MESSAGE OF THE HOLY FATHER JOHN PAUL II
TO CARDINAL CRESCENZIO SEPE
SPECIAL ENVOY IN MONGOLIA
To His Eminence Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe
Prefect of the Congregration for the Evangelization of Peoples
1. With great joy I write to you, Venerable Brother, as you prepare to visit for the second time the young Christian community which dwells in the vast Asian country of Mongolia, rich in history and cultural traditions.
Last July you visited Ulaanbaatar, the capital of the Mongolian nation, in order to celebrate the the tenth anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Mongolia and the Holy See and to highlight the lively presence in the region of a Christian community of relatively recent foundation. Although the first evangelization of Mongolia was due to the arrival of Nestorians from Persia in the seventh century, it was only in the first half of the twentieth century that a mission in that distant region was entrusted to the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The pro-Communist regime of the time at first prevented the missionaries from entering the region. With the end of the Communist dictatorship the doors were finally opened to the Gospel, and from 1991 on the first evangelizers began to arrive: priests, men and women religious, and laypersons actively engaged in the "Lord's vineyard."
To demonstrate the fruitful and positive advances made in this decade, last year witnessed two events fundamental for the life of the Church: the elevation of the Mission sui iuris of Urga, Ulanbator to the rank of Apostolic Prefecture with the new name of Ulaanbaatar, and the subsequent appointment of the first Apostolic Prefect in the person of the Reverend Father Wenceslaw Padilla, C.I.C.M., as well as the first ordination of three priests and a deacon who, while not natives of the country, consider Mongolia as their adopted homeland. They represent a promising sign of hope for the future of the local ecclesial community.
2. Your Eminence's return to that beloved land a little more than a year later is prompted by two other no less important and happy events: the episcopal ordination of the Apostolic Prefect and the blessing of the Cathedral Church dedicated to the Apostles Peter and Paul. These events consolidate the spiritual edifice being built up by the "little flock" of a young missionary Church which is growing in confidence, sustained by the renewing power of the Holy Spirit.
I would dearly have liked to be present in person for these significant and historic liturgical celebrations. Since this was not part of the Lord's plan, I now entrust you with the responsibility of conveying my paternal and affectionate greetings to the new Bishop in that chosen portion of the People of God, to the other Bishops, and in a special way to Archbishop Giovanni Battista Morandini, Apostolic Nuncio in Mongolia and Apostolic Administrator. My greetings also go to the priests, the women religious, the other pastoral agents and those engaged in different charitable and humanitarian activities. I also offer a cordial greeting to all the members of the Catholic community, the baptized, the catechumens and the "sympathizers", especially the children, adolescents and young adults, who are the future and the hope of the Church and the society of that noble country.
Finally, I ask you to present my respectful greetings to the Authorities and to all the Mongolian people, who are ever close to my heart, as well as to the representatives of the various religions, with which the Catholic Church hopes to cooperate in fruitful service to the common good. I assure everyone of a special remembrance in my prayers, and I ask Almighty God to bless the efforts being made to spread his Kingdom.
3. To Mary, Mother and Queen of Mongolia, I entrust the expectations and the hopes of the Church and the Mongolian nation, having emerged from the long winter of the Communist oppression may they look to the future with renewed confidence.
May the light of Christ accompany everyone along the journey which lies ahead. I willingly seal these good wishes with my special Apostolic Blessing which I now entrust to you, Venerable Brother, as my special representative.
From Castel Gandolfo, 22 August 2003
JOHN PAUL II

Wrangling science: red meat and cancer
As a continuation of beef checkoff efforts to examine the totality of the evidence on the subject of red meat and cancer, the “Red Meat and Processed Meat Consumption and Cancer: A Technical Summary of the Epidemiologic Evidence” was released to members of the Human Nutrition Research Committee during the Cattle Industry’s Annual Convention in San Antonio, TX.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death (after heart disease) in the U.S.; about one in every three Americans will be diagnosed with some type of cancer in their lifetime. While the specific cause(s) of most cancer is still unknown, researchers believe it stems from genetic, lifestyle, infectious and environmental factors, and usually develops over several years or even decades. That reality adds to the difficulty in identifying the underlying factors involved in carcinogenesis, states author and leading epidemiologist Dr. Dominik Alexander, PhD, MSPH. Even with these challenges, Alexander goes on to say, “… no mechanism for red meat has been established as being responsible for increasing the risk of cancer in human studies and … the totality of available scientific evidence is not supportive of an independent association between red meat and processed meat and cancer.”
This technical summary reviews the fundamental basis of the science of epidemiology (the study of the occurrence of disease in human populations) and its applicability in critically evaluating the associations between red and processed meat and cancer across the published literature. This assessment includes a comprehensive evaluation of hundreds of epidemiologic studies across all types of cancer.
“This will serve as a comprehensive resource on the epidemiologic associations of red meat and processed meat and cancer for industry stake holders, nutrition scientists, educators and communicators. It concludes the available epidemiologic evidence is not supportive of a causal relationship between red meat and any of the cancers evaluated,” says Shalene McNeill, PhD, RD, executive director of nutrition research with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, a beef checkoff contractor.
The beef and pork checkoffs joined forces to fund the development of this report which is the first large-scale review of this topic. The piece was prepared by Health Sciences Practice, Exponent Inc., under the direction of principal investigator Alexander. — WLJ

