Spacial Audio first opened its doors in 1999 with the introduction of SAM Broadcaster radio automation software, after recognizing that the internet was opening up new opportunities for radio. The following year, Spacial Audio introduced AudioRealm, a portal that lists thousands of radio stations from all over the globe, with the intention of making it easy for radio listeners to find and listen to their favorite radio stations.
As time progressed, Spacial Audio recognized the needs of broadcasters and worked towards providing end-to-end solutions for the radio hobbyist industry. During the mid 2000's, Spacial added SAM DJ to its product offering – a full-featured, professional DJ system designed to meet the needs of house DJs, in addition to SAM Cast, a live audio encoder. In 2006, Spacial introduced SpacialNet, a stream hosting division of Spacial Audio. The stream hosting services were designed to complement Spacial's advanced online radio software, SAM Broadcaster and SAM Cast.
In 2009, Spacial was acquired by Triton Digital®, the global technology and services leader to the digital audio and podcast industry. Triton's acquisition of Spacial Audio provided Spacial with access to cutting-edge streaming technology and expert knowledge of the radio industry, in addition to creating synergies that have propelled the continuous growth of Spacial Audio.
Fast forward to 2012, Spacial introduced SAM VIBE, a powerful Internet radio broadcasting application that was created to simplify radio broadcasting through a simplified and fully-accessible interface that allows broadcasters to create their own commercial-quality radio stations right from their PCs.
In the same year, Spacial released the SAM Broadcaster Studio and SAM Cast Studio software, intended for broadcasters who want to transmit to their local communities or further afield with a traditional AM or FM station. The studio software is used in conjunction with radio broadcast licensing and hardware requirements that are governed by an array of broadcasting laws, regulations, and requirements which vary from location to location.
In 2015, Spacial rebranded SAM VIBE to SAM Broadcaster Cloud, a hybrid between SAM Live DJ and the cloud services. Named to reflect the accessible, cloud-based service offered to broadcasters, SAM Broadcaster Cloud enables station owners to manage their stations in the cloud, and stream their stations live from anywhere in the world at any time.
SAM Broadcaster Cloud is available via four packages: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Enterprise. It can also be customized for broadcasters unique requirements. The most recently introduced Enterprise package is for larger radio broadcasters who are interested in monetizing their station streams. SAM Cloud continues to solidify its place in the industry as one of the leading cloud-based radio automation solutions with its growing suite of features and capabilities. Over the years, SAM Cloud has managed to introduce a number of innovative features such as free customizable hosted player pages, website widgets, user interface theme updates, feature requests, DJ management ability, social media integrations, voice tracking, and most recently, a mobile application.
Spacial has also tailored its products to meet specific market needs through offering customized packages including Background Music for in-store music providers, Radio Software for Schools, a Non-Profit Package designed to help non-profit organizations increase their reach, and an in-world music solution for Second Life.

RockCrawler.com PATRICK CLARK RACING ESTABLISHED THEIR PLACE AMONG THE PROS IN 2015 WITH ONE FINAL WIN IN...
The season for the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series wrapped up at the Lake Elsinore, high flying course. Champions were crowned, however those that weren't going for a championship, were out there racing for one last chance at a win. That is just what Patrick Clark did in his #25 Budweiser/BFGoodrich Tires PRO 2.
Clark went out with the pedal to the metal during qualifying and after 6 fast laps he would pull off the course with the 4th fastest time. Giving him the perfect starting position for pushing on the rear bumper of the pole starters.
Minor changes to the truck to get it dialed for the race took place shortly after qualifying and then the team awaited their turn to get out and fight for another opportunity to take another win.
Clark started his season off strong with a win in round 4 and additional podiums throughout the year.
"We have been getting stronger and stronger as the year went on." Stated Clark. "It feels good to know that we can run with the guys like Rob MacCachren and Bryce Menzies."
The #25 PRO 2 pulled onto the course and once the field came around for one final start of the season, Clark was on the gas on the front stretch and going in to turn one at full speed. Keeping his patience throughout the first half of the race and keeping a solid position up front was key for Clark.
Deegan and Menzies both ended up breaking while in first and second which would eventually move Clark up to second place and chasing down Woods. He would still have legend, Carl Renezeder holding down the third position.
It wasn't long after a full course caution that the trucks were all back to racing and Clark followed behind woods waiting for a mistake and an opportunity to overcome for the lead. But it would be Woods pulling off into the hot pit that handed the patient Clark the lead.
The laps were winding down quickly and Rob MacCachren was making passes and quickly making his way up to Clark. But as the race nearing an end, Clark was able to keep his distance in front of MacCachren and crossed the last checkered flag of the season as a winner of the final PRO 2 race of the season.
Clark celebrated this win with family, crew and friends and the Las Vegas local proved that he isn't just here to race, he is here to win.
Not long after Clark's win he took his PRO 2 to SEMA, one of the largest automotive conventions in the U.S.. The Las Vegas Convention Center would see thousands upon thousands of people flock into the 4 day long convention. Patrick Clark would be there to greet them right out front with demonstrations of the 900 HP PRO 2 with his BFGoodrich Tires smoking out the crowd.
Patrick Clark rounded out his year by getting nominated by the Off Road Motorsports Hall of Fame as a "Rising Star" in the Short Course category. Clark may have fell short at winning the award, but he now knows he is on everyone's radar and is a top contender for the 2016 season.

It is with pride and pleasure that the committee wish to let everyone know that SUNDAY OCTOBER 1st. is the date for the official opening of Mise Éire – Oulart's unique new monument to 1916 and War of Independence.
Master of Ceremonies on the day will be our own Chairman -John Dempsey, The Hill. The opening ceremony will be performed by the Chairman of Wexford County Council, Mr. John Hegarty who will address all present and then call on Mick and Lar de Lacy to pull the two ribbons to unveil the memorial.

Korean Dream
A Call to Service: Remembering 9-11
by Editor | Sep 11, 2018 | Living for the Greater Good (Service), Moral and Innovative Leadership
Years have passed since the twin towers of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan were brought down by hijacked planes. The event brought to the fore the real challenge of the 21st century—not a clash of nation-states, but the threat of religious, identity-based conflict.
The 9-11 Memorial in New York City commemorates those who lost their lives September 11, 2001
At the time, Dr. Hyun Jin Preston Moon responded with a call for service to heal the division, pain and misunderstanding that entrenched the deepening divisions between religious and identity differences.
Time may be passing, and the generation who witnessed the events surrounding 9-11 as youth have grown into adulthood, but what was seen that day will never be forgotten. Many have responded to the need for a new paradigm of leadership that acknowledges the importance of universal principles and shared values while harnessing the innovations available to them to address the unique challenges of their day. Dr. Hyun Jin Moon has called this paradigm "moral and innovative leadership."
Dr. Moon's own children have taken up the call of service—both as leaders and participants of overseas volunteer projects and as U.S. service members.
Shinwon Moon delivered an address at the Global Youth Summit at the United Nations in 2018 where he spoke about his experiences in service, and how they have informed his conviction in the guiding vision of "One Family under God."
He was in high school on September 11, 2001. Some of his friends lost close family members in the attack. It was also during high school that he had the opportunity to lead overseas projects in Mongolia, Thailand, Japan, Philippines and South Korea. "These early formative experiences proved to be crucial for what came next," he said.
Eventually he enrolled in the U.S. Military Academy, and after graduation, he served in Afghanistan. During his posting in Kandahar, known as the "birthplace of the Taliban," he grew to know the local people, their needs and challenges. This would motivate him to initiated an effort to open a coeducational school for local children in Afghanistan. As he served his home nation, he also found ways to serve his global family.
He reflected on this experience: "I have internalized a core conviction that all people, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or socio-economic background are all members of one human family."
In preparing for a brighter future for all people, we clearly need to educate this kind of moral and innovative mindset in our young people.
Volunteers create care packages for those in need in New York City on the anniversary of the tragic 9-11 events
How is it that service and travel might have this kind of effect?
In the words of the American novelist, Mark Twain, "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
By meeting, living among, serving and working with local people, our minds and worlds open up to new possibilities and challenge us to view "others" differently. Traveling as tourists has its place but the chief design behind global service leadership programs that Dr. Moon has initiated.
These programs give people the experiences and opportunities to see others as worthy of respect, love and care. Even while a ten-day program like the International Young Leaders Assembly will begin and end the same as any other ten days, those days have the potential to impact the way a person might live and work over the course of his or her entire life.
If we want to become One Family Under God, the experiences of going out to meet and serve those other members of our shared human family is an essential part of that journey.

