FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — There are few things that Bill Belichick respects more than history in the NFL.
Part of it is the reverence that Belichick holds for the way Steelers founder Art Rooney and his family has operated a franchise that's remained among the league's best, winning multiple Super Bowl titles more than 30 years apart. It is a model emulated when Robert Kraft bought the Patriots in 1994 and six years later hired Belichick, who has nurtured a "Patriots Way" that has helped bring four Lombardi trophies to New England.
Those histories will collide when two of the most successful programs of the 2000s meet in Sunday's AFC championship game.
Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been a part of both of the Steelers' recent championships, but the 34-year-old's only playoff meeting with the Patriots was the 2005 loss when he was a rookie.
He has spoken often about his respect for the Patriots and Tom Brady , which included him requesting a jersey from Brady prior to Pittsburgh's loss to New England back in October . Big Ben missed that game because of knee surgery. This is the latest opportunity to play in "the lion's den," he said.
Brady is 6-2 in head-to-head matchups with Roethlisberger, but Roethlisberger didn't play in the Patriots' Week 7 win in Pittsburgh because he was recovering from surgery on his left knee.
But Patriots special teams captain Matt Slater said it wouldn't provide any extra motivation.
"We're playing in the AFC championship game. If you can't get motivated to play in this game, then you're in the wrong sport," he said.
RED MEANS STOP: Pittsburgh's high-octane offense ran into some serious hiccups in the divisional round against Kansas City. Seven trips inside the Chiefs' 30 - and four inside the 20 - resulted in no touchdowns, an interception and an NFL playoff record of six field goals from Chris Boswell.
BUD NOT SO LIGHT: Steelers outside linebacker Bud Dupree might be the team's lucky charm. Pittsburgh hasn't lost since Dupree recovered from surgery to repair a sports hernia. The team's first-round pick in 2015 has five sacks in nine games while playing opposite veteran James Harrison.
Though Dupree typically lines up wide of the tight end, he's more than happy to try and go up the middle in an effort to get in Brady's face, something Houston did with limited success last week.
"You've got to do anything you can to try and get in his face," Dupree said.
PLAN B, C & D: Pittsburgh reached the title game despite missing wide receivers Martavis Bryant (suspended) the entire season and Markus Wheaton, Sammie Coates and Darrius Heyward-Bey for long stretches due to injury. In their place are the likes of seventh-round pick Demarcus Ayers, practice squad graduates Xavier Grimble and Cobi Hamilton, as well as undrafted free agent Eli Rogers.

Psychonauts 2 Raises $3.3 Million, Biggest Crowdfunding Goal in Videogame History

Psychonauts fans have been waiting very patiently.
The game just reached (and surpassed) their $3.3 million goal on Fig, which was the highest goal ever in videogame history. Although it isn't the highest amount of money raised for a game crowdfund (Shout out to Star Citizen), it was the first crowdfund in game history to have unaccredited AND accredited investment. The Psychonauts games are made by Double Fine Productions.
The first Psychonauts was a cult classic from 2005 that was about a psychic named Razputin who wants to join a secret agent group of psychics called the Psychonauts. And no, they aren't astronauts. It ended with a cliffhanger, so a second game was pretty necessary for fans everywhere.
"We're so grateful to our backers for giving us this chance to continue the story of Raz and the Psychonauts," said President/CEO Tim Schafer of Double Fine Productions. "Knowing that they will be able to participate as investors in the game makes the whole thing feel more fair and more rewarding."
Watch below to see the people behind the game say thank you.
The campaign still has five days left, so it could potentially make more money.

"Every Morning I Look to You for the Latest Intelligence"
But I wanted to come here today and take a few minutes just to deliver a simple message -- and I delivered it inside, and that is the message of thanks -- to say thank you from me, who use your product each and every day to make some very tough decisions, and to thank you on behalf of the American people, who may not even know that you're here but are relying on you each and every day to make sure that their kids get home safely and that when they commute to work it's going to be okay. To think about the profound impact that all of you are having on the day-to-day life of this nation I think is extraordinary. Your professionalism is essential to protecting this country.
Now, we recently observed the eighth anniversary of that terrible day when terrorists brought so much death and destruction to our shores. And once more we remembered all the lives that were lost. And once more we redoubled our resolve against the extremists who continue to plot against the United States and our allies.
So we need you more than ever. Our troops and our intelligence officers in the field, our diplomats overseas, our law enforcement here at home, they all depend on you -- your analysis, your insights, your ability to work together, across divisions and disciplines, turning information into intelligence and sharing it quickly, in real time, with those who need it.
As I said before, I am one of those consumers of your work product here at NCTC. Every morning I look to you for the latest intelligence. In fact, I think so highly of NCTC that I picked the guy who put NCTC together -- John Brennan -- as my chief adviser for counterterrorism and homeland security. And by the way, John Brennan is here and doing an outstanding job each and every day. He's also, by the way, I think, responsible for getting this spiffy building up and running.
Now, again, a lot of you are working in some obscurity right now. Few Americans know about the work that you do, and this is how it should be. Your assignments require it, and obviously you didn't go into this line of work for the fame and glory, or the glare of the spotlight. You're in this to serve and protect.
But today, I want every American to know about the difference you've made -- especially in recent months and days. Because of you, and all the organizations you represent, we're making real progress in our core mission: to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda and other extremist networks around the world.
We must never lose sight of that goal. That's the principal threat to the American people. That is the threat that led to the creation of this Center. And that must be the focus of our efforts to defend the homeland and our allies, and defeat extremists abroad.

