They Say …. #AlexOLoughlin Is Dedicated And Then Some …
Some recent mention of Alex by Peter Lenkov
plenkov
March. 2010. First day of shooting the pilot for Hawaii Five-0.Alex arrives in his full dress. Medal salad glistening. Looking like the formidable SEAL I imagined when I was writing. One of the crew leans over and whispers to me "He's so handsome. He looks like a male stripper just before he rips off his uniform". 😳 He was right. Alex won the DNA lottery… and that can be a negative for many reasons on a show like this… but AOL's acting… his dedication to the character… keeping it honest… is what got us to 240 episodes.
In my opinion Peter Lenkov has been saying wonderful thing about Alex since the end of Hawaii Five-0, but for me personally it is kind of too little and too late. Maybe if he had shown more of this appreciation over the course of the 10 seasons, there would have been more than 10 …..
Some pictures to remind us
And some gifs
Alex and Jean Smart on H50 set – 6 March 2010
So great to see Jean winning the latest Emmy and also the Golden Globe last week as "Leading Actress in a Comedy Series" for her wonderful performance in Hacks. It is a pity her talents were only used for 4 episodes of H50.

After seeing Lenkov's post I was wondering if you would mention it here. 😉
And yes, ITA, it is too late. It always annoyed the heck out of me that he never praised Alex yet every grain of sand rolling on the beaches of Hawaii. Even after esp. terrific performances, after all Alex's VoEs, he didn't say anything unless some fans asked him about it. That bugged (and still bugs) me so much. Alex never phoned it in (like others did), Alex never got special treatment (like others did), Alex always showed a ton of commitment (like others didn't) and showed a zillion facial expressions, telling the story with just one look (like others didn't). And yet he always has been kind, humble and down to earth, never made fun of the show and showed any kind of disrespect (like others…. you get me.)
Thanks for this post.
Alex made this show. No Alex – no 5-0.
And looking at these wonderful pics and gifs says it all. There is no Andy, no Mick, no Vincent, no Alex. Just Steve.

Amen to that! Well said! ❤

A perfect comment, leiCa!

I am in total agreement with you FOYeur….too little too late!
On another note just how handsome is he in a uniform huh??♥♥ Always loved seeing him period but when he put on this uniform or the white one OMG!!😍😍
Sorely missing him and all the talent he has to give. I remain hopeful though.😌
Thanks much FOYeur for the pleasure.😊
I just read it and didn´t believe my eyes. Does Lenkov hate Alex so much or think so low of him to write, he looks like a male stripper? That´s disgusting and disrespectfull. Lenkov forgets who was for a huge part responsible for H5O success and not because that person took his cloths off. 😡 I wrote a comment on his instagram account. Btw. I just remembered what Lenkov did to Lukas Till, who didn´t train his body to look like Lenkov wanted. This post shows once again how abusive P.L. is. I just hope, he won´t succeed to damage Alex´s further carreer with his "nice" comments. Alex is neither only suitable as an action hero, nor is he a sex symbol/male stripper! Alex is a really fine and dedicated actor who still looks gorgeous. Period!
Well, seems I didn´t write this comment thoroughly. It was apparently not Lenkov himself who made that "stripper" comment. But he heavily utilized Alex as a sex symbol and apparently taking advantage of Alex´s not setting boundaries in what he was willing to do. First P.L.writes, Alex is only suitable as action hero and even wrote, Alex was wrongly cast in Moonlight and Three Rivers what you can read in several early interviews and now this post sounds like he is praising Alex but comes across disrespectful towards him. Strange. What is that post teally about?
"read". Seems, I´m still to angry to coment, Sorry.
FOYeur
"What is that post really about?"
I understand how you feel about the post. But as you can see with the heading of this post, I choose to read it as if the first part was just to introduce the last sentence … "Alex won the DNA lottery… and that can be a negative for many reasons on a show like this… but AOL's acting… his dedication to the character… keeping it honest… is what got us to 240 episodes."
I think by that he means that a pretty face and a beautiful body might sometimes get in the way of a good actor and his performance on a show, but that in the end, it was Alex's acting skills and dedication that made the show last so long.
And for me, THAT is a great compliment.
Well, yes. If he really meant it that way, it was indeed a great compliment. But after reading what he said for years and the way he acted (f.e, remember Lukas Till who obviously was not sexy enough for P.L. which is imo a contradiction to what he writes now – just to mention) and the way he took advantage of Alex not setting staunch boundaries, making him take his shirt off over and over again I highly doubt it. Well, let´s rest that case. I hope, Alex will be on a new project when he is ready and receive the praise and respect he deserves for what he is: A highly talented and dedicated artist and a good, intelligent man.
What I read here at my end is that Lucas T. felt constantly under pressure, because so much of the show rested upon his shoulders, and this was the cause of the conflict between him and PL, who expected much more from him, esp. on a physical level. Physical as regards strength and fitness, not in the sexy sense. The author suggested that LT was not mentally prepared to sustain the weight of a show of that caliber.
I know absolutely nothing about LT and have nothing against him. I have not even watched one MacGyver epi nor any of his works, so I don't know if the author was right in his assessment or not.
But it may well be that PL expected from LT what Alex gave so naturally: physical and mental strength, integrity, commitment, drive and professionality. Well, when you're used to excellence, you tend to be unsatisfied with second bests. Of course, this is only my unbiased opinion. Okay, biased opinion.
I guess, we will never know what really happened with McGyuver and it´s actually not our bussiness to know internals. What I know, regardless of what it is about, is that people perceive things in a different way. What I also know is that with showbiz you never hear the real situation because it´s a world of make believe. So I as a viewer/fan can only draw my own conclusions based in the pieces I hear. And even they must not be necessarily true. There are some facts though which can not be ignored.
I don´t care about P.L. as long as I don´t feel he crossed a line esp. regarding Alex. H5O was a great show and I respect what P.L. did. And you were right with what you wrote in your last post. We, the fans, wanted to see those scenes and we got them. Hollywood at it´s best. I´m just not sure if you always have to give people exactly what people want of whether you can also do it in a different way without loosing fans.
And yes, I think P.L. expected from LT what Alex was able to give with huge mental and physical strengh, integrity and commitment. And you can often read that actually didn´t always came naturally although Alex, as Scott Caan said, is an natural leader. I don´t know how to write this without being misunderstood: P.L. was glad to have someone like Alex, who was not only fit but was also willing to take a lot of weight on his shoulders and take responsibility and be conciously willing to get injured and give all what he was able to give without taking care of himself …. . He is not only a wonderful actor and director but also a tough man with lots of integrity and courage… . But I think, you can´t expect that and I don´t know, if it was good for Alex in the end. So putting pressure on someone and not see or care about that person´s limits and boundaries imo can be abusive. There is always more than one way to get things done.

