Biography of Christopher Marlowe
SK Emamul Haque	Biography of Christopher Marlowe, Christopher Marlowe, life of Christopher Marlowe, lifetime of Christopher Marlowe, who is Christopher Marlowe
Christopher Marlowe also known as Kit Marlowe (baptized 26 February 1564 – 30 May 1593), was an English playwright, poet and translator of the Elizabethan era. His date of birth is not known, but he was baptized on 26 February 1564, and is likely to have been born a few days before. Thus he was just two months older than his contemporary William Shakespeare, who was baptized on 26 April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. Marlowe was the foremost Elizabethan tragedian of his day. He greatly influenced William Shakespeare, who was born in the same year as Marlowe and who rose to become the pre-eminent Elizabethan playwright after Marlowe's mysterious early death. Marlowe's plays are known for the use of blank verse and their overreaching protagonists.
A warrant was issued for Marlowe's arrest on 18 May 1593. No reason was given for it, though it was thought to be connected to allegations of blasphemy—a manuscript believed to have been written by Marlowe was said to contain "vile heretical conceipts". On 20 May he was brought to the court to attend upon the Privy Council for questioning. There is no record of their having met that day, however, and he was commanded to attend upon them each day thereafter until "licensed to the contrary". Ten days later, he was stabbed to death by Ingram Frizer. Whether the stabbing was connected to his arrest has never been resolved.
[adToAppearHere]
Marlowe attended The King's School in Canterbury (where a house is now named after him) and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he studied on a scholarship and received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1584.In 1587 the university hesitated to award him his Master of Arts degree because of a rumor that he intended to go to the English college at Rheims, presumably to prepare for ordination as a Roman Catholic priest. However, his degree was awarded on schedule when the Privy Council intervened on his behalf, commending him for his "faithful dealing" and "good service" to the Queen. The nature of Marlowe's service was not specified by the Council, but its letter to the Cambridge authorities has provoked much speculation, notably the theory that Marlowe was operating as a secret agent working for Sir Francis Walsingham's intelligence service. No direct evidence supports this theory, although the Council's letter is evidence that Marlowe had served the government in some secret capacity.

Hawaii Gears Up — Again — For Olivia - Honolulu Civil Beat

Hawaii Gears Up — Again — For Olivia
UPDATED: The entire state is now under a tropical storm warning as leaders encourage residents to be on guard.
By Marcel Honore / September 10, 2018
Olivia, the latest in an unsettling string of tropical cyclones to barrel toward Hawaii this hurricane season, is likely to bring strong winds and heavy rains to the islands starting late Tuesday.
Hawaii's leaders are trying to rally residents to stay on guard just two weeks after many went into full mobilization mode as Hurricane Lane approached.
On Monday, Oahu officially joined Maui and Hawaii counties under a tropical storm warning for Olivia. The status, issued by the National Weather Service, means the islands should see the effects of the storm within 36 hours. On Tuesday, the warning was extended to Kauai County.
This satellite image from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows Hurricane Olivia east of Hawaii at around 6:30 a.m. Monday. It weakened to a tropical storm hours later.
In the past two days, the message has been for local residents to transcend any "hurricane fatigue" — the hangover of worry from Lane and Hector earlier this summer — and to stay vigilant this week as Olivia descends from the northeast.
Storm-Tracker
Latest NWS advisory: 2 p.m.
Maximum sustained winds: 55 mph
Location: 135 miles northeast of Hilo, 260 miles east of Honolulu
Movement: West-southwest at 21 mph
The cyclone's precise course is still unclear, but "it's important that we don't fix directly on the forecast track," said Tom Travis, administrator for the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency. "This storm could directly impact every area of the state, from South Point to the North Shore of Kauai."
Lane, Olivia's predecessor, didn't inflict the level of damage that many officials feared it would. But that storm, which lingered for several days near Hawaii, still took its toll by dousing the Big Island and Kauai with severe flooding and sparking destructive fires on Maui.
The projected path of Olivia as of Tuesday morning.
On Monday, Travis joined Gov. David Ige and other local authorities to warn that while Olivia won't be as strong as Lane, a direct hit could be just as dangerous.
The official message to residents Monday was to take the next storm seriously. They advised local households to keep their 14-day supply kits ready.
"Please, folks, don't let your guard down," Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell said during a midday media briefing at the Capitol. "A tropical storm is just as dangerous as a Category 1 (hurricane), and we don't know what it's going to look like as Olivia approaches the Hawaiian islands."
State Of Vigilance
Caldwell, his cabinet, and other agencies joined the National Weather Service on at least two video-teleconference calls Monday to discuss Olivia's progress. The city has so far opted against opening eight planned emergency shelter locations — most of them schools — but officials said they'll reassess Tuesday morning.
City crews Monday also worked to clear debris from streams just as they did ahead of Lane, Caldwell said, to try and lessen the effects of flooding. The goal is to avoid the impacts Oahu saw in 2016 with Tropical Storm Darby, which turned parts of the H-1 Freeway into a "river," as Caldwell recounted Monday, and left the city's Kalihi Transit Center and many of its Handi-Vans damaged from flooding.
The National Weather Service, meanwhile, advised in an online update Monday to "resist the temptation" of even comparing Olivia to Lane.
"Although Lane was a stronger tropical cyclone near the islands, it did not bring direct core impacts to the state," the updated states. "In some areas, Olivia could bring significantly worse impacts."
Nonetheless, officials could be up against some hurricane fatigue from residents who spent days last month bracing for devastation from Lane.
"We don't want to frighten people or overreact either so we're asking for this kind of balanced approach," Caldwell said during a briefing Sunday on Olivia. "I am hopeful that the impacts will not be dramatic on this island. But I'm not taking it for granted."
Dolph Diemont of the Federal Emergency Management Agency talks about being prepared for Olivia on Monday.
Meanwhile, federal officials said Monday that they're ready for Olivia — and that's largely because of the sustained chain of flooding and lava-related disasters that have plagued the state since April.
FEMA's liaison officers, as well as its search-and-rescue and medical teams, were dispatched across the islands Monday, said Dolph Diemont, a federal coordinating officer based in Seattle.
The agency has stockpiled food, water and generators across the state, Diemont said.
FEMA is currently stretched thin with multiple tropical cyclones bearing down on the U.S., Diemont said. That includes Hurricane Florence, a powerful and dangerous storm that threatens to strike the East Coast later this week. Nonetheless, "everything is here on the islands so we're ready to go when (Olivia) happens," Diemont said.
If most of those supplies weren't already in Hawaii — and FEMA had to start from scratch to bring them to the state — then "we would be fighting for resources like you wouldn't believe," Diemont said.

