Title: | Effect of tensile strain on grain connectivity and flux pinning in Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox tapes |
Published: | January 17, 2006 |
Abstract: | The grain-to-grain connectivity in Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox tapes is still poorly understood, even though they have been commercially available in long lengths for several years. This letter explains the effects of tensile strain on the grain-to-grain connectivity in Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox tapes. The different length scales at which damage to the grain structure occurs are studied with magneto-optical imaging, scanning-electron microscopy, and transport current. These data show that the initial degradation in critical current when strain exceeds the irreversible strain limit is caused by microcracks ({approximately equal}100-500 nm in width) that form mainly at high-angle grain boundaries. Filament- wide cracks ({approximately equal}5-10 υm in width) form at locations of lower grain density in the filaments at strains far exceeding the irreversible strain limit. However, in contrast to previous reports, a careful analysis of the pinning force as function of tensile strain, taking into account current sharing with the normal matrix by using the offset criterion, shows that intragranular flux pinning is not affected by strain in any significant way. |

About the Program
The Dermatology Residency Training Program in the Department of Dermatology at The University of Iowa is a fully approved, three-year program which provides trainees with educational and practical experience that will enable them to deliver superior specialized skin care to patients.
There is particular emphasis on clinical dermatology and dermatologic surgery. The correlation of cutaneous pathophysiology with clinical disease and response to therapy is strongly emphasized in our clinical services. While the emphasis of training in this department is clinical, research (either clinical or laboratory) is encouraged and adequate time for such research studies will be made available on an individual basis.
There are 13 positions in the Dermatology Residency Training Program. All trainees are expected to complete the three-year program, but appointments are for one year with yearly reappointment. Four or five new residents are accepted per year. The number varies depending upon the number of residents finishing that year. It is expected that all trainees will be eligible to sit for the examination of the American Board of Dermatology (ABD) upon completion of their residency.
The department is located in modern quarters including a clinic with 17 exam rooms, six Mohs surgery rooms, three laser surgery rooms and an ultraviolet therapy room. All of these facilities are immediately below the departmental offices of faculty and residents.
Our state-of-the-art departmental research laboratories, approximately 4,000 square feet, are within walking distance. The department also staffs an outpatient consultation service at the Iowa City Veterans Affairs Medical Center. This facility is located immediately adjacent to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
Approximately 30,000 patient visits are made yearly to the clinical service areas within the department. All patients are available for student and resident teaching. The residents carry a major responsibility for patient care, under faculty supervision. Patients are drawn from a large geographic area (all of Iowa, western Illinois, and northern Missouri), providing a wide spectrum of diseases. In addition to referrals from outside the University, a large number of referrals are seen from the University of Iowa Student Health Service and other specialty departments within University of Iowa Health Care.

One Barrel is equal to
42 Gallons or 159 Liters
What does a Barrel of Oil Make:
The Breakdown for oil processed in California is:
image from energy.ca.gov
In Europe, the Pacific, and North America the percentages are different: (There is less gasoline refined, and more diesel)
image from energy.gov
There are different views on when the oil reserves will be depleted: Most experts believe production will reach its maximum around 2020, and the supply will decrease, ultimately expiring in the second half of the 21st Century. This is a composite graph of several different graphs of projected oil production.
The Hubbert graph shows that non-OPEC production has already peaked: More on the Hubbert Peak Theory here
Industrialized nations consume much more of the worlds' energy resources:
Oil Facts
Oil is the single largest component of the U.S. trade deficit. source
The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve holds 675 million barrels of oil. This is enough oil to offset imports for 57 days. source
Though a barrel of oil contains 42 gallons, the refining process produces 44.7 gallons of distillate. The extra 2,7 gallons are called "process gain" and comes from a reduction in the density of the fluids during the refining process source
Experts estimate that there are 1,000 billion barrels of oil remaining on our planet. source
Current world wide oil consumption is 30 billion barrels per year. source
Experts predict that oil production will peak around 2025, and that we will run out of oil sometime in the end of the 21st century. source
The United States, Mexico, China, Norway, Canada, and the United Kingdom are all past their peak oil production source
Oil composes 42% of U.S. energy consumption; the other sources are coal (24%), natural gas (20%), nuclear (8%), hydro-power (2%), and wind and solar (2%). source
The United States has 5% of the global population, and uses 25% of the global energy resources. source
The United States produces 1/3 of the oil it consumes, and imports the remaining 2/3. source and source
The largest oil producing countries in the world are: (figures in million barrels per day) Saudi Arabia (OPEC): 10.37, Russia: 9.27, United States: 8.69, Iran (OPEC): 4.09, Mexico: 3.83, China: 3.62, Norway: 3.18, Canada: 3.14, and Venezuela (OPEC) 1: 2.86 source
The U.S. produces 5.4 Million barrels of oil per day. The major oil producing U.S. states are Texas (1.07 million barrels per day), Alaska ( 908,000 barrels per day), California (656,000 barrels per day), Louisiana (226,000 barrels per day), and New Mexico (176,000 barrels per day). source
The U.S. imports 10,088,000 barrels/day. 5,042,000 barrels/day come from OPEC countries. The top U.S. Crude Oil Supplier is Canada, with 1,616,000 barrels/day source

