Final Fantasy 7 Remake is out March 2020, more details coming at E3 2019
It's actually happening.
Daniel Van Boom
Final Fantasy 7 Remake -- or FFVIIR as we're now calling it -- has an official release date: March 3, 2020.
The news was announced not at Square Enix's E3 press conference, which goes to air on Monday, but via a trailer dropped at a concert of Final Fantasy VII music at Los Angeles' Dolby Theater on June 9.
Final Fantasy VII Remake was first introduced as a tech demo, played all the way back at E3 2005 to show off what the iconic RPG would look like on the PlayStation 3. Then in 2015 the real deal was announced to great fanfare, but we've seen precious little of VII Remake since then.
Based on the presence of a PlayStation icon and the absence of an Xbox logo at the trailer's end, it appears Final Fantasy VII Remake is, at least for now, a PlayStation 4 exclusive.
How is everyone doing? We announced the release date for #FinalFantasy VII Remake at the LA concert today.
We will be making further announcements tomorrow, but for now, please have a look at the short version trailer we revealed today. – Tetsuya Nomura #FF7R pic.twitter.com/epU6dWSLVn

Square Enix promised to reveal more about the release on Monday at the company's E3 press event. The first question that comes to mind about the release date is whether the entire game will be available on March 3. Producer Yoshinori Kitase previously said the game would be released in multiple Final Fantasy XIII-sized installments.
Other than the whole "multiple installments" thing, the biggest difference between Final Fantasy VII, the OG, and Final Fantasy VII Remake is in combat. Final Fantasy VII featured classic RPG turn-based bouts, while the Remake has real-time action. However, we likely won't see some of the bigger changes until we actually play the game: Kitase has also said that changes will be made to the storyline, too:
"I don't want the remake to end as something solely nostalgic. I want to get the fans of the original version excited," Kitase said to Dengaki magazine, translated by Gematsu. "We'll be making adjustments to the story with this thought in mind." Meanwhile, director Tetsuya Nomura said in the same interview that he hopes fans of the original "can be surprised once again."
With this big reveal coming before Square Enix's E3 press conference, expect that event to focus more on the Avengers game that Square Enix has been hyping on its social media accounts in recent weeks.

The green humphead parrotfish, Bolbometopon muricatum, is the largest species of parrotfish, growing to lengths of 1.3 m and weighing up to 46 kg. It is found on reefs in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, from the Red Sea in the west to Samoa in the east, and from the Yaeyama Islands in the north to the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, in the south.
It is the only species in the monotypic genus Bolbometopon.
The fish spawn pelagically near the outer reef slope or near promontories, gutters, or channel mouths during a lunar cycle, and they use spawning aggregation sites.
The juvenile green humphead parrotfish is found in lagoons, often in seagrass beds, and the adult is found in clear outer lagoons and seaward reefs up to a depth of 30 m. It feeds on benthic algae and live corals. It may ram its head against corals to facilitate feeding. Each adult fish ingests over five tons of structural reef carbonates per year, contributing significantly to the bioerosion of reefs. The fish sleeps in caves and shipwrecks at night, usually in large groups.
This species is highly sought after by fishermen throughout its range, and it has declined from overharvesting. Habitat degradation and destruction has sped the decline. Spearfishers and netters target the large groups as they sleep at night. This is a NOAA Species of Concern, thought to be threatened, but for which insufficient data are available to justify a listing under the Endangered Species Act.
Spearfishing while scuba diving was banned in American Samoa in 2001, but enforcement is limited. The waters surrounding Wake Island, Johnston Atoll, and Palmyra Atoll from the shoreline out to 50 fathom m are protected as low-use marine protected areas, which means any person of the United States fishing for, taking, or retaining this fish must have a special permit. Also, it may not be taken by means of spearfishing with SCUBA gear from 6 pm to 6 am in the US Exclusive Economic Zone waters around these territories. The population of the fish in Palau is now protected by an export ban and a national minimum size restriction of 25 mm.


The Escali Alimento series digital scales are equipped with highly accurate durable sensors and are perfect for kitchen, office and laboratory use. The scale features a removable stainless steel platform, a big display and easy touch buttons. A professional scale for the no-nonsense professional.


Surely, we must lend a helping hand.
So dignity will be restored, too.
FISH, it is an answer.

