Paranormal investigators explore haunts of spooky Middleburg mobile home
By: RSS/News FeedsHungZai Team
The Paranormal Investigators of the First Coast investigate the occult, ranging from demonic entities to ghostly apparitions and everything in between, and one of the most haunted houses they've investigated was in Middleburg.
The haunted house isn't even a house – it's a trailer – but that didn't stop what PFC founder Misty Darnell believes to be one of the most intense demonic live-ins she's ever experienced. This case began like any other case for PFC. They received a call and Darnell went to check the place out before bringing her entire squad.
"When I got to the property, me and the other person I had with me felt it," Darnell said. "It felt very heavy. There was a get-out-of-my-space feeling we both had."
Darnell is what she calls a medium, which means she has a connection to the paranormal that allows her to feel, speak to and understand the other side. It all started when she was 10 years old. She grew up in northern Kentucky and around that age, she began to experience what she refers to as negativity. She brushed it off, not realizing that what she was hearing, seeing and feeling could be something paranormal.
The years passed by and she continued to feel these things. A mix of terror and fear of people believing her to be out of her mind kept her silent about what she was experiencing but around the age of 13, a friend at her house experienced the same thing.
"I'm not crazy," Darnell remembers thinking to herself.
Darnell continued to live with this secret until her 20s. After literally looking up ghostbusters in the phone book and trying to rid herself of whatever she was experiencing at the time, she began to research the paranormal. This led her to discover that she experienced what she had experienced because she was a medium.
It was during her 20s that she learned to hone this ability in and by her 30s, she was quite confident in her abilities. After moving to Florida, she soon after founded PFC, a nonprofit paranormal investigation group not after fame or money, but with the goal of helping others and providing resolution.
"I want to help those experiencing what I experienced all those years back," Darnell said. "I want them to understand what it is, if it's something at all, and what kind of steps we can take to reach a resolution. It's about helping those in need."
PFC is based in Jacksonville, an area Darnell says is lacking in paranormal help and research, but the nonprofit investigates things all over the First Coast. Houses in Arlington, trails in rural Florida, buildings in St. Augustine, the old Clay County Jailhouse and more make up some of PFC's adventures in its four-year life so far.
Despite the investigations under the belt of PFC, the Middleburg trailer, dubbed "The Evil One" on PFC's website, still had Darnell and her team spooked – something that doesn't happen often these days.
The Middleburg client contacted Darnell and said something negative was happening in the house.
"She thought there was a demonic entity trying to possess her fiancé and it was affecting everyone in the house, including their toddlers," Darnell said. "They felt oppressed, which for me is something I know to be the feeling right before possession."
Darnell said the client's baby's eyes were reported to have turned black, periodic sounds like scratching on the walls were frequent, and apparitions walking through the house happened quite often.
One of the client's friends was over at the house and thought somebody had broken into the house after seeing what appeared to be a shadowy man walk into the kitchen, open the refrigerator door, grab a drink and shut it.
"They couldn't find any evidence to show that somebody had possibly broken in," Darnell said.
After Darnell and a fellow investigator visited the house for a quick check, she knew almost immediately that something paranormal was happening at the house. She remembers the shadowy figure walking down the hallway to the left in the house that she and her fellow investigator saw upon entering the home. She returned with her team that night.
The team that night consisted of four investigators equipped with cameras, Electronic Voice Phenomenon readers, K2 Electromagnetic Field gadgets and more.
"There were crosses all over the walls and our K2 EMF meter was constantly going off over them," Darnell said. "One of our investigators determined that there weren't any electronics on the wall or within it, no stud or anything. So we knew it was something paranormal that our K2 meter was picking up on."
Darnell said not so long into the investigation, one of her team members was scratched. Needing a break to prepare for what the night was about to be, her team regrouped outside to form a plan for the night.
The scary thing about these investigations, Darnell said, is that a lot of what happens isn't discovered until after the fact. The team's EVP meters pick up on audible sounds like laughs and words that are said after Darnell or someone else asks questions to the other side.
"We don't hear those responses until after the fact," Darnell said.
On the PFC website under the evidence tab, you can listen to recordings of an audible laugh their EVP reader picked up that night as well as a paranormal "Kevin" reply to a question asked by Darnell.
Their reader picked up on little girls singing and asking to play, too. Darnell said a usual investigation lasts about seven hours but that she and her team wrapped this one up a few hours early after an extremely powerful show of force from the other side.
"In the main bedroom, we were doing an EVP session when all of a sudden, our tripod was lifted up and set back down," Darnell said. "Normally, I would not be threatened by this but that plus the scratching, the knocking, what we were seeing….I told my team we needed to wrap up. I didn't want anything to happen and if we had continued forward that night, some things would have probably escalated."
Darnell said while Hollywood and TV shows tend to dramatize paranormal experiences – it's more about small sounds and movements than it is about ghosts or demons slamming adults into walls – there are instances where a demon or something paranormal shows their hold on a house or person. The tripod being lifted off of the ground was one of them.
"Usually, we'd come up with a plan to cleanse the home but in this instance, we recommended that the family just move, and they did end up moving," Darnell said. "The client and I still talk to this day and she said once she moved out of that place, her life returned to normal."
Darnell got what she calls an attachment from that Middleburg experience. That's when something paranormal attaches itself to you. In this case, it was a very negative spirit. Darnell said another medium noticed the attachment immediately upon seeing her for the first time since the Middleburg investigation.
"The paranormal can cling to not just houses, but people and objects, too," Darnell said.
She's since had the attachment removed but the Middleburg house is still something she thinks about and from what she's heard, things are still happening at that house to this day.
"It was a property built in the 1970s and it has changed owners 10 times," Darnell said. "That's a lot for a house built in the 70s. The people that lived there never lived there for longer than about five years and it's since been turned into a rental property. We believe somebody that lived in the house at one point did something to invite the negativity into that home. It could have been something occult or even a Ouija board.
"We still don't know exactly what happened in that home."


This weekend weather was nothing short of spectacular. While I know it's early in Spring, it certainly feels like we are closer to Summer. I plan on soaking up the sun whatever chance I can this week before heading to the mid-West for some quality time with the future in-laws.

