GOES-S, GOES-T satellites on track for launch
Joe LatrellAugust 15th, 2017
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — In November 2016, the GOES-R spacecraft, part of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) system, was launched. It was the first in a new class of weather monitoring satellites built for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). After transitioning to a geostationary orbit, it gained a new name – GOES-16. Now two of the follow-up spacecraft, GOES-S and GOES-T, are on track to be completed and launched as scheduled.
NOAA's GOES-16 weather satellite to showcase its lightning detection capabilities
Tomasz NowakowskiFebruary 21st, 2017
NOAA's new highly advanced GOES-16 (formerly known as GOES-R) weather satellite, which has just completed its third month in space, is expected to provide crucial data necessary to detect the presence of lightning earlier and better than before.

To restore and preserve Edinburgh's reputation as a world class city, I propose a radical programme of pedestrianisation of heart of the city.
Edinburgh has not embraced pedestrianisation in any serious way, despite its historic centre and walkable scale.
Rather than re-visit the debate about congestion-charging, let's turn it on around and do a rolling programme of pedestrianisation, sold on its own benefits.
There could be some exceptions and of course provision would have to be made for deliveries and some local residents.
I would start with iconic streets such as Victoria Street and Cockburn Street and work outwards over a 3-5 year period.


Imagine Cinderella's glass slippers. They're diaphanous: thin, light, see-through, and delicate.
The Greek roots inside diaphanous literally mean "showing through." Dia means "through or across," and phainein means "to show, or to bring to light."
That means diaphanous is related to words like cellophane and fantasy (which, when you think about it, is something you mentally show to yourself) as well as words like diagonal, diadem, and diametric. Could you define those last two? How are they related to the idea of going across or through something?
And see if you can recall this synonym of diaphanous: something so thin, light, and delicate that it reminds you of the stuff spiderwebs are made of can be called g_____er.
Something diaphanous is thin, delicate, and sheer (or see-through).
1. Right before a noun, as in "a diaphanous thing."
When "translucent," "transparent," "gauzy," or even "pellucid" isn't quite fancy enough for the lovely thing you've got in mind, pick "diaphanous." This word describes things that are beautiful, poetic, often feminine, and often mysterious or dreamlike.
Talk about diaphanous leaves, wings, insects, membranes, streams, papers, foods, fabrics, curtains, pieces of clothing, glass walls and glass-enclosed rooms, etc.
Or be more abstract and talk about diaphanous music, diaphanous sounds, or anything with a diaphanous quality, splendor, beauty, charm, or grace.
The girls wear basic black leotards, their clean unpainted faces motionless with concentration, as they practice their ballet posture with Miss Lauren. Her class is about fundamentals, not elaborate makeup or diaphanous skirts.
The Glass Menagerie opens on a dreamlike set with diaphanous music. "The scene is memory and is therefore nonrealistic," Williams writes.
Look away from the screen to explain the definition in your own words. You'll know you understand what "diaphanous" means when you can explain it without saying "sheer" or "filmy."
Fill in the blanks: "(A particular song, poem, work of art, character, or performance) has a diaphanous quality, as if _____."
Example: "Elton John's 'Too Many Tears' has a diaphanous quality, as if sunlight is shining through it."
From the previous issue: From a 1982 film, what's the famous quote that includes the word PHONE?
Answer: From E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial: "E.T. phone home."
Try this today: From a 1987 film, what's the famous quote that includes the word CORNER?
2. Diaphanous _____ formed the wings of her _____ costume.

Mr. Straw: My hon. Friend is correct to say that we cannot walk away and ignore the situation. During the earlier part of this year, there was intense diplomatic activity to try to resolve the immediate crisis over Christmas and the new year. Then crises elsewhere in the world, particularly in the middle east, tended to take over the headlines and to consume the immediate concerns of Foreign Ministries around the world. It is extremely important that the international community stays engaged in this matter.
I understand what my hon. Friend's constituents feel because I have a great many constituents of Kashmiri origin, but we have to deal with the world as it is. To suggest or imply that the dispute can be resolved by an argument about the history is to suggest to the people who have been the victims of all this conflict that it is through the history that a solution lies. May I give a parallel example? If we put the adversaries in Northern Ireland in a room, they will argue until the cows come home about the history. My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister and his predecessor sought to get people to look forward rather than looking back. If there is to be a resolution of the Kashmiri dispute, it can only be by looking forward and by a direct dialogue between those two sovereign nations, India and Pakistan—with international encouragement, of course, but that is what has to happen.
Mr. Alex Salmond (Banff and Buchan): Does the Foreign Secretary accept that the capacity for direct diplomatic intervention by the United Kingdom is somewhat restricted by the fact that all sides in the conflict allocate to the UK, the ex-colonial power, a certain responsibility for the conflict in which they are engaged? Given that he thinks that the United Nations resolutions are unclear on the question of self-determination for the people of Kashmir, will he give his interpretation of what those UN resolutions mean? In that respect, he might find that the history of this matter is rather more important than he thinks.
Can the Foreign Secretary point the way forward in the current situation? He asks why it might be important not to sell conventional arms to either side in the conflict. May not our arguments for peace carry more moral force if we were not simultaneously selling people weapons of war? Might not that moral force be a factor in increasing the right hon. Gentleman's persuasiveness in these matters? If he does not think that, I fear the moral compass on the basis of which he has acted.
Mr. Straw: Neither in India nor in Pakistan were my hosts impolite enough to mention Britain's less than entirely glorious role in the initiation of this dispute. The hon. Gentleman is right to acknowledge it, but it has not so far affected our capacity to encourage both parties to resolve the matter peacefully.
On the UN Security Council resolutions, I think the best service I can provide the hon. Gentleman and the House is to make those available in the Library of the House, and I shall do so. They extend, particularly one of the key ones, to a great many pages and hundreds if not thousands of words.
10 Jun 2002 : Column 605
On the issue of arms sales, I may be wrong but I do not recall approving a single arms control licence in the past two months—neither does my hon. Friend the Member for Exeter, so the assumption that the hon. Gentleman makes is inaccurate. Since we have agreed robust national and EU criteria for arms control, it seems that that is the appropriate way in which to run our arms control system, rather than by some ad hoc process. The simple truth is that we have one of the most effective and thorough systems of arms control of any country in the world.
Mr. Gerald Kaufman (Manchester, Gorton): Having visited Jammu and Kashmir on a number of occasions been to both sides of the line of control and seen the festering misery in the refugee camps of Kashmiri Muslims in Azad Kashmir and of Hindu Pandits in Jammu, may I put it to my right hon. Friend that whatever force India is capable of deploying, there is no chance whatever of the dispute being settled until the Kashmiris' problem is settled? There is no more chance of its being solved by leaving it to India and Pakistan alone than there is of the middle east problem being solved by leaving that to Israel and Palestine alone.
Will my right hon. Friend confirm the policy of his predecessor, whereby the United Nations Security Council resolutions would remain valid? Will he also make it clear that until India is ready to negotiate, there is no possibility of its becoming a permanent member of the Security Council?
I further ask my right hon. Friend to take note of what Adya Rajkotia-Luthra, a seven-year-old Hindu girl, reportedly said a few days ago:
"I wish I could go to Vajpayee's house and ask him not to have a nuclear war over Kashmir. I would also tell him to settle Kashmir and stop all talk of war".
Are those not the most sensible and wise words to come out of Delhi for a long time?
Mr. Straw: As I have already said, I accept that the conflict has caused the death and suffering of thousands of Muslims and Hindus, and of thousands of Sikhs as well. My right hon. Friend has a particular criticism of the Government of India, and that is his privilege, but I should point out that there is a great deal to be said on both sides about the history of this conflict. For example, the fact cannot be avoided that over a period of years, successive Governments of Pakistan have, through their Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate, encouraged and funded terrorists—otherwise known as freedom fighters—to make incursions across the line of control as outsiders in that dispute, and to engage in mayhem and terrorism. I understand why many people of Kashmiri origin—including some of my own constituents—do not like to acknowledge that reality, but this House must acknowledge it, as the international community does.
As to the Government of India's becoming a permanent member of the Security Council of the United Nations, that has long been the position of Her Majesty's Government; indeed, it was the position of my predecessor.
Mr. Andrew MacKay (Bracknell): I strongly commend the Foreign Secretary's statement, but I should point out that it is only in the most serious situations that a Government
should ask their citizens to leave another country. If that is done in any other circumstances, it devalues the product to such an extent that in future dangerous situations, people might not leave the country concerned, and some might even travel to it. Given that we have seen on our television screens expatriates in Delhi and elsewhere suggesting that there is no need to leave, is the right hon. Gentleman totally satisfied that such recommendations are right in respect of all of India? Will he give the House a guarantee that if the situation continues to improve, he will keep his decision under constant review?
Mr. Straw: These decisions have been very difficult. We are caught between trying not to raise the anxiety of people in the region unnecessarily or "devalue"—to use the right hon. Gentleman's description—the currency of advice, and recognising our clear duty of care to British citizens and to our staff. Today's news could have been very different, as could tomorrow's. My judgment was that the changes to travel advice were appropriate and calibrated, and in a sense I am comforted by the fact that similar judgments were made by the American Secretary of State, Colin Powell, by the United Nations Secretary- General in respect of his staff, and by many other Governments around the world. Of course, the last thing that we wish to see is any restriction on travel to Pakistan or India, or—following on from that—any restriction on trade. Trade with India has taken off, and with our active support trade with Pakistan has expanded, following a change in the EU-Pakistan textile agreement that was reached at the beginning of this year.
The right hon. Gentleman asked whether we would keep the matter under review and change the travel advice when we think it safe to do so, and the answer to that question is yes.
Mr. Ben Chapman (Wirral, South): I share my right hon. Friend's pleasure at the optimistic signs that are emerging, not least because my daughter is currently in Madras and is seeking to fly home. Needless to say, I make no special plea for my daughter, concerned about her though I am; I know that she will work to find a solution to her own problem. However, her experience of going to the airline with which she is travelling was to find, at the end of last week, that all flights this week were full and waiting lists were closed. If Governments are to issue advice that their citizens should leave a particular country, it follows that matching provision should be made for airline capacity to carry those individual citizens out of that country. What steps are being taken to ensure that seats will be available to those who seek to travel?
Mr. Straw: I know that my hon. Friend is not seeking to make a special plea for his daughter, but such an example is a useful way of illuminating what may be a problem. Our general information is that although there are heavy bookings for flights out of the main airports in India and Pakistan, flights are not fully booked. I hope to follow up the matter that my hon. Friend has raised, and I will let him and the House know the result.
On the wider issue, we have made contingency arrangements to charter a number of flights if we judge that the news is going the wrong way, and we ourselves have to organise an evacuation of British citizens from the sub-continent—but I hope that that does not happen.