Believe it or not, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Cards, candies and heart-shaped things of all kinds are on display in shop windows. Restaurants are advertising Valentine’s Day menus, and, in some cities, reservations are booking out. It’s not the biggest travel holiday of the year but make no mistake: Millions of American couples (and others) will be heading off on weekend getaways, leaving some airports and roads more congested than usual. So where are people going?
To determine where people are traveling for Valentine’s Day 2022, our friends at Allianz (I have an annual plan and am a brand ambassador) decided to dive into the data. (Allianz has done the same thing in past years.) By looking at bookings that include roundtrip flights for two passengers departing and returning to U.S. airports, inside the extended V-Day weekend (February 10-15) or the weekend before it (February 3-7), Allianz was able to produce a ranking of Valentine’s Day destinations.
Domestically, Orlando came out as #1, with Las Vegas, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Phoenix rounding out the top five. Outside the U.S., the bookings Allianz looked at featured the ever-popular Cancun as the most common destination. Two other parts of Mexico—Mexico City, San Jose Del Cabo and Puerto Vallarta—followed at #1, #2 and #3, respectively.
Here are the complete findings regarding where Americans will be traveling for Valentine’s Day:

Author of “The Forty Days of Musa Dagh” would turn 124 today: Haaretz
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 10, ARMENPRESS: September 10, 1890 is the birthdate of Franz Werfel, the Prague-born Jewish poet, dramatist and novelist, whose most acclaimed work, the 1933 “The Forty Days of Musa Dagh,” about the Armenian genocide, was widely read as a warning about the Nazi rise to power and the murderous threat it posed to the Jews. As Armenpress reports, the Israeli “Haaretz” has issued a special article entitled “This Day in Jewish History”, which is devoted to the author’s life and activity.
Werfel was introduced to the Armenian saga by a chance meeting in Damascus, and the result was a best-selling novel about the Turks’ 1915 campaign against the Armenians. He described the book to audiences as telling how “one of the oldest and most venerable peoples of the world has been destroyed, murdered, almost exterminated … .” Not surprisingly, “The Forty Days” was one of the first books consigned to the bonfires by the Nazis.
Franz Werfel died on August 26, 1945, at the age of 54.

The passage of the GST bill in Rajya Sabha takes the country a step closer to being a large, uniform market
GN Bureau | August 3, 2016
The Rajya Sabha on Thursday passed The Constitution (122nd Amendment) Bill, 2014 (GST), ending years of political wrangling and raucousness.
GST is essentially a comprehensive indirect tax on manufacture, sale and consumption of goods and services across the country and it replace taxes levied by the central and state governments.
The Congress, which had initially pushed for GST, had later opposed the bill. But the party finally came around and helped ensure that the bill gets passed in the upper house. A day earlier, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi had met Leader of the party in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, former finance minister P Chidambaram and Deputy Leader of the party in Rajya Sabha Anand Sharma in Parliament House and held deliberations regarding the tax reform legislation.
Yet the road ahead is still a long one as all the states too have to now pass their own laws on it. Once that happens, it will be an important tax reform that hopes to make India’s 1.2 billion people strong market an easier place to do business in.
The GST bill had a difficult journey. The budget of 2006-07 had announced GST by April 1, 2010. An empowered committee of state finance ministers, headed by the then West Bengal finance minister Asim Dasgupta, had submitted report to the central government in April 2008. Since then it has been a legislative challenge.
The introduction of a single indirect tax regime across the country will be a significant development. South Asia is expected to be the fastest growing sub-region, led by India, whose economy has shrugged off global headwinds and is on track to meet ADB’s March fiscal year 2016 projected growth target of 7.4 percent, the Asian Development Bank has said in a supplement to its Asian Development Outlook 2016 (ADO 2016) report.
According to ey.com, GST will be a game changing reform for Indian economy by developing a common Indian market and reducing the cascading effect of tax on the cost of goods and services. It will impact the Tax Structure, Tax Incidence, Tax Computation, Tax Payment, Compliance, Credit Utilization and Reporting leading to a complete overhaul of the current indirect tax system.
GST will have a far reaching impact on almost all the aspects of the business operations in the country, for instance, pricing of products and services; supply chain optimization; IT, accounting and tax compliance systems, it said.

