I have come up with a list for mommy's wanting to grab on to their style again if they haven't already. This list is primarily for Phoenix Metro area moms. I am speaking to a moms group and wanted to give some idea. The picture doesn't really have all of them but has some great examples.
1. A great skin care regimen is so important. As moms we get tired and think to just jump into bed. Take the time to care for yourself and your skin. You'll be glad you did later.
2. Concealer, tinted moisturizer, bronzer or blush, liner mascara and a lip gloss are great basics for moms to have in there make up bag.
3. Well fitting and supportive bra. Get fitted by a pro. Get at least one REALLY good bra and base the rest of what you try on by that one. We tend to let this go due to cost or not feeling it is essential. It is. Your clothes will fit better and like taking care of your skin you'll be glad you took care in this area too.
4. Have pretty undergarments. Something that makes you feel pretty and lets your hubby know you haven't forgotten what life was like before kids. Have black even if they are just basic cotton. And some lace. Ones that fit and are comfy no need to suffer.
5. Great fitting jeans. I can't tell you which style is best for you but find out. Take the time to try on different styles. You're body may not be the same since you've had kids and therefore your jeans not fit the same. It really is better to have 1-2 great fitting jeans at $50 or more a pop than a dresser full of ill fitting $20 jeans.
6. Wear cute tops. Yes, it is not easy when you have food and snot that may come at you at any moment. There are cute washable looks out there. If you are just going to buy a basic T-shirt, then for heavens sake get it in a great color.
7. Accessorize…. wait until baby is out of the "I'm gonna pull that dangling thing out of your ear, off our neck" phase. When baby is past that phase, pull out the earrings and necklaces again. If you don't have any get some. It will help pull together your jeans and T-shirt look.
8. Great layering piece. Sweater Coat, Denim Jacket, blazer, you pick. Pull out your personality on this.
9. Good bag that can go over the shoulder or across you. Nothing like trying to carry a dainty bag with your two year old throwing a tantrum.
10. Have a great Little Black Dress on hand. (or whatever color your drawn to). One that fits and you feel fantastic wearing. Don't wait until you "need" one. You'll just be frustrated and buy the wrong one. Have the shoes and right bag (no mommy purse) to go with it so when the need arises you are prepared.
Believe me there is more I could say on this topic but I'll wait for another day.

The level of security of such free VPNs is far from ideal.
Some free VPN providers store user data for the purpose of further selling it to advertisers (like ISPs do).
Slow server speed because they are overloaded with users.
Limited number of facilities (lack of kill switch, split tunneling and so on).
They can't unblock services and addons.
Nevertheless, there are still good free VPNs to use.
Numerous streaming services block VPNs: both free and paid. And nowadays, it is an uphill struggle to find a free VPN provider that would work with services like Netflix, Hulu, HBO.
Kodi is the way-out. Being an open source cross-platform media player, Kodi makes it possible to create your own library that would contain the best content. And there is no need to stream via blocked services.
Having installed some additional Kodi addons, you'll get access to the best services using only one application.
There is no need to open numerous sites and apps, create usernames and passwords, pay for subscription. Kodi will do it instead of you (except payment for sure).
Do I need VPN for Kodi?
Kodi gained its popularity thanks to free access to streaming movies, music and so on. This access is not always legal.
For example, Kodi is considered to be unlawful in the UK according to the "Copyright, Design and Patent Act" (1988).
If a Kodi addon is blocked in your country, you need a VPN.
The best free VPN for Kodi unblocks restricted for your region addons and gets access to sites you like.
Unfortunately, we are not well-informed in the sphere of legislation. As a result, sometimes Kodi users stream pirated content without knowing it.
In order not to be punished for such activity, it's better to subscribe for a free VPN service. It will help to conceal your IP address. So, you won't be subjected to illegal activity via your Kodi account.
To cut a long story short, the combination of Kodi and a VPN is fantastic.
How to find the best free VPN for Kodi?
3 best Kodi VPN services are tested and described below. Don't miss your chance to find out more about top VPN services for Kodi.
Tunnel Bear VPN is a free VPN service with the headquarters in Canada. Tunnel Bear is great for Kodi, as it is compatible with various operating systems: Android, iOS, Mac and Windows.
What is more beneficial for Kodi streamers, is that this free VPN reduces the speed insignificantly. Having chosen the remotest server, the upload speed decreases by 25% only. It means that you may stream without significant buffers and lags.
Thanks to AES 256-bit ciphering via IPsec/IKEv2 tunneling protocol, it will be 99% impossible to trace you. So you'll be secure while streaming Kodi with a free TunnelBear VPN.
Don't miss the best part!
TunnelBear VPN for Kodi doesn't keep logs! While many other free VPNs do.
VPN Gate is one of the relatively new and developing free VPN services.
Having appeared as a Japanese project in the year of 2013, it became an ideal Kodi VPN. Thanks to unlimited bandwidth the VPN provider supplies its clients with, Kodi streaming becomes a real entertainment for the whole family.
Server location diversity allows bypassing any possible restrictions and gives the access to all Kodi addons.
Do you know why CyberGhost VPN is great for Kodi?
The service offers 50 server locations all over the world.
automatic shutdown every 3 hours.
However, such limitations aren't significant for the successful Kodi functioning.
Nowadays, people use free VPNs to both become protected on the net and access entertaining sites and services.
Having become one of 38 million Kodi consumers, you'll definitely want to experience the best streaming via various Kodi addons.
But how to unblock them?
Subscribe for the best VPN for Kodi and be convinced you're using the most complete and diverse service.


The council aims to encourage more employees to breastfeed for longer by providing appropriate workplace breastfeeding facilities and access to flexible working arrangements to support them when they return to work from maternity leave.
The commitment to providing a framework that will change the current culture from bottle to breastfeeding comes after a report to support improved awareness and engagement for breastfeeding across North Lanarkshire was agreed.
Incorporating breastfeeding awareness into the education curriculum from nursery through to secondary school, including breastfeeding awareness sessions to senior pupils as part of the Personal, Social and Health Education (PHSE) programme.
Incorporating breastfeeding facilities at the design stage of any new construction projects, particularly those included in the proposed £500million community investment fund, or in any future refurbishment plans for existing council buildings.
Working with its partners to promote the benefits of breastfeeding as well as the council and NHS breastfeeding facilities available, to staff and the wider public.
Assisting young parent groups with practical skills to improve nutrition and infant feeding through Community Learning and Development classes.
Adapting the council's Diet and Nutrition policy to ensure the promotion of breastfeeding is included.
Councillor Paul Kelly, depute leader of the council said, "Breastfeeding rates in North Lanarkshire are low and it's important that we make every effort to change the current bottle-fed culture to one that is focused on breastfeeding. We can help to increase breastfeeding rates by encouraging our own people, who in the main live in North Lanarkshire, to breastfeed for as long as possible.
"We are committed to exploring a range of opportunities that will ultimately encourage more women to breastfeed, such as providing breastfeeding-friendly facilities and delivering a practical educational programme that improves knowledge of the benefits of breastfeeding."