rogerthat at ENENEWS, is always coming up with great stories related to radiation.
…North Dakota's landfills currently can only accept waste with radioactive material up to 5 picocuries, a measurement of the radioactivity found in a gram of material.
A banana has, on average, 3.5 picocuries of radiation.
- safe as bananas … 51,5 is ''the safest level'' … and we're doing this ''to protect the health and safety of North Dakotans''.
PS the frack fluid contains uranium and radium. Uranium is deadly as a heavy metal and mildly radioactive, Radium is a deadly Mohammed Ali style Alpha radiation sucker punch.
so no, I don't see these being anything like a banana even if the "disintegration" were the same. And uranium and radium stick in your body, k40 regulates out within a day.
The comparisons are criminal in nature. Those who know insist on lying in this manner.
Ruh ruh, I sense the "potato chip" deflection. Trying to compare deadly internal alpha radiation to the relatively benign radiation from the potassium in a potato chip, is an improper comparison.
It is a lie to get people complacent, as in, who would be scared of a potato chip and stop eating them….and if not that, why regulate fracking. A government study which breaks out the PCD Potato Chip Deception cannot be trusted out of the gate.
Not improper at all at low doses, they are corrected for biological factors. If you think beta from K-40 is less deadly than other rad, you don't know much about radiation. There's no worry about complacency, irrational fear is too widespread. But the whole point is fracking's problems have nothing to do with radiation, they're all about toxic volatile organic compounds. Toxic chemicals are much more of an environmental threat than radiation has ever been.
You just cant seem to understand basic radiation effects, either internal or external. First you say "deadly alpha radiation" without really quantifying what is a deadly amount. Then you assume that the intent is to get people complacent over eating potato chips. You eat many naturally radioactive foods that emit alphas. Pretty much a certainty if the food was grown in the ground. How about you going to school to learn some basic radiation effects. You just dont seem to get it in your posts here.
Turd, you seem to have an issue with understanding intent. Its laughable that you state my intent was to get people complacent over eating potato chips. My comment was pretty clear that the intent is to get people complacent over radiation….because sheesh, its everywhere, even in potato chips.
Please list your alpha emitters in food, you know the ones commonly found in stuff grown in the ground.
Actually i know quite a bit about radiation. And the "banana lie". And yes, beta from k40 does a lot less harm than alpha emitters which will have a W(r) of at least 20 and maybe even 100. So that is 20 to 100 times more dangerous in the old school way of saying "quality" of the radiation. Plutonium has a W(R) of 112,000 by some accounts, it is an alpha emitter.
I agree that VOCs are very important. But to dismiss the importance of radiation as a danger, using the ol banana or potato chip lie cannot go unchallenged.
People are a lot smarter after Fukushima, and do not take these types of lies and false analogies lying down.
At WIPP, the president at the time of the Plutonium explosion, Mohammed Farok Shariff, stated that inhaling plutonium was like "a dental Xray".
We don't accept those lies either.


MASHANTUCKET, Conn. -- Boston Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly went on the radio Saturday at the team's Baseball Winter Weekend to let listeners know he plans on winning the American League Cy Young award next season.
He didn't back down when asked about his prediction afterward.
Needless to say, the 26-year-old isn't lacking in confidence. Traded to the Red Sox from the St. Louis Cardinals at last season's July 31 deadline, Kelly went 6-4 with a 4.20 ERA in 17 starts between the two teams. Although those numbers don't jump off the screen, Kelly missed a good deal of time early in the season with a hamstring injury, in addition to having to adjust to the American League after being traded.
Looking forward to 2015, Kelly feels it will be a fresh start for him.
Kelly certainly let his personality show Saturday in joking around with reporters while wearing a T-shirt that read "I'm not weird, I'm a pitcher." However, he said he picks his spots when it comes to his mood and noted that on days he takes the mound, he's a completely different person.
"I'm an angry dude when it comes to my start day," Kelly said. "I'm trying to beat the crap out of everybody I see. I want to dominate every player, even if it's my best friend. Those other four days, I want to be a good teammate, I want to be in the dugout, I want to be loud, I want to be cheering. ... It's just my personality.
It's that type of bullish mentality that has Kelly believing he'll back up the prediction. Whether you agree is your choice. But teammate Allen Craig, who came with Kelly in the trade from St. Louis to Boston, isn't questioning him anytime soon.
"I wouldn't bet against that guy," Craig said.

Chad: Army says operation against rebels is "over"
156 FACT rebels captured by Chadian army -
DJIMET WICHE/AFP or licensors
By Kizzi Asala
and Africanews
The Chadian army said on Sunday that the operation against rebels who have been on the offensive for a month is "over" and that "the situation has returned to normal".
The fighting began on 11 April, the day of the presidential election in which Idriss Déby Itno was re-elected for the sixth consecutive time. It was during fighting between the army and the Front pour l'alternance et la concorde au Tchad (FACT) that Marshal Déby was killed.
"The war came and we were able to control the situation (...). We cleaned up the place and there is nothing left now. The situation is back to normal," said the army chief of staff, Abakar Abdelkérim Daoud. "Everything is over, the national territory is secure.
Several hundred vehicles and armoured vehicles of the Chadian army returned to the Chadian capital N'Djamena on Sunday to celebrate the end of operations in the west of the country, an AFP journalist noted. The Chadian army presented 156 FACT prisoners to the press, as well as many seized vehicles.
"I ask the authorities to respect their rights as prisoners of war (and to) those who are still in rebellion outside the country to join the legal system so that together they can contribute to building a country of law and democracy," said Béchir Mahadi, head of military operations for FACT, with long, shaggy hair.
Since the beginning of the offensive, the army has claimed to have killed "several hundred" FACT rebels. On Thursday, the new Minister of Defence said that the rebellion was in "disarray".
Based since its creation in 2016 in southern Libya, FACT and its columns of pick-ups first descended from April 11, southward across the Libya-Chad border, then passed through Niger, before returning to Chad in the Kanem.
After the announcement of the death of President Déby, his son Mahamat Idriss Déby took over the reins of the country at the head of a Transitional Military Council (TMC). Surrounded by 14 generals, all loyal to his father, he holds almost all the power. The country's new strongman has promised "free and democratic" elections within 18 months, a period he can extend once.

Search for the all-consuming emptiness...
Help with your PWS
As early as the 18th century, the English natural philosopher John Michell suggested that 'there might exist stars much larger than the sun, for which the escape velocity well exceeds the speed of light.' Two centuries later, towards the end of the 1960s, one John Archibald Wheeler coined the term 'black hole' for an imploded star with an irresistibly strong gravitational pull. Not long after one was found: Cygnus X-1.

One heavy trip
Cygnus X-1 is a so-called 'binary system': a blue star coexisting with a compact object. The compact object has a mass of about 8.5 times that of the sun (the mass of the sun is approximately 2 x 1030 kg), but a volume of only 0 m3! If you were to wander within range of the so-called 'event horizon' of this gaping hole, your (final) destination would be certain. 'One way ticket to the core, please.' This core is a point of infinitely high density and infinitely low volume and the journey to it would not be very comfortable at all...

