2022 NHL Draft Guide
Canadiens' St. Louis Loves Learning the Details of Hockey [Video]
November 6, 2022 by Eugene Helfrick
When the Montreal Canadiens hired Martin St. Louis to be their interim head coach back in February, they did so knowing that he could be a boom or bust selection. While St. Louis had a Hall of Fame NHL career as a player, his coaching credentials weren't particularly deep at the time, as this opportunity was the first time that he would behind the bench as an NHL head coach. There was real chance that he would take over this role, look overwhelmed under the bright lights, and simply act as an interim until the Canadiens had the opportunity to find a more experienced person to take over in the summer.

Instead, St. Louis helped to bring a floundering Canadiens teams back to some semblance of respectability during the 2021-22 season. Sure they were still doomed to finish last in the NHL, but key young players like Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki once again started playing like stars, showcasing development that wasn't happening under prior leadership. Seeing this positive growth, Montreal took the interim tag off of St. Louis by signing him to a three-year extension, making him the 32nd head coach of the storied franchise

With a full offseason to prepare, St. Louis and the Canadiens hit the ice ready to play for the 2022-23 season. While they haven't been a dominant force, the young squad is showing signs of growth, leading them to a respectable record hovering around .500. Sure, this isn't a playoff-caliber pace, but it showcases a major step forward for the franchise compared to one year ago, and is a sign that Montreal is heading in the right direction under his leadership.
What Canadiens' St. Louis Loves About Coaching in the NHL
With his first full season behind the bench underway, St. Louis was recently asked what his favorite part of being an NHL head coach was. For anyone who followed his playing career, his answer was both predictable and exactly what you hope to hear from a new coach.
"…It's the second-best job behind playing," St. Louis said. "I think my favorite thing to do is to watch how the other team plays and try to figure out where the advantages are at. I really enjoyed that as a player and as a coach, with all of the video coaches and technology, you can really break that down pretty good."
Part of what made St. Louis such an effective player was his willingness to outwork his opponent in all aspects of the game, both on and off the ice, so it should come as no surprise that he is still bringing this mindset with him to his new role. He understands that games can be won or lost in the planning phases just as much as they can be won or lost on the ice. If you refuse to know your opponent, their strengths, and their weaknesses, then you will never be able to properly compete with them.
So, fans in Montreal should be happy to hear that St. Louis has retained his unwavering love of hockey in the transition from player to head coach. If these habits rub off on their young roster, then the franchise will be in a great place for years to come.

