DGAC Summit 2017
One of the highlights of the year, at least for those of us involved in dangerous goods regulations, is the annual summit meeting of the Dangerous Goods Advisory Council (DGAC). This year, it was held in Crystal City, just outside of Washington, DC, and as always had many speakers from both government and industry. Of course ICC attended, and I was graciously invited to give a couple of talks on the Canadian Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Regulations, and to take part in a fun closing activity known as "speed-dating the regulators".
The introductory talk was given by Brigham McCown, former deputy administrator of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). As a longtime political insider, he discussed the state of the department under the new administration, and how the once "sleepy little agency" was moving forward. He identified top trends in transportation such as infrastructure investment, autonomous (self-driving) vehicles, drones, and of course reducing unnecessary regulatory burden while still ensuring public safety. He mentioned that the new Secretary of Transportation, Elaine Chao, was experienced and would help the department adapt.
Other speakers representing PHMSA included Shane Kelly, who provided an overview of upcoming changes to hazardous materials regulations, and a report on the United Nations Transport of Dangerous Goods Sub‐Committee by Steven Webb, Aaron Wiener, and Lindsey Constantino. Amy Parker of the U.S. Coast Continue Reading…

Chiropractic Care for Scoliosis in Queens, NY
Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine that affects five to seven million Americans. It may occur in conjunction with lordosis, an abnormal forward curvature of the spine, or kyphosis, an abnormal backward curvature of the spine. Scoliosis is often inherited; it most often appears in children aged 10 to 15 and is more common in girls than in boys. In about 80 percent of cases, scoliosis is idiopathic, meaning that no cause can be identified. In the other 20 percent of cases, trauma, tumors, disease, and other causes are responsible. If you suffer from scoliosis, chiropractic care at Dr. Lee's Spine Center in Queens, NY can help you manage pain and other symptoms to enjoy a fuller, happier life.
Diagnosing and Treating Scoliosis with Chiropractic
Though scoliosis can affect people of any age, it most commonly develops in preteens and young adolescents. Scoliosis can cause back pain, perhaps its most noticeable symptom, but it can also affect the functioning of major organs like the heart and lungs. In severe cases, scoliosis can affect movement. Because scoliosis often affects young people at a sensitive stage of their social development, the condition can cause problems with self-image and self-esteem. Many children and teens with scoliosis suffer teasing or bullying thanks to their condition.
Dr. Lee diagnoses scoliosis by taking a thorough medical history and performing an in-depth physical exam. If you or your partner have scoliosis, make sure to mention it to Dr. Lee, since the condition is often hereditary; children whose parents have scoliosis are more likely to develop it themselves. Analysis of the patient's posture and X-rays are usually enough to make a definitive diagnosis.
Four-fifths of scoliosis cases are mild, with curves of less than 20 degrees. It is usually not possible to see such a mild curve with the naked eye, and such mild curves are not usually cause for great concern. While most cases of scoliosis are not progressive, Dr. Lee will want to monitor scoliosis for signs of progression, especially if it occurs in a child or adolescent who is still growing. Young girls who have not yet had their first periods are at the greatest risk for scoliosis progression. Monitoring scoliosis progression may require X-rays as frequently as every three months, or as infrequently as once a year.
Most cases of scoliosis can be managed with conservative treatment. Dr. Lee can help manage pain and discomfort with regular chiropractic adjustments. Exercise and electric muscle stimulation can also help manage symptoms of mild scoliosis. Growing children who have scoliosis curves of 25 to 45 degrees may benefit from wearing a brace. Patients with scoliosis curves greater than 45 degrees, or those whose scoliosis is affecting major organ function, may require corrective surgery. For the most part, people with scoliosis manage to lead normal, full, and productive lives. Scoliosis is typically not severe enough to inhibit physical activity, or activity of any kind.

5 of 21 properties sell in last-ditch tax foreclosure auction
Taking a chance paid off for Washtenaw County Treasurer Catherine McClary and four municipalities hoping for any reimbursement on unpaid property taxes at a last-chance tax-foreclosure auction this week.
"It was very successful," McClary said.
The starting bid on each — since they'd already gone through online auctions earlier in the year — was $350.
Five of the 21 sold, generating $24,700.
The properties that sold include an abandoned alley in Ann Arbor, a house in Ypsilanti, a house in Scio Township and two groups of condominium land in Ypsilanti Township.
One bidder paid $17,000 for 54 parcels in the Lakewood development, located at Huron River Drive and Textile. Part of the Lakewood property sold at a previous auction. Another bidder paid $1,000 for dozens of lots in the Rivergrove complex, located at Grove and Bridge roads.
And if that seems low, it probably reflects the limited value for development land in communities that were overbuilt — and affected by high rates of foreclosure and value drops.
"That's about all it's worth right now," McClary said of the Rivergrove land, based on the sale price.
Even with the relative bargains on the purchases, McClary said she hopes municipalities work with the buyers as they make plans for them. Issues likely will include the tax rates. Buyers have to pay 2011 taxes, and they may still reflect pre-recession values and not the bargain-basement auction rate.
The purchases, McClary said, offer "a chance to start over. Maybe not for the same person (who'd owned it), but for the community and the neighborhood."
Meanwhile, McClary's staff is watching the tax foreclosure list for 2011. Properties on the list will be published at year-end, and the owners face a March 31 redemption deadline if they don't pay before that date.
"My staff is telling me we have more properties (on the list)," she said. More of them are houses, with many of them — like this year's original batch of 639 properties headed into tax foreclosure — are bank walk-aways.
The first tax foreclosure auction in 2012 will start July 17 on auction.com.
Sun, Nov 6, 2011 : 4:03 a.m.
that's a less than robust 20% that were sold.

