Airbus SE is considering increasing production rates for its best-selling single-aisle A320 jetliners, as airlines around the world place orders for hundreds of planes to meet surging demand for air travel.
"The success of the products is forcing us to look at any opportunities we can have to improve the rate," Eric Schulz, Airbus's new sales chief, said at the Singapore Airshow on Tuesday. "We have not come to any conclusion yet. But this is something we are looking at very, very closely."
Airlines, particularly in Asia, are scrambling to secure aircraft to support the rapid expansion in emerging markets, including China and India, where more and more people are taking to the skies for the first time. The demand has boosted orders for both Airbus's A320 family of single-aisles as well as Boeing Co.'s 737 — models that form the backbone for short-haul travel.
Airbus said previously it aims to produce 60 A320s a month by mid-2019, up from an average of 50 in the first quarter of last year, across production lines in Mobile, France, Germany and China. Outgoing Chief Operating Officer Fabrice Bregier indicated last month that there is enough demand for Airbus to be producing as many as 70 of the aircraft a month, adding that any decision would be left to his successor.
Output hurdles
Production hurdles that have hindered deliveries of engines for both Airbus and Boeing narrow-bodies have leveled out in recent months, with Schulz saying he was "confident" that the European manufacturer's supply chain would be able to cope with a higher target. CFM, a joint venture between General Electric Co. and Safran SA, said in January it had been approached by each planemaker about reaching a rate of 70 planes a month.
Tight aircraft availability is already hindering deals, including for a possible order of 50 narrow-bodies from India's Vistara, sources said on Monday. The airline may have to agree to lease some aircraft to bridge the time until it can get new jets off Airbus's production line.
Boeing's 737 Max is available for delivery only after 2020, the company's senior vice president for sales in Asia and India, Dinesh Keskar said. The company has already indicated that rates on its narrow-bodies will reach 57 jets a month this year.
Asia Pacific is likely to have 3.5 billion airline passengers by 2036, more than doubling the forecast for North America and Europe combined, according to estimates by the International Air Transport Association.
Airbus's Schulz was making his first appearance as sales chief, succeeding industry legend John Leahy, who secured aircraft orders worth more than $1 trillion during his decades-long tenure. Leahy has said he intends to stay on at Airbus to help with the transition.

Adult Day Health Center
IMCC's adult day health center provides a safe, engaging, and therapeutic environment for people with memory impairment in mid to late stages. It is the only dementia-specific day center in the DC metro area and still the only adult day health center in Northern Virginia with programs for people in the later stages of an Alzheimer's illness.
The Basics
The Day Center is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. Participants can attend from two to five days a week, and for the hours that work best for their schedules. Our participants thrive on a structured daily program, so unfortunately we cannot accept drop-in requests. The Day Center offers:
- A secure and safe environment
- Staff ratio that exceeds state licensure requirements
- Structured activities on regularly scheduled days of attendance
- Highly trained, multi-lingual staff
- Health monitoring and medication management by nursing staff
- Assistance with personal care, including mealtime and incontinence care
- Individualized participant care plan with goals
- Physical therapy and exercise program
- Two meals and two snacks offered daily
- Assistance with arranging low-cost transportation, if needed
- Financial assistance available
- And a warm and loving environment with friends!
The Day Program provides an environment that focuses on people's strengths rather than their memory limitations, addressing the needs of the total person: physical, mental, and emotional. Recreational Therapy activities are designed to restore motor, social and cognitive functioning, build confidence, develop coping skills, and integrate skills learned in treatment settings into community settings.
Tours & Orientation
We are happy to give you a tour of the center, anytime during our regular business hours. We also hold regular New Family Orientations to cover the basics of our day center care. Contact us to set up a tour; upcoming family events are listed below!

Credit Repair Magic
Frederick Frank Adjunct Professor of Finance School of Management Yale University
The investor in nonagency mortgage-backed securities products is exposed to credit risk. Because there is no explicit or implicit government guarantee, all nonagency securities are credit enhanced in order to obtain a specific credit rating for each tranche in a deal. Credit enhancement mechanisms can take various forms, both from external parties and within the structure of the deal. External credit enhancement mechanisms are third-party guarantees. Internal credit enhancement mechanisms are forms of self-insurance. In addition, derivative instruments, specifically interest-rate swaps and interest-rate caps, can be used as a form of credit enhancement. The credit enhancement mechanism(s) used are those that provide the seller with the best execution. That is, it will maximize proceeds from the sale of the pool of mortgage loans after credit enhancement expenses (implicit and explicit) are taken into account.
This chapter examines and explains the various forms and usages of credit enhancement in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and mortgage-related asset-backed securities (ABS). It discusses issues related to both internal and external credit enhancement and how differences in collateral quality and expected credit performance influence the form and amount of enhancement needed. It concludes with a discussion of how interest-rate derivatives are used for hedging interest-rate risk.

