TAMPA, Fla. — Florida Sen. Marco Rubio told members of Utah's delegation to the Republican National Convention his most significant memory of their state was visiting the Osmond studios as an 8-year-old.
"It was the closest I ever got to Hollywood. So it was a big deal," he said, describing how he and his family members tried to emulate Utah's famous musical act by lip syncing to songs as the "Sunshine Cousins."
Rubio, who grew up in Nevada as a member of the LDS Church, also talked a bit about BYU football before moving on to what Utah's Republicans need to do to get Mitt Romney elected president.
"You can start making a difference in Florida by leaving a really good tip for your room service person at the end of your stay," he said, noting that Florida is one of a handful of battleground states that could swing for either Romney or President Barack Obama in November.
"Utah has a special place in all this because one of the greatest successes Romney has had is the Salt Lake Olympics, which is a story that hasn't been told enough," Rubio said. "Well, America is in even more trouble than those Olympics were and we need someone to come in and help us turn it around."
Rubio, 41 and younger than every other member of the Senate except Utah's Sen. Mike Lee, sounded just a bit nervous about introducing Romney on stage Thursday night.
"It's my honor to be able to present him and I hope I don't blow it," he said at the morning meeting of the Utah delegation. Rubio had been seen as a likely pick by Romney for the No. 2 spot on the ticket, which went instead to Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan.
Rubio joked about watching Ryan corralling his children after his acceptance speech Wednesday night. "I know the feeling. You've got to play zone. You have two kids, you can play man-to-man," the father of four said.
While posing for photos with a long line of Utah delegates, Rubio told reporters that it's also a party priority to get GOP candidates in other races elected, including 4th District congressional candidate Mia Love.
"The whole country is watching Mia, right? We're really excited about that," he said. "In addition to being really important for the Republican Party, it's important to maintaining that majority in the House."
He also said even though when it comes to the presidential race, the GOP "can't take for granted the success we've had in Utah in the past," Utahns should "figure out a way they can be helpful in other states, including their neighboring states like Nevada, which is a swing state that could very well help decide the election."
Gov. Gary Herbert said seeing Romney accept the GOP presidential nomination is the culmination of a campaign that for many supporters started with Romney's first run in 2008.
"The hard work, and the effort, the sacrifice, it's all going to pay off tonight," Herbert said. "Hopefully it propels him into the Oval Office."
The governor backed Romney's first White House bid as lieutenant governor under former Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., who broke with many Utah Republicans and supported the party's 2008 nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain.
Herbert joked that he's doing his part for the Romney campaign this election year. "I'm going to go out on a limb here. I'm going to deliver Utah for Mitt Romney."Comment on this story
Love left the convention early Thursday to return to Utah, so she could watch Romney's speech at a party catered by Hires Big H at her West Jordan campaign headquarters.
But she didn't forget the GOP leaders and activists from Utah still at the convention.
Each member of the state's delegation had a note from Love waiting in their hotel room after her convention speech Tuesday night, thanking them for their support.
Love said she personally signed all of the more than 200 cards rather than relying on a printed signature.
"Are you kidding me? I want to take care of Utah," she said.

Alan Pardew says that Newcastle United have thrown the towel in on signing Loic Remy.
The Queens Park Rangers striker has returned to his parent club after failing a medical with Liverpool – but Pardew has indicated that he is no longer chasing last season's top scorer.
He said: "I think he's had plenty of chances to come to us.
"We made it very clear that we would like to have him and it hasn't really happened and therefore sometimes you have to say where's the line drawn for us as a club as we have our own respect and our own professionalism.
"So maybe that one has gone away but like all transfers they're never, ever over so we'll keep our finger on the pulse."

Full of Bryn and vigour
MUSIC: the greatest living Welshman tells our critic about his populist instincts, his love for Wales and why he wants to be in a musical
IT TAKES a big man to make Vienna's Opera House seem small. The place is vast, plush and overbearing. Its gilded salons seem custom-built for Habsburgs to mingle with Rothschilds — which is exactly what they were made for.
Yet last Sunday the crowd in this majestic pile bowed not to the power of Empire or Commerce, but to the son of a Welsh sheep farmer. Bryn opened in Falstaff. These days, no four words produce a greater frisson in the opera world.
Everyone calls him Bryn. That's partly because Terfel is one of those tricky Welsh monikers that the non-Welsh mangle horribly, and partly because it's not his surname anyway: he was born Bryn Terfel Jones but dropped the Jones to avoid being confused…

