Five Creepy Places to Visit in Europe
by Liam McGarry
in Destinations, Europe
Some people call it 'the heebie-jeebies'. Others call it 'the creeps'. In Russia, a scary movie might leave you with мурашки (murashki), and a spooked Spaniard might get the escalofríos. Wherever you're from and whatever you call it, we've all experienced the anxiety that comes with dark alleyways, abandoned buildings, and moonlit cemeteries.
Believe it or not, some people go looking for places that give them the shivers. So, in the spirit of giving the people what they want, we've found some of the most authentic, bone-chilling places you can visit in Europe (rather literally in some instances). From a supposedly haunted castle in France to an abandoned amusement park in Ukraine, read on for travel destinations and attractions that'll give you the willies.
Descend into the Catacombs of San Gaudioso, Naples
"Excuse me, has anybody seen my head?"
Fifth-century Tunisian bishop Saint Gaudiosus might have turned in his grave if he knew how many squatters had joined him within Naples' Catacombs of San Gaudioso. His sacred tomb became something of a post-life retreat for nobles and extra-Godly Christians over the centuries. Then there's the unfortunate influx of plague and cholera victims who arrived during the 17th and 19th centuries.
The reality and history of the Catacombs give them a legitimate spook factor. If that's not enough, how about frescoes designed to incorporate human bones? That's right; Giovanni Balducci, a 17th-century painter, is responsible for one of the most weird and wonderful art projects on Earth. The bones themselves may have been removed, but the paintings of medieval nobles still bear the holes where their skulls were once mounted to the walls.
If you can't shake off the skeletal intrigue after your trip to the catacombs, the Fontanelle Cemetery is located just 13 minutes away. Its skull-laden ossuary is a haunting tribute to those who perished during the plague. Undeniably creepy, this underground resting place is also a powerful space of reflection and an important part of Naples' history.
Skip-the-line for Pripyat Amusement Park, Ukraine
People just don't know how to park these days.
Courtesy of another stellar HBO drama, more and more dark tourists are flocking to Chernobyl for a spot of eerie abandonment. The city of Pripyat has been deserted since 1986 when the disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant saw the city evacuated in 48 hours. Around 50,000 people, mainly plant workers and their families, were displaced, leaving their city to descend into lifelessness.
In Pripyat today, the Geiger counter readings are still extremely high compared to those of a normal city. In small doses, there's little to worry about in terms of safety, which has prompted Ukrainian tour companies to start taking people inside the exclusion zone.
One of the most hard-hitting locations in the city is an amusement park that was set to enjoy its grand opening when the plant's fourth reactor exploded. Supposedly, the park opened early, for just one morning, to distract the public from the horrors being dealt with down the road.
A faded yellow Ferris wheel surrounded by overgrown shrubs and weeds has become symbolic of a hollow city left behind. The bumper cars are parked in such a way you can picture them slowly coming to a stop all those years ago, never to be bumped again.
Pripyat tours are available from Kiev for up to two days, with professional guides and permits included. Send us your Pripyat photos by using the hashtag #Tiqets on Instagram, if you dare to visit!
Say your prayers at the Haunted Vicarage of Borgvattnet, Sweden
You can stay the night at The Vicarage of Borgvattnet , if you like the idea of waking up with crying ghosts at the end of your bed.
Clergymen and women are generally accepted as being trustworthy members of society. This is probably why the ghostly tales surrounding a tiny vicarage in the Swedish countryside are so captivating.
The Vicarage of Borgvattnet and its haunted rooms have long piqued the interest of scare-hunters. Between 1927 and 1945, the telltale signs of ghostly residents terrified a succession of chaplains and their families. Unexplainable moving objects, strange sounds in the night, crying spectral figures sitting at the end of the bed, that sort of thing. One godly resident was even thrown from his rocking chair!
During the summer and autumn months, you can stay the night in Borgvattnet Vicarage. Who needs a spa hotel when you sleep in a haunted house?
Count the skulls at Sedlec Ossuary, Czech Republic
Sedlec Ossuary, no dogs allowed.
It's nicknamed 'Church of Bones', and the kinds of images that have just popped into your mind are exactly what you can expect from Sedlec Ossuary. This 19th-century chapel is adorned with the skeletal bits of 40,000 to 70,000 people. Yes, you read that correctly.
Located in the once-thriving town of Kutná Hora, easily accessible from Prague, the ossuary is situated underneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints. Born out of the necessity to ease the cemetery's overcrowding during medieval times, the organisation of the bones is as mesmerizing as it is macabre. Yours won't be the only jaw on the floor!
Visitors can walk around wide-eyed taking in chandeliers, lamps, candelabras, and walls, all made of bones. The mastermind of the space even signed his name on the walls with… you get the idea. You have to wonder what the good folk of the 1400s would think of their tibias and fibulas being used in such a way.
A day trip to Kutná Hora from Prague is a great way to get out of the capital and explore the Bohemian countryside. We'd recommend a guide for this one, there's almost a thousand years of history attached to the 'Bone Chapel'.
Hunt for the Green Lady at Château de Brissac, France
Château de Brissac has a bloody past. The Green Lady will tell you all about it.
No list of scary places to visit would be complete without a haunted castle. Château de Brissac, a short drive from Angers in France, has the benefit of being both stunningly beautiful and loaded with ghostly intrigue.
You'll find little mention of Charlotte de Brézé's murder on the Château's website. A shady story from the building's long history, the daughter of Charles VII of France was killed by her jealous husband, Jacques de Brézé, in 1477. While her not-so-noble husband escaped with a fine of 200,000 gold crowns, Charlotte spends eternity roaming the halls of the castle, according to legend and reported guest encounters. The Green Lady or la Dame Verte is said to frequent the tower room of the chapel, when she's not floating about the Château's opulent rooms.
You can take a tour of the Château to try to learn more about its gruesome past. For an eye-watering price, you can even stay in one of its grand chambers overnight in the hope of meeting the ghostly lady of the house.
Not got your required dose of the dark and dreadful?
As you would expect, there are endless haunting tales to be heard throughout America's 50 states, if you know where to look. Here are five of the most haunted places in America you can visit next time you're in the US of A.
The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, subsequently the Weston State Hospital, was a Kirkbride psychiatric hospital that was operated from 1864 until 1994 by the government of the U.S. state of West Virginia, in the city of Weston.

