{"text": "\|\n>>\n>>\n'Stubborn' PC owner takes on Gateway\nAs Grizzly Flats resident Dennis Sheehan tells his story, he has lived a computer buyer's worst nightmare after purchasing a defective PC from Gateway last year. Gateway wouldn't fix the machine, replace it or refund his money, he alleges, so he filed a small claims case in El Dorado County against the multibillion-dollar corporation. \"I could've bought another computer, but I'm a little bit stubborn,\" said the 46-year-old Sheehan, who describes himself as a retired real estate investor. As Gateway tells it in court filings, the company replaced Sheehan's computer a few months after he first complained, and he kept both machines. The company's bigger concern, however, is that Sheehan sued in court and did not arbitrate the case, as required by Gateway's sales agreement. In that regard, the case highlights a reality for today's consumers. Arbitration clauses -- slipped into sales agreements and scroll-down boxes on computer screens -- require a dispute to be settled in private forums chosen by companies instead of in public courtrooms. Often unaware, consumers agree to arbitration -- with the click of a mouse or even simply by using a product -- and give up their right to sue. Corporations contend that private arbitration saves everyone time and money, allowing disputes to be decided in one session by a neutral arbiter and avoiding lengthy and costly litigation in far-flung locations. But some critics say arbitration allows companies to avoid consumer lawsuits, including multimillion-dollar class actions. With the bottom line at stake, corporations such as Gateway will go to great lengths to defend those agreements, they say. \"We are at a point now where every large corporation that has the ability to say 'take it or leave it' is opting out of the civil justice system,\" said Cliff Palefsky, a San Francisco trial lawyer and expert on arbitration agreements. \"Some do it in a straightforward manner. Others do it in an underhanded manner.\" According to court papers and interviews, Sheehan's story started in January 2006 when he ordered a Gateway desktop computer with a widescreen monitor, intending to use it to start a sign-making business.. Technicians kept telling him the problems could be fixed, but they never were, he says. Eventually, Gateway refused to provide him with any more technical support, and despite his repeated demands, the company would not return his money or replace his computer, Sheehan contends. So, Sheehan said he decided to file a case against Gateway in small claims court, where lawyers are banned and citizens can seek basic justice. A March trial was scheduled in Placerville. Gateway responded with a Bay Area lawyer and a 2-inch thick stack of legal documents. The company had the case moved to a higher court and then tried to compel private arbitration on its own terms. Sheehan argued in a court filing that he had never accepted Gateway's arbitration agreement. He didn't receive any paperwork with the computer that explained the agreement, he said. And the computer's graphics were so scattered that he says he couldn't read the box of terms and conditions or click the \"accept\" button. A Gateway technician had him bypass the screen altogether, he said. Gateway responded in court papers that its terms of sale and warranty are included with every shipment, and that it was impossible for Sheehan to use the computer without accepting its terms and conditions or to bypass the screen. In a tentative ruling on May 24, El Dorado Superior Court Judge Daniel Proud sided with Sheehan and said the dispute should remain in small claims court. \"The court finds that based on the evidence submitted, the respondent has met his burden to prove there was no agreement to arbitrate the subject dispute,\" Proud wrote in his ruling. Gateway's lawyers asked the judge to hear them again in the matter. On Monday, Attorney William Portello, a partner in a Concord law firm, and Sheehan, a high-school dropout who has argued his own case, faced off in a Cameron Park courtroom. Portello tried to persuade Proud to change his ruling and send the case to arbitration, where he said it belonged. \"This is no different from virtually every other software and computer company in America,\" Portello told the judge. Sheehan again said he had never received the arbitration agreement via written materials or his computer screen, and told the judge he never received a replacement computer. Gateway insisted to Proud that the company had delivered a new PC. Proud, who urged the parties to settle their case, said he would take the matter under submission. He has 90 days to issue a final ruling. Portello could not talk about the case outside of court, and David Hallisey, Gateway's director of communications, said the company does not discuss pending litigation. Sheehan says he will continue to fight the case as long as Gateway refuses to give him justice. \"I started the battle,\" he said. \"I don't want to be the one who walks away because they're muscling me.\" Palefsky said that it is ultimately up to Gateway to show that a customer accepted their arbitration agreement. \"Gateway has the burden of proving the existence of a contract,\" he said. If Sheehan continues to be successful in the trial court, Palefsky said, he can look forward to a protracted appeal process, with hundreds of pages of legal filings and years of delay. At some point, he will likely be overwhelmed by the vast legal and financial resources of Gateway. \"This poor guy now faces daunting reality of having to litigate this on appeal against Gateway,\" Palefsky said. \"By winning, he's lost.\"\n\|\n\|\n\|\nServices\n\|\nArticles\n\|\n\|\nWhy Us\n\|\nProducts\n\|\nAnonymous Surfing\n\|\nCity Guide\n© 2006-2007\nOffshore Outsourcing\nCustom Web Development\n&\nWebsite Design\nby\nDizyn"}

{"text": "“Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.” —Rumi\nI found out the hard way that it is no easy task to run an online session. The COVID19 crisis has challenged us in many ways while shifting all our conversations and interactions online. How do I keep it together? Will participants get bored and leave my session? What if I mess up? I gathered together my top 5 key learnings from the various online sessions I’ve experienced lately. I hope they answer some questions you might have about running your online sessions and helps you stay balanced and present during these challenging times.\n#1 Be Fully Present\nBeing fully present is a tough one for me. Before a session it helps to do a bit of “grounding” work. I enjoy breathing exercises the most as it helps clear the mind. Deep inhales, then very long exhales. Taking a moment every now and then in a session to consciously breathe keeps me grounded too. Bonus if you incorporate body movement. Simple stretching, either seated or standing gets everyone feeling present. I find keeping a calm mind is vital. You’ll never know what might pop up. I had an unforeseen technical issue once. I designed a 90 minute session around 3 breakout rooms. Breakout rooms are useful for splitting a large group into smaller groups for deeper learning experiences. For some odd reason the breakout room option was not working so I had to continue without. Can’t keep over 350 participants waiting. I welcomed the technical glitch. Breathe. Calm. Focused. (To be honest, the session turned out better than I had imagined)\n#2 Give Space\nI try very hard to speak as little as possible. What is the minimum instructions that needs to be shared to get participants engaged? My online sessions tend to be action oriented full of fun activities but I notice I talk too much. (Chris, please shut up and let them get on with it!) During the last online session I ran, at some point participants had to take a moment to reflect on what they had created. I thought it was the perfect opportunity to take out my ukulele and strum a few calming chords to get them into a relaxed state. It helped me shut up and it helped them focus. Silence also works. It gives space to allow digesting and processing time. It’s a great tool that I always have to remind myself to use. Silence. Slow down.\n#3 Small Celebrations\nThis is a new one for me and I find it so useful. Creating moments of mini celebrations keeps the spirits up. Keeps it light. Learning together is a lot of fun, so small celebrations creates a sense of “we’re in this together”. We’re all uplifting each other. We get to see and hear each other. One of my favourite mini-celebration is inviting participants to wave their hands like a bird if they’re ready to “fly” to the next part of the activity. The typical one is “Give me a thumbs-up if you’re ready” but that’s so 1980s! Coming up with small novel ways (even for just a moment) to invite the imagination or even the body to move is a great way to keep everyone in the flow. It’s like small fun check-ins.\n#4 Stay Curious\nI’m always amazed with what participants share. I’m so inspired with their generosity and courage to share their thoughts and feedback. So yes, sometimes I do wish I was a participant instead. Most of my questions come from a place of curiosity. I’m so curious to see the participants perspective. What emotions are arising? What is it that they see? What are they finding challenging? I get caught in the performance mode, but then I have to remind myself to get into a learning mode too. For that I’ve got to stay genuinely curious about their learning as this will help my learning. It’s a learning party!\n#5 Authentic Voice\nThis is going to sound cheesy. Tone of voice is super important when you run an online session. Speaking in a digital space is very different to speaking in a physical space. In a digital space we’re missing the room acoustics and ambient sounds. It doesn’t feel “real”. I get it, we’re trying our best to mimic reality. Sherry Turkle said it best in her book ‘Reclaiming conversation: the power of talk in a digital age’,\nDigital promotes a transactional language\nThe closest we’re going to having an authentic connection is if we speak with an authentic voice. A voice that connects. (Here comes the cheesy bit) I like to speak to participants as-if they were all my brothers and sisters. I find that it activates a friendly voice. And most importantly it invites a sense of care in my voice. I guess what I’m trying to say is that when I’m speaking to my family I’m actually speaking from my heart. I’m trying my best to be as authentic as possible. (Cheesy bit over)\nConclusion\nOne of the hardest things to let go is our inner perfectionist. We all want to deliver the best online experience and have participants leave the session with a smile on their faces. I like to test my sessions with trusted and supportive friends who would give me constructive feedback. It would also give me the opportunity to shed any fears I may have. And there are plenty of fears. I had to learn to trust the process and trust my participants to make the best decisions for themselves. They own their learnings and not me. And above all, we’ve got to learn to be kinder to our self. After all this is all a learning experience and we’re all in it together.\nWhat strategies do you use to stay balanced during online sessions?"}

{"text": "When John Thomas Flynn became chief information officer for Massachusetts in 1994, he had to explain to Gov. William Weld what the title meant. But that was the least of Flynn's problems. \"There was no model in state government for CIO when I took that position in Massachusetts,\" he recalled. \"I ended up modeling my job after the position at General Motors, which had divisional information officers report to the CIO.\"\nIn the five years since Flynn created what he believes to be one of the first true state CIO positions in the country, the role of the CIO still remains ill-defined, making the job complicated, stressful and subject to high rates of turnover. \"There's an ongoing dynamic to what the proper role of the state CIO should be,\" said Flynn, who later became CIO for California and last year joined Litton/PRC as vice president.\nOn the one hand, states realize they need someone in charge of technology, which now constitutes as much as 10 percent of a typical state budget. On the other hand, nearly half of the states still don't have an official \"CIO\" position and many still divide IT budgets by agency, each of which has its own IT director and data center.\nFor CIOs, the reality of working with divided authority and locking horns with independent agency heads can burn out the most determined people. \"I think more CIOs fail because the deck is stacked against them,\" said George Lindamood, former CIO for Washington and now an independent consultant.\nBalancing Policy and Operations\nIf there's one card in particular state CIOs need to be dealt, it's the one for authority. Less than a half-dozen CIOs have a position in their governor's cabinet, according to Flynn, who was president of the National Association of State Information Resource Executives (NASIRE) while California's CIO. \"You need two things to get your job done,\" he continued. \"First, the absolute authority from the governor to be accountable for getting the job done, and second, overall operational responsibility for all IT aspects of the state.\"\nFlynn firmly believes that controlling the purse strings makes it easier to get things done, but without operational authority, meeting policy goals can be difficult. He cited a lack of control over California's multiple data centers as a key impediment to his efforts to streamline and improve how the state used IT.\nHaving that kind of authority can lead to trouble, however. While CIO in Washington, Lindamood held both the policy and operations role for IT, but he was criticized for holding too much power. Ironically, his authority came about because the state was determined to do things the way they were done in the private sector. \"I told them if our role is to emulate the private sector, then don't worry about it,\" recalled Lindamood. \"We're doing exactly what the private sector does.\"\nIn retrospect, Lindamood now believes separating policy and operations into two different roles makes sense. Not only is the dual role extremely demanding, but there are instances where a conflict of interest could occur. The most obvious example is outsourcing, which is happening with greater frequency these days. \"The person in charge of operations is going to resist outsourcing, because it does away with his power,\" Lindamood explained. \"When the same person is also in charge of policy, how can he or she decide, without conflict of interest, when outsourcing is appropriate?\"\nHarmful Turnover Rates\nIn 1996, Congress passed the Clinger-Cohen Act, which directed major agencies of the federal government to appoint CIOs. Despite the mandate, a number of cabinet agencies avoided creating the new post. Many of those that followed the mandate failed to give CIOs the power of the purse. The first crop of CIOs also ran into the brick wall"}

{"text": "You don’t look at a David Prince photograph, you allow yourself to sink into it slowly, like lowering yourself into a steaming hot spring. For years he’s produced stunning loose-leaf portfolios consisting of several signatures wrapped in a cover sheet, which enables him to insert and remove photographs depending on the potential client receiving them. But with his latest, he did something truly daring – he allowed it to be printed digitally for the first time, and bigger than life in more ways than one.\nTo begin with, the 24-page book is an attention-grabbing 11 x 14 inches, which makes for spreads that feel large enough to dive into. This oversize format plays extraordinarily well with David’s frequent photographic subject matter of choice: unique still lifes expertly styled and shot with an eye for extreme detail. At this size you don’t feel like you’re simply perusing photos, but rather peering through a window at something so tantalizingly close you could practically reach out and touch it.\nThe printer, Kirkwood, further enhanced this illusion by extending the printed color gamut beyond CMYK by adding Orange and Violet (CMYKOV) to the digital print run on an HP Indigo press. This not only makes for unusually vibrant colors – just look at the red in the cover images – but also heightens the gorgeousness of tone-on-tone images like the white-on-white we find in the skull and other items in the tabletop spread.\nDavid’s photographs deal as much with subtle shadows as light, and the digital printing here captures every nuance perfectly. When you consider that a portion of his client list reads like a Who’s Who of fashion, glamor and wealth – including Louis Vuitton, Coach, Rolex and Tiffany – you can appreciate the risk he felt he was taking going the digital route, which makes the beautiful results seem all the sweeter.\nThe final ingredient in this sumptuous feast for the eyes, of course, is the paper. Not the glossy sheet you might expect, but the photographer continues his long-time reliance on Mohawk’s offerings, this time opting for a 100 lb. Mohawk Superfine Ultrawhite sheet with an Eggshell finish [Get Swatchbook!]. This luscious, archival-quality paper transforms each signature in this unbound portfolio into a potential art print suitable for framing.\nLove this piece?

