Second Bioethics Watchdog Says New Human Cloning Technique is Hype

Second Bioethics Watchdog Says New Human Cloning Technique is Hype Email this article
by Steven Ertelt
LifeNews.com Editor
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — A second bioethics watchdog has told LifeNews.com that claims the new announcement of a supposedly easier method of human cloning is hogwash. Yesterday, mainstream media outlets in Britain and the U.S. trumpeted a supposedly new method of making human or animal clones.
The media reports claim the new technique is safer than the one used with Dolly the sheep, that resulted in hundreds of dead embryos and its euthanasia.
Scientists made chimeras by injecting an iPS cell into an existing mouse embryo to create a so-called "tetraploid" embryo.
Two one-cell mouse embryos are fused together to make a single cell and then the iPS cell is surrounded by "tetraploid" cells in a mixture that reforms an embryo structure.
American-based Advanced Cell Technology representative Robert Lanza responded to the new technique saying it is "unethical and unsafe" and making it appear there is a problem with research using iPS cells.
He also said the use of iPS cells makes human cloning an easier process.
Dr. David Prentice of the Family Research Council disputes the claim the process is either new or somehow easier than the somatic cell nuclear transfer cloning method used to clone Dolly.
"I got to thinking about Lanza's hype claim that iPS cells make cloning and chimeras more likely, or easier," Prentice, a former Indiana State University biology professor, said. "So I went back to the [original] iPSC papers and checked their numbers for mice."
"The short answer is that it's no easier to clone mice using tetraploids than it is using somatic cell nuclear transfer," he told LifeNews.com.
Prentice, who holds a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Kansas, says the latest news only confirms the ability of the ethical iPS cells to be used in the same way as embryonic ones.
"All this highlights is that an iPSC, like any embryonic stem cell, can be re-integrated into an embryo," he said. "The technology has been around for many years, and is routinely used to make transgenic mice. But it's not efficient.
Despite the "new" cloning process, Prentice says it presents the same concerns for pro-life advocates as using the SCNT method — that resulted in so many deaths creating Dolly and concluded with her euthanasia.
"Doing these techniques would require manipulating and destroying existing embryos," he said.
Bioethicist Wesley J. Smith criticized other comments Lanza made that attempted to undermine support for the IPS cells — hailed by pro-life advocates as an ethical alternative to embryonic stem cell research.
He said Lanza did so because his company is heavily invested in human cloning and embryonic stem cell research and iPS cells are a competitive threat.
"And it turns out this is an attempt to undermine support for iPS cells –perhaps because ACT has a big stake in cloning and embryonic stem cell research — by planting seeds of fear that they will lead to easier reproductive cloning," Smith explained.
"This story is merely yet another example of the press letting Lanza and ACT promote their own PR agendas for their own purposes," he said.
Smith says the solution to the problem of this supposedly new cloning process being used is easy — support a ban on all forms of human cloning. However, Lanza's firm is one of the biggest opponents of a human cloning ban in the U.S.
"So, let's not fall for his scheme," Smith concludes. "IPSC research needs to proceed with our full support."


The more natural I go with skin care, the more natural I go with everything I put on my body. My latest green switch is nail care. I am a big fan of painted nails.
I was watching a rerun of my favorite guilty pleasure, Gilmore Girls, and Lorelai's nails were painted this great fire-engine red. I ran to my bathroom, got my fave O.P.I. red and started to paint. Then, I noticed the smell. My husband has what we like to call "dog nose." This affliction causes him to smell things more deeply and strongly than the rest of us. Problem is, I seem to have contracted it as well, and the nail polish was seriously making me feel like I was going to lose my lunch. And the kicker? It wouldn't dry. Ever. I think it was the rain.
Whatever the cause, after four hours trying to dry in the evening and a sleepless night spent with my nails sticking to my flannel sheets, I got up and removed the perfect red that was now all smudged and still not dry. The lacquer and formaldehyde smell stuck with me through the night and my nails felt a little bit like someone was trying to peel them off.
I've been more aware of healthier lacquer since I attended the Women In Green Forum, but would non-toxic colors really last? Would they come in the shades I like? Would plain old alcohol really remove them? I finally felt like I had the impetus to get over my fears and truly make the switch.
These three have been linked to problems ranging from skin irritation in people to birth defects in animals.
1. Piggy Paint, non-toxic, odorless, kid-friendly, kid-colored, water-based formula.
2. Honeybee Gardens, an alternative to solvent-based nail polish, water-based, odorless, removes with rubbing alcohol.
3. No-Miss, does not contain the three-to-avoid above, and also does not contain camphor.
4. Acquarella, water-based system of nail polish, conditioner, remover and moisturizer.
5. Suncoat, water-based nail polish that has been recognized and honored from the Canadian Health Food Association Expo.
6. Gaiam, Created by New York City's first organic spa, this non toxic nail polish is free of known carcinogens.
7. Peacekeeper Cause-Metics, created by the Environmental Working Group as the safest paint-based natural nail polish.
8. Benecos, created without the use of formaldehydes, toluene, camphor, phthalates or formaldehyde.
9. Nubar, carcinogen-free nail care products.
10. Safe Nail Polish, non-toxic, oderless, made in the USA.
11. Priti, non-toxic, made without the evil-three and all known carcinogenic ingredients.
12. Spa Ritual, vegan nail lacquers.
Having done my research, I was eager to try some out! I looked at several of the brands for the colors I wanted: fire-engine red; palest of pinks like you'd use for a french manicure; and dark purple-almost black, but not true black. I found what I thought I was looking for at Honeybee Gardens online, and ordered all three colors. Once delivered, the only one that was what I wanted was the light pink, but I saved the other two to give as gifts. I found the red I was looking for by No-Miss in the RWC Whole Foods, and am still on the lookout for the not-quite-black. I recommend buying polish you can see in the store, online photos and different computer screens make it difficult to tell what color you're really getting.
So how well does the polish hold up and does it really come off with just rubbing alcohol? Fabulously well! And Yes! I gave myself a full mani-pedi on Sunday, and had to remove the last of the pink polish. I used plain old generic rubbing alcohol, probably from Walgreen's, and cotton swabs (once my bag of swabs is done, I will switch to using cotton rags in stead of disposable cotton balls). I had to rub a little longer to remove all the polish, but there was no stink! Honeybee Gardens and No-Miss both state they are fragrance-free and while they do have a slight odor, it is insignificant and doesn't smell like toxic paint.
As for the staying power, I have a chip on one nail, but I've done dishes, washed a car and moved some furniture since Sunday and I'm impressed with how great the paint looks and stays on. I'm a convert for sure.
I was wondering about the vynal nails that some company's sale...are they toxic or not? In the picture you have the woman looks like she has those on. So made me think about those. I used to use those.
oops sorry I meant I have seen some in health food stores.


