The role of values and moral emotions
Prof. Linda Steg
Theme(s):
Energy transition, Human values and technology, Sustainable water
People often respond emotionally to proposed sustainable innovations, for example when resisting the siting of windmills. This project develops an approach to take such emotions constructively into account in order to develop responsible innovations.
People often react emotionally – for example angry or fearful - to innovative solutions to societal problems such as climate change, despite their societal benefits. Negative emotions can often lead to fierce resistance, whereas positive emotions can contribute to a successful introduction of an innovation. Such emotions are often seen as irrational and unpredictable, and are therefore not explicitly addressed in decision-making. However, not taking emotions seriously may strengthen public opposition even more. The new approach of this project offers an alternative, by showing that adequately addressing emotions can reveal important values that can contribute to more responsible innovations.
Based on cases of environmentally relevant innovations, the project investigates how emotions can become a starting point for reflection and dialogue, resulting in responsible innovations. This project proposes that emotions are typically not random and irrational, but rooted in people's values. These emotions in turn strongly influence how people evaluate the costs, risks and benefits of innovations and the public acceptability of these innovations. More specifically, the hypothesis is that emotional responses to innovations depend on how these innovations impact on people's key values. People may thus feel negatively about and oppose innovations that threaten their important values, whereas they may feel positively about and support innovations that support their important values.
In empirical studies, the researchers will present respondents with real or fictive innovations with both benefits and drawbacks for different values. An example is micro-algae based foods as a meat substitute – while reducing the ecological footprint, they are very expensive due to high production costs. The researchers will map the emotions that such an innovation elicits in people and investigate how these emotions are related to people's underlying values. Somebody who values cost advantages as very important, might have a more negative view on micro-algae based foods than somebody who is mainly concerned about the environment and future generations.
Ethical reflection
In a normative-ethical analysis of the empirical results the researchers will reveal how different, possibly conflicting values should be integrated in the development and implementation of innovations, and which possible value trade-offs should or should not be made. A normative analysis means that there is an explicit, critical, ethical reflection on the values underlying people's emotional responses, and whether these values and emotions can be ethically justified and how they should be balanced.
Development of guidelines
As such, the researchers will not only demonstrate that emotions towards innovations can be predicted, based on underlying values, but also that they can be constructively used as an input for developing socially responsible innovations. Using this novel method in which social-psychological research is combined with ethical reflection, guidelines will be developed for companies, government bodies and other parties involved in the development and implementation of innovations. The guidelines will help companies and government bodies to integrate people's key values and emotions to develop innovations that are societally acceptable and can be justified on ethical grounds. This is one of the reasons why the research is realised in close collaboration with Dutch public and private parties and partners who are involved in research in low- and middle-income countries.

Q: Javascript control of SELECT scrolling Firstly, I am no Javascript expert. I'd like to add a feature to a SELECT box I am using which automatically scrolls to the end when a new item is added, but only if the user has not scrolled up.
Basically, when a user is reviewing older entries, I don't want new arrivals to snap the position to the end of the select list. However, if the user scrolls down to the bottom using the scroll bar, new arrivals shoudl automatically be brought into view.
Here is what I have so far
<script type="text/javascript">
  function AddItem(s)
  {
    document.getElementById('content').add(new Option(s));
    // Scroll to end - cant remember why I am using this pair of commands :)
    document.getElementById('content').selectedIndex = document.getElementById('content').length - 1;
    document.getElementById('content').selectedIndex = document.getElementById('content').length + 1;
  }
</script>

I am expecting to have to perform a test to see if the last but one item is visible. If so, we are at the bottom and should perform the autoscroll. Is this correct?
Thanks JS Masters
Simon

A: The scroll bar of a select box isn't accessible via javascript so I don't think you'll be able to do this.
related: Height of an HTML select box (dropdown)
You can see which items are selected and change the selection but I don't think there's any way to tell which items are visible.

A: As @bemace noted, JavaScript does not provide access to scroll the select box.  The best you can do is "pre-select" the item... which, if this is a "dropdown" style select, should show that option.
e.g.
<script type="text/javascript">
  function AddItem(s){
    var mySelect = document.getElementById('content');
    mySelect.add(new Option(s));
    mySelect.selectedIndex = mySelect.options.length - 1;
  }
</script>

It should be noted though, if you have 30 options in the select, and the size attribute is set to say 10 (e.g. it shows as a list, not a dropdown), then when you "choose" the new (31st option), the list won't necessarily scroll to show that entry

