'Fantasy and b******t' - UN official slams claims immigration threatens British culture
A SENIOR United Nations official has come under fire after he said claims that British culture is under threat from immigration is 'fantasy' and 'b******t'.
Francois Crepeau
The fantasy is that there is a core British culture that was created probably 2,000 years ago and carried on, and now it's being threatened by all those barbarians that are coming to our gate.
Francois Crepeau, the UN's special rapporteur on migrant rights, also appeared to criticise the Government's stance on supporting search and rescue efforts in the Mediterranean to save immigrants trying to reach Europe.
He told the Independent: "The fantasy is that there is a core British culture that was created probably 2,000 years ago and carried on, and now it's being threatened by all those barbarians that are coming to our gate.
"This is utter b******t, but who is going to say this? That is why I think we have a problem with political conversations that we can't have."
He told the paper he was concerned by the rise of anti-immigration sentiment across Europe and even went as far as saying: "If Britannia is ruled by the Ukip, or with Ukip-type policies, it is not going to be cool."
However, UKIP hit back at the Canadian's 'coarse and petulant remarks', saying his allusion to Tony Blair's 'Cool Britannia' project showed him to be 'behind the times'.
The party's Culture Spokesman, Peter Whittle, said: 'Mr Crapeau's coarse and petulant remarks reveal him not only to be shockingly arrogant and ignorant, but also, in his praise for Blair's Cool Britannia, terribly behind the times.
'British people have always been particularly open to the wider world and other cultures, and welcoming to newcomers. But they've been so while also having great pride in centuries of British culture, one which has produced the world's greatest literature, greatest scientific achievement and indeed, its greatest pop and rock music. There's nothing illusionary about that.
'As for Blair's Cool Britannia - I think Mr Crapeau is probably quite alone in being a supporter of that.'
In October, the Government set out its opposition to search and rescue operations warning that it might encourage more illegal immigrants to attempt the crossing. After criticism in the Commons, immigration minister James Brokenshire said the UK would be prepared to offer further support.
Speaking of the search and rescue topic, Mr Crepeau said: "Not supporting search and rescue operations means letting them die. This is what happens, if you don't search and rescue them; they die. If we accept that, I think we go well beyond the moral boundaries of our political system."

The American Marketing Association (AMA) defines a brand as a "name, term, sign, symbol or design, or a combination of them intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of other sellers."
That's the textbook version. Here it is in practical terms. Your brand is the sum and essence of these four ingredients:
Branding is the hub of the marketing wheel. It feeds into every strategy and program you roll out. And each of them, in turn, relies on the strength of your brand — and the consistency of its usage — for ultimate success.
If your company is all about "traditional values," your brand should reflect that one essential value. Same goes for "cutting edge technology," "service that goes the extra mile," "guaranteed same day service," or whatever your particular niche happens to be.
Just how important is brand identity and awareness? It's the heart and soul of who you are, what you stand for, and how you want others to perceive you.
For branding strategies that connect you to your customers, and them to you, turn to the seasoned professionals at IMS Advertising. Because we help you get "to the other side."

Roy notches Laker win in girls' hockey
The Detroit Lakes girls' hockey team recorded its first shutout win of the season with a 2-0 blanking of Pequot Lakes Tuesday.
Freshman goalie Veronica Roy notched her first shutout as well, with 10 saves, while the Lakers pelted the Lightning's net 33 times.
"We controlled the puck basically from start to finish and created some good scoring opportunities, but hit the pipe four or fives times," said DL head coach Dan Maloney. "Their goalie also came up with some very good saves."
This time the Lakers jumped out on top early, as freshman Emily Payne scored at the 13:06 mark, assisted by Jayne Harms and Brianna Seebold.
Just 2:20 later, Seebold found the net once again, with Payne gaining the assist this time.
From there, no more scoring was had, but there was plenty of pipe ringing by the Lakers and a load of shots on net.
"It was good to get a lead right away and open the game up more with that 2-0 advantage," Maloney said. "I thought we played even better in the second and third periods, but just didn't get the puck in the net."
Roy also added the exclamation point to the win with a save on a Pequot Lakes penalty shot with 2:30 left in the game.
"That save was huge," Maloney said of the snuffed out penalty shot. "It brought a lot of excitement and added some spice to the win."
The Lakers (4-12-1) will host Wadena-Deer Creek (5-7) Thursday for a 7 p.m. start.

LAUREL, Md. (WUSA9) - Waves of water rushed through the center of Laurel, flooding Route 1 several feet deep. "We had to evacuate Main Street," said Mayor Craig Moe, "about several hundred people."
"This morning was kinda hectic because police just knocked on our door," said one resident of Selborne House senior apartments downtown. Nearly 200 elderly residents returned to their senior apartments on main street after waiting out the water nearly five hours in a community center.
Thankfully, no one was hurt, but Fred Frederick suffered quite a loss. After moving more than 200 cars from his dealership nearly two dozen still got trapped in flood waters. "Those cars once they're in flood they are of no value," he said.
"I can't stress enough the dam is safe and there are no cracks," said WSSC spokesperson Lyn Riggins.
Late Wednesday night, crews with Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission noticed rising water seeping through a construction joint at the Duckett Dam. They opened the flood gates to relieve some of the pressure.
"People say if you knew the rain was coming why didn't release water ahead of time but we have to keep enough water in there because we have to provide drinking water to 2 million people," explained Regains, "so it's a delicate balance you have to leave enough water but no too much that it will put pressure on the dam."
WSSC will periodically open those flood gates over the weekend to maintain safe levels in the dam.
Route One will remain closed until the water recedes.
Businesses impacted by the flood need to have their facilities inspected before they can reopen. Business owners will need to call 302-725-5300 x2238
The evacuation order for Laurel residents was lifted at 8 a.m. and residents can return to their homes.

