On Jan. 23, 2019 Diane Chase and I were in downtown Vancouver, Canada interviewing people about how the Internet has changed people's views on Adolf Hitler when I got attacked. A masked man on a bike stole my sign, then stole my camera. I grabbed his bike to get my camera back and he punch me in the head and took off. We then made a police report. We filmed this video with my cell phone right after this happened.

Controversy arose when American players refused to stand up while singing the national anthem
Posted by edi69torf
US President Donald Trump has recently made a vow not to watch any American football or football match if the players refuse to stand up to salute the flag and sing the national anthem.
Earlier this week, the American Football Association announced a shocking decision to allow players not to stand up while singing the national anthem, while expressing support for the anti-discrimination movement. Racism is going strong and spreading across America.
This decision immediately met with fierce opposition from the head of the White House – President Donald Trump. In addition, he also criticized the players of the American Rugby Championship (NFL) for kneeling while singing the National Anthem and considering it as a disrespect for the country.
With American football, this was inspired by the act of kneeling in the US captain Megan Rapinoe song in 2017 as a message to show solidarity with the activist. rights-cum-rugby midfielder Colin Kaepernick, in protesting injustice and systematic repression of black people.
"I will not watch a football match. Looks like the NFL still keeps their mind in that direction as well. So I will not watch any more American football games, "President Donald Trump announced on Twitter's personal page.
Along with the American Football Federation, another representative of the American Rugby Association – Roger Goodell also expressed his stance by admitting that he had made a mistake because he ignored the "voice of the players" and that they absolutely have the right to protest in peace.

Chris Hammell has been the vineyard manager at Bien Nacido since the early 2000s, and he does an incredible job, year in and year out. 2015 was a tough year for all Pinot growers, but Chris and his gang delivered Sandler's most bountiful crop at 2.5 tons per acre. The fruit is surprisingly still cool climate Santa Maria Valley in a year that was anything but cool. It's almost as if these 43 year old vines were telling Mother Nature she could choose the early harvest date, but she wasn't going to affect the flavor of the fruit.
The 2015 Sandler Bien Nacido Pinot has a weight similar to the large-framed 2010, but with the elegance and smokiness of the 2012. It should drink well from late 2017 through 2026.

The Sports Then and Now Vintage Athlete of the Week was the staff ace on a team that pulled one of the greatest upsets in baseball history 40 years ago.
"Tom Terrific" Seaver won the first of his three career Cy Young Awards in 1969 and won a crucial game in the World Series as the New York Mets captivated the nation by winning the 1969 World Series over the seemingly invincible Baltimore Orioles.
Greatness was expected of Seaver following his college career at the University of Southern California. The Los Angeles Dodgers originally drafted Seaver in 1965, but they refused to meet his demand of a $70,000 contract.
The following spring, Seaver was drafted first by the Atlanta Braves and signed with the squad, but Baseball Commissioner William Eckert voided the contract. Eventually, Seaver's rights were awarded to the New York Mets.
After just one minor league season, Seaver joined the Mets in 1967 and was named to the All-Star team while earning National League Rookie of the Year honors.
By 1969, Seaver was the established ace of a talented pitching staff that also included Jerry Koosman, Gary Gentry, Nolan Ryan and Tug McGraw.
He won his final 10 regular season decisions in 1969 as the Mets rallied to win the National League East. He finished the season with a 25-7 record and 2.21 ERA.
After winning his only start in the NL Championship Series, ironically against the Braves, Seaver started the opening game of the 1969 World Series. He lost the game 4-1, but came back in game four to allow just six hits in 10 innings and record the 2-1 victory.
Sports Illustrated honored Seaver as their Sportsman of the Year in 1969.
Seaver recorded four additional 20+ victory seasons for the Mets and twice led the National League in ERA.
Ironically, Seaver earned his second Cy Young Award in a season during which he won only 19 games. In 1973 Seaver led the NL with a 2.08 ERA and also had a league-best 251 strikeouts as the Mets returned to the World Series.
He also was named the Cy Young winner in 1975 when he went 22-9 with a 2.38 earned run average.
Traded to the Cincinnati Reds during the middle of the 1977, Seaver finished that season with 21 victories in what would be his final 20+ victory season.
He spent five and a half years with the Reds. In 1981, Seaver was second in the NL Cy Young voting as he registered a 14-2 record with a 2.54 ERA in the strike-shortened campaign.
Seaver eclipsed the 300-victory mark while with the Chicago White Sox in 1985. He finished his career with 311 wins and a 2.86 ERA.
In 1992, Seaver was selected for the Baseball Hall of Fame with a higher percentage of the ballots than any other player in the history of the Hall.
If you had a favorite athlete growing up that you would like to see featured as the Sports Then and Now Vintage Athlete of the Week, send me a nomination by e-mail.

Research what it takes to become a title examiner. Learn about job duties, education and training requirements, along with salary information, to find out if this is the career for you. Schools offering Risk Management degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
A title examiner locates and researches records of real estate ownership. This involves studying mortgages, liens, judgments, easements, plat books, maps, contracts and agreements. Title examiners are also responsible for knowing what legal instruments apply to a given estate, including taxes. All the documentation they review needs to be summarized, organized and filed for future reference. Detailed information on this career can be found in the following table.
What Will I Do as a Title Examiner?
Your main responsibility as a title examiner is to locate and recover public title records. The purpose of a title search may be to establish ownership of land or other property, ensure the strength of an ownership claim, or determine if there are existing claims for unpaid assessments, bills or taxes on a property. Specific duties include establishing the validity of individual titles; verifying facts in liens, judgments, contracts and mortgages; preparing lists of all legal documents associated with a parcel of land or piece of property; sharing title-related information with law enforcement personnel, lenders, buyers, sellers and contractors; and entering new or corrected information into title records.
Little to no growth is projected in the field for the 2014-2024 decade. In May 2015, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported employment numbers of about 54,620, not including any examiners who were self-employed.
According to the BLS, legal services firms and insurance companies are your leading employment prospects. You can find a smaller number of opportunities with real estate firms, oil and gas extraction companies and local government agencies. The BLS notes that title examiners, abstractors and searchers earned a median of $44,370 as of 2015.
What Education Would Help Me?
In some cases a high school diploma or GED is sufficient for employment as a title examiner. O*Net OnLine reports around 56% of title examiners, abstractors and searches have only a diploma or the equivalent. You might receive on-the-job training as a searcher or abstractor, then transition into a title examiner position.
Associate's degree programs in paralegal studies can also prepare you to work as an examiner. Paralegal programs primarily train you in the basics of law and legal research in order to assist attorneys. However, the skills you develop in document management and the retrieval and interpretation of public records are directly applicable to the career of a title examiner. Courses in real estate law and insurance law can provide relevant background knowledge.
At least one organization provides certification for examiners. You can obtain the Certified Title Examiner and the Senior Certified Title Examiner designations from the Association of Title Examiners. Each has a certification exam composed of multiple choice, essay and true/false questions requiring a score of 80% or better to pass.
Some other related careers that require many of the same skills include those of license clerks, loan interviewers and paralegals. License clerks are responsible for reviewing applications for licensure and verifying document authenticity. Loan interviewers review applications for loans, examine related documents and interview applicants to determine if they are fit for a loan. Paralegals typically have an associate's or bachelor's degree, and they assist lawyers by researching the facts of a case, preparing case files and speaking with clients or witnesses.

