Sénsuum deféctui. So great a Sacrament, therefore, let us worship, bowed down; And let the ancient example give way to a new rite; Let faith bestow a support to the defect of the senses.
Cómpar sit laudátio. To the Begetter and the One Begotten, praise and jubilation (be); Salvation, honor, power also let there be, and blessing; To the One proceeding from (them) both be equal praise (as well).

Ahead of Garcia de Rayos' deportation, dozens of immigration activists Wednesday night blocked the gates of ICE's Phoenix office. She has a nonviolent felony conviction. "Ms. Garcia de Rayos is now being detained by ICE based on a removal order issued by the Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review which became final in May 2013", the agency had told the Los Angeles Times newspaper in a statement earlier.
The president of Yemen voiced concerns about the raid according to the country's ambassador to the United States, Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak, reported The New York Times . "It is tough to ever use the word success when you know that someone has lost their life", Spicer said on February 2. Spicer's comments clash with an NBC report that the raid meant to take out al Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula's leader Qassim Al-Rimi, who survived the raid and later mocked Trump on an audio recording.
On Wednesday, announcing the numbers in a post , Sheryl Sandberg , COO, Facebook said "In many areas, networks can be slow and unable to support all the functions available on Facebook". The application reached 100 million users in March 2016 and it seems that it doubled its size in less than a year. Now, Facebook is making the Lite app more usable for business users.
According to a report from the New York Post , the court documents allege the Daily Mail caused such financial harm that Mrs. Trump could no longer use her position in government to enrich herself, her brand and products. The Daily Mail posted a statement in September saying its article stated "there was no support" for the allegations in the book and magazine, and that the objective of the article was not to suggest they were true.
The Canadian government will invest $372.5 million in Learjet-parent Bombardier, the company and government announced in a joint news release. Federal International Trade Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said Tuesday that Ottawa is prepared to defend its financial support to Bombardier.
Shinzo Abe heads to the USA this week - and to a game of golf with Donald Trump - teeing off a drive to keep Japan's most important relationship out of the rough.

The FAO said an emergency meeting would be held in Harare from February 14 to 16 to shape coordinated emergency responses to the armyworm threat and other potential hazards such as the spread of avian flu which has been detected in other African regions.
During the 2012 campaign, when opinion polls showed that support for Mr Sarkozy was failing, he turned his campaign rallies into US-style extravaganzas with special effects and multiple giant screens. "The clear disagreement between the two magistrates in charge of the matter is such a rare event that it is worth underlining, as it illustrates the inanity of the decision", said Sarkozy's lawyer, Thierry Herzog, according to BBC .
Despite his brother Shivpal Yadav having announced that he would float a new party after the elections, Mr. Singh insisted that "No one is unhappy. The alliance will win and Akhilesh will be the next Chief Minister", Mulayam said. Now, they are not telling us how much black money.

That's why I welcome President Trump's insistence on new sanctions against Iran. "It seeks to conquer the Middle East", he said to his host in front of the TV cameras. "But also talking about some issues around the region, Syria and Iran and the whole question of the future of the Middle East", she added. The Israeli prime minister later went onto meet the foreign secretary Boris Johnson who has described the Iran nuclear deal as one of the achievements of the Obama administration.
The measure is created to protect homes in Jewish settlements, built on private Palestinian property "in good faith or at the state's instruction", from possible court-ordered evacuation and demolition.

Geneva: Myanmar's military crackdown on Rohingya Muslims has likely killed hundreds of people, with children slaughtered and women raped in a campaign that may amount to ethnic cleansing , the United Nations said Friday. The military crackdown in Rakhine, home to more than one million Rohingya, was triggered by October 9 attacks on border guard posts, which Myanmar and the International Crisis Group say were carried out by foreign-backed militants.
That's known as the individual mandate. He was diagnosed with cancer and lost his health insurance. The surge in enrollment came despite vows by President Trump and Congressional Republicans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which created the program.
In a subsequent on-camera interview, Kelly told the network that the administration's "hope" was that the wall would be completed in two years. "Any discussion about the protection of our southwest border involves discussion of physical barriers but also of technological sensors, things like that", Kelly said.
Low U.S. unemployment despite losses in the manufacturing sector will make it tough for President Donald Trump to produce a whopping 25 million jobs over the next decade as promised - at least the way his core supporters envision. States where hospital employment has leapt off the gurney and skipped down the hallway by more than +4.0% y/y have been: South Dakota, +5.8%; SC and OR, +4.9%; Montana and Washington, +4.7%; Hawaii, +4.5%; Nevada, +4.3%; and IN, +4.2%.
As many as 47 Labour MPs - including at least two whips - voted against its three-line whip to vote for the bill. Downing Street said it would "reflect the Government's plan for Brexit as the PM set out in her speech on our negotiating objectives".

