1 | example_12674 | Helping Hands For A Church - tribunedigital-mcall
August 06, 1992|by THOM KUPPER, The Morning Call
It's an unusual man who can get excited about a doorknob.
Unusual, but very important, at least to the people who planned a renovation of Bethlehem's Central Moravian Church several years ago.
What they needed was someone to replicate the 190-year-old brass door pulls at the side entrances to the church. One of the door pulls was missing, and they wanted to sell copies of the distinctive door pulls as a fund-raiser.
As a guide, they had someone's years-old failed attempt at molding a new pull. It was supposed to look like a hand sticking out of the church door and grasping a bar, the same as the original. But the detail of the new one just wasn't as good, and whoever made it had apparently abandoned the project in despair.
The mold went home with Barry Pell, a member of the church who lent his expertise as an architect to the renovation. Pell showed the mold to T. Grant Burke, a silversmith whose shop was in the same building as Pell's apartment.
"Barry brought me this mold," Burke remembers, "and said it didn't work, and I said I could see why."
Did Burke know of anyone who could do better? Of course he did. "This is my meat," he said recently. "This is the stuff I love to do."
They quickly agreed that Burke should refurbish the door pulls on the church and replace the one that was missing. When the work for the church was done, Burke kept making door pulls. The church has sold more than 125 of them at $100 each, reimbursing the silversmith for materials only. Proceeds go to the church's historical renovation fund.
He turns them out from a second-floor Main Street workshop as orders come in. The plan is to keep making them until the end of this year to take advantage of their marketability as Christmas presents.
After Pell came to him, Burke's first step was to study the door pulls on the church. Several of them had been significantly altered over the years, and he had to take them apart to try to guess their original form.
As for the old mold Pell brought him, Burke said its problem was that whoever made it had tried to do the pull in one piece. "It can't be done that way," he said.
Instead, the pulls should be made in three pieces, the way the originals were done in the early 19th century. The cuff, hand and bar are each a separate piece of brass, which allows Burke to use a smaller mold and enhances his precision.
Once he had figured out how to replicate the door pulls, Burke used a torch to separate the parts of one of the pulls. Then he packed the brass pieces into a metal frame and used a vulcanizing method to make his own mold. With that complete, it takes him about five hours to make each new door pull.
The tough part is that the molds were much larger than what Burke generally works with -- a peculiarity that Burke said would cause most silversmiths to shirk the assignment, but that he considered a challenge.
It took him six or seven tries to get his molds right. If they're done wrong, the metal will "migrate" inside the mold and "you might have a thumb coming out the side of it," Burke said.
When the last pull is done, the molds and a list of people who bought door pulls will be kept in the church's archives.
The significance of the door pulls is that they represent the importance of music in the Moravian church. Burke said the bar depicts a scroll of music held in the hand. As he got involved in the project, Burke also decided to join the church and remains a member.
He's sold the pulls to people all over the United States. Notes of thanks from satisfied customers hang on his walls.
"It's not just something that was done for the local people," Burke said. "These things are distributed all through eastern Europe."
Several of the pulls were taken to eastern Europe when a choir affiliated with the church toured there last year.
Robert Pharo, former president of the Moravian Church choir, said the choir had given them to their hosts in the former Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Germany. They left one pull in Herrnhut, Germany, an early center of the Moravian church.
Back in Bethlehem, Burke said he wasn't surprised that the church had overlooked him for several years before asking him to do the work.
His shop, two blocks down from the church, carries only his name on the door to announce its presence, and many people are unaware of his work, he said. "You're never a hero in your hometown."
Anyone interested in buying a door pull should contact the Central Moravian Church, 73 W. Church St., Bethlehem 18018. | http://articles.mcall.com/1992-08-06/news/2873205_1_pulls-mold-new-door | 2018/12/14 12:59:14 | mC4 |

Most clinical research studies pose the risk of physical discomfort, although some participants experience complications that require medical attention. In rare cases, participants have been seriously injured or have died resulting from their ingestion of experimental pharmaceutical preparations. The specific risks associated with a research protocol are described in detail in the informed consent document. Also, a member of the medical research team must explain the major risks of participating in a pharmacy study. Beyond major requirements within the pharmacy department, you may consider Jacksonville State University genetics course as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.
Assisted Reproductive Technologies, such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF), often involve the use of hormones to stimulate a woman's ovaries to produce multiple egg-bearing follicles. The eggs are removed from the ripened follicles and transferred to a special media, where sperm are introduced. If fertilization occurs and viable embryos are produced, a limited number are transferred directly into the uterus. Pre-implantation genetic screening is used in conjunction with embryo biopsy to scan for disorders such as hemophilia and cystic fibrosis. Going on to nursing study via Alamance CC surgical assistant program, for example, can help you find a rewarding position in the medical services field.
Technical programs are a low-cost alternative to attending a regular four-year university, and you can earn good money as a highly-skilled, technical specialist.

Then there's Howard CC AP Calculus bc credit, with enrolled students from around the world.
Most colleges accept either the SAT or ACT, and have formulas for converting raw test scores. SAT test questions can be trickier and harder to understand, while ACT questions are longer on average, and take more time. Other college admissions information sources, like Hennepin Technical College online associates degrees, promote the use of standardized tests in admissions decisions because there are substantial differences in course requirements, high school GPA, and grade curve difficulty among US schools. You can also explore Southern Maine Community College credit classes, in order to further target your academic interests.
The overall time that students spend in college is getting longer, with undergraduate study increasingly leading onwards to graduate school. High school grades are the most important factor in gaining admission to the college of your choice, along with letters of recommendation. According to data on Jamestown Community College admissions email pages, an ideal academic record consists of a high GPA in courses of progressive difficulty. About half of colleges use placement tests and a waiting list, and many community colleges have agreements with bachelor programs at four-year universities. You may compare Smith College course registration with other schools that you're considering.
Academic and athletic scholarships are highly competitive, and are usually awarded either by the admissions office directly, or through individual departmental awards. Student loans typically have variable interest rates while federal student loan programs have fixed rates for the duration of the loan. Financial aid may be administered via Norco College need based aid or through academic departments. Alternatively, student credit cards may seem like a good short-term solution, but the interest rates are high, and credit cards often carry an annual fee. Peterson's Scholarship Search Award Database is drawn from Peterson's college guidebooks. While local churches may not have the funding to provide IT scholarships, their headquarters may have scholarship funds available.

Ariana Grande is due to perform at the annual LGBT event in August (Dave Hogan for One Love Manchester)
Ariana Grande has responded to the backlash over her headlining Manchester Pride, saying: "I'm not claiming to be the hero of the community."
The US singer is due to perform at the annual LGBT event in August, two years after a suicide bomber killed 22 people at her concert in the city.
Grande has now waded in on Twitter, explaining why the show is so important to her.
"The LGBTQ community has been so special to me and supportive throughout my entire career," said the star.
"And also I wanna visit a city that means so much to me," she added.
"LGBTQ representation is incredibly important, and I'm always proud to share the stage with artists LGBTQ artists!
"I have nothing to do with ticket pricing – Manchester pride sets those rates, and they're mostly out of my control," she explained.
After her headlining slot was announced she tweeted that she was "thrilled" to be performing at the event. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/lifestyle/music-lifestyle/1688002/ariana-grande-responds-to-backlash-over-her-manchester-pride-slot/ | 2020/08/07 10:01:16 | mC4 |

Okay, enough of that scary stuff, let’s stick with using the very friendly GitHub Desktop GUI and the website. GitHub Desktop is basically an application which can be downloaded from here and allows the user to interact and use the GitHub features without having to go onto your web browser every single time. After all of them have installed the application, they should see a screen that looks similar to this – except that for new users, ‘Your Repositories’ should start off empty.
Okay, let’s say Esther (Manager) has created an initial script on her own computer for the age curve in R called ‘model.r’, which uses Simple Linear Regression to model the relationship between policyholders’ age and the average claims incurred. The contents of model.r looks something like this:
Nothing fancy, all the script does is to read the dataset in, instantiate a simple linear regression model and print the calculated coefficients.
Esther now wants both Jimmy and Michelle to work on improving it and can do that by uploading the current script into the remote repository created so all three of them have access to it. Remember, she created a remote repository before on the GitHub website, but will need a file in her local machine which she can use to sync the documents (The local repository). Think of it as dropping some files into a local DropBox or GoogleDrive folder to sync them into your online storage. Esther can do this by simply clicking on the ‘Clone a Repository from the Internet’ button, which would bring up the screen below.
Here, she should be able to see the newly created remote repository. Now she has to decide on a local path to store this ‘syncing’ folder and hit clone. | https://ikbengered.nl/isabel-may/ | 2021-02-27T16:18:09Z | OSCAR-2109 |

hello all. So I've been tracking my O with Wondfo ovulation test. I just thought I'd share my way of keep track of it. I use to just throw them away but found that by doing this I can see how the line darkens each day. This as you can see the first pic is my month of November and I O'd the 23rd am and it got darker when I took a test that night. Then the 24th am I was still ovulating, and by the 25th the line was lightening. Just thought I'd share!

Around 40% of the world population has an internet connection today. In 1995, it was less than 1%. The number of internet users has increased tenfold from 1999 to 2013. The first billion was reached in 2005. The second billion in 2010. The third billion in 2014.
Digital media is so pervasive that consumers have access to information any time and any place they want it. Digital media is an ever-growing source of entertainment, news, shopping and social interaction, and consumers are now exposed not just to what your company says about your brand, but what the media, friends, relatives, peers, etc., are saying as well.
Recent study says that 89 percent of consumers turn to search engines to find information on products, services or businesses prior to making purchases.The study points to dependence on search for shopping research as a “key insight into the influence the internet wields in consumers’ lives,” demonstrating the need for strong digital marketing strategies from brands.

Teachers in Thailand, and the rest of the world, are often motivated by the desire to make a positive change for children. There are so many ways to enrich the lives of students, but obviously the main objective is to advance their education.
Most Thai public schools have mandatory English classes, even if the school doesn’t have foreign (native-speaking or fluent) English teachers. These courses are taught by Thai teachers who typically can’t speak English conversationally. Because they aren’t entirely familiar with the language, their lessons focus on vocabulary and grammar directly from the book. Continue reading →

Nearly 10,000 days. That’s the duration of time between when I first saw the band Survivor perform at Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, PA and the day I took my daughter Jillian to see them for the very first time this past Sunday at Penns Peak.
Oh sure, we went to Hershey Park a few summers ago when the band was there but let’s be honest: when you put an 8-year-old girl in an amusement park surrounded by chocolate it’s damn near impossible to get her to sit still for an audio assault of classic rock.
So, while Mom and child made their way around the park Dad took one for the team. I know, it’s a tough job.
But Sunday night was the ideal night. It had been almost seven years since Jimi Jamison fronted the band and it would be Jillian’s first time to see and hear the band her Dad’s been clamoring about since she first wondered what that “Vital Signs” album was doing hanging on the wall in his office.
If you are a classic rock, hair-metal or country music lover Penns Peak is the absolute best place to see a show. It reminds me so much of the intimacy that Stabler Arena had. A venue that when you first walk in you can literally read the band’s name on the drum header without the need of binoculars. As far as I’m concerned a concert isn’t just a band playing for you. You need to be part of the experience. A concert is when the band is playing WITH you.
As Jillian and I stood in the second row the band ran through a gambit of hits and even a few surprises as well. Truth be told, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard them sound this good. And this was only their fourth show together with this new line-up. A sign of good things to come!
We were extremely fortunate to get back stage passes for a quick meet and greet with the band after the show.
Jillian, an aspiring singer herself, asked Jimi (one of the greatest male rock vocalists of all time) if he had any advice for her. This is what he said:
Persistence. Just keep singing. The more you do it, the better you get. That’s the best advice I can give you!
My mind is a bit faded since that Survivor concert two dozen years ago and for the longest time it was hard for me to try to put into words how I felt the night I saw them for the very first time.
That was until a friend showed me a picture she had taken of Jillian and me after the show was over. Then I figured it out.
After the band said goodbye and got into the van to take them back to the hotel Jillian and i stood there for a minute basking in the glow. It was at this point that a simple song lyric came to mind:
We will remember this first night together. After all the songs fade away and the stage fades to gray.
As we were making our way out a stage hand from the band came over and asked Jillian if she had gotten an “official” Survivor Frankie Sullivan guitar pick.
After she told him that she didn’t he took one that he had gotten from the stage and handed it to her as if it might mean something.
as i read this, the smile never left my face. not only because i was standing next to you during the show and feeling all those same emotions, but because of the joy i find in the fact that you can share this whole experience with jilian.
the last time i saw the band with jimi as lead was ’87. and though i’ve seen jimi a few times on his own, there is definitely a different vibe when jimi & frankie are on stage together.
thanks for the nod, my friend…it was a great night.hope to do it again soon. Can anybody say “road trip”?
I found myself thinking back to that “First Night” I saw them with REO. Still ranks as my best concert experience ever. Perhaps so because as a teen I connected with Vital Signs so well (and REO’s Wheel’s Are Turnin’ too). Both of those records came out at the perfect time for me.
Prior to last night (and Danville) the last time I saw them with Jimi was at that show in 1985 so it was surreal for me.
For a Survivor freak who has never had the opportunity to see them in real life, you guys make it real for me. MTC
It was some night that’s for sure! So moving to hear you describe seeing the show with Jillian. A father/daughter experience to be treasured forever! Great to see ya again, Jim.
Honestly, the look she has on her face after the show was the same that was on me when I walked out of Stabler arena all those years ago.
Just a big huge sigh of “that’s what being a great parent is all about” – I am just picturing your night out & her meeting Jimi – and the big warm fuzzy feeling you had inside Jim!
I saw them in ’85 with REO and had a blast. Even got a wave from JJ before the show. He was wearing the same jacket he has on in the Burning Heart video. They were fantastic! I saw JJ a few times and Survivor this past August. Lots of fun to see them again. JJ is my favorite and hope to see him many more times. Have some photos on Twitter but much more on Facebook, if you’re interested in seeing them.
That is awesome about the guitar pick. What a nice closure to a wonderful day. I don’t suppose you remember where you got Jillian her shirt, do you? It would make an awesome gift to a family member of mine. =)
We actually got the shirt at the show. They were selling them there. I remember they also used to have a “store” on their website where you could buy them, but I don’t see it there anymore. Good luck in your search.
Michael Sweet’s new solo album, One Sided War, is packed with hook-laden songs that transcend the tasty fretwork and soaring vocals we’ve come to expect from the Stryper frontman.
On the new disc, Sweet is joined by a plethora of seasoned musicians, including guitarists Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake) and Ethan Brosh, bassist John O’Boyle and drummer Will Hunt (Evanescence). Newcomer guitarist/vocalist Moriah Formica accompanies Sweet on a tasty duet, “Can’t Take This Life.”
In addition to the new solo album, Sweet—along with the rest of Stryper—is gearing up for a tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of that band’s monster album, To Hell with the Devil.
I recently spoke with Sweet about One Sided War, Stryper’s upcoming tour, gear and more. You can check out our chat below.
It’s everything to me. Many artists seem to lose their drive and passion for doing it as they get older. They’ll say things like it’s not really worth it to make new albums. But the thing about me is that it feels as though I’ve gained more drive and more passion. I just love what I do.
It’s obviously got some similarities to the sound of some of the other things I’ve done in the past because I can’t escape the sound of my voice or the style of my guitar playing. But I always try to bring in new ingredients and substance to give it a different flair. I always say it’s the best thing I’ve ever done, and I mean it. But that’s not meant to be a slam on the other projects. I just go into each project trying new things—using new equipment and trying different mic and amp techniques to improve upon the last project. I never sit down and think about what I want to sing or play. I just do what comes from the heart. | OSCAR-2019 |

How do you encourage an INTP?
Are INTPs aggressive?
Can INTP be emotional?
INTPs also might want to avoid conflict, and dislike the idea of getting into a serious argument with someone when they do feel emotionally invested in them.
If a person refuses to let go and will only make the situation worse, the INTP might take to ghosting them to move on from the relationship..
If an INTP needs encouragement or motivation in a goal, it's important to not inundate them with a lot of advice or input. This can make them lose their focus. Simply show enthusiasm for their idea and actively listen as they talk about it. Ask questions.
While INTPs aren't entirely in touch with their own emotions, they definitely dislike passive aggressive behavior in others. They can become frustrated when people try to be subtle but their behavior completely gives them away.
The INTP wants the world to make sense, so they may have a hard time admitting they feel emotions like disappointment, anger, or embarrassment.
Most of the time the INTPs anger comes from a problem or feeling which they have avoided or neglected for a long time. They attempt to push those feelings aside in hopes of not being seen as emotional, instead they want to be as logical as possible.
INTPs aren't often ones to fit in easily, which can certainly make them seem weird to others. They have a rather unique way of seeing the world, as well as how they respond to it. … Being a rare personality type is often a big part of why the INTP can feel weird or even awkward around some people.
They are often attracted to people who are very passionate and this type of excitement for things can be inspiring for the INTP. … It can seem intimidating at first but INTPs do find themselves drawn to people who are different than them, and who have a way of being charming and adventurous. | https://aryanhospitalsiwan.com/qa/how-do-you-annoy-an-intp.html | 2021/08/04 21:46:25 | mC4 |

4th Annual CRM Editors' Roundtable: The State of CRM in 2010
I'm Back! Yes it's been a long time, so it has to be called a comeback. But there's time to go into why it's been so long later on. Today it's all about this year's annual roundtable conversation with the CRM editors.
It's hard to believe that this is the year four in having the best and brightest editor types join me to discuss what's going on in customer relationship management. But I'm fortunate to have two of the best editors AND thinkers in the industry share their considerable knowledge and insights on what's going on in the space.
Every time I've done this 1to1 Media's Ginger Conlon has been right there with me. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about the industry, she's one of the nicest people in the industry. The same can be said for Josh Weinberger of CRM magazine, who joins us for the second year in a row.
Ginger and Josh tackle a number of different topics, including trust-ability, where we are with social crm, the impact of the economy on CRM, and some predictions about what the year ahead will throw at us - like why Josh feels you shouldn't put too much emphasis on Facebook.
Both Ginger and Josh have valuable perspectives and opinions, and you can hear them all below on the player, or by clicking here to download the mp3. The conversation is right at 40 minutes.
Thanks again Ginger and Josh. And see you next year!!!

Factory Farm hazardous air pollution – your right to know is threatened
Today, MEA joined over seventy environmental and sustainable agriculture organizations in urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency not to exempt livestock operations from the reporting requirements of the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). MEA signed on to a letter to the EPA, written by the environmental law firm Earthjustice, asserting that the proposed exemption is unlawful and would greatly reduce the ability of local and state regulators to monitor releases of toxic ammonia and hydrogen sulfide gasses from factory farms.
Read MEA's Press Release on the proposed exemption.

0 | example_85432 | The Highlanders established a distinctive tactical identity under former head coach Jamie Joseph: they ensured that games were played at pace, backed their defence to withstand a high volume of opposition possessions, and looked to strike quickly with efficient and inventive attacking play. Under Joseph’s former assistant Tony Brown during the 2017 season, the team did not alter this approach – Round 1 against the Chiefs aside. They averaged only 45.7% of the total carries made in their fixtures – 4% lower than any other New Zealand franchise – but generated cleak breaks with the second-highest frequency (11.2%) of all teams in the competition; on the other side of the ball, they allowed opponents to make clean breaks with the third-lowest frequency (7.3%) teams.
After a win over the Blues last weekend, it appears that – despite a third head coach in three seasons – the team’s tactical approach will not be significantly different in 2018. They made 44.9% of the game’s total carries in Aaron Mauger’s first game in charge, and scored points with quick, efficient attacking strikes.
The short kicking game of halfbacks Aaron Smith and Lima Sopoaga has historically been a fundamental feature of the Highlanders’ set-piece attack. The accuracy of the two All Blacks in this area allows the team to manipulate the four defenders whose positioning dictates where the attacking team can find space: the full-back, two wingers and scrum-half.
In the first example below – from Round 2 of 2017 against the Crusaders – Seta Tamanivalu begins flat on the left wing to cover the running threat of Waisake Naholo, and full-back David Havili is in a shallow position directly behind the scrum. Smith’s dart from the base to escape the back row also has the effect of holding Tamanivalu and Havili in the front line, and the scrum-half threads a grubber kick perfectly into the open space beyond the two defenders:
In the second example from this fixture, Sopoaga drops a short chip perfectly into space behind the Crusaders’ midfield, an area which scrum-half Bryn Hall is unable to cover as sweeper:
Crucially, Hall begins the sequence in the 5m channel – with hooker Codie Taylor at the tail of the lineout – and this defensive set-up likely costs the scrum-half the extra few metres necessary to get between the ball and Naholo, who is making an excellent tracking run on the inside from the blindside wing and collects Fekitoa’s offload after he is tackled by the full-back.
The franchise’s historic win over the British & Irish Lions showcased another aspect of their attacking kicking game, with centre Teihorangi Walden’s accurate short grubbers turning the opposition’s aggressive press on a number of occasions. In last Friday’s game, it was outside centre Rob Thompson – effectively the fourth kicking option in a backline featuring Smith, Sopoaga and Walden inside him – whose right foot was used to great effect for the Highlanders’ fifth and final try:
Despite Thompson’s sub-optimal execution – the chip is slightly too long, and allows scrum-half Augustine Pulu the chance to cover – the Highlanders’ attacking alignment and awareness of the Blues’ defensive structure creates a situation where they are able to exploit a somewhat fortuitous bounce of the ball. | http://heatherhopefarm.com/lessons-from-the-farm/we-never-outgrow-our-need-of-mothers/ | 2021-02-27T06:58:38Z | OSCAR-2109 |

i am using XBMC 11.0 Eden (GIT: unknown, compiled mar 24 2012) on different machines, three of them are running on Ubuntu 10.10, the other machines are windows-based.
Since some days the support for the Ubuntu-version stopped, so i am thinking what version of ubuntu to use for best performance and stability on these linux-machines.
Two linux-machines are old PCs that run as XBMC-players connected to TV-screens, they are from 2006 and run on AMD Athlon 3500+ (single core) with 1GB RAM, the other machine is a notebook wkith 4 Gig of ram and a Pentium Dual Core.
I see no problems for the notebook to run a 11.04, but don't know if the older systems will run that without problems.
Any hints what to install that runs good on that machines and don't need much tweaking to run XBMC?

