The Holloway Pathfinder Club is one of the nearly 30,000 Pathfinder clubs operating in 120 countries around the world. We are a community service oriented youth organization sponsored by the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, though young people of any religious persuasion or none at all, are welcome and encouraged to join us.
Our club provides a key step in its educational program, that is, an opportunity to take the children out from a classroom setting into outdoor adventures as well. Participants are children and teenagers aged 10-15, progressing through different class levels each year.
The Pathfinder Club consists of a recreational-spiritual program for youth who want to discover their world and themselves. The club is compared to a Boy Scouts.
Interactive training in a variety of recreational, artistic, nature, conservation, vocational, and outreach areas such as Baking, Candle Making and Sewing with awards (honours) given for successful completion of the honour.
In addition to our own Club organised camps, we attend a large event known as Pathfinder Camporee, these camps ranges from locally, that is, within the UK or Internationally, that is, Europe and USA. In 2004 we attended Camporee in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA where over 30,000came together to enjoy fellowship and participate in events, competitions and religious meetings.


When is time to take back Erebor, Thorin would have his nephews join him, but their eager departure comes at a cost-felt keenly by their mother. Dís tries to have faith as she bids farewell to her sons, but it is hard not to wish that everything had remained as it was-safe, certain, and ordinary.
"When Thorin saw the sundress in the shop window, he knew he had to buy it..."
"Ever since they had met at the children's home the two of them had been taking care of each other, like sisters. Or lovers."
Tauriel and Sigrid are working as escorts to make a living until they meet two very unusual clients, named Kíli and Fíli.
"Dís was getting ready for tonight, meaning that she was dressing up, putting some make-up on, doing her hair..." - Dís has a new partner and while she is getting ready for date-night, she contemplates her life.
Kíli's has an important thing to tell their family...and their family has much to tell them in return.
Kíli and Tauriel are married and expecting their first child. Thorin, however, sends Kíli on a diplomatic and trade mission to the Blue Mountains which, of course, will take several months. While he is away, Tauriel misses him so badly that Thorin tries to comfort his niece-in-law. One thing leads to another... Based on a prompt/idea by Cassidy_And_The_Company.
There is no more powerful force in nature than a mother's love for her children, for this is a love that brings miracles.
Though the main focus is on Fíli and Sigrid and the development of their relationship, this story will also contain a lot of Kiliel (maybe not the way the reader might expect) as well as other relationships and shine a light on several (dark) family secrets.
Fíli and Kíli met Tauriel and Sigrid online, in a forum for people dealing with emotional and physical pain... Months later they decide to commit suicide together... Will they go through with it?
Many of these feature recurring OCs whom you may recognise from other works I've done. This collection(at least for pre-Zahrar stories) can be considered Fíli's background in dwelf-'Verse, and some will feature direct references, while others belong to different verses and story-lines.
This is one of the things for which I take prompts, so feel free to comment here or on tumblr if you've got a situation you'd like to see Fíli handle.
Marked complete, but may receive additional updates.
After the Battle of the Five Armies, Sigrid is helping to tend to the injured in the ruins of Dale. Then, the surviving crown prince of Erebor asks for her... Prequel to my series "Marriage Vows".

Iranian Authorities Learned Cause of Ukrainian Plane Crash Only on January 10
Region, World

Iran's authorities learned that the Ukrainian passenger jet had been shot down by mistake by the country's own missile defense systems only on January 10, in other words, the day before it was officially admitted, Iranian government spokesperson Ali Rabei said on Monday, TASS reports.
"The General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces received the results of the probe only on Friday and the Supreme National Security Council gathered for a meeting on the same day," IRIB quoted him as saying. "No one, including the country's President Hassan Rouhani, knew the cause of the plane's crash before January 10."
According to the spokesperson, as soon as the president was informed about the cause of the tragedy, he immediately took a decision to come out with an address to the nation.
On January 8, a Boeing-737 of the Ukrainian International Airlines bound for Kiev crashed minutes after takeoff at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport. The crash killed all 176 people on board — citizens of Afghanistan, Germany, Iran, Canada and Ukraine and also British and Swedish subjects.
On January 11, Iran's Armed Forces General Staff released a statement admitting that the plane had been mistakenly shot down. According to Iranian Brigadier-General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, the plane was misidentified as a cruise missile by the air defense force.

Rosie O'Donnell Prays For Apology To Melania Trump For Barron Autism Tweet [VIDEO]
Well-known artist and comedian Rosie O'Donnell apologizes to the forthcoming first lady of the United States Melania Trump after sharing a video which suggested Melania's 10-year-old son Barron Trump could be autistic.
According to a report by Breitbart, the mid age comedian actually shared with her 900,000 Twitter followers on November 21, which was actually uploaded by a man named James Hunter on November 11. She tweeted the video stating "Barron Trump Autistic? If so - what an amazing opportunity to bring attention to the AUTISM epidemic."
Claiming himself to be autistic and also describing as it was his attempt to stop bullying on the patients of autism, Hunter also apologized to Melania Trump on November 29th, 2016, when his video turned viral all due to O'Donnell's sharing.
After about a two weeks of her sharing the video on her Twitter handle, Rosie O'Donnell finally prays for mercy to Melania Trump. According to Mail Online, she states in a tweet: "I apologize to @MELANIATRUMP - i was insensitive on my RT - I am sorry for the pain i caused - it was not my intent - i am truly sorry,"
However, after keeping herself cool for a while, Melania Trump finally burst with her anger and disagreement in this case. In a letter from her attorney, Charles J. Harder, Mrs.Trump says that apart from turning down the bullying, Hunter's video actually made the situation worse, and for this, all credits go to O'Donnell and her effort for promoting the video.
Later, Hunter removed the footage from his youtube account and added a video apologizing to Trump family for this. Now O'Donnell has also admited that her three-year-old daughter Dakota was diagnosed in September with high functioning autism.

