Forced to beg, working in slavery conditions, sexually abused, sold to the army and for matrimonial purposes, deprived of body organs – they belong to 27 million women, men and children on whose behalf 'God asks: where is my slave brother and sister? We cannot pretend that we know nothing (…). We cannot be indifferent which is humiliating' (pope Francis).
Friday, 4 February 2017, Warsaw, the basilica of the Holy Cross. The church of hospitable Missionaries Priests gathers people at various age – students, nuns, monks. Families, priests, elderly people. In darkness the church is getting filled quickly. They have arrived from: Katowice, Łódź, Przemyśl, Kraków, Grodzisko Mazowieckie, Gdańsk, Drohiczyn – from the near and the far for the night re-action. Among them there are volunteers who have their assigned task for this night – some are greeting guests, others are taking care about the order, preparing the liturgy, hot tea and coffee, and are reliable as usually.
Nobody wants to be indifferent to violence and cruelty. What should our reaction be like towards evil done? MERCIFULNESS!
A lot of visitors joined the nationwide initiative 'Change the night into the power of mercifulness!' every month. Every first Saturday at 3 a.m. a prayer for mercifulness was said in the intention of victims and culprits of their suffering. Now, it is the first time, participants of this initiative have been together. They see their faces. They see how many of them there are. They know that even if there were only a few of them, their prayer will have POWER. Also sisters from cloistered congregations and those who could not arrive for various reasons.
s. Joanna lipowska FMM, the chairperson of the Bakhita Network answers: - A lot of evil is committed at night. Victims experience the worst humiliation. At night tears of shame, torment, helplessness are flowing, tears of nostalgia for lost freedom. At night there are struggles and spiritual fights…. But we believe that the world and all kinds of authority and power belong to God! Therefore at night we get up and say a prayer so that the power of merciful God would reveal in the life of all enslaved people.
Lord, I am entering Your presence….
The Eucharist begins in the intention of everybody from 27 million sisters and brothers, who were deprived of the most valuable gifts – freedom and dignity, which God did not take away from the man even after the first sin! – Jesus wanted to be a slave to identify himself with everyone of those little – said bishop Grzegorz Ryś to the gathered with whom he was praying. – It is important that each of us would get belief from Jesus about dignity of everybody who is a slave today. We are here – said the Bishop – to ask that the suffering of our brothers would become a paschal event. We are here to see our responsibility in the light of the Word: Has anybody said anything? Has anybody protested? Has anybody prevented this event when there was still time? Has anybody come out?
Arek, a participant of the vigil, moved by the word of the Gospel and homily, shared his reflection: 'St. John the Baptist was killed 'because of fun and dance'. I thought about how much 'fun', often accepted by the society, causes slavery and even death of others.
The participants of the vigil showed their respect and great concentration when listening to testimonies of 5 people, abused, destroyed and overused in various ways by egoism of others. These people did not arrive personally, it was impossible. They were deprived of their names, faces, and, instead they are struggling with their painful memories, despite the passing time they live in fear. That evening they wanted to share their thoughts. They gave the participants of the vigil their most painful secrets.
Volunteers used their voices, so that the victims could tell us about their tragedies which they had experienced.
Every testimony was accompanied by prayers of participants of the vigil. – Our consideration and though can also comprise so many women, men and children whose life was burdened by slavery, in its various forms (…), whose pain was not cuddled and tears are not consoled – Justyna and s. Joanna FMM were encouraging for a prayer. So, a fervent prayer of solidarity, shared pain and sympathy flowed towards Crucified Jesus. Hands were raised high and words were said: 'Father, here are Your children, not slaves', which made an impression and were piercing through hearts.
The last testimony was the voice of s. Anna Bałchan SMI, running the Association for Help and Power. The sister serves to women every day – the victims of violence, prostitution and trade. Her moving testimony, full of simplicity and particular things, can be summarized in the sentence: the man is to be loved, not to be used.
I have always thought that such things happen in other countries, the poorer ones (…). Now I see how wrong I was – said Dominika (aged 17), a participant of the vigil.
I have not been aware how serious and universal danger is the trade of people. Only when did I get engaged in the project of the Bakhita network, I began to be aware of it – a volunteer Maciek admitted.
It is 'better' to live in unawareness but now I know that I have a possibility to do something for this matter – said a participant of the vigil (by accident) as he defined it.
For this matter one can do something at once. Participants of the vigil could undertake spiritual adoption with a prayer for one of people experiencing the painful process of getting healed from experiences of slavery in protected houses. The message: 'I am with You; I remember; I pray for You' – will get to people in: Poland, Germany, Romania, Albania, Italy and Kenya thanks to the Bakhita Network. The symbol of this adoption were joined armbands, one of which was given to every participant of the meeting, another one – was given to a person, accompanied spiritually by a participant of the vigil for the nearest year.
– I have undertaken prayer of solidarity (…), I will try to persist. I saw a lot of people coming up to receive somebody in prayer (…). We can be one in love to the man, which would not be possible without God's love and grace – emphasized a participant of the vigil meeting.
– On a painful way of victims of trade of people there must be Mary – Mother of tender love, Mother of mercifulness, Mother of consolation – said Paulina from the Alliance of Mercifulness. Reflecting on sorrowful mysteries of Christ's Road and of roads of violence victims interweaved into one sorrowful reality. The prayer of Psalms, painting with sand and moving music of the betrayal scene, whipping, humiliation and pain and other testimonies took participants of the vigil into the mystery of suffering to which one can respond only with a prayer. – Prayer is a great rescue for people who do not have any hope – noted Aneta (aged 17) from Przemyśl.
Thanks to Your Blood I live in light!
This is an hour of adoration and worship of God in His goodness, care, in His way of reaching to all contemporary slaves, breaking their yoke of slavery. It is just a suitable moment to call them so that their sufferings would become a paschal event. Fr. Janusz Chwast OP and the Community of a good villain, responsible for this time, help the participants of the vigil enter the open Heart of God who reliably leads everyone out of every house of slavery. Not only slaves need healing. We hear: - Every man has got a wound for healing, shame for cuddling, dignity for redeeming, poverty which cries for mercifulness.
The crowning of the vigil was a prayer which has united people for many years, in their calling for the contemporary slaves – the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. The prayer for God's mercifulness was flowing not only from the basilica. This hour united a lot of people who could not arrive at Warsaw that day.
The vigil ended but the desire to be close to enslaved sisters and brothers brings hope that the participants of the vigil will change many more nights into the Power of Mercifulness.
Everyone who is touched by the fate of enslaved brothers and sisters and wants to join the prayer action, is invited by the Bakhita Network to send his/ her desire on: www.siecbakhita.com.
The Bakhita Network for Violence Prevention and Helping the Victims of the Contemporary Slavery Forms for the Conference of the Superiors of Feminine Convent Congregations is an inter-convent network of cooperation and support, aimed at preventing the trade of people and helping victims of the procedure.

