Maryland has lost $21 million to the 50 individuals and corporations who owe the most in unpaid taxes, the comptroller's office announced Thursday.
Comptroller Peter Franchot publishes the list of 50 scofflaws -- referred to as the "Caught in the Web" list -- every six months to shame the delinquents into paying up, said spokeswoman Caron Brace. The office has collected more than $26.5 million since the program started in 2000.
"You need to comply or we're going to mark you with a scarlet letter," Brace said.

|Rex & Marian Frost, Phoenix, Md.
|$1.3 million

|Earl Jenkins, Potomac

|Joseph Blacker, Ellicott City
|Jonathan & Mary Ginn, Easton, Md.
|Nyles Smith, Capitol Heights
|Sylvester Ngong, Laurel
|Julie Martin, Baltimore

The 25 individuals on the most recent list owe nearly $5.8 million in back taxes, penalties and interest, while the 25 businesses owe more than $15 million.
However, the list does not include individuals or businesses that have been on the delinquent list in the past, even if they haven't fully paid their debt to the state, said Brace, who did not know how much money the state is missing overall.
Topping the list of businesses are OS Assets and OS Capital, two Tampa, Fla.-based branches of a holding company, that owe a total $7.8 million to Maryland. A representative from the company could not be reached, and Brace could not reveal more information.
The individuals owing the most are Phoenix, Md., residents Rex and Marian Frost, who owe $1.3 million. Rex Frost declined to comment without advice from his attorney.
Maryland residents aren't the only ones neglecting to pay up. Virginia alone is missing $1.9 billion in unpaid taxes, $1.8 billion of which is past due, said Virginia Department of Taxation spokesman Joel Davison. Of the total, $1.2 billion is owed by individuals, while businesses owe $686,000.
However, Virginia removed its online list of scofflaws earlier this year, said Davison, who didn't know why the list was removed.
In the District of Columbia, residents and businesses owe $240 million after accounting for bankruptcies, contested cases and the statute of limitations, said Natalie Wilson, spokeswoman for the D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue.
Topping the District's list of delinquent taxpayers -- updated "periodically," according to Wilson -- is Barry Morewitz of Friendship Heights, who owes $17.9 million and whose house was seized by D.C. officials last month. Morewitz could not be reached for comment.

In both D.C. and Maryland, those who haven't paid are warned before their names are publicly scrutinized, said Wilson and Brace.
However, some on the list were surprised to learn that they owed any money.
Alexandria resident Stephen Lynn called his $289,000 Maryland debt "unreal." His Fort Washington dental practice went through two bankruptcy proceedings years ago, and he said he now lives off disability and Social Security payments.
But Lynn is the exception.
"What we want people to do is communicate with our office," Brace said. "We understand there are tough economic times."

iPhone fingerprint scanner gives mobile payments a push
If you have been waiting for your smartphone to take the place of credit cards, debit cards and PIN codes at the cash register, take heart.The fingerprint reader on the new iPhone 5S announced this week brings the mobile wallet a step closer, experts said.
"My gut is, this is a great first step," said Madeline Aufseeser, senior analyst with the Aite Group. "It's a great way for them to authenticate access to the phone device itself, which will eventually aid access to the (digital) wallet."
The idea of a mobile wallet is to let you pay for things by waving your phone at checkout counters and vending machines. Apps connected to the device could help track your budget, manage your rewards points, and pick the best card to use for a given transaction. Of course, it's important to verify that the right person is using the phone.
According to experts on mobile payments technology, the Touch ID function on the iPhone 5S is a breakthrough for making transactions on your phone more secure. Scanning your fingerprint is both easier and more secure than typing a PIN or password. But there is still a lot of ground to cover before phones become widely used as payment devices.Apple announced that its new iPhone will -- come in different colors! After the excitement died down, word of the device's fingerprint technology started to get around. A sensor built into the home button scans your digit using faint variations in electronic impulses -- not a photographic image. The fingerprint information is stored in a secure area on the phone's chip, the company said.
Setting up Touch ID is voluntary. Once set up, it can be used to unlock the phone, and to support purchases on iTunes. Apple says the fingerprint isn't sent to the cloud, and it isn't shared with apps from third parties -- such as banks and credit cards.
However, mobile banking apps wouldn't need the fingerprint itself to verify your transactions. All they need is a thumbs-up message from the phone saying that the device is in the right hands.
"Apple can hand off a seal of approval on the consumer without giving the actual fingerprint data," said Rick Oglesby, senior analyst at Aite Group. So at the least, text messages used to confirm bank transactions would gain a layer of security, when your phone knows who is pushing its buttons.
Mobile payment technology will be built into next year's iPhone model, analysts expect. Meanwhile, Android-based phones are also reportedly working on fingerprint identification and payment systems.
Some limited-use payment systems in use today provide a glimpse of the future. If you use the Square Wallet app, for example, you can pay for your latte at Starbucks by scanning your phone at the register.
Apple, meanwhile, is working on technology that would let your phone talk to the cash register while it is still in your pocket. Oglesby said that in-store communication architecture built into the new iPhone's software is actually a bigger advance for payments than the fingerprint sensor.
Google, Verizon, PayPal and others are looking for major roles in mobile transactions, in addition to Apple. Before smartphone payments go mainstream, a standard for the technology will need to emerge from the mix. Then, retailers will have to decide if it is worth investing in the new equipment.
Having a one-button fingerprint ID could streamline those transactions, "if you get high enough reliability," Oglesby said, "and it's not thrown off by darkness or other conditions."

