This week, Sassy Denise has chosen Something New. We are sponsored this week by Sassy Studio Designs and this month as a special little treat, we have not one, but three Icing on the Cupcake Sponsors; Blue Jelly Stampin, Polkadoodles and The Paper Shelter.
As for this card, I am excited to tell you I'm really pleased with it! It's not often I am so happy with a card I've made, but I like this one. I keep going and looking at it just to make sure I really made it. I just think it's a really 'Fluffie' card; you look at it and know I made it. You can't really tell from the picture, but I covered the whole image in glitter and it looks really pretty in real life.
Sweet Cheeks bought me a set of stamps (this is one of them and my Something New.) that I'd been hankering after for most of last year for Christmas. Unfortunately, the fully trained Baggage Control Operative nabbed it on the day it arrived and it had to go under the tree. That was that. Pah!

Trump fails to cite McCain's name in signing bill named for him
11 monthes ago | By Boston Herald
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump signed defense legislation named for Sen. John McCain in a splashy ceremony at a New York Army base on Monday without once mentioning the ailing Arizona Republican's name. Trump traveled to Fort Drum, N.Y., from his golf resort in Bedminster, N.J., to sign the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act, the fiscal 2019 version of legislation Congress passes annually to set priorities for the military. He was joined by Vice President Mike Pence, who traveled separately from Washington.

