Philadelphia Orchestra announces China tour
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Forty years after it became the first U.S. orchestra to visit China, the Philadelphia Orchestra is planning to go back with a new tour and new program.
The orchestra on Wednesday announced plans for a summer tour and outreach program that will visit Hangzhou, Shanghai, Tianjin, Beijing and Macao between May 29 and June 10.
In addition to performances the orchestra plans a grassroots exchange with young Chinese musicians.
Donald Runnicles will conduct seven performances during the tour. Under legendary conductor Eugene Ormandy the orchestra visited China in 1973 as part of a historic thaw in relations between the two countries.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary musicians from the China National Symphony Orchestra and musicians from The Philadelphia Orchestra will come together for a celebratory performance at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing on June 6.
The Philadelphia Orchestra said it "looks toward a rich future in China" defined by a commitment to serving as a cultural ambassador for the United States.
The tour is part of a rebuilding project that began after the orchestra stunned music lovers in 2011 by becoming the first major U.S. orchestra to seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization. The world-renowned 112-year-old orchestra had struggled with dwindling attendance and donations, shrinking endowment income, the recession and an aging audience.
The orchestra emerged from bankruptcy last year.

Foreign domestic workers make up around 3 per cent of the Hong Kong population. In 2013, there were some 320,000 foreign domestic helpers in Hong Kong, of which 50 per cent were from the Philippines, 47 per cent from Indonesia, and the rest from Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Hong Kong law states that such workers must reside with their employers. Their wages are subject to a statutory minimum of HK$4,010 per month from September 30 last year. There have been several high-profile court cases in which domestic workers have alleged torture and abuse at the hands of their employers. According to a 2013 report by Amnesty International, Indonesian migrant domestic workers are at risk of serious human and labour rights violations in Hong Kong.
Europe's economic troubles are washing up on Hong Kong's shores in the form of a surge in migrants from the continent coming to the city to work.Saturday, 28 July, 2012, 12:00am
Complaints about agencies providing domestic helpers are on the increase, with employers feeling cheated when new staff never arrive, quit within days of starting or lack the necessary skills.16 May 2012 - 12:00am
Immigration chiefs have 'tolerated' a Filipino woman's presence in Hong Kong for the last five years but have refused to officially extend her stay despite her daughter being a permanent resident, a court heard.
Former domestic helper Milagros Tecson Comilang yesterday officially challenged the Immigration Department's repeated refusal to formally extend her stay in the city.9 May 2012 - 12:00am
Hong Kong's Court of Appeal yesterday overturned a landmark ruling that gave tens of thousands of domestic helpers the right to apply for permanent residency.29 Mar 2012 - 12:00am
Cheung Chun-fai was totally opposed when his daughter first broached the idea of hiring a maid to help care for his Alzheimer's stricken wife, Wong Mui-ling.
'I found the idea of having a stranger in the house unnerving. I am strong, and I have no problem tending to her needs,' says the 78-year-old former taxi driver.26 Feb 2012 - 12:00am
The head of the Immigration Department yesterday dismissed suggestions that the government had resorted to scare tactics in its fight against pleas by domestic helpers to be allowed the right of abode in Hong Kong.21 Jan 2012 - 12:00am
The number of foreign domestic helpers applying for right of abode went from an average of just one a month before September's landmark permanent residency ruling to more than 200 a month after it.
While this represents just a tiny fraction of the 125,000 helpers who have lived in Hong Kong for at least seven years, it is a significant rise.20 Jan 2012 - 12:00am
Interest of locals must come first
I refer to the unrest over the domestic helpers' right of abode case.
Given the sensitive nature of the issue, I don't wish to comment on where I stand in the debate, but there are a few points I do wish to raise.28 Oct 2011 - 12:00am
A coalition of foreign domestic helper unions is launching a survey to find out how many maids plan to stay in Hong Kong permanently.28 Oct 2011 - 12:00am
A Filipino couple fought in court yesterday for their right of abode, in the first case following the victory of a domestic helper last month.
The judicial review at the Court of First Instance was brought by Daniel and Irene Domingo, who have been living in Hong Kong for 26 and 29 years respectively, with three children born here.19 Oct 2011 - 12:00am
We must hire more disabled people
Disabled people are still not accepted into the workforce, even though more have a higher level of education than in the past. The public, government and companies all bear responsibility for this discrimination.19 Oct 2011 - 12:00am
Unless you count yourself among Hong Kong's wealthiest citizens, it's likely that you fell behind economically in the last few years - and fell hard.11 Oct 2011 - 12:00am
Ruling has serious implications
The court ruling in favour of the right of a foreign domestic worker to apply for abode in Hong Kong needs urgent consideration and debate by the government and the wider public.
If this was just a one-off case, then I would not be concerned and would wish Evangeline Banao Vallejos good luck with her application for residency.6 Oct 2011 - 12:00am
The issue of whether foreign domestic helpers should be granted permanent residency has been in the news lately.
I think they should definitely not receive permanent residency status, although they have contributed a lot to our society.28 Sep 2011 - 12:00am
If you think of money as the lubricant in civil society, hoarding it is the equivalent of seizing up an engine. When cash is allowed to pile up, the lubricant- payments for goods and services that allow people, in turn, to pay for more goods and services (plus provisions for those who cannot work)- ceases to flow.18 Sep 2011 - 12:00am