{"text": "The United States has an extensive list of presidents that were labeled as ‘’great,” many of which have led the country through countless adversities. However, Americans have also witnessed leaders who did more harm than good during their presidency. George W. Bush, the 43rd president, for example, was one of the most controversial leaders in United States history. As one of the select few presidents to be re-elected for a second term, many people argue that he did an excellent job and played a crucial role into turning the US into the powerhouse it is today. Many events occurred during his administration; events that will forever be cemented in history such as: the 9/11 attack, the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, the 2008 Financial Crisis, and the bills that he signed. Was George W. Bush a successful president? Did he do more good for the country than harm? His supporters insist that he helped reform the Education System, strengthen National Security and was even able to receive a positive approval rating. Despite that, he has faced numerous accusations and criticism. Many were very upset at the handling of the Middle Eastern conflicts and the Economic crisis. Subsequently, the consequences of his questionable decisions far outweigh the good that he brought upon the people during his years.\nGeorge W. Bush was raised in Houston, Texas. Growing up, he did not experience a normal childhood; his father George H. W. Bush, was a successful businessman in the oil industry and the 41st president of the United States. Therefore, George W. Bush was comfortable throughout his early years. He then attended Yale University, his father’s alma mater and went on to work in the oil industry. From 1995 to 2000, Mr. Bush was appointed as the Governor of Texas. During his time as a governor, he signed a bill that allowed Texans to obtain permits to carry concealed weapons and helped improve the education system in the state. After gaining much popularity and even getting re-elected for a consecutive 4-year term; becoming the first Governor in Texas to do so, Bush decided to run for President in 2000 for the Republican party. In his campaign, George W. Bush promised that he would increase the size of the Armed Forces, cut taxes, improve the education system, improve healthcare and help minorities. However, what is often forgotten is that he signed the most execution orders of any US Governor in history. Now the question arises, did he fulfill the promises he made during his campaign?\nThe famous 9/11 attacks occurred 8 months into Bush’s presidency. Hijacked planes crashed into the famous Twin towers in an event that forever scarred the hearts of Americans. In response, Bush ordered the invasion of Afghanistan and the War on Iraq to eliminate Talibans. While many praised him as a hero, the media failed to disclose that thousands of innocent civilians died during the war. Not to mention that he withdrew from signing International Criminal Court Treaty and completely ignored the U.N Security Council’s disapproval to invade the country. There has been speculation that President Bush’s real motives for invading Afghanistan and Iraq was to access oil pits that laid on the territories. Nevertheless, the total cost for the war was around 5 trillion dollars.\nThe propaganda shown in the media helped him gain many domestic supporters and allowed him to have a positive approval rating. Howbeit, the support he received from the people did not last for long. Instead, it declined exponentially for the rest of his term. From 2000 to 2005, President Bush allowed 8 million immigrants to cross the borders. It was revealed afterwards that around half of that amount were illegal immigrants. The support he showed for a bill that would allow the illegal immigrants to eventually gain American citizenship and stay here legally, infuriated many because Americans were already struggling to get employed. Consequently, the unemployment rate in the US nearly doubled during his presidency. George W. Bush was also famous for imposing a nationwide educational reform. The No Child Left Behind Act that was put in place in 2001. While his intentions were good, the Act emphasized too much on raising test scores and elevating teaching standards. In the following years, studies did show an improvement in standardized testing. Despite that, parents voiced their concerns in the fact that teachers were now focused on improving test performances instead of teaching the students valuable knowledge. Not to mention that the NCLB also set incredibly high qualification standards for teachers, which resulted in a decrease in teaching candidacy in the years following the NCLB.\nDuring the elections, George W. Bush said that he would improve the healthcare system and reduce the poverty rate in the country. A census by the Census Bureau revealed otherwise. After he entered the office, the average household income in the US decreased by 4.2 percent after he entered the office.1 This led to an increase of 26.1% of people living in poverty, which then led to more Americans without access to healthcare. All this while he was on vacation. Reporters analyzing his record found that he took 1020 days off during his 8 years; the most in the history of US presidents. This nonchalant behavior undoubtedly played an important role that ultimately resulted in the 2008 Financial Crisis.\nOverall, President Bush showed a lot of patriotism during his administration. He often mentions how Americans should stick together. He did show a bright side, he helped fund services and movements that fought AIDS all over the globe. However, there is irrefutable proof that his presidency did more harm than good for the country. The people showed their displeasure by giving him a disapproval rating of 64.7% at the end of his second term. As for the promises he made during his campaign, most of them were not fulfilled. His handling of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Healthcare system, Economy system and the Financial Crisis disappointed many."}

Normally, the higher the SAP score, the lower the gas expense as well as associated co2 emissions (CARBON DIOXIDE). From the SAP computations, we have the ability to work out a power expense for a provided residential property. This is formed by assessing the building of the house, its heater, interior lighting suggested buildings use of products, heating unit, cooling, warm water, ventilation and illumination solutions. Along with this the computation also considers what renewable energy sources have been utilized, such as solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, ground/air-source home heating.\nAs soon as this data is modelled in our federal government approved software, we can give an accurate understanding of what the structures power performance as well as carbon emissions will be.

{"text": "Blogabetes\nNuts and Bolting\nCategories: Emotions Fitness Food Real Life Type 1 Type 2\nTags: blood glucose management exercise food binge eating food choices compliance lifestyle changes eating disorders\nViews: 872\nThe prescriptions and proscriptions about what foods to eat, when, and how much are enough to throw any ordinary person into what any normal behavioral psychologist would call \"disordered eating\" yet, if we don't follow that plan, we're considered \"noncompliant\". (Can't win for trying, can we?)\nA lot has been said in popular diabetes media about diabulimia on the one hand, it's not bulimia because it doesn't include binge eating behavior, but on the other hand it is, because there is deliberate purging behavior (deliberately withholding insulin).\nThe Other Half's late aunt, diagnosed with geriatric type 2 diabetes, was told she could only eat if her blood glucose level was below 100. I had originally thought that a reasonable request, until I found I was so rarely going into the 90s at even three or four hours postprandial that I was having trouble consuming a scant 1000 calories a day. (Less than that, without a doctor's supervision, is considered to be dangerous but on the other hand, they say that women should not consume more than 1500 calories a day to maintain weight, and not more than 1200 if they have any weight to lose.) It was a mindset that, if not addressed early on, could have led to anorexia nervosa another, potentially lethal, eating disorder. Of course, nobody would have diagnosed it because I was obese, and one of the key signs for clinical diagnosis is being extremely underweight.\nMany of us, when we feel hypoglycemic, often before we even bother to test, eat anything sugary in sight. Sometimes the problem is that we don't feel \"low\" until we're very low, or until we have been \"running low\" for some time (perhaps even long enough for our livers to cave in and release large amounts of glycogen); sometimes the problem is that work or family keeps us from getting to the small, measured doses of sugar until we feel that a crisis has hit. While we may not, technically, eat enough during these episodes to constitute a binge, the rebound on our blood glucose levels may suggest to us that we really had been on one (especially if we are following the highly-restrictive diets that we are \"supposed\" to be following).\nWe are given a number of glycemic \"guidelines\" with which to work. Failure to meet any one of these can be considered anything from \"a bad number\" to failure as adults to \"suck it up\" and properly manage our diabetes. While not every person with diabetes can control his glucose levels by withholding food or avoiding certain specific foods, if our diabetes can be moderated by our diets, and we are not doing so, we are considered irresponsible.\n*On the physical activity side of the equation, how many of us fear doing \"Larry Bird\" (33 minutes or more of aerobic physical activity) because of the potential for hypoglycemia? How many times have we read of someone having to either crank up the flow level on an insulin pump (or conversely, suspend it completely) before starting a hard aerobic and/or endurance workout? Do we fuel for our activity level, or do we fuel for our blood glucose level? The two sets of needs may be completely contradictory, with the result that many of us choose to maintain elevated blood glucose levels (above 126 mg/dl or 6.0) during extended periods of exercise and others of us can't seem to get below that number as long as there are glycogen stores for the body to draw from.\nWhile I don't have the background or the quantitative data to take the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity up on its offer, there is a lot of material available for someone who wishes to examine how and why people with diabetes have the idiosyncratic eating habits we do.\n"}

{"text": "Labor Leader Enters Race For State Senate Seat\nApril 13, 2017 by admin · Leave a Comment\nLabor leader Maria Elena Durazo has announced her candidacy for the state Senate seat held by President Pro Tem Kevin De Leon, who cannot run for re-election in 2018 because of term limits.\n“I am, in every way, a daughter of California,” Durazo said in a two-minute, 30-second video released last Thursday on her campaign’s website.\n“I am not asking you to send me to Sacramento. I am asking you to come with me to the state Capitol because I believe more in the power of people coming together than I do in the power of government.”\nThe 24th Senate District stretches from Koreatown and Hollywood in the west, south to Arlington Heights, north to Eagle Rock and east to East Los Angeles. It also includes Chinatown, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Boyle Heights, Glassell Park and Highland Park.\nAlthough nearly 60 percent of voters are registered as Democrats, 27 percent list no party affiliation and just under 9 percent are registered Republican.\nDurazo, the first candidate to officially throw her hat into the ring, enters the race with strong name recognition and organizing credentials from her days as a local labor leader.\nFrom 2006 to 2014, she was head of the powerful Los Angeles County Federation of Labor that represents over 800,000 union members. While with the county labor federation, Durazo was one of the most influential figures in local politics, earning a reputation as a tough as nails advocate for union workers and as a civil rights leader.\nUnder her leadership, the county labor federation won approval for a “living wage” ordinance requiring some large hotels in Los Angeles to pay workers up to $15.37 an hour. The labor group successfully argued that hotels near Los Angeles International Airport-LAX were financially benefitting from business generated by the city-owned airport, and therefore the city’s living wage requirements for businesses with city contracts should also apply to the hotels.\nTo the surprise of many, she left the county labor federation in 2014 to become general vice president of immigration, civil rights and diversity for the UNITE HERE International Union, which represents more than 270,000 hospitality workers in the United States and Canada.\nIn February, Durazo was re-elected as a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, a position she has held since 2013. The 24th Senate District race will be her run for political office after years of backing other Democrats for office.\nThe daughter of immigrant farmworkers from Mexico, Durazo worked in the fields before becoming a union organizer. She said she never wanted to run for office and for years successfully resisted the urging by others to do so.\nLast Thursday, Durazo credited the election of Pres. Trump for her decision to run, telling the L.A. Times, “things are changing in this country; obviously the Trump administration is doing things I consider very bad.”\nDurazo is also board member of LA 2024, the group seeking to bring the 2024 Olympics to Los Angeles.\nInformation from City News Service used in this report."}

