In addition to the popularity of the Barbie dolls, the Barbie doll house playsets are up there at the top of the wish list for little girls as well.
Mattel and the Barbie brand of toys, particularly their dolls have been phenomenally successful. Perhaps because Mattel understands exactly what little girls are looking for in a playmate.
So here comes Barbie Hello Dreamhouse–the very latest release from the line. Barbie is moving on up into the high tech world with a dream house equipped with Wi-Fi-enabled speech recognition that responds to more than one speech command, allowing you to interact with the doll house.
For example, you can instruct the dreamhouse to bring the elevator down if you're downstairs and want the elevator.
There's an app that allows you to customize the sounds in each play area. Better still, you can record your own sounds for different locations in the dreamhouse.
There are six rooms in Barbie's new dream house. And just what would Barbie do without an elevator? So of course there's an elevator in the Hello Dreamhouse.
Still, you can change the stairs into a slide just by telling the house what to do. Every little girl will be tickled with that feature.
There are 13 switches throughout the house that allows you to bring each room to life with a simple click. There are embedded floor switches in every room of the house that activates whenever a doll enters the room.
So although the Barbie Rainbow Cove Princess Castle Playset is one of the hottest new toys for kids this year every Barbie toy lover knows there's always another Barbie dreamhouse not far away. And Mattel never disappoints their little girls.
After all, what little girl doesn't like playing with dolls? Not many. So Mattel and the Barbie brand of toys, particularly the Barbie dolls have been phenomenally successful. Perhaps because Mattel understands exactly what little girls are looking for in a playmate.

Basildon Council leader calls for faster action as government consults on 'Irish Option' for a second time
08/11/2019 08/11/2019 Mick Ferris Basildon Council, Callaghan, encampments, Irish Option, news, Travellers
The leader of Basildon Council has called for faster action after a second consultation was launched on measures to criminalise trespassing in relation to unauthorised encampments in England and Wales.
The consultation, which opened on November 5 and closes on March 4, 2020, refers to measures often referred to as 'The Irish Option', as it takes a lead from legislation in the Republic of Ireland.
Leader of Basildon Council, Councillor Gavin Callaghan, said: "We responded to the last consultation and we will of course respond again. This is an issue that has a massive impact on our borough. Unauthorised encampments weigh heavily on the public purse and cause a lot of stress and inconvenience to our residents.
"I am disappointed that we are having to do this again and that more progress hasn't been made but acknowledge that this further round of consultation is still a step in the right direction. However, this has been pushed into the long grass.
"Basildon needs action, not more inaction. While we are working effectively with the police and our partners, we still don't have all the powers we need to deal with unauthorised encampments as robustly and quickly as we would like and welcome a change in the law that could improve the lives of our residents."
The government is also consulting on an alternative approaches including:
amending section 62A of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 to permit the police to direct trespassers to suitable authorised sites located in neighbouring local authority areas
amending sections 61 and 62A of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 to increase the period of time in which trespassers directed from land would be unable to return from 3 months to 12 months
amending section 61 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 to lower the number of vehicles needing to be involved in an unauthorised encampment before police powers can be exercised from six to two or more vehicles
amending section 61 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 to enable the police to remove trespassers from land that forms part of the highway.

10 Most Popular Fast Foods That British People Love
05:13 fast food, fast foods, most popular fast foods, take away, UK fast foods, unhealthy food, worst takeaways
One of the most fastest growing trends in UK culture is that of fast foods. Although more Brits are healthier than ever, the ordering of takeaways is still on the rise. The accessibility to such foods is easier than ever, with delivery services like Deliveroo making it easier than ever to get fast food delivered to your home in just a matter of minutes.
No matter who you are, when the hunger strikes, you have your preferences and your "go to" options. You may have your local takeaways, or you may prefer to actually walk into your favourite fast food restaurant - either way, fast food isn't healthy, but it's kind of addictive.
Here, in no particular order, we've taken the ten most popular fast foods that the British people love most. Take a look below and see where your favourite ranks.
KFC, also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, is an American fast food restaurant chain that specialises in fried chicken. It is the world's second-largest restaurant chain after McDonald's, with 22,621 locations globally in 136 countries as of December 2018. It is still the most popular chicken fast food place in the UK.
McDonald's is the world's largest restaurant chain by revenue, serving over 69 million customers daily in over 100 countries. It is still, by far, the most popular fast food chain in the United Kingdom. McDonald's hold the most appeal because of its consistency, longevity, and its affordable meals.
Domino's Pizza, Inc., branded as Domino's, is an American multinational pizza restaurant chain founded in 1960. It recently overtook Pizza Hut as the nation's favourite pizza joint. Much of that was how Domino's revolutionised the easy online ordering and fast delivery.
Greggs plc is the largest bakery chain in the United Kingdom. It specialises in savoury products such as bakes, sausage rolls and sandwiches and sweet items including doughnuts and vanilla slices. This British chain is the most popular food of choice for lunchtime revellers.
Papa Johns is an American pizza restaurant franchise. It runs the fourth largest pizza delivery restaurant chain in the United States, and is the fastest growing pizza chain in the United Kingdom, behind only Domino's and Pizza Hut in the popularity stakes.
Subway is an American privately-held restaurant franchise that primarily sells submarine sandwiches and salads. It is one of the fastest-growing franchises in the world and, as of October 2019, had 41,512 locations in more than 100 countries. More than half its locations are in the United States, but the chain has seen huge growth and popularity in the UK over recent years.
Pizza Hut is an American restaurant chain and international franchise which was founded in 1958. The company is known for its Italian-American cuisine menu, including pizza and pasta, as well as side dishes and desserts. Pizza Hut is one of the 'big three' pizza chains in the United Kingdom, and a regular go-to place for pizza loving Brits.
Five Guys is a fast-food chain with made-to-order burgers, fries & hot dogs, plus free peanuts while you wait. It is the newest chain on this list, and relative new to the UK. Although quite expensive for a fast food chain, Five Guys is growing in popularity, and is set to become one of the top fast food outlets in the next few years.
Nando's is a South African restaurant chain, specialising in Portuguese food such as peri-peri style chicken dishes. Founded in Johannesburg in 1987, Nando's operates over 1,000 outlets in 35 countries. Nando's restaurants are hugely popular in the UK, as they offer a tasty and slightly healthier fast food option.
German Doner Kebab
The doner kebab has always been one of the best selling fast foods in the UK. German Doner Kebab is a fast food retailer that has created a healthy and nutritionally balanced approach to traditional kebabs. This is still a growing chain, but expect to see it grow substantially over the coming years.

