Archbishop Couto is instigating a political conspiracy to destablise Bharat – C.I. Issac
Posted on Jun 6, 2018 by VOI
What is the moral right of a parochial and authoritarian Catholic Church to call its believers to pray for secular and democratic principles in our country? – Prof C.I. Issac
Catholic Archbishop of Delhi Anil J. T. Couto, through a pastoral letter of May 8th—which was released on May 12th—calls its laity for prayer campaign—an undeclared civil war?—ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. No doubt, it is an ecclesiastical political melodrama. Anyhow, it should be taken seriously. Consider it as an early warning. His provocative call is for reciting of prayers as a political game until the next general election, with fast and performing of the Eucharistic adoration (Holy Mass) of the faithful of every parish, is not an ignorable move.
It is a calculated one and part of an international conspiracy against a nation and its people. Above all, it is an order to generate chaos and an insecurity in the nation as well as to defame the Hindu nation with a time-honoured tradition of democracy and peaceful coexistence of religions (upasana systems). The only available weapon of the Archbishop in the Indian specific situation has been unsheathed well through the "pastoral letter". He knows well the pastoral letter's power in the Indian scenario. This weapon was tested in Kerala successfully several times, including during the "liberation struggle" against the first democratically elected Communist ministry of Kerala during 1958. Even though the Indian Communists are suffering from amnesia, to the students of history it is a significant milestone in the annals of our history.
The Vatican is a 110 acre sovereign state which is ruled by an absolute monarch, the Pope. Catholic Church is the only religious organisation ruled by a hierarchical structure and has no relevance to democratic principles. This hierarchy is not answerable to any terrestrial authorities, especially in India. But they are being derogatory of the Indian democracy. While talking of India they forget the excesses committed through the Inquisition Court. The Church burned thousands of innocent children and women through the court. The people of Goa have a lot to say about the atrocities of the Church. Francis Xavier was the man solely responsible for the establishment of the Inquisition Court at Goa in 1560, under which Hindu women were raped and burnt alive and the Hindu temples were demolished. (Kanayalal M. Talreja, Holy Vedas and Holy Bible, New Delhi, 2000, p. 170).
So far the Church has not tendered an apology for this excess. Then what is right of the Church to talk about secularism? Is Vatican a secular country? If they are secularist why can't they invite other religion to Vatican? Why they are not allowing the construction of a mosque or Protestant church or synagogue or temple in Vatican? Are they truly secular? Then what is the locus standi of the Delhi Bishop's blame on the Indian democracy? No doubt, it is "his master's voice".
Then what is the moral right of the Church's call to its believers to pray for guiding our country in which the poor, tribal and Dalits are considered and respected with equal dignity.
This pastoral letter is prima facie against the spirit of Bible and teachings of Jesus. Jesus was against religious interference in the politics. Without any hesitation, he cleared this question, "Well, then, pay the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and pay God what belongs to God" (Mark 12:17). Catholic Church from the days of Rome's conversion to Christianity (325 CE) blatantly interfered in politics. Ecclesiastical interference resulted in the "struggle between empire and papacy". After the Italian unification, Pope lost his small name-sake kingdom. From 1861 to 1929 Papacy reduced to ecclesiastical status. For regaining the lost statehood of Vatican, Pope Pius XI opposed Communism and supported all cruelties of Benito Mussolini and his Fascism. Finally, on February 11, 1929, the Lateran (Palace) Treaty between the Holy See (Pope) and the Kingdom of Italy was signed by Benito Mussolini, prime minister of Italy, on behalf of King Victor Emmanuel III and by Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Gasparri for Pope Pius XI.
Hereafter, the Pope became a ruler as seen today. As a gratitude for it, later popes forced to be loyal to the dictators of the day. Pope Pius XII supported the butchering of six million Jews by Hitler and justified Hitler's invasion in Russia as a "gallant action in the defense of foundation of Christian culture." The Church justified this stand until 1998. Finally in 1998 the Vatican was forced to apologise to Israel for its eunuch policy towards Hitler's Jew hunting. (March 17, 1998, Washington Post).
Church and Dalits
Delhi Bishop's concern about Muslims, tribals, Dalits and the concern of equality are thought-provoking. Hence, he ignores the Church's approach towards Dalits, tribals in the Christian majority states of India. Untouchable churches are very popular in these areas. "Their churches had started out by encouraging converts from low castes, but after some time Syrian Christians could not stomach former untouchables sitting side by side with them on the same pews, and there had been a cleavage. Now, there were separate churches at some places, though converts were still admitted." (Nirmala Aravind, Video, a Fridge and a Bride (novel), p. 181).
Bishop's observation of Indian situation of a "turbulent political atmosphere which poses a threat to the democratic principles enshrined in our Constitution and the secular fabric of our nation" is a hypocritical one. His lamentation for the cause of Muslims is not sincere but intended to inflame communal turbulence. He is well aware of the condition of Christianity under the Muslim regimes from the medieval times onwards. But he is closing his eyes towards this reality in order to destabilise and balkanise mother India. Is he satisfied with the condition of Christians in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Middle East, Egypt, China or in the Protestant Countries? Are they better than Hindu India? The freedom to issue such pastoral letter is sufficient proof of the religious freedom guaranteed by all tolerant Hindus.
The image of the Catholic Church in general, particularly in India now-a-days, is at its lowest ebb. Sr. Jesme (52), Congregation of Mother Carmel Convent (CMC), Principal of St. Marys College quit her 30 years nun life in 2008 on the ground of licentious life of in the nunneries, harassment and mental torture. She was in distress out of the "licentious life of priests and nuns". (Sr. Jesme, Amen: The Autobiography of a Nun).
Paedophilia is the worst virus which hounds the Church all over the world. Pope Benedict XVI accepted this truth and confessed "shock to me and great sadness". Pope Francis started the trial of Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski (65), a Polish cleric on a charge of paedophilia. He was placed under house arrest. He was defrocked in June. He had abused minors during 2008-13. He was charged with two counts: sexual abuse of minors and possession of child pornography. The Christian Priests in India are not above this viciousness.
The vote-bank and money power of the Church bail them out of all sins of the priests and nuns. It is the exclusive Catholic tradition that priest in the Church should be chronic bachelors. Unfortunately, the sky is the limit of their licentious life. Check and balance system of the Church do not function effectively and they are not answerable either to laity or god or inside the hierarchy of the Church. If they are in need of money, they would fulfil their requirements by looting the laity. – Organiser, 28 May 2018

