France's WW1 Plan XVII
The Germans had assumed that France would mount a defensive position if attacked and would not be able to mount an offensive campaign. They were wrong. The French Plan XVII called for the French to attack. Attack!
Bismarck and Napoleon III
France's Defeat in the Franco-Prussian War
France had suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Germany in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. The terms of the Treaty of Versailles (this one ratified at Frankfurt and not to be confused with the treaty of the same name that ended WW1) even included a parade by German forces down the Champs Elysées in Paris. This sad march took place with nobody watching…how could any French citizen watch this humiliating spectacle?
The Battle of Sedan had gone particularly badly for the French, with 17,000 men killed and more than 20,000 captured, including their leader Napoleon III. So beaten was the French psyche over losing Alsace and Lorraine under the Treaty that ended the war, that there existed a phrase attributed to Leon Gambetta, a member of the provisional government formed after Sedan:
"Y penser toujours, n'en parler jamais" or "Think of it always, never speak of it."
The French needed a plan if they were going to get Alsace and Lorraine back and defend themselves against possible future threats from the German Empire.
General Foch in 1916
Evolution of the Plan
The first plan for war drafted by the French was Plan XIV in 1898. This one had a definite defensive character, much of that due to the realities of the new French border with Germany. Now that Alsace and Lorraine were in German hands, the German front in any war was already closer to the heart of France than it would have been in the past. France's mountainous regions in the southeast meant that area was not conducive to launch an offensive attack from.
One evolution of the plan included the proposed use of French reservists to bolster the regular forces, and also mirrored the German Schlieffen Plan's thinking about the easiest route for a decisive German victory being through Belgium. The man who was Commander in Chief (designate) of France's forces at that time believed that the only way to counter a German offensive through Belgium was to significantly increase the number of men ready to meet them. He was forced out of office for even suggesting the use of the reserves. The corps of Officers in the French Army considered the reservists only fit for rear-duty, not for combat.
There was even some thinking on the part of the French at one point in the Plan's evolution that they should attack Germany through Belgium. The various Prime Minister's who heard this idea quickly shot it down...they would not risk their alliance with Britain by violating Belgium's neutrality.
The real problem was that the French were tired of being in a defensive position. Since the end of the Franco-Prussian war, they had grown in their determination to settle the score and win back Alsace and Lorraine. They believed that the "élan vital" or "vital spirit" of the French forces would compel them forward in battle and lead them to victory. And nobody believed this more passionately than General Ferdinand Foch, who was instrumental in changing the Plan from being a defensive one to an offensive one.
But it would take far more than a will to win to defeat the superior and larger German forces.
Plan XVII showing the Five French Armies stretched from Hirson on the French-Belgian border to Belfort in Alsace
Joseph "Papa" Joffre
Plan XVII is Born
In April 1913, the finishing touches were put on the new Plan XVII by General Joseph Jacques Césaire Joffre, France's new Commander in Chief, and presented to the War Council. The Plan was adopted right away, and the next few months saw the French forces reorganized into five separate armies based on the troop deployment called for in the Plan.
Joffre and his Deputy Chief believed that the German attack would come through Lorraine, with the far right wing of the German forces brushing only a corner of Belgium. They could not fathom Germany having enough men to sweep through the whole of Belgium – even though the French had been handed an early draft of Germany's Schlieffen Plan clearly showing this option. Neither did they believe the Germans would use reserves to increase the size of the army, as the Kaiser was known to be against this. And of course, violating Belgium's neutrality would draw the British into the fight. Would Germany dare risk a war with Britain?
The Plan had its detractors, some of them very vocal. They insisted that the Germans would come through Belgium in an attempt to encircle the French. And French Intelligence units had collected compelling evidence that the Germans were already calling up large numbers of reserves to participate in military exercises. But Joffre and the War Council were not swayed. They would not see France return to forever being on the defensive. They would attack the Germans head on in Lorraine.
All of the conjecture and speculation on both sides was about to be tested.
Schlieffen Plan and Plan XVII (Plan XVII starts at 2:40)
WW1 Timeline
July 28th, 1914 - Austria declares war on Serbia.
August 1st, 1914 - Germany declares war on Russia. Russia defies Germany's warning to halt mobilization of its troops, replying that the mobilization is only against Austria.
On August 1st, France enters the fray when it orders its army to mobilize to come to the aid of its ally Russia.
August 3rd, 1914 - France declares war on Germany and Germany declares war on France.
Britain delivers an ultimatum to Germany to get out of Belgium by midnight.
August 4th, 1914 – Germany's invasion of Belgium causes Britain to formally declare war on Germany.
Failure of Plan XVII
The Germans correctly assumed that the French would attack through Alsace and Lorraine, and they were waiting. The French troops were easily outmanned and outgunned by the stronger and larger German forces. The Germans had made extensive use of reservists to increase the size of their fighting army.
The French suffered heavy losses, and within a few weeks, they were right back where they started. The Germans got very close to Paris during this push - only 30 kilometers away! But the Germans were experiencing problems of their own. Getting supplies to an army that was so geographically dispersed was proving to be more than Schlieffen's Plan had anticipated.
Joffre was able to regroup his forces and, with the help of the British who had joined the fight by this time, push the Germans back. Assisted by the British Expeditionary Forces (BEF), the French were finally able to mount a successful offensive attack at the first Battle of Marne. The Race to the Sea had begun.