Abstract | This study mapped the changes in the timing of working hours in Belgium as reported in workers' daily work schedules, obtained from the Belgian Time-Use Surveys of 1966 and 1999. A typology of working schedules was drawn up by means of a sequence analysis. This approach showed that work performed beyond the standard times, that is, in the evening, at night, or on weekends, did not grow in importance in the intervening years. In 1999, standard working hours clearly accounted for a larger share of the work schedules of the active population. Although the analyses did certainly not corroborate the often alleged trend towards a 24-hour society in Belgium, it could be shown that certain categories of the working population are more susceptible to flexible working hours than others. |

The Welsh Rugby Union is delighted to announce that Specsavers Opticians are to sponsor its Referees. In a four-year, six-figure deal, the biggest ever secured by the Union for its match officials, Specsavers will become the Official Referees Partner.
Referees will be seen in their newly sponsored kit for the first time when they take charge of the season's opening matches to be played on Friday evening.
"This new sponsorship deal is a huge boost," said Director of Referees, Clive Norling. "We are naturally delighted that Specsavers has undertaken this responsibility for the next four seasons. Spectators will also be pleased that at long last referees have taken their advice and joined forces with the UK`s largest opticians! Like all referees, I was subjected to humorous comments from the terraces on match days such as 'open your eyes ref, you're missing a great game.'"
This agreement therefore is not just a major financial boost but it is also
hoped that it will assist in bringing back to the terraces some traditional humour. Its timing is also of importance in that it comes at a time when the recruitment of referees is almost at crisis point. The Director of Referees naturally feels that it is of great concern that attendance figures for referee coaching courses are down by nearly 50 per cent.
"Verbal abuse hurled at referees by coaches and spectators has contributed hugely to the problem in that it turns potential referees away from taking up the whistle," said Norling.
"The recent attack on David McHugh, during the Tri-Nations clash in Durban, is a classic example of the abuse referees have to withstand. It is hoped that the partnership with Specsavers will encourage a swift return of the morehumorous comments aimed at referees, replacing the foul personal abuse that, sadly is nowadays hurled at match officials. Not only current but also future referees will benefit in many ways from the substantial investment that the company has made with the Welsh Rugby Union."
Chairman of the Union Glanmor Griffiths is equally up beat about the new deal. " This is yet another example of a well known company underlining their faith in our game," he said. "Without referees, we have no game, and so,to have a company who want to directly fund that aspect is a huge bonus. We are delighted to bring them on board to be part of a thriving modern professional game."
'Get your blinking eyes tested ref' placards will be distributed by Specsavers to fans as part of a programme of activities aimed at diffusing the hostility faced by many of today's referees.

