The first time I met with my spiritual director after entering the Jesuits, he asked me how I pray. One of the things I mentioned was regularly rattling through Hail Marys. I told him that I tend to pray them throughout the day – on the bus, on walks, during dinner – whenever. I also tend to pray them during set times of prayer, and sometimes with the Rosary.
I remember being embarrassed by that response. I felt like I should have been engaged in "deeper" forms of prayer – meditation, contemplation, or imaginative prayer with scripture. But I had little experience with those. I felt that my prayer was in some way inadequate.
I prayed Hail Marys because I didn't know how else to pray. I'd had other experiences of prayer, but when it came down to it, rattling through some memorized words was the easiest way for me to pray when I knew I needed to or when I felt a desire. The Hail Mary and the Rosary were like training wheels, and I thought eventually they'd come off.
I still say Hail Marys all the time. Most often, I say them in times of stress or anxiety. When I am walking into a room full of people, walking into a classroom the first day of a the semester, or waiting to get feedback on a paper I worked hard to finish. I pray them when I finish conversations with people on the street, every morning when I look at the cover of the New York Times, or whenever I hear news of someone's death.
It's not uncommon for me to recognize myself going through Hail Marys and wondering, "How long have I been doing this for?" My Hail Marys can be subconscious. Praying them seems to be my first reaction to most things. My Hail Marys and my Rosaries are frequently unexciting, unmoving, imageless, and emotionless.
Yet, there is a simple gratification in the touch of Rosary beads and the sound of ancient prayers. They don't bring me into an immediate conscious connection with God or His Blessed Mother. They often fail to satisfy a never-ending desire to hear God speak or to feel His touch. Sometimes, it is hard to even sense His presence in the moment of my rote praying. Nonetheless, I find that it continues to be a most valuable use of time and a sincere act of devotion. The Rosary is helping me learn that the fruit of prayer is quite often experienced outside of itself. Sometimes in completely unrecognizable ways.
I met Dorothy Day's granddaughter once. She left the Catholic Church when she was younger and eventually came back. When I asked her why, she told me that some old priest told her to pray the Rosary every day. She took his advice, and there you have it.
St. Therese of Lisieux said that the Rosary is a long chain that links heaven and earth. That feels true for me. Hail Marys and the Rosary are indeed like training wheels, but ones that I will need forever. They train my mind, my body, my eyes, and my heart to live as though I am linked to heaven. Linked by things that may seem meaningless – touching beads and uttering words – but that do have a supernatural effect on my life.
It is often the moments outside of my Hail Marys when I can most feel their impact. I notice a deeper calm, less anxiety, and greater peace. I can more easily see God at work because my Hail Marys so frequently remind me of His existence.
And so, I continue rattle to Mary my needs, wants, and fears. In turn, she helps me remember the long vision, the deeper desire, and the Fruit of her womb. Through my rattling to Mary, I'm reminded that there is much more to life than the present.


T Maclntyre/Colton Route, Grandes Jorasses, France of autumn or winter the rockfall is stilled, so it is reasonably safe. When this climb was first done in (975, it marked the beginning of an era of climbers looking for difficult seasonal ice on the great Alpine faces. It remains one of the most challenging routes of this nature, the enduring signature of two great English climbers-—Alex Maclntyre and Nick Colton.
Season: October through April, depending on the particular year Comments: To my knowledge, the Maclntyre/Colton has not been climbed completely free. The pitch above the small ice field that bisects the two runnels in the middle of the route is usually pure rock and has required some aid from pitons. Perhaps, in good conditions, you can climb thin ice on the face to the left. Another option might be to follow an ice-filled, foot-wide crack that rises from an upper-right-hand corner of the central ice field and connects with the upper ice field. This crack has been climbed by Jean-Marc Boivin as part of a route called Extreme Dream and is probably about M5 or harder. Approach: Take the train from Chamonix to Montenvers and walk or ski up the Mer de Glace to the Lescheaux Hut on the left bank of the Lescheaux Glacier. Alternatively, you can take the tdiphtriqut to the Aiguille du Midi and ski down the Mer de Glace to its junction with the Lescheaux Glacier, In either case, the Lescheaux Hut is your base for the climb, and reaching it will take several hours. In the morning it is another hour or so up the glacier to the base of the climb.
235 T Super Couloir Direct, Mont Blanc du Tacul, France up and left. An intricate rock pitch with some aid and a tension traverse left (AI2 or 3, M5) lead to a belay at the very bottom right side of the upper gully coming down from the left side of the highest ice field. Another moderately difficult pitch on rather steep ice (Wl4) leads to four or five pitches of lower-angle climbing (50° to 55°, AI2), which brings you to the rim of the upper ice field below the central chimneylike depression in the final rock headwall. Eight pitches of M4 to 5 mixed climbing follow this depression to a junction with the last pitch of the Walker Spur (M5 in winter conditions), and then you top out on the very summit.
Descent: The long descent from the Walker Spur is down the south (Italian) side of the mountain. Begin by walking to Point Whymper, the slightly lower point several hundred feet west of Point Walker. Follow a rib of broken rock and ice directly south until you can cross the bergschrund on the South Face ice field onto a glacier shelf. Cross the shelf to the right (facing the valley), underneath some ice cliffs. At the far end of the shelf is another rocky rib. Ascend it a short distance above the shelf to a fairly prominent notch. From there a rappel deposits you in a narrow, glacier-filled basin. Cross it down and right to a rocky prominence, which you descend until you find rappel anchors. Make a rappel or two and then continue down as directly as possible. Eventually you will connect with a trail leading to the little Italian village above Courmayeur, where it is possible to buy a well-deserved meal and a bottle of wine at one of several cozy restaurants. (Don't forget your passport and some money!) From here you can catch a bus back through the tunnel to Chamonix.

