As you alluded, there are matters of causality to be considered as well.
What happens if you inadvertently get handed a dangerous battery which explodes on your way home? You may not be able to levitra dosage get quick attendance by the accident response teams because of the hazardous materials and tramadol on line possibly high voltages present. You may have to wait until a Hazmat team arrives to extract you from the wreck, by which time you could very well be needing the services of the city morgue instead of an emergency medical team.

If it dies on the way home (very unlikely) you get a replacement battery. You don't own the battery so it doesn't matter if it goes bad.
You also get the viagra for canadians buy the car for dirt cheap because you aren't buying the battery.
And as battery tech gets better you get a better battery and longer range instantly. I wish I could do this with my several year old Prius right now. The battery is fine but the new model battery is even better with more range.
The greatest thing about electric transport is how clean the air will be for everyone including bikers, kids, pedestrians. The fresh air and much healthier lungs of everyone will be a huge unexpected benefit.

Great to buy professional levitra without prescription see a country like China with its high emissions looking to make a change. I wonder if the western world will make change as quickly?
written by haggar, May 11, 2011
How long will it take before the USA will be the last country to be stuck with the oil producer's blackmail to the extent that it is now ? And then complain that the rest of the world is cheap levitra online prescription passing us by unfairly ? Do we go on considering that the rest of the World is not as smart as we are so let's serenely ignore reality, instead of leading the world in new technologies . . . . keep it up and wow it's great cialis australia no prescription Walmart will be selling China-built cars and charging stations on the cheap.

Strapless Corset Gown with Rose Applique Detail Style CWG614 11 11
Stunning! This was the perfect non traditional gown I was searching for. The color is a blush pink with hints of champagne, and the detailing is rose gold, gold, and silver. It's breathtaking. My one criticism is that the top lacks a bit of support. I am going to have boning added, and possibly cap sleeves with extra material from the train. Otherwise, this dress is perfect.I also bought the matching veil with complements it perfectly. February 16, 2014
It's the one! This was the 5th or 6th dress I tried on after really liking and struggling to choose between the first few. I liked all of them, but it wasn't until I put this one on that I knew, I had no doubts that it was MY dress! The pink color is very light and complimentary to the beautiful gold detailing. This dress is everything I wanted for my backyard garden wedding. I tried it on in a size 12 and ordered it in a 22, but I still got a good feel of how it looked! This dress is gorgeous! If you are thinking of trying it on do it! It was not originally one of my first picks due to it not being in the David's Bridal Woman line, but I'm so glad my consultant brought it out anyways! I can't wait to wear it! February 10, 2014
Beautiful Dress I entered Davids Bridal looking at purchasing another of Oleg Cassini's gowns, and decided to try this one on in a whim. I immediately loved it. I am normally a size 8, and ended up with a size 12 that needed to be taken in at the waist about two inches. When I tried it on at the store, I tried it with one of their bustiers that made the dress fit quite tight, however without it, it was a bit too large as stated above. The color is really beautiful, I was concerned the gold on the roses was going to be more of a green, but it was a beautiful champagne color. It's great quality, and I ended up multi-point bustling the dress in the back to give it a better effect. The only complaint I have is that the train is strangely cut. It flares out at the side, then tapers in to create the train. It made bustling it much more difficult. February 7, 2014

Factor XIII deficiency
Other Names for this Disease
- Congenital Factor XIII deficiency
- Fibrin stabilizing factor deficiency
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
[1] FXIII deficiency is usually caused by mutations in the F13A1 gene, but mutations have also been found in the F13B gene. It is usually inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. Acquired forms have also been reported in association with liver failure, inflammatory bowel disease, and myeloid leukemia.[2]Factor XIII deficiency is an extremely rare inherited blood disorder characterized by abnormal blood clotting that may result in abnormal bleeding. Signs and symptoms occur as the result of a deficiency in the blood clotting factor 13, which is responsible for stabilizing the formation of a blood clot. In affected individuals, the blood fails to clot appropriately, resulting in poor wound healing. Blood may seep into surrounding soft tissues, resulting in local pain and swelling. Internal bleeding may occur; about 25 percent of affected individuals experience bleeding in the brain.

