June 28, 2013 - Lain Lawrence, 53, a former UK airline pilot told a British court that the car accident that resulted in the death of his wife was a result of a leg spasm leaving him unable to drive properly. However, on Wednesday the court did not buy his story and sentenced him to life in prison.
On October 6, 2012, just two days before his divorce was to become final Lawrence carefully devised a brutal plan in which he took his wife Sally for a drive in his car in which he deliberately crashed the car into a tree which resulted in her death.
In Court Lawrence said his leg went into a "full blown" spasm sending an "excruciating" pain down to his toes. "It's horrendous. You can't move. I've just got to hold on for grim death. It hurts so much. "I put my right leg straight down onto the accelerator. Sally shouted 'What's happening?' because I was holding on tight at the time. I was trying to get my foot off the accelerator. I shouted 'It's my leg'."
The court surmised Lawrence had chosen a street that he was familiar with and that could accomplish his objective, he disabled the passenger air bag in his car and the act was committed on the weekend that their son would be away on a school trip. The court believes that Lawrence was able to convince his wife to take a drive with him either by deception or force.
The evidence in court showed that when Lawrence approached the spot which was to be the accident site he reached across and unclipped Sally's seatbelt. He then steered the car, the passenger side directly into a large tree at or above 50 mph. Lawrence had got into brace position before the crash and was protected by his seatbelt and his air bag.
Sally died of catastrophic injuries while Lawrence walked away from the collision with a few bruises. Lawrence would have gotten away with murder if it had not been for the careful and thorough investigation carried out by the police.
Evidence showed that Lawrence killed his wife because he could not accept that his marriage was over, he was determined that Sally would never leave him and by financial gain. Lawrence refused to accept that Sally through a divorce settlement would have received full proceeds from the sale of their home and receive other assets. He told Sally just a few days before her death that he believed by rights should entitled to half of the sale of the home and be allowed to keep the family assets. In a text message Sally sent to her daughter the night before she died she said "I know money isn't everything, but to him it is". UK's Leicester Crown Court found Lawrence guilty of murder and sentenced to 24 years in prison with no parole.


Very little Archaic Greek jewelry has survived from antiquity, although the large variety of diadems, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets in vase painting and on sculpture leaves no doubt that such ornaments were extremely popular in 6th and 5th century BCE Greece. This necklace is composed of cylindrical tubes, made from ribbed sheet gold, and drop-shaped pendants in pasta vitrea (glass paste). The blue, brown, green, and white layers of the glass imitate banded agate.
The glass beads and pendants of necklaces like these, made to imitate banded agate, seem to date to the Archaic period, although such simple forms were produced for many centuries and are hard to date accurately.
Barbara Deppert-Lippitz, Ancient Gold Jewelry at the Dallas Museum of Art (Dallas: Dallas Museum of Art in association with the University of Washington Press, 1996), 61; 136.
Composed necklaces are typical for the Archaic period in Greece. Because they were usually strung on perishable strings, the proper arrangement of the different elements of necklaces is often uncertain.


Georg was born in Germany in 1961 and studied as a stonemason in the marble centre of Europe in Carrara, Italy, where he honed his skills. His pieces explore space in the most sublime way, he creates incredible free flowing forms, abstracted lines, which interlock and curve graciously around a central point. What is remarkable is the sense of lightness, the fluidity of movement, which defies the hard medium of marble.
Georg Scheele has seen the great Modernist sculptures, such as Hepworth, Moore and Arp. These artists played with absence, where what is removed is just as important as what remains.
Scheele's work has a sensual delicacy, which spirals into itself, generating fascinating interconnections. These sculptures are poetic, they are tightly controlled yet are conversely loose and free. They confound our expectations of what marble carving should be in beautiful and brilliant ways.

The load per unit of original cross-sectional area at which a marked increase in the deformation of a specimen occurs without increase of load. It is usually determined by the sudden drop of the beam of the testing machine or by use of dividers or by means of an extensometer.
The stress at which a material exhibits a specified deviation from proportionality of stress and strain. An offset of 0.2% is used for many metals including steel. API 5L and API 5LX state that the yield strength shall be the tensile stress required to produce a total elongation of 0.5% of the gauge length as determined by an extensometer or by multiplying dividers. Usually expressed in pounds per square inch.