the total do not need to be 100% beacause the maximum is 100% already!
some factor may induce a 100% of total example
i am cruising speed at 100km/h
so i have a 5% load with throttle maybe 15% on the trimm potentiometer
the rest still at zero
then im am flooring it ( tps ramp up with a filling 25% plus the accelerometer 45% boost comming un to the 15%
the rest still at zero even with all other factor comming up i dont care i need it to be at 100% at this moment
and for the digital input read i need to be minus %ages
that is a pretty good solution for my problem
i need something like that beacause the trimm potentiometer sould be a master solded at 100%
and coul be considered as a master trimm and all the other input could be aswell considered as secondary input
!!!!! i very interested by your solution
as i need to consider all input '' not equal to 100% '' could this solution can be used ???
beacause if i do an average i could not assign a +value to each input more than the average total ....
it could be a problem .....!!

Why Do Christians Worship on Sunday?
from Daniel Hyde Sep 15, 2014 Category: ArticlesFrom creation onward, the people of God worshiped on the seventh day of the week. This was a "creation ordinance" that the Creator Himself established by His example, with the intent that His creatures would follow it. He worked six days and called His image-bearers to work (Gen. 2:15); He rested on the seventh day (Gen. 2:2; Ex. 20:11; 31:17) and called His image-bearers to rest. He signified this with His benediction, setting apart the seventh day as "holy" (Gen. 2:3). Keep Reading

The beloved disciple John tells us of the last gift that Jesus gave to all of us before He surrendered His life for the redemption of the world. That gift was His Mother: When Jesus saw his mother* and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son."Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. (John 19:26,27) From the earliest centuries of the Church this gift of a mother has been reflected upon in some of the most beautiful writings in the Christian tradition.

CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic online) - After celebrating Holy Mass on World Family Day, October 27, 2013,Pope Francis prayed before an image of the Holy Family of Nazareth. He commended all Christian families to the Holy Family and asked for an outpouring of God's grace:
Let us pray the Angelus together. With this prayer, we invoke the maternal protection of Mary for families throughout the world, and especially for those who live in situations of great difficulty. Mary, Queen of the Family, pray for us!
Mary is the mother of every domestic church, of every Christian family. She fully understands the naturally supernatural realities of family life because she lived them. In fact, she shows us the way to make the ordinary extraordinary by her witness of surrendered love.
She shows us how to embrace our daily lives in a way which allows them to become the means of grace and a path to deepening conversion. She can also obtain for us, through her intercession, the graces we need to be made holy in our vocation.
The beloved disciple John tells us of the last gift that Jesus gave to all of us before He surrendered His life for the redemption of the world. That gift was His Mother: When Jesus saw his mother* and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son."Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. (John 19:26,27)
From the earliest centuries of the Church this gift of a mother has been reflected upon in some of the most beautiful writings in the Christian tradition. Jesus gave us His Mother. The Church is fundamentally relational, a family.
Through Baptism we live our lives in the Lord by living in His Body, the Church, of which we are members. Through the Church, Jesus continues his redemptive mission. For most of us, much of our life is lived within the smallest cell of the Body of Christ, the domestic church of the Christian family.
The Catholic Catechism tells us: Since the Virgin Mary's role in the mystery of Christ and the Spirit has been treated; it is fitting now to consider her place in the mystery of the Church. "The Virgin Mary is acknowledged and honored as being truly the Mother of God and of the redeemer. She is 'clearly the mother of the members of Christ' since she has by her charity joined in bringing about the birth of believers in the Church, who are members of its head." "Mary, Mother of Christ, Mother of the Church." (CCC #963)
It is in this sense which we can say that Mary is also the mother of the domestic church. She was - and is - a real mother. Understanding this is truly important if we hope to respond to the universal call to holiness. It is in our ordinary lives that we encounter the Lord and it is there where we grow into His Image. We never really leave the Church. We leave the building where the Liturgy is offered, but we live in the heart of the Church for the sake of the world.
I woke up in Church this morning. Not on a cold dark floor or surrounded by votive candles and stained glass, but next to my partner in faith, my best friend, my beloved wife of 37 years, Laurine. We have five grown children and six grandchildren. Some of them are spread around the Nation - but they are all, always in our heart.
Through our Baptism, our natural bond was supernaturally elevated by grace. Jesus said "Wherever two or three are gathered in my Name, there I am in their midst." (Matt. 18:20) The place where this kind of gathering occurs the most is in the hearth of the home, in the first vital cell of the Church, the Christian family.
From antiquity the Christian Family has been called the domestic church. This is more than piety; it is meant to become reality, by grace. Perhaps the most often quoted use of the term is from the "Golden Mouth", the Bishop John Chrysostom, writing in Antioch (the city where they were first called Christians) in the fourth century. After all, the church is fundamentally a relational reality.
Also, Christian Marriage is a Sacrament. In other words, it is a participation in - and sign of - the very inner life of the Trinity! As the Apostle Peter wrote to the early Christians, we are now "partakers of the divine nature." (2 Peter 1) Yet, do we view Christian marriage and family life in this way?
Even the most sincere Christians can still live out their Christian life with a certain dualism. They see themselves as living in the world and going to Church. Family life sometimes gets included in the world or perhaps it is seen as a part of a "duty in the Lord" which often "competes" with the Christian mission.
Please understand, as a Catholic Christian, I love to frequent beautiful Church buildings and to participate in the beauty of liturgical worship. However, the point I am trying to make is a vital one. We actually live in Church. We were baptized into the Lord and we now live in His Body.
The Christian family IS a church, the smallest and most vital cell of that Body. The extended church community is a family of families. This understanding is more than piety--it is sound ecclesiology, solid anthropology, in fact it is reality for those who are baptized into Christ Jesus.
With the eyes of living faith, my wife Laurine and I learned to see the deeper purpose over years of raising our children, with all of its joy, sacrifice and struggle. Over those years of raising children and now these years of trying to help raise grandchildren we have begun to comprehend the mystery of Christian marriage and family life.
An almost liturgical sameness emerges after years of living Christian family life. It is a source of holiness when it is freely embraced. It has the capacity to sanctify even the plain, human repetition. It can all become transformative when lived out in Jesus Christ.
It is where the rubber hits the road for most Christians. It is there that the universal call to holiness, in all its real, earthy ordinariness, is lived out and sanctifies. There we are forged into the Image of Jesus Christ, as we empty ourselves in love for the other - and join that emptying to the emptying of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 2)
There in the family, progress in the spiritual life finds its raw material for so many of the faithful. The question for Christians who are called to marriage and family is whether they choose to live it as a vocation. Through grace we are able to develop the eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to accept the hidden invitations to love. They are there, beneath the surface of the daily stuff of Christian Marriage and Family life.
Mary is the mother of every domestic church, of every Christian family. She fully understands the naturally supernatural realities of family life because she lived them. In fact, she shows us the way to make the ordinary extraordinary, by offering it all to Jesus Christ.
Mary shows us how to embrace our daily lives in a way which allows them to become a means of grace and a path toward our continuing conversion in jesus Christ. She also obtains for us, through her intercession, some of the graces we need. She is the Mother of the Domestic Church and the Queen of the Family.