You could always take XBMCbuntu for a spin on them and see how they perform with that. If you wait another week then you can try out the latest Ubuntu (12.04) which is going to be an LTS release - or just go ahead and try the beta out now. I've got the 12.04 beta on a couple of devices and it's been stable enough so far. Should you go for the beta and like it, just remember that when the full release goes live you can update rather than having to do a re-install.

I have installed the 11.04 on different systems and did not like it much, the new graphical interface did not like me ... Have things improved a year later? If everything is better i will try the beta on one machine (perhaps the notebook, i am updating it to 11.04 quite now) and look how it works. | http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=129276&pid=1079868 | 2017/04/25 12:36:34 | mC4 |

BOSTON–Utsav, a South Asian student organization at the Northeastern University in Boston, has won the university's Richard E. Sochacki Organization of the Year Award for Social Justice.
Utsav, the Sanskrit word meaning festival, was started in 1991 by a handful of South Asian students. Now in its 23rd year, Utsav has grown into a large and vibrant community of over 300 students and alumni, according to Utsav's website.
"We strive to provide a sense of belonging and knowledge about South Asian culture and heritage. We represent students from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka," says the website of the organization. "Although we represent these six countries, we would like to stress that ANYONE can become a member of Utsav. You do not have to be of South Asian descent to learn about the culture and traditions of South Asia."
Northeastern presented its annual Student Life Awards on Wednesday, recognizing students and student organizations that have done outstanding work throughout the past year, reported News at Northeastern.
Student organizations are nominated by organization presidents or their members for consideration and chosen by a selection committee from the Office of Student Affairs. The Center for Student Involvement organized the awards ceremony.

1 | example_24264 | “Add to that the cost of running the sites and making resources available to monitor activities and clean up the aftermath, a picture emerges of why the designated site allocation is not feasible. Furthermore, the designated sites have done little to deter the illegal discharge of fireworks in residential areas, which is an ongoing problem.”
Smith says the City has not banned fireworks, as only the government has the authority to do so. Permits for firework displays can still be applied for, in terms of the relevant legislation.
IOL reported that according to City Safety and Security executive director Richard Bosman, the events department had not received any applications related to fireworks displays.
Anyone found illegally discharging fireworks will face a fine. In terms of Section 30 of the Explosives Act of 1956, the use or detonation of any fireworks in any building and public thoroughfare is liable for a R200 fine. Selling fireworks to a child or anyone under the age of 16 is a R300 fine. Allowing a child or person under the age of 16 to handle fireworks without adult supervision is a R300 fine.
The public is reminded that the import and sale of fireworks without the necessary permissions outlined in the Explosives act is illegal, as is the discharge of fireworks in an area not specifically designated for it.
Members of the public with information relating to the illegal sale or use of fireworks should report this to the City’s Public Emergency Communication Centre on 107 from a landline or 021 480 7700 from a cellphone or to the South African Police Service on 10111.

Make Rubulad's Dream Home Come True by, Rubulad
A few years ago, I was just a naive 18 year old NYU freshman from suburban California...which meant I never left the four block radius of Washington Square Park. That all changed when I decided to make the harrowing journey to the distant land of Brooklyn in search of some party called "Rubulad." As soon as I walked into the huge warehouse someone put a bumblebee hat on my head, and then I looked around — the place was pulsating with music, covered with art, filled with sweaty dancing bodies, had sticky beer floors, and there were people dressed in astronaut costumes. Terrifying. Now Rubulad is moving, and supporting their project will get you a piece of the insanity in the form of rewards like having a ten year old shoot a bow and arrow on stilts at your next party. — Nicole H.
Visions of Mustang: Bringing Sight to the Forbidden Kingdom by, Joey Brunelle
The Forbidden Kingdom of Mustang in Nepal is one of the last refuges of the traditional Tibetan Buddhist way of life. If you want to visit, you'll need to take a bush plane to a remote region of Nepal, then crisscross the Himalayas, at elevations as high as 13,000 feet, for three days, on a horse. As you can imagine, these people have virtually no access to medical care of any sort, yet the UV rays are so extreme at such high altitudes, that cataracts, and blindness, abound. Enter 18 monks, 35 ponies, 400 kilos of medical gear, a handful of rough and tumble doctors, 1650 patients, and one surprise cameo of Bruce Colville's timeless classic, My Teacher is an Alien, and you've got one hell of a documentary. — Meaghan O.

Today's show might seem like a slight deviation from my usual focus on creating a compassionate vegan world however it's an important topic that's close to my heart. Since starting podcast interviews and chatting with so many passionate, strong and successful individuals it's frankly blown my mind how many of these powerful ladies (and Yes, thus far they have all been ladies) have shared they used to struggle with an eating disorder.
My guest today, Melainie Rogers MS, RDN, CDN, CEDRD-S is a recognised expert on eating disorders. As a speaker, educator, and Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian (CEDRD) Melainie is dedicated to supporting others in their quest to achieve long term recovery from eating disorders and enjoy a more harmonious relationship with food and their bodies. She is the Founder and Executive Director of BALANCE eating disorder treatment center™ which offers outpatient programs treating the spectrum of eating disorders and is located in the heart of New York city.
Melainie is also the co-founder and first President of the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals New York Chapter.
My personal interest in this topic is deep. I'm interested to learn about the genetic vulnerability to developing an eating disorder. I'd like to discuss the fine line between being "healthy" and getting "restrictive" and of course I'm keen to touch on the unwarranted bad wrap veganism can get when it's labelled restrictive and even disordered.
To set the stage to this conversation where of course – I'm not the expert – however I do feel very strongly opposed to Veganism being labeled as harmful or unhealthy. Veganism is a belief system based on compassion and causing the least possible harm. It's focused on the animals whereas, when you're caught in the grips of an eating disorder I'd suggest that's entirely self-focused. Ideally as a vegan you can extend your compassion beyond just the animals, to your fellow humans and of course absolutely 100% to yourself too.
Food Is just one component of this lifestyle choice and as ethical vegans no longer see animals a "food" not eating them is not restrictive. Rather it's common that a vegan lifestyle prompts you to try a much more diverse range of foods.
Bringing a whole foods plant based eating strategy to your vegan ethic is my recommendation and I can see that could snowball into something excessive. Not because of the vegan ethic, rather as a spiral that I would suggest would more likely begin with someone obsessing over their health and "clean food." There's a term for this: Orthorexia, which Melainie and I will discuss.
I guess my fear and frustration is that the professionals aligned with animal agriculture – those people incentivised to push animal products – declare veganism to be restrictive and unhealthy without due diligence or due cause and by doing so, maybe scare well intentioned individuals off embracing a healthy vegan lifestyle. Without doubt the whole foods plant based approach I advocate is vastly more abundant, sustainable and enjoyable than the hideous diets I've been distraught to see many clients and gym members inflict upon themselves over the years.
I'm biased, for sure however I also have a solid variety of experience to draw on.
I've done super restrictive meat eating and vegetarian. I've eliminated ALL fat, then counted calories and carbs. Over 25 years ago I personally struggled with an eating disorder and it was without doubt a desperate attempt to exert some control in my life. My focus at that time was less is best. I had no love for my body. We weren't working as a team. It was a constant and never-ending discipline and control fuelled battle.
In that regard it reminds me of the attitudes dieters bring to their body and the food they deprive it of.
The vegan lifestyle allows me to focus on what's best for my body while at the same time embracing what's best for the planet and of course most importantly what's best for the animals that no longer die for my taste and convenience.
As I said, I'm biased. Let's chat to the expert!
How Melainie got into this line of work and also her own journey in recovering from an eating disorder.
Being genetically vulnerable to developing an eating disorder.
The fine line between being "healthy" and getting "restrictive."
What happen on a biochemical level when you restrict food?
Why diets don't work and what to do instead?
Binge eating disorder – what is it and how can we stop it?
I'm back on my own and WOW that time flew by! Secret admission, I felt a little defensiveness when first reading Melainie's one-sheet and noting: Orthorexia / Clean eating / Veganism grouped together.
When you feel defensive for whatever reason – it's actually a pretty clear signal to dig a little deeper. I talk often enough about carnist defensiveness and triggering! It was time to take my own advice, put my ego aside and learn from this expert. I want to know if vegans are more susceptible to developing an eating disorder. I don't want to ignore it. That's not aligned with creating a fit, strong, healthy, happy compassionate vegan world.
I found Melainie to be the perfect compassionate guide to have this discussion with. Though perhaps "to start this discussion with" is more apt as I really think this conversation deserves more time and perhaps a part 2. For now though if you'd like connect with Melainie here are all her contact details and also those amazing free resources.

Czechoslovakians Václau Laurin and Václau Klement were producers and innovators in bicycles and motorbikes before moving into autos after a merger in 1925 with a company run by engineer Emil Skoda. Skoda-branded cars appeared the following year, and the 1938 Popular was one of the company’s innovative small cars of the ’30s before Skoda became state-owned after World War II. The Octavia nameplate debuted in 1959, though was among a series of models to have unpredictable handling. Combined with a reputation for quality issues, Skoda became the butt of jokes during much of the ’70s and ’80s. The 1988 Favorit – styled by Bertone and Skoda’s first front engine, front-wheel-drive car – was one of central Europe’s most popular cars, though, and the brand’s reputation headed quickly north after being acquired by Volkswagen in 1991. Sales headed in a similar direction, particularly in Europe, with Skoda models benefitting from shared platforms and components yet typically priced cheaper than the comparable VW. The Czech Republic brand returned to Australia in 2007. | OSCAR-2019 |

← Fr. Z's Kitchen: Concerning the making of tea, biscuits and Zagnut bars
THEY'RE HERE! Action Item Update – Red Pontifical Vestments Project – PHOTOS →
First, today I saw a piece at Breitbart that Pope Francis popularity has dropped. HERE
That said, I have received links to various articles saying that the Pope has considered establishing a commission to study the issue of the ordination of woman as deaconesses…. (aka deaconettes -it's easier to pronounce).
Studying is one thing and doing is another.
That said, I saw something telling in the Fishwrap account (aka National Schismatic Reporter).
First, I haven't seen news that a commission exists. Maybe I missed something.
Next, this also means that the Pope has not been talking to the people who are in favor of the ordination of women! He hasn't been paying attention to the advocates of deaconettes. Instead, he has been talking to those who find the question obscure and muddy.
Of course that is what this issue is: obscure and muddy. It is not at all likely that greater clarity will be gained from such a commission. Were there more out there to know… in serious, scholarly sources, that is… someone would have written it. Also, those with whom Francis speaks would have been able to point to it. Such a commission won't consider half-baked propaganda, after all.
Meanwhile, the serious scholarship that exists says: they were not ordained in a sacramental sense, as deacons were and are. Also, not every idea that the Church tried was a good one: many were dropped – like deaconettes. Moreover, nothing about this will happen for quite a while, I suspect.
Read Deaconesses: An Historical Study by Aime G Martimort. UK HERE
I might write more on this later, but for now that's enough. Right now this is much ado about nothing.

Maybe, like with wymyn prysts, the Pope at the end of this, will definitively declare that the church has no authority to ordain women to the deaconate.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that the ancient female-deacon practice was due to the need of aiding women who were being baptized by immersion, nothing in regards to aiding in the liturgy of the Mass. No?
12 May 2016 at 10:42 AM
"In 2002, the International Theological Commission concluded a five-year study of the question of women deacons, initiated at the request of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and reported that the deaconesses of the early Church were not analogous to the ordained deacons of today, either in their role in the Christian community or in how they were commissioned."
http://www.catholicworldreport.com/Blog/4775/report_francis_agrees_to_commission_to_study_women_deacons.aspx
12 May 2016 at 10:48 AM
I didn't realize the deaconess this was obscure or muddy. I'm no scholar, and there might be a detail or nuance I don't understand, but aside from people I've encountered who had an agenda for or against priestesses, every piece of information I've ever encountered on the matter was pretty clear that deaconesses were not sacramentally ordained nor numbered among the clergy.
12 May 2016 at 10:52 AM
Having read (endured?) the piece at the Fishwrap, in the same Q&A session, His Holiness squashed the idea of women giving homilies at Mass because they cannot stand in personae Christi. This seems to squash the idea of Holy Orders for women, which we all know is impossible. The Sacrament is one – it cannot be broken up. Deacons, priests, and bishops receive the Sacrament to lesser and greater degrees, with bishops receiving the fullness of it. A "deaconess" would not be part of Orders and therefore would not have any other liturgical function aside from those offered (extraordinarily) to lay persons. Given that no one baptizes naked adult women anymore (I hope), they really would not have any role different than what lay people already do (helping the poor, social work, etc). This is a useless pursuit driven solely by those seeking (impossible) ordination of women to the priesthood and the episcopacy.
12 May 2016 at 11:22 AM
I have Facebook acquaintances that are either losing their minds or loudly announcing that they will leave the Church and go back to their old lives over this. Your postings are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for your priesthood.
12 May 2016 at 11:26 AM
"Studying is one thing and doing is another….He hasn't been paying attention to the advocates of deaconesses. Instead, he has been talking to those who find the question obscure and muddy."
I tend to disagree. Replace deaconesses with birth control and you have exactly the same situation as the Humanae Vitae rebellion. If the commission is actually created, the damage will be done regardless of the findings of the commission because it's an admission that the issue of ordination of women is not settled doctrine.
One really has to question the purpose of even asking the question. The bulk of parishes I've been to, even orthodox parishes resemble a hen yard with one male priest surrounded by several women eucharistic ministers, women lectors, women organists, women ushers, women greeters, women social organizers, women office staff, etc. Women today likely take on more roles than they ever did in the Early Church. Sure you occasionally see a token non-priest male in the liturgical setting, but they are by far the exception.
That of course is the issue. Studies have shown that children are more likely to stay with the faith, if both parents are active in the faith, but if the father isn't active in the faith it's much more likely that the children abandon the faith than if the mother isn't active. We face a male crisis in the Church, not a women crisis, and unless we can get men to step up and visibly live the faith, the faith is doomed in the West.
Of course, I think deaconesses are a bad idea and give the wrong impression on the Rite of Ordination, etc.
BTW, does a pope have to be popular?
12 May 2016 at 12:05 PM
i acknowledge the sin of despair.
i understand that we may be in, or entering into, a time of chastisement.
i have read the words of St. Katherine of Sienna.
however, i find it very difficult to keep calm, to believe that this stuff is no big deal, and remain serene.
12 May 2016 at 12:09 PM
I think the headlines made by these comments of the pope will cause more mischief than the results of any commission, because the masses and its media messiahs will never read a commission report. A headline is just enough information for them to handle.
I think the pontiff – if he really is interested in this issue – should do a little research on the subject before making public statements. After all he can probably review the historical background on deaconesses in a couple of hours at most.
As a former Episcopalian/Anglican who left over women's ordination, I don't quite think this study is on the order of "nothing to see here/move along." On the other hand, there was a study on women's ordination to the priesthood by the Pontifical Biblical Institute which reached the tendentious conclusion that scripture didn't oppose such a step. And we know that nothing came of it, though the OW supporters trumped it up frequently. It all depends on who is on the commission, the conclusions reached, and what a future pope does with those conclusions.
As for the non-ordained "deaconesses" that were set apart in the Anglican and Lutheran churches up through the 60s, there is no theological objection per se and many of them did very hard, good work for Christ. Nora Binns and Emily Gardiner Neal of the Episcopal Church are excellent examples. (Neal was automatically "promoted" to deacon though not necessarily by her wishes – – she was opposed to women's ordination to the priesthood.) But I wonder what the point of doing so is given the fact that there are numerous other similar secular or religious "ministries" (for lack of a better word) for women today. There might be some quasi-liturgical function in a cloistered religious community, but not much more. The only real point would be to try to get the camel's nose under the tent for ontological impossibilities and the ecclesiastical auto-destruct button. Count me as opposed to this development.

Ugh. Another commission, more wasted money. The Church needs to focus its spending on real issues that can help humanity. This will not– because women already understand and serve the mission of our Church and do not need ordination to validate them. Women serving the Mission of Jesus are teaching, preaching, healing, blessing, anointing, working with the poor and vulnerable, listening, leading… in the home, workplace, and community– in the real world, which is where we must serve. The diaconate would add nothing for women.
That said, I deeply appreciate that Francis listens to and respects women and is willing to explore expressed concerns.
This can of worms is Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge! Big time!!!!
This is coming down the Jesuit pipeline of James Martin, SJ FB page. Seems our pope told a group of women religious he will form a commission to study this. Yikes!
I woke up to hearing this on Catholic radio and wanted to go back to sleep.
Our local "Theology on Tap" was recently going to host a discussion of the topic of "the ordination of women deacons", believing the matter to be debatable. There were several complaints, even among the clergy, and the topic was abruptly changed to instead discuss the Holy Father's recent post-synodal apostolic exhortation. I have a feeling today's comments by the Holy Father will only re-ignite a pointless conversation.
I am praying that such a commission could finally put the issue to rest, once and for all. However, I believe this has already been done in 2002 by the International Theological Commission:
"The present historical overview shows that a ministry of deaconesses did indeed exist, and that this developed unevenly in the different parts of the Church. It seems clear that this ministry was not perceived as simply the feminine equivalent of the masculine diaconate" (International Theological Commission, From the Diakonia of Christ to the Diakonia of the Apostles, chapter II, part IV).
12 May 2016 at 12:50 PM
A priest once told me that women deacons were used at baptisms.
Many people submerged themselves completely naked and in the interest of modesty the women deacons baptized women.
12 May 2016 at 1:02 PM
The appointment of commissions to study settled questions tends inevitably to unsettle them. Just as the publicity generated by Paul VI's appointment of a 1960s commission to study the question of artificial birth control rendered Humanae Vitae effectively DOA in many quarters of Catholic praxis. (Indeed, what other purpose do such study commissions have?)
12 May 2016 at 1:06 PM
Well, we all know the outcome of this already. It'll be stage-managed just as the Synod on the Family was. I'm not falling for this scam again. Wake me when it's over.
12 May 2016 at 1:16 PM
I find it VERY interesting that the Pope has said that he will get the Curia involved. According to CatholicHerald: "He told the meeting: "I will ask the [Congregation for the] Doctrine of the Faith to tell me if there are studies on this."" And again, "He said the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments would send the International Union of Superiors General a full explanation of why women could not give a homily at Mass."
It seems that the Pope believes in the proper authority and roles of his Congregations? See where I'm going with this… I guess we really should listen to Muller's interpretation of AL. After all, the Pope himself differs to the CDF on "obscure" and "muddy" issues.
I only wish the CDF would make an official statement about AL–identical to the refreshingly clear, intellectually rigorous, poetical, uncompromising, and–yes–tenderly merciful
lecture Muller gave about AL in Spain.
I had a conversation with someone about this very topic. She was promoting female deacons whereas I was not. As we were talking I noticed that the same arguments that I have heard women who support female priesthood were being used. I have a feeling that if women are allowed to become deaconesses, it is not going to stop there. While I know that he is only putting a commission together, the progressive side will run with this even after they proved that they were not ordained. This is just an open invite to support their ideology.
12 May 2016 at 1:29 PM
It is precisely because I am a woman that the idea of women deaconesses scares the bejeebers out of me. Does someone think that the Faith hasn't been feminized enough? Goodness, women have taken over everything in your typical parish except priest and deacon. And we've already got the deacon's wives stepping into the protestant minister's wife model, marking their territories in the parish. The people who pushed the married deacons are the same people who are pushing deaconesses, the same that are pushing for womynpriests. And I know too many of the types of women who will be looking to step into the deaconess role: Former Sister They Won't Let Me Preach, Ms. Men's Haircut, and Miss/Mrs. You Can't Argue With Me — I Went to a Jesuit University.
12 May 2016 at 1:40 PM
There are no boundaries here. Expect everything.
The current situation is now far beyond major crisis. Our willingness to consign it any other diagnosis bespeaks our unwillingness to confront it for what it is. There is a deranged and mendacious agenda being wheeled out proudly. Appeals to obedience and respect are enabling nothing less than heresy. The papacy has been hijacked by those who would see the Church of Jesus Christ eviscerated. Deconstructed. Rendered impotent to proclaim the Gospel. If I am incorrect, perhaps it is only a geriatric meltdown.
To the dissidents, this announcement means that EVERYTHING is on the table.