People should stand united to dislodge NDA Government: Church of South India Bishop Thomas Oommen – The New Indian Express – Kottayam – 8 April 2018
KOTTAYAM: Even as the BJP is trying woo the Christian communities to get a base in Kerala and Northeast states, the Church of South India (CSI) has taken strong exception to various policies of the NDA Government at the Centre, including its alleged pro-corporate and anti-poor policies, atrocities against Dalits and the tribals and the hard-line Hindutva agendas.
CSI Moderator Bishop Thomas K Oommen (csimkdbishopsoffice@yahoo.com), the supreme head of the church, has published an open letter to the people of the country, asking them to stand united to bring down the government.
The letter quoting Gandhiji's words on 'salt march' that "With this, I am shaking the foundations of the British Empire," appeared as a symbolic call against the NDA Government.
The CSI which is the second largest Christian denomination in India has a strong presence in South Indian states including Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
According to him, over the past few years, especially during the last four years, people are extremely alarmed at the way the nation is being ruled by the government at the Centre.
"As a citizen of India and as the head of an Indian Church, which belongs to a minority religion, with the majority of its members belonging to the minority communities, I hereby share the fear my people have under the rule of a government that has become a nightmare to the poor and the minorities in India," he said.
The bishop, who termed the government as a regime of 'right-wing fundamentalist forces', said the it has become a danger to the very fabric of the great Sovereign, Socialist, Secular and Democratic Republic. "The Central Government that follows the Hindutva supremacist ideology seems to have consciously discounted all the rights stated in the Preamble of the Constitution," he said.
"In nexus with the corporates and the multi-national companies, the poor are being plundered. The cry of millions of poor farmers to waive their loans off falls upon the deaf ears of a government that happily waives off loans owed by 50 rich people. The government policies like 'Demonetisation' and GST have ruthlessly affected the poor. There is no doubt that the government is pro-corporate and unkind to the poor," he said.
The head of the church said the chain of recent agitations indicated a new Dalit awakening and the CSI Church not only stands in solidarity with the Dalits fighting for justice and equality, but also condemns all atrocities against them. The Church also demanded the implementation of recommendations of the Ranganath Mishra Commission and the Sachar Committee for reservation to Dalits of Christian and Muslim minority communities.

The letter below has been to sent to the Archbishop of Goa (archbpgoa@gmail.com), Archbishop of Bombay (archdioceseofbombay@gmail.com), Archbishop of New Delhi (archbishopdelhi@gmail.com) and Archbishop of Mizoram (mzbhouse@rediffmail.com).
Your Graces,
It is now understood that the Church of Mizoram has objected to the recent appointment of a Governor on the ground that he is not a Christian.
This fact seen with other pronouncements by your clergy in other parts of India, leads to the inescapable conclusion and confirms the view that in the garb of expressing fake concerns about the status of minorities or the human rights, the Church is systematically creating and encouraging divisive tendencies in the country under a well-organised and motivated plan initiated by certain forces.
Suffice it to say that the pronouncements made by your Bishops in various parts are a strong indication of intentions. (It has also been asserted by some who are aware of the recent happenings in Tuticorin that some members of the Church may have had a hand in exacerbating the situation that developed there. At this stage, this is not confirmed but investigations may establish the true facts. Hopefully, this would not prove to be the case.)
It is once again respectfully requested that you may confine your activities to guide your followers in their spiritual quest without attempting to guide them in other direction.

Gum disease is a progressive disease, and it's important to stop it before it leads to even more serious problems, such as lost bone and tooth loss. However, treating gum disease generally won't restore your gums to the position they had before they began receding.
Gum disease occurs when oral bacteria begin to colonize the area around your teeth, penetrating into the pockets around your teeth. These bacteria consume sugars in your mouth and secrete acid that damages your gums, just as it damages your teeth and causes cavities.
In response to the presence of bacteria, your body sends its own cells to combat the bacteria. As long as the bacteria are at a controlled level, the immune response is well targeted. But if the bacteria level becomes high, the immune system kind of "freaks out." It pulls out the "big guns," so to speak, proteins that are highly damaging to all cells, including your own, resulting in the destruction of gum tissue, bones, and the ligaments that support your teeth.
In gum disease treatment, the goal is to clean out the bacteria and allow your body to get back to a more normal healing response. The pockets of bacteria are cleaned out. An antibacterial approach will be used. Lasers are sometimes used, or the direct application of antibiotics. Your tooth roots may also be textured to facilitate your gums reattaching after the bacteria are gone.
As your gums heal, they should reattach to your teeth, but they're unlikely to grow much beyond that. In some cases, they may even recede further after treatment.
Once your gums have gotten healthy again, it's time to consider making them look attractive again. Our nearly painless, nonsurgical receding gums treatment can restore your gums to their former position, giving you gums that aren't just healthy–they look healthy and attractive.

