Last week, we rolled out the new SuperSite to all our Resellers on the Global, Indian and UK programs. The response so far has been phenomenal, with a majority of our Resellers expressing interest in using SuperSite 2 as their primary storefront!
If you've been following the conversation on our Uservoice channel (which you can access from your Control Panel) or Facebook and Twitter, you would probably know that we've been working on the new SuperSite for some time now. It's taken us a while but I can safely say that you're going to love it.
SuperSite 2 improves upon the old supersite in many ways. Take a look at why it's a whole lot better:
- Completely Redesigned:
The new SuperSite has been completely redesigned and is a lot more minimalistic and refined. We've also improved upon the User Experience with this version, as you'll probably notice during the Domain Check availability and purchase process.
- A whole lot faster:
A lot of our efforts also went into making sure that SuperSite 2 is a lot faster. Currently the new SuperSite is incredibly fast with an average load time of 3 seconds.
- More SEO friendly:
There are also more SEO benefits with SuperSite 2. You'll notice relevant URL's, a fat footer and a lot of keyword rich content.
- Includes an easier Purchase Process:
One of the main features that will help you increase conversions is the easier and more streamlined purchase process. Your Customers can now purchase a product in just 3 steps.The Purchase process also comes with an intelligent upselling module that upsells Hosting packages to customers when they register a Domain Name.
- All new Product Pages:
We've worked particularly hard on reworking the Product Pages. You'll observe a great new Plans blurb which gives you the ability to highlight your best-selling plan. We've also included brand new content with complete feature lists and detailed FAQs for all products.
That's not all!
We're also very close to launching a few more features for SuperSite 2. Take a look at what's in store:
- Coupon Engine:
Integrating a coupon engine has been a very popular feature request and we've looked at all the feedback we received while developing this feature. You'll soon see a powerful coupon engine integrated with SuperSite 2, with an intuitive system to create and manage coupons.
- Lightning-Fast Domain Check Availability!
We've even been working on an AJAX based Domain Check Availability that will make Domain Registrations incredibly fast!
- Language Packs
5 new language packs are also coming up very soon. We'll be releasing Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Russian versions of SuperSite 2.
- Multiple Layouts:
Multiple layouts too are on the cards to cater to different business models. For example, if you resell only Domain Names, you will be able to use a layout that only showcases your Domain Name offering.
To keep yourself updated about future developments on SuperSite 2, you can stay tuned to the blog or follow the conversation on our Social Media channels.
A big thanks to our Beta Testers!
We had close to 1000 Resellers testing SuperSite 2 before we launched, and I'd like to thank all of them for helping us eliminate bugs and release a fantastic storefront!
Tell us what you think!
We're always looking for feedback and suggestions to improve our products. So if there is anything you like (or don't like) about SuperSite 2, we'd like to know. You can leave a comment below, mail us on email@example.com or show your love by tweeting about SuperSite 2!

serves 4
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
3-4 cups chicken broth, low sodium
2 15-ounce cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 sweet potato, peeled, cooked, and diced (i was lazy and didn't peel mine this time)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper, to taste
a few dashes celery seed, optional
sour cream, optional
1. Prep onions, garlic, and potato. To cook sweet potato, peel it, then wrap it with saran wrap and cook in microwave for about 3 minutes. Remove saran and dice potato as big or small as you'd like (it's ok if still a bit firm in the middle). Set aside.
2. Melt butter in medium soup pot on medium heat.
3. Add onions and saute until translucent (around 3 minutes), then add minced garlic and saute for another minute.
3. Add drained beans, diced sweet potato, and broth, stirring all together gently. Bring to boil on high heat.
4. Once boiling, turn heat to low, add cumin, salt, pepper, and celery seed, cover, and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
6. Add more seasonings to your personal taste. When ready to serve, pour into bowls and top with sour cream. Chopped, fresh cilantro would be a great addition, as well.

KIEV, Ukraine– Polls have opened in Ukraine's presidential election that pits the incumbent against a popular comedian and a former prime minister.
Ukrainians on Sunday will choose from among 39 candidates they hope can guide their country of more than 42 million out of troubles including endemic corruption, a seemingly intractable conflict with Russia-backed separatists in the country's east and a struggling economy.
Opinion polls have shown comedian Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who plays the country's president in a popular TV series, leading the field with President Petro Poroshenko and former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko trailing behind by a broad margin.
If none of the candidates gets an absolute majority of the vote, a runoff between the top two will be held on April 21.

DH and I live in the Midlands with my 33 year old son. My 35 year D, SiL and DGD live just around the corner from us. My son works fulltime as a classroom assistant and after him suffering many health scares as a child we are very proud of him. He is very kind and sensitive and is very generous. However, we have a problem. DH and I are both retired and we like dividing our time between our home and Devon. At the moment we are in Devon until the beginning of May.
I phoned DS this morning and he insinuated that he would like us to go home sooner rather than later. It makes us feel really guilty about leaving him but as our friends keep telling us he is a grown man. We have left him before so I hope he will settle soon. Why do we feel so selfish. Help.

Style: Black
Origin: Assam, India
Ingredients: Black Pekoe Tea from Assam, Organic Oil of Bergamot from Calabria, Italy
Description: We use a whole-leaf Assam with a nice body and a smooth finish as the base tea for our Classic Earl, then add a true Italian cold-pressed, organic oil of Bergamot from Calabria. This combination produces one of the truest and finest Earl Greys you will ever drink.
Tasting Notes: The fragrance is bright and fresh. the flavour is delightful.
Brewing Instructions: 2g per cup. 100ºC water. steep 3-5 minutes.
China has a rich and ancient tradition of producing high quality teas of all varieties, and black tea is no exception. This is where tea culture and industry, as we know it, began nearly 2,000 years ago.
Known as 'Red Tea' in China, the tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis sinensis plant are smaller and finer than their Indian counterparts, the Camellia sinensis assamica, and prefer cooler mountainous regions. Usually plucked by hand and gently processed, the end result are exquisitely fragrant teas with lesser levels of astringency and a soft body.
Several Chinese provinces are famous for their regional tea selections: Fujian Province is home to the well-known, pine-smoked Lapsang Souchong, while Keemun tea, the official choice of the British Queen, is produced in Anhui Province. Yunnan province produces the ever-popular varieties of Yunnan black tea and is also the region where China started its tea cultivation.