AHL POWER RANKING: Zadina gets Griffins back on track
Wed, 05 Dec 18 13:00:10 +0000
Patrick Williams Lead AHL Columnist
Starting this week and continuing each Wednesday, EP Rinkside will serve up a weekly AHL Top 10. This feature will focus on the leaders around the 31-team circuit with a look into their best prospects and their NHL-AHL player development picture.
1. CHARLOTTE CHECKERS (CAROLINA HURRICANES)
17-6-1-0 – 35 POINTS
This past weekend was a rare bump in the road for the Checkers, who have stormed their way through the AHL for much of the first two months of the regular season. First, Hurricanes forward Valentin Zykov was plucked from the waiver wire by the Edmonton Oilers. Last season with the Checkers, Zykov's 33 goals led the AHL, and he could have been a major addition for the Checkers, who sit 15th in the AHL at 3.42 goals per game. A tough five-game road trip started with back-to-back losses to the Providence Bruins and Hartford Wolf Pack, the first time that they have lost two games in a row all season. But they bounced back Sunday afternoon in a return trip to Providence, bombarding the P-Bruins with 47 shots, erasing a 2-0 third-period deficit, and winning the game in overtime, 3-2. Goaltender Scott Darling was sent down by the Hurricanes to find his game and started two of the three games on the weekend, allowing two goals in each start. Captain Patrick Brown is up to six goals this season, one goal off his seven in 68 regular-season games in 2017-18. This week they visit Hartford again and finish the trip visiting the Springfield Thunderbirds before heading home for a six-game homestand.
2. SAN JOSE BARRACUDA (SAN JOSE SHARKS)
Success starts from the net out with the Barracuda, who lead the AHL with a .763 point percentage. Their plus-25 goal differential through 19 games and 2.32 goals-against per game also top the league board. Czech rookie goaltender Josef Korenar continues his impressive introduction to the AHL. The undrafted 20-year-old, who played nine games last season with HC Dukla Jihlava on loan from the Sharks, is 8-1-1 | 2.18 | .922 and is pushing veteran Antoine Bibeau for work. Forward Francis Perron, an overlooked piece who went westward alongside Erik Karlsson in the trade with the Ottawa Senators, continues to impress. He is up to 9-11-20 in 19 games so far, putting him only six points off his AHL career high. The 2014 seventh-round pick by Ottawa came to San Jose for his crucial third pro season off a disappointing 4-11-15 performance last season for the Belleville Senators. If the Barracuda can put their power play on track (25th overall), that would be a further boost. Holding a six-game point streak (4-0-1-1), they start a difficult stretch of four of five games away from home Friday with a weekend home-and-home series against the Bakersfield Condors.
3. IOWA WILD (MINNESOTA WILD)
Something is better than nothing, and Iowa has made sure it a habit to at least get something for the better part of the past month. The Wild have a nine-game point streak (5-0-2-2) and have not lost in regulation since November 10th. They grabbed three of four points on a difficult two-game visit to the Colorado Eagles this past weekend, no small feat. Kaapo Kähkönen has taken over the number-one job in net with veteran Andrew Hammond out, and he has run with the opportunity, opening eyes across the AHL. Kähkönen won the CCM/AHL Goaltender of the Month award for November thanks to a 5-0-3 | 1.21 | .960 line. Minnesota took him in the fourth round in the 2014 NHL Draft and stationed him for three Liiga seasons in Finland, most recently with Lukko Rauma. With Iowa, his 1.45 GAA and .950 save percentage lead the AHL, he put together a 222:22 shutout streak, and his three shutouts tie him for the league lead. In all he is 6-1-3 in 10 games this season after slowly being worked into the goaltending rotation at the start of the season.
4. SYRACUSE CRUNCH (TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING)
The parallels to last season are eerie for the Crunch. Start slowly, explode in November, and put together a dominant stretch that digs themselves out of their early-season hole. In 2017-18, it was a 10-game win streak that overcame starting the season with four victories in their first 16 games. This season it has been a 10-0-2-0 run that has pushed the Crunch into the thick of contention – they are nine points behind Charlotte for the Eastern Conference lead, but they hold five games in hand. Much like the Wild did at Colorado, the Crunch were able to go make a difficult two-game trip profitable. They took three of four points in Cleveland against the Monsters thanks to strong work from Eddie Pasquale before he was recalled by the Lightning. Rookie forward Alex Barré-Boulet has a nine-game point streak (6-6-12), and is looking like every bit the find after being named the Canadian Hockey League Player of the Year in 2017-18 for the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (where he was also league most valuable player). As usual, veteran sniper Cory Conacher continues to pick apart the AHL. He has a 11-game point streak (9-15-24) and is second in AHL scoring at 27 points (10-17-27) in only 15 games. It has not been all good news for the Crunch, however. Key forward Michael Bournival's run of bad medical luck continues, a story that has plagued him for much of his career. After finally getting into the Syracuse line-up, he was injured this past weekend and will be out "long-term," according to Lindsay Kramer of Syracuse.com. The Crunch are able to stay home this weekend for a pair of game, starting Friday against the Binghamton Devils and continuing Saturday for a showdown against the North Division-leading Rochester Americans.
5. ROCHESTER AMERICANS (BUFFALO SABRES)
A hot start has given way to some cooling as the weather has cooled in Western New York. Without a doubt, the loss of blueliner Lawrence Pilut on recall to the Sabres is a tough loss for a group that earlier lost experience in Taylor Fedun in a trade to the Dallas Stars organization. But a strong start in Buffalo (save for a recent stumble) could be good for the Amerks, who have frequently fallen victim to roster instability in recent seasons when the Sabres struggled. Veteran Zach Redmond continues to be a force on the Rochester blue line, and his 13 goals put him only two off the pace of league leader Brooks Macek of the Chicago Wolves. They get two home games this week before the trip into Syracuse. After that, they will have a nice stretch of five of their next six dates on home ice.
6. MILWAUKEE ADMIRALS (NASHVILLE PREDATORS)
After a rare down year, the Admirals are back to their usual impressive form. The Nashville-Milwaukee connection has supplied some of the best AHL-developed talent over the past 15 years, and forward Eeli Tolvanen is the latest player to make that trip. The Predators recalled the 19-year-old, the 30th pick in the 2017 NHL Draft. He has a modest 11 points (4-7-11) in his first 21 AHL games, but it is very much worth remembering that he is only 19 years old and brought only one season of pro experience (last season with Jokerit Helsinki of the Kontinental Hockey League) with him to Milwaukee. The Admirals, who have won five of their past six contests, face a challenging two-game set at the Texas Stars on Wednesday and Friday before moving on to San Antonio.

7. LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS (PHILADELPHIA FLYERS)
The big question, of course, is how the upheaval inside the Philadelphia boardroom could shake down to Lehigh Valley. New general manager Chuck Fletcher takes over for Ron Hextall, who assembled one of the best prospect groups in the NHL. On the ice, change could hit the Philadelphia roster should the struggles continue. At that point, the Flyers' problems could well become the Phantoms' headache, too. However, the Phantoms continued to go about their business last week on a three-game Canadian road tour. Amid the gloomy week in Philadelphia came some happy news from that trip thanks to rookie netminder Carter Hart. Heralded as the Flyers' future number-one goaltender, the AHL has given the Western Hockey League star a rude introduction to the pro game. He had back-to-back weekends with rough starts against the Providence Bruins, but he put up a strong effort against the Laval Rocket this past Friday. After a night off in Belleville, he returned Sunday afternoon and held the Toronto Marlies to two goals on 35 shots. If the 20-year-old Hart can become the force in net, the Phantoms could be a force in the Eastern Conference. Certainly we already know that the Phantoms can put the puck in the net – their 4.10 goals per game lead the AHL while Phil Varone (28 points) and Greg Carey (26 points) sit first and third in league scoring, respectively. Their special-teams play has been excellent – Lehigh Valley is fifth on the power play and ranked third on the penalty kill. Cleveland visits Wednesday and Saturday with a stop-by from the Hershey Bears sandwiched in on Friday.
8. TUCSON ROADRUNNERS (ARIZONA COYOTES)
After years of losing AHL affililiates, the Coyotes are seeing success again at the AHL level. Last season the Roadrunners advanced to the second round against Texas, the eventual Western Conference representative in the Calder Cup Final. This season they have continued that success with new head coach Jay Varady and the loss of several key roster pieces. The recall of forward Conor Garland, whose 19 points (8-11-19) lead the Roadrunners, is not ideal from a Tucson perspective, but he has become one of the real development success stories in the Arizona organization. A powerhouse scorer in the QMJHL for the Moncton Wildcats, Garland was an Arizona fifth-round pick in 2015 who had a slow start to his AHL career from an offensive production standpoint. The loss of Tucson's 2017-18 excellent forward trio of Dylan Strome (traded to the Chicago Blackhawks), Lawson Crouse (since graduated to Arizona), and Nicholas Merkley (knee injury) opened up an opportunity for Garland that he has taken. The Pacific Division is rather intense, and the Roadrunners welcome the rival San Diego Gulls on Wednesday before receiving the Ontario Reign for back-to-back home games this weekend.
9. GRAND RAPIDS GRIFFINS (DETROIT RED WINGS)
It seemed only a matter of time before the Griffins would figure it out, and that wake-up call to the rest of the AHL has arrived. Detroit stocked up in the offseason AHL free-agent market, but the Griffins' decidedly mediocre 2-5-0-0 started was not what anyone in the organization had in mind. However, a five-game win streak and a seven-game point streak (6-0-0-1) has erased much of that October damage. A strong base of veterans has picked up the scoring load. After suffering through the Red Wings' early-season rocky start, Filip Hronek has benefited from additional time in Grand Rapids and has 4-10-14 in 16 games from the Grand Rapids blue line. Having just turned 19 years old, rookie forward Filip Zadina (7-8-15) is handling the move to the pro game from the QMJHL after the Red Wings took him sixth in the NHL Draft this past June. The Griffins need veteran Harri Säteri to return to form, though Czech free-agent addition Patrik Rybár has been a nice find for the Griffins. Starting Wednesday, they face a stretch of three of four games on the road
10. SPRINGFIELD THUNDERBIRDS (FLORIDA PANTHERS)
The Panthers' investment in experienced talent this past summer has paid off in Springfield. Long an organizational weakness, the Panthers have started to amass some intriguing talent at the AHL level and supplemented it with quality veterans. Florida's AHL scene is not in the elite crowd yet, but there are definitely signs of life stirring. Forward Jayce Hawryluk, something of a disappointment in his first two pro seasons, is starting to justify the Panthers taking him in the second round in 2014. He has 5-17-22 in 21 games, leading the T-Birds scoring ranks. Rookie forward Henrik Borgström (4-14-18), the 23rd pick in the NHL Draft back in 2016, is handling the transition well. Even at 25 years old, forward Anthony Greco continues to hang around in the prospect picture for Florida after a 29-goal season in 2017-18. After a slow start, he piled up five goals in three games last week, including a hat trick against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers last Wednesday. Florida re-assigned goaltender Michael Hutchinson back to Springfield this week just in time for a tough three-in-three weekend that features a home date against Charlotte on Saturday.

A 5-0 whitewash shouldn't have happened to the ICC Champions Trophy winners, who were equipped with the No. 1 bowler, No. 1 all rounder and the No. 4 batsman in the ICC ODI rankings. But that's exactly how it turned out as Pakistan ended a nine match unbeaten steal with only their third 5-0 whitewash in history. Pakistan have now failed to win a single ODI in each of their last three ODI series in New Zealand.
Pakistan have now failed to win a single ODI in each of their last three ODI series in New Zealand
Here are, from a statistician's eye, five reasons why Pakistan lost the ODI series:
1. Dot Balls
Dot balls are an important stat of the limited overs cricket which defines the performance of a team. The difference between the dot-ball percentages played out by both the teams shows a clear winner. 59.40% of the balls Pakistan played were dots, which accumulates to 122.4 overs of the total 206.3 overs Pakistan batted during the series. New Zealand on the other hand batted for 219.4 overs, which was just 47.57% of the total overs batted.
Pakistan's dot ball % was higher or equal to 55% of the overs played in each of the matches played, rising to an alarming 75.61% in match three where they were bowled out for a record low total. New Zealand's dot ball % comparatively remained under 50% in all matches.
2. The Not Oneselves' Trio
Since the start of 2016 till the end of 2017, the trio of Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik and Azhar Ali had scored 43% of the runs scored by Pakistan in ODIs, but neither of the batsmen could make it count during this series. The trio could only manage 92 runs combined across 12 innings, which is less than 10% of what Pakistan scored with the bat in this series.
3. The Ones, Twos and Threes
Non-boundary runs, define the mobility of batsmen and the agility of the fielding side. They exert pressure on the bowling side and also help to set a platform to charge at the later stage of the innings.
55.74% of the runs New Zealand scored off the bat in this series came from 1s, 2s and 3s. Pakistan could manage only 45.8% of their runs through such rotation of strike rate, which means that they depended too much on scoring boundaries.
4. The Ineffective Bowling Unit
The ICC Emerging Player of the Year Hasan Ali has been Pakistan's best bowler in all of their last four series. However, in this series he looked off colour and was even rested for the first time in his career. The number one bowler in ICC ODI Rankings conceded runs at a rate of 6.41 runs per over compared to his career economy rate of 5.11, while his series strike-rate also was worse than his career rate.
Besides him, the rest of the Pakistan bowling unit in general failed to exert any pressure on the Kiwi batsmen. No bowler except Mohammad Amir could bowl with a dot ball % above 55, something which every the Kiwi bowler except Todd Astle accomplished.
5. The Search for an Opening Pair
The search for a stable opening pair has already been a talking point among cricket pundits, Pakistan tried five different batsmen and four different opening pairs during the five match series. Faheem Ashraf, who has never opened in his entire professional career, was sent to open the innings against the likes of Tim Southee and Trent Boult. While Sarfraz Ahmed may have Fakhar Zaman's and Azhar Ali's injuries as an excuse, the desperation to find the right combination at the top is still evident in the Pakistan camp who have now tried 17 different opening pairs since the last World Cup.