ArtPalmBeach is considered one of the most influential contemporary art fairs on Florida's Gold Coast by both critics and art enthusiasts. Over 80 international galleries will be exhibiting contemporary and emerging artists.
ArtPalmBeach (APB), wrapped-up its 17th successful season January 23 – 27, 2014. Thousands of art collectors, curators, designers, media, tourists, residents and students converged at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, daily, to browse and purchase works from more than 80 international galleries. For 17 years, the fair has solidified its position as a leading, local institution, combining a selection of the world's leading contemporary galleries with an exceptional program of lectures, artists' panel discussions and site-specific exhibitions and installations throughout the Palm Beaches.
Show Highlights:
APB opened in grand style on January 23 with a special VIP preview. In collaboration with the International Sculpture Center in Washington DC and Sculpture magazine, form and function took the center spotlight with sculptural works by major artists and new talent showing-off innovative media in light, video, carbon, glass, porcelain, metal and sound.
Guests to this year's affair were greeted by an immense otherworldly installation of colorful light, consumer electronics and mass-produced objects by renowned Romanian-born, Texas-based artist Adela Andea (recently exhibited at the Texas Biennale) while Galerie Lelia Mordoch (Paris) sponsored an exhibition of the world's first Nano Art Lab exhibition by French artist Michel Paysant. VIPs were also treated to book signings by Israeli-born photographer Yigal Ozeri represented by Corridor Contemporary (Tel Aviv) and had a chance to meet internationally renowned sculptor and son of Anthony Quinn, Lorenzo Quinn, courtesy of Halcyon Gallery (London).
New this year, was a celebration the Korean art global expansion featuring Soo Jung Hyun's curated show and preview exhibition, "Searching for a Cow in the Forest." Three other artists Lee Yong Baek, Lim Dong-Lak and Sung Hee Cho, also had their masterpieces showcased in a Korean Pavilion.
Continuing the theme was an Asian Fusion Café where native foods were prepared by culinary experts. In keeping with worldwide focus on emerging artists, a special exhibition entitled "The Awakening of the Middle East," featured a selection of established artists from Egypt to Iran via the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon and Turkey. This special exhibition explored artists' responses to the Arab Spring with a vision of the future of the region and questioning the cultural prejudices of the West.
Sculptor Albert Paley was honored as 2014's ArtPalmBeach Visionary Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. Paley, recognized for his innovative use of forging metals in monumental sculptures, shared a special viewing of "Forge," the season five premiere episode of PBS' Craft in America series which featured his 15 monumental sculptures of New York City's "On Park Avenue" exhibition. Represented by Ruth Lawrence Gallery (Rochester), Paley is also a recipient of Institute Honors, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) highest honor among non-architects.
Dr. Thomas R. Riley (Cleveland) gallerist Joey Richardson, England's preeminent wood turner and Bing Pho, artist & internationally acclaimed story teller on wood were also in attendance sharing their stories and Samuel Lynn Galleries (Dallas) flew-in Hans Van De Bovenkamp, one of the forerunners of New York City's 10th street gallery co-op movement in the 1960s, to share his incredible journey from struggling artist in Holland to award-winning master. An exclusive showcase of Lino Tagliapietra's (last year's APB Lifetime Achievement award-winner) magnificent glass art from Schantz Galleries (Stockbridge) was a popular gathering spot. The Italian-born renowned glass blowing artist began his apprenticeship at the young age of 11 and since then has had his work showcased in over 75 international galleries and received countless awards and recognitions for his revered talent. The incredible week capped off with a series of art talks including Palm Beach native and former Andy Warhol muse "Baby" Jane Holzer being interviewed by art historian and noted artist Bruce Helander. "It's always a thrill to be asked to moderate a historic conversation with such a legendary figure such as 'Baby' Jane Holzer. And, indeed the discussion that I had with her during ArtPalmBeach was an unforgettable occasion," said Helander. "The title, 'The Legacy of Andy Warhol' seemed particularly appropriate because of the concurrent exhibition at the nearby Norton Museum of Art and the number of Warhol works on display at ArtPalmBeach." Other panel discussions addressed "Kinetic Sculptures – Art in Motion" from The International Sculpture Center and "Public Sculpture in Art & Culture" from FIU's Frost Museum & Sculpture Park experts and presentations on contemporary photography; Korean art; video/new media/internet; new trends in art and design and the Palm Beach art revival.

