As a sex abuse scandal rocked the Roman Catholic Church, what did Pope Benedict XVI -- then a cardinal and Vatican official -- know, and when did he learn it? Watch the CNN investigation "What the Pope Knew," September 25 & 26 at 8 p.m. ET.
Edinburgh, Scotland (CNN) -- At a time when the Catholic Church is facing widespread anger over allegations of abuse among clergy, Pope Benedict XVI's official visit to Britain is being viewed by some Catholics as a chink of light in the seemingly endless gloom.
For 36-year-old Scot Rosemarie Stevenson, who suffers from cerebral palsy, his arrival will resume a unique relationship with the church that dates back to the last papal visit to these shores in 1982.
At the age of eight, she received her first communion from Pope John Paul II as he celebrated mass in Glasgow's Bellahouston Park during the Scottish leg of his tour.
The estimated 300,000 worshippers that day were captivated by the sight of Rosemarie being lifted from her wheelchair and carried in her mother's arms up the last few steps of the dais to be received by the pope.
"She was the first person ever to receive Holy Communion by a pope in Britain," her father told CNN.
"But it took us all by surprise and didn't really hit us at the time. You're carried away in the moment with thousands of people, the pope arriving in a helicopter, the television cameras.

"It's hard to understand because we're an ordinary family from Glasgow. It's amazing. She's traveled around the world on holiday and has been stopped by strangers who remember her moment."
Almost three decades on and the Catholic Church has invited Rosemarie to receive communion from Pope Benedict when he celebrates mass in almost the same spot on Thursday.
Why is Benedict coming to Britain?
"Rosemarie's heroic climb to receive communion from Pope John Paul all those years ago touched the hearts of a nation," a spokesperson for the Archbishop of Glasgow, Mario Conti, said in statement.
"It seemed appropriate that 28 years on, Rosemarie should have the chance to relive that dream."
For retired Glasgow teacher Frank O'Hagen, Rosemarie's experience was typical of the benevolent nature of Pope John Paul II. "He had a very refreshing and basic Christian philosophy," he said. "That came across in his ability to relate to people of all ages, particularly young people."
He recalled taking a party of school children to Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh during the same visit and comparing the atmosphere to a Beatles or Rolling Stones concert in terms of the excitement.
Thursday - Pope arrives in Edinburgh. Meets Queen Elizabeth II. Holds Mass in Glasgow's Bellahouston Park
Friday -- Visits Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth Palace. Delivers speech in Houses of Parliament
Saturday -- Meets Prime Minister David Cameron. Holds Mass at Westminster Cathedral. Holds prayer vigil in Hyde Park.
Sunday -- Holds Mass in Birmingham's Cofton Park. Meets bishops of England, Wales and Scotland.
He said: "There was a tremendous enthusiasm and a great sense of welcome. Although I remember Ian Paisley describing the pope as the 'antichrist,' any negativity was overshadowed by the sheer scale of the event."
Paisley, a veteran politician and outspoken protestant church minister in Northern Ireland, will again be in Edinburgh to protest against the visit by Benedict XVI, saying it comes at a time when "the Pope's church is very deeply divided because of the behavior of many priests within the church and his evident desire not to enter into this matter and deal with it."
Other critics of the visit point to the Vatican's policy on gender equality and homosexuality.
O'Hagen agreed the abuses committed by some members of the clergy are "lamentable and a tragedy," but he said the Church is also an easy target for detractors on a whole range of issues as Britain moves more and more towards becoming a secular society.
"Campaigners such as Peter Tatchell are right when they say if using contraception can stop the spread of AIDS then it should be encouraged. Medically this is correct."
"But a pontiff cannot come out and say this because there are huge ethical issues too, such as freedom of choice, abstinence and recognizing that we can't have immediate gratification for all our needs."
There's no doubt this comes at a good time for the Church.
--Teacher Frank O'Hagen
Whether people are opposed morally or because of the perceived burden on taxpayers, O'Hagen insists Benedict's trip will prove as popular as his predecessor's visit 28 years ago.
Anger awaits Pope on landmark visit
"There's no doubt this comes at a good time for the Church. There will be a groundswell of love and appreciation of his concern for his flock, as it were. This is a wonderful event in more than a religious way. This is recognition of a people not just of Catholics."
This was echoed by Catherine, a lawyer from Edinburgh, one of thousands of people gathering along the city's Princes Street to watch the "Popemobile" sweep by.
"Whether you're a Roman Catholic or not, this is putting Scotland on the map when it comes to the millions of people watching this visit across the planet," she said.
"As a child I remember the previous pope visiting Scotland and the excitement it generated. It would be a great pity if this kind of thing was stopped because some people felt it was too expensive. Embarrassing too."

Home Cricket Changes in Bio-secure rules by Cricket South Africa before India's arrival
Changes in Bio-secure rules by Cricket South Africa before India's arrival
The Indian team is set to depart to South Africa on the 16th of this month. After a lot of considerations and meetings with Cricket South Africa, the BCCI placed full faith in the bio-security arrangements for the team and agreed to send the India team on a shortened tour which will have no T20s. The T20s have been assured by the BCCI to be played at a later stage.
Now news has come that Cricket South Africa has laid out some changes to its bio-secure environment rules. According to the new arrangement, Covid infected players will be allowed to stay inside the bubble with the rest of the players. The player will be allowed to quarantine in the same hotel as long as he is 'clinically stable'.
All the players will be tested daily for Covid as told by Shuaib Manjra, CSA's chief medical officer to ESPNcricinfo. The tour holds a lot of value to Cricket South Africa as the Tv and media rights are expected to generate a revenue of R600 million. While the elimination of the T20 may have cost a hundred million Rand, the shortened tour will bring in much more revenue than the tours from Australia, England, and New Zealand.
South Africa is currently at Level 1 restrictions which has the most leniency in terms of travel, face masks, and public gathering. While the government has allowed only 2000 vaccinated people to be inside the stadium, we reported that CSA may be looking to allow for more spectators, subjected to the government's nod.
A leading South African publication has credited BCCI for allowing the tour and not pressing the panic button like the New Zealand and England boards did. The most powerful cricket board allowed India A to complete their 3 four day fixtures amidst the Omicron scare. Team India will start its South Africa campaign from the 26th of December.

