A Simple But Radical Approach to Ending Entrenched Disadvantage
"While we are the lucky country, it's not lucky for everyone," David James, General manager of Children's Ground.
After 20 years working with communities facing the reality of sustained socio-economic disadvantage in remote areas, it was found that things had not improved; rather they had worsened…and probably wouldn't improve.
This called for a complete rethinking of how to end entrenched disadvantage. This approach started with thinking about the needs of the community and ended with the building of the Children's Ground platform.
Children's Ground is a set of ideas and steps that can be implemented from within the community as opposed to being imposed upon it. It aims for families and communities experiencing entrenched disadvantage to realise their aspirations for the next generation of children – to be free from trauma and suffering. If this feels like a big commitment, that's because it is!
This is a preventative program and a huge part of its success is starting early, even before the birth of the child. This commitment gives the child the best possible start at life and then this child is supported by the Children's Ground platform for twenty-five years.
Within this time, the platform places focus on the child first, then the family and the community as a whole, whilst still being implemented from within the community. This bottom-up model for community led action is perhaps the biggest achievement of Children's Ground.
It allows for deeper engagement and builds a relationship with a generation who can pass information and knowledge on to future generations.
The Children's Ground platform is currently being used in remote Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory and West Arnhem Land. Here the platform was offered to the community with no strings attached and no further communication with Children's Ground if the community didn't seek it.
This giving up of ownership is was makes for the community led success of this project.

Is Childhood Improving for Aboriginal Children?
Professor Muriel Bamblett AM, CEO of the Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency (VACCA), covered issues facing Aboriginal children in today's society.
And, the stats were shocking.
Aboriginal children today are twenty times more likely to be homeless, receive over 30% less financial support, face a life expectancy 20 years lower than that of non-Aboriginal children, and they are more likely to experience disability, ill health, and a reduced quality of life.
What does the data tell us about Aboriginal children in Australia today? #gcconf pic.twitter.com/V658xujruP
— SYN Live (@LiveSYN) October 10, 2013
Despite all of that, Muriel reminded us that this data doesn't tell us about the good things happening in Aboriginal communities and spoke of the successes in culture and sport of indigenous people like singer Jessica Mauboy, AFL star Buddy Franklin & NRL star Jonathan Thurston.
"When asked to draw what makes them feel safe, over 85% of Aboriginal children draw the Aboriginal flag" – Muriel Bamblett #GCConf
— Belle ⚓ (@bellejackson_) October 10, 2013
Muriel shared that building Aboriginal culture into everything VACCA do is crucial, and that after their safety, the most important thing to establish in an Aboriginal child's life is culture and cultural safety.
How can we help provide an environment which respects that culture around us?

A good childhood for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children
Julian Pocock, Director Public Policy & Practice Development
In 2007, Ampe Akelyernemane Meke Mekarle – or the Little Children Are Sacred Report – exposed the complexity and shame of sexual abuse of Aboriginal children in the Northern Territory.
Constant media focus on child abuse in the NT followed. Daily reports in The Australian newspaper and nightly stories on ABC's Lateline.
They covered, paedophile rings, chronic neglect, kids sniffing petrol, kids roaming the streets day and night and the sexual abuse of kids, including kids abusing other kids. All fueled by a daily diet of pornography and alcohol.
Shocking, awful stuff. Hard to digest, hard to think about and harder to know where to start. But, in time, easy to ignore.
With the 2007 Federal Election looming, the NT intervention was announced in response to this 'national emergency'.
Just after another election, it's a good time to ask – has childhood improved for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children?
Media stories of neglect and abuse continue. Negative images of Aboriginal kids and families dominate.
Take a look at this photo of a two year old Aboriginal girl from NT in a News.com.au article.
What's your first thought when you look at it?
At first glance it's hard not to think she's been punched.
I had to ask myself, why was that my first thought?
Are we getting any better at providing kids like this with a good childhood?

Speaker David Perkins said he wants to stop the children from enduring trauma. These children, he said, are experiencing trauma when they're taken from their families.
"We need to quit seeing these children as burdens," he said.
The Rev. David Romanik, priest at Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest, compared the situation to the lesson of the good Samaritan from the Bible.
In the story, an enemy of Israel helps one of his enemies after two different Jews bypass the man in favor of looking the other direction.
This type of behavior, Romanik said, is what plenty in this country are experiencing concerning these detention facilities and the inhabitants inside.
"We all fall into that same trap sometimes," he said. "We all want to look away from the pain and anguish in the world. But that story challenges us to ... not just look away but to see what is happening and not to look away but to act. That is our challenge."
After speeches finished, Campos-Davis led the crowd in lighting their candles. As they passed lights among themselves, the youngest attendee, 4-year-old Lena Spaulding, held her candle high.
To finish, Campos-Davis left the crowd with a parting words before they scattered to their homes and families.
"I ask you to think about the children," she said. "I ask you to think about them in those conditions. I ask you to think about the mothers and the fathers" sleeping on the floors for days.

Frederick Louis Cass (1907-1964)
Reverend Frederick Louis Cass was born on 23 May 1907, in North River, Prince Edward Island to parents Thomas P. Cass, and Mary Ann Trainor. Thomas and Mary Ann had ten children, with Frederick being the youngest son. Frederick's older siblings include: Mary, William, Parvin, Austin, Francis, John, George, and Evelyn, and his younger sister Theresa.
Frederick entered Prince of Wales College and obtained a teaching license. He then taught for two years before attending St. Dunstan's College where he graduated in May 1931. After graduation, in the Fall of 1931, Frederick entered the Grand Seminary of Quebec. He was ordained in St. Dunstan's Basilica on 3 March 1935.
Frederick would then spend the next two years, 1936-1937, at St. Francis Xavier and McGill University studying chemistry. He would return to St. Dunstan's College, where he became the first priest to teach chemistry. Frederick also became involved in coaching, he coached athletics as well as debate teams and in the 1950's, he coached two national debating championship teams.
Frederick taught at St. Dunstan's College for 27 years but he unfortunately passed away suddenly on 8 July 1964, at the Charlottetown Hospital. His Funeral Mass was held in St. Dunstan's Basilica by Bishop MacEachern and he was buried in the People's Roman Catholic Cemetery, in Parkdale.
In 1967, The Science Hall at St. Dunstan's College was renamed to Cass Science Hall in honor of Reverend Frederick Louis Cass.

