We're extremely proud to announce our exclusive partnership with Iraq's number one oil and gas energy, procurement and construction (EPC) service providers; AlGailani Group of Companies For Trading And General Contracting Ltd (GGC).
With over 4 million barrels of oil's produced every day, Iraq was always a key target market for us but with the barrier to entry we couldn't feasibly enter the market without a partner that we could trust and that has the track record of excellence aligned with our ambitions.
We were really impressed with GGC's work history and their rise to being number one service provider in Iraq. What was more important for us however was their like minded focus and vision of serving clients and partners with a standard of excellence.
Just like GGC, we put a high degree of importance on our reputation because we've always been big believers that reputation is the best currency to invest in. Knowing this, it quickly became a no brainer that this was a perfect partnership opportunity for us to work with the esteemed team at GGC.
"Iraq was always a key market for us and we were only going to be in business there if we could work with the best and the best in Iraq is unquestionably GGC" - Richard Naylor (Yall Elite Company Secretary)
Our new partnership has empowered our mantra of being 'champions of excellence' because of our alignment with great partners like GGC and like minded suppliers who share the same values in their own businesses through their products and services.
It's always been important for us to take on new challenges by entering new markets and this partnership is another key milestone in our journey to being considered the best if not one of the best in the businesses by virtue of excellence.
Again, we're extremely pleased to have associated ourselves and our brand with an esteemed company like GGC and excited about adding to GGC's already dominant position in Iraq by aspiring to not only continue to grow our collective marketshare but to also lead the market entirely with successful projects across all fields.

15 Free Things to Do in the French Riviera
By Briana Seftel
The French Riviera is synonymous with yachts, designer shops and villas overlooking the ocean, which means visiting on a budget can be somewhat of a challenge. But have no fear! Here are 15 totally free things you can do in several cities along the French Riviera.
View Vactation Packages >
1. Promenade des Anglais
Hugging the Baie des Anges, the Promenade des Anglais is the most famous stretch of seafront in France. Getting its name for the English aristocrats who spent winters in Nice, "La Prom" is a popular place for locals and tourists to shop, eat, bike ride or stroll.
2. Vieux Nice
Vieux Nice, or Old Nice, is the city's historic center and an absolute dream to wander through. The area has barely changed since the 1700s and has a distinctly Italian flair. As you're walking through, make sure to stop at architectural gems like Cathédrale Ste-Réparate, Chapelle de la Miséricorde and Palais Lascaris.
3. Cours Saleya
At the center of Vieux Nice lies Cours Saleya, an outdoor market that's the perfect place to observe everyday life. Under the shade of pretty striped awnings, peruse the colorful abundance of fresh produce, flowers and local handicrafts. If you're lucky, you may even get to try samples of local specialties like socca, a thin chickpea crepe.
4. Place Massena
You'll likely end up at Nice's main square several times during your stay. Located between Vieux Nice and the newer parts of the city, Place Massena is a popular meeting place day and night. Take in the view by dining at one of the many restaurants nestled under its arcades or shopping at the boutiques.
5. Promenade de la Croisette
Much like Nice's Promenade des Anglais, Promenade de la Croisette in Cannes is a fashionable thoroughfare lined with 5-star hotels, designer shopping and outdoor dining. The Croisette is known for the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, where the Cannes Film Festival is held every May.
6. Le Suquet
High above the glitz and glamour of the promenade is Le Suquet, Cannes' charming old quarter. Dating back to Roman times, Le Suquet is an enchanting mix of cobbled lanes, bougainvillea-draped balconies and locals-only cafes. One of the must-see sites is Chateau de la Castre, built in the 12th century by monks and now home to a small museum displaying ancient artifacts and artwork.
7. Marché Forville
At the foot of Le Suquet is Marché Forville, a large covered market that's a local institution. Open from Tuesday to Sunday, the market sells everything from just-picked tomatoes to Italian cold cuts.
8. Saint Nicholas Cathedral
Visit the resting place of several members of the Grimaldi family, including Princess Grace and Prince Rainier. From the outside, admire the cathedral's Roman-Byzantine architecture. Inside, marvel at the Episcopal throne made of Carrara white marble. From September to June every Sunday at 10 am, mass is sung by The Monaco Boys Choir and the Choir of Monaco Cathedral.
9. Monte Carlo Casino
Sure, you'll need money to play at the casino, but admiring the gorgeous facade and gardens is completely free! Designed in a Belle Époque style, the casino has hosted everyone from royalty to James Bond. In the summer, play freely at the tables at the Salle Blanche & Terrasse and enjoy the breathtaking view across the Riviera.
10. Changing of the Guard
Join the spectators to watch the daily Changing of the Guard (known as the Carabiniers du Prince) in front of the Prince's Palace. Held at precisely 11:55 am, the procession hasn't been changed for more than 100 years.
11. Pampelonne Beach
Imagine Brigitte Bardot frolicking in the water at Pampelonne Beach, one of the most iconic beaches on the Riviera. While crowded with tourists in the summer, the 3-mile beach is a see-and-be-seen place that happens to be 100% free.
12. La Ponche
Meander through the historic fishing village of La Ponche, which used to be the heart of Saint-Tropez before it became a destination for the jet set.
13. Citadel of Saint-Tropez
Okay, so this one's not totally free (general admission is 3 euros while kids under 12 get in free), it's totally worth the small admission. Built in the 17th century to defend the coast against Spain, the citadel dominates the hillside overlooking Saint-Tropez.
14. Picasso Museum
Housed in a former castle built by the Grimaldi family, who ruled Antibes from 1385 to 1608, the Picasso Museum holds 300 of the artist's paintings. Picasso used one of its rooms as a workshop, where he made paintings and drawings, many of which he gifted to the town of Antibes. From the castle, enjoy spellbinding views over the surrounding coast and to the mountains in the distance.
Note: The museum is free on certain days.
15. Absinthe Museum
Learn about the infamous green liquor known as the "Green Fairy" at this tiny museum that's really more of a bar with a gallery. Associated with artists like Edgar Degas and Henri de Toulouse Lautrec, the drink was banned in 1915 due to its mind-altering effects. You can find the museum hidden in the basement of a shop called Balade en Provence in Antibes' old town.

On August 18, 2016 the Seneca Falls Police Department reports that a Savannah resident was arrested for petit larceny.
Officers say Samantha A. Marr, 28, of Savannah was charged with petit larceny after allegedly stealing merchandise from the Seneca Falls Walmart valued at $20.21.
Marr was released on appearance tickets and will answer the charge in Seneca Falls Town Court.


Tomorrow morning at 6:15 AM is my first session with the personal trainer. Now, in order for me to get up, eat something, and get down to Arlington by 6 AM or so, I need to wake up at about 4:45. I just can't stay up late tonight. In fact, it means I probably need to be in bed in the next 30 minutes or so–while it's still light out.
So, no writing tonight. I had a productive day at work and I'm tired, and although it's humid out, the AC is on and I should stay cool. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep.
More on how the personal training went, tomorrow.