In Rio de Janeiro, they have this amazing outdoor market that they call the "Feira Hippie de Ipanema," literally: the Ipanema Hippie Market. It was started by a bunch of hippies in the 60's who wanted to sell their wares, and has been running every Sunday since. It's one of my favorite places in the world — seriously, an outdoor flea market in Brazil?! How can that get any better?
I have a dress from the Feira Hippie that I love, but that has seen better days. It's stretched out, it's a little too long, and just a little sad. But there's no way I could ever get rid of it — it's the perfect summer weight and I have such fun memories of buying it while we were all negotiating with the Brazilian hippies.
What's a girl to do? Good guess. A simple DIY refashion, baby. And we're talking simple.
I ripped out the seam at the bottom to detach the ruffle that finished the dress. Cut off some of the length and made my own little ruffle out of the excess fabric. Reattached the ruffle that was originally on the dress. Sewed the ruffle from the excess fabric to the bust line.
BAM! New and improved — a little shorter, a little sassier, a little accessorized. The Hippie Market lives on. xoxo

How to Restore a Cast Iron Fire Place Grate
Restoring a cast iron fire place grate can help to make your fireplace look bright and fresh, ready for the long winter months when you need to use it. Once the summer months start to draw to a close, you should take a look at the fireplace grate, and consider cleaning it out.
Basic Cleaning
Start by laying down sheets of newspaper around the fireplace, and then taking off the grates. These should be placed outside, so that they can be cleaned thoroughly. While they are there, scrub off any old dirt with a wire brush, and check for rust. You should then put on some paint-remover, such as Peel Away, which will strip off the bigger pieces of soot and ash. Leave your grates to dry.
Advanced Cleaning
Once the paint remover is dry, spray over with a mixture of white wine vinegar and water. This will help to make your paint remover less caustic, so that you can safely clean it off. Leave to dry, and then wipe down your grate with a dust cloth. Spray liberally with stove paint, and leave to dry. Clean out your fireplace while you are waiting using an old domestic brush, and then replace your grate inside the fireplace.

The USD's men's basketball team always has a tough time playing in Stockton and Thursday night was no different.
Support Times of San Diego's growth
with a small monthly contribution
Pacific (8-10, 3-2 West Coast Conference) was nearly perfect at the foul line, making 33-of-35, and all the Toreros (12-5, 3-2 WCC) could do was watch in the 74-70 loss.
"I thought we did a good enough job outside of our fouling. We'll have to figure that out," USD coach Lamont Smith said. "They got to the free throw line. They shot 35 and we shot 15. We need to adjust. We'll go back and watch film and see what we need to do differently."
Outside of the free-throw line, the Tigers shot just 36 percent, making 18-of-50. USD out-shot Pacific at 48 percent and out-rebounded the Tigers 34-29.
It was the Toreros' sloppy ball handling, however, that was key to the loss. USD committed 16 turnovers for the game, five of them in the first half.
"If you don't protect the ball you lose games," Smith said. "We gave up 17 points off of turnovers."
With three minutes left to play, the Toreros were trailing by as much as 13 points at 63-50 before rallying back to within five at 68-63 with 23 seconds left. On the next inbounds play, the Toreros grabbed a loose ball on the floor but called a timeout during the scramble with no timeouts left. The Tigers converted both free throws to make it 70-63. Pacific would make four more free throws before the Tigers made the final score with a tip-in for the win.
This marks the fifth straight time USD lost to Pacific at Stockton.
Isaiah Pineiro led the Toreros in scoring with 23 points. Both Tyler Williams and Isaiah Wright reached double-digits in scoring at 20 and 17, respectively. Pacific was paced by Miles Reynolds with 17 points.
Up next, USD returns to Jenny Craig Pavilion to host the Loyola Marymount Lions at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Argentina left us with an awful lot to talk about. So much, that most of the discussion focused on just a few points: the problems with Michelin tires; the chaotic process by which Race Direction arrived at a race with compulsory pit stops, and the effect it had on the outcome of the race; and the various ways in which riders found to crash out of the race, and how it affected the championship.
That overshadowed several aspects which will affect the championship down the line. Time to take a look back at what we missed. It was a surprise podium, not least to those who actually ended up in second and third spot.
Valentino Rossi had resigned himself to another fourth place until Andrea Iannone made what Race Direction colorfully described as an "overly optimistic pass" on his teammate Andrea Dovizioso, and robbed Ducati of an outstanding double podium.
He was not surprised when it happened – Rossi criticized Iannone's earlier pass as being too aggressive, saying it lost him two places – but he had not expected to be on the podium. Ducati's strong showing at Termas de Rio Hondo bodes well for Austin, but more of that later.
He Ain't Heavy
Dani Pedrosa was even more surprised to be on the podium, calling his race "horrible" and the luckiest race of his career. The distance to the winner – over 28 seconds – showed just how improbable his podium was.
His problem was the one thing which all of the Hondas have been struggling with, a lack of acceleration. The issue was illustrated all too poignantly by the sight of Scott Redding – second tallest and heaviest rider on the grid – firing out of Turn 4 and on to the back straight, leaving Pedrosa – the smallest and lightest rider on the grid – for dead.
Physics says that should not happen, when all things are equal, but clearly, equal is something they are not. Pedrosa simply could not get his bike out of corners, something we saw from the Hondas last year as well. A modified engine may have helped in one area, but the problem remains.
It seems that the bike is not wheelying so much out of every corner any more – possibly a by-product of reversing the crank direction of the RC213V – but the bike still badly lacks mechanical grip. The rear still spins, and the Honda cannot get its horsepower to the ground.
A similar pattern was visible at Qatar, and with Márquez at the front of the race at Termas de Rio Hondo. The Yamahas were capable of attacking and beating the Hondas off the corner and passing down the straights, something previously unheard of.
It's All About the Acceleration
This is going to be an issue at Austin, more so than in Argentina. At Termas de Rio Hondo, there was only one spot where the Hondas really suffered with acceleration. At Austin, there are several, including two crucial points: onto the back straight, onto the front straight.
Marc Márquez has won every race held in the United States since he joined the MotoGP class. If the Hondas are struggling with acceleration as much as we believe, then his reign as King of America could be about to come to an end.
That offers opportunity, for the Yamahas, but especially for the Ducatis. The 2016 Desmosedici GP now has agility to go with its horsepower, as they showed in Argentina, and throughout testing.
The Yamahas get fantastic drive out of corners, but the Ducatis do even better. The lesson of Argentina is that if there were to be a race where the Ducatis were going to get their first victory since 2010, Austin might just be the place.
Those straights are likely to be curtains for Maverick Viñales' hopes of a podium. The Spaniard had an outstanding ride at Argentina, competing with Rossi and the Ducatis on equal terms. But the demands of the straights will likely be too much for the Suzuki GSX-RR.
Viñales once again showed that he could race the front-runners despite being on an inferior bike, but his alien status is still at the application stage. Viñales needs to podium and win first, but you get the feeling that is now a distinct possibility.
With the Spaniard looking very likely to take Lorenzo's place at Yamaha from next year, if it doesn't happen in 2016, then it will in 2017.
Aprilia on Their Way?
It is also worth nothing that Aprilia had a good race, with Stefan Bradl crossing the line in seventh aboard the brand new RS-GP. That looks good on paper – and is a result Romano Albesiano will be able to use to placate impatient Piaggio management – but it should not be seen as a sign the Aprilia is competitive.
The reality is that Bradl crossed the line over forty seconds behind the winner. In a twenty lap race, that is over two seconds a lap.
On the other hand, Bradl was not far behind what ended up being the battle for fourth. He was five seconds behind Eugene Laverty, four seconds behind Hector Barbera and Pol Espargaro. A lot of that can be put down to conditions, of course, but Aprilia still have a mountain of work ahead of them.
Bradl was more fortunate than his teammate, Alvaro Bautista. The pit stops proved extremely treacherous for the Spaniard, Bautista locking the front of his Aprilia on the wet tarmac in pit lane, protected from the drying sun by the overhang of the media center at Termas de Rio Hondo.
Bautista fell, his bike careening into a mechanic and knocking him down. It was a lurid illustration of the dangers of flag-to-flag racing. The incident is to be reviewed by Dorna and Race Direction, to examine ways of preventing a repeat.
Given the hectic nature of the process of swapping bikes, eliminating danger completely is impossible. That is the price MotoGP has to pay to stick within TV schedules. The teams and the riders will have to decide whether it is a price worth paying.
Stefan Bradl still managed to finish ahead of Bradley Smith, however. Despite having signed a well-earned factory contract with KTM ahead of the first race at Qatar, Smith has not had an easy time of it in the first two races, with Argentina a low point.
A feeling that the front Michelin of his Monster Tech 3 Yamaha was defective meant he was just downright slow, and finishing a long way behind his teammate Pol Espargaro.
All last year, Espararo was aching to get onto the Michelins. Though he has not performed as he had hoped to on the new tires, he is still closer to the pointy end than he was before.
The East Shall Rise
In the Moto3 race, we witnessed history being made, and in spectacular style. Khairul Idham Pawi took off like a scalded cat from the start, braving a still damp track on slicks. The only rider who could stay with him was Livio Loi, but Loi had the benefit of wet tires, a gamble which would later turn against him.
But Pawi was too much for Loi even on wets, and the young Malaysian rider was soon lapping two seconds or more faster than the rest. To call his win dominant would be an absolute understatement, Pawi scorching to victory in the face of pleas from his crew to please slow down.
Where did Pawi come from? The Malaysian rider spent last year in the FIM CEV Moto3 championship, where he impressed right from the start, scoring podiums and ending the year right in the thick of the talented crop who form this year's rookies.
Overlooked by the major teams, he was picked up by Honda Team Asia, under the watchful eye of Tady Okada. This is proving to be a fruitful partnership, and Pawi has all the makings of being a genuine contender.
There were very nearly two Malaysians on the podium, with Adam Norrodin crashing out in the penultimate corner. Norrodin rode superbly, the crash understandable. What followed showed real grit and determination, the young Malaysian picking up his bike and pushing it across the line to finish eleventh.
Andrea Dovizioso would follow his example in MotoGP, bagging a couple of valuable points in the championship. In a championship where anything could happen, those points could end up having a massive effect at the end of the year, for both Dovizioso and Norrodin.
The drama did not finish once the race was over, however. The flight which was due to take the vast majority of the paddock from nearby Tucuman airport to Buenos Aires, and thence onward to Texas, did not appear, apparently canceled due to poor weather conditions.
Travel plans were hastily rescheduled, buses wrangled and the better part of the paddock was whisked off on a 12-hour odyssey to Cordoba. From there, they went in different directions, spread across many flights to the US.
By midnight on Wednesday, almost every was on American soil. They will be ready for the US GP in Austin, but there will be a fair few who need matchsticks to keep their eyes open.