In most cases, when you apply for a credit card, you're applying for an unsecured credit card. An unsecured credit card has a predetermined credit limit that you don't have to secure with an asset or deposit, and your credit limit is determined by how credit-worthy your lender judges you to be.
But what happens if your lender deems you too risky for an unsecured credit card? Rejection can happen if you have a bad credit rating or no credit rating at all. It's more common than it sounds, especially for newcomers to Canada, students, or Canadians dealing with divorce, bankruptcy, or a consumer proposal.
You may be a candidate for a secured credit card if your credit rating is low. Your credit rating is a number between 300 and 900. Most financial institutions require you to have a credit score of at least 600 to qualify for an unsecured credit card. Otherwise, a secured credit card is a good way to build up or establish your credit rating and get into your lender's good graces.
Secured credit cards require a deposit to secure your loan. You pay a deposit to your lender, usually one or two times the amount of your credit limit, and the lender holds this deposit and extends you a credit card in return. While you're using the credit card, your lender will keep the deposit, but they'll pay you interest, and some lenders will even place your deposit in a GIC for you.
As we mentioned above, secured credit cards are perfect for Canadians who haven't yet established a credit history, such as newcomers to Canada and students. It can also be a good choice if you have a credit rating that's below 600. You can still apply for a secured credit card if you've been discharged from bankruptcy.
When you apply for a secured credit card, you'll have to pay a setup fee, usually a percentage of your credit limit. For example, if you apply for a secured credit card with a credit limit of $2,000 and the setup fee is 3%, you'll have to pay $60. You'll also need enough cash on hand to pay the deposit, which is usually one to two times the amount of the credit limit. In the example above, you'd need $2,000 to $4,000 on hand to give to your lender after approval, for a total of up to $4,060.
Unlike unsecured credit cards (from which there are dozens to choose), the secured credit card market is limited. Many financial institutions offer secured cards, including Capital One Canada, Peoples Trust, and Home Trust.
Once you've been approved for your secured credit card and paid your deposit and setup fee, you can start using your secured credit card to build or rebuild your credit rating. You can use a secured credit card exactly as you would an unsecured credit card. Some secured credit cards have higher interest rates than unsecured credit cards so you should pay off your balance in full at the end of every month.
A secured credit card is a stepping stone for Canadians with no credit rating or a bad credit rating. If you've been approved for a secured credit card, now is your chance to prove to your lender that you're capable of using credit responsibly. You should pay off your credit card every month, if possible, and if you can't, you should keep the balance to less than 35% of your credit limit.
If you do this, eventually you'll qualify for an unsecured credit card. You'll get your deposit back (plus interest), and you'll enjoy the benefits of an unsecured credit card, including signup bonuses and rewards points. It usually takes between 12 and 18 months to qualify for an unsecured credit card. How soon you qualify will depend on your credit rating, your repayment history and how comfortable your lender is with your personal finances.

