Il Dipartimento per le politiche europee è il dipartimento, incardinato presso la Presidenza del Consiglio dei ministri, che opera nell'area funzionale dei rapporti del Governo con le istituzioni dell'Unione europea e della quale il presidente si avvale per il coordinamento nella fase di predisposizione della normativa europea e per le attività inerenti all'attuazione degli obblighi assunti nell'ambito dell'Unione.

Ha sede a Roma, in largo Chigi 19, all'interno della galleria Alberto Sordi.

Storia

Il dipartimento fu istituito dalla legge 16 aprile 1987, n. 183, col nome di dipartimento per il coordinamento delle politiche comunitarie. Nel governo Fanfani VI, le relative funzioni furono delegate al ministro degli affari esteri Giulio Andreotti; quindi vennero conferite ad un apposito ministro senza portafoglio che, a seconda delle denominazioni di volta in volta adottate dai vari governi, assunse l'incarico di ministro per il coordinamento delle politiche comunitarie (1987-94), per il coordinamento delle politiche dell'Unione europea (1994-95), per le politiche comunitarie (1998-2006), per le politiche europee (2006-11) o, infine, per gli affari europei (dal 2011).

Il primo titolare dell'ufficio fu nominato durante il governo Goria, nella persona di Antonio La Pergola; a tale periodo risale la normativa riguardante il recepimento della legislazione comunitaria nell'ordinamento italiano (c.d. legge La Pergola).

La previsione di una specifica struttura deputata all'«attuazione degli impegni assunti nell'ambito dell'Unione europea» fu confermata dalla disciplina in tema di ordinamento della Presidenza del Consiglio (d.lgs. 30 luglio 1999, n. 303, art. 3).

Il dipartimento fu potenziato dalla legge 4 febbraio 2005, n. 11 (c.d. legge Buttiglione), recante Norme generali sulla partecipazione dell'Italia al processo normativo dell'Unione Europea e sulle procedure di esecuzione degli obblighi comunitari. La struttura fu successivamente riorganizzata (DPCM 9 ottobre 2006, DPR 14 maggio 2007 n. 91).

Nel 2006, durante il governo Prodi II, le funzioni proprie del dipartimento furono conferite a Emma Bonino che, oltre alla titolarità del ministero del commercio internazionale, assunse altresì la carica di ministro per le politiche europee. La differente denominazione dell'incarico si mantenne col governo Berlusconi IV, attraverso la delega di tali funzioni al ministro Andrea Ronchi (per quanto l'iniziale decreto di nomina avesse fatto riferimento alle «politiche comunitarie» e non alle «politiche europee»).

Nel 2011, in seguito alla riorganizzazione delle strutture generali della Presidenza del Consiglio, la struttura prese il nome di dipartimento per le politiche europee (DPCM 1º marzo 2011); il cambio di denominazione fu sancito anche a livello di fonte primaria mediante la legge 24 dicembre 2012, n. 234 (art. 18), che procedette anche a ridefinire competenze e struttura del dipartimento. Nel governo Monti, le relative funzioni furono delegate a Enzo Moavero Milanesi, che assunse la carica di ministro per gli affari europei.

The ancient Greeks experienced war in many forms. By land and by sea they conducted raids, ambushes, battles and sieges; they embarked on campaigns of intimidation, conquest and annihilation; they fought against fellow Greeks and non-Greeks. Drawing on a wealth of literary, epigraphic and archaeological material, this wide-ranging synthesis looks at the practicalities of Greek warfare and its wider social ramifications. Alongside discussions of the nature and role of battle, logistics, strategy and equipment are examinations of other fundamentals of war: religious and economic factors, militarism and martial values, and the relationships between the individual and the community before, during and after wars. The book takes account of the main developments of modern scholarship in the field and engages with the many theories and interpretations that have been advanced in recent years.

Thomas Aquinas occupies an important place in your books. How did you discover Thomas?
I first came across Thomas Aquinas when I was an undergraduate at a capuchin seminary north of Pittsburgh and it was mainly in philosophical contexts that I met him: in the history of philosophy, epistemology, metaphysics. It was through the work of E. Gilson that I saw the philosophical importance of Thomas, his insistence on 'esse is act', on God as pure act. I did my doctorate with E.L. Mascal, King's College, London, and he was also very interested in Thomas' philosophy. So my first encounter with Thomas was linked to the thomistic revival in the work of Maritain, Gilson, Mascall. What I am trying to do now, is to carry over that type of philosophical analysis in the theological realm.
But why the dominican Thomas as your discussion partner? Would it not be more obvious for you as Franciscan to read theologians from your Franciscan tradition like Bonaventure or Scotus?
To my mind, Aquinas always had the better answers to the crucial question. He was clear and precise and I discovered that in the end I always went with him. He helps me in my thinking.
How do you see Thomas, do you treat Thomas?
Primarily as a man of faith, and therefore a person I can go to and a safe person to go to. We share basically the same faith. But he is also important as a representative of the catholic tradition and as a catholic theologian I have to take his work into account. I treat him as a discussion partner. I do not expect all the answers from him and I do not follow him always. I am sometimes quite critical, go a different way or develop his ideas further. In 'Does God change?' for example I have made, I think, his concept of relationship more coherent.
You stress that Thomas is a man of faith, is it important to you that he is a saint?
Yes. Like other doctors of the church he is first a saint. Only saints become doctors of the church. Aquinas, Bonaventure, Augustine could not have written their theology if they had not been saints. There is a connection between holiness and doing theology. The problem today is that many bright people are doing theology, but it is not always the theology of saints. Aquinas wrote out of his prayer. I think, prayer is part of doing theology. And see to often now a divorce between the two. If you want to be read for 200 years, you had better be a saint.
In your book 'In the likeness of all flesh' you say that you want to go beyond Thomas and go back to the biblical data. Do you see Thomas' theology as not so biblical or do you mean that he has overlooked some data?
I think Thomas is a biblical theologian: the biblical data certainly gave rise to his doctrinal thoughts. His biblical commentaries are read too little. But the biblical data are obvious to him and that is the difference with us, with the current situation. I have become more and more 'biblical' in my thinking. 'Does God change?' is mostly philosophical in inspiration and style, but the origins of the other books are insights I got from reading Scripture.
The topics you discuss are not exactly popular, or to put it perhaps better, you do not defend fashionable points of view. Why this prevalence and this stance?
Not because I have some general view of theology. I work theme-oriented: I take a point and develop that. When I defend that God does not change or does not suffer, as I do in the book that I just finished, I take a defensive or apologetic stance because I want to defend the catholic tradition and defend it against wrong interpretations. At the same time I want to promote a better understanding, I want to present what is given in the tradition in a better, more appealing way. That is the 'evangelistic' side of it. The themes are, as I said, inspired by reading Scripture and the decision to take up a theme and develop it is not just because it is a nice insight, but because is radically new and of major importance. 'In the likeness of sinful flesh' deals with a major theme from christology, touching upon the whole view we have of the incarnation: Christ has not accepted the sinful flesh in becoming man, how can it be put to death, as Paul claims in Rom. 6? And 'The Father's Spirit of Sonship' deals with the relationship between Son and Spirit and consequently with the relationships in the Trinity. I hope that my proposal to reconceive the Trinity is also helpful in the discussions between east and west. But you see, I am not just a conservative staying with the tradition. I get attacked from both sides: 'too traditional' and 'not traditional enough', so I guess there must be something right in what I am saying. I see myself as producing both old and new.