Agent or Referee? The Double Scope of an Architect's Role in Building Contract Administration
By Justin Cotton, Director, Lovegrove & Cotton.
As construction lawyers it is not uncommon that we may act for builders or indeed owners involved in high end residential construction. Many of these building contracts will be "Architect administered", meaning that the Architect who designed the construction will also be assessing tenders and then acting as contract administrator once the chosen Builder commences works.
This can be akin to walking something of a tightrope for an Architect, because the retainer agreement he has with the Owner/Developer will state that he/she must act only in the Owner's best interests, whilst the building contract itself says that the Architect must be fair and impartial when assessing the Builder's claims regarding payment and time.
The author does not go so far as to call this a paradox, or contradictory, but it can lead to tensions because this is a case of 'wearing two hats', at least as far as the building contract is concerned.
Typically the Architect's role will commence with the schematic phase and then traverse through the more detailed design, the obtaining of permits (planning permit approval and then the later building permit), the tender process (calling of tenders, assessing requests for further information, and then recommendation on a builder), then contract administration through to eventual completion of works and the 'final certificate' on payment owing between the contracting parties.
Some building disputes we have seen involving Architects comprise design defect claims over such matters as faulty air-conditioning, failure to adhere to Council planning requirements and even the design of floor slabs to ensure adequate sound proofing. It is also common though that the Architect is accused by one party or the other of failing to properly administer the building contract, thereby prejudicing a party's economic rights, or failing to properly corral a builder into satisfactorily carrying out defect free works.
In one building case the writer was involved in nearly 10 years ago, a woefully inadequate construction of 3 townhouses saw the Architect joined to the proceedings as the third respondent behind the building company and the registered builder director. There was compelling evidence of a failure to properly advise on the best candidate for Builder, the subsequent selection of a Builder that was not up to the task, the approval of various progress payment claims in the Builder's favour when the works had not been properly progressed to that stage, and the failure to send directions to the Builder to rectify faults in a timely way.
A regular building contract that is Architect administered is the ABIC Major Works and Simple Works (eg, the SW-2008H Vic) Contracts. If we take the SW-2008H form of agreement, clause A6 specifies the general scope of the Architect's function in administering the contract.
Subclause A6.3 says that the Architect is "the owner's agent for giving instructions" to the Builder. Such instructions could include what works to carry out by way of a variation or to rectify defects. Notably though, the subclause goes on to read: "However, in acting as assessor, valuer or certifier, the architect acts independently and not as the agent of the owner."
So what does this role of being an assessor, valuer or certifier involve? It refers to the assessment of progress claims by the Builder, and the valuation of the same, and also the assessment and valuation of claims for variations and requests for extensions of time due to delay. However, it must be said that in other aspects of contract administration, such as the direction of the Builder on interpretation of plans and other contract documents, the chairing of site meetings, requesting updated construction programs and directing the Builder to either vary an aspect of works or to rectify work items, the Builder is acting as agent for the Owner and must act in that Owner's best interests. This is what is meant by the dual role of referee on the one hand, and agent on the other.
A positive duty is put on the Owner (who appointed the Architect) to not compromise the impartial 'referee' aspect of the Architect's assessment function. In subclause A6.4 it is specified: "The owner must ensure that the architect, in acting as assessor, valuer or certifier, complies with this contract and acts fairly and impartially, having regard to the interests of both the owner and the contractor. The owner must not compromise the architect's independence in acting as assessor, valuer or certifier."
The responsibilities of an Architect are often consumer focused and given some definition (in Victoria) in the Architects Regulations 2004. The requirements include to act in a competent manner and to a professional standard. Duties include to 'act in the interest of his or her client or prospective client' and to 'not favour his or her own interest over that of his or her client or prospective client'.
Interestingly though, clause 10 of those Regulations (Administering contract conditions) says that "An architect who is commissioned to administer conditions of contract must do so impartially between the parties of that contract."
Therefore the dual function seen in the common ABIC architect administered building contract, is also apparent in the Regulations governing Architects.
Whilst, once again, it is not argued that this is an unworkable contradiction, it can prove to be a 'fine line' for a contract administrator. An agent for a party at law can be seen to have a fiduciary duty to that party (eg an owner), which is a legal concept giving rise to legal rights should an owner feel aggrieved. Conversely, there can be a legal duty under contract for an owner to not improperly sway the supposed impartiality of the Architect.
In practice we see as building lawyers, that there are many occasions where it can be said an Architect has either failed in his/her duty to an Owner or has failed to be fair and impartial in the assessment/valuation role. It is not always the case that the Architect is too close to an Owner (due to the retainer arrangement and agency implied into the building contract). Sometimes we see situations where an Architect ensures that their chosen Builder 'gets the gig' and then there is a failure to properly corral or administer that Builder when problems later arise.
I look forward to providing more commentary in relation to the legal rights and responsibilities of Architects and topical interests concerning Architects, as this year progresses.