However, the Board of Minerals and Environment issued an Order postponing the hearing until the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have ruled and set the federal surety, and the state Water Management Board has decided the water rights. The Order further states that until those areas are completed "the BME cannot conditionally approve the permit and fulfill its statutory duties." Documents pertaining to the contested case hearing can be viewed at Powertech's Large Scale Mine Permit Application Webpage.

Rylee's my boss. There's just no way around it; I try to be in charge, I kindly explain to him I'm the mom and I respectfully tell him he's not the boss, but I can't win. He is the boss. Some days my boss is a little more demanding than others, other times he cuts me some slack. Unfortunately, he doesn't give me any raises; some times I could really use a bonus, but no, my boss Rylee does not do that. Hmmmm. Maybe I should find another source of employment; actually, I already have, his younger brother Coven. He is currently training under his brother to become boss #2. Looks like I'm in for it. Maybe Cove will be kinder when it comes to raises or bonuses; I'm thinking not, but I can hope. I think, if I'm lucky, I'll get my bonuses in another twenty years or so, when my bosses put their good skills to use in the workforce. Okay, that may be a stretch, but you never know.
It must be the age. You know how they tell you to watch out for the terrible twos? Well, someone told me it really stands for two years, from age two to four. I believe this someone because, wow, Ry at three-and-a-half is a handful. I'm not talking about making sure I have him fed and meals packed if we're leaving the house or the itching from the eczema, I just mean in general. Like I said, he's the boss. Lately, he's been telling me that I'm not the boss, daddy is. Hmmmm, I wonder who told him that?!?!? Mike swears it wasn't him- I don't believe him (well, kind of…).
Isn't it amazing how these little three-year old minds operate? Rylee totally understands what it means to be the boss; he knows what I'm talking about when I kindly ask him to listen to me and stay by me (and then he doesn't listen or stay by me) at the grocery store. He already has me all figured out and knows exactly how to push my buttons, just as I used to push my sisters buttons growing up. How do our kids learn so much, so quickly? It's kind of frightening. Okay, not really, but slightly. As my mom has always told me, the days are long, but the years are short and boy, does Rylee make sure that quote rings true. I don't think he is much more demanding (aside the fact we're dealing with allergies and eczema on a daily basis, but it seems a lot of parents have extra baggage their taking on these days!) than other toddlers his age. We're all in this journey of parenthood together, living life according to our bosses schedules, desires, needs and demands, but as I said before, some days are just a bit longer than others, but then, wow, the years pass so quickly!

In July, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper signed a bill into law that allows for school districts to install cameras on buses. The cameras would catch drivers who fail to stop or who attempt to pass while students are boarding or exiting a school bus, and allows for drivers who are apprehended to be given civil penalties or fines of $400 or more. The bill, appropriately titled the "School Bus Cameras and Civil Penalties Bill," will return all of the money collected by the fines to the county in which the infraction took place, according to a story on WNCN.
While new laws and steep fines will deter some drivers from passing school buses while they are picking up and dropping off students, these initiatives are often not enough. It is the responsibility of every driver on the road to be aware of school bus safety guidelines and to recognize when they are in a school zone, neighborhood, or another area where students are likely to be walking or crossing the street.
By slowing down, observing crosswalks and street signs, and being cautious when following school buses, drivers can reduce the number of pedestrian accidents that occur in school zones in our state and across the nation.
It is also important to note that the highest number of school-aged pedestrian accidents happen near schools and bus stops, so drivers should take extra precautions in these areas. In addition, the 10-foot radius around a school bus is the most dangerous area for students, so make sure to stop your vehicle far enough back to allow them to enter and exit the bus in a safe manner.
At Grimes Teich Anderson LLP, our firm helps protect the rights of traffic accident victims, including children hurt in school bus accidents. If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, or you have any general questions about car accident, please contact our team today to set up a free legal consultation. We proudly represent victims throughout Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina, including the communities of Spartanburg, Greenville, Waynesville, Franklin and Asheville.