Drip, Drip, Drip … deluge.
Trump and all Trumpeteers now officially have blood on their hands. Stupidity—directly from Trump—has its first victims.
Death by Stupipdparty in Stupidpartyland. This death will be the first of many. So simply 1 or 2 victims—or Hundreds, or Thousands or Hundreds of Thousands or even Millions—but many many more.
So what happened?
Mike Hager said he was returning home with his family, which included his sick mom. They were returning home to the United States where his mother has lived since 1995. As they were waiting in line at the airport in Iraq on Friday, he was told that he could pass through because he was a U.S. citizen. But his family members—including his mom—weren't allowed, despite holding green cards. […]
"The immigration told us that the President of the United States put an order right now—you guys cannot go," he told FOX 2's Amy Lange.
Hager, his niece, and two nephews were traveling with his 75-year-old mother, Naimma, home to Michigan. They traveled to Iraq to visit family when she fell ill. Hager said he didn't expect it to be a problem for the family to travel since they all had green cards and had lived in the United States for 20 years. […]
Naimma, lived in the United States since 1995, wasn't allowed to come home. She died in her native country.
So the first of millions. Why do I say millions?
But already the Trickle is turning into a flood….
U.S. Navy SEAL William "Ryan" Owens was killed in the raid on a branch of al Qaeda, also known as AQAP, in al Bayda province, which the Pentagon said also killed 14 militants. However, medics at the scene said about 30 people, including 10 women and children, were killed.
U.S. Central Command said in a statement that an investigating team had "concluded regrettably that civilian non-combatants were likely killed" during Sunday's raid. It said children may have been among the casualties.
Central Command said its assessment "seeks to determine if there were any still-undetected civilian casualties in the ferocious firefight."
U.S. military officials told Reuters that Trump approved his first covert counter-terrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations.
As a result, three officials said, the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers, and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists.
So now Trumpeteers have blood on their hands. But it will be just a drop in a massive bucket. Stupid is deadly.