The Eddington-inspired-Born–Infeld (EiBI) theory has recently been resurrected. Such a theory is characterized by being equivalent to Einstein theory in vacuum but differing from it in the presence of matter. One of the virtues of the theory is that it avoids the Big Bang singularity for a radiation-filled universe. In this paper, we analyze singularity avoidance in this kind of model. More precisely, we analyze the behavior of a homogeneous and isotropic universe filled with phantom energy in addition to the dark and baryonic matter. Unlike the Big Bang singularity that can be avoided in this kind of model through a bounce or a loitering effect on the physical metric, we find that the Big Rip singularity is unavoidable in the EiBI phantom model even though it can be postponed towards a slightly further future cosmic time as compared with the same singularity in other models based on the standard general relativity and with the same matter content as described above.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are interested in signing Dani Olmo from Dinamo Zagreb. The youngster has been turning heads for a while now over in Croatia, and at the age of 20, he still has plenty of room to grow. The Spanish giants would need to pay around £21.8 million in order to land their man, although you'd imagine that they would stump that offer up in order to ensure that they get their man.
Olmo's youth career began at La Masia so this would serve as something of a homecoming for him, although he seems to have really built a life for himself with Zagreb.
Barca have been linked with every player under the sun in the lead up to the January transfer window but it certainly seems like a move for Olmo would be more realistic than most, given the connection the two parties share.
Barcelona currently sit at the top of La Liga with 24 points from their first 12 games of the campaign.

Analysis of Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
In: English and Literature
Submitted By Kondwani441
Words 1294
Important Quotations Explained
Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.
Explanation for Quotation 1 >>
Achebe uses this opening stanza of William Butler Yeats's poem "The Second Coming," from which the title of the novel is taken, as an epigraph to the novel. In invoking these lines, Achebe hints at the chaos that arises when a system collapses. That "the center cannot hold" is an ironic reference to both the imminent collapse of the African tribal system, threatened by the rise of imperialist bureaucracies, and the imminent disintegration of the British Empire. Achebe, writing in 1959, had the benefit of retrospection in depicting Nigerian society and British colonialism in the 1890s.
Yet Achebe's allusion is not simply political, nor is it ironic on only one level. Yeats's poem is about the Second Coming, a return and revelation of sorts. In Things Fall Apart, this revelation refers to the advent of the Christian missionaries (and the alleged revelation of their teachings), further satirizing their supposed benevolence in converting the Igbo. For an agricultural society accustomed to a series of cycles, including that of the locusts, the notion of return would be quite credible and familiar.
The hyperbolic and even contradictory nature of the passage's language suggests the inability of humankind to thwart this collapse. "Mere anarchy" is an oxymoron in a sense, since the definition of anarchy implies an undeniably potent level of radicalism. The abstraction in the language makes the poem's ideas universal: by referring to "[t]hings" falling apart as opposed to specifying what those collapsing or disintegrating things are, Yeats (and Achebe) leaves his words open to a greater range of...
Postcolonial Concern in Achebe's Novels
...intellectual discourse which shows analysis of the cultural legacies of colonialism and imperialism. In simplest and most familiar way, the hyphenated term post colonial means post or after the colonial period and it indicates something that happened after the end of formal colonization. Post-colonial has become useful because it raises large and important questions. Therefore, the widest definition of post colonial fiction easily includes Chinua Achebe's novels. Postcolonial study delineates all aspects of the colonial process from the beginning to the end of colonial contact. Chinua Achebe's novels contain the experiences of Nigerian people after the end of British Empire. Achebe's novels are the replication of African history as well. Therefore, his novels describe an archetypal post colonial era African country. Chinua Achebe is one of the finest Nigerian novelists of the twentieth century, whose novels show various post colonial aspects in them. Achebe throws light on the changes in African society and politics, His four novels cover the entire colonial history of Africa from the early days of European advent to the post colonial aspects like retrieval of an identity and own past, language liberty, cultural change, disestablishment of Eurocentric norms and complexes of this period of perplexity. Achebe wrote novels chronologically one is attached to another as, pre-colonial, colonial, post colonial and commonwealth. Chinua Achebe has depicted traditional Igbo......
...will glorify only the hunter." Chinua Achebe, Home and Exile Literature is the expression of life in words of truth and beauty.It encompasses all genres of literature-poetry,prose,fiction,drama,philosophy,history etc.Among them,fiction is any narrative,whether in prose or verse,which is invented instead of being an account of events that actually happened. The voice of Africa in the world of letters tries to emancipate Africa from its literary stereotype.Africa is no longer a gloomy phenomenon,a dark continent.Chinua Achebe, the major exponent of the modern African novel,is greatly concerned with the two realities of social man –his individual and group identity,the legacy of colonialism, and the shift in the system of values of life leading to rampant corruption- moral and monetary. He is also concerned with the use of English as the medium of expression of African experience defining the relevance of colonial and post-colonial experience to the present .Achebe's novels are dialectic tranformation of experience, a new way of looking at tradition to create a different order of reality through universalizing imagination.Though he has followed the established tradition of novel writing in English, Achebe has put few things 'African' and has successfully employed certain narrative techniques of narration to give authenticity and African flavour to his novels in order to attract the native audience and overseas readers as well. Chinua Achebe , the doyen of African......

Of Interpreters, Schools and Courts: an Analysis of the Postcolonial Themes of Language, Education, and Power in Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart
...(Postcolonial Literature II) Ateneo De Manila University 10 February 2014 Of Interpreters, Schools, and Courts: An Analysis of the Postcolonial Themes of Language, Education, and Power in Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart Through his awareness of the European literary tradition of negatively stereotyping the African natives as uncivilized peoples and putting the West in the pedestal in terms of cultural superiority and advancement (Guthrie 51-52), it can be asserted that the renowned African novelist and intellectual Chinua Achebe may had realized, at one point in his life, that in order to have a more realistic portrayal of the dynamics of Western and non-Western contact, there is a need to break such convention which undeniably favours the West. Perhaps, this is the reason why Achebe had written Things Fall Apart in such a way that it provides readers the African point of view of culture, identity and colonization thereby eradicating the dominant and unwarranted perception that the peoples of Africa are mere savages that have no customs, beliefs and traditions. Indeed, by providing a somewhat balanced approach in portraying the dynamic societal changes experienced by the Ibo people due to the conflict between their traditional culture and the foreign culture brought by their English colonizers primarily through religious and educational instruction, Things Fall Apart indubitably qualifies as a relevant and interesting novel that can be analysed through the lens of......