\section{Introduction}

The study of semiclassical and nonrelativistic limits of the Dirac equation is a useful method to understand some effects on fermions coupled to external fields. In both, gravitational~\cite{Obukhov:2009,Goncalves:2007} and electromagnetic backgrounds~\cite{Silenko:2008, Barducci:2009}, the Foldy-Wouthuysen (FW)  transformation~\cite{FW} has proven to be a favorite way to obtain the nonrelativistic limit of the Dirac equation, because it provides a block diagonal form representation of quantum operators and hence of the Dirac Hamiltonian itself.
Powerful applications of FW transformation in semiclassical calculations can be exploited in systems of other than (3+1) dimensions~\cite{Matias:1992} due to its relation with the supersymmetric character, in the quantum mechanical sense~\cite{Cooper:art, Cooper}, of some class of Hamiltonians, as well as in different stationary metrics~\cite{Heidenreich:2006, Buhl:2008}.

In the free Dirac equation,
\begin{equation}
i \frac{\partial \Psi}{\partial t} = (\mathbf{\boldsymbol{\alpha} \cdot p} + \beta m ) \Psi ,
\label{Dirac}
\end{equation}
expressed in natural units, $\hbar = c =1$, with the matrices $\alpha^i$ and $\beta$ given in terms of the Dirac $\gamma^\mu$-matrices as $\alpha^i = \gamma^0 \gamma^i$ and $\beta = \gamma^0$,
the large and small components of the Dirac spinor $\Psi$, labeled by the momentum $\mathbf {p}$,  get mixed by the odd operator $\mathbf{\boldsymbol{\alpha} \cdot p}$  involving off-diagonal elements. The FW is a canonical transformation which,  by removing such an operator from the Dirac Hamiltonian,
\begin{equation}
H_{\rm free}=\mathbf{\boldsymbol{\alpha} \cdot p} + \beta m,
\end{equation}
allows to decouple these large and small components of  $\Psi$.
The free FW transformation,
\begin{equation}
e^{i S_{\rm free}(\mathbf{p})} = \cos{|\mathbf{p}|\theta} +
                \frac{ \mathbf{\boldsymbol{\gamma} \cdot p}}{|\mathbf{p}|} \sin{|\mathbf{p}|\theta},
\end{equation}
with $\theta$ given through
\begin{equation}
\tan(2 |\mathbf{p}| \theta) = \frac{|\mathbf{p}|}{m} ,
\end{equation}
is exact, and renders the free Hamiltonian in the form
\begin{equation}
H_{\rm free}^{FW} =\gamma^0 \sqrt{\mathbf{p}^2 + m^2} .
\label{H_FW-free}
\end{equation}

In the presence of an external electromagnetic field, which enters in the Dirac Hamiltonian through the replacement $p^\mu\to \Pi^\mu=p^\mu - eA^\mu$ with $A^\mu=(\phi,\mathbf{A})$,  the FW transformation
can be ordinarily obtained through successive approximations as an expansion in powers of $1/m$~\cite{BD}.
At $O(1/m^3)$,
\begin{equation}
S(\Pi) = -i\left(\frac{\gamma^0}{2m}\right)^2 \left([\mathcal{O}^\prime,\mathcal{E}^\prime]+
                                            i \dot{\mathcal{O}}^\prime\right) ,
\end{equation}
with
\begin{eqnarray}
\mathcal{O}^\prime &= \frac{\gamma^0}{2m}[\mathcal{O},\mathcal{E}] -
                                  \frac{\mathcal{O}^3}{3m^2} +
                                  i\frac{\gamma^0 \dot{\mathcal{O}}}{2m} ,\\
\mathcal{E}^\prime &= \mathcal{E} +
                                  \gamma^0 \left( \frac{\mathcal{O}}{2m} - \frac{\mathcal{O}^4}{8m^3}\right)
                                  - \frac{1}{8m^2}[\mathcal{O},[\mathcal{O},\mathcal{E}]]
                                  - i\frac{1}{8m^2}[\mathcal{O},\dot{\mathcal{O}}] .
\end{eqnarray}
In the expressions above, the even (diagonal) and odd (off-diagonal) operators correspond to $\mathcal{E} =  e\phi$ and $\mathcal{O} = \gamma^0\boldsymbol{\gamma \cdot  \Pi} \equiv \mathbf{\tilde{\Pi}}$, respectively, and the dot represents the time derivative.
To this order, the FW transformation renders the Dirac Hamiltonian to its leading non-relativistic form.
 For an external static inhomogeneous magnetic field the series can be written in closed form as
\begin{equation}
H_{\Pi}^{FW} =\gamma^0 \sqrt{(\mathbf{\tilde{\Pi}})^2 + m^2} ,
\label{H_FW-Serie}
\end{equation}
where the transformation matrix for this case is
\begin{equation}
S(\Pi) = -i (\boldsymbol{\gamma \cdot  \Pi}) \theta ,
\end{equation}
with $\theta$ given through
\begin{equation}
\tan(2 |\mathbf{\tilde{\Pi}}| \theta) = \frac{|\mathbf{\tilde{\Pi}}|}{m} .
\end{equation}
Here, $|\mathbf{\tilde{\Pi}}| = \sqrt{(\gamma^0 \boldsymbol{\gamma \cdot  \Pi})^2}$
plays the role of the momentum $|\mathbf{p}|$ in the free case.

In this article, we exploit a formalism,  the so-called Ritus  method~\cite{Ritus:1972, Ritus:1974, Ritus:1978},  to  write the exact FW transformation for a static external
field in a closed form as well, but obtained more directly.

