The Basel accords (known as Basel I, Basel II, and Basel III) comprise a set of international standards that the capital reserves banks must maintain in order to weather the potential consequences of financial and operational risks. Given that banking operations are highly IT intensive, the Basel committee determined that IT governance, risk and compliance (GRC) must play a role in determining risk adjusted capital reserve requirements.
All three pillars are underpinned by and pose requirements on the IT systems.
Basel III places several demands on IT. The first and foremost is to minimise operational risk arising from the IT infrastructure and its management.
In short, a bank operating with substandard IT controls requires greater capital reserves in order to compensate for the increased operational risk. Thus, Basel II establishes incentives for banks around the world to maintain robust operational controls over their IT operations. It should be noted that Basel II does not create a new set of standards for IT operational controls. Instead, the Basel committee determined that the COBIT framework would provide the basis for these controls.
Because Secure Shell is pervasive in IT operations and has the potential to create great operational harm if misconfigured, the Basel II control objectives for IT security also include requirements that pertain to Secure Shell and particularly SSH key based access. Read the white paper for more details.
Basel III is an extension of the existing Basel II Framework, and introduces new capital and liquidity standards to strengthen the regulation, supervision, and risk management of the whole of the banking and finance sector. While Basel III does not introduce any new IT-related controls or requirements as such, the increasingly stringent standards in other areas further raise the importance of sufficient IT risk control measures.

The game assumes that no cataclysm — natural or human-induced — swept Earth in the 21st century. Instead, constant developments in information technology, genetic engineering, nanotechnology and nuclear physics generally improved condition of the average human life. Plagues of the 20th century (like cancer or AIDS) have been suppressed, the ozone layer is being restored and Earth's ecosystems are recovering (although thermal emission by fusion power plants poses an environmental threat—albeit a much lesser one than previous sources of energy). Thanks to modern medicine humans live biblical timespans surrounded by various artificially intelligent helper applications and robots (cybershells), sensory experience broadcasts (future TV) and cyberspace telepresence. Thanks to cheap and clean fusion energy humanity has power to fuel all these wonders, restore and transform its home planet and finally settle on other heavenly bodies.

Q: ObjectOutputStream and PrintWriter Conflict I have server and client set up, which is basically a basic text email system. I am currently using a PrintWriter to send the text between the server and client. I am trying to create a attachment based system and to do this I am using a ObjectOutputStream.
private static PrintWriter output;
private static ObjectOutputStream outStream;

public ClientHandler(Socket socket) throws IOException
{
    client = socket;
    outStream = new ObjectOutputStream(client.getOutputStream());
    input = new Scanner(client.getInputStream());
    output = new PrintWriter(client.getOutputStream(), true);
}

I currently have the problem where if I try send text via the output printwriter, for some reason extra characters will be added to the beginning of the text that is sent, meaning the program cannot identify key words being passed via the printwriter to the client. The problem will stop if i comment out the creation of the outStream object.
Can anyone give me any advice to try solve this problem of conflict?

A: This extra text is coming from the object output stream.
Attaching an ObjectOutputStream AND a PrintStream to the same outputstream is basically just never going to work. You have to come up with a solution for using 1 or the other. To use just a PrintStream, you might consider converting your object(s) to JSON or XML. On the other hand, you could just use an ObjectOutputStream and write your strings to the ObjectOutputStream

A: ObjectOutputStream should only be used as an ObjectOutputStream on that channel. Use the PrintWriter on another socket if you really need it.

A: Extend your ClientHandler and overwrite the constructor to include code for handling file transfers.  Have two ports open, one for text and another for file transfers.
private static PrintWriter output;

public ClientHandler(Socket socket) throws IOException
{
    client = socket;
    input = new Scanner(client.getInputStream());
    output = new PrintWriter(client.getOutputStream(), true);
}

private static ObjectOutputStream outStream;

public ClientFileHandler(Socket socket) extends ClientHandler throws IOException
{
    client = socket;
    outStream = new ObjectOutputStream(client.getOutputStream());

}

Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, And More 'American Idol' Judges Before They Were Famous
Before they were critiquing aspiring singers, Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and the previous American Idol judges were making their way up in the music industry.
Thanks to the internet, we can see these stars before they were famous. We did the hard work for you and put them all together in one place. Now you can be the judge … of their dated hairstyles.
As a teenager in 2002, Katy Perry (then known as Katy Hudson) appeared on the Christian channel TBN performing "Search Me." The song appeared on her first album, when she was attempting a career in gospel music. (Katy grew up with pastor parents.)
2. Luke Bryan
The above video of country singer Luke Bryan singing his song "We Rode in Trucks" was uploaded in November 2006. In the description, the user says they believe Luke "will become one of the biggest stars ever." A year later, Luke released his debut album, which featured this song as a single.
3. Lionel Richie
Before "Hello" and "Dancing on the Ceiling," Lionel Richie was a member of the Commodores. The musicians were students together at Tuskegee University, and released their debut album Machine Gun in 1974. Above, they perform the title track on Soul Train, with Lionel on the keyboard.
4. Randy Jackson
Before he was calling people "dawg" on American Idol, Randy was a bass player for various well-known music artists. In the 1980s, he played with the rock band Journey, and appeared on their album Raised on Radio. Above, he performs with the band, and Steve Perry even shouts him out.
5. Paula Abdul
Paula Abdul started her career as a Laker Girl, and eventually became the squad's choreographer. This is where she was discovered by the Jacksons, who hired her to choreograph their videos. In 1988, she launched her singing career with debut album Forever Your Girl, and the rest is history.
6. Simon Cowell
We already showed you Simon as a contestant on Sale of the Century when we talked about America's Got Talent judges before fame. Now let's take a look at him on a show called Right to Reply in 1987. In the clip, he criticizes a sex ed program while wearing an '80s version of his signature T-shirt.
7. Ellen DeGeneres
Remember when Ellen judged American Idol for a season? We all know her from her '90s sitcom and long-running daytime talk show, but in 1980s she was just getting her start in stand-up comedy. In 1986, she made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, with quite the hairstyle.
8. Jennifer Lopez
In 1990, J.Lo was the one auditioning in the hopes of becoming a star. She tried out for the Fly Girls, a dance group on the comedy show In Living Color. Although she didn't make it through this time, the show hired her to dance the following year.
9. Steven Tyler
Aerosmith released their self-titled debut album in 1973, featuring the now-classic "Dream On." However, the song wasn't a hit until its re-release in 1976. As you can see from the above video, frontman Steven Tyler's fashion sense hasn't changed much over the years.
10. Mariah Carey
In 1990, Mariah Carey gave an interview in which she talked about the success of her debut single, "Vision of Love." She also talks about music producer Tommy Mottola, whom she ended up marrying in 1993.
11. Keith Urban
Did you know that Keith Urban's career started as far back as 1991? Above, he performs "Got It Bad," from his debut album, on Australian TV. That's quite the hairdo. As one YouTube commenter remarked, "He looks older back then and looks younger now."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq0sZJxT6y0
12. Nicki Minaj
Did you know that Nicki Minaj originally wanted to be an actress? She attended LaGuardia High School, a performing arts school in New York City. In the above clip, she gets a little carried away by throwing a phone during a scene, making her teacher nervous.
13. Harry Connick Jr.
Harry's first album in 1987 was only instrumental. The next year, he released his second album, which featured vocals. In this video, he promotes his music on The Late Show with David Letterman, performing on the piano and talking about his start in music.
14. Kara DioGuardi
Kara may not have been a recognizable face to many American Idol viewers when she joined the panel in 2009, but she already had a flourishing career as a songwriter. She worked with Idol winner Kelly Clarkson, as well as Ashlee Simpson. Above, she coaches Ashlee through a recording session.