Nalbuphine hydrochloride injection should be administered as a supplement to general anesthesia only by persons specifically trained in the use of intravenous anesthetics and management of respiratory effects of potent opioids.
Naloxone hydrochloride injection, resuscitative and intubation equipment and oxygen should be readily available.
Caution should be observed in prescribing nalbuphine for emotionally unstable patients, or for individuals with a history of opioid abuse. Such patients should be closely supervised when long term therapy is contemplated (see DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE).
Although nalbuphine possesses opioid antagonist activity, there is evidence that in nondependent patients it will not antagonize an opioid analgesic administered just before, concurrently, or just after an injection of nalbuphine hydrochloride. Therefore, patients receiving an opioid analgesic, general anesthetics, phenothiazines, or other tranquilizers, sedatives, hypnotics, or other CNS depressants (including alcohol) concomitantly with nalbuphine may exhibit an additive effect. When such combined therapy is contemplated, the dose of one or both agents should be reduced.
Nalbuphine hydrochloride is indicated for the relief of moderate to severe pain. Nalbuphine hydrochloride can also be used as a supplement to balanced anesthesia, for preoperative and postoperative analgesia, and for obstetrical analgesia during labor and delivery.
Nalbuphine Hydrochloride | Hospira, Inc.
The usual recommended adult dose is 10 mg for a 70 kg individual administered subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intravenously; this dose may be repeated every 3 to 6 hours as necessary. Dosage should be adjusted according to the severity of the pain, physical status of the patient, and other medications which the patient may be receiving (see Interaction With Other Central Nervous System Depressants under WARNINGS). In nontolerant individuals, the recommended single maximum dose is 20 mg with a maximum total daily dose of 160 mg.
Patients Dependent on Opioids: Patients who have been taking opioids chronically may experience withdrawal symptoms upon the administration of nalbuphine hydrochloride injection. If unduly troublesome, opioid withdrawal symptoms can be controlled by the slow intravenous administration of small increments of morphine, until relief occurs. If the previous analgesic was morphine, meperidine, codeine, or other opioid with similar duration of activity, one-fourth of the anticipated dose of nalbuphine hydrochloride can be administered initially and the patient observed for signs of withdrawal, i.e., abdominal cramps, nausea and vomiting, lacrimation, rhinorrhea, anxiety, restlessness, elevation of temperature or piloerection. If untoward symptoms do not occur, progressively larger doses may be tried at appropriate intervals until the desired level of analgesia is obtained with nalbuphine hydrochloride.
of nalbuphine hydrochloride injection may be followed by respiratory depression which can be reversed with the opioid antagonist naloxone hydrochloride.
occur, progressively larger doses may be tried at appropriate intervals until the desired level of analgesia is obtained with nalbuphine hydrochloride. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit.

Recently, I've been doing a lot of painting of my Warhammer 40k Space Orks. I've fallen behind my grand plans of having my fully painted army, but I started telling myself that 'I'll never finish it if I dont do it'. The other day, I decided to finish my half-painted Warboss as something that I should really do. Now usually, my orks are painted to a decent tabletop standard with quite a simple colour scheme but I when I have a special character or unit, I like to go the extra mile and do some extra. This time I'm trying to do that with my Warboss, with the help of a guide on the GW site you can find here. Using that as well as the Eavy Metal Masterclass book, which my housemate kindly leant me, I've gotten some extra tips on how to do this. One thing I've been having trouble achieving is the correct tone of skin that I want to achieve. With my orks I've aimed to be a little faithful to some of the background (aka 'fluff') that orks get bigger and darker as they get older. To my understanding this would mean that a Warboss is the biggest and subsequently darkest, followed by Nobz then Boyz & other troops then Gretchin being the lightest shade. I always find that 'senior' Ork models I see online are too bright for this. Sometime, I'll show my Warboss next to one of my Nobz, Boyz and Gretchin so you can see the idea of the tones I aim for.

This time last weekend I was sitting on the shores of Lusty Beg island, sipping something tasty and enjoying the company of fellow bloggers, Sinéad from Bumbles of Rice and Lucy from Learner Mama. All around us was peaceful quietude. Swans gliding through the water in the little harbour, tiny waves sloshing gently against the green edges of the island and beautiful views in every direction. It was gorgeous.
It takes roughly 2 hours 40 minutes to travel from the Dublin area to the wilds of Fermanagh, where Lusty Beg is situated- though it took me slightly longer because I was very casual about my travel arrangements and never even looked up directions before I left home. I had decided to rely on Ms. Google Maps for directions, completely forgetting that once I crossed the border and 'roaming' set in, she would forsake me. Of course, I later discovered that in the North, you can choose your own network and so avoid roaming issues but that was of no use to me as I drove aimlessly around Enniskillen for 20 minutes!
Eventually, a call to a far more organised Sinéad got me back on track and our arrivals coincided. We even ended up sharing the tiny ferry, that takes only two cars at a time across the water to the island. Lucy met us at the door of our fabulous 4* lodge accommodation and we all spent the next while oohing and aahing over every nook and cranny of it and raising a glass to our stay - on our own private balcony, overlooking the lake, if you don't mind.
While we were on the island we were spoiled with a treatment each at the Island Spa. I had the Voyager Total Massage Journey which was 90 minutes of pure bliss and included body brushing, body massage and a scalp massage that was so soothing it sent me straight to sleep! We also took a dip in the pool and enjoyed some time in the relaxation room which was well stocked with fresh fruit, infused water and tea/coffee, etc.
Though our accommodation was self-catering, we ate all of our meals in the Island Restaurant. The breakfast was a self-service buffet affair and had a huge selection of cooked and fresh food. I was really impressed with the array of fresh fruit on offer. Often in hotels you'll find fruit salad of the tinned variety - but in Lusty Beg there were several types of freshly chopped melon, strawberries, apples, oranges and more. For the rest of our meals we found that the restaurant and bar menu (one and the same) had something to satisfy all tastes. Highlights for me were the Chicken Liver Pâté starter and the Lamb Steak main. Both were flavourful and satisfying. I also sampled the freshly baked scones, served with cream and jam, as we sheltered from a sudden downpour on our second afternoon there. They were the perfect antidote to the inclement weather. Who could say no to a scone and a cuppa by the fire on a rainy afternoon?!
Unfortunately, we never made it to 'The Thatch' - the small, thatched pub on the island because we didn't realise it was there on the first night and on the Sunday night it was closed - but it looked like a lovely spot. I'll just have to go back to make sure ;) I did, however, treat myself to a 'Lusty Lady' cocktail from the very tempting cocktail menu in the main bar and it was absolutely divine.
Something that struck me while I was there was how Lusty Beg offers so much for such a relatively small place. It took under an hour for the girls and I to stroll around the circumference of the entire Island (and I mean stroll - we were very leisurely!) yet, there were tons of things to do. Besides the gorgeous spa, there is a beautiful nature trail, a 4x4 off-road driving course (including an option for under 12s!), archery, canoe hire, clay pigeon shooting and boat hire all available on site. There is also a playground and a games room available to residents.
That, coupled with the wide range of accommodation types (self catering and B&B), means it's suitable for all types of visitors. From weddings or conferences to family breaks, girlie weekends and hen & stag parties - Lusty Beg could easily cater from them all.
I could also imagine using it for myself as a writer's retreat. It's incredibly quiet, full of inspiring views and, as there is no wifi on the island (except in the restaurant/bar), there is a lot less temptation for procrastination. I might even get some work done!
Mostly, I'd love to go back with my family in tow. Not only would my girls and Devo enjoy the activities on-site but there are some fabulous attractions in the area too. I have the Marble Arch Caves, Belleek Pottery and Enniskillen Castle on my 'to-see' list. I also spotted the Sheelin Antique Lace Museum in the area and regret not stopping for a peep.
Lusty Beg is a pretty unique and utterly charming destination. A perfect getaway to relax and unwind. I highly recommend a visit!
Disclosure: I was invited to visit Lusty Beg island resort as a guest, for the purposes of review. As always, all opinions are my own and I was not paid to give them. Huge thank you to the staff of Lusty Beg and Rachel Dalton Communications for their time and generosity.
I want to go! It sounds absolutely gorgeous.

