While growing up you must have used a chart known as "An Ideal Boy" (Adarsh Balak) either for your homework or as a class lesson.
But, Priyesh Trivedi, a Mumbai artist started publishing his own version of "An Ideal Boy" and instantly became a viral sensation. His art work is a deep reflection of the present day generation's reaction to the same situations mentioned in the chart.

2. A Smoke A Day Keeps The Tension Away, Dad!
3. Let's Give This World One More Adarsh Balak!
4. Nothing Better Than The Feeling Of Getting High!

WHAT A WEEK! Things are looking more like summer for the solstice tomorrow as calm conditions take hold over the next couple of days and a stable pattern sets up. While we'll have some clouds in the forecast, chances of rain are minimal. We check out where we stand as we approach the official start of the season in today's Three Things.
Soak In Summer! A young muskellunge suns in the shallows. Simonson Photo.
Today: 6/20 – Midweek marvel. Hi 80, Lo 60, Wind N@7.
Tomorrow: 6/21 – Better yet! Hi 82, Lo 58, Wind S@7.
EDGE HOUR: 8:00-9:00PM. The stretch leading into sunset will provide you a bite with moon overhead in the Edge Hour.
NOT AS DRY. Things are noticeably greener this spring, as recent rains have helped stave off severe drought conditions. With significant rain in the southeast, streams and rivers like the Sheyenne are swollen from recent downpours. Roughly two-thirds of the state remain in dry or moderate drought conditions right now.
SOME SOAKERS. With most of the state receiving 1-to-3 inches of rain over the last two weeks, things are setting up nicely for the onset of summer as vegetation grows higher, creating more cover for upland game chicks and providing more of the insects they need to survive. Areas of 3-to-5 inches of rain have fallen in the southwest corner of the state, helping to replenish cover there as well.
LOOKING GOOD. The near-term forecasts show a week of high temperatures in the low 80s for much of North Dakota, with a chance at rain coming later on Sunday, but not in amounts that would be considered a wash out. Get ready for a great weekend!

Breaking the XML Data Bottleneck
By: eWeek Editors | May 07, 2001
As the amount of XML data continues to grow, the market for databases capable of easily handling that data also is sprouting.
Startup Ipedo Inc. this week will announce the upcoming release of its native Extensible Markup Language database, which allows customers to quickly process XML data and reduce bottlenecks in their systems.
"We believe XML content is growing in all markets—in B2B [business-to-business], in the Web and in wireless," said Tim Matthews, president and co-founder of Ipedo, in Redwood City, Calif.
The 9-month-old Ipedos main competitor is German company Software AG, which sells a native XML database called Tamino.
How to Improve Remote Collaboration in 2021
While just starting to evaluate Ipedo, beta testers said there is a growing demand for XML databases.
"We project a big need for combined queries against both XML and relational databases," said John Case, senior developer with iMedium Inc., in Wayne, Pa. Case is evaluating Ipedo as well as Tamino and Microsoft Corp.s SQL Server. "I think its an important space, and there is a lot more room for serving different needs."
Tools with native XML support are typically easier to integrate, said Paul Brown, president and CEO of FiveSight Technologies Inc., an XML-based tools company in Chicago. Brown also is evaluating Ipedo.
"XML has now become one of the standard tools for enterprise infrastructure, and its a great time to be in the XML space because so many people are awakening to it," Brown said.
Ipedo XML Database, which is based on Java, can enable up to a tenfold performance increase over a typical relational database, Matthews said. Ipedos product, slated to ship next week, works in conjunction with a relational database as a caching tier on top of the database.
Users can import XML data from the relational database or file server for faster queries and transformations. Ipedo XML Database includes the Main Memory Database Engine, which reduces CPU overhead, and better indexing technology. Ipedo also uses XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) and Xpath (a subset of XSLT) for fast translations of XML data.
Users can connect the database to BEA Systems Inc.s WebLogic or IBMs WebSphere application servers through EJBs (Enterprise JavaBeans). Pricing for Ipedo XML Database starts at $50,000 per server.

High tension cable kills thirty football fans in Calabar – Royal Times of Nigeria.
No fewer than thirty people lost their lives in Calabar, the Cross River State capital on Thursday night after a high tension cable fell on them at a football viewing centre.
The football fans were said to have assembled at the centre to watch a UEFA Europa League quarter-final match between Manchester United and Anderlecht on satellite television.
Report says that the live electricity cable broke from its mooring and fell on the viewers.
A survivor said a transformer near the viewing centre located in the Iyang-Esu area of Calabar municipal local government area, exploded during the match. He said this caused a high-tension cable to drop on the viewing centre.
Another witness, who said he was the first to run out of the viewing centre, told newsmen that the victims died as a result of a contact between the live cable and the roof of the viewing centre.
Electricity authorities said it is illegal to erect any building around areas with high tension cables.

Shakhtar Donetsk star reveals desire to join Milan: "I would like to play for such a big club"
By Oliver Fisher - 27 November 2020, 19:30
Shakhtar Donetsk defender Mykola Matvienko has revealed his desire to play for AC Milan, with the Rossoneri and rivals Juventus apparently interested.
Matvienko is a product of the FC Shakhtar youth academy and he has risen through the ranks since he started at the club all the way back in 2009, signing his first professional contract for the Ukrainian Premier League side in 2013.
He played for three years for the Shakhtar youth team in the reserves and in summer 2015 he was promoted to the senior side. He made his debut for Shakhtar in a game against FC Chornomorets Odesa on 3 October 2015, and now he is a firm fixture in the Ukrainian national team.
Of course, it is during his international exploits that he finds the head coach Shevchenko, a man who is a Milan legend. He gave an interview to Calciomercato.com and was asked about what it is like to be coached by Shevchenko.
"Sometimes, Mr. Shevchenko tells us stories from the past of that legendary Milan and we always listen to him with great interest," he said.
"Of course I would like to play for such a big club and in a top level league in general. What I have to do is earn the attention of this type of team."
Matvienko is a left-footed central defender who can also play at left-back and is considered a very highly-rated player domestically.
It seems the 24-year-old feels ready to take the leap to a major European club such as Milan, or possible another Italian team.
"I can't talk about it yet, it's my manager who deals with these problems."

