Gunter Janda (* 22. November 1933; † 16. November 2015 in Wels) war ein römisch-katholischer Priester der Diözese Linz, der aufgrund seiner langjährigen Tätigkeit in der religiösen Erwachsenen- und Weiterbildung besonders in Oberösterreich einen großen Bekanntheitsgrad erlangte.

Leben
Aufgewachsen in Kremsmünster, maturierte er am dortigen Stiftsgymnasium und empfing 1958 die Priesterweihe. Nach Aufgaben als Präfekt, Spiritual und Religionslehrer am Kollegium Petrinum in Linz unterrichtete er jahrzehntelang an der Pädagogischen Akademie der Diözese sowie an der Religionspädagogischen Akademie der Diözese in Linz. 1997 trat Janda in den Ruhestand und lebte seitdem in Kematen am Innbach im Bezirk Grieskirchen.

Ausgehend von seinen Erfahrungen mit jungen Menschen als Religionslehrer, aber auch als Studentenseelsorger, engagierte sich Janda früh in der religiösen Erwachsenen- und Weiterbildung, wo er in Zusammenarbeit mit zahlreichen Pfarren, aber auch mit dem Bildungshaus St. Franziskus in Ried im Innkreis, den Kreuzschwestern und Ämtern der Diözese Linz Impulse für ein christliches Leben in der Gegenwart zu geben versucht. Bekannt wurde er auch durch Exerzitien, Besinnungstage und Gottesdienste für Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene, deren Predigten besonderen Fragen der Zeit gewidmet waren. Ende der 1990er Jahre musste sich Monsignore Janda aufgrund von gesundheitlichen Problemen zeitweise von seiner Tätigkeit zurückziehen. Am 3. April 2000 überreichte ihm Landeshauptmann Josef Pühringer das Silberne Ehrenzeichen des Landes Oberösterreich.

Gunter Janda starb am 16. November 2015, wenige Tage vor seinem 82. Geburtstag, in Wels. Das Requiem wurde am 21. November 2015 im Linzer Dom gefeiert, anschließend erfolgte die Beisetzung in der Priestergrabstätte der Diözese Linz am St. Barbara-Friedhof in Linz.

Crazy World: Mum was a male bodybuilder...
Published Tuesday, March 15, 2011
Mum was a male bodybuilder
(AGENCY)
A bodybuilding father has transformed himself into a glamorous woman after struggling with his gender for years.
Transgender Chrisie Edkins, 31, had spent hours in the gym - bulking up to 16stone - in an attempt to convince himself he was a typical alpha male.
But in private, Chris, who is 6ft, had been dressing as a woman for years - and in 2003, bravely decided to go public with his new identity and become Chrisie, reports Daily Mail.
A full-time carer to her daughter Chloe, nine, Chrisie has faced a backlash from outraged neighbours and even been physically assaulted after announcing she was going to live as a woman.
But Ms Edkins, from Southampton, is adamant that being a woman doesn't stop her from being a good father, says the daily.
She was quoted by the paper as saying: 'My daughter is amazingly understanding of my new life as a woman. She's only nine but she's so mature for her age - more so than most adults.
'I did worry what effect me being Chrisie would have on her, but I think that having a happy parent is more important that having a male parent.
'My sex doesn't determine how good a parent I am, and it's taught Chloe to be accepting and understanding of other people.
'She knows not to judge people by what they look like.
'She has been teased a bit at school - but she can take it all in her stride. She just turns round to the bullies and tells them, 'My dad wants to be a girl", and they don't have a clue what to say back to her.'
When Chloe was born, Chrisie was Chris the mechanic. He also worked as an electrician and once ran a limousine business - where he was inundated with attention from women on hen nights.
But after years of being unhappy with her identity, Chrisie decided to make the leap, the paper revealed.
Now a svelte 10.5stone, she has had make-up tattooed onto her face, hair extensions, as well as having laser hair treatment and hormone therapy - followed by a boob job giving her a 34D chest.
But despite her feminine looks, Chrisie insists that Chloe still calls her dad, rather than mum.
Paedo at the fair
BRITAIN: John Wrey gazes at kiddies in a fairground - just three years after he was convicted of sickening child rapes.
The 54-year-old paedophile was seen strolling past rides and staring at children as he spent hours wandering around a busy city centre.
Wrey, part of a paedophile gang, was jailed for 5½ years for a string of horrific sex offences.
The judge branded Wrey "disgusting" - and caged the gang for a total of 50 years for abusing 28 girls as young as five.
But Wrey, from Hayle, Cornwall, served just three years before being freed on licence.
On one outing he left at 9.30am, signed in at a probation office and walked into the city centre.
He was seen staring at kids on funfair rides before visiting a Tesco and going back to his hostel.
On another day he visited the Plymouth Hoe tourist area, glaring sideways through sunglasses at a little girl.
The Probation Service said: "Sex offenders released from prison on licence are monitored by the Probation Service and police, and can be recalled to custody if they breach their conditions.
Snake dies from silicone poisoning after biting model
It should have been an alluring photoshoot between two of nature's beautiful creatures as a model wrapped herself in a snake.
But surgically enhanced model Orit Fox got more than she bargained for when the massive boa constrictor took objection to her over familiarity and reacted by biting into her breast.
However, it was the snake who came off worse because, while Fox need a tetanus shot in hospital, the reptile later died from silicone poisoning.
The B-list model and actress initially looked comfortable during the shoot, wrapping the huge snake around her legs, waist and neck while doing her best to look sexy.
In a figure hugging red and white striped dress, which revealed maximum cleavage, she gamely tried to take their bonding to the next level by licking the snake's face.
As she maneurvered the animal into position for the 'kiss', Fox loosened her grip on its neck, and after being licked the reptile reacted angrily.
It aimed straight for Fox's prized assets and sunk its teeth deep into her left breast.
She let out a high-pitched scream, as did a voice off camera who appeared to be directing the shoot.
An assistant rushed in to help her pull the snake off and after a few seconds of struggle the creature released its grip.
The peroxide-blonde model was rushed to a nearby hospital and given a tetanus shot.
However, the snake wasn't so lucky and died from silicone poisoning.
Mother sues pre-school over 'complete fraud'
MANHATTAN: A miffed mother has sued a pre-school, claiming it was not sophisticated enough for her four-year-old daughter and failed to properly prepare the tyke for New York City's elite primary schools.
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Nicole Imprescia claimed her daughter Lucia was forced to spend time with lesser-minded two-year-olds and was being taught colours and shapes instead of focusing on test preparation while attending York Avenue Preschool.
The school told Imprescia it would "prepare her daughter for the ERB, an exam required for admission into nearly all the elite private elementary schools," but as time went on, "it became obvious that defendant's promises were a complete fraud," the suit says.
"Indeed, the school proved not to be a school at all, but just one big playroom," the suit continues.
"In one instance, plaintiff's daughter, who at the time was four - perhaps the most important year for a pre-schooler, just shy of taking the ERB - was dumped with two-year-olds," the suit says.
Also at age four, the school was "still teaching plaintiff's daughters about shapes and colors," the suit claims. "In other words, there was no 'curriculum designed for a specific age group' also as promised."
School owner Michael Branciforte declined to comment, except to say Imprescia's suit was a "first" in the school's 30 years in business.
The suit seeks the return of Imprescia's $19,000 advance payment to the school because they engaged in "fraudulent misrepresentation".
Teen tricked into marrying grandpa tapper
THAILAND: A teenager'S dream of marrying a good-looking young man was shattered when her groom was not the 30-year-old bank officer she had fantasised about, but a 63-year-old rubber tapper, reported Harian Metro.
The 18-year-old girl, who works at a supermarket in Kulim, said she got to know the elderly man last October after he purportedly dialled her number by mistake.
The calls became more frequent and the man went to the extent of topping up the girl's phone credit and putting money into her younger sister's bank account for shopping and other needs.
The teenager, who only gave her name as Lis, said the man claimed he was a 30-year-old bank officer and still single.
"After several weeks we agreed to get married in Thailand," said Lis.
It was then she found out that the groom was not the one she imagined to be, but a grandfather who had been married four times before with children aged seven months to 30 years!
Lis said she declined to have the marriage consummated and asked to be separated after four days.
On returning to Kulim, she lodged reports against the man at the police station and the religious department.