The War On Drugs – A Deeper Understanding
Adam Granduciel admits a little more light
Photo by Shawn Brackbill
TAGS: The War On Drugs
In the songs of Adam Granduciel, it can feel like it's always 3am. His lyrics contain just as many references to darkness – both literal and figurative – as they do to his desires to find a way out or maybe just get a little rest. But clearly The War On Drugs' main man is used to the state of mind that typically accompanies the wee hours, which is not so surprising given his reputation for painstaking perfectionism. Among his other enemies of sleep are the feelings of anxiety and isolation that he expressed so starkly in the most dimly lit passages of Lost In The Dream, the Philadelphia band's moving, mesmerising and much-lauded third album that hogged the top spot in best-of-year lists (including Uncut's) in 2014. Whichever inner demon deserves the credit, it puts a long stretch of highway in between him and the dawn's early light.
Sure enough, A Deeper Understanding opens with the first of several new tracks that situate Granduciel back in the time and place he knows so well. In "Up All Night", his agitation has him "spinnin' round on the floor", as he sings in a raspy murmur. A gorgeous exercise in yearning that finds Granduciel at his most Dylanesque, "Pain" begins with the instruction to "go to bed now" – alas, there's more brooding to do. In the equally winsome "Clean Living", he admits that "Sometimes I'll lay in the dark/Just to see if I can feel a spark."
At other times, he seems to have a new reason to be awake. As he puts it in "Up All Night", it's "some feeling I can't break", something that's "glowing" and that he can't understand. In "Thinking Of A Place" – the album's 14-minute centrepiece, a haunting, gently shifting reverie of a love that got lost somewhere near the banks of the Missouri river – there's more talk of light creeping in, of "movin' with the moon" and morning arriving to help bust up the old ways of feeling and thinking. He doesn't necessarily know what to call "all these changes I don't understand", as he puts it in "Nothing To Find", one of the most immediately engaging new songs. But maybe a guy with his disposition is too wary to cop to feeling happier, which he has every right to these days given his band's continuing rise in fortunes (including a new deal with Atlantic) and his own romance with actress Krysten Ritter of Jessica Jones and Breaking Bad fame. Plus there's all the sunshine he encountered after decamping to Los Angeles to record most of A Deeper Understanding, even if Granduciel recently admitted his reference points for quintessential LA records are Warren Zevon and Tonight's The Night rather than anything that sounds like it has a great tan.
So even though much of the album may guide us through more long, dark nights of the soul, there's a new brightness at the edges here, and more warmth, too. While the sound is as obsessively layered and textured as ever, it benefits from a beefier low end, The War On Drugs having shifted out of the trebly tendencies that were part and parcel with the shoegazer and psych inspirations more prevalent on Lost In The Dream and 2008's Wagonwheel Blues.
New songs like "Holding On" – more proof of Granduciel's genius at building a Springsteenian heartland rocker out of such unlikely components as a motorik groove and his arsenal of vintage synths – benefit from a greater emphasis on band performances, too. Hunkering down in a series of studios in LA and New York with Alabama Shakes engineer Shawn Everett, Granduciel modified his often solitary working methods to create more room for drummer Charlie Hall, bassist Dave Hartley and keyboardist Robbie Bennett, his most loyal collaborators since The War On Drugs evolved from a loose assemblage of Philly pals to a more professional operation. The two multi-instrumentalists who fill out the band's regular live lineup, Jon Natchez and Anthony LaMarca, make similarly valuable appearances.
The result is some of the richest, most compelling and least lonely-sounding music of Granduciel's career. And that's true even of songs as beautifully forlorn as "Clean Living", on which Granduciel weathers a troubled time by providing himself with a pep talk ("I know my way around it/I've been doing alright") and a deftly arranged musical setting that foregrounds Bennett's Rhodes, Natchez' baritone sax and the singer's own contributions on piano and harmonica. "Knocked Down" is another expression of vulnerability and feeling "beaten up and weak" that exudes strength and resilience.
Elsewhere, The War On Drugs shed the more lugubrious tendencies that sometimes dog them, reaching maximum cruising speed when the programmed beats kick in halfway through "Up All Night", a swirl of fuzz and rhythm of a kind rarely heard since Andrew Weatherall remixed My Bloody Valentine. Granduciel sounds just as free of his demons when he croons a few "woo-hoos" over the cascading synths of "Nothing To Find", which is to Springsteen's "Glory Days" what Lost In The Dream's "Burning" was to "Dancing In The Dark". At times like these, the night that once seemed endless isn't so long at all.
The October 2017 issue of Uncut is now on sale in the UK – featuring Jack White on the cover. Elsewhere in the issue, there are new interviews with Van Morrison, The National, The Dream Syndicate, Steve Winwood, Tony Visconti, The The, The Doors and Sparks. We review LCD Soundsystem, The Style Council, Chris Hillman, Hiss Golden Messenger and Frank Zappa. Our free CD features 15 tracks of the month's best music, including Lee Renaldo, Mogwai, Wand, Chris Hillman, The Dream Syndicate, Hiss Golden Messenger and more.


These girls are the earthly embodiment of the dreams of any man. Nature is clearly not stingy, creating them. Absolutely everything is beautiful in these beauties – both hair, and face, and figure. But how the hell can be difficult to admire their faces – a look at, against your will, focuses on another point of the picture.

Säppi lighthouse island (Säppi, Eurajoki)
The buildings in the grounds of the Säppi lighthouse mainly date back to the 1870s. The lighthouse keepers' houses enclose a rectangular yard at the foot of the lighthouse. They were constructed in accordance with type drawings and represent buildings typical of the lighthouses established in the 19th century. The houses are maintained in their original condition and are grouped in their original positions. Some buildings outside the lighthouse grounds have been destroyed. There are also signs of small-scale farming around the buildings. The oldest known sea mark on Säppi, made of poles, was erected in 1779. However, the island is known to have served as a sea mark and a base for seafarers long before this. Strongly affected by human activity, the lighthouse's surroundings include a representative range of dry meadow plants, such as lady's bedstraw (Galium verum), meadow foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis), sweet vernal-grass (Anthoxanthum odoratum), chives (Allium schoenoprasum), wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca), maiden pink (Dianthus deltoides) and hairy oat-grass (Avenula pubescens). The sounds in the background are made by barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) and a common gull (Larus canus).

This book critically examines the main features of intercultural communication. It addresses how ideology permeates intercultural processes and develops an alternative 'grammar' of culture. It explores intercultural communication within the context of global politics, seeks to address the specific problems that derive from Western ideology, and sets out an agenda for research.
Chapter 9: Culture, Real or Imagined?
It's a valuable guide for graduate students.
It engages with theoretical issues not central to the course. It will however be recommended for library purchase to benefit research students in the broader field.
This book is going to be adopted as recommended reading on a year-long course on intercultural communication where it fits in well with the other reading and aims of the module. Some of the content is relatively advanced for lower undergraduate level, but more able students could benefit greatly from some of chapters, especially the discussion of critical cultural awareness.
This text does an excellent job of covering the selected material, but unfortunately does not cover enough of the course objectives to warrant adoption as a text. An option I continue to consider is incorporation of key chapters in a bundle of readings.
Excellent publication for advanced students in intercultural communication and education, great source for developing critical awareness and general reflexivity on how to cope with otherness, preferably recommended to students at master level and above.
Engaging book with a challenging understanding of the ideological component of communication. However, it is perhaps too critical in emphasis for the course I had considered it for. As an extension reader or to help with dissertations excellent.
I appreciated this text's contents and clarity in exposition, and I will be adopting it for use. On a theoretical level, I'm not completely convinced by Holliday's use of Geertz's "thick description" as a methodology: as an anthropologist, it seems to me to be a bit too formulaic, but for the rest I am very much in agreement with his epistemological stance. The book is quite thought-provoking and appears to be user-friendly. We'll see how it goes in actual use.