Bank of America today announced the findings of a new study conducted by Merrill Private Wealth Management, which found that 64 percent of wealth holders have never talked with family members about how or why they intend to pass on their assets. While 48 percent plan to communicate this information eventually, or assume family members already know, 10 percent vow never to divulge details of their estate plan primarily because they consider it personal and no one else's business. But is that a good decision?
"This research is designed to help families make better decisions and secure the promise of wealth, including the impact it can have within and beyond one's family and lifetime," said Andy Sieg, president of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management.
For this study, Merrill asked more than 650 high net worth people across the country how different types of financial decisions are made and communicated within their family. Part of an ongoing series of white papers on wealth sustainability from the Merrill Center for Family WealthTM, findings from this study were published today in a new report, "How do families make effective wealth decisions?" including:
- Decisions about family money, such as gifting to family and charities, dividing assets among heirs and establishing trust provisions or limitations, ranked as the most important and hardest to make, compared to decisions about saving, investing, spending and other day-to-day finances.
- Just 33 percent of people have informed their family of lifetime gifts already made or committed to, such as assets held in a trust or funding of education, a down payment on a first house or another purpose.
- Seventy-two percent have not discussed their philanthropic commitments.
- When asked what they consider to be the most important idea to communicate when discussing wealth with family, the top response was to be a good steward and handle family money wisely. However, only 46 percent have talked with heirs about fundamental family values and operating principles.
- On the distribution of their estate, 69 percent of wealth holders plan to divide their assets equally among heirs while the rest say allocation decisions are based on specific criteria, such as merit for individual contributions (11 percent) or need (8 percent).
- While 22 percent plan to openly share details of their estate plan with the whole family, 17 percent would share information only as it applies to each person.
Source: Merrill Center for Family Wealth, Merrill Private Wealth Management. June 2019
"Decisions about family money have the potential to change lives, yet the outcome depends on how well the purpose and reasoning behind those decisions are understood, and too often that is left unsaid," said Stacy Allred, head of the Merrill Center for Family Wealth. "Misunderstanding can lead to family conflicts, resentment and other unintended consequences including the misuse or loss of family wealth."
Understanding how family wealth decisions are made (or not)
The Merrill Center for Family Wealth specializes in helping families define the purpose of their wealth. This study found that in six in 10 families, there is no formal structure or rigorous process in place to ensure family wealth decisions are made and communicated effectively. When asked how wealth decisions are typically made, the most prevalent response was an autocratic and top-down approach whereby one person makes decisions with little or no input from anyone else. Seventeen percent of families make financial decisions democratically with collective input or representation of all members.
Limited collaboration on family wealth decisions may reflect the high degree of confidence most people have in their own financial decision-making.
- Three-quarters of participants, including more men (79 percent) than women (68 percent), report complete confidence in their financial decisions.
- Looking back on decisions they've made, however, just 56 percent of people said their decisions always turned out well. The rest reported mixed results, including 21 percent who said all their decisions turned out badly or they delayed making decisions because they were unsure of the outcome.
"The best form of financial parenting and a big part of improving the outcome of decisions involves putting more care into the decision-making process itself," added Matthew Wesley, director, Merrill Center for Family Wealth. "Family wealth decisions can be complicated by family dynamics, a long-time horizon and unrecognized biases that call for a deliberate and disciplined approach."
The study is based on an independent survey of 656 high net worth and ultra high net worth adults with at least $3 million in investable assets, not including the value of their primary residence. The online survey was managed by the independent research firm Phoenix Marketing International and completed in 2018. All data have been tested for statistical significance at the 95 percent confidence level.

Construction of the biggest stadium in Tanzania is set to commence. According to president John Magufuli plans for construction of Dodoma stadium are in top gear.
President Magufuli confirmed the news during an occasion that marked the 53rd Anniversary of the Union between the then Tanganyika and Zanzibar which was held for the first time at the Jamhuri Stadium in Dodoma.
"We are making good progress ready to start construction of the biggest stadium in the country," the president told a crowd that was gathered at the venue to witness a colourful event.
Last year, King Mohamed VI of Morocco visited the country and pledged to build an ultra modern stadium in Dodoma. In his visit, dozens of Morocco companies signed agreements with major players of Tanzanian private sector, including the newly planned sports venue.
The new stadium will cost between US$ 80 and 100m, it will be bigger and better than the current National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
The contractors and financiers of the mega project were not mentioned.
However, this initiative comes at a time when the government is pushing for massive transfer of people and services from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma and this will help improve the whole sport sector majorly soccer in the region.
It will also enable the country to be in a better position to bid for hosting major continental and world events such as Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals, Africa Nations Champions for home based players (CHAN) finals as well as other top athletics events such as All African Games and World Athletics championships.