View Full Version : My new key cover!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it! Have the same one!!!!
Sweet covers, but I also noticed how much I like the 2013 FOB with the white button accents (Juair) over the 2012 (redred and myself). Though I imagine after a while both of our FOBs will look similar.
One advantage the '12 has is raised icons. You could easily put white paint on yours with a toothpick, whereas mine and Juair's FOBs will end up smooth and blank eventually: There's nothing for us to trace on once the white has worn off. I'll bet the '12 FOB was more expensive to manufacture.
Very observant!:thumbsup:I didn't notice the raised icon variance. You might very well be right.
I pay 23.00US for my key cover on Ebay shipped.It came on the original Fiat/Lancia box.....not a copy!!
Nice fob covers, I got the normal ones free from my dealer, a blue and a red. I decided to just use the red top & black bottom for now.
I like these but I saw some Abarth ones that were black and around the bottom it had the side stripe style badge in white.
I went for plain red for $5 shipped off of Ebay. Fits great, looks good to me.
we have loads of key covers :) All types and different price points, just in case you felt like browsing!


This message today is for my Trump supporting friends, or my right-leaning friends who aren't big fans of Trump but like American conservative policies as currently implemented. I promise it's not a finger wag or an apologetic to convince you of a different way, at least not from me.
I know you love people, and you wish to show no partiality. You don't like what you call "identity politics", and you think that like Justice Roberts said, "the way to stop discriminating on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race." You say that racism is a heart issue, not a legislative or other kind of issue, and that only by changing hearts and building relationships can we evolve to be a people that do not show partiality. Once we love each other correctly, the systems will take care of themselves, we'll tear them down together. You believe that America with its mighty armies and unleashing of free market forces is the greatest country on Earth, and that we've primarily been a force for good in the world. Mistakes have been made in the details, but our approach was right, basically every time.
Most importantly for today, you genuinely respect and honor Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and his legacy. You want to judge by content of character, not color of skin, like King.
So today, if the above matches your views on race, please honor Dr. King by reading Letter From A Birmingham Jail. If the above matches your views on America, read his Beyond Vietnam speech that made him hated and marginalized by many. And no matter what, you should read the entire text of his whole I Have A Dream speech that has defined his legacy more than any other for who America thinks it is and who it wants to be.
Take in these words from our latter day prophet. Wrestle with them. Rebut if you like; your argument is not with me, but with him. Understand the context in which they were delivered. I Have A Dream was delivered at a march for economic justice. King was in jail to write his letter because he was protesting for better treatment, because he was asserting that Black Lives Matter, too, long before that was a catchphrase. King was well studied in theology and philosophy, and digested and engaged with a rich tradition of ideas that also were critical in our country's formation.
Instead of quoting King out of context or, as my friend Elizabeth Behrens pointed out in her comments at Be The Bridge Live, focusing on a vision of children of all colors holding hands without being concerned about what happens when the playdate is over, really engage with Rev. Dr. King today. And once you've read who he's consistently been, in full context, ask yourself what he would have to say about our moment.
Would he agree with our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?
How might he suggest we deal with immigration?
What would he have to say about the DOJ report on Ferguson, the shootings of unarmed people, and the uprisings in Ferguson and Baltimore?
What would he have said about Charlottesville?
Would he have stood beside the elder in Washington, singing the peace song between the jeering Hebrew Israelites and the children from the Catholic school who, instead of crucifixes or robes, were draped in the clothing of acolytes of the Church of Trump?
Would he have something to say about the environmental injustice in Flint and other cities?
Like any good prophet, I think King has correctives for both sides of the aisle. His convictions do not align neatly with a party affiliation. Let's listen clearly, and commit that our work to justice will not be restricted to brief prayer and possibly teary reflection without disrupting anything in our segregated, convenient lives. Let's get into real relationship with people not like us. Let's believe them when they tell us about their suffering, rather than assuming that, unlike ourselves, they are being influenced by the media and simply need to have their eyes opened so they can rightly know good and evil, like ourselves.
Let's listen to King this year. Let's learn from him. And talk to me about it afterward! I'd love to hear how the meeting went.
Thanks so much for sharing this message with me! It has certainly been great food for thought on this MLK, Jr. holiday. I am African American, and I fully believe that racism is a heart issue. However, as a Christian, I believe that man is born into a sinful world, so it is a disgrace to suggest that oppressed people should just wait for their oppressors' hearts to change in order to have protections from discrimination. King's Letter From a Birmingham Jail provides a wonderful perspective on the need to act and not just wait for change.