The Rude Pundit: Fuck You, John McCain
Fuck You, John McCain(Note: I took this down for a couple of days because I said I would if John McCain voted down the worthless skinny repeal. He did and I did and now I'm putting it back up because there are many reasons to say, "Fuck you" to McCain. Not the least of those reasons is that he gave the Nero-like thumbs down to the skinny repeal in part because it wasn't cruel enough in taking health care away from millions. So, yeah, a few things are wrong, but the feelings are right.)I know there are people who are more responsible than Arizona Senator John McCain for the passage of the motion to proceed to dismantle health care coverage for millions of Americans and give a big ass tax cut to the wealthiest in the country. I know that there is still a long, long way to go before any actual legislation that does all that passes, although it really just seems like a fait accompli at this point. And I know, I know, Christ, fuck, I know that in some cosmic sense it's wrong to attack someone who has an aggressive form of brain cancer and just had a blood clot removed from behind his eyeball, that such suffering ought to be given respect. But fuck all that. Fuck you, John McCain, you petulant, pissant son of a bitch. Fuck you, fuck your legacy, fuck your pain, fuck your recovery, fuck your family, and fuck, fuck, fuck you. And I feel free to say that because, with his vote today to allow debate on some bullshit new health care plan, he said, "Fuck you" to hundreds of thousands of his state's constituents who will lose Medicaid coverage or be priced out of insurance or be pushed into some worthless policy. The saddest response to McCain's announcement yesterday that he was returning early to Washington to vote on the motion-to-proceed was the hope that the mythical maverick McCain would show up and, likely having no more elections to run, would do the right thing by voting "No." That McCain never existed, and, except for issues like torture, he has been as loyal a Republican as any flea on the hairs on Mitch McConnell's waxy balls. Of course he was coming back to dick people over. It's what he does. He's a motherfucker, like every other Republican motherfucker. Motherfuckers fuck mothers. How many times do I have to say this? They fuck mothers. It's right there in the word. If they get a chance to fuck a mother, they will fuck that mother because they are motherfuckers. And the repeal of the Affordable Care Act is like a sticky blood orgy of motherfuckery. By the time the process is over, Republicans will fuck every hole and carve some new ones to fuck.Not only did McCain vote, but then he saw fit to stand there and give a sanctimonious goddamned speech decrying how the Senate has become "more partisan, more tribal." He called for a return to some kind of era of comity, and he blamed both parties for what he sees as a breakdown in "regular order" in the Senate and the ability to work together. And all over the media, people acted like fuckin' Lancelot had just come riding in to save the day when it was really just a filthy one-eyed poodle with a chip on its shoulder and ankles to bite.Let's contextualize: "Regular order" was stabbed to death by Republicans during the Obama presidency when the Senate GOP decided that every bill would be filibustered when they were in the minority and any idea of the President's would be blocked when they got the majority. John McCain barely squeaked a single fart of protest out from between his saggy ass cheeks. In fact, again, except for torture (sometimes), he went along every single fucked up time that Republicans threw themselves in the way of legislation passed by the House. And then he blew shit up like a common terrorist when Republicans got the Senate back. "Regular order," motherfucker? Suck a pig dick.Shit, in his little vomit of a speech today, he smirked when he criticized Democrats for not engaging Republicans on the Affordable Care Act: "The Obama administration and congressional Democrats shouldn't have forced through Congress without any opposition support a social and economic change as massive as Obamacare." Bitch, there were ten months of hearings and 160 Republican amendments got into the bill. So make a dildo out of your complaint about regular order and shove it up your worn out sphincter.And let's contextualize further: What McCain voted for today was a phantom bill. It was a sham to get something out there so that the amendment process could start on the House bill. It was as far from regular order as having monkeys fuck on the floor of the Senate, although that's a fair analogy for what actually occurred. The final fucking insult from McCain today was that he once again pretended like he might be a maverick. He said, "Why don't we try the old way of legislating in the Senate, the way our rules and customs encourage us to act. If this process ends in failure, which seem likely, then let's return to regular order." If you think that McCain will do anything n

Connecting The Dots, Corruption, Education, Random Events, Free Will or Something Darker?
Jennifer Lawrence attests to the destructive power brought on by those who worship "Mother Nature".
In a recent British interview, Jennifer speaks of "Mother Nature's" wrath.
Mother nature or the worship of the elements is a common pagan practice. In fact that is what they worship or evoke.
In an attempt to "Bind" President Donald Trump, from accomplishing his agenda to: Fix the economy, Rebuild Airports, Dams, Highways and other infrastructure, all of which take money, "THE WITCHES" have evoked some of the most powerful hurricanes to date costing the Global Economy hundreds of billions of dollars, effectively blocking any good, President Trump was trying to do.
Destruction and it's worshipers are blinded to the fact that they did not bring good to America, but rather hurt millions upon millions of innocent people.
"THE WITCHES", have brought this destruction not wether you believe in global warming Jennifer.
"THE WITCHES" have brought destruction to millions of "Muggle's" as J.K. Rowling so eloquently channeled from the dark side,
NOTE: a Muggle is a person who lacks any sort of magical ability and was not born in a magical family. Muggles can also be described as people who do not have any magical blood inside them.
Wealthy people are not usually hurt by this destruction, instead the poor, needy, immigrant are usually hurt the most, including if the economy falters.
Is witchcraft really something Jennifer should be promoting?
Jennifer says "Mother Nature" did this because Trump doesn't believe men created global warming. So suddenly mother nature or the goddess responds in her wrath?
More accurately, the hate of humans and witches against President Trump, who evoke the same deities to create these hurricanes are directly to be credited for these storms and also prosecuted for the destruction and financial toll they created.
And for the record, one idiot witch please explain how this did ANYONE ANY GOOD?
The homosexual agenda's you promote do not take money to block.
This administrations leaders in key places still make policies.
The only thing the witches did was put American further in debt and hurt untold millions of people. For no good reason.
So who is the real devil here that all of society should hold accountable?
Those that practice these dark arts.
In fact this is not the first time the inhabitants of the world had to face these facts and deal with this:

"Authorities have informed us there is no sign of self harm at this point. … Please respect our grieving period," he wrote.The family friend said the Bollings are in a profound state of shock. Eric was their only child.Eric Bolling sometimes talked lovingly about his son on Fox News.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll – Rasmussen Reports™
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump's job performance. Fifty-four percent (54%) disapprove.The latest figures include 30% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 45% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15. (see trends).Regular updates are posted Monday through Friday at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily email update).The Trump Administration on Tuesday announced an end to DACA, the so-called "Dreamers" program, and gave Congress until March to provide a legislative solution to the problem of undocumented adults who arrived in the United States illegally as children.Critics claim illegal immigrants take jobs away from Americans, but voters tend to favor the continuation of the Obama-era program that protects from deportation illegal immigrants who came here as children.The House approved $7.9 billion in Hurricane Harvey disaster relief funds yesterday. More voters than ever now agree the clean-up and recovery efforts in situations like these should be the federal government's responsibility.Americans uniting as one, as they've done in Texas to battle Harvey, represents the true spirit of America, "a spirit of love, determination and resolve," President Trump has said. That American spirit is the subject of this week's Rasmussen Minute as yet another, potentially catastrophic hurricane tracks toward Florida. President Ronald Reagan said in his first inaugural address in 1981 that "government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." Voters still agree and hope Congress and the president don't blunt the cutting knife.President Trump this week also expressed his desire to shrink the corporate tax rate in order to boost job growth and help middle-class Americans. We will tell you at 10:30 a.m. Eastern whether voters believe that lowering the U.S. corporate tax rate will help or hurt the economy.