Study: Abortion, Contraception Raise Breast Cancer Risk
Study is 9 months old, but still no warnings from cancer establishment
Contact: Karen Malec, Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer, 847-421-4000
MEDIA ADVISORY, Jan. 6 /Christian Newswire/ — Less than two months since the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force issued new guidelines recommending against routine mammograms for women in their forties, a second breast cancer scandal involving a U.S. government panel of experts has come to light which has implications for healthcare reform.
An April 2009 study by Jessica Dolle et al. of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center examining the relationship between oral contraceptives (OCs) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in women under age 45 contained an admission from U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) researcher Louise Brinton and her colleagues (including Janet Daling) that abortion raises breast cancer risk by 40%. [1]
Additionally, Dolle's team showed that women who start OCs before age 18 multiply their risk of TNBC by 3.7 times and recent users of OCs within the last one to five years multiply their risk by 4.2 times. TNBC is an aggressive form of breast cancer associated with high mortality. (more…)
Women at High Risk of Significant Bone Loss on Injectable Birth Control Identified
ScienceDaily (Dec. 22, 2009) — Nearly half of women using depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), commonly known as the birth control shot, will experience high bone mineral density (BMD) loss in the hip or lower spine within two years of beginning the contraceptive, according to researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
The study, reported in the January 2010 issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology, was the first to show that women on DMPA who smoke, have low levels of calcium intake and never gave birth are at the highest risk for BMD loss. The researchers also found that high risk women continued to experience significant losses in BMD during the third year of DMPA use, especially in the hip — the most common facture site in elderly women.
DMPA is an injected contraceptive administered to patients every three months. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, more than two million American women use DMPA, including approximately 400,000 teens. DMPA is relatively inexpensive compared with some other forms of birth control, has a low failure rate and doesn't need to be administered daily, which contributes to the contraceptive's popularity. (more…)
What a Woman Should Know about Birth Control
According to the Guttmacher Institute, in 2010 the birth control pill was used by over 10 million women in the US. Over 27 million women used other methods of birth control, and almost 14 million of these were either sterilized or living with a sterilized man. Other widely used methods of birth control included condoms (nearly 6.2 million women), contraceptive injections (1.4 million), withdrawal (1.9 million), and the IUD (2.1 million).1
"The Pill"
The Pill consists of one or more types of artificial hormones called estrogens and progestins. It works by inhibiting ovulation and sperm transport and by changing the lining of the inside of a woman's uterus (called the endometrium) so that implantation of a newly conceived embryo is unlikely.
Ethical Concerns: When the Pill works by preventing implantation of a recently conceived embryo, it produces an early abortion.2
Medical side effects: In 2005, the World Health Organization officially classified oral contraceptives as Group I carcinogens (Group I being the most dangerous from Groups I-IV).3 A year later, a comprehensive meta-analysis published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, noted that 21 out of 23 studies found an increased risk of developing premenopausal breast cancer in women who had taken the Pill prior to the birth of their first child. Overall this group of women experienced a 44% increased risk in developing breast cancer prior to age 50.4 Other side effects that women have experienced include high blood pressure, blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, depression, weight gain, and migraines.5 Although the Pill decreases the risk of ovarian and uterine cancer, it increases the risk of breast, liver and cervical cancer.6 At least three studies have noted that the AIDS virus is transmitted more easily to women who are taking the Pill if their partner(s) have the AIDS virus.7,8,9
"The Shot"
Commonly known as "the Shot," Depo-Provera, a long acting progestin hormone, is injected into a woman's muscle every three months. It works by decreasing ovulation, by inhibiting sperm transport and by changing the lining of a woman's uterus.10
Ethical concerns: By changing the lining of the uterus, Depo-Provera can cause an early abortion when conception does occur.
Medical side effects: The results of two major world studies have shown that women who take Depo-Provera for two years or more before age 25 have at least a 190% increased risk of developing breast cancer.11 In addition, Depo-Provera may reduce a woman's bone density,12 and worsen her cholesterol level.13 One study found that women who had received injectable progestins (i.e., usually Depo-Provera or norethisterone enanthate) for at least five years suffered a 430% increased risk of developing cervical cancer.14 Several studies have shown that women who receive injectable progestins have a much higher rate of contracting the AIDS virus if their partner is infected, with one study showing a 240% increased risk.15
Other Hormonal Contraceptives
The same artificial hormones used in the Pill and Depo-Provera are packaged in a variety of other delivery systems: the Patch, the "Morning after Pill," hormone impregnated IUDs and vaginal inserts, and others. More are in development. Most are so new that their side effects have not been well researched. They use similar hormones as in the Pill and can be expected to have generally the same cancer-producing risks.
Barrier Methods: The Condom and the Diaphragm
The condom and diaphragm are latex devices used to prevent sperm from reaching the ovum, thus preventing fertilization.
Medical side effects: The condom has a failure rate for avoiding pregnancy that is estimated to be between 10-30%.16, 17 There are several reasons: breakage or slippage during use, manufacturing defects, and defects caused by shipping and storage in a hot or very cold place. A comprehensive review of condom effectiveness in preventing sexually transmitted diseases, sponsored by the US National Institutes of Health, published in 2001, concluded that use of condoms reduces, but does not eliminate transmission of the AIDS virus to men and women and of gonorrhea to men. The review also concluded that condoms have no proven effectiveness in reducing the transmission of any other STD.18 At least one study has noted that women who use barrier methods such as the diaphragm or condom, or the withdrawal method, had a 137% increased risk of developing preeclampsia.19 Preeclampsia, a complication occurring in some pregnant women, is a syndrome of high blood pressure, fluid retention, and kidney damage, which may eventually lead to prolonged seizures and/or coma. It is theorized that exposure to the male's sperm plays a protective role against preeclampsia.
A spermicide is an agent that is designed to kill the man's sperm and is often sold as a gel or as an ingredient in the vaginal sponge.
Medical side effects: Toxic Shock Syndrome has been associated with the spermicide sponge.20 One researcher has noted that couples who have used certain spermicides within a month of conception have experienced a doubling in the rate of birth defects, as well as a doubling of the rate of miscarriage.21
The IUD (Intrauterine Device)
This is a T-shaped device made of hard plastic. It may also contain copper or progestin hormones. A doctor inserts it into a woman's uterus. It works by irritating the lining of the uterus and obstructing sperm transport.
Ethical concerns: When conception occurs with an IUD in place, the IUD can prevent implantation, thus causing an early abortion.22
Medical side effects: These include uterine perforation, which may lead to a hysterectomy, and infections, such as a pelvic or tubo-ovarian abscess. Use of all IUDs has been associated with an increased incidence of PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease).23 The use of IUDs have been associated with actinomycosis, an infection that can cause long term complications such as pelvic mass and infertility.24 The IUD may occasionally result in pregnancy and if this were to occur, an ectopic pregnancy would be more likely to occur. An ectopic pregnancy is one in which the unborn child implants himself/ herself in a location other than in the mother's uterus, usually in the Fallopian tube. According to Rossing and Daling, two prominent researchers, women who had used an IUD for three or more years were more than twice as likely to have a tubal pregnancy as women who had never used an IUD, even years after the IUD had been removed.25 Ectopic pregnancy remains the leading cause of maternal death in the United States. The IUD may also cause back aches, cramping, dyspareunia (painful intercourse), dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual cycles), and infertility. 23
"Permanent" Sterilization: Tubal Ligation and Vasectomy
Surgical sterilization attempts to achieve permanent sterility by cutting, burning or tying a woman's Fallopian tubes (called "tubal ligation") or a man's vas deferens (called "vasectomy"). Essure is a new permanent non-surgical type of sterilization. Inserts placed in the fallopian tubes cause a tissue barrier to form that prevents sperm from reaching the egg.
Medical side effects: Tubal ligation does not always prevent conception. When conception does occur, it is associated with a much higher incidence of ectopic pregnancy,26 which, is, as was noted, the leading cause of death in pregnant women. In addition, women who undergo the procedure may experience complications from the anesthesia or from surgery. Complications include bladder puncture, bleeding, and even cardiac arrest after inflation of the abdomen with carbon dioxide.27 Some women who have undergone a tubal ligation experience a syndrome of intermittent vaginal bleeding associated with severe cramping pain in the lower abdomen.28 Several complications are associated with Essure such as improper placement, unintended pregnancy, pain, infection, and nickel allergy.29
About 50% of men who undergo a vasectomy will develop anti-sperm antibodies. In essence, their bodies will come to recognize their own sperm as "the enemy." This could lead to a higher incidence of autoimmune disease. Several studies have noted that men who undergo a vasectomy have a higher incidence of developing prostate cancer, especially 15-20 years after their vasectomy.30 31,32,33,34 One recent study found an association between vasectomy and aggressive prostate cancer.35 Vasectomy has also been associated with a rare type of dementia.36
Wise Options
The best option before marriage is abstinence. The obvious benefits include greater self-respect, freedom from the risk of sexually transmitted disease, as well as monetary savings and no chance of an unintended pregnancy. Within marriage it should be noted that an openness towards having children yields specific medical benefits. Every additional child a woman bears reduces her risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer by 5-10%. In addition, breast and ovarian cancer risks are reduced significantly in women who breast feed, with highest reductions in those women who breast-fed for the longest time intervals.37
NFP: Natural Family Planning
Natural Family Planning is a totally natural method by which couples can manage their fertility. In NFP a woman determines when she is either fertile or infertile by observing the consistency of her cervical mucus or other biomarkers such as her temperature. The largest trial to date (about 20,000 Indian women)—sponsored by the WHO (World Health Organization)—found an unintended pregnancy rate of less than 0.2%.38
One obvious benefit of NFP is that there is no increased risk of cancer or other diseases as opposed to hormonal contraceptives. Couples who use NFP have a divorce rate that is less than 5%39—far lower than the national rate of about 50%.