CD Review: Sean Kershaw and the New Jack Ramblers – Coney Island Cowboy
Hard honkytonk doesn't get any better than this. The band may be new jack but Sean Kershaw is definitely oldschool. One of the prime movers of the vibrant New York country/Americana scene, Kershaw led a fiery rockabilly band, the Blind Pharaohs back in the 90s and early zeros; this project grew out of an off-the-cuff jam session between some of the best players on the scene. Since they were always busy with gigs during the week, they could only get together on an off-day. But word spread and suddenly Sundays at Hank's Saloon in Brooklyn was the place to be (free barbecue didn't hurt). This is the band that sprang out of that jam, and it's a damn good one: while Kershaw, true to form, performs live with a rotating cast of characters (he's got a deep rolodex), this cd features the multistylistic Bob Hoffnar on pedal steel, the ubiquitous Homeboy Steve Antonakos on lead guitar plus a no-nonsense rhythm section of Jason Hogue on upright bass and Andrew Borger (of Norah Jones' band) on drums. Recorded by the band's longtime friend Rick Miller of Southern Culture on the Skids, most of this has a similar guitar-fueled burn, not to mention a sense of humor: some of these songs are hilarious, in a vintage 70s Moe Bandy way. Kershaw delivers them with a wink and a grin in a knowing, Johnny Cash-style baritone.
The funniest song on the album is The Trucker & the Tranny, ostensibly a true story – "Are you gonna tell him?" chuckles a friend at the bar as the two cavort. Or maybe it's Bigshot of the Honkytonk, a downright vicious portrait of a bartender who's a big fish in a little pond: "The jukebox plays his favorite song 25 times a night." Crackerjack Delight echoes Orbison but with a surreal, contemporary edge, while Already Cheatin' is a catchy shuffle: "There ain't no fish scales underneath my fingernails, it must be the smell of cheating going on." The Carl Perkins-inflected Moonlight Eyes -the Blind Pharaohs' signature song – is redone here as a fetching duet between Kershaw and the golden-voiced Drina Seay. There's also the eerie, completely noir, LJ Murphy-style Woke Up Dead, driven by a searing pedal steel solo; a western swing shuffle where Kershaw tries his hand at scatting, and actually pulls it off; a bizarre Split Lip Rayfield style number about doing battle with Satan; a SCOTS-style barn-burner with Miller guesting on guitar; and a remake of the folk song Old Hollow Tree, this one abruptly uprooted and transplanted to Brooklyn.
The title track is inadvertently sad, a vivid summertime oceanside scene populated with freaks and characters, complete with sound samples of the Cyclone rollercoaster. It's a time capsule, and unfortunately the bumper cars aren't bumpin' to that crazy hip-hop beat anymore. The Astroland amusement park is gone, soon to be replaced by a parking lot since Mayor Bloomberg's dream of driving out the blacks and Hispanics with casinos and "luxury" condos for rich white tourists doesn't stand much of a chance these days – unless he funds it himself. Meanwhile, the neighborhood has pulled together and has been fighting it – unsurprisingly, when the band isn't on the road they've been involved with the Save Coney Island movement, which deserves your support as well.