If your organization has not received an audit request from a software vendor, it is only a matter of time until it does. These audits, which are used by vendors to discover use of software beyond that which is contemplated by the license, typically begin with requests for data, access to your systems, or some form of verification of the extent of the organization's use of the software. Oftentimes, these requests are directed to a busy, mid-level IT employee who is told by the vendor that broad disclosures are required by the contract. If the response to the audit request is not managed correctly, software vendors can leverage complex licensing terms, well-intentioned changes to IT architecture, and off-the-cuff statements by busy IT professionals regarding the extent of software use into significant payments that are often much larger than they should be. Such unplanned, sizable payments can cause serious disruption to an organization and the budgeting process.
Fortunately, there are straightforward process changes that you can implement to reduce the risk of sizable unplanned payments to software vendors resulting from an audit.
First, if you receive an audit notice from a vendor, do not respond quickly. Take your time to carefully review the underlying contracts, consider the vendors potential competing motives, and then formulate a strategic plan for handling the overall audit process. The first important step of that approach is to carefully review all the contracts in place with the vendor. Oftentimes these are lengthy, complex and full of technical jargon and potential traps for the unwary. You may want your legal or compliance departments to handle this foundational aspect of the strategic planning for the audit.
Second, gather and review your licenses and contracts now, before the audit notice is received. To determine compliance, an organization must be able to count licenses and software deployments. However, the organization must first know what to count and how usage is measured, which requires a thorough understanding of the applicable license language.
Third, be aware of potential sources of unexpected exposure that are typically the result of well-intentioned changes to the IT architecture. Modern software deployment techniques, such as providing remote access to desktop applications via Citrix servers, allowing remote access via employees' own smart devices, and indirect access through portals and other technologies, can all drive up the number of licenses the software company may claim are required. Sit down with your attorney and carefully explain your deployment strategy so that you will understand how it will affect the number of licenses needed.
Fourth, beware of "consultants" and "free services" offered by vendors. Sometimes the audit is disguised as a free, value-added service to help an organization manage the environment with best practices. Do not be fooled. These engagements are often an audit by another name and the vendor's goal is to obtain payment from the organization based on the work of the vendor's consultant.
These steps are only a start, as managing software audits can be a lengthy process and is just one component of the software asset management lifecycle. With skilled negotiation of the license terms, proper end-of-life software retirement practices, and a robust set of asset management policies and procedures, the risk of substantial payment for non-compliance with software licenses can be significantly reduced. Your organization's attorney is a key component of this process, as all of these activities hinge upon a thorough understanding of the terms of the governing software licenses.
The attorneys at Lewis Rice have vast experience in navigating audits and all stages of the software asset management lifecycle. If you require assistance with negotiating or understanding IT contracts, assessing compliance, or responding to an audit notice, please call one of our information technology attorneys.
Finally, please save the date of Wednesday, November 9, 2016, for a panel discussion on navigating software audits at the Hilton Frontenac at 3:00 p.m. This discussion is the first of a series on managing the software asset management life cycle. Guests will have the opportunity to ask questions of our panelists, and a cocktail reception to follow. CLE credit is available. Click here to register for the event.

If your foster child exhibits strange symptoms, it may be a sign of something much more serious. You see, an alarming number of children entering the foster care system are found to have drugs in their system. In some states, an average of 8 out of 10 children are testing positive for a mixture of drugs, the majority of which are opioids. Tragically, many of these drug-positive children are babies and infants.
A pregnant mother may take opioids for pain management or because she has an addiction to them. Her unborn child is then exposed to these drugs while in the womb, getting addicted to them before he or she is even born. After birth, the newborn is suddenly cut off from the drugs they have grown to depend on. Painfully, they are catapulted into a harsh drug withdrawal, just like any other addict.
But, this withdrawal can turn into something called Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, or NAS. NAS is a group of agonizing symptoms endured by infants, caused by exposure to opioid drugs while in the womb.
Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Can Have Lifelong Effects on Children, and It's Worse in Tennessee.
The initial symptoms of NAS may include vomiting, sweating, seizures, an infant refusing to feed, hyper irritation, blotchy skin, and more. But, the long-term effects are often far worse. These can include hearing disabilities, brain disorders, language delays, problems developing, seizures, and psychiatric illness.
Unfortunately, this problem is not getting better. In the last fifteen years, the rate of infants born with NAS has quadrupled. Alarmingly, the number of Tennessee children suffering with NAS is higher than in other parts of the country.
Treating the effects of NAS can require a lifetime of costly medical care. This is why it's so important to seek legal help if your foster child exhibits strange symptoms, especially those of NAS. Our attorneys are ready to take on the major opioid manufacturers and get you the compensation you deserve.
You Need Legal Help If Your Child has NAS.
As a foster parent, social worker, or case worker, we know that you open your home and your heart to children in need. You shouldn't have to be responsible for the burden of costly medical care required to treat NAS and its long-term effects on the children you care for. That's where we come in. We will fight for just compensation for you and your family from the pharmaceutical companies responsible.
If you suspect your child has NAS, or may have had it as an infant, it's important that we speak with you right away. We want to hear your story, and we want to fight for you. Contact an experienced infant opioid withdrawal attorney today. The call is absolutely free.