French Open Loss Proves Again that Federer Is not the Best Ever
By klownboy on June 6, 2011 • ( 13 )
It's 2011, another French Open final. And yet again Rafael Nadal spanked Roger Federer to take home the title.
As the saying goes, "brand new day, same 'ol (spit)".
Sure it gave Nadal a record-tying sixth French Open title. Sure it was Nadal's 10th Grand Slam singles tournament title, leaving him only six behind Federer for most all time. Hell, Nadal may one day have the most Grand Slam singles title.
The real story is Federer cannot beat his chief tormentor – again. In fact, he is now 8-17 against Nadal.
Once again, this proves that Federer is NOT the best male tennis player ever.
The best tennis player of all time does not get owned by a rival. Pete Sampras, who I consider the greatest male tennis player of all time, was never dominated by a rival. In fact, Sampras dominated his biggest rival (Andre Aggasi) in head-to-head match-ups (20-14).
Martina Navratilova was not dominated by another contemporary in her prime. In fact, she has a winning record against Chris Evert (43-37), and is even with Steffi Graf (9-9).
Speaking of Graf, no one has a winning record against her.
Look, I am not out to poo-poo on Federer's achievements. The dude did win 16 Grand Slam singles titles. I'm just saying he is not as great as people make him out to be.
‹ Time to Put the Greatest NBA Player Debate to Rest…
Tennis Poll ›
Categories: sports story, tennis
Jack Yothers
If the world ended today, Roger Federer is the greatest tennis player ever. He has not only won 16 slams (and counting), but he's been to 23 slam finals (4 more than the nearest competitor, Lendl) and is the only man in history to have been in the final of each slam at least 5 times. This is in addition to his streak of slam semifinals (23 straight, 13 more than the nearest competitor) and quarterfinals (28 and counting). Basically, there hasn't been a grand slam tournament in the past 8 years that Roger hasn't been in contention to win, and he isn't done yet.
There is no doubt that Rafael Nadal is Federer's only real rival, and the only man that can possibly supplant him as the GOAT (greatest of all time) in the modern era. However, their head-to-head record is skewed by the predominant surface that they've faced each other on. 14 of their matches have been contested on clay, where Rafael is 12-2. On other surfaces, Roger has a winning 6-5 record. The reason that Roger and Rafael have met on clay so much is because Roger makes it to the semi-finals or finals of those clay tournaments and runs into Rafael. On other surfaces, Nadal doesn't always make it that deep into the tournament (so Roger ends up beating someone else for the title).
Nadal is an impressive athlete. I've seen him play up close in person a couple times, and he's a chiseled machine. I think he has the kind of physical ability and competitive attitude that would have made him great at almost any sport he tried. At only 25 years old, he has five more years to catch up with where Roger sits right now. I do believe that Federer will win at least two more slam titles before he retires, but Nadal seems to have a chance of catching him. On the other hand, Nadal has not enjoyed the health and consistancy that Federer has, and he is now being tested by Djokovic (who is just coming into his prime at age 24 and is a year younger than Nadal). I also believe that players like Del Potro, Monfils, Berdych, Gasquet, Tsonga, Baghdatis, and Dolgopolov (who are all 25 years or younger) are beginning to hit their peaks, are capable of beating Nadal on surfaces other than clay, and will likely stop him in slams over the upcoming years. Bottom line, this story isn't over yet, and we won't know who is the greatest until about 10 years from now, when Roger and Rafael are both done.
As for Sampras… please… the guy only made one French semi-final in his entire career, and he lost to Federer at Wimbledon the only time they played head-to-head. He's one of the top five of all time, but has been well passed by Federer at this point. By the way, if we're just looking at head-to-head records, Sampras was 1-3 against Paul Haarhuis, 2-3 against Sergi Bruguera, 4-5 against both Lleyton Hewitt and Michael Stich, 3-4 against Marat Safin, and 4-6 against Richard Krajicek. Are all of those guys greater than Sampras? Of course not! That's why head-to-head record against one particular rival is not as important as the titles won.
This is the best pro-Federer argument I have read. Of course it had to come from a tennis guy such as yourself :).
I just can't call a dude who has been dominated by another dude the greatest. Sure they played most of their matches on clay courts (Nadal's faves).
However, I will point out that Nadal is coming into his own on other surfaces. He won Wimbledon twice and is a strong favorite to win it this year. He also claim the Australian and US Open singles titles the last couple of years. Last I checked, Federer has been more of a beast on hard courts and grass than almost every player on tour.
Again, you made valid (and sensible) points about Federer. I just can't call someone the greatest when said player calls someone else his daddy…
@Jack – you make some good points, but I have to agree with Klownchild on this one. I consider Federer to be the Larry Holmes of Tennis. A great talent, no doubt. But his prime was at a time when the competition was very thin. (Roddick? Blake?) Before Nadal came on the scene, he was collecting slam titles quarterly like they were bank statements.
I would definitely put Federer in my top 10, maybe top 5. In his prime, no one had a more lethal or consistent forehand. But you can't just count up the titles to determine who's the greatest. It's a bit more complicated than that.
@JAG. You said: "But his prime was at a time when the competition was very thin. (Roddick? Blake?) Before Nadal came on the scene, he was collecting slam titles quarterly like they were bank statements." To counterpoint, I think you are compressing history and forgetting some big names.
I've heard the "he had no competition in his peak" argument before, and it doesn't hold up. Federer won his first slam at the 2003 Wimbledon, and didn't finish #1 that year. It was 2004 that he began his domination. His main obstacles at the time were Agassi, Safin, Kuerten, Hewitt, Roddick, Moya, and Ferrero (all of whom had won slams and were formerly ranked #1, and are either in the Hall of Fame or have a good case for inductment). You could also throw guys like Nalbandian (who should have won the 2003 US Open) and Coria (who's career was shortened by injury and could have pushed Nadal on clay if he stayed healthy) in there during 2004 and early 2005. Those guys weren't slouches.
As for the gap when Roger was "collecting slam titles quarterly" before Nadal arrived, it only lasted for a year. Nadal came on the scene in late 2004, helping Spain win the Davis Cup that year. That was Federer's first year finishing at #1. Nadal then won the French Open in the spring of 2005, just 6 months later, and he was the #2 player behind Federer for most of the time while Roger won the last 12 of his 16 slam titles (so far). In fact, Federer's best years were 2006 and 2007 when he made the finals of all 8 slams those two years, winning 6 of them. He faced Nadal in the finals of 4 of those slams, and it was only Nadal that kept Federer from winning the true annual Grand Slam (all four events in the same year) twice. Almost all of the records that Federer has set in his career have come with Nadal nipping at his heels, not to mention up-and-comer rivals like Djokovic, Murray, Del Potro, etc.
June 6, 2011 • 10:24 pm
@Jack – Good points. He faced some quality competition in Moya, Ferrero et al but it's not quite the golden age, now, is it? I still believe that if he had played in the Borg, Mac, Connors, Lendl or the Agassi, Sampras, Courier, Becker eras, he would not have 16 slams. He would have his share, no doubt, but those heavyweights would have garnered more than Nalbandain and Coria.
Of course, neither of us can prove this, but it's an interesting debate.
July 9, 2012 • 6:02 am
This is a really stupid article. Sampras only reached the *semifinal* of a French Open once. If Federer lost in the first round of FO every time, he would not have a losing record against Nadal; the only reason he does is because he consistently gets deep in clay court tournaments but Nadal is the greatest clay player of all time. Nadal has a massive lead in clay court tournaments but Federer leads the head to head in grass and hard court. He only has the chance to get beaten by Nadal on clay because unlike Sampras, Federer is a good clay court player though obviously nothing on Nadal. Also, I believe Federer would have a leading h2h against Sampras even if they were both in their primes at the same time. Finally, Leander Paes leads Sampras in the head to head. Is he a better singles player than sampras?
Look at the era in which Federer dominated in his prime. You're telling me that the likes of Andy Roddick was more challenging than facing Andre Agassi, Michael Chang, Patrick Rafter, Boris Becker and Jim Courier during their primes? Quick, name me another challenger besides Roddick during Fed's prime. I didn't think so…
FedNotGreatest
To really be the GOAT you have to beat the best consistently, and be mentally tougher than them consistently. Federer didn't do either against Nadal. We can't just sit there and ignore this fact in our quest for who is GOAT. No doubt, 17 Grand Slams is incredible. But it's still not about the sheer numbers – they don't tell the whole story. There are very few long-time number 1s I can remember, if any, that had this much of a losing record against their rival. Not only that, it's not like Federer never played Nadal close. He sure did. But he blew leads numerous times against him. Either he was up a break, had set point, or even match point.
You may see "aww gee, cut this guy some slack, etc. etc. etc" But we already do – Federer's record against Nadal does not in any way prevent him from being superior to Nadal. Federer is absolutely the superior player to Nadal – he has more Slams, a LOT more weeks at number 1, made it to a LOT more major finals and semis. But is his record against Nadal enough to push him over the edge and make him GOAT? Sorry, that's a bit of a stretch for me too.
Furthermore, if you do ignore Fed's record against Nadal, you're not being fair to Nadal. Nadal is the greatest claycourt player of all time, bar none. To blanket Federer as the overall Greatest of All Time overshadows Nadal's achievements. Both of them, in their own way, are among the very best of all time.
Ayaskant
Just judge a player on being dominated by his main rival shows the immaturity of the judge itself. The judge who is the writer here should have seen the overall performance of Roger and just his loses to Rafa. No doubt Rafa is one of the greatest to play the game , but he is a phyical machine who is playing the game. That's the reason why he has taken two long breaks in his tennis career for injuries. In the other hand Roger is a naturally gifted player. He does not have that mush of muscular power as Nadal's but he is such a gifted player that he hits his both backhand and forehand shots with high precision and quality that it becomes an elegance to watch. He does not use both of his hands to hit the ball unlike Djoko & Rafa do. But still he has won 17 grand slams that too in such a competitive era. He started winning after 2003 when the big hitters of Tennis such as Rafter, Roddick, Nadal, Del Potro & Djokovic arrived into the Tennis era. The phenomenal drop shot which was actually started by Roger now being adopted by other players like Tsonga & Djokovic. Roiger is Greatest of all time. 5 consecutive US Open & 5 Consecutive Wimbledon tells the story for Roger.
Was the "Roiger" name a slip ;)? Good argument though…

