Why are you excited about being at St. Francis of Assisi?
As a volunteer musician, I find myself challenged and fulfilled while learning and growing as part of our music ministry. As a young adult, I am also excited to find many other young adults who are invested in positively impacting our community through service and stewardship. Over time at St. Francis, we have been able to form friendships with a few other young couples and deepen relationships with other parishioners and staff who are now a central part of our faith journey.
What are a couple of things you have done to increase your sense of belonging to this parish?
My wife and I have joined some small faith groups, including Just Faith and a Small Christian Community to spend time with other parishioners and grow together in faith. We also enjoy spending social time with many of the people we have met through ministries we volunteer in.
Where are you experiencing "new life" in your life right now, and how is this parish a part of this?
We are experiencing new life around a new job and career change. Our community at St. Francis has offered incredible support, encouragement, and even guidance at times which has helped us find peace and joy in an otherwise tumultuous time.

Member for over 3 years with husband Fritz and two children Camden (5) and Ryan (3)
Why are you excited about being at St. Francis of Assisi? St. Francis has provided a sense of community for our family. As members of the parish we have found many opportunities to connect and begin to develop a sense of belonging for our family. From athletics to the preschool to the service opportunities there are plenty of volunteer opportunities and ways to get involved. Becoming more engaged has also challenged us as parents to consider what is important within the faith journey for both us and our children.
What are a couple things you have done to increase your sense of belonging to this parish? Since enrolling our children at the preschool, we have started to come to mass regularly again. Our children enjoy the children's service and the chance to see Mr. Jim, our Coordinator of Music and Liturgy. We appreciate the opportunity to reconnect as a family in a faith community. We have participated in athletics, worship services and various committees throughout the campus in an effort to use our strengths and get to know others who are in similar stages of life and faith.
Where are you experiencing "new life" in your life right now, and how is this parish a part of this? New life for me has been the gift of time to spend with the kids and chart my own course. Not really a luxury many can afford, but the gift of time has also given me the opportunity to learn more about myself and what is really important in life. The parish connection has helped generate questions and conversations for us that otherwise would not have taken place.
Chris Damico
Member for 1 year and engaged to Stephanie and her son Tavis (6)
Why are you excited about being at St. Francis of Assisi?
I really like the welcoming atmosphere, the mix of young and old parishioners, and the "get things done" aspect of ministry and mission at the parish.
How have you increased your sense of belonging to this parish?
Since joining St. Francis a year ago, I have participated in the ministry called Job Connections, am a lector and have volunteered my time to be on advisory committee for the parish. I also try to meet with Fr. Bill once a month or so as a friend/confidant on my spiritual journey.
How has St. Francis been a part of your faith journey in the recent months?
I am engaged to be married and so St. Francis has been instrumental for my fiancé and me as we prepare for our wedding. We also have a 6 year old son who we are raising as a catholic as well.
As Director of Pastoral Ministries, I am always available to talk with you about how God's grace and Easter newness is unfolding in your life and how our parish can support you on your journey of faith. Feel free to contact me at 847-8205×270 or email@example.com

The South Dakota trial that pitted ABC News against Beef Products Inc., in regards to lean finely textured beef, has ended. On Wednesday, June 28, the two adversaries announced a settlement in the defamation lawsuit. The terms were not disclosed.
"ABC has reached an amicable resolution of its dispute with the makers of 'lean finely textured beef.' Throughout this case, we have maintained that our reports accurately presented the facts and views of knowledgeable people about this product," the company said in a news release. ABC News is a unit of the Walt Disney Co.
Beef Products Inc. (BPI) sued ABC News in what was the largest libel suit in history. The trial, which began June 5, revolved around whether BPI's signature product is "pink slime" or "lean finely textured beef."
Jury award could have reached $5.7 billion
BPI sued for actual damages of $1.9 billion. Under South Dakota law, however, that figure could have reached $5.7 billion if the jury also had awarded punitive damages of $3.8 billion. Triple damages are allowed under South Dakota law if the plaintiff can prove that the defendant knowingly lied about the safety of a food product.
The case was based on 2012 televised reports by ABC News that Beef Products Inc. said defamed the company. In the 20/20 broadcasts, the lawsuit said, ABC and reporter Jim Avila called its ground-beef product "pink slime," made factual errors and omitted information.
Plaintiff: Plant closings resulted from broadcasts
BPI says that after the 2012 reports, its revenues dropped 80 percent, so the company had to close three of its four processing plants, according to the lawsuit.
ABC has said that its coverage was accurate and protected by the First Amendment's provision for freedom of speech.
Gerald Zirnstein, a USDA microbiologist, is often credited with the initial use of "pink slime" to describe BPI's lean finely textured beef product. He used the term in a 2002 email to colleagues after touring Beef Products' plant. He originally was named as one of the defendants but was later dismissed from the lawsuit.
Many retailers and school districts stopped using Beef Products' lean finely textured beef after the broadcasts. That led to the decline in business and resulting layoffs, according to the suit, titled Beef Products Inc. et al v. American Broadcasting Cos. et al.