Falmouth Residents Seek Cease & Desist Order on Town-owned Turbine
By: Brent Runyon
Published: 11/23/10
The town-owned wind turbine off Blacksmith Shop Road will have a full public hearing next week in which the Falmouth Zoning Board of Appeals will decide whether the turbine violates the town's own zoning bylaws.
The hearing is scheduled as part of the regular meeting of the board of appeals on Thursday, December 2, at Falmouth Town Hall beginning at 6:30 PM.
Barnstable attorney J. Alexander Watt appealed the decision of Falmouth Building and Zoning Commissioner Eladio R. Gore, who determined in September that the turbine does not violate the town's zoning bylaw.
Mr. Watt, who is representing Neil P. and Elizabeth L. Andersen of Blacksmith Shop Road, wrote in a letter to Mr. Gore that the turbine was never issued a special permit by the Falmouth Zoning Board of Appeals and should be shut down immediately.
Mr. Gore denied the request, stating that the town turbine is similar to other municipal projects such as water towers and reservoirs that are exempt from local zoning bylaws.
"I would further argue that a water tower, reservoirs, wind turbine or other municipal purpose would be considered by right uses, which would not require a special permit," Mr. Gore wrote.
Board of Appeals Chairman Matthew J. McNamara said that even if the board of appeals determines Mr. Gore's decision was incorrect, they do not have the power to issue a cease and desist order for the turbine.
It would be Mr. Gore, he said, who would have to issue such an order.
Attending the hearing and representing the town will be Mr. Gore, Town Planner Brian A. Currie, and Town Counsel Frank K. Duffy Jr., which indicates how serious the town takes this hearing, Mr. McNamara said.
Normally, when someone appeals the building commissioner's decision, no one represents the town, he said.
Mr. McNamara has said publicly that in his opinion the town should not have bypassed its own zoning bylaw for the turbine.
Asked if he felt he could be impartial at the hearing, Mr. McNamara said he could be, but he would consult with the rest of the board and Mr. Duffy to see if he should recuse himself before the hearing.
There will be no testimony about noise complaints at the hearing, Mr. McNamara said, because it is not relevant to the issue of whether the turbine complies with the zoning bylaw.
If the board were to decide that the turbine does not comply with the zoning bylaw, Mr. McNamara said the town could either appeal that decision, or apply for a special permit from the board of appeals.
1 Responses to "Falmouth Residents Seek Cease & Desist Order on Town-owned Turbine"
Opponents are invariably demonized as Nimby's, outsiders, non-resident taxpayers (in locales with seasonal residents), alarmists, a "vocal minority," global warming "denialists" and even, in our case, "vandals" and "the near lunatic fringe." As you know, this is how lawyers and politicians are taught to argue: if you don't have the facts on your side, you attack the credibility of your opponents. Change the debate from the issue at hand to the character of your opponent. The residents of Falmouth, Massachusetts are fortunate to have had so many dedicated and inquisitive residents in their midst who were willing to research the subject – and to take action to warn their neighbors, despite the negative blowback which they had to endure. Unfortunately, this seems to be an occupational hazard for anyone who dares to call attention to the fact that: a) these projects accomplish nothing useful in terms of reducing green house gas emissions; b) they are a blight upon the landscape and an environmental disaster for wildlife and human inhabitants, sowing misery and despair wherever they are installed; and c) they inevitably divide communities into bitter factions; and d) the tragic mistake of building them, once committed, is irreversible.