Property taxes are insignificant to some and the bane of others' existence. The typical American household spends $2,149 on house taxes for their homes each and every year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and residents of the 27 states with vehicle house taxes shell out an additional $402 Thinking of these figures and the debt-fueled environment to which we have grown so accustomed, it should really come as no surprise that roughly $11.8 billion in home taxes go unpaid every single year, the National Tax Lien Association has found. Even though you are getting a auto from out of state, you are going to pay the sales tax to the state in which you are going to register the car—i.e. your property state. As you take into consideration these difficulties, keep in thoughts that purchasing the vehicle from a private party will be unique from getting it at a dealership, which can answer registry questions and present the vital paperwork. When you invest in from a private celebration, you have to deal with these troubles on your own.
We created an exception to the no-local-taxes rule for two states: New Hampshire and South Carolina. At 1st blush, New Hampshire appears like the most-tax-friendly place in the U.S. to invest in a car. In reality, it is a single of the least tax-friendly states (five-year total: $two,045) simply because charges assessed statewide by towns add a number of hundred dollars every year to what you spend. Similarly, in South Carolina ($1,633), a private house tax collected by nearby jurisdictions adds up.
Make certain the dealership is holding the auto for you, and that you each have all essential documents and paperwork to make the transaction smooth. Alabama ($508), Delaware ($695) and even Virginia ($725), where the auto tax has been a political hot potato, are kind to car owners for the reason that the sales tax price is three% or much less and subsequent yearly charges are kept low. When you happen to be buying a automobile out of state, probably the most effective piece of guidance connected to automobile insurance coverage is to contact your insurance coverage agent before you obtain the car or truck.
Commonly, when you happen to be obtaining a car from an out-of-state dealership, the dealer handles all title and registration paperwork for you. Of course, a great deal of this paperwork will be short-term, given you are going to require to title and register the car in your property state upon returning. If the inspection is not valid/accepted, or the car hasn't had one particular or comes from a state that doesn't call for one particular (and your state does), you will most likely want to bring your car in for a smog check prior to you can title and register it.
Most states charge a sales tax in year a single plus title and registration charges and, if applicable, plate fees, lien charges and emission costs. Then they levy a registration charge every single year. When total fees in years two via 5 are greater than the registration fee, it's generally because you spend an excise or house tax each and every year. Just about every state has a diverse methodology, usually based on a declining percentage of the original worth of the car or on a fixed percentage of a depreciating value.
Quite a few states demand automobiles to undergo and pass smog checks and emissions inspections just before they can be titled and registered in that state. Some insurance providers put clauses in current policies that cover newly purchased automobiles for certain periods of time to handle scenarios such as this other folks don't, and need you to obtain insurance on the automobile before you acquire it. Purchasing a auto out of state can get you a deal but could trigger difficulties when you try to register it in your dwelling state.
There are many exceptions to registering non-CARB automobiles in CARB states. For instance, right here are the DMV rules and exemptions for registering non-CARB automobiles in California. Note that after a non-CARB automobile has a lot more than 7,500 miles, it is no longer deemed new and can be registered in California, assuming it can pass the smog test. Even so, if you are buying remotely, and need to know if the car or truck conforms to CARB standards, you must ask the salesperson (or private seller if the vehicle has been driven less than 7,500 miles) to confirm that it is 50-state compliant. If the seller appears unsure, request a photo of the vehicle's emissions plaque.

Kenny Rittenhouse received a Bachelor's Degree in music from West Virginia Wesleyan College in 1988 and a Master of Music in Jazz Studies from the University of Maryland in 2006. He also did graduate work on trumpet and in jazz at the Eastman School of Music, and at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA where he studied with Roger Sherman of the Pittsburgh Symphony. Mr. Rittenhouse was a member of The United States Army Band (Pershing's Own) in Washington, DC. from 1990-2020. This is the premier band of the Army. He performed with The U.S. Army Blues Jazz Ensemble. As member of the Army Blues, he has shared the stage alongside Ernie Andrews, Kevin Mahogany, Lou Rawls, Wycliff Gordon, Doc Severinsen, Arturo Sandoval, and Sean Jones.
As a member of the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, he has toured nationally and internationally with jazz flutist Hubert Laws and vocalist Kurt Elling. As a past member of the Pittsburgh Jazz Orchestra led by trumpeter Sean Jones, he has shared the stage with Jazz legends such as Jimmy Heath, Ahmad Jamal, and Freddy Cole.
Mr. Rittenhouse currently holds the Applied Trumpet Instructor position at Morgan State University. Before teaching at Morgan State, he taught Jazz Trumpet at George Mason University.
For over 25 years Mr. Rittenhouse has led his own jazz quartet performing in and around the Washington, DC area with many great jazz artists including Larry Willis, Ralph Peterson, Don Braden, Buck Hill, and Steve Wilson, and Butch Warren. The Kenny Rittenhouse Ensemble is one of the hardest swinging jazz groups in the greater DC metro area. The group, under the direction of trumpeter Kenny Rittenhouse, was formed several years ago and has appeared in such venues as Blues Alley, Bohemian Caverns, and Twins Jazz Club. The group recorded their first release (a sextet) in 2006 titled "The Francis Suite". Their second release, recorded in February 2013 is titled "New York Suite". It's a hard swinging septet playing mostly original songs highlighting traditional straight ahead jazz with a bit of Funk & R&B in the mix.
The ensemble performs with intensity and fervor, focusing on the concept of "swing", paying homage to the blue note recording artist of the 60's. These gifted performers pride themselves on presenting bop/post bop styles and modern originals as well as establishing a report with their audience that few others produce.

Decks have gone from being a novelty to being very common. This is because better wood treatments make wood much more durable. While some decks are made with traditional redwood (which contains natural preservatives), the majority of decks are now made from pressure-treated pine.
Most decks are made of pressure treated pine. Good quality treated pine will last forty years or so before there is any substantial decay. However, discoloration and splintering can begin after only a few months. For this reason, most people take on a regular cycle of maintenance. Failure to do so won't cause your deck to rot, but your deck will most certainly become discolored and the surface will become rough and prone to splinters.
Do New Decks Need to be Sealed?
What Type of Maintenance is Recommended?
Approximately once a year, the deck should be checked for loose boards and protruding nails, thoroughly cleaned, and resealed. Cleaning involves the removal of dirt, algae, moss, and other organic matter. Resealing is accomplished applying a clear or semi-clear liquid sealant to all exposed surfaces. Homeowners can do any of these tasks themselves, but often don't do them as well as a professional.
Many professional firms now offer this service. Prices and quality vary considerably. Typically, deck cleaning and sealing expenses run from $300-$600. At the bottom end of that scale are a lot of firms that don't know much about what they are doing. Choose an experienced, high-quality firm.
What is Good Deck Maintenance?
The process begins with clearing the deck of furniture, toys, etc. Then cover fragile plants. Next, sweep deck free of large debris. Check carefully for loose boards and nails that stick up. Make any necessary repairs. Before beginning the cleaning process, make sure no children have access to the area.
In accordance with the directions that come with the cleaning solutions, it may be necessary to hose down the deck and surrounding area before applying cleaning solutions. The water can also help dilute any chemicals that may inadvertently come into contact with plants and grass. Even with mild solutions, care must be taken to limit the amount of solution that gets on nearby plants and grass. Many solutions contain bleach, which is toxic to plants when in concentrated form. The solutions can be brushed onto the deck using a broom or can be sprayed on with a power washer under low pressure.
After waiting the directed length of time for the chemicals to do their work, the deck should be thoroughly rinsed. This is the step where more power can be particularly helpful, as water under pressure more effectively rinses out both dirt and chemicals. However, too much pressure can gouge wood or cause the grain to become exaggerated. Within wood, the visible grain marks differences in density and hardness. Part of each grain is relatively soft wood. This softer wood can be rinsed away if too much pressure is used. At still higher pressures, even the harder parts of the grain can be damaged.
Once the deck is dry, put down tarps to protect plants, air conditioners and other items on which you don't want to get sealant. The level of protection needed depends in part on how you are going to apply the sealant. Sealant can be brushed on, rolled on with a paint roller, or sprayed on.
Spraying is the fastest by far, but is the hardest to control. Some sealants have color in them and will stain surfaces to which they are applied. Sealants are also rough on plants. While most plants won't be damaged by getting hit with wafting over-spray, direct hits can do real damage.
Sealants come in either water- or oil-based formulas. Professional sealants, which are typically superior, are oil-based. Some sealants contain stain to tint the color of the deck. Sealants with stain don't always deliver a uniform color across the wood, so try some in an out-of-the-way spot to make sure the results match your expectations. Good quality sealants contain ultra-violet sunlight protection to reduce the damaging effects of the sun.
There are new decking material options. Several companies make new decking materials that don't splinter and don't require painting or sealing. Most are made of plastic or a blend of wood and plastic. While widespread experience with the products is just now occurring, results look very promising. More expensive initially than the common wood products used today, they offer large savings over time due to reduced maintenance costs.