Tens of thousands of witches around the world join forces every month to cast a 'binding' spell on Donald Trump and 'protect' the world from his actions
TENS of thousands of witches around the world join forces every month to cast a "binding" spell on Donald Trump, Hollywood witch Vicky Adams has revealed. Vicky, who runs a renowned occult store in tinseltown, says the spell aims to stop the US President from reaping "harm and destruction" across the globe.
She says her shop has been inundated with people desperate to learn the spell and buy the ingredients – which include an orange candle to signify the President's trademark fake tanned skin.
The 49-year-old says the spell, which started in February, has now become a global phenomenon.
Dozens of witches were seen performing rituals outside Trump Tower earlier this year – just one week before a blaze inside the building.
As well as casting spells on the controversial President, Vicky said huge numbers of people are turning to witchcraft and black magic to help them deal with everything from boosting their love life – to cursing or exacting revenge on their enemies.
Even celebrities come in to her store, Panpipes Magickal Marketplace, looking for spells to help them land big movie roles.
Singer Lana Del Rey jumped on the Trump spell craze and tweeted instructions to her followers in February.
Vicky, 49, from Los Angeles, told SunOnline: "The Donald Trump spell is not a hex or a curse – it's binding Trump and any of his abetters to prevent them from causing harm and destruction to people, animals, the environment, everything.
"It's not just within the US – it's global at this point.
"Not everybody agrees with the spell even within the Pagan community – some people think there will be Karmic repercussions.
"I've been assisting people with setting up their tools – people have been coming in here seeking guidance especially when it first came out earlier this year.
"It takes place every waning moon, once a month – the next one is September 18th.
"There are probably tens of thousands of witches who take part – it's hard to know exactly – but certainly a great amount of witches are coming together every month to do this spell."It's not unheard of for witches to do things like this – in fact it's been done before decades back.
"In England there was a famous case where British witches helped stop the invasion of the Germans into the British Isles.
"They created a thought-form and everybody contributed to the spell and helped to stop the Nazi invasion."
To do the Trump spell, Vicky advises people to get some Tarot cards, an orange candle, an unflattering photo of Trump, some sage and a feather.
She says: "It involves the use of the tower card from the Tarot deck to represent his downfall – but that might as simple as they want his phone to break so he can't tweet at 3am in the morning anymore.
"You need an orange candle to represent him – you can guess why. Some people use little baby carrots.
"You need some sage and a feather. Some people have added their own components so they might add a figure candle.
"And you also need the most unflattering photo of Donald Trump that you can find. There are variations – some people might do a physical binding where they physically bind a picture of Trump with string or something.
"There's also words or a prayer that you recite which calls for a hindrance or absolute cessation of Trump and anyone who aids and abets him from causing harm to man, beast and land.
"It's a form of sympathetic magic and it's a very powerful thing."
The spell comes amid global outrage surrounding many of President Trump's policy decisions since he's been in the White House.
He's come under fire for his policy on building a wall between the US and Mexico and more recently for cancelling the Obama era DACA program, threatening the future of thousands of young immigrants in the US.
"The spell is not as negative as it might sound – nobody is calling for President Trump's death or anything – it's more along the lines of stopping congress passing his legislation," she explained.
"It's not binding him in every aspect of his life – just in his role as president – because lots of people perceive his actions as being very harmful and contrary to the wishes of the people of America."
Vicky has people from all walks of life coming into her Los Angeles store to buy occult supplies such as pentagrams, herbs, gargoyles, crystals, cauldrons – and even daggers.
She estimates there are thousands of witches' covens just in LA alone – with new ones popping up every day.
"It's a lot more common than people might think – you might be living next door to a witch and have no idea because we're not stereotypical with the pointy hats and the warty noses – the people who come in the shop reflect that," she said.
"I have lawyers, doctors, policemen, nurses, housewives, students – everyone comes in here. I also have Christo-witches who are practicing Christians and witches. I have Satanists and people who work with demonology – I do not discriminate against anybody.
"I get well-known celebrities and actors coming in – and not so well-known ones. Pretty much everyone is looking for love, success, happiness, protection."
Vicky claims that Paganism is rapidly growing in popularity.
"You can see it reflected in so many TV shows and movies that are centred around witchcraft," she said.
"Just scrolling through Instagram it's witch, witch witch, it's become fashionable. It wasn't 20 years ago but it is now.
"I think it's growing in popularity because people are very dissatisfied with organised religion. A lot of us come from Christian backgrounds and we're fed up of the limitations placed on us – particularly women. Paganism is all-embracing – it accepts all and there's no judgement."
Vicky, who practices black and white magic including Voodoo and ritual magic, says she can help people exorcise demonic spirits from their homes, improve their sex life, get a job or improve their finances.
She also has clients coming in with darker objectives – such as to curse or hex an enemy.
"Hexes and curses are real you are using a very powerful force – you are using the planetary influence of Saturn or Mars," she explains.
"Any powerful emotion is also going to make a spell more powerful.
"A curse can make somebody ill or bring absolute devastation and destruction to someone on their family or their ancestors. It can make you lose all your worldly possessions.
"It can make you lose your health – it can cause death – it can cause a loss of everyone you love.
"I'm not one to curse someone it's not really my style but I'm not going to condemn someone for doing it either.
"I don't agree with it but it's their choice and something they're going to have to answer to at the end of the day.
"If someone comes in wanting to do something negative I won't try to talk them out of it but I will advise them of possible consequences.
"You have to feel justified in your actions otherwise you will be your own undoing."
Many of the requests she gets relate to customer's love life – and as well as herbs and oils to carry out love spells she also sells special sex candles – which she claims can make people impotent – or stop them from cheating.
"Yes I have candles shaped like men and women's genitals – the black ones are for hexes to make a scorned lover impotent," she explains.
"The red is to make somebody more potent or to bind someone to you sexually so they don't stray. Blue and white are more healing.
"The black female candle can lower someone's sex drive or give them a skin disease or something.
"You can do spells to make somebody fall in love with you but that's one of the spells I think has a great potential to backfire.
"Everybody has their own free will but if you insist on bending somebody's will and you persistently work on them you can make them fall in love with you.
"But it's a very ego-driven conquest so when you get the person, chances are you don't want them anymore but it's too late because you've created a stalker or possible psychopath somebody dangerous who will kill you because they are so obsessed with you. You have created a monster.
"I don't advise that – I've seen people get cancer, start to lose their status in society even become incarcerated – it starts to turn inwardly.
"I don't tell people what to do – but I do advise them of the consequences."

