Walter Cronkite: Liberalism in the Guise of Objectivity
Punitive Cronkite
What James Piereson would call Cronkite's punitive liberalism had developed slowly, as with many of his fellow leftists, after the assassination of John F. Kennedy by a deranged Marxist. Which makes it all the more frustrating that in addition to the above examples, throughout Brinkley's book, he constantly praises Cronkite's vaunted "objectivity," despite the CBS anchorman's eagerness to violate it whenever it suited the left's causes. Or as Mark Steyn wrote in 2009 in an obit brilliantly comparing the CBS anchor to Michael Jackson, another then-recently deceased pop culture phenomenon, "he wasn't that trustworthy, not when it mattered."
One of the worst examples occurred in 1964, when Cronkite and then CBS newsman Daniel Schorr tag-teamed to attack Barry Goldwater, an especially egregious example of a smear, considering that TV of that era consisted almost solely of three national networks:
As managing editor of the CBS Evening News, Cronkite seemed to relish pricking Goldwater from time to time for sport. In late July, he introduced a report from CBS correspondent Daniel Schorr, a hard-and-fast liberal working from Munich. With an almost tongue-in-cheek smile, Cronkite said, "Whether or not Senator Goldwater wins the nomination, he is going places, the first place being Germany." Schorr then went on a tear, saying, "It looks as though Senator Goldwater, if nominated, will be starting his campaign in Bavaria, the center of Germany's right wing." The backstory was merely that Goldwater had accepted an invitation from Lieutenant General William Quinn for a quick holiday at Berchtesgaden, a U.S. Army recreational center in Germany. But Schorr made the takeaway point that Berchtesgaden was once "Hitler's stomping ground." Goldwater, trying to show off his NATO bona fides, had granted an interview with Der Spiegel in which he mentioned a possible trip to Germany soon. Some Democratic opposition researcher floated the idea that Goldwater was infatuated with the Nazis. It was ugly stuff.
Indeed it was, and it was part of a pattern. A decade prior, during the 1952 GOP convention, as Brinkley notes, "Long before the Nixon administration bugged the Democratic National Committee office at the Watergate in 1972, Cronkite, after much deliberation, had a CBS technician wire the committee room under the shady rationale that the covert act was good for democracy." If Dan Rather thought he could get away with promulgating false documents to attack George W. Bush in 2004, well, consider the environment in which he worked for over 40 years. The big difference being that by 2004, Rather was but one voice among many, and had to answer -- kicking and screaming all the way -- to charges from bloggers and Internet message board contributors. In contrast, Cronkite's entire career as anchorman took place in an environment which consisted of three television networks and one or two newspapers per city. As more and more Americans came to receive their information from the TV set, this gave Rather a near-monopoly status on the news.
This was not a healthy environment for the truth, to say the least. Nowhere was this more apparent than on February 27th 1968, when Cronkite declared the Vietnam war a "stalemate":
To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe in the face of the evidence the optimists who have been wrong in the past. To suggest we are on the edge of defeat is to yield to unreasonable pessimism. To say that we are mired in stalemate seems the only realistic, yet unsatisfactory, conclusion. On the off chance that the military and political analysts are right, in the next few months, we must test the enemy's intentions, in case this is indeed his last big gasp before negotiations. But it is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend Democracy and did the best they could.
Cronkite then signed off, "This is Walter Cronkite. Good night."

Nigeria's religious institutions and beliefs shape societal dynamics and norms in many ways, though there is little consensus as to precisely how these roles play out or on their importance relative to ethnic, class, and political affiliations and identities. A large number of faith-inspired organizations, working in diverse development sectors are active throughout Nigeria. This workshop brought together a select group of 10 academic researchers, development practitioners, and policy experts to inform WFDD's research in Nigeria. As part of the Religious Landscapes and Issues for Development Actors: Country Mapping Project, in collaboration with GIZ, aims to explore how faith-inspired organizations and religious leaders engage in the many facets of Nigeria's development, mapping their involvement and particular challenges and opportunities. This was a closed event with attendance by invitation only.


c) F grade lab (0-50% working): Do NOT even attempt to use this type!
Technical training lab environments can be a complex thing with lots of moving parts and dependencies. When a training class has been allocated an A grade lab, it is typically smooth until sunset on the last day of training. Attendees will have no problems going through the labs if they follow the step by step guide. The trainer would normally ask less of "Is everything OK?" and he gets to enjoy the peace and quietness of students diligently running through their lab exercises.
Attendees would exclaim with joy and often said in unison "It worked!". It would however leave the trainer somewhat feeling unfulfilled because there is no challenging scenario to solve. Perhaps it is a good thing not to have too many challenges though!
Sometimes, trainers do face difficulties in tackling the lab issues that should work but attendees proclaim it does not. There are 2 options. A quick and 90% sure to work option is to ask the student to REDO the labs. Oddly enough that almost always works! Alternatively the trainer can now demonstrate his troubleshooting skill.
On the occasion of obtaining a "B grade" lab, trainer will have to be skillful enough to navigate through it. Sometimes he will also have to pray hard that the Lab Administrators are readily available for support even if it means waking them up in the morning. When the Lab Administrator says he is 5 minutes away from the lab's location and he says the same thing again 1/2 hour later then the trainer should know by now that everyone is in trouble!
On a serious note though, this could potentially impact on the attendee's patience and also confidence. Sometimes attendees would prefer not to have additional challenges outside the box. Time management of the crisis is very important and the trainer should keep track of it. If troubleshooting the issue takes longer than it should, it is time for the trainer to make a swift decision to carry on, else it may impact on further exercises during the course.
Last but not least if a trainer gets a lab, he should immediately realise it is an F grade that when he is sweating more and everything felt like 56kpbs. Avoid it at all cost, period.
I must proudly say most of the time Red Education labs are well managed and of A grade functionality and quality. Of course labs are complex sets of systems, networking, hardware and software, and they do fail sometimes, but it's how these issues are handled that makes the real difference in a learning environment.
« How can Cloud help with IT Training?
F5's new certification program continues to gain momentum with all 300 level specialist exams now in general release and the first of the 400 level expert exams starting its beta in March. This flurry of activity has caused a stir within the F5 and wider networking community, with the exams gaining the respectable opinion of being challenging yet fair. Although passing the new F5 exams is not a trivial exercise, a candidate who can apply their knowledge to real life problems and situations will have what it takes to pass.
During my consultancy and training engagements, I am often asked how to prepare for the new F5 exams. F5 publish an exam blueprint for each of their exams, which outlines the topics that will be covered. It lists each objective and provides examples. There is also a rather esoteric column labelled "cognitive complexity" which is worthy of further explanation as it key to why the exams have earned considerable respect from within the community.
If you examine this column you will see the codes "R", "U/A" and "A/E" stated for each objective. So what do these letters mean? Well, let's have a closer look.
"R" stands for Recall. Objectives with a cognitive complexity of R will have questions that can be answered directly by memory. For example, "What TCP port does a HTTPS application use?" would be considered a recall level question because you simply need to remember the answer. Recall level questions can be used to test a candidate's fundamental knowledge. However, they do not test if the candidate actually understands the context of this knowledge or if they can draw on it to solve problems. As such, we need more than just "recall" level questions if we are going to truly test a candidate's F5 capabilities.
"U/A" stands for Understand and Apply. Objectives at this level will test the candidate's ability to apply their knowledge to solve questions. Building upon the previous example, "A virtual server uses a server SSL profile. What port should pool members be configured with?" would be considered a U/A question as it requires the candidate to understand no only what an SSL profile is but how it effects traffic to pool members. U/A level questions are great at testing if a candidate understands particular objectives. However, to truly gain confidence that a candidate can solve real world problems, we need to go a bit further.
Hopefully this insight into the F5 certification blueprint will help you better prepare for your exam. Don't forget to also download your exam's study guide from the certification portal, which you should now be able to put to more effective use.

