It is lone coffee pot made imprinted on the underside "S. Kirk & Son," "Sterling," model number "184 A F," and "Hand Decorated."

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
Give us today the food we need. Matthew 6:11 (TEV)
"If we prayed as much as we worried, we'd have a lot less to worry about! Give God your worries."
Once you have given God your love and your life, Jesus teaches you can give him your worries by asking God to provide for your needs and the trusting that he will provide.
For instance, we can ask God to give us the food we need each day. Some translations say, "Give us this day our daily bread."
What is "daily bread"? It is the necessities of life -- our physical and material needs that we're always worrying about. God wants you to ask him to provide those things so you don't have to worry about them. He's promised to provide all your needs: "My God shall supply all of your needs." (Philippians 4:19)
What do you need today? Energy to make it through the day? Finances? Wisdom? You've got two alternatives: panic or pray. Philippians 4:6 says: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
Do you really believe this verse? God says you can pray about everything. Nothing is too great for God's power. Nothing is too insignificant for His care. Anything worth worrying about is worth praying about. If we prayed as much as we worried, we'd have a lot less to worry about! Give God your worries.
When you talk to God about your needs, you need to be specific. When you pray generically -- "God, bless me" -- how are you going to know if He answered it or not? What's a blessing? Sometimes blessings come in the form of problems. You'd better be careful when you pray, "God, bless me."
Notice the Philippian verse also says, "... by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving." When you pray, be specific and do it with thanksgiving. Gratitude is the healthiest emotion you can have, psychologists say. The more you develop an attitude of appreciation for God, your family, and other people, the healthier you are emotionally.
You worship God through prayer when you give him your love (praise), your life (purpose), and your worries (provision).
God is all about changing lives. He can help you through any struggle you're facing, and take you from where you are to where you want to be.
In God's Power to Change Your Life, Rick Warren lays the groundwork for personal transformation, offering biblical insights on what it takes to become more loving, live more peacefully, develop patience, and have self-control
You can live for weeks without food, days without water, and seconds without air. But you cannot live without hope! In this series, Pastor Rick shares how the hope of Jesus' Resurrection means God is still able to do a miracle in your life.

Kate official portrait unveiled
The Duchess of Cambridge has described her first official portrait, which was unveiled today, as "amazing".
The Duchess of Cambridge has described her first official portrait, which was unveiled today, as "amazing".
Britain's most prolific royal portrait artist has praised the first official painting of the Duchess of Cambridge, calling it "extremely warm."
Richard Stone, who has painted most members of the Royal Family during the past three decades, said the work by Paul Emsley had captured Kate's evident approachability.
I liked it, very much so. So often with official portraits they can be rather stiff and starchy, but this has a lovely informality about it, and a warmth to it.
I haven't met the Duchess of Cambridge, but by all accounts and obviously from the photographs and on television, she comes across as an extremely warm and approachable person, and that seems to be exactly what he has captured.
It was jolly brave of him to paint it well over life size, because that's extremely difficult. It's very challenging to do something larger than life, and he seems to have pulled it off very well.
The man, who was in his 30s, has not been identified, while several other people are believed to have suffered serious injuries.
The Olympian was one of several sports stars who opened up to the prince during an event for his mental health charity Heads Together.
There will be sunny spells, with temperatures peaking at 23 Celsius (73F). However, Northern Ireland will experience frequent showers.

VANCOUVER, B.C. — Functional Technologies Corp. has developed, tested and filed patent applications for yeast technology that reduces the formation of acrylamide, which the World Health Organization views as probably carcinogenic to humans. The Vancouver-based company now seeks to partner with companies in the yeast and food processing/manufacturing industries to accelerate product development and commercialization of its proprietary yeast strain product.
"Acrylamide is a high priority among consumers, the food industry and health regulators around the world," said Garth Greenham, president and chief operating officer of Functional Technologies. "Preliminary lab testing is positive, and we're very excited to utilize yeast, with its long history of use and familiarity in the food industry, to help resolve this important health concern."