HPM Professor Discusses American Healthcare
Brianna Colletti '21/The Cowl
Louis Pugliese Gives a Patient Perspective of Our Health System
by Sabrina Guilbeault '18
Last Thursday, the Providence College health policy and management department celebrated the return of professor Louis Pugliese, as he discussed his journey through the American healthcare system. After being diagnosed with leukemia two years ago, Pugliese is cancer free and is back teaching.
"I'm going to get emotional," shared Pugliese at the start of the conversation. "It was a challenging two years." He explained that after his more than 40-year tenure in working within the healthcare system and teaching health policy at Brown University, Salve Regina University, and PC, it was interesting to gain a patient's perspective on the American healthcare system.
"Healthcare has been my career," said Pugliese. "When I became a patient, all the knowledge from my career paid off in huge dividends."
Just as he starts each of his classes, Pugliese started his discussion by playing a song. The words of the song he played, "We Are How We Treat Each Other When the Day is Done" by the Alternate Routes, were echoed throughout his story with an emphasis on being kind and treating people as people.
Pugliese, who attended high school at La Salle Academy and played basketball in Alumni Hall growing up, explained that his journey began in 2015 when he discovered blisters on his finger that would not go away. After visiting his primary care provider, he soon would learn that the blisters were not just a reaction to the cold weather but a reaction to leukemia.
After visiting an oncologist, Pugliese would be told that 95 percent of his blood had cancer.
Throughout his conversation, Pugliese often looked to his wife Charlene Pugliese to help tell his story. "When you're with someone for that long, it's like your one person," he said while holding her hand.
He then explained how his diagnosis became real when, just two weeks into the semester, he had to tell his health policy and management class his news. "When I told my students, it became a reality to me," Pugliese said. "I had this terrible disease, and all the esteemed kind of things that come with being a human came to a halt."
Throughout his time as a teacher of health policy, Pugliese would discuss with his students the concept of bedside manner. Bedside manner can be defined as a doctor or medical professional's attitude or approach toward a patient. "I taught my students good bedside manner," explained Pugliese. "It's about being able to look someone in the eyes and tell them bad news or good news."
Pugliese experienced his first interaction of "bad bedside manner" upon seeing his first oncologist. He explained his doctor was data driven as he explained the percentage of people his age who would survive this kind of cancer. "It was dehumanizing," he said, "and this was my first exposure to healthcare as a patient."
"The things he said and how he said it were disheartening," said Pugliese, who went onto explain just how important good bedside manner is as it affects the patient's overall experience.
Pugliese would not let this interaction keep him from looking at the bright side. He explained he has goals that kept him going, including being able to teach again and walking his grandchild to school. He even created an uplifting playlist that he would listen to that became "food for his soul." "To get myself back to where I needed to be, I drew on my music and the support of my family," he said.
Pugliese explained that chemotherapy, although a lifesaving drug, is a brutal experience. "What chemotherapy does is kill just about every cell alive in your body," he said. "By day three or four you feel the effects of it, and your body knows something is going on."
It was the support from his family that Pugliese credits for helping him get his physical strength back. "My family was there all the time, it was a huge deal," he said. He also shared how an old friend visited him every single day in the hospital and that this act of kindness allowed him to find strength.
His story and journey continued from there and included moving hospitals, connecting with old students to get the best care, and listening to the advice of his daughter. It was his reflection that showed just how thankful he was for his knowledge on the healthcare system before becoming a patient.
"Patients need to know the right information," said Pugliese. "Teaching and working in healthcare gives you an idea of what kind of questions to ask." He went on to say that throughout his whole experience, he was very impressed by the dedication of all his nurses.
Almost exactly two years after his diagnosis, Pugliese is back at PC. "I believe a higher energy has a plan for me, and that's why I am back here to teach," he said. "I feel like I have a second chance."
"Nobody knows what tomorrow is going to bring, and I find that I like that very much," Pugliese said. This was the first time Pugliese was given the opportunity to share his story, and he explained it was very therapeutic. "I consider myself a lucky man more now than ever before," he said.

Episode 36 Recap
Nasser reveals he's concerned about taking on the role of stepfather
'I've dated women with kids and it's not easy.'
When Gabrielle met Nasser she was immediately drawn to his larger than life personality, while he was stunned by her beauty and elegance. It looked like it was a perfect match, but on their photoshoot Gabrielle revealed some personal details that had Nasser contemplating their union.
"You been married before?" Nasser queried, to which Gabrielle revealed she had. But it was the revelation that she also had an 11-year-old daughter that freaked out her new husband.
"My mind automatically goes into this position, 'oh, ok, there's a daughter there, there's an ex hanging around and sometimes that ex is not a nice person', I'm concerned about that. That's a hurdle, still processing," Nasser explained.
And that was just the start of Nasser's concerns for the night. Upon arriving at the reception, Gabrielle's twin sister, Kerrie, had some serious questions for the groom, ranging from why he'd never been married before to what his "intensions" were with his new bride.
Kerrie wasn't convinced by Nasser's answers, revealing to camera that she didn't think he was the "kind of guy that Gab needs. I'm not quite sure that he's really willing to take on the child."
Surprisingly, Nasser was thinking along the same lines, telling his friends that he was worried about the prospect of being a step-father. "It's massive challenge," he told his friends. "I've dated women with kids and it's not easy, I'm at my age and I'm like is there anyone single with no children?"
Luckily his best men offered some words of wisdom. "You're 50, it's not about you, it's about 'us', where relationships fail is when it's 'me, me, me,' you need to be thinking about her," one said wisely.
Here's hoping that Nasser takes their advice in his stride.

