New York - Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, announced today that Priests for Life is inviting the laity to prepare a massive spiritual bouquet which will be presented this Fall to all the priests of the country.
The faithful are invited to pledge prayers, rosaries, chaplets, holy hours, and sacrifices for priests, that they may be protected in body and spirit, and may grow in holiness and in the fruitfulness of their ministry.
This can be done at www.YearofPriests.org.
"Priests are heralds of the Gospel of Life, and are called to stir up the gifts of God's people to build the culture of life. In our day, when restoring protection for the right to life is the top moral imperative, the Catholic faithful thirst in a particular way for the leadership of priests in this arena, and eagerly pray for it," Fr. Pavone added.
Along with pledging a spiritual bouquet, people are invited to share their stories about their favorite priests.

GENERAL SANTOS CITY (MindaNews / 29 July) – The Department of Tourism in Region (DOT) 12 has adopted an initial seven tour packages to anchor the region's enhanced tourism promotion and marketing initiatives.
Nelly Nita Dillera, DOT-12 regional director, said the seven tour packages comprise key tourism attractions and destinations in the region that are covered by the agency's "12th Paradise" tourism campaign.
The official said the tour packages features half-day to full-day tours as well as two to three-day immersion visits to various ecotourism and cultural destinations within the region.
For this city, she said they have prepared a half-day tour that will bring visitors to the city fishport complex; the Sarangani Highlands Garden and Restaurant or the Mt. Sabrina Mountain View Resort; world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao's stadium, mansion and hotel; the Gen. Paulino Santos Museum; and the GenSan Pasalubong Center.
Dillera said another day-long tour option would bring visitors to top destinations within the city as well as in Lake Sebu town in South Cotabato for a zipline adventure, hike at the scenic Seven Falls Eco-Tourism Park and a 30-minute boat ride at the 354-hectare Lake Sebu.
The package includes a taste of the town's famed Tilapia dishes aboard a floating restaurant and an experience of the rich culture of the area's T'boli tribe through its museum and souvenir shops, she said.
Dillera said another package will bring tourists for a day-long adventure in this city and then to Maitum town in Sarangani for the water tubing experience at the Pangi River and its "pawikan" sanctuary.
The tour includes a brief stop at the "Faces of Maitum" Museum, which hosts centuries-old human-shaped burial jars and potteries, and the Lemlunay Dive Resort in Maasim town, she said.
The official said visitors may opt for an ecotourism and cultural immersion tour lasting two days in South Cotabato that will include stops to the Dole Philippines pineapple plantation in Polomolok; Tupi fruit park in Tupi; Kablon Farms pasalubong center in Koronadal City; Surallah tri-people monument in Surallah; and the T'boli School of Living Traditions, the Lang Dulay T'nalak weaving center, House of Gongs and the Tboli Museum in Lake Sebu.
Dillera said tourists may take a one-day eco-industrial tour in Sultan Kudarat province that covers visits to the Sultan Kudarat provincial capitol in Isulan town, Baras bird sanctuary in Tacurong City and other nearby attractions.
She said an optional two-day tour is available for those who would want to visit the province's coffee farms and the Lagbasan Cave in Senator Ninoy Aquino town.
Dillera said visitors may take a day tour to discover the cultural charms of Cotabato City and nearby areas, specifically the People's Palace (government center), the Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral, the Barter Trade Center, the Al Jamelah weaving center and the Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Mosque.
The official said the longest of the seven packages covers three-day tours to Mt. Apo and nearby destinations in North Cotabato, especially the New Israel Eco Park in Makilala town; Lake Agco in Kidapawan City; and the Asik-Asik Falls in Alamada.
Dillera said these tour packages, which are offered in promotional prices, include airport transfer services, accommodation, tour guides, entrance and other related fees.
"These packages assure more memorable experiences for visitors who would come to Region 12," she said.
She said they're banking on these packages to help bring in more domestic and foreign tourists to the region and eventually meet its target of drawing around 1.9 million tourist arrivals for this year.

This chapter provides information on the infrastructure of Bane NOR's rail network and other railway infrastructure linked with this rail network, and which is provided to anyone that has access to operate services on this rail network.
Supplementary information on Ch. 3 can be found in the Annexes to the Network Statement.
Banedata and Register of Railway infrastructure (RINF) include information on infrastructure in this chapter. Cf. Commission Implementing Decision No 2014/880/EU of 26 November 2014 on the common specifications of the register of railway infrastructure
The intention is to cover RUs' existing and new information requirements in connection with the planning of their train production.
The Network Statement does not provide sufficient information on infrastructure properties with a view to specifying, designing or constructing vehicles that are compatible with the Bane NOR infrastructure. To meet such requirements, please see the Bane NOR document Technical Rules, Supplementary information and regulations, Ch. 1.
Information on linked private railway infrastructure is only covered insofar as Bane NOR possesses information about it.
The geographical scope and restrictions of the rail network are shown in a line map – cf. Annex 3.2.1.
There are four border crossings between Norway and Sweden. These are described in the table below – cf. Annex 3.2.1. None of these border crossings involves a change of track gauge.
Passing the national border involves a change in the visual signalling system.