Lawmaker says attorney general acted for oil, gas industry
By Dan Elliott Associated Press
Friday, Feb. 10, 2017 3:23 PM
Updated: Friday, Feb. 10, 2017 5:41 PM
Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman set a Friday deadline for Boulder County to rescind its moratorium on oil and gas drilling, saying it contradicts a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that only the state can regulate the industry.
Associated Press file
DENVER – A Democratic state lawmaker on Friday accused Republican Attorney General Cynthia Coffman of acting "at the behest of oil and gas companies" when she threatened to sue Boulder County over its moratorium on drilling.
Sen. Matt Jones, who represents part of Boulder County, made the statement during a debate on the Senate floor.
"Oil and gas companies have a lot of resources to sue. They have chosen not to," Jones said in an interview after the debate. "She chose to sue so they could drill in Boulder County, so she has done it at their behalf."
Coffman declined to respond to Jones' allegation. Her spokeswoman, Annie Skinner, declined to say whether Coffman had spoken with any energy industry representatives before deciding to challenge the moratorium.
Coffman set a Friday deadline for the county to rescind the moratorium, saying it contradicts a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that only the state can regulate the industry.
The heavily Democratic county hasn't budged. County Attorney Ben Pearlman said Thursday the county is prepared to defend the moratorium in court. He said he believes the measure is legal because its purpose is to give the county time to revise its outdated regulations.
"We've been working diligently on that," he said.
Coffman said the county is wrong.
"Plain and simple, Boulder County is violating state law and has left my office with no option other than to enforce the law," she said in a written statement. "It would be patently unfair for some local governments to be forced to comply with state law while allowing Boulder to continue with its illegal moratorium."
Boulder has had a moratorium in place since 2012, extending it several times. Commissioners voted in December to extend it until at least May 1.
Regulating the energy industry is a contentious issue in Colorado, where rich oil and gas fields sometimes overlap with growing communities.
In May, the state Supreme Court overturned restrictions imposed by Longmont and Fort Collins, saying local governments have no authority to regulate the industry. That was the ruling Coffman cited when she warned Boulder.
Pearlman said that ruling left room for a moratorium like Boulder's, intended to give officials time to revise their rules.
Sam Mamet, executive director of the Colorado Municipal League, said a moratorium is "a commonly used practice."
"If it goes to court, I think we'd be on the side of Boulder County" and file a friend-of-the-court brief, Mamet said. But he said he hopes Coffman and the county can reach an agreement.
Previous attorneys general have sued local governments over actions they considered illegal. Republican Gale Norton, who held the office in the 1990s, said she filed several lawsuits over local oil and gas restrictions.
"Consistently over the last 20 years or so, local governments have lost every one of those lawsuits," she said.

Report: Obama Admin Blocked Counter-Proliferation Efforts Against Iran During Iran Deal Negotiations
By Aaron Bandler
A new report details how Barack Obama's administration undercut the counter-nuclear proliferation efforts of agents and prosecutors against Iran during negotiations for the Iran deal.
The report, chronicled in a lengthy Politico piece, highlights how the Justice and State Departments halted cases against various Iranian figures working to obtain the necessary materials to arm the terror regime in Tehran starting in 2014.
Obama administration officials would not give the go-ahead to allow agents and prosecutors to move forward with investigations against these figures. Consequently, a number of important individuals who were under scrutiny for being involved in Iran's nuclear proliferation ended up slipping out of the grasp of agents and prosecutors.
Additionally, the Obama administration granted clemency to seven Iranian prisoners under the auspices of being held on "sanctions-related offenses" and "violations of the trade embargo." But the Politico report notes that "some of them were accused by Obama's own Justice Department of posing threats to national security":
Three allegedly were part of an illegal procurement network supplying Iran with U.S.-made microelectronics with applications in surface-to-air and cruise missiles like the kind Tehran test-fired recently, prompting a still-escalating exchange of threats with the Trump administration. Another was serving an eight-year sentence for conspiring to supply Iran with satellite technology and hardware. As part of the deal, U.S. officials even dropped their demand for $10 million that a jury said the aerospace engineer illegally received from Tehran.
To make matters worse, the administration also dropped cases against 14 Iranian fugitives who were being investigated for proliferating arms and material for Iran's nuclear ambitions:
Three of the fugitives allegedly sought to lease Boeing aircraft for an Iranian airline that authorities say had supported Hezbollah, the U.S.-designated terrorist organization. A fourth, Behrouz Dolatzadeh, was charged with conspiring to buy thousands of U.S.-made assault rifles and illegally import them into Iran.
A fifth, Amin Ravan, was charged with smuggling U.S. military antennas to Hong Kong and Singapore for use in Iran. U.S. authorities also believe he was part of a procurement network providing Iran with high-tech components for an especially deadly type of IED used by Shiite militias to kill hundreds of American troops in Iraq.
The biggest fish, though, was Seyed Abolfazl Shahab Jamili, who had been charged with being part of a conspiracy that from 2005 to 2012 procured thousands of parts with nuclear applications for Iran via China. That included hundreds of U.S.-made sensors for the uranium enrichment centrifuges in Iran whose progress had prompted the nuclear deal talks in the first place.
Naturally, prosecutors and agents were enraged that their painstaking, years-long work was being sabotaged by the Obama administration, allowing national security threats to escape justice, which the administration "downplayed."
"Even though these men's crimes posed a direct threat to U.S. national security, the administration has essentially told them their efforts have produced nothing more than political capital that can be traded away when politically expedient," David Locke Hall, an ex-DOJ counter-proliferation prosecutor, told Politico.
David Albright, who has conducted "decades of scientific research into Iran's secret nuclear weapons" and is in "regular close contact with federal authorities" as a result, told Politico, "We are shooting ourselves in the foot, destroying the infrastructure that we created to enforce the laws against the Iranians."
Iran is still believed to have been continuing their illicit proliferation efforts, but agents are unable to pursue cases against them because the United States' counter-proliferation efforts are still murky, although there is some optimism that the new administration will provide "more support for their efforts."

First issue of the PhotosMots collection, CYCLE is the creation ground of two French artists: Véronique L'Hoste, photographer, and Francois Borel-Hänni, writer. Their works, a photographic series of 21 images and a short story of about ten pages, share subtle links. So does the layout with the book-binding. While printed on two different sized notebooks, they fit in one another, as images and words intefere.
Véronique L'Hoste's images show a lag or even a crack. She performs alone, staging herself in inanimate and icy landscapes. François Borel-Hänni's challenge is to combine his universe with that of Veronique.
His poetic and contemplative writing offers like a a background music while watching the pictures.