Tag Archives: kickstarter for children's music
The final stretch – Brady Rymer and Randy Kaplan Kickstarters ending soon!
Posted in Reviews, Video	by kidscangroove
Both Brady Rymer and Randy Kaplan are ready to make their next children's albums and have launched a Kickstarter campaign in hopes to support the recording and production process. With just 4 days left in Brady's project and 7 days in Randy's project, there is still time to donate and show your support for these hard working artists. Both Brady and Randy are distinguished children's artists that regularly produce quality music with depth and a whole lotta soul. Plus, the music just sounds amazing! For those new to Kickstarter: Kickstarter is a fundraising site that allows fans, friends, family and the general public to back a creative endeavor, such as the making of an album.
Both Randy and Brady have been a big part of our lives since my daughter (almost 5) was an infant, but they both have been making music for much longer than that. As such, I have backed both of these campaigns.
With that, I encourage you to check out each campaign, consider showing your support and ultimately becoming a part of the music you want to hear.
JUST SAY HI! Brady Rymer's new album for families that ROCK – Brady is a soulful singer with a tender heart and a ton of spirit. His music is uplifting, engaging and captures the spirit of good ole rock n' roll. In addition to receiving a 2009 Grammy nomination, Brady has received awards and accolades for his work on Love Me For Who I Am, an album inspired by children affected by autism, Asperger's Syndrome and related disorders. Just Say Hi! will be Brady's 7th CD and it promises to be a good one! As Brady mentions on his site: "Just Say Hi! is the most personal batch of songs I've written; full of kindness, friendship, and love of family. Songs about things like falling in love with the ice cream girl, learning to play grandma's red piano, and just crankin' up your little light of love and lettin' it shine."
Throughout his campaign, Brady has been posting updates with the latest one being a snippet of a video for the song "Ice Cream Girl," inspired by Brady's wife who drove a Good Humor ice cream truck as a summer job. Brady also offers some fun incentives with a broad range of pledge opportunities. Just in time for the holidays, Brady is offering 3 holiday tracks at $1 or more as a thank you for pledging. They are great songs! One of our favorites is "Untangling the Christmas Lights." Other incentives include monster stickers and friendship bracelets, t-shirts, personalized and advanced copies of the CD, singing on the record and for those interested in pledging at a higher level, Brady is giving away his first Gibson guitar. So check it out! Even just a few dollars will help!
Randy Kaplan's new not-JUST-for-kids CD – Randy Kaplan is regularly referred to as a folk troubadour within the children's genre. His influences run deep within the folk and blues genres and he skillfully delivers songs that are filled with healthy doses of wit and charm. Randy is a master at combining song and storytelling which is directly linked to his uncanny ability to be honest, humble and totally authentic. His lyrics are clever and written in such a way that tickles the funny bone of both adults and children, while also warming their hearts with a rendition of Bob Dylan's "Forever Young," which was selected for the Putumayo Kids American Playgound album. His most recent album, Mr. Diddie Wah Diddie, a collection of Country Blues and Ragtime for kids, received high honors and awards including being selected by People magazine (August 2012 issue) as one of 8 Cool Kids' Albums Now!. Randy also regularly appears on critics lists as one of the top children's performers to see in concert. And I can personally say that is absolutely accurate! Randy is a natural in front of a crowd and is usually surrounded by groups of children who can be heard shouting, laughing and even yodeling along with him. Randy makes music that he enjoys and feels confident that his audience will enjoy.
Which brings me to Randy's Kickstarter project. With additional support, Randy will be able to create his 13th album to date (his 5th not-JUST-for-kids album). On his Kickstarter page, you can listen to clips for popular songs from previous albums including "No Nothing," a song about a monkey who was raised by ducks (one of our favorites!) and the "The Mosquito Song," among others. Randy also explains how he has been producing family records up until now and what his plans are for making the next one. Backers can also receive advanced mp3s or copies of the new CD, the new CD with a special thank you mentioned in the credits, or even a personal concert via Skype with Randy. There are a broad range of incentives here as well, so take a look and consider helping to make the number 13 a lucky one for Randy!

A$AP Mob Sued For Injuring Fan While Crowd Surfing
Kevin Goddard
@Kuda708
The A$AP Mob are now facing some legal issues from a stage diving incident from 2013.
This probably isn't what they need right now, but the A$AP Mob are now facing a lawsuit for an incident that stems back to 2013.
While performing at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood two years ago, the A$AP Mob started crowd surfing (which they usually do), and left one fan in a world of hurt. The fan, Tammy Nguyen, is now suing the mob for injuries sustained from the stage diving.
The woman states that she was in the VIP section of the show when the A$AP mob starting jumping into the crowd. She says when A$AP Ferg jumped in the crowd, he absolutely nailed her. She also adds that she had to try and fight her way through the crowd to get out, while security was no help at all.
She's suing the group and Ferg, TMZ reports.

"For this election issue, Artforum asked nine artists to contribute projects reflecting on a moment that requires us to think the unthinkable. As of this writing, we are waiting to see whether Election Day 2020 will mark an end to the hallucinatory nightmare of Donald Trump's presidency; whether it will constitute a victory of a setback for the white supremacists who enabled him to rise; whether the reactionary violence against Black Lives Matter protesters and other enemies of the regime will effloresce into civil war. We are waiting to see if the unimaginable occurs. But if we are to truly move beyond this presidency and all the forms of violence and injustice that made it possible, we must change in ways that, while positive and necessary, are almost equally far-fetched. "
In a recent interview with Artforum, Adam Pendleton speaks about his work US/U.S., 2020, discussing also his use of spray paint. Watch the video by clicking here.

The New Museum is proud to announce "Grief and Grievance: Art and Mourning in America," an exhibition originally conceived by Okwui Enwezor (1963-2019) for the New Museum, and presented with curatorial support from advisors Naomi Beckwith, Massimiliano Gioni, Glenn Ligon, and Mark Nash. On view from January 27 to June 6, 2021, "Grief and Grievance" will be an intergenerational exhibition, bringing together thirty-seven artists working in a variety of mediums who have addressed the concept of mourning, commemoration, and loss as a direct response to the national emergency of racist violence experienced by Black communities across America. The exhibition further considers the intertwined phenomena of Black grief and a politically orchestrated white grievance, as each structures and defines contemporary American social and political life. Included in "Grief and Grievance" are works encompassing video, painting, sculpture, installation, photography, sound, and performance made in the last decade, along with several key historical works and a series of new commissions created in response to the concept of the exhibition.
Adam Pendleton's original and powerful body of work has been described as the embodiment of a new era. His multifaceted projects, which include painting, collage, film, and publishing, re-contextualize historical and theoretical positions on abstraction, blackness, and the avant-garde. Working predominantly in black-and-white, Pendleton often creates 'total works' that envelop viewers and push the limits of contemporary discourse.

48 artists including Adam Pendleton have designed special "I Voted" stickers for four different covers of the October 26 issue of New York Magazine.
The idea was initiated by New York Magazine and nonpartisan organization "I am a voter" to encourage people to engage in the mail-in and early voting for 2020 US Presidential Election. The stickers will be distributed along with the issue, and also be available at book-stores, museums, non-profit organisations, and official polling sites across the country.

To Be Determined juxtaposes works from many centuries, geographies, and cultures to trace how the significance of art can shift when presented in new contexts. Drawn from the DMA's global collection, the exhibition features works of art, sacred objects, and design from the 13th century to the present, including 13 new acquisitions and important paintings by Dallas-based artists. To Be Determined affirms the resilience of individuals and communities through evocative—and occasionally unexpected—groupings of works that resonate with current and historical struggles.
Organized through collaboration among the DMA's entire curatorial team, the exhibition explores what it means to be present with works of art after extended time apart. It shines a light on how viewers create their own meaning for the works they engage with. To Be Determined takes an audience-centered, open-ended approach to interpretation, encouraging viewers to make personal connections.

