Le Parti populaire italien (, abrégé en PPI) est un parti politique italien du centre, chrétien social et démocrate chrétien.

Fondé en 1994, à la suite du mouvement de rénovation interne de la Démocratie chrétienne (DC), il a participé aux coalitions du Pacte pour l'Italie, puis de L'Olivier. En 2001, il crée l'alliance électorale « La Marguerite », qui se transforme en parti à part entière dès l'année suivante.

Historique

Fondation : la fin de la DC
Le , alors que la Démocratie chrétienne (DC), parti dominant de l'Italie d'après-guerre, est en pleine crise à cause de l'opération Mains propres, Mino Martinazzoli remplace Arnaldo Forlani au poste de secrétaire du parti. Lors de l'assemblée programmatique de , il appelle la DC à se renouveler profondément, sans renier ses idéaux, son histoire, et à devenir un « parti de projet ».

Sa proposition est approuvée à l'unanimité, et en , la formation prend le nom de Parti populaire italien, du nom d'une formation démocrate-chrétienne fondée en 1919 et dont Alcide De Gasperi était membre.

Le Pacte pour l'Italie : alliance au centre
Prenant acte de la nouvelle loi électorale, qui instituait un système mixte fortement majoritaire, plusieurs cadres comme Clemente Mastella ou Pier Ferdinando Casini, quittent le PPI pour fonder le Centre chrétien-démocrate (CCD), allié de l'homme d'affaires Silvio Berlusconi. Martinazzoli, fidèle à la tradition centriste de la DC, fonde pour sa part l'alliance du Pacte pour l'Italie avec le Pacte de renaissance nationale de Mario Segni, qui se veut une alternative au Pôle des libertés - Pôle du bon gouvernement (PDL-PBG) de Berlusconi et à l'Alliance des progressistes (ADP) d'Achille Occhetto.

Aux élections générales anticipées des 27 et 28 mars 1994, le PPI remporte  sur 475 au scrutin majoritaire à la Chambre des députés et 4 sur 155 à la proportionnelle. Au Sénat de la République, le Pacte pour l'Italie obtient 31 élus sur 315.

L'échec conduit à la démission du secrétaire et, après un intérim assuré par Rosa Iervolino, Rocco Buttiglione, provenant de l'aile droite de la formation, prend la direction du PPI au mois de juillet suivant, lors du premier congrès national. Un mois avant, les élections européennes avaient confirmé la faible audience du parti, avec seulement  sur 87.

Un parti qui se cherche politiquement
Le , Buttiglione participe au congrès de l'Alliance nationale (AN) et se montre favorable à une alliance avec la droite. À peine trois jours plus tard, Giovanni Bianchi, président du parti, Nicola Mancino et Beniamino Andreatta, tous de l'aile gauche, font connaître leur préférence pour une coalition de centre gauche emmenée par Romano Prodi. Malgré cette prise de position, le 8 mars, le secrétaire signe un accord électoral avec le Pôle des libertés, qui rassemble Forza Italia, le CCD et d'autres formations de droite.

Réuni le 11 mars suivant, le conseil national prononce la défiance contre Rocco Buttiglione, le déclare déchu de son poste et le remplace par Gerardo Bianco. Le secrétaire sortant refuse de se laisser faire et la justice confirme qu'il ne peut être renversé, ajoutant toutefois qu'il doit désormais suivre la ligne établie par les cadres dirigeants du parti.

Les régionales du mois d'avril suivant montrent un parti totalement divisé, les soutiens de Buttiglione participant aux listes conduites par Forza Italia, tandis que ses opposants se présentaient avec le centre gauche ou seul. Finalement, en juin, le secrétaire quitte la formation et fonde les Chrétiens démocrates unis (CDU). Le deuxième congrès national, qui se tient au même moment, le remplace effectivement par Bianco.

L'Olivier : alliance à gauche

Le PPI choisit alors de s'associer au centre gauche et fonde avec le Parti démocrate de la gauche (PDS) la coalition de L'Olivier, conduite par l'ancien ministre Romano Prodi. Dans le même temps, le parti choisit de s'associer avec le Parti populaire sud-tyrolien (SVP), le Parti républicain italien (PRI) ou encore les « comités Prodi », les candidats de cette union se présentant sous le nom de « Populaires pour Prodi ».

Lors des élections générales anticipées du 21 avril 1996, le PPI et ses alliés gagnent  sur 475 au scrutin majoritaire, 4 sur 155 au scrutin proportionnel, et  au Sénat. Nicola Mancino est ensuite élu président de la chambre haute. Dans le gouvernement de Prodi, la formation obtient trois portefeuilles, dont celui de la Défense pour Andreatta.

Au mois de , Franco Marini, ancien responsable syndical et ministre du Travail au début des années 1990, prend le poste de secrétaire à l'occasion du troisième congrès national. Gerardo Bianco est de son côté choisi comme président du PPI.

Bien que Prodi chute en 1998, l'alliance se maintient au pouvoir avec le social-démocrate Massimo D'Alema. La place du parti augmente alors significativement avec  six postes, dont quatre portefeuilles ministériels. Sergio Mattarella est nommé vice-président du Conseil, tandis qu'Enrico Letta, vice-secrétaire, devient ministre pour les Affaires européennes à seulement , ce qui en fait le plus jeune ministre de l'histoire du pays. Andreatta perd la Défense, mais Rosa Iervolino est nommée au ministère de l'Intérieur, ce qui constitue une première.

L'année 1999 est marquée par les européennes de juin, où le parti se contente de 4 parlementaires sur 87, dont Marini et Ciriaco De Mita. Au mois d'octobre suivant, Pierluigi Castagnetti est désigné secrétaire national, la fonction de président étant elle supprimée, à l'occasion du quatrième congrès national.

