Fifty years after Pope John XXIII convened the Second Vatican Council that revolutionised the Catholic church, will the jolly man known as the "Good Pope" be declared a saint of the Roman Catholic Church? Perhaps the better question is: should he be, asks Greg Tobin in an article for the Religion News Service, published by NCR Online.
On the evening of June 3, 1963, John XXIII died, his family, doctors and household staff present in the papal apartments where he had lived for four and a half years. The Vatican press office issued this terse statement: "He suffers no more."
Immediately, there was a movement by some close to the deceased pope to have him canonized by acclamation, as saints had been during the early centuries of the church. The first session of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) had ended in December 1962, and the pope had published his landmark encyclical letter, Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth) in April 1963.
He was beloved by people throughout the world who understood the historic significance of his brief pontificate and of his council project.
It was reported at the time that Belgian Cardinal Leo Suenens, who was close to John XXIII and a leading voice in the council, favored a quick move to proclaim him a saint, eschewing the lengthy processes that could sap the energy and enthusiasm from the cause. Suenens said people needed new and contemporary figures as models of sanctity to inspire them in their spiritual lives.
A proposal was circulated among the bishops, urging quick action, but traditionalist leaders and the Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints won the day. John XXIII's successor, Pope Paul VI, announced in 1965 that two sainthood causes would be opened: for both Pope Pius XII and John XXIII. Two investigations began, one of which culminated in 2000 with John XXIII being beatified, or proclaimed "Blessed," the penultimate step to sainthood.
Only 80 of the 264 popes are officially recognized as saints (not counting St. Peter himself, but among his successors as bishop of Rome). In the last 400 years, ever since the church strictly formalized the process for canonisation that includes investigations and verifications of miracles, only two popes have been declared saints: Pius V (16th century) and Pius X, the first pope of the 20th century.
So, despite the enthusiasm of the rank-and-file and even many highly placed supporters, the chances for any pope achieving sainthood are surprisingly slim.

Dr. Spry, what do you think about these alternatives to dialysis: Wearing an artificial kidney? Wearing an artificial kidney makes it easier for people to wear and move around with without having to use a dialysis center or dialysis machines. Xenotransplantation? Xenotransplantation uses animal organs in place of human organs like kidneys. Bionic kidneys? A Bionic Kidney is a bio-hybrid device that is moved by the heart which filters wastes and toxins rom the bloodstream and balances sodium and potassium and regulates blood pressure. And a bionic kidney replaces the need for dialysis. What do you think of these dialysis alternatives?
All of these areas that you mention are active in clinical research at the present time. The only one in actual human testing at the present time is the wearable artificial kidney (WAK). As far as I know, less than … Continue reading →

Club Explores ‘The Beauty Queen of Leenane’
Third Avenue PlayWorks’ play-reading club will meet next on March 15, 3:30 pm, at the Sturgeon Bay Library to discuss Martin McDonagh’s The Beauty Queen of Leenane.
Set in the mountains of Connemara, County Galway, the work tells the darkly comic tale of Maureen Folan, a plain and lonely woman in her early forties; and Mag, her manipulative, aging mother, whose interference in Maureen’s first – and potentially last – loving relationship sets in motion a series of events that is as gothically funny as it is horrific.
The play-reading group meets in person at the library, 107 S. 4th Ave. in Sturgeon Bay, as well as virtually. Visit doorcountylibrary.org to get the Zoom link.

