Falls always happen when you least expect them, usually because you are in an environment where you don't expect to encounter obstacles or tripping hazards. When you slip and fall in a public space, it is often due to negligence, and you have a good chance of being awarded damages. However, even with the best legal team, it can take months or even years to settle your case.
Your attorney will do everything they can to see that you get a settlement that holds the responsible party fully responsible. However, insurance companies may drag their feet, making the settlement time frame uncertain. In the process of establishing liability, unexpected circumstances may arise, and your settlement amount may hang in the balance.
Meanwhile, if your fall has left you temporarily or permanently disabled and unable to work, you need funds to cover medical expenses, pay your bills and care for your family. In desperation to make ends meet, you may be tempted to accept the first lowball settlement offer thrown your way, just to take the pressure off.
Slip and fall settlements are often a waiting game, and insurance companies hope you will tire of waiting and settle for less than you deserve. Cronus provides slip and fall lawsuit funding to people like you, so you can take care of your expenses and hold out for the biggest settlement possible. The friendly staff and Cronus makes the application and approval process quick and easy.
If your application is approved, Cronus will give you a "no-recourse" cash advance. Unlike a typical funding, a no-recourse cash advance only needs to be repaid if you win your case. Once your case is settled, Cronus will be repaid with a small percentage of your settlement award. If you lose your case, you owe us nothing!
Call Cronus today, or apply online, and take the pressure off while you wait for you case to be settled.


The top-end Datsun Redi Go's 'S' variant costs 3.7 Lakh, on road, Delhi, which is 40,000 Rs. cheaper than the top-spec Alto K10 'VXi O' variant costing 4.1 Lakh Rs. The K10 has a couple of extra features like Fog Lamps and Keyless entry over the Redi Go, while the Redi Go has LED DRLs over the K10.
The Redi Go's 800cc 3-pot engine, is no match to the Alto's K10 1-litre unit. In spite of being around 120 kgs heavier than the Redi Go, K10's 200cc advantage, gives it a genuinely quick 0-100 acceleration time of 13.5 seconds, which is 2 seconds quicker, than the Redi Go. The Redi Go has decent drivability around town, but then its refinement is much worse, than the buttery smooth engine, and sporty exhaust note, of the K10.
The CNG powered K10, feels noticeably sluggish in comparison to the petrol cars, but it is a huge improvement, over the CNG version of the Alto 800. The K10 is also available with the cutting-edge AMT automatic gearbox, which eliminates the hassle, of constant gear rowing and clutch operation, taking the edge off the daily commutes.
In our real world tests, the K10 and Redi Go were more or less equally efficient. The K10 CNG covered more than 20 kilometers on a kg of compressed gas, but it also consumed, a litre of petrol for starting etc. for every 150 kms on average, which equates to a savings of 1 Lakh Rs. compared to the petrol cars over a usage of 75,000 km.
Redi Go is far more spacious, and comfortable vehicle than the Alto, which is quite obvious. Thanks to its tall-boy design, it has a high hip point, liberating some much needed leg-room, knee-room and head-room, all of which are in short supply, inside the Alto. Higher seat height also gives the Redi Go's occupants, better under-thigh support, and makes it easy for senior occupants, to get in and out of, compared to the Alto. Redi Go's 222 litre boot, is also a much needed 45 litres more spacious, than the K10's 177 litre capacity. Prospective K10 CNG buyers, also need to make peace, with the total absence of boot-space. Both cars have Spartan interiors, which look like they have time-travelled, to the present, from the 90s.
The K10 reminds you of a go-kart! Its low slung stance, keeps body roll in check, and its tiny footprint means, it will respond to all inputs without much inertia. The Redi Go is a tall-boy, but still manages to be quite enthusiastic, on twisty roads. The K10 is also quite softly sprung, giving it decent ride over smaller bumps and ruts, but tends to get caught out by bigger ones. However, its limited ground clearance means you need to be extra careful, while going over rough roads. Redi Go's higher ground clearance, gives it an edge over the Alto, while negotiating the infamous Indian roads. Redi Go's ride is fairly mature, and feels distinctly like a car from half a segment above it.
Datsun is no match to Maruti-Suzuki's legendary Service Support in our country. Firstly the K10 has demonstrated outstanding product reliability over the past decade. Datsun's Go & Go Plus have also proven to be quite reliable vehicles, but the Redi Go has a brand new, unproven powertrain, which has been developed specifically for developing markets at a fraction of Nissan's usual development costs. Therefore it is best to adopt a wait and watch policy for a few months, and keep an eye on the customer's feedback. Maruti's Service centers are run like well-oiled machinery, with systems and processes honed over the better part of three decades. Nissan-Datsun dealerships are still in their learning phase and are prone to a few hiccups here and there. Maruti's immense service reach courtesy of its 2000+ touch points is also far wider than that of Nissan's 200 odd touch-points.
The K10 is bound to depreciate slightly lower than the Redi Go over a usage of 5 to 7 years.
Overall, the K10 petrol-manual & the Redi Go have identical Cost of Ownership. The K10 AMT automatic is just 20,000 Rs. or just 4% more expensive than the manuals, which is quite negligible. The K10 CNG works out to be a jaw-dropping 1.2 Lakh Rs. or 25% cheaper than the petrol powered variants.
It is a very tough choice between the Redi Go & the Alto K10. The Alto K10 is just perfect for Car Buyer's having some specific requirements. Those looking for years of long commutes, with extremely low running costs, or insurance against the odd-even rule, will go straight for the Alto K10 CNG. Those looking for a second car for use in chock-a-block cities with perennial traffic and tight parking spaces, or those who want one or more of their family members to learn and practice driving, the K10 AMT is a godsend.
However, for the majority of first-time car buyers who are looking for a 'complete' family car, one which can comfortably seat 4 people and a kid, one which can carry a family's weekend luggage, one which can be driven to intra-state road trips, one which can take the everyday bumps and potholes in its stride, and yet after doing all this, still not burn a big hole in the pocket, the Redi Go is a perfect match. And that is why it is our pick of this comparison.


