Christmas: A time of joy. A time of hope. A time to meet Christ when He comes again. A time to be in close quarters with your family, rehash old hurts, and pray for New Year's Eve to get here fast so you can spend time with your friends… We each have a different experience of Christmas, I suppose.
All joking aside, I enjoy spending the Christmas Season with my family and miss the days of waking up early and opening presents under the tree. However, as pastor of a parish, I began this holy season with my parish family. And I can't imagine being anywhere else for Christmas Eve and Day.
Living religious life as a Dominican Friar, whether working in a parish, campus ministry, or some other context offers one of many exciting aspects: community. Dominicans celebrate Holy Days in community, not only as members of our religious houses, but also with the people we serve. This year, with the 4th Sunday of Advent so close to Christmas, I had the opportunity to celebrate the Sacraments and joyfully welcome many people to St. Peter Catholic Church two days in a row.
As Christians throughout the world directed their hearts and minds to God in prayer for the Nativity of Our Lord, our parish celebrated a Vigil Mass, Mass During the Night, and Mass of the Day. In between, there was time for personal prayer and even a little celebration with friends. In that sense, Dominican Life at Christmas is pretty similar to everyone's experience.
One of the unexpected joys of Christmas as a Dominican Friar is "extended" family. Over the years, I've come to know my parishioners well. That's part of being a parish priest. However, I never anticipated how much I would come to know my parishioners' out-of-town family members and friends. Each Christmas, as I greet people at Mass, my heart is warmed to see familiar faces from around the world coming back to Memphis to participate in Mass at St. Peter with their loved ones and relax in the warmth of the family home. I even get a little time to catch up with many of them too!
Before joining the Order of Preachers, I never imagined meeting the wonderful people now in my life. Part of the Christmas spirit is announcing that Christ has come into the world and sharing His presence with everyone we meet. As a Dominican Friar, I get to share Christ at Christmas not only with the family God gave me at birth, but the family God called me to serve as a son of St. Dominic. So, I guess I have not escaped my family at Christmas…my family has just gone global!

Daily Alert Level compliance update
Published: Fri 17 Sep 2021 02:13 PM
New requirements for evidence of COVID-19 test at checkpoints
Police are reminding all permitted workers, including freight drivers, intending to travel through the Alert Level Boundary checkpoints around Auckland to ensure they carry evidence to prove they have had a COVID-19 test in the past seven days.
A number of vehicles, including heavy freight trucks, were turned around at the checkpoints overnight following the new requirement for permitted workers to provide this evidence if crossing alert boundaries, which came into effect at 11.59pm yesterday.
A number of truck drivers were turned around overnight and again today for failing to provide the necessary evidence.
Some drivers did not have any evidence of having had a COVID-19 test in the past seven days, while a few drivers were turned away after providing records of tests they'd had from more than seven days ago, which is outside the required time period.
Other vehicles were turned away because one or more of the occupants inside the vehicle did not have proof of having had a COVID-19 test in the past seven days.
Police will continue to stop and check that permitted workers, including freight drivers, travelling through these checkpoints are able to provide this evidence.
Evidence of the test can include a text message, which will be automatically generated when the test is taken, or paper confirmation issued by the testing centres.
If the worker has had a medical examination instead of a test, they must have an electronic or paper copy of that medical certificate to show Police at the checkpoint.
Permitted workers must also continue to carry evidence for their reason for crossing the Alert level boundary, and photo identification.
Further information can be found here: https://covid19.govt.nz/travel/permitted-travel-at-different-alert-levels/business-travel-across-an-alert-level-boundary/(link is external)Other checkpoint incidents
While overall compliance levels remain extremely high, Police are continuing to see a few incidents of people deliberately breaching the restrictions at the checkpoints.
Yesterday afternoon a vehicle failed to pull over at the northern SH1 checkpoint and fled north. The driver of the vehicle was subsequently located last night and spoken to by Police.
Police are making further enquiries to establish the full circumstances surrounding this incident and charges are likely.
In another incident, a driver was stopped and questioned at the same checkpoint yesterday. It was established they had spent the past three weeks in Auckland at a friend's house and wanted to travel back to their residence in Northland.
After being advised this wasn't allowed and being directed to turnaround, the driver ignored Police and continued to drive north.
Officers from the checkpoint followed the vehicle and signalled it to pull over before the driver eventually turned around and went back through the checkpoint. The driver will be receiving an infringement notice.
Police at the northern SH1 checkpoint also noticed a woman travelling back into Auckland who was let through from Northland on the premise that she was feeding stock.
As she travelled through the checkpoint, officers spotted shopping in her vehicle, which she admitted to when questioned. She was issued with an infringement notice for breaching COVID-19 restrictions.
The actions of these individuals are incredibly disappointing, while also posing a risk to the wider community.
With Alert Level restrictions in place for several weeks, Police have a very low tolerance for anyone deliberately ignoring the restriction rules and enforcement action is likely to be taken.
Checkpoint compliance update
(Please note, the latest figures available are up until 11.59pm yesterday, before the new checkpoint requirements for Covid-19 tests came into effect. The earliest figures around vehicles being turned around today at checkpoints won't be available until tomorrow.)
As of 11.59pm yesterday, a total of 149,309 vehicles have now been stopped at the 10 checkpoints on Auckland's northern and southern boundaries since 11.59pm on 31 August.
A total of 1,652 vehicles have been turned around during this time.
15,824 vehicles were processed at the checkpoints yesterday while only 119 vehicles were turned around.
A total of 40 vehicles were turned away at the Northern checkpoints yesterday while 79 vehicles were turned around at the Southern checkpoints.Tāmaki Makaurau compliance update
Since Alert Level 4 came into place, in Tāmaki Makaurau 77 people have been charged with a total of 81 offences as at 5pm yesterday (16 September 2021).
Of these, 64 are for Failing to Comply with Order (COVID-19), 14 for Failure to Comply with Direction/Prohibition/Restriction, one for Failing to Stop (COVID 19-related), and two for Assaults/Threatens/Hinders/Obstructs Enforcement Officer.
In the same time period, 177 people were formally warned for a range of offences.
To date, Police have received a total of 8,781 105-online breach notifications relating to businesses, mass gatherings or people in Tāmaki Makaurau.Alert Level 2 compliance update
Six people have been charged with a total of nine offences in Alert Level 2, as at 5pm yesterday (16 September 2021).
Of these, six are for Failing to Comply with Order (Covid-19), two for Failing to Stop (Covid-related), and one for Assaults/Threatens/Hinders/Obstructs Enforcement Officer.
In the same time period, three people have been warned – two for Failure to Comply with Direction/Prohibition/Restriction and one for Failing to Comply with Order (Covid-19).
To date, Police have received a total of 506 105-online breach notifications relating to businesses, mass gatherings or people in Alert Level 2.