Four faculty and two staff members at Gadsden State Community College will be honored during an employee recognition program at 2 p.m. Oct. 25 at the Oxford Performing Arts Center.
"We are recognizing outstanding teachers both in and out of the classroom as well as exceptional members of our staff," said Dr. Martha Lavender, president. "The awards show the commitment we have had Gadsden State to excellence in teaching and in service."
The Exceptional Achievement in Teaching Award is the highest honor bestowed on the faculty at Gadsden State. Each of the four awards given recognizes career achievements in teaching with emphasis on concrete accomplishments and proven results.
The Brenda Crowe Exceptional Achievement in Teaching Award is named for the former dean of institutional advancement and community Services. The winner is Dr. Richard Dobbs, a history and political science instructor and division chair for Social Sciences. He is currently serving the College as the leader of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges preparation team. He has also advised the Trans-Pacific Leadership Program, the Political Science Student Association, the Gadsden State Political Club and the Gadsden State International Club.
The Pierce C. Cain Exceptional Achievement in Teaching Award is given to a member of the academic faculty and is named for the founding president of what is now the Ayers Campus. This year's recipient is Laetitia Hutchinson, a psychology instructor at the Ayers Campus. She is the academic advisor for the Key Club and serves on the Alabama District Key Club State Adult Advisory Board as the chairperson of the Northeast Alabama zone. She is also a member of the Gadsden Kiwanis Club.
The award given to a member of the technical faculty is known as the Eugene Prater Exceptional Achievement in Teaching Award, which honors the founder of what is now Gadsden State's Valley Street Campus. The winner is Kristina Clifton, who has been a cosmetology instructor at Gadsden State since 2012. She currently serves as administrator of the program, which has been in existence for over 25 years. She volunteers as the advisor for Gadsden State's SkillsUSA, serves as coordinator for the state program and is on the team for the national SkillsUSA competition.
The Beverly Hill Award is given to a member of the health sciences faculty. Hill was a nursing instructor at Gadsden State who helped develop the curriculum, programs and projects for the emergency medical services program. The award goes to John Hollingsworth, the lead EMS instructor at Gadsden State. Hollingsworth has taught at Gadsden State since 2010 on multiple campuses. He is responsible for coordinating objectives and curriculum development as well as developing student learning outcomes and unit strategic planning.
The Staff Excellence in Service Award is being bestowed on two individuals and recognizes more than their ability to perform their responsibilities in a proficient and capable manner.
"Excellent professional and staff employees choose to achieve a higher level of performance and productivity," Lavender said. "They work with the students, faculty, administrators and other staff to contribute to a positive climate that fosters effective teaching and learning by performing their duties at a consistently high level of superiority."
Winners of the Staff Excellence in Service Award are Melissa Davis and Jennifer Williams. Davis is the director of Student Support Services and has worked at Gadsden State since 2004.
Williams has worked at Gadsden State since 2010. She has been in her current position as a transcript evaluator since May 2013. She has been honored many times with such awards as the Excellence in Service to Students Award from the National Society of Leadership and Success and the Excellence Award from the National Institute of Staff and Organizational Development. She is also a member of the 2014 Class for the Chancellor's Award for Staff Personnel.
Each of the award recipients receives $1,000 in discretionary funds within the appropriate department or division budget for the academic year to be used for equipment, professional development or teaching supplies.
Members of the media are invited to the recognition program. Please RSVP by calling Jackie Brehm Edmondson at 256-549-8224 or emailing email@example.com. You can also contact Edmondson if you would like additional information.

We have just returned from a holiday at the San Antonio, where we have been going for many years and the staff NEVER fails to offer a first class service.

The BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized, codable computer that allows anyone to get creative with technology. Made possible through a major partnership with 31 organisations, a micro:bit has been given ...
How can I implement a low power wireless receiver with the microbit?
Topic last updated 23 May 2017, by 1 reply.
# 22 Aug 2016
Hello! I have a microbit device broadcasting a sensor value over the radio very often. This device has mains power. My second device is going to be low power, and run on a battery. This device needs to utilize deep sleep and have the radio off most of the time. I am using the [[https://www.element14.com/community/external-link.jspa?url=https%3A%2F%2Flancaster-university.github.io%2Fmicrobit-docs%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F|uBit]] framework with the mBed IDE / Compiler ecosystem. I am using the [[https://www.element14.com/community/external-link.jspa?url=https%3A%2F%2Flancaster-university.github.io%2Fmicrobit-docs%2Fubit%2Fradio%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F|uBit.radio]] functionality, which seems like a very basic and simple way of sending data. Things seem to work fine on the broadcaster end, but i am really uncertain how the receiving functionality is implemented. What i need is functionality which allows me to turn on the radio in RX mode for short amounts of time, and sleep the rest of the time. I have considered [[https://www.element14.com/community/external-link.jspa?url=https%3A%2F%2Flancaster-university.github.io%2Fmicrobit-docs%2Fble%2Fprofile%2F%23introductionhttp%3A%2F%2F|BLE]], but i need a 1->many system with some mesh features. I do not think the uBit BLE API lets me control advertising and scanning manually. It might look like i must bypass the Microbit stuff and program this like a normal nRF51. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! -Anders
# 23 May 2017
Dear Andres, How are you doing? I also want do the similar things on the blue tooth using uBit framework. One microbit (Tx)- sending the Temperature value through Bluetooth to my PC/ Raspberry pi (Rx) .where i trying to push that data to some cloud server. Any thoughts ? Have you any new idea/help for your questions. Many thoughts :) With regards, Chandra

Welcome to the Belgian Classic's season… don't forget to grit your teeth as rider and spectator!
There is a special kind of electricity in the air when you shiver in anticipation waiting for the sounds of the helicopter, closely followed by the distant ground rumbling of tyres and the sight of blurring colours coming fast towards you. You hold your breathe as the snaking swarm approaches fast, twisting and turning its metal at speeds deemed impossible. The kinetic energy of the rollercoasting peloton has to be felt for real and perhaps even on a day of zero temperatures the diehard riders and spectators just love the pain and suffering! The Omloop Het Nieuwsblad never fails to deliver!
So wearing polar trekking garb and carrying only tuna butties and chocolate, M and I headed out for another exciting 3-location trek-photoshoot. Last year we covered the same race with similar locations but the weather was on our side then (10 degrees and sunshine!). This time the challenges for me were to stay barely alive, trek fast over frozen terrain and handle my new Canon camera in polar mitts!
The landscape was pretty haunting at times; everything still, frozen in time. Trekking is such a pleasure in such silence but its important to keep moving even if the photo opportunities are tempting you to hang about for longer!
My heart went out to the riders. No amount of leg and hand warmers, overshoes and oversocks, and chin-wrapping buffs is going to protect you from the cold air biting into your cheeks and nose. Fortunately for the riders, the 10% threat of snow didn't become a reality until well after the race, where it swirled around me and friends past the midnight hours in Ninove.
My Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 2013 race unfolds below…