A Woman's Story of Her Husband's Vasectomy & Reversal
The personal testimony of Kim, a wife and mother of five…
Ten years ago my husband had a vasectomy after the birth of our fifth child. I pleaded with him not to do it, and the kids and I went away for the weekend while his brother took him to the appointment. That day is etched in my mind forever. I relive it often and especially when the kids reach a milestone such as graduating from school or getting their drivers license, etc. The journey has taken me down many different roads as I tried to replace the loss of my fertility. I exercised incessantly to make sure that I was always attractive and in good shape, I bordered on anorexia as my vanity took over. I lost my zeal for the Church and my vocation as a mother. I lost trust in my husband's decisions for the family, but all the while I never expressed my heartache because the vasectomy changed my husband in many ways as well. He became very focused on his work, his career advancement and the money that he could make under the guise of "providing" for the family. He continued to seek his own will and not that of God in his decisions, and I felt afraid of the control that he had over me. In hindsight, taking away someone's fertility against their will is one of the most controlling things that anyone can do. I vacillated between hope and despair because I knew the Church's teaching about married love and the sacrament of marriage, and I wished with my entire being that my husband could love me like "Christ loved the Church."

The connection between contraception and abortion
Many in the pro-life movement are reluctant to make a connection between contraception and abortion. They insist that these are two very different acts–that there is all the difference in the world between contraception, which prevents a life from coming to be and abortion, which takes a life that has already begun.
With some contraceptives there is not only a link with abortion, there is an identity. Some contraceptives are abortifacients; they work by causing early term abortions. The IUD seems to prevent a fertilized egg–a new little human being- from implanting in the uterine wall. The pill does not always stop ovulation, but sometimes prevents implantation of the growing embryo. And, of course, the new RU-486 pill works altogether by aborting a new fetus, a new baby. Although some in the pro-life movement occasionally speak out against the contraceptives that are abortifacients, most generally steer clear of the issue of contraception. (more…)
Breast Cancer Risk from Abortion
How could abortion cause breast cancer?
At the beginning of pregnancy there are great increases in certain hormone levels (e.g., estrogen, progesterone, and hCG) that support pregnancy. In response to these changes, breast cells divide and mature into cells able to produce milk. Abortion causes an abrupt fall in hormone levels, leaving the breast cells in an immature state. These immature cells can more easily become cancer cells.1
Has this been proven? (more…)
Breast Cancer, Abortion, and the Pill
For the past year, One More Soul has been privileged to work with Dr. Chris Kahlenborn in publishing his new book: Breast Cancer, Its Link to Abortion and the Birth Control Pill . This book is the culmination of seven years the author spent reviewing and analyzing more than 500 research studies and related works. It is very timely because of the breast cancer epidemic, which currently threatens every woman.
In the concluding chapter of Dr. Kahlenborn's book, he summarizes his conclusions and provides recommendations for action. The substance of that chapter is presented here, modified slightly to improve readability as a separate article. (more…)
The Hurtful Consequences of Artificial Contraception and Sterilization: Three Personal Testimonies
Rick and Peggy
In 1971, my husband and I were married. Thinking birth control must be okay because no one had said anything against it during my high school years and I had never heard a homily addressing the issue, I made an appointment with my family doctor. I asked if I needed to be on a stronger birth control pill, since now I would be taking it for the purpose of birth control instead of acne. He prescribed the pill and off I went.
We used contraceptives for the next three years. Our lives became very selfish and self-centered, as they caused us to become very empty and lonely. We thought, "There is more to life than this." We had a strong yearning to have a baby and thought this was the right time. (more…)
Dear Rick: A personal letter to my husband, lover, and best friend
Dear Rick,
If someone would ask me, "How's your love-life?" I would say, "Beautiful, Awesome and Wonderful!" But in the past I wasn't always able to say those words.
When we used contraceptives the first few years of our marriage, I felt an emptiness. Something was missing! I felt used! Remember when I would share with you how I couldn't feel close to you, but I didn't know why I felt this way!
We felt an emptiness and wanted to have children. So I stopped taking the birth control pills, but couldn't conceive. The birth control pills had been a detriment to my physical health and the doctor told us surgery was necessary to resolve the problem they had caused. (more…)
Dear John: A Personal Letter to my Husband, Lover, and Best Friend
Dear John,
Almost 22 years ago we took an oath before God, family and friends to lovingly accept children. This was a commitment we looked forward to, but it was also a concern because I have diabetes.
In ten years of marriage, God blessed us with three beautiful children, but all were very complicated pregnancies with toxemia and uncontrollable blood sugars. Through it all, you were my strength – even during the cesarean births, you stood by my side. (more…)

Call To Action - Kentucky Hemp Needs Our Help!
This e-mail contains graphics, if you don't see them