We take a look at the SuperNatrual engine, the sequncer and other aspects. There's a lot to cover – so grab a cuppa..
The JD-XA's analog side features a discrete, four-part engine with true analog filters and a direct dry output.
Each part has two oscillators, along with filter and amp sections and four envelopes with incredibly fast attack and response times. There are also two LFOs with super-smooth coverage from ultra-slow to ultra-fast.
After building an analog sound, users can route it directly to the dry output, or send it to the onboard digital effects to shape the sound further.
On the digital side, the JD-XA is equipped with a four-part, 64-voice sound engine powered by Roland's SuperNATURAL synthesizer technology. The engine is compatible with the synth engine from the INTEGRA-7 sound module, a favorite of top producers, composers, and sound designers. This allows users to take advantage of the large library of custom INTEGRA-7 sounds, available for free at Roland's Axial website.
For more info on the Roland JD-Xa, see the Roland site.

Can some one actually draw me a picture of how I can connect my KPC3 TNC to my MTS2000? I still can't get my head around how to key the radio from the TNC.
P.S. I want to make up a cable to work with the audio adapter and also one just using an old speaker mic cord.
Many portable radios put DC on the mic input signal line, as well as mic audio. This lets them use an electret (i.e. powered) mike by providing the DC from the radio. Push-To-Talk is accomplished by grounding another line, or this same mic input line through a resistor, so the DC level shifts closer to ground. The radio senses the change in DC voltage and begins transmitting. There's still enough power left to run the mic.
Your TNC probably has separate audio out and PTT lines. You may have to use a 10uF capacitor from the audio out line to a common radio input point to pass the audio, and then use a resistor from this point to your KPC PTT line to make the radio transmit. The capacitor keeps the DC out of the KPC while the resistor makes the radio think the external mike's PTT button was pressed. It's all very radio-dependent.
If the radio has discrete mic audio and PTT inputs, then connecting the KPC's PTT line directly to the radio's PTT input should work just fine. But I'd want to verify that the signals really do go to ground first, by checking the schematic of a radio or microphone.
I take he is not talking about TNC, as in the connector type? What is a TNC?
He is talking about a KPC3 Kantronics wireless modem (TNC= Terminal Node Controller).
I don't have any connection information.
A TNC is a [ Threaded BNC style Cconnector ] ???
Yeah, Monty........that is what I thought, when I first read the thread. But then I saw his comment about not knowing how to do PTT from the TNC, and I knew he couldn't be talking about a TNC RF connector. At least, I hoped he wasn't.
Isn't it like a data deal that hams us?
Yes, it's called a Terminal Node Controller and interfaces a radio with a computer. Kind of like a smart modem. It controls packet flow and tx/rx operations of the radio.
Keying a Jedi radio requires both OPT SEL 1 and 2 contacts on the accessory side connector to be grounded at the same time. OPT SEL 1 is grounded permanently to activate the external speaker. OPT SEL 2 now functions as the PTT line when grounded.
http://www.batlabs.com/images/mt2kpin.gif shows the side connector layout.
Pins are numbered from the top down; pins 1 and 2 in the top group and pins 1 to 13 in the bottom group.
OPT SEL 1 is pin 1 in the bottom group of contacts.
OPT SEL 2 is pin 5 in the bottom group of contacts.
Pin three is external mic input.
The easiest way to connect to these pins for TNC use would be to get a external speaker/mic cable and use the RJ11 ??? connector that normally connects the cable to the mic head and plug it into a RJ11 wall box.
You can pick up RX audio between the speaker output and ground; just do not load it too much since it's not designed to be used that way.
The OPT SEL pins have several features that are not documented. These pins can both sink and source current. In the JT1000 these pins allow programming from the front panel if a diode is placed across them. I also believe that they are used to switch the radio to low power in a MVA box, but I didn't verify this.
Looks like the above RJ11 is a RJ45.

Sorry about ambiguity of my post. I was talking about the data modem not the RF connector. I'm not a HAM but I do find TNC's to be very useful on the non HAM bands.
Anyway.....Now that I know how to use the speaker mic cable to do this job, how about setting it up on a HT1250 (GP338) I don't have access to a speaker mic cable but I do have an audio adapter. So I'm guessing it would be just like hooking up a radio modem to a GP300.
If I were to pull Pin 5 to ground on the service cable, would this cause the radio to tx?
Yes it will PTT if pin 5 is grounded. Also not that the speaker is floating.
Great this has all been a great help.
My only problem now is the MIC input on the JEDI connector/speaker mic.
I used my multi meter to map out the pin outs between the JEDI connector and the RJ45 connector on the other end, everything went well, except that the MIC Input pin (pin 3) on the JEDI connector has no corrosponding pin on the RJ45 side. I find this to be impossible. I've tried this with two known working speaker mic cables and yet I still can't find it!!
Any help with this last hurdle?
NAND: In regards to the floating Speaker out (Waris), can it some how be isolated so as to allow the audio to be found between the SPK Hot and regular GND? If I'm not mistaken, and not to much of a novice this is the same as the JEDI, so I should be able to pull some audio from it just by hooking it up the same?
I'm using a small RJ45 to DB9 connector which is designed to be custom wired and snaped together, however this neat little package doesn't leave much room.
Obviously there has to be a connection for the mic at the RJ45 end. There is some simple circuitry on the radio connector end perhaps a capacitor. You can remove the cover and have a peek there or just inject audio into the RJ45 where you suspect the mic may connect.
As for the Warris, it is similar to the Jedi. Both use a push-pull arrangement.
The RJ45 to DB9 connector makes a nice setup since it connects directly to the TMC that way.
I hope I can pull it off. Your right it does make a neat little package. It's just a pitty I may have to make changes to a skr mic cable. I was hoping I could leave it all standard. Hmmm thinking about it now, I don't believe all the RJ45 connections are used perhaps I can pick up the mic audio from an unused wire....if they have left any unused in the cable....we shall see.
Hmm how about modifiying this to do the same. This way I can just use an audio adapter.
For the Jedi, you should be able to get mic audio into the blue wire at the speaker/mic RJ45. There are some resistors and a choke inside the other end. These should not cause a problem. There also is about 3.8 volts at that point, so use a small capacitor (0.1uF) to feed the audio in.
Here is the pinout and their functions at the mic head end. With the gold RJ45 pins facing you and the cable downwards, the firts pin on the left I call pin 1. It has a black wire running from it.