Chaldean Catholics in Iraq praying that pope visit will be possible
Cardinal Pell: Vatican financial reform making 'massive' progress
Church works to promote peace in Mexico's violent Guerrero state

By David Agren • Catholic News Service • Posted November 20, 2015
ACAPULCO, Mexico (CNS) — Father Adolfo Silva Pita celebrates a monthly memorial Mass for the deceased in a lower-middle-class neighborhood on the outskirts of this tourist town, once famous for sun, fun and celebrities, but notorious now for drugs, crime and killings.
Father Silva, pastor of Our Lady of Fatima Parish in a working-class neighborhood, said the Mass imparts "a message of comfort, hope and peace" for families who have lost loved ones, often in violent acts. The families also ask for individual memorial Masses, he said, "but there's a list of more than 400 names."
Such is the seriousness of the security situation in many of the Acapulco's working-class barrios, far from the well-protected tourist strip. Extortion and kidnap can be common. Acapulco recorded 29 murders in a four-day period earlier in November, while at least 50 schools closed due to security concerns.
The city reflects the wider security concerns in the state of Guerrero, which includes Acapulco. The state is known for the kidnapping and presumed killing of 43 teacher trainees in 2014 and is making headlines again for slayings and shootings, including 12 dead after gunmen burst into a clandestine cockfighting ring earlier in November.
Bishops in Guerrero responded to the insecurity and to the inauguration of a new governor with a Nov. 1 pastoral letter calling for dialogue and prioritizing attention to victims of violence. Archbishop Carlos Garfias Merlo told reporters Nov. 3 that the dialogue and attention should include the victimizers, not just the victims.
"Words are a privileged instrument for the authorities to engage citizens, and the citizenry includes those who are criminals as well," he said.
"At some point, it's going to be necessary," Archbishop Garfias told Catholic News Service Nov. 19, when asked about his earlier comments. "If those who offend seek out the authorities, we have to attend to them. We can't say, 'We're not going to attend to them because they're bad.'"
The idea is not without critics — a deal between gangs in El Salvador, brokered in part by a Catholic bishop, proved controversial and did not last. The inclusiveness strategy is reflective of the advice provided by Colombian priests, who have been brought in to share perspectives on their own difficulties, which include fomenting dialogue with those on the wrong side of the law.
"I'm all for dialogue, but only if the other side has a legitimate cause or grievance," said Jorge Kawas, a Mexican security analyst. "Talking to armed militias is one thing, but talking to criminal groups that have no real political agenda and have instead undertaken violent crimes as a way of living will only legitimize their actions, delegitimize the government."
The strategy also reflects the priorities of the Archdiocese of Acapulco, which has focused on providing attention to victims of violence since Archbishop Garfias arrived five years ago. The archdiocese exemplifies going to the periphery, a concept often preached by Pope Francis, who is expected to arrive in Mexico Feb. 12.
The archdiocese organized a week of activities promoting peace, which included a seminar, marches and Mass celebrations. It also attempted to raise awareness of attending to victims of violence, especially by government officials, who often do not open investigations. Critics say government actions cause many victims to suffer in silence instead of denouncing the crimes committed against them.
"It's very important that the authorities, at the local and state levels, are close by and offer services to victims," Archbishop Garfias said. "The authorities need to gain credibility and trust from the society. One of the ways to do that is by providing attention to victims of violence."
The programs established by the archdiocese include reaching out to young people, including those likely to be recruited into gangs. Psychological services are offered, along with pastoral attention, although participation in the programs is open to anyone.
Jacqueline Perez, a parish participant, joining a march for peace, said volunteers seek out young people and invite them into organized activities. The activities offer promising results, until the young people head home.
"Young people need help from their parents," who are often absent due to work, she said. "We don't see them after they leave."
Father Silva said something similar happened away from the tourist strip, in the barrios — where armies of maids, waiters and drivers reside far from the sight of visitors — as young people were left unattended by parents working long hours.
"About seven to 10 years ago, (Acapulco) turned into a place where young people started participating in bad things, in narcotics trafficking, kidnapping gangs," he said. "They're now dead because the young people getting into those things last on average two years, then they're killed."
"The new generation," Father Silva added, "has the same temptation of easy money."
Priests in the peace promotion program say it is spreading to other parts of Mexico, serving as a sort of template for dioceses in troubled corners of the country to replicate.
Many of the programs go beyond the religious. Father Silva said the nongovernmental group Doctors Without Borders set up in the parish as it fought dengue fever in Acapulco.
"They noticed in the neighborhood that there was another emergency: People were terrorized, with anxiety and psychological problems," he said, adding the group hired eight psychologists and offers at least 300 appointments per month.
"It's a big help because the government isn't doing anything, and the church doesn't have any resources, but fortunately, with the funds we receive, we can carry out this work," he said of the peace promotion campaign.

NEXT: Proclaim the Gospel, not the institution, pope says
vickie H. says:
Why is it so difficult for Mexico to hire police to protect their people. I am not only saddened by the treatment that I witnessed in Baja,mexico by the police who constantly pulled me over for no reason but to harass me and take my money. I will never cross the border again because I was so discriminated against for no reason other than I am a US female citizen that had no rights. The questions and name calling by the police to me were so ignorant that I wondered how they pass a test to become an officier of the law. The Mexican people fear the police more than the gangs.
What and who is going to educate these horrible men who think they have a right to beat up innocent people because they have no money to give them.
The border is 90 miles from my home and when crossing you take your life into your own hands. Their is a very slim chance of getting help from the police but instead you must protect yourself from them.

In the previous bulletin in this series municipal administrators were asked to identify what information they considered to be useful for informing residents about becoming more active (Bulletin 6). An overwhelming majority (79%) cited 'information about ways to inspire Canadians to be more active' as important for facilitating participation. The 2015 Survey of Physical Activity Opportunities in Canadian Communities also asked municipal administrators to identify information they feel is useful for informing the development of physical activity and sport programming and services. This bulletin will aim to highlight these findings both overall and by region and community size.

Cate, Capers, Creepy Kids, More: Your Flagrant June Movie Preview
The Summer movie season is in full swing, and there are more options in June other than just hoping Chris Pratt gets eaten by a dinosaur. Here's the 411:
Ocean's 8, a.k.a. Women Steal Things Better
June 8 — This much-awaited womanly Ocean's update boasts a fabulous premise (an attempted heist at the Met Gala) and an all-star cast. In addition to Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett, there's Sarah Paulson, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, Anne Hathaway, and someone named Awkwafina. (Note: We are referring to an actual actress — not the talking dolphin from Bojack Horseman.) Judging by the newest trailer, it looks like slick fun.
Hereditary, a.k.a. Muriel's Personality Disorder
June 8 — Toni Collette is back in this supernatural horror thriller about a dysfunctional family and a psychopathic little girl. According to the film's creepy af trailers, it features telekinesis, dead animals, a bug-covered corpse, a body being sucked into a treehouse, and a murdery version of Barbie's Dreamhouse. Oh, and a lot of tongue popping.
Hearts Beat Loud, a.k.a. Bring Your Daughter to Werk Day
June 8 — This is about a dad (Nick Offerman) reconnecting with his gay daughter (Kiersey Clemons) through music! What's not to love?? Oh, and there's Toni Collette again.
Won't You Be My Neighbor?, a.k.a. We Really Need a Mr. Rogers Movie Right Now
June 8 — Fred Rogers, the cardigan-wearing, sneaker-sporting TV host who changed children's lives and subtly educated America, is finally getting his due. In this doc, the face and heart of the long-lived program Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood is presented as a subversive iconoclast who heroically tackled topics such as death, divorce, and racism — all while wearing a smile. We could really use this right now. Even the trailer is bringing us to tears.
Incredibles 2, a.k.a. Mrs. Incredible Pulls a Beyonce
June 15 — Incredibles 2 has all the characters we loved from the first Incredibles — including the fabulously cranky Edna Mode — but with a new twist: Mrs. Incredible has gone solo. Now she's the one doing the saving, while the hunky Mr. Incredible is stuck at home with the kids. We can't wait to see how this turns out.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, a.k.a. Jurassic Park 47
June 22 — We may have hit Jurassic Fatigue. Dinosaurs are cool, but isn't Chris Pratt a Republican now? Also, we're a little suspicious about how this movie — which begins with a spectacular volcanic eruption — is coming out just as Kilauea is exploding all over Hawaii. The timing is a little too perfect, if you ask us. Now, did the marketing team behind Jurassic World 2 purposely tamper with the Earth's tectonic plates in order to cause a devastating eruption just as their movie was coming out? We're not saying no.
Under the Silver Lake, a.k.a. The Da Vinci Ho
June 22 — After the love of his life goes missing, Sam (Andrew Garfield) finds a strange symbol in her apartment that leads him on a journey involving pop culture references, secret patterns, uncrackable codes, hidden meanings, a woman dressed like Frida Kahlo, a Game of Throne-esque wall of faces, a wizard, billionaires, celebrities, a creepy laughing old man, Riki Lindhome, and the titular Silver Lake. Or Sam is just paranoid. In any case, it's coming from It Follows director David Robert Mitchell, so it's probably good.
Ideal Home, a.k.a. Children Are Annoying and Should Be Caged
June 29 — This movie looks like trash. The two gay men at the center are portrayed as immature, rather than career-focused, for not wanting or having children, and the bitchy gay men are also played by straight men (Paul Rudd and Steve Coogan.) There's also femme-shaming. That being said, Paul Rudd looks great in a beard, and the movie at least has a gay spin on the "two and a half men" trope. Props to the copywriter who came up with the double-entendre tagline for the films poster: "These Dads Suck." But the movie still looks trash.