The OV-10 Bronco was an innovation in aviation that reflected the needs and demands of the time when it was developed. Manufactured during the middle-late 20th century, this twin turbo-propeller aircraft had a blend of characteristics from both jet and helicopter.
Throughout the years, the OV-10 underwent a handful of different upgrades and modifications. These modifications produced the different models we know today.
Some notable models were: the original production version OV-10A; then the OV-10B, a "target tug" variant of the plane for Germany; the OV-10D, the second generation Bronco outfitted with night observation laser capabilities and strengthened structural features; and the more recent OV-10G+ under the Combat Dragon II program.
What is the Combat Dragon II program?
Combat Dragon II is a "limited objective experiment/joint combat validation" built upon the Imminent Fury research program of 2007. Simply put, the Combat Dragon II was carried out to determine whether a turbo propeller-driven light attack aircraft could improve "synergy and coordination" between air and ground forces. You can read more about this here.
Why the OV-10 for Combat Dragon II?
During its briefing, the project was stated to be "aircraft agnostic" right from the very beginning. What this meant is that there was no special reason as to why the OV-10 was chosen, aside from immediate availability. To quote, "the chosen platform was not as important as testing the associated doctrine, tactics and other procedures."
We can't deny though that the OV-10 did offer numerous capabilities right off the bat for the purposes of the project. Being developed as a light attack and forward air control with versatility and ruggedness in mind, the OV-10 proved more than capable to carry out close air support and reconnaissance, factors which were vital for the Combat Dragon II program.
The OV-10G+
The current Combat Dragon II effort is kept low-profile but with basic facts available to the public through effective searching. One fact that is out and about is that a couple of OV-10G+ planes were deployed to Iraq in 2016 to combat the ISIS with outstanding results.
What sets apart the OV-10G+ from the rest of the models?
The OV-10G+ is a direct result of the Combat Dragon II program, built from OV-10D+ planes handed over by NASA. The OV-10G+ is outfitted with different armaments and enhanced capabilities such as "sensors, weapons and self-defense systems such as missile approach warning sensors and decoy flares."
Under the management of the Naval Air Systems Command and with a budget of 20 million USD, here are a few things the OV-10G+ has:
- Garrett T76G-420/421 turboprops, the original turbo propellers for the OV-10D+ model, but with four-bladed Hartzell propellers. Hartzell composite propellers reduce weight, noise produced, vibration while enjoying durability and longevity of material
- L3 Wescam MX-15HD sensor turrets, used for medium-altitude covert intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations. MX-15 sensor turrets have different features and benefits such as multi-sensor imaging, image blending, enhanced local area processing, stabilization and weight-sensitivity
- 70mm APKWS II (Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System) rockets, heightening the aircraft's target acquisition and precision striking capabilities.
- Protracted and versatile operational capability. Although the OV-10 was already a rugged player from the start, the Combat Dragon II sought to enhance those capabilities with added systems in order to reach its goal of developing a "simple, nimble combat aircraft capable of long loiter and on-call reconnaissance and attack duty, able to operate from austere airfields and under primitive conditions."
"Flying snipers"
The final product of all these modifications under the program resulted in what aviation expert Tyler Rogoway called, "flying snipers for special operations hunting ISIS in Iraq." Everything considered, the OV-10G+ Broncos "could observe with great clarity from on high, collection intelligence and stalk the enemy. They could also kill that enemy with incredibly accuracy."
What does this mean for the Bronco?
Essentially, the term "light support aircraft" is being revitalized in the eyes of military aviation. The OV-10G+ Broncos are showing the brass that not everything has to be fast jets, and that the cost-effective light support aircraft has something significant to offer in all military endeavors and efforts.

Together, we commit to our Purpose, and to the Values which define us and we recognize the contribution of Union staff, officers and volunteers across all departments. In our strategy to 2021, we have identified one key priority for change - to ensure that:
The University of Plymouth Students' Union (UPSU) is an independent, democratically led charity that represents the needs of the students studying at the University of Plymouth.
We have been on a journey since November 2017, investing heavily in consultation with our students, staff , trustees and the University to develop this new three year Strategic Plan. We have worked in partnership with external research consultants, Redbrick, who have undertaken the research on our behalf and helped us to shape our new outcome-focused Strategy and the way we will assess our impact. We have identified one key priority for change which, alongside our core activities, will help us to deliver the highest quality student experience for our diverse student body.
As part of this process, we have also refreshed our Values and developed a new Purpose statement, the overarching and meaningful reason why we exist and, as part of this strategy, we have outlined how we achieve our Purpose.
We will still need to be exible and adaptable to the changing environment around us and we will continue to consult with our students, but we are confident that being driven by our purpose and values will help us to achieve the changes outlined in our new plan which will meet the needs of our students.
UPSU President 2016-2018

Nicki Minaj's new music video has 'No Frauds' but a lot of turtlenecks
By Kayla Bazile
Hip hop royalty came back to slay the game.
A few months ago, Nicki Minaj posted pictures with fellow Young Money members Lil Wayne and Drake and now we know why. Apparently, they were recording "No Frauds," which released in March.
They followed that hit up Wednesday by released the music video for the song on Minaj's YouTube channel. The "Starships" rapper showed off some of London's most famous sights while wearing some interesting diamond encrusted headgear. Drake was also there rapping in his artsy black turtleneck while Lil Wayne had an intense conversation with his mirror reflection.

