Properties of a channel affect the amount of data that can be handled by the channel. The so-called "Shannon limit" defines the theoretical limit of the amount of data that a channel can carry.
Different techniques have been used to increase the data rate that can be handled by a channel. "Near Shannon Limit Error-Correcting Coding and Decoding: Turbo Codes," by Berrou et al. ICC, pp 1064-1070, (1993), described a new "turbo code" technique that has revolutionized the field of error correcting codes. Turbo codes have sufficient randomness to allow reliable communication over the channel at a high data rate near capacity. However, they still retain sufficient structure to allow practical encoding and decoding algorithms. Still, the technique for encoding and decoding turbo codes can be relatively complex.
A standard turbo coder 100 is shown in
Three different items are sent over the channel 150: the original k bits, first encoded bits 110, and second encoded bits 112. At the decoding end, two decoders are used: a first constituent decoder 160 and a second constituent decoder 162. Each receives both the original k bits, and one of the encoded portions 110, 112. Each decoder sends likelihood estimates of the decoded bits to the other decoders. The estimates are used to decode the uncoded information bits as corrupted by the noisy channel.
A coding system according to an embodiment is configured to receive a portion of a signal to be encoded, for example, a data block including a fixed number of bits. The coding system includes an outer coder, which repeats and scrambles bits in the data block. The data block is apportioned into two or more sub-blocks, and bits in different sub-blocks are repeated a different number of times according to a selected degree profile. The outer coder may include a repeater with a variable rate and an interleaver. Alternatively, the outer coder may be a low-density generator matrix (LDGM) coder.
The repeated and scrambled bits are input to an inner coder that has a rate substantially close to one. The inner coder may include one or more accumulators that perform recursive modulo two addition operations on the input bit stream.
The encoded data output from the inner coder may be transmitted on a channel and decoded in linear time at a destination using iterative decoding techniques. The decoding techniques may be based on a Tanner graph representation of the code.
The outer coder 202 receives the uncoded data. The data may be partitioned into blocks of fixed size, say k bits. The outer coder may be an (n,k) binary linear block coder, where n>k. The coder accepts as input a block u of k data bits and produces an output block v of n data bits. The mathematical relationship between u and v is v=T0u, where T0 is an n�k matrix, and the rate of the coder is k/n.
The rate of the coder may be irregular, that is, the value of T0 is not constant, and may differ for sub-blocks of bits in the data block. In an embodiment, the outer coder 202 is a repeater that repeats the k bits in a block a number of times q to produce a block with n bits, where n=qk. Since the repeater has an irregular output, different bits in the block may be repeated a different number of times. For example, a fraction of the bits in the block may be repeated two times, a fraction of bits may be repeated three times, and the remainder of bits may be repeated four times. These fractions define a degree sequence, or degree profile, of the code.
The inner coder 206 may be a linear rate-1 coder, which means that the n-bit output block x can be written as x=TIw, where TI is a nonsingular n�n matrix. The inner coder 210 can have a rate that is close to 1, e.g., within 50%, more preferably 10% and perhaps even more preferably within 1% of 1.
In an embodiment, the inner coder 206 is an accumulator, which produces outputs that are the modulo two (mod-2) partial sums of its inputs. The accumulator may be a truncated rate-1 recursive convolutional coder with the transfer function 1/(1+D). Such an accumulator may be considered a block coder whose input block [x1, . . . , xn] and output block [y1, . . . , yn] are related by the formula
y 2 =x 1 ⊕x 2
y 3 =x 1 ⊕x 2 ⊕x 3
y n =x 1 ⊕x 2 ⊕x 3 ⊕ . . . ⊕x n
where "⊕" denotes mod-2, or exclusive-OR (XOR), addition. An advantage of this system is that only mod-2 addition is necessary for the accumulator. The accumulator may be embodied using only XOR gates, which may simplify the design.
The bits output from the outer coder 202 are scrambled before they are input to the inner coder 206. This scrambling may be performed by the interleaver 204, which performs a pseudo-random permutation of an input block v, yielding an output block w having the same length as v.
The serial concatenation of the interleaved irregular repeat code and the accumulate code produces an irregular repeat and accumulate (IRA) code. An IRA code is a linear code, and as such, may be represented as a set of parity checks. The set of parity checks may be represented in a bipartite graph, called the Tanner graph, of the code.
Each check node 304 is connected to exactly "a" information nodes 302. In
In an alternate embodiment, the outer coder 202 may be a low-density generator matrix (LDGM) coder that performs an irregular repeat of the k bits in the block, as shown in
If the permutation performed in permutation block 310 is fixed, the Tanner graph represents a binary linear block code with k information bits (u1, . . . , uk) and r parity bits (x1, . . . , xr), as follows. Each of the information bits is associated with one of the information nodes 302, and each of the parity bits is associated with one of the parity nodes 306. The value of a parity bit is determined uniquely by the condition that the mod-2 sum of the values of the variable nodes connected to each of the check nodes 304 is zero. To see this, set x0=0. Then if the values of the bits on the ra edges coming out the permutation box are