Bamptonians like to enjoy themselves and this has led to an array of events being held during the year - with all visitors welcome! Herewith in order of appearance are the main events – but there are others run by various clubs and societies in the Village details of which can be found elsewhere in this Website under 'What's On'. Also see the Photo Album for some interesting shots!
Held on the Saturday of the Spring Bank Holiday (formerly Whitsun) and run by 'The Society for the Preservation of Ancient Junketing' (SPAJERS). The rules are very simple in that a team of two dressed in night-shirts and with some means of transport which has to be propelled by one in the team while the other sits in the vehicle and is pushed runs a race through the village stopping at various strategic locations – notably the pubs – to down a measure of ale before continuing with the race. Various types of transport have been used from prams to wheelbarrows and wheelybins!
There's a race for children – refreshments are of course of the non-alcoholic variety much to chagrin of the children – an intermediate event, and a senior race - the latter two normally being combined into a single run. First prize is of course for the team that does the course in the shortest time, but most of the teams are just out to enjoy the day – and the ale. And there are also prizes for the best fancy dressed teams - and you should see some of the outfits worn!
Bampton has three world-renowned Morris Dance teams. On the Monday of the Spring Bank Holiday, the teams start the dancing at around 08.30, and continue through the day at various locations in the Village – including outside the pubs. The programme for the day's events can be obtained in or around The Market Square. In the evening, visiting teams join in the dancing, and 'make merry'. And do try the 'fertility cake', which is carried around the streets with the dancers.
St Mary's Flower Guild Annual Flower Festival takes place during the Spring Bank Holiday weekend in the Church. The Festival has a different theme each year and visitors are welcomed from the Saturday through to the Monday, with tea and home made cakes available on the Monday. Please come and take a break and enjoy the flowers. Money raised from the festival enables us to provide flowers for the church throughout the year.
The making of May Garlands by the children of the Village is a custom stretching back centuries. The showing and judging of the garlands takes place on the Monday of the Spring Bank Holiday, at 11am in the Market Square. To make May Garlands is very easy, but time consuming. All you need are two hoops which you cover with wild flowers. These wild flowers can be dandelions, buttercups, cow parsley – in fact anything which is easy to find. Tie them into small bunches and attach them to the hoops with string. Fix the two hoops together so they form a 'ball' shape. On top, fix a bunch of flowers - years ago the top posy had to be made up of red or pink peonies. Sit your favourite doll or teddy in the centre find a long stick or broom handle to hook it through and two people to carry it and you have yourself a Traditional May Garland.
Held on the Monday of the August Bank Holiday, and run by the SPAJERS, this takes place at Sandfords Field, starting at 2pm. Apart from the donkey races – where the jockeys are all children – there are stalls selling all sorts of bric-a-brac, and there's skittles, Aunt Sally, crockery smashing etc. A great day out!
The Bampton Gardening Club runs an annual show in August each year in the Village Hall. The show is always well supported, and the competition is fierce! Apart from the flowers and vegetables, there are also competitions for cakes, jams, pickles, and handicrafts.
Bampton is famous for its Traditional Morris dancing, but there is another tradition, The Bampton Mummers, that is not quite as famous, but certainly has created as much interest amongst writers of books on folklore, myths and mythology. In spite of all that has been written and researched, there is still a lot of doubt as to its origins and history, but these doubts have had the tendency to maintain the interest of people in the play. Different village Mummer plays will often have identical words. For instance, parts of the Blewbury play, are word for word the same as Bampton's, yet spoken by a completely different character in their play. There are many Mummer plays performed throughout the country; some have been revived after being in hibernation for decades or longer; some have been adopted from other villages or areas; but according to local knowledge, the traditional Bampton play can be traced back to at least the Nineteenth Century. It is quite possible that such plays are older still.
Up until the 1960s, the words were handed down by word of mouth, providing scope, one could presume, for adulteration. In 1970, however, an interesting thing happened which would seem to suggest that the words of the Bampton play - and perhaps therefore also the others - are in fact still the original ones used from when the play was first performed. Actors were in short supply, and the Company was desperately looking around for someone to play Father Christmas, when they managed to acquire the services of one Bobby Wells (son of the legendary Jingy Wells), who had last performed the Mummer play in 1938. Without referring to the script, Bobby used the exact same words that were in the script! Now then, this is not as unusual as it might seem, because it has long been established that, for instance, where poems and verse are handed down by word of mouth only, and not written down, and where the recipient is being strictly tutored by the person handing the words down, then the words are likely to be handed down over centuries without change. An example of this is the children's rhyme 'Eenie, meenie, minie, mo', still taught to English children by their parents, and which is a rhyme based on a counting system which certainly predates the Roman occupation of Britain!
But back to the Bampton Mummers!
The Bampton play has ten characters – with such characters as Father Christmas, Robin Hood, St. George, a 'doctor', and a Prussian King - and is performed in two acts, which researchers have shown is unique in itself, since other Mummer plays have only one act. The plot however, seems to be very close to the other plays performed elsewhere, with people being killed, but then revived by the 'doctor'. The acts of being killed and then being raised from the dead, may have something to do with pagan rituals of the past, and indeed could be an echo of real human sacrifice designed to ensure the return of the sun in times when the nights were longest. Alternatively, it could be linked simply to the death of the old year, and the birth of the new. But the truth is that the origins of the plays have been lost in the mists of time, although you never know when some archaeologist or historian might just uncover something to shed light on the mystery.
Until the late 1950s, the tradition was for the Mummers to visit the 'Big Houses' on Christmas Eve, and the Pubs - all eleven of them - on Boxing Day. Nowadays the Mummers only perform on Christmas Eve, combining the big houses and the pubs in one evening. All of the proceeds go to the local society known as the SPAJERS – see elsewhere on this Website. The day is a highly organised event, with the programme having to be strictly adhered to programme, so that all of the performances planned do in fact take place. And the play is well worth seeing, so make it a date in your diary: Christmas Eve, Bampton, to see the Mummers!

While tremendous sadness at the unexpected loss of a parent or loved one can be overwhelming, it isn't often the only emotion we experience. Picture: Pexels / Olya Kobruseva
What's so jolly about the festive season when some of us are dealing with grief?
By Sacha van Niekerk Dec 5, 2021
Grieving the loss of a loved one during the holiday season is extra difficult, as it's typically a time filled with joyous family reunions.
From wrapping presents for one less person to enjoying wholesome home-made meals with an empty seat at the table, when the family are all together for the holidays, the absence of a loved one's presence is often that much greater.
Sharing insight on the subject, counselling psychologist Rakhi Beekrum said that she is used to witnessing grief within her profession. "However, I have witnessed more grief in 2021 than I have in all my years of practice combined (that's 12 long years)."
There's also the matter of people who grieving their "old-selves" and are coming to terms with the loss of who they were as a person in pre-Covid times. "People are dealing with mourning the loss of 'normal' routines, missed celebrations, missed holidays, loss of employment, as well as financial losses," she said.
For Beekrum, understanding that grief is a process that needs to be worked through is one of the first steps towards navigating your journey towards healing. "Not allowing ourselves to process grief can exacerbate our negative emotions. If we avoid truly acknowledging our feelings, crying when we need to and allowing ourselves to feel the pain of the loss, the holidays will be much harder," she said.