The new plan to remove Andrew Jackson from the front of the $20 bill and leave Alexander Hamilton on the $10 perfectly represents a historical shift within the American progressive movement. Back when the Roosevelts were its leaders and Arthur Schelsinger its historian, the progressive movement identified with Jefferson and Jackson because they stood up for small farmers and tradesmen against "the moneyed interests." But back then, as now, the nation's worst racists were mainly poor whites. Ordinary American farmers loved Jackson's ethnic cleansing of Indians out of the southeast, since it freed up more land for them and gave them what they saw as a victory over their historic enemies. Then, as now, many of the white people most interested in helping blacks and Indians were rich city folks like Benjamin Franklin, or cultural elitists like Emerson and Thoreau. So the leaders who were most popular with poor whites mostly had terrible records when it came to Indians and blacks.
These days it means something very different to be a progressive. These days respect for the rights of women and minorities is the absolute standard, and while progressives all say they favor the poor over the rich their actual economic policies fall on a wide spectrum from Bernie Sanders to Bill Clinton. In our America financier Alexander Hamilton can be the hero of a hip-hop musical because he opposed slavery and fought against southern white slave owners, never mind that his policies amounted to a sweet deal for financial speculators and a raw one for many poor veterans.
Personally I never liked Jackson and will be happy to see the last of his face. But it would be misrepresenting American history to portray Hamilton as some kind of progressive, or to forget that Jackson really was a great hero to millions of poor and middle class whites.
"But it would be misrepresenting American history to portray Hamilton as some kind of progressive, or to forget that Jackson really was a great hero to millions of poor and middle class whites."
I don't think anyone is forgetting the fact Jackson was a great hero to millions - I think rather that people today are simply ashamed by that fact. The notion that millions of our forebearers cheered the man responsible for The Trail of Tears leaves a bitter taste in the mouths of many now. We seek to distance ourselves from such misdeeds as we today see them, and hence the removal of Jackson from our currency.
Symbols on money have always been about the present moment, rather than about the past. When a new king or emperor rose to power in antiquity, he minted new coins to commemorate his rise. When a great battle was won, or a war successfully concluded, new designs were put into circulation glorifying the deeds and mocking or lording over the vanquished.
Even in America, our currency has spent more time changing to reflect current values than it has remaining static to preserve traditions. In our earlier years, we favored depictions of Liberty on our currency, and shied away from depicting actual national people, living or dead. Then in the 20th century, our focus shifted toward celebrating our leaders in the form of our presidents. And then it shifted again recently toward depictions of the symbols and iconography of the states of the union. Personally I'd rather prefer going back to depictions of Liberty, as a form of aspiration toward noble ideals that seem to have been lost somewhat over time, but...

confirmed that there is enough space and proper permission on the folder's..
someone please suggest what could have gone wrong??
Would look at archive destination on the Standby. Is it correct? Do you have enough disk/FRA space for it?
Are you using FRA or not?
if you using FRA post below output.
There is enough space on disk... Please suggest how can we resolve this issue.
Fair enough, thanks for the details.
Can you post for both Primary and Standby the settings for this parameters?
If the Standby DEST is not 2 please post that instead. I'm thinking one of the Key Parameters must be OFF.
If Oracle 11R2 then Oracle doc E10700-02 section "3.1.4 Set Primary Database Initialization Parameters" and "3.2.3 Create a Parameter File for the Standby Database"
should shake it out, I asked for the most likely ones only.
Thanks for the reply mseberg..
Please suggest what could have gone wrong? I can see logs number's switching in standby not they are not getting applied..
So I both servers log_archive_dest_1 is not set?
uses the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 initialization parameter (if it has not already been set) as the default destination for local archiving. Also, see Chapter 15 for complete LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n information.
My take is since you are not using FRA this parameter is not defined by default. I would probably set it on both, but frankly I'm not sure this will solve your issue. If it does I would sure like to know about it so i can add it to my notes.
Would consider setting standby_file_management to 'Auto' on both.
Would consider setting log_archive_dest_state_2 to 'DEFER' on the Standby.
Thanks a lot for your help mseberg .... It's on my home env, i'll check if it works... and let you know..