I'm going to tell you something shocking. Are you ready? Are you sitting down and clutching the cat and bracing yourself for some really, really startling news? Good. Because here it comes: Jude Law's son is handsome. Yes!! Can you believe it? Isn't it weird that the son of someone who looks like Jude Law, and the son of someone who looks like Sadie Frost, would be attractive? It is weird. But, well, it happened.
The child's name is Rafferty Law and he is apparently making his way as a fashion model, at the young age of 17. He just walked the runway at a DKNY show in London, right there with the rest of the models, like he belonged there. And I suppose he does! Really, what's a handsome 17-year-old rich kid from London to do but model? I guess become a YouTube star? He could do that too, maybe. Become the new Charlie McDonnell or the new Jack Harries or the new Joe Sugg or the new Caspar Lee or the new Alfie Deyes or the new Marcus Butler. Those are all British YouTube stars (well, Caspar Lee is technically South African) whom I hope, for your sake, you have not heard of. But Rafferty Law could join their ranks, if he wanted to. For now, though, he seems content to model. I hope his father is proud. And that he does not spend too many sleepless nights worrying about his hairline, knowing all too acutely how blessings can, if not suddenly, certainly over a period of about 10 years, disappear.

Today's gossip is a little olio of curious celebrity items. Here's the next one. Dr. Dre, the rapper turned producer turned billionaire headphones salesman, was recently hanging out at Skybar, a poolside lounge at the Mondrian Hotel on Sunset Boulevard overlooking the ruins of Los Angeles. He apparently enjoyed the service he received, because he reportedly left a whopping $5,000 tip. That's a big tip! I mean, for someone in the service industry? That's life-changing money, actually. And not just someone in the service industry. Even for someone in the gossip-roundup industry, that's life-changing money. You can do a lot with $5,000! I wonder, though, if they pool tips there? They probably do. In which case, no one is getting $5,000 outright. It'll be winnowed down and parceled out. But still. That's car payments, that's rent, that's credit-card debt. It's a big deal. But Dr. Dre can afford it. Now that he's wrapped a headphone around the head of every young person in America, he can cover a big tip from time to time. Maybe he'll tip you next! But probably not. That probably won't ever happen, sorry. [Page Six]
Across America, the nation's gay uncles are rejoicing. They are streaming out of their condos and onto the streets of South Beach and Palm Springs, so happy are they with this most wondrous news. Cher and Bob Mackie have reunited. It's true. Though Cher embarked on her latest farewell tour sadly Mackie-less—he was just too busy to make costumes for her—she recently tweeted something saying that she and Mackie were teaming up for the second leg of her tour. So how about that. I mean, it wouldn't be a Cher tour without Bob Mackie costumes, would it? I feel kinda bad for the people who saw her on the first half of her tour, when she was not back working with her trusty collaborator. I guess they'll have to go see her again. And you know what? They will. They most definitely will. People who are shelling out for Cher tickets at this point, nearly 16 years after "Believe," are lifelong, diehard fans. So they will go again to see the Bob Mackie garments. They will put extra food in the cat's bowl, they will change their answering-machine message (they still have answering machines!) to something sassy, and they will drive off into that desert night, into that Florida afternoon, and they will go see their hero, their queen. That is what America's gay uncles will do, now that Cher has come to town clad in all the regalia she's meant to wear. [Page Six]

UA Bos Vellies Co. Collection
The Bos Vellies Co. Collection signifies our beginning. Uhuru Afrique used to be called Bos Vellies Co., like you might know. After changing our name to UA we decided to name our first collection after our legendary heritage and call it The Bos Vellies Co. Collection.
Every single pair of Bos Vellies has a serial number embossed on its tongue. The list of serial numbers started at 001 and has ever since not stopped growing. Even though this small detail takes a lot of time to craft we decided to do this because not one pair of shoes are the same, and neither are you and I or anybody else the same. Don't lose your authenticity, just be you!

What can happen in four seconds? Most of us would answer: not much. But four seconds is approximately the minimum amount of time the average distracted driver looks away from the road when reading or composing a text message. Four seconds isn't enough time to do much generally, but it is enough time to kill yourself or someone if you drive while distracted.
This is one of the messages a group of students is trying to spread around the country in the "TextLess Live More" campaign. The initiative is inspired by the memory of a young woman who was killed by a distracted driver who looked away from the road for just four seconds.
The fatal car accident occurred last summer. The young woman was a recent high school graduate who decided to ride her bicycle from the East Coast all the way to Santa Monica. She made it only as far as Arkansas. While riding down a rural road with six other bicyclists, she was struck by a 21-year-old driver who was looking at his phone. She suffered severe injuries and died a short while later.
The TextLess Live More campaign has managed to spread its message to schools around the country, including here in California. On July third, the one-year anniversary of the woman's death, a public service announcement on the dangers of distracted driving will be broadcast on televisions around the country.
A 2011 survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals that 31 percent of respondents admit to sending or reading text messages and emails while driving. Nearly 70 percent admit to talking on a cellphone while behind the wheel. Even if you feel you can handle distracted driving safely, can you really afford to take that chance?

Chicago writer and journalist Jamie Lynn Ferguson took her #nodibs view to the streets yesterday and dug out both sides of her neighborhood block. She got a wonderful reception from her neighbors and has so far received a positive response from the larger world (besides those non-Chicagoans who say "WTF is dibs?"
It's a nice little story about doing something for our neighbors and ourselves. Also a sign that the polar vortex has moved from the land (39 degrees ABOVE ZERO today). Not that it hasn't prevented assholes still being assholes.

National Australia Bank (NAB) has released details of its enhanced parental leave policy which was launched in Asia in June 2016.
The policy was launched in an effort to ensure that parental leave is available to all eligible employees regardless of gender and marital status and includes the option for primary carers to take unpaid leave for a period of up to 12 months – of which NAB pays up to 12 weeks leave – without impacting the individual's job scope or career path.
Kate Colley, head of people, Asia and International Branches, commented:"At NAB we want to be Australia and New Zealand's most respected bank – a key way we can achieve that vision is to understand and support our people by making it easy for them to reach their career and life goals.
"The Asia launch of the parental leave policy now aligns NAB in Asia with our Group's efforts in supporting married and single parents of children – biological or adopted – through greater work flexibility when they are the primary or secondary carer."
Facebook extends its 4 months' paid paternity leave to global staff
Amazon now offers paid parental leave of up to 20 weeks
Under the enhanced policy, parental leave is available to all employees who have completed 12 months of continuous service at the time of taking the leave regardless of gender.
Leave options include pre-natal leave, primary carer's leave – paid and unpaid, secondary carer's leave – paid and unpaid, adoption leave, and special parental leave.
The bank notes that upon the employee's return from the leave, should their role no longer exist as a result of organisational changes, NAB work with the employee to identify a comparable role.
She explained that the enhanced parental leave policy considers the needs of NAB's people from the time they are expecting or adopting a child right through to returning to work after a period of parental leave and provides them with a variety of leave options and working arrangements.
"As our understanding increases of the broader positive cognitive and emotional outcomes for children when fathers are given the opportunity to participate more fully in family life and childcare, we are proud to encourage our male employees in Asia to benefit from the parental leave policy," Colley said.
"In doing so, we also want to better support and advance women's careers by creating a culture that provides equal opportunity to all parents, regardless of gender and life goals."
In addition to the parental leave, in order to enable employees to unleash their potential to the fullest, NAB also offers a range of flexible working arrangements to allow our employee work in a way that better suits
their lifestyle.

