With ski season drawing to a close, it’s time to start posting my favourite photos from this past winter. This year presents a challenge because I have so many great pictures. It’s been the best winter for conditions in the 12 years that I’ve been running this blog.
The winter started with reports and photos of Winter Wonderland and it continued throughout the season. Sometimes a phrase can lose it’s meaning by being overused, but not this time.
The conditions on Dec 24 on the Bill Milne trail were a photographer’s dream and it’s doubtful the scenes will ever be repeated. I’m so glad I was there to record it for the history books.
Many of the photos which I’ve collected were taken by Chuck on his remarkable excursions to places that many of us never get to. I’d like to thank Chuck, Steve, Alf and everyone else who submitted photos this winter.
For such a spectacular ski season, it seems to be coming to an unceremonius end with the Corona virus preoccupying everyone’s minds and shutting down access to trails.
This will be one of many posts featuring the photos from this past winter.
These photos bring back fond memories as I sit at home in 14 day mandatory isolation after returning from out of the country. I was so fortunate to be able to ski on those winter wonderland trails. Those images will stay with me for a long time!
Many thanks for sharing Bob.

Last year I attended the one day Do Pause workshop and it has proved to be one of the most valuable events I’ve ever attended and Robert Poynton is a superb facilitator. The day left me with a whole host of practical things I could put into practice straight away, along with deeper things to take away to think about. Over the year since the workshop, I’ve been practising many of the lessons learned, introducing different pauses, all of which I’ve felt has provided me with a slower, more thoughtful way to see things.
During the second half of 2017, I hit a psychological wall. Not suddenly, it had been building for a while. I’d lost interest in almost everything outside of my family. At work, everything was going fine, but I was on autopilot. I was struggling to understand what was going on. I no longer wanted to socialise, go to car shows, build cars, make photographs, paint or cycle – all things that had been a massive part of my life up until then. Was it burn out? Mid-life crisis? All I knew was that I felt sad and unable to find joy in any of my interests.
Sometimes it can be hard to provide clarity, especially when you’re not totally clear about things yourself. When leading on a project should I be the one creating the clarity or should I be supporting and coaching others to find their own?
With so much upheaval and disruption due to the pandemic, is it not a good time to reflect on and rethink our needs as a society and as a civilisation? This is an opportunity to reset, to make big changes that would benefit us, humanity and our planet too.

Another major indication that the so called 'Bathroom Bill,' which was quickly and successfully sheparded through the State Senate by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick this week, may die a quiet death in the House, News Radio 1200 WOAI reports.
State Rep. Byron Cook (R-Corsicana), who heads the House State Affairs Committee, told the Dallas 'Morning News' today that he sees no need for a new bill to determine which public restroom people should use.
"There's no evidence of a problem," Cook told the 'Morning News'.
Patrick and other supporters stress predators will take advantage of 'non discrimination ordinances' designed to allow people to use the bathroom and locker room that fits their 'gender identity' to enter women's restrooms, where they will molest women and children.
State Sen. Lois Kohlkorst (R-Brenham) has framed it as a 'women's rights bill,' saying she is afraid that not approving it will thwart Title IX, which allowed expanded women's high school and college sports, by making women unlikely to go out for sports because they won't want to share locker rooms and showers with biological men.
Cook's comments appear to align with the attitude of House Speaker Joe Straus (D-Alamo Heights), who has said that the Bathroom Bill is not a priority. Straus has also indicated he is concerned about the impact the bill will have on buisness.
Patrick has vehemently rejected claims that the bill, technically called S.B. 6, will cost the state billions of dollars in lost revenue, cost jobs, and prompt major event planners to remove events from Texas.
He repeatedly points to Houston, where voters rejected a 'non discrimination ordinance' in 2015, but it didn't affect the January Super Bowl, and Houston has continued to grow as an economic center.
Gov. Abbott, while mocking claims by the NBA and the NFL that passage of the bill might affect their decision on locating events, has not stated if he would sign S.B. 6 if it makes it to his desk this year.