County Laois ( /ˈliːʃ/ LEESH-'; Irish: Contae Laoise) is a county in Ireland. It is part of the Midlands Region and is also located in the province of Leinster, and was formerly known as Queen's County. The modern county takes its name from Loígis, a medieval kingdom.
Laois County Council is the local authority for the county. The population of the county is 80,559 according to the 2011 census - 20% higher than it was in the 2006 census which is the highest percentage population growth in the country.

Prehistoric[]
The first people in Laois were bands of hunters and gatherers who passed through the county about 8,500 years ago. They hunted in the forests that covered Laois and fished in its rivers, gathering nuts and berries to supplement their diets.
Next came Ireland's first farmers. These people of the Neolithic period (4000 to 2500 BC) cleared forests and planted crops. Their burial mounds remain in Clonaslee and Cuffsborough.
Starting around 2500 BC, the people of the Bronze Age lived in Laois. They produced weapons, tools and golden objects. Visitors to the county can see a stone circle they left behind at Monamonry, as well as the remains of their hill forts at Clopook and Monelly. Skirk, near Borris-in-Ossory, has a Bronze Age standing stone and ring fort. The body of Cashel Man indicates that ritual killing took place around 2000 BC.
The county name derives from Loígis, of which the modern county is only a part. In the 11th century, its dynastic rulers adopted the surname Ua/Ó Mórdha. They claimed descent from a member of the Red Branch Knights
The next stage is known as the pre-Christian Celtic Iron Age. For the first time iron appeared in Ireland, as factions fought bloody battles for control of the land. At Ballydavis, archaeologists have discovered ring barrows that date from this time period.
By the first century AD, the western half of Laois was part of the Kingdom of Ossory. The eastern half of the county was divided roughly into seven parts, which were ruled by the Seven Septs of Loígis: O'More (O'Moore), O'Lalor, O'Doran, O'Dowling, O'Devoy (O'Deevy), O'Kelly and McEvoy.
Map of Ireland around 900 AD. Laois was part of the Kingdom of Osraige.
Introduction of Christianity[]
When Ireland was Christianized, holy men and women founded religious communities in Loígis. St. Ciarán of Saighir (called "The Elder" to distinguish him from the younger St. Ciarán of Clonmacnoise) founded his monastic habitation in the western Slieve Bloom Mountains as the first bishop of Ossory, reputedly before St. Patrick. His mother Liadán had an early convent nearby at what is now Killyon. Between 550 and 600, St. Canice founded Aghaboe Abbey and St. Mochua founded a religious community at Timahoe. An early Christian community lived at Dun Masc or Masc's fort, on the Rock of Dunamase.
The Synod of Rathbreasail that established the Irish dioceses was held near Mountrath in 1111, moving the Church away from its monastic base. As religious orders with strong ties to Rome replaced older religious communities, the wooden buildings of the early Christian churches in Laois gave way to stone monasteries. The Augustinians and Dominicans established themselves at Aghaboe Abbey, while the Cistercians took over an older religious community at Abbeyleix.
Norman Invasion[]
The Norman invasion of Ireland in 1169-71 affected Laois as it was a part of the Kingdom of Leinster. In Laois, the fortress on the Rock of Dunamase was part of the dowry of the Irish princess Aoife, who was given in marriage in 1170 to the Norman warrior Strongbow. Advancing Normans surveyed the county from wooden towers built on top of earthen mounds, known as mottes. They also built stone fortresses, such as Lea Castle, just outside Portarlington. Several of the county's towns were first established as Norman boroughs, including Castletown, Durrow and Timahoe.
From 1175 until about 1325, Normans controlled the best land in the county, while Gaelic society retreated to the bogs, forests and the Slieve Bloom Mountains. The early 14th century saw a Gaelic revival, as the chieftains of Loígis caused the Normans to withdraw. The Dempseys seized Lea Castle, while Dunamase came into the ownership of the O'Mores. Examples of tower houses built by Irish chieftains are found at Ballaghmore and Cullahill Castle, both decorated with Sheila-na-gigs.
In 1548, English warriors confiscated the lands of the O'Mores, and built "Campa," known as the Fort of Leix, today's Portlaoise.