10 Ways Prince Fans Taught Me About The Veneration of Saints
Home » Devotion » 10 Ways Prince Fans Taught Me About The Veneration of Saints
Music | A Selection Of Our Favorite Catholic And Christian Songs and Artists,Saints,World's View
In a society who doesn't bat an eyelash when it comes to inaugurating "halls of fame" for the heroes of our age (musicians, actors, sports players, etc), why are Catholics looked upon with suspicion and ridicule when it comes to the veneration of the saints? Why is it that we cover our walls with of our favorite celebrities and use our social media to unceasingly announce their "glory," and without a second thought we ridicule those who venerate (never worship!) the saints?
The clearest example of this can be seen every time some popular artist or celebrity dies. Prince Rogers Nelson died at his Paisley Park recording studio and home Minnesota, on April 21, 2016, at the age of 57. A world-renown musician, Prince's death has sparked a huge reaction amongst fans and celebrates. In addition to countless news articles and celebrity tweets, over 4 million copies of his albums have been sold in the U.S. just in the last two weeks. Social media, along with society in general, continues to mourn and grieve over the loss of this artist who apparently meant so much to them.
To explain this point, I will outline 10 ways that people honored Prince (as well as other recently deceased artists), each of which bears a natural kinship to the Catholic practice of venerating saints:
1. Reverence and Piety
Most people have a certain level of respect for an individual when they have recently passed away. For example, if anyone makes jokes about this individual's death shortly afterward, one may be heard to retort "TOO SOON", though that artist may have in fact "danced with death" their whole career. Yet, when it comes to music and Hollywood, there is a special kind of gentleness of tone that certain individuals may not afford anyone else. These individuals often build shrines, speak about their influence, and even wax poetic about the meaning and substance of their life.
I still remember when heavy metal legend Ronnie James Dio died, and many of his admirers talked of his kindness and good deeds. Indeed, one does not need to appear before a saint in a cathedral to see a vigil candle lit in the name of a beloved popular figure. Simply look at the awe and "holy fear" with which the devotee speaks of their favorite artist, whoever they are, and you will see that very same instinct. In this famous scene from the film Wayne's World, the lead characters demonstrate just how naturally we fall into religious postures, even when the figure seems to evoke quite the opposite of that instinct.
2. The Name Change
This example isn't so much about how individuals honor the popular figure as it is about how the popular figure seeks to define (or re-define) himself. Whether in Hollywood or in the religious life, it is hardly extraordinary to change your name. In the case of the religious figure, their name is changed often to embody some virtue or figure they wish to imitate. When one is canonized such a figure frequently becomes synonymous with their place of origin, or with some virtue (and sometimes even a flaw) that captures the larger narrative of their life.
As it relates to the artist Prince, Prince was indeed his given name (though interestingly it was given to him by his father who had previously taken this as his own stage name). In any case, this was not enough for Prince, for at some point in his career he chose to change his name (so to speak) to an unutterable symbol. So "sublime" was this particular performer (apparently) that no word could capture his essence. Beyond "The Artist", as he was sometimes called, there are countless other examples of people taking stage names for all of the same reasons that religious figures do (Sting, Bono, Marilyn Monroe, Snoop Lion, David Bowie, Madonna, etc.), though their reasons for doing so are usually considerably less humble, say, than consecrated Religious who take on a saint's name upon profession of vows.
3. R.I.P.
While praying for the dead is associated with the souls in Purgatory, these prayers are nevertheless offered for those whom we hope will eventually be in heaven, so it applies at least in that sense. Granted, this is only a rudimentary form of prayer, almost a subconscious aspiration offered by admirers of the particular celebrity, but it is prayer nevertheless.
In the town where I reside, on the day Prince died, there was a neon billboard that prayed that Prince would "RIP", or rather, "rest in peace". The "RIP" prayer is basically a universal way that people can express their desire for eternal peace for someone without explicitly saying it (whatever your religion or irreligion). Perhaps this is because the acronym "R.I.P." feels a little less Catholic, thus the rest of the world is a little more OK with it. I won't tell them (or maybe I will), that it comes from the Latin requiescat in pace… which is a Catholic prayer for the dead.
4. Santo Subito
As is this case when many popular artists die, there's a natural tendency to idealize their lives. "Santo subito" is the Latin phrase which declares, on behalf of the sensus fidelium and the vox populi, that this person warrants immediate canonization. Obviously the standard is very different in the eyes of the world as to what that means (virtue is not always high on the list), but nevertheless there is a similar attitude of indefectibility that we impute to the artist. There's almost a kind of general absolution that is granted to him or her, especially with regard to any indiscretions committed (i.e., questionable behaviors or lifestyle choices).
They are afforded this because of all the good we ascribe to their particular talents. But the truth is, the religious saint has a much greater claim to this "absolution," even though the world tends to see it in reverse. Below is a brief clip from the funeral of Whitney Houston, a beautiful singer who tragically overdosed on drugs. Kevin Costner eulogizes her as if reflecting on the Blessed Virgin Mary. I point this out not as a mockery, but in order to indicate how natural is this instinct to canonize, whether it be a deceased loved one or a celebrity.
5. Iconography
Whether one is talking about a famous figure like Princess Diana, or someone like Blessed Mother Teresa, the term "icon" is often used interchangeably. In the strictly religious sense, it refers, at least artistically speaking, to a specific type of art that serves as a window to the divine. But in the broader sense, it refers to anyone who seems to have transcended their own historical time period.
The world uses this term as a kind of catch-all for anyone whose name has endured. Coupled with their memory, there is also usually some kind of iconic photo that accompanies their fame, not to mention an image which is ultimately emblematic of their success, and seems to embody what is most memorable about them. Prince is no exception on this front, for there are any number of "iconic" symbols, colors, and images associated with him.
6. Relics
Without getting into the different classes of relics that one can possess, it is more than a little easy to see the connection between the Catholic mentality surrounding relics, and the larger attitude of society surrounding objects connected to significant events and people. Whether you're talking about sports, film, music, or even loved ones, objects have an incredible power over us to the extent that they are connected to our favorite figures. Indeed, no one would call it strange to kiss a picture of someone we love, or even someone who we long to be loved by. No one would deny that they have at least at one point kept an object, ticket, article of clothing, as a keepsake because it connected us to a memory of a person in whose presence we felt a kind of glory. I can only imagine all of the Prince "relics" that are out there now.
While the Catholic faith takes it a step further by directly connecting those objects to the divine realm, this kind of higher devotion seems to be a natural extension of the former. One can even find direct examples of this in Scripture, whether in the Old or New Testament, all the way from the healing bones of the prophet Elisha, to the miraculous handkerchief of St. Paul. If we experience the power of some drumstick thrown into the crowd by a musician, how much more should we venerate the relics of one who is totally united to God in heaven?
7. Beatitude
Along with attempting to canonize these popular figures in the earthly sense, there is also a push by the vox populi to place him or her in the high heavens, bypassing just about every the Catholic criterion (which is founded on holiness). This could be seen most distinctly after the death of David Bowie. One particular meme quipped that God had finalized his "super-group", for there had been a recent spate of popular musicians dying in a relatively short period of time. But, whatever the case, when artists like this die, people admit religion, if only as a kind of desire or aspiration, a way for that artist to live on in perpetuity. In some ways, this explains the seemingly paradoxical study that came out in the U.S. recently that showed that people hadn't given up the belief in heaven per se, but they had stopped believing in God. I will leave to my readership to write the punchline on that one.
8. Revealing Our Favorite Stories About Them
When we become enamored with a particular artist or athlete, we often find ourselves scooping up every little detail about them, real or imagined. When it comes to the lives of the saints, the Church has sometimes been criticized for conflating the truth with reality. Yet this is not only a Church problem, this is rather a human tendency anytime when we encounter someone who is in our sight remarkable. Just look at how stories are sometimes framed surrounding Pope Francis (for good and ill), especially surrounding the manner in which he bucks the traditional narrative of a pope. My favorite story came with this particular headline: "Pope Francis Picks Up Hitchhiker".
From such a headline, any number of magnificent images and stories might arise. What was the story on the ground? A priest friend of his from Argentina happened to be in St. Peter's Square as the pope was making his way through the crowd, so the pope gave this priest a ride in the "popemobile." This is not to say that extraordinary things do not happen, but rather that even the ordinary becomes extraordinary in the presence of a beloved figure.
9. Mourning Their Loss (though we have never met them)
A few days after the death of Prince, there was an article in a music publication which successfully explained from a secular perspective – and provided justification for – why Catholics choose to venerate and mourn people whom we've never met. According to this article, we do so because the artist is able to speak to our collective psyche; they give voice to our inexpressible desires and longings. Obviously, one can quibble with the extent to which Prince does that in the positive sense, but what can't be argued is that the true saint does appeal to us for just that reason. He or she is able to make living a life of holiness that much more intelligible to us. If we struggle in understanding God's will for our own lives, or the meaning behind the world as we experience it, the iconic figures, for whatever reason, seem to be apt translators. They make it easier not only to understand life but to fathom the beauty therein even in the midst of sorrow. And so when they die (if they were alive in our lifetime), we feel sorrow because they made us feel, not only closer to the divine, but closer to ourselves.
The Veneration of Prince
10. Intercession
Perhaps one of the most perplexing things, at least from an outsider's perspective, is why Catholics ask "dead people" to pray for them. As a Catholic, I cannot help but point out that saints are not zombies, nor are they the spirits of the damned, but rather those who live forever in Christ, or, as Jesus put it; "I am the God of the living, not of the dead" Matthew 22:32. In any case, what can the death of a musician like Prince teach us about this particular Catholic instinct, for I do not know many individuals who are apt to say (while chanting); "David Bowie, ora pro nobis."
The dictionary defines intercession as "the action of intervening on behalf of another". Yet what is "intervening on behalf of another" if not gifting them hope in their hour of greatest need? How many individuals have found their calling through an inspired writing or story of some saintly individual? How many people have felt saved by a song that came on the radio at just the right time, or by an artist that seemed to translate the inarticulate groanings that lie deep in our hearts. On the road to Auschwitz, and in the heart of a starvation bunker, St. Maximilian managed to get his fellow inmates to sing songs of hope that they might face death with Christ-like courage. Don't tell me that intercession is only about praying to "dead people"; it is anyone in heaven, on the earth, or in between that gives us strength to run the race and finish it!
As is the case with everything else on this list, we can see that the Church does not simply leave our worldly instincts as they are, but rather elevates them to their highest form, for "grace builds on nature, it doesn't destroy it." Both may not resemble each other precisely in practice, but they certainly do in the order of desire.
A final example of this parallel can be seen in Chris Carter's Hall of Fame induction speech. In the speech, he even connects the Hall of Fame with the heavenly realm. Yet what is most moving about his approach is that the speech is only secondarily about himself. First and foremost, the speech is about all the people who made him great, all those who challenged him and who saw greatness in him. The speech itself is a kind of sermon on the communion of saints.
Why talk about Prince?
As a final thought, one of the biggest mistakes that Catholics make in attempting to explain the Faith to others is that they often tend to use language and concepts that are foreign to the listener. Indeed, they are much like the scientist seemingly incapable of using anything other than abstract scientific terms to explain themselves.
The challenge of the evangelist is something more personal and empathetic than all that. They have to stand outside of themselves and imagine what the Faith might sound like to someone who has never heard it before. In practicing empathy in this regard, they can then begin to help the other individual to truly comprehend the beauty of the Faith from their own perspective. The question is, how does one go about this?
Simply put, the best way to accomplish successful evangelization is not by becoming more "spiritual" in your explanation, but rather by being more down to the earth. The trick is to realize that the heavens have already spoken. It is now our job to translate and make those ideas incarnate. The good news about all this is that we do not have to re-invent the wheel. Not only are there good apologists out there, but even better, we have our own personal experience. The world already imitates in a secular way what the Church expresses in theological terms.
The doctrines of the Catholic Faith are fundamentally the doctrines of humanity, albeit infused with a supernatural significance (or, rather, their deeper significance). Hence, if you ever want to know how to explain the Catholic Faith to anyone, simply start by observing a man and how he reacts to those things which he deems to be the most essential. In other words, he may not value what we value, but he will nevertheless ultimately go about those things the similar way.