Penile enlargement with methacrylate injection
Sao Paulo Med. J. vol.131 no.1 São Paulo 2013
http://dx.doi.o rg/10.1590/S151 … 802013000100009
Penile enlargement with methacrylate injection: is it safe?
Fabio Cesar Miranda TorricelliI, Enrico Martins de AndradeI, Giovanni Scala MarchiniI, Roberto Iglesias LopesI, Joaquim Francisco Almeida ClaroI, Jose CuryII, Miguel SrougiIII
A 36-year-old male sought medical care with a complaint of penile deformity and sexual dysfunction after methacrylate injection. The treatment administered was surgical removal. Satisfactory cosmetic and functional results were reached after two months.
Today, several interventions for penile enlargement are sold to men who desire a bigger and more attractive penis, both by physicians and by lay people, often with media support. However, the "experimental" nature of this kind of approach is almost never completely explained to these patients, who believe that they are undergoing a modern and safe procedure. The best option and outcome for penile girth augmentation remain unclear. None of the penile enhancement techniques have been approved by any of the professional societies, and the majority are performed in private settings, thereby leading to medical-legal implications and paucity of specific data. 1 Another important issue is how to identify patients who would benefit from penile augmentation. Moreover, concerns continue with regard to deciding what the valid indications for performing such procedures would be, selecting the most suitable procedure and designating the outcome measurements.
Invasive filler injection procedures have been reported to be capable of meeting patient expectations. Yacobi et al. 7 reported their experience with ultra-purified liquid injectable silicone for penile shaft augmentation among a considerable sample of 324 patients. Three to six sessions were performed and, after a mean follow-up of 20 months (range 1-36 months), these investigators reported that an increase in penile girth of 27% had been achieved. No complications were noted.
Many fillers are available for tissue augmentation, 2−5 but the ideal filling substance remains unknown. Such a substance would be biocompatible, non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic, non-inflammatory, nontoxic, easy to use, stable after injection, non-migratory, natural looking and not too expensive. In our case, methacrylate injection was used for penile enhancement. Methacrylates are the salts or esters of methacrylic acid and are common monomers in polymer plastics, forming the acrylate polymers. In comparison, other synthetic fillers such as polytetrafluoroethylene and silicone, with irregular surfaces, are more prone to cause chronic granulomas reactions. 8 Table 1 shows the lack of experience in the literature, regarding methacrylate for penile girth augmentation.
Although several options are available for penile girth augmentation, none of them is free from complications.
Wassermann and Greenwald 9 reported the case of a 42-year-old man who had had silicone injected into his corpora cavernosa 14 years prior to his presentation with edema of the penis and scrotum. The patient had palpable siliconomas obstructing the glans and required surgical resection.
More recently, Silberstein et al. 6 reported the case of a 61-year-old male hospitalized for treatment of cellulitis in his right lower extremity who, in the physical examination, was found to present a grossly edematous circumcised penis with marked firm swelling. A computed tomography scan revealed a diffusely enlarged penis, with multiple rounded structures showing peripheral calcification, of which the largest measured 2.3 cm, distortion of the soft tissues, and poor viewing of the corpus cavernosum and spongiosum. The patient admitted that a nonmedical practitioner had injected a "silicone mixture" several years earlier (the patient could only guess at around 10-15 years earlier). He was "pleased" and declined any further intervention. Shaeer et al. 10 reported the case of a 28-year-old male who presented with a subcutaneous mass in the penile shaft, which had resulted in deformity and difficult intromission, as well as coital pain for the female partner. He had injected gel into the penis two years prior to presentation. The injected material had started to migrate and had coalesced into a painless mass. The patient requested surgical removal of the mass, which was done without complications. These cases have many points in common with the case that we presented here, thus showing that penile deformity and sexual dysfunction may be serious complications from injection of fillers for girth augmentation.
Moreover, a report on complications after injection of various polymethyl methacrylate-based dermal fillers had already been published by Salles et al., 8 such as tissue necrosis, granulomas, chronic inflammatory reaction and infection.

Madinda said this after Bosso surrendered their lead to go down 3-1 at the hands of Harare City on Saturday.
It is City's first win of the season.
City coach Mark Harrison fielded juniors who were difficult to contain for the visiting team.
Prince Dube gave Bosso the lead in the 25th minute before Munyaradzi Diro-Nyenye equalised three minutes later.
Walter Mukanga gave City the lead in the 34th minute before Tatenda Tumba sealed the victory in the 57th minute.
Mukanga missed an opportunity to grab a brace after his spot kick was saved.
"City were much hungrier than us today. We gave it away very cheap. The boys did not come to the party.
"We were struggling to distribute our passes. It goes back to our preparations.
"I did not say we are not a decent squad, I am talking about the shortcomings or the disruptions we got during our preseason camp.
"In the past two games we were very lucky to walk out with a point.
"We are not anywhere near what we should be. This is not the Highlanders that we know.
"We are a good team, we have good players, we just have to make sure that we pick up and get to a certain level that we win games and that is gained when you do proper preseason planning.
"It's too early to start crying. We will do what we know best and make sure we come back in the game.
"We are not at the peak of our fitness that is why the players are not reacting fast.
"Losing one game doesn't mean we cannot win the championship.
"You can lose four games and still win the championship.

Q: minimum trace spacing error A PCB made with KiCad has a configured clearance of 0.152 (6mil) but when I send it to JLC site I have this warning:
"Attention please, the minimum trace spacing is out of our capability, your order may be canceled"
And in the analysis detail it says:
"minimum trace spacing : 0.96 mil"
I made a DRC check and nothing was reported, I guess that if some track was dragged too close to another then I'd have an error, right?
Is it the manufacturers check that is not working? How can I make sure my KiCad PCB is ok?
Thanks in advance,
Pedro

A: In Pcbnew, click Tools -> DRC. This open the Design Rule Checking (DRC) tool. It checks trace spacing (clearance), as well as trace widths and via sizes. Minimum clearance between traces is set up in the Design Rules tool.
If you have errors, such as two traces being routed too close together, the tool will tell you where they are. Reroute the traces as needed and re-run the DRC. Keep doing this until you have zero errors. Never send a board to be manufactured without doing DRC.
You should also use the 'Check Unconnected' tool in the DRC to make sure you haven't missed any connections.

