Marco Antonio Órdenes Fernández (* 29. Oktober 1964 in Iquique, Región de Tarapacá, Chile) ist ein chilenischer ehemaliger Geistlicher und ehemaliger Bischof von Iquique.

Leben
Der Bischof von Iquique, Enrique Troncoso Troncoso, spendete ihm am 14. Dezember 1996 die Priesterweihe.

Papst Benedikt XVI. ernannte ihn am 23. Oktober 2006 zum Bischof von Iquique. Die Bischofsweihe spendete ihm der Erzbischof von Santiago de Chile, Francisco Javier Kardinal Errázuriz Ossa ISch, am 18. November desselben Jahres; Mitkonsekratoren waren Pablo Lizama Riquelme, Erzbischof von Antofagasta, und Francisco Javier Prado Aránguiz SSCC, Bischof von Rancagua. Als Wahlspruch wählte er Amar, Servir y Confiar.

Am 9. Oktober 2012 nahm Benedikt XVI. sein Rücktrittsgesuch an.
Papst Franziskus entließ ihn (und den früheren Erzbischof Francisco Cox) am 13. Oktober 2018 wegen sexuellen Missbrauchs von Minderjährigen aus dem Klerikerstand. In beiden Fällen wurde Artikel 21 Paragraph 2, Nummer 2 der vatikanischen Normen über die Untersuchung und Ahndung schwerwiegenderer kirchenrechtlicher Vergehen (Normae de gravioribus delictis) angewendet, die erstmals mit dem Motu Proprio Sacramentorum sanctitatis tutela aus dem Jahr 2001 erlassen wurden.

Marco Antonio Órdenes gehört zu den sieben chilenischen Bischöfen, gegen die wegen unterschiedlicher Verwicklungen in die Missbrauchsaffäre in der römisch-katholischen Kirche in Chile staatsanwaltliche Ermittlungen geführt werden.

Japan: Red Cross Red Crescent Movement sets up website to reunite families affected by earthquake and tsunami
11-03-2011 News Release 11/55
Thousands of people in Japan and elsewhere have lost contact with family members because of the earthquake and tsunami. The areas particularly affected are the prefectures of Miyagi, Fukushima, Tochigi and Ibaraki.
Geneva (ICRC) – Thousands of people in Japan and elsewhere have lost contact with family members because of the earthquake and tsunami. The areas particularly affected are the prefectures of Miyagi, Fukushima, Tochigi and Ibaraki.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), working closely with the Japanese Red Cross, has launched a special Family Links website (www.familylinks.icrc.org) to help people seeking to re-establish contact with family members and friends missing since the earthquake and tsunami.
People in Japan and abroad can register on the website to inform their family and friends that they are safe and provide their current contact details, while those looking for people can check the list for information. They can also register the names of missing family members and friends, encouraging them to get in touch.
The humanitarian service provided by the website is available to all and is free of charge. For more information on how to use the service, members of the public can contact their nearest Red Cross or Red Crescent office or visit www.familylinks.icrc.org

A new formalism for small field dosimetry has been proposed (Alfonso et al., 2008) with the concept of an additional correction factor k((fclin,fmsr)(Qclin,Qmsr)) which accounts for possible changes in detector response with field size. The aim of this work was to evaluate the response of eight commercially available detectors, then to provide a set of correction factors for a 1000 MU/min CyberKnife® equipped with fixed collimators and to compare them with those obtained for the 800 MU/min CyberKnife® version.
Measurements were performed on a 1000 MU/min CyberKnife® with several active detectors designed for small field dosimetry (two chambers (PTW 31014 and 31018), three high resolution diodes (PTW 60016, 60017 and Sun Nuclear EDGE), a natural diamond (PTW 60003) and two passive dosimeters (Harshaw TLD-7007LiF:Mg,Ti thermoluminescent micro-cube and EBT3 radiochromic films). The CyberKnife® as well as the diode detectors, the PinPoint chamber, the diamond and the LiF micro-cubes were modeled with the PENELOPE Monte Carlo code in order to calculate the output factors in a point-like voxel of water (OFMC,w). A set of k((fclin,fmsr)(Qclin,Qmsr)) correction factors for the active detectors investigated is provided for the 1000 MU/min CyberKnife® in order to be used with the new formalism. A difference up to 2.4%, 2.0 and 1.7% in the correction factor obtained for the two different CyberKnife® models is found for the PTW 60003, the PTW 60016 and the PTW 60017 respectively. Although this difference is small, we recommend using specific with the concept of an additional correction factor k((fclin,fmsr)(Qclin,Qmsr)) correction factors for the 1000 MU/min CyberKnife® when they are available.

Femi Fani-Kayode reveals that every President from North West always died or remove from office
Former minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode published an interesting research for Nigerians.
He revealed how Presidents from North are always removed from office.
Here him…
"Every single son of the South West that has been President or Vice President has come from Ogun state. They are Ogundipe, Obasanjo, Shonekan, Diya and now Osinbajo.
"Every single Head of State that has had a number two from Ogun state has died in office.
"They are Aguiyi-Ironsi whose number 2 was Ogundipe.
"Murtala Mohammed whose number 2 was Obasanjo.
"Sani Abacha whose number 2 was Diya.
"Buhari's number 2 is Osinbajo (from Ogun state).
"Let us hope the curse is broken and he does not go the same way.
Again consider this:
"Every single President, Prime Minister or Head of State from the CORE north (namely NW and NE) has either been removed from office in a military coup d'etat or been killed or died whilst on the throne.
"They are Tafawa Balewa, Murtala Mohammed, Shehu Shagari, Muhammadu Buhari (1st coming), Abacha and Yar'adua.
"Buhari (2nd coming) is presently on the throne. Let us hope the curse is broken and that it does not affect him.
"As a good Christian, I am pointing all this out for one reason alone: so that we can pray for him according to 1 Timothy 2: 1, though the scripture did not tell us precisely what the prayer point should be.
This is something to remember

