Abstract: Alexandrium blooms in the northwest area of the Bohai Sea (Qinhuangdao coastal area), China, produce large amounts of toxins that could be enriched in shellfish and consequently harm human bodies. To understand the succession of the phytoplankton community structure during Alexandrium bloom events in the northwest area of the Bohai Sea off Qinhuangdao from April 2 to May 7, 2019, microscopy observations and high-performance chromatography (HPLC)-pigment analysis were performed. Sixty species of phytoplankton were identified, mainly diatoms and dinoflagellates. The abundance of Alexandrium reached the maximum on April 16 (3.3×103 cells/L). HPLC-pigment CHEMTAX analysis showed that the phytoplankton community was composed mainly of diatoms, dinoflagellates, prasinophytes, and cryptophytes. Diatoms were the main contributor to the total Chl-a pool. There was a downward trend for the proportion of diatom biomass to the total Chl-a pool, followed by an upward trend. The proportion of dinoflagellate biomass showed the opposite trend, whereas that of the prasinophyte biomass presented an obvious increasing trend. Temperature, nutrients, and nutrient structures were the main factors on the distribution of different phytoplankton groups in the study area as shown in the redundancy analysis. This work illustrates the succession of phytoplankton community structures during Alexandrium blooms and provided a theoretical basis for studies on the mechanism underlying the outbreak of harmful algal blooms in sea areas.

Merger of Siemens and Gamesa receives antitrust clearance
The merger of Siemens' Wind Power business and Gamesa has today received unconditional clearance. (Graphic: Gamesa and Siemens Wind Power)
The merger of Siemens' Wind Power business and Gamesa has today received unconditional clearance from the European competition authorities. Antitrust approvals have now been obtained in all required jurisdictions, and all the conditions precedent for the merger have been satisfied.
Subject to pending closing actions, Siemens and Gamesa expect to close the merger early in April, after the registration of the merged entity in the Vizcaya Companies Register. The new entity will have a worldwide installed capacity of 75 GW wind power. Siemens shall hold 59 % of the shares, Iberdrola 8 %, while 33 % will be free float.
"We have reached a milestone in our path to merge Gamesa and Siemens Wind Power and create a leading global wind player. This merger is designed to combine the complementary strengths of both companies to benefit our customers, shareholders, employees, and suppliers. I'm excited about bringing the new company to the market very soon," said Lisa Davis, member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG.
"An historic moment for both Gamesa and Siemens Wind Power"
"We're very pleased to have received unconditional approval from the European Commission. This is an historic moment for both Gamesa and Siemens Wind Power," said Ignacio Martín, Executive Chairman and CEO of Gamesa who will be the CEO of the merged company. "This approval brings us one step closer to turning our vision of creating a global leader into reality and forming a company with presence in all the important wind markets," Martín added.
The registered office and the global headquarters will be in Zamudio (Spain). The onshore business's corporate offices will be located in Spain. Offshore business's corporate offices will be based in Germany and Denmark. The joint management team of the merged company will take office after being appointed at the first meeting of the new company board.
Strongly endorsed from the beginning, the merger was approved by Gamesa's shareholders in October by a majority of 99.75%. In December, Spain's securities market regulator (CNMV) confirmed the merger. The new company will become one of the Ibex 35 largest industrial group at the Spanish stock exchange.
The transaction will create a global wind leader with an an order book of € 20.9 billion and revenue of € 11 billion, using pro forma data for the last twelve months as of December 2016. Adjusted pro forma EBIT totals € 1.06 billion and implies a margin of 9.6 %.
Volker Buddensiek
Siemens Gamesa will supply 567 MW to ReNew Power for two wind projects in India
Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has secured a new order in India from ReNew Power, India's largest renewable energy Independent Power Producer (IPP). The scope includes the supply of 270 units of the SG 2.1-122 wind turbines, with a total capacity of 567 MW, to two wind power facilities.
Wind Turbine Market to reach USD 70 Billion by 2024
The Wind Turbine Market is set to grow from its current market value of more than $50 billion to over $70 billion by 2024; as reported in the latest study by Global Market Insights, Inc.

