Fr. Nicholas Broadbridge is semi-retired, and offers spiritual direction and is a Benedictine monk at Douai Abbey for more than 60 years. He has run healing workshops, family healing session and retreats for the past 30 years. He will do a series of four seminars at St. Joseph's Church Hall, Tilehurst RG31 5JJ, Anyone wishing to attend a seminar must send Fr Nicholas an email that they wish to attend as he sends out notes to read and "homework" to prepare before attendance.
Please contact Fr Nicholas here to register.
Please bring a bible and food for sharing at lunch. An offering of £15 is acceptable.
Many people report a tangible experience of God's peace from attending the day, and healing can occur in many ways. Some people repeat the seminars and find they learn more each time.
"Our God heals" is written by Fr. Nicholas Broadbridge OSB, who was Chaplain and Spiritual Director to Alton Day of Renewal for many years.
The subtitle of the book is "To set free those who are oppressed." If you are oppressed or in despair, this book will show you where and how to find healing of your spirit, through Jesus' use of the powers of the Holy Spirit.
In his foreword to the book, Charles Whitehead says: "In this remarkable book, Fr. Nicholas draws on many years of careful thought and study, all brought to reality through his practical experience of giving teaching workshops which are admirably illustrated by the stories, testimonies and examples contained in page after page of his book".
Our God Heals by Fr Nicholas Broadbridge (New Life Publishing. £9.99). The author, a monk at Douai Abbey for more than 60 years, has run healing workshops, family healing sessions and retreats. Now he concentrates on one-to-one sessions only. Reflecting on themes of love and forgiveness, deliverance and the gifts of the Spirit, Fr Broadbridge uses scriptural passages and many personal stories of those he has encountered during his ministry to illustrate his message that God longs to set free those who are oppressed. Catholics who are wary of healing as somehow " charismatic " should read the testimonies recounted in these pages.

Geography, Population, Languages
Nestling high in the Pyrenees between France and Spain, in the valley of the river Vella (Vieille – French), the Principality of Andorra measures no more than 467 sq. km. The population of Andorra is 70,000, of which 23,000 are native Andorran, about 32,000 are Spanish, 8,000 Portuguese, and about 5,000 French. The official language is Catalan, while Spanish and French are also spoken. The territory comprises 7 Communities. The capital is Andorra la Vella.
History, Political Structure and Law
Andorra has preserved its neutrality and its identity for more than 700 years, with an unique record of diplomatic non-involvement in European affairs. The elected local government consisting of Cap de Govern (the President) and his ministers (28 of them) run the government from la Casa de la Vall (the Houses of Parliament). In 1993, Andorra created its own constitution and is now a member of the United Nations. The French and Spanish governments both share equal responsibility for military defence and foreign affairs. The legislative body is the General Council.
Economy and Infrastructure
The economy of Andorra is split between farming, banking, financial services and tourism, with over 12 million tourists visiting the country every year. The Principality is an ideal location in which to site management and control of offshore companies. It is an international financial centre. Its banks offer a wide range of discreet, professional and confidential services, with banking secrecy upheld by law.
Andorra has no official currency, a wide range of currencies are accepted internally. The Euro is now the most commonly used, and the national accounts are kept in Euros.
Andorran companies can be established for the purpose of local trade, holding of assets and investments and cross-border commerce.
There are two types of Andorran company for international trade and investment, both of which enjoy limited liability:
The Societat Limitadad (S.L.) is a company often used for local trading.
The Societat Anonima (S.A.) is usually established for businesses whith a much higher turnover.
The following requirements apply to the name of a Company:
The name must end with S.L. or S.A., depending on the type of Company.
It is advisable for the name chosen to be Catalan-sounding.
A minimum of two shareholders are required and at least one shareholder must be of Andorran nationality owning a minimum of 67% of the company`s share capital. Non-Andorrans and non-residents can only own 33% of the share capital. Details of shareholders are kept at the local registry. An offshore company can be used to own 33% of the share capital. It is possible to arrange for an Andorran citizen to act in a nominee capacity for the ultimate owner of the company.
The Societat Limitadad (S.L.) must have a paid up share capital of at least 6,000 euros (Spanish Pesetas). The Societat Anonima (S.A) must have a minimum paid up share capital of 30,000 euros.
The share capital must be fully paid up in advance of incorporation. This amount must be deposited with an Andorran bank in a designated company incorporation type account. The bank must then issue a special certificate, addressed to the designated notary responsible for concluding incorporation formalities.
Annual Taxation and Fees
The Principality is a no tax jurisdiction with no direct taxation being levied on income, capital or corporations. Wealth and inheritance taxes do not exist.
Financial statements are subject to the requirement that accounting information and books must be maintained at the company's registered office. There is however no requirement for these documents to be audited or filed with local authorities.

The current proposal for Explorer Street is to replace the existing 46 one and two-storey townhouses with 430 dwellings in a series of medium to high-rise buildings. Currently, this site consists entirely of publicly owned social housing.
In this proposal however, only 120 or 30% of the units are proposed to be social housing dwellings while the remaining 70% or 310 units are proposed to be sold on the private market.
The resulting increase in social housing on the site will be just 73 dwellings, despite an increase of dwellings on the site by 383, falling far short of the urgent need for more social and affordable housing in the area.
The existing dwellings on the Explorer Street site accommodate family groups with a number of 4 and 5 bedroom homes. The proposed redevelopment however consists only of 1 or 2 bedrooms units. This change from larger homes to 1 or 2 bedroom units represents a material loss of public housing on the site, as the available accommodation is reduced when larger homes are demolished and replaced with bed-sits and single bedroom units. The need for family homes in the inner city social housing stock remains high and their availability is already extremely limited.
It is unacceptable that larger families requiring social housing or currently living on the site will be forcibly displaced away from their community, schools and other cultural links as a result of this redevelopment. This is of particular concern in regards to housing Aboriginal family groups, who typically require more than 2 bedrooms.
According to the DCJ website, there are currently more than 1,000 households with children who are waiting to be housed in the central Sydney area and over 750 applicants with a priority need. The need for investment in social housing with more than one bedroom could not be more evident.
The Greens are committed to maintaining 100% public and affordable housing on this site and stopping the privatisation or sell-off of valuable inner city public land. It is also crucial that
any proposed development in the Redfern/Waterloo/Eveleigh area includes at least 10% Aboriginal affordable housing on the site.
Jenny Leong MP has written to NSW Housing Minister Pavey calling for the government to reconsider this proposal and not proceed with the demolition of these homes and the privatisation of this public