German was not only power hungry, but foolish in the belief that they could not be overpowered. It was certainly long overdue.
I don't like wars, in fact, I hate the idea of wars, but I know it's a fact of life. This is an excellent history lesson. We need to understand the past to hopefully, secure the future, but we seem to be making the same old mistakes over and over again as Russia looks poised to invade Ukraine and the sound of rockets reaps through Gazza . Great writing!
I always find the history of the world wars interesting, and this was very well written with good use of media.
This is an excellent article, Kaili. You obviously have done your research and your writing is top-notch. Plan XVII, to me, boiled down to unimaginative old men who's strategy boiled down to throwing young men straight at the enemy. Their "fighting spirit" would allow them to shake off foreign bits of metal being violently inserted into their bodies and overrun the enemy to take the war deep into Germany. There's a reason the military didn't execute men for "stupidity in time of war". Even the writer of Plan IX From Outer Space had a better idea.
Once again this was an interesting, captivating, and extremely well written history lesson. I am reviving my knowledge of WWI through these articles. Great hub!
So very well-written. This reminds me of Bruce Catton's series on the Civil War, and that is a high compliment.

The unease of Brexit's approaching deadline has forced finance firms to spread operations across the European Union in order to meet clients' demands, with many fearing the loss of access to operations and markets in EU countries.
Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Bank of America announced its merger on Monday between its London-based subsidiary Bank of America Merril Lynch International and Irish equivalent in Dublin.
"We are pleased to have worked closely and constructively with our regulators to complete this critical component of our Brexit preparations exactly on schedule and well ahead of the earliest possible date of the UK's exit from the EU," Bank of America Merrill Lynch Europe chair Anne Finucane said in a statement.
"I am delighted that as part of our preparations, we have built a world-class, Dublin-centric BAMLI DAC team, combining both local and international talent," Bruce Thompson, BAMLI DAC chief executive added.
Bank of America will also move nearly 125 jobs to Ireland from the UK and has been ongoing between July and December this year, according to Reuters. It also plans to move more positions to France, Ireland, Germany and others in the second transitional phase of the firm's Brexit contingencies.
Dublin is fast becoming a competitor to mainland European finance centres such as Frankfurt and Paris as businesses leave London, with Bank of America becoming the first US bank to do so. Bank of America has created a list of documents on its webpage outlining the progress of Brexit transitions.

Ireland's central bank is processing over 100 applications from firms fleeing Brexit and regularly updates its FAQ on queries related to the UK's withdrawal from the European Union.
Bank of America currently employs more than 800 people in Dublin and will operate branches in Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Frankfurt, Madrid, Zurich, Paris, and Milan, it said on Monday.

Since the 2010 Honda CRF250 received a complete overhaul (along with great feedback I might add), the only thing left to do for 2011 was a little fine tuning. So even with the rain threatening all of So Cal the other day, none of us could resist from taking a little trip down to Perris Raceway to ride the 2011 CRF250 and critique the new changes - Yes I know, rain doesn't sound like a big deal, but come on, it's Southern California, we don't ride in the rain - Well don't worry, it wasn't too hard on us, the skies held back and we ended up with just a slight drizzle all morning. It may have been hell for the photographer's, but man if it wasn't perfect for riding. The ground was moist, the turns were loaded, and we had the track all to ourselves.
I would have to say one of the biggest changes for the 2011 CRF250 would be the 94db Exhaust system. It may not sound like much (pun intended!), but Honda isn't one for just bolting on a muffler, so this change resulted in a lot of other changes. First off, to make up for the quieter muffler, the CRF250R received different mapping and also changed the rear sprocket from a 48 tooth to a 49. This resulted in better throttle response and a much improved bottom to mid range power. How does this help us? Well, the 2011 CRF is a lot snappier than the 2010, and it's now able to pull higher gears at a lower RPM. This makes for a great bite in the lower gears, or if you want that smooth delivery, than shift up a gear for controlled roll-on power. We were all surprised with the roll-on torque of this machine because it is not common on 250Fs, especially for the larger riders. Honda has definitely figured this one out. So the little Red engine improved over 2010 with better response, better torque and a much more expressive motor, all while dropping the sound down to 94db. The funny thing about the 94db muffler is that it doesn't sound a lot quieter, but it gave the bike even more of a deep throaty growl compared to last year's model - Not bad at all in my book. And to show Hondas attention to detail, the subframe, side panels and rear fender were also changed to accept the new muffler. Well, maybe not only to accept the new muffler, because now, most of the CRF250 parts are compatible with the CRF450. That makes the subframe, all the plastics, gas tank, and of course most of the already matching hardware interchangeable.As for the handling, well the CRF250 has always worked amazing. It's light, nimble, easy to throw around, while still being very controlled and stable. It doesn't take much time for the majority of riders to feel right at home on this machine. So for 2011, Honda decided to give us even more of that feeling. They started off with a larger piston in their Honda Progressive Steering Damper - Going from 20mm to 24mm on the damper piston givving the new CRF improved tracking traits over last year. We didn't have any complaints, so she must be doing her job.
Next, Honda improved on a very touchy component - suspension. It's hard to put together a complete suspension package that will impress everyone from first time rider to Pro. Actually, I believe it's down right impossible, but it doesn't keep them from trying and it's a good thing, because they are getting closer and closer. The new CRF250 front forks have been revalved for more hold up and better bottoming resistance - This was without a doubt tested on some sharp faces and hard landings at the jumpy Perris Raceway - And the CRF did not disappoint, we were impressed with how well the forks soaked up the hard hits without delivering a harsh impact to the rider. The rear shock was also revalved to match the forks. This kept the bike balanced and tracking straight. Honda spent some time on their new setup because we didn't even have to mess with the clickers. As a matter of fact, all Kris Keefer and I had to do was change the sag for our weight differences and we were set. He didn't have any problems with harshness and I had no issues with bottoming, even at my weight. Unfortunately, the track didn't get very rough so we didn't get a chance to see how she handles in the chop, but no complaints here, it just gives me another excuse to take her out to the track before our 250 shootout.
The 2011 Honda CRF250 gets an A+ in my book. Honda lowered the noise level while improving the power over last year - the suspension suits a wider range of riders - The already excellent handling saw some improvement with Honda's larger steering damper - And now, even more parts are compatible with the CRF big brother. We can't wait to get this bike out on some other tracks and put her up against the other brands.