Merck emerged victorious in the first federal lawsuit for Vioxx but the drug company faces an uphill battle as thousands of cases remain pending.
Whitehouse Station, N.J.-Merck logged its second Vioxx win after a New Orleans jury rejected a claim by the widow of Richard Irvin, a Florida man who died in 2001. Evelyn Irvin-Plunkett alleged her husband's use of Vioxx led, in part, to his fatal heart attack.
The Irvin-Plunkett case involved a plaintiff who had multiple long-standing cardiovascular risk factors and was a short-term user of Vioxx (less than one month), according to John Boris of Bear Stearns in a note issued to clients today.
"The legal hurdle will increase for Merck going forward as upcoming cases involve Long-Term (LT) Vioxx use cases," the pharmaceutical analyst said.
The next trial for Merck is set for Feb. 27 and will take place in New Jersey Superior Court. The consolidated case involves two patients who each used Vioxx for 25 months and 49 months, respectively.
At the end of 2005, Merck's legal reserves totaled approximately $685 million, Boris noted, which is expected to cover the company's litigation costs through 2007.
The Bear Stearns analyst maintained a "peer perform" rating on Merck. "We believe the downside risk from current levels is limited anchored by Merck offering an attractive 4.4% dividend."

The reason I gave it a Good rating is because the tenants with dogs do not respect the tenants on the first Read Morefloor, they do not control their pets very well, they allow them to go in your balcony area and don't take the time to pick up the waste and I for one do not want to step in their pets waste. Meridan Bay has a very nice dog park for the pets but only a select few use it. Also, I wish there was somewhere the tenants could walk for exercise.

Rahul campaigns for Congress candidate in Malda
All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary Rahul Gandhi arrived in the district town of Malda on the border with Bangladesh to campaign for two candidates from the Khan Chowdhury family for the Lok Sabha elections. Arindam Sarkar reports.india Updated: Apr 25, 2009 03:02 IST
All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary Rahul Gandhi arrived in the district town of Malda on the border with Bangladesh to campaign for two candidates from the Khan Chowdhury family for the Lok Sabha elections.
The venue of Gandhi's rally, the Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Vidyamandir Kendra Grounds, has a special significance for his family, as both his grandmother and father, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, addressed rallies at the ground.
In 1971, before then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi sent the Indian army marching into then East Pakistan, she announced it here in this town. The rally was attended by Siddhartha Shankar Ray, then minister in charge of Bengal affairs, and ABA Ghani Khan Chowdhury, then a local star in the Congress.
"In 1976, Sanjay Gandhi was invited to Malda by Ghani Khan Chowdhury," recalled Abu Hashem Khan Chowdhury, Ghani Khan Chowdhury's brother. Rajiv Gandhi also developed a special fondness for Malda. After Ghani Khan Chowdhury became Union Minister for Programme Implementation in 1980, he invited Rajiv to Malda. And in 1982, Rajiv did his first road show in this town.
In 1982, Ghani Khan Chowdhury became the Railways Minister and in 1984, a few months before Indira Gandhi's assassination, AICC general secretary Rajiv Gandhi visited Malda with his wife Sonia Gandhi.
"There is no doubt that my brother shared terrific relations with Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. Rajiv, in 1984, wanted my brother to become AICC general secretary," said Abu Hashem Khan Chowdhury.
After Rajiv Gandhi's assassination, Sonia visited Malda in 1998 as AICC president when the district was hit by a terrible flood. "She stayed and supervised rescue operations and flood control management," said Mausam Benazir Noor, Ghani Khan Chowdhury's niece.
Sonia appointed Ghani Khan Chowdhury as the West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee chief in 1998. Even after his death in April 2006, the ties between the Gandhis and the successors of Ghani Khan were intact.
Sonia gave Abu Hashem Khan Chowdhury a ticket to contest the Lok Sabha by-poll from Malda. She also campaigned for him. In 2008, when Ghani's sister and legislator Ruby Noor died, Sonia gave a ticket to her daughter Mausam Benazir Noor to contest the by-poll from Shujapur.
In 2009 general elections, the Khan Chowdhury family bagged tickets for both North and South Malda. Rahul came to campaign for them on Friday and Sonia Gandhi will come on April 27.

Experts believe this stone block formed part of a row of anchor points for fastening victims in gladiatorial games. © English Heritage
A recent discovery has confirmed archaeologists' theories that gladiatorial games were played out in Chester's Roman amphitheatre.
The most conclusive proof yet that the gory activities were held in the amphitheatre – Britain's largest – came when archaeologists from English Heritage and Chester City Council unearthed a large stone block in the centre of the arena.
The block, which has an iron fitting fastened onto the top, is similar to two that were found in the northern half of the arena in the 1960s. However, the third one is significant in that it shows the blocks formed a row of evenly spaced anchors along the axis of the arena, used to chain victims during spectacles. The victims may have been human or animal, but what is certain is that more went on in this auditorium than ceremonial military displays.
A mosaic from the Roman villa at Bignor, West Sussex, depicts the same kind of stone block with an iron ring in the top and a pair of gladiators fighting across it.

"Any thought that Chester's amphitheatre was used purely for military purposes such as military tattoos or drill practice can now be firmly banished," said Dan Garner, an archaeologist with Chester City Council.
"Up to now, we have found human and animal remains to suggest that gladiatorial games may have taken place, but the discovery of the third chain block put that suggestion beyond any doubt," he said. "I daresay that people met a rather brutal end in Chester's arena some 1,900 years ago."
The find has also opened up a new line of enquiry for those investigating the amphitheatre.
"There are still a number of questions – whether humans or animals were chained, whether the chains were long or short, or whether the chains passed though the ring on the stone allowing a degree of free movement," said Tony Wilmott, an archaeologist at English Heritage.
"It is possible the blocks were also used for displaying exotic animals or for executing criminals who would be cast into the arena together with violent beasts."
Gladiators trained to handle and fight many different types of animals were known as 'bestiarius'.

