Politics of Malta Political parties Elections |
The Nationalist Party (Maltese: Partit Nazzjonalista, PN) is a Christian-democratic[2][3][1] and conservative[1] political party in Malta. It is one of two major contemporary political parties in Malta, along with the governing Labour Party. It was founded by Fortunato Mizzi in 1880 as the Anti-Reform Party, opposing taxation decreed by the British colonial authorities and measures to Anglicise the educational and the judicial systems during the Language Question. The presence of Italian refugees from the Risorgimento gave the party a liberal constitutionalist character in the Party's early days and a pro-Italian stance which lasted until the Second World War.
Party structure[edit]
The Party structures are the General, Executive and Administrative Councils, the Parliamentary Group, the District Fora and Sectional Committees, the College of Local Councillors and a number of Party branches.[4]
Party officials include the Leader, Deputy Leader, Secretary-General, Presidents of the Party's three councils, Treasurer, International Secretary, Secretary of the Parliamentary Group, Deputy Secretary-General and President of the College of Local Councillors.
The General Council is made up of delegates and representatives from the other Party structure, the largest number being delegates elected by the Sectional Committees. The General Council elects and approves the Party Leader and Deputy Leader, approves the electoral programme, approves the Secretary-General's report on the state of the Party and amends the Party Statute. The Executive Council is made up of the Party's highest officials, representatives of the General Council, Parliamentary Groups, Sectional Committees and the Party branches and MEPs. The Executive Committee is the political and policy making body of the Party and, amongst other things, elects most of the Party officials, approves candidates, drafts the electoral programme and lays out the broad policy guidelines. The Administrative Council is made up of Party officials and deals with Party organisation.
The Party is organised geographically in Sectional Committees which are then organised in District Fora with special provisions applying for Party organisation in Gozo. The Parliamentary Group and the College of Local Councillors bring together the Party's elected representatives in parliament and local councils. The Party's branches include youth, women's, seniors', workers' and entrapreneurs' sections.
Although not part of the Party structure, the Party owns a number of companies including a media company, Media.Link Communications. This company runs NET Television and Radio 101 which broadcast free-to-air nationally, newspapers in Maltese (In-Nazzjon and Il-Mument), a media library and the online news portal Maltarightnow. '
Foundation and Early years (1880-1918)[edit]
The Nationalist Party's roots lie in the important language question of the late 19th century, when the British colonial government tried to give the English language the importance Italian had held in schools, administration, and law courts. Fortunato Mizzi, who was a lawyer at the time, strongly opposed these reforms, and in 1880, he set up the "Partito Anti-Riformista" (Anti-Reform Party). He and his followers also wanted a better constitution for the island, as the one imposed at the time had been granted by governor Richard Moor O'Ferrall in 1849, and gave the Maltese little power. This was because the governor was to appoint more members to the council of government than there were to be elected by the voters.
Against the Anti-Reform Party stood the Reform Party, founded by Sigismondo Savona in 1879. The Reform Party was in favour of the language reforms being imposed.
In 1886, Fortunato Mizzi, together with Gerald Strickland (another anti-reformist at the time), went to London to demand a new constitution for the islands, which would give them representative government. This constitution was granted in 1887 (known as the Knutsford Constitution), and added more elected members to the council of government that official (appointed) members.
During the next few years, the party was divided between abstentionists and anti-abstentionists. The abstentionists would immediately resign their post in the Council of Government immediately upon election as a protest against the token representation of the electorate on the Council; the anti-abstentionists favoured co-operation with the colonial authorities in order to work for a better constitution.
This practice of abstentionism led to the 1887 constitution being withdrawn, and in 1903, a new one was given instead, similar to that of 1887.
Interwar period (1918-1939)[edit]
Following the First World War a broader and more moderate coalition, the Maltese Political Union (UPM), was formed but a more radical and pro-Italian group, the Democratic Nationalist Party (PDN), split from the main party. The two groups contested the first legislative elections of 1921 but in separate constituencies so as not to damage each other's chances. However, after elections the UPM, which emerged as the largest Party in the Legislative Assembly, chose Labour as its coalition partner.
The parties again contested the 1924 elections separately although this time they did form a coalition, eventually merging in 1926 under the old name of Nationalist Party. It lost its first elections as a re-unified Party in 1927 to the "Compact", an electoral alliance between the Constitutional Party and Labour.