(V1, . . . , vra), then we have the recursive formula for j=1, 2, . . . , r. This is in effect the encoding algorithm.
Two types of IRA codes are represented in
The rate of the nonsystematic code is
The rate of the systematic code is
For example, regular repeat and accumulate (RA) codes can be considered nonsystematic IRA codes with a=1 and exactly one fi equal to 1, say fq=1, and the rest zero, in which case Rnsys simplifies to R=1/q.
The IRA code may be represented using an alternate notation. Let λi be the fraction of edges between the information nodes 302 and the check nodes 304 that are adjacent to an information node of degree i, and let ρi be the fraction of such edges that are adjacent to a check node of degree i+2 (i.e., one that is adjacent to i information nodes). These edge fractions may be used to represent the IRA code rather than the corresponding node fractions. Define λ(x)=Σiλixi−1 and ρ(x)=Σiρixi−1 to be
the generating functions of these sequences. The pair (λ, ρ) is called a degree distribution. For L(x)=Σifixi,
The rate of the systematic IRA code given by the
degree distribution is given by
"Belief propagation" on the Tanner Graph realization may be used to decode IRA codes. Roughly speaking, the belief propagation decoding technique allows the messages passed on an edge to represent posterior densities on the bit associated with the variable node. A probability density on a bit is a pair of non-negative real numbers p(0), p(1) satisfying p(0)+p(1)=1, where p(0) denotes the probability of the bit being 0, p(1) the probability of it being 1. Such a pair can be represented by its log likelihood ratio, m=log(p(0)/p(1)). The outgoing message from a variable node u to a check node v represents information about u, and a message from a check node u to a variable node v represents information about u, as shown in
The outgoing message from a node u to a node v depends on the incoming messages from all neighbors w of u except v. If u is a variable message node, this outgoing message is
where m0(u) is the log-likelihood message associated with u. If u is a check node, the corresponding formula is
Before decoding, the messages m(w→u) and m(u→v) are initialized to be zero, and m0(u) is initialized to be the log-likelihood ratio based on the channel received information. If the channel is memoryless, i.e., each channel output only relies on its input, and y is the output of the channel code bit u, then m0(u)=log(p(u=0|y)/p(u=1|y)). After this initialization, the decoding process may run in a fully parallel and local manner. In each iteration, every variable/check node receives messages from its neighbors, and sends back updated messages. Decoding is terminated after a fixed number of iterations or detecting that all the constraints are satisfied. Upon termination, the decoder outputs a decoded sequence based on the messages
Thus, on various channels, iterative decoding only differs in the initial messages m0(u). For example, consider three memoryless channel models: a binary erasure channel (BEC); a binary symmetric channel (BSC); and an additive white Gaussian noise (AGWN) channel.
In the BEC, there are two inputs and three outputs. When 0 is transmitted, the receiver can receive either 0 or an erasure E. An erasure E output means that the receiver does not know how to demodulate the output. Similarly, when 1 is transmitted, the receiver can receive either 1 or E. Thus, for the BEC, yε{0, E, 1}, and
In the BSC, there are two possible inputs (0,1) and two possible outputs (0, 1). The BSC is characterized by a set of conditional probabilities relating all possible outputs to possible inputs. Thus, for the BSC yε{0, 1},
In the AWGN, the discrete-time input symbols X take their values in a finite alphabet while channel output symbols Y can take any values along the real line. There is assumed to be no distortion or other effects other than the addition of white Gaussian noise. In an AWGN with a Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) signaling which maps 0 to the symbol with amplitude √{square root over (Es)} and 1 to the symbol with amplitude −√{square root over (Es)}, output yεR, then
m 0(u)=4y√{square root over (E s)}/N 0
where N0/2 is the noise power spectral density.
The selection of a degree profile for use in a particular transmission channel is a design parameter, which may be affected by various attributes of the channel. The criteria for selecting a particular degree profile may include, for example, the type of channel and the data rate on the channel. For example, Table 1 shows degree profiles that have been found to produce good results for an AWGN channel model.
(Eb/N0) * (dB)
S.L. (dB)
Table 1 shows degree profiles yielding codes of rate approximately 1/3 for the AWGN channel and with a=2, 3, 4. For each sequence, the Gaussian approximation noise threshold, the actual sum-product decoding threshold and the corresponding energy per bit (Eb)-noise power (N0) ratio in dB are given. Also listed is the Shannon limit (S.L.).
As the parameter "a" is increased, the performance improves. For example, for a=4, the best code found has an iterative decoding threshold of Eb/N0=−0.371 dB, which is only 0.12 dB above the Shannon limit.
The accumulator component of the coder may be replaced by a "double accumulator" 600 as shown in
Alternatively, a pair of accumulators may be the added, as shown in
IRA codes may be implemented in a variety of channels, including memoryless channels, such as the BEC, BSC, and AWGN, as well as channels having non-binary input, non-symmetric and fading channels, and/or channels with memory.