The midfielder has proven his fitness and fought his way back into Arsene Wenger's first-team but there is a chance he will be playing his football elsewhere next season unless the Gunners increase the offer that is on the table.
Wilshere is angered by the fact Arsenal want him to take a 25 per cent pay cut on the £120,000 a week he is currently paid, and will take up an offer from elsewhere if they do not raise their offer.
There is no shortage of interest in Wilshere with Juve keen to take him to Italy, should they fail to lure Emre Can from Liverpool, and would no doubt be willing to match his wage demands.
AC Milan are also keen, while he could stay in the Premier League, with both Everton and West Ham keeping tabs on the situation.
Reports claim that Wilshere wants to stay with the Gunners and will give them one last chance to increase their offer before he actively looks to get fixed up elsewhere.
The fact that Wilshere is also back in the England fold boosts his chances of getting what he wants and a ticket to the World Cup in Russia will further strengthen his case for a new deal on the terms he is after.

Google removes Beauty and the Beast voice ad from its smart speaker; claims it wasn't an ad
It certainly sounded like oneBy Rob Thubron 7 comments
When is an ad not an ad? When it appears on Google Home, apparently. That's what the search giant is claiming after some users of its smart speaker heard a promotion for Disney's Beauty and the Beast remake while it announced their daily schedule.
When asked "Tell me about my day," Google's assistant finished the briefing with what sounds suspiciously like a 15-second ad. "By the way, Disney's live action Beauty and the Beast opens today. In this version of the story, Belle is the inventor instead of Maurice. That rings truer if you ask me. For some more movie fun, ask me to tell you something about Belle," it said.
New Beauty & the Beast promo is one way Google could monetize Home. cc: @gsterling @dannysullivan pic.twitter.com/9UlukSocrO— brysonmeunier (@brysonmeunier) March 16, 2017
But Google insists what people heard isn't actually an advertisement. "This isn't an ad; the beauty in the Assistant is that it invites our partners to be our guest and share their tales," a Google spokesperson said in a statement. A source familiar with the partnership says no money was exchanged between Disney and Google for the 'ad.'
A few hours after videos of the promo started appearing online, Google removed it and issued another statement.
"What's circulating online was a part of our My Day feature, where after providing helpful information about your day, we sometimes call out timely content. We're continuing to experiment with new ways to surface unique content for users and we could have done better in this case."
Google may have quickly removed this promo, but talk of "new ways to surface unique content" has an ominous ring to it. With ads infiltrating pretty much every part of our digital experiences, it wouldn't be surprising if they eventually made their way onto smart speakers.

DROPS (stocks that slid lower)
Campbell Soup Company (CPB) dropped 6%. The soup stock closed down after surging input prices and lost market share to Progresso resulted in an earnings miss. – Once market share is lost it's hard to get back, says Jeff Macke.
BCE Corp. (BCE) dropped 6%. The group that agreed to buy this Canadian telecom in June '07 is now trying to renegotiate the terms of the deal. – I think it will keep falling, says Pete Najarian.

Well, apparently some of them have taken him up on the offer. A lawsuit filed by a dissatisfied customer in West Virginia states that more than 20 drivers' licenses have been fraudulently obtained using Davis' information. This most recent case follows similar suits in New Jersey and Maryland.

CONTEST: Entires Due By May 20 10:00 PM EST Here are the game rules: 1) Go to the following link: https://www.heroinitiative.org/portfolio-item/the-wonder-woman-100-project/ and review the 100 different Wonder Woman HERO Initiative sketch covers that are going to be auctioned. 2) Choose 5 and ONLY 5 covers that you want to guess the closing price on. Try to guess as close as you can to what the final auction price goes for. An example entry would look like this: Chris Moreno - $50 George Perez - $100 Stephen Segovia - $150 Mike Grell - $200 Sean Phillips - $300 How the "scores" will be calculated: If the auctions close for the following amounts: Chris Moreno - $55 George Perez - $150 Stephen Segovia - $250 Mike Grell - $300 Sean Phillips - $350 then we will determine who came closest to actual bids with this formula 55/50 = 1.1 150/100 = 1.5 250/150 = 1.67 300/200 = 1.5 350/300 = 1.17 This would produce a total score of 6.94/5 = 1.39 3) Scoring information: The higher amount (either the closing price or the guess price) will be divided by the lower amount. Numbers are always rounded to two decimal points. Winner is determined by whomever comes closest to a total score of 1 Prize Information: If you are interested in donating a prize to the competition, that's fabulous! but definitely not required. In order to make this worthwhile, we will need several people participating. In order to accomplish that I'm going to offer a nice collection of prizes :-) Walking Dead Hardcovers Volumes 8 - 12 Cave Paintings: The Art of Budd Root Elektra #1 CGC 9.8 J.