Dans le gouvernement D'Alema II, constitué fin 1999, le PPI passe à cinq postes, Mattarella obtenant la Défense et Letta l'Industrie, alors qu'Iervolino quitte l'exécutif. À la suite du départ du président du Conseil, l'indépendant de centre gauche Giuliano Amato prend, en , les rênes de l'exécutif. Le Parti populaire retombe à quatre ministres, dont trois avec portefeuilles.

La Marguerite : vers un nouveau parti
En vue des élections générales du 13 mai 2001, le PPI décide de constituer une alliance électorale, au sein de L'Olivier, réunissant les partis centristes et chrétiens-sociaux. Le , « La Marguerite », qui rassemble également le Renouveau italien (RI) de Lamberto Dini, l'Union des démocrates pour l'Europe (UDEUR) de Clemente Mastella et Les Démocrates (Dem) d'Arturo Parisi, est fondée.

Bien que la coalition de centre gauche, désormais menée par Francesco Rutelli, du PPI, perde le scrutin face à la Maison des libertés (CDL) de Silvio Berlusconi, le Parti populaire obtient , sur 80 pour La Marguerite, et , sur 43 pour La Marguerite. L'alliance se transforme en parti politique à part entière le .

We have all been there. In the driver's seat, when someone else feels it's necessary to "help" you drive.
Here is the perfect fix.
Yep. Earplugs. Works like a charm.
On this particular day, we took a family drive out to the country. Yes, we already live in the country, but we went waaaayyyy out. We all know that farm kids learn to drive a little earlier in life than what the law suggests-hey, it's a necessity.
Memaw and Pop, this picture is for you.
This driver is not allowed to use the earplugs. He has to follow the backseat driver's instructions. Bummer.
Wranglers tells him to keep the speed at 40 mph. He listened.
p.s. For you adult drivers-if the earplugs don't do the trick, the duct tape in the glovebox will.
I feel your pain. Oh,do I.
so like, can I get a pair of those for daily life too?
LOL can I borrow your duct tape :)I remember learning to drive early on. Wish we had wide open spaces because I am ready to throw M2 behind the wheel.
Earplugs and duct tape – now that'd be a memorable drive!


Project Syndicate - Many people around the world are indulging in what the Germans call "schadenfreude": pleasure at the suffering of others. The pleasure appears to be derived from the suffering the United States is enduring after four years of efforts to stabilize Iraq.

Twigs Bent, Trees Go Straight

In a discussion of criminal-justice issues, former U. S. Attorney General Janet Reno once stated that the life trajectory for most criminals was essentially set by the age of three. Among criminal-justice professionals, an analogous theory is common: a young person with a low IQ who shows a high level of egocentricity and aggressiveness and exhibits poor self-control is likely to become a lifelong, career criminal.
But in a recent book, Shared Beginnings, Divergent Lives: Delinquent Boys to Age 70 (Harvard University Press), Ford professor of the social sciences Robert Sampson and John Laub of the University of Maryland suggest instead that various environmental factors predict long-term behavior better than childhood risk factors. "Why do some juvenile offenders persist in committing criminal acts as they grow older and others desist?" asks Sampson. "Developmental child psychology doesn't really provide an adequate explanation."
Sampson and Laub revisited the classic 1949 study Unraveling Juvenile Delinquency, by Sheldon Glueck, Ph.D. '24, S.D. '58, the late Pound professor of law emeritus, and Eleanor Touroff Glueck, Ed.D. '25, S.D. '58. The Gluecks tracked 1,000 men born in Boston in the late 1920s or early 1930s: 500 were juvenile delinquents who had been committed to a correctional facility as teenagers or young men; a control group of 500 non-delinquent males attended public schools. The original research tracked subjects up to age 25, then followed up at age 32. Sampson and Laub extended this longitudinal study of the 500 original delinquents. "We followed them in three ways," Sampson explains: "by doing criminal history checks, examining death records and causes of death, and by conducting interviews." They managed to locate and interview 52 of the men, 35 years after they had last been seen, in the 1960s.
The study showed a dramatic drop in criminal activity among the original subject pool as the men aged. Between the ages of 17 and 24, a robust 84 percent of the subjects contacted had committed violent crimes. But when the men reached their forties, that number dropped sharply, to 14 percent; it fell to just 3 percent two decades later. Property crimes and alcohol- and drug-related crimes showed similar significant decreases. The average subject committed his first offense at age 12 — but also desisted from crime from age 37 onward. "Any social or environmental factors that helped established positive routines played major roles in influencing future behaviors," says Sampson.
Marriage was particularly powerful in this regard. "Many of the men who were high-rate offenders in their youth were also subject to binge drinking, and tended to commit many of their crimes with peers," says Sampson. "Marriage tended to break that cycle; often the wife would intervene in the drinking pattern and help the man shift peer affiliations. The wife of one man we interviewed said, 'It's not how many beers you have, it's who you're drinking them with.'"
Meaningful employment also led many subjects away from criminal lifestyles. "My employer was good to me," said one man. "He trusted me with the money, put his confidence in me, and I learned to respect such confidence and was loyal to him." Military service — which provided structure and discipline, a sense of belonging, and the incentive of the GI Bill — was another life-changing force. One of the men, who learned in the Army how to control his temper and cooperate with peers, commented, "They teach you that you can be your own boss as long as you do what the other people want you to do."
The aging process also influenced behavior. "Lawbreaking is often risky business, and people often become risk-aversive as they get older," Sampson notes. "They also become less physically capable of doing the things a criminal lifestyle might involve. And they become more afraid of incarceration." Of course, desisting from crime is not always a voluntary decision, and the researchers point out that "high-rate offenders are disproportionately likely to exit the risk pool involuntarily through death, injury, and incarceration."
Nonetheless, according to Sampson, the results have profound implications for criminal-justice policy. "What do we do with people who are coming out of prison?" he asks. "If supervision and support affect behavior, we need to rethink our incarceration policy, because we've effectively done away with the kinds of parole, substance-abuse counseling, and training programs that are just as important as supportive family structures when a person is trying to make a successful transition from prison to the outside world. "
When we view incarceration simply as punishment, and not as an issue of public health and safety, we fail to act in society's best long-term interests, Sampson says. "We need to realize that we can't know everything about a person by looking at their behavior when they were 16," he points out. "The simple fact is that most people now in prison will one day be back on the streets, and we need to start looking very seriously at how to create support structures that encourage released individuals to lead stable, orderly lives, rather than return to lives of crime."