what's a poor library to do?
Don Herzog: July 5, 2005
Who knew a little paragraph buried in a bureaucratic document could kick up such a fuss? Page down to F-9 and you'll find this, uncertain syntax and all:
Commissioner Storms led a discussion on the adoption of a policy that Hillsborough County Government abstains from promoting and participating in Gay Pride recognition and events. The Board approved to adopt a policy that Hillsborough County Government abstain from acknowledging, promoting, and participating in Gay Pride recognition and events. The Board approved that the policy would only be able to be overturned by a public hearing and supermajority vote. Renee Lee is responsible for drafting a Board policy for Board review by July 20th.
Why? Because the West Gate regional library put up a display for Gay and Lesbian Pride month: a poster with famous gays and lesbians, and books and pamphlets from the library's collection. A few patrons complained, and the display came down. One pamphlet offered teenagers with "questions about their sexuality" "counseling resources." That concerned Commissioner Storms, and hey presto! a new sweeping policy for Florida's Hillsborough County, which includes Tampa.
Is the policy unconstitutional? Does it violate the first amendment? Centrally of course the constitutional guarantee of free speech protects private citizens from government control. The law on whether it protects one unit of government from another is dicey (but see this). Still, I don't think the commission's action violates the first amendment. Neither does she:
Renee Lee, the Hillsborough County attorney, said it was legal. "If the county doesn't want to spend money promoting gay rights, they can do that," Lee said. "It's not a constitutional breach. This is not a free speech issue."
And the city of Tampa's human rights ordinance (click on chapter 12 here) bars discrimination on the ground of sexual orientation. (The county removed sexual orientation from its ordinance in 1995.) The library gets some of its funding from the city, and a citizen has filed a complaint with the city's Office of Human Rights. But I didn't notice any language in the statute that really applies.
So as far as I can tell, then, there are no constitutional or other legal barriers to the county commission's action. This is a policy dispute, no more — and no less. It belongs in the political arena, not in court. So the commission got quite an earful from the public. Still, they adopted the policy. It's one crummy policy. And I even think we ought to be able to agree on that whether we approve of gay rights or not.
Suppose a library put up a display on the civil rights protests. It might feature Bull ("I want them to see the dogs work") Connor unleashing violence against peaceful black protesters, or hooded Klan members. Indeed, it might even more or less exclusively feature such repugnant displays, just as the Florida Holocaust Museum once ran an exhibit on The Art of Hatred, just as Alabama once displayed a hooded Klan member in its Civic Centre. No matter: ordinarily we'd take such a display as taking sides with the civil rights protesters and against racists, fascists, Klan members, and the like.
If it's okay for a public library to take sides on civil rights, it can't be because nobody disagrees. It's rather that we've decided that their disagreement is beyond the pale. So a respectable thing to say about the Hillsborough county commission's move is that they don't think opposition to gay rights is beyond the pale. That is, the commission needn't themselves be opposed to gay rights. They might think, though, that it's inappropriate for citizens so opposed to be affronted on walking into the public library, where everyone should be welcome.
But mandated silence on the topic seems antithetical to what libraries are about. Libraries are for learning stuff, and displays don't have to take sides. That's why I say proponents and opponents of gay rights alike ought to agree that the county blew it, in a big, bad, awful way. The real divide here is between those fond of vibrant democratic debate and those opposed to it. So I'd let the library mount a display airing all sides of the dispute. Indeed, I'd encourage them to. Precisely because there is ongoing controversy about gay rights, and because we think (don't we?) that both sides have legitimate views, no reasonable observer would take a library exhibit's inclusion of critics of gay rights as silently scornful. The county's measure makes it seem like they think the very topic of gay pride is unspeakable, indecent — something that must remain deeply closeted. That position, and not any measured view on gay marriage or civil unions or antidiscrimination laws, is reprehensible.
The funny thing is that Commissioner Storms claims to have been most concerned by that pamphlet telling teens concerned about their sexuality where they might turn. What that has to do with taking sides on gay pride is beyond me. ("They're recruiting!") Next up, I suppose, a policy that shackles the library here, too:
17-year-old [anxiously]: Um, have you got any information on sexual orientation and identity?
Reference librarian [primly, or maybe glumly]: I am not at liberty to divulge that information.
Or if the commission is really worried about the county government's "acknowledging, promoting, and participating in" controversial causes, maybe they should tell the library to stop buying books on evolutionary biology — and creationism, too. Maybe they should get the existing books off the shelves, too. That's just the beginning, of course, because library shelves stripped of controversial materials are going to be pretty damned empty.
So maybe the respectable position I ascribed to the Hillsborough County commission — that libraries should stay peacefully above the fray — isn't their actual position. Maybe they just plain don't like gays.