{"text": "From the Shorter Oxford: the proof that our verb \"to write\" originally meant to tear, cut or rip. From the Old Saxon word meaning to cut or score, the verb to write actually sounds very similar to the modern German word for rip or tear, \"reiβen\". The Angles, Saxons and Jutes, when they wrote at all, used a knife or sharp tool and cut runes, not Latin letters. Our alphabet came with the Catholic missionaries who brought Latin and Christianity to England. When the Roman legions began to pull out of Britain in 410AD, the native Britons were placed in a precarious and untenable position. For hundreds of years they had had the most powerful military force in the world to protect them. Quite suddenly, that force was gone. They hoped that the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, Germanic tribes, would protect them from the Picts and Scots in the north who were disturbingly eager to overrun them.\nThis turned out to be a bad idea. Starting in 449AD, the Angles, Saxons and Jutes came and, liking what they saw, they stayed. Many Britons withdrew to Cornwall and Wales. In a way it was like inviting people over for a visit and having them kick you out of your house.\nSo why learn about these relatively remote Germanic tribes who decided to take over this small green island?\nWell, they gave us our language. Sure, as time passed the English borrowed many words from other groups, including the Christian missionaries who brought Latin, the Vikings who contributed Old Norse, the Normans, who gave us many French words, and many others.\nBut the soul of the English language, the words that are the building blocks, the words that are learned by English speaking children at their mother’s (or father’s) knee, the words that are used in every sentence of English (including the word English itself) are nearly all from the Anglo-Saxons, as they came to be called.\nFrom (allowed to be used freely); the inscription says, “God spede ye plow and send us Korne enow”.\n♦Why is English spelt so strangely?\n♦Why are English and German so similar in many ways?\n♦Why are Christmas and Easter actually celebrated on the dates of pagan festivals?\nThe Anglo-Saxons provide the answer to all these riddles.\nThey were brilliant at riddles themselves. Nearly a hundred of their riddles have come down to us. Here’s an example for you to try to solve. It is from, where you can read others later if you have time.\nAn Anglo-Saxon R.\nHelmet found at Sutton Hoo, an Anglo-Saxon burial site\nListen to Old English on the Ages of English Timeline at the trusty BBC website below. You may need to use your earphones. It sounds quite different from modern English, more German perhaps, and it is almost completely incomprehensible. And yet…every now and then, a word or a short sentence sounds very much the same. If you listen to the sound of the words rather than the words themselves, it can seem strangely familiar.\nListen, for instance, to the short passage from Beowulf at this link. The last four words of this passage sound very familiar indeed. Can you guess what they mean?\nWHOA, SPOOKY!\nAGES of English TIMELINE LINK\n(First click on the ? on the top right so that you know how to use the timeline.)\n♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦"}
{"text": "Here we have a Belgian Special, the FS2000 Tactical! A unique looking bullpup assault rifle used by the Belgian special forces. This new iteration from G&G has their ETU fitted as standard giving it amazing trigger response and rate of fire. It’s quirky ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hold & makes it stand out on the field.\nThe G&G’s FS2000 replica of the real steel forgoes the distinctive integrated optic in favor of a top accessory 20mm rail in order to accept aftermarket optics besides the back-up iron sights that are included.\nThis bullpup weapon features all the inherent advantages including the compact size with full length rifle barrel, the deep seating center of balance for rapid aim acquisition when firing.\nThe FS2000 has the added advantage of using standard M4 high capacity magazines, Mid and Low cap’s may require modification in order to use.\nThe battery solution is rear-wired in the stock (small connector), quick power adjustment of the FPS is via the rear of the gearbox and ideal if you play at different sites and just adds to this Airsoft Gun’s great features.\nThis FS2000 is equipped with an innovative ETU (Electronic Trigger Unit) system. The system completely replaces the connector cube and fully takes over the function of a MOSFET module. Due to the electronic operation of the trigger, the system has gained remarkable responsiveness to the trigger. Each pull results in a full operation cycle of the GB. The ETU system has the ability to program fire modes. The user by default has the access to SAFE – SEMI – FULL AUTO – 3 round burst modes. The programming process is trivial – the user needs only to select the SEMI option and pull the trigger for 10 seconds. Once that is done, the third option of the fire mode selector will initiate the selected mode.\nKey Features\nThe sights, RIS rail and the outer barrel are made of metal alloy, while the flashider is made of steel.\nDue to the bullpup construction, the FS2000 offers a long barrel (430 mm) while keeping relatively small size of the weapon as a whole, so this rifle is still highly manoeuvrable.\nThe FS2000 uses standard AR (M4, 16) magazines.\nOne enlarged 450 rounds hi-cap is included.\nHigh torque motor, 8mm bearings, electronic trigger unit inside.\nDetachable spring guide.\nCan be powered by a 9.6v and 11.1v li-po battery."}
{"text": "In case you missed it from the September 2011 Newsletter...\nWould you like a portfolio that never loses money? Would you like a portfolio that increases with the stock market in good years and maintains principal in bad years? Would you like a “free lunch”? Would you like to come to a free dinner to learn about a “free lunch”? Sign me up!\nAlthough the intro may be a bit extreme, Equity Indexed Annuities have made bold claims for years. It’s a compelling story, especially with hindsight. Equity Indexed Annuities began in 1995. Somewhere along the way they were renamed Fixed Indexed Annuities. The Fixed Indexed Annuity (FIA) market has experienced dramatic growth the past few years. If you open your mail or listen to the radio, surely you have been invited to a free steak dinner to discuss a “free lunch”.\nWhat occurs at these dinners? I am sure every gathering is different, but they likely begin by establishing the risk of the stock market and the dishonesty of “wall street”. Not a difficult sell. The discussion probably transitions from there to a question and answer. What if you could lock in your gains after the next 2007 and protect yourself from losses during the next 2008? Sound good? Of course it does.\nWhat is the catch? You don’t really know until you invest. It is difficult to pinpoint. It’s hard to get your hands on the fine print before investing. You have an initial grace period (you can get out penalty free) but it isn’t really long enough to observe the policy features. Following the initial grace period, huge surrender penalties apply for a decade or longer. However, most policies do allow a ten percent annual penalty free withdrawal.\nWhat typical policy features make the “free lunch” claim misleading? First, you do not lock in a high point in the market unless it occurs at a policy reset date. Second, results are tied to an index, typically the S&P 500, not a diversified global equity portfolio. Third, you don’t participate in 100% of the gains. They remove dividends from returns and apply a participation rate (reduced rate at which you “participate” in the change in index value). There is also a cap limiting your annual gain. What is the most troubling feature? They can actually change the cap and participation rate after you purchase the policy.\nIs the FIA a viable product? Yes. But FIA’s should be sold as a variation to the traditional fixed annuity product. They should not be sold as the upside of the stock market without the downside. They should not be sold as a “free lunch”.\nAfter further consideration don’t sign me up, but thanks for the steak!\nFind Dustin on\n"}
{"text": "Yohannes and William saved from torture\nOn the 19th of September, 2015 a complainant Benjamin Attipoe a Public Servant at the Kete-Krachi District Assembly called our attention with the District Police Command over an issue involving two kids who where maltreated by their step father Robert Medegli who is a fisherman on an Island near Kete-Krachi. These victims Yohannes Medegli and William Medegli aged 7 and 4 lived with their mother and their step father who happens to be the accused Robert Medegli.\nOn the 14th of September 2015, Yohannes and William together with their step father went for fishing expedition on the Volta Lake and returned home late to the house. The kids were very hungry and then Yohannes went and stole fish head from soup kept at the kitchen. Their step father became very angry and beat both Yohannes and William severely and again put a stone in fire and placed it on the stomach of Yohannes and again put his right hand into fire.\nThe complainant Benjamin Attipoe went to the lake and then saw the accused and the victims on fishing expedition with wounds all over their bodies. When they were interrogated the victims told him that it was the accused which happens to be Rorbet, their step father that placed hot stone on the stomach of Yohannes, his hand into fire and again beat them. Benjamin then called for the arrest of the accused Robert Medegli, and on their way to the police Station the accused tried to bribe the complainant with the amount of GHC 50, $12 but he refused and escorted him to the police station. The victims were admitted at the hospital for a week, discharged later and handed over to PACODEP where they are being cared for and nurtured at the Village of Life Center.\nThe accused absconded while on bail but he resurfaced and was arrested. After investigation he was charged with the offence and sent to court. He pleaded profusely for leniency.\nCourt further enquired from accused if really he uses the two children in fishing. He replied yes and still pleaded for leniency.\nCourt further enquired if the victims attend school but accused said No.\nAfter so much of interrogations, the court gave it ruling that the accused Robert Medegli has therefore been sentenced to a term of imprisonment for twelve (12) months without the option of fine as a deterrence. It was further ordered that the two victims be in custody of PACODEP, Village of Life Academy.\nBEFORE\nAFTER\n"}

Frequent (Emerald, one more sailing to Diamond) Royal Caribbean cruiser. All three ports of call - it rained. All three sea days - it rained. Last night sailing into Galveston hit a storm (Captain called it a squall) with 70 mph wind and 17 - 20 foot seas. Beaufort scale 8 weather, the Beaufort scale only goes to 12. Should say rotten trip, but actually I think it was the best cruise I have ever been on. Met so many new friends and we are getting together next year to sail again. The ship - beautiful, but in my opinion not as pretty as the Mariner inside. The crew was absolutely wonderful, good moods, and you could tell they liked their jobs and each other, They acted like they were a family. The concierge (we sprang for a suite for the second time, it is really worth the perks) on this ship is AWESOME!! Lots of return cruisers who were there just to sail with her again...and she is going to transfer to the Liberty to stay with the Galveston passengers...she said they were the best! The entertainment was awesome. We met and sat next to the lead female singer in the Royal Caribbean Singers and Dancers Dad. He was obviously so proud of his daughter - that was a special, unplanned treat! Ice show was amazing. First comedian good, second one didn't stay for his show as I had seen it on television, but everyone was impressed with him as well. My only negative comment is that the food on this ship is not up to Royal's standards at all. The dinning room and Chops were great, Windjammer hit and miss, but Giovanni's Table was so horrible that I got out cover charge refunded! Everyone on the ship who ate there agreed that it was bad.. I remember Portofino being so excellent that we ate there twice onboard the Mariner, why the change and the decline in food? This chef needs to be moved elsewhere. Service onboard fantastic! I would recommend this ship to anyone. Our cruise was not perfect; none are. It amuses me to hear first time cruisers complain about things that are just normal on cruises ( elevators being slow, lines, prices etc.). Even with the weather, and so many excursions and on board activities cancelled, we made the best of it and had a wonderful time. I always sail with my sister who is disabled and in a wheelchair, and if she can find things to do on a rainy cruise then anyone can. Great job Royal, keep up the good work and we will keep coming back!\nCategory Ratings\nClick table then swipe to view all columns.\nClick table then swipe to view all columns.\nPort Ratings\nClick table then swipe to view all columns.\nClick table then swipe to view all columns.\n5 Comments\nVibarreto 1 year ago\nFlag\nRoyalLoyal 1 year ago\nOh no, never bored....she will love it. I don't know if you are going on Royal Caribbean, but all cruise lines have programs for the young ones. On Royal Caribbean, it is called Adventure Ocean, and there are many activities for all ages. The teenagers have their own bar (non alcoholic of course), their own nightclub, etc. I suggest that you take advantage of this program as it will allow you some down time to do whatever you want, even if its just a few hours to lay by the pool, soak up some rays, and read a book! (If it's not raining, of course, LOL). If she is into video games, there is an arcade on board, but that can get kinda pricey depending on how long she plays. Like I said, I dont know which line you are sailing with, but if its Royal, you can count on them doing their best to make sure both of you have an amazing time! Best to you, and of course, BON VOYAGE!!\nFlag\nRoyalLoyal 1 year ago\nAnd yes, there were a few teens on board!

{"text": "A True Confession From The Woman Who Sells Beads!\n(The Above Picture Does Not Represent The Victim).\nA woman (name with-held) who sells beads was called by an un-kown customer on the phone asking her to deliver him some African beads.\nBefore she’ll go, she sensed that she need to pick her 6 month baby along.\nOn arrival, she met the man standing infront of a shop, by a roadside.\nLittle did she know the man was a ritualist and a killer, who was secretly going to sacrifice her and actually, the agenda wasn’t about business at all.\nHowever, the minute the pretended customer saw her with a baby in her car, he got annoyed asking her why she along with her baby during an important business meeting.\nShe was wondering why such frustrations and why she was not supposed to come with her baby in just a delivery business. What harm was the baby going to cause in just a simple product delivery?\nApparently, the man realized that the presence of this baby would cause or disturb his plans-well, perhaps, the cry of the baby could set an alarm since the location wasn’t at too lonely place and there were people around!\nWhat happened?\nShe looked up at the frustrated customer, who then slipped his hand into his pocket and fetched out his phone, hit on some few buttons and called an unknown person.\nImmediately he hanged up, he told the woman he can’t buy the beads anymore with the excuse that the real buyer is not interested in her products any longer!\nShe was lucky; God saved her on that day!\nIn fact, after analyzing the whole incidence and especially, on how the man was behaving, she realized that the man wasn’t really interested in the beads but had a different motive! All she could bid on was, they were going to sacrifice her but God who gave her that inner voice, discomfited them on that day with her beautiful baby!\nStory Lessons To Be Learnt On This True Story:\na) Be careful of this world; when going to deliver up something or meeting someone for the very first time whom you don’t know try to go with somebody. Never go alone, even if you think they have the right intentions! You can’t know someone’s heart!\nb) Be sensitive to the inner voice. Some of these inner feelings you feel to do or not to do something could be right! In all be careful, in life!\n* What are some lessons you’ve learnt from this true story?

