In neuroanatomy, the optic tract () is a part of the visual system in the brain. It is a continuation of the optic nerve that relays information from the optic chiasm to the ipsilateral lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), pretectal nuclei, and superior colliculus.

It is composed of two individual tracts, the left optic tract and the right optic tract, each of which conveys visual information exclusive to its respective contralateral half of the visual field. Each of these tracts is derived from a combination of temporal and nasal retinal fibers from each eye that corresponds to one half of the visual field. In more specific terms, the optic tract contains fibers from the ipsilateral temporal hemiretina and contralateral nasal hemiretina.

Visual system
The optic tract carries retinal information relating to the whole visual field. Specifically, the left optic tract corresponds to the right visual field, while the right optic tract corresponds to the left visual field. To form the right visual field, temporal retinal fibers from the left eye and nasal retinal fibers from the right eye form the left optic tract, and to form the left visual field, temporal retinal fibers from the right eye and nasal retinal fibers from the left eye form the right optic tract.

Autonomics
Several autonomic ocular motor responses are consensual. The optic tract is primarily responsible for relaying visual information to the LGN, but it is also peripherally responsible for transducing these bilateral autonomic reflexes, including the pupillary light reflex and pupillary dark reflex.

Pupillary light reflex
The pupillary light reflex is an autonomic reflex that controls pupil diameter to accommodate for increases in illumination as perceived by the retina. Higher light intensity causes pupil constriction, and the increase of light stimulation of one eye will cause pupillary constriction of both eyes. The neural circuitry of the pupillary light reflex includes the optic tract which joins the optic nerve to the brachium of the superior colliculus.

Pupillary dark reflex
Similarly to the pupillary light reflex, the pupillary dark reflex is an autonomic reflex that controls pupil diameter to accommodate for decreases in illumination as perceived by the retina. Lower light intensity causes pupil dilation, and the decrease of light stimulation of one eye will cause pupillary dilation of both eyes. Similarly, the neural circuitry of the pupillary dark reflex includes the optic tract which joins the optic nerve to the hypothalamus.

Damage and pathologies

Lesions
Lesions in the optic tract correspond to visual field loss on the left or right half of the vertical midline, also known as homonymous hemianopsia. A lesion in the left optic tract will cause right-sided homonymous hemianopsia, while a lesion in the right optic tract will cause left-sided homonymous hemianopsia. Stroke, congenital defects, tumors, infection, and surgery are all possible causes of optic tract damage. Peripheral prism expanders and vision restitution therapy are often employed in patients with visual field loss resultant of permanent optic tract damage.

Split-brain
In certain split-brain patients who have undergone a corpus callosotomy to treat severe epilepsy, the information from one optic tract does not get transmitted to both hemispheres. For instance, a split-brain patient shown an image in the left visual field will be unable to vocally name what has been seen as the speech-control center is in the left hemisphere of the brain.

Pupillary reflexes
Pupillary reflexes, particularly the pupillary light reflex, are a powerful diagnostic tool often employed in clinical and emergency medical practice. A lack of equal consensual pupillary constriction to a light stimulus, especially a Marcus Gunn pupil, can be indicative of optic nerve damage, brainstem death, or optic tract damage in between.

The Gristmiller's House, also known as The Miller's House, is an historic home which is located in Bethlehem, Northampton County, Pennsylvania.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

History and architectural features
The original building is a one-story limestone structure that was built in 1782. A one-and-one-half-story brick addition in the Federal style was added during the 1830s.  It is included as part of the Bethlehem Colonial Industrial Quarter.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

History and Description
The Miller's House was one of the early private, family homes and the first separate residence for the master of a trade constructed after the end of Bethlehem's General Economy in the 1760s. Situated adjacent to the Luckenbach Mill, which was erected in 1869, the home allowed the miller to live close to the mill, where he was responsible for grinding grain into flour. It served as a home until the 1970s and currently awaits restoration.

The Gristmiller's House is presently under the care of Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

While the building is not currently open to the public, visitors can enjoy the Miller's House Garden, planted on a Germanic four-square pattern from 1870. The garden includes native plants such as a variety of vintage roses and herbs, and is maintained by the Bethlehem Garden Club.

Home / Child Development / Is your child ready to be toilet trained?
Dry diaper for hours – It is a sign he can already control his well-developed bladder.
Predictable bowel schedule – This means you can predict the time when he is most likely to poo and make him sit on his potty trainer.
Signaling his desire to pee or poo – Your tot's attempt to communicate (verbally or non-verbally) is a manifestation of his consciousness of his body function. The awareness will make him stop what he is doing to tell you he is going to poo or pee.
Once your toddler is ready for toilet training, he will bask in his independence and achievement. So, give him the space to try the toilet on his own with some guidance and don't forget to praise him. As your child becomes a little more independent, you too can better enjoy parenthood with a toilet trained toddler in the house.

The 2023 Oscar nominations have arrived, and the odds are in on who's likeliest to take home an Academy Award. Here are the 2023 Oscars predictions.
The 2023 Oscars nominations have arrived, but experts already have their picks of which movies are favored to win in each category. The year 2022 had a wide variety of movies that are predicted to pick up Academy Awards in the 2023 ceremony, including genres like drama, sci-fi, action, and comedy as well as a surprising number of sequels to decades-old films. Considering the 2022 Oscars brought a few big surprises at the ceremony through Best Picture winner CODA, Will Smith winning Best Actor directly after slapping Chris Rock on-stage, and Licorice Pizza winning zero awards, the 2023 Academy Awards is certain to include shocks that don't align with the industry's predicted winners.
Now that the official 2023 Oscars nominations have been announced, predictions beforehand about nominations and wins from similar award bodies like the Golden Globes, Critics' Choice Awards, and Satellite Awards gave greater indications as to how the Academy will vote. Across the board, some of the most frequent films favored to win or at least receive nominations at the Oscars include Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Banshees of Inisherin, Tár, Spielberg's The Fabelmans, Top Gun: Maverick, Avatar: The Way of Water, Elvis, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Here's a breakdown of the films favored to win, along with who was actually nominated, in each of the 23 categories at the 2023 Oscars.

The front-runners for the most coveted award for the 2023 Oscars nominations were Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Banshees of Inisherin, and The Fabelmans. These three films have picked up several Best Picture (or equivalent) nods throughout the awards season, which have been translated to the Oscars. However, there are still several critically-beloved movies favored in the top 10 that could've taken home the award.
The Fabelmans won similar awards at TIFF People's Choice, AFI Movies of the Year, and NBR, while receiving nominations at the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards. Likewise, the Irish The Banshees of Inisherin won at the NBI and was nominated at the Golden Globes, Satellite Awards, and Critics' Choice Awards. Everything Everywhere All at Once won a Best Picture equivalent at NBR, AFI Movies of the Year, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, plus nominations at the Gotham Awards, Golden Globes, Indie Spirits, and Critics' Choice. Here's who was actually nominated:
1. The Fabelmans
2. Everything Everywhere All at Once
3. The Banshees of Inisherin
4. Top Gun: Maverick
5. Tár
7. All Quiet on the Western Front

The Best Actor category seemed to already be locked for nominations, but the winner is less clear. The most likely winners for Best Actor at the 2023 Oscars are Colin Farrell for The Banshees of Inisherin, Brendan Fraser for The Whale, and Austin Butler for Elvis. Each of the favorites in the category has already been nominated for the award by other voting bodies, with Brendan Fraser winning at the TIFF Tribute Awards and Colin Farrell winning at the Venice Film Festival.