I think Peter was very jealous of Alex. Thank you for the beautiful pictures of Alex, they have cheered up my day. It's finally "warmed up" here to 16 degrees from minus 5 this AM. A snowstorm/ice storm is coming, so the pictures of Alex will help keep me warm! thanks again.
Tanya Long
I hated to see Hawaii Five O end. It was one of my favorite shows and great actors and actresses. I esp love Commander Steve Mcgarrett played by the handsome and sexy Alex O Loughlin.
alexlover76
I completely agree with you on that. Alex was always saying good things about him in all interviews it would have been nice if it had been reciprocated!
Also I think that he should have taken better care of his leading man, then I feel that Alex wouldn't have wanted to stop playing Steve McGarrett. Plus I don't think that it helped when Scott Caan was allowed to be paid the same money for doing less work than Alex!
Susan Schoppe
Total agree. When you don't appreciate someone whether it's a family situation or someone who makes you a success in business, they will only stay for just so long. I'm surprised Alex stayed as long as he did but that's what a loyal person like Alex does.
And he never said a negative word about the show. Loyal indeed.
Kathysr
Alex is drop dead gorgeous in dress blues and dress whites. He takes my breath away. Thank you so much for these beautiful pics of a supremely talented actor who always gave 150%, never phoned it in and injured himself in his commitment to making Hawaii Five-O a great television series. Did Peter Lenkov ACTUALLY SAY that Alex was miscast in Moonlight and Three Rivers? Alex was great in both shows. He single handedly made vampires sexy! And I 100% believed him as the dedicated physician who saved lives by performing tricky and delicate organ transplants. I can't believe that Peter actually said those things IN PRINT. What an idiot!!!
I've loved Jean Smart since DESIGNING WOMEN, way back in the 1980's. She was also hilarious on Fraser. She's a great comedic and dramatic actor. She won two Emmys for Fraser, an Emmy for Samantha Who (I loved that silly show) and now for Hacks.
Thank you so much for these gorgeous photos. I'm patiently waiting to see what Alex will do next.
Yes, he did say that in one of his early interviews. I don´t remember the correct words, but he said something along the lines that Alex was miscast in Moonlight and Three Rivers and that he is an action hero. That interview must still be somewhere to be found on the internet.
Not sure about that interview that you mention, but have a look at this.
I think that maybe some of us have taken what he said here and the words had been twisted over the years. I think even I used it incorrectly at some stage. https://alexoloughlinintensestudy.wordpress.com/2018/03/01/h50-season-3-sunset-on-the-beach-2012-alexoloughlin-greets-crowd/

He is amazing actor he any new plan to back on tv
If there are any news of a new show, we will report it here.
miek1976
No matter the circumstances around peter lenkov , I can't tell you how happy these new pics made me. The gifs are an awesome edition. Thank you so much for this post!!
No one can accuse me of being a big fan of PL, though I must say that he knows how to create and run a show, and I agree with FOYeur that over the years, he has been faint-hearted in his appreciation for Alex and his work. BTW, what wonderful things has he been saying about Alex since the end of H50? I've heard of none.
One of the things that I resent most is the time he spent with Chi (a whole long dinner, as an extra DVD feature) singing the praises of Chi and his wonderful writing of an epi which, IMHO, was nothing else than a boring family meeting with nothing to do with 50. It hurts me that Alex didn't get at least the same treatment for DNA. But as regards this comment, I don't think PL is being disrespectful to Alex and I agree with FOYeur. It was a compliment!
I don't think either he used Alex as a sex symbol in H50. Let's be honest: it was we fans who begged for shirtless scenes, who spent keyboard hours commenting on his pants, his shirts, his strutting. It's only understandable that PL gave us a little of what we demanded. After all, these shows are all about audience and money, not art. You know, they want a sexy hero, let's give them a sexy hero. And we enjoyed it, let's admit it! And the truth is that once the show was well positioned in the market and had a solid fan base, and we focused our attention more on Alex's acting and less on his good looks, the "sexiness" of the character faded away.
I didn't know that PL had said Alex was wrongly cast in ML and TR, but it sounds odd, as he says in a DVD feature that Alex can do anything he wants, comedy, action or drama.
In any case, thanks for sharing this comment, FOYeur!
Peter Lenkov is in the outhouse in Hollywood. He's being banished and shunned. He's trying desperately to get back into the good graces of his industry. So suddenly he's full of effusive praise for Alex. LOL,. it's a little transparent to me. In reading interviews and watching videos during the actual production of the show, Peter had faint praise for Alex. I agree with all the posts here that he didn't say a lot of wonderful things about Alex at the time. He did at the very beginning of the show to promote it, but then he fell silent afterwards. He said nice things at SOTB events but little else.
Was he just too busy creating the other two shows for the networks? Benign neglect?: I was always astonished at how little promotion, publicity, print articles and interviews Hawaii Five-O got in the ten years it was on the air. I'd search high and low and could never find anything. I was hungry for interviews with Alex. NCIS had cover articles in TV Guide once or twice a year for ten years running. Crickets for Five-O, and it was high in the ratings.
Very strange way to promote a hit show.
I completely agree with you. After the initial promotion at the beginning, there was nothing, unless it was because Alex was ill or his son was born or to say something Alex only at sotb. He only called him the big kahuna the first few sotb's but then stopped.
He did a heck of a lot more promotion for McGyver and Magnum PI than he ever did for Five 0.
I never commented much on what happened 2 years ago and I won't. We know nothing, just hearsay, someone said this and someone said that, someone heard someone saying, some accuse, some defend…
All I know is that this site is about Alex and I was genuinely pleased reading that PL for once praised Alex. It made me happy (although too late, as I said) and I don't suspect ulterior motives.
I am with FOYeur, what he said was a great compliment especially in this context concerning Alex' awesome looks. As I wrote as a comment to PL's post: he did not only win the DNA lottery. He won the lottery in decency, commitment, humbleness and talent.
And that was appreciated. Finally.
Happy New Year to everyone in this community and thank you, you most luv-er-ley ladies for continuing to invest your time and effort to bring us your posts – I hope you know that for every dim-witted troll there are many, many grateful like-minded AOL fans who appreciate each and every post you put up on the site. PL went from a position of enormous power and influence (and there is plenty of evidence to suggest that he created a divisive and challenging working environment for those not lucky enough to be part of his 'inner sanctum') to almost nothing overnight – that must have been a very bitter pill to swallow and I suspect that he craves the need to stay 'relevant' in probably the most fickle back-stabbing industry on the planet. He only has himself to blame and I am still astonished that CBS, undoubtedly a highly misogynistic and polarising network, actually discovered the balls to oust him instead of continuing the sweep these disturbing allegations under the carpet. I always found his effusive praise for almost everyone except Alex, his leading man and driving force for the show, quite perplexing. Maybe Alex distanced himself from the 'Boys Club' culture and PL responded by being petty and deliberately reining in his praise of Alex as an actor? The only certainty here is that we can never know for sure what happened behind the scenes but full credit to Alex for never phoning it in and striving so hard to keep the show going so that all the locals kept their jobs. In the audio commentaries of selected episodes it is usually another producer or director who leads the way in praising Alex's acting/dedication/physical agility/emotional connection with the character and then PL belatedly joins in before rapidly turning the conversation back to himself or whomever he had managed to get on the show as a guest star that week. A little off point, but he usually then blathers on about how he has watched a particular episode 'like 100 times'. If this is the case then how on earth did he not notice in the series finale that Daiyu Mei told Steve that his father and Wo Fat had never met when we have the 'soundless' covert video recording of the two men shaking hands and deep in conversation with Governor Jameson in the Governor's office in 2×01? They even made a massive deal of the recording by having the ongoing saga of Joe supposedly having it analysed and then bringing in Kensi from NCIS LA to lipread the conversation. Seriously? Really . . . .seriously, just what kind of bone-headed lack of attention to detail was going on in this show from TPTB???? Apologies, back to the case in point . . . I think PL is actually trying to pay Alex a compliment but most likely couldn't resist throwing in some secret 'insider' gossip because it would appear that he loves to look like he is the 'in' guy. They even made a joke of this on the show in the stunning 'Ina paha' episode where an imprisoned Kamekona turns to McGarrett, looking rather splendid as always in his Navy uniform, and says words to the effect of " . . . and who might you be, the Stripogram?" I think PL needs all the friends he can get now he has been cast out into the showbiz wilderness after being sent packing on the first bus out of CBS to 'Obscurity' so my take is that he meant this to be complimentary and so I am pleased. Too little, too late you ask? Most definitely, but better than nothing at all.
Thank you for the support. It is good to know that there are still fans enjoying our posts. 🙂
MostlyFive0
Always happy to see a new, or even repost. Not engaging much these days, but you are greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Sam.
Good to see you are still around! 🙂
Have not commented here in forever, but wanted to put in my 2 cents. First, thanks so much for the new pics. Even though I fell hard for Lucifer and Tom, Alex is still the most beautiful man ever created. Anyway, we watched all seasons of MacGyver only because there was nothing else to watch at that time slot. I never thought it was a very good show. Magnum is much better. And as far as H50 is concerned, PL and the writers knew what the fans wanted, and gave it to us…especially in the last minute of the series. I loved the ending. Thanks to whoever gave that to me.