Can California swing the pendulum back toward linguistic flexibility for bilingual learners?
I keep posting about the possibility of dismantling the English-only laws that traveled across the country from 1998 through 2002 in California, Arizona, and Massachusetts. With its bitter anti-immigrant politics and fear of a Mexican planet, Arizona seems unlikely to ever undo its English-only mandate. Massachusetts is barely any better, with politicians unable to muster the will to make changes after the state department rolled out a large-scale initiative to respond to Department of Justice findings that Massachusetts failed to serve large swaths of bilingual children across the state. Now California is poised to do what Arizona and Massachusetts have not: allow the voters to undo what they did back in 1998. After some time in the making, Ed Week reports that the November 2016 ballot will include legislation that undoes the 1998 law. From the article: "[E]xperts said that the debate will be much different this time around. Voters in California are now more comfortable with having a multilingual population". We shall see.
Israeli bill offered to remove Arabic as official language of Israel: Sign the petition to protest!
From Professors Elinor Saiegh-Haddad and Susan Rothstein:
At the end of August 2014, a number of members of Knesset in Israel proposed a bill to make Hebrew the only official language of Israel, and thus to demote Arabic from its current status as an official language of the State. Arabic is the native language of over 20% of the population in Israel, and it has been spoken here continuously at least since the 7th century. This proposal thus has both practical consequences and symbolic significance.
The Arabic Language Academy in Israel has circulated a general petition in Hebrew protesting this proposal. We feel that it is important, in addition, that linguists and experts in language research throughout the world add their voices to the protest. The text of the petition is below. If you would like to add your name to the petition you can access it at
http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/arabiclanguage
When we have enough signatures, we would like to publish the text of the petition (in three languages) in Ha-aretz newspaper. If you are prepared to contribute to funding such an advertisement, please send an email toarabic.language.petition@gmail.com . We would need 50-60 people who are prepared to contribute 100 shekels each in order to fund the advertisement. If enough people are interested in contributing, we will let you know how to send the money.
Please sign the petition with your name and affiliation.
Please forward this to as many relevant people as possible.

Maquat studied with now-Emeritus Professor William Reznikoff. After her Ph.D. she also performed postdoctoral work at the UW–Madison McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research. Her lab currently studies the many roles RNA — particularly RNA processing and decay — plays in human health and disease.
Wittmeyer/University of Rochester Medical Center.
Today, her list of accolades is long. Two recent and highly competitive awards include the Vanderbilt Prize in Biomedical Science in 2017 and the Wiley Prize in Biomedical Sciences in 2018. While both honor scientists with a stellar record of research accomplishments, the first also honors those who have made significant contributions to mentoring other women in science. When compared to men, she explains, many fewer women who earn a Ph.D. go on and use that degree in a career, and so it is important to mentor women. One of the best ways to mentor, she believes, is through examples.
At Rochester, Maquat is the J. Lowell Orbison Endowed Chair in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics and the founding director of the university's Center for RNA Biology, as well as founder and chair of the Graduate Women in Science program. She's an international leader in the field and is credited with several major discoveries that are informing a new generation of therapies for a wide range of genetic disorders.

Rally's was born out of the idea that boring and bland have no place in the burger world. That's why we've been slinging the best burgers, crispiest fries, and the creamiest milkshakes for a price that is hard to beat. And because we believe flavor shouldn't have a timeline, we're open late every night of the week. So come see us at Rally's on 403 North Blake Street in Pine Bluff.

GOD is in every atom. = GOD is Everywhere. = GOD runs this world. = Matter is captured Energy. = GOD is created by Shakti. = Matter or Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. = GOD or Shakti can neither be created nor destroyed. = Either Proton, Electron, Neutron or Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
One of the names of Shakti (GOD) in Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam is Paramanu (subatomic particle). Everything in His Creation is made up of subatomic particles. This is how GOD is Everywhere as per Hinduism.
There is a Creator who created Shakti, the five elements [Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space] and life with intelligent Souls. Allah sab ka Malik. = 'All'ah has All. There is no beginning and end of Creation because we are in The Multiverse, a Cycle of Universes.
In order to be in good books of GOD, one has to do good and be good to All. I am not asking you to believe or not to believe in GOD, The Omnipresent, The Omnipotent and The Omniscient. Be Good and do Good to Everybody because GOD is in Everybody. Feed poor to please GOD for showering His blessings on You. One, who sees GOD in All, doesn't need to visit religious places for receiving GOD's blessings.
Let me thank Eeswaramma, my paternal aunt, for sharing a pamphlet, on GOD, with me in 2010. These thoughts are dedicated to Our Ancestors from Great Britain.

