STOCKTON - A pivotal lesson on how to reach the Latino community came to Carmen Cervantes decades ago, even before she embarked on what would become a career of developing religious education materials for Spanish-speaking young adults: Translation alone is not enough.
STOCKTON - A pivotal lesson on how to reach the Latino community came to Carmen Cervantes decades ago, even before she embarked on what would become a career of developing religious education materials for Spanish-speaking young adults: Translation alone is not enough.
"It doesn't reflect their lives," said Cervantes, who leads the Stockton-based Instituto Fe y Vida (Institute for Faith and Life). "I have been trying to publish from the Latino perspective."
Latinos, who represent more than half of young American Catholics, are fueling the momentous demographic shift that is expected to see racial and ethnic minorities constitute a U.S. majority by midcentury.
Recognizing and addressing the needs of Latinos - especially young Latinos - will be critical if the Catholic Church is to remain relevant, many experts have said.
And from its small headquarters on Benjamin Holt Drive, Cervantes' Instituto Fe y Vida has emerged as a leader in explaining the Latino experience and identifying the best ways to engage this large and growing constituency. Though focused on the church, her research could prove valuable to other organizations - schools, hospitals and businesses, for example - still struggling to serve Latino clients and customers.
"We need to be training the next wave," Cervantes said. "If we aren't reaching people now, how do we bring the longevity?"
Cervantes was born in Mexico, where she was a cultural anthropology professor before she moved to the United States to complete a doctoral program in education at University of the Pacific.
When then-Bishop Roger Mahoney organized an office for Latino outreach within the Stockton Diocese, Cervantes began contributing to the effort as a volunteer.
Then, in the late 1980s, the Winona, Minn.-based St. Mary's Press invited her to lead a research and publishing project aimed at understanding who young Latino Catholics are, what their lives are like and how best to minister to them.
Instituto Fe y Vida was created out of that project and has gone on to conduct extensive research, develop religious leadership training programs used around the country and to publish a Spanish-language Bible that has sold nearly 500,000 copies throughout the Americas.
An Italian version of that Bible has been produced, and a Portuguese version is in the works.
The development of the Spanish Bible, first published in 2005, revealed considerations for working with Latinos that often are overlooked, Cervantes said.
"We had to find a Spanish that would accommodate all countries and social classes," she said. In Stockton alone, the Latino community is a diverse one, representing a spectrum from poorly educated, Spanish-speaking workers who are new to the country to people like Cervantes, who are bilingual and highly educated and who have decades of experience in the United States.
Another challenge is embodied in the Bible's name, "La Biblia Cat�lica para J�venes."
The word "j�venes" means something similar to the English "youths" or "young adults" but isn't an exact translation of either.
Unlike the young people typically thought of as "youths," Cervantes said, "j�venes" have responsibilities beyond school attendance. Many work and contribute to their households.But unlike "young adults," who might be married or even have children, "j�venes" are single and haven't started families yet.
"The mainstream culture doesn't have a vocabulary for our experience," said Cervantes, who this spring received honorary doctorates from the University of San Francisco and the Catholic University of America in recognition of her contributions to Latino ministry.
Research from Fe y Vida has suggested that while young Latinos represent a significant number of American Catholics, they are less likely than their white counterparts to be part of parish youth groups or even to attend Mass regularly.
Jose Lopez, who coordinates Latino youth and young adult ministry for the Stockton Diocese, said the work of Fe y Vida is helping the church address those disparities.
"These are materials that speak to the daily realities of young Latinos, young Spanish speakers whose lives are in the United States," he said.

Could The India-Pakistan Conflict Go Nuclear? An Expert Explains.
The two countries are both nuclear powers and have been in conflict since 1947.
Eugene Daniels
If experts could describe the relationship between India and Pakistan in one word, it'd probably be adversarial. And that adversarial relationship has lasted, well, since the countries were created. Let's rewind to after the end of World War II. The British decided to back out and what was known as the British Raj was split in two, which is where the problems really started.
"It was fairly hastily decided. There were some sort of basic principles or plans for divisions but they weren't fully adhered to. … What evolves from that is still something both India and Pakistan have to take ownership of. Which is a fairly nasty process," Sameer Lalwani, an expert on the region with the Stimson Center, recently told Newsy.
That's led to three major wars and consistent fighting across the border. There have been attempts to get along but something always goes wrong, sometimes because of terrorism.
"In public statements, Pakistan is much more of a vocal advocate for conflict resolution. Whenever the two parties are close resolving this or getting the process started, spoilers tend to emerge from the Pakistani side. On the other side, India routinely seems to eschew the the possibility of conflict resolution by prioritizing the issue of terrorism above all else," Lalwani said.
You may be thinking this doesn't concern us here in the U.S. If this is a fight between neighboring countries and doesn't really leave the borders, why should you care? Nukes.
"It's the only place in the world where you have two nuclear powers that regularly, almost on a daily basis shooting at each other. When people think about the highest risk of a nuclear war, the highest probability seems to be with India and Pakistan just because of the daily kinetic activity that doesn't exist with North Korea. That doesn't exist with Russia and China," Lalwani said.
That nuclear component has forced the rest of the world to pay more attention to the region, but if there's going to be an ending to the conflict, Lalwani thinks it's likely going to be bilateral and incremental. It's in their rational and strategic interests.
"We might be more hopeful for something like modus vivendi, which is sort of a live and let live situation rather than a full-fledged conflict resolution formalized process, but a modus vivendi can sort of lead to a conflict resolution. Like cease-fires can eventually can become the basis for peace accords if you can get to that stage," Lalwani said.