Ritus method is an alternative approach to deal with quantum field theory in background electromagnetic fields. It was first developed to diagonalize, in momentum space, the spin-1/2 fermion propagator in the presence of a uniform magnetic field~\cite{Ritus:1972, Ritus:1974, Ritus:1978}, and was later extended for the propagator of charged gauge bosons~\cite{cubanos:2002,cubanos:2004}. The generalization of the method for Dirac particles in non-uniform magnetic fields has recently been developed~\cite{edward}.  For a pedagogical introduction to Ritus formalism, see Ref.~\cite{GM-AR-AS-ER}.
The Ritus eigenfunctions $\mathbb{E}_p$
are the matrices that diagonalize the  operator $\left( \gamma\cdot \Pi \right)^2$,
\begin{equation}
\mathbb{E}_p^{-1}\left( \gamma\cdot \Pi \right)^2 \mathbb{E}_p = p^2,
\label{EigenvaluesEp2}
\end{equation}
and correspond to the asymptotic states of charged particles in the presence of external fields.
For Dirac fermions, the matrix form of the $\mathbb{E}_p$ functions is inherited from  their spin realization.
These, however, cannot be expressed in a closed form for a general configuration of external fields. Fortunately,  in the case of a static inhomogeneous field directed, for instance, along the $z-$axis, in the gauge $A^\mu=(0,0,W(x),0)$ such that $B(x)=\partial_x W(x) \equiv W'(x)$, $\mathbb{E}_p$ functions can be expanded over an orthogonal set of functions provided $W(x)$ belongs to the class of shape invariant potentials in the supersymmetric quantum mechanical framework~\cite{Cooper:art, Cooper}. Similar arguments apply if we consider a static inhomogeneous electric field of the form $E(x)=-\phi'(x)$ with $A^0=\phi(x)$ in the above $A^\mu$.
For these field configurations of our interest, the $\mathbb{E}_p$ form a complete set
\begin{eqnarray}
\nonumber
\int d^4z \ \overline {\mathbb {E}}_{p'}(z) \mathbb {E}_p(z) = \hat{\delta}^{(4)}(p-p')\Pi(n), \\
{\int\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\sum} \frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4} \ \mathbb {E}_{p}(z) \overline {\mathbb {E}}_p (z') = \delta^{(4)}(z-z'), \label{ortonormalidad}
\end{eqnarray}
where $z=(x_0, x_1, x_2, x_3) = (t,x,y,z)$, $ \overline {\mathbb{E}}_p = \gamma^0 \mathbb {E}_p^\dagger \gamma^0 $,
and $\Pi(n)$ is a spin projector which singles out only one spin orientation in the lowest Landau level. The symbol $\int \!\!\!\!\!\!\sum d^4p$ indicates that the integration might represent a sum, depending upon the continuous or discrete nature of the components of  the momentum $p$, and correspondingly, $\hat\delta^{(4)}$ represents a product of Kronecker and Dirac delta functions.
 Ritus functions play the same role plane-waves do in absence of external fields, namely, these serve to expand the propagator in momentum space as
\begin{equation}
S_F(z,z')= {\int\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\sum} d^3p \ d^3p' \ {\mathbb E}_p(z) S_F(p,p') \overline{\mathbb E}_{p'}(z')\;. \label{integ}
\end{equation}
Here, the propagator $S_F(p,p')$ takes the form ~\cite{Ritus:1972, Ritus:1974, Ritus:1978, GM-AR-AS-ER}
\begin{equation}
S_F(p,p')=\hat{\delta}^{(4)}(p-p')\Pi(n)\tilde{S}_F(\overline{p}),
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
\tilde{S}_F(\overline{p})=\frac{1}{\gamma\cdot \overline{p}-m},
\label{propagador_libre}
\end{equation}
and the momentum $\overline{p}$ involves the dynamical quantum numbers induced by the external field with the property $\overline{p}^2=p^2$. This vector is usually defined through the gauge invariant relation
\begin{equation}
\left( \gamma\cdot \Pi \right)\mathbb{E}_p = \mathbb{E}_p (\gamma\cdot \overline{p}), \label{gpEp}
\end{equation}
although its explicit form depends on the external field under consideration. In the $\mathbb{E}_p$ basis, the Dirac wave function is expressed as
\begin{equation}
\Psi = \mathbb{E}_p u_{\overline{p}},\label{psi}
\label{DiracSpinor}
\end{equation}
and from the property~(\ref{gpEp}), it is easy to see that $ u_{\overline{p}}$ is a free spinor labeled by the momentum $\overline{p}$. With this decomposition of $\Psi$, the information of the interactions with the external field is factorized
into the ${\mathbb E}_p$ functions and the $\overline{p}$ dependence of $u_{\overline{p}}$. This can be implemented to derive a closed form for the FW transformation.

With the decomposition of the Dirac wave function (\ref{psi}), the stationary Schr\"odinger form of the Dirac equation becomes
\begin{equation}
E_D  \mathbb{E}_p u_{\overline {p}} = \gamma^0 (\boldsymbol{\gamma \cdot  \Pi} + m)
                                                       \mathbb{E}_p u_{\overline {p}}
\label{DiracEp}
\end{equation}
which with the aid of property~(\ref{gpEp}), simplifies to
\begin{equation}
E_D \mathbb{E}_p u_{\overline {p}} =
  \mathbb{E}_p \gamma^0 (\boldsymbol{\gamma \cdot \overline{p}} + m) u_{\overline {p}} .
\label{DiracEpFree}
\end{equation}
In the above expressions $E_D$ represent the eigenenergies of the Dirac equation. Moreover, the Hamiltonian on the r.h.s. of Eq.~(\ref{DiracEpFree}) acquires a free form involving $\overline{p}$ alone. Thus, it is straightforward to convince oneself that the Ritus eigenfunctions map the FW transformation in external fields to a free transformation which depends on $\overline{p}$, namely
\begin{equation}
 e^{iS(\Pi)}\mathbb{E}_p =\mathbb{E}_p e^{iS_{\rm free}(\overline{p})} .
 \label{Main}
\end{equation}
So, the $\mathbb{E}_p$ functions not only render the fermion propagator in external fields diagonal in momentum space, with a free form involving the quantum numbers induced by the field.
These also allow to express the exact FW transformation in the presence of the fields in a free form.

For definitiveness, let us consider the case of electrons restricted to move in a plane under the influence of a static magnetic field pointing perpendicularly to their plane of motion.
This can be viewed as an effective dimensional reduction of the ordinary problem neglecting the third spatial component, along which the magnetic field is aligned and thus does not play a relevant role that affects the following discussion.