Microsoft has published a list of certified Windows Vista-compatible hardware , along with the software list it published last week.
Thousands of computer systems and hardware units are included on the list, which is growing longer by the day. Microsoft estimates that it will certify around 1,600 new units each month.
To be able to use the 'Certified for Windows Vista' logo the hardware has to be tested rigorously to ensure quality levels, full compatibility, high security, as well as good performance and stability.
Windows Vista-compatible hardware is split into two groups. The first, 'Certified for Windows Vista', includes hardware that is compatible with the premium functions included in some versions of Windows Vista , such as the Windows Aero user interface - not available in Home Basic - or the Network and Sharing Center. There is some confusion over this, but the criteria seems to be anything that's in higher versions of Vista, but not in lower-end versions.
The second certification, 'Works with Windows Vista', indicates that the hardware has been tested to work with any version of Windows Vista - even the most basic.
So before you rush out to buy any new hardware, make sure to check Microsoft's list to see if it's compatible with Windows Vista.

What have you been thinking about the whole Notre Dame news? ⠀⠀ After hearing what happened to Notre Dame I was very sad. That was a building which was standing almost 900 years. A lot of history, culture, art and work was in that cathedral. Work made from thousands of people in the last years. For me, it's a pity for all the work and history lost, and this breaks my heart. ⠀⠀ Yesterday I read a post from a German blogger. She was criticizing the fact, that the whole world was feeling for the burning cathedral and that so much money in so little time could get together. She started saying , that everywhere in the earth there are more important things happening, than this, but "nobody cares". ⠀⠀ Personally I think someone can be sad about this and about that at the same time. Just because something bad happens in Place A it doesn't mean I can't be sad when something bad happens in place B. You know what I mean? ⠀⠀ What are your opinions about it? I would love to hear it 😘 ⠀⠀ Ps.: This picture was in Venice at the Teatro La Fenice ( The Phoenix Theater). I thought this was a good picture to talk about it, since the Theater got destroyed twice because of a fire and had to be rebuilt from the ashes.

US dismisses Chinese objections to South China Sea mission
In this photo provided by the Philippine Coast Guard, a Chinese Coast Guard ship sails near a Philippine Coast Guard vessel during its patrol at Bajo de Masinloc, 124 nautical miles west of Zambales province, northwestern Philippines on March 2, 2022. The Philippines has sought an explanation from China after a Filipino military commander reported that the Chinese coast guard forcibly seized Chinese rocket debris in the possession of Filipino navy personnel in the disputed South China Sea, officials said Thursday, Nov. 24, 2022. (Philippine Coast Guard via AP)
BEIJING (AP) — The U.S. Navy on Tuesday dismissed Beijing's protests over a "freedom of navigation operation" conducted near a Chinese-held island in the South China Sea, in the latest incident drawing new attention to one of the world's potential military flashpoints.
The Navy said its guided missile cruiser USS Chancellorsville on Tuesday "asserted navigational rights and freedoms in the South China Sea near the Spratly Islands, consistent with international law."
China called the action illegal and said it mobilized naval and air assets to issue warnings and drive off the ship, a characterization the Navy and Pentagon disputed.
"I know that there has been some reporting that China essentially ejected our ship from the area, that is not true," said Pentagon spokesman Air Force Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder.
China said the U.S. Navy's sail "seriously violated" its sovereignty and security, and called it "further ironclad evidence of its pursuit of navigational hegemony and militarization of the South China Sea," the spokesperson for the Southern Theater Command, Air Force Col. Tian Junli, was quoted as saying.
"China has indisputable sovereignty over the South China Sea islands and their adjacent waters," Tian said.
The Navy's 7th Fleet, which is responsible for U.S. naval operations in the region, issued a rebuttal, calling it "the latest in a long string of (Chinese) actions to misrepresent lawful U.S. maritime operations and assert its excessive and illegitimate maritime claims" in the South China Sea. China claims the area virtually in its entirety.
"As long as some countries continue to claim and assert limits on rights that exceed their authority under international law, the United States will continue to defend the rights and freedoms of the sea guaranteed to all," it said.
The long-seething South China Sea territorial conflicts involving China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei have long been regarded as a delicate fault line in the U.S.-China rivalry in the region.
While the U.S. lays no claims to the strategic waterway, where an estimated $5 trillion in global trade transits each year, it has said that freedom of navigation and overflight is in America's national interest. The sea is also home to rich fishing stocks and a potential wealth of energy and mineral resources.
In March, U.S. Indo-Pacific commander Adm. John C. Aquilino told The Associated Press that China has fully militarized at least three of several islands it built in the disputed waters with anti-ship and anti-aircraft missile systems, laser and jamming equipment. He described it as an increasingly aggressive move that threatens all nations operating nearby.
Then in July, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken called on China to comply with a 2016 arbitration ruling that invalidated Beijing's vast claims on historical grounds in the South China Sea.
On a visit to the area earlier this month, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris reaffirmed Washington's commitment to defend the Philippines under the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty. She also announced additional aid of $7.5 million to Philippine maritime law enforcement agencies.
That came shortly after the Philippine navy alleged a Chinese coast guard vessel had forcibly seized Chinese rocket debris as Filipino sailors were towing it to their island.