Hod a Compare and Contrast Essay
...Tyler Franklin Sylvia Bennett English 12 AP pd.3 December 23, 2015 Analysis of Kurtz and Okonkwo as Tragic Heros Aristotle's Poetics defines a "tragic hero" as a good man of high status who displays a tragic flaw (―hamartia‖) and experiences a dramatic reversal ―peripeteia‖, as well as an intense moment of recognition ―anagnorisis‖ and Okonkwo and Kurtz, both of them are regarded as as a tragic hero. In"hubris"colonial setting but each with a different, unique style. In fact,-the same postm to the these two characters not only define the said term, they take the the path of doom and centered, desirous actions-elf next level through their actions, and each one takes is different. Okonkwo is "a man of action, a man of war" and a member of high status in the Igbo village. He holds the prominent position of village clansman due to the fact that he had "shown incredible prowess in two intertribal wars". Okonkwo's hard work had made him a "wealthy farmer" and a recognized individual amongst the nine villages of Umuofia and beyond. Okonkwo's tragic flaw isn't that he was afraid of work, but rather his fear of weakness and failure which stems from his father's, Unoka, unproductive life and disgraceful death. "Perhaps down in his heart Okonkwo was not a cruel man. But his whole life was dominated by fear, the fear of failure and weakness….It was not external but lay deep within himself. It was the fear of himself, lest he should be found to resemble his father." Okonkwo's......

Things Fall Apart Essay
...Things Fall Apart Literary Analysis The world is changing as do the people who live in it all the time, sometimes people just don't fit with the changing world. In Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, tells the story of a great man named Okonkwo. When European missionaries arrive, Okonkwo's culture that he once knew is changing dramatically. The book addresses the clash of cultures and destruction of Okonkwo's world with their arrival. Achebe shows us that Okonkwo's inability to adapt and his own characterization causes him to end his life. Okonkwo's suicide was caused by a mix of the European missionaries and Okonkwo's own characterization. Okonkwo never learns from his mistakes, he always thinks what he does is always right no matter what. All he knows came from his childhood and younger years. Unoka is disrespected among the society. The culture values physical strength, achievement, and masculinity. Unoka represents the opposite of these values, he enjoys expressing himself through words and music, he's a very talented musician. Okonkwo learns that these qualities are not what the tribe values. Okonkwo grows up being the opposite of his father, he becomes the best wrestler, he's physically strong, and represents hyper masculinity. Okonkwo also becomes a very successful farmer, but after a bad harvest due to bad, inconsistent weather Unoka tells his son "'do not despair. I know you will not despair. You have a manly and a proud heart. A proud heart can survive general...
...Tragedy depicts the downfall of a noble hero or heroine, usually through some combination of hubris, fate, and the will of the gods. The tragic hero's powerful wish to achieve some goal inevitably encounters limits, usually those of human frailty. The hero need not die at the end, but he/she must undergo a change in fortune. In addition, the tragic hero may achieve some revelation or recognition. According to Gerald F.Else (1967) tragic hero means "The tragic hero is a great man who is neither a paragon of virtue and justice nor undergoes the change to misfortune through any real badness or wickedness but because of some mistake." Throughout the book, Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe presents many aspects of how the tragic hero, Okonkwo portrays the author's own characterization of a tragic hero. Okonkwo's tragic flaw is his fear of weakness, failure, the equation of manliness with rashness, anger, violence, and arrogance. In his thirties, Okonkwo is a leader of the Igbo community of Umuofia. Throughout his life, he wages a never ending battle for status and his life is dominated by the fear of weakness and failure. He is quick to anger, especially when dealing with men who are weak, lazy debtors like his father. His father incurred a bad reputation for himself and Okonkwo vowed to never be like his father. This caused Okonkwo to be very determined and he formed very strong feelings to reach success in his life and do the same for his children. The narrator states......

...About Things Fall Apart Chinua Achebe's college work sharpened his interest in indigenous Nigerian cultures. He had grown up in Ogidi, a large village in Nigeria. His father taught at the missionary school, and Achebe witnessed firsthand the complex mix of benefit and catastrophe that the Christian religion had brought to the Igbo people. In the 1950s, an exciting new literary movement grew in strength. Drawing on indigenous Nigerian oral traditions, this movement enriched European literary forms in hopes of creating a new literature, in English but unmistakably African. Published in 1958, Things Fall Apart is one of the masterpieces of 20th century African fiction. Things Fall Apart is set in the 1890s, during the coming of the white man to Nigeria. In part, the novel is a response and antidote to a large tradition of European literature in which Africans are depicted as primitive and mindless savages. The attitudes present in colonial literature are so ingrained into our perception of Africa that the District Commissioner, who appears at the end of the novel, strikes a chord of familiarity with most readers. He is arrogant, dismissive of African "savages," and totally ignorant of the complexity and richness of Igbo life. Yet his attitude echoes so much of the depiction of Africa; this attitude, following Achebe's depiction of the Igbo, seems hollow and savage. Digression is one of Achebe's most important tools. Although the novel's central story is the tragedy of Okonkwo...