Barty Encourages Girls To Stay In Sport Through New Campaign
World No.1 Australian Ashleigh Barty will showcase her inspirational journey to the pinnacle of tennis through a new campaign aimed at encouraging girls to stay in sport.
Ashleigh Barty (photo: Tennis Australia)
TA Press Release, October 30, 2019
Barty, recently named Australia's Sports Woman of the Year a week after becoming the first female tennis player to win The Don at the Sport Australia Hall of Fame awards, will feature in a new marketing campaign titled #PlayForYou targeted at teenagers.
The campaign, leveraging the success of Ash Barty and her story, will focus on empowering girls to play sport for themselves and to ignore peer and societal pressures.
A Sport Australia AusPlay 2018 survey reported that 36% or 1 in 3 girls stopped playing sport by the age of 18. Barriers teenage girls face centre around body image and the debilitating peer pressure to look good are also key factors in why teenagers drop out of sport.
Aside from captivating the sports world with her incredible athleticism, down-to-earth attitude and willingness to spend time motivating players at a grassroots level, the 2019 French Open champion's own pathway included a much-documented pause in her tennis career at the age of 18 to refresh mentally and "experience life as a normal teenage girl."
After a two-year break from the sport, Barty returned to tennis in 2016 and has been on a quick ascent ever since, holding onto the world No.1 ranking since the US Open, September 2019.
From November 9-10, Barty alongside Sam Stosur, Ajla Tomljanovic, Astra Sharma and Priscilla Hon will lead Australia in the Fed Cup Final against France in Perth, where the team are hoping to win the first title in 45 years.
"This campaign is very close to my heart, I think it's beautiful because it encourages girls all across the nation to get involved, choose their own path and not listen to societal pressures. I was told a few times along the way that I was too short to make it," said the world No.1.
"I have always loved playing sport and remember picking up a racquet for the first time when I was five. I love all sports, and have made so many friends and met so many wonderful people through my tennis journey. I feel very fortunate for the opportunities tennis has provided me.
"Aside from the obvious health benefits, sport is a fantastic way to develop confidence and feel good by doing something physical. I hope to see more girls take up sport, whatever they choose.
"You don't have to be a professional athlete to experience the gifts sport delivers. The most important thing is having a go and having fun."
The campaign will accompany increased opportunities for women and girls in tennis as part of $12 million of Federal Government funding announced in January. Spanning four years, the funding is being used to expand Tennis Australia's already extensive women-in-sport initiatives.
These include a commitment to grow the number of female coaches, provide girl-specific talent development programs, foster female participation in community leadership and mentoring programs and to increase both the numbers of girls participating in tennis and those who go on to play the game competitively.
"We know girls often feel intimidated joining a sports club or exercising in public and we want to remove as many barriers to participation as possible," Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley said.
"Ash Barty is the perfect role model for young girls to challenge the status quo. She's an unconventional champion who had the courage to do it her own way."
A television commercial and social media content underpinning the campaign will highlight Barty's core message: to stay true to yourself with the tagline, 'I Play For Me', 'You Play For You' and aims to combat some of the barriers around girls and sport.
Ash is joined in the campaign by six girls, aged 13-14, and her three-year-old niece, Lucy, who has been an ongoing source of encouragement throughout the intense spotlight of international sporting fame.
The campaign will run across the summer and Barty encourages women and girls to share their own stories as well as those featured in the campaign, using the hashtag #PlayForYou.
"If one girl decides to play sport – or not give up playing sport – then I'll be extremely happy," said Barty.
Minister for Youth and Sport Richard Colbeck said the initiative was all about improving physical activity and growing participation.
"We want to make Australia the world's most healthy and active nation. Our national Sport 2030 plan is all about getting more Aussies more active, more often," Minister Colbeck said.
"Ash Barty is an absolute superstar and we're so pleased to be working with her as a role model for getting more women and girls into sport."

By Lawrence G. Lovasik, S.V.D.
Probably you just can't find the time — and can't ever seem to develop the patience — that you need in order to be consistently kind amid the irritations that afflict you daily. That's why this book is such a godsend.
There's nothing complicated or magical about learning to be kinder; it just takes greater attention to the things that you do and how you do them. The Hidden Power of Kindness shows you how to become more aware of even your most offhand daily actions. You'll find simple, step-by-step, and spiritually crucial directions for how to overcome the habitual unkindnesses that creep — undetected — into the behavior of even the most careful souls.
If you want to make progress in the spiritual life, you can't afford to miss the bracing insights in this handbook for souls who yearn to be kinder. They'll give you years of solid help in overcoming sin so that you'll live more fully with others — and truly transform your corner of the world!
Also includes a 67-question self-examination you can use to monitor your progress in growing kinder and holier!
"This work cannot fail to influence for the good all who are indirectly or directly touched by it."
"This wonderful book increases our insights into the wonders of the message that speaks so powerfully to us: `Love is patient, love is kind . . .' "
"Speaks passionately about the nature of true kindness."
"Fr. Lovasik's book on kindness clearly shows that kindness is love put into practice, and traces how kindness must begin in our thoughts, be communicated in our words, and reach its fullest expression in our daily actions. This book is made to order for anyone seriously wanting to respond to the present movement of the Holy Spirit to renew the face of the earth for Christ!"

Back in Pullman after their first loss of the season, this ought to be another game in which the Cougars easily handle yet another overmatched opponent. Obviously I haven't seen the Bengals at all, but by looking at their previous games, this is a team that plays OK defense but doesn't have a strong offense. The Bengals don't shoot the ball all that well, but what offense they do generate comes from two sources: Getting offensive rebounds and getting to the free throw line. Contain those two elements, which the Cougs ought to be able to do, and you contain Idaho State.
Since this is yet another inferior squad, you'll probably be more interested in how this team is getting ready for its next big test: Baylor on Saturday. As you watch the game tonight on FSN, here's what I would look for, and it all has to do with the offense:
Is Taylor Rochestie running the offense, or is it running him?
Are the Cougs attacking the basket with renewed gusto, and in a way that can translate to future success? (This is the ideal opponent for that, by the way -- Idaho State is ranked 340th nationally in free throw rate defense.)
Most importantly, does the offense feel like it has an identity?
This game is likely to be another blowout; let's hope we see some positive movement in the offense that leads us to believe that sustained success is on the horizon.