In order to fulfill the Clifford algebra $\{\gamma^\mu,\gamma^\nu\}=2g^{\mu\nu}$ in (2+1) dimensions, only  three $\gamma^\mu$-matrices are required.
The lowest dimensional representation of these matrices is $2\times 2$, and hence can be chosen to be proportional to the Pauli matrices. There are two inequivalent representations of the $\gamma^\mu$-matrices, namely
\begin{equation}
\gamma^{0} = \sigma_3, \quad
 \gamma^{1} =i\sigma_1, \quad
 \gamma^{2} = i\sigma_2 ,
\label{primera}
\end{equation}
 for which
$\gamma^\mu\gamma^\nu=g^{\mu\nu}-i\epsilon^{\mu\nu\lambda}\gamma_\lambda$;
and
\begin{equation}
\tilde{\gamma}^{0} = \sigma_3, \quad
\tilde{\gamma}^{1} = i\sigma_1, \quad
\tilde{\gamma}^{2} =-i\sigma_2 ,
\label{segunda}
\end{equation}
for which
$\tilde{\gamma}^\mu\tilde{\gamma}^\nu=g^{\mu\nu}+i\epsilon^{\mu\nu\lambda}\tilde{\gamma}_\lambda$.
In what follows, we will adopt the first representation, Eq.~(\ref{primera}), but the discussion can be straightforwardly  extended to the second representation, Eq.~(\ref{segunda}).
Moreover, the external static inhomogeneous field is specified in a Landau-like gauge through the vector potential  $A^\mu = (0,0,W(x))$, such that $B(x) = W^\prime(x)$.
In this case and recalling Eq.~(\ref{H_FW-Serie}),
$(\boldsymbol{\gamma \cdot  \Pi})^2 = \mathbf{\Pi}^2 - e \sigma_3 W^\prime(x)$~\cite{Barducci:2009}.

Let us look at the problem of finding the  FW transformation
within our approach.
To see the  usefulness of Eq.~(\ref{Main}), we
first apply the Hamiltonian in Eq.~(\ref{H_FW-Serie}) to the Ritus eigenfunctions ${\mathbb E}_p$,
\begin{equation}
H_{\Pi}^{FW}  {\mathbb E}_p = \left( \gamma^0 \sqrt{(\mathbf{\tilde{\Pi}})^2 + m^2} \right) {\mathbb E}_p ,
\label{H_FW-Ep}
\end{equation}
which has to be evaluated expanding the square-root operator in a power series of $(\mathbf{\tilde{\Pi}}/m)^2$. This procedure leads to an expression in terms of the eigenvalues $k$ of the operator $(\mathbf{\tilde{\Pi}})^2$, namely
\begin{equation}
(\mathbf{\tilde{\Pi}})^2 =-\left( \gamma\cdot \Pi \right)^2 + \Pi_{0}^{2},
\label{PiTilde2}
\end{equation}
given through
Eq.~(\ref{EigenvaluesEp2}) with $p^2 = \overline{p}^2$.
Since $p_0 = E_D$ are the eigenvalues of $\Pi_0 = i \partial_t$,
from the Dirac equation
$p_{0}^{2}  = k + m^2$, thus $\sqrt{k}$ correspond to the energy eigenvalues of a particle on-shell.
From Eq.~(\ref{PiTilde2}), $\overline{p}^2 = p_{0}^{2} - k$, which can be fulfilled with the choice of $\overline{p}^\mu = (p_0, 0 , \sqrt{k})$, in accordance to our selection of gauge.
Hence, Eq.~(\ref{H_FW-Ep}) simplifies to
\begin{equation}
H_{\Pi}^{FW}  {\mathbb E}_p = {\mathbb E}_p \left( \gamma^0 \sqrt{E_{D}^{2} + m^2} \right) .
\label{H_FW-Ep-Eigenvalues}
\end{equation}

On the other hand, notice that under the FW transformation, the Hamiltonian $H=\gamma^0 (\boldsymbol{\gamma \cdot \overline{p}} + m)$ on the r.h.s. of Eq.~(\ref{DiracEpFree}) transforms in a free form, as in Eq.~(\ref{H_FW-free}), but involving $\overline{\bf p}^2$ alone. Thus the FW transformed Hamiltonian~(\ref{DiracEpFree}) can be written directly:
\begin{equation}
H_{\rm free}^{FW}  {\mathbb E}_p =
     {\mathbb E}_p \left( \gamma^0 \sqrt{E_{D}^{2} + m^2} \right) .
\label{H_FW-Ep-Eigenvalues-Free}
\end{equation}
The r.h.s. of this last equation precisely corresponds to the r.h.s. of Eq.~(\ref{H_FW-Ep-Eigenvalues}). This last was obtained transforming the Dirac Hamiltonian of Eq.~(\ref{DiracEp}) with a magnetic filed in the {\it usual} way. As comparison, with the aid of Eq.~(\ref{DiracSpinor}), the corresponding FW transformed Hamiltonian was obtained directly from a free one, Eq.~(\ref{DiracEpFree}), given in terms of the tri-momentum $\overline{p}^\mu$ which contains all the dynamics induced by the external magnetic field.
It is then straightforward to prove the relationship between the FW transformations $S(\Pi)$ and $S_{\rm free}(\overline{p})$ established by Eq.~(\ref{Main}) in terms of the Ritus eigenfunctions $\mathbb{E}_p$.

Summarizing, we have shown that the Ritus eigenfunctions provide a direct calculation of the exact FW transformation of the Dirac Hamiltonian in presence of external static electromagnetic fields.  In the Ritus basis, the FW  transformation can be expressed  in a closed form in terms of a free one which depends on the dynamical quantities induced by the fields.

European islands defy EU's Russia sanctions
Denmark's self-governing Faroe Islands have renewed a fishing deal with Moscow
The Faroe Islands, an autonomous territory belonging to Denmark, have renewed a fishing quota deal with Russia, Faroese Fisheries Minister Arni Skaale announced on Saturday.
The Faroese parliament approved a one-year extension of the agreement by a large majority, the minister said. The deal gives the Faroese a quota to fish in Russia's Barents Sea, while in return Russian ships are granted rights fish the waters off the coast of the Faroe Islands. Russian vessels are also permitted to ship their catch out of Faroese ports.
"It is the right thing for the Faroe Islands to renew an existing agreement with Russia in which we exchange quotas," Skaale told the Danish daily Jyllands Posten.
The Faroe Islands, despite being an autonomous region of Denmark, are not part of the EU. The bilateral fishing agreement between Russia and the Faroe Islands has been in place since 1977, having been rolled over every year since its inception. However, after the start of Russia's military operation in Ukraine, there were calls from many sides, including Danish and EU officials and within the Faroese government itself, to annul the deal.
Skaale noted, however, that the government of the island nation chose to protect its economy. Fishing is the main economic activity for the archipelago, which is inhabited by some 53,000 people, and accounts for 95% of its exports. According to Skaale, the deal with Russia covers 5% of Faroese GDP and "is by far the largest agreement we have with another country regarding fisheries cooperation."
Russia became a key market for Faroese exports back in 2013, when the EU sanctioned the islands for unilaterally raising their fishing quotas. In 2014, fish exports to Russia surged further when Moscow blocked food imports from the EU, Norway, and other Western nations in response to sanctions.
Russia was reportedly the single largest buyer of Faroese exports last year, purchasing close to a quarter of all fish shipped out of the Faroes.
In defense of their decision, the Faroese authorities pointed out that food has been exempted from EU sanctions against Russia. The Faroese did impose sanctions on Russia this past May when they restricted ships registered under the Russian flag from accessing its ports. However, Russian fishing vessels were excluded from the ban.