"Live long and prosper." Most people are familiar with the Vulcan greeting of Mr. Spock in the television series "Star Trek," which debuted in 1966 and went off the air just one month before Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. Growing up in Decatur, Illinois, Robert Dennis was fascinated by "Star Trek" and its vision of outer space and space travel.
Both the reality of the moonwalk and the fantasy of "Star Trek" fueled Dennis' desire to be an astronaut. Unfortunately, poor eyesight and a growth spurt dashed his hopes of physically traveling in outer space.
But he could still dream about it.
"I realized right then that if I couldn't get into space as an astronaut, then maybe I could go to California and make a movie about space," he says.
To do that, he would have to do more than dream. He would have to learn the art and science of cinematography.
So Dennis set his sights on SIU.
During his first few days on campus, two things surprised him. The first was a professor who announced to a room full of new students that "if you are in this class to get a job in Hollywood, you may as well walk right out the door." At that defining moment, Dennis decided that not only would he go to Hollywood, but that he would become a success as well.
The other surprising revelation was that filmmaking had little resemblance to the shows he had watched growing up.
"Looking back with 20/20 hindsight, I now know that SIU gave me a deeper appreciation for film – especially experimental, documentary and independent filmmaking," he says. "SIU opened my mind to a whole world of filmmaking that had nothing to do with my childhood dreams of 'Star Trek.' "
Upon graduating from SIU, Dennis got his master's degree from the University of Southern California, a widely respected film school that also claims George Lucas as one of its most accomplished alums. Dennis soon met his wife, Patricia, also a USC alum who now serves as senior vice president for The CW television network.
Dennis' career included working at Lucasfilm, becoming elected as president of the Large Format Cinema Association and serving as a director of post production for HBO Pictures. Dennis also served on a post supervision team for film restoration and preservation at Walt Disney Studios as well as overseeing the 70mm "IMAX" laboratory services at Technicolor. While he and his wife forged successful careers in the challenging world of filmmaking, the couple also shares a strong commitment to the power of education.
That brings us back to Mr. Spock's desire that others "live long and prosper."
While Robert and Patricia Dennis have certainly fulfilled that goal, they understand that others may need a hand to do the same. Several years ago, the couple established the Robert Dennis Filmmaking Award, which is given to an outstanding SIU student filmmaker for his or her accomplishments in cinematography.
This past spring they began revamping their wills and recognized it made the best financial sense to establish a revocable family trust. With no children of their own and no extended family members to provide for, the couple determined that they wanted to see most of their estate gift go to youths who really need the help.
They both immediately thought of SIU.
"Patricia and I understand how tough this business can be for young people," Dennis says. "Patricia listened to my stories about SIU, and the important part it played in my life. We both decided to give back to SIU and encourage students with financial help who need it to continue their filmmaking education."
The Dennis' estimated $1.3 million gift is the largest estate gift in the history of the College of Mass Communication and Media Arts.
"When we finalized the trust, we sent off a note to the SIU Foundation announcing our decision – and the reaction was amazing," Dennis says. "We often ask ourselves, 'How is it that we turned out to be the people who have pledged this amount to the school? Why haven't others done the same?' We've already set aside resources for others. It is just the right thing to do to help kids out who can use it more than us."
Cessna announces 2017 university partners for its third annual Top Hawk program
WICHITA, Kan. (Nov. 17, 2016) – Cessna Aircraft Company, a subsidiary of Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company, today announced it has selected the following university partners for the 2017 Top Hawk program: Eastern Kentucky University, The Ohio State University, Auburn University, Southern Illinois University and Louisiana Tech University. Each university will take delivery of a new, custom branded Cessna Skyhawk 172 aircraft in early 2017 to support flight training, recruiting efforts and promotional activities at their respective universities throughout the year.
"Each year, the Top Hawk program continues to expand its reach and we are excited to grow the program with five university partners this year," said Doug May, vice president, Piston Aircraft. "These universities are renowned for their innovative aviation programs and we are confident they will represent the Top Hawk program and Cessna brand very well as we work together to provide students state-of-the art resources and empower them to choose a rewarding career in aviation."
Textron Aviation continues to seek top aviation programs to collaborate with and support the advancement of general aviation and the modernization of aircraft training fleets. The company currently works with several universities, training organizations and flight schools throughout the world to support the next generation of aviators and the Top Hawk program plays a vital role in this strategy.
In addition to the aircraft, the top students from each of the five universities will be chosen for a Textron Aviation summer internship. These students will receive valuable exposure beyond flight training to include real world experience from various corporate departments such as sales, marketing, flight operations, integrated supply chain and engineering to promote a career in aviation.
About the Cessna Skyhawk 172
The Skyhawk is the world standard for pilot training and is renowned for offering the best combination of modern features, including the Garmin G1000 avionics system and proven dependability. The aircraft's high-wing design enables superior flying characteristics ideally suited for pilot training. More Skyhawks have been delivered to customers around the world than any other type of aircraft, with more than 43,000 in service since 1955.
Student Caller Reaches $25,000 Pledge Milestone
The SIU Foundation has a team of dedicated students who call alumni in hopes of raising support for a variety of college funds. Although this challenging job is a group effort, there are opportunities for students to achieve individual milestones during their employment. Melissa Hull is one of those students.
After two years with the SIU Foundation, Hull has successfully raised $25,000. She began as a student caller in 2014 and worked her way to a student supervisor role last year. Her supervisory position keeps her busy as she is responsible for a lot of different tasks.
"As a student caller, I am responsible for making calls to different groups of alumni in hopes of raising money for different college funds," Hull said. "However, when I am working as a supervisor my job gets a bit busier. I send out the pledges that are collected the night before during calling, I update alumni information in our systems, and also speak with certain alumni that are unreachable during the day. During calling shifts, I will help supervise the callers by answering questions and looking up any information they may need during their calling."
The student callers have a different perspective of the university since they are connecting with alumni on a regular basis and Hull has been a part of many positive conversations with alumni who loved their time at SIU.
"The best part is reaching out to alumni that loved it here, who can't wait for your call, and love to hear about upcoming and new developments on campus," Hull shared. "It really makes you realize how great being in college is and the memories and relationships you obtain here."
Hull remembers her first $1,000 pledge from an alumnus. They talked on the phone for over forty minutes. During this time, he shared stories from his time as a student, his current employment as well as other interests they found to have in common.
"I had a great time talking to him and he really made me love my job. On top of that I got a great donation for the university that I knew would help out students that needed it."
Hull was very excited once she hit her $25,000 milestone. The pledge was from a generous alumnus who loved SIU and wanted to give even after his retirement. He was so happy to contribute support to students especially with the current state budget crisis.
"Every call I have like that impacts my view on the university and always makes me very proud to be a Saluki. Hitting $25,000 made me feel like I really helped to make a difference at SIU and help those who needed it most."
Melissa Hull is a senior majoring in Zoology with a specialization in Pre-Veterinary Medicine and a minor in Chemistry. She has plans to attend veterinary school to receive her DVM. Her focus is on small companion animals and dreams of working in a no-kill animal shelter after completing her education. It was a scholarship opportunity that brought her to SIU. With access to a more affordable education, Melissa understands the value each gift makes in the life of a student.

Reflections from a '73 SIU Alumnus
"In the early 70's, I graduated from SIU with an Associates Degree in Electronics Technology. The college was called VTI at that time – which I think later merged with the engineering and schools. In those days we were on the quarter system so we had opportunities for a wide exposure to the field from vacuum tubes to integrated circuits to binary fundamentals. I even earned a commercial FCC radio telephony license as a result of an RF and Radio class.
It wouldn't have been possible without that great foundation I received at SIU.
I felt I had an excellent understanding of the fundamentals of electronics even though it was packed into 2 years. My thinking was verified when I was hired by GE to work in their Advance Development Lab to assist in the development of quadraphonic FM. I was fortunate to have worked with the inventor of stereo FM for a couple years. After GE, I moved to Caterpillar Tractor Co. where I worked at their technical center. I was assigned a job to apply Radio Frequency FM transmitters on moving engine parts to transmitted sensor information such as temperatures to external recording devices. Later, computers were moving from the DP (data processing) mainframes to more powerful and smaller units. I moved to an area to work with a team to design and build an integrated measurement and control system to automatically hot test diesel engines. The test would run the engine through a number of performance cycles and measure the various temps, pressures, torques, fuel rates, etc. Later, as the Internet developed, I was blessed to move to a team in the early stages of network security (firewalls).
I finished my 40+ year career and I'm now retired. Over all I had a long and blessed career in the industry with fascinating jobs. It wouldn't have been possible without that great foundation I received at SIU. I write this not to brag about my background, but to encourage future students to pursue technical degrees; you never know where they will lead. Some days I couldn't believe they paid me to work there!"
– Rick, '73


a fun and easy ornament I created.
I'm not good at coloring and my daughter has lost most of my markers so I had to improvise with some gel & glitter pens but I think it turned out cute.
First I printed out the Mistletoe Sophie & Lucky digi at 2″x3″ then colored, cut it out, glue it to a wire, then curled the image so it would fit in the ornament.
I also used some hot glue and diamond dust to create a frosty ice look. I just drizzled hot glue around the inside bottom, sides, and back, then heated the glue back up with my heat gun and poured the diamond dust in the ornament and shook a little.
I added the hot glue and diamond dust around the front and sides of the ornament.
Please be careful with diamond dust it is made of real glass and should not be around children and animals!!!
I finished it off with some bling swirls and a bow.
I am gonna have to get some diamond dust. That ornament is gorgeous.