While tremendous sadness at the unexpected loss of a parent or loved one can be overwhelming, it isn't often the only emotion we experience. There is sometimes a sense of guilt and shame that comes with experiencing something other than sadness that can make us feel worse.
Beekrum expressed that it's normal to experience multiple conflicting emotions at the same time. "It's possible to experience moments of joy even in the midst of grief. Happy moments with children, family and friends or while doing something that you love is not being insensitive to the deceased. We sometimes feel that we have to be sad all of the time when grieving. While it's normal to feel overwhelmed with sadness after a loss, as time goes on and we re-establish routines, the sadness comes in waves."
Beekrum also drew attention to the fact that every person grieves differently, and every person has different needs when grieving. She said: "While some might benefit from going away, others may not want to. While some may want to see family and friends, others may prefer being alone. Do not judge someone who grieves differently from you."
While grieving, take time to self reflect and to recognise that others do not know what you need or what would help you. Beekrum suggested opening up to people closest to you to help them understand where you are on your journey.
But, remember: "Even those with the best intentions may come across as insensitive, in the hope of making you feel better," said Beekrum. "Communicate what you need. It's okay to admit that you're still struggling if you are turning down an invite."
Ultimately, experiencing a loss is a reminder that life is impermanent. She said: "Therefore, those still in our lives will also not be here forever." Therefore, there is also a strong desire and need to make lasting memories with other loved ones.
"Special days are especially difficult when you are grieving. Decide in advance how you'd prefer to spend these days. There might be some traditions or rituals that you prefer to continue, or there might be some you'd like to amend. Even though such days are difficult, having a plan makes it somewhat easier. Yes, there will be sadness, but it will not have to be all day long," said Beekrum.
Tips for navigating the holiday season:
Process your grief on an ongoing basis, acknowledging the reality of the loss. Feel your feelings.
Plan ahead of time. Communicate your plans to those affected.
Decide what boundaries will be most helpful to you. What are you comfortable doing? Who are you comfortable spending time with? What invites are you comfortable accepting? There is no right answer.
Decide on which traditions to uphold, amend or skip altogether.
Be compassionate to yourself. Grief is hard, and the holidays are meant to be hard during grief.
If you are struggling to get through each day or re-establish some normal routines, seek professional help.

UL honours artist Brian O'Doherty
Home | News Centre | UL honours artist Brian O'Doherty
Wed, 26 Sep 2018
University of Limerick today (Wednesday, September 26, 2018 at 4pm) conferred artist Brian O'Doherty with an honorary doctorate in recognition of his contribution to national and international art.
An artist, novelist, critic and dramatist of international acclaim, Brian O'Doherty left Ireland in the 1950s after completing his medical degree. A native of County Roscommon, he made his home in Manhattan and went on to become a leading figure in the visual and literary arts. He was nominated for a Booker prize for his novel The Deposition of Father McCreevy and his paintings have been acknowledged in five retrospective exhibitions in Washington D.C., New York, Ohio, Derry and Dublin.
In 1972, Brian O'Doherty changed his name to Patrick Ireland, in response to the Bloody Sunday killing of thirteen unarmed citizens of Derry. Thirty-six years later, following the establishment of power sharing in Northern Ireland, a choreographed 'funeral' was held for Patrick Ireland at the Irish Museum of Modern Art.
UL's Dean of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Professor Helen Kelly Holmes, described the conferral as a great honour for University of Limerick.
"The Honorary Doctorate Conferring Ceremony gives us an opportunity to express our values as an institution as well as to bask in the reflected glory of a stellar individual. In this case, it's hard to imagine a more luminous candidate that Brian O'Doherty. His work is the embodiment of our institutional values - a nexus of scholarship, creativity, conscience and disruption at the intersection of many disciplines," she said.
"One of Brian's most distinguishing achievements as an artist has been to break out of his milieu and to wield his art in a meaningful political context. University of Limerick has always had a keen commitment to the world outside the campus, to the Limerick city community and county. We take seriously the political role of the university to inform enlightened policy, to rebalance educational inequality, to defend human rights and to stand up for progressive democracy and relentless inquiry in the face of autocracy and anti-intellectualism," she continued.
"Brian O'Doherty's fearless exploration of his subject matter over many years provides us with a shot of courage to keep challenging orthodoxy while honouring what the past has taught us," Professor Kelly Holmes added.
The citation, read by UCD's Professor Eoin O'Brien, stated: "We have before us a doctor, an artist, a writer, a philosopher, a personality who is best described by that much maligned term, polymath, who left Ireland to forge his art in the competitive environment of Manhattan, where he challenged the conventions of modernism to become one of the most respected leaders of postmodernist art."
University of Limerick president, Dr Des Fitzgerald, conferred upon Brian O'Doherty, the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters at the ceremony held in UL's historic Plassey House this afternoon.
Earlier in 2018, UL conferred honorary degrees on public health campaigner Vicky Phelan and internationally renowned engineer Professor Robert Langer.

Q: Segfault when calling gcm_encrypt_message with Brian Gladmans AES Code I took a search for archived messages on this issue but the existing issue doesn't seem to relate to mine as I'm using the correct cryptographic parameter lengths as far as I can tell.  Anyway my code is extremely simple but unfortunately I'm getting a segfault during encryption of a message, it occurs when the first xor_block_aligned method is called during message encryption.  I'm assuming that I have mis defined something as the code has not been modified in any way.
I'm using hard coded values for the Key, IV and Header as you can see below...
unsigned char* pChrIV = (unsigned char*)malloc(24);
memset(pChrIV, 1, 24);

unsigned char* pChrHeader = (unsigned char*)malloc(16);
memset(pChrHeader, 1, 16);

char* pChrMessage = "jfdk vklsdfasdfjdsajhfljasdfjhsdakjfkjhdsfsdliuhfhdsuihfausdhflhalsdjkhflaskdjfadjf nvkjsdnf kj nfdlkjnv lkjsdnf vkjndsf lkvjlkdfsj";

unsigned char* pChrTAG = (unsigned char*)malloc(16);
memset(pChrTAG, 0, 16);

unsigned char* pChrKey = (unsigned char*)malloc(16);
memset(pChrKey, 1, 16);

if(aes_init() == RETURN_GOOD)
    printf("AES Initialised!\r\n");

gcm_ctx ctx[1];
if(gcm_init_and_key(pChrKey, 16,
        ctx) == RETURN_GOOD)
    printf("GCM Initialised!\r\n");

    //It crashes here
gcm_encrypt_message(pChrIV, 24,
        pChrHeader, 16,
        pChrMessage, strlen(pChrMessage),
        pChrTAG, 16,
        ctx);

if(gcm_end(ctx) == RETURN_GOOD)
    printf("Ended!\r\n");

printf("Done!\r\n");

return(0);

I've tried changing Key and IV lengths, but the problem persists.
I'm compiling it in Eclipse in Ubuntu 10.4, using the GCC C compiler.
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?  Many thanks in advance!
Nick.