Monica Passin/Sean Kershaw and the New Jack Ramblers at Banjo Jim's, NYC 4/24/08
It's no secret that New York has one of the most vital, thriving country music scenes anywhere. Forget any snide commentary you may have overheard about urban musicians playing country: if anything, the music coming out of the New York country scene is far more traditionally-oriented than most anything Nashville is producing these days. Tonight's bill paired two of the more popular country acts in town. Monica Passin, frontwoman of long-running Rodeo Bar honkytonkers L'il Mo and the Monicats played mostly solo acoustic, with occasional help from a couple of women who sang harmonies, and the New Jack Ramblers' amazing lead guitarist. She's pretty much everything you could want in a country singer: pretty voice, good songs, good taste in covers and backing musicians. Her best song was a minor-key rockabilly number – the first one in that style she'd ever written, she said – possibly titled This Cat. The lead player used Passin's ominous chord changes as a springboard for a riveting, intense, jazz-inflected solo that drew roars of appreciation from the crowd. On the last song, Passin invited Lisa, the bar owner up to sing harmonies, and as it turned out she's actually good! Not since the days when Juliana Nash ran the show at Pete's Candy Store has there been a bar owner who's been able to show off such a soaring, fearless voice. Bands in need of a frontwoman ought to stop by the bar: she won't embarrass you, and if all else fails you'll always have a place to play.
Sean Kershaw and the New Jack Ramblers aren't exactly under the radar, maintaining a hectic gig schedule in addition to the regular Sunday night residency they've been playing at Hank's for what seems forever. They're a rotating crew of some of the best players in town: the weekly Sunday show originated out of necessity, as this was the only night everybody in the band didn't have a gig. Tonight, backed by just lead guitar and upright bass (their awe-inspiring pedal steel player Bob Hoffnar wasn't available, and you really don't need drums in a small room like Banjo Jim's), Kershaw ran through a mix of what sounded like covers but probably weren't. The guy's a hell of a songwriter, a prolific, versatile writer as comfortable with western swing as honkytonk, rockabilly or stark, Johnny Cash-inspired narratives. Tonight's show was the western swing show, driven by lead guitarist Skip Krevens, whose ability to burn through a whole slew of styles was nothing short of spectacular, everything from jazz to rockabilly to blues. He made it seem effortless. They gamely ran through the old standard Smoke That Cigarette in addition to a bunch of originals, some recorded, some not, closing the first of their two sets with what has become Kershaw's signature song, Moonlight Eyes. Originally recorded with his first band, the fiery, rockabilly unit the Blind Pharaohs, it's a genuine classic, something that sounds like a Carl Perkins hit from 1956. Kershaw has played it a million times, but still manages to make it sound fresh, the ominous undercurrent beneath its blithe romantic sway more apparent than ever tonight, stripped down to just the basics.
And what was even more apparent was that both of the acts on this bill would probably be big stars in a smaller metropolis: here, they're only part of a widespread, talented scene.

Westlife have unveiled their comeback single Hello My Love… and it's not a ballad!
The new track, available to stream and download today, is the band's first single since reuniting and their first release in 8 years. Hello My Love is written and produced by Ed Sheeran and Steve Mac.
A soaring pop anthem, Hello My Love showcases the four-piece's tight harmonies but pushes them sonically in a new direction. It's the first taster from the band's upcoming new album.
Westlife – Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne, Mark Feehily and Kian Egan – announced their return to music in October 2018. The band have signed a new record deal with Virgin EMI and their new album is expected this year.
Starting in May, Westlife will embark on The Twenty Tour. Their first in seven years, the tour will kick off in Belfast on 25th May and run through June and July ending in Dublin on 5th July.
The Twenty Tour has become Westlife's fastest-selling tour to date. They sold 400,000 tickets in 48 hours.

Will Dewan Housing Finance Corp. Ltd (DHFL) default?
When investors didn't like the answer to this question in September, the small-ticket housing financier's stock plunged more than 42% in a single day.
The management took steps to alleviate concerns by stating their intent to repay every paper on maturity without fail. And, so far, DHFL has indeed repaid all maturing debt on the due date.
But the question continues to haunt investors even today, especially those who have put their faith and money in the company's bonds.
While the bond markets had made adjustments long ago, rating agencies have finally noted the housing lender's plight and DHFL has lost its crown of being AAA rated. Last week, CARE Ratings Ltd downgraded a bunch of bonds by DHFL to AA+ from AAA rating. Icra Ltd has put its ratings under negative watch. The rating agencies took note of the hit on profitability due to adverse market conditions.
"While a one notch rating downgrade in itself is not worrisome, there is a trust deficit among bond holders currently," said Ajay Manglunia, executive vice president at Edelweiss Financial Services Ltd.
DHFL's borrowing costs had surged more than 100 basis points between April and November owing to this. Losing the AAA rating could add another 30-40 basis points to this rise, according to Manglunia.
"No one wants to touch DHFL papers now. Bonds are being quoted at a huge discount in the market, indicating that there are sellers and no buyers," said a bond trader at another non-banking financial company. A debt fund manager at a mutual fund also confirmed this.
While the DHFL management has accused the rating agency of arbitrarily downgrading its instruments, it's clear that the rating agencies can't be blamed. After all, the company's loan disbursements fell a whopping 95% in the December quarter. Investors viewed DHFL as a growing lender and when the very growth has halted, why put money into it?
But the malaise in the company is deeper than the rating downgrades.
DHFL faces questions on its governance after an investigation by Cobrapost alleged siphoning of funds through shell companies, among other financial irregularities by the promoters. The management has sprung into action yet again to dispel fears, and categorically denied the allegations.
To its credit, DHFL and its holding company Wadhawan Global Capital, have taken steps to prevent default on repayments. DHFL has cash holdings of around ₹5,000 crore. It will get a net cash flow of over ₹500 crore from its stake sale in Aadhar Housing Finance Ltd and its asset management business, the management said in a conference call with investors.
The management has indicated that it would increase the pace of securitization of its loan book and the share of such securitization would be brought to 35-40% of assets under management.
DHFL may have done well so far to liquidate assets and repay maturing debt. But how long can it continue to service debt in this fashion is a question that has investors worried. As such, time is of essence and, unless banks are willing to uncork lending and bond investors turn friendly, DHFL may indeed default. Not because it had no money, but because circumstances made it difficult to raise enough of it.