Remember when that mysterious foreign buyer laid down $53.5 million to buy triplex penthouses on top of the newly renovated (and still not open) Plaza Hotel? Well, call that deal off. Late last Friday, that international mystery man revealed himself to be Russian financier Andrei Vavilov, who launched a hedge fund here this year. Lawyers for Vavilov filed a lawsuit under two corporate entities in New York State Supreme Court against El-Ad Properties, the company that has undergone what's become a turbulent makeover process, and Stribling, the brokerage firm.
According to the lawsuit, El-Ad advertised the penthouses to be "one of a kind" oases, perched on top of one of the city's most magnificent addresses. Enticed by advertisements, buyers for Vavilov plunked down $10.3 million in down payments for two units, 2009 and 2011, which they planned to convert into one giant palatial condo overlooking the park.
Before closing, the buyer was finally able to check out the apartment and, according to the lawsuit, was appalled. "An attic-like space was found," according to a press release, "with ceiling heights far lower than promised, views were obstructed, window sizes dwarfed, square footage diminished, large unattractive drainage grates installed directly outside of certain windows, among other drastic changes not disclosed." The suit describes the deal as a "bait and switch" that was merely "a well-orchestrated scheme motivated by self-interest and greed." It also describes how the narrow windows in the penthouse "make the space more closely resemble an attic than a luxury penthouse living room." Vavilov's buyer wants his $10.3 million deposit back, plus damages (they estimate, somehow, that figure will be over $20 million).
Lawyers for El-Ad responded with a statement, calling the lawsuit "baseless" and accusing Vavilov of "failure to meet his legal obligation to close." They say the apartments were just as they were described in plans, and called the contract "iron-clad." "The Plaza is all but sold out and closings are proceeding as scheduled for some of the most highly regarded and sought after residences in the world," they added.


Dating your husband or wife will be very different from dating a potential husband or wife. Yet it is just as important. When you were single, dating was a time to get away alone, to talk, laugh, and have fun together. On your date you took time to learn more about each other. You learned about each other's pasts and dreamed about your future together. This helped you to feel at ease with each other.
But the point is often missed that even though you're married, the two of you still need to date and dream together.
You need to get away alone and continue to talk, laugh, and have fun together. This helps to stockpile good memories for those challenging times.
That's one reason why dating shouldn't stop with marriage. Too often, married couples get settled into the routine of jobs, church, parenting, and other commitments. Many couples are so busy that they don't take time to nurture the foundation of their family —their marriage and their relationship with each other. As we know all too well, when that marriage foundation begins to crumble, everything else comes down with it.
Your marriage is your most important relationship after your relationship with God. Your marriage needs nurturing. Like a plant needs water or a car needs an oil change, your marriage needs consistent attention. It needs care and nurture every day; it needs a special "tune-up" once in a while. You may need to jump-start a habit that needs to be a regular part of your marriage. You need to reconnect with your spouse. You need to work at your marriage.
Guys, you wouldn't think of ignoring your car for a year at a time. So why do you think your wife can go for days or weeks at a time without attention from you? Women, you wouldn't think of buying a plant and refusing to water it. So why do you think your husband can go for days or weeks at a time without some of his most important needs being met?
Keep a marriage together and romance alive takes time. It means making one's marriage and spouse a priority and setting aside time for only him or her. In other words, it means planning dates on a regular basis.
This article came from the book, 40 Unforgettable Dates with Your Mate by Dr Gary and Barbara Rosberg. It is published by Tyndale House Publishers. This is a companion book to the Rosberg's best-selling book The 5 Love Needs of Men and Women . This book will help you plan fun dates to meet your spouse's needs.
• GREAT DATE IDEA FROM F.O.F.
It has to be something that we wouldn't usually do.
It has to be something that we would both enjoy.
And it cannot be too expensive.
There is to be no swapping of letters.
The letter owner has to organize all of the arrangements.
The activities are to remain a secret until the day of the date.
WE HOPE YOU HAVE FUN… THAT'S THE IDEA!!!

Difference Between Alliteration and Repetition
• Categorized under Language,Words | Difference Between Alliteration and Repetition
Alliteration and repetition are found side by side in the literary world. Alliteration makes specific emphasis on sounds in words, while repetition engages in repeating the same words or sequences of words, to make a point in the written word. Alliteration, as a figure of speech, appears in poetry, prose and musical lyrics. Alliteration is used to give rhythm and help make the sentences more pleasing to the ear. Repetition has its place in poetry, prose and musical lyrics adding to chorus lines and helping to complete the rhythm of songs and poems. There may be a crossing over of the two styles, but basically alliteration will focus on the sound in words and letters while repetition is dependent on the repeated use of words or phrases.
What is Alliteration?
Alliteration in its most simple form is the use of the first consonant letter of consecutive words in the writing. The words succeed one another in a sentence. The use of sounds within words can be used for the purpose of alliteration. The letters do not have to be the same, but the sound does. Look at this sentence:
'Crooks conspire with the kind king.' The consonants c and k both make the same sound.
Words can be used between the alliterated words. The alliteration becomes apparent when the whole sentence is read. Vowels can be part of an alliteration, providing they have the same sound. Consonance is the use of consonant sounds over several words in a sentence while assonance refers to the use of vowels in a sentence as long as they sound alike.
Alliteration has found its way into the commercial world and has been successfully used in branding and advertising products with catchy names.
What role does alliteration play in literary circles?
Alliteration is used to stress a point and to make the sentence more pleasing to the ear.
It automatically gets the readers attention as the stress on sound becomes apparent.
It brings resonance and mood into a piece of writing. For example, using the 's' sound repeatedly when writing about a snake brings the sssss sound into the piece of writing and reminds the reader of a snake.
Alliteration used in literature brings a harmony of sound to the literary works of Shakespeare and other classical authors. Consider these words from Romeo and Juliet:
'From forth the fatal loins of these two foes,
A pair of star crossed lovers take their life.'
Alliteration is used in marketing to help the consumer relate to a product.
'Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's just Maybeline.' a catchy phrase to draw attention to the name of the product – Maybeline.
Branding products with names that use alliteration is part of marketing too. Products like Kitkat or Canon Camera are more readily remembered with a bit of alliteration. Our super heroes can be added to this section. Alliteration for the hero's names like Clark Kent or Wonder Woman help brand the name and make it more memorable.
Song lyrics and different composition styles make use of alliteration. The modern RAP song takes full advantage of alliteration combining sounds and words to make the lyrics memorable.
What is Repetition?
Repetition is simply repeating words or phases. The act of saying things over again is repetition, or what is known as re -petitioning. Repetition is a rhetorical device, a way of persuading or motivating a reader. The writer, motivates through stressing in a particular piece of writing, using repetative words or phrases. Repetition is a popular way of connecting with an audience and used in public speaking. Repetition allows the speaker to emphasis the words that are important and need to be imprinted on the listener's mind. A storyteller uses repetition to help remember the details of a story through repeated lines. Storys for young readers have repetitive lines or verses to help the emergent reader connect with the story or a character in the story. The Gingerbread Man for example has a rhyme repeated through the story that engages the younger reader or listener.
'Run, run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man' is repeated each time the Gingerbread Man meets another character in the story.
Charles Dickens, in his classical story The Tale of Two Cities, used repetition to make his words more memorable and convincing. He uses a contrast of positives and negatives with the repetitive words of 'It was the' to place importance on the opening mood of the book. Two cities, in two different phases of their history, and the different responses to the characters in the story.
'It was the best of times.
It was the worst of times.
It was the age of wisdom,
It was the age of foolishness.'
Popular in speeches, it was Martin Luther King Jr who used the phrase 'I have a dream' throughout his speech. In this way he was able to connect himself, and his audience, to these words.
What role does repetition play in literary circles?
Repetition in writing adds the extra stress or importance to the message being given. There are different styles of repetition. There are a variety of repetitive formats used by writers and poets. The following are the most well known in literary circles.
Conduplication – is the repetition of a word in various places within a piece of writing. It is used to explain concepts or stress the importance of an idea.
For example Robert F Kennedy said:
'So I ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King, but more importantly, to say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love – a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke.
Diacope – The repeated words are separated by the addition of new words placed between them. For example, Shakespeare wrote these words for Prince Hamlet's well known soliloquay from the play Hamlet :
'To be or not to be.'
Epanilipsis – The repetition of a word at the beginning and the end of a sentence.
Hungry cats lash out not because they are mean, but because they are hungry.'
Polyptoton – the repetition of the same root word. For example:
I'm the decider, and I decide what is best,
Whimsical style – Dr Seuss is very well known for the style of his writing in children's books. Using repetition and rhyming he creates a silly style of writing that appeals to young children.
'One fish two fish,
Red fish, blue fish.
From there to here, from here to there,
funny things are everywhere.
This style is very typical of this repetitive, but effective style of writing.
Alliteration Vs. Repetition
Summary of Alliteration Vs. Repetition:
Alliteration and repetition are both used as a way of enhancing a piece of poetry or prose writing. They bring more resonance to the work.
Alliteration uses sounds to stress the dialogue or rhymes while repetition uses words or phrases repeatedly to add value or emphasis to the writing.
Repetition is used by speech makers to stress points in a speech or to connect their audience with themselves through the speech.
Alliteration has been successfully used in branding and marketing of specific products.
Repetition has several ways to use this technique and has been successfully used in classical literature by authors like Charles Dickens and William Shakespeare.
Alliteration can appear to be immature and lose its impact if it is over done. It may appear more like a riddle or childish rhyme rather than a piece of memorable writing.
Repetition helps young readers with their early reading skills. It engages the listener in the story with repeated rhymes or words a particular character may say.
Repetition is very persuasive and puts the reader at ease as the same phrases are a reminder of something positive. Alliteration adds harmony and memorable lyrics to the words of a poem or drama to a piece of prose as the different sounds are used creatively.

