How a minor criminal conviction can take away appeal rights.
Karen Kwan Anderson – Pace Immigration: Last year, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) announced measures to remove "foreign criminals" from Canada who have received a sentence of six months or more arising from a criminal conviction. Currently known as Bill C-43, the proposed legislation named the Faster Removal of Foreign Criminals from Canada Act. The bill is not yet law.
In addition to impacting permanent residents of Canada, the proposed law affects temporary residents of Canada, such as visitors, students and foreign workers. There is also a significant impact upon permanent residents of Canada.
While the intent of preserving public safety is paramount, what is not quite accurate with the phrase "foreign criminals" is that the persons whom the proposed legislation aims to remove include permanent residents who have lawfully been admitted to Canada. If passed, the above noted Act will adversely impact ordinary individuals who have lived in Canada since childhood.
Under current law, Section 36(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) subjects a permanent resident to deportation if they receive a conviction for an offence committed under an Act of Parliament that is punishable by a maximum term of at least 10 years imprisonment, or they have received a jail term of more than 6 months for an offence committed under an Act of Parliament.
they have a minor conviction, ie. shoplifting?
An example of an "Act of Parliament" is the Criminal Code of Canada. Even if a permanent resident never serves actual jail time but instead receives a sentence that is suspended, pays a fine, performs community service, and/or completes probation, he or she is subject to enforcement proceedings by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), which is the enforcement arm of CIC.
Consequently, falling under section 36(1) makes a permanent resident inadmissible to Canada due to serious criminality and they become "reportable" to CBSA. Whether the permanent resident pled guilty or received a conviction after a trial is irrelevant in the immigration context; what matters to CBSA is that there was a finding or admission of guilt which triggers enforcement.
Currently, permanent residents who receive a deportation order due to serious criminality have the right to appeal such order, as long as they have received a sentence of less than 2 years. You may have heard the phrase "2 years less a day". This phrase takes on significant meaning to a permanent resident who wants to remain in Canada despite having a criminal record. While a permanent resident likely cannot appeal the legal validity of the criminal conviction, they can appeal a deportation order on the basis of sufficient humanitarian and compassionate grounds.
Conversely, a permanent resident who receives a sentence of two years or more loses the right to appeal a deportation order.
The proposed Faster Removal of Foreign Criminals from Canada Act shrinks the two year provision to 6 months. This means permanent residents who receive a sentence of six months or more lose their right to appeal a deportation order. This means that permanent residents who receive minor convictions for offences such as shoplifting, assault and drug possession offences may be deported without a further hearing of humanitarian and compassionate considerations.
I have represented permanent residents who received deportation orders because they were convicted of various offences under the Criminal Code: drug possession, fraud, assault, possession of a weapon, break and enter, and others. However, because they received sentences of two years or less, their right to appeal the deportation orders was preserved. They were overjoyed when their appeals were allowed after proven compliance with stay conditions.
The individuals I have met were not hardened career criminals. They stumbled and committed offences either due to addictions or association with other influences. The offences were isolated or due to a lapse in judgment. They underwent treatment with proof of rehabilitation. They were educated, volunteered, and established themselves with jobs, families, friends, property, savings in Canada. They had been in Canada as landed immigrants since childhood and had no link to their countries of birth. If returned to their home countries, they would not find gainful employment or enjoy any sustained livelihood comparable to the standard of living in Canada.
Is it fair to take away the right of appeal and send an individual back to a country to which they no longer have any connection, simply because they have a minor conviction, ie. shoplifting?
All persons in Canada – regardless of immigration status – receive procedural protections from the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Section 7 states that "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice". "Fundamental justice" means fairness, due process, and equity.
The proposed Faster Removal of Foreign Criminals from Canada Act threatens procedural protections because of the inherent unfairness arising from the consequence of imposing inadmissibility upon permanent residents who have minor criminal convictions.
If it becomes law, the proposed Act would likely not pass a Charter challenge. Our democratic values as enshrined in the Charter would not allow the existence of such injustice.

Time is fast running out to get preparations done for hard times. Unemployment is rising above 10% and headed for Great Depression levels. The credit crisis is still very much alive, and many large "zombie banks" will fail this year.
IF YOU WANT TO BE PREPARED, CHECK THE INDEX IN THE LEFT COLUMN!
There are over 1800 pages on the web site covering all aspects of preps.
Obama's Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve are effectively creating money out of thin air in a vain attempt to stem the tide of cascading defaults, but there are too many leaks in the dyke to prevent the flood financial devastation from washing over the country. The $50 Trillion of wealth destruction in the past 15 months has so far soaked up the newly created greenbacks, but the repeated Trillion Dollar "stimulus" and "bail out" packages of the Obama/Pelosi Administration threaten to turn into a full-fledged hyperinflation. At that point it will be extremely difficult to stockpile anything as simply scrounging enough to live on will be a real challenge. The time to prepare is before we are deep into the "Greater Depression."
One of the main problems in getting prepared now is a shortage of supplies - people are getting what they need as quickly as they can. Garden seeds are selling out very fast as people prepare to put Victory Gardens in back yards. Pre-packaged storage foods are out of stock from many of the large vendors, but this website shows you how to prepare your own. Other supplies such as defensive and hunting firearms and ammunition, reloading supplies and equipment, are in very short supply and the prices are rising daily.
America could become a 3rd World nation overnight. Don't believe me? Read Survival In the City. Or the report from the American Trucking Associations ("When the Trucks Stop, America Stops") about the incredibly fragile "just-in-time" inventory system in America - the actual critical supplies are really "warehoused" in 18-wheelers! A shut down of truck operations as a result of a banking crisis, terrorist attacks, EMP or pandemics would, according to the report, have "a swift and devastating impact on the food, healthcare, transportation, waste removal, retail, manufacturing, and financial sectors." "Significant shortages will occur in as little as three days, especially for perishable items following a national emergency and a ban on truck traffic. Minor shortages will occur within one to two days. At convenience stores and other small retailers with less inventory, shortages will occur much sooner."
The concepts involved in self reliant living are simple. The implementation is not. It takes dedication and effort to prepare for adversity. The beneficial need of prudent preparations are self evident. With proper preparedness comes security and peace of mind. Problems will slide away as you enable yourself to believe in your ability to just live without fear and struggle. You will not have to rely on government handouts, a community shelter, a food line, or daily onerous trips laden down with milk jugs to the county water tanker truck if available. Those who are not prepared will be controlled. Those who are prepared can live free. The choice is yours to make.
An excellent reason of why people should prepare was sent to me by a reader of this web site. Click here, and see if you can fault his logic.
So, how does one become prepared? Preparation is more than reading a book on how to identify edible wild plants, written by an armchair theorist whose worst nightmare is not finding a parking place for his Volvo in front of his favorite Starbucks. Real preparation is work - hard work - and it is not free. This web site is free, and it prints to over 1,800 pages, so clicking the links at the bottom of this page will take you to hundreds of individual pages, all within this one web site.
EndTimesReport.com is a guideline for preparations for virtually any future calamity, but we are not so arrogant as to tell you that skimming through this site in one night is the salvation to your survival needs...you can hear that from the city slickers dreaming about how wonderful life would be if we all lived in harmony in nature and food magically appeared on the table three times a day. Self reliant living is a lifestyle, not a weekend game! Real preparations take a lot of thought and action on your part. Much of what you need to learn is timeless, so I need not update or revise those sections: canning butter or properly preparing grains for storage are not fashion statements and the methods used do not change with the political winds. If you can master the basics, you are vastly ahead of 99% of the population.
Preparations are valuable for "personal" catastrophes as well as large, national events. Cheryl, a reader of this web site, wrote to me with a list of the value of preparations for personal disasters. I cannot improve on her reasoning, so I present it as she wrote it.
You, just you as an individual or family group, have to take action, really do something, to prepare on your own for your own survival. I can help with the wisdom that comes from having lived a self reliant lifestyle, having made the mistakes, purchased the products that do not work, and point you in the right direction for the best preparations at the least cost, and I can show you photos with the proof that I have done it myself, and therefore it is possible. The rest is up to you.
I started this website in 2000 for the purpose of helping people prepare for the very hard times to come, assuming a lack of reliable electricity as a household convenience. But there was more, as lighting and heat without electricity had been available in the Victorian Era before the advent of readily available electricity in every home. Kerosene lamps. Not the cheap type of flat wick lamps made in China that are sold in every hardware store, but the more reliable and vastly more efficient center draft lamps invented in the early 1880's. The volume of information on that subject required a different website devoted to kerosene lamps and heaters. At www.MilesStair.com you will find more information on kerosene lamps and heaters than is available on all other websites in the world combined. Please click the link above see and experience the fabulous world of Victorian Era lighting.

