THE BISHOP OF ASTI "offends" THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY FOR MONDANA PIACIONERIA, WHY DOES NOT KNOW THE HISTORY AND THE ISLAMIC CULTURE
"The council, met with Bishop Ravinale and Imam Latfaoui Abdessamad - the statement concludes - aims to create a meeting between the Muslim community and the Catholic community 15 August, at the Cathedral of Asti, all 10.30 on the occasion of the Solemnity of Mary Assunta, patron saint of the cathedral itself and very dear to the Muslim religion " [text of the press, WHO, WHO, etc. ..]
Today the Church commemorates the Martyrs of Otranto, killed by the Mohammedans in hatred of the Catholic faith 14 August 1480.
During the siege of Mohammedans, priests had taken refuge in the cathedral to pray with their Archbishop Stephen Pendinelli. In the cathedral were mostly women, Children and the elderly. The head of the army burst into the Muslim holy site by ordering the faithful to renounce their Christian faith, but receiving in response a rejection. Thus they were killed 813 Christians inside the cathedral became the first human in slaughterhouse, Then in the barn for horses as a sign of contempt for the sacred place.
The late Archbishop Stephen Pendinelli He invited their faithful to turn to God's mercy before death. The Archbishop was later slain on his episcopal throne, and torn to pieces by blows of scimitar. His severed head was hoisted on a pole and led by the Muslim soldiery around the city streets.
This, like many other similar incidents, It should be reminded by certain Catholic page, from Andrea Riccardi and the Community of Sant'Egidio, which recently organized a travel package from the island of Lesbos in Rome, returning the Holy Father at home with 12 Muslims [cf. WHO]. And here please note the symbolism, because the santegidini have prepared a travel package of 10, or 13 Muslims, But say 12 …
… They plucked some of the new Twelve Apostles?
together with santegidini, It should as soon as possible also instructed the increasingly dense army of ignorant Catholics who beat their breasts for the Crusades, and to which no one, starting from imbued with false black legends and history books, posthumous writings on ideologies of the French Revolution, He never explained ch'esse were not moves like wars of aggression, but for the defense of the Christian populations attacked by Muslims who offered two possibilities: the forced conversion, or death. And often, converted by force, They were still reduced in slavery. The Crusades were promoted by popes today venerated as saints and by the reputed at that time as the only means of self-defense of the Christian populations assaulted and passed for weapons from Jahad Islam [What this explained by John Cavalcoli OP in his latest article, cf. the 8 is S. WHO]. The legitimacy of the Crusades was explained and preached by many saints, venerated today by the Church, and particularly the people's devotion.
Today we made another leap of "quality", because by mediocre bishops of which already we miss, now we are moving to the ignorant bishops, in all historical and theological profiles. And these bishops, Hidden behind the laughable illusion of dialogue with "enemy" that there is invading and pretending to talk to us, They do not seem to realize that this terrible enemy tomorrow we fall down on their knees after making smart use of our weakness and of our democratic laws. These bishops do not seem to realize that for years is being vigil over the corpse of Europe was now advanced decomposition; a vigil began ever since the Supreme Pontiff John Paul II was repeatedly denied a request to insert a vague reference to the Christian roots of our old continent in the introductory preamble of the Constitution of Europe, not in the legislative text, but only in the introductory preamble, that has no value, and legal and constitutional constraints.
S. AND. Mons. Francesco Guido Ravinale It deserves a few words, because you run the risk of losing valuable time only that he should offer him a history "lesson", to follow below by a "lesson" to the correct Catholic doctrine, which evidently, the Archbishop Asti, although great master and guardian of the Truth, shows not to practice and pass on in accordance to the filing of our holy faith, including Mariology.
The gifts of sacramental grace of the Holy Spirit perfect nature, but does not compensate in any way the nature, culture and education that there is, how to teach the doctors Saints Church Bishop Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas. That said in other words is to say: sacramental grace of the fullness of the apostolic priesthood, He can not turn a donkey into a thoroughbred colt, with all due respect to that noble animal that is the ass, with a workforce such as to merit the historical appreciation of all Europe.
State with the backing of the bishop, that this charade yet another offers his own cathedral church, that the Blessed Virgin Mary "is very dear to the Muslim religion", What it is false and misleading; is authentic poison cyanide offered to the faithful under the false reassurance that it is instead a lovely liqueur produced by the pious hands of cloistered nuns.
Let us now see in what way wicked and blasphemous the religion of the false prophet Mohammed recognizes the figure of the Blessed Virgin Mary, that even with the backing of subjects such as the Bishop of Asti it would seem to constitute a point "common" of "union" between Christianity and Islam.
Mohammed says may Allah would marry in a mystical marriage to Madonna through the Archangel Gabriel, because the Blessed Virgin Mary was one of the four perfect women; so as such it could only be part of'harem heavenly of this subject liar and megalomaniac, who made a colossal and dangerous cut and paste from the main texts of Judaism and Christianity, drawing, in the second case, mainly from the texts of the Arian heretics; He has added beliefs drawn from ancient pagan religions, and it served for centuries to come a questionable and in fact dangerous mix. The wicked then Muhammad says that the Virgin Mary, His mystical bride, He is living in paradise nestled in a beautiful palace of gems close to that of Khadijah, the first of his wives [1].
Our theologians, in particular the mariologi, But even the Catholic faithful, including simple stuffed with reverence towards the Mater Dei, They are willing to accept this "wonderful" point "common union" with Islam, namely the Blessed Virgin Mary, who becomes one of several wives of this false prophet, and that ends up being placed as second prominent woman near the most important women of his harem heavenly? Rest of course open, from this moment to welcome any denials by the Bishop of Asti, whose task it will be to explain theologically - not humorally, let alone moving up pulses lèse-majesté —, I have misread the Koranic texts; texts used and taught, within which they are contained these "amenities" on Mater Dei ranging between impiety and blasphemy.