The Best Actress award was more difficult to predict in recent years at the Academy Awards, but it would be surprising if the 2023 Oscar didn't go to Cate Blanchett for her starring role in Tár. After Blanchett, the favorites to win Best Actress at the 2023 Oscars are Michelle Yeoh for Everything Everywhere All at Once and Michelle Williams for The Fabelmans. These three actresses were all nominated for the same award at the Golden Globes, Critics' Choice, and Gotham Awards, and have each won Best Actress equivalents from various award bodies this season.

2. Michelle Yeoh (EEAAO)
3. Michelle Williams (The Fabelmans)

The Best Director award seems certain to be awarded to Steven Spielberg for The Fabelmans at the 2023 Oscars. After Spielberg, who won Best Director in 1994 for Schindler's List, the favorites to win the award are the Daniels for Everything Everywhere All at Once and Martin McDonagh for The Banshees of Inisherin. These three nominees have already received Best Director nods at the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards, with Spielberg being awarded by the National Board of Review. Here are the 2023 Oscars nominations for Best Director.

5. Ruben Östland (Triangle of Sadness)
In the Best Supporting Actor category, the most likely performer to win the award at the 2023 Oscars is Ke Huy Quan for Everything Everywhere All at Once, which served as his triumphant return to the big screen. The other favorites in the category are Brendan Gleeson for The Banshees of Inisherin. Quan has already won the equivalent of this award from the NYFCC, LAFCA, and Gotham Awards, with Gleeson being awarded by the National Board of Review. Here are the official 2023 Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actor:

5. Brian Tyree Henry (Causeway)
The favorite to win the Best Supporting Actress award at the 2023 Oscars is Kerry Condon for her performance in The Banshees of Inisherin.

Condon received the equivalent SBIFF Virtuoso Award, with Curtis winning the SBIFF Maltin Modern Master Award. Here are the actual 2023 Oscar nominations for Best supporting actress

5. Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever)
The Best Cinematography award is truly up for grabs at the 2023 Academy Awards, though the most probable winner is Elvis, beating out Tom Cruise's Top Gun sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, and The Fabelmans, which despite being favored winners weren't even nominated. The front-runners have all received several nominations and wins in the category throughout the season, including Best Cinematography nods for all three from the Critics' Choice Movie Awards. However, the actual 2023 Oscar nominations for Best Cinematography proved to be very different than predicted.
1. Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths
3. Empire of Light
Following Encanto's win at the 2022 Oscars, the animated film slated to win in the same category at the 2023 award ceremony is Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio. The favored runner-ups for Best Animated Feature Film are Marcel the Shell with Shoes On and the critically acclaimed Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, which means it's likely that the winner won't be based on an original screenplay. Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio received equivalent awards from the LAFCA and CFCA, and all three animated films were nominated at the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards. Here are the 2023 Oscar nominations for Best Animated Feature Film.

The predicted most likely winner for Best Animated Short Film at the 2023 Academy Awards is New Moon, which won the same award at the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, SCAD Savannah Film Festival, and French Riviera Film Festival. Taika Waititi's Save Ralph and Apple TV's The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse also had high odds to win the award, with the former having won the prestigious Grand Prix for Good award at the Cannes Lions Awards. Save Ralph, however, didn't make the cut. Some surprising 2023 Oscar nominations were made instead.
1. Ice Merchants
2. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
3. An Ostrich Told Me the World is Fake and I Think I Believe It
4. The Flying Sailor
5. My Year of Dicks
The Best International Feature Film could have some overlap with the Best Picture category at the 2023 Oscars, as Germany's All Quiet on the Western Front has the best odds of winning the former. Favorites in the Best International Feature Film category also included Decision to Leave (which, despite its commitment to storytelling through costume design, eventually wasn't nominated) and Close. All three films were nominated at the Golden Globes, Critics' Choice Awards, and Hollywood Critics Association Awards, with Close having won the Grand Prix award at the Cannes Film Festival. Here are the 2023 Oscar nominations for Best International Feature Film:
Related: Where Was All Quiet On The Western Front Filmed? Locations Explained

Similar to how the Best Original Song at the 2022 Oscars went to hit singer Billie Eilish for the action movie No Time to Die, the 2023 Oscar award will most likely to go hit singer Lady Gaga for the action movie Top Gun: Maverick. Following Top Gun: Maverick's "Hold My Hand," the favorites to win in this category are "Naatu Naatu" from RRR and "Lift Me Up" from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. All three tunes are nominated for Best Original Song at the Critics' Choice Awards, Golden Globes, and Satellite Awards. The predictions weren't all that far off, and here are the actual 2023 Oscar nominations:
1. "Hold My Hand" (Top Gun: Maverick)
2. "Naatu Naatu" (RRR)
3. "Lift Me Up" (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever)
4. "Applause" (Tell It Like A Woman)
5. "This is a Life" (EEAAO)
Alongside Best Original Song, the Oscar for Best Original Score is one of the most coveted accolades for anyone in the cinematic music industry. Unsurprisingly, the favorite to win the award for Best Original Score at the 2023 Oscars is composer John Williams for Spielberg's The Fabelmans. Others favored to take home the Academy Award were Alexandre Desplat for Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio and Hildur Guðnadóttir for Women Talking. The Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards have given nominations to these three films for Best Score, with each having already won awards from various outlets and voting bodies. However, Pinocchio and Women Talking were both omitted from the final nominees. Here are the final 2023 Oscar nominations for Best Original Score.