Yael Kenan's Campus Visit
Sponsored by Israel Institute Support for CIS and Comparative Literature Department
Friday | 29 March| 11 am - 12:15 PM | LT 1506
Yael Kenan presents: "The Politics of Comparison: The Dead-living and the Living-dead in Israeli and Palestinian Literatures."
This talk brings two literary (and political) figures into conversation with each other: the dead-living in Hebrew poetry, and the living-dead in Palestinian literature. Both figures muddle the distinction between life and death, living and dying, and have a fraught relation to their own bodies. But, importantly, the figures exist on opposite sides of the power differential in Israel/Palestine, making comparison both necessary and articularly complex. The lecture offers a reading of each text on its own terms, but likewise probes the possibility of comparison in a context of ongoing power imbalance.
Yael Kenan is a PhD candidate in the Department of Comparative Literature at
the University of Michigan. Her dissertation focuses on intersections of mourning
and nationalism in Palestinian and Israeli literatures after 1948.

Screening and Discussion with Prof. Erez Tzfadia
Sponsored by Israel Institute Support for CIS and Judaic Studies Department
Monday | 11 February | 12 - 1 PM | LT 1310
Faculty Seminar with Prof. Erez Tzfadia
Monday | 11 February | 3:30 - 6:30 PM | FA 258
"The Ancestral Sin" - A Documentary Series by David Deri, Doron Galezer and Ruth Yuval
Prof. Tzfadia was the scientific adviser of The Ancestral Sin, which tells the story of Jewish-Arab immigrants in the early days of the Israeli state. The documentary sparked a public storm about the role of ethnicity and race in Israeli culture and politics. In the faculty seminar, Prof Tzfadia will discuss the public reception of the film as a way of opening a broader conversation about tensions that lie between theory and practice, and more.
"The Ancestral Sin" is the story of Israel's 'development towns' in a chilling documentary, as never told before: Testimonials and previously sealed transcripts reveal a method, an ideology and a cruel practice of law enforcement and decision makers behind the 'population dispersal' policies in the first two decades of independence. The director's family, like others, was taken to Yeruham, a development town in the Negev desert. Their personal stories recount of the price immigrant-families pay and the price still paid by Israeli society, unwilling to deal head-on with those early years and forgotten towns."
Professor Erez Tzfadia is the scientific advisor of the series. He is Associate Professor of Public Policy and Administration at Sapir College, Israel. His work focuses on spatial policy and politics. He was an Israel Institute Visiting Scholar at Rutgers University (2015-6), and he headed the department of public policy and administration at Sapir Collage (2011-5). Tzfadia is the chairperson of BIMKOM – Planners for Human Rights (an Israeli NGO).

The Museum is a film that observes, examines and ponders Israel's most important cultural institution, the Israel Museum. The film follows the visitors, observes the observers, listens to the speakers and descends to the storerooms, labs and conference rooms.
The American museum director, the singing security guard, the Jerusalemite curator, the Haredi kashrut inspector, the Palestinian guide and the visitor who lost her vision are some of the characters that take part in a chain of activities which add up to the museum. For about 18 months director Ran Tal collected footage of the daily routine of the museum that seeks to both reflect and mold the Israeli legacy and culture.
Ran Tal, born in 1963, graduated the Tel Aviv University Department of Film in 1994. Tal is an independent director whose documentaries focus on Israeli reality through an historic social perspective. Tal's main focus is on documentary films, in addition to which he directs diverse television projects and is editor of artistic social endeavors.

KNESSET SIMULATION with Dr. Ned Lazarus
Sponsored by Israel Institute Support for CIS and Temple Beth El Endowment for Judaic Studies
Monday, 30 April, 2-9 p.m. (with training and meeting in the weeks before)
LN 1106 (IASH Conference room)
Participants will engage in a Knesset role-play designed to acquaint students with Israeli parliamentary politics and specific issue content chosen at instructor's discretion (in this case, likely content is corruption scandals and/or tension surrounding the US embassy moving to Jerusalem).
This simulation is intended to provide an interactive framework for understanding the complexities of contemporary Israeli coalition politics, and an opportunity for participants to apply your own background knowledge and learning from the course. The exercise is structured to simulate coalition and opposition negotiations within the present political context. Each of you will role play elected representatives of one of the political parties in the 20th Knesset, based on actual electoral results.
In the course of the simulation, you will:
1) Establish a common position for your party on critical decisions facing the government;
2) Engage in discussions with other parties in order to elucidate their positions on said issues;
3) Knesset Plenary: Each party will make a statement of approximately 5-10 minutes articulating clear positions on the issues at stake, and the continuation of the current governing coalition – during which you may propose or oppose a motion of no/confidence;
4) Subsequent to the plenary, parties will engage in parallel coalition and opposition meetings and negotiations, and determine votes regarding the legislative proposals of the coalition or opposition;
5) Meet in a final plenary for concluding statements and a vote of no/confidence in the government;
Your goal is to represent as authentically as possible, based on knowledge and research, the perspective and priorities of your party. In the beginning, you should speak as you believe your party would speak. In the process, you should negotiate as you believe your party would negotiate. In the end, you should vote as you believe your party would vote. After the vote, we will have a debrief to share reflections from the activity and assess it as a learning experience and as a reflection of actual political dynamics.