Customer Terms of Service
Updated 02 January 2019
These Customer Terms of Service (the "Customer Terms") describe your rights and responsibilities when using our online workplace communication tools and platform (the "Yapster Services") and govern your access and use of the same.
These "Customer Terms" Form a Part of a Binding "Contract"
These Customer Terms and the Order Form (typically found at the end of a Yapster proposal) together form a binding "Contract" between Customer and us. "We," "our" and "us" refer to Employee Republic Limited (trading as Yapster) a company limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales under company registration number 09458604 whose registered office is at 150A Station Rd, Woburn Sands MK17.
Your Agreement On Behalf of "Customer"
By signing the Order Form you acknowledge your understanding of the Contract and agree to the Contract on behalf of Customer.
Customer Choices and Instructions
"Customer" is the organisation that you represent in agreeing to the Contract. Individuals authorised by Customer to access the Yapster Services (an "Authorised User") may submit content or information to the Yapster Services, such as messages or files ("Customer Data"), and Customer may exclusively provide us with instructions on what to do with it. For example, Customer may provision or deprovision access to the Yapster Services, enable or disable third party integrations, manage permissions, retention and export settings, transfer or assign teams, share channels, or consolidate teams or channels with other teams or channels.
Customer will (a) inform Authorised Users of all Customer policies and practices that are relevant to their use of the Yapster Services and of any settings that may impact the processing of Customer Data; and (b) obtain all rights, permissions or consents from Authorised Users and other Customer personnel that are necessary to grant the rights and licenses in the Contract and for the lawful use and transmission of Customer Data and the operation of the Yapster Services.
A subscription allows an Authorised User to access the Yapster Services and is procured via an Order Form (above). Each Authorised User must agree to a set of in-app terms and conditions of usage (the "Yapster User Terms") to activate their subscription. Customer is welcome to review and amend the Yapster User Terms upon request. Subscriptions commence when we make them available to Customer and continue for the term specified in the Order Form, as applicable.
Purchasing Decisions
We may share information about our future product plans because we like transparency. Our public statements about those product plans are an expression of intent, but do not rely on them when making a purchase. If Customer decides to buy the Yapster Services, that decision should be based on the functionality or features we have made available today and not on the delivery of any future functionality or features.
Feedback is Welcome
The more suggestions our customers make, the better the Yapster Services become. If Customer sends us any feedback or suggestions regarding the Yapster Services, there is a chance we will use it, so Customer grants us (for itself and all of its Authorised Users and other Customer personnel) an unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable, transferable, royalty-free license to use any such feedback or suggestions for any purpose without any obligation or compensation to Customer, any Authorised User or other Customer personnel. If we choose not to implement the suggestion, please don't take it personally. We appreciate it nonetheless.
Non-Yapster Products
The Yapster Services include a platform that third parties may use to develop applications and software that complement Customer's use of the Yapster Services (each, a "Non-Yapster Product"). These are not our services, so we do not warrant or support Non-Yapster Products, and, ultimately, customer (and not us) will decide whether or not to enable them. Any use of a Non-Yapster Product is solely between customer and the applicable third party provider.
If a Non-Yapster Product is enabled for Customer's team, please be mindful of any Customer Data that will be shared with the third party provider and the purposes for which the provider requires access. We will not be responsible for any use, disclosure, modification or deletion of Customer Data that is transmitted to, or accessed by, a Non-Yapster Product.
Privacy Policy
Please review www.yapster.info/privacy for more information on how we collect and use data relating to the use and performance of our websites and products.
Customer and Authorised Users
Use of the Yapster Services
Customer must comply with the Contract and ensure that its Authorised Users comply with the Contract and the Yapster User Terms. We may review conduct for compliance purposes, but we have no obligation to do so. We aren't responsible for the content of any Customer Data or the way Customer or its Authorised Users choose to use the Yapster Services to store or process any Customer Data. Customer is solely responsible for providing high speed internet service for itself and its Authorised Users to access and use the Yapster Services.
Our Removal Rights
If we believe that there is a violation of the Contract that can simply be remedied by Customer's removal of certain Customer Data or Customer's disabling of a Non-Yapster Product, we will, in most cases, ask Customer to take direct action rather than intervene. However, we may directly step in and take what we determine to be appropriate action, if Customer does not take appropriate action, or if we believe there is a credible risk of harm to us, the Yapster Services, Authorised Users, or any third parties.
Payment Obligations
Payment Terms
For Customers that purchase the Yapster Services, fees are specified in the Order Form(s) — and must be paid in advance. Payment obligations are non-cancelable and, except as expressly stated in the Contract, fees paid are non-refundable, except as expressly stated in the Order Form. If we agree to invoice Customer by email, full payment must be received within thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Fees are stated exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, "Taxes"). Customer will be responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases, except for those taxes based on our net income.
In event of Non-Payment
If any fees owed to us by Customer (excluding amounts disputed reasonably and in good faith) are thirty (30) days or more overdue, we may, without limiting our other rights and remedies, suspend the Yapster Services until those amounts are paid in full, so long as we have given Customer ten (10) or more days' prior notice that its account is overdue. Notwithstanding the second paragraph of the "Providing the Yapster Services" section below, Customer acknowledges and agrees that a suspension will result in a loss of features and functionality and potential loss of access to Customer Data.
Our Responsibilities
Providing the Yapster Services
Customer isn't the only one with responsibilities; we have some, too. We will (a) make the Yapster Services available to Customer and its Authorised Users as described in the Contract; and (b) not use or process Customer Data for any purpose without Customer's prior written instructions; provided, however, that "prior written instructions" will be deemed to include use of the Yapster Services by Authorised Users and any processing related to such use or otherwise necessary for the performance of the Contract.
Be assured that subject to the " Non-Yapster Products" and "Downgrade for Non-Payment" sections, we will not materially decrease the functionality of a Service during a subscription term. For any breach of a warranty in this section, Customer's exclusive remedies are those described in the sections titled "Termination for Cause" and "Effect of Termination".
Keeping the Yapster Services Available
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Yapster Services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, excluding planned downtime. We expect planned downtime to be infrequent but will endeavor to provide Customer with advance notice (e.g., through the Yapster Services), if we think it may exceed fifteen (15) continuous minutes.
Protecting Customer Data
The protection of Customer Data is a top priority for us so we will maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards at a level not materially less protective than as described in our Security Practices policy. Those safeguards will include measures for preventing unauthorised access, use, modification, deletion and disclosure of Customer Data by our personnel. Before sharing Customer Data with any of our third party service providers, we will ensure that the third party maintains, at a minimum, reasonable data practices for maintaining the confidentiality and security of Customer Data and preventing unauthorised access. Customer (not us) bears sole responsibility for adequate security, protection and backup of Customer Data when in Customer's or its representatives' or agents' possession or control or when Customer chooses to use unencrypted gateways (e.g., IRC/XMPP clients) to connect to the Yapster Services. We are not responsible for what Customer's Authorised Users or Non-Yapster Products do with Customer Data. That is Customer's responsibility.
Data protection
We agree that for the purposes of the Data Protection Act 2018, the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 and any other relevant data protection legislation, as the same may be amended, modified, updated or replaced from time to time (together the "Data Protection Legislation"), Customer shall be the data controller and we shall be the data processor in respect of the processing of Personal Data (as defined in the Data Protection Legislation).
We will comply as a processor of the Personal Data with the obligations required to be imposed by Customer as the controller of the Personal Data under Paragraph 3 of Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulations 2016/679 ("the GDPR"). In this regard:
1) the following processing may be performed by us in relation to this agreement:
subject-matter of processing: providing the Yapster Services in accordance with this agreement.
Purpose of the processing: Provision of the Yapster services as initiated by the Customer.
duration of processing: the term of this agreement.
type of personal data: Name, Email Address, Mobile Phone Number, Job Role, Location and any other information the data subject may elect to upload from time to time. Log data, usage and interaction data, message content including pictures, videos and other file types.
categories of data subjects: may include Customer's employees, suppliers, end users and customers about whom data is provided to Yapster via the Yapster service by (or at the direction of) Customer.
2) we shall:
a. process the personal data only on documented instructions from Customer which includes the processing of the personal data as necessary to deliver the Yapster Services, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organisation, unless required to do so by Union or Member State law to which the processor is subject; in such a case, we shall inform Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest;
b. ensure that persons authorised to process the personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality;
c. ensure there are appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of Personal Data and against accidental loss, destruction of, or damage to, Personal Data (those measures may include, where appropriate, pseudonymising and encrypting Personal Data, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of systems and services, ensuring Personal Data can be restored in a timely manner after an incident, and regularly assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organisational measures);
d. Customer consents to Yapster engaging third party sub-processors to process Customer Content for Permitted Purposes provided that:
Yapster maintains an up-to-date list of its sub-processors at https://www.yapster.info/legal/sub-processors/, which shall contain a mechanism to subscribe to notifications of new sub-processors. Customer shall subscribe, and if Customer subscribes, Yapster shall provide details of any change in sub-processors as soon as reasonably practicable but not less than ten (10) days prior to any such change;
Yapster imposes data protection terms on any sub-processor it appoints that require it to protect the Customer Content to the standard required by Applicable Data Protection Law; and
Yapster remains liable for any breach of this Addendum that is caused by an act, error or omission of its subprocessor.
Customer may object to Yapster's appointment or replacement of a sub-processor prior to its appointment or replacement, provided such objection is in writing and based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. In such event, the parties shall discuss commercial reasonably alternative solutions in good faith. If the parties cannot reach resolution, Yapster will either not appoint or replace the sub-processor or, if this is not possible, Customer may suspend or terminate the Agreement (without prejudice to any fees incurred by Customer prior to suspension or termination)