Having been a favorite since its release in May 2022, the odds are still in Top Gun: Maverick's favor to win the Oscar for Best Sound. Following Top Gun: Maverick, the top contenders in this category are Elvis and Avatar: The Way of Water. Box office hits Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water have been nominated for the Best Sound equivalent at the Satellite Awards, with Elvis receiving plenty of critical praise for its sound mixing and editing. Here are the 2023 Oscar nominations for Best Sound:
5. The Batman
The favored film to win Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2023 Academy Awards is Women Talking, which is based on Miriam Toews' 2018 novel of the same name. The other most likely contenders in the category were Glass Onion, Rian Johnson's hit sequel to Knives Out, and The Whale. These three movies have been nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay by the HCA, Critics' Choice, and Satellite Awards, though the true story-inspired Women Talking also earned nominations at the Golden Globes and Gotham Awards. Surprisingly though, The Whale was snubbed. Here are the official 2023 Oscar nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay:

The 2023 Oscars' Best Original Screenplay award is favored to go to the Daniels for Everything Everywhere All at Once. Front-runners for the award also include Steven Spielberg for The Fabelmans and Martin McDonagh for The Banshees of Inisherin, the latter of which won the Best Screenplay award at the Venice Film Festival. These movies each received a nomination for the category at Critics' Choice, Golden Globes, HCA, and Satellite Awards. Here are the 2023 Oscar nominations for Best Original Screenplay:
5. Triangle of Sadness
The Oscars' Best Documentaries cover many of the eye-opening aspects of life, with All the Beauty and the Bloodshed being favored to take home the award in 2023. The odds are also good for All That Breathes and Fire of Love, with these films making the 2023 Oscars category a close race. All the Beauty and the Bloodshed won prestigious awards at the Venice Film Festival, National Board of Review, and New York Film Critics Circle, as well as nominations at the Gotham and Satellite Awards. All That Breathes won awards for Best Documentary at the Gotham Awards, Sundance Film Festival, and Cannes Film Festival, with nominations at Satellite, Independent Spirit, and Critics' Choice Documentary Awards.

Leading the odds for Best Documentary Short Film at the 2023 Oscars was The Flagmakers, followed by Nuisance Bear and 38 at the Garden. The Flagmakers won Best Documentary Short at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival and the audience award at the Denver International Film Festival. All three shorts have received nods at the Critics Choice Documentary Awards, which made their Oscars chances more likely. However, none featured among the nominees. Here are the final 2023 Oscar nominations for Best Documentary Short Film:
1. The Martha Mitchell Effect
2. Haulout
3. How Do You Measure a Year?
4. The Elephant Whisperers
5. Stranger at the Gate
The frontrunner for the Best Film Editing category is Joseph Kosinski's Top Gun: Maverick, though the odds that Everything Everywhere All at Once takes home the award are almost equally strong. Elvis is also a top contender for the editing award at the 2023 Oscars, making for a close race. Top Gun: Maverick won Best Film Editing at the Saturn Awards, with nominations from Satellite and Critics' Choice Awards. Everything Everywhere All at Once has been nominated in this category at the Satellite, Saturn, Independent Spirit Awards, and Critics' Choice Awards. Elvis won Best Editing at the AACTA Awards and is also nominated in the category at the Critics' Choice Awards. Here are the official 2023 Oscar nominations for Best Film Editing:

Costume design is key to placing audiences in a certain era, mood, or world, with Catherine Martin's accurate costume design for Elvis receiving the highest chance of winning an Oscar for her work. Following Elvis, the frontrunners for Best Costume Design at the 2023 Academy Awards are Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Babylon. Throughout the awards season, these top contenders have received several nominations from prestigious organizations, thus increasing their chances to win the Oscar. Here are the 2023 Oscar nominations for Best Costume Design:
2. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
5. Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris
Biopics and period pieces tend to fare well in the Best Makeup and Hairstyling category, though it's Darren Aronofsky's adaptation of the play The Whale that has the best odds of winning at the 2023 Oscars. The Whale has received nominations in the category from the Critics' Choice Awards and Hollywood Critics Association Creative Arts Awards. Also strong contenders for Best Makeup and Hairstyling are The Batman and Elvis, the latter of which won in this category at the AACTA Awards. Here are the official 2023 Oscar nominations for Best Makeup and Hairstyling:

UBS Fund Management have advised that it will be merging its UBS (Lux) Equity Fund–Taiwan (the 'merging' fund) into the UBS (Lux) Equity SICAV–Asian Small Companies fund on 29 October 2015.
The net assets of the merging fund have fallen to a level which no longer allows the fund to be managed in an economically reasonable manner. In addition, both the merging fund and the Asian Small Companies fund are managed by the same portfolio manager and therefore UBS feel it is in investors' best interests to merge the two funds together.
The UBS (Lux) Equity SICAV–Asian Small Companies fund is not part of the fund menu available to Oracle, Paragon and Quantum, and as we do not plan to add the fund to the ranges it will be necessary to switch holdings into an alternative fund that is currently available before the merger completes.
The alternative fund we have selected is the JPMorgan Taiwan (USD), a single country fund also investing in Taiwanese companies.
When UBS issued the merger notification on 18 September 2015, they also took the decision to immediately close the merging fund to further subscriptions. Therefore, we can no longer accept any premiums into the fund from existing or new investors. For investors who are currently paying regular premiums into the fund, we have had to immediately redirect their future premium payments into the JPMorgan Taiwan (USD) fund to ensure continued investment of premiums.
Around the 12 October 2015, we will switch policyholder's existing unit holdings from the merging fund into the JPMorgan Taiwan (USD), to ensure all holdings are transferred out before the redemption cut-off date.
If policyholders, or appointed investment advisers, are not happy with holdings being transferred into the JPMorgan Taiwan fund they can choose to switch into any other fund available free of charge.
They can provide alternative instructions either by submitting a completed Fund switch instruction form, or if registered a registered user of our Online Service Centre and fund switching facility, conducting a switch and premium redirection online. All switches are free of charge.
We have issued letters to any Oracle, Paragon and Quantum policyholders affected by the merger. Where an investment adviser is appointed, they will receive our notification instead of the policyholder. Servicing financial advisers attached to these policies will receive a copy of the letter for their information.


I love writing; whether it is an essay, creative piece, or ranting about my day, I can always turn towards writing to clear my head. Since I've come to college, it's harder to carve out time in my day to write. I decided to write for the Odyssey for this reason but I have learned I let my writer's block and procrastination get in the way of me finishing my articles. Throughout the week, I think of so many different things I could write about but whenever I try to sit down, I get writer's block. So, instead of working on the piles of homework I have or writing, I procrastinate like most other college students. Here is my list of ways I procrastinate and do everything except write my Odyssey articles.