MangaHentai.me
go to MangaHentai.me
Manga Hentai is a free porn site with a name that doesn't fuck around at all, telling you exactly what you're getting before you see so much as a single pair of anime titties. As a man who's spent untold hours wondering what a Brazzer is and what xHamster's got to do with rodents, I appreciate the titular simplicity. Sometimes all you want is a nice marathon fap to some Japanese comics about big-eyed princess whores and demon sluts, and these guys give you a simple URL to aim your browser and your cock at.MangaHentai.me is a new contender in the online hentai scene. First making its public appearance in mid-February 2021, the site has continued to grow as steadily as the number of COVID-19 infections in the world. Hell, the graphs look practically the same; perhaps the site owes some of their popularity to social distancing. Thankfully, the 3,000+ daily visitors ain't drowning on their own lungs; they're just filling crusty gym socks with their own unborn babies.Hentai fans get a lot of flack for being smelly, friendless losers who spend all their money on perfumes for their body pillow waifus. Well, if mom gives you any more shit today about getting out of the basement and interacting with other humans, tell her you're kicking it with your buddies in the MangaHentai Discord. Regular porn sites struggle to get more interaction than "plz fuck me" comments below the videos, but these guys are growing a legit community of anime porn fans within months of starting up. When I checked in, there were nearly 3,000 members and over 150 online.Let's Beat Off to Manga Hentai and ManhwaAs far as layout is concerned, MangaHentai ain't going to win any awards. The setup is pretty basic, though they've taken the time to work up a samurai-headed logo that loosely fits the theme. If you're not using an adblocker, they're going to hit you pretty hard with fake IM spam, tranny banners, and animated hentai game ads that challenge you not to cum. Hey, getting off is exactly why I came here!The page cleans up a lot with an anti-spam plugin, leaving a nice selection of recent and popular manga to peruse. Each thumbnail has a user rating, quick links to the latest chapters, as well as a release date. Most are labeled with an ONGOING tag, letting you know the story is still unfolding and there's more to come. A lot of the front-page hentai is long-running, some already clocking in 50 chapters or more.Typically when I review hentai sites, I'm cranking it to Japanese hentai and doujinshi. As soon as I started browsing the selection at MangaHentai.me, I noticed they also include plenty of manhwa in their collection. For most perverts, manhwa is the same goddamn thing, but I know how some of you weeaboos like to split hairs about this shit. Manhwa is technically any Korean comics or cartoons, but the focus here is obviously going to be on the sexy kind.Hover over one of Manga Hentai's thumbnail of naked anime schoolgirls, kissing lesbians or big-titted manga MILFs and you'll get some more quick info about the piece. Stats include authors, artists, and genres, plus the first couple sentences of the summary blurb. The fields aren't always filled in completely, but there's usually enough to help you pick a good comic to beat off to.Holy Shit, That's a Lot of MangaHentaiMangaHentai.me is home to a quickly growing hentai library, with new content added frequently. The newest additions include a MILF romance in Undying Romance, a sexy kidnapping story in The Client, and a story about married women taking a swim class in Is It Okay To Get Wet? I'm a little excited about the thumbnail and blurb from Stepmother Friends, selling the sordid tale about a boy who discovers his young stepmother and friends doing kinky shit on the Internet.The front page has an infinite scroll of MangaHentai thumbnails instead of the usual page-by-page layout of other sites. The format has its perks, like quicker load times, but does make it harder to figure out just how much hentai is being hoarded at Manga Hentai. Clicking the Advanced button beneath the search icon gives you an alternate view with more sort/filter options and the total content count right there in hard numbers.As of this writing, there were 71,367 chapters or Manga Hentai in the collection. That'd be impressive enough if we were talking about a site that's been around a decade, but these guys have only been doing their thing for about 8 months. I'm not sure exactly how they're sourcing their material, but they've clearly got a good plug. This is exactly why I buy personal lubricant by the barrel.Dozens of Manga Hentai CategoriesIt's not uncommon to find a sprawling, unwieldy list of tags, genres or categories on a hentai page. I've seen sites that have whole Tag sections running for pages, with thousands of micro-genres like inverted nipple lactation and uncle bus molestation. MangaHentai.me streamlines the fuck out of their categories list, which has both benefits and drawbacks.Those of you who like a simple selection process might appreciate the streamlined hentai categories. They've narrowed it down to just a few dozen broad niches of drawn smut, which you'll find on almost every page of the site. It includes entries like BDSM, Big Ass and Cheating, and genres like Adventure, Horror, Mystery and School Life.Personally, I think MangaHentai's list is a little too streamlined. Besides Ecchi, you don't even see the major expected hentai categories like Cosplay and Futanari. The list itself is really clean-looking, too, avoiding common porn site tags like Lesbian, Blowjob, and Creampie. If you're the type of hentai viewer who runs straight to the Pregnancy section or Incest aisle, I've got bad news for you.They do have an Uncensored category, for those of you who hit CTRL+F as soon as you loaded up this review. As you're well aware, censorship is a major fucking problem in hentai manga, generally speaking, with most of the private parts covered up by black bars or otherwise obscured. The Uncensored section here is relatively slim, with only 59 chapters included, but I think there's actually a lot more uncensored material buried in the full collection.I hope the streamlined categories list is just a temporary thing and the formula is refined with time. I see new porn sites of all types neglecting their tags, and I think that neglect is often a byproduct of trying to rapidly build a collection from scratch. When you're working with this quantity of sci-fi porn hentai and kinky harem adventures, it's got to be a challenge finding the time and resources to tag them all with an autistic level of precision. Still, it would improve the site's searchability and browsability to give us more categories and tags.Loading Up Some Fresh Manga Hentai SmutMangaHentai.me doesn't have a fancy baked-in hentai reader like you'll find on other sites, instead opting to present each chapter as one continuous scroll. A couple of dropdown menus near the top let you skip chapters or switch the image server if you're having trouble loading the sex manga pages.Which brings me to my main complaint about the site. For most of my visit, every Korean comic about BBWs and Japanese story of MILF romance loaded without issue. Toward the end, the manga images stopped loading, presenting me with a page of image-missing icons. The dropdown menu for servers turned out to be useless since they only had one server listed.Shortly after that, the whole site started giving me problems. The pages wouldn't load completely, forcing me to try jerking off to a very stripped-down version of the site. Maybe I'm jaded, but I couldn't get off to a hentai site without pictures.Speaking as an online porn expert, it's pretty clear that these are just growing pains. The site has grown so rapidly over the last few months that they're currently struggling to keep up with the traffic. These issues are almost always temporary, as any decent site will adapt accordingly. By the time you read this, the pages should load without issue.MangaHentai.me's biggest strength is definitely that monster-sized hentai library they've already got on their hands after being online just a short time. If you've been looking for a new place to get your daily fix of manga girls getting into adult situations, take a look at what they're offering. It's free, it's current, and backed by a growing community of anime smut enthusiasts.