October box-office revenue hits a record $790 million; specialty horror remake 'Suspiria' scores the top average of the year so far.
Blumhouse and Universal's Halloween has no doubt decided on its All Hallows' Eve costume — profit monster.
Thanks in large measure to Venom, A Star Is Born and now Halloween, domestic revenue has already hit a record for the month, or $789.9 million, well above the previous best set in 2014 ($757 million).
A direct sequel to the classic 1978 slasher pic, Halloween grossed a stellar $32 million from 3,990 theaters in its second weekend, where it stayed atop the chart to finish Sunday with a domestic tally of $126.7 million. That's the best showing for an R-rated horror pic since It a year ago, as well as one of the top showings of all time for the genre, not adjusted for inflation.
Halloween also scared up headlines internationally, where it beat Venom to top the foreign chart with $25.6 million from 47 markets for an offshore total of $45.6 million and $172.3 million globally. Another big winner overseas was Fox's Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, which sang its way to a $12.2 million debut in the U.K. following its premiere in London last week and ahead of its domestic launch later this week. The U.K. opening came in 127 percent ahead of the music-infused A Star Is Born, 95 percent ahead of The Greatest Showman and 46 percent ahead of La La Land.
Other notable achievements for Halloween in North America: It scored one of the top showings ever for the Halloween corridor. And the pic has fast become Blumhouse's top-grossing title behind Get Out and Split. Halloween's sophomore outing was no doubt aided by getting a berth in some Imax theaters that were previously showing Universal's troubled astronaut drama First Man.
Directed by David Gordon Green and costing just $10 million to produce before marketing, Halloween dropped 58 percent, a strong hold for a slasher or horror title. Box-office analysts say Halloween — which features Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her role as the iconic Laurie Strode — is the rare picture that has already reached profitability.
Holdovers A Star Is Born and Venom also continued to do scary business in their fourth outings.
A Star Is Born, from Warner Bros., stayed at No. 2 with $14.1 million from 3,904 locations for a domestic tally of $148.7 million. Overseas, where it isn't singing quite as loudly, the remake crossed the $100 million mark over the weekend after earning $17.6 million from 75 markets for a foreign cume of $104.6 million and $253.3 million globally.
Sony's Venom followed domestically with $10.8 million from 3,567 theaters for a North American total of $187.3 million. Better yet, the superhero pic sailed past the $500 million mark globally after earning another $17.3 million offshore from 65 markets for a foreign total of $321.1 million and $504.8 million worldwide.
Halloween wasn't the only spooky entry that enticed moviegoers as the actual holiday approaches. Sony's family-friendly Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween earned $7.5 million from 3,723 cinemas in its third weekend for a domestic cume of $38.3 million and worldwide take of $62.5 million.
Goosebumps 2 ended up beating newcomer Hunter Killer, starring Gerard Butler, Gary Oldman and Common. The submarine action pic from Lionsgate and Millennium rounded out the top five with a muted $6.7 million from 2,720 theaters.
Hunter Killer, which earned an A- CinemaScore, follows an American submarine captain who tries to help stop a Russian coup that would topple that country's president. He assembles a team of Navy SEALs to rescue the kidnapped president and stop World War III from breaking out. Lionsgate acquired the rights from Millennium.
Fox 2000's acclaimed YA film adaptation The Hate You Give came in sixth in its second weekend in wide release with $5.1 million from 2,375 theaters for an early total of $18.3 million. The movie hopes to have a long run throughout awards season.
Hate You Give managed to beat Universal's awards hopeful First Man, which continued to struggle in its third weekend, grossing $4.9 million from 2,959 theaters for a total of $37.9 million domestically. Internationally, the film earned $6.3 million from 50 markets for a tepid foreign tally of $36.6 million and $74.5 million worldwide.
Most major studios avoid the weekend before Halloween in terms of high-profile nationwide releases, since consumers are focused on parties, pumpkin patches and other spooky distractions.
Universal and Working Title chose only a small footprint — or 544 cinemas — for Johnny English Strikes Again, with Rowan Atkinson returning as the lovable, accidental secret agent. The movie is considered an international play, earning a strong $107.7 million overseas. Domestically, it didn't make much of a dent, grossing $1.6 million.
The new indie faith-based film Indivisible, opening in 830 locations in the U.S., struggled in its launch with an estimated $1.5 million. The pic, distributed by Pure Flix, is based on the true story of an Army chaplain and his wife who fight to save their marriage with the help of God.
With awards season heating up, there was a flurry of new titles debuting at the specialty box office, including Luca Guadagnino's prestige horror remake Suspiria (Amazon Studios), starring Dakota Johnson, Mia Goth, Chloe Grace Moretz and Tilda Swinton.
Suspiria scored the top opening average of 2018 so far, or $89,903 from two theaters. That's the best opening average since — as fate would have it — Guadagnino's Call Me by Your Name ($103,233) in November of last year. Suspiria even bested Guillermo del Toro's Oscar-winning The Shape of Water, which opened in early December 2017 to a screen average of $83,282.
Among other award contenders, Lee Chang-dong's Burning (Well Go USA) — South Korea's entry for best foreign-language film in this year's Oscar race — reported an opening per-screen average of $14,325 from two theaters, while Sweden's Oscar submission, Ali Abbassi's Border, premiered in seven locations for a per-screen average of $10,224. Neon is handling Border stateside.
Maryam Keshavarz's drama Viper Club (Roadside Attractions), starring Susan Sarandon, didn't fare as well. The film bowed in three cinemas for a location average of $4,698.