Can any follower of Christianity explain how the hell they accomplish the mental juggling necessary to allow a female bishop? It clearly states in your bible that women should remain quiet in church yet you lot claim to follow the bible. (Corinthians 14:34).
The mind boggles at the level of mental gymnastics going on!
Jez Field, you're usually quite good at explaining stuff like this..help out a heathen!
Love your question, assuming it is a question and not just a 'here's something I don't understand - and aren't religious people stupid because of it!' - sort of question I'll have a go at answering it.
There's a lot that could be said but 2 things that I think are worth pointing out.
1) I think the Anglicans are wrong to do so. 2) The 1 Corinthians isn't prohibiting women talking in a gathered setting as you might think.
1: I love the church of England. I love a lot about it and I count many people within its tradition as friends, but I can still disagree with them on things that aren't the central tenants of the faith.
The issue is over church governance.
First: The New Testament is clear that men and women are completely equal in every respect. There are several sections of the NT that make this perfectly and emphatically clear. It's a subject for a different topic but Christians were the first true feminists and defenders of women's rights in an age when it wasn't popular to endorse such things. A reason why so many women converted to Christianity in the early centuries (and now) was because of the liberating and empowering esteem women are held in.
Second: Although they are equal in every way, the Bible also makes it clear that men and women have different roles. Men are called to take responsibility for the protection and provision of their families (I chose the words 'take responsibility for' carefully as this can be applied in a myriad of different ways). Biologically women are life carriers and nurturers and men protectors. This ought not to be controversial but in an age where even gender is under attack it unfortunately is. Men are called to be fathers to their children (obvious right) and a Father is one who, as well as protecting, takes the blame for and carries the can for the shortcomings and mistakes of his family. I believe in the significance of fathers which again shouldn't be controversial but sadly it is.
Third: The church is described in relational and familial terms. One of the prevailing metaphors is of the church being a 'family'. Men are called to be the 'dads' to this family. As such the church in the New Testament organised itself in this way: 'elders' - men of good character given the responsibility to protect and father the church, & 'deacons' - men and women of good character who lead on behalf of and in relationship with the elders.
That, again shouldn't be too controversial, but add to it stories of chauvinism, abusive leadership and a failure to understand that Jesus' model for leadership was that of someone laying their life down (on a brutal cross in his case) and it becomes explosive.
The CofE created a role of church oversight in 'Bishops' that isn't found in the New Testament. A bishop oversees several churches sort of like a super-head in today's schools.
Now. Once you've traded a New Testament model of church governance (elders and deacons) I think it becomes a lot harder to remain faithful in applying the biblical system of church leadership. Among many reasons, this is one of the reasons they've (CofE) got into hot water over this issue. They've created a leadership structure that looks a lot more hierarchical than it does familial. Add the fact that what the New Testament clearly teaches about the way a church community ought to be organised is difficult for an egalitarian liberal secular society to wrap its head around and you've got a storm brewing. Especially since the CofE is so closely linked to the state it was always going to 'hit the fan' at some point.
2) 1 Corinthians. Let me answer this very briefly. The book itself is a letter written by someone in leadership over the church. It is full of statements that require us to understand the context into which he was writing the letter. It shouldn't sound like I'm doing 'mental gymnastics' to point out that every letter ever written addresses themes that are relevant to that particular audience at that particular time and might not therefore apply to everyone everywhere in all cultures and civilisations.
The author of the letter is not telling women to keep silent whenever the church gathers. How do I know? The letter is full of encouragements to speak in church: singing, prophesying, speaking in other languages, bringing words of encouragement. The statements are addressed to the 'corinthians' (recipients of the letter) and no prohibitions are made for one gender or the other. In the chapter you mention the author is very clearly addressing a particular issue that had arisen in the church and is likely written to a particular group of women (known to the church) who were causing trouble in the gathered setting.
Imagine for a moment. A woman in 1st Century Roman society becomes a Christian and for the first time in her life is told that she is equal to a man and has the same value, worth and dignity as a man. She's allowed to receive an education, listen to and engage with teaching in church and discuss things freely. In this case there were some women who needed to 'reign it in a bit' since their new found freedom had gotten out of control and had become disruptive.
I have a friend who's doing his PHD in 1 Corinthians (yes they give out doctorates for such things - I'd like to see your face right now! J).
If you've made it this far, you're a generous man.
Hope that answers things a bit.
Much love. How's the squash??

Twenty five members and friends came down to the Club on Sunday July 1st to volunteer to carry out painting and gardening jobs around the site, as we prepare for the start of the season.
In baking hot conditions all chose to have breakfast first on the balcony before commencing their tasks and then started to work painting pitch side barriers, benches, new safety barriers around the club, planting trees donated by members and clearing the stream. One member even painted the pitch posts with the club colours.
Frequent stoppages for cold drinks throughout helped as they toiled in the hot sun.
Afterwards burgers and cold drinks were provided and all agreed the ground looked superb.
Still further work to do but a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all who gave their time so freely.
Still continue to meet every Wednesday morning throughout the summer. Meet for 9.30am to carry out general maintainance work and finish for lunch. Alternatively meet any time during the week and see Sprog for a task. Painting and gardening tasks always to complete.


The Yuki line of kitchen knives is constructed from White #2 carbon steel. This is one of the most popular steels used in making kitchen knives as it has an innate ability to take a very fine edge while being fairly easy to sharpen. Blacksmith Yoshimi Kato, clads the inner core with a softer stainless steel to add strength and durability to the blade. While the cladding reduces the need for constant maintenance, care still needs to be taken to prevent corrosion on the exposed edge. The outer core, which is also called the jigane, is given a very attractive nashiji, or pear skin, finish.
With a blade length of about 210mm, these chef knives are a perfect tool for any kitchen. They can tackle just about any cutting, chopping, or slicing task. They have a reasonably tall blade height which will be appreciated by those who like extra finger-to-board clearance. It is also a compact blade that will find favor with most home users and professionals working in tighter environments. The knife features a short flat heel which transitions to a gentle curved belly which should please users of all styles of cutting techniques.
The blade is coupled to a really well finished custom handle that perfectly complements the balance and aesthetic of this fine chef knife.