Canada's Causal Bit Games is currently working on an upcoming action platformer called Battle Princess Madelyn that deliberately brings back memories of 16-bit titles like Ghouls 'n Ghosts following an enormously successful Kickstarter campaign.
To further the feeling of its retro gameplay, Battle Princess Madelyn will be receiving an arcade mode, according to the game's developers. This will see the structure of the levels that were previously available in the game's story mode rearranged in order to pump up the difficulty. This will also allow for faster and more intense gameplay, as Madelyn uses her signature javelins to fend off all manner of supernatural medieval foes.
Throughout the recently released highlight reel for the game's arcade mode, we are treated just how old school Battle Princess Madelyn is going to be. She traverses graveyards and villages, consistently being attacked by swarms of undead enemies. The fast-paced nature of the gameplay makes it seem as though this will be a particularly frantic affair, as Madelyn hops over incoming fire, navigates her way across spikes, and battles giant skeleton knights.

Army Shutters Myawaddy Checkpoint in Clampdown on Auto Smuggling
April 3, 2018 by Thiha
Two Border Guard Force (BGF) soldiers refused The Irrawaddy permission to approach a border crossing between Myawaddy and Mae Sot, Thailand on foot on Monday, saying the area was closed. The closure reportedly followed efforts by the army to clamp down on vehicle smuggling across the Thai border.
According to Kyaw Than, an automobile trader who accompanied an Irrawaddy reporter to the area, however, the border crossing was normally open.
Local sources told The Irrawaddy that the Myanmar Army had ordered the BGF to close one of the area's two border checkpoints, which have become a major route for smuggling illegally imported cars.
At another, disused border checkpoint that is also used to smuggle cars into the country, where on most days thousands of vehicles can be seen lined up on the Thai side of the border across the Moei River, no cars could be seen lined up on Monday. Both sides appeared empty, except for a few Myanmar laborers looking for work.
Kyaw Than said he was one of the many car buyers who traveled to the border crossing to buy smuggled cars. To see the cars, buyers must cross the river to where the cars are parked on the Thai side. When a deal is made, a Thai seller brings the car to the Myanmar side. The BGF soldiers then ask for a payment for permission to cross through the border checkpoint. Most traders do business with BGF personnel, he said. BGF soldiers even offered a service to drive the black market cars to the homes of buyers. Until recently, the Myanmar Army and police did not dare to take action against the BGF, he said. "They rule in Myawaddy. No one dares to make a problem for them," Kyaw Than said.
Most of the smuggled cars are second-hand vehicles from Japan and Thailand. Some are stolen cars from other countries, but buyers are not concerned about that, he said. People looking for cheap cars travel to Myawaddy from all over Myanmar. Officially, the government only allows imported cars to enter the country via ports, but it has not been able to control the smuggling of vehicles across the Thai border.
Tension between BGF, Army
On Saturday, the Myanmar Army made surprise checks of two BGF bases — including two border checkpoints —without asking permission from BGF leaders. Some BGF leaders were reportedly upset about the army's move, but decided not to complain about it.
Regarding the army's action, BGF spokesperson Naing Maung Zaw told The Irrawaddy that, "We are all soldiers. We should respect each other. But, they [the Army] did not respect us."
Myanmar Army and BGF leaders held a meeting in Myawaddy yesterday, according to BGF sources. The army ordered the closure of one major border checkpoint that had become a major conduit for car smuggling.
The situation was tense in some locations where BGF personnel were fully armed. Some residents of Myawaddy said both sides were to blame for the problem. "Normally [the town's] restaurants are crowded, but not today," Kyaw Than said.

Leg and arm warmers are perfect accessories for those who ride in all weather conditions to keep out the chill on your ride. The real advantage to them is that they are easily removed in a few minutes which makes them an ideal alternative to a long sleeve jersey or tights. This makes them extremely popular for spring and autumn rides where you may get warmer or colder as the ride wears on, and wearing winter clothing will mean you're too warm and summer clothing would leave you cold!
Many riders won't stop completely if they get too warm or cold and will just roll their arm warmers down to their wrists if they are warm or up again if they are cold. This is more difficult to achieve with leg warmers but many of them have zips up the calf to allow them to be easily removed over shoes whilst on the move, so you won't have to strip off at the side of the road.
For other warm weather gear see our range of cycling jackets, gloves and base layers.