"What is certain is the Roman's flair for mass entertainment," continued Tony. "By chaining victims to these blocks along the long axis, they are trying to make sure that spectators have the maximum view of whatever was happening and preventing victims from sheltering against the arena wall, where they could only be seen by half of the audience."
Recent research due to be discussed at a Roman amphitheatre symposium in Chester this weekend also includes new perspectives on the architecture of the Chester amphitheatre.
New excavations have given evidence for eight 'vomitoria' – vaulted stairways opening onto the street – evenly spaced around the structure. This indicates a high outer wall, but even more interesting has been the discovery of two foundation stones for substantial half columns.

The half columns in turn point to another layer of columns on top, in line with laws of proportion. On top of these would have been entablatures – the horizontal stoneworks that rest on the top of columns in classical architecture.
Analysis of the architectural scheme of the Chester amphitheatre has allowed English Heritage to make reconstructions of it, demonstrating its height and grandeur with a highly elaborate decorative treatment on the exterior. This fine exterior is really extraordinary for Roman Britain – few similar examples are found north of the Alps. Experts say the closest parallels to Chester Amphitheatre are the Colosseum in Rome and the amphitheatre of El Djem, Tunisia.
These findings from English Heritage and Chester City Council's collaborative excavations and studies of Chester's amphitheatre and much more will be presented at the international symposium 'Roman Amphitheatres and Spectacula: a 21st century perspective' running in Chester on February 17 and 18 2007.
"These findings will not only change the way historians think about Roman Chester," said Tony Wilmott, chair of the symposium, "but will engender very interesting discussion on the social and cultural meaning of amphitheatres and arena spectacles across the whole of the Roman Empire."

Too much testosterone in the system. In societies where female infanticide still exists, this is bound to happen. In societies where the only definition of manhood taught is of insensitive and mindless toughness, this was waiting to happen. And it is not for the first time. Nor the last. And this testosterone is radioactive. If they are allowed to spread in open space, flesh will not burn. It will melt. Human flesh.
But like the American sport of chicken where a headlong collision is risked to show who has better nerves, there go the manly men of India and Pakistan. Chappan inch ki chatti (56-inch chest) versus the men on horseback. A clash seems imminent even if avoidable. And the cheerleader? Yes, that good old custodian of free speech, rights and democratic values — the media.
Since I live in Pakistan, you can look up and see for yourself how much I have already written on our own brand of deplorables. Forgive me, if today I try talking about the other half of the story. The ones we witnessed in just a week. On the other side of the divide. No, wait. I am not shirking away from self-blame. We are more or less the same racial stock. With a painful legacy of failure to transform. Our repeated experiments to democratise the crashed and burnt. Until recently. Now we are at a stage we can call ourselves a democracy. A nascent democracy. A leapfrogging democracy. But democracy nevertheless. And the countless failures had already damaged us. They did such a number on us that some among us ended up killing somewhere between sixty and seventy thousands of us. We are not beyond reproach but admire our courage to try again. To rebuild again. To dream again. And yes we deplorables. Quite a lot of them. But countless among us spent sleepless nights planning, plotting to bring them back to the fold of civilisation.
Now let's talk about India. Our nemesis. But why? Nobody knows. It is an old ritual of hate that has got a new lease on life. So India, our nemesis, cannot handle Kashmir. And to it pictures of children blinded by pellets mean nothing. How many have been blinded? How many have been killed? But nothing. Then comes an attack on soldiers. Or so we are told. 17 are killed. Mostly not by gunfire but the fire caught by a depot adjacent to the camp. And Indian media and politicians who has done this. There are tweets. There are news shows. Army's soldiers so army's word. Indian DGMO doesn't talk about any infiltration. A phone talk with his Pakistani counterpart regarding markings on belongings of the attackers but no infiltration. This from the horse's mouth. And yet his briefing is not aired live. Or so I was told. Within seconds it is taken off air. Previewed perhaps. Then aired. Wait, soldiers are supposed to be the greatest warmongers in the world. If a government thinks its soldiers cannot be trusted and may go soft, imagine the paranoia of the said government then.
Then media cheerleaders start building case for a war. A nuclear war. Yes, we will also suffer. But we will annihilate the enemy. Sure. But, hey, wait. Don't you have children too? Are you ready to risk their lives and futures too? Testosterone again. And such hatred. You can't progress if you don't love your children more than you hate your enemy. But you know how it is. And they know they don't have to fight. They will sit on their cosy sets and pour out vitriol while soldiers go to die and poor peasants get annihilated.
But here is the thing. We are a broken, shaken, devastated, clumsy, impoverished and deeply wounded bunch of people who have only just begun their true democratic journey less than a decade ago. What is your excuse dear India? In common parlance you had it all. Money, democracy, national pride, strong defences, support from the entire world, culture, entertainment and so, so much more. Why did you then vote in a cabal of deplorables and allowed it to change you profoundly and irreversibly? Where did all that depth, moderation and maturity which comes with affluence and democracy?
As for the war rhetoric, you have no idea how we have lived for past decade and a half, knowing any random act of terrorism can kill or cripple us forever. You can't be more ready to die a silly, ridiculous and meaningless death than we are. Think about that for a second.

From The Verge:
Today, the International Olympic Committee said individual sports federations will be responsible for barring Russian athletes from this summer's games in Rio. The ruling comes just 12 days before the start of the games, and the call is now left to the 28 federations that oversee individual sports at the Olympics.
The decision follows a report released earlier this week that confirmed a state-supported Russian doping program. While the IOC Executive Board has deferred the decision to the individual federations, they have taken a firm stance on the participation of Russian athletes. Stating that each athlete bears some collective responsibility for their country's actions, the board ruled that the nation's athletes will be barred from each of the 28 sports, unless certain criteria are met:
The IOC was under pressure from over a dozen national anti-doping organizations to issue a blanket ban on Russian athletes, The New York Times reported. And on July 22nd, Russia was banned from competing in the Paralympics after 35 doping violations were found among Russian Paralympians; these violations had been hidden by the Russian sports ministry, the Times reported.
In its statement, the IOC noted that the IP Report didn't point directly at the Russian Olympics Committee as an institution, but made the determination that all Russian athletes looking to attend the games were "considered to be affected by a system subverting and manipulating the anti-doping system." Because the IP report hadn't comprehensively examined the data due to the amount of time available to its authors, the IOC decided that its results should not be restricted to the 20 sports highlighted in the findings.
"Under these exceptional circumstances," the IOC said in the statement, "Russian athletes in any of the 28 Olympic summer sports have to assume the consequences of what amounts to a collective responsibility …