Movie Review: TransFatty Lives (2015)
Roberto Montiel
Poo-Review Ratings
Stay Away Don't Bother Seen Better Not Bad See It
"With the hot blood of youth, of love crossed long ago;
And I took all the blame out of all sense and reason,
Until I cried and trembled and rocked to and fro,
Riddled with light. Ah! when the ghost begins to quicken,
Confusion of the death-bed over, is it sent
Out naked on the roads, as the books say, and stricken
By the injustice of the skies for punishment?" — W. B. Yeats
Unable to move, or slowly losing his ability to do so, his muscles conspiring against his motions, one by one his nerves refusing to listen — all motions of order unwaveringly overruled — Patrick O'Brien (aka DJ TransFatty) directed, starred, produced and edited this strikingly moving documentary starting at the point in which he slowly stopped taking decisions over his own body, for his body decided to stop before him. His journey to stillness is what this movie is about: TransFatty Lives, and that much moves.
A man in love with irony, fascinated with the most absurd sides of life, Patrick embraces the paradox that drives this work. He started to film this project at the moment in which he first detected there were serious mobility difficulties, and thus we witness the moment in which he is diagnosed with ALS (famous for Lou Gehrig — even more famous due to Stephen Hawking) and is given between 2 to 5 years to live. He was 30-years-old. He just turned 41 and has finished a movie documenting how his body gradually stopped moving.
Pre-ALS Patrick was very much taken by his alter ego: TransFatty. He was an enigma for most of the many people who cared about him. This enigma embarks on this project driven by the desire to come clear to his son, conceived in a relationship he started already halfway through that 2 to 5 year span. It is the love for his son, the desire to unwrap the riddle, to shed some light to it however much light was the source of all riddles for him before, that drives Patrick to document his life, to share it with his son, to show him who his father was while he is around to show it.
This letter is as well the narrative anchor that prevents the documentary from drifting. Consistent with his previous oeuvre, O'Brien keeps with the narrative neobaroquism that has characterized most postmodern works of art. Irregular, messy, oversaturated, and, more importantly, over-polarized, TransFatty Lives finds its narrative greatness in its punctilious use of counterpoints, in its rhythm, in its tone, in its texture and even in its quality — which, as a whole, works wonderfully.
Yet the enigma coming out of its existential cover, who before being diagnosed always expressed the urge to be beheld, but never opened, unknown at its very core, transforms this movie experience into a self-exploratory exercise addressed to that piece of his soul his son turns out to be. The other guy, TransFatty, the Internet celebrity searching for virality, for the ever growing desire to become a viral enigma that millions would aspire to solve out, gradually disappears in front of our eyes. The "watch me" order that Patrick issues at the beginning of his film slowly transforms into a compassionate plea, once we see him coming to terms with the sentence, which is his sentence.
I must say that there is a personal connection with Patrick, not only in terms of his disease, which has affected people for whom I deeply cared about, but mainly in terms of his pre-diagnosis life, which resonates close to home. Being a kid from the suburbs, a spawn of the sprawl, I cannot say enough how much I can relate to that boredom he expresses at the outset of his journey and to the ensuing desire, need "for something to happen," regardless that "something" may be actually harming, because such event would give us something to tell a story about, and would potentially shake that boredom off.
The greatest challenge for any striving creativity is having to overcome its own sense of comfort, the matter of which all suburbs are made of. It is not so much the challenge of finding our own voice, but of feeling there is not anything worthy to say with it. This is the story of all artists arising at the brink of the suburban edges. Most of these specimens become their own enigmas, for they are the first who ignore the answers dwelling at the hither side of the puzzles in which their lives have turned. Typically, most of these artists end up making art out of their own existence; they become their work and their body of work — quite literally so. We do.
Then let us say that something really bad ends up happening to us, the question that will immediately emerge as we realize how much this event ends up changing us is: Why me? The journey that goes from this initially arrogant and ultimately incoherent line of questioning to total resignation, to an unconditional form of acceptance that even borders with consolation, is what has made the template for most of the great suburban stories that have ever been made — when we go from "Why me?" to "Shit happens," It is, in O'Brien's words (paraphrasing his therapist): "Enlightenment by shotgun."
We thus see how Patrick starts to come to terms with his disease when he notices how much credit he receives as a person once he has become a visibly condemned man, a harmless individual to whom everybody is nice, for he bears the kind of suffering he neither merited nor deserved, (un)just randomly posited. Being visibly damned thus works to his advantage when meeting other people, perfect strangers who are good to him just for the very fact that he is overtly dying. One of those crazy human responses we will never manage to understand — that must be taken as they come.
A better person thus emerges that allows for a shift of focus on things that are actually important. "What if it is a beautiful disease?," asks Patrick, acknowledging, embracing himself the more he lets go of his own body: "What if the more physically disabled I become is inversely proportional to my journey inward?" And how important is this question when we recognize this is a journey we will all be taking sooner or later — even though we keep deferring over and over again. The later the better.
Looking at this terrible disease as a blessing, as an eye-opener, is one of the strongest points that sticks in us as TransFatty Lives and goes on living. It is inside this illness that Patrick actually found love, which, as his partner at the time and the mother of his child defines, amounts to very much "living life the best we can." When his son enters the scene, Patrick finds the exact opposite of his situation and finds all the more reason to seize life, to seize hope at the midst of his sentence, for it is only then that, at 33 (oh perfect capicua) he's found the Ying to his Yang. On one end, there's a man steadily losing his ability to move, to control his body, while, on the other end, there's a child increasingly developing the capacity to move, to control his. When the muscles of one body stiffen, the muscles of the other thrive.
But not everything is as steady in the journey to total resignation, consolation. "In my dreams I still walk . . . move . . . ," confesses Patrick, somehow unveiling yet another angle to the enigma we're sometimes tempted to think is solved out. Still he is and still he lives. Still he keeps on dreaming he can move, but his hope supersedes his yearnings: "I hope the dream world and the real world never sync up." Delving dreams down under water, digging them out the currents where they drift and fall apart, he finds himself at the threshold of these two worlds and is able to keep them to one side — and it is this capacity that keeps him dreaming, creating, but also wise. It is when he confides us an ant has shown him he's much more in control when he surrenders, when he relaxes and lets go, that we understand his dreams will stay behind his ability to create worlds outside the one in which he has accepted things as they are.
TransFatty Lives is a brutally honest documentary. It is brutal in the sense that it looks at everything, every event, the way he looked at them at the time they were lived, livestreaming his decline without a know-it-all voice stemming from the future (that is the present) to add some perspective to his past (that is the movie) — that voice of the afterfilm that is omnipresent in the past and omniscient in the present and can tell us what things really were and meant through phantasmal voiceovers is the voice that through its absence conveys the kind of truth that grows within us as much as it grows in the character, the subject, the man we follow through.
The letter to his son gives no opinion, no judgement and very little perspective about his past. And so it goes till the end: "Death makes those observing it feel immortal," observes O'Brien. But that feeling cannot be shared by those who have been recognizing death's presence preying upon themselves for quite a long time, resignedly waiting for it to fully show up. How will it be? "I'm still waiting for my happy ending . . . this death scene is starting to drag for too long . . . Sorry, this isn't my best angle. Don't worry. I'm ok." And he is. Unable to move he made a movie, a testament to his son and a love letter to life. Yes, he's going to be alright.