This question is so often asked and there are varied opinions. Let's break down the major differences and then discuss how to make this decision.
The SAT was redesigned in 2016 and no one knew what to expect. Many students switched to the ACT in 2016 and 2017 because the New SAT was an unknown and there just was not any way to prepare until it was released.
Once the new SAT was released many students still continued with the ACT because there was simply more practice material on the market.
This has now changed and the SAT seems to be making a come back and students are re-engaging with this test.
However, the ACT, once only accepted by a limited number of colleges and universities, has emerged as a powerhouse in the testing industry. The ACT is accepted at all higher institutions and it has a distinct advantage as many schools do not require any or as may SAT subject tests to be submitted with the college application if you take the ACT.
Contain entirely passage-based Reading and English/Writing questions. These are called "English" on the ACT and "Writing and Language," on the SAT.
However, there are still many ways in which the ACT and SAT differ from one another.
Many of these differences deal with the number of questions and the time that is given to answer the questions.
Here are the factual details but look below for the interpretation of key differences.
Each section uses a scale of 1-36. Your total score is the average of your four section scores.
The optional Writing section uses a scale of 2-12 and does not count toward your final score.
The Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) and Math sections each use a scale of 200-800 and are combined for a total score.
The optional Essay uses three separate scales of 1-8 and does not count toward your final score.
Now let's look at the key differences so you can make an informed decision.
The SAT gives you more time to answer the questions so, in essence, it is a slower test. This is across the board for all sections so if time is an issue then this is one point in the favorability column for the SAT.
The ACT has a section entirely devoted to science and the SAT does not. The ACT science section is more an interpretation of scientific data, graphs, and hypothesis. The SAT does test some scientific knowledge but it is through the other sections like a science passage or word problems in the math section.
If you love science and interpreting data then that is a favorability point for the ACT.
The SAT has a no-calculator math section and the ACT does not. With the overuse of calculators, many students do struggle with this section.
However, the use of a calculator on both tests can be inhibiting and it is best to get really good at practicing without a calculator for both tests.
The ACT tests some concepts that you will not see on the SAT. These are matrices, graphs of trig functions, and logarithms. If you are taking honors- level courses at your high school then these topics should not scare you off. However, if you take regular math classes in high school these topics might be a bit challenging or just realize that you have to learn for the test.
If you feel that you are stronger in algebra and analyzing data then the SAT is more in your favor. If you like straightforward math questions and you have exposure to trig functions and geometry and like that type of math then the ACT is probably more to your liking.
The SAT provides a diagram of math formulas at the start of each math section whereas the ACT does not. Some students just feel more comfortable with these formulas even though these concepts don't make up a large part of the test.
The SAT Math counts for 50% of your overall score whereas in the ACT it only counts for 25% but the science section makes up the other 25% of the score.
The SAT and ACT Math are both multiple choices but the SAT gives 4 possible answers and the ACT gives 5 possible answers. You have a 5% higher probability of getting a question correct on the SAT Math.
The SAT has 22 % open-ended math questions where you have to grid in your answers.
Evidence-support questions are only tested on the SAT Reading but do not exist on the ACT Reading. These are questions that build off of the questions that come before them and ask you to cite specific lines or paragraphs as evidence for your answer to a previous question. If you like these or are good at them then the SAT may be a good test for you.
Questions on the SAT Reading are in chronological order based upon the passage whereas on the ACT Reading the questions do not follow the order of the content in the passages.
The essay is optional on both tests but how you write and what you write about is different.
SAT Essay — section you read and then analyze (for understanding, style, use of techniques). You use evidence and reasoning to support the point the author is trying to convey. You DO NOT give your opinion.
ACT Essay — section you read a short passage about an issue and then analyze the different perspectives on this issue and you DO give your opinion.
If you take the SAT, many competitive college and universities (especially if you are entering engineering, pre-med, or STEM courses) will require one, two or three additional tests called SAT Subject Tests.
It is important that you look at the colleges where you plan to apply and see what is required by way of additional subject tests.
If you take the ACT, most colleges and universities do not require additional subject tests (however there are a few highly competitive schools that do – for example Carnegie Mellon). While this is not a hard and fast rule it is more the norm that you do not need additional subject tests if you take the ACT.

Managment of orbital complications of sinusitis
By Fazil Emre Ozkurt, Zeynep Gursel Ozkurt, Aylin Gul, Mehmet Akdag, Engin Sengul, Beyhan Yilmaz, Harun Yuksel and Faruk Meric
Purpose: We reported on the clinical approaches of ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology departments in the treatment of the orbital complications of sinusitis. We also included an in-depth literature review. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical files of 51 patients from January 2008 to January 2014. The records were evaluated for age, gender, type of orbital complications, symptoms, predisposing factors, imaging studies, medical and surgical management, culture results, and follow-up information. SPSS version 15.0 software (Statistical Analysis, The Statistical Package for Social Sciences Inc, Chicago, IL) was used for the statistical analysis. Results: Fifty-one patients met the criteria, with available medical records, for the study (29 male, 22 female). Thirty-two (62.7%) were diagnosed with preseptal cellulitis and 19 (37.3%) with postseptal cellulitis. After a detailed evaluation, 15 were diagnosed with a subperiosteal abscess (SPA), and 4 were diagnosed with orbital cellulitis. The age and gender was similar for the two groups. Five patients with medial SPA were treated with endoscopic sinus surgery, one patient with inferior SPA was treated with external surgery, and six patients with other localizations were treated with a combination of endoscopic sinus surgery and external surgery. All patients presented with periorbital erythema and edema. The length of hospitalization and duration of symptoms were similar in both groups. Visual acuity was between 1/10 to 10/10 (mean 7/10) and statistically significant for preseptal and postseptal cellulitis groups (p<0.001). All patients received intravenous antibiotics upon the first day of admission. Conclusion: Orbital complications of acute sinusitis required intensive follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach. A contrast-enhanced paranasal sinus computerized tomography (CT) scan can detect the extent of the infection. An initial trial of intravenosus (IV) antibiotics may be appropriate when close monitoring is possible. Surgery may be indicated when there has been no improvement within 48 hours of intravenous treatment, loss of visual acuity (under 8/10), and a non-medial abscess

As the Forex Exchange Market is a non-centralized OTC market, proper brokerage regulation is a top issue for all Forex traders and partners. An effective regulation requires a reliable regulatory authority with sufficient resources, capable of closely monitoring its members.
Regulatory authorities control Forex brokers in order to ensure the implementation of proper business practices. They can impose high penalties or even withdraw a license at any time. This means Forex brokers have a serious incentive to conduct business with ethics and transparency.

NASA again calls off wet dress rehearsal of moon rocket over fuel leak
(IANS) NASA has for the third time halted Artemis 1 moon rocket's "wet dress rehearsal" – this time over fuel leak.
Wet dress rehearsal is an opportunity to refine the countdown procedures and validate critical models and software interfaces.
The test, earlier scheduled for April 1-3, was stopped prior to tanking, due to loss of ability to pressurise the mobile launcher using two fans. It was then shifted to April 12 and April 14.
On April 14, Artemis 1 team members observed a liquid hydrogen (LH2) leak on the tail service mast umbilical, which is located at the base of the mobile launcher and connects to the rocket's core stage, officials said in a statement. LH2 is one of Space Launch System rocket's two propellants, along with liquid oxygen (LOX).
"The leak was discovered during liquid hydrogen loading operations and prevented the team from completing the test," it added.
The mission engineers had last identified a helium check valve – that allows liquid or gas to flow in a particular direction and prevents backflow – that was not functioning. Helium is used for several different operations, including purging the engine, or clearing the lines, prior to loading propellants during tanking, as well as draining propellant.
When teams paused propellant loading, the rocket's core stage liquid oxygen tank was about 49 per cent filled and the LH2 tank had been loaded to about 5 per cent capacity prior to the hydrogen leak.
While the core stage LH2 tank will be kept at about 5 per cent and the core stage LOX loading remains stopped, with the teams working to drain propellant from the rocket.
"The team will not conduct the terminal countdown activities today as planned and will assess next steps after today's operations," Jeremy Parsons, deputy manager of NASA's Exploration Ground Systems team at KSC, said via Twitter.
The test is the culmination of months of assembly and testing for SLS and Orion, as well as preparations by launch control and engineering teams, and set the stage for the first Artemis launch.
Artemis 1 is currently scheduled to launch no earlier than late May 2022.
The uncrewed Artemis I mission is the first flight of the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft together. Future missions will send people to work in lunar orbit and on the Moon's surface.
With the Artemis missions, NASA will land the first woman and the first person of colour on the Moon and establish long-term exploration in preparation for missions to Mars. SLS and Orion, along with the commercial human landing system and the Gateway that will orbit the Moon, are NASA's backbone for deep space exploration.