Since launching in 2010, Instagram already hosts an impressive 300 million daily users worldwide. Although we are still awaiting the latest stats for South Africa, the most recent South African Social Media Landscape 2016 study (conducted by World Wide Worx and Fuseware) has revealed that there were 2,68 million Instagram users (a year ago), and that Instagram has seen immense growth over the last year.
Snapchat, although still only a 4-year old toddler, already boasts an incredible 150 million fans. This has made Instagram take notice, and made them take a much more 'snapchatty' direction. Instagram used to be more about curating great content, but with their Instagram Stories it has (like with Snapchat) also become about capturing the here-and-now. With Instagram Stories you can share various videos and photos, and let it appear in a slideshow format, called your story. This story is only visible for 24 hours.
So, if you're wondering which platform to use to promote your South African products or services, to South Africans, I'd suggest sticking with Instagram for now, and combining it with Facebook Ads.

You've probably heard the recommendation to fill half your dinner plate with vegetables, but nutritionists definitely weren't referring to tater tots when they said that.
Dietitians sort vegetables into two main categories: starchy vegetables and non-starchy vegetables. Starches are a type of carb, so it's no surprise they have a higher calorie count than the non-starchy vegetables. Starchy vegetables, like potatoes and corn, also impact blood sugar levels like sugar, white flour, and other carbs do.
For a healthy diet, nutrition experts recommend focusing on non-starchy vegetables, which are full of fiber and contain heaps of vitamins and minerals. Here are 11 common examples of non-starchy vegetables to add to your diet.

So I currently am running Nistune. I've gotten pretty familiar with it and I like it, but I don't LOVE it by any means, and I don't live in an area with a whole lot of professional tuners. I have to travel a little more than 2 hours to get to the nearest dyno with a decent tuner. And even then, he's much more versed with AEM.
I think Nistune and AEM are both a bit too much for my needs, as I don't plan on trying to reach 600+ hp (end even then I've seen some guys say they have 600+ hp Enthalpy tuned cars). I'm perfectly happy at ~400hp. I don't plan on changing my setup. If it gets changed, it's getting a V8.
-No O2 sensor currently. Only a Innovate LC1 wideband and Nistune.
So here's a few questions I have about the Enthalpy tunes.
How does he, without ever seeing the car, get things right? How does timing retard under boost happen properly? Are AFR's kept rich under boost based on MAFS voltage? Conversely, are they kept Stoich and/or lean at lower loads (like cruising) the same way? Throttle tip in settings? Idle? I mean.. Every car is different. From the testimonials it seems like he does a REALLY good job (and I'm sure he does). I guess i'm just more curious about how it all works and how he accounts for all the variables, as I'm considering buying one and keeping my Nistune ECU as a backup, or if I ever feel like tuning a bit more.
I've emailed him but haven't heard back. I saw the note on his site saying to mail ECU's to a different address during the month of June, so he may just be out of town or something.
How does the car maker produce thousands of vehicles all with the same MAF part number, injector part number, and ECU part number (& software)?
The tune is VERY dependent on the MAF vs Injector size. If you match the MAF to injector size correctly it makes every car using that combination predictable. It's not perfect but you can predict where TP will put you in the map. This lets him use his experience and know how to place the correct fueling and timing versus TP across the map.