Call my faith weak if you will, but if this Pope opens this Pandoras box.. Im out. I think i probably wont be alone in this. I will either end up at the Ethiopian Tewahedo Church. Or i will answer some obscure voice out of my familys past and join the society of Friends (quakers) I once heard Fr Benedict Groeschel say if he were not a Catholic that is the only group he would consider.. To sit in complete silence and listen for the voice of God. Sounds tempting compared to this cacophony of conflicting and confused voices coming from the top ranks of our clergy.. I ask you all to please pray for me. "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 1 Corinthians 14:33 -KJV
12 May 2016 at 2:31 PM
Glennonite and comedyeye yes that is right. E.g. have you seen the baptism scene in 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding?' Mutatis mutandis and you will see the logic!
12 May 2016 at 2:41 PM
As far as I am aware, having read the texts of some local Councils of Antiquity on the subject as well as the more general Ancient canons given by the See of Rome, the only real differences between a Deaconess and a nun or other consecrated virgin or widow attached to the service of a Parish are that :
1) the Deaconesses were ordinary ministers of teaching
2) they could act as ordinary witnesses of Holy Matrimony and could even conduct its celebration (outside the Mass)
3) they were ordinary ministers of Baptism to the exact same degree as Deacons are
OTOH they took no part whatsoever in the Sacrifice of the Mass, except peripherally perhaps in the Choir and whatnot.
Objectively, I think it's a question that the Church has been thinking about since Vatican II, but I would expect this matter to take the "normal" amount of time to resolve ; which is about 150-200 years, so perhaps the Church may decree something new on the matter in the 22nd Century ?
I've met only one nun who did everything the Deaconesses of old did, except the three above-mentioned ministries that belonged to the Deaconesses ; she would be a fantastic Deaconess, if it were still possible, but even so, in practice there is exactly no need at all for her to provide any of them in any real terms.
There could arguably be an emerging need for Deaconesses in those Middle Eastern and African countries that seek to impose drastic enforcement of laws preventing the society of women with men outside of their family ; given that one traditional role that the Deaconesses played was precisely to provide those Ministries to women in those situations.
Bottom line — the Deaconesses were not (nor are they in the Eastern Church, where they were recently re-instituted) "women deacons" as in the Anglican "church".
Is one mess at a time too much to ask for?
Glennonite, yes, and they were also charged with care of the poor, especially widows, in a time and place when it was improper for men to visit women in private.
12 May 2016 at 3:12 PM
I would never, ever believe in a woman who was claimed to have any degree of the Sacrament of Holy Orders.
I am DELIGHTED that someone here mentions that Francis gave a clear NO about women homilists, and cited a theological reason rather than just "Church law says so" (he himself regards Church laws as often flexible). Seems like many who want "women deacons" want that mainly because they want women to give homilies at Mass. The Dominican sisters here in Bishop Morlino's diocese have done that anyway for years even though they know it is against Church law.
Pope Francis has commented on repeated occasions to the effect that clericalizing women is not the answer. I really don't see him as being attracted to the idea of women clerics or as thinking it is probable.
Cardinal Muller's views on women decacons are well known. He doesn't believe the deaconesses were sacramental, or that the Church has any authority to sacramentally ordain women deacons. I'm sure that Cardinal Muller would be happy to spearhead a commission to clarify this point.
12 May 2016 at 3:14 PM
I read someone make the point earlier that this has kind of taken the focus away from amoris laetitia.
12 May 2016 at 3:18 PM
Its not *entirely* true to say that it would confer no new abilities on women. The big one would be the capacity to preach at Mass, which is a privilege long desired by a great many people of both sexes.
12 May 2016 at 3:22 PM
danielinnola. No, no, please don't have a moment's worry about this. The pope cannot change Catholic doctrine…he may change Catholic practice, and as we have seen with the benefit of hindsight, the outcome is not always felicitous: even a saint like Pius V could be said to have put his foot in it occasionally.
12 May 2016 at 3:43 PM
Geoffrey, your link is very informative, thank you.
This in particular : "In the Middle Ages, the nursing and teaching religious orders of nuns fulfilled in practise the functions of diakonia without, however, being ordained for this ministry. The title, with no corresponding ministry, was given to women who were instituted as widows or abbesses. Right up until the thirteenth century, abbesses were sometimes called deaconesses. … has helped me to understand some odd 13th-15th Century references to "deaconesses" that appeared to contradict the disappearance of the order centuries earlier. It's bothered me for years !!! :-)
12 May 2016 at 3:50 PM
If you are opposed to female deacons, you should probably not be overly concerned. Despite his reputation for surprises, Pope Francis is quite predictable where he shows his hand about where he stands on an issue, and this is one of them. He has consistently stated that he is against "clericalism", including the temptation in some quarters to "clericalize" women. In fact, he raised that concern in response to this suggestion today. This concern has previously led him to reject the idea of creating women cardinals. If you need further assurance, just read what feminists think about Francis' various statements about women's role in the Church, and it will soon become glaringly clear that the risk of Francis upsetting the apple cart in this respect is pretty darn low. In fact, I suspect that his "openness" and listening posture today was a bit of window dressing to prevent a mutiny from the leftward flank.
12 May 2016 at 3:51 PM
Mharden: thank you for the benefit of your research.
And so shouldn't someone make Pope Francis aware the question was already addressed and resolved?
Or is this another instance of Modernists wanting at all costs to destroy the Church brick by brick, leaving nothing unturned until the Church is no longer recognizable as Catholic.
We will wake up and find we have all become Protestants one tenet at a time.
Even though the question was previously addressed and resolved, the Modernists – as we have come to see – will not rest and will come back again and again to get what they want, just as they did with Amoris Laetitia.
12 May 2016 at 3:56 PM
How about one of these women asking the Holy Father to establish a commission to study the re-establishment of the Order of Widows?
[Do I hear an "Amen!"? Something both possible and good!]
12 May 2016 at 4:11 PM
Easy peasy lemon squeezy. You set it up so questions from dissidents are asked in a public forum.
Then, you act as if, hmm, such an interesting question, no one has asked that before, how bright you are for asking it! You know, we really should study the effect of moonbeams on prayer, perhaps there is a connection, and we should study it, yes, definitely, we will set up a commission to study it!
Then you hand pick people whose feelings on moonbeams and prayer are already established, so you know what conclusions they are going to reach in advance, thereby allowing you to publicly conclude you have heard from the Moonbeam Commission, and results are conclusive. Of course, they knew it and you knew it, so the findings are no surprise to anyone.
12 May 2016 at 8:08 PM
You are correct, Grampa.
12 May 2016 at 8:35 PM
Just read this email from a Diocesan Priest sent to another Catholic blog; apparently it's infallibly defined – so how can there be a Commission to discuss it?
"Pope Francis is spoiling for a crisis in the Church and a papacy of unprecedented proportion if he tries to countermand Pope St. John Paul's infallible pronouncement on women and the sacrament of Holy Orders, Ordinatio Sacerdotalis. Heaven help us as the Pope stands on the precipice of formal heresy."�
Another Francis-inspired crisis in the making….
It appears he feels is his prerogative to put anything up for grabs as Pope.
I highly doubt he'll open a commission to reopen the minor orders anytime soon…

12 May 2016 at 10:10 PM
A wise priest once told me it's best not to practice brinkmanship…seeing how far you can get to the edge without falling off. This appears to be what the Holy Father engages in. How much of a platform can he give heretics without crossing the line?
I find myself repeating often to myself these days that the Lord promised us that the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church.
I once looked with some focus and detail into the (as it turned out) rather obscure and arcane question of whether the Deaconesses of old were "ordained" or merely "instituted".
At first glance, the arguments in each direction seemed equally balanced.
Nevertheless, I eventually came to the same conclusion as the CDF did in its more general study of the History of the Diaconate in general — that they were ordained [Ummm.]; but three major caveats also emerged from my study.
1) First, the Church's understanding of the word "ordain" has actually changed significantly during the 1000 years since the Order of Deaconesses ceased to exist. 1000 years ago, it was used to refer to ANY act attaching a person to an Order, including the completely non-clerical ones — so that one could be "ordained" into a Lay Order even !!! This has been clarified multiple times in the following centuries, but it remains the greatest source of confusion in the question of whether the Deaconesses were ordained or not.
2) The Order of Deaconesses was nevertheless an ancient equivalent of the old "minor Orders", where "ordination" rather than "institution" provided entry into the Order — except that the minor Orders were abolished, generating even more confusion to our own contemporary POV regarding the Deaconesses in particular, given that they were never technically a minor Order — the notion of minor Orders did not exist 1000 years ago [Huh?] — although had the Order survived, it's most likely they would have been.
3) Probably most importantly though, the form of the Ordination of the Deaconesses was different to the form of Ordination of the Deacons ; the Deaconesses constituted a non-priestly Order, even though they were considered as "clerics" (the ancient canons are actually very clear on this one particular point, surprising as that may seem from a 21st century POV), whereas the Deacons are a priestly Order, even though they are not priests. The Deacons are ordained for a Service to the Altar and to the Faithful, whereas the Deaconesses were ordained for a Service to the Faithful only. Both forms of the Diaconal Service were however defined as "clerical". Technically there was however only one Order of the Diaconate, to which both the Deacons and Deaconesses belonged [I think that's wrong.] — possibly for mainly practical reasons, because the Deaconesses only ever existed in extremely small numbers (which is of course precisely why historical sources concerning them exist in such minute quantity) — but the Order was constituted of two separate branches, Deacons and Deaconesses, whereby the two branches held certain things in common, but were still understood as being separate.
So I agree, with the CDF's earlier historical study, that the Deaconesses were ordained, not only because as that document shows they received the laying on of hands which has since those times been clarified as a distinctive feature of ordination versus institution (they were also anointed, which the CDF document does not mention), [laying on of hands has not, does not, in all cases indicate ordination] but also because my own studies showed that the Deacons and Deaconesses were in one single Order of the Diaconate, albeit in two rather diverse Forms and in two partially diverse, partially shared Ministries. [I don't think that's right.] The Deaconesses exercised their own Ministry for their Bishop, perhaps attached to a Parish, or towards a Community of Nuns ; and as needs repeating probably systematically for the avoidance of any doubt or confusion, NOT towards the Altar.
13 May 2016 at 7:42 AM
Huh — St Francis of Assisi was a Deacon.
I suppose this does entail some sort of spiritual dimension to the Pope's actions here, given his particular veneration and admiration for that Saint.
Pingback: Pope Francis Opens Conversation on Deaconesses – Big Pulpit
Father Z, I don't think that I have a complete understanding of this particularly arcane question, especially given that the Ancient sources are at least partly contradictory. Your hesitations mirror my own.
I can only present my understanding of the sources as I read and analysed them. There are no dogmatic declarations from the Magisterium regarding these difficulties, so that a multiplicity of analyses can exist simultaneously within the Catholicity. Which is itself an anomaly given the ancientness of the basic questions.
I think the one formal error of the CDF document on the Diaconate is to have attempted to present certain questions relating to the Diaconesses as "settled", when they haven't been — their particular Ministry simply faded from practice, but was never formally destituted.
Clearly the difference in our understanding of Ordination as it existed in the 11th Century and as it exists in the 21st (differences in understanding, I mean, not in the Sacramental Nature as such) are very confusing, in our considerations of a particular Ministry that has not existed for a thousand years, so that I think that only a Pope or an Ecumenical Council could actually provide any fully Authoritative instruction regarding any related difficulties.

How to put the J/JA NINE magazine release back together.
by Admin » Fri May 11, 2012 9:00 pm
Sticky provided by our very own Farmkid.
If someone knows a better/easier/more official way, please post it; but here's what works for me:
Note: do all of this over a box or other container, because you WILL drop the mag button spring before you're done, and it's very small.
1) Remove both grips and the safety and safety spring on the left side.
2) Hold the frame with the barrel pointing down, and the left side toward you.
3) Lay the mag release spring in place. You'll probably need a pair of long, thin tweezers for this. (There's reason that the cheapo Made-In-China tool people at gun shows sell these. Buy some in straight and bent.)
Bonus suggestion by jeffchance: a slight dab of grease on the spring can stick it in place.
4) Carefully insert the mag release button, making sure to not knock the spring out of place. To do this, point it up over the spring on the way in, and then let it come down on the spring when the button has reached the inside of the right side of the frame.
5) Touching the right end of the button through the hole in the right side, work it down until it can pass through the hole. Hold the button in the down position of the left side: the button and spring are now in the correct position.
6) Reinstall the safety and safety spring now with one hand while keeping the button depressed with the other. Carefully position the left grip, sliding it in over the button, and screw it down. The button is not going anywhere at this point.
7) Complete any assembly on the right side and replace the right grip.
I hope that this is clear, but feel free to ask about anything that's not. Good luck!

Im still lost between steps 2-3...where exactly does the spring go?
by adam01364 » Sun May 03, 2015 5:31 am
The mag release spring sits on a "shelf" inside the mag well. Dead center of this picture shows where it's located.
Putting the spring in place can be a challenge. I guide mine into place with the plastic tube from a can of WD-40. (Steel probes that can become magnetized are not at all helpful. Don't ask me how I know.) Once you get the mag release into position, carefully insert a mag in, it will hold all things in place until you can reinstall the grips. | http://www.bryco-jennings-jimenezarms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61 | 2018/05/23 16:20:40 | mC4 |

Seychelles Is Among Five Nations Bidding To Host The 2023 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup
by welkin... January 8, 2022, 11:33 pm
The chairman of the Seychelles Football Federation, Elvis Chetty, told SNA that "we are very serious in this bid and that is why we have also recruited a top professional in the tournaments bidding field, a man who worked with South Africa's successful 2010 FIFA world cup bid."
The bidding process opened in October and will conclude with the selection of the host in March 2022. Seychelles is bidding along with Colombia, Bahrain, Thailand and UAE.
If Seychelles is successful, the island nation will be seen as one of the premier beach soccer destinations. Seychelles, an archipelago in the western Indian Ocean, hosted the Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) beach soccer tournament in 2015.
"We are confident that we will be successful in our bid to host the World Cup and if we do get it, it will be huge for Seychelles. We will have international recognition and be in the sporting limelight," added Chetty.
Earlier this week, the government pledged to support the Federation's bid to host the tournament which is expected to bring more visibility to the island nation with the worldwide coverage of such event.
The Chairman told SNA that with a successful bid new infrastructure will be needed and a demountable stadium will be built and after the games, it will be sent to La Digue and Praslin, to help develop the sport on those islands.
For Seychelles, their last international tournament was earlier this year, when the team travelled to South Africa for the COSAFA Beach Soccer tournament. Seychelles' side did not win any matches.
The 2023 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup will be the 12th edition. It is the premier international beach soccer championship contested by men's national teams of the member associations of FIFA. | https://www1.naijaforbe.com/seychelles-is-among-five-nations-bidding-to-host-the-2023-fifa-beach-soccer-world-cup/ | 2022/01/22 14:23:58 | mC4 |
0 | example_43328 | Hi Geektimes! Today we continue our PC Buyers Guide cycle and talk about the piece of hardware without which no computer will work at all. About the power supply. Questions about power supplies are asked a lot and regularly. Of course, the most common question is how to choose the right PSU and how powerful a “feeder” is needed for a certain set of iron. But in addition to calculating the required capacity, there are several more interesting topics that I would like to highlight today: what is 80+ certification, which marketing “enhancers” should be ignored, and which ones to consider, and, of course, which manufacturer to choose.
In order to better understand some aspects of power supply and generally more or less understand why the choice of power supply is more important than at first glance seem to many users (especially those who have not lost the hardware because of the filthy feeder), it is worth considering the general principles of this thing. | http://www.oltjp.com/shaun-white-bbq.html | 2021-03-01T12:38:16Z | OSCAR-2109 |

I love your objective. To get others to see from their own minds how beautiful their worlds can truly be if they just tried to make it so.
Thank you, so much for sharing that! I love that you have such a vivid imagination! I also hope to read more writing of yours!
The rainbow creatures are out today from a wonderful place beyond the golden pathway. They’re making their way across the mysterious woodlands. While walking on the pathway, these rainbow creatures could smell the sweetly scented air coming from someplace.
All of a sudden,“Geego”,the frog, wearing big-rimmed glasses, hears in the distance running water sounds. Do you think maybe this is the enchanted place we’re looking for that has a magic waterfall in it? Geego could see off in the horizon a beautiful rainbow falls. Just ahead, right where this fresh smelling spring fed waterfall was created, low and behold there were thousands of scattered wild flowers. These blossoming colored flowers were so magnificent that your mind could only imagine. Just think how quiet and peaceful this wonderland feels to you being surrounded by all gods’ natural beauty. Let’s lie back in these flowers and gaze out at the blue-crystallized lake that also appeared at the bottom of the waterfalls. So smooth this lake shimmered that you could skate across it at anytime. Would you like to listen to something wonderful? In Geegos magic rainbow jacket, which he took off and put it by the tree next to the glistening lake, was a tape. All the rainbow creatures decided to take a little snooze here under the magic rainbow tree, as the (Breaking the Mist) tape was playing relaxing music. Keep imagining that special place that you can go to for it will give you that love and warmth and feeling of happiness. That place where you can rejuvenate your body, mind and soul.
Come let us ride, just travel, to a far off land, on a rainbowland carpet! Drifting into another world, someone heard, “Who said that carpet comes into my special place?”
It was princess Nok-a-Nok, who spoke. She said that that ratty carpet needed some more colour to its threads. To everyone’s surprise, the princess sprinkled her gold dust in the air…Can you imagine what happened next? Maybe something would appear out of nowhere, or out pops an animal. Well to our surprise, the rainbow gold dust turned that ratty carpet into a shiny new rainbow rug! While all this synergy was glowing about, peeking around the rainbow tree was an itsy-bitsy worm. “What’s the matter little worm?” asked the princess. The sad looking worm had a surprised look on his face as to think that someone was actually talking to him. The princess asked the worm if his name was as colourful as all the other things in this place. “NO!” the worm replied. I have a name that everyone calls me at home and it’s “Sneaky”. I’m a tiny slithering creature who likes to wander in the tall green grass once in a while, ever so minding my own business like others do. Geego says that princess Nok-a-Nok will help you feel better all over and then you will be happy today, OK Sneaky? Sneaky liked this idea and slithered up the nearest tree, looking for a tasty juicy heart-icicle to eat. At that moment, a burst of “Yaa-Hooo!” was heard for miles around. Well I guess you know what happened then.
Let your creature mind flow and think of where you might travel next. I’ll leave you here at this moment in time and give you a tip to ponder upon. This day was so unbelievable and fantastic that I hope you and your friends will dream of lovely magical thoughts…(Maybe rainbow balloons are waiting for you on the next travel?) Anything that makes you happy and warm all over inside is something really precious to hold onto.
Don’t forget that Rainbow Children can be what you want in life. All you have to do is relax and think of that safe place to visit from time to time when life brings your down.
Awe...thank you for the vote of confidence...I will try it out and see where it goes....Right now it's buried but will try to work on it soon as I am still feeling crappy!....:( Glad to know that you are a visual person too....It's great to know others so you can make some kind of a connection to keep one's spirit inspired and motivated...:)
If you'd like to share that story with us all that would be wonderful. I'm sure we'd all enjoy it! By visual do you mean we'd all have to have a pretty big imagination to understand it and see it through your eyes? I'm sure I could do it! I'm a very visual person.. lol!
I have a story put away in my binder somewhere but it's a long one and I think that my English teacher from Canadore College here in parry Sound said that it's a more visual story. If you want me to post it i can. But am going to get to bed and get some zzzz's to deal with this nasty cold. Thank god i see the doctor tomorrow and i hope he will give me something to get this cold to clear up...Nite and pleasant dreams for everyone tonight....:)
Unfortunetly I'm not that much of a story writer so I don't have any stories for you. I mean I could write a story but I'm more of a poet so... this is for all of those story writers out there! Anybody who would like to share their stories, please do so here! | OSCAR-2019 |

How to Upgrade Your WordPress Site
Posted on June 25, 2010 by J. Mays | Updated: July 20, 2021
Category: Technical Support | Tags: Tutorial, WordPress
WordPress 3.0 was released this week, and just like with any new release there are a lot of questions about upgrading existing WordPress sites. In this tutorial we will demonstrate how to upgrade WordPress using the built-in upgrading tools.
You should ALWAYS make a backup of your website before making any large changes, especially when changing software versions. You can make a backup through cPanel. The most important part of your backup will likely be your database where all of your posts and post data are stored.
WordPress releases regular updates to improve the software, fix bugs, and improve security. Thankfully WordPress is one of the easiest systems to upgrade.
Log in to your WordPress administration interface. If there is an update available you will see the following banner notification near the top of the page, as pictured below:
WordPress "Upgrade Now"
Click on the Please update now link and you will be taken to the internal Upgrade WordPress page, pictured below:
Note: If you see a page that asks you for FTP information to perform the update, then your server is running the software in a way that WordPress needs FTP access to complete the upgrade. If your server is using cPanel you will need to use the same user and password details that you used to log in to your domain level cPanel interface. If you have any questions regarding WordPress upgrades via FTP please contact our support department or review the documentation at the WordPress Codex.
If you are not asked for FTP information then click on the Upgrade Automatically button:
Click the upgrade!
If everything goes well you will see several messages as WordPress downloads the update, unpacks it on the server, and then activates it. A final WordPress upgraded successfully message (pictured below) indicates that the upgrade is complete.
WordPress Upgrade Successful
Congratulations! You have now safely upgraded your WordPress site. Open a few pages on your site and make sure you do not see any errors. If you do see any issues, give us a call or open a ticket, and we will get this addressed for you. If we can't get it fixed quickly we can help restore the backup you made before you started the upgrade and then help you through the process one step at a time. | https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/how-to-upgrade-your-wordpress-site/ | 2022/01/20 06:12:23 | mC4 |
0 | example_53620 | The Journey of a Geek: What I Learned From My Mother
In honor of Mother's Day, it's my duty as an honorable American boy to say just how fantastic my mother really is. When I was young and needed emotianl support, who was there for me? Mom. With warm little nothings that could put even the most excessively hyper beast back into its pen. Every time I think about her singing "You Are My Sunshine", my heart literally melts. No matter how hard I was crying or how upset I was, hearing her sing that melody always calmed me down. Through the best of times, through the worst of times.
I really can't help but admire her spirit. She may be a bit on the paranoid side, but she also has an amazing sparking energy that never ceases to let up. Even when she's depressed, even when she's pissed, the energy never goes away. It's like an honest life force shining through everything. The situation around me may be completely black with no end in sight, but when my mother is around she's like my light of hope. Everything brightens up, and I'm finally able to see my path once again.
I'm not saying that my mother is perfect by any stretch, she is a human being afterall. She is, however, the one who conceived and raised me from an infant into the man I've become today. Just for that alone, I am forever thankful, and forever loving. :) Love you, mom!