If people say, 'We don't want you to do this,' then we don't move forward with it.
Backers have pointed to recent scandals at Wells Fargo, which admitted to creating as many as 3.5 million unauthorized accounts, as an example of the ills of the financial services industry.
They have also highlighted the successes of the Bank of North Dakota, arguing that it successfully weathered the last recession without the bailouts that went to Wall Street banks, and has returned tens of millions of dollars in profits to state coffers.
The ballot measure is "the first step in a process where Angelenos will decide what kind of bank they want to put their money in — the Wall Street banks that crashed the economy and invest in guns and oil — or a public institution that invests in Los Angeles," wrote David Jette, legislative director for Public Bank L.A., a local group advocating for the measure.
But skeptics say voters should not give the green light before the city has spelled out how much forming a municipal bank would cost and how it would operate.
Wesson said he expects that any move to form a bank would come back to Angelenos for another vote on the details. Even if voters back the measure, creating a public bank would be far from a sure thing. City analysts have warned that ensuring public funds go into such a bank could necessitate more changes to the City Charter and state law.
That has not reassured critics such as Jack Humphreville, a neighborhood council budget advocate who wrote the ballot argument against the measure, which he derides as a "blank check" that could lead to a poorly run and financially risky operation.
Humphreville has pointed to the failures of the shuttered L.A. Community Development Bank as an example.
That entity, which made loans but did not take deposits or provide other banking services, had a "politicized" loan process that "distorted decisions so as to favor politically connected borrowers," Cal State Northridge economics professors wrote.
Backers, in turn, argue that the municipal bank could be protected from political pressure with an independent board.
Wesson, who has his own financial problems, stressed that council members would not be running the bank themselves and there would be a "firewall" to prevent interference. Those and other details, he said, would be determined once voters decide if they want the city to move forward.
Mayor Eric Garcetti, who supports the initiative, said if it passes, "we'll need to take a serious look at how feasible it would be to create, fund and maintain such a bank in a responsible and effective way." Councilman Paul Krekorian, who heads a council committee focused on the budget, has not taken a position, his spokesman said.
As of late September, no campaign committees had reported spending funds to sway voters on the measure, according to Ethics Commission records.
Public Bank L.A. and other advocates have tried to drum up support among unions and voter organizations that backed Vermont's independent Sen. Bernie Sanders' last bid for president and reached out to local chambers of commerce, arguing that a public bank could provide loans to small businesses.
Online videos produced by volunteers denounce big banks for financing fossil fuel extraction and arms manufacturing, and tout that a public bank could help combat economic inequality and climate change.
Wesson had suggested that a municipal bank could give the cannabis industry a safe place to park its cash when it is turned away by other banks, but that could be complicated because marijuana is still illegal under federal law.
If the municipal bank tried to work with cannabis companies, it could be cut out of federal payment systems, for example. Cannabis groups have not made an aggressive push so far to support the measure.
And Wesson said he is not planning a "structured" campaign. His push to put the charter amendment on the ballot surprised public banking advocates such as Ellen Brown, founder of the nonprofit Public Banking Institute. She and others have fretted that a loss at the polls could be a major setback for the broader movement.
Still, some advocates believe that going straight to the voters could be a smoother path to a public bank than first creating a commission, as other jurisdictions that have mulled public banks have done.
Public bank advocates lament that those commissions, which often include members from the banking industry, generally end up concluding that creating a public bank would be too difficult and expensive.

Nõmme Kalju FC will be involved in UEFA Europa League qualifying next season after a 2-0 victory against Paide Linnameeskond in the Estonian Cup final.
Nõmme Kalju FC defeated Paide Linnameeskond 2-0 to claim the Estonian Cup and book a place in 2015/16 UEFA Europa League qualifying.
Kalju, who won their first nine league games this term, looked comfortable throughout against the team second from bottom in the Estonian top flight. Artjom Dmitrijev broke the deadlock – following some stout Paide defending – just before half-time, applying the finishing touch to Allan Kimbaloula's cross from the right.
Paide were forced to open up as the second period progressed and Kalju duly capitalised on the space to double their advantage with 14 minutes left. Though Tarmo Neemelo's header was saved by Mart-Mattis Niinepuu, Kimbaloula was on hand to convert the rebound.
"The first half was quite difficult as our players didn't keep their shape," said Kalju coach Sergei Terehhov. "Luckily, it was us who scored just before half-time. In the second half, we had more space to attack and create chances. Dmitrijev added: "We are very happy and will try to hold our own in Europe. It was a tough match as our opponents always had nine or ten men behind the ball."
Paide's veteran defender Liivo Leetma said: "We had planned to give our opponents the initiative, but perhaps we should have been more aggressive in the second half instead of staying cautious and sticking to the plan."


I have a feeling that today will be harder.
I wake up and my father is not there. He is at work 6:30am sharp. Like I said, it will take time to adjust. I still have about eighty three good years left. Not to worry, I reassure myself. Today, the morning news is good, filled with funny talk show hosts and segments, that aren't so depressing. Today will be better, I reassure myself, again.
As I head downstairs, I wonder what my father is doing right now. Hopefully, he is doing well. Maybe he is blessing a new baby with a DDK that is average, not above or below.
My mother is making me my favourite breakfast; French toast. David is eating scrambled eggs, his favourite as well. "Good Morning Rachel." My mother says. "Good Morning Mom." I reply. She seems to be in a rather good mood. I knew things would be better today, I just knew it. "David told me that today you were going to makes cookies with him, after school. Is this true?" she asks. "Yes mom, we were going to go to the bakery down the street yesterday, but it was closed." I tell her the truth. "Why didn't you go?" she asks. I reply "It was allegedly told that this was the last place that Derek Smool ate at, before he got sick. It has been shut down, just for now I guess." She doesn't seemed surprise. She tells me that she heard it on the news last night. I wonder why she didn't tell me?
After eating breakfast, I go upstairs and get ready. I listen to some music to get me in a better mood, like usual. Once I am done, I get my bag and get ready, but just before I walk out my mother calls me.
"Rachel, why didn't you take the bus yesterday?" she says calmly. "I wanted to get some fresh air." I lie. My mother senses that I am lying through my eyes but doesn't bother to ask. "School is closed today; everyone was instructed to stay inside. They're investigating." Great. Just peachy great. I wanted to leave the house just one day and go to school, not having to worry about home, but of course school is cancelled today, of course. "Can I call Leah to come over?" I ask. Then I can have someone to talk to. "Sure. You can make cookies with her if you want." Uh.
"Hey Leah, want to come over today?" I ask. "Uh, I wish. My grandfather's sick. It's only a year until his DDK, so we all knew it was coming soon." Boo. I wish she could come over but I totally understand, I lost my grandfather the year of his DDK, it was hard for all of us. We expected it, but at the same time we didn't. "Did he get eighty five?" I ask. "Yeah, I have to go, talk to you later." She says "Bye, best wishes." I add.

Info Jaws John Williams
Theme From Jaws
«Jaws'» The original soundtrack for Jaws was released on LP by MCA in 1975, and as a CD in 1992, including roughly a half-hour of music that John Williams redid for the album. In 2000, two versions of the score were released: one in a re-recording of the entire Jaws score by Royal Scottish National Orchestra conducted by Joel McNeely, and another to coincide with the release of the 25th anniversary DVD by Decca/Universal, featuring the entire 51 minutes of the original score. In 2005, it was ranked No.6 in AFI's 100 Years of Film Scores, a list which compiles the greatest American film scores.
John Williams composed the film's score, which earned him an Academy Award, his second win and first for Original Score, and was later ranked the sixth greatest score by the American Film Institute. The main «shark» theme, a simple alternating pattern of two notes—variously identified as «E and F» or «F and F sharp» became a classic piece of suspense music, synonymous with approaching danger (see leading-tone).
Williams described the theme as «grinding away at you, just as a shark would do, instinctual, relentless, unstoppable.» The piece was performed by tuba player Tommy Johnson. When asked by Johnson why the melody was written in such a high register and not played by the more appropriate French horn, Williams responded that he wanted it to sound «a little more threatening».
When Williams first demonstrated his idea to Spielberg, playing just the two notes on a piano, Spielberg was said to have laughed, thinking that it was a joke. As Williams saw similarities between Jaws and pirate movies, at other points in the score he evoked «pirate music», which he called «primal, but fun and entertaining».
The primal opening notes are developed from the opening foreboding tone of Ravel's La Valse. Calling for rapid, percussive string playing, the score contains echoes as well of Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring.

