George Vincent Fleck, 86, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, March 2, 2017.
George was born September 6, 1930 in the Mill Basin area of Brooklyn. He was one of 12 children born to his parents Raymond and Dorothy (Canavan) Fleck. Like his older sister and brothers, George attended P.S. 236. Upon graduation, he enrolled in Cathedral Preparatory Seminary, a four-year high school program for boys interested in becoming priests. Following two years of college-level seminary studies at Cathedral Prep, George went to Immaculate Conception Seminary in Huntington, Long Island, where he completed his college education and his training for the priesthood. He was ordained on June 2, 1956, served in parishes in the Brooklyn Diocese for 10 years, and taught English and Latin at the Minor Seminary. During this period, George earned his Masters degree from Columbia University. He also served in the Albany Diocese, where he taught at Cardinal McCloskey High School.
He left the priesthood in 1967 and married Angela Kenny. George and Angela made their home in Hillsdale, New Jersey, and adopted two children, David and Amelia. George was a Reading Specialist and English teacher, teaching for 25 years at Northern Valley Regional High School in Old Tappan, New Jersey. During summers, George was a self-employed house painter, until one summer when he had a near-fatal fall from a ladder. Following his recovery and physical therapy, he adopted a lifelong regimen of physical fitness. George and Angela spent summer vacations on Prince Edward Island, where her parents were born. After 19 years of marriage, Angela passed away in January of 1988.
In 1990, George married Jean Rieb, a fellow teacher at Northern Valley Regional HS. They lived in Midland Park, NJ until their retirement in 1995 when they moved to Fly Creek, New York. Besides their lovely 1860's farmhouse filled with books, George enjoyed his fully equipped wood working shop making many improvements to their home, especially more bookcases.
George volunteered at Bassett Hospital for many years, and spent many hours as a Hospice volunteer visiting patients in their homes. He always said that in his retirement he wanted to give time and care to others. Known and remembered by many people for his kindness and ready smile, he was often greeted by people when out and about Oneonta and Cooperstown.
George and Jean continued to spend four months every year at Lakeside on Prince Edward Island, Canada, sharing their cottage on the shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence with family and friends. When there, George included kayaking and canoeing, bike riding and swimming as part of his fitness routine. Over the many years since the late fifties, when George first went to the Island, George and Angela and then Jean brought many of the nieces and nephews, siblings and friends to enjoy the beauty of the Island, the beach and the people. Nieces and nephews all fondly remember their uncle for his fun, laughter, stories and antics. Back home in New York, George and Jean are active parishioners at St. Mary's Church in Oneonta. George was a Eucharistic Minister and brought communion to one of the local adult care homes for several years before he stopped driving. He loved singing in the church choir and in the past years when he could no longer speak or read, would hum the tunes and joyfully sing out the alleluias.
After being diagnosed with dementia in 2008, George and Jean moved to one of the homes in the new community of The Plains at Parish Homestead. In recent months, Hospice has lovingly ministered to George as he did to others in earlier years. In addition, two caregivers Amanda Cimko-Wilson and Kim Casella made the last months so much easier for George and Jean with their care and support. George continued to be appreciative to all who ministered to him in the last months and always had a gracious smile for Paul Patterson, Joanne Johnston, Ken Dukes, and many others who visited and spent time with him.
George is survived by his wife Jean and daughter Amelia. Of the original twelve siblings, there remain, Barbara Hirschfield of Southbury, Connecticut, Raymond (Dorothy), of LaVerne, California, Richard (Evelyn) of Jacksonville, Florida, Kenneth, of Riviera Beach, Maryland, Dolores of Brooklyn, New York, Walter of Dunnellon, Florida, Leonard (Nancy) of Summit, New York and Judith Geery of Enfield, Connecticut. In addition, sisters-in-law, Joan Fleck of Kingston, New York, Delarue Fleck of Waterford, New York, Jeanette (Charles) Connelly of Brooklyn, New York and Joan Kenny of Stamford, Connecticut. George is also survived by many nieces and nephews and many more in the next generation.
He was preceded in death by his first wife Angela Kenny, his parents, Raymond and Dorothy, his brothers, Louis, Thomas and James, brothers-in-law William Hirschfield, Roger Geery, Fr. Albert Kenny, and Robert Kenny, and sisters-in-law Lois Fleck, June Fleck, Delarue Fleck, Dolores Fleck, and Frances Murphy.
Family and friends are invited to the wake and evening prayer from 5pm to 7pm at St. Mary's Church, 39 Walnut St. Oneonta, on the evening of March 8, 2017. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 am on Thursday, March 9, 2017 by Fr. David Mickiewicz, pastor of St. Mary's Church. A reception will be held at the Parish Center following the Mass.
Interment will take place in the summer at St. Cuthbert's Church Cemetery, in St. Theresa, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
As it is Lent, no flowers will be permitted. For those who wish, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Mary's Renovation Fund or the Catskill Area Hospice.
Condolences to the family may be made online by visiting our website: www.grummonsfuneralhome.com

Missouri Supreme Court justices uphold death sentence for Craig Wood
Published: Jul. 16, 2019 at 1:41 PM CDT
The Missouri Supreme Court justices ruled against attorneys for Craig Wood in his fight to overturn a death penalty sentence.
A jury in 2017 found Wood guilty in the February 2014 murder and rape of Hailey Owens, 10, in Springfield. Police found her body in Wood's basement.
Wood's attorney argued Missouri is one of only two states allowing a judge to impose a death sentence, after jurors could not agree on the sentence. The attorney said that is unconstitutional. Five justices disagrees, writing opinions for the state.
The Missouri Attorney General's Office argued the state's position.

I honestly can't believe it'sbeen half the program already, wow. Feels almost as if we just started a week ago. Where do I begin? I've met my goals while at the stay here at Adam's. Before my first day here, I made a personal goal of a few like Independent work ethics, Plant Identification, Olmsted history. The one I haven't completed would be the project side. Bob has really taught me plant names that I wouldn't forget. Not only does it feel like I'm his adopted son but also he's made me plant dozen's of Celosia, Marigolds, Dahlias, Zinnias etc. Unlike weeding, I never get tired of planting.
Honestly, I still have goals that I continue to create. My current goal will be my Independent project which is a little complicated but that's what makes it interesting and fun. The whole point of my project is to implement a visual representations from around three separate generations. The fun part would be creating a colored image focusing on the Formal garden in its original form, transitioning into its mid period and finally reaching the present form. Currently that's what my mid-term goals and achievements are! Feel free to ask me questions.