On Saturday 26th January over 200 people took to the streets of Halesowen to demand the reinstatement of four members of the Maths department who had been sacked. On a cold day, with snow on the ground, there was a fantastic array of banners and placards showing how far people had come to express solidarity with the Halesowen 4.
Music and speeches made for a carnival atmosphere as trade unionists, educators, students and members of the local community assembled outside the gates of Halesowen College.
The reason that these sackings have caught so many peoples' attention was highlighted in many of the speeches. Educators realize that if these unprecedented dismissals, based solely on student outcomes, are allowed to go unchallenged then no teacher is safe. Any college, school or university can ignore local and national agreements and tear up contracts because they can apply any arbitrary measure to isolated sets of student results, ignoring other outcomes that may not suit their purpose, in order to justify sacking staff. This notion of sacking at will is not only a very real fear in education but across all areas of working life and that is why there were so many different unions on the march showing their support. UCU, NUT, Unison, NASUWT and PCS along with Dudley, Wolverhampton , Shropshire and Telford Trades Councils are just a selection of those who attended that I can remember.
We now have to wait for the result of the UCU ballot for industrial action within the college, due out on Monday 28 January. I hope that my colleagues have found the courage that they have shown me so often in the past to stand up to the bullying management at the college. If the result is for action then they can be confident that they will have the support of the union nationally and from the wider labour movement.
Brilliant turn out and shameful of the BBC to say it was 30 - look at the length in that picture above alone!
This really could be any of us, particularly in education, so it was great to see so much solidarity with the Halesowen 4.
Members of UCU at Halesowen College will take strike action next Thursday (Valentine's Day) as part of their increasingly bitter dispute over the sacking of four maths lecturers.
The row started with the dismissal of maths lecturer and UCU branch chair Dave Muritu days before Christmas. Since then three other maths lecturers (also active union members) have been sacked and lost their appeals three of them this week.. In last week's strike ballot, three-quarters (75%) of UCU members who voted backed the call for strike action.
'Staff at Halesowen will be on strike next week because of the way the college has dismissed staff. It simply cannot treat people like this and use them to mask its own failings.
'At all the appeals the employer did not have enough evidence against the individuals to dismiss them and used students' failure to achieve certain levels of attainment as the basis for sacking them. Not only is this unfair, but it threatens all lecturers' jobs at the college.
So it does actually seem like this is a union branch capable of organising a strike.
Do we know if there's a history of strike action in the branch? Does much initiative come from the rank-and-file or is it a just a dedicated group of lay/local reps? How about the other unions on campus? I can presume members are instructed to go to work, but have there been individual and/or collective refusals to cross picket lines?

'Rebooting' not quite the right word
John Lum
Re "Star School 'rebooting,' not closing, pastor says in update," April 18:
The philosophical issue underlying Star of the Sea School's (SSS) closing is similar to that of a public school wanting to reconstitute as an alternative school or as a charter school. First, there is a definition problem. No buts about it. The present SSS will be closed; the new SSS will be created. "Rebooting" is not quite the appropriate word to use here. The present SSS, supposedly, serves the entire Star of the Sea parish. The new SSS will serve a much wider, but less deep clientele, i.e., just those within Star of the Sea Parish who want only a classic education, but, certainly it will not serve ALL SSS elementary students within its boundary.
Second, it is somewhat incongruent for a diocesan priest not to service all students in his assigned parish, but only those who want a "classic" education, whatever that means at the elementary school level. I went to Catholic schools all 16 years, and I learned all my church Latin by 6 years of age, becoming the youngest altar boy (the term "altar server" didn't exist then) at my parish, starting in the second grade, and I was lousy in Latin in high school. So much for a classical education at the elementary school level.
Next, at another level, there is some uneasy feeling I get about the fact being made that the Irish and Italian parishioners of old have gone. While there has been a population change, I didn't feel any decline in religious fervor with new non-Italian and non-Irish populations in my 25 years there as a parishioner, when Father Illo arrived, and fast became known for eliminating female altar servers and not wanting to give blessings to non-Catholics.
There were other minor incidents, and the result was that I was getting more and more uncomfortable at Star of the Sea Church. I finally changed parishes after about a year.
The whole point of all this discussion is that both SSS and Star of the Sea parish want to promote an exclusionary sense of Catholicism, rather than an inclusionary one. For example, the concept of only male altar servers is retrograde. Does God want to withhold grace for females that male altar servers get? If females are a source of some kind of near occasion of sin to male servers, is there no such thing as near occasion of grace that females get from serving Mass? Didn't we just read in Catholic San Francisco about a female altar server influencing an atheist into becoming a Catholic? Are we supposed to disallow nuns from serving Mass when no male servers are available at early Masses?
Does "Suffer the little children to come to me" now change to "Suffer only male altar servers and classical studies students to come to me"?
There's going to have to be some explaining to do when we all meet our maker.
It appears to me that if Father Illo and Archbishop Cordileone want a specialized classical Catholic elementary alternative school in San Francisco, they ought to let Star of the Sea remain being a true inclusive parish, and set up a separate elementary classics school somewhere else that is not tied to any one parish.

Ferenc Veress  (1 September 1832, Kolozsvár - 3 April 1916, Kolozsvár) was a Hungarian photographer and inventor.

Biography
He became involved in photography through Baron , an amateur daguerreotypist, whose wife was related to wife. His first solo album featured portraits of notable Transylvanian people.

In 1852, he opened his own studio in Kolozsvár. It soon became a gathering place for members of the local creative community; such as the writer, Mór Jókai, the painter, Mihály Munkácsy, the scholar, Sámuel Brassai and the poet, . In 1858, he opened a joint art and photography studio with his friend, the painter György Vastagh.

He wrote an article in 1862, for the magazine Ország Tükre (roughly: "Reflections on the Nation"), suggesting that daguerreotypes should be preserved in museums. Three years later, he became an official photographer for the , but it wasn't until 1874 that the Hungarian National Museum made photographs a part of their collection. In 1880, the first photography exhibition took place at the Hall of Art, Budapest. The following year, he became a lecturer in photography at the local university. He began publishing a magazine in 1882, Fényképészeti Lapok (Photographic Journal), with financial support from his old mentor, Baron Apor. It was published until 1888.

By 1890, he was in financial trouble and was forced to rent part of his studio. Five years later, he made an appeal to what were then over 400 photographers in Hungary; to capture the landscapes, buildings and famous people of their country and establish a single, national collection. He attempted to enlist the help of the railways in providing free transportation for the project, but was unsuccessful, and the photographic societies remained indifferent, so he proposed setting up a "Photographers' Cooperative".

By 1897, he had given up his studio entirely, although he continued the experiments with color that he had been conducting since 1881. His last known photographs date from 1911. His son, , became a well known painter.

Improve and stay a step ahead: Kohli shares success ...
Improve and stay a step ahead: Kohli shares success mantra with Iqbal
Tags: India, Bangladesh, Virat Kohli, Tamim Iqbal Khan
Bangladesh one-day skipper Tamim Iqbal praised Indian captain Virat Kohli, and termed him the cricketer responsible for raising the fitness and discipline standards in international cricket.
In a Facebook chat with Kohli, Iqbal opined that earlier cricketers used to look at athletes from other sports for inspiration when it came to fitness levels, but that has changed thanks to Kohli.
"There were times when we honestly looked up to different athletes from different sports regarding how fit they are or how disciplined they are. But now I can proudly say that we have our own, from our cricketing family which is you. Thank you very much for entertaining us," Iqbal told the Indian skipper.
It is a known fact that Kohli started paying serious attention to his fitness and discipline after a poor IPL 2012 during which he wasn't taking things too seriously. Kohli revealed that former India coach Duncan Fletcher made his realise the importance of being professional.
Speaking about his stupendous on-field success, Kohli attributed the same to working hard and having confidence in one's ability. "To be honest, I never doubted myself in game situations. Everyone who is human has doubts and weaknesses. Have their negatives. So in practice during tours, if you haven't had a good session you feel you don't have that flow," the Indian captain explained.
"Yes, doubts creep in then and it's at the back of your mind. Key is to keep going and get into that zone till you feel that it was just distraction. If I believe I am good enough, then I am good enough," he went on to add.
He further told Iqbal that the key to succeed consistently is to keep improving so that you are always one step ahead of the opponent. If you allow the opposition to read your game, then things get tougher.
"My advice is even if you try a lot in practice, do try out new things in one or two games to check if it works or not. Because if you execute it under pressure in match situations then you get a different kind of confidence. Practice prepares you but execution in match makes you confident," Kohli said.
"Key is to have an open mind when it comes to improvising. I hear a lot of players say this is my natural game and I play like this but if opposition figures you out, you have to improve and stay a step ahead. Learn, process information and execute," he added.
Kohli is presently considered among the greatest batsmen in the game for his ability to deliver under pressure, particularly in big chases.