The Museum of Modern Art will present Adam Pendleton: Who Is Queen?, a large-scale multimedia installation that will be on view in the Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium. Based in New York, Adam Pendleton (American, born 1984) is a Conceptual artist who uses historical and aesthetic content from visual culture to explore the ways in which context influences meaning. Pendleton reconfigures words, forms, and images to provoke critical questioning.
For this presentation, Pendleton's monumental installation will bring the formal mechanics of musical counterpoint—the folding and unfolding of simultaneous voices—into contact with the aesthetics of protest. For the duration of the exhibition, MoMA's Marron Atrium will be transformed into an arena encompassed by three wooden, floor-to-ceiling vertical scaffolds. These modular systems, built from four basic units, will be designed to resemble balloon framing used in American house construction.

This small-scale group exhibition borrows its name from the title of Italo Calvino's novel, published in 1979, towards the end of the Italian author's life (1923–1985). If on a Winter's Night a Traveler was written as an act of wandering through reading, during which the author leads us through various tales that remain unfinished, and never become a coherent plot together. It is written in the second person, making us, the readers, not only his companions on the literary journey but actual protagonists of the reading course. Inspired by the novel, the exhibition "If on a winter's night a traveler" (in Hebrew it is a female traveler) aims to offer the viewer a journey following observation of art. The viewer (that is, you) is invited to wander along, opposite, beside and around 13 works of art created by ten artists: two lived and worked in the 20th century, the others live and work in the early 21st century. The links between the works will hopefully be revealed along the journey: questions of identity, masculinity (old and new), cruelty (between people and in relation to nature), figuring the humanbody and the way in which cultures nurture and enrich each other. "If on a winter's night a traveler" invites you to wander through the gallery and compose your own story of the exhibition from layers of clues, meanings and sub-plots that the works bring forth.

Readers Jenn C. and Chuck H. from Dorchester, Massachusetts, recently sailed on Norwegian's Norwegian Dream. You can read about their experiences in today's blog entry.
If you'd like to tell your fellow readers about a cruise you've taken, please answer the questions in the format below and email them to me at cruise@smartertravel.com.
We sailed a seven-night "Texaribbean" itinerary leaving from and returning to Houston. The ports were Progreso and Cozumel, Mexico; and Belize City, Belize. There was one sea day before Progreso and two sea days on the way back from Belize to Houston.
What did you like most about the onboard experience and why?
The staff and crew were always helpful and accommodating. For a seven-day cruise with 1,700 passengers, a surprising number remembered names and preferences before the end of the week. Because it is an older ship from a less popular embarkation port, it was relatively inexpensive, but we had everything we needed. We enjoyed the luxury of feeling like we were "eating out" every night, with a number of options for live music and other entertainment, both before and after dinner.
What did you like least? Why?
Because the ship is older and was stretched, some of the physical layout is a bit awkward or in the realm of "can't get there from here," but that is a trade-off we adjusted to. We disliked the extent of territoriality people had over saving lounge chairs and that the decks were frequently out of towels.
How would you rate your cabin?
Our promenade deck cabin was relatively spacious, with a nice sitting area separated by a curtain from the bed area. The bathroom was very small but made good use of the available space, including well-placed glass corner shelves that held most of our toiletries. The bed was very comfortable and firm, though the two twin mattresses did separate occasionally. The window was large and the view was good, but it was partially obstructed in the upper third by the lifeboats that were hung above the promenade (though it was not an "obstructed view" cabin). The window did appear to be effectively tinted, providing privacy from the joggers and walkers outside.
The food was quite good. We mostly avoided the buffets, but had reasonable experiences at them when we went for snacks or breakfast. There is only one up-charge restaurant on the Dream, Le Bistrot. We went once and had a wonderful evening; it was well worth the $15 per person fee.
Our favorite everyday restaurant was Terraces, at the rear of the ship. The food there is the same as at Four Seasons, the other main sit-down restaurant. While service was attentive in both restaurants, we found that at Four Seasons our plates were whisked away as soon as they were empty and replaced with the next course, leaving us little time to enjoy the meal or the view. At Terraces we had some space between courses, which was much more to our liking.
The only real disappointment with the food was the desserts. They were consistently mediocre and Chuck in particular had very bad luck with crusts. The Chocoholic Buffet was a bit better but still not fantastic, although it was visually stunning. The two-foot tall chocolate chess knight was particularly impressive.
What was your favorite port or shore excursion and why?
It is tough to choose between Cozumel and Belize City for different reasons. In Cozumel we went on a well-run ship-sponsored excursion to go reef snorkeling at the Palancar Reef. We were taken from the port on a catamaran by a friendly excursion crew out to the reef site, and accompanied in the water by two dive masters. There were too many people on the trip due to merging two separate excursions, but they still had enough equipment for everyone. We saw a sea turtle and a stingray, along with many fish. The coral was in good shape; in that area it is limestone colored instead of pink, but still interesting to look at.
In Belize we went with an independent cave-tubing-excursion company, Cave-Tubing.com. They were incredibly energetic and friendly, making sure that all of the kids on the trip got chips, and advising everyone to get fully wet to stay cool for the jungle hike to get to the caves.
The caves themselves were impressive to see, but we could have had a little more time to see specific formations. It was made clear to us that the people who were really dawdling were not on cruise ships, and we appreciated the commitment to getting us back to the ship on time given that there's no guarantee the ship would wait for an independent excursion. At half the price of the ship's equivalent excursion, but with such amazing staff, you should definitely use them if you are in Belize.
What was your least favorite onshore experience? Why?
The "Flamingos and Mayan Ruins 4×4 Eco-Adventure" was fun, and a fine way to spend our first shore day, but not what was advertised or what we would have chosen had we known. There was no justifiable reason to use the little rickety, ill-maintained beach buggies, as all our driving was on major roads. In fact, a tour bus was parked next to us at the ruins. The ruins were interesting to see, but there was no organized information at the site explaining its significance, and one got the sense that our guide was a little unsure on the specifics himself.
And, in the nearby salt flats, there were no flamingos. It was explained to us that this is not really their season, which makes it a little annoying that the excursion is still offered with that title. It is one thing to not guarantee flamingo sightings, but another to advertise them at a time of year when they are simply not around. The group added a 90-minute beach break at the end in compensation, which was nice, but not the same as having the chance to make fully informed choices for ourselves at the start.
Would you sail with this cruise line again?
Yes. We do not feel committed to them above all others, but if other things were equal we might choose them based on familiarity and good experience. We are curious to see what one of the newer, larger ships would be like.


