They have been closely guarded for more than 30 years, but guidelines on how to deal with divine apparitions of the Virgin Mary and "supernatural phenomena" have now been released by the Vatican.
Nick Squires
The "norms" on how the Roman Catholic Church should deal with mystical apparitions were initially drawn up in Latin in 1978 under Pope Paul VI and were intended for strictly internal use.
They shed light on the sorts of apparitions which have inspired the establishment of shrines such as those at Lourdes in France and Fatima in Portugal, which attract millions of pilgrims a year, many in search of cures for illnesses or other "miracles".
The guidelines are intended to help bishops "in their difficult task of discerning presumed apparitions, revelations, messages or, more generally, extraordinary phenomena of presumed supernatural origin," Cardinal William Levada, the American prefect of the CDF, wrote in a preface.
Deciding whether a spiritual revelation is genuine or not is based on its "orientation to Christ Himself," Cardinal Levada wrote. "If it leads us away from Him, then it certainly does not come from the Holy Spirit." Determining whether a spiritual revelation is authentic or not is the responsibility of the local bishop, the Vatican said.
He is required to set up a special panel of theologians, psychologists and doctors to judge the "psychological equilibrium and rectitude of moral life" of the person or people reporting the apparition and whether it corresponds with Church doctrine.
The bishop should try to "discern quickly" the authenticity of an apparition, although his judgment could be impeded by "critical scientific investigation", the Vatican said.
A revelation would be dismissed if there was evidence that the person who had witnessed it was mentally unsound, whether the vision was the product of "collective hysteria" or if there was a suspicion that the whole thing was a fraud concocted for profit.
If the bishop cannot make a decision, the judgment can ultimately be referred to the Pope himself.
The Vatican decided to make the guidelines public, and to translate them into five languages, including English, because elements had leaked out into the public domain over the years.
They have been published by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), the powerful Vatican department which was headed by Benedict before he was elected Pope in 2005.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is currently investigating claims that a group of six Catholic children began to see apparitions of the Virgin Mary in the town of Medjugorje in Bosnia-Herzegovina, starting in 1981.
The apparition claims have been judged groundless by a local bishop, but that has not stopped an estimated 30 million believers from visiting the pilgrimage site.
Lourdes, in the foothills of the Pyrenees, became a shrine after apparitions of the Virgin Mary were witnessed by a shepherd girl, Bernadette Soubirous, in 1858.
The publication of the guidelines may provide temporary distraction from one of the worst crises of Benedict XVI's seven-year papacy – the leaking of confidential documents and the arrest of his personal butler, amid claims of vicious faction fighting within the Holy See.

Savour the drama and romance of the Cornish coast
Six-night cruise from £819 on Saga Sapphire
The BBC's new adaptation, set in the days when Cornwall's mining industry was thriving, stars Aidan Turner, who plays smouldering hero Ross Poldark. When Saga Sapphire sails into Falmouth, passengers can visit the sites that gave Winston Graham inspiration for his stories about the tin-mining Poldark dynasty, as well as seeing locations featured in the new series.
The first stop on Saga's Picturesque Poldark tour is Portreath, a small harbour town on the north Cornish coast which has a pretty, sandy beach. It was once a busy port, importing coal and exporting copper; the old loading ramp can still be seen.
Next is St Agnes Beacon, where guests can imagine Ross Poldark galloping across the cliffs on his horse, and a little further along St Agnes Head doubles as Nampara Valley, part of the Poldark family estate.
On the cliffs, visitors can see the Wheal Coates engine house overlooking Chapel Porth beach, while in the village of St Agnes the quirky terraced row of Stippy Stappy cottages, which feature in all Poldark novels, lead down to the beach.
The final stop is Perranporth, where Winston Graham lived from the age of 17. His books were heavily influenced by this small town and its inhabitants. Guests can stroll along the beach and view the stone bench on the dunes that serves as his memorial.
Saga Sapphire's 2018 Easter Getaway cruise continues to St Peter Port in Guernsey and Bremen, in Germany, with a visit to the Meyer Werft shipyard where Saga's first ever new build cruise ship is being built.