Le Printemps des Laboratoires #3
Reading Workshop "Performing Opposition" #2
Thursday 30 October 2014, 4-6 pm
This year, a new series of reading workshops will allow us to look collectively at the issue of "Performing opposition", which will also serve as the title of the next Printemps des Laboratoires, an international event that will be held in June 2015 at les Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers.
For this second meeting, we will continue our exchanges about Michel Guet's book, L'infini saturé: espaces publics, pouvoirs, artistes, and start to understand together a new text, Technology and Ideology: the case of the telegraph by James Carey (text in English)
Performing Opposition
Remarkable oppositions are born in public spaces. Oppositions reconfigure the actions that are performed there either by artists or by activists, whose work makes these places visible.Through antagonistic situations which give rise to different forms of opposition, protest, appropriation and creation, open, shared places are created. These are the public spaces we wish to examine.
This series of 15 text analysis workshops will explore various contexts such as the demonstrations and uprisings that have been gathering steam over the last ten years and virtual space on the internet which has largely shifted the public space paradigm; it constitutes a tool to support and spread these revolts as well as a reserve of information and source of private data and the ideal platform for control.
We are interested in how artists work directly on these questions, leaving behind the realm of art institutions and favouring public spaces that contain the questions or let them overflow, inventing forms of protest and confrontation as tools of shared radical experience.
The reading workshops are open to all. They take place every two weeks, on Thursdays, between 4 to 6 pm, on inscription. To get the texts and the summaries of the sessions, as well as to participate, contact Clara Gensburger at c.gensburger@leslaboratoires.org
Dates: Thursdays 16 and 30 October, 13 and 27 November, 11 December, 8 and 22 January, 5 and 19 February, 5 and 19 March, 2, 16 and 30 April (from 4 pm to 6 pm)


Click the button below to add the Aprilaire Model 700 Whole House Humidifier to your wish list.
The Aprilaire Model 700 Whole-House Humidifier features truly automatic control, so there's never a need to manually control the humidifier—though it can be installed in manual mode, if desired. Please be aware that the model code 700A is no longer used. Aprilaire has renamed the unit to 700. The new Aprilaire 700 Whole-House Bypass humidifier replaces the older 700A. The 700A is no longer available. * The 700 is for vertical use ONLY. This unit can NOT be used with horizontal applications.
The Digital Control provides accurate information and automatically delivers proper humidity levels continually; regardless of temperature or conditions.
Know your relative humidity - Backlit display provides the current humidity level in your home.
Know when your system is running - The green light clearly indicates that your humidifier is up, running and protecting your home, comfort and health.
Know when to replace the water panel - The "smart" feature measures usage of your water panel, rather than simply relying on the calendar. The yellow light lets you know when it's time for replacement.
Know immediately when service is needed - In the unlikely event that there is a issue the red clearly indicates that there is a problem, while the digital display provides the service code that your dealer can use to isolate the problem saving time and money.
The Wholesale Wharehouse has the best pricing for this humidifier!! I installed it myself and it was pretty easy, if you can follow directions anyone can do it. It uses way less water then the one on my old heating system. I would recommend this to anyone who's in the market for one.

Positive models...please
An overall reflection on the direction in which Industry 4.0, workers and the digital world are headed, in Italy and beyond.
The "protagonists of the fourth industrial revolution" and their stories in the factories of the future. That was the topic of Avio Aero's traditional end-of-year event, held in Rome at the end of November. The starting point for discussions was the book "The New Wrench", written by Edoardo Segantini, journalist for Il Corriere della Sera. Among the 14 stories he tells is that of Serena Barbieri, a young engineer who works in the Avio Aero facility dedicated to additive manufacturing. She was also one of the evening's attendees. Together with Segantini, Paolo Boccardelli, Director of Luiss Business School and Stefano Firpo, Director General of Industrial Policy, Competition and SMEs at the Ministry of Economic Development, also sparked a rich exchange of ideas on new generations and professions, on skills being transformed alongside the industrial landscape and on the search for new educational models for the workers of tomorrow. Below you can see the comments and new ideas for reflection from the journalist and author of the book, which we gathered during the event.
"Presenting your own book is a useful and laborious opportunity for discussion and listening. It's like writing it all over again. This is just how I felt after being invited to Rome by Avio Aero to present 'The New Wrench. Stories of the people in the factories of the future', published by Guerini. Paola Mascaro, Communications and PA leader for Avio Aero, led a compelling discussion focused on the issues and relevant to our times. Interesting speeches were made by my interlocutors, Director General at the Ministry of Economic Development Stefano Firpo and Luiss Business School Director Paolo Boccardelli.
I wouldn't want to try and summarize a debate that was so rich in ideas, reflections and nuances. Instead I will pick up some of the issues this debate led me to reflect on. First of all, however, I'd like to spend a bit of time talking about what my book is and what it is not. First and foremost it is an investigative journey, lasting more than a year, into the Fourth Industrial Revolution, seen through people and not through machines. A handful of men and women on different rungs of the hierarchical and social ladder, who have a few traits in common. They love their jobs. They like a good challenge. They know how to work in a team. They keep themselves up-to-date: alternating between school and work is in their blood, as we mentioned during the discussion. They are not, however, cartoon heroes, figurines that make up a perfect Industry 4.0 collector's album. They are real men and women. They have celebrated triumphs and suffered setbacks.
I chose their stories because I think we could all do with positive role models. These days, incorrect views and depressing beliefs are everywhere, partly down to us in the media. Humans are destined to be pushed further and further to the edges of the production process. Industry in Italy is dying. Alternating between school and work is a trap that harms young people. This is fake news, or rather fake views, and yet it is everywhere, driven by a depressed country in a bad mood. A country that looks upon any positive predictions with suspicion.
When I saw a group of young people interrupting the opening ceremony of the academic year at the excellent Bicocca University in Milan with a protest, I thought perhaps we haven't managed to explain to young people the world of business, work and education. Perhaps we haven't even tried. I believe we need positive models, because the evolution of technology in the workplace doesn't depend on fate, but on us. That's why I felt it was important to highlight how, in the best companies (those that provide opportunities for continuous improvement, build competitive supply chains, and increase productivity and responsiveness to increasingly variable markets), people play an increasingly central role. Operators as technicians, managers as entrepreneurs. I am convinced that the successful companies of tomorrow will be those that maximize and increase the creativity of the human element.
In order for this to happen, however, we must make at least two important changes: one to salaries and the other to education. We can't talk about 'enhanced workers' if they are enhanced only in terms of responsibilities and not paychecks. Then comes the challenge of education, which is crucial and which I wanted to focus on even more during my latest book presentations. The lags in the Italian educational system compared to the German one are resounding: only 8% of our workers update their professional skills compared to 30% in Germany. Some things are moving in the right direction: Economic Development Minister Carlo Calenda is introducing a tax credit for those who invest in education and training. Important corporate institutions (such as business academies) and territorial organizations (such as MUNER Motorvehicle University in Italy's Motor Valley) are being born. The Centers for Work-Based Learning under Plan Industry 4.0 have not yet begun, however, while Germany has already launched five out of its fifteen planned centers. Things, in short, are moving, but too slowly, thanks in part to paralyzing bureaucracy.
Finally, I believe that communication should be strengthened in order to inform everyone, young and old, about the business world in the correct terms. Only a good business system can produce jobs, only a good educational system can create useful professional skills, and only a good social system can generate the antidotes to combat old and new inequalities."