Spirit Vine Ayahuasca Retreat Center
Listed in Ayahuasca, Integration, Spotlight
+55 (73) 99988-5785
Spirit Vine, Itacare, BA, Brazil
I have wanted to try Ayahuasca for a while.
Differently from most people I did not go there to heal some particular problems, my intention was to strengthen the bond with my higher self and explore the realms beyond the physical.
The Spirit Vine is a magnificent place to visit. Gorgeous grounds, meticulous gardens and very comfortable bungalow.
I lived in a bungalow by myself, enjoying the hammock in the terrace, reading books, writing in my journal and sunbathing.
The breakfast was utterly delicious, especially after yoga sessions and followed by a very professional massage. Even without the Aya ceremonies it would still have been time spent great!
The beaches nearby are phenomenal, easily the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen! And the ubiquitous coconuts on each corner is a nice touch.
I would strongly advise to opt for the 4 ceremonies retreat, as each ceremony is different and provides insights, realisations and healing with each subsequent session being more beneficial for those who learn to navigate the realm that Aya takes you to. In fact one person from our group stayed to live there and to teach the world what Ayahuasca has taught him!
I loved it there and I am looking forward to coming back for more. The Spirit Vine combines the exotic nature of rainforest, the mystique of Aya and comfort level that will leave few wanting more.
A big thanks to Silvia and Michael for making this experience so wonderful!
Tomas, Lithuania

Child's Play
Woke up at 3am and was thinking about my art quilts. It occurred to me that the way I work now is very much like the way I played as a child with paper dolls and those plastic cling shapes that you could make scenes with. I feel so fortunate that even though obligations often interfere, I am still able to play/work at what I love doing.

The Crown Prince's International Scholarship Program (CPISP) will begin accepting applications next week for its 2017 scholarships from qualifying students who have Bahraini citizenship, are enrolled in the 11th grade or equivalent and set to graduate from secondary school in 2017, and have a Grade Point average of 97% or above for Grade 10 (two semesters) and Grade 11 (first semester).
CPISP Director Dr. Cynthia Gessling affirmed the submission period for 2017 scholarships is from 6 – 24 March 2016. Qualifying applicants must fill out the application form available on the CPISP website www.cpisp.bh and submit it to the Court of the Crown Prince in Riffa with the following required attachments: official school transcripts in English for Grade 10 and first semester of Grade 11, a reference letter from a secondary school teacher or principal, copies of passport and CPR/smart card, and a recent passport picture. For students studying outside of Bahrain, application forms and required attachments can be sent by email to firstname.lastname@example.com before the deadline of 24 March 2016.
Dr. Gessling explained that after receiving the applications, the Program will arrange for students who meet the application criteria to take a set of qualifying tests to assess their English proficiency and critical reasoning abilities. A minimum of 60 student candidates will then be selected based on their GPAs and results of the qualifying tests, to take part in candidacy training courses and workshops organized by the Program over the summer and beginning of the next academic year. They will include about 40 students from governmental schools, and 20 students from private schools.
The final ten scholarship recipients will then be announced in March next year, based on their Grade Point Average, and scores of their IELTS and SATs in math, writing, and critical reading, as well as their scores in select courses completed during their candidacy training. The recipients will include 5 young men and 5 young women from both private and governmental secondary schools.

Neurons - Building Blocks of the Nervous System. A neuron is a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the nervous system.
Neurons are similar to other cells in the human body in a number of ways, but there is one key difference between neurons and other cells. Neurons are specialized to transmit information throughout the body. These highly specialized nerve cells are responsible for communicating information in both chemical and electrical forms.

The iron ore slice of the $1 trillion Afghanistan resource pie
A public-private Indian consortium, AFISCO, 16% of which is owned by a single Indian family, will soon begin operations at what is to be the world's second largest iron ore mine in Hajigak, Bamyan Province, Afghanistan.
The consortium won the concession from Hamid Karzai's government in 2011.
Afghanistan government sources claim that the iron ore reserves amount to roughly 1.2 billion tonnes. The original bid also proposed erection of a 6.2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) Afghan steel plant, 800MW power plant and "over 200 kms of rail, road and transmission line network for the mine and steel project."
According to US and Afghan estimates, the country is sitting on mineral deposits worth roughly $1 trillion.
In addition to iron ore, major deposits include copper, gold, uranium and precious stones such as emeralds.