Could homeschooling be the right choice for your family?
According the the National Center for Education Statistics, children who are homeschooled have seen a 50% rise between the years 2003-2012, and it makes up 3.4% of children between the ages of five and seventeen in the United States. The Center believes that it could be higher if it weren't for the stereotypes associated with homeschooling.
An increase in parents are discovering that they can earn a good income while personally educating their children.
Vanderkam states that parents who balance career and homeschooling embrace several concepts. She says they acknowledge that working parents must have some sort of childcare in place, as do parents who choose to work from home. Traditional schools offer this function to some families, but Vanderkam states that they can be "unblundled". Parents can work full time (40 hours) at home, homeschool for 20 hours, get a full night's rest, and have plenty of time for other activities.
Vanderkam also dispels the myth that homeschooling takes up the entire day leaving little time for work. In a regular school day, the 9:00-3:30 time slot includes lunch breaks, transitions to classrooms, classroom management/participation, recess, etc. She claims that individual attention is more efficient. Twenty hours a week matches the school's schedule, and most schools operate nine (or ten, depending on where you are) months of the year.
She says that most homeschooling families teach their children between 7:30am until noon or 1:00pm. This includes reading time.
Homeschooling has always carried the misconception that children are stuck at home all day behind stacks of books, however this is far from the truth. Many children are engaged in co-ops and other homeschool programs. Many of these children are engaged in sports, college classes, and trading teaching time with other homeschool parents are also commonplace. All of these opportunities allow parents to keep careers going.
Also, homeschooling can take place at any time during the day- it does not have to mimic traditional school hours or duration.
There are many parents who are passionate about their careers and providing their children the best education possible. Many of them decide to give it a try once they figure out what it could look like for them.
Homeschooling may not be for everyone. Outside of the traditional rationale of why many parents choose not to homeschool, it does require that the parent have patience, the personality, and the aptitude to teach their children. Some people may have high expectations, and while it is not necessarily a bad thing, some may push their children too hard causing them to become frustrated and dislike the entire education process. It does take time for a child to learn, and patience to teach them.
Also, the parent needs to be able to teach and communicate effectively to their child. Some people may understand a concept, but may not be able to teach it effectively so that it is understood on the child's level.
May be, admittedly, somewhat biased on the subject, as I homeschool my children. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to work from home, and I have the luxury of directly teaching my boys.
I begin my day before my children are up- which is at 7:00, and I begin with spending time in scripture and with the Lord. God always comes first in our household, and we lead by example. After time with God, I begin my work day with answering email, planning out my day, and posts on the website. I will also communicate to other members of my team in their various areas ie. Let's maybe book this interview, these are the features, we need these reviews covered, etc.
While I am working (and I choose to work first thing in the morning because the house is quiet), my children are busy with their chore chart. Each of them has specific chores they must complete before breakfast, and before we proceed with the day, all of their chores must pass "inspection" by either myself or my husband.
After breakfast, homeschool begins with my twins, and lasts for a few hours. They are taught core subjects such as Bible, Math, Language Arts, Science, and History/Geography. They have projects and reading to do as well, as we do monthly book reports. Then, I spend a couple of hours teaching my oldest. My twins have actual books to do, however, my oldest has his curriculum on the computer.
As he gets older, he is able to teach himself math, and answer some of the questions at the end of each lesson. This allows me to focus on his younger brothers. All of them will have the benefit of independent learning which will be an asset as they grow older, and they are independent thinkers. We want our children to understand what they read, and why we believe what we believe. We are raising them up to understand their faith, and be able to defend it. We have discussions on various subjects, and they are required to give everything taught thought: why do you believe what you believe, what are both sides of the discussion, and what is your conclusion? I don't want my children to repeat what I say, because they will never learn to think for themselves, nor will they be able to come to their own conclusions. They need to be discipled, and equipped.
Our homeschool only lasts for 3-4 hours per day. From 2:00-5:30, I am back in my office working. The children are required to spend 1/2 hour reading, 1/2 outdoors when the weather is not too extreme, and they must finish their homework which consists of spelling and/or project reports.
We also have our children enrolled in extracurricular activities with allow for socialization, and physical activity. Anyone who knows our children can see they are very well-adjusted, articulate, and social. They are not shy or withdrawn, and they have a very strong work-ethic.
I have seen first-hand the benefits of homeschooling my boys, however, I recognize that it's not for everyone. We made this decision because we felt that it was in our children's best interest. It isn't always easy, but for our family it is the right thing to do.
If you want to homeschool, but have reservations, this article may assist you in your decision. However, the decision to homeschool is ultimately an individual one, and depends on what is best for each family as there are many variables involved. While it is not for everyone, those who choose this method will discover there are many rewards to it.


In this paper we present a self-learning speech controlled system comprising speech recognition, speaker identification and speaker adaptation for a small number of users, e.g. five recurring speakers. A compact representation of speech and speaker characteristics is discussed. It is combined with a technique for efficient information retrieval to capture individual speech characteristics allowing robust speaker identification with limited training data. Speech recognition is enhanced by applying speaker specific profiles which are incrementally adapted. However, the computational load and memory consumption are essential design parameters for an embedded system. Such a personalization of human-computer interfaces represents an important research issue. In this paper in-car applications such as speech controlled navigation, hands-free telephony or infotainment systems are investigated. Results for a subset of the SPEECON database are presented. They validate the benefit of the unified modeling of speech and speaker characteristics.

