'Open' Church leaders take study tour
Program began in northeastern city where concern grows about another illicit ordination
Ucanews.com reporter, Hong Kong
August 22, 2011
A study session held by the Beijing government for leaders of the "open" Church – organized as a sight-seeing tour for the first time – is set to conclude tomorrow. The program, which was hosted jointly by the United Front Work Department (UFWD) of the Communist party and the State Administration for Religious Affairs (SARA), began in the northeastern city of Harbin last week. Two dozen people participated, most of them officials of the government-sanctioned Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association and the Bishops' Conference of the Catholic Church of China, and included 16 bishops, a few priests, laypeople and one nun. Sources within the Church in China said most of the invitees to the tour have participated in recent illicit ordinations either in Leshan or Shantou dioceses. The two illicitly ordained bishops, Fathers Paul Lei Shiyin and Joseph Huang Bingzhang, both of whom are vice chairmen of the Patriotic Association and not recognized by the Holy See, were said to have also attended the study tour. The sources expressed concern that authorities might hold another illicit ordination when they learned the gathering was held in Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province. The bishop candidate for Harbin diocese has not received papal mandate. A participant in the study tour, who asked not to be named, refuted such speculation, saying the tour was "a get-together to strengthen the sense of 'love the country, love the church' among the bishops." Accompanied by government officials, participants have spent the last few days visiting several tourist spots and historical monuments in the province, including near Heihe city near the Russian border, according to another attendee who also asked not to be named. "It is a relaxed journey in the cool weather of Heilongjiang that freed us from the pressures of work. Participants have proposed similar trips in the future." Since the group included bishops who are out of communion with the pope, a few participants did not concelebrate Masses during the tour to avoid scandal, the attendee said. The group arrived in Beijing this morning and attended an informal discussion in the afternoon. Attendees are expected to meet UFWD head Du Qinglin, his deputy Zhu Weigun and SARA director Wang Zuo'an tomorrow to conclude the week-long event. The UFWD and SARA organize study sessions each year for young and middle-aged bishops, and for the most prominent members of the open Church each summer.

This bag is very sturdy. It's very well thought out and does not leak! My 6 year old loves it and I think we will get several years of use. If you are going to have this on hard wood floors you may want to purchase a mat to go underneath to prevent sliding.

Comments about Century® Kid Kick Wavemaster:
The top portion of stand is covered with fabric and does not look like the soft top shown in advertisement. Cleaning will be a problem in case it ever gets dirty and it is less sturdy most likely to rip with future use. I will be bringing mine back to Sports Athority.

DENVER — Relatives of those killed in the Aurora movie shooting called Wednesday for a boycott of the Century 16 theater and rejected an offer to attend a reopening ceremony in two weeks.
Calling the invitation "a disgusting offer," family members representing nine of the 12 victims blasted Cinemark, the theater's owner, for failing to show compassion in the aftermath of the July 20 massacre.
Cinemark invited families of the victims to attend a "special evening of remembrance" at 5 p.m. Jan. 17, at the theater, followed by a movie. The invitation, forwarded to relatives by the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance, said counselors would be available on site.
The angry response faulted the company for sending the invitation two days after Christmas, making "what is a very difficult holiday season that much more difficult. Timing is everything, and yours is awful."
The relatives also accused the company of refusing requests to meet with them without attorneys present after the shooting. Signed by 15 family members, the letter says Cinemark officials "have never once reached out to families to offer condolences."
"After reading our response to your ridiculously offensive invitation, you now know why we will not be attending your reopening celebration and will be using every social media tool at our disposal to ask the other victims to ask their friends and family to honor us by boycotting the killing field of our children," says the letter, signed by "The Families of the Aurora Cinemark Theater Massacre."
Cinemark, based in Plano, Texas, had no immediate comment on the letter.
Tension between Cinemark and the victims' families has been palpable for months. Relatives have filed a slew of lawsuits against Cinemark alleging that the theater failed to provide proper security, while attorneys for the company have filed motions to dismiss the lawsuits, arguing that the attack could not have been foreseen.
The accused gunman, James Eagan Holmes, entered through an emergency exit at the front of the theater during a midnight showing of a newly released Batman movie, "The Dark Knight Rises." The shooting left 12 dead and 70 injured.
Mr. Holmes, charged with multiple counts of first-degree and attempted murder, was back in court Wednesday for a hearing on procedural issues. He has not yet entered a plea, but prosecutors are slated to lay out their case against him in a weeklong hearing that begins Monday in Arapahoe County District Court.
Deciding whether to reopen or raze the site of a mass shooting is a tricky issue and one Coloradans have dealt with before. Columbine High School, the location of the April 1999 massacre, was reopened the following fall after extensive renovations that included the removal of the library, the site of the worst carnage.
An August survey sponsored by the city of Aurora found that a majority of residents want to see the theater reopen. Cinemark has spent the past several months renovating the theater, including replacing Theater 9, where the shooting occurred, with a floor-to-ceiling XD screen.
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan are expected to attend the reopening ceremony, according to a Cinemark statement released Dec. 5.
In the letter, family members accuse Cinemark of ignoring their "mental anguish" in its "quest for profits."
"We, the families, recognize your thinly veiled publicity ploy for what it is: A great opportunity for you to distance yourselves and divert public scrutiny from your culpability in this massacre," the letter says.