This is version two, the only difference are the rope supports, which are lower, and the black waterline mark.
Version three is coming along, but constructive criticism is requested nevertheless.
And can I ask for a British 1890's-1910's name for the boat?


I like doing these "winning combos" posts, because that's how I tend to shop these days – with at least one outfit plan in mind! One of the outfits I love to wear for work is a jersey pencil skirt and a tee, which I think works because it feels relaxed and comfortable, but looks smart enough for the office (well, my office anyway). The look can be dressed up with shoe boots or heels, and would even look cute and casual with coloured converse or something like that.
So I've picked out some of my favourite jersey pencil skirts for spring, and put them together with their perfect partner – the casual t-shirt.
I can't get enough plain tees – I'd like one in every colour really! And can recommend H&M for a nice selection at reasonable prices. Saying that though, who wouldn't pay £30 for the cutest t-shirt in the world from Brat & Suzie??


An album for any photography I take of my very own custom PC.
My right shift key probably gets less used than my Scroll Lock key, everything that requires a shift I always use the left shift with my pinkie.
I looked on Amazon again and it does appear to have blue switches... My brother's model has red switches and are different from my Outemu Blue switches found on my own keyboard. Apologies for the confusion, not sure what happened there.
I recommend the Redragon K552. It fits a majority of your criteria with its Outemu Red switches - a clone of Cherry MX Reds - along with a red backlight (or RGB if you pay a bit more) and is tenkeyless. It doesn't include a wrist rest unfortunately. I bought a Redragon K552 a year ago for my brother's PC, and he's a serious gamer, so the K552 has been a worthy choice.
For the kicks, I used my old Samsung AKG stock earphones - which needed a dongle - that I used pretty much since I got my S8, and then listened to music again but this time with my Jaybird X3 earphones.
Night and day difference, my X3 are so much more clear and crisp. It made me appreciate my Jaybird X3 purchase a lot more since back then, I was still quite hesitant to invest into Bluetooth audio.
Apple has truly changed my perspective on wires.
I don't own bluetooth headphones because I'm cheap. I also hate the idea of knowing that all bluetooth headphones are technically consumable because their batteries will eventually go to shite and are very difficult (if not impossible) to replace.
Wired headphones will work for as long as they don't physically break.
@DrMacintosh Worth it for the convenience, ultimately. I wouldn't mind wired Jaybirds, but Bluetooth wireless adds to quality of life.
The ideas they have are quite plain compared to the old days like mineral oil PC, classic unboxings, stuff like that, not to mention the new style of titling videos... Production quality with the new studio 'kitchen' is for sure better.
If you have the money, I don't see why not. I feel like Discord stuttering would be more down to your internet connection than RAM usage, because I've experienced the same and it was my Wi-Fi connection. Upgrading to 16GB most likely won't solve that, but if you're having any framerate issues or your PC is slower than you'd expected, then by all means upgrade.
I imagine it would literally be exactly that. > You, buys RAM > Amazon 'expert' comes to your house with new RAM > Amazon 'expert' inserts memory in like 9 seconds > Amazon 'expert' leaves That's some piss-easy money for the 'expert' right there.

Elpidophoros Calls for "Restoration of Unity" at Catholic Bishops' Conference
By Patricia Claus

Archbishop Elpidophoros, the head of all Greek Orthodox in the Americas, called for a "restoration of unity" and a "dialogue of love" between all Christians at the Catholic Bishops Conference last week.
His address marked the first time in history that an Orthodox Archbishop had attended and made remarks at an assembly of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese sent an official delegation to the November General Assembly of the bishops' conference, which took place in Baltimore, Maryland, at the invitation of His Excellency Archbishop José H. Gomez, President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