Norway has no rail network in the traditional sense, apart from the rail network administered by Bane NOR. There is a small number of privately owned tracks and lines. These tracks are mentioned in the Network Statement as they may be used in connection with the rail network administered by Bane NOR.
Passing the domestic branch points may involve changing loading gauge, axle load, power supply system, signalling system, etc. Linked tracks and lines – cf. Annex 22.214.171.124
Sidings – cf. Annex 188.8.131.52.
In a number of instances, Bane NOR has chosen to remove points between the rail network and sidings that have not been used for a long time. Any RUs that would like such points to be re-established should contact Bane NOR: email@example.com
For information on the rail network of relevance to vehicles, please see the Bane NOR document Technical Rules, Supplementary information and regulations. Please see Bane NOR's infrastructure database, «Banedata», for a summary of infrastructure properties sorted by geographical area.
Please contact the OSS to order from this database: firstname.lastname@example.com
Please see Bane NOR's sidings database for further information on (private) sidings.
Please contact the OSS to order data from this database: firstname.lastname@example.com
The rail network is mostly made up of single tracks. However, double tracks have been established on most of the routes closest to Oslo. There are parallel railway lines on just a small number of sections – cf. Annex 3.2.1.
The only track gauge for the rail network and linked public and private tracks is 1435 millimetres (4' 8½«).
Line map – cf. Annex 3.2.1. See Route description for the rail network and TRASÉ
The true distance between the individual stations on a railway line can be found in Bane NOR's route diagram for the section in question. Distances are specified in kilometres. http://www.banenor.no/kundeportal/ruter-og-sportilgang/grafiske-togruter/
Route diagrams can be downloaded free of charge.
The length of railway tracks at stations are shown in the Network Statement, annex 126.96.36.199 Stations
International reference contours
The rail network, with all its track sections, satisfies the following international reference contours (both static and kinematic specification):
G1 (UIC 505-1/prEN 15273-1)
GA (UIC 505-1/prEN 15273-1)
GB (UIC 505-1/prEN 15273-1)
Combined transports according to UIC 596-6
The maximum permitted size of combined transports (Combined Transport Profile Number, CTPN) for the individual line sections is shown in the Line map – cf. Annex 184.108.40.206.1
International loading gauges for containers and semitrailers, up to P/C 410, etc. and up to P/C 80, etc. are applicable on the lines shown in Annex 22.214.171.124.1.
National gauges
To ensure maximum utilisation of the Norwegian infrastructure, in particular the curve deflection according to which our lines are constructed, the following national gauge has been established:
In case of trains which exceed the stated loading gauges, an application for special consignments must be sent to Bane NOR, cf. section 4.7.1. Applications are sent to firstname.lastname@example.com
Domestic map – cf. Annex 22.214.171.124.1.
Domestic map – cf. Annex 220.127.116.11.2.
Tabular summary of determinative gradients and for graphic presentation of vertical profiles – cf. Annex 188.8.131.52.
According to Trafikkregler for jernbanenettet - Traffic rules for the rail network , the maximum speed limit for passenger trains is 210 km/h, and 100 km/h for freight trains.
Line speed profiles by line – cf. Annex 220.127.116.11.
This chapter has been removed.
Bane NOR provides electricity for the running and heating of trains. Map showing all electrified lines in Norway – cf. Annex 184.108.40.206.
Nominal system voltage is 15,000 Volts (RMS) alternating current for all electrified lines. Nominal frequency is 16 2/3 Hz for all electrified lines.
The power supply of the rail network is typically characterised by large distances between supply points and small, distributed converter stations.
For trains with converter traction systems, experience shows that software developed for use of the same stock in continental Europe often has to undergo subsequent optimisation with regard to functionality on the train itself and in order to avoid an acceptable power oscillations between the train and the power supply.
For supplementary information, please see https://trv.jbv.no/wiki/Rolling_stock/Supplementary_information_and_regulations Technical Rules, Supplementary information and regulations, Ch. 8.
Current consumption
The power supply of the rail network is divided into capacity classes as shown in the map – Maximum train current: Power consumption – cf. Annex 220.127.116.11.
In the case of low voltage, it is presumed that the driver will further limit power consumption.
For Classes C1 and C2, this is especially relevant under special conditions involving reduced capacity. For Class C3, this may also be required during normal operation.
In particular, this is important in trains which do not have automatic current limitation according to EN 50388 in the event of low catenary voltage.
On some lines, the available power is a limiting factor with regard to capacity utilisation, cf. Route description for the rail network, Ch. 2.3.
Current during use of regenerative braking
The power supply of the rail network is divided into capacity classes as shown in the map – Maximum train current: Regenerative braking – cf. Annex 126.96.36.199 Electrified lines.
The height of the catenary varies from 4600 to 6200 mm. Sections of the railway network have a higher minimum height. Please contact Bane NOR for further information on this.
The catenary's deviation from the centre of the track is nominally 400 mm and in severe winds maximum 700 ± 50 mm for old contact lines and 550 ± 30 mm or 500 ± 30 mm for newer contact lines.
The profile of the pantographs is defined in Teknisk regelverk, bok 540, kapittel 4 og 5. Technical Rules, book 540, Chs. 4 and 5.
Limits for forces between the pantograph and the catenary are specified in Technical Rules, book 542, Ch. 5.
Limits for aerodynamic balancing of pantographs are specified in Technical Rules, Supplementary information and regulations, Ch. 8, Annex e. The contact lines are dimensioned for a wind load of at least 30 m/s perpendicular to the catenary.
If there are several active pantographs on a train, the number of pantographs and the distance between them can be factors that help determine the maximum train speed permitted. In this case, separate acceptance from Bane NOR is required for the various routes.
Supplementary regulations: Teknisk regelverk, Supplementary information and regulations, kapittel 8, appendix e Technical Rules, Supplementary information and regulations, Ch. 8, Annex e.
Cf. togframføringsforskriften kapittel 9 - the Train Operation Regulations, Ch. 9.
Signalling systems include signals, interlocking systems and line block systems and apply to stations, level crossings, landslide warning systems, etc.
The signalling systems must signal to trains whether they can run on the line in question. The interlocking systems must secure safe routes for trains in motion. In order to show a «go sign», the route after the signal must be checked and guaranteed clear of other trains, signals in the opposite direction must show a «stop sign» and all points must be set to the correct position for the chosen route.
Cf. togframføringsforskriften, kapittel 5 – the Train Operation Regulations, Ch. 5 Annex 126.96.36.199
Centralised traffic control is a system that monitors traffic electronically. In the centralised control office, the traffic controller – who monitors traffic on long-distance routes, i.e. over several stations – receives information about the exact position of the train. Most of the railway lines in Norway use centralised traffic control.
Coverage map – cf. Annex 18.104.22.168.
Some lines still have a system using manual announcements. This system means that a block post keeper at one station has to make contact by telephone with a colleague at the next station before the train is permitted to leave the station. This ensures that there are never two trains on the same block section at the same time. This section is now reserved for this train and no other activity is permitted until this train has arrived at the next station.
Coverage map – cf. Annex 126.96.36.199.
Cf. the Train Operation Regulations, Ch. 2, section III.
GSM-R is used as the communication system between trains and traffic controllers.
Coverage map – cf. Annex 22.214.171.124.
Traffic controller, station signaller and driver communicate through the medium of Norwegian.
Lines with centralised traffic control on the rail network are equipped with a system for train speed monitoring. The two systems used in the rail network are ATC and ERTMS.
ATC will eventually be replaced by ERTMS as the system for speed monitoring.
ATC = Automatic Train Control
ERTMS = European Railway Traffic Management System
If a train passes a red signal, the ATC system will activate the train's emergency brake and stop the train. If the speed limit is exceeded, a warning signal sounds in the driver's cab and the speed is reduced. Approx. 90% of all ATC lines are equipped with partial ATC equipment (DATC), which means that speeds are only monitored at signals. Approx. 10% of all ATC lines are equipped with full ATC equipment (FATC), which means that speeds are monitored constantly.
Lines equipped with ATC – cf. Annex 188.8.131.52
On lines equipped with ERTMS Level 2, a running permit and velocity profile are sent from the signalling system to the train via GSM-R. In normal driving mode (FS/OS), a train cannot run without having received a running permit. If the speed limit is exceeded, a warning signal sounds in the driver's cab and the speed is reduced. If a train exceeds its End of Authority (EoA), the train is automatically brought to a halt.
FS = Full Supervision
OS = On-Sight
EoA = End of Authority
Lines equipped with ERTMS – cf. Annex 184.108.40.206.
To prevent axle counter faults, only wheels compatible with ERA/ERTMS/033281 are to be used. This is applicable to both Infrastructure (contractors, machinery) and Services (enterprise).
Cf. the Railway Regulations, § 8-8.
Restrictions on Romeriksporten
Freight trains carrying dangerous goods are not allowed in the Romeriksporten when there is a passenger train in the tunnel.
Restrictions on the culvert at Gardermoen station
Freight trains should not be planned through the culvert at Gardermoen station (Oslo Lufthavn) in the annual route plan.
Freight train activity shall constitute the least possible obstacle to any other train traffic stipulated in the route plan.
As of the third quarter of 2015, the Ski – Mysen – Sarpsborg line is equipped with ERTMS Level 2, and version 2.3.0d of the system is used. Only rolling stock with an ERTMS onboard system compatible with ERTMS version 2.3.0d will be granted approval to run on this line.
Noise restrictions are specified by general Norwegian legislation, cf. the Neighbours Act, the Pollution Control Act and the Planning and Building Act in particular.
Further provisions concerning noise restrictions and other environmental conditions are included in the ATS section 10.2.6.3.
Among other things, local noise restrictions mean that whistles must not be sounded at certain level crossings during the night. These level crossings are signposted.
In connection with the acceptance of vehicles, noise requirements will be a part of the rolling stock acceptance process, cf. Ch. 2.7.
The toilets must be kept locked in densely populated areas. This applies to the following routes:
Open toilet systems may not be used when the train is standing at a station or a halt.
Due to the topography in Norway, parts of the rail network are vulnerable to landslides and avalanches of various kinds.
Landslide/avalanche detection systems are installed on the most exposed lines – cf. Annex 18.104.22.168.1.
In rural areas, frequent collisions with animals on the track may sometimes occur. These animals are primarily elk and reindeer – cf. Annex 184.108.40.206.2
No restrictions.
To minimise exhaust emissions in tunnels, it is recommended that the driver should drive as smoothly as possible.
Tunnels more than 2 km long – cf. Annex 3.4.4.
Bane NOR has no bridge restrictions.
Bane NOR has two bridges with special rules for passing trains: the Skansen and Nidelven bridges, both governed by Trondheim station.
Railway traffic has priority over shipping, and so the normal position for the bridges is «ready for train». Normal opening hours for shipping are advertised locally in the daily press when a timetable and local shunting plan have been prepared and actioned by Bane NOR.
Information on bridge opening times can be found on the Port of Trondheim website: http://trondheimhavn.no/bruapningstider.aspx
All lines are essentially open to railway traffic round the clock.
Any regular closures or restrictions due to inspections and maintenance work will be reported by the IM as part of annual and operational capacity allocation, cf. Ch. 4.5.
On lines with announcements, where stations are staffed by a block post keeper to the necessary extent, the staffing (and thus the opening hours) could be determined by the need for infrastructure capacity reported in connection with annual and operational capacity allocation.
The line from Eina to Dokka is currently closed to traffic.
Bane NOR has not applied a classification system for stations.
Information on all stations, see Annex 126.96.36.199 Stations.
A summary of public facilities, a map, information on train heating systems and tracks and platforms for all stations are shown in Annex 126.96.36.199 Stations. Schematic track plans for selected stations are also provided better.
General information:
The geographical location of freight terminals, a more detailed description and contact details are provided in the following annexes:
Services provided at the terminals:
Bane NOR's services:
Bane NOR's range of services at the rail terminals is generally limited to access to tracks and loading lanes.
At certain terminals, agreements have been entered into between Bane NOR and terminal operators which allow terminal operators to offer services on Bane NOR tracks and loading lanes. The scope of the services offered varies from one terminal to another.
Information on services at freight terminals:
For services available at railway terminals, see https://www.banenor.no/kundeportal/jernbanen-i-norge/infrastruktur/godsterminaler/
Services provided at ports:
For further information, contact the port in question or visit the port's website.
For an overview of the services offered at the port facilities, see Annex 188.8.131.52 Harbour Terminals
See the list in Annex 126.96.36.199.
See the list in Annex 184.108.40.206
Further information about addresses and contacts is provided in Ch. 5 Services. See also the summary in Annex 3.6.5 Service facilities and emergency rolling stock, and Annex 18.104.22.168 Marshalling yards, stabling and workshops.
Wheel damage detectors are available at the following locations:
Acoustic detectors (for bearing damage) are available at the following locations:
Alarms are sent to the RUs directly or via the «DROPS» system.
Wheel damage detectors and acoustic detectors are linked to a central monitoring system, Fleet One, which is owned and run by Bane NOR. RUs themselves have to carry out regular monitoring themselves. All passes indicate the status of wheel bearings and flat spots on the train's wheels. RUs themselves are responsible for exploiting the benefits from this. Bane NOR will receive alarms when the flat spot alarm exceeds a defined threshold. The train will then be asked to reduce its speed or stop, depending on the degree of severity.
In instances in which the infrastructure is damaged, the system will be used to assess who is responsible for the damage.
The system is available via a web interface known as FleetONE. If access is required, use the following https://hsd.opm.jbv.no/FleetOne/ and click on «Register» in the top right-hand corner.
RUs are responsible for ensuring that all trains/wagons are registered with an RFID in accordance with applicable principles for RFID structure. The aim of this is to identify wagons in the monitoring system and hence provide clear, fast notification to the train companies in the event of flat spots and/or bearing damage. It is particularly critical for traffic controllers to provide fast response to trains in the event of high flat spot alarms.
Hot box detectors are available at the following locations:
The results of these measurements are processed at each individual installation and transferred to a SQL database at Marienborg in Trondheim every time a train passes.
Alarms are passed directly to the Central Region train controller via a separate interface, who then stops the train and passes on the information to the RU. Data is not available via a web interface at present.
Wagon weighbridges are available at the following locations:
Deicing facilities are available at the following location:
This facility must be able to service 4000 metres of freight train per day.
Bane NOR has no port facilities linked with railway activities.
An overview of port facilities associated with rail operations can be found in Annex 220.127.116.11 Harbour Terminals
Relief facilities for contingency terminals.
There are relief facilities at the following locations:
For conditions relating to use of the contingency terminals, see Chapter 22.214.171.124.
See the list in Annex 3.6.5.
The refuelling facilities shown in Annex 22.214.171.124 are all designed for refuelling with diesel.
No other facilities are offered.
Cf. the Railway Regulations, § 5-1 (4)
RNE has worked in consultation with IRG-Rail and the railway sector to prepare a Common Template for Service Facilities. This template includes information on conditions for access to service facilities and for tenders relating to services at these facilities, as well as necessary technical information.
This specified information, in accordance with the template, from any party running service facilities that are not controlled by IMs must be submitted to IMs in the form of a link to a website where this information can be accessed electronically and free of charge, or in writing so that IMs can publish the information in an annex to the Network Statement.
Bane NOR must publish this information on 1 June 2019.