OUR BRAND IS CRISIS
Sandra Bullock Billy Bob Thornton Anthony Mackie Ann Dowd
Scoot McNairy Zoe Kazan Joaquim de Almeida
Crisis is the key word here in this picture showing the seamier (realistic?) side of politics. The setting is Bolivia where a race for president is going on, the screenplay (Peter Straughan) of which is inspired by a documentary (same title) directed by the talented Rachel Boynton (Big Men http://texasartfilm.com/bigmen.html) about a political race for president of Bolivia in 2002. Candidate Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozado hired an American political firm that consulted all over the world to run his campaign: Greenberg Carville Shrum. (That's Carville, as in James Carville.) Since I haven't seen the documentary, I don't know how much the movie reflects events in that work.
Our Brand is Crisis the movie begins with two political strategists, Nell (Dowd) and Ben (Mackie) driving through the snow to Jane Bodine's (Bullock) isolated cabin to talk her into joining their team in Bolivia. Hurt by political machinations in her work as a crack strategist in the past, she has developed new interests and a new life. Somehow, though, the thrill of a campaign is seductive, and she decides to join them.
Unfortunately, after arriving in Bolivia with altitude sickness and feeling rotten in general, she realizes that her prior nemesis Pat Candy (Thornton) is on the scene. Bad news. The movie takes a neutral stance about their past, so it is unclear who actually was responsible for the most heinous dirty tricks in previous campaigns, although, I think they want us to believe that it was Candy, who comes across as slimy as the snake in the Garden of Eden.
The campaign proceeds and the two teams end up going for the jugular. It is a fascinating (at least to me) look at how political campaign strategists think and reason. In Jane's case, she deftly sizes up the psychology of her candidate Castillo (de Almeida) and figures out how to turn his weaknesses into strengths—clearly going against the advice he is currently receiving from his own consultant and the American team. In view of this perceptive cogency, the filmmakers' showing her clumsy and neurotic for comic effect was silly and an unnecessary distraction. They should have dispensed with the "comedy" altogether and gone for dramatic effect and political illumination.
Although we learn how the election turns out, the film ends with an ambiguity that I see as a strength. Beneath Jane's many "masks" (alternately crazy, tender, calculating, insightful, and—above all—perceptive), she is a thoughtful and sincere woman with convictions who will continually surprise.
We know Sandra Bullock is a phenomenal actor, and I think she portrayed this character to a T. Such a talent actor can make the character come alive so forcefully you forget the actor. She was strongest in this film when Candy is speaking to her in a taunting, seductive, goading manner and she simply stares into space (and you know exactly what she is thinking) or—in contrast—when she forcefully confronts her team or the candidate with hard truths; or at the end when she is mulling over in her mind the comments of the young campaign worker and all that has just transpired. Billy Bob Thornton is masterful in portraying a truly evil person, all while talking in the most civil and seductive manner. His idea of coming into the filming looking exactly like James Carville was a brilliant move.
David Gordon Green does the quiet, personally revolutionary films that I am inevitably drawn to (e.g., Prince Avalanche, George Washington). I imagine he smiles as he thinks about the issues he has brought up in Our Brand is Crisis that will spark controversy and differences of opinion. In discussions about this film, I expect many will have strong opinions about political consultants, political processes (particularly elections), and the marketing of candidates.
An insightful look at the underside of political campaigns.

AKRON, Ohio - The city of Akron and Summit County are attempting to draw manufacturing and other industry back to the city with the opening of the Firestone Business Park.
Government officials and business partners broke ground Thursday on the first phase of a the 20-acre park, on the site of the former Firestone Tire Company headquarters.
"This project illustrates the best of what can happen with intentional and effective public-private partnerships," County Executive Ilene Shapiro said at the ceremony.
The land is owned by the city of Akron and APV Engineered Coatings, which will join Pleasant Valley Corp. of Medina and Summit County in developing the park.
Development of roads, sewers, electrical infrastructure, and other improvements is estimated to cost $4.2 million.
The city of Akron was awarded $1 million in state capital and transportation-improvement funds for the business park. The remaining costs will be paid through property assessments and the business partners.
To prepare the park's roads, Summit County has spent $250,000 in state Transportation Improvement District funds. The county recently developed the nearby Russell M. Pry Building in Firestone's Triangle Building, and Bridgestone Americas' Technical Center.
"Without the investment the county has made in this neighborhood, we would not be standing here," Akron Chief of Staff James Hardy said during the groundbreaking.
In the business park, the county also plans to build a 50,000-square-foot operations facility on five acres to house its Sanitary Sewer Services Department. The facility will enable the county to consolidate several existing locations, bringing county workers and equipment under one roof.
APV opened in Akron in 1878 and has operated a facility at the site of the park since 1912. Dave Vanarge, who owns APV with his son, Tom Vanarge, said he has anticipated the park since 1991, when he bought seven additional lots in Firestone Park.
Pleasant Valley Corporation, a real estate, construction and facility management company, plans to build a 85,000-square-foot warehouse and manufacturing facility in the business park, said Pleasant Valley CEO Gino Faciana. The facility is anticipated to bring new jobs to the area, he said.
Hardy praised the investments by APV and Pleasant Valley.
"That is going to be a signal to the rest of the market that Firestone Park is open for business and has been open for business," he said.
FirstEnergy Corp. is nearly done installing new utility poles to reroute electric between Cole and Emerling Avenues, and provide electric service to the new parcels.
The city is set to begin constructing the main entrance to the park, the Cole Avenue Extension Roadway. Work on water, sewer, curbs and gutters is also about to begin.
Companies interested in building light industrial or manufacturing businesses in Akron can call the city's Integrated Development office at 330-375-2133.