This is a win review. from I can see some people really loved this book and some kind of hated it. I think it has a lot with your perspective on life. Myself I found the book to be charming and funny. Many gay people adopt children from other countries. The journey these men went on was very good.
This a wonderful story about two gay men in their thirties embarking on the journey to adopt a baby. It is cleverly written and very funny, but the most amazing thing about the book is the insight that it gives you into lives of a gay couple who are just trying to be happy, be normal, be a family, basically to just BE. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to laugh, cry and have a better understanding of their gay love ones.
As a beta reader and a real live supporting character in the book, I'm telling you this is worth the read! The story goes beyond the humor and the shenanigans - it's the real story about two people building a family when the whole world seemed to be against gay families. The struggles, the fears, the joys and the tearslove conquers all! You will love this book! Buy several copies right now!
Strongly recommended. Beautifully written. While I can identify with being in a long-term, gay relationship, my husband and I have no desire for children. Still I found Roach's memoir highly engaging. It's charming, funny and poignant simultaneously.
Popdaddy is a warm, humorous, and honest look at a very loving family. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
This was a heartwarming sometimes funny story of love,gay adoption and finally marriage.
I loved listening to the retelling of real-life events Jeffrey, and his husband Ken, go through while adopting their son, Jackson. The best part is that this is a funny, sweet, well written, and a happy story! It gave me hope (and giggles) :DKevin R. Free was perfectly chosen as the narrator and he adds so much to the overall experience.
I don't think I have every laughed and cried so much while reading a book. This is a wonderful story of the challenges faced by a gay couple adopting a child. Jeffrey really opens his heart and shares the heart wrenching reality that he and many gay and lesbian couples face on a regular basis while at the same time demonstrating clearly just how wrong those prejudices are. This is a great read, warm, humorous and delightful. I highly recommend this book.
A fun read although at times it was too self-indulgent and self congratulatory. For this excess however, it was balanced by self-deprecation and love.
What a great real story! Jeffrey had me crying tears of laughter early on. Later in the book, he had me crying tears of tender happiness. Families don't get better. Not just the boy and the boy and the baby, but also the aunts, grandmothers, cousins, etc. All that and this is an important piece of history about two of the early gay couples who adopted children in America.
Heart warming and totally fun and hilarious read!!Love love loved the story! And the writing is so so funny! I laughed out loud every few pages. Jeffrey Roach has an awesome sense of humour and a really fabulous writing style. I want more!!!

Three and a Half Out of Four Ain't Bad!
A crushing 3.5-0.5 win over a luckless Coventry B in our latest Cov League match has seen us jump up to fifth place in the table. A fourth place finish is not impossible, if things go well in our four remaining games, though being honest, if we can stay where we are now I will be one very happy match captain. We also have a KO Cup quarter-final to look forward to, and with the big guns from Warwick University not participating, this is a wide open competition.
Last night's success was not quite as convincing as the score suggests, because yet again Ben pulled off one of his great escapes to beat John McCann on Board 4. I had just assumed he was going to lose as every time I took a look at the position, more pieces had been swapped off and Ben's shattered queenside pawns seemed to be sitting ducks for a dominant white knight and rooks. But then out of nowhere White blundered and we had a full point.
By this stage we were already one point up, as Carl played a very smooth and powerful game with the white pieces against John Harris on Board 3 - breaking through decisively down the d file with his rooks to win material in double quick time. This was an impressive demolition job. I can't believe I ever called his White opening set up turgid. (And who I am to talk - see below!)
And all the time we were sitting on a guaranteed extra point as Mike was winning against Bob Holmes on Board 2 right out of the opening. White carelessly allowed a b5-b4 push undermining his extended pawn centre and Black was a solid pawn up almost immediately. Some energetic play by Mike swapped off the pieces around the White king which was left defenceless against Mike's queen and rook, so that the inevitable point duly came our way.
But regrettably your match correspondent was unable to complete the clean sweep, playing an anaemic opening very anaemically, and failing to show any superiority of bishop over knight in the ending. In fact Bernard C - yes, it was another of our very own in opposition - found a nice regrouping of his king side pawns and knights to secure a draw from a position of slight superiority.
So, as Meatloaf would have sung if he'd been a Coventry Chess League Match Captain, "three and a half out of four ain't bad."
Another Tuesday, another Coventry League match, and regrettably this time a defeat by 2.5-1.5 against Warwick University B. Coupled with other results, this saw us sink to 7th place, although we remain 7 points clear of Coventry B, and a win against them next week will make us mathematically certain to avoid last place. And any remote possibility of relegation.
Nearly every week, someone rises to the occasion to be a hero for the team, and last night we had two such people. Unfortunately it turned out that we needed three.
Dave was the first to answer the call to arms, notching an excellent first Coventry League win on Board 4 against Steve Turvey, after some interesting play on the White side of a Spanish. Unfortunately, the next two games did not go so well for us, and any heroism was only conspicuous by its absence. I was very nicely despatched by Peter Williams (my first Coventry League loss of the season) after a tense game from an English Opening. In a very tactical position I was out-calculated and lost material - as well as losing on time! Luckily they only got one point for that. Then Ben, so often our saviour this season, went the same way on Board 3, losing a depressingly one sided game against Andras Forizs who, having already seen off Roy and Dave, took his League score against us to 3/3 - while scoring 1/5 against everyone else.
So two villains, I'm afraid, but there was still time for a second hero to arise in the shape of Carl, who made light of a 34 point grading deficit to hold Paul Lam to a very creditable draw. (Clearly Paul was not at ease sitting on the "wrong" side of the table!) Not enough to save the match, but more than enough to give the score a thoroughly respectable appearance.
With University A being held to a very surprising 2-2 draw by Rugby (which did us no favours), this result was enough to return Paul's University B team to the top of the table. So at least one member of Kenilworth Chess Club can survey the League standings with satisfaction!
A Bit of a Non-Event
Kenilworth resumed Coventry League action on Tuesday with a home match against Rugby. Not much happened, so thank goodness I didn't try (almost) live blogging like Josh the night before, as there wouldn't have been much to write about.
Not long in and Mike D drew on Bd 2 against Nalin Kadodwala. He had a marginal advantage with a passed pawn in a rook and two bishops ending, but the pawn could be blockaded and there wasn't really much to be gained by playing on. Shortly after I drew on Bd 1 against Bob Wildig. This was probably the most boring game I have played for a long while. Absolutely nothing happened as piece after piece got swapped off from a Reti opening. The players agreed a draw just before they risked falling into a coma.
Then we took the lead as Ben, fresh from a great success of shared first place (with ex-Kenilworth man Ed Goodwin amongst others) in the Shropshire Major, struck (yet again!) on Board 4. He grabbed the Black b7 pawn with his queen at the cost of some time, and his opponent tried to cash in with a king side attack. But Ben defended carefully and when he got his queen side pieces into the game and his queen recentralised he took over the game, won a central pawn and when more material was dropping off his opponent called it a day.
Which left Carl on Board 3 against Jamie Kearney. He played that variation of the Caro Kann yet again. You know, the one which sends Josh into fits of rage. And he got into big trouble. His bishop on c8 became completely stuck, being dominated by a White knight that plonked itself in a big hole on b6. Which also fixed a Black rook on b8. After much grovelling by Carl, he managed to escape into a knight ending a pawn dawn. But it was tricky as he managed to place his few remaining pawns so that the White king couldn't get in. But then he had a rush of blood to the head, and just when he seemed to have chances to arrange a mass liquidation by sacrificing his knight and rushing his king to win the last remaining White pawn, he inexplicable exchanged knights leaving him dead lost. So no heroic Banbury-like save by Carl this time, and the match ended all square at 2-2. This at least kept us in sixth place with Rugby and Coventry B below us.
Two sevenths of the way to glory
Daventry only succeeded in convincing three intrepid souls to make the long trek to Kenilworth for our match, giving us a one point start before the match had even begun. The only minor fly in this otherwise fine ointment was that this was one of the rare occasions when I had managed to convince Paul he wanted to play for us, and consequently it was me who ended up without a game. I shall therefore endeavour to provide some snapshots of the games, whenever I can be bothered to get up from the thrilling cystic fibrosis treatment documents I am currently writing to go and look in the room.
19:30 update: Games in progress:
Kevin Bowman – Paul Lam
Andrew Paterson – Andy Johnson
Abbie Stevens– Mark Page
Current score: Kenilworth 1 – 0 Daventry
20:00 update:
Paul is playing the black side of an English, where his opponent appears to have made the mistake of allowing him tot play e4, horribly cramping the white position. Paul should be somewhat better, and is 7 minutes behind on the clock.
Andy is playing the white side of an exchange Slav (boo!), and is probably very slightly better as he has managed to exchange off his bad bishop. A minimal edge at best, however.
Mark is also playing the black side of an English, though his opponent appears to have played it slightly better than Paul's. Still, she has fianchettoed on the kingside and then managed to trap her bishop away from the g2 square, so I would assume Mark does have at least some edge. He is 13 minutes behind on the clock.
Paul still looks somewhat better, with a space advantage and two bishops, though there still doesn't appear to be anything too decisive. He is 3 minutes down on the clock.
Andy has won a rook, or at very least the exchange and a pawn if he can't get his knight back out. His opponent missed a simple fork and, with the rest of the position still symmetric he should be comfortably winning.
Mark adopted a Dutch setup, and has begun a very dangerous looking kingside attack. It may just be possible to defend, but I would place a bet on Mark crashing through to mate or considerable material gain before too long. He is 22 minutes down on the clock.
Paul is now a clear exchange up. There is still some complexity in the position but it shouldn't last too much longer now. He is 8 minutes down on the clock.
Andy is a piece and pawn up, still in a mostly symmetrical position so it shouldn't last too much longer now.
Mark did give mate, or at least came sufficiently close that his opponent was forced to resign.
It looks like I am going to be the only member of the team who doesn't win a game of chess over the board today.
No real change. We continue to be completely winning in both games, but they have not been won yet.
The match is now over, with both players wrapping up convincing if not overly dramatic games. A solid win, and let's hope our future opponents are equally generous with their team selection.
Final score: Kenilworth 4 – 0 Daventry