e. taking into account the nature of the processing, assist Customer by appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of Customer's obligation to respond to requests for exercising the data subject's rights laid down in Chapter III of the GDPR;
f. assist Customer, at Customer's cost, in responding to any request from a Data Subject and in ensuring compliance with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation with respect to security, breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities or regulators
g. notify Customer without undue delay on becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach;
h. at the choice of Customer, delete or return all the personal data to Customer after the end of the provision of services relating to processing, and delete existing copies unless Union or Member State law requires storage of the personal data; and
i. make available to Customer all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations laid down in this provision and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by Customer or another auditor mandated by Customer; provided that we shall immediately inform Customer if, in our opinion, an instruction infringes the GDPR or other Union or Member State data protection provisions.
The Yapster Extended Family
We may leverage our employees, those of our corporate affiliates and third party contractors (the "Yapster Extended Family") in exercising our rights and performing our obligations under the Contract. We will be responsible for the Yapster Extended Family's compliance with our obligations under the Contract.
Ownership and Proprietary Rights
What's Yours is Yours...
As between us on the one hand, and Customer and any Authorised Users on the other, Customer will own all Customer Data. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Contract, Customer (for itself and all of its Authorised Users) grants us and the Yapster Extended Family a worldwide, non-exclusive, limited term license to access, use, process, copy, distribute, perform, export and display Customer Data, and any Non-Yapster Products created by or for Customer, only as reasonably necessary (a) to provide, maintain and improve the Yapster Services; (b) to prevent or address service, security, support or technical issues; (c) as required by law; and (d) as expressly permitted in writing by Customer. Customer represents and warrants that it has secured all rights in and to Customer Data from its Authorised Users as may be necessary to grant this license.
And What's Ours is Ours
We own and will continue to own the Yapster Services, including all related intellectual property rights. We may make software components available, via app stores or other channels, as part of the Yapster Services. We grant to Customer a non-sublicensable, non-transferable, non-exclusive, limited license for Customer and its Authorised Users to use the object code version of these components, but solely as necessary to use the Yapster Services and in accordance with the Contract and the Yapster User Terms. All of our rights not expressly granted by this license are hereby retained.
Term and Termination
Contract Term
The Contract remains effective until all subscriptions ordered under the Contract have expired or been terminated or the Contract itself terminates. Termination of the Contract will terminate all subscriptions and all Order Forms.
Unless an Order Form says something different, (a) all subscriptions automatically renew for additional periods equal to the preceding term and (b) the per-unit pricing during any automatic renewal term will remain the same as it was during the immediately prior term. Unless an Order Form says something different, either party can give the other notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of a subscription term to stop the subscriptions from automatically renewing.
Termination for Cause
We or Customer may terminate the Contract on notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches the Contract and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after the non-breaching party provides notice of the breach. Customer is responsible for its Authorised Users, including for any breaches of this Contract caused by its Authorised Users. We may terminate the Contract immediately on notice to Customer if we reasonably believe that the Yapster Services are being used by Customer or its Authorised Users in violation of applicable law.
Effect of Termination
Upon any termination for cause by Customer, we will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all subscriptions after the effective date of termination. Upon any termination for cause by us, Customer will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the term of those subscriptions after the effective date of termination. In no event will any termination relieve Customer of the obligation to pay any fees payable to us for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
Data Portability and Deletion
We are custodians of Customer Data. During the term of a team's subscriptions, Customer will be permitted to export or share certain Customer Data from the Yapster Services; provided, however, that because we have different products with varying features and Customer has different retention options, Customer acknowledges and agrees that the ability to export or share Customer Data may be limited or unavailable depending on the type of Yapster Services plan in effect and the data retention, sharing or invite settings enabled. Following termination or expiration of a team's subscriptions, we will have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer Data and may thereafter, unless legally prohibited, delete all Customer Data in our systems or otherwise in our possession or under our control.
Representations; Disclaimer of Warranties
Customer represents and warrants that it has validly entered into the Contract and has the legal power to do so. Customer further represents and warrants that it is responsible for the conduct of its Authorised Users and their compliance with the terms of this Contract and the Yapster User Terms. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, THE SERVICES AND ALL RELATED COMPONENTS AND INFORMATION ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.
Limitation of Liability
Customer is responsible for all login credentials, including usernames and passwords, for administrator accounts as well the accounts of your Authorised Users. We will not be responsible for any damages, losses or liability to Customer, Authorised Users, or anyone else, if such information is not kept confidential by Customer or its Authorised Users, or if such information is correctly provided by an unauthorised third party logging into and accessing the Yapster Services.
The limitations under this "Limitation of Liability" section apply with respect to all legal theories, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, and to the extent permitted by law. The provisions of this "Limitation of Liability" section allocate the risks under this Contract between the parties, and the parties have relied on these limitations in determining whether to enter into this Contract and the pricing for the Yapster Services.
Confidential Information
Each party ("Disclosing Party") may disclose "Confidential Information" to the other party ("Receiving Party") in connection with the Contract, which is anything that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure including all Order Forms, as well as non-public business, product, technology and marketing information. Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Data. If something is labeled "Confidential," that's a clear indicator to the Receiving Party that the material is confidential. Notwithstanding the above, Confidential Information does not include information that (a) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (c) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.
Protection and Use of Confidential Information
The Receiving Party will (a) take at least reasonable measures to prevent the unauthorised disclosure or use of Confidential Information, and limit access to those employees, affiliates and contractors who need to know such information in connection with the Contract ; and (b) not use or disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Contract. Nothing above will prevent either party from sharing Confidential Information with financial and legal advisors; provided, however, that the advisors are bound to confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those in the Contract.
Compelled Access or Disclosure
The Receiving Party may access or disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is required by law; provided, however, that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled access or disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the access or disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to access or disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing access to such Confidential Information as well as the reasonable cost for any support provided in connection with the Disclosing Party seeking a protective order or confidential treatment for the Confidential Information to be produced.
The sections titled "Feedback is Welcome," "Non-Yapster Products," "Our Removal Rights," "Payment Terms," "The Yapster Extended Family," "What's Yours is Yours …," "And What's Ours is Ours," "Effect of Termination," "Data Portability and Deletion," "Representations; Disclaimer of Warranties," "Limitation of Liability," "Confidentiality" and "Survival," as well as all of the provisions under the general heading "General Provisions," will survive any termination or expiration of the Contract.
General Provisions
Customer grants us the right to use Customer's company name and logo as a reference for marketing or promotional purposes on our website and in other public or private communications with our existing or potential customers, subject to Customer's standard trademark usage guidelines as provided to us from time-to-time. We don't want to list customers who don't want to be listed, so Customer may send us an email to firstname.lastname@example.com stating that it does not wish to be used as a reference.
Force Majeure
Neither us nor Customer will be liable by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations on account of events beyond the reasonable control of a party, which may include denial-of-service attacks, a failure by a third party hosting provider or utility provider, strikes, shortages, riots, fires, acts of God, war, terrorism, and governmental action.
Relationship of the Parties; No Third Party Beneficiaries
The parties are independent contractors. The Contract does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between the parties. There are no third party beneficiaries to the Contract.
Email and Yapster Messages
Except as otherwise set forth herein, all notices under the Contract will be by email, although we may instead choose to provide notice to Customer through the Yapster Services (e.g., a Yapsterbot notification). Notices to Yapster will be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com, except for legal notices, such as notices of termination or an indemnifiable claim, which must be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. Notices will be deemed to have been duly given (a) the day after it is sent, in the case of notices through email; and (b) the same day, in the case of notices through the Yapster Services.
No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under the Contract will constitute a waiver of that right. No waiver under the Contract will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorised representative of the party being deemed to have granted the waiver.
The Contract will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. If any provision of the Contract is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of the Contract will remain in effect.
Except with respect to the Yapster Extended Family, neither party may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign the Contract in its entirety (including all Order Forms), without consent of the other party, to a corporate affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganisation, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. Customer will keep its billing and contact information current at all times by notifying Yapster of any changes. Any purported assignment in violation of this section is void. A party's sole remedy for any purported assignment by the other party in breach of this section will be, at the non-assigning party's election, termination of the Contract upon written notice to the assigning party. In the event of such a termination by Customer, we will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all subscriptions after the effective date of termination. Subject to the foregoing, the Contract will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Governing Law
This Agreement shall be subject to the laws of England and Wales and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
Entire Agreement