Epicurious.com has put out a list of the top 10 farm-to-table restaurants in the U.S. and our very own, Woodfire Grill, has made the list.
Here is what they had to say about chef Michael Tuohy's Cheshire Bridge eatery:
Chef Michael Tuohy has long been a supporter of organic growing, and helped launch Georgia's Organics, a nonprofit group that promotes healthy, local, sustainable food in the diet of people across the state. While he uses local produce to create dishes, his cooking shows North Californian influences, hinting at his San Francisco roots. His commitment to adapting his menu with the seasons is clear: The day's fresh, local ingredients take center stage on the homepage. And even the decor has a local theme: Tuohy asked Atlanta-based craftsman Tracy Hartley to make some of the tables and wood paneling for the Grill. In many cases, the menu pays homage to the farms that provided the fare: There's a Wood-Oven-Roasted Bramlett Farm Trout with Anson Mills Grits, Steel-Pan Greens, and Herb Butter; and a Chilled French White Asparagus with Sauce Gribiche (an aïoli sauce with chopped herbs, capers, lemon juice, and spices) and Ashland Farm Micro Celery.

What if Linus Torvalds Would Have Accepted Job Proposal of Steve Jobs?
Linus Torvalds, the man behind the wonderful project Linux and Git was offered job by Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Inc. Torvalds never met Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft but he met Jobs in the year 2000 when he was working with Transmeta corporation, an American fabless semiconductor company. Jobs invited Torvalds to Cupertino Camps of Apple. Torvalds was offered thick salary and remarkable position within the organization and was supposed to do Non-Linux things at Apple. This was the point, Torvalds disagreed. Moreover Torvalds did not like the Mac Kernel, Mach.