Synod of the Eucharist
Against Communion in the Hand
ARCHBISHOP JAN PAWEL LENGA M.I.C. OF KARAGANDA, KAZAKHSTAN. "Among the liturgical innovations produced in the Western world, two in particular tend to cloud the visible aspect of the Eucharist, especially as regards its centrality and sacredness: the removal of the tabernacle from the center and the distribution of communion in the hand. ... Communion in the hand is spreading and even prevailing as being easier, as a kind of fashion. ... Therefore, I humbly propose the following practical propositions: that the Holy See issue a universal regulation establishing the official way of receiving communion as being in the mouth and kneeling; with communion in the hand to be reserved for the clergy alone. May bishops in places where communion in the hand has been introduced work with pastoral prudence to bring the faithful slowly back to the official rite of communion, valid for all local Churches."
No Mass on Lenten Fridays
BISHOP LORENZO VOLTOLINI ESTI, AUXILIARY OF PORTOVIEJO, ECUADOR. "Refraining from the celebration of Mass on Friday in Lent would help the faithful to feel greater hunger for the Eucharistic food, and it would give priests the chance to put themselves at the disposal of the faithful for the Sacrament of Penance, thus establishing a relationship of equal dignity and necessity between the two Sacraments. ... I propose it be suggested to dioceses or National Conferences, or at least allowed to those that request it, that they establish a day of Eucharistic fasting, preferably during Lent and perhaps on Fridays. This should not be experienced as a day of Eucharistic absence but as a period of preparation for and expectation of the Eucharist. It should not be considered as an interruption of the practice of celebrating the Eucharist each day, but as a way to give worth to the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ, equally celebrated in Penance and in the Eucharist in the totality and complementarity of the two Sacraments."
Communion to the Divorced and Remarried
ARCHBISHOP JOHN ATCHERLEY DEW OF WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND. "Our Church would be enriched if we were able to invite dedicated Catholics, currently excluded from the Eucharist, to return to the Lord's table. There are those whose first marriages ended in sadness; they have never abandoned the Church, but are currently excluded from the Eucharist. There are Catholics married to people baptized in other Christian faiths. We acknowledge them to be baptized in Christ in the sacrament of marriage, but not in the reception of the Eucharist. This Synod must be pastoral in approach; we must look for ways to include those who are hungering for the Bread of Life. The scandal of those hungering for Eucharistic food needs to be addressed, just as the scandal of physical hunger needs to be addressed."
angelmeg October 5, 2005 at 4:16 PM
I have prayed about this a lot an I have come to the conclusion that I commit many more sins with my tongue than I do with my hands, so I see receiving on my hand as a more reverent way. But that is my prayerful discernment of the action.
Of course, if the Bishops were to tell me tomorrow that I had to receive on the tongue I would do so in faithful submission. But I still believe that I have discerned what is right for me for now.
jdobbs October 6, 2005 at 2:34 PM
AM, you still receive on the tongue, even if you receive in the hand. Putting something in your hand signifies ownership. That is why keys are put in your hand to signify that you own the car.
More to the point, as Pope Paul VI taught, if even a single fragment of Host falls on the ground and is not immediately picked up so noone steps on it, it is a sacrilege against Our Lord's True Body. You realize that about one out of every two Hosts leaves particles in the hand. Do you - does your neighbor - bother checking for particles after receiving in the hand? Every time your neighbor drops a particle of Host on the ground, sacrilege is committed when someone steps on It.
The seminary I attended never gives Communion in the hand - ever. It is extremely edifying when, during Ordinations, you have hundreds of people talking outside the tent where Ordinations were conferred on the new priests. When a priest comes to move the Blessed Sacrament from the tent to the church, everybody - and I mean EVERYBODY - stops what they're doing, shuts up immediately without being prompted, and kneels in adoration of Our Lord, Who is passing. That is one of the most edifying scenes I've ever seen, and it happens every year. Nobody even has to say, "Sh!"
Is Our Lord treated with that much reverence where Communion in the hand is practiced? Is there a correlation? I believe so.
I heard Fr. Altier, great, holy, learned priest,
http://www.desertvoice.org/Written.html
the other day on a radio program say that everyone in his parish in Minnesota receives on the tongue and they all kneel at the communion rail. As far as ease of administering, he says that it is much faster, in opposition to what most people would like to believe and of course places people in a more reverent position of reception.

KURDISH FIGHTERS THWARTED a bid by Islamic State group jihadists to advance into the centre of the battleground Syrian town of Kobane early today, a monitoring group said.
The attack came after the IS militants overran Kurdish headquarters in the border town on Friday, sparking fears they would cut off the last escape route to neighbouring Turkey for hundreds of mainly elderly civilians still in the town centre.
The IS assault sparked 90 minutes of heavy fighting with the town's Kurdish defenders before the jihadists fell back, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
US-led coalition warplanes also carried out two air strikes on IS targets south and east of the town early Saturday, according to the Britain-based monitoring group, which has a wide network of sources inside Syria.
Small groups of Kurdish fighters were trying to harry the encircling jihadists with operations across the front line, Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.
UN envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura warned Friday that 12,000 or so civilians still in or near Kobane, including 700 mainly elderly people in the town centre, "will most likely be massacred" by IS if the town falls.

Celebrating school counselors: Four facts you may not know
Nichole Pichardo January 31, 2021
One week a year is devoted to celebrating and recognizing a special group of uniquely-trained educators who have a big impact on student success and achievement in our local schools.
Celebrated annually during the first week in February, National School Counseling Week honors counselors' contributions within schools across the country. Between helping students with academic plans, being there for them emotionally and socially, and supporting students' college and career plans, school counselors have a unique role.
"It's no secret that 2020 was a significantly challenging year for many educators, but school counselors did not falter in their call to support our communities," said OCDE Coordinator of K-12 School Counseling Services Dr. Luz M. Arellano. "They were at the forefront, checking in with students and families by ensuring their physical and emotional needs were met while also providing resources such as food banks, mental health resources and support with accessing technology."
We sat down with Dr. Arellano to gain a better understanding of the vital role school counselors play in the education system. Here are four things you may not know about school counselors.
School counselors are certified and licensed educators.
All school counselors in the state of California must earn a graduate degree specializing in school counseling along with their bachelor's degree. As part of the master's in counseling program, school counselors are required to complete six units of practicum and field study. In California, school counselors need to complete at least 900 hours of combined practicum and fieldwork.
School counselors are active school leaders.
As members of school leadership and student support teams, school counselors collaborate with family members, principals, teachers and other support staff to develop and implement school-wide programs, classroom and individual student activities to improve student outcomes.
School counselors are proactive and data-driven.
Supporting elementary, middle and high school students, counselors use data to create guidance programs that address students' academic, social, and emotional development and future career plans.
School counselors advocate for equitable education for all students and work to remove systemic barriers.
As educational advocates, school counselors identify and evaluate developmental problems and external factors that affect student success. In this capacity, they help to promote a positive school environment that leads to positive student outcomes.
Stay tuned as we continue to honor, celebrate and highlight the work of school counselors across Orange County.

Q: maven: how to include annotation-generated .java files in the .jar I have some java 7 annotation processors (for xtend) on my class-path. Via some annotations they create java files.
This works great, in Elipse and in the Maven build.
The generated files end up in target/generated-sources/annotations as expected.
The corresponding generated .class files also end up where expected and are thus part of the final jar file.
Since I need to also include all java source files in my .jar file (there should be only one .jar file with the sources and classes) for GWT,
I have specified src/main/java as a resources dir (so that Maven copies the files to the classes dir and they end up in the jar file).
the trick with the resources directory does not really work for my generated files, because Maven will first copy all resources and then start the compilation (which in turn will generate the .java files via the annotation processors).
How can I tell Maven to copy also include the generated .java files in the .jar?