William Friedkin on Shooting a Real Exorcism: 'It Was Terrifying!' | Variety
When William Friedkin shot "The Exorcist" in 1973, he had never seen an exorcism, though even at the time he believed in the power of this rite. Decades later, the U.S. director came full circle when he was able to film one close up — involving violent thrashing, foaming at the mouth and screaming — thanks to Father Gabriele Amorth, who performed exorcisms for the Vatican's Rome Diocese. The result is documentary "The Devil and Father Amorth," which screened at the Venice Film Festival. Friedkin spoke to Variety about the experience.How did you and Father Amorth connect?I was familiar with his books, four or five of which are translated into English. And I knew that he was kindly disposed towards "The Exorcist" movie, even though he had said the special effects were over the top. He felt that it helped people to understand his work. I had never tried to meet him; I never thought I could. But I was in Lucca [Italy] a year or so ago…and someone casually mentioned that Lucca was about a half-hour drive to Pisa…where there was an airport where I could catch a one-hour flight to Rome. Something clicked, and through a friend I was able to write Father Amorth. Two days later he wrote me back, and said he would meet me.RELATEDVenice Film Review: Kirsten Dunst in 'Woodshock'So it was your idea?Yes. This idea just popped onto my head. I call it providential. I had an inner voice that said to me, "I wonder if I could meet Father Amorth?"It's a known fact that Amorth was a fan of "The Exorcist." It's really so wonderful that in that film you had been able to capture something that resonated for him, even without doing that much research into the specifics of what he did.There is no research; the only research is his books. In the United States in the 20th century, there were two reported cases of possession, as far as Mr. Blatty [who wrote the novel "The Exorcist"] and I could tell. There were only two cases that had any substantial writing about them in the United States….The church doesn't say a lot about this. They don't try to publicize it at all. They are not promoting it. I doubt that they will even have a position about my film [this latest one]. They never comment about these things. I doubt that they would have given me permission to do what I did. He gave me permission, and he operated quite independently from church procedure and was openly critical of the Vatican.The amazing thing is that you were able to get access to a real exorcism so easily.I was shocked. I had no idea that I would ever be able to even meet with him. I did know how busy he was. He was doing exorcisms all day every day right up until he went into the hospital and then died [in September 2016].RELATEDVenice Film Review: George Clooney's 'Suburbicon'Why do you think you got the access?I think I came along at a time when he wanted people to become aware of this work because he wanted the Vatican to train more exorcists. He believed that I had enough cachet to take his story…that I would be able to bring it to the public by way of a film.Tell me about the shoot. I had to shoot it alone, obviously. The conditions were that I come along with no crew and no lights. So I used a Sony still camera that shot high-definition video. I had only that camera running and I was about two feet away from them, probably even closer.What was the experience of witnessing a real exorcism so close up like?It was terrifying. I went from being afraid of what could happen to feeling a great deal of empathy with this woman's pain and suffering, which is obvious in the film.As I understand it, Amorth had been doing exorcisms on her for some time.The one that I filmed was her ninth, and she was having one a month.You have subsequently consulted with scientists in the U.S. about what you witnessed and filmed. What did they say?I consulted with neurologists, brain surgeons, some of the best in the United States. The brain surgeons had no idea what her affliction was and none of them would recommend an operation. They believe that everything originates in the brain but — and they say this in the film — they have never seen anything quite like these symptoms….Then the psychiatrists…all described how psychiatry now recognizes demonic possession. It's called dissociative identity disorder/demonic possession. And if a patient comes in and says they are possessed by a demon or a devil, they don't tell them that they are not….They do whatever psychiatric treatment they think is necessary, including medication. And they bring an exorcist in.

The Ranger Rosary Ministry makes rugged combat rosaries by hand which are shipped to our service men and women throughout the world. The rosaries are distributed by military chaplains to deployed soldiers, stateside bases, and veteran hospitals. For durability and safety purposes, the rosaries are made from parachute cord, dark beads and dark plastic crucifixes that do not rattle or reflect light.
Another dimension of our ministry is our Prayer Tree. Ribbons are tied on the Prayer Tree bearing the names of our parish's loved ones who are serving in the military and as first responders. Parishioners have even tied ribbons for their loved one's police dogs who have saved their handler's life three times! Every week at our meeting, we say a rosary and pray for our Lord's peace to reign in the world and raise up with special intention all our service men and women, military chaplains, first responders, veterans, their families, and their working K9 heroes, especially those listed on our Prayer Tree.
All Saints Catholic Church is part of a network of churches all over the country that make Ranger Rosaries. One million combat Ranger Rosaries have been made and sent to over 900 Chaplains of many denominations around the world by this network of rosary makers. NATO Chaplains from 18 countries are asking for them too. Stateside bases order as many as 1,000 per month; military hospitals ask for them also.
Anyone can learn to make a Ranger Rosary. No special skills are required. We'll teach you to be an expert rosary maker in no time and you'll have fun with our warm and welcoming group! We meet every Friday at 10:00 a.m. in the Parish Life Center. Our meetings change from time to time, so if we were not there on a Friday, please connect with Vivian for the next meeting date. All are welcome!
Anyone interested in participating in Ranger Rosary should contact Vivian Peralta-Mesa for more information.