After a long 82-game regular season and three previous playoff rounds, the NBA finals are finally upon us. This year, the Toronto Raptors are facing off against the Golden State Warriors in a best of seven series.
Raptors' path to the finals
During the past off-season, the Raptors made a lot of moves to bolster their talent for the chance to compete in the playoffs.First, they fired Coach of the Year, Dwayne Casey, and promoted assistant coach, Nick Nurse, to the head coach role. They also brought back important role player, Fred VanVleet, on a 2-year deal worth 18 million. The same day the biggest problem with the Raptors not making the finals was solved, superstar LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Los Angeles Lakers.
A couple weeks later, the Raptors made the biggest trade of the offseason. Star guard, DeMar Derozan and prospect, Jakob Poeltl, were traded to the San Antonio Spurs for superstar forward and defensive monster, Kawhi Leonard, and a solid backup guard in Danny Green.
In February, on the day of the trade deadline, the Raptors traded starting center Jonas Valanciunas, role players C.J. Miles and Delon Wright to the Memphis Grizzlies for past all-star Marc Gasol. This move gave them more of a veteran-centered starting lineup and more overall playoff experience.
With these upgrades in the lineup and LeBron James leaving, this gave Toronto the perfect opportunity to make the finals. Although the Raptors lost an additional game compared to last season, they pulled off owning the second-best record in the NBA, only behind the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Raptors first faced off against the Orlando Magic in the first round of the playoffs, they won the best of seven series in five games. Next, they took on the star-studded Philadelphia 76ers led by star center Joel Embiid, they won the seventh game off a buzzer beater from Kawhi Leonard. They went on to embarrass the Bucks in six games and advanced to their first ever NBA finals.
Warriors' path to the finals
The Warriors also made moves during the off-season to improve their already unbeatable team to new heights. Superstar center Demarcus Cousins was signed during free agency to a $5.3 million contract that only lasts for this season. This move gave the Warriors a solution to the only spot they were lacking in talent, if one can even consider they were lacking talent.
Prior to the signing however, Cousins tore his Achilles last season on the New Orleans Pelicans. This injury diminished his value for free agency which is why the Warriors signed him for so cheap. Cousins returned half-way through the Warriors season in game 46. His production over this season isn't his usual, but it's enough to take some of the load off the other Warrior players.
The Warriors finished with the third best record in the NBA, and the best record in the Western Conference. Their finish was no surprise as the Warriors have had the best record in the conference for the past five seasons.
Entering the playoffs as the favorites they first faced off against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Warriors cruised through the Clippers in a six-game series and barely slid past the Houston Rockets in far more close games compared to the Clippers. The Portland Trailblazers got manhandled in a four-game series that saw the Warriors making the finals yet again.
The Finals
This NBA finals is special in many ways, if the Warriors win it all they will assert their dynasty status that has been put into question after they blew a three to one game lead in the 2016 finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is the Raptors' first time in the finals which means it's the first time finals games will be played in Canada. This finals appearance has brought all Canadian basketball fans into unison from Vancouver to Montreal.
The Golden State Warriors are favored to win over the Raptors according to many basketball analysts such as Shaquille O'Neal, Jalen Rose, and Stephen A. Smith. But that doesn't mean the Raptors don't have a chance to win.
Superstar Kevin Durant is questionable to return to the series as the calf injury he received has no exact time frame that can warrant his return. Klay Thompson, another important catalyst for the Warriors, left game two of the finals early with a left hamstring tightness. These injuries might lead to the Raptors having enough talent to overpower the Warriors and win their first Championship.
The Raptors will win the championship, only if they play the best they've played and Thompson, and Durant may stay injured during the rest of the series. So, with the long 82-game regular season, will the Raptors finally win their first NBA championship? There's only one way to find out.

Nebraska's Speeding Laws and Penalties
Read about Nebraska's speeding laws and the consequences of getting a speeding ticket.
Nebraska has two types of speeding laws: "absolute limits" and a "basic speeding law." This article explains the differences between the two and the consequences of a speeding violation.
Absolute Speed Limits
There's nothing complicated about how Nebraska's absolute speed limits work: If the absolute speed limit is 50 miles per hour and you drive faster than that, you've violated the law. Nebraska's absolute speed limits include (unless otherwise posted):
20 miles per hour in business districts
25 miles per hour in residential districts
25 miles per hour in urban area construction zones
35 miles per hour in rural area construction zones
50 miles per hour on any highway that is not dustless-surfaced and not part of the state highway system
55 miles per hour on any dustless-surfaced highway not a part of the state highway system
60 miles per hour on most parts of the state highway system other than an expressway or a freeway
65 miles per hour on an expressway that is part of the state highway system
65 miles per hour on a freeway that is part of the state highway system but not part of the interstate system, and
70 miles per hour on most highways that are part of the interstate system.
Basic Speeding Law
Notwithstanding the absolute limits, Nebraska's basic speeding law prohibits driving at a speed greater than is "reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing." The basic speed law also requires drivers to reduce their speed as appropriate when approaching crossings, curves, a hill crest, or when other road or weather conditions warrant the reduction.
In other words, motorists must always drive at a safe speed. What a safe speed is will depend on the circumstances. For instance, 55 miles per hour might be safe on a bright, sunny day. But if it's dark and the road is icy, going 55 miles per hour could be dangerous and a violation of the basic speeding law.
Penalties for a Speeding Ticket
Generally, a speeding violation is a traffic infraction. The possible fines are:
$10 for exceeding the speed limit by one to five miles per hour
$25 for exceeding the speed limit by over five but not more than ten miles per hour
$75 for exceeding the speed limit by over ten but not more than 15 miles per hour
$125 for exceeding the speed limit by over 15 but not more than 20 miles per hour
$200 for exceeding the speed limit by over 20 but not more than 35 miles per hour, and
$300 for exceeding the speed limit by over 35 miles per hour.
Fines are, however, doubled for speeding offenses in construction or school zones.
I some cases, it might also be possible to beat a speeding ticket in court.
Reckless Driving and Motor Vehicular Homicide
Depending on the circumstances, a speeding violation can lead to a "reckless driving" conviction. A first conviction carries up to three months in jail and/or a maximum $500 in fines.
And if a speeding violation results in the death of another person, it's possible to be convicted of "motor vehicular homicide." Convicted motorists may face a substantial jail or prison sentence and hefty fines.
Traffic Violation Points
A speeding ticket will typically add one to four demerit points to a motorist's driving record. Accumulating too many points can lead to license suspension.

Manama (en  / al-manāma) est la capitale du royaume de Bahreïn. Située au nord de l'île de Bahreïn, sur le golfe Persique, elle est aussi la plus grande ville de Bahreïn, avec une population estimée à  en 2010.

Manama est mentionnée dans les chroniques islamiques au moins dès 1345. Conquise par les Portugais en 1521, puis par les Perses en 1602, elle est, depuis 1783, dirigée, avec de brèves interruptions, par la dynastie régnante d'Al Khalifa. En 1958, Manama est déclarée port franc et devient, en 1971, la capitale du royaume de Bahreïn indépendant.

La base économique de Manama est identique à celle de Bahreïn : le raffinage du pétrole, la construction de dhows (bateaux traditionnels), la pêche et la récolte de perles. Manama est, par l'intermédiaire de l'aéroport international de Bahreïn, desservie sur l'île d'Al Muharraq, à laquelle elle est reliée par une chaussée. Fondée en 1986, l'université de Bahreïn fait de la capitale bahreïnienne une ville universitaire.

Manama, anciennement l'une des douze municipalités de Bahreïn, fait désormais partie du gouvernorat de la capitale, dont elle est le chef-lieu.

Une base navale y a été installée par la Royal Navy en 1935. Depuis les années 1950, l'US Navy y entretient une présence, qui a pris de l'importance pendant les , et sert actuellement de quartier général à la Cinquième flotte américaine.

Histoire

Le nord de l'île de Bahreïn, la localisation de Manama, connaît une activité humaine depuis environ , comme l'indiquent les restes trouvés près du fort de Bahreïn.