This meant a change to the brand architecture, making Honey Monster the parent brand. It also meant a re-design for Sugar Puffs and new designs for three further products.

Firenze, 9 febbraio 2016 - 11:42
Macchiarini, a letter by Romagnani
The Faculty of Medicine in Florence in 2009 was right in rejecting Paolo Macchiarini professorship
di Sergio Romagnani, Professor Emeritus of the University of Florence
The letter sent to the Director of "Corriere Fiorentino", Paolo Ermini, by Sergio Romagnani, Professor Emeritus of the University of Florence on January 10, 2016.
Dear Director, i read yesterday both the article by Alessio Gaggioli and your comment on the unexpected recent evolution of the Macchiarini surgeons' story and I have also directly looked at the American magazine Vanity Fair's long article entitled "The Celebrity Surgeon Who Used Love, Money and the Pope to scam an NBC News Producer". I am convinced that this fortunately represents the gravestone on the prestige of this man. From the Vanity' Fair article a dark picture beyond any expectation is clearly emerging. Since, as you know very well, I had some role in the past on the events which marked the stay of Macchiarini in Florence and I already expressed some comments on your newspaper at that time and also subsequently, I feel it is now my obligation to draw some conclusions with regard to the Florentins leading actors of the story. I would like to exclude from my comments the Florentine magistracy, although it got an important role in the removal of the surgeon from the Careggi's Hospital, because I have not a direct knowledge on the professional behavior of Macchiarini and it is object of a judicial proceeding. However, I would like to make my comments on the behavior of other leading actors of the story, that I personally know.
Politicians. It is well clear that Macchiarini was invited to come to Florence because of a political choice based on his fresh international popularity, due to his innovative approach on the trachea's surgery. To this end, Macchiarini got from politicians a very rich salary in return for a limited work time, a personal laboratory created and supported by funds of the Tuscany Region and the promise by the Dean of the School of Medicine of the Florence University, of the title of Full Professor of Thoracic Surgery without the need of a national competition, but based on the "call by equivalence", which the Italian law allows in the case that the candidate can demonstrate the execution of a similar function in a foreign University. As far as I know, Tuscan politicians did neither ask for any information to the Director of the Department of the University of Barcelona, where Macchiarini made his first innovative surgery treatment, nor they ask for any opinion to experts in the field of stem cells, that had been central in the new approach. In my view, good politicians, which are often obliged to make a strategic choice even in very different fields, should take advantage of the point of view of internationally recognized experts. Unfortunately, in the last decades the strategy choice of the Careggi Hospital, which is the most important of the Tuscany Region, has been based on the opinions of clinicians, even professionally remarkable, but lacking a true scientific thickness. A thickness which is easy to deduce in the internet time through the simple consultation of a website (Web of ScienceTM from Thomson Reuters, Philadelphia). In this site the most important parameters of all world reasearchers are clearly listed (i.e. number of scientific publications, their impact factor, number of citations and h-number). This political strategy at the Careggi Hospital has transformed the "Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria" of Careggi from a Center of High Specialization, Research and Education of high national and even international level to a simple Hospital, even if of optimal healthcare level. However, this consideration pertains to another problem and should be deepened in another context.
Professors of the School of Medicine. Once the Faculty of Medicine was asked by its Dean to call Macchiarini as a Full Professor "by equivalence", some Professors invoked in the Assembly the development of a Committee of experts, who should analyze his "curriculum vitae" (CV). I was named as a Member of the Committee because of my expertise in the stem cells field together with a general surgeon, a thoracic surgeon, a heart surgeon, a vessel surgeon, a pneumologist and a pharmacologist. The Committee after three-four sessions on December 2009, wrote a report which concluded that Macchiarini had never exerted the function of Full Professor in a foreign University, although some of the activities previously developed in Hannover, Paris and Barcelona had been indicated in the CV as equivalent to the function of Full Professor In Italy. This wrong information was very clear, even if the Committee had been impaired from the Dean of the Faculty to ask for further information to the foreign colleagues of these cities. Once received the report from the Committee, the Dean did not reveal its content in the Faculty's Assembly, but maintained the document as confidential. In spite of that the final choice of the Faculty of Medicine became substantially right, because Macchiarini was not called as Full Professor at the School of Medicine from the University of Florence. Thus, "I baroni" (as named in insulting way the Professors of the Schools of Medicine in Italy) were the only leading actors that in this story took the most correct decision.
Media. The media, including Florentine and national newspapers, with the only exception of the "Corriere Fiorentino", got in this story a very pejorative role by cheering in favour of Macchiarini. The reasons for this behauvior were probably different, some due to mechanisms of deference toward the political power, some to their political affinity with the same power and other, perhaps, even hidden and unespeakable. The main point of the media was to present the event to their readers as the refusal by the dark "baroni" of the Faculty of Medicine to allow the return to Italy of a drained brain. Accordingly, at that time many Italian television broadcastings were focused on this point. Because of these undeserved charges, I asked to the other Members of the Committee to reveal the content of the Macchiarini's CV, in which there was the proof of a fraud, similar to all those recently revealed by the Vanity Fair's article. Indeed, in the same Vanity Fair's article, Ronald Scheuten from the Massachusetts General Hospital of Boston, a great expert of psycopathies, describes Macchiarini as the extreme form of a conman.
Fron all this regrettable story is, however, emerging that with regard to the relationship between Macchiarini and Florence the only leading actors who acted in a correct way were just the "baroni" appointed in the Committee by the Faculty of Medicine and the newspaper you are directing: Therefore, I would like to finish my letter by thanking my colleagues of the Committee and your reporter Alessio Gaggioli, because he always showed shrewdness, accuracy, and intellectual honesty in the description of the different phases of this really phantasmagoric story.