When Anissa Helou first came across the recipe for this variation on a common Moroccan tagine, or stew, she questioned whether the raw rice in the meatballs would cook fully. It does. Any grains that fall out give the saffron-infused broth a lovely richness. More Amazing Lamb Recipes
How to Make It
In a small bowl, soak the rice in water for 15 minutes. Drain in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
In a food processor, pulse the quartered onion with the cup of cilantro leaves and the mint, cumin, paprika, allspice, cayenne, ras el hanout;and 1 1/2 tablespoons of salt until pureed. Scrape the puree into a large bowl and mix in the ground lamb and rice.
Line a large baking sheet with plastic wrap. Using lightly moistened hands, roll rounded tablespoons of the meat mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and transfer them to the baking sheet.
Pour the 4 1/2 cups of water into a large, deep skillet. Add the sliced onion, butter, parsley, crushed red pepper and saffron to the skillet and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the meatballs; they will not fit in a single layer. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook over moderately low heat until the meatballs are cooked and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Stir gently once or twice halfway through.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meatballs to a large platter. Strain the cooking liquid into a bowl and skim off as much fat as possible. Return the cooking liquid to the skillet and boil over high heat until thickened, about 10 minutes.
Return the meatballs to the sauce and simmer over moderate heat until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped cilantro and the lemon juice, season with salt and serve.
Make Ahead
Ras el hanout, a Moroccan blend of up to 30 spices, including ginger, anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, peppercorns and cloves, is available at Middle Eastern markets.
Serve With
Pita bread.

