PM ready to think again about EU membership if states turn 'deaf ear' to calls
David Cameron is to warn other European Union leaders that he is ready to think again about Britain's membership of the 28-nation bloc if they turn a "deaf ear" to his calls for reform.
The Prime Minister, who will this week formally set out demands in a letter to European Council president Donald Tusk, will say he is ready to campaign to stay in the EU "with all my heart and all my soul" - but only if the terms are right.
The publication of his letter on Tuesday will mark the start of the detailed renegotiations of Britain's membership - the result of which will be put to the country in an in/out referendum to be held before the end of 2017.
The Prime Ministe will say he is ready to campaign to stay in the EU "with all my heart and all my soul" - but only if the terms are right
In his speech, to accompany the release of the letter, Mr Cameron will seek to turn up the pressure on EU leaders while demonstrating to sceptical Tory MPs he is prepared to walk away if he is not able to get the changes he wants.
"If we can't reach such an agreement, and if Britain's concerns were to be met with a deaf ear, which I do not believe will happen, then we will have to think again about whether this European Union is right for us. As I have said before - I rule nothing out," he will say.
The Prime Minister will insist he has "every confidence" that it is possible for the negotiations to deliver an agreement which works both for Britain and its EU partners.
"If and when we do so, as I said three years ago, I will campaign to keep Britain inside a reformed European Union - campaign for it with all my heart and all my soul, because that will be unambiguously in our national interest," he will say.
Mr Cameron will struggle to convince hard line Eurosceptics among his own MPs - some of whom are expected to campaign for Britain to leave when the referendum finally comes.
Mr Cameron will use his speech to challenge both those who are determined to stay and those who are set on leaving in the run up to the campaign.
"Those who believe we should stay in the EU at all costs need to explain why Britain should accept the status quo. I am clear that there are real problems with this," he will say.
"There are some economic risks if we allow a situation where eurozone countries could potentially spend our money, or where European regulations hold back our ability to trade and create jobs. And there are also significant risks if we allow our sovereignty to be eroded by ever closer union, or sit by and do nothing about the unsustainable rate of migration into our country.
"But just as those who are advocating staying in the EU at all costs have to answer serious questions, so those who think Britain should just leave now also need to think hard about the implications of their arguments.
"What would being outside the European Union mean for our economic security? And what does it mean for our national security?"
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

I had a little problem with the theme since I have no single rubberstamp matching this theme...uuups.
I found a catalogue from a hardware store amongst my advertising mail and thought that could be my rescue.
So I glued some of this junkmail - paper as a background - layered one coat of Acrylic Ground for Pastels ( by Golden) - I think clear gesso would make the same effect - over it and so I was able to wipe hard pastel crayons to color and customize my background. The two little MOOs are made to open like a door and to hide a saying I created by using different parts of different rubberstamp -sentiments .
I gave then after I sprayed fixative ( that is was the pastel crayons need to stay permanent) a layer of white schoolglue over the whole piece and dried with my heat gun... this gave a great shiny finish to all and workes a bit like crackle medium you can't see the crackled texture very well, but on the bottom of the tag you will notice the bubbles - that is the bonus of using a heat gun - this cool bubble effect. The whole time I made this tag I thought of my favourite home improver, my dear husband - so this tag is just for him. I scribbled a not clearly visible love letter for him on the little MOO- construction with white gelpen and set a few highlights with this pen and white crayon too. I know my darling will be happy about this little gift from me. He is one of my biggest fans. Every time I show a new art piece of mine to him I hear: "The best you ever made" lol!

- "But you're Muggles! We must have a drink! What's that you've got there? Oh, you're changing Muggle money. Molly, look!"
- —Arthur Weasley upon meeting the Grangers[src]
Granger is the surname of a Muggle family that must have some distant magical blood. Member Hermione is a Muggle-born witch and her children, Rose and Hugo Granger-Weasley are half-bloods.
Family history
Hermione's parents are both dentists and are accepting of the wizarding world and proud of her accomplishments.[1] In 1997, Hermione modified their memories so that they believed they were Wendell and Monica Wilkins and moved to Australia in order to protect them from Death Eaters.[2] After the Second Wizarding War ended, she found them and reversed the charm.
The Grangers are related by marriage to the wizarding Weasley, Prewett, Potter, Black, Delacour, and Johnson families.[3]
Family members
Main family
|Hector Dagworth-Granger (possible relative)
|A wizard who could possibly be a distant relative of Hermione Granger.
|Mr Granger
|Muggle dentists, parents of Hermione Granger.
|Mrs Granger

|Ronald Billius Weasley
|Husband of Hermione and father of Rose and Hugo.

The surname Granger is derived from grange, a term for a barn or farm with buildings that store grain, thus 'granger' is a term for a farm bailiff. Also, "Granger" is a term for a member of the Grange Movement of the United States, which involved agricultural activism in the nineteenth century, possibly alluding to Hermione Granger's activism on behalf of house-elves.
Behind the scenes
- J. K. Rowling has revealed that at one time, she had planned for Hermione to have a younger sister[4]. This sister was going to be a Muggle[5].
- It is possible that the Granger family are related to Hector Dagworth-Granger seeing as all muggle-borns have a trace of wizarding ancestry.
- J. K. Rowling has also revealed that in her earliest draft of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone the Granger family lived on the shore from the Potter family (who lived on an island) and it would be Mr Granger that would notice an explosion on the island and sail to it and pick up baby Harry Potter.[6]
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Arthur Weasley is seen talking to Hermione's parents. While the line is quite soft, Mr Weasley comments "I understand other Muggles are quite afraid of you." Since Hermione's parents are both dentists, this comment refers to that common Muggle phobia.
- The Granger family is very similar to the Evans family. Originally a muggle family, until a female member (Hermione and Lily Evans) became a muggle-born witch. The witch married a pure-blood man, (Ron Weasley and James Potter I) and have children, one of them a son (Rose and Hugo Weasley, Harry Potter).
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Mr and Mrs Granger are played by Tom Knight and Heather Bleasdale, respectively.
- In the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Mrs Granger is played by Michelle Fairley, and Mr Granger is played by Ian Kelly.
- Even though Hermione is a main character, her family wasn't explored like Harry's and Ron's. Rowling stated that this was because Hermione's parents were too boring to go into detail about.[citation needed]