Smart Edge of Tomorrow Keeps Killing Tom Cruise

Allen plays Ray, a safecracker whose aspirations far outstrip his intelligence. Since getting out of the slammer, Ray has been working as a dishwasher in New York City; his loving wife, Frenchy (Tracey Ullman), makes more money as a manicurist. But Ray has his eyes on a neighborhood bank that looks ripe for the robbing. A pizzeria two doors down has just gone bust, and Ray figures it'll be a piece of cake to rent the space, open up a dummy business, and dig a tunnel over to the bank. He enlists the aid of two friends -- Denny (Michael Rapaport) and Tommy (Tony Darrow) -- presumably the only two guys in all five boroughs stupider than he is. He also recruits Benny (Jon Lovitz), an arsonist he knew in prison.
Frenchy, clearly the smarter and stronger of the two, doesn't like the plan, but eventually she goes along with it, agreeing to run a cookie store upstairs as a cover. And she brings in her cousin May (Elaine May) to help, despite the fact that May, unbelievably, is even dumber than the guys downstairs. To everyone's surprise, the cookie store starts doing huge business.
Less than a third of the way through, we leap ahead a year. All the conspirators are now incredibly wealthy thanks to Frenchy's cookies. But the money goes to Frenchy's head. She aspires to be part of society, to be educated in all the finer things. Ray, for his part, couldn't care less: He's tired of eating escargots and quail eggs and would be happier with a cheeseburger, thank you.
Frenchy hires David (Hugh Grant), a charming but not very successful art dealer, to become their tutor in refinement. But when Ray washes his hands of the whole thing, Frenchy starts to fall for David, who, of course, represents everything that Ray isn't.
Small Time Crooks is much closer in tone to Mighty Aphrodite or Radio Days or, most particularly, Broadway Danny Rose. There are no startling human insights or hair-tearing examinations of the agonies of existence. If anything, this is a mild-mannered screwball comedy -- a tribute to lovable losers. In many ways, it has more to do with The Honeymooners -- an association Allen blatantly makes a few times. Ray and Frenchy have a blend of love and contentiousness similar to Ralph and Alice Kramden. Like Ralph, Ray is constantly threatening his wife with exaggerated physical violence. Jackie Gleason was such a big lovable baby that we always knew it was sheer bluster that he'd never act on. Allen may not be nearly as lovable on screen -- not many actors are -- but we know from the start that he's never going to act on his threats, because Frenchy could take him out in one punch.
In fact, one of the minor shocks in the film is just how old Allen looks: His 64 years are quite evident, perhaps all the more noticeable because it's been three years since we've seen much of him. There will doubtless be complaints that once again he's cast himself opposite a much younger woman -- Ullman just turned 40 -- but at least this time out, his one extramarital flirtation is with May, who is presumably a few years older than he. Actually, May shows her years much less than Allen. She also manages to walk away with nearly every scene she's in. In a story populated almost entirely with dimwits, she creates the grandest dimwit of all. Her character's cheery, well-intentioned obliviousness is irresistible.
Indeed, one of the things that makes the film work is the love and sympathy Allen ultimately grants all the dumb characters. Frenchy may be smarter than Ray in many ways, but for much of the film he can see more clearly than she can. Nearly all these misbegotten losers have moments where they display some variety of intelligence; and certainly they all show some finer qualities than many of the "smarter" characters.