Landlords, letting agents and property management companies
Several laws have been passed recently that affect landlords letting agents and property management companies. We have set out some of them below and there are links to more detailed advice. The subjects covered are:
Minimum energy efficiency
Tenants redress schemes
Indicating fees
General guidance for landlords and tenants
Other consumer protection law
New minimum energy efficiency standard
Since April 2018 a property that requires an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) can only be let on new tenancies, which includes renewals, if it has an EPC in band E or better. The law affects domestic and non-domestic premises, but Trading Standards only enforce it for non-domestic premises such as shops and offices etc.
Non-domestic premises
For existing tenancies in such premises, landlords have until 2023 to comply.
There are also many exemptions to the requirements. However, almost all require the landlord to register the exemption they are claiming with the government on the National PRS (Private Rental Service) exemptions register.
Central Government have provided Guidance on the requirements, claiming an exemption, and an email address for the register. If you believe you can claim an exemption, follow the guide on how to do so, and email the address given, even though it is described as a pilot.
Landlords of property with an EPC in bands F & G should speak to an energy efficiency adviser about their options, but should also contact the Planning Department if their property is in a conservation area, as this will affect their options.
A landlord of a non-domestic property who needs advice in addition to the guidance, should contact the Trading Standards Team:
Email: trading.standards@rbkc.gov.uk
Domestic premises
The site mentioned above also has advice for landlords of domestic premises.
Tenants' redress schemes
Letting agents and property management companies must join a tenants' redress scheme, or face a penalty of up to £5,000. The following run approved schemes:
The Ombudsman's Service (Property)
The Property Redress Scheme
Ensuring clients are aware of your fees
Letting agents and property management companies must display their fees and charges to clients. Failure to comply can result in a penalty of up to £5,000. For more information visit displaying your fees on the Business Companion website.
Tenancy deposit protection schemes
Landlords or letting agents must place a tenant's deposit in a tenancy deposit protection scheme if the home is rented out on an assured shorthold tenancy that started after 6 April 2007. There is more information about tenancy deposit protection scheme on the GOV.UK website.
The Department for Communities and Local Government has also produced information for tenants and landlords:
Know your rights - a guide for tenants
Tenancy agreements - a guide for landlords
Advice on consumer protection laws
There are other laws affecting traders in general, which also apply to agents. The Competition and Markets Authority published a PDF document, Key Principles for Lettings Professionals which is a quick guide to compliance with a broad range of consumer protection legislation:
Key Principles for Lettings Professionals
The Competition and Markets Authority have also published a more detailed document in PDF, Lettings guidance CMA31 which accompanies the quick guide:
Lettings guidance CMA31
Model agreement for a shorthold assured tenancy
The Department for Communities and Local Government has produced a model agreement for a shorthold assured tenancy as a PDF for use by landlords and agents. You are not obliged to use this, but you may find it useful:
Still unsure?