A: You can bind the maven-resources-plugin to the prepare-package phase to achieve copying annotation sources before packaging proper:
<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <id>copy-annotations</id>
          <phase>prepare-package</phase>
          <goals>
            <goal>copy-resources</goal>
          </goals>
          <configuration>
            <resources>
              <resource>
                <directory>target/generated-sources/annotations</directory>
              </resource>
            </resources>
          </configuration>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>
   </plugins>

    ...

I hope that helps.

Super Mario Run is now available in the App Store for iPhone and iPad, free download with $9.99 in-app purchase
Benjamin Mayo
- Dec. 15th 2016 9:29 am PT
@bzamayo
The first ever Mario game for iPhone has launched to much fanfare from Nintendo and Apple. Download Super Mario Run from the App Store now, on any iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 8, iOS 9 or iOS 10.
Super Mario Run is a one button 2D platformer. Mario automatically runs through the level, players press the screen to make him jump onto ledges, avoid enemies and collect coins.
For free, the game includes a selection of levels as a trial; the full game content can be unlocked with a one-time $9.99 In-App Purchase. We've got a walkthrough of the three different modes and a raft of screenshots after the jump to give you a taste of what the game has to offer before you play …
Try Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial
At a glance, Super Mario Run looks just like a normal Mario Bros side-scrolling 2D platformer from the DS. Fans of those games will feel right at home in Super Mario Run, with many of the same characters, visuals and sounds.
Goombas, toads, piranha plants and the iconic soundtrack will mean people familiar with the franchise are right at home.
However, the way the game plays is very different to any previous Mario title from Nintendo. The game interactions have been streamlined to suit the on-the-go iPhone/iPad experience — you can play Super Mario Run with one hand.
Video first impressions
Subscribe to 9to5Mac on YouTube for more videos
Mario runs forward automatically so the player just has to tap the screen to jump at the right moments in the courses. Mario responds differently depending on when you tap on the screen, so you have to get the timing right to pull off the perfect wall-jumps or hops to collect as many power-ups and coins as possible. A quick tap is also interpreted differently to a longer press, so the input mechanism is a bit more sophisticated than it first sounds.
In many cases, Mario will jump automatically to help new players get to grips with the game but manual control is required to achieve the highest scores. For example, an invincibility star power-up in one level is only reachable if the user achieves a jump at just the right point on a hill.
Super Mario Run features three distinct modes: World Tour, Toad Rally and Kingdom Builder. World Tour is the primary story mode where players have to complete each level in succession to advance through a total of 6 worlds and 24 courses. Mario will journey through caverns, castles, haunted houses and more in this main quest. Success relies on good timing; tap in just the right places to find hidden bonuses, power ups and pull off optimal double and triple jumps to nab the most coins as possible.
Toad Rally is the game's 'multiplayer' mode where players have to race against records set by their friends and the best players around the world. As you run, a ghost player of the previous lap-time shows you what the other person achieved and provides motivation to catch up if you are falling behind. The Toads assess your 'stylish moves' and coin-collecting abilities to make the final score.
If you do well enough in Toad Rally, the Toads will come and live in your personal Kingdom. This is the third mode and is essentially a trophy of your achievements playing through levels. Using the coins and Toads attained, buy buildings and decorations (pipes, flowers and stars) to impress. It's like a cute little town where you build houses for the Toads to live.

Located in the north-eastern corner of the Northern Territory is Arnhem Land, 500 kilometres east of Darwin. The region has an area of 97,000 kilometres² which also covers the area of Kakadu National Park. With land that large, the ever changing landscape dramatically changes between the dry and wet seasons, leaving some areas underwater for almost half of the year.
Arnhem Land is the perfect place to be immersed in Aboriginal culture. Home to the world's oldest living culture, the region has been occupied by indigenous people for tens of thousands of years and is home to the Yolngu people, one of the largest indigenous groups in Australia.
Having passed down art, skills and storytelling for more than 50,000 years, here you can also witness ancient Aboriginal rock art, some of the finest examples of which can be found at Ubirr. Not only the location of the oldest-known stone axe, believed to be 35,500 years old, Arnhem Land is also the birthplace of the iconic Australian wooden wind instrument, the didgeridoo.
This area was declared an Aboriginal Reserve in 1931 and is one of the largest in Australia. To preserve the strong continuing traditions and protect the privacy of the communities all visitors require written permission from the traditional owners to enter Arnhem Land.
You can visit Arnhem Land by boat or 4WD with AAT Kings. With an Aboriginal guide, you'll see spectacular scenery and visit places inaccessible to most, including ancient rock art sites. Learn about traditional land ownership, bush skills, food gathering and bush tucker preparation and meet Aboriginal artists at Injalak Arts and Crafts Centre in Oenpelli (conditions permitting).

In mid-sixteenth-century England, people were born into authority and responsibility based on their social status. Thus elite children could designate property or serve in Parliament, while children of the poorer sort might be forced to sign labor contracts or be hanged for arson or picking pockets. By the late eighteenth century, however, English and American law began to emphasize contractual relations based on informed consent rather than on birth status. In By Birth or Consent, Holly Brewer explores how the changing legal status of children illuminates the struggle over consent and status in England and America. As it emerged through religious, political, and legal debates, the concept of meaningful consent challenged the older order of birthright and became central to the development of democratic political theory.
The struggle over meaningful consent had tremendous political and social consequences, affecting the whole order of society. It granted new powers to fathers and guardians at the same time that it challenged those of masters and kings. Brewer's analysis reshapes the debate about the origins of modern political ideology and makes connections between Reformation religious debates, Enlightenment philosophy, and democratic political theory.

Jury deliberates in trial of imprisoned sports doctor's boss
By Associated Press June 11, 2019 5:18 pm
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A former dean who had oversight of now-imprisoned sports doctor Larry Nassar at Michigan State University did nothing to enforce examining-room restrictions imposed on him after a sexual misconduct complaint, a prosecutor said Tuesday, while the defense countered that William Strampel never willfully neglected his job duties.
Jurors began deliberating Tuesday after more than two hours of closing arguments in the trial of the 71-year-old Strampel, who led the College of Osteopathic Medicine for about 15 years before being forced out. He is accused of failing to ensure that Nassar followed the protocols, abusing his public office to sexually proposition and make explicit comments to female students, and inappropriately touching two on the buttocks. If convicted of the most serious charge, a felony, he could face up to 15 years in prison.
He was the first person charged after Michigan's attorney general launched an investigation 1½ years ago into how Michigan State handled complaints against Nassar, who pleaded guilty in 2017 to molesting patients and possessing child pornography. Ex-university President Lou Anna Simon and former women's gymnastics coach Kathie Klages face charges of lying to investigators.
"Should these women have to listen to this sexually inappropriate language and this sexual innuendo? They all felt threatened by it," assistant attorney general Danielle Hagaman-Clark said in her closing statement. "Why? Why should they have to listen to that? They're simply trying to become doctors."
She said Strampel "did not a single thing" to see through the limits put on Nassar in 2014 after a patient accused the doctor of sexual contact — such as not treating patients near any sensitive areas on the body without a chaperone present.
"He was the one who put those protocols in place," Hagaman-Clark said.
But Strampel's defense attorney John Dakmak said the school's investigation cleared Nassar, and there is no evidence that Strampel purposely ignored any duty related to Nassar. He said many other people and entities at Michigan State also had a role — including the Office of Institutional Equity, the general counsel's office, the provost's office, the Health Team, the radiology chairman and people who ran sports medicine.
Dakmak said nothing ever happened between Strampel and students who met with him after struggling on exams, and the students ultimately moved forward in school.
"All we're left with is locker room talk, is bawdy talk, is ribald talk, is maybe offensive to some people, maybe not to others, not politically correct talk," he said. He added later: "You will never see inappropriate language result in a criminal conviction in this state because this is the United States. You need more. In this case, you need corruption. You need an intent. And after everything we've heard, it's just not there."
Nassar was fired in 2016 after another victim went public and brought Title IX and police complaints. He was sentenced to effectively spend the rest of his life in prison in 2018 after hundreds of women and girls gave powerful statements against him in two courtrooms.
Nassar also worked at Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics, which trains Olympians.
During Strampel's trial, which began May 30, multiple former medical students testified about sexual comments he made during one-on-one meetings. They accused him of staring at their breasts. Women who worked as model patients during exams also testified about unprofessional and sexual comments.
Investigators said Strampel's work computer was found to contain photos of nude and semi-nude young women with Michigan State logo piercings or clothing.
Strampel did not testify. Jurors will return for additional deliberations Wednesday.