What Is The Worst Airplane Crash In US History?
Yo Kass answered
The worst plane crash in US history was American Airlines Flight 191 scheduled to fly between O'Hare Airport in Chicago and LAX International in Los Angeles on May 25, 1979.
The DC-10 aircraft exploded shortly after takeoff - killing 258 passengers and 13 crew members on board.
Until the 9/11 attacks, Flight 191 was the largest loss of life in American airspace. The disaster still remains the deadliest non-terrorist fatality in the United States.
Why the crash happened.
Pylon rigging securing the engine to the left wing was damaged due to poor maintenance, and this resulted in the engine tearing away and damaging the wing and hydraulic fluid lines.
Whilst the left wing was left unusable, the right wing continued creating lift - which tilted the aircraft at a lethal angle, causing it to crash-land next to a trailerpark at the end of the runway.
Despite it being proven that maintenance errors were to blame, the DC-10 model was grounded by the Federal Aviation Authority.
Nowadays, the aircraft stil enjoys use as a cargo carrier.
The Tenerife airport disaster was the collision of two Boeing 747 airliners on the runway of Los Rodeos Airport (now known as Tenerife North Airport) on the Spanish island of Tenerife, one of theCanary Islands.
With 583 fatalities, the crash remains the worst accident in aviation history, and the second-worst air disaster of any kind (after the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001).
The collision took place on March 27, 1977, at 17:06:56 local time.
The aircraft involved were the 747s of Pan Am Flight 1736 (the Clipper Victor) under the command of Captain Victor Grubbs, andKLM Flight 4805 (the Rijn) under the command of Captain Jacob Veldhuyzen van Zanten.
Taking off on the airport's only runway, the KLM flight crashed into the Pan Am aircraft taxiing on the runway in the opposite direction.
Kathy Castillo answered
The worst airplane crash in United States history occured on May 25, 1979 when flight 191 left from O'Hare Airport .
The plane was an American Airline and occurred at 3:02 PM, about thrity seconds after take off. Upon take off, the engine on the port side of the plane fell off, the plane fell from 400 feet and about a half of mile from the runway.
The plane exploded on impact, killing everyone aboard and 3 additional people who were on the ground.
Approximately 271 people were aboard the plane. It was later determined American Airlines were not following the McDonnell Douglas procedures for removing engine pylons for maintenance (nor were they required to).
McDonnell Douglas' instructions involved removing the 13,500 pound engines from the pylons (which hold the engines on the wing) and then removing the nearly 2,000 pound pylons.

"Uri…", produced by RSVP Movies, is releasing on January 11.
Actress Yami Gautam, gearing up for the release of her forthcoming film "Uri: The Surgical Strike", said the Indian film industry makes less patriotism infused films.
Yami interacted with the media when she visited a radio station to promote "Uri – The Surgical Strike" along with her co-actor Vicky Kaushal here on Thursday.
The film is based on the Indian Army's 2016 surgical strikes inside Pakistan-administered Kashmir, in retaliation for the Uri attack.
"We anyway make less patriotism infused films, so after a long time the audience will see something like this which is based on a very important true event. We really hope the audience loves the film," Yami said.
On the audience response to the film's trailer, Yami said: "There is happy nervousness and excitement about the release of the film within our team. The kind of response we have been receiving for the trailer of the film is really amazing.

Can a venue give away your spot if you asked to put it on hold?