Nokia Acknowledges Bug Affecting Lumia 800 Battery Life, Promises Fix in 2012
Killian Bell
Following complaints from a large proportion of early Lumia 800 adopters, Nokia has finally acknowledged in an official statement issued today that there is indeed a software bug affecting its new device, and it has promised to issue a fix in early 2012.
It also states that the Lumia 710 does not suffer the same issue, and says that if you do not wish to wait for the forthcoming software update, you can contact Nokia for a replacement device:
On Monday 12th December some of our customers started to comment in various social media that the preloaded diagnostics tool in some of the Nokia Lumia 800 phones was showing lower battery capacity than expected. We immediately started to investigate these reports and can now confirm that while the battery itself is fine, a software problem on certain variants is limiting the phone's ability to access the full battery capacity. We want to stress that this issue has not been found to affect the recently introduced Nokia Lumia 710.
The good news is that as this is a software problem it can be easily resolved. The planned software update in early 2012, as well as including many performance enhancements, will also include a fix that will enable the affected phones to access the total battery capacity. For anyone who does not want to wait for the software update, Nokia can arrange for a replacement phone.
Nokia says that you can find out whether your device is affected by the bug (though your frequent low battery should have already told you that) by dialing ##634# on your handset to open up the diagnostics tool. By accepting the disclaimer and then selecting 'Battery Status' from the options, you can see your available charge capacity. A reading below 1,000 mAh means your device is affected and "you may find it is necessary to charge your phone more frequently than normal."
The company has already issued one update to the Lumia 800 — which was supposed to address battery issues amongst other things — but users report this hasn't helped. Up until this point Nokia has seemingly tried to avoid the issue, and at one point it simply published tips on how to maximize battery, such as turning off your 3G signal and lowering your brightness.
For Lumia 800 users, it's great to hear that Nokia has now acknowledged that there is indeed a problem, and that the company is finally doing something to fix it.
Have your Lumia 800 got a battery with a capacity less than 1,000 mAh?

The effort undertaken involved both public and private surveys, focused leadership meetings, consultations with industry experts, and thorough document development. Intentionally designed to reflect the collective views of the Board of Directors, officers, members, and constituents, this plan presents a combined vision for how CFTA may grow to best support the community at which it is designed to serve.
Just as our members must continually learn to use new technologies and be flexible to apply different techniques, CFTA must also adapt and provide service offerings that align with the needs of today's campus FM professionals. Through this strategic planning initiative, CFTA will dedicate its focus to design service offerings that are intended to best support members' needs, while equipping future leadership with the necessary tools to be successful.
I believe the 2019-2024 plan presents a shared vision for the future - one that will successfully guide us to meet our mission while staying true to CFTA's core values.

CANTON Two former Lake High School standouts received postseason honors from the Great Midwest Athletic Conference basketball awards banquet.
Mitch Spotleson, a senior forward on the men's basketball team, and Baylen Dyrlund, a senior forward on the women's basketball team, were both honored by the G-MAC.
After leading the Pioneers to a 19-9 overall record and a fourth-place finish in the league's regular-season standings, Spotleson received honorable mention.
Spotleson, a 6-foot-5 forward, posted averages of 12.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists per contest. He ranked eighth in the G-MAC in overall rebounding during the regular season, while his average of 5.2 defensive rebounds per game was fifth-best in the conference.
The durable senior never missed a game during his stellar Malone career, starting all 111 contests over the past four seasons. On Malone's all-time lists, he currently ranks 31st in scoring with 1,257 points and 12th in rebounding with 721 career caroms.
Dyrlund, a senior forward on the women's basketball team, also received honorable mention recognition at the postseason banquet at Cedarville University.
The Hartville native led the Pioneers in scoring this season, averaging 12.7 points per game. She also pulled down a team-high 5.8 rebounds a game and shot a team-best 44.4 percent from the floor. Additionally, Dyrlund shot 79.2 percent from the free-throw line and reached double figures in scoring 16 times, including a season-high 21 in a home win over Lake Erie.
After being named Second Team All-G-MAC last season and adding honors for this season, Dyrlund finished her two-year Malone career with 670 points and 330 rebounds.