We pray to God and the Blessed Virgin that the Holy See prevents within this time a similar meeting in the Cathedral of Asti church during the sacred celebrations of the Assumption into heaven of Mary. And if S.It is. Mons. Francesco Guido Ravinale wants to bless the ropes with which soon will be hanged by the new colonizers Mohammedans now de-Christianized Europe, totally folded supreme hatred towards its Christian roots, that at least I do outside those sacred spaces within which the universal Church celebrates every day the Eucharistic Sacrifice, considered and judged by Muslims as the apotheosis of our "polytheistic paganism".
priests, deacons, religious, religious and Catholic faithful of Asti Perhaps they would do well not to attend this meeting within their Cathedral Church, because in this way they do not build bridges, but they break down the walls of defense so that the invaders can enter easily without making even minimal efforts, thanks to some of our bishops that after having made him scour the spaces of their future mosques - namely our churches -, the offer directly donated the keys to the city. All in the name of a dialogue with those who, XIV centuries, He lives and seeks to impose itself on the edge of the sword, as evidenced by the most advanced and ancient Christian communities wiped out by violence from all of North Africa and various other corners of the world; as evidence the painful and bloody recent history of our martyred Christian populations under the indifferent eyes of Europe, that in order not to deal with the reality it has run invented "moderate Islam aspirin" [cf. WHO].
The "moderate Islamists" are those that, the day they will have to answer to the call of the tribe and kill us, try to do it in a way that does not make us suffer too.
In the report of the Archbishop of Smyrna speech in Turkey, S. AND. Mons. Giuseppe Bernardini, Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, held at the Synod of Bishops for Europe, held in 1999, It contains this passage that should make us reflect a lot:
"In a Catholic monastery in Jerusalem there was a domestic Arab Muslim. kind and honest person, He was highly esteemed by the religious who were reciprocated. One day, sadly, He said to them: "Our leaders got together and decided that all infidels should be killed, but you do not be afraid, because I will kill you without making you suffer ".
The Archbishop of Izmir He clarified and explained that one should not confuse the fanatical minority by the majority of peaceful and honest Muslims, but it was also very clear in explaining that the latter, the first order given to them in the name of Allah or the Koran, they would not hesitate a moment to obey. And since they had always been our friends, as they had lived and lived with us until the day before and as they had learned to love each other, for this reason they will kill us without us suffer, showing in this way their sincere affection and their human compassion.
S. AND. Mons. Francesco Guido Ravinale with his gesture is offensive to surviving family members of our faithful devotees killed by Islamists in Syria and in other corners of the world, as well as show itself unable to listen to his brother Bishops of those regions who know the situation and are launching unnecessarily long warning and exhortation to all the clergy who continue undeterred to live in world of fairy tales and oneiric dialogue :
"I lost my diocese. The physical location of my ministry has been occupied by Islamic radicals who want converted or dead […] you think that men are all the same, but it is not true. Islam does not say that all men are equal. Your values are not their values. If you do not understand in time, become victims of the enemy that you welcomed into your home ».
S. AND. Mons. Amel Miss – Archbishop of Mosul [cf. WHO]
The Bishop of Asti and various other his brother Bishops of dialogue at all costs, They should ask an urgent question and seriously, who is this: "I November, with whom we are conversing?». Or maybe they, receiving a suburban imam with four of his followers, they really think … dialogue with Islam? They are so superficial point and naive to think that a suburban imam is a "Islamic bishop" in full communion with the "Supreme Pontiff of Islam" that from its "curia Mohammedan" Governa Mecca of the World Islam? Do they really think that the approach to Islam, which it is the quintessence of fragmentation - as it has already explained in his article S.It is. the Bishop of Laodicea Combusta [cf. WHO] - It may be the same as that for several decades we have with Protestants, that even though divided into hundreds of different religious groupings, They have formed the World Evangelical Alliance and other federations? If we dialogue with a patriarch or an Orthodox Metropolitan, we know, man, who represents; if we dialogue with an evangelical pastor, we know, man, who represents; if we dialogue with an Anglican bishop, we know, man, who represents. But if to exorcise our fears and escape dall'orrida reality that hangs over us, November "dialoghiamo" with a suburban imam, man, outside of himself and of the four followers who accompany him, who represents? Which one, of varied and fragmented Islam, is the Imam tomorrow, in the Cathedral of Asti, assist in that rite "politeista" and "pagano" that we "faithless" We call Eucharistic Sacrifice?
The only Islam that he represents that is quell'Islam, to Christians living in various Arab countries and not only Arabs, denies the fullness of civil rights, denies the possibility of access to certain places of employment, It denies the possibility of having places of worship, It denies the possibility of preserving religious texts … And we're not talking about the fundamentalist Islamists, but the generality of Islamic countries. Here is described Islam that is the one that tomorrow, with his followers, He will visit the Cathedral of Asti for the Solemnity of Mary of the Assumption. Represents Islam to which we, with the hope of our bishops, unaware of both the mutual respect both of reciprocity, we are going to have to build a chain of mosques in Italian territory.
Because the brave episcopo Asti, do not take this opportunity to ask this high "representative" of "Islamic world", in "Communion" col "Islamic Pope", You can promote the opening of a Catholic church in the capital of Saudi Arabia? And the response you receive, He will immediately understand how Islam has dialogued and is talking. He will understand that they have spoken with a lot quell'Islam "moderate" that with all the moderation of the case it requires having a large mosque in Rome and other mosques scattered throughout the territory of our country, but never even allow the construction of a chapel of 20 square meters in Riyadh, where the only two Masses celebrated Christmas and Easter, They are celebrated in two areas benefiting under international law of extraterritoriality diplomatic arrangements: the embassies of Italy and France.