Remember This: Male Singers Part 2
Did you enjoy my trip down memory lane? Here are some more guys I am bringing back into the spotlight:
Paul Young
British soul singer Paul Young had the biggest hit of his career with his take on a song from Hall & Oates.
Essential songs: Everytime You Go Away, Come Back and Stay
Howard Jones

Essential songs: Things Can Only Get Better, No One Is to Blame
Kenny Loggins
For a while this guy was the go-to singer for movie soundtracks in the 1980's. And this was after his success with Jim Messina in the 70's.
Essential songs: Footloose, I'm Alright, Danger Zone
One of hottest singer, songwriter and producers of the 90's and beyond. He has written and produced for Toni Braxton, Bobby Brown and more. Plus had hits on his own too.
Essential songs: Whip Appeal, It's No Crime
Bobby Brown
He first came to prominence in the group New Edition, but after his 2nd album he was a star on his own. Lots of attitude and swagger… he owes a lot of his success to his songwriters and producers.
Essential songs: Don't Be Cruel, My Prerogative
Billy Ocean
Equally adept at dance songs and ballads, this singer from Trinidad, had a good run of catchy songs.
Essential songs: Caribbean Queen, Get Out of My Dreams (Get into My Car)
Rick Astley
He looked like an Archie comic, but sang like a soul star. Thanks to the production team of Stock Aitken Waterman, he became a worldwide sensation.

This British soul singer definitely made a name for himself . First with his songs, second for who he married and divorced (Heidi Klum).

T. Denny Sanford Donates $28 Million to National University System
National University System, a private nonprofit system comprised of university and education-related affiliates, has announced a $28 million gift from South Dakota businessman T. Denny Sanford in support of its efforts to improve teacher education, pre-K-12 instruction, and nonprofit fundraising.
The largest gift in the 46-year-history of the system will support an expansion of three Sanford-backed initiatives — Sanford Harmony, Sanford Inspire, and the Sanford Institute of Philanthropy. Developed at Arizona State University's T. Denny Sanford School of Social and Family Dynamics, Sanford Harmony is a pre-K-6 social-emotional learning program that promotes positive peer interactions and communication among boys and girls. Created in collaboration with ASU and Teach for America and incorporated into the teacher education curriculum at National University's Sanford College of Education, Sanford Inspire provides pre-K-12 teachers with video training modules dedicated to research-based teaching methodologies as well as tools for creating inspiring classroom environments.
Since it was established by Sanford at NU, the Sanford Institute of Philanthropy has developed a curriculum based on "cause selling," a fundraising approach blending the passion of philanthropy with an emphasis on proven business principles, to boost the impact of nonprofit organizations. To that end, NU will support an expansion of a network of affiliated institutes at universities around the country.
"Helping others is what this is all about, and it's why I'm so pleased to recognize the remarkable impacts these three programs are having nationwide," said Sanford. "What started out as a dream is now a reality, and to me the greatest gift of all is being able to see for myself how these programs are strengthening our communities and helping children succeed in school and life."

This interactive will guide you through the process of analyzing historical artifacts. You can apply the same methods that historians use to evaluate everyday items—from dishes, to clothing, to weapons. This process allows you to examine an artifact, recognize significant information, and consider what that data can tell you about the past.
Historians assess five key aspects of an artifact when studying the past.
Studying historical artifacts can help make history seem more real and relevant to students, and creates a connection with the past that is sometimes difficult to get from books alone.

Paramount, CBS chairman Sumner Redstone honored on Walk of Fame
March 30 - Media mogul Sumner Redstone honored with star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in connection with the 100th anniversary of the founding of Paramount Pictures. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) Sumner Redstone, the 88-year-old chairman of CBS Corporation and Viacom, received the 2,467th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday (March 30). He received the honor in connection with the 100th anniversary of the founding of Paramount Pictures, which is now owned by Viacom. Born May 27, 1923, in Boston, the Harvard-educated Redstone was initially a lawyer, including serving as a special assistant to the attorney general. In 1954, Redstone joined the movie theater company founded by his father Michael, National Amusements, Inc., becoming its chief executive officer and president in 1967 and chairman of the board in 1986, a position he continues to hold. Redstone won voting control of Viacom, the owner of the MTV and Nickelodeon cable channels, and a leading television syndicator, in 1987 following a hostile takeover. "I must tell you that the trip, the journey from my living at that time, to this miraculous event was tortuous, it was long," said Redstone. "Sometimes it was hard for me, sometimes it was difficult. But it was always exciting, it was always a happy thing for me." Viacom acquired Paramount Communications in 1993 and merged with CBS in 2000. CBS and Viacom were separated into two publicly traded companies in 2006, with Redstone remaining chairman of both. Among the other properties under the twinned banners are MTV, VH1, Comedy Central and Dreamworks. Other media moguls who have stars on the Walk of Fame include Ted Turner, the late Walt Disney and the late Lew Wasserman.