A constitutional crisis, resulting from a dispute between the Church and the Constitutional Party, meant that elections were suspended in 1930. They were held again in 1932 when the Nationalists emerged victorious (21 seats out of 32). However, the Nationalists did not last long in government. The colonial authorities, concerned at the rise of fascist Italy in the Mediterranean and Africa, suspended the government and the constitution on the pretext that government's measures to strengthen instruction of Italian in schools violated the Constitution.
The Second world war and Post war period (1939-1964)[edit]
The Nationalists received what could have been their coup de grâce during the War. Their association with Italy, the wartime enemy, antagonised them with the electorate and their leader, Enrico Mizzi (son of Fortunato) was first interned and then exiled to Uganda during the War along with other supporters of the Party. The Party did not even contest the 1945 elections for the Council of Government which for the first time raised the Labour Party from third-party status to that of a major party at the expense of the Constitutionals.
Notwithstanding, the Nationalist Party survived and in its first major electoral test, the legislative elections of 1947, it managed to stay ahead of various splinters that had formed from people who did not want to be associated with the main party. In the following 1950 elections, a very damaging split occurred in the ranks of the governing Labour Party resulting in two parties: the Malta Labour Party (MLP) and the Malta Workers' Party (MWP). This helped the Nationalists become the largest party in the Legislative Assembly and form a minority government which, though short-lived, re-established the Nationalist Party as a major political party. Enrico Mizzi was sworn in as Prime Minister, but died after three months in December.
Two subsequent elections were held in 1951 and 1953 where the Nationalists formed short-lived coalitions with the Malta Workers Party (which, over the years, eventually disintegrated). The Party lost the 1955 elections to Labour and the following years it led the campaign against the Labour Government's proposal for Integration with Britain. Integration failed largely because Britain lost interest after the Suez fiasco and the constitution was again revoked in 1958 following massive disturbances over redundancies at the Malta Drydocks.
Post Independence (1964-Today)[edit]
A new constitution was enacted in 1961. The Nationalists, led by George Borg Olivier won the 1962 elections, fought largely over the issue of independence and having as a backdrop a second politico-religious crisis this time between the Church and the Labour Party. Independence was achieved in 1964 and the Party was returned to office in elections in 1966. It lost the 1971 elections by a narrow margin and lost again in 1976.
In the elections of 1981 the party, now led by Eddie Fenech Adami achieved an absolute majority of votes for the first time since 1933 but it did not gain a parliamentary majority and so remained in the opposition. A crisis followed with the party MPs refusing to take their seats. Amendments to the constitution in 1987 meant that the party was voted into office that same year.
In 1990 the government formally applied to join the European Community. A wide-raging programme of liberalisation and public investments meant the return to office with a larger majority in 1992. However, the party was defeated in the 1996 elections. The stint in opposition would last only 22 months as the government soon lost its one-seat majority. The party won the 1998 elections convincingly, a feat that was repeated in 2003 following the conclusions of accession negotiations with the European Union in 2002. Malta joined the European Union in 2004. The Nationalist Party won narrowly the general election of 2008. It lost the 2013 election and is now in opposition.
Since Independence in 1964, the Nationalist Party has won the absolute majority of votes cast in five out of ten general elections, in 1981 (despite which they did not obtain a parliamentary majority), 1987, 1992, 1998 and 2003. In 1966[5] and 2008 it won with a relative majority.
After the most recent Nationalist government, led by Lawrence Gonzi, lost its majority in parliament in the final year of the legislature, the same government fell when the budget vote(also a vote of confidence) was defeated, thus meaning it was the first Nationalist government since Independence to fall from power.
It is a member of the European People's Party (EPP) and it returned its two incumbent MEPs, Roberta Metsola and David Casa, in the European Parliament election held in June 2009. Casa and Busuttil sit with the EPP Group.
During the first years of the 21st century, the Nationalist Party embarked on a project to rebuild its headquarters in Pietà. This project was realized on 21 June 2008, when it was inaugurated by Lawrence Gonzi.
After approximately 15 years in power the Nationalist Party took a landslide defeat in the Maltese general elections of 2013 losing several Nationalist-leaning districts and resulting in a nine seat deficit between it and the Labour Party, which is now in power.
On 17 April 2014, the Nationalist Party abstained from the civil unions bill, because while it was ready to legalize Civil Unions, it was not ready to do so for Same-Sex adoptions (which the government presented as one bill).[6]
The Nationalist Party again suffered a loss in the European Parliament election of 2014 against the governing Labour Party by over 34,000 votes,[7] but managed to elect its third MEP for the first time since Malta's entrance in the EU, making its current MEP's Roberta Metsola, David Casa and Therese Comodini Cachia.[8]
The party is led by Simon Busuttil, who was elected Leader on 4 May 2013.