Ben Elliston just gave a great lunchtime talk at OzLabs on gdb. Ben has actually read the gdb manual, and in doing so has discovered a lot of neat tricks!
One that he missed in his talk is some cute stuff you can do with the p command (the short form for 'print'). For example, say you have some process that is sending its output to /dev/null, but you want to see that output. That can happen with long running daemons that were started without debugging enabled for example. What you need to do is tell that program to change file descriptor 1 to point to a file, instead of /dev/null.
Let's look at an example:
lsof -n |grep null|grep 1u gconfd-2 17243 tridge 1u CHR 1,3 5961 /dev/null
We see from lsof that gconfd-2 has pid of 17243 and is redirecting stdout (fd 1) to /dev/null. Now let's attach with gdb, close fd 1, and re-open it on a file in /tmp
tridge@blu:~$ gdb --pid 17243 GNU gdb 6.8-debian Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc. License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html> This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. Type "show copying" and "show warranty" for details. This GDB was configured as "x86_64-linux-gnu". Attaching to process 17243
ok, we're attached, now the dirty work:
(gdb) p close(1) $1 = 0 (gdb) p fopen("/tmp/gconfd.log", "w") $2 = 27041792 (gdb) p fileno($2) $6 = 1 (gdb) quit
Now if we check with lsof, we see the fd is now open on a log file
gconfd-2 17243 tridge 1u REG 8,1 0 12277473 /tmp/gconfd.log
You may ask why I used fopen() and not open(). First off, "w" is easier than remembering the right flag bits to open. Secondly, open may in fact be open64 or some other symbol, whereas I've found that fopen() always seems to work.
Notice also that I checked that fopen() gave us the right file descriptor back by calling fileno() on the output of fopen(). It will always give you the lowest available fd, which is usually right. If it isn't the right one then use p with dup2() to move it to the right one.
Another use
This type of hack can also be used to solve the problem of unmounting a filesystem that has a process running with a file open on the filesystem read-write. The kernel doesn't allow that, and the usual approach is to kill off all those processes. But what if you don't want one of those processes to die? You can use the above trick to move the fd to point at a different filesystem. By using lsof to find all the ones you need to move, you can eventually mount the filesystem read-only, or even unmount it. This allows you to swap filesystems with running processes using them. You can minimise the effect on the processes by using gdb -x to script it (so it isn't paused waiting for nervous fingers to type the right commands).

Jeter Joins 3,000-Hit Club With Homer
NEW YORK (KTLA) -- Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter homered in his second at-bat Saturday versus the Tampa Bay Rays, making him the 28th player in Major League history -- and first player in pinstripes -- to join the exclusive 3,000-hit club.
Jeter hit a first-inning bouncing single between the shortstop and and thrid baseman for hit number 2,999. Then, in the bottom of the third inning, with one out and a full count, Rays southpaw David Price threw a breaking ball low and inside to Jeter, whose inside-out swing deposited the pitch in Yankee Stadium's left field bleachers.
The Yankees captain, not known for his power-hitting, delivered in style with a high shot that carried well into the stands in left-center, igniting a thunderous roar and a rush of team mates toward home plate.
The record-setting blast was Jeter's third home run of the season and his first at Yankee Stadium in 286 at-bats, since he connected in a July 2010 game against Kansas City.
When the 37-year-old Jeter touched home, he was first hugged by long-time team mate Jorge Posada, who like Jeter has been a member of five World Series title teams in the pinstripes.
The game was delayed while his mates took turns congratulating him before the shortstop saluted the cheering fans and finally returned to the dugout.
He added three more hits on the day, making it the third time he's hit safely five times in a single game.
Jeter is the 28th player to join the 3,000-hit club. All of his hits have come as a Yankee, making him the 11th member of the esteemed group to have collected all his hits for a single team.
He returned to the Yankees lineup Monday after missing 21 days with a right calf strain, became the first major leaguer to reach the 3,000-mark since Craig Biggio did it with the Houston Astros in June 2007.