FIFA 08 (named FIFA Soccer 08 in North America) is the 2008 installment of EA Sports' series of football video games. Developed by EA Canada, it is published by Electronic Arts worldwide under the EA Sports label. It was released on all popular gaming formats in September 2007 in Europe, Australia, and Asia, and in October 2007 in North America. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game feature an improved game engine with superior graphics and different commentators and are dubbed "next-generation" by EA. On all other platforms—including the PC—the game utilizes an older engine. The Nintendo DS version features fewer teams, stadiums, game modes and kits due to the limitations of the machine's storage medium.
Commentary comes from Sky Sports' Martin Tyler and Andy Gray on next generation consoles; however, ITV Sports' Clive Tyldesley partners Gray on current generation consoles, and the PC version of the game. On the DS version of the game, Tyldesley is by himself. It also marks the first time the Nintendo GameCube has been excluded from the FIFA lineup since FIFA 2001 and the first the original Xbox and Game Boy Advance has been excluded from the FIFA lineup since FIFA Football 2002.
The tagline for the game is "Can You FIFA 08?."[2] The theme song is "Sketches (20 Something Life)" by La Rocca, from the album The Truth.
New features[edit]
New features that were not in FIFA 07 include "Be a Pro Mode", where the player plays as only one player (the player can be changed) throughout the entire match.[2] This Idea was copied from the popular Fantasista in J-League Winning Eleven 2007 Club Championship However, this mode is not available for goalkeepers.
New features for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 include cooperative online play and a change of controls, which features the right stick as a way of selecting which player is to be on defense. However, this control setting can be changed back to the FIFA 07 configuration as well as other preset control configurations. In addition, the online mode has a new addition with interactive leagues, where players choose a league, a team, and play against real-life opponents. While not an entirely new feature, FIFA 08 includes new trick moves that can be used by using the right analog stick, which were, for the most part, absent in FIFA 07. In general, the speed of game also has decreased in FIFA 08.
In the PS2 version of the game, two new features were added. The first being goalkeeper AI, which meant when in a one-on-one situation with a forward and goalkeeper, one could push the right analog stick and have complete control of the goalkeeper. The second of these was when taking a free kick you were able to push the R3 (right stick) to lock the position of the ball, while you used the stick to determine exactly where you wanted the free kick to go. These were two features that have not been used in any FIFA games since, although many users and fans have expressed their feelings to see both or one make a welcome return.
Manager Mode[edit]
The Manager Mode on 08 has few enhancements from its predecessor, however, some of the new features include the chance to schedule training on certain dates, via the manager's calendar, and the option to play up to four pre-season friendlies.
Leagues and teams[edit]
FIFA 08 includes 621 licensed teams, 43 national teams, with 30 leagues[3] and more than 15,000 licensed players.[4] Several teams from other leagues also appear in a "Rest of World" category. Of the 621 teams that comprise the game, 29 appear unlicensed, 13 of them being national teams.[citation needed]
National teams[edit]
FIFA 08 has 44 teams in its international division. The most notable exclusion is Japan (who made it into the round of 16 in the 2002 World Cup, but whose licensing rights currently belong to Konami). The following international teams are playable in the current generation consoles. But not all the teams are fully licensed e.g. Netherlands and Russia.
EA Sports officially announced FIFA 08s' soundtrack on September 11, 2007.[5] It featured many Latin music acts including Ivy Queen and Pacha Massive.[6]
a Titled "Mr. A." in game b Titled "Out of Control" in game c Santigold was known as Santogold when this game was made d Titled "You Will Find A Way" in game
Critical reception[edit]
The game was well-received, garnering an average of 81.5 on both next-generation consoles (Xbox 360 and PS3) because of its refreshing new game mechanics, which broke out from the series' criticised past record of not making much of an effort to innovate, instead adding what were often described by critics as "gimmicks".
In 2008, FIFA 08 was nominated for BAFTA Children's Kids Vote Award.[7]

Puppy biting..can't find a solution
Hello everyone. I'm new to the forums and looking for help. I have a 14 week old Shepinois (Shepherd/ Belgian Malinois). She does a pretty good job around the house not chewing on furniture, etc. However, she bites me hands constantly, whether it be when I'm playing with her or simply just petting her. I've tried to implement the "yelp" method and then walk away for a few seconds and then come back to her. The problem is, after I yelp and turn to walk away, it excites her and causes more of a problem. While I'm walking away or turn my attention away from her she chases after me and begins biting at my ankles and calves if I'm wearing jeans or sweatpants or will bite at my thighs or ankles if I'm on the ground playing with her. The biting is getting quite painful and is leaving my hands and calves all cut up... Are there any other forms of positive reinforcement that will deter the painful biting that I'm experiencing? Any help is much appreciated!