If your church has never experienced problems with church announcements, there is no need for you to read the rest of this post.
If your church is like the 95 percent of congregations that do struggle with announcements, please continue reading.
To be clear, I am speaking of verbal announcements made during a worship service. For this post, I am not concerned specifically about the digital announcements that appear on a church website, a screen before or after worship services, or a church newsletter. This issue is all about those times when someone stands up to speak to the entire congregation.
Someone's announcement is left out. On more than one occasion, announcements are left out either inadvertently or by design. A person feels slighted because his or her area of ministry or activity is particularly important to them.
Someone's announcement gets more emphasis than others. The reasons are the same as noted above. I actually heard one woman say she timed each individual announcement to prove the pastor showed favoritism. Sigh.
The announcements take too long. More than one congregant has become frustrated due to the length of the announcements, especially if the issue in number four takes place.
The announcements interrupt the flow of worship. Perhaps the worst time to have verbal announcements is after the worship service has begun. While singing, preaching, and the offertory definitely reflect acts of worship, it's hard to see how the announcements fit in that category. If you have to make announcements, precede the worship service with them.
Most people forget announcements. Try an experiment. Talk to someone you saw in the worship service one or two days later. See if he or she remembers the announcements. Probably not.
Some of these same issues play out in digital venues as well. People get angry or get their feelings hurt because of the placement or perceived priority of announcements on the church's website or social media accounts.
The churches that seem to be handling the verbal announcements best are actually doing them on a very limited basis. The leaders make sure the announcements are important to the entire congregation, and that they reflect clearly a major issue for the church. Other announcements go to the newsletter or to the web site.
Unless there is an overriding reason, announcements that pertain to a small portion of the membership really should not be considered church announcements in any form. Usually there is no reason why the leader of that group cannot contact every person individually.
But unfortunately the issue is very real in many churches.

I was recently meeting with about a dozen members of a church that was on the precipice of closing. During their perceived "good old days," the average worship attendance was in the 40s and 50s. Now the church attendance was in the teens. The church was on metaphorical life support.
I shared with them some items of urgency that might give them some glimmer of hope. So I was surprised when one of the members asked me a question that seemed to come from nowhere: "Will we have to sing from screens instead of hymnals?" she asked with a tinge of anger.
I never responded directly to the question. It was too late. The few members were of one mind about an issue so peripheral I had never anticipated it. I left saddened.
The church had chosen to die.
It is my life and ministry passion to help churches, particularly struggling churches, to revitalize. One of the greatest needs of churches today is to choose to live and to thrive.
Unfortunately, many congregations are choosing to die. For certain, they are not calling a business meeting and making a motion to die. Their choices are more subtle and, often, more incremental. But the end result is the same.
Churches are choosing to die.
So what are churches doing specifically that leads to their demise? Here are five of the more common choices.
They refuse to face reality. I was in a dying church recently. The congregational average attendance was 425 seven years ago. Today it is 185. I could find no one in the church who thought the trends were bad. They were in a state of delusion and denial.
They are more concerned about greater comfort than the Great Commission.Church membership has become self-serving. The church is more like a country club than the body of Christ. People are "paying dues" to get what they want in the church. It's all about their preferences and desires.
They are unwilling to accept responsibility. It's the fault of culture. All the new churches in town are to blame. If someone wants to come to our church, they know where we are. People just don't want to come to church anymore. Excuses and more excuses. I have never been in a community that is nearly fully churched. There are many people to reach. Excuses preclude obedience.
They are too busy fighting and criticizing. If we could take the energy of church critics and antagonists into reaching people with the gospel, our churches would become evangelistic forces. Unfortunately in many churches, members expend most of their energies criticizing leadership and others, and fighting over trivial issues.
They are confusing non-negotiables with negotiables. Almost ten years ago, a couple of men who live near me asked to visit with me in my home. They wanted me to consider visiting their church. One of the men told me their church was one of the few in the area defending the faith. I asked him what he meant by that. He explained that the faith was one particular Bible translation and traditional hymns. I wasn't sure what happened to the bodily resurrection and substitutionary atonement. The church died within seven years.
Most churches have choices to live or die. We use the word "revitalize" because it means to live again. I hope you will join me in this passion to see unhealthy churches become healthy, to see churches choose to live.
As one way of being a part of this movement of revitalization, I have teamed up with Revitalized Churches in Florida to offer the best resources we can to help in this cause. They are once again offering the resource that has helped hundreds of churches move toward revitalization.
Those churches have chosen to live.
Such is my prayer for your church.

It's a long sentence. Read it again carefully. Soak it in. Across America 90 percent of the churches are losing ground in their respective communities. Most of them are declining. Many of them will close.
They are trying to shelter themselves from culture. In the 1980s, congregations were typically part of the mainstream culture. They were accepted in most places, and embraced in some. That is not the culture of today. Many church members use their churches as a getaway from the realities they don't want to face.
Churches largely catered to the needs of church members in the 1980s. We thus created a culture of membership that is me-driven. Many church members do not want to make the sacrifices necessary to reach our communities and culture today. They are demanding their own needs and preferences to be the priority of their churches.
Change was more incremental. If your church is stuck in the 1980s, it does not have to worry about the rapid pace of change today. Members can pretend like their church does not need to change despite the massive upheavals of change in the world.
Church growth was easier. In the 1980s, a number of people would visit our churches without much effort on the members' part. One church member told me recently, "If lost people want to come to our church, they know where we are." Sigh.
Denominations provided solutions. Not all churches in the 1980s belonged to a denomination, but many did. And many members expected the denominational organizations to guide them and resource them. Denominations work best today in partnership with churches, but too many church members want to return to the paradigm of the 1980s.
Others did evangelism for the members in the 1980s. Evangelism was the responsibility of the pastor or the denomination or a few people in a program. Church members paid others to do the work they were supposed to do. Some church members today are more concerned about their worship style preference than lost people who need to hear the gospel.
Some churches would rather die than to get out of the comfort of their 1980's paradigm. I feel certain they will do just that.
What do you think of these issues of time-warp churches? Let me hear from you.

A matinee idol works to reunite a father and son who are estranged after the mysterious death of their mother/wife.
James Jr.
A beautiful, talented American celebrity finds herself the subject of affection of an estranged father and son. A romantic love story with a happy ending. (What were the writers thinking?!?) The only thing macabre about this episode is Mercedes McCambridge again cast as a gorgeous younger woman. You'll never convince me that she sounds like anything but borderline insane approaching-elderly nut case with a tenuous grasp of her maturity. And the young son in the program sounded like a middle aged simpleton. Don't get me wrong. Both actors are wonderful when cast in roles that match their voices.
Lorrie Jane A.
A sweet story with a happy ending on CBSRMT?!? AND it stars Mercedes McCambridge? I didn't think it would ever happen. This story is a nice change of pace from the regular CBSRMT fare that I found to be engaging and pleasant.
This episode isn't bad, but the actress who Plays Liz has a very old voice which throws off the whole episode for me. This kind of low cigarette laden voice makes it impossible to imagine a young woman beautiful enough to make son and father fall in love. She sounds like. 50 year old seamstress. Whenever Mercedes is in a role like this it really throws off the listening experience.
A fairly decent drama, but I agree that Mercedes McCambridge always sounded her age. I do admit that I've heard some people that do sound younger and older than they really are, but after hearing her voice so many times I always hear her as older.
I am with Melanie. 6/2/16. I have a hard time with the put on accents. We can use our imagination that the principal males are Spanish.
I agree about the voices, but I must say that Señor Dryden has a great voice.