3 Powerful Ways Social Media Can Improve Your Customer Experience.
We buy goods and services online via ads served to us on Instagram. We share photos and reviews of what we consume on Facebook. And we complain to brands on Twitter.
Even though social media is ingrained in our lives as consumers, there's still a way to go for businesses who want to capitalise on its power. One reason they find this difficult is that they view social media as 'marketing communications' and separate from customer experience and customer service.
Here are 3 ways you can integrate your thinking – and enhance your efforts in both areas.
It's easier than ever for customers – in both the B2B and B2C worlds – to let brands know what they think. As such, 92% of customers will call you out if they receive poor customer service – and 67% will do so publicly on social media.
Consumers have increasingly realised that the fastest way to resolve an issue is to contact you via Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. A quick acknowledgement – even if it's just to let someone know you're on the case or to direct them to a more appropriate channel – goes a long way towards diffusing a situation. Similarly, thanking people for positive feedback is an easy way to foster loyalty and reinforce the stellar impression you've made.
When used correctly, therefore, social media can be a powerful way to close customer service gaps, streamline response handling and boost the overall experience you offer.
Social media makes it easier to talk to your customers. It also makes it easier to listen to them.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that social starts and ends with complaints management. It also gives you a huge source of data. With social listening and analytics, you can see who your customers are, what they want, why they want it and how they want to get it.
You can then use this insight – and the specific stories – to inform your marketing personas, develop your campaigns and shape your customer experience strategies.
For as long as brands have been using social media, they've been stumped by how to measure it. Traditional metrics (likes, follows and shares) might feel good, but they're ultimately meaningless unless you can link them to outcomes.
That's where the synergy with customer experience becomes invaluable.
A high engagement rate, for example, indicates you have a loyal, active base of customers – and engaged customers are more likely to buy from you. Hashtag usage tells your customers are responding to and engaging with your campaigns. And every comment is a valuable piece of feedback you can use for continuous improvement.
Ultimately, when used correctly, social media can be a powerful way to engage with your customers, gather data to inform strategy and improve your customer experience.

The chance to follow my passions is priceless!
Meet Tamara! She left a corporate sales career to join her family's business. Although Tamara loves working as a small business owner, she knew her income would take a hit. Fortunately, she found and partnered with Moms Making Six Figures. Read on to learn about how the residual income from Moms Making Six Figures has impacted Tamara's life.
My passion in life has always been helping others. I love working and my job has been a major part of my identity. Throughout my twenties, I worked in the field of education and social work. I worked with troubled teens, initially. After receiving my master's degree in Social Work, I taught in special education elementary classrooms. While I absolutely loved working with these kids and their families, the hours and low pay soon began to wear on me. I eventually was presented with an opportunity in food and wine distribution sales and I jumped at the opportunity to try something new. While I didn't consider myself a "salesy" person, I excelled and began to climb into better positions and territories. I truly didn't feel like I was selling anything. I was fortunate enough to represent some amazing wines that I believed in and I just wanted to share with my accounts. My enthusiasm and passion translated to sales, I also loved the financial and lifestyle benefits. There was enough flexibility that I could spend some time with my two kids in the mornings and I was making enough money to do the things we enjoyed as a family.
Nearly fifteen years later, the family owned distribution company I worked for was purchased by a larger corporate entity. As it normally goes in these sorts of buy outs, changes started happening and I began to feel despair at the direction the company was going and didn't feel I had any viable options. The corporate way of life did not fit my personality and I was starting to feel desperate for a way out. My parents had started a small winery that I was very eager to be more involved with, however, they couldn't pay me the salary I needed to support my family. I could not figure out a way to balance my goals and dreams with my financial needs. Then a friend introduced me to Moms Making Six Figures. I suddenly had hope that I could find a way to help others, financially support myself and my two sons and be in control of my life.
Was it a hard decision to leave your corporate sales career to work in the family business?
When the time came to make the decision to leave my well-paid job and jump into the risky world of small business ownership, I was extremely nervous. My family and I had a long discussion about the direction we were going to take the vineyard and winery and we were able to carve out a small salary for me to help in that growth. Truly, the only way I was able to consider taking such a huge pay cut was because of the potential of growth with my business with the Moms team.
The sacrifices I was making working in the corporate world were significant. It was very difficult for me to take time away from my family. Under the new ownership, I had to change my perspective from one of helping my customers grow and work as a team with my suppliers to one of hitting the bottom line numbers, despite everything. The combination of growing a family business for my children's future and working with the supportive team at Moms to help others was a winning combo for me. Yes, I still make sacrifices and my budget is much tighter than it used to be, but the time freedom and the chance to follow my passions is priceless.
What is your long-term goal in partnering with Moms Making Six Figures?
When I first partnered with Moms, I wasn't sure if it would be very part time or if I would push hard to replace my corporate, nearly six figure income. One of the things I love most about my business with Moms is that I can structure it to fit in completely with my schedule and needs of my other small businesses. After 1 ½ years of part time work with Moms Making Six Figures, I was able to earn enough residual income to allow me to leave the corporate world. I was able to start working with my family's business and find the balance that I so desperately wanted. I am not only working with my family winery, but also creating another small, local business that also focuses on helping others. I continue to have a steady residual stream of income that I can rely upon every month and when things are slow with my other businesses, I can spend more time growing with the Moms team to increase my income. It's crazy how flexible it is! I have never heard of another part time job that can adjust to meet all kinds of needs.
When I sit back and look at my story, I realize how significant it was that I was introduced to Heidi and the whole Moms team. If I didn't have this business, there is no way I would be able to pursue my other passions. The whole gig economy is so popular now because people want to have a chance to be flexible and still earn an income, but with those sorts of jobs you are trading hours for dollars. We only have so much time in the day and when you are building a small business those hours slip away quickly. My Moms income is building, and it is building as residual income that continues to grow even though I continue to work only part time. If I carve out 10-15 hours per week consistently, my income continues to grow. This has allowed me plenty of time to work on my other businesses, providing multiple streams of income.
My life is currently a complex puzzle of a lot of moving pieces, but each of those pieces are rich, beautiful parts of my life. I am surrounded by friends, family and business partners whom I love dearly. Every day, regardless of the business that I am focusing on now, is a chance to make the world a better place. I help people. I focus on helping our environment, I make my community stronger and I am having fun doing it! I count my blessings every day and focus on gratitude for the opportunities presented to me. My family's future is bright, and I am delighted that I have chosen this path.
Finding your right career path!

WESTERN ARMENIAN 1
Western Armenian 1 starts on Monday 6 July 2015 and ends on Thursday 30 July 2015. This course consists of five and a quarter hours of teaching time per day, from Monday to Friday. The total teaching hours are 100.