I got this tattoo idea from a quote by Pittacus Lore. The full quote is "When you have lost hope you have lost everything. But when all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope" This quote has come to mean a lot to me, because it helps me remember to never give up on the things I want, and to keep striving for my dreams. I had the artist incorporate a subtle infinite sign as well. It was done at Tattoo Planet, in Arizona, by Joey Luck. This was my first tattoo, I felt really comfortable with him and it helped me out a lot. Overall I'm completely happy with my first tattoo experience and my tattoo.

Feeling the air not moist.
Maybe one day you will see

and re-think your role
Warmth of the animal covered on your skin
money and diamonds just thrown in the bin.
Your immortality reigns and reigns

A San Francisco video game company is hoping to tap into a new legion of 49er fans.
1849, a new simulation game from developer SomaSim, tasks players with building and managing cities in 20 California counties during the Gold Rush. Released today, the game can be played on PCs, Macs and both Android and Apple tablets.
The setup is simple: Players are given a patch of land and limited resources. Its up to them to create and maintain mines, roads, houses, farms, stores and services that will potentially grow into one of Californias cities.
Successful communities require workers, and workers need equipment, food, clothing and yes, even liquor, which can be acquired by buying, selling and trading goods. In addition, players take on certain tasks at different levels, such as establishing wineries in St. Helena and selling pallets of wine to San Francisco.
Geographic-specific history serves as the games backdrop but doesnt overwhelm 1849, said SomaSim co-founder Matt Viglione.
Since its a simulation game where you build things from scratch, it isnt about one city so much as it is about a context and a location, he said in a recent phone interview.
So while players wont hear mention of John Sutter or James W. Marshall, they will get the chance to make Sacramento a roaring hub of gold trade, and in one case, help keep the city from perpetually flooding.
Californias population explosion and the up-from-nothing nature of Gold Rush cities sparked the idea for the game, Viglione said.
Thats ... what happened during the Gold Rush, he said. Three hundred thousand-plus people showed up in six years and built most of the towns in Northern California from nothing.
Viglione and Rob Zubek, who previously worked games such as CityVille and FarmVille 2, wanted to make a city-building simulation game when they co-founded SomaSim in April 2013, but struggled to find a thematic focus.
During a trip around Northern California, they realized that they were surrounded by cities that fit the have nothing, grow into everything construct perfect for simulation games, Viglione said.
From there, they visited other Gold Rush towns, researched period architecture and poured over The Shirley Letters, a collection of missives that detailed daily life and conditions of mining camps.
While sharing similarities with recent resource-management games such as FarmVille, 1849 is perhaps more closely aligned with titles such as Sim City, Civilization and Caesar III, which saw their heyday in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Were really trying to hit people who are essentially like my generation, who played these kind of games in college and in high school, who were at their peak of game playing when these games were at their peak of popularity, and who have fond memories of them like we do, Viglione said.
That doesnt mean that the game is only for experienced sim geeks. With tutorials that explain the necessary tools and actions to start and grow a city, the game is accessible to anyone interested in playing.
Also, we think that because its on tablets, we hope that it will hit a demographic that didnt grow up with these kind of games, Viglione said.
Early responses from beta testers and video-game journalists have proved positive, hinting that the hunger for old-school simulation games hasnt yet died out. Were hopeful that this is the start of something, a renaissance of simulation games, Viglione said.
Some of the games most fervent interest has come from Europe, he said, adding that the Germans and the French seem to have a strange affinity with the American West.
1849 can be purchased for desktops and laptops through www.gog.com, IndieGameStand.com and through the digital distribution service Steam for $15. The tablet version, which is functionally similar but does not contain the desktop versions sandbox mode, can be downloaded through Google Play and the Apple App Store for around $5.
The game is rated appropriate for children 12 and older and features infrequent/mild alcohol, tobacco or drug use or references; infrequent/mild cartoon or fantasy violence, according to the Apple App Store.