25 November 2017
Hello Visitor,
is Bad News for hemp and CBD!
Call the KY House Representatives TODAY as tell them to REMOVE section 25(d) in
House Bill 333
HB-333 - Kentucky
Kentucky's HB 333 - Let's Address the Hidden Language
By: Alli Cloyd
Hidden in plain sight is the latest way to make the CBD market a monopoly for GW Pharmaceuticals. Introduced by Rep. Kim Moser and R-Taylor Mill. HB 333 of Kentucky is a Bill designed to combat the lethal drug Fentanyl, commonly found in Heroin.
However, when read closer, this Bill would make it illegal to consume any part of the hemp plant WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION.
This is a huge threat to the hemp market in Kentucky. This is not the first we are hearing of this type of threat to the cannabis industry. "GW Pharmaceuticals has been developing a CBD-based drug called Epidiolex for years and, now that the drug is in Phase III trials, it's predicted to receive FDA approval soon.
Presumably in anticipation of its approval, Greenwich Biosciences has worked to introduce bills in South Dakota and Nebraska that would essentially require all CBD products sold in the state to have been approved by the FDA. This would lead to an immediate GW monopoly on the CBD marketplace in those states, as Epidiolex will be the only such product with FDA approval."
Highlighted below is part of the Bill that would be detrimental to the cannabis and hemp industry.
(25)[(22)] "Marijuana" means all parts of the plant Cannabis sp., whether growing or 13 not; the seeds thereof; the resin extracted from any part of the plant; and every 14 compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of the plant, its 15 seeds or resin or any compound, mixture, or preparation which contains any 16 quantity of these substances. The term "marijuana" does not include: 17 (a) Industrial hemp as defined in KRS 260.850; 18 (b) The substance cannabidiol, when transferred, dispensed, or administered 19 pursuant to the written order of a physician practicing at a hospital or 20 associated clinic affiliated with a Kentucky public university having a college 21 or school of medicine;[ or] 22 (c) For persons participating in a clinical trial or in an expanded access program, 23 a drug or substance approved for the use of those participants by the United 24 States Food and Drug Administration; or
25 (d) A cannabidiol product approved as a prescription medication by the United 26 States Food and Drug Administration;
Let's tell the KY House of Representatives NOW that this bill must be stopped. Just passed 3rd reading in the Senate, next is the House.