Downtown merchants and the architect planning a seven-story Marriott raised concerns this week about the project's construction, including how frequently Valley Parkway would be partially closed and where several hundred construction workers would park.
The architect said other concerns about the $70 million project, which would be built downtown with $10.6 million in city subsidies, include firefighter access to the finished hotel and how to build such a complex structure in a tight space surrounded by City Hall and the California Center for the Arts, Escondido.
The architect, Dusty Ucker, told downtown merchants this week that such hurdles might lengthen the hotel's projected construction timeline beyond two years.
"This is a very constricted space," Ucker said during a question-and-answer session about the hotel at the Escondido Library. "This won't go as fast I'd like, I guarantee that."
Ucker said Valley Parkway would not be shut down completely, but that one or two of the road's three lanes might be closed on some days to accommodate cranes and trucks delivering large items, such as piping.
The 500 to 750 construction workers for the project are supposed to park in the northern lot of the arts center off Woodward Avenue or the former site of H. Johnson Furniture. But some merchants expressed concerns that those workers might park in public lots closer to the construction site.
Larry Kimball, a member of the hotel's development team, said the contractor would use shuttles to transport the workers if parking becomes a problem.
Ucker also discussed a 20-foot-wide "paseo" planned between the hotel and City Hall, which has been designed to allow firefighters to easily access the hotel during a fire.
The paseo, a long and narrow pathway, has been designed to match the look of a large pedestrian plaza planned for south of the hotel on Maple Street, Ucker said.
Fire Chief Mike Lowry said his department requested the paseo to ensure that its firetruck could deploy a large ladder for access to the hotel's upper floors.
Lowry said the department has been working closely with the developer and has had nearly all its concerns satisfied.
Lowry said the only comparable buildings in Escondido are the downtown Palomar Medical Center, which is nine stories tall, and the 11-story Palomar Medical Center under construction near the city's border with San Marcos.
He said structure fires in tall buildings often require multiple truck companies, and that San Marcos and Poway had truck companies that could respond.
Ucker said other design challenges included limited space for loading of supplies. He said the hotel would have one loading dock, which trucks would access with some careful maneuvers.
Kimball said the hotel will have a giant lobby featuring "themed" areas, a 120-seat restaurant, a lounge, a pool/jacuzzi complex, a concierge desk and a shop.
He said the development team expects half the business to come from groups, noting that Marriott has a strong record with convention and group business.
He predicted 125,000 people would visit the hotel during its first year.
The merchants were generally upbeat about the project and the possibility it will bolster downtown and their businesses, but they also expressed concern about the construction phase.
"I'm sure it will be terrific when done," said Andy Granger of Andy's Barber Shop. "But I'm worried there will be some growing pains during construction."

Discover seaweed at children's workshop
Rockland — Join Sarah Redmond from Maine Sea Grant at the Coastal Children's Museum Wednesday, Aug. 14, at 11 a.m. as she explores the ubiquitous, but often overlooked and underestimated species of algae commonly called seaweed.
Visitors and members will explore textures and colors of a variety of seaweed species, identify them and learn how to use them in everyday life. She will also be bringing some seaweed snacks so participants can try a few different things with seaweed in them. What a way to spend a day by the sea right on the ocean at Sharp's Point South.
Redmond is a seaweed-lover working in her home state of Maine as a University of Maine Marine Extension Agent for Maine Sea Grant, providing education, outreach, and research for these valuable and amazing sea plants. Redmond is making waves for her work to restore and maintain the seaweed harvest in Maine through aquaculture and most recently she traveled to Korea to study techniques and its applications in seaweed farming in Maine. She is also a featured speaker at the Maine Seaweed Festival Aug. 30 held on the campus of the Southern Maine Community College in South Portland.
For more information about Maine Sea Grant visit seagrant.umaine.edu.
This workshop is included in the price of admission and free for members. For more information, visit CoastalChildrensMuseum.org or find them on Facebook.

A modular connector's advantage over many other kinds include small size and ease of plugging and unplugging. Many uses that originally used a bulkier connector have migrated to modular connectors. Probably the most well known applications of modular connectors is for telephone jacks and for ethernet jacks, which are nearly always modular connectors.