The Convergence of the Twain
By Thomas Hardy
(Lines on the loss of the “Titanic”)
In a solitude of the sea
Deep from human vanity,
And the Pride of Life that planned her, stilly couches she.
Steel chambers, late the pyres
Of her salamandrine fires,
Cold currents thrid, and turn to rhythmic tidal lyres.
Over the mirrors meant
To glass the opulent
The sea-worm crawls — grotesque, slimed, dumb, indifferent.
Jewels in joy designed
To ravish the sensuous mind
Lie lightless, all their sparkles bleared and black and blind.
Dim moon-eyed fishes near
Gaze at the gilded gear
And query: “What does this vaingloriousness down here?”
Well: while was fashioning
This creature of cleaving wing,
The Immanent Will that stirs and urges everything
Prepared a sinister mate
For her — so gaily great —
A Shape of Ice, for the time far and dissociate.
And as the smart ship grew
In stature, grace, and hue,
In shadowy silent distance grew the Iceberg too.
Alien they seemed to be;
No mortal eye could see
The intimate welding of their later history,
Or sign that they were bent
By paths coincident
On being anon twin halves of one august event,
Till the Spinner of the Years
Said “Now!” And each one hears,
And consummation comes, and jars two hemispheres.
In his cool, philosophical poem “Convergence of the Twain,” Thomas Hardy meditates on the futility of acquiring material wealth. The poem opens in “a solitude of the sea” where the Titanic-Britain’s crowning glory and so-called “unsinkable” ship-came to rest over 100 years ago.
The remote, dark depths of the Atlantic serve as the setting for the rest of poem where the once magnificent testament to human will now sits at the bottom of the sea. A deeply inhuman environment, the ocean in Hardy’s poem represents mystery and darkness, a place where all things will be forgotten and eventually meet their end. This idea is reinforced in the second line when Hardy describes the sea as a place “deep from human vanity” (Hardy 2). The fact that the ocean is “deep”-or removed- from human vanity suggests pride and appearance have little meaning after death. In the next line, Hardy claims the “Pride of Life” planned the magnificent ship (Hardy 3). The aggressive capitalization of the word “Pride” proves the human belief in our own infallibility; however, our “plans” reveal themselves ludicrous when the Titanic, the “unsinkable” ship, flounders and sinks 3 days after it sets off from London’s harbor. By personifying man’s plans to construct an indestructible ship, Hardy mocks the ridiculousness of such an endeavor as man’s ambitions mean little in the face of destiny.
Since her tragic demise in 1912, the Titanic has become a devastating symbol of man‘s hubris, or over-reaching. In the third and fourth stanzas, we witness the futility of man’s worldly power: “Over the mirrors meant/To glass the opulent/The sea-worm crawls-grotesque, slimed, dumb, indifferent” (Hardy 7-9). Here, mirrors-which were “meant” to house “opulent” jewels-now serve as playgrounds for sea-worms. Though they were originally intended to protect something beautiful, mirrors themselves are extremely delicate, which points to human life’s fragility. Both stanzas follow the same structure: in the first and second lines, Hardy outlines an object’s original purpose; in the third, he reveals the uselessness of that purpose now that the Titanic is rotting six feet under. That jewels-emblems of glamor and social status-now “lie lightless” suggests that lavish wealth is meaningless in the face of mortality (Hardy 12).
Syntactically, the poem’s immediate undermining of each object’s original purpose proves two things: 1) man is very intent on being in control and 2) the desire to be in control is not only impossible-it’s pointless. Though these stunning jewels were “designed” to “ravish the sensuous mind,” life interferes with those plans when the Titanic meets her “twin halve” and crashes into an iceberg (Hardy 10-11).
“If you want to make God laugh,” the old saying goes, “make a plan.” Thomas Hardy’s “Convergence of the Twain” is a cruel reminder of our inability to ever be fully in control. In fact, the only thing that seems to possess absolute governance in the poem is God, whom Hardy describes as the “Spinner of Years” (Hardy 31). Man might imagine himself as the subject of his syntactical destiny; however, it is God who appears over and over again as the actual one in power. In the sixth stanza, we see this image of God reinforced grammatically:
“Well: while was fashioning/This creature of cleaving wing,/The Immanent Will that stirs and urges everything/Prepared a sinister mate/ For her — so gaily great” (Hardy 16-20).
Interestingly, the first line of the stanza is missing a proper subject. The sentence sounds so odd, in fact, one might think it’s a typo. However, Hardy intentionally drops the subject (man) to imply man is not a subject at all, but rather an object at the mercy of God’s will. Humankind may outwardly appear like a God (for instance, in these lines he fashions “creatures” much like God in the biblical origin story), but he nevertheless remains an object of the “Immanent Will.” God’s status as the only named subject in these lines hints at the overall moral of Hardy’s poem: compared to God, who is mighty and omnipotent, man’s ability to influence fate, it seems, is painfully limited.

Honda Mfg. of Indiana Process Engineer is Who Makes a Honda
Today, Honda released the latest associate profile in its popular What Makes a Honda is Who Makes a Honda video series. Alex McNeely, a process engineer at Honda Manufacturing of Indiana (HMIN) in Greensburg, is featured because of his drive to "always be better."
McNeely's commitment to continuous improvement contributes to his success as a process engineer at HMIN, where he's responsible for ergonomic procedures and installation methods for the interior zone of the vehicles. This same attitude makes him effective as a mentor at the Center for Leadership Development (CLD)—an organization whose mission is to empower minority youth in the areas of college and career.
McNeely began mentoring at CLD shortly after assuming his engineering role at Honda. "Alex is unique in that he sent us an email selling himself … he said 'I just want to get involved,'" CLD Program Coordinator Yalonda McTush said. "He came in from the beginning ready to help in any way he could."
At CLD, McNeely works with students who participate in the Self-Discovery/Career-Exploration Project, helping to promote the values, skills, lifestyle choices and work ethic needed to achieve their goals.
Demonstrating the spirit that enabled him to realize his own goal of becoming an industrial engineer, McNeely strives to foster the same attitude and challenging spirit among the students he mentors. "Every single student I see is living proof of the power of dreams," McNeely remarked.
The What Makes a Honda is Who Makes a Honda video series focuses on Honda's commitment to innovation, inclusion, a youthful spirit and respect for the individual—core tenets of Honda's approach to business that work equally well in the community. In addition, the videos spotlight the diverse career opportunities that exist within Honda, while also showcasing inspiring ways these associates engage in their communities.
The What Makes a Honda is Who Makes a Honda series will run on Honda's YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/Honda.
Honda established operations in America in 1959, and now employs more than 33,000 associates in its North America sales, R&D and manufacturing. It now operates 17 major manufacturing facilities in North America, producing a wide range of Honda and Acura automobiles, automobile engines and transmissions, Honda all-terrain vehicles, and power equipment products such as lawn mowers, mini-tillers and general purpose engines, using domestic and globally sourced parts.
This includes eight Honda auto plants in the North American region that have the capacity to produce 1.92 million automobiles each year. Honda operates major research and development centers in the U.S. that fully design, develop and engineer many of the products Honda produces in North America.
In 2013, more than 95 percent of the Honda and Acura automobiles sold in the U.S. were produced in North America.

currently I'm planning a new build project, I want to create a homage of the crazy Chronoswiss Wristmaster.
While I have a plan already how to realise it I did not find the right watches to do it - I would need a pair of pocket watches (or bullheads) that are available as simple 'one timezone' watch and stopwatch or chrono, using the same style case and dial. So watches that are available as chrono/stopwatch and simple watch.
The budget is not unlimited of course.
Any idea is much appreciated.