It´s true. Today, while prosecutors and judicial authorities from all over Mexico convened for a special "security summit" in the city, more cadavers were dumped from vehicles in prominent locations around town -- almost right under their collective noses. There were seven new bodies (at least the numbers are going down). They had been bound, tortured and shot before being tossed out on the public right of way. Call it a welcome note from Los Zetas to the assembled prosecutors and judges.
So who's running Veracruz? Certainly not anyone remotely connected with the Mexican government. A primary problem in Veracruz is its utterly incompetent local prosecutor. Watch for a follow-up report on him soon.
Update Thursday, Sept. 22, 9:00 p.m. The latest report this evening from Veracruz is that 14 additional bodies were dumped today -- not seven as I reported earlier. That makes 49 since Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. It puts a staggering work load on forensic experts and mortuary workers. Many/most of these bodies will never be claimed. Some may not even be identified.

Plasma cell granuloma of the thyroid with Hashimoto's thyroiditis: report of a rare case. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 12610909 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
As only eight cases have been previously reported in the literature, plasma cell granuloma of the thyroid gland is a rare entity. This condition can be confused with a benign or malignant neoplastic thyroid process. In this article, we describe a new case of plasma cell granuloma of the thyroid gland that occurred in a 46-year-old man who also had Hashimoto's thyroiditis. This case represents only the second documented instance of a plasma cell granuloma of the thyroid occurring in the setting of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Moreover, it is only the second case of a plasma cell granuloma that has been reported in a male. |

U.S. Consumer Sentiment Gains to Four-Month High in Sept
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's final reading on consumer sentiment rose to 78.3 from 74.3 in August, the highest level since May.
Still, it was shy of economists' forecasts for 79, according to a Reuters poll, and gave up some of the advance seen in September's preliminary reading when the index climbed to 79.2.
Consumer expectations improved strongly, rising to 73.5 from 65.1, also the highest since May. More consumers expected the unemployment rate to fall than to rise, while twice as many survey respondents expected economic growth than those that anticipated a downturn.
Gains in home values and stock prices have also helped boost confidence and sentiment among households with incomes below $75,000 was at its highest level in five years.
But Americans' assessment of current economic conditions weakened to 85.7 from 88.7 amid concerns over their own finances. Twenty-nine percent said their financial situation had improved this month, down from 30 percent in August. In the year ahead, one-in-four households expected their finances to improve.
Consumers' inflation expectations for a year from now fell to 3.3 percent from 3.6 percent, while the five-to-10-year inflation outlook eased to 2.8 percent from 3 percent.