When I started my work in Positive Psychology, my original view was closest to Aristotle's - that everything we do is done in order to make us happy - but I actually detest the word happiness, which is so overused that it has become almost meaningless. It is an unworkable term for science, or for any practical goal such as education, therapy, public policy, or just changing your personal life. Moreover, the modern ear immediately hears "happy" to mean buoyant mood, merriment, good cheer, and smiling. "Happiness" historically is not closely tied to such hedonics - feeling cheerful or merry is a far cry from what Thomas Jefferson declared that we have the right to pursue - and it is an even further cry from my intentions for a positive psychology.
To understand what "happiness" is really about, the first step is to dissolve "happiness" into more workable terms. When I wrote Authentic Happiness a decade ago, I thought that happiness could be analyzed into three different elements that we choose for their own sakes: positive emotion, engagement, and meaning. Positive emotion refers to what we feel: pleasure, rapture, ecstasy, warmth, comfort, and other such emotions that contribute to the "pleasant life." Engagement is about flow: being one with the music, time stopping, and the loss of self-consciousness during an absorbing activity, experiences which contribute to the "engaged life." The third element is meaning. I go into flow while playing bridge, but after a long tournament, when I look in the mirror, I worry that I am fidgeting until I die. Human beings, ineluctably, want the "meaningful life": belonging to and serving something that you believe is bigger than you are. Happiness and life satisfaction, I thought, could be increased by building positive emotion, engagement, and a sense of meaning in life.
I no longer think that positive psychology is about happiness, or about a quest for increasing life satisfaction through positive emotion, engagement, and meaning. It turns out that how much life satisfaction people report is itself determined by how good we feel at the very moment we are asked the question. Averaged over many people, the mood you are in determines more than 70 percent of how much life satisfaction you report. If positive psychology is to be more than a "happiology" of cheerful mood, we need to shift our focus to well-being. I believe the gold standard for measuring well-being is flourishing, and that the goal of positive psychology is to increase flourishing. Flourishing rests on five pillars, each of which we value for its own sake, not merely as a means to some other end. Positive emotion, engagement, and meaning are three of the pillars, but they cannot do the "heavy lifting" of supporting human flourishing by themselves.
Accomplishment (or achievement) is often pursued for its own sake, even when it brings no positive emotion, no meaning, and nothing in the way of positive relationships. Here is what ultimately convinced me: I play a lot of serious duplicate bridge. I have played with and against many of the greatest players. Some expert bridge players play to improve, to solve problems, to be in flow, or to experience outright joy. Other experts play only to win. For them, losing is devastating no matter how well they played. Some will even cheat to win. It does not seem that winning for them reduces to positive emotion (many of the stonier experts deny feeling anything at all when they win and quickly rush on to the next game), nor does the pursuit reduce to engagement, since defeat nullifies the experience so easily. Nor is it about meaning; bridge is not about anything remotely larger than the self.
Winning only for winning's sake can also be seen in the pursuit of wealth. In contrast to philanthropic millionaires, there are "accumulators" who believe that the person who dies with the most toys wins. Their lives are built around winning, and they do not give away their toys except in the service of winning more toys. So well-being theory requires a third element: the "achieving life," dedicated to accomplishment for the sake of accomplishment.
Near the Portuguese island of Madeira, there lies a small island shaped like an enormous cylinder. At the top is a several-acre plateau on which are grown the most prized grapes that go into Madeira wine. On this plateau lives only one large animal: an ox whose job is to plow the field. There is only one way up to the top, a winding and narrow path. How in the world does a new ox get up there when the old ox dies? A baby ox is carried on the back of a worker up the mountain, where it spends the next forty years plowing the field alone. If you are moved by this story, ask yourself why.
Very little that is positive is solitary. When was the last time you laughed uproariously? The last time you felt indescribable joy? The last time you sensed profound meaning and purpose? The last time you felt enormously proud of an accomplishment? Even without knowing the particulars of these high points of your life, I know their form: all of them took place around other people. When asked what, in two words or fewer, positive psychology is about, Christopher Peterson, one of its founders, replies, "Other people." Other people is the best antidote to the downs of life and the single most reliable up.
Recent streams of argument about human evolution point to the importance of positive relationships in their own right and for their own sake. Studies of the big social brain, the hive emotions, and group selection persuade me that positive relationships - key to "the connected life" - are a basic element of well-being.
These elements, which we choose for their own sake in our efforts to flourish, are the rock-bottom fundamentals to human well-being. What is the good life? It is pleasant, engaged, meaningful, achieving, and connected.