Western Armenian 1 is designed for beginners. It will provide students with the essential tools for using language. This course covers the four main areas of language acquisition: reading, writing, speaking and listening. It lays the foundations of language by teaching at a slow but steady pace the basics of Western Armenian. The course consists of four phases:
Students will become familiar with:
the Armenian script (lower and upper cases, handwritten and printed versions);
pronunciation, coupled with reading;
use of the verbs 'to be' and 'to have' (in the present and future tenses, in the
interrogative, affirmative and negative);
basic grammar (such as plurals and definite and indefinite articles).
In this phase students will acquire basic language knowledge of:
numbers, days of the week, months of the year;
countries, languages, citizens and their adjectives;
the use of 'what', 'who', 'when' and 'where' in questions with the verb 'to be';
the use of 'there is / are' in interrogative, affirmative and negative sentences;
greetings and giving one's age.
At this stage students will be exposed to more sophisticated grammatical structures, such as:
demonstrative and possessive adjectives and pronouns;
prepositions;
forming words with prefixes and suffixes;
auxiliary verbs such as 'is / are needed', 'must' and 'need to'.
This phase covers:
the conjugation of verbs in present, present continuous and future tenses, including irregular verbs;
the declension of nouns and a basic knowledge of the function of cases;
the formation of compound nouns;
the composition of simple sentences.
All grammatical explanations will be consolidated with numerous exercises. In all phases students will build and broaden their basic knowledge of vocabulary, and they will be exposed to basic texts.
The completion of this curriculum is contingent upon students' commitment and their classroom performance.
At the end of this course, students should be able to express simple ideas, wishes, and thoughts on a variety of topics. They should be able to engage in simple conversations with native speakers, write simple sentences and read basic texts.
Western Armenian 2 starts on Monday 3 August 2015 and ends on Thursday 27 August 2015. This course consists of five and a quarter hours of teaching time per day, from Monday to Friday. The total teaching hours are 100.
Western Armenian 2 is for students who have prior basic knowledge of the language (see the course description of Western Armenian 1). This course is designed to build on what students have learned at the beginner's level. It covers many aspects of grammar to take students to a reasonable level of competence in reading, writing and speaking. This course consists of four phases:
This phase revises the grammar of Western Armenian 1, including:
conjugating present and future tenses, including irregular verbs;
the plurals of nouns; definite and indefinite articles;
different types of declension;
the formation of words with prefixes, suffixes and of compound nouns;
broadening vocabulary, as well as speaking and listening tasks.
At this stage students will expand their grammatical knowledge and vocabulary base. The main highlight will be tackling the simple past tense and its irregular forms. The function of the genitive-dative, ablative and instrumental cases will be taught, as well as spelling rules and other grammatical features.
This phase comprises:
the imperfect past;
types of the verb (transitive, intransitive and passive);
the conjugation of passive verbs;
the function of nominative and accusative cases
other grammatical features, such as comparatives and superlatives.
In this last phase students will become familiar with a new set of grammatical 3
features, including:
a foretaste of the Armenian equivalents of the present and past perfect tenses;
the imperative mood;
punctuation;
other grammatical features.
All grammatical explanations will be consolidated with numerous exercises. In all phases students will build and broaden their basic knowledge of vocabulary, and they will be exposed to reasonably challenging texts. Students also will be asked to write very short essays on variety of topics.
The completion of this curriculum is contingent upon students and their classroom performance.
At the end of this course, students should be able to express reasonably sophisticated ideas, wishes, and thoughts on a variety of topics. They should be able to engage in conversations with native speakers on most topics relating to daily life, to write sentences of reasonable complexity on the same themes and to read the kind of texts available in newspapers, etc.
COURSE VENUE
The courses will take place in Muswell Hill in London. Muswell Hill is one of the most sought after places in London, just 40 minutes by bus or 30 minutes journey by bus and underground to central London. Muswell Hill is also one of the safest neighbourhoods to stay in, with a range of cafés, restaurants, shops, supermarkets and green spaces.
Classes will be held in North Bank, a Victorian villa in beautiful landscaped grounds on Pages Lane. The villa is fully equipped with teaching equipment, WiFi, and a modern kitchen. This is level access to the garden and a lift to all floors.
LONDON IN THE SUMMER
The English literary figure Samuel Johnson famously said that 'when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.' The city is a meeting point of cultures and subcultures, and is a particularly vibrant place to be in the summer.
Muswell Hill borders a number of London hubs, each with their own unique atmosphere:
 Green Lanes (15 minutes by bus) is a great place to experience world-class Anatolian food.
 Camden (30 minutes by bus and underground) is a great place to visit for its markets and street food in the daytime and its bars and clubs at night.
 Islington (35 minutes by bus and underground) is a beautiful neighbourhood for shopping (especially bookshops) and eating out.
 Bloomsbury (40 minutes by bus and underground) is home to the British Museum, Wellcome Collection and the British Library. London is renowned for offering free entry to most of its museums and galleries.
To begin exploring things to see and do in London, visit the Time Out London website. The Transport for London website is a useful place to calculate journey times.
The Programme of Armenian Studies has an accommodation arrangement with the Guy Chester Centre in Muswell Hill. Five rooms for the July course and five for the August course are allocated to the Programme of Armenian Studies. There are different types of room available at different prices, which include breakfast and dinner, and on Saturdays and Sundays lunches as well.
Students may of course make their own accommodation arrangements, in which case they should bear in mind travel time in order to be punctual for classes.
The accommodation arrangements and payment should be made between students and the Chester Centre, which will not include the tuition fees. The Programme of Armenian Studies is not responsible for accommodation arrangements between students and the Guy Chester Centre. We will try to help to make the stay of students as easy as possible, but the ultimate responsibility lies with students.
The Guy Chester Centre provides a safe environment congenial for studying as well as relaxing. For accommodation details and term and conditions you can visit www.chestercentre.org.uk.
Students of all ages 18 or over are welcome on the courses. The Guy Chester Centre has a policy of not accommodating under-18s. The majority of residents are aged 18 to 25. If you are aged 25 to 30 you may only be offered en-suite accommodation for the duration of your stay. For applicants aged above 30 each is assessed on a case- by-case basis.
ACCOMMODATION: CHECK-IN & CHECK-OUT
It is up to students to decide the date of their arrival and departure. However, the Guy Chester Centre has a clear policy regarding arrival and departure dates. Check- in is on Sundays from noon to 6pm and check-out is on Fridays before 10am. Students have to make appropriate arrangements to comply with this timetable. The check-in and check-out dates either side of the course are therefore:
Arrival: Sundays from noon to 6pm
Course starts: Monday 6 July 2015
Course ends: Thursday 30 July 2015
Departure: Fridays before 10am
Course starts: Monday 3 August 2015
Course ends: Thursday 27 August 2015
Departure: Fridays 2015 before 10am
ACCOMMODATION COSTS
For a period of stay of 33 nights, the prices are:
Single hall of residence room: £1010.91
Single en-suite room: £1389.32
The length of stay is flexible; please contact Guy Chester House for a quote. See also the Special offer on page 8 for students who wish to take both Western Armenian 1 and Western Armenian 2.