Pinkerton Launches Ground-Breaking Report that Assesses and Illustrates Corporate Risk Across the Globe
Reports show where risk exists, in what forms and to what degree
Pinkerton, a global provider of corporate risk management services, has launched the Pinkerton Risk Index Report, a revolutionary new tool to help business leaders worldwide identify where, how and to what degree risk exists in every country around the world and every state in the U.S. Pinkerton President Jack Zahran made the announcement.
The Pinkerton Risk Index Report takes into account 83 different underlying variables that correlate to critical business risk areas, such as natural disasters, infectious disease, terrorism, economic structure, societal upheaval, and information and technology, and determines how prevalent each risk is in a certain country. Through the use of big data analysis and econometric methods, Pinkerton is able to assign every country with a Risk Index Score. Business leaders can leverage these scores to compare the risk levels of different countries to make better-informed decisions when it comes to relocations, expansions, investment and business travel.
The need: "The world is more connected than it has ever been," said Zahran. "We are living in a true global economy where risk and performance is interdependent. We developed the Pinkerton Risk Index to help our existing and future clients better understand the risks that exist in both the places that they are currently operating as well as those areas that they are considering for expansion. Risk management is no longer an insurance policy, its day-to-day reality."
To help illustrate the power of the global Pinkerton Risk Index Report, the following tables show the top 10 countries in the world in terms of least and most overall risk. More than 160 countries are represented in the full Pinkerton Risk Index Report:
Least Overall Risk:
Overall Index Score
1 Singapore 0.0000
2 Switzerland 0.01112
3 Finland 0.0220
4 Denmark 0.0369
5 Netherlands 0.0406
6 United Kingdom 0.0438
7 United States 0.0483
8 Canada 0.0508
9 Japan 0.0514
10 New Zealand 0.0543
Most Overall Risk:
1 Chad 1.0000

Reading the Report: The Pinkerton Risk Index Report was created through years of collaborative work by scholars and security professionals and is backed by data from 17 national and international organizations. Big data analysis allows Pinkerton to evaluate risk in the context of importance, insurability and information reliability to create an "index score" for each country. For comparison's sake, the country with the best index score was given a baseline score of 0.000, while the country with the worst rank was given a score of 1.0000. A score of 0.0000 doesn't necessarily mean that no risk exists in that country, instead it means that the country has the least amount of risk relative to the countries included in any given dataset. Countries with low amounts of overall risk typically share common characteristics like sophisticated economies, strong institutions, quality supply chains, low prevalence of organized crime, commitment to property rights, and freedom from corruption.
The Pinkerton Risk Index Report builds on a concept created by Pinkerton called the Risk Wheel, which breaks down risks that threaten business organizations into four primary categories: Hazard & Event Risk, Operational & Physical Risk, Technology & Informational Risk, and Market & Economic Risk. The Risk Wheel primarily illustrated that organizations need to take a holistic approach to risk management that accounts for risks in all four categories. The four quadrants of risks are connected and if business leaders focus their efforts on only one category, they leave themselves exposed to risks from other categories. The Pinkerton Risk Index Report proves this hypothesis and can be viewed through the lens of any one category in the Risk Wheel, through multiple categories, or through all categories combined as overall risk.
Taking a deeper dive: For more in depth information about the Pinkerton Risk Index Report, how it was created and the mathematical formulas used to build out the rankings, please see the full Pinkerton Risk Index Report here.
Pinkerton has also created an interactive dashboard that literally illustrates the results of the Pinkerton Risk Index Report. The dashboard features a global map that is color-coded to show overall risk levels in every country around the world, with blue indicating lower levels of overall risk and red indicating high levels of overall risk. Users can also drilldown into individual countries to see how they perform in 11 key areas of risk assessment, including natural disasters, business operations risk, economic structure risk, societal upheaval risk, and information technology risk.

Platelets are circulating quiescent cells which play an important role in haemostasia; following blood vessel injury, platelets adhere to the damaged vessel, aggregate and form a haemostatic plug which diminishes or arrests the haemorrhage. In addition the platelet has been shown to have an important part in the pathogenesis of thromboembolic disorders. Upon activation platelets release arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids, conversion of which results in the production of prostaglandins and thromboxanes. The prostaglandin endoperoxides and thromboxane A2 are potent platelet aggregating agents and mediators of the platelet release reaction. This thesis is primarily concerned with platelet function and several aspects have been studied.
(i) An investigation into the modes of action of arachidonic acid in rat platelets was carried out, since controversy exists as to the precise mediators of aggregation in this species. Over a range of arachidonic acid concentrations three types of response were evoked in washed rat platelet suspensions; a thromboxane-dependent irreversible aggregation at low concentrations; a suppression of aggregation associated with subsequent inhibition of other aggregating agents at intermediate concentrations; and an apparent irreversible aggregation associated with platelet lysis at high concentrations. The mechanisms underlying each of these responses were investigated.
(ii) A second aspect concerned the pharmacological characterization of the thromboxane-sensitive systems mediating aggregation of human, rat and rabbit platelets. The relative potencies of a range of thromboxane agonists were similar in the 3 species, yet when antagonists were studied the rabbit platelet thromboxane-receptor was consistently less sensitive to their blocking action.
(iii) The final section is concerned with platelet disfunction in two pathological conditions, diabetes and hypothyroidism. In the former condition an increase in platelet activity has been shown to be intimately related to enhanced thromboxane A2 activity. This may simply reflect an increase in thromboxane A2 production from endogenous arachidonic acid, although improved receptor coupling or an increase in the number of receptors may contribute.
In one study, platelet sensitivity to collagen and the stable thromboxane mimetic, 11,9epoxymethano PGH₂ was compared between control subjects and diabetics. An increased sensitivity to the thromboxane mimetic was observed in the group of diabetics with proliferative retinopathy and in contrast to the findings in the literature there was no apparent difference in sensitivity to collagen. In another study platelet sensitivity to the aggregating agents ADP and 11,9epoxymethano PGH₂ was measured in a group of poorly controlled diabetics who underwent short-term improvement of glycaemic control. At the end of the six month period, there was no detectable change in their sensitivity to aggregating agents ADP and 11,9emPGH₂ yet a marked increase in responsiveness to the inhibitory prostaglandin, Iloprost was observed.
Hypothyroidism like diabetes is associated with microvascular complications. A study was carried out on a group of hypothyroid patients, whose platelet sensitivity was measured at the beginning and the end of a six month period of hormone replacement. Platelet sensitivity was increased to a slight extent following hormone replacement therapy but a marked fall in cyclic AMP levels from plasma was found. This could suggest that improvement of the hormone deficiency may not necessarily be in favour of improving microvascular disorders.