Central American gangs raising fears in southern Mexico
TAPACHULA, Mexico (AP) — With threatening phone calls, burned minibuses and at least three drivers shot to death, street gangs more closely associated with Central America are imposing their brand of terror-based extortion on public transportation drivers in southern Mexico. Organized crime groups including the rival Mara Salvatrucha and Barrio 18 gangs have long maintained a presence along the border between Mexico and Guatemala, but Mexican authorities say their numbers have increased over the past year as El Salvador cracks down on gang members and their criminal enterprises. Drivers of the passenger vans and taxis people depend on for transportation in largely rural Chiapas say they live in fear for their livelihood, or their lives. They have raised the alarm, holding temporary work stoppages to get authorities' attention. The owner of one transport company in Tapachula has started moving with bodyguards. Some admit to paying the extortion, having seen what happens to those who didn't.

Q: Using Response.Redirect() to a relative path I'm working with ASP.net. My website is hosted within a subfolder test under the IIS root directory. So the url of default.aspx is http://localhost/test/Default.aspx. From default.aspx, I want to use Reponse.Redirect() with a relative path to redirect to another url within the same web site, http://localhost/test/whatever.
I tried
Response.Redirect("/whatever");

and
Response.Redirect("~/whatever");

Both of them redirect to http://localhost/whatever. Note that the Redirect method use  http://localhost instead of http://localhost/test/ as the base url.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

A: Sorry if I'm over-simplifying or misunderstanding your question, but have you simply tried:
Response.Redirect("hello");

A: Try:
Response.Redirect("hello");

also
Response.Redirect("./hello");

Enjoy!

A: Try this (my example is VB.net)
  Dim url As String = "~/SomeDirectory/SomePage.aspx"
  Response.Redirect(url.Replace("~"c, Request.ApplicationPath))

I like to have Utils.RedirectRelative("~/SomeDirectory/SomePage.aspx") in a class somewhere but I don't know how "good practice" that is.

A: The problem is that your application is not hosted in the directory test, it is instead hosted in the directory above it.  If you want the ~ (aka tilde) to work, you need to make test the virtual path to your application, at which point your host really will be hosted in test and Response.Redirect("~/whatever") will work.

After seemingly endless hours of hitting the books at the library and stressing about their future, students often ask themselves if they are on the right track. After all, one of the struggles of being a university student is trying to get some firsthand experience related to their studies. It's not just about padding resumes—it's reassuring to know what to expect in the job field following graduation.
With this in mind, a Canadian executive search firm, Odgers Berndston, created a program called CEOx1day. This program is designed to match third- and fourth-year university students with some of Canada's leading chief executive officers. This experience provides students with a rare opportunity to get an inside look at how complex organizations work and observe leadership in action at the top of the business ladder.
Mohamed Sidibe, a fourth-year commerce student and president of the Undergraduate Commerce Society, had the chance to shadow Allan Shapira, the managing director of Aon Hewitt Canada, a Toronto-based consulting firm.
On February 11, Sidibe woke up early in the morning to commute to Toronto. Upon his arrival at the Aon Hewitt office on King Street, Rosa Damonte (the corporate communications leader) warmly welcomed him. With a busy agenda set for the day ahead, Sidibe sat down and talked with the chief financial officer, Mo Ashore.
"We then met with his team, where we discussed about more technical stuff, which I really liked as I was able to relate some of my courses to the concept they were talking about," says Sidibe.
Sidibe was expected to meet and shadow Shapira for the rest of the day. He recalls that he "was really excited and also a bit nervous at the idea of meeting such a great leader".
Sidibe's first impression of Shapira was a positive one as Shapira welcomed him "with a great smile and a strong handshake". Any awkwardness or tension that may have been there immediately vanished when Shapira offered Sidibe a gift bag of AON and Manchester United–sponsored items.
"We then sat down and talked one-on-one, where I had the chance to tell him a bit more about myself, my different experiences, and my diverse background as well as learn more about his career and his path to CEO and his interests," says Sidibe.
Soon after, Sidibe and Shapira headed to the People Manager's briefing meeting, which was a preparation for the actual meeting happening later in the afternoon.
The People Manager's meeting is a meeting that Damonte and Shapira put together in order to communicate to the entire AON team the goals that they have for the year and their future projects and to also update them on their current performance.
"In that meeting, we reviewed the slides for the meeting, and I was told the role that I will be playing during this important meeting as the CEO for the day," explains Sidibe.
After this, Sidibe had the chance to connect more personally with Shapira, Ashore, and Damonte during lunch at the Ritz.
After lunch, the unlikely group took the subway to the Sheppard and Yonge Corporate Centre, where Sidibe got an inside look into how a business is run.
"I had the chance to learn more about the outsourcing part of the business and visit the call centre, as well as meet the managers and employees there," says Sidibe.
The People Manager's meeting comprised more than 200 managers (with 75 in the room and more than 150 via conference call). Sidibe was sitting next to Shapira, Ashore, and the chief of HR.
"My role during the meeting was to introduce myself and explain why I was present there. I also had the chance to introduce the next speakers and the topic they would talk about," Sidibe says.
He continues that he "was really impressed by the magnitude of the meeting and was lucky to see firsthand how a leader delivers his message and communicates to his team his goals for the company".
As the meeting ended, so did Sidibe's day as a CEO.
Sidibe believes that the CEOx1day program offered him an opportunity that a university classroom cannot imitate: an experience in the field and interacting with some of the most influential leaders of Canadian companies.