For the better part of a century the Shadow's sinister laughter brought the chill of fear to evil-doers - but in our modern times, the streets of Manhattan have gone largely silent. But he is not forgotten. Not by the people he's saved. Mary Jerez, is one of those people. The Shadow saved her from a horrifying school shooting - Mary knows all too well what evil lurks in the hearts of men. So when a horribly burnt man - incredibly strong and fierce, despite his terrible injuries- arrives under her care as a resident at the hospital - she believes she knows who he is, too. Is this mysterious man actually the Shadow - and with Mary's more
The Shadow knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men because of the darkness within his own heart. Pick this book up if you haven't yet. Read Full Review
In short, while issue #1 is a solid start, Spurrier should be careful going forward. Otherwise, his POV character Mary could turn into an insufferably self-aware exposition machine. Read Full Review
A riveting story that uses unconventional means to show why this book needs to exist right now. One of the best debuts Ive read in a long time. Read Full Review
It feels good to have another Shadow book in my pull-list again. The Shadow (Vol. 3) #1 was a great start full of intrigue and mystery. Mary Jerez is a solid main character who we get to know pretty organically and it does wonders having someone who knows him in present day. Moving a character to modern times means all-new, but familiar, even just to The Shadow is preferred. Read Full Review
I felt that this debut issue of the Shadow was a great start to this incarnation of the character. Reasonably solid story and excellent art! Read Full Review
Writers Si Spurrier and Dan Watters build an intriguingly different take on the franchise, one that hinges less on Lamont Cranston himself and more on a doctor-in-training named Mary caring for a burn victim who may or may not be the Shadow himself. Read Full Review
The Shadow #1 may not be the best introductory issue the iconic pulp anti-hero has seen in his illustrious career, but it certainly is one of the more unique ones. Delivering a suspenseful tale, told from the perspective of a woman The Shadow once saved, the creative team produce a fresh concept that has the potential to become one of the character's greatest stories to date. Read Full Review
The story as the perfect blend of clever dialogue and action to pull you in, I enjoy the nurse telling the story of the past and how it affects the now, the little twist at the end has me grasping for more of the Shadow and where has he been. Read Full Review
In all, this issue does a good job of hooking the reader and I definitely want to read more. I've always been a sucker for a good old-fashioned pulp story, and this was a good opening for just that. Read Full Review
The Shadow has had an illustrious career from a number of publishers. Don't forget, he actually pre-dates Batman. Dynamite has started this new volume with a less than knowing Shadow, which should help give this long-standing vigilante some knew life. Read Full Review
While the structure works for a single issue, The Shadow #1 fails to sell me on a new series set far after the glory days of the man who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men. Hit-and-Miss. Read Full Review
It's an interesting idea. If I said I wasn't a bit leery of how this is going to unfold, I'd be lying. At the same time, I'm curious to see the path writers Si Spurrier and Dan Watters are taking us down. Read Full Review
Dynamite has had mostly good fortune publishing new Shadow adventures, but those have beenwritten by people familiar with the character, who were respectful to hisroots. The Lone Ranger belongs in the Old West. Sherlock Holmes belongs inVictorian England. The Shadow belongs in gangster-era New York. This currenteffort to modernize him, and bring him up to date 75+ years later, is in myopinion, misguided. Read Full Review
This was my first shadow comic. I thought the art was great. The story, while not the best for new readers, was not bad at all. I find the concept very interesting and hope to see where this all leads.
Instantly forgettable and kind of snide about everything but the Shadow. Not the least bit fun or interesting.

You caught that faithful old expression only dogs can give. ...in my house, I'm thankful the TP gets put on the holder by someone other than myself - if not for me it would sit on the counter for infinity and over or under wouldn't be an issue. (Oh, & I prefer over)

Thanks, Margaret. I'm an over man myself. The cats find it much easier to play with that way, too. As if the end just dangling there wasn't inspiration enough for a little cat mischief, an air vent directly under the holder in my bathroom waves the tissue in a most tantalizing way the kids can't resist. Way to go, Steve (builder).