This course is intended to introduce new users to Microsoft Excel as a tool for managing, summarizing, and visualizing data, as well as conducting basic statistical analysis. It will cover topics such as using sorting and organizing data using filters, naming cells and cell ranges as a shortcut for functions, 'if' functions, matching data using built in functions, pivot tables and charts, editing charts and tables, and using built in features such for basic statistical analysis.
Note: I will primarily be working from a PC and using the built in package the Data Analysis ToolPak. The computers in the lab are PCs as well. If you wish to follow along on a Mac computer you must have Excel version 2016. The functionality of previous versions of Excel (2010 for Mac and prior) is not the same and you will not be able to follow along without the latest version.

In "Disney Infinity: Action," players can bring the game to life by creating their own movies starring themselves alongside the animated characters using a movie maker feature. Available Aug. 15 from iTunes and the Windows Store and eventually the Google Play Store, more than 30 different animations and dozens of props, including Buzz Lightyear's jet pack, will be available. Mr. Incredible, Sulley and Jack Sparrow will also be available as characters to cast in the videos.
Disney will enable the videos to be posted on Facebook or YouTube or emailed as a way to promote the game and its players' creations.
The company saw the apps as a way to offer up more extensions of the game, especially to kids who are glued to their tablets on the go.
"Disney Infinity" launches Aug. 18, on the Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii U.
To play "Infinity," gamers need to purchase a $75 starter pack that comes with three figures and a "reader" pad. When the toys are placed on the reader, the game recognizes the figures and inserts them into one of two game modes on the TV screen — a story-based campaign and a toy-box mode in which anything goes and a mashup of all things Disney can take place. Additional discs, which are also placed on the reader, determine various powers of the characters and add upgrades or new locations, props and settings. The game's split-screen modes enable multiple people to play together at the same time.

They include Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey: "Tangled's" Rapunzel, the first Disney Princess to be introduced into the "Disney Infinity" line-up; and characters from "Wreck-It Ralph," "Frozen," "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Phineas and Ferb."
It will also offer up a "Toy Story" in Space Play Set, featuring Buzz, Jessie and Woody, as the sixth play set for "Disney Infinity," when it's released in October.
The first set of characters available upon launch include those from "Monsters University," "The Incredibles," "Cars," "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Lone Ranger."

The McWilliams Sex-Abuse Scandal: Critics Say Cleveland Diocese Must Do More to Address Problems
Despite recent revelations about warning signs the diocese and its seminary allegedly ignored regarding the priest's misconduct, the diocese told the Register its procedures are adequate.