Is the Word "Soccer" Waning? And Can America Have Two Footballs?
The World Cup begins tomorrow and the United States, simultaneously famous for its cultural diversity and its exclusive use of the word "soccer", is having something of an identity crisis.
The World Cup begins tomorrow and the United States, simultaneously famous for its cultural diversity and its exclusive use of the word "soccer", is having something of an identity crisis. Among soccer fans attending the US' final warmup game against Nigeria, a fan contingent that calls itself the American Outlaws began making waves simply by discussing the event in distinctly non-American terms. "They were the ones talking about the pitch (field) and the kit (jerseys) and the supporters (themselves) and who, when compelled to use the word soccer, were putting it in invisible quotation marks."
Completely unlike the rest of the world, soccer has long been something of an underground sport in the US. The jerseys are unrecognizable to most sports fans, the professional team names don't conjure up storied legacies, and the professional soccer league's star players are not really stars by most standards. Yet the world's most popular sport--call it what you will--is making inroads at the community level. The new American soccer culture is multicultural, multilingual, and more comfortable than usual with South American and European traditions.

England international, Billy Vuniplola has defended controversial Australian star, Israel Folau following his homophobic Instagram post.
It is understood that Rugby Australia intends to terminate Folau's contract after the much-maligned full-back wrote on Instagram that; "hell awaits" drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists and idolators. The image also states that "only Jesus saves".
Vunipola 'liked' Folau's post and took to the social media site himself this afternoon to defend the Australian after three people had rung him and requested he 'unliked' it.
There is likely to be major backlash heading Vunipola's way following the post.
Rugby Australia released a new statement today following a meeting with Israel Folau.
"Our joint position regarding Israel Folau is unchanged. As the meeting was held in confidence between the player and his employers, Rugby Australia and the NSW Rugby Union will not comment on the discussions at the meeting.

Q: Retrieving specific data from response data through python I am receiving data from a web service and its replying me data in html form.The response data i am getting is this dropdown:
<span>

        <select name="country" id="country" class="text " style="width:170px;">
                        <option value="">-Select country-</option>

        </select>
</span>

I need to further process on this data and get option values in python list.How can i select all country names and collect them into a python list?

A: Check out beautiful soup.
In this case, you could do the following assuming you had your html block in the html var as a string:
 >>> import BeautifulSoup as bs
 >>>
 >>>  html = bs.BeautifulSoup(html)
 >>>  html.findAll('option')

For even more syntactic sugar, check out soupselect.

A: import re

pattern = r"<option value=\"(.*)\" >"
val=re.findall(pattern,htmlCode)

val will contain a list of all values
Based on your example html code, the above regex findall should do the job for you, however if you are doing a lot of extensive html code parsing then usually regex are not an good option. But for a simple case like yours this is the best option.

St. Clare and St. Francis of Assisi: Role Models for Pope Francis and Women in an Egalitarian Church
Feast Day of St Clare of Assisi: August 11th.
St. Clare and St. Francis were close spiritual companions whose agenda of reform gifted the church with a new form of religious life and a renewal of Gospel living.
As St. Clare resisted the Vatican definition of religious life in the 13th century and became the first woman to write an egalitarian Rule of Life approved by the Church, so feminist theologians and women priests today are charting a new path toward Gospel equality in an inclusive church.
Let's hope that Pope Francis listens to the signs of the times and follows Saint Francis's and Saint Clare's example of Gospel partnership in a reformed, egalitarian church where justice is a reality for women and men in all ecclesial ministries and church governance including women priests.

Key US Sister: Vatican's LCWR Order 'Unacceptable'/Leadership Conference of Women Religious Should not Give Control over to Bishops
"A year and a half after the Vatican ordered the main representative group of U.S. Catholic sisters to place itself under the control of three U.S. bishops, many sister-leaders still consider complete compliance with the order "unacceptable," the head of the largest order of sisters in the Western Hemisphere said Thursday.
Many members of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) do not think they can give complete control of their group over to the bishops, Mercy Sr. Pat McDermott told NCR Aug. 1.
"The points of direction for the future, I think are unacceptable -- that the bishops would be looking at our materials, our publications, giving direction to the assembly," said McDermott, who as president of the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas leads about 4,000 sisters serving in the U.S. and 11 other countries.
"That's not a conference that most leaders want to belong to."
McDermott's comments come as LCWR, which represents about 80 percent of the 57,000 U.S. sisters, is preparing for its annual assembly, to be held this year from Aug. 13-16 in Orlando, Fla. About 900 women religious are expected to attend...."

"Grading Pope Francis' First Four Months" Sr. Maureen Fiedler/ What Grade Would You Give Him?
When the question finally came at the end of the interview, I said simply, "On style and tone and emphasis [on social justice], an A+. But on substance and all else, an 'incomplete.' " http://ncronline.org/blogs/ncr-today/grading-pope-francis-first-four-months
..."If he is indeed a reformer or a revolutionary, we have yet to see it. Coming still are his appointments to the Curia (or reform of the curial structure) and the appointments of bishops in the United States and elsewhere. He has yet to seriously tackle the fallout from the sex abuse crisis, especially with the bishops who did nothing to stop it.
And of course, Pope Francis' understanding of issues facing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and the role of women in the church has a long way to go. (I suggested on CBS that his contention that "the church has an inadequate theology of women" is certainly a true statement for the male hierarchy, and I might assign him some "homework": Begin reading the enormous body of feminist theology that has been enriching the church for decades.