No. but i am told by my attorney that I do not qualify becaus of debtt amount and income. However, another attorney on this site said that if I have no equity in my house and no Non ira assets, I could still apply for Chapter 7. Is that true? My local bankruptcy attorney knows nothing about this.
After much pressure, I was able to postpone the hearing for summary judgement monday. With cancer surgery tuesday, that is a load of my mind.
If I eventually foreclose on my current house and I put the new house in my adult son's name and my wife, would that give me some protection from the bank coming after me for other judgements or for the foreclosure residual? My wife and I are currently on the present mortgage and it is current. W ould paying the first and not the second delay backruptcy proceedings i?Same bank?
So if my liabilities are greater than my assets(they are by1 mill). I can still claim 7?. Could I exempt some items such as car, etc if I was current on them.
Could I let them foreclose or short sale my current house 800,000 upside down if I included it in the backruptcy. Could I lease purchase another house before filing 7 with money from a relative for payments and r down payments. for a lease purchase if it was done before chapter seven? How about chapter 11 since I am told no way do i qualify for 13. My total charge off in seven would be 2.1 mill.
Will pay you by tip. thanks to FLanNYC lawyer I may have
some more questions. I will get back to you at about 5:30 edt after this answer.
Is there anyway I can lease the house I want untill after the case settles(how long doesthat take ) and get the the gift to pay to the owner. I would still need a 25K gift for security deposit but I could make the monthly payments.
Could I have the gift( 175k) given to my 18 yearold son. He would use as down payment. I would lease the house from him for the amount of the note. I could cosign. I could purchase the house from him afer the chapter 7 settles for say 5000 k and take over note that I have cosigned for.?
Because of the debt amount 1.2 corporate and 1.6 ( current house personal )all local attorneys say chapter 11. you can keep you your cars ( financed and keep the new house, 20% equity and reorganize the for payment of the rest. I am 61, other than to purchase house, i need no other loans.
My wife does not want to file bankruptcy untill she is in another house. does not want to rent or move again. It is her 75 K.
Is there anyway I can lease the house I want untill after the case settlesYes(how long doesthat take 90-120 days)
and get the the gift to pay to the owner. I would still need a 25K gift for security deposit but I could make the monthly payments.
the 25k security would be lost in the bankruptcy
I disagree with the 11. It does allow you to reorganize but in your current situation it does not appear that you would lose any substantial assets in a 7
You can stay in your current house during the 7
I need to get out of the current house now. It is one of the main reasons i am in BR.
12K/month note 4-5 k month taxes utilities. Like everything in medicine, payments have gone down. These payment and the corp debt is killing me.
The house that I would like to move to is much smaller, in a great location, 5 years old like new . all brick, pool .25 acre lot. 6200 sq ft Good inspection. Because real estate is so low now, owner wants to move up to lakefront house. 2 million lakefront house he is getting for 1.2. He cannot get mortgage untill be gets out of present house . He is asking 525K will take 175 down and finance the rest a 6 % for 5 years. Great deal. I would not want to lose if at all possible. It will not last on market 120 days.
payment with utlities takes 30% of my previous home and this one newer.
Would 11 bet me get into this house now and out of the old as a form of reorganization?
I also have a 16 year son at home., would this help with the BR exemptions.
What is your best idea of how I can get into this new house aug 1, stop paying on the old house. Keep my financed cars and my house contents(nothing really valuable)
and still be within the chapter 7 rules.
My medical corporation sub s)would also be part of the BR because I am the sole owner and I signed the equipment and buildout note personelly. I was unable to buy the building after buildout. The building and the buildout is owned by someone else who also paid for part the buildout with his own money. he is not signer on the corp note.
Most machine have died. one or still good. I have been told to transfr to unnamed new corportaion befor BR. How is this done.. REF?
You can stop paying the mortgage and stay in the house during the bankruptcy as the bankruptcy would stay the foreclosure during the pendency of the bankruptcy - an extra 90-120 days
Great deal if your son buys it
Remember in an 11 you would be paying a portion of your unsecured debt and would require court approval to obtain an extension of credit
No effect
The house appears to be your only difficulty. Possibly if your son buys the house and he makes the mortgage payments until after the 7
'All liability could be discharged in the 7
That could be considered a fraudulent transfer
Does the sub S have its own set of exemptions from chapter 7 , or would it be part of my general chapter 7 personel exemptions since it is a pass through to me or would there be there be a separate chapter 7 filing and set of exepmtions for the S corp.
How does chapter 7 handle clothes value, furniture? How do they estimate tthe value. We have nothing really valuable.
I we have a loan on anything, personal and corp, understand we can keep the item if we exclute it and pay the payment as long as it does not have a lot of equity. Is this true. Ie cars.
Is it ok to cosign for my son in the mortgage etc without violating any rules?
Probably more questions next week. You are helping a lot. Dr S
There are no exemptions for a corporation that file bankruptcy. Your stock ownership in the s corp would be part of your general personal exemptions if you chose to retain the corp.If you did not chose to retain the corp, you would surrender your shares in the personal 7.
They are valued at fair market value - think garage sale value.
The equity of the item could be claimed as part of your personal property exemption. However you would still list the debt even though you continue to make the payments. By listing the debt you discharge your personal liability leaving the debt collateralized by the asset only.
Yes. It is critical that there be no comingling of your assets with those of your son.
I will look forward to your questions. I am happy to help and wish you the best.

Your Audi A/C system provides perfect cooling inside the passenger cabin. The main job of the Audi A/C expansion device is to regulate the flow of refrigerant inside the A/C system. Its role is very important and helps in varying the flow of refrigerant according to how cold you want your vehicle. If you want it cooler, the Expansion device expands to release more refrigerant and when you want it less cool, it releases less amount of refrigerant.