Delaying Radiation Therapy After Early Breast Cancer Surgery Ups Recurrence
by Bidita Debnath on April 20, 2016 at 2:13 AM Cancer News
Stage 0 breast cancer - or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) - is diagnosed based on the presence of abnormal cells in the milk ducts of the breast. Delaying radiation therapy too long after surgery significantly increases the risk of recurrent tumors in women treated for stage 0 breast cancer.
This is according to a new research conducted at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Every year, more than 60,000 U.S. women are diagnosed with DCIS, and experts often debate how best to treat it because the abnormal cells don't always develop into full-blown, or invasive, breast cancer. Standard therapies include lumpectomy, lumpectomy plus radiation, or total mastectomy.
The researchers found that women were much more likely to experience a recurrence of DCIS or higher-stage cancer in the same breast if they received radiation therapy eight or more weeks after a lumpectomy or did not receive radiation therapy after surgery. The data will be presented April 18 at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2016 in New Orleans.
'Not only that radiation therapy is an important component in the treatment of stage 0 breast cancer, but also that it must be received in a timely manner.'
"This study indicates not only that radiation therapy is an important component in the treatment of DCIS but also that it must be received in a timely manner," said Ying Liu, MD, PhD, the study's lead author. She is an instructor in surgery at the School of Medicine and a research member at Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine.
Delays in radiation therapy were more common among women who were black; unmarried; on Medicaid; diagnosed during the later years of the study; diagnosed with larger tumors; or whose cancer wasn't entirely removed during surgery. "These groups, especially, may benefit from undergoing radiation therapy sooner," Liu said.
The researchers studied data from 5,916 women in the Missouri Cancer Registry diagnosed with DCIS from 1996 to 2011 and treated with lumpectomy. Of those women, 1,053 (17.8 percent) received radiation therapy more than eight weeks after surgery, and 1,702 (28.8 percent) did not receive any radiation therapy as part of their initial treatment. The other 53.4 percent of the patients all received radiation without delay, within the eight-week time frame.
During the average six years of follow-up, 3.1 percent of women developed a recurrence of DCIS or an invasive tumor in the same breast. For women who received radiation within eight weeks, the rate of recurrence was 2.5 percent. After adjusting for age, race, pathological factors, surgical margin status and hormone therapy, the risk of breast cancer recurrence was 26 percent higher for women who had delayed radiation therapy and 35 percent higher for women who did not initially receive radiation.
Liu is calling for more extensive research involving a larger group of patients. "What we've found suggests the need for more studies," she said. "Our hope is to provide clear-cut guidelines that will help more women reduce their risk of recurrence." The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services and the University of Missouri oversee the Missouri Cancer Registry.

After 5 years of gathering together every Tuesday (or at least almost every Tuesday) it has come the time to take a look at ourselves and how we are doing. With Arma 3 getting put through its paces and most scenarios having been tried we are getting to a point where some if not most are of the opinion that Tuesday evenings just aren't very compelling anymore. A great many have come and gone and moved to other games, communities or perhaps even non gaming related activities. This has resulted in our participation numbers having a steady declining trend. It is true that in our past decisions have been made or things have been said or actions haven't been taken which have directly resulted in people leaving but for a great many it was just a case of having seen enough. Those of us that still come together every Tuesday do so for eachother. We come together to spend some time with likeminded people while doing an activity which most of us still like and none of us mind.
After discussions among staff and a consequent poll we have decided to make a few changes which will be outlined below. We hope to keep this community going if not going strong up to the release of Arma 4 where we can look to kick-start our way back to the days of 50 people attending and large scale combined arms operations.
Firstly, we will be changing the schedule for operations. Instead of every Tuesday we will be gathering together on Saturdays. Additionally, instead of gathering for an Operation every week we will be doing it every other week. Our first Operation will be on the 22nd of September. We don't intend to do separate training nights anymore, instead if we feel we need to cover some aspect or another for greater success we will have a short session at the start of an Operation. For the immediate future we will not be changing the start and end for the Operations but we do intend to extend them from one or both ends as we get an idea of what is plausible for the attending members.
Secondly, for the other Saturdays on which we don't have an Operation we plan to host community evenings. You can expect anything from Escaping Tanoa to pawning noobs in <insert game of the month> together. We haven't quite figured out the specifics for these evenings, but we will be working them out as we go. The goal, of course, is to involve everyone showing up and make sure everyone has a good time.
Thirdly, due to us having lower attendance and missions going more towards speciality tasks we are readjusting some limitations on our in-game gear restrictions. We will be slightly decreasing the limitations on scopes as well as allowing rangefinders regardless of role.
We hope to see a few of you that have left us previously for greener pastures back, share a great time and more importantly spend the time while awaiting the arrival of Arma 4.
It has been coming for a long time but finally we got off of our procrastinating butts and sorted the situation with the staff members. Both RustingKnight and Ville have decided to step down not being able to devote the time time they would like to Arma 3 and Reach.
The rest of the staff is immensely grateful for for their input, work, opinions and time you have invested in Reach. Thanks Rusting and Ville. Below some words from Rusty and Ville.
I am writing this post as an official and long, long overdue notification of my departure from the operational ArmA 3 community within Reach and the subsequent resignation from my staff position.
I had an incredible few years playing, working and leading with Reach but my interests and real life circumstances changed to the point that attending a regular operation every week stopped being practical.
To those of you still around who remember me, thank you and goodbye.
And with this announcement also comes my departure from the staff team. Before I get in to the sappy last words, I must emphasize that this involves zero drama behind the scenes and we have both merely agreed to step down due to our inability to commit more time to Reach. We discussed this last summer and were meant to do this much, much sooner. As most new people don't even recognize our names, we figured this move had to finally be made.
Creating Reach back in 2013 was one of the most exciting projects I've ever been a part of, and to see where we've gotten and the ride we've all been on since has been very fun to follow. I am immensely proud and grateful of all of the people who helped me and liam to turn a wacky idea we had to a fully-fledged community. Without your contributions and dedication we would still be in the "humble beginnings" part of our story. We've had many ups and downs but in the end I feel that ultimately the strong sides of our community have finally started to shine.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to help create what this community is. Thank you to those who worked to ensure we would have a new website to call our home. Thank you to those who created all of the beautiful art, whether it's screenshots, videos or something else to share with the world. Thank you to the instructors who've helped our new members get introduced to the community. Thank you to all team leads for ensuring operations run smoothly. Thank you to those who spent time creating fun (and sometimes very chaotic) missions for us to play every week. Thank you to everyone for turning up and helping everyone have a fun time.
I want to thank all of you for the years together and thank you for everything you've all done for Reach.
You will still be seeing both Rusty and Ville around discord and other games I imagine so they won't be leaving us completely.
We can't get rid of staff and not have someone else come help us out so for that please everyone congratulate (or commiserate) Saquesh who will be stepping up to take 1 of the slots left vacant. Besides being guardian for us on the Tuesday ops he has already been running some of the day to day around the community helping us out.
In other news Ace will be getting an update over the weekend so keep an eye out for that.
Pack your swim suits, folks!
It is that time of the year again. This coming Thursday, Reach Elite Forces turns two and to celebrate it we have a week full of great events in Arma 3. To start it off, we'll be hosting our official anniversary event tonight, on the 8th of September! If you are a member and want to play with us, head on over to the forums and leave your name to this thread so we'll know you're coming.
But that's not all we have in store for you this week. We'll also be hosting a milsim op on Thursday, to which you can sign up in this thread. And if that's not enough for you, worry not for we've got yet another event on Saturday! Hosted by Mindstorm, you can participate in the re-run of his successful fun event from a week ago! To sign up for that mission, head over to this thread.
In addition to these three events, we've also launched our very own public server for the Exile mod. This server is open for anyone to join and you can find it by searching for ReachEliteForces.com in the in-game server browser. Note that the server may be down during our community operations!
Hopefully this selection includes something you will enjoy! We want to welcome you to join us in celebrating the second anniversary of Reach Elite Forces!
The donations will fully go to the upkeep of the servers. Read more.
Reach Elite Forces is a community focused on providing a high level of immersion in ARMA 3. Experience platoon level organisation during combined arms missions designed for Reach Elite Forces.