It was shired in 1556 by Queen Mary as Queen's County, covering the countries of Leix (Loígis), Slewmarge, Irry, and that part of Glimnaliry on the southwest side of the River Barrow.[7] Laois received its present Irish language name following the Irish War of Independence. Laois was also sometimes spelt "Leix". Portlaoise (previously Maryborough) is the county town.
Loígis was the subject of two Plantations or colonisations by English settlers. The first occurred in 1556, when Thomas Radclyffe, 3rd Earl of Sussex dispossessed the O'Moore clan and attempted to replace them with English settlers. However, this only led to a long drawn-out guerrilla war in the county and left a small English community clustered around garrisons. There was a more successful plantation in the county in the 17th century, which expanded the existing English settlement with more landowners and tenants from England. Neither plantation was fully successful due to a lack of tenants and because of continuous raids and attacks by the O'Moores.
In 1659, a group of Quakers settled in Mountmellick, while a group of Huguenots were given refuge in Portarlington in 1666 after their service to William of Orange in the Williamite War in Ireland.
What followed was a period of relative calm. Anglo-Irish landowners enclosed the land and built fine houses, including Durrow Castle, Heywood House and Emo Court. In 1836, a branch of the Grand Canal stretched to Mountmellick, further stimulating industry in that town.
The Great Famine of 1845-49 devastated the county. The county's workhouses could not cope with the number of destitute people seeking shelter. By the time the workhouse opened at Donaghmore in 1853, many of the poorest had emigrated or died.
The county was formerly known as Queen's County (Irish: Contae na Banríona) until its name was informally changed on establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. The county's name was formerly spelt as Laoighis and Leix. Despite the county's name being upheld as Laois through the 2001 Local Government Act, no legislation was ever enacted after independence explicitly changing the name from Queen's County, the name formally established under the 1898 Local Government Act which continued to have legal effect. When land is sold in the county the relevant title deeds are still updated as being in Queen's County.
Geography and political subdivisions[]
Laois is the 23rd largest of Ireland's 32 counties in area and also 23rd largest in terms of population.[8] It is the seventh largest of Leinster's 12 counties in size and tenth largest in terms of population. The county is landlocked and, uniquely, does not border any other county which touches the coast. It is therefore considered to be "the most landlocked county in Ireland.",[9] although County Roscommon is the geographical centre of Ireland.
Baronies[]
There are nine baronies in the county:
Ballyadams
Cullinagh
Maryborough East
Maryborough West

For climatological information please visit: http://www.durrow.ie/visitors-guide/weather/ for averages and extremes.
The weather station at east Durrow was set up in May 2008. The equipment used is a Davis Vantage Pro II that measures temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall and barometric pressure. This data is transmitted every 2 seconds to a website where the data can be freely accessed. The station also reports to the Irish Weather Network which displays live weather data from similar stations all around Ireland.
In addition, a Met Éireann climatological station (Number: 472) was installed in September 2010 and the data collected is sent to headquarters in Glasnevin, Dublin on a monthly basis. The climatological station measures rainfall in a manual gauge, soil temperatures at 5 cm, 10 cm and 20 cm depths, air temperature including wet-bulb, daily maximum and daily minimum temperatures. The climatological station is a project that is envisaged to last thirty years and collect a climate profile for Durrow and Laois in general.
Local government[]
Main article: Laois County Council
Local matters are dealt with by Laois County Council which elects 25 members. For the purpose of elections it is divided into five local electoral: Borris-in-Ossory (6), Emo (4), Lugacurran (4), Mountmellick (4) and Portlaoise (7). Laois historically supported Fianna Fáil party in Irish elections. However in the last local & general elections there was a sharp swing to Fine Gael & Sinn Féin. Due to major local government reform implemented by Minister Phil Hogan town councils in Mountmellick and Portlaoise are now abolished. Also there are now 19 seats in the new Laois council with 3 electoral areas: Portlaoise - Abbeyleix (7 seats), Borris-in-Ossory - Mountmellick (6 seats) and Portarlington - Graigecullen (6 seats). The results in the 2014 local election were 7 Fianna Fail, 6 Fine Gael, 2 Sinn Fein, 1 Labour and 3 Independants. Labour's success in Portlaoise is notable as it was their first victory in the town for 50 years. Laois is in the new three seat Laois constituency for elections to Dáil Éireann.

The population of County Laois is expanding rapidly, given its easy commute to the employment centres of Kildare and Dublin, and affordable housing in pleasant surroundings. Laois's population growth during the period 2002-2006 (14%) has been stronger than the National average (8.2%),[11] as follows:[12]
2002 ... 58,774
2006 ... 67,012 ... +14.01%
Over 1500 people work in the industrial sector in the county. Industrial parks are located in Portlaoise, Portarlington and Mountmellick. The county receives EU funding as it is part of the cluster of three regions (Border, Midland and West), colloquially known as "BMW", that qualifies for special funding aid.
Agricultural activities occupy approximately 70% of the land area of the county (1,200 km2 or 460 sq mi). However agriculture's share of income in the "BMW" region has declined sharply in the past decade, and represented only approximately 3.9% of annual income (GVA) in 2005 Central Statistics Office. There are over 230,000 cattle in the county - three for every person. The remaining area includes considerable stretches of raised bog and the Slieve Bloom mountains, which are partially covered by coniferous forest.
Railways[]
Iarnród Éireann train services along the Dublin-Cork line connects the county between Heuston station and Cork, Limerick, travel through the county, with railway stations at Portarlington, Portlaoise and Ballybrophy. From Portarlington trains run on the Dublin-Galway/Westport/Ballina line to Athlone as well as Galway, Westport and Ballina. From Ballybrophy trains run on the Ballybrophy line to Nenagh and Limerick direct.
Road Transport[]
The M7 road runs through County Laois. This is one of the busiest roadways in Ireland connecting Dublin and Limerick and acts as a trunk route for the M8 which connects Cork to Dublin. The M8 joins the M7 to the south of Portlaoise. Road infrastructure has improved greatly in the county over the past decade. Most major interurban routes through Laois have now been upgraded to motorway standard. All major traffic bottlenecks in Laois such as Abbeyleix and Mountrath have been bypassed following the opening of the M7/M8 tolled motorway project in May 2010. Both towns were major intercity bottlenecks for motorists especially Abbeyleix where delays of up to 30 minutes or more were common.
Bus Éireann provides regular intercity bus services in the county. The Dublin to Limerick service runs every hour through towns and villages on the old N7 road (now R445) while the Dublin to Cork inter city bus service runs every two hours through towns in the county.