Am I the only one who is over Summer and hot temperatures? I sure hope not. With cooler temperatures comes all those great autumn scents and autumn recipes right in time for Thanksgiving. Throughout the new few months, I am going to gather some of my favorite recipes from all types of bloggers and share those Autumn recipes with you now.
Instant Pot Turkey & Sweet Potato Chili
If you are on the hunt for the best Instant Pot turkey and sweet potato chili in the world, you found it. This recipe is my tried and true sweet potato chili that I have been making for years. Creamy, protein-packed, sweet potato loaded, spiced up chili that will knock your socks off. If you are a fan of chili, this recipe is a must. The Instant Pot gives you that slow simmer flavor but made in a hurry- it is perfect for fall!
Gluten-Free Apple Pear Tart
For today's gluten-free apple pear tart, I ventured hesitantly into the land of traditional pie crusts, but went for one that still had a twist in texture and flavor. Boy or boy am I glad I tried this one. The texture: perfect – holds it shape but crumbles nicely when you cut into a bite. The flavor: crazy good – I adore the almond flavor! This is the crust I've been looking for for years!
Maple Glazed Pumpkin Scones
These maple glazed pumpkin scones are light, tender, flaky and full of pumpkin goodness. Of course, they also have that "flair" of fancy type food that we appreciate. It's just how we roll around here. As for different choices in the ingredients, you can use white, wheat, or any combination of the flours you prefer. Both will give the same flaky results.
Autumn Harvest Pizza
Autumn Harvest Pizza features roasted vegetables; butternut squash, carrots and garlic, buttery cheese, kale and pancetta to give you the best of fall in a fabulously delicious pizza! One bite of this Autumn Harvest Pizza and I was in heaven. From the garlicky crust to the crispy kale, everything is pure perfection on this pie.
Acorn Snickerdoodle Cookies
It all starts with the cake. I purchased a simple yellow cake mix and doctored it up to make the cupcakes taste like Snickerdoodle cookies. All I did was add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to the batter. To celebrate fall, I wanted to make them festive and fun so I created some candy acorns that I saw on Pinterest a long time ago.
Raw Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake
Raw vegan pumpkin cheesecake recipe made with creamy cashews, a walnut date crust and spiced up with the classic cinnamon and nutmeg fall flavors. To make things as easy as possible I used a dozen silicone muffin cups to create cute miniature cheesecakes. No fuss, no mess, just a light dusting of nutmeg and cinnamon before serving.
Cinnamon Maple Nut Butter Covered Apples
All the flavors of fall converge in these easy, real food Cinnamon Maple Nut Butter Covered Apples. In the name of ease and heath, I decided to take some of my fresh Fuji apples and cover them in delicious stuff I had on hand. Like nut butter, honey, and coconut oil. I figure these things are better than all the sugar that even homemade caramel sauce entails. Plus, these are dairy-free, too!
Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins
Fragrant, soft and deliciously sweet, Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins are seriously THE BEST thing this Fall. These muffins are made with ALL HEALTHY ingredients and they are REFINED SUGAR-FREE. Flavored with real pumpkin and warm spices, filled with a cream cheese surprise it's a dessert that will make you wish pumpkin season last all year long.

Gluten-Free Sausage & Apple Rice
And Gluten-Free Sausage & Apple Rice recipe is the perfect opportunity to do just that – change it up, seize the day and add this recipe to your Thanksgiving menu! I use dried/dehydrated apples in this dish because they are quicker, there is no peeling, coring or cooking and they give the dish a such a unique texture that really works!
Butternut Squash & Cranberry Kale Quinoa Power Bowl
The best part about Autumn is this Butternut Squash & Cranberry Kale Quinoa Power Bowl. My kids have always been huge fans of salads, which is amazing. They're always up for trying new foods, so I thought making tasty healthy recipes with quinoa loaded with some veggies would be the perfect kickoff to our summer vacation.
Gluten-Free Apple Butter Bundt Cake With Cinnamon Glaze
Fall and winter are total bundt cake season, if you ask me. That's probably because these next months of the year are ALL about baking. Summer bundt cakes just don't seem like a "thing". Bundt cakes need some deep, rich, warming, sweet flavors to complement their beautiful shape and design. With it being apple season, this Gluten-Free Apple Butter Bundt Cake With Cinnamon Glaze sounds amazing.
Paleo Butternut Squash Soup
This paleo butternut squash soup recipe is so comforting for fall and winter! Creamy low carb butternut squash soup with coconut milk is dairy-free, nut-free and super easy to make. Summertime will always hold my heart, but as the years go by, I get excited about autumn more and more, every time it comes around. There's something heartwarming about the fall flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, and butternut squash.

Chicken & Wild Rice Soup
Chicken and wild rice with chock-full of vegetables like mushrooms, celery and carrots is a hearty, flavorful soup. What I love about this chicken & wild rice soup is it can easily be transforming into a comforting meal with the help of the Instant pot. This soup is perfect for rainy days, when you crave something cozy, and comforting for dinner.
Stuffed Acorn Squash with Beef, Apple & Rice
An easy recipe for Stuffed Acorn Squash with Beef, Apple & Rice that's stuffed with a savory, slightly sweet & buttery filling of ground beef, apple, and rice. Fix this in about 40-45 minutes for an easy and healthy fall dinner recipe. This is a great meal to make when you're in a ground beef rut and need some fresh ideas using seasonal fall and winter ingredients.
Asian Chicken Noodle Soup with Sweet Potatoes
Couples, grab your chopsticks because we are going to let you in on a little secret. You don't have to a restaurant to get a good Asian noodle soup. Nope. You can make a fabulous soup in less than 30 minutes, it's actually easy. Using chop sticks??? Well that's another story. We use a fork and a spoon to eat our Asian Chicken Noodle Soup with Sweet Potatoes, because we are chopstick challenged.