Options includes working some of the normal hours at home, or another remote location; flexible start and/or finish times; job sharing, or moving from full-time to part-time; working the same number of hours over less days; taking lifestyle leave to volunteer, further studies or interests.
"The results of recent employee engagement surveys confirm that our efforts have produced positive impact," the bank stated.
Close to 90% of NAB's workforce indicated that they have the flexibility to accommodate various priorities at work, at home and/or in the community.
"This affirms a strong tracking of our efforts in educating and promoting workplace flexibility," it added.

It's practically raining no-hitters in baseball right now. Less than a week after a shared no-hitter by the Dodgers, Seattle Mariners lefty James Paxton no-hit the Toronto Blue Jays Tuesday night. The Mariners won the game 5-0. To make the moment all the sweeter, Paxton is a native of Canada and threw the no-hitter in his home country. It was also just the second no-hitter by a Candian pitcher in big league history and the first since Dick Fowler in 1945.
"To have it happen in Canada. What are the odds?" Paxton said of the occasion. "It's pretty amazing. Just very special. And against the Blue Jays? You couldn't write this stuff."
Early in the game, you could hardly tell that Paxton was on his way toward making history. He struggled with his command during the first few innings, walking three in the first four innings. However, he eventually settled into the game and looked dominant during the late innings, ultimately striking out seven Blue Jays.

When it came time to record the final out of the no-hitter, Paxton knew exactly what was at stake while facing Toronto third baseman Josh Donaldson. After his fastball sat in the 92 to 95 mph range for much of the game, Paxton cranked it up to triple digits on his final two pitches to Donaldson, who hit a sharp ground ball that was handled by Seattle third baseman Kyle Seager.
"The guy is pretty good," Paxton said of facing Donaldson for the final out. "So I was like, 'I better bring my best stuff right here. I'm just going to rear back and throw it as hard as I can.' Fastball is obviously my best pitch. They know, I know it. I'm just going to let it rip at the top of the zone and see what happens. He smoked that ball to third base and Seager made an amazing play. That was happening all night long."
Paxton's no-hitter was the sixth in Mariners history, with Hisashi Iwakuma throwing the last one in 2015. But it was the first to take place on the road. However, for a Canadian like Paxton, it felt like a home game. Blue Jays fans got behind the British Columbia native when they realized he was on the verge of history. When the initial celebration subsided, Paxton returned to the field to wave to the away fans who cheered his accomplishment.
"Just showing my respect to the Canadian fans," explained Paxton. "I really appreciate their cheers after the game, supporting me being Canadian. That was very special. I just wanted to show them that I heard them and that I was very grateful for their support."
For Paxton, the no-hitter all but confirms his status as Seattle's ace. He had a breakout season in 2017, going 12-5 with a 2.98 ERA despite multiple stints on the DL. Outside of a couple rough outings, he's been even better this season. Paxton has allowed just two runs in his last 22 innings, striking out 33 batters in that span. He's been Seattle's most consistent starter and a catalyst for the Mariners staying close to the Astros and Angels in the AL West. Tuesday's no-hitter serves merely as confirmation that he's the ace of the staff and on his way to becoming one of the best starters in baseball.

Welcome to Carmel, California's new star, Seventh & Dolores, an elegant and social, "boutique steak house," artfully produced by Folktale Winery and headed up by bigger than life personality, sometime "Celebrity Chef," Todd Fisher.
This October, CW Magazine visited "7D", (originally constructed as a bank in the 1970's, on the corner of Seventh & Dolores in Carmel) to get the low down from Chef Fisher on the venues exciting summer opening, its Niman Ranch exclusivity, and his career journey being a self-professed "blue collar" chef.
Credit for personal success: The teams that I've built past and present. One of the reasons I got into this industry was the mentorship that I received. That has always been a level I wanted to achieve, to have enough knowledge, experience…bandwidth to help grow other people in this industry.
Seventh and Dolores' quick rise to "must go there" status: The entire team behind Seventh & Dolores (or 7D), are the most devoted, talented and best humans a person could work with. From proprietary owner Jeff Peterson, Folktale's Gregory Ahn, Chef De Cuisine Jeremiah Tydeman; front house VP of Hospitality, John Fitzgerald, and back of house staff, you name it. 7D's success hinges on being a new restaurant that benefits from an old team that really knows and respects each other.
Greatest Mentor: Everyone wants to have the answer of Thomas Keller etc. My greatest mentor is Jeff Jake, an unsung hero of a lot of great jobs, currently at Silverado Golf Course in Napa. It was his joy for cooking and his ability to be flexible, that made me go, 'Okay not every chef is a rigid asshole that yells at everyone and leads by fear.' Chef Jake led by the mentorship concept. When he saw you failing he would jump in and help without belittling or beating you up. He made you feel like, "Okay, I can do better. I can do this job."
Word to describe you: "Fearless."
How would you describe Seventh & Dolores: A boutique steak house. Like a boutique winery, I'm not out to have a Seventh & Dolores on every street corner. 7D embodies the feel and character of a big city steakhouse and is unlike anything else in Carmel. The boutique aspect to me is also that we're working exclusively with Niman Ranch; the only exclusive Niman Ranch steakhouse in the country.
Why Niman Ranch? I'm fifth generation Californian. I've known Niman since it started in Marin, CA. I've known the quality and integrity of the product forever. Niman Ranch cows feed on a combination of pasture and corn which offers much more rounded flavor than just grass-fed cattle which can bring out too much 'minerality.' And Niman Ranch is much more humane. They truly consider the animal at every stage and for this, their product just tastes better.
7D Signature Steaks: I originally thought the Cowboy Chops and Rib Eye on the bone were going to be our most impressive. But the Kansas City is also really spectacular. Our Bone in New York's are eating phenomenally. Our signature steak offering would have to be the 7D Carpetbagger, which involves a Dry Aged New York Bone topped with a huge slab of Bakers Bacon and cornmeal fried oysters. Amazing!
Sidebar Etymology of 'Carpetbagger:' 1868, American English, scornful appellation for Northerners who went South after the fall of the CSA seeking private gain or political advancement. The name is based on the image of men arriving with all their worldly goods in a sbig carpetbag.
7D Steak Feedback: Niman Ranch quality stands up and delivers time and time again. We have a lot of people who live in Carmel half the year but are based out of Dallas. And these guys are telling me Niman Ranch is the best steak they have ever had, and Texans know their steaks. They want us to open a 7D in Dallas!
Seventh & Dolores Opening Impressions: My wife is tired of hearing this comparison, but having a new restaurant is kind of like having a new kid. You want to be there all the time. You think, 'What if local chefs come in? You don't want to miss the tradition of sharing the first sips of Louie 13th! 'Louie' has been hit pretty hard here in recent days. It's been magic. It really has.
Philosophy: Be f-ing great every f-ing day.
Favorite Cut: 48 ounce Cowboy Chops or 32-ounce Porterhouse. Can't keep them in the house. Optimal Dry Aging: 28 to 32 days gets that lactic quality going and contributes a nuttiness and butteriness. The meat will still have a juicy element and not be too dry. You want it fatty and juicy even though it's aged. Longer (aging) than that can taste a bit fermented, which some people like. But it can also become a challenge for people to understand.
Thoughts on a 100 Day Dry Aging: I want to eat it like a prosciutto a carpaccio. This is how you're going to get the true essence of the meat at this stage. Once you've aged it that long, if you cook it, it almost destroys the whole process.
CW and Sales Rep Crystal Price: Crystal has been awesome. She earned the business back by coming in, showing up, offering samples, and taking no for an answer, multiple, multiple times. When I have an issue Crystal attacks it. She gets me answers right way. It's awesome because I had thought CW was a specialty item company until my Chef De Cuisine Jeremiah said 'Dude, I buy everything from CW!'
Did you set out to be a father of five? I kind of did. But it was hard getting dates. I'd be like 'Hey, you want to go out? By the way, I want five kids. And they'd be like 'check please!'
Future of Food: People will be edging towards more vegan and eating less beef less regularly. But when they go out for a great meal, they will want a spectacular beef experience, like we offer at Seventh & Dolores.