'Sleep Machine' An Ambient Noise App For Your Nap
By Paul F. Tompkins
Published April 29, 2013 at 3:00 PM EDT
MELISSA BLOCK, HOST:
And finally in Tech, an app for your nap. It's called Sleep Machine, and it lulls users into rest and relaxation by way of ambient noise: from lapping waves on the beach...
(SOUNDBITE OF WAVES)
BLOCK: ...to the loud hum of a hair dryer, if that's your thing.
(SOUNDBITE OF A HAIR DRYER)
BLOCK: And there's instrumental music.
PAUL F. TOMPKINS: I can't stop picturing the people making the music.
TOMPKINS: That's always my downfall with those is that I just imagine like, OK, how many people are in on this session?
BLOCK: That's comedian and self-described light sleeper Paul F. Tompkins. Tompkins has tried his fair share of soothing sounds to fall asleep, so we asked him to get some shut eye using the Sleep Machine app. He sent us this review.
TOMPKINS: I had a great experience with this. There's a paid version and a free version. I sprang for the paid version because I'm worth it. It's got great things like - there's a timer so you can control how long you want the noises to go on for. You can have them fade out after a while. You can give yourself, you know, half an hour to fall asleep, and then you can have a totally different sound wake you up in 30 minutes or the next day, whenever you need it.
TOMPKINS: And it has a ton of sounds. And I was really kind of amused and surprised by the - some of the noises that I'm assuming people wanted to hear...
(SOUNDBITE OF A FAN)
TOMPKINS: ...a bathroom fan. I get that it's a fan, and I get that the white noise of that is appealing. But I don't know who's falling asleep in their bathroom.
TOMPKINS: There's crickets on here, which I have never found relaxing.
(SOUNDBITE OF CRICKETS)
TOMPKINS: And I think that the problem with, I say this as a veteran of environmental recordings. The problem for me with crickets is that they're always too loud, and they're - it's too constant. It's like it's not just, it's nighttime in the summer and there's crickets in the background. It's like you're in a cricket nest or a cricket hive. I don't know what they live in, but it's too many crickets. They really sound aggressive.
But there's a lot of great machines like dishwasher and air purifier, air conditioner. There's ones that I thought would be good, but weren't that great. Like, foghorn ends up being not a relaxing sound.
(SOUNDBITE OF A FOGHORN)
TOMPKINS: Frog's not a relaxing sound. But you can mix and match the sounds. You can layer up to three different sounds together. So you can put the beach together with the rain. You can put your frogs and your crickets together if you want to, you know, make yourself insane.
(SOUNDBITE OF FROGS AND CRICKETS)
TOMPKINS: I mean, for the thing that you want it to do, it kind of has covered all of the bases. So I would have to say this is a great app for somebody like me. And I consider it a new ally in my ongoing war against sleeplessness.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT")
BLOCK: That's comedian Paul F. Tompkins. He was reviewing the app Sleep Machine.

Angelinite is a newly discovered white coloured crystal from Vermont in the United States of America. It is a combination of White Quartz (Silicon Dioxide), Calcium Carbonate and trace minerals. The surface planes of Angelinite catch and reflect light causing the characteristic "shimmering" effect.
The frequency of Angelinite connects to the third eye and crown chakras. It powerfully stimulates the third eye and crown charkas, rapidly opening one's consciousness to connect to the higher dimensions and the Angelic realm.
The energy of Angelinite helps one to receive guidance from one's guardian angel and other angelic beings. It aids one with one's "spiritual self-healing", attuning one to the higher dimensions.
The high vibrational energy of this crystal is such a powerful stimulator of the upper chakras it is best to work with it in combination with powerful grounding stones such as Black Tourmaline, thus balancing the polarities.

This started off as a recipe from The Frog Commissary Cookbook. I added the coconut oil, which makes a big difference, surprisingly enough. This little bit of coconut oil really adds to the chewiness of the cookie without actually making it taste like coconut. Make sure to use the extra virgin kind. And be sure to buy your favorite brand of chocolate. Not all chocolate chips are equal!
Preheat the oven to 350F. Cream together the butter, coconut oil, and the sugars until mixture is light in color. (If your kitchen is warm and the coconut oil is liquid, cream the butter with sugars first and then add in the coconut oil.) Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the milk and vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually beat the flour into the sugar mixture until just incorporated. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips.
Drop in 1 inch mounds of dough onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 350°F for about 12-13 minutes, until golden brown at the edges and light golden at the center. Cool on wire racks.
Taking them out at the right time is the trick with these cookies. They should look mostly cooked but maybe just a smidge underdone. After they spend another 2 minutes or so on the cookie sheet they will be perfect. You're going for a cookie that, when cooled, is a tiny bit crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside (thanks to the oatmeal).
If I don't want to make the whole batch, I line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and prep the cookies (putting as many cookies on the cookie sheet as will fit). Then I put the cookie sheet in the freezer for about a half hour or until they are hard. I then remove the frozen balls of dough from the cookie sheet and toss them into a big Ziploc freezer bag for long-term storage. Whenever I'm ready to bake the cookies, I can bake them directly from the freezer for 16 minutes at 350°F.


EU Brexit chief Michel Barnier has said he believes that a "blame game" against the EU is underway in Britain over the growing possibility of a 'no-deal' Brexit.
Barnier made the claim as the UK government prepares to publish a series of reports on Thursday detailing its plans to cope with a 'no-deal' Brexit – including assurances of supplies of food and medicines.
NHS managers warned yesterday that a cliff-edge exit would create drug shortages in hospitals and help the spread of diseases.
Raab insisted today the UK would be "prepared for all eventualities" and rubbished "hair-raising scare stories" which he said would be shown to be "very far from the truth" when the reports are released.
The pace of negotiations has increased since Raab took over the post from David Davis – he has met Barnier three times in the space of 34 days. By comparison it took Davis more than six months to have three meetings with the EU chief negotiator.
And negotiations are being stepped-up again in a bid to reach a deal by the deadline – the European Council on October.
Barnier announced that talks between negotiators from the two sides will now be "continuous" and Raab announced he would be back in Brussels as soon as next week.
The two sides reported progress towards an agreement on defence and security cooperation after Brexit, but Barnier said frankly that there was continued disagreement over the economic aspects of Theresa May's 'Chequers plan'.
Barnier said the plan "contradicts" his guidelines, which will be interpreted as opposition to a proposal for the UK to effectively remain in a single market for goods only.
Raab said "ambition on substance, energy and compromise" were needed to agree a deal by October.

Patients with complex sleep apnea often demonstrate periodic breathing patterns. Our clinically proven servo-ventilation algorithm is designed to adjust pressure support accordingly to stabilize breathing and deliver the minimum level of mechanical intervention.
In the presence of central events, it is important to deliver sufficient ventilation while still allowing natural pauses in breathing. Our BiPAP autoSV's auto back-up rate is designed to provide support during central apneas while encouraging spontaneous breathing.
Our patented DreamStation BiPAP autoSV features an auto EPAP algorithm designed to keep the upper airways open. This algorithm responds to obstructive events and proactively searches for the lowest possible therapy pressure.
Designed for ease of use with feedback from hundreds of patients, DreamStation incorporates smart features like a patient-facing color screen, and a sleek, low-profile design.
DreamStation includes features such as Daily Progress Feedback and DreamMapper patient self-management system to help sleep apnea patients start therapy and stay motivated for the long term.
With remote troubleshooting tools like Performance Check, and connectivity options including Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth® and cellular, DreamStation can help reduce costly home visits and let you focus your attention where it needs to be.