Recently a group of researchers at National Taiwan University (NTU) reported their work in Nanotechnology. The article discussed the trade-off between optical properties and super-hydrophobic effects. For example, we know that a moth's eyes are a type of nanostructure that can produce an anti-reflective surface effect. Is it possible to design a single nanostructure that possesses both super-hydrophobic and anti-reflective effects?
The group at NTU fabricated an inverted pyramid structure on silicon and coated it with Teflon. The structure was sub-wavelength and periodic, and was equivalent to a gradient-index medium for light. To reduce reflection, the profile of the structure was designed to allow the effective index to change gradually. The results showed that the design criterions for better anti-reflection performance and for higher hydrophobicity are the same, that is, increasing the depth increases both properties. Therefore the combination of these two effects in one nanostructure is possible and has the potential for many promising applications. The experimental research results obtained were consistent with the theoretical predictions.
The possible applications for this new technology include window coatings as well as windshield coatings, where high transparency is required and a self-cleaning feature is desirable. Also, applications that require long-term optical performance without the detrimental effect of contaminants, such as outdoor optical devices including LED lamps, display panels and solar cells, will be important.

Chozo shaman

The Chozo shaman is depicted as a head attached to a gate resembling a fan in the Chozo Ice Temple of Metroid Prime. It blocks the path to the Chapel of the Elders, and is etched with instructions on how to open it. Samus must find another shaman statue made of Brinstone nearby, destroy it, and use the Bomb Slot behind it to lift the gate.
As traditional shamanism purports an interaction with the spirit world, the Chozo shaman would have been involved in essence transference process on Tallon IV and the origin of the Chozo Ghosts.
- Gate
- "A statue depicting the bust of a Chozo shaman adorns this door. A symbol is carved into its forehead. The translation reads, 'To pass my gaze, seek my twin within this room.'"
- Statue
- "This is a statue depicting the bust of a Chozo shaman. Several stress fractures can be seen running along the surface of this Brinstone object."

Oct. 2005 Google Update "Jagger"
I see huge changes in rankings for some competitive terms (including seo terms) and I see it on all servers (I mean all that I know). So far I find results almost laughable , well that's my opinion though. Can someone with more expertise confirm there is something going on ? And confirm that the result is definetely as bad as I see it |

Definitely looking at a huge update / algo change. I am seeing massive changes for everything, and it looks like sites who actually optimize are being hit hard. I already hate this update.

From what I see from my "test" site, internal links/anchor text appear discounted, inner pages that ranked solely on internals have mostly dropped 15-30 places.
Sort of makes sense, last big change was when they dropped file names from their allinanchor calculations.... |

No update going on, but a lot more panic activity. Why Google wants to add millions more pages from 2004 is anybody's guess.

It looks like a lot of supplemental pages ranking there, and some real junk sites/pages are doing well.
Looks a bit like if the results were bringing back websites from before february 05 ? Which is insane |

Is this a bad dream?
I am in utter awe at these changes going on in Google. I run a Miami real estate site for a client where we had #1 rankings for almost every building in South Florida and first page rankings for bigger search terms. Before Sunday we received visitors from over 250 different search terms a day from Google and after Sunday 50. I would understand if our site was replaced with sites with better content but the sites that jumped ahead of us were sites I have never seen in Google and sites with little to no content.
Ex. Sunny Isles real estate - We use to be number one for this term for over 6 months without spamming the search engines and only doing SEO by the guidelines. We are now second from the bottom and been replaced by sites that have little or no content <snip> even Yahoo Dir jumped in front of us Is it just me or does it seem that Google dumped millions of pages into their index just to say they are the biggest and have no processed the pages? I don't think I am being bias when I say that this update has filled Google up with less relevant sites and seems to reward sites that does not practice any SEO. What are your opinions on what is going on here? Thanks Jared Last edited by Chris_D : 10-18-2005 at 09:44 AM.