Theists ask, "Why is there something rather than nothing?" How would they answer the question, "Why is there a God rather than nothing?" Is this a valid objection to theism?
2I should probably have asked, "Have any philosophers ever attempted to answer this question?" If so, who? – dedwarmo Jan 15 '13 at 19:15
Of all the approaches to God's existence, the deduction is the strategy that we would expect to be successful were there a necessary God. But there are not a valid deduction, then we can conclude that there is no such necessary God. – Annotations Jan 16 '13 at 11:51
There is no deduction here, only a question. – danielm Jan 18 '13 at 23:32
No, not particularly. They're the same question, roughly speaking. – Mozibur Ullah Jan 19 '13 at 3:23
Why is there something, the universe or God, rather than nothing? This is an illogical nonsense question and not a quest of evidence because impose an impossible explanatory demand, to deduce the existence of something without using any existential premise. – Annotations Jan 19 '13 at 3:38
If everything has a cause, then God must have a cause. If there can be anything without a cause, it may just be the universe as God. You can not give a imaginary definition of attributes of God or a flying pink unicorn, as timeless or out space being or uncaused being, as proof of existence. Some have argued that because the universe is like a clock, there must be a clock maker. This is a slippery argument, because there is nothing that is really perfectly analogous to the universe as a whole, if your question is about the whole, because everything is just a part of universe. The question of the creation of the universe, the whole, itself makes no sense. Time didn't exist before the universe, so there is no time for a cause to make the universe in. The concept of "before" becomes meaningless when considering a situation without time. It's like asking directions to the edge of the earth; The earth is a sphere; it doesn't have an edge; so looking for it is a futile exercise. Why is there something, the universe or God, rather than nothing? This is an illogical question because impose an impossible explanatory demand, to deduce the existence of something without using any existential premises. Of all the approaches to God's existence, the deduction is the strategy that we would expect to be successful were there a necessary God. But there are not a valid deduction, then we can conclude that there is no such necessary God.
The Kalam Cosmological Argument states: 1. Everything that has a beginning of its existence has a cause of its existence; 2. The universe has a beginning of its existence; Therefore: 3. The universe has a cause of its existence. Theists then go on to say that time and space began when the Universe began, so the first cause must have existed outside of time and space and could therefore have been causeless. Since God didn't begin to exist it does not need a cause. But that still doesn't explain where there is a God rather than nothing. – dedwarmo Jan 16 '13 at 4:15
1"The universe has a beginning, therefore the universe has a cause" Begs the question, a classic fallacy. It can be is a composition fallacy too:"Everything in the universe has a cause or/and local, then the universe has a cause or/and local". "So the first cause must have existed ", is appeal to ignorance fallacy: There is no evidence for p. Therefore, not-p. "Not explain where there is a God rather than nothing", likewise about the universe, this is an illogical nonsense question because impose an impossible explanatory demand, to deduce the existence without using any existential premises. – Annotations Jan 16 '13 at 12:08
1You don't appear to understand what "begging the question" means. The above is a sound example of modus ponens. Major premise: "everything that begins to exist has a cause"; minor premise: "the universe began to exist"; the obvious conclusion of this syllogism: "therefore, the universe has a cause". Also, we're not dealing with a composition fallacy at all, only an inductive inference. Furthermore, if we assert that something can come from nothing, we have the far larger burden of explaining why we have no evidence for uncaused things. I don't understand where the appeal to ignorance comes in. – danielm Jan 18 '13 at 23:05
1@danielm You didn't know what is an informal fallacy, It is not a formal fallacies of deductive reasoning, but it is fallacious for epistemological, dialectical, or pragmatic reasons. Wikipedia: Begging the question or assuming the point at issue is an informal fallacy. An argument begs the question when it assumes the controversial point not conceded by the other side. If "The universe began to exist" or not is the point at issue, not the premise. How we can extrapolate the beginning of the singularity sometimes called "the Big Bang is debated. – Annotations Jan 19 '13 at 1:05
1@RicardoBevilaqua - That's not the point of issue. The point of issue is that the universe has a cause. You can attack that premise, but the argument is not a fallacious one. Second, the argument is not from parts, but an inductive inference from a sample of a class i.e. things which began to exist. It does not reason from parts to whole, which would be fallacious, but from some members of a class to all members of a class. Note the difference. Third, I know what an appeal to ignorance is, thank you. But I don't see it as applicable here. There are other points worth examining. – danielm Jan 19 '13 at 1:44
My view is that the question "Why is there something rather than nothing?" is answerable. The conclusion I've come to is that "something" and "nothing" are just two different words or ways of looking at the same underlying thing: what we've traditionally thought of as the "absolute lack-of-all", or "non-existence". That is, the universe, or "something", must exist because even if there were "nothing at all", this "nothingness" can be thought of from a different perspective as being an existent state, or "something". A slightly less brief summary of my arguments for this are below and here.
But, given this, I admit that I can never prove my arguments because no one can step outside our existence spatially or temporally to see what caused it. Instead, what I'm trying to do is to use the rationale as a base to try and build a working model of the universe that can eventually make testable predictions via a process that I call "philosophical engineering". Predictably, I'm a long way from this goal! Thank you for listening.
From the abstract of a paper I wrote at my website on the questions "Why do things exist?" and "Why is there something rather than nothing?":
In this paper, I propose solutions to the questions "Why do things exist?" and "Why is there something rather than nothing?" In regard to the first question, "Why do things exist?", it is argued that a thing exists if it is a grouping, or collection. A grouping is some relationship saying, or defining, what is contained within. Such a definition or grouping is equivalent to an edge, boundary, or enclosing surface defining what is contained within and giving "substance" and existence to the thing. An example of a grouping, and thus an existent state, is a set. Without a relationship defining what elements are contained within a set, the set would not exist. This relationship, or grouping is shown by the curly braces, or edge, around the elements of the set, and is what gives existence to the set. In regard to the second question, "Why is there something rather than nothing?", "absolute nothing", or "non-existence", is first defined to mean: no energy, matter, volume, space, time, thoughts, concepts, mathematical truths, etc.; and no minds to think about this absolute lack-of-all. This absolute lack-of-all itself, not our mind's conception of the absolute lack-of-all, is the entirety or whole amount of all that is present. This lack-of-all, in and of itself, defines the entirety of all that is present. It says exactly what's there. An entirety, or whole amount, or everything, is a relationship defining what is contained within (ie., everything) and is therefore a grouping, or edge, and, therefore, an existent state. This edge is not some separate thing; it is just the relationship, inherent in the absolute lack-of-all, defining what is contained within. Therefore, what has traditionally been thought of as "absolute lack-of-all", "nothing", or "non-existence", is, when seen from this different perspective, a grouping, and thus an existent state or "something". Said yet another way, "non-existence" can appear as either "nothing" or "something" depending on how the observer thinks about it. Another argument is then presented that reaches this same conclusion. Finally, this reasoning is used to form a primitive, causal set- or cellular automaton-like model of the universe via what I refer to as "philosophical engineering".
Additional non-abstract note: One mistake that both academic and non-academic philosophers make in this area is to confuse the mind's conception of non-existence with non-existence itself, in which neither the mind nor anything else is present. Because our minds exist, our mind's conception of non-existence is dependent on existence; that is, we must define non-existence as the lack of existence. But, non-existence itself, and not our mind's conception of non-existence, does not have this requirement; it is independent of our mind, and of existence, and of being defined as the lack of existence. Non-existence itself is on its own, and on its own, completely describes the entirety of what is there and is thus an existent state. That is, what we've always called "non-existence" really isn't non-existent at all; when thought of in this different way, one can see that it's actually an existent state and, indeed, is the most fundamental of existent states.
Another argument that reaches the same conclusion to the question "Why is there something rather than nothing is:
1.) In regard to the question "Why is there something rather than nothing?", two choices for addressing this question are
A. "Something" has always been here.
B. "Something" has not always been here.
Choice A is possible but does not explain anything (however, it will be discussed more at the end of this section). Therefore, choice B is the only choice with any explanatory power. So, this choice will be explored to see where it leads. With choice B, if "something" has not always been here, then "nothing" must have been here before it. By "nothing", I mean complete "non-existence" (no energy, matter, volume, space, time, thoughts, concepts, mathematical truths, etc., and no minds to consider this complete "lack-of-all"). The mind of the reader trying to visualize this would be gone as well. But, in this "absolute nothing", there would be no mechanism present to change this "nothingness" into the "something" that is here now. Because we can see that "something" is here now, the only possible choice then is that "nothing" and "something" are one and the same thing. This is logically required if we go with choice B.
This is basically the rebuttal to the first-cause argument. If the universe had a first-cause (God), then what caused God to exist?
Since the creator of the universe must be more complex than its creation (that's what's usually assumed), this is not the best explanation. In other words, it's easier to explain how the universe came into being (without God), then how a God with such capacity came into being. Another well-established concept in science is that you favor the least complex hypothesis, unless there is a good reason to favor a more complex hypothesis. This is called "Ockham's Razor".
1ChaosAndOrder hits the nail on the head. Science had the fundamental problem of explaining everything by "God did it" or magic, etc. Science uses Ockham's Razor to eliminate an all powerful, all knowing force from the equation. You can YouTube Ockham's Razor to learn more about the priests who wanted to answer real questions without someone always crying because God did it. – Tyler Langan Jan 15 '13 at 23:27
If God created the Universe then he also created the laws of physics and laws of causality. Why would it be necessary for God to have been caused? He must have existed prior to the existence of time and space so he is not subject to them. But that doesn't explain why he exists (if he does). – dedwarmo Jan 16 '13 at 4:27
1Why would it be necessary for universe to have been caused? If you can imagine/require a God as without cause why you cannot imagine/require an universe as without cause? You can not give a imaginary definition of attributes of a flying pink unicorn, as a timeless or outside space being or uncaused being, as proof of its existence. – Annotations Jan 16 '13 at 11:43
1I don't think you understand the process of reasoning to what minimal properties a first cause must possess in order to account for it being a first cause for what exists. It's not a matter of positing things ad hoc. Also, if you wish to assert that something can come from nothing, then you have the burden of proof to show that it can (and thus why we don't know of anything of that sort). Also, the lack of an explanation for God does not nullify the validity of God as an explanation for the universe. Otherwise, by virtue of infinite regress, all explanation would be impossible. – danielm Jan 19 '13 at 0:50
1@ChaosAndOrder - I was responding to Ricardo, and not in defense of any position, but for the errors in his arguments. In any case, I'm perfectly aware of Krauss, but he does no such thing as you claim. The man can't even understand what nothing "is". He is philosophically illiterate to a point that is painful to listen to. I highly suggest you delve into some real philosophy instead of wasting your time on this dying New Atheist fad. There are far better atheists to read. Their arguments may appear original to you, but they are very old hat. – danielm Jan 19 '13 at 1:17
There is something rather than nothing because the state of "nothing" is UNSTABLE. Quantum Physics tells us that the state of "nothing" does not stay "nothing" for long. The key to understanding creation is in knowing that gravity is actually negative energy allowing a creation from nothing where the total energy of the universe remains at zero. Matter is the balancing positive energy. Since the state of "nothing" is unstable, the stuff around us is the result of nature seeking stability. Download "The Origin of the Universe – Case Closed" for more. It's an easy read with many pictures.
The answer is not in that there is "something" but in that there is "this".
The only thing that really shakes my otherwise firm atheism is the Maxwell Equations. Things we take as normal exhibit extreme complexity under closer scrutiny.
A photon, is simultaneously a particle with a mass, and two entwined fields vibrating in a way that one wakes the other dying out, and the other then wakes the first. Look at the concept of a photon up close. Something so trivially fundamental is essentially a very complex concept.
Or take chemistry. Six quarks into three basic particles (electron, proton, neutron) into over 100 different atoms, each with unique properties arranged into a fancy grid of similarities of the periodic table, based on fancy shapes electron orbitals take under different energies.
Why is the universe so complex, ruled by rules of such elegance, simple fundamental concepts flourishing into rich variety that still retains order, though different than its parts.
Why is the universe complex rather than trivial or entirely chaotic? Why is physics so broad, and not a bunch of simple goo ruled by two-three trivial laws or a forest of inconsistent laws of which we didn't even begin to scratch the surface? Why does the simple set of fundamental rules (Maxwell Equations) explode into chemistry - a set of rules much broader but still well within our grasp, and not into endless chaos of something entirely indescribable with laws?
The belief that something of this elegance, this degree of complexity and order rooted this deeply in its laws is a product of a random accident is difficult. This specific degree of complexity, this point between triviality and chaos, suggests conscious effort to set it just at that level.
Of course it may well be that this golden middle of complexity is the prerequisite of creation of self-aware life, and there are countless other universes both more simple and overly complex but they could never develop life. Our is a set of rules that happens to breed sentient observers.
But there's no indication for or against either of these two options.