Large and small black holes
There are various kinds of black holes, each with a different mass. Sagittarius A*, the black hole in the middle of the Milky Way, has an estimated mass of 3.3 million times that of the sun. But there are also hypothetically miniature black holes with masses approaching the Planck mass (approximately 2 x 10-8 kg). The black hole of Cygnus X-1 is fairly run-of-the-mill: not too big, not too small and very common. It's one of the stellar black holes, which occur when a star collapses. The origins of supermassive black holes like Sagittarius A* are completely unknown. It is possible that they might have been created during the very beginnings of the star system itself, but it is also plausible that the black hole evolves alongside the star system.
You can picture a gravitational field as a surface being distorted. The stronger the gravitational force, the more the distortion. ©Christophe Rolland.
Research in Groningen
Understandably, the origins of these supermassive holes are one of the hot research topics here in Groningen. In fact, astronomers at the Groningen Kapteyn Institute have been studying the origins and structures of star systems for more than a century. The Milky Way was originally one of the favourite subjects, but today our researchers study all manner of star systems to discover more about their evolution. They are carrying out extensive research on black holes and their role in the evolution of star systems. For example, they want to know what influence black holes have on the star systems they inhabit. There are indications that the energy produced by black holes in their active phase can inhibit the formation of stars in the system. And why are some black holes so active, emitting huge amounts of energy, while others appear to be 'quiet'? In other words: what turns a black hole on and off?
If a black hole is formed in the centre of a star system, the black hole's mass will effect the shape of that star system. ©Hubble, K. Cordes & S. Brown (STScI).
Space quest for black holes
So there are plenty of questions, but how do you go about studying phenomena such as these? Black holes are light years away from us, often hidden behind interstellar dust clouds and, even worse, they are invisible! These gaping chasms emit absolutely no radiation, because not even light can escape from a black hole. So you can't see them. Of course, we have found solutions to get around this. In the first place, those clouds of dust are easily penetrated with high-tech equipment. After that you need only study the surrounding stars. A star circling a huge blank space at an unusually high speed could indicate the presence of a black hole. Or better yet, you could witness an actual 'engulfment', as a star falling into a black hole emits a bright light before being extinguished.
Dancing on a volcano becomes child's play once you've balanced on the edge of a black hole's event horizon! Accept the challenge in our simulator! ©Hubble.
Your own virtual quest
Do you want to search for black holes? You can at Science LinX! We have installed an observation dome on top of the building especially for our visitors. In this observatory our staff will help you to scan the heavens for black holes and other obscure objects. Would you rather not leave your comfy chair at home, or do you want to practise before your visit to Science LinX? Then our special black hole website is a must-see. You can use this site to comb through a virtual universe and read all about the different black holes you discover. You can also take a virtual trip to a black hole and find out what would happen if you fell in... Our researchers have painstakingly calculated how you will be stretched like a strand of spaghetti because the pull on your feet will be stronger than the pull on your head.
What happens to all those stars engulfed by the All-consuming Emptiness??? Does this sound like an interesting field of research to you? ©NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA-JPL).
Hole filled with questions
Thanks to all our observations, measurements, calculations and virtual journeys, our search for black holes has produced a great deal of information. We know that they exist, that there are several kinds and that they exert a strong influence on the surrounding environments. However, there is still much to be learned. The most intriguing question is what exactly happens in the core of a black hole and what happens to all the objects it engulfs... Any volunteers?

Дава Шавалієв (, 1884 р., урочище Хеечі, Янга-Еркетенівський аймак, Адик-Ікіцохурівській улус (нині Яшкульський район Калмикія), Астраханська губернія, Російська імперія — 1959 р., Калмицька АРСР, РРФСР) —  калмицький рапсод, сказитель калмицького епосу «Джангар», джангарчі, калмицький письменник.

Біографія
Народився в 1884 році в бідній калмицькій сім'ї. Хлопчик часто слухав народні сказання, які співав йому його батько. У 12 років Дава Шавалієв вже знав напам'ять кілька пісень калмицького епосу «Джангар». У зрілі роки Дава Шавалієв знав і виконував всі пісні «Джангара».

У 1938 році був запрошений в  Москву для участі в заходах з підготовки святкування п'ятсотліття калмицького епосу «Джангар». Дава Шавалієв кілька разів виконував пісні «Джанагара» перед московською публікою.

У 1939 році неграмотного Даву Шавалієва як знавця народного калмицького фольклору взяли в Союз письменників СРСР. У цьому ж році він відвідав Москву, де зустрівся з письменником О. О. Фадєєвим і художником В. А. Фаворським, який збирав ілюстрований матеріал для видання епосу «Джангар».

У 1940 році на ювілейному конкурсі виконавців-джангарчі Дава Шавалієв посів друге місце після Мукебюна Басангова.

Помер в 1959 році у віці 75 років.

Творчість
Публікував окремі вірші в місцевих калмицьких періодичних виданнях. Більшість довоєнних віршів Дави Шавалієва були загублені. До нашого часу збереглося кілька звукових записів пісень Дави Шавалієва.

Його творчість характеризується додаванням деяких нових елементів у вже відомі і записані пісні калмицького епосу. Дава Шавалієв не належав до епічної школи Еелян Овла, яка дотримувалася вже усталеного канону епосу «Джанагар». У 1939 році етнограф А. В. Бурдуков записав з його вуст чотири пісні «Джанагара», які були зміненими варіантами з репертуару джангарчі Еелян Овла: «Про одруження богатиря Хонгора», «Про битву джангарових богатирів з Мангна-ханом», «Про Аля-Монхля» і «Про крадіжку скакуна Аранзала».

Взимку 1940 року від Дави Шавалієва були також записані дві пісні "Пісня про поєдинок Джанагара і його богатирів з мангасовим воїном Монхуля, сином Керміна, який володіє гарним жовто-строкатим конем ", об'ємом 310 віршованих рядків і «Пісня про те, як ворожий богатир Аля-Монхля викрав Аранзала-Зерде», об'ємом 558 віршованих рядків. Ці пісні під назвами «Війна Кермена з Монхулою» і «Як вкрали Аранзала» були опубліковані в журналі «Улан Туг» («Червоний Прапор») (№ 7, 1940 рік).

У 1957 році калмицький письменник Балакаєв Олексій будучи три дня в гостях у Дави Шавалієва, записав з його вуст калмицькі благобажання (йөрәл), які були опубліковані в 1960 році калмицькою мовою і в 1964 році — російською мовою.

Mr Richards employed a member of his family, Edward, in his business. He wished to hand over the business to Edward and evidenced his intention to make this gift by endorsing on the lease of the business premises a short memorandum: "This deed" -- that is the deed of leasehold -- "and all thereto belonging I give to Edward from this time forth with all the stock in trade." However, the gift failed because it was imperfect.
There was no express declaration of trust it was intended as an outright gift and not to be held on trust.
"If it is intended to take effect by transfer, the court will not hold the intended transfer to operate as a declaration of trust, for then every imperfect instrument would be made effectual by being converted into a perfect trust.....It is true he need not use the words 'I declare myself a trustee,' but he must do something which is equivalent to it, and use expressions which have that meaning, for, however anxious the court may be to carry out a man's intentions, it is not at liberty to construe words otherwise than according to their proper meaning."

Bohemia Realty Group is featured in the Real Deal!
When the curtains go down each night on Broadway, it's exit, stage north.
That's because a rising number of New York's performers are calling Upper Manhattan home, helped by a collection of brokers who share stage backgrounds.
Bohemia salesperson Kathleen LaMagna found a Harlem rental for Bradley Gibson, who's treading the boards in "Rocky," as a swing — theater speak for a performer who covers multiple roles for absent cast members — and as an understudy for Apollo Creed. Gibson and a roommate took a two-bedroom pad in April.
Bohemia co-founder Sarah Saltzberg, who made her Broadway debut in the Tony Award–winning "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," said artsy types are heading Uptown because it hasn't yet been completely gentrified. "As Harlem and Upper Manhattan have started to become developed … it's only become more attractive," she said.
Bohemia, a brokerage that handles sales and rentals from Inwood to the Upper West Side, has swelled to 68 agents from 42 in January, and 49 of those agents have theater backgrounds.


