Sciency Thoughts: Magnitude 7.5 Earthquake in the Canterbury Region of New Zealand.
Magnitude 7.5 Earthquake in the Canterbury Region of New Zealand.
The GeoNet project, which monitors quakes in New Zealand, recorded a Magnitude 7.5 Earthquake at a depth of 15 km, about 15 km to the northeast of Culverton in the Canterbury Region of South Island, New Zealand, slightly after midnight New Zealand Daylight time on Monday 14 November 2016 (slightly after 11.00 am on Sunday 13 November GMT). Two people are known to have died due to this event, and it is feared that there may be more casualties as a large number of buildings have been damager, or in some cases collapsed, many in remote rural areas. There have been a large number of aftershocks since the original event, several of them in excess of Magnitude 6, and a tsunami warning was initially issued for the east coast of New Zealand, though this was later scaled back.

New Zealand is located on the boundary beneath the Australian and Pacific Plates. Beneath the islands the Pacific Plate is being subducted beneath the Australian Plate. This causes a great deal of friction which causes Earthquakes where the boundary between the two plates is close to the surface; this is to the east of North Island, but onshore on South Island, where it can lead to strong Earthquakes. Technically such quakes also occur where the plate margin is deeper, but these are felt less strongly as the rocks between the boundary and the surface absorb much of the energy, making strong tremors much less frequent on North Island. As the Pacific Plate sinks deeper into the Earth it is partially melted by the friction and the heat of the planet's interior. Some of the melted material then rises through the overlying Australian Plate, fueling the volcanoes of New Zealand.

"University-Industry Partnerships are Mutually Beneficial Dr Anthony Boccanfuso atICFAI University
"Industry and universities can complement each other and their partnerships will lead to mutual benefits," said Dr Anthony Boccanfuso, President of the University-Industry Demonstration Partnership (UIDP), Washington D.C.
BriefingWire.com, 8/19/2016 - "Industry and universities can complement each other and their partnerships will lead to mutual benefits," said Dr Anthony Boccanfuso, President of the University-Industry Demonstration Partnership (UIDP), Washington D.C. He was speaking on "Preparing Students for Careers in Industry" at the ICFAI University Campus, Hyderabad on August 19, 2016. The lecture was organized in partnership with the US Consulate General, Hyderabad.
During his talk, Anthony Boccanfuso explained how the business spends maximum resources on R&D, however, most of it is on development. On the other hand, Universities and Colleges spend their research budgets on carrying out basic research. Therefore, the industry and University can complement each other's efforts and their engagement can help in improving the lives of people and the development of transformational products, new medicines and new approaches. Universities can benefit from their collaboration with business as it can lead to substantial funding. He said industries can benefit through university collaboration by getting access to talent, ideas, facilities and non-technical expertise.
Speaking on preparing students for careers in industry, Anthony Boccanfuso said that the students need to be trained to be 'T' shaped professionals with a 'Growth' mindset. Industrial advisory boards and student-led project teams are possible ways through which universities can collaborate with industry, he said. Further, he advised the students to explore the social media for greater mileage and also appealed them to relentlessly pursue on their creative ideas and strive to make it a reality in order to be successful entrepreneurs.
Welcoming the speaker, Prof J Mahender Reddy, Vice-Chancellor, ICFAI University said that the University believes in a strong industry interface and emphasizes on preparing students for successful careers in industry with the right combination of knowledge, skills and attitude.

Hump Day Quickie Cocktail #24: The Presbyterian!
Scotch. How do you feel about it? It is not a liquor in our usual rotation, but sometimes it just hits the spot. And this quickie cocktail? Well, even if you are not a scotch drinker, this is still one for you.
Say hello to The Presbyterian!
TBT Classic Cocktail #23: The Salty Dog!
In a very "and now for something completely different" move, we are pulling out a super simple and super savory classic cocktail for this week's TBT: The Salty Dog!
TBT Classic Cocktail #22: The Negroni!
For this week's classic cocktail we are heading back in time to Italy in the early 1900s to recount the history of one of the most famous apéritifs of all time: The Negroni!