Stay Far Away From This Retailer
Marie is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Despite RadioShack's (NYSE: RSH) many problems, some investors still believe in the struggling retailer. In "RadioShack's Turnaround Plan Has a Glimmer of Hope," Motley Fool analyst Blake Bos cautiously explained why RadioShack could possibly turnaround. Then last week, an article appeared in the Wall Street Journal that also offered thoughts on a possible reversal for the cash-bleeding company.
Call me a pessimist, but RadioShack isn't going anywhere except bankruptcy. Here's why:
Dot-com shopping
It's no secret that online competition played a principal role in RadioShack's fall. Since 2004, e-commerce has been growing, especially in electronics.
Source: US Census Bureau
As you would imagine, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is a major beneficiary of the trend. In 2012, Amazon's electronics sales increased 34.5% to $38.62 billion from $28.71 billion the year before. Compare that to RadioShack's sales decrease of 3.5% to just $4.3 billion in the same year.
As far as net income is concerned, RadioShack lost $139 million in 2012. Amazon also posted a loss on the year of $63 million, but that was expected due to Amazon's investments in the Kindle and infrastructure. In quarter two of this year, Amazon posted another loss of $7 million, or $0.02 per share despite strong revenue growth of 22%.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said that losses are to be expected because Amazon is investing in the future, which Bezos sees as tablets and digital content through Amazon Prime. Bezos knows what he's doing, and apparently, so do investors: Amazon's stock increased by 20% so far this year despite the losses.
While Amazon is looking to the future, RadioShack is still trying to make sense of the present. How can RadioShack compete with the incredible selection and affordability of Amazon? I don't think it can. Online shopping is making many stores irrelevant, and RadioShack was hit particularly hard. Consumers turned to the web, and RadioShack watched them go.
Often, customers "rent" HDMI cables and other essentials from RadioShack before returning them once the same product is ordered for $2 on Amazon. The only reason consumers would need to enter a store is if they wanted to test a product or see it in action. But if that is the case, why go to RadioShack when you could go to the firm's larger competitors?
Bigger and better
When it comes to brick-and-mortar competition, RadioShack's arch-nemesis is Best Buy (NYSE: BBY). While Best Buy hasn't exactly been hitting home runs recently, the world's largest electronics chain managed to stay afloat amid the growing online shopping trends. Best Buy's larger inventory and consumer-friendly stores pushed RadioShack even further behind.
Best Buy's 2012 revenues of almost $50 billion dwarfed RadioShack's $4.3 billion. In the first quarter of 2013, though both companies took a loss, Best Buy's loss represented only 0.86% of revenue for the quarter, while RadioShack's loss represented 5.1% of quarterly revenue. Both stores are losing money, but Best Buy has a much larger cushion on which to land. Moreover, Best Buy has much greater capital at its disposal to fight back to profitability.
In an effort to improve the buying experience at his company, RadioShack CEO Joseph Magnacca is remodeling 10% of stores in the US. The new format will be more open, and will feature enticing touch-screen displays (sounds like Best Buy Jr. to me). According to Magnacca, RadioShack is "sending a message that we are not your grandfather's RadioShack."
Unfortunately, I don't think it will matter what kind of message RadioShack is sending. Even Best Buy is hurting, and if the most successful brick-and-mortar electronics retailers are having trouble, smaller firms like RadioShack don't stand a chance.
If not tablets and smartphones…
Then what? RadioShack suffered in part because it tried to change with the market; i.e. sell more smartphones and tablets. However, this plan backfired because RadioShack couldn't sell enough of the gadgets to make up for the lower margins that the devices carry. So where does that leave the firm? Tablets and smartphones represent the hottest electronics in the industry, so opting out of the market isn't a viable option.
Traditionally, RadioShack made its living selling cables and slightly more unusual electronic gear. But in today's market, that model isn't sustainable. Tablets and smartphones are growing faster than any other segment of electronics (tablet and smartphone shipments are expected to grow by 174% and 109% respectively by 2017), so retailers wanting to remain relevant must find a way to sell these popular devices.
Bottom line
My bearishness on RadioShack can be summarized by this line from a WSJ article: "There just isn't a compelling reason for people to shop at RadioShack."
Exactly. RadioShack's stores are small, its product mix is mediocre, and competition from both online and physical retailers is too strong. There are simply too many better options available to consumers, and RadioShack giving 10% of its stores a facelift isn't going to fix that problem.
I admire Magnacca's effort, but he's fighting a losing battle. And eventually, bankruptcy will rear its ugly head.
The retail space is in the midst of the biggest paradigm shift since mail order took off at the turn of last century.

During my training and postdoctoral placement I consistently sought out experiences that involved working in multi-disciplinary environments – with physicians, psychiatrists, epidemic disease experts, nutritionists and other professionals. I found that it was through these types of collaborations that we were able to maximize the all-around level of care received by our mutual patients.
Since then, I have maintained an ongoing board-level involvement with professional organizations in the field of psychology. I have also completed advanced training in psychotherapy. At the same time, I have continued my collaborative work with physicians in the Philadelphia area. For example, when indicated, and with your permission, I will seek out active dialogue with your other medical providers.
I have been invited to lecture on psychological topics to physicians and residents in primary care and training settings, including the Chestnut Hill Family Practice Residency Program, and the Jefferson University Hospital Pain Clinic.
While much of my collaborative work is with traditional medical care practitioners, I believe in research-supported CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine) treatments. While I only use those CAM techniques that complement psychotherapy, i.e. relaxation and breathing exercises, and guided imagery; I refer to other specialists, including acupuncturists, and chiropractors, those patients who are interested in such options.