Crucibles of Political Loyalty: Church Institutions and Electoral Continuity in Hungaryby Jason Wittenberg
This book investigates one of the oldest paradoxes in political science: why do mass political loyalties persist even amid prolonged social upheaval and disruptive economic development. Drawing on extensive archival research and an original database of election results, this book explores the paradox of political persistence by examining Hungary's often
This book investigates one of the oldest paradoxes in political science: why do mass political loyalties persist even amid prolonged social upheaval and disruptive economic development. Drawing on extensive archival research and an original database of election results, this book explores the paradox of political persistence by examining Hungary's often tortuous path from pre- to post-communism. Wittenberg reframes the theoretical debate, and then demonstrates how despite the many depredations of communism, the Roman Catholic and Calvinist Churches transmitted loyalties to parties of the Right. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Church resistance occurred not from above, but from below. Hemmed in and harassed by communist party cadres, parish priests and pastors employed a variety of ingenious tactics to ensure the continued survival of local church institutions. These institutions insulated their adherents from pressures to assimilate into the surrounding socialist milieu. Ultimately this led to political continuity between pre- and post-communism.
Editorial Reviews
Robert Levgold, Foreign Affairs
"Jason Wittenberg's study of the relationship between religiosity and voting practices in Hungary since the Second World War is an impressive attempt to bridge the methodological divide in the social sciences between number-crunching and narration...A formidable piece of scholarship and a highly stimulating spur to further research. It asks probing questions and includes keen observations, and it is to be hoped that political scientists as well as other scholars will continue to deploy a broad methodological arsenal to follow up on them."
James Bjork, H-Net Reviews
"Political scientists have long claimed that some public attitudes are surprisingly durable in the face of significant political, economic and social change and even when well-established regimes are dedicated to their eradication. However, the evidence for such claims is usually spotty; attitudes are rarely linked to behavior; and the mechanisms of reproduction are usually under-specified. Jason Wittenberg's careful analysis of local political struggles over the course of Hungary's transitions to both communism and postcommunism is a welcome exception to these generalizations. He provides strong evidence not just of the durability of public beliefs and their linkages to political behavior, but also the processes by which these beliefs and behaviors maintain themselves through the passage of time and in an unusually hostile political environment." Valerie Bunce, Cornell University
"Methodologists extol the merits of combining quantitative and qualitative methods, but serious analyses taking such advice are rare. This book is a wonderful exemplar of what can be learned from combining the two methods. The puzzle of why pre-Communist political cleavages manifested themselves again in post-Communist Hungary, as if 40 years of Communist rule did not matter, is both important and fascinating. The answer in terms of church institutions is equally important. Wittenberg's marshalling of different types of evidence makes the answer compelling."
Nathaniel Beck, New York University
"Where the Catholic and Calvinist Churches outsmarted the Communist Party, Jason Wittenberg's compelling study shows, right wing voting in Hungary reemerged even after a half-century of rapid modernization and authoritarian rule. Wittenberg's stunning combination of archival discovery and statistical savvy makes this methodologically sophisticated book a veritable page-turner."
David D. Laitin, Stanford University
"Wittenberg has successfully mixed a reading of the everyday party documents with a cutting-edge study of voting patterns to produce a convincing overall work. It is one of a few, and certainly one of the best, works on the persistence of political loyalties in authoritarian societies."
Roger Petersen, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

General Question
What are some good phrases to dismiss the importance of bean counting?
Asked by pallen123 (1511 ) September 24th, 2012
I've heard the phrase "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin". What are some other analogies or phrases people use to question the importance of measuring things that are difficult to measure or imprecise? Is the Heisenberg Principle or Red Shift relevant?

Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge: where to stay with toddler

Laurel Falls is a popular and pretty easy trail (it's been awhile, but if I remember correctly it's at least partially paved). Abrams Falls is another popular hike, but it's a bit harder. Still not strenuous, but more taxing than Laurel.
As far as where to stay, it really depends on what you plan to spend most of your time doing. If you plan to be mostly outdoors in the park, the cabin makes sense. There are hundreds to choose from, and many threads here about them if you do a search. If you plan to spend a lot of time in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge (outlet shopping, the aquarium, restaurants, etc), you probably want to stay in town. Personally I'd pick Gatlinburg because you can more easily walk to things on the parkway once you're parked at your hotel. Pigeon Forge is more of a driving town.
Report Abuse
Kris, I live here in the Wears Valley area. I would always pick a cabin over a motel. It gives you space to spread out and really enjoy the mountains. You can check out my cabin at www.vrbo.com/147175. Also as far as waterfall hikes go, the one to Laurel Falls in the park is actually paved, so you could take a stroller on it. That is the only one that I know of that you could take a stroller. Otherwise, somebody is going to have to be carried. Have a wonderful and great time as you enjoy the Smokies.

LONDON May 2 Britain's Rolls-Royce said it was on track to report good growth in underlying profit in 2013, after a strong first quarter from its civil aerospace unit.
Rolls, the world's second-largest maker of aircraft engines behind U.S. group General Electric, on Thursday said it also expects to deliver modest growth in annual underlying revenues with cash flow around breakeven.
The company said Tony Wood, currently the president of Rolls' marine unit, would take over as president of its aerospace business on May 13, replacing Mark King who has decided to resign from the company at the end of June.