I have been reading more frequently now, mostly memoirs. Going back to reading somehow activated a part of my brain with distracting thoughts, including delusions of writing my own memoir someday, being fully aware that it will be severely uninteresting.
The most recent book I've finished is Adam Roberts' Amateur Gourmet which I enjoyed.
One of my favorite parts from the book was when Adam met up with food critic Ruth Reichl to talk about the ways of fine dining.
The waiter exits and Ruth tastes. The salad immediately fails her scrutiny.
I taste too and nod my agreement.
The prognosis is thoughtfully delivered and done so in a way that justifies her status as a great arbiter of taste. She's articulate in a way that most diners aren't because they don't know how to be. Her pronouncements are those of a good writer: they are specific. She doesn't say "yummy" or "bad." She says "the corn is starchy" and "the flavor is obscured." She knows her field, she knows how to analyze, she knows how to be critical.
And this is true of anyone who's passionate about a subject. Ask a movie buff what he thinks of the new Almodovar film and he'll answer you with great enthusiasm and flair. Ask a wrestling fan how he feels about cage matches, and he'll wax lyrical for hours. The lesson is that once you care about food, once you care about dining, you will pay more attention. Understand why some dishes succeed while others fail, notice how a dish is composed, what flavors it contains, how those flavors are contrasted, the freshness of the ingredients, the level of seasoning, the overall balance. Once you start noticing these things your ability to judge a restaurant on its merits will improve immeasurably. Ruth Reichl got to where she is because she paid attention. She pays attention now and I attempt to do the same.
And so from here on out I will also attempt to do the same. Such a nice takeaway for this writing space.

Neel Jani had the opportunity to take the lead of the championship this weekend after his good performances in qualifying. Unfortunately, after Saturday's fuel pump failure Jani's car stopped after 9 laps for electrical problems. Neel had a perfect start a was doing the perfect race by controlling his competitors even he had used tires. All the team was under shock after this second retirement of the weekend which makes the chances to win the championship very low.
Bruce Lorgere-Roux had a good start but lost control of his car twice due to to braking problems. Memo Rojas suffered also of braking problems and could not save his 9th position he kept until the final lap."


The four products shown include exchange- traded funds (ETFs), which give investors exposure to market risk, and exchange-traded notes (ETNs), which are debt securities backed by the credit of the issuers and expose investors to both market and credit risk. Neither the size nor the complex strategies of leveraged and inverse volatility ETPs are representative of the broader ETP market; see V Sushko and G Turner, "What risks do exchange-traded funds pose?", Bank of France, Financial Stability Review, forthcoming. As is common with debt securities, ETNs often come with an issuer call option to protect the issuer from losses. In the case of XIV, conditions of termination (called "acceleration" in the prospectus) include a loss of 80% or more from previous daily indicative closing value.