Director of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard yesterday confirmed that he had met with police officers from the Anti Corruption Investigation Bureau (ACIB) last week to discuss the half a billion-dollar corruption case involving the Estate Management and Business Development Company almost five years ago.
In response to a Whatsapp message from Guardian Media on the status of the case, which was exclusively reported on in the Sunday Guardian, Gaspard also indicated that the police had some additional work to complete on the case before they could lay charges against the prominent politician, former EMBD employees and the CEOs of at least four construction companies.
However, senior police sources confirmed that the ACIB which received help on the year and a half long case from the UK prosecution and investigation firm Edmonds Marshall Mc Mahon was close to having everything in order before they return to the DPP for further instructions.
Officers looked into the alleged pillaging of taxpayers’ money through a fraudulent scheme at the state entity. The probe revealed that a prominent politician “orchestrated a scheme that resulted in significant funds being secured and spent by the EMBD six weeks before the September 2015 general election amounting to a staggering $549 million.
In the police report, a man termed “the boss” with help from senior EMBD employees and a contractor concocted a series of road upgrade projects, known as C1-C10 roads, in the Caroni area and a note was sent to the Cabinet seeking approval for the works and funding long before an EMBD engineer even visited the site.
The man known as “the boss” instructed the senior EMBD employees to add a tenth road to the draft note which was sent to Cabinet on the basis that one particular contractor wanted to do the job. Investigators found there was no other justification provided for this job but the senior EMBD employee obliged.
Although investigators found that a note was submitted to the Cabinet on April 30, 2015, the project did not form part of the EMBD’s scope of work and companies owned by the boss’ close acquaintances were later invited to tender for the road contract.
By the time the tender process came up, according to investigators, the EMBD’s estimates for the cost of the roads had been arbitrarily inflated to $416,340,455 by a senior employee. This meant bidders could bid higher and the bidding companies colluded with one another to predetermine who won the contract. Police also found evidence of full bids information for two of the roads (C7&C8) dated before the bids had been submitted on the computer of one of the companies in question.
Investigators also found strong evidence that showed once work on the roads began, the companies allegedly submitted fraudulent claims for material not used or work not done. In one instance, a company also claimed $23 million for Guaracara boulders that were not used.
On Sunday night, Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley, speaking on a platform in Tobago, read extensively from the Sunday Guardian report and blamed the former administration for the alleged corrupt practices that took place at the EMBD.

He may not be doing Mitt Romney any favours but Clint Eastwood is trying again.
After his widely-mocked appearance at the Republican convention, in which he ramblingly addressed an empty chair, the 82-year filmmaker is back, supporting Romney in a new advertisement called At Stake.
This time he talks to the camera instead of a chair, announcing: "Obama's second term would be a rerun of the first and our country just couldn't survive that."
But he is facing opposition from his one-time friend and co-star Morgan Freeman, who is starring in a rival commercial promoting President Obama called "Challenges."
Freeman, who co-starred with Eastwood in Million Dollar Baby and played Nelson Mandela in Eastwood's Invictus, openly contradicts his former friend's message, saying: "The last thing we should do is turn back now."

August 11, 2020
Digital life has long been embedded in the United States. But as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold of all our lives, government officials closed non-essential businesses, schools, and issued stay-at-home orders. Being confined at home led us to spend even more time online—from streaming audio and video services to having video chats with our friends and browsing social channels. It became a digital world as we’d never seen before.
With states slowly reopening, consumers are starting to venture outside. Still, with no vaccine generally available to the public and public health officials warning that a second wave may follow, consumers aren’t keen on returning to life pre-COVID just yet.
However, we’re still longing for ways to connect despite this global pandemic. The use of video conferencing channels like Zoom, Google Meet, and Facebook Messenger are skyrocketing with social distancing measures. Virtual gatherings have become the norm.
We were curious if our community felt the same and surveyed our members. Out of the 3,500 who responded, an astounding 92% reported they would be interested in hosting a virtual house party.
What’s a virtual house party?
A virtual house party is what you would expect: gathering with your friends over video chat and participating in activities. With no end to the pandemic in sight, consumers were ecstatic about interacting in new ways with family and friends. A respondent sums it up perfectly: “It will be nice to focus on something good and fun for a moment instead of what’s going on in the world.”
The devil’s in the details
Not only were consumers excited to host virtual parties, but they also had specific plans in mind. Sixty-seven percent of respondents said their virtual house party would last one to two hours. Zoom led the pack in video chat platforms, with 81% of consumers preferring it over others for their event. Seventy percent of consumers wanted six to 15 people on the call (six and nine (36%) and 10 to 15 (34%). Popular activities respondents wanted during the event were just chatting with friends and family (88%), playing games (77%), and happy hours (75%).
The benefits for brands
Virtual house parties don’t only benefit consumers; they also greatly benefit brands. Ninety-four percent of consumers want a virtual house party, so they can try new products with family and friends. Popular products that respondents would have at their event are food (93%), games (84%), and alcohol (75%).
Virtual house parties are great for increasing awareness for new and existing products with hyper-targeted audiences. It also generates authentic product trials, reviews, and user-generated content. Brands can gain valuable insights into products, purchase intent, and consumer sentiment. This creates a long-term impact on consumers’ likelihood to purchase and recommend a brand’s product.
How Ripple Street can help
Weeks before the Virtual House Party experience, we start to activate and deliver deep engagement with thousands of consumers from our community. To compete for the opportunity to host a Virtual House Party, they visit local retailers and e-commerce channels, download branded assets and take “shelfies,” share photos on social media, and other activities.
Selected hosts invite friends and family to the Virtual House Party on any platform of their choice (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet, HouseParty). Brands can deliver any combination of physical party packs and digital branded items such as digital downloads and backgrounds to create a fun and engaging Virtual House Party experience. The best part? Participants write authentic product reviews and share their experiences (e.g., photos and videos) across their social channels.