The venerable Stephen Cohen lays into Hillary, Obama and the NATO military build-up against Russia with RT's Ed Schultz (formerly of MSNBC).
The US and its NATO vassals continue to live in a fantasy land of Russian threats. But Barack Obama apparently can't decide if Russia is a threat or not.
In March 2014 Obama declared Russia a "regional power" which was threatening neighboring countries "out of weakness."
Yet now he says Russia has the "second most powerful military in the world."
Wow, Vladimir Putin has engineered a remarkable climb in Russia's strength in only 2 years.
On the eve of the Nevada primaries, a special presentation of the feature length documentary by Paul Jay reveals Las Vegas as a model of neoliberalism, a tale of the shape of things to come. It's all told through the eyes of a Canadian Blues Brothers act deciding whether they want to move their families to Vegas. It's two performers portraying two actors playing two fictitious characters in a town where everything is a replica of something else.
The US will launch a Minuteman-III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) from California to the Marshall Islands some time over the coming weekend.
An Air Force Global Strike Command unarmed Minuteman-III ICBM is scheduled for take-off between Saturday, Feb. 20 and Sunday, Feb. 21 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
After all the recent feigned outrage about North Korea launching a satellite into space the US will press on by practicing the delivery of a nuclear warhead in the direction of China and North Korea. There are now 3,600 satellites in space of which about 1,100 of them are still operational and guess who launched most of them? Where is the global concern?
The Pentagon has been using Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands as ground-zero for nuclear bomb and missile tests since the nuclear age began. How about some international outrage about the environmental damage the US has done to this chain of islands? How about some screaming and hollering in the corporate media about the provocative nature of these US first-strike ICBM tests?
The US reeks of hypocrisy. The US (and its chosen allies) can launch all the satellites they want and test all the ballistic missiles they want because - well of course - they are god's chosen people.
If you've just seen Michael Moore's movie and are wondering how in the world the United States got diverted into the slow lane to hell, go watch Noam Chomsky's movie. If you've just seen Noam Chomsky's movie and are wondering whether the human species is really worth saving, go see Michael Moore's movie. If you haven't seen either of these movies, please tell me that you haven't been watching presidential debates. As either of these movies would be glad to point out to you, that's NOT HOW YOU CHANGE ANYTHING.
"Filmed over four years, these are his last long-form documentary interviews," Chomsky's film, Requiem for the American Dream, says of him at the start, rather offensively. Why? He seems perfectly able to give interviews and apparently gave those in this film for four years. And of course he acquired the insights he conveys over many more years than that. They are not new insights to activists, but they would be like revelations from another world to a typical U.S. resident.
Chomsky explains how concentrated wealth creates concentrated power, which legislates further concentration of wealth, which then concentrates more power in a vicious cycle. He lists and elaborates on ten principles of the concentration of wealth and power -- principles that the wealthy of the United States have acted intensely on for 40 years or more.
Then the film shows us a clip of Chomsky saying the same thing decades earlier when he was still shown on U.S. television. He's been marginalized along with the rest of us.
I imagine every friendly critic of this film has a #11 to add, and that they are all different. In fact, I can think of lots of things to add, but I insist on mentioning one of them. It's the same one missing from Bernie Sanders' home movie starring Iowa and New Hampshire. Its the thing missing from all U.S. discourse but showing up in Michael Moore's movie as a great difference between the United States and Europe.
11. Dump Massive Funding into Militarism. Why should this be included? Well, militarism is the biggest public program in the United States. It's over half of federal discretionary spending. If you're going to claim that lobbyists are concentrating wealth through their influence on the government, why not notice the single budget item that eats up over half the budget? It does indeed concentrate wealth and also power. It's a vast pot of unaccountable funding for cronies. And it generates public interest in fighting foreign enemies rather than enemies hanging out on Wall Street. It does militarize the police for free, however, just in case Wall Street generates any disgruntled customers.
Chomsky does, of course, oppose militarism. As far as I know he's consistently opposed it for many years. We see B-roll of him in the movie with anti-war books in his office. And discussion of point #1 above mentions the peace movement of the 1960s. How the single biggest thing that the wealthy and powerful do in their effort to expand their power over the whole globe didn't make the top-10 list I don't know.

The American people don't understand what happens when you've been invaded by the biggest military on the planet and that you have to fight for every single square centimeter of your country in order to protect your land and your loved ones.
This picture was taken during the Vietnam war when the US ordered the bombing of neighboring Cambodia. In 1969, President Richard Nixon and his National Security Advisor, Henry Kissinger, unleashed B-52 carpet bombing for over fourteen months against a people who still tilled the soil with water buffalo. The 3,500 bombing sorties resulted in 600,000 deaths. The American bombing of Cambodia was a closely guarded secret primarily because the U.S. was not at war with Cambodia.
On Sept. 15, 1970 a victim of American bombing, ethnic Cambodian guerrilla Danh Son Huol, was carried to an improvised operating room in a mangrove swamp on the Ca Mau Peninsula. This scene was an actual medical situation, not a publicity setup. The photographer, however, considered the image unexceptional and never printed it.
Folks all over the world at this very moment are on the receiving end of US bombs - either dropped by Pentagon forces or their proxies. People are having to find ways to survive while back here in the good ole USA folks are distracted by sports, raucous presidential election debates, TV, and their daily struggles to keep food on the table.
In this episode of teleSUR's Days of Revolt, Chris Hedges and Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein diagnose the problems plaguing US politics, highlighting the dysfunction of a two-party system dominated by corporate interests.
The UK's Labour party leader, Jeremy Corbyn, is causing quote, 'a great deal of nervousness' among NATO officials, that's according to a former head of the alliance. Lord Robertson says concerns have been raised by Britain's allies over Corbyn's vocal opposition to Britain renewing it's nuclear weapons program - which NATO relies on for defense.
The Turkish army has shelled Kurdish targets near the city of Azaz in northwest Syria, including an air base recently retaken from Islamist rebels, with a massive attack. It also hit Syrian forces across the border, according to media reports.
My reading of this is that the Turkey-Saudi-US supported ISIS forces are getting slammed largely due to Russian intervention in Syria. Turkey-Saudi Arabia are now reportedly preparing to do a land invasion of Syria to save the reeling ISIS forces.
The US (as usual) is playing a confusing game of working both sides. The US supports ISIS because it wants Assad to fall in Syria and at the same time it sees Russia becoming successful and fears Washington will become irrelevant - so the US agrees to work with Russia on a ceasefire. Washington essentially is playing the role of a double agent.