Finished the shaping of the last of four teeth for the dentists office today. He doesn't have a catchy name yet, I haven't come up with anything that tickles many fancy! He is listening to music on his smart phone while he waits his turn to see the dentist. He has a crack in his tooth (him). Rumour has it that the crack occurred when he resonated with a high volume AC/DC screaming sequence being played on his phone. Can you believe that even molars have smart phones these days!
Anyway he has eyes that move up and down as well and he rocks gently side to side to his music.
His earbuds will be trimmed to length later.

Geneva: Upmarket aim for Range Rover SV Coupe

Andrew Charman
Land Rover is bidding to take on the rising tide of SUVs from luxury manufacturers with a special version of the Range Rover.
A maximum number of 999 Range Rover SV Coupés will be made, and sold for £240,00 each, rivalling the likes of the Bentley Bentayga and Lamborghini Urus.
The clue to the car's construction is in the name. SV stands for Special Vehicle, the calling card of Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations division, which has already produced a number of specialist limited-edition models.
All-new construction
The two-door coupé is said to pay homage to the original two-door Range Rover of 1970. And it is much more than an upgrade of the existing Range Rover – the bonnet and lower tailgate are the only body panels carried over, the new panels crafted in aluminium as are the new front and rear bumpers.
Eight exterior colours will be offered, four of them new to Range Rover and dubbed Constellation, Parallax, Liquesence and Obsidian – nope, we have absolutely no idea what colours they actually are!
The SV Coupe will be the fastest Range Rover available – its 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine will push out 565hp and 700Nm of torque, resulting in a five-second 0-60mph time and a 165mph top speed.
It will also be designed to handle – its ride height is lowered by 8mm over the standard model and above 65mph it lowers by another 15mm to aid stability and fuel consumption. The SV Coupe is also the first Range Rover for which 23-inch wheels are available.
Despite the performance specification, the SV Coupe loses none of the full off-road ability that Land Rover is known for. The permanent all-wheel-drive remains, as does the two-speed transfer box and locking rear differential. Land Rover's Terrain Response 2 electronics are also retained.
The air suspension offers five modes, from a 5cm height reduction to ease access to the boot, to two off-road modes and further modes that can increase the ride height by up to 8cm.
Technology highlights inside include a 10-inch display, a 12-inch digital display ahead of the driver and a full-colour head-up display. The 1700w sound system has 23 speakers, including a dual-channel subwoofer.
Upmarket interior
The interior is upholstered in a choice of four two-tone finishes, while there are also four single-tone colours. The seats are heated, cooled and covered in a bespoke leather in a graduated diamond quilt design. The front seats adjust 20 ways and the rear seats 10.
Three wood veneer options, applied to the steering wheel rim, door panels, centre console, instrument panel and load floor, include a Nautica veneer that merges walnut and sycamore.
The SV Coupe will be hand-built at Land Rover's SVO unit in Warwickshire, with each created to the individual specification of its buyer.