Ubuntu MATE 16.04.1 LTS is not a major release, and if your Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) installation is up to date, you already have the latest software updates and security patches that have been injected in the new installation mediums generated mainly for those who want to reinstall or deploy the OS on new systems.
elementary OS 0.4 "Loki" Gets New Beta with over 70 Bugfixes, RC1 Coming Next
The guys over elementary OS have released a second Beta version of the highly anticipated elementary OS 0.4 "Loki" operating system, fixing numerous of the issues reported by users since the first Beta. This time, the announcement was made by Daniel 'DanRabbit' Foré, who reports that more than 70 bugs reported by public beta testers since last month's Beta release have been squashed, and that many of the fixes are in fact configuration changes, which means that they won't be available to those running the first Beta build, so they'll have to make a fresh install.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Dog Days
Zachary Gordon stars in the third film in the family comedy franchise, based on Jeff Kinney's hit pre-teen novels.
On Film4: 31 Jul 1:00PM
When security guard Channing Tatum takes his daughter (Joey King) on a visit to the White House, he little suspects that the building and its occupants, including president Jamie Foxx, are about to come under attack from insider-led terrorists. As the presidential guard begins to drop like flies, only one man can save the day. Guess who?
Roland Emmerich must really have it in for the White House. He had aliens blow it up in Independence Day, crashed an aircraft carrier into it in 2012 and now he's had the whole place taken over by terrorists who have absolutely no respect for the building's heritage status or priceless antiques. The upside of all this destruction is that Emmerich has had plenty of practice at it – and here he gets it just right. Not only that, but he pairs the explosive set pieces with a pitch-perfect comic script delivered by an excellent cast who all look like they're having a whole lot of fun.
Channing Tatum plays a down-on-his luck security guard who, when the White House comes under attack, finds he is all that's left standing between the president (Jamie Foxx) and a bunch of murderous terrorists. Like all the best action heroes who get stuck in buildings under siege, his name is John, and he eventually feels the need to strip down to an increasingly sweaty white vest. Parallels with Die Hard et al are inevitable, but the film deftly avoids toppling into tedious rip-off territory by keeping its tongue firmly in its cheek from start to finish.
The entire cast is on top form. Tatum's perfect pecks and comic timing are a joy to watch, Jamie Foxx looks like he's having a ball playing against type as the preppy, gun-fearing president, Maggie Gyllenhaal is compelling as ever as a workaholic Secret Service agent, and James Woods adds a touch of sneery gravitas as a delightfully old-school villain with equally old-school objectives. Even young Joey King, whose previous work includes small roles in Oz The Great And Powerful and The Conjuring, pulls off the impressive feat of not making Tatum's precocious daughter Emily completely unbearable.
And then there's the action which, after all, is why most people decide to watch a Roland Emmerich movie – and he doesn't disappoint. There are explosions aplenty – the big domey bit on the White House gets it – lots and lots of big guns, and a thrilling, farcical car chase around the presidential gardens.
Reviewers who have hated White House Down – and there are a fair few – have accused it of being dumb and contrived. But it's the fact that the film is so knowing in its silliness that, in this critic's opinion, elevates it above many other action movies in the 'let's wreck stuff' category, including most of Emmerich's own back catalogue.
Whether or not you enjoy this film depends entirely on whether you judge it to be po-faced or parody. If you believe it's the former, you'll probably hate it. If you believe it's the latter, you'll have an absolute blast.

When not fighting extradition, Roman Polanski has a part time job as a critically acclaimed filmmaker. His legal troubles don't seem to have hurt is box office totals and so this February he'll release his next movie, The Ghost Writer. It stars Ewan McGregor as a successful British ghost writer who agrees to write the memoirs of a former Prime Minister, only to discover that the last guy who had his job ended up dead.
Below we have the first poster from the Polanski movie. See Pierce Bronsnan looming over Ewan McGregor below. I bet he's up to no good.

UNITED NATIONS, April 01, /ITAR-TASS/. Russia stayed away from an informal meeting of UN Security Council with pro-Kiev activists - journalist Valentyna Samar and the former president of the Mejlis (Council) of the Crimean Tatar people, Mustafa Dzhemilev.
Russian Federation's mission at the UN issued a statement dismissing the event organized by Lithuania as a 'propaganda show' that did not have anything to do with the Security Council's activity.
"We categorically refuse to associate with the Security Council the propaganda show sponsored by Lithuania and involving odious personalities," the mission said. "A get-together of this kind cannot a priori provide whatever unbiased information on the situation in Crimea, a constituent territory of the Russian Federation."
"Quite naturally, the Russian delegation will ignore this tasteless undertaking," the report said.
The meeting with the activists bolstering the regime in Kiev was held under the so-called Arria Formula, which envisions free discussions between diplomats and the representatives of civic society and nongovernmental organizations. The Russian mission's statement noted a misuse of the format.
"It was devised for confidential discussions of knotty political issues but it used at times as a tool for self-advertising in front of the mass media […], and this undermines the Security Council's reputation," the statement said.
The Lithuanian delegation to the UN peddled the informal meeting as an open one but half an hour after its start when, reporters were asked to leave the hall Mustafa Dzhemilev was delivering his anti-Russian speech.
"This is a wish of the Lithuanian delegation," a worker of the UN Secretariat taking part in the event told Itar-Tass.