TUITION FEES AND PAYMENT
The tuition fees for either course is £1000, which includes administrative costs as well as learning materials. This fee does not include airfare or any other travel expenses. The payment should be made by bank transaction.
The full payments must be completed by Friday 29 May 2015. The closer the summer draws, the smaller the chance of making a booking in Guy Chester Centre. Therefore, book your places as soon as possible. Since this course is a pilot project there are limited places.
A number of full scholarships are available to cover students' tuition fees. These are awarded as short-term Armenian Studies scholarships by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. The deadline for scholarship applications is Friday 15 May 2015. For details, please contact Dr Krikor Moskofian.
Once the tuition fees are paid they will not be refunded. Only in serious circumstances (family bereavement, serious illness or accidents, unsuccessful visa application) will a partial refund be considered. For administrative costs £250 will be retained.
Before proceeding with any travelling arrangement students must consult their local British consulates for the type of visa they need. This also applies to students whose home countries do not require visa clearance as a tourist but who might need special visas for other kinds of activity in the UK. This does not apply to EU citizens.
After the tuition fees are paid in full to the Programme of Armenian Studies and accommodation fees to the Guy Chester Centre, visa letters will be issued in support of your visa application. If your visa application is not successful the paid tuition fees will be refunded. However, there will be an administrative charge of £250.
COURSE ATTENDANCE POLICY
It is expected that students attend the lessons regularly. Not doing so will affect the 8
smooth running of the course and will create a gap of knowledge between absentees and attendees. This will hold back the rest of the class. If students regularly fail to attend lessons they will be asked to discontinue the course. In this case there will be no refund. This course should not be perceived as a tourist package.
Developing knowledge of contemporary Armenian issues is also part of this course. Every Wednesday a scholarly lecture will be organised on different topics ranging from politics to religion. These lectures will be delivered by prominent academics and are offered for free by the Programme of Armenian Studies (i.e. they do not form part of the course fees).
After a long week of learning, weekends are a time for students to chill out. The Programme of Armenian Studies will organise tours in and around London for students. The fees for these tours are not included in the tuition fees. It should be stressed that they are optional, and the students who participate in these activities will have to pay additionally.
The Programme of Armenian Studies and the Guy Chester Centre have a special offer for all those who take both Western Armenian 1 and Western Armenian 2 courses successively. The tuition fees for the two courses together will be £1800.
A similar concession will be offered for accommodation by the Guy Chester Centre for those who have stayed for Western Armenian 1 and decide to extend their stay for Western Armenian 2. The cost of the accommodation for an additional 35 nights will be reduced to:
Single hall of residence room: £855.05
Single en-suite rooms: £1121.40
STUDENTS BASED IN LONDON
Londoners who would like to attend this course and would like to opt out of the accommodation offer, can do so provided they attend the class punctually and regularly. Repeated lateness and absences will result in expulsion from the course, in which case there will be no refund.
It is highly advisable to buy travel insurance, which also includes health insurance.
At the end of the course certificates will be issued for students, in which the attendance record of the student will be stated.
Please direct any questions to the course director, Dr Krikor Moskofian, at k.moskofian@progarmstud.org.uk or moskofiank@hotmail.co.uk

The Centenary of the Genocide of the Armenians by the Ottoman Turks - by Professor Hovhanness I. Pilikian
Creative Minds of the World, Unite Against Genocide
– Fight Genocide by Being Creative –
· Editorial Warning: Professor Pilikian is engaged in writing a series, re-thinking the problems of the attempted Genocide on the Armenians in 1915. The Professor's socio-political analyses are radical and innovative. You will not find here the tired old refrains of "the Turks killed us" type... but ideas that may shock you out of your wits, but force you to re-think and grasp the complexities of the modern world anew – as such, a most original intellectual contribution to the Armenian centenary.
It was a monumental miracle, and a massive slap in the face of the Turkish genocide DEVELOPERS; my own parents, Israel Pilikian & Tefarik Der-Arsenian (with the rarest of Armenian names), as children survived the horrendous insufferable evil of all time. All the survivors were indeed Saints – because they were totally innocent of any crime. Thank God someone of the Armenian Orthodox Church had the brilliant idea of sanctifying them (as they do it in the Catholic Church), declaring them Saints ceremoniously and ritually.
The genocide of us, Armenians, symbolically was literally Christ's Crucifixion all over again, Christ the most innocent person on Earth was sacrificed, being One, but being all, as a whole innocent nation-people.
Genocide is not only a single huge act perpetrated against a nation – that it is; but there are also 'little' genocidal acts, no less evil, against minorities and insignificant numbers of people going on all the time in ordinary societies everywhere. There can be no hierarchy of Evil, by definition. The socio-economic system of Capitalism itself is destroying lives through global mass-poverty, the whole planet through pollution, deforestation (for multi-national logging-companies), but also individually, in Greece, Spain, Cyprus, Portugal, through Banking crises; I myself had a high-status cheque-book account in one of the biggest banks in Britain, with £1,000 pounds Overdraft facility (I could borrow that amount of money instantly for any reason), and I just discovered that today the bank has charged me that amount of money even though my account is in credit, meaning I have paid all my past debts to the Bank – but they are still charging me backwards illegally.
Should I go to Court to claim back their genocidal robbery?
How can I, when the whole British Judicial system is corrupt like rotten eggs – they drove the Russian oligarch Berezovsky to suicide, and they chased Mr. Fayed, owner of the Harrods, father of Dodi, the late Princess Diana's lover, and one of the greatest benefactors of the British economy ... out of Britain, never to return!
I appeal to all the creative minds of the globe – On this centenary year of the genocide of the Armenians in 1915 by the Young Turk regime of the Ottoman Empire, CREATIVE ARTISTS & SCIENTISTS, UNITE. I shall offer a humble Song (at the end).
There is no hope of genocidally corrupt politicians, interested only in stuffing their bank accounts with dollars and Euros, skinning alive their constituents, with rip-off prices – last year a pizza in London cost £9 pounds (already nine hundred % more than it should cost at £1), and you could buy one, and get one free.
Today, at the mercy of capitalist globalization (caution; the word is a specific technical economic term meaning 'the spread of the capitalist economic system throughout the world', not as most 'experts' misunderstand it as an adjective for the global spread of something, anything!) the same pizza-make (without any improvements on content) costs £32 pounds (and not even one free).
There are vast numbers of the poor in Britain – those who are forced by the ruthless British government to degrade themselves, by proving their poverty bureaucratically with shameful starvation documents, are given no more than ... tinned foods – mostly baked beans, from food-banks. The poor are thus moreover abused by the British government coinage of the "Bank" in the "Food-bank", as a free marketing trick, to delude the recipients with the fond idea that their food comes from a ... Bank, which are endlessly proven to be run by New York and City of London bank-robbers!