Asians have enjoyed the great flavor and excellent health benefits of seaweed for thousands of years as both a meal, meal accompaniment and as a snack. Now, with the expansion of sushi and other Asian cuisines around the world, seaweed is rapidly becoming one of the fastest growing food categories in the entire world.
In ancient times, Pyropia, or red seaweed (gim, in Korea, or nori, in Japan) was harvested by fishermen from rocks and driftwood and so valuable as to be included in a bride's dowry. But it wasn't long before industrious farmers and fishermen devised ways to cultivate seaweed on bamboo stalks and nets, a practice that survives even today.
At Nora we source our nori from our farms in the protected bays of Korea, we select only the finest, high-quality product available.
You don't need to go to a restaurant in Seoul or Tokyo to enjoy the great taste of seaweed. Nora has crafted both a unique, delicious and oh-so munchable seaweed snack that you can enjoy anytime, anywhere; no passport required.
High in antioxidants and thyroid-boosting iodine.
Linked to lower blood pressure and increased heart health.
A natural way to reduce inflammation.
A major part of ethnic cuisines that promote longevity.
It is high in vitamins A, B6, and B12, as well as protein, iron, and fiber, plenty of reasons to consider it a savvy snack for you or your kids. But the main reason we love seaweed? It's delicious. And it doesn't take a table at Kitcho in Kyoto or an audience with a Master Itamae to find that out. Nora brings you all that flavor and tradition in a bag that's a little less bulky than the ones we used to haul back from our trips abroad.
...how did we get here, anyways?

Spirit-Sickness and Values through an Atheist's Lens
Joan Beckwith, PhD September 6, 2017
As an atheist who believes in spirit-sickness, and the importance of strong values, I find myself having interesting conversations about how that can be. What does it mean to believe in the spirit if you don't believe in God? How can disbelievers suffer spirit-sickness? Where do values come from in the absence of a religious framework? I raise these questions in this post, without presuming to have 'answers', but with an invitation to contribute your comments.
An atheist talking about the spirit?
"I believe in spirit-sickness," I said to my friend, a staunch Christian, "so I guess that must mean I believe in the spirit." She was telling me about a young person, hospitalised for anorexia, who talks about it in spiritual terms.
"How can you say that," she asked, "when you don't believe in God?"
I realised I didn't really know. "I know there's more to me, to us…" I stopped. "There's more than body and brain. There's a non-physical part that exists, I believe, beyond religion, even though it's not easy to find non-religious language for it. Perhaps 'inner self' is as close as it gets."
What do you mean by spirit-sickness?
My friend peered at me, mascara wand in hand, as we shared the mirror in the change rooms after a swim. As we do.
"So, what would you say causes spirit-sickness? Or, inner-self sickness?" she asked.
"Any number of things, I expect, but I've been most aware of it when my values have been inverted, when my right has been turned into wrong by those with the power to define right and wrong in their terms."
This kind of inversion happened to me in a seriously damaging way when I was employed as a psychologist in a community service. My core values were about working collaboratively with clients, subverting the role of the professional 'expert', and validating the knowledge of lived experience. My work was constructed by management as unprofessional, unethical, creating codependence, failing to establish clear boundaries and, in a crucial instance, breaching organisational confidentiality.
The inversion of my values was, in effect, an attack on my essence, on what I stand for personally, professionally, and politically. My 'good' was turned into 'bad', and I unpack the effects of this experience in my factional novel "Swimming with Sharks".
For me, then, spirit-sickness arises when my deeply-held values are invalidated in a way that involves personal attack. I know this experience, from experience, but also find it hard to articulate. I'm keen to hear other people's experiences.
What about moral values for an atheist?
Interestingly, not long after the conversation with my friend about spirit-sickness, my family had a discussion about moral values, and where they come from in the absence of a received framework.
My son told us about a conversation he had with a colleague from America. Tim and his wife, Anna, are expecting their first child. Anna was brought up in a religion she no longer practices. Tim belonged to fraternities as a student, and said they had provided a value framework of community involvement and helping others out.
The couple are in Australia without family and are interested in thinking about values as part of parenting. But, what are they, and where do they come from, without religion or fraternities or some other pre-existing source?
My immediate response was that teaching empathy surely had to be core.
"That's pretty abstract to teach a small child," my son objected.
"Not really," I argued. "You can start with simple questions. For example: 'Would you like that to happen to you?' Or, 'How would you feel if that happened to you?' Or, 'If something bad happened to you, what would you want your friends to do?' As children get older, the conversations can become deeper, but opportunities arise from a pretty young age."
"I don't think you can impose a value system anyway," I added, "although people will try. Children make sense of parents and other potential role models in ways that fit their own awareness, not necessarily in ways intended by adults. They might take on the framework you would like to pass on, or they might not want a bar of it."
As Nikki Gemmell puts it in After, "we cannot rigidly shape our children's lives no matter how much we would like to. We have to step back and watch them bloom into who they are meant to be…" (p.130).
How do values get shaped?
My daughter recalled a powerful experience from her childhood, possibly going back about twenty years.
She was on school camp, and one of her friends plotted a mean trick on a helper (someone older than the children but not as old as a parent or teacher). This helper, my daughter said, was socially awkward. The plot was to pull her things from the clothes line and let them fall in the mud.
Cecy didn't actively participate in this 'game', but nor did she try to stop it. She was uncomfortable with the laughter, but didn't speak out against the prank. She was, in effect, guilty by omission, for not doing anything, and she knew it.
She still remembers the bad feeling, and I felt a shudder as well.
She did, however, make an effort to spend time with the helper during the rest of the camp. She remembers that experience as the starting point of hanging out with people she noticed being ostracised at school, and later in her adult life.
My son also recalled a memorable experience of his own. He was away with friends, and a group of kids had been playing on the beach when the majority decided to move on. Connor's particular friend wasn't ready to go, and he was torn between wanting to stick with the crowd, some of whom were older and cooler, and sticking with his friend.
He remembers that experience as a lesson in loyalty, I think, although I would also see empathy as a driver.
My daughter, picking up on the American woman's religious background, commented that she didn't think religion provided much of a basis for good values. I agreed in relation to institutionalised religion, although I also noted that Christian values ("Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", for example) can have a lot going for them. You don't need religion to learn them but, without it, you perhaps need to be more agentic in developing them.
Cecy didn't see fraternities as a source of good values. either Nor did I. But Connor said his American friend had explained that members of a fraternity are expected to do good works in their community. If they don't, they become a brother in poor standing, and don't get any beer. And thus they tend to do what's expected!
A personal journey from authoritarian religion to analysis of power relations
These conversations reminded me of my own journey to shape a value system. I was brought up in an authoritarian form of punitive and oppressive Catholicism during an era rampant with abuses. I discarded the formalities, and the belief system, in my early twenties.
I remember the sense of being suspended in a value-vacuum. I had no respect for the 'rules' of my religion, and it hadn't taught me any meaningful values. Without that framework, though, I had no articulated structure of right and wrong. I felt I was on my own.
I threw out the baby with the bathwater in a sense. I could have salvaged some of the Christian values, such as "do unto others…", and built on them. Unfortunately, for me, they weren't part of the legacy of my childhood. I didn't believe in God, didn't relate to the Bible, and basically thought Jesus was probably a decent bloke but, really, religious beliefs were too tainted to retain any sort of appeal as a bedrock of values.
Instead, I stumbled along, guided by a sense of fairness and unfairness – of the primitive (and imperfect) sort often displayed by children – until I discovered feminist theory.
Feminist thinking was my route in to recognising the importance of power relations in all their intersecting forms. My initial study of gender subsequently drew in other dimensions of relative power and privilege, including race, class, sexuality, ability and so on.
My values are now based on analysis of power. Who has it, who abuses it, who is abused, marginalised and disadvantaged by it? If I can analyse power on a situation by situation basis it can guide how I position myself. Always with the lesser powerful in challenging the more powerful. That then provides the cornerstone of my thinking about social justice. It's essentially an exercise in redistributing power.
So, yes, I would say, I have strong values, at least as strong as those a religion could have provided. Perhaps even stronger because I've been active in constructing and owning them. My values are very much part of my inner-self, and my inner-self (aka spirit) can be wounded. I can, in effect, become spirit-sick, and I can also act in ways that a religious person might recognise.
The journey to shape a value system is perhaps more fragmented and precarious when it's done outside a received framework, and available language can be inadequate, but I believe it is possible, and we can do it, and we can even guide our children to do it in their own ways.
What do you think and what comments would you make about values and where they come from?