Judy Roberts Nation November 29, 2021
CLEVELAND — Ever since one of its priests was convicted of federal pornography and sexual-abuse crimes, the Diocese of Cleveland has stood by its claims about the integrity of its seminary screening and formation program.
However, recent revelations have cast a shadow over those assertions, calling into question both the effectiveness of St. Mary Seminary's protocols and the way in which the diocese responds to accusers.
After the Nov. 9 sentencing of Father Robert McWilliams, who will now spend life in prison, one of his victims and the boy's parents spoke out, detailing how the priest used his relationship with their family to groom and abuse victims. They pointed to what they see as deficiencies in the monitoring of Father McWilliams during his time in the seminary and as an intern in their parish and question why more wasn't done to identify him as a potential abuser.
Also, on Oct. 22, three ex-seminarians made public their complaints about the diocese's response to their sexual-harassment allegations against Father James Cosgrove, who had been in Father McWilliams' class at St. Mary's Seminary. The diocese since has reopened an investigation into that case to clarify differences between the versions the men gave in a news article and to investigators.
However, the diocese continues to defend a decision not to disclose the accusations to the rector and others at the seminary, even though some of the activity in question took place on seminary property and Father Cosgrove had access to the campus.
In a written response to questions from the Register, a representative of the diocese said, "If Cosgrove's behavior had involved sexual abuse or any other behavior which reasonably could have been cause for concern about the well-being or safety of seminarians or seminary staff, the seminary would have certainly been notified. Unlike the McWilliams matter, which involved the criminal sexual abuse of children, the Cosgrove matter did not involve minors and did not involve any sexual activity or even the suggestion of sexual activity."
The statement continued, "Despite the characterization of Cosgrove's behavior as sexual harassment and/or coercive and despite the assumption that Cosgrove had a sexual motive, Cosgrove never engaged in or even suggested engaging in any sexual conduct and never forced anyone to do anything."
Nonetheless, Father Cosgrove resigned from ministry in October and is no longer listed in the diocese's online directory.
Amid this, some in the Catholic press have called for the Cleveland Diocese to acknowledge that something went wrong and conduct a more thorough review, one that results in substantive changes.
Staying Its Course
Still, the diocese has continued to stay its course in both the Father McWilliams and Father Cosgrove cases. In its response to the Register, the diocese reiterated that a review was done after Father McWilliams was arrested, saying that the seminary annually conducts an internal review of its screening protocols and formation process and every few years has evaluations done by third parties.
In 2020, after Father McWilliams' arrest on sex trafficking, sexual exploitation and pornography charges, a statement from the diocese said an independent psychiatrist reviewed and found the seminary's screening protocol to be appropriate and did not recommend changes. The same year, the statement continued, the seminary added a full-time psychologist to its staff to help in formation of seminarians and to aid the staff in its evaluation of them.
In its response, the diocesan representative said any suggestion the seminary failed to appropriately screen McWilliams or that it should have been able to identify him as an abuser is false: "Not even the best policies, protocols and efforts can guarantee that a person intent on committing evil will be identified and stopped before committing that evil. McWilliams was able to commit his vile acts because he was a master of deception, not because anyone failed to notice something they should have noticed."
Although shocked by Father McWilliams' involvement in pornography and the way in which he exploited boys he knew from parishes where he served, seminary and diocesan officials have insisted they saw nothing during his formation to indicate he was capable of such behavior.
Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League and author of The Truth About Clergy Sexual Abuse: Clarifying the Facts and the Causes, said that it does appear Father McWilliams did a masterful job of hiding his disordered condition, despite what seems to have been very thorough screening. A sociologist who has taught classes in criminal behavior, Donohue said such people are notorious liars and extraordinarily manipulative people who can hide their sicknesses. "They play on people and they can get by some of the finest screening tools."
Still, he said, the disclosure of the complaint against another priest from the same ordination class takes things to another dimension. "At that point they're going to have to have a probe."
Other Rectors' Perspectives
Father Mark Doherty, president-rector of St. Patrick's Seminary in Menlo Park, California, in the Archdiocese of San Francisco, acknowledged that Father McWilliams could have slipped through the cracks of a thorough screening and formation program. But he said if the behavior Father Cosgrove is alleged to have committed occurred at St. Patrick's, he would have wanted to know about it.
"Clearly what I would say is that, as the rector, I would expect to be informed of such behavior, and I would take immediate action to address it," Father Doherty said. For a diocese not to inform the rector in such a case, he said, would be completely unacceptable.
Similarly, Father John Kartje, rector-president of Mundelein Seminary in the Archdiocese of Chicago, said he would expect to be notified of any accusations tied to the seminary, even if the accuser initially reported them to someone outside the seminary.
He explained that in the Chicago Archdiocese, several avenues of reporting are open to those with concerns or complaints. Besides formation advisers within the seminary, these include diocesan vocation directors, a third party not affiliated with the archdiocese, and parishes where seminarians serve.
Father Kartje said he particularly considers parishes to be cooperators in the formation of a priest because they get to know a candidate during his service and can act as another set of eyes. This recognizes, he said, that the seminary is not an insular institution and that all in the Body of Christ have a role in the formation of priests and in recognizing possible problems.
Because in the Father McWilliams case, the parish where he served as an intern turned out to be one of the places where he found and groomed victims, the mother of one of those victims has asked why no one questioned the seemingly excessive amount of time he spent with families and young people in that parish, both during and after his internship.
But the diocese, in its response to the Register, said it is not unusual for seminarians and priests to form friendships with those they serve. "At no time prior to McWilliams being caught was it thought or reported that [his] time with people he had befriended was excessive or suspicious."
According to the diocesan statement, each seminarian is monitored during the parish internship by a team, including the pastor and laypeople, who provide regular feedback to the seminary about the candidate. Additionally, the statement said it encourages anyone suspicious of the behavior of a priest or seminarian to contact the diocese's victims assistant coordinator and civil authorities.
Privacy Considerations
The victim's mother who referenced Father McWilliams' time with families also thought the seminary could have better monitored his cellphone use and social-media presence and that someone should have known about his collection of pornography. Upon his arrest, he was found to have 1,700 images and videos of child pornography.
Although the seminary does monitor the internet activity of its seminarians, the diocese said this is restricted to the seminary's network, which has a strict firewall that blocks inappropriate sites and notifies seminary staff if a seminarian has attempted to access such sites.
"However, monitoring seminarian activity on networks other than the seminary's network is, practically speaking, much more challenging, particularly if the person to be monitored is actively attempting to be deceptive and secretive," the diocesan statement noted.
Indeed, the availability of technological means to monitor seminarians' activity online does not necessarily free seminaries to implement it.
Susan Mulheron, chancellor for canonical affairs at the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, told the Register that canon law has put into legislative form the natural-law right that all people have to protect their own privacy.
"This basic right does not go away during seminary," she said. "There is general agreement that some measure of privacy is voluntarily given up when a man enters seminary formation, because that formation process requires an assessment of the human person."
However, she continued, "At the level of conscience, which Gaudium et Spes calls the 'most secret core and sanctuary of a man,' that privacy must be respected even in a seminary setting."
Mulheron said even though monitoring of personal electronic devices and other surveillance measures might have made a difference in a case like that of Father McWilliams, she said this likely would have been a violation of Canon 220 in the Code of Canon Law and the man's fundamental right to privacy. "Seminarians are not prisoners," she added.
As for Father McWilliams' social-media presence, the diocesan statement to the Register noted it is unaware of any posts that would have raised suspicion he was engaged in or threatening to engage in anything inappropriate. Before McWilliams' arrest, the diocesan statement added, there were no reports to the diocese of any suspicious or improper conduct on his part.
The victim's mother also said Father McWilliams had told her he was able to help people with pornography issues. He even boasted that the seminary faculty would send other seminarians to him for such help. However, the diocese said, "This claim is absolutely false."
Seminary Culture Problems
Nick Grismer, one of the ex-seminarians who has accused Father Cosgrove of sexual harassment, has said his experience at the seminary reflected a culture that was too tolerant of dysfunction and that it needs to be reexamined, along with the screening process.
Janet Smith, who in 2019 retired from teaching at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit a year earlier than planned so that she could turn her attention to the Church's sexual-abuse crisis, said she believes that even more than screening and formation, the atmosphere of seminaries needs to change.
Smith said she has both observed and been told by seminarians from several seminaries that a sense of secrecy often hangs in the air.
"It's like everybody has secrets and they're all tiptoeing around, as if there are electric fences they might touch that might ruin their vocations," she said. "There is the sense that seminarians should keep their heads down, stay in their lane and not rock the boat. If they accuse someone, they're risking their vocations."
Smith said this often extends even to complaining about a policy or practice. "They are discouraged from standing up for themselves or the truth. They are to just go along. Since they want to be ordained, they don't challenge anything."
She and three other female professors — Susan Selner-Wright, Deborah Savage and Theresa Farnan — who have taught at seminaries around the country wrote a letter offering recommendations on seminary policies and formation practices that was submitted by the Catholic Women's Forum to Pope Francis, archbishops and bishops and other participants in a 2019 summit in Rome to address clerical sex abuse.
In the letter, the women suggest specific ways to protect seminarians from sexual abuse or harassment and look at the seminary culture at large.
"Our recommendations," the letter states, "are informed not only by our theological and philosophical training, but also by many years of exposure to seminary life and our own experience as members of the Body of Christ."
The writers ask that the sexual-abuse crisis not be dismissed as politically motivated or as a problem that can be dealt with by a few policy changes. Among their recommendations were an immediate internal review of all seminaries covering sexual misconduct, including pornography use, and immediate implementation of reporting mechanisms.
Bishops, the letter said, should explicitly instruct seminarians in formation to report any suspected or observed sexual impropriety by using the National Review Board's regional hotline and a mechanism established at their own seminary.
Although the reporting recommendations in the letter are reflected in benchmarks developed by the McGrath Institute for Church Life and adopted by many seminaries, including Cleveland's, they depend on seminarians' willingness to speak up if they see something amiss.
And, as Father Patrick Klekas, a recently ordained priest of the Diocese of Reno, Nevada, wrote in an article in Crisis Magazine, there is an unwritten rule in some seminaries that unless there is marked evidence of deviant homosexual behavior, it is better not to report it. "Most seminarians," he wrote, "think it's better to say nothing, for fear of being thrown out of seminary by the ideological police."