Wal-Mart Exec Pleads Guilty
Published: Wednesday, February 1, 2006 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 1, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
A former Wal-Mart Stores Inc. vice chairman who was a protege of founder Sam Walton pleaded guilty to fraud and tax charges Tuesday, admitting that he stole money, gift cards and merchandise from the world's largest retailer. Tom Coughlin, 57, pleaded guilty to five counts of wire fraud and one count of filing a false tax return. The charges carry a maximum penalty of 28 years in prison and a $1.35 million penalty, but a reduced sentence was likely part of a plea bargain.

A year ago today, the prime minister's chief science adviser, Sir PETER GLUCKMAN, gave the Government a briefing paper on the likely psychosocial effects of the earthquakes. Today, we publish edited extracts of that paper so that people can judge whether his advice was followed.
Many people directly experiencing a major natural disaster such as an earthquake experience psychosocial effects - both individual psychological effects impacting on how people feel and social effects impacting on how they relate to each other.
Indeed, such effects are inevitable and a normal part of human psychology.
However, there is considerable variation in individual and social responses. Nevertheless, it is fair to state that the potential exists for the emotional effects of disaster to cause as great a degree of suffering as do the physical effects such as injury, destruction of infrastructure and loss of income.
In fact, they are often interrelated. Indeed, it is clear that recovery is primarily judged in terms of people feeling that they are coping with their lives and livelihood, not just in physical terms.
The problem is that every disaster is somewhat different. The Christchurch series of earthquakes is more complex than [say] a hurricane in that there is an inherent threat in the continuing aftershocks that can last for many months, exposing people to recurrent acute stress, while at the same time chronic stress is imposed by the ongoing human, economic and social costs.
A distinct feature of this event is that the initial M7.1 earthquake caused sufficient damage to induce significant traumatic stress in its own right and then, rather late in the recovery cycle, the M6.3 earthquake returned many people back to the beginning of the cycle.
These aftershocks may well extend the recovery process. Some of the population may experience ongoing feelings of insecurity, uncertainty, loss of trust in scientific information, continued hypervigilance and disturbed sleep. As we know, this disaster is also characterised by considerable numbers of people leaving the area. This population will also show psychosocial consequences of dislocation that may need to be addressed.
Classically, four phases are described after a disaster, although separating them out as distinct phases with sharp transitions is somewhat artificial: An initial heroic phase, in which people help and don't count the "costs".
A honeymoon phase in which people see some help arriving and feel that the situation will improve.
A third phase which is somewhat awkwardly and unhelpfully termed the "disillusionment phase" in which people realise how long recovery will take and become angry and frustrated. I would prefer to call it the long-term recovery and rehabilitation phase.
Finally people return to a new equilibrium, but we must understand that this is a long-term process with no clear endpoint in that things can never return to exactly what they were before the disaster, although people will find a "new normal".
While many people will be relatively resilient, many others may demonstrate the emotions of numbness, depression, despair and anger. These are normal responses to exceptional circumstances and such people should not be seen as unwell. Despite the fact that for most people these emotions will slowly diminish, in a minority they can be exhibited for months if not years.
Accumulated experience warns us to expect peaks in distress on anniversary dates.
The key issue is a psychological sense of empowerment. The earthquake was a disempowering event - an event that individuals had no control over and that leaves them essentially with no control over how they live.
The need to regain some sense of some control over one's life is central to the recovery process. Disempowerment essentially reinforces the initial trauma.
High-risk groups
Women (especially mothers of young children), children and people with a prior history of mental illness or poor social adjustment appear to be more vulnerable than other groups. Vulnerable groups evolve over the recovery period and this needs monitoring from those working in the field.
Effective ways of including these groups may include non-clinical intervention services facilitated through schools and other organisations working with families, and "check-ins" of people already known to mental health services.
Young children (ages 1-5) may exhibit fear of separation, strangers, "monsters" or animals, withdrawal, or sleep disturbances. Older children (ages 6-11 or so) may engage in repetitious storytelling or play that re-enacts parts of the disaster.
Sleep disturbances, fear of the dark, irritability, aggressive behaviour, angry outbursts, separation anxiety, school avoidance, and general changes in behaviour, mood and personality may appear. Children of all ages are strongly affected by the responses of their parents and other caregivers. "Protecting" children by sending them away from the scene of the disaster, thus separating them from their loved ones for extended periods, can add to the trauma.
Adolescent behaviour becomes increasingly similar to adult responses and may include greater levels of aggression, defiance, substance abuse and risk- taking behaviours. Support from teachers and peers and exposure to positive news stories are protective. Adolescents are particularly unlikely to seek out counselling.
Addressing tensions and conflicts
In every disaster there is an inevitable tension between the desire for an immediate response and the need for planning and risk reduction. This tension aggravates the situation and creates opportunities for externally driven exacerbation of symptoms. Anger and frustration are inevitable and endogenous. It is wrong to respond to this anger in a defensive way.