DIY Leafy Garden Stepping Stones
Do you have stepping stones in your yard? I've seen so many varieties, but can't ever seem to commit to a design or pattern, color or style. But as soon as I saw this DIY project I knew I'd met my match.
All it requires is one of nature's best patterns – the leaf! The end look is organic and artsy, the perfect pairing. It's tough to go wrong when the main material is free. Add a few more elements and your garden pathway is transformed into something fresh and beautiful.
You'll need Google Translator to convert the Swedish DIY from Hemmariket (about halfway down the page), but it's worth your time and a little effort – your yard will thank you!

Well, here's an interesting new collaboration… Modest Mouse unveiled a new song live at Isaac Brock's house last week and now we not only have confirmation that an album is in the works, but news that Big Boi is along for the ride as well: "Been camped out in the Lab with Modest Mouse all week, workin on the new mouse LP, coolest cats ever," the Outkast co-leader said on Twitter today (via). "Long Live The Funk."
Aside from a recent mention that he was listening to the band's 2003 Good News for People Who Love Bad News single "The World at Large," Big Boi and producer Chris Carmouche's latest collaboration comes as somewhat of a surprise. Perhaps they hit it off during the weekend of last year's Pitchfork Festival, where both acts performed headlining sets. Either way, it looks like they've filled their former guitarist Johnny Marr's big shoes as a guest star quite well.
There's no word yet on whether Big Boi is producing, performing, or both on the record, but this will definitely be a fun project to watch take shape in coming months. (via 24 bit)

This is a new release of OrientDB RESTful API in Mathematica, enhanced with new commands such as addIndex, addInstance and addEdge used especially in Graph Database modeling. Most important the functional set of API commands is built in a concise and succinct way. Database operations are now grouped in four main categories, GET, UPDATE, DELETE, and ADD, a.k.a. (GUDA), that resemble Create, Read, Update, and Delete, a.k.a. (CRUD), major functions that are implemented in relational database applications. The number of functional arguments have been also significantly revised and classified as optional and mandatory depending on the command that they are applied.
The implementation of the package is based on the HTTP RESTful SQL commands of OrientDB. The Mathematica API project, can be extended to cover also the programming operations of other DBMS, in an analogy of the functional patterns and operations of this package.
These are a few CRUD examples that are transformed to GUDA in order to compare the functional with the declarative form of SQL operations.
# Create bidirectional linking, i.e. association
CREATE EDGE isOwnerOf FROM 12:0 TO 16:0
ODBapi[com->"addEdge", class->"isOwnerOf", from->"12:0", to->"16:0"]
# Read records with projection and filtering
SELECT @rid, DOB FROM Person WHERE lastName="Smith"
ODBapi[com->"getRecords", prjkt->"@rid, DOB", class->"Person", propnam->"lastName", propval->"Smith"]
# Update with restrictions
UPDATE Person set age=57 WHERE age<60
ODBapi[com->"updValues", class->"Person", propnam->"age", propval->"57 where age<60"]
# Delete all the records of a class (table, vertex, document, ....)
DELETE VERTEX Person
ODBapi[com->"delRecords", class->"Person", all->"True", construct->"VERTEX"]
The DBAPI application project is open source and free. You are most welcome to contribute in the Github repository of the project that can be found here
Download the latest release of DBAPI from here
Download and run this Mathematica Notebook code to test the installation of the package
The OrientDB API Package can be tested with Demo 1-Test API Commands and Demo 3-Schemaless vs Schemafull Operations Notebooks.
This functional RESTful API can be served as a prototype for a uniform, universal treatment of data language (UDL) that will be independent of the DBMS implementation. Commands and parameters can become more efficient and execution can be simplified if we take on account the hierarchical relationship of Server, Database, Class, Property and Record containers. We foresee that it will be far more intuitive, user-friendly, and easier to program with a functional style than the declarative commands of its SQL ancestor.

The grant will be used to boost Coventry's arts and culture scene and help fund significant improvements to the city's major venues and production facilities, all in time for 2021.
Coventry City Council is set to accept a grant from Arts Council England, which will be used to invest in the city ahead of 2021.
The £8.51m grant, which was originally outlined in the Government's 2018 Autumn Budget, will be used to boost Coventry's arts and culture scene and will help fund significant improvements to some of the city's major venues and production facilities.
This investment from the government, which is managed by Arts Council England, brings the total grant funding to transform the city centre and create a legacy for local people ahead of Coventry being UK City of Culture to £55 million.
The Arts Council grant will support a number of exciting projects including the work to refurbish the auditorium at the Belgrade Theatre, work to improve the visitor experience at Coventry Cathedral and plans for St Mary's Guildhall, Draper's Hall and the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum.
Cllr George Duggins, Leader of Coventry City Council, said: "As I said when this funding was announced last year, this is truly fantastic news for our city.
"It will help to ensure that some of our most loved buildings benefit from a cash boost which will enable them to thrive for many years to come.
"By establishing creative centres, we will ensure that we provide opportunities to the fantastic up-and-coming talent we have within our city. And provide a legacy that will last long after our year in the spotlight.
"Our reign as the UK City of Culture has always been about more than those 12 months, it's about investing in our future and creating a meaningful legacy for our communities.
"These are really exciting times for Coventry and I'm very excited about all that is planned."
The work forms part of the City Readiness Programme, which aims to prepare Coventry for its year as the UK City of Culture in 2021 and to ensure that its impact is felt by future generations.
Cllr Duggins continued: "The CWLEP was the first to step in and offer a grant for our year as City of Culture and we have gone on to secure millions more to ensure we maximise all of the opportunities on offer."
Rebecca Pow, Arts Minister, said: "We have seen the truly transformative effect that City of Culture had on Hull in 2017 and Coventry has already embraced this prestigious title.
"The city is demonstrating how the arts and heritage can bring people and communities together and this government funding will allow the city to invest in an exciting and inclusive programme for 2021."
Peter Knott, Area Director, Arts Council England, said: "This marks a significant milestone in the run-up to Coventry's year as UK City of Culture in 2021. It will be exciting to see this investment transform the city centre and many of its major venues and facilities. In the longer term, it will also help bring Coventry's communities together as they celebrate their city and will secure Coventry's place on an international platform."
Jonathan Browning, chair of the CWLEP, said: "It is less than 18 months until Coventry is UK City of Culture and its vital preparations continue to ensure the city is ready to welcome visitors from across the UK and the globe which this grant will help to achieve.
"Culture and tourism are one of the CWLEP's strategic priorities since 40,000 people are employed in the industry in Coventry and Warwickshire and it is growing more than twice as fast as the national average.
"This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the area on a world-wide stage to attract visitors not only during the UK City of Culture but to make return visits since our area has so much to offer."
The plans will go to Cabinet on August 27 and then to Council on September 3 for approval.

NEW YORK — The nation's manufacturing sector grew at a slower pace during October, boosted by rising orders but increasingly feeling the strain of a continuing rise in energy and raw materials prices.
The Institute for Supply Management, which issued its monthly report on the U.S. economy's industrial sector Tuesday, said its manufacturing index was at 59.1 percent last month, down from September's 59.4 percent.
"Rising prices and energy costs in particular, are of major concern as manufacturers are struggling to control costs," Norbert Ore, chair of the ISM's business survey committee. The Washington, D.C.-based ISM compiles its monthly economic reports from surveys of corporate purchasing executives.
One executive who took part in the October survey told of the "most price increase letters I have ever seen" while another respondent expressed concern about "the price of oil and its effect on the future prices of commodities."

