Pacific National is proposing to build a new intermodal freight hub in St Marys that will be operated by third party logistics provider ACFS Port Logistics.
The St Marys Freight Hub will drive more containerised freight on to rail ramping up to 300,000 total TEU movements per year and taking between 70,000 and 80,000 trucks off the New South Wales road network – reducing the distance travelled by trucks on congested public roads by approximately 14,200 kilometers per day, or 5.1 million kilometers a year.
The new freight hub will be a great employment generator for Western Sydney, supporting 60 construction jobs during the building phase and more than 150 full-time jobs when it starts operations in early 2020.
With the population in the Western Sydney region set to grow to 1.5 million by 2036, St Marys will be a critical freight hub to support the growing demand for freight services in New South Wales into the future.
St Marys Freight Hub will be built beside Dunheved Business Park, in the industrial area between Lee Holm Road, Forrester Road and Christie Street, beside the T1 Western railway line. Pacific National is currently preparing the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and has commenced community consultation with local residents and businesses.
Subject to planning approval, construction is due to commence in July 2019 with first train planned December 2019.
Established in 2015, and currently chaired by Pacific National CEO Dean Dalla Valle, the Freight On Rail Group (FORG) of Australia promotes the benefits of hauling goods and commodities by rail, and engages with government and stakeholders on major public policy.
FORG pursues its vision and goals without fear or favour.
Australia's growing population and economy is fuelling an increased demand for freight in Australia, and FORG's vision is to increase rail's modal share by lobbying governments to encourage the use of rail freight on key strategic corridors and to invest in efficient and well-planned supply chains to better connect rail, roads and ports.
Australians are increasingly demanding safer roads, less traffic congestion, and lower carbon emissions and, with the country's freight task predicted to double over the next 20 years, rail will need to carry a greater proportion of the freight load if Australia is to keep pace with demand.
FORG represents eight of Australia's major rail freight operating companies and network rail organisations: Pacific National, Aurizon, Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC), Arc Infrastructure, Genesee & Wyoming Australia, Qube Holdings, SCT Logistics and Watco Australia.
The Group is seeking a policy and regulatory environment that enables the development and operation of an efficient and commercially sustainable rail freight transport sector. FORG works closely with industry and government to help achieve this outcome by researching and developing policy positions, advocating policy changes and reform that supports modal shift to rail, and providing information and expert advice on freight related issues.

Parkes is known as the Elvis capital of Australia, but in the future, it will also be known in freight and logistics circles as the Memphis Down Under.
Pacific National is helping to create the largest freight and logistics precinct in inland regional Australia; akin to the major freight hub of Memphis in the interior of the United States of America.
Pacific National has committed an initial $35 million to develop the company's Parkes Logistics Terminal, located within the National Logistics Hub, and acquire rollingstock like freight wagons.
Pacific National's terminal will act as a future facility to consolidate hundreds of thousands of cargo containers, including boxes filled with regional commodities destined for overseas markets, to be hauled by rail across the length and breadth of Australia.
Once the Melbourne to Brisbane Inland Rail project is complete, regional enterprises can use Parkes as the launching pad to haul goods and commodities by rail more efficiently between the ports of Botany, Brisbane, Melbourne and Fremantle.
Located at the intersection of the main western railway line running from Sydney to Perth, the future Inland Rail corridor from Melbourne to Brisbane, and the Newell Highway, Parkes is the perfect place to establish an intermodal freight terminal – a place where trains and trucks meet.
Construction of Pacific National's terminal commenced in October 2018. Freight trains 1,800-metres in length are expected to be hauling from the terminal to Perth in late-2019.
Once fully operational, Pacific National's Parkes Logistics Terminal will have the capacity to process approximately 450,000 cargo containers each year, including the ability to haul double-stacked containers from Parkes to Perth.
Pacific National is proud to be part of Parkes. Terminal construction is currently generating about 40 jobs, while the future terminal will have a workforce of 100 people.
One of the largest private sector investments in freight and logistics infrastructure in regional Australia, helping to give the Australian Government's $10 billion Melbourne to Brisbane Inland Rail project added momentum.
Pacific National owns 365 hectares at Parkes.
A single 1,800-metre freight train hauling containers is equivalent to removing 70 B-double trucks from our roads.
A 2017 Deloitte Access Economics report found for every tonne of freight hauled a kilometre, road freight produces 14 times greater accident costs than rail freight and 16 times as much carbon pollution.
At Pacific National we recognise that the responsibility of rail safety extends beyond rail organisations to educational and community service groups, governments, road user groups and the broader community.
That's why Pacific National is a founding member of the TrackSAFE Foundation, established by the Australian rail industry in March 2012. TrackSAFE aims to reduce collisions, near collisions, injuries and fatalities on the rail network resulting from suicide, reckless behaviour and human error, and to create a better workplace for rail employees.
A national approach to rail safety, TrackSAFE focuses on reducing level crossing safety, reducing suicide and trespass incidents, and providing support for rail industry employees who witness, or are first on the scene to traumatic rail incidents.
All these incidents have a significant impact on rail workers, particularly drivers, who witness them. Pacific National works with TrackSAFE to see how we can provide a safer workplace for all of our employees and to find ways of providing more support to anyone who does witness an incident.
Reducing the number of people trespassing on train tracks and rail property.
Providing additional support for rail industry employees who witness or are first on the scene to these traumatic incidents.
You can find more information, news and project information on the TrackSAFE Foundation website.
Australia's leading freight and coal rail services operator, and moves regional exports, bulk goods, grain, and agricultural products on the eastern seaboard, Pacific National makes a significant contribution to Australia's economy, gross domestic product, and communities, annually.