La civilisation de Dilmun fait de ce territoire sa capitale, enterrant ses morts plus au sud, à A'ali. Les habitants sont rapidement conquis par une série d'envahisseurs : les Assyriens, les Achéménides (Perses) et les Macédoniens (Grecs) dans l'Antiquité, puis les Arabes au . Pendant ces siècles, l'endroit est un comptoir dont l'importance dépend de l'empire dominant.

Les habitants de Manama adoptent l'islam au .

Manama est mentionnée dans les chroniques islamiques au moins dès 1345. Elle est conquise par le Portugal en 1521. Le fort de Bahreïn est construit à cette époque, probablement pour se défendre de l'Empire perse. L'île change cependant de mains entre le Portugal, la Perse et Oman, pendant les deux siècles suivants. À la suite de la victoire perse finale, en 1783, la dynastie d'Al Khalifa, provenant du Qatar, prend le contrôle de toute l'île.

Manama devient un port franc en 1958. En 1971, elle devient la capitale du Bahreïn indépendant. La pêche perlière est depuis longtemps terminée.

L'économie a désormais plusieurs atouts : banques, assurances, commerce, santé, tourisme, TIC, et base navale américaine.

En 2011, dans le contexte du Printemps arabe, plusieurs milliers de manifestants occupent la place de la Perle : le mouvement est réprimé dans le sang.

Géographie

Localisation
Manama est située sur le golfe Persique, dans le nord-est de l'île de Bahreïn. Elle possède un terrain plat et aride qui est propre aux villes bahreïniennes.

Quartiers
Historiquement, Manama était limitée au souk et au fort (actuel ministère de l'Intérieur) au sud.
La ville englobe désormais plusieurs banlieues récentes et villages anciens.

Climat

Manama possède un climat désertique. Comme le reste de Bahreïn, la ville connaît des conditions climatiques extrêmes, avec des températures estivales atteignant 48 °C et des températures hivernales descendant à 15 °C, avec de la grêle en de rares occasions. Les températures moyennes en été et en hiver s'étendent entre 17 °C et 45 °C.

Enseignement supérieur

Panorama

Jumelages

Tourisme
La capitale accueille, à peu près, sept millions de visiteurs par an, pour de courts séjours, venus principalement du Moyen-Orient : tourisme de curiosité, d'affaires, de luxe, de médecine, et de culture. En 2012, Manama devient « Capitale arabe de la culture ».

Manama est une ville à l'américaine, par et pour l'automobile. Les promenades piétonnes sont incongrues, ou réservées à des zones très limitées, entre lesquelles le transport se fait en voiture, même pour des sauts de puce. Le système de taxis est très efficace, même si la circulation en ville est régulièrement perturbée par les zones de travaux, et les embouteillages qui en résultent.

Digital Breakdown: 'Letters' of power and emotion
May. 22, 2007 12:00 a.m.
LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA — 2-DISC SPECIAL EDITION: It's amazing what Clint Eastwood did with "Letters From Iwo Jima," the tale of one of the bloodiest battles of World War II.
Told through the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, with Japanese dialogue and even shot in Japanese-style filmmaking, "Letters" is an instant classic film about some soldiers' unprecedented valor of humanity and the utter terror of war.
The DVD includes a second disc exclusively with special features, such as the awesome "Red Sun, Black Sand" making-of featurette (about the film's unique style) and "The Faces of War," about casting the film. There's also information about marketing the movie and footage from the world premiere.
Price: $34.99.
Rent or buy: Buy.
If you were living in a cave, you might not have heard about Mel Gibson's racist, drunken rant. But you probably did. Yet, if that's what's holding you back from seeing Gibson's graphic story about the fall of the Mayans, think again.
While dark and violent, the film is surprisingly full of emotion and power. As a director, Gibson knows what he's doing — even if he can't keep his mouth shut the rest of the time.
Extras include audio commentary from Gibson, material about the making of the film and one deleted scene. Based on the special features, you'd best wait for a special edition that will more than likely come out in the next year or so.
Rent or buy: Rent.
THE O.C.: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON
The fall of "The O.C." really began with the third season, when one of the most visible actors on the show, Mischa Barton, left; her character was killed in a car accident. (In her real life, she's also been known to have an accident or two.)
After that, the show descended into kind of a "Melrose Place" thing, rather than the interesting teen drama it was when it debuted. Featuring only 16 episodes that made up the truncated season, this DVD is strictly for fans.
It has three featurettes.
Rent or buy: Buy — fans only.
KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL — THE COMPLETE SERIES
It's too bad that Fox canceled this show before it was time for it to go. While "Kitchen Confidential" is no "Wonder Falls" or "Arrested Development," it's still better than most current comedies on network television — "King of Queens" or "According to Jim," for example.
The show is about behind-the-scenes activities at a hip restaurant in New York. Featuring Bradley Cooper from "Alias" and Nicholas Brendon from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," the cast is strong and the comedy good. The show should have had a longer run. The DVD includes all 13 episodes.
Because there isn't much value to owning it, it's a good rental.
THE HARD EASY
HBO not only produces really good series; it makes some really good movies, as well. "The Hard Easy" is one of them.
It's about two shady gentlemen who have a similar problem — they owe a lot of money and have no way to pay it off. After they're approached by thieves who ask them to take part in a bank robbery to earn some bucks, they end up getting caught up in a criminal underworld and find themselves wondering if they'll survive.
This decent film has a nice cast: David Boreanaz, Henry Thomas, Nick Lachey (yes, that Nick Lachey) and Bruce Dern.
Rent or buy: A good rental.
Other DVDs coming out Tuesday: "Mistress of Spices," "The Italian," "The Shadow Walkers," "Alone With Her," "The Mad," "Roots: 30th Anniversary Special Edition," "Kyle XY — The Complete First Season Declassified," "Venus," "Airwolf: Season Three."
Summer lineups: Stern Grove, S.F. Symphony

Child Protection Evidence - Retinal findings
Research & Evidence team
Child Protection Evidence is a resource available for clinicians across the UK and internationally to inform clinical practice, child protection procedures and professional and expert opinion in the legal system. This systematic review evaluates the literature on abusive and non-abusive retinal findings.
About the review
The review examines retinal findings including the presence of retinal haemorrhage in abusive head trauma, retinal haemorrhages in disease states, retinal haemorrhages in newborn infants and children with direct trauma to the eye as a direct consequence of abuse.
The review seeks to identify the features that might be present in these situations as well as features which might distinguish a case from accidental injury.
This systematic review evaluates the scientific literature on retinal injuries published up until February 2020.
It aims to answer the following clinical questions:
What differences are found between abusive head trauma retinal findings versus non-abusive head trauma retinal findings?
What are the differential diagnoses of retinal haemorrhages in children with clinical features associated with child abuse?
Retinal haemorrhages in newborn infants: what are the retinal findings in newborn infants; what are the obstetric correlates to retinal haemorrhages in the newborn; what is the evolution of newborn retinal haemorrhages?
Can you date retinal findings in children?
Which features or characteristics of eye injury are present in child maltreatment, neglect and fabricated or induced illness?
The implications for practice and research, and other useful references are included in the review.
The 2020 update included 19 new studies relating to retinal findings in children with a head injury across each of the clinical questions, including the first paper to address the dating of retinal findings.
Increasing emphasis has been placed on the detailed pattern of retinal findings and whether these characteristics may aid in distinguishing abusive head trauma from other aetiologies. Ophthalmologists may also encounter children with direct trauma to the eye as a direct consequence of abuse and a recent review highlights the characteristics that may assist in identifying these injuries. To date however there are no large scale comparison studies involving eye injuries due to abuse versus those due to accidental injury.
There have been no new studies in 2020 to add to the meta-analysis of studies detailing retinal findings in children less than three years with a head injury. The current meta-analysis highlights the association between retinal haemorrhage and abusive head trauma (odds ratio of 15.31, 95% CI 18.78-25.74).
Resolution patterns and duration of retinal haemorrhages measured from sequential retinal imaging has been reported in one new study, adding evidence in a previously unanswered area.
Disclaimer: This is a summary of the systematic review findings up to the date of our most recent literature search. If you have a specific clinical case, we strongly recommend you read all of the relevant references as cited and look for additional material published outside our search dates