When the new mini launched I was ecstatic because it was BLAZING FAST! 🔥 I even added a comment here praising you all for how amazing the new, simpler, mini was.
However this recent beta has taken a huge step backwards. The keyboard navigation of the lefthand panel feels much more like the "old new" mini. Where, even though I have my key repeat rate set to its highest level, the scrolling when I hold down the cursor keys is extremely slow.
I can't remember exactly but I believe that you all changed that you are now waiting to refresh the details panel before the keyboard navigation is allowed to go to the next item. This is 100% incorrect. The rendering of the details should be asynchronous or be delayed by about 100-200ms to see if another key is going to be pressed. For mouse users this is going to be barely noticeable but for keyboard navigators this is detrimental to workflow.
However, it's not just that, the rendering of the details panel is far slower. If I just press (for example) "down right" to go to the next item in the list, then focus over to the details, the delay is unbearable. It may be that this is alllllllll related to the changes made to navigating the lefthand panel, but I just wanted to give you all another use case to look out for.
The other thing that makes this feel like the "old new" mini is the "elastic" feel of the navigation when you hold the key down (again mine is set to the fastest it can go) and then you stop and go the other direction. It takes a second for mini to realize you changed directions and continues going in the opposite direction for a bit. This isn't nearly as bad as the "old new" mini where it would move by dozens of items before realizing you were going the other direction, but it's still wrong.
I just wanted to voice this here. I think I'm probably one of the more vocal keyboard navigators on the forums and I wanted to make sure this was brought to your attention sooner rather than later.

Weep for me, whoever has charity, truth and justice! I did not come on this voyage for gain, honor or wealth, that is certain; for then the hope of all such things was dead. I came to Your Highnesses with honest purpose and sincere zeal; and I do not lie. I humbly beseech You Highnesses that, if it please God to remove me hence, you will help me to go to Rome and on other pilgrimages.
The distance at which it can strike, and the destructive power of such a quasi-intelligent machine being for all practical purposes unlimited, the gun, the armor of the battleship and the wall of the fortress, lose their import and significance. One can prophesy with a Daniel's confidence that skilled electricians will settle the battles of the near future. But this is the least. In its effect upon war and peace, electricity offers still much greater and more wonderful possibilities. To stop war by the perfection of engines of destruction alone, might consume centuries and centuries. Other means must be employed to hasten the end.
In the face of great perils never before encountered, our strong purpose is to protect and to perpetuate the integrity of democracy. For this we muster the spirit of America, and the faith of America. We do not retreat. We are not content to stand still. As Americans, we go forward, in the service of our country, by the will of God.
The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.
To study Buddhism and then use it as a weapon in order to criticize others' theories or ideologies is wrong. The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize others. Rather, we must criticize ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life with the knowledge of the Buddhist teachings.

I wake with a start, heart pounding, eyes suddenly wide open. Within a second, even before I swing my feet out of the bed, my mind sprints into adrenalin-laced action, speculating wildly: What’s happened?
I can’t find the phone, which continues shrieking impatiently. In the darkness I bump into a rather solid piece of furniture, uttering a word of praise and thanksgiving (I wish) as I bruise myself.
As I stumble frantically around the shadowy room, my mind is way ahead of me, hurtling through a horrifying catalogue of possible reasons for the call. Someone in our family has been in an accident/is stranded in Latvia/is lying cold in a mortuary awaiting identification. Fear creates endless chilling possibilities.
At last I locate the phone and hear an unfamiliar voice. However, the voice that is all too familiar to most of us is the niggling whisper of fear. We know it well; we’re intimidated by its hiss.
Fear is devastatingly effective at night. It mugs our exhausted minds and insists that we stay awake, restlessly fretting as we long for dawn. It punctuates our dreams with horror stories that drench us in cold sweat.
We awake relieved, hoping it was just a dream and not a premonition. Being afraid is what we humans do well. Perhaps that’s why, in scripture, visiting angels usually introduce themselves with the same greeting: ‘Don’t be afraid.’ God knows that even the most faith-filled among us can fall prey to the predatory fangs of fear.
Elijah did well as a person of faith, performing an assortment of exploits, such as summoning fire from heaven, organising the weather and raising the dead. But this man, so famous for his faith, ran for his life and then prayed for death to come when fear stalked him. A notelet from the Cruella de Vil of the Old Testament, Jezebel, sent him and his faith packing. It was fear that took him out; a devastating ‘smart missile’.
So these days I’m trying to take seriously God’s oft-issued command: ‘Do not be afraid’. If I’m told not to do something, I must have the ability, with God’s help, to avoid going there; to refuse fear’s invitations. I’m wrong to cower powerless before the Goliath of fear. I might only have a makeshift catapult and a few stones in hand, but with God I can topple that giant.
And this is more than the glib: ‘Don’t worry, be happy.’ I need to learn to replace my anxious thoughts with urgent volleys of prayer. Because, according to Jesus, worry produces nothing but prayer changes everything. I can place vivid imaginings of dread under arrest, taking my thoughts captive. Is it easy? No. Trust takes practice and discipline. But just because it’s easier said than done doesn’t mean that it can’t be done.
Back to my nocturnal phone caller. It turns out the airline that had damaged my bag during a recent trip had decided to return it in the middle of the night. A nice delivery chap tells me he has my bag and he’s ten minutes away. Stifling a scream, I gently advise him that it’s the middle of the night.
‘It’s an empty bag,’ I say. ‘I have no immediate need of it.’
But he is determined.
He calls me three more times for directions.
Finally, at 2am, he arrives. I have a blissful reunion with my bag and treat it like a returning prodigal. I’d missed it so. Then I thank him warmly; he was just doing his job.
As I wander back to bed, I realise that my fears, so vivid and terrifying just a minute or two ago, were entirely groundless.
They usually are.