Sony files patent for a 'SmartWig'
Written by Charlotte Kertrestel on 27th November 2013
We've heard of smartwatches, 4G wellies and even technologically enhanced dresses, but Sony is planning to take wearable technology to another level entirely.
The Japanese firm has filed a patent for the SmartWig, a wig which will be made from horse hair, human hair, or a number of other synthetic materials, which can be used to perform various functions similarly to a smartphone.
For example, Sony suggested that the wig could be used as a navigational tool for blind people by sending vibrations through the user's head. It will also be able to monitor other matrices including blood pressure, temperature and pulse rate.
The wig might also be capable of controlling work presentations by raising the user's eyebrows.
Speaking to the BBC, Sony said: "The usage of a wig has several advantages that, compared to known wearable computing devices, include a significantly increased user comfort and an improved handling of the wearable computing device."
The spokesperson then went on to add that the SmartWig could be seen as a "technically intelligent item and fashion item at the same time".
Although Sony hasn't decided how or whether it will commercialise the SmartWig, it's clear that there will be plenty more to come from wearable technology in the near future.
Weird Wearable Technology
What do you think of wearable technology? Is Sony taking things too far? Let us know by writing a comment below, or joining the debate via Facebook, Twitter and Google+.

School Cop Busted by Fellow Officers in Child Sex Sting, Attempting to Lure Underage Girl for Sex
BREAKING: US Court Rules Child Sex Assault Case Can Proceed Against UK's Prince Andrew
As Wayfair Conspiracy Distracted, US Gov't Gave $200 Million to Churches Paying for Child Raping Priests
Matt Agorist July 14, 2020
Over the past week, a conspiracy theory about Wayfair selling children in cabinets took the internet by storm. Sadly, without giving it much thought, people took this unfounded claim and ran with it — distracting from actual, provable conspiracies. Selling expensive cabinets and shower curtains online does not mean one is trafficking children. What's more, with the dark web available, who in their right mind would openly sell children — to the public — on the internet in storage cabinets. There is definitely something fishy going on with the $10,000 shower curtains — but it probably has more to do with a money laundering scheme, an internet joke by someone inside Wayfair, or something else besides openly selling children online. In the meantime, as Wayfair filled the digital airwaves, your taxpayer dollars went to bailing out churches, dozens of which covered up real and provable child sex abuse for decades, and barely anyone noticed.
Despite being tax exempt — meaning they are not required to pay the same taxes other businesses must — the Catholic church has received more than $1.4 billion in taxpayer-backed coronavirus aid. According to a scathing report out of the Associated Press, the total payout could be as high as $3.5 billion, making this tax exempt organization one of the largest recipients in the country of the taxpayer-funded pandemic bail out.
Adding to the already corrupt nature of a tax-exempt organization received billions in taxpayer funds is the fact that according to the analysis of federal data, hundreds of millions of dollars are "going to dioceses that have paid huge settlements or sought bankruptcy protection because of clergy sexual abuse cover-ups."
Because they do not pay taxes, institutions of faith are not usually eligible for programs such as these. However, the Catholic Church's lobbying efforts were unprecedented, according to the report. They lobbied for an exemption to federal rules and amassed what could amount to nearly 4 billion dollars.
Typically, because the church has over 500 employees, they are disqualified from applying for this SBA bailout. However, as small businesses failed to receive minuscule loans for tens of thousands of dollars to keep their doors open, one of the richest organizations in the world persuaded this administration to grant them a waiver for the 500 employee cap.
"The government grants special dispensation, and that creates a kind of structural favoritism," said Micah Schwartzman, a University of Virginia law professor specializing in constitutional issues and religion who has studied the Paycheck Protection Program. "And that favoritism was worth billions of dollars."
The report found that extremely rich dioceses, who have recently built churches that cost $70 million, received funds. Others, like the diocese covering Wheeling-Charleston, West Virginia — where an investigation found that then-Bishop Michael Bransfield embezzled funds and made sexual advances toward young priests — received millions.
But that's not the worst of it. Dozens of dioceses who have paid out hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements for decades of child rape — some going into bankruptcy over it — received over $200 million in taxpayer funds.
As the church again reckoned with its longtime crisis, abuse reports tripled during the year ending June 2019 to a total of nearly 4,500 nationally. Meanwhile, dioceses and religious orders shelled out $282 million that year — up from $106 million just five years earlier. Most of that went to settlements, in addition to legal fees and support for offending clergy.
Loan recipients included about 40 dioceses that have spent hundreds of millions of dollars in the past few years paying victims through compensation funds or bankruptcy proceedings. AP's review found that these dioceses were approved for about $200 million, though the value is likely much higher.
But it gets worse. The Saint Luke Institute, which is the Catholic treatment center for priests accused of sexual abuse received upwards of a million dollars. This "institute" is essentially a holding station for child raping priests, many of whom are put right back out into churches and abuse again.
Taxpayer dollars are literally funding child raping priests and it is shameful.
The child sex abuse scandal in the Catholic church erupted in 2018 in Pennsylvania and quickly reverberated throughout the world. Some of those dioceses in Pennsylvania and other states are on the receiving end of these taxpayer funds — despite a damning grand jury report that revealed widespread child sex abuse that had been covered up by the church's top brass.
Many have been wondering how it was allowed to go on for so long without anyone getting charged or arrested. It appears that we have the answer—the separation of church and state is a farce and the state has no problem stealing money from the citizens and doling it out to organizations who protected child rapists for decades.
This should come as no surprise given the fact that police were also complicit in the cover-up.
"Priests were raping little boys and girls, and the men of God who were responsible for them not only did nothing; they hid it all," according to the report of the Pennsylvania grand jury. And police went along with it.
During a grand jury report into the child sex abuse by priests in Pennsylvania in 2018, the state Attorney General, Josh Shapiro provided insight into how priests were allowed to go on for decades preying on children. He singled out the two groups responsible for covering up the crimes of the church.
One of the groups named by the AG was the Catholic Church hierarchy like the archbishops and cardinals who reacted to allegations of child rape by simply transferring the priest to a new church or failing to act at all. The other group Shapiro named was law enforcement, who he says acted in tandem with the abusive priests to keep their horrific habits from ever reaching the public eye.
"The abuse scarred every diocese," he said. "The cover-up was sophisticated. The church protected the institution at all costs."
It should be noted that not all Catholic institutions sought to suckle from the taxpayer teat. According to the AP, the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy based in Stamford, Connecticut, told AP that even though its parishes experienced a decline in donations, none of the organizations in its five-state territory submitted applications.