Lol my shepinois did the same crap. The yelp just made him bite harder and give chase because he was "winning". I trained mine to stop by teaching off. Basically take a few pieces of treats or kibble make a fist and let the pup go nuts trying to get at it. Say off once and wait for her to stop messing with your hand and as soon as she does drop the food. You will want a lot of repititions of that behavior before you move to purposely try to get the dog really wanting to screw with your hands in a highly energized state and then trying the off command then. Then you can use obedience of the off command to stop the behavior then reward with food or redirect to toy

Picture Books
One of children's literature's most beloved authors and illustrators was born in June. Bruce Degen created Jamberry and illustrated the hugely successful Magic School Bus series.
Growing up with Books and Traveling the World
With a scientist/writer for a mother and a research physician for a father, it's little wonder that Molly Bang grew up to be a writer and illustrator who would eventually make it her mission to create books that drawn children into the world of science. Her family kept a large library and would often give each other books illustrated by the famous Charles Rackham as gifts. Molly found these to be inspiring.
After she graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in French, Molly traveled to Japan to teach English at a university there for 18 months before returning to work on master's degrees in Oriental studies. Then it was back overseas to illustrate health manuals for UNICEF, as well as Johns Hopkins and Harvard, working, among other places, in Calcutta and Bangladesh.
The Blessing Cup, by Patricia Polacco, is a wonderful story for anytime, but especially during the holidays when family gathers close for this is a family story. Patricia Polacco's great-grandmother Anna and her family came to America from Russia after the Czar ordered all the Jews to leave the country. Just like that, they had to leave behind everything they couldn't carry. Momma and Papa packed the sewing machine, their menorah, the shofar, his tallis, and holy books. But also precious to them was the tea set they were given when they were married.
Something is stealing the grain in Mrs. Runnery's granary. It must be weevils, thinks she, as she sets out spiders to eat them. But in the morning, the frightened spiders are clinging to the ceiling, their webs torn. It wasn't weevils eating the grain. What could it be? The farmers need this grain from Runnery Granary to mill into flour so they can eat in the winter.
It's Saturday afternoon on a working farm in the Midwest. Kids ride along as baled hay is taken to the barn. At 12:15 PM, lightning strikes a power line. That gets the attention of the people in the truck and the animals in the fields... and under the fields. In Thunderstorm, by Arthur Geisert, there are almost no words, the only "words" are time signatures as the thunderstorm rolls across the farm, getting stronger and causing problems for everyone around.
Boot & Shoe, by Marla Frazee, is the story of two dogs who are the best of friends and a trouble-making squirrel. Boot and Shoe are littermates and are mostly inseparable, living in the same house, eating from the same bowl and even sleeping in the same bed. But Boot is a back porch kind of dog while Shoe prefers to spend his time on the front porch. One day a squirrel arrives, determined to cause trouble. What follows is an epic chase all around the house and yard that will have readers chuckling.
In Bark, George by Jules Feiffer, George is a small dog with a big problem. When his mother tells him to bark, he can't. Instead he says, "Meow," not quite the sound his mom was expecting. George keeps trying, but to his mother's growing frustration, he can only produce the sounds of other animals, like "Oink" or "Moo." Finally George's mother takes him to the vet who promises to get to the bottom of the problem. The cause of George's unusual sounds is even funnier than the idea of a dog who quacks.
Rosemary Wells is one of our best-loved writers and illustrators for very young people. Her "Max and Ruby" books capture the relationship between a bossy big sister and her inquisitive (and stubborn!) little brother. That they happen to look rather a lot like rabbits makes no difference to the stories. Rosemary Wells' wry humor turns these brief books into rather perfect treasures for the preschool set.