There's an asteroid that might collide with the Earth on February 1st 2019, that's a couple days away. I don't want to scare anybody. The shocking truth is coming out today!
There's absolutely no truth of a NASA cover up of asteroid 2002 NT7 hitting Earth. There's also no truth of it hitting Earth at any time in the foreseeable future. The closest it will actually come to Earth is in 2199.
You can see the orbit of the asteroid on NASA's JPL Small Body Database Browser.
When it was first discovered, the asteroid known as 2002 NT7 had a small chance of impacting the Earth on Feb 1st 2019. When this question was first answered, in 2004, the probability of that impact was about one in 100,000 (a very low risk). Now, based on the data we currently have (as of July 2015), this asteroid will NOT collide with Earth within the foreseeable future. On January 15, 2099, it will be 0.37 AU from Earth (more than 100 times the distance to the Moon), and that is the closest that it will come until after 2199.http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/physics/38-our-solar-system/the-earth/impacts/52-are-there-any-asteroids-on-a-collision-course-with-earth-beginner
The asteroid is large though, so if it were to impact Earth, it would do considerable damage. But compared to other asteroids, it's on the smaller size range. That being said, it could actually cause a global disaster if it hit us.
When the asteroid hits, it would cause devastating damage to the impact zone and would throw an enormous amount of dust and debris into the atmosphere which could block out the Sun for several years or decades. This is referred to as "Impact Winter", which is similar to "Nuclear Winter" but this is caused by an asteroid and not by nukes.

Overwhelming Support for designation for Fiske Terrace and Midwood Park
Status symbol' for us – Overwhelming support for landmark designation
By Helen Klein
One person called it a veritable love-fest.
At a hearing held by the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) earlier this month, speaker after speaker rhapsodized about the possibility of conferring historic district status on Fiske Terrace and Midwood Park, two neighborhoods within Victorian Flatbush.
While two area residents spoke in opposition to the designation, in LPC's conference room at 1 Centre Street, their voices were overshadowed by enthusiasm for landmarking the homes within the two communities, which date back to the early part of the 20th century. A total of 54 people testified in favor of landmark designation for the communities.
Borough President Marty Markowitz, the first to testify on behalf of granting the two neighborhoods landmark status, said that he favored designation because, "I want to make sure that this and future generations are able to enjoy the quality-of-life in these architecturally significant neighborhoods."
The protection of such oases, he added, is a way to, "Ensure that as Brooklyn grows, it does so in a way that balances preserving the character of our most beautiful, historic areas as we plan for Brooklyn's bright future.
"Fiske Terrace and Midwood Park are the kinds of neighborhoods that get oohs and ahs from visitors from outside New York City and residents from our outer boroughs who can't believe that such a beautiful, suburban residential enclave exists right in the middle of American's biggest and most cosmopolitan city," Markowitz went on.
In remaining largely intact a century after they were built, the homes of Fiske Terrace and Midwood Park are true survivors that should be honored, suggested many of the speakers.
"Walking around and being in awe of where you live is pretty special," stressed Barbara Parisi, the president of the Midwood Park Association.
"Brooklyn's original suburb in the city needs to be preserved," urged Joel Berson, a former president of the Fiske Terrace Association. "Too much of our rapidly evolving city has been lost. Let's hold onto what has survived so far."
"It has always been amazing to me," added Midwood Park resident Agnes Gautier, "that over 100 years, the current and prior owners have preserved the integrity of the neighborhood."
"Once you own a home that's part of a continuum, a time line that's 100 years old, you're part of history," suggested Paula Paterniti, the co-president of the Fiske Terrace Association. "There have been all these people who came before you, there's you, and hopefully, there will be all these people to follow you. I think that it's our responsibility to preserve, protect and defend something so beautiful, and something so rare."
"We have been given a gift of being able to live in homes that are a marriage of art and function," noted Andrea Wicke. "They elevate the city of New York by being maintained and protected."
"The 100-year-old homes in the area are irreplaceable," emphasized City Councilmember Mathieu Eugene. "If you demolish or significantly alter them, they are gone forever and, with them, a very important part of the history of the borough of Brooklyn."
In fact, as many of the homeowners noted, theirs is only the third or fourth family to live in their homes. "We are not a history of houses, but a history of families," stressed Fiske Terrace resident Gail Hammerman, who said hers was the third family in her 102-year-old home. "This is out extended family sitting here today. We want to maintain the integrity of our community. We want to maintain our community the way it is."
Given the pressures of development all around, that would conceivably be difficult without landmark designation, said many of the speakers. "If the area is not designated a historic district," noted John Beranbaum, "I feel the pressures of development will change this historic district."
Charlotte Greenberg agreed. "There have been some unfortunate changes in the neighborhood from people not interested in preserving it," she told the commission. "I'm afraid if we don't get the designation, the negative changes will continue to happen."
The area's homeowners are willing to accept the additional burden imposed by landmark designation, remarked Fred Baer, a former president of the Fiske Terrace Association. "We understand that more is expected of us, and we accept it because it is a very small price to pay for the protection that historic district status will give our neighborhood," he told the commission members.
"Regardless of how many records are set in real estate," opined Robert Buck, it never really occurred to use that we could live in a better place."
Simeon Bankoff, the executive director of the Historic Districts Council (HDC), testified in favor of designating the two neighborhoods on his own behalf.
Noting that his father and extended family have lived in the area for over a quarter of a century, Bankoff stressed, "The neighborhoods of Midwood Park and Fiske Terrace are the kinds of places that would seem to be poster children for what a prototypical residential historic district looks like in the rest of the country.
"The gracious porches, the gabled roofs, the jigsaw details, the various treatments of the wood shingling, all create the kind of pleasingly eclectic visual harmony one expects from a historic district in some New England town," Bankoff went on. "That this occurs in Brooklyn, bordered by that most urban of arrangements, the New York City subway, inserts an interesting juxtaposition which helps inform and broaden the greater picture of our city."
Nonetheless, resident Pat Feeney spoke out against landmarking the neighborhoods. Her concern was, "The taking away of personal rights. I think it will give a large financial burden to some of the older residents. I love the neighborhood, the trees, the malls, the historic houses, but I'm really opposed to this."
Steve Harkavy agreed. Contending that, "A man's home is his castle," Harkavy said that those who don't like changes to some of the area's venerable homes should simply avert their eyes. "If someone opts to replace stained glass windows with energy efficient windows, it's his right," Harkavy asserted.
One resident, however, said that he had wrestled with the issue of personal rights and come out on the side of preservation. Noted Jonathan Wexler, "I had a hard time dealing with the issue but on balance I think that the pros far outweigh the cons."
Fiske Terrace and Midwood Park are part of Victorian Flatbush, an area of spacious old homes on large, tree-shaded lots. The houses that line the streets are characterized by broad open porches and feature such period details as stained glass windows and turrets.
Besides the traditional Queen Anne houses that characterize much of Victorian Flatbush, there are several bungalows in the neighborhoods, as well as examples of Tudor-style, half-timbered houses with stucco façades.
Because they were conceived of as middle-class developments in the early years of the 20th century, the neighborhoods reflect both "uniformity of design" and "considerable variety among the houses," according to a brief description of the neighborhoods prepared by LPC.
One hundred years later, the homes nestled in the cul-de-sac communities bounded by the Brighton line, the Long Island Railroad cut, Ocean Avenue and Foster Avenue retain many of their original features.
"Both developments display a variety of design and ornament created by using a limited number
of variants within a design vocabulary," noted Frampton Tolbert, testifying at the hearing for the HDC, which supports landmark designation for the neighborhoods.