With the lake bed drained in late October, work was being done to transition the Stewart Lake area of Scioto Trail State Park to the natural stream. The dam is being removed due to costly repairs needed to keep it functional.

Stewart Lake becomes a part of history at Scioto Trail State Park
Julie Billings
Nov 21, 2020 Updated Dec 4, 2020
Scioto Trail State Park once featured two lakes. Now, only one remains.
Located just across the county line in nearby Ross County, Scioto Trail State Park offers a 218-acre park that is nestled within the 9,000-acre Scioto Trail State Forest. A small portion of those 9,000 acres are located within Pike County near Back Hollow, Gee Hollow and Wilson Run roads.
Stewart Lake, the first lake visible when entering the park from U.S. 23 and traveling along Ohio 372/Stoney Creek Road, reportedly developed a leak, and now the dam is being removed.
According to Heidi Hetzel-Evans, Communications Manager of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Stewart Lake dam is an 80-year-old Class 1 (high hazard) Dam which is regulated by ODNR's Division of Water Resources, Dam Safety Program. The dam needed repairs and upgrades to remain functional. ODNR determined that the decommissioning/removal of the dam was the best option considering the costly repairs needed.
Within ODNR's online document on dam repairs, it explains that much like buildings, bridges, and roads, dams are designed and constructed to function effectively for a specific period of time. This period of time is called design life. The design life of a dam will vary, but it is not unusual for a dam to function effectively for 100 years or more. Concrete structures, spillway and drain pipes, valves and gates, and embankment surfaces deteriorate and usually require repairs at some point during a dam's design life.
By ODNR's dam classification, Class 1 is the highest class with the most catastrophic outcome if the dam were to break. According to ODNR's dam locator, Stewart Lake's current earthen dam has a length of 360 feet, and height of 33 feet. Normal pool area is 6.4 acres, while the top of dam storage volume in acre-feet is 114.
Hetzel-Evans said the Stewart Lake dam will be removed by the end of the year. The water has already been drained in order to reduce the hazard of holding back potential energy and to dry out the lake bed. The lake bed will be used to reconstruct the dam breach. There will no longer be a lake in that location.
According to Hetzel-Evans, after the dam is fully removed, a rock-lined channel will be placed where the existing dam was located. The natural stream, Stony Creek, will flow through the old lake bed area. At this time, there is no other development of the area planned. According to the park's website, primitive walk-in camp sites are still going to be available in the Stewart Lake area.
Historically, many of the lakes in today's state parks throughout Ohio were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).
Scioto Trail State Park's history listed online explains that initial purchases of land for the park and forest began in 1922. Most of the major development took place in the 1930s during the original Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) era. CCC crews constructed most of the roads, lakes and original recreational facilities of the region.
The Ohio History Connection shares more details about the CCC, which was created by then-President Franklin Delano Roosevelt March 31, 1933. The CCC was part of Roosevelt's New Deal. Roosevelt hoped that his New Deal would allow people in the United States to cope with effects of the Great Depression.
The Civilian Conservation Corps hired unemployed men between the ages of 18 and 25 years of age to work on various government projects. These projects focused upon road construction, flood control, reforestation, and soil erosion prevention. CCC workers also improved or constructed local, state, and national parks.
Government officials organized the CCC like a military unit, with workers living in camps, wearing uniforms, and serving under the command of officers. Of the $30 pay each worker received, $25 was sent home to the family to help during the Great Depression, while the CCC covered the basic living expenses of each worker, including food, housing and clothing. The CCC provided employment to more than 3 million young men by its end. (from ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Civilian_Conservation_Corps)
Even though Stewart Lake will soon be a part of history, Caldwell Lake remains a focal point at the park.
Caldwell Lake, which underwent dam and spillway renovations in recent years, will remain as the park's lone lake. It is located near the main camping area and offers a small boat ramp for electric motors or hand-powered vessels. Kayaks, canoes and paddleboats can be rented seasonly from the campground check-in location. Wooded and electric camping sites are available nearby. Fishing, picnicking, and swimming at a small unguarded beach are also available at Caldwell Lake.
The rest of the park and surrounding state forest offers trails for hiking, mountain bicycling and horseback riding.
The U.S. 23 entrance to the park has also seen some work in recent months as crews from the Ohio Department of Transportation work in the area to repair the hillside along the northbound lanes and prevent future hill slips.

Runaway Nightmare (1982)
Comedy, Horror • 1h 34m • 1982
After discovering a woman buried alive, two Death Valley worm farmers are kidnapped by an all-female cult of gun runners who, after making the men into their sex slaves, force them to assist in a plan to steal a suitcase full of platinum from the mafia.
Combining black comedy with elements of horror, action, thriller, and surrealist cinema, director/writer/producer/editor/star Mike Cartel's (PETS, BITTER HERITAGE) RUNAWAY NIGHTMARE stands as one of the most fiercely unique works of outsider/cult cinema to emerge from the 1970s and 80s. Also featuring a co-starring performance from Georgia Durante, author of THE COMPANY SHE KEEPS and crewed by Rowdy Herrington (director of ROAD HOUSE) and Daryn Okada (cinematographer of MEAN GIRLS).
"I might best describe it as an S&M western co-directed by Doris Wishman and Rainer Werner Fassbinder filtered through the minds of the Manson family as their brains bake under the heat of the desert sun." — Thomas Duke, Cinema Gonzo

Kohl's – The retailer earned $1.76 per share for its latest quarter, 12 cents a share above estimates. Revenue also beat forecasts. Comparable-store sales rose 3.1 percent, higher than the 2.7 percent increase anticipated by analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters, and Kohl's also raised its full-year earnings forecast.
Charles Schwab, E*Trade, TD Ameritrade – The discount brokerages are seeing their stocks pressured, following a CNBC.com report about a new JPMorgan Chase app that offers free stock trading.
Medtronic – The medical device maker reported adjusted quarterly profit of $1.17 per share, 6 cents a share above estimates. Revenue also topped Street forecasts. Medtronic raised its full-year revenue guidance, as it sees strong sales in its cardiac and vascular businesses.
J.M. Smucker – The food producer came in 2 cents a share above estimates, with adjusted quarterly profit of $1.78 per share. Smucker's revenue missed forecasts, however, and the company also cut its full-year outlook based on divestitures as well as slower sales of some products.
Coty – The beauty products maker earned an adjusted 14 cents per share for its latest quarter, beating estimates by a penny a share. Revenue fell below forecasts, however, hurt by supply chain disruptions.
Toll Brothers – Toll reported quarterly profit of $1.26 per share, beating the consensus estimate of $1.03 a share. The luxury home builder's revenue also topped forecasts as it sold more homes at higher prices. Toll raised the lower end of its fiscal 2019 average home price forecast by $5,000, now seeing an average price between $835,000 and $860,000.