Juggernaut Seminar Recap from the LRB view
This past weekend I was privileged to be part of a seminar at Chicago Crossfit with the Juggernaut crew, headed up by Juggernaut president, Chad Wesley Kazmaier.....errrr, Smith. Along with Chad I would be joining the Lilliebridge family (Ernie Sr., Eric, and Ernie Jr.), Brandon Lilly, Pete Rubish, Caitlyn Trout, and some guy named Ed Coan.
Separated at birth?
We started things off Friday night, where Chad asked Brandon and I do to a video interview. It took Brandon and I about 5 minutes to actually get our "game faces on" to even start this thing because we tend to joke a lot or talk about things neither of us would prefer be caught on audio or video talking about for fear needing to retreat to a country with no extradition laws.
We didn't have a format for what we were going to discuss, so Brandon just shot from the hip and we rolled with it. Brandon and myself both have the gift of gab, and if left just to shoot the shit we'll go on for hours and hours. This is what we did in Chicago a month ago at the nationals, and Chad wanted us to get that on video. So we ended up rolling with it back at the hotel room.
I realize that last sentence can be misconstrued in many, many ways. Especially since there was a video camera involved, however I assure you that Brandon's ultimate bear masculinity is not appealing to me. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Chad said he wanted us to talk about sub-max training and how we have both sort of evolved our training methodologies to revolve around that kind of thing, and I figured we'd sort of go over that, and call it a night. However as noted, Brandon and myself both talk a lot and B just kept transitioning into other topics. Almost two hours later we had not only covered the sub-max training concepts, but a lot of stuff on nutrition, life, things we would tell to our younger selves, and a whole host of other topics. Chad seemed to be pretty pleased with the outcome and said he will cut it up in chunks for the Juggernaut website.
The interesting part about this interview, was that Chad posted on the Juggernaut facebook page that it was going on, and wanted to know if anyone had anything they wanted to ask us. Literally, Brandon and I went over everything everyone wanted to know about without knowing that was being asked. It was quite uncanny. I will credit Brandon for picking such good topics because he did fantastic job there.
Saturday morning Brandon and Chad did lecture, and that afternoon we broke everyone up into groups to go over squat, bench, and dead. Eric, Brandon, and myself were assigned to coach bench.
I wanted to mainly go over getting set up properly on the bench, because I feel that just learning how to get setup properly on a solid base is something a lot of people don't know how to do, don't know TO DO, or don't do very consistently. So we went over that with each group, trying to teach them on how to get tight on the bench, get more stress onto the upperback, and how to create leg drive.
After many hours of coaching the team left to train at legendary Quads Gym. The gym that Coan has been at for his training life and where he trained out of for all of those championships and world records.
Quads is a very old school gym, and as soon as you pull into the parking lot you know this isn't going to be a Balley's or Planet Fitness. There's a banner that's hanging on the outside of the gym that tells you that it was voted as one of top the 10 gyms in America by Muscle and Fitness and Muscular development. And it lives up to that billing.
There's old, old nautilus equipment (that is still in great shape mind you), old school seated press benches (where the racks are too damn close to load one plate without the bar flipping over), a monolift, a squat rack, a deadlift area, and honestly too many pieces of equipment to name. It was packed wall to wall with everything from Hammer Strength pullovers to a cable crossover machine that Jesus may or may not have used. It was that old.
Pete and I were going to do some bodybuilding work together because it was his deload week (I'm training him for his upcoming meet) so we decided to do some shoulder work to start. I asked him if he was ok with press behind the neck and Pete was down.
The Rube and I
Neither of us had eaten very much all day and Pete was even more depleted than I was. I told him to at least go slam a Gatorade before we got started so he would have some carbs in him.
We hammered off quite a few sets of seated presses with Pete working up to a solid 225 and I hit 315. Afterwards Pete did 135 for 20 and then we went over to finish watching Eric pull. Eric is in the starting week of his meet prep, and he worked up to 755x3 for deadlifts.
I could tell Pete was itching to pull, so I offered a compromise since I called the first exercise.
"You want to pull?"
"Yeah." Pete said with a smile.
"Ok, how about some deficits then?" I said.
Pete nodded.
We did some tricep work as Eric still had his bar loaded up, so we did about 150 total reps of tricep work while they tore down Eric's pull.
After that I grabbed a 4" block and put it down in the deadlift area.
We pulled 225 for a triple. Then 315 for a double (I did this twice). Then 405 for a single. 500 for a single, 585 for a single, the 635 for a single. On the 635, in honor of Pete, I yelled "EASY!!!!!!!!!"
I felt pretty good about my speed as I seemed to be matching Pete's bar speed pretty well. Pete asked me what my best pull was and I told him it was still the 655 I pulled a month earlier with the groin tear.
"Well you just killed 635 just pull 660 to get a PR. And it will even be on a deficit."
The 635 was a pretty fast pull. Not a "speed" pull but it was certainly easy.
Pete gathered himself to pull the 660, and right before he started Coan yelled out to him "Come on, you bitch."
This seemed to get Pete quite fired up as he pulled the 660, but it was pretty hard. Then he pulled it again for a really gritty double. It was a great effort on Pete's part as we were all tired and hungry as shit.
I set up to pull the 660, pulled the slack out of the bar, dropped my hips and the bar popped off the floor fast, then right at the knee it just died on me. Brandon told me the bar was just slightly in front of me, but Ernie said he felt I was still behind the bar. However it was Ed that really had it right, when I told him how upset I was at that miss.
"You should be. Because of how you missed it. You missed it because of your approach was all wrong. It had nothing to do with strength. You missed it because you approached it like it was heavy. So it was." he said, shrugging. "The other ones, you just walked up to and ripped them off the floor. That's all you had to do."
Pretty much nailed it. I spent too much time preparing myself for that single, and mentally approached it like a "PR" rather than just like all the rest of the pulls. Lifting is a technical and muscular game yes, but it's so so mental at times as well. It reminded me of a moment a few months ago with my training partner during a deadlift workout.
She went to pull 175, and it was stapled to the floor. I mean, wouldn't budge. Not an inch. This is a light weight for her. I lit into her about it, and she then got focused and ripped it off the floor like it was nothing.
Rather than tap into that "rage" for the 660, all I really needed to do was walk up, and pull it. I was really disappointed that I missed a weight I should have pulled rather easily, but there are good days and bad ones. There are times to tap deep into yourself for what you need, and times when you need to just approach the bar in a workman like manner, and do your shit.
This was one of those times.
This was a great learning experience, and I will remember to keep it in pocket for the next time. I will also not be so hard on myself for a miss that came after a very long day, on very little food. That probably didn't help a whole lot.
I also wanted to say congrats to Brandon for hitting a 545 bench, which was a PR for his current bodyweight, of "300" which no one believes, and one of which he tried to prove by using a faulty scale.
I also caught him in this position a lot at the seminar.....
Sunday morning we all gathered at 9 a.m. for the Q&A segment of the seminar. I think Brandon and I ended up talking more than anyone else on the panel (surprise), but everyone had so many gems and so much knowledge to offer that I felt like I was a member of the audience learning along with everyone else. I also won't lie in that it felt surreal to be sitting next to Ed Coan fielding questions along with him. I imagine I wasn't alone in this feeling. Even Ernie Sr. posted up pics of the book Ed's autographed for him. Everyone is still in awe of Ed and what he has accomplished, but more than that, it's Ed's humility that will astonish you. There are so many egos and big shots in all sports, and of course even powerlifting. With some of them you'd think that THEY had done what Ed had accomplished, yet Ed is very unassuming, and unbelievably kind and considerate.
After the session I told Ed it was an honor for me to sit next to him and his response to that was, "no no, you know as much as anyone sitting up there." And that's Ed. He told me how shitty my miss was, and then paid me a compliment on my knowledge. I will say this about Ed as I've gotten to know him, he's VERY straight when he speaks to you. Low key, but you always get that he's not going to bullshit you about anything. So don't ask him a question unless you REALLY want the answer.
I also got an eye roll out of Ed when I said during the Q&A, that Kirk was the best squatter of all time, which everyone thought was quite funny.
After the lunch break we had one more group to go through, and this time Brandon, Eric, and myself taught more as a team to finish up on bench. I wanted to combine the things B had been going over with his bench group from the previous day, with what I had been going over because I felt it would be a good combination of techniques.
I met a lot of people that told me they follow my blog and read my stuff, and though I'm still learning to deal with people telling me this, I am beyond words at how appreciative I am of when I hear it. I just don't always know how to handle it other than to say "thank you", and honesty be honored that someone would take the time out to read my work. Especially enough to come tell me they read it on a regular basis, and how much they have learned from all the writing I've done. I really, really appreciate that. More than I could ever express in words.
In closing I want to say that it was one of the most memorable weekends of my life in so many ways. I learned so much myself, and got to live and be part of an experience I never thought possible just a few years ago. I do not feel as though I am some "big shot" or take myself seriously because of it. More than anything, I am humbled that I've been able to do something well enough that someone would ask me to be part of such an event.
I do not feel "proud"....I feel honored.
I feel honored that Chad would ask me to participate. Thank you for extending yourself to me so that I could be a part of this thing.
I feel honored to have sat next to the Michael Jordan of powerlifting for a morning, answering questions with him.
I feel honored to have been part of a group that all was there, and gave their time to help and educate people that love and live our little sub culture of strength sports. There was a camaraderie among this group that I felt enveloped the whole event more like family. That's one of the things that I do love about powerlifting and strength sports. There are a lot of genuine people involved in it that give their time, effort, money, and knowledge so that others may get better from it. Yes, there are detractors, backstabbers, and the such that exist as well, however none of those people were present at Crossfit Chicago on this day.
On this day, we were all just lifters, trying to help each other out. Now if we could only get life to echo that sentiment as often as we would like. What a "seminar" that would be.
Also, Eric HATES that my calves are bigger than his......