"Orientalism and the Jewish Question: A Conversation with Gregory Starrett and Joyce Dalsheim"
Thursday, 15 March, 3 pm - 5 pm
LT 2200 Harpur College Dean's Conference Room
The historical Jewish Question was formative in contemporary social theory about belonging, difference and othering. Much of that theory has become so taken for granted that we might have forgotten how we got here and risk losing the critical tools for analyzing the problems that face us today. Is the Jewish Question now the Muslim Question? What are we to make of current problems of migrants and refugees from the Middle East and elsewhere arriving on the shores of Europe? How can re-thinking the roots of social theory by revisiting the Jewish Question help us place this moment is a broader historical context?
Joyce Dalsheim is a cultural anthropologist in the Department of Global Studies at UNC Charlotte. Her work deals with issues of nationalism, religion and the secular, and conflict, primarily in Israel/Palestine. She is the author of Unsettling Gaza: Secular Liberalism, Radical Religion and the Israeli Settler Project, and Producing Spoilers: Peacemaking and the Production of Enmity in a Secular Age.
Gregory Starrett is Professor of Anthropology at UNC Charlotte. His research has concerned Islamic education in Egypt and among African-American Muslims in the U.S.; theories of secularism and public culture; and cultural perceptions of threat and difference. He is author of Putting Islam to Work: Education, Politics, and Religious Transformation in Egypt, and co-editor of Teaching Islam: Religion and Textbooks in the Middle East.

The Center for Israel Studies welcomes Eyal Sagui Bizawe, Director of "Arab Movie"
Film Screening with the Director
Discussion will follow movie
Wednesday, 14 February, 3 pm - 5 pm
ADMISSIONS CENTER ROOM 189
It was a tradition of 1970s Friday afternoons in Israel: tuning in to the only television channel and watching the Arab movie of the week. It was a national pastime, and a strange one at that: how did Israel's official TV station obtain these films? Why did it insist on regularly showing films made by "the enemy"? And why were Israelis so interested in Arabic cinema? This documentary looks into one of the most unlikely moments in Israel's history, and examines not just how but why the country shared cultural heroes with those they were often at war with. A nostalgic examination of a time gone by, and one that raises some challenging questions.
Eyal Sagui Bizawi is a researcher of Egyptian Cinema and Popular Culture, and holds a BA in Arabic Literature and Middle Eastern Studies from the Tel Aviv University and an MA in Cultural Studies from the Hebrew University, Jerusalem.
Cosponsored by Middle East and North Africa Studies (MENA) and the Cinema Department.
"Through English, Densely: Comparative Partitions, World Literature, and Critical Pedagogy in Israel/Palestine"
Tuesday, November 14, 4.00pm
IASH Conference Room (LN 1106)
Please join us for a talk by Dr. Ayelet Ben-Yishai of the University of Haifa. Dr. Ben-Yishai will discuss her recent experience teaching a seminar on the Anglophone literature of the 1947 South Asian Partition to Palestinian and Jewish-Israeli students in the English Department at Haifa, focusing on the ways in which students read the South Asian partitions through their own historical and political context. She will describe a pedagogical practice that reinvests the Anglophone texts with their historical, political and formal density while raising important questions about comparative methodologies.
Please contact Prof. Lior Libman (llibman@binghamton.edu) for questions.
Professor Kent Schull discusses his service learning course and "The Refugee Crisis in the Middle East"
Tuesday 24 October at Noon
Harpur Edge Conference Room
Please RSVP below by Monday 16 October
This summer Professor Kent Schull led a group of Binghamton University students on a service learning course to Greece. This course investigated issues of human rights, international law, humanitarian aid, immigration, what it means to be a refugee, public health and security concerns, and efforts facilitating and hindering aid. Not only did students learn about these various issues in depth, but they also experienced first-hand the challenges and issues related to the crisis through a two week excursion to Greece where they worked with a local solidarity network, NGOs, the local Greek Community and state on the Greek Island of Leros in the Aegean Sea.
Come hear Professor Schull and one of the student participants speak about their experiences helping refugees this summer.