Wales devolution gives rise to its new property tax – but how will the market respond?
Since the Welsh National Assembly came into existence in 2011, the Welsh Government were devoid of any powers to raise its own taxes. This power still rested with those in Westminster in antithesis to the rallying cry of the American revolutionaries for "No taxation without representation." However, while demands for devolution have historically been weaker in Wales than in Scotland, the 2014 Wales Act gave the Welsh government tax-raising powers for the first time, enabling Wales to catch up with Scotland somewhat.
This is now being mirrored in the latest changes to property tax in Wales, which has seen the country overhaul its system, much like Scotland did in 2015. So, at the beginning of April 2018, the Welsh Government introduced the Land Transaction Tax (LTT), which together with a landfill tax are the first Welsh national taxes for 800 years.
The new Land Transaction Tax (LTT) has now replaced Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) in Wales and it applies to both residential and commercial property. The tiers are structured similar to that of SDLT, however, the new thresholds separating each tier have increased the progressive nature of the taxation, lessening the tax burden when buying lower-value homes and increasing the amount paid on more expensive purchases. So, how does this new property tax work and what impact will it have on the residential and commercial sector in Wales?
By increasing the initial LTT threshold to £180,000, the Welsh Government believes that the average first time buyer in Wales will pay no LTT. According to the devolved administration, it will leave 95% of purchasers paying the same amount or less tax than before, although the remaining 5% of buyers will have to pay a greater amount of tax.
The figures support this too. With the average house price in Wales £153,034, an average homebuyer who would have previously paid £560 in SDLT now pays nothing under LTT. Even in Monmouthshire, Wales's most expensive region, with average prices of £245,080, buyers will still make savings with LTT compared to SDLT, paying £124 less in tax on average.
But while it looks like the average homebuyer in Wales will benefit, the same cannot be said for the buy to let and high-end market. Purchasers of homes with one property or more are still faced with a 3% surcharge as per SDLT in England and Northern Ireland. This, combined with the new tiers, means that buyers of a £1m Welsh second home are now faced with LTT charge of £91,250, instead of £73,750 of SDLT. Where sales are over £2m, the differences are even more stark, with the tax requirement rising from £213,750 to £258,350.
[Land Transaction Tax and Stamp Duty Land Tax (England and Northern Ireland) compared]
Land transaction tax (LTT) Wales Residential Property
£0 to £180,000 0%
£180,000 to £250,000 3.50%
£750,000 to £1.5m 10.00%
£1.5m+ 12.00%

£150,001 to £250,000 1% 2%
£250,001 to £1m 5% 5%
£1m+ 6% 5%
For the commercial sector the changes under LTT are more significant. Of most concern is the difference in the top rate of LTT on commercial property transactions of £1m and above, with LTT increasing the rate by 1% from 5% of the SDLT rate to 6%.
The volume of deals at £1m or above is significant, representing 79% of Welsh commercial deals, while deals of more than £10m comprise close to a quarter of commercial property transactions in Wales. These include key projects that have helped kick start regeneration and boosted employment, such as Swansea University Bay Campus at £87.3m and the UK Government's Property Unit at Central Square at £117.2m.
The property sector is a global market where there are few international boundaries for investment and where national governments actively compete to attract funds. The proposition for inward investment has to be competitive and it must be attractive to investors. There are fears that LTT will act as a deterrent for investors, which directly conflicts with the Welsh Government's policy to attract inward investment to promote economic growth and prosperity.
To illustrate the impact, Allsop's national investment team sold 'Project Wildcat' in June 2017 which comprised six industrial units, a hotel and leisure park spread across South Wales for a combined price of £33.4m. Purchaser costs for this transaction at the time stood at circa £2.26m providing a return of 8.5% (NIY). If the portfolio was sold today however, for the same price, an investor would incur additional costs of circa £320,000 due to the new tax changes, reducing its return to circa 8.42% (NIY).
Whilst it may be a deterrent to some, we consider that the majority of investors will remain in the market for Welsh properties but will adjust their bids on commercial and residential investment properties accordingly to ensure they still receive the desired net yields. So, for the above example, the investor would most likely adjust their bid downwards to ensure a return of 8.50% is realised. As such, landlords are likely to feel the brunt of the new LTT changes as investors may dampen their bids going forward to maintain a good yield.
This new tax regime offers mixed fortunes for those in the sector, with perhaps residential owner occupiers benefiting the most. Prices may be forced to adjust in the Welsh commercial sector, temporarily dampening the market. In the longer-term, appetite for good quality investment opportunities is likely to prevail, sustaining existing levels of investment.