Don't Panic! It's just a Bleeding Varicose Vein!
Varicose veins are most often condemned for the cosmetic repercussions they cause. No one likes the ropey, bulging appearance of an unhealthy vein, nor the webbed discoloration of spider veins. But, for the most part, this is where most concerns end, at least at the initial onset of vein disease. As pooling continues and the affected vein becomes increasingly more bloated, the concerns related to the condition of the vein grow. Will a varicose vein cause serious harm to your health? Probably not. However, there is the potential for bleeding from that vein, and this can be alarming.
Varicose veins may bleed if the overlying skin is injured, even slightly. Bleeding may occur spontaneously if the vein ruptures, as well, considering the weakness of the vessel. One of the most common areas where bleeding veins tend to be seen is around the ankle. The slightness and fragile nature of the veins in this area are susceptible to venous pressure, and may burst as a result.
Sit or lie down in a way that will allow you to elevate your leg higher than your heart.
Apply gentle, consistent pressure over the vein. Initially, this may be done with a hand or cloth. Once bleeding is under control, an ACE wrap may be applied over an appropriate dressing, such as a swatch of gauze.
If bleeding is severe, you may need to wrap your leg and go to your nearest emergency room.
A varicose vein that bleeds for any reason is a vein that needs to be treated. Dr. Reynolds of The Vein Clinic performs a number of different procedures to close off veins in which blood is pooling. Schedule your consultation for treatment at (803) 253-8667.


In 1997 a specialized department of consultancy was established, directed especially to economic consultancy. The main activity of the department is providing of consulting services for agricultural entities, especially in the field of economic consultancy and also technological consultancy and cross compliance. Further activities involve consulting within the Operational Programme Environment (compilation of operating rules, basic risk assessment regarding environmental damage and applications for supports for purchase of machines reducing ammonia emissions from animal production). Staff of the department is engaged in PRI presentation during exhibitions and contributes to publication activity of the institute.
Individual PRI departments and/or specialists in individual fields provide technological consultancy (personal, phone and e-mail contacts). Four consultants from PRI are registered and accredited by Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic and can provide consultancy in the framework of Rural Development Plant, in the area of agriculture, sub-area soil cultivation, plant production, animal production, optimization of agricultural enterprise management and phytosanitary measures in agriculture.

Governments, citizens, non-profits and the private sector have a role to play in responding to the refugee crisis.
Majd's dream of finishing his University degree in Economics was interrupted by the war in Syria.
Left with no choice but to seek refuge, he fled to Turkey in hopes of continuing his education and establishing a better future for himself. Even with his own dire situation, Majd chooses to support children and young adults like himself whose education has been disrupted as a volunteer teacher and translator at a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) community center in Istanbul.
It was there that he first heard about and applied for SAP's Refugee Code Week; quickly moving from translator to session leader, he now teaches coding skills to young kids.
Majd is one of the 22+ million people being forcibly displaced from their home countries by war and persecution in what turns out to be the world's biggest refugee crisis since the 1940s. Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey currently host almost 5 million refugees.
Younger participants (8-17) of SAP Refugee Code Week are introduced to "Scratch", a highly visual and playful coding program developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Governments, citizens, non-profits and the private sector have a role to play in responding to the refugee crisis. Businesses, with their ability to move quickly and scale innovation, can often take risks that other actors cannot afford to make on their own. One area in particular where innovation has the potential for large scale impact – while also delivering value to businesses and society -- is in providing refugees with high demand digital and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) skills.
ICT skills are a significant driver for both the economy and society. While ICT is one of the fastest growing industries worldwide, digital transformation in all industries is driving massive demand for highly qualified, tech-savvy workers. The Middle East is in dire need of skilled ICT professionals. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia alone had a shortage of 30,000 ICT professionals in 2014 underlining the high demand for capable ICT experts throughout the region.
Bridging this gap between thousands of refugees and thousands of unfilled ICT jobs in the Pan-European region and the Middle East has the potential to build a pipeline of talent for Middle East companies seeking talented employees to support their digital competitiveness.
SAP pledged its engagement at the World Humanitarian Summit (WHS) by endorsing UNHCR's efforts to unite private and public sector collaboration on the migrant refugee crisis. At a WHS panel session titled "The Role of Technology in the Humanitarian Response to the Refugee Crisis", we unveiled our refugee coding initiative, "Refugee Code Week".
"Refugee Code Week is a practical example on the role of corporations in impacting the lives of refugees," said Houssam Chahin, UNHCR's Senior Private Sector Partnerships Officer for MENA. "The global ICT skills will point to enormous career opportunities for young refugees. It will be an added value for the refugees themselves and their host communities."
With the extended nature of today's conflicts, refugee camps in the Middle East are developing into longer term settlements for millions of people. Under these circumstances, families need tangible solutions to help their young people get educated and equipped for employability.
This is what brought SAP to join forces with the UNHCR and the Galway Education Center to run hundreds of free coding workshops and online training courses for youth aged 8-24 inside refugee camps and in surrounding communities. Their goal: sustain a full life cycle of ICT skills support for all age groups. Taking place this October in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, the Refugee Code Week initiative aims to empower 10,000 youth with the coding skills they need to thrive in the digital economy.
The younger participants (8-17) will get introduced to Scratch, a highly visual and playful coding program developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, while older students (18-24) will delve into the realm of in-demand technologies: either web programming or SAP Business One, the business management software currently trusted by over 50,000 companies worldwide.
In preparation for October, experienced teachers and SAP volunteers have been hosting "Train The Trainer" (TTT) sessions during the World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul as well as in the Zaatari UNHCR refugee camp and several Universities in Jordan. These TTT sessions equipped participants with the necessary skill set they need to teach coding to their peers and/or children in their respective communities, thereby multiplying the number of students Refugee Code Week can reach.