I have been working so hard doing all this wedding homework and nobody gets how mentally exhausting it is. I have been researching the most cost effective ways, charts, and have been telling my fiancé, and my parents that we need to book soon. We fell in love with this one venue - visited with the twice and asked to hold 2 dates but 1 in particular. The reason was that we were waiting to hear back from the church for our ceremony. I told them hat once we were to hear back, we would book with them this week. I got an email today and the coordinator informed me that our date was taken... a group came in and took the venue and date we wanted. I'm devastated. My bridesmaids and people in the business told me that the venue should've notified us first, especially because we were so close to booking it. I see it from their point of view- it's businss, however, my words were, "we are interested on this date. We need to get confirmation from the church first and once we do this week, we will book won't you." She just emailed me and said a group came in and took it. Now, my fiancé doesn't even want to do business with them, even given the "plan b" date. Thoughts? UPDATE: I would've understood if they said, "we cannot do holds at all but if you're interested, let us know the dates but we can't do holds, meaning, if someone came in and was interested in the date you wanted, we would not be able to hold it for you" Instead, they said that they could hold the dates for us bc we still needed to hear back from our church. We had an agreement that they would hold those dates but I guess it was never a "hold". We all interpreted and were made to believe that "hold" by them was that they would keep those dates off limits bc we just needed confirmation from the church this week. We got confirmation from the church today and were planning to book with that venue today, as well but whatever. This probably wasn't meant to be Other venues I've visited (which were numerous) were very honest and upfront about it and had worded it this way. I understood it from the get-go and got it. These people were so "laid back" and said, "yes, we can hold these dates for you, especially bc you'll give us an answer on Wednesday. And we understand how churches are." So that is why we felt duped.
Money down or it's not yours. That's business. It sucks, but that's how it is. EDIT: On second thought, it actually doesn't suck. Really think about it. You asked them to hold a date but offered them no incentive to do so. This other group turned up, asked to hold the date, then offered money as incentive to do so. Money keeps the venue's lights on. It was never your spot because you offered no incentive.
You should have cleared it with them first. Asking to hold 2 spots is asking for too much in my opinion. Did you leave a deposit? Sorry, but as you said it's business.
The first one there with the deposit, wins. They can't lose a confirmed sale because you "might" want that date.
Hurricain
Whoever ponies up the money gets the venue. You didn't give them a down payment. That means they don't hold your date for you...when someone came in wanting that date and laid down the deposit money, they got it. I'm sorry but that's just basic business 101. "He who hesitates is lost" Suppose you were trying to sell your used car for $1000. A very nice and sincere young lady looked at it, drove it, told you she really liked it, and would buy it in one week, come payday. Another person who saw your ad looked at the car and wanted it too; they offered to give you $100 cash and bring you the rest tomorrow. Would you sell them the car, or wait for the first girl's payday next week? What if next week came and went, but the young lady didn't come back to you with the money? She called you and said sorry, she was going to come with the money, but her baby got sick and had to go to the ER, and now she had a big medical bill to pay and could no longer afford to buy your car. What if you called the second person, and they said they had already bought a different car? You'd be stuck with a car that you could have sold. See where I'm going with this? "In God we trust...all others must pay cash"
They didn't give away your spot. Since you did not put a financial deposit on that date it's not your date. It doesn't matter what you verbally ask them to do. What matters is did you provide a deposit to hold that date for you.
Unless you put money down, it's not held. You should of asked if you could put the deposit on the date you want, if you need to change it, they will not charge you more, within a reasonable time period. Some might do that. Unless you put a deposit on a date, they can not hold that date.
That's how it works, dear. They book the party that's ready to place their deposit. If they'd held it and your church date fell through, they'd have lost a sale. Eta: Wait, you asked them to hold TWO dates with no deposit, on the off chance one of the two worked out? Wow, that took brass.
You have to usually pay money to hold a date. Other venues for weddings: botanic gardens, parks, restaurant banquet room, hotel banquet room, luxury yacht rental, vacation house/ mansion rental, apartment banquet room, backyard, amusement park banquet room, church dining room, Civic center, public library banquet room, country club, beach, mountain resort, your house
You have learned a valuable lesson. You should have had the CHURCH "hold" a date prior to finding a venue. AND, a deposit at the venue would have held it for your reception, regardless of any loose verbal agreement while you were finding out about the church. Yes, without a written contract, a venue can and will book a reception for the party that pays first.
If you want someone to blame, blame the coordinator at the church. You can't expect anyone to hold a date for you unless you've paid not only a deposit, but likely half the payment due. Nothing is a contract unless there is consideration given from each participant, and you had given them nothing. For your information, EVERYONE who has gotten married and not eloped has gone through what you are now. It's not as special as you think. There's an entire industry devoted to making everyone's wedding "unique" and "custom" and "special", and as complicated as possible. If you think this is too much, wait until you are married.