Brandon has clearly taken the old saying "Don't stand if you can sit, don't sit if you can lie down" to heart.

That was an awesome write-up! Seriously, man. Write-ups like these make me wish I was there attending. But what a great recap of the weekend. Just judging frm the pics alone---you'd know it was a good time. A bunch of big-ass dudes sharing dropping knowledge bombs, lifting together, pushing each other to be Better---almost reminds me of the Golden Era---of Powerlifters that is. Freakin' awesome, man.
I wish I could have gone to that event, but I didn't know about it until it was too late to set aside money and request time off. Just being able to train with some really strong people would be awesome.
It does make me want to know the best approach for finding a good PL coach in my area. Internet coaching is all well and good, but you do loose a lot over the wire.
Sounds like a great event.
Awesome write up Paul I enjoyed reading this! Thank you for adding me in the write up :) I had a great time lifting with you and Pete!
Paul Carter June 11, 2013 at 6:09 PM
Ern you are the man. I'm so glad we finally got to meet and hang out. And your lifting is phenomenal!

SSL Certificate is important today for website security. SSL stand for Secure Socket Layer. SSL certificate helps to win the customer trust. Once SSL is applied on Dynamic Website Design, it shows a green pad lock before the website. This green padlock wins the customer trust and visitors can browse your website with confidence.
In the growing age of internet, cyber attack is also a challenge to deal with all the website attacks. There are different measures that Hosting companies are taking in order to serve the visitors to protect the websites. Software and Hardware firewalls, modsecurity, different rules designed to fight Brute force attack, Anti DDOS. These are some of the tools and mechanism used to fight the cyber security against websites.
Why is SSL Certificate important for Dynamic Website Design?
Since Dynamic Website has one login page of users to modify the content. This login page again gives the access to hackers to run different techniques of hacking. If SSL Certificate is enabled on dynamic Website, the possibility to steal the login credential is zero. This way, SSL Certificate is very important to Dynamic Websites.
Understanding different SSL is important. This factor determines the best SSL Certificate for your Website. From the very start of Domain Validation to Business validation, there are almost many varieties to choose from. Like the very basic is Domain Validation. This domain validation actually validate the domain identity from the whois record to confirm that this is actual owner of the domain.
One step ahead is Business Validation, this validates that the said domain belong to correct organization. In the recent times, there is gradually a increase in the phishing site. Some of the website pretends that they are the actual websites of a particular organization. In this situation, there are almost many cases are lodged for password hacking of bank accounts and other sensitive information. Like Banking segments have been seriously affected by this phishing sites. So, in this case Business validation website is suggested.
Visitors would be knowing that this website belongs to a correct information. Organization name is displayed in the browser with green bar having country information also. So, Extended SSL Certificate is the perfect choice for your organization.