Residents of a sizzling Spanish city, who have to suffer searing summer heat and are located miles from the nearest coastline, are being treated to a brand new beach of their own.
The beach will be part of the Madrid Rio project; a green belt that covers 300 acres and runs for 5 miles along the banks of the Manzanares River in the west of the city.
Local residents are thrilled with the project which has been seven years in the planning and construction and stretches from Arganzuela Park in the south, over to the Casa de Campo in the west.
The area includes cultural and sports facilities, shaded walks, 30km of cycle paths, a childrens playground, and cafes and restaurants. The new beach which incorporates three large, shallow pools, fountains and vaporised water sprays, is surrounded by relaxing grassed areas.
Temperatures in the Spanish capital can often reach 40°C in summer months and the recreation area will be a welcome and refreshing break from the heat.
Over 25,000 trees and thousands more shrubs have been planted, new foot bridges have been built across the river and some of the older ones restored.
The river itself has had its flow increased from what used to just be a muddy trickle and the water quality improved; swimming is unfortunately still not permitted though.
Despite the residents of Madrid being over the moon at the new development, environmentalists have condemned the fact that the M-30 road had to be rerouted and feel it was done 'without an environmental impact assessment.' This is not going to let the locals stop enjoying what one described as 'a wonderful place of tranquillity'.

What's consistent about winter in New Jersey is the drop in temperature. It's gets so cold here. You never know what to expect. That's all the more reason to have the right outerwear for winter. A coat is a must have. My coat is by Columbia, as seen in A Denim Winter is ideal because it has omniheat and is super affordable. I love the length of the coat hitting just above my knees. My hat and scarf are both from H & M. Of course, its in my favorite neutral color and they go with everything. I live in this hat because some days I don't want to do my hair. Being cold doesn't mean you can't be stylish.

Rescued tigers, bear get new life in Jordan wildlife refuge
JERASH, Jordan (AP) — Two tigers and a bear named Baloo started a new life in a wildlife reserve in northern Jordan on Sunday.
They are among 25 large animals, many rescued from smugglers, who are being transferred to the 150-hectare (370-acre) Al-Ma'wa Reserve near the town of Jerash over three days, ending Monday.
Heli Dunger of the Austria-based international animal charity Four Paws said the rescued animals— 17 lions, five wolves, two tigers and a bear — all "have a horrific past."
Two lion cubs came from the Gaza Strip to Jordan last year, while another pair of cubs was rescued when Jordanian authorities arrested smugglers who advertising the two on Facebook.
Jordanian authorities confiscate hundreds of animals from dozens of species each year, including pythons, crocodiles and turtles. Animals are smuggled through the kingdom from Iraq and Saudi Arabia, according to the Jordanian Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature.
On Sunday, veterinarians hit Baloo, a Syrian white bear, with two pink-feathered tranquilizer darts to prepare him for his 55-kilometer (34-mile) truck ride from the Jordanian capital of Amman to the wildlife reserve.
Once tranquilized, he underwent a medical check, including an ultrasound and an eye scan. Ten workers then loaded the slumbering bear into a transport cage that was lifted by crane onto a flatbed truck, next to two tigers.
At Al-Ma'wa, the animals groggily walked through their new paddocks, seeking shade beneath pine trees.
"These animals, these tigers and lions, can once again be tigers and lions," Dunger said.