LONDON — This would be much easier if one of the rivals were an obnoxious French guy. Or better yet: A Russian, Hollywood style, circa 1984. Picture Ivan Drago in a Speedo declaring poolside for the NBC cameras, "I must break you!"
Instead, the central storyline in the London Games for Team USA, the two swimming rivals that will dominate coverage for the first week, are … Olympic Village suitemates?
Spades partners?
So forget any lingering animosity or trash talk to make this juicier. Michael Phelps might be poised to become the most decorated Olympian ever, but the fact that he now has a talented and charismatic American to beat to get there, he insists, is inconsequential.
And Ryan Lochte might be ready to steal these Games — and a few dozen more magazine covers — but the fact he has to out-swim the man who won eight gold medals four years ago to do that, he swears, creates no friction between them.
"I don't really have any enemies," Lochte said today, practically yawning at the question. "Michael is my competitor. Me and him have created a great rivalry, but at the same time, we've created a great friendship. And win or lose, after the race, we're still going to be friends."
Friends or enemies, they'll be the focus on Day 1 of the Games, and it would be hard to imagine a more compelling start in London: Phelps and Lochte will go head to head in the 400 IM, and there is a good chance that the man who went a perfect 8-for-8 in China will end up with a medal hue he hasn't seen in a while.
Then, five days later, on Thursday night, they'll do it again in the 200 IM, which Phelps won by a scant .16 seconds at the swim trials in Omaha. It'll be the most anticipated event of the Games, and the man standing at the top of the medal stand figures to be London's top American star.
This is good for the sport, of course. As compelling as it was to see Phelps top Mark Spitz in Beijing, there was something almost mechanical about the chase, something almost too perfect. It took a few unflattering snapshots of Phelps holding a bong at a college party to remember that he was young and human (and, apparently, really stoned).
Lochte not only has helped motivate Phelps, re-energizing his training after a couple of stinging defeats, but he's humanized him, too. We know that Phelps can be beat now. If he walks away unbeaten again — he'll compete in seven races this time — his greatness will be unrivaled.
Not that he has anything to prove. He could have retired after Beijing and never dipped a toe into the pool again, but like most great athletes, he's not wired that way. It was funny to listen to him respond to the criticism from teammate Tyler Clary, who said earlier this month that "it's a real shame" Phelps' work ethic didn't match his considerable talent.
Phelps has 14 gold medals — we should all be such a slacker. Phelps insisted he would let his swimming do the talking, but like Michael Jordan in his prime, he wasn't going to let any criticism go unnoticed.
"People can say and do whatever they want," he said today. "That's fine. I've gotten to where I am today by working hard and I know that. I'm very happy with my career and what I've done throughout it."
If it was Clary trying to climb onto Phelps' throne, NBC could turn the entire Olympics into a mini-series. Alas, Lochte is so laid-back that, when Clary stood in front of the team to apologize for creating a firestorm, Lochte had to ask his teammates what happened.
Of course, the carefully crafted surfer-dude image that helped Lochte earn his own stable of corporate sponsorships isn't entirely accurate, either. He committed himself to his own rigorous training program after what he considered a disappointing performance in Beijing, eliminating fast food from his diet and tossing beer kegs instead of draining them.
The reward was not just catching Phelps, but passing him — he was named World Swimmer of the Year in 2010 and '11, breaking Phelps' four-year reign. This gives swimming a head-to-head rivalry that tennis had when Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were dueling at the prime, and one that golf has always craved between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.
At least Tiger and Phil hate each other. For Phelps and Lochte, the rivalry stops when they step out of the pool. When they're in the water, though, what happens between them could steal these Olympics.

Reality show '16 and Pregnant' reduced teen births, study says
A new study concludes that the MTV show "16 and Pregnant" reduced teenage births by nearly 6% in the year and a half after the show started airing, countering concerns that the popular show has glamorized teen motherhood.
Teen motherhood has plummeted over the last two decades, hitting a record low last year. Advocacy groups believe sex education and the economic downturn have helped bring down the numbers, but researchers had yet to examine whether pop culture was also steering teens away from parenthood.
By analyzing Google searches, Twitter and Nielsen ratings and comparing them to teen birth rates in different parts of the country, researchers from Wellesley College and the University of Maryland concluded that the hit show also had a powerful role in reducing teen births.
In a working paper for the National Bureau of Economic Research, they found that areas that had higher MTV viewership when "16 and Pregnant" started airing had faster drops in teen births. The reality show also spurred more Google searches and tweets about birth control, hinting at what teens were thinking.
All in all, the study concluded that the show ultimately led to a 5.7% reduction in teen births, which accounted for nearly a third of the drop in teenage births between June 2009 and the end of 2010.
Television is "a pretty powerful mechanism" for showing teens what parenthood is like, said Wellesley College economics professor Phillip Levine, coauthor of the study. "You can have a middle-aged teacher telling teens about it in a classroom -- or you can see firsthand how people's lives change."
Though the show seems to have turned teens away from parenthood, the larger reason behind the "staggering drop" in birth rates was the recession, researchers found. Teen abortion rates fell during the same period that births were dropping, suggesting that increased abortion wasn't behind the change.
The MTV show and others like it "should be seen as key parts of 21st century sex education," National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy CEO Sarah Brown said in a statement Monday.
"This exciting new research from respected economists … provides powerful new evidence of how media can shape behavior in positive ways," Brown said.
The New York Times, which had access to the paper before it was released Monday, reported that other researchers had reviewed the study and found its conclusions to be sound. One called the findings "substantial."
"Overall I think the study is really rigorously done," Northwestern University associate professor Diane Schanzenbach told the Los Angeles Times. "And I think it's going to make an impact in the field."
Earlier studies have raised concerns about the messages sent by such shows. For instance, one survey of 185 Midwestern high school students found that more frequent viewers of "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom" were more likely to think teen mothers could easily find child care and complete high school.
"The more often they watched these shows, the more likely they were to subscribe to the idea that it was pretty easy being a teen mom," said Indiana University Bloomington assistant professor Nicole Martins, coauthor of that study. She had yet to read the new study, but found the results surprising.
Martins also questioned whether the results would be the same if researchers had examined the effects of a different show, saying that "16 and Pregnant" showed more of the turmoil surrounding parenthood than other, similar shows.
Levine was confident that the study showed a real and powerful cause-and-effect. "We're not basing our conclusions on attitudes," he said. "We actually have behavior we're measuring."