Every once in a while there emerges upon the music scene a seminal creative talent, one to truly be considered both unique and special, artist: "Double YouKay" is one such talent. A veritable triple threat (artist, songwriter and producer) Double Youkay is positioned to garner critical and commercial success as his music is a refreshing departure from the present status quo. A self taught musician and composer from a very young age, this music visionary has dedicated himself to a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Congo African born and reared in Belgium, Double YouKay's "sound" is definitely in keeping with "today's" hottest artists, yet it is transcendent of any one music genre as it organically possesses elements reflective of his native African roots. While a relative newcomer to the music "industry" Double YouKay is however an enthralling live performer. It was in his earlier years where he fronted his band 'Les Schilo' that this energetic artist honed his stage savvy as they toured such countries as: The Netherlands, France, Sweden, Germany and throughout the U.K.
Double YouKay is soon headed your way! Look and listen for that which will set the world abuzz!!!
CATCH A GLIMPSE OF DOUBLE YOUKAY'S EPK BELOW.


I enjoy reading Black Enterprise magazine. It's full of great information, tools and tips to help people flourish in all aspects of life. I came across this article on their online website, titled "How to Make Your Career Idol Your Mentor" by Courtney Connley. This is VERY useful for anyone seeking an Advisor. Check it out!!
Attend speaking engagements/workshops: Make it your business to be front and center at their speaking engagements, workshops and any other community-related programs. Introduce yourself to them every time you see them in public letting them know how much you enjoyed their event or insights. Eventually, your name and face will start to ring a bell and they will be willing to offer you career tips.
Reach out via social media: Never underestimate the power of social networking. A simple tweet, LinkedIn message or Facebook comment can put you steps closer to getting in good graces with your career idol. You will be surprised how well someone will recognize your social media name when you finally meet them in person.
Ask them out to lunch: If your career idol lives in your area, there's absolutely no reason you two haven't met face-to-face. Shoot them an e-mail asking if they are available to meet for coffee, lunch, or an informational meeting at their office. They will likely be impressed that you follow their career and more than willing to meet with you to offer advice.