Hario Kecik is an old soldier who refuses to fade away. At 81 years of age, he remains a fireball of creative energy. He has just published a novel and is just about to publish the third volume of his autobiography. For hobbies, he paints, sings (in six languages, including Chinese), and writes poetry. He is a natural public speaker who, with a vast repertoire of jokes and stories, can keep an audience entertained for hours. When telling stories, he frequently breaks into Javanese and raises the tone of his voice in such a way that one can not help but laugh at his expressiveness. He is like a one-man culture industry where rough East Javanese humour mixes with refined cosmopolitan learning. It is difficult to believe, given the cultural abilities of today's military officers (just listen to Gen. Wiranto's CD of his karaoke favorites!), that Hario Kecik was once a Brigadier General in the Army.
As we sit in his home on the outskirts of Jakarta, he describes the formative event of his youth: the Surabaya uprising of November 1945. It was a popular revolt against the British troops that had just arrived to secure the surrender of the Japanese. The British troops were seen, rightly as it turned out, to be the advance guard of a Dutch attempt to recolonise Indonesia. A guest in Hario's house is left in no doubt of the importance of the event for him: a massive canvas about it painted by Hario himself hangs in the front room.
One legacy of those early street fighting years is his name. His full Javanese name, Soehario Padmodiwirio, was hardly suitable as a nom de guerre. It betrayed his aristocratic ancestry. All these years, he has kept the diminutive name that his friends in the struggle gave him: Kecik, meaning small in the East Javanese dialect. Despite his short stature, even by Indonesian standards, he excelled in warfare because he was gutsy, clever, and agile.
For Hario, the formation of the Indonesian army emerged out of the spontaneous effort of the youth (pemuda) to seize the weapons of the Japanese in 1945 and resist the incoming European troops. He did not enter the army by signing up at a recruiting office: he and four friends created their own little unit. Many such units sprouted up at that time. Each group chose its own leader from among its own ranks. As these units merged and the leaders were accorded ranks, Hario was accorded the rank of Major. In Hario's experience, the national army, in its early years, was created by civilians. Its leaders emerged organically from below.
Following the departure of the Dutch troops, Hario stayed within the army and rose up through the ranks. He became the commander of the military region of East Kalimantan in 1959 and a Brigadier General in 1962. Despite the fact that he had attended two officer training courses in the United States at Fort Benning in 1958, he had a reputation for being left-wing. His experience with the 1945 revolution and with the United States attempts to sabotage Sukarno in the late 1950s had made him decidedly anti-imperialist.
At the time of Suharto's takeover of power in late 1965, Hario was in the Soviet Union. He had been sent to study at the War College there in early 1965 by the army commander Gen. Yani. Given both his left-wing reputation and his stay in the Soviet Union, he knew he would be arrested or worse if he returned to Indonesia. In exile in Moscow, he took advantage of the time by studying. He was appointed senior associate at the Academy of Sciences in Moscow.
Eventually, he decided to return to Indonesia in 1977 and face whatever awaited him there. Immediately after landing at the airport in Jakarta, he was hauled off to prison by army soldiers. He spent the next four years in a military detention jail in central Jakarta. No charges. No trial. No idea when he would be released. It was four years of waiting punctuated by the occasional interrogation in which he was respectfully referred to as 'Professor Hario'.
After years of exile and imprisonment, Hario looks upon the army that developed under Suharto as a kind of freakish mutant. He hardly recognizes it as the army that emerged out of a social revolution. The army today still sticks to the rhetoric of that time "the people and the military are one" but has completely changed the meaning. Now the army employs the old populist rhetoric to justify its civilian militias that commit crimes for which the army wants plausible deniability.
Hario notes that the officer corps graduating from the military academy since the late 1960s have not been able to understand the army's history. What they learn is how to please their superiors, make a lot of money from corruption, and advance quickly up the ranks. 'It's too easy for them to gain promotions, especially when there isn't even a war going on.' Any military, Hario believes, faces problems in peace time. Without a war or the potential for war, 'an army loses its identity.' The Indonesian army has not faced any external threat since 1965 yet it has arrogated enormous powers to itself inside the country. It has focused on policing and waging war on other Indonesians.
Hario sees the problem of corruption as an institutional one for which the high officers are primarily responsible. He mentions a story that a private told him last year. 'After returning home at night, he goes out again and works as a security guard at a warehouse. He only gets 15,000 rupiah a night. He does the work but his commander, a colonel, demands money from the industrialist. The colonel doesn't do any work but he gets much more money than the private does.' This kind of situation is ruinous for the morale of an army.
As Hario remembers, the military's corruption was not so institutionalised and routine before 1965. When he was the commander of East Kalimantan, there were many opportunities to enrich himself had he so desired. He could have taken money from the timber barons and oil companies and used his troops to serve their interests - the pattern of the army commanders today.
Since East Kalimantan was largely undeveloped and the civil government was so meager, Hario thought his troops had to be involved in economic development. But his model of development was different than that of the big private companies. As a populist, Hario had his troops help build schools and run cooperative enterprises. While commander, he wrote a book about the army's economic role in the region titled People, Land, and the Military.
The general who replaced Hario as commander of East Kalimantan in February 1965, Sumitro, later became one of Suharto's closest allies. It is interesting that Sumitro's biography begins with a description of the ceremony for the transfer of the command. In the book, Sumitro presented Hario as a leftist who thought his transfer was a sign that the army high command did not understand 'the revolution' he was leading in East Kalimantan. Hario laughs while dismissing the description as entirely fanciful.