British students that long for University Education are forced into the genocidal slavery of Bank-debt – ready fodder for the mafia-capitalist economy that thrives on robbing people of their savings. In the last five years of the banking crisis, when the British State Bank reduced interest rates for a disgraceful joke to a laughable 0.01% on Savings, it permitted the banks to steal by raking in £200 (not million, but) billion pounds of people's money!
The rich pay no penny tax, while the part-time lumpen-proletariat, immigrant cheap-labour slaves are drained of their taxes at source, before even seeing a penny of their genocidal minimal wage at £6.50 an hour, less than a bloody pizza.
The Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, the Leader of the Liberal Party, was guilty of impoverishing millions of students and their parents, by introducing University student fees, when he had promised on his electoral leaflets that he would never contemplate such a genocidal act, and immediately after an official gay marriage fantasy with David Cameron, the leader of the Conservative party on the lawns of 10 Downing street back gardens, perpetrated the tuition-fee horror, creating a whole new generation of part-time student-prostitution. Mr. Clegg's own wife "earns a huge salary with a law firm that helps the rich avoid tax. His dad is chairman of a bank with ties to a tax haven. No wonder Clegg has gone quiet on tax dodging" (these are still only the large type-face headlines of a two page article in the Daily Mail, February 28, 2015, pp. 26-7).
The left-overs of the proletariat Mrs Thatcher, an English white woman Prime Minister who, it turns out (only nowadays, after several decades of official cover-ups) had surrounded herself with government-approved paedophiles, a bosom friend with a notorious clown with the looks of a blonde BBC devil called Jimmy Saville (Google the ugly rapist), Saville we know now, too late – the devil is dead, thank god – although his BBC bosses and everybody else in the entertainment world knew it all along that he had abused more than 400 children...
The task of investigating the child-rapists from the time of Mrs Thatcher (who was given a State-funeral last year) and of course can no more be blamed for the massive "scale of the task facing detectives, consuming a huge amount of resources" trying to investigate the evil genocidal perverts (an article in the Daily Mail March 9, 2015, p.21) headlined, "1,000 quizzed already in sex abuse inquires, Detectives raid homes of Leon Brittan (Mrs. Thatcher minister, Britain's Representative at the council of Europe for over two decades – Prof HIP) and ex-head of the Army ... the overarching Met[ropolitan Police] inquiry ... was triggered in 2012 when MP Tom Watson called for police to look again at allegations of a 'powerful paedophile network linked to Parliament and No. 10".
Commonly known as Mrs. T, who genocided the British Trade-Union movement, following an agenda of wiping it out of British history – what the Young Turk genociders had attempted to do to the Armenian people, wipe them out of history – was given the details of Liberal MP Cyril Smith's child-rapist's genocidal "crimes in 1988, in a secret briefing. Last night, Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk, who exposed Smith last year said: 'Margaret Thatcher turned a blind eye to known paedophiles'" (Daily Mail, as above).
Children are the future mankind; paedophile rape and murder of them is genocidal without the whiff of a doubt.
House and shop Rents in Britain have sky rocketed. Everything in Britain, the creator of the Industrial Revolution (aka Capitalism), and now Mafia-capitalism, costs 300 times more than its true worth. Public transport is a rip-off – underground and over-ground trains and privatized bus companies are sucking the life-blood of the working poor; The young generation (my children!) cannot leave parental home because they cannot make ends meet – We, parents ourselves cannot make ends meet, further impoverished trying to help the children. Because of the sudden introduction of University fees, the accommodation rents, and food prices in University towns have shot up a hundred fold – it is no more possible for students from poorer background to survive in say Cambridge, which has turned into a millionaire's garbage dump for their drug-infused children, who can't even speak proper English, and yet get into the University ... While many highly qualified British students are rejected, don't even get a look in.
And this was engineered not by a sick Conservative government – Mrs Thatcher's "the nasty party" in the immortal words of Mrs Theresa May, now a Conservative Home Secretary – but by the pseudo-Socialist New Labour invented by Prime Minister Tony Blair who sold his soul to President George Bush, the most genocidal of US presidents; There is a new book just out – Blair Inc: The Man Behind the Mask, by Francis Beckett, David Hencke and Nick Kochan, published by John Blake Publishing, London, 2015 – it unravels all the foul deeds of the Butcher of Iraq (and thank God for our democracy that such books can still be published). While throwing the British people to the mafia-capitalist dogs, Blair was and is engaged just for millions of dollars – kissing the most despicable tyrants on this planet, Libya's forgotten Colonel Gaddafi (now hopefully burning in Hell's eternal fires).
The Book was serialized in the Daily Mail, and here is a long headline in huge type-face of one of them; "The despot who bought Blair for £16 million (and Cherie – his wife – for £320k). It's a deal that shames Britain. How our ex-PM sold himself to a 'virtual gangster' linked to torture, money laundering, bribery and murder" – named President Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan.
Blair's mate, Gordon Brown, who followed him as PM, frequently bragged about being the son of a Scottish Socialist-Christian preacher, but as Blair's decade-long Finance Minister converted Britain's homes into a free market commodity, to be gobbled up by the Russian and Indian oligarchs.
Mr Brown re-capitalized the British bankrupt banks to the tune of 250 billion pounds from the blood-stained taxes of the poor – instead of giving the poor of Britain a million pounds per family, what a noble Arab Sheik in the Gulf had given a few years ago to his country's population! It would still have been cheaper for Britain, costing hardly £25 billion, instead of the 250 billion robberies to save the Capitalist system. And he did – the Scottish Socialist preacher's son did save the most genocidal socio-economic system in History.
To this day, no British bank-robber is court-martialled while Big Business is officially permitted to avoid taxes. And here is a most genocidal statistics from the European Commission (from a BBC 4 Storyville Documentary titled The Great European Disaster Movie) – "Estimated Tax Evasion (by the wealthy, the multi-national companies, corrupt tax-exiles banking off-shore – Prof HIP) amounts to 1 trillion Euros per year".
If an immigrant is caught moonlighting, because underpaid, working for cash in hand, the British tax-man gets him imprisoned ... with wife and children if need be, and then deport them after release from prison!
All the above are all genocides perpetrated daily on totally innocent masses, raped daily in a thousand and one ways. Our lives in the civilized West is everyday genocided by the stinking rot at the heart of a money-mad economic system converting poor people into alcoholics, drug-addicts, and prostitutes (who are frankly the only professionals left in Mafia-capitalism doing honest business).
I hereby offer the Musicians of the world – composers and music makers – Rockers and Pop stars; FREE of ALL copyright, and for no money, the following lyrics from my pen, to anyone who would be inspired to create a deeply felt song of a genocide, the massacre of my people, the Armenians, that opened the gates of Hell in the 20th c., the most genocidal yet in human history, with not one but two humungous wars fought all over the world, followed by the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, then the Korean war, and Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and even now this very minute in Syria, innocent people being killed for absolutely no reason except to steal the petrol of Iraq by Halliburton, not to return the Golan Heights that belong to Syria ... to protect the new cocaine routes opened recently through Ukraine ... and all for Money-greed, the poisoned blood circulating in the hardened veins of the genocidal capitalist system.