— U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (@USCCB) November 16, 2021
Elpidophoros' remarks were greeted very warmly by the Catholic bishops.
In his address, given during the first day of the Conference, Elpidophoros brought up Patriarch Bartholomew's address to the Ecumenical Reception at the National Council of Churches, in which the leader of all the Greek Orthodox stated that a "dialogue of love" between the faiths was the future for the two denominations, and that this "should become the century of the restoration of unity."
"Today, I am convinced, as I present myself in front of my brother hierarchs, that this dialogue of love, initiated by Pope Paul VI and Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras in 1964 in Jerusalem, continues with a particular density in this blessed country," Elphidoros declared.
This dialogue should take its cue from the relationship of Pope Francis and Patriarch Bartholomew, he stated. Bartholomew became the first Archbishop of Constantinople to attend a papal enthronement in 2013, and the two have worked together on a range of societal issues since that time.
The Catholic News Agency reports that Elpidophoros then presented Archbishop Gomez with a silver pectoral cross from Hagia Sophia, the great Orthodox Church which he called "the universal cathedral of Christianity," as a symbol of his "love and appreciation."
Archbishop Elpidophoros' complete remarks at the Conference are below:
"Your Eminences, Your Excellences, Dear Fathers, Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
"I greet you with a salutation of hope and peace in our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ. I would like to share my heartfelt joy to be with you today, my brother bishops of the USCCB, for the first time in the history of our Sister Churches' relation in this country; I am very grateful to His Excellency, the Most Reverend José H. Gomez Archbishop of Los Angeles, USCCB President, for his fraternal invitation to offer my humble remarks at the end of this session, but also to His Excellency to the Most Reverend David Talley Bishop of Memphis, Chairman of the Bishops' Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, for facilitating our presence tonight.
Elpidophoros calls for "dialogue of love"
"As you are well aware, a few weeks ago we had the honor and blessing to welcome His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew for a historic visit to this country during which he met some of you either in Washington, DC, or in New York City. I wanted to take this opportunity thank you again for your warm and ecumenical presence.
"Allow me to share with you today a quotation from the remarks offered by His All-Holiness during the Ecumenical Reception to the National Council of Churches that finds a particular echo in today's gathering: "the future of the ecumenical movement resides in 'the dialogue of love' through the creation of new symbols and common actions. We need to open our hearts to the language of dialogue.
"This is the ultimate condition for the restoration of unity among Christians. The 20th century was a time for growing restoration of relationships. The 21st century should become the century of the restoration of unity."
"Today, I am convinced, as I present myself in front of my brother hierarchs, that this dialogue of love, initiated by Pope Paul VI and Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras in 1964 in Jerusalem, continues with a particular density in this blessed country.
"Our dialogue of love should be fashioned by the dialogue and inspiring relationship between our primates: His Holiness Pope Francis and His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew was the first Archbishop of Constantinople to attend a Pope's enthronement in 2013.
"They both share the same concern for the protection of the natural environment, as expressed recently this September in the joint statement published together with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, warning the world of the urgency of environmental sustainability and its impact on poverty.
"This dialogue of love between our Sister Churches is a clear manifestation of our common desire for unity and communion on both a global and local level. Thus, the North American Orthodox- Catholic Theological Consultation should not be shy about its accomplishments. Since 1965 – at the happy coincidence of the reestablishment of Catholic-Orthodox relations and the Second Vatican Council – this Consultation has produced thirty-two documents, reports, and statements. Some of them became real references for theologians, and for our Churches to walk together towards unity.
"Real fruits of collaboration" between Orthodoxy, Catholicism
"These are real fruits of our collaboration which nourish both our communities. For all these decades, whether it was the Committee for Ecumenical Relations of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America – or prior to 2010, the Standing Conference of the Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, and the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops have been mutual sojourners.
"And here, please allow me here to commend the two co-chairs of the Consultation, His Eminence Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin of Newark and His Eminence Metropolitan Methodios of Boston, for their inspiring leadership.
"It is also worth noting that the Consultation works hand-in- hand with the Joint Committee of Orthodox and Catholic Bishops, which has been meeting annually since 1981. I am happy to report that both bodies are scheduled to continue their work in May of next year at the St. Methodios Faith and Heritage Center in New Hampshire. Let me also note that the fruits of this dialogue are not restricted to theological debate.
"Every year the Assembly of Bishops together with the USCCB offer the opening prayer at the March for Life. Just a few months ago, the Assembly of Bishops also signed on to an Amicus brief supporting the sanctity of life.
"Dear Brothers in the Lord, as Orthodox Christians, we are also very interested in the work and the process of the next Catholic Synod of Bishops, which is scheduled for October 2023 and which will deal with "For a Synodal Church Community: Communion, Participation and Missions." During this two-year period, I believe that there is room for your ecumenical partners to provide input into the preparation process. This idea was recently shared by His Eminence Cardinal Kurt Koch, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity.
"I am convinced that the future and mission of Catholic- Orthodox relations in the U.S.A. is to continue to bear witness to God's presence in the world, faithful to the Spirit of Jerusalem that we received as a legacy.
"Ecumenical dialogue bears in itself a synodal dimension that explores the meaning and praxis of the very nature of the Church structure and mission. We know that international dialogue is already examining this issue through study of the interdependence between synodality and primacy. But perhaps, in our American context, as we dedicate our energy and time to sharing this important issue and reflecting together, it will bear fruit in due course.
"I want to thank each one of you for allowing me to address this honorable body with the sincere hope there will be many more opportunities to come together as brothers. As David says it in the Psalms: "Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity." (Psalms 133:1)

Khama and the politics of anger
Khama outrage at Nasha signals a leader poorly attuned to the demands of political survival. Writes Joel Konopo*
The Office of the President is silted up with anger and disgust so much that it has taken the battleaxe to almost everyone; to the Chinese, to journalists, to the judges, to the lawyers, to immigrants, to unions and to the opposition. Anger may well be the watchword in President Ian Khama administration. But since when has anger ever amounted to a political or administrative position?
Since 2010 a lot has gone wrong at Domkrag where debate has been replaced by fear and backstabbing. Fast forward to 2014. The general election demonstrated the growing vulnerability of the BDP and, in Wynter Mmolotsi's clairvoyance, Tshekedi Khama is struggling to adapt to the prospects of being Leader of Opposition in 2019. The BDP has been losing its trusted lieutenants over the past six years. The former Speaker, Margaret Nasha latest resignation offers a glimpse into the sour grape attitude of the BDP leadership. Take example of a disappointed Vice President, Mokgweetsi Masisi who upon receiving Nasha's resignation letter made a wry assertion.
"We will respond to her with one line." This kind of anger is dangerous when it occupies high offices. For Khama it was a blessing in disguise that Nasha, a member of 3H generation – hardworking, honest and humble – left the party she joined some 37 years ago."Let her go," he purred recently as he addressed BDP youth league in Mosu. After all, Nasha is power hungry and has "a career in losing elections." She is thankless because she has been favoured with special nomination over the years. "Is that not women empowerment?" Khama wondered loudly.
But those who understand the dynamics within the BDP say the new leadership is poorly attuned to the demands of political survival. They argue that the ruling party has lost the capacity to define its ideological direction and has turned on its self. They say even the recently announced Economic Stimulus Package is a convenient, pre-election ploy of grabbing attention because government has failed to diversify the economy.
They argue strongly that it is not the no-blows-barred book "Madam Speaker Sir" published last year that piqued Khama. Nasha's interventions in the running of the BDP angered Khama. At one point, she torpedoed a Congress plan to heap up ultra vires powers on Khama to allow him to punish members without following procedure. As Speaker, she displayed the tenacity to lead an independent parliament away from the clutches of the executive. But her decision to decline Khama request to review some sections of the Standing Orders after election in 2014 – to allow parliament to vote for Speaker and Vice President by show of hands – really rubbed Khama the wrong way because she says she received a summon from party lawyer threatening a law suit. Court papers where later altered to reflect that the Attorney General was suing opposition parties. The Attorney General and the BDP lost the matter and Khama then showed stiff opposition to Nasha reelection and backed Gladys Kokorwe.
At a UDC rally organised to welcome her, Nasha had quickly learnt to overcome deeply imbedded fear by BDP politicians to hold Khama accountable. "Small minds discuss people," Nasha declared, outlining her carefully mapped out plan to inflict maximum pain in the attack of Khama. She then went for the jugular saying the Constitution was reviewed to make way for the Khama family who were born out of the country. "I can be president because I was born in this country and my parents were born in this country. I am a Motswana by birth and descent," she declared, drawing a distinction with Khama who was born in the UK to a British mother. "I am an intelligent girl. I went to school," she sent the crowd into stitches as she poked fun at Khama's questionable academic credentials adding that the Khamas had a history of performing poorly at school. "When students obtained Grade A and B, they obtained J at Maruapula School."
She later explained why she abandoned the ruling party, which, in her view, is consumed by anger and no longer respect the idea of having a constructive dialogue. Nasha offered a rare insight into the BDP inter-party politics explaining that her erstwhile party needs a little shake-up as anger is central to the running of the BDP. "You wake up one morning and cancel Tirelo Sechaba, the following morning you change your mind."
She then moves on to relate an incident in which Khama decided that Ministers could no longer hold a position in the central committee. Party chairman, Daniel Kwelagobe clinged on to his position and abandoned his ministerial post. After the election, Nasha explains that Khama changed his mind. "This is a sign of government by anger."
The office of president reacted with outrage expressing disappointment at her "reckless distortions" that apparently "insults the intelligence of Batswana."
Hopefully Khama has learnt a crucial lesson that those who live in glass houses need not throw stones.