MP reacts to homophobic assualt by suggesting "ex-gay" therapy for victim
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Iris Robinson…MP,MLA, and Chair of the Assembly's Health Committee has described on radio today her abhorrence, disgust, revulsion etc etc for homosexuality! Is it any wonder when such a high profile politician, whose husband the future 1st Minister responsible for the Equality agenda….that there are attacks on members of the gay community, that young gay men and women find it difficult to accept themselves or their place in society….It is appauling that someone in public office can retain her retain that position, uttering thes type of statements.
If these self-proclaimed Christians really believed in God, they wouldn't blaspheme by suggesting that another human creature would be a subordinate in a relationship. "Helpmeet," indeed. It takes two.
She talks about a psychiatrist when it is clearly she who is mentally ill. Religious faith is a mental illness, and this woman is suffering from a serious form of this illness.
What a humanatarian
Ahhh, so you have bigots armed with psychiatrists in Ireland too huh?
they're everywhere Edward.
typical fundie ignorance: "helpmeet" isn't a word – I believe the quote is "as a help MEET for thee", i.e. a help appropriate…
Fundie fail!
Oh and by the way she's a bitch who has too much power, probably by her proximity to power. An true Xian women do not preach to men, so she's a hypocrit as well!!
She's chair of the Assembly's Health Committee? Seriously?
I suppose it's nice to know that we're not the only country with these loons in the government.
she claims to love everyone, and to love sinners while hating the sin.
i'd like to see her come to some sort of harm to be honest
There are three right wing parties in England and its remnant colony in northern Ireland and it's hard to tell which of them is more bigoted.
Is it the Tories who oppose reproductive rights for lesbians and measures to curb violence due to hate speech? And remember the Tories are rabid islamophobic racists. Or is it the BNP, the little piglets who put the neo in neo-fascist? They hate GLBT folks and immigrants. Or is the DUP whose gangs of fanatic bully boys ran amok in a decades long terror campaign egged on by the Paisleys. Their hatred of the GLBT communities is palpable and based on christist superstition.
I think the only solution is for PinkNews to poll its readers and the GLBT communities at large. Then we can decide which of these three reactionary parties should be our target at election time.
Mmm Mrs Robisinson you narowminded bigoted small minded homophobic individual, why not keep your opinion to yourself, i hope one of your children comes out as Gay anmaybe you could you could get them some electro – therapy or burn them at the stake ? go back to the dark ages you stupid woman
Who is this pyschiatrist who has been "treating" homosexuals anyways? Can't he be struck off?
I have the misfortune of living about 400yds from Iris Robinson and her husband the 1st minister, and about 50yds from her husbands mother. In years gone by they have both appeared at my front door at election time canvassing. I always thought Peter was a bit shifty, and found his wife to be thoroughly repulsive in character!
After her latest comments, I shall be writing to her and her husband and informing them that should Mrs Robinson ever knock on my door again, I will take great pleasure in escorting her off the property, using what I believe the police call "reasonable force", otherwise known as a smack in the gob!
I should know better by now, but yet I am still stunned that there are still people who believe sexuality is a choice and that you can be "reprogrammed". As Neville commented, I think its her who needs the psychiatrist! -
What a fool this woman must be, and what an insult to the education system that she believes in "homosexual cures" and the Adam & Eve claptrap.
Its a real pity this woman doesn't go get cured for her unforgivable stupidly.
The sooner Ireland rids itself of people like this waste of cells, the better off the whole island will be.
The American Psychiatric Association as far back as 1973 removed homosexuality from the list of mental disorders. Further, it also refutes ex-gay ministries who claim they can convert gays to straights. None of their ministries have provided any documentation or conducted extensive studies or experiments and not one word has been published in any of the legitimate medical or scientific literature. They believe simply in praying away the gay and using aversion therapy.
This witch Robinson is the one who needs therapy, permanently. But what can you expect from the DUP, its a party that engenders hatred, intolerance but also produces some of the sickest, pyschotic people that one can imagine. About time these people were taken to task. What she is doing is tantamount to creating an environment of contempt, hatred and incitement to commit violent crimes against gay men and women. What an evil bitch!
I think it's an absolute disgrace, anyone reading this should send an e-mail of complaint to the DUP party:
firstname.lastname@example.com -
Its unbelievable that such an uneducated woman can be allowed to portray her views on National Radio. Her views should be kept personal. She does not speak for the people of Northern Ireland. Lets hope the investigation into Parliamentary Expenses looks at her accounts in detail. She has the highest office expenses.
This kind of hate filled Christian nonsense it totally what you would expect from fanaticslike her. It is a real shame there will not eventually be a hell for her to go to.