Fayemi pays glowing tributes at ex-chair Ekiti SUBEB, Prof. Aladejana @funeral - ITREALMS
Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi spike glowingly of the late Prof Francisca Aladejana, former Provost of the College of Education, Ikere- Ekiti, at her funeral mass held at the St Patrick's Catholic cathedral, Ado Ekiti on Thursday. He described the deceased as a rare breed scholar and administrator who loved and served the state passionately.
Prof Aladejana aged 62 years, was until her death, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Basic, Secondary and Vocational Education. She had previously served as Chairperson of the State's Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB).
Dr Fayemi in his remarks, described the late Professor of Education as a woman of substance who was humble, brilliant, motherly and who dedicated and lived a sacrificial life of service to the people of Ekiti State.
Speaking glowingly of her contribution to the development of education in the state in particular, Dr Fayemi said Prof Aladejana would be remembered for repositioning the College of Education Ikere, (now Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere (BOUESTI), and for raising the enrolment figure of primary school pupils by over 40,000 during her tenure as SUBEB Chairman.
The Governor who stated that the only way to celebrate Prof Aladejana's lifestyle was by living a life of service to others. He added that the late SUBEB boss lived her life in the service of her state in "a distinguished manner to the admiration of Ekiti people".
"I really don't know her when I appointed her but she came highly recommended when we were looking for someone who will help revive the College of Education, Ikere. We first appointed her as Sole Administrator of the College, later as Acting Provost, and she later competed with others and came first in the interview process for the substantive Provost of the College of Education. And for the five years she was there, she distinguished herself, she really turned around the college and left it in far stronger standing.
"So it was not really difficult when I returned to Government House after my sabbatical to call on her and asked her to take over as the Ekiti SUBEB Chairman where, again she did a yeoman job because that is a very difficult office in many ways, but just as my Lord Bishop said, she will always smile, soft spoken and very determined about the task.
"Between the time she took over and when she left that office she has raised the enrolment figure in our primary school by over 40,000 pupils and then she went to help run a number of our World Bank- assisted projects as my Special Adviser on Basic, Secondary and Technical Education.
"Prof Aladejana also did several other things, in fact my wife was telling me a couple of days ago how she developed a gender policy for our secondary schools and worked closely with her in developing that policy, before it became public."
In his sermon, the Catholic Bishop of Ekiti Diocese, Most Reverend Felix Ajakaiye, urged Nigerian youths to surmount their challenges like the late Aladejana whose father's death did not prevent her from making headway in her academics as a teenager, adding: "she suffered a lot but persevered in hardship and came out triumphantly"
Bishop Ajakaye who spoke form the Books of Wisdom 3:1-9 and 2nd Thessalonians 4:13-18, further charged the congregation to live a good life and use their talents positively with the mind set that they would account for their deeds on judgement day.
The funeral service was attended by the Wife of the Governor, Erelu Bisi Fayemi; Deputy Governor, Otunba Bisi Egbeyemi; Deputy Speaker, Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon Hakeem Jamiu; Secretary to the State Government, Biodun Oyebanji; and Head of Service, Mrs Peju Babafemi.
Others were former Head of Service, Hon Ayodeji Ajayi, the Catholic Bishop of Oyo Diocese, Most Rev Emmanuel Badejo, Vicar General of Osogbo Diocese, Thadeus Ajayi; Pro Chancellor Obafemi Awolowo, Dr Yemi Ogunbiyi and Vice Chancellor )AU, Prof Eyitope Ogunbodede; Vice Chancellor of Ekiti State University, Prof Edward Olanipekun and Vice Chancellor of BOUESTI, Prof Olufemi Adeoluwa as well as members of the state executive council.

Hello - thank you in advance for any advice you can give me about this problem.
First, let me tell you what I have figured out.
My first problem was to figure out the probability of drawing at least one Ace from a deck of cards, given 7 draws from the deck (without returning the cards to the deck).
Now it starts getting more difficult. How do I figure out the probability of drawing at least 2 Aces from the deck (or at least 3 Aces), in the same 7 draws?
Now for the final question. I'm still drawing 7 times, but instead of drawing a single card each time, I'm drawing 2 cards each time, and each time I get to keep one card and must discard 1 card. Now I assume calculating the probability of getting at least one Ace is still the same, using equation 1 above (but with 14 cards rather than 7). But how does it change the probability of getting at least 2 Aces, or at least 3 Aces?

Ho Kinead, at least for the first question I think you are right. When I have doubts about the solution of a particular problem I use to simulate the problem. As you will see, the aproximate solution from the simulation is very close to your answer. I think you can do something similar for the other questions. Good look.
The following code is written in R (open source), I hope it is useful for you.
given 7 draws from the deck (without replacement).
Now it starts getting more difficult.
Find the probability of drawing at least 2 Aces in the same 7 draws?

Dream Life.
by Ailsa Ross	on July 29, 2012 October 16, 2014
My life right now is travel, and in general it's alright. After all, when else will I be able to dance with the matador at a rodeo in Mexico?
Photo by Nicholas Mazzucco.
But just as office workers might while away the days by dreaming of Brazilian beaches and the cobbled streets of Paris, when I'm shivering under filthy hostel blankets that smell like spunk, I drift off to sleep by imagining my dream life if I was to settle down.
Elle (magazine) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I imagine high ceilings and white walls, coffee table books and light shining in from huge bay windows. Old battered tables and crumpled broadsheets, fresh herbs growing in the window, every spice in the world in the cupboard. Wooden floors and rugs from places I've never heard of. Posters from the Pompidou, Elle magazine on subscription. Chic and slouchy clothes in the wardrobe. High-waisted slacks from American Apparel or Zara. A hairdryer, a bubble bath and roast dinner. Tickets to a gig lying on a shelf by the door. A bicycle and fresh flowers. A garden that no one can see into. An iPhone! A Kindle!
Most of all I'd like a cup of tea and a cuddle from my mum, because I'm under the weather and feeling poorly. Fifty hours of air-conditioned buses in three days will do that to you. C'est La Vie!
How does your dream life look?

In the 19th century, women were expected to wear tight corsets and big dresses. But Elizabeth Smith Miller — whose family was one of many risking their lives to help runaways on the Underground Railroad — decided she wanted to wear 'Turkish pantaloons' like she'd seen in Europe. ⠀ ⠀ She became one of the first women in the States to go out in a pair, which she wore under a knee-length skirt.⠀ ⠀ Her friend, Amelia Bloomer, was also impressed by this new item of clothing. She wrote about it in her newspaper, The Lily — the first in the U.S. to be edited by and for women. The bloomer was born.
Now more than ever, the world is recognizing how strong women and girls are. How strong? In the early 1920s, Inuit expeditioner Ada Blackjack survived for two years as a castaway on an uninhabited island in the Arctic Ocean before she was finally rescued. And she's just one example.⠀ ⠀ The Girl Who Rode a Shark: And Other Stories of Daring Women is out now around the world. 🌏 ⠀ A fun, smart children's book about women adventurers from around the world, the reviews so far are so good (it's already received a ⭐Kirkus star ⭐)! The art is by the brilliant @amyjpeg, and there are two new chapters in this edition. ⠀ If you have any questions about the book, please ask below!
The day after giving birth, it's said that Grace O'Malley (c.1530-c.1603) fought off an attack from Turkish pirates. It's also said that she proposed to her second husband only because she wanted his castle for herself. ⠀ ⠀ After a year of marriage, she gave him the ultimate divorce line: "I dismiss you." ⠀ ⠀ Truth or hyperbole, one thing's for sure — O'Malley was one tough pirate queen.
If you're in Edmonton on Saturday October 5th (that's tomorrow!), I'll be talking all things women adventurers and THE GIRL WHO RODE A SHARK with the children's book author Nhung Tran-Davies. ⠀ ⠀ The event is free! It's at @audreysbooks. There'll be coffee (and, importantly, sweets) and the event starts at 2 pm. Hope to see you there! Ailsa from @womenadventurers ⠀ ⠀ P.S. If you're not in Edmonton, you can still buy The Girl Who Rode a Shark online from Audreys. Or at your local indie bookstore! 🍂