An only child, Carroll was sent at the age of ten to the Jesuit college of St. Omers, in French Flanders, where Maryland's Catholic gentry sent their sons because the colony's laws, which denied "papists" the right to vote, hold office, practice law, and worship publicly, also forbade them to maintain religious schools. Young Carroll studied abroad for sixteen years, ending with a thesis in philosophy at the college of Louis le Grand in Paris in 1757. After reading civil law in Bourges and Paris, he moved to London in September 1759 to pursue the common law at the Inns of Court. However, his antipathy for the discipline, which he regarded as "founded upon and still subsisting by villainy," became so intense that he ultimately defied his father's intention that he formally enter the Inner Temple, one of the four Inns of Court. Finding the paternal insistence on his acquiring the social graces more to his liking, he became adept at dancing, drawing, and fencing and mastered Italian, bookkeeping, and surveying, practical skills the elder Carroll deemed essential for success as a landowner and man of business....

RETURN TO: Home Page - Performance Yacht Design 101
Innov' Sail Conference, Lorient, 26-28 June, 2013
The IMOCA 60 class has a complicated set of foils: with canting and tilted keels, asymetric daggerboards that can be designed to be fitted to the hull in different orientations along with toed-in and twin / two rudder design that can also be configured in different orientations. Curved dagger-boards and straight boards with positive lift inducing dihedral angles have been used in number of recent IMOCA 60 designs and in other classes, principally multi-hulls. These were considered an option by the client for their new Open 60 design and so a research and development programme was instigated by Owen Clarke Design to compare new curved designs with conventional straight dagger-boards optimised for upwind conditions. It was felt that the modelling of the trim of the yacht was very important to the calculation and sharing of loads between all of the appendages, and so our group chose to use a combination of one third scale high speed towing tanks tests and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), rather than CFD alone to investigate the relative performance between these dagger-board types.
λ , Leeway angle (degrees)
TWA, True wind angle (degrees)
TWS, True wind speed (knots)
There has been a good deal of discussion in recent years regarding the pros and cons of curved verses straight dagger-boards in the IMOCA 60 class. It was natural then that as part of the design package for Owen Clarke's latest Open 60 that a proportion of budget and time should be set aside to evaluate the relative performances of straight verses curves boards and to build on the previous test and CFD work that had already been undertaken by the group on various board configurations, angles and placement. This evaluation was undertaken as part of a wider study into Open 60 performance looking at the sharing of loads, affects of trim and various appendage designs and built on the one third scale testing undertaken for Ecover 3 in 2006.
Before concentrating on dagger-board selection it's important to have an overview of the factors affecting the appendage design, the forces involved and why the experimental methods used were selected. Owen Clarke's current IMOCA60 design.
Acciona started with the known performance of their seven previous designs, including Gamesa (ex Ecover 3), compared to that of more recent Open 60's from other designers. One of the parameters that had changed in recent IMOCA60 designs, including Ecover 3 and her sister-ship Aviva , is increasing fore and aft inclination of the canting keel pivot axis to DWL, or as it is sometimes described; keel tilt. The interaction between the multiple appendages on these craft has always been complex and the introduction of tilt has added a further factor. Tilt refers to the fact that at the hull/keel intersection the forward pivot bearing is placed higher than the aft. The result is that when the keel is canted the fin takes on a positive angle of attack, inducing lift, reducing righting moment, altering hull trim, rudder loading and changes the proportion of load sharing with the dagger-board when it is deployed. This was subject to the previous paper by the authors.
This change of trim induced by the keel foil can itself be altered by varying the size, angles and placement of the dagger-boards as well as by boat speed and sail selection. Sail selection and reefing has a significant effect on the sail force trimming moment, which itself has the affect of driving the bow down and increasing rudder load/drag. If this were not complicated enough, Open 60's are able (depending on true wind speed/true wind angle and sail selection) to adjust their fore and aft trim using up to between 5,000 and 6,000kg of water per side and they alter the selected balance not just based on wind, but also sail selection and sea state. In addition, when reefed, lower sail centers of effort and the addition of water ballast increase the side force required to be developed by the appendages and we will show why this is important in dagger-board selection and their angles to the yacht's centerline and DWL.
There are therefore a considerable number of inter-related factors that contribute to a matrix of experimental conditions one may look to investigate. Deriving accurately the change in trim of the yacht caused by these factors and therefore the actual attack angles/lift and drag forces on each of the foils and then squaring the circle so that the resulting correct trim is derived for each equilibrium condition is a highly complex, crucial problem to solve.
While as a group we have great confidence in the ability of CFD to derive foil loadings we felt that a combination of the use of CFD and scale model testing was likely to provide the best overall understanding of the problem. Using CFD in parallel with model testing would also provide us with data that we could compare and so we would not be reliant wholly on one source of information that might lead us up a blind alley and/or to false conclusions. The design team required greater confidence in any analysis than it was felt reliance on a single methodology (especially one without a long history of use in this boat type) could provide. The crux of the matter being that this was not an academic exercise, their recommendations would be acted upon by the client; months of work would be undertaken, many millions of Euros spent and ultimately one sailor would have to deal with the results.
There was already anecdotal information from some of Owen Clarke's competitor's yachts that indicated; whilst increasing keel tilt improved reaching performance at say 16 knots, excessive tilt could lead to control problems when sailing downwind at higher speeds and while there was a requirement to improve performance this was not come at the cost of control or sea-keeping in difficult conditions.
2. DAGGER-BOARD SAILING CONDITIONS
The dagger-boards are used to generate sideforce efficiently with low induced drag. It will be seen later that the tank tests reveal the cross-over speed is somewhere above 13 knots, where it becomes effective to raise the dagger-boards because the hull and canting keel can produce sideforce with a net drag saving by eliminating the profile drag of the dagger-boards.
In the Vendee Globe race average speeds are:
11.4 knots with a Vendee record of 11.7 knots in the Atlantic heading south with the wind predominantly aft the beam.
11 knots in the Atlantic heading north with the wind predominantly forward of the beam.
12.5 knots in a straight line in the Southern Ocean with the Vendee record of 12.7 knots for the Pacific but actually a little below 15 knots over the ground.
Previous experience: computer modelling, tank testing and on the water in two boat testing had shown that the speeds of interest for dagger-board development are in the displacement and semi-displacement speed range for the yacht of 9 to 13 knots (Froude numbers of 0.35 to 0.50). In the higher speeds of 15 knots, sailing down the Atlantic and in the Southern Ocean, the dagger-boards tend to be raised. However, to be sure of this we would include in our test Matrix runs at higher speeds with curved daggerboards deployed, in order to test this hypothesis.
For an Open 60, any vertical force generated by the canting keel or by a curved dagger-board has to benefit the yacht by reducing the drag of the hull in relatively slow conditions and not where light displacements yachts such as the AC72 catamarans or International Moth dinghies can become fully foil borne.
3. DESIGN TOOLS
VPP calculations, based on hydrodynamic data from previous tank tests, were performed and some adjustments made to match the performance to that of Ecover 3 . This tricky job was performed using the WinDesign VPP with customised features to match the canting keel effects on stability and different flotations to match the various water ballast configurations for the boat.
Detailed output from the VPP was used to provide input to the tank tests and CFD calculation. While not directly relevant to the dagger-board design itself and prior to the appendage development phase, 1:7 scale model testing was undertaken over a two week period on the most promising candidate designs based on a range of representative hull forms from other designers working in the Volvo/IMOCA circuit.
The 1:7 scale tank tests were conducted up to a scale speed range of 7 to 20 knots using only the canting keel without dagger-boards to simplify the test setup whilst enabling differences in hull hydrodynamics to be evaluated. The test programme also included variations in keel tilt, which helped establish its benefits. Of the six models tested, three were short-listed and the final winning model (a development of the OCD genre) was then used both to build the 1:3 scale model and the parallel CFD studies.
The problem of load sharing when sailing upwind between the canting keel, dagger-board, rudder and hull is complex, as illustrated in Figure 1. Whilst the lift from the canting keel produces a smaller side force compared to the straight dagger-board, it produces a vertical force that offsets some of the boat's displacement. This can be considerable at higher speeds when the dagger-board is raised.
Figure 1 – Side force contributions
Setting the ratio of the side force developed by the dagger-board to that by the keel is a crucial factor in optimising the performance of the boat in any mode when the dagger-board is in use. Introducing curvature into the dagger-board results in it also producing some vertical force to complement that from the keel at lower speeds.