Email the woman and her superiors and let her know that, in the immortal words of Paddy Chayefsky's "Network", "we're mad as hell as we're not going to take this anymore". List of email addresses for the Health, Social Services and Public Safety Statutory Committee: firstname.lastname@example.com , email@example.com , firstname.lastname@example.com , email@example.com , email@example.com , firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com ,
firstname.lastname@example.com , and firstname.lastname@example.com -
I am always amazed to find out that some people still hold these prehistoric views. But to find them in positions of power, legislating over the rest of us…what does that say about the loonies who elected her?
This Ms. Robinson reminds me of Ms. Sally Kern, a pol from Oklahoma, usa. Both of these fine women are reaching out and hoping to inflame the passions of murder in the hearts of their constituents. Aren't they special?
Sightunseen, yes it does remind me of Sally Kern. The trouble with these socalled zealot "christians" is that its ok for them to denigrate our lives, villify us, utter hateful things that can often give tacit consent to committing crimes against us or discriminate against us even though its now illegal, yet when we bash back, they cry blood, that we're offending their religious beliefs and mocking religion. Well…ho hum! These lunatics can't have it both ways, and its about time they realised that nobody is above the law. They bash us, we bash back with impunity! What's good for the goose is good for the gander! Free speech shouldn't be for some and not for others when it comes to personal attacks an an entire group of people. That's the problem with state religion, it has far too much to say and meddles in politics where it has no right to. The hierarchy pays next to no taxes and should keep their mouths shut. One way to resolve it is to disestablish state religion once and for all and let them fend for themselves, and go find real jobs.
The article suggests that the political party Sinn Fein did not react to Robinsons words – incorrect – their education minister Catriona Ruane asked that the outburst be examined under hate crime legislation. They have a long record of being vocal on gay rights issues.
Sinn Féin, the pro –nationalist all Ireland socialist leaning party takes a strong stand on GLBT rights.
Recent polling the Republic indicates that 58 percent support full same sex marriage rights when number of those supporting the second class citizenship option of has fallen to 26 percent.
In the Republic SF and Labour support same sex marriage against the policies of FF, FG and the Greens. It's part of the reason why SF continues to grow at the expense of the Greens and the majority parties. In the remnant colony in the north however, both SF and the SDLP decided, since it was going to become law anyway, to support civil partnerships, a form of second class citizenship for which they were rightly criticized by GLBT groups.The DUP has always violently opposed the GLBT and women's movement and worked to continue the apartheid-like conditions imposed on Irish working people. The DUP relied on the religious bigotry of Paisleys Presbyterian cult in their campaigns. The result was years of harsh communal violence. The right wing bigots who run the DUP and the Paisleyite cult should be prosecuted for hate crimes whenever they commit them.
I'll start off by saying that I have nothing against Christians as long as they keep it behind closed doors. In fact some of my best friends are Christian. However I find it hard to accept those who force their Christian views in my face.
On Radio 5 Live on Saturday night, I heard Iris label homosexuality an abomination and offered to provide homosexuals with psychiatric help with their "illness". She also raised a point that she knew of people who had killed themselves because of their sexuality! May I suggest that this woman really has blood on her hands. Those people didn't kill themselves because they were gay – they killed themselves because of the nightmare their lives are made having such hideously biggotted views violently shoved down their throats from so called Christians!
It is infact Iris herself who needs psychiatric help for believing in a ghost in the sky, and the unassailable truth of the horrible dogma in the bible (for balance, I may add that the Koran is no better) with no basis of evidence whatsoever.
If God, Allah or Yahweh really do exist, and as many theologens claim to be the same entity, either it wants it's followers to be at war, or is impotent to act. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with having faith, or believing in an afterlife, but once you start putting words in the mouth of a fictional character in order to justify a position of hatred, this is really not acceptable.
http://www.RuskiDot.com -
Tut Tut James, You are lowering the moral high ground we are currently enjoying by wishing this vile harridan harm.
Her conscience will eventually catch up with her and those that give her succor. The vile Mrs Robinson will be political history and that will be punishment enough,mark my words. If Reg Empey is on the ball he should be preparing his party for a comeback, because this is the beginning of the end for the Dopey Unionist Party and not a minute too soon.
I call nay plead with everyone who is appalled by this excuse for a human being to make a formal complaint to the Police Service of Northern Ireland in South Belfast or your nearest police station. Quote the Public Order Act. Northern Ireland.also
Incitement to Hatred act and any other law you can find that may be relevant.This is a battle we must win because if we fail the fundies will make our lives unbearable or at least will try. ONWARD TO FREEDOM!!!!!!!
I'm not gay but I think what she said was absolutely disgracefull