"..Avery Flynn did not disappoint. I enjoyed every bit of the book…" ~ Under the Covers
Avery Flynn is a new to me author I recently discovered and loved. Obviously, as soon as she comes out with a new book, I have to jump at it. Flynn did not disappoint with this short story. I was pleasantly surprised that despite the short length, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Miami Thunder's famous linebacker is finally cleared to play after injuring his ankle the season before. First, he has to get his groove back in the public eyes. The task is to go on a publicity cruise and show his fans that he is ready to go. Unfortunately, even with his handler, Angie Diaz at his side, it wasn't a smooth sail. Poor Colt, he just could not get a break.
Angie Diaz is determined to loosen him up and get him through this trip without any problems. But with a very temperamental player like Colt, it's not going to be easy.
I enjoyed Colt and Angie's story. Angie had the coolest job ever, it came with lot of perks. Who wouldn't want to be a handsome football player's "handler". She is one lucky SOB; that's for sure. Colt was sometimes an ass, but he made it up at the end by bringing his romantic side out. This story had a Top Gun Vibe to it. It really was cute.
Hot Dare is part of Dare to Love Kindle Worlds or Dare to Love series by Carly Phillips. Though I have not read any of her books, I've heard great things. There will be appearances and mentions of the Dare family members; Ian, Dylan, and Sophie. Fans of this series will enjoy the cameos, no doubt.
As I said, Avery Flynn did not disappoint. I enjoyed every bit of the book, I only wish it was longer. It would've been nice to see Colt in action during a game or practice. I'm not sure what Ms. Flynn's plans are but I would love to read more about Colt's friends and teammates.

Amendments to Federal False Claims Act And Likely Effect on State Counterparts

"Amendments to Federal False Claims Act And Likely Effect on State Counterparts"
General Folder
View MyHHR
Since its adoption in the Civil War era, the federal False Claims Act (FCA) has provided for treble damages and penalties against those who submit false or fraudulent claims to the United States. In addition to authorizing the government to sue, the FCA's "qui tam" provision allows a private person (the "relator") to initiate an action on behalf of the United States and, if the action is successful, to receive a percentage of the recovery. After years of dormancy, amendments to the FCA in 1986 strengthened its provisions, resulting in increasing recoveries by the United States and by qui tam relators. For the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2010, the Department of Justice reported $3 billion in FCA recoveries, and aggregate recoveries since the 1986 amendments of $27 billion. Two sets of recent amendments to the FCA further extend its reach in ways that may well exceed the impact of the 1986 amendments. In 2009 and 2010, Congress enacted amendments to overturn restrictive interpretations of the FCA relating to the scope of claims subject to liability and the types of public disclosures that preclude qui tam relators from pursuing actions in which the government declines to intervene. In addition to reversing these particular interpretations, the amendments significantly broadened the FCA in ways that have not yet been reflected in the case law. These amendments to the federal FCA will likely also lead to parallel changes in state false claims act statutes, which provide similar incentives to qui tam relators and provide for similar penalties and damages against those submitting false or fraudulent claims to a state. The Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has advised many state Medicaid fraud control units that their state false claims act statutes need to be revised to incorporate federal changes in order to qualify for federal incentives. These incentives and the states' own interest in maximizing recoveries under their statutes will likely lead to widespread adoption of the amended FCA provisions in the counterpart state statutes. 'Allison Engine' In its unanimous decision in Allison Engine Co. v. United States ex rel. Sanders, 553 U.S. 662 (2008), the U.S. Supreme Court addressed the FCA provision imposing liability on a defendant who "knowingly makes, uses, or causes to be made or used, a false record or statement to get a false or fraudulent claim paid or approved by the Government." 31 U.S.C. §3729(a)(2) (1994) (amended 2009) The Court interpreted this provision to require that a defendant must intend that the government itself pay the false claim instead of merely showing that a false statement resulted in the use of government funds to pay a false or fraudulent claim. 553 U.S. at 665. Similarly, the Court held that the provision applicable to a defendant who "conspires to defraud the Government by getting a false or fraudulent claim allowed or paid" was not satisfied by a scheme that had the effect of causing a private entity to make payments using money obtained from the government. Id. at 672-73 (quoting 31 U.S.C. §3729(a)(3) (1994)). Thus, the defendant subcontractors escaped liability where the case against them included invoices to the shipyard contractors, which falsely stated that their work was completed in compliance with Navy requirements, but failed to include the shipyards' invoices to the Navy. The Court held the government was required to show a direct link—that the purpose of the false statement was "to get" the government to pay or approve a claim. Id. at 672. The broader interpretation