The Pope has said that minorities need to be protected but wants the UN to be involved.
Pope Francis said that this was a case of unjust aggression.
POPE FRANCIS HAS endorsed the use of force to stop Islamic militants from attacking religious minorities in Iraq.
He has said however that the international community and not just one country should decide how to intervene.
Francis also said he and his advisers were considering whether he might go to northern Iraq himself to show solidarity with persecuted Christians. But he said he was holding off for now on a decision.
Francis was asked if he approved of the unilateral US air-strikes on militants of the Islamic State who have captured swaths of northern and western Iraq and northeastern Syria and have forced minority Christians and others to either convert to Islam or flee their homes.
But, he said, in history, such "excuses" to stop an unjust aggression have been used by world powers to justify a "war of conquest" in which an entire people have been taken over.
His comments were significant because the Vatican has vehemently opposed any military intervention in recent years, with St. John Paul II actively trying to head off the Iraq war and Francis himself staging a global prayer and fast for peace when the US was threatening air-strikes on Syria last year.
But the Vatican has been increasingly showing support for military intervention in Iraq, given that Christians are being directly targeted because of their faith and that Christian communities which have existed for 2,000 years have been emptied as a result of the extremists' onslaught.
The US began launching air-strikes against Islamic State fighters on 8 August, allowing Kurdish forces to fend off an advance on their regional capital of Irbil and to help tens of thousands of religious minorities escape.
Church teaching allows for "just wars," when military force can be justified under certain circumstances. And in recent days, a few Vatican officials have edged increasingly toward acknowledging the Iraq situation fits the bill.
Francis sent a personal envoy, Cardinal Fernando Filoni, to northern Iraq last week with an undisclosed amount of money to help people in flight and show the Pope's solidarity with those forced to flee their homes.
Email "Pope Francis has endorsed the use of force to stop Islamic militants in Iraq".

AIDS/harm reduction activists press Obama.
First, the good news: After 20 years, the U.S. Congress has voted to remove the funding ban on syringe exchange programs designed to combat AIDS and to bring hard drug users within the orbit of the medical health community.
Clearly, needle exchange activists are still waiting for an unambiguous sign from the White House that Obama plans to uphold his campaign promises in this regard. Obama's go-slow policy on needle exchange has frustrated AIDS activists in particular.
In a post in January of this year, I wrote: "Obama's agenda, as spelled out at Whitehouse.gov, calls for rescinding the ban in an effort to save lives by reducing the transmission of HIV/AIDS. 'The President,' according to the agenda, 'supports lifting the federal ban on needle exchange, which could dramatically reduce rates of infection among drug users.'"
Back in May, Maia Szalavitz reported in Time that the president was planning to move deliberately as part of a broader HIV/AIDS strategy, even though groups from the World Health Organization (WHO) to the American Medical Association have gone on record with the view that giving clean needles to drug addicts is a successful strategy to reduce the spread of HIV disease. Studies by Don Des Jarlais of Beth Israel Hospital in New York suggest that infection rates in New York's drug addict population may have dropped more than 75 % over the last few years as clean needle programs became increasingly available.
There are always good and bad side to a bill...but the best is to get to be updated about them.

TheStreet.com Review
Many books have been written about the harsh conditions women in Afghanistan had to suffer during the Taliban rule. We've read about them being arrested for leaving the house without a male relative, getting stoned for not wearing a burqa and getting beaten to death for exposing an arm in public.
Few, if any books, however, have told the tale of women surviving by becoming successful entrepreneurs. The Dressmaker of Khair Khana, written by former ABC producer Gayle Lemmon, does just that by documenting the true story of Kamila Sidiqi, who built a successful business at a time when women were strictly prohibited from working.
With two potential breadwinners — a father and a brother — forced to flee their hometown, Kamila had to quickly find a way to provide for her siblings. She decided she would work discreetly as a seamstress. For this plan to work, there were, of course, problems to overcome.
Several times, Kamila risked running into members of the ruthless Taliban religious police. Without any sewing skills to begin with, she first had to travel — unescorted — to another part of town for sewing lessons. Later, she had to make several trips to the local bazaar to secretly inquire from shop owners about selling her dresses.
The business plan initially involved only the Sidiqi sisters working from their home in Khair Khana. As orders for dresses started to increase, so did demand for additional pairs of hands. Soon, word got out about the business, and women from all over town came knocking on their door.
What started out as Kamila's idea to feed her own family turned into a source of income — and I must add, a source of hope — for other women in her community.
An interesting twist to this story was finding out that admirers of Kamila's dresses included the Taliban themselves. The Sidiqi sisters had no idea when they received an almost impossible job order of six dresses, due in one day, that they were making dresses for a Taliban wedding. If Kamila was being discreet about her dressmaking venture, so were the Taliban about patronizing her work.
The Dressmaker of Khair Khana shows us a side of Afghanistan that is so different from what we have seen so far. It is a welcome change to read about entrepreneurship, sales and marketing in the same pages that illustrate a repressive Taliban regime.
I recommend this book to anyone who has ever had an idea or a business plan. Kamila's story is engrossing, and her courage truly inspiring.