Join us for Worship every sunday at 10:00 am
We gather for worship every Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. in our historic 1774 meetinghouse. Our service reflects our rich Congregational heritage, our love of various kinds of music, our commitment to justice and our desire to live out our faith in daily life. Much of the service is led by church members, including our young people, and there is lots of congregational participation .
Our communion table is open to all people who seek to know the Presence of Christ. Children may receive communion at their parents' discretion. We celebrate communion on the first Sunday of the month. Grape juice and bread are offered as the communion elements and gluten free bread is available.
No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey – you are welcome here.
Nursery care for infants and toddlers is available each Sunday from 9:50am-11:15am in the Crib Room, located in our newly renovated Parish Hall.This room is staffed by screened and experienced volunteers who provide loving care while parents/guardians attend Sunday Worship.
Summer Worship
at chapel in the woods
In the summer, in addition to our regular Sunday worship, another service is held at 8:30 am in our Chapel in the Woods. The Chapel in the Woods was created in 1963 and restored in 2000 by one of the congregation's Eagle Scouts. Our beautiful chapel in the woods seats about a hundred people amidst the beauty of God's creation. It is open every day (weather permitting) during daylight hours for prayer and meditation, and it is the site of our summer 8:30 a.m. Sunday worship services, starting the second Sunday in July, as well as special programs, weddings, and more. The altar features stones from Congregational churches throughout Connecticut and several other states.
A Typical Sunday Service
Our historic Sanctuary is located at 312 Percival Avenue in Kensington. Parking for those with limited mobility is at street level, in front of the Parish Hall. All others are invited to park behind the Parish Hall or in the lot on the corner of Robbins Road & Percival Avenue, diagonally across the street from the church, or in the lot near the Kensington Nursery School directly across Sheldon Street.
At 9:45am Sunday morning the church bell rings out to summon the community. This is a tradition that dates back to 1712.
At 10am our Church bell rings once again to gather us for a welcome and announcements, about news, events and mission activities.
That is followed with a quiet time for centering yourself while listening to a musical prelude by the bell choir, The Jubilation Choir, or our director of music – Mrs. Corinne Terlecky
At the conclusion of the prelude, our worship begins with a Call to Worship and prayer. After a time for offering, the children are called forward for a children's message before they head off for Church School.
The service continues with a reading from the Bible and sermon. Rev. Laura's past sermons can be heard on the Services web page. Our service concludes with prayers and a benediction, followed by the singing of "Blest Be the Tie that Binds". This is our way of symbolizing our desire to nurture the bonds of community we find here at KCC and to bring that connection into the world.
Music is also an important part of our worship, so our service includes hymn singing. Each service also includes musical offerings by our adult choir and often includes special music by our bell choir, children's choir or soloists.
Communion, also known as the Lord's Supper, is celebrated on the first Sunday of the month. All are welcome to receive. We use non-alcoholic grape juice and bread. Gluten-free bread is available.
There are no rules about what to wear. Most of us wear business casual attire, though you'll see people in both dressier clothing and jeans. For our summer worship in the Chapel in the woods, casual clothes are fine and bug spray is provided.

The difference between Castlemar and other builders is details and design. My house reflects my taste and my family's lifestyle. I was particular about the plans and Castlemar worked with me to create a house that captures every conceivable view and doesn't waste space. They also use quality materials and consider every possible architectural detail -- the crown molding, columns, tile work, cabinetry and even hardware not only make a statement about quality, those details are what define good design. You only need see houses built by other builders to recognize the difference. It's all about the details and for me that really is the difference between house and a home.

New to the board and I need your help. My phone stopped recognizing any SIM card I installed so I brought it to an authorized Samsung repair shop who then forwarded it to Samsung repair level 2. Seems that one of th chips near the camera has some eveidence of damage (?) which voids the warranty and they won't fix/replace the phone. Really, all I need is the mainboard so if anyone has a spare board, broken phone (other than the mainboard) or knows of where I can purchase one it'd be appreciated.
I've scoured the internet leaving a few inquiries, checked Amazon.co.uk & 4mysamsung.com to no avail. It's too good/new of a phone to just not try to fix.
The repair center usually offers paid repairs ,why dont you try that .
Either way Galaxy 551 is not a popular phone like GalaxyS/S2 so spare parts are hard to come by .

A meta-analysis of 26 primary studies, yielding 76 pair-wise comparisons of dynamic and static visualizations, reveals a medium-sized overall advantage of instructional animations over static pictures. The mean weighted effect size on learning outcome is d=0.37 (95% CI 0.25–0.49). Moderator analyses indicate even more substantial effect sizes when the animation is representational rather than decorational (d=0.40, 95% CI 0.26–0.53), when the animation is highly realistic, e.g., video-based (d=0.76, 95% CI 0.39–1.13), and/or when procedural-motor knowledge is to be acquired (d=1.06, 95% CI 0.72–1.40). The results are in line with contemporary theories of cognitive load and multimedia learning, and they have practical implications for instructional design.

Disney being the world brand that it really is has launched many singing career of young actors. If your little one gets the talent, you will consider taking them for example of the singing auditions. Finding a Disney audition really, but in fully understand it's most challenging part of the audition. After you have snagged this elusive spot, it is advisable to be sure that your child impresses the agents and directors. One never knows whenever they can expect to get that chance again. The following are some tips in order that your kid's singing audition goes brilliantly.
The "Path to 9/11" perhaps have humiliated Clinton for this score. They took simple to use in the man. I will not criticize Clinton for his actions. He was simply extending the policies of his predecessors towards the present. The condition was that terrorism came you will find roost in a big way below the Clinton Administration. The whole plot to consider those planes into those buildings was hatched, willing and able while Clinton was President. The FBI was asleep at the switch, and also the CIA wasn't speaking to the FBI. Ask the FBI the way they spent a $150 million on the laptop or computer that didn't work? Exactly how when they are computerized adjusted right now, or are they still using paper index cards in most within their offices? Inquire if over half their agents have notebook computers today, 5yrs after 9/11? I am aware the solutions to those questions, also, you could be amazed at them. The FBI as well as CIA contain a long history of dislike for one another. If you desire proof, resume World war 2 when J. Edger Hoover ran the FBI, all of which will Bill Donovan ran your job of Strategic Services, the predecessor to the current disney resort . Each men hated one, and their respective organizations followed through within the anger. Within days after WW II ended, Hoover forced the popular President Harry Truman to disband the OSS as unnecessary. Together the Russians were consolidating their gains in Eastern Europe. One more thing that you should do could be to scout for the auditions. This can be achieved without help or hire a dealer to perform this to suit your needs. Most of the problems that you've got to be partial to is a time and date for those audition. For anyone who is first starting, don't be choosy. Buy quite a few Disney channel Auditions for Teens that you can. Whether it's for the new show or a reveal that you do not be particularly an enormous fan of, test it out for. This may not be the time period on your to begin being choosy, generate a reputable name yourself first construction business then you can lower roles.
When selecting an appropriate resort in your family, you ought to go ahead and take benefits and drawbacks for on-site and off-site hotels/resorts in mind.
If you happen to you are planning on visiting other attraction, other than the 4 inside of Walt Disney World, the off-site accommodations is better. Reaching to and from Walt Disney World can be a hassle and, for anybody who is already from the grounds, arriving at other restaurants and attractions is easier.