Groundbreaking for Ben Martin Track Friday
Benjamin Pounds
Oakridger
A groundbreaking ceremony for the new Ben Martin Track at Oak Ridge High School will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Jan. 14.
Ben Martin Track is located adjacent to the high school.
"After many years of erosion, flooding and infrastructure damage, the Ben Martin Track facility will get a much-needed renovation," Alan Ethridge, a former Oak Ridge High School cross country coach, stated in a column in The Oak Ridger describing the future changes.
Groundwork such as demolishing and removing the current track, repairing or replacing utilities and excavating the site of the new track will be the first tasks, Bruce Lay, executive director of school leadership, has said. The new track will have a new rubberized surface.
The track is named after Oak Ridge High School coach Ben Martin, a Hall of Fame member.

Une perturbation par une particule isolée (PPI)  (en anglais : Single event upset) est un changement d'état provoqué par une seule particule ionisante (ions, électrons, photons ...) frappant un nœud sensible dans un dispositif microélectronique, comme dans un microprocesseur, une mémoire à semi-conducteur, ou transistors de puissance. Le changement d'état est le résultat de la charge libre créée par ionisation dans ou à proximité d'un nœud important d'un élément logique (par exemple dans un "bit" de mémoire). L'erreur de la donnée de sortie ou du fonctionnement de l'appareil causée par cette impact est appelée perturbation par une particule isolée ou erreur logicielle.

Une perturbation par une particule isolée en elle-même n'est pas considérée comme endommageant de façon permanente la fonctionnalité du transistor ou des circuits contrairement au cas du déclenchement parasite isolé, d'une rupture de grille isolée ou d'un claquage isolé. Ce sont tous des exemples d'une classe générale d'effets de rayonnement dans les appareils électroniques appelés effets à événement unique (EEU).

Historique

Des perturbations par une particule isolée furent décrites pour la première fois lors d'essais nucléaires en surface, de 1954 à 1957, lorsque de nombreuses anomalies furent observées dans les équipements de surveillance électronique. D'autres problèmes furent observés dans de l'électronique spatiale au cours des années 1960, bien qu'il ait été difficile de séparer les défaillances de logiciels des autres formes d'interférences. En 1972, un satellite Hughes connut une PPI lorsque la communication avec le satellite fut perdue pendant 96 secondes, puis retrouvée. Les scientifiques, les Dr Edward C. Smith, Al Holman et le Dr Dan Binder expliquèrent l'anomalie comme une perturbation par une particule isolée et publièrent le premier article sur les PPI en 1973 dans le journal IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science. En 1978, le premier rapport décrivant des erreurs logicielles dues aux particules alpha fut fait par Timothy C. May et M.H. Woods. En 1979, James Ziegler de la société IBM, avec W. Lanford de l'université Yale, décrivit pour la première fois le mécanisme par lequel un rayon cosmique au niveau de la mer pouvait provoquer une perturbation par une particule isolée dans un équipement électronique.

Cause
Les PPI terrestres surviennent en raison de la collision de particules cosmiques avec des atomes dans l'atmosphère, créant des cascades ou des douches de neutrons et de protons, qui à leur tour peuvent interagir avec les circuits électroniques. Dans les géométries submicroniques profondes, cela affecte les dispositifs semi-conducteurs dans l'atmosphère.

Dans l'espace, des particules ionisantes de haute énergie font partie du fond naturel, appelées rayons cosmiques galactiques. Les éruptions de particules solaires et de protons de haute énergie piégés dans la magnétosphère terrestre (ceinture de Van Allen) aggravent ce problème. Les hautes énergies associées au phénomène dans l'environnement des particules spatiales rendent généralement le blindage accru des engins spatiaux inutile vis-à-vis de l'élimination des PPI et des phénomènes catastrophiques à événement unique (par exemple, un déclenchement parasite destructif). Les neutrons atmosphériques secondaires générés par les rayons cosmiques peuvent également avoir une énergie suffisamment élevée pour produire des PPI dans l'électronique lors du vol des avions au-dessus des pôles ou à haute altitude. Des traces d'éléments radioactifs dans les encapsulations de puces peuvent provoquer également à des PPI.

Essai de sensibilité aux PPI
La sensibilité d'un dispositif à une PPI peut être estimée empiriquement en plaçant un dispositif de test dans un flux de particules dans un cyclotron ou un autre accélérateur de particules. Cette méthodologie d'essai particulière est particulièrement utile pour prédire le taux d'erreur d'un programme informatique dans les environnements spatiaux connus, mais peut être problématique pour estimer le taux d'erreur d'un logiciel sur terre soumis à des neutrons. Dans ce cas, un grand nombre de pièces doivent être évaluées, éventuellement à différentes altitudes, pour trouver le taux réel de perturbations.

Une autre façon d'estimer empiriquement la tolérance aux PPI consiste à utiliser une chambre protégée contre les radiations, avec une source de rayonnement connue, comme le césium 137.

Lors de l'essai de résistance des microprocesseurs aux PPI, le logiciel utilisé pour faire fonctionner l'appareil doit également être évalué pour déterminer quelles sections de l'appareil sont touchées lorsque des PPI se produisent.