"On St. Clare Feast Catholics Support Sisters, Pray for Authentic Dialogue" /Time for the full equality of women in the Catholic Church
WASHINGTON D.C. - Next week, hundreds of Catholic nuns are expected to gather in Orlando, FL for the annual meeting of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR).
On August 11, 2013 in solidarity with U.S. women religious, thousands of Catholics will join in prayer http://nunjustice.org/download/ on the Feast of St. Clare.
"The pope intentionally chose St. Francis of Assisi as his namesake, and he has shown himself to be open to dialogue" stated Erin Saiz Hanna, spokesperson for the Nun Justice Project. "St. Francis of Assisi's sacred friendship with St. Clare is well documented. St. Francis worked collaboratively alongside his sisters rather than against them. We pray Pope Francis, and Archbishop Sartain, will not only speak but listen and authentically dialogue with the sisters as St. Francis did with St. Clare."
LCWR, an umbrella group representing 80% of the 57,000 nuns in the United States, remains under scrutiny from the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF). In the spring of 2012 the CDF issued a statement accusing LCWR of promoting "radical feminist themes" and "corporate dissent," causing outrage among Catholics around the globe.
LCWR responded that the CDF statement was based on "unsubstantiated accusations' and the result of a "flawed process that lacked transparency." Last August, the organization's president, Sr. Pat Farrell, announced that "open and honest dialogue" would be LCWR's next step with Archbishop Sartain who had been appointed to oversee the mandate.
Last summer, nearly 70,000 Catholics signed a Change.org petition and hundreds organized vigils to rally around the sisters.
"Catholics around the country have been inspired by the faith and work of the sisters and will continue to support them; we urge Pope Francis to recognize their commitment and contributions and dismiss the mandate," said Jim FitzGerald, spokesperson for the Nun Justice Project.
As St. Clare and St. Francis collaborated as companions and ministers of the Gospel, it is my hope that Pope Francis will open a new path for nunjustice and for the full equality for women in the church. The entire church owes the nuns a debt of gratitude for centuries of generous service to those on the margins of church and society. May the hierarchy treat their Sisters as beloved companions and spiritual equals in ministry to God's people.

"What is a Theology of Women?"/Questions from a Ewe
http://questionsfromaewe.blogspot.ca/
..."Finally, I cannot end without commenting on Frank's statement regarding women's ordination. He said the church has spoken and said no. Frank, read your catechism; the church is the people of God. They, and thus the church, overwhelmingly say they want women priests. The hierarchy has spoken and that is a small, shrinking faction of the church. At last count, the entire clergy numbered around 413,000 out of 1.2 Billion Catholics worldwide. That is less than three one hundredths of a percent.
But even though this small faction of the church monotonously repeats falsehoods and sexist statements to preserve its sexist stronghold of power, Frank's statement is comical by the sheer fact that in the same interview he offered a 180 degree different viewpoint than Pope Bennie's views on homosexual priests. Frank, you know what Mary told me when you said that. Frank's just using an old trick of flattery to try to keep women doing most of the work in the church while he and his pals take most of the credit.
So, what would the church be without women? It wouldn't be like the apostolic college without Mary. That exists and thrives. Nor would it be like a day without sunshine. The church without women would quite simply be non-existent. Men cannot bear children. So, a church without women would be extinct. How long will women continue to enable a small, male minority of the church to dictate and define who God calls them to be? "

U.S. Archbishop Sartain, Vatican Appointed Overseer of Leadership Conference of Women Religious Will Attend Assenbly
Joshua J. McElwee | Aug. 2, 2013
http://ncronline.org/news/vatican/vatican-appointed-overseer-attend-lcwr-gathering
"The U.S. archbishop who was given expansive oversight by the Vatican of American sisters will attend their annual gathering in mid-August and will speak of his role as their church-mandated overseer.
Unclear, however, is whether Seattle Archbishop J. Peter Sartain will take questions from the approximately 900 women, leaders of the various orders of sisters across the country, who are expected to attend the event.
News of Sartain's presence at the assembly of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) comes amid continuing uncertain times for the group, an umbrella organization of U.S. sisters that the Vatican ordered to revise in April 2012 and gave the archbishop wide authority over its statutes and programs.
One former LCWR president said its members are preparing for this year's assembly with an "ominous feeling."
"We're going into this assembly knowing that there's a cloud over our head and that we are being investigated and they are going to be monitoring us," said Mercy Sr. Theresa Kane, who served as LCWR president from 1979 to 1980.
Sartain, Kane said, is "showing up, and he's staying for the entire assembly. It's monitoring. There's a cloud ... and we're living through it."
Leaders of LCWR and the individual institutes of U.S. sisters have expressed pain and confusion over the Vatican's move, made in a "doctrinal assessment" published by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith..."

"Pope Francis Comments on Women Suggest Reason for Optimism"
http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2013/aug/04/bonnie-erbe-pope-francis-remarks-about-women-for/
..."It is not enough to have altar girls, women readers or women as the president of Caritas" charities, Francis said. "Women in the church are more important than bishops and priests," just as "Mary is more important than the apostles."New scholarship during the past two decades has turned on its head church conceptions about proper roles for women in the hierarchy. Scholars are discovering early Christian women had much more power in the church, as apostles and as leaders of home churches — the only type there were under Roman rule, which banned Christianity."Karen King is one such scholar. She is a professor of New Testament studies and the history of ancient Christianity at Harvard Divinity School.
''Women held offices and played significant roles in group worship," King writes. "Paul, for example, greets a deacon named Phoebe (Romans 16:1) and assumes that women are praying and prophesying during worship (I Corinthians 11). As prophets, women's roles would have included not only ecstatic public speech, but preaching, teaching, leading prayer, and perhaps even performing the Eucharist meal. ... Women's prominence did not, however, go unchallenged. Every variety of ancient Christianity that advocated the legitimacy of women's leadership was eventually declared heretical, and evidence of women's early leadership roles was erased or suppressed."
To this day, women's early leadership roles are challenged and denigrated by many members of the church hierarchy.
Do I hope or believe Pope Francis will promote women to positions of real authority? Something tells me even he will not do that. But the fact he's talking about it at all is hugely significant."