It is safe to say that I am a beauty products fiend. I read fellow blogs and watch trustee YouTubers and I am not embarrassed to say, I often take a break from reading or pause the video mid-way in order to make a purchase (or at the very least, put items in my basket so that I do not forget them). My skin care journey is very much ongoing and whilst I have just laid bare my influential side, I do not buy every item thrust in my path. I have a smidgen of discipline and my skin is definitely an area that it is exercised.
Today I share with you the marvellous Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Lip Oil. A bit of a mouthful but a definite must-have in your skin care routine. I purchased the mint lip oil (06) from the Clarins counter in my local Debenhams. The sales assistant was lovely and she laughed at me as I told her how excited I was to finally be purchasing it!
When I got back to my car I opened the smart, deep red packaging, twisted the gold lid and pulled out the wand. The oil is applied with a thick doe-foot applicator and the product glides on smoothly with the subtle mint fragrance wafting up toward the nostrils. And even though the product is a gorgeous marine green colour, it glides on clear. Once applied there is a faint tingling which I personally love and is the reason I chose the mint oil. I like my lips to feel energised and revitalised, especially first thing in the morning and this product delivered.
The oil feels a little sticky once applied, which I was kind of shocked about. Although, upon reflection I prefer the slight stickiness to a greasy oily product. After a while the oil absorbs into the lips and leaves them feeling incredibly soft. In fact, I cannot articulate just how insanely soft my plump lips feel after I use this product. It actually rivals the Nivea Original Lip Care I included in my Items I'm Loving This Week #2.
Aside from the Clarins Lip Oil exceeding my expectations, I also wanted to talk about the packaging of this beautiful product. It comes in a slim, hard plastic container with a gold lid. The Clarins branding and product details such as volume and shelf-life are also written on the packaging in classy gold writing. I'm all about the experience of a product and I feel as though I am handling a luxurious and reputable lip product which offers more than just a shine.
The Clarins Lip Oil is made up using an innovative formula containing a unique blend rich in plant-based active ingredients, including three botanical oils; hazel seed oil, jojoba seed oil and shea butter. These ingredients help to nourish and protect your lips and I can definitely testify to this. The mint lip oil contains menthol and this helps to promote visibly plumped lips. Now, I personally do not need any help with the plumping of my lips, however, I definitely enjoy the subtle sensation when applying this product.
Research has also revealed that 8 out of 10 women were convinced by "the ultra-shiny results and nourishing comfort". I agree with these results. This product is worth every penny and the results are instantaneous. If you only invest in one high-end lip care product this year, it has to be this one.

An aura round the moon means it will rain soon: everyone has some words of wisdom about the weather. Alan Porteous has more than most, given his job as an agricultural climatologist at New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA). 'My work is to help people interpret climate data and make it easy to understand–like a farmer talking to his neighbour over the fence,'he says.
Porteous is regularly beamed across a TV farming programme. He gives insight into El Niño and La Niña and other climatic phenomena that impact on New Zealand's longterm rainfall patterns.
Many farmers associate his cheerful face with yet more depressing news about extended drought. While Porteous cannot change the weather he takes heart that he can give people warning of what is to come. 'I try to narrow the uncertainty band,' he says.
Porteous's steady and patient approach to his work is typical of his life in general. He has taken leave from his job five times in two years to travel to India and join like-minded Indian friends in spearheading the creation of a new educational centre at Asia Plateau, the Initiatives of Change conference facility in Panchgani. Alan's wife, Marion, has accompanied him twice.
Panchgani is a small town towards the northern end of the Sayadhri Ranges, a chain of rugged mountains that stretch some 1,600 kms along the western side of India. The area supports about one third of India's flora and fauna diversity and has been identified as a biodiversity 'hotspot' because much of this natural capital is under threat.
The plan is to set up partnerships with Indian universities, businesses and government, to allow Indian students and tutors to leave the big cities in order to participate in practical learning projects in the Sayadhri Ranges. Animal husbandry, botany and environmental science are among the potential fields that Porteous sees as being integral to the scheme. 'The strength of this idea is that it is an expression of the hopes of many people, and it is therefore gathering momentum,' he says.
A significant step towards the launch of the initiative will take place in October with Apni Dharati (Our Earth), described as 'an international environmental and cultural festival'. 'An important aspect of the whole plan is cross-cultural dialogue,' explains Porteous.
'The event will create space and opportunity for sharing indigenous knowledge systems and culture which are as much at risk as indigenous flora and fauna,' says Mona Patrao, who is manager of the event. 'Song, dance, theatre, films, art, craft and discussions will bring to our consciousness the wealth, ecological significance and diversity of indigenous lifestyles.' The artistic director of Apni Dharati will be Te Rangi Huata, from the Maori tribe Ngati Kahungunu, who will travel to India with the Kahurangi Maori Dance Theatre. Kahurangi will perform at the festival, and at official functions and schools in Mumbai and Delhi.
Behind Alan's balanced scientific approach lies a passionate enthusiasm for the environment and for the Sayadhri Ranges in particular.
Porteous feels that Panchgani is the perfect spot for science and education to join forces in meeting the demands of social and environmental improvement. Most of the people who farm the local plateau area are small family-unit landholders who have limited capital to try new farming practices. Porteous's vision is to bring students into live contact with scientists, farmers and community-minded individuals. Together they can then try to tackle some of India's key environmental challenges.
In fact his grandparents, Will and Edith Porteous, had started a hospital in northern India, and Alan's parents, John and Annette, at one point sold their farm and John become a waterside worker for six months at a time of strikes and conflicts between farmers and waterside workers in the 1950s. 'His key motivation was to build dialogue between the two sides,' says Porteous.
This family tradition of taking leaps of faith has been a strong element in Alan and Marion's life, too. Alan first went to India at the age of 18 and, at 24, joined an IC musical group called Song of Asia to tour India, Europe and Canada. They married in 1976, and one of their three daughters was born in India. When they returned to New Zealand Porteous studied for a Diploma in Field Technology at Lincoln University–'a big step to take with three young daughters and not much money'.
He managed to squeeze the two-year course into one year, and then they took another leap in faith, moving to Wellington, a more expensive city, without the promise of a job. But after 'hanging in there' for the right job, he has found it immensely rewarding to have a central role at NIWA.
Porteous's belief is that the role of science is to help us to live more sensibly. True to Kiwi character, he believes that long hours and hard work are key to getting things done. What is most evident in his achievements is that they are a result of his care for people and the environment.