advocated by the government, the Court warned, "would threaten to transform the FCA into an all-purpose antifraud statute." Id.; see also id. at 669 (removing FCA requirement that defendant must intend that the government pay the false claim would render the provision "almost boundless") (citing United States ex rel. Totten v. Bombardier Corp., 380 F.3d 488, 496 (D.C. Cir. 2004), cert denied, 544 U.S. 1032 (2005)). Congress reversed these limitations on FCA liability in the Fraud Enforcement Recovery Act of 2009 (FERA), Pub. L. No. 111-21 §4, 123 Stat. 1617, 1621-23 (2009), amending the FCA in several respects, including the false-record provision, and expanding liability to anyone who "knowingly makes, uses, or causes to be made or used, a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim." 31 U.S.C. §3729(a)(1)(B)(2009). In turn, the definition of "claim" was expanded beyond claims made directly to the government to include "any request or demand, whether under a contract or otherwise, for money or property…that…is made to a contractor, grantee, or other recipient, if the money or property is to be spent or used on the Government's behalf or to advance a Government program or interest…" 31U.S.C. §3729(b)(2)(A)(ii)(2009). The FERA amendment stated that these provisions should be deemed to "take effect as if enacted on June 7, 2008" and should "apply to all claims under the [FCA] that are pending on or after that date." FERA, Pub. L. No. 111-21, §4(f)(1) (2009). Although these changes significantly expand the FCA, the impact of the amendments has not yet been fully realized. Federal courts have almost uniformly held that "claims" in the provision regarding the effective date refers to claims for reimbursement, not cases, and therefore have applied the pre-FERA version of the FCA to cases that involve allegedly false claims submitted for payment prior to June 7, 2008. E.g., United States ex rel. Carpenter v. Abbott Labs., Inc. 723 F.Supp.2d 395, 402 & n.15 (D. Mass. 2010) (summarizing cases and characterizing the few cases that interpret FERA to apply to cases pending on June 7, 2008 as containing "no analysis that refutes the well-reasoned views of the majority"). Because FCA complaints by qui tam relators remain under seal for months or even years while the government investigates and determines whether to intervene, most cases now being litigated involve claims submitted prior to the amendments. The changes to FCA liability made by FERA and the potential impact on parties defending FCA claims thus have yet to be explored in published decisions. Public Disclosure and PPACA Prior to 2010, the FCA's "public disclosure" provision withheld jurisdiction over an action by a relator (but not the government) that was "based upon the public disclosure of allegations or transactions in a criminal, civil, or administrative hearing, in a congressional, administrative, or Government Accounting Office report, hearing, audit, or investigation, or from the news media, unless…the person bringing the action is an original source of the information." 31 U.S.C. §3730(e)(4)(A)(2009). The Supreme Court held this public disclosure bar extended to disclosures by state and local sources, including audit reports issued by those authorities. See Graham County Soil and Water Conservation Dist. v. U.S. ex rel. Wilson, 130 S. Ct. 1396, 1411 (2010). As part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA),1 Congress specified that only federal audits and federal civil or administrative proceedings, not state or local, would give rise to this bar. The public disclosure bar also was made discretionary, rather than absolute, allowing qui tam relators to proceed when the government opposed dismissal. PPACA also loosened the standard for the relator to qualify as an "original source." The changes thus significantly reduce the ability of defendants to bar claims by qui tam relators. Expansion of State Statutes Although the impact of these changes to the federal FCA have yet to be fully developed, states are likely to adopt similar revisions to state false claims and Medicaid Fraud Control statutes. Under section 1909 of the Social Security Act, states are provided a financial incentive—a higher percentage recovery on Medicaid fraud claims—to enact laws relating to false or fraudulent claims submitted to a state Medicaid program that meets certain requirements monitored by OIG. The OIG criteria for evaluating such state statutes include whether liability for false Medicaid claims will be assessed in circumstances where federal FCA liability would attach, whether the state statute incentivizes qui tam relators as effectively as the FCA, and whether penalties match FCA levels. See OIG's Guidelines for Evaluating State False Claims Acts, 71 Fed. Reg. 48552 (Aug. 21, 2006). Earlier this year, OIG notified two dozen states that as a result of the amendments to the FCA described above, the state laws were no longer as effective as the federal FCA, jeopardizing eligibility for federal financial incentives. States were provided a grace period until March 31, 2013, to amend their laws. See State False Claims Act Reviews, http://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/state-false-claims-act-reviews/index.asp. (last visited Dec. 23, 2011). OIG's position, as well as each state's own financial interest in more effective statutes to recover for false claims, will likely cause states to modify their statutes to encompass the expanded liability and narrowed defenses provided under the amended federal False Claims Act. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 1.