Weston heads to the Olympics

By Ashley Shah
Stephanie Weston, a local massage therapist who works at Fitness Quest 10 gym, is traveling with Team USA for the Summer Olympic Games.
Weston has been working for Team USA since 2019.
"I had seen a listing for a sports massage therapist position for the Olympic training center in Chula Vista in 2018. I just kind of had applied, just to see, but then I heard back from them, and I went in for an interview. I got the job in late 2018, and started in January of 2019," Weston said.
Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, Weston worked mainly with the track and field team as well as the men's and women's rugby teams. She also worked with swimmers, rowers and the archery team.
"Before COVID, I was only going in a couple of days a week, but when COVID hit, they really scaled back, and I haven't been back regularly since," Weston said.
Occasionally, Weston has gone to the center to work with the rugby teams.
On July 17, Weston left for Tokyo where she will be staying in the athletes' village for about three weeks.
"I know that the games will be different because of the pandemic, but I have seen a lot of communication on how to get the games done safely, so I'm super excited to go," she said. "I am just going to be available for anyone from Team USA that needs help."
Weston has been working in massage therapy for more than 10 years now.
"I had always had an interest in health. I grew up playing sports, mainly soccer, and I had considered many things like being a chiropractor or going into acupuncture. I thought massage therapy would be a good way to get my foot in the door," Weston said.
In 2011, Weston pursued her interest by attending the National Holistic Institute in Los Angeles.
"In LA, I had a lot of really good opportunities that really taught me a lot about massage therapy. I worked at a chiropractor's office; I had private clients; I worked on movie sets. Doors have just kept opening, and I keep taking them," she said.
In 2017, Weston began her time as a massage therapist at Fitness Quest 10 in Scripps Ranch.
"I remember I was just looking around for places that worked with athletes, and I stumbled across Fitness Quest 10. I contacted Todd [owner of Fitness Quest 10] and I got the position," she said.
In the future, Weston hopes to work with a professional team.
"I have always liked working with teams, and I think working for Team USA has really accentuated my interest in that," she said.
"I never expected this to be a full time gig, but I am so happy it is. Massage therapy is like a puzzle, there is always more to learn, and I love that," Weston said.

Any southern cook would have a variety of chicken casserole recipes and this is one of the finest. These are a staple and on to the point on family reunions and get together.
A startling weeknight dish which is low carb and excellent in taste.
Hello, foodies. Here we present yet another amazing and delicious recipe for Smoked chicken zucchini casserole. It just takes 15-20 minutes for preparation and 30-45 minutes for baking them.
Now dice cut all the vegetables in a large bowl.
And in a big bowl, combine all the stuffing mix and melted butter.
From this set aside around half a cup of this mix.
And then further add chicken, soup, zucchini, carrots, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and avocado and sour cream in the remaining stuffing mixture.
The next step is to transfer all the mix into a baking dish. Let it bake for around 25-30minutes covered with a foil.
After that, remove the foil and allow it to bake for another 10-12 minutes.
After done, take the casserole out and let it rest for around 10-12 minutes so it sets and absorbs all the flavors and water.
Sprinkle with some cilantro, jalapeños and serve with Greek yogurt and some hot sauce, if you want. Or you can serve it with just a bit of seasoning.
You can also add cheese while baking to give a cheesy flavor and texture.
This can be further served with noodles and yogurt and also some more grilled vegetables like mushrooms, broccoli, and baby corns.
An amazing way to bake this dish can be baked in different and multiple layers. One of chicken, one with vegetables, one with sauce and zucchini.Make a zucchini party with your friends with lots and lots of zucchini and chicken since they enhance each dish with its versatility.
Interestingly for the ones who don't prefer zucchinis can always use up tortillas instead.
This BBQ chicken dish is made gluten free and is protein packed.
The easiest recipe is here by your way. If you are too lazy just chop the zucchini – sauté it a bit and throw everything that you want in your dish in a baking or casserole dish with cheese (according to your preference) on top. A flavourful dish with the taste of Mexican chicken, rich in proteins.

How can I say this delicately? At foaling time, it's wise to wear muck boots. Foaling can be a messy procedure (ask me how I know this) and it's much easier to clean amniotic fluid off of muck boots than it is to clean it off of leather boots or sneakers or (please, no) sandals.
Maybe I'm just partial to books (um, yes?), but there's something comforting about having a printed manual at your side during foaling, ready for instant perusal if necessary. My copy of The Complete Book of Foaling: An Illustrated Guide for the Foaling Attendant by Karen E. N. Hayes has attended many foalings with me; another great choice is The Foaling Primer: A Step-by-Step Guide to Raising a Healthy Foal by Cynthia McFarland.
I have to confess: I love paper towels almost as much as I love books. So it's no surprise that my foaling kit always contains a roll or two of paper towels. They're useful for so many things—you can use them as a clean surface to place an item when you're working in the barn, a handy way to wipe up excess iodine, or even as makeshift tissues if you need to wipe away your tears of happiness after the foal's birth.
At foaling time, it's often helpful to keep an eye on the time so that you can be sure that the foal's milestones are happening at the appropriate intervals (standing, nursing, etc…). But when your hands are full, it's often easier to simply glance at a clock or a watch than it is to fish your cell phone out of your pocket to check the time.