THE GOD DELUSION By RICHARD DAWKINS
I think this is just ridiculous. I'm 15 years old, and when you hear stuff like this going round in your own school. Imagine how it affects young gay people? They'll probably look at this and be too scared to be themselves and who they really are.
"I'll start off by saying that I have nothing against Christians as long as they keep it behind closed doors."
Oh dear, Rusky. Can you hear yourself? You want Christians to keep their faith "behind closed doors", but deny them – and indeed many who have no particular faith – the right to ask you to keep your sexual behaviour behind closed doors?
This is the hypocrisy typical of both radical atheism and homosexuality.
Congratulations Iris on your brave stand. You will be hated for it by those who falsely accuse you of hatred, and even as this article makes no mention of your condemnation of violence against homosexuals you will continue to be misrepresented.
A vocal element (by no means all) within the homosexual community will ALWAYS visciously attack the character of those who stand, not against homosexuals but against homosexual acts. It will ALWAYS twist reasoned disapproval of homosexual behaviour – no matter how lovingly given – into an accusation of hatred. This is a tactic designed to divert attention from the real issues, such as the rampant disease (hey, if you want to argue that one you can read about it on any of your own comprehensive GLBT web-sites) and high suicide rate which it also twists into an accusation against those who promote and defend natural sexual relations.
This vocal element is ALWAYS among the first to deny any responsibility to a Higher Power, hailing evolution as its creator. Yet I have NEVER heard a sincere attempt to explain homosexuality from an evolutionary viewpoint. THINK about it. I guess the reason is pretty obvious, even to those who ridicule the argument that homosexual acts are unnatural.
Oh, and by the way, it doesn't take "religious fanaticism" or fear to recognise the filthy nature of the acts that homosexuals commit. I have heard the same statement – in person – from an ex-homosexual.
Republicans must be loving this, once again the conservative Protestants of the Northern Ireland bible belt fail to shatter a single stereotype surrounding their backward thinking. It goes without saying the average Protestant is probably the most tolerant of all religios types but their nutcase enclaves seem to be even worse than Islam.
Fair play to republicans for painting the free derry monument be painted pink for solidarity with the gay community -
I notice that whever people call these fundie bigots on their hatred and ignorance, the first thing they do is play the victim card. Not only are they hypocrites, but they are dishonest into the bargain, sins that, as I recall, were condemned as such by the Jesus they claim to love.
I suggest that this woman and others like her remember his warning at the end of one of his parables: "Whatever ye have done to these, the least of your brothers, you have done it unto ME."