What Is Literature
...higher priorities than are considerations of profit or commercial appeal. * Literature is literally "an acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary (from the Latin littera meaning "an individual written character (letter)"). The term has generally come to identify a collection of texts. The word literature as a common noun can refer to any form of writing, such as essays or poetry; Literature as a proper noun refers to a whole body of literary work, world-wide or relating to a specific culture... * lit·er·a·ture n. 1. The body of written works of a language, period, or culture. 2. Imaginative or creative writing, especially of recognized artistic value:"Literature must be an analysis of experience and a synthesis of the findings into a unity" 3. The art or occupation of a literary writer. 4. The body of written work produced by scholars or researchers in a given field: medical literature. 5. Printed material: All the available collected literature on the subject. 6. Music: All the compositions of a certain kind or for a specific instrument or ensemble: the symphonic literature. Good literature has something important to say about life. If we take the time to read and understand the literature, it should help us to learn more about life. It may be that we do not agree with what the writer says. Nevertheless, the act of studying it will have made us think more carefully about the......

...Literary Theory and Schools of Criticism Introduction A very basic way of thinking about literary theory is that these ideas act as different lenses critics use to view and talk about art, literature, and even culture. These different lenses allow critics to consider works of art based on certain assumptions within that school of theory. The different lenses also allow critics to focus on particular aspects of a work they consider important. For example, if a critic is working with certain Marxist theories, s/he might focus on how the characters in a story interact based on their economic situation. If a critic is working with post-colonial theories, s/he might consider the same story but look at how characters from colonial powers (Britain, France, and even America) treat characters from, say, Africa or the Caribbean. Hopefully, after reading through and working with the resources in this area of the OWL, literary theory will become a little easier to understand and use. Disclaimer Please note that the schools of literary criticism and their explanations included here are by no means the only ways of distinguishing these separate areas of theory. Indeed, many critics use tools from two or more schools in their work. Some would define differently or greatly expand the (very) general statements given here. Our explanations are meant only as starting places for your own investigation into literary theory. We encourage you to use the list of scholars and works provided for......

Developing personalized experience-based knowledge: Learning is re-defined, not as the accumulation of information, but as a lifelong process of developing personally meaningful knowledge. Students learn that the product of their experience – Personalized Knowledge – has a unique potential to empower them because it reflects their own authentic experience and represents their unique needs. The program teaches students to function beyond the capacity provided by our haphazard and intuitive memory processes. Students learn to intentionally and mindfully construct effective knowledge products that they externally store in personalized knowledge management system and retrieve to help them prepare for new goals and challenging situations. Personalized knowledge is applicable, extendable, upgradable and can be efficiently retrieved when needed. We define learning, not as the mere accumulation of information, but as a lifelong process of actively constructing personally meaningful knowledge.
Knowledge, skill, habits and Mindsets: While personalized knowledge is considered central, it will have no value unless requisite skills, habits and mind-sets are in place. Skill proficiency represents our capacity to apply and implement knowledge often in an unconscious, automatic manner, by turning it into effective action, in real-world situations. While knowledge is not useful without requisite proficiency, students learn that the reverse is also true. In order to become proficient in the most effective and efficient manner they require knowledge to guide the process.


Sucralose vs. aspartame: What is the difference?
Both are used in many foods and drinks to give you great-tasting options with fewer or no calories. This means they can help you manage your calorie intake. The key to managing your weight, however, is a balanced lifestyle. This includes eating a variety of food and beverages in moderation.
If you have questions about your diet, please speak to your doctor.
*While sugar also has 16 calories per teaspoon, you don't need as much aspartame to get the same sweet taste you love.
Is there a difference between aspartame and sucralose safety?
If you have the rare hereditary disorder phenylketonuria (PKU), you should strictly limit your intake of phenylalanine. This is a common amino acid found in aspartame. If we use aspartame, we say on our bottles and cans that there is phenylalanine so please check closely.
How are sucralose and aspartame made?
Sucralose is made from sugar, but the final ingredient is different. It has a sweet taste but without the calories.
Aspartame is made from two amino acids: aspartic acid and phenylalanine. These are found naturally in many foods. They are building blocks of protein.