Q: Understanding IOPS and IOPS Burst Ok so I am going through A Cloud Guru's course for the solutions architect associate and I am having trouble understanding what IOP burst are. Here are the notes from the course:

EBS Volume Types
   General Purpose SSD (GP2)
     General purpose, balances both price and performance.
     Ratio of 3 IOPS per GB with up to 10,000 IOPS and the ability to burst up
     to 3000 IOPS for extended periods of time for volumes under 1Gib.

After doing some research I understand IOPS to mean input/output operations. Meaning read and write to disk I assume. What I don't understand about this is, what does it mean to have 3IOPS per Gig. Does that mean for every gig of space on the drive you can read/write 3 times to the disk? That doesn't seem right. The other part I don't understand  is what does "the ability to burst" mean? My guess is that means how much can be read/written at once over the course of the read/write operation but I'm just guessing.

A: Actually, IOPS means Input/Output PER SECOND. When you choose your EBS Type it has a baseline IOPS value, meaning that the quantity of operations per second is limited by the volume architecture.
With 3000 IOPS/Gib you have 3000 operations of input/output per second, with the capacity to transfer 1Gib. There are some techinal details here that I'm no the best one to tell you about block sizes and all. But this is a summary.
One thing you must understand is that the IOPS is not just a techical thing but also a comercial thing for Amazon. They sell the EBS with a limited IOPS (baseline), but if you need more IOPS you can pay an extra and create volumes with Provisioned IOPS (that can fo up to 20000).
About the burst, what I tell here is not exactly how it works, but can help you understand a little more that you undersand now. Some volumes can upgrade your IOPS for a brief periodo of time in case is needed without extra costs. This is a temporary burst, an normally with works for just a few minutes. It means that if receive a request for data that extends your defined IOPS, the service will provide with more of your defined for a brief period, to keep your service quality consistent. But if you need it for a long period will need to pay for it.
I think that this burst is based on some type of credits, like if you don't use your availabe IOPS for a time it generate some credits to be used in burst. But this last information must be confirmed with more experienced people.

Adderall overdose is of serious concern as it can lead to death, or at the very least severe health complications. Adderall affects the balance of brain chemicals, neurotransmitters (dopamine and norepinephrine) in an attempt to correct an imbalance of ADHD or narcolepsy. As a stimulant it also speeds up several of the body's natural processes including heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. When you exceed the Adderall overdose amount you are taking a risk with your heart and other body processes as they are pushed to the limits.
Depending on the amount of Adderall that is consumed, the Adderall overdose symptoms may appear quite different. For a massive overdose the symptoms may include seizures or coma. The more common overdose symptoms, which may also just be side effects if you have taken the prescribed dosage include: abdominal pain, sudden violence, rapid changes in blood pressure, confusion, severe diarrhea, hallucinations, high fever, irregular heartbeat, nausea, panic attacks, rapid breathing, restlessness, and prolonged vomiting.
The most worrying Adderall overdose symptoms affect the heart by increasing the heart rate which can lead to heart attacks and/or strokes. The increased heart rate will also increase your blood pressure and add stress to the kidneys that may lead to kidney failure. High blood pressure also increases the chances of bleeds in the brain, which causes strokes, comas, permanent brain damage and even death.
While every person responds differently to their dosage of Adderall it is important to keep in mind the Adderall overdose amount that is determined for prescription and by the FDA. Doctors are cautioned to prescribe up to 60 mg of Adderall per day to keep their patients well below the Adderall overdose amount of 120 mg. This is the official amount, per day, that the FDA has deemed as the upper dosage. Therefore anything above this amount is officially an Adderall overdose. With that in mind everybody's body reacts differently to different stimulants and what could be safe for most people could be a multiple overdose for others. The best way to avoid any of the Adderall overdose symptoms is to not exceed the prescription amount or timeframe as described and prescribed by your physician. If the dosage that you are taking doesn't seem to be working or you aren't experiencing the focus as promised, discuss this with your doctor and do not just increase your own dosage.

The Great Clock Robbery
The Museum for Islamic Art
On a Sunday morning, April 17th, 1983, the staff of the Museum of Islamic Art were astonished when they discovered that 106 rare clocks, from the Sir David Salomons collection, worth tens of millions of dollars, including the unique Marie Antoinette clock, had disappeared into thin air. The rare clock collection of the British Jewish banker, was known the world over, and was considered one of the three rarest collections of clocks. His daughter, Vera Bryce Salomons, was the one who decided to display the collection in the museum she founded in Jerusalem, in memory of her father.
The unique collection contained clocks from the 18th and 19th centuries, including 200 spectacular and sophisticated clocks: simple clocks that are works of art, in both mechanical and aesthetic terms, clocks with automatic winding mechanisms (which were an innovation at the time), pendulum clocks and grandfather clocks, scientific measuring instruments, music boxes and painted enamel boxes with tiny mechanisms. These rare clocks were treated with great care and professionalism by Ohannes Yeghia Markarian, an expert watchmaker and a resident of the Armenian Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem, who treated the clocks as if they were his children.
The Israeli Police was contacted immediately, to help recover the rare treasure. The supposition was that a skilled team of burglars was behind the theft, but even 20 years later there will still no thread that led to them.
The Telephone Call That Led to a Solution to the Mystery
One day in August 2006 a Tel Aviv arts dealer went to the Museum for Islamic Art and related that he had seen part of the stolen clock collection. A short while later an anonymous lawyer called the museum offices with a similar story. She said that a client of hers, who refused to give her name, had inherited clocks from her recently deceased husband. She invited the museum managers to see them. Following brief negotiations, 39 items from the clock collection, including the Marie Antoinette clock, were returned to the museum.
A thorough investigation by the Israeli Police revealed that Naaman Diller (Lidor), a daring and sophisticated burglar, who gained notoriety in the 1960s and 1970s, managed to bypass all the museum's security mechanisms, and steal the clocks. He carried out the heist single-handedly, and he kept the clocks in various safes in the United States, Europe and even in Ramla. A few days before he died of cancer, in 2004, Diller told his wife that he was the one who carried out the clock theft at the museum and that he was leaving the booty to her. Two years later the widow tried to anonymously sell the valuable clocks in her possession. She contacted her lawyer, and the lawyer called a Tel Aviv watchmaker to valuate the clocks. When the watchmaker realized he was dealing with the clocks stolen from the Sir David Salomons collection he contacted the museum management, and this led the way to the solution to the mystery.
The museum stuff, under the leadership of watchmaker Boris Sankov, worked on restoring the clocks, some of which had been dismantled, and damaged. Sankov used the detailed documentation of the clocks and helped to restore the Salomons collection to as close as possible to its original state. In July 2009 the display of the Sir David Salomons clock collection was reopened to the general public.