Most Beautiful Places to Visit in the World
Qazi Shahbaz — April 22, 2022 in Travel
The world is brimming with so many fantastic destinations and stunning places to visit that compiling a list of the top might be challenging. Consider a traveler who has never left his or her hometown for any reason. What would be the first destinations they would visit?
The list of the world's top places to visit must include renowned cities such as New York, Paris, and London, each of which is brimming with unique attractions and must-see locations. Additionally, the list covers individual landmarks, monuments, and locations that are all worth visiting on their own.
1. Peru's Machu Picchu
2. Arizona's Grand Canyon
3. Italy, Rome
4.Maui, Hawaii
5. Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
6. New Zealand
Machu Picchu, located in Peru's Andes mountains, is today thought to have been a revered royal retreat for the Incan monarchs. Built in the 15th century and abandoned less than a century later, the secluded site continues to astound visitors with its precisely connected, mortarless brickwork. Massive blocks of stone weighing several tonnes are properly linked together without the use of mud or cement.
The trek to Machu Picchu is normally initiated at the highland city of Cusco, which served as the Inca Empire's capital. Cusco is an enthralling city to explore; plan to spend a few days there before to or following your Machu Picchu excursion.
The Inca Trail connects Cusco and Machu Picchu. The entire climb takes five days, but you can begin sooner and undertake a one-, two-, or three-day section of the trail. The majority of visitors arrive by rail from Cusco, which takes approximately three and a half hours.
Machu Picchu has taken precautions to avoid overtourism by limiting the number of daily visitors. All guests must get a permit in advance of their visit. They can be reserved up to four months in advance via the Peruvian Ministry of Culture's reservation portal. Numerous websites, all of which are attempting to promote trips, do not provide this information.
This stunning site, one of the world's seven natural wonders, is located in the United States of America's state of Arizona. It's one of those breathtakingly magnificent locales that photographs and video simply cannot do credit to—its sheer vastness and expanse are difficult to understand.
With geology forming over the last two billion years, yes billion, it is thought that the 277-mile-long canyon began around five to six million years ago. It was formed by the Colorado River, which continues to flow through it, eroding the rock along its path. The Grand Canyon is up to 18 miles wide and is up to a mile deep in parts. Consider yourself standing on the precipice's brink, gazing down a steep rock wall about a mile to the river below.
The majority of visitors come to the area known as the South Rim. This is where a number of amazing hiking paths into the Grand Canyon begin, and along the rim road known as Desert View Drive, there are other great viewpoints. There are a variety of accommodations available here and nearby, ranging from tents to a rustic luxury canyon-side resort constructed entirely of wood. On the isolated North Rim, a few hotels are also available.
Numerous travellers get at the canyon by the historic Grand Canyon Railway, which departs from the Arizona town of Williams. The 64-mile rail line offers an enjoyable way to reach the canyon, complete with cuisine and live music. For those who would rather drive, consider our articles on travelling north from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon and driving south from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon.
The Eternal City resembles a massive, living museum. The visitor is surrounded by and immersed in thousands of years of history. It's a small city, and a three-day schedule covers the bare minimum of must-see attractions.
The Colosseum and surrounding Roman Forum; the Pantheon; and Vatican City, a separate country in the heart of central Rome, are all must-sees for any visitor.
Spend some time exploring Rome's outskirts as well. Consider a trek down a portion of the Appian Way, the ancient Roman expressway, lined with tombs, and a visit to one of the city's aqueduct remains.
If you're in the mood for some beach time after all that exploration, Rome's Lazio Coast offers a superb selection of beach villages. Escape the city's heat, hustle, and bustle by bathing in the Tyrrhenian Sea's cold waves.
This Hawaiian island provides visitors with a diverse selection of experiences. Surfing, dining on the beach at a five-star luxury resort in Wailea, riding a horse across a dormant volcano in Haleakala National Park, or hiking through a rainforest in the West Maui Mountains are all available. The natural environment is breathtaking—it is certainly one of the world's most beautiful islands.
There is something for everyone here in terms of accommodations, from rustic hippie bungalow bed and breakfasts to five-star luxury resort hotels. Wailea is densely packed with luxurious resorts; it's Maui's Beverly Hills on the beach. If you're staying here, make a point of venturing out and spending time in Kihei, the local hangout spot.
Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya is an incredibly biodiverse environment and a popular safari destination. It's a chance to view all five of Africa's "big five" creatures (lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo) on a single tour or, if you're lucky, in a single afternoon.
The protected Masai Mara National Reserve park area is vast, encompassing over 1,500 square kilometres of mostly grassland that stretches all the way to Tanzania's Serengeti plains. The most popular periods to visit are during the twice-yearly migrations, the most significant of which occurs in July and August. Over a million wildebeest and other animals traverse the area in massive herds in order to reach different grazing areas. The majority of guests arrive in Nairobi and then travel to the Mara in a small bush plane.
With its breathtaking natural beauty, friendly population, and recent popularity as a filming location for the Lord of the Rings films (among others), this island nation is one of the world's finest travel destinations. The biodiversity is astounding—it is believed that New Zealand was one of the last areas on the planet to be inhabited by humans.
Begin your visit in Auckland, the capital city, with its culture, history, and museums. Spend time on the water and at the beach—Waitemata Harbour is home to beaches as well as a variety of sailing and boating activities.
Visit Rotorua to learn about and experience indigenous Maori culture, and Queenstown to sample the country's diverse array of outdoor extreme action sports. Bear in mind that this is where bungee leaping originated.

Manchester United are showing an increasing interest in Fulham teenager Ryan Sessegnon, according to reports.
The starlet has been drawing a lot of attention from several top clubs in the Premier League recently, and is one of the brightest young talents in England at the moment.
Fulham are holding firm on their stance that the player is not for sale though, and have warned the big guns that it would take a lot of money to make the club even think about selling one of their prized assets.
Sessegnon has repeatedly been watched by Tottenham Hotspur in particular, who are said to have held an interest in the 17-year-old for little over a year now.
However, according to Sky Sports HQ's sources, Fulham are set to demand quite a bit for their star, and interested parties are likely to back away from a deal if this is the case. Reports suggest that they are even prepared to turn down an offer of around £25 million.
Manchester United are in the market for a wide player themselves, and Sessegnon is a player who can operate anywhere down the left flank.
Sky Sports News has also revealed that an inside source hinted at the possibility of United signing him while letting him remain at Craven Cottage on loan to continue his development, which has been going superbly well so far.
Despite only being 17, the youngster has already played 26 games in the Sky Bet Championship, and is currently the talk of the town. He played a part in England's superb win at the U19 Euros this summer, and clubs will no doubt attempt to test Fulham's resolve by joining the bidding war for him.
However, Fulham and their owners have made it clear that they have no intentions of letting Sessegnon leave before the end of the transfer window, and United and Spurs face a difficult task on their hands to convince the owners otherwise.

Want to know more about China?
Week in China delivers an easy-to-read review of the key stories
in business, society and the economy every Friday, straight to your inbox.
Keep up to date with a free subscription, courtesy of HSBC
In 2007 Xu Menghan – then a high school student in Anhui – compared himself to Don Quixote, saying that like the fictional Spanish character who tilted at windmills, he "is a fool who does not want to be silent". He was also a great admirer of Han Han, today a film mogul but previously a popular and controversial blogger who criticised many aspects of modern Chinese society (see WiC386). A decade ago Xu was penning his own critiques of China's education system. And as a means of raising awareness, he tried to score zero points on the college entrance exam (the gaokao) by pretty much leaving his answer papers blank.
As China Youth Daily points out, Xu "inexplicably" earned 100 points – enough to erode his protest platform but not sufficient for a college place. Since then he has worked in factories, the latest a sweatshop making lampshades in Zhejiang, where he sits with a machine tool repeating the same process 4,000 times a day.
The newspaper says that Xu now regrets his aping of Han Han a decade ago, especially as his friends from school have done so much better in life. So he has decided to retake the gaokao exam, but this time actually try and pass it with an aim to getting into a vocational school next year.
China Youth Daily offers this verdict: "It is undeniable there are still inadequacies in today's college entrance exam – for example, the theory of focusing only on scores affects the overall development of students… However, Xu's decision to retake the gaokao proves that that 'spring' of knowledge still exists and reminds us to continuously change ourselves."