BBC News - 30 May 2014 - UK Coal intends to close Kellingley Colliery in North Yorkshire and Thoresby Colliery in Nottinghamshire
30 May 2014
Kellingley and Thoresby collieries
More than 300 staff at two of England's last remaining deep coal mines have been sent redundancy letters ahead of closure of the pits, a union has said.
UK Coal intends to close Kellingley Colliery in North Yorkshire and Thoresby Colliery in Nottinghamshire.
The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said redundancy letters were being posted to 57 Kellingley workers and to about 270 Thoresby workers.
UK Coal has not yet commented on the claims.
Chris Kitchen, general secretary of the NUM, said: "I can't see it's in anybody's interests to issue redundancy notices to anybody today, given that the company don't even know if they've got the financing in place for their 18-month closure plan."
The government has offered to loan UK Coal £10m to execute an 18-month "managed closure" of the two mines.
But the NUM is considering an employee buyout of Kellingley Colliery.
Mr Kitchen added: "Given that the pits are performing better than expected, these redundancies could be put on hold, which would give a better chance of a rescue package being put together - whether it's an employee buyout or state aid."
UK Coal has blamed its financial problems on the global market, with falling coal prices, on top of a fire which destroyed, and subsequently closed, its Daw Mill Colliery in Warwickshire.
Alan Spencer, general secretary of the NUM for Nottinghamshire, said: "They [the workers] are just waiting for the postman to come and for these letters to drop on their doorstep.
"It's a terrible situation when you don't know if you are going to be finishing tomorrow, especially when there's coal underground and it could be made profitable."
Kellingley and Thoresby miners urged to accept closure deal
14 April 2014
Two coal mines are likely to close "in the coming days" unless a plan to shut them down in 2015 is accepted by workers, UK Coal has said.
The government has offered UK Coal a £10m loan to allow it to carry out a "managed closure" of Kellingley Colliery in North Yorkshire and Thoresby in Nottinghamshire.
Business minister Michael Fallon said the pits had no long-term future.
The National Union of Mineworkers has called for further talks.
After a meeting of about 250 union members on Sunday, the union said it wanted the government to explore alternative options for keeping the pit as a "going concern".
Kellingley's NUM branch secretary Keith Poulson said many miners would quit before closure in 2015.
"Honestly, I can't see how you can have a workforce that's going to be committed to a programme that's eventually going to put them on the dole," he said.
"I can't see anybody who is human that can actually sign up to a deal to do that."
A spokesman for UK Coal said: "A show of hands [at the meeting] indicated a reluctance to accept the managed closure deal, but this was not an official vote.
"Further discussions will now take place to fully understand the views of all NUM members, as UK Coal seeks to finalise a £20m investment package for an 18-month closure programme.
"Without this deal, the business is likely to enter insolvency in the coming days."
The company said that would lead to about 2,000 job losses.
Nigel Adams, Conservative MP for Selby and Ainsty, said he was concerned the union's position could "speed up the closure on the mine".
"By rejecting this offer, the company UK Coal may end up calling in receivers, it could be as early as today, and the business closed and people thrown out of work straight away," he said.