Q: A point a is a cluster point of a set $A \subset \mathbb R$ iff there exists a sequence ${a ^{(k)}} \subset A\setminus\{a\}$ converging to $a$.
Prove: a point a is a cluster point of a set $A \subset \mathbb R$ iff there exists a sequence ${a ^{(k)}} \subset A\setminus\{a\}$ converging to $a$.

My thoughts:
I know that the definition of a cluster point $a$ of a set $A \subset \mathbb R$  is, for every $\delta > 0$, the n-ball $B_{\delta}(a)$ contains at least one point of A, not counting $a$. but I do not know how to use this definition to prove what required.
Could anyone show me how to prove this please?

A: Hint:
Take $\epsilon = \frac{1}{n}$ in the definition of a cluster point to find a sequence. For the other direction, the fact that a sequence in $A \setminus \{a\}$ exists already tells you something about the intersection of open balls with $A$.

Writer and journalist Lijia Zhang grew up in China after the cultural revolution.

Three thousand 'villagers' were packed into three dozen or so identical concrete blocks and there was little or no green space around.
Writer and journalist Lijia Zhang grew up in China after the cultural revolution.
She was born in Nanjing, also known as the southern capital of China, and grew up in a residential area for factory employees. Three thousand 'villagers' were packed into three dozen or so identical concrete blocks and there was little or no green space around. Lijia's home was a tiny industrial apartment that she shared with her mother and maternal grandmother, and her older sister. For most of her life her father lived and worked in another city, and only came home for thirty days a year.
Lijia had to leave school when she was sixteen to work in a dingy arms factory. "My job was to test pressure guages, and I did that simple and repetitive work for ten years". She says her naturally curly hair was probably the reason she never got promoted "my bosses thought I had a perm". Every aspect of life was tightly controlled -she even had her menstrual cycle checked every month, as did all the girls, to prove they weren't pregnant. Lijia says it was all done in the name of looking after a young woman's social welfare: "to a westerner one's period is something extremely personal and private, but there was no such thing as privacy back then".
She learned English by listening to a radio borrowed from a cousin, and by listening to the Carpenters: "you may think they're a bit naff but for us they're high culture from the West!".
To the horror of her grandmother, Lijia left China to live in England, to live with the "blue-eyed Oxford student she'd fallen in love with. "My grandma cried and cried when my airplane roared past Nanjing airport. She blamed herself for failing to change the way I held my chopsticks -far towards their ends, which meant, in her reading, I would go a long way away from home". After studying journalism for three years Lijia and her husband returned to China where she began her career helping foreign journalists. Frustrated though with not having the "final say" she set herself up as a freelance journalist to write her own stories for Western publications. She's now a highly-regarded and successful writer and journalist, and in 1999 co-authored China Remembers, an oral history of contemporary China.
Lijia lives in Beijing with her two daughters and her book has the rather cheeky title of Socialism is Great!