My 4 year old is a girly girl.
She likes to accessorize. Actually, that's putting it mildly. She has an intense, driving need to accessorize.
...or the fad that lasted for 2 weeks running-- princess crown with heels.
She became quite adept at running through the house in those heels. I would say the upside was that I always knew where she was with all that clacking, but the truth is that the child rarely stops talking so it's almost never an issue.
And not everything she says is very nice either.
This morning she climbed into bed with me and snuggled up close. Then, in the most disgusted voice a 4-year-old can muster she turned away and said "Mommy, you stink like throw up!"
Wow. My self confidence was soaring on that note. Guess I need to keep some mints by the bedside or something.
And after that, I don't feel bad at all that one of her high heels broke today.
That lady is fierce. I can't even make it from the closet to the car without wobbling.
And now I remember the story with the stitches. Yeeouch.
Your posts are so funny! Our girls would have such a great time playing together. And poor Derek would be outnumbered... I hope that one day, we can get together... How does a trip to Arizona this winter sound to you? It's supposed to be fairly nice weather here ;) And Melissa will be here too!!
You always make me laugh out loud!! It's like the time K said (at age 2), "The air from your mouth is baaaaad." Awesome.

DCMS provides £1m in funding for public service mutuals
04 June 2018 by Liam Kay
Organisations have until 29 June to apply for the money
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has made £1m in funding available for public service mutuals.
Public service mutuals are organisations that have left the public sector but continue to deliver public services.
The DCMS funding is open to organisations that either are or intended to be public service mutuals, and must demonstrate they have a significant degree of staff influence or control in the way the organisation is run.
Existing mutuals that apply for the funding must be in their first five years of operation or delivering the organisation's original or extended public service contract that has not been retendered, or both, the DCMS said.
Applicants must demonstrate how the funding would help the organisation grow or diversify, and will have to match the government's funding for their programmes.
The new fund comes after the launch by the DCMS in January of a £1.7m mutuals support programme, which provided support to 12 organisations that wanted to be set up or grow as public service mutuals.
Tracey Crouch, the Minister for Sport and Civil Society, said: "We want to support the development, growth and sustainability of mutuals. Our funding boost has already enabled dozens of organisations to flourish.
"This next round will strengthen our commitment and allow many institutions, staff, and their customers, to benefit from more independence, faster decision-making and less bureaucracy in the future."
Mutuals that wish to apply for funding should email the DCMS at mutuals@culture.gov.uk.
The deadline for applications is 5pm on 29 June.

The reality of what needs to be done following an accident that results in serious injury is often a harsh one.
The first priority is getting the medical attention you need. The medical care needed is necessary to begin your recovery. Unfortunately, the opposing insurance company often works on ways to minimize or deny your claim for compensation.
At Roberts & Kelly, LLP, our attorneys understand what is at stake for those injured in accidents. Failing to secure adequate compensation can leave a person without access to the medical care he or she needs to make a full recovery. We are dedicated to using our combined decades of experience to help people secure the medical care and financial support they need to be able to work through their recovery. We have years of experience handling personal injury cases in the courts located in Miami County (Troy), Shelby County (Sidney), Darke County (Greenville), Logan County (Bellefontaine), Auglaize County (Wapakoneta), and Allen County (Lima), as well as the surrounding area.

In the last article for our series on the concept of poverty, Peru Country Manager and development expert Daniel Salazar discusses the goal of development.
In the past blogposts, we have seen that poverty is the inability to enjoy wellbeing in certain basic areas or dimensions according to what people value. But poverty is the negative; what we are trying to avoid. What is the positive then? What are we trying to achieve?
That depends on your approach to development, or even in you worldview. For instance, according to the monetary approach, the goal is that people achieve high income or many resources. Similarly, from an economic point of view, the goal is that people would be more productive, and so have better jobs, more income, and more access to goods and services they want. In other words, according to these approaches the goal is that people enjoy more stuff so that they can feel good. Fortunately, there is an alternative approach which proposes that the goal be human flourishing, or a good life.
If the monetary an economic approaches focus on having and feeling, the good life approach focuses on enjoying and living. That is, it not only values access to resources, but also to their enjoyment in order to live a life according to the fullness of human capacities and valuations. If a person values art and being with his family more than anything, he need not be super productive or rich in order to have a good life. The goal then is that people have the opportunity to enjoy the kinds of lives they value. Consequently, development is the process of expanding those opportunities.
Rather than trying to give everyone a good life, considering the limited amount of time and resources, it would be better to focus on those with the greatest privations first. Of course, even this is no task for a single person, and there is only so much we can do. But the question is whether we choose to do something for those in greater need, or if we rather worry about us having more stuff and being comfortable. Global volunteers offers the opportunity to serve in some of the most deprived communities in the world directly helping them have better opportunities, whether through community projects, teaching conversational English, caring for orphans or many other projects. Many volunteers say that volunteering abroad is a life-changing experience. Perhaps this is because the good life, fullness of life, is also about investing in the lives of others.

2016 ElectionPoliticsWorld News
CONFIRMED: Putin's Election Hacking Was About Hurting Clinton, Not Helping Trump
Michael Bastasch May 22, 2017
U.S. intelligence overhead a Russian operative brag about targeting Hillary Clinton in the upcoming 2016 presidential election as payback for an "influence campaign" the former secretary of state ran against Vladimir Putin five years earlier.
Senior intelligence officials told Time that a Russian military intelligence officer with GRU said his group "was going to cause chaos in the upcoming U.S. election" to "pay Clinton back for what President Vladimir Putin believed was an influence operation she had run against him" during Russian elections.
In December 2011, protests broke out in 70 Russian cities "organized on social media by a popular blogger named Alexei Navalny, who used his blog as well as Twitter and Facebook to get crowds in the streets," Time reported.
Trending: The Truth About What is Going on in America is Far Worse Than We Want to Admit
Protesters took to the streets amid allegations Putin's party United Russia rigged the election results. The protests were the largest demonstrations since the 1990s and bled into Putin's 2012 presidential campaign.
Putin won his re-election and "dispatched his newly installed head of military intelligence, Igor Sergun, to begin repurposing cyberweapons previously used for psychological operations in war zones for use in electioneering."
U.S. officials who overheard Russian officials discussing their cyber campaign against Clinton wrote up their findings in a report, but intelligence experts didn't see what was coming. (RELATED: Who's The Russian Stooge Now?)
"We didn't really understand the context of it until much later," a senior intelligence official told Time.
Time reported that officials "now realize that the officer's boast was the first indication U.S. spies had from their sources that Russia wasn't just hacking email accounts to collect intelligence but was also considering interfering in the vote."
Time's report runs up against claims made by Democrats and some media outlets that Russian officials tried to help President Donald Trump's campaign during the election. Instead, Putin wanted to hurt Clinton, regardless of who was opposing her. (RELATED: The Media's 'Russia Wanted Trump To Win' Narrative Ignores One Key Detail)
Putin publicly blamed Clinton for the protests, saying she set off the protests with a "signal." The Department of State said it had only funded pro-democracy organizations in the country.
Clinton said the U.S. had "serious concerns" about the 2011 election. She called for a "full investigation of all reports of fraud and intimidation."
"The Russian people, like people everywhere, deserve the right to have their voices heard and their votes counted," Clinton said. "And that means they deserve free, fair, transparent elections and leaders who are accountable to them." (RELATED: Anyone Who Reads About Russian Hacks And Donald Trump Should Read This First)
Four days later more than 50,000 protesters marched on Moscow. Smaller demonstrations had taken place in the previous week. Another major protest took place on December 24.
In May 2012, protesters demonstrated outside in Moscow the day before Putin's inauguration.
"She set the tone for some opposition activists, gave them a signal, they heard this signal and started active work," Putin said of Clinton in 2011. "We need to safeguard ourselves from this interference in our internal affairs."