HomeArticlesPeter Mullen; Is the Catholic Truth Society now the Catholic Feelings Society?
Peter Mullen; Is the Catholic Truth Society now the Catholic Feelings Society?
25th October 2016 Peter Mullen Articles 8
There is a certain irony about so called Liberal Catholics' impatience with the liberal Pope Francis (Magazine 21 Oct). They complain that the Pope's reform programme is "rapidly becoming overdue." In the 19th century, John Henry Newman predicted that the emerging choice for Christians in Europe would be between "liberalism and its antidote Catholicism." He stressed repeatedly that liberalism is the most dangerous enemy of the Catholic faith. Yet now we have liberal Catholics!
Newman wrote: "The tendency of the age is towards liberalism. But truly, religion must be based on authority of some kind – not upon sentimentality. It is the church which is the only legitimate guarantor of religious truth. The liberals know this and are in every possible manner trying to break it up."
If Newman thought there was a pervasive mood of sentimentality in his day, he should see us now. In our touchy-feely age, feelings rule. No one asks us what we think, but only how we feel. The television reporter enquires, "How did you feel when your mother was burned to death when your house caught fire and you discovered you'd lost everything?" And the awful thing is that the emphasis on feelings homogenises every experience into an equal seriousness – or rather a lack of seriousness: "How did you feel when you scored that winning goal?" or "How did you feel when you won that Bafta?" Well, we know how she felt – because she was emoting all over the place.
The trouble with feelings, especially in the all-important important subject of religion, is that they have no connection with truth. In fact, in the multifaith culture promoted by our liberal diversity-mongers, it is thought indecent to speak of truth in the matter of religion. Instead, it is regarded as enough to be sincere. But sincere about what?
Newman outlined what he called "the Principle of Liberalism" and it is, "…that truth and falsehood in religion are but matters of opinion; that one doctrine is as good as another; that the Governor of the world does not intend that we should gain the truth; that there is no truth; that we are not more acceptable to God by believing this man than by believing that one; that no one is answerable for his opinions; that they are a matter of necessity or accident; that it is enough if we sincerely hold what we profess; that our merit lies in seeking, not in possessing; that it is a duty to follow what seems to us true; that it may be a gain to succeed, but can be no harm to fail; that we may take up and lay down opinions at pleasure; that we may safely trust to ourselves in matters of Faith and need no other guide."
In our times we might say that the pervading cultural spirit or atmosphere is a sort of decadent Romanticism or narcissism. When it comes to evaluating any experience, it is all a case of enquiring how it makes us feel. But I can produce desired feelings in myself by taking a pill. As Aldous Huxley demonstrated in 1954 in The Doors of Perception, he could simulate the profoundest mystical experiences by taking mescalin or LSD. But the foundation of genuine mystical experience is truth. Huxley's psychological experiments into hallucinated pharmacology produced only a counterfeit spirituality.
In our weak-kneed culture of sentimentality, we have no place for truth. People regularly speak of "my truth" and "your truth." But unless there are objective truths, the word "truth" can have no meaning. In its entire history, until comparatively recently, the Church understood this. And, when I last looked, The Catholic Truth Society – founded by Cardinal Herbert Vaughan in 1868 – is still going strong. And it has not changed it title into The Catholic Feelings Club.
Our touchy-feely times have no room for dogma or true doctrine. "Dogmatic" is now a dirty word. And, if doctrine is mentioned at all, it is only with a negative connotation, as in "indoctrination." But Catholics need to be indoctrinated today more than ever. Some specific, objective truths have to be put into us. The Catholic faith rests upon the revealed historical truths concerning what God has really and actually accomplished in Christ and upon the definite moral truths which this revelation prescribes as our response.
As Newman saw, liberalism is the disease for which Catholic truth is the cure. Use of the word "liberal" should be confined to that party which talks a lot about proportional representation.