By Isaac Vuni
December 24, 2008 (JUBA) — The Speaker of Southern Sudan Legislative Assembly (SSLA) James Wani Igga told a religious celebration in Juba that the Sudan People's Liberation Movement is committed to achieve an independent state in southern Sudan.
- James Wani Igga
Igga emphasized commitment of SPLM to securing sovereign state of South Sudan. However, he added that there are many individuals including Southern political parties, seemingly, have failed to understand role of SPLM towards separation or unity of the Sudan during the forth coming general election scheduled for next year.
The speaker was addressing youth full congregations and southerners at SSLA premises to mark the fourth Christmas after signing Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) that ended 21 years devastating civil war on 9th January 2005.
He further said "SPLM/A didn't go to bush simply to waste time but rather have concert plan of liberating discriminated, oppressed and marginalize southerners by successive regimes in Khartoum."
The head of Juba parliament noted that the comprehensive peace agreement "has a lot of enemies including southerners who are out to destroy the CPA at any cost while some letting their buttocks to be stamped simply to betray people of South Sudan aspiration". But he cautioned that "SPLM will never allow spoilers to carryout their sinister by purporting to be supporters of SPLM/A" during the forth coming national election scheduled for net year.
The speaker went to say "there are many individuals including some southern political parties who have failed to understand position of SPLM towards forth coming 2011 referendum, alleging that SPLM is neither for separation nor unity."
Igga elucidated that SPLM/A that fought for 21 years will never surrender at the last minute from establishing sovereign state comes 2011 referendum.
"If those in Khartoum think they could dishonor the CPA in the same way they did to Addis Ababa and other agreements, it will be a great deserters to them. So together let's fully implement the CAP for realizing interest of South Sudanese;" pleaded Speaker Wani.
The Speaker further assured the congregation that the government of southern Sudan will never surrender until CPA is fully implemented and encouraged southerners to elect competent leaders who cherish interest of south above individuals.
He also noted that when SPLM came to Juba on 5th April 2005, there were few men who either took refuge in Khartoum or fled to foreign countries while few remaining were seriously dehydrated beside denied rights to conduct funeral in their houses compared to present glittering faces resulting from GOSS efforts yet many selfish southerners are deliberately denying what SPLM did for people of south Sudan.
However, Speaker acknowledged that some SPLA soldiers are cheating and looting innocent fellow citizens especially in Juba capital compounded with land grabbing influenced by some senior government officials whom he did not mention by name or ethnicity, likely to divide southerners unless ownership of land clearly define in GOSS interim constitution. "Forgive them, they do not know what they are doing", Igga requested.
He urges each southerner to contribute individually by their talent for rapid reconstruction and development of South Sudan and refrain from blaming the semi autonomous government for their quick expectations than giving time for it to realize changes for people. "If God has given it selves seven days for creation of the world, why not give GOSS ampoule time? The Speaker wondered.
He further disclosed that SSLA has so far enacted 27 laws and more bills expected before general election scheduled for next year but SPLM do not know when it will be conducted.
On behalf of the August house, James Wani donated 7000 Sudanese pounds to representative of religious groups who participated in the Christmas Carol.
The President of Southern Sudan government Salva Kiir Mayardit, a staunch Catholic faithful, left for Nairobi on morning of 23rd December for medical treatment. He was widely lauded for constructive decision of appointing Nhiel Deng Nhiel as minister of SPLA affairs on 22nd 2008.
Minister of Regional Cooperation, Barnaba Marial Benjamin called on the two peace partners NCP and SPLM to boldly implement the deal to the letter. He cautioned that if Khartoum government was behind derailing implementation of CPA, it will be deserters for them because Goss will never backtrack from what they fought for, he declared
He also appealed to all Southern Sudanese to elect a right people in right place during the forth coming general election scheduled for next year.
Benjamin praised the Southern Sudan Churches leaders for their support during liberation struggle and urges them to continue supporting implementation of CPA to the letter.
On behalf of Goss, Minister Dr. Benjamin donated 8000 Sudanese pounds to religious groups that participated in marking SSLA Christmas Carol 2008 with each getting 1000 Sudanese pound and they are: Kator cathedral choir St. Charles Lwang Choir, Nuer Choir, ECS Dinka Choir, Bari choir, Pentecostal Choir and Golgota music Bund
In accordance with the terms of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed on January 9, 2005, the people of Southern Sudan shall vote in the 2011 referendum to either confirm the unity of Sudan or opt to create an independent country.
The people of Abyei shall also vote in the same year to either remain with the North or join the South if it becomes independent, while the people of Nuba Mountains and Southern Blue Nile shall have popular consultations within the North.
Meanwhile the Catholic Archbishop, His Grace Paulion Lukudu Loro appeal to faithful Christians together with Southerners to refrain from evil practices and asked the Churches and the government to work together for common good of southerners and embrace spirit of forgive demonstrated by SSLA.
Prelate emphasized that SSLA should represent cross section of southerners irrespective of their ethnicity or religious affiliation because SSLA has vital role of promoting democracy and also overseeing Executive operation.
He added that while South Sudanese Bishops were in Roma in 1997, His Grace disclosed that South Sudanese Bishops agreed to remain firm and stay with their oppressed and marginalized faithful congregations and challenged the National Islamic Front led government to "Let my people choose" self-determination at time when talking about will amount to one's dead in hand of ruling government.
Meanwhile on behalf of Episcopal Church of the Sudan (ECS) most Reverend Daniel Deng Bul of Juba, Right Reverend Micah Dawidi Laila describe the occasion as unique in the history of the August House and alleging that SSLA has been dominated for the last three years and eleven months by communist elites who have no respect and love for God.
Right Reverend Laila further alleged that Prelate Paulino Lokudu and he were targeted for assassination for demanding self determination to South Sudanese.
He alleged that the presidential assistant and deputy chairman of the National Congress Party Nafi Ali Nafi and Riek Gai Kok, the Presidential Advisor and Vice Chairman of the NCP Southern Division were involved in training some sons of prominent Southern officials in central Sudan town of Medeni, now terrorizing Juba with knives and heavy weaponry under the name of Nigers, while government play down their arrest.
The Minister of parliamentary affairs, Martin Elias Lomuro and the team felt they were not early enough involve in preparation for the Christmas Carol prayer hence they tactically boycotted to avoid conflict of interest within parliament as minister is reported to be present in Juba.
The occasion was colorfully attended by various groups of denominations in Juba and surrounding including African traditional believers who were entertained by Kator cathedral choir, St. Charles Lwang Choir, Nuer Choir, ECS Dinka Choir, Bari choir, Pentecostal Choir and Golgota music Bund.
The Sudan Council of Churches officially registered denomination groups in Southern Sudan are the Catholic Church, Episcopal Church of the Sudan (ECS), African Inland Church of the Sudan (AIC), Presbyterian Church of Sudan and Pentecostal Church of the Sudan in Juba amongst others unregistered scats waiting to grape any available opportunity to promote themselves.

Arranging Easter baskets for kids can be tricky.
Since candy should be consumed by the kiddos in moderation, many parents struggle when it comes to filling Easter baskets.
Here are a few ideas to help you fill your kid's Easter baskets with items other than sugary sweets.
Comic Books
Comic books are all the rage right now among little boys AND little girls. That's right. Comic books are no longer geared only toward boys. You can now also find comic books with leading female characters, such as America, Moon Girl and The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. And if your kiddo loves to draw, this Make Your Own Comics book is sure to be a hit.
Flash Cards
If your kids are learning how to read, write and comprehend basic mathematics, you might want to toss in a pack of flash cards. These are especially helpful if your child is one who requires interactive engagement to learn.
Small Toys
You of course can't go wrong with toys. Just make sure you're filling those baskets with toys your kid will actually play with! Younger kids like stacking toys and blocks while older kids tend to like playing with blind bags, cards and gadgets.
Bath Bombs
Have a kiddo who dreads bath time? Surprise him or her with some bath additives that will make bathing a magical experience. There are lots of bath bombs geared toward kids. You can even find Easter egg shaped bath bombs that reveal a hidden toy inside, and bath bombs that have glitter! (Don't worry, it rinses down the drain when bath time is done.)
Stuffed Animals
No Easter basket arrangement is considered complete unless supplemented with some plush pals. Bunnies are the obvious choice but you might want to switch things up this year and give your tot a stuffed jungle animal or a stuffed dog he or she will love. I adore this little Cottontail Cottage. It's fair trade crafted by women in India, and a portion of profits goes to birthday boxes for foster children.
A few other non-candy Easter basket filler ideas include crayons, colored pencils, coloring books, stickers or sticker books, Play-Doh, puzzles, slinkies, and sunglasses.