0 | example_2821 | Hello! I hope you all had a great weekend! Last week I posted 5 habits for Massive Impact if you missed that post click here. To recap, the 5 habits for Massive Impact are as follows:
Today, we are going to talk about the importance of drinking water. Staying hydrated is one of the BEST ways you can take care of your body, as water is essential to maintain the function of every cell in your body. Proper hydration increases your energy levels, promotes weight loss, flushes toxins, improves skin quality and digestion, as well as relieving joint pain and even headaches!
Our recommendation is for you to drink half your body weight in fluid ounces of water daily. Here is a resource to help you with that calculation:
Drinking half your body weight in fluid ounces can be a challenge so here are a few healthful ways to help you drink more water:
Flavor it up – add lemon, cucumber, orange, grapefruit slices, mint, or berries to a pitcher of water and let it marinate in your refrigerator for a few hours. You can also add a drop of a therapeutic grade citrus flavored essential oil.
Start your day with a large glass of water – wake up and guzzle – this will get you off to a great start
Set reminders – set alarms on your phone to remind you to drink your water throughout the day or try apps on your phone like Waterlogged.
Track it – set your daily goal and track it throughout the day. Try putting a rubber band around your water bottle and make a mark each time you finish the bottle.
Commit to drinking half your body weight in water or even just increasing your water intake for one week. You will be amazed at how much better you feel, how your energy levels have increased, and you will be very impressed with your clear state of mind. Need help tracking your water intake and staying on point with your goals? Visit www.wilcoxwellnessfitness.com/habitstracker to sign up to receive more support from us. We will send you information via email to help support your habits for massive impact including a printable habits tracker that you can use to measure your progress within the next 21 days.
An online dating service is a company that provides specific mechanisms (generally websites or applications) for online dating through the use of Internet-connected personal computers or mobile devices.The 2016 Pew Research Center's survey reveals that the usage of online dating sites by American adults increased from 9% in 2013, to 12% in 2015.Further, during this period, the usage among 18- to 24-year-olds tripled, while that among 55- to 65-year-olds doubled.Profiles created by real humans also have the potential to be problematic.For example, online dating sites may expose more female members in particular to stalking, fraud, and sexual violence by online predators.
Apart from the parents of the bride, the only other high profile guests seen in Rhinebeck were Bill Clinton’s former secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen and fashion designer Vera Wang. | OSCAR-2019 |

Job Description –Senior Trusts and Grants Manager
Location: Hybrid / Office Based
FareShare exists because of two hugely important and highly topical issues.
As a consequence of supply and demand, huge volumes of food are grown or made in the UK and a percentage ends up as unwanted surplus with little commercial value.
At the same time, there are many thousands of frontline community groups and charities that are providing a vital safety net for the most vulnerable in our society. We seek to squeeze as much social good out of that uneconomic surplus by getting it to almost 10,000 such groups across the UK whilst they provide essential wraparound support services for their beneficiaries.
The Cost of Living Crisis and before it, the COVID-19 have shone a spotlight on the issue of food insecurity in the UK and with it, FareShare's ability to get food to vulnerable communities nationwide.
It is estimated that over 4.7m UK households are now experiencing food insecurity and whilst the equivalent of 1.3bn meals of good surplus food occurs each year, FareShare believes that it is wrong for these two situations to co-exist.
To combat this, FareShare is moving into an ambitious 4 year programme to achieve
unparalleled growth in both our food volumes as well as our
fundraised income. We are driven by the opportunity to secure even more of the food available at farm gate, manufacturing and retail levels and to do this, we
need to maximise our new groundswell of public support to generate the funds needed to operate at this greater scale. There has never been a more
exciting time to join a relevant organisation which delivers both social and environmental impact, at such a crucial time.
By joining us you would be leading some of our most important work in helping us generate more support from Donors, Corporate Food and Fundraising Partners, Foundations and Volunteers as we strive in our ambition to meet the demand for food
to support the UK's most vulnerable.

0 | example_53517 | CNN Poll: Majority say invoke War Powers Act – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs
"That's a common reaction from the American public," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Although Congress as an institution is held in fairly low regard, over the past two decades Americans have typically told pollsters that Congress should be the branch of government to make these kinds of decisions - from Iraq to Haiti to Kosovo to Somalia, and regardless of the president's party."
But support for Congress having the final say on Libya doesn't mean the public opposes Obama's policy. Fifty-four percent support limited use of military force by the United States in Libya as part of a NATO mission to enforce U.N. resolutions. That's the wording of a resolution now making its way through Congress.
Turning to the situation in the Middle East, the survey indicates that two-thirds of Americans say their sympathies are more with the Israelis than the Palestinians. But two-thirds also say that the U.S. should not take either side in that conflict; about a third want the U.S. to take the Israelis' side. Two-thirds also have a favorable view of Israel; with 44 percent viewing Israel as an ally of the U.S. and another 38 percent saying that Israel is friendly toward the U.S. but not an ally.
According to the poll, half of the public says that Iran and North Korea are enemies of the U.S. Only 11 percent feel that China is an enemy while more than six in ten believe that China is an ally or is friendly toward the U.S.
"The 'special relationship' between the U.S. and Great Britain remains strong, no doubt bolstered by a series of speeches and state dinners while Obama was in London last week," adds Holland. "Nearly nine in ten Americans have a favorable view of Britain, with two-thirds saying Britain is an ally of the U.S. and virtually all the rest say that Britain is a friendly country."
For crying out loud, read 'em together: the majority want Congress to get on the ball, provide the authorization under the War Powers Act and allow Obama to continue our limited involvement in Libya based on his policy. The GOP doesn't care...they'd rather try to find a way to turn it to political advantage than do anything without first considering how their party might profit from it, even if it requires making a complete mess...after all, they'll just opint fingers at Obama and the Dems and their mindless base will go along with it.
Obama over stepped his bounds on this one. The response was far and above what was deserved. Libya is in shambles now all thanks to BO. Yet he has still done nothing to help people in Africa that truely needed recue. This man is such a liar and needs to go I can't wait to see him try to pull this stick on Israel and watch what happens when the Military refuses to back him up..
Sadly, the weasels on both sides of the isle care more about political posturing than taking actions to benefit America. For this reason they can never really be trusted to make solid decisions, especially those decisions requiring political risks. The Senate is nothing more than a forum for the Republicans to obstruct every action, even those they support. The House is a childish group of radicals incapable of any meaningful compromise, choosing instead to offer a series of political statements of no real value to Americans. Why trust the Congress? Look at their record of no accomplishments!
People can think what they want, but that's not what the constitution says. There's a process for changing the constitution, if the people's representatives choose to try it.
Obama played Libya correctly. Obama/Biden 2012
Obama has managed to over step his authority on many other issues also.
He's clearly abusing the presidency on many levels.
I don't think that anyone is disputing that Congress should have the final say, but they shouldn't be playing politics with it either. Authorize it and lets get on with it.
May 31, 2011 02:03 pm at 2:03 pm |
Who cares? Obama is doing the Libya operation at bargin basement costs and with a ton of help from our NATO allies.
We don't even have one boot on the ground so it is a moot point.
news flash..how about this poll...most americans say get your troops home now... were tired of wasted lives and money for people who dont care one bit for us...
So where were all these people when Bush dragged us into unending wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?
The problem with the War Powers Act is that has turned into a political football to handcuff the party in the White House by denying the Commander-In-Chief the flexibility to act in the nation's best interests. Rarely do the interests of one political party or the other coincide with the nation's best interests. | https://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/05/31/cnn-poll-majority-say-invoke-war-powers-act/ | 2022/07/02 09:38:11 | mC4 |
1 | example_83501 | I took the latter half of 2017 off from blogging. Not because I didn’t want to write- quite the opposite. It’s that I couldn’t figure out how to communicate what I wanted to say through the persona that I’ve created for myself. I’ve felt fundamentally stuck.
And I don’t think I’m alone nor that it’s just a function of social media. The 2016 election and 2017 fall out has ruptured the pseudo-belief that we could (and should) have a separation between our work selves and “personal” [read: political] selves . (Others went further and said that there IS no separation- most notably the google-glassholes and brogrammers.)
We created empty personas for ourselves- using motivational quotes and stories as substitutes for actual authenticity. The rise of livestreaming led to an additional level of pseudo-transparency. “Look”, the self-proclaimed motivational speaker states, “This is what my day-to-day live looks like. If I can do it, so can you!” And yes they get followers and build up fan bases- because that’s what we do as humans- we look for opportunities to connect particularly with charismatic individuals.
So this new breed of thought-leader/motivational speaker began to write books and get speaking gigs, all coining their various branded hashtags and “communities”. And we let them do it- in fact we supported them.
But we couldn’t talk about it. Just like we couldn’t talk about the fact that “diversity panels” tended to be led by men or the fact that a celebration of women in leadership turned into a carefully cordoned off “women’s lunch”- where men feared to tread.
The BIG no-no was calling out the lack of diversity in speaker line-ups and influencer lists. “Women just aren’t interested” was the line. Heaven-forbid there be any type of systematic bias.
I could go on and on but I won’t- there are already some excellent articles documenting the barriers women and minorities face in the “thought leadership field”.
My point is that these are the issues I didn’t know how to raise on social and my blog. Like women in other industries have written, I too worried that I’d be labeled as “difficult to work with” which could be a death knell to advancement in our very relationship-based industry. | https://www.hullcitytigers.com/teams/first-team/defender/joshua-emmanuel/ | 2021-02-26T19:05:43Z | OSCAR-2109 |

This pop ballad was written by George David Weiss & Bob Thiele. It was first recorded by Louis Armstrong and released in 1967 reaching No.1 in the UK. Armstrong's recording was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
The songs recording session followed Armstrong's Las Vagas midnight show. By 2am the musicians were recording. ABC president Larry Newton showed up to photograph Armstrong. Newton wanted a swingy pop song like "Hello, Dolly!", a big hit for Armstrong when he was with Kapp Records, so when Newton heard the slow pace of "What a Wonderful World", he tried to stop the session. Newton was consequently locked out of the studio. The session ended around 6 am, going longer than expected. To make sure the orchestra members were paid extra for their overtime, Armstrong accepted only $250 musicians union scale for his work.
This is a one-off single rhythm complete with intro's/endings/fills & variations written in the style of the song for newer Ketron instruments. (Please note this is not a song file - often referred to as a midi file - that refers to and plays only one song. Subject to the chords you play on your instrument this style can be used for many numbers of which What a Wonderful World is just one). | https://www.carillonstudios.com/what-a-wonderful-world-ketron-gold-single-styles.html | 2022/01/17 15:47:49 | mC4 |

1 | example_14162 | `); 15 amazing facts you must know about Jabal Moussa Biosphere Reserve! - The961
The reserve is home to religious and historic sites.
Jabal Moussa Biosphere Reserve (JMBR) is located in Mount Lebanon. It covers an area of 6500 hectares and protects animals, trees, and plants. The reserve is also home to religious and historic sites such as an abandoned Ottoman settlement, and a Byzantine Church.
Jabal Moussa and its surrounding villages became part of the UNESCO Network of Biosphere Reserves in 2009. These villages are Yahchouch, Qehmez, Jouret el Thermos, Nahr ed Dahab, Ghbale, Aabri, and Chouwen.
The reserve perfectly combines nature, adventure, and history. Visitors can hike ten different trails, observe animals, discover plants, and visite historic sites.
@suzannesaquerembedded via
It is home to at least 727 flora species, out of which 26 are endemic to Lebanon, and six to Jabal Moussa.
Jabal Moussa is home to over 130 species of birds. In fact, the reserve is a Global Important Bird Area.
More than 20 wild mammal species inhabit the mountain. Some of them are well-known such as foxes, squirrels, hedgehogs, and wild boars. Others are limited to the region such as the striped hyena which is the national animal of Lebanon.
@tarekmunzerembedded via
In fact, hyenas are at risk of extinction because of hunting.
@seen_and_savedembedded via
The reserve also encloses historic sites such as a Byzantine Church, Roman stairs, ruins of old houses, a watermill, an olive press, and an abandoned Ottoman settlement.
Emperor Hadrian's inscriptions are intended to protect certain species of trees such as cedar, cypress, juniper, and oak.
This is a 300-year-old Lebanese house!
@chezchavetteembedded via
The Lake of Chouwen attracts thousands of people every year. It is breathtaking!
The Association for the Protection of Jabal Moussa contributes to the financial growth of the surrounding villages. It launched a line of food and handicraft products which are manufactured by 50 motivated local women.
The products are currently being sold at various points of sales across Lebanon under the name of "Jabal Moussa."
If you're planning on visiting JMBR, make sure you're wearing comfortable clothes and shoes. Don't forget to pack with you a trash bag, a water bottle, and some snacks. Remember: you can't litter, hunt, or pick plants.

Oxfam says the rich got richer in the pandemic, and the wealth gap is killing the poor

The richest people in the world got even richer during the pandemic and more people fell into poverty, says an Oxfam report. The charity claims that this growing economic gap leads to "economic violence."
Billionaires have had a great pandemic.
And poor people haven't.
Those are two of the key points in a new report, called "Inequality Kills," from Oxfam, a charitable organization based in the U.K. that seeks to wipe out poverty.
But there's another assertion in this report.
The wider-than-ever inequality gap is not just unfair, the authors of the report say. They believe that this growing economic divide is leading to death – from starvation, from lack of health care, from climate disasters, from gender-based violence exacerbated by financial pressures.
To describe these consequences, they use the term "economic violence," a term used in academic circles to describe the harm caused by, for example, taking away someone's income or damaging their property.
"What we're saying is if the world was more equal, at least 21,000 fewer people could be dying each day," says Irit Tamir, director of Oxfam America's Private Sector Department. Because in an equal world, Oxfam says, the rich wouldn't be able to get quite so rich and governments would have more funds to stop "economic violence."
That sounds like a controversial assertion. (Elon Musk, the world's richest man, doesn't seem to agree, based on a recent interview. We'll have more on his perspective later.)
Here's why Oxfam is making the claim about inequality – and what other analysts have to say about it.
First, the economic data
To understand Oxfam's thesis, you first have to look at the data on wealth and poverty, which Oxfam gathered from public sources like the Forbes Billionaires List and the World Bank.
During the pandemic, billionaires experienced the "biggest surge" in wealth since public records began tracking it, according to the report. The world's 10 richest men saw their wealth double from $700 billion to $1.5 trillion. Elon Musk alone saw a more than 1,000% increase in his wealth based on Forbes' estimates, from $26 billion pre-pandemic to $294 billion in November 2021.
Why did that happen? According to the report, when governments injected trillions of dollars into their economies to prevent a global recession, it sparked a stock market boom (in spite of the recent downs there have been plenty of ups). And further, says Francisco Ferreira, a professor of inequality studies at The London School of Economics, other assets of the wealthy, like their homes, also saw a boom in value.
Ironically, says Ferreira, many of the critics of billionaire wealth were supportive of bank policies, like zero interest rates, to encourage borrowing and spending. They thought these moves would increase credit to firms, for example, and thus, curb unemployment. Whether that has actually happened remains to be seen, he says.
Meanwhile, Oxfam determined, based on World Bank data, that 99% of the world lost income and more than 160 million people were pushed into poverty during the pandemic. These personal losses were often due to lockdowns that prevented daily wage earners and those in informal jobs from working, factory shutdowns and layoffs in sectors heavily impacted by physical distancing and travel restrictions, like tourism.
Although many governments rolled out social protections, like stimulus checks and short-term jobs, Ferreira says that in some cases government assistance to corporations greatly outweighed what it gave to workers. And some of that money to corporations "did not actually help create or keep any jobs but just contributed to profits," he says.
Then again, that was to be expected, say some researchers.
Dr. Muhammad Zaman, a professor of biomedical engineering and international health at Boston University, says the findings in the report are "troubling but unfortunately, not surprising."
"Some people have been saying that the pandemic is a great equalizer – that everybody feels it the same way, but that's just not true," says Zaman. "That's never true in infectious diseases."
Are billionaires to blame?
That's a question to debate. Oxfam says that programs to help the poor – food aid, unemployment insurance, health-care reimbursement, unemployment insurance – are underfunded even as the wealthy and powerful lobby for policies, such as tax loopholes and monopolies, that will add to their coffers.
It's not quite that simple, suggests Ferreira. "I think [economic violence] exists. Billionaires may be to blame for some of that, but they're not alone," he says. For instance, "a lot of voters in rich countries support the absence of climate policies. So yes, blame the billionaires, but not alone."
Zaman would hesitate to say that people are being killed directly by billionaire wealth. But the Oxfam report does point to a tragically broken system, he says.
"There's a failure on the part of the system that allows some people to get obscenely rich, while others do not have the basic commodities to survive from one day to the next," he says. "Lacking two meals a day leads to disease and malnutrition, but someone else is able to double their wealth and get away with paying absolutely no or very little taxes. That is, I think, extremely morally objectionable."
The pandemic offers concrete examples of how this inequality plays out, says Oxfam. The world has the ability to manufacture enough vaccines for everyone, says Tamir — but one reason that's not happening is that certain pharmaceutical companies aren't sharing their vaccine recipe to maintain their monopoly and profits.
Tax the rich now, says Oxfam. 'Patriotic millionaires' agree
The first step to solving this problem, according to the report, is to "claw back extreme wealth" through taxes.
Ferreira agrees: "I think it's certainly appropriate that we should focus on how extremely rich people are able to navigate loopholes and tax designs so that they end up paying very little taxes."
More than 100 billionaires and millionaires agree.
"Most of us can say that, while the world has gone through an immense amount of suffering in the last two years, we have actually seen our wealth rise during the pandemic – yet few if any of us can honestly say that we pay our fair share in taxes," a group of 102 ultra-wealthy individuals, including Disney heiress Abigail Disney, said in an open letter on January 19 to the Davos attendees at the virtual version held this year.
"Tax us, the rich, and tax us now," the signatories, who call themselves "Patriotic Millionaires," demanded.
According to the report, a one-time tax of 99% on the newly accrued pandemic wealth of just the 10 richest men would raise $812 billion – enough to make vaccines for the whole world and help 80 countries fund universal health care and other social-safety-net programs, gender-based violence interventions and climate measures. Such a tax would still leave the group $8 billion richer as a whole than they were before the pandemic, and every one of them would still be a billionaire, says Oxfam.
Not every billionaire agrees. In a December 2021 interview with Time, Musk expressed doubt in the government's ability to actually use money from a wealth tax wisely "for the good of the people."
"You want those who are managing capital to be good stewards of capital. And I think the government is inherently not a good steward of capital," Musk told Time.
He also said that people shouldn't be upset with the ultra-rich as long as they're doing something helpful for humanity. What he thinks should upset people is if billionaires are spending excessively on luxuries for themselves.
"In terms of things I think people should perhaps get upset about ... I think ... excess consumption is a thing to get upset about, you know, somebody just wasting money on personal luxuries in a crazy way," Musk told TIME.
Ferreira also notes that "fighting inequality isn't about reducing the egregious income and wealth at top for its own sake." Instead, he says we should fight inequality for two reasons: to generate resources to help people at the bottom of society and to make sure that governments don't become controlled by a small group of elites who hold all the resources.
"When elites become too rich and too powerful, they dictate the way governments work," says Ferreira.
But Tamir says that billionaires should know that the inequality they're benefitting from now is not good for anybody in the long term — including them.
"When you have discontent among the masses, and the masses feel that a privileged class is getting away with different rules and benefits than the rest of society, it creates social unrest," says Tamir. "It's why Marie Antoinette ended up at the guillotine."