The suspension will involve placing the Operation on care and maintenance until the price of uranium recovers. This decision will preserve the remaining ore body until a sustained price recovery occurs and Paladin determines that production may be resumed on a profitable basis.
The Government of Malawi (GoM), which has a 15% interest in PAL, has been notified of this decision and PAL will be working with the relevant GoM authorities on implementation of the suspension of operations.
Reasons for Decision
The decision to suspend production at KM was based on two factors, both beyond the control of PAL and the Company:
1. The continuing depressed price for uranium oxide, which has been severely negatively impacted since March 2011 following the nuclear reactor damage caused by the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami; and 2. The unsustainable cash demand to maintain the loss-making Operation at KM.
The Managing Director/CEO of Paladin, Mr John Borshoff, said that the decision to place KM on care and maintenance would be in the best long-term interest of all stakeholders, as the Operation would resume only when it was profitable to do so.
"The Kayelekera Mine has performed exceptionally well technically, with production levels recorded at or near nameplate capacity over the past 12 months and significant achievements made in PAL's cost reduction programme. That is a credit to all the staff at KM and something of which they can be very proud. Nevertheless, despite these considerable efforts, KM continues to operate at a loss due to the low prevailing uranium price. Paladin is unable to continue to provide the level of financial support that PAL has required in recent years, hence the decision at this time."
"By placing Kayelekera on care and maintenance now, we are preserving the remaining value of the ore body until it can be mined profitably to make a positive contribution to the Paladin Group. This is in the best interest of all PAL stakeholders, including the Government of Malawi," Mr Borshoff said.
Impact of Low Prices
PAL has maintained operations at KM since the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami of March 2011 at considerable financial cost to Paladin. During this period, the spot uranium price has more than halved from its pre-Fukushima level of US$72.63/lb to a current price of US$35.50/lb. While PAL has achieved successive cost reductions quarter by quarter, these efforts have not been sufficient to achieve cash break-even at KM. For example, during financial year 2012-13, PAL reduced KM's year-on-year direct cost of production (C1) by 24% to US$39.20/lb, while maintaining uranium production at optimal, near-nameplate levels. In the same period, the uranium spot price declined by 32% - from US$50.75/lb in June 2012 to US$34.50/lb in July 2013.
While PAL has successfully installed and commissioned one of two major cost-reduction initiatives at KM for FY 2013-14 - the Nano-filtration acid recovery plant; the second measure - aimed at significantly reducing KM's cost of power by connecting the Operation to Malawi's national power distribution grid - has not been achieved to date. During the 18-month negotiating period, uranium prices have continued to fall, making grid power - even if available at this time - ineffectual in achieving profitability at KM.
Since Fukushima, the negative impact on KM of the very low uranium spot price was partially offset initially by several higher-priced term sales contracts put in place before March 2011; however, KM delivered its last product under these contracts in September 2013. Subsequent uranium produced from KM is now fully exposed to the depressed uranium spot market. The very low continuing uranium spot price, together with the Operation's cash cost of production, which remains above the spot price, makes continued operation at KM unsustainable in both current market conditions and in conditions projected in the medium term.
Production Rundown
While mining operations at KM are being suspended, processing of ore will continue during a transitional rundown phase until reagents and consumables on site have been depleted and the production circuit has been emptied and cleaned. At this time, the plant will be sterilised, shut down and placed on care and maintenance. This rundown/sterilisation phase is expected to be completed by April/May of this year.
PAL is committed to maintaining the mine and infrastructure at KM in good working order to facilitate a rapid resumption of production when market conditions dictate that it is possible to profitably do so. For this reason, PAL will retain some 194 Malawi national employees and 27 expatriate staff to maintain the site, including staff to strengthen physical security measures at the Operation.
Generous Redundancy Package
This decision will result in a significant level of redundancy at KM and the process has commenced to retrench employees not required during the period of care and maintenance. In appreciation of their endeavours to drive down costs and improve efficiency, retrenched national employees will receive generous redundancy packages that exceed Malawi's minimum legal requirements. Based on length of service, allowances and entitlements and an ex-gratia payment, the average payout for national employees will be the equivalent of 10.7 months' salary. It is the Company's hope that this gesture will assist employees in their transition from employment at KM. In addition, national employees will be offered financial planning advice and training in business skills.
Financial and Guidance Impact on Paladin
Supporting KM has been a substantial drain on Paladin's cash resources during the past three years. Based on a uranium price of U$35/lb, Paladin would have had to inject a further US$20M-US$25M in cash for each of the next two calendar years to maintain the Operation.
Placing KM on care and maintenance will improve Paladin's forecast cash flow position by US$7-10M in calendar year 2014 and US$20-25M in calendar year 2015. Paladin anticipates that the ongoing cost of maintaining KM on care and maintenance of approximately US$12M per annum will be funded from proceeds to be received from the sale of uranium oxide on hand and produced during the rundown phase. The previously announced repayment of PAL's Project Financing Facility has saved an additional US$30M cash requirement in 2014.
Production and cost guidance at Paladin's Langer Heinrich Mine in Namibia, which has a significantly lower cost profile than KM, will not be affected by this move.
Following the decision to place KM on care and maintenance, Paladin is revising its FY14 production guidance from 8.3-8.7Mlb U3O8 to 7.8-8.0Mlb U3O8.
Commitment to Malawi
Paladin remains committed to its vision of the long-term viability and strength of the nuclear sector and to its presence in Malawi. Paladin intends to maintain its presence in Malawi and to continue exploration activities in the country, with the objective of identifying and delineating additional uranium resources in order to assure the long-term future of KM.
The Company will also sustain its commitment to PAL's Corporate Social Responsibility programme in Malawi, albeit at a reduced expenditure level in line with KM's non-producing status.
PAL will also maintain its strict environmental management of the Operation.
Impact on Supply Side
Paladin has consistently stated that current pricing levels for uranium oxide are unsustainable. KM is one of numerous uranium mines currently operating at or below break-even. PAL's decision to place KM on care and maintenance is the latest in a sequence of closures, production suspensions and deferrals of major planned greenfield and brownfield expansions in the uranium sector, including Paladin's decision in 2012 to suspend evaluation of a major Stage 4 expansion of the Langer Heinrich Mine in Namibia.
Mr Borshoff stated: "We will not contemplate any such an expansion until uranium prices reach at least US$75/lb and are sustainable at or above this level." He added that, consistent with that decision, Paladin would invest in future production only when it made economic sense to do so - and this included recommencement of production in Malawi, as well as expansion in Namibia.
"This unfortunate but necessary curtailment of world uranium production will have impacts well into the future. Even when uranium prices improve, it is inevitable that the lead-time to return mothballed operations to production and re-evaluate the development timeframe for deferred brownfield and greenfield projects will exacerbate the uranium supply-demand imbalance that will become increasingly evident in the course of this decade."
Positioning for the Future
During its dynamic period of growth and expansion, Paladin has demonstrated that it could simultaneously develop and commission two state-of-the-art uranium projects utilising technological innovations. During its consolidation phase, Paladin demonstrated that its operations units could perform consistently near or better than nameplate capacity in an African environment, while attaining commendable safety standards. Paladin retains its installed capacity of 8.5Mlb pa, including the 3.3Mlb pa at KM that will be available for the future.
"Electing to take Kayelekera "off-line" at this time is a prudent and sensible step to preserve shareholder value and position Paladin to take best advantage of the opportunities that will present to the Company when the uranium sector enters its next exciting phase of growth and profitability," Mr Borshoff said.
Appendix 1: ASX Determination Required under Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules
Paladin does not intend to seek the approval of shareholders to the suspension of operations at KM unless ASX requires it under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.
Paladin intends to apply to ASX for a determination as to whether shareholder approval is required under Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules. After ASX has made its determination in respect of Paladin's application, Paladin will update the market accordingly. In the event that ASX determines that the approval of shareholders is required under Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2, Paladin will provide further details regarding the process and timetable for seeking such approval.
Details of the Assets subject to the Suspension
As indicated above, the suspension will involve placing the Kayelekera Mine (KM) operation on care and maintenance until a recovery in the price of uranium enables production to resume on a profitable basis. Production at Paladin's Langer Heinrich Mine in Namibia will not be affected.
KM is Paladin's producing uranium mine in Malawi, southern Africa. The Mining Licence (ML 152) was granted in April 2007 for a period of 15 years following the signing of a Development Agreement (DA) with the Government of Malawi. Construction commenced in June 2007 and was completed in April 2009.
KM is wholly-owned by Paladin (Africa) Limited (PAL), a subsidiary of Paladin incorporated in Malawi. Paladin's wholly owned subsidiary, Paladin Energy Minerals NL, holds an 85% interest in PAL. The remaining 15% interest is held by the GoM, pursuant to the terms of the DA.
The mining method used at KM is conventional open pit and the Operation's resin-in-pulp processing plant has operated at or near its design capacity of 3.3Mlb pa. Details of the Kayelekera project's Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are detailed below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mineral Resource at 300ppm U3O8 cut-off ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mt Grade ppm U3O8 t U3O8 Mlb U3O8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Measured Resources 0.87 1,071 931 2.05 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Indicated Resources 13.43 722 9,694 21.37 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Measured and Indicated 14.30 743 10,625 23.42 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stockpiles 1.54 945 1,454 3.21 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inferred Resources 5.4 623 3,336 7.4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Figures may not add due to rounding and are quoted inclusive of any Ore Reserves and are depleted for mining to end of June 2013.
As noted in Paladin's 2013 Annual Report, the Mineral Resource is unchanged from that previously reported except for depletion due to mining activities to 30 June 2013. The Mineral Resource estimate is based on Multi Indicator Kriging techniques with a specific adjustment based on parameters derived from the mining process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ore Reserve at 400ppm U3O8 cut-off ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mt Grade ppm U3O8 t U3O8 Mlb U3O8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proved Reserve 0.49 1,230 605 1.33 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Probable Reserve 5.98 907 5,423 11.96 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stockpiles 1.54 945 1,454 3.21 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Ore Reserve 8.01 934 7,483 16.50 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Figures may not add due to rounding and are depleted for mining to end of June 2013.
As noted in the 2013 Annual Report, the underlying Ore Reserve is unchanged from the one announced in 2008 and has only been depleted for mining until 30 June 2013. With the exception of the prevailing uranium price the parameters and assumption used to estimate the reported Minerals and Ore Reserves have not materially changed since the estimations were undertaken.
This information in the tables above relating to KM was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004. It has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information that the estimates are derived from has not materially changed since it was last reported.
Financial Impact
The financial impact on Paladin's balance sheet will be immaterial, given that the value of the KM asset has already been written down to zero. The suspension of operations will result in an impairment of inventory, stores and consumables of approximately US$32M.
As noted earlier, Paladin has revised its production guidance for FY14 from 8.3-8.7Mlb U3O8 to 7.8-8.0Mlb U3O8.
There will be no effect on Paladin's capital structure as a result of the suspension of mining activities at KM.
Indicative timetable
As noted above, PAL is currently in the process of suspending operations at KM, but processing of ore will continue until early in the June 2014 quarter when reagents and consumables on site will have been depleted. All remaining in-circuit inventory will then be recovered and the plant cleaned in preparation for care and maintenance which will commence by the end of the June quarter.
The information in this Announcement relating to exploration and mineral resources and ore reserves is, except where stated, based on information compiled by David Princep B.Sc and Andrew Hutson B.E. who are both Fellows of the AusIMM. Messrs Princep and Hutson have sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity that they are undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves", and as a Qualified Person as defined in Canadian National Instrument 43-101.