Cancer is a word that describes a wide range of similar diseases. There are over 100 different types of cancer, but they all have a lot in common. Primarily, all cancers are an extreme growth of abnormal cells that your body can't stop or destroy. These cell growths can spread from one part of the body to another, and they destroy normal, healthy cells.
Cancer cells often form a lump called a tumor, but the word 'tumor' does not always mean cancer, or 'malignant.' Some tumors are 'benign', or non-cancerous.
Cancer that first begins to grow within the breast is called breast cancer. Breast cancer is the second-most-common form of cancer diagnosed in women, after skin cancer.2 It's estimated that 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer at some point in her life, and for men, the estimate is 1 in 1,000.13 If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with breast cancer, you should know that a variety of treatments are available.
Doctors will perform multiple tests to help identify the cancer and the type. Once cancer is diagnosed, it will then be described by the 'stage'. The stage of cancer is based on the size of the cancer and if it has spread, or 'metastasized', anywhere else within the body. Doctors may describe the stage using a number (0-IV or 0-4), or they may use the TNM system (click here for a detailed explanation of the TNM system from the National Cancer Institute).12 Stages with low numbers mean that the cancer hasn't spread very far or at all. Stages with high numbers mean that the cancer has spread, which tends to make the cancer more serious and more difficult to treat.
The American Cancer Society™ has a Cancer Glossary, which can be used to explain cancer-related words more clearly.

Q: Which is faster in ASP.Net? Our project is currently using 2 ways to find a Control inside of pages.
The first is to use .FindControl recursively.
The other is to use LINQ like this:
(from n in Page.Controls.Cast<Control>().Descendants(c => c.Controls.Cast<Control>())
 where (n as Label != null && n.ID == "TaskIDLabel")
 select n).First() as Label;

Which uses this Extension:
static public IEnumerable<T> Descendants<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source,
                                            Func<T, IEnumerable<T>> DescendBy)
{
    foreach (T value in source)
    {
        yield return value;

        foreach (T child in DescendBy(value).Descendants<T>(DescendBy))
        {
            yield return child;
        }
    }
}

Which of these 2 methods is better?  Which is faster?

A: I could perform testing and find out however the stopwatch class is quick and easy to use and will tell you exactly what you need to know in about 30 seconds of effort. Let us know what you find.
http://www.dotnetperls.com/stopwatch
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.stopwatch.aspx
I suggest either adding breakpoints at the end of each stopwatch or just outputting the value using Response.Write as you're only debugging.
Edit:
Have you actually noticed any performance issues or are you trying to standardise and make sure you select the correct method?
If you're using .Net 4 depending on the number of controls you could perhaps look at using the parallel extensions to iterate over the list quicker which may help. Look up "AsParallel()"

A: Your code and FindControl are functionally different. They do not do the same thing.
FindControl does not perform a deep search, whereas your code does. From MSDN:

This method will find a control only if the control is directly contained by the specified container; that is, the method does not search throughout a hierarchy of controls within controls.

Which is better? It depends. If you don't know where on the page a control is, then your recursive methods can find it.
However, assume that you have two controls in a Panel (ID="MyPanel"): a custom UserControl (ID="MyControl") and a Label (ID="MyName"). If you call `MyPanel.FindControl("MyName"), you will get back the expected label in the panel. If you use your function, it will first search within MyControl for a Label with ID="MyName". Because of that, if MyControl happens to also contain a label with ID="MyName", it will be returned instead. This could be unexpected if a control happens to generate a child control with the same ID as what you are looking for.
As for performance, your method performs a deeper search so it has the potential to be a much more expensive operation.

A: This is a gut shot answer but I would say the IL code your hand wrote code will generate is probably very very similar to the code used by FindControl. One major difference however is Microsoft code is generally extremely optimized for the CLR taking advantage of lots of compiler hints to execute faster than most hand written code.
So I would personally use FindControl in a recursive call.

Yeah it's not a comic Looks nice though.
Soon it will take a whole strip just to say all his titles.
It is called "revenge sweet revenge!".
Warning: Don't read this if you have any mental problems or are weak of heart. It's one of the most messed up things I've ever read.
Doobl is quite lovely actually.
The humour is so bad it's hilarious.
It starts out like that.
Yeah read some of the newer ones too, brilliant series.

Haha, this Doobl thing is fun.
EDIT: Eh, I expected more. Oh well.
Yes, it is a little short.
I chuckled at some in the beginning but overall.. poor taste, doesn't do it for me. If you have watched dogma or read sinfest you have some expectations. Also.. When the rapes, necrophilia and shooting begins is that supposed to be funny? Repulsive if anything.