There’s an old book we’ve had in our office for over 20 years titled The Millionaire Next Door, which was published in 1996 by Dr. Tom Stanley and his colleague Bill Danko. Every time we open it up again, right off the bat you see “Wealth is what you accumulate, not what you spend”.
(It reminds us of one of our favourite lines by Morgan Housel in his book The Psychology of Money- “Wealth is what you don’t see.”)
Stanley’s book goes on to show that many people in high income occupations (i.e. Doctors, Lawyers, Dentists) have an especially hard time accumulating wealth, as they are expected to project a high-status lifestyle which in turn eats up the majority of their earnings. Said another way… many spend almost all of their income!
Here are some key lessons and principles for wealth accumulation from their book, which was based on extensive interviews and studies with over 1200 millionaires.
Lesson 1: Spending vs. Accumulating Wealth:
Stanley emphasizes that wealth is not about how much you spend but what you accumulate. Surprisingly, even high-income earners often struggle to accumulate wealth as they succumb to societal expectations of projecting a high-status lifestyle. However, the secret lies in spending less than you earn, regardless of your income level.
Lesson 2: The Path to Building Wealth:
Contrary to popular belief, most millionaires interviewed in the book did not live extravagant lives. They were remarkably frugal, regardless of their income levels. Surveys reveal that they spent minimally on luxury products or services like cars, watches, or suits. Their focus on frugality allowed them to channel their resources towards wealth accumulation.
Lesson 3: Cars
The chapter “You Aren’t What You Drive” sheds light on the relationship between cars and wealth. Millionaires rarely buy new-model cars and are less likely to own foreign or luxury vehicles. They prefer to buy, rather than lease, and tend to hold onto their vehicles for extended periods. In contrast, high-income earners who struggle to accumulate significant wealth often own luxury vehicles, leasing or financing them, hampering wealth creation.
Lesson 4: Investing for Long-Term Growth:
Nearly all millionaires (95%) surveyed owned publicly traded stocks as part of their investment strategy. They displayed patience by holding onto these stocks for long periods, allowing compound earnings to grow their wealth in a tax-deferred manner. In contrast, those who under-accumulated wealth tended to favor low-risk investments like cash or government-insured savings.
The book also has some great ideas on how we can help our children develop stronger habits too, such as avoiding to provide our children with handouts. You can feel confident that it is far better, as they say, to teach our children to fish rather than just provide them with fish.
I think Warren Buffet summed it up best when he said the following about his late long-time partner Charlie Munger:
“Charlie [Munger] and I always knew we would become very wealthy,” he told us, “but we weren’t in a hurry.” After all, he said, “If you’re even a slightly above average investor who spends less than you earn, over a lifetime you cannot help but get very wealthy — if you’re patient.”
(We agree with this statement and our experience with our clients parallels this view).

Within the past month, the two biggest names in rap right now have worked Lauryn Hill’s 1998 classic “Ex-Factor” into hit songs. Cardi B interpolated Hill’s song into “Be Careful,” her Invasion Of Privacy hit about infidelity. And even more prominently, Drake sampled it on his smash “Nice For What,” the reigning #1 song in America for the third week straight. Incidentally, this wasn’t the first time Drake sampled a hit from The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill on a track; he also flipped “Doo Wop (That Thing)” into a 2014 loosie called “Draft Day” that has not aged so well due to its repping for Johnny Manziel.)
It’s about time Hill herself got in on the fun, and as Pitchfork reports, she did so last night at the Apollo Theater. Onstage at the legendary Harlem venue, Hill performed a remix of “Nice For What” infused with live band instrumentation and featuring her own spin on the lyrics.
Hill’s new hook: “See this is ‘Ex-Factor’/ He took the sample/ My shit is classic/ Here’s an example.” Watch it go down below.

Israel lifts travel ban on Palestinian football players after FIFA complaint
On Saturday, Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic intelligence agency, denied entry to six players from Gaza’s Shabab Khan Younis football team which was due to take on West Bank-based squad Ahli Al-Khaleel in the second game of the Palestine Cup final.
In addition to six players, two members of support staff were also refused the crossing because of the “severe negative security background,” Haaretz reported.
On Sunday, the head of the Palestinian Football Association, Jibril Rajoub, filed a complaint about the incident to the international soccer governing body, FIFA. Following pressure, as The Times of Israel reported, Israeli authorities went on to reverse the ban.
The second leg match will now take place on Tuesday in Hebron, in a game which is being led 1-0 by Ahli Al-Khaleel after the first match of Palestine Cup, played by the winners of the West Bank Premier League and the Gaza Strip League.
Israel continues to interfere in the sportsmanship of the Palestinians. Last week, Israel barred seven Hebron-based Ahly al-Khalil players from entering the Gaza Strip to play Shabab Khan Younis.
The movement of Palestinian players between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip through the Israeli-controlled territory, has been a hot topic over the last year.
A member of FIFA since 1998, Palestine filed a motion with the body seeking Israel’s expulsion over restrictions it imposes on the movement of Palestinian players. The Palestinian Football Association later withdrew the motion as part of a compromise that agreed to establish a committee to ensure freedom of movement for Palestinian players.