Anglo-American mafia-capitalism is destroying the world every day, every hour of every day, and every minute and second of every hour ... by car industry pollution, unnecessary expansion of airports and aviation industry, man-made generation of Carbon Dioxide – six billion tonnes every year off-loaded onto our stratosphere.
The capitalist world is sleep-walking into self-destruction – if it will not happen tomorrow, it is no consolation, if you care about your grandchildren surviving into the next century...
Here then is a protest song against genocide, with simple lyrics (Song-lyrics must not seek great complex poems distracting the music which must be of paramount importance) – every word here is true and tearful, to be composed as a sweet sad song about what my parents – the Armenians – suffered a hundred years ago, still being genocided by denials and endless lies, never mind by the Turkish state, but the 3 great denialist governments – of America, Britain, and Israel – the latter even more wounding to Armenians, and unbearably hurtful, by a people that suffered the Nazi inhumanity aplenty. Shame and eternal damnation on those three most powerful states of the planet!
Israel's Story
Israel is my Armenian name
My baby-brother, a genius,
Three years old, would ask
Ancient questions; "Who is me?"
"Why People kill each other?"
"Where is god? Can I see him?"
(Refrain) Then I was ten
In Nineteen fifteen
On our death-march
In the deserts of Syria
My baby brother starved
And died of thirst
With my father Ohanes
Whipped by Turkish gendarmes
We're not allowed to dig a grave
In Nineteen fifteen}
I, Israel then found a rock to cover
My baby brother's breathless body
To shoo away the wild dogs
And the dark gray wolves
Said my father Ohanes
The Zionists brag that the Holocaust of the Jews was a unique event, and nothing like it has or could ever happen – a totally crazy idea. The horror of the shoah (= catastrophe, in Hebrew) lies in the fact that there is nothing unique about it (and we Armenians, have used precisely the same epithet (agheht) in our protest-literature from the days of the Sultan Hamit massacres of the Armenians in 1890's. Armenian racist nationalists, copying the Jewish Zionists (while hating them – there is unfortunately a strong current of anti-Semitism among some ignorant and crazy Armenians), claim the same foolishness for the Young Turk genocide of the Armenians, that it is unique, and all that Zionist nonsense!
The horror of genocides, call it what you like, whether agheht, holocaust, shoah, nakba (in Arabic), the satanic horror of it is that it has happened all the time, to many nations, always starting civil-wars, and ending with total wars, maiming and genociding millions ... Unfortunately, because of the Zionist racist idiocy, different nationalities, especially the Armenians (and other victim peoples) get distracted by the childish game of genocide-competition similar to the playground argument that 'my big crayon is bigger and better than yours, my mummy bought it at Harrods, yours is from the Tower Hamlets (Region of South London where poor immigrants live ...)


So, after playing with Roadster #40 for two days, we had to bring it in to Tesla for service because of the aforementioned charging disaster on the first day.
Funny enough, there was a new article on Tesla's service at greencarreports.com that was published today as well. We must all be bringing our Teslas in for work.
Basically spent a vacation day driving around LA and giving rides to family members and friends. A day with a loaner Model S is quite fun. The P85+ is really quick (and smooth), but the loaners are limited to 80 miles per hour. 0-60 is plenty quick and it reaches 80 and stops there.
Did over 200 miles of driving yesterday. Even made a stop at Hawthorne for the Supercharger station. It was not charging as fast as when fully operational because three of the five chargers are out of commission. Still, a lot faster than the Active E.
Got there at 4:35pm and started charging at 5:20pm.
Not as fast as promised (construction woes), but a heck of a lot faster than the Active E.
I'll hold off on reviewing service until they're done. But I can at least assert that after two days of driving a Model S for my daily drive and a bit more that I am assured that our order for an 85kwh Standard one was the right decision. There are still stuff about the S that bug me, but it is a rather well-built vehicle.
Well, I TRIED to meet up with the West Coast Active E Facebook folks in Morro Bay on April 7, 2013. However, since I was busy on Saturday and didn't head out for a Range Insane 240 mile drive from home to where the meet up is, I decided to ICE it with my BMW 328iC. I guess we run what is known as a hybrid garage and I figure that to supplement the Active E, a convertible and SUV are definitely two types of ICE vehicles that are not quite EV ready (as of April 2013).
So, to match some of the capabilities of the Active E, I had to wire up my portable Sirius radio to the convertible and wired it up.
As I documented in other locations, the dangers of going to a FB meetup when I don't have FB is that when plans change, I may not be updated. So, after driving 240 miles one way, I missed the Active E folks by about 15 minutes. I actually got to see Mariel and Edison drive by as I spoke to Tom Moloughney to see if he can get me in touch with the West Coast guys. At least it was a beautiful California day and my wife and I had a fun drive with the top down for a bit of the journey!
The day after the meetup, dropped off the car for 30,000 mile service, a little early at 29,650.
This service took a little longer than the 25,000 mile service as I actually had a transmission malfunction a few weeks ago that required me to go to the battery switch to reset it. Unfortunately, even after four days in service, they didn't find anything "wrong" with the car.
So, got the car back.
Did a little driving around and got to 30k.
So, what have I learned this past 10,000 miles… I really enjoy EVs and I am really intrigued by the new Fiat 500e and so happy to live in California where Fiat is offering this vehicle.
Back from Oxnard! Woohoo, a photo by dennis_p on Flickr.
I'm back in the race for the top mileage again! Just in time for Christmas.
No further word except for a failed high voltage sensor!
Gave my dealer and BMW USA my piece of mind and suggestions on how to improve the process. Basically training and communication.
As well as my displeasure with the towing procedure!
Waiting for Godot… Day Nine!
As was predicted by Electronut #1, Tom Moloughney, in the initial Oxnard bound post, "It could be something as minor as a bad sensor so keep the faith!". The man is a "BMW EV Whisperer". The only note from the guys at Oxnard that was communicated to my dealer was a failed sensor in the High Voltage system caused the issues.
Some are hoping for a White Christmas, others for their two front teeth… I'll be glad when I can renounce the name Godot for my ActiveE!
Posted on December 20, 2012 Categories ActiveE, In for ServiceTags ActiveE, In for Repair, In for Service, OxnardLeave a comment on Waiting for Godot… Day Nine!
Late yesterday afternoon, I received good news. Oxnard called back and said that Godot was on his way back to the dealership. They did not mention what was wrong nor what they did to fix the problem, nor what the problem was.
The only thing they told my dealership is that they wanted them to do an alignment on the wheels… (must have been an effect of the "tow" that BMW Assist did).
Either way, I'll believe it when I see it.
So, today would be the anniversary of the first appearance of this aggressive Transmission Error that would not clear.