Two buildings completed in the past two decades have been named among the UK's most valued endangered modern structures
The British Film Institute's IMAX cinema designed by the late Bryan Avery, which opened in 1999, and the British Library Centre for Conservation by Long & Kentish, completed in 2007, have both made the Twentieth Century Society's latest Top 10 Buildings at Risk List.
William Whitfield and Andrew Lockwood's 1980s Whitehall office block Richmond House – set to be turned into a temporary House of Commons – was named the most important at-risk building.
Three entries on the list are Grade II* listed with another Grade II listed. Five of the top 10 are in London with a further three from the South East and the remaining two in Sunderland and Wales.
Twentieth Century Society director Catherine Croft said: 'Once England was seen to be leading the way in the conservation of historic buildings. Now the system is impotent and disastrously under-resourced.
Once demolished, these buildings and the stories they tell are lost forever
'While listing used to protect our best historic buildings for posterity, today gaining consent to demolish them is becoming just a minor inconvenience for determined developers. Once demolished, these buildings and the stories they tell are lost forever.'
Avery Associates' Imax cinema near Waterloo station boasted the widest cinema screen in the country when it opened at the very end of the last century.
It won the Millennium Design Award from the Design Council but is one of eight sites in the district identified for tall buildings in the updated Lambeth Local Plan.
Long & Kentish's British Library Centre for Conservation was the final phase of building the north London institution, bringing together for the first time all of the library's conservation staff.
It was created by joining two buildings with a new public terrace at first-floor level, giving the centre its own front door as well as an attractive public space. Despite being completed just 12 years ago, the addition is under threat of demolition to make way for a temporary compound for construction of Crossrail 2.
Richmond House, previously occupied by the Department for Health and Social Security, is due to be knocked down to create a temporary House of Commons chamber and offices while the Palace of Westminster undergoes a multi-billion refurbishment led by BDP and AHMM.
In Surrey, Broadway Malyan won approval last year for its plans to flatten the Grade II-listed former Birds Eye headquarters at Walton-Upon-Thames (1961).
Meanwhile, only two of the 10 buildings named on the previous Buildings at Risk list two years ago appear to have been saved: High Cross House in Dartington and a police station in Manchester.
Looking at the 2017 register, two structures are due to be knocked down: 60 Hornton Street in West Kensington and the Cumberbatch North & South student accommodation buildings in Oxford. The remaining six remain at risk.
Commentators recently warned that a decision by Historic England to cut down on the advice it gives on planning applications relating to Grade II-listed structures could threaten the nation's built heritage.

Robert Wakeham9 July, 2019 6:14 pm
The 'updated Lambeth Local Plan' can't be much good at all if it ignores the IMAX cinema and proposes a high-rise in the roundabout, and I can only assume that - if there's no alternative site for a temporary compound for the construction of Crossrail 2 - the British Library building will have to be rebuilt (just like the Carlton Tavern, not that far away, is supposed to be). Otherwise it could be another nail in the coffin of HS2.
Good news about High Cross House, though - but then that's far from the Greater London smash-and-build zone.
Michael Ball10 July, 2019 11:08 am
Lambeth owns the freehold of the IMAX site and agreed a few months ago to spend £500k on feasilibity for a tall building as the 'apex' of the emerging cluster... costs to be shared with TfL, who own the freehold of the land surrounding the IMAX and have been 'consulting' for the last 18 months on the peninsularisation of the IMAX, which will create an even more log-jammed junction, but is worth millions to both authorities in terms of real estate.
The only saving grace is that this is a piece of feather-in-her-cap flotsam from Sue Foster (the key champion of the Garden Bridge at Lambeth, but who was recently 'let go' and has washed up at RBKC responsible for Grenfell) and her Lambeth underling Sandra Roebuck, who has subsequently moved sideways... So, as usual, the hope is that Lambeth will incompetently defend the indefensible long after the caravan has departed, marching to the drum of its collective amnesia

MEM 101, NYK 88: Conley and Carter Power Grizzlies Past Knicks in Memphis
by Jonah Ballow
Mike Conley powered the Grizzlies offense through three quarters of action but it was Vince Carter's clutch buckets down the stretch that lifted Memphis to a win over the shorthanded Knicks on Friday night. New York outscored the Grizzlies 25-17 in the third quarter and took a two-point lead into the final period. After Memphis snatched back the advantage by five points, Carter buried back-to-back triples to extend the lead to 11 points. A Marc Gasol turnaround jumper in the paint completed a 16-4 run over a four-minute span that effectively put the game out of reach for the visiting Knicks. The scrappy squad from New York fought throughout the entire contest despite missing its top two scorers in the lineup. Conley finished with a game-high 31 points on 12-of-17 shooting from the floor and a dazzling 7-of-11 behind the arc.
Knick of the Night:
Courtney Lee scored a team-high 16 by sinking 7-of-13 shots from the floor and 2-of-4 from the 3-point line.
Notables:
Maurice Ndour posted 11 of his 15 in the first half, Willy Hernagomez posted a double-double (11 points, 10 rebounds), and Justin Holiday finished with 12 points.
News and Notes:
Carmelo Anthony was sidelined with a sore left knee and Kristaps Porzingis missed his third straight game due to a sore back. Friday night marked the final road contest for the Knicks this season.
Statistically Speaking:
Facing a formidable frontline, New York managed to outscore the Grizzlies 50-40 in the paint and win the battle in the open floor, 17-9.
The Knicks return home for the final two games of the regular season. On Sunday, New York will host Toronto in a matinee contest at 12 PM. Tune to MSG Network for all of the coverage.