Helping Rhinos and Fight for Rhinos have teamed up with SANParks (South African National Parks) in Kruger National Park.
Kruger National Park is home to around 65% of the world's rhinos. Devastatingly it is also home to around 60% of the rhino poaching victims in South Africa.
To save the rhino, it is imperative to focus on Kruger, which unfortunately has become the epicenter to the war on poaching. By teaming up with SANParks, we will support their anti-poaching efforts.
n 2013 SANParks launched their Ring-Fenced Rhino Account, meaning that all donations made in aid of rhinos will go directly to cause.
All the fundraising we carry out in the name of SANParks will go directly to their Ring-fenced rhino account, so you can be sure that you are contributing directly to the protection of the largest population of rhinos left in the world today.
Meeting with Richard Benyon (centre), the Minister for DEFRA (dept for environment, food and rural affairs UK), Gen Jooste, Simon Jones (Helping Rhinos).
The Kruger Park anti-poaching activity is headed up by Major General (ret) Johan Jooste, and slowly but surely the General's activities are bearing fruit. When asked if we are winning the war with the poachers the General is honest enough to respond with "not yet", but he is confident that the war will be won. And having spent time with the General at a series of meetings in London (read more about those meetings here) and in the Kruger Park we are confident he will implement the strategies needed to start reducing the number of rhinos poached in the world famous and iconic park.
Fight for Rhinos and Helping Rhinos is supportive of Game Reserves United (GRU). GRU is an alliance of private game reserves on the western border of the Kruger National Park (KNP).
The main purpose of GRU is to establish a reliable and unified intelligence. It is supported by experienced counter-insurgency and counter-intelligence individuals, and closely aligned with law enforcement agencies. This approach is unique and could be the leading example for collaborating landowners when it comes to poaching.
Since 2008, the private reserves to the west of Kruger have greatly increased their investment into security to help combat the escalating threat of rhino poaching. This increased investment is not only improving security for rhinos on the Park's western boundary, but the benefit is spilling over in the Park itself.
The number of rhinos poached in the project area has declined by 50% per annum over a three- year period.
Intelligence operations are focused, collaborative and coordinated and the information generated is well-managed across the project area.
GRU works in collaboration with the KNP and other law enforcement agencies.
In partnership with SANParks, promote the creation of additional field ranger positions to be deployed in the participating reserves for improved area coverage.
There is improved communication resulting in improved area integrity management.
We need your support to continue this project. To support us in the preservation of the rhino, please see the DONATE buttons on the left or bottom of the page.

A dry and cold winter with many days of Mistral wind, which left the vines healthy and disease-free. Followed a very wet Spring which pushed back the flowering by 2 weeks. The summer months were hot allowing for an excellent concentration of the grapes. The harvest began on the 15th September, under warm, sunny conditions.
Ancient alluvial terraces from the Quaternary period of the river Ouvèze to the west of the Appellation for the Grenache. Marly limestone soils from the Cretaceous period, in the heart of the mountains known as Dentelles de Montmirail, at 400 m of altitude for the Syrah.
Manual harvest. Grapes are immediately de-stemmed and crushed. The fermentation temperature was stabilized at 30 °C. Maceration lasted 28 days with regular punch-downs/rack-and-return operations for the Grenache and pumping over for the Syrah. 15 months of elevage for the Syrah wine in 275-litre oak Laurus barrels (new, 1 and 2 year-old barrels).

Club pro finally living dream
Sports // Golf
Associated Press July 10, 2012 Updated: July 10, 2012 9:28 p.m.
Tim Thelen, a 51-year-old College Station resident. is getting the chance to realize his dream of playing professional golf.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — What makes golf so appealing is that it can be played for a lifetime.
And the dreams that go with it don't expire easily, either.
Such is the case of Tim Thelen. His name might not be familiar outside the PGA of America or southeast Texas. Thelen spent his career as a golf professional, working at a country club in College Station and a resort in New Ulm, and once giving lessons at a driving range that since has been replaced by a Wal-Mart.
He was good enough to play college golf at Houston Baptist — a Scottish kid named Colin Montgomerie was on his team — but he never made it through Q-school, and that was before there was an alternative like the Web.com Tour. Back then, there wasn't even a web. The one year he reached the final stage of Q-school, he was 38. And while there was a developmental tour and Thelen had conditional status, he also had a steady income and an 11-year-old son.
Thelen won the Club Pro Championship twice and played in the PGA Championship nine times without ever making the cut. He played in 22 regular PGA Tour events, through his status as a club pro or Monday qualifying, and made four cuts and the grand sum of $78,742 over 15 years.
But as he approached his 50th birthday, a conversation with the late club pro Bob Boyd changed everything.
"He played on the European Senior Tour. This was late 2009, and he had been playing for five years, and he loved it over there," Thelen said Tuesday morning from his home in College Station. "It's different over there. But it's like I told my wife, there's an opportunity to make money, and we'll see the world."
It has turned into so much more than he expected.
Two weeks ago in Munich, with wife Lucinda on the bag, Thelen holed out with a 6-iron for an albatross on the par-5 opening hole in the Berenberg Bank Masters. On the back nine, with Bernhard Langer and Barry Lane among those chasing him down, Thelen closed with three birdies on the last four holes to win.
Bags packed, hotel booked, they headed off to Switzerland for the Bad Ragaz PGA Seniors Open. This time, it was a pair of Ryder Cup captains — former world No. 1 Ian Woosnam and Mark James — applying the pressure. Thelen made two late birdies to thwart the charge and won again.
And so ended his six-week journey that began in Michigan for the Senior PGA Championship and took him to Spain, England, Holland, Germany, Switzerland and finally back home to Texas for two weeks.
That allowed the 51-year-old Thelen time to reflect before heading back over to Turnberry for the Senior British Open.
"I had a really good career as a club pro," said Thelen, who resigned from The Falls when he earned his European Senior card. "Winning the Club Pro Championship twice, winning the National Assistant Pro Championship once ... I knew I could play. I didn't know I could reach the level I have today. You always dream of playing on a tour, and I never lost focus. But as a golf pro, you have to find time to play and practice.
"Every golf professional has that opportunity," he said. "It's whether he takes that opportunity when the shop closes at 7 p.m. and there's still two hours to practice or play nine holes. Unfortunately, it's hard on the wife and kid. But you've got to keep your dreams alive."
He remembers the conversation with his wife after earning his card.
"Two things can happen," he said. "We can make some money. Or we can go broke. And we've been there before."
Lucinda caddies for him in the summer until she has to go back to her day job teaching children with autism and working two nights a week at Texas A&M, where she is an instructor on how to teach children with disabilities.
The only time Thelen ever traveled in his previous job was to Ireland and Wales for the PGA Cup, a Ryder Cup for club pros. That was as part of a team. Now, he and his wife have learned to book hotel rooms on the Internet, figuring out which rooms are close to the golf course and whether they need a rental car.
On the golf course, it's the same game he started playing at age 6 growing up in Minnesota. Winning feels the same in Switzerland as it did at the Club Pro Championship. The difference was looking up at the leaderboard and seeing his name alongside guys such as Langer and Woosnam.
"I look up at the board at the Club Pro Championship, I know most of those guys. I have dinner with them. I knew after so many years that I could win out there," he said. "But in my second year on the European Senior Tour, getting to play golf with guys I grew up watching ... I didn't know if I could win."
With back-to-back wins, Thelen now has made $144,711 this year and is second on the Order of Merit behind Senior PGA champion Roger Chapman. He wants to try Q-school on the Champions Tour in America this year. The prize money is higher. The travel is easier.
Whatever happens, he knows he has a tour to call home, even if it's thousands of miles away.