Yesterday, I got my first update since Oxnard received the car. And the update was – "Oxnard did not communicate anything yet." Additionally, my Service Advisor tells me that they really operate in a vacuum there and in the past they would only hear when the work was done. I thanked him for calling and told him that this behavior is obviously not BMW level, but understand technical people and suggested that BMW needed to learn to communicate more.
I am hoping to have my car back before Christmas, but doubt it.
Today's update… Nothing. So, I know that Godot left for Oxnard Thursday Afternoon, so I assume it made it from Signal Hill to Oxnard within a few hours, so it should at least be checked in today.
SOS, no real update and I'm running on ICE. The loaner 328 Sedan has issues of its own and the iDrive keeps,resetting while I use the vehicle, so need to get that swapped out Monday morning.
Here's to some good thoughts and Karma.
My ActiveE, who I am temporarily naming Godot is now Oxnard bound.
Oxnard is the regional center for the ActiveE and is often a point of escalation for ActiveE faults. So I am hoping for a quicker turn around.

ARTICLES WEIRD WORLD 5 REAL DEATHS THAT'D BE TOO UNREALISTIC FOR HOLLYWOOD MOVIES
5 Real Deaths That'd Be Too Unrealistic For Hollywood Movies
Jordan Breeding
Daisy Walters
Most of us are going to die in very anticlimactic ways -- cancer, car crashes, crashing a car into a cancer ward. You know, the usual. Most people aren't lucky enough to die in a professional lion wrestling accident, like dear ol' dad. But every now and then, someone exits this mortal coil so perfectly that we can only suspect that God is recycling plot twists from his rejected screenplays.
5 Redd Foxx Died Of A Heart Attack While Filming Chest Pains
Legendary comedian Redd Foxx was best-known for starring in the 1970s sitcom Sanford And Son. Whenever his character, Fred, was trying to weasel out of trouble with his son Lamont, he'd fake a heart attack by clutching his chest and exclaiming, "This is the big one, Elizabeth! I'm coming to join ya!" Because in the '70s, nothing was funnier than a old man repeatedly telling his son that he's about to become an orphan. Lamont eventually caught on and learned to ignore Fred's fake medical emergencies, and one episode even had him take Fred to the doctor to warn him of the dangers of crying wolf.
It was a simpler time for sitcoms.
Then, in 1991, Foxx tried to make a comeback by starring in a new sitcom called The Royal Family, which had been pitched under the title Chest Pains. You can probably guess where this is going. Foxx was being interviewed on set by Entertainment Tonight, but a producer insisted that he come back to finish rehearsing a scene. Foxx fumed about the interruption and, like he did so many times on Sanford, promptly grabbed a chair and dramatically fell to the floor. It wasn't the first time he'd done that on set, so for a moment, everyone thought that he was trying to turn the tense situation into a joke. He wasn't. He even called for his wife, exactly as he had done dozens of times in his most acclaimed role.
They managed to get Foxx to the hospital, where the 68-year-old was pronounced dead four hours later. The producers were wracked with grief ... over the fate of the show, because Hollywood is a mill and humanity is their grist.
4 Basketball Legend Pete Maravich Predicted His Own Death
The average NFL player plays for less than three years. Basketball players have it a little better at four and a half years, but they've still got decades of their lives to fill, trying to figure out what other profession most values slam dunks.
So it makes sense that even a Hall of Fame player like Pete Maravich feared playing professionally for a decade just to die of a heart attack at age 40. That's not speculation; that's literally what he said to a reporter in 1976, when he was 26. He had been in the league for four years and was getting some criticism for his showboating style, so he wanted to make it clear that he saw a life beyond the game.
Well, Maravich ended up playing in the NBA for exactly ten years. And then, when playing some pickup basketball at the age of 40, he collapsed and died from an undiagnosed heart condition right after saying, "I feel great." It was so sudden and so cosmically on the nose that the guys he was playing with initially thought he was joking around. He wasn't. Well, not unless he was super committed to the punchline.
We're beginning to get the idea that you should never simply assume someone is faking a heart attack.
3 The Baby Featured In Life's First Issue Died Days After Life Was Cancelled
The story of George Story's life isn't particularly storied. He spent some time as a journalist and city manager before eventually retiring to Hawaii (this was back when retirement was still a thing). But George did have one moment of fame when he was featured in the prestigious pages of Life magazine. Not only that, but it was Life's first issue after a major reboot, and it was a nude spread!
Unfortunately, it wasn't for Life's annual 100 Sexiest City Managers feature. George was only about 12 seconds old at the time. The editors thought it'd be clever to pair a photo of the newborn Story with the caption "Life Begins." Do you get it? It's pretty cerebral. You might not get it. See, his last name being "Story" could also apply to-
That 1936 magazine bought Story a fun icebreaker for Hawaiian swim-up bars, if not much else. But little did either party know that George and Life were to be intertwined forever. Life's cancellation was announced in 2000, and George's own life was cancelled mere days later, on April 4th. Life's final issue, in May, featured a quote from his widow about how he enjoyed his fame as the Life baby. This would be the part in a hacky movie where a character declares, "It's almost as if he couldn't live ... without Life," shortly before you walk out of the theater and try to argue for a refund.
2 The Last Of The OG Russian Communists Died As The Soviet Union Collapsed Around Him
Lazar Moiseyevich Kaganovich, proud owner of the most Russian name ever, was the Luigi to Joseph Stalin's Mario. He was an Old Bolshevik, meaning he had joined the Communist Party before it became cool in 1917, and found himself on the surviving end of Soviet history by becoming an early supporter of Stalin.
Often considered the number two man in the Kremlin, Kaganovich was a ruthless bureaucrat who played a large part in some of the nastiest moments in Soviet history, including the destruction of many of Moscow's historic monuments and buildings, the famine in Ukraine, and the Great Purge. Yeah, there's a reason they called him "Iron Lazar," and it wasn't because it was his DJ name.
Which is too bad, because that is one SOLID DJ name.
Kaganovich showed remarkable staying power, surviving both Stalin's routine associate purges as well as his purges of Jews in the government -- Kaganovich ended up being the only high-ranking Jewish official to survive through the end of Stalin's reign. When he wasn't helping to kill millions, he took care of all the details that Stalin found tedious, like industrial management and the construction of railways.
But Kaganovich fell out of favor when Stalin died, mostly because of the whole mass murder thing. He was sidelined, then eventually expelled from the Party entirely. But he managed to kick around as a quiet, reserved pensioner until the very end, remaining a hardline communist who hated all of Gorbachev's reforms. The Soviet Union eventually fell into decline, and the last of the Old Bolsheviks died in his armchair, aged 97, on July 26, 1991, months before his beloved Soviet Union also bit the dust.
Our suggested epitaph: "He was there at the beginning, he was there at the end, and he was an asshole all the while in between."