It was a hard fought win for Arsenal, where Cardiff came back twice from behind, scoring two of their only shots on target.
Petr cech's struggle to adapt to the playing out of the back style of Emery is glaring for all to see, case in point, a misplaced pass to a Cardiff player when he actually wanted to make a simple straight pass to his center back.
This is not the first time this has happened, and Petr Cech is surely not making a case for himself to continue to be Arsenal's No.1.
Lacazette should start alongside Aubameyang.
Alexandre lacazette has been involved in 10 goals (8 golas, 2 assists) in his last nine starts for Arsenal.
This particular stat shows why he should always start alongside Aubameyang who was grateful for his back flick and curled in a fantastic strike. Lacazette was impressive all through and scored an absolute belter himself.
Gareth bale is showing that he is capable of stepping up and he already appears to be liberated and to have an increased sense of importance in the side.
Most importantly, though, for Bale is that to this point he has not suffered with the injuries that have too often plagued his time in the Spanish capital.
Karim Benzema is also showing he too can step up, scoring four goals already in 3 games (his best ever start in la liga), one goal less than the 5 he scored the whole of last season.
Both men would be integral for Madrid in challenging eternal rivals Barcelona for the La liga.
Tottenham have yet to land a trophy in the four years since Pochettino took charge — even though they are regarded as one of the best teams in England and Europe.
If Tottenham ever want to win the Premier league, they should not treat us to the kind of game they had against Watford.
Mauricio Pochettino was right in his assessment when he said the players should wake or just forget about the title.

Q: Update Angular 11 : "no such file" on library's css file I use ngx-datatable library.
I've imported css files like :
@import "~@swimlane/ngx-datatable/index.css";
@import "~@swimlane/ngx-datatable/themes/material.css";
@import '~@swimlane/ngx-datatable/assets/icons.css';

After angular 11 update, I got following error, for every 3 files :

ERROR: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open
'C:\Users...\src\tables\component\table-list~@swimlane\ngx-datatable\assets\icons.css'

For both index and material I've switched on .scss file and I do no have error anymore, but there's no icons.scss file.
Any tips?
Thx

A: I would probably use the angular.json approach better for that.
So, in your angular.json file under "architect" > "build" > "styles" array added them like this:
"styles": [
          "src/styles.scss",
          {
            "inject":true,
            "input": "./node_modules/swimlane/ngx-datatable/index.css",
            "bundleName": "ngx-datatable-index"
          },
          {
            "inject":true,
            "input": "./node_modules/swimlane/ngx-datatable/themes/material.css",
            "bundleName": "ngx-datatable-material"
          },
          {
            "inject":true,
            "input": "./node_modules/swimlane/ngx-datatable/assets/icons.css",
            "bundleName": "ngx-datatable--icons"

Wolves in eastern Oregon will continue to be managed by state wildlife officials after the Oregon Court of Appeals dismissed a lawsuit that tried to reinstate endangered species protections. Last week, the lawsuit, which was filed by Cascadia Wildlands, Oregon Wild and the Center for Biological Diversity, was dismissed by the Oregon Court of Appeals after the court found the petitioners complaint "moot," the Capital Press reports.
In 2015, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) lifted endangered species protections for gray wolves and removed them from the state endangered species list. In 2016, lawmakers passed House Bill 4040 (HB4040), which approved and supported ODFW's decision. However, once passed, the three environmental groups sued, saying that the decision to removed the wolves "was premature and not based on sound science," according to the Capital Press.
While initially dismissed, the case later appeared before the appeals court. However, judges ruled to toss out the complaint. "In this case, the legislature has ratified the delisting, thereby providing the delisting with the statutory effect of removing it from a rule challenge," the court wrote in its dismissal. "Consequently, a decision on our part regarding the petitioners' challenge would have no practical effect, and the petition is therefore moot."
The court's dismissal received support from ranchers and farmers, including the Oregon Cattlemen's Association and the Oregon Farm Bureau that said in a statement that "the ruling 'is a huge win for ranch families and the livestock industry, which have long advocated for responsible wolf management in Oregon.'"
Yet, those who were filed the suit are unhappy with the outcome. According to Nick Cady, legal director of Cascadia Wildlands, "the appeals court did not evaluate whether delisting wolves was scientifically defensible." Instead, the court threw out the complaint based upon the passage of HB 4040.
"That was the main grounds of the case," said Cady. "We're really disappointed that Oregon's Democratic supermajority is what threw Oregon's wolves under the bus."
Wolves remain federally protected in western Oregon.

This ruling does nothing to change wolf management in OR. All it does is retain the current delisted status east of 395. ODFW is still bound by the terms of their wolf management plan.

Delisting Wolves from the endangered species list is exactly what these special interest groups are paying for. All of the Government Departments intended to protect the wildlife of this country are useless. Dirty as the day is long. They all need to be fired every last one.