Denver Public Schools Retirement System officials on Wednesday will meet with school system executives and the Colorado Public Employees Retirement Association, Denver, to discuss a possible merger of the two defined benefit plans. Officials met once recently and spoke generally about a merger, but there are no specifics at this point, said Norm Ruggles, executive director of the Denver schools plan. Possible cost savings are driving the talks, Mr. Ruggles said. Previous merger attempts between the $3 billion schools plan and the $40 billion Colorado PERA were unsuccessful.
Separately, Colorado PERA named BNY Mellon and incumbent Northern Trust as finalists for global custody and possible securities lending services, and Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein and Wachovia as finalists for third-party securities lending services, said spokeswoman Katie Kaufmanis. It has not been determined whether the system will use a third-party securities lending service. The board could make selections at its March 21 meeting. The plan issued an RFP for both services in November. New contracts will begin Oct. 1.

Rabbits have very unique ways of communicating how they feel with us, each other and other animals. They are very expressive with their body language and actions, which can bring immense joy as an owner to watch. Some body language is quite subtle, but when you learn how to spot it you will soon be able to recognise when you have done something pleasing, or indeed something very distasteful!
One of the best behaviours to witness is when your rabbit does a binky. When a rabbit binkies they jump up into the air coupled with a head shake or a flick of the back legs, more often they do both. Binkies can be displayed when your rabbit is running at high speed or from a complete stand still. A binky is a sign of great happiness and is an expression of their joy!
The flop is either done when you rabbit is about to sleep or just for the fun of it. Your rabbit will just flop completely on to their side. This is a sign of contentedness, only a rabbit that is very comfortable in their surroundings will do this as it puts them in a very vulnerable position.
Laying flat down head lowered
Rabbits adopt this position for a number of reasons and situations. This is usually a sign of submission, just before you are about to pick up your rabbit they can adopt this stance. You can also see this behaviour when a submissive rabbit is with the dominant rabbit.
It can also be seen when your rabbit wants to be groomed by their companion, in this situation both the dominant and submissive rabbit can display this behaviour.
A rabbit will thump its back legs to the floor creating a loud bang to alert others that there is danger around. Rabbits will also thump if they are unhappy with something you have done, for example, after picking up your rabbit they may thump when you let them go, this is a sign that they are not happy with you.
When a rabbit periscopes they stand on their back legs and stretch their body up looking around. Rabbits do this when they want to get a better look at something or if they have heard something they are unsure of they may adopt the meerkat position to give them a better vantage point.
A rabbit will make a grunting noise if it is very unhappy, this can be coupled with a charge. This signifies that your rabbit is very angry.
If your rabbit squeals it means that they are in a great deal of pain, if you hear your rabbit squealing something very serious has happened and you may need to seek veterinary help.
Rabbits have scent glands under their chins, so when they rub their chin over an object or you, they are marking their territory. Simply put they are saying “that’s mine”.
Flicking back feet
When a rabbit flicks their back feet it’s usually a sign of displeasure. They tend to do this when they are running away. So you have probably done something that your rabbit does not approve of and they are telling you in no uncertain terms!
If you see your rabbit looking almost like they are on their tip toes and motioning their head in an up and down movement, it’s probably because something has appeared that they are unsure of. Rabbits are inquisitive by nature so will want to check out what is now in their territory. This body language shows they are cautiously investigating an object they are unsure of, but can run away at a moments notice.
Teeth grinding can mean two completely different things. It can be similar to a purr, showing they are content, this is audible to us. However, if the teeth grinding sounds too loud and uncomfortable it can be a sign of pain. You should be able to tell if your rabbit is in pain as they won’t be displaying associated body language showing they are content or at ease. If your rabbit is grinding its teeth as a sign of pain, you should take them to a rabbit savvy vet immediately.
Grooming is part of rabbit behaviour and bonded pairs will often groom each other on a regular basis. Grooming is a social act and can be an essential part of the bond between rabbits. If you’re very lucky your rabbit may even groom you!
Rabbits mount each other when they are displaying dominance. The dominant of your rabbits may do the mounting; however, it’s not uncommon for the submissive rabbit to also partake.
Rabbits completely stretch out when they are happy and feel safe in the environment that they are in. By doing this they are showing that they are at ease, as this a very vulnerable position to be in.
Rabbits nudge you when they want some attention. A gentle head nudge is your rabbit’s way of saying I’m here give me some attention. You may also be in their way and they can be telling you to move so that they can get past.
If your rabbit gently nips you, without causing pain they are displaying the same type of behaviour as when they nudge you. They are saying I’m here and I want you to notice me.
Rabbits love to do sprinting circuits when they have enough space to do so. Sprinting can also be joined with binkies. This is another sign of your rabbit’s pleasure and they express it when they are very happy.
If you rabbit’s posture becomes hunched and is coupled with a lunge this is a sign of aggression. Your rabbit could be defending their territory or they are showing you or another rabbit that they are unhappy; this type of behaviour could lead to fighting.
This posture can also show that your rabbit is in pain or is scared. If they are staying very still then this indicates that they are nervous or uncomfortable in their environment.
If your rabbit’s tail goes high up in comparison to normal then this could either indicate that they are about to go to the toilet or it can be a territorial signal. Rabbits that smell the presence of other non bonded rabbits display this behaviour more often, especially if the smell is in their territory.
Ear movement can also tell us a lot about what your rabbit is thinking, for more information follow this link.