Lord Burnham: My Lords, as a member of the committee on smoking, in which context I congratulate the noble Lord, Lord McIntosh of Haringey, on the way in which he chaired that committee, can the Chairman of Committees confirm that the fact that his figures amount to more than 100 per cent makes sense in the context of what the questions were? Is it not the case also that there was scarcely anywhere where there was anything like a majority for a reduction in smoking?
The Chairman of Committees: My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Burnham, is correct in relation to the figures adding up to more than 100 per cent. It was open to respondents to the questionnaire to opt for more than one of the questions being asked and to refer to more than one of the options. That is not uncommon in answering questionnaires, but I should add that I am always full of admiration at the ingenuity of your Lordships.
Baroness David: My Lords, can the Chairman of Committees confirm that the Commons is a good deal more strict than we are? The idea that people like the noble Baroness, Lady Trumpington, can escape there means that they are not going to escape to a very happy atmosphere.
The Chairman of Committees: My Lords, without going into detail on the Commons restrictions, so as not to take up too much of your Lordships' time, I will make them available to those noble Lords who are interested in what another place does. To some extent, though not to a very great extent, there are more restrictions in another place.
Lord Mackie of Benshie: My Lords--
The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Jay of Paddington): My Lords, we have allowed extra time on this Question, as there was obvious interest in it throughout the Chamber and we felt perhaps more time should be spent on it. However, we have now reached within five minutes of the time allotted for Questions and we should move on.
Lord Beaumont of Whitley asked the Chairman of Committees:
The Chairman of Committees: My Lords, the House does not provide parking facilities of any kind for Peers' guests. However, the House authorities are aware of the problem of bicycle parking near the Palace of Westminster. Some years ago representations were made to Westminster City Council. As a result, there are now 15 bicycle parking spaces in the Abingdon Street car park which are available for anyone to use free of charge.
Lord Beaumont of Whitley: My Lords, I thank the noble Lord for that reply, though it is not entirely satisfactory. Should not there be facilities for bicycles seeing that the Government are trying to encourage their use instead of cars and that Peers' guests who arrive are not, unlike those who arrive by car, taking up an enormous amount of space? Is the noble Lord aware that a fortnight ago a guest of mine arrived and when she asked where she could park her bicycle was told "Nowhere"? When she asked what she should do if she came as the guest of a Peer, she was told that she should not come by bicycle. I am sure that the noble Lord is aware that that is against government policy. Should we not show that we support government policy and encourage as many bicycles as possible to be parked in front of your Lordships' House?
The Chairman of Committees: My Lords, while many noble Lords will be sympathetic to the general point of the noble Lord, Lord Beaumont of Whitley, I do not feel that I should be drawn into questions of government policy on these matters; nor are they matters for your Lordships' committees. I am sorry to hear of the experience which the noble Lord's guest suffered. I shall ensure that that point is brought to the attention of those concerned and that, where there is a query of this kind, the 15 spaces available--very few of which are ever taken up--will be drawn to the person's attention. Abingdon Street is very conveniently placed of course.
Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede: My Lords, is the noble Lord aware that in April 1988 expenses were introduced for Peers who wished to ride their bicycle to this House? Since then only two Peers have claimed those expenses and the reason for that is that they have to originate their journey outside Greater London. Will the noble Lord undertake to look into the expenses system for Peers who wish to ride their bicycle to this House so that all Peers, both those inside and those outside Greater London, are entitled to claim bicycle expenses?
The Chairman of Committees: My Lords, I am advised, though I shall need to write to the noble Lord,
Lord Rotherwick: My Lords, does the Chairman of Committees agree with me that, as we are making available bicycle spaces in the Abingdon Street car park, it would be right also to make spaces available for powered two-wheelers as well?
The Chairman of Committees: My Lords, I understand that some accommodation is available. I shall look into the point. If anything needs to be done, I shall seek to ensure that it is done.
Lord Carter: My Lords, at a convenient moment after 4.30 p.m. my noble friend Lady Symons of Vernham Dean will, with the leave of the House, repeat a Statement being made in another place on Kosovo.
Brought from the Commons; read a first time, and to be printed.
Brought from the Commons; read a first time, and to be printed.
The Minister of State, Department of Trade and Industry (Lord Simon of Highbury): My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a second time.
I am delighted to move this important Bill. It is a balanced series of proposals. It sets out a radical, forward-looking package of measures which will create a modern framework for employment relations fit for the next century. It delivers the Government's manifesto pledge to provide decent minimum standards for treatment at work and to develop family-friendly employment policies. It also modernises employment law in response to changes in working patterns; for example, more women than ever are working, the number of part-timers is increasing and more families are dependent on two earners.
The Bill will promote the best of modern employment practices in all our companies, encouraging a culture of fairness and trust in the workplace, coupled with clearer
As noble Lords will be aware, the provisions of the Bill were foreshadowed in the White Paper, Fairness at Work, which was published in May last year. That White Paper was drawn up following consultations with the Confederation of British Industry and the Trades Union Congress on trade union recognition. All of the 29 proposals in the White Paper were subject thereafter to thorough consultation with both employer and worker organisations. Since the publication of the White Paper, the Government have been vigilant in consulting all interested parties. We believe that to improve the culture of employment relations for the next century it is important that we carry employers, employees, and their representatives with us when developing proposals.
Our objective is to create an understanding between employers and employees, managers and managed, that the value that people can add at their workplace is vital for all stakeholders. The ability to produce goods and services at low cost does not in itself guarantee industrial success, especially in our knowledge-based economy. Value-added and productivity are better tests of success in such an economy. As my right honourable friend the Prime Minister stated in the foreword to last year's Competitiveness White Paper, our success depends on how well we exploit our valuable assets of knowledge, skills and creativity.
Before considering the Bill in more detail, I remind noble Lords that the Government's economic policy is geared towards achieving sustainable prosperity. We see the implementation of the Bill as a major contribution towards achieving that policy. The Bill covers a variety of employment relations issues, individual rights, trade union recognition and family-friendly rights.
I hope that noble Lords have read the explanatory notes which give the purpose behind each of the provisions in the Bill. I intend today to explain the major elements of the Bill. They can be grouped into three themes: decent minimum standards for people at work; a new climate of co-operation in the workplace; and family-friendly employment rights.
The Government believe that all employees should be treated fairly so that they feel more trusted and valued. This will benefit the organisation through increased commitment and enhanced productivity.
Many good employers already provide decent employment standards for their employees. However, some do not, and the Government believe that fair minimum standards must be backed up by the law. We have done this already for working time and the national minimum wage. The Bill complements those measures and completes the package of reforms designed to restore an acceptable balance to the workplace.
The Bill contains a number of measures to ensure fair treatment in recruitment and employment. Clause 2 and Schedule 2 plug the loophole which currently permits employers to discriminate by omission on grounds of trade union membership, non-membership or activities.
Clause 17 will ensure that part-time workers are treated no less favourably in respect of their terms and conditions of employment than their colleagues. This clause implements the European Part-Time Work Directive (Council Directive 97/81/EC) which covers employment conditions excluding pay. However, the Government believe that discrimination in respect of pay should be covered in the same way as other employment conditions. The clause therefore also covers pay.
We will also, through Clause 3, prohibit the compilation and use of blacklists recording individuals' trade union membership and activities with a view to use in recruitment. We will seek to ensure that employees do not suffer from detriment and dismissal arising from a refusal to accept a contract on terms which differ from those applicable to them under a collective agreement. Clause 15 will bring that into effect.
Secondly, we have sought a fair balance of rights and responsibilities in the workplace. Employers should not dismiss employees unfairly. We are not preventing employers from dismissing people where they have good reason and act reasonably in doing so, but we need to send a powerful message to employers that unfair dismissal is a serious matter. The Government's principle behind Clauses 28 to 32 is that people who have been unfairly dismissed should be entitled to receive adequate compensation to compensate for their economic loss.
Noble Lords will not have missed the media attention to the increase in the maximum limit for unfair dismissal compensatory awards to £50,000. However, these clauses will also simplify the existing system of additional and special awards and will link the limits on these awards to changes in the retail prices index. We will also remove the compensatory award limit in certain cases for those dismissed for "whistle-blowing"; that is, for drawing attention to health and safety problems or wrongdoings as set out in the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998.
There are four more provisions. Through Clauses 10 to 13, we will be creating a statutory right for individual workers to be accompanied either by a fellow employee or a trade union official during disciplinary and grievance hearings. We will further protect the interests of those using either employment agencies or employment businesses by amending the 1973 Employment Agencies Act. A consultation document proposing revised regulations under the Act will be issued soon. I hope to make copies available to noble Lords before the Bill is considered in Committee.
Clause 16 will prohibit the waiving of unfair dismissal rights in fixed term contracts.
The Government will, through Clause 20, empower the Secretary of State to rationalise and update the coverage of the existing body of employment rights by
In business, co-operation and teamwork at all levels are conducive to success. My five years at the head of British Petroleum in a period of some pressure and change convinced me of the extraordinary power of the team. An organisation which does not encourage such co-operation between management and workers or their representatives risks missing out on the real prize, that is, enhanced employee commitment to the organisation, working towards shared goals--in the words of management consultants, "alignment".
The Government have always upheld the right of people to choose whether or not to join a union and, consequently, whether they wish to be represented by a union at the workplace. Clause 1 and Schedule 1 establish a new statutory procedure for the recognition of trade unions, if that is the wish of a majority of the workforce, in organisations employing 21 or more workers. The procedure seeks to encourage voluntary agreements where possible but provides for the Central Arbitration Committee (CAC) to decide on applications for recognition if no agreement is reached.
If an employer agrees to recognise a union but a method for collective bargaining cannot be agreed, the CAC may impose a method. Schedule 1 includes procedures for changing the bargaining unit; that is, the group of workers who are covered by a recognition agreement. It also outlines procedures for derecognition of unions, including non-independent unions. It protects workers against detriment, financial or otherwise, or dismissal resulting from their supporting or failing to support recognition or derecognition.
The Bill also makes provisions in Clauses 22 to 25 to reflect changes necessary to the industrial relations institutions, in particular, the CAC and ACAS.
The Bill also simplifies and clarifies the existing law on industrial action, for example, by making clear that unions need not disclose to employers the names of their members they are balloting or calling on to take industrial action. Clause 4 and Schedule 3 will bring that into effect.
Clause 5 applies to workplaces where there is statutory union recognition and a bargaining procedure has been imposed by the CAC. It requires employers in those circumstances to consult recognised unions on training policy and practice relating to the workers represented by the union.
Clause 14 and Schedule 5 allow employees who take or have taken lawfully organised industrial action to complain of unfair dismissal if dismissed within the first eight weeks of such action. It will also be unfair to dismiss them thereafter if the employer has not taken reasonable procedural steps to resolve the dispute.
To underline the Government's commitment to improving co-operation in the workplace, Clause 26 authorises the Secretary of State to make funding
Finally, I turn to the support for family-friendly employment. The world of work is changing and, as I said, changing rapidly. For example, the number of mothers in work is increasing. Some employees have trouble combining their work and family responsibilities. The Bill therefore proposes new rights to parental leave. We believe organisations will benefit once these policies are in place. For example, there should be increased employee commitment and productivity and cost savings from reduced staff turnover and absenteeism.
The Bill, through Clauses 7 and 8 and Schedule 4, contains provisions dealing with leave for family and domestic reasons. It provides rights and regulation-making powers for the Secretary of State to replace most of the existing statutory provisions on maternity leave with simpler, clearer rights and to provide new rights to parental leave and to time off for domestic incidents in order to implement EU directives. I give way to the noble Lord.