Hamburg Completes Elbe Expansion to Accommodate Larger Ships
Deepwater Ports an Australian Infrastructure Priority
Published Feb 27, 2020 7:21 PM by The Maritime Executive
Infrastructure Australia has announced its Priority List for 2020 which includes the development of deepwater container port facilities.
Australia's independent infrastructure adviser noted the need for "a network of deep water ports" along the East Coast to accommodate large ships that are currently unable to visit due to port constraints, as a "priority initiative."
Infrastructure Australia is set to examine the issue, including understanding the challenge of channel deepening at existing ports, development of new port locations and enhanced landside access infrastructure at ports. It has also flagged the need to examine the option of developing "a container port facility that can accommodate the largest ships as a transhipment port for other destinations within Australia."
The Infrastructure Australia announcement follows detailed analysis by Houston Kemp Economists in 2019.
The inclusion of container port facilities on the list should come as music to the ears of internationally-trading businesses across the country, says Port of Newcastle CEO Craig Carmody. He says Infrastructure Australia has correctly identified a major deficiency in the nation's preparedness for ever-larger ships, noting problems on both the wharfside and the landside.
"The data is clear – shipping lines around the world have stopped building the ships that Australia's ports are designed to accommodate," Carmody said. "While Infrastructure Austraila correctly notes that no Australian port can accommodate the larger, more energy-efficient ships carrying more than 14,000 TEUs, it is also critical to examine the constraints to existing road and rail infrastructure in handling the nation's current and future trade volumes.
"Ports overseas are now handling ships of more than 20,000 TEU at a time when Australia's ports celebrate inefficiently accommodating a ship less than half that size, in some cases having to turn the ship around at the berth to reach containers stacked on the opposite side.
"For a nation that moves 98 percent of its international trade by sea, being unresponsive to these global trends leaves Australia's competitiveness and consumers disproportionately exposed."
Carmody said Port of Newcastle is ready to build a new two million TEUs container terminal, subject to the removal of a $100 per TEU penalty that currently applies. Newcastle is approximately 200 kilometers north of Sydney and has plans for a fully automated, electric terminal capable of handling ultra-large container vessels that could be operational by 2023.
However, the NSW Government privatized Port Botany and Port Kembla in May 2013, and Port Commitment Deeds signed at the time, for a term of 50 years, oblige the State of NSW to compensate the operators of Port Botany and Port Kembla if container traffic at the Port of Newcastle is above a minimal specified cap. Another 50-year deed, signed in May 2014 requires the Port of Newcastle to reimburse the State of NSW for any compensation paid to operators of Port Botany and Port Kembla under the Botany and Kembla Port Commitment Deeds. This essentially makes the development of a new container terminal at Newcastle uneconomic.
"We continue to pursue productive discussions with all levels of government to achieve an outcome that unlocks $2 billion of private investment in NSW and spawns the significant associated economic benefits for our state," Carmody said. "This is about Australia's international competitiveness and the future of the Hunter and NSW – it is too important to be politicized or caught in endless rounds of legal argy bargy. We need to get on with building this infrastructure to ensure Australia does not remain caught in an international competitiveness time-warp."
Infrastructure Australia has also listed a number of other port projects as a priority including:
Port Botany Freight Rail Duplication
The proposed initiative aims to upgrade the capacity of the Port Botany Rail Line by duplicating 2.9 kilometers of the line. The proposed initiative originally formed part of a broader strategy designed to drive growth in rail mode share for freight to and from the port.
Port Botany is one of Australia's most significant import/export terminals for containerized freight. The NSW Ports Master Plan (2015) estimated that container movements through the port would grow from 2.3 million TEUs in 2015 to between 7.5 million and 8.4 million TEUs by 2045. Part of the Port Botany Rail Line has only a single track. Additional demand arising from growth in import/export freight (in particular from the development of the Moorebank Intermodal Terminal) has the potential to create a bottleneck along this line.
Port of Brisbane dedicated freight rail connection
The 2015 Australian Infrastructure Audit identified that growth at the Port of Brisbane is likely to become constrained by the lack of a dedicated freight rail connection. The construction of a dedicated freight rail corridor would allow more freight movements to be removed from the road network, which
would help alleviate congestion.
Freight rail access to Port Kembla
The 2015 Australian Infrastructure Audit identified that Port Kembla would face capacity constraints in the absence of any additional rail network improvements. Maintaining efficient movement of freight to and from the port is a nationally significant challenge, states the report. Additionally, there is a need to improve the efficiency and reliability of freight rail movements between the Illawarra and Greater Sydney, particularly between Port Kembla and the intermodal terminals in Western Sydney.
Melbourne container terminal capacity and land transport access
The Port of Melbourne is Victoria's busiest port and the largest container and general cargo port in Australia. Container traffic at the port is projected to grow by 2.6 percent per year, from 2.9 million TEUs in 2018 to around nine million TEUs in 2050. The 2015 Australian Infrastructure Audit identified that, even with planned expansions, additional container terminal capacity will be required before 2031.
The development of additional container terminal capacity in Melbourne – with dedicated connections to the port, proposed metropolitan terminals, regional hubs and the national rail system – will help to alleviate congestion caused by road freight movements. Currently, only around 10 percent of the Port of Melbourne's container trade is moved by rail to and from importers and exporters.
Perth container terminal capacity and land transport access
Fremantle Port Inner Harbour handles most of Western Australia's container trade. Throughput at the current container terminal will be limited by urban development that constrains the road and rail connections into the port. In 2017–18, the port handled approximately 750,000 containers. This trade is expected to grow on average by 2.8 percent each year between 2017–18 and 2067–68. This growth could result in the current facility reaching capacity in around 15 years.
Additional container terminal facilities, located at either the current port site or at a new Outer Harbour site south of Fremantle at Kwinana, will need to be served by road and rail connections that provide capacity for growth over the economic life of the facilities.
The Port of Hamburg has completed and made available to ships an expansion of the waterway along the Elbe River connecting Hamburg to the North Sea at Cuxhaven. Port officials are calling the project a major enhancement to the port's capabilities, permitting it to handle larger vessels as well improve the management of ships along the river and enhance safety during the passage between the sea and the port. The dredging and widening of the river were undertaken in phases...