PPI et conception de circuits

Par définition, les PPI ne détruisent pas les circuits impliqués, mais ils peuvent provoquer des erreurs. Dans les microprocesseurs spatiaux, l'une des parties les plus vulnérables est souvent les mémoires cache de 1er et 2ème niveau, car celles-ci doivent être très petites et avoir une vitesse très élevée, ce qui signifie qu'elles ne tiennent pas beaucoup de charge. Souvent, ces caches sont désactivés si les conceptions terrestres sont configurées pour survivre aux PPI. Un autre point de vulnérabilité est la machine d'état dans la commande du microprocesseur, en raison du risque d'entrer dans des états "morts" (sans sortie), cependant, ces circuits doivent piloter l'ensemble du processeur, de sorte qu'ils ont des transistors relativement grands pour fournir des courants relativement importants et ne sont pas aussi vulnérables qu'on pourrait le penser. Un autre composant vulnérable de processeur est la RAM. Pour assurer la résilience aux PPI, une mémoire à code correcteur d'erreurs est souvent utilisée, ainsi que des circuits pour lire périodiquement (conduisant à une correction) ou nettoyer (si la lecture ne conduit pas à une correction) la mémoire d'erreurs, avant que les erreurs ne submergent les circuits de correction d'erreurs.

Dans les circuits numériques et analogiques, un seul événement peut provoquer la propagation d'une ou plusieurs impulsions de tension (c'est-à-dire des parasites) à travers le circuit, auquel cas il est appelé transitoire à événement unique (TEU). Etant donné que propagation de l'impulsion n'est pas techniquement un changement d '"état" comme dans une mémoire soumis à un PPI, il faut différencier TEU et PPI. Cependant si un TEU se propage à travers des circuits numériques et entraîne une valeur incorrecte dans une unité logique séquentielle, il est alors considéré comme une PPI.

Des problèmes matériels peuvent également survenir pour des raisons connexes. Dans certaines circonstances (de la conception des circuits, des processus de conception et des propriétés des particules), un thyristor "parasite" inhérent aux conceptions CMOS peut être activé, pouvant provoquer un court-circuit apparent entre l'alimentation et la masse. Cette condition est appelée verrouillage, et en l'absence de mise en place de contre-mesures lors de construction, détruit souvent l'appareil en raison de l'emballement thermique.

La plupart des fabricants mettent en œuvre des conceptions pour empêcher le verrouillage et testent leurs produits pour s'assurer que le verrouillage ne se produit pas à cause d'impacts de particules atmosphériques. Afin d'empêcher le verrouillage dans l'espace, des substrats épitaxiaux, du silicium sur isolant (SOI) ou du silicium sur saphir (SOS) sont souvent utilisés pour réduire ou éliminer davantage la sensibilité à ce phénomène.

PPI notable
Lors des élections de 2003 dans la municipalité de Bruxelles à Schaerbeek (Belgique), un candidat à une élection a reçu  voix supplémentaires à la suite d'une PPI. Cette erreur n'a été remarquée que parce que le nombre de votes obtenus était supérieur au nombre maximal possible, ce qui a donné lieu à une enquête.

Lobelia anceps, commonly known as trailing lobelia, is a small herbaceous, flowering plant in the family Campanulaceae. It has dark blue or purple flowers and grows in New South Wales and Queensland.

Description
Lobelia andrewsii is an upright to horizontally scrambling herb that grows up to  high. The leaves are variable, lower leaves are ovate, upper leaves lance shaped, opposite, becoming linear, leaf margins smooth or toothed,  long,  wide and more or less sessile. The inflorescence consists of up to 12 flowers raceme-like,  in a one-side formation and the pedicels up to  long. The corolla is violet or deep blue, paler at the base, up to  long, the middle lower petal egg-shaped, outer petals egg-shaped or oblong. The two upper petals curve inward and are covered with soft, thin hairs. Flowering occurs from November to July and the fruit is egg-shaped and  long and diameter.

Taxonomy and naming
Lobelia andrewsii was first formally described in 2001 by Thomas G. Lammers and the description was published in Novon. The specific epithet (andrewsii) honours Henry Cranke Andrews.

Distribution and habitat
Trailing lobelia grows in open forest and mostly on sandy soils north of the Royal National Park, inland to Howell and west of Tenterfield.

Shown here is the AC37 from 1936. Now we have a more conventional model name rather than the words that often titled earlier receivers. This set was also known as BC 3730L. The first thing to mention is that "L" on the end of the BC3730 model number. BC3730 could be considered to be the basic version of the receiver, designed for operation on 190 to 250 volts, hence suitable for anywhere in the U.K. The "L" was a special version suitable for use on 110 to 130, or 210 to 230 volts. This meant it could be used in countries with 110v mains, the U.S.A and Canada of course spring to mind. This ability to work on 110v mains cost the buyer an additional 6 shillings and sixpence, so it was not a feature to purchase unless really required.
Looking at the receiver itself we can see that it is GEC's second attempt to produce a bakelite and chrome receiver, much like that seen emanating from the Ekco works. It cannot have been as successful as hoped, as it was the last receiver from GEC using the bakelite/chrome combination. (like many other manufacturers GEC continued applying chrome fittings to wooden cabinet receivers for a year or two longer). Two chrome bars protect the speaker cloth, and chromium plated feet have been fitted at the base of the two "columns" at either side of the receiver frontage. The chrome disc inserts in the control knobs of the AC Mains 4 from the year before are not fitted to this receiver. It does look reasonably impressive, but probably not as impressive as the Ekco "designer" models of 1936. (In particular the AC97 designed by Jesse Collins, costing £13.13.0 in black and white. Although the AC97 was further up the price range, the different approach to cabinet design is obvious).
The receiver provides for long and medium wave, and the wavechange switch has a third position for bringing a "Droitwich Rejector" into the circuit on LW. The waveband selected can be viewed through a small window in the tuning scale, which this year has stations marked on it. The receiver is a TRF with a valve line-up of VMS4B, VMS4, N41, U12.

GlobalTestNet
Global TestNet – a new formal group of BWTS testing organisations
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing the 'GloBal TestNet' was signed on 21 October 2013 by representatives of 16 Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) testing organisations in Busan, Republic of Korea.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing the 'GloBal TestNet' was signed on 21 October 2013 by representatives of 16 Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) testing organisations in Busan, Republic of Korea. The test facilities of DHI Singapore and DHI Denmark were both signatories to the MoU and - Martin Andersen (Business Development Manager, DHI Singapore) has been elected Vice-chairman for the organisation, representing all Asian test facilities.
GloBal TestNet is a new formal group of organisations involved in testing for BWTS certifications. The MoU establishing Global TestNet was signed during a pre-conference event held as part of the fifth Global Ballast Water Management R&D Forum and Exhibition. It was held in Busan on 23-25 October 2013.
The signing marks an important milestone in the global effort to address the problem of invasive species transferred through ships' ballast water. It hopes to:
address concerns within the shipping industry about a perceived lack of standardisation and harmonisation among ballast water treatment technology test organisations
achieve greater levels of transparency and openness in the process of technology approvals
raise the standards of quality control and quality assurance in what can be a complex testing process
The move is expected to benefit test facility clients as well as the end-users of ballast water treatment technologies. The latter refers to the ship owners who need cost-effective and environmentally-friendly systems to meet the requirements of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention), 2004.
"The signing of this MoU is sending a very strong signal that test facilities worldwide are seriously considering the concerns expressed by shipping industry, relating to the transparency and harmonisation of testing activities and methods applied," Martin says. "We are a leading test organisation with facilities in Europe as well as Asia – covering cold, temperate and tropical waters in all ranges of salinities. As such, we are very happy to take a leading role in materialising this MoU into actual harmonisation and knowledge sharing activities."