The 21st century is taking some getting used to. It seems to me both familiar and strange. In some ways, it is more fantastic than my wildest fantasies growing up in the 1960s. True, we do not have men on Mars. Nor are there giant space stations in earth orbit serenely rotating to the tune of Johann Strauss's The Blue Danube.
Still, it is an amazing new world that I inhabit. We've come a long way baby. I grew up in an age when the space program was just starting. The ordinary life I knew growing up was incredibly low tech. Only governments, banks and very rich companies could afford computers and they were housed in their own buildings. A typewriter was something of a luxury; most of us wrote out our letters by hand. Most office systems consisted of a typewriter, carbon paper and a card file. Air travel was largely only for the rich. I was 23 years old before I took my first commercial airline flight. The idea of a personal computer was ludicrous. Most of us drove cars with manual transmissions. Lacking power brakes, we had to push down hard on the pedals to stop the car. We owned cars that many of us could repair ourselves.
I am not sure when my world changed. Nevertheless, this new world I inhabit still seems surreal. The feeling comes back whenever I take a business trip. This week it was two nights and three days on the north side of Atlanta. It was a high tech experience all the way. It started when I inserted my electronic key into my hybrid and drove it to the long-term parking lot at Washington Dulles International Airport. A bus picked me up and took me to the terminal, but automated announcements kept me company the whole way. The driver did not have to say a thing.
Once inside the terminal there was no need to interact with a ticket agent. Like all the airlines now, I simply inserted a credit card into my airline's electronic agent machine. Within thirty seconds, I had a boarding pass in my hand. Getting through the security screening was the most labor-intensive part of my airport experience. Even so high tech machines sniffed and examined my carry on luggage. Many moving walkways and frequent escalators carried me quickly to Concourse B. At the gate a solid-state monitor, supplemented with many recordings, provided basic flight information and informed me of the weather at my destination.
Inside the airport, it seemed that everyone is talking to themselves. No, I was not looking at them carefully enough. They are yakking into their cell phones, informing their significant or insignificant others about every minute aspect of their journey. CNN blared above my head. Within easy walking distance were restrooms with automated toilets. A nearby Starbucks was ready to provide a quick caffeine jolt.
At least the MD-80 I was on is an older aircraft. The flight attendants were forced to do their safety briefings the old-fashioned way. However, many passengers were tuned into their MP3 players or wholly zoned out. The more adventurous on this ninety-minute flight booted up their laptop computers once we hit 10,000 feet and kept working. Time is precious in the 21st century. It must be filled with something. Only the old fashioned like myself take time to look out the window. For most, a jet is merely a quick way to get between two distant points, not a journey to be savored.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is a lot like Washington Dulles, just much bigger and feeling its age. More escalators and moving sidewalks whisked me where I needed to go. At least this airport has the now nearly compulsory automated subway linking concourses to the main terminal. Washington Dulles will not have it for a few more years.
At the Alamo car rental, of course my reservation is already in the computer. I was told to take my pick of any of the compact cars. I picked a bright red one on the assumption it would be easier to find. I handed my rental contract to the gate agent who scanned it. Within seconds, I am on the open road. Forty-five minutes later, I am at a Homewood Suites near the Cobb Galleria Centre. It is here that I encounter the only electronic hiccup of the day. While I am in their reservation system, the system cannot seem to assign me a room. The application, written in Visual Basic (I can tell from the error message) repeatedly bombs. Some old fashioned human ingenuity is called for. The clerk unassigns someone else's reservation so I can select theirs. The electronic room key is quickly encoded. Within minutes, I am relaxing in my second floor suite.
How suite it is. It was hardly a year ago that I was bemoaning the lack of high-speed internet in hotel rooms. Now it is pervasive. This hotel has the now standard high-speed internet service. In a minute, I am online, reading my email and surfing my favorite web sites. I may be five hundred miles away from home but with my government furnished laptop computer, it is as if I have never left. My virtual office and me. My suite and me. For suite living is the way to go. Moreover, this is the first suite I have stayed in that actually felt like an apartment. Even sweeter, it is a quiet room. While next to the Cobb Parkway, I do not hear road noise at all. This hotel is below the road surface and behind a berm. The comfy bed and lack of noise is itself a bit surreal, but allows me to get a deep sleep I can rarely get at home.
I have wheels but I do not need them that much. I am a couple hundred feet from a Schlotzsky's Deli. Cobb County may be in the intellectual dark ages when it comes to teaching evolution, but everything else is high tech. Gleaming office buildings, hotels and convenient retail abound. There is a movie theater across the street (I took in Syriana while I was there.) A mall up the street made a convenient place to buy some Christmas presents. However, mostly I prefer my cozy room. It comes with a fireplace, but no wood. (Do they expect guests to bring their own firewood and matches?) It has a stove, refrigerator and dishwasher but no food. (I used one glass and found the next day that the maid ran the dishwasher to clean it.) Generally, I do not like to travel alone. Yet if I must this is the way to do it: a nice quiet and comfortable suite with a fireplace I cannot use, two TVs and a convenient high-speed internet connection to distract me.
The Cobb Galleria Centre is a half mile up the road and the destination of my trip. It is beautiful, immaculately clean, quiet and plushly carpeted. In other words, it is like every other convention center in which I have ever been. It is the sort of place that had I stumbled upon it in the 1960s would have been breathtaking even without its many high tech features. Aside from the self-flushing toilets and urinals, each conference room has its own electronic board informing attendees about the current and future seminars in the room.
I am here to talk about the groundwater data in the system that I manage. I attend a committee meeting. In the afternoon I do an hour-long demonstration of the system I manage to passers by out by the registration area. The following day I give a half hour speech that is well received, then listened to more than three hours of similar speeches by others. At the conclusion of my business, I do it all in reverse, arriving back in Washington Dulles three quarters of an hour late. My flight left a rainy Atlanta shortly before sunset. I was treated to a surreal but stunning picture of a fingernail sun on the horizon dancing off the top of an endless carpet of dark stratus clouds. It was all just for me. For none of the other passengers seem to care. The guy next to me was methodically thumbing his Blackberry.
Although all this technology is so convenient and ubiquitous, the only real part for me is looking out the window and marveling at our complex planet from a height that would have astounded humans only a hundred years earlier. The rest of the journey feels surreal and artificial. I ache for something that feels more concrete. That is why business trips like the one I took last month to Helena, Montana turn out to be so much more fun. Arriving a day early to spend a day hiking mountains makes me appreciate the hotel's Jacuzzi and the end of the day. Clean mountain air beats the persistent press of cars and humans. For all its glitter, a dazzling convention center is no substitute for a mountain, raw and exposed to the elements, and a path to take me to its summit.
Although I make my living in the world of technology, I know the time will come when I will have had my fill of it. I will not give it up altogether. I will doubtless keep a computer and high-speed internet connection. Nevertheless, I do hope that retirement finds me somewhere far from the omnipresent press of gadgetry and civilization that is this newer, more crowded 21st Century. I will want a place with a view of a moose outside my window instead of a Hooters. If I miss a café latte, I will buy a machine. If a Barnes & Noble is not around the corner, I will order my books online. Someday again, nature will be around the corner instead of hours away. Someday I shall buy peace and nature.

Tournament start critical for the Dutch
Published 12.04.2015 22:55 GMT+2 | Author Joeri Loonen

Having participated on this level since 2000, the Dutch can easily be called the ultimate divisional experts.
Occasionally the Netherlands has flirted with promotion but they have also looked relegation in the face. Last year the Dutch only escaped the drop thanks to a lobsided 9-1 win over Romania on the final day. It marked their only victory in a tournament the Netherlands would like to forget quickly. Entering the tournament aiming for medal, a failing offense that managed to score just a single goal in the first three matches meant the Dutch had to brace themselves for a relegation battle instead.
Fast forward one year, there are questions galore about the strength of the host country. The 2014-15 Dutch league season was rocky to say the least. Several teams were forced to withdraw from participation due to financial troubles which even threatened the regular season as whole. In the end a five team league saw Unis Heerenveen Flyers and Destil Trappers Tilburg dominate and turn it into a two-team race. Tilburg won an exciting playoff finals in six games. Both teams have clearly outgrown the league and are planning to join the German Oberliga next season.
The majority of the squad of Chris Eimers, head coach of the Unis Flyers Heerenveen, is consisting out of the players from both teams. Eimers continued the the trend to play with home grown players rather than utilizing dual citizens.
Only two players on the Team Entry Long list have not played their junior hockey in the Netherlands: Steve Mason (Germany), Raphael Joly (Canada).
Suffering from lack of financial support after the Dutch Olympic Committee has decided to no longer provide financial support, the Netherlands are relying on being inventive and counting on the enthousiasm of the players.
Preparing for this tournmaent the Dutch played two exhibition games against Belgium which both ended up in comfortable victories (7-0; 14-0).
"We would have liked to play against other countries but lacked the finances to do so," explained Chris Eimers. "It's not easy to work with such limitations but we've got to take things as they come."
Although the preparation has not been ideal, a determined Dutch team is able to surprise any opponent on a given day. Three years ago during the Olympic qualifying tournament they caused an upset defeating hosts Hungary on home ice in a wild game after penalty shots; 7-6, stunning the crowd and advancing the final qualification round. A good start to a tournament seems to be vital for the Netherlands if they want to succeed.
With Lithuania as the first opponent the team in orange will meet a team they have been comfortably beaten over the years (see table below) until a 4-0 drubbing on the opening day last year. A loss the team has not forgotten and would like to erase instantly to get the crowd behind them.
With a handful of candidate players unavaialable due to ongoing club commitments, Eimers will be aiming to take full advantage of building on lines and special teams with players that have played together all season long. On top of that a leading offensive role will be given to Kevin Bruijsten who finished a successful point-per-game first season in the French top league with HC Amiens Somme.
The orange brigade will also be one of the tallest in the tournament with 10 players boast an impressive 188 cm height; 6'2.
Although a gold medal is probably too much of a reach, the Netherlands will want to use this tournament to build a solid fundament for the future. But more importantly the aim is to promote hockey with the tournament hosted on home ice.
"I'm confident that the media attention this tournament will bring can bring back ice hockey on the radar in the Netherlands," Eimers says. "
Captain Diederick Hagemeijer is also looking towards the future. "I really hope this squad can lay the first stone towards a bright future for the next generations of Dutch hockey. I feel honoured that I can captain the team that is paving the way for the future."
Until then the Dutch will remain stuck in the middle as they will face off their 16th consecutive Division 1 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships.