they are necessary and not just to make things more comfortable, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan told journalists ahead of his budget address on Wednesday.
His comments came a day before energy regulator Nersa announces possible electricity price increases through a tariff hike to fund Eskom's shortfalls.
In the Budget Review, Treasury said "further efficiency improvements are necessary at Eskom to ensure moderation in future tariff increases".
On top of this, it was revealed in the budget review that Gordhan "delayed the transfer of R5bn until Eskom complies with several conditions attached to the equity allocation".
"These conditions relate to implementing cost reductions, improving maintenance and executing the capital expenditure programme," the review says.
Asked about the delay, Gordhan told media ahead of his budget that he had approved R3bn of the R5bn, and the money should have been transferred by now. "They will wait until the end of March for the R2bn," he added.
This comes after a press release by Treasury on Wednesday, in which it noted with concern reports in the Sunday Times that Treasury is targeting Eskom for an investigation into its coal contracts.
"The report was malicious and mischievous, based on unnamed and faceless sources purporting to be close to the National Treasury," Treasury said.
It confirmed reports by Eskom that Treasury's investigation had started in June 2015 and therefore did not commence under Gordhan's watch.
Treasury said in its budget that R15bn of government's R23bn appropriation to Eskom had been transferred to the company. "Government has also converted its R60bn subordinated loan to equity to strengthen the utility's balance sheet," it said.
In November, Eskom submitted an application to Nersa to recover R22.8bn which the utility used to avert load shedding.
Nersa will evaluate the "regulatory clearing account" (RCA) balance for the first year (2013/14 period) of the third multi-year price determination (MYPD3) amounting to R22.8bn.
All cities in South Africa will face an electricity tariff increase of at least 16% in July if Eskom is granted a R22.8bn adjustment for the 2013/2014 financial year, according to Leslie Rencontre, director of electricity at the City of Cape Town.
Treasury on Wednesday warned about the effect the increase in food inflation and Eskom's likely tariff hikes could have on consumers. "If these result in higher consumer price index inflation over the coming year, there will be upward pressure on inflation-linked expenditure, including compensation, social grants and free basic services," it said.
Treasury explained why government provides support in the form of guarantees to Eskom. "In the event that Eskom is unable to purchase power as stipulated, government must buy the power on Eskom's behalf," it said.
Power-purchase agreements between Eskom and independent power producers providing renewable energy are now categorised as contingent liabilities, Treasury said in its budget.

[A wicked coven of harpies have overtaken our village.
It was the twisting of the forest that forced us out of our village, but now that the harpies have moved in I fear that we may never be able to return.
The Wormtalon coven are led by a witch called Grelda the Crone. She has made her nest in a cave near our village.

Prof.dr.sc don Josip Čorić (Žeževica, 31. ožujka 1941.  4. srpnja 2015.) hrvatski rimokatolički svećenik Splitsko-makarske nadbiskupije, sveučilišni profesor i publicist.

Umro je 4. srpnja 2015., a pogrebni obredi obavljeni su u ponedjeljak 6. srpnja u njegovoj rodnoj župi sv.Jurja u Žeževici. Sprovodnu misu predvodio je mons.dr.Marin Barišić nadbiskup i metropolit splitsko-makarski u zajedništvu s mons.Matom Uzinicem dubrovačkim biskupom i više svećenika.

Životopis

Rođen je kao treći od pet sinova Milana i Mare rođ. Krivić.

Formacija i obrazovanje

Sakramenti kršćanske inicijacije

Krstio ga je župnik Žeževice Gornje don Slavko Kadić u župnoj crkvi sv. Jurja na Orju 27. travnja 1941. U istoj crkvi isti svećenik podjeljuje mu prvu sv. pričest 23. travnja 1948. Svetu potvrdu podijelio mu je tadašnji splitski biskup dr. Kvirin Klement Bonefačić 16. svibnja 1948.

Osnovno i srednjoškolsko obrazovanje

Prva četiri razreda osnovne škole završava u četverogodišnjoj školi Žeževica - Orje. Peti razred (tada prvi gimnazije) završava u sjemenišnoj gimnaziji Split; 6. i 8. razred pohađa u novoj školi Varoš - Split. U splitskom sjemeništu završava I. godinu gimnazijskog školovanja, kada je prisiljen napustiti Split zbog sramotne presude ondašnjih sudskih vlasti koje su, na montiranom procesu, zatvorile i bogosloviju i sjemenište. Srednjoškolsko obrazovanje završava ispitom zrelosti u lipnju 1959. godine.

Visoko obrazovanje

Odmah po završetku srednje škole upisuje se na Rimokatolički bogoslovni fakultet u Zagrebu, na kome diplomira 16. lipnja 1967. godine.

Vojni rok

Budući SFRJ nije dozvoljavala civilno služenje vojnog roka, koji je bio obavezan, studiranje mu je bilo prekinuto od 1962. do 1964. dvogodišnjim služenjem vojne obveze u Kičevu u Makedoniji. Vojni rok inače je trajao godinu dana, osim za osobe koje iz vjerskih razloga odbiju držati oružje, koje su vojni rok služile 24 mjeseca.

Ređenje

Subđakonat prima na blagdan svetog Josipa 1966. u zagrebačkoj prvostolnici po rukama pomoćnog zagrebačkog biskupa dr. Josipa Lacha, a đakonat tjedan dana kasnije, 26. ožujka 1966. po rukama zagrebačkog metropolita dra Franje Šepera. Svećeničko mu ređenje podjeluje splitsko-makarski biskup dr. Frane Franić 29. lipnja 1966. u crkvi Gospe od zdravlja u Splitu. Mladu misu služi 17. srpnja 1966. u Žeževici na brežuljku Orje, uz župnu crkvu sv. Jurja.