But Will He Obsess Over Sadie
Prosecution veteran returns to serve
Stephen Kay retired after years of
murder trials, including the prosecution
of Charles Manson, but now he's coming
out of retirement to handle municipal misdemeanors.
By Denise Nix Staff writer Daily Breeze
He was a key prosecutor in the Charles Manson family murder trials.
He sent Lawrence Bittaker, arguably the South Bay's
cruelest and most heinous rapist and killer, to death row.
He gained fame while handling the trial against
photographer Charles Rathbun, who murdered model
Linda Sobek.
And now? Stephen Kay is coming out of retirement to
do battle with alleged drunken drivers, people accused
of domestic violence and taggers. As Redondo Beach's
new city prosecutor, Kay will be working misdemeanors
exclusively.
On Tuesday, for example, he returns to the Torrance
Courthouse to prosecute a man accused of fraudulently
using a state Assembly badge.
"The last misdemeanor I tried was in 1968," Kay, 63,
said with a laugh. "I have a lot to catch up on."
A mixture of personal tragedy and fate brought Kay, a
longtime South Bay resident, out of nearly two years of
retirement.
First, his 34-year-old son, also an attorney, died suddenly
of a heart attack.
"I think I just needed to get out of the house and get a job
and get my mind off of what happened," Kay said.
Then he ran into a longtime friend, Redondo Beach City Attorney
Mike Webb, in a jewelry store just after Christmas.
The two got to chatting about Alan Honeycutt, the last city
prosecutor, who was recently appointed to the bench, leaving
a vacancy in Webb's office.
"I said, 'Mike, if there's any way I can help you, don't
hesitate to ask,' " Kay said Webb's response: "Really?"
A week later, Webb called, and Kay was on his way back
to work.
He's made a one-year commitment to the job, and then
he and Webb will re-evaluate.
In retirement, Kay has traveled to Russia, Alaska and
New England. He kept busy helping one of his daughters
with her new boutique.
Kay retired in March 2005 after 38 years with the
District Attorney's Office, where he served as head
deputy twice for the Torrance office, as well as the
Long Beach and Compton branches. He was also head
deputy of the Brady Compliance Division two times,
and helped establish a program in which prosecutors
attend parole hearings for perpetrators of major
crimes serving indeterminate life sentences.
When he thought about returning to law, he knew
that, generally, the only place a former prosecutor
can go is the other side.
"I was in a position that I didn't want to be a criminal
defense attorney," Kay said. "I have respect for criminal
defense attorneys and they're an important part of the
system, but it's not for me.
"I don't want to use my talent to try to get a guilty
person off," Kay said.
Defense attorneys that know, or know of, Kay are
not threatened by his experience or reputation; on
the contrary, they welcome a prosecutor widely
perceived as fair and knowledgeable.
"Unfortunately, he'll be a tough adversary in court,"
said Andrew Thorpe, head of the Public Defender's
Office in Torrance. "However, I'm hoping he will
look at misdemeanors in a more favorable
light."
Deputy Public Defender Richard Ewell has practiced criminal defense for less than a year, but said he is not intimidated by his formidable veteran opponent.
"Sure, he has lots of experience. But when's the last time he's tried a case?" Ewell said.
Like Thorpe, Ewell hoped that Kay's experience
on serious cases will give him better perspective
on the petty crimes he will now be handling.
"I hope that, as a prosecutor, he can do something
to reform a little bit of the heavy-handedness that
Redondo Beach prosecutors have had up to this
point," said Ewell, who also represents defendants
charged with misdemeanors for crimes in other
South Bay cities.
Redondo Beach criminal defense attorney
Ryan Okabe has worked for Kay and said he is
happy to see him return.
"The good thing about Steve is he is really firm,
but he's fair, and he knows how to evaluate a case,"
Okabe said. "And if the facts warrant it, he's able to
work with the attorneys."
Webb said his office and the citizens of Redondo
Beach are fortunate to have Kay as their chief prosecutor.
"The residents of Redondo Beach have consistently
said that their top priority is public safety,"
Webb said. "Getting such a top legal talent to be a part
of our office will really help further meet that priority."

I see Stephen Kay still thinks all the accused are guilty.Is he related to Nancy Grace? Ha Ha.
angeLos said...
Are you thinking about Charlie ? zoomjaw
Charles Manson did not kill anybody...right ? He is guilty of nothing because he did'nt kill nobody, ...right ?
Well any way, I would like to express my sincere sympathy and condolence to Stephen Kay and his family for the loss of his beloved son.
Angelos,
I was refering to Kay's comment "I don't want to use my talent to get someone guilty off".He still thinks like many prosecutors that indictment and guilt are the same.
I too am sorry for the loss of his son.
I can't imagine loseing a child.Perhaps Charlie really does have powers?.
jempud said...
deadwoodhbo dice: I can't imagine loseing a child.Perhaps Charlie really does have powers?.
I get the feeling that to succumb to Charlie's powers you had to meet certain conditions:
a) be (or have been) physically in his presence with the likelihood of continuing to be so
b) be any combination of: young, lost, impressionable, stoned, eager to please, etc.
Not sure to what extent Kay meets this brief, but as he was a qualified lawyer I'd guess he was too well balanced for Charlie to have (had) much effect on him.
Unless you want to go down the psychic ESP road, deadwoohbo?
Jempud good debate However each and everyone of us either like's charlie or dislike's charlie.I am one of those young, lost, impressionable, stoned, eager to please people.now i shall go for a walk singing rain drops are falling on my head la la la.
deadwoodhbo dice...
each and everyone of us either like's charlie or dislike's charlie.
I spent autumn 1969 thru Summer 1970 in Mexico, studying at the UNAM, and didn't get back to California until late 1970. I remember hearing about the Manson-TBL events at the time, but things didn't make much sense then - and make even less now.
As I get older I have tried to teach myself not to be judgmental, especially when I don't have access to the facts of a case. Most of what I know about Manson-TBL is theory and speculation, some educated guesswork and some pure fantasy. Primary sources have contradicted themselves so often that what they say has little value.
In fact I think very few can have really got to know Manson at all, if he is knowable. I say that because he has always been different things to different people at different times. I am also convinced that he has long been more or less insane - witness his incomprehensible rants and writings over the years.
So, please put me down as one who neither likes nor dislikes Charlie, but maintains a detached interest in him and his doings, and a faint hope that more light will one day be shed on these.
Hope you enjoyed the walk and that many more follow ..
Jem your reply was AWESOME!sorry i took the offensive manner i did.
I certainly didn't think of it as offensive - don't worry! It's just that It's not very often I take a strong stand on things unless i really feel confident about them.
Did you get wet (with the raindrops ..)?
Thanks Jem and yes i did get a little snow.take care:P
Charlie probably respects Stephen Kay, and I agree that to succumb to his powers you had to meet certain conditions...
here is my prediction ................... o_0
Charles Manson, 72, before his death, will apologize to Krenwinkel and Co and to the family of the victims, he will state , that even thought he did not have a fair trial, he takes full responsability for the events in the summer of 1969 and state that he is abhorrently tired to lay allways the faults on others and that he is nauseatingly fed up with all those lies...
Yes..., he wanted STP and LLB been killed for extremely selfish reasons... jealousy... point (he met them both before and they were "rude" to him, Hatami etc...).
He new after GH had been killed that the game was over and he would return in prison...so ...better go there again feared by everybody and world known than as nobody.
Charlie prepared his plan well in advance and his plan had nothing to do with Helter Skelter, but to be finally, himself , exceedingly selfishly , be just noticed in this world.