My Tree of Life for Johnson's Baby Wipes Messy Play Activity
I was sent a messy play paint kit by Johnson's Baby so that we could put their new baby wet wipes through their paces. Their new wipes dispense one wipe at a time.
Despite being good at art myself at school I rarely get arty or crafty with my kids, so the only thing I could think to do was hand painting, so that Lottie could join in, given that she's too young to hold a paint brush. I got hung up on the fact we were sent a canvas and thought "that means it needs to be good", as in, they can't just swish the paint around as "I wouldn't frame that!" Silly thoughts I know, as with hindsight of course I would have wanted to frame whatever the two of them created what with it being Lottie's first ever painting session. But, I thought "it's canvas, it needs to be grand" so I decided that their hand-prints would form part of a family tree. Initially that meant I would paint a tree and there would be four handprints on it: Mummy Daddy Aaron and Lottie but when I Googled images for reference I stumbled on a tree of life that had a woman as the body of the tree and then I couldn't get the idea out of my head. This meant I was the tree, holding two baby hands and after creating it I was left wondering where Daddy comes in.
It gets worse. By the time I got round to painting the tree, we'd run out of our Johnson's Baby Wipes. I know! You couldn't make it up. They were used for anything and everything - God wipes come in handy when you have two kids and it's the Summer holidays.
So, we went ahead with the painting but my Cooperative wipes didn't really cut it getting the paint off Aaron's hands and I washed Lottie's with water anyway. I made the mistake of using the poster paint neat without diluting it with water so Aaron's handprint came out as below so I decided to draw around his hand, get an outline and then fill it in myself by painting.
Aaron said "Mummy the wipes are wiping the paint in not off" so I knew the Cooperative wipes weren't cutting the mustard and couldn't wait to replace my Johnson's Baby ones knowing they would work having read Forget Me Knit's review.
Lottie adored getting covered in paint and doing her hand print. She was beyond thrilled:
I knew she would not stay still enough for me to draw around her hand so I used my normal Ikea paint which is more fluid which meant I got a good strong print first off. I was amazed at one, getting her whole hand covered as babies of her age often keep their hands in a fist and two, I did the print without her moving her hand and splodging all over the canvas. You can see above, that her hand has the proper texture of a print. I just smoothed out the edges a tiny bit with a brush. Anyway, the paint did go on her clothes but as it was water based I wasn't bothered. Aaron had the apron on even though it was too small for him, as I knew he'd be tickled by it and therefore more engaged. I did try it on Lottie later and actually although it was too big for her, it just meant there was a lot of fabric on the arms, but due to the elasticated cuffs it didn't at all pose a problem, so I think it'll be hers from now on.
Once the two of them had fun doing their hand prints, I then made it a job for me, to make this piece of art as good as possible, but all I kept thinking was how rusty I am. Like my last post where I said I am rusty at vlogging it seems I am also rusty at painting. The brushes were synthetic though (children's ones) and it was quite hard painting with them which I only realised after was the reason.
I did my best and although I don't LOVE it, this is what I came up with
There are many layers to this. It shows the sun, solar masculine energy and the moon, feminine lunar energy. It shows that me and Daddy share the roots that have created our children, both biologically and their foundation/home. It shows that Aaron's hand is so very large compared to Lottie's. It shows that mainly as the primary carer I do the juggling act alone, so although they are growing out of me to represent my growing them in my womb it represents so much more. The daily balancing act when Daddy is at work. Oh and the reason he is stood like that is because I drew his silhouette by copying a photo of him I had. Daddy said it looks like he is looming over us LOL, but it probably does represent that he is looking on at a distance from work, whilst we are dancing around. But we created them together. Have our "roots" together and have lots of quality family time when he's not at work.
The poster paint included gold and silver so the roots are silver and Aaron is gold, as I am trying to show show signs of alchemy to represent the miracle that is creation. I have also put silver on the moon and the sun to highlight that we are so very linked to them. I do think it needs tweaking and improving before I'd consider framing it, but it's been an interesting cathartic project nonetheless.
But over to the wipes themselves. We did finally replace both packs: the all over baby wipes and the extra sensitive baby wipes, because Johnson's were kind enough to send us some more phew. I actually covered Aaron's hands in gold paint again to try them and they work! So it proves you get what you pay for:
So the new dispensing system...? Well, it means you get one wipe out at a time which is convenient when you are trying to use them sparingly, which I know only too well having got through so many this Summer holidays. The rigid lid means (1) it's easy to open one-handed (2) they stay sealed so you don't end up with a top dry wipe which is so incredibly annoying and (3) as it is thin, they're not bulky in your bag. Normally rigid lids are a big chunk of plastic (like on my nappy bags) which makes them harder to fit in a bag. Incidentally the one on my nappy bags has fallen off anyway (they're cooperative too) and plus in our recycling conscious days that's just too much plastic. The Johnson's lid is just the normal packaging only reinforced a little. I must admit though, on one of my original packs before getting more (the Extra Sensitive packet), the point where the lid folds did crack, from being opened and closed too often, but it might have been a one-off as it didn't happen with the other pink (non sensitive skin) packet.
I don't go anywhere without wipes and don't even consider them baby wipes as they can be used for a whole host of things like when Aaron gets muddy knees or hands and Daddy always keeps a packet in the car. Despite Aaron being six years old I had not stopped buying them before Lottie came along. Tonight though I did use wipes to clear her face up after dinner. I love that Johnson's baby do an extra sensitive wipe as Lottie does occasionally have flare ups like when her chest gets too wet from dribbling. Don't use those dribble bibs they are useless, it's plastic backed all the way now!
Both Johnson's Extra Sensitive Baby Wipes and Johnson's Gentle All Over Baby Wipes have been formulated to minimise the risk of allergies. Both have a no more tears formulation with the Johnson's lotion consisting of 97% pure water. Johnson's is a registered trademark of Johnson & Johnson Ltd. Both types have been gentle on Lottie's skin.
I would say that neither of the wipes have an overwhelming smell and like I said above Johnson's definitely performed better at getting the paint off Aaron's hands. I do like the new dispensing system and will update this post when I have finished the two recent packs so that I can confirm - hopefully - that my lid cracking was only a one-off. To be fair it did happen towards the end of the pack.
Disclosure: we were sent a pink pack and a yellow pack of Johnson's Baby Wipes (ohnson's Extra Sensitive Baby Wipes and Johnson's Gentle All Over Baby Wipes) and a messy play paint kit. This consisted of brushes, paint, an apron and a canvas. We were also sent 2 replacement packs of wipes.