Learn about our Editorial Process
Updated on August 11, 2019
This icebreaker is ideal for almost any setting because no materials are needed, your group can be divided into manageable sizes, and you want your participants to get to know each other anyway. Adults learn best when they know the people surrounding them.
You may have people in your group who hate this icebreaker so much they’ll still remember everyone’s name two years from now! You can make it harder by requiring everyone to add an adjective to their name that starts with the same letter (e.g. Cranky Carla, Blue-eyed Bob, Zesty Zelda). You get the gist.
Ideal Size
Up to 30. Larger groups have tackled this game, but it becomes increasingly harder unless you break into smaller groups.
Application
You can use this game to facilitate introductions in the classroom or at a meeting. This is also a fabulous game for classes involving memory.
Time Needed
Depends entirely on the size of the group and how much trouble people have remembering.
Materials Needed
None.
Instructions
Instruct the first person to give his or her name with a descriptor: Cranky Carla. The second person gives the first person’s name and then his own name: Cranky Carla, Blue-eyed Bob. The third person starts at the beginning, reciting each person before her and adding her own: Cranky Carla, Blue-eyed Bob, Zesty Zelda.
Debriefing
If you’re teaching a class that involves memory, debrief by talking about the effectiveness of this game as a memory technique. Were certain names easier to remember than others? Why? Was it the letter? The adjective? A combination?
Additional Name Game Ice Breakers
Introduce Another Person: Divide the class into partners. Have each person talk about himself to the other. You can offer a specific instruction, such as "tell your colleague about your greatest accomplishment. After switching, the participants introduce each other to the class.
What Have You Done That's Unique: Request each person introduce himself by stating something he's done that he thinks no one else in the class has. If someone else has done it, the person has to try again to find something unique!
Find Your Match: Ask each person to write two or three statements on a card, such as an interest, goal or dream vacation. Distribute the cards so each person gets someone else’s. The group has to mingle until each person finds the one who matches their card.
Describe Your Name: When people introduce themselves, ask them to talk about how they got their name (first or last name). Perhaps they were named after someone specific, or maybe their last name means something in an ancestral language.
Fact or Fiction: Ask each person to reveal one true thing and one false when introducing themselves. The participants have to guess which is which.
The Interview: Pair up participants and have one interview the other for a few minutes and then switch. They can ask about interests, hobbies, favorite music, and more. When finished, have each person write three words to describe their partner and reveal them to the group. (example: My partner John is witty, irreverent, and motivated.)

2 | example_34716 | Atlantic City Revels in the Fun of World-Class Resorts | Philly Loves Fun
In a time when new casinos are popping up all over Pennsylvania, Atlantic City really has stepped up its game! The town is leaving nothing to chance as it differentiates itself from the new competitors. This is a win-win for fun-seekers, like us, who crave the whole experience. From entertainment to food, luxury, sand, swimming and games, we want it ALL! Atlantic City heard our plea and they are ready to deliver in a big way.
From the moment we arrived in Atlantic City for our July 4th holiday, we could tell there was definitely something "new and improved" in the air – and on the horizon. It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's Revel Resorts. As we looked up, we spied the magnificent Revel Resorts. We've read the blog previews and checked out their website, but nothing prepared us for what Atlantic City's newest destination had in store.
From the moment we entered the building we could tell this wasn't the same old casino in the same old town. The posh game floor had all of our favorite slots and table games, but it kept it interesting with eye-catching decor, bars, ultra modern lighting, music and restaurants. While I feel other casinos make you walk to the outer edges of the world (or the expansive casino floors), at Revel the restaurants were at your finger tips. Instead of having to walk to the far corners of the property, I was able to jet in an out of 14 restaurants – and easily transition from growing my waistline to shrinking my wallet! Mingled in with the restaurants and games were exquisite concert spaces with perfect acoustics. During our visit there was a concert in the larger space, and the more intimate spaces had visitors moving and groving to a DJ. Truly, there was something for everyone and every music style.
As we left the main game and restaurant level, we found pure relaxation on the roof with a mix of modern and attractive living room settings and outdoor/indoor bars with one-of-a-kind decor and furniture. The highlight of the top level was the outdoor "park" with fireplaces and cool modern lights that gave us the option to relax, chill, party or simply escape.
Throughout the casino, we spied some of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring decor – with unique mixes of texture, colors, sizes and shapes. We found conference room spaces that weren't going to put you to sleep like the lecture you would receive inside their doors. Our favorite was the yellow and red conference 'zones' but the library themed space was also intriguing. Other amenities we need to explore next time are the split-view, split-space pool and the spa. (We had to leave some fun for next time, didn't we!?
When we left Revel, we felt like we had been transported to a "vacation within a vacation." Revel had nearly everything we could need for a weekend of fun – and the best part is that its just a few feet down the boardwalk from our favorite, familiar shops, games, sands and attractions. You can live it up like a rockstar, then walk out front to enjoy the beach, Steel Pier, Duality light show, fries and pizza and some skee ball, of course.
Revel is definitely helping our favorite "road trip" establish itself as a world-class (and "must see") destination. For more about Revel, check out our first photo album below, with more albums to come later in the year. For more about Atlantic City and it's other new attractions, check back in mid-July for more out-of-town fun — including a review of Duality. It rocked our world over July 4th, and it's going to light up your summer!

0 | example_27750 | Twenty healthy Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire three-way crossbred piglets were used for tests. All piglets (provided by Youlike Agriculture and Animal Development Co., Ltd. in Fujian Province, China) were of similar age (six weeks old) and similar physical status (mean body weight 14.96 ± 0.47 kg) and were antimicrobial free. Piglets were divided randomly (piglets were blindly numbered and randomly divided by Excel) into a control (n = 8) group and test (n = 6 × 2) groups [45]. Piglets were housed on a farm and fed a normal diet and water, free of antimicrobials. They were observed for one week before experimental procedures. Euthanasia procedures were performed by the administration of pentobarbital sodium (intravenously) at study end. The test farm was free of H. parasuis infection.

Do you not have problems with the concentric ground wires and copper being different alloys? You did not show the ground splice work.

No, the concentric wires are copper just coated with.... dang it I can't remember. The ground splice is just a simple side by side press connector with anti-oxidation goop in them. Nothing fancy. This area is the desert and is drier than a popcorn fart. Lol
This whole area of the system is getting rebuilt, one street at a time. Now days the concentric wires are covered by a hard plastic protective jacket. So the cable has another layer on it. Conductor, thin semi- conductive layer, insulation, thin semi-conductive layer, concentric wires and then outer jacket.
More protection, but more work to splice. You mention conduit, does the new underground stuff get put in conduit?
Yes, all of our underground gets put in conduit. Helps it last longer and adds another layer of protection just incase someone digs into it. Also we can install all the conduits in the early stages of a subdivision being built. Then pull our cable in when we need to. Also helps with heat distribution, which typically is a non issue. | https://www.palnet.io/adaywithalineman/@mytechtrail/re-jlsplatts-qecve5 | 2020/10/22 13:23:26 | mC4 |

Learn from United By Blue Founder/CEO Brian Linton About the Challenges of Handling eCommerce Growth and Moving Distribution Centers
There's few experiences more frustrating for a customer than receiving an online order that's wrong or late. Knowing this, retailers put a lot of effort and sweat behind making sure that every order is delivered correctly.
Despite their best efforts though, retailers can make mistakes. It's even easier to make those mistakes when you're experiencing rapid growth and trying to catch up your operations.
If you've found yourself in a similar spot, then you'll want to hear all about United By Blue's recent experience with moving distribution centers halfway across the country and how they dealt with its challenges. It's a story that many growing merchants can relate to (and learn from)!
How United By Blue Overcame their Fulfillment Challenges Brought on by Growth
As a frequent buyer of United By Blue (seriously, check out their stuff), I've always been impressed by their mission towards waterway conservation and sustainable outdoor apparel and bags. So when they ran a summer sale, I couldn't pass it up. However, this sale was a little different than others. Even though I received my order without any issues, I did notice I didn't receive any shipping/tracking emails as usual.
Then a few days later, there was email in my inbox from United By Blue Founder/CEO Brian Linton. It explained how UBB recently moved distribution centers from Philadelphia to St. Louis, resulting in order fulfillment that didn't go as smooth as usual for customers. He explained what happened, told you what to expect next, and gave customers a chance to provide feedback about their experience.
Being both a UBB fan and marketer, I reached out to their team after receiving the apology email to get a little more insight into the challenges of moving distribution centers. Check out the interview below with Brian Linton to learn more about how UBB met their fulfillment challenges head on, while always adhering to their brand's mission.
What were the main drivers that led to the decision to move your distribution center from Philadelphia to St. Louis?
We've been fortunate to have a lot of people trust us and buy into this idea of sustainable apparel and waterway conservation. As we've grown over the last few years, we want to make sure we are providing our customers with the best experience possible. We decided that by teaming up with a professional fulfillment center, this would be the best way for us to handle that growth and maintain that high level of experience.
What were your biggest challenges of moving the center from Philadelphia to St. Louis? Were there any that surprised you the most?
Logistically, moving all of our current inventory halfway across the country while maintaining proper inventory required some strategizing. Organizationally and procedurally, we had to make sure those who would be handling and shipping our product were following the checklists and protocols we outlined. Maintaining a superior customer experience is important both for presentation and sustainability. For example, as part of our waste reduction efforts, we remove all polybags pre-shipment to have them properly recycled (as otherwise upon receiving a package, most people throw them out). Clearly, we had some growing pains that we are working extremely hard to rectify.
Did the switch in distribution centers cause any specific software challenges that you had to overcome?
New integrations into the 3PLs software had to be developed in order for the data to flow to and from our sales channels and inventory management software.
You ran a big end-of-season sale and had some fulfillment issues. What did you learn from the experience?
Expect there to be complications and for things to go wrong. You can spend as much time preparing for an influx of orders but until thousands of orders are coming in and packing slips are actually being printed, you can only do so much. Going forward, we will have dedicated staff on site at all times to mitigate future mistakes.
Despite some issues with order fulfillment after the sale, I was very impressed with how you responded to your affected customers. How did you respond to customers?
Our public image (our site experience, emails, social media, waterway cleanups, retail stores, even our packaging and shipping experiences) all work to tell a cohesive brand story that we are proud to stand behind. When this issue arose, we let down our valued customers who trusted us with their money. We know companies make mistakes (sometimes unavoidable ones), but rebuilding that trust and those relationships is of paramount importance. In this digital age, a plain-text letter from me, UBB's founder, was the most straightforward way to own up and apologize for our miscues. We encourage customer feedback. Whether that is in store, via social, or in the form of a handwritten letter, offering our customers a way to provide us with feedback is something we wholeheartedly embrace.
We added a no-strings attached coupon to that email as an additional way of saying thank you and rebuilding that relationship.
Were than any specific software solutions that were helpful through this experience?
The most helpful and important aspect of moving distribution centers is not the software, but the people behind the process. We are fortunate to have a highly skilled team that has been able to address most of our issues head on. And even though there have been hiccups, I believe we are well on our way to operational excellence with our new setup.
What's next for United by Blue? Any exciting future plans you'd like to share?
We're continuing to build out a strong team here in Philadelphia to expand on domestic growth opportunities. Additionally, in the coming weeks we'll be launching a small pop-up shop in France in collaboration with one of Europe's largest outdoor retailers. We're planning to use that to kickstart more of our international expansion.
Key Takeaways from United By Blue
United By Blue's experience isn't uncommon as many merchants face their own similar fulfillment challenges. Here are some key takeaways when it comes to managing growth and fulfillment expansion.
Always Have Staff Ready
It doesn't matter how well you prepare, thousands of orders going through a new distribution center are bound to have hiccups here and there. The only thing going forward that Linton would change is always having dedicated staff available to help with any issues.
Integrate Your eCommerce and Inventory Management Systems
If you're processing thousands of orders, you can't possibly rely on hand-keying order data between your inventory management, 3PL and eCommerce systems. It's important to have integration software that you can trust to automate order processing between those systems. This ensures that orders are processed quickly and correctly without any errors.
What led me to reach out to UBB was their sincere transparency and communication with customers. Mistakes are bound to happen and sometimes you have to own up to them. By doing so, you'll be able to gain customer's trust back.
An underlying message from Linton was that UBB always made decisions with keeping their brand's integrity in mind. You'll notice that in their decision to remove polybags pre-shipment, their simple-text letter from Linton himself to customers, and staff's interaction with frustrated customers. You'll make far better decisions when you let your company's mission guide you.
Based out of Philadelphia, PA, United By Blue is an outdoor lifestyle brand that focuses on sustainable products including apparel, bags, and accessories. Their company is also deeply rooted in waterway conservation, UBB removes one pound of trash from the world's oceans and waterways for every product sold. They currently sell globally in 1000 retail stores, online at unitedbyblue.com , and in their own brick-and-mortar locations in Philadelphia and New York City. | https://www.nchannel.com/blog/united-by-blue-fulfillment-brand-growth/ | 2022/07/02 23:26:57 | mC4 |
0 | example_44049 | Confidential Report, Kerney to Walshe from Leopold H Kerney to Joseph P. Walshe - 26 August 1940 - Documents on IRISH FOREIGN POLICY
No. 277 NAI DFA Secretary's Files A20/4
(M.10/11) (Secret)
Madrid, 26 August 1940
My only justification for not giving you a full and detailed report immediately and for notifying the main facts in veiled language was the desire not to compromise or expose to possibly serious danger a friend (whom I shall refer to as Mr. B.)1 without whose help I would probably have achieved no success, and also out of consideration for Ryan's own chances of getting clear of new friends and old enemies.
Mr. B. now assures me that he fears no danger from Spaniards, is indifferent to any British action and only wishes not to be compromised with his German friends; on the other hand Ryan is in the U.S.A. I can now write more freely, with the knowledge that, if my report were to be read by those for whom it is not intended, no evil could result therefrom, the only risk being that, if it were to fall into German hands, Mr. B. might incur their pleasure.
Mr. B. was in the Spanish Secret Service during the civil war and formed close contacts with the German intelligence service; he is on friendly terms with certain Germans in Madrid;2 being aware of my concern for Ryan and having helped us in many efforts, he suggested some time ago that the Gestapo3 might serve to secure Ryan's liberation. About the middle of May (see my report 23rd May)4 I decided to fall in with this suggestion; I was beginning to doubt the likelihood of my direct petition to the War Office meeting with success; all our other appeals had met with a deaf ear; for some unaccountable reason, Franco himself was the stumbling bloc, and it appeared likely that Ryan's imprisonment would last as long as his own life or that of the regime itself.
Mr. B. spoke to his friends here and told them casually of Ryan's case in which he was taking a professional interest; in other conversations he aroused their interest in Ryan and convinced them that, if he was kept in prison after all Americans and British had been liberated, it was because the British Intelligence Service had been active; he induced them to take up the case; this they agreed to do, laying down the condition that I was to know nothing of their intervention; there has been no communication direct or indirect, between me and the Gestapo, and, as far as latter organisation is concerned, the only information given to me by my professional adviser (Mr. B.) is that Ryan has reached the U.S.A., having succeeded in effecting his escape with the help of American friends. The facts are as follows:
June 11 B's friends were pursuing the matter actively and with continued interest; they were following it up daily with Generals Martinez Campo and Vigón (in charge of the Spanish Secret Service), and would employ direct contact with Franco if present channels failed.
June 27 As there were no developments, I requested B. to press his friends to use 'direct contact' in question.
June 30 I learned that it was General Vigón who had been informed that Franco had a personal interest in Ryan, and it was suggested to me (but this was only a suggestion and nothing more) that there might be some personal bargain with the English at the back of it. The 'direct contact' was about to be resorted to, as the Spanish Secret Service had not succeeded in obtaining satisfaction for their German colleagues.
July 1 The 'direct contact' (a German) saw Franco this day; Franco believed the matter could be arranged and told him to come back in a couple of days.
July 3 Franco was again seen and this time said definitely 'yes'; he was giving instructions to Finat, Chief of Police. (Finat owes his position to Serrano Suñer, whose secretary he formerly was.)
July 4 Finat telephoned Burgos to obtain information ('antecedentes')5 of Ryan's case, for identification purposes, but without success.
July 5 B. saw Finat and showed him a copy of Ryan's sentence, from which he took extracts; Finat said that the only legal way of securing the liberation of Ryan was by means of a pardon ('indulto'); his orders were to hasten the pardon ('activar el indulto'). This meant that he would take up with the War Office, where the ground had already been completely prepared by me, and gave me the hope that the 'indulto' would be notified to me, through regular channels, in due course.
July 9th I learned that Finat had taken the necessary steps with the War Office, and also that he had made the statement that 'it was incredible that Ryan should have been kept prisoner, although English, Canadians and Americans had been released'.
July 12 B. saw Finat and was told that Franco found it impossible for him to sign the 'indulto', but had given orders for Ryan's 'escape' to be officially organised as a solution; he would be put into France and the Director of the Prison would be ordered to report that he had escaped. I saw Ryan the same evening in Burgos as reported at the time.6
July 15 Some hitch seems to have occurred.
July 23 Still no news, but B. had been congratulated by some German friends a couple of days previously on his success; they turned the conversation when they saw he was surprised; B. also told me that there appeared to be an impression amongst his friends that I was 'pro British Empire', and this might account for great caution.
Wed. July 247 Thinking Ryan might have already 'escaped', I sent him a pre-paid wire but got no reply; at 6 p.m. B. got in touch with me and told me that all was arranged; I gave him 1,500 pesetas on account of expenses, as he was carrying out his promise to me to be an eyewitness; he was borrowing a Packard car and petrol alone would cost that amount – 1,000 km using 30 litres per 100 km at 5 pesetas per litre.
Thursday July 25th At 9 a.m. a trunk call from B. reported simply that 'everything had gone off satisfactorily'.
At 2 a.m. on that date B. stopped his car on the roadside a short distance away from the prison. Half an hour later two cars drove past; in the first were Finat's secretary and a German; in the second there were two armed uniformed Falangistas, members of Serrano Suñer's personal bodyguard. About 20 minutes after entering the prison, they emerged with Ryan; this additional passenger was seen to be in one of the two cars as they again passed in front of the stationery car. B.'s larger car then returned to Burgos and, getting ahead of the others, reached Irun about 7.30 a.m.; B. left his car in the town, and proceeded on foot to the international bridge; about 8.30 a.m. the two cars arrived at the bridge, papers were quickly produced and the barrier lifted almost at once, but B. saw Ryan in his car and Ryan gave a quick glance showing he recognised B., but without betraying the fact to those beside him (B. had already seen Ryan on one occasion in prison).
At 3.30 p.m. the same day in San Sebastian B. was handed by his German friend, who had accompanied Ryan in one car, a letter addressed to him by Ryan and headed 'Saint Jean de Luz 25th July 1940'; before the letter was left with B., however, the part showing the place and date was cut away with a scissors; this was a letter of thanks, saying that everything had gone off without a hitch, that he was not returning immediately to Ireland but was going on a journey that would take some weeks; B. suggested to me that his destination might be the U.S.A. via Siberia, and I presumed that there were some grounds for his making the suggestion.8
I heard nothing further until the night of 22nd August when B. told me that Ryan had now reached the U.S.A. and B.'s German friends had agreed to his informing me that Ryan had escaped with American help; they assured him that Finat would give this explanation if he were to be questioned; above all there must be no knowledge of German participation in the 'escape'.
In view of Ryan's letter of 25th July, there is no reason for doubting the truth of the statement that he was in the U.S.A. by 22nd August. Is he there under an assumed name? Does he hold a false passport – British, American or Irish? If he entered the country illegally, will he be deported? Is it possible for him to remain in the U.S.A., even under an assumed name, without the fact becoming known?
Before the Gestapo in Madrid busied itself on Ryan's behalf, they referred the matter to Berlin and got a prompt reply to go ahead; they must have known a good deal about Ryan in Berlin; if certain Irish elements in the U.S.A. or elsewhere had been in contact with Berlin and had been anxious to secure Ryan's liberty instruction would have been given from Berlin in the first place and the initiative would not have been taken in Madrid.
It is worth noting that Franco was unable to give any definite assurance on 1st July; he had, apparently, to consult with somebody else and, as a result of this consultation, he was able to give his consent two days later; I think he may have talked the matter over with his brother-in-law Serrano Suñer, in the interval; then, instead of instructing the Minster for Foreign Affairs, who had so often brought the matter to his notice previously, he instructed the Chief of Police, Serrano Suñer's protégé. It is strange that, whereas on July 5 Finat made it known that his orders were to hasten the conclusion of formalities for the granting of a pardon, by July 12th Franco found himself unable to give his signature to the pardon; what had happened during these seven days? Had Franco at some earlier date given a formal promise, in return for some consideration, never to release Ryan? Did he think on July 3 that the bargain might have been forgotten with the passage of time? Did some other secret service find out, say at the War Office, what was about to take place? Is this why the signature had to be withheld?
It also has to be noted that Franco rejected all Irish appeals in favour of Ryan, even when precedents had been created by the release of others; if he had granted a pardon, Ryan would have remained under Irish control and supervision; he authorised and ordered a very unusual procedure, as a concession to Germany and not as a concession to Ireland; he authorised the placing of this alleged dangerous Communist at Germany's disposal – a gesture which could conceivably have unpleasant consequences for the Irish government, and therefore anything but a friendly gesture towards Ireland.
It is natural enough that relations between the German and Spanish intelligence services should be very close; there are apparently certain services which the Head of the State is ready to render to Germans even if this means exposing himself to reproaches from other friends.
If Frank Ryan is alive and at liberty today, we have no reason to thank the Spanish Government, and the result has been secured in spite of opposition from the highest quarter.