We all want to be extra-ordinary but unlike Neo, we keep choosing the blue pill and "the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe". How about once, just once, we let ourselves see just how deep the rabbit hole goes.
(Half of you are rolling your eyes while the other half is smiling and pressing their noses to the screen- my people)
Pale skin and blue eyes did not stop this man from entering rap battles and crushing them until Dr. Dre found his cassettes and made him immortal. The world coated his albums with layers of platinum as the Marshal Mathers LP became the fastest selling album in rap history. His music was creative and unapologetic, and I fell for it like a ton of bricks; emotional catharsis, narcotic lyrics, hypnotic beats…polite society be damned. Eminem always had a tough time getting accepted into the black hip-hop scene. He's been called a wigger, a culture stealer, even a rap Hitler. He did not shy away from that debate, but engages it through his music. He accounted for his Whiteness without being apologetic about it, and that's what makes him a real gangsta in my books.
It turns out that being yourself is the most radical thing you can do.
If you think cartoons are for kids, let me prevail upon you. You weren't ready for Japanese animation.
The oldest shaman in the wisest village cannot hold a candle to the lessons of strength and pursuit of dreams like anime. You will die a thousand deaths and crawl back for more. Blockbusters like The Matrix, Inception and Ghost In The Shell draw heavily from it. Industries have risen and fallen because of it. Anime does to your imagination what butter does for your toast, Lion King did to your childhood and Viagra can supposedly do for your sex life (I'm serious: you're not ready). Don't worry, it's mostly PG-13…mostly.
Ahem. Lesson. We're going to learn from an animated character here, guys, so clutch your pearls.
Wielding the three-sword style, this character vows to become the best swordsman in the world. Every day, he pushes his mind and body to the limit and every day he is not satisfied with his effort. Countless battles have rendered his body bruised and battered but his back does not have a single scar because he never runs from a fight. If this guy were in the real world, his black belt would absorb light.
The truly gangsta part about him is this: whenever praised, he shrugs and says:
(ore ni wa kankei nai)
Translation: That has nothing to do with me.
Women In Space
Have you watched Hidden Figures yet?
The idea of black women in the turbulent 60s as active contributors to the NASA space program was unheard of, even to me. I had no clue these women were some of the legendary engineers, analysts and mathematicians ('computers') who calculated flight trajectories for Americans to travel in space and to the moon. Racism and prejudice forced them to become pioneers because no one was willing to give them a seat at the table. They had to fight for every chance they got. Mercury 13 is another film that also highlights a robust bunch of female pilots who underwent rigorous testing only to be "asked to step aside as only men are selected for spaceflight."
Don't let other crabs in the bucket drag you down with their sameness and safe limits. The difference between a pioneer and the rest of us is that pioneers don't choose to be radical. They just play their own game, regardless of what that means for everyone else. They choose the red pill because it is who they are.
So be you. Do you. And let everything else can burn because it has absolutely nothing to do with you.
Krish Vignarajah, originally from Sri Lanka, is currently running for governor in Maryland, U.S.A. She's the only candidate who has worked at the White House. She's also the only immigrant on the field and the only woman on the ballot. She gets racist and sexists comments every single day. The truly gangsta part about her is this: when people say to her, "You don't look the part," she replies:
This is what the part looks like.
And that, boys and girls, is the true definition of a gangsta.

The fatuous injunction to live life to the fullest, to take nothing for granted, to live as though each day were your last, is nothing more than an invitation to a heightened form of sentimentality on the one hand, and on the other, an acknowledgment that the lives we already lead are oppressive, confining and soul-destroying; that the labor we undertake, the routines we must follow, are a kind of prison sentence; and that only by making the effort of a conscious, and indeed, violent, break with that routinized existence can we begin to remember what it is to be capable of absorbing our own experience.
As a poet, I humbly submit that I am already living my life to the fullest. Absorbing experience and re-directing it through language is what I do. "Life to the fullest" is an expression, anyway, that begs for some further examination. Is it a consumerist model of experience that is being promoted here? To live life to the fullest means first admitting that life as it is now is dreadfully and scandalously empty. Hence, the soteriological function of terminal disease as a redemptive trope.
Case in point: the fawning press coverage of "The Last Lecture," and its the tiresome doling out of the injunction to "live every day to the fullest."
While this effort to recapture some meaningful form of experience from the iron cage of the matrix is laudable, it begs the question: what do we mean by "full living"? Is it intensity, untrammeled, the unmediated thing in itself? Is it the recovery of experience from the domain of regulated behavior? What would that even look like? The valorization of full living presumes some primal originary space where the bourgeois subject can throw off the chain of reification and participate in some oceanic sense of self that is mysteriously a-historical. It is the final expression of the ideology of self-actualization. Nowhere is this better attested to than in the current vogue in adverts for My-ness. "My body, my biography." My-ness becomes the trope par excellence for self-consumption and the reification of the perfectible subject.
"Living to the fullest" means: forget that you are constituted from without. Yet the desire to get outside is real and should be honored as genuine resistance. If only it were that simple. As Bunting says: "It easier to die than to remember."