Q: How do I create a loop to iterate objects and display calculations of the objects from the array? I am new to Java and currently doing a small project to learn.
These are the requirements for the project:

*

*Create a class named Circle with a field named radius.

*

*Include default constructor

*Include a default constructor that sets the radius to 1 by default.

*Include another constructor that receives the radius and sets the radius to the value
received.

*Include a method that returns the area of the circle.
-Include another method that returns the circumference of the circle.

*Use the PI constant of the Math class for this calculation.

*Create a class named TestCircle whose main() method declares 5 Circle objs and stores them in an array

*

*5 circle objects will have different radius values

*Using a loop, iterate the objects and display areas and circumference of the objects from the array

*if the radius is one, display a message saying "This is a unit circle".

I managed to complete some of the requirements to the best of my ability but I don't know how to

Using a loop, iterate the objects and display areas and circumference of the objects from the array. If the radius is one, display a message saying "This is a unit circle".

class Circle {
    double radius;
    //constructor to default radius to 1
    public Circle() {
        this.radius = 1;
    }
    //constructor to receive values and set it as radius
    public Circle(double [] circlesRad) {
        this.radius = circlesRad[0];
    }

    public double computeArea(){
        return Math.PI * (radius * radius);
    }

    public double computeCircumference() {
        return Math.PI *2*radius;
    }
}

public class TestCircle {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Circle c1 = new Circle();
        double circlesRad[] = {1, 34, 56, 23, 93, 18};

        for (double rad : circlesRad) {
            System.out.println("Circle:"+"\nArea: "+ c1.computeArea()+"\nCircumference: "+ c1.computeCircumference());
            if (rad == 1){
                System.out.println("Circle:"+"\nArea: "+ c1.computeArea()+"\nCircumference: "+ c1.computeCircumference());
                System.out.println("This is a unit circle.");
            }
        }
    }
}

I know its very wrong, and I apologise.
Any help would be much appreciated.

A: Below is the code:-

class Circle {
    double radius;
    //constructor to default radius to 1
    public Circle() {
        this.radius = 1;
    }
    //you should consider this as just passing a radius value.
    public Circle(double circlesRad) {
        this.radius = circlesRad;
    }

    public double getRadius() {
        return radius;
    }

    public void setRadius(double radius) {
        this.radius = radius;
    }

    public double computeArea(){
        return Math.PI * (radius * radius);
    }

    public double computeCircumference() {
        return Math.PI *2*radius;
    }
}

public class TestCircle {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Circle[] circles = {new Circle(1), new Circle(34), new Circle(56),
        new Circle(23), new Circle(93), new Circle(18)};

        for (Circle circle : circles) {
            System.out.println("Circle:"+"\nArea: "+ circle.computeArea()+"\nCircumference: "+ circle.computeCircumference());
            if (circle.getRadius() == 1){
                System.out.println("This is a unit circle.");
            }
        }
    }
}

Clemons Named to Team USA Olympic Relay Squad
INDIANAPOLIS – Former Kansas sprinter Kyle Clemons is officially an Olympian after he was selected to the American 4×400-meter relay squad that will compete next month in Rio Team USA announced Monday afternoon. Clemons, who ran for the Jayhawks from 2010-13, is the fifth current or former member of the Kansas track & field team to earn a trip to the 2016 Olympic Games.
Clemons turned in a stellar showing in the 400 meters last week at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon. The Rowlett, Texas native ran a life-time best 44.79 seconds in the 400-meter prelims before claiming sixth in a time of 45.39 in the final on Sunday.
Still the KU school record holder in both the indoor and outdoor 400 meters, Clemons has established himself as one of the top American quarter-milers since turning professional three years ago. The two-time Big 12 Champion was the U.S. Indoor 400-meter champion in 2014 and has twice helped the American 4×400-meter relay to a gold medal at the 2014 and 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships.
Clemons and his American cohorts will hit the track for the first round of the 4×400-meter relay in Rio on Friday, Aug. 19.