A Fábrica de Aparelhos Eletrónicos (FAE) foi uma empresa moçambicana que fabricava a marca de rádios portáteis Xirico, muito popular no país.

O Xirico é parte da cultura de Moçambique por causa do seu preço acessível quando era fabricado pela FAE (Fábrica de Aparelhos Electrónicos), de Maputo, com tecnologia da extinta RDA. Os aparelhos foram fabricados entre os anos 1970 e 1980, até a queda do socialismo na Europa. O rádio tem a imagem de um xirico junto ao mostrador.

Os Xiricos, rádios de ondas médias e curtas, cobriam as frequências entre dezenove e noventa metros.

Em Angola, de acordo com o Houaiss, a palavra é usada para denotar qualquer aparelho de rádio.

Recruiting with purpose
What happens when you combine a tech company that uses data to drive matchmaking and a recruitment firm with a track record of success? You get closerIQ, a recruitment agency that's redefining their industry.
remove Closer IQ
Why Gmelius?
Gmelius allows CloserIQ's sales team to consolidate their internal and external communications within their inbox. Gmelius turns Gmail into a centralized workplace, bringing together incoming emails, team chat, and a host of collaboration tools that improve team workflow.
CloserIQ employs next-generation recruitment models that benefit both sides of their equation: Candidates and Employers.
They help candidates achieve their full career potential with a wide range of resources, including talent advisors and professional development. The future employers of these candidates, receive the most cost-effective, results-driven, recruitment solution.
Managing all the moving parts of a multi-department team requires effective communication and transparency - not another tool.
CloserIQ Team at their HeadQuarters in New York.
"Gmelius has really increased the congruity of our communication. As you scale a business, it's critical for your entire team to interface with clients in a similar fashion so you can maintain your quality of service."
Jason Lalk, Director of Sales, CloserIQ
As a high-tech sales recruitment firm servicing more than 350 companies and placing thousands of candidates, it was imperative for them to have a consolidated collaboration and communications tool.
Install Gmelius for free
Redefining Workplace Communications
Gmelius turns the Gmail, G Suite inbox of teams into a workspace that manages teams, clients, and projects. With a clear line of visibility, managers are able to organize, delegate accountability, and monitor processes through completion. All communications and tasks are updated in real-time and synced across all team members and devices.
"Gmelius has been instrumental in helping us scale our communication and effectiveness." said James Lalk, Director of Sales, CloserIQ, when asked about the benefits Gmelius provides teams.
CloserIQ's sales team was the initial adopter of Gmelius as a solution. When asked what brought them to Gmelius, James Meincke, Director of Marketing expressed:
"Our sales team was looking for tools that were more in depth. They wanted to separate CRM's on the Partner & Recruitment sides."
At Gmelius we recognize that most CRM platforms are overkill for the teams they are designed to serve, with most companies using less than 10% of their capabilities. The bloated feature sets, high-price tags, and steep learning curves of the standard CRM are out of place, especially for teams that do most of their work from their email inbox.
Gmelius was created for this very reason, and why we developed a next-generation "light" CRM that lives within your inbox. A streamlined no frills solution that executes on the processes that matter - without the extra fluff.
Before Gmelius
CloserIQ team members were attempting to individually solve the most common issues when working in teams: collaborating and communicating effectively.
As the workflows added up so did the tools, further fragmenting their operations. Most teams were using a combination of Gmail, Slack, and Asana; with a few members using Gorgias to manage their emails.
CloserIQ decided on Gmelius, a unified inbox workspace designed for teams.
"Gmelius was the first solution we felt confident enough to roll out across the entire team."
James Meincke, Director of Marketing, CloserIQ
Email at its core was not designed for real-time collaboration amongst multiple parties, especially in the context of a fast-paced industry like high-tech recruiting. Most solutions that address this issue will require you to adopt a third-party platform - further creating a gap between your incoming emails and the required actions that stem from them.
Ironically, using solutions that promise to improve how you work will often create a new set of pain points.
Slack versus Gmelius
Creating yet another communication channel that takes you away from your inbox poses a few problems.
A common issue with Slack is the noise that comes from managing multiple channels of side-communication. Most channels become irrelevant to the priorities of moving your projects forward.
CloserIQ team members would find themselves asking:
"When should I send a Slack versus an Email?"
"Which one is more responsive and more relevant to the task?"
Gmelius removes distractions by streamlining workplace communication. Chat for example is replaced by email notes which run in a chat-style thread alongside respective emails. Tagging team members is based on relevancy to provide direction, add context, and move the project forward. This space doesn't really open itself up for any side-conversations; although it is a great place to make private notes to yourself or @mention team members for behind the scenes collaboration.
Managing multiple departments, clients, and projects
Cross-department management is core to Gmelius, making it the ideal solution for mid to large-sized teams. The transparency and accountability ensure for example that your Sales team is on the same page with Marketing and vice-versa.
The starting point is the incoming communication from external emails as they lead to internal chat. And the connection point is the collaborative tools that support your team's subsequent actions.
What's the best way to Delegate tasks and track Accountability on tasks that come from emails?
This is where Gmelius really shines: Collaboration and Automation. For example, teams are able to create sequenced email flows with "If this - Then that" directions. At any stage during this flow, emails can be turned into tasks, assigned to team members, and added to Trello-like kanban boards with one click. All without leaving your email inbox.
The use cases are limitless with Gmelius features. Depending on their requirements, teams in various industries have their favorites.
CloserIQ's favorite Gmelius features
When asked about their favorite Gmelius features CloserIQ mentioned our suite of team collaboration tools - mainly Shared Inboxes, Email Templates, and Email Notes.
"The templates feature has been a critical element to our success. As we scale our team, it's important to maintain our communication standards, and the shared templates really empower us to drive that communication efficiently, without losing quality."
Gmelius allows teams to save time on repetitive tasks, freeing them to focus on more essential tasks. Email templates are shareable, allowing you to create, perfect, and pass on to team members for them to customize as they see fit.
"Using the templates feature, we've been able to standardize that communication by inserting a base template, and editing 20-30% of the content. That is much faster than manually writing these emails or searching for similar emails like we did in the past…"
Improving internal and external workplace communications, is the goal of Gmelius. It's done with features that support your team and empower them to become their best at every stage of project management and client interactions.
"The dark horse sub-feature is the Gmelius pop-up that forces you to input variables that the software doesn't detect in Gmail. Every sales person has sent an email that said, "Hey [first_name]." Gmelius saves a lot of embarrassment with this feature."
The main benefit is having these features seamlessly integrated into your inbox. This allows teams to team to stay centralized in a distraction free zone, where most of your important communication takes place - your Gmail inbox.
In addition the Gmail nativity means that Gmelius is easy to use and easy to get started.
Zero learning curve and instant onboarding
Gmelius delivers instant onboarding with an almost zero learning curve. If a team is using Gmail or G Suite as an email client it means they are ready on day one of installing Gmelius.
Gmelius was built for teams
With a team of 38 members plus additional remote and contract workers it's essential for CloserIQ to maintain a consistent voice on their communications - both internal for their staff and external for their clients.
Gmelius allows them, as a dispersed team, to collaborate and communicate closer than ever. Features are designed to bring teams together - within their respective inboxes - while easing their workflow to best serve their clients.
CloserIQ has a varied client base, but 90% of their clients are venture-backed software companies where fast-paced, high-tech, data driven intelligence is the norm. CloserIQ supplements tech with a service-focused approach. This combination of art and science allows them to stay ahead of the curve.
Instead of focusing on the competition, CloserIQ prefers to focus on redefining the industry.
Gmelius transforms Gmail into your company's workspace. We are currently chosen by more than 150,000 professionals to streamline their communications and automate their workflows, allowing them to manage projects and clients without leaving their inbox. Would you like to learn how Gmelius can do the same for your team?