Jeter became the fourth youngest player to reach the milestone, behind only Ty Cobb (34), Hank Aaron (36) and Robin Yount (36).Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Combating Sibling Rivalry: Tips for Peace and Affection
It's going to happen, so you might as well be prepared. Even between toddler and preschooler, combating sibling rivalry can feel like the biggest part of your parenting day. Here are a few simple tips, mind-sets actually, to create peace between toddler and preschooler and maybe instill a sense of camaraderie and affection.
Developmental Differences
This might be a great time to freshen up on development expectations, if you haven't already done so. After all, siblings are individuals with unique needs. Especially for toddlers, asserting their will and physicality is a new, and fun, concept. Preschoolers understand societal norms, like sharing and not hitting. Your parental expectations should be dependant on developmental factors specific to your individual child.
Model Your Expectations
Never discount your influence on a child's negative behaviors. If your preschooler is shouting or name calling, look to your own communication skills for reasons why. Modeling healthy ways to resolve conflict, whether with your spouse or sibling, will positively impact the way your children will. Modeling family unity and togetherness also helps to show your preschooler that team work and compromise is something that even adults have to work at.
Promote Team Work
As parents, we understand the developmental stages of toddlerhood. Your preschooler, however, could care less. Promote team work and camaraderie in your preschooler by asking them to model a behavior or skill for the youngest. Solicit their expertise in, say, shape sorting, and when the toddler achieves success, congratulate your preschooler for a job well taught.
Land the Helicopter—Don't Hover
As fun as it sounds, resist the urge to constantly interject when an argument ensues. Provided no one is about to get hurt, playing referee between your toddler and preschooler guarantees winner and loser characteristics that can linger much longer the argument. In fact, since the core of sibling rivalry is rooted in parental attention, if you feel comfortable, remove yourself from the immediate surroundings entirely and see if they can figure it out.
Don't Give In
Sure, giving in to toddler's wants is the quickest way to reduce the barrage of noise, but "just give it to him" isn't a viable method of conflict resolution. Constantly pacifying the baby creates victimized, rescued child dynamics. Mix it up by diverting your toddler's attention to a new toy. Set the oldest up for play out of reach, say at the kitchen table or another room. Realize that being a good sibling doesn't always mean giving in.
State Your Family Values
To combat sibling rivalry, your family has to honor something else. Be it politeness, assertiveness, personal space, sympathy or a combination of it all, your kids (no matter what their age) won't know what you value unless you tell them. Even young toddlers can benefit from consistent reinforcement of the family values, and certainly your preschooler will appreciate that too. "Speak with kindness", "Use your big kid voice", "Hands to yourself" are all statements that assert your family values.
Be the Coach
Coaches give instruction and create game plans, but they also offer pep talks. Coach your preschooler on using better words to describe their emotions. By coaching them on how to negotiate and compromise, while helping them understand their siblings' limitations in communication, etc, you're setting up a play by play that is destined to benefit their bond well into adulthood.
Slow it Down
At such different stages, sometimes our youngest needs the pace to slow down a bit so that they can catch up. Whether it is during play or conversation, toddlers can feel left out too. Slow down the environment, giving baby ample time to maneuver the toy or word, while quietly recalling when your oldest was a baby. Kids love to hear about themselves, and realizing that they were a baby needing extra time can create empathy.
One vs. One
Sibling rivalry is, at its core, about attention. There is a resource that is obviously less scarce (your time) and the competition for it is fierce. Carve out moments of one-on-one attention with each child, being truly focused on their individuality. All other efforts to create sibling peace in your household can be diminished without a reward system in place. And the ultimate reward for any kid is special time with the people they love most.
Make Your Message Limitless
You love your kids with everything you have, so make sure they know it! While your time is scarce, your love is not. Tell them, frankly, that the love you have for them can't expire and doesn't run out. Send messages that your love is limitless, competition is fruitless and that watching their bond flourish is what makes you truly happy.