Q: Android int to Int[] SimpleArc Loader (Color) I'm using this library but now i need to change color:
https://github.com/generic-leo/SimpleArcLoader
But it say:

Error:(120, 33) error: incompatible types: int cannot be converted to int[]

How to convert Color int in int[]?

A: R.color.colorPrimary is a resource id not a color or int array, you should give it an array of RGB/ARGB colors
configuration.setColors(new int[] {ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.colorPrimary)});

A: Create an Array of color
int [] colors = new int[]{R.color.colorPrimary};

Then set it to configuration.setColors(); method like this
configuration.setColors(colors);

or just use like this
configuration.setColors(new int[]{R.color.colorPrimary, R.color.colorPrimaryDark, R.color.colorAccent});

I am delighted to be here amidst you to talk about an issue of major significance to our times as well as the future, that we wish to bequeath to our children.
Our combined efforts at combating climate change have formed a key parameter with which successes or otherwise of multilateral cooperation have been assessed.
With this realisation and in the spirit of cooperation, international community came together and brought the United Nations Framework Convention Climate Change, its Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement into existence.
Similarly, our comity agreed to some important landmark developments like the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction among others.
These challenges are global in nature, and can be tackled only through global cooperation.
India is committed to contributing effectively to the efforts at forging common and united action. We are also conscious of the expectations the world has from India and are striving to accomplish the objectives set out in major global agreements.
The schemes and projects of the government to address the development needs of our people balance the three pillars of sustainable development – economic growth, social development, and environmental preservation. Pursuing an environmentally-sustainable path of development has been, if I may say, a natural choice for us.
We have set ourselves a target of generating 175 Giga Watts of solar and wind energy by 2022. We have undertaken Mission mode action to provide electricity to every household and cleaner sources of cooking fuel to poor women.
We have installed over three hundred million LED bulbs across India. We would have not only reduced the emission intensity of our GDP by 25 percent over 2005 levels by 2020, but are also committed to further reduce it by 33 to 35 percent over 2005 levels by 2030 as part of our Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
Today, India is the sixth largest producer of renewable energy, and the fifth largest producer of solar energy in the world. The International Solar Alliance, which we launched with France, has brought us a step closer to provide cheap and affordable energy to all. The inaugural Summit of International Solar Alliance that was hosted by India earlier this year has imparted the necessary momentum to the process.
I am extremely happy to note that the EU is closely working with India in our fight against Climate Change.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) which has opened its South Asia Regional Office in New Delhi had announced projects worth €1.4 billion in India. Most of these development projects are aimed at improving the lives of one people.
EIB is also working closely with the International Solar Alliance Secretariat and has committed to undertake solar projects in ISA member countries. EIB and the EU Delegation in India are also working on a paper on off-shore wind energy. I am hopeful that these initiatives will have a far-reaching impact.
Earlier this month, we also hosted the World Environment Day celebrations under the theme 'Beat Plastic Pollution'. It generated tremendous interest and participation among the people of India from all walks of life who also committed themselves to move away from 'single-use' plastic.
Major businesses houses in India made environmental pledges to reduce plastic usage in various stages of their business processes. There is ongoing action to reduce, reuse, and recycle plastic.
Climate change poses significant development challenges, especially for developing countries. It can pose a threat to the food and water availability in developing countries, on their nutritional needs, livelihoods, health and well being, and energy security.
The response to these challenges must therefore be in terms of solutions that factor in developmental requirements.
Global partnerships and collective actions, with a genuine will to pursue sustainable lifestyles, remain critical for this purpose. There is no doubt that all countries are working towards fulfilling their commitments under these multilateral frameworks.
However, we must bear in mind that the capacity of developing countries to translate their political commitments into tangible initiatives and projects gets constrained by lack of predictable, sustained and adequate finances and technologies.
The scale of resources required for the ambitious and effective achievement of the Paris Agreement or the 2030 Agenda is enormous. The need for global partnerships, in this regard, is recognised in these processes and is at the core of all solutions offered therein.
If these major documents are not implemented to reflect equity and principle of Common But Differentiated Responsibility, or fall short of the targets because the developing countries did not receive the requisite support, it would be a setback to all the effort put in by countries in a spirit of togetherness.
I may add here that the schedule for phasing out of HFCs under the Montreal Protocol could be achieved as it was accompanied with a robust financial package to help developing countries make the transition to cleaner technologies.
The world needs a similar roadmap for finance and technology if we have to achieve the goals set out in the Convention and its Paris Agreement. In its absence, developing countries will face serious constraints in achieving their existing NDCs. Any expectations of them to enhance their ambitions should be matched with enhanced support.
Our commitment to combat climate change is rooted in our ethos, which considers the Earth as Mother. A majority of India's a billion plus population is dependent on Mother Earth and its rivers, seas, land, and forests for all things required for sustenance including food, water, jobs, health, and energy.
We are also optimistic people, who believe in humanity's ability to tide over seemingly insurmountable problems. We will continue to work with all stakeholders for our common well-being.
A few decades ago, renowned cosmologist and author, Carl Sagan, said that he was living in "an extraordinary age" of "stunning changes." I believe that all of us continue to be in the age of extraordinary changes that not only explores newer opportunities but also finds lasting solutions for this generation and beyond.

Ventilatory and hemodynamic effects of continuous positive airway pressure in left heart failure
Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 1997 Feb;155(2):500-5. doi: 10.1164/ajrccm.155.2.9032185.