DANNY Shittu revealed Millwall's defenders were "buzzing" after keeping only their second clean sheet of the season against Watford.
The Lions were held to a goalless stalemate at Vicarage Road but stand-in captain Shittu was thrilled to see the club's unbeaten run extended to eight matches.
"This game wasn't going to be easy," he said. "We want to win every game but our main priority was not letting in a goal.
"They're a really good side. They worked us and tested us a team, especially defensively. We're happy to have come here, worked hard and got the point.
"The defenders work so hard on not letting goals in. We're really happy about the clean sheet and so is the gaffer. We're buzzing to come to Watford and get a point.
"We're glad about how things are going at the moment. There's a lot we can do to make things better but we've got a good base now. We're gelling and working well.
"We play Derby next and if we can get three points at The Den after drawing away from home, that's a really good thing. We're eight games unbeaten but we're already thinking about the next three points."
Shittu made 69 appearances for the Hornets between 2006 and 2008 – including during their spell in the Premier League – but the Nigerian said the club had changed almost beyond recognition since then.
Watford were recently taken over by the Pozzo family and manager Gianfranco Zola has since signed a whole host of young players on loan from new sister clubs Udinese and Granada.
"They're a very different team from when I was here," Shittu said. "They've brought in a lot of good players – I was half-glad, half-upset to see them do so well.
"When we were doing our homework on them, I didn't know who half of them were. We watched a couple of things and had to learn about them quickly.
"That's what this league is about because you play against different players every week."

“Gates of the Valley” has always been a vantage point that exemplifies the beauty of Yosemite National Park. While many of us know iconic Yosemite from the “tunnel view”, it is the ground level view of “‘Gates of the Valley” that provides a sense of scale that eternally entrances me. Taking in this view with fresh snow on the ground is nothing less than seeing Yosemite in it’s purest form. The snow seemingly takes back what we have taken from the landscape. Roads, fences, and footsteps disappear all while quietly revealing the true denizens of the valley the deer, coyotes and other animals that live under the towering trees & cliff walls.
Even while protected as a U.S. National Park it’s great to see nature take back the land.

Continuing their strategy of releasing classic jazz albums with altered track listings and updated liner notes, MatchBall Records has released At The Village Vanguard, which is a combination of the entirety of Evans’ 1961 Sunday At The Village Vanguard, and 1962’s Waltz For Debby with one track, Detour Ahead, removed. I recently reviewed MatchBall’s version of John Coltrane’s Stardust, which includes the whole albums Stardust and Standard Coltrane, and At The Village Vanguard is much in the same vein.
Putting the two albums together makes perfect sense, as they are both made up of recordings from the same session. It seems unnecessary to even comment on the music within, as Sunday At The Village Vanguard has become one of the most cherished, revered and listened-to jazz albums of all time.
Evans, LaFaro, and Motian create a wonderful atmosphere, ebbing and flowing through the stirring My Man’s Gone Now, Miles Davis’s hard-bop standard Solar, and the delicate and expressive Jade Visions. The album moves seamlessly into its second half, with Waltz For Debby demonstrating 25-year-old Scott LaFaro’s melodic skill on the bass, and concludes with another Davis cover, Milestones, played with a twist in a minor key, whilst the ambient noise of the Village Vanguard brings a refreshing realism to the recordings.
The album is presented nicely, with biographies of the musicians, the original liner notes written by Ira Gitler and producer Orrin Keepnews, as well as some excellent photographs taken on the night the albums were recorded. All in all, At The Village Vanguard is an excellent album, repackaging both the classic and some lesser-known tracks from a legendary recording.
Gloria’s Step; My Man’s Gone Now; Solar; Alice In Wonderland; All Of You; Jade Visions; My Foolish Heart; Waltz For Debby; My Romance; Some Other Time; Milestones (72.38)
Evans (p); Scott LaFaro (b); Paul Motian (d). New York, 25 June 1961.