It would appear that key to minimising this phase is the promotion of local empowerment and engagement by working closely in a collaborative way with the affected population in co-ordinating and co- leading the response effort.
If the population do not sense this is happening, then the phase may well be longer and the symptoms of anger and frustration more intense.
A feeling of self-efficacy and community efficacy assists the population in reactivating their coping mechanisms. Local governance, empowerment and ownership have been shown to facilitate recovery.
Then inevitable tensions and conflicts in achieving this are obvious (long-term versus short-term, public versus private, local versus national interests) and cannot be avoided - rather, they have to be openly handled with sensitivity.
It follows that, from the psychosocial perspective, those involved in directing the recovery should create governance structures that understand and actively include community participation and enhance individual and community resilience. Such approaches will be most likely to be effective in re-establishing coping and functioning communities.
It appears important to try to give people back some sense of control and agency over their lives. Key to recovery is firstly "normalisation" - that is, getting people in some way back to business, social life, schools, church and a sense of community, even if in temporary housing or locations.
Secondly, there also needs to be normalisation of the responses to people's varied psychological reactions - that is, for there to be a wide understanding that "most emotional reactions are usual reactions to abnormal or difficult situations" and are not reflections of being mentally unwell or weak.
This requires education and orientation on the expected reactions and provision of access to available resources.
For withdrawn and depressed individuals, multiple strategies are needed (such as John Kirwan-style TV slots, alert neighbourhood visitors or community-led events). It is important that such messages are about functional changes and how lives progress rather than the symptoms per se.
Surveillance and monitoring by local organisations and GPs is an important preventative step, provided that these monitors are appropriately briefed.
Non-clinical psychological intervention at this stage can help by:
- Avoiding the labelling of normal people as "patients", thereby reaching a wider range of people;
- Providing information on the normal range of psychological effects people can expect themselves and their families to experience;
- Providing information on when further psychological assistance may be helpful and how to access it;
- Helping to restore the social connectedness and community life necessary for long-term recovery.
The expected emotional reactions to the earthquake are such that they can prevent people from taking on new information as they are preoccupied by trying to manage their responses to the threat.
Thus, many people will need repeated exposure to information and resources - often this is not recognised as a need. Open and honest information dissemination is key; mythology and rumours are the enemies of resilience.
Perhaps 5 to 10 per cent of the population in the most affected areas will need more specialised professional help at some stage. Formal psychological debriefing techniques should not be used as evidence shows that they can reinforce the problem.
And it is critical that the public messages are supportive, not threatening.
The most important ameliorating factors for the recovery phase appear to be:
- Recognising that the situation is distressing and not easy for the affected population;
- Being explicit about how governance arrangements will facilitate local engagement and empowerment;
- Recognition by the community of the conflict that is inherent between the desire for a rapid physical recovery and the difficulties that planners face. This conflict is inevitable and real - the key is to involve the community openly in resolving it;
- Providing information on expected post-disaster emotions;
- Providing community monitoring and good information on access to support services;
- Providing clarity over reconstruction and rehabilitation plans.
Issues in the 'new normal' phase
Most people make a good recovery from the psychological and social effects of significant disasters.
Giving early psychological support to the population can avoid some acute stress reactions becoming chronic and allow some extreme reactions to be picked up and referred earlier.
Around 5 to 10 per cent of the population are likely to consider that their long-term psychological health has deteriorated following a disaster of this size and may seek or require further intervention. This population will show a varied pathology: depression, high-anxiety states, as well as some post- traumatic stress syndrome states.
Unresolved post-traumatic stress syndrome and similar conditions can lead to epigenetic intergenerational effects. Factors can be identified that may increase the risk of long-term psychological symptoms and there should be monitoring within the context of the Christchurch community so that trends are identified early.
Known risk groups include families that have suffered bereavement or a personal crisis (which may be unrelated to the disaster), individuals with pre-existing mental health conditions, and children whose parents have unresolved mental health issues.
Stigmatisation of mental health issues can lead people to suppress symptoms and make healing more difficult.
Final comments
Managing the psychosocial response is complex and cannot be separated from managing the rebuild of Christchurch.
Tensions between different agendas are inevitable in any major disaster and are likely to be greater here given various factors such as the continuing high public and media focus, the fact that the disaster is in a large urban area, the electoral cycle, the economic costs of a disordered Christchurch business community, and the ongoing reminders in the form of aftershocks.
There is a need for ongoing human and organisational resources, perhaps even those of a conflict resolution team, as well as a long-term commitment to ongoing psychosocial support.
Key to success will be to convince people that the focus on the physical rebuild is not an end in itself but is designed to allow people to rebuild their lives and livelihood.