We optimised MutationDistiller's HPO weights on a set consisting of known disease mutations from ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/) linked with HPO terms: We obtained all pathogenic ClinVar entries with at least two HPO terms; a total of 188 cases linked with 142 different genes. Please refer to our web site for this test set. We spiked these mutations into the HG00377 exome from the 1000 Genomes Project (http://www.internationalgenome.org/) and sent them, together with the associated HPO terms, to MutationDistiller. Subsequently, we iterated through a range of weight combinations (245 combinations in total) for direct, ancestor and descendant matches and compared the results. If the disease mutation was found, we then observed the distribution of the ranks given to the genes containing the disease mutation across all weight combinations. We only regarded the first 100 ranks, denoting any cases beyond that as not found. Genes with the exact same score were given the same rank.
A VCF file containing all the ClinVar variants we used, together with their HPO symptoms, can be found here.
The results for all iterations through 245 different weight combinations for direct HPO matches, ancestor and descendant term matches can be accessed here.
The combination currently integrated into MutationDistiller is marked by an asterisk. We chose this combination as it is balanced and consistently ranks the causative gene highly while showing a low rate of unsolved cases.
To validate MutationDistiller's HPO-based prioritisations, we compared it to other tools sharing similar properties: In our test, we included widely used and freely available functional state-of-the-art tools which do not require any software installation or user login, can analyse single patient VCF files, and offer HPO-based prioritisations. We found three different algorithms fulfilling these criteria: eXtasy, obtained from github (version 2014-02-19) and the PhenIX and HiPhive algorithms incorporated into Exomiser (version exomiser-cli-10.0.1).
For our analyses, we used default settings for all algorithms, which is what an untrained user would be expected to do. For each of the algorithms, we had to rely on locally installed versions as the online tools were not working reliably or fast enough for our purposes. We tested the software on a set of 101 solved patient cases from the Charité Berlin. These instances of rare, early-onset Mendelian disorders were provided by clinicians and researchers working in the Department of Neuropaediatrics and the Institute of Medical Genetics and Human Genetics. We used newly found disease mutations which were not yet included in ClinVar, together with the HPO symptoms assigned to the patient and information on the expected mode of inheritance (if available). The set included a range of disorders and various types of mutations as well as compound heterozygous cases. We spiked the known causative variant for each case into the same 1000G exome VCF file used for optimisation of MutationDistiller (HG00377). As the eXtasy algorithm is not capable of working with all HPO terms, we removed for this tool the terms not found in eXtasy's database from our set. This limited our set for eXtasy analysis to 88 cases. Moreover, eXtasy's entry options are limited to 10 HPO symptoms per case. In the 7 cases with more than 10 HPO terms, we thus randomly removed symptoms to reach only 10 terms.
We then sent the resulting VCF files, the HPO identifiers and mode of inheritance information submitted by the clinicians to the different tools. For MutationDistiller, we used the HPO weight settings determined in the optimisation procedure described above. The tools included into this comparison do not provide a score for known pathogenic variants, which is why we decided not to take into account MutationDistiller's ClinVar score at this stage.
As in the optimisation step, we recorded the ranks allocated to the genes containing the index mutation, capping at rank 100. For the four tools or algorithms, we then compared the distribution of ranks for the index genes.
Exomiser: To assess the prioritisation of Exomiser, we used its Exomiser gene pheno score, which does not include the variant prediction but only the phenotypic assessment of the gene.
eXtasy: For eXtasy, we had to distinguish between cases in which only one HPO term was used for analysis and cases with more than one term. In cases with a single HPO term, we ranked the files by the result score; in combined cases by the provided statistical score as the program outputs a result score for each HPO term separately.

RFID Human Implant Controversy Roundup
Image: a VeriChip RFID implant, via.
The implantation if RFID chips in humans has been making the news quite a bit lately — most notably with last week's California legislature passing a bill banning companies from requiring employees to have RFID chips surgically implanted. I had no idea there were companies doing this — and that it could even be remotely legal, though they are licensed by the federal government to do so. Other states have banned RFID implantation as well. Hopefully the CA bill will get signed into state law. One of the companies is a video surveillance company, snip:
"RFID is a minor miracle, with all sorts of good uses," Simitian said. "But we shouldn't condone forced 'tagging' of humans. It's the ultimate invasion of privacy."
Simitian said he fears that the devices could be compromised by persons with unauthorized scanners, facilitating identity theft and improper tracking and surveillance.
The bill has been approved by the state Assembly and now goes to the governor.
Nine senators opposed the measure, including Bob Margett (R-Arcadia), who said it is premature to legislate technology that has not yet proved to be a problem. "It sounded like it was a solution looking for a problem," Margett said. "It didn't seem like it was necessary."
One company, VeriChip, has been licensed by the Food and Drug Administration to sell implanted identification devices, and about 2,000 people have had them implanted, Simitian said. A representative of the firm did not return calls seeking comment Thursday.
CityWatcher.com, a Cincinnati video surveillance company, has required employees who work in its secure data center to have a microchip implanted in an arm.
Similar technology has been used for years to help identify lost pets.
Link (via).
Well, we should certainly hope it gets passed, not just for "big brother" reasons, now that studies have come to light showing that RFID chips are producing malignant tumors in animals. This makes me worry about my cat (and about my friends who have experimented with "chipping" themselves). The studies are from the 1990s, and the FDA pretty much looked the 'other way' at the studies — now here's the fucked up part. The FDA is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, whose head at the time of the RFID implant approval has since left to work at — you guessed it — an RFID implant company. Snip from a lengthy WaPo piece with tons of information about what looks like a gross coverup:
(…) While also warning that the chips could cause "adverse tissue reaction," FDA made no reference to malignant growths in animal studies.
Did the agency review literature on microchip implants and animal cancer?
Dr. Katherine Albrecht, a privacy advocate and RFID expert, asked shortly after VeriChip's approval what evidence the agency had reviewed. When FDA declined to provide information, she filed a Freedom of Information Act request. More than a year later, she received a letter stating there were no documents matching her request.
"The public relies on the FDA to evaluate all the data and make sure the devices it approves are safe," she says, "but if they're not doing that, who's covering our backs?"
Late last year, Albrecht unearthed at the Harvard medical library three studies noting cancerous tumors in some chipped mice and rats, plus a reference in another study to a chipped dog with a tumor. She forwarded them to the AP, which subsequently found three additional mice studies with similar findings, plus another report of a chipped dog with a tumor.
Asked if it had taken these studies into account, the FDA said VeriChip documents were being kept confidential to protect trade secrets. After AP filed a FOIA request, the FDA made available for a phone interview Anthony Watson, who was in charge of the VeriChip approval process. (…)
(…) And what of former HHS secretary Thompson?
When asked what role, if any, he played in VeriChip's approval, Thompson replied: "I had nothing to do with it. And if you look back at my record, you will find that there has never been any improprieties whatsoever."
FDA's Watson said: "I have no recollection of him being involved in it at all." VeriChip Corp. declined comment.
Thompson vigorously campaigned for electronic medical records and healthcare technology both as governor of Wisconsin and at HHS. While in President Bush's Cabinet, he formed a "medical innovation" task force that worked to partner FDA with companies developing medical information technologies.
At a "Medical Innovation Summit" on Oct. 20, 2004, Lester Crawford, the FDA's acting commissioner, thanked the secretary for getting the agency "deeply involved in the use of new information technology to help prevent medication error." One notable example he cited: "the implantable chips and scanners of the VeriChip system our agency approved last week."
After leaving the Cabinet and joining the company board, Thompson received options on 166,667 shares of VeriChip Corp. stock, and options on an additional 100,000 shares of stock from its parent company, Applied Digital Solutions, according to SEC records. He also received $40,000 in cash in 2005 and again in 2006, the filings show.