Nick Cave's Soundsuit Installation Images
Nick Cave made the first garment-sculptures we know as Soundsuits in 1991 in response to the now-infamous amateur video of the racial profiling and beating of Rodney King by Los Angeles police officers. The violent footage had a transformative and emotional impact on Cave. The soundsuits became a way for him to condition his spirit against adversity and to form a "second skin" of protection.
Over the years Cave has continued to push for even more meaning, complexity, and extravagance. The differing—often opposing—front and back of the sculptures represent a kind of double identity in Cave's work that illustrates his interest in our ability to "step out of ourselves." Built from found objects, the Soundsuits also become a mirror of our culture's excess. The once-discarded surplus of society is transformed into objects of desire and human proportion.
Nick Cave: Sojourn is a special ticketed exhibition on view June 9-September 22, 2013.
Nick Cave: Sojourn is organized by the Denver Art Museum. The exhibition is made possible through the significant support of Vicki and Kent Logan, U.S. Bank, and PB&K Family Foundation. Additional funding is provided by the generous donors to the Annual Fund Leadership Campaign and the citizens who support the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). Promotional support is provided by 5280 Magazine, CBS4, and The Denver Post.

I'm having one of those days today where I feel cheated. I feel like my life has been robbed by this IC. And I'm feeling like why me? I had plans, I had ambitions, and IC has taken them all and made them into nothing. It's true I've made new plans and have new ambitions but sometimes it's so hard to let go of the old ones. The IC couldn't have hit me at a worst time in my life. I had my life with my friends, I was living in a good place, I had a good roommate, I had the perfect job. My dream job, I had finally got the job I wanted so much. Then my IC got so bad and I had to go on disability. I'm now on permanent disability, living with my parents because I can't totally take care of an apartment or household or myself for that matter right now. It just kills me that this has happened to me. I hate it that this has happened to me. IC takes your life away and ruins any plans you ever had. I had planned on getting married and having kids by this time in my life. Right now, the way my body is I know I couldn't carry a child right now. All I've ever wanted to be is a teacher, a mother, and a wife. All three of those things have been taken from me by IC. IC is a wicked evil disease that just takes from you emotionally, physically and destroys you from the inside out. I mean we can be strong as strong as we can be. Strong for our IC sisters and brothers, strong for our family and friends. Sometimes we need a strong shoulder to cry on, and an ear to listen. I have that in my family, friends and IC sisters, and this website, I'm fortunate. But sometimes there are things that are so hard to try and explain the way you feel, you just can't explain it to people in a way that would make sense to them. I've probably repeated myself a ton of times in this post, but I hope you get what I'm feeling and just know, when someone you know isn't acting totally right, like themselves, they might just need time to themselves to mull things over or they might need someone to listen.
I want to share with you a poem that came on a card my very best friend from college gave me. She's such a good friend she missed work for 2 days and came to see me when I was having my surgery. She's also told me that she tries to imagine the pain I go through, so she can understand what I'm going through better. She's my very best friend and a sister to me, she'll always be my sister, no matter where our lives take us. She gave me this card after I was home from my surgery. When I read this card I cried, and when I have days like this I read this card to remind me just how strong I am, and it explains things in such a good way that it will help all of you when you're having a why me, I feel cheated day.
"The Oak Tree"
A mighty wind blew night and day.
It stole the oak tree's leaves away,
Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark
Until the oak was tired and stark.
But still the oak tree held its ground
While other trees fell all around.
The weary wind gave up and spoke,
"How can you still be standing, Oak?"
The oak trees said, "I know that you
Can break each branch of mine in two,
Carry every leaf away,
Shake my limbs, and make me sway.
But I have roots stretched in the earth,
Growing stronger since my birth.
You'll never touch them, for you see,
They are the deepest part of me.
Until today, I wasn't sure
Of just how much I could endure.
But now I've found, and thanks to you,
I'm stronger then I ever knew."
Author not named
This poem helps me so much during my bad days. I hope that this poem will help you as well.

Week 1 Review | Week 2 Review | Week 3 Review | Week 4 Review | Week 5 Review
"If something seems like it's taking too much code to get it done, you are probably approaching the problem wrong and should look to built in systems to solve the problem first."
A mixed bag this week, I made major progress in the language management system. But I failed to meet the goals I set out for myself.
The take-away lesson here is a simple one for both new and experienced developers, if you allow yourself to slide in to a slower groove, you are doing an injustice to both the project and your personal development.
For this there is a price, and for me it will be to complete last weeks tasks and the new ones I will be adding to the stack this week.
Tools I used
- Xcode 8 IDE and compiler.
- Tower Git client.
- Ulysses Text editor
- iPad Pro For testing
Lessons Learned
Removing a single CoreData record was more code than I expected, the first part of my problem was thinking in conventional ways before realizing that I had to change my approach. A lesson here, if something seems like it's taking too much code to get it done, you are probably approaching the problem wrong and should look to built in systems to solve the problem first.
Last Weeks Checklist
Let's see how much of what I planned got done.
- Finish work on the language list management.
- Design / Plan a search and filtering system for notes.
- Provide options on the display order of notes.
Well, as you can see I did not complete my task list. I blame myself for this with no excuses, I should of made more time to complete the tasks. Therefore next week I have to pay the price and get last weeks tasks completed along with some new ones. I must hold myself accountable.
Next Steps
In the coming week, here is my planned progression.
- Complete last weeks tasks
- Start experimenting with search options for the note list, I expect the UI to take a few iterations.
Follow My Progress
You can follow my progress via the following
- Twitter: @CompileSwift
- Github: 100 Days of Code Repository
- Github: Application Repository
- Medium: Compile Swift Publication
- On my web site as I blog my weekly progress
The Wrap
If you are working on the #100DaysOfCode, I'd love to hear your thoughts and reports.