For the new or prospective immigrant to South Africa Personal Taxation may be one of the major considerations, especially for the higher net worth individuals.
Tax is all about planning, knowing the regulations and ensuring you make the most appropriate plan to mitigate paying tax that you may legally not pay.
Below we provide you with some of the important information regarding South Africa Personal Taxation, but as said, planning is everything, so we encourage you to make contact regarding your own South Africa Personal Taxation situation as soon as possible.
South Africa operates under a residency-based system of taxation.
In essence this means if one is viewed as resident for tax purposes, you are liable to taxation on your worldwide income. It does however have in place a dual taxation agreement with most European countries, specifically to ensure fair and equitable treatment of an individual.
In essence this means that establishing your residency is of vital importance. Whether you are working in South Africa or not tax could be payable and planning could prevent unnecessary tax. Further, residency is not based on a particular permit that you hold but by SARS definition of residency.
VAT (Value Added Tax) – an indirect tax payable at 14% and levied on transactions such as goods or services purchased. VAT is not charged on wages, hobbies or private recreational pursuits or the odd sale of personal goods or certain exempt goods and services. Exports are also nil rated.
There are certain exclusions from capital gains tax such as the sale of a car, painting or personal item and others have allowances, such as your main residence, before capital gains tax is due. Capital losses can also be offset against gains.
Capital Gains tax is calculated as the profit you have made on disposal minus the base cost (purchase price and other items) and is payable as part of your income tax. The first 30,000 rand gain per year is exempt and thereafter the rate is 33.3% of the gain. This 33.3% is then added to your income as part of your income tax calculation.
Estate Duty – commonly known in many countries as Inheritance tax.
If the deceased person was resident in South Africa Estate, duty is payable on the entire estate; for non residents it is payable on South African assets. Estate refers to all property, life-insurance policies and pension funds of the deceased. Estate duty is leavied at 20% on the estate but with the first 3.5 million rand not dutable. This is increased to 7 million rand in the event of it being a married couple.
Donations tax – payable at 20% with the first 100,000 rand per year tax free and donations between spouses.
Income tax – Residents are taxed on their worldwide income, subject to certain exclusions. Foreign taxes on that income are allowed as a credit against South African tax payable.
You are liable to pay income tax if you earn more than R63 556 in the 2013 year of assessment, and are younger than 65 years of age. If you are 65 years of age or older, the tax threshold (i.e. the amount above which income tax becomes payable) increases to R99 056. For taxpayers aged 75 years and older, this threshold is R110 889. If you earn in excess of these amounts you must also register for income tax.
Any person (resident or non-resident) who purchases South African immovable property from a non-resident will, from 1 September 2007, be obliged to withhold between 5% – 10% from the purchase price if the purchase price exceeds R 2 million. Immovable property could in certain circumstances include the shares in a company which owns South African immovable property.
Any amount so withheld must be paid to SARS within a certain time period. Estate agents and conveyancers are obliged to notify the purchaser in writing if the seller is a non-resident and if there may be a withholding obligation.
Most taxation systems around the world are far from simple and South Africa follows this trend. Planning is key as always and we await your enquiry to discuss your personal taxation.

ERT deployed to assist in aggravated assault investigation; 10 arrested
by admin|Published January 16, 2020
Police are continuing to investigate following a shooting that took place early this morning in Prince George.
On Thursday January 16 at approximately 1:30 a.m., the Prince George RCMP received a report of two people at the hospital with injuries consistent with being shot. The injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
Officers attended the hospital and spoke to the victims. Investigation led officers to believe that the victims were shot by someone known to them on the 3100 block of Westwood Drive in Prince George. The scene was secured and evidence gathered.
While patrolling for the suspect, officers observed him in a large SUV and attempted to stop the vehicle. The vehicle did not stop and fled the area. Due to weather and road conditions, and in order to best ensure public safety, officers discontinued pursuit of the suspect.
Through further investigation, frontline officers located the suspect vehicle parked outside a residence in the small community of Willow River, just east of Prince George. The Prince George RCMP's Police Dog Services Unit and the North District RCMP's Emergency Response Team were called out to assist.
Later this morning, four women and six men were taken into custody without incident. The suspect was not among them.
Although the motive of this attack has yet to be confirmed, investigators believe that the suspect and victims are known to each other and this is a targeted attack.
The Prince George RCMP do not believe this incident is associated to the attempted murder that occurred on Tuesday January 14 in Prince George.
If you have any information about this serious Criminal offence, please contact the Prince George RCMP at (250)561-3300 or anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 1(800)222-8477 or online at www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca (English only). You do not have to reveal your identity to Crime Stoppers. If you provide information that leads to an arrest, you could be eligible for a cash reward.