Carl-Axel Acking was a Swedish architect, furniture designer and professor of design at the University of Lund. He started his career as assistant to the Swedish master architect Gunnar Asplund, who defined the Swedish expressions of both classicism and functionalism in the 1920s, establishing the tone for future architects and designers. Acking was Asplund's senior assistant of furniture design and as such designed the iconic interiors of World Heritage Site Skogskyrkogården in Stockholm and of the addition to Gothenburg Court House in the late 1930s.
Carl-Axel Acking went on to work on his own, participating in the World Exhibition of 1939 in New York, where the Swedish delegation launched the concept of Swedish Modern. This entailed a crisp new take on modernism with Acking and Josef Frank as central contributors and the Swedish exhibit became a great success. Acking subsequently became the most sought-after interior architect in Sweden, designing interiors for embassies, government buildings and other public spaces. He also designed furniture for major firms such as Nordiska Kompaniet (NK) and Bodafors, creating the most notable handcrafted furniture of the 1930s to 1950s. He was also Head Teacher of Furniture Design at Konstfack, thus deeply influencing the next generation of Swedish modernists, among them John Kandell. In 1955 Acking was Head Architect of the iconic Helsingborg Exhibition, H55, which marked the end of Swedish Modern and set the tone for the future, graphic post-war industrial design of Scandinavia. Carl-Axel Acking became professor of architecture at the University of Lund in 1964 and directed his own architectural firm in Lund into the 1980s.

We had to...


In this semi-baffling release, the silk-tongued Sufjan Stevens has collaborated with Chicago hip-hop artist Serengeti and electronic composer Son Lux for four tracks of oddball weirdness. Beak & Claw is largely a showcase for Serengeti's ambling, free-association raps, here set to glitchy electro pop, with mostly silly lyrics. The EP itself feels as if it's either tongue-in-cheek, or a piece of Andy Kaufman-esque anti-comedy. The record's closing track, "Octomom," which chronicles the narrator's dating history with the titular tabloid target, starting with him taking her to prom and ending with their happy reunion years later at a deli, seems indicative of this outing's intentions. This can't be serious—can it?
Where does Sufjan Stevens fit into all of this? "Museum Day" presents Stevens in overblown Auto-Tune mode; it's used less as it was in his experimentation with it on The Age of Adz, and more in the way of what you'd hear to correct off notes by pop radio artists such as T-Pain or (oof) Miley Cyrus. Any Stevens fan will know that pitch correction is totally unnecessary; if its garish use here is supposed to be a joke, it's one that falls flat. Stevens is back in backup singer mode on "Beyond Any Doubt," also handling part of the chorus, and in "Octomom," where he takes care of the party anthem-aping hook, singing "I had the night of my life" on repeat. Stevens seems barely present on the EP's best track, "If This Is Real," where Serengeti picks up his leisurely pace, rapping quickly over a catchy R&B hook.
Joke or not a joke, this isn't great music. Very little on Beak & Claw seems to fit together, and the artists are a weird match outside the alliteration of their names. With his various side projects quickly adding up, Stevens could soon find himself in the company of similar, occasionally frustrating artists such as Beck and Mike Patton, whose numerous collaborations often only make the time between records feel that much longer.

Review: Horns by Joe Hill
16:49 Jo 2 comments
Horns by Joe Hill - Once, Ig lived the life of the blessed: born into privilege, he had security and wealth and a place in his community. Ig had it all, and more — he had the love of Merrin Williams, a love founded on shared daydreams, mutual daring, and unlikely midsummer magic.
Then beautiful, vivacious Merrin was gone - raped and murdered, under inexplicable circumstances - and Ig was the only suspect. He was never tried for the crime, but in the court of public opinion he was and always would be guilty.
But now Ig can hear people's deepest, darkest secrets and means to use this ability to find whoever killed Merrin.
It's time for a little revenge.
It's the time the devil had his due. From the blurb.
I bought Horns by Joe Hill after having it recommended to me by my best mate. It's not my usual thing, I tend to stay away from horror, but my friend convinced me, telling me it's not actually horror. I'm so glad I took his advice, because Horns is awesome!
It's been a year since the rape and murder of his girlfriend Merrin when Ignatius wakes up from a drunken night out to find horns have sprouted out of his head. No idea what's happening to him, he seeks help. From doctor, from a priest. But instead of helping - or being terrified at the sight of his horns - everyone he encounters has a compulsion to tell him their deepest, darkest desires, and ask for his permission to do the things they want. He also discovers that whenever he touches anyone, he gets a glimpse into their past, their memories of the sins they have committed. When someone reveals something about the night of Merrin's death, Ig decides to embrace his new abilities to discover what happened to Merrin, and seek revenge for her death.
Oh my god, this book! Despite being shelved in horror when I bought it, there's nothing typically horror-esque about this novel. I'm quite a wimp, and I can't deal with scary, but there's nothing terryfying about this story - at least not in the way you'd think. What scared me the most was the things people would admit to wanting when they saw Ig with his horns. It's such a clever idea, but complete car crash territory. The things the various characters admitted to wanting or feeling were so disturbing, sometimes sickening and disgusting, but I couldn't help be fascinated by the horns compulsion and by what would be admitted to next. It's horrifying to think that these normal, ordinary people would harbour such desires - not all sexual, though some were. It really has your thoughts going in directions regarding the people you know you don't want them too; what do these people really think? At the same time, it was also darkly funny; the matter of fact, calm way they admitted to these thoughts, and then their eagerness and hope when asking permission for Ig to do these things. The first third of the book is about this side of things as Ig tries to work out what's going on and how to fix it, and it's pretty amusing while disturbing.
Then the story moves on when we discover hints about what happened the night of Merrin's death. There are a few flashbacks throughout the book from Ig and two other people, giving background to Ig from when he was a teenager, and then from others about the night on Merrin's death. Despite being a fan of YA, I wasn't so interested in Ig's life as a teenager, despite feeling like YA. It's just, with what's happening to Ig in present day, and the piece of pivotal information he's just been given regarding Merrin's death, I was eager to get back to the present day and find out what would happen next. The background is necessary though; it shows us the start of Ig and Merrin's relationship, and various other relationships that become important later on. When we get back to present day, it's interesting to see how things go with knowledge of who people were in the past. And with the other flashbacks... wow. I don't really want to say much more because of spoilers, but with everything pieced together, it's seriously screwed up. With other people's flashbacks, you get their points of view, and some people are just really not at all who they seem.
Considering this, Horns does an amazing job at looking into good and evil, and also religion. Ig seems to be turning into a demon, but he's not the person who has wronged. And there are nice, good people, who turn out to be the complete opposite, and yet are thought so highly of. There is a part of the book where Ig gives a speech to some snakes (who have become enamoured by him since the horns) about God and the devil, and the supposed respective good and evil of the two. It's really thought-provoking, and as an atheist, I found it a really fascinating discussion. It's not a book that talks about devil worship or anything like that, but it does ask the questions, is God really good, is the devil really bad? The arguments are really interesting, and Ig really had me seeing where he was coming from.
I do have one problem with this book though. The ending. Once it reaches it's conclusion, and the main plot has been wrapped up, it ends really ambiguously. To the point that I was complaining to my best mate and to my mum, and "What the hell?!"-ing. I like explanations, I like to know the hows and the whys, even if the answers are non-plausible fantasy elements. I'm a fantasy fan, I'm great at suspending disbelief and just going with it. But don't just leave me hanging with no explanation whatsoever! I want to know how and why that ending was possible, and it's bugging the hell out of me that there are no answers! Seriously, I was thinking this book was amazing until that part, and now I'm left floundering with no answers. This doesn't sit well with me! It feels unfinished! Not the story, but my reading experience. I need to know, but I never will. And I am so wound up about it.
Saying that, this is maybe one or two pages of the whole book, which really is awesome! A really fantastic story, with an awesome premise, that gets you thinking. If you have no problem with ambiguous endings, I highly recommend Horns. I highly recommend it even if you do. So looking forward to watching the movie now.