January is probably the coldest month here in northern California. Time to wear warm sweaters, boots, and sip on hot drinks throughout the day. Here's a few pics around my town and the next.
The trees are all bare now.
yet endures the harshest weather.
and you're right, it was so good.
Frost and fog at the trail.
a mighty oak is waiting!
and take joy in the journey.
where everything was all lit up.
Off to a good start in the new year!
I love to drink hot chocolate when the weather is cold! It's been rainy here the past few days as well. Happy New Year Sheri!
Oh my, these photos of the trees are just spectacular! Love the foggy/frost ones too! Happy New Year!
Sheri I am always in awe of your amazing photography. Your coldest month is January, ours is February with much snow, ice and howling winds. I hope your Christmas was beautiful, ours was very nice, thank you so very much for stopping over to leave a New Years message. I am in Day 7 of dealing with the flu.. Sending you much happiness and health wishes for 2017.
Thinking of you, sweet lady, and wishing you a joyous and beautiful New Year!
Love seeing that frost and fog. BEAUTIFUL.
Wow you got a collection of great photos for winter. That decorated fence is really nice!! I bet your springtime comes early there.
I like the quote you shared, I am writing it in my journal.
Beautiful photos of California in Winter. Thank you for sharing.
You truly capture the beautiful. It is hard to picture it being cold given it is summer where I am.
Sheri, your photos are STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!! I just responded to your email this morning and answered some of your questions about how I take photos, but woman, YOU DON'T NEED any of my tips! Gorgeous depth of field with that tree and you've also given me an idea for a January wreath of roses! Your musings are stunning dear friend. How special you are.
Here in our country we too finally get winter started .
you have very nice camera and really amazing skills for capturing as your photos have an artistic shine within!
It is third day that our sky is hidden under the blanket of dark grey clouds , in afternoon sun showed up among the clouds and my son called me out in front yard and asked " mom is it moon or sun"? as sun was looking a round white ball as like me he too got cold .
Hppy new year to you and family !
Such pretty pictures Sheri! I hope that you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. I wish you all the best in the new year sweet Sheri!
Add me to your many admirers Sheri. Your photos are stunning, and achieve exactly what they should...they tell a wondrous story of the beauty of our world.
Happy New Year to you and yours, and forgive my absence. We gave been traveling and quite busy, but things are becoming a bit more settled now. Thank you for visiting and your well wishes.
Sheri, it's beautiful there. I never knew there was cold in California. All we see of CA from the movies is the sand and the sea.
What beautiful white and frosty photos you have taken for us Sheri. You are a real artist! Glad to see you have some winter in California too. Happy New Year my friend.
That church is so beautiful! And I love the garland with the pink. That might be one of the nicest I've ever seen.
Your gloom will release before our winter ends. Trust me on this!
Wow, these photos are amazing, Mom!
You wrote "Off to a good start in the new year!"
What glorious photo's you have shared.

Q: How to call this inner function? This is my JS file:
ezee.se/quickfilter.js
In an external file I am calling it like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="quickfilter.js"></script>

function refresh_the_list2()
{
quickfilter_mafiaafire.request_xml();
var status = document.getElementById("refre");
 status.innerHTML = 'Done! Use the above link to view the blocklist.';
}

but I keep getting this error:

Error: quickfilter_mafiaafire.request_xml is not a function

How do I call it so I don't get that error?

A: Looking at your code, my guess would be:
quickfilter_mafiaafire.main.request_xml();

since request_xml is defined as a property of quickfilter_mafiaafire.main on line 139.

Q: AEM infinite redirect loop after Author login via https I have an AEM author that sits behind a dispatcher, my apache server is configured to use a cert/key for SSL encryption. When I go to my project's https url which goes to the Author instance via the Dispatcher instance I am prompted with the usual Author login page. If I type in my credentials and click submit I then get stuck in a infinite redirect loop.
The first thing I did to troubleshoot this issue was to analyse my apache access logs to see if any 301s or 302s were occurring there, but after examination I see nothing of the sort, all I see are 200s.
"GET /libs/granite/csrf/token.json HTTP/1.1" 200 123 "https://bla.bla.bla/libs/granite/core/content/login.html?resource=%2F&$$login$$=%24%24login%24%24&j_reason=unknown&j_reason_code=unknown" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.122 Safari/537.36"

I then went back to my browser and tried this again and dug into my browser developer tools. From this it seems like AEM Author after authentication uses javascript to redirect you / => /index.html => /aem/start.html.
I then replaced my correct cert/key in my apache configuration with one that did not correspond to my domain (which renders it invalid). After a restart of apache I visited my https url (accepted the browser https exception) and this time when I was prompted with the Author login page I was able to input my credentials and login without an infinite redirect loop, normal Author behavior incurs.
From this troubleshooting I believe something involving the cert/key setup perhaps HSTS is creating this infinite redirect loop but I can't figure out what exactly is happening.
Any input on this issue is welcomed.
Thanks

A: When I look at the headers that were being set on that request for authentication I noticed the  header Cache-Control: max-age:=3600. Digging more into my apache configurations I noticed that I was setting expire headers ExpiresDefault   "access plus 1 hour". Once I removed that from the Author's Vhost configuration the infinite redirect loop went away.