In Nigeria, election spectacle at odds with rampant poverty
By RODNEY MUHUMUZA
Associated Press
Friday, February 15
RUGA SETTLEMENT, Nigeria (AP) — It's hard to find a campaign poster in this threadbare settlement on the outskirts of the Nigerian capital, where thousands live in makeshift structures of tarpaulin and sticks of timber.
From his little grocery shop, 65-year-old Jafar Ali awaits the moment a presidential contender will visit Ruga. He isn't hopeful.
"Of all the funds that have been spent, not even one naira has come into my hands," Ali said, referring to the Nigerian currency that is equal to about a quarter of one U.S. cent.
"We have been hearing that a lot of money is being shared," he added, referring to the cash the top candidates hand out to draw crowds to their rallies and the no-interest loans the government has been distributing before the vote.
"All we ask God is to give us a leader who will remember us one day and come here," Ali said.
On the eve of Nigeria's election on Saturday, the spectacle of campaign expenditure is at odds with the rampant poverty afflicting many. The lack of campaigning in this impoverished area contrasts with the election-time bustle of downtown Abuja, where the capital's tree-lined streets are adorned with colorful posters of presidential candidates and where their followers are ferried in buses to boisterous events.
It also highlights the frustration many of Nigeria's poor feel amid an election campaign said to be one of the country's most expensive ever as incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari tries to shake off the challenge of his billionaire rival, Atiku Abubakar.
Although there are legal limits to how much a presidential candidate can spend — one billion naira, or about $2.7 million — the campaigns of Buhari and Abubakar are widely believed to have spent far in excess of that, often with the support of groups that donate huge amounts of cash as well as gifts.
In one notable case, a group in northeastern Adamawa state that's loyal to Nuhu Ribadu, once revered as an anti-corruption activist until he threw his support behind the ruling party, donated 40 vehicles to the campaign to re-elect Buhari last month. That donation raised eyebrows because it is well over the donation limit of 1 million naira.
Buhari, who ruled briefly as a military dictator in the 1980s, was voted into power in 2015 with promises to fight corruption, boost the economy and end the deadly insurgency of the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram.
Many Nigerians say he has failed on all three counts, citing an ineffective war on graft that appears to target opponents, persistent insecurity in the northern part of the country, and an anemic economy that is struggling to attract foreign investment.
In addition to his lackluster performance, the 76-year-old Buhari has spent months out of the country for medical treatment for an undisclosed ailment.
Unemployment in Africa's most populous nation of 190 million was over 23 percent in the third quarter of 2018, up from 8.2 percent when Buhari took office, official figures show. Nigeria was in a recession for five months until early 2017, according to the International Monetary Fund, after the price of crude oil plunged to less than $30 a barrel in 2016.
Although Nigeria remains Africa's top oil producer, more than half of the country's total revenue goes toward servicing the public debt, according to the Brookings Institution, which reported last year that Nigeria had overtaken India as the country with the highest number of people living in extreme poverty.
Whoever wins Saturday's election will have to contend with a plethora of economic challenges that have left many Nigerians despairing, and often angry, with the government in Abuja. Despite its oil wealth, Nigeria's per capita income was $1,968 in 2017, according to the World Bank. There is an unresolved labor dispute over the minimum wage, which currently stands at 18,000 naira (about $50) per month.
Abubakar, a successful businessman and former vice president who is contesting the presidency for the fourth time, has seized on the wave of popular discontent with a vow to "get Nigeria working again."
For some Nigerians, the idea of their country as weak and uncertain is annoying.
"We the masses are suffering in this country. What we are seeing is negative change," said Emmanuel Chimezie, 29, who said he hasn't found a job since graduating from college in 2015.
"Nigeria has a lot of potential, but how to harness it is a big problem in this country. We need a good leader who can diversify the economy, not depending on oil, oil, oil."
Inflation rates pushing up the prices of food staples such as rice should convince the government to invest heavily in agriculture, he added.
"Buhari has to go," said Eze Onyekpere, who runs the Abuja-based Center for Social Justice. "If the masses don't sack him, then they should stop complaining."
Campaign rallies, he added, have become "places for vulgar abuse" and rarely focus on bread-and-butter issues, mirroring how the candidates would govern.
Critics point out that the high cost of running campaigns fuels official corruption as elected officials bid to recover their costs once in office.
"None of their manifestos speak directly to the needs of people," said Idayat Hassan, director of the Abuja-based civic group Center for Democracy and Development. "Politics is not the same as service to the people. If it were service to the people, they would not invest so much. It would not look like a do-or-die thing."
Similar concerns were raised last year in a report by the Chatham House think tank, which noted that Nigeria's two main parties are indistinguishable and both "function as patronage-fueled coalitions of fractious elite networks" whose goal is to get power and the associated financial rewards.
Some locals agree.
"In Nigeria, politics has become an investment," said Wole Adeoye, an unemployed college graduate in the commercial capital, Lagos. "The losers lose all their money and the winners become rich overnight."