The Houghton College online bookstore will launch this summer to support its Fall 2017 term and is projected to save students, on average, more than 30 percent on textbook costs versus what they are currently paying.
The Akademos virtual course materials store will give students and faculty complete visibility throughout the textbook purchasing and adoption process. Houghton's student information system will seamlessly integrate with the Akademos online platform, enabling students to see a personalized listing of the textbooks required for each of their courses and to order books for an entire semester rapidly and efficiently.
The new online bookstore will continue to provide students with a wide selection of course material options to choose from across new, used, marketplace, rental and eBook formats. Students will now be able to use financial aid on all purchases, including deeply discounted marketplace items.
"The Akademos peer-to-peer marketplace substantially reduces the cost of course materials for students by bringing buyers and sellers together in a transparent environment in which new and used books are bought and sold at the true market rate. It is our experience that more affordable and accessible textbooks drive bookstore utilization resulting in more prepared students and, consequently, overall institutional success," said Akademos CEO John Squires.
Akademos will also service Houghton College's faculty and administrators. The Akademos Adoption & Analytics portal allows faculty to compare real-time prices for course materials in multiple formats to choose the best, low-cost options for students. The analytics tools enable faculty and administrators to have critical control over the faculty-adoption and student-purchasing process to track progress from across the entire college to individual classes.
The Houghton College Campus Store will use the space previously dedicated to course materials to offer a wider selection of gifts, apparel, and convenience store items for the campus community.

Q: String altering in Ant Given a property:
<property name="classes" value="com.package.Class1,com.package.Class2" />

I'm trying to compile only the classes specified like:
<javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${build.dir}">
    <include name="${classes}" />
</javac>

However the 'include' tag is specifying the file names to include, not the qualified class names.
Is there a way I can create a new property/include tag that has all the classes in 'classes' in the correct format? ie.
"com.package.Class1" -> "com\\package\\Class1.java"

A: I figured it out.  After ant-contrib I can do one of these:

I am surprised by how good the 2009 Richebourg is at this stage. Swaths of tannin frame an explosive core of fruit in a Burgundy endowed with a real sense of gravitas. The radiance and ripeness of the year has filled out the wine nicely, yet the 2009 remains a quintessentially powerful, substantial wine that will last decades. Although the 2009 is many years away from peaking, it is a real joy to catch it at this early stage.
The 2009 Richebourg is a dramatic wine. In 2009 there is so much fruit that the tannins are barely perceptible. With time in the glass dark notes of tar, smoke, licorice and violets develop, adding tons of complexity to the fruit. This is a huge, vertical wine that captures the essence of Richebourg in its towering fruit and structure. Layers of fruit saturate every corner of the palate as the wine builds to a deeply satisfying crescendo of head-spinning aromas and flavors. Anticipated maturity: 2024-2059.

The Bermuda Cricket Board (BCB) is the official ICC recognised organisation chosen to represent Bermuda in terms of cricket issues. The board was set up in 1938, and became an associate member of the International Cricket Council in 1966. The Bermuda national cricket team qualified for the 2007 Cricket World Cup, the peak of Bermudian cricket.

The Headquarters of BCB are at Point Finger Road, Paget, DV 04, Bermuda.

History
The first recorded cricket match played in Bermuda was on August 30, 1844. Later, in 1845, the Bermuda Cricket Club. In 1948 the Somers Isles Cricket League merged with Bermuda Cricket Club to form Bermuda Cricket Board, which became the current BCB in 2003.

La BCB was stablished in 1938 and has been an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 1966.

Service API Patterns, Protocols, Coupling Types, Metrics > Service API Management Patterns > Service Decomposition
How can the granularity of a service be increased subsequent to its implementation?
Services may be initially designed with a coarse level of service granularity or they may become more coarse-grained over time, as functions are added in response to new requirements. However, at some point, it may become evident that the functional scope of a service has become bloated to an extent that the service is no longer performing adequately at runtime. Or, perhaps the service has become burdensome to maintain, scale or administer due to it having to serve too many different types of service consumers.
The Service Decomposition pattern is applied to decompose a coarse-grained service into a set of fine-grained services that collectively represent the functional scope and context of the original service, but establish distinct functional contexts of their own.
The coarse-grained Invoice service is decomposed into a set of fine-grained services that collectively provide the functionality of the original Invoice service.
Carrying out this pattern essentially requires that the existing, coarse-grained service be broken apart and its logic reorganized and optimized into new, finer-grained functional boundaries.
The three new fine-grained services are implemented with correspondingly narrower service APIs and individually leaner service architectures.
Unless it is decided to also retrofit previous service consumer programs that formed dependencies on the original service API, the Proxy Capability pattern will likely need to be applied to preserve the original service API for backwards compatibility purposes.
The preventative application of the Decomposed Capability pattern can ease the impact of applying the Service Decomposition pattern and will also result in a cleaner separation of functional service contexts.
This pattern is covered in Module 12: Fundamental Service API Design & Management..