It's alive. This sea of grass that extends as far as I can see is alive. Every square inch, from the dung beetle that is pushing her prize ball past my foot, to the herd of wildebeests that made the dung to begin with. Even the cattle egrets that feed on the back of the zebras, or the ants that live in the acacia thorns have their place in this vastness.
Oh and let us not forget the lions, hyenas, jackals, and even servals that hunt all creatures, as large as water buffalo or as small as the lowly field mouse. This is the Serengeti plain, one large ecosystem that we've left relatively unchanged, the herds of tourist-filled mini-buses excepted, where the gazelles still wipe their scent glands on stalks of grass and impala chase each other randomly.
Moreover, my cousin Sean, his girlfriend Christina, and I are now in the middle of it, this real-life National Geographic Special. We camp where elephants walk past on the way to water, we sleep to the sounds of hyenas hunting, and awake to the calls of baboons looking for breakfast.
When we pile into the Land Rover, we pause to let giraffe cross the road and reverse when elephants decide to wander down the wrong side of the track. Near the kopi (rock outcroppings), prides of lion watch us as we watch them, while they sleep off their nocturnal hunting and eating. Yes, out here we are very aware of the food chain, and if we step out of the Land Rover, our place in it.
While we were digging out two stuck scientists, we even had a close moment where two hyenas started to track us, looking for an easy meal. Out here, you realize how vulnerable man really is. Unlike the big herbivores, we have no speed or horns, and unlike even the baboons, we don't have fangs. Just soft, pink furless flesh ready for the taking by anything that can out-think us.
Luckily, we were not out-thought, and spent a week watching nature play out around us with impunity. Zebra chased impalas, elephants pushed over trees, servals hunted field mice, and jackals munched road kill while we watched with open-mouthed awe.
We might build Petronas Towers, International Space Stations, or even Disneyland, but out here, we pale in comparison to the beauty, majesty, and efficiency of even the lowly dung beetle. We are so unworthy.

Disease-causing mutations exhibit disparate effects on the localization of bestrophin-1
Doximity
Mutations in BEST1 are a common cause of inherited retinal degeneration in humans. The gene encodes bestrophin-1 (Best1), a homo-oligomeric, integral membrane protein localized to the basolateral plasma membrane of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).
More than 200 distinct mutations have been reported to cause five distinct retinal degenerative diseases, including:
Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD)
Adult vitelliform macular dystrophy (AVMD)
Autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy (ARB)
Autosomal dominant vitreoretinochoroidopathy (ADVIRC)
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP)
These diseases, collectively called the bestrophinopathies, are distinguished by type of inheritance, effects on the electro-oculogram and electroretinogram, age of disease onset, and location and extent of retinal lesions. The mechanisms that underlie the bestrophinopathies and determine why mutations cause one disease over another are not yet known.
Localization and oligomerization
To gain insights into these diseases, Alan D. Marmorstein, Ph.D., and a research team at Mayo Clinic's campus in Rochester, Minnesota, conducted a localization and oligomerization screen for 28 Best1 mutants associated with AVMD, ARB, ADVIRC and RP. Results of their study were published in Experimental Eye Research in 2014.
Researchers expressed the mutants, fused to yellow fluorescent protein, in polarized Maden-Darby canine kidney monolayers. The team screened the mutants for defects in localization and oligomerization using confocal microscopy and immunofluorescence, live-cell fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and reciprocal coimmunoprecipitation experiments.
"All 28 mutants exhibited comparable FRET efficiencies to and coimmunoprecipitated with wild-type (WT) Best1, indicating unimpaired oligomerization," says Dr. Marmorstein. "RP- and ADVIRC-associated mutants were properly localized to the basolateral plasma membrane of cells, while two AVMD and most ARB mutants were mislocalized. When coexpressed, all mislocalized mutants caused mislocalization of WT Best1 to intracellular compartments."
The results indicate that:
Mislocalization of Best1 is not an absolute feature of any individual bestrophinopathy, since it occurs in BVMD, AVMD and ARB
Mislocalization of Best1 is not a cause of disease, since some ARB mutants that do not also cause dominant disease cause mislocalization of Best1
Absence of Best1 activity from the plasma membrane is tolerated
The research team also found that ARB truncation mutants L174Qfs*57 and R200X can form oligomers with WT Best1, indicating that the first approximately 174 amino acids of Best1 are sufficient for oligomerization to occur.
"Ultimately, this research indicates that AVMD, ARB, ADVIRC and RP are associated with disparate effects on Best1 localization, but not oligomerization," says Dr. Marmorstein. "Further research is indicated. This research did not explore specific patterns of localization, which could further distinguish individual mutations and potentially differentiate mislocalization in different diseases. The study also did not assess the functional consequences of mislocalized mutants in RPE cells."
"For now, we postulate that unique changes in calcium homeostasis, phagocytosis, binding partners or other factors may underlie the differential pathogenesis of one disease over another," says Dr. Marmorstein.
Researchers seek stem cell donors
Dr. Marmorstein's laboratory is currently using stem cells in their work to find a cure for the bestrophinopathies. Best1 is expressed only in retinal pigment epithelial cells in the eye. The most common bestrophinopathy, Best disease, is dominantly inherited.
"Stem cells from a patient with a bestrophinopathy have the same disease as the donor," says Dr. Marmorstein, "and stem cells derived from a patient's skin can be turned into retinal pigment epithelial cells in the laboratory."
Dr. Marmorstein and collaborators Jose S. Pulido, M.D., and Raymond Iezzi Jr., M.D., at Mayo Clinic, are currently recruiting patients with bestrophinopathies to provide a skin biopsy for these studies.
"We envision using patients' own stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelial cells to determine the best course of treatment for their specific diseases," says Dr. Marmorstein. "In some cases this approach may involve gene therapy. In others, the stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelial cells may be repaired in the laboratory and transplanted back into the patient's eye, preventing loss of vision."