On Friday, I wrote about a Groupon deal to resell iPads minis (first generation). Here are a couple of updates:
On Friday, I wrote about a Groupon deal to resell iPads minis (first generation). Here are a couple of updates:
- The deal was extended for another 10 days!
- I'm not sure why, but my order was cancelled. I'll have to rebuy today
- I can confirm that Mr. Rebates portal did indeed payout 8% on Friday.
Unfortunately, the payout went down to 6% now :(
- Here are some new options for portals and ways to pay
- Portals
- Mr. Rebates, Be Frugal and Ebates are all paying a solid 6% ($54). Mr. Rebates did not pay out 8% for any taxes. That should be the same for all of them.
- Silly me, I forgot about Discover! Discover Deals is 5% on Groupon. When that gets doubled after 13 months, that would be a whopping 10% payout ($90)!
- You can apply for a Discover card from anyone's referral link and you will earn $50 now and $50 at the end of 13 months. Your referrer will get the same. If you get referred, make sure to refer your spouse for your 2nd card.
- Here is my referral link, feel free to comment with your own referral links.
- Ways to Pay
- If you are using Discover Deals, I recommend using your Discover card. You are more likely to get a manual adjustment if there is a problem later.
- Big Habitat mentioned a great idea. You can buy Groupon eGift cards at Staples with your Chase Ink to get 5x Ultimate Rewards (delivered the next day) and then come back through a portal to get your 6% or 10%. You can also buy Groupon Gift Cards at the Supermarket for Fuel Points or on eBay through Paypal Digital Gifts and you should get 5x Chase Ink points and 1.1% from Top Cashback and qualify for more eBay Bucks as well. Wow, that's pretty amazing!

As Israel left Egypt and headed towards the Promised Land, God led them through the wilderness to teach them to trust Him. He used the wilderness as a training ground to improve the character of His people. In the wilderness, Israel lacked sufficient water, they missed the Egyptians cuisine and they resented their leader. Israel was constantly disappointed and they allowed their disappointments to control their destiny. We can learn a better way.
In life there are three common disappointments. If we can identify these areas early, then perhaps we won't fall into the trap Israel did. First is disappointment with things. The toys our kids just had to have last Christmas are now stacked in the closet and the kids are on a quest for bigger and better stuff. Things are great, but they break and rust, and if we aren't careful we will begin to be controlled emotionally by them. Things can enhance our lives but they can never totally satisfy.
Second is disappointment with events. Reservations are lost, jets delayed, hotel rooms are smaller than we expected and the kids are bored with the selection of TV stations. Most of us need a vacation after the vacation. We plan a date with the wife and the babysitter cancels at the last minute and leaves us at home disappointed. Events have a way of falling apart, and if we aren't careful we become frustrated and bitter because "it just never works out."
Third is disappointment with people. People let us down, they cop out, they don't follow through and then they criticize us for not being more understanding. You loan out money or a lawn mower and never see it or the person again. People just have a way of falling short of our expectations. The trick is not to let our disappointment make us cynical, for then we will forever be caught in a vicious cycle.
These common disappointments test our reactions, our attitudes, our faith and our character. Like Israel whom God lead into the wilderness where they faced disappointments, we too face daily disappointment that test our character. The question is do we see God in the common disappointments of life or do we just become frustrated and anxious?
Israel's response to a lack of water or a delay in the journey was to gripe, grumble and criticize. That kind of response is called immaturity. One minute Moses is their hero, the next minute he is a zero. Israel reminds me of children who quickly forget the labor and love of a parent. Did you know the average homemaker prepares 30,000 meals and makes 40,000 beds in a lifetime? Have you ever taken this for granted? I know I have.
Our life is not meant to be controlled by "things, events and people." Life is a gift we have from God. In life, we make the choice to be happy or miserable. God gives us a free will to embrace what we will face today with either excitement or dread. What we do with things, events, and people is up to us. If we choose to make the best of them, we will begin to develop the character that God is looking for in each of us.
Today don't be fooled by disappointments, rather look at them as opportunities to develop good character. All of life is a decision. What choice will you make today?

Fashionable Hair is a must. However, some people think, rather mistakenly, that hair is just hair. That it is not considered a part of fashion or the fact that it is not a sort of fashion in itself. But that is obviously incorrect, as hair has become a way for one to show his or her unique style. And speaking of hair and fashion…this fall is seeing a renaissance in hairstyles, either by bringing back the old and keeping the current trends that are out there. That said, here are the hairstyles and trends that are very much in.
Current Hairstyle Trends
The Mod Look
Sixties hair is making a huge comeback, and not just the hippie, let-your-hair-down style itself. Basically, the trends and styles that defined the early part of the sixties–the Vidal Sassoon cut, the pixie cut, the slightly pouffed-up beehive, the classic Brigitte Bardot look, and the bangs-and-volume look. The mod trend has already invaded the runways at fashion shows, and as an end result has received very good reception. The thing with the mod trend is that it is very flexible and that there is something for every girl. It also gives them an edge that cannot be replicated in any other way.
The Preppy Look
This hair trend's main feature is the ponytail, which is one hairstyle that will not be going out of fashion anytime soon. Traditionally worn up and tied with a cute ribbon, it has certainly evolved over the years. The runways at Altuzarra, for example, had a low-lying ponytail, and that seems to be the rage at the majority of all runways for their Fall/Winter lines. The low ponytail is also good because there is not much maintenance involved in keeping it in place, as opposed to the classic high, bouncy ponytail.
Another preppy hair style is not a hairstyle per se, but is in fact an accessory: the headband. There is a rise in jeweled, elaborately beaded headbands, and the way these non-conventional headbands are designed, they make others take a second look at your hair.
The Laid Back Look
Mermaid waves also took a big splash (no pun intended) at Fall/Winter runway shows this year. This hairstyle was also very big and popular in spring, but it is good that it is back for fall as well. The focuses of mermaid waves are random placement and a great deal of tousling! They are extremely perfect for girls with long hair, but it is important to note that a girl's long locks require just as much precise care as Tiffany jewelry. But that care does pay off in the end, because mermaid waves evoke a carefree, au naturel look.