New running gear will get us around safely and smoothly. After 40 years, the rubber torsion axles on our Airstream are shot, the brakes are dodgy, and the tires are ticking time-bombs. Brand new running gear will not just help us get around safely, but it'll cushion our ride to prevent damage to the coach and its contents.
Some of these links are "affiliate links." If you decide to buy something based on our recommendation, it would be nice if you used the direct link from this page so that we can make a small commission for referring you (which doesn't cost you anything extra).
Our generation of Airstream uses Duratorque axles. They are made with a rubber core that serves as the suspension system, allowing the wheels to bounce independently of the frame to cushion the ride. After sitting for decades, the rubber tends to dry out and lose its bounce, and the axles need to be replaced. A complete axle assembly also includes brand new hubs, drums, bearings, grease seals, and brakes.
The correct axles are still available, made by a company called Dexter and distributed by a lot of different folks. The most recommended source on Airforums is Colin Hyde, a guy who is difficult to get a hold of, but will get you direct bolt-on replacements. Probably worth the trouble to email him a few times to get what you need.
I bought my axles from Andy Rogozinski from Inland RV Center. He has since sold the business, so I can't vouch for the current ownership. Andy and I agreed to upgrade my axles from 2800 lbs to 3500 lbs each and from 10" to 12" brakes. The larger axles meant I had to slightly modify the frame because the axle tube was a bit thicker and the bolts didn't all line up. The hardware included was mostly not the right size, so I bought other hardware to install at Lowes, which carries Grade 8 fasteners in the hardware aisle drawers. The axles drop-shipped from a company called Redneck Trailer Supplies.
I replaced our rims with brand new ones from Vintage Trailer Supply, and got the matching dome hubcaps. The downside of these rims is they're only rated for 75 PSI. If I had a heavier trailer, that might be a problem, but I don't. Lots of folks change their rims to 16" (also available from VTS) so that they can mount Michelin truck tires instead of trailer tires. I went with 15" rims and trailer tires.
It took me a long time to find trailer tires with good reviews. We settled on Maxxis M8008's, which are massive overkill for our lightweight Airstream, but I'll take overkill any day over blowouts. The most common factory installed tires are Goodyear Marathons. Start a thread on any RV forum, and you'll get several horror stories of members whose trailers have had multiple blowouts on Goodyear Marathons. Maybe it's just selection bias and the fact that there are so many Goodyear Marathons on the road, but I feel more comfortable running tires that don't have such a bad reputation.
Spare Tire Carrier
Airstream didn't originally install a spare tire carrier on our trailer, but the frame is prepped for one. We lose some ground clearance by adding this under the A-frame, but the weight distribution bars run even lower, so I don't expect it's ever going to be a problem.
This handy little device mounts behind your wheel, and through some interesting physics, automatically balances your wheels while they're rolling. Benefits include less wear on the tires, and less damage to your coach from vibration. Inland RV offers a discount on these when you buy them with a complete axle.

Feature Photo: Trammell Crow Company’s Park District project towers above Klyde Warren Park in downtown Dallas. Image: Google Streets.
Dallas (Dallas County) — Commercial Property Executive named Trammell Crow Company the nation’s 2018 leading commercial real estate development firm by activity with nearly 38 million square feet under construction and 34 million square feet completed over the last three years.
Thirty firms were listed by CPE Magazine in its 2018 Top Development Firms ranking. The top 20 are shown below.
Since 2014, TCC has held the top spot, delivering high-quality projects across the United States in a variety of product types, including office, industrial, residential (under TCC’s High Street Residential subsidiary), healthcare, mixed-use and retail.
“This national recognition is a testament to all of our TCC team members, each of whom continue to focus on our firm’s objective of building the best projects, on the best sites, in the best markets” said TCC Chief Executive Officer Matt Khourie. “Additionally, our success would not be possible without the strong support of our equity and debt partners, our tenants, and importantly, the communities in which we build. To those stakeholders, I express our thanks for helping us translate our development concepts into buildings that serve both the community and the business marketplace.”
In Dallas-Fort Worth, TCC’s office has more than 6 million square feet of commercial real estate projects that either broke ground, were under construction or were completed in 2018. Notable projects for TCC’s Dallas-Fort Worth Business Unit include: Park District, The Kincaid at Legacy (being developed under the firm’s residential subsidiary, High Street Residential) and 35 Eagle Phase II.
In Houston, TCC has more than 2.4 million square feet of commercial real estate projects that either broke ground, were under construction or were completed in 2018. Notable 2018 projects include: Park 8Ninety, Fallbrook Pines Business Park and Plastic Bagging & Packaging, Inc. (PBP).
Commercial Property Executive’s ranking of The 2018 Top 50 Developers is a weighted formula based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to: current and future plans, market value of projects completed and under construction, and geographic and property diversification (CPE, December issue).