Special "Presidential Debate Forecast" E-dition
Trump's 886th Day In Office
First Let's Get One Thing Straight
What people will see tomorrow night in Miami (if they're even bothering to watch) will not be a "debate." At best, the media circus put on by the Dishonest D-RAT National Committee will be a Joint Press Conference with NBC's Anti-Trump Moderators Lester Holt, Savannah Guthrie, Rachel Maddow, Jose Diaz-Balart, and Chuck Todd asking a bunch of questions.
Kicking off the race to 2020, the first D-RAT presidential debate of the 2020 cycle will be held in Miami on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Candidates are expected to take turns batting Hate-Trump Softball Questions out of the park.
Our Long National Nightmare that will surely be the 2020 Presidential Campaign during the next 496 days is officially about to begin, with what could be at best be called a "Joint Press Conference" among half of the top twenty announced Dishonest D-RAT Candidates who will never be president (Cory Booker, Bill de Blasio, Julián Castro, John Delaney, Tulsi Gabbard, Jay Inslee, Amy Klobuchar, Beto O'Rourke, Tim Ryan, and Elizabeth Warren) at Wednesday at 9 PM.
That event will be followed by another "Joint Press Conference" among the other half of the top twenty announced Dishonest D-RAT Candidates who will never be president (Joe Biden, Michael Bennet, Pete Buttigieg, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, John Hickenlooper, Bernie Sanders, Eric Swalwell, Marianne Williamson, Andrew Yang) at another Not Ready For Prime Time Event on NBC Thursday evening at 9 PM.
Four More Candidates who will never be presidents did not even qualify for either of the first two D-RAT Debates include Seth Moulton, Steve Bullock, Mike Gravel, and Wayne Messam (whoever the hell they are).
Hurley the Historian says it's little wonder Lincoln, Douglas, Kennedy, and Nixon will all be spinning in their graves tomorrow night.
And that's why our Quote for Today Committee chose Roman poet Juvenal's: "Two things only the people actually desire: bread and circuses."
According to Wikipedia, "Bread and circuses" (or Bread and games) (from Latin: panem et circenses) is an ancient Roman metaphor for people choosing food and fun over freedom. It often appears in commentary that accuses people of giving up their civic duty and following whichever political leader offers to satisfy their decadent desires.
SO, PERSONS OF CONSEQUENCE: It's time to update your Whistleblower Lexicons. No longer will The Blower use the term "debate" when describing any and all candidate interactions staged by the news media during the remaining 496 days of the 2020 Presidential Campaign. Instead, "Joint Press Conference," "Not a Debate," or "Not Really a Debate" will be used.
Finally, just to show you how silly and stupid things will get before it's finally over, let's review this classic so-called "debate from the 2012 Presidential Campaign.

Messi and Argentina Are Headed to the World Cup Finals
And it has, repeatedly, been Messi who has intervened in games to bend them to his will. Since that loss to the Saudis, he said, Argentina has "faced five finals, and been fortunate to win all five."
Fortunate is one word for it. Within the group stage, it was Messi who broke the deadlock against Mexico, just as Argentina's nerves were shredding, because the specter of humiliation hung heavy over the nation. It was Messi who opened the scoring against Australia within the round of 16. It was Messi who made the primary goal and scored the second against the Dutch, after which it was Messi who stepped up and took the primary penalty within the shootout.
Against Croatia, too, it was Messi who proved the decisive figure. The cruelty of knockout soccer is that a complete month's price of labor — more, actually — can evaporate in a single fast. Croatia's defining trait, throughout the tournament, has been its control, its composure.
It could not have been probably the most adventurous, probably the most thrill-seeking team in Qatar, however it has been disciplined, organized, resolute. It has worn down opponents, held them at bay, trusted that they might make the primary mistake. It had done it well enough not only to make it to the semifinal, beating Brazil along the way in which, but to survive the primary half hour of Tuesday's game with barely a scratch.
Luka Modric, that other generational talent attempting to stave off the ultimate curtain, had established his authority over the midfield. His redoubtable cadre of lieutenants — Marcelo Brozovic, Mateo Kovacic, Ivan Perisic — were hurriedly and dutifully putting out what few fires threatened to ignite. Argentina was beginning to get that very same sinking feeling that loads of teams face when confronted by Croatia.
But all it takes is a moment. For the primary time — on this game, on this tournament, possibly in his life — Modric took his eye off the ball. Moderately than coming under his command, it rolled under his feet, squirming out to Enzo Fernández. Irrespective of; Fernández was still deep in his own half. There was no immediately apparent danger.
Modric is so reliable, though, that it had not occurred to anyone that he might err. Josko Gvardiol and Dejan Lovren, Croatia's central defenders, had drifted apart, attempting to supply him a good angle for a pass.