Well, isn't that an appropriate topic, given the events of last Friday?
Right, let's get this out of the way. I'm not usually given to political statements, but I suppose I can make an exception now and then.
I am not a social media addict by any means. I have a Facebook account, both personal and as an author, and while I always have it open in the background, I don't spend my time obsessively following other people's posts. Twitter is still a mystery to me, and I do little more than link this blog to my account and follow back everyone who follows me if I don't dislike what I see.
Anyway, I've seen a lot of reactions to the terrorist attacks in Paris. Thankfully, most of them have been supportive, not only of the Parisians, but also of the many hundreds of thousands of muslims who are as appalled as everyone else at what has happened. Probably even more so, actually, since the terrorists purport to do what they do in the name of their religion.
Unfortunately I have also seen one or two posts that lay the blame at the feet of islam, and which (inadvertently?) spread the hatred these terrorists inspire to the wrong people. Today I actually unfriended someone for doing that once too often.
From my recent jaunt into the realms of the Biblical you will have surmised that religion is not my thing. However, I hope I have also been clear that I am not bothered by other people's religious beliefs, provided (and this is extremely important) you don't try to impose those beliefs on me or anyone else. Religion should be a personal thing, and anyone trying to impose their religious views on anyone else needs to stop. This counts for IS terrorists as well as the idiots trying to ban gay marriage or campaigning to close down abortion clinics in America.
If you want to hate people, hate them for what they do or say, not for what they believe in. And that's all I'm going to say on the matter.
But this segues nicely into this week's question: How difficult do you find it to write characters who have vastly different beliefs from you?
I think the answer is, very difficult. That said, I've never really tried yet. My three books so far have been lightweight romantic romps, where deep-seated personal beliefs have not really featured that much. When they have, such as in The Coup, where the main antagonist sees non-sorcerers as inferior beings, these beliefs are not held by my main characters.
I suppose one of the biggest issues here is whether these characters are 'good guys' or 'bad guys'. I'm sure it'd be much easier to write a bad guy with beliefs totally opposite to mine. Doing it for one of my good guys? Ehh, I think it'd feel very iffy. I admire my friend Hillary for being able to write her main protagonist as a devout light-follower with knee-jerk reactions of revulsion when confronted with followers of the shadow, even when it becomes apparent pretty early on that the Light is actually quite horrible. True, his beliefs are challenged throughout his story, and he does change his views gradually, but that's a proper character arc.
Me, on the other hand? I have difficulty even making my characters like colours I don't like myself. But there's no way I can let a lady of the court only wear black, red and purple, so I've forced myself to let Sita wear green and bronze and blue and any other colour I wouldn't wear myself. My characters believe in the Gods, but they very much view them as aloof beings who don't intervene in the day to day life of humans. My world doesn't even have priests – I'm too much of an atheist to invest much in an imaginary religion. It probably shows in my books, but I suppose I'm just a very limited writer in certain respects.
Who knows? Maybe in future I'll be challenged at this. I'll just have to see how I do when it comes to that.

I'm really glad you're doing this. I missed most of the original Authors Answer series, for some reason, so it's good to see the idea revived, and with links to the originals.
These questions are really interesting. Do you think anyone would mind if I posted my own answers on my blog (with attribution to the originals, of course)?
I suppose you ought to ask Jay Dee Archer, since he started the series, but I'd imagine he won't mind, especially if you link back to his blog as well. I know I'll be interested in your answers!
No problem. I don't mind at all. Of course, the Authors Answer series is still going on, having just started its second year this month.
Well, you're not the only one to get an idea from other blogs. I've done it, too. But I haven't had a long series to follow, just a single post.

After another highly successful season, in which the 27-year-old Australian cliff diving sensation secured her third overall Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series title in as many seasons to become the most successful female in this sport and Mexico's cliff diving figurehead Paredes finished third overall in this highly anticipated anniversary season, the setting for the year's final dives could not have been more spectacular than the unique rock formations surrounded by glacial water in the remote Chilean Aysén region.
In the Chilean spring and surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the divers launched from the cliffs south of the water-sculpted blue caverns of the Marble Cathedral to land in the 7° Celsius cold glacial turquoise water. Only accessible by boat from the town of Puerto Tranquilo, the athletes were harnessed roping up their way to the 20m high take-off spot.

Sony shows off motion controller
At the E3 conference today Sony has been showing off its new motion controller for the PS3, due for release early next year.
The demo consisted of a Sony engineer waving the controller around with a monitor replicating his movement but, instead of showing the controller, it displayed of objects including a tennis racquet, sword, Japanese fan and a torch.
The demo also exhibited a two controller swordfight as well as two motion controllers being used to handle virtual toy building blocks. Perhaps the most impressive demo was the ability to write free-hand with the new motion controllers.

The good news is that there are plenty of ways you can help yourself care for your skin naturally.
Skin care isn't a new concept: it's said that Cleopatra bathed in asses' milk and historians tell us that the ancient Romans used honey in face packs. Coming a bit closer to the present time, our great-grandmother's relied on very natural creams that were usually home-concocted. Many of the so-called witches were just old-fashioned herbalists who used plants to heal and repair.
Today more and more people are turning back to long-known natural herbal remedies for minor ailments and it's no different in respect to skin care. Many effective skin care creams can be made easily at home using natural ingredients that can be bought from your local greengrocer or grown in the garden.
Maybe the best place to begin is with a facial sauna but why buy an expensive electric face sauna when you can make your own using a bowl and a towel?!
Boil a kettle of water and fill the bowl. Add a few drops of essential oils and then hold your head over the hot water, covering both your head and the bowl with a towel. Stay like that for a few minutes to allow your pores to open before applying a face mask.
For dry skin use chamomile and rose oils; for oily skin use eucalyptus and lemon; and for normal skins, try some orange and lavender.
Once your pores have opened, smear a thin layer of clear honey over your face, avoiding the eyes and lips. Lie back and relax for half an hour and then rinse off with warm water. Splash your skin with cold water to close the pores again.
Mash 3 ripe strawberries with 2 tablespoonfuls oatmeal and 1 drop of lemon essential oil. Spread the strawberry paste on your face, avoiding eyes and mouth, and relax for 30 minutes. Gently rinse off with cool water.
Mix some skimmed milk powder with a little water to make a thin paste and use to cleanse your skin. Rinse well afterwards.
Place 1 tablespoon of roughly chopped lemon balm and lavender into a bowl. Add ¼ pint boiling milk, cover and leave to infuse. Strain into a sterilised jar and keep in the fridge. Dab it on your face with a piece of cotton wool.
Once a week try mixing together some oatmeal, lemon juice, banana, yogurt and turmeric. Apply the paste to your face and leave it on until dry, Massage your face as your wash it with warm water.
Infuse 2 tablespoons roughly chopped mint leaves in ½ cup of boiling water. Strain when cool. Mix ½ cup of witch hazel with 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon mint infusion.
Once a week exfoliate your skin. Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin and flaky cells. They're not effectively removed by washing and as well as making your skin look dull they'll prevent the uptake of moisturiser and other face creams.
Put a couple of teaspoons of granular sea salt in a saucer. Dip in flannel in very warm water and hold it against your face for a minute. Then, using your fingertips, gently massage sea salt into your cheeks and forehead and nose, carefully avoiding your eyes and mouth. After a couple of minutes rinse off using cold water.
Try to drink 2 litres of water a day.
Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, especially veg rich in Vitamin A, such as spinach and carrots.