Jared, I got hit too so have been doing tons of research.
Over at WMW there is a huge long thread about it and FYI they are reporting that the whole real estate industry seemed to be hit hard by this fubar update or glitch or whatever it is. I still have a sneaking suspicion it's the canonical issue again. (canonical URL issue Google seeing www and non-www as dups.) I know just enough to be dangerous, most of what I have learned has been from trying to figure this thing out over the past few days. Just in case it is the canonical URL issue, here are some resources. Easiest plain english description I have found. http://www.socialpatterns.com/search...ith-redirects/ Interesting stuff about Matt Cutts own blog having canonical URL issues. http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/002603.html http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/bacon-polenta/ Read the whole thing so you don't tak this out of context, but here is part of what Matt (GoogleGuy says) Quote:
http://www.webmasterwoman.com/design...-homepage.html I'm not smart enough to know if this is the main or only problem we are having, I only know it's one possibility I wanted to rule out so I did it. Especially after I realized that my site without the www (which I never use) was in Google cache from way back in July with an OLD site design. Then I also realized while my main www.site has been a PR 5 forever, my NON www was a PR1. That suggests to me that someone has been linking to the NON www site and G was indexing them both seperately. Thats how I read it and thats also what Fathom suggested to me could be part of what's happening. So I just did the 301 yesterday. Took me the weekend to figure this out, non techy that I am. Hope this info helps others too. Linda Last edited by 5starAffiliatePrograms : 10-18-2005 at 01:10 PM. Reason: line break |

Hi Jared, not sure if I can/should do that. Plus I've seen it mentioned in lots of different pages that the real estate industry seems to have been widely affected by this. I'm sure if you Google the site WMW - for terms like real estate google and similar terms you can find it. Plus I don't think you need to be logged in to read over there, but I may be mistaken.

It's gift industry too...
I'm in the gift industry, not real estate and I'm having the same problem. My store was page 1 for several key words and now doesn't show up at all. I can search on Google for it and it's there, but it does not show with any keywords. I'm bummed. This is key season for Christmas when I do most of my business and now I'm not getting any.
I wish someone had an answer so we could all get back to where we were. I'd appreciate any information. |

There is nothing you can really do, rankings are going to be in a state of flux for a while. Best thing to do is to wait till it settles, most likely you will have all or most of your rankings back before that happens. If you don't get them back then you can panic.

Everybody knows that the Real Estate Industry (online) is responsible for some serious SPAM. It should be of no surprise that it did get hit or will get hit in the future.
----------------- JUST A THOUGHT: Has anybody considered the possibility that Google, as part of it's war on spam, targets specific industries in each update instead of having to go through the entire Internet every time? Could our industry be next? ----------------- Back to the topic at hand, which has been echoed numerous times. In fact, one would think that this horse has be beaten and bloodied enough, never to rise again. Here's the deal people. There are two paths to follow: 1) The right way 2) The wrong way If you travel down the wrong way you're going to get nailed eventually. If you go down the middle you MAY get nailed eventually. If you travel down the right way, you should never have to worry about being nailed, which let's you focus on growing your business. It cracks me up (as a long time SEO practioner) to see the volumes of posts generated over and over and over and over and over and over again about the same boo-hoo stories, expecially since in almost every single case the site owner knew that their day to be nailed was coming. Curiously, I wonder how many forum pages exist solely containing posts from people complaining after being nailed--eventually? Last edited by SpeedyPin : 10-18-2005 at 05:16 PM. |

My post had nothing to do with spam. I practice only "safe" SEO practices for my clients. What hurts is when you spend 1000's of hours optimizing a site and Google knocks you down and adds less relevant sites ahead of you.
http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...es+real+estate We ranked number one for this term "sunny isles real estate" and hundreds of others which we have been knocked off since Sunday for other sites like yahoo dir. and sites with hardly or no original content. |

Scuba / Jared:
Not a post against anything you've written. Just a general observation and unfortunately, you may be paying the consequence for other's actions in your industry. Chances are good that the ranking change is temporary. I work in a very, very SPAM rich environment (prepaid phone cards) and can tell you that I see the most blatant and obvious attempts to deceive the SEs on a daily basis. We've been affected more than a handful of times, but our rankings always rebound and sometimes for the better. I don't every worry because I travel down the "right path." As per my post, these spammers will have their day and I will cheer! Eric p.s. What is your domain name? Last edited by SpeedyPin : 10-18-2005 at 05:27 PM. |