Omg. I want to read this. Even if it's not horror-y (I like horror-y stuff) I want to try it because it looks dark and intriguing! AND I ALSO WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE BECAUSE HARRY POTTER.
erm. Daniel Radcliffe. heh. (I know, I know, this is shameful, but still true.)
Jo 26 July 2015 at 22:07
It is SO intriguing! And kind of disgusting and awful at the same time, but soooooo good!
Haha! I'm not a big fan of Daniel Radcliff. I don't think he was great at Harry Potter, though I went to see every movie. Still, I want to see the movie, because oooooh my god, I think it'll be good! Or I'm at least intrigued because the book was so awesome. The trailer looks amazing, though I can already see it's changed bits.

Beijing Widely Publicize AIDS Awareness on World's AIDS Day
By Luke Leung ( [email protected] ) Dec 02, 2008 03:36 PM EST Comment
A volunteer wears a sticker a red ribbon, the symbol of AIDS awareness, as Health authorities and the U.N. AIDS agency launched a campaign to fight discrimination against people with AIDS in China, at the iconic Bird's Nest national stadium grounds in Beijing, China, Sunday, Nov. 30, 2008. After years of denying that AIDS was a problem, Chinese leaders have shifted gears dramatically in recent years, confronting the disease more openly and promising anonymous testing, free treatment for the poor and a ban on discrimination against people with the virus.
Chinese Ministry of Health and U.N. AIDS agency issued a statement on Sunday, pledging to commit to the fight against stigma and discrimination towards the people with the disease, and they hung a massive red ribbon, the symbol of AIDS awareness, at the Olympic Bird's Nest stadium in Beijing, according to Associated Press.
"Stigma and discrimination are major obstacles in an effective response to AIDS," said Health Minister Chen Zhu at the event's launch in front of Bird's Nest stadium, NBC news reports. "We need to engage all sectors of society in China to combat these issues and work together to stop the disease."
Furthermore, the ministry issued a statement that said the government will strengthen efforts in education on AIDS prevention and to fight discrimination, while increasing the distribution of condom and outreach to high-risk groups such as prostitutes and homosexual men.
According to the latest nationwide survey conducted by UNAIDS, more than 48 percent of Chinese thought they could contract HIV from a mosquito bite, while 18 percent thought they could get infected if an HIV-positive person sneezed or coughed on them.
Two- thirds of respondents to the UNAIDS survey said they would not want to live with an HIV-positive person, while nearly 48 percent would be unwilling to have meals with the infected person. In a further hint of stigma, about 41 percent said they would be unwilling to work or share tools with the person who was HIV-positive, and 12 percent would not even touch a family member or relative with the infection.
In the 1990s, drug use accounted for 60-70 percent of reported infections in China, followed by unsanitary blood transfusions.
But in September of this year, the Chinese Ministry of Health announced that sexual transmission had overtaken intravenous drug use as the main cause of HIV infections in China.
In Beijing, in particular, sexual transmissions have accounted for 55 percent of cases so far this year. And from 2004 to 2007, the percentage of sex-related transmissions has risen steadily, from 24.9 percent in 2004 to 41.5 percent in 2007, according to a recent city survey.
The official estimate number of people carrying HIV in China is around 700,000 and around 85,000 people with full-blown AIDS, UNAIDS said in a statement. But the number of officially reported HIV cases remains only 264,302 — far lower than the estimated total, in part because of reluctance to seek testing.
According to Ministry of Health's report, 264,302 people have contracts the disease by the end of September. A total of 34,864 people died of AIDS so far, the ministry said.
Revealing the government's resolve to tackle the growing AIDS problem in China, Xinhua news reported, on Nov. 30, Chinese premier Wen Jiabao's visited to people living with HIV/AIDS in eastern Anhui Province, and he told a special symposium composed of AIDS experts and grassroots medical workers in Funan County that the government funds for prevention and control would increase year-by-year.
Furthermore, Chinese President Hu Jintao, who wore a crimson ribbon, visited Ditan Hospital's Red Ribbon Center that provides HIV-infected persons with services such as psychological counseling, health education and assistance in AIDS-related legal affairs. During the visit, Hu shook hands with two female HIV/AIDS patients and questioned them about their lives. This event was widely reported in Chinese medias to help remove stigma against HIV/AIDS patients.
Hu said that all levels of governments should "provide each citizen with AIDS control and prevention knowledge and offer assistance to each patient in real actions."
"We have made obvious improvements in the AIDS control and prevention campaign, but the situation remains arduous and we should spare no efforts in the work," said Chinese president.
According to the Chinese media, the China has adopted a policy of "four frees, one care" in 2003, which stands for free HIV testing, free counseling and treatment for carriers in rural regions; free medication for all pregnant HIV carriers, and free education for AIDS orphans and care for impoverished AIDS patients and elimination of AIDS-related discrimination.
Within the first nine months of 2008, over 420,000 people took the test and around 4,600 people were tested as HIV positive, Xinhua reports. As of September, China had established nearly 6,000 medical stations that provide free consultations and tests for people who might be infected. Furthermore, by the end of September, medical institutions had treated more than 54,000 AIDS patients, the country's traditional medical treatment for AIDS had been adopted in 15 provinces and more than 90 percent of the AIDS orphans had been helped to continue their studies.
Furthermore, Beijing city authorities have decided to offer free spit tests for AIDS/HIV to the local citizens. Spit tests have been used as a substitute for blood test for the purpose of determining the disease, according to Times of India.
The move came after China's ministry of Health expressed worry over rising incidence of AIDS among migrant workers, who leave their homes in distant villages to work in factories in urban areas. Migrant workers, who have shown a marked tendency towards prostitution, are known to be least likely to get themselves tested for AIDS either for want of time or money.
The free spit test, which yields results in two hours, is expected to uncover many hidden cases of AIDS, the Times reported.
Spit test is useful in the case of people who are obese or impaired access the veins. It is useful in medical centers that do not have good blood drawing facilities. This kind of test helps minimize the risk of accidental infection in blood drawing.
Xiao Dong, director of the Beijing Association of STD & AIDS Prevention and Control, said three Beijing hospitals will provide free tests using kits provided by Chaoyang Chinese AIDS Volunteer Group, a non-governmental organization.
"The Chaoyang Chinese AIDS Volunteer Group also did comparison tests on 300 college students randomly recruited and 300 patients already proven to be HIV positive. We found the accuracy was around 97%," the Chinese media quoted Xiao as saying.