Rawlings' Salary Ranks Lowest in Ivy League
By ryan November 29, 2000
Salaries for university presidents continue to soar with a handful even approaching the million dollar mark. Base pay without benefits for President Hunter R. Rawlings III, however, decreased to $204,670 for 1998-1999 from $207,990 in the previous academic year, the lowest base pay in the Ivy League. The executive committee of the Board of Trustees determines the president's salary on an annual basis, "pending the review of all the pertinent information," said Barbara Krause, secretary of the Corporation. "They look at a lot of things including salary and overall compensation at peer institutions; they consider performance," said Henrik N. Dullea '61, vice president for University relations. "There's also a conversation between the Board and the individual." Dullea refused to comment on the recent decrease in Rawlings' salary. "That's a subject between the Board and the President. That's a factor they work out together," he said. Rawlings' benefit package, however, at $220,760, ranked third among all universities. Harold Tanner, chair of the Board of Trustees, declined to comment on the amount to the Chronicle of Higher Education, stating, "We report what we're required to report." With benefits, Rawlings' earnings total $425,430. The median salary for presidents at research universities is $393,288, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. The highest paid university president, with benefits, is Harry C. Payne of Williams College with a total salary of $878,222. University of Pennsylvania President Judith Rodin ranks second with her earnings totaling $655,557. Currently 74 presidents earn above $300,000 with seven taking home more than half-million, according to the Chronicle for Higher Education. Cornell ranks behind the University of Pennsylvania, Yale, Princeton and Columbia in base pay plus benefits.Archived article by Beth Herskovits
Cornell Creates Mini-Machines
Cornell researchers are capturing international attention for successfully creating miniature, functional machines that are smaller than most viruses. These biomolecular machines are tiny motors that can rotate a propeller at eight revolutions per second, for up to two and a half hours. Although these machines are not sophisticated enough for any immediate applications, some future uses might include the purification of pharmeceuticals by sorting through individual molecules. "This is an engineering technology that allows [people] to precisely integrate engineered devices with living systems," said Prof. Carlo Montemagno '80, agricultural and biological engineering, leader of the research group working on these tiny motors. Their source of energy is adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the same molecule that normally provides energy for living cells. Building these motors requires ATPase enzyme, a component of living cells. The integration of living systems and synthetic motors is one highlight of this technological advancement, Montemagno said. The new motors have propellers about 750 nanometers (nm) in length and 150 nm in diameter. One nm represents one-billionth of a meter, and a single silicon atom is about one-quarter nm in diameter. Nanobiotechnology refers to the science field that involves working with living systems and objects at the nanometer scale. The pioneering contribution to nanobiotechnology by Cornell's team is the ability to "precisely" manufacture machines, according to Montemagno. Previous to this breakthrough, scientists have only been able to manufacture parts of the whole. Now they can integrate the pieces to work together in the machine. "This represents a new area [in nanotechnology] that integrates living material with custom nano-fabricated features," said Ricky Soong grad, who helped create the motors. The successful building and testing of these new biomolecular motors is reported in the Nov. 24 issue of the journal Science, but has found widespread attention in other places, including MSNBC, The New York Times, The Discovery Channel and the BBC British news service. "This is like discovering that we can control the flow of electricity in a wire," said Montemagno. "[However, this research] is a basic enabling technology, and will still take many years to reach maturity." "The device we built was a working prototype to illustrate engineering principles and techniques that can [eventually] be applied to more complex situations, [such as] manipulating biological systems at the nanometer," Soong said. Montemagno; Soong; Prof. Harold Craighead, applied and engineering physics, director of the Cornell Nanobiotechnology Center; George Bachand, research associate; Hercules Neves, senior research associate; and Anatolia Olkhovets grad contributed to the article which appeared in Science. The Discovery Channel will produce a program on these nano-devices, which will air on Science Live! at 8:00 p.m. today on the Science Channel.Archived article by Peter Lin