My company went through a physical relocation in January this year. I wrote about some of my experiences; today, I'll talk about the move again, but this time with a warning about not changing equipment at the same time as the move.
My company went through a physical relocation in January this year. I wrote about some of my experiences in this blog. Today, I'll talk about the move again, but this time with a warning about not changing equipment at the same time as the move.
Like most mid-sized companies, we had an existing PBX system already in use at the old premises. Because it was old, we decided to purchase a new one. It was a fairly easy decision since we figured it would be risky to dismantle the old PBX and expect to get it up again by the next day at the new location.
We scouted for a new system to be installed and commissioned ahead of the actual move. Installation of the PBX was uneventful if you disregard a mini scare over the wrong cable used for the wiring. Everything was on schedule and worked flawlessly. At least that's what we thought until Monday morning, when the phones started ringing en masse.
The main issue was that an IP-based telephone system works differently from a traditional one running off analog phone lines. I understood that at a technical level, however, but that didn't really prepare me.
I'm not saying that we purchased a dud; in fact, the IP-PBX performed much better than the old PBX we'd been using. The new PBX was able to handle more than double the calls - unbelievably, that turned out to be the problem.
You see, over the years, our customers had been trained to expect a busy signal when nobody was available to serve them. The busy signal resulted from the limitation of the old PBX. With the new setup however, practically all calls were getting through, but because the number of personnel picking up the calls remained unchanged, the calls were left unattended.
Customers were puzzled and then became irate, starting to call their sales representatives on their mobiles to complain. Believe me, this took a while to identify and sort out.
In a later conversation with the engineer who installed the PBX, I found out that issues like this are common. In fact, the engineer told me that he typically allocates at least a couple of days per installation to attend to such unanticipated issues.
Have you ever installed an equipment or tried out a service in which problems arose from a totally unanticipated angle?