{"text": "Thursday’s Game Report: Cardinals 8, Cubs 0\nBy Rob Rains\nIt had been nearly 34 years since the Cardinals held the Cubs to one hit in a game in St. Louis. It only seemed that long to Jack Flaherty since his last win.\nAfter starting 12 games that stretched across the country from New York to Seattle and San Francisco with several stops in between, Flaherty finally won his first game since May 14 on Thursday night and he did it in style.\nFlaherty allowed only one hit, a two-out single in the sixth inning by Nicholas Castellanos – playing his first game after being acquired by the Cubs on Wednesday – over seven innings as the Cardinals won the series over the Cubs and once again claimed sole possession of first place in the NL Central.\nHis pitch-count was creeping up – Flaherty finished the seventh with 98 pitches – so it was doubtful he could have had a chance to complete a no-hitter had Castellanos not got the clean single to right, but after several games in which he pitched well and didn’t get a win, Flaherty was happy to just get the W.\nStarting with the final game before the All-Star break when he lost a no-hit bid in the seventh on a home run by Evan Longoria – which also made him the losing pitcher – Flaherty had allowed a total of four runs in four starts, covering 24 1/3 innings – but was just 0-1 with three no decisions to show for that effort.\nHis luck was better on Thursday night thanks to a big night from his teammates, who broke out of their inability to deliver key hits with runners in scoring position. They finished the game with five hits in 15 at-bats with runners on second or third after getting a combined three hits in those situations in the previous four games.\nIt was the second biggest shutout for the Cardinals over the Cubs in Busch Stadium 3, trailing only a 12-0 win in 2012.\nTheir last one-hitter over the Cubs in St. Louis was a complete game, 8-0 win by John Tudor on Aug. 8, 1985. Chicago’s only hit was a single by Leon Durham in the fifth inning.\nIt also was the first one-hitter by the Cubs over the Cardinals since Joe Magrane held them to one hit at Wrigley Field, a second-inning single by Vance Law, on Aug. 12, 1988.\nIt was the Cardinals’ sixth one-hitter at Busch 3. The most recent came from Jaime Garcia over Milwaukee on April 14, 2016, with the only hit a sixth-inning single by Domingo Santana.\nHere is how the game broke down:\nAt the plate: When Jose Martinez singled to drive in a run in the first inning, following a leadoff double by Tommy Edman, it was their first hit that drove in a run with a runner in scoring position since last Friday. Since that hit, a home run from Paul Goldschmidt, they had been just 3-of-41 with runners on second or third … One of Kolten Wong’s three singles drove in another run in the fourth before a four-run sixth, capped by a three-run homer from Matt Wieters, broke the game open … They added additional runs in the seventh on a sacrifice fly from Yairo Munoz and in the eighth when Rangel Ravelo grounded into a double play with the bases loaded … Wong has reached base in a career-high 20 games … When Martinez drew a walk leading off the seventh, it snapped a franchise-record 31-inning streak by the Cardinals without drawing a walk, breaking a record of 30 innings in 2003, They had not drawn a walk since the first inning on Sunday.\nOn the mound: The Cubs’ only two other baserunners both reached base on walks off Flaherty. Castellanos walked on a 3-2 pitch in the first and Kyle Schwarber walked on four pitches with two outs in the fifth … Flaherty struck out nine, one shy of his season high … In his last five starts, dating back to the game in San Francisco, Flaherty has allowed a total of 15 hits in 31 1/3 innings while walking 9 and striking out 39. His ERA over those starts is 1.15 … Tyler Webb and Mike Mayers completed the one-hitter by retiring the Cubs in order in the eighth and ninth … It was the Cardinals’ fifth shutout of the season, all of which have come at home.\nKey stat: The home run from Wieters was his 10th of the season, in 130 at-bats. He’s the first Cardinals’ catcher to hit 10 home runs in a season, other than Yadier Molina, since Tom Pagnozzi hit 13 in 1996. From 2011 through the end of last season, the Cardinals’ backup catchers combined had nine home runs (five from Tony Cruz) in a combined 1,242 at-bats.\nWorth noting: Matt Carpenter broke his 0-of-22 streak on his minor-league rehab journey between Memphis and Springfield on Thursday night with an RBI double to right field in his second at-bat and then delivered a two-run single … Marcell Ozuna had a better night, going 3-of-4 with five RBIs, including a three-run homer. Ozuna is scheduled to be re-evaluated on Friday as the Cardinals decide whether to activate him from the injured list for this weekend’s games in Oakland … Carpenter will be joined in Memphis on Friday by Molina as he begins a rehab assignment. The Cardinals say Molina will not rejoin the team on its upcoming trip to Oakland and Los Angeles but left open the possibility he could be ready to return when the team gets back home on Aug. 9 … Munoz was a late replacement in the lineup for Tyler O’Neill, who has been bothered by a sore hand.\nLooking ahead: After a rare day off on Friday, the Cardinals will open a quick two-game trip to Oakland on Saturday night before heading to Los Angeles for three games. Dakota Hudson will get the start in the opener against the A’s.\nFollow Rob Rains on Twiter @RobRains"}

Goals by Christina Bellero (2) and Taylor Elliott gave the Riders the win over New Jersey Copa FC in their inaugural game of the new semi-pro women’s league.\nThe Rough Riders opened the score in the 16th minute when Bellero ran onto a ball over the top from captain, Alexa Schneider, beating the keeper 1v1 to score the first ever goal in UWS history. Bellero, a freshman at St. John’s University, received the ball about 30 yards out and slotted the ball low in the corner after a long run with the ball at her feet.\nThe Riders continued the scoring in the 25th minute with some excellent wide play. Taylor Elliott ran in between two defenders to volley a cross from Laura Gomez into the back of the net. Gomez and Elliott spent much of the first half switching roles efficiently, from center forward to wing, keeping the Copa FC defense guessing in the process.\nThe second half opened the way first finished when Bellero received a ball in between the full-back and center-back, scoring on a powerful shot against freshly substituted keeper, Kristyn Shea. Bellero continued to be the Riders’ main antagonist in the second half, tucking in from wide areas with timely runs. Center-back Mikhaila Martinov made several timely interceptions and ensured that Rough Riders’ goalkeeper, Melissa Guglielmo, maintained her clean sheet.\nThe Rough Riders now travel to New Jersey for the same fixture on May22nd at 4:30pm.\n"}

Other qualifications include that other therapies, such as deep-brain stimulation surgery, are not feasible for the patient.\nEarlier this month, a group of residents in Hope launched a website, after they found out a former teacher suffering from Parkinson's was unable to afford the $60,000-per-year therapy that isn't currently covered through PharmaCare.\nRELATED: Mansfield’s Parkinson’s spur residents to launch Duodopa for BC website\nThe website encourages people to write letters to their MLA, Lake and the person in charge of PharmaCare, Barbara Walman, asking them to support public funding of the therapy.\nMeanwhile, Lake is in discussions with AbbVie, the manufacturer of Duodopa, to explore ways to make the product more affordable.\n@ashwadhwani\nashley.wadhwani@bpdigital.ca\nLike us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter."}

{"text": "“Globalization” is understood to mean major increases in worldwide trade and exchange in an increasingly open, integrated, and borderless international economy. There has been remarkable growth in such trade and exchanges, not only in the traditional sense of international trade in goods and services, but also in exchanges of currencies, in the movement of capital, in technology transfer, in people moving through international travel and migration, and in international flows of information and ideas.\nWhether one sees globalization as a negative or as a positive development, it must be understood that it has clearly changed the world system and that it poses both opportunities and challenges. Globalization can refer to large-scale transnational processes occurring today at accelerated rates, due to information and communication technologies, and with extremely uneven effects, due to new and continuing inequalities. The uneven effects of globalization assume diverse forms and manifest in intersecting and politically consequential structural hierarchies.Politicizing globalization necessarily involves both specifying how particular categories of people are differentially affected by globalization and analyzing how these patterns of differentiation are exacerbated, alleviated, or complicated by global processes. The uneven effects of globalization which are manifested in structural hierarchies such as gender, ethnicity/race, class, and nation, have long and variously entwined histories.\nTheir legacies of masculinism, racism, classism, and colonialism deeply shape the practices, uneven effects, and naturalization of neoliberal globalization. In other words, hierarchies that are internalized and institutionalized are already available for deployment in support of neoliberal objectives at the same time as this availability works to obscure the significance, perpetuation, and intensification of inequalities today.\nPatriarchy’s enduring legacy is a binary construction of gender that casts women and femininity as essentially different from and inferior to men and masculinity. Corollary stereotypes of devalued femininity and valued masculinity map onto the gendered dichotomy of public and private that locates women and feminized work/activities in the family/household as unpaid, unskilled, reproductive , and “natural” – in contrast to over valorized masculine activities in the public sphere, cast as paid, skilled, productive, and “political.”\nThis obscures the value and significance of “women’s work” and effectively denies most women access to valorized positions in any sphere. Compared to rich country locations, non-elite women in developing countries are especially gender-disadvantaged with regard to accessing education, skills-training, credit, and control over resources. Compared to men, neoliberal restructuring of the state everywhere is more damaging for women because women are more dependent on the state for relatively secure employment and for public services in support of individual and family well-being.\nConcerning the hierarchies of race/ethnicity, the legacy of racism is inextricable from histories of slavery, indentured labor, imperialism, and gender ordering. “Northern” countries reaped the economic advantages of exploiting un-free workers and colonies. They justified this exploitation and subordination in part by constructing ontologies of racial difference and ideologies of social Darwinism that continue to naturalize hierarchies of race, nation, and class and to deny denigrated groups equal access to global resources.\nBy attributing feminized characteristics such as lack of reason, agency, skills, and self-control, to the colonized, and invoking the natural or God-given order of male over female, these accounts effectively naturalized multiple, intersecting hierarchies. Struggles against ethnic/race hatred continue within some countries but are less visible at the global level. Moreover, the demonization of ethnic and racialized groups appears to be increasing, for example in anti-Islamic and anti-immigrant movements.\nHierarchies among nations reflect international divisions of labor, flowing from colonialism and the north’s continued domination of wealth, advanced technologies, decision-making power, and “rule setting” in the old and new world order. Neocolonialism perpetuates patterns of inequality, with some upward movement of newly industrialized countries and a decline for least developed countries. Key indicators are control of wealth, distribution of average income, and welfare of populations; evidence in regard to these indicators confirms a widening gap between the richest and poorest countries since 1970.\nDistribution is especially uneven with respect to communications infrastructure, research and development capacity, foreign direct investment, and access to credit. Regarding redistributive mechanisms, neoliberal policies reject “inward-looking” strategies which are protection of local industries and public provisioning, that target domestic needs, rich countries have reduced already meager flows of official development assistance (ODA); and the climate of neoliberalism has effectively silenced earlier campaigns to address North – South inequities.\nThe development of capitalism has institutionalized internal and international divisions of labor and class that for the most part are deepened by neoliberal globalization. Specifically, the vast majorities of the poor are women, especially ethnic/racially stigmatized women, and people in developing countries. The global elite of the super-rich is ethnically/racially diverse, comes from both rich and poor countries, and is primarily male. Income inequality has increased within and between countries, with variations due to welfare state commitments, positioning in the world economy, and selective foreign support of developing countries.\nRestructuring in general has meant an expansion of opportunities for high-end workers with valued technological and professional skills typically “white” and male, a decline in real income and job security for mid-range skilled workers typically men, and an increase in insecure, low-paying work for un- and semi-skilled workers typically women, minorities, and migrants. Class significantly determines access to education and acquisition of valued skills for all groups and reproduces domination of valued jobs and power by those with gender and race advantage. Trade union movements have lost power, seem ill-prepared to address structural changes in the workforce, and are not broadly enough based, domestically or internationally.\nDeveloping countries differ significantly but all are shaped by their insertion in the global organization of production, the availability of valued natural resources, and their level of infrastructural development. Declining terms of trade have hurt non-energy primary commodity producers, while a shift of manufacturing to selected developing countries has expanded job opportunities, with women preferred for labor-intensive work. Contraction of state spending has eroded access to public educational opportunities and widespread deterioration across the world in public health, public housing and public transport has tended to impact more heavily on the ‘lower’ rather than the ‘higher’ classes.\nNeoliberalism as the global regime, embodied in the formidable “rule setting” powers of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, World Trade Organization (WTO), has favored further concentration of class advantages. Initially in developing countries through structural adjustment policies, and increasingly in developed countries, neoliberal reforms have constrained redistributive efforts and imposed tight fiscal policies without, however, clamping down on what in effect amounts to tax evasion by the wealthy through offshore finance facilities.\nIn summary, the uneven effects of globalization are well documented and socially embodied in hierarchies of gender, ethnicity/race, class, and nation. The historical legacies of masculinism, racism, classism, and colonialism continue to be materialized in stark inequalities, structured especially by differential access to valued resources, skills, and working conditions.\nReductions in public spending driven by neoliberal policies disproportionately hurt women and the poor, especially those of stigmatized races/ethnicities and/or living in developing countries. Global regimes continue to favor the interests of rich countries and elites who are advantaged by gender, race, and nationality.\nMovements for social justice and equality are increasingly marginalized or silenced by neoliberal policies and ideologies that undercut commitments to public/collective welfare and deny the viability of alternative strategies. In effect, globalization under neoliberal principles exacerbates the gap between over- and under-valorized individuals and nations, even as the rhetoric of neoliberalism obscures that polarization."}
{"text": "Children’s liturgy learning\nArchdiocesan workshops on liturgy for children\nSue Ryan\n9 November 2011\nWorkshops on children’s liturgy in the archdiocese this year have attracted a great deal of interest among those who work with children at Mass but struggle to understand the Church’s thinking.\nIn the 1963 Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy (14) the Bishops of the Second Vatican Council named the primary goal of the liturgical renewal as the full, conscious and active participation of all the faithful in the liturgy.\nIn 1973 the Congregation for Divine Worship issued the Directory for Children’s Masses to promote the participation of young children in the liturgy. This gives permission (#17) to celebrate the Liturgy of the Word with children during Sunday Mass.\nThis year the Archdiocesan Pastoral Services Unit has run four workshops where those involved in the Children’s Liturgy have been able to learn more about the role of the Liturgy of the Word in the development of children’s spirituality.\nThe workshops also show how the signs, symbols and actions of the Mass can be used to speak to the senses, so that children can experience the Mass more fully.\nThe workshop resources are interactive to support children’s experience of prayer, of listening to the scriptures and of understanding more fully the messages from the gospels. Liturgy of the Word enables children to experience the true nature of liturgy because they have an opportunity to speak and act out, the links they see between the gospel story and the events and relationships that are part of their lives.\nWorkshops, for those involved in the Ministry of Children’s Liturgy of the Word, will be held throughout 2012, before each liturgical season.\nImages: Right: Noel De Luna from Titahi Bay, Cecilia Ross and Gillian Dudfield-Hendren from Mt Victoria.\nAbove: Pamela Gibbs from Levin, Pat Gee from Karori and Diana Evans from Waiwhetu."}
{"text": "DES.\"\nBoth candidates had previously criticized the raids, which first became public when The Washington Post published a story about the plans just before Christmas.\nThe White House defended the policies Friday. Obama spokesman Josh Earnest said the raids reflected the administration's top priorities for deportation — people with criminal convictions and people caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. But critics said the searches were ill-timed and disruptive for families.\nOffering support for comprehensive immigration reform at the Putting Families First Presidential Forum, Sanders and O'Malley also slammed Republican front-runner Donald Trump over his statements about Muslims. O'Malley, a former governor of Maryland, called Trump an \"immigrant-bashing carnival barker.\"\nSanders, a U.S. senator for Vermont, said he would \"do everything I can to stand up to the Donald Trumps of the world and their bigotry and their xenophobia.\"\nFormer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leads the polls in the leadoff caucus state, with Sanders coming in second and O'Malley lagging far behind. Clinton did not attend the forum.\nIn a statement released after the plan became public, Clinton spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa said Clinton \"believes the United States should give refuge to people fleeing persecution. ... She believes we should not be conducting large-scale raids and roundups that sow fear and division in our communities.\"\nClinton has campaigned heavily in Iowa, but some in the crowd of liberal activists were not pleased that she did not join them. At one point some people began to chant \"Where is Clinton?\"\nSanders and O'Malley both offered a variety of proposals to support the middle class. O'Malley pledged to increase federal investment in transportation and affordable housing. Sanders said he'd like to see basic banking services offered at post offices to help people avoid predatory lending."}
{"text": "As I have complained about before, (okay, who loves knowing how do to links?), I live in a big, stretched-out city. Therefore, my 16-mile trek to and from work takes an hour and 45 minutes round-trip.\nI have lived in other cities where you can, say, take the bus or a ferry to get to and fro, and somehow sitting placidly on public transportation is less awful than crawling down a freeway at 11 miles an hour. Okay, I am not literally crawling, altho there are some days where that might take less time. Remember that scene in Office Space where the guy is stuck in traffic and the old man with the walker is getting down the sidewalk faster than the guy is moving in his car?\nHow funny of a movie was Office Space? And it stars the guy who went on to play Berger in Sex and the City.\nAnyway, so for months now Marvin Gardens and I have discussed moving closer to my job. His job has weird hours, including two weekends a month, so commuting is not as much of an issue for him, as traffic isn't awful here at 6:30 a.m. on a Saturday. That is just about the ONLY time it isn't awful: I know someone who moved away from here after it took her an hour to move one mile one busy night.\nHave I established that traffic is awful? But as I have also mentioned, moving closer to my workplace means more expensive rent. So, the three-bedroom little house we have here would cost twice as much.\nSo we'd have to trade some of the room we have, and we'd certainly not have a backyard anymore. Is that worth it for the extra hour and 15 minutes a day I'd get at home?\nThe other good thing about moving closer to work is that living over there is expensive for a reason: you are right by the ocean, trendy stores, excellent yoga, eyelash perming places, all the things I love when I can spend. Here, there isn't much. Let's face it: it's the suburbs. I got Target and the YMCA over here. And driving to all that good stuff on weekends is -- again -- hideous, traffic-wise.\nAnd finally, since we are not spending this year, we technically would not be allowed to spend the $5,987,655 landlords require for a security deposit. So we'd be breaking our rules.\nSo that's today's dilemma. I have the feeling everyone who DOESN'T live here will say, \"Oh, stay put\" and those whose souls have been sucked out by their commute will say \"By all means, go!\"\n4 comments:\nThough I do not live anywhere near L.A., I can attest to the better quality of life I experienced by cutting my commute from 1.5 hours EACH WAY - 3 hours a day in my f##king car, to a mere 40 minutes a day. The money you save through gas, alone, might justify moving closer to work.\nBy the way, do you know who this is? Can you tell?\nNo, anonymous, I do not know who you are, but I love the fact that you signed in as Anonymous then want to be identified. ;-)\nGive me a hint!\nOkay. Hold on. Eyelash PERMING? WTH??? Oh, and love your linking capabilities. You're getting to be a regular ole blogging pro! ;-)\nAs far as moving closer to work, that sure is a hard call. I don't commute at all, and we moved to the country so we could have more space, but my husband's commute is still under 45 minutes and is all backroads so traffic isn't an issue.\nI say move!!! It sounds like this other area has so much more to offer.\nIf you shaved your head like Brit...you could save on shampoo. Just a thought."}