AAPL Company iOS Devices iPhone Apple News iPhone 6
Reuters is reporting that Apple has now received one of the two licences needed to allow it to sell the iPhone 6 in China. There is no word yet on the second licence required before the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus can be launched in this hugely important market.
Apple Inc's iPhone 6 received regulatory approval for use on domestic frequencies but still requires one more critical licence before it may be sold in the country, the official Xinhua news agency reported on Thursday […]
Apple still needs to obtain a critical network access licence for the iPhone, after which sales may begin, Xinhua said …
Major Chinese business paper claims iPhone 6 won't go on sale in China this year – reliability unclear
Bloomberg is quoting a report from the major Chinese business paper 21st Century Business Herald that the iPhone 6 may not go on sale in China this year due to regulatory delays. Apple was unable to confirm a launch date in the country.
Apple may have to wait until next year to get approval for new iPhones in China after failing to reach agreement with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology this month, the 21st Century Business Herald reported today, citing an unidentified person close to Apple.
Carolyn Wu, a Beijing-based spokeswoman for Apple, said she couldn't provide a date for the China release. "China is a key market for us and we will get here as soon as possible," Wu said in an e-mail today …

Apple offers to settle Proview iPad trademark dispute, 'Big Gap' remains in reaching agreement
Jordan Kahn - May. 7th 2012 7:03 am PT
According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple offered to settle with Chinese company Proview after a long, ongoing battle over the iPad trademark in China. While the amount of compensation offered was not disclosed, Proview's lawyers have not agreed to the deal and claim a "big gap' remains in reaching a settlement.
Recently, there was speculation that the trademark battle might have led to Apple holding off from launching the new iPad in the country. The case and negotiation process will continue at the Higher People's Court of Guangdong, while separate complaints filed by Proview in February will seek compensation for alleged infringement of IP laws in the country.
In an interview with Xinhua on Sunday, Proview's lawyer Xie Xianghui was positive negotiations were progressing:
"We feel that the attitude of Apple Inc. has changed. Although they expressed that they were willing to negotiate, they have never taken any action before. But now, they are having conversations with us, and we have begun to consult on the case."

Five charged after Chinese teenager sells kidney to buy iPad, iPhone
Élyse Betters
- Apr. 6th 2012 8:43 am PT
iPad AAPL Company iPhone Apple News china
Last year, a Chinese teenager sold his kidney in southern China to buy an iPad and iPhone. Now his renal deficiency is deteriorating, and five people have been charged with intentional injury related to the operation.
The teenager is known in reports by only his surname Wang. According to Reuters (via Xinhua News Agency), prosecutors in Changzhou city, Hunan province claim Wang is suffering from renal deficiency, which also means he is facing a potentially life-threatening decrease in kidney function.
"I wanted to buy an iPad 2 but could not afford it," said the boy […]. "A broker contacted me on the Internet and said he could help me sell one kidney for 20,000 yuan."
On April 28th, the boy went to Chenzhou City in neighboring Hunan Province for the kidney removal surgery arranged by the broker. He was paid 22,000 yuan (an extra 2,000–) or $3,400 after his right kidney was taken out at Chenzhou's famous No. 198 Hospital.
One of the five defendants earned 220,000 yuan (or $35,000 USD) to arrange the transplant, and then he paid Wang 22,000 yuan for the kidney and split the remainder with the surgeon, three other defendants, and various medical staff. The Xinhua report did not detail who received and paid for the kidney.

CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) -- What was evident all weekend for Lindsey Vonn became clear to everyone else on Sunday.
"I've had four surgeries on my right knee. I've got no LCL (lateral collateral ligament) on my left knee. I've got two braces on. There's only so much I can handle and I might have reached my maximum," Vonn said. "I'm not sure.

Stanley Houghton's "Hindle Wakes," an obscure British play from 1912 that's been dusted off and revivified by the Mint Theater Company, begins with a storm. Lightning flashes, the air rumbles and Sarah and Christopher Hawthorn wait fretfully for their grown daughter, Fanny, to return from her holiday.
Inside their kitchen, they light the gas lamps, and it's all very lulling — until, out of nowhere, comes a thunderclap so bold and startling that, at the performance I saw, at least a half dozen spectators visibly jumped out of their seats. Bravo, then, to the sound designer, Jane Shaw, but kudos also to Houghton, whose play proceeds much along the same pattern — gentle as a summer rain until, bam, in Act 2, something electric happens to charge the air.
Gus Kaikkonen's handsome, rough around the edges production, at the Clurman Theater, makes a better case for the play as a curiosity than a forgotten gem, though. This is a paean to women's sexual freedom from a time before they even had the right to vote.
Scandal is brewing from the start. Fanny (Rebecca Noelle Brinkley), a weaver at the local cotton mill, told her parents that she was vacationing with a female friend — and she was, until she met Alan Jeffcote (the appealing Jeremy Beck), the mill owner's overindulged son, and went off to have a fling with him.
Piecing this together, her parents are determined that Alan, who is already engaged to the wealthy Beatrice (Emma Geer), make amends for his flagrant indiscretion. To them, and to Alan's father, Nathaniel, that means marrying Fanny.
This is a play about class, ambition and self-determination, but it's even more concerned with the suffocating effects of paternalism. Much of the first act is a negotiation between Nathaniel and Christopher (Ken Marks), who are employer and employee but also friends from way back. That's why Nathaniel, played by Jonathan Hogan with a nice combination of steeliness and flickering warmth, can't ignore the damage to Fanny's reputation. He vows to cut Alan off if he doesn't make things right.
Houghton died at 32, the year after "Hindle Wakes" made its debut, which may explain the deep sympathy he has for his younger characters — even Alan, who's not a bad sort, just an entitled twit who can't seem to help stuffing one foot after the other into his mouth.
"Didn't you ever think of me?" Beatrice asks, once she learns of the affair with Fanny.
"Yes, Bee, I suppose I did," he says. "But you weren't there, you see, and she was. That was what did it."
Beatrice turns out to be tougher than you might expect. So does Fanny, and once she starts talking, her perspective jolts the stage with fresh energy. In all of these discussions about her life, no one has thought to solicit her opinion.
"You can't understand a girl not jumping at you when she gets the chance, can you?" she asks Alan. And no, actually, he can't. So in this play more than a century old, she proceeds to school him.