One seventh of the way to glory
Starting the second half of the season in second place, but three point off the top, leads me to believe we may well need to win all seven of our remaining games in order to take the title. The first hurdle in our path was that of Banbury B, a strangely amorphous team, as the club has so many players rated between 155 and 160 that you never know who is going to turn out on a particular day. My game, as white against Chris Evans, was, as has so often been the case recently, the first to finish. Usually this is a good sign for my performance, but in this case I was comprehensively smashed off the board by my opponent, who constructed a mating attack so severe the only way to stave it off was to give up sufficient amounts of material as to make playing on ridiculous. The worst part of it all was I don't think my opponent used more than 30 seconds for any move in the game. I don't mind losing every now and again, but being completely demolished by a mid-150s graded player who didn't even need to think to do it does not bode well for the future. I think I shall start claiming it is part of a strategy to gradually worsen my performances over the next few weeks so that, rather than being disappointed, everyone is instead thrilled when I finally leave.
Fortunately not everyone on the team was playing as badly as me. Mark, black on board two against Gary Jackson, played his now trademark Najdorf and seemed, for reasons that were not entirely clear, to have a fairly standard looking position about 3 tempi up, so black's attack was looking menacing before white had really got going. Mark played what looked like a thouroughly crushing piece sacrifice to open up his opponent's king, and I then realised he could also win the piece back on the next move as well, meaning he hadn't even given up material to do so. Before long there was a black pawn on c3 (with the white king on b1), and two black rooks on the open a file. Unsurprisingly, mate soon followed, with the post match analysis finding numerous exciting different ways that white could get mated on different squares of the board, but no way to save himself. Another case study in the virtues of giving up the French Defence (let other users of this turgid opening take note).
Andy had a less exciting but equally comprehensive win, as white on board one against Neil Staples. Black started with the offbeat, and in my opinion unimpressive, black knight's tango opening (1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 Nc6) and Andy, after pushing d5, ended up with a very pleasant space advantage that was surprisingly reminiscent of a mirrored Alekhine Defence (d5 hitting the c6 knight, rather than e5 hitting the f6 knight, etc.) He seemed to move from one slight but persistent advantage to another, from a space advantage to his opponent having pawn weaknesses to Andy having more active pieces, until I briefly left the room with Andy looking like he was about to win a pawn. When I came back he had won a piece. I have no idea how this happened, but it certainly put an end to the game nice and swiftly, and we moved 2-1 ahead.
Sadly, however, it only looked like this was going to be good enough for us to hold the draw. Carl once again played his strange hybrid of a French and Caro-Kann, basically playing c6 and e6 without developing the light-squared bishop. This opening may have given him a fine position against me in our Coventry League game but despite (or perhaps because) of this I'm unconvinced by the positions black gets. Carl in particular suffered from "too many knights syndrome", first from an errant steed on a6 not contributing to the game, and then by having the same knight reposition itself to e8 where, sadly, the only useful square it could go to (f6) was already occupied by another knight with nowhere else to go. I won't go into this any further but will instead just give my thoughts after each of the last ten moves of the game played by Carl's opponent: Carl is lost, Carl is lost, Carl is completely lost, Carl is completely lost, Carl might be able to hang on now, Carl is lost, Carl is completely lost, Carl is completely lost, Carl is completely lost, Carl's opponent just blundered his queen. It wasn't quite Phil levels of brilliance but it certainly came close. A testament to the rewards of good defence and further evidence, if any were needed, that in the Leamington League it is worth playing on a long time before you resign, as you never know what might happen.
Final score: Banbury B 1 – 3 Kenilworth A
Six matches left to go: six more wins required.