Northwest coast T: (081) 3535 66774
We were very impressed with this lovely Gili Meno resort.
If you're a travelling family and this fits your budget, look no further. The standout rooms here are two-storey, with a master bedroom upstairs and twin beds in the room downstairs. There are ample layaround spots both upstairs and down and the standard, for the money, is excellent. The on-site restaurant is absolutely outstanding — service may be slow, but the food is easily the best on the island (and also just about the most expensive) — try the seafood curry, which was divine. Highly recommended, reservations essential.

Hornswoggle still around
Since he has not been featured much on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown lately, the internet wrestling community has naturally wondered if Hornswoggle was still with the company. He is still employed and does a lot of behind the scenes stuff for WWE, including segments on the Network. The guy also does a lot of meet and greets with children.
August 13, 2015
Hornswoggle backstage
While he has not been used very frequently on television, Hornswoggle is usually backstage whenever WWE films Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Many were under the impression that he had been sent home because he no longer was being utilized with the Miz and Damien Sandow, a gimmick that was viewed as being hilarious by many backstage. The Wisconsin native still works plenty of live events for the company.

The Rise of a New World Order: China, Russia, BRICS

I know theres a couple of threads regarding this topic right now.
I feel this long ass article really deserves its own thread.
Great information being relayed, and quite an amazing read.
From the article:
"Accordingly, yes, China and Russia do not want to see armed conflicts anywhere, because conflicts 'feed' the US Empire. They keep it going, keep it justified, and give it opportunities. Take Syria for example. Calm in Syria would not benefit the US, NATO, the Zionists, or US-led globalism. Calm allows the Syrian state to strengthen itself on the basis of its own resources – with or without reforms, depending on the domestic political situation. Syria could speak to the globalist hegemonists from the position of at least being in control of Syrian space – and, indeed, with the friendship of Russia and China, too. That is bad news for the West. But the West can benefit from Islamist insurgency, guerrilla warfare, and political unrest in the country. All those allow the US to meddle in the country – to 'protect the victims' to 'support democracy' and what not else."