UM president hopes to see near-perfect vaccination rate in the fall, and the return of joy on campus
Michigan Radio | By Olive Scott
Published April 20, 2021 at 11:21 PM EDT
Michigan's college towns are quieter this spring than they would be in a normal year. As University of Michigan students and faculty wrap up another COVID-19 semester, UM President Mark Schlissel hopes the fall will bring impressive vaccination rates and the return of an ebullient campus.
The pandemic school year
"We've had to learn as we go. We've had to rely, of course, on our experts, but also bring our community along. We've had to approach this with really great humility," Schissel said. "I wish we had ramped up our testing program earlier. Early on, we were using Michigan Medicine, our own major healthcare system, but they really weren't set up to ramp up and do massive surveillance testing on a major college campus."
Gov. Whitmer's handling of the crisis
"One thing I've learned is not to second guess well-intentioned, hardworking, serious data driven leaders like the governor because until you sit in their chair, you really don't know all the various inputs that a leader has to balance," Schlissel said. "I'd say even when our state was under very stringent regulation, with a state of 10 million people, it always comes down to personal responsibility."
Vaccinations for students
Schlissel says dozens of universities across the country have decided to require students to be vaccinated before returning in the fall, but UM has yet to announce a decision.
"I'm optimistic that a very high number of students will be vaccinated before the fall semester. We are discussing and considering whether to mandate vaccination," Schlissel said. "It's complicated, we want to be sure that we make good, consistent decisions and strike all the right balances, so we'll probably have more to say about that in the days and weeks to come."
A return to normal
One of the things that makes college such a memorable experience is the social connections forged in person, says Schlissel, and without that there is a "lack of joy" on campus. However, he sees a more hopeful, in-person fall semester ahead. Schlissel, who used to run an immunology research lab, says the pandemic's dark shadow has illuminated one key facet of this research university's mission.
"The University of Michigan has been here for 200 years, if nothing else, the pandemic has proven the importance of education and research," Schlissel said. "It's research that has allowed us to overcome a global pandemic, or make significant progress in less than a year. Imagine if this were 50 or 60 years ago. We would not have known what the virus was, we wouldn't have sequenced its genome, we wouldn't have a diagnostic test, and we certainly wouldn't have a vaccine in less than a year. So, this mission of the University is critical."

This week's show is all about saving lives! Dr. Greg Hudnall shared some incredible insights about how we, as parents, can help our kids, their friends, and community members to keep hope alive and prevent suicides. Dr. Hudnall is a former high school principal, student service director and associate superintendent with the Provo City School District. He has worked in suicide prevention for the past twenty years and has personally been involved in over forty-five suicides as a first responder or consultant. He is considered one of Utah's leading experts in community and school-based suicide prevention, intervention and postvention.
Listen in to hear the specific, and easy things you can do to begin making a difference today for those you love. Also, you can hear our thoughts on traveling with kids, including a story of Beth's daughter having her face caressed by many members of a tour group….every girl's dream. Aaaaaand…find out what Dr. Hudnall's 5 year old screamed for all to hear as he carried him out of church one day. This is a must listen!
Suicide is a heavy topic, one often avoided. Unfortunately, the lack of knowing exactly how to prevent suicides led the Provo City Utah School District to average one to two suicides per year during the late 1980's and early 1990's. Dr. Hudnall began his journey toward suicide prevention in that district as a principal. Provo was not unique in its high suicide rates. Students across the nation were struggling with this devastating problem. Many still are.
Through a collaborative effort with many different experts, Dr. Hudnall created the Hope4Utah Foundation and Hope Squads in over 300 schools in Utah and several states nationwide. According to the Hope4Utah website, a Hope Squad is defined as "… the eyes and ears of your school. They are comprised of students who are trained to watch for at-risk students–provide friendship, identify warning signs, and seek help from adults. HOPE4UTAH works with school advisors to train students who have been identified by their classmates as trustworthy peers to serve as HOPE Squad members. Through evidence-based training modules, HOPE Squad members are empowered to seek help and save a life." The decrease in teen suicides across Utah has been dramatic since the implementation of Hope Squads.
Suicide prevention is a community issue. No one person can solve the problem. Students, teachers, principals, and therapists all have a significant role to play. None can be alone in this effort. Parents are an integral part of this equation. Dr. Hudnall recently released a book called "Hope Squad: The Successful Suicide Prevention Program For Youth." This book outlines what specific things parents, educators, and community members can do to immediately begin helping to prevent suicides. Below are some of the topics (called LIFE SAVERS) we discussed in this episode that are found within the book.
How to begin a conversation with someone about suicide.
Expressing hopelessness about the future.
Displaying severe/overwhelming emotional pain or distress.
Showing worrisome behavioral clues or marked changes in behavior, particularly in the presence of warning signs above.
People who talk about suicide won't really do it.
Anyone who tries to kill him/herself must be crazy.
If a person is determined to kill themself nothing is going to stop them.
People who commit suicide are unwilling to get help.
The following protective factors are personal characteristics that are critical to helping your child, and those characteristics that also help children build resilience.
Create opportunities to make and keep friends.
Self esteem and a sense of purpose or meaning in life.
Cultural, religious or personal beliefs that discourage suicide.
Also, visit www.Hope4Utah.com for a complete list of crisis lines and resources.
Advice Dr. Hudnall wishes he had been given before he had kids: Listen more. Speak less. Love more. Judge less.
Dad Fail: You must listen to hear this great story!
THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN CHILDREN AND FAMILY MEMBERS AND THINK ABOUT WHETHER THERE ARE WARNING SIGNS THEY NEED TO BE PAYING ATTENTION TO.
Search "Hope Squad" on YouTube.
Other facts about our guest: Dr. Hudnall has been an adjunct Professor for BYU for the past 15 years and was named as adjunct Professor of the year.
Dr. Hudnall is a board member of the "Faith Communities Task Force National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention".
He is the founder of HOPE4UTAH, a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to suicide prevention, intervention and postvention in Utah. The school-based program, "HOPE Squads" has been responsible for over 1,000 students referred for help.
Dr. Hudnall was invited to testify before the United States Surgeon General on suicide in Utah and has trained over 40,000 Utah residents in suicide prevention, intervention and postvention.
Dr. Hudnall was invited by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to present in Washington D.C. on the Circles4HOPE community mental health model at the "Dialogue on Behavior Health and Community Resilience in LDS Communities".
HOPE4UTAH was chosen by the Center for Disease Control to receive assistance in developing long-term research and evaluation.
In July 2015 Dr. Hudnall was invited by Dr. David Jones from the White House to participate in a national webinar on African Americans and suicide in the U.S.
We'd like to thank Dr. Hudnall for not only the time he gave to us during this interview, but also for his years of service fighting suicide.
This has been SO helpful. Thank you ! I am a YW Pres here in Tasmania ,Australia. I will try and implement some of the ideas I have felt from your discussion. I reckon you will bless many through your work. Certainly I hope to help our family get better and closer through all this – inspired stuff for which I am very grateful.
Thank you so much for replying and for listening! Working with youth is a huge responsibility and I am so grateful that you found some insight in this episode to help you! Doctor Hudnall was so terrific and had so many wonderful insights born of experience. Let us know if there is anything we can do to further address issues that pertain to your life. We love that you are part of our Mom Squad!