VANITY FAIR.
Then I saw in my Dream, that when they were got out of the Wilderness, they presently saw a Town before them, and the name of that Town is Vanity; and at the Town there is a Fair kept, called Vanity Fair: it is kept all the year long; it beareth the name of Vanity Fair, because the Town where 'tis kept is lighter than Vanity; and also because all that is there sold, or that cometh thither, is Vanity. As is the saying of the wise, All that cometh is Vanity.1
This Fair is no new-erected business, but a thing of antient standing; I will shew you the original of it.
Almost five thousand years agone, there were Pilgrims walking to the Coelestial City, as these two honest persons are; and Beelzebub, Apollyon, and Legion, with their Companions, perceiving by the path that the Pilgrims made, that their way to the City lay through this Town of Vanity, they contrived here to set up a Fair; a Fair wherein should be sold all sorts of Vanity, and that it should last all the year long: therefore at this Fair are all such Merchandize sold, as Houses, Lands, Trades, Places, Honours, Preferments, Titles, Countries, Kingdoms, Lusts, Pleasures, and Delights of all sorts, as Whores, Bawds, Wives, Husbands, Children, Masters, Servants, Lives, Blood, Bodies, Souls, Silver, Gold, Pearls, Precious Stones, and what not?
And moreover, at this Fair there is at all times to be seen Jugglings, Cheats, Games, Plays, Fools, Apes, Knaves, and Rogues, and that of every kind.
Here are to be seen too, and that for nothing, Thefts, 1 Isa. xl. 17; Eccl. i.; chap. ii. 11, 17.
Murders, Adulteries, false-swearers, and that of a bloodred colour.
And as in other Fairs of less moment, there are the several Rows and Streets under their proper names, where such and such Wares are vended; so here likewise you have the proper places, Rows, Streets, (viz. Countries and Kingdoms) where the Wares of this Fair are soonest to be found: Here is the Britain Row, the French Row, the Italian Row, the Spanish Row, the German Row, where several sorts of Vanities are to be sold. But as in other Fairs, some one commodity is as the chief of all the Fair, so the ware of Rome and her Merchandize is greatly promoted in this Fair; only our English nation, with some others, have taken a dislike thereat.
Now, as I said, the way to the Cœlestial City lies just through this Town where this lusty fair is kept; and he that will go to the City, and yet not go through this Town, must needs go out of the world.1 The Prince of Princes himself, when here, went through this Town to his own Country,2 and that upon a Fair-day too; yea, and as I think, it was Beelzebub, the chief Lord of this Fair, that invited him to buy of his Vanities: yea, would have made him Lord of the Fair, would he but have done him reverence as he went through the Town. Yea, because he was such a person of honour, Beelzebub had him from Street to Street, and shewed him all the Kingdoms of the World in a little time, that he might (if possible) allure that Blessed One to cheapen and buy some of his Vanities; but he had no mind to the Merchandize, and therefore left the Town, without laying out so much as one Farthing upon these Vanities. This 2 Matt. iv. 8; Luke iv. 5-7.
1 I Cor. v. 10.
Fair therefore is an antient thing, of long standing and a very great Fair.
Now these Pilgrims, as I said, must needs go through this Fair. Well, so they did; but behold, even as they entred into the Fair, all the people in the Fair were moved, and the Town itself as it were in a hubbub about them; and that for several reasons for
First, The Pilgrims were cloathed with such kind of Raiment as was diverse from the Raiment of any that traded in that Fair. The people therefore of the Fair made a great gazing upon them;1 some said they were Fools, some they were Bedlams, and some they are Outlandishmen.
Secondly, And as they wondred at their Apparel, so they did likewise at their Speech; for few could understand what they said: they naturally spoke the language of Canaan, but they that kept the Fair were the men of this World; so that, from one end of the Fair to the other, they seemed Barbarians each to the other.
Thirdly, But that which did not a little amuse the Merchandizers was that these Pilgrims set very light by all their Wares, they cared not so much as to look upon them; and if they called upon them to buy, they would put their fingers in their ears, and cry, Turn away mine eyes from beholding Vanity, and look upwards, signifying that their trade and traffick was in Heaven.2
One chanced mockingly, beholding the carriages of the men, to say unto them, What will ye buy? But they, looking gravely upon him, answered, We buy the Truth. At that there was an occasion taken to despise the men the more; some mocking, some taunting, some speaking reproachfully, and some calling upon others to 2 Ps. cxix. 37; Phil. iii. 19, 20. 8 Prov. xxiii. 23.
1 I Cor. ii. 7, 8.
smite them.
At last things came to a hubbub and great stir in the Fair, insomuch that all order was confounded. Now was word presently brought to the Great One of the Fair, who quickly came down and deputed some of his most trusty friends to take those men into examination, about whom the Fair was almost overturned. So the men were brought to examination; and they that sat upon them asked them whence they came, whither they went, and what they did there in such an unusual Garb? The men told them that they were Pilgrims and Strangers in the World, and that they were going to their own Country, which was the Heavenly Jerusalem;1 and that they had given no occasion to the men of the Town, nor yet to the Merchandizers, thus to abuse them, and to let them in their Journey, except it was for that, when one asked them what they would buy, they said they would buy the Truth. But they that were appointed to examine them did not believe them to be any other than Bedlams and Mad, or else such as came to put all things into a confusion in the Fair. Therefore they took them and beat them, and besmeared them with dirt, and then put them into the Cage, that they might be made a spectacle to all the men of the Fair. There therefore they lay for some time, and were made the objects of any man's sport, or malice, or revenge, the Great One of the Fair laughing still at all that befell them. But the men being patient, and not rendring railing for railing, but contrariwise blessing, and giving good words for bad, and kindness for injuries done, some men in the Fair that were more observing, and less prejudiced than the rest, began to check and blame the baser sort for their continual abuses done by them to the men; they therefore 1 Heb. xi. 13-16.
in angry manner let fly at them again, counting them as bad as the men in the Cage, and telling them that they seemed confederates, and should be made partakers of their misfortunes. The other replied, that for ought they could see, the men were quiet, and sober, and intended nobody any harm; and that there were many that traded in their Fair that were more worthy to be put into the Cage, yea, and Pillory too, than were the men that they had abused. Thus, after divers words had passed on both sides (the men behaving themselves all the while very wisely and soberly before them), they fell to some blows among themselves, and did harm one to another. Then were these two poor men brought before their examiners again, and there charged as being guilty of the late hubbub that had been in the Fair. So they beat them pitifully and hanged irons upon them, and led them in chains up and down the Fair, for an example and a terror to others, lest any should speak in their behalf, or join themselves unto them. But Christian and Faithful behaved themselves yet more wisely, and received the ignominy and shame that was cast upon them, with so much meekness and patience, that it won to their side (though but few in comparison of the rest) several of the men in the Fair. This put the other party yet into a greater rage, insomuch that they concluded the death of these two men. Wherefore they threatned, that the Cage, nor irons should serve their turn, but that they should die, for the abuse they had done, and for deluding the men of the Fair.