Yea, ladies and gentlement, Harry is correct. There are no moree communists. The world is a safer place. There are no more people who desperately trying to rob citizens of their personal freedoms. There are no more nation states who want to see the demise of the U.S. Let's wake up communism is dead. The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, The Peoples Republic of China, Cuba and Russia are completely free democracies now. And please, just because the duly elected lives, breathes, smells, sounds, look and pass policies straight out of the Socialist Manifesto does not mean that that's what they are. They pose no threat to us whatsoever.

A plane crashed Sunday when it was helping fight the White Draw fire in Edgemont, South Dakota. The airmen and the plane were from the North Carolina Air National Guard based out of Charlotte, North Carolina.
The Air National Guard is not releasing the exact location of the crash, but we do know the plane went down near Edgemont.
We have confirmed at least one person died, others have been seriously hurt.
We do know the plane was flying just 150 feet in the air. The Century Link building in downtown Sioux Falls is a 174 feet tall so the plane was flying just a little lower than what the Century Link building stands. It wasn't far off the ground.
The C-130 plane was spraying fire retardant on the wildfire. The fire retardant keeps the fire from advancing.
Six people were on the plane when it went down. The North Carolina Air National Guard held a press conference Monday. We don't know if weather was a factor in this crash but there was a thunderstorm that moved through the Edgemont area Sunday night. During that press conference, officials say it's challenging flying over a wildfire because you're dealing with smoke and different temperatures but the men and women are trained.
"These crews are very confident. They enjoy this mission, it's a very important mission and they take it and train very seriously, they train very hard," Lt. Colonel Robert Carver said.
We don't know what caused this plane to go down Sunday. We should know more in the next few weeks or months.
Tuesday, we should learn about the survivors of this crash.