Fifty villages to be developed as tourism villages
Jammu, Mar 16 (UNI) The Jammu and Kashmir Government has identified 50 villages under rural tourism scheme for tourism development, the Deputy Chief Minister Muzaffar Hussain Baig has said.
Of these, The Central Government has sanctioned five villages in the first instance during 2005-06 with a cost of Rs 50 lakh for each village, said Mr Baig, who is also in-charge of the Tourism Department in reply to a question by Ghulam Nabi Lone in the Legislative Council yesterday.
The 50 villages chosen for tourism development by the Centre include Drung, Gagangir, Pahalgam, Surinsar and Jhiri.
He said the areas falling under various tourism authorities set up recently were to be notified shortly. Various villages and areas were being developed as tourist destinations under projects including rural tourism scheme, circuit development scheme, newly created development authorities and destination development schemes, he added.
Some of the criteria for identification of tourists' villages were accessibility, physical features, topographical diversity, natural beauty, cultural and natural attractions, fairs and festivals, handicraft skills and suitability for lengthier visitor stays, Mr Baig further informed.

DISABLED HOLIDAYS TO Fuerteventura with Can Be Done
Think of long, untouched beaches of white sand, set in a coastline bathed by the ocean with calm transparent water that invites you to relax in evocative intimacy. But Fuerteventura is not just about sun and beaches. In this island, declared a Biosphere Reserve, you can also appreciate other surprising landscapes, such as the extensive plains, which contrast with volcanoes and lava flows, or the impressive sand dunes, while the tiny, hidden fishing villages will reveal the secrets of their special flavours. In Fuerteventura you will see the oldest rocks of the archipelago, marine remains belonging to the period before the formation of the Canary Islands.
APARTHOTEL CASTILLO SAN JORGE & ANTIGUA – Caleta de Fueste, Fuerteventura
This Aparthotel is located in the Caleta de Fuste residential development, just 500 m from the town centre, which boasts several shopping and leisure centres.
HOTEL ELBA CARLOTA – Caleta de Fuste, Fuerteventura

Descriptions, photos, recipes & commentary of Life for a Texan who has lived both North & South of the Border.
Tuesday, December 18, 2007
Yes, Virginia...there is Cold Weather in Mexico at Chrismas!
We are in Torreon for a few days & I am bundling up to keep warm. I am putting on layers of extra clothing. I met Carolyn in the hotel lobby yesterday here at the Marriott Hotel amid the loudly playing Chrismas tunes & holiday decor. Music: too loud, Decorations: nice but quite different from home. While I was waiting for her I was blasted by cold air each time the door opened into the Lobby. I didn't bring nearly enough warm clothing for our little road trip to Torreon. I am feeling the "South of the Border Chill". The cold takes a while to get down here but it has cooled down considerably. Not chill by Alaska or Chicago standards but cold for my thinning blood....Brrrrr!!! (It was in the 30's yesterday morning, go ahead laugh but I am chilled to the bone here) Last night I actually ordered warm milk for a night cap~I am always willing to try something new when I am chilled to the bone & not at home:)

Subject: RE: Leventhal's challenge misses the point
From: Linda van den Brink <lvdbrink@xxxxxxx>
Date: Fri, 28 May 1999 16:32:10 +0200
I must protest to both of your interpretations to what I said. Firstly, I do not believe that non-programmers can't use XSL. I *am* a non-programmer (and the fact that I subscribe to this list doesn't change that) and I *have* learnt (well.. or am learning) to use XSL. Secondly, IMO it *would* matter if non-programmers couldn't use XSL. But it would not matter if not all people could learn to use it. Let me elaborate a bit. Why is it so important that everyone (every Web user?) can use XSL? Should every web designer be able to: - Write a consistent web of documents - design an attractive look for these documents when displayed online - design the proper navigation means so that any reader can travel through the web and find and access the information they need - maintain the documents in XML source - create the necessary images in a drawing application - create the means to generate the web of documents as designed, complete with layout and navigational features (for example, an XSL stylesheet) I think it would be hard to come by such (Renaissansistic) people. What's wrong with having a team of people who complement each other if you want to do professional electronic publishing, to the Web or otherwise? I'm off to enjoy my weekend now - nice talking to you!\ Linda -----Original Message----- From: Miles Sabin [mailto:msabin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, May 28, 1999 3:15 PM To: 'xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Cc: Nathan Langley Subject: RE: Leventhal's challenge misses the point Linda van den Brink wrote, > Maybe the solution there is to have teams of > specialists who do visual design and specialists who > take care of publication of (textual/other) source > adhering to this design. I've seen people who draw > their entire visual design of a web page in for > example paint shop pro, and then show this to a web > programmer who actually creates it for them. There's a couple of ways I can interpret this statement: 1. It doesn't matter if non-programmers can't use XSL: they were never the intended constituency anyway. or, 2. It does matter if non-programmers can't use XSL. Maybe they won't be able to (which is a shame), but there are workarounds. Either way, I think it's a bit of a problem. In fact, I think we're getting quite close to what I think is the chief defect of XSL. Despite what's said about it, it doesn't really separate data-model from presentation all that well ... that's why we'll probably end up with your scenario of designers using drawing packages and having to hand them over to programmers to implement. XML/XSL is a model-view type architecture. MV is good at breaking the dependency of data-models on presentation issues. Unfortunately it's very poor at separating presentation issues from the data model. That territory is handled quite nicely by the model-view-controller architecture: a data-model, a presentation model, and something which coordinates between the two. Translating that into the XML space we'd have something like: an XML data model (as now), an XML presentation model (maybe a skeletal FO document), and something that binds the two together (effectively an imperative script). Application programmers would focus on the data-model; designers would focus on the presentation model (supported by visual tools); and the glue would be done by a completely separate group ... perhaps they'd have to be programmer-designers, perhaps just programmers. Anyhow the upshot would be a clean separation of concerns and skill-sets.