Top 50 CEOs
A True Leader Is Not Always the Person at the Top
(Image Source: Flickr - Gage Skidmore)
From Elon Musk to Kim Jong-un, people at the top are loved and hated worldwide, but what truly makes a leader? Isaac Getz is Professor at ESCP EUROPE Business School, and author of award-winning book Freedom, Inc. Here Prof. Getz explains to CEO Today what truly forms the defining attributes of a real leader.
In recent months the media has been awash of stories about the loss of confidence in Theresa May's leadership, some of which have led to subsequent attempts to topple her from within her own party.
In the US a number of Republican leaders have also expressed the loss of confidence in their president. A recent report noted donors and strategists as being more hesitant to stand by Donald Trump running again for President in 2020. John McCain told the New York Times that they see "weakness in this President."
"Loss of confidence in X's leadership" such as this is a classic line, often followed by the change at the top of a government or a company, the effect of which can last for some time.
Commonly, it can be viewed as the immutable laws of politics—national or corporate—just as sun rising in the east and setting in the west. But research on leadership shatters this common view. In fact true leadership is very rare – it's rather like a comet passing by than a sun – and this is something both Mrs May and President Trump could take heed of.
True leaders are respected
There is one key criterion to be called a true leader: people follow you not because they must but because they want to. The problem is that most people at the top don't really know if people behind them gather by obligation or will. So how does one become a true leader, sure of having the real followers?
Through my study of several dozen true leaders, I could identify the elements setting them apart. I borrow the first from Robert Davids, who headed six companies in his life, from the age of 15. According to Davids, a person becomes a leader not because she is loved or liked, but because she is respected.
Respect can mean different things to different people. For Davids it means treating people with fairness. Another leader, defines respect as seeking people input and participation, then seriously considering and incorporating it into the decisions that impact them. Yet another definition of respect is listening the others without judgement and interruption and providing them with authentic feedback.
Despite the differences between respect definitions it boils down to this: a true leader treats people with respect demonstrated through consideration of them and trust of their intelligence.
Transformation of traditional command-and-control
Though this sounds abstract, in practice it requires no less than a radical transformation of traditional command-and-control behaviors, because the latter deny people consideration and trust.
Put simply, when presented with a problem by her team, a leader doesn't take charge ("here's what you will do"), but instead gives respect: "I trust that if you take a bit of time you'll come up with a solution." So that her team doesn't deem her unsupportive, the leader asks for when the solution is expected, and offers to pass by to discuss what the team has found. If the team wishes so. If not, she just asks to be informed about the solution the team has decided to put in place. Giving people responsibility – or giving them back power – is yet another way to show them respect.
Corporate liberation – sweeping Europe
This leadership approach is seen through the corporate liberation movement, which is sweeping companies and public services in France and Europe at the moment (including major companies such as Michelin, Decathlon and Airbus). These companies are gradually putting in place new practices which give employees freedom and responsibility to make decisions on behalf of the company's vision. While they haven't been prisons, liberated companies unleash employee initiative and potential which have been stifled by command-and-control practices.
By the way, in these companies, even the vision is elaborated with the input and participation of employees – not a description of what will happen, but of what employees dream to happen.
Ego gets in the way
The person who can initiate this radical transformation is one at the top, because only she has a mandate to change the organizational environment. The first step she takes is to work on her ego and control issues.
A person thinking of herself as the most intelligent in the room won't be able to seek people input and participation, nor to seriously incorporate it into the decisions that impact them. Ego will prevent her to give people respect and as a result, they will stop following her.
In a nutshell, the less a true leader the person is, the more power—carrots and sticks—she will need to stay at the top. Until the people will pull her down. And they will.
The key lesson to top politicians, Theresa May and Donald Trump included, as well as CEOs, is that loss of confidence is a symptom of lack of leadership. That is, of the lack of respect demonstrated through their consideration and trust of the intelligence in people working with them.
By repeatedly saying to people "I trust if you take a bit of time, you will find a solution" at the end a leader may hear them declaring "we did it on our own". She will also discover that they have acquired tremendous confidence in their true leader.

NINE SUITCASES: A Memoir
Bela Zsolt, Author, Ladislaus Lob, Translator , trans. from the Hungarian by Ladislaus Löb. Schocken $25 (336p) ISBN 978-0-8052-4204-1
Hungarian Jewish novelist and journalist Zsolt (who died in 1949) experienced more than his share of suffering, as documented in this Holocaust memoir published in English for the first time (it originally appeared in serial form in 1946 in a magazine Zsolt founded). Born in 1895, Zsolt was well known in intellectual circles during the 1920s and '30s as a liberal political journalist. This book highlights his years in Ukraine as a forced laborer for the Hungarian army, the months he spent in a ghetto in Nagyvárad awaiting deportation to Auschwitz and his escape from the ghetto in the spring of 1944 (he eventually made it to Switzerland with his wife). As one of the first Holocaust memoirs, this piercing account displays a raw freshness that is as vivid as it is horrifying. It lacks the genre's usual displays of hope and strength, focusing instead on humanity's basest instincts, as expressed by the brutal Hungarian gendarmes and by their Jewish victims as well. Noting his inability to write of the horrors he experienced, Szolt reports, "I resisted my own experiences with elementary force, like a man who tries to overcome a malignant tumor that pokes conspicuously through his skin by not looking...." Clearly, Szolt's writing capacity returned with a vengeance after the war; his powerful, poignant honesty shows little mercy to his readers' sensibilities. (Nov. 9)

Abstract: The emerging "information super-highway" and accelerating improvements in computer and mass storage technologies will soon make multimedia services, such as video-on-demand (VOD), a reality. Since a media server will be required to move a large amount of data over distribution networks, its I/O subsystem design is critical to its success. The current most popular I/O interface SCSI has many problems in an I/O intensive environment, because of its limited bandwidth, unfair channel arbitration protocol, etc. In this paper, we explore a new technology, Fibre Channel, as a storage interface for video servers. Specifically, we study Fibre Channel loop topology that attaches multiple disk drives to a server host. In order to compare the performance of the new Fibre Channel interface with parallel SCSI, we built a video server simulator that simulates the behavior of both interfaces. The results show that with the same number of disks and the same system configurations, one Fibre Channel loop can achieve 50% higher performance (measured by the number of concurrent streams supported by the server) than four fast/wide SCSI channels. Our results show that Fibre Channel is attractive as a video/media server I/O interface. We also analyze the buffer size requirements and I/O transfer size for various configurations.