The late Edgar Stene, who had severe ankylosing spondylitis, was a great promoter of co-operation between doctors, patients and community workers. The EULAR Edgar Stene Prize Competition runs yearly in his memory and honour. First prize is € 1,000 and the winner will be invited to attend the EULAR Congress in Frankfurt. Second prize is €700 and third prize is €300.
The 2020 prize will be awarded to the winning essay on the topic:
"Being a person with a rheumatic or musculoskeletal disease (RMD) – How my voluntary work benefits me"
The EULAR Edgar Stene Prize 2020 competition is open to people 18 years and over who are living with a rheumatic and musculoskeletal (RMD) disease.
EULAR said, "People with RMDs are invited to write about their personal experiences. We all want to live life to the fullest and independently and work is an essential part of our life. But for many people with RMDs it cannot always be a paid employment or a fulltime job due to the challenges caused by the disease. Voluntary work can be equally fulfilling and being a great opportunity to be contributing to society as essential part of it. Thankfully this has also been noticed by the society in recent years and volunteering has become more positively acknowledged and appreciated in many countries. We would love to hear why people with RMDs are volunteering, their motivation and what they are doing. Also, what experiences they have made in their country, what challenges they face but most of all about the personal benefits related to voluntary work."
As the UK's national member organisation of EULAR–PARE, ARMA appoints a judging panel to decide upon the one essay we will submit on behalf of the UK.
You are invited to send in an essay NOT exceeding two pages of A4 in Ariel 12 point. The deadline for the competition is Thursday 5 December 2019.
Competition rules
Please submit all completed essays, along with your name, email address and telephone number to firstname.lastname@example.com by Thursday 5th December 2019.
Please see the full competition rules before you apply. Consent forms [Word docx] also need to be completed for each entry.
The Edgar Stene Prize winner, chosen by a EULAR jury, will be announced by 15 March 2020. The Edgar Stene Prize winner will be awarded a prize of € 1,000 and will be invited to attend the Opening Plenary Session of the EULAR Congress in Frankfurt with travel and accommodation for four nights covered and an invitation to the EULAR Congress Gala Dinner.

Nutritional differences between organic and non-organic milkCategory: News
16 February 2016
Ground-breaking new study finds clear nutritional differences between organic and non-organic milk and meat
In the largest systematic reviews of their kind, an international team of experts led by Newcastle University, UK, has shown that both organic milk and meat contain around 50% more beneficial omega-3 fatty acids than conventionally produced products.
Publishing their findings today in the British Journal of Nutrition, the team say the data show a switch to organic meat and milk would go some way towards increasing our intake of nutritionally important fatty acids.
Newcastle University's Professor Carlo Leifert, who led the studies, said: "People choose organic milk and meat for three main reasons: improved animal welfare, the positive impacts of organic farming on the environment, and the perceived health benefits. But much less is known about impacts on nutritional quality, hence the need for this study."
Key findings:
- both organic milk (dairy) and meat contain around 50% more beneficial omega-3 fatty acids than conventionally produced products
- organic meat had slightly lower concentrations of two saturated fats linked to heart disease
- organic milk and dairy contains 40% more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) - CLA has been linked to a range of health benefits including reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, certain cancers and obesity, but evidence is mainly from animal studies
- organic milk and dairy contains slightly higher concentrations of iron, Vitamin E and some carotenoids
- organic milk contains less iodine than non-organic milk

When USGS hydrologist Christopher Milly submits a draft press release about a recent article on the increased risk of extreme flooding due to global warming, he is warned by a USGS press officer that the release might cause problems at the White House due to the sensitive nature of its topic. The news release would generate "great problems with the department," Milly is advised. As predicted, the release is rejected by the Department of the Interior on grounds that the journal Nature will probably be publishing its own release about the article. [Washington Post, 4/6/2006; Union of Concern Scientists and Government Accountability Project, 1/30/2007, pp. 33 ] However, it has been noted (see, e.g., (April 2001)) that government press releases issued in conjunction with releases published by scientific journals are helpful to the public because government issued releases tend to be written in a language that it more accessible.