Australia unveils military boost
May 3 - Australia announces plans for a major boost to its military air power. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION STORY: Australia announced a significant boost to its military air power on Friday (May 3) and committed to long-term plans to buy up to 100 Lockheed Martin Corp F-35 Joint Strike Fighters as it shifts its military strategy back to the Indo-Pacific region. After more than a decade of having forces first in Iraq, and then Afghanistan, Australia wants to focus on the military challenges closer to home, in line with U.S. President Barack Obama's 2011 "pivot" towards the Asia-Pacific. In a new defence strategy released on Friday, Australia reinforced that the United States remains its closest ally, but also had a conciliatory tone towards China, Australia's top trading partner, noting its rising defence capabilities are a natural outcome from its growing economy. "We also recognise that China's rise and its subsequent military modernisation is changing the strategic order of our region, and that the U.S.-China relationship is pivotal to our region of the world," Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said. The new defence strategy is the first reassessment of Australia's military priorities since 2009, and since the U.S. pivot to the Asia-Pacific, which included U.S. marine rotations through a de-facto U.S. base in northern Australia. As part of Australia's military build-up, Defence Minister Stephen Smith said Canberra would buy 12 Boeing Co EA-18G electronic attack planes, modified versions of the 24 Super Hornets already equipping Australia's air force, as a stopgap until the F-35 arrives. Australia's first two F-35s are due to be delivered in the United States in 2014-15. Australia will initially buy 14 F-35s, building up to three operational squadrons, of around 75 planes. Defence Minister Stephen Smith also said the government would proceed with plans for 12 new conventional submarines but he ruled out buying the submarines off the shelf, opting instead for new designs to be built in Australia. With Prime Minister Gillard's minority Labor government under pressure to find Budget savings to respond to collapsing revenues, Australia's net defence budget has contracted to around 1.56 percent of GDP, or A$24.2 billion. As a percentage, spending is at the lowest level since 1938. The new white paper makes no commitments on defence spending, but says the government remains committed to a target to increase defence funding to 2.0 percent of GDP.

Epic MMA Crossfit
Epic MMA is notoriously known as a mixed martial arts gym. They offer a pretty extensive range of classes such as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), Muay Thai, Boxing, Gymnastics, Strength and Movement, as well as many others including my #1, Crossfit.
This gym is actually the first I wanted to review because it's near and dear to my heart. I call it "my happy place" because I've built a lot of friendships in my time here. Yes, this is where I had my first sweet sip of the "Crossfit Kool-Aid" which started my love affair with the sport just over 2 years ago.
The set-up
Epic's crossfit area is a pretty well-equipped space with most standard crossfit equipment. On a busy day, you can have 4-5 classes being taught at once in various areas of the gym but this morning we were amidst the morning boxers as well as the ladies Epic Body Fit cross training class in the free weights area.
The crossfit space is compact with a very worn in foam floor lined with rowers to the front, assault bikes to the side, and rigs to the back. Ceilings are quite low, as this is a commercial building very inconveniently located above HSBC bank – hence the very strict "No dropping weights" policy during office hours.
The Class
The 6:15am class is not for the faint of heart. It's obscenely early, but for those who want to start their day by shocking their bodies awake with the likes of lifts, gymnastics movements
After warming up, we started with some strength training including a super set of heavy bench press (1-3 reps) and kettle bells clean and jerk, 5 sets.
Workout of the Day (WOD) 5 sets for 30 minutes (each set starts after 6 minutes)
- 400 meter row, 15 burpees and 10 toes to bar.
Coach Kris was there to tell us to pick our bums off the ground. He's a very knowledgeable coach with a hands off style and a great sense of humour (even for a Canadian) who is happy to give a nudge when he knows you can push a little harder.
Things I didn't like
For a beginner, you might feel a little lost because of the coaching style is casual. Classes can be quite big, making workouts with any barbell lifts feel cramped.
Things I liked
It's hard to be an impartial reviewer of this class since I've had so many amazing memories in this gym. Most notably, my Pregnancy WOD when I was 8 months large and in charge with my son- which happened to be exactly 12 months ago today (see photos below). Epic is a really great well- rounded gym with good facilities and probably one of the most convenient locations in Hong Kong. The people are what I like best about Epic. It's a friendly atmosphere with a low level of ego and competition, which makes working out here fun.
The crossfit area definitely needs an upgrade. The floors are old and in some places a little bumpy. Epic is in need of things like wall ball targets and a place for those really capable crossfitters to use the rings without risk of decapitation.
The women's locker room showers not the cleanest, but considering the amount of traffic that passes through in the mornings, I suppose you're bound to find a hairball or 2. Locker room air conditioning and more functioning lockers would make a big difference.
Overall, the basics are covered, but there are no frilly smelling shampoos, lotions or creams if this is the kind of thing that you are looking for.
A drop-in class will set you back $280, but if you are a HK ID holder then you are entitled to a free trial.