I just got this great bike lock from Alaska Bear. This is a really great bike lock, it has this great heavy duty cable that is really durable. It's a very thick cable encased in a protective black plastic that is very heavy duty. It's not going to be something someone could cut through easily. It's self-coiling as well so it stays pretty well organized and it's all over the place which I like. It has a really well made lock combination on it. It's a great four digit lock combination there are instructions included on how to set it. It's pretty easy though. Works really well. It also comes with a mounting clamp that's really durable and easy to install.
Here is some additional information form the company:
- 5′(1.5m) long x 1/2″ (12mm) diameter, Mounting bracket included for easy transportation.
- Ideal for bicycles, strollers, ATVs, skateboards, sports equipment, tools, and ladders and gates.
- Set your Set your own personalized number combination for easy unlocking.
- 4-Digit combination mechanism for 10,000 possibilities and keyless convenience.

I just got this great luggage lock from Alaska Bear. I don't know about you but I am always wondering where all my suit case goes and who could be getting into it when I drop it off at the luggage counter. This lock from Alaska Bear gives me some piece of mind that my luggage will be locked and safe no matter where it goes or who has possession of it. This lock is TSA approved. It's really easy to set up and put in your combination. Just slip it through the zipper holes on your suitcase and it's safe and locked. It's a durable lock that is secure when in place. I like it because it's small but does a good job of keeping my items safe and secure.
Here is some additional information form the company:
- TSA Accepted Lock: Transportation Security Administration will recognize the diamond on the lock and use their special tool to open the lock for inspection. This prevents your luggage from being pried open and damaged. Go through the inspection process quickly and easily.
- Red Pole Open Alert: A red pole will rise above the surface of the lock to notify you that a TSA member has used his special tool to open the lock. The pole will return to its original spot when you set it to your private combination.
- Set-Your-Own Combination: The factory combination of the lock is 000; and you can set your own permutation easily.
- 3-Digit Combination: With three digits, there are 1000 combinations or permutations possible. This will greatly decrease the chance of your items being stolen.
- Heavy Duty Lock With a Sturdy Shackle: Zinc-infused die-cast metal shackle provides the maximum security and protection.
You can purchase it on Amazon!

I just registered with geekzone and I am glad that you guys have a good forum going.
Has anyone used the Nokia N90 before? Any thoughts / reviews from New Zealand users?
Only parallel imported shops are selling the N90 right now. Does anyone know when it will be officially released in New Zealand? It's been out in other countries for 1.5 months and I know it's coming in the first week of October in Aussie.
Thanks everyone!

Manado Dive SitesMyanados Dive Sites
This is a very good place for beginners where they will be learning to dive. The name Depan Kampung means "in front of the village" and is located in the south-eastern part of the island Bunaken. This is a highlight of a wide range of Burak topographies. There is a shallow coral cliff here, often populated by large groups of trevallies, mackerel and bat fish.
Fishes here are usually less fearful and scuba diver can get very near the sea level. Situated on the southeast side of Pulau Bunaken, these three spotlights are mainly suitable for scuba-diving. The mandolin is situated on the straits between Bunaken and Manado Tua, and the current at this point can be powerful and produce large pelagic and scholastic sorts.
There are about 16 dive sites around Pulau Bunaken and Sachiko's Point is one of the places full of a great diversity of coral and sponge. It' called after a japanes travel agent, who declared this dive site to his preferred dive site. Tunjung Parigi is another must on the lovely Bunaken isle.
Situated in the north-eastern part of the isle. It is definitely the best dive site around Pulau Bunaken, some may even say it is the best dive site in Indonesia. Within the first 5m you can see such a great diversity of marine life that even deep water dives do not offer you such an option.
The Manado Tua is actually a resting vulcano, which rises westward of the Bunaken and has 4 dive sites around it. There are about 6 dive sites around Pulau Montehage and among them Bango Point has the widest diversity of coral and game. Coral includes cabbages, boulders and acropora, among the freshwater pearls are wrasses, parrotfishes, snapper and scalaro.
Beside Bango Point, Barracuda Point is also worth a look.
The Pulau Siladen is one of the 5 major islets in Bunaken National Marine Park. It' the smallest of the five isles and is closest to Manado, about 30 min by canoe. It is the place where you will most likely end up when a powerful stream brings you southwards over Mike's Point.

#DGDCheeryUppy 5 E make like an Elephant; sock in fly, pockets out. Make trumpet noises. I dare you not to feel like a 4 yearold 😀 Photo is of a #Butterfly in our #front #garden #lavender #hedge
I'm reliably informed that lavender is a natural remedy for …mosquito bites and stings; crush a few leaves in your fingers then rub them on the ouchy; and that in oil form it's great for headaches (cure of, not creation)
However my personal favourite that I have tried and tested with *controlled experiments* (well, a couple of rooms with, a couple without!) it's a spider deterrent – Huzzah!! We've a lot of lavender in our classically small city front garden, so each year when it's pruning time, I take the heads and fill a couple of paper bags – the ones with the swing handles – and hang them off the door knobs of most of our rooms.
A more organised person would have pretty fabric bags to fill; but my time is always too short for that it seems…too full of cake baking, jamming, jewellery-making and book reading (not necessarily in that order, to misquote the great Mr M)
The bunnies get the rest; they scoff it and then lie around looking exceptionally sated.