Alexander Beadle
Alexander is a regular contributor to Analytical Cannabis, where he covers developments in cannabis science and policy. He holds a masters in materials chemistry from the University of St. Andrews.
Having spearheaded cannabis research in the state since 2011, a cannabis research collaborative at Washington State University has now been formally recognized as a research center by WSU officials.
The establishment of the Center for Cannabis Policy, Research and Outreach (CCPRO) was officially approved by the WSU Faculty Senate and Board of Regents last month. The new, multidisciplinary research center will cover the work of around 100 scientists working on a diverse range of cannabis-related research projects.
The formal designation of research center status recognizes the importance of these researchers' efforts, CCPRO leadership says, and also demonstrates WSU's commitment as a public land-grant research university to fostering a wider scientific understanding of the cannabis industry.
Inside the Center for Cannabis Policy, Research and Outreach
Over the past six years, researchers at WSU have engaged with 50 cannabis-related projects and attracted nearly $10 million in funding.
Notable recent work from WSU researchers includes the finding that cannabis can blunt the psychological response to stress, reduce symptoms of OCD by up to 50 percent, and relieve headache and migraine pain. Outside of health-related research, scientists at WSU have also played a key role in evaluating the effects of cannabis policy on teenage drug use and on crime clearance rates.
"We have four primary research foci. The first is health and wellbeing, and that spans from basic science and animal models of cannabis use all the way up to public health research focused on the community impacts of cannabis," Dr Michael McDonall, CCPRO director and professor at the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine, told Analytical Cannabis.
"We also have a couple of different lines of research in our criminal justice department, and that's focused on two different areas. One is roadside detection – giving law enforcement the tools they need to know whether or not a person is impaired because of their cannabis use. And then also looking at public policy-related issues, such as the impact of decriminalization in the United States on cannabis-related arrests."
Several researchers within the newly formed CCPRO are also experts on issues relating to cannabis banking and taxation. This is a particularly important field of study in today's regulatory climate, where state and federal attitudes towards cannabis can be vastly different depending on where you are in the United States. Agricultural research is the final main focus of the center and encapsulates work being done with industrial hemp and CBD derived from hemp.
"[Establishing] a center, I think it recognizes the quality of the work and the diversity of the work that we're doing," McDonell commented.
"It also provides a more structured organization to [make it] easier for us to partner with a number of different stakeholder groups. It provides a nice way for us to collaborate with other universities and colleges, to be able to say that we are a center and here is the central organization. It's going to help us push forward with this work."
The future for the CCPRO
Conducting research into cannabis is still a very tricky endeavor. The announcement that the DEA is on the brink of expanding the sources of cannabis for research projects is one of the first major cannabis-related actions to come out of the Biden administration. But it is impossible to know what the future holds in terms of progressive cannabis regulation and improving the barriers that remain to wider institutional cannabis research.
"We are trying to be creative [within the bounds of] what's compliant with federal law, but that still allows us to do the work to give citizens of our state, and the country, some answers about the benefits and risks of cannabis use in terms of health," McDonell explained.
"We have a project working with an American Indian tribe, and they have a different relationship with the federal government than states do. We're doing some work there to study the impact of cannabis on pain in a clinic that they have where they recommend cannabis, and primarily CBD, to patients."
WSU's CCPRO also recently joined a collaboration with Oregon State University and the University of California Davis aimed at improving hemp germplasm on the west coast. This involves the study of seeds and genetic material needed to grow better hemp crops for industrial purposes and as a source of CBD.
"A colleague of ours, Ryan McLaughlin, is also doing a lot of really interesting work with trying to figure out methods to have animals vaporize [cannabis]," McDonell added.
"What they do now in rat models of cannabis or THC, just because of technical reasons, is having to inject the THC into the rodent. And that doesn't make any sense for an analog of what human use looks like — people don't inject THC. What Ryan has done is figure out a way to create a vapor chamber so that rats can actually voluntarily inhale cannabis. That gives a much better analog model to sort of what humans do, and so we're excited about that work."
With the establishment of the CCPRO, researchers at WSU are confident that the institution's cutting-edge research will continue to be able to adapt to future opportunities and changes in key policy areas as the cannabis industry develops.

THE deputy chairman of Tony Abbott's indigenous advisory council, doctor Ngiare Brown, has denounced budget cuts to indigenous affairs and says the $7 GP co-payment will hurt indigenous people and other vulnerable Australians who desperately need help to close the health gap.
Professor Brown will use next week's meeting of the council to warn that the cuts to indigenous health will inevitably affect frontline services.
She told The Australian she would use her role on the council to push for reconsideration of the co-payment scheme and exemptions for vulnerable Australians and indigenous people based on income and burden of disease.
On overall cuts to the indigenous budget, she said she was determined to get detailed answers on where the cuts would come from and what they would affect.
"There have been anticipated cuts across the board for each portfolio and department," Professor Brown said. "But what is most concerning is that there is talk about cuts to essential portfolios like health and education but currently there is no clarity on what this means.
"The Coalition claim they want to cut red tape, duplication and the bureaucracy, for example, but I'm concerned there are actually going to be cuts to frontline services, which we were promised would absolutely not be the case".
On the cuts to preventative programs such as indigenous smoking campaigns, Professor Brown, one of the first group of Aboriginal medical graduates in Australia, said she considered this a frontline service.
"Public health and … prevention are absolutely frontline services, particularly in comprehensive primary care contexts like Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health," she said. "So whether they are specific smoking programs or whether they are brief interventions delivered by our health workers, nurses and general practitioners, public health prevention programs are absolutely frontline services.
Indigenous Affairs Minister Nigel Scullion has vowed that the $239 million being cut from the general indigenous affairs budget will be achieved through "efficiencies" and less red tape and duplication — and not reductions to frontline services.
But with an additional $165m being cut from indigenous health, peak indigenous lobby groups fear that efforts to close the gap are being compromised.
Warren Mundine, chairman of the Prime Minister's indigenous council, has said the Coalition originally intended to cut the portfolio's budget by 10 per cent. The eventual 4.5 per cent cut announced in last week's budget would come from 'inefficiencies", not frontline services, he said.
Professor Brown, who was previously the Australian Medical Association's indigenous health adviser, said she was also concerned that the impact of the GP co-payment on indigenous people and closing the gap had not been taken into consideration.
"I don't think there has been consideration of any kind for the financial, economic or social impacts or the intended and unintended consequences of co-payments," she said. "Obviously the most vulnerable are going to be the ones that are hit the hardest: the young, the old and those with chronic diseases in particular. People needing multiple visits over long periods to manage their chronic disease or palliative care or children with special needs or disabilities for example — how are they going to afford multiple consultations at $7 a pop?
"One of my greatest concerns is not only that the most vulnerable will bear the brunt of a poorly conceived co-payment initiative, but that the health care system will not cope.
"The policy makers need to think very carefully about whether to go ahead with the co-payment and if they do, who will pay and who will have exemptions.