What song is at the beginning of come and get it?
What song did the Beatles write for Badfinger?
What is Badfinger biggest hit?
Selena Gomez's 'Come & Get It' sample of Bollywood Sounds's 'Dachee' | WhoSampled.
Who sang the beginning of come and get it?
The song was one of the last songs to be recorded for the album in early 2013. "Come & Get It" features a change in style from Gomez's previous releases, and features elements of electropop, dance-pop and Indian music….Come & Get It (Selena Gomez song)
"Come & Get It"
Released April 7, 2013
Who was Come and Get It written about?
The song was released a few months after Gomez's split from her former boyfriend Justin Bieber. Fans immediately began speculating that with such lyrics as, "This love ain't finished yet," the tune was a message to her ex that she wanted to get back together. However, the singer denied this was the case.
The band renamed themselves Badfinger, after the working title for the Beatles' 1967 song "With a Little Help from My Friends" ("Bad Finger Boogie").
Does bad liar sample psycho killer?
Selena Gomez has released a new song, "Bad Liar." It features a prominent sample of Talking Heads' 1977 single "Psycho Killer." Hear the song below. Billboard reports that David Byrne "wholeheartedly gave his permission" for the sample's use after hearing the song and liking it.
Was Badfinger really The Beatles?
The band evolved from an earlier group called the Iveys, formed in 1961, which became the first group signed by the Beatles' Apple label in 1968. The band renamed themselves Badfinger, after the working title for the Beatles' 1967 song "With a Little Help from My Friends" ("Bad Finger Boogie").
Come and Get It
They were one of the first groups signed to the label, and Paul McCartney wrote and produced their breakthrough single, 'Come and Get It. ' Their biggest hit, 'Day by Day,' was produced by George Harrison and features his distinctive guitar playing.

Comparative trial of benzhexol, amantadine, and levodopa in the treatment of Parkinson's disease
J. D. Parkes,
R. C. Baxter,
C. D. Marsden,
J. E. Rees
The University Department of Neurology, Parkinson's Disease Clinic, King's College Hospital, London
The Maudsley Hospital, London
Fourteen slightly disabled patients with Parkinsonism were treated separately with benzhexol, amantadine, and levodopa. Benzhexol and amantadine both gave a 15% reduction in functional disability and levodopa a 36% reduction. Benzhexol lessened the rigidity and improved the flexion of posture of Parkinson's disease, but had little or no effect on akinesia and tremor. Amantadine and levodopa caused improvement in all these symptoms. The combination of benzhexol and amantadine was as effective after four weeks of treatment as levodopa was after six months.

Kuo predicts iPhone shipments for the quarter will drop by ten percent due to the coronavirus
Christian Zibreg ∙ Updated March 4, 2020
The most reliable Apple analyst has no doubt in his mind that the coronavirus outbreak will impact iPhone sales, prompting him to cut his shipment guidance by ten percent.
This was mentioned in Kuo's research note with TF International Securities, seen by CNBC last night, in which the revered analyst cautions that there are indications that the iPhone supply is being indeed affected by the coronavirus outbreak in China, a 1.4 billion people country.
Here's an excerpt from his note to clients:
Our latest survey indicates that the iPhone supply is being affected by the coronavirus and, therefore, we cut the iPhone shipment forecasts by ten percent in the first quarter of 2020. It's difficult to predict the shipments in the second quarter because of the uncertainties of the coronavirus epidemic and consumer confidence.
The ten percent shipment decrease puts Kuo's iPhone shipments estimate for this quarter at approximately 36-40 million units. For guidance, the analyst previously estimated that the Cupertino tech giant had shipped about 38 million iPhones during the first quarter of last year.
As you probably know, Apple no longer reports iPhone unit sales.
The analyst also mentioned in his research note to clients that overall smartphone shipments in China declined by as much as 50-60 percent annually during the Chinese New Year holiday period, a drop that he chalks up to eroding consumer confidence due to the coronavirus.
The coronavirus outbreak has already affected many businesses and continues to negatively impact the world's economy so it's no surprise at all that it's causing Apple's global supply chain produce fewer handsets moving into the second quarter.
Besides, Apple's boss Tim Cook warned in the earnings call last week that the coronavirus could affect revenues for the quarter, prompting the company's leadership to set a $4 billion revenue guidance range between $63 billion and $67 billion.
According to the newest numbers Monday from China's National Health Commission, there have been 17,205 cases of coronavirus in the country and 361 deaths so far. Be sure to check out the organization's official website to educate yourself on the latest about the coronavirus and how to protect yourself.