IF SHARON TATE AND JAY SEBRING HAD NOT BEEN CELEBRITIES, THEN C M MANSON WOULD BE FREE TODAY. He did not shoot or stab anyone on those 2 nights. He's been locked up for years for being an ACCESSORY to murder? That's unheard of. This was probably the first case ever in the good old USA that the MEDIA sent someone to jail. If there would have been no celebrities in that house, then you assholes wouldn't even know who Mr. Manson is. Now, don't get me wrong: WATSON, ATKINS, KRENWINKLE, AND VAN HOUTEN SHOULD NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN. But damnit, Charles Manson didn't kill anyone that weekend. That's a fact, piggies. WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, WE GOT FUN AND GAMES.
a post from long ago, renewed*
Yes, right, and if my aunt had ***** she would be my uncle right ? and if General Augusto Pinochet or General Saddam Hussein ..., yes, you are right salem , they too did not kill anybody (probably), but they both sure let the "dirty work" done by others...damnit...how %&(=?*"+& smart some dudes are damnit
Salem dice IF SHARON TATE AND JAY SEBRING HAD NOT BEEN CELEBRITIES, THEN C M MANSON WOULD BE FREE TODAY
All this 'what if' -ing is purely speculative but your defence of CM is a little disingenuous. CM was hardly a paragon of virtue and was doomed to be caught sooner or later, if not for the TLB murders then for something else. His activities in Death Valley were increasingly attracting the attention of the authorities. By many accounts he was becoming irrational in those final days at Barker (paranoid, aggressive, death and torture obsessed, etc.) and even close family members were moving away or wanting to do so. I find it unlikely he would have stayed out of jail, where by his own admission he is happiest. Sooner or later he would have been betrayed by one of the confused young people whose lives he took control of.
starship said...
Ok, now I am not a lawyer, not even a disbarred one, nor do I play one on tv...but one of the most useful aspects of the book Helter Skelter is to explain California law and how it was applied in this case:
Manson has not been imprisoned all these years because he was an 'accessory' to murder, he is in prison because he was convicted of Conspiracy to Commit Murder...and under California law at the time (and may be still today for all I know) if you enter into a conspiracy which results in a murder then you are just as guilty of the murder whether you actually committed it or not. It's actually, in my opinion, a law which makes pretty good sense!
CM was hardly a paragon of virtue and was doomed to be caught sooner or later, if not for the TLB murders then for something else. His activities in Death Valley were increasingly attracting the attention of the authorities.
says Jem
I also agree to that. I also think many others would have gone to prison also..and not because of CM.
Look at Bobby B.
BB was living in the house of GH at one time , a fellow musician..............
How wierd he killed GH almost in the same way as TW killed STP......... 2 trusts with a knife in the heart...!!! (helped by Brunner and Atkins...)...3 for TW ...

Thomas Furter lives and works as an architect and photographer in Wald, Switzerland. His focus is on landscape and travel photography.
He prbably has got the photography through his family. His grand-grandfather had a studio where he portrayed people on silver coated glass. Thomas' grandfather was a passionate mountaineer. His only companion was usually only his Leica. He published his pictures in various books. Thomas' dad then made his first pictures on medium format with a Yashica. And at the age of 12 Thomas went into photography with a SLR camera, himself.
At the age of fifteen, he began taking black and white shots, which he enlarged himself. When he was 20 he was fortunate enough to open his first exhibitions and publish his first reports. He decided to study architecture by the time and founded his own business in 2007.
There has hardly been a corner of this earth to which his camera did not accompany him. Be it climbing in the Fisher Towers, UT or paddling the Yukon, AK, hiking in Corsica (F) or ski touring in the Swiss Alps. Especially his passion for alpinism made him visit hard to reach areas in Europe, Canada and the USA.
On his travels, he has always observed the beauty of the vast landscapes and the wonderful peculiarities of the people and cultures. The camera became a tool to recognize the details and to immerse in these infinite worlds more deeply.
He is a dad of two wonderful little kids, a daughter and a son and a fortunate husband to the best wife. They all share with him the joy of nature.