The load sharing and associated variations in induced drag was investigated using a CFD panel code, which had the advantage over RANS codes that it enabled calculations to be performed for a large number of configurations in a cost effective and timely manner. The calculations over an extensive test matrix were simplified by performing them at fixed speed and trim.
The CFD work undertaken over several months resulted in a selection of appendages which were then narrowed down to a select number which were then built for the 1:3 scale tests. As importantly using the results from this stage of the work we were able to narrow down the test matrix somewhat, discounting some areas and thereby saving time in the tank that could be dedicated to other work.
The canting keel has to be a symmetrical section to operate on both tacks but the dagger-boards are asymmetric so can be a cambered section to minimise their viscous drag. The two dimensional code MSES was used to develop the dagger-board sections used throughout the work. The sections used early on in the preparatory work were developments of those already used on Ecover 3 and Aviva . At the point where candidate boards had been developed for the 1:3 scale testing Giorgio Provinciali developed sections that were optimised around the predicted lift forces which we were expecting the boards to produce, based on the predicted load sharing with the keel. Using MSES, a small adjustment to the final section used on Acciona was made, post scale model testing, once the final load sharing and board type selection had been made.
Model tests were performed at 1:3 scale using a hull selected from the 1:7 scale tests and fitted with a canting keel and dagger-boards with an arrangement that allowed different keel tilt and board toe-in and board tilt angles to be set. These tests were conducted over a 3 week period and were aimed at running the model in its sailing equilibrium condition, with the correct running trim, sailing side force, sail force trimming moment and associated leeway for the water ballast configurations appropriate to each speed, ranging from 9 to 28 knots.
Finally the scaled data from the tank tests was used to refine the hydrodynamic model in the VPP for use when conducting the sailing trials on the new boat.
4. VPP CALCULATIONS
The normal VPP output is a polar diagram of boat speeds for a range of true wind speeds (TWS) and angles (TWA), as illustrated in Table 1, but underlying these speeds are the associated equilibrium hydrodynamic and aerodynamic forces and moments together with the optimised sail configurations. Important data for setting up tank tests or CFD calculations derive from the sail combinations, including masthead or fractional headsails and reef or twist settings that affect the centre of effort height. The water ballast condition affects the stability and combined with the associated sail combinations enable the sailing side force to be calculated. This is used in the tank tests to determine the equilibrium leeway angle.
Table 1 – Boat speeds for different wind conditions
Models were towed in the tank tests from close to the waterline (DWL) whereas the actual boat is driven by sails with a centre of effort approximately 40% of the sail height above DWL. This difference is compensated in the tank by applying trim moment using a ballast shift in the model to simulate the bow down trim from the thrust of the sails. The hydrodynamic drag increases significantly between upwind speeds of 11 knots and running speeds of 28 knots the resulting in large trim moments and it is important to simulate these correctly to ensure that the running trim of the model matches how the boat will actually sail, particularly when reefed downwind and/or flying masthead or fractional gennaker.
It can also be seen from the VPP calculations that the sailing conditions where dagger-boards will be deployed, at boat speeds of less than 15 knots, are with true wind angles below 90 degrees and true wind speeds up to 16 knots.
5. CFD CALCULATIONS
To investigate the upwind performance of a tilted keel with dagger-boards and as a precursor to further tank tests a CFD model was set up. This was created from a 3D Iges file of the hull and appendages, which included straight and curved dagger-boards. Prior to the 1:7 scale hull model testing, all CFD was carried out using straight boards with differing dihedral angles and angles to the centreline in order to develop an initial understanding of the relative trade off between the vertical lift force and induced drag. The dihedral angles ranged either side of vertical, as shown in Figure 2, with the positive angle boards acting in the same manner and creating vertical lift equivalent to those of curved boards.
Figure 2 – CFD model with straight dagger-board
All dagger-boards were cambered and so were asymmetric with handed port and starboard boards. Thus the dagger-boards would produce side force with the hull operating at zero leeway and without any toe-in angle.
The computed drag differences at sailing sideforce were generally less than 1% for an increase in vertical force of up to 3% of the displacement of the yacht. These variations due to dihedral were small enough to tank test the straight dagger-board at just one dihedral angle for comparison with the curved dagger-board.
For later work, creating the foils to be used in 1:3 scale testing, curved boards were developed, as represented in Figure 3, that would more closely model the pressure field between the hull and foil. This was considered to be an advantage that the curved foil has compared to a straight foil with a large positive dihedral angle.
Figure 3 – CFD model with curved dagger-board
The raw data obtained from the panel code at the three different sinkages, with fixed trim, were interpolated to find the results at the desired displacements. The results were then further interpolated for three set values of total side force appropriate for the upwind sailing condition, with the force applied at a distance from the bow to represent the balance with the rig forces, i.e. at a fixed value for the yaw Moment.
Figure 4 – Resistance from CFD calculations
Resistance values from the set side force for one appendage configuration are shown plotted in Figure 4 against the square of side force. It can be seen that, just as with the tank data shown in Figure 11, this produces a linear trend.
Force and moment values for each individual appendage and the hull were tabulated for variations in keel tilt and dagger-board toe-in angles at two different displacements. Also calculated were the leeway angle associated with the side force and drag, an example is shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5 – Variation of leeway with toe in angle
It can be seen that the leeway angle decreased as the toe-in angle of the dagger-board was increased and became negative at higher toe-in angles. Increasing the keel tilt also reduced the leeway angle and caused it to become negative. In effect the angle of attack of the flow over the keel and dagger-board was determined by the fixed side force value that was required and this set the hull leeway.
The interesting data related to performance was the variation in resistance with keel tilt and dagger-board toe-in and an example is shown in Figure 6. The resistance ratios are compared to a base condition of 2 degrees keel tilts with 0 degrees dagger-board toe-in angle. It can be seen that increasing the dagger-board toe-in deduced the drag for all keel tilt angles but was required particularly for the highest keel tilt of 6 degrees.
Figure 6 – Variation of drag with toe-in angle
The upwind resistance variations due to keel tilt with the dagger-board were considerably smaller than those due to keel tilt obtained from the 1:7 scale tank tests without the dagger-board for the reaching condition. Care, however, needed to be exercised because the CFD calculations were run with fixed trim whereas the tank tests were conducted free to trim and the trim changes with keel tilt were significant at 16 knots and will have affected the resistance.
CFD calculations gave the contributions of the individual appendages to the total forces and an example of the side force components with the keel tilt angle at 2 degrees is shown in Figure 7. It can be seen that approximately 80% of the side force was produced by the dagger-board and when the dagger-board toe-in angle was increased to 4 degrees the keel and rudder produced negative side force in order to achieve the required total equilibrium side force. This is considered to be a bad setting because the appendages are working in opposition rather than load sharing. The hull and bulb contributed approximately 8% of the side force and this only varied slightly with dagger-board angles.
Figure 7 – Variation of side force components with toe-in
The CFD results also provided the vertical force produced by each appendage. An example is shown in Figure 8, with the vertical force expressed as a percentage of the displacement of the yacht. This illustrates two features:
The vertical forces increase linearly with sideforce. This is because both are related to the pressure distribution over the appendages. The sailing sideforce is, however, determined by the stability of the yacht and, as is shown in Table 2, this was 12kN for the upwind sailing condition where dagger-boards would be deployed.
The keel produced a small vertical force at the sailing sideforce and the curved dagger-board significantly more but only approximately 5% of the yacht's displacement.
The horizontal projected area of the keel was considerably greater than that of the dagger-board and the ratio of vertical to sideforce was approximately 1.4 from the keel but only 0.5 from the dagger-board. The higher vertical force produced by the dagger-board is attributed to its greater share of the overall sideforce.
Figure 8 – Variation of vertical force with sideforce
The CFD results confirmed sailing experience of the benefit of increasing the dagger-board toe-in angle, particularly with the higher keel tilt angle and provided the basis for setting the matrix of test configurations for the 1:3 scale tank tests. There were also small variations in the heeling moment associated with the dagger-board toe in and keel tilt which were included in the performance analysis.
6. 1:3 TANK TESTS
The tests were conducted in the CEHIPAR Calm Water Towing Tank at El Pardo Madrid. This tank is 320 m long, 12.5 m wide, and 6.5 m deep and the towing carriage operated at speeds up to 10 m/s. The model was mounted from the carriage using the Wolfson Unit's 3post dynamometer as shown in Figure 9. This had previously been used for testing 1:3 scale America's Cup Class yacht models of 24t displacement but was light enough to enable the light 9t sailing displacement of an IMOCA 60 hull to be towed and had suitable load ranges for the high speed runs.