HomeFacts About Turtles
Interesting Facts About Turtles That You Don't Know
Sage - August 29, 2022
Turtles are magnificent animals that come in a variety of sizes and shapes. On the skin, they'll appear to measure an awfully straightforward and inactive life, but after you take a better look, you'll realize they are actually attractive creations. Check out our fast summing up of fascinating turtle facts, and you'll certainly agree!
1 - The turtle's shell has sixty bones.
A turtle's shell is made up of three main parts: the exoskeleton (top shell), the plastron (lower shell), and the bridge that connects the two shells. The inner shell of turtles has sixty bones as well as the ribs and the backbone.
2 - Sea turtles can't retract their heads.
Some turtles will retract their limbs and head into their shell once they face danger. Ocean turtles, on the other hand, cannot retract their heads or flippers into their shells. This inability might have developed as a result of the fact that they do not have to be compelled to defend themselves from predators on water. Turtle species that may retract their heads are divided into 2 major groups: the "side-necked turtles" and also the "hidden neck turtles." This categorization is predicated on the approach the pinnacle retracts. The facet-necked turtle folds its neck to at least one side while retracting its head, whereas the hidden neck turtle retracts its head straight into its shell.
3 - Turtles have excellent vision, too.
Turtles have robust underwater vision. Researchers have discovered that they will see a variety of different colors – and even like some colors more than others. Though ocean turtles are known for their internal GPS, there's proof to suggest they are not seeing land.
4 - Turtles can hold their breath for up to five hours underwater.
To accomplish this mighty feat, they slow their pulse for up to 9 minutes in between heartbeats so as to conserve atomic number 8.
5 - They have a tremendous sense of direction.
Sea turtles are known for their superb ability to return to the precise beach where they were born years later. Like several animals, turtles will navigate their approach by sensing the individual lines of flux. However, they will additionally keep in mind the magnetic signature of coastlines and sense little variations in magnetic fields, permitting them to guide themselves home.

6 - Temperature dictates the sex of baby turtles.
Warmer nests result in a lot of females and cooler ones result in a lot of males—which is why global climate change might drastically have an effect on their populations by making too many females and too few males to match them for replicas.
7 - Turtle species lay their eggs on land.
Even water-dwelling turtles can dig their nests in the sand or the earth near their surroundings once they are able to lay their eggs. However, they are not the nurturing sort. No species of turtle sticks around to boost their young. The young are left on their own when they hatch.
8 - Some turtles are vegetarians, whereas others are carnivorous.
Most turtles are literally omnivores, but many species are very fastidious once it involves their diet. Most tortoises are happy to munch on leaves, greens, or fruit. Not that the fearsome-looking alligator turtle, which is nearly entirely carnivorous and feeds on everything from fish to little mammals that venture too close to the water's edge.
9 - When Turtle cries
Turtles do cry, but not as a result of being unhappy. They need glands that facilitate the emptying of excess salt from their eyes. That makes it seem like they're crying.
10 - They have one of the longest lifespans in the animal kingdom.
While the lifespan of a turtle varies by species, the vast majority of them have the potential to reach adulthood. A typical pet turtle will live between ten and eighty years, whereas larger species can live for over a hundred years. Because it is so tough to accurately age over a century, researchers suppose some turtles might even be many years old.

2022 Nikola Badger – New Electric Pickup With Astonishing Figures
Leave a Comment	/ Nikola Motor Company / By Richard
The all-electric pickup truck segment is heating up. The newest model that will go on sale in the near future is the 2022 Nikola Badger. It should represent a strong option in the segment, according to numerous reports. Of course, many of experts are predicting for Tesla to stay at the top of the pickup truck segment. Moreover, Rivian and Bollinger are also considered as major threats. However, Badger pickup could be something completely new and different.
It won't be an all-electric model, at least not at the beginning of the production. Instead, it will be a plug-in hybrid variant or a fuel-cell electric version. That means the upcoming Badger could generate its power from a hydrogen fuel-cell stack. Starting from the company's name "Nikola" to the manufacturer's promises, many people are questioning this model.
2022 Badger Exterior Design
The arrival of the 2022 Nikola Badger will surely cause a huge splash. This pickup truck should be showcased later this year, most likely in September. So far, we don't know about the vehicle's design. Whatsoever, the renderings are the only source we got. From what we saw, the new Badger will look futuristic and modern. On the other hand, its shape is kind of strange and unusual. Still, a pickup's aggressiveness is visible at first glance.
Badger pickup looks especially mean upfront. The front fascia will host an LED light bar and bolder bumper. Interestingly, GMC Sierra pickup features almost the same lighting system. Bulgier hood provides a sportier vibe but overall, it is far from a sporty pickup. The bodywork looks curvy and angular and we like the illuminated side skirts. In terms of dimensions, Badger will be 85 inches wide, 232 inches long and 72.8 inches tall.
Mechanical Specs
The manufacturer promised up to 906 horsepower. On top of that, the all-new 2022 Nikola Badger will pack 980 lb-ft of torque. Those figures are looking unreal at the moment. However, Rivian promises similar figures as well. Based on the previous experience, until its official, you shouldn't believe in everything you read. Nikola also said that the Badger pickup will feature an independent AWD system which suggests at the quad-motor configuration.
In other words, one motor per axle, to be more precise. You can expect impressive towing capacity and the acceleration of 2.9 seconds to reach 60 mph. These figures are in line with rivals such as Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian R1T. However, Badger will reportedly arrive with a 600-miles driving range. The onboard battery is able to power tools and various things via its 15-kilowatt outlet.
Riding on a Hydrogen Fuel
Using a hydrogen fuel isn't a new thing in a pickup truck segment. However, it certainly set you apart from the rest of the competitors. The upcoming 2022 Nikola Badger will ride on this type of output. Fueling the pickup won't be a problem as the manufacturer plans to build around 700 hydrogen stations in the U.S.
At this moment, there are only 42 stations in the whole of North America. Hydrogen is a smart move, for the whole planet and humanity, no doubt about it. Still, Badger pickup will be able to run without hydrogen, exclusively on the all-electric power. The fully electric driving range will be around 300 miles.
2022 Nikola Badger Price and Release Date
The price is not available yet, but you can expect more details in the coming weeks or months. The 2022 Nikola Badger will make a debut this September at the "Nikola World 2020" show. The sales will start in the second half of 2022.