Le Bagnese è un quartiere del comune di Scandicci.
Si estende, al confine con il comune di Firenze, in un'area delimitata tra il corso del fiume Greve, la via delle Bagnese e via Poccianti.

Etimologia
Il quartiere prende nome dalla famiglia dei Bagnesi, che possedeva in questa zona alcuni terreni oltre a "una casa da signore[...]che nel 1260 venne smantellata dai Ghibellini vittoriosi a Montaperti".

Storia
Negli anni Cinquanta l'area era una zona di campagna e tale sarebbe dovuta rimanere secondo un primo schema di piano regolatore che l'amministrazione comunale commissionava all'architetto Vittorio Stigler nell'aprile 1954, dove le espansioni urbane erano limitate all'area centrale di Scandicci e a quella di Casellina. Nel 1959 però l'amministrazione decise di lottizzare l'area denominata Le Bagnesi su cui sarebbe sorto il nuovo quartiere residenziale caratterizzato oltre che da nuclei abitativi anche da alcune infrastrutture indispensabili, come la piscina e la scuola.

La  "lottizzazione Ritter", nata prima dell'adozione del Piano Regolatore, approvato soltanto nel 1964, dà avvio nel quartiere alla costruzione di abitazioni da parte dei privati. Il risultato è che per trarre maggior profitto possibile, si ridussero notevolmente gli spazi pubblici caratterizzati da aree verdi che, ad oggi, sono dislocate ai margini del quartiere: uno lungo via delle Bagnese dove da alcuni anni ha la sede il circolo Arci e l'altro, lungo l'argine del fiume.

Edifici storici
Villa Passerini
Sul terreno dei Bagnesi dove era attestata la "casa da signore" nel 1427 continua ad essere presente una villa che, all'epoca apparteneva alla famiglia Solosmei. Dopo alcuni passaggi di proprietà fu acquistata da Napoleone Passerini. Sotto la famiglia Passerini, la villa fu oggetto di numerosi interventi di restauro e ampliamenti attestati intorno al 1884.

Villa Poccianti
Nei pressi del ponte 28 febbraio 1921, lungo la Greve, di fronte al mulino, era una casa che la famiglia Nerli adattò a villa. Nel 1591 la vendette alla famiglia Argenti e dal 1615 passò in mano di Stefano di Guglielmo Tani che vi fece alcuni lavori di ampliamento e la dotò di una cappella devozionale dedicata a San Roberto Bellarmino. In seguito ad altri passaggi di proprietà, dal XIX secolo appartiene alla famiglia Poccianti, che diede i natali all'architetto neoclassico toscano Pasquale Poccianti. Viene chiamata anche Villa il Platano dall'alto platano che il conte Guido Poccianti vi fece piantare nel 1812.

What is Correctional Rehabilitation : Online?
The Graduate Certificate in Correctional Rehabilitation provides a better understanding of correctional rehabilitation, and more specifically the use of evidence based programs and practices designed to reduce recidivism. Students are given the opportunity to apply important skills in working with corrections populations. Upon completion of the certificate, students will be well-versed in many principles and practices used in correctional settings that provide rehabilitative services to offenders. These include probation and parole, prisons, jails, community based correctional facilities, halfway houses and group homes, day reporting centers, reentry programs and other correctional settings.
The Certificate in Correctional Rehabilitation is a specialization within the UC School of Criminal Justice that provides a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the risk, need and responsivity model of offender treatment. Students obtaining a certificate in correctional rehabilitation can take a variety of courses focused on important aspects of the juvenile and adult correctional systems. The two required courses will provide students with a foundation and framework for understanding the correctional system as well as a background in evidence-based interventions for these populations.
Students will describe the nature of the rehabilitative ideal and how it shaped American corrections.
Students will analyze the research evidence on competing theories of corrections and individual treatment of offenders.
Students will apply methods for studying and evaluating alternatives to incarceration.
Students will analyze components of effective correctional treatments, policies, and strategies.
Students will apply various approaches to correctional assessment and effective intervention.
Upon completion of the certificate, students will be prepared to work in correctional settings that provide rehabilitative services to offenders. These include probation and parole, prisons, jails, community based correctional facilities, halfway houses and group homes, day reporting centers, reentry programs and other correctional settings. A certificate in correctional rehabilitation equips students with the necessary theoretical, empirical, and practical foundation to work with, manage, and/or study offenders in correctional treatment settings.
Students already enrolled in the Criminal Justice Master of Science program must be in good academic standing according to the School of Criminal Justice and Graduate School Handbooks.
These application materials will be systematically reviewed by the School of Criminal Justice graduate admissions committee to ensure that the student will be able to meet the standards in the certificate courses.

Forti della grande Guerra
Trentino was one of the toughest battlefields on the entire Italian soil.
Even today there are numerous military constructions, trenches and tunnels scattered throughout the territory of the Province.
There are over 80 forts located along the line which, during the Great War, constituted the battle front between the Kingdom of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The war constructions currently constitute, as well as a historical document of exceptional importance, also gods incredibly fascinating routes both for lovers of military tradition and for nature lovers: among deep woods and sudden slopes, the buildings allow not only to savor a fundamental and tragic moment of the Italian tradition, but also to reconcile this with the exploration of beauties natural areas of Trentino.
Every aspect of the Great War is managed by the Italian War History Museum of Rovereto, which constitutes one of the most complete exhibitions on the subject ever and which, with the ample material available and a great variety of specific exhibitions on the subject, allows you to get closer to what the Great War really meant for the Trentino and Italian.
The Museum also manages the Trentino Grande Guerra network, to which 19 other Trentino museums dedicated to the subject collaborate.
Among the main forts of Trentino we can mention, first of all, Forte Belvedere, an important location both for its beauty and for its historical value. Located at 1,177 meters in the upper Astico Valley, the fort was saved from destruction by the fascist regime by King Vittorio Emanuele III himself by virtue of what had been one of the key places of the war. Other particularly suggestive places are the Forte Valmorbia – Pozzacchio, the Forte Nago (near Torbole), Forte Larino and Forte Corno (buildings that dominate the Valle del Chiese, one of the main battlefields of the First World War) and the so-called " Trincerone ". The latter constituted the last defensive bulwark of the Italian army against the Austro-Hungarian attack launched on May 15, 1916; from the Trincerone, the Italian army could spot the city of Trento (one of the fundamental objectives of the tricolor troops), while the Austrian one was not far from the Po valley, gateway to the whole of northern Italy.
The historical importance of the Trincerone is underlined by the numerous possible visit routes which, passing along Monte Zugna, immerse themselves in the history of the Great War.
There are also numerous itineraries dedicated to visiting the Trentino forts and which allow you to combine historical and naturalistic interest.
From Monte Calisio to Forcella Sasso Rotto, from Cime Capi and Rocca to eastern Monte Tonale, passing through the Tour of the Forts of the plateaus of Folgaria, Lavarone and Luserna.
The Italian War History Museum of Rovereto also organizes, in the period between May and September, excursions throughout the province with a historical guide along the main sites of the Great War in the whole of Trentino.