Ocimom
Yes. Unless you put down a deposit to hold the venue, verbal holds don't mean a darn thing. Sorry.
You were not duped. You had no written agreement. They had no obligation to call you. "We all interpreted" That was your mistake. I don't know of any wedding venue that would hold a date without a deposit If they verbally told you they would hold until Wednesday you could go in and speak to the manager. At this point I would not use them. Live and learn. Get it in writing.
If you put money down then yes, but it sound like you didn't. They're a business, they can't hold dates because you "might" take the date, especially when there's someone in front of them saying they want it. Do you know how many people say they're going away to think about it, waiting on something or some one. Not their problem. Why didn't you put some money down if it was just between two dates.
Of course... It wasn't your spot. It becomes your spot after you have patient your initial deposit and have a signed contract. If you didn't do that, that date what available to anyone who wanted it and did what was required to actually hold it. They were under no obligation to inform you the date was no longer available. You either need to find another venue or see if you can change dates at your ceremony venue. Your fiance is being ridiculous over it. They are running a business and they don't have time to sit around and wait for people who "might" lock in their date. Time is money. When I was wedding planning, the ceremony venue was more important to me than the reception one was. I got a few dates with them that it was available and they did hold the dates for me (but this is a church that I've been a member of for many years) and then I looked at venues and what date those were available. I locked in my date at the venue and then told the church what day I needed so they could release those other dates for something/someone else.
It's a business. While this is the first wedding you've planned, they've done plenty. Your interpretation doesn't make sense, particularly since you know from talking with other vendors that a deposit is customary. "So close to booking" means zero. Can't tell you how many times salespeople have spent hours with brides at salons, bakeries, florist shops, caterers, only to have the bride never return. Brides are polite, enthusiastic, etc. and...find a caterer, florist, gown they like better. Can't tell you how many times we've actually *fitted a gown* and gotten the phone call to pull the pins, the wedding was off, or she was going to wear it as is, or she found someone to hem it cheaper. If you think planning a party for yourself is mentally exhausting you are certainly not ready for something as serious as marriage. PS. Good luck to you. Your fiance sounds petty.
sheloves_dablues
Of course a venue can give away your spot.. The first one there with a firm commitment (money) wins.
Foofa
Actually anyone who's ever planned a wedding gets how mentally exhausting it is. You're hardly the only individual who's ever had to do this (which is why there are professionals who do this for a living). But generally speaking, until you put down a deposit no venue or vender is required to hold your date for you. At this moment though your problem is with the groom not the venue, as it sounds like the venue is willing to try to accommodate you on a different date. It's your future life partner you have to convince.
BeatriceBatten
If you didn't put down a deposit and sign a contract, then they had no legal or moral obligation to hold the date for you. So, of course they "can" give away this spot because it wasn't "your" spot in the first place! They are a business, and their priority is to book dates and make money. A promise from you doesn't pay their bills. You're an adult now, and it's not their job to hold your hand and explain every little thing to you and do everything in their power to spare your precious feelings. If you feel they should've called you first to give you a final chance to book, fine, but they technically did nothing "wrong" here. The date wasn't "yours" because you did NOTHING to hold that date. Asking them "Hold it, pretty please!" doesn't mean jack squat to them. If you wanted it so bad you should've put down a deposit to hold it while you made up your mind. Again, you're an adult and you should've known better ... if you don't know by now that a deposit is needed to "hold" something, then it's not their job to teach you that. It's up to you whether or not this is a dealbreaker for you. If you don't like what they did, then by all means look for another venue. But they didn't "betray" or "dupe" you or go back on a business deal if you didn't put down a deposit. It's not their problem if you couldn't make up your mind or secure your church date fast enough. They have employees to pay and bills to pay, dear. They did nothing wrong here. Just because the other venues you visited were so accommodating doesn't mean that this place is automatically bad or shady because they didn't blow smoke up your butt as well. Again, IT'S A BUSINESS. They're not your friends. They get a TON of couples every week who come in and say, "OK, we want XYZ date, we'll be back soon with a check" and then they never show. They'd be out of business in a heartbeat if they held all those dates and turned away people ready to book ASAP. Stop complaining and either put down a deposit for this place, or find a new one and put down a deposit quick before you lose that one too. But, again, STOP COMPLAINING.
money talks, when you run a business like this, I am sure they get a lot of "i'll get back and let you know" this is the reason for a deposit
If you don't pay any sort of deposit for it, they sure can. It's not your spot until you've paid for it.