I have a personal attachment to the CTS from boyhood, and still have a large number of their attractively covered pamphlets including their then first-class Studies in Comparative Religion. I first encountered them on a family visit to Buckfast Abbey where I came across two on the existence of God. I was impressed by CTS intellectual quality and the refutation of various anti-RC prejudices, so much so that I spent some Saturdays bus-riding to Victoria and visiting the CTS bookshop, Burns Oates and the Catholic Central Library which was then an Aladdin's Cave of apologetics. Who could forget Fathers Thurston, Martindale, Knox, Rumble, &c? I was led on to NT scholars like Felder, Grandmaison, Prat, Butler &c and popular apologists like Belloc, Chesterton, Lunn, Sheed &c. I used to attend Mass, but never then or since have had any positive religious experience or recognisable response to prayer. The Church seemed to suffer from gradual decomposition not long after Vatican 2, and I myself have gradually moved towards atheism. My discussions with priests have not helped. The last Mass I attended was the Tridentine celebration which was given for Cardinal Mindszenty decades ago. The CTS is a shadow of its former self.
To lose faith in religion is no fun; it is a grief comparable to the death of my beloved parents, the racial ruin of my old grammar school and its locality, and the damage to my English homeland by alien immigration, wokism and decadence. As the Jewish atheist libertarian Ayn Rand said in a related context, "There is tragedy in the spectacle."
Jovan Weismiller 3rd November 2016 at 6:45 am
I remember when I was much younger, before the Second Vatican Council. Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons would come to your door seeking to proselytise for their pagan cults. A sure defence was simply to say 'I'm sorry. I'm a Catholic'. Today, they seek out Catholics! They know that the average Catholic today is un-catechised and knows absolutely nothing about the Truths of his Faith. Easy pickings for cults of every sort. The fruit of liberalism! As Don Sarda y Salvany said, 'Liberalism is a sin'!
Hos Rododak 30th October 2016 at 5:17 pm
The right ethical starting point is the basis for the political. Freedom is not obtained without it. Our Lord and Savior provided that starting point in a peerless way, along with a few other things of course. One is not actually "free" to refuse the Church, although God does not coerce the will. Unfortunately, the wolves have exercised control over the sheep since the death of Pius XII and a pseudo-Church promotes a totalitarian spiritualized communism.
Martin Pinder 26th October 2016 at 9:39 pm
If religion is the only truth then you still do have individual liberty, you have the choice to accept or reject the truth.
roger in florida 26th October 2016 at 4:31 pm
I have a question: Does the Salisbury Review believe in individual liberty? I ask this because articles like this deny liberty, deny rationality, deny freedom. What Mr. Mullen means when he talks of "truth" is actually absolutism. In this he is no different than the mad mullahs of islam, or the Jewish crazies, or any of the other peddlers of religious superstition. Fortunately enough people, many of them, particularly in times past, incredibly brave, have challenged the priests and refused to bend and kneel before the liars. Whatever the faults of our secular societies no sane person would want a return to rule by priests.
Robert Sharpe 29th October 2016 at 10:24 pm
Priests have never ruled any country in the west.
That has been the job of politicians and/or militarists – and, looking at our present situation, a rather poor fist they have made of it.
As a nation, we are today more 'secular' (a polite word word for heathen) than ever before and yet we kneel lower and before bigger lies than the Devil could ever invent.
Peter Ross 1st November 2016 at 12:19 am
Hello, roger in florida!
I don't think the Salisbury Review is required to believe in "individual liberty" or any other abstract concept. This admirable publication claims to be "wrong-headed, politically incorrect, reactionary and conservative"; a list of adjectives that implies a wide range of interesting attitudes, including, but not necessarily limited to, the two principal strands in modern conservative thinking: libertarianism and authoritarianism. Both libertarians and authoritarians sometimes express "what most sensible people believe", because most sensible people's beliefs are a mixture of the vaguely authoritarian and the vaguely libertarian. Undiluted libertarians will read articles here by undiluted authoritarians which they hate, and vice versa, but most of us will find that we agree with some of what both sides have to say.
Incidentally, Dr Mullen's article ends with "Use of the word 'liberal' should be confined to that party which talks a lot about proportional representation." Does he mean UKIP?
roger in florida 1st November 2016 at 6:22 pm
Hello, Peter Ross!
Certainly the Salisbury Review is not "required" to believe in "individual liberty", I merely asked a question. The fact that the question has gone unanswered suggests to me that the Salisbury Review does not believe in individual liberty, it is, as you say, a reactionary, conservative magazine. "Individual liberty" is only an abstract concept if you don't have it, which, if you are living in England, you do not. If you disagree with that statement I suggest you ask the greatest living Englishman; Tommy Robinson, just what is the current status of "English liberty". Libertarianism may be a "principal strand" of modern conservative thinking, however, as expressed by its most vocal enthusiasts as something akin to anarchy, it is also a fantasy. Nature abhors a vacuum, and it abhors a political vacuum more than any other. Power will be assumed or seized because power is coveted and those who can seize it, whether they be priests, generals or politicians will seize it. That leaves us with a greater or lesser degree of authoritarianism as the only viable political system, the question then becomes how to construct and control authority. Christians would have us base our political philosophy on belief in the virgin birth, resurrection from the dead, the afterlife, the holy trinity and other such nonsense. Skeptics, such as me, would base our system on natural justice, rationality and a realistic assessment of the human condition as described to us by our experience and historical observation. It is a truism that liberty cannot exist without law, but how is the law to be derived? Take a look at those societies that have, and do, base their politics on religion; they are without exception backward, squalid, tyrannical, ignorant and poverty stricken, I will take the secular society any time thank you.
As for "proportional representation"; the Liberal & SDP parties were for PR for many years before UKIP showed up. PR tends to encourage single issue parties, thus splintering the political scene, probably not a bad thing in my estimation: I wonder if a single issue; "3rd world immigration" protest party (without the baggage of the BNP) may have been able to save England, it is too late now of course.


This is my "Boo Boo Kitty" AKA "Boutros Boutros Ghali Girl".
She's a balinese (siamese with longer hair, and like a siamese she's very vocal, always demanding I spend less time on and more time cuddling her. Awwww. I adopted her from the RSPCA in 1995.
Shot on Kodak's current colour process b&w. Some minor manipping in PS6.
Great image! I love the lighting and the lightsource. Great lamp!
She posed just like the lamp! That's awesome!!
Like the pose. Interesting lighting. Looking forward to seeing more of her.
The cat poses well !!

Armie Hammer Scales a Cliff in This Nerve-Wracking Running Wild with Bear Grylls Sneak Peek
Do not watch if you're afraid of heights
Lindsay MacDonald Dec. 2, 2019, 9:00 a.m. PT
If you have a serious fear of heights like Armie Hammer, we recommend you brace yourself before watching him scale a mountain on Running Wild with Bear Grylls. We wish we could say we were exaggerating, but in this exclusive sneak peek, we genuinely thought we were about to watch him plummet to his death!
In the upcoming episode, airing Dec. 3, the Golden Globe-nominated actor teams up with Bear Grylls in Sardinia to search for a secret, underwater smuggling cave, but to do so he's got to conquer his fear of heights first. And what's the best way to do that? Climb a mountain with sharp rocks at the bottom!
Though we kept waiting for the rocks to crumble and give way to a horrendous fall, this isn't a James Bond movie, so nothing of the sort occurred. Hammer made it to the top unscathed, if a little shaky. And you would be too after a climb like that!
Discover your new favorite show: Watch This Now!
Running Wild with Bear Grylls airs Tuesdays at 10/9c on Nat Geo.

Lost Dutchman State Park fans can adopt a saguaro
February 10, 2011 February 5, 2011 by Yuri Artibise
[Source: Jim Walsh, The Arizona Republic]
Fans of Lost Dutchman State Park will have an opportunity to hug a saguaro later this year, but only their bank accounts will be stuck.
The Friends of Lost Dutchman State Park organization is launching an "Adopt a Cactus" fundraiser. It has photographed 100 saguaros and tracked their locations with global positioning system coordinates.
"This is way, way cool. People can go to a website and adopt a cactus," said Mark LeResche, an owner of Superstition Harley-Davidson and president of Friends of Lost Dutchman.
Reinhart, the organization's vice president, said details are still being worked out and the sponsorships should be available sometime in April. The sponsorships should be available during a March 26 motorcycle ride sponsored to raise money for Lost Dutchman. She said the saguaros are on the Treasure Loop, near the Cholla picnic area.
The sponsorships probably would cost from $75 to $100 per saguaro, with older saguaros costing more because they are more intricate. The project is one of many volunteers are undertaking to support the park, which nearly closed a year ago.
Jay Ream, assistant director for operations of Arizona State Parks, said he probably wouldn't intervene in the plans. Friends groups are non-profits and not directly under the supervision of the parks system.
"As long as they are not carving their name in the saguaro, there's no problem," he said.