Example Human Rights Essay
This essay will discuss three assertions: (i) that international law was not intended to deal with rights of individuals; (ii) that international law is not equipped to deal with rights of individuals; (iii) that individual rights should be the concern of domestic legal systems only.
We will deal with eachof these in turn, with reference to international legal instruments andbodies. We will observe first of all how the rights of individuals, althoughfalling outside the province of international law as it was conceived in the1600s, began to seep into the framework of international legal rules over thecenturies, eventually coming to prominence during the 'human rights era' thatfollowed the end of the Second World War. We will consider secondly the variousmechanisms that have been put in place by the international community in orderto deal with the enforcement and observance of individual rights enshrined ininternational legal instruments. Lastly, we will critically assess the claimthat questions about individual rights should be the sole concern of domesticlegal systems.
Thescholars who laid the intellectual foundations of international law in theWestern world, like Hugo Grotius (1625) and John Locke (1690), all stressed intheir writings that legal systems, be they domestic or international, werefounded in natural law and commonly accepted standards of (Christian)morality. It may seem surprising, therefore, that for centuries the rights ofindividuals played no significant role in the framework of international law.International law, as the name suggests, was the body of legal rules governingthe relations between states - 'the law of nations'. Nation states, and notindividuals, were the 'subjects' of international law. The behaviour of astate towards individuals within its own territorial boundaries was governed byits domestic legal system. Any interference by one state in the internalaffairs of another, for whatever reason, was viewed as a violation of statesovereignty, and as a threat to stability in international relations.
Itdid not take long for international law to begin to concern itself with thewelfare of individual human beings. However, when this did start to occur itwas not because human compassion and religious morality had risen to the forein international relations; it was motivated rather by the reciprocal politicaland economic interests of states. An early concern of nation states was themanner in which their diplomats and other nationals were treated when residingand conducting their business in the territory of another state, as noted byLouis Henkin (1989):
Ofcourse, every State was legitimately concerned with what happened to itsdiplomats, to its diplomatic mission and to its property in the territory ofanother State. States were concerned, and developed norms to assure, thattheir nationals (and the property of their nationals) in the territory ofanother State be treated reasonably, 'fairly', and the system and the law earlyidentified an international standard of justice by which a State must abide inits treatment of foreign nationals.
Once such norms were agreed between two states, it was nolonger possible for either of them to assert that the treatment of individualswithin its borders was a matter exclusively to be dealt with by its domesticlegal system, a point that was stressed in an Advisory Opinion on NationalityDecrees Issued in Tunis and Morocco (1923) of the Permanent Court ofInternational Justice (the forerunner to the International Court of Justice).However, although the rights of individuals were thus 'internationalised' to alimited extent, the international agreements in question did not permit statesto take action against any state that was deemed to be violating the rights ofits own nationals. The position under international law in this respect beganto change with the developing doctrine of humanitarian intervention.
First expounded by Hugo Grotius (1625), the doctrine ofhumanitarian intervention allowed for limited exceptions to the rule thatstates were prohibited from interfering with the internal affairs of otherstates for the benefit of individuals within those other states. This could bedone to stop the maltreatment by a state of its own nationals 'when thatconduct was so brutal and large-scale as to shock the conscience of thecommunity of nations' (Stowell 1921). The doctrine has been much abusedthroughout history, and is often invoked as a pretext for the invasion oroccupation of weaker countries. However, it shows that states were becomingconcerned with the welfare of individuals even when this was not directlylinked to political and economic interests to be derived at the state level.
As we moved into the nineteenth century, a new wave ofconcern for human welfare sparked changes within the international system.European and American states abolished slavery and the slave trade, andinternational agreements were put in place to govern the conduct of war betweenstates in such a way as to minimise cruelty and brutality in internationalconflicts. The Hague Regulations (1899) sought to codify principles ofcustomary international law that had developed over time in relation to landwarfare, making provisions to outlaw certain weapons that had provedparticularly destructive to individuals on the battlefield and civilians, andto protect the welfare of prisoners of war.
This could not stop the catastrophe that was to unfold inthe course of the First World War, which claimed more lives than any conflictin the history of humankind. In the aftermath of the War, the Covenant of theLeague of Nations (1920) came into force. This established the League andserved as its constitution. Although it contained no express provisionsdealing with human rights, it marked a substantial step forward in terms ofinternational law recognising the rights of individuals, in three importantrespects. Firstly it recognised the rights of individuals living in thecolonial territories of the states that were defeated in the War, transformingthese territories into League Mandates, and stating in article 22 that 'theprinciple that the well-being and development of [the native] peoples form asacred trust of civilization.' Secondly, article 23 of the Covenant stressedthe need for 'fair and human conditions of labour for men, women andchildren.' This was to pave the way for the creation of the InternationalLabour Organisation under the Treaty of Versailles (1919). Many scholars,including Leary (1981) have stressed the importance of the ILO in improving theworking conditions for millions around the globe, and in turn making asignificant contribution to the development of international human rights law.Finally, the League of Nations established a system for dealing with theprotection of minority groups within certain states. A series of specialtreaties were concluded for the protection of ethnic, linguistic and religiousminorities in several countries in central and eastern Europe (Hannum 1990).These treaties were supported by a relatively sophisticated (and successful)system of enforcement, whereby a committee accepted petitions concerningallegations that minority rights had been violated, with the possibility of thePermanent Court of International Justice rendering an Advisory Opinion on thelegal merits (Stone 1934). International law showed itself to be more thanequipped to deal with the rights of individuals belonging to minority groupsduring a short period between the two World Wars. This success was to proveshort-lived.
The events of the Second World War, and in particular thesystematic extermination of over six million European Jews by Hitler's NaziGermany, were to shock the world's conscience. The notion of human rights,never before made explicit under international law, was to find its way intothe Charter of the United Nations (1945), which was ratified after the War bymost members of the international community. Although the rights accorded toindividuals under the Charter were not as extensive as some had hoped (Robinson1946), it nevertheless began its Preamble with the words 'We the peoples' ofthe United Nations - human beings, as well as nation states, had now becomesubjects of international law. Article 1(3) of the UN Charter states that oneof the purposes of the UN is:
Toachieve international co-operation in solving problems of an economic, social,cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respectfor human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as torace, sex, language, or religion.
Article 55(c) also stresses the need for the UN topromote 'universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamentalfreedoms for all.' The UN Charter was followed in 1948 by the UniversalDeclaration of Human Rights, which draws on documents like the FrenchDeclaration of the Rights of Man and the American Declaration of Independence(Eide 1992). This instrument, which has proved a driving force in the humanrights movement, proclaims in article 1 that 'all human beings are born freeand equal in dignity and rights.' The Universal Declaration on Human Rightswas followed in 1966 by the International Covenant on Civil and PoliticalRights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and CulturalRights (ICESCR). These Covenants create binding legal obligations for thestates that have ratified them. Henkin (1977) emphasises that these states aretherefore no longer free to claim that the rights contained in the Covenantsfall exclusively within their domestic jurisdiction. International law hascome a long way since the days of Grotius; there can be no doubt thatindividual rights are firmly enshrined within its framework.
If individual rights are plainly part of today'sinternational system, the next question that falls to be considered is whetherinternational law is 'equipped' to deal with individual rights. We observedearlier how the League of Nations put in place a system of enforcement and observancefor the minorities regime that existed during the inter-war years, overseenultimately by the Permanent Court of International Justice. Various othermechanisms exist within the international system, and they have enjoyed varyingdegrees of success.
One of the most successful human rights enforcementmechanisms is the Human Rights Committee established under the ICCPR. TheCommittee exists to ensure that states that have ratified the ICCPR comply withthe obligations they have assumed under it. State parties are required underarticle 40(1) 'to submit reports on the measures they have adopted which giveeffect to the rights recognised [in the Covenant] and in the progress made inthe enjoyment of those rights.' Under the First Protocol to the ICCPR, theCommittee will also accept petitions from individuals alleging that theirrights under the Covenant have been violated by a state that has ratified theProtocol. The Committee has developed an extensive body of jurisprudence,which serves as a valuable tool in helping with the interpretation of therights under the Covenant (McGoldrick 1994).
Regional human rights systems have also shown that it ispossible to enforce the observance of individual rights in an arena other thanthe domestic legal system of a nation state. The European Court of HumanRights hears applications from individuals in member states of the Council ofEurope concerning alleged violations of the European Convention on Human Rights(1950), a document that draws heavily from the Universal Declaration of HumanRights. Since the passing of the Human Rights Act (1998) into UK law, theEnglish courts are obliged to follow rulings of the European Court of HumanRights, which presents us with an interesting example of the interplay betweendomestic and international law in relation to the rights of individuals. Otherregional bodies include the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and theAfrican Commission for Human Rights. Although less prolific and powerful thantheir European counterpart, these bodies have demonstrated that it is possibleto enforce individual rights under international law.
Many who argue that international law is not 'equipped'to deal with individual rights point to the so-called 'non-justiciability' ofeconomic, social and cultural rights, as well as third generation peoples'rights. They aim to show in other words that, by their very nature, suchrights are not capable of being determined judicially, unlike the sort of rightsthat arise ordinarily within domestic legal systems. In the context of civiland political rights, the argument goes, the individual holds a clearly definedright against the state, the violation of which can be tested in a court oflaw. However, it is said that 'economic and social rights are not suitable forjudicial consideration because of the wide range of issues that have to betaken into account and the uncertainty surrounding effective means of achievingthe ends in question.' While Article 2(1) of the ICCPR states: 'Each Party tothe present Covenant undertakes to respect and to ensure to all individualswithin its territory and subject to its jurisdiction the rights recognized inthe present Covenant, without distinction of any kind,' Article 2(1) of theICESCR states: 'Each State Party to the present Covenant undertakes to takesteps to the maximum of its available resources, with a view to achievingprogressively the full realization of the rights recognized in the presentCovenant by all appropriate means, including particularly the adoption oflegislative measures.'
However, the Committee that oversees the ICESCR hasrefuted the 'non-justiciability' argument. In its General Comment No. 3(1990), the Committee insists that Article 2 of the Covenant imposes concretelegal obligations, requiring states to realise minimum standards relating toeach of the rights, utilising available resources in an effective manner. Itfollows therefore that although economic and social rights under internationallaw may be different to the sort of rights that are normally found within adomestic legal system, that is not to say that they are not capable ofenforcement. Methods of enforcement do need to become more effective, butseveral international bodies have shown that they are equipped to perform thisrole, often with very positive results.
We finish by dealing with the assertion that questionsabout individual rights should be the concern of domestic legal systems only.We can safely dismiss this assertion as ill founded with the help of anunlikely source: Hermann Goering, during the Nuremberg trials that took placein the wake of the Second World War, exclaimed: 'But that was our right! Wewere a sovereign state and that was strictly our business.' Germany'ssovereignty, in Goering's view, shielded individuals involved in the atrocitiesof the Holocaust from accountability.
When domestic legal systems (like that in Nazi Germany)fail to prevent the murder and ill treatment of prisoners of war, murder andill-treatment of the civilian population and a policy of slave labour andpersecution and murder of Jews, it is right that the international communityshould step in to protect the rights of the individuals concerned. There canbe no doubt that the international system is often ill-equipped to deal withatrocities that occur within state borders; the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 is acase in point. However, that is not to say that we should not keep striving toperfect the systems that do exist under international law. It may not havebeen conceived to deal with such issues, but international law has evolved intoa corpus of rules with huge potential as a mechanism for the enforcement andprotection of individual rights. Nation states would be wise to build on thispotential rather than ignore it.