Why poor storage and handling are to blame for Uganda's poor quality seed

The quality of purchased seeds, such as maize, groundnuts and others, is a major concern in Uganda.
Evidence from recent studies indicates that farmers all over the country have been slow to adopt improved seeds, such as those that protect against drought. Farmers prefer to use seeds they've saved from the last season; these are generally of poor quality and don't protect against weather problems. This suggests that, for Uganda's farmers, the cost of improved seeds – which are more expensive than home-saved seeds – outweighs any of the benefits.
Farmers are also concerned about the quality of agricultural inputs like fertiliser, seeds and pesticides. They worry about the potential for these to be adulterated and contaminated. For example, a recent study found that a bag of fertiliser picked at random had only half of the nitrogen content it should. This meant there was little value to using it. The authors also looked at yields from improved maize seeds and discovered a similar situation.
One reason that's widely cited for low yields is deliberate adulteration of seeds by sellers along the supply chain. The assumption is that sellers deliberately introduce grains or even stones into bags of seed to increase the weight. When the farmer uses these seeds, most don't germinate. However, no one has ever identified adulteration – it's simply assumed this is what is causing the problem.
This means that agricultural policy has tended to focus on certification of seeds, including labelling at the source, e-verification and requiring bags that are not easy to open until the farmer has them. But little effort has been made to improve the quality control of the seed supply chain as a whole, including transportation networks and storage at the end seller.
Uganda's certification and oversight of seeds has proven inadequate for ensuring that farmers obtain good quality inputs. Neither seed companies nor input shops are well regulated and market failures have emerged, meaning that the access to optimal quality seeds is still very limited.
Our project expands on the recent work of researchers looking at the quality of agricultural inputs in Africa. To diagnose where quality issues crop up in Uganda, we explored 21 varieties of maize across the supply chain. What we found is that quality, rather than genetic purity, appears to be the main problem. The results are consistent with mishandling and poor storage of seeds.
What our tests found
To collect a representative sample of seeds – as if an actual farmer would have purchased those seeds – we employed a mystery shopper approach. A well-trained team of enumerators self-identified as farmers and purchased seeds from a census of companies at all levels of the supply chain, across three districts in northern Uganda and the capital, Kampala.
The seed samples were then sent to testing facilities in Uganda for purity and performance examination. To identify how genetically similar the seeds were to each other (or in other words, to screen if any seed was adulterated or contaminated) the sample of seeds was shipped to a laboratory in Australia to test for genetic purity.
Seeds were tested on three main indicators. First were DNA tests for genetic purity. Second was a physical test for the percentage of the seed containing stones, dirt, or sand. Last came germination tests – defined as the percentage of seeds that can germinate normally under standard conditions. Vigour tests determined the percentage of seeds able to germinate under suboptimal conditions and after storage while moisture tests determine how much water has gotten into the seeds, which leads to lower quality germination.
We did not find evidence of serious seed adulteration by sellers. Instead, we find high levels of seed genetic and physical purity across all levels of the supply chain. Seed samples collected are genetically very similar to each other and on average presented good physical purity (above 99%), or good content of pure seeds (and absence of inert matter or dirt, sand, stones, sticks, and stems.
Poor handling
Results from tests of vigour and moisture content, combined with high levels of DNA similarity, lead us to believe that the causes of low quality are most likely due to poor management in the downstream levels of the supply chain (wholesalers and retailers) that create poor storage conditions.
Monitoring mechanisms, collective action by stakeholders, and further exploration on seeds during storage and transportation are key for better seeds. Although rules are in place, few resources are available for regulators, meaning that currently seed monitoring is almost non-existent.
On top of seed certification, implementing complementary mechanisms, such as regular quality control inspections, is key.
Future evidence is needed
A note of caution is needed for these results. We were only able to trace the supply chain of maize in one year, and across three districts (plus Kampala). The results are potentially limited in their application to other crops, years and districts. We are also limited in our sample size as we were only able to collect 120 samples in total.
A replication of this proof of concept is needed in different regions, seasons, and years to confirm the absence of counterfeit seeds more broadly. We also recommend further studies on the practices and conditions during seed storage and transportation. Future evidence is needed to determine conclusively what is driving low quality seeds in Uganda.
If the results we obtained can be generalised, it is possible they could significantly change the way policy makers approach the issue of low quality seeds in Uganda. If adulteration is not the problem, but instead storage and transportation are the major constraints to quality, money currently being spent on certification processes could be better spent. Future work will need to confirm this interpretation is in fact true.
Vatican's envoy to France facing 'sexual aggression' probe
By SAMUEL PETREQUIN
Associated Press
Friday, February 15
PARIS (AP) — The Paris prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into alleged "sexual aggression" by Catholic archbishop Luigi Ventura, the Vatican's envoy to France, according to French officials.
Confirming a report published by Le Monde newspaper on Friday, a judicial official and a spokesman at the Paris mayor's office said the police investigation targeting the apostolic nuncio came after a young male city employee claimed he was sexually molested inside the French capital's town hall.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to be named in media reports.
The Vatican said it found out about the investigation from media reports, adding that "the Holy See is awaiting the conclusions of the inquiry."
Ventura, who has been holding the post within the Holy See's global diplomatic corps since 2009, is suspected of having groped the buttocks of a young male employee at the Paris City Hall three times during a ceremony on Jan. 17.
Paris City Hall's press office told The Associated Press that the victim is a man in his 30s working for the town hall's international relations department. He was in charge of welcoming guests at the ceremony.
"He caressed and fondled his buttocks several times in front of witnesses," a spokesman at the City Hall told The Associated Press. "Our employee was very surprised and did not know what to do."
According to the spokesman, Ventura touched the employee three times over a period of about an hour before the young man left the ceremony after reporting the incidents to his superiors. The spokesman said Ventura didn't apologize.
Ventura, who was born in northern Italy near the city of Brescia, turned 74 in December. He was ordained in June 1969 and elevated to bishop's rank in March 1995. He was appointed nuncio to France in September 2009 by Pope Benedict XVI, a position regarded as a crowning achievement of a Vatican diplomatic career.
After serving as nuncio to Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Niger, he then held the position in Chile and Canada before landing the French post.
When he turns 75 in December 2019, he will be required, as all bishops are at that age under Vatican rules, to submit his resignation to Pope Francis, who can either accept it or let him stay on a little longer.
Ventura is the third Vatican diplomat accused of sexual wrongdoing. In June last year, the Vatican tribunal convicted Monsignor Carlo Capella of possession and distribution of child pornography and sentenced him to five years in prison. In 2013, the Vatican charged its then-ambassador to the Dominican Republic, Monsignor Jozef Wesolowski, with sexually abusing young boys. Wesolowski was defrocked by the Vatican's church court, but he died before the Vatican's criminal trial got underway.