The major airports in Australia and some overseas countries, such as New Zealand and the USA, are assisted in their passenger mobilities by dedicated teams of volunteers who are generally referred to as airport ambassadors. These volunteer ambassadors play an important role in the daily functioning of major airport terminals by providing assistance and information to the mobile public as they transit through the sophisticated socio-technical systems that comprise the airport terminal.
Non-commercial interfacing with the travellers and visitors in the public spaces and some secure areas of the airport terminals is conducted by the volunteers under the supervision of each airport's management. My study is investigating the psychological effects of the airport terminal (treated as a geographical place) on the ability of the volunteers to carry out their roles and upon their daily lives. The incidence of the effect of 'place' on the volunteers is being investigated as is the impact of it on the operation of a major airport terminal. In doing so, in my thesis I will also debate the perception of airports being placeless entities in the light of the involvement or otherwise of those working within the terminal space of the airports.
During April last year I spent 10 days immersed with the volunteers of Adelaide Airport and closely observed the volunteer ambassadors as I accompanied them during their sometimes-exciting shifts. I watched assistance being given to unfamiliar travellers who sometimes had little or no English and witnessed the machinations by the volunteers to establish the cause of stress in the intended or just arrived traveller which were at times quite enlightening. One of the simplest questions "do you have your travel documents with you?" sometimes became a complexity of hand signals and miming to get the message across. On occasions it was possible to secure the services of a translator from airport or airline staff, in one instance a passing traveller took notice of the situation and recognised the language of the distressed traveller and came to their aid.
During my series of interviews there was an interesting comment from a Mandarin speaking volunteer when I raised the spectre of a possible terrorist event in the terminal, the response was
"I feel comfortable in my role, but I can't say it's secure because you know there is the terrorism. The terrorist always happen in the airport. Sometimes you have to be suspicious about people who leave luggages or like who phone call in the place not allowed, electronic device to be suspicious about those things"
and further
"Yes, because a lot of terrorism things is happening in the airport and like, for me, I feel like, I from China where we have more strict security check in country's airports …. Well, the army will involve the airport. Yes, but here we have just the security people, just policeman. For me I need to be suspicious because the culture of the environment is different. I feel secure, I just feel like you need to be aware."
These comments from a single volunteer made me more aware of some of the stresses that the volunteers are subjected to and gave me an insight into an international comparison between Australian security standards and those in place in some overseas airports. I also became conscious that the airport volunteer ambassadors cannot be the solvers of all problems but in the long run they are able to fix most situations with and sometimes without, third party assistance.
The operation of the airport terminal is becoming increasingly electronically sophisticated. The constant technological advancements appear to impact upon irregular travellers who have not previously experienced these new technologies. The frustration of the travellers with the equipment transfers onto the volunteers even though it is not their role to assist at equipment such as self check-in kiosks. This transfer of frustration is yet another aspect of the terminal environment that I will be investigating with two on-line surveys.
My research is being assisted by the 'inside knowledge' that I have gained during the 30 odd years that I have been working in and around airports as a supplier of a broad range of sophisticated technical equipment. During those years I have been involved in the airfield (where aircraft land), on the apron (where the aircraft park to load and unload passengers) and within the airport terminal. Although I was not aware while it was happening, I now know that I was gaining a unique insight into the management and operation of airports. This insight, when combined with my experiences as a volunteer and as a manager of volunteers enables me to have in some ways, a uniquely learned approach to my research.

I am suffering a pinot noir crisis. In the old days, which weren't that long ago, there were two kinds of pinot noir — red Burgundy from France and New World pinot noir from Oregon and California. They didn't exactly taste alike, but at least they had something in common — they were made with just pinot noir, had low alcohol, low tannins and reasonably subtle fruit flavors (though the New World wines were more fruity than the French).
Today, pinot noir is all over the place. There are high alcohol pinots, some at 15 percent and more. There are blended pinots, some with as much as one-quarter syrah or grenache (a development that led to the Great Pinot Noir scandal last year). There are tannic pinots that taste like cabernet sauvignon. And there are incredibly fruity pinots, like Mark West and Cycles Gladiator, that are perfectly fine save for the fact that they don't taste like traditional pinot.
I'm acutally in quite a metaphysical quandary about this. If one believes, as I do, that people should drink what they want, then I have no right to criticize their choice in pinot noir. Yet these wines are not pinot noir as I know them. What's a wine writer to do?
For the time being, drink the La Posta (about $15, purchased, available at Central Market). That it is from Argentina makes it unusual enough, but so does the fact that it inhabits the middle ground between traditional and new-style pinot noirs. It doesn't have all the fruit of the latter, but it also doesn't have the earthiness and subtlety of the former. It's also a bit thin, which is more of a function of its price — $15 is practically giving pinot away these days. Drink this with lighter-style red meat, and even salmon and roast chicken.