Public Interest Clauses Raise Concerns with Merger Assessments
By Devon Jenkins on March 25, 2015 Posted in Competition Compliance Programs, Merger Notification & Review
The Competition Commission of South Africa ("Commission") has extended the deadline for the submission of comments on the recently published draft Guidelines on the assessment of public interest provisions in merger regulation under the Competition Act 89 of 1998 ("the Act").
Public interest clauses in competition law have been the cause of some controversy. Some argue that they have no place in competition law but should be dealt with by other social or policy agencies. Frédéric Jenny, chairman of the OECD's competition committee, recently commented however that where these clauses are deemed necessary for local social and industrial policy reasons, it is perhaps more sensible for competition authorities to apply and interpret them in an economic context rather than other national regulators.
In line with this approach, the draft Guidelines provide an overview of the Commission's analysis of mergers and the type of information considered by the Commission when assessing the public interest aspect of a proposed merger.
In terms of section 12A (3) of the Act, the Commission must consider the possible effects the proposed merger may have on the public interest, specifically:
a particular industrial sector or region;
employment;
the ability of small businesses, or firms controlled or owned by historically disadvantaged persons, to become competitive; and
the ability of national industries to compete in international markets.
The initial analysis is two-fold: first, the Commission must establish whether any positive effect in relation to any public interest grounds outweighs any anti-competitive effects. In theory, the Commission could approve an anti-competitive merger if the public interest grounds outweigh the anti-competitive effects and justify such an approval.
Second, the Commission is required to consider whether there are any substantial negative public interest effects that outweigh the pro-competitive effects of the merger.
The General Approach
The Guidelines set out the general approach the Commission will follow when analyzing the possible effect of a merger on the public interest grounds listed above.
The Guidelines categorize the General Approach into the following five sequential steps:
determine the likely effect on the particular public interest;
determine whether the alleged effect on a specific public interest is a result of that merger or is merger specific. In other words, is there a sufficient causal nexus between the merger and the alleged effect;
determine whether these effects are substantial;
consider whether the merging parties can justify the likely effect on the particular public interest; and
consider possible remedies to address any likely negative effect on the public interest.
This is of course a Guideline, and the Commission has discretion as to the approach followed when implementing.
The Effect on Employment
The Commission has in recent decisions focused its attention on the protection and advancement of employment. By illustration, seven of the ten conditionally approved mergers in 2014 were subject to conditions relating to employment.
Merging parties are required to declare all contemplated retrenchments, whether these are due to the merger or alternatively due to operational requirements. In addition to the five step General Approach set out above, the Commission's inquiry into whether the retrenchments are merger specific is double-barreled:
First, the Commission will consider factors such as the extent of the overlap in the merging parties' activities, rational for the transaction and the intention of the parties relating to employment and the target business.
Second, the Commission will consider the effect on employment for the general level of employment in that particular industrial sector or region. This is a secondary inquiry and the Commission will place more weight on the first line of inquiry.
The inquiry is aimed at establishing a reasonable link of causality between the retrenchments and the merger – this is sufficient to prove that the retrenchments are merger related.
Further, the Commission will consider the number of employees that may be retrenched; their skill set; the likelihood of alternative employment being found; the nature of the sector of the business and the predominant nature of the acquiring firms' business when establishing whether the anticipated effect on employment is substantial or not.
The onus rests on the merging parties to justify the effect of the merger on employment, with reference to the 'rationality' of the process which determined the figures for proposed retrenchments; whether the retrenchments are justified by an equally weighty and countervailing public interest argument and whether the parties have provided the Commission and the employees with sufficient information which enabled them to consult on all issues.

Former Shrewsbury Town striker on the reception he expects after Bristol Rovers move
The striker heads back to this former club today after making the summer switch
Elliot Owens
Bristol Rovers travel to Shrewsbury Town today looking to improve on a bad start to the season against a home side that are winless so far this campaign.
Rovers striker Stefan Payne, along with Alex Rodman, will return to their old club having both moved from New Meadow to the Mem over the summer.
The 27-year-old posted a message on social media criticising a select minority of fans after his move away from Shropshire and is not bothered how the club react to his return.
"It is 10% of people there and you are always going to get that wherever you go," said Payne.

SOME of the country's best and brightest surfers will be competing right here in Coffs Harbour after a new national competition was announced yesterday.
The Australian Open of Surfing will visit Coffs Harbour on November 29 as part of a minimum seven-leg tour of the east coast and provide professional and aspiring surfers with the opportunity to win prize money.
Surfing NSW CEO Luke Madden said the domestic tour has been tailored to help foster and nurture Australian talent and the vision was to recreate a national tour akin to past competitions.
"The 2020 Australian Open of Surfing Tour is the perfect platform for professional and grassroots surfers to come together in Australia to compete in a series of events in decent locations," he said.
"We really hope we can build this series each year into a prestigious title and tour similar to the national series events we used to see in the 80s and 90s."
The announcement of the new tour coincides with the recent news that professional surfing would not recommence until the end of 2020.
Local hope Rosie Smart was looking forward to the opportunity to compete in what would be the biggest surfing event to come to Coffs Harbour, on breaks she was very familiar with.
"I am really excited because Coffs is such a good place to hold a comp and there are a lot of fun waves," she said.
"I would love to surf at Park Beach because the waves really suit my surfing and it is similar to the waves at Sawtell, so I would to compete there."
Without the usual competitions, the 15-year-old has spent the last few months working on improving her technique on her home break at Sawtell.
But that has only just changed with Coffs Harbour Boardriders starting up again, meaning she can get in some more practice in a more competitive setting.
It is the second major sport to commit to the region in recent weeks following Cricket Australia's announcement a Big Bash League match between the Sydney Sixers and the Brisbane Heat.