LENOIR, NC (September 12, 2018) — Sheriff Alan C. Jones has announced on September 11, 2018, two individuals suspected of trafficking methamphetamine have been arrested and put in jail. At approximately 10 am, SWAT and Narcotics Agents executed a search warrant at a residence located at 214 Hillside Street in Lenoir. Michael Wayne Walker, age 37, and Adam Curtis Clark, age 30, were subsequently taken into custody without incident. The Sheriff's Office Ice Unit and Lenoir Police Narcotics conducted the investigation that lead to the search warrant. The search warrant was issued after undercover purchases of methamphetamine were made from the residence along with other pertinent information.
Agents searched the home and located approximately 210 grams of methamphetamine packaged for sale, $7,649 in cash, drug ledgers, a small amount of marijuana, and other items of drug paraphernalia. Agents suspect the two were working together and are responsible for distributing pounds of methamphetamine throughout Caldwell County. Agents report the drugs seized has a street value of $31,500 according to North Carolina Guidelines. The investigation is continuing.
Walker was incarcerated in the Caldwell County Detention Center under a $100,000 secured bond on the drug charges. He has a first appearance in District Court in Lenoir on September 13, 2018.
Clark was incarcerated in the Caldwell County Detention Center under a $30,000 secured bond on the drug charges. He has a first appearance in District Court in Lenoir on September 13, 2018.

City Shifts: Weekly News Roundup
Micah Golomb-Leavitt
City Shifts is a recurring Blueprint series that rounds up the latest and greatest content from writers and publishers across the web. From repurposing vacant office space to improving air circulation in buildings, these articles are sure to help you up your virtual water cooler conversation game.
1. Midtown Is Reeling. Should Its Offices Become Apartments? (The New York Times)
Photographer: Zastolskiy Victor | Source: Shutterstock
The landlord-tenant relationship has grown tense in Midtown, Manhattan, as reported by Matthew Haag and Dana Rubinstein of The New York Times—14 percent of office space is currently vacant due to the pandemic, and New York City's commercial real estate industry wants to turn that property (over 1 million square feet) into housing.
The pandemic has emptied office towers and storefronts in Manhattan and around the world. While commercial tenants and their landlords are at loggerheads over who must shoulder the financial burden of maintaining currently unworkable space, perhaps the more fundamental question is how to make underused space useable—and useful—again. What do cities, citizens, and businesses need most now, and what will serve our communities best moving forward? Can a city like New York benefit more from storefronts and office workspaces or additional housing? And how can we build the necessary flexibility into our municipal policies to permit innovation and make cities more resilient and responsive to crises?
2. The 15-Minute City Aims to Build More Liveable Neighbourhoods (The Globe and Mail)
Photographer: Elton Luz | Source: Unsplash
The Globe and Mail's Alex Bozikovic, Joe Castaldo, and Danielle Webb report on how the majority of Canadian cities and the communities therein do not measure up to the ideals of the amenity-rich, walkable 15-minute neighborhood. But, the health, socio-economic, and community benefits that this urban planning blueprint brings have Canadian city planners brainstorming how to best rework neighborhoods to be denser and more convenient for residents.
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo has popularized the concept of the amenity-rich and walkable 15-minute neighborhood with a very high-profile push to make Paris a 15-minute city. Several municipalities around the world have now expressed interest in creating more workable, walkable, people-first neighborhoods that better fulfill residents' everyday needs.
For cities built to serve vehicle traffic first, like many in North America, the transition to 15-minute neighborhoods is a massive undertaking, requiring careful consideration and participation from myriad stakeholders, including city officials, community members, and local businesses. But the conversation of what we want our neighborhoods to look like—what we want them to be—is a necessary first step in creating meaningful and lasting improvements to the livability of our urban, suburban, and rural communities.
3. As Remote Work Becomes the Norm, Codi Raises $7M to Expand to NYC (Boston Real Estate Times)
Photographer: Jonathan Kemper | Source: Unsplash
Codi—a San Francisco–based company that offers daytime coworking spaces in private homes—has expanded to New York City, according to the Boston Real Estate Times. Capitalizing on the massive shift to remote work by NYC's office workers, Codi's hybrid work-from-home model provides employees with safe spaces to work in their neighborhoods, minimizing commutes while providing an opportunity for in-person collaboration.
A proportion of office workers will undoubtedly return to downtown towers once the threat of the pandemic has receded, but many employees will continue to work remotely and demand the flexibility to do so from their employers. With the future of work in flux, now is the time to rethink traditional live-work models.
Working remotely, rather than commuting to a central business district, helps take cars off the roads and reduces emissions, but some argue that the isolation of remote work can stifle the creativity that arises from a spontaneous meeting of minds in a collaborative office environment. The challenge, then, is how to marry the benefits of working in an office with the benefits of working from home while trimming away the downsides. The Codi model offers one possible answer that moves us closer to the 15-minute neighborhood ideal where everything you need (including your job!) is within walking distance from your home.
4. The Next COVID Dilemma: How to Make Buildings Breathe Better (Wired)
Photographer: PhotoHouse | Source: Shutterstock
One of many things that the pandemic has forced us to reconsider is air circulation and quality in our buildings. But as Wired contributor Adam Rogers reports, existing HVAC systems are often poorly maintained with most attention paid to temperature control and little regard for filtration and ventilation performance—all the more worrisome as the temperature drops and people spend more time indoors.
In architecture and urban planning, form and function are married, but perhaps our definition of "function" has been too narrow. The way we design our buildings and our cities demands a holistic approach that prioritizes health, wellness, and happiness—and as unsexy as it may be, an effective HVAC system is necessary for securing the health of a building and the people who use it.
The few options that experts are exploring to most effectively and affordably increase the air exchange rate and improve air quality in buildings, including better ventilation and filtering, will have significant health benefits beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. Acting now to improve air quality in buildings is a strong step toward preventing the spread of future illnesses as well as this one.
5. Here Are the Recipients of the 2021 Creative Capital Awards (Literary Hub)
Photographer: Andrian Valeanu | Source: Unsplash
Rasheeda Saka of Literary Hub reports that Creative Capital—a New York City–based nonprofit that provides awards and advisory services to artists across many disciplines—selected 35 projects created by 42 artists as recipients of its 2021 awards, which offer career development services to artists on the rise and up to $50,000 in project funding.
The arts are perpetually underfunded and gaining an audience as an independent artist is incredibly difficult—no less amid a pandemic. But a flourishing arts scene is an essential component of a vibrant community—it brings character to our neighborhoods, draws in tourism dollars, and provides a ready source for conversation (and debate), strengthening social connection. Nonprofits like Creative Capital and other organizations dedicated to supporting artists are helping to secure a future where creativity and uniqueness are woven into the fabric of all our neighborhoods.

At 4 a.m. on Tuesday, two men drove a few blocks in a bulldozer to the Walgreens on 1306 N Beckley Avenue. They backed it up, and then rammed the 'dozer into a side wall, sending hundreds of goods flying off the shelves and creating a cloud of dust. See for yourself after the jump -- we've got two videos from different angles. According to the sole witness, who was sitting across the street and saw the whole incident, after the men broke through the wall, they ran away on foot. In the video, you see only one of the suspects for a few seconds. Police guess the blaring alarms scared away the men who left empty-handed.
Apparently, this particular brand of smash-and-grab is turning into a trend: Police warn that such "ATM bucket raids" are on the rise. According to the media alert, "a bucket raid is where suspects steal construction equipment and use that equipment to force entry into a hardened target or use it to break free a drive-thru ATM that has been anchored to the ground." Dallas police spokesman Senior Cpl. Kevin Janse estimates there have been "about a half dozen in the last few months," and that such robberies are becoming more common. So, be warned: If you see heavy machinery on the move at night, get out of the way. And call the cops.