What's metaphysical about metaphysical necessity?
I begin by contrasting three approaches one can take to the distinction between the essential and accidental properties: an ontological, a deflationary, and a mind-dependent approach. I then go on to apply that distinction to the necessary a posteriori, and defend the deflationist view. Finally I apply the distinction to modal truth in general and argue that the deflationist position lets us avoid an otherwise pressing problem for the actualist: the problem of accounting for the source of modal truth.

Classical Arabic mainly refers to the language of the Qur'an or the texts that are guided by the Qur'an's form and content. Advanced students will be exposed to Islamic legal, theological, and mystical texts from the classical and medieval eras.
The Classical Arabic Program aims at mastering classical Arabic in a gradual and progressive manner. The foundational phase focuses on the linguistic aspect which includes grammar, morphology and rhetoric (nahw, sarf and balagha); at this level, students do not only excel in reading and understanding classical texts, but they are also able to analyze, translate and interpret them, resulting in developing listening, reading, speaking and writing skills necessary for the intermediate and advanced levels.
The intermediate and advanced level intends to move students from learning Arabic to using it as a tool to decipher various texts dealing with classical and contemporary issues. These include Scriptural Exegesis (tafsir), Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), Prophetic narratives (hadith) and Islamic history, to name a few. The books used in the advanced classical level are selfsame to those used by native speakers in Arab universities, which testifies to the advanced level a student at Ibn Ghazi Arabic Institute can achieve in about 2 years with little or no prior knowledge of Arabic.

A Springfield man is facing 11 felony charges following allegations that he sexually abused two girls over several years.
Marlon Davis, 37, was charged last week with statutory rape, two counts of attempted enticement of a child, seven counts of statutory sodomy and one count of sodomy after police say two unrelated girls reported that Davis had abused them.
According to a probable cause statement, one girl told authorities last week that Davis had abused her twice this year.
The girl said the first incident occurred in May when Davis forced her to touch his genitals, and the second incident occurred earlier this month when Davis took her to an apartment and forced her to have sex with him, according to the statement.
The statement says another girl also reported that Davis had abused her several times over a 10-year period.
This girl said that Davis had forced her to perform sex acts on him, according to the statement.
The statement says police tried to interview Davis after he was arrested on Friday but he declined to speak with the detective.
Davis is being held in the Greene County Jail on $100,000 bond. He does not have an attorney listed for this case.

It's The Fault Of The Jews.
Somehow, everything that's wrong with the world, seems to be Israel's fault. Or the fault of the Jews.
The past few weeks (in the world of TERRORISM) have been bad for everyone; everyone that is, except the disseminators of anti-Westernism, anti-Democraticism, anti-Americanism, and anti-Semitism.
Somehow though, everything that's wrong with the world, seems to be Israel's fault. Or the fault of the Jews.
Terrorists blow up two Synagogues in Turkey. It's Israel's fault. Or the fault of the Jews.
Terrorists blow up the British Trade Commission and two British banks in Turkey. It's Israel's fault. Or the fault of the Jews.
Terrorists attacked the USA on 9/11. it's Israel's fault. Or the fault of the Jews.
Iraqi resistance is Killing Italian, British and American soldiers. It's Israel's fault. Or the fault of the Jews.
It seems that Israel (Jews) is the reason for everything horrible that is happening in the world.
If Israel would only be nice. Better yet. If Israel would just cease to exist everything would instantly be better.
That seems to be the message.
And for the murder of Jews in Israel at the hands of Islamists and Arab TERRORISTS. It's not the fault of the murderers. It's Israel's fault. Or more succinctly; the fault of the Jews.
My father fought and bled as a Canadian soldier during five years of the Second World War. He distinguished himself fighting in France, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands and Germany, way above and beyond the call of duty.
Yet, as a young boy, I personally remember hearing people talk about fighting the Jews' war, while in reality, cemeteries worldwide are filled with the bodies of Jewish soldiers who fought Nazi tyranny.
Was it Israel's fault, or the fault of Jews that European Catholics and Protestants murdered each other for generations?
Was it Israel's fault, or the fault of Jews that the Arch Duke Ferdinand was murdered in the Balkans, bringing the planet to the First World War?
Was it Israel's fault, or the fault of Jews when the Germans decided to occupy Czechoslovakia with the permission of France, England and Italy? Where was the League of Nations?
Was it Israel's fault, or the fault of Jews when the Germans invaded Poland, triggering the Second World War?
Was it Israel's fault, or the fault of Jews when the Japanese Imperial Air Force and Navy attacked Pearl Harbor?
Was it Israel's fault, or the fault of Jews that the Germans decided to murder 6,000,000 men, women and children in cold blood, simply because they had Jewish genes in their DNA? And then another 6,000,000 who were not Jews at all?
Was it Israel's fault, or the fault of Jews when Stalin crushed most of Europe, including all who fell under his reign?
Was it Israel's fault, or the fault of Jews that the former Soviet Union held the world at the edge of war for half a century?
Is it Israel's fault, or the fault of Jews that , Irish Protestants and Irish Catholics have been terrorizing each other for a century or more?
Was it Israel's fault, or the fault of Jews when the North Koreans went to war against the South?
Was it Israel's fault, or the fault of Jews when India erupted into civil war between Moslems and Hindus?
Was it Israel's fault, or the fault of Jews when Mao Tse Tung took power in China, creating the world's largest Communist prison?
Is it Israel's fault, or the fault of Jews that millions upon millions of Africans routinely slaughter one another, with no end in sight? Or that Aids is Africa's single largest uncontrolled killer?
Was it Israel's fault, or the fault of Jews when Iraq invaded Kuwait?
Is it Israel's fault, or the fault of Jews that the former Yugoslavia fell into a viscous civil war between Moslems, Catholics and Orthodox Christians?
Everything evil that has happened prior to 1948, including the two World Wars could not possibly have been Israel's fault, since Israel didn't exist. But all of that evil happened nonetheless.
And everything evil that has happened since 1948 has had nothing whatsoever to do with Israel or jews. Yet; to hear it from the intellectuals, the elitists, and much of the Media. It's all Israel's fault.
The German economy was in turmoil after the First World War. The Treaty of Versailles left Germany fiscally hopeless and eternally humiliated. The entire planet was in an economic tailspin. Yet; Germany managed to finger the Jews for all of their ills.
To Right Wing Germans, it was Jewish Socialists responsible for their economic debacle. To Left Wing Germans, it was Jewish Capitalists who were the bane of Germany's social predicament.
And to virtually all of Germany: Jews lived well. Therefore; all the ills that befell Germany must have been the fault of the Jews. What else could it have been?
But it wasn't only in Germany. France was no less kind to Jews. Neither were Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Croatia or Russia. To name but a few.
It seemed to the whole world, even prior to Israel, that everything bad that happened to humanity could be blamed on the Jews.
And now, 60 years after the Holocaust, this is the exact same message we are hearing again. It's all the fault of the Jews. Except now, instead of saying the Jews, they say Israel. The meaning is exactly the same.
I wonder just how big a Wall Jews really need to construct in order keep out the evil. To me, it seems like the Wall could never be quite big enough, since it appears, that to much of the world, it will always be the fault of the Jews.
The more that changes. The more that stays the same.