Students and staff in front of the Motusu church they helped to restore.
Students from Brisbane Adventist College (Qld) recently completed the external restoration of the church at Batuna, Solomon Islands. The team of 16 students and seven teachers travelled to the Marovo Lagoon as a Sonship Action Team to paint the exterior of the church building.
The Motusu church sits on top of a peninsula and is the most visible building when approaching Batuna from either side. Dedicated on June 7, 1934 (Adventist Record, August 6, 1934), this church played an important role in the spread of Adventist Christianity throughout Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.
The team running a children's program.
The team also visited several surrounding villages where they ran children's programs featuring action songs, a puppet show and a drama about Moses delivered in Solomon Island Pijin.
The trip was particularly meaningful for Ashlon, whose great-grandparents Frank and Ida Aveling managed the saw mill at Batuna after the close of World War II.
Playing with some local children.
All 23 team members returned to Australia feeling incredibly blessed to be able to experience Solomon Islands culture and to make so many wonderful connections with the people they met. A special connection was formed with Batuna Adventist Vocational School deputy principal and chaplain, John Pikacha, who kindly took one of the teams nightly worships.

News Apple could partner with Hyundai to build its first electric car
Apple could partner with Hyundai to build its first electric car
Nick Lette van Oostvoorne
Technology giant Apple could be planning to partner with South Korean manufacturer Hyundai to build its long-awaited electric car, recent statements suggest. Read on for full details.
Apple car project still in progress
Could be built by Hyundai
Will be an electric car
Autonomous driving modes
Still six years away from launch
Compare the best electric cars on sale
Apple is planning to launch its own electric car, which is expected to be a high-tech alternative to the likes of the Tesla Model 3, S, X and Y. It could feature game-changing autonomous driving features when it arrives in the mid 2020s.
Our exclusive render shows what the Apple car could look like.
Little-to-no information has been released about Apple's in-house car project, but a recent statement issued by Hyundai to the Financial Times confirmed that the South Korean carmaker is in talks with the US technology giant that could lead to Hyundai taking a role in building the upcoming Apple car.
Keen customers may have to wait until after 2025 for the Apple car's launch…
A Hyundai spokesperson said "Apple and Hyundai are in discussions, but as it is at an early stage, nothing has been decided". The discussions in question refer to the development of autonomous electric vehicles. However, Hyundai later went on to amend its statement and said that Apple was talking with a variety of global carmakers and that Hyundai has received 'requests for potential co-operation from various companies'.
Hyundai is preparing its own range of three new electric cars under the Ioniq name.
Whether Apple will partner with Hyundai to build its first car is anyone's guess, but these statements do at least suggest that Apple's first vehicle project is alive and well.
Apple car price and release date
Don't think you'll be able to put your name down for an Apple car this year, though. Developing a new car, especially one featuring advanced battery technology and autonomous driving features, takes a long time. And, as the failed Dyson electric car project shows, it's even more difficult if your company has never built a car before…
The appliance-maker Dyson cancelled it electric-car project (shown here) after years of development.
If Apple stays the course, you could see its first car in showrooms in around five years' time. As with most Apple products, however, it's likely to carry a premium over alternatives, so it'll almost certainly cost more than a comparable electric car from Tesla, Mercedes, BMW or Audi.

Tourette's Du Jour
Church vs. State
What a difference half a century makes
"I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute — where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote, where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the president who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.
"I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish — where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source, where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all."

Phony Soliders?
"I believe that if we had and would keep our dirty, bloody, dollar-soaked fingers out of the business of these nations — so full of depressed, exploited people — they will arrive at a solution of their own. And if, unfortunately, their revolution must be of the violent type, because the "haves" refuse to share with the "have-nots" by any peaceful method, at least what they get will be their own, and not the American-style, which they don't want, and above all don't want crammed down their throats by Americans."

Now, this is more like it
We, Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, fully recognizing we live in a dangerous world but proud of, and deeply committed to, the values that have made the United States an exemplar for the world, affirm the following principles to guide consideration over the debate regarding surveillance of foreign intelligence. We hold that these principles represent the pillars by which America gives no quarter to terrorists who would do our country harm, while at the same time ensuring fidelity to the distinctively American commitment to the rule of law, the dignity of the individual, and separation of powers.
1. It should be the policy of the United States that the objective of any authorized program of foreign intelligence surveillance must be to ensure that American citizens and persons in America are secure in their persons, papers, and effects, but makes terrorists throughout the world feel insecure.
2. The best way to achieve these twin goals is to follow the rule of law. And the exclusive law to follow with respect to authorizing foreign surveillance gathering on U.S. soil is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). As initially enacted by Congress, the exclusivity of FISA was unambiguous. Legislation must reiterate current law that FISA is the exclusive means to authorize foreign surveillance gathering on U.S. soil.
3. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) should be modernized to accommodate new technologies and to make clear that foreign to foreign communications are not subject to the FISA, even though modern technology enables that communication to be routed through the United States.
4. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) is indispensable and must play a meaningful role in ensuring compliance with the law. This oversight should include, where possible, regular judicial approval and review of surveillance, of whose communications will be collected, of how it will be gathered, and of how content and other data in communications to and from the United States will be handled.
5. Congress must have regular access to information about how many U.S. communications are being collected and the authority to require court orders when it becomes clear that a certain program or surveillance of a target is scooping up communications of U.S. persons.
6. Once the government has reason to believe that a specific account, person or facility will have contact with someone in the United States, the government should be required to return to the FISC to obtain a court order for continued surveillance. Reliance on the FISC will help ensure the privacy of U.S. persons' communications.
7. Congress should not grant amnesty to any telecommunications company or to any other entity or individual for helping the NSA spy illegally on innocent Americans. The availability of amnesty will have the unintended consequence of encouraging telecommunications companies to comply with, rather than contest, illegal requests to spy on Americans.
8. Authorization to conduct foreign surveillance gathering on U.S. soil must never be made permanent. The threats to America's security and the liberties of its people will change over time and require constant vigilance by the people's representatives in Congress.
By-the-by, if you 'Google' Congressional Progressive Caucus, you're most likely to get the site of a dirtbag cybersquatter offering advice on coin collecting. Anyone willing to bet that site is owned by a Repugnican?