Birdsville Indigo (Indigofera linnaei) is a flat, mat-forming, annual or perennial legume. It has many thin, hairy stems, and alternate pinnate, grey-green, hairy, oval shaped leaflets in two rows. I. linnaei produces tight clusters of pinkish red pea-like flowers followed by groups of cylindrical seed pods. The plant is most abundant in pastures at the start of the summer wet season, when first rains stimulate growth of the plant.
All parts of I. linnaei contain indospicine, a non-proteinogenic amino acid that is found in Indigofera plant species. Grazing on pastures containing I. linnaei has been associated with the development of Indigofera toxicity in horses.

World Beating Buddhist Temple Gains Approval in U.S.
Pattaya Daily News, September 30, 2010
Raynham, Massachusetts (USA) -- Plans for a 60-foot-high Theravada Buddhist Temple has gained approval for construction in the small township of Raynham, Massachusetts, according to local media sources.
The temple grounds will encompass a 60-foot-high monastery, cultural center, museum and residence for some 16 Thai Buddhist monks living in the area.
Having setup home in a small New England farmhouse for the past four years, a group of Thai Buddhist monks have gained approval from the local Planning Board to construct what will be one of the largest Buddhist temples in the world.
The temple and meditation center will be used for educational and religious purposes, including meditation and chanting services, religious rites, and teaching about Buddhism, Thai culture, and language.
Topped with a 180-foot golden spear the complex will culminate the long-held dream of Boston-area Thai residents to have a place of worship for their religious beliefs and revered King Rama IX, Bhumibol Adulyadej, who was consequently born in nearby Cambridge in 1927.
In spite of recent controversies surrounding Islamic mosques and the spread of Islam in the United States, no objections to the impressive Buddhist structure were heard at the recent planning and approval meeting. Local residents, on the contrary, have voiced their support of the substantial development and the monks that have occupied the site.
"Anyone can come as a guest and observe and enjoy or join us in chanting and prayer. Buddhism is an open religion. We accept everyone in our temple," said Lamiad Wechapak, a local Boston resident of Thai origin.
Proponents of the project have been granted a variance on the townships 40-foot-high building bylaws, with the extended steeple apparently complying with both local and FAA regulations. The building will be tax exempt as a religious facility.
Outside of Thailand, the proposed Wat Nawamintararachutis, will be the largest Buddhist temple in the World. The 109,000 square foot, white structure with five tiered gables will merge Eastern and Western aesthetics, according to proponents of the development.
The 50-acre site of the project will be formally landscaped and preserve existing maple trees and stonewalls with 5-acres being dedicated for the temple construction, which will be completed by 2012. The remaining acreage is under environmental protection.
Two major events a year, in the spring and fall, and another nine or 10 celebrations throughout the year, are expected to draw between 300 and 700 people but the attendance will be staggered.

Miriam Lord: Finian McGrath more skulk than usual swagger
Minister of State 'like dog who cocked his leg against the sideboard, feigning nonchalance'
Wed, Apr 3, 2019, 21:26
The Minister of State for Disability Finian McGrath shot his mouth off in an interview at the weekend, claiming that gardaí are persecuting innocent drivers. File photograph: Gareth Chaney/Collins
Finian McGrath was parked in the front row of the Government benches for the two main sessions of Leaders' Questions this week. It's almost like he was ordered to sit there, say nothing and take his medicine, which was surely coming.
He didn't look his chirpy self – more skulk than customary swagger. Like the dog who cocked his leg against the sideboard, trying to feign nonchalance but waiting for the wrath to descend.
The Minister of State for Disability Issues (with special responsibility for buoying up Shane Ross at the cabinet table) shot his mouth off in an interview with the Sunday Independent at the weekend, claiming that gardaí are persecuting innocent drivers with breathalysers at the most ridiculous times of the day in a brazen effort to undermine his mentor Ross, the minister who recently updated the driving laws.
Apparently the hangover police are deliberately targeting people dropping their children off at school and worshippers on their way to 10am Mass. When the irritated drivers complain, the guards say "don't blame us, missus, this is all Shane Ross's fault".
Before the day was out, Finian was backtracking faster than a squad car in reverse and apologising to everyone
Don't just take Finian's word for it. He said TDs from all parties have been telling him about constituents who are up in arms over this form of political policing. In the interview, the Independent Alliance deputy for Dublin Bay North went so far as to suggest that Drew Harris, the Garda Commissioner, should "de-politicise" the force.
Winston Churchtown
It must be very distressing for the Independent Alliance to hear that An Garda Síochána is actively briefing against their leader Ross, aka Winston Churchtown, particularly as Winston is the patron saint of Stepaside Garda Station and when a general election is in the offing. This might explain Finian's outburst in the Sindo.
It was rather baffling. From this column's embedded position in Dublin Bay North, the bagging of squiffy citizens on the mid-morning grocery run to SuperValu isn't one of the burning issues of the day. But if –and some rural TDs are very annoyed about aspects of Ross's legislation – a cohort of voters is not happy, Finian is the man who will step up to the plate and selflessly throw himself in the path of oncoming headlines to support their cause.
The suspicion is that his injudicious comments were a clumsy effort to deflect the blowback from Winston's blow-in-the-bag controversy onto An Garda Síochána, which follows the rules he set out for them in legislation. And also a publicity effort for Finian.
At least his remarks provided further proof that the urban-rural divide isn't all it's cracked up to be by indignant deputies on the Independent benches cooking up yarns for local papers.
It seems what goes for the sozzled daily communicants of South Kerry also applies to the footless school-run moms of Dublin Bay North, all of them besieged by breathalyser-toting guards hell bent on proving it isn't just the seat belts that are buckled.
'Bizarre'
But junior minister McGrath overstepped the swagger with his political policing soundbite. His Government colleagues cried foul. The Minister for Justice expressed outrage. "Bizarre" and "dangerous" was how Charlie Flanagan described the remarks. Jim O'Callaghan, his Fianna Fáil opposite number, called for an apology.
Before the day was out, Finian was backtracking faster than a squad car in reverse and apologising to everyone. But he said what he said.