Skip to comments.Judge Dismisses Denver D.A.'s Unconstitutional Jury Tampering Charges ( jury nullification )
Posted on 12/17/2015 9:06:06 AM PST by george76
Mitch Morrissey tried to imprison activists for passing out jury nullification pamphlets.
Last August, Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey charged two local activists, Mark Iannicelli and Eric Brandt, with seven felonies each for passing out jury nullification pamphlets at the Lindsey-Flanigan Courthouse. Morrissey continued to pursue those charges even after conceding that such activity is protected by the First Amendment. When I asked Lynn Kimbrough, Morrissey's public information officer, what Iannicelli and Brandt had done that crossed the line from constitutionally protected speech to felonious jury tampering, she refused to say. That's probably because Morrissey had no case, as confirmed yesterday when Denver District Court Judge Kenneth Plotz dismissed the charges against both men, which he concluded violated their First Amendment rights.
What happened here is pretty clear: Morrissey abused his office to punish people for speech that offended him. He persisted in that effort even after it became abundantly clear that the charges were unconstitutional, as when a federal judge in Denver ruled that activists have a First Amendment right to do exactly what Iannicelli and Brandt were arrested for doing: passing out literature arguing that jurors have the authority to judge the law as well as the facts ... It would be perceived as a losing battle [by] a first-year law student.
Yet Morrissey is not alone in seeking to imprison people for defending principles he abhors. Last month Michigan activist Keith Wood was arrested for handing out jury nullification literature outside the Mecosta County courthouse. Wood was charged with jury tampering,
(Excerpt) Read more at reason.com ...
Clearly he needs to be removed from office and disbarred.
He attempted to violate their civil rights under color of authority. He should be in prison, preferably bunking with those he convicted.
Mitch Morrissey is a scumbag from way back. Remember Cory Vorhis?
Why not refresh memories?
Sue the bastard DA.
Of course he did. The process is the punishment and it will continue until we change the laws to let scum like this prosecutor suffer personally for their transgressions.
Mark Iannicelli and Eric Brandt should file a federal lawsuit against District Attorney Mitch Morrissey for overreaching and abusing his power for arresting and jailing them in a public, free speech zone.
Should be Voorhis
Hope they do
Federal or state civil rights charges are in order.
next step is to bring a federal civil right lawsuit against the DA.
Jury nullification allows jurors to acquit defendants because they believe a law is unjust.
Why do you say that. Does the jurist not have the right to vote his conscience? And if his conscience says that the law the defendant is being persecuted against is horse hockey shouldn't the jurist be able to say so?
That in a nutshell is jury nullification. We think the law is unconstitutional so we refuse to convict anyone of violating it.
The jury is the ultimate authority in any trial
Laws are the province of legislation not some nuts "feelings" that a law is unjust. If a law is felt to be "unjust" we have recourse to change it. "Nullifiers" fail to understand they are advocating perjury as jurors swear to follow the judges explanation of the law.
Glad to.
I don't recall all the nuts and bolts of what happened to agent Voorhis, but the stench of it is why Ritter didn't run for a second term.
What if the judge's explanation is flawed or biased?
"jury nullification is a spreading loony idea typical of our times"
I think not! If I was on a jury (and I'd lie to get on one if necessary) and the persecutor was persecuting some poor schlub for some BS infraction under some BS law, I'd hold out indefinitely for acquittal. A trial of the two pamphleteers would be the perfect example.

Non-compliance with EU air quality laws
Both Poland and Belgium have failed to transpose into national law the 2008 EU air quality directive. Consequently, the European Commission has sent a reasoned opinion to Poland, while Belgium is receiving a second reasoned opinion. In case Poland and Belgium do not comply, the Commission may refer them to the Court of Justice and may already ask the Court to impose financial sanctions.
According to the Commission, Latvia has failed to effectively tackle PM10 pollution, and the daily concentration limit values have not been respected in all zones in Latvia since the legislation was adopted in 1999 and became binding in 2005. While Latvia has applied for time extension for one zone, the Commission considers that the conditions for granting it have not been met. Therefore a reasoned opinion was sent, and Latvia has two months to take appropriate action.

Adversarial Symmetric Variational Autoencoder
Part of: Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 30 (NIPS 2017)[PDF] [BibTeX] [Supplemental] [Reviews]
Conference Event Type: Poster
A new form of variational autoencoder (VAE) is developed, in which the joint distribution of data and codes is considered in two (symmetric) forms: (i) from observed data fed through the encoder to yield codes, and (ii) from latent codes drawn from a simple prior and propagated through the decoder to manifest data. Lower bounds are learned for marginal log-likelihood fits observed data and latent codes. When learning with the variational bound, one seeks to minimize the symmetric Kullback-Leibler divergence of joint density functions from (i) and (ii), while simultaneously seeking to maximize the two marginal log-likelihoods. To facilitate learning, a new form of adversarial training is developed. An extensive set of experiments is performed, in which we demonstrate state-of-the-art data reconstruction and generation on several image benchmarks datasets.