- Aedificantium enim unusquisque gladio erat accinctus.
- Nehemiah 4:18
"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians." CDF 2003

For contemplation…
"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."
- - Giovanni Guareschi

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Find a Quality Realtor. Support the Gospel of Life!
If you, or someone you know, needs to buy or sell a house, office, or any kind of domestic or commercial property anywhere in the world, call Real Estate For Life on 1-877-LIFE-US1. They connect you with an expert agent with a proven track-record from a local franchised broker or strong independent. When the sale is completed, the agent gives a portion of their fee to Real Estate For Life as a referral fee. Real Estate For Life gives 80% of that fee to one of the pro-life organizations they work with: a house with a value of $150,000 means $1000 goes to the pro-life organization. It doesn't cost you anything.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."
Francis Card. George

Good breakfast, easy check in, clean room, comfortable stay. I would stay here again.
OK for the price... room could have been cleaner
Clean and comfortable, right off the highway. They've obviously made improvements since some of the earlier reviews. I found nothing wrong with this hotel at all. Its right on par with what you expect from a Super 8.
This hotel was older with no elevator so we had to carry luggage upstairs. Not so much fun for slightly older people. The breakfast was minimal. The room was a nice size.

a true blessing, I can listen to the word while caring for my home or driving. It helps me to pronounce the old testament names and places. It is done so lively that you can see it unfold in your minds eye, and is not boring. It can help a person who has trouble reading to learn by following along.

Q. I was wondering if you know wether this product just reads the bible, or does it explain many of the passages?
- This particular product reads the bible. However, your questions may be answered in the hearing of the Word. There are associated resources that supplement the scriptures. Please review other products by this publisher.by cottonballmama3/7/2012Was this answer helpful? (0) (0)Was this answer helpful?
- just reads the bible, no explanation of passages. However, has dramatic affects that make very interesting listening.by nolongerretired5/12/2011Was this answer helpful? (0) (0)Was this answer helpful?
- I feel like that the bible is quoted, but also it is applied to life situations in a very understandable way.by mommytobe1112/15/2011Was this answer helpful? (0) (0)Was this answer helpful?
- It is read only, however it is read dramatily in the NIV. I have always studied the KVJ which many have difficulty following the old English.

I am not a big fan of this theater but it is the only local theater with the times already posted. You can get your ticket in advance at Fandango.
The movie starts at 4:05. I will wait at the door until 3:55pm.
There will be an option for dinner and drinks afterwards if anyone is interested :)

What Our Customers Are Saying
I appreciated the pricing, and the sales person was semi-helpful on the phone. However, recently Tech for Less instituted a system by which you cannot order product and have it shipped to an address different from the billing address on the card. Big hassle. Have to call card issuer, have address change, then can't order anything else anywhere until you call the card company and have it changed back. I complained, and was told "some of our customers like this new feature." I'll bet.- Ben W. (Vancouver, WA)
"I am very happy with you products & service, My Desktop is working very good it was exactly as described. Shipped very quick and the web site is very user friendly."- Hector A. (San Antonio, Tx)