Navy uniform project measures up
By just-style.com | 26 September 2000
Font size Email Print
For what is thought to be the first time in Europe, a company is making true made-to-measure by linking 3D body scanning direct to automatic pattern making, automatic marker making, and automatic cutting.
The British Royal Navy allows just two minutes to measure each recruit for a new uniform, and averages between 150 and 200 recruits in each intake.
Manufacturer Hobson and Sons took up the challenge to kit out all new officer cadets passing through HMS Britannia, the Dartmouth naval training base, with three sets of uniforms apiece - basic tailored, blue Barathea and mess. All are made-to-measure and, with the next intake of cadets, at least 95 per cent are likely to be produced automatically, from measurement through to cut pieces ready to be made up by small teams within the factory.
The officer cadet, male or female, steps into the mobile Telmat scanning unit and is scanned at the training centre in Dartmouth. The body measurement data is then sent via modem directly and automatically to the Gerber MTM (made-to-measure) system situated within the factory in Essex. Here, pattern pieces are adapted to the size of the cadet, and markers automatically produced and sent to the single ply Gerber cutter. The only human interventions are those manually introduced to verify the information and to check that the data files are secure and intact.
Three intakes of cadets have so far been measured in this way. The results coming out are now within an accuracy of +/-1 per cent, although a steep learning curve was necessary for both Hobson and Telmat.
Variations in body shape
Cadets starting at the college come from a variety of backgrounds. Many are recruited from universities where the daily regime is very different to the highly physical one undertaken during the first few weeks at Dartmouth.
The combination of exercise and survival training means that the cadet's body shapes and weights change considerably within a short period of time - up to a stone and a half has been lost in some cases, whilst others have put on a stone. So finding the best time to carry out the measurements has proved an interesting experience.
Measuring women has an added problem in that not only does their bust include cup as well as circumference size and shape, but these change during the monthly cycle - as do other parts of their bodies.
The type of underwear that is worn has also proved an important factor. Women, for example, need to put on the style of bra they would wear under the uniforms for which they are being fitted, though it should not be too lacy and must be a neutral colour for the scan to be effective. Breathing also affects the body shape, and to counteract this all cadets are asked to breath out when the scan is taken.
Extracting the measurement data and inputting it into the MTM system has also been an interesting exercise. The process has been developed jointly by Telmat and Gerber Technology.
The Navy's mess and ceremonial uniforms have to be far more exact than most high street made-to-measure. The arm length, for example, has to come to a precise point on the hand; and the leg length must meet a specific part of the shoe.
To develop the programs, each cadet was measured conventionally by a trained Hobson tailor and then by the scanner. Only where the measurements directly correlated were the body-scanned measurements automatically processed. Otherwise the details were manually entered into the Gerber system.
The measurements from the first intake were used as a means of providing data to see where changes and developments to the systems were needed. As Colin Lane, managing director of Hobson and Sons and the project leader explains: "The learning curve was also an internal one. To start with, we were looking at what we did and how the system could be made to do it our way, rather than looking to see what the system did and how we could get it to deliver what we wanted. It was a mindset that took us maybe four or five months to change. This was our biggest stumbling block.
"We saw the concept being exhibited at Clotech (the UK's triennial clothing machinery and technology exhibition) back in March 1999 and began the project during the latter part of last year. We saw it as a long-term project providing the ability to cope with a particular area of our market more competitively and cost-effectively, and have therefore been prepared to invest well into six figures.
"Telmat seemed to be the best system for our needs, the time element for scanning being the key. As existing Gerber customers used to using the Accumark system, it seemed logical to use the Gerber MTM and Gerber Cutting Edge single ply cutter, though we will be upgrading to a higher capacity cutter in the near future."
Tailor-made alterations
Hobsons used to provide the cadets with customised stock size uniforms. In other words, a set of standard sizes was used and then arms lengthened, legs shortened as necessary. To enable this customisation, tailors were used to measure each cadet.
The company therefore needed a team of highly skilled staff, but could see that the continuing reduction of traditional skills within the UK clothing industry was likely to lead to recruitment problems in the future. By automating the process, the need for much of this skill is considerably reduced. A further benefit has been a 25-30 per cent reduction in cutting costs, together with the production of much better fitting garments.
This project to provide a 'custom clothing service' is part of the DTI supported Foresight Link Programme. It has also been instrumental in setting up the Centre for 3D Electronic Commerce to pioneer the use of 3D human body metrics in sizing, manufacturing and retail.

I started my research and convinced, was about to buy it online. However, I thought I should try the shades and get a demo of its consistency. So last evening, I visited a beauty store and checked the product myself. Maybelline has also launched a Superstay foundation but I was not rushing to buy it. I finalised on the Fit Me foundation in the shade 130 Buff Beige. I have tried it twice so far, with and without a primer.
The packaging is decent. In fact, my assumptions about it being a coarse foundation were due to its packaging. The product comes in a glass bottle with a plastic cap. It does not have a pump dispenser so you need to literally pour the foundation in order to use it.
The application is flawless. The foundation doesn't glide but absorbs in your skin thus giving a smooth, soft, and flawless looking face. To apply, simply pour the foundation on the back of your palm and spread it all over your face and neck using a damp sponge. For best results, dab the sponge instead of stroking.
The consistency is liquidy. It blends amazingly well and gives a medium coverage. I tried it on my acne spot and the spot just faded, however, it wasn't invisible. The under the eye worked pretty well, if you have lighter dark circles, however, an additional layer of concealer is required.
The foundation looks like your own skin from afar. Only on taking a closer look can one notice the foundation.
I tried it on without a primer and it lasted pretty well from 1:30 pm to 7:30 pm. So you can say, the lasting is pretty good. Another thing, it did not crease near my smile lines, which is brilliant!
The Fit Me foundation fares well for a beginner or someone with a budget who is looking for a medium coverage. It can be used with or without a concealer and can be used as a base makeup for special occasions like festivals and parties. Since the foundation is matte, use some moisturiser beforehand for greater results.
In the above collage, I tried the foundation on a layer of moisturiser and sunscreen. I did not use a primer before or a compact/loose powder after the application. So whatever result you see is purely of the foundation.
I honestly wanted something that hides my acne spots better than what this one does. Also, I had heard some great reviews about it, however, it's not that up to the mark. But for a full coverage, when there are no acne spots, it's a good foundation. So if you're looking for something to brighten your skin and give an even tone throughout your face, this one's a wonderful choice.