By Casey Harper (The Center Square)
The federal government is borrowing an average of $5.3 billion per day this fiscal year, the U.S. Congressional Budget Office estimated Tuesday. The new estimate come just days after a top international creditor downgraded the U.S. credit rating.
“The federal budget deficit was $1.6 trillion in the first 10 months of fiscal year 2023, the Congressional Budget Office estimates – more than twice the shortfall recorded during the same period last year,” CBO said. “Revenues were 10 percent lower and outlays were 10 percent higher from October through July than they were during the same period in fiscal year 2022.”
Fitch, considered one of the top three rating agencies in the world, raised concerns about the U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio in its announcement of the credit downgrade from a perfect AAA to AA+, the next tier down.
CBO projects that the U.S. debt will be nearly twice the size of the U.S. economy in 30 years.
“The deficit this year and next year are on track to be 50 percent larger than before the pandemic, despite the fact that the pandemic is over and the economy seems to be growing at a steady clip,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. “No matter what one thinks of Fitch’s recent downgrade, it is clear that they are right that there are plenty of things to worry about when it comes to the government’s finances.”
As The Center Square previously reported, CBO data show that interest payments on the national debt are on pace to become the largest expense for the U.S. government.
In its downgrade announcement, Fitch pointed to the soaring spending over the last decade and Congress’ repeated near-shutdown events as well as its failure to address major financial challenges such as entitlement spending.
“In Fitch’s view, there has been a steady deterioration in standards of governance over the last 20 years, including on fiscal and debt matters, notwithstanding the June bipartisan agreement to suspend the debt limit until January 2025,” Fitch said. “The repeated debt-limit political standoffs and last-minute resolutions have eroded confidence in fiscal management. In addition, the government lacks a medium-term fiscal framework, unlike most peers, and has a complex budgeting process.”
Experts have been raising the alarm about the skyrocketing federal debt for years.

The CRFB has released reports showing that the trust funds for Social Security, Medicare and highways face insolvency within the next decade.
For now, though, it seems little change is on the horizon.
“How do we begin to tackle rising debt and deficits, growing interest costs, and Social Security and Medicare approaching insolvency?” MacGuineas said. “It won’t be easy, but a bipartisan fiscal commission could provide the right opportunity to get those conversations started. With everything on the table – including all parts of the budget and tax code – our leaders should show the American people that they are capable of making the tough decisions to put our fiscal house back in order.”

Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, one of the judges arrested by the Department of State Services, DSS, last weekend, has emphatically claimed that he is persecuted as a revenge from the attorney of the Federation, AbubakarMalami and for granting bail to the ex-National Security Adviser, NSA, retired Col Sambo Dasuki.
The Judge also claimed that his ruling in favour of the NnamdiKanu, the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, among other crucial decisions based on law were the reasons he was being tried.
Justice Ademola revealed that he had ordered the arrest and detention of the Malami over a professional misconduct while he was a Judge in Kano between 2004 and 2008.
According to a letter he allegedly wrote on October 11, to Mahmoud Mohammed, Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), he claimed that he was held for over 24 hours before he was told the reason why he was brought to the DSS office.
“..Upon signing the document, they told me that I am under arrest and ordered me with guns still pointed at me to move outside. As I was going, they told me they were taking me to their office, Department of State Services (DSS) office, without showing any warrant of arrest.
“I obeyed them and about six o’clock in the morning; I was whisked away from my residence to the DSS office without any warrant of arrest or reason for my arrest.
“From the time of my arrival at the DSS office, at about 6:45am on 8/10/2016, I was not told what my crime was for over 24 hours till the evening of 9/10/2016.
“A DSS official finally informed me that my arrest were based on these three allegations; petition of Hon. Jenkins Duvie dated 4th of April 2016 to the National Judicial Council (NJC); granting bail to Col. Sambo Dasuki and the unconditional release of NnamdiKanu; and using my office to secure my wife’s appointment as the head of civil service, through Senator Bola Tinubu”, the letter read.
Further, he allegedly claimed that his present travails may not be unconnected with his order for the arrest and detention the present Attorney General for a professional misconduct while he was judge in Kano between 2004 and 2008.
“What is more intriguing in this whole episode, is that I see it as a vendetta/revenge from the Hon. attorney general of the federation, Abubakar Malami; whilst I was in Kano between 2004 and 2007 as a federal high court judge, he was involved in a professional misconduct necessitating his arrest and detention by my order,” he said.