Sum 41's Deryck Whibley: my top 6 tips for songwriters
By Rich Chamberlain
Pop-punk hero on guitar tones, lyrics and his songwriting journey
(Image credit: Mairo Cinquetti/REX/Shutterstock)
I don't find it hard to juggle the role of songwriting, playing and producing...
Since first blasting into the mainstream with pop-punk upstarts Sum 41 at the turn of the millennium, Deryck Whibley has proved himself as a workaholic songwriter.
Across seven albums (plus a smattering of co-writing projects, including 5 Seconds Of Summer), Whibley has honed his songwriting chops and thrown himself into his craft. Pretty impressive given the multi-faceted demands as a writer, guitarist, vocalist and producer that he places on himself.
"I don't find it hard to juggle the role of songwriting, playing and producing, I just find that it is a lot of work," he says.
"It's just time consuming. I never switch off. Especially now that I am sober, it never leaves you when you're working on a record.
(Image credit: Will Ireland/Future)
Deryck Whibley on the perilous personal journey behind Sum 41's 13 Voices
"When I was drinking, it would take it away. I would go away, drink, party and forget about it. But being sober, you go to bed and that song is still going around in your head. Being sober hasn't had an impact on my creativity; it's just the workflow."
Today, Whibley is sober and very much on top of his game, as evidenced by Sum 41's well-received 2016 comeback album 13 Voices. While basking in the adulation of his return, the frontman shared with us his key tips on how he transformed from pop-punk teenage brat to a songwriting machine.
Prev Page 1 of 7 Next Prev Page 1 of 7 Next
1. Find your voice
"When I first started on guitar, I really wanted to be Slash.
"Guns N' Roses was the biggest band in the world and I got into Slash and Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page, all of that stuff that you get into as a young guitarist. But at the same time Nirvana was so big, too, and that seemed a little more accessible; with Nirvana it was more like something that I could do.
"That was the brilliance of Nirvana. It was so simple. I went into that direction and then I started writing songs. When I started writing, I realised that I didn't care about being technically good. That's when I let the Slash and Jimi Hendrix side of me go and I let those dreams die, and I followed after Kurt Cobain instead."
2. Think of the vocal
"Everybody is different, but for me, the first thing I started doing with regards to songwriting was writing riffs and they came somewhat easy, I guess.
"To me, guitar riffs are just different variations of a vocal melody. Your guitar riff is like your chorus but in guitar melody form. With writing, I usually start with a guitar riff. If I get a good riff, that helps me come up with a chorus later on.
"I always start and finish writing a song on my own and I say, 'Here's what we got.' And then we all learn it and play it.
Your guitar riff is like your chorus but in guitar melody form
"I usually finish a song as much as I possibly can before I show it to anybody. About 99 per cent of the time the idea that I take to the band will stay the same.
"We'll change some stuff up in songs once we get out on tour. Maybe that's more in terms of crowd interaction. Sometimes some things work better on stage than they do on a recording if they have that live feel."
3. Play like you're on stage
"I always start writing on electric. I hear that a lot of people write on acoustics, but I always have a Marshall, turned up, distorted. When I write, I play like I'm on stage.
"I'll always be thinking about tones when I'm writing. Every song has its own vibe.
I used to think that you get your guitar sound and that's the vibe for the whole record. Now, every song has its own amps and guitars
"I used to think that you get your guitar sound and that is the vibe for the whole record. Now, every song has its own amps and guitars. They need that different vibe.
"It's a constant search; it's a quest to find the best gear that works in the studio. Live, we just use one tone for the set, but in the studio we like lots of different tones. Live, you won't notice all of the small variations of guitar tone coming through the PA."

4. Write lyrics that mean something
"Early on I [when writing lyrics] was just writing words and I didn't know what it meant totally, but whatever came out came out.
"They sort of meant something to you, but maybe I knew what they meant more than what other people did. But then I started to change when I was around 25 years old. I started writing really directly about myself.
A lot of the time I would write vocal melodies with just gibberish and then fill in the words
"I wanted you to know exactly what I was talking about. If you can hear the lyrics, you would know what I was saying. That influence comes from John Lennon. I was a big fan of his post-Beatles solo stuff - I loved how direct it was. That was a big reason why I started doing that.
"A lot of the time, I would write vocal melodies with just gibberish and then fill in the words. It will come out like you're trying to say a word but you can't quite understand what it is. I turn that into words that fit into that rhythm because they sounded right with that melody. I still do that to a certain degree, but I do that with a topic now whereas in the past I might put any word in just because it sounded right.
"I love Pieces; that was the first song that where I felt like I had written a real song. It was the first time where I felt I had written something with meaningful lyrics all the way through and it was on the slower side and was a little more vulnerable. That song opened the door for us to be more like that and it did very well for us."
5. Find someone that pushes you
"I definitely like to work with a producer that challenges the material that I have written.
I have produced our last three records on my own and that is not by choice but it is because I haven't found somebody that really pushes me enough
"I've produced our last three records on my own, and that's not by choice but it's because I haven't found somebody that really pushes me enough. I would rather somebody come in and break it all open and then we put it back together, but I haven't found that person yet.
"Maybe that's harder to find as you become more established as a band. I talk to a lot of great producers, but we don't have that similar vision towards the songs. One day, I will work with a producer that totally works really well with us, but I haven't found it yet.
"By the time I've finished the songs as much as I can I have weeded out a lot of the problems that a producer would say needed to be sorted out. So the songs never changed much with the earlier producers that we were working with. So it seemed like, 'Why are we paying someone all of this money when the songs stayed the same?!'"
(Image credit: PETER KLAUNZER/EPA/REX/Shutterstoc)
6. When it comes to recording, make sure you're pleased with the results…
"I would like to remix a couple of things from our catalogue that were mixed so poorly. The recordings are good, so maybe I will remix them one day.
"The Does This Look Infected? record was mixed poorly; it wasn't the right mixer and it sounded bad but we were on a timeline and the label had to get it out.
"I didn't even know really what I didn't like about it at the time - I was too young, I was only 22. I knew I didn't like it, but I didn't know what to do to fix it. If I had said I didn't like it, I would have been asked what I didn't like about it and I would have only been able to say, 'I dunno, I just don't like it.'"