Rick Warren Pays Tribute to Bush's AIDS Feat
WASHINGTON – President Bush was the center of attention and outpouring of accolades Monday as Dr. Rick Warren awarded him the first "International Medal of PEACE" on the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day for his unprecedented contribution to the fight against the deadly disease.


The Ontario Superior Court of Justice recently rendered a decision on a motion in which the father sought an order requiring the couple's child, Scarlet, to move from Toronto to live in the United Kingdom with him and attend a particular school in Cheltenham, England. Scarlet's Mom opposed the move.
Commencing in January 2012, the Barker family lived in Toronto and Scarlet attended Branksome Hall for her schooling. The parties separated in October 2015. Scarlet turned 14 on May 14, 2016.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Barker work in the academic field. In early 2015 Mr. Barker was offered the position of Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Technology at the University of Gloucestershire in Cheltenham, England, to commence in December 2015. He accepted the position and Scarlet wrote entrance exams to a number of private schools in the Cheltenham area. She was accepted at one of them.
Once the parties separated, Mrs. Barker told Mr. Barker that she would not rush into a decision about moving and would not commit as to where she and Scarlet would live after the end of the 2015/2016 school year.
The Court concluded that the issue of where Scarlet should ultimately reside was one best left for trial, but in the interim it was in Scarlet's best interests to remain in her mother's custody, and continue to live and attend school in Toronto.
Although this was not strictly a mobility case as Mr. Barker had moved to the UK over 6 months earlier with Scarlet remaining in Toronto, the Court noted that the principles set out in Gordon v. Goertz, applied with respect to the issues of custody. Ultimately the only real issue to be decided was what arrangement would be in Scarlet's best interests.
(h) the relationship by blood or through an adoption order between the child and each person who is a party to the application. 2006, c. 1, s. 3 (1); 2009, c. 11, s. 10.
Why Was it in Scarlet's Best Interests to Remain in Toronto?
Mr. Barker did not have a real and practical plan for Scarlet's living arrangements and schooling if she were to be ordered to move the the UK.
When considering a move that would impact your ability to have close contact with your child, don't assume that you will be able to get the Court's blessing to move your child as well, even if the reasons for your move are in your best interests. You must always keep the best interests of your child in mind, and the decision to uproot a child from the school and community from which she or he is familiar requires careful and thoughtful consideration.

My middle-shool age son is going to run with the cross-country team this fall and I am looking for the right shoe for him to wear. He has some VFFs but they are starting to wear. Also, he doesn't have running experience, so I am concerned if there is risk in having him start out with minimalist footwear. However, I do not want to have him run in traditional wedge-soled running shoes. I am interested in your suggestions. What do you all say?
With due respect, there is not any new or useful information on that page. Is this merely a product plug or a real attempt to offer an answer to my original question?
A link, excellent. I'll check these out too. I've heard reviews of these before .. and I believe they were reasonable. A little bit pricey, but I imagine that's pretty typical.
Hmmm, spikes. Good point. I'll have to see what his coach says about the surfaces they'll be running on. And how serious my son is going to be about running, since this is his first time out.
Thanks for the suggestions and the critiques. With only a short time time to shop around, I'll have to make a short list of the best-sounding contenders (sorted by price!) and go with what I can find. So far, Inov-8 230, Merrell Mix-Master 2, and VFF KSO Trek.
Thanks, I'll check those out. I don't know if I've seen the Inov8s around, so we'll have to find out what's available.
I wear Brooks pure grit - a trail running version of the pure connect - and they're great. For cross-country racing I agree you need spikes, but for training Inov8 has some trail shoes with lugs on the bottom for muddy conditions.
I second the Inov8 idea. I love my terraflys.
I can recommend Inov-8 and Merrel. My Son has been running XC/trails in Inov-8 230's for a couple years, and today I just bought him a pair of Merrell 'Mix Master 2's. They actually look just like Inov-8s and have a fairly flat to negative heel, decent rock protection and sticky/knobby tread. I tried on a pair myself. If you can still find them, the New Balance MT 101's are the best lightweight cross country/trail shoe made in the past few years, IMHO. They're sometimes on clearance now in limited sizes. New Balance's latest 'Minimus' line looks and feels like pure crap though.
I would suggest a pair of Inov8 shoes, I run in 195s, but if you're looking for a compromise and I know a lot of people that swear by running in the 230s.
I'm planning on buying these soon, this is a good brand and are barefoot, Zero drop.
If he's good in the VFFs, then the Nike Free or the Brooks Pure Connect are very good minimal running shoes.
If he's going to be serious he needs a pair of spikes too. Running in the mud/grass when it's wet is dangerous without spikes.
It's never a bad idea to go to a legit running store and get his stride checked out.
If he likes VFF and really needs something for off-road that can hold up to wear and tear, check out the VFF KSO Trek. They're made from kangaroo leather and very durable and comfortable. They are the 1st pair of vibrams that I bought, 2 1/2 year ago, and are still holding up. I have 2 other pair of vibrams that have since torn.
You should read this shoes about suitable shoes for cross-country http://www.upere.com/fashion/what-type-of-shoes-is-suitable-for-wearing-for-cross-country/.