{"text": "SINGAPORE: \"Mr Zhang\", a construction worker in his twenties, recalled how a doctor at a private hospital refused to give him more than one day of medical leave for fracturing his finger about five months after arriving in Singapore. The doctor's blunt explanation was that it was because he was a migrant worker.\n\"He said: 'You've been here for less than a year, so you don't understand the situation. If I give you medical leave, you might be forcefully repatriated by your employer'.\"\n\"Think carefully, I just don't want you to do anything foolish and get yourself in trouble,\" the doctor advised.\n\"I believed him, because in my hometown the medical profession is a sacred one. I respected the profession from the bottom of my heart,\" the Chinese national said.\nAccording to Mr Zhang, the hospital even \"guaranteed\" that his company would pay him, whether or not he could actually work during the two weeks of \"light duty\" prescribed following the day of his surgery. However, he has yet to see a cent of this compensation.\nMr Zhang shared his predicament with Channel NewsAsia, while sitting in the office of non-governmental organisation HealthServe, which provides subsidised healthcare and other support for migrant workers.\nThree other migrant workers nodded somberly as Mr Zhang told his story. They too, had similar tales and agreed to share them with Channel NewsAsia on the condition of anonymity for fear of hurting their cases against their employers or their future employment opportunities.\n\"Mr Li\" said he was given two days of medical leave for a shattered knee, while \"Mr He\" and \"Mr Huang\", who both work for the same company, told Channel NewsAsia they were given one day medical leave each, just for the day of their surgeries, after suffering fractures for an arm and a leg respectively.\nStaying in Singapore on Special Passes from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) while they are treated for their injuries, the workers said they are no longer receiving salaries and go to HealthServe daily to meet their basic needs: Food, medicine and companionship.\n\"IT HAPPENS SO OFTEN, WE SOMETIMES DON'T BOTHER ASKING\": NGOS\nThe issue of migrant workers given inadequate medical leave came under the spotlight last week when Raffles Hospital doctor Dr Wong Him Choon was suspended for certifying a foreign construction worker with a fractured hand was fit to return to work the day after his surgery.\nWhile the case may have grabbed headlines, there are more like it that have yet to be resolved, NGOs focusing on migrant worker rights told Channel NewsAsia.\nThe Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (HOME), which initiated the complaint against Dr Wong, estimates that it sees between 15 to 30 cases of migrant workers given inadequate days of medical leave in a year. HOME's executive director Jolovan Wham said this was a problem he had observed since 2007.\nAnother rights group, Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2), executive committee member Debbie Fordyce said that of more than 100 injured workers that approach TWC2 every month, most of them would have had been given inadequate medical leave.\n\"I would say that it happens so often that we sometimes don't even bother asking about it,\" she said.\nMs Fordyce also pointed out that the workers that would approach TWC2 for assistance would mostly have already lodged a work injury claim.\n\"We can assume that there are many more people that haven't been able to lodge a work injury claim because they've been given very short medical leave, or they may well have been repatriated before they could do anything about it.\"\nShe suggested that the underestimation of medical leave required affected not just the injured workers' chances of recuperation, but could also have financial repercussions.\n\"All of the people that we see have left their dormitories because of a variety of reasons resulting from the lack of goodwill from their employers – maybe attempted repatriation or forcing them out of the dorm – and they will depend on their medical leave wages for support.\"\nHealthServe sees about 60 to 70 workers every year that had been previously treated by doctors but given inadequate medical leave, casework manager Jeffrey Chua said. This is about a third of 200 to 250 workplace injury cases the group sees in a year, he added.\nThe NGO's communications manager, Nhaca Le Shulze, said the cases usually involve \"a fracture or an operation, and the workers are usually given zero to one or two days of medical leave\".\nAccording to MOM guidelines, it is a must for employers to report workplace accidents if the medical leave given is more than three days, whether consecutive or not, or if the worker is hospitalised for at least 24 hours.\nA volunteer doctor at the HealthServe clinic, Dr Shawn Vasoo, noted that the length of medical leave given was a \"judgement call\", but said certain cases seen at the NGO's clinics did make some doctors wonder if it had anything to do with helping employers avoid reporting workplace injuries.\nThe associate consultant at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) added: \"Some of the medical certificates might be legitimate, but we do see, anecdotally, conditions that in our experience should ordinarily warrant a longer period.\"\nWE'RE NOT AFTER ANYTHING , JUST OUR BASIC RIGHTS: WORKERS\nHealthServe has three clinics that provide subsidised healthcare for migrant workers, staffed by 80 volunteer doctors each on duty an average of once a month. It also has 200 active volunteers including pharmacists, nurses, housewives and teachers that provide a range of support services for foreign workers, according to chairman and co-founder Dr Goh Wei Leong.\nWhen Channel NewsAsia visited the main clinic at Geylang on a rainy Wednesday evening (May 18), there were already about 15 to 20 workers milling outside at 7pm, opening time. At the reception area, some volunteers manned the pharmacy while others helped workers fill in registration forms or took their temperature. Two doctors were available for consultation.\nThe four workers Channel NewsAsia spoke to were initially treated by private doctors, but have since stopped working while being treated at restructured hospitals, which they approached for second opinions on the advice of case workers and friends.\nWhen Mr Zhang went to the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) for a second opinion, the doctor told him that his finger could be infected so badly he might have to amputate it. He got 75 days of medical leave in total for the injury, a world apart from the one day he was initially given.\nMr Li, a stout, spirited man with a crew cut, showed Channel NewsAsia two round scars on his knee, where surgeons from TTSH had drilled holes for an operation to fix his shattered knee.\nHe fell down a ladder at a construction site last December, and five months later, still needs a crutch to walk.\n\"When I was first injured, my boss told me: 'Singapore's healthcare system is too lousy. You better go back to China to get it treated, it'll get better faster.'\"\nBut he refused, and his employer took him to a private hospital where he was given two days of medical leave.\nIn desperation after numerous delays in getting treatment, he called the police on his employers. After this, his employers immediately took him to TTSH. This was three weeks after he fell, Mr Li said.\nMr He said he hurt both his arm and head in a fall at work last September, but the private hospital his employer brought him to gave him only one day of medical leave after surgery on his arm. He was also told his head was \"fine\".\nWhen the pain became unbearable, Mr He went to SGH on his own to get checked, and doctors immediately gave him seven days of medical leave for his fractured arm. They later advised him to stay in hospital for observation after he complained of continuing head pains, more than a week after the accident. However his employers refused to pay for the treatment of his head ailment, saying that it had not been reported as a work injury and the company had no obligation to cover it.\nMr Huang, who had fractured his leg, said his manager went as far as threatening that if he stayed in the hospital beyond the day of his surgery, the company would make him pay a penalty of S$1,000.\n\"I was too scared to stay, even though the nurses said I should be hospitalised when my leg kept hurting even after painkillers and injections. But I'm injured and they still want to make me pay. I was scared.\"\nWhen asked if they would go back to their employers if they had recovered enough to go back to work, the workers unanimously said \"no way\". \"They are too evil as human beings,\" Mr Huang said. Mr Zhang added that he had heard of cases where after getting injured, workers who had gone back to work were repatriated soon after.\n\"You may have recovered but there might still be complications ... So the employers make up reasons like saying 'You're lazy, you're bad at your job' to send you back,\" said Mr Zhang.\nBut they said they had no thoughts of bringing the matter to court because it would take too long and the cases ultimately might not be resolved.\n\"I read the case about Dr Wong and it's very similar to mine,\" said Mr Zhang. \"But we're not after anything. We just want our basic rights to be respected, to get back what we're owed so we can survive.\"\nMr Huang added: \"We're looking at the most basic levels of needs as people here. If they would provide for our most basic needs, we wouldn't even want to say anything.\"\nWORKERS OFTEN DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO OWN MEDICAL INFORMATION: NGOs\nThe NGOs said one major problem in obtaining a just outcome for workers was that many were not given full access to information about their own medical conditions and the medical leave they had been given.\n\"The doctors don't issue the medical certificates to them,\" HOME's Mr Wham said. \"They are given to employers and when the workers ask the employers, the employers don't tell them anything, so they are also left in the dark.\"\nThis happened to Mr Zhang who was under the impression that he was on 15 days' paid medical leave after his surgery, and did not show up for work for a week after he was discharged.\nHe only found out this was not the case when a supervisor told him to go to the office to give a statement on how the accident happened for company records and a colleague helped translate the attached medical report from English.\nHealthServe's Mr Chua said the workers are usually accompanied by their employers, during which time they are often not allowed to say anything. The account of the accident comes from the employer. \"Sometimes they even tell the worker to shut up,\" he said.\nAccording to Mr Wham, the doctors in many of these cases were not only from hospitals but were also often private practitioners.\nMs Fordyce agreed, adding that many of the workers were taken to company clinics within the shipyards they worked at or small private clinics where employers could dictate the number of days of medical leave; tell the doctors not to give medical certificates, or insist they give the workers light duty instead.\nThese clinics that serve almost entirely migrant workers, are \"well aware of the system and ... of the benefit to the employer to give fewer days\", she said.\n\"MAKING A LOT OF NOISE\" TO MAKE PROGRESS\nAt the time that HOME started pursuing the case against Dr Wong in 2011, it had seen a \"surge\" in the number of such cases. This was what spurred the NGO to \"fight tooth and nail\" to push to take up the issue, Mr Wham said.\nHowever, a key challenge in such cases is finding doctors who are willing to testify. To get around this, HOME has contemplated civil claims but found itself in a bind as its lawyers advised that it was difficult to get independent witnesses.\nAsked why he thought that the case against Dr Wong succeeded when others failed, Mr Wham said: \"We started to make a lot of noise about it, and we just filed complaint after complaint ... I was just telling my colleagues: 'Let's just file until they scream!'\"\n\"I had almost given up, I thought they weren't going to do anything. On the SMC website it says it takes six to nine months, but this took five years. When I finally got the lawyers, I could hardly remember the case anymore.\"\nHe added that coverage in the media could also have caused the issue to be taken more seriously.\nHowever, when asked about why action was only taken on Dr Wong's case this year, the SMC told Channel NewsAsia that the cases that take a longer time are \"not straightforward\".\nA spokesperson explained the process that takes place after a complaint is lodged: An independent complaints committee is formed to investigate the complaint, and will gather evidence, including getting expert opinions where appropriate, before making a decision. Time is needed for this, SMC said.\nFurthermore, if the committee refers the matter to a formal inquiry by a disciplinary tribunal, parties will instruct lawyers, and the various parties will review all the documents and prepare for the hearing, which will again take time, the Council added.\nAs to why this case was taken up in particular when HOME said it has lodged other complaints to no avail, SMC said each case is assessed on its own merits.\n\"Some cases may be dismissed for lack of strong evidence of wrongdoing and others may be given a warning. However if the case is considered by the independent complaints committee to be serious enough to merit disciplinary action in a formal inquiry as in this instance, it will be referred to a disciplinary tribunal,\" it said.\nHOME said it is currently pursuing other similar cases with the SMC and had secured tribunal hearings against two other doctors, but declined to disclose details so as to avoid compromising proceedings.\nNOT PAINTING ALL DOCTORS WITH THE SAME BRUSH\nHealthServe chairman, Dr Goh, a private practitioner himself, said he believed that most doctors try to give medical leave that is appropriate. \"We trust the judgment of the first doctor that sees the patient. We honour that. That's why we write in to the doctors to seek clarification ... Usually they're quite helpful.\"\nIn some cases, after HealthServe reached out to them, the doctors even revised the days of \"light duty\" given to full medical leave, Dr Goh added.\nTWC2's Ms Fordyce also stressed that by speaking out against errant doctors, the NGOs were not trying to \"paint all doctors by the same brush\".\nThe long-term Singapore resident said there should be greater attention and scrutiny placed on \"a small number of clinics and hospitals that are guilty of this\".\nAnd in cases where TWC2 suspects workers are given an unfair number of days of medical leave, it often directs the workers to restructured hospitals.\n\"I would say that the doctors at restructured hospitals understand that 'This person is not able to work', and they are less likely to listen to what the employer says or follow the employers' instructions about issuing medical leave ... My personal feeling is that the doctors in those hospitals are very professional and very attentive to the needs of their patients.\"\nShe added: \"Migrant workers being such a large population within Singapore, and suffering injuries at a much higher rate than the average Singaporean, should really receive greater consideration.\""}