Galvarino from Los Angeles in the USA is the rock trio of Grady (Guitar / Vocals), Dusty (Bass) and Jack (Drums).
The way to get the best out of Galvarino is to set your speakers as high as they will go – kick them to get an extra boost as the scrummaging sounds of the trio scamper around the room.
Fusing brash percussion and bass with festering guitars Galvarino find the audience quickly caught up in movement as rock-a-billy meets heavy duty 1980's British Rock fused with Americana, yet it doesn't sound like a retrospective step backwards, rather a refreshing tumult of well worn leather jacket and newly minted frolics. The trio is able to invest into the audience a sense of togetherness in a whirl-wind of rock-n-roll.
The band has languished behind their ability since inception a couple of years ago as they have concentrated on local live performance, sadly neglecting the wider audience, which has perhaps held them back. Of positive news I am led to understand that plans are afoot for an LP later this year which may give those of us not in Los Angeles an opportunity to hear more.
Once I have additions to report – be assured I will let you know as I do enjoy Galvarino and am sure you will too.
Join Emerging Indie Bands on Twitter for more music that you need to hear but won't have the opportunity to unless you live locally to the band.
SheWolF from Melbourne in Australia is the rock quartet of Cassandra Vlahos (Guitar / Vocals), Ellen Russo (Bass / Vocals), Serena Vlahos (Vocals) and Nikki Vlahos (Drums / Vocals).
Strong combinations of guitars and percussion stream across the room as SheWolF deliver their sounds of fuzz and melody wrapped inside powerful pace-setting drums. Over it a comes a vocal which softens the sound allowing the listener to engage with the compositions, whilst still burying their head inside the speakers.
Some smart switches in balance between bass and percussion allows the quartet to change emphasis mid-way through tracks keeping the audience riveted to the compositions. Whilst SheWolF is able to scruff the ground giving the out-put the necessary dirt, it is their ability to layer this with textures and melodies, that gives the out-put considerable interest.
A couple of years behind them SheWolF are beginning to make their mark in the live scene with a continuing schedule of performances, for those of us a little further away, it would be great to have the opportunity to hear more of them – an eponymous EP that came out in November goes some-way to address this.
The Athens, Greece, based Ghost Season is a rock quintet comprising – Nick Lountos (Vocals), Nick Christolis (Guitars), Nash Sinner (Guitar), Dorian Gates (Bass) and Chris Grekas (Drums).
A mesmerising flurry of percussion spirals around the room as Ghost Season bring their metal inspired melodic rock to the audience. It is easy to imagine the quintet filling a big stadium with their commodious guitars which soar out of the speakers with fluidity and prowess. Only a year and a bit old, the quintet sound as through they have been together far longer.
Ghost Season fill the ears with powerful undertow that is driven by the bass and rip current drums as the two guitars add complexity through wave upon wave of chords whilst the vocal rounds out the music with a classic rock presence.
The genre of heavy-rock inspired sounds is a space in which many bands jostle for notice yet Ghost Season manage to carve out some room through skilful musicianship that deservedly allows the spotlight to rest upon their out-put.
Still establishing their fan-base and live performance presence, Ghost Season have been able to release their first EP – Ghosts Like Her, which serves as a fine introduction to a band who have the potential to travel far and I wish them every success. Rumour has it of an LP to follow – this year.

Q: Any drawbacks to using a string ID field in an mvc model? We're creating a relatively basic CMS site in mvc4.
In the past we've always followed the convention of having auto generated int for the ID field, and having a separate string field to hold the url.
But most of the data retrieval is based on the url field.
Therefore, I'm wondering if it would be better to discard the int ID altogether and use the url field as the ID instead.
It feels like the right thing to do, but I'm worried it might cause me grief later on.
Other than making sure that each url is unique, are there any other implications or inconveniences this might cause me further down the line?

A: Do you do a lot of joins on this field with other tables? If so, you'll need to store it as a foreign key multiple places and that would take up a bit of space potentially (but space isn't too big of a deal in today's computing world). Do you allow the user to update the URL? If so you'll have to also update the locations where it's the foreign key. That could potentially be slow depending on the database. Compares with varchar are slower than int usually so queries might be slower... I'd just index the URL and keep the surrogate key, but I tend towards the lazy side of things.

Writing is a powerful art form and words are a strong form of communication. People dream of earning a paycheck from writing. Writing allows people to have the freedom to live where they want and do what they want. Many writers combine their writing dream with their skiing passion. When you merge the two, you may have the perfect job – a ski journalist.
A ski journalist gets paid to write about skiing. They don't make ridiculous amounts of money, but they do get to do two things they love – write and ski (or snowboard). Many ski journalists work other jobs at the ski resort and write in their "free" time.
Most skiers and snowboarders have visited skiing websites, blogs, Facebook pages, or flipped through a ski magazine such as Powder, Freeskier, Backcountry or other widely circulated snow sports magazines.
With very little effort, you can find information on ski resorts, backcountry, skiing, snowboarding, telemarking, ski towns, terrain, new improvements, tips, profiles, restaurants, bars, controversies, expansions, advertisements, competitions, adventures, gear reviews, destinations, après, and much more – all of it written by ski journalists who earn a paycheck by writing about what they love.
"This is as good of a writing job as one can get. So you get paid to take other people's vacations." Well in some ways it's true. It's hard to write about something honestly without experiencing it. Ski journalism allows you to combine work with fun. It certainly beats sitting in an office all day bent over a computer – instead you're typing away while the snow falls outside your chalet after another epic powder day. Heck, some writers are working in 'real time' while on the chair lift using their mobile device.
If you want to be a ski journalist, start writing and submit your articles to magazines, websites, and newspapers. If you start to get published and people enjoy what you write, then join the North American Snowsports Journalist Association (NASJA). The NASJA is a great place for ski journalists to find work, make contacts, and boost their resume.
The hardest part of writing is staying motivated. You must have a special kind of self-motivation to survive in the writing business, Even if you're sick and you just feel like burrowing down deeper in bed, you still need to keep things fresh, entertaining, and exciting. As a writer, you'll most likely never get rich, but you sure will enjoy your life.
It's easy to come home after the ski day, cook pasta and drink a beer next to the fire, but a ski journalist has to come home and log a few hours tapping away on his computer to get his work completed. It's how he gets paid.
Staying focused is important. Finding the delicate balance between time spent skiing and time spent writing is the key to success. Once you find a system that works for you, the opportunities are waiting.
Ski Writing – Armchair skiers and snowboarders around the world love to flip through this type of writing while daydreaming about what they wish they were doing. Ski writing is typically freelance work, where you get to choose your topics and find your markets. It also means less consistency.
Ski Public Relations – Writing to promote a ski area is a different ball game than ski writing. It is marketing, public relations, and promotions. It is full time work and often requires a related degree plus a knowledge of the resort industry.
Many wonder what a ski journalist does in the summer when there is no snow? A ski journalist's job doesn't just stop because the snow melts. Many travel to Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, or Chile to chase the endless winter and bring the far off epic parks, massive peaks, and up and coming resorts to readers everywhere.
Other ski journalists change their job title to travel writer. This way they can sit on the beach and review hotels in the Caribbean, travel by train and write about hostels in Europe, bike through Southeast Asia and write about established tourist routes, or go on any number of exciting adventures that can be written about and experienced by armchair travelers around the world.
Writing is a fun way to earn a paycheck. You get to ski and you get to express yourself through well-crafted word selection. Plus, once your articles are published, ski bums all over the world will read what you write. That's cool.