Poslijediplomski studiji

Nakon desetogodišnjeg župnikovanja u rujnu 1977. splitsko-makarski nadbiskup msgr. Frane Franić šalje ga na poslijediplomski studij lateranskog sveučilišta u Rimu, gdje je magistrirao 1979. god. Doktorirao je 1983. obranivši disertaciju pod naslovom "L' Apostolato laicale in Croazia dal 1945 al 1971". Izvadak iz doktorske radnje je objavio iste godine. Na lateranskom sveučilištu pohađa dva semestra na novootvorenom institutu "Pontificium Institutum Joannes Paulus II - De Matrimonio et Familia" - položivši odgovarajuće ispite.

Službe

Od 1966. do 1969. obnašao je službu upravitelja župe Medov dolac - Dobrinče, a zatim od 1969. do 1977. službu upravitelja novoosnovane župe Kraljice mira u Makarskoj i ekskursora Makra i Kotišine. Tijekom poslijediplomskog studija i poslije njega često gostuje pomažući u pastoralu hrvatskoj dijaspori diljem svijeta osluškujući njihove tjeskobe.

Whether we like it or not, working is a fact of life for most of us. As the saying goes, "A happy employee is a productive employee." And more productivity leads to higher profits. So we asked Millennials, Generation Xers and Baby Boomers around the world to think about their jobs and tell us how satisfied they are with everything from compensation and workplace comradery to job loyalty. Across a sample of respondents from 60 countries who said they are currently employed, satisfaction levels highlight workplace trends worth paying attention to.
In this fourth of a five-part series about the differences between how generations live, eat, play and save, we focus on how consumers work.
Among 10 job-satisfaction factors, more than half of global Millennials, Generation X and Baby Boomer respondents are satisfied with their occupations, work environment, co-workers, work/life balance and boss—and sentiment mostly increases with age. On the flip side, and perhaps not surprisingly, less than half are satisfied with income and other medical, retirement and savings-plan benefits—and sentiment largely declines with age.
How can employers help create a better balance between work and compensation perceptions? A little praise can go a long way. And rewards and compensation do not always need to be monetary. Creating a workplace environment of mutual respect and recognition helps employees feel valued.
Is Job Loyalty A Thing Of The Past?
The days of employees spending their entire career with one employer are likely over. That sentiment rings especially true with younger respondents, as Millennials are roughly two times more likely to leave a job after two years, 1.5 times more likely after five years, and half as likely to stay after 10 years , compared with Gen X and Baby Boomer respondents.
From recruitment and job training costs, employee loyalty is vital for successful business operations. Build a sense of job ownership with employees by making them an integral part of team decisions. Diverse thinking and attitudes leads to better—and usually more creative–ideas.


28/11/2011�� I locked my keys in the trunk of my '07 optima and was told I had to pay $120 for a new key to be made in order to get in, as this model does not come with a release lever to lay down the back seats for trunk �... The 2016 Kia Optima offers a nifty feature that unlocks the trunk for you simply by walking up to it with the key in your pocket.
The dealer will be able to make a new key for any Kia model including Rio, Soul, Forte, Sportage, Optima, etc. Locksmith The locksmith will be able to cut you a new key for most older Kia models but not for the new model Kia's that have a built-in chip in the key which requires programming.... Kia�s Smart Key Feature makes it easy to lock/unlock and even start your vehicle all without even having to touch your key fob. Many of Kia�s models include available Smart Key feature including many 2017 models like the K900 , Cadenza , and Optima .
Find great deals on eBay for trunk latch kia. Shop with confidence. how to say continuing for number I didn't get a remote key with my 2016 Kia Soul when I bought it so I have to use the actual key to lock and unlock my doors. No big deal, but when my doors are locked my trunk is locked so I have to walk to the front of my car to unlock the door before walking back to the trunk to open it.
With standard key vehicles, you can turn the key to the accessory mode and utilize the electronic accessories without starting the vehicle. This is still possible with Smart Key-equipped vehicles.
The Kia Optima comes equipped with a keyless remote system. The keyless remotes are provided by the dealership at the time of purchase. Vehicle owners can unlock the vehicle doors by pressing the lock or unlock buttons located on the key fob.
You can't use a slim jim. You need to pry the top of the window door frame to allow a long rod to slip through the gap. I use a welding rod with a small bend at the end to fli � ck the manual lock lever.