Osteoporosis: the bone densitometry for diagnosis
Scritto il 7 May 2019 in News
Osteoporosis is a chronic disease, of great social importance, and is characterized by an altered bone structure with a consequent reduction in resistance to mechanical loading and an increased risk of fractures. It is estimated that in Italy 1 woman out of 3 (about 5,000,000 people) and 1 man out of 8 (about 1,000,000 people) are affected.
As Professor Gherardo Mazziotti, Head of the Research, Diagnosis and Treatment Section of Osteometabolic Diseases at Humanitas, explains: "Osteoporosis is a silent disease and the onset of symptoms corresponds to the appearance of a fracture from frailty. All skeletal districts are affected by osteoporosis and may be affected by fracture events. However, the most common fractures from frailty affect the spine, the proximal femur (neck) and the wrist.
How is the diagnosis made?
"The diagnosis involves first performing bone densitometry (DEXA or MOC), an examination that allows you to calculate bone mineral density and that is routinely assessed at the level of the lumbar spine and proximal femur. The data obtained are compared with those expected, and then express a numerical value called T-score for patients over 50 years of age and Z-score for younger subjects. Based on the T-score values, the densitometric values are defined as normal (T-score > -1 SD), in osteopenia (T-score between -1.0 SD and -2.5 SD) or in osteoporosis (T-score < -2.5 SD). In young subjects, the diagnosis of osteoporosis is based on the finding of a Z-score value equal to or less than -2.0 SD. The risk of fracture increases progressively with the reduction of T-score (the patient with osteoporosis has a greater risk of fracture than the subject with osteopenia and even more than the subject with normal T-score) or Z-score.
However, other factors may influence the risk of fracture regardless of bone mineral density values. In the case of secondary osteoporosis, for example, the patient may experience a fracture even in the absence of a densitometric diagnosis of osteoporosis. This is why it is important not only to perform the MOC-DEXA examination, but also to identify the presence of risk factors for skeletal fragility and fractures through a careful history, also with the help of a simple questionnaire.
In patients with densitometric diagnosis of osteoporosis or in those with suspected secondary osteoporosis, an X-ray of the spinal column should also be carried out in order to allow early diagnosis of vertebral fractures, which represent the most frequent complications of osteoporosis. Finally, simple blood and urine tests allow to study the calcium-phosphorus metabolism and to exclude or confirm the clinical suspicion of secondary forms of osteoporosis", underlines Professor Mazziotti.
Who should undergo MOC-DEXA?
"The examination should be prescribed to all those subjects, regardless of age, who present at least one of the following risk factors for skeletal fragility: former fractures from fragility; history of chronic diseases or therapies known to be causes of secondary osteoporosis; radiological finding of bone demineralization. For post-menopausal women, other major criteria for directing the execution of the MOC-DEXA examination are: familiarity with fractures of the femur or vertebra, menopause before the age of 45, thinness (BMI ≤ 19 Kg/m2). There are also so-called minor criteria, such as reduced calcium intake through diet, smoking and alcohol; in subjects where these elements coexist, it is advisable to perform the MOC test after the age of 60-65 years," the specialist specified.
The new Research, Diagnosis and Treatment Section of Osteo-Metabolic Diseases belonging to the Endocrinology Unit in Humanitas
Humanitas has a strong interest in osteoporosis and is preparing diagnostic-therapeutic courses devoted to the disease alongside clinical research studies. Recently, a university-led Research, Diagnosis and Treatment Section for Osteo-Metabolic Diseases has been established, for which Prof. Gherardo Mazziotti is responsible. The primary objective of the Centre is to satisfy the needs of skeletally fragile patients. To this end, there are Endocrinology clinics and diagnostic-therapeutic courses dedicated to the evaluation of patients with primary and secondary osteoporosis.

The Hole in Krispy Kreme
My wife and I flew from Kahului, Maui to Honolulu, Oahu a few months ago. Almost every Hawaiian who boarded the flight was carrying two-to-four dozen donuts from Krispy Kreme. It seems that Maui got a Krispy Kreme franchise before Oahu, so everyone who traveled to Maui was picking up the new donuts and muling them back to their families and friends on the other islands.
I thought, "Wow, that's wild word-of-mouth. Maybe I should buy some stock."
Then I did some investigation. As it turns out, the explosive growth was more of a fad than a sustainable business. The stock that went from $21 to $105 in 2000, has fallen 90% from its 2003 peak.
New CEO and turnaround specialist Steven Cooper says "You can't rely on word of mouth to keep expanding the circuit of loyal customers." Instead, you need to focus on running an efficient operation in an industry with razor-thin margins.
Efficiency and Effectiveness
Having a great product is essential to customer satisfaction, but you also have to deliver it in a cost effective manner. You can only increase sales so much. There are limits to growth; it doesn't matter if you're McDonalds or Wal-Mart. To maximize profit and sustain success, you also have to trim the waste, rework, errors, and delays that nibble away at your profit margins.
QI Macros started out from humble beginnings ten years ago. Since then, I've added endless enhancements requested by customers from all over the country in everything from health care to automotive industries. At a recent Institute for Healthcare Improvement conference, a number of fans dropped by our tradeshow booth. It felt great, but I also remember that I have to endlessly improve the QI Macros and streamline the delivery of the QI Macros. As Andy Grove of Intel fame once said: "Only the paranoid survive."
Here's my point:
It's not enough to have the most innovative new product or the best customer service, if you aren't optimizing and streamlining the delivery of that product or service to reduce the excessive costs of defects, delay, waste and rework, then your company will be in trouble when the bubble bursts or the fad fades.
It's easy to be seduced by easy success, but it takes clarity of focus to sustain that success. The U.S. economy is rising, but peaks lead to troughs. Lean Six Sigma methods and tools can help you find the lost profits in your business. Will your company be ready when the tide turns?

But these car jumps were not the biggest thing about the show that resonated with me. When this show was in its prime, I was still years from even driving a car. And the car I would start out driving was barely capable of jumping cracks in the asphalt.
So without much more thought than this, I jumped… And I accelerated to the earth below at 9.8 meters/second square… Or 32.2 feet/second square if you're too American to embrace the Metric System.
Prior to that point, I had no concept of getting the wind knocked of me… Like I didn't even know it was a thing… I gasped for air, tying to form words… ANY words… If I'd been old enough to curse, those are the words I would have chosen. But no… I had to flop around like a goldfish that jumped out of the bowl for a good 2-3 minutes before air finally returned to my lungs.
My landing point for this post instead is this… I've rarely leaped as freely as I did that day… Whether its been relationships… or career… or my faith… The world taught me I had to be cautious in these things. That I needed to move slowly and anticipate all the possible outcomes. Otherwise, I might end up hurt… flopping around on the ground, gasping for air.
But that's not how we're called to live… We're called by Christ to live with boldness… Not reckless, but also not fearful… And so I've spent the last 13 years UNLEARNING all the things my first 31 years taught me. And so I push myself out onto the ledge more frequently now & I try to give less thought to outcomes… And occasionally, gravity still wins… But quite often, it does not… And the bad guys get caught!