Slave Bracelet: A Jewelry Term We Should All Probably Stop Using
There's just something so sinister about writing the term "slave" in curlicue font. Photo: Via Asuyeta
While trawling the Internet for new jewelry, we came across the "slave bracelet," a jarring term for what's a very pretty piece of jewelry, and a phrase that doesn't seem to be offending anyone as much as it does us. Typically describing a bracelet that also connects to an attached ring, the slave bracelet seems to be a colloquial term for a jewelry style without an agreed-upon name (we reached out to our jewelry friends who also said the piece goes by the "Hath Panja bracelet," the "belly dancer bracelet," "harem bracelet," and "hand flower"). Some "slave bracelet" makers contend that the term actually refers to the fact that the attached ring is chained to the bracelet in a "slave" relationship. The historical origin of the term escapes us, but we venture to guess that it's a nod to a general pre-Byzantine aesthetic of adornment probably found on harem slaves... but forgive us for feeling that, even with the obvious physical relationships and the 1,500 years between us and the reference, using the word "slave" as a descriptor still feels spectacularly inappropriate.
Photo: Via Patricia Field
The media firestorm that happened surrounding Vogue Italia's use of "Slave Earrings" was furious and effective, which makes us all the more confused about the lack of conversation surrounding "Slave Bracelet." The term brings up more than a thousand entries on Etsy, and even more established brands utilize it as well (Patricia Field has a piece on her website listed as the "3 Finger Chain Slave Bracelet"). So...jewelry fans and jewelry makers — what do you say? Are we overreacting or should we all just agree that this piece should be called something way less offensive?