In an email exchange between Richard Wetherald, a research meteorologist at
NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), and NOAA public affairs staffer Jana Goldman, Wetherald complains that the Department of Commerce appears to be turning down press releases that have to do with global warming issues. In the following exchange, Wetherald refers to a study he recently co-authored (see October 5, 2002) on the potential impact global warming might have on soil moisture and run-off rates. In his email, he writes, "I have not bothered to write a draft NOAA press release since the last time it was turned down by the Dept. of Commerce (see (April 2001)). Apparently at that time, greenhouse or global warming papers were considered to be the literary equivalent of 'persona non grata' by the current administration. I assume that this is still the case? I don't want to waste both of our times if it is. Anyway, here is the summary for your information. Please let me know if this policy has changed." Goldman replies: "What I think I may do is pass the abstract along downtown and see what they think. I agree with you, the attitude seems to have changed regarding climate change, but let's also avoid doing unnecessary
work if it's not going to go anywhere." Wetherald says in response: "That sounds like a sensible idea. If by some miracle, you can use it as a NOAA press release, this would be fine as long as it contains the basic conclusions in the summary that I sent. I will certainly help out if it comes to that…" Goldman then writes: "I sent the abstract down to see if it would fly—if so, we would have to draft a release, but at least we would know that it would go through and our work would not be in vain."

NOAA climate scientist Thomas Knutson is invited to give a presentation on global warming and hurricanes as part of a science seminar series on Capitol Hill sponsored by the American Meteorological Society. The presentation is cleared by the NOAA, but there is nonetheless concern about the title of his lecture—"Global Warming and Hurricanes." Scott Carter, an NOAA legislative affairs officer, sends an email to NOAA official Ahsha Tribble asking her to comment on it. "I wanted to get your thoughts on him using the term global warming," Carter says. "His title slide is 'Global Warming and Hurricanes.' I see the event does ask that, and I am no scientist, but I know that term is sensitive, so any problem in him using the term?" Some time later Knutson is advised not to use the term "Global Warming" in his title. "Just a heads-up… wouldn't want the higher ups coming down on you. There is discomfort in the administration with these terms." Knutson ignores the request. [Maassarani, 3/27/2007, pp. 10 ]

The George C. Marshall Institute publishes a book titled, Shattered Consensus: The True State of Global Warming. In its press release announcing the book, the institute says the book "demonstrates the remarkable disparities between so-called 'consensus documents' on global warming… and climate reality." The book, edited by longtime climate contrarian Patrick Michaels, a meteorologist, features essays contributed by Sallie Baliunas, Robert Balling, Randall S. Cerveny, John Christy, Robert E. Davis, Oliver W. Frauenfeld, Ross McKitrick, Eric S. Posmentier, and Willie Soon. Michaels is affiliated with at least ten organizations that have been funded by ExxonMobil and the Marshall Institute has received some $630,000 from ExxonMobil in support of its climate change program (see Between 1998 and 2005).

Joellen Russell, a former GFDL research scientist who is now an assistant professor of geosciences at the University of Arizona, sends an email to NOAA public affairs officer Jana Goldman explaining why the NOAA should issue a press release on a paper he lead authored. Many of the coauthors are NOAA scientists. He writes: "Ron Stouffer asked me to contact you. He told me that you and Maria had discussed the following paper, 'The Southern Hemisphere Westerlies in a Warming World: Propping the Door to the Deep Ocean.' I am the lead author of this paper that describes the critical role of the Southern Ocean in the global climate response to increasing greenhouse gases. I have a number of GFDL [Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory] co-authors (Ronald Stouffer, Keith Dixon, Robbie Toggweiler, and Anand Gnanadesikan) and our study uses the latest GFDL coupled climate models to quantify the large and growing influence of the Southern Ocean on climate. Therefore, we think this paper is worthy of a press release." But the request is denied. Goldman explains, "The lead author's organization/agency usually takes the lead in issuing releases." [Maassarani, 3/27/2007, pp. 30-31 ] In October, the NOAA will issue a press release on a study whose lead author is not a US government scientist. In that study, the conclusion is that hurricane activity is suppressed by dust clouds and that periods of intense hurricane activity seem to have taken place when there were fewer dust storms. (The implication being that dust storm scarcity, not global warming, may have caused the recent increase in hurricane activity) (see October 13, 2006).

Windows Mobile device is a good companion to bring along due to its lightweight and portability as compared to laptop. However, it has a huge trade off of not having huge screen and even worst is the built in soft or even hard keyboard is not ideal for fast typing. Now there is a solution for it. Named as My Mobiler v1.2, this is a must have tool on the desktop that can enable user to view and even control Windows Mobile Device in a better way.
What it does is the software utility is able to sync up with mobile device and let the user views the content on your desktop. That is not all, it allows user to control and browse using keyboard and mouse connected to your desktop. In this way, user will be able to drag and drop files, capture mobile screen, browse through mobile explorer and even more like what it can be done in typical desktop view. Although it is only viewable at 240 X 320, but the resolution is more than sufficient as compared to the viewable screen on mobile device. It is compatible with Windows Mobile 2003, 5.0 and even 6.0 professional. No harm to get and try at MyMobiler since it is totally free for use. One of the great applications that I can think of is whenever the user needs to demonstrate the mobile device capability, he can use this utility to connect to desktop and project it to the wall through projector simultaneously.