Our Unique Retriever solves the problem of staining formalin fixed tissues. This is an affordable solution to all known major problems with immunohistochemistry on paraffin sections. Ease of use combined with high reproducibility of the results will give you the best quality immunostaining.
The Retriever is a bench-top model for thermally processing slides of formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissues prior to immunostaining. The model has been designed to ensure identical processing of all the samples during a processing cycle, as well as the identical processing of the samples in individual sessions. The retriever preserves processed tissues.
Run antigen unmasking in 6 various buffers at once.
Perform gentle antigen retrieval that does not damage the tissue morphology.
Get identical results every time.
Compare series of slides treated in independent sessions.
How does the Retriever work?
Ok, basically it is a pressure cooker. However, a pressure cooker specially designed to unmask the antigen on tissue sections. The core principle is heating of the chambers with the slides at high temperature (>120°C) and high pressure. Sensors control the heating profile for the temperature and pressure to be reached at certain pace and over certain time. We did a lot of tests to find the optimal settings.
When the required temperature is reached, it will be kept for several minutes. After that the slides will be cooling over 2 hours. Specially designed thermal walls of the unit control the speed of cooling of the inner chamber and slides.
Who would benefit from using our Retriever?
Investigative Pathology, where the high quality of staining (a picture may be published!) is required.
Deparaffinized sections on slides are placed into the Processing (Tissue Slide) Chambers. Retriever can accommodate simultaneously from 1 to 6 Chambers, which allows you to process a series of slides in up to 6 different antigen unmasking buffers within the same session. Fill the chambers with a buffer of your choice.
Place the Chambers into the Rack. Fill the Retriever with 750 ml of deionized/distilled water. Place the Rack into Retriever. Close the lid by a simple twist.
Push the Start button. The tissues will be processed automatically. In about two hours (depends on the load) you can open the lid and proceed immunostaining.
Fuses- Located under the control module, fuses F1 OA, 32 x 6.3mm, ceramic sand filled, Mains plug top fuse (User replaceable), F1 3A to BS1362 UK ONLY.
Rating- Models are rated continuously for intermittent use.
Body- Deep drawn aluminium. Lid - Aluminium.
Heater- Externally surface mounted mechanically fixed electric element.
Temperature Cut Out- Thermal fuse.
Pressure- Calibrated pressure release valve.
Max. Single Fault Temperature- 133.3°C.
Environment Conditions- indoor use - temperature 5°C to 40°C - altitude up to 2000m - maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31°C decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40°C. - mains supply voltage fluctuations not to exceed +10% of the nominal voltage.
Input Connections- Mains inlet socket 'hot' format conforming to IEC 302.
Safety Shut Down- See 'Temperature Cut Out'.
If you already know the buffer that can be used for Microwave treatments of sections in order to unmask you antigen of interest, the high chances are that the same buffer may be used in Retriever.
To improve the morphology of tissue of the processed sections, use one of our supplied ready-to-use buffers by choosing them according to pH.
G variants of the same buffers for a more gentle processing of the tissues.
The fixative used and the degree of fixation.
Sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue of human sigmoid were deparaffinized and processed in Retriever to unmask the antigen. We used one cycle in R-Buffer C (pH 6.0) with cooling of the slides overnight. Antibody MIB-1 against proliferation marker Ki-67 (nuclear) was used together with R-Detect HRP detection system for immunostaining of sections.
Sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue of human duodenum were deparaffinized and processed in Retriever to unmask the antigen. We used one cycle in R-Buffer C (pH 6.0) with cooling of the slides overnight. Antibody PC-10 against proliferation marker PCNA nuclear) was used together with R-Detect HRP detection system for immunostaining of sections.
Sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue of human sigmoid were deparaffinized and processed in Retriever to unmask the antigen. We used one cycle in R-Buffer A (pH 8.1) with cooling of the slides overnight. Antibody #4B11 against T-cell marker CD8 (cell membrane) was used together with R-Detect HRP detection system for immunostaining of sections.
Sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue of human cervix were deparaffinized and processed in Retriever to unmask the antigen. We used one cycle in R-Buffer C (pH 6.0) with cooling of the slides overnight. Antibody HECD-1 against cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin was used together with R-Detect HRP detection system for immunostaining of sections.
The suggested protocol for processing tissues is optimized for routinely formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded material. If the tissue used for sections was insufficiently fixed, overfixed (was left in formalin for too long), or other fixative was used, the protocol may require some modifications. The easiest correction is to use EMS's own specially formulated buffers for a gentle (G) tissue processing. Use them instead of the basic buffers. For overfixed material try using U buffer or run the additional cycle in the same buffer.
Choosing Buffer: Correction for the Nature of the Antigen and Epitope.
Most of the nuclear antigens(apoptosis-related, survival-related, proliferation-related) R: Buffer A (or AG).
The operation manual for the Retriever is online. Please click here.
Publications: Real-world examples of the retriever in various types of research and clinical studies.
Epitope recovery on formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue sections, requires heat-induced treatment in buffer or, sometimes, proteolitic treatment of the deparaffinized tissue section. Which buffer to use, greatly depends on the exact antibody and the properties of the recognized epitope, therefore, one can find in literature and practice use of many buffers, including Citrate pH 3.4, Citrate 6.0, EDTA 8.0, Tris 9.0- 10.0, Tris-EDTA, etc.
Moreover, for individual antigens also the time of recovery in the individual buffer should be defined, as this may be different, and the treatment often destroys the epitope.
EMS offers a novel (patent-pending) technology for epitope recovery, primarily based on reversing the fixation effects of formaldehyde, which created links primarily between ε-amino groups of lysine and other amino-groups.
The buffer was extensively tested in pathology Departments in United Kingdom, and has shown excellent results when used with different antibodies, including those that normally require for successful staining treatment only in Low, or only High pH buffers, or require protolithic treatment.
The EMS Universal Buffer may be used in any heat-induced epitope recovery system (the time and temperature of treatment should be tested), but was specifically adjusted for tissue sections processing in our Antigen Retriever (62700 Series).
Using our Universal Buffer in our Retriever guarantees the highest rate of success in recovering epitope for any antibody, especially one that was never previously used on formalin-fixed sections.
R-Universal Buffer is supplied as 10x concentrate. For epitope recovery dilute 1 part of stock with 9 parts of deionized water.
For epitope recovery dilute 1 part of stock with 9 parts of deionized water.
The preparation is stable for 1 year when stored unopened at +4°C. Every lot is issued with a certificate indicating the expiry date.
After opening, store at +4°C in the refrigerator and use within 6 months.
Each lot is certified for compliance to specifications. The product is produced under DIN EN ISO 9001 :2008 Quality Management system for the products in Immunoassay Development and Measurement, Products for Bioanalytics and lmmunoassays.
Immunosaver allows for Immunostaining with quick and easy activation of cell membranes and the nucleus. Immunosaver provides efficient antigen retrieval for successful immunostaining of a wide variety of antigens under optimized conditions.
Protocols for both Light and Electron Microscopy may be found with this reagent.
Retriever Tissue Slides are high adhesive glass microscope slides for paraffin-embedded tissue section, including tissue arrays. The slides were designed and optimized for the EMS Antigen Retriever (62700 series) to preserve the section attachment and tissue morphology during heat-induced epitope recovery in Retriever in pH6 (Low), pH9 (High), or Universal Retriever buffer.
Slides can also be successfully used in any other epitope-recovery technology (autoclave, microwave, proteolitic) and show superior performance over positively charged or polylysine-coated slides, especially in high pH buffers and recovery buffers containing EDTA.
Dimensions approximately 76 x 26mm, Thickness 1.0mm.