Is Lady Gaga's Greige Nail Polish Glam Or Grody?
Spotted in Paris yesterday: Lady Gaga navigating a throng of paparazzi with help from some serious gray-beige talons.
If you're a regular reader of this blog and/or someone who leaves the house even occasionally, you probably know that greige nail polish--which includes all those muddy, claylike shades on the spectrum between gray and beige--has been popular for a while now. In fact, Glamour officially named greige nails one of the best beauty trends of 2010. But leave it to Gaga to take this nail trend to new extremes with her long, pointy-oval nail shape. She did keep the color very soft, though, which leads me to believe that some of you might say this manicure is actually wearable, even to the office (maybe?). But I'm not sure--maybe you'll actually hate it.
So ... what do you guys think of Gaga's nail look here? Is it glam? Grody (do they make her look dead)? Old-ladyish? Super-chic? Weird? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
Thinking of finally trying out the greige look? Check out the post where I model one of our readers' favorite gray nail polish shades.

Newcastle United: Then & Now
September 30, 2016 October 14, 2016 Andy The Magpie	97 Comments
Seeing as Wednesday's win marked our 10th game in what will hopefully be our second and last stint in the Championship, today, I thought it would be good to make a comparison to the last time we plyed our trade in the second tier back in 2010.
Of course, the Magpies bounced straight back after being relegated to the Football League in 2009 under Chris Hughton, and with an arguably stronger squad and manager this time round, signs would point to us doing much the same.
But just how are we faring compared to last time out?
The data after 10 games as to where we were placed in the Championship back in 2009 is patchy, but my deductions are, that we were in 1st position and 4 points clear of nearest rivals West Brom. Just a single defeat to Blackpool marred what was otherwise a solid start to the season.
Now, we're third and have already suffered three defeats. Cause for concern? Or is the only stat worth discussing, the one that we see after 46 games?
Won: 8
Lost: 1
Signed from Palace for what many believe to be an over the odds price, Dwight Gayle has become our main source of goals so far this season. His hat trick against Norwich this week was hopefully the first of many, but the pedants amongst us will still argue that he needs to be less wasteful in front of goal. With 7 goals so far, should the Eagles man continue scoring at the same rate, he'd hit over 30 goals by the end of the season.
Back in 2009, Andy Carroll came to the fore for Newcastle, scoring 17 goals in his first full season for the club. Being much more youthful and inexperienced than what Gayle is now, it is perhaps not fair to compare him directly. An apt comparison, if he hadn't have gone on loan to Barnsley, would have been to put Adam Armstrong and Carroll side by side.
Geordie Two raised concerns about our front line in his post the other day (as did others in the comments) but when you consider the fact (at the time of writing) that are we now the division's top scorers with 21, to an outsider looking in, our concerns seem unfounded under the circumstances.
Both 2009/2010 & 2016/2017 campaigns will turn out to be difficult for very different reasons. In the former season, a strong West Brom side who were still in the process of shaking off that 'yo-yo club' tag, kept pace with us until the last few games. A nervy 1-1 draw on the opening game of the season (which I watched from the comfort of an expat bar in Majorca) against them was the perfect barometer to assess how strong our 'strongest' opposition would be. Further defeats to Nottingham Forest and Blackpool, two sides who both made the play-offs (the latter of which won the play-offs) would be small blots on what was otherwise a stellar season for the club.
This time around, defeats to the likes of Huddersfield, who have been a real surprise package under David Wagner this year, have more than kept our expectations in check. The plight of Aston Villa has certainly helped, as they, along with Norwich were fully expected to challenge for the automatic promotion spots this year. But seeing as Roberto Di Matteo's men are now some way off the pace, it would appear our nearest rivals for the course of the season will in fact be Norwich.
Huddersfield, as good as they've been, shouldn't be expected to maintain the sort of form they've had for the course of the season and as a result, can be tentatively discounted.
We've lost games but we've almost never failed to create chances. The stats don't lie – we're faring worse this time around but with a lot of personnel changes this summer, the bedding-in time for the squad is always going to be longer.
On paper, I believe this year's Newcastle side (on-song) would win-out against the class of 2009. For some reason, things just clicked quicker than they did under Hughton, but that's no slight on the good job Rafa has done so far. As I said, the disruption caused this summer can certainly be attributed to our 'stuttering start'.
With the amount of money in football growing year-on-year exponentially, it wouldn't be out the realms of possibility to consider that second flight teams of this season are inherently a lot stronger than those of 2009/2010 as well. Bulging parachute payments and increasing foreign ownership has only lended itself to a higher standard of football in the English Championship as the years have wore on.
All that said, this season's squad, under the stewardship of Rafa should still have no problem. I believe we will go up, but the jury really is out as to whether we can do it in the same comfort we did back in 2009.