Speaking at a news conference following talks with Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo, Tillerson said the escalating threat from North Korea's nuclear program shows a clear need for a "new approach".
But the current frontrunner to replace her, Moon Jae-in, has suggested a new approach might be required in handling North Korea - and has voiced concern about the United States deployment of the Thaad defence system in the South.
The secretary of state also stressed that bilateral cooperation and trilateral cooperation including South Korea are "critical in addressing North Korea's nuclear and missile programs".
U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Thursday the level of State Department spending in the past had been "simply not sustainable" and he willingly accepted the "challenge" President Donald Trump had given.
Intel Chairman: No Evidence Trump Tower Wiretapped
Appearing on Good Morning America Monday, Trump's senior counselor Kellyanne Conway addressed the allegations . "Nothing found. The former Celebrity Apprentice host, 70, has not commented on the matter since his March 4 tweets .
He also called on China, where he will visit on Saturday, to do more to pressure its ally North Korea.
"We hope they will not", said Xiao Qian, the Director General of the Asian Affairs department.
"With a policy review on North Korea under way in Washington, (Tillerson's visit) will give us a good opportunity to share our diverse experiences on the North that we have accumulated for decades and provide our input", he said on condition of anonymity.
Tillerson said he would conduct a "comprehensive examination" of how the State Department's programs are run and how the department is structured. The idea of pulling in McPike, said Toner, was "to include a broader representation of US media".
Japan recalled its Ambassador to South Korea Yasumasa Nagamine in January over a comfort woman statue in front of the Japanese Consulate-General in Busan. "We expect that the diplomatic press corps will be afforded access to Secretary Tillerson equal to that given to the reporter on the plane".
Racing 92 and Stade Francais to merge from next season
Stade Francais lock Pascal Pape expressed his discontent on Twitter, writing "my sadness is so big that I prefer not to comment". Racing 92 are the reigning French champions and both clubs play in the top-tier Top 14 championship.
During his two-day stay, Tillerson will meet with Acting President and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, who took over in December after then-President Park Geun-hye was impeached by parliament. "China is a major source of economic trade and activity with North Korea".
Tillerson said the alliance with Japan is a "cornerstone of peace and stability of the Asia-Pacific region".
At the opening of the ministerial meeting, Kishida welcomed Tillerson, saying, "Choosing Japan as your first place to visit [as secretary of state] demonstrates the importance [the United States] places on the [Japan-U.S.] alliance".
While the USA and its allies in Seoul and Tokyo implore Beijing to press its economic leverage over North Korea, the Chinese have emphasized their desire to relaunch diplomatic talks - a non-starter for the US under current conditions.
Experts say it could have a nuclear-tipped missile that could reach the United States within a few years.

Trauma & Abuse Therapy
Trauma & Abuse Therapy is offered free of charge by our experienced and qualified therapists. Trauma therapy is a flexible method adapted to individual need.
It consists of thorough, effective techniques to bring about lasting change without the need of recalling traumatic experiences. We explore triggers and negative beliefs. Victims of traumatic experiences may have irrational fears or flashbacks. We build coping strategies to enable the client to deal with current situations that previously overwhelmed them. Clients establish techniques they can practice when a situation starts to feel uncomfortable, thus allowing them to live more independently and within expected societal parameters.
Victims of abuse often learn coping strategies that are necessary to keep themselves safe and/or able to deal with their abuser. The strategies adopted whilst in an abusive relationship may not be transferable to living a life free from the abuse.
The client may have taken drugs or self-harmed, they may have had to reprimand the children in line with the abusers orders. Trauma therapy enables clients to start to overcome their traumatic experiences and start to live more comfortably both in themselves and in their community

On June 23, 2018, 46-year-old Superior Silica Sands electrician Rodney Fernandez asked coworker Chad Thomsen if he needed assistance removing a defective railcar from service.
The Superior Silica Sands plant at which they workers are employed utilized the railcars to store sand that would be transferred to an overland beltline. Additionally, approximately once a month, two railcars are loaded with sand for transport to Mexico.
The two San Antonio-based employees worked to uncouple the cars. According to a Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) investigation, Thomsen, a plant manager, instructed Fernandez during the process.
Thomsen explained how to set the manual handbrakes on the two railcars, but he did not set the manual handbrakes himself. He then climbed into a Rail King 300 Trackmobile coupled to the number one car and left Fernandez to uncouple the number five rail car, approximately 250 ft. away, MSHA stated.
Fernandez motioned Thomsen by hand to pull the three railcars. Thomsen began the task, but immediately stopped once he noticed his coworker was no longer visible. Thomsen discovered Fernandez lying unresponsive between the tracks and called emergency services.
Fernandez was air lifted to University Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office personnel pronounced his death.
Plant Operator Emiliano Gonzales witnessed the incident as it occurred. He observed Fernandez attempting to set the manual handbrake. Gonzales entered his office for a moment, and when he walked out he saw Fernandez being struck by the railcar and ejected from underneath an adjoining railcar. He immediately radioed for help as well.
Upon notification of the incident, MHSA opened investigation and discovered the accident occurred because the mine operator did not ensure that the manual handbrakes or air brakes were set on the two railcars before uncoupling and moving the train.
In addition, Superior Silica Sands did not provide new task training to Fernandez for performing this type of work.
According to MSHA, Fernandez had been employed at San Antonio Plant for 10 weeks and 3 days and had no previous mining or rail experience. He was in the process of being task trained on maintenance activities in the plant. However, this training did not include rail training.
The agency issued two citations, concluding that Super Silica Sands Management engaged in “aggravated conduct constituting more than ordinary negligence in that it did not ensure or instruct the miner to set the manual handbrakes or block the two cars from movement prior to uncoupling”
The Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 states that an untrained miner is a hazard to himself and to others. Because the company’s management also failed to train Fernandez, it was cited for unwarrantable failure to comply with a mandatory standard.
MSHA's full report and conclusion are available on the agency's website.