Healing Hearts 15: Can't Hurry Love (MFMM)
Healing Hearts 15
Contemporary Menage a Trois/Quatre Romantic Suspense
[Siren Menage Everlasting: Contemporary Menage a Quatre Romantic Suspense Romance, MFMM, HEA]
Nina Voltaro's only wish is to never feel pain and heartache again. She comes to the conclusion that you can't hurry love, and just maybe being loved just isn't meant to be. She's trying to start a new life with help from Francesca combined with her decorating skills. She's determined to start a new business and the last thing she expects is to catch the eyes of three gangster, businessmen who she fears could be just like her ex, Sanford, and rule with fists and force. She avoids them best she can, until she takes on a job for them, witnesses their distrust in women, and learns that there's good reason for their attitudes and distrust. They've been hurt before, and showing any weakness or vulnerability is not something they're willing to risk again.
Combined, all their issues are justified, and they learn that true love can sneak up on them when they least expect it, and they surely can't resist the power of it all. Nina, Costanza, Covaney, and Merdock, soon realize that despite taking so long, love finally came their way. As happiness, and a better life blind them from the dangers lurking, it's too late when Nina's ex returns, ready to seek revenge against the men who destroyed any hope of making money in his criminal life, and he wants them dead, and Nina all to himself once again.

Costanza was heading out of the parking lot and along the main streets of town when his gaze landed on the backside of a sexy woman. She had long, light brown hair, hips and an ass a man could hold on to, and she was petite despite the very high heels she wore. Her figure was sexy as sin, and that pale pink skirt hugged it perfectly. As a few men passed by her, she didn't even acknowledge them, but that didn't stop the men from turning around and getting a look at her ass. When she paused by the café he was planning on stopping into, he was surprised. Maybe he shouldn't stop. Was he in the mood for a little fun? He usually stuck to the same places or just made a phone call and met up with a woman. It had been a while. Months actually. As he pulled the Range Rover into a spot on the street that just opened up, he was shocked when the woman turned. "Nina?" he whispered. His heart began to race. He looked around the place, a feeling of concern immediately filling his chest as he placed the vehicle in park and got out of the Range Rover. He hit the lock button on his key and headed onto the sidewalk.
Why was she out here alone? He was pretty sure she had some sort of incident with an ex, and Francesca was concerned for her well-being. He remembered meeting her that day at the restaurant he was having lunch at with Francesca to talk business. Nina appeared. She was emotional, and right away Francesca excused herself to hug her cousin, and they whispered between one another. Something was wrong. He gathered bits and pieces, and then Hunter mentioned something to Costanza's guard, Quaid, when they were searching for London. Nina was assigned security immediately.
Costanza had instantly been attracted to the young woman, but that was the thing. She was young. He ordered a coffee to go and watched her. She stood out in a crowd, and he wasn't the only man looking. So when two young guys on the prowl approached her, he watched and then a jealous, protective feeling had him moving into action.
"You are way too beautiful to be sitting here all by yourself, honey. Can we join you?" the guy with the blond hair asked.
"She isn't alone," Costanza said, shocking not only the two young guys but Nina, whose face went flush as she pulled off her sunglasses. "Sorry," one of the guys said and gave Nina a wink, tapping his buddy's shoulder, obviously catching sight of the Glock on Costanza's hip under his sport coat. They walked away, and Costanza looked down at Nina.
"Mr. Lopez—"
"What are you doing in Fulton all alone? Shouldn't there be someone with you, protecting you?" he scolded, and she went to speak but then closed her mouth and lowered her head, her hands cupping the coffee cup as if she were cold. It was mid-eighties outside and warm. He scared her, and he felt a mix of emotions. Desire, need, and then guilt.
"Forget it. I'm here," he said and took the seat right next to her. He stared at her, and she looked shocked.
"I was fine. I just came into town for some things and to get a coffee. I love their coffee, and it's too hard to resist the aroma as it filters through the block," she rambled. Her gorgeous green eyes darted around, and then she slowly looked at him.
"Well, you're safe now. I'll have to have a word with Francesca's men about this. You shouldn't be walking about on your own. Someone could try something. Like those two men, or the others who were watching you as you walked. Had you even noticed?" he continued to scold her. She shook her head. He exhaled.
"I'm fine, Mr. Lopez. Really. I was going to leave as soon as I finished this coffee," she said and then placed her small, feminine hand onto the cup. She was feminine, sweet, a delicate young woman who needed protection.
That wasn't his job. He was older, too experienced and demanding. She would definitely be a delicacy to indulge in, but not a fling. No, he wasn't stupid or naive. This woman affected him way too much and instantly.
"So, you mentioned you were in town shopping? Where at?" he asked and took a sip from the to-go cup. His eyes didn't leave hers.
"Umm…the paint store and fabric shop. They're two boutiques that carry upscale items and things for designing ideas, and books," she said and then reached toward the chair with the shopping bags. She pulled out a book and placed it onto the table. She was precious, the way he flustered her, and her reaction was getting to him. She started flipping through the pages.
"My friend Melise, I mean she's really Francesca's friend, but I've been hanging out with them a lot, and well, she asked me to help redecorate her condo. It's very upscale and beautiful. She has unique tastes so this store here in Fulton has great things," she told him.
"Redecorate her condo? You know how to do that?" he asked, his curiosity about this young woman growing bigger.
"Yes, sir. It's what I went to college for, and what I was doing when I graduated."