There's still a long way to go yet, lots of games to still be played and smaller sides will suffer injuries and suspensions which will ultimately have a huge impact on the table come may.

Kimtoon,
hi mate,
i think our manager has lost the plot and the dressing room.
as for big sam,ive never been a fan of his to be honest.but i think hes finished in this league.
how anybody on £3 mill a year plus bonuses,would give it all away for £400 grand is just plain greedy.
hints of Harry to me.
but for us,id go for tony pullis,can get promoted and has never been relegated.
it may not always be pretty.but for us with what we have seen these last few years.
it would belike winning the league. 🙂 🙂
Villa , Agree about Sam, I'm still dumbfounded that he could be so stupid. Dream job, £3m a year for not doing very much and throws it all away!. Greedy git for sure. Pulis would be a good shout for you actually, would defo steady the ship like.

Yeah–playing at ours will be probably the biggest game many of the players will ever get, so they're likely to give that extra little bit.
Also, managers will set up to frustrate.
I haven't seen Rotherham play before. Do they always do that pressing game? They seemed quite good at it and were a little unlucky not to get a draw out of us.

From Wiki on David Wagner, he's already said how Klopp is a great influence on his managerial career .
Wagner was appointed as Borussia Dortmund II manager with effect from July 1, 2011.[2] He left the role on November 1, 2015, amidst rumours that he was going to join Jürgen Klopp's backroom staff at Liverpool.[3][4] However, on November 5, 2015, he was appointed head coach of Huddersfield Town following the departure of Chris Powell.[5] Wagner brought Christoph Bühler, who also left Borussia Dortmund on November 1, 2015, with him as his assistant.[3][6]
In the summer of 2016, Wagner brought in 13 players from across the continent – with Danny Ward, Chris Löwe and Aaron Mooy amongst these. Wagner took his players on a bonding tour of Sweden, where they had to survive with only basic equipment for a few days.[7] The team's success in the early 2016/17 season was largely accredited to the squad's tight bond, something that Wagner claimed was a direct result of this Sweden trip. A few weeks later, they visited Austria and kept two clean sheets for matches against Bundesliga sides Werder Bremen and FC Ingolstadt 04.[8]
After an unbeaten start to the 2016/17 season, Huddersfield Town were top of the table at the start of September,[9] including a win at St James' Park against Newcastle United,[10] and Wagner was awarded the Sky Bet Championship manager of the month.
I think Huddersfield will up in the top 4 all season
Fans,Huddersfield at home only beat Rotherham by one goal also, it was 2.1
Munich Mag says:
No doubt about it, Rotherham were a real handful today, and an excellent defensive display won us through. Could easily have ended in a draw or a toon defeat.
As an attacking force we were poor today.
Munich Mag(Quote)
Wolves could easily have beat Norwich today and it's no fluke that they beat our complacent side at home. There are no easy games but 5-6 teams are starting to win regularly. It's going to be a tough season and even with 4-5 wins, we won't just pull away from the pack. 🙁