Internet domain body names new chief executive
PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC: The organisation that oversees Internet domain names has appointed a new chief executive, who will have to take on some of the major challenges facing the non-profit body, including controversy over expansion of its services.
Fadi Chehade will start his new job at ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) in October. He is currently CEO at Vocado, a company that provides cloud-based administrative software for educational institutions.
Chehade told reporters in Prague, where ICANN holds its 44th public meeting this weekend, that he would pursue consensus-building among all the stakeholders involved in affairs affecting the internet.
« Multi-stakeholder models require patience … but I believe this process is nearly sacred, » Chehade said.
The 50-year-old, who has also worked for IBM, is replacing Rod Beckstrom, who is leaving ICANN at the end of his three-year contract in July.
ICANN has suffered setbacks in its most ambitious internet expansion project so far that will allow companies to set up a website with almost any so-called top-level domains — the code that comes after the period in a website address. Instead of .com or .org. new ones could be, for example, .prague or .apple.
It has caused controversy because many brand owners felt they would have to take part in the expensive project or risk rivals bagging domains that could be mistaken for their own.
The United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and 26 other organisations asked ICANN last year to make sure domain names such as .un could not be seized under the new system.
ICANN says it has built in safeguards against such so-called cyber squatting.
Another hiccup in the plan came in April when a software glitch exposed sensitive details of applications for the new domain names.
Chief Operating Officer Akram Attalah said on Friday he believed the address expansion project had cleared the biggest hurdles.
Chehade, born to Egyptian parents in Lebanon, where he lived until escaping the civil war there at the age of 18, has led a number of IT companies in the United States.

Only low-interest loans offer this advantage. For many lenders, the preferred way to convert an interest-only loan into a traditional mortgage is through refinancing. Shall I refinance the pure interest loan? Dr. Don, as interest rates scramble lower and lower, I am prone to run the numbers for my own mortgage.
What is more, I am not afraid of the interest penalty. Unfortunately, it turns out to be very tricky as we have a five year variable interest mortgages that only pays interest for the first 10 years. Neither of the funding computers I found offers you the possibility to take into account either the ARM or pure interest clause when calculating the break-even point.
Is there a calculator that takes into consideration the ARM and the waived capital when funding a fixed-rate ARM? Things get even worst when you realise that the break-even point is not a very useful monetary figure either. Breake-even considers the reduction in payments compared to closure cost. When the refinance cuts your $250 per month profit and you have $5,000 in acquisition fees, the breakeven point is 20 month ($5,000/250 = 20).
It' useful, but not something you want to lean back to imitate when you decide if it makes sence to refinance your trickiest 5/1 interest rate ARM. The majority of house owners are in one interest - only ARM for one of two purposes. They can either not pay for the mortgages if they include a capital payback element, or they have something better to do with the cash that would have gone towards capital repayments.
Is there anything better to do with your cash than pay your loan in advance? Assuming yes, a better way to analyze a funding is to look at the overall interest rate estimates, opportunities associated with the payment of acquisition fees for the new loan, and return on investments associated with the non-prepayment of the loan.
You can find the nearest funding calculator to all this on The Mortgage Professor's website. While it does not deal with the pure question of interest rates, it does deal with almost everything else. A further good option is the pocket calculator available on the CCH Financial Planning Toolkit website. What does it make to refinance for you?

FCS Playoffs: Furman at Austin Peay
CRAIG HALEY (STATS FCS Senior Editor=)
FCS First-Round Playoff
The Matchup - Furman (8-4, 6-2 Southern) at Austin Peay (9-3, 7-1 Ohio Valley)
Kickoff - 1 p.m. ET at Fortera Stadium in Clarksville, Tennessee
Coverage - ESPN3
Series - First meeting
Coaches - Furman: Clay Hendrix (22-13, three seasons); Austin Peay: Mark Hudspeth (9-3, first season; 104-62 overall)
3 Players to Watch - Furman: RB Devin Wynn (1,121 rushing yards, 16 total TDs), Spur Jordan Willis (78 tackles, 4½ tackles for loss), PK/P Grayson Atkins (11 of 12 FGs, 43.3-yard punt average); Austin Peay: QB JaVaughn Craig (3,114 yards of total offense, 30 total TDs), WR/PR DeAngelo Wilson (1,246 receiving yards, 12 TDs), NB Kordell Jackson (34 tackles, 7 INTs)
The Skinny - While Ohio Valley Conference co-champ Austin Peay is appearing in the FCS playoffs for the first time, Furman is making its 18th all-time appearance, including a national championship season in 1988. The run game could decide the outcome as Furman ranks fifth in the FCS in rushing yards per game (275.8) and Austin Peay is fifth in rushing yards per game allowed (86.5). Furman, the Southern Conference runner-up, has twice made a change at starting quarterback, but the Paladins returned last week to season-opening starter Darren Grainger (18 total TDs), whose best game was against FBS member Georgia State. Atkins is 5 of 6 on field goal attempts of at least 50 yards over the last two seasons. Austin Peay split on the road with two SoCon opponents during the regular season, beating Mercer and losing to ETSU (Furman beat both teams at home). Craig and Wilson form an explosive combo and senior RB/KR Kentel Williams has 4,576 all-purpose yards in his career. In the Governors' 4-2-5 defensive alignment, Jackson has the second-most interceptions in the FCS and DT Josephus Smith has racked up 19½ tackles for loss and 7½ sacks.
Up Next - The winner will play at No. 4 seed Sacramento State (9-3) in the second round Dec. 7.
Prediction - Austin Peay has been underrated nationally all season. In an evenly matched game, here is a chance for the Governors to make a statement. Austin Peay, 24-23.
What's next for the Patriots players who opted out of the 2020 NFL season?

Jon Rahm withdrew from this week's American Express event and explained on Tuesday why he did so.
Ivey's late 3 finishes Purdue's rally past No. 15 Ohio State
With the clock ticking down to the single digits, the score tied and the ball in his hands, Jaden Ivey had no doubt what would happen next. Ivey's step-back 3-pointer from the top of the key with 5 seconds left was true, completing Purdue's rally for a 67-65 victory over No. 15 Ohio State on Tuesday night. ''He's not made that shot for us this year, but he's made it in practice,'' coach Matt Painter said.
UConn coach Geno Auriemma says he would rather still be coaching against the late Pat Summitt than moving past her on the all-time wins list. The Huskies routed Butler 103-35 on Tuesday, giving Auriemma his 1,099th win. The victory leaves him just behind Stanford's Tara VanDerveer (1,105) and gives him one more than his former rival, Summitt, who died in 2016 at the age of 64.