If you've been following my blog closely then you'll know that I absolutely love The Elder Scrolls. My first Elder Scrolls game was Morrowind. I saw through all the flaws that game had and managed to love it more then I did any other game at the time. So how does Skyrim compare to other Elder Scrolls games? Lets find out.
In The Elder Scrolls you sort of make up your story as you progress through the game. Skyrim has a story but no one will have the same playthrough of any Elder Scrolls game. The game starts off with you being transported to Helgen for your execution. You have no idea what you've done just like in previous Elder Scrolls games, but you know it must be bad if you're being executed. Visually, Skyrim is much different to look at then Oblivion. Oblivion was a lively, colorful world while Skyrim on the other hand has a more shaded out world. On max settings the game is beautiful even without mods. The character models in the game are a step up from Oblivion but when compared to other games they're a bit on the weak side. The character creator is great. It always takes me at least an hour to create a character because I edit every single part of them until they're perfect in my eyes.
The first thirty minutes of actual gameplay in Skyrim is actually quite linear as you're lead through Helgen bound by rope while trying to outrun a dragon that's decimating the city. You'll be lead to a choice on who you'll want to go with to progress through the tutorial dungeon of the game. After you complete the dungeon is where the game really begins. Once you're outside you can literally go wherever you want and do whatever your heart desires. Do want to be a thief that goes around robbing stores after they close? Or are you a law abiding citizen that's trying to make an honest living by hunting deer in the woods and selling off their pelts for whatever price you can get them for?
There is a lot of content in this game. You can be a powerful mage that leads a guild, you can be a werewolf, a vampire lord, a master assassin for the Dark Brotherhood, you can kill dragons and absorb their souls for awesome words of power that you can use to slow up time or blast your enemies with dragon's fire. You can buy your own home so you'll have a place to store your sweet loot in and get ready for another adventure. Do you like reading? If you do you can sit down in a chair and read a good book based off of this amazing world that Bethesda has created. In what other game can you do all of this?
Skyrim has completely dropped character classes and replaced them with a new system. Instead of choosing your main and secondary skills like you did in every Elder Scrolls game before it you can just play the game however you want. If you want to be a mage then just start burning things to death with your flames spell to level up your destruction magic. If you want to be a warrior then just run into battle and kill everything in sight. The choice is completely up to you. The restrictions has been lifted and I think that's a good thing. Skyrim also has a new perk system now. Every time you level up you'll get to choose to increase your health, stamina, and magicka. Once you've selected which one you want you'll be taken to your perk tree. You can invest in your Conjuration skill so you can be a master Necromancer, or how about investing in your Sneaking skill tree so you can be harder to detect. You don't like that either? How about investing in Smithing so you can craft various different types of weapons and armor.
You can create your own weapons and armor now. You will no longer find common bandits rocking Ebony Armor. You'll have to go out and find the ingredients yourself and make it from scratch. Some of the things that were available in previous Elder Scrolls games are no longer present here. You can no longer create your own magic spells anymore. When I first realized that I couldn't create spells I was really disappointed but then I thought about it. All of the spells in previous games all looked the same anyway so even though my created spell had a new name it was still the same looking spell I had just got rid of. Levitating has been gone since Morrowind so it makes no sense to bash the game for not putting that back in the game.
The arena was a very fun side quest to go on in Oblivion that sadly didn't make it into Skyrim. I still think it would be awesome to have an arena to test my skills out in. The factions in older games were more engaging then in this one. The voice acting has gotten a lot better but the questlines in the factions are weaker in my opinion and obviously since this game is so big it's going to have a few bugs. Once I killed a dragon and didn't get a dragon soul from it. Another time I tried to cast a spell that didn't want to work for me. That's about as bad as it got for me personally. My Skyrim experience has been very smooth and I have very little to complain about in terms of glitches.
The best part about this game by far is just walking around the massive world that Bethesda has created for us. I would regularly stop to take in the view. Skyrim has everything from grassy plains to harsh snowy tundra. It's filled with caves, mines, forts, run down watchtowers, and more. Another really awesome feature that's been added in the game are dragons. At any random time after you encounter your first dragon you can be attacked by dragons. It doesn't matter if you're in a town, or just wandering around Skyrim a dragon can swoop down and attack you.
At first you'll be fighting normal dragons but later on as you level up you'll eventually fight against elder dragons. The PC version of Skyrim is moddable and really brings something fresh into the game. There are thousands of mods available for download right now and all of them add something fresh and new into Skyrim. The replayability for this game is endless. No playthrough of this game will be the same unless you purposely do it and even then it'll still be different because of the random encounters in the game. My final verdict for The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim is a full 10/10. This game is by all counts Legendary in my books and I will be playing it for many years to come. The future is very bright for The Elder Scrolls and I can't wait to see what happens next.
The Verdict: 10/10

The average work-week is 48 hours in the Latin American countries where Dole operates, with the exception of Ecuador, where it is 40 hours. Hours are generally spread evenly over a 6-day week that extends from Monday through Saturday, with Sunday being the day of rest. Depending on the country in question, work days are usually limited by law to 10-12 hours.
Because Dole operates in the agricultural sector, the work hours may vary during the year depending on production conditions. At no point, however, does Dole force its employees to work beyond the accepted maximum work hours outlined by contract, the law or the agreements signed with our workers' respresentatives.
In general, the banana industry offers work throughout the year. Such constant employment opportunities have made this industry essential for income contribution and distribution in the local economies of production regions.

In normal sinus rhythm (NSR), pacemaker impulses are initiated in SA node, travel through the atrial pathways, and are delayed at the AV node. Depolarization of the atria produces a P wave. Impulse conduction proceeds unimpeded through the AV node and down the bundle branches to Purkinje fibers in the ventricles, causing ventricular depolarization and normally producing a narrow QRS complex.

Registration Authority (Smartcards)
NHS Informatics Merseyside delivers a Registration Authority (RA) service, which is responsible for registering and verifying the identity of staff that need to access the information held on national and local Spine enabled healthcare systems.
Smartcards include a photograph and passcode, similar to a chip and pin bank card.
NHS Informatics Merseyside's Registration Authority issues Smartcards to authorised staff with an approved level of access to patient information. This is essential to protect the security and confidentiality of personal and healthcare information.
It is important that everyone who will have access to patient information has been through the same, rigorous identity checks. For example, an outpatients' receptionist will have access to some patient information, but not the same level of clinical detail as a GP or consultant.
Requesting a Smartcard
Sponsors are identified to support the application process by specifying the level of access an individual should have. Sponsors are likely to be operational heads, managers or administrators within a practice, clinic, ward or department.
When a request for a Smartcard has been made through our IT service desk, the Registration Authority will coordinate the registration process, which involves:
- Identification check
- Issuing Smartcards
All personal data held by the Registration Authority is managed in accordance with the Data Protection Act and kept in line with national eGif Level 3 Standards.
Renewals and problems with your Smartcard
For Information Governance (IG) purposes, Smartcards will expire after two years if not renewed.
When the renewal date approaches, IT users will be prompted to renew at each login. Failure to renew your Smartcard will result in it expiring and access to Smartcard enabled systems being lost.
To renew your Smartcard or for non-urgent help and advice, please contact your RA Sponsor or Local Smartcard Administrator (LSA) who is likely to be a team leader, manager or administrator.
Services provided by your local Smartcard Sponsor include:
- Passcode resets.
- Assisted Smartcard renewal.
- Managing Smartcard requests including new Smartcards or access changes.
- Smartcard advice and support.
For more urgent Smartcard queries, such as a lost or damaged card, please contact Informatics Merseyside's IT service desk immediately. Bookings for Smartcard registration sessions are also managed through the IT service desk.