Create a travel system with the adorable Maxi-Cosi Adorra Pushchair! This perfect pushchair is perfect for urban living; versatile enough to be able to fold up compactly for hopping on and off public transport but with a large seat for your child's comfort and still plenty of room for shopping! The sweet seat can also be removed in favour of a Maxi-Cosi carrycot or car seat (both sold separately) to complete a superb 3-in-1 pushchair that really goes the distance.
The Adorra is so comfortable for your little one! The seat is covered in luxurious fabrics and has a well-padded, large seat unit that can be positioned forward facing or parent facing as required. The canopy is ultra-extendable for full cover, keeping your little one safely away from harmful sun's rays on those brighter days. The seat can fully recline to a lie-flat position, making it suitable for use from birth. A five-point harness with padding keeps your little one held comfortably and safely in place as you travel together and the bumper bar is removable so you can easily install your child. For further comfort, the backrest and leg rest adjust simultaneously, and a raincover is included to keep your little one dry in case of sudden showers- you can store it in the large under-seat basket when not in use.
This pushchair has a contemporary styling with a leather look finish and 4 sturdy wheels. The front wheels can be locked for straight line trekking or set to swivel for nipping through the city streets. The back wheels have an easy braking system so you can come to a stop quickly and the Adorra benefits from a compact fold even when the seat is in place. When folded, the pushchair can stand upright for easy storage, and to keep the fabrics clean. You can remove the seat and wheels for an even more compact fold. The pushchair is lovely to push and has an extendable handlebar to suit parents of any size.


A judge has allowed 10 death row inmates to challenge the use of the electric chair in a lawsuit against the state of Tennessee. The prisoners were already suing the state over its use of lethal injections in executions.
The group is suing Tennessee over how it conducts executions, with inmates claiming the state's methods violate state and federal laws.
The inmates filed their original lawsuit over a state law that allows correction officials to use one drug instead of three when administering lethal injections.
Since supplies of such drugs are difficult to obtain, the state passed another law this year that allows the Department of Corrections to use the electric chair as a back-up method.
The plaintiffs filed papers in August, asking the court to amend the lawsuit to include the new law. On Thursday, the judge agreed it could be added to the case, according to the Guardian.
In the papers filed last month, they said they electric chair is inadequate because electrocution does not necessarily cause instantaneous death.
"A prisoner that remains alive, conscious, and sensate for some period of time during an electrocution execution will experience excruciating pain and suffering," the amended lawsuit says, according to NBC.
The lawsuit comes as stories of botched executions have been surfacing across the US. In three cases this year, inmates in Arizona, Oklahoma, and Ohio all seemed to suffer during their deaths.
The latest case was in July, when it took Arizona death row inmate Joseph R. Wood nearly two hours to die after being given a lethal injection. Witnesses said he repeatedly gasped and snorted while being given 15 doses of the drugs.
Lethal injection drugs are becoming increasingly hard to find in the US following the European Union's implementation of a "ban on trade in instruments of torture" in 2006, which prohibits the export or import of drugs which are to be used for executions.
Since the law passed, US correctional departments have either run low on supplies or had trouble finding them. Consequently, they have been experimenting with the protocol, resulting in some controversial and disturbing cases.


In this article we are completing the article written in March in which we present you extensively the GDPR rules, hoping that you will find the most useful information and that you will follow the steps of the need to implement these security measures.
The GDPR regulation is one of the toughest European norms in terms of using, analyzing, storing or marketing personal data across the European Union.
UE Law 2016/679 of European Parliament from 27 april 2016, GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), who replace the Directive 95/46/EC, will enter into force on 25 May 2018.
The purpose of the new regulations is to protect the rights and freedoms of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data, but also to regulate the method of obtaining them, as well as the circulation of such data, which is desired in a unitary format.
What means the processing of personal data?
Decision-making in case of profiling and automatic data processing.
What are GDPR personal data?
What is the consent,regarding GDPR?
Consent consists in any manifestation of the free, specific, informed, and unambiguous will of the person in cause, through which it accepts, through a statement or unequivocal action, that the personal data concerning it to be processed.
Must be unambiguous, represent a statement or affirmative action from the person in cause, such as ticking a home when the person visits a site or any other statement or action that clearly indicates in this context the acceptance by the person in cause to process his or her personal data.
What changes in online domain are made regarding to Consent?
New regulations on consent state that it will be explicitly and specifically binding for the processing operation.
The consumer must act for consent, and the agreement will be limited or proportionate to the purpose of the processing so that more data cannot be collected and processed than required for the declared and lawful purpose of the processing.
The GDPR Regulation requires operators to ensure that the agreement can be withdrawn at any time, as easily as it can be given, but not necessarily through the same action. However, in the electronic environment, if consent to data processing is achieved through one single action (click, drag, keystroke, etc.), withdrawal should be possible by the same means. Consent must be explicit and absence of a response, boxes checked beforehand or absence of action should not be a consent. Thus, ads like "Browsing this site requires your consent to …" become illegal.
What should be done before the GDPR Regulation enters into force?
Every online business will have to observe 2 parts of GDPR implementation in Romania, the first part is represented by the technical measures to be implemented at the website level, the online store, the online platform, the news portal, and the second part is the internal measures to be implemented taken in each company, to respect the commitment to the protection of personal data.
Internally, companies need to set up a data log to store an inventory of personal data stored in the company's business. Article 171 of the GDPR Regulation provides that if personal data previously collected by GDPR norms were obtained on the basis of a consent, then the request for a new agreement is no longer required.
If this consent has not been granted, then the entities that store this personal data must request the user's consent to keep and / or process these data. In this case, companies can send a notification email to these users requesting permission to use their personal data for marketing, research, statistics,and so on… Such notification must also contain information about which partners or third parties have access to user data and if so, how they will use this information.
What is a Data Protection Officer (DPO) and how it can help my business?
A Data Protection Office (DPO) is a designated person in the company responsible for data protection, being either an employee of that company or a person contracted under a service contract. The responsible person must be designated on the basis of professional qualities and knowledge in data protection practices.
The tasks of the DPO will include monitoring the application of the GDPR Regulation and implementing other European or governmental norms on personal data protection, providing expert support for data protection impact assessment, and ensuring good co-operation with the supervisory authority.
What concrete actions are needed to comply with the new regulations?
With this new definition of the phrase "personal data," GDPR actually enlarges the list of these types of information that sites ask for when subscribing to the newsletter / creating an account / shopping session and so on..
For example, under the rules in force, online identifiers and location information are not considered to be such personal data. Starting May 25, 2018, however, will fall under the new regulation.
Therefore, sites will have to take this into account in preparing for the GDPR regulation and continuing to respect it.
For websites and online stores that already apply a good practice of using and storing personal data, there is no need to repeat the procedures after May 25, 2018.
For example, subscribers to the newsletter do not need to reconsider consent if it has been obtained correctly in advance. Otherwise, any entity owns a database of e-mail addresses, names, physical addresses, CNPs (personal identification number), CUIs (unique registration code), or any other personal data that will be required to request explicit consent from the individuals concerned to keep, or processing this information.
unauthorized access to collected data.
What sanctions risk those who do not comply with the new GDPR rules?
any other aggravating or attenuating circumstances applicable to the case Such as the financial benefits earned or the losses avoided directly or indirectly by the breach.
Fines can reach up to 20 million euros or 4% of global annual turnover, taking into account the highest value.