{"text": "The water contamination crisis in Flint, Michigan has made nationwide news in the past two months but has been an ongoing problem for nearly two years. Between the nationwide scramble to donate clean water, the ongoing questioning of government officials involved in the crisis, and the effort to provide medical support to impacted citizens, the root of the disaster comes down to the failure to treat the Flint river with a specific chemical. The situation was exacerbated by a failure to take the problem seriously for over a year. Now, the city will be feeling the effects of these failures for a long time to come.\nThe city of Flint, facing financial stress, opted to save money by switching the city’s drinking water supply from the Detroit Water and Sewage Department (DWSD) to the Karegnondi Water Authority (KWA), which supplies water from Lake Huron. Given that the KWA project was not expected to be finished until 2016, the city decided to temporarily adopt the Flint River as a water source, from April 2014 until the KWA system opened, a move that was projected to save $5 million.\nAlmost immediately, citizens began to raise concerns about the color, smell, and taste of the water. In August, after coliform bacteria were found in the water, city officials advised residents to boil their water in order to remove contaminants, and reiterated the suggestion in September. A month later, General Motors reported that they would no longer use Flint river water for their engines after their pipes had begun to rust. In January 2015, the city discovered that pollutants were found in excessive levels in the water, and days later, elevated lead levels were discovered for the first time. In February, a Flint mother contacted the Chicago Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) after her son developed rashes all over his body, and an EPA water expert began an investigation.\nThroughout this affair, Flint public officials were well aware of citizens’ concerns. Governor Rick Snyder allocated $2 million to improve Flint’s water quality, the EPA expressed their concern about lead contamination, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) reported that they were monitoring lead and copper levels in the water, and the city began the process of switching back to Detroit water, while advising people to only drink, cook, and make baby formula with water from the cold tap. Yet at the same time, officials adamantly maintained that Flint’s drinking water was safe and within all environmental regulations. The MDEQ dismissed the EPA investigator as a “rogue employee” after he reported on the danger, and the Health and Human Services Department stated that rising lead levels were just following a seasonal trend. It wasn’t until October 2015 that a public health emergency was officially announced, several MDEQ officials resigned, and the city of Flint switched back to using DWSD water. However, fixing the problem was not so simple; the lead pipes in Flint had already been damaged from the river water, and in the same way that a window is more easily shattered once cracked for the first time, Flint pipes have continued to leach lead despite carrying less corrosive water. On January 5, 2016, Governor Snyder formally declared a state of emergency.\nDaniel Giammar, a chemical engineering professor at Washington University, told Frontiers that, unlike the Detroit water, the Flint River water was not treated with orthophosphate (a corrosion inhibitor) and that chemical difference was what made the water too corrosive for the aging Flint pipes to handle. “These lead pipes have been equilibrating with one particular water chemistry for [a long time],” Giammar said, explaining that when the water changed, the pipes were unfit to handle it. “We have lead pipes in St. Louis. Our water chemistry is not corrosive towards them … [the water chemistry] is almost unchanged since 1904” Giammar remarked and mentioned that if St. Louis were to change the pH or alkalinity of its water, it would be important to test the supply before implementing the new water system: “They should have optimized for corrosion control when they made the switch, and they didn’t.”\nThe lack of candor from Michigan officials regarding the magnitude of the crisis will make it very difficult for the citizens to regain trust in the state government, and the costs of fixing the problem and treating the damage will be significant. “I think it’s going to be six months to a year until lead concentrations are back below regulatory level” Giammar estimated, “and it’s going to take them forever to restore customer confidence.”\nHowever, the most severe consequences of this disaster will be felt by the children of Flint who were exposed to the hazardous water. Children are particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning, as it damages early development of the brain and nervous system. Many children continue to be affected by lead in paint, toys, and furniture. Lead exposure has been linked to lower IQ, antisocial behavior, and poor performance in school. According to Giammar, no level of lead exposure is safe. Since the city of Flint switched their water source in April 2014, the proportion of children with blood lead levels above the alarming 5 micrograms per deciliter has doubled. Many of these children are likely to be impaired for life, and when factoring in the potential costs of special education, increase in crime, and lost economic productivity due to lower potential, the true costs of this crisis skyrocket. The World Health Organization cites an analysis that estimates the cost of lead poisoning in the United States at $43 billion per year.\nThe city of Flint will soon be able to restore their water quality. However, some citizens will be suffering the effects of the crisis long after the river is clean. Flint leadership failed to properly test and treat the Flint river water prior to distribution, and many of the people who were exposed to the lead-contaminated water may be permanently crippled. Hopefully the situation in Flint will serve as a reminder to cities that aim to change water sources that proper testing and retesting can save lives and prevent public health emergencies. As Professor Giammar advises, “[a]ssume the worst before you know that things are safe.”\n'Get the Lead Out: The Failure of Flint' has no commentsBe the first to comment this post!"}

{"text": "Separate names with a comma.\nDiscussion in 'DIRECTV Programming' started by jamieh1, Aug 27, 2012.\nWhat other provider offers ST?\nWhen you call, do you ask for retention? (By saying 'cancel' at the menu prompt?)\nI didn't say other providers offer ST, I said other providers offer NFL Red Zone channel. Directv's Red Zone channel is different, but they both serve the same purpose.\nExcept its not Directv that is cutting off the channel, ESPN is....so I guess you could try to get ESPN to pay for your ST subscription.\nI know, you said you wanted the NFL to allow DirecTV to offer the RZC as a stand-alone like other providers. But since other providers only offer the RZC, to say they offer it as a stand-alone product isn't a fair comparison.\nCalled today to cancel the HD Extra Pack. Rep asked if I was interested in ST. I said no, but would consider the Red Zone channel. He said he didn't think they offered that, but would transfer me to someone else. Next person didn't think so either, but also transferred me. Third person said he knew it could be done, but he couldn't do it and sent me on another transfer. The fourth person, thanked me for being a valuable customer and told me she could set me up with ST Max for $18 per month for 4 months. I told her I didn't want to increase my bill, so she offset it with a $15 credit per month for 15 months and another $10 credit per month for 12 months. I had to agree to a 1 year contract. Fine.\nSo, getting the full ST Max, and I'm saving $7 per month for the next 4 months, saving $25 per month for the 8 months after that, and saving another $10 per month for the 6 months after that. Altogether, I'm not only getting ST Max, but also saving a total of nearly $300 all for a 1 year contract extension.\nSounds like a winner!\nI am well aware that ESPN is cutting off their 3D programming and it has nothing to do with NFLST Redzone channel so no need to waste your time with a nasty moronic comment!\nIf you want to talk about ESPN 3D then search and revive the old thread about it, But I do agree that RZC should be a standalone channel. Maybe that was part of the deal even though it's not the NFL RZC.\nI don't think this is the way anymore(saying \"Cancel\" at the prompt that is....). Twice today I tried, but was sent to a regular CSR both times....I then asked to be transferred to \"retention\". 1st time was cut off, 2nd time finally put thru after lengthy delay. When I finally got to a rep, she was not very helpful and not as pleasant as most retention CSR's have been in the past.....Maybe times they are a changin'.....\nThey are making it harder to reach retention CSR's. You can try this instead and see if it works for you, since it worked for me. When you call, say \"promotions\". That sends you to a promotions CSR and they can offer things a regular CSR can't. You may have agree to a 1 yr commitment though. I received RZC free and NFL ST free, plus a $35 credit/mo for 12 months, in exchange for a 1 yr commitment that only extended my current commitment by a few months.\nThat's interesting because that's how I did it.\nMe too and she was very pleasant and very helpful.\nAs I stated in my post, this is the 1st time I've ever not been impressed with the CSR in retentions....I did try the \"Promotions\" at the prompt and I was quickly taken to that dept. and was helped by a very pleasant CSR and recv'd a nice deal on NHL CenterIce, which is the reason for all my calls today...\nYou're Welcome! wonder if you have something flagged on your account?\nI had to speak with Directv today regarding my account (was receiving 721 on some channels and a refresh wasn't working). After my problem was resolved I inquired as to receiving ST Redzone channel as a stand alone. Regular CSR transferred me to Retention. The regular Retention rep said she didn't have access to provide me with Redzone or ST for free so she said if you say the \"magic\" word I can transfer you to somebody who does. Naturally, I said, \"Supervisor please\". Once connected to a great supervisor named Kevin all went well. He stated that last year I received ST for free so my account was flagged this year. I told him I only cared to have Redzone and not all of the games. He stated that there was a promo for Redzone ala carte and he added it to my account. Took a bit of time, but I'm satisfed. The key was getting to the Retention supervisor. BTW I'm a $200+ a month customer with Premiere and have been with Directv since 1995. YMMV.\nNot sure how some are getting Redzone channel as a stand alone. That's all I'm really interested in. Tried calling a regular CSR - no help. Then tried the \"promotions\" route, but nothing doing there either. Both times I was told the only way to get that was by subscribing to the NFL Sunday Ticket Max at $59.99/month. That's way too much to pay for one channel.\nI don't know how they set it up for mine - once I got through (I used \"Cancel\" at the voice prompts), the CSR said at first that he didn't think he could do it, but went away for a bit then came back and said he could do it, no problem. We chatted a bit while he put things through (his mom is a teacher at the high school where my son went to school), and voila. I checked my account later and sure enough, it said Red Zone Channel special offer and no cost.\nI'm sure I'll find out if it really works next week. I enjoyed having the rest of the ST package, but RZC (or the ADD channel as my wife calls it) is all I care about (though I did like being able to glance at the Mix channel once every blue moon). I get pretty much what I need from the RZC."}