In many telecommunications systems, it is necessary to represent an information-bearing signal with a waveform that can pass accurately through a transmission medium. This assigning of a suitable waveform is accomplished by modulation, which is the process by which some characteristic of a carrier wave is varied in accordance with an information signal, or modulating wave. The modulated signal is then transmitted over a channel, after which the original information-bearing signal is recovered through a process of demodulation.
Many transmission channels are characterized by limited passbands—that is, they will pass only certain ranges of frequencies without seriously attenuating them (reducing their amplitude). Modulation methods must therefore be applied to the information signals in order to "frequency translate" the signals into the range of frequencies that are permitted by the channel. Examples of channels that exhibit passband characteristics include alternating-current-coupled coaxial cables, which pass signals only in the range of 60 kilohertz to several hundred megahertz, and fibre-optic cables, which pass light signals only within a given wavelength range without significant attenuation. In these instances frequency translation is used to "fit" the information signal to the communications channel.
In many instances a communications channel is shared by multiple users. In order to prevent mutual interference, each user's information signal is modulated onto an assigned carrier of a specific frequency. When the frequency assignment and subsequent combining is done at a central point, the resulting combination is a frequency-division multiplexed signal, as is discussed in Multiplexing. Frequently there is no central combining point, and the communications channel itself acts as a distributed combine. An example of the latter situation is the broadcast radio bands (from 540 kilohertz to 600 megahertz), which permit simultaneous transmission of multiple AM radio, FM radio, and television signals without mutual interference as long as each signal is assigned to a different frequency band.
Even when the communications channel can support direct transmission of the information-bearing signal, there are often practical reasons why this is undesirable. A simple example is the transmission of a three-kilohertz (i.e., voiceband) signal via radio wave. In free space the wavelength of a three-kilohertz signal is 100 kilometres (60 miles). Since an effective radio antenna is typically as large as half the wavelength of the signal, a three-kilohertz radio wave might require an antenna up to 50 kilometres in length. In this case translation of the voice frequency to a higher frequency would allow the use of a much smaller antenna.

Pro-family Catholics reject Synod mid-way report, calling it 'a betrayal'
An international coalition of pro-family groups has rejected the mid-way report of the Extraordinary Synod on the Family, calling it 'a betrayal.'

Voice of the Family
Mon Oct 13, 2014 - 10:08 am EDT Fri Jun 18, 2021 - 6:43 pm EDT
Note: Voice of the Family, a coalition of 15 international pro-family groups, released this Monday morning.
The Extraordinary Synod on the Family's mid-term report is nothing short of a "betrayal" of Catholic and family values, says an influential pro-family group.
Mincing no words, Voice of the Family's British spokesperson John Smeaton said that "those who are controlling the Synod have betrayed Catholic parents. The Synod's mid-way report is one of the worst official documents drafted in Church history."
"Thankfully," said Smeaton, "the report is a preliminary report for discussion, rather than a definitive proposal."
Likewise, Irish representative Patrick Buckley said that the report "represents an attack on marriage and the family" by "in effect giving a tacit approval of adulterous relationships." Additionally, "the report undermines the Church's definitive teaching against contraception, and fails to recognize that homosexual inclination is objectively disordered," said Buckley.
Patrick Craine, Voice of the Family's North American spokesperson, said that the report "is not a faithful representation of the Synod discussions. Many Synod fathers have valiantly defended Church teaching inside and outside the Synod hall, yet their position is hardly reflected in the document at all."
"The report is right to call for pastoral outreach," said Craine, "but as Cardinal Ratzinger emphasized, outreach can only be done in the truth. As it is, the document undermines true pastoral care and can only do grave damage, in this world and the next, to those it purports to help."
"It would be a false mercy to give Holy Communion to people who do not repent of mortal sexual sins," said Voice of the Family coordinator Maria Madise, who said the report undermines Catholic families. "Will Catholic parents be forced to falsely tell their children that mortal sins like the use of contraception, cohabiting with partners, or living homosexual lifestyles have positive attributes?"
"Real mercy consists of offering people a clean conscience via the Sacrament of Confession and thus union with God," concluded Madise.
"It is essential that the voices of those lay faithful who sincerely live out Catholic teaching are also taken into account," said Smeaton. "Voice of the Family urges Catholics not to be complacent or give in to a false sense of obedience, in the face of attacks on the fundamental principles of the natural law at the Synod."
About Voice of the Family:
Voice of the Family is an international lay coalition of major pro-life and pro-family organizations that formed to offer expertise and resources to leaders of the church, the media, NGOs, and governments before, during, and after the Catholic Church's Synod on the Family. Its membership includes 15 influential pro-life and pro-family groups across the world. Its principles focus on changing the Culture of Death through sacramental marriage, opposition to contraception and abortion, and empowering parents.
Voice of the Family consists of 18 member organizations from eight nations on five continents. Members include Alfa Szövetség/Alpha Alliance, Campagne Québec-Vie, Campaign Life Catholics, Campaign Life Coalition Canada, Catholic Democrats, Catholic Voice, CENAP, Culture of Life Africa, European Life Network, Famiglia Domani, Family Life International NZ, Hnutí Pro život ČR, Human Life International (HLI), Liga pár páru ČR, LifeSiteNews.com, the National Association of Catholic Families (NACF), Profesionales por la Ética, and the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC).