It's now been over a month since our first Ultimate Frisbee Tour stop and after this past weekend's stop in Dayton at Precious Blood, the tour has finally and unfortunately come to a close. What an awesome tour though!
In just three stops the seminarians were able to compete against nearly 150 teens and young adults from across the Archdiocese! The weather was nearly picture perfect during all three of the tour stops and not once were we forced off the fields due to rain. The overall energy from the young people of this Archdiocese was palpable and by the looks of it, many eyes were opened to just who goes into the seminary.
These are normal guys, with normal likes and dislikes, who like to play, laugh, and have fun, but who also have taken seriously their call to holiness and their call to follow Christ where He leads. For most of these men, that path will be to the priesthood, for some, that may not be where God is asking them to use their gifts and talents. In the meantime, all of them are able to share the joy that comes from seeking and doing the will of God each day of their lives.
And now, without further ado, I give you the long-awaited pictures from the tour . We were not able to take pictures at all the stops but we have many to share, so enjoy! For even more pictures, visit our Facebook page !
Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the many people who deserve extra attention for helping to make this tour such a success. First, to Andrew Cordonnier who first came up with the idea and the seminarians who went along with it! Next, a big thank you to St. Remy in Russia, Mount St. Mary's Seminary in Cincinnati, and Precious Blood in Dayton for hosting the tour this year. Thanks to the Serra Clubs of Cincinnati and St. Marys/Sidney and those who helped in Dayton for preparing all the food! It was delicious! Thanks to the youth ministers and the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry for helping to get the word out and helping to attract those who were able to make it. We'll be counting on you again next year! And finally, and perhaps most importantly, to all those who showed up! We look forward to seeing you all next year! Until then, keep praying for vocations, especially for the men in seminary formation and for your own vocation. May God lead you and may you be willing to follow!

Leaders of the Jaminawa indigenous people demand a stop to people speaking on their behalf about REDD in Acre, Brazil
Two weeks ago, REDD-Monitor posted a letter from indigenous peoples in Acre, Brazil announcing their support for the work of the Indigenous Missionary Council (CIMI) in Acre. The letter was part of an on-going discussion in Brazil about REDD in Brazil and its impacts on indigenous peoples.
In a recent article, titled "Forest Diamonds", Fabiano Maisonnave attacked CIMI. According to Maisonnave, CIMI "promotes divisions within tribes to bring down carbon credit schemes", and "contributed to increased deforestation in the [Suruí's territory] Seventh of September".
CIMI's executive secretary Cleber Buzatto sent Maisonnave a copy of a letter signed by six leaders of the Jaminawa indigenous people. Maisonnave wrote that,
They claim the letter criticising Cimi did not represent them and demanded an explanation of how money paid by KfW had been used.
The letter from the Jaminawa is available here in Portuguese. REDD-Monitor recently received an English translation of the letter.
The Jaminawa letter is in response to a July 2017 letter in favour of REDD. The July letter starts by stating that it was written by "indigenous and agroforestry leaders and agents of the Huni Kui, Jaminawa, Ashaninka, Nukini, Nawa, Yawanawa, Katuquina, Puyanawa, Shanenawa e Shawãdawa peoples, gathered here in Rio Branco, at the Forest Peoples' Training Center on July 28-31, as part of the General Assembly of the Association of the Movement of Indigenous Agroforestry Agents of Acre (Assembleia Geral da Associação do Movimento dos Agentes Agroflorestais Indígenas do Acre– AMAAIAC)".
The Jaminawa filed their letter with the public prosecution service demanding an investigation into people speaking on behalf of Jaminawa indigenous people without even consulting them beforehand.
There has been a series of letters and public statements in recent months about REDD in Brazil:
May 2017: Xapuri Declaration, opposing REDD and "any form of climate colonialism".
July 2017: AMAAIAC letter (the "agroforestry agents"), in favour of REDD.
August 2017: Jaminawa letter, demanding an investigation into who is speaking on behalf of indigenous peoples and where the money went to from KfW for its REDD early movers programme in Acre.
September 2017: Indigenous peoples in Acre produce a statement in support for CIMI's work in Acre, following a meeting in Feijó, Acre.
The Jaminawa letter is dated 21 August 2017, and the stamp at the top of the letter confirms receipt by the federal public prosecution service in Acre.
To the federal public prosecution service and other authorities
We Indigenous Jaminawa Peoples decided to write this document to demand that the authorities take action to clarify what is happening against the Indigenous Peoples in Acre. There are many people talking on behalf of us and asking for REDD money in our name but without consulting either the People or the community.
Recently, at the office of CPI AC [Comissão Pro Indio Acre] a letter was written titled "Open letter in reply to the declaration about SISA REDD+ and Indigenous Peoples in Acre". In that letter two names of the Jaminawa People appear. The name of Rosimeire Afonso de Souza who signs as Jaminawa is not a Jamaniwa and we do not even know who she is. So she is a fake indigenous person who signs on our behalf. Our leaders were there in Xapuri with our support. José Correia Jaminawa who was also there is our leader, and he is even being pressured by FUNAI because of that.
We want to say that the agroforestry agents cannot talk on behalf of the communities because the People have our own leaders who talk on our behalf. We do not wantAMAIAC, or the government, or CPI to continue talking on our behalf. CPI gives money to them to sign such letters in order to divide the indigenous and attack our partners. If you want to say something you can just search for our leaders. We would also never talk on behalf of another People. Each People speaks for itself.
We know that a lot of money is arriving in the name of the indigenous and we even had a meeting with Mrs. Christina from the KfW Bank. She said she had already sent €26 million to the government, to the CPI, and to AMAIAC, but we do not know where this money went to. That's why we want the authorities to investigate these NGOs to find out where this money went to. The money was applied for in the name of the indigenous without informing the indigenous peoples.
We demand that the speaking on behalf of our leaders is stopped, and that our leaders can participate in whatever activity to defend our people without being persecuted by anybody. We demand a financial report about all this money. We want to know who is keeping our money.
We want the authorities to take action
Undersigned, leaders of the Jaminawa People
"I've got nothing to talk about. I am really sick of you people casting aspersions on my company. No payment has been made to PNG, your information is incorrect…. I am not explaining at all. I am not having this conversation."
— Jim Johnson, Carbon Planet, in reply to questions about a payment of A$1.2 million to develop carbon trading projects in PNG, June 2009