S.F. protesters make their case (loudly) in the halls of power
Updated 3:34 pm, Friday, May 8, 2015
"Ed Lee, can't you see, we don't need more luxury!" chanted some 400 protesters Friday inside City Hall, as they rallied against widespread evictions in the Mission and in support of protecting arts communities.
Barred by police barricades from protesting outside City Hall, they moved inside, filling the atrium and unfurling signs that read "No Monster in the Mission" and "Stop the evictions." After a series of speeches, they marched through the building's corridors chanting and lobbying supervisors.
The protest has been in the works for months and comes just four days after Supervisor David Campos, who represents the Mission, introduced legislation to halt market-rate residential developments in the neighborhood temporarily. The measure would implement a 45-day moratorium on planning approvals, demolitions and building permits for multifamily residential developments in a 1½-square-mile area. It could be extended for up to two years under state law.
Chirag Bhakta, an organizer with Mission SRO Collaborative, came armed with a list of demands to present to supervisors, including passing Campos' legislation. Of the large turnout, Bhakta said, "If every person who has been effected or displaced or is angry about the current housing and eviction crisis were here, we wouldn't have enough space in this building."

Arturo Carrilla, who grew up in the Mission and was evicted from his house in Oakland, said he wanted to express his concern about the displacement going on. "I'm really troubled about the impact the evictions are having in our community," he said.
The discussion about changes in the Mission has been going on for quite some time, but the discussion about the moratorium is only beginning.

Bake sales? So 20th century.
San Francisco schools aren't organizing cakewalks to raise cash, they're crowdfunding.
District officials announced a new partnership Friday with Tilt, an online fundraising platform, allowing schools to post technological needs and ask for donations.
Similar sites, like Donorschoose.org, allow teachers to post classroom needs and ask for donations. But this is the first-ever crowdfunding initiative by a school district, San Francisco Unified officials said.
The site, http://sfusd.tilt.com, already has several schools' wish lists.
Sunset Elementary School, for example, is seeking $25,000 to boost its supply of iPads and Chromebooks.
Stevenson Elementary wants $28,000 for "one iPad cart containing 30 tablets that will be shared between the third, fourth and fifth grades."
All the money goes to the schools, save a 1 percent fee to Tilt to maintain the district's SparkLearning site that it hosts. The company's take is usually a couple of percentage points higher.
"An investment in education is the best investment we can all make, and this new Tilt SparkLearning platform is making it easier to make that investment," Mayor Ed Lee said in a statement.
While school district money has helped pay for technology upgrades like wireless access, computer labs and other infrastructure, schools often individually raise funds for things that don't come with other public funding.
The goal is to prepare students for the 21st century workforce, giving them 21st century tools through 21st century crowdsourcing.
"By working together, we will tap the talent, tech savvy and spirit of innovation that permeates our city," said Superintendent Richard Carranza. "We will ensure that students graduate with dreams and the abilities to achieve them, creating not just a pool, but an ocean of local talent to feed the next generation of San Francisco industry."

text: While I was taking pictures of my niece and her two young children, I was thinking that none of them would turn out. Her little one was having way too much fun to sit still and take a picture. Once I developed them, I could clearly see the love that this family has for each other. The pictures that "didn't turn out" became a layout filled with laughter and love. I used a technique that I learned from a DVD that was sent to me by Creating Keepsakes magazine. I learned to wrap wire around a marker, then add beads and stretch it across my page. I also used that idea to add dimension to my frame and to create a heart. Thanks CK for the great idea!