Holly: Why are they in Ceannis at all? They're not diplomats. Not politicians. They don't have to work, or study . . .
The days get so much longer up north. Hard to be a bloodthirsty terror of the night . . .
. . . when you live in a place where the sun doesn't set for a month.
Vampire: No, I am not receiving visitors. I'm not getting out of bed until autumn.
Juniper: But don't worry so much! These are law-abiding bloodthirsty terrors of the night. Sure, the laws are more relaxed on Sønheic soil . . . including their embassies . . . but they can't . . . ah . . . You know what, let me look up the specifics.
Yeah, because anyone with that much money and power cares about the local laws.
You might, if it's all that stands be tween you and stab happy vampire hunters.
Anyone recognize the term "black ribboners"? They certainly agreed with "SmallAustrianVillage". Really like the way that was explained in (I think it was titled) "Truth".
That was about when I stopped reading Discworld. Apparently I missed out.
Sorry, I never got into the Discworld books. Is that pretty much the terms of black Ribboners?
The Black Ribbon Society was a group of vampires trying to abstain from drinking blood. Like a temperance movement, but toothier.
Fascinating. What do they imbibe instead?
The L-Space wiki doesn't mention what they substitute in Uberwald.
Given the nature of the Uberwald, treacle would be my guess…but I doubt that there are too many black ribboners in that place.
Lady Margolotta of Überwald feeds her addiction with political machinations, IIRC. But she's pro-Vimes, so she's one of the good ones.
That said, Black Ribboners undergoing an unusual level of stress have been known to need something juicy to sink their teeth into, e.g. an apple or beetroot.

The Blood and the Shroud - New Evidence That the World's Most Sacred Relic is Real
The Shroud of Turin remains one of the enduring mysteries of our age. No convincing explanation has yet been given for the "negative" image of a crucified man transferred to a length of cloth and preserved in Turin for the last four centuries. Although radiocarbon dating of the fabric in 1988 indicated it to be medieval, synchronous with the Shroud's first recorded appearance in the 1350s, there is still no satisfactory explanation for the image itself. Was it painted? If so, by whom? How could the artist have understood perspective before this technique was "discovered" in the Renaissance? How could he have painted an image in negative with no means to see and check it? With so many questions about the Shroud as inexplicably unresolved as ever; with the radiocarbon dating findings only deepening the riddle, not solving it; and with the Shroud about to be shown again, in 1998 and 2000; an overview and an up-to-date consideration of the evidence is overdue. Here, Ian Wilson returns to the subject of his international bestseller, "The Shroud of Turin", to reveal such startling findings as the discovery of human blood and DNA on the Shroud; the uncovering of historical evidence that something very like the Shroud existed at the time Jesus lived; the discovery of a "bioplastic coating" of living microorganisms which, if it had been carbondated in 1988, would have indicated that the Shroud was some one thousand years older than it was thought to be; and the new analysis of the photographic-negative-like image on the Shroud. Wilson's landmark book on this subject, "The Shroud of Turin", was published in 1978. In the intervening twenty years, in addition to the radiocarbon dating, much additional research has been done on the Shroud, and the dating process itself scrutinized. Ian Wilson's pursuit of every discipline related to the Shroud, including art history, physiology, chemistry, microbiology, photography, and archaeology, has equipped him to give the most authoritative answer yet to the question: Did the Shroud wrap the body of Christ? His enthralling text, with its objective but persuasive answers, tells us as much as it is currently possible to know. It also makes it possible for us to believe.
Excellent pages, a little edge and D/J wear.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Volkswagen would repair or buy back polluting diesel vehicles and pay each owner as much as $10,000 under a $14.7 billion deal the car maker has reached to settle lawsuits stemming from its emissions cheating scandal, a person briefed on the settlement talks said Monday.
The figure would be the largest auto scandal settlement in U.S. history and a huge step in Volkswagen's efforts to address the legal fallout from its admission that its vehicles were designed to fool emissions tests.
The deal sets aside $10 billion to repair or buy back roughly 475,000 polluting Volkswagen vehicles with 2-liter diesel engines, and to compensate each owner with an additional payment of between $5,100 and $10,000, the person said. The person asked not to be identified because the deal will not be filed in court until Tuesday, and a judge has ordered attorneys not to talk about it before then.