|ESPN.com: Freeskiing

|The new F10 Tour weighs less than four pounds per pair.
Just a few years ago, if you wanted an alpine touring setup for backcountry skiing, you were forced to choose between the lesser of two evils: a wimpy, light AT binding that could get you uphill efficiently but was sketchy and releasable on the way down, or a heavy and clunky contraption that transformed your alpine bindings into touring ones just for the climb. There was nothing that performed equally well on the uphill and the downhill. All that changed in 2008 when Marker released the 16-din Duke binding, which created an entirely new market of sidecountry skiers (even though it was still on the heavy side for touring). For 2011, Marker is about to revolutionize the market again with the brand new F10 Tour.
The F10 Tour is a lightweight AT binding built from the same power-width platform as the Duke -- both are designed to be mounted on fat skis. But here's where it differs from the Duke: It has a smaller, more compact toe and heal design, it has aluminum rivets and some of the stainless steel undercarriage parts from the Duke have been replaced with carbon fiber, where the toe of the boot sits is beveled to fit the rockered sole of AT boots (whereas the Duke fits best with alpine boots) and the climbing aid is easier to adjust with a flick of a ski pole than the Duke's rather pesky one. "Everywhere we could, we've redesigned and reengineered the binding using lighter materials," says Derek McClellan, product manager for Marker Volkl USA. "This binding is for people who are going on longer, more extended tours but who still want downhill ski performance." The only bummer? You still have to step out of your bindings to switch it from tour mode to ski mode.
Marker's goal with the F10 Tour was to compete with step-in touring bindings like the popular Fritschi Freeride, which is distributed in the U.S. by Black Diamond. And compared to the Fritschi, the F10 weighs almost a pound lighter, costs $20 less and it provides better energy transfer from boot to ski. If 10 dins isn't enough, there's also a 12-din F12 Tour, which weighs 1,785 grams per pair (still lighter than the Fritschi).
Get more details at www.markerusa.com. The bindings will be available online and in a ski shop near you this fall.