While architects in the Northern Hemisphere have been appropriately fixated on manipulating southern orientations of buildings in pursuit of climate-responsive architecture, those "Down Under" have been giving the same attention to north-facing facades.
In the new Business School for Auckland University of Technology (AUT) in New Zealand, the architecture firm JASMAX has designed a northwest facade that puts on a visual show in response to the daily sun path.
The histories of fine wine and of fine winery architecture have intertwined over the centuries. The design of the winery building can be central to the quality of the wine produced as well as to the winemaker's marketing image. In addition, as a new Canadian winery demonstrates, a good design can reduce energy consumption and waste during production.


I've got a quick question to you folks. A friend of mine recently gave me his manual downrigger which he did not need. It's in good condition, yet somehow he broke the tilt-up bracket. So I was wondering, maybe there is a way to replace it with something compatible? I've got no idea where I can buy one separately, as Scotty does not ship the holders separately, and noone sells one on ebay... Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks.
Internet wise try fish307.com they use to repair and have many parts for downriggers.
Thanks for the link, I will contact them tonight. As I've searched ebay, amazon and googled some forums classfiends with 0 luck.
can you not just go to scotty.com and go to support and click on contact them and see if they will sell you the parts you need?

When's the best time to become a full-time entrepreneur?
By Tom Jackson on March 29, 2017 East Africa, Features, North Africa, Southern Africa, West Africa
For most entrepreneurs, the research period for their startup involves essentially beginning their business journey whilst they are still employed full-time.
This is according to Jeremy Lang, regional general manager at South African risk finance firm Business Partners, who says most aspiring entrepreneurs cannot afford to quit their job and focus solely on their business until sufficient groundwork has been covered and a steady inflow of capital has been secured.
Turbulent economic climates do not make it easy for aspiring entrepreneurs to take the leap into full-time business ownership, which results in many entrepreneurs beginning work on their startups while still employed by somebody else.
"The starting phase of a business can be a tricky act to balance, but aspiring entrepreneurs should be disciplined enough to work on their own business after hours," Lang says.
"Although receiving a steady employee salary while researching and preparing the ground work of another business is ideal, aspiring entrepreneurs should be careful not to abuse company time and resources."
He says when entering a tough, competitive environment, a business must have something different and special in order to have a fair chance at success.
"For those individuals who find themselves in the self-debating phase, of whether or not to take the leap into full-time entrepreneurship, it is important to consider all the necessary factors, and whether it is the right time," says Lang.
Here are five factors he says entrepreneurs should consider when taking the leap from their full-time job to start a new business.
Focus on what is known
"When considering a new business, entrepreneurs should focus on a market and industry they already know, as this experience and insight will assist in identifying business opportunities. With that said, there should also be a balance between passion and understanding of an industry."
Research is key
"This is a fundamental step when starting a new business, especially when moving from part-time to full-time. It is essential to fully understand the risks and opportunities the business may face in future which could potentially impact revenue and the entrepreneur's livelihood."
Consider market size
"It is crucial to consider the size of market which the business will enter as this will ascertain how best to structure the business and the resources needed. For instance, would it be a full- or part-time business – if the latter, it may be worthwhile to remain employed part-time while growing the business."
Look for new opportunities
"As the world constantly changes, new opportunities and new markets arise at the same pace. Changes in buying patterns, consumer preferences, new technology trends and developments all influence the apparition of new opportunities in the market, and entrepreneurs should constantly be on the lookout for how to adapt their businesses to meet new demands."
Take the leap
"Ultimately, there will never be the perfect time to leap into full-time business ownership. During the final planning phase, when considering whether to take the leap, entrepreneurs should re-assess whether all their preparation steps have been adequately followed and whether they no longer feel the need for the salary safety-net."
According to Lang, there is a fine line between starting too early, and starting too late.
"Too early can place unnecessary pressure on both the business and entrepreneur; but conversely, too late can lead to no decision at all with the business never taking off," he says.
"In the end, with the right amount of research, careful planning and execution, the entrepreneur has to trust their passion and follow their dreams."