Lomography Konstruktor: The Camera for the Rookie Street Shooter1 10 Share Tweet
Once the street photographer sets their foot outdoors, it's like being unleashed into the wilderness — the concrete jungle.
According to PetaPixel, the most common problems the typical street photographer faces are these: unfamiliarity with the gear, standing out and attracting unwanted attention, false perception, social anxiety, and guilt. These can be very difficult problems to have and sometimes they're so overwhelming that they hinder the photographer's shooting.''it hinders the photographer to actually shoot.
For beginners, it's an overwhelming experience, and the best way to deal with it is to pick out the best companion:, the Lomography Konstruktor. The Konstruktor is not a typical SLR— it's as small as a compact camera yet handy enough for intuitive, and high-quality street photography. It's a DIY camera that not only teaches the technical build and know-how of using, it also propels the photographer to keep shooting with beginner-friendly functions. The other good news is, switching from bulky and complicated to small and simple can do wonders!.
Attract Less, Shoot More
Rest assured that once the photographer straps on the latest bulky tech from the camera market around his or her neck, more eyes will surely follow the photographer's every move!
Jennifer Berube writes in Sleek Lens that people will most likely to stop with what they're doing once they notice a camera is pointed at them. Hence, they lose the decisive moment. Not to mention, a camera too huge and flashy will attract passersby, giving the photographer looks and expressions that would easily make the shooter uncomfortable.
When finally built, the Konstruktor camera becomes a small, discrete piece of kit, camouflaging itself with the photographer. Spanish advertising photographer and Konstruktor advocate Pasquale Caprile described his own street grind with the camera in an interview that the camera can easily "disappear":
Forgetting the Fear of Bad Output
Even with the best, latest gear, bad pictures can happen, not because they are faulty or bad in quality but because the photographer is not comfortable with his camera. So many buttons, so many options, yet so little time.
Things are more straightforward with the Konstruktor: no battery needed, fixed shutter speed of 1/80 with a focal length of 50mm, plus it has plastic, durable build which makes it easier to sit in the palm of your hand. Being comfortable with your camera is key, and the Konstruktor easily fits the bill.
Social Anxiety and Stress Reliever
What truly keeps the street photographer from shooting more and taking daring risks is the fact that they care about what other people might think... "Would they mind if I put the camera here?", "Will they get angry if I take this photo?", "Am I being too obvious?", "Is it okay to ask him for a portrait?" Let's face it, the voices in your head won't go away by keeping the status quo. The Konstruktor's humble size yet astonishing delivery of results easily relieve the photographer's fears when on-the-go, allowing the shooter to produce more images whilst maintaining the desire to experiment.
In an interview, LomoAmigo CC Wu found the camera more liberating than she expected:
Thanks to the Konstruktor's simple and practical design it allows the photographer to get over these social hurdles. The Konstruktor aids its master to overcome all pervading fears and problems of street photography — the ideal street partner.
Make sure you're equipped for your street stroll with the Lomography Konstruktor, available in the Lomography Online Shop and Gallery Stores.