I compiled a list of players and picks that are either obvious assets for Botterill to use in trade talks, or names that I've seen mentioned by fans in various instances. Not all of these are even likely to be moved, but an attempt to compile a somewhat comprehensive list of assets that could be packaged or players who could be moved in order to create new opportunities for others.
These are the most obvious and most valuable cards Botterill has to play. General draft pick value indicates that the Sharks pick isn't a lock to become a difference maker. The Sabres and Blues picks look as if they'll fall higher in the first round, making them a more attractive option for any team that ultimately acquires them.
Buffalo's recent play leads me to believe that their pick might be worth holding on to. A pick that they may even be able to package with something else to climb in the first round to ideally pick someone who might offer help at the NHL level sooner.
It would be a disappointment to see Botterill make three selections in the first round this summer. Whether it's ahead of the deadline or a draft day deal, I think it's important that Botterill turns at least one of those picks into an NHL player who can step in immediately. Using two of these four picks is probably the combination I'd prefer to see. Ideally using their 2020 first as one of those two would allow Botterill to pick twice this year and ideally deal a pick that will be lower than theirs will be this summer.
No matter what, you need to turn these picks into players with term. That may be Botterill's biggest challenge as there are only so many players who can be wrestled free who have even one year left on their contracts beyond 2019. But to burn a first round pick on a player who will only be in blue and gold until July 1, 2019, that would be a mistake.
Very few of these picks offer much of anything in terms of long-term value. Those two seconds provide some opportunity for cover in the Seattle expansion draft but a pick two drafts away needs to go to the right team to garner real value.
They are worth noting as pot sweeteners for any deals that may come. Buffalo's third this year could help bring in some short-term help as would next year's second. These could be of particular use in finding a cheap deadline rental. Perhaps a center who slots in below the likes of Kevin Hayes in this year's rental market.
Nylander is probably the most contentious player in the eyes of the fanbase. He's still struggling to find a consistent scoring touch at the AHL level but he's still only 20 years old and you can't take his draft status away from him. Somewhere there's a GM willing to take a chance on a 20-year old, former first round pick.
I'm on the fence when it comes to Nylander. At some point you need to see him to show something that shows he's ready to take the next step of his career. And it gets late early in today's NHL. Just how patient do you want to be?
Former first round picks tend to garner a fair return when it comes to trades, meaning Nylander would be a good candidate to offer up to a team looking to retool or even in a hockey trade. Not dissimilar to the trade that saw the Sabres deal Zack Kassian for Cody Hodgson. Hopefully with a better outcome this time around.
On the other hand, Nylander is still one of the most talented prospects the Sabres have at the moment. It's hard to part ways with a player like that, especially if you think there's an opportunity for him to step in and offer help to their top-nine as soon as the next few weeks. If there's a blockbuster that requires you to include Nylander, it's probably a deal you need to seriously consider.
Guhle is stuck in a similar spot as Nylander at the moment. A logjam of veterans has left him stashed in the AHL and it may be weighing on him as his development hasn't been as meteoric as it looked to be just a year or two ago. I think he still represents a great deal of value to the Sabres in the long term and may just be at the end of his rope in the AHL. It's a tired trope but I'll apply it here, I think Guhle's game would level up given the chance to play with the big club.
Still, he's a tremendous skater and only 21. Every NHL team is in the market for a defenseman like that. He'd be a good candidate to strengthen a trade and with Lawrence PIlut's emergence and Rasmus Dahlin making his expected impact, it might be easier to part ways with Guhle than it would've been just a year ago.
Allow me to clarify that I don't expect Samuelsson to be traded. He was selected by this regime and they'll want to see how he develops. Especially considering their preference for collegiate prospects who can over-cook even before signing their first professional contract. That being said, a high second round pick would garner a fair bit of attention in a trade.
Like with Guhle, the emergence of Pilut and Dahlin gives the Sabres two quality pieces on the left side and the opportunity to use one of their left-handed defense prospects in a trade. Given Samuelsson is just one season removed from his draft would give the acquiring team that much more control.
Both Samuelsson and Guhle strike me as perfect candidates to juice a trade to a team preparing to enter a rebuild. A club with quality talent that remains under contract but needing to trend younger. A defenseman factory like Anaheim comes to mind in this type of scenario.
I only include Smith because he's one of the few forwards in the pipeline with any sort of track record of success. It's a shame he hasn't gotten a longer look at the NHL level and he was signed by the previous GM so I suppose there's some potential that he'd get moved, but I don't see it. He's nearly a point-per-game player in the AHL and one of the few players they can have some confidence in producing once he's recalled for good. So he's probably not going anywhere.
Asplund is in his first North American season and there hasn't been a boatload of offense to show for it, but there's still a lot to pick up from the former second rounder. As far as trade assets go, he'd be a worthy candidate to slide into a bigger package. Think Johan Larsson or JT Compher.
You can run Asplund's recap back for Davidsson just without the North American experience. He's a Botterill pick, so like Samuelsson he's probably got a little more protection than some other players in the system. Still worth mentioning as a potential chip.
He's the one player on the roster we know for certain is on the block as it's been reported that he asked for a trade to a team where he can get more playing time. I think he gets a bad rap due to last year's performance. But he's been more than serviceable this season despite his limited playing time. I'm not confident that the Sabres can get the same value they paid last year, though the difference between a third round pick and a fourth is minimal. I'd prefer they explore moving another left hander (more on that later) before Beaulieu. But he's not getting in the lineup and he's the one most likely to be moved. It won't be for much and maybe they can toss that pick into something else. But I'm not going to go overboard trying to read tea leaves on this one.
Scandella makes $4 million per year and has another season left on his contract. Short of retaining salary and a drastic turnaround in play, Scandella isn't going anywhere. But if there's someone to cut bait with, he's the one.
Acquiring Scandella last year was a really smart bit of business by Botterill. He gave up two of the most popular pieces of dead weight on the roster and a mid-round selection to get an immediate upgrade to his blueline. It was a necessary addition and Scandella offered some steadiness last year. But his play this year has been nothing short of disastrous, yet he remains a lineup regular. It's been frustrating to watch and unless some sort of perfect storm arises where a contender wants a veteran, stay-at-home guy, I just don't see him moving. As much as the fanbase may want him to.
Nelson shares some similarities with Beaulieu; buried on the depth chart with the added issue of an injury keeping him out of the lineup. He's a nice depth piece who can probably be an effective bottom pair player for the Sabres in the long term. But there are other righties in the system who will be knocking on the door eventually. I think the numbers game will continue to work against him and he has a very team-friendly contract. If you're in the market for adding a few more picks to the arsenal for future trades, Nelson might be another drop in the bucket.
A lot of focus is being placed on the cadre of first round picks and the weakest portions of the roster. However, I think McCabe might be the player who offers Botterill the most flexibility. He's young, on a cheap ticket with team control. He's a steady defender who could help contenders or retooling teams alike. He's a perfect candidate for a hockey trade, maybe even in a deal for a player who would otherwise cost the Sabres a first round pick.
The rub with McCabe is that he is and has been an effective piece for the Sabres defense corps. He's a top-four player at the moment and it's easy to see him as part of the puzzle moving forward. It's for that very reason he's a quality trade candidate. They'd obviously miss him but I think he's possibly the best candidate to move in a deal that would reshuffle the roster while maintaining Botterill's control over his most valuable draft capital.

Q: Black Ops 2 is freezing I have been having very bad issues with my Black Ops 2.
First, it disconnected me from online every time I tried, so I stopped playing it for about 4 months.
That problem stopped, and now it keeps on freezing on the multiplayer match load screen. It works just fine on zombies and campaign. I have done everything I could find to fix it, but it doesn't work. I even got another XBox, and that didn't work.
The disk is in perfect condition no scratches whatsoever, and it works just fine on my friends PS3.

A: I had exactly the same problem when running Black Ops 2 on a old piano-style 20GB PS3.  Thinking that the PS3 was just too old, I got a Slim from Ebay.  But it kept crashing in multiplayer - in the same way as the old PS3.  I tried cooling it with a massive fan, hoovering out all the fluff, etc. with no effect.
As a last-ditch attempt, I took the disk (which looked absolutely flawless) back to the shop, got a replacement, and this works PERFECTLY.  Honestly, I was quite shocked.
My guess is that there are a number of disks out there which are faulty (bad pressings?).  The manufacturers will expect some faulty disks, but maybe this game has a few too many - given that so many people have similar problems.
What probably makes the problem worse is that the faulty disks make their way onto the secondhand market, as people are so fed-up with them.  That just passes the problem on to someone else...