The 'real' St. Valentine was no patron of love

On Feb. 14, sweethearts of all ages will exchange cards, flowers, candy, and more lavish gifts in the name of St. Valentine. But as a historian of Christianity, I can tell you that at the root of our modern holiday is a beautiful fiction. St. Valentine was no lover or patron of love.
Valentine's Day, in fact, originated as a liturgical feast to celebrate the decapitation of a third-century Christian martyr, or perhaps two. So, how did we get from beheading to betrothing on Valentine's Day?
Early origins of St. Valentine
Ancient sources reveal that there were several St. Valentines who died on Feb. 14. Two of them were executed during the reign of Roman Emperor Claudius Gothicus in 269-270 A.D., at a time when persecution of Christians was common.
How do we know this? Because, an order of Belgian monks spent three centuries collecting evidence for the lives of saints from manuscript archives around the known world.
They were called Bollandists after Jean Bolland, a Jesuit scholar who began publishing the massive 68-folio volumes of "Acta Sanctorum," or "Lives of the Saints," beginning in 1643.
Since then, successive generations of monks continued the work until the last volume was published in 1940. The Brothers dug up every scrap of information about every saint on the liturgical calendar and printed the texts arranged according to the saint's feast day.
The Valentine martyrs
The volume encompassing Feb. 14 contains the stories of a handful of "Valentini," including the earliest three of whom died in the third century.
The earliest Valentinus is said to have died in Africa, along with 24 soldiers. Unfortunately, even the Bollandists could not find any more information about him. As the monks knew, sometimes all that the saints left behind was a name and day of death.
We know only a little more about the other two Valentines.
According to a late medieval legend reprinted in the "Acta," which was accompanied by Bollandist critique about its historical value, a Roman priest named Valentinus was arrested during the reign of Emperor Gothicus and put into the custody of an aristocrat named Asterius.
As the story goes, Asterius made the mistake of letting the preacher talk. Father Valentinus went on and on about Christ leading pagans out of the shadow of darkness and into the light of truth and salvation. Asterius made a bargain with Valentinus: If the Christian could cure Asterius's foster-daughter of blindness, he would convert. Valentinus put his hands over the girl's eyes and chanted:
"Lord Jesus Christ, en-lighten your handmaid, because you are God, the True Light."
Easy as that. The child could see, according to the medieval legend. Asterius and his whole family were baptized. Unfortunately, when Emperor Gothicus heard the news, he ordered them all to be executed. But Valentinus was the only one to be beheaded. A pious widow, though, made off with his body and had it buried at the site of his martyrdom on the Via Flaminia, the ancient highway stretching from Rome to present-day Rimini. Later, a chapel was built over the saint's remains.
St. Valentine was not a romantic
The third third-century Valentinus was a bishop of Terni in the province of Umbria, Italy.
According to his equally dodgy legend, Terni's bishop got into a situation like the other Valentinus by debating a potential convert and afterward healing his son. The rest of story is quite similar as well: He too, was beheaded on the orders of Emperor Gothicus and his body buried along the Via Flaminia.
It is likely, as the Bollandists suggested, that there weren't actually two decapitated Valentines, but that two different versions of one saint's legend appeared in both Rome and Terni.
Nonetheless, African, Roman or Umbrian, none of the Valentines seems to have been a romantic.
Indeed, medieval legends, repeated in modern media, had St. Valentine performing Christian marriage rituals or passing notes between Christian lovers jailed by Gothicus. Still other stories romantically involved him with the blind girl whom he allegedly healed. Yet none of these medieval tales had any basis in third-century history, as the Bollandists pointed out.
In any case, historical veracity did not count for much with medieval Christians. What they cared about were stories of miracles and martyrdoms, and the physical remains or relics of the saint. To be sure, many different churches and monasteries around medieval Europe claimed to have bits of a St. Valentinus' skull in their treasuries.
Santa Maria in Cosmedin in Rome, for example, still displays a whole skull. According to the Bollandists, other churches across Europe also claim to own slivers and bits of one or the other St. Valentinus' body: For example, San Anton Church in Madrid, Whitefriar Street Church in Dublin, the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul in Prague, Saint Mary's Assumption in Chelmno, Poland, as well as churches in Malta, Birmingham, Glasgow, and on the Greek isle of Lesbos, among others.
For believers, relics of the martyrs signified the saints' continuing their invisible presence among communities of pious Christians. In 11th-century Brittany, for instance, one bishop used what was purported to be Valentine's head to halt fires, prevent epidemics, and cure all sorts of illnesses, including demonic possession.
As far as we know, though, the saint's bones did nothing special for lovers.
Unlikely pagan origins
Many scholars have deconstructed Valentine and his day in books, articles and blog postings. Some suggest that the modern holiday is a Christian cover-up of the more ancient Roman celebration of Lupercalia in mid-February.
Lupercalia originated as a ritual in a rural masculine cult involving the sacrifice of goats and dogs and evolved later into an urban carnival. During the festivities half-naked young men ran through the streets of Rome, streaking people with thongs cut from the skins of newly killed goats. Pregnant women thought it brought them healthy babies. In 496 A.D., however, Pope Gelasius supposedly denounced the rowdy festival.
Still, there is no evidence that the pope purposely replaced Lupercalia with the more sedate cult of the martyred St. Valentine or any other Christian celebration.
Chaucer and the love birds
The love connection probably appeared more than a thousand years after the martyrs' death, when Geoffrey Chaucer, author of "The Canterbury Tales" decreed the February feast of St. Valentinus to the mating of birds. He wrote in his "Parlement of Foules":
"For this was on seynt Volantynys day. Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese his make."
It seems that, in Chaucer's day, English birds paired off to produce eggs in February. Soon, nature-minded European nobility began sending love notes during bird-mating season. For example, the French Duke of Orléans, who spent some years as a prisoner in the Tower of London, wrote to his wife in February 1415 that he was "already sick of love" (by which he meant lovesick.) And he called her his "very gentle Valentine."
English audiences embraced the idea of February mating. Shakespeare's lovestruck Ophelia spoke of herself as Hamlet's Valentine.
In the following centuries, Englishmen and women began using Feb. 14 as an excuse to pen verses to their love objects. Industrialization made it easier with mass-produced illustrated cards adorned with smarmy poetry. Then along came Cadbury, Hershey's, and other chocolate manufacturers marketing sweets for one's sweetheart on Valentine's Day.
Today, shops everywhere in England and the U.S. decorate their windows with hearts and banners proclaiming the annual Day of Love. Merchants stock their shelves with candy, jewelry and Cupid-related trinkets begging "Be My Valentine." For most lovers, this request does not require beheading.
Invisible Valentines
It seems that the erstwhile saint behind the holiday of love remains as elusive as love itself. Still, as St. Augustine, the great fifth-century theologian and philosopher argued in his treatise on "Faith in Invisible Things," someone does not have to be standing before our eyes for us to love them.
And much like love itself, St. Valentine and his reputation as the patron saint of love are not matters of verifiable history, but of faith.