Does the U.S. need to worry about Kyrgyzstan's new leader?
The self-proclaimed interim leader of Kyrgyzstan -- an obscure Central Asian state with a very important U.S. military base -- raised some alarms in Washington when she took a congratulatory phone call from Vladimir Putin and thanked Russia for its "significant help" in disposing of the regime of Kurbanbek Bakiyev. Bakiyev, after all, had defied Putin by refusing to close the U.S. Manas Air Base, which is important to the war in Afghanistan, even after Putin summoned him to Moscow last year and essentially paid him to do so.
An unnamed Russian official in Prague fueled the speculation by telling reporters Thursday that Kyrgyzstan should have only one foreign military base -- and that it should be Russian. So, did Moscow somehow sponsor this week's popular rebellion-cum-coup in order to expel the United States from what it regards as its sphere of influence?
Not likely. I've met Roza Otunbayeva, the new Kyrgyz leader, as have many in Washington. She lived here for several years in the 1990s while serving as her country's first ambassador to the United States. She is a product of the former Soviet Union; she was once the Soviet ambassador to Malaysia. But the good news is that she comes as close as anyone in Kyrgyzstan does to being a liberal democrat.
Otunbayeva, now 59, came to Washington in June 2005 as acting foreign minister following Kyrgyzstan's last revolution -- one that, like that of the past several days, involved the violent ouster of an autocrat by mobs that stormed government buildings. That episode was called the "Tulip revolution," in the spirit of the popular uprisings for democracy that had taken place in Georgia, Ukraine and Lebanon in the previous 18 months.
But the nature of the 2005 Kyrgyz uprising was more ambiguous than the other "color revolutions." Some of its leaders were advocates of liberal democracy; others were simply rivals of the previous ruler, Askar Akayev. It wasn't clear what direction the new regime would go in -- and as it turned out, a new autocracy, led by Bakiyev, began to entrench itself a few months later.
Otunbayeva, however, was a confirmed member of the liberal camp. During the visit to Washington, she stressed that she wanted "the United States to protect democracy and build democracy," as I quoted her at the time. She asked then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for help in funding free media and in training security forces. She said the new administration would hold free and fair elections. And she said Kyrgyzstan should seek good relations with both Russia and the United States. "We want to debut a new country and a new attitude of the world toward us," she said.
A few months later, Otunbayeva was forced out of the foreign ministry, and she soon became an opposition leader. Since then, she has watched, no doubt with frustration, as the United States cultivated Bakiyev, even as he constructed a corrupt, nepotistic regime and staged fraudulent elections. It would be understandable if she harbored resentment. She's also only one of a few opposition leaders; her position as interim president doesn't necessarily mean her views will prevail.
It nevertheless seems possible that Otunbayeva -- if she survives the ongoing turmoil -- will try to return to the program she spelled out five years ago. She's been quoted as saying that the new regime will not immediately act on the Manas base, and that it will hold elections in six months. At best, Otunbayeva could lead a breakthrough for democracy in autocrat-dominated Central Asia -- which would be a win for the United States.

"At best, Otunbayeva could lead a breakthrough for democracy in autocrat-dominated Central Asia -- which would be a win for the United States."
Not necessarily. The newly elected government might decide it doesn't want a US base on its territory. The country is a Muslim country, and the US's popularity in Muslim countries is not what it might be. Maybe Kyrgyzstan is an exception. We will no doubt find out.

Anyone really in on who invested in this revolution can shed light on what is down the road for Kyrgystan. But even then it is "the law of the jungle" and the dust hasn't even cleared yet. The lions may have just made the kill but the hyenas are always close behind and looking for a cheap lunch.

Step Inside a Sunny Modern Apartment by the Riverbank
Clutter-free and full of sunshine
Sunshine Home
HOZO Interior Design
Two sisters bought this spacious apartment in Taiwan, offering beautiful views of the park and overlooking the river nearby. One works in finance and loves to cook, while the other is a hair stylist, fond of traveling. With differing personalities and ideas for the space, the pair sought the help of designers to create the perfect modern apartment to share. The result is a dream, allowing for plenty of sunlight and quirky details.
An elegant black marble counter greets you as you enter the apartment. Immediately you'll feel the bright, open atmosphere of the home, thanks to the subtle storage spaces left and right to help keep clutter hidden from sight.
The living room is set by large windows that flood the room with sunlight during the day, giving the home a warm glow. As both sisters lead busy lives, they wanted a living room that was easy to maintain, but comfortable enough for them to unwind at the end of the day.
Notice the use of mirrors and reflective surfaces that spread light across the living room. Even the tiled floor creates a seamless connection with the wall and ceiling. This sense of cohesion works wonders to make this modern apartment feel surprisingly spacious.
The home is a blend of neutral tones, with wooden fittings and gray details. We love the L-shaped sofa contrasting with pops of blue and white. The bright yellow print of the rug complements the blue cushions and offers an eye-catching focal point.
To give the living room a greater sense of privacy, the designers opted for a recessed ceiling. Not only does it add height to the room, it also lengthens the walls. Minimalist storage systems are abundant in the home as well, installed next to the television for storing a collection of CDs, wires and other gadgets.
Here, indoor plants were placed against the white backdrop as a lovely accent piece, keeping the atmosphere inviting.
This modern side table is a perfect piece for a living room. The cantilevered structure offers plenty of room whilst ensuring enough surface area for serving light snacks.
The dining area mirrors the same marble counter by the entrance, whilst also giving the area more privacy by dividing the space from the rest of the home.
With a white and wooden dining set, the room feels light and refreshing. We especially like the two-toned mid-century modern chairs that add a nice gradient to the wooden cabinets.
From the dining room, you can even see guests enter through the one-way mirror installed in the corner.
A tinted glass screen separates the dining room from the kitchen, yet still keeps it accessible when left open. The older sister enjoys cooking during her spare time so she was delighted with the contemporary kitchen design.
The kitchen is designed to be minimal so as not to crowd the space. The rectangular kitchen island offers plenty of counter space to work on, a major feat for a small kitchen.
The bedroom features two beds in a cool blue finish. To keep the lines smooth, the curtains cleverly hang from hidden curtain tracks.
In contrast with the rest of the home, wooden floors were used in the bedroom to add a sense of warmth and familiarity. We love the gradient bedside drawers that offer a point of interest in between the two beds.
All in all, whilst dividing spaces with walls could make a house feel smaller, this apartment instead uses soft secret lines and plenty of mirrors to fake the illusion of greater space. The result is a stunning modern apartment that is just right for two sisters.