All the staff, volunteers, patients that were well enough with their families, invited guests, neighbours and religious from the local parishes paid a visit to the relics.
During the service roses were blessed and distributed to those who attended. Refreshments were served during the visit in the restaurant creating a lovely warm atmosphere.
The Relics came to Ireland to honour The World Meeting of Families 2018 and as Saint Louis and Zelie are the first parents to be canonised the relics were present at the Mass celebrated by Pope Francis on Sunday 26th August. Pope Francis is a long time devotee of St Therese. The relics visited many parishes and Carmelite Monasteries in Ireland before returning to Lisieux in France.

'Arsenal didn't look like Wenger was in charge!' – Merson finds 'biggest compliment' for Arteta
Chris Burton
7:56 PM GMT+4 30/12/2019
The Gunners have opened another new era at the Emirates, with the challenge being to move further away from the failings of recent coaching regimes
Arsenal are moving slowly in the right direction, says Paul Merson, with the fact that it "didn't look like Arsene Wenger was in charge" for the first half of their derby defeat to Chelsea considered to be the "biggest compliment" that can be paid to Mikel Arteta.
A Spanish tactician finds himself back at Emirates Stadium three years after bringing his playing career to a close on the Gunners' books.
A sizeable challenge has been taken on by a managerial rookie, with Arteta filling one of the most demanding Premier League posts at just 37 years of age.
His opening two games have delivered just one point, with Arsenal collecting one win from their last 15 games in all competitions, with faults of the recent past still needing to be put right.
Merson saw signs of encouragement in a 2-1 reversal against Chelsea, with the Gunners bursting out of the blocks in a manner which has not been seen by north London natives for some time.
The former Arsenal forward told Sky Sports of a new regime: "For the first half against Chelsea, it didn't look like Arsene Wenger was in charge. And that's the biggest compliment I can give.
"They worked their socks off, but were never going to keep that up for 90 minutes, because they haven't done that in 10 years. That high pressure, closing down, Chelsea couldn't get out or put two or three passes together.
"You looked at Arsenal in that first half and thought: 'Well this is Arteta's team'. He'd got them closing down. But obviously, they were going to fade. Chelsea took advantage of that, and fair play to them.
"As time goes on, however, and Arteta looks to place his stamp on the team, there are some bright sparks to take. The fitter they get, and the more they understand that closing-down game, I think they'll be alright, and I was quite impressed.
"Arteta has been around one of the best, and he has that way of talking. He's not going to come in and start effing and blinding."
Arteta cut his coaching teeth alongside Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
He has now stepped out on his own and will see his credentials tested to the fullest once again on New Year's Day when Arsenal take in a home date with old adversaries Manchester United.

Farrer & Co
66 Lincoln's Inn Fields
London WC2A 3LH
While for 35 years, his practice has covered a full range of civil and commercial disputes, Adrian Parkhouse has had the benefit of spending the whole of his career with Farrer & Co in London.
The firm has had a history of representing individuals who own heritage property and from the outset, an element of Adrian's work concerned assisting those clients to resolve disputes arising from the theft of art, auction sales, insurance claims and tax assessments. The firm's clientele has developed with time with the clients, their issues and the solutions becoming markedly more international and the issues cross-border. Recent examples are cases concerned with obtaining an injunction against an auction sale for a Swiss vendor who was worried that poor cataloguing might lead to a sale placing him in breach of banking covenants; and obtaining a world-wide freezing order for a New Zealand collector against a UK and US dealer who had used consignments as collateral to fund its business.
At the same time Adrian had had the opportunity to advise both dealers and a range of museum clients. The variety of advice required has been unique – from the issues raised during the repatriation of aboriginal remains, through an airport arrest for infringing import controls and a trial concerned with the discovery of an Old Master, to the resolution of looted art claims.
Adrian's approach is pragmatic – he is an accredited mediator – and he is described in The Legal 500 as "combin[ing] meticulous professionalism with a realistic and pragmatic approach to complicated art and heritage issues." He benefits from the support of an equally experienced team of colleagues.

As we mentioned last week, Samsung has a few surprises in store at this week's Flat Panel Display International show in Japan and has been drip-feeding them to the press ahead of the show's opening on Wednesday.
Head to the Flat Panel Display International show in Yokohama, Japan, next week and you'll get an eyeful of three new LCDs from Samsung that will probably start showing up in laptops sometime next year.
We've seen plenty of next-generation flat televisions at this week's CEATEC show in Japan, but a technology we haven't heard of in a while is the field emission display, or FED.
Apple's Multi-touch technology, as seen in the iPhone and iPod touch, are pretty good, but don't you think they're just a little bit, well, yesterday? If you don't already, you will when you see what Sharp has in store.
The Japanese cellphone market is pretty much a closed-membership club, in which most phones are sold by the networks and can never be unlocked - in other words, if the phone you want isn't available from the carrier you choose, then you're out of luck. Forget even thinking about importing something cool from abroad too.
So, the fabled 80GB PS3 has just launched in Korea and gamers worldwide are united in grumbling about how it ain't fair they only got 60GB, well so what?