PARIS (Reuters) - France on Wednesday condemned a failed Iranian satellite launch that it said used technology applicable to long-range missiles and urged Tehran to stop all ballistic tests which are not in line with U.N. resolutions.
It was the latest in a string of French comments expressing irritation at Iran's ongoing ballistic missile program despite attempts over the last two years by France and other European powers to open talks on the subject with Iranian authorities.
"The Iranian ballistic program is a source of concern for the international community and France," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Agnes von der Muhll said in a statement.
Iranian officials said on Tuesday their bid to launch a satellite had failed. President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday that the Islamic Republic would be ready for a new satellite launch in a few months.
Iran, which considers its space program a matter of national pride, has said its space-vehicle launches and missile tests are not violations of U.N. resolutions and would continue.
Western powers are concerned that the long-range ballistic technology used to put satellites into orbit could also be used to launch nuclear warheads. Iran has repeatedly denied any intent to develop nuclear weapons.

Fr. Robert Barron's Word On Fire - Why Confession Matters Today
Word on Fire Catholic Ministries is a nonprofit organization which supports Catholic evangelical preaching. Led by Father Robert Barron to draw people into or back to the Catholic faith.
Two of the world's best-known public figures, Pope Francis and Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, met for the first time Thursday in Rome.
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II meets with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Thursday, April 3. Over the years, she has also met many of his papal predecessors. The private audience with Pope Francis was the first meeting between the 87-year-old queen, who is Supreme Governor of the Church of England, and Pope Francis, head of the Roman Catholic Church. According to Vatican Radio, Thursday's audience marked the queen's seventh encounter with a pontiff and the fifth different pope she has met. Besides trips to Rome, she also welcomed Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI, now Pope Emeritus, on their respective visits to Britain. Her first papal encounter was with Pope Pius in 1951, the year before she ascended the throne, the broadcaster said. Britain's ambassador to the Holy See, Nigel Baker, told Vatican Radio the Queen had decided to take advantage of the rescheduled trip to meet Pope Francis. "If you look back in terms of Queen Elizabeth's reign, it is extraordinary how far the relationship between Britain and the Holy See, and between the Anglican Church and the Catholic Church, has developed since 1952 when she became queen," he said. A key aspect of that has been her several encounters with different popes over the years, Baker said.
The Queen and Prince Philip meet Pope John Paul ll for the first time in October 1980.
There is something prophetic about this picture that makes it especially all the more enchanting. Ecumenism is a reality; a yearning that all true Christians are striving for. I pray that I may live to see this reality come to fruition.
Giovanni Ballini, Madonna and Child, 1485-1490 Oil on wood; 35 x 28 in. (88.9 x 71.1 cm) Metropolitan Museum of Art New York The Madonna and Child or The Virgin and Child is often the name of a work of art which shows the Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus. The word Madonna means "My Lady" in Italian. Artworks of the Christ Child and his mother Mary are part of the Catholic tradition in many parts of the world including Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, South America and the Philippines. Paintings known as icons are also an important tradition of the Orthodox Church and often show the Mary and the Christ Child. They are found particularly in Eastern Europe, Russia, Egypt, the Middle East and India.
The Crucifix
Lets be proud Christians, proud of our Faith and Church. Display the image and reason for our faith to all humankind. We should be proud to wear and display our faith to the world. No more should we be told to hide our faith behind closed doors, to leave it behind when we're at work or socializing. We should be proud Christians, happy Christians, rejoicing in our faith, happy to share it with the curious and with our silent brothers and sisters in the hope that it will rekindle their lost love of Our Savior Jesus Christ and his Church. Thank you.