How to Extend Standardization Outside the Lab
As the healthcare industry shifts from its traditional fee-for-service payment system to models of reimbursement that reward providers for care quality and value, laboratory standardization is proving vital to success. Consolidating multiple labs to a single site can help pathologists and their teams work more efficiently. It can also help them to eliminate redundancies, which is critical as health systems look to reduce and control costs. And finally, it can lead to better patient outcomes—but only if the right stakeholders are engaged in the process.
Here's a look at who those stakeholders are and how laboratorians can work with them to ensure end-to-end quality across the continuum of care.
Percent of total U.S. healthcare payments tied to value-based, alternative payment models (APMs) in 2017
Percent of total U.S. healthcare payments tied to value-based, alternative payment models (APMs) in 20161
Health system leaders are laser-focused on reducing costs, but they're also interested in any new project that can improve care quality. Work closely with executives to ensure your interests are aligned.
"Alignment of vision between the organization leadership [and] the laboratory leadership is exceptionally important."
-Eyas Hattab, MD, MBA, Chair of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, A.J. Miller
Endowed Chair in Pathology, University of Louisville
Because physicians and clinical staff have direct contact with patients, it's important that standardization initiatives include them in all stages of the planning and implementation process. Understand the clinical team's needs so you know where to focus your improvement efforts.
"Make sure you have a seat at the table in interdisciplinary meetings. It's important to have your lab team sitting on committees with other departments."
-Michelle Barthel, MT(ASCP), MHA, System Director of Laboratory
Services, Regional Health
Information technology is important to any laboratory's success. Communicate with IT leaders so they know exactly what technologies your lab needs to work efficiently and effectively.
"I personally believe that for a laboratory to be successful, you have to…be assertive [with IT] and say, 'Well, this is what we need in the laboratory. These are our own priorities.'"
-Eyas Hattab, MD, MBA, Chair of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine,
A.J. Miller Endowed Chair in Pathology, University of Louisville
1: Prioritize
and Organize
Make a list of your laboratory's needs and determine what additions and investments will help your team achieve its goals.
2: Participate
Take part in interdisciplinary meetings to learn how you can help others in your health system improve patient outcomes.
3: Communicate
Ask leaders in the C-suite and in IT for the resources you need to be successful.
4: Report on Successes
Let physician and C-suite leaders know where your lab is making improvements, and how those improvements should impact them.
5: Build and Improve
Continually refine your laboratory operations to improve efficiencies and meet clinical needs.

Ras al Khaimah emirate is located approximately 120km from Dubai and has recently been widely offered by travel agencies at discount prices. For an idea, a weekly holiday (all inclusive) often costs around 2460 AED (including accommodation, air tickets, all-inclusive and eventually transfer).
The Ras Al Khaimah emirate a kind of alternative, for example, to Egypt or Tunisia, plus there is a lot of hotels. However, of course, Emirates are much cleaner and secure than the countries mentioned, which is, by the way, one of the reasons why I often recommend Emirates to those who want only to go to sea in the winter. You can get there in just 6 hours and there is no danger involved, unlike in Egypt, I need to congratulate those who have not experienced intestinal problems while travelling there.
If you are an active person I don't recommend you Ras Al Khaimah (If you want to explore, enjoy the experiences, etc.). You will find there nice shopping centres, good restaurants, plenty of outdoor restaurants with a water pipe, nice beaches and interesting market place (more Arabic than the souks in Dubai). But you will pay a quite considerable amount for trips. You can take advantage of hotel and travel agency trips (use services of local agencies) but trips to the desert, Oman and Dubai are quite a bit of expensive fun.
What I see as an advantage to the Ras Al Khaimah emirate:
- Has its own airport, and a relatively short transfer from Dubai
- Clean and safe – It is not as clean as Dubai, nobody is running around you with a mop, but it is still a clean holiday destination
- Nice sea and beaches
- Affordability – Cheap hotels with all inclusive
- great marketplace (call a taxi and say the word "bazaar" and it will take you there) – it has an Arabic atmosphere, some places have a harsher impression
- Nice shopping centres
- Cheaper taxi than in Dubai
- Feels more Arabic than Dubai (subjective feeling)
- Ice Land Water Park – a water park where there are quite a few people
What I see as a problem:
- Compared to Dubai, there are fewer options
- Nice sea, but if you want only the sea and I mean a beautiful sea with the possibility of diving perhaps, I recommend the Fujairah emirate
- Expensive trips of the local agenciesEven if you want mainly sea, cheap prices and food, you may want to visit Dubai. You are close to it. Or maybe make some other trip, I always recommend you to find out what the price of the agencies and hotels is and then compare it with the price for a taxi, clearly. The trip will be without a guide, but if you travel in a group, you can save a fortune on one trip. E.g. I and two of my friends went to Dubai from there and it was quite cheap (cheaper than the other options). The taxi in Ras al Khaimah will even blow on you if you go on foot, they are everywhere and it's the cheapest transport available. There is also the possibility of a bus, the approximate price to Dubai is around 20-25 AED per person, the taxi is around 220 AED. But if you are eg 4 people, I recommend taking a taxi.
Excursions from agencies:
You can go to the desert (quad bikes, off-road rides, an evening program and dinner in an oasis) or to Oman, local agencies and hotels offer a fjord trip – in the morning a car will come for you, take you to Oman, will take care of your visas for you (during the trip) and you will spend a beautiful day on a boat. There are several stops for snorkelling and lunch and you can also see dolphins in the surrounding water. You can also go for a trip to Dubai, but I personally recommend getting your own means of transportation (mentioned above) – you can go there two or three times that way, for the same amount of money.
Possibilities in Ras al Khaimah:
There are several options. You may want to go for a sea, the market, shopping centres or you might want to visit Ice Land Water Park – a water park where there are quite a few people. The entrance is 90 AED.
Mountains – mountains are full of goats. The highest mountain Jebel Jais is 1930 meters high and is the highest mountain in the whole country. I've heard somewhere that they are planning to build a ski area at the top of it. The mountain can be reached by car (or you can have a walk there), but you will need to walk for a while anyway.