Selma Municipal Airport  (Selma Selfield Airport) was five miles east-northeast of Selma, Alabama, United States.

History
The field was always closely tied to operations at Craig, and served as an auxiliary field for a number of years during World War II, with the initiation of undergraduate pilot training for the Air Force through the 1960s. Selma Municipal Airport closed in 1978 when the City of Selma relocated the municipal airport to the larger Craig Air Force Base, which was closed by the Air Force after the Vietnam War.

The first airline flights were Delta DC-3s in 1951–52; Southern replaced Delta in 1960 and pulled out around the end of 1963.

Today the former airport is used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for storage and maintenance of a large number of manufactured housing units to be used as temporary housing for disaster survivors.

I will consider applications for graduate students for fall 2022.
I study adolescent development, with an emphasis on LGBTQ+ health and wellbeing. Much of my research is guided by a commitment to create social change to support healthy development. I am most proud of my research that has been used to shape local and state policies and laws for school safety, and my most rewarding work is with trainees: I work with an amazing group of postdoctoral scholars, graduate and undergraduate students, and I find supporting their development and learning from them to be the most satisfying part of my job.
Read profiles of current graduate students: Meg Bishop, Armin Dorri, and Andre Gonzales Real.
I have been an elected board member of the National Council on Family Relations (2005-2008), was President of the Society for Research on Adolescence (2012-2014), and am a member of the Governing Council of the Society for Research in Child Development (2019-2025), the Boards of the Council on Contemporary Families and the New York Institute for the Humanities and Social Studies, and served for many years on the Board of Directors for SIECUS: Sex Ed for Social Change.
Diversity & Inclusion: Diversity and inclusion are a central focus of my research, teaching, service, and administrative leadership. I was pleased that our department received recognition for outstanding leadership in diversity in fall 2017. I have chaired the college's Diversity & Inclusion Committee when it was established in 2016, until 2019. For the university, I co-chair both the President's LGBTQ Advisory Council, as well as the Provost's Advisory Council on LGBTQ+ Faculty Access, Equity and Inclusion. My undergraduate teaching is designed to expose students to diverse perspectives and experiences in adolescence and human sexuality, and my research focuses on intersectionality in the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ populations, with a focus on practices and policies that contribute to wellbeing.

Q: Beamer frame break is not where I want it I want to have control over where the frame breaks. This is my first beamer presentation I am creating , yet I couldn't find an answer to my problem.
Consider the following MWE:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\title{MEW}

\begin{document}
\section{Intro}
\begin{frame}[allowframebreaks,noframenumbering,fragile]{Theoretical Introduction}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
\framebreak
Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
\end{frame}
\end{document}

The output is this:

I want the second frame to start with

Duis aute irure dolor in ...

For some reason TeX decided to break it at "reprehenderit in voluptate...".
How can I tell Beamer and TeX to break the frame where I decided to put \framebreak?
Another question: Isn't the option noframenumbering should suppress the appending of the roman numerals to the second (and possibly the following third and fourth) frames? It doesn't seem to have effect.
I am saying it again, I couldn't find an answer on tex.se about this issue.
Note: I compile the .tex file on Overleaf.

A: The beamer manual explicitly states

Do not use the option allowframebreaks except for long bibliographies.

I therefore suggest the following solution that uses to different frames in combination with a command that stores the shared frame title.
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[english]{babel}

\begin{document}
\section{Intro}
\newcommand{\introframetitle}{Introductory remarks}
\begin{frame}{\introframetitle}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{\introframetitle}
Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
\end{frame}
\end{document}

If you prefer a solution that just uses a single frame, you could alternatively use overlays:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[english]{babel}

\begin{document}
\section{Intro}
\begin{frame}{Introductory remarks}
\only<1>{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.}

\only<2>{Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

A: With an additional \linebreak the second frame will start with

Duis aute irure

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\title{MEW}

\begin{document}
\section{Intro}
\begin{frame}[allowframebreaks,noframenumbering,fragile]{Theoretical Introduction}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
\framebreak\linebreak
Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
\end{frame}

N Macedonia to hold Presidential polls today
Skopje, May 5: North Macedonians are set to cast their ballots in a presidential runoff on Sunday after none of the main candidates, managed to gain the required majority in the first round of election.The first round was held on April 21.
Stevo Pendarovski, the joint candidate of North Macedonia's ruling Social Democrats and 30 other parties, secured a razor-thin lead over Gordana Siljanovska Davkova, backed by the main opposition The Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organisation – Democratic Party for Macedonian National Unity (VMRO-DPMNE) party.
Both secured over 42 per cent of votes. Blerim Reka, a candidate supported by two small ethnic Albanian political parties, got some 10 per cent. The presidential election is the country's first vote after a deal between Athens and Skopje on the name change came into force, opening the door to Macedonia's membership of the European Union and NATO.
Siljanovska Davkova, who is also a vocal opponent of the deal, has repeatedly said that the agreement runs against both national legislation and the UN charter and principles.(UNI)

Remembering... Audra Lindley
She was, of course, unforgettable as Helen Roper, the over-sexed middle-aged landlady on Three's Company, which was itself a remake of the UK sitcom Man About The House. So memorable was Audra Lindley's chemistry with Norman Fell, in fact, that their characters were spun-off into another show The Ropers - which was itself a remake of UK sitcom George and Mildred, and which had itself been spun-off from Man About The House. Got all that?
The Ropers was also notable for costarring Jeffrey Tambor; despite the abundance of comedic talent, the show lasted just 28 episodes. Following the cancellation of The Ropers in 1979 Lindley had a memorable turn in the 1985 film Desert Hearts, and finally played Phoebe's grandmother on Friends.
What I didn't know was that she was also in Bridget Loves Bernie, an obscure bit of TV from the 1972-3 season that gave Meredith Baxter Birney her first break, or that she'd appeared on Another World, playing Liz Matthews for six years from early on (1964-69).
To me, though, she'll always be Mrs. Roper. Though she was clearly in the show initially for comic relief, she rapidly became its heart and soul, exuding warmth and humour as she connived with Jack, Janet, and Chrissy, to put one over on Mr. Roper in episode after episode.
Born on this day in 1913, when Audra Lindley died of leukemia in October 1997 she was still working, appearing on Cybill. She was survived by her husband, actor James Whitmore, and five children by her first marriage to Dr. Hardy Ulm, to whom she was married from 1943-60.