Five Dead in Amtrak Train Derailment in Philly
Five people killed and ver 50 more injured when NYC bound train from Washington DC went off the rails in Port Richmond.
Cynthia Blank, 13/05/15 08:51
Train crash near Philadelphia
At least five people were killed and nearly 60 others injured when an Amtrak passenger train derailed in Philadelphia on Tuesday night.
The New York City bound train, carrying 238 passengers and five crew members, crashed in Philadelphia's Port Richmond section at around 9:30 p.m. local time, having departed from Washington D.C. several hours prior.
According to passengers, the front of the train was starting to turn when it began to shake, eventually going off the rails.
Several passengers were trapped inside of the train cars forcing firemen to use hydraulic tools to get them out. A second search is still under way for any other passengers or crew who may remain inside.
Some 120 firefighters and 200 police officers were on scene in what Philadelphia's mayor, Michael Nutter, described as "disastrous."
"It is an absolute disastrous mess," Mayor Nutter said during a press conference with Fire Commissioner Derrick Sawyer and Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey, shortly before midnight. "We do not know what happened here."
"The trains, 7 cars including the engine are in various stages of disarray, turned over, upside down, on their side. We are still investigating what's going on," Nutter added.
Fire department officials said that over 50 people, six of them in critical condition, had been transported to local hospitals.
Calling it a level three mass casualty incident, Fire Commissioner Sawyer declared, "I've never seen anything so devastating. They are in pretty bad shape. They have completely derailed from the track."
All Amtrak service between the major Pennsylvania city and New York has been canceled for the rest of the night.