In Memoriam: Milton Friedman
Posted by erweinstein on November 19, 2006
Milton Friedman, internationally-renowned advocate for personal and economic freedom, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences in 1976, and Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Chicago died in the morning of Thursday, November 16.
Thursday was a sombre day for many of us here at the University of Chicago. The University flags were lowered to half-mast, and professors in the Department of Economics and the Graduate School of Business were frequently recognizable by their downcast stares and more formal comportment and attire. Kevin Murphy (winner of the John Bates Clark Medal in 1997 as well as a MacArthur "genius grant" last year) who famously wears a baseball cap and sneakers every day, changed to a black cap and nicer shoes. According to his students, Gary Becker (Nobel Laureate 1992) who was a doctoral student of Friedman's, was particularly distraught. Becker reflects on Friedman's intellectual contributions here on his blog.
A panel discussion to commemorate Friedman's achievements, featuring Becker, Robert Lucas, Sam Peltzman, and Eugene Fama, was held in the afternoon of Friday, November 17. Video of the discussion is now available.
Here are news stories about Friedman's death from Reuters, The Economist, and the Chicago Maroon.
Economists Austan Goolsbee, Brad DeLong, Thomas Sowell, and Greg Mankiw have written excellent essays about Friedman. Milton's son David Friedman wrote this poem on his father's death.
Milton Friedman's substantial contributions to economics and economic policy are adequately covered by the above links. It is illustrative that his developments in the areas of consumer theory, statistics, and monetary theory and history are widely used and taught today, with some updates to account for more data and more sophisticated mathematical techniques. However, I believe it worthwhile to highlight Friedman's thoughts on the nature of classical liberalism. Before I even picked up his book Capitalism and Freedom, I realized that my views on politics and society were closer to Friedman's than to any other contemporary public intellectual. The following passage from that book demonstrates Friedman's deep understanding of classical liberalism and his dedication to human freedom:
As it developed in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the intellectual movement that went under the name liberalism emphasized freedom as the ultimate goal and the individual as the ultimate entity in the society. It supported laissez faire at home as a means of reducing the role of the state in economic affairs and thereby enlarging the role of the individual; it supported free trade abroad as a means of linking the nations together peacefully and democratically. In political matters, it supported the development of representative government and of parliamentary institutions, reduction in the arbitrary power of the state, and protection of the civil freedoms of individuals.
Beginning in the late nineteenth century, and especially after 1930 in the United States, the term liberalism came to be associated with a very different emphasis, particularly in economic policy. It came to be associated with a readiness to rely primarily on the state rather than on private voluntary arrangements to achieve objectives regarded as desirable. The catchwords became welfare and equality rather than freedom. The nineteenth century liberal regarded an extension of freedom as the most effective way to promote welfare and equality; the twentieth century liberal regards welfare and equality as either prerequisites of or alternatives to freedom. In the name of welfare and equality, the twentieth-century liberal has come to favor a revival of the very policies of state intervention and paternalism against which classical liberalism fought. In the very act of turning the clock back to seventeenth-century mercantalism, he is fond of castigating true liberals as reactionary!
The change in the meaning attached to the term liberalism is more striking in economic matters than in political. The twentieth-century liberal, like the nineteenth-century liberal, favors parliamentary institutions, representative government, civil rights, and so on. Yet even in political matters, there is a notable difference. Jealous of liberty, and hence fearful of centralized power, whether in governmental or private hands, the nineteenth-century liberal favored political decentralization. Committed to action and confident of the beneficence of power so long as it is in the hands of a government ostensibly controlled by the electorate, the twentieth-century liberal favors centralized government. He will resolve any doubt about where power should be located in favor of the state instead of the city, of the federal government instead of the state, and of a world organization instead of a national government.
Because of the corruption of the term liberalism, the views that formerly went under that name are now often labeled conservatism. But this is not a satisfactory alternative. The nineteenth-century liberal was a radical, both in the etymological sense of going to the root of the matter, and in the political sense of favoring major changes in social institutions. So too must be his modern heir. We do not wish to conserve the state interventions that have interfered so greatly with our freedom, though, of course, we do wish to conserve those that have promoted it. Moreover, in practice, the term conservatism has come to cover so wide a range of views, and views so incompatible with one another, that we shall no doubt see the growth of hyphenated designations, such as libertarian-conservative and aristocratic-conservative.
Partly because of my reluctance to surrender the term to proponents of measures that would destroy liberty, partly because I cannot find a better alternative, I shall resolve these difficulties by using the world liberalism in its original sense—as the doctrines pertaining to a free man.
Written almost forty-five years ago, these words have yet to be equaled as a constructive and comparative explanation of classical liberalism (although Hayek's "Why I Am Not a Conservative", the postscript to The Constitution of Liberty, is also quite insightful—Hayek focuses more on the contrasts between classical liberals and conservatives, but his prose is more difficult by today's standards).
The death of Milton Friedman diminishes the community of economists, political thinkers, and classical liberals. We may take some comfort from the fact that his work will undeniably live on.
UPDATE: A memorial service for Milton Friedman was held in Rockefeller Chapel at the University of Chicago on Monday, January 29.

One Response to "In Memoriam: Milton Friedman"
Richard Walters said
What I have read on this post makes me glad that I am a high school dropout!
Far be it for me to rain on the parade at the funeral of Milton Friedman, but I am provoked to respond to some of the comments that have been made on this post!
I am constantly amazed at the lack of perception that so called liberals have with regard to the real world! It seems that there is a tendency by so called liberal intellectuals to obscure what is glaringly starring them in the face!
It seems so obvious that it should not have to be spelled out to those that regard themselves as intellectuals! But anyway here goes.
The world and the system and systems that we are all a part of has a life of it's own! It does not really matter what you believe in. The conditions of our surroundings will dictate to us as to what at a particular point in time is the best way to go! Where you happen to be within the system at a particular point in time will be the determining factor that will decide the best course of action for you to take, and what you should believe in to further your particular interest or your class interest
Freedom of the individual can only exist under certain conditions! It would be impossible for a class society to experience individual freedom under the conditions of competition and scarcity!
Anyway our life style in America is to prove ourselves better than everyone else by accumulating for ourselves more private property than our neighbors, so that we can flaunt it and show everyone that we are not equal but richer and better! …Some people call that democracy???

I've been catching up with orders this week.
Also some needle felt spots for a customer.
Every time I pop over Claire I am amazed by the wonderful array of colours on display.
Gorgeous fabric Claire, and I love the needle felted spots, love the colours in them.


A shot near my house of snow accumulations on the edge of the forest.
Fabulous lines and shapes of the heavy snow.
And I'm about to freeze with temps in the 50's. I definitely would freeze around there. great shot.
A lot more snow than we have.
Lovely fresh light snow - gorgeous on those branches.
That is a lot of snow! Good luck getting through this next round of freezing weather.