Cold-blooded yet caring: The reptile parents
Muntasir Akash

Reptiles are known as stone-hearted creatures. In reality, they are exemplary parents. Their sophisticated care for the younglings is an evolutionary wonder and a lesson on survival
Baby gharials are basking on their father's back. Photo: Dhritiman Mukherjee
Day seventy-three. Covid-19 crisis deepens in Bangladesh. No more sedentary, concealed lifestyle in fear of the virus. We feel bound to step out to keep up with the world. We embrace the new normals being austere and thick-skinned. To earn the bread and butter, in other words, we feel cold-blooded. Thinking this… the thought strikes me down. What is way of life for those whose bloods are cold for real? Do they know no love or compassion – at least, for their kin? How do they survive being so 'stone-hearted'? Can we learn anything to go with the situation?
In biology, these are reptiles – snakes, turtles, tortoises, crocodiles, lizards, tuatara – that we stamped with the term 'cold-blooded'. In science, it is called ectothermy – a dependency of body heat on the surrounding weather. This sort of reliance on weather throws certain handicap. You may call it primitive, savage way. In contrast, the descendants of the slithery Basilisk, the poisonous Komodo, the feared Sobek, and the sturdy Kurma are successful for millennia, way before the way of Man. Except for the Anthropocene, the age of extinction, these primeval brutes have survived against all odds. Literally.
Today, we will look into their one mean of success: Their care of the offspring – the most sacred act ever known.
Why do they care?
Before delving further, I must clarify the basics. The standard motive of parenting is survival of the species. The standard means of doing so come with attendance and provisioning the babies. The higher the animal is in the tree of evolution, the better we see the best practices. In reptiles, the tell-tale signs are mostly subtle. But, no matter how bewildering it might sound, reptiles do invest in their young. Active instances of parental care are observed among over 1000 of species, a roughly one-tenth of total diversity.

Some do with high dedication. Dr Carl Gans, a famed herpetologist from the University of Michigan, divide reptilian parenting in three major categories: (1) investment in making an ideal nest, (2) active attention for the neonates and (3) tweaking with the incubation environment. The third category is mastered by the reptiles; they do the act with perfection.
Build the perfect nest

Tell me, in a world full of muck, adversaries and challenges beyond your perception, what you would do first to safeguard the offspring. Make a safe home, right? Yes. The reptiles too know the trick. With a spoonful of brain, they measure tricky calculations: robustness of materials, depth, humidity and many other parameters. Most importantly, reptiles need to predict future environs before the laying of eggs. Best reptilian nest builders are present in all major groups.
All crocodiles do construct an ideal ground for the clutch out of foliage, mud and twigs. King cobra, the largest venomous snake, does build nest in the forest floor. Forest and river terrapins do the same. Sea-turtles does not do all the fuss. But, like all reptiles, they do know one certain special act. The nest mound does maintain an incubating temperature. The level is so fine and perfect that only certain fractional difference in temperature determines their sex. Re-think the infamous term 'cold-blooded'. Can you rather sense a sheer notion of intelligence?
Brooding: Egg attendance
There is one group that develops this certain trait. The skinks, a type of slippery-looking, short-legged lizards, do not stop at nest making. Like birds, they become the brooder, provide ambient heat until the hatching. The grass-lizards, a legless snake-like, close cousin of skinks, are also known for brooding. King cobra and some pythons do provide similar heat by coiling around their clutch. Brooding reptiles perform one interesting act: they eat non-viable eggs and filth to stop contamination of the nest. Again, don't forget to re-think their infamy. Even, brute nature knows how, where and when to love.
The act of guarding

The next level of parental investment comes in form of vigilance. Here, crocodiles are the winner. Crocodilians vigorously protect their nesting ground. Don't be surprised to know their formidable stance for their eggs. We all know that crocs can eat anything and everything. So, they do show cannibalism. Yet, the survival instinct triggers their right senses. Mother crocs make very sophisticated parent. After burying their riverside nests, the expecting crocs wait nearby, protecting her eggs from predators or any other danger. The wait can last up to three months.
Provisioning the neonates
Perhaps, the most advanced form of parenting comes by attending the newborn. The reptiles do this too. Again, the crocodiles, the deadliest of all, stand out in the crowd. From carrying their young to bringing food to the nest ground, all details are carried out by them. A crocodilian can make multiple nests at an established territory called crèche and attend every one of them. Most exceptional of all reptiles, male of crocodiles also takes part in the caring ritual. The jaw than tear apart a zebra in seconds can be very careful while carrying the young. Male gharials, the fish-eating crocodilian, reach the height. The dominating male defends a territory, protects a group of females, attends all nests, tends the young and even let his body to be used by them as basking platform while floating in the river. Baby crocs can even vocalize to contact their parents.

Now, you see, reptiles are not as savage as they are known since the prehistoric times. When the term is survivability, they show a spectacular array of acts for their younglings. In the anthropomorphic sense, we call it love. Love enables these primitive creatures to understand and cope with nature. And, by doing these, they are thriving for ages. They might be failing in the age of extinction.
But, do we have the respect for nature that it deserves? Can we come back to our senses to tackle a more challenging world? There is much to learn from the wilderness.
Some extreme instances
Natal homing
Sea-turtle hatchlings are on their own from birth
Sea-faring turtles are undoubtedly one of the most solitary creatures on the planet. Other than a carefully chosen nest site, they don't do any other care for the hatchlings. Yet, the babies, once reached adulthood, return to the same site to complete the cycle. They outperform all challenges by passing the information genes. The act of coming to the breeding ground by the hatchlings is called natal homing.
Ovoviviparity
Sea-snakes giving birth
Many lizards and certain snakes including python, boas, and sea-snakes show a strange phenomenon. In biology, we call it ovoviviparity. It is as complex as hard to pronounce. Here, the mother retains the shelled eggs inside her body. Completely developed eggs hatch inside the womb after certain periods. This fiddly performance, however, gives many advantages. Say for sea-snakes, ovoviviparity frees them to search for a dry nesting ground in the vastness of sea.
Communal breeding
Spectacled Caiman-a communal breeder
Even stranger it may appear, few reptiles take parental care to an unthinkable peak. Many species care and share the nesting ground together. This quite astounding show by always aggressive group of animals was highlighted in a peer-reviewed study in the journal Quarterly Review in Biology. The researchers found about 481 species, including nearly 300 lizards, breed in groups. This behaviour assures extra-protection against danger.