The ventilatory and hemodynamic effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) delivered via a face mask (at 0, 5, and 10 cm H2O, and after a return to 0 cm H2O) were studied in nine patients with acute left heart failure (pulmonary artery occlusion pressure [PAOP] > or = 18 mm Hg, and cardiac index [CI] < or = 2.8 L/min/m2). CPAP at 10 cm H2O induced an improvement in lung compliance (60 +/- 10 ml/cm H2O to 87 +/- 20 ml/cm H2O, p < 0.05) and in lung and airway resistance (5.7 +/- 1.0 cm H2O/L/s to 3.4 +/- 1.0 cm H2O/L/s, p < 0.05), a reduction in work of breathing (18 +/- 3 J/min to 12 +/- 2 J/min, p < 0.05), and in the pressure-time index of the respiratory muscles (279 +/- 22 cm H2O/s/min to 174 +/- 25 cm H2O/s/min, p < 0.05), without significant changes in breathing pattern. Despite a significant reduction in the negative swings in intrathoracic pressure (15.2 +/- 1.9 cm H2O to 10.8 +/- 1.8 cm H2O, p < 0.001), no significant change was observed in CI or stroke volume during CPAP. However, mean transmural filling pressures decreased significantly with CPAP, suggesting a better cardiac performance. Neither the level of stroke volume nor of PAOP, was predictive of changes in CI or in stroke volume. In patients with respiratory insufficiency caused by congestive heart failure (CHF), CPAP reduces respiratory muscle effort without altering cardiac output. The slight decrease in mean transmural left and right atrial pressures suggests an improvement in cardiac performance.

In Everett, Washington there sits a massive building measuring 13 million cubic metres. It is nearly twice as big as the second largest building, the Target Import Warehouse in Lacey, Washington and over 3.5 times bigger than the NASA Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center.
It is the Boeing Everett Factory.
On a normal day there are 30,000 people at work, dozens of cafes, a water treatment plant, a day care, a credit union, and more.
The factory has over 1,000,000 light bulbs.
3.75 kilometres of pedestrian tunnels under the factory and over 1,300 bicycles.
The factory is so massive that when it was first build, there were actually clouds visible near the ceiling. This was caused by warm, moist air.
As a result Boeing has an air circulation system that keeps the indoor rain-clouds away.

From: The Georgia Straight, Interview with Jodie Foster by Dan McLeod, July 10-17, 1997; page 43.
Q. Where does Jodie Foster stand in the debate between science and faith?
A. I absolutely believe what Ellie believes - that there is no direct evidence, so how could you ask me to believe in God when there's absolutely no evidence that I can see? I do believe in the beauty and the awe-inspiring mystery of the science that's out there that we haven't discovered yet, that there are scientific explanations for phenomena that we call mystical because we don't know any better.
On the July 7, 1997 airing of Good Morning America Foster was interviewed by co-anchor Charles Gibson about her then-upcoming movie Contact. The topic turned to the religious impacts of the movie and then to her religious beliefs.
At one point, she explained the "god of the gaps" concept, and that the "gaps" are continually getting tighter and tighter, and that we're running out of room for god as an explanation for the mystical. Gibson asked "Do you believe in god -- I've never asked anyone this before -- ?" Foster skirted the issue just a bit, refering to "fables" and "holy texts", insinuating a lack of credibility of them in her view. She also described her beliefs as similar to those of her character in the movie and that she can certainly never have proof of god's existence or non-existence.
On an HBO special report interviewing the characters of the movie Contact Matthew McConaughey said he did believe in god just as his character did in the movie, however Jodie Foster said she did not believe in god and had no religion. She stated that science comes closest to finding the truth.
Jodie Foster is on the cover of this week's Entertainment Weekly, September 7, 2007. In both the written version (page 41) and the online version of EW, Jodie says the following:
"Are you religious?
No, I'm an atheist. But I absolutely love religions and the rituals. Even though I don't believe in God. We celebrate pretty much every religion in our family with the kids. They love it, and when they say, Are we Jewish? or Are we Catholic? I say, Well, I'm not, but you can choose when you're 18. But isn't this fun that we do seders and the Advent calendar?"