TiVo Wins Appeal On Patents For Pause, Ffwd, Rwd 215
from the satellites-descending dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Found a link to the device I was using:
http://www.laserdiscarchive.co.uk/laserdisc_archive/pioneer/pioneer_vdr-v1000/pioneer_vdr-v1000.htm [laserdiscarchive.co.uk]
So it was half the price I remembered.
As well as being able to use both heads in playback mode you could use them in record/playback, playback/erase and erase/record.
My system started with both machines with erased disks. It then started recording on machine 1. Once the disk was full it continued recording on machine 2. Once the second disk was full it returned to machine 1.
Additionally, as recording started on disk2, erasing started on disk1. This cycle uses one head on each machine and can, in theory, continue indefinitely. In order to avoid any dropped frames, I actually started recording on machine 2 a few seconds before machine 1 disk was full so the system could only be run for a finite (but very long) time before needing to stop and erase the disks to start again.
The other head on each machine was then used for playback.
What I don't get is how the videodisc instant replay stuff they used back in the 1970s or early 80s didn't completely kill this patent through prior art. It's not like this is the first time a ring buffer of recordable video media has been used to pause a live video signal and play it back (optionally in slow motion, even). The networks have been doing this literally for decades. The only thing novel about this patent is that the ring buffer is stored digitally and compressed on the spinning platters (and thus it is practical for them to keep 30 minutes of ring buffer instead of 30 seconds).
If they weren't able to challenge it successfully, either their lawyers are inept or the judge is clueless or both. This patent has no more merit than the "on the internet" patents. In fact, it is literally a "do something that has been done for years, but with a computer" patent. How people can get patents on something like that is beyond me. It is a new use of an existing technology---something patents are not supposed to cover. I'm stunned that any competent judge ruled in TiVo's favor, frankly. I'm particularly disappointed that the Supreme Court denied certiorari. This is a pretty clear-cut case of patent abuse, IMHO....
To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so.

Freddie Gibbs - Bobble Head
Artist: Freddie Gibbs
Producer: Finger Roll
Album: Untitled (Coming Soon)
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 3 votes )
Hailing from the seldom-repped city of Gary, Indiana, is newcomer Freddie Gibbs (real name, no gimmicks). His first single, Bobble Head, might be easily mistaken for a typical dance song (judging from the catchy chorus); once you listen to the verses though, you will know Freddie's no dance artist. A Bone Thugs/Do or Die influence is evident by his melodic hardcore, fast-paced flow. Suitably accompanied by Finger Roll's eerie production, look for Bobble Head to help make Freddie one of the biggest new artists of the year.

I almost didn't buy this because Tahari suits are all over the place with sizing and their polyester fabrics are really polyester (the kind you can wad up and shake out to wear). Not my idea of quality. Well, I bit the bullet and have to say that Tahari hit a home run on this one. The color is beautiful. Its grape (deep purple) but the herringbone adds texture and a little bit lighter purple woven throughout. I would highly recommend this suit.