Bird Coaching And Hand Rearing
09 Aug 2018 17:50
In cockatoos with cloacal prolapse, attribute—albeit speculated—historical findings embody hand-rearing; delayed weaning; bonding to a particular individual; and display of behaviors corresponding to continued begging for food, sexual arousal, and tendency to hold feces for a chronic interval (which can have been stimulated further by potty coaching by the proprietor).147 These behaviors may stimulate prolonged and recurrent cloacal straining; subsequent cloacal stretching, dilatation, and prolapse (see Determine 5-forty nine); and distension and flaccidity of the cloacal sphincter.Some bought the hen merge mp3 on impulse after a slick sales pitch by a pet shop employee or chicken breeder who minimized how demanding bigger parrots might be. Actually, parrots require considerably extra time and a focus than dogs and cats. Cockatoos and other pets, reminiscent of canine and cats, could or could not develop a pleasant relationship with one another.For an in depth parrot training system that probably turns your fowl into a fun, loving companion in addition to studying plenty of cool tricks, attempt Chet Womach's Parrot Coaching Course Keep in mind that taming and coaching a bird takes endurance, never 'punish' your pet! College students with Birds Blog was founded by me: Sarah, a parrot slave with a penchant for analysis and a knack for coaching animals.Birds that take food on the wing take a long time to hone their searching expertise, without some training, and assistance with handouts for a time, these birds is not going to survive. Cockatiels can mimic many sounds, such because the bleep of a automobile alarm , a ringing telephone , the sound of a zipper, the beeping of cell phones or microwaves, or the calls of other chook species equivalent to blue jays or chickadees and loud weather like thunder They will also mimic other pets corresponding to canines, occasionally barking back. (e) African Grey Parrot in a holding cage in a pet retailer; the plastic food and water dishes are held in their designed openings with spring clips, with further security supplied by canine clips. Depending on the species of bird, unlike canines and cats for instance, they'll reside as much as 80 years of age and with a lot love and care can become one of the crucial invaluable pets in the house.Dogs have evolved to dwell with humans during the last 27,000 years ( ref ) parrots since perhaps, the 1930s ( ref ). The parrot's means to mimic human speech is, at the identical time, its most lovable and its most deceptive trait. It is simple to forget that parrots are wild spirits of the tropical savannahs, not domesticated companions like dogs and cats that match comfortably into the average human household.

My name is Aaron and I am a youth pastor from the Chicagoland area. I love TIME Ministries. My students love TIME Ministries. Our church loves TIME Ministries. For twenty years now our church has been sending groups to Monterrey with TIME Ministries. From its old location at the Elim church to its new location at the TIME Center in El Alamo, the mission of reaching the lost with the Gospel has remained the same. TIME works tirelessly to see young and old respond to the Gospel and get connected to the local church.
Connecting people to the local church is what I love most about TIME Ministries in Monterrey. Too often we see people come to Christ through the efforts of short-term groups but the organization fails to connect these people to a local church. The staff in Monterrey have connected with a vibrant and growing church called Nuevo Pacto. They are consistently connecting families with this church through their partnership. As a youth pastor I am responsible for leading many trips throughout the year. Partnering with TIME Ministries helps ease the burden of our summer mission trip. With TIME, all I have to do is choose my dates and purchase my airline tickets.
The rest of the logistics are taken care of by the TIME staff on the field in Monterrey. I have lead trips with other organizations which do not make the logistic planning nearly as easy. Since I do not have to take care of any other logistics like transportation, housing, or meals it frees me up to really prepare my students for the ministry we will be part of while on the field. This is a much better use of my time while preparing for the trip. With all of the logistics taken care of for me by the TIME staff, as a trip leader I have plenty of time and space to listen and respond to what the Holy Spirit is trying to teach me. I don't just love TIME Ministries because they are connecting people to the local church or because they take care of all the logistics for me.
I also love TIME Ministries because of what God has done in my life through this organization. I have now been on twelve short-term trips with TIME Ministries in Monterrey. Each time I travel to Monterrey God does a tremendous work in my own life. When I was a junior in high school God used the work in Monterrey to call me to full-time vocational ministry. During our March 2017 trip God had some important lessons to teach me. I had the time and the space to be able to listen.
That specific trip has turned out to be the most influential short-term trip in my life because of the fruit it has produced. If short-term missions is new for you and your church, TIME Ministries is a great place to start. I personally guarantee that you will have a great experience. Not only will God use you to bring about eternal fruit for His Kingdom in others, he will also bring about eternal fruit in your life. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. God bless!

The priest, Father David Crowley, went on to rapea 10-year-old altar boy, whom he continued to abuse until 1995. Now thevictim has spoken publicly for the first time about his ordeal in orderto expose the 'scandalous' way he says the church has behaved. He hasaccused the Rt Rev David Konstant, former Bishop of Leeds, of failingto stop Crowley despite having evidence that the priest was a sex riskto children. In 1997 Crowley was jailed for nine years after pleadingguilty to abusing boys for more than a decade.
Documentsshow that in 1987 while Konstant was Bishop of Leeds, he was told of anincident where Crowley had 'facilitated' sexual activities betweenyoung boys in Huddersfield after allowing them to drink alcohol. Aletter seen by The Observer shows that on 12 March that year, Konstantwrote to Crowley telling him that 'the grave scandal' means 'it willnot be possible for you to work again as a priest in this diocese'.
Achurch report that month stated: 'He [Crowley] does not fit into theusual psychological profile of a true paedophile. The behaviour wouldnot be too alarming in an early adolescent boy. In an adult [33 yearsold] who has a sacred trust and is a member of the clergy it is ofcourse enormously serious and utterly inappropriate and a bar to hispractising his priesthood. He has already been told that there is nopossibility of his ever functioning as a priest in the diocese ofLeeds.'
A later report concluded that although he behaved in a'grossly unsuitable way, he is not a paedophile'. It said his behaviourwas primarily caused by the misuse of alcohol and 'emotionalimmaturity'.
Rather than report the incident to the police,Konstant, who had suspended Crowley, sent him for 'counselling'. Withina few months Konstant helped Crowley to find a new post in Devon. Hewas made to sign a contract to restrict his contact with young people,but went on to abuse in Torquay and Barnstaple. Even though concernswere raised about his continued contact with young boys in the south ofEngland, he was allowed to return to Yorkshire - despite Konstant'searlier pledge that he would never again work as a priest in thediocese of Leeds - and entered into another period of sexual abuse.
Paul(not his real name) was among Crowley's victims when the priestreturned to Yorkshire. He was raped by Crowley as a 10-year-old altarboy. Over four years from 1991, Paul was subject to frequent sexualabuse by the priest who got other boys to perform sex acts on him. 'Hewouldn't care what was happening,' Paul said. 'Even if there was afuneral taking place or a wedding, he would wait for his opportunity.Sometimes he would be very aggressive, pushing me down on the floor andassaulting me.'
Paul only went to the police in 2004 after he hadplucked up the courage to tell his family. By then, Crowley was inprison. He had been arrested while working as a hospital chaplain inBradford and was jailed in 1998 for nine years after admitting a stringof sex attacks on young boys over an 11-year period. He pleaded guiltyto 12 offences of indecent assault on boys under 16 and three ofindecency with a child. In prison Crowley admitted to the police thathe had abused Paul, but the Crown Prosecution Service decided there wasno public interest in staging another trial.
Paul is now takinglegal action against Konstant and the diocese for negligence, but theyare refusing to admit liability. The church argues that at the timethere were 'no allegations of paedophilic activity' made againstCrowley and they took appropriate steps. Lawyers for the trustees ofthe diocese claim the events happened too long ago and they have beenadvised that Konstant is extremely ill and unable to assist. This ischallenged by Paul and his lawyers who say Konstant has been involvedin a number of public activities since retiring. Konstant, 76, suffereda minor stroke in 2001, but continued working as Bishop of Leeds until2004. In July this year he received an honorary degree from theUniversity of Bradford, where he made a speech and attended a dinner.
Anacademic present at the dinner has said in a witness statement: 'Heappeared to have no problems in speaking or walking around. There wasno visible indication he was suffering from any form of illness orinfirmity.' In October, Konstant presided at a celebratory Mass to markthe 20th anniversary of the opening of St Joseph's church in Wetherbyand last month he spoke at the reopening of the cathedral church of StAnne in Leeds. However, illness recently prevented him attending aspecial Mass for his successor as Bishop of Leeds.
Paul isfurious at how the church has behaved as he has attempted to getjustice and an apology. Two years ago he attempted suicide. 'Thephysical side of this was terrible,' he said, 'but the way the churchhas behaved since I decided to come forward has been even worse. It hasbeen a kind of excruciating mental torture. Why don't they just saysorry and offer to help me and my family? They knew this priest was adanger to children but did nothing, and he went on to destroy the livesof dozens of boys, including my own.'
Paul's lawyer, RichardScorer of Pannone, a Manchester law firm, said: 'Considering all thepublic engagements Bishop Konstant has been involved in over the pastfew months, I was astonished when they told me he was too ill to assistthe court.'
The Observer tried to contact Konstant, but herefused to talk on the phone or be interviewed. He said: 'I havenothing to say about this. I am retired.'
A spokesman for thediocese of Leeds said: 'Neither Bishop David Konstant, nor the dioceseof Leeds, has been asked whether the bishop's state of health preventedhim responding to questions about this litigation. The suggestion thathis health had become an issue has come as a complete surprise both tothe bishop and to his successor, Arthur Roche.
'The Crowley casedates back to the Eighties and Nineties. The diocese reported thematter to the police when it first became aware of the allegations.'
Thisis not the first time the diocese has been involved in a sex abusescandal. Earlier this year, The Observer reported how it had covered upthe criminal past of paedophile priest, Neil Gallanagh, and gave him ajob in a school for deaf children, where he went on to sexually assaultvulnerable young boys.