Bridget Mary Meehan's Response:
I agree that it is significant that women were apostles and leaders in the early church and presided over the Eucharistic meal in house churches. Today that role is reserved for the priest. Now if we open up sacraments to the entire community as celebrants and both women and men are called forth by the community to preside, then we are back to the early church model. This is what Roman Catholic Women Priests Movement is doing in many grassroots communities, but I wonder if it is where Pope Francis wants to go! Bridget Mary Meehan, ARCWP, www.arcwp.org
"Nurturing Your Inner Mystic" by Bridget Mary Meehan, ARCWP
"Contemplative" or mystical prayer is popular today for people from different faith traditions and of no faith affliation.
This prayer focuses more on communion with God than on formulas or spontaneous prayer.
There is no right or wrong way to do it.
It is biblical. Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God."
In this prayer, we let go of words and journey to the still point of our being where our deepest self dwells in the Presence of God.
Here we are at home in the Divine Love that embraces, heals, comforts, and empowers us.
Here we let go, open our hands and hearts to being with God.
Resting, Relaxing, Listening, Loving...
In contemplative prayer, the Spirit of God prays within us, within our relationships, within the beauty that surrounds us and within the ordinary moments of living.
It is where we are one with All in God.
As we nurture the mystic within we become more attentive to the Wonder of Love within and around us enfolding and holding us.
Today, take a little time, even a few minutes to breathe, let go of your agenda and "to do" list. Rest and relax --- simply be with God.
( One "how to" is simply become aware of your breath, let go and let God love you. No need for words or thoughts or "prayers". A simple prayer word or phrase can help you focus on the Presence. Repeat it as needed to keep your focus on being in love with God who dwells within you and is in love with you and with all creation.)

Hi! We're Esme (bass and vocals), Sidonie (drums) and Henry (guitar and vocals).
2. When / How did you start a band?
We've been friends since we were all pretty young so started playing music together at an early age. It was only until fairly recently that we decided to take the band a little more seriously by playing shows and recording music etc. We started the band through the love of the same kind of music!
3. Who is the most strongest of the three?
Physically or mentally haha? Sid is the oldest out of us three so she keeps us on the straight and narrow!
Some of our favourites include; Twin Peaks who we played a local house show with a year ago, Tomorrows Tulips, Fat White Family who we played with in Canada which was a really cool experience, The Magic Gang, we've played a few times with Dune Rats which is always pretty fun, just to name a few!
5. Seems you have hard schedule sometimes. What is your booster?
Yeah when we're out on tour it can be pretty non- stop and hard to find time to ourselves as a band, however we like to break up the busy schedule with some good quality vegan food, we have a rule of no junk food on tour (or as little as possible at least haha), some good long talks and charity shopping.
6. Which band/artist do you respect?
There are too many! We respect any band thats sort of the same age as us and is making sick music as you have to be really dedicated to break through in this industry. For example bands like Trudy, The Showers, Babe Punch, Chest Pains etc are all doing great things and creating their own scenes which is rad. In terms of bigger bands we respect, The Beach Boys, and particularly Brian Wilson's production is a massive influence on us and we respect him so much for making such a masterpiece with Pet Sounds despite all of the troubles he faced.
We find inspiration in everything. A lot of our songs are based on the smallest detail or aspect of one object or thought. We are inspired by the things that make us angry, happy, sad and every other emotion. Reading books and watching films also helps to expand the possibilities for inspiration.
8. What is the music scene in your town like? Is it different from the scene in London?
The music scene in Halifax (our home town) is very small, however we are close to Leeds which has a thriving music scene and is where we would say we belong. It's different to the scene in London as it is more intimate and more like minded, in the sense that everyone supports each others projects. In London it is so much bigger so there are bound to be bands that go under the radar. Leeds also seems to promote a more DIY ethic in terms of music which we really respect.
We think Japan has had a great music scene over the years as we listen to a lot of Japanese funk from the 70's/ 80's such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Masayoshi Takanaka and Haruomi Hosono however we are yet to explore what Japan's current music scene has to offer!
10. What would you like to do if you got a chance to come to Japan?
We'd love to come and play some shows in Japan it would be a fun and different experience!
11. Would you give a message to your Japanese listeners?
Thank you, The Orielles, you are wonderful! Keep up the good work!

Yoga Nidra, is an immensely powerful meditation and deep relaxation technique. It is the conscious state between waking and sleeping. It is one of the easiest yoga practices to develop and maintain. Anyone can do it, from children to seniors, and there is no wrong way to do it.
Do you want to know a little more...?
The practitioner rests comfortably in savasana (corpse pose) and is taken though the the five layers of the self, Pancha Maya Kos(h)a-s. The fifth kos(h)a is the bliss state:-). The brain is functioning in complete awareness, but moving through the sleep state brain waves all the way to the Delta wave state, and beyond. The practitioner is able to set intention in this state and will be successful in planting seeds of change.
During Yoga Nidra the two hemispheres of the brain harmonize taking you into a state of wholeness this leaves you feeling deeply rested. It is said, 30 minutes of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 3 - 4 hours of sleep. Yoga Nidra is not to be used as a replacement for sleep, but as most of us are some what sleep deprived, this is a beautiful way to replenish our sleep account. Yoga Nidra practice can be 10 - 15 minutes, but for the practitioner to experience the benefits beyond deep relaxation the practice needs to be at least 30 minutes.
balance the brain chemistry, oxytocin, dopamine, melatonin, serotonin, and endorphins.
Although you will still receive the benefit of Yoga Nidra if you fall asleep, to receive the full benefit you want to stay awake. As you begin to replenish you self with a regular practice you will find it is easier to stay awake and conscious throughout the practice. If you are falling asleep it is a good idea to find one practice that you resonate with and stick to that for a while.