F differences in atmosphere (Yashin et al. 2010). The incredibly long-lived do not lack threat alleles for prevalent complex ailments Various recent studies have shown that centenarians usually do not carry smaller sized numbers of danger alleles for frequent complicated diseases than average people today. In an essential paper in 2010, Beekman et al. (2010) studied two case/control collections: (1) 723 nonagenarian siblings (imply age 94) PubMed ID:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20053638 from the LLS vs. 721 unrelated younger controls (imply age 52), and (2) 979 long-lived folks more than 85 (imply age 87) from the pop-based Leiden 85 study vs. 1,167 younger controls (imply age 41) from the Netherlands Twin Register. They looked at 30 SNPs identified to be related with CVD, cancer or type 2 diabetes (T2D). The circumstances and controls each carried an average of 27 GSK2837808A biological activity disease danger alleles. The distribution of threat alleles was precisely the same in elderly and young subjects. Beekman et al. note that "GWAS-identified disease danger alleles usually do not compromise human longevity" and suggest that a lack of rare illness aspects, or the presence of protective factors, is at operate inside the longlived men and women. It is significant to note, having said that, that CVD, cancer, and T2D are ailments that have incredibly clear life style components and that aspect of your impact might be as a consequence of way of life differences. Mooijaart et al. (2011) extended this observation the following year, showing that "SNPs linked with T2D and identified by GWAS aren't major determinants of your beneficial glucose tolerance that characterizes familial longevity." They compared the offspring in the LLS longlived individuals together with the offspring's spouses and also other controls. The LLS offspring had a superior metabolic profile and much better glucose tolerance than same-age controls, though the frequency of 15 identified T2D SNPs did not differ amongst the two groups. When individuals had been compared within each group, however, glucose levels did correlate together with the variety of T2D SNPs. They speculate that the LLS offspring may have protective factors that boost their metabolic profile and glucose tolerance in spite from the presence of T2D GWAS SNPs. This comparison, making use of same-age groups of folks, clearly points to protective genetic variables contributing to preservation ofa healthful phenotype, rather than lifestyle and environmental aspects that need to be incredibly similar (at the least in adulthood) in between the offspring and their spouses. Sebastiani et al. (2012) also noted that there was not a substantial distinction in the numbers of 1,214 recognized disease-associated SNPs in centenarians and controls. A related observation was created in their complete genome sequence data from one male and 1 female supercentenarian (Sebastiani et al. 2011). These essential and maybe surprising results show that intense longevity, and the long-term very good health that normally accompanies it, is not incompatible with the presence of numerous disease danger alleles. At least for the prevalent SNPs related with frequent complex illnesses, it really is not the absence of `bad' alleles, but much more most likely the presence of `good' alleles that influences longevity, although effects of `good' environmental elements might also contribute. Protective factors of some sort might let these threat variants to not be manifest. These outcomes also have implications beyond the study of longevity–in an age when substantial work is being invested in customized disease danger prediction, the presence of numerous disease alleles that are nonpenetrant in some folks potentially compli.

Q: Edit button doesn't show error in the review queue I was reviewing first posts and noticed that I could not edit one of the posts (I had too many pending edits), normally there is an error message to explain this, however there isn't in the review queue (this is reproducible by me?):

I realise this is similar to Why is the edit button disabled? and Show when edits are pending to avoid "why can't I edit this" however I do know why it is disabled (I checked by trying to edit on a normal question) and the feature has status-completed (and is working outside of the review queues)
Is this a bug or intentional behaviour?

Dr John Cooper Clarke & Hugh Cornwall at Manchester O2 Ritz
To celebrate the critically acclaimed release of Dr John Cooper Clarke and esteemed singer / songwriter (and founding member of The Stranglers) Hugh Cornwell's debut new album This Time It's Personal, the duo will embark on a UK tour throughout November and December.
By Steven Pankhurst | November 10th '16
To celebrate the critically acclaimed release of Dr John Cooper Clarke and esteemed singer / songwriter (and founding member of The Stranglers) Hugh Cornwell's debut new album This Time It's Personal, the duo will embark on a UK tour throughout November and December. Performing across some of the UK's major cities, the seven-date run will kick off in Cambridge at The Junction on Saturday 26th November and runs until Friday 9th December at Glasgow O2 ABC.
Bringing together two influential gents within their own fields of the arts, this is a full band show featuring the entire 'This Time Its Personal' album, Plus, classics from both John and Hugh's careers performed together, including 'No More Heroes', '36 Hours', 'Nice N' Sleazy' 'I Wanna be Yours' and more!
Dr Clarke and Cornwell teamed up to release their first album This Time It's Personal, on 14th October via Sony Music. The fact that these two giants of punk and new wave are together on record for the first time is remarkable enough. But the album, which features ten hand-picked songs reflecting the pair's shared love of classic American and British pop they grew up with, has a knockout punchline. With not a spoken word in sight by Dr Clarke, nor a distinctive growling Cornwell vocal, This Time It's Personal (produced by Hugh) announces John's debut, at the age of 67, as a lead vocalist, with Hugh playing all guitars.
With sharp-witted poet Dr Clarke, and Cornwell at the forefront of the brilliantly incisive and innovative Stranglers, each has been widely recognised for their influence on later generations of British artists but this album brought them together for the first time. Celebrating their musical education in 2016, the duo will head out on the road this November for a string of very special shows.
Don't miss your chance to see these influential legends as they take to the stage together for this unique evening of music.