Australian ad-supported digital music service Guvera has struck a content partnership deal with indie Liberation Music Group, part of the Melbourne-based Mushroom Group of Companies.
The Australia-only licensing deal is the first news from the Gold Coast-based digital media company since it launched its music service in the United States and Australia at the end of March (Billboard.biz, Feb. 19).

As previously reported, Guvera is a brand new take on the ad-supported digital music model (Billboard.biz, Feb. 19), which links brands with music fans via user-created "channels" where registered customers can host and play MP3 downloads, in exchange for consumer data.
Following existing licensing deals with Universal, EMI Music, Shock Entertainment, INgrooves, and IODA, all of whom receive a cut of advertising reveues for each track downloaded, Guvera now boasts a digital library of three million songs.
Through the new pact with Liberation, Australian users can now access and download tunes from big-name local acts like Jimmy Barnes, Kasey Chambers and the Temper Trap plus international artists like Dizzee Rascal and Kaiser Chiefs.

While the family members of a teenaged youth have said that they have presented their son before the police and they finally handed him over to NIA, now the former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti has said that she will write to Union Home Minister Amit Shah about this matter to seek his release.
Mehbooba Mufti said that the young boy is in the custody of NIA and said that such measures of the government will prove counterproductive.
The family members of 19-year-old Arsalan Feroz of Zaldagar area of Srinagar who was arrested by NIA on December 31 met Mehbooba Mufti on Monday and apprised her about the whole case and appealed to her to intervene in the matter.
NIA after the arrest of the youth has said in its official’s statement that Arsalan is a TRF operative, however, the family term the charges as baseless.
According to new agencies while reporting about the utterances of Mehbooba Mufti it said in their reports on Monday as follows.
We will write to the Home Minister of India, will talk to him also, if he (Arsalan) is innocent he should be released, Mehbooba said.
She said Arsalan was handed over by the family to the police on October 21 last year, and he was questioned in various police units for 40 days and was later released.
I don’t know why the NIA arrested him, even though the family handed him over to the agency. NIA claiming that he is TRF operative, but family saying otherwise, Mehbooba said.
“He is a student and not a mechanic. He was questioned for 40 days by police and given a clean chit. Why was he arrested and such an allegation was leveled against him.
He was also not a stone pelter and is innocent and there is also no FIR lodged against Arsalan in the past or present… Since the local police have no interference in the NIA matters, it is being looked after directly by the Home Ministry of India and we will write to the Home Ministry and will also speak to them, she said.
Arsalan was arrested on Thursday by the NIA which said he was an operative of ‘The Resistance Front’.
NIA conducted a search in Srinagar and arrested the TRF “operative”, Arsalan in a case of radicalizing, motivating and recruiting youth of J&K for the Lashkar-e-Toiba. The agency said till now four accused have been arrested in the instant case.
Regarding the recent protest held by the activists of Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD), after all senior leaders of the alliance were put under house arrest by the authorities in Srinagar, Mehbooba said, it was not only against the delimitation Commission report, but against the abrogation of 370 and Article 35A and all that authority which are being snapped day in and day out by the Central Government.