An in-depth Overview of Rape and Rape Culture CRIJ 2301 April 15, 2013 Oris B. Buckner Abstract Rape is a rather perplexing crime, and occurs by unpredictable circumstance and is comprised of intricate psychological and pathological construction. Rape has no single, specific characterization or fashion and the offenders are not typically an unfamiliar person to the victim. Rape culture is a theory often employed by feminists and those who research and major in women's studies. This concept was developed to express a society wide idealism.Essentially, rape culture occurs when society deems rape and sexual violence as common and ordinary.
Rape culture is an established mind-set, attitude, or approach in which rape, violence against women, and sexual assault are acceptable social norms. Additionally, little is done in the prison system to combat recidivism by rapists, and punishment is often much less severe than a drug dealer or burglar would receive. Rape culture is becoming a critical and substantial component in the amount of rapes committed; currently one woman is raped every two minutes.Despite this absence of societal awareness, rape has developed its own myths, classifications, and types and is not bound by socio-economic status, race, age, gender, or behaviors.
Instead, rape is an equal opportunity offender, and can make anyone a helpless victim. Media outlets such as television shows, motion picture films, various genres of music, and even the nightly news portray an extremely bias depiction of rape and violence against women for society, and subsequently, rape culture is responsible for rape's publicly accepted normalcy. An in-depth Overview of RapeRape in the simplest terms, "is the criminal offense in which a victim is forced and coerced into an unwanted sexual activity" (Madden, 2003). This could include oral copulation, vaginal penetration, or sodomizing sex acts; and is not limited by definition to one act or the other. Nevertheless, the framework and pathology in the commission of rape is much more multifarious and complex than the definition alleges. Unfortunately, rape is often overlooked by society, and blaming the victim is commonplace.
Rape conversely, does not categorize a certain type of victim.Myths and misconceptions about rape and sexual assault are rampant. There seems to be a breakdown in the societal understanding of sexual consent, and a right to say, "No. " Consequently, society's sexist, misogynistic; rape culture is dangerously liable for this unfortunate widespread unawareness. The crime of rape simply can not be defined by one precise description; it is in-fact quite complex. The Crime Classification Manual or CCM begins by dividing rape and sexual assault into three categories based on the age of the victim. These categories are specific age groups and include adult, adolescent, and child victims.
Adults are victims over the age of 18 and can give consent to sexual activities, if they so choose. Adolescents however, may not be able to give consent to sexual activity, depending on the jurisdiction; and range from the ages of 13 to 17. Children are younger than 13 years old and therefore, are not able to give consent to sexual activity. The CCM classifies the act of rape into 11 different types with various sub-categories.
These defining categories "illustrate the variety in rape crimes and aide in the difficult prosecution of the crime itself" (Madden, 2003).Although the legal definition of rape varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, a great deal of research is used to label and specify the different types of rape. For example, In the Rape Investigation Handbook, researchers J. Savino and B. Turvey identified four categories of rape, which are "legal, clinical, moral, and political" (Savino, & Turvey, 2005).
Clinical definitions are specific to providing treatment for the victim to overcome the trauma of rape, and secondly, to study the pathology of the offender. Political definitions encompass rapes committed by a particular group, agenda, political party, or religious organization.Political rape is occurring at alarming rates in Africa. Apparently, rape is cheaper than bullets in The Congo, and the military is using rape as a tool of war. According to SMH. com, "The Congolese army and rebel groups systematically use brutal gang rape against their enemies, causing crippling injuries and spreading HIV" (SMH.
com, 2009). The CCM definitions and categories of rape are more specific. The first category is criminal enterprise rape, which is sexual assault committed for material gain. Another category is felony rape, in which rape occurs during the commission of an additional felony.The additional felony could be a robbery or burglary, etc. Furthermore, felony rape is divided into two sub-categories, which are primary and secondary felony rape.
Primary rape occurs when the offender's original intention was to commit rape, and secondary rape occurs when the other felony act committed was the original intentional felony, and the rape was more or less opportunistic in nature. The third CCM category is known as "personal cause rape" and these assaults seem to be a result of personal aggression or psychological issues which subsequently end in the sexual victimization of another person.Personal cause rape has several sub-categories including but not limited to domestic sexual assault, marital rape, entitlement rape, and date rape.
Date rape is defined as a victim and offender who had prior knowledge of one another, simply meaning they knew each other prior to the sexual assault. This commonly occurs on a date but can happen in any situation when there is an imbalance of power. This could be a teacher and student relationship, or even a boss and subordinate relationship.
The offender, who has the balance of power tipped in their favor, exploits the victim into performing sexual acts.Most rape offenses are about the level of power and control the offender has over the victim and is not always sexual, even if the act itself is. Power reassurance rape is another subtype; however, it is perpetrated on a stranger in a sudden attack with little physical harm to the victim. Rape driven by the anger of the offender is known as anger rape. Anger rape is yet another sub-category of "personal cause rape" and these kinds of rape are primarily motivated by impulse and often display and advanced degree of aggression. Anger rape however, has four of its own sub-categories.These categories are classified as gender, age, racial, and global rape.
Gender rape is usually committed by men who despise women. These rapists express their anger toward women through violent rape. Age rape is motivated by the basis of the victim's age. These rapes are often perpetrated towards children and the elderly. Racial rapes are motivated by racism, and the hatred of the offender is projected onto the victim during the rape. Global rape occurs when the offender is angry with the world, and chooses to take out the aggression on the victim through rape.
Global rape often displays igh levels of aggression and violence towards the victim. In the case that the offender uses violence that was clearly in excess to what would have been required to initially commit the rape, it is known as sadistic rape. This includes torture of the victim and over displayed physical abuse and aggression. An example of a sadistic rapist is Dean Corll who raped, tortured, and murdered 28 boys.
He would strap these young men to a board to restrain them while he tortured them mercilessly. Dean would insert glass tubes into the urethras of these boys and smash their penises with a hammer.At times, this torture and rape would last for several days, before Corll killed his victims by strangulation or by shooting them with a. 22 caliber pistol. Abduction rape is another sub-category of "personal cause rape. Abduction rape occurs when the offender takes the victim farther than twenty feet with the intention to commit the rape. Dean Corll employed the procurement of his victims by two teenage boys who would lure and abduct the boys Corll would rape, torture, and kill.
(Serial Killers Murders, n. d.) Group cause rape, also known as gang rape, occurs when three or more offenders commit sexual assault.Two offenders are classified as "personal cause rape" and the motivation of the offenders vary. Gang Rape is divided into two sub-categories.
These are formal gang rape and informal gang rape. Formal gang rape occurs when, "three or more offenders express a sense of cohesiveness and belong to the same group or organization" (Madden, 2003). This could be in instances of political rape, such as the previously discussed Congolese army and additionally by organized crime and street gang affiliations. Informal gang rapes occur, in contrast, by three or more offenders who are loosely organized.
Informal gang rape is often spur of the moment, and unplanned. A recent example of rape committed by more than one offender is the 2012 Steubenville, Ohio, sexual assault of an intoxicated, unconscious 16 year old girl. Two young football players raped the girl while other team members photographed and tweeted images of the act. Both young men were subsequently convicted of the rape.
The rapists claimed the sex was consensual even after referring to the victim as "the dead girl" on video. The victim was unaware of the assault occurring until she was bombarded by "slut shaming" on social networking sites. Trent Mays, one of the offenders sent a picture of the victim passed out with his sperm on her body, and sent a text message that stated, "She could not even move, LOL" (Green, 2013). Though this rape was personal cause classification because there were less than three offenders; it is my opinion, that the bystanders who cheered on, video taped, and photographed the assault are just as guilty as the offenders themselves. While one party guest tried to stop the assault, his protests were dismissed, and he once again became silent.This is known as the bystander effect. This phenomena is common across many aspects of society, including rape culture, and it happens when people watching do nothing in hopes someone else might.