In the world of business, money talks. It's likely the other couple came in and agreed to sign the contract to have their wedding reception there on that date. It would have been nice for them to call and tell you that they had another inquiry, but if you had still been unsure at that time they would have given the date away. Sorry you're so disappointed. I'd grab plan b!! Just read all your updates - I wonder if maybe if the date was given to another couple by a different employee of the venue? Do you think that's possible? Maybe the employee you spoke to wasn't involved in the later transaction. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Wedding planning is definitely stressful. Just try to let this go now - you're getting married (be happy)!

Death of Saint Euthymius, son of Saint John the Iberian who were both born in Georgia, Russia. With his father, Euthymius, known as "the enlightener" or "the illuminator," helped his father build monasteries on Mt. Athos for the Iberian monks and succeeded his father as abbot. He died on his way back from Constantinople when he was thrown from his mule along the steep mountain path leading to Athos.
Richard the Lionhearted (Coeur de Lion) and his crusaders, aided by King Guy of Jerusalem, attack the infidels on Cyprus.
Amerigo Vespucci leaves the harbor of Lisbon on his voyage to the New World. Though Columbus was there a few years before him, America would be named after this Portuguese explorer and navigator.

Cardinal Ratzinger inducted into the French Legion of Honor
Proclaiming him as a man of passion towards his faith and a guiding light between Germany and France .the French Ambassador to the Holy See bestowed the honor of the French Legion of Honor on Cardinal Joseph Ratsinger, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith and the Holy Father's right-hand man. The award was presented to the German red-hat at the French embassy in Rome. For more, click on Cardinal Ratzinger
FRENCH GOVERNMENT HONORS CARDINAL RATZINGER
VATICAN (CWNews.com) -- Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was today installed as a Commander in the French Legion of Honor, in a ceremony at the French embassy in Rome. In accepting the honor, the cardinal said that he had always admired French culture, and mentioned his youthful acquaintance with Claudel, Bernanos, Mauriac, Peguy, Anouilh, and Sartre. But he saved his highest plaudits from the theologian Henri de Lubac, calling him "the embodiment of true Christian humanism."
The French ambassador, Jean-Louis Lucet, saluted Cardinal Ratzinger for his own work in theology, and for his work on behalf of the Church in France-- which he characterized as "sometimes turbulent, always passionate." He told the cardinal, "thanks to people with your qualities-- thinkers of your depth and high spirituality-- the friendship between France and Germany is stronger and livelier."
When East borders West, never shall the twain meet, nor permission for married priests in Pope's homeland.
Many could foresee this coming with the breakdown of the Iron Curtain with the fusion of the Ukraine as a free neighbor and the imigration of Eastern-rite Ukranian Catholic worshippers into Latin-rite territories of Poland. Such is the case of Poland, long a Roman Catholic stronghold where Eastern-rite traditions have been chipping away at the Roman traditions. It has reached a point where Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Angelo Sodano has said "enough!" To conform with canon law, he has issued an edict to the Apostolic nuncio of Poland requesting him to ask the Ukranian Catholic bishops to remove married priests from Poland, even though they site the exception made in the Czech Republic and Romania. For more, click on Poland.
VATICAN SAYS NO TO MARRIED EASTERN-RITE PRIESTS IN POLAND
POLAND (CWNews.com) - The Austrian Catholic news agency "Kathpress" reported on Friday that the apostolic nuncio to Poland, Archbishop Jozef Kowalczyk, wrote to both of the Ukrainian Catholic bishops in Poland, Ivan Martyniak and Teodor Maykovic asking them to remove legally married Eastern-rite Catholic priests from Poland.