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) systems are powerful tools that balance your supply and demand in your manufacturing operations. Today, many people refer to enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems as well. How do MRP and ERP relate to one another? ERP is an extension of the MRP concept and incorporates the fully integrated operation from order to cash to meet customer fulfillment and satisfaction.
MRP and ERP Software: What Are the Differences?
MRP and ERP have their similarities, but the systems are quite different. The biggest difference between ERP and MRP is that MRP is more of a standalone manufacturing software while ERP software is more integrated and supports several modules for total business control.
MRP is an internal supply chain management system complete with fantastic “what-if” capabilities and all the generated suggestions a planner, scheduler, buyer, inventory manager, etc. could want. So, why aren’t you using it? Or, if you are using it, why isn’t it working the way it should be?
If you find yourself asking either of those questions, here are some key concepts to look at before you begin to implement MRP. Or, if you’re currently running it and struggling, where in your business process should you look in order to optimize what an MRP system can do for you?
At its core, MRP answers a few simple questions:
What do we need?
How much do we need?
When do we need it by?
If you’re having problems with scheduling, purchasing, and inventory, most likely it is with the quantity of the item, the timing of the item, or both. We’ll look at some pivotal functional areas of your business and what you can do to better qualify those issues and the potential resolutions. Here are a few concepts that will help along the way:
Invest in the setup of your system and the personnel using it: Developing the knowledge, skills, and capabilities of your people will help maximize the utilization of the system’s functionality, its adoption, and the trust associated with information accuracy.
Have a documented process: This limits variation and is the foundation for repeatability and success. It is a lot easier to identify discrepancies and errors when you have a known methodology for your processes.
“The Golden Rule”: If it is done “physically,” tell the system. If it is done in the system, you should “physically” do this.
Real-time reporting is pivotal: If you have the expectation that the best decisions are made when the information being evaluated is both accurate and up to date, then get as close to real-time reporting as you can for best results.
Not only does MRP balance supply with demand, but it’s also a harmonization across several disciplines within the organization, including engineering, purchasing, inventory management, sales entry, scheduling, shop floor control, and reporting.
There are other ancillary support systems, but in most small to mid-sized companies, people can have multiple duties and responsibilities over several of these functional areas. That’s OK. Just know there are requirements in each of these that are critical for executing MRP successfully. If you’re one in an organization that doesn’t have a comprehensive team, then it’s best to segregate and focus on one functional role at a time, knowing that there may be dependencies that overlap in other business units.
A proactive approach to MRP would suggest an analysis of engineering (specifically your methods of manufacturing and routings), purchasing, inventory, scheduling, and production reporting. It’s a holistic approach to your business processes and provides the answer to the question: How good are we when it comes to fulfilling a customer’s order?
It’s a sanity check for a “go or no-go” on implementing MRP. It’s not a test of your inherent knowledge of the business, but rather a test of the system on its data accuracy. Proactively looking at the information the system is providing and testing in a non-live environment to gain greater accuracy and results is a low-risk, high reward route. Test, analyze, evaluate, adjust, and repeat.
Only when you are confident the results can be replicated in your live environment should you adjust the process accordingly. Use the resources provided already by your MRP or ERP systems. These include system guides, help menus, and customer support. You can even propose questions to online forums, talk to an MRP/ERP application consultant, post on user group sites, or reach out to IT and industry professionals on LinkedIn.
A lot of people hear MRP and think it’s a quick fix to the problems surrounding planning and scheduling. Unfortunately, it’s not something that can be suddenly turned on and all the problems go away. If your system is giving you poor results without MRP, expect more of the same. The solution is that everyone still needs to enter the correct data in order for the MRP system to process it accurately.
It takes a team effort to critically follow your business processes in the system, identify potential discrepancies and variances, and then fix them. MRP can be a great tool if the data is there and your team is executing properly, but it will be very challenging for your organization if any one segment is not up to par.
Data drives decisions, and an MRP system can give you the power of operational data to help you better run your business and delight your customers. When employed properly, technology is a great tool. Interested in learning more about how MRP works or the similarities and differences between MRP and ERP software, contact us today.

This post is written by Tim Simeone, Visitor Services Specialist for Experience Columbus. You can follow Tim on Twitter @TimSimeone .
My wife and I stumbled upon Elijah Aaron, local musician, at one of the Short North Gallery Hops . He performs in front of his father’s cartoon shop, Palnik Studios at 14 E. Lincoln. His most recent song called “The Buckeye City,” commemorates the city’s bicentennial. You can listen to it here .
When asked about the process of writing his latest song, The Buckeye City, he said “Every songwriter would agree that occasionally there is a song that just flows out without any effort. The Buckeye City was one of those songs.”
The song plays like a tour of Columbus mentioning some great attractions and several neighborhoods. Though it is Elijah’s personal experience of Columbus, it is still one that locals could relate to and visitors could appreciate. Aaron recruited his whole family towards the end of the song, “The singing of O-H-I-O at the end was sung by my brother, sister, girlfriend, and father.” The creativity runs in the family.
Aaron grew up in Bexley, went to school in Boston, and performed his music in St. Louis and throughout the Midwest. He has most recently moved back to Columbus. On why he returned to his home town he said, “Columbus has a lively arts community and I am discovering its vitality daily. Columbus rocks creatively…that is why I came back.”
Elijah didn’t start out playing the guitar. He studied world percussion while in Boston and trained with Jamey Haddad, Paul Simon’s lead percussionist. He is currently playing percussion for Columbus’ BalletMet and OSU Dance Department, “I love the energy of dance and really get into accompanying modern dance.” Aaron’s talent with his guitar and percussion are what make his music so unique and masterful.
When he’s not playing music all around town he likes to visit German Village . “It’s a fascinating place to wander around in,” he says. He also enjoys the Columbus Museum of Art , the Zoo , and he will “never turn down a trip to the North Market .”
We play his music and other local Columbus musicians in our Visitor Center downtown. If you want to see Elijah perform check out his website at www.elijahaaron.com .