Story Location:
Milton Delaware 19968United States
A Milton man is undergoing treatment after a bite from a rabid fox; public health officials warn others to take precautions, particularly around a colony of feral cats that live in the area where the fox was found.
"The assumption is they could be feral, so stay away from them," said Jill Fredel, communications director for the Department of Health and Human Services.
The man who lives in the area of Cave Neck Road, Route 88, and Chestnut Street area was bit by the fox June 2. Officials euthanized the fox and determined June 5 that the animal was rabid, Fredel said.
The resident is undergoing treatment for the bite, she said. Rabies cannot be cured once symptoms appear. If a person may have been exposed by an animal that tests positive for rabies, they will have to receive rabies shots to prevent them from developing the disease.
Paula Eggers, infectious disease epidemiologist with the Division of Public Health, said the man had been feeding about five cats in the area, which are part of a larger feral cat colony.
"Our concern is with the feral cats in the immediate area," Eggers said.
Those cats will be rounded up and euthanized by animal control, she said.
As for the larger feral cat community, Eggers said, animal control officers will assess the situation and determine what may need to be done.
Anyone who thinks they may have been bitten, scratched or had saliva contact with any fox or feral cat should contact their healthcare provider, or call the DPH Office of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at 1-888-295-5156.
DPH reminds residents that rabies is endemic in Delaware. Residents should always take precautions against rabies by avoiding wild or unfamiliar animals and ensuring their pets are up-to-date with rabies shots.
Signs of rabies in animals include daytime activity in normally nocturnal animals, wild animals approaching humans or other animals, and difficulty walking or moving. Some rabid animals may be very aggressive while others may be very weak and have excessive salivation. Report stray dogs and cats to First State Animal Center and SPCA at 1-888-352-7722.
Take the following steps to avoid rabies:
Do not feed stray animals.
Never handle wild animals such as bats, raccoons, skunks, or foxes. This includes sick, injured or dead animals.
If you wake up in a room with a bat present, seek medical attention regardless of the evidence of a bite or a scratch and call the DPH, Office of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at 1-888-295-5156. If possible, trap the bat for testing. Do not release the bat.
If bitten by an animal, wash the site thoroughly with soap and water and seek medical attention immediately.
Keep cats and ferrets indoors and dogs on a leash under direct supervision. Homeless pets are vulnerable to rabies. Help reduce unwanted animals by spaying and neutering pets. Prevent bats and raccoons from entering homes or by capping chimneys with screens and blocking openings in attics, cellars and porches. Ensure trash cans have tight latching lids.
By law, all cats, dogs, and ferrets over the age of 6 months have to be vaccinated against rabies. Delaware also recommend vaccinating against other diseases, such as distemper and the parvo virus.
Pet cats should be kept indoors for their own safety and well-being. Cats can live happy lives indoors with proper enrichment and family play time. Cats that roam outside can be hit by cars, attacked by other animals, or can be exposed to parasites and diseases.
If you care for cats living outdoors, ensure those cats are current on rabies vaccinations and are spayed or neutered. Spaying/neutering cats will eliminate the urge to fight, reducing the likelihood of disease transmission through bite injuries.
Never feed wildlife intentionally or unintentionally with unsecured trash. If you care for cats living outdoors, always remove uneaten food after feeding times. This will prevent unwanted wildlife from being attracted to the food and wandering into places where people also reside. This will reduce the likelihood of wildlife attacks on humans or pets.
Never approach or handle unfamiliar free-roaming cats. If there are free-roaming cats living in your area, contact a local organization with the expertise and training to trap the cats to have them vaccinated and spayed or neutered to improve neighborhood safety from disease and reduce unwanted litters.