Billy Wagner spoke to the media for the first time since being acquired from the Mets Tuesday in exchange for Chris Carter and player to be named later. Here is the roundup from the press conference, thanks to WEEI.com's Mike Petraglia.
Wagner noted that he has no problem with current Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon and that the comments the two made about each other were overblown. On all of the deliberation as to whether he would waive his no-trade clause to come to Boston and his eventual decision to do so, Wanger said "I'm excited. My biggest concern was can I fulfill what they're asking for."
Wagner will wear his customary No. 13 with Boston after shortstop Alex Gonzalez switched from 13 to 3. He is scheduled to throw a bullpen today and isn't expected to see game action until tomorrow. When he does finally make his Red Sox debut, Wagner said that the adjustment to the American League probably won't be as big a deal as it would be for a starting pitcher.
The six-time NL All-Star is 11 months removed from Tommy John surgery. On his return from surgery at the age of 38, Wagner spoke of the obstacles he overcame.
"I was told my career [was] over," Wagner said. "I just stuck with [physical therapist] Chris Correnti.
"My fastball has quite a bit of life right now," added Wagner, who hit 96 mph at Citi field in a scoreless eighth inning last Thursday. "This Tommy John isn't looking so bad right now "
Wagner remains 15 saves away from 400 and said he wants to reach the milestone. Whether he will be able to do that in a Red Sox uniform remains to be seen, considering the likes of Papelbon and Daniel Bard that probably rank higher on manager Terry Francona's totem pole.