How do you tell a compelling story about adopting a piece of software?
What can you do when you cannot name the people or brands involved?
What if your "brand stories" are so geeky that no one understands them except your own employees?
The workshop covers the why, how, and where of using story in business communications. We'll talk about using story to explain and illuminate, not just sell. We'll discuss the power of authentic brand stories, focused customer stories, and illustrative scenarios.
Together, we'll examine real examples of business-to-business communications, both good and ineffective. We'll look at the common mistakes in B2B stories and learn how to avoid them. And, you'll have the chance to workshop one of your own business pieces in the group.

Alberto Perduca: "To heal the wounds of the past"
At a EULEX press conference in Pristina, Alberto Perduca, Head of the EULEX Justice Component, called its current work a "reality in progress" compared to six months ago when the European Union mission began to operate amidst political uncertainty.
The venue was a press conference, held at the new EULEX HQ, focusing on the work and goals of the EULEX Justice Component. The two other participants were Maria-Giuliana Civinini, President of the Assembly of EULEX Judges, and Theo Jacobs, EULEX Chief Prosecutor.
The main tasks of the Justice Component are severalfold. EULEX legal experts work in the Ministry of Justice, forensic experts in the Office of Missing Persons and forensics (OMPF), others are in the Kosovo Property Agency. Numerous EULEX judges are also assigned to the Supreme and District Courts and EULEX prosecutors to the Office of the Public Prosecutor, Special Prosecutor's and District Prosecutor's Offices. EULEX staff is also working in the Penitentiary administration and Kosovo Judicial Council.
As of 2 June 2009, the Justice Component had a total of 321 staff, 194 internationals and 127 locals. In the future 40 more will join.
The EULEX mandate – to assist local institutions towards the consolidation of justice based on the principles of rule of law -- is the unifying concept bringing together all these functions. "We want to build a justice that reflects fundamental rights and to heal the wounds of the past," Mr. Perduca said. In order to attain this, EULEX Justice Component undertakes monitoring, mentoring and advising (MMA) and exercises its executive functions directly.
Regarding goals, the EULEX Justice Component "keep its eye on the present, past and future", Mr. Perduca said. The past is the legacy from UNMIK, namely war crimes cases. Again regarding the past, OMPF has to deal with 1,900 cases of missing persons and over 400 remains which still has to be identified, an activity being undertaken with local counterparts. "The families of the missing have the right to know the fate of their loved ones. Thus the Justice Component can help in the reconciliation process among the communities," Mr. Perduca said.
The challenge of the present is the fight against corruption and organized crime. The third goal is the issue of justice in the North. From the first day of the Mission's deployment, EULEX judges commenced their work in Mitrovica Courthouse. In a few months several decisions were delivered. "This was a very important first step. However, the presence of EULEX judges and prosecutors was not enough. The involvement of the judiciary of both communities is needed," Mr. Perduca said.
Ms. Maria Giuliana Civinini, President of the Assembly of EULEX Judges explained that EULEX judges are deployed Kosovo-wide in all District Courts and in the Supreme Court. They exercise MMA functions and judicial ones. The legal basis of judicial activities involves the adjudication and the rendering of decisions in criminal and civil cases. The mandate of the judges is based on the law which establishes competencies regarding war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and other grave crimes, as well as hate-oriented crimes, Ms. Civinini said.
The second characteristic of the EULEX Justice Component work involves sitting in mixed panels. The third is assuring full transparency of its work and establishing rules for case selection and allocation. Cases are assigned to judges based on transparent rules. The fourth characteristic is co-location which means EULEX and local judges work in the same building.
"All this constitutes the right path toward European best practices and towards the goal to build a judiciary that meet standards for entrance to the EU," she concluded.
Theo Jacobs, the Chief EULEX Prosecutor, said EULEX is here to ensure the establishment of the rule of law. EULEX Prosecutors are not working in parallel structures but within relevant judicial institutions. "We are here to reinforce local structures and to assist our local colleagues, not to replace them," Mr. Jacobs pointed out.
Currently, there are 17 EULEX prosecutors in Kosovo though the total should be 20 (due to rotation three were being replaced). At present, two prosecutors are working in the Office of the State Prosecutor; six in the Special Prosecutor's Office and 12 are working in Kosovo's 5 district courts.
EULEX Prosecutors handle three types of cases: firstly, those received from UNMIK, involving 275 ongoing cases, of which 60 relates to war crimes. Secondly, on 9 December 2008 when EULEX received executive powers it took over cases that began after 9 December 2009 and those that already existed prior to that date. Thirdly, EULEX Police took over 1,119 war crimes cases from UNMIK Police. "They were discovered at the moment of the handover," Jacobs explained. Currently 700 of these cases have been assessed; by end August 2009, the remaining 420 will have been evaluated.
Mr. Jacobs said that in the coming weeks EULEX prosecutors will be sending out letters to the victims whose cases had been dismissed for lack of evidence, no link to suspect had been established, or the guilty may be deceased. "This is a challenge for EULEX as we will have to disappoint people, "Jacobs said.
Another important goal of EULEX Prosecutors is to tackle organized crime. Memoranda of Understanding with neighbouring capitals to deal with organized crime have been signed. A few weeks ago an agreement was signed with the head of the Anti-Corruption Agency on mutual cooperation, he concluded.
During the Q & A session, journalists' queries touched a variety of legal topics: the issue of local ownership both in Kosovo and in Mitrovica; the accountability of EULEX judges; whether the EULEX Justice Component had had a case in which a local judge cited political interference; when Kosovo Serb judges would return to the Mitrovica Court; and which laws applied in North Mitrovica.