My research interests are related to the molecular neurosciences. The projects focus on the exploration of cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the modulation of the noradrenergic and serotonergic phenotypes in the brain,as well as the neuroprotection of specific bioactive compounds from neuronal toxicity. We are investigating effects of stress hormones, transcription factors, antidepressants and other psychopharmacological compounds on gene expressionin central catecholamine systems, and on neurogenesis. In addition, we study the neuroprotective effect of agmatine, a putative neurotransmitter in the brain, on hippocampal neurons in vitro and in vivo. This latter project also includes investigating the regulation of enzymes involved in the synthesis of agmatine.
A variety of cellular and molecular biological methodologies, as well as stereotaxic surgery and behavioral analyses are applied to cell and/or animal models to address these research goals. Since dysfunction of neural circuitry in central catecholamine systems and cell injury are potentially involved in the development of psychiatric and neurological illnesses such as major depression, and Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, these studies will improve our understanding of the molecular pathology of these disorders, and may ultimately lead to improved therapeutic interventions.

The video proof of Hillary and Huma participating in a satanic ritual using a little girl has purportedly been dropped on the dark web.
Some people believe this tweet from Senator Ben Sasse is evidence it is close to being introduced to the public.
This wouldn't have to do with that Hillary video would it? You know the one that made hardened police officers cry, throw up, and need therapy. Hillary is up for crimes against children and the world will see the proof in all its gory details.
Translation:. You're going to see some disturbing things come out, don't believe it. "Trust us.".
What surprised me the most about his tweet was how many people responded to it with these types of comments.
It is past time for Huma and Hillary to HANG.