Broadcasters Association of America Honors Bud Walters '63
May 11, 2009
May 11, 2009, Greencastle, Ind. — Bayard H. "Bud" Walters, president and owner of The Cromwell Group Inc. and 1963 graduate of DePauw University, is a 2009 recipient of the Broadcasters Foundation of America's Ward L. Quaal Pioneer Award. Quaal helped to build WGN radio and television in Chicago into stations which were dominant in their market and influential to broadcast operations nationwide. Walters was honored at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas. (photo, l-r: BFOA chairman Phil Lombardo, Walters, and BFOA president Jim Thompson)
The Journal Gazette of Mattoon, Illinois, notes, "Walters founded the Cromwell Group in 1972 and he remains the president and driving force within his group of 22 radio stations (six AM and 16 FM) in five markets: Decatur (4), Effingham (3), Mattoon (3), Vandalia (2), Owensboro/Tell City (7), and Nashville (3), in four states (Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee)."
After graduating from DePauw, Walters served four years in the U.S. Air Force and later earned an M.B.A. from Indiana University. At that point, Walters "received a construction permit to built an AM radio station in Hawesville, Ky., which he still owns. Since that initial construction permit, Walters has specialized in start-up and turn-around stations. Over the years, Cromwell has owned and operated 32 radio stations, 20 of which were startups or upgraded from their original license."
The newspaper adds, "Following his mantra of 'being important where you are,' Walters has continually fostered community involvement. He has served on the board of directors of the Kentucky and Tennessee Broadcasters Associations, the NAB, the RAB, and the Radio Music Licensing Committee. He also serves on the board of DePauw University."