chapter 3 : Boys who journeyed to Rome | Light and Shadow: Christian History, Resurrected. Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region.
In the 16th century, four boys who studied in the seminary of Arima left for Europe. For this enormous project, what expectations and how much responsibility did they carry with them?
They were given enthusiastic welcomes in many European cities, and have accomplished great feats, such as meeting the Pope and bringing back a letterpress printing machine. However, when they came back after the voyage that took eight and a half years, Japan was unfortunately in the era of anti-Christianity.
In 1582, one Portuguese ship departed from Nagasaki Seaport. In the ship were four boys and a Jesuit missionary, Father Valignano. They were called the "Tensho Mission", the first Japanese group to visit Europe. Their purposes were to meet the Pope and the kings of both Spain and Portugal to ask them for missionary activity support and also to allow them to really feel the greatness of Christianity in European countries. They hoped that this experience would help them spread Christianity in Japan.
The four boys who were given these great responsibilities were Mancio Ito, Miguel Chijiwa, Juliao Nakaura and Martinao Hara, as proxies of the Christian daimyos in Kyushuu, Harunobu Arima, Sumitada Omura and Sorin Otomo. The promising young men had received an education in subjects such as Christianity, geography, astronomy, Western music and Latin. However, it did not change the fact that they were only 13 or 14 years old. They must have felt very anxious during that great and dangerous voyage.
As expected, the voyage was very tough because they had to go through a turbulent storm in the Indian Ocean, and they also experienced serious febrile illness in the tropics. It was in August, 1584, two and a half years after their departure, when they finally arrived in Lisbon, Portugal after a long voyage via India and the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. Their visit was a surprising, yet welcome one for they were warmly accepted by not only Phillip II, but also kings and feudal lords of the places they visited. When the boys first met them, they behaved intellectually, and the Europeans were instilled with a sense of admiration for them. After that, the group entered Rome where they went to meet the Pope, Gregorius XIII.
The boys met the Pope at St. Peter's Basilica. Just then, the congregation of the cardinals was being held, so it was as if they were welcoming a royal delegacy. The Pope was 83 years old, but he was very glad to see visitors from Japan, and he hugged each one of them. Without doubt, it must have been the happiest moment ever for the boys.
Due to a high fever, Juliao Nakaura was not able to meet the Pope. However, the Pope, worried about him, went to the trouble of taking a carriage all the way to see Juliao in person. Soon after that Pope Gregorius XIII passed away, and Sixtus V was chosen to be the new Pope. In Rome, there was a coronation parade, in which the boys took part.
After successfully completing their mission, the boys departed Rome and began the trip back to Japan. However, wherever they stopped, they were welcomed very passionately. Father Valignano's purpose in undertaking the Tensho Mission, to make Japan known in Europe, was successfully accomplished.
On April 12, 1586, the Tensho Mission finally departed from Lisbon, Portugal. On the way back, there were some accidents, such as the mainmast of their ship breaking due to strong winds. They overcame such troubles, reunited with Father Valignano who had become the viceroy in Goa, India, and then continued on their voyage. Then, they arrived in the Nagasaki Seaport in July, 1590. Their eight-and-a-half-year-long trip had finally ended with their return to Japan.
At this time, Sumitada Omura and Sorin Otomo, who dispatched the mission, had passed away and Harunobu Arima was the only one left alive. Upon the four boys' return, they were warmly welcomed by Harunobu and in the following year, they met Hideyoshi Toyotomi at Jurakudai, in Osaka. Hideyoshi was so glad to hear the Western music that the boys performed, he called for many encores. Nevertheless, suppression of Christianity later became accelerated and their glory too was destined to fade away.
For Japan at that time, sending the Tensho Mission was a grand project. There is an opinion that the dispatch of the boys was not directed mainly by the Christian daimyos, but arbitrarily by the missionary, Father Valignano. Nonetheless, its historical value does not fade. Introducing Japan to Europe, and furthermore, bringing a letterpress printing machine and advanced Western technologies and cultures back to Japan…boys, who at the time of their departure were only 13 or 14 years old, from a seminary in Arima accomplished these feats.
The accomplishments of the four boys in Europe, have been recorded in a tremendous number of books and leaflets published in Europe. It has been 400 years, but there are still historical records being discovered even now, which indicates how great an impact they must have had. The narrative of the boys' voyage forever calls to us over the ocean and time of history.

What will the new server name be?
Right now, the server has one name. news.mozilla.org This is meant as a replacement for the old server, so the old name is used.
Do I have to be a Giganews customer to access the new newsgroups?
Will public access still be free?
Do I have to register or provide credit card info to access the new newsgroups?
No and yes. The new groups will not be propagated to usenet, but there will be one feed going to Google, where Google will provide read-only access. There has been some recent discussion about allowing posting via Google Groups, so that might change.
Does that mean I should be able to access the groups through my ISP's news server?
No. You won't be able to access the new newsgroups through your ISP's news server.
Will the new newsgroups require a secure connection?
What are the names of the new newsgroups?
Where can I find detailed instructions on how to access the server?
I've create a list of instructional pages, listed by newsreader.
Will the new server also carry the netscape.public.mozilla* newsgroups?
During the transition period: yes. One side affect of redirecting the server to Giganews before the newsgroup transition is that the article sequence numbers won't match between the news server at AOL and the Giganews server. This means that you will have a wrong count of which messages are read. (Most likely, all messages will be marked as read, as well as many new ones after that.) It would be best to re-subscribe to your current netscape.public.mozilla.* newsgroups.
Will the new newsgroups be bi-directionally mirrored on mailing lists?
Yes. Lists will be at the domain lists.mozilla.org, and a hyphen will be used in place of periods, when replicating a newsgroup name. The 'mozilla' portion of the list name is also dropped. For example, for the newsgroup mozilla.support.firefox, the list will be support-firefox@lists.mozilla.org.
What is the retention of the new server?
Does the new server honour message cancels?
Does the new server filter binaries in text groups?
Yes. Messages with binary attachments, such as images (screenshots), will be filtered, and will not appear in the newsgroups. Files that can be viewed and edited using a text editor will not be filtered. These include: TXT, CSS, and ICS files, vCards, PGP (inline) or GPG signatures, and HTML posts.
S/MIME signatures are also allowed.
Does the new server support XPAT searches?
No. This means that in Thunderbird, using 'Edit-->Find-->Search Messages' will not work. The same goes for 'Tools-->Search Messages' in SeaMonkey. For more info, see Bug 147884. Using the Search bar, or switching to offline mode before going to "Search Messages" will work.
Are there any posting rules/guidelines?
Will the Mozilla Foundation have the ability to remove/create more groups?
Will the new newsgroups be moderated?
Posting messages will not require approval, but the Mozilla Foundation can remove messages.
Will the Mozilla Champions be moderators of the new support newsgroups?
Will the moderators close threads with a high amount of OT discussion?
Right now, there are no plans to close threads. The Mozilla Foundation is approaching the new groups and moderation, with a "Let's see if we need it first" philosophy.
Will OT discussion be appropriate in the new support groups?
No. Off-topic discussion not taken to private email, mozilla.general, or any place where it is not considered off-topic, by someone who knows they should be taking it elsewhere, is eligible for removal from the news server.
What will become of the netscape.mozilla.* user support newsgroups on secnews.netscape.com?
Those groups were created as an interim solution. Hopefully the traffic there will move on to news.mozilla.org.
Nothing will change on the AOL server.
Is Giganews charging the Mozilla Foundation for this service?
No; Giganews is donating use of their news servers to the Mozilla Foundation, in exchange for a sponsorship credit.
File a bug in bugzilla.mozilla.org. Server issues should be filed in the Server Operations component of the mozilla.org product. Newsgroup issues having to do with adding/removing/renaming newsgroups go in the Discussion Forums component.
Bug 326759 - mozilla.* newsgroups are leaking.