1 Ulysses S. Grant Died Right After Finishing His Memoirs, Saving His Family From Financial Ruin
Former president Ulysses S. Grant fell onto hard times post-presidency, in part because a shady businessman running a Ponzi scheme suckered him out of virtually every cent he owned. To make matters much, much worse, Grant was diagnosed with throat cancer just weeks later. Realizing that time was short, the general vowed to save his family by writing the best damn memoirs in existence. He worked day and night, and in his own words, the experience was unbearable: "I do not sleep though I sometimes doze off a little. If up I am talked to and in my efforts to answer cause pain." He was racing the reaper with nothing but cocaine water to ease his constant, sleepless suffering. He couldn't even lie down because the position was too painful, so there's something to keep in mind the next time you insist you can't do any more work today because you're too depressed about an incorrect lunch order.
That's not the face of someone enjoying recounting their lifetime of achievement.
Despite never being considered a man of letters, Grant somehow managed to crank out his memoirs at the inhuman rate of roughly 50 pages a day. Also helpful was an unlikely ally in Grant's last battle: Mark Twain, who not only offered to publish the book with incredibly generous royalties, but also sent out an army of 10,000 subscription agents dressed in Union uniforms to sell copies across the country, which was the old-timey equivalent of the celebrity retweet.
Grant finished his memoir only days before he died, and it became a monumental bestseller. The book saved Grant's family from poverty and then some, earning $450,000 in a time when dinner out cost, like, a quarter. Twain called it a "literary masterpiece," critics compared him to Thoreau and Whitman, and even today, it's considered one of the greatest works of American writing ever. So if you're a struggling writer, remember that a first-timer in perpetual agony on his deathbed managed to crank out a more successful work than you could ever hope to produce. That probably doesn't help you, but in all fairness, we weren't trying to.

Q: Grails scaffolding template (install-templates) customization documentation Every time I need to customize my templates for scaffolding in Grails I do it by example, looking the code inside the artifacts generated by the command install-templates. But I've never found a documentation for that. I don't know what kind of objects or tags I can use.
For example, in the artifact/Controller.groovy has "@artifact.name@", "@artifact.package@"; In the scaffolding/Controller.groovy has "${className}", "${propertyName}", and even gsp tags like "<%=packageName ? "package ${packageName}\n\n" : ''%>".
How can I know the structure or what others objects or tags I can use? I wonder where it's documented.

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.2 percent in May on a seasonally adjusted basis the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports. The food index declined, but the indices for energy and all items less food and energy rose, resulting in the all items increase.
The all items index rose 1.0 percent for the 12 months ending May, compared to a 1.1-percent increase for the 12 months ending April. The energy index has declined 10.1 percent over the past 12 months, with all major components falling over the span.

Dream on, Establishment
February 6, 2018 by Ryan Hite, Jordan Henry, John & Andy Schlafly
If money talks, the loudest noise in America would be an article published last December entitled "Congress must act on the dreamers." Legislation to protect the 690,000 illegal aliens known as Dreamers, the article insists, "is a political, economic and moral imperative."
"Delay is not an option," the authors wrote, ignoring the backlog of unfinished business in Washington. "Congress must act before the end of the year." With that deadline passed, a movement is afoot to make this a litmus test for candidates seeking to raise campaign cash for races this year.
The op-ed was signed by Charles Koch, who shares a $97 billion fortune with his brother David. The Koch brothers are aligned with the "never Trump" Republicans who have undermined much of President Trump's agenda. Charles Koch is a businessman, and he likes to get his money's-worth when he spends it. After striking out the past two years with their political agenda, the Koch network of mega-donors could be making support of DACA a litmus test for Republican primary candidates in the 2018 election cycle.
Koch was joined by co-author Tim Cook, who succeeded the late Steve Jobs as CEO of Apple. Cook supports many liberal causes. Cook's corporate practices at Apple hardly commend him to lecture about what is best for America. Apple stashes hundreds of billions of dollars – that's billions, not millions – of its profits overseas in order to avoid paying taxes in the United States, and thereby avoid investing it in American workers here.
Moreover, Apple's claim of employing a few hundred Dreamers – far less than 1% of its workforce – in mostly low-skill jobs would not ordinarily attract the attention of a CEO. But Cook and Koch are not just in favor of entitlements for hundreds of thousands of Dreamers, but also for many millions of other illegal aliens.
Tim Cook and Charles Koch declare in supporting DACA, "If ever there were an occasion to come together to help people improve their lives, this is it." But where is the compassion for helping Americans improve their lives? Ending benefits for illegal aliens would do exactly that.

Beatified By: April 9, 2000, Rome by Pope John Paul II
Francis Xavier Seelos was born in Fussen, Germany, in 1819. Expressing his desire for the priesthood since an early age, he entered the diocesan seminary of Augsburg after completing his studies in philosophy. Upon learning of the charism and missionary activity of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, he decided to join and go to North America. He arrived in the United States on April 20, 1843, entered the Redemptorist novitiate and completed his theological studies, being ordained a priest on December 22, 1844. He began his pastoral ministry in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he remained nine years, working closely as assistant pastor of his confrere St. John Neumann, while at the same time serving as Master of Novices and dedicating himself to mission preaching. In 1854, he returned to Baltimore, later being transferred to Cumberland and then Annapolis, where he served in parochial ministry and in the formation of the Redemptorist seminarians. He was considered an expert confessor, a watchful and prudent spiritual director and a pastor always joyfully available and attentive to the needs of the poor and the abandoned. In 1860, he was a candidate for the office of Bishop of Pittsburgh. Having been excused from this responsibility by Pope Pius IX, from 1863 until 1866 he became a full-time itinerant missionary preacher. He preached in English and German in the states of Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin. He was named pastor of the Church of St. Mary of the Assumption in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he died of the yellow fever epidemic caring for the sick and the poor of New Orleans on October 4, 1867, at the age of 48 years and nine months. The enduring renown for his holiness which the Servant of God enjoyed occasioned his Cause for Canonization to be introduced in 1900 with the initiation of the Processo Informativo . On January 27, Your Holiness declared him Venerable, decreeing the heroism of his virtues.

Sacred Heart of Jesus Pillow Case - Spanish Prayer


It may have been a cold and wet Shrove Tuesday, but Glasgow pupils brought their own sunshine to George Square yesterday, along with some carnival sounds straight out of Brazil.
Some 150 kids from five primary schools across the city joined a corops of young brass and wind players from Glasgow's high schools to create Samba in the Square.
They're all involved in Glasgow's Music4All programme, promoting participation in a wide variety of instruments and music styles, from ukulele to tin whistle and samba to street band music.
There are 96 schools involved in total, with 37 of them on the samba programme.
The big performance was led by Martin Douglas, YMI tutor, and Roddy Dickson from Samba Ya Bamba - and it's safe to say the youngsters brought a dose of latin cheer to passers by, as shown in our video footage.