Russian Olympians adapt to life in a neutral uniform
by: Ashley Shook
PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) – Nadezhda Sergeeva's bobsled training outfit says a lot about what life will be like for an "Olympic Athlete from Russia."
There is an old, anonymous black race suit with tape over several logos. Underneath, a white T-shirt with a simple message – "I Don't Do Doping."
As punishment for doping offenses at the 2014 Sochi Games, the International Olympic Committee has forced Russian athletes competing in Pyeongchang to do so as OARs in neutral uniforms and with no national insignia.
Sergeeva told The Associated Press that she isn't training with her doping-themed shirt as a protest, but because her usual Russia uniform would break the new IOC rules. Wearing the shirt – sold by a popular Russian sportswear brand – is just a way to keep warm, she said.
"There just wasn't enough time (to get a neutral uniform)," Sergeeva said at Wednesday's training session. "To start with, we had a lot of equipment intended for us with the flag, a really big assortment, but we weren't issued it."
For Friday's opening ceremony, Russia will march under the Olympic flag in red and gray tracksuits with an "Olympic Athlete from Russia" emblem.
To get to the Olympics, Sergeeva had to pass an IOC vetting process, with athletes' names checked against data of possible past Russian drug use and cover-ups. Dozens of Russians weren't invited by the IOC, including some top bobsledders, but Sergeeva said athletes from the United States and Canada have warmed to her because she was approved.
"I don't know why, but they've started talking to us more than ever before. I feel it. Maybe it's a sign to them that we're clean," she said. "There's a lot of people coming up and saying 'we're happy you're here.'"
As a result of the IOC ruling, a 168-person not quite-Russian team, still one of the biggest in Pyeongchang, will wear hastily redesigned or repurposed uniforms. When the IOC decision came in December, it was too late to make new team bags for everyone, so many have traveled with electrical tape over the word "Russia" on their luggage.
Russian athletes have flown to South Korea in small groups, not the traditional "Olympic flight" on Aeroflot which usually sees teams depart as a unit and with much pageantry. Most national teams have a flag-raising ceremony when they arrive at the Olympic Village. None is scheduled for Russia because officially it isn't competing.
The only Russians to turn up with some swagger are the men's hockey team, the favorite for gold since the NHL is not participating.
The hockey players were greeted at the airport Tuesday by crowd of about 50 Russians and South Koreans waving flags and singing patriotic songs. A week earlier, the players attended a reception for athletes with President Vladimir Putin, the only OARs there wearing Russian uniforms instead of the IOC-approved neutral tracksuits in red and gray.
They then handed Putin a signed jersey emblazoned with the slogan "Russia is in my heart." But in Pyeongchang, patriotic displays could land Russian athletes in trouble.
The IOC ruling bans them from defiant statements on social media, or flying the flag in the Olympic Village. Maxim Andrianov, another Russian bobsledder, said he doesn't even have a flag inside his room "in case it's visible from outside."
If Russian athletes win gold, they can't celebrate by taking a Russian flag from a fan. On the podium, they'll stand under the Olympic flag as the Olympic anthem plays.
Breaking the rules could mean the IOC scraps its plan for Russia to march under its own flag at the closing ceremony on Feb. 25 – a symbolic return to the Olympic movement after nearly three months.
Officially, the Russian Olympic Committee is suspended and the OARs are just a collection of individual athletes invited by the IOC. In practice, they're one of the biggest teams in Pyeongchang, with an ROC vice president as team leader and a fully staffed media office. IOC deputy director general Pere Miro said Tuesday running a team of this size "cannot be done without full cooperation of the Russian Olympic Committee."
The team of 168 could swell yet further.
Forty-five Russian athletes refused invites by the IOC have launched a late barrage of appeals to sports arbiters and Swiss courts. The IOC argues it has new evidence which casts doubt on their claims to be clean – even in the cases of athletes whose bans for doping in Sochi were overturned – but hasn't revealed any details of individual cases.
Successful appeals would be a blow to the IOC, which would have to accept athletes it deems suspicious. They could even result in other Russians being sent home. When top Russians in sports like figure skating and hockey were refused, others took their places on the team, and could lose out if the first choices are reinstated.
Besides a few Russian fans making the journey to South Korea, another group is waiting for the OARs – the drug testers.
"It's just the height of rudeness," women's hockey coach Alexei Chistyakov told Russian state TV on Monday after drug testers interrupted his team's first training session in Pyeongchang. "They're ruining everything for us."
For Sergeeva, there's a silver lining to her neutral uniform. She hopes it finally marks the end of what she sees as a years-long plot by Russia's foes.
"It has to end some time," she said. "Maybe it was done specially for this Olympics, and then they will calm down."

La chiesa di Sant'Ilario è un luogo di culto cattolico dalle forme neoclassiche, situato in via Sant'Ilario a Viazzano, frazione di Varano de' Melegari, in provincia e diocesi di Parma; fa parte della zona pastorale di Berceto-Fornovo-Medesano.

Storia
Il luogo di culto fu originariamente costruito in epoca medievale; la più antica testimonianza della sua esistenza risale al 1230, quando la cappella fu citata nel Capitulum seu Rotulus Decimarum della diocesi di Parma tra le dipendenze della pieve di Fornovo.

Nel 1494 fu menzionata per la prima volta la dedicazione della chiesa a sant'Ilario.

Tra il XVIII e il XIX secolo l'edificio fu ristrutturato e ampliato, allungando la navata.

Intorno alla metà del XX secolo il tempio fu sottoposto a interventi di restauro.

Nel 1965 fu edificata in continuità con la chiesa sul lato sinistro la casa della gioventù; i lavori comportarono la modifica del fianco nord dell'edificio, cui fu addossato un porticato.

Descrizione

La chiesa si sviluppa su un impianto a navata unica affiancata da una cappella sul lato destro, con ingresso a ovest e presbiterio a est.

La semplice e asimmetrica facciata a capanna, quasi completamente intonacata, è caratterizzata dalla presenza dell'ampio portale d'ingresso lievemente decentrato, delimitato da una cornice in pietra e sormontato da un architrave in aggetto; più in alto si apre una piccola bifora ad arco a tutto sesto, scandita da un pilastrino centrale; in sommità si eleva il frontone triangolare in laterizio di coronamento.

Sulla destra si erge su quattro ordini, separati da fasce marcapiano e ornati con specchiature rettangolari, l'alto e massiccio campanile in mattoni; la cella campanaria si affaccia sulle quattro fronti attraverso grandi monofore ad arco a tutto sesto; a coronamento si eleva nel mezzo, oltre il cornicione modanato in aggetto, un'aguzza guglia piramidale in rame, tra quattro piccoli pinnacoli posti sugli spigoli.

Dal lato sinistro intonacato aggetta un porticato ad arcate a sesto ribassato, rette da pilastri in mattoni, aggiunto nel 1965.

All'interno la spoglia navata, coperta da un soffitto piano retto da travi lignee, è affiancata sulla destra dall'ampia arcata a tutto sesto della cappella laterale, chiusa superiormente da una volta a botte; di fronte, è presente la simmetrica arcata di una nicchia poco profonda.

Il presbiterio, lievemente sopraelevato, è preceduto dall'arco trionfale a tutto sesto, delimitato da una cornice in laterizio; l'ambiente, coperto da una volta a botte, ospita l'altare maggiore ligneo a mensa del 1970 circa, decorato anteriormente con un altorilievo raffigurante la Cena in Emmaus; sul fondo si staglia all'interno di un'ancona barocca la pala rappresentante la Vergine tra i santi Ilario e Antonio abate, realizzata nei primi anni del XVII secolo da un ignoto pittore cremonese.

La chiesa accoglie un altro dipinto di pregio, raffigurante Il Crocefisso tra i santi Gerolamo, Teresa d'Avila e Giuseppe, eseguito nel 1670 da pittore ignoto; nella sagrestia è inoltre conservato un armadio ligneo seicentesco.