New Comic is coming part 2
15 comments:
awesome news! I hope one day, when this saga of hercules would come to a conclusion, we will have some good ending and bad ending like the mage part 10ReplyDeleteReplies
No, sorry, not gonna try that again.Delete
It's too complicated to setup the multiple endings.
I would've thought it would be much more profitable that way, since you satisfied more people....and created a scenario that many of your fans had been wanting. But maybe not. I purchased both and was very happy to pay more to have the options.Delete
Can you do anything Altered Beast related like a free comic or more art this year for the 30th anniversary?ReplyDeleteReplies
I'd care less about video game anniversaries , I don't even celebrate my own birthday anymore.Delete
So that's a no? Can you at least do some more Altered Beast stuff?Delete
There are many talented Artists out there in the World, why won't you Ask for a commission from them. It's better than repeating yourself here.Delete
Unfortunately, I don't have the money to commission anyone, nor an account set up to do so. So I guess I'm out of luck then. I was really hoping for some more Altered Beast Bara, since there isn't that much stuff out there.Delete
You're barking at the wrong tree if you want something for free.Delete
I have no talent either, I only work harder than others.
Create it yourself, that's how I started twenty-five years ago.
No money? yet you waste your time and energy here when you should be working your butt off to earn a living?
Or maybe your not even old enough to be here?
Let's say I do want to commission you for an Altered Beast draw, that's full body and in color. How much would it cost?Delete
You first say you have no money, now you have money for commission?Delete
Please make up your mind.
I'm not accepting any commissions for time being.
However, you can find many young talented artist on the Internet. Many of them will offer 5~10 usd commissions for a simple sketch.
Interesting! How can human soldiers counter the super human strength of Hercules? Really looking forward to the new chapters!ReplyDelete
Looking forward to this. Hope the first round isn't too easy for Hercules.ReplyDelete

Nigeria: Inflation rate rises to 18.48% – NBS
Nigeria's inflation rose again in November, driven by higher food, petrol and electricity prices, data showed Thursday, with analysts saying that the upward trend may not be over.
It is the 13th consecutive monthly rise for the West African country, with the government struggling since August to pull the economy out of recession.
The announcement comes six months after Nigeria's central bank let the naira float, causing a sharp decline in the currency's value against the dollar and pushing up the price of imported goods.
'The Consumer Price Index (CPI) which measures inflation increased by 18.48 percent (year-on-year) in November 2016, 0.15 percentage points higher than the rate recorded in October (18.33 percent),' the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said in a statement.
On Wednesday, President Muhammadu Buhari unveiled a plan to spend 7.3 trillion naira ($23 billion) in 2017, a 20-percent boost over this year's spending, to 'pull the economy out of recession as quickly as possible'.
The statistics agency said food items increased by 17.2 percent (year-on-year) in the month under review, up 0.1 points from the October rise.
'During the month, the highest increases were seen in housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels, clothing materials and other articles of clothing, books, liquid fuel, passenger transport by air, motor cycles and shoes and other footwear,' the NBS added.
The Nigerian economy has been hammered by the global crash in prices for oil — worth 70 percent of its revenue and the bulk of its dollars — and ongoing rebel attacks on oil infrastructure in the southern swamplands.
In June, the central bank removed a 15-month peg on the naira.
The currency now trades at 485 to the dollar in the open market. Dollar scarcity continues to hurt businesses.
According to Bloomberg, the central bank also left its benchmark lending rate at 14 percent in November in a bid to tame inflation.
'With the CBN's tight monetary stance, if there are no further structural shocks, inflation is likely to peak at a rate slightly above 20 percent in March 2017,' Abuja-based Time Economics Ltd. said in an emailed note before the data were released.
'The inflation in the economy is largely due to structural factors.'
Oil-rich Nigeria normally produces 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd), but output dropped to a low of 1.4 bpd this year as a result of rebels attacking pipelines, with no sign of the militants being ready to lay down their arms.