Skip to comments.RELIGIOUS HATRED UP 600% (UK)
Posted on 08/02/2005 2:58:28 PM PDT by traumer
Faith hate crimes have soared by 600% in London since the July 7 bombings.
Alarming figures from Scotland Yard showed that there were 269 such attacks compared to just 40 in the same three-and-a-half-week period in 2004.
In the three days following the London bombings, there were 68 religious hate crimes in the capital; there where none in the same period 12 months earlier.
The attacks included verbal and physical assaults and damage to property including mosques.
Scotland Yard Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur said: "There is no doubt that incidents impacting on the Muslim community have increased."
He said most of the incidents were low-level abuse or minor assaults but they had a great "emotional impact" on communities.
And he warned: "It can lead to these communities completely retreating and not engaging at a time when we want their engagement and support."
The figures came as Home Office Minister Hazel Blears began a tour of Muslim communities to discussing ways of improving relations with them.
Speaking in Oldham, Lancashire, she said that contrary to suggestions British Transport Police chief constable Ian Johnston, racial profiling was not the way to find suspects.
The reaction to that would be very difficult to predict. It would likely lead to massive round up and deportation of non-citizens from Muslim countries. What are we waiting for? We should be started on this already.
No argument from me on that one. We should start with the student visas and work down.
"The reaction to that would be very difficult to predict."
Here I'm going to have to disagree. Any muzzie that wants to keep on sucking oxygen after such an attack better head for the tall grass. I don't think the police would be able to protect them.
This is not a criminal prosecution but an indication of the way things are going. And this was before the new "hate law" came into force.
"Co-op bank bars Christian group"
The Co-operative Bank has asked an evangelical Christian group to close its account because of its anti-homosexual views.
The bank said the opinions of Christian Voice were incompatible with its support for diversity.
Christian Voice said the bank, based in Manchester, was discriminating against it on religious grounds.
It is now waiting for other religious groups with similar opinions to be asked to close accounts, it added.
Christian Voice has held an account with the Co-operative Bank for about three years.
Most likey they were something like "Get AWAY from me, you Muslim creep!"
And I would strongly suspect that tens of thousands of "British" Muslims are under orders to look for any possible excuse to report a 'hate crime' to British authorities. Or even to engage in provocative behavior so as to elicit a response that they can whine 'hate crime' about. And the media just acts as their useful idiot by reporting the stats without comment, without analysis, without any skepticism (which may in itself constitute a horrid 'hate crime').
"Yep, last month 59 people died as a result of religious hate crimes. Perpetrated by Muslims."
Yes, but there may have really been only two Muslim- perpetrated hate crimes---or eight, if we count each bomb and attempted bombing separately. But there were all of 269 religious hate crimes, mostly against Muslims. These included things like people saying something hateful. So by this mathematics, the key problem is crimes against Moslems.that I suppose, is what the liberals want to focus on.
Not sure of the current figure but at lease 56 dead not 52. Can't see how polybius is guilty of a "rant"
They are all victims of muslim "hate crimes" even is a few of the victims were muslims. They are not following islam correctly according to the bombers (and there false prophet Mohammed) hence they hate them and kill them.
The non muslim kill rate is still zero, they were killed by muslims. Non muslims have not killed any muslims in London.
All 56 victims of hate crime by muslims.
"Actually, amongst the bombing victims at least 3 Muslims."
This builds up your sympathy for Muslims?
"He said most of the incidents were low-level abuse or minor assaults but they had a great "emotional impact" on communities."
Well, you know,these people are sensitive. Some of them have even been threatening to leave Britain. I'll bet that has the British people quaking in their boots.
Muslims: 52 kills
Non-Muslims: Zero kills."
Actually, amongst the bombing victims at least 3 Muslims. (But don't let your ignorance get in the way of having a good rant)
The only ignorance here is that you do not seem to understand that a "kill" is a military term that signifies the deliberate act of killing and not the passive act of dying.
For example, US Marine Gunnery Sergeant Carlos N. Hathcock became a military legend with 93 confirmed kills in Vietnam.
Were those three bomb victim Muslims killed by non-Muslims?
Then the Kill Tally still stands at:
Muslims: 52 kills
Non-Muslims: Zero kills.
Whether or not the Muslims scored kills on their own fellow Muslims does not change the Kill Tally.
tour of Muslim communities to discussing ways of improving relations with them
Gee, if they were assimilated into the culture of the country there wouldn't be any problem regarding 'relations with them' [Muslime 'communities' that is]
Muslims blow up innocent commuters--Not a hate crime.
Muslims complain to police about being 'looked at funny' while wearing coats and carring packages--hate crime.
"Muslims: 52 kills
Non-Muslims: Zero kills."
Read it again. It means that Muslims KILLED 52 people (regardless of the victims' religion). Of the teerrrrribbble 'hate crimes' cited in this article, ZERO resulted in death (or even major injury).
YOU are the ignorant one. Can't even read.
Wake the f**k up. Let's say a...oh purple spotted male breaks into your friends house and kills the family. Wouldn't you like to know that the perp was purple?
A'holes and their PC will definetly get alot of people killed...that includes those with purple spots.
Thank you! Let them eat sand.
I don't reacall the person, but someone was recently prosecuted for hate speach after pointing out some factual home truths about homosexuality. I believe the "accused" questioned that it was a genetic trait and stated that it was lifestyle choice. He certainly was not inciting violence against gays, he was merely stating his opinion that it was a poor, insanitary, and health threatening choice.

" In the last several years I have been painting flowers and rocks and their interaction with water. I study them above and below the surface, and observe how their visual characteristics change and relate to each other. I relish the contrast between a solid rock above the surface and its restless reflection below; the realistic depiction of a floating daisy versus its abstract, refracted counterpart. I marvel at how a flower can take on a new identity when floating below the surface and I strive to capture its ever-changing shape. Water transforms everything it touches: hard lines become soft, warm colors cool, solid shapes break down into parts. Realism evolves into abstraction and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. The interplay between these realms is an endless source of inspiration for me. I choose to create with artist crayons and oil pastels for their directness and simplicity. My process consists of a combination of drawing and painting. I alternate between working on cool and warm paper using the heated drawing board I invented. The heat helps soften or melt the waxy pigments so they can be easily manipulated and blended in a painterly fashion. When finished, the artwork is mounted on a cradled board, varnished, framed and shown without glass. " - Ester Roi

HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM vApoR DISCHARGE LAMPS BACKGROUND OFTl-IE INVENTION This invention relates to high pressure sodium vapor discharge lamps generally and more particularly to' such lamps which use a ceramic envelope consisting of a sintered highly transparent polycyrstalline yttrium oxide.
conventionally, a transparent polycrystalline alumina pipe was used as an envelope in a high pressure metal vapor discharge lamp. This material has a total transmission of approximately 90 percent; and, when, used as an envelope in a high pressure sodium vapor discharge lamp, it has a radiation efficiency of approximately 100 lm/W, which is lower than that of a low pressure sodium vapor discharge lamp. In addition, among the materials enclosed within the envelope, sodium is decreased gradually in its quantity, if the lamp is illuminated for a long time. Since the alumina of the envelope begins to evaporate and is changed into an oxide of lower valence as the temperature on the wall of the envelope exceeds l400C, the outer envelope is observed to blacken on its inner wall. The transparent polycrystalline body produced by sintering a mixture of yttria (Y O and thoria (ThO produced and marketed by General Electric Company, U.S.A., under the trade name of Yttrolox shows excellent transmissivity, but it is blackened when the body is heated in a sodium vapor atmosphere.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of this invention is to obviate these drawbacks in high pressure sodium vapor discharge lamps and to provide a high pressure sodium vapor discharge lamp having a higher radiation efficiency and a lesser reduction in the quantity of sodium enclosed within the envelope, in addition to a reduction in blackening of the inner wall of the outer envelope and a longer service life. Y
According to the present invention, the above object is attained by the use of a transparent polycrystalline yttria ceramic tube as an envelope in a high pressure sodium vapor discharge lamp. By this means, the radiation efficiency can be increased to 116 to 124 Im/W, with suppression of' the decrease in sodium quantity within the envelope and the blackening of the inner wall of the outer envelope at higher than 1400C, while the service life of the discharge lamp can be prolonged.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 is a plan view of the high pressure sodium vapor discharge lamp according to this invention using a transparent polycrystalline yttria ceramic tube as an envelope; and
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the relation between the grain size and the in-line transmission of the yttria sintered body; and
FIGS. 3 and 4 are detailed cross-sectional views of alternative embodiments of the high pressure sodium vapor discharge lamp in accordance with the present invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described below.
FIG. 1 shows, in plan view, a high pressure sodium v vapor discharge lamp according to the present invention, including a tubular elongated envelope 1 made of transparent yttria and sealed at both ends by niobium caps 4 and 5 with the use of a glass material consisting of, for example, 55 percent alumina, 39 percent calcia and 6 percent magnesia, said niobium caps carrying internal electrodes 2 and 3. The envelope 1 is filled with an amalgam of 30 percent sodium sodium vapor and Xenon at a pressure of 20 mm Hg. The envelope 1 is suspended in the conventional manner in an outer envelope 10 made of hard glass in which is provided electrical leads 6 and 7, connected in the known manner to a socket 8, as well as the standard getter rings 9. High vacuum pressure is maintained inside the outer envelope 10.
Basically, the transparent yttria envelope 1 according to this invention is produced by the process comprising the steps of 1. Providing finely powdered yttrium oxide of high purity;
2. Pressure molding said powders into a tubular body and, if desired, subjecting the latter to a vacuum degasing operation; and
3. Heating the molded body for more than 10 minutes at a temperature of l950 to 2400C under an atmosphere of hydrogen or oxygen, or in a vacuum.
The purity of the powdered material can be varied, depending upon the usage of the powdered material or the property of the impurities mixed into the materialv For instance, in cases where the sintered body is used as an envelope, a window, or a lens in an optical system required to be heat resistant and have a high transparency, it is necessary to maintain the purity approximately higher than 99.99 percent and,-"above all, to avoid the mixture of terbium, molybdenum and other coloring impurities into the sinteredbody as much as possible.
The powdered material withgrain sizes less than 30p. may safely be employed, but a powdered material having grain sizes as small as possible, especially grain sizes in the range of 0.2 to 1.011.,IS preferred from the practical point of view.
A hydraulic press, for instance, can be used for pressure molding the powdered material. While the molding pressure is not so critical, Sinterability tends to abruptly decrease with molding pressures less than 0.2 ton/cm Therefore, a molding pressure higher than 0.2 ton/cm is preferred. Sinterability can be increased by using a higher molding pressure, however, when the pressure is increased excessively, the density of the sintered body may be ocasionally lowered, due to the expansion of the pores of the sintered body occurring at the time of sintering. Therefore, when the molding operation is carried out under a higher molding pressure, it is necessary to use a lower press speed or an atmosphere of reduced pressure, orjt is necessary to subject the molded body to degassing by heating the latter in an atmosphere of reduced pressure so that the gas included in the molded body can be reduced as much as possible. Expansion of the sintered body can also be prevented to a limited extent by using a reduced heating speed in the sintering process.
With a molding pressure higher than 8 to 9 tons/cm it is necessary to carry out a degasing operation as de-.
scribed above, except where an extremely low press speed is employed. With a molding pressure higher than 25 to 30 tonslcm increased molding pressures can hardly be expected to bring about an increase in sinterability and, in addition, the above-mentioned degasing operation can be effected only with considerable 4 A similar high pressure sodium vapor discharge lamp, such as described in conjunction with FIG. 1, was produced with the use of a transparent alumina tube as the 1 envelope 1, and a comparative test was carried out difficulty. Therefore, it is usually preferre to use a 5 under lighted conditions with this discharge lamp and molding pressure less than 30 ton/cm? For instance, the product of the present invention. when the pressure of 7 to 10 tons/Cm is used f r a It was observed that,with the use of the conventional molding operation continuing for 10 minutes, a egasalumina tube as the envelope, the inner wall of the ing operation is preferably carried out for about on outer envelope l0 began to blacken as the temperature hour under a vacuum pressure of 10 mm Hg while 10 of the envelope exceeded 1400" C, but the envelope heating to 100 to 200 C.