What is the house address and office address of Buffalo Sabres? Are you searching the Buffalo Sabres Facetime, Fb, Twitter, or Insta id of Buffalo Sabres? let's check out these details in our article below.
Buffalo Sabres Phone Number, Office Address, Email, Biography, Wiki, Whatsapp, and Contact Information
New York Rangers of the National Hockey League, a professional ice hockey team headquartered in Buffalo, New York (NHL). As previously mentioned, Buffalo has won back-to-back conference championships (1975, 1999).
In 1970, the Sabres were an expansion team. A trio of Quebec-born talents, including Gilbert Perreault at the centre and Rick Martin at left-wing and René Robert at right-wing, carried the team to its first-ever postseason participation in 1972–73. To cap off an impressive divisional season in 1974–75, The French Connection took Buffalo to the Stanley Cup Finals, where they fell to the defending champion Philadelphia Flyers in seven games.
Between 1975–76 and 1978–79, the French Connection and left-wing Craig Ramsay helped the Sabres finish second in their division four times in a row, although the team never made it past the NHL quarterfinals during that stretch. Buffalo fared better in the early 1980s, winning the division title in both 1979–80 and 1980–81 and reaching the NHL semifinals in the latter year of the decade.
Buffalo Sabres Phone number
Nine times in 11 seasons from 1981–82 to 1991–92, the Sabres qualified for the postseason behind the play of all-star defenseman Mike Ramsey, but only once in the nine playoff appearances. When the Sabres acquired goaltender Dominik Hasek in 1992, the team got a player who would go on to become one of the game's all-time greats.
Coach Lindy Ruff, a former Sabres player, took over as head coach of the Buffalo Sabres in 1997 and led them to the conference finals in their first season. The Sabres, who finished eighth in the Eastern Conference that season, made it to the Stanley Cup Finals for the second time in their history in 1998–99, losing to the Dallas Stars, who had the best record in the NHL
Dallas won the Stanley Cup in controversial fashion in game six, with Brett Hull scoring a questionable goal in triple overtime to give the Mavericks the lead for good. Hull's skate was legally in the crease when he scored, according to Buffalo players, coaches, and fans. But game officials disagreed. After the second and third seasons, the Sabres made the playoffs before going three seasons without making the postseason.
Buffalo Sabres Biography/Wiki
Buffalo made it back to the postseason in 2005–06, this time behind the play of star goaltender Ryan Miller. In 2006–07, the Sabres were the NHL's top regular-season club, winning the Presidents' Trophy and advancing to the conference finals once more. Until the conclusion of the first decade of the twenty-first century, the squad had a winning record of its own.
Buffalo's mediocre season in 2012–13 came to an end when the team dismissed Ruff. Buffalo moved Miller during the 2013–14 season when the Sabres had the poorest record in the NHL. The move was made in an effort to jumpstart the rebuilding process. The problems of the squad persisted, as Buffalo missed the playoffs for a lengthy period of time.
Buffalo is a port city in western New York state and the U.S. county seat since 1821. It is situated when the Niagara River narrows into Lake Erie on the eastern end. As New York's second-largest city, Buffalo is the centre of a sprawling metropolitan area that includes the towns of Amherst and Cheektowaga, as well as the cities of Lockport, Niagara Falls, and Tonawanda–North Tonawanda.
As a result of Lake Erie's influence on Buffalo's climate, the city has milder summer and winter temperatures and more moisture during the winter months. 53 square miles are covered by the city (137 square km). As of 2000, the population was 292,648. As of 2010, the population was 261,310. As of 2010, the population of the Buffalo-Niagara Falls Metro Area was 1,135,509.
Early French trappers and Jesuit missionaries came to Buffalo because of its strategic location at the crossroads of transit routes from the Hudson and Mohawk valleys to the Great Lakes basin. The Griffon, an explorer's ship, was built in 1679 on the Niagara River's banks by René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur (lord) de La Salle. In 1758, a French trade post was established by Chabert Joncaire, but it was burned down by the British the following year, forcing it to close.
In 1780, the area was occupied by Seneca Indians who were under British protection. Joseph Ellicott, a surveyor for the Holland Land Company, designed the town's layout in 1803–04. At the height of the War of 1812, it was known as New Amsterdam (but was more commonly referred to as Buffalo), with a population of roughly 1,500, and it became the American military headquarters for the Niagara frontier operations.
Despite being once again destroyed by the British, the village of Buffalo was rebuilt and established in 1816. Even though buffalo (bison) did not live in the area at the time, the origin of the place name is a matter of debate. It is possible that Buffalo Creek got its name from a mispronunciation of the French belle fleuve ("beautiful river").