Hello. I noticed this article by a British doctor asking Atheists "Twenty Questions Atheists Struggle To Answer." I always enjoy a challenge so I answered them and emailed the following letter to him with my answers.
1. I would appreciate any comments, critiques, proposed revisions, additions, deletions YOU think would make my responses stronger/better.
2. These questions, some more so than others, may help you formulate your own responses for both your own edification, critical thinking skills and to assist others to "break the spell."
Kind regards to all.
Dear Dr. Saunders:
I apologize for being so late to the "game" but I only noticed your article playing "20 questions" today. Despite not being a scientist (retired trial attorney) I wanted to respond to your questions , not to attempt to persuade you of anything, but to see whether I should rethink my lapse from Christianity and rejoin the faithful. Any help you can provide would be genuinely appreciated. I am a seeker of truth and you believe you have some to offer. Please do. My answers are beneath each of your twenty questions. Please note that scientists DO struggle to answer many questions, including some you have posed, because science does not presume to know everything. Why and how the absence of perfect knowledge supports your belief in a triune deity despite no evidence thereof (unless you believe there IS such evidence, which would appear to contradict the very foundation of all religious belief, i.e. faith), is unclear to me. Hopefully, you will be kind enough to explain.
I would genuinely appreciate your answers to your questions or, if you deem them unanswerable, the reasons you believe the inability to answer these questions supports belief in a deity, especially YOUR deity, since you will agree there are others worshipped with equal faith, albeit incorrectly in your view, by others.
"Twenty questions atheists struggle to answer" (Your title, I believe)
1.What caused the universe to exist?
A. Nothing. See "A Universe From Nothing" by Lawrence Krauss. The explanation contained therein is subject to falsification as all scientific theories are. Feel free. Assuming a cause is required (you do based on your question. I do not, but I could be wrong), what caused your God? If your God does not require a cause, why does the Universe?
2.What explains the fine tuning of the universe?
A. Not sure. Science is still working on that one. I would point out that what you and others call "fine tuning" is simply human language attempting to describe what IS, as best we humans are able to describe what we OBSERVE in our universe. I enjoyed reading "Six Numbers" even though I did not understand a lot of the technical jargon. But I do understand that science has given us more meaningful answers in just the past one hundred years than all the religions of the world have given us throughout human history. Do you disagree? Science cured polio, hundreds of other diseases; observed that the Sun, not the Earth, is the center of our Solar system; "expanded" our universe to hundreds of billions of galaxies; and continues to make human life on Earth better and better. Any reason you can think of why Jesus, God himself according to you, never mentioned any of this valuable information while he was here saving us from "original sin" and "demons"? It's a fair question, right?
3.Why is the universe rational?
A. This appears to be two questions: Is the Universe rational? And, if so, why? I accept that humans are rational, or, at least capable of reason, but I have no idea what it means to refer to the Universe (by which I mean EVERYTHING there is) as rational. I am not an engineer but I understand we cannot build much of anything complex without the assistance of irrational numbers such as pi and the square root of negative one. If I am correct, that suggests to me the Universe is NOT rational, at least not in all respects. Regardless of the answer to this question, I do not see how gods enter into it.
4.How did DNA and amino acids arise?
A. Not sure if science knows the answer YET. But if it doesn't, it will someday. The answer will produce yet more questions even more difficult to answer. Do you really want to support your belief in God based on the "gaps" in human knowledge? The "god of the gaps" is so Nineteenth Century, don't you agree? I don't mean to "change the subject" on you, but are you a Biblical Literalist? Do you spend as much time questioning the Bible as you do science? Slavery? Genocide? Misogyny? Are you okay with these or am I misunderstanding the plain language of the Bible? Couldn't God have written his revelation in clear, unambiguous language?
5.Where did the genetic code come from?
A. See answer to 4.
6.How do irreducibly complex enzyme chains evolve?
A. See answer to 4. Also please recall that realizing the Earth revolved around the Sun was "irreducibly complex" for a long, long time AND flatly contradicted by the Bible. You do agree the Earth revolves around the Sun, right?
7.How do we account for the origin of 116 distinct language families?
A. "116"? Really. Not 115, or 117? We have discovered precisely 116? You are being silly, either intentionally or unwittingly. Human language has been evolving for thousands of years and continues to do so. When did Latin disappear and French, Italian, Spanish, et cetera begin? Which came first the chicken or the egg? THIS kind of analysis convinces you there MUST be a god? Please explain.
8.Why did cities suddenly appear all over the world between 3,000 and 1,000BC?
A. Am far more interested in YOUR answer to this, than whatever archeology, anthropology and other sciences have to say. Do you believe this somehow demonstrates God was involved? Is the answer staring me in the face in the Bible? Please explain the significance of this ASSUMPTION (My understanding is that cities existed long prior to 3,000BCE).
9.How is independent thought possible in a world ruled by chance and necessity?
A. Sorry. I really do not see the apparent inconsistency you see. Science still working on how we think, but we DO think. Independently? My thoughts certainly APPEAR to be independent of your thoughts. The world is NOT "ruled" by anyone or anything other than "e=mc2" until someone comes up with a better theory. God don't enter into it. BTW, any reason God has not "revealed" anything since New Testament codified ? When do you contend God's latest revelation took place? Does NT tell us everything we need to know? If not, why not? When you medically diagnose patients, do you use the Bible? If so, how? If not, why not? Just curious.
10.How do we account for self-awareness?
A. That's a tough one, isn't it? Synapses? What is your answer? "God gave it to us." Do you really find that helpful and informative? I think I'll wait for science to observe, experiment and REASON its way to an answer.
11.How is free will possible in a material universe?
A. Who says we have "free will"? How do you even define it? We make choices every day. Do we REALLY have a choice? How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? THAT is religion trying to be profound. But it isn't. Religion is on the silly side of this question, not science or Atheism. We have brains and we do not fully understand how they work. What we DO understand comes from science, reason and "worldly knowledge." Do you find it ironic that the Bible contains not one word praising human knowledge? You should because we've accomplished quite a bit by opposing god-myths and superstition masquerading as revelation. Do you believe a snake/serpent spoke to and tempted Eve? Your answer will tell me a lot about you.
12.How do we account for conscience?
A. see answer to 11. Also, evolution. Helping others, avoiding harm to others had significant benefits to everyone, i.e. it was a "selfish" act to be "unselfish." We did not need a god to tell us that. It works.
13.On what basis can we make moral judgements?
A. Is "judgements" with an "e" a typo or a British thing? Either way, we make them based upon our common experience over time. That's why morality changes. Slavery was ALWAYS evil but it took us time to figure that out and come to a consensus. If we listened to your God, slavery would still exist worldwide and would be perfectly moral, as would genocide and misogyny and polygamy. I prefer modern morality to Biblical morality. My meme is winning, albeit not fast enough.
14.Why does suffering matter?
A. Terrible phrasing by you but suffering is to be avoided whenever possible because it opposes human happiness. This is the only life we get (as far as we know) so that making it as pleasant and free from suffering as possible just makes sense. We should also be concerned about the suffering of our fellow species even though god, if he existed, clearly was NOT concerned about it. "Suffering" evolved with the "food chain"/predator and prey/et cetera. No loving god would have designed nature in so bloodthirsty a fashion. Except, apparently, YOUR God. Please respond as you deem appropriate. Nature is not moral. Nature wants to reproduce itself. You know, The Selfish Gene, written by your favorite Atheist.
15.Why do human beings matter?
A. For any and all reasons we decide we matter. You can find NO reason why we matter without God? Look at your wife, your children, your friends. Of all the claims implicit in your twenty questions, this is the most offensive, if not the most evidencing ignorance masquerading as religious ideology. Shame on you.
16.Why care about justice?
A. Because the only alternative (which has been tried) is anarchy and resulting chaos. "Justice" helps to keep us from killing/hurting each other. Blood feuds are costly to society. "Justice"/law codes provide a measure of confidence that people will be treated fairly and, therefore do not need to exact justice on their own. Human justice much better than God's justice. We no longer kill people for picking firewood on the Sabbath; disobeying and being unruly to parents; fucking your aunt, et cetera. We have a long way to go but we have come quite far thanks to contradicting the Bible rather than following it. I would love to hear any disagreement you may have.
17.How do we account for the almost universal belief in the supernatural?
A. Human desire for answers in a pre-scientific world unable to provide very many. Unfortunately, this was exacerbated by ascendance of Christianity after Constantine in 309CE. It kept us in the Dark Ages for more than a thousand years and would love to take us back there. Not going to happen. BTW, there is no belief in a personal god/supernatural among most Chinese. Ergo, Belief in Supernatural NOT almost universal, and decreasing at an accelerating rate, but, living in Britain, you are well aware of that fact.
18.How do we know the supernatural does not exist?
A. Technically, we don't. BUT, only technically, because you cannot prove a negative. If gods existed, at least one of them surely would have shown herself to us by now--clearly, unambiguously--"Here I am. This is what I want." Instead, we have myths and folk tales collected hundreds of years afterwards and promulgated as revelation by persons wanting to control other persons. Tough to argue with words/laws given by God himself. Nothing more than a clever and effective control mechanism. What else do you believe without evidence?
19.How can we know if there is conscious existence after death?
A. Easy. We will all die and find out. Has anybody spoken to you from the grave?
20. What accounts for the empty tomb, resurrection appearances and growth of the church?
A. Assuming facts not in evidence. Gospels are not evidence of anything other than a new iteration of a then three thousand year old myth: Osiris/Mithras/Dionysius. You should know this. Justin Martyr, early church apologist acknowledged these "similarities"/borrowings from long-existing pagan cults/religions and explained them away as "diabolic mimicry," that is, he said the DEVIL pre-planted these myths into history because the DEVIL knew Jesus was coming and wanted to trick people. Clever Devil, huh?
There is NO contemporary evidence Jesus/Yeshua ever lived. There was no resurrection. All three synoptic gospels, written roughly 70CE, 80CE and 90CE, decades after Jesus allegedly lived, tell the story with irreconcilable contradictions--except to believers who do not care about contradictions. "Everything is possible with God."
Finally, the church was quite small and inconsequential until Constantine had his vision and made it the unofficial state sponsored religion in 309CE. That explains its subsequent growth. It also explains why the first Church "Histories" (and I use that term loosely because they made it up as they wrote it down) were written at that time. There was money and power to be had by being part of the State supported Roman Church. "Follow the money" works here as everywhere else to provide explanation and motive.
Are you really arguing that "size matters"? The Mormons are one of the fastest growing religions in America. The FASTEST growing category worldwide is: No religion. But again, living in Britain you already know this.
I have enjoyed responding to your questions and did not find them particularly difficult to the extent I understood them. Compared to trying to defend the Bible, they were a cakewalk. Please let me know how I did.
Richard Dawkins was just selected by Prospect Magazine's panel of distinguished experts as the most impactful knowledgeable person in the world. Not a single Christian apologist made the list.
I hope to hear from you.
Kind regards,