Iranian warships en route to US maritime border
Iranian admiral says deployment of ships to North Atlantic meant to send a message to Washington
A senior Iranian naval commander said Saturday that his country has sent several warships to the Atlantic Ocean, close to US maritime borders for the first time.
The commander of Iran's Northern Navy Fleet, Admiral Afshin Rezayee Haddad, was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying that the vessels have already begun the journey to the Atlantic Ocean via waters near South Africa.
"Iran's military fleet is approaching the United States' maritime borders, and this move has a message," the semi-official Fars News Agency quoted him saying.
According to Fars, Iran dispatched several warships to the North Atlantic.
There was no immediate response from Washington to the news.
Iranian officials, announcing plans for the venture last month, said that the fleet consisted of a destroyer and a logistic helicopter carrier, and that it would be on a three-month mission.
Haddad said the fleet is approaching US maritime borders for the first time. The Islamic Republic considers the move as a response to US naval deployments near its own coastlines, Iran indicated. The US Navy's 5th fleet is based in nearby Bahrain.
Earlier Saturday, Iran's spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said American officials are "lying" when they say they are not seeking regime change in Iran.
"American officials tell our authorities at talks that they are not after regime change in Iran. They are lying because they won't hesitate a moment if they had the ability to do so," said Khamenei.

Since the early '80s, residents of cities around the world have assembled on June 21 in their individual town centers in celebration of World Music Day. The event is known here as Make Music Denver, and tomorrow our music-centric community will come together with over 300 musicians playing their hearts out on the 16th Street Mall throughout the day. We caught up with Tami Door, CEO of the Downtown Denver Partnership to discuss Denver's featured role in this international event, along with the Denver Musicians Association's concerns that Make Music Denver performers are volunteering to play.
See also: - Ten places to ride your bike this summer - Five offbeat things to do this summer with kids under the age of five - Ten places you and your dog will love this summer
Westword: What role do you feel music plays in bringing a community together?
Tami Door: Music really brings a spirit to a city. Whether we're celebrating, honoring someone or mourning a loss, music brings people together around a common platform, regardless of where you come from. The Downtown Denver Partnership does countless music events every year, but what's unique about this event is it's community-driven. The musicians are coming forward and saying, "This is our gift to the community." We're celebrating music for the sake of music.
And this exposes different bands and styles of music to people who might not have otherwise known about them. It also puts Denver on a world stage, because our event is part of a much broader world-wide event that happens each year on this day. Over 100 countries and 520 cities participate, with musicians performing for and engaging with the community.
Over the last decade Denver has developed so many programs to support the arts -- but would an event like this have been possible twenty or thirty years ago?
Marijuana Deals Near You
I think so. Denver has had such good success in the arts, and then that success has bred even more success. So I think what you've seen in the last few years is Denver building on the base it's already had. The more we've told that story the more artists and musicians moved here, and they've flourished. The story is being told on a bigger scale now. At last year's event, Denver was highlighted at the culmination event when they took clips from all the different events from around the world. So that's over 100 countries and 520 cities taking a look at what Denver is up to.
And what made that possible is us going out and funding a platform for local musicians to perform. This is a non-profit event -- it's free for everyone. We provide the funding, the permits and the stage to celebrate music and give a gift to community. And they can leverage that in the future, for their own business or just their love of music.
I understand the Denver Musicians Association is asking for a boycott of Make Music Denver because the event does not compensate the musicians.
Right. And that's because this event is all volunteer-based. In order to be part of the global initiative, that's the format for the event. If musicians would like to play, it's entirely up to them. We put a call out to the community, explaining that this is World Music Day, so if you'd like to play, it's open to you. We had over 160 bands and over 300 musicians respond to that call. Frankly, I don't understand the boycott. Musicians love it, and are coming out of the woodwork to play -- and that's not even counting the amateur musicians who will randomly show up to play.

Q1 I am a student of IP university, Delhi and have completed my BIS hons. I have taken my GMAT and got a score of 660.
First of all could you please tell me how do I calculate my GPA from mark sheets.
I have been frequently writing that the applicants need not convert their marks into GPA pattern.
You will not be able to calculate this correctly.
Every university has it's own people who are trained on this and they do it. Let me also add that each university also has it's own set norms for conversion. So please do not attempt the conversion.
Suffice it to say that if you have good scores in your home country then it will be treated as such by the universities.
To this I would also add that
If you have scores of 75% – 80% or above than only attempt for universities ranked 1-10.
If your score is 70-75% than only try universities ranked 11-30.
If you have grades 65-70% try for universities ranked 31-50.
Most of the other universities want a score above 60%.
1.Academics is one aspect there are other things in the APPLICATION MIX which are seen by the admission committee. It means that if a candidates has less than 80% he can still be admitted to a university ranked 1-10 if his other factors in the mix are strong. The same applies for other groups mentioned above.
2.There are universities which admit candidates with less than 60% marks. You have to find them.