Are You Waiting for a Promise?
I have been waiting to see God's promises for a LONNNG time. I know that some of you may be in that same place. I have promises and prophetic words some as old as 20 years and some only a few months that I have not yet seen come.
I am tired of waiting for :__________. I am mad at God for waiting. God IS good and just therefore there must be a reason. What did I do wrong ? Am I being punished? Why?
I began to press in this last time with the why and let me tell you some things that I have found in the Bible that speaks to me.
When the disciples saw a blind boy this is the conversation they had with Jesus: His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
John 11 :Jesus deliberately ignored the request to come heal Lazarus and waited until he was dead THEN came and resurrected him. Why? To God's GLORY.
So in our waiting, could it be that God is allowing us to come to the very place where it is only by God's grace and power that we overcome? Is it NOT punishment but a path that leads to the glory of God?
There could never be a resurrection without a death. In order to rebuild, there has to be demolition, So is the hope that you have seen deferred (job. Salvation of a loved one, a spouse, the promise of better days, health etc.) We must see that the longing Will be fulfilled in due time, at the moment when God will be glorified. The tree of Life will bear fruit and we will have our Jubilee. That is our hope, our faith and our promise.
OUR resurrection is coming. May our waiting produce Longing and the maturity of character that will reflect and Glorifiy God alone.
So very good, friend!!! I t is hard on the flesh (death) to learn God's WAYS. His will is easy if He is Lord of our lives but His WAYS of preparing us for the fulfillment of His will is something else… so thankful to be a part of your and Ryan's life!!!
You mean liқe once we sing praiѕe songs in Church??
and started too mɑkе up a tune to a very unheaⅼtһy tune.
?Jesus is so cool. Its enjoyable being with God. He is the funnest God anyone may have.?

Always looking for new recipes and these look great.
Hi Fern, Your old cookbook sounds wonderful. Sometimes those older recipes are the best.
Curious, why thinly slice the lemons when the recipe only calls for lemon juice?
sometimes the oldies are the goodies. There weren't as many choices on the store shelves. ie; bottled canned and pre made.
Hi Mary, hope you enjoyed!

A short story about a girl telling a family secret.
"We have an undead grandmother at our house," Raina smiled at him and adjusted her hair.
The boy looked at her with disbelief. She tried to tell him all sorts of weird stories, but this one seemed to be the top.
"An undead grandmother," repeated the girl and then looked down pretending that she is doing the exercise that the teacher gave them.
"What?!" asked the boy again.
"Mr. Welling, are you talking again?!" The teachers voice roamed across the class. The boy lowered his head instantly, trying to look preoccupied with work.
"Sorry," whispered Raina. She didn't want to cause him any troubles. Instead she liked him so much that she tried to help him even when it wasn't necessary. It has been a blessing for her that the teacher made him change seats for talking during the class. Who would have known that the silent girl is so fond of the class rascal?
He didn't. He hadn't acknowledged her voice before the seat change. She was silent, shy, avoiding troubles so insistently that no one was bullying her. But now the boy started to realise that there is a strange enjoyable weirdness in her which made him to look forward to talking to her.
"You mean smelling like undead?" The boy asked silently.
"Like a ghost?" The boy tried to remember some of the ghost stories he heard in a summer camp.
"Talk? Nonsense." He lost his attention and became fully focused on the exercise.
"It´s not actually a grand mother, but a great-great… Ah, whatever." Raina felt that she lost the conversation, but she didn't loose her hope. There will be many other opportunities and she knew that she would occasionally win his hearth.
– You shouldn't tell family secrets to a stranger.
"But granny," Raina sighed and stopped waving her legs under a chair and she turned to her grandmother. The old lady's body was in a glass coffin leaning against the kitchen wall. The grandmother's dried mummified face looked at Raina with an unreadable expression. Raina was aware that grandmother knew about everything that happened. And sometimes she would know about things of the future.
– You wish my dear, you wish.
"And you know that too!" Raina jumped to the floor with excitement.
– I know my dear that you wish.
Raina took it as a yes. She danced out of the kitchen and down the stairs, happy imagining the lovely future. The old lady's ghost watched her and it's immaterial presence followed her out of the house. It knew what the young girl didn't want to think of. It knew that her wish won't come true.
But maybe one revealed secret won't do any harm. And one disproved illusion either. Maybe.


18bet has been around for quite a few years now, and it is held in high regard by the punter community as a promising Asian-style bookie. Licensed and regulated, this bookmaker has a lot of features which will hold the interest of any punter. Owned and operated by Shark 77 Limited, this web portal was established in 2012 while focusing on the Asian betting market. Today, this provider's services have expanded to a lot of European punters as well. Read on, and you will get the straight facts and rank of this sportsbook.
One of the significant drawbacks of the bookie is the small number of sports. You can find all 11 of them situated on the left side of the homepage. They go as follows: Soccer, Tennis, Basketball, Volleyball, Handball, Ice Hockey, Baseball, Snooker, Boxing, Rugby League, Rugby Union. Although the selection of sports could use a bit of an update, players still have access to more than 1000 betting market opportunities.
All other sports have less or approximately 100 markets to offer. Tennis (108), Snooker (63), and Basketball (57) seem to have the most markets after soccer, with all other sports falling (not-so-closely) behind. Bear in mind, that 18bet constantly updates its sports roster, so it won't come as a surprise if in the future we see a lot more available markets.
18bet is licensed in Malta by MGA (malta Gaming Authority), and has met the necessary requirements in order to conduct business operations. Malta is considered to be one of the first jurisdictions to start issuing licenses and regulate gambling operations online. The rules set up by the licensing administration are upheld rigorously, in order to ensure that all bettors are receiving fair markets. We've listed a few of the requirements that a sportsbook needs to cover, in order to conduct their legal business.
You will find the most general and some less common markets and bet types like total goals, over/under, Asian Handicap, correct score, home team total, both teams to score, half time/full time, draw no bet, etc. Clearly, the market variety isn't as big as it is on other betting sites, but it does provide the punter with the ability to calculate between several wagering schemes, and choosing the best course of action. Additional bets include Moneyline, System Bets, Odds/evens, Multi-Bets, and a few others which are usually sport-specific.
Simple yet functional, 18bet's bet slip provides sufficient information for a punter to follow its wagers. Standardly situated in the mid-top-right corner of the webpage, it has two tabs, respectively designated "bet slip" and "my bets". Once you make a selection of a few markets, under the first tab will unlock three others; single, combo, and system bets. Under the secondary slip tab, you will be able to follow the wagers you've confirmed.
Few sports are on offer when it comes to 18bet in-play betting. They may vary day after day depending on the available events, but the main sports are Football (soccer), Tennis, Basketball, and Volleyball. When you select a sport, a list of all events will be displayed. If you want to get a glimpse of the markets, hit "All Markets". There are different view types in case you want to personalize your 18bet sports live betting page.
18bet covers a range of payment options allowing customers to top up their accounts with whichever method they are accustomed to using. It has to be said that the options here vary from country to country, therefore your deposit and withdrawals list may look a little different than what you will see here; this also applies to any potential transfer fees that might or might not be present.
Banking options include e-wallets, credit/debit cards, and bank transfers. Some of the brands you will encounter at 18bet, are: WebMoney, Boleto, QIWI, Yandex Money, Sofort, Trustly, Skrill, Skrill 1-Tap, Neteller, PaysafeCard, ecoPayz, Entropay, VISA, MasterCard, Rapid Transfer, and many others. When you choose your method, make sure you pay attention to the information depicted in front of it; you will find out the minimum and maximum limits, as well as processing times.
The welcome bonus boosts up your balance up to €/$/£100 by claiming the 100% match-up upon signup. When you finish registration, fill up your account with a minimum of €/$/£10 and enter a code which will unlock the promotion and the funds will travel to your account instantly. x12 rollover requirements must be met before you make that cash withdrawable; make sure you read those terms and conditions before you claim the bonus.
Go to the Campaigns page of 18bet, select "Activate Coupon" and enter the code 18FREE to unlock your bonus. Place a minimum of a €/$/£10 bet on odds of 1.8 or higher and if you lose, you will receive a free bet which will be worthy of 20% of your wager. The following markets are allowed: both to score, half time/full time, odd/even, 1×2, 3way handicap, total goal, double chance, and correct score. Other terms and condition may also apply, so be sure to visit the site of 18bet for more details.
In addition to these offers, the operator also provides monster combo cashback, correct score mania and a lucrative reload bonus. The following bettors are eligible for the latter: people who for some reason did not succeed in meeting the turn-over requirements of other bonuses on the site; people whose balance is drained down to €/£/$1; and 18bet users who have placed a minimum of 5 bets on sports with the last deposit. Other terms and conditions still apply.
And there is even such a thing as a private sports bonus. It will be tailored to meet your needs and expectations. To claim your very personal bonus, contact the staff via email or live chat (all contact details provided below) and ask them about the promotion. Based on your account status and gaming history, you might be eligible for the receival of a truly exhilarating bonus.
The company customer support department of 18bet is open around the clock to answer questions, receive feedback and help members on the site with any issues they may be running into. The agents can be reached by live chat. Click on the banner that reads "Live Chat" on any page that you can see it, enter username or email and begin chat. No matter what type of inquiry you might have, you can be sure that the assistants of 18bet will address it promptly.
Another way to have a word with customer support is by sending them an email to support@18bet.com. It won't be handled immediately as live chat messages are, but it will be addressed within 24 hours or sooner, depending on how busy the operators are. If your request is reviewed during less busy hours, you might be able to receive a reply in no more than a few hours. Whenever a question arises, you may also have a look at the FAQ page.
While at this moment there isn't a dedicated application for 18bet, the sportsbook's customer service agents assured us that one is currently in the works. After being encouraged to use the website's mobile version, we were assured that it would be as functional as the computer-based one. This leads us to believe that when the application comes out, it will have the same functionality as 18bet's sports platform.
At last, we will tell you the ranking which we gave 18bet. As seen above, the website has some great features, and a few drawbacks. The Sports section needs more exotic sports to be added. There are no single non-sport, or e-sports category; although the live chat is present, there is no telephone line. Live streaming is yet to be introduced.