An annual conference for all partners, stakeholders and the general public, to promote the OWLP area's highly significant heritage, biodiversity and unique history, in order to showcase what makes this landscape special, to encourage more people to visit the area and engage with its heritage, and to change public perception of the area; there will be three conferences, each bringing about a different aspect of the landscape and its unique heritage: the natural landscape (2014); the historic landscape (2015) and the people landscape (2017).
This project will focus on the organisation and facilitation of an annual conference, one to be held in October of each of the three delivery years (2014 – 2016). This will be done in the shape of a series of interactive lectures/workshops given by various partners, combined with small-scale exhibitions about the projects and organisations within the scheme. These conferences will be open to the general public, although specific targeting will take place of members of the wider partner forum, user groups, as well as residents in the local area and surrounding market towns, and the local media. The conferences will build on the successful development-phase conference held at The Maltings in Ely on 05 September 2013, but will focus more on the partners' work and the delivery of projects within the scheme. This will be done in the shape of a series of lectures given by various partners, combined with small-scale exhibitions about the projects and organisations active within the scheme.
Discussions about the legacy of the scheme and the future of the landscape.
Year 1: the natural landscape; focus on e.g., biodiversity; habitat creation. Location: St Ives.
Year 2: the historic landscape; focus on e.g., archaeology, drainage history; churches. Location: Ely (TBC).
In addition to the above themes, all presentations and associated exhibitions will also be guided by the coherent overarching themes which define the 'stories' coming out of the work done by the partners. All partners will be involved in creating interactive displays, thereby getting the audience to engage with the heritage of the area. Through this process. The Ouse Washes LP landscape's highly significant heritage and unique history is widely promoted, in order to change public perception and to encourage more people to visit the area and engage with its heritage.

The Baltimore Orioles and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Loss.
By Stacey May 16, 2010, 10:43am EDT
Share All sharing options for: The Baltimore Orioles and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Loss.
Last night's game looked, for 8 innings, like it would be the Orioles 13th win (and 4th in a row), and that the team would end the night only tied as the team the with the least amount of wins in baseball, rather than being all alone in that distinction as they have been for the entire year. It was apparently not meant to be, as the bullpen blew 7 innings worth of good pitching by Brian Matusz to turn a 2-0 lead into a 8-2 loss.
Brian Matusz pitched 7 shutout innings but his performance was uneven. He did strike out 6 but he walked 4 and allowed 7 hits. All 7 were singles and Matusz worked out of trouble a few times to hold the Indians scoreless. It was the first game Matusz has pitched this year where he hasn't allowed any runs so even though his stuff wasn't dominant, he more than got the job done.
The Orioles hitters were totally unable to figure out the Indians starting pitcher Mitch Talbot. It's as weird to type that as it was to see it last night. The one batter who could handle the wonder that is Mitch Talbot was our home run hero, Ty Wigginton. In the 2nd inning Wiggy crushed one that went deep into the stands in left field to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead. Then in the 7th he did it again, the ball landing in the same section of left field but not as deep. That gives Ty Wigginton 12 home runs on the year, second in the majors to only Paul Konerko (seriously), who has 13.
After Matusz pitched 7 innings, it was clear he was finished for the night. He'd walked two in the 7th and looked like he had lost it. So in the 8th inning, Dave Trembley turned to Matt Albers. Albers hadn't pitched since May 8th, despite Friday's game being the perfect opportunity as the Orioles led 8-1. In that instance Dave Trembley decided to use Will Ohman for a reason yet to be determined.
Albers pitched to one batter last night, inducing a fly out to right field. Instead of allowing him to finish the inning, Trembley thought it would be a good idea to bring in Ohman again since there was a lefty at the plate. Look, I like The O Man as much as anyone, but he's already made 19 appearances, the most in the American League this year. Ohman walked Travis Hafner and Trembley immediately removed him from the game. No hesitation. He brought in Koji Uehara who induced a pop up before walking Russell Branyan thanks to getting squeezed severely by the umpire. He then struck out Grady Sizemore to end the inning. Koji looked good, but Trembley didn't even think about bringing him in for the 9th inning. You know why? Because Alfredo Simon is the closer.
Prior to last night's game, Simon had faced 5 save situations and had saved all 5. We all heard a lot about that because it's really the only positive stat about Simon. He hasn't been very good. But he's the closer and he gets the job done. 5 for 5! I mean, you can't really say that the fifth game he saved was due to Corey Patterson throwing the tying run out at home because Simon stunk, and you can't say that in his appearances prior to last night he'd given up 7 hits and 5 walks, because that might make a person think twice about bringing him in simply because he's the closer.
So, the closer came into the 9th inning and did the following: 0.1 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 1 HR. That's your closer. After the home run by Austin Kearns that gave the Indians a 4-1 lead, Trembley brought in Cla Meredith, who wasn't much better. When it was all said and done, the Orioles were down 8-2, and that's where it would stay.
A truly difficult loss. The Orioles now rely on David Hernandez to try and salvage the series. Hopefully he'll be on today.
Be sure to scroll down to see our first edition of "Diamond Dave's Daily WTF?" We all talk about Trembley's mismanagement in game, but now we'll be documenting it so that everyone can see exactly why he shouldn't be the leader of this team.