ISBN 978-0-85745-460-7 25% OFF! $120.00/£85.00 $90.00/£63.75 Hb Published (June 2012)
"The essays are very high quality, written by well-qualified researchers, and address a subject of high interest to those concerned with development/political issues related to the Middle East. They…make a significant contribution to the field of educational reform and development, identity construction and nation building." · Eleanor Doumato, Watson Institute, Brown University
"This volume will prove a valuable contribution for scholars and policymakers interested in educational policy, curricular reform, historiography, and Arab World identities." · Nabil Al-Tikriti, University of Mary Washington
Education systems and textbooks in selected countries of the Middle East are increasingly the subject of debate. This volume presents and analyzes the major trends as well as the scope and the limits of education reform initiatives undertaken in recent years. In curricula and teaching materials, representations of the "Self" and the "Other" offer insights into the contemporary dynamics of identity politics. By building on a network of scholars working in various countries in the Middle East itself, this book aims to contribute to the evolution of a field of comparative education studies in this region.

CaMKII delta Antibodies
The Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CaM kinases) comprise a structurally related subfamily of serine/threonine kinases which include CaMKI, CaMKII and CaMKIV. CaMKII is an ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine protein kinase that is activated by Ca2+ and calmodulin (CaM) and has been implicated in regulation of the cell cycle and transcription. There are four CaMKII isozymes, designated alpha, beta, gamma and delta, which may or may not be coexpressed in the same tissue type. CaMKIV is stimulated by Ca2+ and CaM but also requires phosphorylation by a CaMK for full activation. View more

Based on the novel by A.J. Betts, about 2 teens battling cancer in the same hospital.
As Mia begins to wrap her head around her new situation, Zac receives clarity on his Make A Wish.
Zac's possible release day takes a turn that nobody sees coming.
A surprise visit from Zac's best friend Cam serves as the reality check that Zac doesn't need, and on the other side of the wall, Mia inquires about the voice behind her late night lullaby.
"Zac and Mia", based on the novel by A.J. Betts, about 2 teens battling cancer in the same hospital. In the real world, Zac and Mia would have pretty much nothing in common, but in the hospital, where they're the only 2 teens on the ward, they develop an unbreakable bond. If cancer is the variable that changed everything, the only constant is their ever-deepening need for one another.
When I saw the trailer for this I was skeptical. A story along the lines of The Fault In Our Stars, but done in 12 minute increments? How could that possibly be any good? Well, I can tell you right now, the descriptions and trailers for this don't do it justice...this is one of the best, most touching, and best of all REAL things that I have seen in a long time. It is incredible. Heartwarming, sweet, at times vicious in its honesty, and it can be hard to watch because it pulls no punches and doesn't sugar-coat the realities of dealing with cancer, and at such a young age too.

MLB Playoff Power Rankings
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim v Houston Astros / Bob Levey/Getty Images
The 2019 MLB Postseason officially starts today. The Wild Card games are in the books and now three legitimate World Series contenders and five solid playoff teams can play actual series. Which team will be left standing in November?
8. St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals won their division, but finished with the 10th-most wins in baseball this season. 18 teams scored more runs than the Cardinals. If baseball didn't have a 1,000 year history, people would look at the Cardinals and say MLB needs to change their playoff format.
7. Washington Nationals
The Nationals had the second-most quality starts in baseball this season. If Max Scherzer is better than he was in the Wild Card game and Stephen Strasburg is as good as he was, then the Nationals have a shot in any series. But that's a lot of ifs for a team that, historically, isn't granted many favors from the baseball gods.
6. Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays had the best team ERA in baseball this season. You would think they have momentum from their Wild Card win, but only three of eight Wild Card winners in the last four seasons have gone on to win another postseason series. And none of those teams had to face the 2019 Astros, who are quite good, as you may have heard.
5. Atlanta Braves
The Braves haven't won a World Series since 1995. That streak will probably continue this year, but they get the Cardinals in the divisional round. They beat the Cardinals in their season series, 4-2. However, Ronald Acuña Jr is dealing with a hip injury and his health will be the key to the Braves postseason. The 2018 NL Rookie of the Year was 5th in home runs this season and led the league in stolen bases.
4. Minnesota Twins
The Twins won 101 games this season and hit a league-high 307 home runs. They went 18-9 in September. They are 0-1 in the poseason since 2011 and haven't won a World Series since 1991. They are firmly in the group of teams that are decided underdogs, who could make a run, but will almost assuredly end up losing to the Yankees, Dodgers or Astros. The bad news for the Twins is they start with the Yankees.
3. New York Yankees
The Yankees have been in the playoffs three of the last four seasons, just like the Astros, but haven't won a World Series since 2009. Giancarlo Stanton returns from an injury-riddled season to a lineup that that scored a league-high 943 runs this season and hit 306 home runs. They have all the Yankees mystique, and all the New York pressure. If they win, no one will be surprised. If they don't everyone will consider the season another huge failure. New York is the best.
2. Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers won 92 games last season and went to the World Series where they lost to the Boston Red Sox. This year they won 106 games and gave up a league-low 613 runs. They enter the playoffs after going 18-6 in September and have won their last seven games. They should be the team to come out of the NL where they'll have either the Astros or Yankees waiting.
1. Houston Astros
This is Houston's fourth postseason appearance in the last five seasons. They have won more than 100 games in each of the last three seasons and won the 2017 World Series. Seven different Astros players hit 20+ home runs this season and Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole each had a 20-win season. Thanks to those two the Astros had the most quality starts in baseball. They have all the firepower and pitching to win the World Series, and by these rankings, we expect them to.