What More can Europe do to Improve Human Rights - UPF Europe President
Written by Dr Yong Cheon Song
UNIVERSAL PEACE FEDERATION & WOMEN'S FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE
EUROPEAN LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
Held at European Economic & Social Committee/European Parliament, Brussels
"What more can Europe do to improve Human Rights"
Address of Dr Yong Cheon Song, Chair, Universal Peace Federation, Europe
Distinguished guests, Ambassadors for Peace, Ladies & Gentlemen! As Chair of Universal Peace Federation in Europe, it is truly an honour and a privilege to be able to extend a warm welcome to you all to the European Economic and Social Committee here in Brussels and to our European Leadership Conference on the theme "What more can Europe do to improve Human Rights?"
I am deeply grateful to you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to be with us here this morning and to the E.E.S.C. for acting as co-hosts of this conference and for welcoming us here to their magnificent building!
Our conference is being held as part of the programme of events being convened all around the world to mark U.N. Human Rights Day 2012 on December 10th which, as you know, commemorates the signing 64 years ago - on December 10th 1948 - of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The institution of the first 'Human Rights Day' on December 10th 1950, means that this year's commemoration is actually the sixty third such occasion and the special theme that the U.N. has given for it this year is "Celebrating human rights."
Ladies and gentlemen, in order to do proper justice to the theme given by the U.N and our own theme, I think that we need to ask ourselves the very basic question "what aspects of human rights are we really justified in celebrating and where must we do better?"
There can of course be no denying that the value of the 'Universal Declaration' document itself and of all the detailed rights that it enshrines, is worth celebrating. It is, after all, the basis of most modern human rights thinking, legislation and practice and has been translated into 310 languages - the most translated document in human history!
Also, the advances in human rights now, compared with the situation immediately after World War 2, are really very considerable. It is not for nothing that the European Union has just won the Nobel Peace Prize for its success in maintaining the peace (and by implication safeguarding human rights) in Europe over the last 60 years. As Dr Walter Schwimmer, the former Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, states in his book "The European Dream", "Europe, in spite of its many other problems, is still the most successful such peace project the world has ever had".
But how much should we really celebrate when, despite all the advances that the 'Universal Declaration' has encouraged, such terrible atrocities as the indiscriminate killing of over 40,000 people in Syria continue to this very day and te international community is powerless to intervene to prevent genocide?
The painful, but nevertheless somewhat encouraging truth, is that although so many things still happening today are indeed dark and truly disturbing, in the past conditions were really far worse and, for long periods of our history, human rights hardly existed at all. It is true that human history has been far more about "man's inhumanity to man" than anything else. However, seen against the backdrop of that stark and tragic reality I think that we can see that things have indeed been improving bit by bit and that the 'Universal Declaration' is a great step forward in terms of human aspirations and that that is indeed something to celebrate.
However, I feel that it is important that we do not allow ourselves to be mislead into seeing human rights as merely reacting to all the violations of one human being by another, great or small, as they arise. We need to understand how, in a positive and proactive sense, we should be treating each other so as to bring about interpersonal, family and societal harmony.
The only way to guarantee human rights for all is to ensure that all human beings live with the awareness that they exist for the sake of each other and that human rights violations are the result of living for oneself, of treating other human beings in a selfish way and taking advantage of them for ones own benefit.
From his early childhood, UPF's late Founder, Father Moon, who so sadly passed away three months ago, had a deep concern for human rights and a strong desire to right the many wrongs that he saw. He became aware, even as a child, that human life was filled with suffering and that much of it was inflicted by one human being on another. He began to search desperately for the root causes of such behaviour and this passion for human rights was only strengthened as a result of the almost unimaginable suffering he himself experienced as a victim of terrible human rights violations. These included being imprisoned 6 times in 3 different countries for crimes that he did not commit and being severely tortured during some of these incarcerations. In addition, he had to spend almost three years in a North Korean concentration camp where prisoners were literally worked to death and he only escaped due to the camp being overrun by liberating U.N. forces the night before his scheduled execution. What is more, many of his beloved family members were ruthlessly killed by the communist forces in North Korea under Kim Il Sung.
In the ideal world of peace that he began to envision in his heart, the eradication of human rights violations was of the highest priority. But he came to the conclusion that human rights violations could only ever be finally eliminated through each individual member of the human family connecting to God as the source of life and finding his or her own deep value, unique identity, sense of inner peace and capacity to love, in that way. He understood that the more deeply connected to the heart and love of God human beings were, the less likely they would be to hurt or abuse others.
He also realized that human rights violations would lead to unending ill feeling and would recur again and again unless their victims could learn to forgive those who abused them and let go of the past and he felt responsible to set an example in this respect. Not only did he forgive those who directly tortured him but he went to North Korea in 1991 and embraced the dictator Kim Il Sung who had been the key perpetrator of his own and his family's suffering, like a long lost brother and with complete forgiveness in his heart. To this day that supreme act of forgiveness, which so deeply touched the heart and mind of Kim Il Sung continues to be the greatest bridge of peace that unites North and South Korea and gives hope of constructive dialogue about an end to the almost 60 year stand off between those 2 nations. But more than anything else it stands as a powerful example of the power of forgiveness and of selflessness to change history in a better direction.
If Europe is to truly realize its capacity to become a society that embodies human rights, I believe that it will only do so by harnessing the value of religion to bring this about. I believe that it will need to significantly change its concept of human rights and what the role of human rights in relation to that of religion is, to do so.
Human rights have, to a great extent, become disconnected from the idea of God and the values of religion. I believe this has been a serious mistake and that it will be impossible to establish a truly, just harmonious, loving and inclusive society free from human rights violations without reconnecting the whole notion of human rights to God and to religion as they used to be.