US patient explains how self-adjusting insulin pump now licenced in Canada has changed his life
After living with Type 1 diabetes for nearly half his life, 30-year-old Rob Howe feels like he's finally getting back some of the time and energy he had been burning each day managing his medical condition.
Howe, a resident of Dallas, Texas, is among more than 100,000 Americans who have begun using the world's first self-adjusting insulin pump – the Medtronic MiniMedTM 670G system – since it was approved for use in the U.S. two years ago by the Federal Food and Drug Administration.
Canadians with Type 1 diabetes will soon also be able to access the ground-breaking technology, which helps to stabilize glucose levels 24 hours a day by automatically adjusting basal insulin delivery based on real-time insulin needs. Health Canada has licensed the system for use in people with Type 1 diabetes seven years of age and older. Medtronic expects to begin commercial release of the MiniMed 670G system in Canada later this fall. Approximately 300,000 Canadians live with Type 1 diabetes.
Howe, a former professional basketball player and entrepreneur, said the MiniMed 670G has helped keep his blood glucose levels in optimal range more frequently, providing him more freedom to focus on his life instead of focusing on his personal care.
"I'm spending less energy thinking about my diabetes," he said. "It's incremental, but it adds up over time. I believe that all of life's great treasures come from compound interest , so getting a little bit of each day back is going to add up tremendously for me long term."
Howe, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 16, said he was initially skeptical about whether new technology could help him. He had been using a less advanced type of insulin pump for nearly a decade and had been able to keep his blood sugar at healthy levels by carefully managing his diet, exercise and insulin intake. But after he researched the science and technology behind the MiniMed 670G, he became convinced it could benefit him. He began using the system in February 2018.
Now I have the confidence to exercise and be active and know my pump is doing all of my thinking for me.Rob Howe, U. S. patient using the Minimed 670G system
"I can see from my time in range, which is the main metric on the pump, that my numbers are in a much tighter range over a greater period of time. Even though I had tight control before, I feel much more confident in my decision making with the MiniMed 670G," he said. "That just takes some of the stress off of me and allows me to be myself and not have diabetes be so involved in my whole life."
Howe, who played basketball against the Harlem Globetrotters as a member of the Washington Generals, said the MiniMed 670G allows him to be more active without worrying about spikes in his blood glucose levels.
He used to remove his previous insulin pump before playing basketball or exercising heavily because he wasn't sure how it would handle the extra exertion of energy. As a result, his blood sugars would spike during basketball and make it difficult to enjoy getting involved in a game he loved.
The MiniMed 670G can be worn during strenuous exercise and continues to monitor blood glucose levels and make insulin adjustments.
"Now I have the confidence to exercise and be active and know my pump is doing all of my thinking for me," Howe said. "If my levels start to go up, the pump will correct it and if my levels start to go down, the pump will stop giving me insulin and keep me in range."
Howe said the MiniMed 670G gives him more optimism for the future, knowing he can effectively manage his Type 1 diabetes with less effort.
"When I think about the next 50 years of diabetes in my life, going from 30 to 80, it gives me a lot of hope for what's to come."
Rob Howe is a Medtronic Minimed Ambassador and the Founder of Diabetics Doing Things. He lives in Dallas with his girlfriend Erica and their pets, Rowan, Michael and Enzo.

Ipswich Town – 2
Nottingham Forest – 1
I've been trying really hard not to succumb to many of the prophecies of doom pervading the online world of Forest fan-dom at the moment. It's nice to at least attempt to be a little bit rational, and maybe even a smidge optimistic – but well, it's not easy. Our injury crisis was 'eased' this evening by the recall of Emile Sinclair and the return from injury of Joel Lynch. If I didn't really worry about relegation before, I'm afraid news like that I do now, and the noises coming from Forest of late aren't offering much reassurance.
To compound matters, our next opponents – a team you might be familiar with – completed their preparations for the weekend's game with a 4-1 spannering of Blackpool. Tonight's results combined with those played earlier in the week leave us just two points ahead of Norwich, who occupy the topmost relegation place in the table currently. It's really not a particularly rosy picture to be painting, and no amount of 'Moussi managed forty minutes in a friendly' type news is really going to paper over the fact that we're still way short of the required depth and quality of squad to sustain at this level.
So, yeah, the match. I couldn't make the rescheduled time for this one, and decided not to listen to it as I'd convinced myself after the weekend that it was unlucky. It didn't seem to help, but spared my poor finger nails. The official match report is available here, which I suggest you read for a match summary – I can't really offer much in the way of that. Perch lobbed Smith with a header to give Ipswich the lead, unfortunate! Breckin looked to have equalised, the referee deemed Wes to have fouled the 'keeper with an alert from the linesman.
The remainder of the half was scrappy with few chances. Sinclair was put on for the second half for Garner – a sad indictment in itself of the barrel-scraping going on at the moment (sorry Emile, but it's true). That said, Sinclair did start well laying off a chance for Thornhill who forced a good save. Despite some positive play, Forest weren't able to force a goal – and, perhaps even predictably, were hit on the counter attack after Wright was able to beat Smith at the near post following a cross from McAuley.
Again Forest toiled, McGugan had a chance saved, a corner through the box didn't have anyone on the end of it, McGugan shot straight at the keeper – eventually substitute McCleary did get the ball over to Tyson who was able to convert the chance from six yards. Thirteen minutes left on the clock, Ipswich had chances, Forest pressed – McGugan hit the post, Tys nearly got on the rebound – and then Ipswich were able to wind the clock down to secure the win.
Depressing times, and optimism in the NFFCBlog camp is at a pretty major low in the run up to the showdown with Derby at the weekend. If folks who were at the game have a less bleak view to share, then I'm sure readers would value them as much as I would!