Figure 9 - Model with dynamometer
The tank length enabled tests to be conducted at three upwind speeds or two reaching speeds within one run but the high speed running condition require the full length of the tank. This enabled good productivity from the tests
Tests were conducted with the model in three conditions:
Table 2 - Model test conditions
Tests were conducted at two or three different leeway angles to enable the resistance to be interpolated at the sailing side force and the resistance data was plotted as shown in Figure 10. This figure contains data from upwind configurations with the same curved dagger-board set with 3 degrees keel tilt and tested with three different toe-in angles of 0, 2 and 4 degrees.
Figure 10 – Variation of resistance for different toe-in angles
The speed was stepped up in the run down the tank enabling three speeds of 9, 11 and 13 knots to be tested at a fixed leeway. This resulted in the increase in side force with speed and associated increased values of resistance. Whilst it is an efficient means of testing it results in a group of data at lower side force values for the lower speeds and a higher group of values for the higher speeds, however the resistance values can be interpolated from both groups of data for the sailing side force, which is constant for all speeds, as given in Table 2.
The change in toe-in angle produced relatively small differences in resistance, which was consistent with the CFD results. The resistance at the sailing sideforce was interpolated from the tests at different leeway angles to determine the best toe-in angle.
The effect of toe-in angle on the resistance of straight dagger-boards was less than on curved boards. Comparisons were made between the straight and curved dagger-boards, as shown in Figure 11. These were made across the speed range and for two different heel angles of 15 and 22.5 degrees.
Figure 11 – Comparison between straight and curved dagger-boards
The cross-over boat speed where the curved dagger-boards can be raised was investigated by testing at 14 and 15 knots with and without the dagger-board with the results shown in Figure 12.
The increased wetted area of the dagger-board added form drag, represented by an increase in drag at zero side force but reduced the induced drag, represented by a lower slope in the linear fit through the data. The crossover between the bold lines without the dagger-boards and the feint lines with represents equal drag but occurred at higher side force values with increasing speed. When the cross-over side force was greater than the sailing side force the performance would benefit from the lower drag without the dagger-board.
Figure 12 – Variation of resistance with side force
Results are also included in Figure 12 from tests at 16 knots without the dagger-board. The resistance is significantly higher than at 15 knots but this is partly due to the higher displacement from the ballast condition shown in Table 2. The slope of the linear fit through the data is however significantly lower than at 15 knots, which represents the reduced induced drag at higher speeds. This can be partly attributed to the lower lift coefficient on the keel to produce the required side force. The yacht is also operating in a semi-displacement mode at 16 knots, with an associated Froude number of 0.61, and its trim angle increased by approximately 1 degree and it's heeled asymmetric waterplane also contributed to the side force, although with the tilted keel angle the sailing side force was produced with close to zero leeway, similar to the result from the 1:7 scale tank tests.
The curved dagger-boards could also be tilted, in a similar manner to the canting keel. This tends to load the curved tip of the dagger-board, increasing its vertical lift in relation to its sideforce. An example of results from these tests is shown in Figure 13 and it can be seen that increasing the tilt increased the resistance.
Figure 13 – Variation of resistance with side force for the curved dagger-boards with tilt
The relative loading on the keel and dagger-board was also monitored during the tank tests using strain gauges to measure the bending moments and typical results are shown in Figure 14.
Figure 14 – Variation of keel bending moment with side force
The model scale bending moments from tests at 14, 15 and 16 knots are shown plotted against side force and linear trend lines have been fitted to the data. It can be seen that the data for 14 and 15 knots is distributed about a common line, although the leeway angles associated leeway angles differ. It can also be seen that the bending moment in the keel without the dagger-board is similar to the bending moment from the dagger-board with the keel, indicating that the keel generates the side force in the absence of a dagger-board. There were negative bending moments in the keel at lower values of side force with the dagger-board installed, which was similar to the CFD results shown in Figure 6.
7. UPWIND OPTIMISED STRAIGHT, VERSES CURVED BOARDS
The previous sections describe the background necessary for an understanding of how we undertook the tests and how these led to the results related directly to the comparison of straight upwind optimised, verses curved boards.
Having established from Figure 12 that the additional drag of the curved dagger-board being used for lifting the hull for a given required side force was substantially greater than that of a hull with dagger-board raised at 14, 15 and 16 knots, testing was then undertaken with an upwind optimised straight board at 9, 11 and 13 knots. The results are highlighted in Figure 11.
The difference in vertical lift between the straight and curved dagger-boards was obtained from model scale heave measurements made in the tank and an example is shown in Figure 15. It can be seen that the heave change from static is negative, indicating that the hull has sunk as a result of its wave pattern. The heave becomes less negative with increasing sideforce due to the associated increase in vertical force and it can be seen that the curved dagger-board reduced the sinkage of the model by approximately 5mm.
Figure 15 – Variation of heave with side force between straight and curved dagger-boards
At nine knots of boat speed which would be a very low speed, associated with 8 knots of true wind as shown in Table 1, for a dagger-board to be deployed there was little difference between the drag at equivalent side force and leeway of a curved and upwind optimised straight dagger-board. The difference was more pronounced at higher speeds.
Testing was also undertaken at side loads greater than those capable of being developed by an Open 60 at any reef or ballast condition. In Figure 16, which contains data from the higher stability condition of 22.5 degrees heel, it can be seen only at a sideforces greater than 25 kN or sideforce squared of 625, did the curved dagger-board show signs of less induced drag. This could be attributed to the vertical lift from the board causing a reduction in the resistance of the hull sufficient to overcome the increased induced drag of the foil and so be more efficient.
Figure 16 – Variation of resistance with side force between straight and curved dagger-boards at 22.5 degrees heel
Although the differences in total resistance are small, the conclusion was that the straight board, optimised to develop side force upwind over all wind angles and wind speeds, was more efficient over a curved board or a straight board with an equivalent dihedral angle.
This result has also assumed that boards are of equivalent weight and so given the requirement that the IMOCA rule requires boards to be in the raised position when measured, result in the same bulb weight. This is not the case however. The curved or heavily angled dihedral board needs to be longer to generate the same side force. The increase in board weight related to length is negligible however compared to the increased weight of board (and internal structure of the yacht) required to allow a board to be used at higher reaching boat speeds. For example; engineering a board at stall, at a boat speed of sixteen knots as opposed to a speed of thirteen knots would require a 50% increase in design load. There are significant drivers therefore, discounting potential damping effects of curved boards in waves ,to keep dagger-boards in IMOCA 60's as light as the their required performance envelope will allow.
The combination of tank tests and CFD panel codes enabled a wide range of appendage test configurations to be investigated across a wide range of speeds. The 1:7 scale tank tests were used to compare hulls but also provided information on the beneficial reduction in resistance at semi-displacement speeds due to tilting the fore and aft axis of the canting keel.
The CFD panel code calculations provided information on the relative loading of the keel and dagger-board for the upwind sailing condition with variations of toe-in angles and keel tilt, albeit at fixed trim. The results of which were used to develop appendages and a test matrix for 1:3 scale model testing, cross-check/verify results during testing and refine dagger-board design post testing.
The 1:3 scale tank tests produced similar results to the CFD calculations for the upwind keel and dagger-board combinations, mitigated risk in decision taking and provide substantial confidence in the decision taken regarding the dagger-board selection and the keel tilt angle for the Open 60, Acciona .
Although in ORMA 60's, where lift producing devices clearly work well, in IMOCA 60s one is operating at considerably lower side forces (proportional to righting moment) and at higher displacements. The relationship therefore between additional induced drag from a lifting foil and the reduction in displacement of the hull are quite different. We were able to show in Figure 16 that only at an unrealistic value of side force were we able to produce a situation whereby an IMOCA 60 would benefit in reaching conditions in flat water from utilising lift inducing dagger-boards.
That being said, from a practical point of view, the percentage deltas/differences between dagger-boards that are designed to provide lift as opposed to boards optimised for upwind use are not so significant that they would detract significantly from the performance of a yacht in a range of conditions. The final conclusion for the Acciona team was that there appeared to be no likely performance driven reason to select a heavier more expensive dagger-board type.
The work in this paper was commissioned by Owen Clarke Design as part of their ongoing research and development programme into IMOCA60 design development and acknowledgement is given for their permission to publish.
Thanks are also given to the staff at CEHIPAR and ACCIONA for their assistance in conducting the 1:3 scale tests.