.- The Vatican will advise bishops around the world this next week to be more rigorous in their selection of the candidates they propose for sainthood, ANSA reports.
A 20-page document to be presented in the Vatican on February 18 will ask bishops to show "greater sobriety and rigor" in accepting requests to begin inquiries into a prospective saint's life.
Initial investigations into the life of a proposed saint take place in the diocese where he or she died. The local bishop must begin the inquiry and oversee the first phase, which produces a dossier of evidence to be sent to Rome.
The dossier is then examined by Vatican officials, who decide whether the candidate merits official recognition. If found meritorious, candidates are then declared "Servant of God," and their writings are examined to determine if they are in keeping with Church teaching. If this is true, then they are proclaimed "Venerable". Following this investigation, a verified miracle and further examination of their life is required, after which they can be beatified, and given the title "Blessed". Beatification is the last step before canonization, in which the candidate is proclaimed a saint and model for the whole Church.
Cardinal Saraiva Martins said the new document would "respond better to the new spirit introduced by Benedict XVI." Pope Benedict XVI has emphasized a clear line between beatification and canonization. Unlike Pope John Paul II, who also presided over beatifications, Pope Benedict only officiates at canonization ceremonies and delegates beatifications to cardinals.
The new restrictions are expected to diminish the number of candidates proposed to the Vatican for recognition.
Some critics accused Pope John Paul II's pontificate of recognizing too many saints, saying the quantity helped devalue canonizations.
Cardinal Martins rejected the notion that the Church became a "saint factory" under Pope John Paul II. He said those who claimed this understood "nothing about saints."
Last December, Pope Benedict said saints help make the Church's message "more credible and attractive," and that the legacy of the saints "purifies and elevates the mind."
Vatican tightens standards for sainthood
.- The Vatican will advise bishops around the world this next week to be more rigorous in their selection of the candidates they propose for sainthood, ANSA reports.

Last month, ratings agency Standard & Poor's downgraded the outlook on U.S. Treasuries from "stable" to "negative." What does this mean? For the U.S., it's not good news. Although the country has maintained its 'AAA' credit rating, the outlook downgrade indicates that the ratings agency is dubious of the U.S. government's ability to meet its debt obligations. A full downgrade, should it occur, would mean a lower credit rating for the U.S. and would result in increased borrowing costs for the government. But as the news surrounding federal government debt intensifies, just how bad is this outlook downgrade and what does it mean for the U.S. economy? Here we examine the downgrade and what it might mean for the economy. (Learn more about how rating agencies assess the quality of debt in Why Bad Bonds Get Good Ratings.)
TUTORIAL: Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) Investing
Why the Downgrade? Why Now?
Was this downgrade a political tactic to get bipartisan agreement to move forward with a plan to control the deficit? Was it a shot at the U.S. government - perhaps one meant to show that S&P has the power to move markets and influence political decision-making, or at least speed things up? Or was it a show of power to convince the U.S. government that it should not prosecute S&P, which has often been cited as a contributor to the economic debacle?
According to the S&P statement, the main reason for the downgrade in the outlook was because of political gridlock over the plan on how to get the deficit under control. If S&P intended on lighting a fire to get politicians to move forward on this issue, the plan seems to have worked. According to S&P, the political differences on any viable plan are very wide and they do not see any progress toward a possible solution. But Moody's, one of the other two rating agencies, opined that the progress of the debates are evidence that things are moving in the right direction.
What Does It Mean?
The downgrade officially means that there is a small chance that the U.S. government's debt rating will be downgraded from 'AAA' at some point in the next six months to two years. Keep in mind that a downgrade does not necessarily mean the U.S. will default, but it will increase the cost of borrowing for the U.S. government, and make borrowing costs higher for consumers and businesses across the country. That said, there is technically a possibility of a government default on July 8 if the debt ceiling is not raised. In this light, the outlook downgrade may not go far enough.
As a result, the outlook downgrade is puzzling. After all, the S&P also gave 'AAA' ratings to mortgage-backed securities until those securities all but vanished. It would have been nice if they had given investors an outlook downgrade on three months before they blew up. At least some investors would have been able to get out. (For background reading, see What Happened To The MBS Market?)
In a quote for a CNBC.com article titled "S&P's Negative Call Stems from Crisis That Some Say it Caused," Barry Ritholz of Big Picture Blog blasted the S&P, saying, "If ever there was an organization more corrupt, incompetent, and less capable of issuing an intelligent analysis on debt than S&P, I am unaware of them!"
Stephen Weiss of Short Hills Capital was also quoted, saying, "I truly find it beyond comprehension that their opinion can move markets when they have done nothing to earn that power. Their most important role is that of insurance policies for portfolio managers who do not have the capability or desire to do their own analysis." (Credit rating agencies have a long history in this country. Learn about what they do and how were they developed. See A Brief History Of Credit Rating Agencies.)
The Market Reaction
While a rating downgrade will cause borrowing rates to increase, the 10-Year Treasury note actually rose on the news. Clearly, some investors still have confidence in U.S. debt.
Overall, S&P's outlook downgrade is both confusing and frustrating. And what does the market think? So far, the impact on the market's demand for Treasuries has been negligible. Yawn ... did S&P say something?