Muslim students have visited the family members of late Alhaji AdbulGaniy Adetola-Kaseem (SAN) to sympathise with them over the death of the legal icon and human right promoter.
Adetola-Kaseem (SAN), who was the lead counsel on the long-running hijab case in Lagos State, died early Monday morning at AB Specialist Hospital, Surulere after a brief illness.
The students, under the aegis of the Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria, Lagos State Area Unit, earlier joined hundreds of Muslims in the janazah (burial) of the deceased on Monday.
When the students, who were led by Amir (President) of the MSSN in Lagos State, Dr. Saheed Ashafa, visited the family on Wednesday, they eulogised the virtues of the deceased.
They described him as an illustrious and enigmatic personality, adding that his sacrificial life was worthy of emulation.
During the visitation, the first son of late Adetola-Kaseem, Ibrahim, commended the students for their support and loyalty to his father.
He explained that the deceased was always proud to be identified with MSSN when alive, noting that he encouraged all his children to be members.
Speaking on the role of his father played in the hijab case in Lagos State, Ibrahim said, "The fight for hijab should not be perceived from religion perspective, it is a fight for humanity. Baba has always been a lover of MSSN and I can testify to the impact of MSSN in our (Adetola-Kaseem's children) lives. MSSN simply teaches humanity how to be successful on earth and in the hereafter.
"In the last interview that was granted by my father before his death, he made it clear that his defence of the hijab is not religious but a cause for humanity. MSSN in Lagos State has obviously shown that it is not retrogressive and it encourages hard work; that is why you can find a Ph.D holder as its leader."
Speaking earlier, Dr. Ashafa urged members of the Adetola-Kaseem's family to maintain the legacies of the deceased.
He said, "Adetola-Kaseem's life was well spent, it is those of us living that should ensure that our lives are also well spent. I implore members of his family not to do anything that will jeopardise the symbols that he stood for when he was alive.
"With the passing away of this defender of the rule of law and justice, a quintessential personality, brilliant, dogged, indefatigable, and relentless promoter of human rights, who dedicated his adult life to the cause of humanity and oppressed, it is an understatement to say the MSSN and Muslims in general have suffered a back-breaking subtraction that would be difficult to replenish for a very long time.
"Apart from the religious sphere, Nigeria and especially the legal profession have indeed lost an illustrious and enigmatic personality. Quite evident is the fact that in spite of all that he had been able to accomplish in his fulfilled life in the course of his practice as a lawyer and other selfless activities, he remained an epitome of modesty and humility, who never looked down on anybody."