The Skirrid Mountain Inn, Monmouthshire
The Skirrid Mountain Inn is a public house in the small village of Llanfihangel Crucorney, just a few miles north of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales. Perhaps the oldest pub in Wales, listed in chronicles from 1100 the Inn boasts more then 900 years of History.
The first floor of the inn was reputedly used as a Courtroom where capital punishment was imposed for certain offences, including sheep stealing.
Local legend has it that as many as 180 convicted felons were hanged, some possibly from an oak beam over the well of the staircase outside of the Courtroom where markings, possibly from rope marks, still exist on the staircase wood. It also claims to be the home of several ghosts or spirits as well as the scene of numerous supernatural occurrences or paranormal activities. 'The hanging Judge' is said to still walk the upper floors off the Inn, in life he showed no mercy sending people to their deaths for ridiculous reasons.
Perhaps this is who brings an oppressive feeling to unsuspecting guests. Or might it be the Hangman, the evil presence often felt and seen at the Mountain Inn. The apparition of a sheep rustler hanged for his crimes is often seen in various places around the Inn, do the injustices of the death sentence handed to him still keep this man lurking in the shadows? Not all of the Skirrids ghostly inhabitants are malevolent however, other spirits often encountered include a local clergyman Father Henry Vaghnn and Fanny Price who is believed to have worked at the Inn during the 18th Century.
Other occurrences in the house include the powerful scent of perfume often smelt by guests, glasses flying with no explanation, the rustling of a lady's dress is reported when nobody is there sounds of soldiers in the courtyard and sightings of the White Lady are also reported frequently.
Visitors have reported that they felt as if they were being strangled. Others have said that they felt sick and dizzy whilst in the property.

Scientists and people living along the river fear the impact of the worst drought in years has been exacerbated by upstream dams raising the prospect of irreversible change on the river that supports one of Southeast Asia's most important rice-growing regions.

A Chinese promise to release more dam water to ease the crisis has only raised worries over the extent to which the river's natural cycles – and the communities that have depended on it for generations – have been forever disrupted.
"Now China is completely in control of the water," said Premrudee Deoruong of Laos Dam Investment Monitor, an environmental group.
"From now on, the concern is that the water will be controlled by the dam builders."

In the northeastern Thai province of Nakhon Phanom, where the now sluggish river forms the border with Laos, the measured depth of the Mekong fell below 1.5 meters this week. The average depth there for the same time of year is 8 meters.
"What I have seen this year has never happened before," said Sun Prompakdee, who has been fishing from Ban Nong Chan village for most of his 60 years. "Now we only get small fish, there are no big fish when the water is this low."
The collapse in the water level is partly due to drought – with rainfall during the past 60 days more than 40 percent below normal for the time of year.
But it is also because dams upstream cut off water just when it was most needed. China's Jinghong hydropower station said in early July it was more than halving the flow rate for "grid maintenance" on what China calls the Lancang River.
Then the new Xayaburi dam, being built by a Thai company in Laos to provide power for Thailand, began test runs on July 15.
"It's indicative of the difficulties of launching and operating mega projects in a system that is susceptible to wild swings in its seasonality as well as moving into a period in which climate change impacts are settling in," said researcher Brian Eyler, author of "Last Days of the Mighty Mekong".
It is just the kind of nightmare feared by the countries downstream – Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam – where tens of millions of people rely on a river that gave rise to the region's ancient kingdoms.
Facing water shortages in cities and fields, Thailand has told farmers to stop planting more rice.
Thailand's foreign ministry told Reuters it had invited in the Chinese ambassador "to discuss ways to resolve the Mekong crisis regarding climate change and drought".
CHINESE PROMISE
China's embassy did not respond to a request for comment on the meeting or the water shortage. Just two weeks before the crisis, the embassy released a statement promising China's care for a river it said "embodies a natural bond of mutual support".
In Beijing, Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said: "I know that China has been in close contact with countries in the Greater Mekong Subregion, regarding cooperation on the Mekong River."
Thailand also asked Laos to open the Xayaburi dam.
Both China and Laos had agreed to release water to address the immediate water shortage, the Thai foreign ministry said. Since then, the water level at Nakhon Phanom has started to rise.
But environmentalists said the sudden water shortage was a warning sign for the future of the Mekong and its flora and fauna, including the endangered Giant Catfish.
China's 11 Mekong dams with the capacity to generate more than 21,300 MW of electricity dwarf those of its neighbors.
Another 8 dams proposed for the river basin – the main river and its tributaries – could add capacity of nearly 6,000 MW, according to the Washington-based Stimson Center.
The dams in Laos are much smaller and the current 64 generate less than 5,700 MW, but there are 63 being built and proposals to add more than 300 so that the electricity capacity from its part of the Mekong basin would surpass China's.
"It is using the river for only one use – hydropower – and the other users are being marginalized," said Pianporn Deetes of the International Rivers group.
The fact that China said the dams could help to regulate the water levels on the Mekong – providing more water in the dry season and storing it in the monsoon – was itself worrying, she said.
The life of the river has adapted to monsoon floods that bring silt and allow fish to migrate and a dry season that leaves land exposed where birds can breed.
Trying to manage the flow of the river through planned releases from dams can lead to unpredictable swings that suddenly wash away boats or livestock.
The fishermen of Nakhon Phanom have started using smaller mesh nets and finer lines now that the fish are smaller. They go out less frequently and make much less money.
"I wish the seasonal pattern would return so fish can lay eggs as they used to," said fisherman Chai Haikamsri, 47.
"I wish the dams would not disrupt this any more."