EPA Proposed Rule on Medical Waste Incinerators and New Stationary Sources
In October 2009, the EPA adopted amendments to its 1997 new source performance standards and emissions guidelines for hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerators in response to a 1999 remand of its 1997 hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerators regulations by a federal appeals court. EPA proposes amendments to implement the amended emission guidelines adopted October 2009 for states that do not have an approved revised/new state plan implementing the emission guidelines, as amended, in place by October 6, 2011. This action also proposes to amend the new source performance standards to better reflect our original intent in the October 6, 2009, final rule in eliminating an exemption during startup, shutdown and malfunction periods from the requirement to comply with standards at all times. Comments are due June 7, 2012. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-04-23/html/2012-9093.htm

Josaphat Kuntsevych, O.S.B.M., (c. 1580 – 12 November 1623) (Belarusian: Язафат Кунцэвіч, Jazafat Kuncevič, Polish: Jozafat Kuncewicz, Ukrainian: Йосафат Кунцевич, Josafat Kuntsevych) was a monk and archeparch (archbishop) of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, who died at Vitebsk in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (now in Belarus), on 12 November 1623, killed by a mob of Orthodox Christians. He has been declared a martyr and saint of the Catholic Church.
Early life[edit]
He was born Ioann (John) Kuntsevych in 1580 or 1584 in the city of Volodymyr in the province of Volhynia, then part of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, now in Ukraine. His birth occurred while the Ruthenian Church was nominally unified. It had belonged to the Russian Orthodox Church, but in 1596 come under the authority of the pope through the Union of Brest.
Although of noble Belarusian descent (szlachta, Kuncewicz family), his father had embarked in business, and held the office of town-councilor. Both of Kuntsevych's parents encouraged religious participation and Christian piety in the young John. In the school at Volodymyr he gave evidence of unusual talent; he applied himself to the study of the Church Slavonic language, and learned almost the entire horologion by heart, which from this period he began to read daily. From this source he drew his early religious education, because the clergy seldom preached or gave catechetical instruction in that period.
Owing to the straitened financial circumstances of his parents, Kuntsevych was apprenticed to a merchant named Papovič in Vilnius. In this Polish-Lithuanian city, divided through the contentions of the various religious sects, he became acquainted with men, such as Josyf Veliamyn Rutsky, who supported the recent union with Rome, and under whose direction he furthered his interest in the Catholic Church.
Monk and archbishop[edit]
In 1604, in his early 20s, Kuntsevych entered the Monastery of the Trinity of the Basilian monks in Vilnius, at which time he was given the religious name of Josaphat. Stories of his sanctity rapidly spread and distinguished people began to visit the young monk. After a notable life as a layman, Rutsky also joined the Order. When Josaphat was ordained to the diaconate, his regular services and labor for the Church had already begun. As a result of his efforts, the number of novices to the Order steadily increased, and under Rutsky—who had meanwhile been ordained a priest—there began the revival of Eastern Catholic monastic life among the Ruthenians (Belarusians and Ukrainians). In 1609, after private study under Jesuit priest Blessed Peter Faber, Josaphat was ordained a priest by a Catholic bishop. He subsequently became the hegumen (prior) of several monasteries. On November 12, 1617, he was consecrated as the bishop of the Eparchy of Vitebsk (possibly a titular see created for him), and coadjutor for the Archeparchy of Polotsk. He succeeded as archeparch in March 1618.[1]