Listen Technologies Ships Wi-Fi Personal Listening Products
â Based on extensive research and testing with venue owners and end users, company innovates with Wi-Fi Personal Listening solutions â
â Using digital Wi-Fi transmission, audio is delivered to any Wi-Fi-enabled device with audio streaming capability, such as an iPhone or Android â
BLUFFDALE, UT â Listen Technologies Corporation, a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of assistive listening products for over 15 years, is pleased to announce that it recently began shipping its Wi-Fi Personal Listening products. These systems offer a no-hassle listening experience by broadcasting audio from multiple televisions or other audio sources using digital Wi-Fi transmission. The sound is then delivered to any Wi-Fi-enabled device with audio streaming capability, such as an iPhone or Android. This system allows contractors and system integrators to upgrade the listening experience for customers in venues such as fitness centers, sports bars, airports and waiting rooms.
Two versions of the system are currently available: LS-PL-10 and the LS-PL-20, for 10- and 20-channel configurations, each with the following features:
LAN port to connect to Wireless Access Points for Wi-Fi broadcast of the Personal Listening network
ISP connectivity to provide Internet access for users connected to the Personal Listening network
Users can listen to any of the audio inputs via smartphone and the Personal Listening App, available as a free download for iOS and Android devices
Low latency
Preconfigured Wi-Fi and server settings, simply connect your TV audio or other sources
Management of channel names
Future software updates will add enhancements and increased functionality
These systems are already proving to be the right solution for a range of businesses.
âWith Listenâs Wi-Fi Personal Listening system, we were able to offer our members the ability to listen to any of our TVâs anywhere in our club using their own iPhone or Android device,â stated Scott Felsted, CEO, Goldâs Gym Utah. âOur members are definitely more comfortable using their own headphones or ear buds, and it has eliminated the hassle of maintaining extra AV hardware at each machine.â
With installations in fitness centers, sport bars and tourist centers across North America, Listen is confident this new technology will be a perfect complement to its RF, IR and Loop technologies. These facilities are thrilled about the elimination of the hassle of maintaining, upgrading and servicing the hardware used for multiple TV screens and other sources. The result is happier customers who are able to use their devices for personal listening.
âWhen we launched our Android and iOS apps in December of 2013, the response was extremely positive,â stated Russell Gentner, CEO of Listen Technologies. âWi-Fi Personal Listening Products are obviously the next phase in assistive listening, and we are proud to lead the charge in being able not only to provide an enhanced customer experience but also to raise the profile of assistive listening to the mainstream community.â

Hero or villain? Historians debate the legacy of King Richard IIItags: Richard III, Yahoo News, villian, hero, Suzannah Lipscomb
...Described as "deformed" and "unfinish'd", jealous, and ambitious hunchback in Shakespeare's play, which was first performed in the 1590s, it is difficult to know if the man the playwright said battled on foot and cried out "A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!", is a true reflection of the king, or merely a creation of imagination.
According to scientists at the University of Leicester, there is evidence of curvature of the spine - suggesting the unattractive quality had not been a slander by those who opposed Richard....
Historian Suzannah Lipscomb wrote in a BBC online article: "It is not surprising that for centuries Richard III has been synonymous with evil tyranny and physical deformity.
"To argue otherwise has been to take on three of history's greats - Sir Thomas More, William Shakespeare and Winston Churchill, all of whom argued that Richard had been a man with a crooked back and a crooked life."...