People have been predicting the death of the small American truck for a few years now. But there are problems with this line of thinking, and the return of the Chevy Colorado exposes a few of them, heralding the return of smaller American trucks, not their demise.
The Beginning
The Chevy Colorado was introduced in 2004 as a "midsized pickup" and replacement for the Chevy S-10 compact pickup. So these smaller American trucks are still not small. They have the midrange size necessary to be incredibly popular – so although truly small trucks virtually vanished from the market when Chevy and GMC made the switch, their replacements are back to stay.
The second, bigger problem is that smaller vehicles are on the upswing in popularity and production. Chevy's timing on the reintroduction of the Colorado, which was discontinued in 2011 and is being rolled out again starting in 2014, coincides perfectly with a big upswing in demand for more efficient, modest vehicles. Or at least, that's what Chevy hopes the data means.
Fuel Costs Higher than Normal, but Comfort Prevails
Despite the cost of fuel, full-sized trucks and SUVs have continued to increase in popularity to the detriment of mid-sized trucks. However, Chevy and GM are looking at the recent, rapid growth of sporty sedans' popularity, the so-called "lifestyle" vehicles that carry a ton of stuff, are roomy and comfortable, and are more affordable to own and use, as a sign that there is a market for the new Colorado. It offers a plethora of comfort and convenience features on the inside, and a versatile bed with several different tie-down and rack options for those who want to carry gear or a bike in the back.
Chevy is also banking on international markets to help revive the mid-sized truck. In places like Thailand, vehicles like the Colorado sell very well because they are much more fuel-efficient and people use them to do actual work. Buyers concerned with fuel efficiency who want a truck that does a lot – haul gear, go to work, cart a family around – hopefully will be drawn to the Colorado, just as they are abroad.
Comparing Toyota Tacoma to Chevy Colorado
There is also a strong precedent for not-humongous trucks in the United States. The Toyota Tacoma is one of the most popular trucks in the country, and the base model before the huge cab and bed extension options is pretty close to a mid-sized vehicle. The Colorado will probably come in at a few thousand dollars more expensive, but with improved towing capacity, horsepower, and fuel efficiency compared to the Tacoma.
It's interesting to note that at GMC and GM, which share basic model designs on many of their trucks, many of the executives and market experts share a belief that demand for mid-sized trucks didn't dry up. It experienced a short decrease they say, but producers took them off the market and prolonged the mid-sized absence. They think this despite the fact that just over 200,000 mid-sized trucks have sold in the entire United States this year.
Chevy Colorado Still on Top
So the numbers go both ways. But sitting in the Colorado and looking at the numbers, it's difficult to imagine that the car and truck-buying public won't be swayed by this vehicles upgraded, rugged efficiency enough that the small American truck will see a great return, not a final death rattle.

But I can feel you here emotionally

But still, there is a lot to tell
End of life never means the end of memories.
Why you were too good to be unforgettable?

You died once, I am dying daily

Global deaths of newborn babies remain alarmingly high, particularly among the world's poorest countries, UNICEF said yesterday in a new report on newborn mortality. Babies born in Japan, Iceland and Singapore have the best chance at survival, while newborns in Pakistan, the Central African Republic and Afghanistan face the worst odds.
"While we have more than halved the number of deaths among children under the age of five in the last quarter century, we have not made similar progress in ending deaths among children less than one month old," said Henrietta H Fore, UNICEF's Executive Director. "Given that the majority of these deaths are preventable, clearly, we are failing the world's poorest babies."
India's child deaths per 1,000 live births stand at 25.4. In terms of risk for newborns, India stands at 12 among 52 "lower-middle-income countries". The report stated that around 600,000 newborns die within 28 days of their birth every year in India.
Globally, in low-income countries, the average newborn mortality rate is 27 deaths per 1,000 births, the report said. In high-income countries, that rate is three deaths per 1,000. Newborns from the riskiest places to give birth are up to 50 times more likely to die than those from the safest places.
The report also noted that eight of the 10 most dangerous places to be born are in sub-Saharan Africa, where pregnant women are much less likely to receive assistance during delivery due to poverty, conflict and weak institutions. If every country brought its newborn mortality rate down to the high-income average by 2030, 16 million lives could be saved.
Lowest newborn mortality rates
1. Japan: 1 in 1,111
2. Iceland: 1 in 1,000
3. Singapore: 1 in 909
4. Finland: 1 in 833
5. Estonia: 1 in 769
5. Slovenia: 1 in 769
7. Cyprus: 1 in 714
8. Belarus: 1 in 667
8. Luxembourg: 1 in 667
8. Norway: 1 in 667
8. Republic of Korea: 1 in 667
Highest newborn mortality rates
1. Pakistan: 1 in 22
2. Central African Republic: 1 in 24
3. Afghanistan: 1 in 25
4. Somalia: 1 in 26
5. Lesotho: 1 in 26
6. Guinea-Bissau: 1 in 26
7. South Sudan: 1 in 26
8. Côte d'Ivoire: 1 in 27
9. Mali: 1 in 28
10. Chad: 1 in 28
More than 80 per cent of newborn deaths are due to prematurity, complications during birth or infections such as pneumonia and sepsis, the report said. These deaths can be prevented with access to well-trained midwives, along with proven solutions like clean water, disinfectants, breastfeeding within the first hour, skin-to-skin contact and good nutrition. However, a shortage of well-trained health workers and midwives means that thousands don't receive the life-saving support they need to survive. For example, while in Norway there are 218 doctors, nurses and midwives to serve 10,000 people, that ratio is 1 per 10,000 in Somalia.
This month, UNICEF is launching Every Child ALIVE, a global campaign to demand and deliver solutions on behalf of the world's newborns. Through the campaign, UNICEF is issuing an urgent appeal to governments, healthcare providers, donors, the private sector, families and businesses to reduce infant mortality.