Voice over Internet Protocol, basically, is a telephone system when the incoming and outgoing telephone call are handled using broadband Internet connection as opposed to the traditional method. Business houses should you should think about moving to VoIP due to the advanced technology and its particular resultant capability to provide many key features to assist business houses possibly at economical. When you approach your customers like they're friends or acquaintances, you draw them to your world. Use laughter and excitement for connecting to your customers within an emotional way. Talk to them about your service or product by using these emotions and you will probably see exactly how quickly you have their attention, together with their interest. Rational thinking may initially get them interested, but emotion is likely to make the sale. 1) Old School Help- I am sure you will be more than informed about these advertising methods already. You can keep doing what you're doing now, but if you would like results with it online you will need to do a whole lot more of computer. The reality of yesterday's marketing structure is that it is not as effective when it comes to the internet. Few of the people with them don't understand how the internet works and a lot of of these web advertising help themselves. You can continue to cover them and hope it really works out for your business, but we may advise that may possibly not be the cheapest of the choices. Once we are evident about the significance of customer service, we are in a position to pinpoint the basic strategies and tools associated with internet marketing. It is generally considered that you'll find seven elements to take into consideration when promoting our products on the Internet. We can say that these elements are: engines like google, link exchanges, viral strategies, online publicity, marketing through emails, affiliations, and the most high-priced paid advertising; they form what is known as a genuine affiliate marketing plan. Once they are implemented in the methodical manner then success are not a far cry. The height and width of your opt-in list is an additional key variable that must definitely be looked at when attemping to narrow down the best time. Why? Because your message will not likely necessarily arrive following you click the "send" button. Depending on the height of alkaline diet and width of your list, it might literally take minutes, or hours for the contacts to obtain the content. So if you use a large list, you may have to schedule your campaigns hours upfront to ensure your email arrives precisely at what has been determined as an optimal time. Fail to look at this, and you may be stomped wondering why your open and response rates are down inside the dumps. A lot of people that are relatively recent to Internet marketing usually get stuck somewhere along the way of working out the 'back end' technology. They're not sure what hosting is, or the best way to work it. They have not a clue what an FTP client is. They are scared to death about forcing a landing page or website. The value of proper education is actually hard to measure and describe. But in a nutshell, we can say that gaining the right know-how about a particular field of profession can greatly help you in your future dealings in life. Having a college diploma below your belt isn't just impressive and remarkable it also signifies your capability to handle several things. Knowing the demand and what market want is critical step. You want to give you the exact solution by means of information as to the folks are seeking. For example If you learned that the challenge for many people is just not finding out how to create their own website, then there is a demand for website services. Fill in the demand and are in profit. The fastest way to fail is try to give you the opposite i.e to deliver something that they doesn't need or desperate for. If you are already a graduate of such reputable schools, you will end up considered an expert in your field of interest. It will be an easy task to submit an application for jobs and you'll even set up your personal business and corporation since you are already knowledgeable in your field. Applying the stuff you learned from soccer practice can be a little hard to start with however with constant practice and determination you may set out to call at your effort and sacrifices pay back. Search engines love blogs because they're rich with content and keywords. If anything will probably tell a robot what it's you are doing, it's going to a well-written blog chock full of keywords, hefty meta tags and bolded important words. But when the search engines discover their whereabouts, will users be kind enough to even read them?

The Veronica Mars Trailer Will Make You Geek Out
Story from Entertainment
Seija Rankin
Okay, we're having a total fangirl freakout this morning. The Veronica Mars movie just released a brand-new featurette, and it is everything our little hearts desired. The ensuing clip alternates scenes from the flick with interviews and input from the cast. The flick finds Veronica living it up in the big city (read: New York) with Piz, when ol' Logan comes a-calling. She heads back to Neptune to help out her long lost pal, and the epic love triangle ensues.
Of course, the cast all has very strong opinions about whether they're Team Logan or Team Piz, and if our office mates are any indication, so does the rest of the fan base. Be ready for some serious Kristen Bell cuteness, as well as a major dose of nostalgia. Now, the countdown to the movie's release begins. (Jezebel)

Why SHRM's general counsel left to focus on harassment prevention
In our latest "Exit Interview," EverFi's Elizabeth Owens Bille says "the time has come to take a new approach."
Kate Tornone @KateTornone
Calling it a "natural progression," the former general counsel for the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) has stepped down to take a role with an education technology provider, Everfi, focusing on harassment prevention. In fact, that's Elizabeth Owens Bille's new title — Senior Director, Harassment Prevention.
Elizabeth Owens Bille
EverFi
"My passion has always been prevention rather than response," she told HR Dive. That made EverFi's new position appealing to Bille. "I really wanted to move away from my traditional focus of an attorney — which was more of a compliance focus and a response to discrimination and harassment issues after the fact — to a role where I could help employers help prevent discrimination and harassment in the first place."
She'll largely be working with private employers, helping them rethink discrimination and harassment in the post-#MeToo environment. She'll oversee new research and work with EverFi's product team to ensure their offerings are cutting-edge and research-based.
Bille said the company is committed to helping help employers stop concerning behavior; "it's a critical time for employers to take a radically different approach, moving away from the compliance focus to a prevention focus."
Bille brings an array of experiences to the role — and says they'll all help shape EverFi's work in some way. She previously worked as a management-side attorney, and later moved to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as an advisor to then-Vice Chair Leslie Silverman.
There, she participated in decision making with respect to enforcement actions, and helped to craft guidance for employers. Perhaps most notable — and the thing that Bille says she is most proud of from her time there — is the commission's caregiver guidance. While the guidance didn't create additional protections for employees, it reminded employers that adverse employment actions based on stereotypes — such as failing to promote women with young children while promoting men with young children — can be illegal discrimination. "I think it's so important to shine a light on the myriad of ways that discrimination and harassment can manifest itself," Bille said of the guidance. "And it was a new way of looking at the traditional issues of sex and disability discrimination."
Her experiences at EEOC have remained with her. "That time was extremely influential for me in learning about what companies should be doing to create environments that are hostile to harassment and discrimination, how they should respond and what they can do to go above and beyond the law," she said. It was an "extraordinary opportunity for me as a traditionally management-side attorney," getting to see "how they view company behavior and how they enforce the law."
Bille said her time at SHRM will influence her work at EverFi, too. "Being at SHRM also was an incredible opportunity to be able to work with HR professionals … to really learn what issues they struggle with and how they tackle these critical issues."
Recently, she helped inform some of SHRM's research on harassment following #MeToo. That work was partly what inspired her career move, she said. EverFi's goal is to revolutionize the way employers work to prevent harassment, she said; "I really wanted to become a part of that."
For Bille, it's clear that employers are seeing a shift in light of the #MeToo movement. "I think that we are at a remarkable point in time in our society right now," she said. Between the social outcry and state legislatures' subsequent training mandates, "I think there's a realization … that the traditional ways of addressing harassment were not terribly effective," she said.
"I think there's a realization … that the traditional ways of addressing harassment were not terribly effective."

But it's not sexual harassment alone that needs a second look, Bille said. Age and disability discrimination and harassment, for example, are sometimes issues that are not top-of-mind for organizations. Employers can't lose sight of all of the other types of discrimination and harassment that are equally illegal and equally insidious. Additionally, "I certainly think it would behoove organizations to stay focused on anti-retaliation," she said; EEOC stats show that's something that has been on the rise.
All of this means that organizations need to change their focus, Bille said. Traditionally, employers tackle discrimination and harassment with a response focus — training to recognize harassment, the adoption of hotlines for reporting, etc., Bille said; "we really need to move our focus to one of prevention if we really want to stop harassment from occurring in the first place."
This, she said, will require a three-pronged approach:
Employers need to change the way they train employees about behavior in the workplace. They need to focus on behaviors that are precursors to harassment, like disrespect and bullying. "If we focus on those things and shut them down before they escalate, then we'll be in a much better position," Bille said.
Employers need to make it socially unacceptable for employees to engage in harassment. They can use a values-based approach that presents the organization's vision/culture as valuing everyone for their contributions. Employers also need to hold employees accountable when they take actions that undermine that culture.
Finally, bystander intervention is crucial. It has been identified as effective in curbing sexual assault on college campuses, Bille said. Employers can engage employees who want to help create that culture and arm them with the tools to intervene. Train them to identify behaviors that are concerning, give them the language to intervene and assure them they'll be supported.
The work that Bille is calling on employers to undertake won't be easy. Many are facing disparate training requirements from their states, and still more are working to figure out how to train at scale employees who are geographically dispersed, especially those at locations like construction sites and retail stores that don't have a classroom available.
We really need to move our focus to one of prevention if we really want to stop harassment from occurring in the first place.
Senior Director, Harassment Prevention, EverFi
What's more, employers will have to think about ways to maximize their training. Some are using data to help inform their efforts, Bille noted. Others have added comprehension surveys at the end of training. To improve on those efforts, she offered the idea of surveys that are more climate-related. Ask employees whether they're comfortable intervening when they see harassment. And if not, dig deeper, Bille suggested. Is it because they don't know how? That they need more practice? That they don't feel like the workplace culture supports that? The answers can help an employer identify the next step, perhaps leading it to create a cultural awareness program.
Moreover, "training is not a one-and-done activity," she said. "It really is something that must be repeated and complemented with other prevention initiatives" that reinforce the culture. Employers can repeat this messaging in communications from senior leadership, in discussion panels and via social marketing campaigns, for example.
"I'm really optimistic that organizations are going to start employing these research-based … approaches," Bille said. In light of #Metoo, training mandates and the demands of board members, shareholders and employees, "the time has come to take a new approach."