HIPP HA Pre is perfect for babies starting formula milk, from birth to 3 months. You can feed it exclusively or as a supplement for breast milk.
This Hypoallergenic formula was specially developed for babies who might show symptoms of allergy or intolerance. It contains hydrolyzed dairy, which means that the milk proteins have been broken down into very small pieces, which avoids detection by the immune system and therefore avoids allergic reactions.
While HiPP recommends breastfeeding, if you need to supplement or exclusively feed formula, HiPP developed this formula that resembles breast milk and does not contain Maltodextrin or starch. Choosing a formula that does not contain starch is important at this stage because starch gives your newborn a false feeling of fullness, and at this important stage of their life, you want your little one to get all those important nutrients, vitamins and minerals they need for essential growth and health.
HiPP HA Pre is easy to digest, all the ingredients are very gentle on your baby`s stomach and it has a high protein content.
By choosing HiPP Hypoallergenic you are selecting a formula that has no added sugar, contains no GMO, hormones or steroids and of course excludes artificial chemicals or flavoring, and it also has no added preservatives.

We were looking for an alternate to Enfamil formula as I don't make enough breast milk for my son. After going through a number of formulas and sleepless nights due to gas and irritation, this was the only one that worked. The best part is that I don't feel bad using this supplement because it's organic and doesn't contain harmful ingredients.
Our kiddo had a pretty good rash on his cheeks from what we think is a milk allergy! We switched over to the Hipp HA Pre, and within 2 weeks his face had cleared up. These folks are amazing with their advice and customer service!!!
I highly recommend Organi Baby Food Shop if you're looking for fast shipping and quality products. My daughter uses HIPP HA and we never have to worry about our shipments getting to us on time when we order from this company.
So, they are based in Austin, Tx where we live, and one of the owners was nice enough to get it to me ASAP because we were completely out. I had ordered it from another company whose two day shipping turned into 3 day shipping. Buying the five formula boxes option saved me money, and I got the formula super quick. Plus, the owner is super nice, and I owe him big time for going above and beyond at no extra cost. I will only order from this company from now on where it is always 1 day shipping. Thank you!

It is crucial to get Mortgage Fit if you are self employed to get the best mortgage offers.
For many contractors, the flexibility that comes with their career is what makes contracting attractive. Working as an Interim, contractor or freelancer allows you to be selective with the assignments you work.
Having this flexibility also provides the opportunity to take planned career breaks or work abroad. Despite the benefits, there are several challenges facing self-employed professionals.
One of the most common challenges that comes with self-employment is around gaining finance.
Whether this be for a mortgage or personal loan, it can be a challenge. specialist Contractor Mortgage brokers are experts in providing mortgages for independent professionals.
How many people are 'self-employed'?
As it stands there are approximately 4.8 million self-employed in the UK today, many of whom are expats and foreign nationals on long term contracts, returning or relocating to the UK.
When it comes to buying a house, these employees can represent some of the highest quality lending for banks, as they are often highly skilled specialist, commanding long terms contracts in lucrative roles.
How do I get a mortgage if I'm a contractor?
Many self-employed professionals believe that it's almost impossible to get a mortgage as a contractor and would therefore rather continue renting than attempt to buy their own home. But are contractor mortgages really that hard to come by?
As a contractor, it can certainly look like a tough proposition to secure a mortgage but there are many things you can do to position yourself favourably in the eyes of potential lenders.
We've put together a list of handy tips to help you get mortgage fit and secure a contractor mortgage.
Here are 6 mortgage tips that will make you mortgage fit.
Make sure you have a copy of your most recent contract to hand when putting together your mortgage application.
It's important to be able to show lenders not only how much income you have, but also how long you have remaining on your contract.
There are many perks to working as a contractor, not least being able to take breaks between contracts should you wish to.
This is great for holidays or similar. However, you should try and avoid taking breaks of anything more than 6-8 weeks.
This is because lenders want to see consistent income and contracts stretching back 12-24 months prior to your mortgage application.
Lenders don't view favourably long gaps between income .
A common mistake many professionals make when searching for a contractor mortgage is being unrealistic when it comes to estimating their repayments. It's really important when putting your mortgage application together that you make sure the repayments you commit to are going to be affordable for you.
Most lenders will require you to have a good-sized deposit when you apply for a contractor mortgage.
Not so long ago it was possible to secure a mortgage with just a 5% deposit, but those days are in the past now.
Ideally, you should aim to have at least a 10% deposit ready to pay upfront.
Some contractors may find themselves with more money than they need on a regular basis thanks to high-value or frequent contracts.
If this sounds like you, you should try to find a mortgage that allows you to pay chunks off in addition to your regular monthly repayments.
This will enable you to take maximum advantage of your position and pay-off more of your mortgage quicker.
Securing a mortgage from a high-street lender is where the difficulties start for many contractors. You may find that your initial application gets acceptance in principle due to their very light and superficial credit checks.
However, once you've placed an offer on a property, high-street lenders will often do a more in-depth review of your finances, and then withdraw at a later stage.
Instead, we suggest that you get mortgage fit, do your homework and look for specialist lenders.
Companies that have experience and are specialists when it comes to contractor mortgages are much more likely to produce favourable results.
Also, using a professional mortgage broker within this field can prove invaluable.