I have received several notes expressing interest in philosophy club. So let's get something going! What sort of events would you like to see? Watch parties, lectures, debates, games, tournaments – any ideas?
MASH and the coronavirus
Perhaps some readers of this blog will remember the great television show MASH. Some clever person saw hints of the coronavirus in several episodes.
Learning during the COVID19 crisis
My friend Dr Walz, who teaches philosophy at University of Dallas, wrote an interesting reflection today on learning during COVID19. He used C.S. Lewis' sermon "Learning in War-Time" as the starting point for his reflection, though he stresses the distinction between COVID19 and actual war. Dr Walz has interesting insights for teachers and students as we try to learn in this unique situation. Worth a read, so click here.
Course offerings next fall!
Admittedly, it's hard to imagine a normal semester at this point, but assuming we'll have one, the following pdf covers what it should look like, so far as philosophy is concerned!

Fresh from its debut at the 2016 Borneo Safari 4X4 Challenge, the isuzu MU-X has garnered 'Vehicle of the Year' accolade at the toughest 4X4 offroad cevent in East Malaysia. Isuzu Malaysia supported the Borneo Safari for the tenth consecutive year, and the company has affirmed a pledge to support the East Malaysian international offroad challenge for years to come.
According to Borneo Safari Organizers, this year's event was the toughest in 12 years. Daily rains caused a two-day delay as the nearly 430-strong convoy struggled with slippery and muddy conditions and numerous steep uphill and downhill slopes that tested driving skills to the limit. "Yet the Isuzu mu-X performed flawlessly, even in the ultra-tough hard core section of the trail that stretched some 30 km from the entrance arch near Kampung Garung to Timberwell Camp that took three days to complete. It did not require any change of spare parts or any repairs, which speaks volumes of its quality and reliability," Organizing Committee Chairman Faez A Nordin said.
Isuzu Malaysia Executive Director Hajime Machimura expressed delight that the Isuzu mu-X Monster made a successful debut and emerged with its reputation enhanced. The three 'battle-hardened' Isuzu D-Max Monsters that accompanied the mu-X Monster also successfully completed the challenge. "This 'proven-at-Borneo-Safari' badge is one that every Isuzu can wear with pride. It is also timely as we have just launched our refreshed range of D-Max and mu-X last week."
Modifications to the Isuzu mu-X were limited to the exterior as the 2.5-liter VGS turbo Intercooler diesel engine matched to a 5-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift remained stock standard.
The MU-X is endowed with an attractive face in standard version that is bold and tough yet refined, a slick combo that is perfect for the times. Isuzu has proven with the D-Max that you don't need to look boring or utilitarian to be a tough pickup truck. The MU-X on the other hand, takes the same concept and rams it down its competitors' throats in the 7-seater SUV category.
At a glance, Isuzu's SUV presents sharp, angular feature lines across the front. The front fascia blends cohesively well with the rest of the car to generate a smart and refined outlook. Meantime, the articulate headlights slant upwards with a tenacity of a thoroughbred workhorse. The rear combination lights combine rather well with the fresh looking bumper with rear foglights and extended tailgate with a chrome accent.

Following the unveiling of the console version of Battlefield 3, some questions came up from concerned gamers that weren't impressed with the visual fidelity of the PS3 version, when compared to the incredibily crisp visuals we've seen on the PC version of the game. Today, DICE announced that the game is running at 30 FPS on consoles. This is mostly attributable to the technical constraints that home consoles have, though it's not anything new. DICE always does 30 FPS on console due to vehicles, physics, destruction, and scale of the game.
The video which caused all of the concern by gamers can be found here, where the game was revealed for the first time during "Game Week" on Jimmy Fallon.

A lot has been said and written about the negative impact of fake news. A robust verification process is often touted as the surest way of guarding against the so called alternative facts. But even the best assembled fact-checking mechanisms have been known to fail miserably. The real threat of fake news though, is how easily people believe the deception.
It especially seems like for the majority, any information posted on the Internet comes with a secret 'doubt-free' ingredient.
How else can one explain the incredible level of susceptibility, that makes even the most twisted story so believable?
Case in point, I was, queueing for hours to get essential Kenyan government services.
And despite gallant efforts to resist, I found myself becoming a very active listener of a conversation behind me.
A number of public personalities were given a not so private dress-down, with the discussion revolving around their ill-gotten wealth, perceived celebrity statuses, ruined relationships and even failed marriages.
I was tempted to intervene, when the name of someone I know personally was floated, and the chatter descended into outright falsehoods.
Now that's the real threat of fake news.
The kind of misinformation being exchanged at the hyper-local level is truly scary and the monster that social media has become is hugely to blame.
Indeed, online platforms have enabled those hell-bent to cause maximum damage, to have their own paradise on earth.
The fuel sustaining this gullibility could be the tremendously sophisticated way online information is packaged, that makes it hard to discern lies from the truth.
So now more than ever, is the time to sharpen one's internal truth-sensing instincts, for one to survive this onslaught of fake news.
An uncompromising critique of how the media covers topical issues, challenging traditional journalism concepts and charting fresh interpretations of news.