1 | example_8793 | CPGB: The Reformists' Report on the Strike
The Reformists' Report on the Strike
Source: The Communist International, Vol. IV, No. 3, February 28, 1927
THE recent inquest on the General Strike and the Miners' Lock-out has brought out a crop of documentary statements, an examination of which will enable the workers to draw very decisive conclusions. The General Council has issued its supplementary report. The miners have issued their version of the events. The Independent Labour Party has expressed its views in the "New Leader" and "Lansbury's Weekly" has published an article by Cole and endorses it editorially. There is a striking unanimity on many aspects of this great struggle as well as deep and fundamental differences to which it is necessary still to direct attention.
The one outstanding feature of the inquest is the fact that it is an investigation of the leadership of the struggle and not an investigation of the actions of the masses. All and sundry bear tribute to the spirit, the solidarity, the self-sacrifice of the masses. All else within these reports is an examination of the line taken by the leaders. In the examination it is necessary to observe that all the criticism is directed either against the General Council or the miners as trade union bodies and there is not the slightest reference to the parties and sections of the parties involved.
Logic of the Irresponsibles
For example, a large proportion of the General Council and the Miners' Executives are members of the Independent Labour Party and the Lansbury group and practically all of them are members of the Labour Party. Have these no responsibility for what has taken place? If membership of these bodies means that in the greatest crisis in the history of the British working class they have nothing to say, nothing to do, no part to play, of what value are they if it be asserted that these are political parties and not groups we have to ask does not this fact add to their responsibility rather than take from it? We answer yes without reserve and the Communist International and its parties are prepared to be judged on this basis and have unhesitatingly and publicly submitted their conduct to examination.
But it must be observed that the most significant feature of the reports of the General Council and the Miners' Executive is the repudiation of the General Strike as a political event with the greatest political significance. In the midst of the strike they were unanimously denouncing its political significance. The Labour Partys' leading organ said likewise. The I.L.P. headquarters closed down. "Lansbury's Weekly" closed down and the "Left Leadership" with it. All of them fell in behind the General Council and said not a word as to the course the General Council was pursuing.
In order to justify this surrender of responsibility for the action of their adherents, "Lansbury's Weekly" and the "New Leader" now advance the theory that it is necessary to close down under such circumstances, and the miners were wrong in not realising that once they had called on the rest of the unions to strike on their behalf it was indispensable that the entire control of the dispute, even including the right to settle it against the miners' wishes, should pass to the General Council. "When men fight as allies they must accept all the limitations which fighting together involves."
The "New Leader" of January 21st says: "The miners should have realised that when the General Council took command of the united movement it was inevitable that it should have the final word in negotiations." The logic of this means that "the miners should have surrendered to the General Council as a preliminary to surrendering to the Government, that having called upon the trade unions to fight with them and having secured repeated pledges in Congress and in the Council that they would fight with them, they ought to have become party to the policy which refused to fight, repudiated the Scarborough Trades Union Congress, repudiated the declared policy of the whole trade union movement including the Miners' Federation."
"Lansbury's Weekly" goes still further and says: "the miners were wrong in not accepting the responsibility of leadership," meaning in this case that the miners' leaders should have repudiated the men and acted against their wishes. Mr. Bevin of the General Council who believes also that the miners should have pursued this policy in the name of discipline to the General Council has therefore no grounds for complaint against this "outside body." The unity of "Right and Left" is established in this case.
Where were Miners Wrong?
Where were the miners wrong in their dealings with the General Council? In our judgment they were wrong in placing their faith in the General Council, in continuing to believe that the General Council would lead a fight and not promptly exposing the General Council immediately they perceived the tendency to depart from their pledges to resist wages reductions and the lengthening of working hours. By not doing this they helped to create the impression that the General Council would fight and to inspire confidence in the General Council. Had the miners exposed them from the beginning, and they were in a better position to do this than anybody else, Pugh, Thomas, Bevin, MacDonald, etc., would not have been debating now as to what each understood on the memorable April 30th, 1926, when Pugh, Bevin, MacDonald, Thomas and Co. led the Trade Union Conference to a decision in favour of the General Strike.
Both the General Council's report and the miners report use many words on this question. There is not the least doubt in anybody's mind as to what the mass of workers were fighting for. Their decision and their view had been formed by two years of agitation and repeated decisions which were crystallised in the slogans of the miners, and the General Council's apologetics will convince nobody on the matter. They broke, the alliance with the miners in fact and not vice-versa. That is the plain truth of the matter. They did worse. They kept up the appearance of an alliance in order to bring the miners to submission both on wages and hours. This is proven by their own report. On February 26th, they were in favour of the miners' slogans. On March 10th, the Coal Commission Report was issued and then began the change of front—adopting a two-faced policy. Not daring to openly say that the Coal Commission Report should be accepted entirely and that now the miners' demands were out of place, they kept up the appearance of support to the miners and actually began to negotiate reductions and, as I have shown in detail elsewhere (see "The Political Meaning of the Great Strike") presented the Government with a Black Friday before the Strike which it refused to accept because it had a bigger objective in view. They called the Strike, they say, not to support the miners' demands but to re-open negotiations for the purpose of helping the Government to secure what they had already offered before the Strike. The story of the Strike leadership as revealed in these reports is that of the Government wiping the floor with the capitulators and using their panic to browbeat the miners. Those who refuse to fight their real enemies always turn round with ferocity upon those who urge them to be manlike and fight. So the end of their capitulation on May 12th only intensified their anger with their "allies." The report of the General Council then gives the following mournful, story. In June
". . . . the Council, however, were anxious not to prejudice the discussions that were taking place with the Miners' Federation, and hoped that by the time the Report was ready, a basis of settlement might be found. . . ."
After the introduction of the eight-hour law
". . . . the General Council decided to invite the Executive Committee of the Miners' Federation to consult with them in order to ascertain the best means of rendering practical assistance to the Federation in resisting the attempt to lengthen the working day, and to ascertain whether the Council could assist in bringing about negotiations for a settlement of the dispute."
When on October 22 the miners asked for a special conference to decide upon an embargo and levy, the General Council says:
"At this meeting the question was again raised as to whether the Council could take any action to assist to re-open negotiations. . . ."
A special "Mediation Committee" was appointed to "explore the possibilities of settlement." On October 28 the Mediation Committee met the Government to "elucidate further information as to their attitude." On November 5th, it met the miners and from then onwards proceeded to quarrel as to what they were mediating about, disputing with the miners on the point that in discussion with the Government everything must come under view, wages and hours, too. And "Lansbury's Weekly," Bevin and Co., and the I.L.P. have the cheek to call this "entering into an alliance," "fighting as allies." It is, but not with the miners. The General Council "changed horses while crossing the stream," and the I.L.P. and "Lansbury's Weekly" have gone with them. From March 19th, the alliance with the mineowners and the Baldwin Government began to be established and subsequently was established.
Miners and I.L.P. Leaders
Of course, the miners' leaders are not immune from criticism by any means. This report shows all too frequently their efforts to do what "Lansbury's Weekly" says they ought to have done much earlier, i.e., "accepted the responsibility of leadership" (Lansbury version) and sought a settlement in the true spirit of trade union collective bargaining principles. They sought an accommodation with the General Council (a pact of silence) and the postponement of the special conference as a bargain for financial aid, and got stabbed in the back for their pains by Bromley and later by others. They listened to the Bishops, they flirted with the I.L.P. cartel scheme, indeed, they denied the political character of the struggle. But with all their shakiness they have listened to the voice of the masses.
They did not crawl before the Government. They did accept international aid. They did attempt to prepare the workers for the crisis.
We cannot say this of the Independent Labour Party. The I.L.P. Conference prior to the strike ignored the oncoming crisis. There is an unusual amount of tiredness and detachment in the I.L.P. leadership even when the fight was on. Its members on the General Council were permitted to pursue their own course. In general, it waited for something to turn up, refusing all united front proposals made by the Communist Party. Its leader, MacDonald, denounced "unscientific reductions" and schemed for real reductions.
When the General Council began to change its front on the publication of the Coal Commission Report, it was declared by the "New Leader" on March 12th, 1926, that the Labour movement should prepare with courage but "first of all address itself to the good sense and the co-operative conscience of the nation." It did nothing to prepare the movement or its own members for the struggle. Its leaders on the General Council were too cowardly to tell the workers that they believed the miners to be wrong. MacDonald himself supported the strike decision and afterwards when the struggle assumed the form of an isolated struggle of the miners the party leadership especially, refused the united front offer of the Communist Party for the embargo and levy, and its leaders grew more detached. MacDonald went for a trip to the Sahara. He was very tired and the American newspapers would more than pay his expenses.
The Editor of the "New Leader," after boosting certain phases of the Coal Commission Report and succeeding in sending Cook on to the wild cat scheme of "selling cartels," grew more detached. He found it increasingly difficult to write about the miners. On November 12th he wrote "with increasing reluctance I have just laid down a fascinating book about native life in the South Seas. It is time that I wrote my article about the miners. But try as I will, what I see is the blue lagoon and the rustling palm grove." How sad! Bring in the tea, William—and the ladies! The struggle? Leave it to Maxton, our Left leader. So MacDonald got the desert, the editor got dreamy and later got the sack. Perhaps this accounts for Maxton's quandary as 1927 opens with the miners defeated, the government preparations for its offensive on the trade unions and the unemployed, etc., in full swing, for by January 7th, Maxton has got to the following condition: "I had been writhing in mental anguish to find a subject upon which to write this week. Parliament was not sitting, Christmas and New Year topics were exhausted. The subject I had anticipated did not develop as expected. . . Nor have I any desire to hold either the honour or responsibility of leadership." Nevertheless when the inquest takes place the new editor of the "New Leader," Brockway, who is or was prior to his editorship the secretary of the remarkably tired and detached leadership, expressed "the hope that from this moment onwards the Labour movement will be best advised to look forward rather than backwards." In other words, don't review the past for fear you may discover too much about the leadership of the present.
He further declares: "We believe that almost everyone in the Labour movement, if honest with himself, will now admit the first great mistake was the absence of organised preparation for the General Strike." "Lansbury's Weekly" also says: "The General Council did wrong first in making no preparations for the strike." But we would ask why should the General Council have made preparations for the strike if the miners should have capitulated from the beginning, for this is what both the "New Leader" and "Lansbury's Weekly" prove in effect by their subsequent argument, whilst the General Council from May 12th, we are told by their report were already convinced that there should be no fight.
Lansbury Defeatism
"Lansbury's Weekly" says the miners made a mistake in "not making terms sooner than they did although on this point we are bound to admit that all terms offered them were terms more or less of surrender." "Lansbury's Weekly" says that the miners were wrong in not realising "that once the general strike had failed it was (a) impossible to secure an embargo and that (b) consequently the possibility of an out and out victory was very unlikely." This is defeatism of the worst type uttered for the purpose of covering the failures of this group to fight for the embargo on the transport of coal. Here. there is no difference whatever between the position of the General Council's Right, Left, Middle and "Lausbury's Weekly."
In order to carry justification for defeatism still further, the Lansbury group have told us more than once, "that we were wrong in judging the leadership from a revolutionary point of view." Now they outline the case as follows: "The root of the trouble lay in the failure to understand what a general strike involves, in not realising that a general strike was bound to be either a failure or a revolutionary movement designed to overthrow the government, not necessarily by force, but rather in a constitutional manner." It proceeds to say: "The Council was in part composed of people who never had the least faith in the general strike as a weapon and did not hesitate to tell the trade unionists so. Men who hold such views should not have been asked or been allowed to take part in organising or carrying on a general strike."
Here is sophistry with a vengeance. Did "Lansbury's Weekly" ever carry on a campaign for the change of leadership before the strike? No. On the contrary, it conducted a campaign inspiring confidence in the General Council especially its Left leaders. Did it warn the workers of the danger of permitting the strike to be called by men who did not believe in it? No. The General Council was the only possible body to lead the dispute, but it could not lead it "unless it was given full powers to settle as well as conduct the strike."
Common Policy of Surrender
So we are faced with the following situation. On one side the General Council, because of its unreliability, ought not to have been allowed to lead a general strike, which means under existing circumstances there should have been no general strike, i.e., the workers should not have supported the miners and the praise lavished upon their action is humbug. On the other side, the General Council could not lead the strike, not because it was unreliable, but because it had not the power to conduct or to settle the strike. This is contrary to fact. It did not require any more power than it received to call the general strike. It did not require any more power to extend the strike. Nor does the General Council attempt to justify itself for calling off the strike on account of its lack of power.
The confessions reveal that the General Council, the Labour Party, the I.L.P. leadership and its press pursued a common policy of retreat and capitulation in the face of a situation which demanded foresight, courage and daring. They reveal the miners' leaders as unclear as to the political significance of their action as the General Council but more responsive to mass pressure which increasingly came under the ideological influence of the Communist Party and the Minority Movement which alone pursued a clearly defined class war policy.
Outside the ranks of the Communist movement there was throughout the struggle not only a complete lack of preparation, but an organised effort to suppress its political significance and confine it within the limits of an ordinary trade union dispute. The miners attempted the latter no less than the General Council. So long as this is the situation the trade unions will tread the path of defeat. Much more than the transformation of the Miners' Federation into an industrial union is necessary—important as that it. Much more than the return of a Labour government as early as possible is necessary, pleased as we shall be to see it. The value of any demand before the Labour movement, whether it be a demand for a "fighting General Council," "Industrial Unionism," "A Labour Government," etc., depends entirely upon the progress of the working class in the shedding of its illusions as to the character of the class war and the nature of the tasks which lie before it, and the development of the Communist Party into its great leading party. The documents published are an impetus to this direction for they show clearly when placed alongside the record of the Communists that the Communist Party of Great Britain and the Minority Movement were alone in making working class interests govern their policy throughout the struggle. | https://www.marxists.org/archive/murphy-jt/1927/02/28.htm | 2022/01/19 00:52:11 | mC4 |

"What does it say about a man who had done almost twenty years in prison that his writing should be marked by such humanity, compassion, and wisdom? Never pleading for himself or pitching for our pity, Erwin James s account of life inside is fascinating not just for its portrait of a harsh and secret world but because in the author we are introduced to a man of rare self-awareness, strength and intelligence." Ronan Bennett, author of HAVOC, IN ITS THIRD YEAR, long-listed for the Booker Prize"A painful and honest and beautiful account of a life blighted by circumstance and neglect, then wasted in criminality, and then, gloriously, redeemed by the power of the written word and by the capacity of the human heart for compassion and forgiveness . . .

3 | example_24071 | Obama to devote state address to jobs | Fin24
Washington - President Barack Obama will build his annual state of the union address on Tuesday around a push for job creation as the fragile economy, which dogged his first term, threatens to hamper his second.
After a sluggish economic recovery, there are new signs of alarm in the flat economy, after GDP contracted at an annual rate of 0.1% in the last quarter of 2012 and the unemployment rate has ticked up to 7.9%.

Oscar Borras released the video of the serving lesson he gave Rafa because Rafa REFUSED to give him any credit for his dramatically improved serve – 15 mph faster than before – at the 2010 US Open. Borras never asked for any money for the 2.5 hour lesson, and Rafa never offered any. All Borras wanted was for Rafa to publicly acknowledge his help. But instead of publicly thanking him, Rafa publicly trashed him, saying that the “30 minutes I spent with Borras were a complete waste of time.” So classy. So gracious. So humble. NOT!!!

To all his true, loyal fans on this page, he is one class act and great champion with his feet firmly on the ground. and we all wish him well in 2016.

Sprints launches Wi-Fi Calling feature through OTA update
Vishal | February 21, 2014 | 0 Comments
Sprint today launched Wi-Fi calling service feature on Android Smartphones but initially it will be available on Samsung Galaxy Mega and Galaxy S4 Mini only.
This Wi-Fi calling feature will be added to Smartphone through an over-the-air software update that will begin rolling out in next few weeks. The update notification will be pushed automatically to users.
Wi-Fi calling feature allows users to make calls and texting over a Wi-Fi connection instead of using mobile network. Sprint has boasted the benefits of Wi-Fi calling feature as enhanced coverage, easy set up, improved voice quality with unlimited voice calling and messaging service in areas with weak signal or areas where Sprint has no mobile coverage.
Sprint, in the course of time, will add Wi-Fi Calling support to other smartphones but which models are in queue, is not yet specified by the carrier.
Sprint isn't the first carrier in US who is offering Wi-Fi calling feature instead, T-Mobile is offering this feature for free since May-2011 and its customers are enjoying free unlimited call, text and data services over W-Fi connections. | http://telecomvibe.com/sprints-launches-wi-fi-calling-feature-through-ota-update/ | 2018/01/21 06:56:51 | mC4 |

Pros: Excellent ultra-wide zoom, cheap for the optical & physical quality
F4 gives soft images at 10mm
I have the Minolta/Sony (Alpha) mount version of this lens.
Overall performance is excellent, but it is uniformly soft at 10mm F4.
By F5.6 it's very good; another stop down and it is awesomely sharp.
Lens flare is well controlled throughout, especially for an ultrawide zoom.
Ultra-wide lenses often capture scenes with wider dynamic ranges
because light sources and dark shadows are both in the frame,
and a lot of lenses have minor flare issues that give the dark areas mild
color casts in such a case -- this lens seems to keep the full dynamic
range crisp and uncontaminated.

Pros: Amazing range
Not thát sharp
First of all, I really like this lens. It is build like the proverbial tank and the 10mm range is out of this world, it's as wide as you can get at the moment.
Colour rendering is fine, but when the sun is in range you get some nasty flares.
Putting the lenscap on or off with or even without the hood on is a real pain. After almost losing this lenscap at a congress (it's a miracle I even found it back) I bought a genuine Nikon pinch-type cap which is simply wonderfull.
Don't even try to flash with your camera's internal flash unit, because the large diameter (77mm) will for sure cast a shadow.
I believe I got a reasonably good copy, because there are no soft spots, the image is consistent and color rendering is good.
But I cannot help to wonder why so many people rate this lens as "sharp". Because, actually it is not that sharp. Not even at F8. Don't get me wrong, it is acceptable enough and you won't see it on a 10x15cm print. But it's simply not sharp to the pixel (and I only got 6 millions of them). It cannot match e.g. my Nikkor 18-135mm/3.5-5.6 or my very old Nikkor 28-70/3.5-4.5.
Sure, I do enjoy it but I wished it was just a bit sharper. Other than that, it stays on my D100 for about 70% of the time. And if it's not on mine, it certainly is on my girlfriends D40!
Ultra wide angle is addictive... consider yourself warned!

Pros: SHARP, price, build quality
A little flare prone, you should always the lens hood.
This is an amazing lens. About 80% of the photos I have in my "keepers" folder came from this lens. It actually boosted my photography to a new level. It brings out your creativity, with beautiful distortions, even though distortion is not the correct word, the lens is actually distortion free, but the extreme wide angle effect is something that the human eye is not used to, which brings this wow-effect to your photos (by wow I don't mean world of warcraft).
This lens is as solid as lenses get. By the first time you hold it you think, this is a quality lens. I've owned it for almost a year now and it has produced great results. I have actually produced A0 prints with this lens, and the results where amazing!
I might have got a good sample of this lens but I can hardly find any cons for this lens, besides the obvious difficulties with extreme wide angles, like vignetting when using thick filters, difficulty when using Cokin or Lee adaptors, and the occasional photo when you have accidentally put your feet in the frame.

Pros: Very sharp, great focal range, price
None, but obvioulsy others have experienced QC issues.
I've had this lens for about a year now. My first test shots were inconclusive, but once I started using it regularly and became accustomed to it I was very impressed. Stopped down and on a tripod, this lens is extremely sharp. It produces some really stunning auto interiors. I'[ve never used the Canon so I can't compare the two, but I see no reason to go shopping for something else. Here's a link to a coupl of interior shots taken recently (exterior was taken with a Canon 85mm F/1.8 - a GREAT lens). The car was not really prepped properly, so I just grabbed a couple of quick shots:

Pros: Smooth zoom and focus, excellent build, small and light, included lens hood, potentially(!) superior optics
4 of 4 samples were decentered; horrible QC
I want so much to like this lens. I tried four copies in a series, all from Amazon, which has an excellent RMA policy. All of them were decentered.
Decentering on a lens like this means that the center is sharp, the right side (always the right side) is sharp, and the left 1/3 of the frame is soft. The left 1/5 of the frame would be extremely soft. The lens would be weakest at open apertures and 10mm, and acceptable stopped down on the long end. The 18-55 kit lens (not a spectacular optic) had far better edge performance at the same apertures and focal lengths. Center performance on all copies was universally excellent at all apertures, however.
I sent the best copy (mild decentering) back to Sigma to have it serviced. It came back the worst of the lot.
If not for the QC, this lens would be every bit the equal (or superior) of the Canon 10-22 at $180 less. I've seen good copies, I know what it's capable of, I just wasn't able to get one. The HSM focus is almost the equal of the USM on my 100/2. Same soft rolling sound, same speed, and it was exactly accurate at all distances.
The build quality is excellent. I didn't have the 10-20 long enough to comment on the longetivity of the finish, but the focus and zoom rings were very smooth. The general feel is significantly better (and tighter) than my 28-135, but a step down (because it's largely plastic) from my 200/2.8L.
The upshot is this: If you're willing to jump through these hoops to find yourself a copy with all the elements in proper alignment, it's a stellar optic, and even better than the Canon. But if you value your time at all, just buy the 10-22.