TV Report Card | 'Bates Motel' Season 1 Review
Overview: "Bates Motel" tells the origin story of one of film's most memorable villains, Norman Bates and just as effectively, his families'.
Storyline Direction: This was hands down the best written show of the 2012-2013 season. It was taught and thrilling. There were no missteps. I repeat none! It was a masterpiece. The slow build ratcheted up each week and blew our minds with one twist after another. All of the characters were written with depth and fleshed out with resonance.
It seamlessly weaved several different genres together; drama, mystery, thriller, romance, and even some comedy. Its momentum picked up each episode and before swinging to the next unfolding plot, it masterfully touched on all of the beats of the current one.
The trickiest part of doing this series was creating something new with a character that is such an icon in cinema. For anyone who has seen Alfred Hitchcock's classic film, "Psycho", the thing that it preys on is the innocence of Norman Bates, the inconceivability that a soul as kind as his, could be capable of such evil. It put a face on a new terror, the person you would least expect, the quiet guy down the street.
As much as Spielberg's "Jaws" had people running out of the ocean in fear of sharks, "Psycho" had people fearing an enemy that wasn't so easy to identify. "Bates Motel" explores more than just the backstory of the notorious "Psycho", it is looking to answer the biggest questions that viewers of the movie have always had, "Why?" and perhaps even "How?". Why would Norman, such a seemingly nice guy, do such terrible things? How is it possible; that someone so good could become someone so evil?
In the end, the prime suspects in the making of such a person are nurture vs. nature. "Bates Motel" examines and weighs both of these arguments. The show has made it clear that Norman is mentally ill. He has black outs and enters fugue states. He was already fighting an uphill battle from the moment he was born given the eventual manifestation of his illness.
As for nurture, he hasn't lacked any of that from his mother Norma, who is eccentric to say the least and all too plugged-in to the world around her; she doesn't exhibit any characteristics of mental illness though. Her mothering of Norman, while very hands on, hasn't brought on nor can it be explained as the reason for his eventual fate and by extension hers.
The core of "Bates" is a character study of not only Norman but the rest of his family as well. It is fascinating to watch the dynamics between these characters. Bringing Dylan, Norman's brother, in was a brilliant move. He was an excellent conduit between the audience and the crazy world of the show.
Just as we thought he was the "normal" one, he turned out to have a few things in common with the rest of his family. The toll that Norma's obsession with Norman has had on her relationship with her other son was interesting fodder for the show. You want things to turn out well for these characters and knowing that it won't, makes watching the show the equivalent to watching a train crash. You can't look away.
Production Caliber: The iconic hotel has been reproduced in Canada and it looks identical to the film version from 53 years ago. The town that surrounds the hotel is a character unto itself. There is the distinct feeling of small town America and an overall spookiness that casts the mood brilliantly. The production feels rich and is on par with any movie.
Performance Quality: Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga gave the best performance of the entire TV season with her portrayal of Norma Bates, one of the most fascinating characters that television has seen. She was the quintessential ingredient to the show and without her, it would've been a completely different experience and not for the better.
When the show was first conceived and I heard about it; the first thing that came to mind was "how are they going to pull off who Norman's mother is?" Up until this show, the character of Norma Bates had only been a disembodied voice, an apparition to Norman's psyche. Farmiga didn't have a lot to draw from and yet she created something that seemed to always exist, the missing puzzle piece to the mystery of Norman Bates.
Her incarnation of Norma ran the gamut from one extreme to another. She was strong and defiant, needy and vulnerable, and in the next breath manipulative and genuine, a cacophony of contradictions. Something that never changed was that she personified being a fighter and a survivor, someone who thrived in the face of adversity. She had an admirable spirit that made her magnetic pull on those around her completely understandable.
Farmiga has long been one of the most underappreciated actresses out there. She has tremendous range and when given the opportunity in movies, she has stolen the spotlight completely (i.e. "Running Scared"). Movies simply don't write for women on the complex level that they deserve most of the time. On TV that is a different story and the collaboration between the writers and Farmiga has been a tremendous pleasure to watch. Seeing her skill set truly utilized has been one of the most rewarding things about this show.
Freddie Highmore, in a casting coup playing Norman, isn't to his credit doing a carbon copy impression of Anthony Perkins. He has crafted something that is all his own with his version of Norman, still sweet and gentle with a touch of strange thrown in for good measure. Everything about his performance is nuanced and he doesn't use bold emotions in excess.
His restraint bares the significance of also conveying how Norman has also had to hold back from revealing his raw emotions whether, out of respect for other people's feelings or not feeling strong enough to reveal them in the first place. It is a spot-on interpretation of everything you ever imagined about a younger Norman Bates, his performance is a revelation. He is easily one of the best actors of the younger generation. At 21, he demonstrates vast maturity in his work.
For anyone who thinks that this is just Highmore playing himself, check out "The Art of Getting By" and you'll quickly learn that is not the case. As much as the show revolves around the mystery of the town, the heart of the show is the relationship between Norman and his mother. Highmore and Farmiga nail the complicated and often times, bizarre dynamic, between the pair in a pitch-perfect tightrope of emotion.
As for the other members of the cast, who are superlative, Max Thieriot has developed into quite the actor. His performance was a mix of genuine good guy and a hint of danger. As Dylan, he demonstrated the complex emotions of a person who has built up walls to protect himself from the quicksand that is his mother and the compassion that drives his gravitational pull towards her. Their relationship was equally as fascinating as Norma and Norman's.
You ached to see them resolve their past and also figure out what had led to the animosity in the first place. Farmiga and Thieriot crafted another intriguing and complex mother/son dynamic with Dylan and Norma. The best way to describe his performance was simmering. It was always on the verge of something and it was never at anything less than a boil.
Olivia Cooke played Emma, Norman's best friend and the girl holding an unrequited torch for him. It was a really edgy and challenging role as Emma has cystic fibrosis. Cooke demonstrated great poise in the part, equal parts heartbreaking and feisty. She had so many moments that were tremendous during the season. She played Emma as too strong and determined to feel sorry for herself and that made your heart go out to her even more.
When she finally told Norman off during the season finale, Cooke's eyes brimmed with an emotional agony that spoke of yet another pinned hope that hadn't worked out. The writers were wise to hold back from too much dialogue in that scene because she didn't need them; her expression said more than words could.
Nicola Peltz gave a convincing turn as the girl every guy in town wants and every girl can't bring themselves to hate because she is so freaking nice. Peltz played Bradley with an innocence that didn't grasp the true depth of her sexual hold over guys as it seemed to escape her at every turn or so we think.
As confused as Norman was over his behavior throughout the season, Peltz played Bradley's awakening to the parts of herself she hadn't quite understood with equal measure. Nestor Carbonell kept us on the edge of our seats as he kept the mysterious sheriff's motives hidden deep beneath the surface.
Musical Score: The score was effective and ominous, easily setting the mood.
Overall Grade: A+, the best show of the season. Showrunners Carlton Cuse and Kerry Ehrin delivered a show that was equal parts thrilling and dramatic. The equilibrium of the show was always on kilter and the performances they got from everyone, top drawer. They really have something here.
The town is spooky and the overall feeling of the show brings about an uneasiness that keeps you alert as to what's coming next. It feels like anything is possible with this show. There's no limit to what might be coming and that's pretty impressive for a story that we all know the ending to.

The retro-styled B 99 could become Jaguar's X type replacement.
Italian design house Bertone will show a sporty sedan concept created for Jaguar at the Geneva auto show next month.
The B 99 concept previews a sedan that could become a new Jaguar entry-level model, succeeding the X type that was discontinued in 2009.
Mike Robinson, Bertone's chief designer, said the B 99 was made by Bertone in agreement with Jaguar as a view to a possible X-type replacement.
The B 99 is about the same length as a Mercedes C class at 4500mm long but is almost 2000mm wide to offer a roomy interior.
The concept is likely to be shown with a hybrid powertrain.
The B 99 has a low, sporty roofline.
Jaguar plans to launch an entry-level sedan in 2013/2014 to boost sales. The X type was the company's biggest seller.