Holy shit. The way she called him sir had his body reacting in a way that surprised him. He should be angry for being attracted to such youth and energy. He wasn't though. Women threw themselves at him and his brothers not only because of their fortune but because of their good looks, and their demanding appetites. Why the fuck did he just think of his brothers, too? Why with her? No, never again would they engage in a ménage and not even one with no strings, just sex. Never again. It was a vulnerability that could have cost them everything.
Nina was huddled against the passenger door, shaking and it hit Costanza even harder. "Shit," he whispered and pulled off his jacket, covered Nina with it, and then lifted her up and onto his lap. He caressed her cheek, felt the dampness there, and he knew she was so scared. He pressed his lips to her forehead and her cheek. He held her until they got to their estate on the water. The gates opened, the security system high tech, never mind the men who got to the house immediately and swept the place with Quaid. When the SUV stopped, and they got out. Nina stood by him.
"You should take me home. I should go."
"You aren't going anywhere," he stated firmly, taking her hand and guiding her along the pathway to the front door.
"But, Costanza, you could have been killed. Your security, innocent people on the streets, could have been killed because of me."
"No, it was a warning. The bullets were blanks," Merdock stated, straight-faced as they all entered their home. Covaney pulled off his tie.
"Marc, Don, take care of what Merdock and Covaney asked. We'll be upstairs," he said and then led her up the staircase, glass overlooking the ocean and night sky all the way to the top floor. He brought her into his bedroom.
"Where are you hurt?" he asked her, as he undid his tie.
Tears spilled from her eyes. "Bring me to the cottage, Costanza. Please before he tries to kill you. Please. I don't want anything to happen to you because of me."
"Enough!" He raised his voice and stepped closer. He slowly took off the jacket from around her as his brothers closed the bedroom door and then began to undress.
She glanced at them and then at him as the jacket fell. He cupped her cheek and neck, stared down into her glistening eyes and his heart raced. "You're staying the night. Hell, we aren't letting you out of our sights. You're our woman now, Nina. We protect what is ours."
"But Sanford."
"Will suffer soon enough. Now no more talk of him. The evening was going perfectly. You were coming back with us, to be with us, to make love with us, and that is what's going to happen." He pressed his lips to hers and began to pull her into his arms. His brothers joined in. He felt them, felt that power between them, yet somehow it was stronger than ever before. He heard her zipper fall and she moaned into his mouth, then gasped as the dress fell. He released her lips.
"She's all bruised up. I'm sorry, baby. I was worried, and I reacted," Covaney told her and started to kiss her shoulder and back. Costanza and Merdock looked at her full breasts, her tiny waist, the belly ring and her little black panties she wore under her sexy black dress. Covaney kissed her other shoulder.
"Say yes to making love and staying the night. Say it," he said to her and then lowered to suckle a nipple into his mouth.
"Oh God yes, yes, please."
Her lips parted and she tilted her head back only for Merdock to suckle against her neck. Costanza slid her panties down, then pressed a hand to her ass cheek to balance himself as he lowered to the rug. He tilted his face to her pussy and inhaled as he held her hips.
"This pussy is ours. This body will be all ours forever, Nina. No other men but us. Understood?" he asked and licked along her slit. She was wet, cream dripping as he maneuvered her legs open wider.
"Oh, oh Costanza, that goes for the three of you, too, right? No other women. Oh God please, no other women," she asked.
"No fucking way are we screwing this up with you. This is it. Just the four of us," Merdock said, cupping her breasts from behind her as he rocked his hips and made her purr. Costanza lifted her one thigh up over his shoulder as he slid fingers to her cunt. In and out, she moaned harder, louder.
"Covaney, make sure we have the lube. If we're doing this, we're doing it right," he said to him, and Covaney moved. "Now," Costanza said, pulling fingers from her cunt. Merdock stepped away and got undressed the rest of the way.
Nina was shaking she was so aroused, and incredibly nervous about making love to three men. She wanted them though. She didn't want to think about tonight, about Sanford. She wanted to believe Costanza's promise of protecting her and that his brothers would never let Sanford near her again. So as he lay her on the bed, her naked body fully exposed to him and his brothers, she knew there was no turning back from this. Either a ménage would go down as the second biggest mistake of her life, or these three men were truly her gift from heaven.
Costanza pulled off his clothes, and she looked at Merdock and Covaney who were naked in front of her. Her jaw dropped at the sight, and she practically drooled at all the muscles and holy God, scars. Her eyes took it all in including their thick, long cocks they were stroking while climbing up onto the bed and sliding next to her. Covaney cupped her chin, then stared into her eyes. "You're exceptional, Nina. Absolutely gorgeous. We'll protect you with all we have," he said to her then pressed his lips to hers. Simultaneously Merdock began to suckle her breast on her left side, as palms maneuvered up her thighs spreading her, then pulled her lower to the edge of the bed. She felt the cool air against her pussy and asshole, and she moaned as fingers slid into her cunt. Covaney released her lips and kissed along her shoulder, her arm and then to her breast. She parted her lips, tried to stay in control but they were tag teaming her. Three sets of hands, of mouths, of bodies so close, she was ready to come already. The swipe of Costanza's tongue and the thrust of his fingers brought her gaze to his eyes. She glanced down, his stare too deep, too penetrating and came at the sight. His knuckles to her cunt and fingers dipping in and out made her thrust her hips upward.
"Going slow isn't going to happen," Costanza said and tilted up. Covaney lifted and kissed her lips again then raised her arm above her head. Merdock did the same on her other side, her breasts pushed out, her pelvis tilted. Costanza pressed her thighs apart and aligned his cock with her pussy. He slid it back and forth against her clit. He was so big and thick, and she moaned.