Becky Lynch on WWE Featuring Women More, Her Idols Growing Up, Possibly Main Eventing WrestleMania
Sep 16, 2016 - by Marc Middleton
WWE Smackdown Women's Champion Becky Lynch answered questions via an international media call earlier today. TalkSport in the UK has provided the following highlights:
The possibility of main eventing WrestleMania 33:
"I don't see a reason why we all couldn't main event WrestleMania next year. That's the next step. Once you've reached one goal you're onto the next and we've got to keep working hard to achieve that. I never really stop to celebrate each step, because I'm always looking to what's next, but it's one thing to get to a certain level but we have to also maintain that. But you never know what will happen, it would be an amazing moment for all of us for sure."
Her heroes and idols as a child:
"There were different stages of idols for me. Originally it was Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior and Macho Man when I was kid. Then when I got into wrestling again during the attitude era, the reason I started watching again was Mick Foley. I just loved him, every time he cut a promo I felt so sorry for him, so I always wanted to him win and routed for him. He was the hook that got me, then I saw Lita and I thought she was the coolest thing in the world. Then when I got older even though he wasn't in the WWE, AJ Styles was someone I loved watching. Others too like Tiger Mask, Dynamite Kid and Shawn Michaels too."
WWE featuring multiple female programs at once:
"It's what we've always wanted. I've always asked; Why should there only be one women's storyline? There's always more than one for the guys, why not for the girls? Why is there only one women's match on a pay-per-view? There are a lot of girls who've got issues with each other and we're all fighting for something. I think it's great, the brand extension has been great for that and it brings out that competition, it that's rivalry that brings the best out in people – or the worst."

Obama's Copenhagen Deal
How it came about—and why it may not be a real deal.
Flickr/White House.
The final deal at the Copenhagen climate summit, which was convened to develop a comprehensive international response to the threat of global warming, came down to a behind-closed-doors conversation among some of the most powerful people in the world about the difference between two terms: "examination and assessment" and "international consultations and analysis."
Then again, there may not have been a final deal. Late on Friday night, President Barack Obama announced that an agreement had been reached, establishing a minimalist accord that would not set a firm schedule with hard-and-fast targets for reducing emissions. But after Obama held a press conference to declare semi-victory—"this is going to be a first step"—and jetted back to Washington, European officials said nothing was in the bag. And Lumumba Stanislaus Di-Aping, the Sudanese chairman of the G77 bloc of least developed nations, claimed there was no deal. "What has happened today confirms what we have been suspicious of that a deal will be imposed by United States, with the help of the Danish government, on all nations of the world," he said.
This raised the question, was the Obama deal merely a side deal that would be agreed to by some nations but not all? A convenient bypass of international climate negotiations?
In that short press conference, Obama noted that the pact had come together during an evening meeting he held with the leaders of major developing nations—China, Brazil, South Africa, and India. "Each agreed," he said, "to list national actions and commitments with international consultation and analysis under clearly defined guidelines" and aim to limit the global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius. But it wasn't that simple—or clear—according to a participant in that decisive gathering, Brazil Ambassador Sergio Serra.
The meeting, which lasted more than three hours, was hosted by Premier Wen Jiabao, and first began with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and South African President Jacob Zuma attending. About an hour into it, Obama arrived, with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The participants did not deal with numbers or targets for emissions. Instead, the conversation turned to the knotty matter of verification. Throughout the summit, the United States, Europe, and Japan had been pressing China, which has vowed to reduce the pace of its growing emissions, to accept outside monitoring of its performance. China has resisted, claiming it could audit itself. This remained "the most contentious thing," Serra said. "The Chinese were very reluctant to accept any kind of international supervision or international analysis of the performance of their actions."
As the discussion continued, Obama dropped a term on the table: "examination and assessment." This suggested direct monitoring of Chinese emission curbs by outsiders. Chinese officials in the room pronounced it unacceptable."We weren't that happy with it, either," Serra noted. So a new description—"international consultations and analysis"—was worked out. A "consultation" is obviously less intrusive than an "examination." But what does "international consultations and analysis"—soon to be referred to as ICA—mean? Asked this, Serra shrugged and said, "Ehhhh." He added, "The definition will be negotiated by a panel of people. They will decide what it means, like everything else." Obama promised to sell this not-well-defined ICA phrase to the Europeans. He also told Wen and the others that he had been asked by the Europeans to push for the below-2 degrees level.
The resolution of that six-word dispute eased the US-China deadlock that had paralyzed the summit, creating space for an agreement that may not be an agreement—christened the "Copenhagen Accord."
Whether or not that title was presumptive, the draft document released is vague. It contains few specific numbers—beyond "recognizing the scientific view" that a global temperature rise should be "below 2 degrees." It dropped language from an earlier draft calling for cutting global emissions in half by 2050. The agreement urges developed nations to implement reductions they have already pledged—without spelling out those numbers or establish baseline years. Developing nations would establish their own emissions curbs. (All these countries are supposed to declare their reductions targets by February.) The China-friendly verification provision rests on that vague "international consultations and analysis clause." The agreement also incorporates the US-European offer to help mobilize $100 billion a year until 2020 to help poorer nations contend with climate change, and commits $30 billion for short-term funding for related programs, such as deforestation prevention—without providing details about these financial programs. Most important, the draft says nothing about future negotiations and any pathway toward a legally binding treaty incorporating global cuts.
"The result is not what we expected," said Serra. "It may still be a way of salvaging something and paving way to another meeting or series of meetings next year."
Announcing this agreement, Obama himself acknowledged a weakness with the proposal: "With respect to the emissions targets that are going to be set, we know that they will not be by themselves sufficient to get to where we need to get by 2050….There are going to be those who are going to—who are going to look at the national commitments, tally them up and say, you know, the science dictates that even more needs to be done." But he contended that this agreement—by encouraging all the major economies (developed and developing) to commit jointly to emissions curbs—marked a "shift in orientation" and insisted that he remained committed to seeking a binding treaty.
US environmentalists split over whether Obama's move was a triumphant save or an act of self-interest. Environmental Defense Fund head Fred Krupp and League of Conservation Voters president Gene Karpinski high-fived each other in a Bella Center hallway. "Obama has delivered the clear breakthrough we needed on climate change," exclaimed Jeremy Symons, a senior vice president of National Wildlife Federation. By rounding up China and India, Obama has improved the prospects for the climate change legislation pending in the Senate—where foes of the bill have used these nations' absence from previous accords as a justification for opposition. And until a bill passes, Obama can't make good on his modest proposed reductions.
But not all the American environmentalists were celebrating. "This is not a strong deal or a just one—it isn't even a real one," said Erich Pica, president of Friends of the Earth US. "The actions it suggests for the rich countries that caused the climate crisis are extraordinarily inadequate. This is a disastrous outcome for people around the world who face increasingly dire impacts from a destabilizing climate."
The Obama agreement was a sly maneuver. The United States sidestepped the official proceedings and found a way to separate major developing nations from poorer ones—while skating past European desires for a more comprehensive and binding agreement. Though European negotiators first declared they were not on board, as the final evening of the summit entered the wee hours, Europe conceded. At a 2:00 a.m. press conference, dour-looking European leaders announced their unhappy support. "This accord is better than no accord, but clearly below our ambition," said European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso. "We have to be honest."
Even one of the diplomats who helped broker the deal was not entirely pleased. Asked if this deal made Copenhagen a success, Serra replied, "There is the perspective that with this agreement we may reach a satisfactory and equitable result next year." Then he paused: "The disappointment is still there."