{"text": "Explanations have proved difficult for a trip by Cabinet Minister Tara Rivers to South Africa, accompanying an official Cayman Islands delegation to Johannesburg for a gathering of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association.\nIn a brief comment, Mary Rodrigues, chief officer at the Ministry of Education, Employment and Gender Affairs, would say only, “this was not something arranged through our ministry,” promising further details about Ms Rivers’s trip, which were not provided by press time Thursday.\nThe premier’s office declined to answer questions about what parliamentary or other business Ms Rivers might be conducting on behalf of the Cayman Islands government while she was in Johannesburg; who was paying – and how much – for the trip; and why no public announcement was made.\nThe three-member Legislative Department delegation comprises Speaker of the House Juliana O’Connor-Connolly in her official capacity as Cayman’s representative to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association; West Bay legislator and opposition leader McKeeva Bush; and Ms Rivers.\nNo one has indicated whether Ms Rivers attended the association sessions. The conference began Aug. 28 and was scheduled to finish Friday.\nMs Rivers’s trip to South Africa meant she was absent from this week’s sitting of the Legislative Assembly, the first substantive meetings the House has held since the May general elections.\nThe mystery surrounding Ms Rivers’s trip contrasts sharply with the announcement Thursday by the People’s Progressive Movement government that Cayman Islands Premier Alden McLaughlin and chief officer Jennifer Ahearn would leave Saturday for Gibraltar for a Sept. 8-11 “pre-meeting” of the Commonwealth’s Joint Ministerial Council, scheduled to convene in November in London.\nThe premier, with Ms Ahearn as adviser and assistant, will spend four days in the area, working with government chiefs from other British overseas territories “to exchange views on political and constitutional issues as they relate to the U.K. and its relationships with the overseas territories.”\nAccording to the PPM statement, the November Joint Ministerial Council gathering is scheduled to discuss “economic growth and jobs; protecting the environment; harnessing international support; and delivering better government, better education and stronger, healthier and safer communities.”\nAdditionally, the announcement detailed a second, post-Gibraltar visit by Mr. McLaughlin to Jersey, meeting Chief Minister Ian Gorst, following up discussions at a pre-Group of Eight meeting in London in June, “relating to … the action plans that were published by overseas territories and the crown dependencies.”\nThe statement went on to say that both Minister for Financial Services, Commerce and Environment Wayne Panton and Ministry Councilor Roy McTaggart would join Mr. McLaughlin in Jersey, while Ms Ahearn traveled to London.\nDespite the detail – and election pledges of transparency and openness – PPM officials declined any explanation of Ms Rivers’s absence, expenses or schedule in South Africa.\nAsked for a similar explanation, Suzette Ebanks, acting chief information officer at Government Information Services, the administration’s official marketing and communications arm, said she had known little about the trip.\n“We can only put out information that we are aware of,” she said. “We knew there was a delegation headed by the speaker and that acting ministers had come on board because others were on leave.\n“We will probably put out something when they come back,” she said.\nThe trio left Cayman on Aug. 26, and are due back this week.\nSo sad at a time when the country needs good leaders and positive role models. No wonder our children are at a loss. With both parents working 9 to 10 hours just to keep on top of the bills, our leaders say one thing but their actions are different! I reiterate an old Chinese proverb – Talk doesn’t boil rice.\nWhat’s the big deal? It’s not as if she will be spending out of control or using a government card to play at the casino. I know that will not happen because she has too much integrity for that so all this is silly. Why bring questions up about nothing that happened?\nAm I reading this message correctly about Ms. Rivers travel. I was most please to sse her apparently winning a seat although still shrouded in uncerainty. So am I to understand that having not got her feet firmly under the table she is already on the junket lark. Please tell me it is not so and that her principals remain unsullied!!"}
{"text": "Sub-Committee C (Chairman: the Earl of Cranbrook)\nhas decided to conduct an enquiry into European Union policy on\nbiodiversity, and in particular the state of implementation in\nthe Member States of the Directive on the Conservation of Wild\nBirds (79/409/EEC) and the Directive on the Conservation of Natural\nHabitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora (92/43/EEC). Reference will\nalso be made to the European Community Biodiversity Strategy,\non which a Communication by the Commission (COM(98)42) was adopted\nby the Council in June 1998; the Commission is required to produce\nbiodiversity action plans for specific sectors (e.g. agriculture)\nwithin two years and a substantive progress report by June this\nyear.\nThe 1979 Wild Birds Directive was implemented in\nUK legislation by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. This\nDirective requires the preservation of a sufficient diversity\nof habitats for all naturally occurring species of wild birds,\ncoupled with the designation of Special Protection Areas (SPAs)\nto conserve the habitats of certain rare species and migratory\nspecies. The 1992 Habitats and Species Directive aims at establishing\n`favourable conservation status' for habitat types and species\nof European interest, listed in detailed annexes, by the designation\nof Special Areas of Conservation (SACs). The UK transposed this\nDirective into national law by the Conservation (Natural Habitats\n&c.) Regulations 1994, without primary legislation. Together,\nthese two Directives are intended to result in the establishment\nof a coherent European ecological network of sites, to be known\nas Natura 2000. The first implementation report by Member States\nis due by 5th June 2000; thereafter, the EU Commission will review\nthe series and report by 5th June 2002.\nWritten evidence is invited by 4 May 1999,\nso that oral evidence can start to be taken that month. In particular,\nthe Sub-Committee would be interested in having views and information\non the following questions:\n1 Natura 2000 sites\ni. In relation to the objectives of these\nDirectives, and the required timetable, has there been adequate\nprogress in selecting and declaring SPAs and SACs in Member States\nof the European Union generally and in the UK in particular?\nii. Have the criteria for designation of\nsites and the underlying scientific rationale given rise to any\nproblems in practice?\niii. How effectively can a system based\non sites with designated boundaries respond to changing environmental\nconditions, whether natural or human-induced?\niv. Are there certain rare or migratory\nbirds, or habitats or species of European interest that are under-represented\nin the sites (on lists forwarded to the European Commission)?\nv. Is there sufficient representation of\nestuarine and marine habitats and species (including birds) in\nthe Natura 2000 series in UK, and in other Member States?\nvi. Are adequate measures in place in Member\nStates, the UK in particular, to protect the declared European\ninterest of sites, terrestrial and maritime?\n2 Biodiversity conservation\ni. Have the Directives been successful in\nimproving the conservation status of the species and habitats\nwhich they were intended to protect?\nii. Outside SPAs and SACs, has the legal\nprotection of listed habitats and species been adequate, and have\nMember States accorded sufficient priority to enforcing these\nmeasures?\niii. Do the Directives list all the key\nspecies and habitats which require special conservation measures,\nincluding maritime species and habitats, if the EU is to fulfil\nits obligations under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity?\n3 Implementation issues\ni. Has the UK Government been sufficiently\nactive in implementing the Directives, for example in monitoring\ndeclared sites and reporting as required?\nii. Is the role of the Commission in encouraging\ncompliance by Member States with the Directives sufficient? What\nobstacles have become apparent, and how could these be overcome?\niii. Are the obligations of competent authorities\nunder the Directives being adequately exercised in Member States,\nin particular in UK? Are conflicts emerging with regional or local\ndevelopment aspirations?\niv. Are the criteria for promoting sustainable\ndevelopment in designated sites coherent and defensible?\nv. Has the burden of meeting the requirements\nof the Directives fallen unfairly on particular Member States\nor groups in society? If so, how should this problem be addressed?\nvi. Have certain Member States been more\nsuccessful than others in implementing the Directives and, if\nso, what lessons can be drawn from this?\n4 Other policies\ni. Do other national policies (e.g. agriculture\nor transport) in the Member States, and in the UK in particular,\ngive sufficient consideration to biodiversity?\nii. Do the Commission (and other EU institutions,\nprojects and programmes) attach sufficient weight and priority\nto the Directives and to EU strategy for biodiversity when taking\ndecisions on funding?\niii. Are there any aspects of EU policy\nwhich run counter to the achievement of the Directives' objectives?\nIf so, what policy changes or formal processes should be considered\nto address such shortcomings?\n5 European Environment Agency\ni. Do the activities and responsibilities\nof the European Environment Agency, in support of Community biodiversity\npolicy, need to be extended or adapted in any respects?\nEvidence submissions should not exceed 4000 words\n(on about 6 sides of A4).

{"text": "I can remember a time when no one had really heard of Kate Middleton. We all had a vague notion that William had a long-term girlfriend; didn’t she have a poster of him on her bedroom wall when she was at school? Yes and there’d been that big break-up at one point, right? And didn’t the tabloids call her ‘Waity Katy’?\nThat was all before she flashed Diana’s engagement ring at the world, graced the aisle of Westminster Abbey with Alexander McQueen, unleashed her sister’s posterior onto the grateful British public and wafted her glossy, golden brown locks round our drizzly island. And of course, we mustn’t forget the latest development, the wonderful news we’d all been waiting for: the people’s princess finally fell pregnant.\nIf we now condense all that down, put the last two years of emotion, excitement, glamour and pride into one simple statement to explain what really accounts for our never-ending fascination with this pretty yet unremarkable young woman, what do we get? Well it’s simple, isn’t it? Kate is the girl living the fairytale. She is the commoner who won the heart of a prince. She is our modern-day, real-life Cinderella. So what exactly is my problem with her?\nI think what it comes down to is that she could be such a good role model. Many say she already is and the argument goes something like this. By marrying into the Royal Family, Kate Middleton has chosen a life in the public eye, a life ruled by public engagements, by primary school openings and charity visits, by foreign dignitaries and garden parties. An exhausting life? An often boring life? Certainly not an easy one, yet she carries it off effortlessly, always immaculately turned out and constantly smiling. An interested question here, a kind word there. She should be lauded for her efforts, held up as an icon of good grace as she has sacrificed any prospect of a career for herself or a normal existence. All for her love for the heir to the throne.\nExcept I don’t think she has made a sacrifice. I think she has made a choice. The Royal Family is moving into the 21st century; its various members haven’t just married commoners but made scandal (Prince Harry), dropped titles (Princess Anne’s children) and got divorced (erm…all of them). In the last few weeks, Kate’s unborn baby was given the right to inherit the throne ahead of any future brothers, should it turn out to be female. So why on earth should Kate Middleton, holder of a degree from one of the country’s leading universities, be denied a career? The answer is, of course, that she hasn’t been denied; she has chosen the life of a dutiful spouse over a career because she preferred it. That was her choice and she has an absolute right to do what she wants. But she could at least be a better role model in the life she’s chosen.\nLet me ask you this, have you ever heard Kate Middleton express a meaningful opinion? Actually, come to think of it, how often have you heard her voice at all? She is the ever-smiling presence on television screens and newspapers pages across the country every day. But curiously, she is also a silent one. When the aspects of her life that have been pored over again and again are her wedding and now her pregnancy, it makes one wonder what century we are living in.\nWhen Hilary Mantel recently remarked that “Kate seems to have been selected for her role of princess because she was irreproachable… without quirks, without oddities”, it caused quite the stir. Naturally, the media erupted in a frenzy of moralising indignation, defending poor and vulnerable Kate tooth and nail. Personally I recognised Mantel’s provocative point of view after reading the original transcript of her speech – which, I might add, it seems hardly any of the defending journalists had – I realised that Mantel hadn’t really attacked Kate at all, but rather our country’s treatment of royalty across the years. And she certainly had a point when she noted Kate’s mainstream image. If nothing else, Kate is certainly not controversial. Is that why we love her?\nWhat spoke louder than anything was Kate’s lack of response to Mantel’s comments. Did she care? Did the Royal Family stop her? Or did PR advise her to remain silent? Whatever the reason, she at least kept the moral high ground, and left it to the media to do the talking for her. I strongly suspect it was the latter and this I find very sad.\nSurely in this day and age a woman should be able to defend herself against criticism without fearing any comment will mar her perfect image? Kate is human after all and despite her smiling exterior, Mantel’s words must have stung. Defending herself would have shown a generation of teenagers and young women that it’s OK to fight back, to stand up for yourself. Instead she continued with her duties, shaking hands, exchanging small talk and, of course, smiling.\nI want to know Kate’s opinions on politics. I want to know what TV shows she watches, what books she reads, what inspires her. I want to know where she stands on arming the Syrian rebels, who she wanted to win Eurovision. She’s educated, she’s smart and for all we know she’s extremely nice. But that’s the thing, we don’t know because we’ve never heard her voice. I want Kate to take a stand on something, be it trivial or important.\nKate’s celebrity status could be put to such good use. She could follow Michelle Obama and choose to champion girls’ education or perhaps something completely different; the mistreatment of horses, climate change, food waste, sex education, anything! Because I bet, behind those pastel fascinators and that glorious hair, she has thoughts and feelings worthy of being given a voice, worthy of being heard."}
{"text": "I really enjoy spoken word. It’s entertaining and I acknowledge how much courage it takes to present one’s self in-front of a crowd only to grasp their attention by only with his/her voice. I also acknowledge how much influence spoken word is in hip-hop. Hip-hop is my favorite genre of music and most of hip-hop is spoken word but just with a beat behind it. I liked the film we watched on spoken word, Louder Than a Bomb (2011). It felt good seeing the kids making the best out of their situation, by coming to this class everyday and doing what it takes to preform at the spoken word event that was held. May sound obvious, but throughout watching Louder Than a Bomb, I learned that the amount of work one puts into something will always show at the end. I don’t know of any spoken word poets but I have seen some live throughout my life. Watching is one thing but like with most, seeing is its own thing. One of the things I remembered when I saw a live spoken word performance was not just the poet, but the audience’s reaction to the poet. The poet I saw put so much pain in his piece it had some individuals tearing up and most faces with a sense of sympathy."}