Harmonisation of the Unique Product Identifier (UPI) - guidance issued by CPMI-IOSCO
A new report provides technical guidance to authorities on a uniform global Unique Product Identifier (UPI) applying to over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives transactions. The report, entitled Harmonisation of the Unique Product Identifier, is a joint publication by the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI) and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).
The role of the UPI is to uniquely identify each OTC derivative product involved in a transaction that an authority requires, or may in future require, to be reported to a trade repository consistent with the commitment of the G20 Leaders to a more transparent OTC derivatives market. Global uniform UPIs facilitate the consistent global aggregation and analysis of OTC derivatives transaction data reported across trade repositories that authorities can use to meet their legal obligations and prudential requirements.
The report envisions a UPI system in which a unique UPI code would be assigned to each distinct OTC derivative product, with each UPI code mapping to a set of data comprised of reference data elements with specific values that together describe the OTC derivative product. The collection of reference data elements and their values for each OTC derivative product would reside in a corresponding UPI reference data library.
The guidance is global in scale, takes account of relevant international technical standards where available and is jurisdiction-agnostic. It covers the following areas:
the technical principles applicable to the UPI;
the UPI reference data elements required for each OTC derivative asset class;
the identification of underlying assets and benchmarks of OTC derivative products (underliers); and
the UPI code structure.
This guidance does not address the governance arrangements or the implementation of the UPI, which are matters the FSB will soon consult on.
This guidance is complementary to the Technical Guidance on Harmonisation of the UTI published in February 2017. The CPMI and IOSCO intend to also produce guidance on harmonisation of other critical OTC derivatives data elements in the coming months.
Aggregation of the data reported across trade repositories can help provide authorities with a comprehensive view of the OTC derivatives market and activity and help improve transparency, mitigate systemic risk and protect against market abuse. The 2012 CPSS-IOSCO report on OTC derivatives data reporting and aggregation requirements,1 the 2013 CPSS-IOSCO report on Authorities' access to trade repository data2 and the 2014 FSB Feasibility study on approaches to aggregate OTC derivatives data3 served as the starting point for the harmonisation work on key OTC derivatives data elements for meaningful aggregation on a global basis.
The Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) changed its name to the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI) on 1 September 2014. The CPMI promotes the safety and efficiency of payment, clearing, settlement and related arrangements, thereby supporting financial stability and the wider economy. The CPMI secretariat is hosted by the BIS. More information about the CPMI, and all its publications, can be found on the BIS website.
IOSCO is the leading international policy forum for securities regulators and is recognised as the global standard setter for securities regulation. The organisation's membership regulates more than 95% of the world's securities markets in more than 115 jurisdictions.
Both committees (CPMI and IOSCO) are recognised as international standard-setting bodies by the Financial Stability Board.

FOSP note: the following letter appeared in the Campbell River Courier-Islander on Oct 7, 2009.
An open letter to Premier Gordon Campbell, published here by request.
'Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got till it's gone,' is how the song goes. But we know what we have. The public set aside Strathcona Park for protection 98 years ago, and as the largest park and only significant area of protected wilderness on Vancouver Island, it has come to have a strong conservation role. Why then is the government attempting to commercialize Strathcona?
Private, for profit, horse operations in Strathcona Park are not only wrong because horses don't belong in parks, especially Strathcona, with it's thin soils, steep valleys and heavy rainfall, a refuge for bear, elk and cougar, but also because they are the thin end of the wedge. Where horse trails go, so can mountain bikes, motorcycles, ATV's, snow mobiles, poaching, erosion, introduction of weed species, etc.; and where one type of commercial operation is allowed, so may another be, and another. Thoreau said, "In wildness is the preservation of the world." As we pave paradise with whirlwind speed, we need more protection for parks and wilderness, not less. Please let the government show care for the future and reverse the decision to commercialize Strathcona.

A Mayer man was killed late Tuesday afternoon when his motorcycle collided head-on with a semi on Highway 7 near Vale Avenue in Acoma Township near Hutchinson. The accident was reported at about 5:15 p.m.
According to the Minnesota State Patrol, Justin John Nowak, 26, of Mayer, was westbound on Highway 7 on a 2003 Kawasaki motorcycle when he crossed the centerline and struck an eastbound 2106 Freightliner driven by Daniel Dan McBride, 55, of Watertown, South Dakota.


Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have A Dream" speech on this date in 1963.
August 28 is a date that will forever be important for Black Americans.
The day marks some extreme highs and lows in Black history: a major political win; the death of a young boy whose name has been etched into the hearts of African-Americans; and one of the most iconic moments in the civil rights movement. Ava DuVernay produced a film, "August 28th" that was shown at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in 2016. Here's are some snapshots of the seminal stories that give significance to this date.
The Slavery Abolition Act was approved by Parliament on this day in 1833. The act abolished slavery in most British colonies, and freed more than 800,000 enslaved Africans in the Caribbean and South Africa, as well as a small number in Canada.
Till, a 14-year-old boy from Chicago, was abducted by two white men and brutally murdered while visiting family in Mississippi in 1955. The young man's life was taken by the husband of Carolyn Bryant, a white woman who said the teen made advances toward her in a grocery store. Years later, in 2017, Bryant admitted to lying in her testimony about Till.
Hurricane Katrina made landfall, destroying homes and upending the lives of many of the New Orleans' Black residents.
Obama gave his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado on this date in 2008. "This moment, this moment, this election is our chance to keep, in the 21st century, the American promise alive," Obama said.
This year's date could also mark another historic moment if Andrew Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, Florida who is running for governor in the state, wins the Democratic primary. Gillum could become the first African-American to be governor in that state in November.
Were he still alive today, Dr. King WOULD NOT BE PLEASED with the state of things in Amerykah.
We all know that whenever HISTORY repeats itself–IT IS NEVER GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Q: Is communication via web services standardized among JavaScript on different browsers? I'm new to JavaScript and want my JavaScript code to communicate with some server using JSON.
Imagine I write a piece of code in pure JavaScript (no frameworks), which sends a request and receives a response. If this code works in Chrome, can I assume that it will also work in other major browsers?
In other words: Is it necessary to use an abstraction layer (similar to jQuery for UI) for communication via web services?

A: No it is not necessary to use any library like Jquery for communication.These libraries help you to write code easily.You can simply make XMLHttpRequest get data from the webservices
Jquery code
$.ajax(someurl, {
  success: function(data) {
    console.log('success')
  },
  error: function() {
    console.log('error')
  }
});

Javascript code
var xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open("GET","someurl",true);

xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState === 4) {
    if (xmlhttp.status === 200) {
      console.log(xmlhttp.responseText)
    } else {
       console.log("Error", xmlhttp.statusText);
    }
  }
};
xmlhttp.send();

A:
If this code works in Chrome, can I assume that it will also work in other major browsers

assuming you will be creating a httpRequest object and the appropriate fallback for what ever browsers you are using, then you can presume that it will work across browsers, providing the appropriate fallback for the httpRequest object are in place. check this out for a snippet of a cross browser request object, you'll see why people might use a lib (ie6 support if you must)

Is it necessary to use an abstraction layer (similar to jQuery for UI) for communication via web services