Prepping your truck for summer is important for all your recreational activities.
Challenging Wisconsin weather drives what you may need for successful winter expeditions.
Depending on why you are heading off to the wilderness, you may be thinking about checking out the latest cameras, for photographing the wildlife, shopping for fishing lures or finding red dot sights , for hunting. There are certain items which need to be taken along, depending on what you are intending to do while you are there.
However, there are some items which are a good idea to pack, no matter why you are taking off into the wilderness. Let's take a look at what you need to consider.
It's always a good idea to take a knife with you when you head off into the wilderness. They come in useful for everything from cutting branches to gutting fish. A fixed blade knife is the best choice as it tends to be more reliable than a folding knife; there are less moving parts where there can be problems.
It can get really cold when you are out in the middle of nowhere, especially at night. Do not forget to pack your reliable beanie hat, to help keep you warm.
It goes without saying that it's important to keep hydrated if you are out hiking. This is why you need to pack a good quality water bottle, where you can store at least two liters of liquid.
You do not necessarily have to take a tent with you, into the wilderness; although this does tend to be the most popular option. If you are heading somewhere which is protected by plenty of tree cover, you may want to consider taking along a hammock, or even just a tarpaulin, instead. You can also supplement any sleeping facility you take with a sleeping bag, for extra protection and warmth.
Obviously, you do not want to be stuck out in the middle of nowhere, with no form of lighting. Depending on your individual requirements, you should take a head lamp or torch to use.
You do not need to take the entire contents of your bathroom with you; this is supposed to be about getting back to nature after all. But, you should take the basics, such as a travel size toothbrush and toothpaste, bandage and band aid, and some painkillers.
If you are heading into the wilderness, a good pair of hiking boots is essential. It's also a good idea to take some light shoes, for when you are around the camp in the evening. Make sure that you take clothing that is easily worn in layers, and that is fast drying.
Packing the items you take into a pack that has a frame and a strap that fastens around your waist is the best idea. This makes it easier for you to carry the load when you are hiking out to your destination. Stick to packing just the necessities as you do not want the pack to be any heavier than it needs to be.
The Boy Scouts got it right: "Be Prepared." Same goes for your vehicle!
Deer hunting with an AR-15 is a possibility and if you follow these steps you can learn how.
Spring turkey hunting can be frustrating and hard but these tips to success will help.

Sheffield baby death: Police reveal more details of why man was arrested
Sheffield's Jessica Ennis-Hill wants to make British Olympic history in Rio
Jessica Ennis-Hill is content to be heading into the Rio Olympics in a more relaxed frame of mind than she entered London 2012 when carrying the hopes of a nation.
Saturday, 16th July 2016, 6:50 am
Updated Saturday, 16th July 2016, 8:09 am
Golden girl Jess
The 30-year-old will bid to retain her heptathlon crown in a month's time, looking to become just the third athlete in history to win Olympic gold, have a baby and then return to successfully defend their crown.
Even more exclusively, she can become the first British female athlete ever to retain an Olympic title.
Heptathlon
The South Yorkshire athlete returned to the pinnacle of multi-eventing just a year after giving birth to son Reggie when she won the world title in Beijing last summer and has battled back from an Achilles injury to head to Brazil as one of, if not the, favourite for gold again.
The result of her last competition - a heptathlon in torrential rain in Ratingen three weeks ago - will certainly have had her rivals sleeping a little less easily as she racked up 6,733 points, her best score since London 2012.
It was 64 more than the tally which earned her the global title in China, only 32 off Canadian Brianne Theisen-Eaton's world-leading score and a major statement of intent.
"I don't feel I'm a strong favourite," said Ennis-Hill, who will continue her build-up to Rio at the Muller Anniversary Games next week, competing in a loaded 100 metres hurdles field on Friday night and in the long jump the following day.
"I'm really happy with the way Ratingen went, I'm feeling good and training's going well. I'm feeling positive and hoping I can maintain that over the next few weeks and push on.
"Going to Ratingen and posting that score in those conditions - and coming away with a personal best in the long jump - at this stage was not something I expected. I wanted to get back to close to where I was in 2012, equal personal bests.
"This year I'd love to get to Rio in one piece and better what I did last year."
Living up to what she did so memorably on Super Saturday in London - when, as the poster girl of the Games, she shattered the British record with a score of 6,955 points to give British athletics, along with Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford, the greatest night in its history - will be some challenge.
But Ennis-Hill knows nothing else in her career can match the pressure and expectation of her two days of competition at the Olympic Stadium.
"I don't think I'll be able to completely relax," she said.
"I can feel the nerves building already. There's excitement as well. It feels completely different this year.
"I don't feel that stress and pressure I had in 2012 and last year as well when I decided to go to Beijing.
"I kind of feel I've come back from injuries and having my son and got back to the top of my sport.
"I felt more stressed in 2012 than any year I've experienced. Last year was a really unknown year. I didn't plan to go to the Beijing World Championships, it was kind of a last-minute thing.
"I always had it in my mind that I wanted to come back and get back to my best. I always thought that would be this year and not last year."
Ennis-Hill readily admits her priorities, as a mother, are vastly different to what they were four years ago. She is treading a path unfamiliar to most - Australian sprint hurdler Shirley Strickland in 1956 and Cameroon triple-jumper Francoise Mbango Etone in 2008 are the only two athletes who have won consecutive Olympic titles and had a baby in between.
It is for that reason Ennis-Hill has opted to skip the Team GB holding camp in Belo Horizonte and will instead head to a camp somewhere in Europe, with husband Andy and Reggie, for 10 days before flying on to Rio "four or five days before the competition".
"Where in previous years I'd always go to the holding camp, this year that's not going to work for me," she said.
"I have Reggie, I'm a mum and my priorities are totally different now. To be confident going out and performing I need to be with my son for as long as possible, then I know I'm happy and he's happy and I can go out and put all my energy into performing."
She admits the Zika virus has been "a concern", but is determined to "try to not let it be a distraction".
Given Ennis-Hill's record of rising to the occasion, it is hard to imagine it will be.