Improvements are necessary when owning your own house. You put forth a great deal of love and effort to make it a wonderful place for your family and someplace you can call home. While there are many important details to sift through and make, one large task to take on is a dependable roof.
It is one of the first features people see when they drive past or pull up to in the driveway. Aesthetics are significant components, however safety, the right paperwork, and efficiency are also key. Leaks and broken tiles are much more than annoyances.
They can cause bigger problems in the future. To avoid such a headache, you should contact a professional such as a roofing company in Orwell, OH where as you can choose between a variety of different products that suit your home's needs. Included in the right look for your home, there are other factors to think about. Here are three things to keep in mind to help make the process go a little smoother.
Shopping around for good prices on a quality roof is an important issue to contemplate. There are some questions you need to ask yourself about your current roof before getting started. Are you looking for just a patch job? Will you be ripping off the current one entirely or adding the new roof on top of the old one? Which roofing material is best for you?
You need to ask about how much the company charges per roofing square or 10×10 feet (100 square feet). Prices will range depending on the location, such as the state you live in and the material used and the style of your home. If you live in the southern part of the United States, materials can be $2.50 to about $3.00 per square foot. You can be looking in the range of five to about fourteen thousand as a cost for your project. Other considerations are if you want or have a decorative roof (stiles, dormers, sloping, skylights).
For example, a patch job is a significantly cheaper option, and as long as you do not have a lot of damage to the structure, this may be a good avenue to go. Placing an entire roof on the existing one is more expensive than a patch, but can be a good step to save money if your roof is in fair condition. Replacing the roof in its entirety would be the most expensive. However, talk to your roofer in choosing a more cost efficient material with an extended life warranty.
Do not be afraid to ask about the warranty of not just the roofing products (nails, sheeting), but the life of the shingles you choose. Inquire if there are reimbursements for any damage or defects. There are a number of warranties that have a time frame for certain roofing materials.
Don't forget about coverage for wind damage, which will include the miles-per-hour that the shingles can withstand. Make sure to read the fine print thoroughly in case there is a problem in the future. A contract keeps you and the company you work for protected for any liability if so going forward.
Once you are comfortable with it, sign and keep a copy of the paperwork. Proper building codes and additional paperwork should be obtained and kept close. Depending on your location, you may not need to put any permit visible for repairs, or even the replacement of your roof. Always ask in any case!
Cleaning up a work site may be something that is just assumed is included. However, it is always good to double check what the procedures are. The materials being used can be hazardous and may need to be disposed in a specific way. If chemicals are being used, ask if the smell is dangerous or if you need to wear any type of mask while the company is working.
Another issue that may be overseen is that when a roof is being replaced, or even patched, the materials would have nails in them. Those nails could fall and end up all over the yard. Ask the roofing company to use their large magnets to pick up an metal pieces and the thousands of nails that could be hiding in the grass. No one wants to injure themselves on an old nail or find a few sticking out of their car tire.
Mold Alert – What Should I Do if Mold is in My House?
You have spent a great deal of time and money fixing or replacing the roof of your house. A great benefit of doing this will add some curb appeal and will raise the property value of your house (and help out the neighbors, too). If you find after your roof renovation you need to bring in some extra income, you can always take on a renter to help ease some of the financial burden.
You can get a tenant screening report free if you decide to become a landlord and move into smaller property to rent out your old home. Making sure you have all the necessary tools to start this new chapter in your life doesn't have to be daunting. It can be an adventure to watch all your hard work turn into a new home for a family to make memories in. By choosing to be a landlord, you can pay off the roof you added in in no time.

Jan 21, 2015 Federal Appellate Jurisdiction—Finality Of Order Dismissing One Among Many Consolidated Cases
Gelboim v. Bank of America Corp., No. 13-1174 (described in the June 30, 2014, Docket Report)
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, the federal courts of appeals have jurisdiction over "final decisions of the district courts." Today, the Supreme Court unanimously held that complaints that have been consolidated for purposes of multidistrict litigation ("MDL") pretrial proceedings "retain[] [their] independent status for purposes of appellate jurisdiction under § 1291." Thus, plaintiffs may appeal "when the District Court dismisse[s] their case, not upon eventual completion of multidistrict proceedings in all of the consolidated cases."
The Supreme Court's decision arose from more than 60 lawsuits alleging that financial institutions had manipulated the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), which provides a benchmark for short-term interest rates. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the LIBOR-related litigation to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for consolidated pretrial proceedings. One of those lawsuits was Gelboim, a putative class action alleging violations of the federal antitrust laws. Other lawsuits in the MDL proceeding asserted similar antitrust claims, as well as claims under other federal and state laws.
The district court subsequently dismissed the antitrust claims in all the MDL proceedings—and those were the only claims asserted in Gelboim—but concluded that various other claims raised in the other consolidated actions could proceed to discovery.
The Gelboim plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of their action. The Second Circuit dismissed the appeal, however, because the district court had not dismissed all the claims in all the consolidated actions. The Supreme Court unanimously reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
In an opinion by Justice Ginsburg, the Court unanimously held that "[c]ases consolidated for MDL pretrial proceedings ordinarily retain their separate identities, so an order disposing of one of the discrete cases in its entirety should qualify under § 1291 as an appealable final decision." The Court made clear, however, that its holding was limited to the procedural posture of the case. Although the various actions had been transferred to the MDL court for pretrial proceedings, the actions had not been consolidated for all purposes, including trial, as sometimes occurs when the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transfers related lawsuits to a single court. The Supreme Court stated: "We express no opinion on whether an order deciding one of multiple cases combined in an all-purpose consolidation qualifies under § 1291 as a final decision appealable of right."
The decision in Gelboim is of significant interest to businesses that are or may be involved in MDL litigation in federal court because the Supreme Court's decision will determine whether appeals in those actions must await the final resolution of all the consolidated cases.
Any questions about the case should be directed to Archis A. Parasharami (+1 202 263 3328) or Kevin Ranlett (+1 202 263 3217) in our Washington office.

Carlyle 'won't criticize the players,' even though he's tempted to 'go after some people'
By Jason BroughJan 7, 2015, 3:44 PM EST
Randy Carlyle didn't name names in his first interview since being fired as coach of the Maple Leafs, but he did have some interesting things to say in a chat with the Toronto Star.
On whether the Leafs are coachable: "Some of them can do it and some of them are just not capable of grasping it. Some have a difficult time dealing with the pressure that comes at the critical times. If there's one thing you cannot do with this group, it seems you cannot apply more pressure to them. You've got to try to pick them up. It's always about making them feel good."
On why that may be: "The modern-day athletes has come from a different background of coaching — the elite programs, Triple-A, the Under-18s — it's always about Johnny gets a trophy."
On the temptation to name names: "I've got a lot of fire burning in me to go after some people. But I won't criticize the players. I'll never do that. The things that happened in the dressing room are between the team and me. I don't think it should be exposed."
There's more in there, so give it a read.
The Leafs announced earlier today that Peter Horachek has been named the club's interim head coach.