Kathpress said the demand came from Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Angelo Sodano. The move caused considerable commotion both in Poland and Ukraine. According to canon law for Churches of the Eastern Rite, the ordination of married men is allowed. However, the reported request from the Vatican says that the paragraph of the canon law governing the issue is valid only in traditionally Eastern-rite countries, but not in the countries where Eastern-rite Catholics have immigrated. If true, the directive would mean married Eastern-rite Catholic priests would be able to continue their pastoral work in Ukraine, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Macedonia, but not in Poland.
The problem arises from the fact that the border between Poland and Ukraine has changed a number of times over several centuries, so it is a question of how to define the traditional regions of Eastern-rite Catholics. Archbishop Ljubomir Husar of Ukraine said the directive from the Vatican is "absolutely strange" since the activities of legally married and ordained Eastern-rite priests have been questioned before. He also said the directive is surprising since the Latin-rite in the neighboring Czech Republic received permission for the ordination of married men when Catholic Church had to exist underground until the fall of Communism. After the end of Communism, a special Eastern-rite diocese was erected so that these married priests could continue their ministry under the canon law for the Eastern rite.
Asian Synod offers over fifty proposals for Pope
As the Asian Synod comes to a close today, a list of 52 recommendations will be submitted to a set post-synod committee and then submitted to the Holy Father in hopes of gaining more solidarity for the Church in Asia while seeking more autonomy with their various cultures and other faiths unique to Asia from Muslimism to Buddhism to Hinduism and Shintoism. Many were emphatic that they do not want European cultures forced upon their countries which brings up the question how they feel about a European Pope to whom they pledge their loyalty and fidelity.

VATICAN (CWNews.com) -- The special Synod of Bishops for Asia has produced 52 propositions, encapsulating the efforts of the participating bishops to summarize the challenges facing the Church in that continent.
After electing the members of a post-synodal council which will be charged with the task of editing the recommendations, so that they can be incorporated by Pope John Paul II into a an apostolic exhortation, the synod considered a series of amendments to the recommendations. A final statement from the synod, addressed to the peoples of Asia, will also be released on May 13, at the formal closing of the Synod.
Along with a number of issues that confront the Church throughout the world, the Asian synod included recommendations regarding the specific situations in China, Iraq, and Jerusalem, as well as more general recommendations about countries where Christians suffer persecution. The synod also took up the need for a "gradual" approach to evangelization in Asia, and the still more delicate issue of relations between local churches (including those of the Eastern rites) and Rome.
The difficulties facing the Church in China were on the minds of participants throughout the synod, particularly because the Church of mainland China was not represented; the Beijing government had refused permission for bishops invited by Pope John Paul II to travel to Rome. Hong Kong's Bishop Tong Hon, a frequent visitor to the mainland, had emphasized the need to achieve a reconciliation between the underground Church loyal to Rome and the government-backed Patriotic Association.
The question of peace in the Middle East, and the more precise question of the status of Jerusalem, also arose frequently. The bishops of the Middle East emphasized the fact that Christianity was born in their region, and that they represent the "Mother Churches" which produced the "younger" churches of the Far East. Finally, the synod heard an impassioned plea from Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Bidawad of Baghdad for an end to the embargo on Iraq, which he said is hurting the nation's people without affecting the regime.
On the question of the "gradual" spread of the Gospel, Bishop Valerian D'Souza of Poona, India, reported that all of the working groups of the Asian synod agreed on the need to proclaim the reign of Christ "without arrogance," and to avoid "intellectual categories which people do not understand." It is better, he stressed, to use "Asian categories"-- and better still to use the language of the Bible, which reflects the mentality of Asians, and which he pointed out "is how it all started."
Bishop D'Souza explained that the need to avoid "arrogance" reflects the reality that most Asians are reluctant to accept Jesus as the sole savior of the world; the indigenous religions of the continent, which recognize many deities, inculcate a very different outlook. For that reason, he said, Catholics must avoid judgments and condemnations of other faiths, and emphasize inter-religious dialogue. He also pointed to the difficult position of "Christians of desire" in some Asian countries-- people who want to accept the faith, but fear that they might be disowned by their families (in Hindu societies) or even prosecuted for blasphemy (in Muslim regimes) if they are baptized.