Vernon volunteers continue 30-year tradition
Linda Stewart
For the Times Record News
VERNON, Texas – Sharon and Billy Goins, along with many volunteers, are busy carrying on a tradition started thirty years ago by Pat and Glenna Bryant. A tradition that feeds hundreds of local and area residents hot meals on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
The Holiday Spirit Meal program serves meals free to anyone in the community who would like to attend. Meals will be served in the Empire Room of Wilbarger Memorial Auditorium. Serving will begin noon and go through 2 p.m. Deliveries to shut-ins will be made between 11 a.m. and noon. Over 1,200 meals were served last Thanksgiving.
The Holiday Spirit Meals began in 1987 with the Thanksgiving dinner prepared by Pat and Glenna as their way of saying thank you to the community for their livelihood and health and that of those they love.
During the Thanksgiving meal in 2015, the couple announced that it was time for them to hang up their aprons. At the Christmas meal, William (Billy) and Sharon Goins stepped in with plans to carry on the tradition. The Bryant's originally paid for and did all the work themselves, but now hundreds of volunteers help prepare, serve and deliver the meals.
Several of the volunteers have been with the Holiday Spirit meals since the beginning, some have passed on, and new volunteers continue to assist.
Vernon and area residents were saddened Christmas morning last year (2016) when they learned of the death of Pat Bryant. Bryant and his wife were in Alabama visiting relatives at the time of his death.
This year's menu will consist of ham, turkey, dressing, gravy, okra gumbo, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, black-eye peas, pinto beans, cranberry sauce, English pea salad, fruit salad, & relishes. A variety of desserts will also be available. Fresh fruit will be delivered with the take-out and delivered meals.
Organizers said some 300 pounds of turkey and another 300 pounds of ham and around sixty batches of dressing will be prepared.
Volunteers assist with a number of duties including crumbling bread, bagging and freezing it for the dressing; cornbread to bake, crumble and freeze, eggs to be cracked, beans & gravy to make, tables to decorate, desserts to cut and much more. Community members and local businesses also donate food, time and funding to make the event a success.
"With the continued support of the community, the Holiday Spirit Meal program will continue to prosper and offer traditional holiday meals to those who might not otherwise have one," Sharon Goins said.


Yale University announced Friday the creation of the Michele Dufault Endowment for Yale Women in Science, a $14 million fund benefiting women studying STEM fields at the school.
The fund is named in memory of senior Michele Dufault, who died in a tragic lab accident in 2011 when her hair was pulled into lab equipment.
Dufault's parents will sit on the committee advising the fund.


How Will VR Impact the UK Tech Industry?
The concept of "virtual reality" or VR has existed for over 30 years, but it may now finally be coming of age. New VR technology, such as Google Daydream, as well as existing tech such as Google Cardboard and Google Glass in the related field of augmented reality (AR), are on the verge of becoming part of everyday life.
Nintendo's recent runaway success with their AR game Pokemon Go has added $7.5billion to their market value. This shows just how much of a market there could potentially be for games that effectively make use of VR and AR technology. But is there more to the tech than just new forms of gaming? And what impact will it have on the UK tech industry?
According to some predictions, gaming is likely to make up around 84% of the VR market by 2020. Much of this is likely to centre around mobile gaming, which is expected to make up 45% of all gaming before the end of the decade. Mobile gaming has a big advantage when it comes to VR take up, as it relies on technology people already own, rather than requiring them to go out and purchase dedicated VR technology.
The UK is the world's 6th largest video games market with the industry being worth around £4.2 billion in 2015. This means VR gaming is likely to have a massive impact on the future of the UK gaming industry and the market place. Companies who can effectively develop and market VR titles will have a huge advantage in the near future and the success of Pokemon Go is likely to see an increasing number of games companies rushing to leap on the bandwagon.
So, if gaming will make up 84% of the VR market, what will the other 16% be? Well, at least some of the leading VR technology is likely to be seen in the workplace. Modern workplaces are being less and less tied to traditional offices, with homeworking and outsourcing meaning many key workers are no longer based in a central office. Virtual reality offers great opportunities for remote working, in particular virtual conferencing, where people can have the experiencing of being in the same room as each other, even if they are hundreds or even thousands of miles apart.
VR will also be extremely useful for testing and training, allowing employees to learn in a safe, controlled virtual environment. By providing an immersive learning experience, it should be possible to make in-work training much more effective than with traditional methods such as learning out of books and role playing.
Augmented reality tech will also allow people to perform their jobs more efficiently by providing valuable information overlaid in real time onto the world. This will make it much faster and simpler for employees to get the information they need, allowing them to make faster and better decisions and increase productivity.
By next year, there are predicted to be 750,000 computer science jobs in the UK, with only around 50,000 people graduating from computer science degrees each year. This means there is a looming skills gap and companies that want to stay competitive will need to work harder to attract the right employees.
Business that want to be prepared for the VR revolution will need to make sure they have a clear understanding of the skills they need and how to find the right individuals to provide those skills. Companies that are most effective at finding and attracting high quality VR-savvy team members will be well positioned for success in the VR dominated industry of the near future.
Do you have the right employees for the UK VR boom?
If your company wants to ride the next wave of VR technology to success, you need to make sure you have the right team members in place to help you do it. Next Ventures is one of the UK's most successful technology recruitment companies, working with some of the biggest names in UK tech.