"This is the account of account of the families of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the three sons of Noah. Many children were born to them after the great flood. "
Japheth (14 nations)
10:5 – "From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own languages.
Madai
Meshech
Riphath
Togarmah
These are the people of the north
Elishah
Tarshish
The Kittim
The Rodanim
The people of the sea and the islands of the west, the Mediterranean people
Mentioned in Ezekiel 38:6
The Akkadians called them Gi-mir-ra-a or the Cimmerians
This people migrated through the land
Originally occupied the area north of the Black Sea
Later they invaded the Scythians and moved into the Caucasus mountains
Mentioned in Ezekiels 38and 39
Magog is always against Israel
These are the Medes of the Old Testament.
They lived between the Tigris River and the Caspian Sea
Opposed the Assyrians in the 800's BC
Joined with Persians around 580 BC
They occupied modern northwest Iran
Associated with the Greek tribal name Ionia who lived on the western coast of Asia Minor
In the Old Testament the people of Javan are merchants who trade with the Phoenicians of Tyre in Ezekiel 27:13 and with the Philistines in Joel 4:6.
These are the people who settled southern Greece and western Asia Minor
Javan is mentioned along with Tubal and Meshech in Isaiah 66:19 and Ezekiel 27:13.
Territory is in eastern Anatolia or eastern Turkey
The Akkadian's called them Tabali
Territory is also in eastern Anatolia along with Tubal.
Associated with Muski or Musku in Assyrian texts.
Ancient Egyptian text called them Turasha which is Tyrrhennians.
These are later called the Etruscans of Italy
Some have connected them with ancient Thrace
Lived on the northern Euphrates River in Armenia
The name of these people are called on in Jeremiah 51:27 along with Ararat to rise up against Babylon
They are the Ashkuza (or, Ishguza) who fought the Assyrinas around 675 BC.
The Greek historian Herodotus knows them and calls them Scythians.
They occupied areas north and east of the Black Sea into the steppes of Russia
Most likely also located in the area of Modern Turkey
In Ezekiel 27:14 they export horses to Tyre
In Ezekiel 38:6 they join in with God of Magog's invasion of Israel and is called Beth Togarmah by Ezekiel
In cuneiform this name is Alashiya and refers to the island of Cyrus
The word "tarshish" is related to an Addadian word "rasasu" that means "to smelt or heat" and metals where exported from Tarshish in Ezekiel 27:12.
In the Old Testament this is a port city on the Mediterranean Sea that is a distant location.
Since Tarshish is a son of Javan (Ionian or Greece) then it is easy to see Tarshish as a land or sea port beyond Greece.
Tarshish is mentioned in 1 Kings 10:22, Jeremiah 10:9, Ezekiel 27:12 as a place where silver, iron, tin, lead, ivory, monkeys and peacocks were shipped.
In Jonah 1:3 a ship leaves Joppa and sails west into the Mediterranean Sea for Tarshish.
But, in 1 Kings 10:22; 22:49 and 2 Chronicles 9:21 Solomon's and Jehoshaphat's ships use Ezion-geber as a port to sail out the Red Sea into the Indian Ocean to reach Tarshish.
It appears then that Tarshish could be reached either by going south out the Red Sea or going west through the Mediterranean Sea
Tarshish is a distant sea port probably in Spain but refers sea ports of the western world.
There is a mining village in southwestern Spain called Tartessus.
Kittim is a Phoenician city on the southeast coast of Cyprus called Kition.
Isaiah 23:1 refers to Kittim as a land and Ezekiel 27:6 refers to Kittim as islands.
Balaam's prophecy of Numbers 24:24 makes it clear the Kittim is reached with ships.
In the Old Testament Kittim refers to the far west.
Is assumed to be the island of Rhodes, a large island in the Aegean Sea southwest of Turkey.
The prophecy of chapter 9:27:
"May God extend the territory of Japheth ; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem."
Psalm 72:8, 10
The people of Japheth settled from India across Asia Minor and into southern Europe
One Race
"From one man he made every nation of men that they should inhabit the whole earth."
- Acts 17:26, NIV
The Bible distinguishes people as tribes, clans or national groups since they all come from Noah.
Evolution uses the word "race" which places people groups on different levels of the evolutionary scale.
The DNA difference between any two people is 0.2 %, but of this 0.2% only 6% is due to race (Asian and Caucasian). 85% of this total 0.2% difference between two people occurs within their own race because they are two different people.
How did the different skin colors originate?
We all have the same coloring pigment in our sin called melanin
All skin color is some shade of brown
Melanin protects the skin against ultraviolet damage from the light of the sun.
Too little melanin in a very sunny environment will cause sunburn and skin cancer
Too much melanin with little sunshine will make it difficult to get enough vitamin D which needs sunshine for its production. Result of a vitamin D deficiency is bone disorders.
Before the tower of Babel people lived in the general area of Shinar , spoke the same language and shared a common culture. No borders, no language barriers, no culture differences. Their skin color stayed basically the same because marriage would have been unhindered by borders, language and culture. The confusion of language put these people into pockets which caused limited choices for marriage.
Ham (30 nations)
10:18-20 – "Later the Canaanite clans scattered and the borders of Canaan reached from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorarah, Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. These are the sons of Ham by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations."

10:10 – "The first centers of his kingdom were:
i. Babylon

10:11- "From that land he went to Assyria, where he built:
i. Nineveh
ii. Rehoboth Ir

Shem (Semites) (26 nations)

CLINIC and Other Advocates Urge TPS for Nepal
Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Enforced Departure
In coalition with Nepali organizations based in the United States, including Adhikaar in New York, the National Council of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA) are a part of a nation-wide movement to support humanitarian efforts for Nepal. The massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake that shook Nepal has resulted in mass death and destruction. This devastation and tragedy has touched all of our hearts as the difficult relief efforts have begun.
NCAPA commends the Obama Administration for contributing to urgent relief efforts in Nepal. While the U.S. is directing much-needed relief aid to Nepal, another significant way we can help limit the strain on that country's resources is by designating Nepal for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) under § 244(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

What Steps Should Immigration Practitioners Take Now in Anticipation of a Biden Administration?
The Biden campaign listed a number of immigration-related priorities that his presidency would tackle if elected. Most of these could be accomplished through executive orders, regulations, or changes to policies and procedures rather than requiring legislation.

Q: Can't install ubuntu by USB or from Windows I downloaded Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from official website and then made it to USB by Universal USB installer. Then I restarted laptop and chose "start from USB", but nothing happened except a black screen with a short dash line in the left top corner..
I also tried to install from Windows by wubi. After installation and reboot by choosing ubuntu, it showed "Normal booting"(something like that I can't remember). Then it stopped there and couldn't continue..
Now I use Win 7 Ultimate, memory is 4GB and processor is Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 @2GHz
Really appreciate for your help...

A: Try using Unetbootin and selecting ubuntu 12.04 LTS from the list and making a bootable USB Flash drive that way...  Also, if your laptop has UEFI enabled then either disable it for Ubuntu or make sure you are installing the 64-bit edition so it works with your hardware...
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

A: in order to make a boot-able pen-drive, you better get the software from pendrivelinux.com
and from the drop-down list of the softwre, choose version of Ubuntu(in your case 12.04) and the insert the location of the ISO file. after that click on create.
it will make your pen-drive boot-able.
after that, while starting the system, press F1/F2 (as supported by your BIOS)to enter the setup and set preference to boot from USB drive. Then when you will start your system, it will ask to boot from USB stick, select the option. It will take you to a menu, from where select try/install Ubuntu (as per your choice) and your ubuntu is now ready to use.

An Iroquois County intersection, labeled dangerous and in need of upgrades, is getting the needed attention.
A fatal accident stirred discussion about CH 4 and CH 23 in the Clifton area.
"Three sites we see too many accidents and it affects the community," Lane said. "We need to be proactive and reduce the potential for injury or loss of life."
"This alerts drivers, improves visibility."
Iroquois and Kankakee County officials have been approached about the need to make safety improvements. Lane said a study is looking at Rt 115 and Lehigh Road. Rumble strips are installed. LED devises, many believe, would better-alert drivers.
"A lot of local drivers become complacent; they're too easily distracted and don't see the signs until it's too late. This upgrade will give a heads-up," Lane added.
Iroquois County Board Chairman John Shure says now-approved upgrades should help. Shure also points out, " too many drivers violate the law, and stats also show there's not as many accidents there as first talked about." Now the county engineer has made improved changes, so this should help."