Today Idaho Senator Larry Craig, of the wide stance Republican Party, announced that he wasn't going to resign his seat after all. For those three folks out there who don't know, Senator Craig, a noted conservative and vehement supporter of traditional marriage, recently was arrested and plead guilt to a misdemeanor charge of soliciting sex in a public men's restroom, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
This should be a joke but it's not, today the Republican Party revealed its logo for its National Presidential Convention, scheduled for Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Who says the GOP doesn't know how to have a good time.
…but maybe this one would have been more honest…

Gambit LoL captain Danil "Diamondprox" Reshetnikov shared his impressions of his first season in LCL and spoke of the upcoming international competition.
- It's been a month since you finished competing in Spring Split and the Summer one starts no sooner than on June, 17. What were you going to do these three months? When are you beginning preparation for Summer Split?
- I planned to use all this time to recharge my batteries after upsetting split results, pull myself together, don't lose shape, and start preparations for the much more important split earlier than usual. We will start preparation a month and a bit in advance, not to dispel extra strength on it and at the same to acquire if not a perfect shape then a good one.
- The latest season was your first in LCL. What are your impressions of this competition?
- My impressions vary a lot. Venue and organization - very positive; judging - sharply negative; the level of the preparation of other teams pleased me, but the format was upsetting, although I was aware we will play bo1 matches, it seems barbaric in 2017.
- How important is to play BO3 in the regular season to improve the competitiveness of our region on the international stage?
- Last year for the first time a wildcard team advanced to the playoffs at Worlds. The majority of leagues switched to BO2 or BO3 and are playing on LAN. Apart from this, now all the regions will be represented at MSI and Worlds. In your opinion, how much time is required for the best teams from Brazil, Turkey, CIS and other wildcard-regions to perform at the same level with the representatives of LCS, LMS and LPL?
- It feels like many of these regions don't have enough talented players to gather a decent line-up and/or they lack infrastructure to develop it. Though as the time passes an interest in the game does not diminish and Riot goes on developing Esports aspect, I think within a couple of years we'll face the moment when wildcard-regions across the world will be dangerous for the best teams of the currently most developed regions.
- Let's move back to LCL. At the end of the last year you faced a difficult and new for you task - assembling a line-up. In one of the interviews you've already confirmed that you made mistakes, particularly when you chose Xavieles instead of Archie2b. Nevertheless, did you manage to gain any useful insight out of this? Did your lack of experience of playing in LCL and unawareness of CIS players influence the situation?
- Making mistakes is one of the best ways to learn anything. There is no doubt I've taken a lot out of this and it doesn't matter how much my let down expectations upset me, I know that the next time I'll do it much better. Being unfamiliar to the scene of course had its effect and it would be much easier to do this if I knew the majority of the players personally.
- What do you make of your own play this season?
-I'd say that this split I showed the lowest level of play out of five last years. And though I didn't have difficulties playing against LCL junglers, the difference with the level of play of good LCS/LCK junglers was tangible. It disappoints me and I'm ashamed in front of the fans.
However, the majority of the problems, which disturbed us from self-development within the team will be solved in the upcoming split and I hope that I'll show the level of play, which will be pleasant to follow and which will lead my team to the desirable results.
- For the first time in two years M19 not only didn't win the league, but also didn't manage to get to the finals. Do you think it comes down to the decrease in their level of play or the increased competitiveness in CIS?
- I'd say that CIS getting better is a reason, but most of all it's because they couldn't fix the problems in the existing roster and decided to make a roster change instead. But it's just a view from the outside.
-At MSI one of the wildcard-regions will receive the second quote for Worlds. Is VP capable of this? Which league do you think will be able to send two teams to the main tournament of the year?
- Three-time World Champions SKT are unconditional favorites at MSI. Who, in your opinion, has the best shot to challenge them and become the main contender for the second place?
-Both LCS teams don't look weak and shaky on stage anymore. I hope they won't get phased by a menacing opponent on a big stage. In this case interesting matches with these three teams are likely to unfold.
NikSar: \"Our goal is to secure a win streak and advance to playoffs\"
Timon: \"three Russian players belong in top 16 of Europe at the very least\"


Sometimes you need a good soak. Forget buying bath salts and soaks--make your own! This Sweet Almond Bath Soak is just the thing. It makes a great gift too. Epsom salt is great for soothing the body, detoxification, and exfoliation of skin. Almond oil is wonderful for softening the skin and adding moisture. If you are allergic to almonds, do not use almond oil. Now excuse me, as I'm off for a lovely soak!
Pour salt into container. I like glass best. In fact, the one I'm using is an old salsa jar! Recycle those jars!
Pour sweet almond oil into the salt and mix.
To use, scoop out a handful or two, and pour into running water.
Sweet Almond Oil can be purchased in health food stores or online. I've seen it for $5 and up. Do not use almond extract.
This should yield a few applications, but the recipe can easily be doubled/adjusted. Sometimes, I'll add less oil and or more salt.
Be sure to mix before using, as the oil will settle to the bottom. It keeps for a couple of weeks.
Oily is naturally slippery, so be careful entering/exiting the bath.
Feel free to substitute Epsom salt for rock salt, and olive oil for almond oil.
As always, I'm not a dr. or qualified to give medical advice, so ask your dr. before using, especially if pregnant.
I had a great soak last night but it might have been even better with this added!
I bet this would smell great!
I'm sure this smells amazing.
I'm not much of a bath-taker, but every once in a while a good soak does sound good. And this sounds like it would make it even more relaxing!
I was gonna ask if I could use almond extract since I already have that in the cabinet but I guess I need to find some oil now. I bet Trader Joes might it. :) Hopefully.
Thanks for your kind comment, the thought of this lovely DIY soak makes me wish for a luxurious bath right how!
Love that you posted this--I always try to make up bath salts when I have the time, you are inspiring me to start up with that again!
mmm sounds like a great soak. and i heart almonds.
God I need a relaxing bath... Its been a hell of a day!
Ooo sounds lovely. I feel like a soak in the bath right now!
A nice long bath this weekend is a great idea. I love the scent of almonds, so I'm giving this one a try.
Can't wait to try this!!!!!

I'm really glad that I quickly learned that the large part of blogging is about making connections and interactions with your fellow bloggers. At first, I thought that I just needed to post some stuff and that's it.
We eventually learn that, no?
Oh, I never read it. I'll surely read it.
Congratulations! And thanks for the nomination, though I wonder what more I can say about my journey into blogging or what advice can I give, but I'll surely try!
Have I finally caught up with you?
Come online on G if possible.
Hi Kritika! You've been on my mind lately as I have not been able to visit as often as I like. I hate missing posts from my favorite bloggers. I definitely can see and appreciate why so many would share this award with you. Your writing brings with it an introspection that is sublime and evocative, spurring one on to explore what you gracefully share. Congratulations, well deserved, I say.
You deserve this award full well.
Thank you so much for the nominee and yes you described blogging beautifully. .
Congrats, Kritika and thanks for accepting my nomination.
Coming too late 😀 (Hehe) but thank you!