Nintendo posted some new screenshots from Super Smash Bros. Wii U, showing off some of the contenders in action. Below you will see Kid Icarus preparing to take a shot, Link(s) performing their patented spin attack, and the Wii Fit characters performing some aerial acrobatics (I am personally still not to keen on these characters, but Nintendo can do whatever Nintendo wants).
We still have no solid release date on Super Smash Bros. Wii U, but some recent reports and speculations have it pinned down anywhere between May and the end of 2014.

Major finding: TET2 recruits O-GlcNAc transferase to chromatin and promotes histone H2B O-GlcNAcylation.
Concept: TET2, OGT, and O-GlcNAc enrichment at transcription start sites was associated with increased expression.
Impact: Inactivating TET2 mutations may lead to reduced histone O-GlcNAcylation and gene silencing.
Recurrent somatic loss-of-function mutations in ten eleven translocation 2 (TET2) have been identified in myeloid cancers. TET enzymes convert 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, but the molecular mechanisms by which they regulate gene expression remain incompletely understood. To gain insight into the role of the TET family in transcription, Chen and colleagues used affinity purification and mass spectrometry to identify TET-interacting proteins. TET2 and TET3 specifically bound O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) transferase (OGT), which catalyzes the addition of a monosaccharide glucose derivative to proteins, both in vitro and in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. O-GlcNAcylation of specific amino acids mediates functions of many cellular proteins and is thought to link nutrient sensing to cell signaling. OGT did not glycosylate 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, and its coexpression had no effect on TET2-dependent 5-methylcytosine conversion in vitro. However, TET2 knockdown in ES cells dramatically reduced the levels of chromatin-bound OGT and histone O-GlcNAcylation, particularly at serine-112 of histone H2B. This modification is believed to promote H2B lysine 120 monoubiquitination and transcriptional activation by serving as a scaffold for ubiquitin ligase binding. Genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing analysis showed a marked overlap among TET2, OGT, and H2B serine-112 O-GlcNAc, particularly at transcription start sites associated with highly expressed genes. TET2 loss strongly suppressed OGT recruitment and H2B serine-112 O-GlcNAcylation at target gene promoters in association with transcriptional downregulation. Of note, a TET2 enzymatic mutant incapable of 5-methylcytosine conversion restored H2B O-GlcNAcylation and partially rescued TET2 and OGT gene expression, suggesting that TET2-mediated gene expression is partly dependent on histone O-GlcNAcylation. Loss of this epigenetic modification may therefore play a role in cancers harboring inactivating TET2 mutations.

£5000 donation
On Thursday 9th January, Hospice Hope Trustees were delighted to be invited to a presentation evening hosted by the three Ashby Rotary Clubs at the Willesley Golf Club. There, we were overjoyed to be presented with a magnificent cheque for £5000!
This tremendous donation was a result of the Christmas 'Santa Sleigh' collections all around Ashby and the surrounding district. A further cheque has been promised once the gift aid on the donations has been received.
The collections are collectively organised and run by all three Rotary Clubs in Ashby, and one of our Trustees, Roy Stobbs, appeared as Santa on no less than 17 occasions. A number of Hospice Hope volunteers also acted as collecting 'elves' on two nights (thank you Sue, Delyth, Janet and Gill) accompanied by some of our trustees.
We are so very grateful to the ongoing support we receive from Ashby's Rotary Clubs.
Pictured below is President Paul Bertenshaw presenting Hospice Hope Trustee Peter Last with our cheque (photo supplied by the Ashby Rotary Clubs).

Known affectionately as 'Parterre,' Pardee's Newport garden, as well as her residence, sits on land formerly encompassed by the Belmont Estate, which is home to the magnificent mansion, Rosecliff. As a result of this provenance, the Pardees' landscape lays claim to a rich palette of existing flora, such as beeches, oaks, and delicate linden trees. By adding her own favorite plants and experimenting with others, Pardee has created a combination of environments that speak to aesthetics both here and abroad. "I like to think of Parterre as a collection of smaller gardens created in the French tradition, with an American accent and a Newport sensibility," she explains. This green-thumbed author further points out that, while her approach to garden-making is orderly, it's not mired down in formality. "I see myself as, first and foremost, a 'tree person,' which keeps me from taking my garden too seriously."
While Pardee's visions for her property were meticulously thought out, they required the expertise of landscape designer Virginia Purviance to be realized. Timing was crucial because Purviance was about to retire; instead, the designer found this assignment too compelling to decline. "As we began discussing Bettie's ideas for the garden, she handed me a scrapbook overflowing with pictures and handwritten notes," Purviance remembers. "Right away, I knew that this was no ordinary endeavor."
"Every plant at Parterre must pass the litmus test of 'Will it enhance a flower arrangement?' Even flowers (and, yes, trees) from other parts of my property are called upon to make their contributions." Bettie Bearden Pardee
Placed on axis with the Pardees' library and sunroom (two places where the couple spends a great deal of time), the winter garden remains lush throughout the year and undergoes a magical transformation during winter when a blanket of snow turns all the evergreens into white sculptures. Serving as the garden's focal point, a bench that Pardee designed herself (and sells) sits in a hedged recess directly across from the library window. Other features, such as a central fountain and oval reflecting pool bordered with boxed pear trees, echo the residence's French demeanor.
Just a few steps down from the winter garden, a lovely gazebo called the orangery oversees two smaller sections. Given to Pardee as a Christmas gift by her husband, this octagonal greenhouse sports leaded-glass windows and a glass roof that can be manually opened on pleasant days. Covered in an abundance of climbing roses and accented with shallow niches, the diminutive structure not only houses plants, but also serves as an ideal spot for a casual lunch or an intimate dinner party.
Adjacent to the gazebo, her prized creation, which she calls the black-and-white garden, abounds with dark green and purple plantings that love the shade, like coral-bells and Siberian irises. Interspersed with 'Deutschland' astilbe and 'David' phlox, along with lamb's ear and variegated hosta, these beds of contrasting colors live up to the homeowner's intents. As finishing touches, 'Silver King ' Euonymus japonicus shrubs are formed into obelisk-shaped centerpieces, which add height and diversity to the mix.
On the opposite side of the gazebo, four manicured quadrants labeled the orangery parterres are precisely separated by pea-gravel paths that intersect at a central, Roman urn planter. Highlighted by a 'Hally Jolivette' cherry tree, each parterre puts on a dazzling display in the spring.
Because the life of an avid gardener isn't complete without a cutting garden, Pardee maintains a whole host of perennials and annuals for her personal table settings and for flower-show entries. Located just beyond the pergola and garages, this northern spot on the property also helps the author chase away the winter blues. And among the various dahlias, roses, and clematis found here, there's even room for vegetables like squash and zucchini.