Chris Archer
Chris Archer descended from a long line of marksmen; thus his last name, with it's ties to archery. He grew up hunting with his family in the wilderness of Michigan, where he developed a competitive eye for shooting. That skill has translated into a laser-sharp ability to capture images at the perfect moment.
A camping trip to Hana is what inspired Archer to direct his shooting skills towards photography. Seeing the depth of the milky way overhead, and wanting to share it with his loved ones back home, he was possessed with the desire to contain that indescribable beauty within an image. Long days and nights spent experimenting with his equipment in Maui's rugged terrain has given Archer a broad range of experience working in both sun and starlight. Losing sense of time and place while out in the field is one of his favorite things, second only to the response he gets from sharing his work with family and friends. Creating images that encompass the feeling of Hawaii, and sharing that with a global audience, thrills him. He strives to uncover fresh perspectives with every project, hoping to show people their favorite places in a way that they may not have seen before. He endeavors to hone his skills while traveling the world, exploring new landscapes and seasons. His goal is to see his work used on the big screen, presenting the beauty of the islands to an international audience. His passion is to be the best, Hawaii's premier time-lapse photographer.

How to Avoid Mistakes in Poker
All poker players make mistakes. Those new to the game tend to make them more often — and more glaringly — than do experienced players. But even the best players frequently end a session lamenting having made a poor decision or three (or more) in hands they've played.
Lists of "most common mistakes" made by no-limit hold'em players tend to include a lot of the same examples, and I'm sure most poker players who peruse such lists readily recognize certain mistakes they've made in the past and (probably) still make today.
Such lists usually focus on the "top five" or "top 10" mistakes, highlighting the most common ones since trying to cover all of the mistakes is a mostly hopeless task. For individual players, it's often a good idea when going over your own play to find the most frequent or most costly mistakes and concentrate only on correcting them, perhaps even just tackling one at a time.
Some mistakes are easier to identify and correct than others. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses, which means what might be a relatively simple mistake for one player to stop making can be much more difficult for another to correct. Dealing with tilt or exerting better emotional control while playing is a good example. Some find it easy to stop letting the game's ups and downs get the better of them, while others find it the most challenging aspect of poker — something they can never fully master.
Generally, though, I would volunteer one category of mistakes as being the most difficult to correct (for the most players). See if you agree with this idea, and if not you can let me know why.
Many mistakes in poker in fact result from one, broader problem, namely, a failure to balance or "mix up" one's play adequately. More often than not, this lack of balance results from a player not recognizing soon enough how the table is playing — that is, not picking up on the playing styles of opponents — and thus doing "too much" or "too little" of something.
Mistakes in this category might include, say, continuation betting too much or too little after having raised preflop. Or defending blinds against raises too much or too little. Or bluffing turns and rivers too much or too little. Such mistakes can be distinguished from other types where there isn't necessarily a clear "balance" for players to aim for — where there isn't an "either/or" element to the mistakes in which neither choice is necessarily the wrong one, it's just that you don't want to be doing either "too much or too little."
For example, a common mistake among some players (especially new ones) in no-limit hold'em is to keep chasing their draws too often after the flop, not recognizing when the pot odds being offered aren't good enough to keep calling.
If you have a flush draw (nine outs) on the turn, your opponent makes a pot-sized bet, and you call hoping to hit your flush, the problem isn't that you need to strike a better balance between calling or folding in such spots — you just need to stop calling, period. Figure out that when it's approximately 4-to-1 against hitting your draw, calling a pot-sized bet that is giving 2-to-1 pot odds is not the right play, and you've learned how to correct that mistake.
It's much harder, though, to correct a failure to balance your play adequately. Take a player who after having raised before the flop is continuation betting too much on the flop. When exactly does c-betting a lot become "too much"? That is, when does it become a "mistake"? And when the player recognizes he's making a mistake by c-betting too frequently, by how much should he lessen his frequency of c-betting? How to know what the right balance is?
Continuation betting too much becomes a problem when opponents make it one. If you're c-betting every single time and earning folds every single time, you aren't c-betting too much. But if your opponents pick up on your high c-betting frequency and start playing back at you — e.g., check-raising you, floating you with calls then betting you off hands on later streets, calling you down with medium-strength hands that are winners — then you probably need to c-bet less often, "mixing up" your play so as not to allow opponents to take advantage.
More often than not, these corrections have to be made "in game" and in response to what opponents are doing. The balance you seek with your preflop opens or c-bets or bluffs or value bets is the one that gives you the best chance to win the most, and that is going to change with every new set of opponents.
What's the lesson for new players, then? Start out trying to correct less ambiguous, more "cut-and-dry" mistakes first. Learn the math of the game, how to judge good starting hand selection, how to use position to your advantage, how to size bets and raises effectively, how to play correctly according to odds/probabilities, how to manage a bankroll, and so on.
Then, once you've managed to identify and start avoiding making those mistakes, when in the game pay attention to your opponents and their tendencies and work on balancing your play and avoiding exploitable patterns.