Canada Blooms 2019 has gone the way of the sweatshirt and ski jacket: Black. The blooms, evergreens and flowering shrubs were not black but pottery, brick pavers, railings, mulch, outdoor lighting and arbours were noticeably black.
Canada Blooms, running Friday, March 8 to Sunday, March 17, is Canada's premier flower and garden festival. The event is now held in Toronto at the Enercare Centre (formerly Direct Energy Centre) at Exhibition Place where the extensive displays can easily accommodate the more than 200,000 visitors expected through the garden gates.
Ticket holders walking into the front doors of Canada Blooms will immediately notice the lack of blooms and greenery. Instead, the first section of the show floor is home to the Home Show, where interested buyers are exposed to everything from the typical motionfull reclining chairs to motionless kitchen cabinets.
A second, smaller portion of the exhibition hall is a marketplace of sorts, where shoppers can buy garden gadgets, seeds, bulbs, and other interesting garden wares.
Keep walking and the entrance of the actual Canada Blooms is adorned with a huge heart shaped display covered in a multitude of orchid blooms. Next, the exhibition opens up to reveal a host of impressive gardens, designed and installed by several prominent Toronto landscape contractors.
What impressed me the most at Canada Blooms was the size and extent of each of the gardens. Brother Paul DeGroot, who hails from Connon Nurseries near Hamilton, and who annually volunteers for the event, tells me that it takes a full week to create the gardens. The attention to detail was evident in all the displays and the size of the plants and trees made it appear as if the gardens were put in place decades ago.
Another feature that did not go unnoticed by me was the ability of the gardeners to accurately time the forcing of the plant material, so difficult to do in the dead of winter. I attended Blooms on the first day, and I was told many of the flowers and plants were to be replaced midway through the week.
Landscape architects who designed the 2019 gardens are right on trend, bringing the colour black into the hardscapes and accessories at Canada Blooms. Gone are the green and orange shag carpeting of the 80's, the mauve and grey hotel carpeting of the 90's, and the beiges and khaki pants of the 2000's.
Black is an interesting colour, in that some folks don't consider black to be a colour. Years ago, we thought black was dismal and we reserved our black wardrobe for funerals. Today, the colour black suggests stability and trustworthiness which is why most people choose black when buying cell phones and why lawyers, accountants and financial advisors' closets are dominated by black.
Black is perhaps the easiest colour to match up. All shades of grey, charcoal and black work well together. In the flower garden, the colour black behaves almost like the colour green in that there is no bloom colour that clashes with black.

Watch: Two writers deliver stirring testimonials at LOA's 35th birthday party
Two authors with longstanding ties to Library of America paid eloquent tribute to the organization at its thirty–fifth anniversary celebration at the New–York Historical Society on June 7th.
Pulitzer Prize–winning biographer A. Scott Berg, editor of LOA's 2017 anthology World War I and America: Told by the Americans Who Lived It, recalled his excitement at acquiring the very first LOA titles from his local bookseller in Los Angeles in 1982. "These books were made for me," he told the audience, "and over the years they have proved to be incredibly valuable tools for me in writing nonfiction." Watch:
A former LOA Board member, Berg was recently made a Library of America Life Trustee. His complete talk at the thirty-fifth anniversary event is available on YouTube.
Later in the program, New Yorker staff writer Adam Gopnik, who edited the 2004 anthology Americans in Paris and was named to the Board of Directors last year, hailed LOA's openness to genre and vernacular writing. In Gopnik's view, that openness marks a significant expansion of Edmund Wilson's original idea of an American equivalent to the French Bibliothèque de la Pléiade.
What no one could have anticipated when the series was launched thirty-five years ago, Gopnik elaborated, was the "extraordinarily broad range and spectrum of literature that would be included in that American Pléiade. This was not simply a constellation of American stars; this is the entire American cosmos represented on paper."

In garbha upanishad, in what way the seven types of colors were classified? And what are the significant of it?
In garbha upanishad it says, the colors are basically of seven types viz., white, red, black, smoky gray, yellow and golden white." What are these seven types? How these are categories in 7 types?
How many verses are there in the Mukhya Upanishads?
How many upanishads were there traditionally?
Why is Isha upanishad in two recensions?
Who is offering prayers in Isha Upanishad and to whom?
From the last few mantras in Isha Upanishad, it is clear that all mantras are offered as a prayer? Who is praying and to whom?
Where is causal body in this analogy used by Swami Sarvapriyananda?
Upanishads are long texts. So it is useful to know to know the final message and implement the same in our day to day life.
Is there any connection between Vedas, Upanishads and Puranas? If there is a connection, any citation from scriptures of yesteryear's between the three?

Russian Banker Falls for FBI Trap, Pleads Guilty to Spy Charges
Written by FEDagent on 17 March 2016 .
In what sounds like the plotline for a Cold War-era movie, 41-year-old Evgeny Buryakov pleaded guilty Friday to conspiring to act in the United States as an unregistered intelligence agent of the Russian Federation.
Posing as a New York banker for at least four years, Buryakov, aka Zhenya, was gathering intelligence on the streets of New York City, trading coded messages with Russian spies who send the clandestinely collected information back to Moscow, according to U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara of the Southern District of New York in a statement by the U.S. Department of Justice.
In 2012, Buryakov unknowingly began meeting with an undercover FBI agent who he thought was an energy company analyst. The agent began supplying bugged binders to Buryakov in 2013, urging him to return them as soon as he was finished with them because they were sensitive and confidential, court documents say.
Over the next few months, FBI was able to record hours of conversations between Buryakov and other suspected agents.
The recordings "make clear" that the men "were operating as SVR officers by receiving taskings from Moscow, gathering responsive information and sending it back to SVR headquarters," the court documents say.
Federal law prohibits individuals from acting as agents of foreign governments within the U.S. without providing prior notice to the Attorney General. According to Department of Justice records, Buryakov never notified the Attorney General that he was an agent of Russia's foreign intelligence agency, known as the SVR.
According to court documents, "Buryakov operated under non-official cover, meaning he entered and remained in the United States as a private citizen, posing as an employee in the New York office of a Russian bank, Vnesheconombank (VEB)."
Buryakov's lawyer has yet to release a statement, and Buryakov will be sentenced on May 25, 2016, where he faces a statutory maximum sentence of five years in prison.