Home/The Grand Tour/The Next Grand Tour Episode Is "Coming Soon" According To Jeremy Clarkson
The Next Grand Tour Episode Is "Coming Soon" According To Jeremy Clarkson
Steven DouglasMarch 4, 2020
We've been left in the dark when it comes to The Grand Tour and its next episode of Season 4. The Grand Tour Presents: Seamen received mixed reviews, so fans are keen to see what else Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May can come up with after they abandoned the tent for a smaller number of special-only episodes.
On Twitter, Clarkson was unusually vocal about when the next episode is going to be released after a bombardment of questions on his account. With one fan asking: "what's up with The Grand Tour?", Jeremy replied with the following:
"Nothing. Coming soon."
Nothing. Coming soon
— Jeremy Clarkson (@JeremyClarkson) March 1, 2020
This is the first news of a release date since Andy Wilman talked about the two episodes of Season 4 last year where he explained that the first episode would come around Christmas. He also let slip that episode 2 would come Springtime. Spring officially starts on the 20th of March, so we can expect the next special episode to come sooner rather than later!
Episode 2 Details
The trio was spotted driving three highly modified cars in Madagascar – you can see the video below. These three cars, a Ford Focus with caterpillar tracks, a Bentley Continental GT, and a Caterham with large, off-road wheels are expected to be the premise of Episode 2.
We can't wait to see the lad back on our screens – it's been far too long!
Are you excited?

As a coach to interior designers, I want to share 3 tips that will help melt away that overwhelm and get you on your way!
Acknowledge overwhelm and it will dissipate.
Rather than pushing away that feeling of overwhelm with hopes it will go away, just acknowledge the way you feel. Yes. Feel it and say, "It's ok." Breath. Say it again. Repeat 5-6-8 times. When we can sit with our overwhelm – not succumb to it – but just say, "ok, there it is", it will dissipate and shift. Once the feelings are "seen" they release the hold they have on us. It is a little like science. Once you turn on the light, darkness disappears. The overwhelm might not melt away completely, but it will break apart just enough that it shifts the perspective from paralyze into "I can do this".
Don't wait for a big block of time to start.
Take big tasks and "chunk them down" into short little tasks.
The most demotivating way you can write a list is to take a huge task with 1000 moving parts, and write it as if it was one step, "finish taxes." Never do that! Promise me? "Finish taxes" is the headline but break it down into the tiny steps and schedule it on your calendar. If you have 5 minutes. Gather bank statements. If you have one hour take a topic and sort papers, say expenses. Sort into marketing expenses, educational, operational, travel, lead generation, etc… When your timer rings, change your attitude about getting things done. Instead of being unhappy because you only got "X" amount done, BE HAPPY because you got "X" amount done. Trust me, positive outlook is motivating. Being "less than" is demotivating.
BONUS SECRET! (and my favorite). Aromatherapy.
Splash on some lavender essential oil – don't be cheap, be generous – or light your favorite fragrance candle with some dance music and MAKE IT FUN!!
Want a breakthrough? Send me a note!

Q: AvalonDock + UserControl + DataGrid + ContextMenu command routing issue I'm getting weird behavior with command propagation from MenuItems of ContextMenu.

</Window>

Code-behind is trivial as well:
public partial class MainWindow
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        _evilGrid.ItemsSource =
            new[]
                {
                    Tuple.Create(1, 2, 3),
                    Tuple.Create(4, 4, 3),
                    Tuple.Create(6, 7, 1),
                };
    }

    private void ExecuteZoom(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("zoom !");
    }

    private void CanZoom(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        e.CanExecute = true;
    }
}

So here's the problem: right-clicking on the selected row (if it it was selected before the right click) my command comes out disabled. The command is "Zoom" in this case, but can be any other, including a custom one.
I don't know what's at fault here. SNOOP shows that in cases when this propagation fails, instead of UserControl, CanExecute is handled by "PART_ShowContextMenuButton" (Button), which is part of docking header.
I've had other issues with UI command propagation within UserControls hosted inside AvalonDock, but this one is the easiest to reproduce.

A: ContextMenu is a popup and as such it has the FocusScope attached property set to true:
From MSDN

A focus scope is a container element
  that keeps track of the
  FocusManager..::.FocusedElement within
  the its scope. By default, the Window
  class is a focus scope as are the
  Menu, ContextMenu, and ToolBar
  classes. An element which is a focus
  scope has IsFocusScope set to false.