Phil Hartman: Gone But Not Forgotten
It's amazing the stuff you learn when blogging. Today I learned that, even when what you know about someone is impressive, you can always learn something new about them that makes them more impressive still...
For instance, today I learned that Phil Hartman was Canadian, born on this day in 1948, although his family moved to the US when he was 9. He was fluent in German, which always impresses me, mainly because it's my least favourite language; I have to admire the intestinal fortitude of anyone who dares to speak it. He was also a graphic designer who created the iconic line drawing of a running horse on the Poco album Legend.
Phil Hartman has long been my favourite cast member from Saturday Night Live; on a show renowned for the talent and variety of its performers, Hartman was clearly the most talented, the most varied of them all. Whether doing an impersonation (Reagan, Sinatra, Clinton) or a character of his own (the recurring Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, the one-off - and my personal favourite - Suzan, or a score of others) his commitment and focus were admirable. When he left after eight seasons his tenure was then the longest of any cast member to date.
Hartman's considerable gifts were also well-used on The Simpsons, where he memorably voiced both Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz. He played Captain Carl on Pee-wee's Playhouse. He added to the pool of talent on Newsradio and made a couple of brilliant appearances on 3rd Rock from the Sun; a cliffhanger on that show had to be re-written to accommodate his untimely death.
In May 1998 his evil bitch of a wife murdered him before killing herself (at the time she was also drunk, coked off her tits, and taking Zoloft); she's now burning in Hell, the world has been deprived of his many gifts, their children are orphans, and as you can tell I'm still bitter.

Happy Birthday Steve Whitmire
Steve Whitmire was ten years old the first time he wrote to Jim Henson; amazingly (or not, considering) Henson wrote him back. Thus began a long and distinguished career for Whitmire which, given his relative youth, is still in its prime.
Whether on The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, Sesame Street, or in any of the scores of movies and other projects in which the Muppets have appeared, Whitmire has brought his particular verve and love of puppetry to everything he does.
Currently the voice of Kermit the Frog, Whitmire's other characters include Rizzo the Rat, Wembley Fraggle, and Andy Pig. He has also taken over the characters of Beaker, Ernie, and Statler, which were created by others.

"Bein' Green" by Kermit the Frog
Seeing as today would have been Jim Henson's birthday (as well as being Steve Whitmire's) a little Kermit the Frog is in order. Of course, I could just as easily say 'seeing as the sun came out today' or 'seeing as I woke up today'; every day a little Kermit is in order.
Bein' Green was written by Joe Raposo for the first season of Sesame Street in 1969 - which is where this performance comes from - and it has since become Kermit's theme song.

In Memoriam: F. Scott Fitzgerald
In a way it seems apt that he excelled at short fiction, for the life of F. Scott Fitzgerald was both short and a brilliant fiction itself...
The ease with which he moved among the idle rich belied the fact that he needed to be anything but idle in order to be rich enough to pay for merely the appearance of wealth. Throughout the 1920s, while still productive, he produced an extraordinary array of short stories, and three novels: in 1920 This Side of Paradise, from 1922 The Beautiful and the Damned, and in 1925 his masterpiece The Great Gatsby.
By the 1930s, of course, the decade-long party of the Jazz Age was over, the cafes to which Cafe Society had flocked all shuttered; his wife Zelda's descent into madness and his own alcoholism seemed to mirror the Great Depression into which the nation had fallen, and henceforth there was never enough money or time to revive the early promise he'd shown.
Born on this day in 1896, Fitzgerald died in December 1940.

...the lyrics to the previous song.
Load up on guns
Its fun to lose
And to pretend
Shes overboard
Myself assured
I know I know
A dirty word
Hello (x 16)
With the lights out its less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Im worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Just what it takes
And yet I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard
Its hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana
As difficult as it may seem to believe, my musical taste was not always as broad as it is now...
For instance, I didn't like Nirvana when the Nevermind album was released, on this day in 1991. As was so often the case back then, if the fans of a given band frightened me, I tended to stay away from both the fans and the band. And in those days, nothing frightened me more than the very scary people who were raving about Nirvana.
In my defense, at that time I was living in Kelowna, where most of the radio stations were talk AM, and the only FM station played extreme easy listening*. I also didn't have Muchmusic then, and so all I listened to was Madonna, whatever cassettes I could afford to buy, and the music that got played one night a month at the local gay dance.
It wasn't until I saw Nirvana on MTV Unplugged that I got what everyone else was going on about. It was only a short while later, of course, that Kurt Cobain committed suicide.
I get it now, though, and Smells Like Teen Spirit is seldom off my iPod these days.
*I mean, like, Mantovani's version of Anne Murray's hits... Pure elevator music.


When first sitting in the meditation alcove in my house at Yogaville, August 1985, I was amazed to see a rainbow globe of light appear around the flame as I lit the altar candle.
Our house was built during the winter and spring of 1985 in preparation for our occupancy the summer the 1985. My family moved to Yogaville, 50 miles south of Charlottesville, Virginia, to help build the LOTUS, Light of Truth Universal Shrine.
In a house blessing ceremony with the builders and monks present, Sri Swami Satchidananda laid a Shiva Linga at the north-east corner of the footings before the concrete was poured. And it was above this location in the house that we built our personal meditation altar.
Whenever the candle on our altar was lit, the halo appeared surrounding the flame as a rainbow globe.
The three-dimensional halo of rainbow light appeared while looking at it from any angle. I have never seen such a phenomena before or since.
I took this as a beautiful manifestation of the inner meaning of the LOTUS, one light illuminating all, everywhere.
The rainbow of light showed me that we are surrounded by variety in life, while the source, the energy of all is ever emanating without limitation from the very central point (flame) of our soul living with our dear Creator, Sustainer.

O Escândalo dos Cachirules (também conhecido como "El Cachirulazo") foi um episódio futebolístico que aconteceu em 1988, quando descobriu-se que a seleção juvenil mexicana tinha pelo menos quatro jogadores acima da idade na disputa das eliminatórias para o Mundial sub-20 de 1989. A investigação resultou em uma punição internacional de dois anos a todas as seleções do México, e é considerada até hoje como uma das sanções mais fortes da história já impostas pela FIFA a uma seleção.

Este episódio ganhou esta alcunha devido a um personagem da televisão mexicana da década de 50 chamado "Cachirulo", que tinha uma idade muito menor do que a do ator que o interpretava (Enrique Alonso).

O escândalo
Em abril de 1988, a seleção sub-20 do México estava na Guatemala participando de uma competição classificatória para o Mundial da categoria quando um jornalista chamado Antonio Moreno descobriu que os jogadores mexicanos Aurelio Rivera, Gerardo Jiménez, José de la Fuente e José Luis Mata tinham uma idade maior do que o limite permitido pela FIFA. Rivera afirmou em entrevistas que todos os jogadores da seleção sub-20 (exceto Marco Antonio Ruíz e José Antonio Noriega) eram mais velhos que a idade limite para defendê-la, porém tais declarações não foram confirmadas.