The scripturally rich words, sung in the first person as though by God, are filled with hope and assurance, making this useful for general worship, discipleship, confirmation, baptism and many other occasions. Mark Hayes' elegant setting stays true to the original hymn while incorporating colorful choral effects and a stunning piano accompaniment, with optional flute part included.

This article considers academic engagements with policy and politics and, inparticular, race and racism through two case studies. Contextualising such engagements within wide ranging debates about the relationship between academics, research, and policy and politics, two dimensions are utilised to analyse the examples presented. These are, firstly, the inside/outside (the location and extent of academic engagement) and, secondly, the link between knowledge and politics. These are applied to two examples or cases from the UK, both of which concern racism and the police. The first was a public inquiry in which the idea of institutional racism was powerfully resurrected; the second was an employment tribunal alleging racial discrimination � so the same idea may have been expected to be raised but was not. In part the abstract is concerned with this striking difference between the cases. In the two cases the author has been equivalent to an 'observer' and a 'participant', and the article sets out some dilemmas for academics when acting in public roles or arenas. The main argument is that in spite of the tenuousness of the dichotomies between theory/practice and observation/participation, as well as the ones between insider/outsider roles and instrumental and critical knowledge, they can all be significant in terms of how politics plays out and policy is fashioned.

How to keep your food fresh
Using Your Refrigerator

Food Storage Tips
Keeping Produce Fresh |
You probably have a refrigerator in your home. But, if you're like many people, you don't put a lot of thought into the what-goes-where process when you get your groceries home from the market.
There is a reason why your fridge has all of those drawers and shelves. Certain areas of your fridge have different temperature and humidity controls, and that's why different types of food are intended to be stored in specific places.
Who wants to send their produce into the dark recesses of the refrigerator to die? Nobody! So let's learn more, shall we?
Temperature, ethylene and humidity . . . oh my!
You know how sometimes you'll find a floppy zucchini at the bottom of your fridge? Or a bunch of carrots that have gone limp after a day or two? That's because you let them become dehydrated.
To keep your produce fresh longer, you need a certain amount of water vapor in the air or a good level of relative humidity, depending on the type of vegetable or fruit.
A good way to remember which produce requires more humidity is to think of which wilt the fastest. Foods that require the highest levels of relative humidity are your celery, grapes, zucchini, cucumber, beans, leafy greens, asparagus, avocado, pears and berries. Things like citrus, tomatoes, melon and sweet potato can handle medium level humidity, while dried garlic, squash, onions and pumpkins are more suited for lower levels of relative humidity and they don't really even need to be stored in the refrigerator.
You know that crisper drawer at the bottom of the fridge? That's where the most humidity is generally found. If there's a little sliding tab on the front of the drawers for adjusting the humidity levels, use it! That feature closes the vent and keeps dry air from getting to your produce so it can stay nice and hydrated down there. Keep the relative humidity set at 90 or 100%, the setting where most of that produce will be happiest.
Speaking of that crisper drawer, some types of produce don't play nicely with others and should be stored separately.
As vegetables and fruits are harvested, they will most often continue to ripen. When this happens, the food produces ethylene gas. This gas can negatively affect other fruits and veggies. It can cause green vegetables to yellow, potatoes to sprout, carrots to turn bitter, and asparagus to toughen. Common ethylene producers include apples, pears, plums, peaches and cantaloupes. Keep veggies in one drawer and fruits in the other and you should be fine.
Storing meat and eggs
Your fridge probably has a meat keeper drawer. That is the coldest part of your fridge, so use it for your meat (which is likely the most perishable item in there anyway). You can keep fish in there, too, as long as you don't forget about it. Fresh fish really should be eaten the day you bring it home, so you shouldn't have to worry about keeping it fresh for more than a couple of hours.
Fridges used to come with little egg holders on the door; some still do! But, you should never store your eggs there. Why not? You should never store anything highly perishable or items that are sensitive to temperature changes in the door of the fridge. That's because each time the door of the fridge is opened, a blast of warm air hits that area. Eggs need to stay deep inside the fridge where they'll enjoy a nice, even cold temperature. On that note, however, you should always bring eggs up to room temperature before you cook them. This will help prevent your yolks from breaking and it will help them cook more evenly in general.
Use the door of the fridge to store those condiments you may use on a regular or semi-regular basis. And there you have it!

France - Lille
From: 2015.09.05 To: 2015.09.07
The Braderie de Lille is Europe's largest flea market, and certainly one of the most well-known events in France and abroad. Between one and two million visitors stroll up and down the city streets, entertained by music and the numerous performances that take place from 2 pm on Saturday to 11 pm on Sunday. The market dates back to medieval times and stretches to around 100km of stalls selling everything imaginable. Enjoying a dish of "Moules - Frites" (mussels served with chips) has become a deeply-rooted tradition and is the subject of a contest between the town's restaurants to see who can build the highest mountain of empty mussel shells!