The affair was building up a nice head of steam. Garda representative bodies went on parade. Victim support groups protested. By Monday, there were mutterings in the media about McGrath being "under pressure".
The return of Dáil business on Tuesday was awaited with interest.
In a slow week, Finian's hide would have been roasted over the coals. In a slow week, the legs of his high chair at the Cabinet table would have been sawn down by now.
Thank heavens for Brexit. Filling all the gaps between inadequate public housing policy, the latest hospital trolley crisis and the Government selflessly ignoring the incoming election season by bravely dodging an increase in property tax.
Brexit, when the big wigs are too busy to be bothered by a normal Government "crisis".
Brexit saved the day for Finian, sitting for two days in the front row, waiting for someone to stand and call for his high chair on a plate. Sadly, a traumatised Winston Churchtown was too upset on both days to enter the chamber and sit with him for moral support.
Nobody said a thing about Finian and the politics of chancing your arm with outrageous statements which you can immediately withdraw like a Westminster Brexiteer after the latest indicative vote.
Nothing. On Wednesday, after enduring Leaders' Questions and the opening questions from main Opposition players in the follow-up session, he scuttled away.
So he missed Charlie McConalogue's intervention. Charlie is Fianna Fáil's agriculture spokesman.
"I thought I might be falling over in anticipation today when I would be asking this question because Minister Finian McGrath was actually in the Chamber. But as usual, he absconded before we could actually get to promised legislation and avoided answering any questions," he began in an inelegant preamble to a short question about HSE funding for two care centres in Donegal.
Incomprehensible
For Finian's recent outburst had rendered Charlie incomprehensible.
"Of course, Taoiseach, if any of us, when we look back to our schooldays had been able to turn up and shoot the breeze and fist-pump and high-five our friends and shoot the breeze about a summer trip to North Korea or about a grant to get Granny more money we would all have enjoyed ourselves."
Leo Varadkar furrowed his brow.
We all did.
"And I think it's high time that you as Taoiseach actually talk to Minister McGrath and his Independent Alliance colleagues to ensure that they come to the chamber here to account for their actions. Minister McGrath in his interview in the Sunday Independent at the weekend created a fine mess for himself and, indeed, the Government and even he wasn't brazen enough not to appear in the chamber today but I'll bet removed himself. But Taoiseach, you might be willing to tolerate this as long as he doesn't raise any heckles about you using the office of Taoiseach to write fan mail to Kylie Minogue, let alone raise any heckles about the performance of the Government in health or housing."
Charlie then pointed out that the Minister for Disability Issues promised funding to two organisations but it hasn't materialised.
"Can you, since he's not here Taoiseach, take him up and actually ask that he would follow up on that and also maybe ask if he and his Independent Alliance colleagues would actually attend this chamber to be actually held to account for their performances?"
Leo exhaled.
"That was a long contribution."
Willie O'Dea piped up from across the floor.
"But it was very entertaining."

Weekly Book Haul.....September 20, 2015
This has been a good reading week. I got a copy of Diane Chamberlain's new book Pretending to Dance as part of the Fall Reading Challenge from Booksparks University. This is my new favorite book of her's so far - a title that previously belong to The Secret of Ceecee Wilkes. I read it in one day, a review will be coming.
This may be the last weekend in the pool, so I'm trying to take advantage of every afternoon hour in the sun. Every winter, I think that I should have spent more time in the pool. And winter is creeping up.......
Julia's Daughters by Colleen Faulkner....Julia Maxton can't imagine anything worse than losing one
of her three daughters—until the day seventeen-year-old Haley runs a stop sign, killing her younger sister Caitlin. Six weeks after the crash, the family is falling apart. Julia struggles not to show hostility toward Haley, but her deep-rooted anger won't go away. Her husband, Ben, has drifted away emotionally. Their youngest daughter, Izzy, is lost in the shuffle. And despite Haley's insistence that she's fine, her actions scream otherwise.
Fearing that she's about to lose a second child, Julia decides to take Haley on a cross-country drive. Maybe somewhere between Nevada and Maine they can bridge the gulf between them. But first there will be painful questions to face—is Julia a good mother? Did she secretly love responsible, respectful Caitlin more than defiant Haley? Can Haley ever find peace with her mother—and herself—again?
In Colleen Faulkner's most thought-provoking and complex novel to date, an unthinkable tragedy becomes the starting place for a powerful journey toward healing and hope. Honest and unforgettable, Julia's Daughters explores the surprising ways that families—even the most fractured—can save each other, over and over again.
Little Girl Gone by Alexandra Burt....A baby goes missing. But does her mother want her back?
When Estelle's baby daughter is taken from her cot, she doesn't report her missing. Days later, Estelle is found in a wrecked car, with a wound to her head and no memory.
Estelle knows she holds the key to what happened that night – but what she doesn't know is whether she was responsible…
The Seafront Tearoom by Vanessa Greene....The first rule of afternoon tea: never rush. Take time to
savor it. Just like friendship…
The Seafront Tearoom is an insider secret in small-town Scarborough – a beach-front haven with the best tea and cakes in town – and journalist Charlie Harrison would love to put it on the map with a feature in her magazine. But single mom Kat Murray doesn't want to see her favorite sanctuary overrun by tourists, and begs Charlie to seek out other options. She offers her help, as a "tea obsessive," and so does French au pair Séraphine Moreau, whose upbringing makes her a connoisseur of everything sweet and indulgent.
Together the three women will scour the countryside for quaint hideaways and hidden gems, sharing along the way their secrets, disappointments, and dreams – and discovering that friendship, like tea, takes time to steep. But learning too that once you open your heart, the possibilities are endless.
Shattered Blue by Lauren Bird Horowitz....For Noa and Callum, being together is dangerous, even
deadly.
From the start, sixteen-year-old Noa senses that the mysterious transfer student to her Monterey boarding school is different. Callum unnerves and intrigues her, and even as she struggles through family tragedy, she's irresistibly drawn to him. Soon they are bound by his deepest secret: Callum is Fae, banished from another world after a loss hauntingly similar to her own.
But in Noa's world, Callum needs a special human energy, Light, to survive; his body steals it through touch—or a kiss. And Callum's not the only Fae on the hunt. When Callum is taken, Noa must decide: Will she sacrifice everything to save him? Even if it means learning their love may not be what she thought?
Pretending to Dance by Diane Chamberlain....Molly Arnette is very good
at keeping secrets.
She lives in San Diego with a husband she adores, and they are trying to adopt a baby because they can't have a child on their own. But the process of adoption brings to light many questions about Molly's past and her family--the family she left behind in North Carolina twenty years before.
The mother she says is dead but who is very much alive. The father she adored and whose death sent her running from the small community of Morrison's Ridge. Her own birth mother whose mysterious presence in her family raised so many issues that came to a head.
The summer of twenty years ago changed everything for Molly and as the past weaves together with the present story, Molly discovers that she learned to lie in the very family that taught her about pretending.
If she learns the truth about her beloved father's death, can she find peace in the present to claim the life she really wants?

Elevation of the Host
Sunday 8.00am Eucharist
This is a quiet service with a short address. On the first Sunday of the month the service follows the pattern of the Book of Common Prayer.
Sunday 10.30am Parish Eucharist
This is our principal gathering each week and includes an address, music - including a choir - and refreshments after the service. During school term time, Junior Church – for children of primary school age - meets during the first half of the service in the Community Room. Incense is used at this service as a symbol of prayer, and much of the service is sung. We hear readings from Scripture and share Holy Communion together.
Occasionally this service is an All-Age mass, which includes contemporary music and a lively address suitable for children.
Sunday evening worship takes place on special occasions, usually at 6.00pm. Please see the weekly news sheet for further information.
The Offertory at the Parish Eucharist
The Lady Chapel
Our worship together is structured on ancient patterns of prayer inherited from Scripture and the earliest Christian disciples
Please note: the pattern of worship described on this page is currently in flux due to the coronavirus pandemic. Please check the current times of services in the parish church on the Home page of this website.
At the centre of everything we do and are is the Eucharist, also called the Mass or Holy Communion. Christ instructed his disciples to celebrate this meal in remembrance of him, and we do this nearly every day. In the Eucharist we encounter Christ, and the transforming power of his love.
On Sundays our main celebration at 10.30am combines music and movement, colour, scent and taste – a feast for all the senses. On weekdays and early on Sunday morning, our worship is simpler, an interplay of words, actions and silence.
Alongside the Eucharist, we pray the Liturgy of the Hours, also called the Daily Office. At Morning and Evening Prayer we recite the psalms and listen to readings from Scripture and ancient Christian authors. We pray through the day to help us 'hallow time', and recognise the presence of God in every moment.
The Sunday Morning Congregation
Fr Chris McDermott giving a homily
Weekday Worship
We celebrate the Eucharist throughout the week at the following times:
Tuesday 12.00pm Eucharist
Wednesday 10.30am Eucharist followed by coffee
Thursday 12.00pm Eucharist
Friday 12.00pm Eucharist
Saturday 12.00pm Eucharist