Discovery of the Year award for research on blood pressure regulation
Biocenter Oulu has again awarded the best research discovery of the year. This year's Discovery of the Year award was given to a study on blood pressure regulation. The award was received by Doctoral Researcher, B.M. Roosa Rahunen from the Internal Medicine Research Group.
The Discovery of the Year 2022 award was received by Doctoral Researcher, B.M. Roosa Rahunen from the Internal Medicine Research Group (photo: Kulmakuvaamo).
Hypertension is the most important risk factor reducing healthy life years worldwide, as it increases the likelihood of many adverse cardiovascular events such as strokes and heart attacks.
Rahunen was first author on the paper, which was published in the high-profile Journal of the American Heart Association in March. Researchers showed how the nuclear receptor pregnane X (PXR), which senses the chemical environment of cells, raises blood pressure in both humans and rats when activated. PXR activation regulates the production of 4beta-hydroxycholesterol (4bHC) in the liver, and increased levels of 4bHC are linked with lower blood pressure. This is a previously unknown pathway involved in the regulation of blood pressure.
The discovery increases our understanding on the regulation of blood pressure, particularly overweight and obesity-induced hypertension. The study found that people with the lowest blood pressure had the highest levels of 4bHC. People with overweight and obesity, on the other hand, had much lower 4bHC levels than normal weight people. The finding may open up opportunities for the development of new antihypertensive drugs with a new mode of action, particularly targeted at people with overweight and obesity.
Discovery of the Year awards, especially for young researchers
Discovery of the Year awards have been presented at Biocenter Oulu since 1997. The annual Discovery event aims to raise awareness of the high quality science and research carried out by Biocenter's research groups. In particular, it is considered important to highlight young researchers. The main author of the winning publication will be awarded a certificate of honour and a small cash prize, and a number of other good publications and their authors will also be highlighted.
The Biocenter team leaders can submit proposals for the award-winning studies, but the actual evaluation and selection proposal will always be made by an external expert on request.
"The criteria for awarding the best research have been the same since the beginning. They focus on the high scientific quality of the discovery, the significance of the result and the originality of the approach. The research must have been carried out by a Biocenter Oulu research group and it must also be relevant for future research at Biocenter Oulu", says Pirkko Huhtala, coordinator of Biocenter Oulu.
"It was a great honour to receive the 2022 Discovery of the Year award. For a young researcher at the beginning of her career, such recognition means a lot. Receiving the award gives me more confidence, which I hope will bear fruit in research for a long time to come", says Roosa Rahunen.
The award-winning study is the 26th Discovery of the Year and received wide publicity both in Finland and abroad last spring when the University of Oulu announced it to the media.

Happy Shopping Games, and may the odds be ever in your favour!
Hi Florence..I tried to order 3 of your books through the link in your email (Amazon) but it tells me I will not receive it for Christmas and I'm not eligible for free shipping. Is there anywhere else I can order or purchase your book from. I live in Marystown but I would purchase it from anywhere in NL if I could get it before Christmas. Thanks..I can't wait to read your book and give it as a gift to my family members..I love reading your Blog!
Fast forward 8 years and I'm promoting a book that helps people get their happy and healthy back!
Read on about finding what you need inside yourself!
I would like the 5th one. That kinda fills your soul and there is no need to run after anything else.
This is awesome. Congratulations on the release of your book!! You have been a source of inspiration since I started my blog last year. Your power is vibrant.


Studies have consistently shown that people are more likely to understand and retain information that is conveyed visually rather than verbally or in print. I regularly receive requests for copies of the PowerPoint slides. So for those of you that have never seen one of my presentations on the value of InvestSense's proprietary metric, the Active Management Value Metric ™ (AMVR) 3.0, here is a simple explanation of how the AMVR can help you detect cost-inefficient actively managed mutual funds in your personal portfolios and 401(k) plan accounts and better protect your financial security.
Mutual funds ads and brokerage accounts often provide a fund's returns in terms of its nominal, or unadjusted returns. In our example, the actively managed fund's incremental, or extra, costs exceed the fund's incremental returns. This would result in a net loss for an investor, making the fund cost-inefficient and a poor investment choice. Furthermore, 67 percent of the actively managed fund's fee is only producing 1 percent of the actively managed fund's overall return. Yet another way of looking at the analysis – would you rather pay $31 for 15.92% in returns or $94 for an additional 0.16% of return?
In our example, the actively managed fund assumed slightly less risk (10.01) than the Vanguard index fund (10.37). As a result, the actively managed fund's returned improved slightly, but the fund failed to provide a positive incremental return and the fund's incremental costs exceeded the fund's incremental return. Once again, this double whammy makes the fund cost-inefficient and a poor investment choice.
Interestingly enough, funds that may criticize risk-adjusted performance numbers have no problem touting favorable "star" ratings from Morningstar, which bases its "star" rating on, you guessed it, a fund's risk-adjusted returns.
In my legal and consulting practices, we add two additional screens. The first screen is designed to eliminate "closet index" funds. Closet index funds are actively managed mutual funds that essentially track a market index or comparable index fund, but charge fees significantly higher, often 300-400 percent or higher, than a comparable index fund. Consequently, closet index funds are never cost-efficient.
The second additional screen InvestSense runs is a proprietary metric known as the InvestSense Fiduciary Rating (IFR). The IFR evaluates an actively managed mutual fund's efficiency, both in terms of cost and risk management, and consistency of performance.
The Active Management Value Ratio™ 3.0 (AMVR) is a simple, yet very effective, tool that investment fiduciaries, plan sponsors and plan participants can use to identify cost-inefficient actively managed mutual funds and thus better protect their financial security. All of the information needed to perform the AMVR calculations is freely available online at sites such as morningstar.com, fidelity.com, and marketwatch.com.