Horniman Circle is made up of a strong sweep of stately building facades, laid out in a semi-circle. The Horniman Circle Gardens is at the center of it.
The Circle was constructed in 1860, around what was know as the Mumbai Greens -- a vast 15 acre space opposite the Town Hall where live music was played every evening after sunset. The Mumbai Greens later became the Horniman Circle Gardens, in tribute to Mr.B.G. Horniman, Editor of The Bombay Chronicle.
There's an ancient banyan tree within the Circle, which apparently acted as the venue for India's first stock exchange. Nearby historical buildings include the stock exchange and St. Thomas Cathedral.
Where: Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, next to the Town Hall (Asiatic Library) in the Fort district, south Mumbai.

Listen to Samples
After a nine year break from releasing albums, the Squirrel Nut Zippers return in 2009 with their first ever live release titled Lost At Sea. For a band that carved out their reputation as the 'hottest band in the hall', it seems fitting that the re-launch of the group, who have sold over three million albums to date, will be centered on their strongest suit. Recorded live at Southpaw, in Brooklyn NY, the Squirrel Nut Zippers performed many of their greatest hits and strongest material for a standing room only audience. The band delivers energetic, sometimes loose, sometimes times clairvoyant, but always spirited performances on the album.
Similarly Requested CDs
A Great Comeback For The Zippers.
Rawim | Palmdale, CA USA | 10/27/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)
"It has been over nine years since the Squirrel Nut Zippers (SNZ) have released a new album and seven years since they released their greatest hits compilation. Thankfully I can say that after such a long wait this live album has made the wait worth it.
This CD takes you on a 17 track odyssey of a rollicking live performance by the reformed Zippers in Brooklyn, NY last year (2008). The track list comprises a veritable greatest hits list of the SNZ covering all of the favorites, and the occasional hidden gem.
Jimbo Mathus takes the role of lead vocals and Master of Ceremonies in the majority of the songs. His lead guitar also provides a driving energy for the band. Katharine Whalen also returns with providing her Billie Holiday-esque female vocals to the appropriate songs.
The band sounds just as tight and fun as you would remember them, sadly however former Zipper Tom Maxwell continues to be missing from this iteration of the band and I found his absence noticeable. The lyrics that were originally sung by him just don't quite seem the same when performed either by Jimbo or Kathleen. I find this my only fault with the album, and it is the one thing that keeps me from giving five stars.
If you have been a fan of the Zippers in the past, and remember them for their fun music and great energy, I am sure this album will not disappoint you."
Oh, so THAT's where they've been. They've been lost. At sea.
Ryan Ballantyne | 12/05/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"The Squirrel Nut Zippers used to be my favorite band. Sadly, these days I don't listen to them very much; it's not that their music is somehow diminished by the passage of time, but that I can only listen to the same recordings so many times before wearing them thin. A new CD from the 'Zippers would be fantastic, but since that seems unlikely to happen, this CD is the next best thing.
"Lost at Sea" breaths new life into the old favorites. These musicians have all changed and evolved in the years since the band's untimely demise, and though these songs are (nearly) all recognizably still the same tunes I love, they are mixed up enough to sound fresh and new. The solos, in particular, are almost entirely new, and are the highlight of the album for me. The recording is spot-on; it captures the energy of this peppy performance, flubs and all. The (very) occasional missed note adds to the organic and spontaneous feel of the performance. Even "Missing Link Parade", which (if this show was anything like the one I attended in 2000) is performed at the end of the show while walking through the audience, is well-preserved. Don't be put off by the low quality of the 30-second samples; they don't accurately reflect the content of the album.
Lastly, $5 for the MP3 download of this album is an absolute steal. I don't know if it's a limited-time sale, but in any case, this is worth every penny and more."
Vinyl track listing is different than CD
Marc Richardson | Columbus, OH USA | 04/16/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This isn't a review of the material, just a note to let people buying this know that the vinyl version of this album does not have the following songs on it which are available on CD and MP3 download:
It Ain't You
Ghost of Stephen Foster
(You are My) Radio
I still would have bought it to have a vinyl copy of a great album, but I wish that Amazon had put a correct track listing on the album info...