A project to improve capacity and safety at the intersection of Centerville Road (Route 614) and News Road (Route 613) in James City County is scheduled to begin as early as Jan. 6, 2020.
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) engineers incorporated extensive public input from the community in the final design and construction plan. The project plans include the addition of a right turn lane on News Road, a right and left turn lane on Centerville Road, and installation of a traffic signal at the intersection. Improvements to this intersection will allow for the projected growth in vehicle volume and increase safety, allowing drivers to enter and exit the intersection with more visibility and efficient traffic flow.
Starting in early 2020, contractor crews will mobilize and begin installing temporary construction signage, and commence clearing and grubbing operations as necessary. In this early phase of work, crews will also be installing a temporary storm water sediment basin and supporting drainage structures on Centerville Road as an environmental measure to control and filter any residual runoff from the project.
Henry S. Branscome, LLC was awarded the $1.9 million construction contract on Nov. 15, 2019. The project is estimated to be complete in winter 2020.
Traffic Impacts:
Starting as early as the week of Jan. 6, right shoulder closures are estimated to begin on Centerville Road to allow for the installation of temporary construction signage.
VDOT and the contractor will work to minimize impacts and mitigate traffic issues as much as possible throughout the project duration, maintaining two-way traffic on both Centerville Road and News Road during construction. Throughout all phases of construction, access will be maintained to all local residences.
Motorists will be advised of additional lane closures or traffic shifts that may occur during the project. All construction work is dependent upon weather conditions.

Fr. Gobbi's Circular Letter 2003 – English
Ave Maria Milan: January 1, 2003
Year of The Rosary
NATIONAL AND REGIONAL DIRECTORS OF THE M.M.P. :
To all, I offer my affectionate wishes of peace, of trust and of comfort in these painful times of the great trial that have arrived for the Church and for all humanity.
For this reason, our Holy Father John Paul II has proclaimed 2003 as the Year of the Rosary.
"At the start of a millennium which began with the terrifying attacks of 11 September 2001, a millennium which witnesses every day in numerous parts of the world fresh scenes of bloodshed and violence, to rediscover the Rosary means to immerse oneself in contemplation of the mystery of Christ who 'is our peace' "… (Rosarium Virginis Mariae- R.V.M., 6)
"The grave challenges confronting the world at the start of this new Millennium lead us to think that only an intervention from on high, capable of guiding the hearts of those living in situations of conflict and those governing the destinies of nations, can give reason to hope for a brighter future. The Rosary is by its nature a prayer for peace…" (R.V.M., 40)
"The Church has always attributed particular efficacy to this prayer, entrusting to the Rosary, to its choral recitation and to its constant practice, the most difficult problems. At times when Christianity itself seemed under threat, its deliverance was attributed to the power of this prayer, and Our Lady of the Rosary was acclaimed as the one whose intercession brought salvation." (R.V.M., 39)
"I desire that during the course of this year the Rosary should be especially emphasized and promoted in the various Christian communities. I therefore proclaim the year from October 2002 to October 2003 the Year of the Rosary."
(R.V.M., 3)
This urgent invitation from the Pope must be welcomed, in a most particular way, by the priests and faithful of the Marian Movement of Priests.
In the year 2002, I was able to participate in regional cenacles in Brazil, Bolivia, Italy, France, Slovenia, Austria, Germany and Portugal. With 56 flights, I visited 77 cities and presided over 107 cenacles, in which 35 bishops, 1,700 priests and 550,000 faithful participated.
In Collevalenza [Italy], at the Spiritual Exercises [Retreat] held in the form of a continuous cenacle, 15 archbishops and bishops, and about 300 priests from the five continents took part.
During the past year, the Marian Movement of Priests has been particularly tried, because of great moral or physical sufferings that have stricken many of its members. For this reason, I have been very close to you, bearing with you the weight of the Cross, and thus seconding the action of Our Lady who is purifying this work of hers so that, during the days of the great trial, it [the M.M.P.] may become the extraordinary sign of her presence and her maternal comfort.
I entrust to the Will of the Lord and to the design of the Immaculate Heart of Mary the fulfillment of the schedule of cenacles which I have prepared for this year.
THE SPIRITUAL EXERCISES
In Collevalenza, from June 29 – July 5, at the Shrine of Merciful Love, there will take place the Spiritual Exercises [Retreat] for the bishops and priests of the Marian Movement of Priests from Europe, America, Africa, Asia and Oceania.
I inform you of the following:
a) There will be room for all in the same house. Few laypersons will be allowed to attend, and only those who have a responsibility in the M.M.P.
b) I invite the priests to bring with them their surplus Mass intentions to be offered as fraternal assistance to those who find themselves in financial difficulty.
c) As always, address all inquiries and reservation requests to:

Rev. Albert G. Roux, National Director
REGIONAL CENACLES ABROAD:
Feeling the weight of fatigue, of my age and of my precarious health condition greatly increase, I entrust myself totally into the arms of the heavenly Mother for the completion of the schedule that I have prepared for abroad.
From January 15 to April 3, I will go to Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay and Paraguay; and on June 28 to Slovenia. If circumstances allow, from September to December I have the intention of going to Canada, the United States, Mexico and El Salvador.
REGIONAL CENACLES IN ITALY:
Rome-April 23; Pompei-April 25; Lecce-April 29;
Gabriele-May 2; Collevalenza-May 6; Florence-May 8; Caravaggio-May 13; Turin-May 15; Genoa-May 20; Bologna-May 22; S. Vito-May 27; Padua-May 29; Loreto-June 12.
YEAR OF THE ROSARY:
YEAR OF THE CENACLE
In this year of the Rosary, I invite all of you to spread everywhere the Cenacles of the Marian Movement of Priests, because in these the Holy Rosary is always recited, the Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is renewed, and there is felt the comfort of her maternal protection in the time of the great trial.
"…the time has come for all to hasten into the safe refuge of my Immaculate Heart. Do not lose courage. Be strong in trust and confidence. (…)
The further you enter into the time of the great trial, the more will you experience, in an extraordinary way, my motherly presence close to you, to help, defend, protect and console you, and to prepare for you new days of serenity and peace."
(486uv, Jan. 1, 1993)
Therefore, this year of the Rosary must be, for the Marian Movement of Priests, the Year of the Cenacle.
THE TIME OF THE CENACLE
"And so I renew again today my invitation to multiply the cenacles of prayer, which I have asked for, with such motherly insistence." (496d, May 30, 1993)
"The period of the purification and the great tribulation in which you are living must be for you the time of the cenacle. (573j)
This is, for the Church and for all humanity, the time of the Cenacle. (573d)
— It isthe time of the cenacle for the Church, invited by me to enter into the cenacle of my Immaculate Heart. (…) (573e)
— It isthe time of the cenacle for this poor humanity, so possessed by the spirits of evil, impelled along the road of pleasure and pride, of sin and impurity, of egoism and unhappiness. Humanity must now enter into the cenacle of my Immaculate Heart: here, as Mother, I will teach it to pray and to repent; I will lead it to penance and conversion, to a change of heart and of life.
…For this reason, I am asking today that the Church and humanity enter into the cenacle which your heavenly Mother has prepared for you." (573hi – May 22, 1996)
THE PRAYER OF THE CENACLE
During this year, I invite all of you to meditate on the apostolic letter of our Holy Father Pope John Paul II, "Rosarium Virginis Mariae." For the Marian Movement of Priests, it must be a cause of joy and comfort because therein are emphasized aspects that are clearly indicated in our book, "To the Priests, Our Lady's Beloved Sons."
a) The Rosary Is Requested by Our Lady
"The prayer of my predilection is the holy rosary.
For this reason, in my many apparitions I always ask that it be recited. I unite myself with those who say it; I request it from all with solicitude and maternal preoccupation."
(275cd; October 7, 1983)
"Well-known are the occasions in the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries on which the Mother of Christ made her presence felt and her voice heard, in order to exhort the People of God to this form of contemplative prayer. I would mention in particular, on account of their great influence on the lives of Christians and the authoritative recognition they have received from the Church, the apparitions of Lourdes and of Fatima; these shrines continue to be visited by great numbers of pilgrims seeking comfort and hope." (R.V.M., 7)
b) The Rosary Is a Simple and Profound Prayer
"Simple yet profound, it [the rosary] still remains, at the dawn of this third millennium, a prayer of great significance, destined to bring forth a harvest of holiness." (…)
"The Rosary is my favorite prayer. A marvelous prayer! Marvelous in its simplicity and its depth." (R.V.M., 1,2)
"Why is the holy rosary so efficacious?
Because it is a simple prayer, a humble one, and it forms you spiritually in littleness, in meekness, in simplicity of heart.
Today Satan is successfully conquering everything with the spirit of pride and of rebellion against God, and he is terrified by those who follow your heavenly Mother along the road of littleness and humility. While this prayer is despised by the great and the proud, it is recited with so much love and so much joy by my little ones, by the poor, by children, by the humble, the suffering, by the many, many faithful souls who have welcomed my invitation.
Satan's pride will again be conquered by the humility of little ones, and the Red Dragon will find himself decisively humiliated and defeated when I bind him not by a great chain but by a very frail cord: the holy rosary." (275e-h; Oct. 7, 1983)
c) The Rosary Is a Christological Prayer
"To recite the Rosary is nothing other than to contemplate with Mary the face of Christ." (R.V.M., 3)
"The Virgin Mary is the unrivalled model of Christian contemplation (cf. Apostolic Letter "Rosarium Virginis Mariae", n. 10). From Jesus' conception until his resurrection and ascension into heaven, the Mother kept the gaze of her Immaculate Heart on her divine Son: a wonderful, penetrating, sorrowful and radiant insight (cf. ibid.). It is this Marian look full of faith and love, that the individual Christian and the ecclesial community make their own when they recite the Rosary." (John Paul II, Angelus, Oct. 27, 2002, #2)
"By contemplating its mysteries, you are led to understand the plan of Jesus, as spelled out in all of his life, from the Incarnation to the consummation of his glorious Pasch, and thus you penetrate ever more profoundly into the mystery of the redemption.
And you begin to understand this mystery of love through your heavenly Mother; moving through the passageway of her Heart, you gain possession of the immense treasure of the divine and burning charity of the Heart of Christ."
(275n,o; Oct. 7, 1983)
THE FRUIT OF THE CENACLE
The fruit of the cenacle is the second Pentecost.
"Within this new and spiritual cenacle, I will prepare [humanity] to receive the gift of the second Pentecost, which will renew the face of the earth." (573i, May 22, 1996)
"In these cenacles, the Holy Spirit will come down to lead you to the second Pentecost…
Then the Holy Spirit will come down as a comfort upon the mourning of your days, in which the great trial has already come.
Amidst the mourning of a humanity without God, there will come down the comfort of the Holy Spirit, who will lead the whole world to the perfect glorification of the Heavenly Father, bringing about a new marriage of love between a renewed humanity and its Lord who has created, redeemed and saved it.
Amidst the mourning of a divided, darkened and wounded Church, there will be felt the comfort of the Holy Spirit, who will clothe it with fortitude and wisdom, with grace and holiness, and with love and light, in such a way that it may give its full witness to Jesus, living in it until the end of the world.
Amidst the mourning of souls, made slaves of Satan, immersed in the shadow of sin and death, there will alight the comfort of the Holy Spirit, who will give the light of the presence of God, the life of divine grace, and the fire of love, so that in them the Most Holy and Divine Trinity will be able to take up its permanent dwelling.
Amidst the mourning of the great trial, there will come down the comfort of the divine presence of the Spirit of the Lord, who will lead you to live — with confidence, courage, hope, serenity and love — through the events, which are awaiting you.
And so today, I invite you to unite your prayer to mine, so that the Spirit of the Lord may come down upon you, with all his gifts.
Come, O Holy Spirit.
Come, and change the face of the earth.
Come, quickly.
Come, in these last times.
Come, now that the great trial has arrived.
Come, and bring us your second Pentecost, so that our eyes may see your greatest miracle, that of the new heavens and new earth." (496 h-p, May 30, 1993)
Then the Holy Spirit will give its perfect witness to Jesus who will return in glory and will make all things new. With Mary, let us go with joy towards Christ. To Jesus Christ who comes, throw open wide the doors of our heart, of our life and of our homes. Let us live the anxious yet magnificent hour of this second Advent. With the strength of our witness, let us proclaim to all that which St. Peter announced before the Sanhedrin: "For of all the names in the world given to men, this is the only one [Jesus Christ] by which we can be saved." (cf. Acts 4:12)
He alone is our Savior; He alone is our Redeemer. Because he is the only-begotten Son of the Father, [who was] conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the ever Virgin Mother, who died on the Cross for our Redemption, and is risen, because He is God. Jesus Christ is the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega, the luminous Morning Star, who leads us to live the new day, illumined by the contemplation of his Face.
"To look upon the face of Christ, to recognize its mystery amid the daily events and the sufferings of his human life, and then to grasp the divine splendor definitively revealed in the Risen Lord, seated in glory at the right hand of the Father: this is the task of every follower of Christ and therefore the task of each one of us. In contemplating Christ's face we become open to receiving the mystery of Trinitarian life, experiencing ever anew the love of the Father and delighting in the joy of the Holy Spirit. Saint Paul's words can then be applied to us: 'Beholding the glory of the Lord, we are being changed into his likeness, from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit' " (2Cor 3:18). (R.V.M., 9)
"It [the Rosary] blends easily into the spiritual journey of the Christian life, which, after two thousand years, has lost none of the freshness of its beginnings and feels drawn by the Spirit of God to 'set out into the deep' (duc in altum!) in order once more to proclaim, and even cry out, before the world that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior, 'the way, and the truth and the life' (Jn 14:6), 'the goal of human history and the point on which the desires of history and civilization turn.' "
"I look to all of you, brothers and sisters of every state of life, to you, Christian families, to you, the sick and elderly, and to you, young people: confidently take up the Rosary once again. Rediscover the Rosary in the light of Scripture, in harmony with the Liturgy, and in the context of your daily lives."
(R.V.M., 43)
Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, writes: "The essence of the Liturgy is summarized in the prayer given to us by St. Paul and the Didache: 'Maranatha – Come, O Lord.' In the Liturgy, the Parousia is already fulfilled, but this comes to pass by directing us toward the Lord who is coming, and precisely by teaching us to invoke COME LORD JESUS! It [the Liturgy] leads us to perceive, even today, his response and to experience its truth: YES, I AM COMING SOON! (Rev. 22, 17-20). (from Il Timone, n. 22, p. 40)
I entrust to you, who are the directors, the task of sending this letter to the members of the Marian Movement of Priests, so that it may bring to all my affectionate greeting along with my priestly blessing.
In the Immaculate Heart of Mary,