Last time I covered my departure from Christianity; now I'll talk about my conversion to Deism.
Actually, "conversion" is kind of a strong word; Deism is a lot more like a philosophy than a religion, i.e., there are no rituals, no holy books, no churches, no specific moral requirements. In fact, a lot of Deists don't agree with each other on everything, due to the understanding that every person must use his reason to identify truth.
Deism was the "religion of the Enlightenment," the period in Western civilization when human reason began to gain prominence as a source of knowledge and truth. Deists believe in God (as the Creator, or Prime Mover), but don't find sufficient evidence that he ever revealed himself through "special revelation," such as holy books, prophets, or other "inspired" information. They believe that God reveals himself equally to all people through his creation (the natural world) and through human reason, which he also gave us. Deists believe that God reveals his moral will to people through our reason and common sense, although our specific moral beliefs (like our languages) vary depending on our culture and history.
As a Deist, I believed that God's moral requirements were fundamentally to love your neighbor. I was no longer enslaved to an endless list of arbitrary rules that seemed to be added to all the time. I had peace about the afterlife for the first time; instead of dreading a judgment day that could send me to hell, I trusted that God would treat me justly, in light of my actions and motivations. (Note: not all Deists believe in an afterlife; opinions vary.) I was able to interact with people not based on an artificial divide of "Christian/non-Christian," but by viewing them as individuals, with strengths and weaknesses and good and bad motivations. I saw people as having both the capacity for good and for evil, which was formed by society and by the choices of their own free will. I didn't feel that I could judge anyone, because I couldn't know how God had revealed himself to them, or what their understanding and motivations were.
For the first time in a long time, I was at peace with myself and with God. The fear and guilt went away, and it was as if life had opened up a whole new world of possibilities.
Next time: why I started exploring Catholicism

Tzatziki sauce recipe: A creamy sauce for grilled meat, a dipping sauce for vegetables or us it as a healthy option for a dressing for your favorite salad!
Today's post is for a Tzatziki Sauce recipe goes by many names. Ive heard it called a cucumber sauce, a gyro sauce, greek yogurt dip, cucumber yogurt dip and even tatziki instead of the greek spelling of Tzatiki! What ever you want to call it, this tatziki sauce recipe is so versatile you will use it for so many things!
What Is Tzatziki Sauce?
Very commonly served on greek foods such as kabobs and gyros, it is a sauce made from greek yogurt with cucumbers, garlic, spices and lemon juice. In Greece it is usually served along side what they call mezzas. Which loosely translated means small plate appetizers.
Ingredients in Tzatziki Sauce
- Carrots
- Cucumber
- Greek Yogurt
- Greek Oregano
- Salt and pepper
- Lime juice
The tzatziki sauce is easy to make. Its just a few ingredients grated fresh carrots and cucumbers with garlic, lemon juice and greek yogurt. Greek Yogurt is ideal to use because it is already thickened. If you don't have access to greek yogurt you can sub traditional yogurt but you will need to use a mesh strainer to strain out the water.
Then to make the greek yogurt sauce you will just stir all of the ingredients together.(see below)
The flavor gets better if you allow them to meld for a little while. It isn't absolutely necessary, but if you have time make it in the morning or even the night before you are ready to serve it.
What can you serve with a Tzatziki Sauce Recipe?
- Grilled Lamb Chops
- Grilled coconut lime chicken skewersGrilled coconut lime chicken skewers.
- Beef Brisket Sliders.
- Spicy Beef Brisket SlidersSpicy Beef Brisket Sliders
- Greek Lamb Burgers (Air Fryer and grilled)
Tzatziki sauce works well to cool down spicy foods or as a flavor accompaniment.
Other options you could use these for are as a salad dressing, dipping sauce for fresh cut vegetables or even a dip for spicy wings instead of blue cheese or ranch dressing. (The calories are a little bit less too… Winning! ). I have on my list to try the sauce with these wings from Take Two Tapas Sriarcha Pineapple Wings Ive also got these Spicy Baked Chicken Strips from An Affair from the heart to use as a healthy dipping sauce option!
Having great sauce recipes gives you lots of options for entertaining! You can change a recipe completely but switching up the sauce or using sauces as dips. Check out some of my other sauces like this Chimichurri Sauce and this Avocado Dipping Sauce to weave into your entertaining menus!

The history of the 'doosra': Spinning cricket the other way

In Babylon A.D., the setting is in the very far future. Though, there's some CG part that I don't like, looked very unreal. You can see that part in the trailer.
We didn't even know the movie has comes to an end, the ending of the movie sucks. I don't like the story because I don't really know what is it talking about, the climax is just not climax. I gotto say that the plot is badly written.
What I like in the movie is it potrayed some of the future faces of New York City. Very cool, but you don't want to waste your money for the movie in the cinema.
Not recommended. Rent it or download it (illegally as you like).