Near Telavi in the village of Shuamta you will see the fragments of Dzveli-Shuamta and Akhali Shuamta monasteries (old Shuamta and new Shauamta). These two monasteries absolutely differ from each other in architecture and were built at different times.
Dzveli Shuamta monastery is more ancient. It is a complex of several ancient churches. The small church standing in the foreground is dated the 5th century, the other two – bigger and smaller domical churches – the 7th century. The bigger church is very similar to Mtskheta Dzhvari temple. The churches have the 12th-century paintings.
Akhali Shuamta Monastery was built later in the 16 th century. This monastery is still active. The big temple, the bell tower, the fencing parts of the monastery complex. According to the legend the monastery was constructed by Tina, the Kakhetin queen. When she was a little girl she had a dream where she was told to build an orthodox temple. In her dream she saw the site of the future monastery. The place appeared unfamiliar, and only when she married Kakhetin prince Levan, Tina recognized the place during her travel across Georgia. That was how the monastery was founded and later Tina took the veil there.

Guest Artists
Dance students have contact with working professionals both on and off campus. The department regularly engages guest artists to work with students to create pieces, conduct workshops and produce performances.
Guest Artists for 2014-15
Modern Dance Residency with TU Dance from Minneapolis, MN on August 31-September 6, 2014.
TU Dance will be guest artists at Beloit College from August 31-September 6, 2014 teaching classes and restaging a TU dance repertory work on Beloit students for them to perform in Chelonia 2015, the TDMS department's mainstage dance concert!
[TU by Ingrid Werthmann]THE COMPANY
TU Dance, led by Alvin Ailey veterans Toni Pierce-Sands and Uri Sands, has quickly become a leading voice in the Minnesota dance scene. Founded in 2004, TU Dance has garnered audience and critical acclaim for its diverse repertory, versatile artists, and for performances that are engaging, dynamic and generous. Modern dance, classical ballet, African based and urban vernacular movements are combined in inventive and unpredictable ways to provide opportunities for audiences, whoever they are, to experience the connective power of dance.
Toni Pierce-Sands
Prior to forming TU Dance, Minnesota native Toni Pierce-Sands performed with Minnesota Dance Theatre, Tanz Forum in Germany, Company Rick Odums in Paris, and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, where she was a featured soloist in such signature pieces as Revelations. Toni has also appeared in the Twin Cities as a guest performer with Ragamala Music and Dance Theatre, Shapiro & Smith Dance, VocalEssence, Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater, and Robin Stiehm's Dancing People Company. Her command of the Horton Technique has led her to teaching posts throughout the United States and Europe. Toni teaches dance at the University of Minnesota, where she is also the Director of University Dance Theater. In 2004, she was awarded the McKnight Artist Fellowship for Dance. TU Dance founders Toni Pierce-Sands and Uri Sands were named "2005 Artists of the Year" by the Minneapolis Star Tribune; and recently opened the TU Dance Center, a professional school and training program.
Uri Sands
Uri Sands' choreography has received national recognition for his fusion of classical elegance with edgy contemporary action, for pulsating intensity with poetic lyricism. A native of Miami, Uri performed as a principal dancer with North Carolina Dance Theatre and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater for five years, with Philadanco, Minnesota Dance Theatre, James Sewell Ballet, and as a guest artist with Complexions under the direction of Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson. His recent choreographic commissions include, among others, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, VocalEssence, Zenon Dance, Penumbra Theatre, North Carolina Dance Theatre and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. In addition to several film and television credits, Uri has taught dance extensively throughout the United States and Europe. He was awarded a McKnight Artist Fellowship in 2004 and 2011, a 2005 and 2010 Princess Grace Award in choreography and, most recently, a Joyce Foundation Award (2011). Uri was named "25 to Watch" by Dance Magazine, as well as "Best Choreographer of the Year" in 2006 and 2011 by City Pages. TU Dance founders Toni Pierce-Sands and Uri Sands were named "2005 Artists of the Year" by the Minneapolis Star Tribune; and recently opened the TU Dance Center, a professional school and training program.

And instead of sending someone a check that may never be put toward its intended purpose, online companies such as GradSave and Kiva have systems in place that let you make direct donations to a child's 529 college savings plan or a microloan.