Historical Traveler Reviews Hyannis Holiday Motel
Great place to stay
we had a great time in cape cod. the office was extremely helpful. the rooms are very large and well cleaned. they are a little outdated, however very well priced for the area. there is a lot to do within walking distance. the harbor is right across the street and live entertainment with beautiful sunset cruises on the weekends. Parking can be as much as 15 dollars in this area. what a treat to be right in the action. we will be back..
We loved Cape Cod
We booked our reservations online and after reading some of the reviews we were very wary yet upon check-in, we were pleasantly surprised with the accommodations which were good size rooms and clean. The friendly staff were very informative with places to see and most importantly directions. The motel was only 100 yards from the ferryboats going to Nantucket island which we took a day trip to Nantucket island and biked to surf side beach. One day we drove to Provincetown via scenic Route 6A which was a great route to take and we saw the best sunset at Coast Guard beach in Provincetown. We loved Cape Cod and we can't wait to get back in the fall which we already booked another reservation with the Hyannis Holiday upon checking-out.
Great Cape Cod vacation
My family fell in love with Cape Cod. We booked our trip via the internet and we were so happy to have found the Hyannis Holiday, the location was great we walked to downtown Main Street played mini-golf and had a great dinner at Up The Creek Again restaurant. We took a trip to Nantucket via hy-line which departed directly across from the motel. We also drove scenic Rte 6A which the innkeeper gave us great direction to Provincetown which we took a whale watch cruise that was fantastic once in a life time well worth seeing. Our accommodations were very clean and the motel room was quite large. It was great to wake up each morning and have free coffee and watch the fishing boats leave the harbor. We will be back!!
We would not stay here again.
We chose this hotel based only on internet information and thought being near the harbor meant we could walk to any nearby attractions. It did have a harbor view but the room wasn't worth what we payed for it. Our room smelled like mildew and the electric plugs in the bathroom didn't even work. The indoor pool is unheated and there has to be a staff member sitting with you to be able to use it, so we had no privacy. The only walking you can do is to the two nearby restaurants and a gift shop. We ended up paying over $100/night for a cheap room that anywhere else would have been set at about $40. If the harbor view is something you must have then shell out the extra money to stay at the two other (much nicer) hotels right next to it, or find a hotel farther up the cape closer to the shore. Otherwise, I would recommend staying elsewhere in Hyannis-you have to drive to everything anyway.
Great Location and Great Family Run Motel
This is a great family run motel. The front desk staff is the best. They are extremely friendly and very helpful. The motel's owners are there each day. You can meet the son and the father. They will help you out with whatever you need. The rooms are simply decorated and clean. The views of Hyannis Harbor are wonderful. The prices per night are very reasonable. This is a very simple and plain motel with little frills. The rooms do need to have alarm clocks in them. However, I highly reccommend this to anyone who wants a great price and good location.
Bad hotel, good location
We chose to stay at the Hyannis Holiday Motel after reading the positive reviews on this site. I do agree with a couple of points made in the other reviews. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Also, the location is great for access to the harbor and to downtown Hyannis. The beaches are about a mile from the hotel with limited sidewalks so it's not a comfortable walk to the beach.
On the downside, the carpets are so dirty that they turned our feet or socks black after about 10 minutes. The continental breakfast is a joke...watered down Tang and some Hostess Crumb Cakes served on folding tables. The room is nothing special, about Red Roof Inn quality. There are no closets, just dry cleaning hangers in the room and you get shampoo in packets, not bottles.
Cloudy Day - busy
We arrived at this hotel after going through so much traffic on a cloudy day in holiday season, very tired. Found motel by accident. First impression - staff, so helpful and friendly (seemed to know what we had gone through!!) Room was big, clean if basic, view lovely over bay, close to Main Street with shops and restaurants. Only spent one night wished we had stayed longer - excellant value - parking FREE. Would we go back? Yes!
The staff was amazing
My husband and I haven't been on a vacation alone in years, this was our first and the staff at the Hyannis Holiday Motel couldn't have made our trip any better. From the moment we checked in, the front desk girl was a wealth of information. I asked her if she'd be interested in being our tour guide for our stay, she was able to pick the highlites of the area that we would benefit most from. The pool lady was just as friendly, but firm with the little ones, which was nice. Being away from our kids, we weren't looking forward to be splashed by someone elses, but the pool guard was able to keep things under control. The 1 thing that will always stand out in my mind about this stay, was the cleanliness of our room. Everything seemed to shine. And the housekeepers were like clockwork, we knew each morning when our room would be made up. The other thing that has us convinced that this is our new vacation spot, we were able to meet the owners. These are the actual people who built the motel many years ago. They continue to run and operate today, together as a family. And the location was beautiful. Each morning my husband would run down to the beach, and be back in time to grab a cup of coffee and a donut in their free continental breakfast room. There is so much more to share about this wonderful motel, but I believe that you all need to experience this 1 for yourselves, you will not be disappointed. Service with a smile is almost guaranteed here!
Great Location!
Our room overlooked the harbor. We sat outside our room's balcony and enjoyed watching the ferry boats coming & going. Each morning we got up early to watch the sun rise over the harbor while enjoying our "FREE" continetal breakfast. We were able to walk to downtown Hyannis and to the beaches. We also took a whale watch cruise out of Barnstable harbor which was another beautiful spot especially when the sun sets, the whale watch boat was only a 15 minute drive from the motel. Our favorite restaurant was the Black Cat which was located next door to the motel and after dinner we walked across the street to Spanky's which is right on the harbor for after dinner drinks and we enjoyed the entertainment of some local band. We hope to return next year to olde Cape Cod for another great time.
Friendly Staff & Extremely Clean Rooms
My family and I visited Cape Cod last summer. We stayed at the Hyannis Holiday Motel for four nights. The staff were so freindly to us and the rooms were extremely clean. The motel was so conveniently located we could walk to most everything and we left our car parked for the entire stay. We took a day trip to Nantucket Island on an Hy-Line cruise which was great and that trip was so nice we took another day trip the following day to Martha's Vineyard. The Island cruises were located directly across from the motel. On our third day we walked to kalmus beach just a 10 minutes walk down the road. Each night we walked to downtown Hyannis just a block away and there were numerous restaurants, our favorite was Albertos Italian restaurant great food and nice atmosphere. We are looking forward to our next trip to Cape Cod.