Rangaraj Subbiah (born 3 October 1954), professionally known as Sathyaraj, is an Indian actor, producer, director and a media personality who predominantly appears in Tamil and Telugu films.  His 240 films also include works in Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi.

He started his career in antagonistic roles and later played lead roles. He met with success through lead performances in Vedham Pudhithu (1987), Nadigan (1990), Amaidhi Padai (1994), Periyar (2007) and Onbadhu Roobai Nottu (2007). He also received acclaim for supporting roles in Nanban (2012), Mirchi (2013), Raja Rani (2013), Baahubali (2015), Baahubali 2 (2017) and Kanaa (2018). He was also the director of the film Villadhi Villain (1995), starring himself in three different roles.

In 2011, he had a brief career as a television host for the game show Home Sweet Home on STAR Vijay. He has also served as a brand ambassador for Pothys, Susi Emu farms, and Kumaran jewellery Shop.

Early life
Sathyaraj was born as Rangaraj on 3 October 1954 to Subbiah, a doctor, and Nathambal, with two younger sisters, namely Kalpana Mandradiar and Roopa Senapathy. He is an ardent fan of M. G. Ramachandran and Hindi actor Rajesh Khanna. Sathyaraj completed his primary school education in St Mary's Convent school, Coimbatore and later studied for tenth standard from Suburban High School, Ramnagar, Coimbatore. He went to Government Arts College, Coimbatore, for a Bachelor of Science degree in botany.

Sathyaraj's dream was to become an actor, but his mother was against it and forbid him to join cinema. In 1976, in spite of his mother's opposition, he left Coimbatore to enter the Tamil film industry based in Kodambakkam, Chennai.

Sathyaraj entered the film industry after witnessing the shooting of the film Annakili, where he met actor Sivakumar and producer Thiruppur Manian and started pestering them to help him fulfill his cinematic ambitions. Sivakumar vehemently criticized his interest in acting and advised him to immediately return home. Nevertheless, he remained in Chennai. Producer Maathampatty Sivakumar supported him with sending money every month. He joined the drama troupe of Komal Swamynathan. Sathyaraj's first film in a credited role as an actor was Sattam En Kaiyil, in 1978, where he played a henchman to the main villain played by Thengai Srinivasan in the film. Later, he worked as production manager for the film Kannan Oru Kaikkuzhanthai.

In addition to his managerial role, he also had a small acting part in the film. His first film as the leading hero in Tamil was Saavi in 1985, which was a box office success. He acted in about 75 films from 1978 to 1985, most of which featured Sathyaraj in antagonist roles.

Career

1978–1985: Early career
In his early career between 1978 and 1982, the antagonistic roles he played were often henchman to the main villain M. N. Nambiar and other villains and his role would be minor, while the main lead was Sivaji Ganesan, Jaishankar, Kamal Haasan, Rajinikanth and Vijayakanth. His college friend Manivannan directed Sathyaraj for the first time in the Tamil film January 1 in 1984, where Sathyaraj had a supporting role. Manivannan directed Sathyaraj in about 25 films from 1984 to 2013 and of them 18 had Sathyaraj as the main lead. His screen space as a villain increased after 24 Mani Neram (1984), directed by Manivannan, in which Sathyaraj's role was on par with that of lead actor Mohan. His acting skills in the film were noticed by many and he became famous among the Tamil film audience. Sathyaraj also felt that his villainous roles in  Nooravathu Naal and Anbin Mugavari, both again directed by Manivannan, had better footage than that of Vijayakanth's and Mohan's. In Needhiyin Nizhal (1985), which featured Prabhu in the lead role, Sathyaraj had a minuscule supporting role and played second fiddle to the main villain M. N. Nambiar. Sathyaraj started receiving offers to act as the hero in Tamil films from 1985.  Directors were reluctant to cast him as the protagonist as his second film as a lead actor Iravu Pookkal (1985) was not a success. Most of the films he was part of were of the action genre in this period.

1986–1989: Lead roles
In the 1986 film Kadalora Kavithaigal, he played the lead romantic role and Behindwoods said: "Sathyaraj broke his image of an action hero and came up with a rollicking performance. He is the real star of the film." He received appreciation for playing his role in Mr. Bharath (1986), which revolved around the conflict between father, played by Sathyaraj and son (Rajinikanth). Sathyaraj acted as Rajinikanth's father in the film, though he was in fact 4 years younger than Rajinikanth. Manivannan, being friends with Sathyaraj, kept casting him in roles in his directorial ventures, regularly showcasing different emotions from Sathyaraj in films such as Muthal Vasantham, Palaivana Rojakkal and Vidinja Kalyanam.

After Kadalora Kavithaigal, Sathyaraj had box office hits as the lead hero between 1986 and 1988 such as Mandhira Punnagai, Kadamai Kanniyam Kattupaadu, Poovizhi Vasalile, Makkal En Pakkam (in which he had dual roles),  Annanagar Mudhal Theru, En Bommukutty Ammavukku and Chinnappadass. Manivanan from 1987 onward started casting Sathyaraj in positive roles and their combination had box office hits like Chinna Thambi Periya Thambi, Jallikattu, Ganam Courtar Avargale and Chinnappadas in this period. Sathyaraj received the Best Tamil Actor award in Filmfare Awards South for his performance in Vedham Pudhithu (1987).

Sathyaraj had established himself as a leading actor and in Chinna Thambi Periya Thambi, in which Prabhu and Sathyaraj were cast in the starring role, Prabhu's character played second fiddle to Sathyaraj's character. He played a bespectacled leading man in the commercially successful Ganam Courtaar Avargaley His 99th film was Dravidan and his 100th film was Vaathiyaar Veettu Pillai but the latter fared better at the box office.

1990–1999: Breakthrough
In the 90s, he attempted more films of comedy and action genres and occasionally did romantic films. He had few unsuccessful films such as Madurai Veeran Enga Saami, Magudam, Pangali and Kattalai in this period as he became selective of choosing his roles as main lead hero.   Many of them were commercially successful, such as Velai Kidaichuduchu, Nadigan, Pudhu Manithan, Rickshaw Mama, Walter Vetrivel, Airport, Thai Maaman Veera Padhakkam and Azhagarsamy. Sathyaraj played a dual role as father and son in the box office hit Amaithipadai, which is considered among his best performances. With regard to the film, he has stated: "I have no words for that film, as it took me to the next level as an actor". He also said that he almost did not sign up for the film as it was an antagonist character and he had moved away from antagonist roles and "gained some respectability" with films such as Poovizhi Vaasalile, Vedham Pudhidhu and Walter Vetrivel. After Thai Maaman became successful in 1994, the same team of Sathyaraj and director Guru Dhanapal decided to do their next venture Maaman Magal in 1995, which was also a moderate hit. He acted, produced and directed in his 125th film Villadhi Villain, which had him in three distinct roles and it was a successful project.