Anxious. Helpless. Upset. Omicron surge leaves U.S. parents, teachers and students on edge
Students and parents arrive at Jordan Community Public School in Chicago.
(Ashlee Rezin / Chicago Sun-Times)
By Kurtis Lee,
Jenny Jarvie
Jan. 14, 2022 3 AM PT
Tierra Pearson suspected the winter months would mean a sharp surge in coronavirus cases. So the Chicago mother made sure she and her two sons — seventh- and 10th-graders — were fully vaccinated.
"We were going to be prepared," she recalled.
But as she kept the TV news on around the clock over much of the last two weeks, watching in dismay as leaders of the Chicago Teachers Union and Mayor Lori Lightfoot battled over safety precautions and schools reopening, Pearson felt far from prepared. She felt helpless.
"We as parents were totally left out of the conversation," she said. "We had no voice about our schools, and that was truly a shame."
As the Omicron variant continues to propel a massive surge in infections that has hit many educators and school staff, parents across the nation are faced with painful deja vu: toggling between virtual and in-person schooling and trying to keep up with constantly evolving district policies.
This week the Biden administration announced that it is planning to make 10 million COVID-19 test kits available each month for schools as part of its push to keep classrooms open during this wave of infections — a critical step considering that vaccination rates are lower among children.
Sick staff. Endless COVID patients. Doctors 'just scraping by' as Omicron sweeps hospitals
After two years, hospitals thought they had a handle on treating COVID-19. But Omicron has hit them harder than ever.
Overall, 63% of Americans are fully vaccinated, but among children ages 12 to 17 the rate sits at 54% and among those 5 to 11, the rate drops to 17%. (In Vermont, 48% of that age group are vaccinated; in California, nearly 19%; and in Mississippi, 5%.)
But disruptions have occurred and at regular intervals.
On average, about 4% of schools across the country — 4,179 of 98,000 schools — dealt with COVID-19 disruptions such as closures this week, according to Burbio, a K-12 school opening tracker. That's down slightly from 5,376 schools last week and a fraction of the peak that occurred around Labor Day 2020 when more than 60% of schools were closed, said Dennis Roche, Burbio's co-founder.
Most of the closures were in the Northeast and Midwest, but some schools were starting to close in the West and South, Roche said. In Minneapolis, schools will go virtual for two weeks starting Friday because of a surge in Omicron cases among teachers. In Louisville, Ky., Jefferson County Public Schools shifted to remote learning because of COVID staffing shortages, while in the Portland, Ore., metro area, school districts moved to remote learning due to surges in cases and teachers being out sick.
Across the U.S., students are threatening boycotts and walkouts. The Oakland Unified School District faces such a strike unless it addresses a list of pandemic health and safety concerns. Students want the district to return to remote learning unless it provides KN95 masks for all kids and are calling for increased testing, among other demands. On Jan. 7, 12 district schools were forced to close after teachers staged a "sickout," citing COVID worries. About 500 teachers were reported absent. And in New York, hundreds of students in recent days boycotted classes and staged walkouts over concerns about testing and called for remote learning to be implemented.
"We're really in a pressure cooker situation right now, because American families are holding up the economy, we're holding up the healthcare system and then we're also expected to hold up the public education system," said Keri Rodrigues, president of the National Parents Union, a network of grass-roots parent groups. "A lot of families across this country are absolutely at their breaking point."
'An invisible addiction.' Amid pandemic, a rise in gambling addiction emerges
Sports betting is on the rise in recent years. So are calls to gambling help hotlines. Then there's the pandemic: 'People are alone and struggling'
For many parents who live paycheck to paycheck, taking a few days off when schools close can mean the difference between having groceries or not and making rent or not, Rodrigues said. Beyond the financial loss, many parents worried that their kids' mental health and grades would deteriorate when schools switch to remote learning.
"When you close down schools over an abundance of caution, understand what you are asking of American families who are already at the brink," she said.
This week the Clark County School District, which spans Las Vegas and is the nation's fifth largest school system with more than 320,000 students, announced it was canceling classes for two days due to extreme staffing shortages.
Jessica Atlas, a 46-year-old single mother, was already frustrated with the school district for not planning activities for her son, Ashton, 9, while he quarantined this week after he caught the flu and she tested positive for the coronavirus.
"I feel like the bottom's falling out," Atlas said, noting that Ashton had not been sent home with any additional schoolwork.
"There should be a plan in place if you send kids home. But there's no organization, no real leadership and no real plan to catch these babies failing all over the place."
The district said there would be no remote learning on the canceled school days.
"I'm on the edge of my seat just waiting with anxiety," she said. "Are we going backwards? Are we going to be shut down completely?"
In Atlanta, six metro school districts began classes online after winter break because of high COVID-19 case counts. But by Monday, all but one reopened to offer in-person classes — even as they continued to battle high case rates and staff shortages.
"One of the most consequential takeaways over the past 22 months is that there is no doubt our young people need the positive influences and safe spaces our employees and school campuses provide more than ever," Mary Elizabeth Davis, superintendent of Henry County Schools south of Atlanta, wrote in a column for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Pandemic or no pandemic, our belief in the power of in-person learning will remain strong, and we will continue to do everything we can to provide that wholesome experience for the success of our youth…."
Still, many students across the Atlanta area remained out of school.
Even as Atlanta Public Schools resumed in-person classes, Maria Arias, 46, a mother with two children in high school and two in day care, kept her kids home because her family had contracted COVID-19 over the winter break.
Concerns over a winter wave of Omicron prompt closures, mask mandates and new COVID fears
Exactly one year after the U.S. kicked off its vaccination campaign against COVID-19, cases are surging once again as the country cobbles together a response.
A grass-roots member of the Latino Assn. for Parents of Public Schools, Arias couldn't go back to work as a server at a small ice cream parlor until her youngest children tested negative and could return to day care. "It's just hard," Arias said as she struggled to keep her older kids on task with their schoolwork.
In recent months, the issue of schools opening or closing has become a battle between politicians and unions.
Last week, President Biden said "we have no reason to think at this point that Omicron is worse for children than previous variants."
"We know that our kids can be safe when in school, by the way. That's why I believe schools should remain open. They have what they need," he added.
Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who took office this month, stood firm on plans to reopen schools in the new year. But in recent days, as cases in the city rise sharply, Adams has considered a virtual learning plan, but it has not been implemented.
Back in Chicago, the school district reopened this week after a two-week standoff between Lightfoot and the Chicago Teachers Union.
The union wanted the option to revert to remote instruction across the 350,000-student district, and without it, hundreds of teachers refused to teach in person for the last two weeks.
Still, Chicago leaders, including Lightfoot, rejected districtwide remote learning, saying that it's detrimental to students and that schools are safe.
After several days of back-and-forth negations, both sides reached an agreement that included provisions for additional testing and metrics allowing for schools with major virus outbreaks to close and go virtual.
Natalie Neris, chief of community engagement at Kids First Chicago, a group that advocates for more resources for students, said the interests of families must be at the forefront of debates.
"Parents are the consistent stakeholder," she said. "Everyone would benefit from recognizing their importance, listening to them more intently, and putting kids first daily."
For Pearson, 32, a hybrid option provides a sense of ease. Last week, she began feeling sick and got tested along with her kids. Each of their results came back negative, except for her son who is in seventh grade, who tested positive. He had no symptoms. She kept him home from school this week.
"It's all over the place with this virus, and things are changing daily," she said. "Schools need to adjust and be flexible as well."