Not sure if it's the game or my phone that has the "problem," but tapping the box from Sponsor Eagle gets pretty laggy at times.
Laggy in such a way that I have to tap it slowly, because fast tapping won't be detected.
I have a Proplem when i am in my room i can´t move anything and desk bugging can someone help me?
if I try to move an item and it highlighted green. Find the item highlighted red and remove it. That's how I did it.
Someone took my name on the app and I was wondering if there was any way I can get it?
For some reason my views and subs went to negative several million??? I don't know what happened to make it do this, I have paid (real money) to get the in game bux as well. All the upgrades in my knowledge tree have also vanished. Please help me.

Sup Pewds,just got on today and tried to move my avatar/character.

If my phone is lying on a table, I cannot tap on Sponsor Eagle or tap on the boxes from delivery or Sponsor Eagle. I have to tap the space in front of Sponsor Eagle, and to tap open the boxes slowly instead of in rapid-fire taps, which I can do when my phone is upright.
This happened about 30mins after posting my latest error.
Then i pressed "X" and im now using the table im checking earlier.
Is it a visual error that im the only one who can see the table design?
EDIT:I just tried it on my other rooms and its working fine.

Sponsor eagle achievement whenever I get sponsor eagle achievement, etc. It's getting very annoying. So I this is problem with the game, please fix it as soon as possible .3.
You can sign off your google acc if you don't want to earn the Achievement ..

Daniel Shaw's Subway Eating Habits
By Scott Chaser
It should come as no surprise that storm chasers do not eat well while chasing storms. Storm chasers will often chase for up to 18 hours at a time non-stop. During the chase, chasers don't have time to eat good food. Usually lunch and dinner is whatever we can find at a gas station. Often we skip lunch and dinner because we simply don't have enough time to eat.
One storm chaser though is on a mission to eat healthy. Daniel Shaw eats at Subway every opportunity he gets. Daniel eats at Subway so often, that in 2018 he decided to come up with the goal of getting a different sauce on his sandwich in every state he visited. That's 48 states, so 48 different sauces. Since Subway only offers 12 sauces, Daniel had to get creative. He started by assigning each state a dedicated sauce or sauce combination. Whenever he ate Subway in a particular state, he would always get the sauce that he assigned to that particular state. Combinations like Chipotle Southwest and Ranch worked well. Other combinations not so much. Daniel swears that nobody anywhere in the world should ever combine Buffalo with Sweet Onion. That sandwich ended up in the garbage.
Unfortunately for Daniel, his bad choice is sauce combinations isn't his only problem. His humor (or lack thereof) often causes problems while he's trying to order his food. I happened to be with Daniel on May 17th, 2019 when he was ordering Subway from the Love's in Sidney, Nebraska. The Sandwich Artist asked Daniel if he wanted bacon on his wrap. Daniel replied, "I'd better pass. I could shoot North Korea with a missile from my stomach." I didn't quite grasp what Daniel had just said, and the Sandwich Artist didn't even respond. The Sandwich Artist just continued looking down at the wrap he was making for Daniel. Daniel thought it was funny though, so he repeated it. "I'm going to pass on the bacon. I could shoot North Korea with a missile from my stomach." Once again, the poor Sandwich Artist just ignored Daniel. But Daniel wasn't phased. He really though his "joke" was funny and he wanted to make sure the Sandwich Artist heard it. So Daniel asked the Sandwich Artist if he had heard Daniel say his joke. The Sandwich Artist replied politely, "Yeah I heard it. I was just busy making your sandwich. That's why I didn't laugh." Daniel then looked at me for a laugh. Nope. I wasn't laughing either.
Daniel wasn't done though. He was now on a mission to ensure someone laughed at his really-not-funny joke. He starts explaining the joke to everyone. "You know, because my stomach has gotten so big," he said while rubbing his belly. "It's so big that I could shoot a missile out of it and hit North Korea." He then paused and looked at me. Then he looked at the Sandwich Artist. Then back at me. He was still waiting for someone to laugh, while this whole time displaying a smirk on his face. You could just tell he was waiting to bust out laughing with anybody who would respond to his joke. But the joke was so not-funny, that Daniel was the only one with a smirk on their face.
At this point the whole situation was becoming uncomfortably ridiculous. The Sandwich Artist was staring at me with a look on his face that begged me to step in and stop this madness. The joke itself wasn't funny at all. But the fact that Daniel Shaw though it was funny, and continued to tell it, and explain it, and look for a laugh was quite humorous. The situation was so humorous in fact, that both myself and the Sandwich Artist started giggling at Daniel's commitment to get a laugh out of his joke. When poor Daniel saw us giggling, he thought we had finally gotten the joke. Daniel exclaimed, "See! I told you it was a funny joke!" This enthusiastic happiness that Daniel showed transformed both my and the Sandwich Artist's giggling into full on laughter. Satisfied that we were now laughing, Daniel paid for his sandwich and walked off.
Daniel Shaw may do well by making an honest effort to eat healthy. But I pity the man who has to listen to another one of his jokes.