ACN - Aid to the Church in Need
In the Year of Mercy, Catholics in Middle East 'Will Pray for Daesh'
From Morocco to Iraq, Faithful Tell of Hopes for Jubilee
December 22, 2015 18:00ZENIT StaffJubilees and Special Years
This report is contributed by Oliver Maksan of Aid to the Church in Need.
The Holy Year of Mercy that was solemnly inaugurated by Pope Francis in Rome on Dec. 8 — the Feast of the Immaculate Conception — is being hailed with joy by Catholics throughout the Arab world – from Morocco to Iraq. International Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) gathered impressions from across the Middle East.
Father Dankha Issa is a Chaldean monk in Alqosh. Last summer, hundreds of Christian refugees found refuge in the city after their villages were seized by jihadists. The ancient, exclusively Christian city is situated in the northern part of Iraq. As the crow flies, only about 10 miles separate the monastery of the Virgin in the Corn Field from the front line of ISIS-held territory.
"We are very thankful to Our Holy Father that he has proclaimed a Holy Year of Mercy. It is a time of grace for us," the priest told ACN. He himself had been forced to flee Mosul in June of 2014 after it fell to ISIS, or Daesh, as the terrorist organization is known in Arabic. Father Issa said: "This Jubilee gives us new hope. Let us hope that this year will extinguish the fires of hate and bring peace.
"In this year our attention is particularly drawn to how merciful God is with us sinners. God forgives us. But this also means that we have to forgive each other. Even the people of Daesh, who have done so many evil things to us. After all, as a Christian you also have to love your enemies. This is almost humanly impossible. But it is easier through faith. God is capable of everything.
"Of course we hope that God will open and soften the hearts of the people of Daesh so that they cease their murderous doings. Let us pray that he will dispel the hate and violence in their hearts and let love take hold."
The priest's monastery wants to make it possible for the refugees to experience the mercy of God over the course of the year. "We will continue to support them with food and the like. However, we especially want to pray together, above all the rosary. This is what makes it possible for us suffering limbs of the Body of Christ to become one with the universal Church and the Pope."
In Lebanon, Father Raymond Abdo wants to use the Holy Year as an opportunity to come up with a Christian response to the persecution of Christians in the Middle East. "The people who persecute Christians have to come into contact with Jesus Christ. Mercy thus means not allowing ourselves to hate these people," the Carmelite from the northern city of Tripoli said.
He added: "We need the courage to pray for them and to love them. Because when they persecute Christians, they do not know what they are doing. This [prayer and love] is what Jesus did on the cross.
"The Church in the Middle East plays a role in many institutions that are visited by non-Christians. We have to love these people and show the mercy of the Gospels to them by example. Jesus did this with the Gentiles." In the school in which the priest teaches, 65% of the students are Muslim. "Respecting the Muslim students in the same way we respect the Christian students: this is what mercy means to me," he said.
The Year of Mercy is also receiving attention in Gaza.There are only about 1300 Christians. The number of Catholics is hardly higher than 160. Father Mario da Silva is pastor for the Catholic parish of the Holy Family. The Brazilian religious from the Argentine Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE) has been living in Gaza City for several years. During this time he has witnessed several wars.
"This Holy Year is a big chance," he told ACN, adding: "We Christians can re-learn what the mercy of God means. This includes re-thinking the reality of sin. We are dependent upon the forgiveness of God. This is an opportunity to find out something new about the sacrament of penance.
"From the first moment I arrived in Gaza, of course I felt the hatred that the people harbor because of Israeli politics. This hatred is rooted in the injustice the people here experience every day. It may be less pronounced among the Christians because forgiveness belongs to our faith. But of course they also know this feeling. That is only human.
"The wars, the destruction, the high unemployment rate that also affects the Christians: all this eats away at the people. However, as a priest I do not feel it is my first priority to change the political situation. That is not in our hands, even though the Church of course draws attention to injustice as such. However, what we can do is to help convert our hearts."
In Egypt, Father Beshoi has been the priest in Azareia, a Christian town in Upper Egypt near Asyut. The Coptic Catholic cleric wants to make the sacrament of penance more accessible to his parishioners again, saying: "We need the forgiveness of God. Here, there are a lot of cases of revenge because of insults to family honor. These are often caused by something trivial. But the situations often escalate until there are casualties.
"And that happens here—even though only Christians live in our town. But they have assimilated to the Islamic culture that surrounds us. In Islam, God is only seen as a lawmaker who metes out punishment when His commandments are not heeded. However, I want to change this mentality. I want to show God to my brothers and sisters as a merciful Father who forgives us. However, this is also why we have to forgive each other. Thus, the Year of Mercy has come at just the right moment for me."
There are a lot of problems, especially among the adolescents in the town. The pastor said: "Many take drugs because they feel unloved or misunderstood. I want to show them that God loves them and is waiting for them with open arms. I know that God can work miracles in the souls. Just recently, an almost 60-year-old man came to me for confession: for the first time in his life! I hope that I will see many such small miracles over the course of this year!"
The Holy Year is also being celebrated at the outermost Western edge of the Arab world. Admittedly, there are hardly any Catholics living in Morocco and the vast majority of these are foreigners. However, the small local Catholic community takes an active part in the life of the World Church. A good example are the Sisters of the Carmelite convent of Tangiers. "We embrace the Holy Year with pleasure and gratitude. It is a great grace that we want to experience together with the entire Church. With all of our poverty and weakness and in recognising our sinfulness, we are on our way to the Father, whose embrace we have need of," Sister Maria Virtudes told ACN. The Spanish nun is the prioress of her community.
The sisters began the Jubilee with a prayer vigil. The Sister said: "We prayed to the Lord who is present in the Eucharist. In doing so, we took turns in singing the hymn that was composed for the Holy Year and held long moments of silent worship. As we did this, we were, together with the Immaculate Virgin, in communion with the entire Church."