Alison Weir: Israel's New Travel Ban
I want to go to Palestine – a country recognized by 136 countries around the world. But your law, astoundingly, prevents me from visiting that country. You control entry and exit to the places I want to visit, even though they're not part of your territory, or included in your exclusive democracy.
Palestinian women, overseen by Israeli guards, crowd around the Qalandia checkpoint in the West Bank as they try to enter Jerusalem to attend Friday prayers at the Al Aqsa mosque. (BBC News Image 8 of 10, Sept 22, 2009.)
Alison Weir, Dissident Voice, March 20, 2017
Dear Israeli Government:
You've recently banned foreigners who support boycotts against Israel or Israeli settlements from being allowed to enter Israel – even Jewish foreigners, a first for the self-proclaimed Jewish state. After all, your "Law of Return" has allowed (and encouraged) Jewish foreigners to freely immigrate to Israel, even as multitudes of Palestinians have been banned from returning to their homes.
People throughout the Western world have objected in outrage to your new law, particularly Jewish Westerners who have family and connections in Israel from whom they'll be cut off in retaliation for their political positions.
Critics, even some who oppose boycotting Israel and who have had no problem with excluding Palestinians, have called out the law for diverse reasons: its quashing of free debate and political expression, its anti-democratic nature, how it will affect them and others personally.
I support these objections.
But I'm not trying to visit Israel.
I want to go to Bethlehem and Nablus, Ramallah and Hebron, Jenin and Tulkarem. I hope to return to Khan Yunis, Rafah, Gaza City, and numerous other towns and villages in the West Bank and Gaza.
In other words, I want to go to Palestine – a country recognized by 136 countries around the world. But your law, astoundingly, prevents me from visiting that country. You control entry and exit to the places I want to visit, even though they're not part of your territory, or included in your exclusive democracy.
When I was born, Palestine referred to the whole of the land that your founders then ethnically cleansed and renamed. Now, it officially refers to a few segments of land, surrounded and trapped.
Unlike the residents of every other country on earth, Palestinians are not free to travel to and from their own country unless a foreign country gives them permission – a normally universal right that you routinely deny: to young and old, Muslims and Christians, professors and paupers, men and women.
Visitors are similarly obstructed. You decide whether they can get in, and whether they can get out.
When I try to visit Bethlehem, for example, I must face your armed soldiers manning the Kafkaesque, towering concrete wall you have erected on Palestinian land. These gun-toting youngsters will decree whether or not I and others – including Palestinian descendants of Bethlehem's ancient shepherds – can pass through.
In other words, Israel is essentially imprisoning over 4 million men, women, and children (with some help from Egypt, its proxy to the south). Israeli jailers, euphemistically "border guards," determine who may even visit this incarcerated population, and what supplies may reach them.
Over the years I've seen you prevent numerous individuals and groups, many bringing medicines and life-saving supplies, from visiting this captive population. You've blocked sons from visiting dying mothers, suffering children from receiving critical medical care, malnourished toddlers from receiving help.
It is a profound shame upon the world that this cruel and unconscionable condition has been permitted to persist year after year. There should have been massive and irresistible objections long before your recent legislation.
I remember when the United States opposed the Iron Curtain. Today, the U.S. gives the perpetrator of this current captivity $10 million per day.
Israel already denied me entry once 15 years ago, locking me up for 28 hours in a detention cell in Ben Gurion Airport before expelling me. I remember Israeli officials telling me I was not "allowed into Israel." They didn't even supply a reason.
Next time, they may say it's because I endorse BDS, which I wholeheartedly do.
But I'm not trying to go to Israel. I want to go to Palestine.

Opinion: You're so vain
February 7, 2012 | By Eddie Cameron
More: Console/PC, Design, Business/Marketing
[In this reprinted #altdevblogaday opinion piece, Grapefruit Games' Eddie Cameron explains why he believes "the mainstream game industry is in serious danger of following the same route as comic books."]
Games and gamers are a pretty self-involved bunch. We make games that are impossible to play without a couple years practice, games with communities that are hostile to "outsiders," and games that talk, sometimes literally, about themselves. Are we still so insecure that we're afraid to explore other fields or audiences?
I touched on this problem in my last AltDevBlog post, Talkback Games. "Gamers" as an audience are easy, we know the input language that game systems expect, and games feed back the language that players expect. Gamers know that an ammo stockpile means you're about to meet a boss, or that you need to quicksave often, etc�
So yes, making games that reach outside this system is harder. Not only do you have to make simple or easily taught interfaces, but feedback has to be intuitive to non-gamers. However, I don't think that blaming the lack of accessible mainstream games on lazy devs is either accurate or fair.
Can we blame the audience? The game community is known for its outspokenness, and studios have to work under the watchful eye of a legion of fans. Try to make a more accessible PC game and be accused of pandering to consoles. Make a sequel that departs too much from the original(s) and no one buys your game.
The fickleness of audiences, and studios too willing to pander to them produces an industry afraid of change. This is hardly a new statement, but people seem to accept it. The mainstream game industry is in serious danger of following the same route as comic books. Readers became so averse to new series that publishers stopped making them, instead making countless crossovers that sold well, but were of no interest to non-fans.
Today, comics are most definitely a cult industry, with the top-sellers only popular due to film/TV adaptations. We can only avoid the same fate if gamers become willing to spend their money on different games. Smaller, different games can still sell well (obligatory Minecraft reference) so is the audience really so afraid to try new things?
Something else is holding developers back. The "art" or "Art" debate is tiring now, but many of the popular "Art" games cited are those that dissect other games.
BioShock as comment on gamers' lack of narrative control, The Stanley Parable as rant against traditional narratives in games. The audience might find it interesting, but in the end, players don't care about theories of game design, they just want a good game.
There is a danger of creating a culture that just wants to talk about itself, like some unintentional parody of post-modernism. Repeating a statement about game mechanics isn't noteworthy, you have to use it to help another statement.
Shadow of the Colossus uses gamers' urge to continue to make a tragedy, the player realizes the horror of what they are doing, but is unable to stop. I just watched The Artist, and although at first I thought it was exploiting the style of silent films as a gimmick, it plays with the format to enhance the story. It uses this knowledge of film techniques to make something new, interesting beyond a pastiche.
So where does all this come from, and why can't we stop? Perhaps we can blame the stereotype of the "gamer nerd." Games have been looked down on for most of their existence, maybe we've just given up trying to reach out to new players.
We turned to the art world in an attempt to justify all this to ourselves. A museum is a terrible place to put games, yet we parade them there to get the approval of "real" artists. But we don't need them, we have the attention of the wider world and it wants to play games, as Zynga has shown.
We need to stop looking at the magic mirror and make games for everyone else.
[This piece was reprinted from #AltDevBlogADay, a shared blog initiative started by @mike_acton devoted to giving game developers of all disciplines a place to motivate each other to write regularly about their personal game development passions.]