Tell the military no to bombing
By Gail Norita
Tag: CNMI, military, Pagan Island, people
While it is understood that people are preoccupied with recovering from the typhoon, it is very important to know that the military is marching forward in its plans to bomb Pagan and conduct live-firing on Tinian. If you want to preserve the beauty of where you live, you need to make your voice heard before the deadline, which is Oct. 1. The military's plan, which they have admitted to, includes destroying more than 180 historic and cultural sites on the island of Tinian alone (including numerous latte sites), destroying a wildlife conservation area set aside for the Tinian monarch, a rare bird species found nowhere else in the world. They plan to bomb the island of Pagan for "practice." Many scientific studies were done to see what insects, plants, birds, mammals, lizards, etc. exist on these islands because they are required to show what would be affected by their blowing up the land for their training exercises. This information is online and you can read it at: http://www.cnmijointmilitarytrainingeis.com/documents.
Some of the plants and animals are listed or proposed for listing as threatened or endangered either by the federal government or the CNMI government. Others are culturally important and unique to the Mariana islands, and still others are of particular concern. Some of these include the hawksbill turtle, green turtle, Mariana common moorhen, Mariana Islands tree snail, Micronesian gecko, Mariana skink, Micronesian megapode, Tinian monarch, Mariana fruit bat, two different corals: Acropora globiceps and Pavona diffluens, fish include the humphead and Napolean wrasse, mammals include the bottlenosed dolphin, spinner dolphin, sperm whale, sei whales, humpback whales, Minke whale, melon-headed whales, pantropical spotted dolphin, Blainvilles beaked whale, Cuviers beaked whale, scalloped hammerhead shark and the grey reef shark.
While doing these studies to see what would be affected by the bombing and live-fire, the scientists found creatures, insects and other living things they did not even know existed on these islands. For instance, no millipedes had previously been recorded on Pagan. Two species previously unknown were found for the first time. It is not known for sure all that actually exist on Tinian and Pagan as well as in the waters surrounding. This live-fire and bombing will cause irreversible damage to these islands and to all life that lives there. The bombing and live-fire will also damage and destroy known archaeological sites that encompass the breadth of Tinian history, historic landmarks, and culturally important areas, including "traditional cultural properties." Pagan Island is the largest and most complex biologically and geographically among the northern islands of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. This is a disaster for a tourist-based economy and for the people who call these islands home. Don't let the military take this beauty away from you, your children and your children's children. Speak up and protect your future, your environment and all creatures that can't speak up for themselves.

In the early days of Anglicans Online it carried a section called "Hot Issues" that tried to stay current with links to both sides of issues that people were arguing about. Beginning some time in 1998, we folded this into the News Centre and now we run issues along with news. This is the archive of what was in the Hot Issues section when we retired it. There is a certain Pompeii quality to this material.
Schism in the Church of England?
Will There be a Future Church Without Youth?
The front-page story began: 'Rebel Anglican bishops are planning to break away from the Church of England and set up their own independent church. In what would be the most serious split since the Methodist movement broke away 200 years ago, traditionalist bishops are intending to lead more than 1,000 parishes out of the state church. Their proposals, which will be outlined fully by Christmas, could weaken the church's established status and provoke a financial crisis'.

Gay Clergy Respond to Anglican Bishops' Statement on Homosexuality: An article in Greenbelt Interfaith News (March 1998) by Heather Elizabeth Peterson.
'It was a Catch-22 situation: Gay clergy are the ones most affected by the recent statement of the bishops of the Anglican Church of Canada reiterating that practicing homosexuals may not be ordained. But because of what the bishops said, many gay clergy could not speak publicly on the matter. Now a solution has been found'.
Archbishop George Carey and Bishop John Spong - November 1997 The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Newark exchanged public letters on the issue of homosexuality and the role the issue may play at the Lambeth conference in summer 1998.

With the approaching Millennium as a backdrop, the news media will inevitably get caught up in reporting on various interpretations of the Bible's apocalyptic passages, and it is likely that prognosticators of all stripes will put forth a variety of theories on the future of the world. Thus, it seems to be an appropriate time to introduce the topic of alternative forms of spiritual experience that are gaining in popularity throughout the world. Here are a few. Please let us know of others.
Ever wish you could help the world to sing in perfect harmony? Here's your chance.

Sunday April 6th, 1997--exactly one thousand days before January 1st, 2000. And on that day, the Churches of England asked everyone in the land to observe a "Millennium Moment" -- keep silence for a minute, light a candle, and say a prayer. And that was just the beginning! The English Churches suggest doing more to prepare for the new century and to ensure there is "a Christian resonance to the civic plans" that inevitably will include all-night parties and fireworks on December 31, 1999. The web site offers a place for Christians throughout the world to share their millennium plans.

The Alpha course is a ten-week practical introduction to the Christian faith. Designed primarily for non-churchgoers and those who have recently become Christians, it is popular in the United Kingdom and throughout Europe but it is relatively new in the United States where it has its share of detractors. Alpha's proponents find it a simple and effective way of presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ in a clear and non-threatening manner to people from all walks of life.
For many people the name "Taizé" evokes a certain style of singing that has become popular in more and more churches, retreat centers, campus parishes and even seminaries. For some, the word also suggests gatherings which attract large numbers of young adults. Still others are aware that Taizé is, in fact, an ecumenical community of about 100 brothers located in a small village in eastern France. Tens of thousands of people, mainly between the ages of 17 and 30, come each year to spend a week returning to the roots of the Christian faith. Pope John Paul II visited Taizé in 1986, and in 1992, Dr. George Carey, the Archbishop of Canterbury, spent a week here with 1,000 young Anglicans from all the dioceses in England. Since then, other church leaders have followed his example in coming to Taizé with their young people. The web site includes a daily Bible verse, a meditation and audio samples of the music from Taizé.
According to Dr. Lauren Artress, founder of the Labyrinth Project at Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, "We are coming into the center of our spiritual hunger as we face the year 2000. Our social structures are changing.You can see it in every institution in our society. This is frightening people. That is why we see an increase in violence. Mainline churches have favored teaching religious content while neglecting spiritual processes and it is spiritual processes that help us deepen our spiritual journeys." She contends that people need to know how to quiet the mind, how to meditate and pray and sees the labyrinth as "a perfect spiritual tool for helping our global community to order chaos....You walk to the center of the labyrinth and there, you meet the Divine."