More visitor accommodation is the highest priority infrastructure needed to support the future growth of New Zealand's booming tourism industry, according to research carried out by Deloitte for TIA.
Released on 12 April 2017, the other priority infrastructure types identified by TIA's National Tourism Infrastructure Assessment are telecommunications, airport facilities, road transport, car parking, toilets, and water and sewerage systems.
The Assessment finds that the tourism industry will need to work closely with central and local government to achieve the required development to close these infrastructure gaps as market forces alone are unlikely to be sufficient.
Smart, coordinated and active interventions are needed to ensure tourism growth is sustainable, that the industry keeps growing its contribution to New Zealand's economy and reaches its Tourism 2025 goal of $41 billion annual revenue.
Supported by a number of industry partners, TIA commissioned Deloitte to undertake the comprehensive National Tourism Infrastructure Assessment in August 2016.
Surveys, interviews and various data sources were used to assess 20 categories of infrastructure across 31 regions.
We wanted to identify infrastructure gaps that have a high tourism impact, and require a great deal of coordination between the public and private sectors.
At a national level, seven infrastructure types fall into this category – visitor accommodation, telecommunications, airport facilities, car parking, public toilets, water and sewerage systems, and road transport.
At a regional level, each region has a different pattern of priorities depending on local circumstances.
Three of the priority areas – car parking, toilets, and water and sewerage systems – are the types of facilities usually provided by local government. As an additional piece of work to the main Assessment, TIA commissioned Deloitte to estimate the scale of need for 'local and mixed use infrastructure' – facilities that are used by both residents and visitors.
This gathered information from councils around the country and TIA members on tourism-related infrastructure projects they might be contemplating.
The list was a real mixed bag of projects big and small, some ready to go, others just ideas. But it served to demonstrate the scale of the need. We have provided the results of that work to the government, and we believe it supports the case for a substantial Tourism Infrastructure Fund to support local projects.
Done well, this fund can address much of the concern for these local and mixed use infrastructure types.
The other priority infrastructure types – visitor accommodation, telecommunications, airport facilities and road transport – each need further investigation and development of specific approaches to ensure the right investments are made and gaps are closed. TIA will work with the public and private sectors to identify the best way forward.
Deloitte was the research project supplier. This consultancy brought deep infrastructure expertise to the project from its New Zealand and Australian-based tourism specialists.
Initial results were presented at TIA's 2016 Tourism Summit Aotearoa in Wellington on 9 November.
This project articulates the key infrastructure requirements of the tourism industry and barriers that exist. It does not, however, provide all the answers on how these needs will be addressed. Other work, such as an industry report released in December 2016 and commissioned by Air NZ, THL, Auckland Airport and Christchurch Airport, and policy work by the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment will shed more light in these important areas. (See MBIE's tourism infrastructure report).
It is anticipated that together, all these efforts will provide a substantive body of new information on what infrastructure is needed, when, and how it might be put in place.
The findings will guide TIA's advocacy on behalf of the industry into the future. They will also inform central and local government on national and regional tourism infrastructure priorities, and will assist in informing investors of the opportunities available.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this important TIA project.
The Government's Tourism Infrastructure Fund provides up to $25 million per year for the development of tourism-related infrastructure such as carparks, freedom camping facilities, sewerage and water works and transport projects.
Announced as part of Budget 2017, the Tourism Infrastructure Fund supports local communities facing pressure from tourism growth and in need of assistance – areas with high visitor numbers but small ratepayer bases, for example.
Influencing New Zealand Trade & Enterprise's 'Project Palace' to provide greater insight into accommodation investment needs. The report was released in May 2016.
Influencing the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment's tourism infrastructure review to ensure government alignment on the key issues.
Working with the Department of Conservation to create an infrastructure development programme and support private sector investment that allows New Zealanders and international visitors to enjoy the conservation estate.
Ensuring tourism interests are recognised and protected in the reform of the Resource Management Act.
Investigating international approaches to meeting tourism infrastructure needs and identifying options for application in New Zealand.
Identifying the crucial infrastructure-related government policy and investment needed to support Tourism 2025.

Advice: Top tips on lease negotiation
By Lancashire Business View
Before you make the move into new premises here is some of our expert advice and our top tips on lease negotiation to get the results that work for you.
By Brent Forbes, director, Petty Chartered Surveyors.
During negotiations a Tenant may be asked to provide a personal guarantee. This protects the Landlord who will wish to put this in place should a Tenant default on the Lease and claim bankruptcy. If you do give a personal guarantee to the Landlord don't forget that he can come after the Guarantor for the balance of the Lease and any moneys owed.
In Need of Flexibility The greater the amount of flexibility that can be negotiated into a Lease, the more attractive it will be for a Tenant whether this is a monthly rolling contract, break clauses at specific periods or sub-letting clauses. However, the Landlord may require an increased rental in lieu of the flexibility and if you are looking to assign your Lease a Landlord may require your incoming Tenant to satisfy certain criteria. Consequently assignment of a Lease to a new Tenant may not be straightforward and may hold up any prospects of relocation.
Usage Ensure that there aren't any restrictions within your Lease such as opening hours, signage, restricted access and a strict user clause. For example, you may initially take on premises for the purpose of retail, but your business needs change to an on-line provider and you wish to use the premises for warehousing rather than retail. These limitations can hinder your business and become prohibitive for future success.
Pre-existing Condition Clauses Landlords will sometimes seek to negotiate an inclusion of this clause which requires Tenants to restore the accommodation to its original condition and appearance when they move out. This can be very costly and can make the changes you initially planned too expensive to rectify when you want to vacate.
Tenant Repairs Ensure you know who is responsible for the repair not only to the structure but also the fittings such as central heating systems, lighting, leaking windows and so on. Many Landlords will attempt to have Tenants pay for these expenses so clarify the situation and ensure that it is written in to your Lease so that there is no ambiguity. Service Charge This is in addition to your rent and can change significantly from year to year if major refurbishment or upgrade to the common areas is required so take into account the current charges and how they may fluctuate over the coming years.

Iraqi military officials uncovered a trove of over one hundred artifacts that experts have traced back to the Nimrud archaeological site at the former home of an Islamic State terrorist leader in eastern Mosul.
Imagine: you are window-shopping on a quiet street, perhaps in London or Paris or New York. Something remarkable catches your eye: an ancient coin, a gold chain, a tiny figurine. Impulsively, you enter the shop, where the owner explains to you that the sculpture comes originally from Mesopotamia, that the necklace is Byzantine. It isn't inexpensive, but the shopkeeper has guaranteed its provenance and the price seems fair; and besides, you quite love it. You say yes, and leave the shop with your new treasure tucked safely in a bag.
On Wednesday, the United States returned to Iraq stolen antiquities captured in a raid on ISIS.
Facebook has begun the arduous work of shutting down Arabic-language pages created for selling ancient Syrian artifacts ransacked from areas controlled by the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS). The sale of priceless antiques has become a cornerstone of the ISIS economy, as demand skyrockets for the contents of looted museums, temples, and ruins.
After years of campaigning for ancient artifacts to be returned from foreign museums to the nations where they were found, archaeologists and museum officials are rethinking the concept of "repatriation"–particularly in Iraq and Syria, where the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) has made destruction of historical artifacts a priority.
Three masked thieves rammed an SUV into the glass doors of the Wells Fargo History Museum in San Francisco, California Tuesday, holding a guard at gunpoint while they pilfered gold artifacts. Leaving the SUV behind, the smash and grabbers hopped into a getaway sedan and off into the night.