Both the U.S. Declaration of Independence of 1776 and the French Declaration of Rights of 1789, which provide so many of the underpinnings of modern political thought, start from the fundamental premise that human rights are granted first and foremost by God rather than by man himself. The U.S. document speaks of citizens being "endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights". The French Declaration proclaims that these "natural, inalienable and sacred" rights are given "in the presence and under the auspices of the Supreme Being"
For the last 65 years or so, however, there has been a pronounced shift away from God-centered Human Rights. Thus the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights does not refer to God as such, although it is clear that many of its framers felt that it should do so and tried to ensure that it did. However, in the end they compromised by excluding the word God and insisting instead on at least including ideals and concepts having their roots in religious thought. Much more recently, a similar clash of ideas occurred over the wording of the proposed European Constitution and the word "God" was again excluded from the resultant document despite heavy lobbying from the Catholic Church and other mainline religious bodies.
I respectfully suggest that the time has come for human rights to once again be connected to God and religion and I believe that this would be the single most important step that could be taken to advance the human rights agenda in Europe and the rest of the world.
No other social institution requires the individual to search his or her conscience and examine how well or badly he may be treating his fellow human beings to the same extent as does religion.
Furthermore, no other social institution or body is nearly as clear about the supreme value of each individual human being as is religion. According to religious thought, each and every person that the believer may interact with is, like onself, a child of God. As such, that person has Sacred Value and must be considered as having unique and divine value in front of God. Thus to love one's neighbour or one's brother or sister has the same value as loving God himself and to do so is a core requirement of all the world's faith traditions. By the same token, to abuse another person in any way is to hurt God and to risk his wrath and disfavour.
For these reasons all major faiths enjoin their believers to follow the "Golden Rule" which requires that one treat others as one would wish to be treated oneself".
Thus, it is clear that religion is one of, if not the main human rights educator in society and a force that must be harnessed by all those who wish to solve the rampant abuses that occur.
I do believe that it is meaningful and worthwhile for the U.N. to mark 'Human Rights Day' and that one day a year be set aside to remember the importance of universal values. However, in this context I think that we should remember that religion insists that believers keep their heart and conscience focused continuously every day on how they are treating others and whether they are centered on true love or not. Indeed, one could say, therefore, that "in religion every day is Human Rights Day!"
Thus, I think it is clear that no other social institution has such strict rules and incentives upholding the ideal of living for the sake of others and against violating the human rights of others as religion does. Consequently, to exclude or limit the impact of religion on human rights issues is to seriously weaken the forces in society that uphold human rights. That is why I believe that harnessing the power of religious thought is key to building a good society in which human rights are as safeguarded as they can possibly be.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is important that we do not merely react to all the violations of one human being by another, great or small, but that we come to understand how, in a positive and proactive sense, we should be relating to and treating each other and that we have a broad vision as to how human rights will be realised.
The only way to guarantee human rights for all will be to ensure that all human beings live with the awareness that they exist for the sake of each other and that human rights violations are the result of living too much for oneself, of treating other human beings in a selfish way and taking advantage of them for ones own benefit.
Lastly in relation to the role of religion, UPF believes strongly that the wisdom and insight of religion exists to be drawn upon not merely by individuals but also by government. One key reason that Father Moon promoted an Inter-religous Council at the U.N. and interfaith work there generally, is so that the world's religions can help promote the cause of human rights around the world utilizing their truly global nature and unique insights about human rights based on their beliefs and lifestyle and deep sense of mission to help improve the quality of relationships within society.
I am happy to say that his initiative has, since the year 2000, been steadily gaining momentum and increasingly interfaith elements have been added to the U.N. culture backed by over 90 member nations who perhaps understand the value of interreligious and interfaith cooperation better than other nations do. Given that during the Cold War era religion was virtually a taboo subject at The U.N. due to Soviet lead opposition to it, such progress in drawing on the wisdom of religion is indeed heartening. I feel the time is coming when the EU institutions too should be thinking about how to utilize the range of religions in their midst to solve problems they are confronting, including human rights issues. It is quite possible that an Interreligious Assembly of some sort could be a valuable addition to the deliberative and decision making process within the EU also.
I also believe that we need to appreciate deeply the role that families centred on higher level values play in preventing human rights violations. Such families are "schools of love and peace" in which grand parents, parents and children alike can develop the heart of love and concern for others that is essential in creating a society based on those same values and in which human rights violations would simply not arise. In my opinion, therefore, anyone concerned with preserving human rights ought also to be deeply concerned to protect marriage and family values and willing to work to prevent any further erosion of those values
Conversely, one can see that those who abuse and exploit others the most, tend to come from disturbed, degenerate or dysfunctional families where there is little or no love and little ethic of "living for the sake of others.
Of course, strengthening the family will be of little help to those who have already been damaged or become disillusioned by their own family. That is why strengthening human rights and character education at all levels in society is so important. We need to try everything in our power to help those who have been let down by their family experience and have missed out on the kind of education of values and of heart that, at its best, the family can provide uniquely well. They need to be helped in very possible way to connect to values that will enable them to face their future with confidence. Schools, colleges, training bodies of all kinds, universities as well as the media and entertainment industry can all play an important role in getting across human rights education that can help people relate across racial, ethnic religious and national boundaries and promote social harmony and inclusiveness.
Ladies and gentlemen I am looking forward very much to renewing old friendships with those among you whom I have known before and to getting to know those of you who are here for the first time. God bless you and thank you again for coming!