Wow, that south easterly blew up today as predicted. Extra lines on the skiffs tonight, a rather large swell rolling in from the south west rocking the docks, yes, nice to be in a land based lodge tonight. The fire is roaring, the guides are grubbed up and in the sack as they sleep it off and get ready for a big day tomorrow.
The bite yesterday was sporadic, a few chinook at a time squirting through, some boats luckier than others. I found the morning to be infested with 8 lb coho, but we grabbed one northern weighing in at 16 lbs, a big beak on him to, and a crazy coho fight made it a memorable fish. I did not see much for size or quantity in the chinook department, looked in the fish pit and saw buckets of coho.
The afternoon saw some chinook move in, predominantly teenagers, although we did land a 25 lb specimen. I saw Bud had a 27, a few others in the high twenties, but 16 to 18 were the norm. And yes it rained hard! A real soaker.
This am we pounded coho and the backside of Andrew, into Rat Bay but the kings were real slow on the bite, myself coming in with one 18 lber. Had a yellow dot the size of a loonie on its gill plate. Kind of unique and always a question arises about the yellow dotters. The pm fish was a soaker with a south east gale, real good times. The boats thinned out by four and Coho point was deserted. We took advantage and Gloria Grove hammered a 34 which put up a good struggle. Upon landing the fish we noticed a 100 feet of mono and a swivel, also noticed the hooks down the throat, yes a gut hooked break off. That fish fought hard , imagine swimming with two hooks and a 100 feet of line dangling out your mouth, now that's mouth breathing!
We also picked up a big 14 lb coho, in between vicious boats with sea sickness, thank goodness for a big tide change. The water was manageable, but bouncy, not a bad ride in a huge whaler, not so much in a skiff. It rained buckets, thunder showers…wow, were we wet!
We called it at 630, sanity prevailed. When I arrived at the dock we were the last guide boat in. I interviewed Jason and his boat had a tyee today. Jason reminded me Chutter had a 34 at coho in the am. Kui found a 29 for Linda Pearson at Rat Bay. I see 6 tyee for the trip, so yes, the chinooks are still around. I think we will be on them again when the wind settles down.
I am finding the bite better late afternoon. Store Clerk and myself snuck out after work yesterday, and we found steady if not great action for about two hours. I have no real idea how deep she was fishing other than she was on the starboard downrigger and using her secret cut plug herring roll, yes I think she pirated my roll. She had a number of chinook up to 23 lbs and a bushel of coho. Her biggest chinook came off the stern mooching rod nailed on a perfect hook set and a crazy good fight.
Well tomorrow looks promising, I hope to have another full report for you. Time now for rest, fuel, ice, and a full grub up, see you all tomorrow and thanks for checking in.