Senators pass bill on Liberation carnival gambling rules, 10-to-5
Haidee Eugenio Gilbert
Bringing back bingo, blackjack, poker and other casino-style gambling at this year's 75th Liberation Day carnival is just a governor's signature away.
On Wednesday, senators passed a bill to adopt rules for carnival games of chance. They voted 10-to-5 to pass Sen. Jose "Pedo" Terlaje's Bill 101.

More:From more events to Pia Mia: Guam's 75th Liberation promises to be big and bold
The bill is now on its way to the governor's desk, barely a month before the carnival opens on June 5.
The aye votes were:
Wil Castro;
Kelly Marsh;
James Moylan;
Louise Muña;
Clynt Ridgell;
Joe San Agustin;
Amanda Shelton;
Telo Taitague;
Jose Terlaje;
and Speaker Tina Muña Barnes.
The nay votes:
Vice Speaker Telena Nelson;
Sabina Perez;
Therese Terlaje;
Régine Biscoe Lee; and
Mary Torres.
After the bill was sent to the voting file at 6:12 p.m., Taitague made a motion to vote on the bill without engrossment and the bill passed.
'Gambling is illegal'
Before the main vote, senators got into a lengthy debate about gambling in general. Gambling is illegal under Guam law.
Jose Terlaje and other senators supporting games of chance said the bill's intent is to adopt rules that will allow limited casino-style gambling only for 60 days and only at the carnival grounds, to cover the costs of Liberation festivities.
"We're not asking for a permanent casino gambling," Terlaje said.
Nelson opposed the bill, saying all types of gambling is illegal.
Torres reiterated her concerns that the Legislature shouldn't have allowed for the promulgation of rules for an illegal activity, which is gambling.
"This is precisely what I was talking about the last time. I was talking about how awkward and inappropriate it was for us to promulgate rules and regs for an illegal activity on Guam per Guam law," she said, adding that senators essentially put the cart before the bull.
'House of Cards'
Senators adopted floor amendments that they said would ensure that casino-style gambling in the so-called "House of Cards" will be off-limits to people under the age of 21.
Under the bill, House of Cards is a restricted, enclosed area where the following games are limited:
poker, including but not limited to Texas Hold'em;
pusoy;
baccarat;
blackjack; and
monte.
Games in the House of Cards can only accept official chips from players, and no cash or currency is allowed, the bill says.
The other games of chance allowed are bingo, color game and big and small, and games requiring skills.
The other floor amendments, senators said, will ensure transparency and accountability, uphold procurement laws and make the carnival grounds safe and secure.
Mayors, along with the Office of the Attorney General and the Department of Revenue and Taxation, drafted the rules and sent to the Legislature for approval.
Bill 101 also says that any games of chance shall operate on Mondays to Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 12 a.m.; on Fridays from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m.; on Saturdays from 12 p.m. to 2 a.m.; and on Sundays from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m.
Saturday hours shall be in effect for any night prior to or on an official federal or Guam holiday during the time period authorized, the bill says.
Up to $5,000 deposit
The final version of the bill requires $5,000 refundable cleaning deposit fee for House of Cards vendors; $2,500 for big & small, color game and beto beto vendors; $500 for food, confectionaries, drinks, amusement rides, live animal displays; $200 for games of skill; and $100 for miscellaneous vendors.
The prior version of the bill required a cleaning deposit fee of $200.
Mayors' Council of Guam Executive Director Angel Sablan on Monday told senators that raising the amount of the cleaning fee and making it refundable will serve as an incentive for vendors to make sure their areas are clean so they can get their deposit back.
Time ticking
Mayors, who are in charge of most Liberation activities, hope the passing of the games of chance rules bill will draw more participation from other types of vendors, such as those interested in selling food or providing kiddie rides or games.
Mayors also hope the bids for games of chance alone will yield $580,000, so it can cover the expenses for the Liberation carnival, fireworks, entertainment, utilities, parade and even portable toilets.
The final version of the bill maintains the minimum bid of $250,000 for House of Cards games for each vendor. Only up to two House of Cards vendors are allowed.

Within 60 days of the conclusion of the carnival, Rev and Tax is required to submit to the governor and the Office of Public Accountability a report that contains the number of vendor licenses issued, aggregate amount of licensee fees collected, and total amount of business privilege taxes and other taxes collected, among other things.
The Mayors' Council is also subject to an audit by the Office of Public Accountability within 30 days of the carnival's completion.
After covering expenses related to Liberation festivities, the remainder of the games of chance proceeds will go to Rev and Tax to cover operational costs during the carnival, the Mayors' Council and the first gentleman's choice of a worthy public cause.