Kuntsevych faced a daunting task of bringing the local populace to accept union with Rome. He faced stiff opposition from the monks, who feared the Latinization of the liturgy of the Church. As archeparch, he restored the churches: he issued a catechism to the clergy, with instructions that it should be learned by heart; composed rules for the priestly life, entrusting to the deacons the task of superintending their observance; assembled synods in various towns in the dioceses, and firmly opposed the Polish Imperial Chancellor Sapieha who wished to make too many concessions to the Eastern Orthodox. Throughout all his strivings and all his occupations, he continued his religious devotion as a monk, and never abated his desire for self-mortification. Through all this he was successful in winning over a large portion of the people.[2]
Kuntsevych's activity provoked a strong reaction. A rival hierarchy was set up by the Orthodox Church, with the monk Meletius Smotrytsky being appointed the Orthodox Archeparch of Polotsk. Smotrytsky publicly claimed that Josaphat was preparing a total Latinization of the Church and its rituals.[2] The inhabitants of Mogilev revolted against Kuntsevych in October 1618 and chased him out of the city. Kuntsevych then complained to King Sigismund who brutally suppressed the Orthodox revolt—all leaders of the revolt were executed, including Bohdan Sobol, the father of Spiridon Sobol, while all Orthodox churches were taken away and given to the Greek-Catholics.[3][4]
The suppression caused Kuntsevych to be even more fiercely resisted by the Orthodox. A rival hierarchy was set up by the Orthodox Church, with the monk Meletius Smotrytsky being appointed the Orthodox Archeparch of Polotsk. Smotrytsky publicly claimed that Josaphat was preparing a total Latinization of the Church and its rituals. The inhabitants of Mogilev revolted against him in October 1618 and chased him out of the city. Kuntsevych then sent a complaint to King Sigismund and the Orthodox revolt was brutally suppressed. All leaders of the revolt were executed, including Bohdan Sobol, the father of Spiridon Sobol, while all Orthodox churches were taken away and given to the Greek-Catholics.[citation needed]
During November 1623, despite warnings, he went to Vitebsk. There, on November 12, the Orthodox sent to his residence a priest who stood in the courtyard of his house shouting insults at him. Archbishop Josaphat had the priest taken away and confined to his house. In response, the town bell was rung, which summoned a mob.[2] The mob attacked the archbishop's residence, and in the course of the attack an axe-stroke and a bullet ended his life. His body was tossed into the river. It was recovered and honored—eventually transported to Rome and given the honor of burial within St. Peter's Basilica.[2] In response to the murder, the Government executed about 100 people,and town hall and church bells were removed.
As a boy Kuntsevych was said to have shunned the usual games of childhood, prayed much, and lost no opportunity to assist at the Church services. Children especially regarded him with affection. As an apprentice, he devoted every leisure hour to prayer and study. At first Papovič viewed this behavior with displeasure, but Josaphat gradually won such a position in his esteem, that Papovič offered him his entire fortune and his daughter's hand. But Josaphat's love for the religious life never wavered.
Kuntsevych's favourite devotional exercise was the traditional Eastern monastic practice of making prostrations, in which the head touches the ground, while saying the Jesus Prayer: 'Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.' Never eating meat, he fasted much, wore a hair shirt and a chain around his waist. He slept on the bare floor, and chastised his body until the blood flowed. The Jesuits frequently urged him to set some bounds to his austerities.
From Kuntsevych's zealous study of the Slavonic-Byzantine liturgical books he drew many proofs of Catholic doctrine, using his knowledge in the composition of several original works — On the Baptism of St. Volodymyr; On the Falsification of the Slavic Books by the Enemies of the Metropolitan; On Monks and their Vows. Throughout his adult life, he was distinguished by his extraordinary zeal in performing the Church services and by extraordinary devotion during the Divine Liturgy. Not only in the church did he preach and hear confessions, but likewise in the fields, hospitals, prisons, and even on his personal journeys. This zeal, united with his kindness for the poor, won great numbers of Orthodox Ruthenians for the Catholic faith and Catholic unity. Among his converts were included many important personages such as Patriarch Ignatius, former Patriarch of Moscow, and Manuel Kantakouzenos, who belonged to the imperial family of the Byzantine Emperor Palaeologus.