"Students learn from people they love", the title of this Opinion Column in last Friday's New York Times describes well what a Bixby education is all about – fostering meaningful and positive relationships for students with adults, peers and – most importantly – with their own passions. At the center of what makes Bixby "special" is a focus upon the process of learning, helping students build the habits and qualities that form a strong foundation to explore and learn throughout life, not just 5th grade. This process takes persistence and patience. However, we know from our almost 50 years of alumni that this foundation is powerful and effective. Teaching and learning at Bixby takes patience but it is well worth waiting for!

This post continues examination of long horizontal trains of dual-mode (towed/towing) AWE kiteplane gliders. Cross-country transport was one application identified. Virtues and methods of vertical lines were recently explored and in a similar spirit one sees unique properties of horizontal tensile structure and motion. Horizontal is the general direction of both wind and human transportation, but is orthogonal to gravity. A tether run axial to apparent wind develops minimal drag of any tether orientation, and run crosswind, maximal drag.
An interesting possibility with horizontal glider trains is maintaining flight across wind "deserts", areas of calm that would otherwise force grounding. The basic idea is to transfer energy from windy to calm zones as needed by kite-elevated long-lines. Dale Kramer tells us that a high performance glider can be towed with just 25 kilos of tug (at about 120 km/h). This is a baseline model for long polymer train tethers with high L/D gliders spaced every few kilometers. The toy kite train that reached the stratosphere gives us a rough proportion for tether to kiteplane. Presume the toy kite model to be about 1/20th scale, so full-sized gliders flying about 4 km will be spaced about 8 km apart to carry the tether well off the ground. These are crude estimates and hopefully the ignored dimensions mostly cancel.
Wind blows in a spectrum of wavelengths by combined mechanisms. Small waves are everywhere and the immediate challenge for early AWE systems is to gracefully persist through common lulls between wind wave peaks, without constant forced motoring or landing and relaunching. The lightest kites are clearly favored. The biggest wavelengths are planetary waves and the lulls between peaks are typically thousands of kilometers across and commonly take several days to pass overhead or even park for a season as persistent high-pressure zones.
Its looks marginally feasible to span moving planetary calm zones with horizontal long-lines of towed tethered foils. One hundred gliders spaced at 8 km would span 800 km, with a towing force requirement of 2500 kilos, plus tether drag--which we can guess will approximate or well exceed 50% of total drag before scale-limiting. The largest continental summer highs are a tough challenge for AWE and are generally better suited for solar-power. Another post will consider migrating "clouds" of tethered foils, as enabled by horizontal trains to follow wandering jet streams, while hop-scotching across fixed groundgen fields.

How to Convert from Grams to Milliliters?
Need to Convert Grams to Milliliters? Know your Substance!
One thing you need to know is this kind of conversion depends on the substance. The substances are not all created equal, some are heavier than others. For example, corn syrup is heavy, one milliliter of it weighs almost 1.5 grams. Cake flour is light, one milliliter of it weighs about 0.4 grams. There are substances even heavier than corn syrup or lighter than cake flour.
Does it mean the conversion is always cumbersome and there is no easy answer? No, it does not! Read on.
What is The Most Typical Substance? It is Water. And it's Easy.
Water is probably the most typical substance on Earth. What's good about it? The conversion from grams to milliliters for water is extremely easy. One gram of pure water is exactly one milliliter. Nice, huh?
The second good thing is many if not most liquid things we use in our everyday life are water-based. That means they weigh close to water and unless we care about high precision, we can use the same conversion. For example, one milliliter of sea water weighs 1.02 grams, one milliliter of milk weighs 1.03 grams. Not exactly one gram, but do you always care about such a small difference?
Please don't forget, this chart is exactly correct for pure water. It your substance is close to water, e.g. a water-based solution, the chart will be also applicable, but the actual result might be a bit off. Do not use this table for substances that are not water-based.
What if my substance is different?
Cooking Ingredients Converter. This converter covers most typical cooking ingredients.
Weight to Volume Converter. This one covers many other substances that are not food.