KNP Scientific Services
Rivers Research Programme
The Kruger National Park Rivers Research Programme (KNPRRP) was a highly succesfull multi-disciplinary, multi-organisational programme aimed at addressing major concerns about water quantity and quality of perennial rivers flowing through the KNP.
A key feature of Kruger Park is that it suffers biodiversity threats in and alongside the Park's rivers because of upstream activities in the catchments - all the major rivers arise on the escarpment and flow through several landuse types in the lowveld before the water even reaches the park boundary. The programme ran for the last decade of the 1990's, went through three phases (a startup, a research consolidation phase, and a more practical implementation-orientated phase) and was widely acclaimed for:
- having raised awareness of the importance of, and very vulnerable condition of rivers, in biodiversity conservation in South Africa and elsewhere
- having contributed very significantly to the knowledge levels around river issues especially in ecosystem and biodiversity context
- having exploited, and partly brought about, major changes in co-operative governance concerning rivers in South Africa. Researchers involved in the programme took the opportunity offered by an era of major policy change in South Africa, to contribute to the very progressive new Water Act with its enshrined environmental reserve concept
- having interacted with Kruger Park management in a way which greatly influenced paradigms of ecosystem function and subsequently led to many changes in thinking even around terrestrial ecosystem management. This story is sufficiently enticing that the Ecosystems, Protected Areas and People (EPP) Programme of IUCN will be showcasing Kruger's river story as an important lesson to be shared internationally. (see EPP...)
- having indirectly spawned further research programmes, notably the River/Savanna Boundaries Programme (which has its own website, as per Angela and Murray, give link) and the Post-Flood Programme which arose after the catastrophic floods in 2000 (Mellisa). Both programmes built on the strong base provided by the KNPRRP.

OTTAWA -- There has been an arrest in the murder of a former Ottawa businessman found dead in a suitcase in Panama in 2013.
Ed Moynan's family hired a private investigator to help get to the bottom of it all.
Moynan, 68, disappeared Nov. 8, 2012, in the beachfront community of Coronado, Panama, where he and his wife, Louise, moved a little more than three years ago.
She was back in Ottawa, visiting family, when he went missing.
Their beach home was discovered ransacked. Moynan's glasses were found broken.
His remains weren't found until March 2013 in a suitcase in Campana National Park, about 40 km away.
According to journalist Jamuna Burry of the news website playacommunity.com, Ludwig Vico Pereira, a 56-year-old Swiss national, was arrested Aug. 8.
Burry said the arrest was made by undercover police in the parking lot of the Coronado Mall. She said the investigation was a collaborative effort by the police and Carlos Sanad Espino -- a lawyer hired by the Moynan family.
Pereira was listed on Interpol's website among its wanted persons -- specifically as "wanted by the judicial authorities of Panama."
"He used to live here," said Burry. "It's believed he moved. Some people know him. He keeps to himself. I'm not sure why it took so long to arrest someone. The belief is they were building a case."

"You only pay for the occupied flight hours."
This is how the large fractional and jet card programs sell their programs. They claim that you don't pay for the repositioning costs. While you don't pay for them directly, you certainly pay for them.
Our system is very similar to what the large jet card and fractional providers use. The difference is that that they double or even triple the occupied aircraft cost to make up for the repositioning costs that they incur. For typical business trips that end up at the same airport as it originates, jet cards are very inefficient. Jet charter prices from Peachtree Aviation will prove to be more economical.
On it's website, Marquis Jet lists a cost of $115,900 for 25 hours on a Hawker 400XP. This amount represents the base price for 25 occupied hours, before applicable taxes, fees and charges are assessed. For the sake of this argument, we'll leave out all the taxes and fees that you are certain to incur. This results in an occupied rate of $4,636 per hour charged by Marquis.
We recently completed a trip for a client departing Morristown, NJ for a meeting in Nashville, TN on a Lear 31, an aircraft comparable to the Hawker 400XP. They returned the same day after completing the meeting. Total occupied time on the aircraft was four hours. Our cost to the client, including all taxes and fees, was $9,402. If they had used Marquis Jet, the trip would have cost them $18,544(before taxes and fees), nearly double what they paid us!
All-Inclusive Pricing
Jet Charter Prices from Peachtree Aviation are firm prices. No fuel surcharge, no miscellaneous costs, no random fees. The price you see is the price you pay. Catering, de-ice charges, additional flight time due to weather or ATC, and internet charges are possible items that may be billed after the flight since they are impossible to forecast.
Using Peachtree Aviation to arrange your private jet charter, you have the flexibility of using the most efficient aircraft for the mission, every time. Working with a nationwide network of air charter providers, we will make sure that whatever travel needs you may have are met. Our negotiated rates with operators allow us to consistently provide you with the best private jet charter rates around. Jet Charter prices available through Peachtree Aviation offer more flexibility than a jet card or other membership program by allowing you to select the best airplane for each individual trip. We will tailor a solution to offer the most comfort along with delivering superior value when compared with other services.