What does Bolsonaro's win mean for Brazilian stocks?
Equities 6 minutes to read
Head of Equity Strategy
Summary: Investor optimism is high in the wake of right-wing politician Jair Bolsonaro's Brazilian election win, but Brazilian shares are not exactly cheap, and the country still faces severe structural issues.
Investors are showing significant optimism on Brazilian equities following Jair Bolsonaro's election victory in Brazil. Political commentators have explored the potential for closer links between the US and Brazil and away from China as the latter has groomed relationships with Brazil to preserve a steady supply of key raw materials for China's economic boom.
Bolsonaro's right-wing stances, complete with counsel from University of Chicago-trained financial advisor Paolo Guedes, could be seen as making him a natural ally to the pro-business US president. The long-term disconnect between politics and equity markets, however, is often huge and investors should be careful about turning too optimistic on Brazil. The country's unemployment rate has spiked over the past four years following the collapse in commodity prices, stronger USD and higher interest rates.
Brazil is still one of those countries that played its hand very badly during the commodities super-cycle. But even more importantly, the equity market is not cheap enough to warrant risk-taking by foreign investors.
Brazilian equities are not outright expensive as they were in the last year before the Great Financial Crisis in 2008, but they are certainly not cheap as corporate profitability has plummeted during the recent weak macro years. In terms of valuation we are observing 0.5 standard deviations of 'expensiveness' across our preferred nine valuation metrics.
But how important is that for future returns?
Based on the short history of credible data on Brazilian equities, there is a clear link between valuation and their subsequent realised real return, as expected. Based on the current valuation, the expected 10-year annualised real return is around 3% (with a wide confidence band).
That's attractive on the surface but these numbers are in BRL so the attractiveness is only valid for domestic investors. For foreign investors, the opportunity looks less attractive. The current average inflation rate is around 4.5% and if it stays at that level over the coming years, then the expected nominal return in BRL is around 7.5%.
Unfortunately, foreign investors cannot capture this expected return. For a European investor there are two options. You could invest in Brazilian equities and assume the currency risk in EURBRL or, alternatively, invest in Brazilian equities and hedge the currency risk.
The current Brazilian one-year interest rate is around 7% and the one-year euro area rate on a GDP-weighted basis is 0.6%. When a European investor hedges the currency risk, the attractive local return disappears.
Ultimately, Bolsonaro's victory is not enough to change our view. The opportunity is interesting for local investors, but for many foreign investors the Brazilian equity market is not attractive enough if one does not want to assume the currency risk.

International Criminal Responsibility of the Individual: A Quantum Leap for Man's Humanity
Giovanni Distefano, Professor of International Law At the University of NeuchatelFollow
Properly speaking, international criminal responsibility is not a new chapter of public international law, but rather the recent revival of an old chapter of the Law of Nations. In the recent past, we have seen the emergence of ad hoc international criminal tribunals that is with a limited competence, as established in their statutes.[1] Instead, today's International Criminal Court enjoys, within its statutory (treaty) limits, a general jurisdiction; it is thus a permanent organ of a general character, mirroring the ICJ in matters of international criminal law. It will also be in charge of the international criminal responsibility of the individuals.
In contrast with the two previous approaches, based on 'right', we will deal here with 'obligations' that are bestowed upon the individual, that is, international obligations not to commit some acts characterized as crimina iuris gentium. PIL deals with the individual by prohibiting the perpetration of such crimes. The individual is therefore construed as the passive subject within international legal relations; he must account – before municipal and international courts alike – for his misdeeds (violation of international obligations) committed against States as well as other individuals.[2] Thus, if, from the angle of international human rights protection, responsibility involved an active personality, in this case the personality is deemed to be passive.
Aside from international "crimes" of the States whose existence remains to be carefully considered,[3] international law contemplates the existence of certain categories of crimes committed by individuals acting either individually, or as State organs. Still, only a few of these violations are susceptible to be prosecuted and punished on the international plane while others are only prosecuted and punished by national jurisdictions.
The revolutionary developments which have punctuated this province of PIL from the second half of the Twentieth century onwards, severely stepping into one of the core elements of the State reserved domain (of criminal repression) show that the individual must also be considered as an international subject in this domain, as long as he is directly prosecuted and tried by an international judiciary mechanism.
It is indeed on the plane of international punishment of these crimes that the individual arose in international law as a bearer of international obligations, and as such as a subject of international law.[4] Finally, it is important to note that an individual's criminal responsibility does not affect, in any way, the eventual concomitant international responsibility of the State, on the contrary this "duality of responsibility continues to be a constant feature of international law".[5] Indeed, if its conduct can be attributed to a State in one way or another,[6] then the State's international responsibility can be engaged. Henceforth, there will be two international responsibility (the individual's and the State's) within the international legal order which could give rise to different types of repression and forms of sanctions.[7]
Keywords: international criminal responsibility, international criminal law, war crimes, crimes against humanity, crime of aggression, crime of genocide, International Criminal Court, ad hoc international criminal tribunals.
[1] For instance, Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda
[2] It ought to be noted that individual's international criminal responsibility is not in fact incurred vis-à-vis those persons who have actually suffered (or were affected) by the perpetration of his crime. Here we find again, yet with inverted roles, the same equation in the previous two perspectives, i.e. State or the International Community (injured party) and individual (defaulting party).