July 4 Call for Justice and Peace in Iraq
Submitted by Editor on 6/29/2005
National Council of Churches USA, Governing Board, 6/29/2005
[The NCC invites you to join them in this July 4th statement.]
This year our nation is at war as we observe the 4th of July, a day that honors those founders who spoke out for independence from tyranny. Today in Iraq a cruel dictator has been deposed, yet the suffering of the Iraqi people continues. Mandated elections have been held, yet the future of Iraq remains as uncertain as ever. Day by day the cost of this war for the United States, for Iraq, for peace grows clearer. No weapons of mass destruction have been found; no link to the attacks on September 11, 2001 has been shown. It has become clear that the rationale for invasion was at best a tragic mistake, at worst a clever deception.
As people of faith, we believe in the transcendent sovereignty and love of God for creation, and that the responsibility of human beings is thus to pursue justice and peace for all. We also believe that, as the biblical prophets of old, who in faithfulness to God spoke out to a people and a nation they loved, in humility before God we too are to speak to a land and people we love. As religious leaders we invite others who share our affections and dismay to recognize the time has come to speak out.
The time has come to say:
- NO to leaders who have sent many honorable sons and daughters to fight a dishonorable war;
- NO to the violence that has cost over seventeen hundred American lives, left thousands grievously injured, and killed untold numbers of Iraqis whose deaths we are unwilling to acknowledge or count;
- NO to the abuse of prisoners that has shamed our nation and damaged our reputation throughout the world;
- NO to the price tag for this war that has rendered our federal budget incapable of adequately caring for the poorest of our own citizens; and,
- NO to theologies that demonize other nations and religions while arrogantly claiming righteousness for ourselves as if we share no complicity in human evil.
- YES to foreign policies that seek justice rather than domination, compassion rather than control;
- YES to an early fixed timetable for the withdrawal of United States troops and the establishment of a credible multinational peacekeeping force;
- YES to the honoring of human rights even for our enemies and for a restoration of our reputation as a people committed to the rule of law;
- YES to spending and taxing priorities that put the poor first, providing health care, housing, employment, and quality education for all, not just the few; and,
- YES to a restoration of truth telling in the public square and to last resort rather than first strike as the criterion for the use of force to restrain evil.
On the day we celebrate our freedom, we acknowledge that the freedom promised in the toppling of a dictator has been replaced by the humiliation of occupation and the violence of a civil war. The sacrifice of brave men and women has been used to serve policies that have diminished our nations prestige and our capacity to be agents of justice in the world.
It is time to speak out that this 4th of July will celebrate the best ideals of our nation for our sake and for the sake of the world.

Upton Hall School
Front Lawn
Arriving on the lawn in front of the main buildings, the original Upton Hall is the two storey building on the right, while the larger three storey building on the left was built by the Sisters in 1863 prior to the School moving from Lingdale House.
Upton Hall Convent School from the Front Lawn around 1910
The lawn remained until construction work on the Lingdale Building was started in 1998, when it was converted into a temporary car park. After the building work was finished, most of the former lawn was retained as a permanent car park.