Moreover, it has a lesser blackening and a longer service life than the abovementioned conventional discharge tube and has a great practical utility.
It is usually preferred to have the thickness of both ends 11 of the envelope 1 shown in FIG. 1 larger than that of the outer region thereof as seen in FIG. 3. With the envelope of the uniform thickness, the outer surface of both ends of the envelope is preferably coated (see FIG. 4) with powdered heat-resistant material 12, such as alumina or yttria, so that the envelope may have a lower heat conductivity in the end portions than in the central zone. By this measure, stabilized discharge characteristics can be obtained as a result of obviating a temperature decrease at the end portions of the envelope. As the powdered heat-resistant material to be coated on the outer surface of the end portions of the envelope, it is preferred to use oxides which have a thermal conductivity less than yttria and are chemically stable at operating temperatures. In addition, a powdered heat-resistant material is preferably coated around outside of the opposite ends of the envelope up to the height of the electrodes.
What we claim is:
1. A high pressure sodium vapor discharge lamp comprising:
a tubular elongated envelope of sintered polycrystalline yttria consisting of corrosion resistant yttrium oxide and having an average grain size of 0.1 to 5 mm, said envelope having a pair of electrodes sealed into opposite ends, and

World Bulletin / News Desk
The Ankara 12th High Criminal Court has detained six members of the Confederation of Public Sector Trade Unions (KESK) for suspected links to the Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) and released KESK head Lami Özgen, who was taken into custody on Monday.
Following a ruling by the Ankara Specially Authorized Prosecutor's Office on Monday, dozens of people were taken into custody and 13 were referred to the court for arrest. The court later ordered six of the suspects be arrested, pending trial, and released seven. The same court sent 22 KESK members to prison and released 12 other suspects on Thursday.
The investigation into the KCK, which prosecutors say is an umbrella organization for the PKK and other affiliated groups, started in December 2009 and a large number of suspected KCK members, including several mayors from the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), have been detained.