Over the last few years, you have read about Louis, me, Southern Barton Heights and so much more! I recently spoke to a group of 50 women (and a few men, too) at WOVEN's Hour to Empower Luncheon, and I felt led to share the impact the community has had on me. Here are 11 things I have learned! These are in no particular order, nor is it an all-inclusive list. My learning is ongoing….nonstop….like a firehose.
I wouldn't trade my life, my community for any other community in the world. I love my neighbors. I love the way my paradigms are being challenged and shifted. After Frank was shot, he asked me if I was moving. I went on to tell him – that people asked me that same question when the windows were shot out of my car and my car was stolen. "If I had moved, who would be there for you the night you were shot 9 times? All your friends ran. But, God loves you so much!" As a matter of fact, I recently told a friend – after driving south on 76 during 5pm traffic, "I'd rather have that bullet come through my front window every 6 years than deal with this traffic every night!" And…I meant it. Crazy, maybe. Honest though.
It's painful, but necessary, to learn the difficulties of the materially poor. Although I didn't grow up in the 'rich' part of the West End, I have been made aware of how my privilege of education, race, and network provides me. The fact that Louis and I have 2 cars, when 60% of the city population has 1 or no car per household.
I am reminded at any point, that if I have a tire blow out – I have money in savings. Even if I didn't, I have multiple friends I can call that could loan me money. For many of my neighbors, everyone they know is also in the same situation. Generational poverty is impactful.
I take for granted that I had a father and mother in my home. Now, my home life was far from perfect. None-the-less, my father was at home and provided for the family. Kids today are growing up in a fatherless society. So, girls and moms don't even know what to look for and expect. Respect often has never been modeled.
I have learned that the church – as an institution and a body of believers, in many cases, have left 'loving your neighbor' up to the government. And we can see that that's not working out well for us right now. The church has outsourced 'neighbor loving' to the government and non-profits.
I have learned that the materially poor inner-city people want the same things I do…that I would dare say most of us want. Safe, affordable shelter. Good schools. Reliable transportation. Steady employment with a living wage. We aren't all that different. We are all have sinned. All have fallen short. And we all are made in God's image. And that being materially poor takes great faith!
As a bit of a type A personality, I have also learned to leave capacity in my schedule. I need to leave time in my calendar to say Yes to God. Louis and I are praying over our calendar more than ever before.
As a group of women, I can also share that I have learned that having my house clean and in order is no longer a top priority. I would be exhausted if it were! With the sheer number of neighbors we have coming by along with 2 aging labs, Bella and Wesley, it's impossible.
I have learned that I don't have the answers. Nothing is that simple. It's actually quite complex. It's vastly important to ask questions and to listen more than we talk. It's more important to do things WITH the community not FOR or TO the community. Even though it will probably take much longer, it will be much longer lasting and sustainable.
Prayer has become an integral part of my life. My passionate pursuit of God has become my #1 priority….well, most of the time. I try to anyway.
Why do you live where you live? What have you learned about yourself, God or your community recently?
Provide your email to have Miss Marti's House delivered to your mailbox!
Most people call me Marti, Martay, or Mart. But, the kids...they call me Miss Marti. Louis...he calls me Sunshine. I am an Urban Missionary loving God and others in Southern Barton Heights in Richmond, VA.
Hope! Inspire! Serve! Kids Club for elementary age children. Middle School youth can assist with planning.
Simply Put… a Missional Micro-Expression of the Church where we eat a meal, study the Word, pray, serve and 'do life' together.


Missed that entire post. I'll write something up soon, going out today.

Really rat poison? well hey if thats what Amber needs to get her moment of high more power to her.
Posted on 2010-09-13 at 18:09:33.
I don't think a high would be the goal in that situation.
Yeah... just maybe we wary if she hands you a drink.
Posted on 2010-09-13 at 18:43:02.
...I reckon he wouldn't hate that option given some of the others.
Nice update for Steve and Em, boss... I'm guessing that means Steve's ditched the rest of us for the time being?
Posted on 2010-09-13 at 19:53:57.
Looks like Steve has, indeed, ditched you guys. He had not built a relationship with you yet, his goals were not necessarily in line with yours... and his player is absent.
If UncleDog returns and wants to play, it'll be easy to bring Steve back. If not, no harm, no foul.
Posted on 2010-09-13 at 19:55:46.
Murph'll probably reason out Steve's disappearance and the futility of following once he realizes the guy's gone, anyway.
Posted on 2010-09-13 at 20:00:06.
Posted on 2010-09-14 at 03:58:08.
So, what are we waiting onm, folks? Ready for a GM update?
I can probably assume that Father Ted isn't going to claim to want to munch you guys, but I don't want to assume party actions. Where are you headed next? Will you have Emily treat Mac here, or try to find someplace safer? What about food - you guys are still in serious need of something to eat.
Posted on 2010-09-14 at 13:58:30.
Well I was waiting for Teddy to respond and come in personally.
Beyond that for someone to make a decision. I'm playing the passive character who in all honesty is just going to follow Tom around like a cute little puppy until she gets eaten or does herself in.
Mrs. Bickerson will have opinions if I ever have to pull her out, but Amber doesn't really.
Posted on 2010-09-14 at 14:09:19.
Posted on 2010-09-14 at 15:22:39.
If you don't mind waiting until the end of the day I'd like to get a post in. Cheers. Nothing too long, but I'd like to get it said.
Posted on 2010-09-14 at 15:33:24.
Teddy's content the people in the store are non-hostile, if a little rude, and intends to enter the store, make introductions and begin discussions.
He has a strong proclivity for anything that doesn't seem like outright flight from "God's tests".
Posted on 2010-09-14 at 21:14:44.
...this oughta get downright interestin'!
Should have a short post ready before long but, like I said, nothing that can't be called backposting if Olan beats me to the update.
Posted on 2010-09-14 at 21:32:09.
I thought that I had made "interesting" posts!
I will refrain from posting until you guys decide what to do. Again, I need to know where you are going, if Emily will treat Mac now or wait, etc.
Posted on 2010-09-14 at 21:56:10.
Im going to be honest Ollie, I don't think we can determine what Emily's doing. Nor Mac, he's asleep?
So whats the plan concious people?

Former Prime Minister Gerrit Schotte strikes back
WILLEMSTAD - Puppets of the AIVD - Member of Parliament Ronald van Raak (SP) is a coup perpetrator and a pawn of the secret services in the Netherlands (AIVD) and of Curaçao (VDC). His spending is so exuberant that he cannot finance it from his salary as a Member of Parliament.
The Dutch MP for the SP (Socialist Party) is thus paid for his illegal and subversive activities. This is according to a 47 page report, in English, which is research conducted by the Marketing Counterintelligence commissioned by Gerrit Schotte, the former Prime Minister of Curaçao.
Schotte was deposed in September 2012 and spoke already about a coup orchestrated by the Netherlands. He accused Van Raak of colluding with local politicians, justice officials, former Governor Frits Goedgedrag, NOS correspondent Dick Drayer and colleague André Bosman (VVD). According to the report, the Dutch MP has an exorbitant life style.
The 'confidential' report was leaked this week and it was no accident. The Dutch Parliament debated last week about problems in Curaçao. All Dutch Caribbean islands were extensively discussed in the Dutch Senate last Tuesday. Spying on MPs could still be dismissed as teasing. The Dutch AIVD also tapped Antillean politicians. But Schotte's report serves a different purpose. He was sentenced in February to three years in prison for corruption and fraud. In practice, he was the manager of the Italian gambling mob in Curaçao, so the judge ruled.
Whether or not this report helps Schotte is the question. There is nothing to be found about Counterintelligence Marketing online, which can show a good and reliable reputation. The English in the report is pitiful, and Ronald van Raak is consistently spelled as "Roland".