The discussion of the relations between local churches and Rome was a source of tension during the synod. Some bishops of the Eastern- rite churches stressed their separate liturgical and even theological traditions, and the importance of preserving their autonomy as a means of encouraging dialogue with the Orthodox churches. Other bishops lamented the habit of imposing European cultural traditions on their native lands.
Liberty Bell not all that's cracked in Philadelphia!
Philadelphia will no longer be known as the "City of Brotherly Love" but rather "anything goes" with the caving in of the City Council to pressure from Gay and Lesbian lobbyists to approve same-sex benefits, something fiercely opposed by Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua for it opens the doors to more aberrations against the foundation of holy matrimony and the values of life as God intended.

PHILADELPHIA APPROVES SAME-SEX BENEFITS ORDINANCES
PHILADELPHIA (CWNews.com) - Philadelphia's City Council bowed to a five-year campaign by homosexual activists on Thursday and agreed to enact a series of ordinances that extend health and pension benefits to same-sex partners of city employees, that exempt same-sex partners from the real estate transfer tax, and that ban on-the-job discrimination based on marital status.
Mayor Edward Rendell has said he will sign the measure. Same-sex partners of city employees would qualify for the benefits after proving they are in a "life partnership," including share bank accounts, dual property ownership, and insurance beneficiary designation.
Religious leaders, including Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua, oppose the measures saying they are part of an effort to get around laws against same-sex marriage.

Mind Museum Presents The Apocalypse Project Imagined Futures
Here's an interesting exhibit that's set to open tomorrow, April 25 at The Mind Museum:
The Apocalypse Project Imagined Futures is a speculative design exhibition that explores possible lifestyles as climate change continues to affect the planet. It aims to empower the public to embrace climate change as a personal challenge through the following exhibit areas:
T.E.M.P.S (The Ephemeral Marvels Perfume Store) presents: The Smell Bar of Vanishing Scents – a hypothetical perfumery set in the future that makes scents out of things that are disappearing as we know it in the present. Get to smell the ozonic freshness of coasts, which may be swallowed up due to rising sea levels!
Climate Change Couture: Volume 2, Manila - highlights potential climate scenarios through fashion design. Check out how the Barong Tagalog can adapt to the fickle city weather! Or how about a terno that can double as a floatation device during floods?
The Fadelist: Tracks of Endangered Sounds - showcases sounds that are disappearing because of climate change. Listen to the sounds of a koala bear... being drowned by the sounds of carbon-emitting vehicles
The Climatoscope: Futurescapes of Planet Earth - brings back the iconic Viewmaster from decades ago and allows guests to play with the nostalgic toy, this time with environmental images about Planet Earth.
The Planetary Poetry Board - is an interactive activity where guests are invited to create their own spontaneous poem. Roll the dice, land on the prompt, and write the first thing that comes to mind. So, what would you like to tell a blade of grass?
The exhibit, first launched in 2013 at ArtScience Museum in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, is the first solo exhibition by artist and scientist, Catherine Sarah Young in close collaboration with The Mind Museum's Curator, Maria Isabel Garcia. As an artist, scientist, designer, explorer, and writer, Catherine's work combines the arts and the sciences to create stories, objects, and experiences that facilitate wonder and human connection. The exhibition tackles specific questions: What are disappearing because of climate change? How do we adapt? How can we train ourselves to think deeper about the future of the planet?
Climate change is inevitable. It's already happening! So while we continue to spread the word and convert the public to live a greener lifestyle, it's also a must that we prepare for the future that climate change brings. This exhibit gives us a chance to imagine what it would be like. I think that this will be a cool exhibit to check out. The first exhibit I checked out at The Mind Museum was Da Vinci Exhibit during my first ever visit at the museum and I found that truly educational so I want to drop by Mind Museum again for this exhibit.