Since the Quebec City Summit of 2001, one-third of the countries in the Americas gained new leadership, poverty was on the rise, with 44% of the population in Latin America and the Caribbean living in poverty, and economic growth was staggering.
The Heads of State and Government met in Monterrey, Mexico on January 12-13, 2004 to advance the implementation of measures to combat poverty, promote social development, achieve economic growth with equity, and strengthen governance in our democracies.
The governments signed the Nuevo León Declaration which focused on three areas: Economic Growth with equity to reduce poverty, Social Development, and Democratic Governance, and issued 72 mandates.

NO TIME FOR SUBTLETY: Super Senses. Black Panther has PROTECTED: Pulse Wave. If Black Panther is 150 points, he is KO'd when he cross the red KO line.
This character can't be targeted or damaged by the specified effect(s). If this character was targeted by the effect, the effect's duration (if any) immediately expires. If the specified effect is Outwit or Pulse Wave, their "can't be used" doesn't apply to this keyphrase.
PULSE WAVE RANGE: Halve range, . Other characters within range can't use powers or abilities (for this action). Make a range attack targeting all other characters, at least one of which must be opposing, within range and line of re using their printed defense values. If more than one character is targeted, each hit character is dealt 1 damage instead of normal damage.
Does the "Black Panther has PROTECTED: Pulse Wave" mean that he can't be targeted and damaged by Pulse Wave at all?
emouse wrote: Does the "Black Panther has PROTECTED: Pulse Wave" mean that he can't be targeted and damaged by Pulse Wave at all?
Yes. Black Panther can't be targeted or damaged by Pulse Wave.
WIELDING THE GAUNTLET: FREE: If Black Panther is on click #1-6, turn Black Panther's dial to another click from #1 to #6, noting his current click. If you do, at the end of your turn, return him to the noted click.
RELEASE THE DEAD TO TURN THE TIDE: STOP. Combat Relfexes, Toughness. When this click is first revealed, after resolutions generate two Zombie Warrior bystanders. Black Panther can't be healed.
If Black Panther uses his trait to turn to click 6 and takes pushing damage and ends up on click 7, do you return him to the noted click at the end of the turn?
tensazangetsu wrote: If Black Panther uses his trait to turn to click 6 and takes pushing damage and ends up on click 7, do you return him to the noted click at the end of the turn?
Yes. An instruction to turn a character's dial to a specific click is not considered to be healing or damaging it. Also note that the bystanders are only generated the first time each specific click is revealed, so when Black Panther would be turned to click# 7 again, he would not generate an additional two bystanders as that click was already revealed earlier in the game.
FREE: If Black Panther is on click #1-6, turn Black Panther's dial to another click from #1 to #6, noting his current click. If you do, at the end of your turn, return him to the noted click.
If Black Panther were to activate his effect and then be removed from the map (such as due to becoming a pilot), would he still return to his original noted click at the end of the turn?
pupulesurfer wrote: If Black Panther were to activate his effect and then be removed from the map (such as due to becoming a pilot), would he still return to his original noted click at the end of the turn?
Yes. If a character activates or triggers an effect that sets up a delayed resolution or trigger; the delayed resolution/trigger will still resolve/trigger and will still affect the character (if applicable) even if it is off the map.

There's no doubt about it - the times, they are a-changin' - and for the better. While the 1990's will be remembered for many things, some of the most significant and lasting impacts on business undoubtedly are the result of 1.) legislation that was enacted during the first part of that decade and 2.) the beginning of the modern day Green Movement.
The first of these milestones began with a piece of legislation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), which was signed into law on July 26, 1990 by President George H.W. Bush. With the signing of the act, ADA prohibited discrimination against persons with disabilities and guaranteed equal opportunity in employment, government services, public accommodations, commercial facilities, and transportation. While slow to take root outside the government sector, ADA has gained significant momentum in recent years within local municipalities and the commercial sector, making its way into building codes across the country.
The second watershed event coming out of the 90's and having a lasting impact on business for the foreseeable future was the founding of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) in 1993 and the subsequent Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) in 1998. The USGBC and LEED aim to create an awareness of environmental responsibility throughout the country - "USGBC is committed to a prosperous and sustainable future for our nation through cost-efficient and energy-saving green buildings".
Largely as a result of LEED, green construction has soared from $3 billion in 2005 to $58 billion in 2011 and will reach $122 billion in 2015. As a component of their own commitment to social responsibility and the environment, many customers - among them government, municipalities and fortune 500 companies - are requiring sellers to pursue LEED Certification or maintain internal green initiatives. Bottom Line - Green is 'in' and it's here to stay. Let the professional LEED Accredited staff at Midwest Business Consulting help determine what green means to your business.
Seeking a LEED Certification? The experts at MBC can help your project or business become LEED Certified (40-49pts) or obtain higher levels of certification such as Silver (50-59pts), Gold (60-79pts), or Platinum (80+pts).
MBC is committed to sustainability and helping businesses minimize their impacts on the environment. We maintain accredited LEED professionals on staff and we regularly tap a network of USGBC Accredited LEED Green Associates and LEED APs as well as experienced industry professionals to collaborate on client projects. Our goal is to minimize impacts and mitigation expenses, educate clients and maximize the benefits of certification. MBC will be with you through each step of the process - helping clients select the appropriate rating system, registering projects through the submittal and review processes and marketing the achievement to maximize ROI.
Looking to make a difference within your business - let the sustainability team at MBC assist in a sustainability audit. We work closely with clients to balance goals and budgets with the environmental footprint of your operations. Through efficient utilities, lighting, building materials and design, recycling programs and local sourcing, MBC is able to help clients achieve goals, and in many instances save money.
Businesses as well as state and local governments alike are undertaking significant efforts to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. This means looking at all aspects of accessibility from signage to TTY phones, access ramps, restroom accessibility, pet relief areas, water fountain heights, non-visual assistance cues and customer assistance programs.
Whatever your compliance needs, trust MBC to help.

Werewolf Derek and house spirit Stiles get ready for their first Christmas.
"What's wrong?" Derek asked with genuine worry in his voice.
The werewolf roared a laugh that echoed around the whole lake.
Someone hires bounty hunter Derek to catch Stiles.
Stiles' head whipped towards the werewolf. He couldn't see much of him apart from his red eyes, always following Stiles. Crazy as it might sound, it comforted him. The werewolf wasn't the rabid animal Elis seemed to picture. He was just… hurt.
Derek startled awake in the middle of the night. For a split second he didn't know why, then as he felt a strange weight on his chest, he raised his head and looked down. And stayed speechless.
There was a tiny creature, barely the size of Derek's whole hand, sitting on him. It had a human shape, from what Derek could see.