My daughter Callie is a student at Covenant College. Last week she wrote a paper on a person in ministry who deals with a disability. Callie chose me. My disability is depression and anxiety. She sent me three questions to answer.
1) How does your faith change the way you interact with your depression?
I believe that dependency on Christ is the essence of Christian faith. In other words, Christians are in a trusting union with Christ and, apart from this union, they can't do anything to help themselves or anyone else. But, just because I believe this intellectually does not mean that I yield to it easily. I suffer with depression and anxiety. Depression is a weird sort of disability. It's the kind of thing that has crippled me in an invisible way. Others aren't able to see it. For years I wanted to believe that I was OK. That I could build enough emotional 'muscle' to overcome depression. I tried to use Christ improperly to build this muscle. Maybe if I prayed enough or read the Bible enough or worked enough or toughened myself enough or performed enough – the depression would go away. It didn't. It has taken me a long time to understand that Christ planned to 'cripple me' with depression in order to humble me and love me. And like a Christian man with two paralyzed legs has to grow accustomed to loving Christ from a wheel chair, I am having to grow accustomed to loving Christ from the constrictions of medication and an adjusted lifestyle. I used to feel that Christ would help me conquer depression once and for all. This would work for a little while. But when depression would cripple me I would feel abandoned by Christ. Now I am learning that Christ is using depression to conquer my self-sufficiency, my pride, and my shame.
2) How does your depression negatively affect your ministry?
I can't do everything that I want to do. I can't trust the 'manic' side of my personality that makes me feel like I'm superman and that I can save the world. Heck, I can't even save me. No, that job belongs entirely to Christ. I have to adjust my schedule. I have to work differently. I can't skip taking my medication and imagine that I am 'healed' just because I 'feel' better today. I have to realize everyday that I am a pastor who is crippled and I need to embrace that. I have to tell people 'no' in order to be healthy. That doesn't always feel good to others who cannot easily see my 'invisible' disability. I have to make time to slow down and retreat. All this is very difficult, yet it is very crucial to my life and ministry.
3) How does your depression positively affect your ministry?
Christ uses my depression to teach me dependency. As I lean into him and am often even carried by him, I am learning to pray more and listen to the voice of my Savior.
Christ also uses depression to defeat my pride. I have many gifts and this often produces a lot of pride in me. Depression attacks my pride and mocks my gifted-ness in a way that helps me see that my gifts can't be trusted; that my gifts are often my greatest enemy if they are not placed in the hands of Christ.
Christ uses depression to defeat my shame. I am often so embarrassed to admit to people that I have depression. I don't want them to know that I am emotionally weak. Yet Christ is not satisfied to have me hide it. He calls me to humbly share my weaknesses with others. Christ helps me to embrace weakness in myself in way that helps me to also embrace the weakness in others. This has made me a person of prayer, a better counselor, and a more honest preacher. I am able to more honestly point people to the Cross instead of subtly pointing them to myself.
Finally, Christ uses depression to make me a better worshiper. Christ is my rescuer and my deliverer. The Cross is my food and the Resurrection is my life. As I worship God, Christ leads me to the lap of His Father. He comforts me in the arms of the Holy Spirit. He reveals my sin and wretchedness. He reveals his mercy, power, and beauty. He reminds me that I am a fragile clay pot, but I rest in His tender hands.
A couple of years ago, when my depression was at it's worst, I went to meet with a Christian counselor. In our session together he asked me, "Tim, how long do you plan to stay in ministry?" I said, "I don't really know. As long as I'm able I suppose. Maybe until I'm 70 years old." The counselor chuckled, "The way you're living, driving yourself, acting like a superman – I'll be surprised if you make it another six months. Tim, listen to me. You are but flesh. You have weaknesses. Frailties. You have to embrace that reality."
Those were powerful words. The reality is "I am but flesh." I'm a man who suffers with depression. I always have been. I always will be. Christ has chosen not to take depression away. Instead, he has chosen, in his mercy, to meet me in the midst of my anxiety and depression and to walk me through it. He does this by waking me up in the morning. Greeting me in his Word and in my prayers. And then he gently reminds me – "Tim, go get dressed. Take your medication. Remember you are but flesh. And don't worry, I am with you."