Sustainable Investing Glossary
EU Green Bonds Standard
The EU Green Bonds Standard is a planned certification scheme to ensure that financial products marketed as ' green bonds' can be verified as such. It forms part of the Sustainable Finance Action Plan which aims to promote sustainable investing across the European Union.
Green bonds have become a popular investment product, as their proceeds are used to finance environmental projects such as renewable energy or reforestation. They are typically issued by governments, agencies or supranationals, which means they can be bought across a wide spectrum, and not just from listed companies.
However, some green bonds are issued for spurious purposes such as building dams which cause more environmental harm than good. Others do not follow reporting guidelines which suggest (but cannot enforce) the publication of annual reports on what impact an investment in the bond has made. In this way, the investor cannot know that their capital is being put to the intended use.
In 2020, the EU's Technical Expert Group for Sustainable Finance provided recommendations for the establishment of an EU Green Bond Standard. This is a voluntary certification scheme which assures that the use of proceeds is fully aligned with the EU Taxonomy, which sets out the criteria for what is truly sustainable, using six definitions that will apply across the bloc. The EU Commission is planning a legislative proposal to adopt the standard in the second quarter of 2021.
Robeco launched Global Green Bonds in April 2020 to tap into this growing universe. The eligibility of green bonds for the strategy is based on an internally developed framework that targets those making a genuine environmental impact. A record amount of USD 222 billion in green bonds were issued in 2020, pushing the total amount now in existence above USD 1 trillion.

Chris Knowles, local hero for democracy, liberty and free speech. Anti Sharia. Islam, Islamic beliefs, political correctness: yes to Sharia.
Democracy, liberty,
NO SHARIA
FIRED FOR BELIEVING
IN FREEDOM
Chris Knowles is the local hero of the month. In other words, he's not one of the most famous counter-jihadis, but he's done a lot of important work.
Since 2007, he's been a director of the International Civil Liberties Alliance (ICLA), a human rights organization for democracy, freedom and individual liberty. Very moderate goals, one would think - except that a particular focus is sharia.
Recently Chris was fired from his city's Children's Services Department, with no grounds given except that his values were not those of the department.
No due process, nothing.
Yes, the firing is being appealed.
But it should never have happened - it's against the law.
A big question: in what country did this happen?
Great Britain.
Others openly believe in Sharia - which includes belief that a woman's word counts for half a man's - and keep their jobs.
Chris Knowles, in a supposed democracy, believes in mainstream Western values like democracy and freedom of speech ... and has been fired.
The country, once again: England. The year, once again: 2012.
What has Chris done? He helped organize a series of international conferences for ICLA. He helped develop the organization's mission statement. And he's played an important role in formulating the 2012 Brussels Declaration To Safeguard Individual Liberties and Human Rights.
Freedom of expression, according to Chris - this is the most important component of any free society.
He became involved in upholding this - and because of this, opposing Sharia - in the aftermath of the Danish cartoon crisis when the suppression of free speech became a serious problem.
How serious the problem is became even more apparent when he was fired.

Q: Bash echo-pipe into Mysql shell fails I have the following code as part of a script who's purpose is to duplicate a local website (in my Ubuntu 16.04 xenial server environment). The duplicated site's dir name, DB user name, and DB instance name is the same and is represented in the ${domain} variable, while the ${rps} holds Mysql root password, and ${sps} holds the duplicated site's DB user password.
The first part of the code works fine (echo and read). The second part fails (echo-| into Mysql shell):
echo "1/3: Please enter the domain of the site for duplication." && read domain
echo "2/3: Please enter the password for your Mysql root user." && read -s rps
echo "3/3: Please enter the password of the site's DB user." && read -s sps

echo "DROP USER IF EXISTS 'test'@'localhost';" | mysql -u root -p"${rps}
echo "DROP database IF EXISTS test;" | mysql -u root -p"${rps}
echo "CREATE USER 'test'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY \"${sps}\";" | mysql -u root -p"${rps}
echo "CREATE database test;" | mysql -u root -p"${rps}
echo "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON test.* TO test@localhost;" | mysql -u root -p"${rps}

The reason I echo and pipe Mysql commands:
It's done to ensure variable substitution for the ${sps} variable (variable substitution cannot occur inside mysql shell, so it must be done outside and sent into the mysql shell).
The problem
All echo-pipe operations fail, they start a secondary prompt.
My question
Why are the echo-pipe operations fail, maybe this is a regex issue?
Further details
The full code is available here.

A: I'm also voting to close this question, but as I had time, I thought I would write some more info that may help.
A number of small errors are made in your code samples.
It is not recommended that you pass a password in a terminal as all users on the system can see the operation and password. For example, with a simple request to ps auxwww.
A better option is to use mysql_config_editor to create a secure login that does not require a password when used from the localhost. You can then use something like mysql --login-path=master and no password is needed.
If you do really want to head down the passwords shown in plain text path, you should really use the long syntax, which is is:
mysql --password=plaintext --user=user --database=dbname < "mysql query"

Or
echo "mysql query" | mysql --password=plaintext --user=user --database=dbname

Or
mysql --password=plaintext --user=user --database=dbname << END

  mysql query to run;
  another mysql query to run;
  and another mysql query to run;

END

Or, possible the best looking at your code:
mysql --password=plaintext --user=user --database=dbname --execute='mysql query'

But, you should get a warning (which I can not remember now what is says) about the password being in plain sight or something.
To use one of you code samples, the script line would be (no echo needed):
mysql --user=root --password=${rps} --execute="DROP USER IF EXISTS 'test'@'localhost';"

Now why you code failed (as you now know).
The problem is " before the ${rps}. Removing that " will work - but I would not use that code at all as it has other potential issues.
For example, entering the following for the root user password when your script request the password:
password; -e 'DROP ALL DATABASES'

This would cause all databases to be removed (if I got the syntax correct).