His pairing opposite actress Khushbu and Meena became popular in this decade. The box office hits of the pair Kushboo-Sathyaraj include Nadigan, Bramma, Rickshaw Mama, Kalyana Galatta, Suyamvaram and Malabar Police. The on-screen pair of Sathyaraj-Meena together had average grossers such as Thai Maaman, Maaman Magal and Vallal. His chemistry with actors Goundamani and Senthil has been well received and appreciated by the public and hence they have appeared in many movies together from Vaazhkai Chakkaram in 1990.

2000–2009: Comedy and Character roles

The year 2000 proved to be unsuccessful for Sathyaraj. 4 films between 2000 and 2001 Veeranadai, Puratchikkaaran, Aandan Adimai and the comedy film Looty were failures while his commercially successful films were Sundar C.'s Unnai Kann Theduthey, P. Vasu's comedy film Asathal and Suraj's Kunguma Pottu Gounder. As many new young actors such as Ajith Kumar, Vijay and Prashanth who debuted in the 1990s had established themselves successfully by 2000, and others such as R. Madhavan, Jiiva and Srikanth made their mark in the mid-2000s and also since Sathyaraj had been using wigs since 1985 in films as he had begun losing hair since then, critics felt Sathyaraj's career as solo lead actor may end by 2000.

Sathyaraj re-invented himself as a romantic hero with the 2002 film Vivaramana Aalu, as a hero  Maaran and with his performance in the comedy film Aalukkoru Aasai in 2003. Sathyaraj and director Sakthi Chidambaram's combination gave 3 consecutive films, Ennamma Kannu, Maha Nadigan and Englishkaran. His 2004 film Sema Ragalai opposite Devayani was a hit at box office.

Few films like Ramachandra, Sena and Azhagesan received negative reviews in this decade. He co-starred with his son Sibiraj for the first time in Jore which was average. Bizhat described "It's interesting to watch the father – son combination together in Jore. Sathyaraj then acted with his son in 3 more films Mannin Maindhan (2005), Vetrivel Sakthivel (2006) and Kovai Brothers (2006), in which the two were seen as brothers and these were commercially successful. In 2007, he produced a Tamil film Lee, starring his son .

Other Films in the 2000s with Sathyaraj in the lead role that fared well at the box office were 6'2, Vanakkam Thalaiva, Kurukshetram, Adavadi, Periyar and Thangam. He received the Vijay Award for Best Actor for Onbadhu Roobai Nottu in 2007 and was also nominated for his performance in Periyar in the same year, in which he portrayed the life of social reformer and rationalist Periyar E. V. Ramasamy. About the role he said, "I myself being a rationalist, I found it easy to portray his character on screen. His principles and ideologies, like fighting for women's liberation and untouchability, have influenced me to a great extent". Sathyaraj makes a comeback to Tollywood after a long time in the action comedy movie Sankham (2009).

2010–2019: Supporting Actor

In the early 2010's, he accepted supporting roles in films such as Aagathan, Guru Sishyan, Aayiram Vilakku, Uchithanai Muharnthaal, Nanban, Thalaivaa and Raja Rani. In Nanban, he played a college professor and won the Best Supporting Actor awards at the Filmfare, Vijay and SIIMA ceremonies, while in Thalaivaa, Raja Rani, Mirchi and Chennai Express he played father characters. Sathyaraj and Manivannan worked together for the last time in Nagaraja Cholan MA, MLA, which was Manivannan's 50th and last directorial venture before his death. A sequel to Amaidhipadai, it was also the 200th film of Sathyaraj and became a box office bomb.

He ventured into Telugu cinema after long time as a supporting actor in Sankham in 2009 and later did Mirchi in 2012, both of which were successful. He also entered Malayalam cinema with Aagathan in 2009. He played the role of Kattappa in Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and has reprised the role in the sequel Baahubali: The Conclusion (2017).

In 2015, at the age of 60, the media and public at large rechristened him as Kattappa, as he received nationwide popularity for his role in India's biggest motion picture Baahubali: The Beginning. Since the time he made his debut as junior artiste at 24 years of age, he had been wanting to do a historical or a folklore film and it was his long cherished dream. He quoted in an interview in 2015: "I am a great fan of MGR who is popular in folklore films, like NTR in Telugu movies. My dream of doing a folklore at 24 has been realised at 60 through Rajamouli. I played Rajinikanth's father when I was 31 and Rajini was 35, so I never cared for age..it never mattered to me."

He acted as lead role in the film Oru Naal Iravil (2015). A faithful remake of much acclaimed Malayalam movie, Shutter has been helmed by editor turned director, Antony with great integrity. Sathyaraj as the middle aged man brings so much life to his character. In 2016, he acted with his son Sibiraj in Jackson Durai, another addition to the popular "Horror-comedy genre". Followed by the last movie series Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017). He played the role of DC Ratnavel "Randy", a Police officer in the film Mersal (2017) directed by Atlee. Sathyaraj won the Best Supporting Actor – Tamil for the movie Kanaa (2018). The following year, he subsequently starred in films like Jersey, Prati Roju Pandage and Thambi.

2021–present

In 2021, he appears in Tughlaq Durbar,  inspired by Manivannan's political satire Amaidhi Padai. Then Ponram's, MGR Magan which has Sathyaraj and Sasikumar starring. In Theerpugal Virkapadum, he plays the role of a dad who seeks revenge for the injustice meted out to his daughter. In 2022, he had nine releases with notably Etharkkum Thunindhavan, Veetla Vishesham and Love Today which received positive reviews. Following the Telugu Anthology drama series Meet Cute streaming on SonyLiv. In December, the horror thriller Connect was released where sathyaraj played the role of Nayanthara's father.

Personal life
In 1979, Sathyaraj married Maheswari, niece of producer Madhampatti Sivakumar, and had two children, daughter Divya and son Sibiraj, also an actor. Sathyaraj is a staunch atheist.

Sathyaraj and Manivannan shared a close friendship since college and became frequent collaborators in films in Tamil cinema. The Hindu wrote: "His (Manivannan's) friendship with actor Sathiyaraj translated to several memorable moments on screen. Manivannan...along with Sathyaraj epitomised on screen what is colloquially known in Tamil as "nakkal" (snideness)". According to Behindwoods.com, Manivannan (as the director) and Sathyaraj had consecutive hit films together beginning from 1987 to 1994; Chinna Thambi Periya Thambi, Ganam Courtar Avargale, Jallikattu, Vaazhkai Chakkaram, Pudhu Manithan, Therku Theru Machan and Amaidhi Padai. About working with Manivannan, he has said that it "is a pleasure. There's no script, no dialogue sheet. It's all in his head. But, he extracts great performances". Sathyaraj and Manivannan also acted together in several films directed by other directors. About his personal relationship with Manivannan, Sathyaraj remarked "I still reminisce about the beautiful moments that I had with...Manivannan, a genius of a person. In fact, he is the one who taught me many things in life, and changed me, I became a good human from being just an actor. Every day, we used to have conversations over the phone on a wide range of topics. It was a 30-year relationship. No one could understand me the way he did". Manivannan died in 2013 and Sathyaraj has said that just 24 hours before his death they had discussed their next project and that he narrated him a story.