Gambill Schools Spartans on Politics in Education
Cass Ratliff
Keith Gambill, the vice president of the Indiana State Teachers Association, presented to Manchester University's Student Education Association on different aspects of politics in education on Sept. 13, 2016, at 7 p.m. in Flory Auditorium.
Gambill, a 26-year educator in the Evansville Public Schools, is a middle school arts and drama teacher. Before becoming vice president of ISTA, he was the president of the Evansville Teachers' Association. Gambill is also is the chair of the ISTA foundation.
After garnering years of experience, Gambill wanted to emphasize to his audience of Manchester University undergraduates the importance of getting out and voting. "Regardless of what year you are, elected officials will be making decisions that affect your work in the classroom," he said. "If you do not play an active role in making sure the right people are voted into office, then you have to live with the consequences."
Gambill noted that there are four essential layers of politics that affect education as one considers voting. The first is the federal government. Laws that come from the federal government are the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which replaces the No Child Left Behind Act that most current college students went to school under, Common Core and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. These are federal laws that schools across the nation must abide by. The president of the United States appoints the secretary of education and sets forth the agenda. "While I supported President Obama, I have been disappointed in his education policy," Gambill said. "I think ESSA is the best thing that's come out of that. In my personal opinion, he gave too much credit and investment to charter schools and did not invest enough in public schools."
Following the federal government level, Gambill explained, is the state level. This is where the governor sets the agenda for each of the four years he or she holds office and works with the budget. Indiana is on a biannual budget system where the budget is effective for two years before it is changed again. January will be the next time when Indiana's budget is reset.
Gambill told his audience how, this year, Indiana will be voting a new governor into office. He or she will set two budgets into place during his or her time, and education funding is a huge part of that budget. Indiana has received more funding in this area; however, due to a 300-million-dollar budget cut Governor Daniels made while in office, public schools are still six years behind where they should be. More money is also going toward vouchers and charter schools. ISTA is asking for a delineation to see where funding is going to.
Gambill also noted that committees that affect the jobs of educators are appointed at this level. There are the State Board of Education and the Indiana Education Employment Relations. The State Board of Education chooses the tests teachers will be given and sets the deadlines for those. This committee also deals with the ratings of teachers. The Indiana Education Employment Relations makes decisions that affect a teacher's accrual work life in terms of hours needed to work and other extra duties outside of the classroom.
Following the committee appointments, Gambill said, the House and the Senate then receive the budget and add their own modification before they release it on the first of May. At this level there is a senator and a representative that get voted into office. "We will be electing a senator and a representative or someone on your behalf will elect because if you don't someone will still be elected into that seat," Gambill said. At this level, the House and Senate decided what tests to take and how and when to evaluate teachers.
Finally, Gambill noted the level of the local government, which involves the school board. The local government has a budget called SILA, which includes the general fund, capital projects, bus transportation, bus replacement and debt services. All of these funds previously came from property taxes until Gov. Daniels decided that the general fund, the fund that pays the teachers, would come from state sales tax. During the time Gov. Daniels made this decision, Indiana was in a recession, which meant people bought less and teachers got paid less. This is why schools can spend money on expensive updates and still have to cut teachers—they are two different funds. During this time, schools had to survive at the local level and made cuts everywhere, including using fewer buses and hiring third party food and janitorial services.
Gambill's speech inspired students to make sure they pay attention to how politics affect their careers as educators. "I love how informational he was on politics that are personal to myself," said elementary education major, Toni Papandrea. "I'll vote for all of it. It's not affecting us now, but it will later."
Other students enjoyed how comprehensive Gambill was. "I loved how he knew to approach the subject to us as college students," said SEA Sophomore Rep., Britanie Jernigan. "It's kind of really scary because a lot of people our age don't vote, and if the wrong people get into office we're screwed for the most part…It's not just the president, it's also the governor who will affect our first day in the classroom."