Basicly it also tells commands to stop looking any further in the visual tree.
So you have two options

*

*Set the FocusManager.IsFocusScope="True" on your context menu object

*Or move your Command bindings so that your are bound to the ContextMenu in stead of the UserControl like so:
Code sample:
<ContextMenu FocusManager.IsFocusScope="False">
    <ContextMenu.CommandBindings>
        <CommandBinding Command="Zoom"
                Executed="ExecuteZoom"
                CanExecute="CanZoom"/>
    </ContextMenu.CommandBindings>
         <MenuItem Command="Zoom"/>
</ContextMenu>

Hope this helps! :)

Most people never really look at their roof. When they drive into the driveway, they notice the lawn, shrubs and maybe some kid's toys that need to be picked up. But the top of the house is an important part of the house and plays a very big part. Once in a while, after a big rain, some moisture will drip and the ceiling gets wet. That is a little harder to overlook, but many times people let it go anyway. At least for a while, because eventually it will have to be fixed.
Now is as good a time as ever to start checking things out. All coverings on homes need a good maintenance check every few years, but the homeowner can do their own in between times. Look up and notice if there are any missing shingles. Often they get blown off during a big wind storm or others just come loose and fall. Are there any trees or wires that are hitting? This can be very dangerous and needs to be taken care of immediately. Can streaks be seen where water has been running off? Note anything else unusual and if anything is found, call a professional to take a look. Even if the covering is new, it can have problems which need to be addressed before they cause damage.
Roofs are made to last at least fifteen years. Some will last longer, but often during those years they will need some maintenance. Call a professional to come and check it out. It is like a dental check up. Most of time there will be no repairs needed and it is just a maintenance check. This is often free and a good repairman will inspect the whole thing by climbing up to the top and spending time walking around. They are specialists and know what to look for.
After the maintenance check, the roofer will provide a list of needed repairs. Many times, there will be none. All this is done as a precautionary step. When he is looking at the roof, he will often inspect the gutters. Sometimes they can be full of leaves and debris and cause water to build up. Ask him to include this as part of the maintenance check. This is something the owner can also be aware of and clean themselves. Make sure all gutters are clear and make a needed repair before permanent damage occurs.
It is possible to have mold and algae grow on the roof. The northern part is more likely to have this problem or any other area that is in the shade much of the day. It is easy to spot and will look like dark streaks or spots. Part of the yearly maintenance might be to have the roof professionally cleaned. If mold, algae or fungus are left to grow, it will cause damage. No one wants to get to that point because then it will be very expensive to repair.
Anyone who is thinking about selling their home will want to make sure everything is in good repair. After the house has an accepted offer on it, most people will have an home inspection. The inspector will come out and thoroughly look throughout the whole home. He will only note the condition of the roof. He will often suggest that it needs some maintenance and add that a professional should check out it out. He does not climb on top nor will he make any predictions.
A professional roofer will be able to give an estimate of how many more years the material on the top of the house will be able to provide the proper coverage. He will spend time inspecting the total area and give a written report on the condition. He will note if a repair is needed and will give advice on how to handle any problems.
Maintenance is always important and in the long run, it will save the homeowner money. It is a good idea to take care of things while they are small. When buying a home, always have professional inspections and it will save lots of headaches in the future. It is the prudent thing to do and there will never be a need for a bucket to catch water from a leak. Check it out today.

Home Videos The Universe in 10 Features: 6. Spiral Galaxies
DrCarpineti
As we've seen in the previous vlog, spiral Galaxies started forming from the primordial protogalaxies about 11 billion years ago. The formation of spiral galaxies is important because it happened at the peak of population II stars formation and allowed for planets to form.
Spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disc with stars, gas and dust organised in arms that wrap around a central bulge or bar.The spiral structure is given by a density wave. As cars stuck in a traffic jam move in an out of the jam, so do stars, gas and dust: they can move in and out of the spiral arm, which remain a higher density rotating region. This movement allows new stars to form.
The central region, called the bulge, is quite different. It hosts a supermassive blackhole and it is mostly composed by population II stars. Population II stars are the second generation of stars to evolve in the universe, They are metal poor, mostly composed of Hydrogen and Helium alone. They are responsible for the formation of most of the stable heavy elements now present in the Universe and it's thanks to them that we are here. When those stars went supernovae they created the carbon in our body, the oxygen that we breathe and everything else on Earth.

Catholic Church & AsiaFABCNews
Asian Catholic bishops postpone major gathering due to pandemic
By Jose Torres Jr., Thailand

The Federation of Asian Bishops Conferences (FABC) has announced that it will postpone its general conference set in November this year at Baan Phu Waan, Thailand, to a later date due to the new coronavirus pandemic.
The association of episcopal conferences of the Catholic Church in the region noted that because of the "fluid situation" no future date has been fixed for the meeting.
A central committee meeting that has been scheduled for June this year "also stands postponed," read a letter addressed to members of the federation.
The FABC, which aims to foster solidarity and responsibility for the welfare of the Church and of society in the region, includes bishops' conferences from across Asia.
"Most of our countries in Asia are under lockdown," noted the federation's letter dated April 2. A copy of the letter was obtained by LiCAS.news on April 4.
"But we feel a greater sense of bonding during this dark moment in the history of the modern world," added the federation's message to its members across the region.
The communique was signed by Cardinal Charles Maung Bo of Yangon, president of FABC, and Cardinal Oswald Gracias of Bombay, convenor of the federation's meeting this year.
The church leaders said that "it is in moments like these that we experience a greater dependence of God and our faith is strengthened."
"We are confident that all of us will rise out of this crisis with a deeper sense of religiosity," read the letter.
Despite the constraints brought about by the health emergency across the Asian region, some FABC planning and regional meetings for the general assembly were already held.
"Much reflection and discussions have taken place," said the church leaders. "Although recently we have been unable to travel, we have been in contact through video conferencing," they added.
The church leaders noted that the "situation is volatile, and we do not know what the morrow will bring."
They expressed optimism, however, that "we may be able to project" future activities "when things could limp back to normal."
The federation marks the 50th anniversary of its foundation this year.
During his visit to Thailand in November, Pope Francis noted that the anniversary "is a fitting occasion" to revisit "shrines where the missionary roots that left their mark on these lands are preserved."
The pontiff called on Asian church leaders "to welcome with parrhesia a future that you yourselves must help develop and create."
"Both the Church and society in Asia will benefit from a renewed and shared evangelical outreach," added Pope Francis.
The foundation of the FABC was held during a historic gathering of 180 Asian Catholic bishops during a meeting in Manila in time for the visit of Pope Paul VI to the region in November 1970.
The governing body of the federation is the plenary or general assembly, which convenes once in four years with the presidents and official delegates from each member conference.
Official delegates to the assembly take up pastorally relevant questions for study and deliberations. It is customary that two Asian theologians each present a major paper addressing the theme of the assembly.
The FABC has played a significant role among churches in Asia.
It strengthened the bonds of communion among the bishops in the region and contributed to the development of a shared vision about the Church and its mission in the region.

Metal Enterprises war ein deutsches Metal- und späteres Rechtsrock-Label, (zeitweise) vertrieben von Bellaphon.

Labelgeschichte
Das Label wurde 1982 als Heavy-Metal- und Hard-Rock-Label gegründet und von Ingo Nowotny betrieben. Zu den bekanntesten Veröffentlichungen zählen die Platten Onkelz wie wir … (1987), Kneipenterroristen (1988), Lügenmarsch (1989) und Es ist soweit (1990) der Deutschrock-Gruppe Böhse Onkelz. Keines der Alben weist eindeutig dem rechtsextremen Spektrum zuzuordnende Tendenzen auf.