{"text": "A New York College Combines Application Whitelisting With Instant System Restore in a Layered Security Approach for Reliable Endpoint Protection\nby Dmitry Shesterin – 04/20/11\nThe North Country Community College in northeast New York state struggled with keeping staff computers always available and in perfect shape.\nFrequent malware infections and uncontrollably installed programs caused frequent computer downtime and configuration drift. The College was already using Faronics’ instant system restore solution Deep Freeze to lock down student computers. The endpoint protection solution for the staff computers was also provided by Faronics in form of a layered security approach. Faronics Anti-Executable ensures complete endpoint protection by scanning a computer’s hard drive and creating an application whitelist of all approved programs, thereby preventing unwanted or unauthorized code from ever executing or installing.\nDeep Freeze’ instant system restore represents the ultimate safety net of the layered security approach the College has pursued for complete endpoint protection. Any computer configuration changes are reset by Deep Freeze on restart.\nThe layered security approach delivers superior endpoint protection through an integrated application whitelisting and instant system restore solutions working together. Both layered security solutions are deployed and managed through Faronics’ desktop management solution Faronics Core, which is available for free and provides deployment, management and reporting capabilities for all Faronics products.\nThe endpoint protection from Faronics now saves the College IT staff approximately 15 to 20 hours a month, creating significant value and tangible Return on Investment.\n"}
{"text": "Deakin University has unveiled a mix of immersive reality, artificial intelligence (AI), IoT and predictive analytics technologies that its CIO and chief digital officer, William Confalonieri, says are the future of education.\nDeakin Genie, Scout IoT and augmented reality classes - which have been kept under wraps since last year - are all part of the work being done by the team in the Digital Future Lab.\n“We are investing heavily in technology because I believe that in the future - and not too distant future - my industry, in particular, is going to be dramatically changed, which is a consequence of a combination of technologies including smart agents, AI, augmented reality, and IoT (services that relate to location and proximity),” Confalonieri tells CIO Australia.\n“We are living in an age where one of the most important trends is ‘extreme personalisation,’ where we need to respond to customers based on their preferences, their personality traits, and on the places they want to go. We need to move our business to be extremely personal. And the only possible way to do that on a massive scale is to take a front-end technology approach.”\nConfalonieri sees the university of the future where students are at home with their augmented reality devices - and the AI agent will guide them through education, help them travel to places previously undiscovered and doing lab experiments.\n“That is the future of education. Certainly there will be some place for physical education as well - physical campuses - but that is probably not the most important delivery channel. But in those cases, IoT are going to be essential to the delivery of education. That is the final picture and why we are investing heavily in those technologies to get there first,” he said.\nDiscussing the latest work, he said one the “most ambitious” projects is Deakin Genie - a proactive smart agent for students which can respond, run actions, and provide advice.\n“It is a personalised, super smart student assistant, which is not only responsive, but also proactive,\" he said.\nIt is composed of a combination of technologies including chatbots, a mobile interface, artificial intelligence and a predictive analytics engine inside.\n“I have been working on a few quite disruptive things since last year, but keeping everything secret, since it is strong competitive advantage,” Confalonieri said. “Now I have everything working and I am starting to open it,” he said, explaining the next step with Deakin Genie is to go enterprise grade.\n“We have a working prototype, and it is in full development to take it to enterprise grade,” he said, adding the IT team is also working with teachers to determine the specific services required in the various faculties.\n“In March, we will be delivering the enterprise-grade Genie, which will be stronger and safer.\"\nThe university has also released the Scout IoT, a location-based service application, providing students with orientation of the campus, for example.\n“Scout IoT is quite sensitive because there are concerns in the market about privacy. The first thing I need to say is that this application is opt in. You can select what things you want to use. If you opt in to use all of the services of Scout, then the environment will react to you. Based on your location, your position, the screens are going to present information relevant to you. You are going to receive alerts or offers if you are walking next to the cafeteria, for example,” said Confalonieri.\nBoth the Deakin Genie and Scout IoT apps are integrated with the Deakin platform.\nAdditionally, augmented reality classes are now in full production with the School of Medicine already onboard and more to come, including optometry and architecture, Confalonieri said.\n“We are going to be working with other faculties, as well as medicine, but the intention was to prove that this is the way to go. We have evidence showing that the students are 70 per cent more confident now than before the augmented reality delivery.”\nThere are some important factors surrounding augmented reality, he said.\n“It is convenient. We have a floating, pumping heart for our students that they can use everywhere. They can use that application at home and continue to study and experiment at home with that application. There’s an improvement of the teaching process. They are now more confident. They believe they know much more than before thanks to being able to experiment with 3D models,” he said.\n“In the future, medical professionals, and many other disciplines, are going to be using augmented reality as a normal tool in their activities. Operations in the future are going to need augmented reality to be able to deal with the complexity of medicine in the future.”\nHe can’t stress enough the importance of adopting these types of immersive technologies.\n“The future of education is a combination of immersive reality AI, IoT and predictive analytics.”\nJoin the CIO Australia group on LinkedIn.

{"text": "JACKSONVILLE, FL (Ivanhoe Newswire/WTVM) -- One of the biggest demands in medicine today is hip replacements. But, a different kind of hip procedure, called Birmingham hip resurfacing, may be a good option for active men with arthritis.\nCoach Danny Witt loves pushing himself to stay fit while teaching kids tennis fundamentals.\nBut at 28, the tennis pro hated what he heard from his doctor. He learned to live with the pain of an arthritic right hip, but it kept getting worse.\nWitt says, \"It was like almost having a bad toothache but on a larger scale. At some point I had to get something done.\"\n\"Danny came to me with absolutely no range of motion in the hip. It was a square peg in a round hole, him trying to move his hip,\" says Brett Frykberg, MD, orthopedic surgeon at Jacksonville Orthopaedic Institute.\nAfter 16 years of worsening pain, Witt says 'enough' and went in for a hip resurfacing procedure recommended by his doctor for active males with good, strong bones.\n\"The pain I used to have, I've never experienced again,\" Witt says.\nIn this procedure, the femur is shaved off and then capped with metal hardware. Traditional hip replacement replaces the entire neck and head of the bone.\n\"The range of motion is much greater than probably anyone can do outside of a yoga instructor,\" Frykberg says.\nFor younger patients, like Witt, the surgery can be life changing. But it's not without risks.\n\"Those metal ions can cause issues later in life if the components aren't placed in the appropriate positions,\" Frykberg warns.\nDr. Frykberg says pick your surgeon carefully, make sure you're a good candidate for this technique, and then don't forget to stay active and follow up with your doctor.\n\"Everything is great now, I feel a lot younger than I was feeling about a year ago,\" Witt says.\nFor Danny Witt the benefits far outweigh the risks.\nDr. Frykberg says that this procedure is not great for women because it is thought that it requires stronger bones than women typically have and studies have shown that there have been higher cases of revisions in females."}

{"text": "Catholic bishops here said they oppose laws requiring priests to break the “seal of confession” when told of possible sexual abuse.\nThe Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, which represents the church’s senior leadership, said almost all the recommendations from a judicial inquiry into child sexual abuse in institutions including churches and schools are acceptable.\nBut the bishops rejected weakening the seal, which bars priests from revealing anything they learn while hearing confessions, reports WSJ.\nTrending: State By State – How Illegal Aliens Are Stealing America’s Future #IllegalAlien #immigration #politics #Trump #DeportThemAll\nIrish laws signed in 2015—though yet to take effect because of concerns about inaccurate allegations—require priests and other “mandated persons” to report child abuse. But in the U.S., the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled in 2016 that confession is “confidential communication” after an abuse victim sued a priest for failing to report what she had told him in confession as a minor.\nThe state government of South Australia says its proposed law, carrying fines of up to US$7,500, would bring priests into line with teachers, doctors and child-care workers. Other Australian states and territories also plan legislation.\nThe church holds the seal of confession to be inviolable, on pain of excommunication, and Holy See officials have urged the church in Australia to oppose legal changes targeting the confessional seal. Some Australian priests have said they would rather go to jail than break it.\nThey argue that mandatory reporting risks making children less safe by discouraging abusers from admitting crimes in the confessional. It is also impractical, they say, because priests often don’t know the identity of those confessing.\n“Refusing to remove the seal of confession is not because we regard ourselves as being above the law, or because we don’t value the safety of children as supremely important,” said Brisbane Archbishop Mark Coleridge, president of the conference, on Friday.\nAustralia’s five-year inquiry documented decades of widespread abuse of children in Catholic institutions. According to its final report, 7% of Catholic priests in Australia were accused of sexual abuse of children between 1950 and 2010, and 62% of allegations involving religious institutions were against the Catholic Church.\nOf the report’s 198 recommendations, Archbishop Coleridge said 98% are acceptable to the church. Those include being open to making celibacy voluntary, he said, saying some church laws “may have contributed to a heightened risk of child sexual abuse.”\nIn July the archbishop of Adelaide, Philip Wilson, said he would step down, after being convicted of concealing knowledge of child sexual abuse by another priest. He is appealing the conviction.\nNational and state lawmakers are discussing mandatory-reporting laws that can be applied uniformly across Australia. Lawyers for abuse survivors said the church’s intransigence on abuse allegations aired in the confessional means the government must act.\n“The Catholic Church have shown clearly today that they will not act on this important measure themselves,” said Michelle James, head of abuse law at Maurice Blackburn.\nPope Francis has declined to comment on a claim that he ignored sexual abuse allegations against a senior clergyman amid speculation conservative elements in the Catholic hierarchy are using the issue to mount a “putsch” to remove the Communist heretical pontiff.\nArchbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, a former Vatican envoy to the United States, on Saturday said he had told Francis of the allegations against prominent US cardinal Theodore McCarrick in 2013.\nBut rather than punish McCarrick, who was forced to resign last month, Vigano said Francis had lifted sanctions imposed on him by his predecessor pope Benedict XVI.\n“Corruption has reached the very top of the Church’s hierarchy,” Vigano said in an eleven-page letter published in the National Catholic Register and several conservative US Catholic publications.\nThe Pope adamantly refuses to address the allegation..\n against the Argentinian pontiff by conservatives in the Church.\nYou can read the entire letter by clicking HERE..\nMarxist supporters of the Pope’s heresy are panicking, fearing their “transformational” Pope is about to be deposed.\n“Make no mistake. This is a coordinated attack on Pope Francis,” said an editorial article on the website of the heretical Communist National Catholic Reporter weekly.\n“A putsch is afoot and if the US bishops do not, as a body, stand up to defend the Holy Father in the next 24 hours, we shall be slipping towards schism,” the author Michael Sean Winters wrote.\n“The enemies of Francis have declared war.”\nNicolas Seneze, the Rome correspondent for the French daily La Croix, echoed that there is “a clear desire to attack Francis,” said that “those who regard Francis as dangerous will stop at nothing.”\nGiven that clergy have accused Pope Francis of outright heresy, and provided evidence of the heresy, Seneze’s evaluation appears to be spot.\nDuring his visit to Ireland on Sunday the pope “begged for God’s forgiveness” for past clerical abuse scandals, which have badly damaged the image of the Church in the Catholic stronghold.\nHis trip was met with enthusiastic crowds but also protests, with about 5,000 abuse victims and supporters attending a “Stand for Truth” rally in the capital Dublin. Catholic Church’s standing has been badly dented by the abuse scandals.

{"text": "O2 announce their Guru for Life\nA granddad from Hastings has been named O2’s official Guru for Life after a [...]\nWhat makes a wonderful photo? We all want fabulous pictures of our gorgeous grandchildren, health but if you’re sometimes disappointed and wonder what went wrong, asthma here are a few simple suggestions to try.\nFirst of all, think about the kind of photo you want. A ‘close up’ (head and shoulders) to get a cute expression or a new tooth, or full length to put the shot into context – eg child on a swing, playing with a toy, building sandcastles. Just try not to cut them off at elbows or knees.\n(c) Jean Williams\nIf your camera has portrait mode do use it (a ‘person’ icon usually on the dial on top of your camera). Without going into technicalities, this makes your subject stand out in the photo. Don’t get too close. Your camera’s instruction book will tell you how close is too close.\nNext be prepared to get down to the little one’s eye level – this is not the day for your best white skirt!\nSet up an activity to hold the little one’s attention for a few seconds – anything from a toy, to bubbles or keys or even a bit of transparent sticky tape to hold (honestly – great for babies). Get yourself into position for the shot and let them get engrossed. Watch quietly. When they’ve forgotten you’re there focus your camera on their eyes and speak to them. Nine times out of ten, a young child or baby will then look up, make eye contact with you, pause for a split second – and then smile! Click! Try to get 2 or 3 shots – in case they blink. If they reply to what you’ve said, they will probably speak then smile. Either way – you get a great natural photo.\nA couple of other things to think about. Look through your camera, check what is going to be in the background. Changing your position by a couple of feet can make a huge difference. Look for other things that might detract the eye from your subject – other people getting into your shot, odds and ends lying around. An uncluttered background makes your subject stand out more.\nAre there dark shadows on the child’s face? If so use flash – even if it’s very bright sunlight. (Always assuming your camera will allow you to choose!)\n(c) Jean Williams\nWhat else? Well, get creative with the angle of the shot. I love filling the shot with a baby’s face. Use your camera at a jaunty angle to add fun to the shot.\nTry getting below the little one’s eye level and shooting slightly upwards. Get the child to walk towards you, skipping, jumping up and down, twirling round – and keep clicking.\nIf you have ‘Continuous Shooting’ on your camera use it. They don’t have to be perfectly still – if the light is good modern cameras can capture the action without blurring.\n(c) Jean Williams\nWith a slightly older child get them to pretend they’re whoever their hero is – Buzz Lightyear, Lightning McQueen, Ben10, a pop singer etc. Don’t be afraid to use a toy as a prop.\nRemember that a great photo reflects your little one’s personality and captures a fleeting moment in their lives. They don’t have to be looking directly at the camera, nor do they have to be smiling.\nAnd when you’ve got a shot you’re pleased with, remember to show it to your star model and praise and thank them. Most of all – enjoy creating lasting memories.\nBy Jean William [...]"}