Where the grown ups play
This place was buzzing on a Saturday night. Looks like a great addition to the bar and dining scene in Redfern. Love the name of the cocktail 'The Career Change' with Montenegro, Aperol, Ginger Beer, Lime ($16 on menu, $14 on bill) and had lovely flavours the Mrs was happy with. We'd happily order this one again. I ordered a classic Hanky Panky ($16) off the menu which the bartenders did a good job of. One of my favourites these days when I'm craving something different to my usual Negroni. The Ocean Trout Tartare - nori crisp, wasabi mayo, pickled daikon, white onion, shiso, sesame ($22 on menu, $19 on bill) is gluten free and had plenty of tasty flavours. Be warned there's a decent hit of wasabi too. Service was friendly and professional and good to discover the chef from the Morris in Paddington is working here. I love her style of food. Definitely hope to return when I get a chance to try more of the menu and their cocktails.

Have fun with Greenstone 3.07 and write us if you discover any bugs or have any problems.]]>
We've decided to come out with another intermediate release candidate, because the major change we've made are specific to a Mac binary this time. That means there is still time for Greenstone users to find and report on bugs, and for translators to add further translations and send these back in to us for inclusion in the upcoming official 3.07 release. Therefore, please do try out the current 3.07 rc2 release by heading on over to the Snapshots page, and let us know how the binaries fare, so we can improve them for the official release.]]>
The GS3.07 release candidate 1 (3.07 rc1) was released on 03 Aug 2015 and can be downloaded from the snapshots page. There have been quite a few changes and improvements. These have been documented in the release notes.
The 3.07 rc1 binaries available are for Windows, Linux (32 and 64 bit) and Mac (Snow) Leopard and (Mountain) Lion. The Mountain Lion release can be used with some modification on Mac Maverick and Yosemite machines.
We're still working on the final, official release of 3.07. It will include a Java Runtime Environment with the Mac Lion release so that this can be run on later releases of the Mac OS that do not include Java like Yosemite, without Greenstone Mac users having to download Java. In all we'd like to make the experience for Mac Maverick and Yosemite users much smoother than it's been so far.
In the meantime, we would like to continue to encourage Greenstone users to try out the current 3.07 rc1 release and report back their experiences, in particular any bugs or issues they detected.
We'll keep you posted about the upcoming 3.07 release.]]>
The Greenstone3 project has been merged into the main Greenstone project, and Greenstone3 binaries are now the default downloads. To download Greenstone2 binaries, click "BrowseAll Files" and navigate to the binaries you want.
Note, for now I have left the Greenstone3 project in place, but it will eventually be deleted.]]>
On 6 Nov we released the final binaries of Greenstone 3.06. There are binaries available for the following operating systems:
For those who want to compile 3.06 up from source, there is the 3.06 "source distribution" package.
Those who have installed the binary and who eventually want to recompile can top up their binary installation with the 3.06 "source component".
You can get the binary for your operating system from the Greenstone 3 home page's Download section at
The source component and source distribution zip files are available from the same page as well.
The 3.06 Release Notes are at
These contain instructions on how to install the binaries, or compile with the source distribution or source component for your operating system, as well as information on the basic of use Greenstone and its new features. The release notes may get modified and expanded over time, as questions appear.
For those who want to follow along with the Greenstone 3 tutorials, these are at
Make sure to select the "Greenstone 3″ tab.
An example of the kind of interfaces now possible with Greenstone 3 can be viewed at
If you're wondering about how to port Greenstone 2 collections from Greenstone 3, then have a look at the page
It explains the use of the new Format Conversion Wizard that's now part of Greenstone 3.06's GLI and which automates some of the conversion process, while allowing you to interactively modify its suggested Greenstone 3 format statements. Therefore, copy a Greenstone 2 collection into your Greenstone 3.06 installation's web/sites/localsite/collect/ folder, open it in 3.06 GLI and try out the Format Conversion Wizard.
If you discover bugs or encounter any issues, join the mailing list at greenstone-users @ list.waikato.ac.nz and drop us a message, and we'll try to get it fixed.]]>
There's not much more to report about my week as it has mostly involved testing and bug fixing, which is not particularly interesting to write about.]]>
While I am working on this feature Anu will be taking over testing for the release.]]>
There is not a lot to report other than that. Testing seems to be going well and assuming we don't find any major bugs then keep an eye out for a release candidate in the near future.]]>

About the project
About the project
About the project
From October to March, the town of Rjukan lies in the shadow of the surrounding mountains, which include the towering peak of Gaustatoppen. In 1903, a bookkeeper named Oscar Kittelsen suggested using a mirror to reflect sunlight into the town. Sam Eyde, the founder of Norsk Hydro, the principal employer in Rjukan, attempted to turn Kittelsen's dream into reality. In the end, however, Eyde found it easier to build a cable car to transport his workers up into the sunlight than to bring sunlight down to the town.
When in 2005 – after two years of preliminary research and planning – the artist Martin Andersen revived the idea of installing a sun mirror, many of Rjukan's inhabitants were sceptical. Undeterred, Andersen, together with project manager Øystein Haugan and a group of local enthusiasts, worked for years to raise funds for the project. Finally in October 2013, exactly 110 years after Kittelsen first suggested the idea, Solspeilet (The Sun Mirror) was unveiled. Several thousand people, including over 100 journalists from all over the world, attended the opening ceremony, gathering in the market place to bask in the reflected sunbeams.
Solspeilet (The Sun Mirror) consists of three computer-controlled mirrors that track the sun's trajectory across the sky. The sunbeams reflected down to the market square lose only a a few procent of their intensity, giving the town over 500 hours additional hours of sunlight each year. As a result, Rjukan's market square has become a pleasant place to spend time during what used to be the long, dark days of winter.

America has a large pool of young tennis players who have certain capabilities to do what the current faces of American tennis have failed to do.