The Ippolitos have had their share of health scares. Cancer. Stroke. Heart disease.
And more broken bones than you can count. But they've also had many reasons to celebrate.
Cancer remission. Stroke recovery. A mended heart. And always another baby on the way.
We've been there for them through it all. Giving hope. Showing compassion.

The town of Hyden is located  east-southeast of Perth, Western Australia in the Shire of Kondinin. Hyden is home to Wave Rock, Mulka's Cave and Hippos Yawn, all popular local tourist attractions.

The traditional owners of the area are the Aboriginal Australian group the Njakinjaki people, who have inhabited the region for thousands of years. The many granite outcrops, land formations, waterways as well as flora and fauna are still culturally significant to them.

Sandalwood cutters were thought to be the earliest European visitors in the area.

The land in the surrounding area was opened up for agriculture in the 1920s. A railway was built between Kondinin and Hyden Rock in 1930. The townsite was gazetted in 1932 following demand for land around the railway terminus.

The first wheat crop was harvested in Hyden in 1927.

The Hyden Progress Association was established prior to 1931 when the town was home to about 100 settlers. In 1931 the town had another large wheat crop, which was transported from the railway terminus at Lake Grace. The town was being surveyed and already had an oil depot, tea rooms and an agency with a store being constructed. A large catchment of water had also been built at Hyden Rock.

By 1933 the railway line from Lake Grace to Hyden was completed.

In 1933 the Progress Association built a pavilion at the existing sports ground and plans were made to construct a town hall. The hall was completed prior to 1935.

The town's economy continues to rely on agriculture, mostly in the form of cattle and sheep production that has a current value of approximately $35 million. The town also benefits from mining and tourism.

The surrounding areas produce wheat and other cereal crops. The town is a grain receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.

Around 100,000 tourists visit the town throughout the year while travelling to Wave Rock, which is  to the east of the townsite. Other visitors arrive during the wildflower season between September and December to see the many wildflower species that bloom at the time and different birds that feed on the blossom.

Wave Rock Wildlife Park
Wave Rock Wildlife Park is located in Hyden, and is set in  of natural bushland. The inhabitants include: koalas, wombats, kangaroos, wallabies, bettongs, possums, alpacas, camels, donkeys and a variety of birds such as emus, owls and swans. Native lizards freely inhabit the park and a cafe is on site for visitors.

After 17 days underground, all the Thai boys and their football coach have safely escaped from the Tham Luang cave complex.
A team of Thai and international divers mounted a dangerous and complicated rescue to bring the boys out, and details of the bid are still emerging now.
BBC correspondent Jonathan Head has answered some of the core questions about the boys, the rescue attempt, and what happens next.
Why did the kids go so deep into the cave?
We will not know that until we hear from them and their assistant coach, Ekkapol "Ake" Chantawong.
On that Saturday they were scheduled to play a match, which was cancelled, according to head coach Nopparat Kanthawong. He scheduled a training session instead.
The boys were keen cyclists so on the Facebook chat group through which they communicated with the parents, coach Ake suggested they cycle to the football field.
There was no suggestion there that they would go on to the caves.

Hi Dave. Thank you for your amazing website! We (30's / 40's couple – no kids) used your recommendations last year in September and visited Santorini (7days), Milos (3days) and Crete (12days) before spending 3 days in Athens. The trip was amazing and Greece is calling us to go back again this year! We have a conundrum which we are hoping you can assist (well, many of them really!)
By the early 1920s, small airlines were struggling to compete, and there was a movement towards increased rationalization and consolidation. In 1924, Imperial Airways was formed from the merger of Instone Air Line Company, British Marine Air Navigation, Daimler Airway and Handley Page Transport Co Ltd., to allow British airlines to compete with stiff competition from French and German airlines that were enjoying heavy government subsidies. The airline was a pioneer in surveying and opening up air routes across the world to serve far-flung parts of the British Empire and to enhance trade and integration.[14]
The first new airliner ordered by Imperial Airways, was the Handley Page W8f City of Washington, delivered on 3 November 1924.[15] In the first year of operation the company carried 11,395 passengers and 212,380 letters. In April 1925, the film The Lost World became the first film to be screened for passengers on a scheduled airliner flight when it was shown on the London-Paris route.
The first French airline was Société des lignes Latécoère, later known as Aéropostale, which started its first service in late 1918 to Spain. The Société Générale des Transports Aériens was created in late 1919, by the Farman brothers and the Farman F.60 Goliath plane flew scheduled services from Toussus-le-Noble to Kenley, near Croydon, England. Another early French airline was the Compagnie des Messageries Aériennes, established in 1919 by Louis-Charles Breguet, offering a mail and freight service between Le Bourget Airport, Paris and Lesquin Airport, Lille.[10]
Congress passed the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act (P.L. 107-42) in response to a severe liquidity crisis facing the already-troubled airline industry in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks. Through the ATSB Congress sought to provide cash infusions to carriers for both the cost of the four-day federal shutdown of the airlines and the incremental losses incurred through December 31, 2001, as a result of the terrorist attacks. This resulted in the first government bailout of the 21st century.[44] Between 2000 and 2005 US airlines lost $30 billion with wage cuts of over $15 billion and 100,000 employees laid off.[45]
Located on the eastern coast of Malaysia, the Perhentians consist of two islands. Both are stunningly covered with a lot of palm trees, wide beaches, and crystal blue water. There's not much to do here, and visitors typically lay on the beach all day, resting from last night's drinking. It's the perfect place to put up a hammock. A strong monsoon season limits when to go to between March and October. During the other times, it's best to head to Thailand, where the weather is nicer.