Erst gegen Ende der Vertragslaufzeit der Böhsen Onkelz wandte sich das Label vom Heavy-Metal- und Hard-Rock-Label dem Rechtsrock zu. Aus diesem Grund beendeten die Böhsen Onkelz ihre Zusammenarbeit mit Nowotny. Weiter brachte Metal Enterprises 1994 das Best-of-Album Könige für einen Tag heraus, das von der Band wegen NS-lastiger Covergestaltung erfolgreich gestoppt wurde. Nach der Entscheidung des Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt/Main vom 20. Dezember 1994 musste das Label den Sampler 6. Für Deutschland vom Markt nehmen, da Songs der Band SpringtOifel ohne deren Wissen und Zustimmung zusammen mit Songs mehrerer neofaschistischer Musikgruppen auf diesem Sampler veröffentlicht wurden, was einen Verstoß gegen das sogenannte Beeinträchtigungsverbot darstellt.

Bei den weiter bei Metal Enterprises verlegten Bands handelt es sich um Kahlkopf, Boots & Braces und Saccara.

1993 gründete Nowotny das Label Nowotny's Noize, auf dem mindestens zwei CDs (Kahlkopf – III und Boots and Braces – schön war die Zeit) veröffentlicht wurden.

Neben den politischen Kontroversen erlangte das Label gegen Ende der 1980er Jahre auch dadurch einen zweifelhaften Ruf, dass im labeleigenen Studio (mit Namen Tanit oder Woodland) neue Alben von bestenfalls unterdurchschnittlicher Qualität aufgenommen und unter den Namen zuvor unter Vertrag genommener, aber nicht mehr aktiver Bands veröffentlicht wurden. Diese Geschäftspolitik wurde mit dem Begriff Exploitation beschrieben.

Rolled down to a local cafe for a hearty breakfast, then across the street to check out OhioPyle Falls. Stunningly beautiful. I can see why so many outdoor enthusiasts gravitate to this little Pennsylvania town.
Spent the day pedaling the trail, first along the beautiful Youghiogheny, then Casselman, Rivers. Feeling strong and ripped off some serious miles this morning.
Near the little town of Garrett, was excited to spy a large wind turbine on the horizon through the trees.
Saw a few more turbines as I came to the town, so headed up a country road in search of the project. The hill was so steep I had to push the trike up part of it, but I was determined to get closer. Pedaled a few miles further and made a good guess on a side road which took me right smack into the middle of the project. Surrounding me were 30 megawatts of wind projects, all I believe developed by Florida Power & Light, including one sited on land reclaimed from a coal strip mine. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
Turning around to pedal back down the hill, I was met by a dozen or more turbines a few ridges away. Was graced by a regal-looking hawk alighting on a branch above me as I pedaled towards the project. I'm guessing it was the same one who flew close to me again near the same location on my way back.
About an hour before sunset, rolled into Meyersdale with 49 more miles behind me. Hadn't run into a single biker all day until one mile outside of Meyersdale, which was kind of nice. There were no campgrounds in town, but lucked out finding an affordable room. Best not to camp tonight anyway, with my core body temperature dropping so low. Riding in the low 40s is comfortable enough, but when you stop, soaked in sweat, your body really feels the cold. A hot shower quickly cured that.
Given the weather forecast for tomorrow (cold and rainy), think I may hole up here for Thanksgiving and spend some time reflecting on everything I'm thankful for in my life. I'm particularly grateful to have a roof over my head tonight. Poked my head out the door just before going to bed and saw the rain had turned to sleet. Definitely sticking around tomorrow.

Q: Can any two points in the plane be assigned continuously a path between them that is transversal to two circles? More formally, I'm interested in continous functions
$$\Gamma : \mathbb{R}^2\times \mathbb{R}^2 \to ([0,1] \to \mathbb{R}^2)$$
such that $\Gamma(p,q)(0)=p$ and $\Gamma(p,q)(1)=q$, with the additional condition that for every $(p,q)\in \mathbb{R}^2\times \mathbb{R}^2$, we have that $\Gamma(p,q) \pitchfork X$, where $X$ is two circles of radius 1 centered in $(-2,0)$ and $(2,0)$. For the transversality condition to make sense, we require that $\Gamma(p,q)$ is smooth.
It can be seen that when $X$ is just one circle, this can be done, by composing the path that takes $p$ to the origin, and then goes back to $q$. Sadly, the same trick can't be applied to the two circles, at least as far as I can see. I suspect there is no function that satisfies these requirements, but I have not been able to show this.
I'm interested in this as it's a special case of topological complexity, and may give a strictly greater upper bound.
Edit: I'm assuming the compact open topology on $[0,1] \to \mathbb{R}^2$.

A: It appears that no such map exists due to topological obstructions. Here's a rough sketch on one possible argument:
Let $C_-,C_+\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ be the left and right circles, and let $U=\mathbb{R}^2\setminus(C_+\cup C_-)$ be their compliment. Let $T\subset C^\infty([0,1],\mathbb{R}^2)$ denote the space of smooth paths in $\mathbb{R}^2$ transverse to $C_+\cup C_-$, with the compact open topology, and let $\widetilde{T}\subset T$ denote those whose endpoints do not lie in $C_+\cup C_-$. It suffices to show there is no continuous map $\Gamma:U\times U\to\widetilde{T}$ satisfying $\Gamma(p,q)(0)=p$, $\Gamma(p,q)(1)=q$. We can assume for the sake of contradiction that such a $\Gamma$ exists, and define some useful auxiliary functions:
Let $l:\widetilde{T}\to[0,1]$ be the "last intersection" function:
$$
l(\gamma)=\max\{t\in[0,1]:\gamma(t)\in C_+\cup C_-\}
$$
let $D_p:T\to\mathbb{R}$ be the miniumum Euclidean distance to $p\in\mathbb{R}^2$:
$$
D_p(\gamma)=\min\{d(p,\gamma(t)):t\in[0,1]\}
$$
and let $\theta_p:T_p\to\mathbb{R}$ be the winding number about $p\in\mathbb{R}^2$, where $T_p\subset T$ is the set of paths that do not pass through $p$:
$$
\theta_p(\gamma)=\int_0^1\frac{(\gamma_1(t)-p_1)\dot\gamma_2(t)-(\gamma_2(t)-p_2)\dot\gamma_1(t)}{\|\gamma(t)-p\|^2}
$$
Let $p_0=(-2,0)$ and $q_0=(0,0)$. Assume w.l.o.g. that the last intersection of $\Gamma(p_0,q_0)$ is with $C_-$.
Let $\alpha:[0,1]\to U\times U$ be a loop based at $(p_0,q_0)$ holding $p$ fixed and wrapping $q$ around $C_+$:
$$
\alpha(t)=\left(\binom{-2}{0},\binom{2-2\cos(2\pi t)}{-2\sin(2\pi t)}\right)
$$
Let $\varphi:[0,1]\to T$ be the rescaling of $\Gamma\circ\alpha$ to include only the segment between the last intersection and the endpoint. Note $\varphi(s)$ intersects the circles only at $\varphi(s)(0)\in C_-$
$$
\varphi(s)(t)=\Gamma(\alpha(s))((1-t)l(\Gamma(\alpha(s)))+t)
$$
Now, one needs to show the following:

*$D_p$, and $\theta_p$, $\varphi$, and $l\circ\Gamma$ are continuous on their domains.

*If $\varphi:[0,1]\to T$ is a continuous family of "good" curves and one $\varphi(s_0)$ lies strictly outside of $C_+$, then all $\varphi(t)$ lie strictly outside $C_+$ (equivalently for $C_-$) (this follows from continuity of $D_p$).

*$\theta_{(0,2)}\circ\varphi$ is well-defined and continuous.

*$\theta_{(0,2)}(\varphi(0))\neq\theta_{(0,2)}(\varphi(1))$, which is the desired contradiction.