FROM THE STANDS - Domini M. Torrevillas (The Philippine Star) - December 1, 2020 - 12:00am
It's the talk of the town, i.e., of Gingoog City. And it's where connoisseurs and just plain food lovers go for a different dining experience. The town (laid-back with a 135,000 population) has a couple of "nice" places and carinderias to eat or take visiting friends or relatives to, but now the road leads to Cafea Haus on Guanzon street.
Cafea Haus opened only six months ago, but its popularity has spread by word of mouth. That's because of the uniquely-prepared dishes, done "with love and passion" by a Jamaican-American named Glenn Jackson. Added to that is the winsome personality of his partner, the former Anne Mie Bollozos, a Gingoognon through and through.
Let me tell you about the braised New Zealand lamb shank my hubby and I had there one starry night. The shank was the juiciest and most tender, it melted in the mouth, the best we ever tasted. Over Santana red wine, a plate of fresh garden salad, cappuccino and brewed Arabica coffee, chocolate cheesecake and conversation with Glen and Anne Mie, the night was just the beginning of what will be our constant journey to Cafea Haus.
The restaurant has a regular menu of pastas, appetizers and sandwiches and main courses, and a weekly expensive special menu, but both are served with the same amount of special care. Every week, a special menu is prepared. When we had dinner there, the special lunch and dinner menu included the braised New Zealand lamb shank, grilled wild Atlantic salmon (Caféa's most ordered dish), chicken parmigiana, surf and turf (a combination of seafood and meat), homemade Wagyu beef burger, grilled pork tenderloin and seafood trio (a combination of shrimp, calamari and salmon tossed with garlic basil, white wine and olive oil with linguine pasta).
Glen and Anne Mei decided against opening a coffee shop and opted for a restaurant but named it Cafea Haus, a combination of Romanian and German terms for coffee house. Glen said, "We wanted to introduce something that nobody offered here. Not just pork and chicken that people here are used to. Our food is a fusion of Mexican, Italian and North American. We use a lot of spices from the Caribbean, and a special spice called Jerk that is specifically from Jamaica and which we have a stock of." In other words, Glen's special dishes are his own innovations.
If you didn't know, Jamaica is the third largest of the Caribbean Islands, about 145 kilometers south of Cuba. It won its independence from British colonial rule in 1965, but the internet tells us the Queen has remained the island's head of state. Its capital is Kingston, it has a population of 2.9 million; one of its famous residents is the famous singer Harry Belafonte ("Coconut Woman," "Matilda").
Glen, dark and tall and 54 years old on Dec. 6, has many years of experience in the food business. As a young lad at St. Mary, Jamaica, while his brothers were in school, he stayed home and helped his mother cook – a task he totally enjoyed. It came as no surprise that when he was of college age, he chose to take up a culinary course at Adam College, two years of which were devoted to theoretical training, and the third year consisted of actual on-the-job training at hotels and restaurants. He then worked at different locations, among them Ariel Sands Resort which is owned by actor Michael Douglas in Bermuda. "It took me roughly ten years to become an executive chef." He was at this top position at Royal Reef Resort when he was introduced to Anne Mie, a Filipina who was visiting there with a friend.
Anne Mie had finished the Business Management course at Christ the King College in Gingoog when a friend convinced her to work in the Carribean. She passed online interviews with an American lady who owned several restaurants in Cayman, Jamaica, and for six years, she was a barista, making coffee at the Perk Up coffee shop. She started from the lowest position as server, wiping tables, taking care that the shop was neat and tidy. "I did everything at work. And I was always curious about what was being served. I'd ask the cooks, what is this, why are you doing this, when I drop by the kitchen. You know Filipinos, we go an extra mile, that's why foreign employers like to hire Filipino workers." In time, she was promoted to supervisor, then manager.
Glen and Anne Mie exchanged vows in 2008, and would come to Gingoog almost every year to visit Anne Mie's mother. Mrs. Bollozos convinced the two to open a restaurant. The couple renovated the two-story Bollozos house, had the ground floor converted to spaces for a restaurant, a conference room and kitchen, and the second floor for their personal quarters. They were so concerned about making things right, personally supervising the painting of the floors and walls, as well as eating at restaurants in Cagayan de Oro and Butuan city, and Gingoog. They do not do catering, but will deliver orders. They interviewed and trained for two weeks their staff of nine – waiters and the janitor and the gardener.
They are a perfect match. Glen says Anne Mie "takes care of the front, I take care of the back." Glen does the cooking, preparing the menu ("I have to keep thinking of what to present, I can't afford to be complacent, yes, I watch gourmets cooking on television programs, but I always do my own recipes.") He lets the kitchen assistants do the chopping and mincing of ingredients, but he puts things together. "We want to serve everything hot. We use only organically grown vegetables, we don't use MSG. Everything must be fresh, the vegetables and herbs. We buy the meat in bulk and some fish in the local market, but for the special meats, we drive over to Cagayan de Oro to get them." (CDO is a little over two hours west of Gingoog.)
Anne Mie takes care that her "kingdom," or the front line, is working well, the place clean, the servers observing protocol, serving plates and glasses that are sparkling clean. She checks on the times the food is served, and the waiters are friendly. She also checks on ornamental plants around the place, and in the front yard where tables sprout at night for guests who want to eat outside and breathe fresh air (but wearing masks as is the city's requirement). But she admits that customers keep returning to the restaurant not only for the food, but also because "I love talking with the customers. I love my work, I love the people coming here to eat, and they love me." And, she adds, "we always listen to what the customers say. If they tell us they are allergic to certain foods, we listen and make suggestions, we're flexible."
"I'm a food junkie," says Glenn. "I'm not happy with costings, that's Anne Mie's job. I want to prepare meals."
What does he love to eat? Vegetables and fish, and mostly fruits. Of Filipino dishes, he likes chicken adobo, but he has not thought of improving on the recipe to make it taste Jamaican.
Anne Mie says, "Our prices are high, we agree, but that's because we serve good food, the quality of our food and service is good, we love our customers and yes, we offer them ambience." The customers include the city's top executives and rising millionaires, visitors from Manila, business people from CDO and Butuan, families and plain folks like us, who are grateful that Cafea Haus has come to town.
For the special Christmas menu, Anne Mie looks at Glen and, with eyes tinkling, says there could be lobsters cooked Glen's way.