All Movies Are Space Jam: A New Legacy
Cinema was already dead, sweetie
Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Olivia Craighead
The reviews are in! Space Jam: A New Legacy is no Casablanca — although LeBron James does end up in the world of Casablanca. Professional film critics are lukewarm on the sequel to the Michael Jordan classic, which also serves as a blatant attempt to create an interconnected universe of Warner Bros. IP.
Just quickly here, the plot of the movie is that Academy Award winner Don Cheadle (playing a vengeful algorithm named Al G. Rhythm) has come up with a SeinfeldVision-esque plan to insert Lebron James into different Warner Bros. properties. When James calls that "among the worst ideas I've ever heard," Cheadle kidnaps James' son and forces James to make his way through different Warner Bros. properties to assemble a basketball team that will defeat Cheadle's.
Over at The Washington Post, Kristen Page-Kirby says the film "rises above mediocrity often enough to keep adult audiences engaged, and kids from squirming." Vulture's Bilge Ebiri says, "It fills a two-hour hole in the schedule, which will keep parents happy, and it brandishes the brand, which will keep shareholders happy." Glenn Kenny for The New York Times says that "there's a nearly astute satire of the app-driven life bubbling under the meta high jinks." (Manohla Dargis is suspiciously silent.)
However, on the cinephile social network Letterboxd, you would have thought someone blew up Isabelle Huppert's chateau. This is the death of film, apparently. "A revolting regurgitation of beloved franchises with their hearts ripped out and stomped on by a self-obsessed studio and star sucking each other off," one user wrote in their half-star review. "Too drunk to write anything movies are dead if you like this you are a BAD PERSON," wrote another user, also giving the movie half a star.
The film currently has a 31% rating on Rotten Tomatoes — with an 88% audience score, the people like it! — and a 2.1 average rating on Letterboxd. Comparatively, Black Widow, the latest entry in Marvel's cinematic universe, is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes at 81% with an average of 3.5 stars on Letterboxd.
It seems that Warner Bros.' misstep was not creating a new chapter in the Space Jam universe per se, but rather that they did not spend the 25 years between the first movie and the second one laying the groundwork for all of its intellectual property to come together in one big, overly long movie where people go back through their own movies and one of the main characters martyrs himself at the end.
In order for an IP play of this magnitude to work, the audience has to be entirely brainwashed into thinking that any of it matters. Marvel has successfully pulled this off by making it so that if you haven't seen the preceding decade-plus of movies, you will not understand what's going on. Space Jam: A New Legacy's problem is not that it's stupid, it's that it relies entirely on you going "I know that character" instead of "I've been watching all of these people interact for years and am in too deep to acknowledge that this is actually kind of stupid."
None of this actually matters though, as the movie dethroned Black Widow at the box office this weekend and earned the most money of any Warner Bros. movie during the pandemic. We'll probably be back in the Space Jam universe in a few years, with James and the Looney Tunes using the time turner from Harry Potter to go back in time and convince Kevin Feige to go into finance.

DIAMONDS DO GOOD BRACELET
Tanzania Red Ribbon Fashion Gala - 2012
World AIDS Day has been observed on the 1st of December every year since 2007 and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV/AIDS and remember that there are still many challenges we have to face in the fight to achieve an HIV free world but also realize that these challenges can be overcome.
Each year the Tanzania Mitindo House (TMH), in collaboration with the Flaviana Matata Foundation (FMF), organizes an annual charity fashion Gala dubbed "Tanzania Red Ribbon Fashion Gala" through its 'Tanzanian Designs for Life' campaign focusing mainly on HIV/AIDS infected orphans. Model Flaviana Matata, the founder of the Flaviana Matata Foundation is the Good Will Ambassador for TMH. Through their brilliant hard work and the support of various corporate sponsors, private companies and individuals they have been able to establish an orphanage that has become a home to 10 orphaned kids living with the HI-Virus; and a training center that focuses on teaching different fashion and design skills to orphaned teenagers from different orphanages in Dar Es Salaam.
Taking care of children living with the HIV/AIDS and seeing how their lives are transformed daily for the better is great reminder to us all about the reality of HIV but also that one may still live a full life even after infection. HIV/AIDS is preventable and each and every one of us has a part to play in ensuring an HIV free generation. Since its inception in 2007, World AIDS day has become a very significant date for the Tanzania Mitindo House; on this day we renew our pledge to get the Fashion Industry to support the fight against HIV and AIDS. Flaviana Matata, the Good Will Ambassador for TMH; has been working with the orphanage for quite some time. Her foundation, the Flaviana Matata Foundation has been working in collaboration with the TMH on the "Red Ribbon Gala" events.
This year TMH celebrates its 5th anniversary, in which time TMH with the help of the Flaviana Matata Foundation has been able to:
Establish a home housing 10 HIV infected children in Magomeni.
Build a play center in Kigamboni for orphaned children.
Purchased a van for the home.
Open an office for TMH and a training Center for teenage orphans in the Msasani Area.
Tanzania Mitindo House and Flaviana Matata Foundation would like to thank all the supporters, corporate sponsors, private companies and individuals that have and continue to support us, our special thanks go out to our local sponsors REDD'S, BELVEDERE RED VODKA, MOROGORO POLYTEX, AZANIA BANK LTD, I-VIEW MEDIA, CFAO MOTORS and ERNST&YOUNG. Also, International Supporters for three years now, Mr Russell Simmons and Sherri Hill. The items donated by Russell Simmons raised 11 Million Tanzanian Shillings. New York designer Sherri Hill Dresses were auctioned and raised a total amount of 8.5 Million Tanzanian Shillings. A total amount of 72 Million shillings was raised through the Fifth Annual Tanzania Red Ribbon Fashion Gala 2012.