ASIC is an abbreviation, standing for 'Application Specific Integrated Circuit'.
An integrated circuit is a microchip – a set of circuits which are manufactured together as a single component, on top of a small plate made from semiconductor material such as silicon. This stands in distinction to a 'discrete circuit' which is put together using multiple components which were manufactured separately.
An application specific integrated circuit is therefore a microchip which has been designed to perform a specific job, in distinction to the kind of general purpose microchip which you would expect to find inside most computers.
Within the context of this blog the term 'ASIC' most likely refers to a microchip which has been designed specifically for performing the Proof of Work calculations used for the mining of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
Various different cryptocurrencies operate using different mining algorithms. Bitcoin, for example, uses the SHA-256 algorithm. A Bitcoin ASIC is therefore a microchip which has been designed solely for performing SHA-256 calculations as quickly and efficiently as possible. Cryptocurrencies with different mining algorithms would need an ASIC designed specifically for the kind of calculations performed as part of that algorithm.
ASIC Resistant Mining Algorithms
Because most people have regular computers but do not have mining ASICs, and because those ASICs can be very expensive and can be exploited for profit by manufacturers before being released to the public, the use of ASICs for mining has lead to a reduction in the numbers of peope who can profitably participate in the mining process. This 'centralization' of the mining process goes against the peer to peer decentralized spirit of Bitcoin and also reduces its security (because it is more likely that a single large operator could gain control over the whole network).
As a result of these factors, alternative cryptocurrency (alt coin) developers have sought to create new mining algorithms which are designed specifically to require the use of a general purpose computer rather than an ASIC. Also, because the kind of high-end graphics processors (GPUs) used in gaming computers can also be used for mining more effectively that regular processors (CPU), and because these high-end GPUs are also not widely owned or available around the world, some developers have attempted to create mining algorithms which are not only ASIC resistant, but which also do not offer any significant advantage to GPUs. The purpose of doing this is to make mining as decentralized and egalitarian as possible, and to thereby increase the number of miners and ultimately the security of the network.
Popular ASIC resistant mining algorithms include:« Back to Glossary Index


text: Sometimes when I am scared if the fun things I do and have are totally sins, I get accidentally a bit angry at the Holy Trinity and then I start saying bad things on my mind about the Holy Trinity, including the Holy Spirit, yes, but then I get scared and w0rried if I blasphemed the Holy Spirit... And now I blame myself that why would I do this, and now I am thinking that I only have about 80 years more to live, until I die and then I disappear from existence... Have I blasphemed the Holy Spirit? I really don't and didn't want to blaspheme the Holy Spirit, and I regret all the bad things I said to or about the Holy Trinity.. Now I know that the Earthly things I do (except sexual lusting) are not sins, but I am still worried that if I won't be forgiven ever again and I can do now whatever I want during these remaining 80 years of my life... The Bible says that the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit means when a person thinks or says that the Holy Trinity is evil. But I think the Bible meant that every blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the unpardonable sin, like calling the Holy Spirit words or being angry at the Holy Spirit is blasphemy... I am so confused... Is it true that I only have 80 years of my life more remaining and then I will never be forgiven anymore and then I will disappear from existence when I die?

Just remembered an article rjbiii sent me:
About Dutch players vs their English equivalents:
McClaren proved, however, with Twente in the Netherlands that success can be achieved without an open cheque book. In 2010 he became the first Englishman since Sir Bobby Robson, with Porto in 1996, to win a major European league title. "One story highlights my whole experience in Holland," he says, recalling the two seasons spent with Twente. "We found out a team were going to play a different system against us to counter what we do, so we got a 21-year‑old midfielder in and said: 'How do you think we should counter our opponent's system?'
"He proceeded to talk for 20 minutes on the tactical aspects of our game plan, in terms of how we defended and attacked. After 20 minutes, I said: 'Very good, that's exactly what we said we were going to do!' I said: 'By the way, when did you learn that?' He said: 'We've been doing this since we were eight or nine.' What they're teaching their players is about formations and your job within that formation, and how to solve problems on the field themselves. Could I have that conversation with a 21-year-old in England?"
The Guardian's Secret Footballer says something not dissimilar:
It may come as a surprise to some but it is rare to hear players talk about football away from their place of work. Although most love to play, I haven't found too many who are overly enthusiastic about dissecting the finer points and, out of all the football being played, international matches outside of the major tournaments are far and away those that nobody wants to discuss.
The most that foreign players who go away on international duty generally get from a team-mate on their return is, "Who did you play again?" followed by "Oh, right, how did you get on?". The internationals, on the other hand, are much more interested to find out what happened in Marbella and why one player in particular disappeared for 48 hours and emerged only at the airport, soaking wet and minus his shoes. At least he had his passport.

Transfer of small structures by bonding
The work presented in this paper deals with the bonding of small structures, down to 1 mu m. Its aim is to evaluate the dimensional limits of anodic bonding between silicon and pyrex 7740 glass. Test structures consisting in silicon pillars with controlled radii have been developed. The silicon pillars have been fabricated by deep reactive ion etching to allow a good geometry control of the structures. A collection of matrices of 3 x 3 identical silicon test structures with dimensions from 200 to 1 mu m has been fabricated to determine the smallest area that can bond anodically. The test results have been applied to the transfer of small structures from one wafer to another wafer by bonding, with the final objective of transferring tips for A FM probes. From the test results, a new test for bonding has been defined, based on the Pull test of small structures with controlled dimensions. Preliminary simulations by FEM of the pull test of the test structures are in agreement with the experimental results. The test has been used to determine the effect of the voltage and temperature conditions during the anodic bonding on the bond strength.

Sixers great Allen Iverson is among the eligible candidates for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2016.
The candidates were announced on Monday, the 124th anniversary of the invention of the game of basketball.
The Hall of Fame changed its rules, making players who have been fully retired for four years eligible. It had previously been five.
Iverson is a first-time candidate along with dominant big man Shaquille O'Neal and Houston Rockets center Yao Ming.
Former Sixers Maurice Cheeks and Bobby Jones were also among the nominees. Both were members of the 1983 NBA Championship team.
The Answer's resume includes a Rookie of the Year award and a 2001 MVP trophy. He was an 11-time All-Star and is 28th on the NBA's all-time scoring list.
Finalists will be announced at NBA All-Star Weekend in February in Toronto. The official Class of 2016 will be announced on April 4 at the Men's NCAA Final Four in Houston.