Went for a an Adventerous Jog
Went on a short jog today. It was really fun because we reached a rocky beach that had large boulders where we had the change to practice some parkour and bouldering skills. We then reached a second beach at Quisset Bay, and climbed some trees to the top. We then headed back to campus because we had a ton of work to ...
Sketches and Drawings

Sketching Sceneries
We took a trip to Quisset Bay to practice our sketching skills. We all picked a spot and sat for 1 hour to sketch what we saw. It was slightly snowing, it was cold, and we had a pencil and an eraser. In the the first phot you can see a dock, I was sitting on that dock looking into the bay.
Geocaching with the Crew
Organized a goecache hunt with people from my crew and another crew of SEA semester. We grabbed the bicycles in our basement and went hunting. The first one was in the woods close to campus, the second one was behind a tree on a bike path, and the third one was by the Nabska lighthouse. The sunset was truly amazing. Also the rocks by the ocean had their caps frozen due to the intense cold weather, but forgot to take a photo of ...
... Provincetown to the hotel was a nightmare. Satnav said 65 minutes, reality 150 minutes. The traffic was absolutely atrocious! We amused ourselves by Sherrie quizzing peter on road perception. Result: Peter has no perception whatsoever. We decided to go simple for dinner and go to the place next door, Friendly Burger, a typical US burger diner. It was an experience. From the overly friendly, overly tactile head waitress "call me Anna Banana" who kept herself busy whilst ...

I've put together most of my first mission on Tribble - it's called "The Ghosts of Ramok Nor". It's set on DS9 and Bajor, and involves time travel back to the days of the Occupation.
Here's the summary text:
"Ghosts are haunting an old medical facility on Bajor. The Devidians are not to blame, and the staff of the facility think the apparitions are the tormented spirits of Bajorans tortured during the Cardassian Occupation the terrifying legacy of one of the most notorious war criminals in Bajoran history. Bajor's spiritual leader, Kai Kira, has asked Starfleet to investigate..."
However, I've suspended work on it and I will not be completing it on Tribble - I'll rebuild it from scratch once the Foundry is on Holodeck, which will hopefully be within the next few weeks if the Devs are to be believed!

Interesting and Thought Provoking
This is a good book if you are a fan of JFK, a history major or teacher, and if you enjoy analyzing speeches given by Politicians. I liked that it came with a CD to actually listen to JFK give this speeches. To hear his tone and infliction as he said certain words makes those words take on a whole new meaning. Powerful and thought provoking at times. Said that this man's life was cut short. As a US History teacher I have used part of this book as a teaching tool during the unit on the 60's and JFK Presidency.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

UEFA open Montenegro-Russia probe
MOSCOW (AP) UEFA said Monday it has opened disciplinary proceedings against Montenegro and Russia after a European championship qualifier between the teams was abandoned Friday due to crowd violence.
The game was called off at 0-0 on 67 minutes after Russian player Dmitry Kombarov was hit by an object thrown from the stands and spectators from both sides clashed.
Earlier, the game had been suspended for 30 minutes when a flare hit Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev in the head, leaving him in need of hospital treatment.