"Social psychologists Bibb Latane and John Darley popularized the concept following the infamous 1964 Kitty Genovese murder in Kew Gardens, New York. Genovese was stabbed to death outside her apartment three times, while bystanders who reportedly observed the crime did not step in to assist or call the police" (Psychology Today, 2013).The witnesses to the Steubenville rape watched and did nothing to help the victim, even as the rapists joked about "paying each other to urinate on her" (Green, 2013). Taking snap shots and making videos, all the while laughing at the victim, were published on social media outlets as well as the popular video sharing site You tube. The theory behind making a joke of rape is not a new one, but this begs the question of why and when is rape ever funny? Rape is in-fact, not a joke and is no laughing matter. There are so many issues, myths, and ideas that add up to a shared societal view known as rape culture.
For instance, some specific ideology presents a picture of rape culture in society today. Slut shaming is a major contributor to rape culture. The media plays a significant role in perpetuating rape culture.
The Steubenville rape is a prime example of such a theory. Mia McKenzie states," Today, the two 16-year-old football players who were accused of raping a 16-year-old girl in Steubenville, Ohio were found guilty. The boys' emotional reactions to the verdict, including crying in court, led several different CNN personalities to lament that their young lives have been ruined" (McKenzie, 2013).The statements made by the news correspondents on CNN suggested sympathy for the rapists, as if they were the victims in this situation. CNN introduced the verdict announcement as "Two star football players are found guilty of raping a sixteen year old girl" (The Sublime Degree, 2013). The story continues on with more sympathetic statements such as, "These two young men, star foot ball players, and very good students were unfortunately convicted and their now lives are over" (The Sublime Degree, 2013).
The empathetic comments were made by CNN correspondent Poppy Harlow.This is victim blaming at the very core, with a small degree of slut shaming insinuating that the victim in this case, is in the wrong. Slut is a derogatory term used to degrade women's sexuality. When women are called a "slut" it generally expresses three central ideas 1.
Sluts do not respect themselves. 2. Respect is earned, graded, and judged by how many sexual partners, encounters, experiences a woman may have. 3. Sluts are stupid women, and because of their stupidity, they do not deserve the respect of society.Slut shaming occurs when a woman presents a sexual behavior that someone does not like or approve of.
Historically, it has been a strong society wide belief that women should remain virgins until they are married. Society has evolved a little since then but not by much. Currently, the general consensus is that if a woman does not wait until she is married, she must absolutely love the person she chooses to sleep with. Sluts are often assumed to be "bad women" and are reduced down to a level that is not where most of society is, but much lower.Slut shaming is also a punishment for a woman who behaves promiscuously, like a "man.
" People make bad decisions all the time, but women's promiscuous behavior is always considered a bad decision, the same idea is not conversely applied to males. This is where sexism comes into play in rape culture. Slut shaming deems these "bad decisions" made by a woman are worthy of societal reprimand.
"These punishments come in the form of losing every one's respect, being shamed, being called a slut, being bullied, and perhaps even being assaulted or raped" (Green, 2012).When society reduces a woman down to slut status, in the mind of the average person, she then becomes one of "those girls. " When she is labeled one of "those girls" they seemingly have no right to say, "No" to any sexual advance.
This mentality is what keeps victims feeling ashamed and why many rapes go unreported. Another facet of rape culture is outside opinions suggesting it was the victim's choices or behaviors that led to rape in the first place; therefore it is the victims fault. This is known as victim blaming, and women who blame other women for being raped are known as "male-identified females. For instance, "she should not have worn that outfit," or "she should not have gotten so drunk" are recurring common victim blaming misconceptions. In actuality, women should be able to wear whatever they choose, even if they are completely naked; should feel secure and be free of the risk of rape. In- fact, how a person is dressed and level of sobriety have no effect on the chances of rape anyway.
People are raped all around the world daily regardless of how they are dressed, number of sexual partners the have had, or how intoxicated they are.In India where women are covered from head to toe, there is still the presence of rape. The existence of this widespread ideology suggests that people need to be educated about sexual consent. Rape is a widespread global pandemic, in-fact, one woman is raped every two minutes, and sixty-one percent of all homeless women are fleeing from rape at home. What's more, one out of every four girls will be raped before age 18.
A study out of the United Kingdom presents some startling statistics about rape occurring there.According to the study published in January 2013, "60,000 to 95,000 women are raped in the UK annually" (Burn-Murdoch, 2013). This data was collected from rapes occurring over a three year-period. In addition to female rape statistics, the same study states, "More than 9,000 males are raped in the UK every year" (Burn-Murdoch, 2013). Regrettably, rape is often used as a hate crime tool against the gay community, and men are often the victims of rape, even though it is widely under-reported, and one in every six boys will be raped before the reach age 18. One out of every 33 men has been the victims of attempted or completed rape.
Even more disturbing, eleven to twelve percent of all rape and attempted victimizations occur with male victims" (Burn-Murdoch, 2013). Homophobia and shame throughout society often keep male rape victims silent or even denying that rape occurred. Most people believe that when rape occurs it is committed by a stranger, a loner, a reject, an outcast.
A scary stereotypical, weird stranger which most people would avoid is the "assumed image of a rapist.However, stranger rape is actually quite rare, most survivors know their attacker, and moreover, marital rape rates are increasing and society is generally unaware that marital rape occurs in the first place; and that marriage is not a permission slip to rape a spouse. Spousal rape often transpires in domestically violent relationships. According to RAINN the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network, "It was not until the late 1970s that anyone was convicted of raping his spouse in the United States. Before then, criminal codes typically included a provision barring prosecution for the rape of one's spouse" (RAINN, 2009).
The article goes on to discuss, "In the 1970s and 1980s, several states adopted laws criminalizing marital rape, and by July 1993, it was illegal in every state to rape one's spouse" (RAINN, 2009). Despite these laws, marital rape is prevailing today; and, similar to other forms of rape, it remains one of the least reported crimes. Also, it is regarded by society as a minor crime, which is due to rape culture and sadly, is an attitude reflected in many states' laws. Additionally, Rape is not age discriminatory, in fact infant rape rates are on the rise world wide.On April 2, 2013 the Huffington Post published a story about a man who was convicted of raping his six month old baby to death (Welsh-Huggins, 2013). "It is estimated that fifteen percent of sexual assault and rape victims are under the age of 12, and one out of seven are under the age of six" (Harley, 2012).
What's more, infants as young as "8 days old are being reported to have been sexually penetrated and sodomized" (Harley, 2012). The bitter truth is, "Infant rape in America, like other sexual crimes, has been going under reported for a long time.Unless the rape causes severe or fatal injuries, it is unlikely victimized infants will be known or reported" (Hartley, 2012). This rape culture ideology is witnessed and experienced in the justice system as well.
"A judge in Nebraska went so far as to forbid a woman from using descriptive language that employed use of the words rape, sexual assault, or even naming herself the "victim" She was also prohibited from referring to the defendant as the "attacker," in her testimony" (Mazie, 2013). "The judge explained his decision away by alluding to the defendant's right to an initial presumption of innocence.This sympathy for offenders needs to end.
The judge's order essentially defines society's tendency to justify rape and disparage rape allegations. Society seeks to blame the victim for the sexual assault and protect the criminal. Unfortunately, rape is persuaded, not discouraged or dissuaded when society shifts towards victim blaming attitudes.
"The institutionalization of misogyny in the courts, as well as slut-shaming attitudes in society, results in outrageously under-reported, un-prosecuted rapes despite the fact that one in five women in the U. S. have been sexually assaulted" (Mazie,2013).In summation, rape is complex, and occurs in varying forms. Rape has no single definition or style and can be committed by strangers but also more often committed by those familiar to the victim.
Rape culture is becoming a significant determining factor in the amount of rapes committed as well as societies view on the act in general. When society blames the victim for their abuse, it perpetuates the crime. Reference Burn-Murdoch, J. (2013). The Guardian Data Blog. Retrieved from http:/www. guardian.