Well it's not every day that you take photos inside the back of a VW, but hey, if you get the chance to, why not? 😉 If you are in Utah and looking for a fun place to take photos, you should look into StudioBox Photo Co. They've got an awesome shipping container turned into photography studio (it's outdoors) and this van you can take photos with! So I put on my knit sweater, scarf, fur jacket, jeans and my fave ever colorblock boots and here we are.
This relaxed knit sweater is from La La Lovely Boutique, an online boutique that seriously has some trendy items, the cutest boots, and stocks new arrivals often! It's based in Utah and I actually met the owner at Pinner's Conference a few months ago, and she is a gem. I just love supporting small and local shops, but it's great that she sells online so anyone can buy from her too! I thought the small burgundy detail in the boot and scarf, was perfect to go with the sweater! The knit sweater could also be cute layered over a dress with some tights and boots for a more dressed up look too.

The technical department of Outdoor Solutions has designed, made and installed the first national sunshade covering an area of 81 m². The Adonis model arose from a customised project in the Hotel Paraíso de Alcudía, Palma de Mallorca. On this occasion, a fully automated sunshade was built with an electronic motor for opening and closing it by radio and fully equipped with lighting, heating and an audio kit.
Adonis is anchored to the ground with a concrete base and a fully customisable structure according to the sunshade's total size. This sunshade can cover areas of 9 x 9 m and larger sizes can also be created for special projects.
Equipped with built-in LED technology, Adonis transmits a different appearance to other sunshades. The fact that its rods are illuminated gives it added value while attracting those from outside and making those next to the sunshade comfortable thanks to its quality and its agreeable lighting (the strength of which can be adjusted easily with a remote control).
Its accessories include LED lighting on the rods for creating various ambients as well as adding a built-in audio kit and HVAC with infra-red heaters.
Adonis is the ideal sunshade for covering large outdoor areas and for providing a covered area with greater performance. In the last year, the IASO technical department has installed two Adonis sunshades, in Ordino, Principality of Andorra, measuring 8 x 8 m and the last in Palma de Mallorca, measuring 9 x 9 m. Without doubt these projects mean progress for IASO, whose objective is always to seek innovation in the market.

There is so much hype online about Pinterest.com. It is currently the fastest growing social network online and it's clever layout and image rich view makes it fun and easy to use allowing it's users the ability to share their interested or shall we say "Pinterests" using images. Let's see how it can be used a tool for driving traffic to your website.
As I sat through the show The Voice last nigh I was noticing the huge resemblance of Christina Aguilera to Snooki from Jersey Shore. I did a few Google searches to see if this has been noticed and found allot of articles and a few looks like photos. I decided to make my own looks like photo as you can see below which is almost identical.
I want to use this photo as a Pinterest test to see if it will drive traffic back to my website. My thought process behind this, is that this photo may be shared and re-pinned more than most content I would have to contribute to my business and since I tried to spin it in a way of Marketing Research, I can use the data to create more engaging content.

There are many people today who live double lives.
Some live one life and then show a different life online. Selfies are taken with friends full of smiles. Accomplishments are bragged about frequently. Even sharing funny videos communicates a continual sense of humor.
But many of these online profiles don't reflect reality. The cameras are put away when the smiles disappear. Posting is silent if failure or embarrassment occurs. Even if thoughts are posted, they reflect what they want people to think rather than what is really going on in real life.
Go to many churches and you will also find people leading double lives. Weaknesses, difficulties and failures in real life are hidden from others. They do it out of fear of not being accepted and being excluded from friendships and service.
We all have areas of weakness. Admitting and working through our weaknesses is a necessary condition to minister to others effectively.
You make yourself vulnerable when letting others know about your weaknesses. You are taking a risk. But strong leaders know the value of doing this. They put the needs of others above themselves.
When you stop living a lie and become authentic, people respond. People are helped.
I don't believe the members that come together in a small group is ever an accident. I have observed many times when someone admits to a weakness, others immediately open up in the group who have struggled or are struggling with that same weakness. Then trust and support between members gets stronger. The result of these connections is life-changing.
Do you now understand the power of weakness and how important it is for your small group?
Group members look to the group leader to be an example. Group leaders who get authentic first will encourage the rest of the group members to do the same.
One way I have experienced this in a small group is to have each member share their life story, usually one at each meeting. If the group leader goes first and shares both the good and the bad, others will use that example to tell their story at future gatherings. This is also a relatively quick way to learn about each other and build trust.
I agree with you, that the strong admit weakness. Admitting weakness and being authentic makes for a great leader as well as for a greater person.
When deciding on the type of small group to have, I guess one would center it around a certain topic with group members having a common goal.
I'm glad you stopped by my site and left a comment because it led me to your site. 🙂 Your information is definitely of interest to me.
Thanks Evelyn. I look forward to sharing ideas over time with you.


A Commons inquiry was announced today after it was revealed that young women rescued from forced marriages abroad are being charged hundreds of pounds by the Foreign Office for their safe return to the UK.
Some women had their passports taken away and only returned when they paid off an emergency loan to cover flights and accommodation.
Mr Hunt said he had asked officials for "proper advice" on the situation. He told Radio 4's Today programme: "We should always behave with compassion and humanity in every situation but I want to get to the bottom of this particular issue before I give you a firm answer." Experts said it was unlikely the Government would bring in a blanket exemption for victims of forced marriages, as it would be "difficult to draw a line" over other crime victims who seek help to get home. But embassies might be asked to return passports to people who need them to work and scrap a 10 per cent late repayments fee.