Q4 FY16 SaaS and PaaS revenues were up 66%, and up 68% in constant currency
Via Oracle Press Room
Q1 FY17 SaaS and PaaS Revenues Expected to be Up 75% to 80%
Redwood Shores, Calif.—Jun 16, 2016
Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) today announced fiscal 2016 Q4 results. Total Q4 Revenues were $10.6 billion, down 1% in U.S. dollars and flat in constant currency. Cloud plus On-Premise Software Revenues were $8.4 billion, flat in U.S. dollars and up 2% in constant currency. Cloud software as a service (SaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) revenues were $690 million, up 66% in U.S. dollars and up 68% in constant currency. Total Cloud revenues, including infrastructure as a service (IaaS), were $859 million, up 49% in U.S dollars and up 51% in constant currency. Operating Income was $4.0 billion, and Operating Margin was 37%. Non-GAAP Operating Income was $4.8 billion, and the non-GAAP Operating Margin was 45%. Net Income was $2.8 billion while non-GAAP Net Income was $3.4 billion. Earnings Per Share was $0.66, while non-GAAP Earnings Per Share was $0.81. Without the impact of the U.S. dollar strengthening compared to foreign currencies, Oracle's reported GAAP Earnings Per Share would have been 2 cents higher and non-GAAP Earnings Per Share would have been 1 cent higher.
Short-term deferred revenues were $7.7 billion, up 6% in U.S. dollars and up 7% in constant currency compared with a year ago. Operating cash flow on a trailing twelve-month basis was $13.6 billion.
For fiscal 2016, Total Revenues were $37.0 billion, down 3% in U.S. dollars and up 2% in constant currency. Cloud plus On-Premise Software Revenues were $29.0 billion, down 2% in U.S. dollars and up 3% in constant currency. Cloud SaaS and PaaS revenues were $2.2 billion, up 49% in U.S. dollars and up 52% in constant currency. Total Cloud revenues, including IaaS, were $2.9 billion, up 36% in U.S dollars and up 40% in constant currency. Operating Income was $12.6 billion, and Operating Margin was 34%. Non-GAAP Operating Income was $15.8 billion and non-GAAP Operating Margin was 43%. Net Income was $8.9 billion while non-GAAP Net Income was $11.2 billion. Earnings Per Share was $2.07, while Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share was $2.61. Without the impact of the U.S. dollar strengthening compared to foreign currencies, Oracle's reported GAAP and non-GAAP Earnings Per Share would have been 17 cents higher.
"Fourth quarter SaaS and PaaS revenue growth accelerated to 68% in constant currency, significantly higher than my guidance," said Oracle CEO, Safra Catz. "SaaS and PaaS gross margins continued to improve throughout the year, exiting FY16 at 56%. Bookings in Q4 were also very strong enabling us to raise our guidance for Q1 SaaS and PaaS revenue growth, which we now expect to be between 75% and 80%."
"We added more than 1,600 new SaaS customers and more than 2,000 new PaaS customers in Q4," said Oracle CEO, Mark Hurd. "In Fusion ERP alone, we added more than 800 new cloud customers. Today, Oracle has nearly 2,600 Fusion ERP customers in the Oracle Public Cloud – that's ten-times more cloud ERP customers than Workday."
"We expect that the SaaS and PaaS hyper-growth we experienced in FY16 will continue on for the next few years," said Oracle Executive Chairman and CTO, Larry Ellison. "That gives us a fighting chance to be the first cloud company to reach $10 billion in SaaS and PaaS revenue. We're also very excited about the availability of version 2 of Oracle's Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)—which will enable us to speed up the growth of our IaaS business, which customers want to buy in conjunction with our SaaS and PaaS."
The Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of outstanding common stock. This dividend will be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 6, 2016, with a payment date of July 27, 2016.