Confucius once said, "The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name." This simply means that it is our duty to refer to things accurately and see things as they are.


I conducted research at the University of Texas Dental School for 6 years in many areas including evaluation of bruxism utilizing scanning electron and confocal microscopy.
I was born and raised in Texas with family from the Mpls/St. Paul area and rural Minnesota. I have worked in public health for the U.S. Army and in private practice. I am continuing my education by taking photography courses at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design where my interest runs towards abstract minimalism, in particular shooting orchids and small/macro images. I am an avid windsurfer and sailor and hope to try kite surfing in the future.
I do not have any large issues or need much treatment so did not spend much time with the dentist (because he did not need to spend much time with me). The dental hygienist was AMAZING, very kind, explained all of the things she was doing and was very interested in making sure I was comfortable. I would absolutely recommend her.
Just had dental cleaning and exam this time, and everything was good. However, when I have needed treatment, they've always explained my options.
Dr. Lindner was top notch!
It is hard to rate the doctor when I saw him for less than 5 minutes. I was very pleased with the x ray technician as well as the hygenist. They were both very thorough and knowledgeable. I am not displeased with the doctor, I just spent much less time with him than the others.
Our child was gone for less than ten minutes. I doubt a dentist even saw him and if they did, it wasn't mentioned to us. The dentist or hygienist should spend some time with the parents -- just a couple of minutes -- to discuss the patient.
The dentist swoops in for twenty seconds. He didn't even talk about my teeth. I think he should spend a little more time with patients.
I have seen all of the doctors there based on my appointment needs and they are all great!
I think he is one of the best Dentists I hate going to the dentist because of anxiety I do appreciate having Dr Lindner, he helps me stay comfortable!
Very much enjoy a mature Dr. absolutely!
Daughter is terrified of the dr. instead of showing concern we were told "She needs to learn sometime".
Dr. Linder's and his assistants are great! They make such a great team along with the receptionist!
Doctor was not gentle during the appointment and did not explain what was happening. Assistant was very gentle and eased my fears by talking to me and explaining what was happening.
dr. Linder was very personable and kind. the assistant explained post procedure very carefully and answered my questions. Dr. Linder also answered my follow questions.
I just LOVE My Doctor. He is a very nice human being. Thanks doctor for all that you are been doing to me!!
Dr. Lindner and the dental assistant made me feel very comfortable and explained everything they did to me and they did a great job.
I've had this dentist for quite a while and think he is great.
Dr. Lindner is very friendly.
I really enjoy Dr. Ryan Lindner...he is very friendly and understanding of my anxiousness about mouth pain. He skillfully administers the novacaine at a rate where no burning/pain takes place. Always asking if I am comfortable and very informative as to what he is doing at the time he is doing it.
we didn't discuss my overall health.
The Doctor didn't do or say much. He took a quick peek and then left, looked into my mouth, didn't really give any feedback on my teeth. Minimal conversation, didn't feel very impressed!
Dr. Ryan Lindner and my hygienist were both fantastic! I had some questions about some things that came up with a vocal therapy I went through, and we had a great conversation. Dr. Lindner followed up on our conversation with his findings from some research he did later it the evening! I was honored he took the time to look into in and follow up with me. Phenomenal service and first experience for me at this office.
De. Lindbergh and his team are great.
Was there for cleaning and check up. Only saw the dr. for a few minutes. No dental issues for this visit.
The doctor could use some more soft skills for sure. He is very rushy and during a filling was outwardly irritated with the area of the filling and kept saying that it might have to be pulled instead.
I feel that the doctor is very kind and compassionate. He is very empathetic.
The dentist explained my dental work I need in the future because I was concerned about an upcoming surgery.
I was use to a Dr. on a normal visit taking a little more time to insure things are ok and considering I had just joined Park Dental, I thought that visit might be a little different then normal. I have schedule a 6 month appointment and was happy with the Hygienist, so things will be fine.
Dr. Lindner seems to be a very good dentist but is very reserved.

ready to scrap traditional morals as a mere error and then to put ourselves in a position where we can find no ground for any value judgments at all. The concept of greatness is changeable, in the realm of morality as well as in that of esthetics. Pose a question, essay titles are often statements rather than questions, like Politics today is dominated by pragmatic concerns, not ideological ones. It seeks a new realm and another channel for its activity, and it finds this in myth and in art generally.
Now it has gone so far that I have to defend myself hand and foot against people who confuse me with these anti-Semitic canaille ; after my own sister, my former sister, and after Widemann more recently have given the impetus to this most dire. While professing to hate every form of fanaticism and intolerance, what they really hated, at bottom, was the dominating genius and the tyranny of the real claims of culture. One day my name will be associated with the memory of something tremendous a crisis without equal on earth, the most profound collision of conscience, a decision that was conjured up against everything that had been believed, demanded, hallowed so far. There is a direct line from Emersons oversoul to the overman. Some disjointed writings, striving after effect in a most sordid manner, appear, written by a daring, but limited and abnormal German, suffering from power mania. 13 Wie nun der Philosoph zur Wirklichkeit des Daseins, so verhält sich der künstlerisch erregbare Mensch zur Wirklichkeit des Traumes; er sieht genau und gern zu: denn aus diesen Bildern deutet er sich das Leben, an diesen Vorgängen übt er sich für das Leben. The source of wrong is never unequal rights but the claim of equal rights. As"d in The Puzzle Instinct : The Meaning of Puzzles in Human Life (2004) by Marcel Danesi,. 494 This divergence and perversion of the essential question is most striking in what goes today by the name of philosophy.