Thousands flock to donate sperm on Chinese eBay-style website
China's biggest retail platform breaks new ground by offering sperm donation and paternity testing services
By Charlotte Middlehurst 22 July 2015 • 3:06pm

More than 20,000 men signed up to donate sperm within three days of Chinese internet giant Alibaba launching its new online health service.
Some 22,017 people registered via the e-commerce site for paid-for sperm donations at one of seven sperm banks nationwide, reported state newspaper China Daily.
The offer was available for three days running from last Wednesday to Friday, inclusive. Each man received a payment of between 3,000 and 5,000RMB (£315-525) from the sperm banks.
Participants only needed to provide their name, last six digits of their ID card number and an email address to complete registration, in an online process designed to encourage shy men to come forward.
Clinics in some provinces in China have reported a shortage of sperm donations.
Around 69 per cent of the applicants came from Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing. They are required to attend a sperm clinic in person within three months of signing up for the offer.
The service was offered jointly by Taobao and KingMed Diagnostics, China's biggest third-party medical laboratory group.
Alibaba, owner of Taobao, has set its sights on the online health market as the country's middle class continues to expand and greater numbers of Chinese people seek private medical care.
The website also attracted 137 customers for paternity tests and 4,060 for sperm fertility testing. Testing services cost 699RMB (£75) per test.
Demand for paternity tests is on the rise in Cihna due to, "strict household registration policies and traditional values focusing on family ties", reported the China Daily.
People without birth certificates are required to provide test results in order to obtain a 'hukou', a form of registration essential for gaining legal residency and access to social services, such as educations and medical care.

As I mentioned in a previous update, this is an adaptation of Dracula that is much changed and much whittled down. The very bare bones of the original story are still here, but a lot is left out.
That being said, it's still an enjoyable listen, and the cast all give excellent performances.
However, if you're a Dracula purist, you might want to pass this one by.


"The Egg Story" lesson plan explains the entire process of hatching eggs with day by day color pictures of developing and hatching chicken. It shows how an egg is formed, what its different parts and functions are and how a chick embryo develops and hatches. It also gives an insight into particular biological topics such as blood circulation, respiration and bones.

Whether that's a testament to dedication to Rihanna's Instagram in lieu of oral hygiene, or just plain forgetfulness, we don't know. BUT, something your business shouldn't ignore!


Milipitas, Calif. — Flash memory maker SanDisk reported posted a $35 million loss for its fourth quarter on total revenues that climbed 55 percent to $1.16 billion, while the company reported a net income of $199 million for the year on a total revenue of $3.3 billion.
SanDisk's fourth-quarter financial report was impacted by its purchase of M-Systems, a USB flash-drive manufacturer, which closed last November. M-Systems contributed $115 million in revenue to SanDisk's bottom line for the fourth quarter, ended Dec. 31. In addition, acquisition costs had a negative effect on SanDisk's 2006 financial situation. The $199 million in net income was down from the $386 million generated the previous year due to the M-System's merger, the company reported.
SanDisk said the fourth quarter was its best ever from a financial and product shipment standpoint with its retail and OEM operations each experiencing excellent sales during that period.
The company expects sales to slip slightly during the first quarter for its retail products, but anticipates a strong OEM environment. The company is now working on the integration M-Systems and transitioning its production from 70-nanometer to 56-nanometer NAND.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013 10:59:00 EST
Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013 10:15:00 EST
Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:32:00 EST
The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.


A buddy of mine wrote me an email asking what I think about a situation. Seems someone told him that he should go a thousand miles out of his way in order to get training from the best aikido teacher in the country instead of going to the lower-ranked local instructor for regular training.
Reminds me of a situation we had in college. We had our club established and running for several years, and a new guy moved to town - a shodan in another organization. He boldly came forward and wanted us to loan him our mats so that he could teach a class his way. We politely declined and suggested that he come practice with us, to which he politely declined, responding, "No, I'd rather not do aikido than do aikido your way."
This sort of inane, mind-boggling snobbery crops up every so often.
The best aikido is the one that you enjoy enough to practice regularly. If you can't practice regularly then you'll have a really hard time improving.
Relationships matter more than the #1 sensei's absolute skill level. If the head guy is a jerk that you can't stand being around, then your aikido career would be more successful if you practice regularly with people that you like.
You don't have to have the BEST aikido (as if there was such a thing) - you just have to have an environment that will make you better than you are today.
So, in short, aikido "right here right now" trumps aikido "done the right way." Find a local, accessible club where you like the people, and train regularly to try to make yourself a little bit better tomorrow than you were yesterday. The rest of the "which one is best" nonsense will sort itself out.