Hardly anyone visits this side of the forum anymore. I think people just browse and then go away. The community is just rather dead.
It appears to be, yes. Nevermind. A few replies are better than nothing.
Quote: "Hardly anyone visits this side of the forum anymore. I think people just browse and then go away"
cant do anything with it until it gets along abit more(way more).
I see others starting to pop back in.
Wanted to say the demo was great! Had fun playing it.
The mood/atmosphere setting made the game a joy to play.
Quote: "Hardly anyone visits this side of the forum anymore. I think people just browse and then go away. The community is just rather dead."
It's unfortunate, but I suppose I'm guilty of that too.
Mapping and audio is done, I just have to record the ending scenes. Then I'll have to send the full game to my testers and correct the glitches found during those playtests.
After that the game will be released.
I aim a release during this month of December, but I don't know exactly when.
Nice! I can't wait to play the final version and see how the story flows together!
Sorry to disappoint you but storytelling and narrative designing are not my things at all. I mean, I can imagine backgrounds I'm struggling very hard when it comes to tell stories. I was thinking to try to expand the story further in future games.
Whats the news Madcow,love to have a walk around this level .
Wow, you certainly set the bar high. Makes me feel like a slacker, lol. I can just imagine the hours of work you have put into this, your own little world. Just incredible, best I've seen on FPSC Classic. Another demo?
Also wondering how's it going? Will keep watching.
How is the game going on mate? Am in quite a delight to play a 10 level game after Euthanasia by Wolf.
Hello, been a long time, isn't it ? I apologize for this. Here's the showcase thread of the game, have fun !
Is the download link supported in India?
I'm not sure to understand, the only thing I can tell you is that I've uploaded it on Mediafire.
Come on pals, nobody has tried it ?
The download link works! Don't worry friend I will be posting a review on your showcase thread after this 16th. Got my exams going on at the time being.
Ah it's finished, great! Will download and let you know.
I'm allowing myself to bump this thread because I thought it would be cool to show those two pictures as a teaser for my next project.

House prevails on stem cells
Patricia Kilday Hart
https://www.texasmonthly.com/burka-blog/house-prevails-on-stem-cells/
Sen. Steve Ogden just announced that his rider banning use of state funds for embryonic stem cell research will not appear in the new state budget. "We really couldn't come to a consensus" so the bill will be silent on the stem cell issue, Ogden announced in this morning's conference committee meeting on the budget bill. "I continue to be concerned about us continuing to be silent" on what he called "a profound issue." While the federal government has guidelines and regulations concerning use of federal money in such research, "in Texas there are none. I hope even though we adopt this rider (the House version, which was silent on stem cell research), it is not the last word on this subject," Ogden said.

Aranyosgadány () község Baranya vármegyében, a Pécsi járásban.

Fekvése
A Baranyai-dombságban fekszik, Pécstől mintegy 15 kilométerre délnyugatra. Két különálló településrésze Aranyos és Keménygadány vagy Gadány; előbbi a közigazgatási terület nyugati széle közelében terül el, míg utóbbi, jóval kisebb kiterjedésű községrész Aranyostól jó másfél kilométerre délkeletre esik.

A szomszédos települések: északkelet felől Pellérd, délkelet felől Görcsöny, nyugat felől Zók, északnyugat felől pedig Bicsérd.

Megközelítése
Ma zsáktelepülésnek tekinthető, mivel közúton csak Bicsérden, Zókon és utóbbi Pázdány nevű, különálló településrészén keresztül közelíthető meg, a 6-os főútból kiágazó 58 102-es számú mellékúton. Az 5801-es út keresztespusztai szakasza felől földúton érhető el.

Hajdan a közelében húzódott a Pécs–Harkány–Donji Miholjac-vasútvonal is, amit azonban 1971 nyarán megszüntettek. A község, illetve Keménygadány településrésze nevét is magán viselő Keménygadány-Keresztespuszta vasútállomás (az 1960-as években már csak Keresztespuszta vasútállomás) a településtől néhány kilométerre keletre helyezkedett el, Keresztespuszta területén.

Története

Első fennmaradt írásos említése (Gadány) 1192-ből való.

A 14. és 15. században püspöki székhely volt, majd szerzetesrendi kolostor működött a településen.

Aranyosgadány 1941-ben alakult Pécsaranyos és Keménygadány egyesülésével. A két településrész mintegy 2 km távolságra fekszik egymástól, Aranyos lent, két domb között, míg Gadány fent egy dombon.

Keménygadány Kemény Zsigmond arisztokrata, író vadászterülete és hűbérbirtoka volt, ahol ma néhány autentikus parasztház, udvarház, gazdasági épület és a vadászat hagyományainak fennmaradása is őrzi ennek emlékét.

A faluban nyaranta művésztelep működik.

Through the journey of pregnancy, birth, lactation, and motherhood we give birth to many things – not just babies. Different aspects of our lives wake up waiting to be evoked – to get their opportunity to be carried forward.
For a long time, we were accustomed to accepting the conventional split between two professions: mental and emotional processes are treated in the world of psychotherapy, while pregnancy and birth-related processes are treated by birth professionals. Yet individual processes are not split in this manner. Birth-Oriented Therapy, makes this connection possible.
Birth-Oriented Therapy (B.O.T.) is a new professional field that enables women and couples to receive focused accompaniment for personal processes in the period surrounding the birth. This approach was developed over more than a decade, and is shaped by a constant movement and integration between the field of birth and the therapeutic field. Underlying this approach is the understanding the field of birth contains implicit processes, and that this unique period offers an opportunity for growth.
The intensity of this period, the exposure to invasive internal examinations, and the constant experience of life's fragility during pregnancy and birth enable significant life processes to unfold for many of us. Couples may experience challenges in their relationship with one another, childhood experiences may awaken, and much of what we knew about ourselves changes in the course of pregnancy and after birth.
The field of birth involves the experiences of pregnancy, nursing, and motherhood, but it may also include challenging fertility treatments, miscarriages or abortions, the loss of a pregnancy, and the challenge of another pregnancy after such a loss.
This period requires a very specific type of focused accompaniment that addresses these various aspects of a woman's experience as they arise and demand attention, while relying on professional knowledge about the period surrounding birth and its unique characteristics.
The need experienced by women and couples to receive focused, professional accompaniment for the personal processes unfolding in the period surrounding the birth.
Professionals in the field of birth seeking information and practices that may offer support for women's emotional experiences during this period.
Professionals in the field of psychotherapy seeking to learn in greater depth about the unique characteristics of the field of birth.
B.O.T. bridges the gap between the field of psychotherapy and the field of birth. It makes visible the transparent experiences of women and couples in the period surrounding birth, which have thus far not received focused professional treatment. This professional field existed until not long ago as a subterranean sphere that received no recognition in psychotherapeutic and medical discourse. Since it did not have a recognized professional name, it remained invisible despite the need for its existence and its significant impact on our lives as individuals and as a society.
Today, this professional field is receiving growing recognition as a sphere that offers women and couples focused, professional support and guidance for personal processes in the period surrounding birth. The B.O.T approach offers a new communication model that enables collaboration among birth professionals, midwives, and the medical staff. It favors supporting women who deal with complex situations during pregnancy and at birth, in new and therapeutic ways.
Our experience reveals that visibility, social recognition and professional support during this period provide women and couples with a healthy ground for supporting a changing experience of the self and of the family nucleus, while offering opportunities for growth and healing.
♠ Birth-Oriented Therapy does not cater to women in extreme states who need to be closely followed by a mental health professional or who require medication. It does offer focused, professional support for functional women and couples in search of accompaniment during this challenging period.
♠ B.O.T. is not affiliated with any group, social agenda, organization, or professional association. It promotes no particular set of ideas or principles concerning birthing methods or parenting. It focuses on the person experiencing these processes and on the new internal system forming during this period.