Charles Yorke PC (30 December 172220 January 1770) was briefly Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain. His father was also Lord Chancellor, and he began his career as a Member of Parliament. He served successively as Solicitor-General and Attorney-General for several governments, during which he was best known for writing what became the Quebec Act. He was appointed Lord Chancellor over his objections, but he committed suicide only three days after taking the post.

Life
The second son of Philip Yorke, 1st Earl of Hardwicke, he was born in London, and was educated at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. His literary abilities were shown at an early age by his collaboration with his brother Philip in the Athenian Letters. In 1745 he published an able treatise on the law of forfeiture for high treason, in defence of the severe sentences his father had given to the Scottish Jacobite peers following the Battle of Culloden. In the following year he was called to the bar.

His father being at this time Lord Chancellor, Yorke obtained a sinecure appointment in the Court of Chancery in 1747, and entered Parliament as member for Reigate, a seat which he afterwards exchanged for that for the University of Cambridge. He quickly made his mark in the House of Commons, one of his earliest speeches being in favour of his father's reform of the marriage law that led to the Marriage Act 1753. In 1750 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.

In 1751 he became counsel to the East India Company, and in 1756 he was appointed Solicitor-General, a place which he retained in the administration of the elder Pitt, of whose foreign policy he was a powerful defender.

He resigned with Pitt in 1761, but in 1762 became Attorney-General under Lord Bute. He continued to hold this office when George Grenville became Prime Minister (April 1763), and advised the government on the question raised by John Wilkes's The North Briton. Yorke refused to describe the libel as treasonable, while pronouncing it a high misdemeanour. In the following November he resigned office. Resisting Pitt's attempt to draw him into alliance against the ministry he had quit, Yorke maintained, in a speech that extorted the highest eulogy from Horace Walpole, that parliamentary privilege did not extend to cases of libel; though he agreed with Pitt in condemning the principle of general warrants. Yorke, henceforward a member of the Rockingham party, was elected recorder of Dover in 1764, and in 1765 he again became Attorney-General in the Rockingham administration, whose policy he did much to shape. He supported the repeal of the Stamp Act, while urging the simultaneous passing of the Declaratory Act. His most important measure was the constitution which he drew up for the province of Quebec, and which after his resignation of office became the Quebec Act of 1774.

On the accession to power of Chatham and Grafton in 1766, Yorke resigned office, and took little part in the debates in parliament during the next four years. In 1770 he was invited by the Duke of Grafton, when Camden was dismissed from the Chancellorship, to take his seat on the woolsack. He had, however, explicitly pledged himself to Rockingham and his party not to take office with Grafton. The King exerted all his personal influence to overcome Yorke's scruples, warning him finally that the Great Seal if now refused would never again be within his grasp. Yorke yielded to the King's entreaty, and he was appointed Lord Chancellor and sworn of the Privy Council on 17 January 1770,. He went to his brother's house, where he met the leaders of the Opposition, and feeling at once overwhelmed with shame, fled to his own house, where three days later he committed suicide (20 January 1770). The patent raising him to the peerage as Baron Morden had been made out, but his last act was to refuse his sanction to the sealing of the document.

Family

Charles Yorke was twice married:
Firstly, on 19 May 1755 to Katherine Blount Freeman, with one son:
Philip Yorke, (31 May 175718 Nov 1834) became 3rd Earl of Hardwicke;
Secondly, on 30 December 1762 to Agneta Johnson, with children:
Charles Philip Yorke (12 Mar 176413 Mar 1834) was later to be prominent in government.
Caroline Yorke (29 Aug 176526 Jul 1818), who married John Eliot, 1st Earl of St Germans.
Joseph Sydney Yorke (6 Jun 17685 May 1831), who became an Admiral in the Royal Navy.

His wife was heiress to Tyttenhanger House, near St Albans, Hertfordshire.

1. Have the option clicking. The Lobos live on their defense, which ranked first in the Mountain West Conference against rushing and scoring and was first in sacks. Head coach Rocky Long is a defensive wizard, but will 40 days be sufficient time to digest Navy's tricky spread option attack? New Mexico will have to be extremely disciplined to counter it.
2. Desire will play a huge role. The Midshipmen are adamant about winning a bowl game for the first time in eight years and have played with their usual dedication and tenacity all season except for one slip at Tulane. New Mexico has lost in bowls two straight years and was embarrassed by Oregon State, 55-14, in the Las Vegas Bowl last season. Greater intensity will be crucial.
3. Maximize use of possessions. Both teams like to grind it out with the running game, take charge of the clock and keep the ball away from the opposing offense. Navy cannot afford to fall behind by too much too soon or it will be taken out of its offensive strength. Ditto New Mexico.
The option will face one of its most severe challenges. In their past four games, the Lobos allowed only 107 rushing yards in 138 carries, with 24 sacks contributing mightily to the paltry total. Navy will not change its approach, feeling its way to find which of the alternatives is working best.
Some opponents have been successful at a relative shutdown of fullback Kyle Eckel, the first option, but found themselves vulnerable to others, primarily the runs of quarterback Aaron Polanco. Rutgers was burned by a passel of Midshipmen slotbacks, who rushed for 247 yards in a 54-21 Navy rout.
New Mexico has a gambling, physical defense that operates out of an unusual scheme, outstanding linebackers in Fola Fashola and Nick Speegle, the co-leaders with 84 tackles, and a ball hawk in the secondary in Brandon Payne, who tops the nation in passes defensed and broken up.
So, the likelihood is that the gambling will sometimes pay off and sometimes cost the Lobos. It wouldn't be surprising to see Navy resort to some gimmickry in an effort to make New Mexico pay for overzealousness.
This will be a matter of bulk vs. speed. New Mexico has a massive front wall anchored by center Ryan Cook and tackle Claude Terrell that will outweigh Navy's front three by an average of more than 50 pounds per man, so it will mandatory that the three-man Midshipmen line create enough havoc to keep the behemoths from effectively blocking their linebackers.
The heart of the Lobos' attack is junior tailback DonTrell Moore, who has gained 3,667 career yards. He is strong, elusive and resourceful and seldom falls on first contact. Navy will have to get more than one man to him to bring him down in most instances.
Quarterback Kole McKamey is a threat to scramble, but basically this team prefers to pound foes into submission. Unlike pass-happy Texas Tech in the Houston Bowl last season, the Lobos throw sparingly and possess only one real deep threat, wide receiver Hank Baskett, far and away the team leader with 49 catches.
With the exception of Tulane, where two passes resulted in long-yardage scores, Navy's defenders have been effective at keeping the ball in front of them. They shouldn't have to worry too much about that this time.
Two of the underrated coaches in the nation, one an offensive guru, the other a defensive mastermind, will match wits.
Navy's Paul Johnson is beginning to gather recognition for resurrecting a moribund program that was 3-30 over a three-year stretch and is since 17-7 and in a second consecutive postseason game. He is now being mentioned prominently when coaching vacancies open, although the academy has him signed to a long-term contract through 2009.
A proponent of option football, Johnson is viewed by New Mexico's Rocky Long as the foremost authority on the subject. He is surrounded by a competent staff of assistants headed by defensive coordinator Buddy Green. Johnson was 62-10 and won two consecutive Division I-AA national titles at Georgia Southern before coming to Annapolis.
Long has the Lobos in a third straight bowl with a blue-collar style that stresses sound, low-risk offense and a swarming defense, his specialty. The past four seasons, New Mexico has gone 28-21 and been a winning program each year.
He is the first former Lobos player to coach New Mexico, having played quarterback on the teams with the two most prolific rushing seasons in school history (1970-71). He previously served as the defensive coordinator at Wyoming, Oregon State and UCLA.
With one more victory, he will tie Roy Johnson for the most ever at New Mexico (41). Unlike many college coaches, he does not have an agent, but he has been contacted about more enticing jobs.
This has been an Achilles' heel for Navy. Kicker Geoff Blumenfeld, who is from Granite Bay, Calif., about 60 miles from San Francisco, has made only three of 10 field-goal tries and has missed three inside 30 yards. He has also flubbed four extra points. The team also had difficulty punting, using a rugby style, earlier in the season, but Eric Shuey has somewhat stabilized the area after going to a conventional kick.
New Mexico's Wes Zunker is the squad's leading scorer after converting all 26 extra-point attempts and going 11-for-16 on field-goal tries. The punter, Tyler Gaus, averages a respectable 40.4 yards.
The kick return game is adequate for the Midshipmen, but not spectacular. They have not returned a kick to the end zone during Johnson's three-year tenure. New Mexico returned two blocked punts for touchdowns against Air Force.
Both teams finished strongly. New Mexico with five straight wins and Navy with a 96-34 scoring edge on Rutgers and Army--and three of the opposing touchdowns came when the games were long decided. It's been raining all week, so the teams' non-reliance on the pass will serve both well. The game should be fairly low scoring and rapidly played, with the Midshipmen eking out a victory.