Richard, introducing p-w duality into the discussion will immediately drive most people away.
Define the word rational so no one will read it in this sense: "Man is a rational being."
Economists use the term rational actor to mean advantage-seeking actor or loss-avoiding actor. Since the universe neither seeks advantage nor avoids losses, this definition fails.
The question needs restatement, perhaps Does reason account for the universe?
Reason can be said to account for the universe in that the laws of physics are reasonable. That is to say, they are consistent with themselves and each other, they are consistent within their own sphere of operation (Newtonian kinematics work fine, just not within an appreciable fraction of the speed of light), and given time, they are knowable.
That is not to say that we know it all here in this moment. I think that Neil deGrasse Tyson once opined that we know maybe 4% of what is out there, though that 4% looks like a lot from the point of view of the ignorance we labored under before we started learning. The point is that there's no magic going on, no effects without causes, no "abracadabra" hand-waving which would introduce a severe discontinuity to what is otherwise a very consistent paradigm.
From the time we started actually learning how reality works, the answer has never been "magic." It never has been, and I'm willing to wager that it never will be.
Loren, I hope you're remembering that Neil Tyson is a showman.
A skilled showman, and one whose vices do not include humility.
Is his evidence for opining 4% better than mine for guessing 10%?
Stating 4, 10, or any number requires knowledge of the totality.
Okay, I confess, my real beef with Tyson is, despite the uncertainties we know, his often-expressed confidence in a big bang explanation. (Please note the bolded word.)
A mere 170 years ago, mathematicians knew nothing of the behavior of parallel lines on a spherical surface.
Despite their lack of knowledge, and despite their lack of knowledge that they lacked knowledge, they hounded the non-euclidian geometers from their Euclid-worshipping society.
Who will say there is no mathematics of singularities, such as the singularity cosmologists assert?
He can be as confident as he wants to be. The overwhelming preponderance of evidence is in his favor, at least in re: the Big Bang theory, and it's not as though he's the only one who subscribes to said theory, not by a long shot. As to his humility, if you ask a question he doesn't know the answer to, I'd bet you a cup of coffee he'd acknowledge his ignorance a lot faster than some idiot-child in a cassock would when asked, "Who made the world?"
As to what what going on 170 years ago, learning and the acquisition of new knowledge is hardly linear. More has been learned in the past 100 years about how this reality works than in all time before then, and the only thing standing in the way of further acceleration is the stupidity of politicians and bible-thumpers who want to push their own agendas. Some parochialism in science is present, sure, but nowhere near the same degree as is evinced by the denizens of Vatican City.
My point remains: when the explanations come (and they will), there will be no magical discontinuities or hocus-pocus involved. There hasn't been to this point, even though quantum physics can try one's patience, and my wager is there never will be.
Loren, you stacked the bet so heavily in your favor (Tyson versus an idiot-child in a cassock!!!) that I won't take it for a cup of coffee that costs only a penny.
The magical discontinuities and hocus-pocus started when an idiot-child in a cassock who'd studied math claimed the universe's entire mass once occupied so little space that an astronomer (Gamow?) satirized the claim with the title "big bang"
The magical discontinuities and hocus-pocus continue each time a cosmologist forgets that mathematical equations AT BEST approximate reality and claims his equations describe reality.
Loren, is that enough heresy for you?
Tom, What is it about Tyson that you dislike? His arrogance, or certainty, or self-confidence that borders on arrogance?
Tom and Loren, What about people such as physicists Richard Feynman, Lawrence Krauss, Brian Greene, and Michio Kaku; evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, and cognitive scientist Daniel Dennett.
Are there other people you recommend?
"mathematical equations AT BEST approximate reality."
Joan, watch a couple of Tyson's performances. You'll probably enjoy them.
Then grade him on the qualities you named: arrogance, certainty, and self confidence. I'll do the same and then let's compare the grades we gave him.
The thing I like about Tyson is his love of astrophysics and his infectious curiosity. He is a performer, of the first order, and he has the wit and wisdom to carry off both science and pleasure ... and excitement. I have emailed him questions several times and he always promptly answers me back ... or his staff does. I caught an error on one program and wrote him about it. He acknowledged my letter and spoke about it on a later program.
His testimony before Congress is thorough, budget aware, he defines the pros and cons of reducing money to science exploration, and he encourages other young scientists. He challenges his fellow pysicist when he disagrees with them, and he listens when his collegues confront him.
So, what is there not to like about the guy?
Tom, any mathematical model is only as good as its ability to predict future behavior, regardless of whether the venue is on the intergalactic scale, as in astronomy, or the molecular / atomic scale as in solid-state physics (my bailiwick). I know for a fact that those equations used to describe the various behaviors of P-N junctions works and damned well. They use them all the time to monitor and correct problems in semiconductor production. They may not be utterly exact, but absolutely good enough to WORK. If they didn't, I would literally be out of a job, as the equipment I work on provides the raw data for test engineers to evaluate the state of the production process as it is. As for astrophysicists (of which Tyson is one), you'd have to ask them, but I would still wager that you would get a similar answer.
As for Tyson's style, I don't see him as arrogant; I see him as engaged and excited by his work. I also see him as being tasked with exciting others about it, as he is the Director of the Hayden Planetarium. It's his goal (stated or not) to excite people about science, something which was easy back in the days of the space race but which now may be far more difficult. He knows his audience well enough not to swamp them with technical terms or details they are not competent to swallow, though in the company of his own kind, I suspect his language would become far more focused and of the discipline which is his specialty.
BTW, it was Georges Lemaître who first posed the concept of the Big Bang. He wasn't an idiot, though he may have worn a cassock, and I'm perfectly willing to credit him with that discovery while at the same time thumbing my nose at his similarly dressed fellows who were still parroting the old saw about "god made the world." Like it or not, the evidence is there and the math works. Cosmic background and microwave radiation and the red-shifting of starlight are well-established facts, as is the increasing acceleration of most of those objects away from us (though we're liable to have a close encounter with Andromeda in a few billion years!) Their calculations may be only approximate, but with more data coming from the Hubble Space Telescope and other resources, I would suspect that those approximations are improving daily.
Tom, if you want to be heretical, get your facts (or theories) straight. The Big Bang works, and from more POVs than I care to count. If you want to overthrow it, you have some heavy lifting to do.
Loren, let's you and I take this discussion off-line.
Can you bear being an A/N "friend" to a heretic?
Loren, I don't see Tyson as arrogant either, and I'm sensitive to arrogant. I can't stand egotism.
When I first saw him on science programs I thought his excitement for the subject went overboard because overly dramatic people rub me the wrong way. I usually like my facts straightforward and presented in a calm manner.
However, as I've come to appreciate the man and his intelligence, his excitement bothers me very little now. I agree that he is a showman and think we need some showmen for science, even though I'm not one.
It is fun listening to physicists discuss how counter-intuitive this topic is. Reading about the struggles of the old men and women of science, and how they had to scheme or camouflage their work so they wouldn't be put to death, I realize we are going through that period once again with quantum physics.
Just as scientists were martyred by religious absolutists, probably for similar reason, except in their case it was because man fell from the center of the universe, the Earth moved around the sun, and religion lost much of its grip on the population. They did what every good religious leader does, they kill those with opposing views. We now witness the same struggle as Bruno and others from the 1300s to 1600s who were burned at the stake for heresy.
Today's religious leaders prohibit science from using their tools to prevent diseases, heal, restore life and make life flourish. Trying to control women's reproductive lives, failing to understand the role of hormones and whatever else is involved in LGBT, and preventing funding for stem cell research presents a different form of killing ideas, even as they allow the sinner to live.