Pros: After reading many excellent reviews of this lens, I decided to get it as my main ultra-wide landscape lens. I'm so disappointed with this lens. On the positive side, its well made, feels high quality. Apart from that, not much positive I can say about the one I've got.
The results I've got so far with this lens have been terrible. The colour is awful - this lens gives a very noticeable yellowish cast to the colour, which I have heard others complain about Sigma lenses having this characteristic. Of course there is distortion with this lens, thats inevitable really. But what really bothers me is how soft the results are with this lens, especially (but not only) on the right hand side. Perhaps I just got a poor copy, because many people say this lens is sharp. I am not happy and will be returning it to Sigma for testing and possible adjustment/ replacement.
I was really looking forward to getting this lens, but now I wish I had spent more and got the Canon instead. This lens has fallen far far short of my expectations, especially after reading so many good reviews of it. The lens feels and looks quality. It's solid, very well made, and surprisingly heavy.
BUT, and its a huge but,...the results I've got with it are WAY short of what I expected. To be fair its quite good at some settings, and the sharpness at the centre is good. The edges are really, really soft. The yellowish colour this lens gives really annoys me. It doesn't accurately reproduce colours. I prefer a more neutral lens. I'm beginning to think I was just unlucky and got a rubbish copy, but if thats the case, then Sigmas QC department must be incredibly slack. I'll try another copy and hopefully get a better one, but it will have to be something special to persuade me to buy a Sigma lens again.
It has it's good points, but at the end of the day it comes down to image quality for me, which is why I give it a poor overall rating.

Pros: Very wide, good sharpness, quiet, very well built. The first one i had was very soft all over. Sent it back and the second one is much better.
some distortion wide open, but what do I expect?
This is a fun lens to play with. Has a very wide angle of view wide open. I wish the first one had been good out of the box, but the second one was.
Pros: Good overall sharpness for an ultra wide angle Fast focus Great value for money
Non-uniform distortion at max wide; hard to correct in PS
I've had this lens for over a year now and it's an absolute joy to use. I love to go wide and so far this lens hasn't let me down. I was seriously considering the 12-24mm Nikon, but at nearly twice the cost and offering 2mm less on the wide end (which makes a significant difference at this focal length), I decided to go Sigma.
The focus is fast and the corner to corner sharpness is pretty good for an ultra-wide angle lens. If I had to find a fault, it would be the non-uniform distortion at 10mm. Instead of the usual barrel shape, the distortion forms a slight "m" shape, which proves difficult to correct in PhotoShop. However, unless I'm shooting flat horizons or other straight lines, this distortion rarely shows.
Being an EX lens, it has the usual sparkly matte finish (which you either hate or don't). So far, no problems with the finish flaking off.
I would definitely recommend this lens.

Pros: Build quality-Sharp-Sharp-Sharp.
F2.8 would have been really nice.
I have been looking for a wide angle for some time.I purchased this from ebay UK from a photographer who was forced to sell his kit and ascertained before bidding that it was a good example.Quite simply-I love it.It is brilliant in town at night.It is brilliant with architecture.It is brilliant with landscape and it is brilliant indoors.By the way-did I mention that it is brilliant!
Having read the reviews on FM I was clear in my mind that this was the lens for me.It sems that all the negatives surround QC issues and that if you can get a good one then it is almost perfect. It is very sharp throughout the range with a little softness creeping in at 20mm which is hardly a problem.For sure adjusting a polariser is fiddly with the lens hood on but that is true with most lens hoods.Build quality feels really solid and the lens has a quality look to it.Image quality is right up there with L glass.
If you can get a good copy then buying this lens becomes a no brainer.

Pros: Build Quality, AF, Quiet, Super Wide, SHARP!
Taking off the lens cap with the lens hood attatched (Fixed by buying a pinch lens cap), Soft at 20mm.
I was deciding between this lens, and the Sigma 18-200 OS lens, but I am glad that I got the 10-20, and this is why.
If you want to shoot wide, have a crop body, have $500 or so laying around, and are in need of a high quality, super sharp lens, and don't want to pay for the Canon EF-S 10-22, this lens is your perfect match.
I tested the sharpness of the lens at 10mm at 100% crop, this thing is sharper than the 50mm 1.8 prime, however it isn't that sharp at 20mm.
As for CA, I didnt see any, but the IQ of the lens makes it truly worthy of spending $500 on.
Get this lens, you wont regret it!

Pros: Reasonably sharp, well built, nice finish, WIDE. CA well controlled.
AF needs calibration on my copy, lens cover not easy to remove with lens hood attached.
Had a lot of difficulties deciding which wide zoom to buy - and ended up with this one bought out of Hong Kong on Ebay. Had to pay taxes and customs so I didn't save anything.
I knew that QC is substandard on this lens so I was not surprised that it didn't focus corrctly at long distances. This is not a huge problem as I can focus manually. I think I will get it calibrated though.
Colors are OK and the distortions is easily corrected in PTLens. It's a whole lot of fun to play with and I am sure that I will be using it a great deal in the future

Pros: Wide, sharp, good color, IQ as good as the canon 10-22, build
lens had to go back to sigma for calibration due to soft left hand side, slow at f/4
I've had this lens for a year and a half and shot probably thousands of pictures with it. For a 1.6x crop sensor, you don't have a lot of choice...it's this or the canon. IQ is as good as the Canon, though obviously limited by the distortion you get on a 10mm lens.
The canon has moderately better autofocus and probably build, BUT autofocus is almost pointless on this lens. At 10mm and f/8, your hyperfocal distance is just over 2 feet so the A/F becomes kind of redundant. You're never waiting for it to focus, trust me.
The only reason to avoid this one is if you plan to switch to a full frame camera in the near future... | http://www.fredmiranda.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=298&cpage=4&perpage=16&cat=37 | 2017/12/14 13:21:39 | mC4 |

It also occurred to me that the more people streaming in a league, the less effective streaming is for everyone. If the best one start is getting streamed off the waiver wire each day, that's probably a pretty good start. But by the time the best five or six starts are streamed each day, well, they get worse and worse each time. Making yourself the seventh might not be a wise move, even if you need the counting stats. One league worth of data isn't enough to prove the conventional wisdom about streaming true or false, but it's got me thinking that how the strategy is executed is a lot more important than whether or not you employ the strategy in the first place. What do you think? Are you a streamer and killing your league's pitching categories? Are you streaming and you're the one who's getting killed? Add a comment and tell us how it's been for your league. If you do, make sure to include your league format, so we know whether or not we can safely copy you.

1 | example_89259 | "Rudomain": The state ecology inspenction hasn't fixed any significant violations in the work of the company. – Rudomain
The specialists of the State ecology inspection during the check of "Rudomain" company fixed minor violations, which don't have serious impact on the environment and will be eliminated in the near future. Company thinks it is necessary to give explanation of these facts.
The State ecology inspection fixed: Failure to comply with the conditions of the EIA conclusion with the regard of blasting operations at a minimum speed.
Rudomain: This is about consideration of the wind rose during explosions. It has nothing to do with seismic and sound impact or the power of the blast. But company implements necessary measurements during explosions. In no way this issue is not a damage assessment, which can be caused by the blasts.
The State ecology inspection fixed: Inconsistency in sanitary-epidemiological service conclusions about justification of the sanitary protection zone size for the station #2 to the "South" quarry due to factual condition of the company on productivity indicators of the quarry. Failure to provide rigorous disclosure considering all kinds of pollutant emissions, including dust, during massive explosions, in the process of preparing the report on the EIA. The materials of inventory of pollute emissions and the permission for the air emissions do not meet the factual condition.
Rudomain: The listed facts, which The State ecology inspection paid their attention to, address to discrepancies, that arose when applying criteria of the operating quarry to the station, where there is no active ore mining yet.
The State ecology inspection fixed: The failure to implement measures to decrease pollutant emissions, including those ones which were provided for by city ecology program.
Rudomain: This is about recommendation to use special binders on technological roads of the quarry. The company has already ordered scientific work, in which the effective dust-suppression methods on the automobile roads of the quarry will be provided.
The State ecology inspection fixed: Failure to provide the documents of the object in order to be entered in the state accounting, which causes or may cause harmful effects on human health and air-quality.
Rudomain: This violation arose because of bureaucratic requirements while regular submission of statistical data about the activity of the company. Let's highlight that this comment doesn't concern productive activities.
The State ecology inspection fixed: Failure to provide reliable information while preparing the report about EIA in the part of using rate, that take into account the moisture of the material.
Rudomain: EIA shows average amount of the moisture rate. But moisture is constantly changing, and this is confirmed by the certificates of accredited laboratory. That's why sometimes there are differences between actual figures and those, that are mentioned in EIA. After presentation of requirements about elimination of identified violations by the State ecology inspection, the "Rudomain" company will surely complete it. "Rudomain" pays attention to the fact that on those stations, where ore mining happens, violations have not been identified" – commented the general director of the company Vladimir Kolos. | https://rudomain.com.ua/rudomain-the-state-ecology-inspenction-hasnt-fixed-any-significant-violations-in-the-work-of-the-company/ | 2022/05/20 20:25:46 | mC4 |
1 | example_18681 | What They Said (June 18, 2015) ... | Letters To The Editor | Memphis News and Events | Memphis Flyer
About Randy Haspel's column announcing his candidacy for the GOP nomination, "Ask Not" ...
Politics is nice, Haspel, but we need to bring back the Sunday church crowds. A mandatory .50-caliber machine gun in every pulpit! A 144-inch plasma screen direct link to NFL in place of the Baptist baptismal. Actual crucifixions in place of crucifixes! I'd go for that.
We're inching ever closer to the Haspel/Jindal dream ticket our little group has been discussing at Smitty's psilocybin-fueled rap sessions.
About Toby Sells' story, "MLGW's Smart Meter Program to Get Vote" ...
Why do they want to buy a million meters if they state they have 421,000 customers?
This must have been a decision made by the "smart meter team."
Deborah, it's the Costco effect.
Egads! I have a "weaponized weapon" on the back of my house, right outside my daughter's room? What was I thinking?
Oh yeah, I want to be able to better monitor my electric usage and make changes in our habits that result in less demand to burn fossil fuels — and lower my contribution to climate change. Silly me.
I think Wendi missed the whole root of the problem she's trying to solve. The biggest problem is the destruction of the family unit. I would be interested to see a study on youth crime, the types of crime, and the severity of the crime. Also add in youth education outcomes.
Then compare those to the family structure of the child. Is it a single parent household? Is the child being raised by a grandparent? How many children are in the household? I'd be willing to bet you see some positive correlations between the household structure and positive outcomes for the child.
I believe the single most important issue is that of the family. One of the primary reasons gangs exist is because youth don't have male role models around, so they turn to older male youths who organize in a Lord of the Flies manner and show some form of love and structure.
Please, Wendi, do an article on the topic of family structure and influence, and what can be done to change the culture that's essentially eschewed the classic family structure.
Reb, how about making sure that those males have jobs that will allow them to provide for their families and keep those units together?
Great example of an external locus of control. The belief that all the ills of the community are related to outside factors — white people, the police, the laws on the books, etc. Until the community grapples with the problem that many of these issues are internal, no change will be accomplished.
Nice how TDOT lied about consulting with Crittenden County, the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department, and residents in West Memphis that will be greatly affected by the stupid traffic circle that will be a massive cluster flock.
Knoxville went through something similar a few years ago: SmartFix40. They shut down I-40 in downtown Knoxville to speed up the construction schedule. It worked. In fact, the construction company finished early to get a bonus. The sky is not falling.
A roundabout is designed to take the place of a four-way-stop intersection, eliminating the need to turn through oncoming traffic. In this location, a roundabout would create more of a traffic jam than the current cloverleaf ramp system, where you do not have to cross against oncoming traffic. This is the most idiotic idea I have ever heard.

4 | example_47511 | - The recent abrupt halt to the review of the Ontario Power AuthorityÂ’s (OPA) long-range electricity supply plan by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) gives cause for concern. There is a disconnect between the decision-making process and the decision that is required.
In 2004, the government decided that long-range investment in electricity supply and conservation required an integrated plan to ensure coordinated development of reliable and sustainable electricity service. Such central planning had been abandoned by legislation passed in 1998 which dismantled a century-old monopoly structure through the introduction of competition and customer choice in the electricity sector.
While the monopoly structure provided impeccable service, it suffered from being inflexible and while the competitive structure was infinitely flexible, it suffered from inadequate investment and therefore declining reliability. The 2004 innovation was a hybrid structure which re-introduced central planning to establish long-range direction while leaving shorter term operational decisions to competitive forces. It promises to deliver the balance needed in ensuring this essential service is managed in a prudent and sustainable fashion.
But the midstream halt of the review process indicates that we have more work to do on how we ensure that the long-range plan is prudent and responsive to what customers and society at large wants. The arrangement, at the moment, involves checks and balances set up in law between two public-purpose agencies. One, the OPA, is required to prepare the plan and the other, the OEB, to review it for compliance with government policy and economic prudence.
The arrangement made use of the existing regulatory structure employed by many regulatory agencies throughout Canada in overseeing such things as electricity and natural gas rates. It is an arrangement designed to ensure that complex decisions about essential public services are made transparently and objectively — that is, without political involvement.
But planning and reviewing in an open and transparent fashion can be a time-consuming process — in this case some 30 months. OPA took a little over 12 months to prepare the plan and the OEB was expected to take about 18 months for its review.
The process was stopped about six months before the end of its inaugural run by the government issuing a legally binding directive to the OPA to reconsider certain planning aspects due to changed circumstances since planning was initiated. There is no faulting the logic that conditions had changed, but what is clearly faulty is the approval process. Prescribed by government in the first place, it has proved to be too lengthy for the pace of modern life as well as the patience of the public and its government.
Why are regulatory processes so long and how can they be shortened while at the same time meeting the review objectives? In the case of OntarioÂ’s electricity plan, one has to question how much scrutiny is enough.
In preparing the plan, the OPA interacted with well over 2,500 individuals and organizations through face-to-face meetings, seminars, workshops, conference calls and internet-based discussions. Seventy-seven individuals and organizations registered officially as intervenors in the OEB review process, most if not all of whom had already participated in as many of the OPAÂ’s sessions as they wished.
The volume of opinion and input can be gauged by the forest of paper involved. The OPA filed 7,500 pages of evidence with the OEB, half of which documented the plan, with the balance being the submissions of stakeholders and explanations of how their input had been addressed. A further 6,000 pages of questions and answers were then generated by stakeholders and the OPA during the run-up to the start of the hearing. A further 8,000 pages of transcripts would likely have resulted had the hearing run to completion.
Clearly it may be time to reconsider the cost-benefit balance as reflected in the duration-transparency balance. How much transparency is enough? Does the 80-20 rule apply here — 80% of the benefit can be had for the first 20% of the effort? What are the alternatives for improvement?
Many have questioned the need for one public-purpose body to examine the work of another which basically says “skip the formal regulatory review.” Others have questioned the effectiveness of the court-like approach which is at the heart of a formal regulatory review. Law court processes were developed originally to deal with important, but nonetheless simple, yes-no decisions and they become decreasingly effective as the decisions required become more complex and nuanced. They also become decreasingly effective as the number of parties arguing the case increases.
Another potential improvement to regulatory processes pointed out by many is to tighten up the practice of paying fees to intervenors since such fees create a perverse incentive to prolong the proceeding and attract what amount to professional intervenors. The OEB pays intervenor costs to ensure inclusivity. In contrast the National Energy Board does not and has been criticized by consumer groups as a result.
A middle of the road approach has been adopted by the BC Utilities Commission which pays costs only to those with no other reasonable source of income and who have a substantial interest in a substantial matter. This practice normally results in customers of the service being regulated being the only recipients of intervenor funding.
At stake here is ensuring that electricity customers are provided with service which is reliable, sustainable and affordable, in other words, ensuring that the official plan is in the public interest. This boils down to approval either by elected representatives or a public agency using a process which is transparent and objective. If we canÂ’t find a better balance between transparency and speed than our present regulatory processes provide, we will be stuck with government as the approver. And that wonÂ’t guarantee either transparency or objectivity, let alone speed.

The Delhi Metro structures in the capital have thus been designed in such a manner that they can withstand earthquake forces likely to occur in Zone 4 of the seismic zones identified in India. Zone 4 is called the High Damage Risk Zone and covers areas of the Indo-Gangetic basin and the capital of the country (Delhi), Jammu and Bihar. This zone is prone for earthquakes of Richter scale 7 to 7.5. This implies that the Delhi Metro structures can withstand earthquake tremors of 7.5 Richter magnitude. The design of the structures of the Delhi Metro posed a number of engineering challenges for the Metro Engineers especially in the underground sections as there were no Indian codes available for designing underground civil structures to withstand earthquakes. The DMRC, therefore, had to follow the British Standard codes and European codes and literatures for elevated and underground structures. The DMRC has adopted additional measures to avoid any disaster in the underground section. An earthquake sensor has been installed at Patel Chowk underground Metro Station of Line-2 (Jahangirpuri – HUDA City Centre) to measure tremors. Earth Quake sensor installed at Patel Chowk Metro station
This sensor sounds an alarm whenever there's any vibration of specified magnitude set as trigger value inside the surface which has been designed for alerting the Metro staff and Operation Control Centre (OCC) of the DMRC. This sound alarm is generated automatically whenever it measures vibrations equivalent to 5 Richter or more which becomes an advance warning system for all Metro Train Operators.

1 | example_97086 | A New Year… when many of us vow to shed those few extra pounds we so typically and enthusiastically add on during the holiday season. It’s the time of year we push ourselves to get more motivated, get in better shape, and get moving. Movement is key… it’s one of the most important things we can do to maintain a positive mindset and healthy lifestyle.
An object at rest tends to stay at rest; and something that ceases to move rapidly deteriorates. You don’t need me to tell you that movement, or better yet exercise, is as important to our well being as eating and breathing. We are constantly bombarded with weight loss ads, exercise videos, and offers of gym memberships. In our hearts we know that regular physical exercise improves overall conditioning. It strengthens our bodies, energizes our minds, releases oxygen to our tissues and organs, builds density in our bones, and most important for me… elevates my mood.
I discovered in my early 30’s that I suffered from seasonal affected disorder (SAD). My mood changes radically with the seasons. As the long New England winters lingered on I would find myself in a type of “funk”. The best cure for what ailed me is exercise and sunshine. Exercise is an elixir for life. It’s good for everything… our hearts, our minds, our stamina, our sense of self, even our sleep.
Personally, I need to do some combination of stretching, walking and strength training almost every day. If I don’t move my body it stiffens up, my back starts to ache, my mood sours… and I get cranky! Fortunately I have enjoyed the discipline of a weekly weight lifting routine for over 33 years. Strength training is an ingrained physical habit that has resulted in pretty decent muscle tone for this 60 year old guy. What is relatively new to my routine is yoga. Three years ago I engaged a yoga instructor to teach me how to breathe. Yes… I intuitively knew that deep and mindful breathing would help me reduce the stress and anxiety that was dominating my life during the global financial crisis. What I didn’t anticipate was how powerfully positive the yoga stretching poses would have on my overall well being. I am now more flexible, my balance has improved markedly, my posture is straighter, and my core is stronger. My body and my mind feel good. Simply put… “Life is better with movement.” Movement is an obvious “Secret of Life”.
What’s important is to find one’s own personal passion for movement. It can take many different forms… walking, swimming, biking, gardening, skiing, yoga, tennis, weight training, competitive sports, dancing. I love moving my body to music. Music motivates me to dance, to shake my body and stretch… even jump up and down.
Being married to a woman who is in perpetual motion is an intense motivator. My sweetheart Susan is like a “whirling dervish”. She jumps out of bed in the morning, embraces the day, and keeps on moving. It is amazing to watch. This constant motion is her nature, but it sure keeps her in fantastic physical condition as a result. Susan is a true inspiration for the positive effects of movement.
Make it an important priority to find your personal movement passion and even better, a friend or partner that inspires you to consistently practice this valuable “Secret of Life.” Your mindset will change, your body will energize, and life will become happier and healthier.
This is more than just a New Year’s resolution; it’s an attitude towards life. So, have fun and keep on movin’!

A Type 2 Oral Medication That Doesn't Attack Your Muscles?

Does anyone out there know of a type 2 oral medication that does not effect your muscles? I can't walk, run, squat, hell I can't even lift myself out of the bathtub! There is no strength in my legs.
I've tried three different meds so far and if one is good controlling the sugar, it saps the muscle strength. If it doesn't zap the muscles then it does a poor job of controlling the sugar.
I love to walk but I cannot go three blocks without having to stop because it feels like someone is wringing out my muscles! And I'm putting on weight which as we all know is a detriment to anyone's health!

Do you take CoQ10? When taking statins I found out that you need to take this supplement. Statins deplete CoQ10 in your system. When I first took Lipitor my doctor didn't have me take the supplement and I couldn't take it because my legs ached, but then went on Niacin and found out that some forms of Niacin actually increase your blood sugars. Then got put on Simvastin (Zocor) and was told to take CoQ10 for 1 month and then start my statin and I have not had any problems with muscle aches or strength. Never felt weak from type 2 meds.
Been on Avandia, Avandamed, and now on Metformin and Glipizide.

I know that I have had the same problem. I take Actos, glimipride, and Fortemet. The Fortemet replaced the Metformin as that gave me diarrhea. I have also noticed weakness in my legs, but never related it to the medication. I will be doing some research and let you know what I find out.

If you take Avandia DON'T keep taking it, the side effects are not fully disclosed
if you have a family history of heart problems don't take this medicine, it will cause congestive heart failure. I didn't have a heart problem until I took this medication, since taking medication have had to have valve replaced in my heart from damage. Don't learn the hard way like did.

Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with Diabetes in May of this year and I take metformin twice a day. I feel gassy and I am worried that I may have an accident while I am out and about in public. It feels like I have diarrhea and it sneaks up on me, the feeling and sometimes there's no warning. Also my back is sore worse than my arthritis. Any ideas on getting some relief for my stomach and achiness I am experiencing? Will more fiber help? Thank you for any suggestions.

I found metformin zapped my strength down to ZERO. It does cause acidosis…I also had a major problem with diarrhea——I couldn't leave the house==even if I could get up—I was tooo weak. I stopped the metformin—the next day, my diarrhea stopped and my strength improved…I have had numerous people tell me the same story..Getting off the metformin helped them, too…try another diabetic drug…there are many of them out there…talk with your doctor…metformin doesn't work for everyone!!!!

I have been on Metformin for over a year and a half now and not experienced that situation. Now you do make me wonder if my falls are tied to this situation though. I don't fall often but do fall for no reason. Overall though I have to say that my strength has improved. I had been in an accident and had been where I could not walk from my car in the parking lot to the store without being in agony and had to use the cart as a walker. I swim and do simple exercises in the pool such as leg lifts etc. and have built my core and found amazing results in strength. Still not close to 100% but a year ago I could not get off the bed without issues. If you have access to a YMCA or other therapeutic type of pool with aerobic water exercises I would suggest you try it. I am lucky and my city offers one if you have a doctor's signature…as a resident it is $5 a year.
I wish you luck, I still have struggles and have had to crack back down on myself because no exercise means sugar goes up on me so I can imagine you having a hard time controlling your BS. Diet alone with meds just does not cut it…you have to do something in the exercise field no matter how much we hate it.
Good luck joiseygirl…you are NOT alone out here…stay with this site and you will have so much support I cannot tell you. The people here are warm, friendly and knowledgeable. PS try the recipes too…life can be good even as a diabetic :)

I was taking Simvastatin for years until a message came in an Email. I talked to my PCP and told her what it said she took ke off right away. I had severe pains in the muscles of my right leg. She then put me on Niacin. Major side affects. Took over a month to get it out of my system. It has taken me almost 6 months to get the pain out so I could go to Church and be able to sit through it. Thank you people for all the information. Especially the recipes. Yum.

Simvastatin isnt actually a diabetic medicine its a statin which helps is good and i understand it is regularly given to diabetics : side effects abdominal pain, diarrhea, indigestion, and a general feeling of weakness. Rare side effects include joint pain, memory loss, and muscle cramps.[7] Cholestatic hepatitis, hepatic cirrhosis, rhabdomyolysis and myositis have been reported in patients receiving the drug chronically - i sometimes feel more at threat from the so called cures!!

My mom had similar reactions to her statin drugs. It is crummy because both of us have good cholesterol levels. I know they want them lower for us now that we are diabetic, but man, the way those drugs mess us up, it is just not worth it.
I do take niacin now. An OTC 250 extended release and I don't have the problems of pain or flushing. It might be keeping my levels a little higher, but they don't shoot out of the park so I will make that trade off.

Are you taking a statin drug? Often we are put on meds to help combat cholesterol and triglycerides. I was using a mild statin and noticed that I was always achy. I ran out for a few weeks, and when I was off it, I felt so much better. So look into that. Otherwise, like KD mentioned, I have not heard of the diabetic meds causing muscle issues.

I wondered about the statin as well but the comment "if one is good controlling the sugar, it saps the muscle strength. If it doesn't zap the muscles then it does a poor job of controlling the sugar." suggested that it wasn't a constant and changed with changing diabetic medications.
Possibly they were not told much about the medications prescribed and could be assuming that all the meds they take are diabetic when some may be statins, ARBS, ACE inhibitors, etc.

True, because I was given a blood pressure med and a cholesterol med in the beginning and just told that diabetics need to take these. It was not until I researched them that I found out what they were for.

I have Osteoarthritis so I have use Naproxsin or Aleve gel caps. There's nothing else out there for OA. Try to aleviate the inflammation best I can. It's very painful to say the least. I have had right knee replaced almost 4 yrs ago and will have to have the left one done in 2011 for sure. Just had another cortisone shot 2 weeks ago and am not having the results I got from the 1st one a year 1/2 ago. I also am facing back surgery for spinal stenosis which happened out of the blue a month ago. That was real weird but came about from some injuries to my lumbar spine years ago! I will feel so much better when that's over. I go to the neurosurgeon tomorrow to find out surgery date. I am using percocet for this problem but only take 1/2 a pill as needed vs. the dose of 1-2 tabs every 4 hours as needed. I got 60 pills a month ago and still have 1/2 them left. Alternating ice and heating pad which always helps. I have no problems now with the Metformin, I take 1ooo mg 2x daily, one in morning and one at night.

EXCLUSIVE: Dubai to procure metro extension package as PPP
03 October, 2017 | By Jennifer Aguinaldo
Dubai Metro Green Line extension expected to boost Dubai Creek Harbour development
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) expects to procure the 11 stations of the planned Dubai Metro Green Line extension on a public-private partnership (PPP) basis.
According to sources familiar with the project, a tender for the scheme's design consultancy contract is expected to be issued in early 2018.
The extension will be 20.6km and will take the Green line from its existing terminus at Creek station in the Jadaf area, across the Creek to the Dubai Creek Harbour development and then onto Academic City.
Prior to this development, the extension of the line was expected to be procured using conventional method, with a tender for project management expected to be released in June this year.
The release of the tender, however, has been delayed.
The rail link will be a boost for Dubai Creek Harbour, which is being developed by local developers Dubai Holding and Emaar Properties. The 6 square-kilometre development will have a large shopping mall and The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour, which when completed is expected to be the world's tallest man-made structure.
The Green line extension is just one future line that the RTA is considering. At the end of last year it awarded the UK's Atkins a consultancy contract to update and modify the RTA's proposed future metro lines and other public transport networks such as the tram.
The transport agency's previous 2030 masterplan includes a 421-kilometre-long railway network with 197 stations.
Dubai is already working on a 15km long extension to the Red line. Last year the RTA awarded a AED10.6bn ($2.9bn) contract to design and build the Dubai Metro's Route 2020 link to a consortium of Spain's Acciona, Turkey's Gulermak and France's Alstom. | https://meedmashreqindustryinsight.com/exclusive-dubai-procure-metro-extension-package-ppp/ | 2021/04/21 05:14:12 | mC4 |
3 | example_62467 | The Grenada National Stadium is one of three statutory bodies and/or state-owned enterprises, whose status is classified as unclear, according to the financial summary of statutory bodies which was tabled in the Parliament, as part of the budget presentation.
The other ‘unclear status’ statutory bodies are the Grenada Postal Corporation (GPC), and the Grenada Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC), whose name was recently changed to the Grenada Investment Development Corporation.
A Ministry of Finance official explained that an ‘Unclear Status’ was used to describe the 3 bodies because Government is still working on the “legislation responsibility” for these bodies to Government in terms of paying dividends.
Though their statuses are described as ‘unclear’ on page 126 of the budget statement, two earned more revenue than they had in expenditure for the period January to September 2016. The National Stadium revenue was $1,074,794.47 — while its expenditure was $866,927.33. The GIDC had revenue of $3,991,632.79 and an expenditure of $3,239,632.02. Having more expenditure than revenue for the period was TAMCC, which had $13,355,270.55 in revenue and an expenditure of $13,373,978.55.
Besides the 3 ‘unclear statuses,’ the summary said that in total there are 21 additional statutory and or state-owned enterprises — 9 of which are classified as non-commercial bodies; 5 were loss-making commercial bodies, and 7 were profit-making commercial bodies.

Around the world people are clamoring for their leaders to take responsibility for their words and their actions. From the United States to Italy traditional governance is giving way to a more radical approach as people remove those who want to continue with business as usual.
Take the high-handed approach that our government in St George’s is taking to deal with a foreign investor even as they call for other foreign investors to throw their money into the national economy to “create jobs” and rig prosperity to the people of this island nation.
Statements such as “too little too late” in response to the announcement from the management of Rex to spend $12M to upgrade the hotel cannot be a responsible approach to development or the efforts of a “foreign investor.”
The statement suggests arrogance and a “don’t care attitude” to those we are trying to woo to our shores to set up shop. It also sets precedence that should be concerning to other investors that their investments are not safe since one government can use their parliamentary majority to reverse the decisions of former administrations, exactly what is happening in Washington as we speak.
The bully pulpit that Parliament has become, should concern all Grenadians. The issue is not whether there are public officials who are dissatisfied with the performance of the hotel. There is always room for improvements but the public threats and intimidation rather than a responsible, adult and business-like approach sends the message of a hostile investment atmosphere. Investors who come to a country want to do so without the possibility of having to face hostility from the citizens, much less from the powers that be.
Today it’s the Rex, tomorrow it will be some other entity that the government wants to give to a friend.
And coming from a minister who, until elections in 2013, was a significant part of a business establishment, is even more alarming. It means that the attitudes that employees and customers of that company were complaining about have now taken on national dimensions.
In its response to the minister’s comments, the Rex Resort indicated that it had communicated to the Grenada Government, in detail, ‘a US$12 million property enhancement plan on which we are prepared to commence immediately — further demonstrating our commitment to this property and the people of Grenada.
Is a US$12M investment in any sector in Grenada “too little too late,” when our nutmeg farmers are unable to get a bonus? This childish response comes at a time when the government is struggling to pay public officers and when our economy continues to balance on the brink.
Can that statement be true when the steps of our healthcare are unsure and shaky. Why repeal the agreement and replace it when it can be repaired? Rex was the first international hotel to open doors in Grenada following the 1983 Invasion/Intervention — the most difficult period in our history — and has served the country well over the years. At least, Mr Minister, let the Grenadian virtues of appreciation and gratitude inform both the tone and nature of your comments.
It is worthy of note that there are other hotel properties where the service is significantly under par and have been the subject of regular visitor complaints, but they remain in play because they have friends in high places.
Even as Grenada tries to benefit from the Citizens By Investment (CBI) programme, government officials must know that what is said around the table with a government minister does not always match what is said when two investors knock glasses together at their favourite drinking spot. | OSCAR-2019 |

0 | example_36177 | Armorama :: Tankograd Publishing Leopard MBT in German Army Service - Late Years Review
As the title suggests this book covers the service history, and development, of the Leopard 1 in the German Army. This is mainly achieved through the use of photographs, but there is a brief written history and a section on the modifications that the Leopard underwent during its career. At the back of the publication there are also several 1/35th scale drawings of the various versions of the Leopard. There are five side views, all of the left hand side, four overhead views and four views of the front and rear.
The book is split into sections, each one dealing with a particular upgrade of the Leopard. We start off with the first upgrade to the Leopard program, the A1A1. This was the only upgrade in the mid to late 70's it was not until the 80's that the leopard started to be upgraded on a frequent basis. The second section covers the upgrades carried out throughout the 80's. These included the addition of various night sites, including the PZB were fitted as well as newer and more powerful radios. Smaller modifications are also discussed and explanations given as to why they were introduced and when they were introduced.
There is some discussion as to the actual camouflage colours used, or more correctly when they were introduced. Early Leopards were only painted in NATO Green, but there is photographic evidence that this was not always the case, and the two tone, and three tone camouflage schemes were introduced earlier than thought, if only in an unofficial way. This section also discusses the markings for various Units and goes into some depth to explain the numbering system, which did not always follow the normal Company/Platoon/Tank system.
The biggest upgrade to the Leopard came with the realization that the Leopard 1 would be in service for longer than originally thought. The fire control system, the laser range finder, new thermal sights, and a new 120mm gun are just some of the conversions that are discussed in this section. It is also at this point that the Bundeswehr officially adopts the standard NATO scheme.
The sections following the discussion of the 1A5 deal with the export versions of the Leopard, but do not list the modifications made by each country when they received their Leopard's. This is followed up by a brief discussion of the phase out of the Leopard and about the use of the Leopard as a test bed and some unique vehicles. This leads into a section on the Leopard 1A6. This is a short section as only two of these vehicles were built and the main differences could be found in the up armouring program and the fire control systems.
Towards the end of this section there are several smaller paragraphs that deal with specialized vehicles such as the Leopard 1A2 with a dozer blade, a Leopard 1A5 turret on a T-72 chassis and an Artillery Observation vehicle.
The photograph section is divided into the same order as the text at the front of the book and you get several pages of photographs on each variant, including the experimental variants. The photographs in these sections range from distance shoots, to close up detail shoots and should be a help to anyone needing confirmation of the location of a part, the colour of some small detail that is not included in the kit. Of particular note here I would mention the photographs of the add on armour plate mountings on the turrets. This provides the sort of hidden detail that is often hard for a modeller to find good photographs of.
In other photographs you can even see the texture of the steel used for the turrets. This would be most useful when texturing kit parts and is reminiscent of World War 2 photographs of German amour plate.
After the completion of the photographic section there is a brief two pages on the technical aspects of the Leopard 1. After this section is a section on "Unique Conversions". Some of these conversions finally found their way onto the Leopard 2, while others did not get past the testing stage. The photographs do show some unique AFV's that could be the basis for a model conversion. The section containing the 1/35th scale plans completes the book.
.After reading this book several times, I was left with the impression that this is an essential book for anyone wanting to model any of the earlier variants of the Leopard 1. Not only are the photographs well taken, but also the many detail shots, I think, will provide an indispensable aid to the modeller. Of note is the inclusion of an "exploded" view of the various components for the Leopard 1A5. This is reminiscent of a stage from an instruction sheet and should benefit anyone, immensely, who wants to build a 1A5 variant.
The book does not cover all the variants of the Leopard 1, only the 1A1 to 1A5. A second book is promised that will cover the later variants of the Leopard 1 including the up-armoured versions. The photographs are very varied in their locations. Leopards in the field, on the practice ranges, factory fresh, and many detail shots, including the engine removed from the Leopard. The text is brief but informative, and lists the full modifications made to the Leopard. The captions are well written but there are a few typos in the translation from German to English, but nothing too drastic.
If you have an interest in Leopard 1's, or even if it is modern tanks of any nation, I doubt you would be disappointed if you bought this book. Although it only covers German Leopard's, many of the detail photograph's are applicable to other nation's Leopard's. For your money you will find many interesting and detailed photographs, that will provoke the imagination and inspire you to build that Leopard 1, that was certainly my first thought after I had initially read it, and I had not had any plans to even think about building one, truly excellent reference work.
An essential read for anybody modelling the Leopard MBT in later years.

I don't quite understand one thing. Hawkeye wrote Well, first of all the reviewed book is a second book. First was about early years of Leo 1 in Bundeswehr service and this new book is about later variant. And judging from scanned pages from the reviewed book it seems to cover up-armored versions. Does it mean that third book is planned? What versions would be covered in it that were not covered in the first two? Pawel

Pawel Ask Tankograd. Stop being supercilious. Vinnie
AUG 20, 2006 - 03:26 PM
Vinnie, the quoted text was written by Hawkeye, not Tankograd. He reviewed the book, so knows what variants are covered and if he wrote that some are not covered, then I would like to know which one. He mentions that variants 1A1 to 1A5 are covered, but A1 - A4 were already covered in the first book and I see on scans that at least a couple other versions are shown in the new book (e.g. 1A1A2, 1A1A4). These are not questions to Tankograd, but to the reviewer. I just want to know if variants I'm interested in are covered in this book. Pawel
AUG 20, 2006 - 03:31 PM
Agree with previous comments. Plus it would be helpful to put the full title on the review header : "Leopard MBT In German Army Service - Late years" and not only "Leopard MBT In German Army Service" because of possible confusion with the earlier volume "Leopard MBT In German Army Service - Early years" which I think should have been mentioned in the review to put things in context. Cheers, Christophe
AUG 25, 2006 - 07:54 AM
Pawel,Christophe, the mistake was mine and no one else's. I had submitted the review and did not realise i had missed out "late" in the title and got this paragraph the wrong way round. My only excuse is that i wanted to get the review to Vinnie before i went on vacation, sorry.

Fuel Efficient American Autos Get New Funding Focus
By Nino Marchetti on January 23, 2014 in Electric Vehicles, Hybrids, Transportation
One thing sure to help the continued expansion of automotive innovation that focuses on greener outcomes is continued public/private partnerships. The federal government has been a key player in this capacity for years, and now is making available nearly $50 million to "accelerate research and development of new vehicle technologies that give drivers and businesses more transportation options and protect the environment in communities nationwide."
A large portion of this funding will include support for the U.S. Energy Department's EV Everywhere Grand Challenge, which was a broad initiative launched in March 2012 that aimed to make plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) more affordable and easy to drive within the next decade. The support being offered in this go around will focus upon "a wide range of technologies that further cut fuel costs for drivers and help make vehicles more efficient and durable, including lightweighting materials; cost-effective batteries and power electronics; advanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems; and improved fuels and lubricants."
Chevy Volt (image copyright EarthTechling)
Thus far, with help in part from federal programs like this, U.S. automakers, universities and national laboratories reportedly have achieved significant advances in vehicle efficiency and electrification, including cutting the cost to manufacture advanced electric vehicle batteries by 50 percent over the last four years. Much of what's been achieved in the growth of PEVs is talked about in a recently released report from the DOE [PDF], the highlights of which include:
Last year, Americans bought nearly 100,000 plug-in electric vehicles, nearly twice as many as sold during 2012. According to industry estimates, the U.S. PEV market is on track to pass the 200,000 sales milestone by spring 2014 – nearly two years before hybrid electric vehicles reached this milestone since their introduction 10 years ago.
The Kelley Blue Book 5-Year Cost to Own Awards ranked the 2013 Chevrolet Volt as #6 on its list of vehicles that have the lowest total cost of ownership for five years after the purchase of a new car. Only compact and subcompact cars cost less over this same period.
Through the Workplace Charging Challenge, the Energy Department is working to expand access to workplace charging stations for Americans workers across the country. In the first year of the challenge, more than 50 employers – including Facebook, Coca-Cola and Dell – have pledged to provide PEV charging access to their workforce at more than 150 worksites.
Over the last four years, the cost to manufacture advanced electric vehicle batteries has fallen by 50 percent. At the same time, the size and weight of PEV batteries has also been reduced by over 60 percent, while improving overall vehicle performance and durability.
"Today, the American auto industry is on the rise, experiencing the best period of growth in more than a decade," said U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz in a statement. "The new research and development funding announced…will help support our domestic automakers' continued growth and make sure that the next generation of advanced technology vehicles are built right here in America." | https://earthtechling.com/2014/01/fuel-efficient-american-autos-get-new-funding-focus/ | 2020/01/23 07:55:47 | mC4 |

Aware by LELAND
Published on March 8, 2016 March 8, 2016 by briannalorenLeave a comment
The first single off of the fresh new artist LELAND’s EP, “AWARE” has such a delicate happy feeling. It reminds me so much of the first time I heard “Electric Feel” by MGMT, which was like I was hit with a lust for life and blissful joy. “Aware” makes me want to drive down PCH with the windows down on a beautiful sunny day. His sound is very nostalgic; like a mixture between 80’s pop and new age indie. Like M83 and MGMT and INXS had a musical baby that just sprung out of the womb and blessed us with its creation. This song is super catchy, I guarantee it will get stuck in your head. Watch the sweet video here:

3 | example_80177 | Veterans Aid and Attendance: Check It Out, See What It's About - Residences Senior Living
November 10, 2021/Residence Senior Living
Veterans are VIPs for sure; not just on their special commemorative day November 11, but every day. As they were proud to serve for their country, we are honored to support them in every way possible. One of the needs we strive to support is being a resource for financial assistance when or if it is needed. We have hosted program presentations by professional advocates to help educate us all about Veterans Aid and Attendance. We'd like to share what we've learned.
Whether you are a veteran or your spouse is or was a veteran, it is of great benefit to find out about this payment source that helps support senior living. According to statistics provided by A Place for Mom, only an estimated quarter of eligible seniors apply for this benefit which can cover thousands of dollars for senior living and caregiving expenses. The problem has a simple solution—don't assume you're not eligible, don't assume there are too many restrictions, find out for certain.
First, understand what it is and what it can do. The VA Aid and Attendance program provides a substantial monthly payment in addition to the existing VA pension for eligible veterans and surviving spouses. Think of it as a supplemental income added to the VA Pension or survivors Pension to help cover the cost of long-term senior care.
For those older veterans or their surviving spouses who are not able to manage without assistance, the VA Aid and Assistance enables these individuals to have support for costs of assisted living, memory care, and in-home care services as well as skilled care/nursing home settings. All that's actually required by the senior living community is that it provides 24-hour staffing and that the veteran or surviving spouse requires assistance with at least two of the six activities of daily living (ADLs) listed by the VA.
Bathing and showering—being able to do either , as well as dental, hair and nail hygiene
Perhaps it's time for more assistance, even another environment for senior living. Think about the possibilities for a better, safer, healthier life for a veteran you may know during this time when we celebrate all the sacrifices they made for our country. Contact your local Veterans Assistance office; ask about VA Aid and Attendance to determine eligibility. We also invite you to call Residences at Deer Creek, Schererville, (219) 864-0700 or Residences at Coffee Creek, Chesterton, (219) 921-5200. Use us as a springboard for more information and resources because we are proud to serve veterans and grateful for all the service they have provided. | https://residencesseniorliving.com/blog/veterans-aid-and-attendance-check-it-out-see-what-its-about/ | 2022/01/19 10:03:48 | mC4 |