In cooperation with several Tri-Cities women's groups we facilitate and support the annual "Expanding Your Horizons in Math and Science" program. Expanding Your Horizons in Math & Science (EYH) is a program very similar to what is now called STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) that began long before STEM became a buzz word. It is not a career fair; it is a "role model" event.
We invite local middle school girls to participate in hands-on workshops led by women professionals in scientific, technical, engineering and other fields. Workshops are designed to show the girls how these role model women go about their work

The Bloody Hand
Blaise Cendrars; Graham macLachlan (Translator)
A masterpiece of French war literature, complete and unabridged for the first time in English.
Translated by Graham MacLachlan and published by Éditions Vagamundo on July 23, 2015
The Bloody Hand is the second volume in a quartet of 'memoirs that are memoirs without being memoirs' by celebrated French author, poet and adventurer Blaise Cendrars. It focuses on his experiences in the First World War, from enlisting amid shambolic scenes in Paris to fighting the Boche in the muddy trenches of the Western Front as a corporal in the infamous Foreign Legion. Cendrars treats his subject with lucidity and detachment, never calling on the reader to pity his comrades-in-arms but rather to look at the war through the eyes of the simple poilu, to join him in his contempt for the officers and 'those running the war'. We follow his adventures into the marshes of the Somme where, in addition to the hunting and fishing, his squad of oddballs carries out patrols and even the occasional raid. We discover how he takes a prisoner without really trying, exposes a fraud in a Parisian brothel, foils an attempt to carry off a bumbling general, befriends an alcoholic hedgehog, falls prey to the machinations of the French secret police, meets a man who would swallow anything for an extra ration of wine...
The Bloody Hand is a cornucopia of engrossing tales, poignant description and thought-provoking prose on war and the human condition.
'He is tender and cruel, funny and mystical, multi-faceted and always surprising.'Le Monde
Deluxe illustrated edition
This luxury hardback edition features an album of fifty illustrations depicting life in the trenches of the Great War. Selected for the The Bloody Hand from the archives of the Historial Museum of the Great War (Péronne, France), many of these works have never been published before and all the artists saw service on the Western Front. In an introduction commissioned specially for this new and unabridged translation, renowned historian Nicolas Beaupré places The Bloody Hand in its historical context and takes a comprehensive look at its themes. Learn more about France's 'left-handed poet' in the final section of the book which contains a three thousand word biography of the author and a complete list of published works including those translated into English. The holes punched into the cover evoke the constellation of Orion, a reference to the war-maimed writer's famous poem of the same name:
OrionThat's my starShaped like a handThat's my hand gone to heaven…

This is a stunning onyx wand accented by a beautiful Labradorite & Moonstone
The noble Onyx is a most ancient stone, known and utilized by even the earliest civilizations for its powerful energy and somber beauty.
A powerful protection stone, Black Onyx absorbs and transforms negative energy, and helps to prevent the drain of personal energy. It integrates dualities within the Self, and is perhaps the best talisman of Strength and Self-mastery on the planet. This stone connects to the body, to belonging to the earth and family, and putting down roots. It is grounding and stable, taking aggressive energies and using them to build up physical and mental strength, persistence and endurance, helping one to be master of one's own destiny and to keep one's own counsel.
Labradorite allows one's innate magical powers to surface. It is, in every sense, a Stone of Magic, a crystal of shamans, diviners, healers, and all who travel and embrace the universe seeking knowledge and guidance. For self-discovery, it is excellent for awakening one's own awareness of inner spirit, intuition and psychic abilities.
Moonstone holds the power of mystery. Its secrets are locked beneath a pearly veil, and with them, our own hidden truths. Only within its reflected light can we begin to understand what it has to teach us. Rainbow Moonstone provides psychic protection, clearing the mind and senses, and aids in lucid dreaming and calm sleep.

I saw this scene in Singapore recently. A shopping playground in Singapore. A playground in a shopping place in Singapore.
It is common to find playgrounds in shopping centres in Singapore as shopping is a very family-friendly and popular leisure activity in Singapore.
My kids like playgrounds and they will always try out the playgrounds for the fun of it.
How many times have you seen shopping centres with playgrounds in Singapore? How many shopping places have seen that do not provide playgrounds for kids in Singapore?
The next time you shop, stop and look out for these playgrounds...shopping playgrounds in Singapore.
By the way, do you recognise this shopping playground in Singapore? Where in Singapore can you find this kids' playground in Singapore?
Hint: This playground is located somewhere in the east of Singapore.

Just a few quick notes to wrap up the weekend and start the new week off right.
***Last week, my mother-in-law gave us her old record player and a decent collection of old vinyl. I hooked the record player up to my wife's stereo system on Saturday and spent a good part of the weekend listening to old Beatles and Springsteen albums the way they were originally released. The sound was warm, and fuzzy, and real… a sound I haven't heard in a long time.
I grew up in the 80's with cassette tapes and CD's, but I did have a record player when I was a kid. Of course… the only records I owned as a child consisted of The Pink Panther singing punk songs, Cookie Monster singing disco tunes, and The Smurfs just being generally smurfarific. I can't tell you how great it was on Saturday to spin R.E.M.'s Document on an actual turntable. I can't wait to fill out my R.E.M. vinyl collection.
R.E.M.: Welcome to the Occupation (Buy Album)
***Sunday afternoon, my wife and I went to see a matinee showing of Away We Go with John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph. We both enjoyed the film immensely and found it to be quite funny with a great deal of heart. I don't want to give anything away about the movie, but I will say it was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I recommend it if you can find it at a theatre near you.
The reason I'm writing about it here is the stellar soundtrack featuring singer/songwriter Alexi Murdoch. Songs from Bob Dylan, George Harrison, and The Velvet Underground were used in various scenes in the movie (and appear on the soundtrack), but the most pivotal moments were accented by original tunes from Murdoch. His hushed vocals and gentle melodies really added to the film.
Alexi Murdoch: All My Days (Buy Album)
***Finally, I feel obliged to add my contribution to the ongoing Michael Jackson tributes that have consumed the blog world since Thursday afternoon.
The first "real" album that I ever owned (outside of The Smurfs) was Michael Jackson's Thriller. I won a cassette copy at the faculty Christmas party at the high school where my parents worked. I still remember getting excited when I saw the tape as one of the possible prizes for the faculty raffle, and being absolutely thrilled when my parents allowed me to pick the prize for them when their number was called.
The choice was easy, and I wore that tape out. I loved every second, and learned every word of every song on it. I was five years old.
My favorite song was "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'." I've probably listened to it fifteen times this weekend.