They usually occur in small flocks often associated with starling species in savannah areas that are dominated by Vachellia and Baobab trees, located in the northern parts of southern Africa (North West Province, Limpopo and Botswana and Zimbabwe). They also occur further north, as far as southern Sudan, Kenya and Tanzania. They breed colonially in these Vachellia species and other trees and their nests are constructed mainly by the males using large thorny twigs.
They also have adapted to build nests on manmade structures such as windmills, power pylons and telegraph poles. Each nest has more than one nest chamber with short tunnel entrances. Nests clutch size ranges from 2 to 4 eggs and the egg incubation period is about 14 days (Vernon & Dean 2005).
Red-billed Buffalo-weavers used to occur in the Vachellia erioloba (Camel Thorn) savannas near the Bloemhof Dam area in the Hoopstad District. Specimens of this species were collected in Bloemhof area by Kotie Herholdt in August 1985 and November 1986. This species was reported in the First Atlas of bird distribution in the Orange Free State (Earle & Grobler 1987). This distribution data was incorporated into the first South African Bird Atlas Project (SABAP1) that was initiated in 1987.
This species is currently extinct in the Free State and was not recorded during the SABAP1 or more recently during the SABAP2 project (from July 2007). However, during the Birds in Reserves Project in the 1990s (http://birp.adu.org.za) they were recorded between the months of March and May at Sandveld Nature Reserve near the Bloemhof Dam. The current SABAP2 distribution map (http://sabap2.adu.org.za/species) shows their distribution mainly in the Northern Cape and western North West and Limpopo areas. Apart from observations made during field work by the National Museum during the past 30 years in the Hoopstad/Bloemhof areas, no other observations have been made of this species in suitable habitat.
Deforestation identified as the likely cause of the extinction
The skin and skeletal specimens of the weaver is the only current evidence of the occurrence of this species in the Free State (Fig 2). A possible reason for the local extinction of the Free State population was established as the short period during which conditions were favourable for breeding. A more likely scenario is the deforestation of large tracts of camel thorn savannah for the purpose of agriculture and collection of firewood.
Other species that are also dependant on this habitat and which are endemic to the Hoopstad/Bloemhof area of the Free State include Pygmy Falcon (Kimberley area also), Magpie Shrike, Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill, Groundscraper Thrush, Yellow-throated Petronia, Lilac-breasted Roller and others which have a wider distribution range (e.g. Sociable Weaver and others). All these species occur mostly in association with these camel thorn savannah areas that have large trees for nesting and foraging sites.
The value of museum specimens is illustrated by current distribution data of birds as well as historical distribution records from regions where they are currently extinct. In our study skin collection there are several examples of specimens collected (e.g. Brimstone Canaries from the Zastron District) from certain areas in the Free State and rarely reported today by the birding community or citizen scientists.
The Ornithology Department regularly undertakes field trips in the Free State to collect distribution data of birds and to expand their study skin and skeletal collections. These collections are widely used by scientists for genetic, avian distribution and morphological studies. If any members of the public are interested to participate in the SABAP2 or any citizen scientist projects they are welcome to contact the National Museum in Bloemfontein.

The Free State Buffalo-weaver specimen collected near the Vaal river west of Bloemhof Dam, Hoopstad District on 28 November 1986. This species is locally extinct in the Free State and last observations were made during the 1990s at Sandveld Nature Reserve (similar area than specimens). Historical distribution data again shows the value of Museum specimens.

What would we say about meteorologists unable to foresee major hurricanes devastating humans beings and their creations, like towns and houses, whirling them into the air to crashland them far away? We might accept their inability to do anything about it, but would we accept the absence of any early warning? No, and they are fairly good at those warnings. No reason to suspect them of enjoying being in the eyes of hurricanes, nor to be paid by the tourist industry not to scare people away.
By the same token, what would we say about physicians unable to foresee a major pandemic, killing millions? Would we accept the absence of early warning, even if we have a dim view of their ability to intervene successfully? Answer: we would not. Massive inability to see links between smoking and lung cancer, or between sugar-fat-salt excess and obesity, is held against them. Vicious people even relate that inability to unwillingness to give up own smoking and eating habits, to be paid by the tobacco industry for no warnings and by pharmaceuticals for false warnings.
Again by the same token, what would we say of economists, specialists in the science of economics–the same to the economy as meteorology to the atmosphere and medicine to the human body–unable to predict a major catastrophe like the current crisis in the economy, devastating the livelihood of millions? There were voices, like that of a Robert J. Shiller, but few and far between. Might we not say, or think, that the economy is bad, the science of economics is worse, but worst are the economists themselves?
For what do we have people who so early in their lives reach that collective level of shared incompetence? Do they enjoy crises and not warn others to keep for themselves the good early stages, before the peak? Hardly, their business incompetence is proverbial.
Are they paid not to issue warnings so that speculators can enjoy the upturn before common people pay for the downturn, with losses and stability bailouts to flatten the curves? Well, that may sound more like it. But hardly bribed, more relied upon to praise the market as long as the going is good, meaning for those at the top, and to keep silent if a crisis for those at the top is on the way, praying for the return of the upturn. For the rich.
However, that assumes they knew all along what was coming, or suspected so, but were dishonest. Intellectually competent, but morally bankrupt, afraid of losing the confidence of those at the top, of not being in, being unpublishable, weird lefties or worse.
Many of them might prefer that conclusion to the opposite: morally normal, but intellectually incompetent. Theirs is not a science but a fraud since they started their model building based on centuries old mathematics modeling centuries old mechanics. To put the finger at the key sore point: they started worshipping the equilibrium, looking at the newtonian universe governed by three laws. A lot is happening, yet there is overriding order in that giant system of force and counter-force. Identify that order!
Scientific minds are geared to engage in that exercise, to abstract away from the reality that meets our senses, and meets or insults our needs so we die of starvation, to a level high enough to harbor an order. Those who die for lack of supply since they have no demand (articulated in cash, not in need) do so according to the law of demand-supply equilibrium, unable to pay the price. The system is found at a market level producing price equilibria, not at the human level of human beings not satisfying their needs.
But even so they fail to see massive disequilibria coming, like between a wilting real economy and a blooming finance economy because of their axiomatic belief in the market as self-regulating.
Imagine the science of the atmosphere had fallen into the minds of economists programmed to believe in a self-regulating atmosphere. There would be breezes as the sun moves from rising to setting, but any serious build-up because of overheating would be counteracted by cooling winds coming to the rescue. No need to bribe such people programmed not to see massive discontinuities, quantum jumps, positive–not only negative–feedbacks. Their minds are untrained to accommodate such phenomena anyhow.
Or, imagine the science of the human body being handled by economists who believe in the body as self-regulating. Like for the atmosphere they are right to a certain point: some exposure to trauma, microorganisms, carcinogens, stress and strain is met with some resistance. The human immune system creates counter-forces, so does a helpful social and natural context. But the exposure may be directed at the resistance capacity itself, like psycho-warfare; and the resistance may generate more exposure, like in a war with violence breeding violence. And yet there are some regularities even in these monstrosities of human suffering.
Chaos mathematics, with self-reinforcing disequilibria, is so much better at this than the continuity mathematics of economics. But economists are programmed by their lukewarm middle class way of life to allocate ten pounds to fill a shopping basket, not by the freezing point of the poor whose lives are slipping away, nor by the boiling point of the board room deciding massive short-selling to kill uncooperative competitors. Differential equations are cut out for their lives. Ruled out are singularities, do not divide by zero even if that is where reality starts, catastrophes.
Economists should use the crisis to reflect on how they are programmed, then on economics, then on the economy, not the other way round. The way to survival passes through major reprogramming.