Q: How can I access a public static int variable in another class/file? The IDE I am using is Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 and I am following a guide for game development.
I have the following code:
//Game.h
#pramga once
class Game{
public:
    Game();
    static int mapWidth;
};

//Game.cpp
#include "Game.h"

//Initialization
int Game::mapWidth;

//Implementation class
Game::Game(){
mapWidth = 10;
};

//Camera.h
#pragma once
#include "Game.h"

class Camera{
    Camera() = default;
    void update(){
      if (Game::mapWidth > 0)
          //do something
    }
};

What is interesting is that if I hover over this variable in Camera.h the IDE recognizes the variable and where its coming from. But, when i go to compile i get the following error from my if statement:
C2653 'Game': is not a class or namespace name

I am using the scope resolution operator and my vairable is public static and initialized in Game.cpp/h. So, why am I getting this compile error when the IDE recognizes the variable and the Game class as existing?

A: You seem to be missing a trailing semicolon at the end of your Game class definition. Definitions of structs and classes in C++, unlike in other languages, end in closing bracket AND a semicolon. Such an error might be hard to spot (depending on your IDE). When the preprocessor includes Game.h in Game.cpp, it puts it right above the initialization of Game::mapWidth, which causes it to get invalidated.
Proper definition should like this:
class Game {
public:
    static int mapWidth;
    Game(); // <-- declaration of constructor should be here
}; // <-- note the semicolon

This is the case for your Camera class as well.
class Camera{
    if (Game::mapWidth > 0)
         //do something
}; // Semicolon