Efforts to attract foreign investments and boost local capacity in Edo State as initiated by Governor Godwin Obaseki have attracted commitment from the German Government and Arctic Infrastructure (AI), an infrastructure delivery firm.
He said skills acquisition programmes, investment platforms, and massive infrastructural renewal are some of the areas the Governor Obaseki-led administration has been targeting to attain a sustainable environment for the residents in the state.
The Consul General, Federal Republic of Germany, in Lagos, Dr. Stefan Trumann, expressed appreciation and confidence in the openness of Edo State to new ideas and investment opportunities.
Trumann noted that the Consulate was ready to partner with the state government in facilitating capacity building and exchange programmes, technical education and prospect of a trilateral relationship with some other countries.

Q: DjangoCMS: Application Integration and using CMS content on non-cms (app) pages? I am using DjangoCMS for a website, and I am trying to add a registration app . Putting it in all works well, at the moment hard-coded into the urls conf, BUT, I would like to use the CMS to set the content on some of pages in the registration flow..
e.g. on the few pages the registration app uses in its flow, like "register", "activate", "activation expired", etc I would like to use CMS content for the relatively static texts, teasers, etc...  using text and other plugins, etc.
(I tried to setup pages in django-cms that mirror the same page structure as the registration pages (e.g. as my registration page is under /account/register I created a account page with a child-page register .. and added the template for the registration form to the CMS templates...). This works with some CMSs, but not with djano-cms... :-(.. the moment django-cms takes over the views from the registration app don't get involved anymore, and so forms don't work, etc... )
Is there any way to do this?

A: As i remember, you can use a show_placeholder tag to display info from any placeholder of any page. So put your registration urls before the ones of django-cms and put in your page some tags referring to your special CMS page (that page should now show up in menu, surely).

Prowers Medical Center has employed a new physician recruiting firm which has a 92% placement success rate, especially for rural areas, according to PMC Chief Executive Officer, Craig Loveless. He told the Prowers County Commissioners, the new firm was contracted in an effort to hire internal medicine providers, a priority for the hospital for the past three years. "This will cost a little more, but should allow us better results," he explained, adding that with the area's aging population and rates of chronic illnesses, internal medicine doctors are a priority. Loveless said in a response to a question he was asked several weeks ago, "The number one job I have as CEO is to recruit and to retain physicians for Prowers Medical Center." He added that it is a time consuming facet, but a fully staffed hospital is one of the best ways to take care of a community's medical needs. He told the commissioners, "We pay a good salary, well above the national average and above the 50th percentile for those just out of school. But we can only go so far in our salary range, as higher fees wouldn't work for the community and wouldn't make economic sense." Loveless said he was given one reference for a potential candidate one week after employing the firm and hopes to have another listing in the near future.
Loveless said the hospital is in the process of replacing x-ray equipment and revamping the radiology room which included raising the ceiling and purchasing a table that can automatically be raised and lowered to accommodate the physical limits of patients and staff. The newer equipment, which should be installed by July 9th, will provide better imaging from a variety of angles. Plans also call for an update on the hospital's MRI unit. Injected dyes are used to observe how a patient's gall bladder functions, while enhanced equipment can aid for cardio patients, Loveless explained. "Right now, we can do stress echos with ultra sound and our treadmill, but a more expensive unit would perform a full heart scan," he said, explaining that that cost would be prohibitive without sufficient patients to pay for its cost, so tests of that nature are still conducted in Pueblo or Colorado Springs hospitals which means a patient has to travel out of the area. "We would like to have that type of equipment on hand, but we would have to perform from 15 to 20 tests a year, otherwise we'd have a negative return on investment. Sometimes in a rural area, you do have to spend for expensive equipment for health needs of the community, and we would try to find other ways to offset the financial loss while improving the medical care we could provide," he said.
Prowers Medical Center continues to fulfill its five year plan to upgrade the entire imaging department at the hospital. "We've upgraded the ultra sound unit and the CT scanner and the imaging room is underway which still leaves mammography and the MRI and nuclear medicine equipment to be done." Loveless said a portion of the hospital's 40 year old, cast iron sewer line is being replaced which will have one hall in the facility off limits to patients for a couple of weeks.
The CEO said the patient portal continues to be improved. The internet-access website maintained by the hospital can offer instant access to a patient's medical records and results of their most recent tests. A patient has to log in and apply for access to the site. "We've sent five of our staff to a conference to discuss ways to streamline the process, but we are working with two portal sites at present, one for the hospital which works very well and the one for the clinic which is being upgraded to fully integrate with the other. Our long term goal is to offer one single electric health record system for our patients, but it will take time," he explained.