"While Peter and John were addressing the people, the priests, the chief of the Temple police and some Sadducees came up, indignant that these upstart apostles were instructing the people and proclaiming that the resurrection from the dead had taken place in Jesus. They arrested them and threw them into jail until morning, for by now it was late in the evening. But many of those who had listened had already believed the Message — in round numbers about five thousand." Acts 4:1-4 (The Message).
The time of favour was over! Persecution began to rain down on the apostles like lava from an erupting volcano. They were insisting that Jesus was alive and doing miracles to prove it. This 'routine' execution of a man the Jewish religious leaders claimed was a blasphemer had backfired on them and now it had come back to haunt them. They thought they had silenced Him and squashed the movement that had sprung up around Him but instead, they had actually poured oil on the fire and it was spreading faster than they could contain it.
What was it in these religious leaders that made them so determined to stamp out the truth and silence their opposition? What is it in any religious organization that is willing to kill to promote their beliefs? Murder is justifiable in their eyes if they cannot force their beliefs down the throats of their 'enemies'.
Just as fiercely as God protects man's right to make his own choices, even to damning himself to the rubbish heap if he so wills, so fiercely do some elements of the human race, and especially in the name of some 'god', call it what they will, demand the right to force others to embrace their beliefs or die.
One of the worst elements of Adam's rebellion against God was the ingrained determination to control other people. It is the root cause of conflict, from conflict between individuals to conflict in homes, in society, in nations and in the world. We all want our own way and we want it at the expense of others.
But why is it that the worst expression of control between people happens over their religious beliefs and practices? More people have perished in religious persecution over the centuries than all the wars put together. That tells us just how deep-rooted this flaw is in human nature.
Some one hundred and fifty million believers died at the hands of the Church during the Inquisition. And what of the people who perished under the Nazi regime, under communism and in countries today where religion is legislated and where to convert is an automatic death sentence?
People who control are often people who were controlled. This produces insecurity expressed in anger which can only be relieved by controlling others. Put this together with an inborn suspicion and hatred for God and you have a recipe for religious persecution. Strong leaders who control become a hierarchy of controllers with enough power to subdue millions through fear. At the root of it all, amazingly, is….money and power. Scratch under the surface of every dictatorship and every autocratic regime and you will find the glint of gold and, of course, money is power!
That these religious persecutors had not bargained for was a group of fearless people who refused to be silenced, even on pain of death, because they were convinced of the truth that Jesus was alive. Nothing could change that. Where lies controlled the people through fear, the knowledge of the truth had set them free from fear and not even the threat of death would shut them up.
For these religious persecutors it was too late; too late to put the lid on something they had inadvertently opened up by their passion to control.

The Ernal factor
Saturday I will officiate a funeral for Ernal.
Some of you will be unable to pronounce that name properly. Start with the word "eternal". Now just "ernal". And you've got it!
Maybe eternal was nit a far stretch for Ernal. He was 99 years old.
My Grandfather used to proclaim that he would live to be 100 or die in the attempt.
Ernal died in the attempt. And as you often hear of those of advanced years – "none too soon."
There is, at 99 years of age, a true sense of a better place. Better eyesight, better health, better acuity of mind, better natural light (all flowing from God). Just better!
So, I'd better get moving – on my sermon, on arrangements, and most importantly, on enjoying God here and now with a great future expectation!

Finding Common Ground
Posted on August 13, 2013
Sometimes the hardest part of facilitating communications is people recognizing that that they need the facilitation. Communications is such an all-encompassing term. We all communicate, in fact, we're engineered for it. Everything about us is geared towards getting our message out. The way we use our hands, the shape of our vocal chords, even our […]

Severndroog Castle
One's life path is partly defined by the geographical boundaries and community facilities experienced as a teenager.
I grew up at 204 Shooter's Hill Road but left there umpteen years ago to go to university. Our house was midway between Blackheath and Shooter's Hill. A little way up the road on the other side was Hornfair Park with a lido for early Sunday morning dips. (I've disliked swimming ever since.) Cross the road, walk through the estate and there was Charlton House, an Inigo Jones designed house which was my local library. Continue through Maryon Park with its deer and there was The Valley. I'm still an Addick.
Pedalling up 'the Hill' without dismounting was always a challenge with the freewheeling back home the reward. At the top were the woods where I was envious of other teenager cyclists with their cowhorn handle bars which seemed so much more suitable for rough riding. Mind you, my Rudge frame was sturdier. We would race, play tag or Commandos, which was our generational 'Cowboys and Indians'.
And I still live in a city, Jakarta, albeit one without parks, play areas for children or the freedom to roam. My Indonesian son and I don't have access to Greenwich Park or Castle Woods. He won't experience the simple pleasures of urban nature, the first bluebells and the delights of 'natural' forest which landscapers have allowed in order to counterbalance their structures and layouts.
A park needs maintaining. Its main function is for play, which has the all-important connotation of exploration. Severndroog Castle at the top of the Hill is a fantasy. The Princess in the Tower, the lone coconut palm on Robinson Crusoe's island or simply a desirable residence for those otherwise imprisoned in impersonal housing estates or living 9 – 5.
I am saddened that there is a need for a campaign to re-open Severndroog Castle but heartened to know that people care. Share my nostalgia and see what I saw here.
It's a shame that there aren't more such community minded groups here.

About Pilgrim Church, United Church of Christ
Pilgrim Church is a part of the United Church of Christ (UCC). The UCC is a community of 1.2 million members in 5,600 congregations across the United States. The UCC is a denomination that unabashedly engages both heart and mind. Founded in 1957 from several different Christian traditions, we are a unique church that affirms the hope that Christians do not always have to agree to live together in communion.
Our Shared Faith
In the UCC, we embrace a wide variety of faith expressions. In covenant together we seek to explore more deeply what it means to be a Christian in the world today. We invite all spiritual seekers to join us. Our basic beliefs are rooted in the historic Christian tradition, and include:
- Jesus Christ was God in the flesh and appeared in human history to teach us about God's hope and love for the world.
- The Bible is a repository of human witness to the awesome power of God and it is the responsibility of each of us to engage and interpret scripture for our lives, the life of the church and the life of the world.
- "God is still speaking" and God's truth is still breaking forth.
- Church is the community to gather together in worship and fellowship: to support one another, learn about Jesus and apply the lessons of his one life to our whole lives.
- God wants the world to be a better place. It's our job as active Christians to be vehicles for God's peace, justice and love.
- We recognize two sacraments: baptism, which affirms a personal relationship with God and connection to the Church; and communion, where we remember Jesus in the breaking of the bread and drinking from the cup.
- We affirm a Statement of Faith (see link below), not one historic creed or list of doctrinal tests of faith.
- God calls us into an extravagantly welcoming community of believers and seekers; young and old, newcomers and longtime members, families and individuals, gay and straight. No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here.
Additional information from UCC.org:
Pilgrim Church is also a member of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ (MACUCC), a fellowship of more than 400 churches across the Bay State.