Zinedine Zidane has compared Anthony Martial to Gianluigi Buffon in an attempt to justify the £36m fee Manchester United paid for the young Frenchman.
Martial was made the most expensive teenager ever when Man United signed him from Monaco on transfer deadline day.
Eyebrows were raised because of the fee but Martial has made a hugely impressive start to life at Old Trafford.
Zidane compared the situation to that of Gianluigi Buffon’s, who became the most expensive goalkeeper ever when Juventus bought him for £32.6m in 2001.
“With transfer fees, what looks big now can look like nothing a few years down the line,” Zidane said.
“People went crazy when Juventus spent all that money for Gianluigi Buffon – how could a goalkeeper be worth that much? Who can now look and say Buffon was anything other than one of the greatest buys ever?”
Martial has been in blistering form for United and it’s safe to say that there are no question marks over his fee now. While the Frenchman still has a long way to go, the sky really is the limit in terms of what he can achieve.

Rare Japanese Papa Nambu 8mm Tokyo Arsenal – Sold Out
Related tags: 14, 8mm, arsenal, japanese, nambu, papa, pistol, Rare, tokyo, type
Quantity Available: 1
This is a Pre-WWII Japanese Papa Nambu pistol. Serial number is 5443 and all numbers match. Almost every small part on this firearm was stamped with at least the last three of the serial number. There is slight pitting, however it has been gone over with a collector grade lubricant and preservative. The bore looks amazing. This pistol is amazing, the recoil rod and spring run alongside the bolt, it uses a striker fired mechanism and the barrel moves backwards when fired, unlocking the bolt. The beautiful craftsmanship makes this one a piece that needs to be in any collection. There is handwritten kanji on the right grip. Overall condition is good and everything still functions, it is missing one grip screw. The Tokyo Arsenal stamp is clear. The magazine is stamped 4820, so it is the correct age, but not the original magazine.

Rated "Top Quality" and "Best Buy" by UK magazines
I use mine (V501 heated vest) all year round and not just on the bike. Dog walking, football match watching.
The jacket (J501RP heated jacket) really is unbeatable on those really cold days and nights.
You only need to wear these G301s (heated motorcycle gloves) once to know they're magic.
Keis G701S heated gloves - Warmth, comfort, safety and control for the whole ride
Keis G301 heated gloves - If I had to pick one pair of gloves for long, cold rides it would be these ones.
Very good heating properties from a comfortable jacket that will keep you warm all winter.
In the freezer, they recorded the highest temperature – over 30C – and stayed dry in the dunk test. Battery life on the bench test was huge – way longer than expected.
They feel like a great glove without even getting the heated element going, but once I started using it I wondered how I ever lived without it.
I'm now on my third winter of pretty much living in this heated vest.
If I'm on a bike and it's cold I guarantee I'll be wearing my Keis heated jacket.
In practice the jacket performs very well. The amount of heat is impressive, and it's nicely spread around the body, arms and neck.
The vest doesn't feel bulky under kit and has kept me warm even in sub-zero conditions.
Combines high-quality components and a well-thought-through finish with performance, ease of use and practicality.
I cannot over-emphasise how good these items are - they transform cold weather riding.
It took me a while to convert to heated kit, but once I did there was no going back. On the lowest heat setting the battery is good for a full day of use.
It’s no exaggeration to say that wearing the Keis G501 heated gloves has transformed my winter riding from a shivering ordeal to a comfortable pleasure. I really can’t recommend them highly enough.
One of those things you don't realise you need until you try it. It's all very neat and despite the cable running up the back of the feet, it's actually totally unnoticeable after a few minutes of wearing.
They've been great to have over the cold winter months. Essential riding kit, and thoroughly recommended.
The gloves provide an excellent heat source, which is available via three different levels.
Battery life is impressive and lasts between two and three hours. It's so well tailored that Sarah wears it under regular coats for winter walks.
This vest, with its own battery pack, saved the day.