This is first iteration of camera controller layout inspired by Fernando Radi's project. I designed a PCB containing Arduino Pro Mini, USB Host Mini, as well as other small parts necessary to complete the circuit. The whole thing is about the size of 16×2 LCD display and 1 inch high.
Next picture shows the controller with LCD removed. LCD connector is at the top left. Two resistors below the connector set the screen contrast. Slide switch next to LCD connector turns backlight on/off while power switch sits at the top right. USB Host Mini and Arduino Pro Mini are mounted underneath the LCD; encoder and "Back" button are placed to the right of LCD.
Project files include Eagle schematic and board layout, as well as a pdf of bottom side of PCB ready to be used in toner transfer process. EOSCamController code can be run on this board with no modifications. Some encoders have their A,B outputs swapped so if you see screen navigation moving backwards, swap encoder outputs. If you want to build this controller, refer to Eagle board layout file for part and jumper placement.
In the next iteration of the layout, I'm planning to move power switch to the left closer to backlight switch and use right-angle encoder and "Back" button. I will also try to find space for a LiPo charger. Stay tuned and please leave a comment if you have better layout in mind!

Battling to trace grandfather who served in WW1
I REALISE this a very long shot, but I'm battling to trace my family history.
I've discovered that my grandfather, Henry Alexander Marks, was living in Prospect Street in Belfast when he claimed his War and Victory Medals in 1918.
His Regiment was The Royal Artillery and he was discharged with the rank of RSM, possibly also for medical reasons in November 1918.
I think he died in Ireland in 1953.
I am hoping that you may be able to give me a lead as to where I can look for further information. What would have been the earliest census year for instance?
I've tried the Northern Ireland records several times, without getting a reply of any sort, for a death certificate.
My main problem is not having known him, and present family knowledge is nil. I'm now the eldest. Anyone with details, please contact me at:

Mother's Day and Mythology
For many children, Mother's Day is a myth. It is a fantasy; an idea or illusion a child wistfully carries in their mind, but never truly experienced. The population of these children who are older, are the ones who linger by the Hallmark cards for long periods of time: reading and replacing; reading and replacing. They finally settle for some benign message that ultimately says "Have a Nice Day", but nothing more. Continue reading
Compliant Children of Divorce: Unwanted Lessons Learned
Children of divorce probably watch their parents lead by example more closely than the general population of children. Why? Because they simply do not know what to do, what to say, or how to feel.

Welcome to Uganda Martyrs Catholic Community (UMCC) Website.
This Community meets every last Sunday of the month to celebrate Holy Mass in St. Gabriel's Church, 15 St. John's Villas, Archway, N19 3EE, off Holloway Road.These days are known as our Community Days.
Our motto is "In Faith We Grow", as we walk in the footsteps of our patrons, the 22 Uganda Holy Catholic Martyrs. As we seek for their intercession, we look up to them as a source of inspiration and guidance. Our patronal feast occurs on 3rd June every year, but we celebrate the occasion as close as possible to that date in June.
The Uganda Martyrs Catholic Community was founded around 1993. Since then the Community has grown in numbers and engaged in Catholic functions in the United Kingdom.
The Mission of the Community is to offer Ugandan Catholics living in the UK and the Republic of Ireland an opportunity to pray together in our indigenous languages, to socialise and help each other in finding solutions to challenges and problems affecting us.
The Community aims at promoting faith, family and friendship/fellowship through our celebrations.Holy Mass is well attended and is the main activity. The UMCC aims to enhance the "home-away-from-home" aspect through our social get-together. This helps us to strengthen our spiritual, emotional and social bonds.
Guest speakers from different walks of life deliver presentations aimed to inform and/or educate members on various aspects of life in the Diaspora.
The Community is also running a campaign among youth to inculcate religious/spiritual and cultural values as a way to address the street, gang and crime culture.
O God, by whose providence the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church: Grant that we who remember before thee the blessed martyrs of Uganda, may, like them, be steadfast in our faith in Jesus Christ, to whom they gave obedience even unto death, and by their sacrifice brought forth a plentiful harvest; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end, Amen.