January 31st, 2021: Mohammad Hussein Amro, 35, was shot and killed when Israeli forces shot him in an alleged stabbing attempt in the southern occupied West Bank.
The incident took place near an illegal Israeli colony at the Gush Etzion junction, south of Bethlehem, and no Israeli civilians or troops were injured.
An Israeli army spokesperson claimed that the man attempted to stab a soldier, and that an investigation would be opened in an attempt to establish a motive.
The Palestinian has later been identified as Mohammad Hussein Amro, 35, from Halhoul town, north of Hebron.
He was a married father of two children and worked at the sanitary department of Halhoul City Council.

Atallah Mohammad Rayan
January 26, 2021: Atallah Mohammad Rayan, 17, was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers near Salfit, in the central West Bank, after the army claimed he attempted to stab a soldier.
The teen, identified as Atallah Mohammad Rayan, 17, from Qarawat Bani Hassan town, northwest of Salfit, was shot dead by Israeli forces after he allegedly attempted to stab a soldier at Giti Avishar junction near the illegal Ariel colony.
Israel's Haaretz quoted the army alleging that the Palestinian "arrived at Giti Avishar junction and tried to stab a squad commander and a female soldier at the junction," before a soldier and the Palestinian "briefly wrestled after he tried to stab her a few times before the commander killed him."
The reported incident did not lead to any injuries among the soldiers, while the army said, "it is investigating the attack."
The Palestinian WAFA News Agency has reported that the teen was shot with several rounds, while soldiers made no attempt to provide first aid, and the child was left to bleed out until he succumbed to his wounds.
According to eyewitness testimony.
"At around 11:30 a young Palestinian man was crossing the roadblock, soldiers attacked and shot him, they hit him, he scuffled with soldiers after they fired at him, they forced him on the ground, then they hit him on his head with their guns, most likely this is what killed the young man, because they struck him on the head multiple times, they busted his head open, they shot and injured him first, then beat him to the ground and assaulted him and hit him on his head, this is what killed him."
After killing the young man, the soldiers invaded Qarawat Bani Hassan, the hometown of the slain Palestinian, leading to protests.
The soldiers fired many gas bombs, concussion grenades, and rubber-coated steel bullets at the protesters, causing many to suffer the effects of teargas inhalation.
The soldiers also stormed and ransacked the family home of the slain Palestinian, ransacked the property, and interrogated his family.

Bashar Zubeidat
January 11th, 2021: Bashar Zubeidat, 19, died Monday from wounds sustained the previous Friday, when he was shot by Israeli police with multiple live rounds.
Bashar was a Palestinian with Israeli citizenship. In response to his murder, hundreds of Palestinians with Israeli citizenship took to the streets on Tuesday to protest his death, and several other recent deaths of Palestinians at the hands of Israeli police and security forces.
On Monday, doctors at Rambam Israeli Hospital in Haifa reported that Zubeidat, from Basmat Tab'oun village, near Haifa, died from his serious wounds he suffered, on Friday, January 8, 2021.
Mossawa Advocacy Center for Rights Of Arab Citizens of Israel said it contacted the Investigation Department of the Israeli Police to obtain information about the fatal shooting, and was informed of the allegation that the slain young man was sitting in the passenger seat of a car, and that the driver tried to drive away when the police ordered him to stop. The Center also reported that, during the chase, the police fired many sporadic rounds of live fire at the car, and injured Zubeidat, before detaining two others who were in the car.
The Israeli Police claim that a car rammed a police officer who tried to stop the vehicle in Haifa, before fleeing the scene, and added that the police later located the vehicle, but the driver tried to flee before the officers opened fire again at the car. The police told reporters that they were later informed that two persons were injured and were receiving treatment at Rambam hospital.

Mohammad Eyada Salahuddin
January 12th, 2021: Mohammad Eyada Salahuddin, 20, died of cancer just a few months after being released from Israeli prison, where he was diagnosed with cancer but left untreated for years.
The Palestinian Detainees and Ex-Detainees Committee stated that Mohammad Eyada Salahuddin, 20, from Hizma town, east of the occupied Palestinian capital Jerusalem, has died from cancer, and added that he was diagnosed while in Israeli prisons, but the occupation authorities failed to provide him with the necessary specialized medical treatment.
It added that Israel released the young man only a few months ago, after it became clear that his condition was profoundly serious when cancer spread to several parts of his body.
The Committee also said that it fought for his release by filing many appeals with Israeli courts, before the detainee's condition witnessed a serious deterioration, and held Israel responsible for his death.
Qadri Abu Bakr, the head of the Detainees Committee, said Israel deliberately and callously denied the urgently needed specialized medical treatment to the detainee and added that Mohammad's death was nothing short of a premeditated crime.
On its part, the Palestinian Prisoners' Society (PPS) issued a statement mourning the detainee and stating that he is among a long list of detainees who because seriously ill in Israeli prisons and died shortly after their release, due to Israel's deliberate medical neglect policies against the Palestinian political prisoners.
He added that many detainees have recently been diagnosed with cancer, and are denied specialized medical attention.
It is worth mentioning that Salahuddin was taken prisoner in April of 2019, and was sentenced to two years in prison. In July of 2020, he was officially diagnosed with cancer while in prison.
There are at least 700 detainees in Israeli prisons who suffer from various health conditions, including 270 who have serious illnesses, such and liver and kidney diseases, and twelve who have cancer.
Former political prisoner and the head of the Documentation Department of the Palestinian Detainees' Committee, Abdul-Nasser Ferwana, told the IMEMC that the death of Mohammad under these conditions is not the first, as Israel has a longstanding policy of depriving the detainees of the basic medical treatment, they need.
He added that Israel keeps committing these crimes and getting away with them, due to the absence of accountability in international courts, and called for shedding closer attention to dire and inhumane conditions the Palestinian detainees face in Israeli prisoners.
Ferwana also said that there is a significant rise of cancer cases among the Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons, and described what Israel is doing as organized medical crimes against them.
He called for ensuring professional and comprehensive medical checkups on all former prisoners immediately after they are freed, especially since many start showing symptoms after their release.