Games Played at Bay Area Games Day CVIII 2013-09-07
- Dave Eisen(dkeisen)United States
Good crowd this week. Fueled in part by several members conducting mini-auctions of games they wanted to clear out, some very good titles actually.
We also had Wei-Hwa Huang, one of the designers, conducting blind play tests of Roll for the Galaxy, a dice game with clear similarities to Race for the Galaxy. The game is very near release so the focus was on validating that players could learn the rules effectively from the presented ruleset with no guidance from the designer. Lots of excitement all day.
Bay Area Games Day is the largest and longest-running regular event for open gaming in the San Francisco Bay Area. We meet every 4-8 weeks at the Los Altos Public Library, 13 S. San Antonio Rd., Los Altos, about 15 miles west (north?) of San Jose.
Further information about the group and the related Silicon Valley Boardgamers available at our Yahoo group: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/gamesday
We are meeting again on Saturday, October 5, and Saturday, November 2. Here is what we played this week.

Royal News Special Report: Betrayal in Britain, On the Run in Ulster
In 2003 a proposal to make this agreement law was made public and was to be tied to the disarmament of the IRA. British loyalists were outraged and Sinn Fein rejected the proposal as well (and why accept a deal when the other side seems always prepared to give more) but the traitor Tony Blair was determined to press on. He wanted all loose ends tied up so he could be hailed as the man who brought “peace” to Northern Ireland after all. So, in 2007 a secret operation was put into effect to find and evaluate the “on the runs” by the Police Service of Northern Ireland. None of the public knew anything about this until recently when the deal was brought before a judge at the Old Bailey. It was then that we learned from Gerry Kelly of Sinn Fein that some 187 of these republican terrorists had received letters from the British government assuring them that they were in no danger of arrest or prosecution for the crimes they committed as part of the IRA. One of the particular cases to emerge was that of John Downey who was suspected of murdering four soldiers in the 1982 Hyde Park bombing by the IRA. The judge ruled that he could not be prosecuted because of the letter he produced, from the proud traitors in Her Majesty’s government, promising him immunity.
Perhaps it should not be that surprising, given how, aside from these “on the runs” the British government seemed positively giddy to let all republican terrorists go free anyway. Nonetheless, it is positively outrageous that any of Her Majesty’s officials should have endorsed such a plan when dealing with people who were the open and avowed enemies of the Crown and who wished to do any and all harm possible to Her Majesty’s government and any and all of Her Majesty’s loyal subjects. Yet, starting with the actions of Tony Blair (he must have been doing this in his free time when he was not undermining the monarchy and destroying the House of Lords) this represents just one more step in the slow surrender of the United Kingdom to the republican terrorists in Ulster. It would be nice and easy if the Republic of Ireland could somehow be blamed in all this but, shamefully, this is an entirely British affair. It is not as though they are bowing to pressure from the Irish Republic, it is not as though this is a struggle between two powers for a disputed territory. No, this is a surrender to one faction of treasonous republicans who lost their war against the Crown and yet who continue, even to this day it seems, to reap the spoils of victory.
This is positively outrageous and I think it is no exaggeration to say that those responsible are guilty not only of a “dreadful mistake” as “Call Me Dave” Cameron said but of nothing less than treason to their Queen and country because like it or not (and many certainly do not) the six counties are part of the United Kingdom and Her Majesty the Queen is the lawful sovereign over them and any who undertake the death or overthrow of the Queen or the Queen’s legitimate governments are by definition traitors. Given what these people were involved in and given the behavior of the government in endeavoring to set them free, I fail to see how it can be considered as anything else.