2 Components Individuals Do Certainly Not Figure Out Dealing With LASIK Eye SurgeryThe eye can be analyzed with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the capability to move in the orbit and the response of the pupil to light and lodging.
The function of the eye may be checked in several methods. The patient may be asked to recognize illuminated letter or items of differing sizes on what is called the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of methods. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In particular diseases, specifically in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased considerably.
It should be well remembered that a client with an eye issue might have other issues. Typically other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can inform the physician and the patient to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other signs provide themselves.
As a result, one's reliance on sight is emphasized when one faces a possible or momentary permanent loss of this crucial sense. Hence, when corrective measures are looked for, particular types of vision correction such as contact lenses or glasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some people are troubled with that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgeries were established to encourage reduced utilization of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Essentially, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this type of surgical treatment, one's vision is corrected completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The primary function of this surgery is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, permitting much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that people need to know. Most likely, the main reason this type of eye surgical treatment has ended up being well accepted is since most of its cases had actually been effective.
However, in spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most sensitive part of the eye
Due to the fact that LASIK eye surgery includes the Recommended Reading operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate portions of the eye, many individuals say that the operation can be really dangerous.
Simply puts, a easy mistake could practically trigger an individual's life time loss of sight. It is crucial to consider many factors before deciding whether LASIK eye surgery is the best restorative step one has to go through.
2. It is not a ideal treatment
LASIK eye surgical treatment may fix your vision but it does not necessarily mean that it can offer you a twenty-twenty. Even if statistical reports reveal that 70% of the clients may have 20/20 vision, this does not always indicate they have ideal vision.
Given all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK might not constantly be the ideal eye surgical treatment the method the majority of people see it
Conversely, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye might be made in several ways. It must be well remembered that a patient with an eye problem might have other problems. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can notify the doctor and the patient to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other signs present themselves.
Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction.