Mesmo que essa prática fossem corriqueira entre as seleções pelo mundo, o que agravou a situação do México foi o fato de que meses antes a FIFA havia lançado uma declaração onde afirmava que a partir daquela data não permitiria mais nenhuma espécie de erro em relação às idades dos jogadores que fossem participar de competições da entidade.

A histórica punição
Considerada até hoje como uma das sanções mais fortes da história, a FIFA (que na época tinha como presidente o brasileiro João Havelange) resolveu banir o México por dois anos de todas as competições oficiais de futebol (inicialmente, a punição foi feita pela CONCACAF, que excluiu os resultados do time sub-20, substituído pela Costa Rica), o que impossibilitou a participação do país nas Olimpiadas de Seul em 1988 (em seu lugar, entrou a Guatemala) e principalmente na Copa do Mundo de 1990. Assim, craques como Hugo Sánchez, Carlos Hermosillo, Ricardo Peláez, Alberto García Aspe, entre outros, não puderam participar daquela Copa que tinha tudo para ser uma das melhores da história do México.

Os pivôs do escândalo
 Aurelio Rivera: capitão da seleção sub-20, o zagueiro que defendia na época o Tampico Madero teria falsificado sua idade em 7 anos (nasceu em 1961, sendo o mais velho do elenco).
 Gerardo Jiménez: nascido oficialmente em 1968, o meio-campista do Monterrey adulterou sua idade em 2 anos.
 José de la Fuente: também atleta do Monterrey na época, o atacante foi outro que teve sua verdadeira idade revelada (também nasceu em 1968).
 José Luis Mata: então jogador do Atlas, falsificou sua idade em 4 anos (nasceu em 1964).

BBC pulls controversial royal documentary about spin after death of Princess Diana
Radio Times reveals last-minute decision to postpone BBC2 broadcast followed legal intervention
The BBC has pulled from the schedules a controversial documentary which claims 'spin' was used on behalf of the royal family to win favour with the public after the death of Princess Diana.
Radio Times understands that the decision to postpone BBC2's transmission of Reinventing The Royals came after an intervention from lawyers known to represent senior members of the royal family, including the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.
The BBC2 documentary is presented by Steve Hewlett, who was the editor of Panorama when the programme's interview with Princess Diana in 1995 sparked a crisis in relations between the BBC and the royal family.
Unlike most programmes about the royal family since then, Reinventing the Royals has been made without the close cooperation or involvement of Buckingham Palace or Clarence House.
The Corporation's relations with the royals have been fragile since 'Queen-gate' in 2007 when the controller of BBC1 resigned over a misleading trailer for a fly-on-the-wall film about the monarch.
Radio Times understands that the new two-part documentary, which was to have started on Sunday January 4 at 9pm, was seen and approved by senior executives at BBC2 before it was given such a prestigious prime time slot.
The decision to postpone the broadcast until later in the New Year is believed to have been taken by James Harding, head of BBC news and current affairs. Danny Cohen, BBC director of television is also understood to have seen the film.
The postponement decision was taken after the programme was included in schedules released by the BBC for inclusion in television listing magazines. Extensive details of the programme are revealed, however, in an article published exclusively in the new issue of Radio Times written by Mr Hewlett.
He says the documentary includes the first-ever television interview with Sandy Henney, who was press secretary to Prince Charles at the time of Diana's death. In the interview, Ms Henney, who was in London in the days after the Princess's death, says: "I remember briefing one of our private secretaries on the phone saying, 'I know you're seeing this on television but you really have to be here to feel the atmosphere. The people here are really anti-monarchy.' I was really worried about where it was going to go."
Ms Henney goes on to describe how the Prince of Wales' public image was in tatters when she took up her post in 1993: "He was getting some pretty virulent criticism – bad father, unloving husband. I think he was pretty hurt… if you've got a middle-aged balding man and a beautiful princess, it's a no-brainer as to who is going to get the media coverage."
Mr Hewlett says in his article for Radio Times that Prince Charles hired Mark Bolland from the Press Complaints Commission to act as entirely new sort of a royal media manager – a spin doctor. He quotes one royal commentator describing Mr Bolland as a genius who was very good at pulling strings and playing with the press but whom Princes William and Harry called 'Blackadder".
Mr Bolland tried to repair his client's battered image, says Mr Hewlett, by taking every opportunity to show his different side as a single parent and caring father. His other principal objective was to bring about a degree of public acceptance for the woman the Prince described as a 'non-negotiable' part of his life – Camilla Parker Bowles – a campaign known to palace insiders as 'Operation Mrs PB'.
In the article for Radio Times, Mr Hewlett says Prince William was left distraught when details of his first meeting with Mrs Parker-Bowles at St James Palace made headlines in the Sun ten months after his mother's death, just before his 16th birthday: 'The first Sandy Henney over in the press office knew of the meeting was when Sun reporter Charles Rae telephoned her. She had to break the news to William that The Sun had the story."
Ms Henney says in her interview for the documentary: "He (William) was understandably really upset because it was private. And apart from being angry and upset that this had got out, he wanted to know how it had happened."
Mr Hewlett writes: "In fact news of the meeting had leaked accidentally from one of Camilla's staff but all the detail, Rae says, was furnished by Bolland – a version of events Bolland wholly rejects. In any case, Henney describes it as a 'defining moment' for Prince William, who felt as if he had been used to further his father's interests."
The programme also includes an interview with Tom Bradby, a one-time royal correspondent and personal confidant of the princes, now ITV's political editor, who says the princes have never lost their disdain for the press. 'William and Harry were very angry. They thought that the media had hounded their mother to death. I don't mean they vaguely thought that – they actually thought that's what had happened."
Mr Hewlett says: "For William, protecting his personal privacy and that of his family has perhaps understandably become a virtual obsession. But with anything not classed as 'public duty' regarded as off limits, and in a new media age dominated by the internet, with all the accompanying expectations of openness and transparency, there are real concerns even within the royal household over the sustainability of William's approach. Can a future monarch be so media shy in the modern age? Many doubt it."
The BBC said in a brief statement today that the programme was being delayed into the New Year "until a number of issues including use of archive footage" were resolved.