What is a Virtual Private Network (VPN)?
A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or individual users with secure access to their organization's network. It is cost-effective and aims to avoid an expensive system of owned or leased lines that can only be used by one organization.

Great Moments in "Hoh-Story" — a Timeline of Hohenadels in East Falls
Posted on June 3, 2014 September 12, 2014 by East Falls Dog Walker
Our Höhenadel timeline jumps around quite a bit — records in the 1800's were poorly kept, and complicated endeavors such as moving households or establishing businesses could take years (subsequently, important dates tend to overlap).
Höhenadel history in East Falls begins with a veritable boat load of bakers & brewers who came to America from the southern Rhine region of Germany in the 1850's.
They dispersed throughout Philadelphia and surrounding counties — most started taverns or saloons, but at least one branch of Höhenadels got as far as Lancaster. Young brothers John & Jacob spent years on a family farm but they both had too much of the family business in their blood to stay put.
As young adults, the boys found their way to the suburban outskirts of Philly, where each founded his own Hotel/Brewery.
John's was City Park Hotel and Saloon, at 29th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue at the entrance of Fairmount Park:
And Jacob called his business The Falls Park Brewery, so named because it was located next to a local waterfall and park (as well a popular railroad station) on Ridge, at the intersection of "Mifflin Street" — known today as Midvale Avenue. The beautifully-landscaped grounds, dotted with dramatic natural springs, were a very popular setting for parties and picnics:
This property — previously the old Steppacher brewery, which Jacob began renting from Peter Schemm in 1870 — included six wooded acres stretching up to Indian Queen Lane, an area known as "Dutch Hollow," named for the German ("Deutsch") stonemasons who first settled here. The rocky landscape included several caves and, later, vaults and tunnels for the storage and transportation of beer.
A 1877 Hexamer General Survey describes a brewery three stories high, with two kettles holding a combined volume of 104 barrels — that's 3276 gallons, or about two average backyard swimming pools' worth! About a dozen men worked here, producing more than 6,000 barrels annually.
The third floor above the brew house was a fully-functioning hotel, serving food and drink in their dancing saloon. Further survey details about the establishment situated at Schuylkill Falls, 21st Ward, Philadelphia include:
Buildings erected 1858.
– Scuttle & stairs to the roof.
– Cornice of wood.
– Walls 2.5 feet thick.
– Floor of the brewing room of wood.
– Premises warmed by the natural heat of brewing kettles
& 1 cooking stove in kitchen of 3rd floor, well secured.
– No other fires on the premises.
– Fuel Anthracite coal.
– Rooms lighted by stearin candles.
– No steam boiler on the premises.
– No new barrels manufactured at the place.
– Few wood sharings made in coopering shed.
– Lightning rod with 3 points on the building.
– Hoisting apparatus outside, communicating with every floor.
– No ladders on hand.
– Large wooden water tank in the brewing room, 10 feet above the ground,
containing about 64,000 gallons of water, supplied by a never failing spring.
– 400 feet 1.5 inch India rubber hose kept on different places of the brewery
which can be attached to 2 water cocks on water tank in case of fire.
– No other provisions for extinguishing fire.
– No watchman on the premises.
– Hands employed living in the building.
– 2 brewing kettles in the brewing room, enclosed by brick walls
with brick under, in proper distance of woodworks.
– No malt kiln or still on the premises.
– Lager beer manufactured only.
– External exposures as per plan.
– Care in management & general condition of the property: good.
Although Jacob Höhenadel and his family appeared to have enjoyed a prosperous life — living in a lovely mansion overlooking a successful business — life as a brewery owner took its tragic toll.
Like many mill/factory areas of major cities during the Industrial Revolution, East Falls was a hotbed of tuberculosis, typhus, yellow fever, and various other health issues related to urbanization (eg: environmental pollutants, inadequate waste disposal, overcrowding). In 1865, Jacob lost his daughter Sophia at 9 months old. Five years later, in 1870, he lost 16-month old Charlotte to a lung infection, and later that same year an unnamed 4-month old son from "spasms."
Social disease was also rampant at the time, and the women's temperance movement was quick to blame alcohol, including beer. In February 1874, local demonstrations generated tension and threats of violence! Saloons faced public backlash after tavern owners & drunken thugs squared off with policemen while bands of singing, praying women called for bars to close. On the morning of October 29, 1874 a suspicious fire ripped through Schuylkill Falls Park Brewery, causing losses of $45,000.