Geoff Eales and Andy Findon are two of the UK's most inspirational and eclectic musicians and nowhere is this better exemplified than on their new album "The Dancing Flute" which features thirteen compositions by Geoff.

"The Dancing Flute", featuring compositions by Geoff Eales, is a celebration of the life-enhancing qualities of the dance. You will hear vibrant Eastern European rhythms, tango, rhumba, flamenco and American swing. There are also nods in the direction of Irish folk music and the Orient. The influences on Geoff's compositional style are many and varied, Debussy, Ravel, Bartok, Stravinsky and Messiaen amongst his primary influences, though the jazz element is never far away.
Geoff Eales is a Ph. D graduate from Cardiff University where he studied composition under Professor Alun Hoddinott and piano with Martin Jones. His compositions include a symphony, piano concerto and numerous chamber works.
"…this new disc from multi-instrumentalist Andy Findon and pianist Geoff Eales creates an enjoyable fusion of classical and popular styles. From the outset, the high recording quality is evident, with the rich piano sound evenly balanced against Findon's flute." (Carla Rees/Pan Magazine/March 2013)
Andy Findon and Geoff Eales are thrilled to be celebrating the release of their stunning new album at The Forge www.forgevenue.org, one of London's premier music venues, on Thursday 18th April 2013 at 7.30pm. At this event, Andy will be playing a variety of flutes including alto flute, bass flute, piccolo and penny-whistle as well as one or two instruments of a distinctly ethnic nature. Press tickets are available from john@musicandmediaconsulting.com
In their regular concerts, Geoff and Andy play a broad range of music, Geoff's compositions interspersed with works by composers as diverse as Bartok, Fauré, Enesco, Debussy, Michael Nyman, Bill Evans and Chick Corea.
After leaving university, Geoff Eales located to London where he very quickly immersed himself in the metropolis' thriving session scene. Before long, he became one of the most sought-after studio pianists, working with a vast array of musical luminaries including Andrew Lloyd Webber, Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin and Elmer Bernstein. Geoff is also regarded as one of the UK's most formidable jazz pianists. He has ten highly acclaimed albums to his name and has graced the stages of many of the world's leading jazz festivals, clubs and concert halls such as Belgrade, Zagreb, Cork, Brecon, New York's Birdland, Los Angeles' Jazz Factory, the Blue Note Clubs of Japan and London's Ronnie Scott's and Royal Festival Hall.
Further information can be found at www.geoffeales.com
"As original as they come, listening to everyone but beholden to no single influence, Eales demands your attention with the force of his musical personality and keeps it with his musicianship" – Budd Kopman (Cadence USA)
Geoff is also pleased to announce the release of his first live recording "Free Flow" on the 33Xtreme imprint later this spring – it is a freewheeling improvised set in collaboration with Ben Waghorn (saxes & bass clarinet) and Ashley John Long (double bass).
As well as being an outstanding classical flautist, Andy Findon is one of the world's leading exponents of the ethnic flute, his playing features on hundreds of films, records, adverts and TV shows. However, his musical activities are not confined to the flute. He has played baritone saxophone and flutes in the Michael Nyman Band since 1980 and is a member of the award-winning folk band "The Home Service".

TANJONG KARANG, Apr 15 – Selangor Barisan Nasional (BN) has promised to return the remaining 404ha of land to settlers in Ijok, Kuala Selangor should the coalition manage to wrest the state in the 14th General Election (GE14).
Permatang state assemblyman Datuk Sulaiman Razak said the Selangor BN would look at every aspect of the law to enable the settlers to regain their land which they claimed had been seized by the state government.
"I was informed that the land is now worth approximately RM750 million … If we (BN) take over the administration (in Selangor) we will look at all legal aspects. If there is still a room to return the land to the settlers from the legal point of view, we will do so," he said.
Sulaiman told this to reporters after attending a briefing over the disputed land to about 100 settlers here today. The briefing was presented by lawyer Datuk Kamarudin Ahmad, who is also representing the settlers. Commenting further, Sulaiman urged any settlers whose land had been involved in the dispute to come forward to exercise their rights.
"We want all of them to unite and unanimously agree to take this issue to court. The case will be strong enough to be heard in the court if more people (come forward). If there is evidence of the land being taken by the state government, please present the proof," he said.

All of your selections are opened and inspected prior to being delivered and often times, your designer will meet you at the delivery, making sure everything is put into place. They'll even bring extra touches to enhance your final design even further!
Reason nine: Personal design service.
One of the benefits of purchasing at Fringe is our personal design service. You deserve what you want, the way you want it…and we're here to make that happen. We can advise on paint colors, space planning and the perfect pieces that will complete your design. We will even come to your home to make sure the items you are interested in fit correctly in your space as well as fitting your needs and lifestyle.
Reason ten: Support local business.
Shopping local supports local job growth and ultimately builds strong communities. Small businesses select their own products based on their own interests and the needs of local customers, guaranteeing you a much broader range of distinctive, one-of-a-kind products.
Developing a relationship with an interior designer can seem intimidating, but it's not here at Fringe!
We are here to answer all of your design questions, help you feel comfortable with your selections and ultimately, bring your vision to life...all in a relaxed, casual atmosphere.