Removals Sheffield Extra Cost
You will also need to take into account the cost of applying for a parking permit. Your local city council in your new area will provide information on their parking permits or suspensions.
Sheffield is considered one of the UK's most congested cities, which will undoubtedly affect your moving process. If caught in traffic, expect 30 minutes to an hour of extra travel time. For a removal company, this means increased prices so it is in your best interests to avoid congested areas as much as possible.
Life in Sheffield
640,000 people live in the Sheffield urban area, making it one of the most lively city centres in all of the UK. Sheffield sits at the mouths of 5 rivers and is built on 7 hills, which is why it is affectionately known as Rome of the North. With its close proximity to the Peak District National Park, Sheffield is fantastic for those who enjoy the outdoors.
A stunning city for all
In Sheffield itself, there are numerous parks and greenspaces, making it one of the UK's greenest cities. Sheffield combines a friendly village vibe with the busyness of a bustling city. With one of the largest theatre districts outside of London—think the famous Lyceum and Crucible—and Meadowhall, a large shopping centre, along with the quirky shops in the city centre, Sheffield has something for everyone.
Cost of living
Compared to London, as in many other cities, prices in Sheffield are much lower. Due to lower costs and a strong economy, Sheffield is a great place to live. A few numbers on the cost of living are shown below:
- Average house rent: £723
- Average flat rent: £547
- Average cost of a meal: £12
- Average cost of a pint: £3.15
Sheffield weather
While the climate in Sheffield is temperate, British weather is quite unpredictable so be prepared for quick changes. Temperatures usually reach around 20℃ during the warmer months, while they fall to single digits in the winter. Expect frequent rain so be ready with waterproof clothing, footwear, and an umbrella. The weather changes often so pack plenty of warm clothing to layer in times of cold, and cool, breathable clothes for the hot days.
Moving around the city
Sheffield is well connected to outer areas, with extensive road networks and train links. There is the main train station, acting as the main hub to other major cities. The public transport system of Sheffield relies on buses and trams, providing an easy, convenient way to travel to the suburbs quickly. The average price of a monthly transport pass is £49, and with high congestion, is probably the best way of getting around Sheffield.
Prepare for your move to Sheffield
As with any move, you will need to register for council tax at your new area and inform your old council about your new address. Visit each city council's website for details on registering for council tax, such as the Sheffield council page. You will need to provide:
- Your name
- The address you are moving from
- Your council tax number
- Your new address and moving day
- The details of your house sale and purchase/lease agreement
Set into your new house in Sheffield
There is also the issue of settling into your new area. One way to ensure this is to know the rubbish collection schedule for your neighbourhood even before you move in. Your collection days can be found on the local city council website as well.
Waste Collection Services
During this time, we recommend researching about the bulky and hazardous waste collection services that your local government provides. This is important because after a move, you might find that some of your furniture is actually not necessary at your new place. Also, alternatives to this include donating to a charity or consulting your removals company in Sheffield about disposal. Some movers offer a disposal service that might come in handy after your moving day.
Save 40% on your Sheffield removals company by shopping around
Finding the right removal company in Sheffield is helpful to any move, whether you are moving to or within Sheffield. Ask professional movers to examine your belongings, give advice, and plan the logistics of your move. But with many companies available, your best bet is to compare their prices. Fill in our form with your details and receive up to 6 quotes the next day—with no hassle, you will be able to identify the right mover at the right price.

Senate shakeup won't change liberal control
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A leadership shake-up announced Wednesday by Senate Democrats due to Ted Kennedy's death will continue to empower the party's more left-leaning members on crucial issues, with Sen. Tom Harkin set to take over health care.
Harkin, an Iowa Democrat whose old-fashioned progressivism was not unlike Kennedy's, will replace the former Massachusetts senator as chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
Sen. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut will remain in charge of the banking committee and help Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., oversee a complex rewrite of the rules governing the nation's financial institutions.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters the decision was based on simple seniority and that Harkin -- an ardent supporter of the White House proposal to offer Americans a government insurance option -- was a "perfect fit."
Harkin's departure from the agriculture committee hands that chairmanship to Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, a more moderate Democrat but staunch supporter of government farm subsidies.
The new post will likely be a boon for Lincoln, who faces a potentially tough re-election fight next year and could use the committee perch to aid Arkansas farmers.
Dodd, who had been next in line to replace Kennedy and who also faces a difficult re-election, said he was tempted to succeed his close friend and mentor on the health committee.
But, he said, he wanted to continue his work on legislation aimed at preventing another financial collapse.
Among his top priorities is creating a new agency dedicated solely to protecting consumers from fraud and abuse by mortgage and credit card companies. Republicans oppose the plan as an example of big government and say it would discourage financial institutions from developing innovative products that people want.
"If Ted Kennedy were here today, he'd applaud wildly the fact that Tom Harkin is going to lead his committee. So I'm happy to turn over those reins to him," Dodd said.
In recent years, Harkin has used his chairmanship on the agriculture committee to aid family farmers. And as a senior member of the health committee, Harkin helped Kennedy draft the panel's bill and defended the public insurance option.
"I think that's the essential part of health reform, and that is to have one public plan that is portable. No matter where you live, no matter where you move, you know you can get this plan," Harkin told reporters this summer.
Harkin also is known for his ardent defense of embryonic stem cell research. In 2006, Harkin worked with Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, then a Republican, to push through legislation that would have lifted restrictions on federal funding for the research. President George W. Bush vetoed the bill.
Dodd's decision not to step down as chairman of the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee means that Sen. Tim Johnson will remain the No. 2 Democrat on the committee.
Johnson's potential ascension through the ranks had excited the financial industry because he is considered more sympathetic to their business than Dodd. Johnson's home state of South Dakota is a major operational hub for several credit card companies.
When asked by reporters on Wednesday, Johnson said he was fine with Dodd's decision.
"My time will come," Johnson said. "It's understandable that Chris Dodd would not jump out in midstream in complex banking issues."
Associated Press writer Ken Thomas contributed to this report.

Fur Trade Artifacts
You are here» Fur Trade Artifacts
by Steve Andrishak 98
Below are some of the many fur trade artifacts found in the Elk Point district during the 1950s and early 1960s.
The Hudson's Bay axes, hinges and various tools were found at the Fort George site many years ago, as were the large copper kettle, long handled frying pan and copper tea kettle.
At that time there were no heritage laws to prevent one from digging near historical sites. All you had to do was to get the landowner's premission.
In 1976 the Alberta Heritage Laws were passed, making it illegal to disturb Historical Sites. The pictured artifacts, as well as hundreds of other relies of the fur trade era can be seen at the Pioneer Museum, Elk Point.