Marian Books > Marian Apparitions
Marian Books > Marian Theology
With his characteristic eloquence and brilliance, Fulton J. Sheen presents a moving portrayal of the Blessed Virgin Mary that combines deep spirituality with history, philosophy and theology. All the major aspects and events of Mary's life are lovingly portrayed in this word portrait that is a never failing source of information, consolation and inspiration. Sheen also gives profound insights into all the Marian beliefs ranging from the Immaculate Conception to the Assumption to the miracle of Our Lady of Fatima.
While considering the different phases of Mary's life, Bishop Sheen discusses various problems common to mankind of every age and reveals clearly that every problem can be resolved. He emphasizes the unique dignity, strength and gifts of women and their ability to help heal the world's problems. Sheen stresses mankind's need of the Mother of God and her burning love for all her children. The great resurgence of devotion to Mary is God's way of emphasizing the worth and dignity of every person against the false doctrines that have so confused the modern world.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen was one of the most celebrated churchmen of the twentieth century. He wrote over sixty books, and his radio and television programs drew an audience of thirty million listeners. His many other books include Life Is Worth Living, The World's First Love, and Through the Year with Fulton Sheen.

from Illinois Great book!
A very eloquent book about Mary, Our Mother.  Sheen goes through the life of Mary and explains how she is our greatest Mediator to Jesus. Sheen also gives some brief meditations on the Mysteries of the Rosary,  and discusses the life and role of St. Joseph.  A must read!
"A stimulating literary picture of the Blessed Virgin Mary ... an impressive scope of information."
— Newark News
p>"A remarkable book by Sheen. Many rays of inspiration are to be gleaned from this thought-provoking work."
— Philadelphia Inquirer
"The whole treatment is based on a high key that reflects the author's deep reverence and devotion for the Blessed Virgin."
— Chicago Sunday Tribune
p>"With the world situation as challenging as it is today, especially the fear of war and terrorism, this book is truly prophetic. Sheen presents powerful insights into how Our Lady can help us in dealing with the problems in today's world. Among his many books, Sheen cherished this book as his personal favorite!"

Today I welcome author Elise K. Ackers to the blog to tell us about her new release Ask me to Stay: A Homeland Book. Over to you, Elise.
Although Ask Me To Stay: A Homeland Book is my fourth book, it's a first for me in many ways. It is my first rural romance, my first romantic elements title, and my first series. Prior to now, the books I have written have been contemporary single title and largely focused on the romantic development of the male and female protagonists.
Ask Me To Stay is different. It explores the fractured relationship of two brothers, the secrets they keep and the obligations which bind them. Ethan Foster has shouldered a heavy burden for most of his adult life, but his older brother Dean, a grieving widower and a father of two, thinks Ethan has shirked responsibility at every turn.
The Fosters are the stars of this first book in the Homeland series, although they make room for a number of other very important characters: their best friend Caleb O'Hara, and his sister, Samantha. Sam was Ethan's high school sweetheart. Although he abandoned her over a decade ago, she can still see the good in him where others only see faults.
Their chance to rekindle a long ago relationship constitutes the romantic elements aspect of this story.
The second title Ask Me For More and the third title Ask Me For Tomorrow, due for release July and October respectively, will further explore the concepts of reputation, redemption, loyalty and love.
When family tragedy brings bad boy Ethan Foster home, he doesn't expect a warm welcome. In the small town of Hinterdown reputation is everything - and Ethan's was ruined long ago. Nobody wants him around, particularly not Sam O'Hara, the girl he left behind.
There's still a powerful spark between them, but Sam is afraid to risk her heart again. And Ethan is hiding a secret that will have repercussions for his whole family. Will the townspeople ever forgive him? More importantly, will those he loves the most find it in their hearts to take him back?


Sydney FC midfielder Hirofumi Moriyasu has been given a chance and the softly spoken 25-year-old has taken it with both hands.
After almost giving the game away before booking a one-way ticket to Australia to give his dream of playing football professionally overseas one last shot, 'Hiro- signed on with defending Hyundai A-League Champions Sydney FC and the American born player has not looked back.
Moriyasu, who was playing for APIA Leichardt in the NSW Premier League before joining Sydney FC, has made three appearances off the bench for the Sky Blues and it-s been his aggression, hard running and physicality that have left a lasting impression.
"It-s been a lot different to the State League. The level of the State League and A-League is very different. The speed, it-s just a lot stronger so I have to make decisions much quicker but it-s really good fun." Moriyasu said.
Moriyasu lifted himself to cult hero status with the APIA fans almost overnight after a string of stunning performances and the well mannered midfielder has applied his hard working ethos to his work at Sydney FC.
Interestingly though, Moriyasu says he isn-t renowned for his aggression.
"The first two games I was only playing for a short amount of time and I was trying change the game. We were down and I was trying to change the match but that is difficult but we kept pushing hard," he said.
Moriyasu and the Sky Blues now have the unenviable task of travelling to Wellington to take on the Phoenix at Westpac Stadium, a venue the Kiwi side currently boast a 21-game unbeaten run.
"I heard Wellington haven-t lost a game in a couple of months or even maybe a year there so I hope we play well and break that record and we get the win and the three points," Moriyasu said.

Пол Стренд (, *16 жовтня 1890 — 31 березня 1976) — американський фотограф, оператор, режисер, один зі сподвижників фотографії як мистецтва.

Життєпис

Відомий ранніми абстрактними фотографіями і документальними стрічками Manhetta та The Wave (інша назва Redes).

У 1949 відвідав Міжнародний кінофестиваль у Карлових Варах в Чехословаччині, після чого вже не повернувся до США через політику Маккартизму.
Пол Стренд ніколи не входив до Комуністичної партії, хоча багато його друзів були коммуністами і соціалістами.

Решту життя прожив у вигнанні у Франці,ї де повернувся до фотографії. У цей час створив одні з найвидатніших робіт, які побачили світ у вигляді шести альбомів: Time in New England (1950), La France de Profil (1952), Un Paese (1955), Tir a'Mhurain / Outer Hebrides[1] (1962), Living Egypt (1969) та Ghana: an African portrait (1976).

The sculpture allegory by Jacques de Lajoue, unsigned pen and ink wash drawing. Typical work of the finest "rocaille" period.
We can compare this drawing with a suit of 'Modèle de buffets' and the "The Bath of the Sultana".