I have the "good fortune" of having to shoot a Bar Mitzvah this weekend for a friend. They want to edit the raw and have requested that I shoot on tape. I have never shot tape on this camera before so I am unsure as to what the optimum settings would be for an inside, natural and 3200k lighting situation. As you can imagine, there does not seem to be much info out there on this.
That camera shoots SD on tape.
White balance accordingly as you would shooting to card or anything.
Thanks for getting back to me. I am more curious to know things such as which film vs. video setting, gamma/scene file to choose, fps and shutter, etc/ If this were just a news camera, I'd be shooting the standard at 30fps with the shutter at 1/60.
Can you help with that too?
P.S. Ah, Atlanta. I spent a few years in Macon and many days and nights in and around Atlanta as well. Great city!
Keep it simple. Shoot 480i60 in Video Mode.
Thank you, Steve. That's what I think too but since there are so many other options such as gamma settings etc. I thought I'd look into those. Unfortunately I just don't have the time to do any tests first.
Question though: why choose 60i?
Because if you shot 30p or 24p, you'd notice a lot of strobing in your video. If you have a stable support, you are fine with that setting.
Thank you, Steve. One last question: since I shot in 4:3, in FCP should I just use the DV codec for my sequence setting?
Yes. You won't gain anything by using any other codec other than DV/NTSC.

Le château de Vittskövle (en suédois : , parfois graphié ) est un château suédois, situé dans la commune de Kristianstad  kilomètres au sud du  dans la province historique de Scanie.

Histoire

Le château est l'un des châteaux d'architecture Renaissance les mieux préservés du Nord de l'Europe et l'un des plus grands de Suède.

Il a été construit dans un but défensif par Jens Axelsen Brahe, au cours des . Bâti selon un plan carré, avec deux tours d'angle rondes opposées, il possède trois niveaux et se trouve entouré de douves. Des jardins ont été aménagés au . Le château a été rénové au  : l'intérieur actuel date de cette époque.

Il entre par le mariage de Marguerite Brahe avec Christian Barnekow en 1577 dans la famille Barnekow.

Le château passe dans la famille Hagerman lorsque le banquier suédois Jonas-Philip Hagerman le rachète au . L'un de ses ancêtres y avait été maître des écuries au . Il le revend une dizaine d'années plus tard à son frère Gustav.

Marie Hagerman épouse le maréchal de la Cour Rudolf-Hodder Stjernswärd, et le château restera par la suite dans la lignée Stjernswärd. Le propriétaire actuel est un descendant de Gustav Hagerman, Carl-Georg Stjernswärd.  Il est aujourd'hui propriété de la famille Stjernswärd à usage de résidence et ne se visite pas.

How to monitor the EU's new border security strategy
The development of a monitoring mechanism, or any suitable variation to it, now appears imperative. (Photo: Fotomovimiento)
By Solon Ardittis
Brussels, 26. Oct 2016, 17:16
The European Council of 20-21 October has confirmed the EU's undaunted resolve to outsource parts of its immigration control policy to third countries.
The trend started initially with the EU-Turkey migration agreement earlier this year, and gained considerable momentum with the recent adoption of the Migration Partnership Framework.
The Framework entails the negotiation of several "migration compacts" with key countries of origin and transit (initially Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Mali and Ethiopia), backed by significant financial and technical assistance packages.
The aim is to help these countries prevent the illegal migration of their nationals and transit migrants toward the European Union, as well as to increase cooperation on the readmission of irregular migrants already based in the EU.
The outsourcing of key elements of the EU's border security policy to third countries has generated considerable criticism from several NGOs and migration policy experts.
In the case of the EU-Turkey agreement, a number of commentators have questioned Turkey's status as a "safe country", not to mention a range of other issues of legality.
In terms of the Migration Partnership Framework, critics have pointed to the dangers of entrusting third countries that sometimes have poor rights records with a major component of the EU's border security policy.
It has also been stressed that the "human rights conditionality" that had traditionally applied to the granting of EU aid to developing countries may now have been removed and replaced with the exclusive requirement to cooperate actively on migration issues.
Despite the fact that the increased externalisation of the EU's border management policy has ensued, largely, as a result of the poor inter-state cooperation and the lack of a common migration policy vision within the European Union, as reflected in particular by the failure of the EU relocation and resettlement schemes to date, the success and viability of the new external migration policy will no doubt require that due consideration be given to the mounting concerns it is generating.
Fundamental rights officers
One way of responding to the broadening criticism which is currently weakening the EU's cooperation strategy with third countries would by developing a fully fledged set of fundamental rights guidelines and monitoring mechanisms to review the EU's compliance with adequate human rights standards, the principle of non-refoulement and fair access to asylum procedures.
Such a fundamental rights strategy and monitoring mechanism would need to be developed and supervised by an independent consultative group that would bring together a range of relevant agencies such as the European Asylum Support Office (EASO), the Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA), the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and key migrant and human rights NGOs.
The strategy should aim to assess on a continuing basis the observance by the EU migration policy interventions in third countries of established legal instruments and good practices relating to issues such as asylum and appeal procedures, detention standards and readmission and reintegration policies.
In order to support the above monitoring strategy, and drawing also on the Frontex agency's long-standing experience of responding to similar criticism about its own border surveillance activities, there would be merit in appointing both a full-time fundamental rights officer at the European Commission and local fundamental rights officers in all the EU delegations falling under the scope of the EU-Turkey agreement and the Migration Partnership Framework.
The role of the coordinating fundamental rights officer would be to report to the EU institutions, the member states and key stakeholders on the fundamental rights record of external migration policies.
Local officers, who would complement the work of the immigration liaison officers already deployed in the relevant EU delegations, would be to collect and process day-to-day information on the implementation of the fundamental rights guidelines attached to the EU's migration policy strategy and operational activities in these countries.
Appeasing the mounting tension
As the external evaluation of Frontex conducted in 2015 has duly evidenced, the role of the fundamental rights officer has been rated very positively by the full range of stakeholders concerned and it has also contributed to increasing Frontex's focus on the fundamental rights obligations stemming from its activities.
In order to provide the necessary political weight and visibility to the above strategy, the drafting of a dedicated European Commission communication on the fundamental rights implications of the EU's external migration policy, to be developed in consultation with the full range of stakeholders concerned, would also contribute to appeasing the mounting tension between the EU executive and a wide range of external migration policy entities.
The development of such a monitoring mechanism, or any suitable variation of it, now appears imperative. It will not necessarily contribute to the success of the new migration cooperation policy strategy with third countries, but the absence of a comprehensive fundamental rights auditing tool will most certainly undercut or blur the future outcomes of the strategy.
In view of the number of largely aborted policy attempts to manage the EU's external borders unilaterally since 2015, it is now essential that the new external migration policy strategy should at least be offered a favourable and consensual environment in which to test its effectiveness.
Solon Ardittis is managing director of Eurasylum and a research fellow at the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA). He is also co-editor of 'Migration Policy Practice', a bimonthly journal published jointly with the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

EU-Africa talks pose questions on aid and security
This week's EU summit will take no new decision on how to manage the migration crisis. But differences of approach remain between member states.
Test agreements with Ethiopia, Niger, Nigeria, Mali and Senegal show less migrant smugglers and more returns.
The European Commission said it was ready "in principle" to help Sudan guard its Libya border, despite the local regime's crimes against humanity record.


This paper explores how perceptions of risk and vulnerability affect fertility, and in particular how they affect the propensity for fertility. The paper draws on two established strains in the existing literature that have not been effectively incorporated in research on poverty and population processes. The first is the theory of risk and fertility put forward by Mead Cain (1983). The paper expands the scope and applicability of Cain's work by drawing on more recent theory about social influence and social interaction. In particular, we explore how social networks provide social resources to households that reduce risk and perceptions of vulnerability, and how social networks facilitate the adoption of innovative behaviors, in so doing conditioning the effects of poverty on decisions about childbearing. Although this paper examines fertility, the argument advanced applies to other demographic outcomes. The argument is illustrated with data from Bangladesh and Egypt.