all to play in it. He got them all sitting as an audience. "When I give the signal," he said, "I want you to all cheer." They all played it as a gag. He got the picture of them all cheering. Then he said, "I want you all to applaud madly." They all applauded madly, and he had a lot of these shots, too. He said, "I'll show you the picture when it's completed." Then he bought the filthiest movie in the world, some underground pornographic film, and he spliced in the shots of his friends cheering and applauding. Then he had them all back to see the finished product. Well, he lost about half of his friends this way. They threatened to sue him or punch him in the nose. Of course he never released it. Nothing was ever done with the picture, but that was the length that he would go to for a joke! It must have cost him thousands of dollars to do this, but it was worth all of the bother to him because of the shock of showing the picture. You can imagine a staid society matron suddenly seeing some filthy thing on there and the next thing--she's cheering and applauding.
Well, it's amazing what people do to get pleasure.
Cerf:
In those days, people would go to any lengths. Those were the days of Ben Hecht and Charlie McArthur and Gene Fowler, and these people would do anything for a joke. They would spend an infinite amount of time, trouble, and money for a practical joke. People just haven't got time for this


Justin Rashid and his business partner Larry Forgione started American Spoon back in 1981, and it's been a sweet ride ever since. Larry and Justin shared a dream to produce the finest fruit preserves in the world from Michigan fruit. Larry developed the original recipes, Justin selected varieties of Michigan fruit and as the French say, viola. American Spoon was born.
It all started when Justin (a wild-food forager) had a friend in New York (Larry) who was looking to become the great American chef. He wanted to use all American ingredients, so Justin started sending him morel mushrooms. When Larry asked, "What else do you have back there in Michigan?" Justin brought him to Michigan. Larry saw the tremendous agricultural resources, put down roots in Petoskey and the partnership was born. After deciding to concentrate on making jam, American Spoon came to be, and now they ship their incredible spreadables around the world.
The company credo is, "Make the best preserves in America using Michigan fruit," and that's exactly what they're doing. From humble beginnings to a fruitful enterprise, you'll taste a mouthful of Michigan with every American Spoon.

LIGNA, the world's largest trade fair focusing on the wood industry, took place in Hanover from 6th to 10th May. WINTERSTEIGER presented the new DSB Twinhead NG XM thin-cutting band saw which was developed for creating parquet flooring, doors and windows, multi-layer boards, pencils, and for musical instrument building.
The special thing about the DSB Twinhead NG XM thin-cutting band saw is its modular design – the saw can be extended to meet the customer's needs. Further advantages are the compact design, the extremely high capacities of up to 12,000 m2 in single-shift operation, and outstanding flexibility. Block dimensions and lamella thickness can be adjusted more quickly, and an enlarged cutting area provides an even wider range of applications.
The TRC systems, new additions to the WINTERSTEIGER product range, really drew in the visitors. The term TRC, which stands for "Timber Repair and Cosmetics", represents automatic filling machines which are used to repair wood surfaces, achieving maximum quality and leveraging huge rationalization potential.
The most important benefits: just one filling procedure creates a perfect repair, regardless of the system user's skill levels. This reduces the number of items which simply have to be rejected considerably. It is possible to carry out repairs involving more than one color on a single component. Damaged spots around the edges of the component can be repaired using a fully automatic system.


One of my teens and myself came across this six-episode series on one of the rare occasions we came to share the same couch and remote control. In case I wasn't clear enough; she actually migrated out of her room and into our common living room on a Saturday night!
Then, she fell asleep before the end of episode one which probably explains why didn't go through with the rest. I did, though!
- A bit of a Brit version of 'The Alienist'! Vanished children, a couple of outsider detectives, a twisted plot with literary parallels.
- Victorian London! Prettier than ever! Clearly a large part of the budget has gone into the decoration.
- William Blake, Boz, Mary Shelley! I repeat : William Blake!!
- The plot was a bit slow, perhaps. Or my teenager was just exceptionally sleepy that particular Saturday night.
In short : Very watchable!

The advantages of solar energy continue to grow with more pros and experts learning more about the process and features. Of course, there are also a number of consequences especially for the person who does not study much about the devices. It is important that you weigh the potential advantages and disadvantages of having your own setup. You should consider the things you need to power, your location, budget, etc. Here are some more details about the energy.
The good thing about solar energy is that it can be used anytime or as long as the sun exists. You can get the power you need day in and day out. Solar power is a renewable resource which means that you do not have to pay any bill or keep replacing parts to get the results that you need. The disadvantage in terms of availability is that you cannot access the energy if there is no sunlight. You cannot rely on solar power at night or in places that tend to be very cloudy for several months. Individuals living in tropical areas or desert regions can rely on solar panels. In contrast, those who experience very long winter months may not get the best effects.
Nowadays, solar energy can power a variety of locations such as homes, offices, and even objects such as cars, small light fixtures, toys and calculators. You can now rely on the sun to help you minimize utility and electric bills. You can even see a number of vehicles now solely powered by the sun. The disadvantage to the approach is that the power may tend to fluctuate depending on the sunlight available. Some devices may not work as well if the energy collected from the sun is insufficient to power that object or location. In some cases, power may totally fail if solar energy is limited or unavailable.
Even though solar cell panels are readily available in most hardware stores and the internet, not everyone is still capable of installing the devices properly. The initial setup costs may be very expensive for some individuals. Some individuals may find some tasks particularly difficult unless they rely on a professional to do all the work, rising the price of the system setup. Installation will depend on several factors and will need careful study, such as the angle of the sun, the position and area where you need to place the solar panels and the number of hours to complete the project.
Purchasing solar power systems may be more expensive for first-time buyers. Those who have been used to the old system may have to spend more initially. Overall, the cost for maintenance begins to taper down because the sun is readily available and free. However, in some countries the availability of these systems maybe restricted, more expensive or unavailable to purchase in your particular area. Even if the climate conditions are ideal there other limitations that may occur, therefore ensure that you evaluate all the possible issues that may arise further down the line before committing. When considering the best options for your budget ensure that you have the best price possible, contact different companies and compare quotes, don't go with the first company you find unless you have done your research thoroughly.