If I roslaunch a .launch file that starts a .world file via gazebo_ros, Gazebo does not crash.
However, my .launch file also contains a .urdf with plugins (that may use ROS and Gazebo messaging) and some other ROS nodes (containing SMACH finite state machines for example). In this case, Gazebo does crash intermittently, once every 2 - 10 launches.
The crashing appears to become more frequent (a crash every 2-4 launches) as the number of ROS node's in the launch file goes up.
My solution is to Ctrl-C the Terminal window and then simply roslaunch the .launch file again. Sometimes I have to repeat this process a couple times. Repeated Gazebo crashes also appear to become more frequent as the number of nodes I'm launching goes up.
and then immediately click on my terminal window and drag-it across my monitor.
Gazebo will almost never crash. I have no idea why this works. I just know it does (for me).
How to run Gazebo without crashing?
Is there something obvious I'm missing. What's the best way for me to go about diagnosing/fixing this problem?
Update: The easiest fix appears to be to use a NVIDIA Graphics Card. Teammate has been running exact same launch files on his machine w/o any problems.

In the 21st Century, it seems that everything is changing. With the advancements of technology and the rapid growths and declines of businesses, you may feel unsure of yourself and your potential.

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful - Like a reference book!
As you go through the chapters you will find tidbits of information that are easy to understand. Better yet, you can start applying this information in your own life. It was a honor to be part of this group and the end result was far more impressive and helpful than I imagined. What I like most about "Ready,Aim, Soar! is the chapters are written in the 'real' voice of the expert. You can almost hear them speaking from the stage and sharing their encouragements and tips with you. This is the type of book that you can pick up and just read one chapter and come away with something great or you can read it from cover to cover to get the most out of it. The resources at the end of the book are very valuable and I hope readers take the authors up on what they offer.
Ready, Aim, Soar! is a fantastic work that showcases amazing and brilliant authors, coaches, and entrepreneurs who tell their inspirational stories of triumph in the face of adversity--both personally and professionally. This collaboration of life journeys provides encouragement for people like me who aspire to write, speak, and touch the world with my message and passion. From the Forward by Joe Vitale all the way through the section in the back that offers special free gifts from the contributors, I was lifted up with every page! I can't believe where some of these people came from. Just when you think your situation is destitute and you may never actualize your own dreams, you can open the pages of this treasure and find that some of these brilliant minds were homeless, abused, divorced, and much more. It is crazy how far they came to the point now where they are making income that most of us could only dream of, and they are realizing their dreams. This is a priceless resource that I will have in my library for years to come. I can't wait to get the other books in the series!
Everyone can benefit from the wisdom that is shared by the experts in Ready, Aim, Soar! The interviews are honest and compelling, and will touch the soul of the reader in a way that will make them want to dig deep and strive for their own personal excellence. This is a must-have for your own bookshelf, and would make a unique gift for others as well.
5.0 out of 5 starsWise Bear Books Reviews Ready, Aim, Soar! by Expert Insights Publishing -- 5 Paws!
Ready, Aim, Soar! is a book that can and should be read over and over again. There are many wonderful pearls of wisdom contained within the pages of this inspirational anthology. Expert Insights Publishing has created a tremendous opportunity for small business owners, life coaches, mentors, and most varieties of self-help gurus to wade into the waters of authorship without having to tackle the onerous task of self-publishing and marketing on their own.
Some of the participating teachers and authors are household names like Joe Vitale. Most of the contributions come from a plethora of successful business people and life coaches who are well known within their circle of influence and are in-demand professional speakers. Add to this respectable list a number of lesser-known patrons who offer messages in most cases just as profound as their more famous fellow writers.
The real beneficiaries of this work are the readers themselves who are treated to 40 six-page articles. The contributors address their expertise and interests in a question-and-answer interview format that is generally well written and descriptive of the core message they wish to convey to readers. Topics include messages of inspiration and success, accomplishments in business, technology, media, etc. as well as health, happiness and personal fulfillment.
While you may read words, thoughts and phrases dealing with spirit, intuition and other new age verbiage, Ready, Aim, Soar! is far more than a mystical how-to about making the law of attraction work for you in your life, relationships and/or career. Each author's vignette is a shared experience about his/her own personal journey--something we all can learn from.
Some installments might resonate more with you than others, but that's the beauty of an anthology like Ready, Aim, Soar! You don't have to read it cover-to-cover. If you prefer, you can use the comprehensive table of contents to search out topics that most appeal to you. One minor criticism is that we would've liked the table of contents to have included hyperlinks to their corresponding sections.
Ready Aim Soar! also features extensive appendices which are great tools for readers looking for specific topics and information. Many of the authors have included valued-added products and services which readers may find beneficial. An authors' directory with websites and/or email addresses makes it easy for interested parties to reach out to contributors if they want to consider further interaction in terms of teaching, coaching or seminars, although there are no hard-sell schemes or up-selling tactics.
If you've ever wanted to start a business or find more personal fulfillment in your life, Ready, Aim, Soar! is a good resource for you. We recommend this thoughtful anthology to anyone who is ready to invite change into their lives, but isn't sure how or where to start. And if you're already walking your path, this book is a great reminder to stay the course.
Enjoyed the diversity of authors and the wide range of experiences and advice they provide to be successful and achieve your goals.