At Breck, because we join fourteen grades on our single campus, your child inherits and stewards cherished traditions — progressing from a wide-eyed preschooler to a wise senior among peers and adults who feel like family.
A dedication to commitment to character education, a desire to be responsible stewards of our community and our environment…they're all important components of the Breck culture.
Breck is an amazing school! The community is so welcoming and the teachers all always very helpful. Community is one of our core values at Breck and it shows. After a visit to Breck, many perspective students say that the thing they enjoyed the most was how welcoming, open and kind everybody was. While Breck can be challenging at times, your advisors, teachers, and other students are always there to help you every step of the way and guide your path to success. I've gone to Breck for a long time and I would never want to go anywhere else! They offer so many cool classes like ceramics, photography, many sports, and tons of AP classes that your teachers will help you get into no matter what. If you're still deciding whether or not to go to Breck, there are many open houses and programs that you can attend to give you more information, and I would 10/10 recommend!
Pretty standard high school... Likes to bill itself as being something special, and most students and parents seem to buy it. In truth, you could get a similar education at pretty much any of the other top private schools in the area. The real issue that Breck has is with their administration. With some exceptions, the top administrators are all rather hopeless at their jobs, completely incapable of connecting effectively with the school, and try to simply rest on the traditions that preceded them. Following the termination of our last, very capable head of school, there has been a swift decline in pro-Breck sentiment around the halls, and rightfully so. As you go down the totem pole to teachers and administration working more closely with students, the quality skyrockets, earning three stars despite the serious flaws.
I have been at Breck since 3rd grade now and I have to tell you that it is an all-around great school! The teachers are 99% helpful and I have only had one teacher that I was not a huge fan of. When people ask me: "Who is your favorite teacher?" I honestly cannot give an answer and when I do, I keep changing it. Overall, Breck is an amazing school and I am very grateful to have to have the opportunity to be a part of their community.

I am so glad Danielle has chased this dream and has become an amazing photographer. She is right where she is supposed to be!
I can't say enough about Danielle Bond Photography! If you are looking for a photographer stop looking, because you've found her! Danielle is a master at her craft! We have been going to Danielle for 3 years now, since our oldest daughter was a newborn. Every time we book a session with Danielle we are left speechless with her stunning work. We have memories that Danielle was able to capture forever for us. I promise you, you will not be disappointed! Danielle Bond Photography is the best of the best in the Denver area!
Danielle is truly an incredible, loving, and thoughtful photographer. My husband is in a wheelchair and some photographers struggle with finding ways to make our family photos look like others, Danielle does not. She does not steer away because of the chair but instead gets creative! She blocks out plenty of time to work with babies and our daughter Ellie loves her. For our daughters six month photos I told her I just wanted feminine and romantic pictures, and she brought the most perfect props. She is a natural and having her photos in our home is an honor.
We are so fortunate to have worked with Danielle for our wedding! She did such an amazing job, all of our photos are absolutely beautiful. She captured the night perfectly. She also was so easy to work with. She had a very relaxed vibe all night long which made things so much more fun. I highly recommend Danielle for all of your photo needs!.

Accelerate Homes work in exclusive partnership with some of Britain's oldest and most trusted fast home buyers. If you need to sell your house fast for cash, you have come to the right place! We have streamlined the processes and can connect you quickly with the right buyer to complete an entire sale in as little as seven days.
We understand selling your home can be a daunting process. That's why we have put together this guide on how to sell your house fast in Coventry. Read on to discover sale options worth considering, the process of selling your home fast and the scams you should be wary of.
If you're ready to sell your house fast for cash or would like a free quote, please contact us.
The most common way to sell a property in the United Kingdom is through an estate agent. In fact, currently 90% of the homeowners choose this path. However, an estate agent is neither the quickest nor smoothest option.
Selling through an agent often means your property remains on the market unsold for months on end. The average house in Coventry stayed on the market for 14 weeks, according to data collected between March 2016 and March 2017. And this doesn't include the additional four weeks required to finalise the sale. If you need to sell fast, this just isn't a viable option!
An estate agent may indeed be able to achieve the best possible price for your property. But this requires a high-quality agent with strong negotiation skills and a group of well-resourced buyers. Unfortunately, a high-quality agent can cost a small fortune. Furthermore, no matter how good your estate agent is, they will always charge additional fees, including transaction costs, solicitor fees and surveyor fees. These costs can all add up and may whittle away any or all of the profit you may make.
For those of you who need to sell your home fast and are looking for a smooth process, a quick home buyer could be the best solution. However, we advise doing your research as occasional homeowners in the past have been caught up in fraudulent schemes. Please read our guide on avoiding quick house sale scams.
Accelerate Homes partner with a select group of leaders in the market for a reason. We have one mission: to help homeowners achieve a quick, hassle-free sale, for the best possible price. Our mission is underpinned by the core values of professionalism, honesty, integrity, and duty of care.
If you're contemplating selling your house fast, all you need to do is pick up the phone or fill out our online form. We will connect you immediately with one our our cash buyers who are ready to answer all your questions and provide any assistance or clarification you need. Our recommended partner will give you an initial cash offer in as little as 24 hours. The initial offer will be determined using the current data on the real estate market in Coventry and a combination of property factors such as the size, style, condition and location of your home.
After the initial offer, the buyer will organise an independent RICS surveyor to visit your property and undertake a thorough assessment of your home. The RICS report comes at no cost to you and is included in the standard service.
At this point, our recommended buyer will make their final offer, which may increase or decrease per the RICS report. Once the final offer has been made, the buyer will not alter this. Please be mindful that while this is standard practice, corrupt cash buyers do exist and are known to reduce their final offer at the eleventh hour.
Provided you are happy with the final offer; the buyer will proceed to organise all paperwork and legal formalities. The only thing you need to do is confirm your preferred completion date. Our partners are committed to providing a flexible and efficient service that meets your needs. Whether you want the entire process wrapped up in a matter of days, or would like to space it out over a few weeks or months, they will meet your deadline.