If you didn't know anything about The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford (and, let's be honest, most people haven't), you might be drawn in by its title. A western about the life and death of famed outlaw Jesse James would certainly be intriguing to audiences. And when they find out that world class A-list star Brad Pitt is playing the titular James, and up-and-comer Casey Affleck, fresh off of his career defining performance in Gone Baby Gone, is playing his killer, certainly they would take a second look. And when they heard that the supporting cast featured such talents as Mary Louise Parker, Zooey Deschanel, and Sam Rockwell, it would virtually guarantee seats in theaters. So why was the film virtually buried by Warner Bros?
Writer/Director Andrew Dominik (Chopper) did not make a rollicking western yarn, as the above elements might suggest. Instead, he composed a deep, contemplative character study that eschewed most of the genre elements that bring people to westerns in the first place. Brad Pitt plays Jesse James, the notorious outlaw. He and his brother, Frank (Sam Shepard), have taken to hiring vagabonds and young kids as the regulars in their gang dropped out, died, or were taken by the law. In the late 1880's, Jesse and Frank go on a job with Charley Ford (Sam Rockwell), and his younger brother, Robert (Casey Affleck). Robert has had an infatuation with the James brothers since he was small, and to see his idols up close is a real thrill. Frank dislikes the boy from the start, but Jesse seems tickled by Robert's adoration. However, the love soon turns to envy and hate, and Robert begins to resent Jesse and his fame, and aims to do something about it.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is an anti-western. It contains almost none of the hallmarks of the genre, instead choosing to focus on plumbing the depths of its main characters. Dominik has a talent for giving the smallest details great significance, tracking the subtle changes in tone and mood. The film has an unearthly feel to it, like all the events are happening in the realm of legend. This effect is aided by the monotone narration, which, instead of distancing the audience from the material, draws them in with its understated approach to the unfolding events.
Casey Affleck, who recently wowed audience with his forceful performance in Gone Baby Gone, proves that he has the chops in him to go toe to toe with his elders. His portrayal as Robert Ford is a fascinating world of contradictions. He clearly idolizes Jesse James, but the reality of the man is far different from the stories he would read by his bedside as a child. His affection for James is less focused on the man, and more on his fame. It's clear throughout the picture that Ford considers himself a great man, and will do anything to attain the attention of the public. Affleck plays these emotions barely beneath the surface. So often you can see the hint of contempt or nervousness flit across his face. It's an impressive bit of acting.
Brad Pitt also offers a sober reflection of Jesse James. While James' didn't share Pitt's rugged good looks, the real evocation of the character is in his dangerously charismatic persona. Pitt has always veered towards darker roles, and Jesse James is no exception. In Pitt's hands, James is a leader of men, but unable to control his own moods. He's manic depressive and keenly perceptive. He's often referred to as a man who knows everything that is going on, but in fact he is very good at putting small facts together. Pitt makes James a constant surprise. Neither the characters nor the audience know what he's going to do next.
The film is slow and meditative, but it's also sumptuous and gorgeous. Cinematographer Roger Deakins was nominated for an Oscar for his beautiful shots, and the wheat fields blowing in the breeze or the steam rushing off a stopped train engine only add to the ghostly feel for which Dominik was aiming. And while the film runs 160 minutes, it never feels that long. Yes, it's slow. But it creates its own rhythm that feels appropriate to the material. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford demands that the audience come to it on its terms, not theirs. But for those willing to take the plunge, they'll find a fascinating take on one of America's most famous (and infamous) sons.

Incorporating socio-environmental considerations into project assessment models using multi-criteria analysis: A case study of Sri Lankan hydropower projects
Before commissioning any energy projects, conducting robust assessments of different options in terms of their economic and socio-environmental impacts is important for successful project implementation. Yet, there is currently a lack of tools that simultaneously assess sustainability impacts; instead, they are often investigated separately, which gives decision makers somehow disintegrated information. Thus the main objective of this study is to examine how to incorporate socio-environmental considerations into project assessment models. The multi-criteria analysis is applied to the case study of Sri Lankan hydropower projects as an illustrative example. The estimated quantitative relationship between economic, environmental and social impacts of hydropower development is presented in this study. Such estimation, using sustainability indicators of hydropower projects, enables us to understand marginal trade-offs among economic, environmental and social objectives of hydropower development. Hence, this would provide an overview of potential impacts of different scenarios that are designed to be implemented and indicate an optimum mix of hydropower generation.