You might be asking why this Florida Rabbit is discussing a grave and monument to a New York native located in downtown New York City. Well, not only does General Worth have an historic connection to this part of the country, but there may be a family connection too.
The Seminole Wars in Florida dragged on for decades and became hugely unpopular and a political hot potato. In 1841, then Colonel Worth took command of the Florida army and in May of 1842 President Tyler decided it was time for this war to come to an end. Colonel Worth made that happen – officially. In reality, sporadic skirmishes with the Seminoles continued until the beginning of the Civil War.
Promoted to brevet brigadier general for his Florida accomplishments, Worth went on to become a hero in the Mexican-American War for his actions at Matamoros, Monterrey and Veracruz. He died in San Antonio of cholera in 1849 while commanding the Department of Texas. His popularity continued to grow after his death.
In 1857, Worth’s remains were re-interred with much pomp and ceremony in New York City at what is now known as Worth Square. Below is a copy of the commemorative booklet printed for the occasion. After his death, his widow, Margaret Stafford Worth, returned to St. Augustine where she lived until her death in 1869. She is buried in the St. Augustine National Cemetery along with her daughter, Mary Worth Sprague who died in 1876. Colonel Sprague, Mary’s husband, served as Worth’s adjutant during the Florida campaign and was the military governor of Florida during Reconstruction.
Somehow a copy of this booklet has been passed down in my family – possibly through our Worth cousins in Savannah – and was donated to our historical society by my father. General Worth had one son – who also became a general in the U.S. Army. His son had no children so we have no direct line to the general. What connection, if any, there may be through the Savannah Worths is yet to be discovered. Today it remains an intriguing mystery.

GENEVA (November 8, 2012)—A banana dispute dating back more than two decades is over.
The European Union and 11 Latin American countries have signed an agreement that puts to rest a trade dispute dating to 1991 over tariffs on bananas, which are a vital export for several Latin American economies.
The agreement signed Thursday in the presence of World Trade Organization Director General Pascal Lamy formally ends eight separate WTO cases.
The signing came after the nations reached agreement in Geneva in December 2009 for the EU to gradually reduce its tariffs on imported bananas from €176 per metric ton to €114 per metric ton within eight years.
The EU import tariffs had favored imports from former European colonies.


Area children are invited to join Missouri University of Science and Technology’s Dance and Ballet Club in its upcoming production of the Lion King in February. Young dancers can attend one of two workshops to learn the opening dance.

The camps are 9:30 a.m.-noon Saturday, Feb. 1, at andFlew! Studios, located at 717 N.

All shows are located in Leach Theatre of Missouri S&T’s Castleman Hall, 10th and Main streets in Rolla. Tickets are $9 for adults, $7 for kids 12 and under and $5 for S&T students with a valid student ID.
“With the Lion King, we hope to inspire people of all ages with our dance,” says Kailea Tilden, a junior in biological sciences from Springfield, Mo., and S&T’s Dance and Ballet Club president. “We want to show everyone that students from Missouri S&T are so much more than just engineering students — we’re artists, dancers, musicians and performers.”
The Lion King is the club’s largest production since its founding, with more than 30 S&T students working on the performance that incorporates traditional Zulu music from the original Broadway play. More than 100 costumes will be used during the performance. Besides S&T students, seven students from andFlew! Studios in Rolla will be featured in the performance.

Fergie: Rooney & Ronaldo Friends
Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo are close friends, and even the extent Rooney was willing to go to to help get the Press off Cristiano's back!
"Wayne phoned me on the day of the World Cup final and said he had a great idea. He suggested he could do a TV interview with Ronaldo and they could show everything was fine.
"I thought it would look stage-managed and said no. Instead David Gill and I flew to Portugal to meet Ronaldo.
"We told him we'd had a similar experience with David Beckham [after France 98]. Ronaldo was concerned but not afraid [about coming back].
"We said we'd put extra security on his house. He said he'd try it and see how it went. It's been no bother."

Arriving this week on Special Edition Blu-ray is the 1987 adaptation of “Flowers in the Attic”, a film originally to be written and directed by the legendary Wes Craven, but handed over to Jeffrey Bloom instead. I have never read the novel, but it is well known that much of what made it so popular had been removed from the final film. This is an incest-laden story with very little incest. It has been more than three decades since I had seen the film and truth-be-told, it might be even worse than I remember. That doesn’t mean one can’t have some fun with it depending on how you view the film.
For those of you unfamiliar with “Flowers in the Attic”, the story centers on four siblings, Cathy (Kristy Swanson), Chris (Jeb Stuart Adams), Cory (Ben Ryan Ganger) and Carrie (Lindsay Parker). After the death of their father, the sibling’s mother (Victoria Tennant) brings them to live with their estranged grandmother (Louise Fletcher) and dying grandfather (Nathan Davis). It turns out that the children’s mother and father were niece and uncle which made them the product of incest. Because of this, mother was kicked out of the family mansion and taken out of the will. Although grandmother is disgusted by the children’s existence, she allows them to stay as-long-as they are kept locked in a room with an attic. Months go by with the children locked in the room, and their mother visiting them less and less, they begin to question what will happen to them.
“Flowers in the Attic” is bad on almost every level, from the writing, to the acting, to the make-up. Seriously, as the siblings get older and weaker, the white make-up is just piled on to make them look pale, but it is pretty, laughable. Although she isn’t given a whole lot to do, Louise Fletcher is easily the best part of the film and I wish they allowed her to have tome more impactful moments, rather than keeping it so one note. The best thing I can say about the film is the look of it. Shot in Massachusetts at the Crane Estate, the location is easily one of the most impressive aspects in the “Flowers in the Attic”.
The transfer is the same as 2018’s UK release and it is fine, but it is the bonus content that makes this a worthy release for fans of the film. I know the adaptation has plenty of fans out there who will find much to enjoy here.