Samsung announces another addition to its Galaxy line, the Galaxy Win. It's a mid-range phone that is aimed at providing a fast mobile experience for Smartphone users that don't have the budget or don't want to pay for much expensive Smartphones. Of course, that does that mean that because they're less expensive that they're less impressive because they are more than capable of competing at high level in the Smartphone world.
As what Smartphone users know, Galaxy phones have similar designs. That means that the front of the device is dominated by the display. Above the display are the front camera, earpiece and sensors. Below the display is the Home button flanked by 2 capacitive buttons. At the back sits the rear camera with LED flash and the speaker.
On the right side is the power button while on the left side is the volume rocker. On top you'll find the headphone jack while at the bottom is the port for the micro USB cable.
The Galaxy Win sports a 4.7" WVGA TFT LCD display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. The resolution is pretty low for a screen this size, that is why the display is a bit stretched out resulting to just 199ppi pixel density. Individual pixels can be spotted but only if you really look for it. Other than that, it's a pretty nice display where colors are accurate and the brightness is solid.
At the rear of the device is a 5MP shooter with LED flash. It has autofocus and includes features such as Geo-tagging, touch focus, and face and smile detection. It can shoot 720p videos at 15fps. It takes decent quality stills but it will be hard to capture a decent photo or video if the intended object is moving. The front camera, on the other hand, is good for self-portrait photos or video calling. To be able to enjoy fun video calling with family and friends, one only needs to subscribe to the many reliable VoIP providers available like RingCentral VoIP Services.
The Galaxy Win has Android 4.1.2 Jelly bean with features that include Smart Alert, Easy Mode and Motion UX. This version of Android is about a year into the market and high-end Android phones are already using the 4.2 version and waiting for the v5.0 to be available. Still this version of Android makes screen transitions smoother and opening of apps load without any lag.
If you want fast performance, you got it. Inside the phone is a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz and an Adreno 203 GPU. That translates to a phone with a snappy performance whether you are web-browsing, playing games, opening a certain app and/or multi-tasking.
The device will come in two different versions depending on the market – single SIM and dual-SIM. The dual-SIM is ideal for those who want to store their personal and business contacts in one phone but be able to sort them accordingly.
Powering the phone is a 2000mAh battery. The resolution may favor the small battery since it's not power-hungry. But the quad-core processor will at times be too much for the battery this big or this small and will obviously drain it much faster.
The Galaxy Win can connect to the web via its Wi-Fi connectivity. Share files to and from another device via Bluetooth. And can transfer files to and from a computer through the micro USB port and with the aid of a micro USB cable.
For a mid-range phone, the Galaxy Win has pretty decent specs and will definitely attract Smartphone users. Therefore, this phone is recommendable despite some of its missing dimensions.


Explore this beautiful walking track that leads from Kondalilla Falls down the escarpment into a lush rainforested valley then climbs up the ridge again to return. From the Kondalilla Falls car park, walk 100-metres downhill (with steps) to a large grassed picnic area with barbecues, picnic tables and toilets. Laze over a picnic then set out for a scenic walk. Follow the Picnic Creek circuit, walking through rainforest and open forest to a cool rock pool at the top of the falls. Continue on the Kondalilla Falls circuit, descending into lush rainforest as you walk down to the valley for the best waterfall view at the base of the falls. What goes down must come back up! As you climb the ridge, look for emergent bunya pines with their distinctive symmetrical dome shapes, dense stands of piccabeen palms and intriguing shapes of pink ash. There are over 300 stairs on the Kondalilla Falls circuit so you need to be reasonably fit and allow enough time to enjoy this steep walk. Leave enough time to complete your walk in daylight hours. This walk is a Grade 3 track (formed track, may have short steep hills and many steps, some experience recommended).

Satanists want nothing to do with Ted Cruz, even if he is 'Lucifer in the flesh'
One big problem, according to the Satanic Temple, is that Ted Cruz lacks compassion.
By Brittany Levine Beckman on April 30, 2016

First former Speaker of the House John Boehner calls him "Lucifer in the flesh" then a representative for the Satanic Temple says presidential hopeful Ted Cruz lacks compassion. It's been a tough week for the Texas senator.
After Boehner criticized his fellow Republicans' prickly nature while speaking at Stanford University on Wednesday night, The Friendly Atheist(Opens in a new window) blog reached out to the Satanic Temple for their thoughts on the matter. They want nothing to do with Cruz, said spokesman Lucien Greaves.
Boehner's comment is illustrative of how well past time it is to adjust our mythologies to reflect our realities.
Cruz's failures of reason, compassion, decency, and humanity are products of his Christian pandering, if not an actual Christian faith. It grows tedious when pedophile priests and loathsome politicians are conveniently dismissed as Satanic, even as they spew biblical verse and prostrate themselves before the cross, recruiting the Christian faithful. Satanists will have nothing to do with any of them.

Ouch. The temple, which has multiple chapters, "facilitates the communication and mobilization of politically aware Satanists, secularists, and advocates for individual liberty," according to its website.
Cruz, who is tirelessly trying to catch up to GOP front-runner Donald Trump, tried to sweep a five-state loss in the northeast primaries Tuesday under the rug by picking a running mate the next day. He declared former HP CEO Carly Fiorina as his pick for vice president (Fiorina dropped out of the presidential race months ago), a move many pundits have described as a last-ditch effort. It's especially odd to name a running mate before winning the nomination. But, Cruz said, he came to the decision after "a great deal of consideration and prayer." The Satanists are probably rolling their eyes at that one.
Cruz and his Tea Party comrades were indeed a pain for Boehner, who struggled to whip his party together in Congress. At Stanford, Boehner went on to bash Cruz after the Lucifer comment.
"Lucifer in the flesh," Boehner said when asked to describe Cruz, according to the Stanford Daily(Opens in a new window). "I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everybody, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life."
For his part, Cruz tried to come off as baffled when commenting on Boehner's critiques and attempted to paint the Ohio Republican as a Trump mouthpiece with Fiorina at his side at a news conference.
"I've met John Boehner two or three times in my life. If I have said 50 words in my life to John Boehner, I'd be surprised, and every one of them has consisted of pleasantries, 'Good to see ya Mr. Speaker.'"

We are delivering a key project which will help to future proof the state's transport network, and provide design support and direction for the major transport projects, including the Level Crossing Removal Project and the Metro Tunnel.
The Network Transformation Project (NTP) comprises two projects that form part of stage one of the Integrated Transport Network (ITN).
The first project is the provision of an approved device to transport Operational Control Systems (OCS) applications over an IP network instead of over the existing legacy Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) network.
A new analogue gateway device will be approved to transport OCS applications over an IP network instead of over the legacy PDH network, which will also be able to be used for the ITN in future.
The second is the development and delivery of IP/MPLS reference architecture designs for ITN and proof of concept testing of the design and supporting materials.
The ITN will provide a consolidated multi-purpose network that will support Victorian public transport operations well into the future, by replacing the existing infrastructure with a proven IP-based technology standard and selectively replacing copper-based connections to metropolitan train signalling.