U.S. gun laws fall short, implies new LDS Church President Russell Nelson
(Courtesy LDS Church) LDS Church President Russell M. Nelson addresses young adults at a fireside in Las Vegas on Feb. 17, 2018.

| Updated: May 25, 2022, 7:26 p.m.
In the wake of a deadly school shooting in Florida, LDS Church President Russell M. Nelson criticized U.S. laws "that allow guns to go to people who shouldn't have them."
His comments to a congregation of Mormon millennials in Las Vegas marked the second time the recently installed LDS leader has weighed in on a major national issue (the first one touched on immigration) since he took the reins of the Utah-based faith nearly six weeks ago.
A video of his Feb. 17 speech in Nevada, first obtained by KUTV-Channel 2, shows Nelson lamenting the 17 deaths at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
"I know your hearts are heavy, as are [wife] Wendy's and mine, as we contemplate those ruthless killings in Florida last week," Nelson said. "I think of Alaina Petty, a 14-year-old Latter-day Saint whose life was snuffed out by that sniper's bullet. It's natural for you and others to say: How could God allow things like that to happen? Well, God allows us to have our agency, and men have passed laws that allow guns to go to people who shouldn't have them."
Eric Hawkins, spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, declined Friday to expand on or clarify Nelson's remarks.
The LDS Church has long forbidden guns in its meetinghouses and temples.
"Churches are dedicated for the worship of God and as havens from the cares and concerns of the world," it states in its guidelines for local lay leaders. "The carrying of lethal weapons, concealed or otherwise, within their walls is inappropriate except as required by officers of the law."
But the church has taken no public position on current gun control legislation — nor did Nelson's recent comments spell out a specific stance.
"Generally, the church has avoided comment on political issues," said Matthew Bowman, author of "The Mormon People: The Making of an American Faith. "... This seems to me consistent with that: a statement of moral sentiment rather disconnected from specific policy."
On another prominent issue, though, Nelson and fellow high-level Mormon leaders were clear.
On Jan. 26, they issued a major statement encouraging Congress to move quickly to protect from deportation hundreds of thousands of "Dreamers," whose undocumented parents brought them to the United States as children.
"They have built lives, pursued educational opportunities and been employed for years based on the policies that were in place," the church stated. "These individuals have demonstrated a capacity to serve and contribute positively in our society, and we believe they should be granted the opportunity to continue to do so."
At the time, Hawkins said that immigration statement had been approved by top LDS leadership.
The 93-year-old Nelson, whom Mormons view as a "prophet, seer and revelator," spoke in Las Vegas with his wife barely a month after succeeding the late Thomas S. Monson, who died Jan. 2.
The bulk of his sermon focused on how young Latter-day Saints could lead happy lives, according to a news release from the church. The former heart surgeon counseled them to avoid Satan's temptation and live God's commandments.
The devil uses natural human appetites to lure people into sin, he warned.
"These appetites are absolutely essential for the perpetuation of life. So, what does the adversary do?" Nelson asked. "He attacks us through our appetites. He tempts us to eat things we should not eat, to drink things we should not drink, and to love as we should not love."