UNESCO Nomination
The history of this nomination begins as early as 1996, when the site called "Historic Centre of Palermo, Botanical Garden and the Complex of Monreale" was added to the Proposal List, later modified on 6 June 2001 in "Palermo and the Cathedral of Monreale". However, this proposal has changed over time, following checks on the properties that were intended to be nominated and the most recent strategic guidelines of UNESCO that aimed at a broader representation of properties, as far as typology, chronological scopes and geographical areas. To better respond to these strategies and consider the specificity of the places in question, attention was focused on an unrepresented historical and cultural context that included the inclusion of Cefalù and the official modification of the proposed property in "Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale."
On July 3, 2015, the World Heritage Committee, during the 39th annual meeting held in Bonn, Germany, decided to inscribe on the World Heritage List the serial property "Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale," which has become the fifty-first Italian UNESCO property and has confirmed the primacy of Italy as the nation with the highest number of world heritage properties and, among the Italian regions, the supremacy of Sicily.
Nomination criteria
The serial property was inscribed on the basis of the following three UNESCO criteria.
Criterion II: to exhibit an important interchange of human values, over a span of time or within a cultural area of the world, on developments in architecture or technology, monumental arts, town-planning or landscape design.
"The Arab-Norman Palermo property and the Cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale is the material testimony of a particular political and cultural condition characterized by a fruitful cohabitation of people of different origins (Muslims, Byzantines, Latins, Jews, Lombards and French) who favored the interchange of human values and the blossoming of a lively season of cultural syncretism. In the monumental field, this emblematically generated a conscious and outstanding combination of architectural elements and artistic techniques, drawn from the Byzantine tradition, the world of Islam and the West and proposed new models of synergy between nature and building whose outcomes influenced the development of the architecture of southern Italy on its Tyrrhenian side and extended to a large part of the Mediterranean basin."
(© Application Dossier for the Inscription on the World Heritage List of the Arab-Norman Palermo serial property and the Cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale, December 2014)
Criterion IV: to be an outstanding example of a type of building, architectural or technological ensemble or landscape which illustrates (a) significant stage(s) in human history.
"The set of monuments of the property 'Arab - Norman Palermo and the Cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale' shows in an exemplary manner the characteristics of an extraordinary stylistic syntax that, reworking in an original and unitary manner elements belonging to different cultures, gave life to new spatial, constructive and decorative concepts. The strong impact of these events on the Medieval horizon significantly contributed to the formation of the Mediterranean koinè, a prototype and tangible sign of the birth of modern Mediterranean-European civilization, from the Empire of Frederick II of Swabia to the formation of national states."
(© Application Dossier for the Inscription on in the World Heritage List of the Arab-Norman Palermo serial property and the Cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale, December 2014)
Declaration of Outstanding Universal Value and Justification for Inscription
"The set of buildings forming the property 'Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale' is a material example of coexistence, interaction and interchange between different cultural components of heterogeneous historical and geographic origin. This syncretism has been translated into an original architectural and artistic style of outstanding universal value, in which Byzantine, Islamic and Latin elements are admirably fused, capable of being produced in unique combinations of outstanding artistic value and extraordinarily unitary. The Arab-Norman syncretism had a strong impact in the Middle Ages, a fundamental condition for the development of modern Mediterranean-European civilization."

VIDEO | Gillette World Sport
Jason Vargas combined with two relievers on a four-hitter, and Michael Conforto laced the go-ahead, two-run double in the fifth inning as the New York Mets capped an emotional day by completing a doubleheader sweep of the visiting Miami Marlins with a 5-2 win at Citi Field.
The Mets earned a 4-3 win in the opener, when Conforto and Todd Frazier hit back-to-back homers with two outs in the ninth.
New York beat Miami three times in a span of 24 hours to conclude a rain-soaked series. The scheduled opener was rained out Monday, and the teams could only play one game of a scheduled doubleheader Wednesday, when the first pitch was thrown at 9:45 p.m. EDT.
The Marlins struck first in the nightcap, when losing pitcher Jeff Brigham (0-2) led off the third by singling for his first big league hit before Miguel Rojas hit a two-run homer, his 11th of the season. Vargas then walked Lewis Brinson before retiring 12 of the final 13 batters he faced.
The Mets chased Brigham in the fifth, when Tomas Nido hit his first big league homer with one out before Vargas and Amed Rosario singled. Jarlin Garcia got Jeff McNeil to hit into a fielder's choice before Conforto launched his two-run double.
Conforto helped the Mets pad their lead in the seventh, when he hit an RBI single immediately before Dominic Smith delivered a run-scoring groundout.
Vargas (6-9) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven in six innings. Seth Lugo struck out five in two scoreless innings of relief before Robert Gsellman earned his 11th save with a hitless ninth.
Brigham, making his second career start, allowed three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two over 4 1/3 innings.
The big pregame news Thursday was made before the first game, when the Mets and their captain, David Wright, announced he will be activated for the final homestand, which begins Sept. 25, and will start at third base against the Marlins on Sept. 29.
It likely will be the final big league game for Wright, who hasn't played since May 27, 2016, due to various neck, back and shoulder surgeries. A teary-eyed Wright said during a press conference that it was "debilitating" for him to play baseball.

Today is the day! Hubby comes home this evening and I can't wait to see him. The boys and I had a great week though. They were both well behaved and we had quite a bit of fun. But they do miss him. G was so upset last night at bedtime. He just started to cry because he missed daddy and wanted him to be home. It broke my heart but at the same time, it was just the sweetest.
Last night was a rough night for me. As the baby gets bigger, it causes more problems for my ilesotomy. With less room for my intestines, it seems to create blockages more easily. A few weeks ago I had a terrible blockage that ended up in a visit to the hospital. Last night I had another blockage. It lasted around 5 hours; 5 hours of awful pain. I am calling myself lucky last night in that it only lasted 5 hours. The blockage passed slowly but once it did, I was able to get comfortable and get some rest. Fingers crossed I don't have anymore blockages.

Time to Charge or Release
On the 16th anniversary of Guantánamo's opening, we have one simple call: Guantánamo should operate like any other prison – the detainees should be charged or released.
Guantánamo has become an enduring symbol of injustice in our time. It stands for torture, abuse and indefinite detention without charge or trial. A total of 779 prisoners have been held there – and 16 years on it remains open with 41 men still being detained.
To mark this grim anniversary, we are launching a global campaign to close Guantánamo for good, and bring you a collection of stories from those who have actually been there – the detainees, both former and current, and the Reprieve lawyers who are fighting for them.