'Aahed Abdul-Rahman Ekhlayyel
January 04, 2021: 'Aahed Abdul-Rahman Mahmoud Ekhlayyel, 24, was shot and killed by Israeli forces near the military base of Gush Etzion, in the southern part of the West Bank.
The Israeli soldiers claimed that Ekhlayyel had attempted to carry out a stabbing attack, but offered no evidence to support this claim.
After killing Ekhlayyel and holding his body, the Israeli military imposed a closure on the entire village of Beit Ummar, forcing all of the Palestinian residents to remain indoors, and preventing anyone from entering or leaving the village.
A squadron of Israeli soldiers then invaded the village and issued warrants for all the members of the Ekhlayyel family to come to Gush Etzion military base for interrogation.
According to a statement by the Israeli military, "(A) community security officer spotted a suspect approaching the junction. Following their suspicion, the security officer and a soldier operated to stop the suspect by firing into the air. The suspect then threw a knife, and the officer responded with live fire, neutralizing the suspect."
Israeli forces frequently accuse Palestinians of knife attacks after killing them and have been known to plant knives on the bodies of dead Palestinians on a number of occasions.
The army closed the Gush Etzion junction to all Palestinian traffic after killing the young man.
After killing the young man, Israeli soldiers invaded Beit Ummar, before storming his family's home and searching it.
The soldiers also summoned his family for interrogation in the Etzion military base and security center, north of Hebron, and closed the iron gate at the main entrance of Beit Ummar, in addition to preventing the Palestinians from entering or leaving it.
The army said it does not intend to transfer his corpse to his family for burial.
It is worth mentioning that, less than a month ago, Ekhlayyel opened a candy store to support his family.

Fruit flies in Australia
Managing fruit flies in Australia
Sterile Insect Technique use in Australia
Sidebar first - Pests diseases weeds
What is Sterile Insect Technique?
Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a recognised phytosanitary procedure for pest management under the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs). It is a sterilisation technique that can provide effective control of target insect populations such as fruit flies.
Large numbers of sterile flies are reared to maturity before being released into the wild. The sterile flies mate with wild flies, which results in no fertile offspring. The sterile male flies outcompete the wild male flies for mating with wild females because of the large number of SIT flies that are released, leading to a reduction in fruit fly populations.
Techniques for ensuring that SIT flies can be distinguished from wild flies include marking them with dye during the rearing stage allowing for easy identification and/or for surveillance purposes. In the case where this dye is difficult to observe, there are molecular identification techniques that ensure identification.

Potential benefits
SIT is recognised as an effective and desirable option for the management and/or eradication of fruit flies. It is species-specific, environmentally friendly and has been proven effective in overseas programs such as Chile, Guatemala, Mexico, USA and Japan. SIT can contribute to:
reduced pest damage and costs
reduced chemical pest controls
reduced insect and post-harvest treatment requirements and damage
improved environmental outcomes.

SIT use in Australia
SIT has been previously used to control or eradicate Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata 'Medfly') and Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni 'Qfly') in New South Wales (NSW), Victoria (VIC), South Australia (SA) and Western Australia (WA). It has been used successfully for suppression activities in areas of low wild fruit fly populations, and also during outbreaks within established Pest Free Areas (PFAs). In a regulated PFA, SIT flies are currently only used in response to an outbreak with the aim to eradicate the incursion.
SIT Medflies have been produced in WA since 2001 and have been effectively used to contribute to the eradication of recent outbreaks in SA. A Medfly SIT facility is in operation in south Perth and funded until the end of 2021. Currently there is a project underway to analyse and report on the costs and benefits of maintaining the facility.
SITplus, a joint venture between Hort Innovation and a number of organisations including the department, state and territory governments and universities, was established to increase capacity and efficiency in delivering SIT programs for Qfly. Research in this field includes producing male-only sterile Qflies. Achieving male-only release of SIT flies would mean a more efficient and cost-effective fight against the endemic pest.
A SIT fly facility is in operation in Port Augusta, SA, producing SIT Qflies for SIT programs, and work continues to increase and improve on SIT fly production.

Current and next steps
The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment in consultation with the National Fruit Fly Council (NFFC) has developed a draft Policy for Fruit Fly Sterile Technique in Relation to Trade. The policy:
defines the contexts in which SIT releases can take place without impacting existing pest freedom claims made by Australia and recognised by our international trading partners
provides a framework for the Australian Government to assess overseas SIT programs
defines the roles, interactions and requirements of the governments and industry regarding SIT release where export trade is concerned.
The draft Policy was released for public consultation in December 2020 on the department's Have Your Say webpage and closed 28 March 2021. Feedback from the consultation lead to a workshop facilitated by the National Fruit Fly Council on 12 July 2021.
The workshop initiated constructive discussions on the use of SIT and the draft Policy, and the department and the NFFC continue to discuss next steps.

Jan Wong knows food is better when shared, so when she set out to write a book about home cooking in France, Italy, and China, she asked her 22-year-old son, Sam, to join her. While he wasn't keen on spending excessive time with his mom, he dreamed of becoming a chef. Ultimately, it was an opportunity he couldn't pass up.
On their journey, Jan and Sam live and cook with locals, seeing first-hand how globalization is changing food, families, and cultures. In southeast France, they move in with a family sheltering undocumented migrants and learn classic French fare. In a hamlet in the heart of Italy's Slow Food country, the villagers teach them without fuss or fanfare how to make authentic spaghetti alle vongole and a proper risotto with leeks. In Shanghai, they home-cook firecracker chicken and scallion pancakes with the nouveaux riches and their migrant maids. Along the way, mother and son explore their sometimes-fraught relationship, uniting — and occasionally clashing — over their mutual love of cooking.
A memoir about family, an exploration of the globalization of food cultures, and a meditation on the complicated relationships between mothers and sons, Apron Strings is complex, unpredictable, and unexpectedly hilarious.
Jan Wong is the author of five non-fiction bestsellers, including Out of the Blue and Red China Blues, named one of Time magazine's top ten non-fiction books of 1996. (Twenty years later, the book is still in print.) She has won numerous journalism awards and is now a professor of journalism at St. Thomas University. A third-generation Canadian, Jan is the eldest daughter of a prominent Montreal restaurateur.
Anne Glatt has narrated several audiobooks for CNIB. She lives in Toronto.