MK Dons have today completed the loan signing of Crystal Palace winger Jason Banton until January 5th 2014.
on Wednesday and the former England Under-17 international will link up with his new team-mates this morning ahead of the trip to his ex-club Plymouth Argyle this weekend. mkstadiumBanton, 20, sealed the temporary switch to
Dons boss Karl Robinson has made public his desire to strengthen in the wide areas and the Liverpudlian will be hoping Banton, who scored six goals in 14 games for Argyle in League 2 last season, is the man to provide that excitement from the flanks.
Speaking to mkdons.com, Robinson said: "Jason is someone I have known for a while from my time at Liverpool and Blackburn.
"He is a very gifted footballer who is yet to reach his full potential but showed glimpses of what he can do while he was on loan with Plymouth last season. I would like to thank Ian Holloway for helping this deal happen, and I believe with someone like Ian watching over Jason he could be a great success in the game."
Born in Tottenham, Banton enjoyed spells with Arsenal, Spurs and Blackburn Rovers as a youngster before signing professionally with Liverpool in January 2011.
After failing to make a first team appearance for the Reds, Banton signed for Leicester City the following summer and immediately joined Burton Albion on a month-long loan, where he made his first professional appearance against Bradford City.
Following his spell with Burton, Banton left the Foxes in October that year before heading out to the United States where he trained with Major League Soccer (MLS) side Seattle Sounders.
In October 2012 Banton joined Crystal Palace on trial last summer and the winger did enough to earn himself a one-year-deal at Selhurst Park. Banton made his first team debut for Palace in an FA Cup tie against Stoke City in January of this year before signing for Plymouth Argyle on loan until March.
Banton's impressive goalscoring form at Home Park earned him both the League Two Player of the Month award for March and a new one-year-contract at Palace, who recalled him from his loan spell in April.
Banton has been given permission by Palace to play in both the Capital One Cup and Johnstone's Paint Trophy this season but will not feature in the FA Cup for MK Dons.

Photo Gallery: Pacific Jewel
Let's be honest, if you're researching your cruise and you place a photo of Pacific Jewel alongside one of the newer ships regularly based in Australia, you may be more likely to gravitate toward the latter based on looks alone. But anybody who makes their choice of cruise ship based only on the exterior is setting themselves up for disappointment. It's always more important to look deeper to see exactly what the ship has to offer your group.
The 1990-built ship has been sailing with P&O Cruises Australia since 2009 and in that time has undergone a number of refurbishments and renovations, making the actual passenger experience one of the most modern you'll find in Australia. So while yes, it is encased in older hardware, look deeper than the skin and you're likely to find a greater appeal than you think.
Last renovated in mid-2015, Pacific Jewel reflects the current modern P&O Cruises product complete with the latest restaurants and dining offerings, including Waterfront & The Pantry. The latest theatre shows can be found in the theatre, while families with children will find the newest Kids Club facilities catering to ages from near newborn through to near adulthood.
Cruise Advice was invited onboard recently to check out Pacific Jewel and true to form, we found much more to love about this ship than what it may appear to offer from the outside.

When you just stop, and then invite God to show you whatever He wants to show you – things that once weren't so clear become very clear. The deeper I went into the stillness and the quiet of my burnout inspired Sabbath with God, the clearer it became to me that I didn't really own anything. Nothing I enjoyed in my life was enjoyed because I "owned" or had totally mastery over the whole process of making those things happen for myself. That which was in my life, wasn't there solely because of me. I realized there were so many other factors and players involved in my ability to access the enjoyment of what I thought I "owned." It also became clearer that I had no control over how long or how much I would enjoy any of it. Even if I did routine maintenance and regular service on my stuff, I still didn't control when my stuff would break. It was sobering to realize that the bank accounts, retirement assets, home, and car that I fell back on to feel emotionally secure on my bad days, were really not in my control. I was not an owner of anything, but a steward of what God was sharing with me as His caretaker for as long as He saw fit.
Here's a fun exercise. Make a list of the stuff that you "own," and then try to assess how much that stuff came under your "ownership" all because you had sole mastery over how that stuff came under your control. Finally ask yourself, "What do I actually own?"