But the mud is all cleared and the tools dry and the silver lining is appearing. The flood did afford the opportunity to rethink the storage arrangements and wood stacking which has now been moved outside. Funny what you find amoing the debris; bits of wood that came from various boats over the years. Much of the offcuts I assiduously stacked under the bench has been discarded for firewood. Why I should have thought any of it was ever going to be useful.
The Ilur has been put back on its strongback ready for the next stage. And there is a set of oars nearing completion on the other work bench. Wonder how long before the place gets as cluttered as it was before.

Day two, and I have rapidly come to the conclusion that this a crazy city full of whack-jobs.
After a visit to a Hindu temple I went for a wander around the business district. Dreadful, dreadful place, reminiscent of Canary Wharf, Dubai & central Chicago. Full of skyscrapers, and essentially a cathedral to obscene people making obscene amounts of money for sport.
A little further north is the Marina, and the relatively new Marina Bay Sands hotel (below), which has an observation deck and swimming pool "perched" across the three towers. As it was howling a gale, and zero visibility due to fog, I decided not to bother going up.
Oh, and guess what? Underneath the hotel is yet another shopping centre and casino. Who'da thunk it?!
I wondered around the Marina, past the Singapore flyer, and basically did the entire F1 circuit on foot (well, I'm sad like that). Here's the Merlion (or is it meh-lion?!) spouting water over the marina, with the business district behind.
Next stop was back on the tourist trail, to the Raffles Hotel for a Singapore Sling (when in Rome, an' all that…)
Later I passed through the Psychobabble of the world's largest shopping centre, Vivo City, as you have to pass through it to get the monorail to Sentosa resort world. I'll have to tell you about that later as I've a plane to catch, but suffice to say that from the start it's sinister. On the monorail you're fed propaganda about how this is "the most amazing place you will ever experience", which led me to wonder what happens if you DON'T have fun there (I'm now having to leave the island in fear of being shot for insurrection).
William Gibson was right: Disneyland with the death penalty. Bring on the airport, and Borneo.

Conventional energy sources (oil, coal and natural gas) have been the most economically efficient way of providing power for our homes, industries and transportation. However, the supplies of oil and natural gas are finite resources, and are continuously being depleted over time. In addition, these traditional sources of energy are confronting growing challenges regarding environmental and human health concerns. It is clear that alternative energy sources that are renewable and sustainable are needed to fill the world's energy needs. The potential for the expansion and growth of renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro power, wind, biomass, hydrogen, and geothermal is enormous.
Renewable energy sources were brought to the forefront during the mid-1970's as a result of the oil crisis and growing concerns about the supply and environmental effects of nuclear and fossil fuels. A common definition of renewable energy is that it is a sustainable energy source that is replaced rapidly, by a natural ongoing process. This is in clear contrast to nuclear and fossil fuels which are not essentially renewable and can be depleted.
Industry specialists suggest that the future growth in the energy sector will be primarily in renewable energy. Innovations in this area are emerging to promote markets in renewable energy development and resources. It is expected that these innovations will enhance diversity in energy supply, secure long term sustainable energy supplies, reduce global atmospheric emissions, and provide more attractive options in meeting energy needs throughout the world.
Technological innovations such as fuel cells, which, although not an energy source per se, can be used to generate power, are thought to be a viable substitute for the internal combustion engine of transportation vehicles.

Fuel cells operate like batteries, but unlike batteries, fuel cells do not run down or require recharging. They will produce energy in the form of electricity and heat, as long as they are supplied with fuel. Hydrogen is the basic fuel of fuel cells; but with the use of a "fuel reformer," a fuel cell system can utilize hydrocarbon fuels such as: natural gas, methanol and gasoline. Fuel cells rely on chemistry not combustion. The emissions from fuel cells are clean, and the by-products produced are heat and water. High reliability, quality power and efficiency are all qualities that describe fuel cell technology. The enhanced use of fuel cells will provide energy security, security of supply and due to their distributive nature, fuel cells can provide a locality, state, or country more physical security.

Recently, industry and government have turned to a strategic planning technique called "road mapping" to help understand and evaluate future energy management practices and technologies.
Technology road maps have been developed for a number of non-conventional energy technologies. These road maps identify technology trends, barriers to market entry, and technology and policy approaches for overcoming these barriers. Included in this work are discussions of commercial and residential buildings technology; lighting and window technologies; and hydrogen, biomass, wind power and solar power technologies.

This overview posits that the future growth in the energy sector will be primarily in the new regime of renewable energy, and to some extent natural gas-based systems, not in conventional oil and coal sources. Because of these developments, market opportunity now exists to both innovate and to take advantage of emerging markets to promote renewable energy technologies, with the additional assistance of governmental and popular sentiment. The development and use of renewable energy sources can enhance diversity in energy supply markets, contribute to securing long term sustainable energy supplies, help reduce local and global atmospheric emissions, and provide commercially attractive options to meet specific energy service needs, particularly in developing countries and rural areas, helping to create new employment opportunities there.