After the fire of 1874, Höhenadel's string of bad luck continued. Jacob Höhenadel himself died from "brain congestion" at the age of 38 in July of 1876. Soon after, his wife Johanna developed a lung infection and died that August.
These years from 1874 to 1876, it appears, were highly unstable. As Jacob & Johanna succumbed to illness, the brewery changed hands numerous times, and their four children were divided among the surviving relatives: 12-year-old Elizabeth and 4-year-old Joseph moved in with cousin Gertrude Höhenadel and her husband Wilhelm Biermaas on North 12th Street. While no records remain of Elizabeth after a 1880 Federal census, her younger brother Joseph died of tuberculosis before his 24th birthday.
The two other Höhenadel daughters moved in with their father's older brother, the 52 year old "Rev" John Höhenadel, still the owner of City Park Hotel. Seven-year-old Hannah lived to marry and give birth at 22 before dying two years later from tuberculosis; her toddler-aged son, Roy Eric, died a day after from malnourishment. The youngest Höhenadel, Amelia, turned out to live the longest of all of them — she was only a year old when her parents died, and passed away in 1980 at the ripe old age of 105.
In addition to his nieces, the Rev. John also eventually inherited his brother Jacob's ill-fated Schuylkill Falls Park Brewery, after manager George Arnholt left to found Philadelphia Brewing Company (Kenzinger).
Rev. John changed "Schuylkill Falls" to "the John Höhenadel Brewery" then died 8 years later from bronchial pneumonia. His son John was a successful machinest with no interest in the family business, so Höhenadel Brewery went to another relative — a cousin, most likely — John/Johann William Höhenadel who had worked his way up through the family ranks from lowly immigrant baker to competent brewer & business owner.
In 1875, John William Höhenadel moved his operation from its riverside location, up the hill to its final and most familiar location at the intersection of Conrad & Indian Queen Lane. He and his wife moved to 3617 Indian Queen Lane — Höhenadel House! — and then within three years he died of a lung infection at the age of 46. His widow Maria (also known as "Mary" on documents) became proprietor of Höhenadel Brewery for the next five years, up to her death in 1902.
John William & Mary had four children — the year they moved into Höhenadel House, their infant daughter died of whooping cough. Ten years earlier, the couple had lost their first son at only two days old. In 1892, another son, Ferdinand, died a bachelor at 28, while employed as a foreman at the plant and living at Indian Queen Lane with his family. By the Federal Census of 1900, only three people were listed at the Höhenadel homestead on Indian Queen Lane (mother, son & a servant girl from England).
Four years later, the only person left to inherit Höhenadel Brewery was this son, John W., who ushered in the company's most profitable age yet. These years leading up to Prohibition saw a huge increase in Höhenadel's output — the brewery was producing almost 30,000 barrels a year for Philadelphia's thirsty citizens, with brands such as Indian Queen Ale, Alt Pilsner, Health Beer, Rival Porter, Trilby Export and Hohen-Adel-Brau.
This last John Höhenadel enjoyed health & prosperity, becoming president of the Bank of East Falls and then opening another Höhenadel Hotel before leaving Indian Queen Lane in the 1930's for a grand mansion that is now a posh venue for Penn Charter parties & events, called "Timmons House."
Höhenadel Brewery closed for good on December 31, 1953, and the building was torn down about two decades ago.

All I have to say is that we need a "Lager Beer, Wine, and Ice Cream Garden and Saloon" back in the neighborhood. And someone should start brewing "Indian Queen Ale" again.
Steve Fillmore says:
I actually just dug up an old can of Indian queen ale(in rural Maine nonetheless) It's in pretty rough shape but wondered if anyway for it to be dated…

Alexander Hohenadel says:
Greetings from the Homeland where all Hohenadels came from. I regret not to have visited the East fall house on our last visit to the States in two-oh-fifteen. We'll do better netxt time… even if it is a long way to go from Germany…
Just to mention – there hasn't been a ö in the name.. that sounds very funny in german tongue.
Ray Stackhouse says:
I just discovered a John Hohenadel beer bottle in a lot near my home that is being dug up for new construction , the top is chipped but after cleaning I am able to see the name and emblem.
That lot was blacktopped in the early 1960s so it's been underground for a while it is green in color.
I will give it to you if you want it, no charge, I can send a photo.