EU-Canada Study Tour and Internship Programme 2011 –"Thinking Canada"
"Thinking Canada" 2011 – Strengthening EU-Canada Links
The EU-Canada Study Tour and Internship Programme "Thinking Canada" offers students from European Union Member States a unique in-depth experience of Canada and of EU-Canada relations. This is achieved through an intensive four-week programme that begins in Brussels at the European Institutions and then moves to Canada, with study visits in Ottawa, Québec, Montréal, Toronto, Vancouver and Victoria. Selected students remain in Canada to undertake internships in different institutions
"Thinking Canada" is a project of the European Network for Canadian Studies (ENCS), the umbrella group for all national and regional Canadian Studies associations in Europe. It was undertaken at the request of the European Commission, which also provides the bulk of the financial support. Both the first such initiative, "Thinking Canada 2010", as well as this year's "Thinking Canada 2011" had additional funding from the ENCS, its national/regional associations and the students themselves, and benefitted greatly from the very generous in-kind support of federal, provincial and local authorities as well as non-governmental institutions in Canada, as well as that of the European Union institutions. Furthermore, support this year was also provided by the Canada-Hungary Educational Foundation and several internship hosting institutions.
In response to wide publicity by the Canadian Studies associations and Canadian Embassies in Europe as well as European Commission Representations in the EU member states, 360 students applied for the programme, thirty-two of whom, from twenty-three Member States across the European Union, were selected to take part in the programme. The participants – 7 PhD students, 19 Master's students, and the remainder senior level undergraduates – came from a wide variety of disciplines, ranging from economics, business and management and administration through political science, international relations, security and strategic studies, history, sociology and environmental studies to European Studies, North American and Canadian Studies, and the study of languages.
Building on the success of the study tour "Thinking Canada 2010", the first of its kind, the organizers of the "Thinking Canada 2011" study tour created a highly demanding and attractive programme that provided its participants with the opportunity to receive briefings and exchange views with representatives of the institutions of the European Union as well as prominent figures from a wide range of public and private bodies in Canada. Twelve thematic areas were covered: the EU and EU-Canada relations; social diversity (bilingualism, multiculturalism); Aboriginal issues; Canadian culture and history (including visits to several museums); public policy and constitutional issues; monetary and financial topics; social issues; business, trade, industry and labour relations; fundamental rights and civil society; and the environment.
Briefings in Brussels covered the following main institutions: the European Parliament, European Council, European Commission, European Court of Justice, European Central Bank and the Canadian Mission to the European Union. In Canada the students were briefed byrepresentatives of a wide variety of institutions at all three levels of government (federal, provincial and municipal), major non-governmental organizations and agencies (among them the Bank of Canada), leading economic players such as HydroQuébec, labour representatives (Canadian Labour Congress), cultural institutions (Canadian Conference of the Arts), think tanks (the IRPP in Montréal, the Asia Pacific Foundation and Pembina Institute in Vancouver) and NGOs, as well as the European Commission Delegation to Canada and the EU Presidency (Poland), represented in Canada by the Polish Ambassador.
In the course of the study tour proper in Canada, the students visited around fifty institutions, with over eighty presentations followed by lively and at times provocative discussions. Altogether these amounted to 120 full hours of seminars and learning opportunities.
Following the study tour, nine participants remained in Canada to undertake two-month internships. These were offered by think tanks, NGOs, public bodies and EU-related institutions in Ottawa, Montréal, Toronto and Vancouver. The generous support of the Canada-Hungary Educational Foundation, the Polish Consulate General in Toronto and PORTAGE (Lac Echo, Québec) for three of the internships made it possible to increase the number of internships initially planned.
The EU-Canada tour was organized as a counterpart to the already existing European Union Study Tour and Internship Program, now in its ninth year, which offers an annual programme in the form of a study visit to the European Union for Canadian students. The programme in Europe served as a model in the planning of the European students' programme in Canada. In fact the main organizers of this programme – the Network for European Studies (Canada), involving over a dozen universities across Canada – played a central role in the EU-Canada tour as well. Both study tours, conceived as complementary, received joint official endorsement from the European Union and Canadian authorities.

Society Islands, French Polynesia
Tuamotu, French Polynesia
Gambier Islands, French Polynesia
Austral Islands, French Polynesia
Kingdom of Tonga
In April of 2013, the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation conducted a research mission to the Austral Islands in French Polynesia as part of the Global Reef Expedition. The Austral Islands are the southernmost group of islands in French Polynesia, and are comprised of two different archipelagos: the Tubuai Islands and the Bass Islands. Our research focused on the Tupua'i Islands, and we surveyed the islands of Maria Oeste, Raivavae, Rimatara, Rurutu, and Tubuai.
We conducted coral reef research and assessments of the coral communities, and found that the reefs at Raivavae and Tubuai were unusual compared to the other reefs of French Polynesia. Unlike the other fore reef communities, these islands were surrounded by a very wide shelf that extended from the reef crest to hundreds of meters offshore, before plunging steeply to the depths. In addition to an unusual reef structure, we also found an unusual massive coral that we had not seen before and another unique coral which forms potato-chip shaped colonies.
The reefs of Rurutu were a different story altogether. Decimated by a bad outbreak of crown of thorns starfish in 2006 to 2007, the reefs were nearly devoid of living coral. Very little tissue was remaining on the coral colonies, and there were few baby corals present, meaning recovery of these reefs could take decades. The situation on the island of Rimatara was similar, with virtually no living corals due to a recent outbreak of crown of thorns starfish. The outlook, however, is better–tissue remnants from the coral colonies suggest the reefs may recover more quickly here. Because both islands are so small and were so severely devastated, new corals will have to come from an outside source. The closest island, Tubuai, has a very healthy coral population, which could provide new corals to recolonize the ruined reefs–but it may take some time.
We also participated in the BIOCODE project, which aims to create the first comprehensive inventory of all non-microbial life in French Polynesia. A library of genetic markers and physical identifiers for every species of plant, animal, and fungi are being constructed, and the species databases will be publicly available as a resource for scientists around the world. Barcoding has already taken place at Moorea, Gambier, and Marquesas, and thanks to our involvement, now the Austral Islands as well.
Our research in the Austral islands resulted in surveying more than 300 species and the collection of specimens from 14 new species that will be described in the coming years. We also recorded new occurrences for many species previously unreported from the Austral Islands. The samples will be analyzed genetically and our findings will be made available internationally on the FISHBOL database. With over 5,000 vouchered fish samples completed, our findings are helping to supply one of the most extensive marine species databases of fishes worldwide for a region as large as French Polynesia.