Seventh-day Adventist
What Seventh-day Adventists Believe
• Belief in Deity
There is a Trinity of the Father, the Son (Christ), and the Holy Spirit that comprises one God Almighty.
• Incarnations
Jesus Christ is God's only incarnation and is God.
• Origin of Universe and Life
The biblical Book of Genesis is inerrant. Most Seventh-day Adventists hold that, although the universe and our planet are ancient, God created the ordered world and all life forms in less than seven, literally twenty-four hour, days, less than 10,000 years ago--thereby refuting most claims of modern science.
• After Death
Death results in unconsciousness. At any time now, Jesus Christ will return to raise to heaven all the righteous dead and living, resurrect and destroy the wicked and Satan here on earth, and then return the righteous to a paradisiacal earth for eternity with God.
• Why Evil?
Original sin--all people are inherently sinners, prone to evil and subject to Satan's temptations.
• Salvation
Salvation is only by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ alone. But faith must be exhibited through action. Baptism (full immersion) is performed at age of accountability for those "born again" and is regarded as a demonstration of belief, a symbol of union with Christ and forgiveness of sins, and reception of the Holy Spirit. The faithful will obey God's commandments, acknowledge and repent their sins, observe the Sabbath on Saturday, adhere to church moral laws, restrictions, and sacraments, including baptism and communion, care for their body as a temple of the Holy Spirit. Living life as simply and naturally as possible, away from stressful influences, is encouraged. Some modes of entertainment (theater, billiard rooms, dance halls, saloons, most television, movies, etc.) are to be avoided. Schooling at home or at non-government church schools is recommended.
• Undeserved Suffering
Some suffering is caused by the inheritance of mortality originating from Adam and Eve's disobedience to God, which includes vulnerability to illness and disease. Also, Satan pervades the earth, causing pain and suffering. Many believe that suffering is God's design to test, teach, or strengthen belief in Him; the greater the suffering of innocent believers, the greater will be their reward after life.
• Contemporary Issues
Abortion has moral consequences and should only be performed for the most serious reasons. The church acknowledges compelling reasons for a woman to choose abortion, e.g., threat to the life of the woman, rape/incest, extreme congenital abnormalities, etc. After counseling, the final decision is regarded as her own--she is not to be coerced or condemned. Homosexuality is forbidden. Gender equality and womens rights are promoted, but women are not permitted at the highest levels of the church hierarchy and are generally regarded as subordinate to men. Marriage is permanent and divorce only permitted on grounds of adultery/fornication, abandonment by an unbelieving spouse, or physical violence. Remarriage is only permitted if one's spouse committed adultery/fornication. Working for peace is encouraged by the SDA church as a Christian value. Many SDAs refuse combat status in the armed forces, and the church urges strict control of semi- and automatic assault weapons. The church supports community activities for equal rights and justice, antipoverty, education, and the direct provision of health care facilities. The church operates a world-wide network of schools and health care institutions.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Italians select a monster
The winner of election in Italy this week was a mythical beast called "Grillosconi." That is bad news for Italy, for the single European currency, the euro and even for the future of the European Union. Not that "Grillosconi" will ever form a coherent government in Italy. The problem is that he -- or rather, they -- will prevent anybody else from doing that, too.
The newer part of this hybrid beast is Beppe Grillo, a former standup comedian who is essentially an anti-politician. His blog boils with bile against Italy's entire political class, and his public appearances are angry, foul-mouthed, arm-waving rants against the whole system.
Raging against Italy's privileged, corrupt and dysfunctional political class is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, but Grillo's Five Star Movement, which in just a few years grew from nothing to take a quarter of the national vote in last Sunday's election, has nothing useful to put in its place. Just "throw the bums out," and the democratic power of the Internet will solve all of Italy's problems.
"We want to destroy everything," Grillo said in a recent interview with the BBC. "But not rebuild with the same old rubble. We have new ideas." We have heard this sort of talk in Europe before, always from people who turned out to be totalitarians of some sort, whether Communist or fascist. It should not be necessary for Italy to go through all that again.