Religious paraphernalia -- from gilded goblets to huge Jesus statues to "high-tech" electronic rosaries -- is a $5 billion business. The International Exhibition of Church Furnishings, Liturgical Items and Religious Building Components, held in the north east of Italy, is like the CES of religion. Photographer Louis de Belle captured the high weirdness in a beautifully strange series "detaching for a moment all of (religion's) paraphernalia from the notion of faith."
"This trade fair's functional infrastructure, stocked with clergy apparel, liturgical items and cult objects, becomes the backdrop of a "counter–reality" made of bored salesmen, busy nuns and misplaced items," de Belle writes. "A last supper is hanging before a modest refreshment, agonising crucifixes are being quickly deposited, while industrious sisters do their business."

On Jan. 7, Latulip met with a social worker and told her he thought he was somebody else, Gavin said. The social worker found his missing persons case file and police were then called in. Latulip volunteered to have a DNA test done and on Monday, the results came back indicating he was Latulip.
Gavin said it is an unusual, but happy resolution to the case.
"When someone goes missing for an extended period of time, they don't want to be found and they're off the grid and we don't find them," Gavin said. "Or the other option, sadly, is sometimes people are deceased. I've never heard of something like this where someone's memory has come back and their identity is recovered.
"It is absolutely a good news story," Gavin added. "I try not to only think about his mother's side, but also Mr. Latulip's side where for 30 years you've learned a certain way and someone tells you and confirms to you that's not who you are. That's a lot to take in, personally, right, so there's interesting pieces for him as well."

This is a kinkajou, or "honey bear," a mammal who usually calls the Central and South American rainforests its home. That's far from Miami, Florida, where one scared the hell out of a 99-year-old woman who woke up to find it sleeping on her chest. The animal ran off into the attic where her son-in-law was able to lure it into a cage. He brought it to the South Dade Avian & Exotic Animal Medical Center where veterinarian Don J. Harris identified it.
"I don't know, I guess her first impression was it might be a cat, but when they both got a look at each other, they both freaked out," Harris said.
According to the Miami Herald, the kinkajou's owner has been found. Read the rest

And all of a sudden they hit a home run," Keeton said. "I went up to grab it... I missed it, and then said, 'Where's my drink?' Everybody was laughing... The drink was stuck to the back of my head. The drink was pouring out of it."
According to one doctor, the ability stems from Keeton's slightly high baseline body temperature of 100 degrees. Read the rest
If you stood next to Sankey Flynn (1918-2001) of Greensboro, North Carolina, you might have thought he had a wristwatch in his head. An audible tick-tock sound could be heard coming from Flynn's ears about twice a second.
According to physicians, the noise came from the "spasmodic contraction of muscles in the roof of his mouth. This causes the eustachian tube, leading from the throat to the ears, to open and shut making the peculiar noise."

On June 30, 2001, a woman brought a strange sculpture onto the Antiques Roadshow for appraisal called The Kangaroo Bird. She paid $60.00 for it and wasn't she excited to find out it was an original Dr. Seuss sculpture valued at $25,000?!
The Kangaroo Bird was part of a project that Ted Geisel, Dr. Seuss, called The Seuss System of Unorthodox Taxidermy. He created these heads to be displayed in bookshops around New York to promote his new book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. They are very striking and unforgettable. I dare you. Just try to not remember The Kangaroo Bird.
I got my first glimpse of Dr. Seuss's Unorthodox Taxidermy while in Kauai, Hawaii, in 2000. I was strolling through an art gallery and nearly dropped my ice cream cone when I saw the Blue Green Abalard.
It was beautiful. It was unique. And it was something I just couldn't take with me. What I assumed was an original Seuss sculpture, was actually a one of 99, limited edition, hand-painted, cast resin reproductions. You can sometimes find the Blue Green Abalard on Ebay with a buy it now price of about $20,000 - and this is just a copy. Isn't that something?
Anyway, I talked about the Blue Green Abalard for the next 5 years to whoever would listen to me. I was haunted by the missed opportunity to have something so interesting and then I met my wife. She had just learned about a Secret Art of Dr. Read the rest