Francis Prayers
SOLEMNITY OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
ACT OF VENERATION TO THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION AT THE SPANISH STEPS
PRAYER OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS
Spanish Steps
[Multimedia]
Immaculate Mother,
For the fifth time I come to your feet as Bishop of Rome,
to honour you on behalf of all the residents of this city.
We wish to thank you for the constant care
with which you accompany our journey,
the journey of families, of parishes, of religious communities;
the journey of those who each day, at times with difficulty,
pass through Rome to go to work;
of the sick, of the elderly, of all the poor,
of so many people who have immigrated here from lands of war and hunger.
Thank you because, as soon as we address a thought to you
or a gaze or a quick 'Hail Mary',
we always feel your maternal, tender and steadfast presence.
O Mother, help this city to develop"antibodies" against some of the viruses of our time:
indifference, which says: "It doesn't concern me";
the civic discourtesy which disregards the common good;
fear of those who are different or foreign;
transgression disguised as conformity;
the hypocrisy of accusing others while we do the same things;
resignation to environmental and ethical decay;
the exploitation of countless men and women.
Help us to reject these and other viruses with the antibodies that come from the Gospel.
Help us to develop the good habit of reading a passage from the Gospel each day
and, after your example, to cherish the Word in our hearts,
so that, as a good seed, it may bear fruit in our lives.
Immaculate Virgin,
175 years ago, not far from here, in the Church of Sant'Andrea delle Fratte, you touched the heart of Alphonse Ratisbonne, who at that moment
from an atheist and enemy of the Church became Christian.
To him you revealed yourself as Mother of grace and mercy.
Grant that we too, especially in trials and in temptation,
may fix our gaze on your open hands,
which let the Lord's grace come down to the earth,
and divest ourselves of any proud arrogance
so as to recognize ourselves as we truly are:
small and poor sinners, but always your children.
And thus to place our hand in yours
so as to be led back to Jesus, our brother and Saviour,
and to our heavenly Father, who never tires of waiting for us
and of forgiving us when we return to Him.
Thank you, O Mother, for always listening to us!
May you bless the Church that is in Rome,
bless this city and the entire world.

Tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a fast-growing sector making up an important part in the economy of the country.
The Srebrenica massacre, also known as the Srebrenica genocide (Bosnian: Masakr u Srebrenici; Genocid u Srebrenici), was the July 1995 genocide of more than 8,000 Bosniaks, mainly men and boys, in and around the town of Srebrenica during the Bosnian War.
The killings were perpetrated by units of the Bosnian Serb Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) under the command of Ratko Mladić. The Scorpions, a paramilitary unit from Serbia, who had been part of the Serbian Interior Ministry until 1991, also participated in the massacre. In April 1993 the United Nations (UN) had declared the besieged enclave of Srebrenica—in the Drina Valley of northeastern Bosnia—a "safe area" under UN protection. In July 1995, UNPROFOR's 370 Dutchbat soldiers in Srebrenica failed to prevent the town's capture by the VRS—and the subsequent massacre.
In 2004, in a unanimous ruling on the case of Prosecutor v. Krstić, the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), located in The Hague, ruled that the massacre of the enclave's male inhabitants constituted genocide, a crime under international law. The ruling was also upheld by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in 2007. The forcible transfer and abuse, of between 25,000 and 30,000 Bosniak women, children and elderly which accompanied the massacre was found to constitute genocide, when accompanied with the killings and separation of the men.
In 2005, Kofi Annan, then Secretary-General of the United Nations described the mass murder as the worst crime on European soil since the Second World War, and in a message to the tenth anniversary commemoration of the massacre, he wrote that, while blame lay "first and foremost with those who planned and carried out the massacre and those who assisted and harboured them", the UN had "made serious errors of judgement, rooted in a philosophy of impartiality", describing Srebrenica as a tragedy that would haunt the history of the UN forever.
In 2006, in the Bosnian Genocide case held before the International Court of Justice, Serbia and Montenegro was cleared of direct responsibility for, or complicity in, the massacre, but was found responsible for not doing enough to prevent the genocide and not prosecuting those responsible, in breach of the Genocide Convention. The Preliminary List of People Missing or Killed in Srebrenica compiled by the Bosnian Federal Commission of Missing Persons contains 8,373 names. As of July 2012, 6,838 genocide victims have been identified through DNA analysis of body parts recovered from mass graves; as of July 2013, 6,066 victims have been buried at the Memorial Centre of Potočari.
In April 2013, Serbian President Tomislav Nikolić officially apologised for the massacre, although he stopped short of calling it genocide.[22] In 2013 and 2014, the Netherlands was found liable in its own supreme court and in the Hague district court of failing in its duty to prevent more than 300 of the deaths.
On 8 July 2015, Russia, at the request of the Republika Srpska and Serbia, vetoed a UN resolution condemning the Srebrenica massacre as genocide. Serbia called the resolution "anti-Serb", while both European and U.S. governments affirmed that the crimes were genocide. On 9 July 2015, both the European Parliament (EP) and the U.S. Congress adopted resolutions reaffirming the description of the crime as genocide.
On 22 November 2017, Ratko Mladić was convicted of various crimes at the United Nations' tribunal, including genocide for his role at Srebrenica. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Adaptations and Accuracy: Literary Favorites from Page to Screen
May 31, 2015 | 19th Century, 20th Century, Film and Television, Georgette Heyer, Jane Austen, Romance | 54 comments
"If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you, you have bewitched me body and soul, and I love…I love….I love you."
(Pride and Prejudice, 2005.)
Keira Knightly and Matthew Macfadyen as Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, 2005.
Photograph: Focus Features.
If you are a serious, literary-minded Jane Austen fan, it may raise your blood pressure a bit to learn that there are many people who believe the above quote was actually said by Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. Similarly, there are those who are convinced that the famous scene where Darcy leaps into the lake at Pemberley is an accurate depiction of something that Austen wrote on the page. In fact, as most of you reading this will know, the above lines are said by actor Matthew Macfadyen in the 2005 movie version of Pride and Prejudice and the scene with Darcy in the lake is enacted by Colin Firth in the 1995 BBC miniseries. Neither scene is in the book.[…]Continue Reading


Ivory Background Persian Antique Sultanabad Carpet, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Late 19th Century – An elaborate pattern spills over the body of this antique Persian rug, repeating across the creamy central field. This beautiful antique rug features a complex design of dark red and blue twines around circular, multicolored blooms. A set of borders surrounds the pattern, two smaller bands mirrored around a wide red bar. The pair at the edge are dark with warm-hued flowers positioned around a twining vine. Next to them, creamy yellow strips feature delicate blossoms that alternate in color between light and dark. At the center of the set in the antique Persian Sultanabad carpet, a red background offsets light yellow and white detailing that picks out a braided motif of floral elements, touched with blue and black.