Cheat Sheet: If you only read one thing today, read this The biggest and most popular stories on Feb. 11, 2015 Check out this story on IndyStar.com: https://indy.st/1E0fpmf

A woman found shot outside the City-County Building is in "extremely critical condition."
Police say the shooting didn't take place at the City-County Building, but the victim was found with multiple gunshot wounds inside a pickup truck near the building. "She's not expected to make it," Indianapolis Police Department Officer Rafael Diaz told The Star.
2. Josh Speidel's family holds onto hope.
It's been 10 days since the accident that put the Columbus North basketball star in the hospital. He's breathing on his own, but has yet to make a purposeful movement. "We believe that he will (recover). Every brain injury is unique," his mother said.
3. Matthew Tully double checked and yes, Glenda Ritz won the election.
As battles continue to rage between GOP lawmakers and the superintendent, Matthew Tully wishes "our political leaders could lead by example, accept that crazy thing called the will of the voters, and move on."
4. The Colts have released LaRon Landry, Andrew Jackson and Xavier Nixon.
The Indianapolis Colts made their first significant moves of the offseason Wednesday, and the primary victim was a high-priced, oft-criticized safety who never lived up to his weighty contract in two seasons with the team: LaRon Landry.
5. Anthem will offer free credit monitoring and identify theft protection for identity breach victims.
If you were affected, you'll be able to sign up starting Friday.

Spanked Footballers Harry & Dom are two of the teams top football players. However, they managed to lose the game by fighting!
Well Mr X is furious at seeing his team lose and demands to get some answers.
The two lads are still arguing and still being cocky! That all changes when Mr X has them naked and over his knee!
However, the spanking does not seem to be getting through to the lads as they are still squabbling.
So Mr X decides that if they want to hit each other they can do it there and then!
...and then Dom gets to spank Harry!
The final part is as was especially requested and paid for by the two footballer's team mates..
To properly get the message through, Mr X dishes out some hard slaps to each of the lads from his thick leather paddle!
"This movie was shot some time ago when Dom and Harry just joined Straight Lads Spanked. It was the first time they had seen each other getting spanked. To actually get them to spank each other took a lot of convincing but I hope you agree it was well worth while!


When it comes to fashion shoes for the city, you have to consider more than just the style and look of the shoe. When you are running in and out of buildings, walking for blocks and taking stairs all the time you need something that looks good but is also practical. You can't always just wear what you want the minute you leave the house, but rather have to plan for the day. This includes the weather and the season. There are a few fashion ideas to keep in mind that can help you stay on the right track.
All those who live in the urban environment, if it is a place that gets cold, need fuzzy boots. These are ones that have little to no heel and are easy to walk everywhere in. You can easily take stairs and they still look great with jeans or a skirt. You can even get them in multiple colors to add a bit of flare to what you are wearing or just to go with the outfit.
Many people carry the "fancy" shoes with them so as not to wear out their feet before they get where they are going. There is no reason to make your heels and toes suffer for your long walk. That doesn't mean you want to look like a bum while you are out on the town. Consider getting a few pairs of unique and interesting tennis shoes. You can get them in a variety of colors and styles in order to provide comfort while still giving your outfit a bit of a flourish.
When you pick out your high heels that make your legs look great but you need a way to get the heels to the place you plan to wear them. A shoe carry bag is the perfect way to get the shoes from place to place as well as a place to put your shoes you wear in transit. This bag can be just as important as any other purse or accessory. You need something big enough as well as with a long strap so that it is easy to carry. A variety of colors often help tie the shoes and the bags together and can tie the entire outfit together as a whole.
Kitten heels are a great way to make your legs look great even when you are in transit. The kitten heel offers more support and tends not to be painful. This means you can walk around as much as you need but still get the look of wearing heels. Ones with strong straps and wide toes tend to make things more comfortable.
Fashion shoes are an excellent investment. Protect that investment and your feet by wearing the fancy shoes only at the end location. Use your tennis shoes and other comfy shoes to get from place to place. Your feet will be grateful and your outfits will still be just as cute.

It's also a story of not just gay people; it's also about our straight brothers and sisters.It's about that horrible ache when you long for someone you know you can't have.She was more concerned about me having a happy life. I've done a lot of work around forgiveness with people that I've hurt and people I've not been honest with because of my sexuality." Billy Gilman—Hits include: "One Voice," "Oklahoma," "Warm & Fuzzy" Gilman is currently working on new music.You have to be able to do that in your own skin, and [my family] has seen me struggle with being gay my whole career. Another notable quote from his moving video: "If people don't like your music, that's one thing, but after having sold over five million records, having a wonderful life in the music industry, I knew something was wrong when no major label wanted to sit down and have a meeting and listen to the new stuff.It's especially an occurrence in the gay community because most of us grew up in a straight world." Sonia Leigh—Her new single "Put It In Your Pocket" has already received overwhelming acclaim Leigh is another example of the changing of the tides.
He made headlines in the summer of 2013, though, with the release of his music video "All American Boy," in which he examines romantic idealism. There hasn't been a male country singer as open as he's been, which is a great thing.However, it has been Kacey Musgraves' Grammy and CMA-winning "Follow Your Arrow" that has changed the world.Despite not becoming a bonafide radio hit, the music-buying crowd had something different in mind.Historically speaking, country music hasn't been as accepting for the LGBT community, particularly among the ranks of its singers and songwriters, as most other formats.But the tide began to turn in recent years, led with the outstanding work of Shane Mc Anally and Brandy Clark (both accomplished songwriters and musicians).Following her 2014 Grammy performance of the track, the song shot into the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs, a streaming/airplay/sales hybrid that calculates a song's overall popularity.