Biking is one of the best ways to soak in the stunning scenery on the Gulf Coast. Whether you are looking for a beach-side bike ride or an adventure through the backcountry, the region spanning Fort Morgan to Perdido Key has plenty to offer cyclists.
Taking a walk along the beach in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Fort Morgan or Perdido Key is one of the best ways to take in the beauty of these Gulf Coast vacation destinations. Another great way to experience the beauty? By bike!
Fortunately, there are ample opportunities to bike along the beaches, dunes and other stunning sights when you're staying in Gulf Shores rentals on the beach. Here are some bike rides the whole family is sure to enjoy.
Looking for the best in beachy biking? A ride on the Rosemary Dunes Trail starts off at the white sandy shoreline on Beach Road in Gulf Shores, about 1 mile east of State Park Road 2. From there, you'll ride east, away from the coast but into a tranquil forest of tall pine trees as you enter Gulf State Park. Look for alligators in the marshy stops on this paved trail, and check out the seasonal butterfly garden at Campground Road, where the trail ends.
This is an especially family-friendly trail, since it's only a mile long and offers parking at the Orange Beach Sportsplex at the trail's northernmost end. Pedal along the paved route and enjoy the scenery as it winds through dense forests and over scenic wooden bridges. If you want to keep riding, this path makes it easy to connect to the Rattlesnake Ridge Trail and Catman Road Trail at its southern end.
Taking a drive along Perdido Beach Boulevard, or Highway 182, allows visitors to see the seemingly endless white sand beaches that line the entire key. Fortunately, there are bike lanes on this road as well. In fact, every major roadway between Fort Morgan, Alabama, and Perdido Key, Florida, has some type of shoulder or bike lane in both directions, so more experienced cyclists might want to head out on these roads for a scenic ride. Along Perdido Beach Boulevard, you might also see trail heads to backcountry trails in Gulf State Park, giving you the opportunity to get off the beaten path if it suits you.

Finally, dearly beloved Archbishop Fred Hiltz, you will keep alive your passion for God, his Church and his world if, like the Apostle Paul, you continue to have Christ at the Centre of everything.
The Apostle Peter always had JESUS CHRIST AT THE CENTRE OF HIS LIVING. "For me to live is Christ." (Philippians 1:21)
He always had JESUS CHRIST AT THE CENTRE OF HIS THINKING. "Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 2:5)
He always had JESUS CHRIST AT THE CENTRE OF HIS PLANNING. His aiming, his motivation. "I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:14)
I beg of you to look at your past achievements and failures with the eyes of an accountant. And so whatever you have lost or gained, let Christ be your prize. Let Christ always be your balance sheet.
I beg of you to look at the present with the eyes of a sportsperson. Train for Christ. Throw yourself into the race for Christ. Aim for Christ. Let your faith be ready for adventure -- ready to go into the unknown and forsaking the right to ask where you are going. May our Lord give you a reckless willingness to adventure. A venturesome faith -- like that of Abraham.
Read it all.

A creative sermon. But why do I feel it will have no practical impact on Canada's part in the international Anglican explosion. This was Sentamu's one chance to make a big point for the sake of the truth in our situation. If I missed it, help me out. And forgive me for picking, but surely the preacher is just cross-pollinating with attaching Peter to the quotes from Philippians. Or maybe it was one of those Oops from a copy editor we learned about in textual criticism. June 30, 9:44 am | [comment link] |

"JESUS CHRIST AT THE CENTRE OF HIS LIVING" Yes, but the real question has always been, "Who is this 'Jesus Christ'? Methinks they have created a "Jesus" in their own image rather than acknowleging Him as God and Lord of them. DonGander June 30, 10:54 am | [comment link] |

Difficult to feel that this was Sentamu 'ticking off' the liberal Canadian church. Rather, it seemed to be: go, do it. Very interesting. Of course, Sentamu, like many big C of E people, speaks with at least two different tongues. Nevertheless, it's absolutely clear that his heart isn't in it as Windsor enforcer.

Kai Milla's clothing line had fans in Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Harper's Bazaar, but that wasn't enough to keep Stevie Wonder's wife in business in this tough economy, RadarOnline.com has learned.
PHOTOS: Paul McCartney Sings To Michelle Obama
After failing to pay vendors for several months, the designer has quietly shut her doors, the New York Post is reporting.
First Lady Michelle Obama really put Milla on the map when she wore one of her dresses in February, 2009 when Wonder received a Gershwin Prize and performed at the White House.

"The company has left many creditors coming after her to be paid for time, service and materials," the Post quotes a source as saying.
"Modeling agencies, production crews, design assistants, pattern makers, office and store landlords have all been trying to contact her offices in Los Angeles and New York."