Heroica in association with Stellar Quines and National Galleries Scotland – are creating a new journey for Joan Eardley: one which brings her back to new life, and follows her as she makes her way through a life of joys and frustrations, friendships and solitary stretches, disillusionments and disappointments – as well as passions and triumphs.
Research and development began for this project in 2014. The script was workshopped at the National Portrait Gallery in September 2015, with an audience invited to share in a Q&A with the writer, director and actor after extracts were performed. Further development in May 2016 led to two further sharings of work in progress and the National Galleries Edinburgh.
Development has continued and the play is touring the UK in May and June 2017 including 5 – 7 May at the National Galleries Edinburgh.
Find out more about the play's development in the The Scotsman article The playwrights shining a light on the forgotten corners of history, The National Gallery Scotland blog, and on BBC Radio Scotland.
Heroica Theatre Company (formerly Square Peg Productions, founded 2005) champions the achievements of maverick women.
The experience of a Heroica production is unique. Each play event illuminates the life of a secret heroine, celebrating a woman of great achievement, often a maverick and usually unsung. It also reimagines the relationships between history and the present day, and between a story and the place in which an audience watches it unfold.
For Heroica Theatre Company – based in the Pennines and operating all over the UK – location and environment provide much more than a backdrop to the action.

Hockey Recruiting : USNTDP U-17 Roster for 2014-2015
Home/ Hockey Recruiting : USNTDP U-17 Roster for 2014-2015
Carl De Lucia HockeyCAN Hockey News, Hockey, Hockey News, Hockey Recruiting, USA Hockey News, USNTDP
This list will give you a player by player look at the 2014-2015 U-17 team that will represent USA Hockey. These are the players selected as the best within their age group by USA Hockey. There were a few players USA Hockey wanted, but couldn't sign – such as Logan Brown of the Indiana Jr. Ice who will likely sign with the Niagara Icedogs (OHL) who drafted him with the 6th overall pick in the OHL Entry Draft.
It's interesting to note that 10 of these players came from 3 total teams : Shattuck St. Mary's (U-16's) – St. Louis Blues (U-16's) and Honeybaked (U-16's).
Shattuck St. Mary's – (F) Keller (F) McPhee (D) Lindgren (D) Greenway
St. Louis Blues – (F) Frederic (D) Martin (G) Woll
Honeybaked – (F) Khodorenko (F) Pastujov (F) Jones
(F) – Joey Anderson – Hill-Murray HS – MN-Duluth commit – He's shown he can score, his statistics are impressive. In 25 games 21-29-50 points. He's coming from a top tier Minnesota high school team, should be a contributor for this team, probably not the star.
(F) Trent Frederic – St.Louis Blues U-16's – The leading scorer of a loaded St.Louis Blues team. In 32 games had 11-19-30 points.
(F) Keegan Howdeshell – Compuware U-16's – One of the later invites to the team. In 50 games had 11-9-20 points.
(F) Max Jones – Honeybaked U-16's – Highly regarded player is wanted equally bad by 2 elite programs – the Plymouth Whalers (OHL) and the Michigan Wolverines (NCAA). In 25 games had 9-13-22 points.
(F) William Lockwood – Oakland Grizzlies U-16's – Michigan – 19-19-38 for Oakland Grizzlies team.
(F) Clayton Keller – Shattuck St. Mary's U-16 – Boston University – He's a scorer and will likely be a scorer on this team too. In 55 games had 31 goals and 36 assists. OHL wants Keller, but look for him to end up in the NCAA.
(F) Graham McPhee – Shattuck St. Mary's U-16 – Boston College – Like Keller, from SSM and going to Boston powerhouse. Not as much of a scorer, but a good player certainly. In 55 games had 25-30-55 points.
(F) James Sanchez – CYA – Michigan – In 59 games had 22-35-57 points.
(F) Nick Pasujov – Honeybaked U-16's – The Florida native was the captain of the loaded Honeybaked midget min team. In 15 league games he had 6-13 for 19 points.
(F) Patrick Khodorenko – Honeybaked U-16's – The California native (yes, they recruit!) is a scorer. In 22 games had 9-21-30. He should be one of the leading scorers for the USNTDP, top 2 line player.
(F) Zach Walker – Colorado Thunderbirds U-16's – He had 13-17-30 for the National Champion runner-up team.
About the D : Interesting thing about the 'D' here, there are only 2 for NCAA coaches to recruit. The rest are committed to programs already. Also, I will put this list in order of skill and overall ranking.
(D) Chad Krys – NJ Rockets U-19's – An offensive defender who is solid in his own end. Krys has played against older competition for awhile. In 26 games had 8-22-30 points. Seems like he'll end up at a Hockey East power program.
(D) Ryan Lindgren – Shattuck St. Mary's U-16's – Minnesota – An absolute talent, he dominated with the SSM bantam squad when they won the National tournament. Lindgren is highly skilled, might be an early selection in the 2015 NHL Draft.
(D) Adam Fox – Long Island U-16's – Harvard – If he does end up at Harvard, it will be quite the coup for them, he should be a very effective player at the NCAA level. This is a 'D' who can score in bunches, lit up the HS level for a season. In just 22 games for Long Island he had 14-37-51 points.
(D) Luke Martin – St.Louis Blues U-16's – Michigan – A big powerful defender going to Michigan, sounds familiar. Martin was probably the best player on a really good St.Louis midget team. He had 4-17-21 from the blue line.
(D) Griffin Luce – Salisbury Prep – Michigan – Played for the best team in New England Prep School hockey and won a championship. He's from New York, but has played in Canada. A talented and intelligent player who in 26 games had 5-4-9 points.
(D) James Greenway – Shattuck St. Mary's U-16's – Has 2 really talented brothers and he might be just as good. A big defender that will be recruited by many programs in the coming year. In 51 games had 6-17-23 points.
(D) Michael Campoli – St. Lac Louis Lions –
(D) Matthew Hellickson – Rodgers HS (MN) – Notre Dame – Played for a smaller school in Minnesota but he was good. Had 5-23-28 to lead the 'D', can play in his own end too. Was a later invite to the roster.
These goaltenders beat out some impressive competition. Not on the roster : Michael Latorella (Honeybaked) Stephen Dhillion (Buffalo Regals) and Ryan Edquist (Shattuck St. Mary's) each of whom will likely excel with different programs.
(G) Joseph Woll – St.Louis Blues U-16's – Harvard – He's as solid as they come. In 18 GP was 13-4-1 with a 1.71 GAA and .931 S% for a really good midget team.
(G) Jake Oettinger – Lakeville North HS (MN) – He lead his HS team to the Minnesota state championship game as a freshman, that's impressive. In 19 GP was 7-2-1 with a 1.86 GAA and a .931 S%.