- State department audit faults Hillary Clinton in emails
WASHINGTON: Hillary Clinton disregarded various state department guidelines for avoiding cybersecurity risks, an internal audit found on Wednesday, faulting her and past secretaries of state for weak information management.The inspector general's 78-page analysis, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, cites "longstanding, systemic weaknesses" related to the agency's communications. These started before Clinton's appointment as secretary of state, but her failures were singled out as more serious.Despite guidelines to the contrary and never seeking approval, Clinton used mobile devices to conduct official business on her personal email account and private server. She never sought approval from senior information officers, who would have refused the request because of security risks, the audit said."By secretary Clinton's tenure, the department's guidance was considerably more detailed and more sophisticated," it concluded."Secretary Clinton's cybersecurity practices accordingly must be evaluated in light of these more comprehensive directives."The review was prompted by the revelations of Clinton's email use, which has affected her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. Nevertheless, the review also encompassed the email and information practices of the last five secretaries.The report said the department and its secretaries were "slow to recognize and to manage effectively the legal requirements and cybersecurity risks associated with electronic data communications, particularly as those risks pertain to its most senior leadership." Clinton has been dogged by questions about her email practices for more than a year, since AP revealed that the clintonemail.com server was in the basement of Clinton's New York home while she served as the nation's top diplomat from 2009 to 2013.Separately from the State Department audit, FBI agents have been probing whether Clinton's use of a private email server imperiled government secrets.Clinton has acknowledged in the campaign that her homebrew email setup was a mistake, but said she never sent or received anything marked classified at the time.

- MP becomes first state to set up 'happiness department'
BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh has become the first state in the country to set up a "happiness department'' in order to measure prosperity by gauging citizens' happiness quotients and not GDP. A decision to establish a new "happiness department" was taken in state cabinet on Friday. The decision came exactly two and a-half months after chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan promised to bring happiness to people's lives and track the growth of the state through a separate 'happiness department'. "The state cabinet has decided to constitute a `happiness department' to bring cheers to the life of common man. This is an effort to ensure happiness in their lives by taking suggested measures,'' said Chouhan while addressing reporters at the secretariat. The 'happiness department' will be manned by 20 employees and an initial budget allocation of Rs 3. 6 crore. "We are in the process of appointing a chairman, a chief executive, two directors for research and coordination, an accountant, four research assistants and 11 subordinate staff,'' said a senior official. The 'happiness department' will work as a `knowledge resource centre'. Besides, the government has also formed a `state happiness institute' which will scale the level of happiness and identify techniques. It will also define policies apart from planning and implementation of the concept. The department will also chalk out action plans and decide on activities through surveys. Emphasising the initiative, Chouhan, who would initially take charge of this department said, "People need something more to be happy in their lives besides basic needs of `Roti, Kapda aur Makaan' (food, cloth and shelter). To suggest people ways to be happy and create an inner sense of satisfaction, the government will add a panel of experts for advice,'' he added. Referring to Bhutan, Chouhan said, being a small country, Bhutan is measuring people's satisfaction through a `happiness index' and even the International Management Institute of United States has adopted the concept of 'gross national wellness' to keep people happy in life. "Happiness is normally measured with economic growth which is averse to our country's beliefs since ages. There is something more which gives more cheerfulness in people's lives. India has yoga, meditation and sports which give a sense of satisfaction, as happiness does not often come with materialistic possession or development,'' said Chouhan. United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the only country to create posts of 'minister of happiness' in the government. Now with a department in Madhya Pradesh, the government has ensured that it will make the officials responsible for the happiness and tolerance levels of its citizens and rope in psychologists to counsel people on how to be happy always.