This exhibit will definitely be enlightening as the title connotes. Did you guys know that "Apocalypse" contrary to popular belief that it means end-of-the-world, the word actually means "disclosure" or "lifting of the veil" in its Greek origin?
If you're free tomorrow, you can check out The Apocalypse Project on opening day. Kids and adults alike can learn a lot from this! After all, saving the planet isn't a job for just one man. It should be a joint effort by all mankind.
Join them for a special MISSION APOCALYPSE activity. Participate in the scavenger hunt mission throughout the museum's exhibits and if you're part of the first 500 participants to complete all tasks of the mission, you'll get an Apocalypse Badge as Commander of the Apocalypse, defender of the future.
All Day Pass tickets to The Mind Museum are on sale for only P450 until May 31, 2014. It's open
Tuesdays – Sundays, from 9am-6pm, with extended hours on Saturdays until 9pm.

Granite counters will give your home a modern look.
4 What Do I Need to Know About Granite Countertops?
Granite countertops are durable, long-lasting, and will add value to a home. Besides being convenient, granite countertops are visually appealing and can infuse a kitchen or bathroom with color and depth. Though this type of countertop is more expensive than other versions, such as wood, Corian and laminate, granite will outlast all of these materials. Granite can withstand dents, cuts, scratches and stains, making it ideal for well-used counters.
Although granite countertops are more expensive to buy and install than their traditional counterparts, they may be durable enough to last as long as your home does. You can save money by building or remodeling your home with other types of counters, such as laminate or tile, but those materials will deteriorate faster. If you decide to put your home on the real estate market, granite counters may be a strong selling point, making them a wise investment over time.
The granite countertop installation process differs from that of other counter materials. You may have to enlist the help of a friend or family member when installing the counters due to the substantial weight of the granite. Granite counters also occasionally require additional support, such as wood bracing. When cutting granite to fit, you'll need to use specialized tools such as diamond-encrusted cutting blades and masonry bits for drilling. You can sand and polish the granite's cut areas with sanding pads. If you don't have these tools, request that the manufacturer handle the prep work before sending the granite material.
Although granite countertops are easy to care for, they do require some maintenance. If your counters are nonabsorbent, you won't need to protect their surfaces with a sealer. To test for absorbency, allow water to rest on the surface for 15 minutes and then wipe it dry. If you notice a ring, the water was absorbed and you'll need to treat the stone with a sealer. To keep your counters attractive, wash them daily with a mild cleanser.
Since there are more than 2,500 varieties of granite countertops, you'll have no problem finding the product that best matches your home. Granite is available in a wide range of colors, such as pink, green, blue, black and brown, but the darker hues are typically more durable. Most granite countertops feature a shiny, polished surface, which will add elegance to your bathroom or kitchen.

Any word on his health update? Is he still interested in signing with us? This is if he's cleared.
I just don't see this at all.
Miller re-structured so he's staying and is a great blocker and can still get it done receiving when we ask him to.
Wilson is the outside receiver guy and the athletic upside Seattle loves.
As for the outside, Norwood and Richardson help address the lack of WR depth/weapons we had.
I see zero chance of Finley (even if healthy) signing with Seattle.
He's still at least a month (closer to 2) away from being cleared medically.
The Packers have left his locker intact. I'd say there's a 65% chance he signs with the Packers. There's a 30% chance he signs with us and 5% some other team.
I kind of agree with NFL_A though, I'm not counting on him to be a savior. I'm not even sure he'd be guaranteed a roster spot if he signed. He'd battle with Willson and McCoy for 2 spots.
I'm pretty sure he'll return to Green Bay.
One thing about GB is that they signed Lyerla and he will make the roster unless he buys some blow. Just way too much potential there. Then they drafted a 3rd round TE, so I feel like they have at least 2 spots locked up. I don't know if they'd want to go into the season with only 2 rookies and an injury prone TE. Unless they normally carry 4 TE's, I can see some logic in him not signing with GB.
Not that we're a great fit either, he'd probably only make the roster if there was an injury here in preseason.
I think so too there really is no room for him on our roster anyways.