Photographer's Note
Dobrun monastery
A monk and a support worker preparing frames for extraction of honey.
Dobrun monastery, also known under the name Kruevo, is located in the vivid mountainous area on the road from Belgrade to Uice, 12 km away from Viegrad in the valley of Rzav river. It is dedicated to the Holly Mary and was erected by upan Pribil and his sons Stefan and Petar in 1343. In 1383. as a monk Jovan builds a very rich annex painted with marvelous frescoes. Already in 1393 when Turks got through in Bosnia for the first time, the monastery was ruined. It was reconstructed by despot Stefan Lazarević and princess Milica. On the crossing of the 18 and 19 century the monastery got abandoned.
There are no reliable data regarding the establishment and the history of the monastery. It is known that it was the center of Metropolitan for a while. In its history the monastery was destroyed and reconstructed many times. The worst destruction took place during the Second World War, when Germans used it as a weapons warehouse, and set it to explode during their withdrawal in 1945. The monastery was reconstructed in 1946.
The monastery was painted with many frescoes. The most known frescoes preserved until present day are those of Tsar Duan with his wife Jelena and son Uro, as well as the fresco of the monastery founder zupan Pribil along with his sons and son in law Stan. In the rocks above the monastery there is a cave whose entrance area was closed with stone blocks. The monks lived there and would descend down to the monastery only during the big religious holidays. The monastery is still active these days. Within the complex of monastery there is a Museum of the First Serbian Upraise, The paintings gallery and a Museum of Dabro Bosnian Diocese of the Metropolitan.

Zdravo Aleksandar. Za mene vrlo interesantna slika jer moj otac i ja drzimo pcele i vadimo med. Sto me zanima je protekcija za lice. Nasa nema "vizor", taj plasticni stit, tako da prezadnji put ubola me pcela ravno na vrh nosa kroz finu, cvrstu mrizu kad sam sa sagnuo da izgulim divlju travu okolo kutije. Kao kamakazi- ravno na punat kontakta. Natekao mi i nos i usna i tesko mi je bilo dihati kroz nos. Pametniji je taj design iz Srbije.Poslim sto sam pisao gdje sy cele nestale, drago mi je viditi ovu sliku. Pozdrav. Klaudijo.

'From the Armoy side, Joey Dunlop's brother Jim, Paul Robinson, son of Mervyn, Frank Kennedy's brother Bill, and Hugh and James O'Kane are interviewed.
'There are also contributions from William Dunlop, Guy Martin, Conor Cummins, John McGuinness, Steve Parrish and many more, including veteran Scottish rider Denis Gallagher.
'Joey, Ray and Rivals features many unpublished pictures from family albums and photographers who were close to the groups. Also included is footage of racing in the 1960s and 1970s which has never been seen on DVD before.
'Plus, there is a unique interview with McCullough recorded in 1979 in which he predicts Joey's first win at the North West 200.
'The 'little bit of road racing history' refers to a short history of racing in Ulster from the 1920s to the 1960s with amazing, previously unseen film of the Carrowdore 100, the Ulster Grand Prix , the North West 200, the Cookstown 100 and the Temple 100.
'There are also new songs about McCullough and Reid written specially for the programme by Mike Kerry and Throttle the Men, plus a concluding song by Joe Reid.
'In addition, film maker Alwyn James explains how nearly 40 years ago he managed to achieve comprehensive race coverage, including filming from cameras mounted on the bikes. Director and Editor Anna Masefield said:
'"This is a story about the friendly rivalry between two very talented teams of riders who gave the sport some very memorable moments in the history of the great sport of motorcycle racing."
'Producer Colin James added: "I am delighted that so many top photographers have provided new material to illustrate this programme so the fans will see unique photographs which have been buried in an album since they were first taken."
'"If you were there, relive those glory days, and if you are young, see what made racing so unique and exciting at that time."
'Waldovision and Duke have also confirmed a donation from each sale will go to the Dromara Fund for a tribute garden to remember the Destroyers.