Advocates for HIV/AIDS patients say health insurers are putting patients at risk of discontinuing vital treatments by no longer crediting drug companies' discounts toward deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums, prolonging the time each year that insurers fully fund the drugs.
Buying drugs to treat chronic health problems such as HIV/AIDS, arthritis, hemophilia, Hepatitis C, and multiple sclerosis is becoming more expensive, thanks to a tug of war between the health insurance and prescription drug industries.
Patients are caught in the middle, advocates for the HIV/AIDS population say. They worry many could be hit by surprise drug bills and find themselves unable to come up with thousands of dollars for preventative drugs that must be taken continually to remain effective.
For more than a decade, pharmaceutical companies have provided prescription drug copay cards or discount coupons to help patients cover drug costs until they reach their plans' annual deductibles or out-of-pocket maximums and their insurers pay the whole cost.
But insurers in individual and group markets increasingly are changing their policy terms, prolonging the amount of time it takes for that to happen.
In addition to companies selling Affordable Health Care plans to individuals and families, large-group plans offered by Walmart and Home Depot recently implemented the changes through their pharmacy benefit managers Express Scripts and CVS Caremark, Reuters reported in November.
Insurers accuse drug companies of using the coupon change as a way to hasten patients' fulfillment of their financial obligations so insurers can more quickly take responsibility for full payment of the drugs at retail prices. They say the discounts remove financial incentives for patients to seek less-expensive care while rewarding drug companies that keep prices high.
Drug companies accuse insurers of padding their bottom lines by negotiating sizable rebates with drug makers but requiring consumers to pay their copays based on full retail prices. Advocates for HIV/AIDS patients say insurers also benefit because the policy changes enable them to "double dip" — letting them avoid fully paying for members' drugs twice as long as before.
Health insurers offering 2019 plans on the federal marketplace in Florida all have banned copays from counting toward deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums or reserved the right to ban them in the future.
The terms and conditions of individual health care plans offered by Molina, Ambetter, Oscar, and Florida Health Care all state that members will not receive credit from manufacturers' or third-party assistance toward annual deductibles or out-of-pocket maximums. Language in policies sold by the state's largest insurer, Florida Blue, states that the insurer reserves the right not to apply manufacturer or provider cost share assistance to deductibles or out-of-pocket maximums.
This week, the AIDS Institute, a Tampa-based lobbying organization that receives funding from pharmaceutical companies, distributed a news release pointing out the language and criticizing the companies for not directly notifying customers about the changes.
The new language isn't limited to individual health plans sold under the Affordable Care Act, said Carl Schmid, deputy executive director of the AIDS Institute. Small group and large group employer-based plans are starting to include the language as well, often at the urging of their prescription benefit managers.
Apparently, Floridians have gotten really good at enrolling in Obamacare.
Compared with the nation overall, enrollments in 2019 Affordable Care Act plans are holding steady in the Sunshine State.
Doug Bartel, spokesman for Florida Blue, with more than five million members, said his company updated its policy language last year reserving the right to implement the ban "to align to the industry trend." Florida Blue does not currently exclude coupons from either the out-of-pocket maximum or deductible, "and there are presently no plans to do so," he said.
The two other companies selling individual health insurance plans on the federal marketplace in South Florida, Molina Healthcare and Ambetter, did not answer questions about why their companies adopted the bans.
Patients unaware that their insurers adopted the new policy might begin using their discount cards and paying their out-of-pocket shares as usual early in their 2019 policy terms without realizing the discounts aren't being applied to their out-of-pocket maximums as before, said Cliff Eserman, a Wilton Manors-based health insurance broker. One day they could walk into their pharmacy thinking they've met their obligations and are entitled to get their drugs at no out-of-pocket cost for the rest of the year. Instead, Eserman said, they'll be handed an invoice charging full retail price for a month-long supply — which can run as high as $3,600 for the drug Genvoya.
At that point, an unknown number of patients with no way to pay upfront for their medicines — even if they qualify to be reimbursed later through a patient assistance program — will discontinue treatment, Eserman said.
And that's dangerous for the patient and anyone who engages in risky behavior with the patient. Success of today's generation of antiviral drugs in preventing serious health problems, up to and including death, depends on the patient taking the drugs every day, with no exceptions.
Schmid said his organization is working with other HIV/AIDS organizations to raise awareness of the issues, including asking state attorney generals and insurance commissioners to investigate whether the bans violate cost-sharing limits imposed by the Affordable Care Act.
Eserman and Dawson say risks to HIV/AIDS prevention funding are not as dire as some advocates might suggest. The federally funded Ryan White HIV/AIDS program, the "payer of last resort" for low-income HIV/AIDS patients since 1990, might have to have to become larger to accommodate no longer able to fund treatment through their plans.
Plus, drug companies are finding additional ways to provide assistance, either through direct cash payments, as reported in a story by Kaiser Health News published on Time.com, or by increasing contributions through nonprofit assistance programs, said Eserman.

Good News: First Licence Granted to Treat Pain with Medicinal Cannabis
Awareness Medication
March 2, 2018 December 3, 2021 chronicwoman
License to treat pain with medicinal cannabis given the go-ahead.
A license to treat chronic pain with medicinal cannabis has been granted here for the first time, it has emerged. A 3-month agreement was given the green light by the Department of Health to use Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) people in constant agony.
THC is the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis. It is currently illegal to use medicinal cannabis here – but medical consultants can apply for the license on a case by case basis. A three-month license can be granted on foot of an application made directly to the Minister for Health under section 14 of the Misuse of Drugs Act.
Under guidelines from Chronic Pain Ireland, the THC would NOT be consumed via smoking. A patient would ideally take it by vaping or in their tea. Under the strict terms, a medical professional would administer a starting dose, monitor the patient, and adjust the dose accordingly, they say. Patients will be placed under constant medical supervision.
Last February, Health Minister Simon Harris announced that he would implement a Health Products Regulatory Authority recommendation that cannabis–based products be made available to some patients with multiple sclerosis and epilepsy, and those suffering nausea in chemotherapy.
However, chronic pain was not included in Mr. Harris' plan. It was on this basis that Chronic Pain Ireland applied to the minister for a license, for one of their members, along with their medical consultant.
There were no formal application guidelines from the Department of Health, so Mr. McLoughlin created one from scratch. This is now available on Chronic Pain Ireland's website.

The application included how THC would be administered, details of the patient's medical consultant, and what dosage they would potentially start on.
The patient can take the medicinal cannabis either through tea or by vaping.
"Some people are desperate due to chronic pain," said Mr. McLoughlin. "I personally know of people who use cannabis for chronic pain. Some say it works, some say it doesn't. But you must always go to your doctor."
Professor of pharmacology and therapeutics David Finn, who is also the co-director of the Centre for Pain Research at NUI Galway, said the granting of the license was an "important development".
"This is a very interesting and important development which demonstrates a recognition by Irish medical professionals and the minister for health of the potential therapeutic value of medicinal cannabis for the treatment of chronic pain," said Prof Finn.
"Chronic pain is the most researched indication for cannabinoids, and the majority of clinical studies, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews conclude that cannabis or cannabinoids can be effective in alleviating certain types of chronic pain.
"Approximately 20% of the Irish population suffers from chronic pain, and up to 40% of patients report that the management of their pain is inadequate, either due to the limited efficacy of existing treatments or unacceptably high levels of side-effects."
Solidarity-People Before Profit Alliance TD Gino Kelly has been a longtime campaigner for legalizing cannabis for medicinal purposes and brought forward an opposition bill towards this end.

The Cannabis for Medicinal Use Regulation Bill 2016, is now entering its third stage of debate and will go before the Oireachtas health committee early next year. "The tide has now turned. It is a significant day for people with chronic pain in Ireland," said Mr. Kelly.