2017 ATP Year-End Awards
While each season has its own set of hallmark moments that are etched into tennis history, 2017 presented a unique set of circumstances atop the ATP Circuit. The two most accomplished players of 2016, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, failed to continue their run of dominance. Their absence from Grand Slam finals paved the way for the other two members of the Big Four, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, to re-kindle their rivalry and further their greatness during the latter stages of their career.Read More

Why should the fall of 2017 following a Rafael Nadal U.S. Open victory be any different than the fall of 2013?Read More

The Year of the Little Guy
He's not a freak athlete, he doesn't have a monster serve, and he doesn't have the scintillating groundstrokes of Murray and Djokovic.

Green Life- Chelsea Clinton Will She Host A Green Wedding?
I hope Chelsea will host a green wedding and here are some ideas for anyone looking to host a green weeding. It is summer and love is the air so why not host a wedding with environmental twist.
Green Wedding Ideas
There so many ways for a wedding to be green and these simple steps can save you money in the end.
Wedding Invitations
When deciding on wedding cards consider a local printer or one that uses recycled paper and soy ink. You can also go further and do your invitations online with help from a designer. Since most people use email so, it will be easier to send electronic invitations but if you decide on "save the date", cards consider using sustainable ink and paper products.
Taking this step to ensure your wedding has low impact on the planet is very important for a greener future for all so save some trees and the planet will thank you.
Wedding Dinner Party/Rehearsal
If you are going to use a catering company, inquire about local in season menu options also have them use re-usable dishes, cutlery and linens that do not create unnecessary waste and save the environment.
For drinks, having beer on tap will be easier to handle and does not require countless bottles and cans. In addition, serve vegetarian since red meat is environmentally costly unless you are going to handle everything locally.
Wedding Outside
Consider having your wedding out doors especially with the beautiful spring, summer or fall weather. Therefore, take advantage of Mother Nature and this will save you money and you will use less electricity. If you have as small group of people then consider having it unplugged without microphones or audio equipment. Simple weddings are normally more intimate and cost less.
Look for wedding essentials from members of your family, friends or the community who had weddings in the past and ask them to lend you their items for the special day. Borrow linen, jewelry, décor or you can also use recycled diamonds-it is green and socially conscious and adds a vintage touch to your wedding. The bride maids and men should get clothing they can wear again to another occasion. Starting from décor to apparel, re-using as many materials as possible is an easy step to a greener wedding.
A wedding is more than just a part; it is a show of dedication and love so why not extend this good gesture to mother earth? So take small steps to make your wedding a low-impact on the environment and such sustainable decisions will provide a greener future.

You can study a Chemistry research programme at MSc level and/or continue to PhD level.
Chemistry in Aberdeen has been recognised as a subject in its own right since 1793, one of the oldest Chemistry Departments in the UK.
Most postgraduate degrees are by research, but include compulsory PG lecture courses, seminar programmes and research group meetings which involve students in Departmental life. In addition to the research postgraduate degrees, the department offers two MSc taught programmes in Environmental Analytical Chemistry and Oil and Gas Chemistry.
The research school attracts research students and research visitors from all over the world. There are existing links with European Universities which are expanding through the Framework 7 EU funding initiatives. In addition, we currently have many industrially funded PhD students in all areas of our research.
The Graduate School offers an induction programme and skills training opportunities for all research students to support their studies and to help with career planning.
MSc by Research
Students undertake a research project under the guidance of an academic supervisor and, unlike a postgraduate taught degree by coursework and dissertation, there are no formal lectures or seminars and work is not formally examined until after the final thesis is submitted. The thesis is required to display evidence of originality or present a satisfactory, orderly and critical exposition of existing knowledge within the field concerned.
A PhD is a Doctorate of Philosophy, a prestigious qualification that demonstrates talent, academic excellence and a thirst for knowledge. It usually culminates in a thesis based on research carried out over the course of 3-4 years. The research must "make a distinct contribution to knowledge and afford evidence of originality as shown by the exercise of independent critical powers". There are no formal lectures or seminars but your work will be periodically qualitatively monitored by the Graduate School.

These two themes are not exclusive; staff work in both themes, and both are supported by activities in Computational Chemistry.
An important additional feature of Chemistry research here is the involvement with other disciplines within the University of Aberdeen and with other Departments around the world.
This Multidisciplinary means that staff in Chemistry collaborate with colleagues in, for example, Engineering, Biological Sciences, Plant and Soil Science, and Medical Sciences within the University. Collaborations out-with Aberdeen include with our partner institutions in Scotland within the ScotChem alliance, and with many of the top ranked English Chemistry Departments.
We have international research links with many European countries, some sponsored by EU Framework grants, and Universities in the USA and Asia.
Underpinning this research is a unique collection of facilities and expertise.
The Trace Element Speciation Laboratory (TESLA) contains a unique collection of instruments for the analysis and speciation of elements involved in environmental and biological processes.
The Biodiscovery Centre is equipped with state of the art NMR (600MHz) and high resolution mass spectrometric facilities for analysis of natural products.
Research in Biomaterials draws heavily upon Raman microprobe, solid state NMR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermal analysis and X-ray powder and single crystal diffraction facilities. These facilities are also crucial to the success of expanding research programmes in catalysis and energy-related materials.
Major industrial sponsorship is funding research in drug discovery, catalysis, biomaterials, construction materials, and environmental analysis related to the oil and gas industry.
Our research programme is supported by postdoctoral research fellows and postgraduate research students from more than 15 different countries.