WSO2 Launches New Middleware Services for Creating and Composing SOA Services in the Cloud
WSO2 Application Server as a Service, WSO2 Data Services as a Service, and Mashups as a Service are Part of WSO2 Stratos Open Source Cloud Middleware Platform
Mountain View, CA – November 15, 2010 – WSO2 today announced the launch of three cloud middleware services for creating and composing enterprise service-oriented architecture (SOA) services and composite applications. Based on middleware products from the award-winning open source WSO2 Carbon middleware platform, they provide proven technology for delivering enterprise services on a public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud. They include:
WSO2 Application Server as a Service, based on the WSO2 Web Services Application Server (WSO2 WSAS), provides a secure, transactional and reliable runtime to create, consume, deploy and manage Web services and Web applications for an SOA.
WSO2 Data as a Service, based on the WSO2 Data Services Server (WSO2 DSS), allows enterprise data to be easily exposed and managed as WS-* style Web services and REST-style Web resources.
WSO2 Mashups as a Service, based on the WSO2 Mashup Server, lets developers bring the simplicity and richness of mashups to their enterprise-class Web services.
The three middleware services can be used on WSO2's hosted infrastructure, within a private cloud, or in a hosted private cloud such as Amazon's Virtual Private Cloud.
"Commercial software as a service solutions (SaaS) offer agility and cost-savings, but enterprises compete on the proprietary knowledge and processes managed by their in-house applications," said Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, WSO2 founder and CEO. "Our WSO2 Application Server as a Service, WSO2 Data as a Service, and WSO2 Mashups as a Service, offer businesses the best of both worlds through the ability to deliver customized in-house SaaS applications."
Services Bring Benefits of WSO2 Stratos 1.0 Platform
WSO2 Application Server as a Service, WSO2 Data as a Service, and WSO2 Mashups as a Service are part of the WSO2 Stratos 1.0 platform as a service (PaaS), which also launched today. The open source WSO2 Stratos is the industry's first complete cloud middleware platform for implementing an enterprise SOA. WSO2 Stratos extends WSO2 Carbon, the award-winning, OSGi-compliant enterprise middleware platform. [For more detail, see WSO2 Stratos 1.0 press release also dated November 15, 2010.]
The three WSO2 middleware services offer all the benefits of the cloud without the complexity or fear of vendor lock-in. First, the automated, integrated and highly scalable infrastructure translates into shorter project times. Second, multi-tenancy means applications managed by different business units or regional offices can be delivered cost-effectively from a single location. Third, multi-tenancy, metering and auto-scaling reduce costs by optimizing data center utilization and letting tenants pay only for what they use.Fourth, built-in automated governance facilities control over applications and services across different tenants. Finally, because they are based on WSO2 Carbon middleware products and WSO2 Stratos, the three services allow applications to be migrated smoothly and safely—on premise, to a private cloud, to the public cloud, or to a hybrid environment—for unprecedented deployment flexibility.
All three WSO2 middleware services also take advantage of WSO2 Carbon Studio, the fully open source Eclipse-based integrated developer environment (IDE). Launched in October 2010, WSO2 Carbon Studio provides a new level of ease in building SOA and composite applications based on WSO2 Carbon and WSO2 Stratos.
WSO2 Application Server as a Service
WSO2 Application Server as a Service, based on WSO2 WSAS, supports the full XML-based WS-* stack and REST in a simple, lightweight model that makes it easier to develop,deploy, manage and monitor Web services. The completely open source, enterprise-ready service is based on Apache Axis2, one of the world's fastest Java Web services engines, and it offers features to enable clustering and high availability. The WSO2 Application Server as a Service also runs Web applications build on Apache Tomcat.
WSO2 Data as a Service
WSO2 Data as a Service, based on WSO2 DSS, enables anyone with a knowledge of the industry.-standard SQL language to quickly create powerful data services that can be shared and accessed across the network. It supports access to data stored in relational databases such as Oracle, MySQL and IBM DB2 (virtually any database accessible via JDBC), as well as the comma-separated values (CSV) file format, and Excel and Google Docs spreadsheets.
WSO2 Mashups as a Service
WSO2 Mashups as a Service, based on WSO2 Mashup Server, provides a platform for rapidly deploying Web service Mashups using JavaScript. Oriented toward developers, it combines the simplicity and richness of mashups with the reusability, security, reliability and governance required for an SOA. It also connects Web Services to humans through such resources as Web pages, gadgets, feeds, instant messages and email.
WSO2 Application Server as a Service, WSO2 Data as a Service, and WSO2 Mashups as a Service are available today as supported production-ready deployments for private clouds. They also can be accessed as beta versions in the public cloud by going to http://appserver.cloud.wso2.com, http://dss.cloud.wso2.com, and http://mashup.cloud.wso2.com,respectively. As fully open source solutions, these WSO2 cloud middleware services do not require any licensing fees. WSO2 offers a range of service and support options,including evaluation support, the CloudStartSM consulting program, development support,and production support.
WSO2 is the lean enterprise middleware company. It delivers the only complete open source enterprise SOA middleware stack purpose-built as an integrated platform to support today's heterogeneous enterprise environments—internally and in the cloud. WSO2's service and support team is led by technical experts who have proven success in deploying enterprise SOAs and contribute to the technology standards that enable them.

Collecting MH17 Crash Victims' Remains by Dutch Reporter Not Journalism
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Dutch freelancer journalist Stefan Beck wrote Tuesday in his blog that he thought Amsterdam police's demand to hand over the material that had been collected by Beck and other journalist Michel Spekkers at the site of the MH17 flight crash in Ukraine was a suggestion, not an order.
Spekkers had his luggage confiscated last Saturday upon flying back to Amsterdam after filming the MH17 crash site. He reportedly carried bags full of metal parts and an object that could have been human remains.
"Authorities therefore contacted Michel Spekkers and asked him to hand it over in either the Dutch embassy in Moscow or at Schiphol Airport. During the contact the police made clear they needed the material for investigation. More so, they claimed that the handover would be voluntarily," Beck wrote in his Russia's Invisible Border blog.
MH17 Downing Perpetrators May Be Named by Early 2018 - Malaysian Minister
Beck stressed that the two journalists had not tried to hide the material they had brought to the Netherlands from the authorities and that they were mostly worried about the safety of the Donbas residents they had interviewed.
The Malaysia Airlines aircraft crashed on July 17, 2014 in eastern Ukraine while flying to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam. All 298 passengers and crew aboard the plane died in the crash.
The Joint Investigation Team (JIT), which comprises Australia, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Belgium and Malaysia, tasked with probing the crash said that the MH17 airliner was allegedly downed by a Buk missile system with a missile purportedly launched from the territory controlled by the Donbas militias.
Moscow rejected the findings, calling the report "biased and politically motivated." The Russian Defense Ministry questioned the conclusions of the investigators, saying that no Russian missile systems, including Buk, had ever crossed the Russian-Ukrainian border.

Thank you North Tyneside Council for listening to my suggestion to install lighting at the Old Library car park in Whitley Bay.
We attended a wonderful show Lipstick On Your Collar last Sunday at the refurbished Playhouse. Using the car park, which was full of snow and ice, the new lighting made the area safe and manageable for both parking and walking to the Playhouse, what a wonderful improvement.
We read of 'Town gone to the dogs' (News Guardian, January 31). This is not so.
'Rome was not built in a day', but the regeneration has put the town on the map again for all the right reasons.
Looking back at the summer everyone so enjoyed the refurbished Dome, the southern promenade is a pleasure to walk along and the traditional seaside promenade so much improved, with the iconic Rendezvous cafe such a pleasant place to meet up, as are all the new venues.
If I was to be critical, a retail outlet on the piazza would benefit the seafront. There is one unit not taken to date, just a suggestion.
The Whitley Bay of the past is no more. Long-standing residents do miss lovely Ryles, but the whole retail landscape has changed and we are not the only town to suffer.
However, we have to look at the positives of what is now being achieved in Whitley Bay.
We have the best high school in North Tyneside, there is every sort of housing available and families are moving to the coast. The community spirit is rich, local churches offer a host of activities for all ages, and the shopping provision is showing signs of improvement.
We will always now be up against online and out of town shopping, but residents and visitors using local shops and eateries will only enhance our town.
One aspect will never change and that is the vista of the North Sea, with the health benefits of a lovely walk to Tynemouth if you can manage.
So there is much to be grateful for and hopefully ongoing regeneration improvements going forward.