8233 Trek Mongolia 2022 Immerse yourself in the ancient kingdom of the Incas on our once-in-a-lifetime trek to Machu Picchu. Hiking through rainforests, mountains and high desert plateau, we'll discover sacred ruins and an amazing mix of cultures. 3 Mongolia Trek https://www.dream-challenges.com/challenges/trek-mongolia-2022/ https://www.dream-challenges.com/media/5700/adobestock_291206317.jpg InStock 2000 GBP Trek
Trek Mongolia 2022
4 June - 12 June 2022
Remaining amount Self-funded Pay the balance Info £1,950 Sponsorship Info £3,900
Escape to the enthralling natural landscape of the Terelj National Park, as we trek through a paradise of alpine scenery, from wild-flower meadows to mountain foothills to towering valleys and fast-flowing rivers.
Our awesome adventure gives us chances to take in this top hiking spot from every angle and even kayak the beautiful River Tuul!
Along the way, we'll keep our eyes peeled for over two-hundred species of birds, including falcons, kestrels and even vultures!
By night, we'll camp in idyllic spots, far from everyday life and looking out for shooting stars in a sky void of light pollution.
From here, our challenge just gets better, as we immerse ourselves entirely in the nomadic lifestyle and stay with a local family in the National Park.
We'll taste traditional Mongolian food, enjoy a fabulous cultural show and even try our hand at archery, before spending the night in a cosy ger.
Ending with a climb up the iconic Chinggis Khan statue, we'll look out over the land we've hiked through and enjoy a free day exploring the sprawling city of Ulaanbaatar.
UK – Ulaanbaatar
We meet as a group for the first time at the airport in London, where we catch our overnight flight to the amazing Mongolia.
Touching down in Ulaanbaatar (also named Ulan Bator) in the morning of Day 2, our local ground handler meets us at the airport and we transfer to our hotel in the city. We get our first taste of the local cuisine with a spot of lunch, before heading out to explore the world's coldest capital city!
Starting our Mongolian adventure in the best way, we immerse ourselves in the country's past visiting the Sukhbaatar Square and the National History Museum.
Here, we get a fantastic introduction to Mongolia's communist past and its amazing range of architecture, from imposing statues to bright yellow buildings, juxtaposed with the modern skyscrapers towering behind them.
From here, our day only gets better as in the early evening, we venture south to a small theatre near Peace Bridge and experience an intimate performance of traditional music and dance by the Tumen Ekh Ensemble.
We dust off our day with a delicious welcome dinner at one of the best local Mongolian restaurants, before retiring to our hotel.
Ulaanbaatar - Terelj National Park – Ar Khurkh Valley | approx. 15km/ 3 hours
Today after breakfast, we transfer (approx. 2 hours) to the iconic Terelj National Park, a hiking hot-spot, renowned for its striking alpine scenery, from evergreen forests to snow-capped peaks to lush, green valleys, ideal for its grazing sheep and horses.
Along the way, we'll stop off at the famous 23m-tall Turtle Rock and the Aryabal Temple, a beautiful meditation site hidden in the mountains, which gives us breath-taking views over the region we're soon to hike through!
We set off alongside the beautiful Terelj River and soon find ourselves winding through towering narrow valleys, shielding us from the wind. Continuing along the river, our path opens up to a grassy plain, before we're dwarfed once again by the two walls of the Ar Khurkh Valley.
Every step of the way today, keep your eyes peeled for the 250 species of birds that live here. We're also likely to spot ground squirrels, foxes, maybe red deer and definitely loads of marmots!
Tonight, we settle down at our comfortable camp in the park and tuck into a delicious Mongolian dinner, as we'll come to get used to throughout our adventure.
Terelj National Park – Khotol Pass | approx. 15-20km/5-6 hours
Waking amidst nature, we fuel up with a hot homemade breakfast and set off on our trek straight away. After yesterday's riverside hike, we encounter a change of terrain, following a rockier route up to the incredible Khotol Pass.
The hike may be challenging, but as we gain height, we're in for extraordinary panoramas over the forests, valleys and rolling meadows that make up this alpine paradise.
Up here, we're also likely to spot more of Mongolia's birds soaring about, from the spectacular but sadly endangered Saker Falcons to the pretty yellow-breasted buntings to the majestic kestrels and even cinereous vultures.
At the end of our rewarding day's hike, we spend another night sleeping in the wild.
Terelj National Park – Dund Bayan – Baruun Bayan Adag | approx. 15-25km/5-6 hours
Up until now, we've been heading North East, but today our challenge takes as a turn. After breakfast at camp, we head South East through the graceful slopes of the Bayan Adag valley.
Thanks to the streams that keep the soil fertile and the flora ideal for grazing, we could have a chance of spotting a Siberian Musk Deer, but we're more likely to encounter the cattle, sheep and horses of local herders.
Leaving the Bayan Adag behind, we reach the foothills of the Altan Ulgii Mountains, part of the magnificent Mongol Altai range, which expands across a whopping sixty hectares and provides a home for a myriad of resilient species, including snow leopards, mountain goats and wolves.
We cover tough and diverse terrain as we trek through mountainous stretches, but you'll be pleased to know we won't venture to the peaks.
Tonight, we enjoy another night camping in the wilderness, satisfied from a big day of walking.
Terelj National Park – Nomadic Homestay
Our last day of hiking gives us the amazing opportunity to end at a traditional Mongolian homestay in the National Park! With our finish line in our mind's eye, we wake to a big breakfast at our camp and set off back to the main part of the Terelj National Park.
Renowned for its stunning riding trails, we can immerse ourselves once again in the seemingly endless expanse of grassy plains, wild-flower meadows, rolling green hills and more imposing, rockier mountains.
Walking a shorter route today, we reach our finish point by mid-afternoon and arrive at the homestay of a friendly local nomadic family. We have the privilege tonight to settle down in a cosy guest ger (nomadic felt-covered dwelling) and immerse ourselves in the nomadic lifestyle.
Mongolians are renowned for their hospitality and we'll see this the moment we reach the homestay. The family may well greet us with steaming cups of salted milk tea and snuff, an everyday ceremony steeped in history and tradition. To follow the ritual politely, we accept the bowls offered with both hands and avoid screwing the top of the snuff bottle firmly shut.
Chatting with the family, we learn loads about their way of life in this remote corner of the world and even try our hand at archery! We also have a chance to enjoy a ger-building competition this afternoon or if time runs away with us, we'll leave it until tomorrow morning.
Our day ends with a fantastic cultural show performed by local musicians and a Khorkhog, 'Mongolian Barbecue' of lamb with the family. If you're veggie, that's no problem at all; just let us know in advance of the challenge and we can cater for any dietary requirement you may have.
Terelj National Park - Kayaking - Chinggis Statue – Ulaanbaatar | approx. 15-20km/1.5-4 hours kayaking
Saying goodbye to the family after breakfast, we head to the river and make the most of this ideal kayaking opportunity! No kayaking experience is necessary as our guide will give us a quick training session.
Then, we launch into the water rushing through the great valley. Following the twists of the valley at quite a fast pace, thanks to the current (5-10km per hour), we see the National Park from a whole new perspective and give our arms a mighty workout!
After around three hours in the boats, we find a safe exiting point and pack up the kayaks. Our coach awaits us here, giving us a brief break to relax on a transfer, until we arrive at the iconic Chinggis Statue at Tsonjin Boldog.
Built in 2008, this 40m-tall statue depicts a legendary scene of the famous Mongolian leader, Chinggis Khan, sitting atop his handsome horse and finding a golden whip.
Parking up at the base of the statue, we start climbing and soon find a staircase, which leads us up the mane of the horse! It's a steep ascent, but our eyes reap the rewards as we reach the top for views of the Tuul River and the Terelj National Park, the hills of Khan Khentii, Chinggis' homeland, standing proud in the distance.
Now that we've taken in this incredible National Park from every possible angle, we bid the area a fond farewell and transfer to a comfortable hotel in Ulaanbaatar.
We end this amazing day with a final group meal at one of our local challenge leader's favourite restaurants.
Ar Burd Els Sand Dunes | approx. 25km
After all that hiking and kayaking, we've earned ourselves a day of rest! Waking to breakfast at our hotel, you're free to relax or explore the sprawling city as you wish.
You may want to explore the Gandantegchilin Monastery, the most important and largest monastery in Mongolia, whose name translates to "Great Place of Complete Joy". Once one of the main Buddhist centres in Asia, the monastery has an incredible two-dozen chapels and an enormous library of religious documents and typography.
Alternatively, you can take this chance to wander around the State Department Store and the city's many craft outlets, including the Tsagaan Alt, Mary and Martha for some last-minute souvenirs.
To give you maximum flexibility on this free day, lunch and dinner are not included, so please make your own arrangements while you're out exploring.
Today sees us travelling back to the UK. Transferring after breakfast to the airport, we fly to London. From there, you make your own way home, no doubt already raring for your next adventure.