FLORISSANT, Mo. – The St. Louis County Police Department is investigating a suspicious death Wednesday after an 87-year-old Florissant woman was found dead in her home.
According to Sgt. Benjamin Granda, a police spokesman, officers were called to a home in the 4300 block of Keevenshore Drive around 8:20 a.m. for an injury.

This is my very first blog post on a movie and this excites me just as much as fashion, beauty, and travel. In fact, many of you may not know but I come from a performing arts background. I used to study acting/theatre/music (I was about that audition life when I first moved to LA), this is so up my alley and feels like home! Also, I'm loving the sound of LIVE LOVE WATCH IT! I'd love to do more of these…first movie up, London Fields.
I don't want to give too much away (I mean I personally don't like spoiler alerts), so I'll keep it brief. London Fields is a thriller film about a beautiful woman, whom every man wants, but one man wants dead. This movie is based on Martin Amis' acclaimed novel and directed by Mathew Cullen.
All three men are pretty dangerous characters and under the spell of Nicola Six, played by Amber Heard. I think she is gorgeous, so this role fits her naturally. It's also one of my favorite roles I've seen her in, as of yet. She plays innocent yet sultry so well, and brings vibrance and style to the cinematography. Another lead in this is Billy Bob Thorton, who plays a terminally ill writer who has suffered from writers block for 20 years. This role is slightly differen from all the other roles we're used to seeing him play. He still has that dry humor thing going; however, I saw more of a dramatic side to him. The rest of the cast includes: Jim Sturgess, Theo James, Cara Delevingne, Jaimie Alexander, and Johnny Depp…yes, Johnny Depp is in it!
What I loved about the movie was the tone and aesthetics. I also loved that I actually didn't know what was going to happen in the end. I normally can predict the endings of movies, but this one had an interesting twist. Big screen movies are so fun, however, I also looove smaller/indie films. They're so interesting to watch, the stories are creative (they're not your traditional Hollywood style movies), and I just have an appreciation for them. I personally love to discover and hear about these movies. If you're into this style of film, are a fan of the cast, and looking for something new to watch on movie night, this is one to check out! If you do, I'd love to hear what you thought of the film! xx

Never underestimate coach Mark Dantonio and the Michigan State football program.
That message was delivered loud and clear last season. Aftera 3-9 campaign in 2016 and a tumultuous offseason, the Spartans were lightly regarding heading into last season. There was even talk that Dantonio might be on the hot seat.
All the Spartans did was finish 10-3, including victories over rival Michigan and Penn State, capped with a 42-17 thumping of Washington State in the Holiday Bowl.
With a return to prominence, the Spartans begin their 2018 season with lofty expectations. They open the season against Utah State at home on Friday with the No. 11 ranking and Big Ten championship aspirations. The two programs will be squaring off for the first time.
Dantonio's teams have traditionally been built around defense, but the Spartans should also be dynamic on offense. They have one of the conference's, if not the nation's, top quarterbacks in Brian Lewerke and a premier running back in LJ Scott.
Lewerke, a junior, threw for 20 touchdowns last season and completed 59 percent of his passes while getting picked off just seven times. He was also second on the team with 559 rushing yards and five more touchdowns.
Scott gained 898 yards on 201 carries (4.5 average) and scored eight touchdowns.
"I feel like we're a good enough offense to put a lot of points up, hopefully," Lewerke told the Detroit Free Press. "I know the offense like the back of my hand now. I can focus a lot more on what the defense is giving me. I trust all my guys to run all the right stuff.
"I can just be more calm and not think, 'Ah, man, I forgot what this guy is running, I've got to figure it out as he's running it.' It's more just be calm and have fun."
Overall, the Spartans return 19 position starters, tied for most in the nation, and 48 letterwinners.
That includes the team's top four tacklers, led by junior linebacker Joe Bachie, who racked up 100 last season along with 3 1/2 sacks and three interceptions.
Safety Khari Willis, a tri-captain along with Bachie and Lewerke, spearheads the secondary. The Spartans ranked second in rushing defense nationally and could be just as stingy this season with nine returning starters.
"We had a good camp," Bachie told the Detroit News. "Guys got through it healthy so that's a great thing. We have a bunch of smart players on defense, which helps a defense. Talking and being confident, that makes a good defense."
The Aggies hope to put up more resistance against a Big Ten team than they did last season, when they opened with a 59-10 loss at Wisconsin. They are 1-14 all time against Big Ten opponents.
Utah State finished at 6-7 after losing to New Mexico State 26-20 in the Arizona Bowl.
Experience will also be an asset for the Aggies this season. They have 18 starters back, nine on each side of the ball.
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Love appeared in 12 games as a redshirt freshman and started the last six. He completed 54.9 percent of his passes, including eight touchdowns, while getting picked off six times. His top target, senior Ron'quavion Tarver, hauled in seven touchdowns a year ago.
"He is going to be a better quarterback and the better people will play around him," coach Matt Wells said. "We've added some better wideouts around him. There is more talent and he has got an experienced offensive line, and that always gives a quarterback a sense of comfort and peace a little bit."
Senior linebacker Suli Tamaivena (team-high 111 tackles) tops a defensive unit that has eight of its top nine tacklers back.
"We're deeper in the front seven than we've been, even though we kind of leave camp right now a little banged up at linebacker," Wells said. "I think they're playing fast and with a lot of confidence right now."
Utah State will be playing in the state of Michigan for just the second time. Its last visit was in 1961 when it defeated Western Michigan 65-22 in Kalamazoo.