The Apostolic Prefecture (or Prefecture Apostolic) of the Delta of the Nile () was a Roman Catholic missionary jurisdiction, situated in the north of khedival Egypt, comprising four of the six provinces forming Lower Egypt: Gharbieh, Charkieb, Menufieh and Kalyiubieh.

History
Prior to the establishment of the Apostolic prefecture, the four provinces contained 1000 Catholics belonging to different Catholic rites. The prefecture was erected by Propaganda Fide on 17 March 1887. In 1888 the Rev. Augustin Duret, of the Lyons Society for African Missions, was appointed first Apostolic prefect and the prefecture confided to the care of this society.

It had at first only two missionary posts, one at Tantah and the other at Zagazig, but a new post was founded at Zifteh in 1887 and another at Mahalla-el-Kebir in 1891. About this time the Egyptian capital Cairo, which had already outgrown its former limits, developed considerably on the north, and populous quarters grew up within the Prefecture of the Delta. For the convenience of resident Catholics, a Latin parish was formed in the Choubra quarter in 1894 and given to the Fathers of the Society for African Missions; in 1896 another Latin parish under the same direction was established at Zeitoun for the outlying districts of Koubbeh, Zeitoun and Matarieh.

Statistics
The official census of 1897 gave for the four provinces of the Delta a total population of 3,282,457; 73,365 being schismatics of different rites, 3091 Catholics of various rites and 241 Protestants. These figures do not distinguish the population of the quarters or outskirts from that of Cairo; on the basis of other returns, the total population of the prefecture may be estimated at about 3,500,000; 100,000 of this number being schismatics and 15,000 Catholics of various rites; over 5000, perhaps, belonging to the Latin Rite.

The Clergy and Religious comprised: Priests of the African Missions, 49; Jesuits, 47; Brothers of the Christian Schools, 17; Petits Fréres de Marie, 8; Sisters of Notre-Dame des Apôtres, 92; Sisters of the Good Shepherd of Angers, 77; Ladies of the Sacred Heart, 34; Religious of Marie Réparatrice, 14; Filles de la Charité, 14; Filles de Notre-Dame des Douleurs, 9; Pieuses Mères de la Nigritie, 16.

There were 4 Latin parishes: at Choubra (Cairo quarter), Zeïtoun (suburb of Cairo), Tantah and Zagazig; 2 succursal parishes (mission churches): at Mahalla-el-Kebir and Zifteh.

The Catholic Educational Institutions were: 1 Jesuit college with 450 pupils; 3 schools conducted by the Priests of the African Missions; at Tantah (231), Zeïtoun (75) and Zifteh (50); 2 Christian Brothers' schools at Choubra (250), and Zagazig (50); the Sisters of Notre-Dame des Apôtres have 6 institutions: at Tantah (249), Zagazig (150), Zeïtoun (110), Zifteh (100), Mahalla (80) and Matarieh (38); 1 boarding-school conducted by the Ladies of the Sacred Heart (60); and 1 institution of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd of Angers (220), making a total of 2113 pupils.

The Catholic Charitable Institutions were: 3 hospitals: 1 conducted by the Filles de la Charité, and 2 by the Pieuses Mères de la Nigritie (150 to 200 sick); 2 orphanages: 1 for boys, conducted by the Filles de la Charité (60 orphans), and 1 for girls by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd of Angers (78 orphans); 5 dispensaries in charge of the Sisters of Notre-Dame des Apôtres, where several hundreds of sick daily receive gratuitous treatment; I home for the aged conducted by the Filles de Notre-Dame des Douleurs where from 50 to 60 inmates, both men and women, are cared for gratuitously; 1 house of refuge in charge of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd of Angers.

The Prefecture of the Delta owed its development chiefly to the prodigious growth of the city of Cairo which, in extending its limits, had to stretch out upon prefectorial territory. Here, as in all cosmopolitan and growing centres, the missionaries found their chief obstacle in religious indifference.

The Itasca was a 190-foot US Coast Guard brigantine-rigged cutter.

The ship was launched in 1892 as the , a U.S Navy training ship. Its commissioning ushered in a new age of training with more modern equipment, and a triple-expansion steam engine that could power the cutter when sailing was not possible.

In 1907, the Bancroft was recommissioned as the Itasca, named after Lake Itasca in Minnesota.  The Coast Guard sold the Itasca in 1922.

THE RUBBER PEEPLE
JOURNEY TO THE GREEN PYRAMID
In an effort to change lanes in Hip-Hop, The Rubber Peeple wanted to familiarize the world with diversity in rap music. Instead of "making it hot", they decided to bring that boom-bap aspect to a simmer. Looking for a more mature sound in Hip-Hop may not seem like a good idea to most, but if you're into braking barriers searching for something different then The Rubber Peeple's third effort Journey To The Green Pyramid is the project for you.
Think about it. A rap album you can sit back and chill to. It has beats with a warm and jazzy objective. The production was done by none other than the underground heavyweights The Cockroach Click. They supplied "Journey To the Green Pyramid" with oven roasted tones that reminds us that rap music is an art-form. The tracks were slowly cooked with a warm- aggressive tones.
The Rubber Peeple did not let down those who know what to expect from them. Their seasoned, specialized formula of raw and innovative choice words brings a sigh of relief to those who require substance in their music. They found a refreshing way to touch on topics like the woes of employment or the pressures of college. It's not every day you find honest lyrics well fashioned to relate to the everyday man and woman.
Journey To the Green Pyramid has a timeless sound that can be heard as nostalgic but designed for the future. It has a sound that makes you feel as though The Rubber Peeple are thoughtful of their listeners. They keep their ears to the streets so that they may not just entertain their fans but also represent them.
This is an album you have to close your eyes to listen to. It's eloquent and eclectic. It's strong and soulful. Its easily identified production and mastery of language arts combine to bring an alternative to what you are used to coming from a Hip-Hop duo. Make way for the new way.


We arrived just in time to get a guided nature walk by a local interpreter who told us of different things about how the indigenous peoples lived. He also told us of what different plants did what.
For one was the reed Tipi.
Then of course there were the dugout houses.
On the way back to from the nature walk, we saw this guy. I'm not sure what he is, but he's big, and he's a bird. (But not Big Bird).
We got to Princeton and found the house of some old friends of mothers. We did something that I never do, we parked on a residential street. Mother's friends assured us that it would be find if we parked in a particular spot, and I did that.
We watched movies and pictures, all from the computer displayed on the TV. Have you ever had an evening of watching three old people talking about how to get this or that to work on the computer . . . fun . . . oh yes.
Today we will be doing something around town, though what, I am not sure. Tomorrow we will drive down to the coast and on Sunday we will have a BBQ at my Brother's (and his family's) house. Then I am in Vancouver and will leave on Friday morning. I am looking forward to exploring Vancouver again and possibly meeting up with old friends.