Depends, using jquery's $.ajax method can save you some time but isnt required. however, if you are supporting a lot of legacy browsers then it might make sense to use a lib that has already done all the inconsistency work for you.
You certinly dont need anything as big as jquery though, check out reqwest and there is also micro.js1 which is a tool to select micro libs based on your needs (rather then a huge lib like jquery when you only want some of it's functionality.
N.B. if you are going to hit any cross browser issues, its more likly to be what you do with the web service response and how you handle/validate the data rathe then the request itself. read up on guard clauses and a js guard clause article here

A: Yes, depending on the browser and the browser version.
Most browsers have the XMLHttpRequest object which is used to make ajax requests to a web resource.
However, older versions of Internet Explorer do not have the XMLHttpRequest object. Older IE versions use, the IE only, ActiveXObject and pass in either "Msxml2.XMLHTTP" or "Microsoft.XMLHTTP" into the constructor, again depending on the version of IE.
Then some browsers that do have the XMLHttpRequest object have it at level 1 and some at level 2 which makes the methods of downloading binary blob data different.
So I guess it really depends on which browsers you are targeting and what kinds of data you want to exchange.
If you are making frequent Ajax requests I'd recommend a library. I use either jQuery or a lightweight library called Zepto.

A: I believe it would be better to use jQuery or some other framework for all of your calls as they tested, reliable & if you get any bugs you will have a big community working on it.

Grand Theft Cimino (Random impressions: Thunderbolt and Lightfoot)
It used to be that if someone asked me to name the ultimate 'car film', Three Lane Blacktop would pop into my mind first. But not anymore.
There is not nearly the same level of car fetishism in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, but Cimino is definitely trying to say something with autos. The title characters are in seven different automobiles before credits roll, four of them they stole. And even though they are always moving, they don't seem like they get anywhere.
Even a plan is worked out by drawing on a car.
Parallels to the Western genre are no clearer then when the cars are "taken to water".
There are so many scenes where the cars are not on any road at all. It is really strange and yet, because of the scenery, oddly beautiful and familiar. Replace the car for a horse and we have a period-piece.
It feels like, in the hands of another, less sincere director, the off-road abundance would approach tacky; the connections with the Western would be heavy-handed. Instead it comes off subtle and grounded in a reality that masks it. It wasn't even affecting me on the first viewing.
Jeff Bridges brought such an energy to this performance, a playfulness and spirit that worked so well with the material. When an actor makes choices that so totally create an understanding in the viewer that the words are spilling right from the character's mind, it's magic.
The sorrow and pain that Lightfoot has is only revealed cryptically, and contrapuntally to Thunderbolt. Like in the scene where Lightfoot talks about how he started on the road, after meeting a woman on a train. "Now you can't stop" Thunderbolt interjects. Lightfoot looks at him. It's a full shot, but we can still see, through Bridges' look, not just an acknowledgment of that truth, but a sadness in it as well.
Maybe someone can help me understand the significance of Thunderbolt having the white convertible Cadillac in the end, which Lightfoot revealed is his goal in the beginning of the film. Did Cimino simply want him to die a "hero" in his dream car?
Once again, the FotMC is blessed with another interesting and rewarding selection that fell under my radar all these years. Looking forward to other discussions. Thanks Glenn.

Peter - great observations! Sincerity is a great way to describe Cimino's approach to Western themes, which take on a very personal meaning. As for the ending, I think Cimino wanted to show us a deep sadness in Thunderbolt's character. They finally attain the White Cadillac (i.e. freedom), but it means very little without the presence of Lightfoot. It's not the car that matters, but the friendship linked by memories of the car. Nostalgia and melancholy are inseparable.
Peter Rinaldi said...
but don't you think there is something a little odd (intentionally) about the last scene? Thunderbolt picks up Lightfoot, and the exchange, before he gets in the car, threw me off both times i watched it. I realized they were just "joking around", kind of acting like they didn't know each other or something. But it was just a little too odd to be just off-key, almost like something is trying to be conveyed. Am i just reading into it too much?
I don't think you're reading too much into it, but I didn't get the odd sensibility you did. I felt a deep sadness in the last sequence that makes the ending strange and compassionate.
Jordan in Texas said...
Sounds awesome. I've never seen the picture, but I do dig "car films".
My favorite probably being Vanishing Point, but I also have a really soft spot for a picture that's a little bit different, The Car.
Does Cronenberg's Crash count?
weepingsam said...
It's taken me all month to watch it, but yep - worth the wait... very nice film. I noticed (since I was looking for it) just how often they take the cars to water - it's where most of the "chapter" shifts in the film occur... including the end, if I'm not mistaken - they're crossing a bridge when what happens happens...
It has an interesting elliptical pacing - which I think gives it some of that melancholy tone - pausing on the scenery, those shots by the rivers, jumping from the middle of a conversation to another scene, but taking a while to put the scene in perspective - there are quite a few scenes where it takes a minute or two to get your bearings... though the film lets you reorient yourself - lets you live with scenes a bit, both to let you stay with the characters a bit, and to figure out where the story is going. Nice effect.
interesting. you're making me want to throw it on again. that pacing, i think, is something that Cimino cultivated into a distinct style.
Warfreak,
yeah, I think there are some people that would say Crash is the ultimate car fetish film.
Film of the Month
July: Hands Over the City
Film of the Month Club is an internet forum for watching and discussing movies. Each month a member will select a film, after which other members can watch and post their reflections and reactions. Selections will be driven by member interests and can range from the commercial to the experimental, from the signifcant to the forgotten. The idea behind this grab bag approach is to facilitate a conversation among all corners of the film blogosphere. And to watch more movies.

Over the last three decades empirical Translation Process Research (TPR) has been prolific in the generation of hypothesis and models, which were based mostly on insights drawn from from-scratch translation. More recently, TPR has also addressed - among other things - post-editing and spoken translation (sight translation, interpretation), and tried to come up with more comprehensive cognitive models of the translation process which are based on empirical data and include various dichotomies, such as comprehension/production, speaking/writing, human/computer assisted translation, etc.
MEMENTO is an international research project which boosts empirical TPR and organizes yearly international 'boot-camps' and workshops. The first MEMENTO workshop was conducted in November 2018 in Beijing.