Admitted to Westminster School in September 1910, John Brown Hugh Terres (frequently referred to as simply 'Hugh Terres') was a man of many talents. Born in 1896, he was the only son of American doctor John Brown Terres and Frenchwoman Corrinne Pascal. He joined Westminster School and was admitted to Ashburnham House, before studying at Christ Church, Oxford in 1915. During his time at Westminster, Terres took an active role in House competitions, including debating, water, and House tug of war. He was also an active member of the Westminster Officer Training Corps, where he learnt the skills that he would soon apply during active service.
During his years at Oxford Terres became a keen artist, and meticulous records of his work were compiled by friend and fellow student F.G. Roe. Although an American by birth, Terres utilised his dual heritage and enlisted in the French army in 1917, a full year before American citizens were required to serve. Working initially as an interpreter to the American Squadron before becoming a flying pilot in May the same year, Terres was attached to the English bombarding group, 214 Squadron. Fitted with Handley Page twin-engine bombers, the squadron was based in France and responsible for night raids on military targets in Belgium.
Terres was transferred to the Italian front on 10th August 1918, following a call to partake in a secretive special mission. It was at this post that he tragically lost his life, dying in action just seven days later.


The President spent a greater part of the day assessing the extent at which the bombs hit Kampala in Kyadondo and the Ethiopian Village bar. In Kabalagala, he was particularly surprised on how a bomb could blow off a roof in a small bar fully occupied and none of them was able to notice something was wrong.
The Alshabaab have come out and claimed responsibility of the blasts that rocked Kampala on the July 11 night. President Museveni while addressing a crowd at Kyadondo Rugby Grounds termed the act as: "irresponsible, backward, cowardly. If you want to fight, why don't you look for soldiers and fight them other than targeting people enjoying themselves."
At Kyadondo, he was accompanied by the Mayor of Kampala Al Hajj Nasser Ntege Ssebagala. The President later proceeded to Mulago Hospital where he listened to some of the survivors.
Mulago Hospital was a beehive of activity with many trying to identify their loved ones. Grief and anger was eminent. A statement from Mulago Hospital put the number of those admitted at 58 of which 5 died on arrival, 2 died from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) as 3 remain in a critical condition.
The Media Center has put the official number of the dead at 74 broken down as 28 Ugandans, 11 Ethiopians, a lady from Ireland, and one from Asian Origin. A total of 33 bodies remain un unidentified.

Blues close in on Aleksandr Golovin deal
Joram Dymisster 7/18/2018 0
Aleksandr Sergeyevich Golovin is a Russian professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for CSKA Moscow and the Russian national team.
Born: May 30, 1996 (age 22 years), Kaltan, Russia
Full name: Aleksandr Sergeyevich Golovin
Current teams: PFC CSKA Moscow (Midfielder), Russia national football team (#13 / Midfielder)
That is the claim of Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, one of the first to suggest that the Blues were in talks to sign Jorginho last week.
The Blues welcomed the double arrival of ex-Napoli duo Maurizio Sarri and Jorginho in a joint £57million deal, stealing the latter from under the nose of rivals and Premier League champions Manchester City.
And Italian boss Sarri is apparently wasting no time in looking to stamp his mark on the Blues with former players Daniele Rugani and Gonzalo Higuain also heavily linked.
The west London club have meanwhile been touted to sign World Cup star Golovin after the midfielder impressed for Russia, who reached the quarter-finals and knocked out Spain.
The 22-year-old was one of the break-out stars of the tournament with one goal and two assists for the hosts.
The CSKA Moscow ace was also linked with Juventus, Arsenal and Monaco - the French club having submitted a bid earlier this week.
According to some reports, Juve have also had a £17.7m bid for the youngster turned down as a battle for Golovin's signature heats up.
But Romano has taken to Twitter to indicate that Chelsea are closing in on a deal despite interest elsewhere.
He said last night: "Chelsea are in advanced talks with CSKA Moscow for #Golovin #CFC #Chelsea #transfers."