"Jan Wong takes us on a trip through three of the world's greatest cuisines to learn the secrets of their foods, as well as the civilizations—past and present—that underlies what they eat. From a farm family in France coping with globalization to the stubborn traditions of central Italy and the cultural confusion of today's China, we meet the families and people behind the dishes—and learn how to make them as well. A wonderful story about Jan's own efforts to bond with her son, Apron Strings is what we have come to expect from Jan Wong: funny, insightful, and brutally honest." — Ian Johnson, author of The Souls of China
"Sharp-eyed and intrepid, Jan Wong and her resourceful son Sam investigate at first-hand what happens in three cultures where people are renowned for practising and enjoying great culinary art as normal daily custom. The resulting report, spiced as it is with honesty and wit, lays out for us a rich and thought-provoking spread." — Margaret Visser, author of The Rituals of Dinner
"A sharp-minded—and famously sharp-tongued—reporter drags her fully grown, chef-trained son on a homestay cooking tour of France, Italy, and China. What could possibly not go wrong? Inquisitive, caustic, delicious, and can't-look-away entertaining, this is Jan Wong at the peak of her powers." — Top Chef Canada

Foam 3h: Bebe Blanco Agterberg – Theatre of Broken Memories
Press release | Amsterdam, December 2022
Foam presents the first museum exhibition by Dutch photographer Bebe Blanco Agterberg. Theatre of Broken Memories captures how Spain dealt with its violent history and how 'forgetting' was used as a political tool in order to move on.
Florentine Riem Vis Grant
9 December – 5 March 2023
Like an optical illusion, a memory can also be manipulated or distorted: by your own brain, but in some cases also by external factors. An example is the Spanish amnesty law of 1977, which introduced the 'Pact of Forgetting'. After the death of Francisco Franco in 1975, the government took the decision to officially forget the 40-year dictatorship. Legally, this meant that crimes under Franco's dictatorship were not prosecuted. In public spaces it meant that visible remains of these crimes were obscured. Thus Spanish collective memory before the Pact was fragmented, distorted and blurred.
This history forms the starting point for Bebe Blanco Agterbergs images. Politics, media and citizens play a key role in her work: they are inextricably linked, but they also find themselves in a continuous power struggle. Anyone looking at her work senses a dark history, but it is not immediately clear what lies at the core of it. This is what is fascinating about Agterberg's work: she not only investigates the manipulability of memories, but also how people, willingly or unintentionally, try to fill the voids within.
Bebe Blanco Agterberg
Bebe Blanco Agterberg (The Netherlands, 1995) is a visual storyteller based in Amsterdam. She graduated in 2020 cum laude from the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague, with a BA in Photography. Agterberg's family history plays a large part in her work. Her mother was born in Spain in 1964 when dictator Francisco Franco was still in power.
Het Florentine Riem Vis Stipendium
Bebe Blanco Agterberg is the sixth recipient of the Florentine Riem Vis Grant. Established in memory of Florentine Riem Vis (1959-2016), the grant is awarded each year with the aim of enabling a young artist to further develop their artistic career. The previous recipients of the grant were Karolina Wojtas (2021), Gilleam Trapenberg (2020), Solène Gün (2019), Rebecca Sampson (2018) and Stefanie Moshammer (2016/17).
Foam 3h: Theatre of Broken Memories, by artist Bebe Blanco Agterberg can be seen from 9 December – 5 March 2022 at Foam. Open daily 10am - 6pm, Thurs/Fri 10am - 9pm.

Duct tape or duck tape is cloth-backed pressure-sensitive tape coated with polyethylene and it has a long-lasting synthetic adhesive. Because of all this it is soft, has good adhesion to various surfaces and high resistance to moisture. Easily can withstand temperatures up to 60 ° C, but it is recommended that is applied to temperatures approximately 20 ° C. Suitable for general purposes, but mostly for binding of insulation covers such as pipes and panels, also fit for general packaging and "emergency" mending of sunshades, etc.
Help with any kind of repair.
For the purpose of repair of cables, pipes and panels, as well as heavy packs, hotfixes and fixing of plastic, wood, cloth, tents and so on.
Duct tape can be used on paper, wood, concrete, metal, fabric, plastic, brick, itself, and more. Just be creative and you'll find the way to use.
Standard infection control measures require health-care workers to don sterile gowns, gloves and masks before entering the room of patients who are in isolation — even just to have a conversation — because of the risk of acquiring or spreading infection. Duct tape is used to mark a "red box" safe zone — a three-foot-square area extending from the door into the patient's room — from which hospital employees could communicate safely with isolated patients. The tape served as both a boundary and a reminder of the need for fresh sterile attire before crossing.
Very few canoeists would be caught without a roll of duct tape. Why? Hit a rock, rip open the hull, you're done canoeing unless you have duct tape along!
Along with a good sleeping bag, a Swiss army knife, and dry matches, duct tape makes sure outdoors enthusiasts are prepared for anything.
If you are somewhere in mountains and injured, you can use this tape like first aid kit. A great emergency substitute for splints, bandages, tourniquets, sutures, etc.
It is recommended that duct tape is applied on a dry, smooth and free from dust surfaces at temperatures around 20 °C, in order to achieve better bonding effect. And, it's easy to use ... just unroll, tear, and stick.
Reference: Other dimensions available on request. Delivery after a month.

Eric O'Flaherty returns to A's bullpen
By John Hickey | Correspondent, Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: June 2, 2015 at 11:10 am | UPDATED: August 15, 2016 at 9:56 am
The A's brought lefty reliever Eric O'Flaherty off the disabled list before Tuesday's game, sending right-hander Angel Castro to Triple-A to make room for him.
O'Flaherty, who threw once each for Triple-A Nashville and Class-A Stockton, said the time off was just what his shoulder needed and said he feels good enough that he could pitch in back-to-back games immediately, if the club needed him.
Oakland had high hopes this year for O'Flaherty, who was one of the best setup lefties in the game before Tommy John surgery slowed him. He pitched well enough in the second half of 2014 with a 1-0 record, 2.25 ERA and one save, but he had a miserable April with an 11.57 ERA.
He wouldn't put the blame for the bad April numbers on his shoulder problems, but said rather "it was just me sucking. It happens."
Melvin said he'd like to ease O'Flaherty back into action, and he may be able to have him available for just left-handed hitters, because the Tigers had just two left-handed hitters, Anthony Gose and Tyler Collins, in their starting lineup
For Castro, the demotion to Nashville was the second this year.