More large areas would be taken away from the Danube because of new large investments
The exact documentation of the new investments planned on the Hajógyári Island has been recently published, which aims at the establishment of a kayak-canoe centre and the investment for flood protection of the whole island. According to WWF Hungary, the investment is not only harmful due to the construction of a valuable urban green space, but the further reduction of the heavily narrowed floodplain of the Danube is not a wise decision considering the effects of climate change.
A climate risk study of Hajógyári Island shows that the investment would involve a felling of about 650-1000 old trees. While valuable forests are being cut down elsewhere to reduce the risk of flooding, this project will significantly increase the flood risk in Budapest by narrowing the active floodplain. According to the plans, the island surrounded by dams would be like a basin doused into the Danube during the floods, which would create a great flood risk in itself on the island. With the construction of the dams, the floodplain will decrease to such an extent that the flood level would increase by almost 10 cm - and this could endanger the properties on the banks of the Danube in Pest and Buda. Besides, pier stability problems may appear at the Megyeri Bridge, and due to the disturbance of the area, allochthon invasive species may take the place of gallery forests, consisting native plants.
Floodplain areas along the river are important in several ways: they ensure home for rich wildlife and provide many recreational opportunities for people. This applies especially to urban areas where there are currently relatively few large, contiguous green areas, thus heat waves hit the population much harder. 54% of people live in cities worldwide and this proportion is growing steadily. Therefore, the preservation of urban green areas is particularly important. If investments are initiated at the expense of these, the involvement of residents and stakeholders cannot be avoided during planning.
We bear the brunt of the destruction of wetlands
Since the river regulations, 97% of the Hungarian wetlands have disappeared, which has not only resulted an intense reduction of aquatic life but has also damaged the functions and services of nature, which are an essential part of the human living environment. Examples include the reduction of heat island effect in cities, carbon sequestration, microclimate control, or the improvement of air quality, not to mention many recreational opportunities.
Today, we have reached the point where most of the natural habitats have disappeared, their condition has deteriorated, they have lost their ability to self-regulate, for this reason, their survival requires more and more treatment. "In the area of the capital, it is especially true that the last pieces of green areas along the Danube have particular significance in many respects. Both for ensuring a livable environment and for combating climate change. Hajógyári Island also draws attention to the fact that we cannot cope with the environmental challenges of the 21st century if the protection of natural resources and green areas continues to be subordinated to exaggerated infrastructure developments," said Katalin Sipos, Director of WWF Hungary.

Birthday memories will last for the Horschels
Billy Horschel Snr. said that spending his 70th birthday playing beautiful Kingsbarns with his son "will be something I remember until the day I die".
He was presented with a celebratory bottle of champagne from Alfred Dunhill after his second round and added: "This whole week has been such a wonderful experience and I will have so many happy memories to recall in the years ahead."
But perhaps the greatest memory is yet to come, with the Horschels' third round scheduled for the Old Course, and with their Team Championship score on 13-under par – putting them close to the top 20 who will qualify for Sunday – there might yet be two weekend rounds at the Home of Golf to round off the birthday celebrations.
US Tour player Billy Horschel, the recent winner of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, wanted to treat his father this week and Horschel senior said: "I can't thank Dunhill enough for giving me the invite, and I will always remember my tee shot today to the par-three 13th by the ocean, even though I then missed the putt!
"To be honest I had a bit of a rough day on the course, but it was very tricky in the wind and the most important thing is that I am here, I am with my son and we are playing three truly great courses.
"I am so looking forward to the third round. I played ten holes in practice earlier this week and, despite not really having my best swing at the moment after surgery in April, I'm hopeful of playing a bit better on the Old Course. I think it will suit me better."

Bush, Dalai Lama discuss China curbs
By - The Washington Times - Wednesday, November 9, 2005
President Bush yesterday met with Tibet's Dalai Lama to discuss religious persecution in China, a topic Mr. Bush plans to raise with Chinese officials during a visit to Beijing next week.
The Dalai Lama meeting comes on the heels of Beijing handing jail terms to a family of Bible distributors and the day before a planned Falun Gong demonstration outside the White House demanding more U.S. pressure on China.
"We strongly support religious freedom," White House press secretary Scott McClellan told reporters yesterday. "And when there are countries that are not allowing for religious freedom within their borders, we are going to point that out."
The president said this week that he will raise religious freedom as an issue when he meets with Chinese President Hu Jintao.
"I will continue to remind President Hu about, for example, my personal faith and the belief that people should be allowed to worship freely," he told a round table of Asian journalists on Tuesday. "And a vibrant, whole society is one that recognizes that certain freedoms are inherent and need to be part of a complete society."
However, the White House played down the Dalai Lama's visit yesterday, classifying it as private and releasing no official transcripts, holding no press conference and barring press photographers. The Dalai Lama did not comment, and Mr. Bush made only one passing reference to the meeting, at a later event honoring recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Still, the meeting won applause from activists on religious freedom in China.
"Today's presidential meeting sends a signal that the U.S. government really cares about not only Tibet, but also religious freedom in all of China," said professor Larry Liu of American University. "It's a very strong message."
Like the Dalai Lama, Mr. Liu is calling on Mr. Bush to press Mr. Hu to end religious persecution when the two leaders meet next week. Mr. Liu is a practitioner of the Falun Gong spiritual movement, whose members have been killed or imprisoned in China.
"We want to send a message to President Bush to raise the issue of persecution against Falun Gong to Mr. Hu Jintao," Mr. Liu said.
To that end, a group of Falun Gong practitioners planned a press conference near the White House today to demand exit visas for 17 Chinese children whose parents were killed or imprisoned for practicing the meditative religion. They will also call for the release of eight Falun Gong practitioners who were sentenced to particularly long prison terms.
The president sounded hopeful that Mr. Hu would be persuadable.
"He's made some very positive statements — and interesting statements — about different aspects of freedom," Mr. Bush told the Asian journalists.
Religious freedom in China has come under increasing assault in recent years.
On Tuesday, Chinese authorities slapped a three-year prison sentence on Cai Zhuohua, a leader of an underground church in Beijing, for distributing Bibles and other Christian materials. His wife, Xiao Yunfei, got two years, and her brother, Xiao Gaowen, was sentenced to 18 months by the Haidian Lower People's Court in Beijing.
In addition to meeting with the president at the White House, the Dalai Lama met yesterday with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who will accompany Mr. Bush to Asia.