A little about me...
What do you say about yourself in this small space that took a lifetime to acquire?
Let's see, my friends would say that I'm easy going, humorous, honest, caring and a little shy.
I'm aware of my many blessings and where they came from, as well as my disappointments and losses.
I am young at heart and physically active. I enjoy dining out, SEC sports (especially football and basketball), tailgating with friends, a good movie, cooking on the grill, a quiet evening at home snuggling on the couch in front of a fire or a night out on the town.
I have traveled to some wonderful places and would like to do so again.
It's time to move on, after being widowed in 2009, I am ready to move to the next page of my life.
I am looking for my new best friend. She would be attractive, active, fun loving with a sense of humor, spontaneous, romantic and passionate.
About the one I'm looking for...
I'm looking for that special person. Someone to share my life with and that will be my best friend.
I'd just like to add...
Send me a message.

DNA Genetics 60 Day Wonder Autoflowering Feminized Marijuana Seeds

|Flowering period:
|60 days from germination

DNA Genetics 60 Day Wonder Autoflowering Feminized seeds are a super fast automatic cannabis strain from DNA Genetics.
By crossing Williams Wonder, a heavy cropping, potent Indica, with a stable Ruderalis strain, DNA Genetics have produced one of the fastest autoflowering strains around. DNA Genetics 60 Day Wonder Autoflowering weed is very similar to the Williams Wonder, it just finishes in under 9 weeks from germination to maturity. Of course, this means that the crop per plant is slightly smaller, but if you squeeze them in to a SOG set up you can achieve excellent yields.
Autoflowering cannabis strains can be useful for urban or stealth grows. Their short size and rapid turnover mean fewer chances of your crop being discovered. Another advantage in the grow room is that there is no need for separate veg and flowering areas. Put DNA Genetics 60 Day Wonder Autoflowering Feminized weed on a 20/4 light cycle throughout the entire grow. Different plants at different stages can be grown together in the same room.
DNA Genetics 60 Day Wonder Autoflowering Feminized seeds create a smoke like any decent Indica, her strong, lethargic stone is great for relaxing after a hard day.
Why buy DNA Genetics 60 Day Wonder Autoflowering Feminized seeds here?
Since 1999 we have dealt with over 30 international seed banks and we only trust these guys. Both trusted partners offer excellent prices on fresh brand name seeds, great support and will deliver discreetly worldwide. There are a lot of 'bad seeds' online so trust in our decade of experience and you will not be disappointed.

Arnold Schwarzenegger
To survive childhood with an abusive alcoholic father and a brother who was clearly favored and often pitted against him, Arnold Schwarzenegger escaped into action movies and plotted his move to America. He beefed up through bodybuilding, won an unprecedented five Mr. Universe and six Mr. Olympia titles, immigrated in 1968 and propelled himself and the sport into the mainstream with the 1977 documentary "Pumping Iron." The Austrian Oak's ascension to the top of the box office in the '80s and '90s was just as impressive with blockbusters like the "Conan" and "Terminator" franchises, "Twins," "Predator." "The Running Man," "True Lies." Off-screen, his American dream continued as he married into the Kennedy clan when he took Maria Shriver hand in 1986, had four children (Katherine, Christina, Patrick and Christopher) with her and became the governor of California in 2003. The Republican governator won his reelection bid in 2006 although the second term ran far less smoothly. A few months after leaving office in 2011, he and Shriver separated after he admitted to fathering son Joseph with their maid. He confirmed in his 2012 memoir "Total Recall" that he'd also cheated with his "Red Sonja" costar Brigitte Nielsen while living with Shriver in the '80s. "The Expendables," a film filled with other old leading men who can still kick your butt, provided him a clever and successful reentry into showbusiness. He is set to reprise Conan in 2014 and do a fifth "Terminator."