Singula Decisions – Subscriber Intelligence
Singula Decisions
Subscriber Intelligence
Brand Strategy, Identity & Website
This is a business that has evolved over a period of 20 years from managed services to technology to AI. This was an opportunity to shed its skin and look to the future, rebranding from Paywizard to Singula Decisions. A more relevant name has provided a substantial anchor to support the new brand story. But it's not all new, new, new. The experience and knowledge of the team over the past 20 years, working with subscription TV services such as RacingTV, ITV, Sky has given Singula Decisions a significant differentiator. They know subscribers. And they know subscription businesses. This is baked into everything they do and had to be a major factor in the brand story. Our challenge was to shape and create a new brand story and visually bring it to life, with maximum resonance.
In a world where data is the core of every message, for virtually every tech business, we needed to set Singula Decisions apart from the crowd and give them a distinctive look and feel that is relevant and memorable. We shaped a brand strategy and identity that focused on the 'continuous nature of insight' and how Singula Subscriber Intelligence reveals subscribers in real-time. The website is the primary brand asset and canvas to deliver the brand story. We also created templated Microsoft Office tools to ensure the brand look and feel is readily supported by the entire Singula Decisions team.
The initial phase of the brand has been well received with clients, prospects and the internal team. We continue to develop assets, deepen the messaging documentation and deliver tools to help the sales team in their efforts.

Instinct and intuition are said to be the same thing - an innate, primitive intelligence. But is intuition truly nothing more than a primal urge? I believe instinct is the unconscious language of the body, while intuition is the unconscious language of the soul. Intuition is the earthly language of Spirit and it transcends the limitations of this world.
The psychic gift of clairsentience is an extra-sensory ability that is probably the most common, since it is a clair sense shared by most psychics, mediums, healers and highly sensitive people. Clairsentience is often also the first psychic ability to emerge in gifted children. Yet, its apparent 'simplicity' must not be underestimated.

Flu News with Scrubs Alum Sarah Chalke
Arm yourself against the flu for kids' sake, says actress and mom Sarah Chalke. Photo by Eric Reed/AP Images on behalf of Faces of Influenza.
Flu is a big deal and it hit early and hard. But it's not too late to get a flu shot: flu season can last as late as May. "Like all mothers, I do whatever I can to keep my son healthy—and that includes getting him immunized against the flu. I've learned that everyone is at risk of catching and transmitting this disease. So my family and I get annual vaccines to make sure we don't spread the virus to him," says actress Sarah Chalke, known for playing Dr. Elliot Reid on the hit TV series Scrubs and starring in the comedy series How to Live with Your Parents (for the Rest of Your Life) set to premiere in April.
The widely available vaccine is a good match for circulating flu bugs and immunity kicks in after two weeks. Federal health experts recommend that everyone 6 months of age and older be immunized annually, yet fewer than half of children ages 6 months to 17 years were immunized during the 2011-2012 flu season. Flu can lead to severe complications, even death, for patients or those with whom they come into contact. Each year in the U.S., influenza and its related complications result in an average of 226,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 to 49,000 deaths.
No vaccine is perfect. To boost your defense during outbreaks, avoid crowds and keep hands away from your face because pesky flu viruses can lurk for hours on hard surfaces. Six of the grimiest places you encounter through the day include: the kitchen sink, elevator controls (especially the first floor button), shopping cart handles, purses, playgrounds, gym equipment, and the office phone, according to leading commercial cleaning franchisor Coverall Health-Based Cleaning System®.

Storm Opening Weekend Approaches
November 12, 2018 - National Basketball League of Canada (NBL Canada) - Island Storm News Release
After a long offseason it's finally Storm season again. Season tickets are still on sale, and single game tickets for this weekend are on sale now. Don't miss the Cape Breton Highlanders in town on Friday, November 16th at 7:00pm and the Saint John Riptide on Sunday, November 18th at 2:00pm. Tickets on sale at the Eastlink Center Box Office at https://boxoffice.eastlinkcentrepei.com. Season ticket holders please come out to the PEI Brewing Company at 7:00pm on Tuesday, November 13th to meet this year's Island Storm.
Opening weekend will be a big test for the Storm. The Highlanders look to be a much improved squad with the additions of veteran big man Kenny Jones and former Halifax Hurricane sharpshooter Taquan Zimmerman along with the return of last year's star Bruce Massey. Saint John comes to town led by the always dangerous Malcolm Miller. Miller led the team last year at 18.3 points per game, while shooting over 42% from 3 point range. Importantly for the Tide, head coach Nelson Terroba returns for his second season. A former G-League assistant, most NBL insiders feel that Coach Terroba did a great job last year as a young coach with a rebuilt roster.
The Storm's offseason goal was to put together a team with more size, more athleticism and better shooting. When injuries hit last year's team, the lack of outside shooting exposed a weakness other teams took advantage of. One of those injured was Tyler Scott. The former UPEI sharpshooter returns to the Storm to build on his solid rookie season where he averaged 8.7ppg. The Storm's other UPEI alum is Brad States, now the old man of the team in his 3rd season. Look for Brad to have a break out season this year. He's added strength through his summer workout program and is ready to establish himself as an elite forward in the NBL. Tyrell Baines returns to the Storm after a season away, and big man Carl Hall will join the team in December.
The Storm roster is rounded out with veteran pro's and high flying rookies looking to make a name for themselves in the NBL. The leader in the exhibition season was Sampson Carter, a 6'8" forward who was a high school MVP in Tennessee before spending 4 years at the University of Massachusetts. Sampson has played overseas, in the NBA G-league and with the Memphis Grizzlies of the NBA. Storm fans will love Sampson's complete game. An exceptional ball handler for someone his size, Sampson can score from the inside or outside, and is a natural leader on the court. A solid 3 point shooter with a complete range of post moves, Sampson is a natural fit for Coach Kendrick's high octane offense.
The Storm is going to use this newsletter to dive into some of the details of how the team comes together, and where the Storm finds these great athletes. Tell your friends that are true Storm fans to get the inside scoop they need to head to http://www.islandstorm.ca/newsletter to sign up. See you all Friday night!!

Over the past few days I've been obsessing over light blue everything. Shoes, handbags, dresses, you name it! I've tried on a dress at Zara and contemplated a purse from Aldo all in the last week. If you can't tell I'm smitten but not ready to commit. I think I'll be heading back for the Aldo purse or maybe ordering it online. Since spring items are only starting to come out now it might be a good idea to wait and see what other pieces I might fall in love with. Here are a few of the pieces that are just the perfect shade of light blue.