NOTE: Since writing this entry the Wedding Video Registry has been temporarily discontinued.
This is the most exciting development yet in a qualified and viable resource for obtaining professional wedding video production at little or no cost to you! This program offers you a way to experience virtually "ZERO!" impact on your already difficult to manage wedding budget while getting a professional video production of your wedding day events far beyond what you thought possible!
Now you don't have to depend on a friend, associate or family member with a video camera to videotape your wedding. They deserve to be a part of the celebration, not a working stiff! And, the pressure of providing some degree of quality with less than professional equipment can often result in headaches, heartaches and hassles - a lot of hurt feelings on both sides of the camera.
Now you don't have to "settle" on a low budget video production company/individual with low experience and mediocre equipment. Sure, there are many "newbies" out there just getting into the business and willing to make you a deal! But, if they are not prepared for contingencies, if they are not backed up with redundant equipment and prepared for those inevitable emergencies, equipment failures, that can arise, it might not be such a bargain after all.
Granted, there are some inexpensive video producers available who do some pretty darn good work for the price, charging anywhere from $800 to $1,000 for a two camera production - well, that's two cameras and one operator, and one camera at your reception.
The Wedding Video Registry professionals ALWAYS provide TWO cameras AND TWO operators at both your ceremony AND your reception! You get limited preceremony coverage, as well as creative coverage of your on site formal photo session, representation of your attending guests before and after the ceremony, the cocktail hour before your reception gets under way, six hours coverage, up to 40 hours of digital editing...
...and EVERYONE who participates in The Wedding Video Registry will get a complete and professionally edited DVD of your wedding day video production.
How can this be?
Simple! Add The Wedding Video Registry to your gift registry listing and notification!
You are probably already familiar with the web and local retail store gift registries. You have likely established a gift registry already. It is helpful for those who need/want to know what you need/want, cuts down on duplicate gifts, helps individuals work together to get you more expensive items an individual normally might not be able to afford.
The Wedding Video Registry works the same way, as a cooperative effort among your family, friends and associates where, based on the number of guests/invitations/announcements you send, and they participate, they are simply purchasing a copy of your professionally videotaped, edited and produced wedding day DVD video. One hundred participants would pay only $18 each, 150 guests, $12 each. More participants could make the individual orders less, or keep the price at $12 to $20 and use the extra to obtain one or more of the many available creative options from The Wedding Video Registry professional video producers.
There's another option in the event you do not have enough guests or participants. Just 50 participants would cut your costs in half. You would budget and pay, out of pocket, just $900 for a production that would cost you three or more times that! And, everyone of those 50 participants will receive a copy of your professionally produced wedding day DVD!
Their participation in The Wedding Video Registry is truly the gift that keeps on giving! The Wedding Video Registry is not intended to replace or eliminate regular gift registry participation. Its purpose is to provide an alternative gift suggestion for those who want to give something more, something unique! Their participation will not only assure the creation of a memorable, meaningful future family heirloom, it is a gift they give that actually GIVES BACK! And it is affordable enough that your video can be in addition to their regular gift presentation from your gift registry suggestions.
Believe me this is a gift that will "be there" probably far longer than any other gift you might receive. Another bonus is that you now have protection against the loss of your wedding day DVD video. With so many exact digital copies of your video available there will always be a resource for replacement in the event yours, or a guest's, copy is lost, damaged or somehow destroyed!
Is this a bit gauche? Well, tell me, do people in general perceive the ongoing tradition of retail gift registries gauche? No! The Wedding Video Registry IS a gift registry! One that is not only reasonably priced, affordable instead of, or in addition to a more traditional gift, but returns its value to the giver who actually will get something for her money!
That's not their intent, but that is still what will happen!
Every participant in The Wedding Video Registry receives a professionally produced digital copy of your soon-to-be heirloom wedding day video! Each and every participant will be named in a special segment at the end of your traditional video production. Each will have the satisfaction of giving you a truly unique and personal gift and, something we all appreciate, being recognized for being so thoughtful.
Complete details regarding The Wedding Video Registry are available at www.weddingvideoregistry.com. You will love the special quality of your professionally produced wedding day video and the knowledge that a lot of people put a lot of love into making it possible.