INDUSTRY NEWS: Strong support for ICF canoe ocean racing world championships in Lanzarote
More than 250 athletes are expected to compete in next month's ICF canoe ocean racing world championships in Lanzarote, Spain, underlining the growing popularity of the sport around the world.
The strong entry numbers come despite some powerful ocean racing countries, including Australia and New Zealand, still being severely restricted by international travel rules. Organisers have been impressed by the enthusiasm of athletes wanting to paddle internationally again after more than 12 months of next to no competition. The ICF world championships were originally scheduled for last year, but had to be postponed because of Covid.
"We know how passionate our canoe ocean racing community are about their sport, so we should not be surprised to see so many athletes have already entered next month's competition," ICF ocean racing committee chairman, Mario Santos, said.
"But of course, after such a difficult time globally, and with many countries still struggling, there was always going to be a question mark about events this year. But the athletes have voted with their feet, and this world championships is sure to be a triumph.
"The attraction of paddling at Lanzarote, which is experienced at hosting top level ocean racing events, I am sure has enticed many athletes to sign up. But also just the opportunity to once again take on the world's best."
The 2021 ICF canoe ocean racing world championships is scheduled for July 4-6, and will feature elite races for both men and women, as well as U23 and masters categories. Strict Covid protocols will be in place to protect all participants.
"The organising committee of the 2021 ICF Canoe Ocean Racing World Championships sets to organise a safe and top tier event," the executive director of world championships, Jose Maria Garcia Riolobos, said.
"With our experience of organising the four previous editions of the Atlantic Ocean Surfski Lanzarote, we will provide the best and safest conditions for the development of this world championships."
More information about the world championships can be found at the event website and at the ICF official event website.

Match Predictions and Betting Odds
Chelsea's last Premier League Game
In their last league match, Chelsea subjected Liverpool to their fifth successive loss at home via a stunning goal by Mason Mount, a curler into the bottom corner of the Liverpool goal on 42 minutes. The scoreline would have been better still if Chelsea's forward Timo Werner had not had a goal disallowed via VAR for offside by the slimmest of margins. The result helped push Chelsea into the top four on the points table, 11 points clear of defending champions, Liverpool.
West Brom Albion's Last Premier League Game
West Brom lost 0-1 to Everton at home in their last league game. With no goal up until 63 minutes, the match appeared to be heading for a draw. On 64 minutes, Gylfi Sigurdsson, introduced as substitute for Abdoulaye Doucoure, took a corner. He flicked in a perfect cross for Richarlison to power home with a header. West Brom were unlucky not to have an equaliser in the final seconds when a goal was ruled out by VAR.
Last Match Between West Brom Albion and Chelsea
On 26 September 2020, West Brom hosted Chelsea at the Hawthorns. They went 2-0 up thanks to a brace of goals by Callum Robinson in the first half. At the break, Albion led 3-0 after Kyle Bartley scored a third. After a woeful showing in the first half, Chelsea fought back after the break. Mason Mount scored on 55 minutes to pull a goal back. After substitute Callum Hudson-Odoi had scored to make it 3-2, Tammy Abraham got into the act with a late equaliser to help Chelsea take away a point from the game.
The head-to-head stats favour Chelsea who have won 43 and lost 34 of their past games against WBA.

Bookmaker's odds favour Chelsea who attract odds of 3/13. By contrast, odds of 15/1 are offered on a WBA win. The probability of a draw is reflected by odds of 25/4.
In our West Bromwich Albion vs Chelsea match prediction, we believe that Chelsea will beat WBA in the English Premier League match on April 3.
We expect a one-sided game in which Chelsea are likely to outclass WBA, given the current form of the two sides as reflected in recent results.

Here is the puzzle all sod farm managers try to solve: With a set amount of acres, how do you speed up the harvest, in order to get more cutting (and more sales) out of your farm? The answer? Use Growth Products' Fast Start Sod Production Program.
This special sod program utilizes technologically advanced liquid fertilizers, 100% organic amendments with natural growth hormones, and biological disease controls to speed up the production process. As an example, it usually takes almost a year from seeding to harvest Floratam sod. But with Growth Products you can accelerate the harvest to 7 - 8 months. Over a 3 year period, you can harvest one full extra cutting.
Growth Products' sod program includes Companion, Essential Plus, Nitro-30 SRN, and Iron Max.
Companion® Biological Fungicide contains beneficial rhizobacteria which protect turf from a broad range of root and foliar diseases including Anthracnose, Brown Patch, Dollar Spot, Summer Patch, Fusarium Patch, Pythium and Phytophthora. Companion also meets BMP requirements.
Essential Plus is an organic biostimulant that produces a healthy root system from ribbons, sprigs and seeds; stimulates tillering of grass; improves soil CEC; and speeds seed germination.
Nitro-30 is Growth Products' 30-0-0 liquid fertilizer. It provides a steady, manageable growth by consistently feeding nitrogen without pushing growth, and is a safe, non-burning source of nitrogen.
Iron Max AC 6% 15-0-0 rapidly enhances green color while improving turf quality. Its chelated iron and manganese have an ideal 3:1 balance. Use before harvest for long-lasting green color.