On 15 February 2012, Germany notified the EU commission about a new aid scheme for the shipbuilding sector. The measure started on 1 January 2012 and will be limited to the end of 2013.
The scheme aims to promote "innovative shipbuilding in conformity with the new provisions on innovation aid of the 2011 Framework" (Letter from the EC to Germany, Brussels 10.07.2012 C(2012) 4823 fin). The 2011 scheme has extended the scope to "inland waterway vessels" as well as "constructions of floating and moving offshore structures". Shipyards may benefit from the scheme if they build, repair or convert "self-propelled commercial vessels".
The aid scheme does not apply to projects, for which the total aid amount exceeds EUR 150 per compensated gross tonnage for a ship or EUR 5 million for new processes. The overall contribution in the form of government aid is not clear at this stage.
"Given the existence of interstate trade with the internal market in the sector in which the recipients are active, the measure falls within the scope of Article 107(1)"(par 28., Letter from the EC to Germany, Brussels 10.07.2012 C(2012) 4823 fin).
Taking the original German text into consideration: the existence of interstate trade in this sector and the market activity of the recipient, the distortion of competition can also be considered as trade distortion (reasoning based on the German version of par 28., Letter from the EC to Germany, Brussels 10.07.2012 C(2012) 4823 fin).
The 2011 Shipbuilding Framework defines the conditions that allow "innovation aid" to the shipbuilders compatible with the common market, hence article 107(1) TFEU.
Germany agrees to adhere to the condition of 2011 framework ("Framework on State aid to shipbuilding") so that an exception according to article 107(3) can be considered.
The EU commission follows this reasoning and concludes that: "the notified aid scheme is compatible with the internal market", pursuant to Article 107(3) (c) TFEU read in conjunction with the 2011 Framework. The Commission has accordingly decided not to raise objections to the aid scheme for shipbuilding, "Innovative shipbuilding safeguards competitive jobs".

Home The Latest Road Safety Teaching Aid Calendar ready for new school year
Road Safety Teaching Aid Calendar ready for new school year
Admin 2 September 2, 2015 Press Releases, Stormont
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan has ensured that the road safety calendar has gone through the presses in preparation for the new school term.
Pupils from Ballyhenry Primary School accompanied Mr Durkan to Nicholson Bass print works in Mallusk to see at first hand the road safety calendar coming off the press.
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said: "Educating children and influencing attitudes and behaviours towards road safety is vital; and the first step towards achieving this is to instil good road user attitudes and behaviours in young people. What is learnt and put into practice at a young age forms the basis of behaviour in later life.
There are three versions of the calendar; early, middle and upper years; and every nursery and primary school classroom in Northern Ireland will be provided with a copy to use and display on the wall.
All three calendars show age appropriate photographs and road safety messages with a discussion note for the teacher. All aspects of road safety, including car safety, pedestrian safety and cycling safety are covered in a weekly message.
The calendar has recently been revamped with the addition of Hattie a friend for the existing road safety mascot Skooter. The new look calendar was Highly Commended at the recent NICCY Commissioners Participants Awards.
A survey of schools has shown that teachers and pupils make good use of the calendar and love the characters, local photographs and discussion notes.
Mr Durkan added: "The calendar is now in its 43rd year of production and during that time it has helped generations of children stay safe on our roads. As children turn the pages of the new calendar and read messages we hope that they will remember the importance of staying safe. One death is one too many. We need to ensure that we all work towards being safer road users."

Can hip-hop music make cheese tastier? Yes, says science!
Jordan Girardin
From Mozart to Led Zeppelin: it turns out that cheese wheels have their own preference when it comes to music!
This revelation comes thanks to the slightly odd-sounding Cheese In Sound experiment. The students and cheese makers behind this project posed the following questions: What would happen if cheese was exposed to various styles of music? And do sound waves have an effect on the taste and texture of cheese?
What the Cheese In Sound experiment tried to find out
I am sure you have heard of Emmental cheese. (It's the one with the holes.) Produced in the scenic Emmen Valley in Switzerland, this famous cheese turned into an object of science. In a collaboration with Bern University students from the Sound Arts department, the cheese makers of the Käsehaus K3 in Burgdorf wanted to prove that exposure to music has an effect on the way cheese tastes and feels like.
By placing eight identical cheese wheels in special boxes, then exposing them to music and sounds, the project wanted to determine how the taste and texture would evolve.
And to push the idea even further, the project applied eight different types of sounds, one each per cheese wheel:
Ambient: Yello – Monolith
Classical: Mozart – Die Zauberflöte
Techno: Vril – UV
Rock: Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven
Hip-hop: A Tribe Called Quest – We Got (the Jazz)
Sinus (low frequency): 25 hz
Sinus (medium frequency): 200 hz
Sinus (high frequency): 1000 hz
The Cheese in Sound experiment was a success, and the results are incredible
To assess whether these effects were real, a special panel composed of chefs, cheese makers, artists and business professionals had the (difficult) task of tasting and examining all the cheeses. Even the mayor of Burgdorf took part in the jury panel.
The results were clear: Exposing cheese to sounds of various pitches and frequencies does affect their metabolic processes. This, in turn, has an effect on the ultimate flavor of the cheese, generally making them milder than if they had rested in peace and quiet. Those effects can apparently be visualized using food technology.
Specifically, the texture, flavor and taste of each cheese sample varied according to the sounds it was exposed to. For instance, cheese exposed to hip-hop music or low frequency sounds "had a stronger smell and a stronger, fruitier taste than the other test samples."
These conclusions may seem really fun, but the team is pretty serious about it. Think about it: this project could open up new possibilities for culinary innovation!
So, the next time you hold a wine and cheese night at your apartment, you should carefully think about what music to play in the background...

Did you get "The parameter is incorrect" error message and cannot access your external hard drive, USB drive or SD memory card? How can you fix the "The parameter is incorrect" error without data loss? Here are some useful instructions can help you to fix the issue and recover your data.
As we know, sometimes, we tried to access files which stored on my hard drive, but we failed and got a warning message that saying "I:\ is not accessible, the parameter is incorrect". Why?
The parameter is incorrect, is probably the most common issue that's associated with hard drive or external storage drives. If you are having trouble with the error, you can go on reading the article to find out the helpful solution.
USB Port problem – the USB is the link between a computer and an external hard drive and once it is not functional, the hard drive might be damaged.
Improper removal of the hard drive – unplugging the hard drive from the computer directly damages the hard drive hence the cause of the error above.
Bad sectors on the external hard drive – one bad sector on an external hard drive might make the entire partition inaccessible. These bad sectors might damage the whole drive.
File system corruption –In computing, a file system is used to control how data is stored and retrieved. Once file system goes wrong, you may fail to access drive and receive some errors like "…the parameter is incorrect", "Data error (cyclic redundancy check)…", "Windows was unable to complete the format", etc.