EWC: Is this what the govt is planning?
Terence Corrigan |
Terence Corrigan writes on a leaked constitutional draft apparently in circulation
There are times when circumstances require taking risks. These are times in which dangers exist in acting, but even more profound ones may arise in failing to act.
This is the case today, as South Africa's political elite and its government drive towards adopting a regime of Expropriation without Compensation (EWC). Its implications stand to have a potentially more extensive, more disruptive and more destructive impact on the country's future prospects than just about anything undertaken since the advent of democracy.
Not only will they reverberate through the economy – they are doing so already – but given that this drive has already manifested itself in a demand for an amendment to the Bill of Rights, through the country's civil liberties as well.
The Institute of Race Relations has received a document purporting to be a draft of the proposed Constitutional amendment. This issue was prominently foregrounded last year when Parliament undertook a consultation process to investigate whether the Constitution should be changed to enable EWC. Unsurprisingly, although contrary to the clear weight of opinion, it declared that it should.
What this would look like was unclear, but – probably because of the evident damage that the whole 'debate' was having on the country – government and the ruling party sought to play down the implications of the change. The amendment would, for example, only 'make explicit that which is implicit' in the Constitution.
Resolution of the matter was postponed until after the election.
If the draft we have been given is genuine, there may be a reason for this. For the changes it envisages are profound indeed, and there is no guarantee that they would be warmly welcomed by the public at large. Disclosed before the election, they may have set off a great deal of concern and dissatisfaction, even among the African National Congress' (ANC's) constituency.
The draft at issue would effectively rewrite Section 25 of the Constitution. Several broad observations can be made. The first is that the amended Section 25 is substantially longer than the existing one (eleven subsections as opposed to nine), and is altogether more detailed in the requirements it imposes on the state. This includes establishing new institutions, and possibly committing to new policies. This may signify an attempt to use the constitutional amendment process to pre-ordain the legislation to be enacted and its administrative architecture.
A second observation is that while Section 25 in its existing form is heavily influenced by the imperatives of land reform, it is formulated so as to make it generally applicable to all forms of property – the first three subsections do not mention land specifically, and establish the broad principles of ownership and for deprivation of property as a whole. In contrast, the amended version is substantively a clause about land. Its opening phrase (subsection 1) is 'Land in South Africa', followed by a series of points setting out the broad parameters of landholding in South Africa. While the amended version does note that 'property is not limited to land', it is clear that this document was written with an unambiguous emphasis on land and land reform.
So what does it propose?
The main features are clear. The most notable change is that all land will belong 'to the people of South Africa', and that it must be 'administered by the state as custodian of all land on behalf of and for the benefit of the people of South Africa'. People's entitlements to a decent standard of living (and to land to achieve this) are affirmed. State action is mandated to achieve the latter, including through the establishment of a Land Administration Commission, a Land Reform Agency and a Land Fund. The outlines of conditions for expropriation are set out (retaining the current principle that it may not be arbitrary), and permitting Expropriation without Compensation under certain conditions. The existing restriction of claims for restitution and redress to events after 19 June 1913 is removed, presumably making possible claims that predate this, provided they arose from 'racially discriminatory laws or practices'. An extensive set of considerations is put forward to decide on compensation, along with the (rather confusing) rudiments of a formula for applying it.
This suggests that one of the more acute fears – a mass custodial taking and the ending of private ownership in land – is very much on the cards. This is despite attempts by some in the ANC and in government to downplay such a possibility. However, this has not been uniformly rejected by all in the ANC, and has been vocally championed by the Economic Freedom Fighters. It has also been proposed by the government's land audit.
The institutions proposed might be understood as a response to the administrative malaise in land reform (another measure proposed in the State Land Audit). Whether the Constitution is the appropriate platform to require their establishment is questionable. It is perhaps noteworthy than there is no requirement in this document for a unified land law, a measure widely called for – although the lack of such a requirement would not necessarily preclude an intention to introduce it elsewhere.
The proposed amendment would also seem to mandate a land tax of some description – 'land rights holding charges'. Once again, this mirrors proposals in the land audit. The implication of this seems to be that while no one would be able to own land, those occupying it would be required to pay a form of rent for doing so.
The stress on expropriation and the specification of EWC are somewhat jarring. Having taken custodial control of all land, EWC in land would seem – on the face of it – to be superfluous. This is especially so given that the relevant subsection is written explicitly in reference to land. It lists one of government's duties as 'expropriating without compensation and reallocating land that is:
Not used according to its designated land use regulation;
Used for speculation, rent-seeking and other unproductive purposes, and
Acquired or used unlawfully.'
However, EWC may be intended here to provide an avenue for the government to seize total control of properties – by confiscating user rights, for example – while absolving itself of any obligation to compensate. It is also unclear what 'speculation', 'rent-seeking', or 'unlawful' acquisition might refer to.
Furthermore, in dealing with the compensation payable in the event of expropriation, the amended version talks about finding an 'equitable balance' between a set of identified factors – ten of them – but then declares that 'the final compensation must include (e) and (h) but exclude all other values including (a) and (i).' As regards the first two, (e) refers to the purchase price of the property, or the value of any remaining mortgage on it, while (h) speaks of everyone's right to appropriate the improvements he or she has made on it.
Within the latter group of eight factors, (a) refers to the custodial nature of South Africa's envisioned landholding, while (i) refers to 'state ownership of land value increments that are attributable to' such things as infrastructure development and population growth. The other factors that are listed as relevant to compensation – but which are ultimately to be excluded from consideration – embrace all five criteria now included in Section 25, among them market value and the 'current use' of the property.
So a third observation is that parts of the amended version make little practical sense.
It is interesting to note that much of what appears in this document echoes comments made by Masiphula Mbongwa, Director General for the War Against Poverty in the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform, at Davos earlier this year. In response to concerns from delegates about South Africa's future, he indicated that the intention was:
A) to include s25(4) of our Constitution (which defines property as 'not limited to land') in the expropriation law;
B) to introduce a National Land Act that is like our National Water Act 36 of 1998; our National Environment Management Act 108 of 1998; and our Mineral & Petroleum Development Resources Act 28 of 2002.
C) An amended s25 of the Constitution to
a. vest land in the people of SA;
b. affirm the rights of everyone;
c. have a land value tax on s25(3) land values;
d. have a statutory entity for land administration systems; and
e. remove the 1913 restitution cut-off date.
Elements of the proposed revision certainly match what he set out. On the other hand, the contradictions within the draft suggest that this has not been adequately thought through. Perhaps it is an untidy amalgam of various proposals. Shoddy drafting would not be without precedent (a decade ago, the critically important Companies Act was at the centre of a storm when around 100 errors – many of simple expression and grammar – were identified).
If this is indeed genuine, and represents the intention of the ANC and the government, it raises troubling questions about the direction of policy. It suggests a recommitment to a dirigiste path that – in view of the pathologies within the state – has no chance of driving growth and promoting prosperity. It would also be the next round of betrayal of the country's people, who evince a strong attachment to the idea of property ownership, but have all too frequently been denied this by government policy.
Of course, if this is of no standing, perhaps a hoax or the unrepresentative reflections of a lowly civil servant, it should be easy to refute. We hope that the government will do so.

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of traveling for a month in Southeast Asia. It was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life … I started in Bali, then Cambodia, Laos and ended my journey in Thailand. Throughout the trip there were many amazing moments.
Being a total foodie I spent most of the trip enjoying the many unique culinary creations of each country. I LOVE discovering healthy food options around the world.
My search for healthy food in Thailand had me go on an adventure to the Orion Healing Center in Koh-phangan. Here I was treated with the most delicious chia bomb creation. The memory of this healthy goodness stuck with me for weeks after returning home and I knew I had to recreate my own version of the magic.
This Raw Chia Bomb Breakfast Bowl is full of whole-food probiotics and fiber to help support a healthy digestive system. It is also extremely high in antioxidants and contains awesome healthy fats for brain and body optimization. Also … it's a BREAKFAST food! Clients are always asking me what they can eat for breakfast. This is one of my favorite recommendations and one of the best ways to start off a happy and productive day.
1. For The Chia Gel: Soak 3 tbsp of Chia Seeds in 1 cup of Filtered Water. If you use a warm water the chia will soak faster, or you can prepare this step the night before and leave overnight to soak. Add 1 tsp Pure Maple Syrup to sweeten the mixture.
2. For The Raspberry Sauce: Blend 1/2 cup Raspberries with 1 tbsp Raw Honey in a blender until smooth. If the mixture is chunky add 1 tsp of water and increase as needed. If you're using frozen raspberries you may need to use slightly warm water to blend the mixture properly.
3. For The Coconut Kefir Yogurt: This delicious and probiotic rich recipe is available here. If you are buying a store bought yogurt make sure you are avoiding added sugars, preservatives, chemicals and look for an unpasteurized variety. The homemade yogurt recipe will always be the most beneficial to your digestive system.
4. For The Assembly: Layer the raw granola and/or nuts with the chia gel, yogurt, raspberry sauce and fresh fruit. I like to have a layer of raw/granola at the bottom, then the raspberry sauce, the yogurt, the chia gel, a layer of fresh strawberries, then more granola/nuts, more raspberry sauce, more yogurt and a layer of assorted fresh fruit on the very top. Feel free to play with the layers!