Russia Approves Official Gay Rights Protest
For the first time since enacting their federal anti-gay laws last summer, officials in Russia have agreed to allow gay rights activists to hold a protest.
Gay Star News reports that on May 8, city officials gave the okay for gay rights activist Alexander Yermoshkin to gather 100 people to release balloons into the sky on May 17 for International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.
The law bans the dissemination of "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships" that would "undermine the security of Russian society," especially as regards minors. The legislation is broad enough to effectively ban any public display of LGBT culture.
Although some activists joined a May 1 protest in St. Petersburg against Russia's anti-gay laws, the march wasn't specific to gay rights, but rather coincided with the celebration of May Day.
"What happened in St Petersburg was very cool, but it is still far from a trend," said Nikolai Alekseev, a LGBTI activist in Russia. "The authorities are continuing to ban the freedom of expression, and courageous people like these ready to face insults and fists are the ones that are making a difference."
Gay Star News reports that all other public events against the discrimination of LGBTs have been banned, including a call to allow the gay community freedom of movement in a single visa, and a tribute to the gay victims of the Nazis during World War II.

Mexico, the nation from which most illegal immigrants are from, has continued to see murders dramatically increase unabated. FRONTLINE reports:
Over the course of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the number of civilian deaths has been staggering. In Afghanistan, more than 26,000 civilians are estimated to have died since the war began in 2001. In Iraq, conservative tallies place the number of civilians killed at roughly 160,500 since the U.S. invasion in 2003. Others have put the total closer to 500,000.
But as U.S. involvement in each nation has dropped off in recent years, killings much closer to home, in Mexico, have steadily, if quietly, outpaced the number of civilian deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq combined.
Last week, the Mexican government released new data showing that between 2007 and 2014 — a period that accounts for some of the bloodiest years of the nation’s war against the drug cartels — more than 164,000 people were victims of homicide. Nearly 20,000 died last year alone, a substantial number, but still a decrease from the 27,000 killed at the peak of fighting in 2011.
Some counts have blamed the Mexican drug war for as much as 55 percent of all homicides.
Others have put the estimate as low as 34 percent. Yet those figures have likewise been criticized as unreliable. For example, someone killed by a high-caliber or automatic firearm would be counted as a victim of organized crime, but if they were strangled or stabbed to death, they would not necessarily be considered a casualty of the drug war.
“In any of this data, a lot of dead people are not counted,” said Molly Molloy, a border and Latin American specialist at New Mexico State University. Molloy has focused her research on counting the dead in Mexico, and in an interview with FRONTLINE said: “The violence engendered by the system as a whole in Mexico is so huge and affects so many people in various violent ways, I think you have to look at the murders as a whole, because how are you going to separate them?”
As importantly, how do you separate the violence in Mexico from the United States without anything like a wall to hinder that migration of violence?
Kate Steinle is not an exception, and certainly not “a little thing” when one reads these shocking statistics.
Mexico is more violent than the Afghanistan and Iraq warzones combined for innocent civilians. Looking at these statistics, Kate is an indication of many more murders to come until sanctuary cities are stopped, border control is instituted, immigration controlled, and malefactors of ANY crime returned to their home country or put in prison.
This problems is, instead, a train wreck gaining speed and coming across the border. And what is the Obama Administration and cover boy Rep. Luis Gutierrez planning to do about this? “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” that includes more open borders.

Some parasitoid flies exploit odors derived from plants as olfactory cues for locating the food plants of host insects, but the role of visual cues associated with plants remains largely unknown. The generalist tachinid Exorista japonica Townsend (Diptera: Tachinidae) is attracted to odors derived from maize plants [Zea mays L. (Poaceae)] infested by the larvae of Mythimna separata (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). In this study, we examined the effects of visual parameters on the olfactory attraction of female flies to host-infested plants. A paper plant model of one of four colors (blue, green, yellow, or red) was placed in front of a host-infested plant, which was hidden behind a mesh screen in a wind tunnel. The landing rate of females was significantly higher on the green plant model than on the other three models. When an achromatic plant model of one of four gray scales (white, light gray, dark gray, or black) was tested, the response rate of females was significantly higher towards the white model and decreased as the brightness of models decreased. Few female flies responded to the green plant model without odors of the host-infested plants. When the four color plant models were placed together in a cage filled with odors of host-infested plants, females remained significantly longer on the green model than on the other three models. These results showed that E. japonica females preferred the color green when odors of the host-infested plants were present and suggest that E. japonica uses visual as well as olfactory cues to locate the host habitat.