In this episode, Odious deals (poorly) with his growing collection of age-related ailments by sharing his Vaudeville history with his listeners (of which there are none). He takes a musical journey from his first act as a single cell, to his birth on the Vaudeville stage, to his collaborations with big Vaudeville starts like W.C. Fields, Harry Houdini, and Josephine Baker.
Later, he celebrates beautiful acts of human kindness with a song about all the wars his great country participated in during his long, miserable career.
Then we have a special animal act — an acrobatic pigeon troop, and finally we are joined by Miriam Yoder, the premier Amish Vaudevillian in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Prepare for the worst, and expect even worse.


The convict Ronny Andre Marie pleaded guilty to the offence of trafficking in a quantity of 2.20 (purity 1.22) grams of a controlled drug namely Diamorphine (Heroin), a charge framed under the Misuse of Drugs Act (MODA) CAP 133. The said Act has been repealed by the new Misuse of Drugs Act 5 of 2016 (hereinafter referred to as the new Act) with saving clauses as contained in section 55 (1) of the new Act.
 In the case of Cousin v R SCA 21 of 2013 and in the case of Kelson Alcindor v R  SCCA 7, it was held that the Appellant should benefit from the change of law in his favour, along the principle of "la peine la plus douce." – See AubeeluckGangasing v The State of Mauritius  UKPC 13. The Appellants' sentences in both cases were reduced to be in conformity with the amended law which was beneficial to the Appellants. Further Section 51 (2) of the new Act states outstanding sentences under the earlier Act, must be reviewed in accordance with the new MODA.
 Therefore, based on the aforementioned case law and the law as contained in the new Act, it is the duty of this court to ensure that the convict benefits from the changes brought about by the new law.
 Under the old law the convict was liable on to a minimum mandatory penalty of 20 years imprisonment and a fine of SCR 500,000 for the said offence. Under the new Act there is no minimum mandatory term of imprisonment for such an offence. I further note from the facts before me that aggravating circumstances as set out in section 48 of the new Act, do not exist in this case. Further as the quantity is below 250 grams, the offence cannot be considered to be aggravated in nature. Therefore the convict will be entitled to the benefit of remission under the new Act and will not be subject to a minimum mandatory penalty of imprisonment nor an indicative sentence.
 I have considered the plea in mitigation made by learned counsel for the convict. The convict has pleaded guilty without proceeding to trial, thereby saving the time of court and by doing so expressed remorse. The convict is a first offender. Having considered the plea in mitigation made on behalf of the convict, I observe the convict in this case is 39 years of age and a father of two children and has expressed remorse and regret by pleading guilty at the first instance. I have also considered the fact that the pure quantity of heroin taken into custody is below 2 grams.
 On consideration of all the aforementioned factors, I proceed to sentence the convict to a term of 12 (twelve) months imprisonment and a fine of SR 10.000/. In default of payment of the fine the convict will serve a term of 3 months imprisonment which will run consecutive to the term of 12 months imprisonment imposed in this case. Time spent in remand to count towards sentence.
 The convict is entitled to remission at the discretion of the Superintendent of Prisons.

Undocumented Immigrants Good for Tax Base, Could Be Better
Tags: DACA, economic impact, immigration legislation, payroll tax, sales tax, taxes, wages
The debate to try to find an immigration reform bill that can get 60 votes has started in the Senate. One persuasive argument that is rarely made in favor of granting undocumented immigrants more permanent status is the economic one. Even now, undocumented immigrants pay taxes despite getting no services in return. They pay sales tax, and a 2016 study shows that approximately 50 percent pay income tax. In 2013, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy contended that undocumented immigrants accounted for $11.6 billion in state and local taxes.
The study goes on to assert that the lack of legal status prevents undocumented immigrants from contributing more. "Multiple studies have shown that legal immigrants have higher wages than undocumented immigrants, thus gaining legal status could lead to a boost in wages," the study says. "The wage boost is in part due to better job opportunities that would be made available to workers with legal status and also in part to an increase in higher-level skills and better training." The study shows that if they had legal status, the undocumented immigrant population would add more the $2.1 billion to state and local tax revenues. In Louisiana, that would amount to an increase of more than $13 million, and in Mississippi, another $5 million.
Other studies show similar results. A 2010 study of the impact on federal taxes found that newly legalized workers would account for an additional $4.5 to $5.4 billion in the first three years, and as it becomes less dangerous for undocumented workers to leave the underground economy, many would find jobs that would deduct payroll taxes for the first time. A 2014 study contends that
If deferred action were extended to the 3.7 million undocumented immigrants who are parents or legal guardians of minors that are U.S. citizens, legal permanent residents (LPRs), or are DACA eligible, it would generate a short term $6.8 billion increase in labor income, more than 160,000 jobs and $2.5 billion in new tax revenue.
During his campaign, Donald Trump's proposal to deport more than 11 million undocumented immigrants in a two-year time span would cost between $100 billion and $300 billion. Since his election, Trump's shown little passion for an action of that scope, but the bottom line is that deportation costs money, while studies consistently show that there are clear economic upsides to making it easier for undocumented immigrants to work legally.