The Friday Five: Five Current ERISA Litigation Highlights - May 2022

Free Article Limit This Month

This month's Friday Five covers cases relating to a claimant's second chance when a lawyer misses a court deadline, whether certain voluntary benefits fall within a broader ERISA plan, a court deciding that an insurer was "probably not wrong," judicial reconsideration to mold the time period for benefits awarded, and an insurer's duty to consider particular hazards of a claimant's occupation.
The Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr Employee Benefits/ERISA Litigation Team
Claimant Granted Another Chance After Attorney Misses Filing Deadline. In a recent life insurance dispute, the court granted the insurer's motion for judgment on the pleadings uncontested after the claimant failed to file a timely response. But, a few days after dismissing the case, the claimant asked for a second chance, which the court allowed. Apparently, the claimant's counsel marked the incorrect response deadline on the calendar, which resulted in the missed filing. The court, in a rather colorful opinion, noted that "[m]istakes happen. That's true in life, and it's true in the practice of law (to the extent that's not real life)." As such, the court refused to detriment the client for counsel's inadvertent mistake and reopened the case to allow a decision on the merits. Fuhrer v. The Hartford Life & Accid. Ins. Co., No. 21-5040, 2022 WL 970848 (E.D. Pa. Mar. 31, 2022).
Court Determines Separate and Voluntary AD&D Policy Falls Within Larger ERISA Plan After Initially Triggering Safe Harbor. In an accident death and dismemberment (AD&D) benefits case, the insurer denied a claim for AD&D benefits under a provision excluding coverage for death while intoxicated. The parties first sparred over a motion to dismiss state court claims related to the AD&D policy, which was a voluntary add-on benefit for employees to choose (and pay for). The court first decided, in favor of the plaintiff, that the AD&D policy fell under an ERISA safe harbor exempting benefits that are paid for solely by the employee, among other requirements. Later in the opinion, the court backtracked in favor of the insurer and decided that the AD&D policy was still part of the overall ERISA plan offered by the employer, which brought the AD&D policy back within ERISA's governance. According to the court, because the voluntary AD&D plan was so closely related to, and integrated in, the overall employer plan, it was part of the larger benefits scheme. As such, the court determined that ERISA preempted the state court claims and granted the insurer's motion to dismiss. Garrity v. Sun Life & Health Ins. Co., No. 20-1334, 2022 WL 972290 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 21, 2022).
Court Decides that Insurer was "Probably Not Wrong," Which was Enough to Win Summary Judgment. In a long-term disability benefits case, the claimant was approved and received benefits for approximately six years, when the insurer terminated benefits due to lack of support for continued disability. The insurer relied on a lack of support from treating physicians, independent medical reviews, surveillance footage and other sources to terminate the claim. Even though the plaintiff continued to receive Social Security Disability Benefits and had some support in the record, the court decided that "[t]he challenged benefits decision was probably not wrong, and it was certainly not 'arbitrary and capricious.'" While the court did not provide an exceedingly glowing endorsement of the correctness of the insurer's decision, it still granted summary judgment in the insurer's favor. Boatwright v. Aetna Life Ins. Co., No. 20-2165, 2022 WL 1015785 (M.D. Fla. Apr. 4, 2022).
Court Grants Remand to Determine Whether Benefits Should Extend to Time of Judgment. The plaintiff in a long-term disability benefits case won summary judgment in March 2022, where the court determined that she was due benefits. The court, however, did not delineate whether the insurer erred in its determination that the plaintiff was not disabled up to the time of judgment in March 2022, or whether the determination only extended through August 2020, when the administrative record closed. Despite the plaintiff's attempts to block the remand, including various procedural challenges, the court agreed with the insurer that there was a lack of evidence to evaluate the plaintiff's disability between the close of the administrative record and date of judgment. Therefore, the court ordered a remand for the insurer to evaluate disability during the intervening period. Chicco v. First Unum Life Ins. Co., No. 20-10593, 2022 WL 973733 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 30, 2022).
Insurer Must Consider Specific Occupational Duties in Deciding Disability Claim. In a recent long-term disability dispute, the plaintiff worked for a logistics company and drove large, eighteen-wheel tractor trailers containing heavy materials around the country. The plaintiff relied on strict federal regulations and company safety standards, and the inherent stressors of the job, to argue that his anxiety, which worsened after an on-the-job collision with a bus on the highway, prevented him from performing his own occupation. The court agreed with the plaintiff and found that it was irrational of the insurer to ignore the mental capacity necessary for truck drivers to safely perform their jobs, and, in particular, federal regulations that set forth the emotional requirements of a driver to handle commercial driving responsibilities. The court ultimately capped long-term disability benefits based on the 24-month mental disorder limitation in the policy. Whetstone v. United of Omaha

St. Gregorios Orthodox Syrian Parish, AMBARNATH
May 11, 2015 | Posted by admin in Parishes
HISTORY OF AMBARNATH PARISH
Ambarnath St. Gregorios Orthodox Syrian Parish is a registered body under The Bombay Public Trust Act Vide No-D/55,Thane.Today we have got a beautiful Church, a Community Hall, a Parish Office Room, a Parsonage, a Sexton's accommodation room and a Spacious Basement Property in the adjacent building. More importantly all spiritual organizations of our Parish are actively functioning in our Church.
In the year 1965, a very small group of people residing at Ambarnath, who were then members of St.Mary's O S Church, Dadar, took up the idea of conducting regular church services at Ambarnath to avoid the inconvenience of travelling all the way to Dadar to attend regular church services. They took up their that great desire to the then Metropolitian of Bombay Diocese and the Catholicose of the East, H.H. Moran Mar Baselious Mathews I, who was kind enough to recognize this group as an independent congregation from August 1973 and gave consent to conduct Holy Qurbana at Ambarnath once in month and the same was conducted in the Fatima School Hall.
On 4th Nov, 1979, the then Metropolitian of Bombay Diocese Late H.G. Dr. Philipose Mar Theophilus declared the Ambarnath Congregation, which consisted of some 33 members ass an independent Parish after the Blessed name of St. Gregorios OF Parumala. By November 1980, we purchased a plot land at Ambarnath –West, where the present Church is situated.
On 3rd October 1982, Late Lamented H.G. Dr. Philipose Mar Theophilus laid the foundation stone of the church building. With the dedicated leadership of our then vicar Rev.Fr. P.J.James and the whole –hearted co-operation and support of the parish members, the construction of the ground floor of the Church building was completed by the middle of 1984 and a temporary Consecration of the Church was conducted on 4th Sept, 1984 by Late H.G. Dr. Philipose Mar Theophilus. The parish members then had the vision of constructing a Community Hall on the first floor of the Church building to carry on their allied spiritual activities and hence the formal consecration was deferred to a future date.
Later on a community hall was constructed on the the first floor of the church building and a separate of the Church building and a separate office room of the parish was also built up in the Church premises. By then, with the active co-operation of the Bombay Diocese we got one full time Priest allotted for our Parish to conduct Holy Qurbana on all Sundays and other allied spiritual activities of the parish. We have also purchased a parsonage near the Church for providing accommodation to our Priest.
The final and formal consecration of our church was conducted on 20th and 21st of February, 1999 at the blessed hands of H.G. Geevarghese Mar Coorilos, the present Metropolitan of Mumbai Diocese.
In 2002, thanks to the keen interest and initiative of the then Vicar Rev.Fr. M.E. Joseph , our Parish was fortunate enough to get the Holy Relics of our patron saint Parumala Thirumeni installed in our Church at the blessed hands of Late Lamented H.G. Dr. Stephanos Mar Thevodosios, the then Metroplitan of Calcutta Diocese on 09-11-2002.
Also in 2006,we could construct a kurishmthotti adjacent to our Church under the guidance of the then vicar Rev Fr. T.A Daniel and it was consecrated and dedicated to our Church by H.G Kuriakose Mar Clemis, the Metropolitan of Thumpamon Diocese on 17-11-2006.
We have great pleasure to state that by now our Parish had developed into a full fledged Church with 102 subscribing members and fortunate enough to have the services of eminent priest with great administrative acumen and total dedication which helped the continuous growth and progess of our Parish .Rev Fr.T.P.Mathew, Fr. Thomas Kurian, Fr. George Joseph, Fr. P.J.James,Fr.T.A.Daniel.Fr.Jiji Thomas, Fr. Mathew Mathew, Fr. Benjamin Stephen, Fr. Benjamin S.Philip. Fr. A.V.Paulose. Fr. M.E.Joseph,Fr. George Varghese and Fr. Kurian Baby rendered their services as former Vicars of this Parish since its inception. Rev.Fr.Koshy George is the present Vicar and under his leadership and guidance various spiritual Organizations like the prayer group, Martha Mariam Vanita Samaajam, M.G.O.C.S.M and Sunday school are functioning smoothly and effectively