The older part of the beast is Silvio Berlusconi, the former cruise-ship crooner and billionaire media magnate (he's the richest man in Italy) whose cynical populism has dominated Italian politics for the past 20 years. For more than half of that time he has been the prime minister, and even when he's out of power he dominates the political stage.
Berlusconi is 76 now, but he still manages to generate constant sex scandals. (His "bunga bunga" parties are notorious, and he currently faces charges in connection with an underage prostitute.) He has been fighting charges or appealing against convictions for corruption for the whole time he has been in politics, and kept changing the criminal law to avoid doing jail time. Yet a large number of Italians go on voting for him.
Their devotion is even more inexplicable when you recall that Italy has been in steady economic decline for most of Berlusconi's two decades as the country's dominant political figure. The Italian economy is smaller than it was 12 years ago, over a third of the under-25s are unemployed, and the state auditor estimates 60 billion euros is stolen from the national budget by corrupt politicians every year.
So 29 per cent of Italians voted for Silvio Berlusconi's party in the election last weekend, and 25 per cent voted for Beppe Grillo's. More than half of Italy's voters preferred some part of the "Grillosconi" monster to more serious politicians who talked about fixing the economy, tackling the budget deficit, fighting organized crime and reforming the country's badly broken justice system.
The result is political paralysis: no party or group of parties is able to form a stable government, and there will probably be another election within a year. (Only one Italian government in the past seven decades has served out its full five-year term.) But why should we believe that will produce a better outcome? Grillo confidently predicts his Five Star Movement will win a majority next time, and he might well be right.
Meanwhile, the Italian economy continues to decay, and the government goes on spending money it does not have. One number says it all: about 70,000 Italian public officials are given cars with chauffeurs. (In Britain, the number is 300.) The risk grows that Italy will need a financial bailout so massive that it causes a collapse of the euro.
Why so many Italians put up with this kind of thing passes understanding. But so does the fact that so many of those who are infuriated by it turn to a clown like Grillo, who offers salvation in the form of a web-based direct democracy. The crisis will therefore continue indefinitely.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals receive 'B' offseason grade from USA Today
The NFL offseason is a time for teams to correct the problems from the previous season. Each coach and general manager must work together to fill voids on both sides of the ball with a combination of draft picks, trades and free agent pickups, while also letting go of the right players in order to stay under the salary cap.
According to Nate Davis of USA Today, the Arizona Cardinals did all of this successfully and passed the 2014 NFL offseason with a "B," tied for third with the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Washington Redskins amongst all teams in the NFC.
GM Steve Keim and coach Bruce Arians struck a nice balance between adding players who could vault a 10-win team over the playoff hump while finding others who should be cornerstones immediately or eventually. Keim badly needed a left tackle for immobile QB Carson Palmer and signed young Jared Veldheer for less than top dollar. Veteran Antonio Cromartie and first rounder Deone Bucannon bolster a secondary that should be formidable once injured S Tyrann Mathieu is ready.
The rest of the NFC West also earned high marks. The Seattle Seahawks came in first with an "A-" followed by the St. Louis Rams who earned a "B+" while the San Francisco 49ers rounded out the bottom of the group with a "C+."
While Cardinals fans have to appreciate the praise and seeing the team rank above the 49ers, it's still all talk at this point. Now it's up to the newly acquired talent to prove themselves on the field in order to push Arizona into the playoffs for the first time since 2009.

Latitudes: International Music You Must Hear Now
Originally published on Thu June 12, 2014 11:59 am
Globally, it's been a very busy month for music, especially at the intersection of art and politics. There's the brand-new Pussy Riot video from Sochi published Wednesday, as well a real groundbreaker of a video released on Valentine's Day by the Iranian legend Googoosh — one that celebrates LGBT relationships and apparently has already been widely viewed illegally within Iran itself.
But there is a lot of other great new music to hear — politically topical and not — plus the curious case of a years-old, Balkan-flavored track that's made its way to the heights of the American charts in a slightly different guise. Come take a listen.