This challenge is the perfect motivation to get fit, improve your own mental and physical health and well-being and support the cause closest to your heart.

We are talking about length, of course. Though, even after disambiguation, the answer may change depending on our definition. If we take metres to be the standard unit of length, "a unit of length equal to X metres" could be an acceptable definition. So easy, isn't it? Now we only have to answer the question, how many metres are there in a league?
Here is where we could get lost trying to be more precise again. Conversion values change from one place to another since the early periods of history. Furthermore, we would first need to use standard units other than metres, such as stades and feet, then convert to metres again.
Mendes Pinto reports measures for distance and position being taken after the sun.
Now, what Fernão Mendes Pinto really measures is an angle of the Earth's circumference, taking relative positions on its surface with the sun as a point of reference.
The value of the sphere is well known for this period (Pedro Nunes, Sacrobosco), as nowadays, it has 360 degrees.
Now, FMP is giving distances proportional to 360/17.5. FMP doesn't need to know how long planet Earth is on the meridian, he just measures parts of it and calls a unit of length in his path a league. This universal unit would be finally transferable to whatever the local common unit of length, be it stades, feet, and so on.
Therefore, following this approach, a league is 6.349 km.
More examples needed to actually bring evidence. Close enough to be on the right track!


VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The Catholic Church needs the extraordinary Holy Year to become an effective witness of God's divine mercy, Pope Francis said.
"The jubilee is a favorable time for all of us, so that in contemplating divine mercy, which surpasses every human limitation and shines in the darkness of sin, we may become more convinced and effective witnesses," the pope said Dec. 9 during his weekly general audience.
One day after inaugurating the Year of Mercy, the pope dedicated his audience talk to the significance he hopes the year will have for the church saying that it is a time to experience the "sweet and gentle touch" of God's forgiveness and his presence in difficult times.
"In short, this jubilee is a privileged moment," he said, "so that the church may learn to choose only that which pleases God most": forgiveness and mercy.
"'Lord, I am a sinner. Come with your mercy.' This is beautiful prayer and it's very easy to say every day. 'Lord I am a sinner. Come with your mercy,'" he said.