Expedition Robinson: 2005, was the ninth version of Expedition Robinson, or Survivor as it is referred to in some countries, to air in Sweden and it aired in 2005. The major twist this season was that the contestants were divided into tribes based on their annual salaries, with the North team being the "rich" team and the South team being the "poor" team. Another twist was that of the change in voting format, all contestants were given thirteen votes that they could use at any time and in any amount. Robert Drakwind, formerly known as Robert Andersson, returned to compete for a third time since 1999 along with his girlfriend, Anna Carin Wase. Both were "jokers" and did not enter the competition until episode 3. Both jokers became "chiefs" of one of the tribes and were given immunity at all pre-merge tribal councils, however from episode 4 on they could be challenged by any member of their tribe for the position of chief. If challenged, the chief and challenger would face off in a duel in which the winner would become chief and the loser would be eliminated from the competition. The final twist of the season was that of the "Finalist Island". Introduced in a challenge immediately preceding the merge, contestants would compete in a series of duels in which the winner would earn a spot on Finalist Island. The two contestants left on Finalist Island when only seven contestants were left would have immunity until the final four, while the remaining five contestants not on the island would have to compete for the two remaining spots. Karolina and Max were the last two contestants on Finalist Island. Ultimately, Karolina Conrad went on to win the season with a jury vote of 6–5 over Max Stjernfelt.

Finishing order

The game

Voting history

 Just prior to the merge the remaining contestants had to take part in a race to the merge meal table. The two contestants sitting at the head of the table would be the first to go to the "Finalon" island, where they would be immune from tribal council. In addition they could each select one other contestant to join them. The last contestant to reach the table would be left without a chair and eliminated from the game.
 The last four members of the Robinson tribe not on Finalon island took part in a vote and sudden death challenge where only the last remaining member after the vote and challenge would remain in the game.
 In the final tribal council of the season all remaining contestants reverted to the Robinson tribe and only Robert, who won the last immunity challenge, was immune from the vote.

� Guy Who Called Bristol Palin's Mom a "Whore" Very Upset She Called Him a Homosexual | Main | Massachusetts Muslim Man Lists Hobbbies As Remotely-Piloted Aircraft, Murder �
Perry: On Second Thought (Or First?), I Shouldn't Have Said You Were Heartless
Missing the point:
�I was probably a bit over-passionate by using that word and it was inappropriate,� Perry admitted. �In Texas in 2001 we had 181 members of the legislature � only four voted against this piece of legislation � because it wasn�t about immigration it was about education.�
There are several problems here, which Perry doesn't seem to get.
It wasn't just the Lindsey-Graham-style appeal to liberal emo-politics. That was bad, absolutely. In fact, that is in fact probably the worst part of it.
But there are several other bad parts.
First, by noting he was "overpassionate" about it, he indicates that his emotion, and his conviction based on that emotion, is on the wrong side of the Republican Party mainstream here.
As we saw with Bush and amnesty, it is a problem when a politician emotionally, in his bones, feels he is doing the right thing. At least, it's a problem when that "feeling" is repudiated by the majority of the party.
There is no reasoning someone out of a position he wasn't reasoned into in the first place, the saying goes, and it's a keeper.
The other problem is that, combined with his rejection of a full-border-fence (which actually doesn't make a great deal of sense from a practical point of view) and his rejection of E-Verify (most states actually do reject E-Verify), he's got the reputation, now set fairly solidly, of an immigration squish, something the Lindsey Graham appeal to emotion only sets and hardens further.
And the party is not squish on illegal immigration.
Eventually he gets around to the only answer that can save him...
�We wouldn�t be having these conversations today, whether it�s about in-state tuition for illegal immigrants or whether it�s the Arizona law or whether it�s voter-ID which we passed in Texas, or sanctuary cities and the banning of those� None of those would come up if the federal government had simply done its job through the years to secure our borders.�
...but that really should have been his answer from the start: The federal government, not me, has created and encouraged an impossible situation for governors to deal with; I dealt with the difficulties of this non-policy as governor, making the best of a bad situation; but no, what I would do as President would not be the same thing I had to do as governor who is prisoner to a policy of insecure borders foisted on the states from DC.
And as for those children of illegals here -- as the government is not requiring them to vacate, I was just attempting to deal with the facts on the ground such as they are.
That would have minimized the damage here, at least.
But by affirmatively doubling down on this, and in such an emotional (that is, incapable-of-being moved) way...
Well. We are where we are.
I don't know how he entered this primary without realizing the party's mainstream is strongly immigration-enforcement, and that he'd have to adapt to that reality.
On a Meta-Level... I am really getting sick to death of this party becoming the Party of Feelings.
Thinking has almost become a dirty word. It's all about convictions (emotional) and values (not emotional per se, but pre-rational).
Those things do have a very big place in the scheme of things.
But the idea that we can just "intuit" everything like goddamned Emo Jedis... I'm really getting tired of it.
We seem determined to replicate the worst parts of liberalism.
Governor Perry In The Comments Section! I'm honored.
Look at the big picture. Once we get 'em into the colleges, we inject 'em all with Gardisil. Texas winds up with the lowest cost of landscape maintenance in the entire country.

I am wondering drsmurto if you are familiar with the book The New Complete Joy of Home Brewing. If you are and have access to it I wonder if you might answer a question regarding "4)" on page 279?
No, I don't have that book. What is the question?