After numerous miracles attributed to Kuntsevych were claimed and reported to Church officials, a commission was appointed by Pope Urban VIII in 1628 to start inquire for his possible canonization, for which they examined under oath 116 witnesses. Although five years had elapsed since Josaphat's death, his body was claimed to still be incorrupt. In 1637, a second commission investigated his life and, in 1643, twenty years after his death, Josaphat was beatified. He was canonized on June 29, 1867 by Pope Pius IX.[5]
The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church keeps his feast day on the first Sunday after November 12. (This Church uses the Julian Calendar, whose November 12 now corresponds to the Gregorian Calendar November 25.) When, in 1867, Pope Pius IX inserted his feast into the General Roman Calendar, it was assigned to November 14, which was the first free day after November 12, which was then occupied by the feast of "Saint Martin I, Pope and Martyr." In Pope Paul VI's 1969 revision of the calendar, this latter feast was moved to Pope Saint Martin's dies natalis (birthday to heaven), and Saint Josaphat's feast was moved to that date, his own dies natalis.[6] Some Traditionalist Catholics continue to observe the General Roman Calendar of 1954, the General Roman Calendar of Pope Pius XII, or the General Roman Calendar of 1960, in which the feast day is on November 12.

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – With his proposed gun regulations in serious jeopardy, President Obama delivered an impassioned and urgent plea Monday evening for swift action, telling a state still shaken by the Newtown school massacre, We've got to expect more from Congress.
The call for stricter gun laws – his most forceful yet – came in a campaign-style event in front of several thousand people packed into the University of Hartford's basketball arena. Obama recalled December's slaughter of 20 small children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School as the toughest day of his presidency. If we don't respond to this, he added, that will be a tough day for me, too.
We've got to expect more from ourselves, he continued. And we've got to expect more from Congress. We've got to believe that, you know, well, every once in a while we set politics aside and we just do what's right.
Obama, who met before his speech with parents of slain children, also vowed not to forget the Connecticut slayings. He wore a green bracelet, while many in the audience wore green ribbons, honoring the school's colors.
The entreaty came as one of the nation's most committed gun-control proponents, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, also prepared to ratchet up pressure on lawmakers with a new plan to grade them based on their votes on gun issues.
The Bloomberg-financed Mayors Against Illegal Guns will launch a scoring system Tuesday to award lawmakers grades of A through F, much like the National Rifle Association's use of rankings deployed against politicians at election time, according to details of the plan obtained by the Washington Post.
The developments come at the start of a potentially decisive week for Obama's agenda to toughen the nation's gun laws, with the Senate beginning to debate the proposals.
The president ticked through each of them during his Hartford speech, including universal background checks and bans on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. He also upbraided Senate Republicans for threatening to block a vote on the proposals. All of them are common sense, Obama said. All of them deserve a vote.
The crowd cheered so loudly it was difficult at times to hear the president's remarks. At one point, people interrupted Obama with chants of We want a vote!
If our democracy's working the way it's supposed to and 90 percent of the American people agree on something, in the wake of a tragedy you'd think this would not be a heavy lift, Obama said.
And yet some folks back in Washington are already floating the idea that they may use political stunts to prevent votes on any of these reforms.
A growing coalition of Senate Republicans, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has warned it would filibuster gun legislation, meaning any bill would require a plurality of 60 votes to pass, rather than a simple majority.
Obama, Bloomberg and other gun-control proponents are trying anew this week to translate popular support for proposals such as background checks for all gun buyers into legislative momentum on Capitol Hill.

A Philadelphia muralist and her daughters have made it their mission to improve the lives of girls in Tanzania. And they are doing it through the power of art!
Meg Saligman ventured to Tanzania with her daughters, 17-year-old Lindsay and 12-year-old Nina, to paint a mural on a water tower on the Tanzanian school's grounds.
The mural depicts the importance of water in the lives of the people there. Saligman is using the project to launch an art curriculum at the school. Her goal is to create a space for creativity, critical thinking and self-affirmation.
The Philadelphia-based non-profit Nurturing Minds harbors a strong support for the school, and has sent a number of Philly natives to spend time there.
Saligman's family spent five weeks in Tanzania, working with the Secondary Education for Girls Advancement School to create the mural.
During the day, everyone worked together to paint the mural. The girls painted together, talked to each other, and even learned some Swahili.
The Saligmans documented their experiences with photos, videos and a blog.
When asked what surprised her the most, Lindsay said, "Life there is more difficult than the life I'm accustomed to. Despite living a life with so many challenges, how dedicated the people we met there were to making us happy, rather than worrying about their own problems, of which there are millions."