Louisville City Council looks for ways to put…
Louisville City Council looks for ways to put meetings to bed early
By Doug Pike and Colorado Hometown Weekly |
After burning the near-midnight oil during several meetings through the first half of the year, Louisville City Council members are looking at ways to curtail meetings and get themselves, and the public, to bed at a reasonable hour.
Council members are in the process of a self-evaluation to assess what they can do different procedurally to shorten the length of meetings.
"The only thing I've noticed … is that back in the day when I was on council before, there seemed to be a flow to agenda items that seems to have changed over time," Councilman Jay Keany said.
Keanyy said in his previous tenure on council, members would wait until staff or applicant presentations and public comment were complete before asking questions. By asking questions throughout presentations, as is the current practice, he said the discussion often gets sidetracked and protracted.
"It seems like we interrupt the process, which I think causes things to go longer than it would otherwise," Keaney said.
Council members emphasize they don't want to curb public involvement, but might begin limiting comments from residents wishing to speak on an issue to three minutes each.
Mayor Pro Tem Hank Dalton requested that whenever possible staff presentations be limited to five minutes.
"Let's assume that every member of council has come (to meetings) prepared and having read the packet, the council communication and all the supporting documentation that goes behind it," Dalton said.
Mayor Bob Muckle said a five-minute presentation policy would require flexibility.
"Staff's heads might be exploding because I believe about a year ago we told them we needed better, more thorough, longer presentations. But there's a happy medium," Muckle said, adding the presentations aren't merely for the benefit of council members. "The public does have to be able to understand what the subject is. I don't think it's reasonable to expect them to read the entire packet."
Other ideas to shorten meetings include limiting agenda items, conducting executive sessions prior to the 7 p.m. meeting start time, rather than during the course of a meeting, continuing discussions to a later date when talks run late into the evening, and scheduling topics with looming deadlines earlier in meetings to make sure pressing city business gets handled in a timely fashion and at a reasonable hour.
"I really feel that good public process doesn't happen at extraordinarily late hours," Councilman Jeff Lipton said. "I think what we're trying to do often is put 10 pounds of potatoes in a 5-pound bag. There are a lot of things that have kept us going late that are discretionary; they weren't absolutely necessary."

The tale of the Brown Dog started back in June of 2001 with Pacific Street Pizza on the west end of town. From this location, we developed a reputation for great classic American style pizza and our signature YX cheesesteak sub—which gets its name from the license plates Colorado once issued to residents of San Miguel county that started with the letters "YX". Eventually, we outgrew the Pacific Street Pizza location, and moved to Colorado Avenue as well as changing our name to Brown Dog Pizza.
The distinctive name "Brown Dog" comes from the owners, Dan Lynch and Jeff "Smoke" Smokevitch, chocolate Labrador retrievers–Phlounder and Boone. Dan originally hails from New England, and is consequently a die-hard Boston sports team fan (as evidenced in the sports memorabilia that adorns the Brown Dog's walls). Jeff comes from Michigan where he attended the University of Michigan and played football on the 1997 National Championship-winning team. Their successful partnership of more than a decade has resulted in the Brown Dog Pizza you see today.
In 2010, owner, Jeff Smokevitch attended the International School of Pizza, and has since assisted legendary Pizzaioli and Master Instructor, Tony Geminani, in several more sessions at the school. Jeff, under Tony's tutelage, learned that combining the best quality ingredients along with attention to detail makes the best pizzas.
Geminani was so impressed by his pupil, he asked Jeff to be on the World Pizza Champions team in the Fall of 2010. Smokevitch has gone on to enter several other competitions, and Brown Dog's pizza was judged as the World's Best Pizza in the American pan division with a 1st Place finish at the International Pizza Expo 2013. As well as a 2nd place in the final round of the expo's challenge. Read further about the Pizza Championships here.
Our menu features the Classic American (round) available in our Rustic Medium Crust, Cracker Thin Crust, Detroit Square, Brooklyn Sicilian, Gluten Free Detroit Square and Gluten Free Roman Style as well as an array of specialty subs/wraps, burgers, chicken wings, salads, pastas dishes and various daily specials. In addition we have a Gluten Free menu with pizza, wraps, burgers and pasta. We offer a full bar with a variety of beers on tap–featuring many local Colorado brews and $2.50 PBRs.
Meet up with friends to watch all of the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and Soccer games on any one of the Brown Dog's 10 HDTVs for your sporting enjoyment. The Brown Dog is family friendly, and we have an extensive kids menu. Additionally we offer up tasty gluten-free options, but our kitchen is not gluten-free environment and those that are very sensitive to gluten should think twice when ordering.
Come see why Brown Dog Pizza's Detroit-style pizza is gaining fame and winning fans nationwide.


"António Guterres must use this visit to press the Russian authorities to end unlawful attacks in Syria - including the pattern of airstrikes that appear deliberately to target hospitals and medical facilities in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.
"He also must call on the Russian authorities to stop assisting Syrian government forces and their allies to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity.
"Russia should use its influence to ensure Syrian authorities end unlawful attacks on civilians, release arbitrarily detained people, end the use of torture and enforced disappearance and allow unfettered humanitarian access.
Amnesty has documented a pattern of apparently deliberate airstrikes by Syrian and Russian forces on hospitals and other civilian objects in Syria. In previous attacks on eastern Aleppo, Syrian government forces - supported by Russia - have shamelessly flouted international humanitarian law by launching unlawful attacks killing and injuring civilians, including by using internationally-banned weapons such as cluster munitions.
Next week Amnesty will release new research and testimony from the aftermath of recent attacks in Aleppo.

Nagasaki mayor marks 72nd anniversary of atomic bombing
Nagasaki's mayor marked the 72nd anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing in his city Wednesday by demanding Japan join a recently adopted U.N. treaty banning nuclear weapons.
The anniversary came one day after U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to respond to North Korea's continuing nuclear weapons threats with "fire and fury like the world has never seen." And North Korean military threatened a missile strike near the U.S. territory of Guam
"A strong sense of anxiety is spreading across the globe that in the not too distant future these weapons could actually be used again," Nagasaki Mayor Tomihisa Taue told the crowd at the city's Peace Park that included dignitaries, and survivors and relatives of victims of the bombing.