I want to make an application in which i have to either disable screen capture or replace the image taken for some security purpose.please help me if any one have any suggestion...
thanks in Advance

A: You can't do that, at least not on standard iOS app (i.e. non-jailbroken). Why would you need that level of security anyway? If the user has seen a screen then they will have seen it already so what's the problem of being able to screenshot it?

Raising Children Free Of Prejudice
by: Alvin Poussaint, M.D. and Susan Linn, Ed.D.
Raising our children and understanding racial diversity in our society can't be seen as separate tasks -- they're both part of our job as good parents. So how do we go about it?
Our children learn their attitudes from us -- the adults around them. We all have ways of thinking and acting that may seem natural to us but aren't necessarily what we want to pass along to our children. In fact, if we don't examine these attitudes carefully, they can be harmful to our children's understanding of their world.
Check out 25 Children's Books to Teach Kids About Race and Racism to help get the conversation started.
A Bug Is a Bug Is a Bug?
Children don't come pre-equipped with reactions to each new experience in their lives. For instance, all young children instinctively put things they want to explore into their mouths. But an Inuit child of the Arctic who put a grub into his or her mouth would learn from a pleased parent that grubs are a delicious springtime snack. A suburban American child learns from a horrified parent that grubs are too disgusting to be touched, let alone eaten. Now, do you often feel that you need to learn how to eat unusual insects in this country? Probably not. But we do need to understand our own learned prejudices about people in order to avoid teaching them to our children. We need to make sure that we are showing our children the most positive ways to interact with the world in which they live.
Parenting in Families of Color
Families of color have an especially difficult job. They must raise their children to be free of prejudice while helping them to develop a positive identity in the face of prejudice. A family lifestyle that reflects confidence and self-respect is the key ingredient here.
Parents who show their children a sense of their pride in ordinary day-to-day living -- without shielding their children from racial realities -- have an easier task. Whether a family is Latino or Asian American, African American,or Native American, its kids' books, dolls, and other toys should be multiracial. Children of color, like white children, should have toys to play with that reflect all races and ethnicities, including their own.
In the same way, a child's questions about racial and ethnic differences need to be handled with a calm understanding of what the child is really asking. When a six-year-old calls his skin color "dirty" and wonders why it doesn't wash off, he isn't developing a "negative identity." He's looking for an explanation of the differences he's noticed as a normal, curious child. He needs a simple, supportive explanation, such as, "People have different skin colors -- brown, white, black, yellow -- and you have a pretty brown color like Mommy and Daddy. It isn't dirty, and it doesn't wash off."
Coping with Prejudice
When children are hurt by racial or ethnic cruelty, though, it's harder to restrain an immediate emotional response. It's important, however, to try to comfort and explain instead of reacting angrily. If your child is called an ugly name, for instance, it's a great temptation to fly into a blind rage. But what your child needs from you is reassurance that she is a good person and that people who call her such names are not nice people. At the same time, she needs to know that all people of that particular group don't act this way, and that there are good and bad people of all ethnic groups and races.
Children need encouragement to be assertive in these situations, at least saying to the name-caller, "I don't like you calling me bad names and I want you to stop." And it's important to stress that talking out a problem is always the thing to try first. If a situation gets out of hand, a parent may need to intervene -- and your child needs to know that you are ready to back her up -- but children should be encouraged to initially try to handle these difficulties themselves. Then, if a similar incident occurs again, they will be better able to deal with it. Whatever the problem, however, parents of color need to ensure that their children develop coping mechanisms that don't compromise their children's dignity.
Parenting in White Families
White parents face some different issues in raising their children to be free of prejudice. The realization that their race protects them from directly experiencing most kinds of prejudice will call for some different responses. But one basic approach is the same: remembering that all children learn their attitudes from the adults around them. And so for white parents, taking a careful look at their own feelings about other ethnic and racial groups is a most important first step in helping their children to grow up without prejudice.
A second crucial step is understanding that our children learn most from their day-to-day experience. We must not, of course, speak or act in prejudicial ways. But that's not enough by itself. Children can absorb prejudices from the world around them, or simply grow up without knowing anything about other racial groups. White parents must actively work to help their children develop healthy racial attitudes.
Making Diversity a Part of Life
White children need to see people of other ethnic groups and races as being part of their daily lives. Ideally, this means coming to know neighbors, school mates, and family friends of different races. Many of our neighborhoods, however, are so racially segregated that there is very little chance for this to happen. Parents can make sure, though, that their children have multicultural toys and storybooks, and that the television programs and movies they watch are racially and culturally diverse.
But even where communities and schools are integrated, there can be problems. Many white parents ask what they can do if their children have had negative experiences -- such as fights -- with children of color. The answer is: You need to try to help your child have good experiences with other playmates from that ethnic group or race. And you need to remind your child -- as all parents should remind their children when they experience prejudice -- that there are good and bad people in all races. You can point out that your child has white playmates he may not like, but that doesn't make him dislike all white children.
Bad Feelings and Good Friendships
It can also help to explain that some children have had such bad experiences because of racial prejudice that they feel angry toward white people or people from groups different from their own. This should not be said to excuse a particular behavior, but to help the white child understand some of the larger social issues. And white parents should never allow their children to accept abuse from other races or ethnic groups because they feel guilty about being white. Healthy relationships between races can't be based on guilt. Good friendships need to be based on mutual respect and equality.
Every Family's Job
All parents can and must work to see that their involvement in local schools, religious groups, and community organizations helps to promote racial respect and cooperation. Again, our daily lives are the most influential teaching tools we have. Given the racial conflicts and misunderstanding that are still so much a part of our society, we can't expect our children to grow up free of prejudice with no effort on our part. Changed racial attitudes in our children's generation can only come from our positive work today.