Siemens is a world leader in electrical engineering and electronics. Siemens believes in a strong customer oriented approach, which means that the company is actively thinking about technical and societal issues together with their customers. Siemens NL is not conducting much actual basic research through their Dutch subsidiary, SNL is very active in the development stage of new products and services. Reflecting the general structure of the Siemens mother company, Siemens NL is organized according to a matrix structure. This means that divisions have to report to the board of directors of Siemens as well as to the Bereichen of the German mother company. To investigate the issue of inter-divisional communication, Hans decided to look at communication networks into more detail. The visualization gave Hans a first impression of how open or closed the networks actually were. Looking at both networks it appeared that divisional membership formed an important reason for employees to cluster together.

It's been called the Carnegie Hall of the midwest. A place where greats of every genre have graced the stage, but upstairs in The Sheldon Art Galleries, St. Louis is the star.
"This was to celebrate the 250th anniversary of St. Louis's birth or founding," explains Olivia Lahs-Gonzales, director of The Sheldon Art Galleries .
It's two separate exhibits, one that takes visitors back in time, the other shows our city today through the eyes of it's citizens.
"We asked people to send in photos that really talk about their communities, the people in the communities, the architecture, events," Lahs-Gonzales adds.
You'll see 100 framed photographs of places you've been and others you may not know existed. An exhibit that will be on display through August 23rd.

This UX Accessibility Blog Series, “Setting Up An Accessible Web Page,” will walk you through the basic elements of an accessible web page in hopes that you can take what you’ve learned and apply it to more complex pages. This blog series is loosely based on Heydon Pickering’s book “Inclusive Design Patterns: Coding Accessibility Into Web Design.”
Sometimes, to save screen real estate, it is necessary to use a menu icon to denote that the navigation region can be toggled into view. This is very common on small interfaces, such as smart phone screens. Using the hamburger icon to denote a collapsible menu has become convention for showing that menu options can be shown or hidden.
Why do we need an icon at all? Specifically, why the hamburger menu icon (glyphicon-menu-hamburger)?
It’s been long established that images help sighted users comprehend the meaning of certain functions faster than text alone. This is especially helpful when your target audience consists of users that could speak different languages or have poor reading ability. However, this doesn’t mean that we should remove text all together and only use icons to denote meaning. Newer internet users may not understand the meaning of a glyphicon, but they can read the word “menu” next to the icon and understand from then on that icon means “menu”.
The hamburger icon represents a list. As discussed in the “Site Navigation” blog post, navigation sections are conventionally denoted by using an unordered list. The three horizontal lines of the hamburger icon are used to represent a list. Assuming your navigation mimics a list, this greatly assists the inclusivity of your web page by following convention. As Heydon Pickering says in Inclusive Design Patterns: Coding Accessibility Into Web Design, “convention is a friend to inclusion.”
Glyphicons vs SVG
In his book, Pickering recommends using SVG to render icons. SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics and, according to Wikipedia, is an XML-based vector image format for 2D graphics that supports interactivity and animation. SVG images and the behaviors associated with them are defined in XML text files, which means they can be searched, indexed, scripted, and compressed. This can be extremely helpful when it comes to accessibility. SVGs also have the ability to change with the text color. Therefore, if a user has their browser set to invert colors, the SVG will change colors just like the text.
However, SVGs can be a bit more complicated than just using glyphicons, especially since glyphicons come standard in Bootstrap and Ensemble. Since glyphicons are a text font, they tend to behave like text. When the user resizes the screen or inverts the colors of their browser, the glyphicon will react to these changes just as text would. The only downside to using icon fonts is that some users may choose a different font that doesn’t play nicely with glyphicons, such as users have dyslexia and change fonts to reduce the difficulty of reading.
When using a menu hamburger to show that your navigation region is collapsible, it is important to use the aria-expanded attribute to allow assistive technologies to communicate the state (collapsed or expanded) to the user. If your menu is collapsed by default, add aria-expanded=”false” to your menu button. Make sure that the value of the aria-expanded attribute toggles between true and false depending on if the menu is expanded or collapsed.
When considering against using a menu hamburger or any other convention for an element, consider the implications on your users. Especially in the case of collapsible menus, it’s important to follow convention and communicate the menu’s state to maximize the odds that your users will understand exactly what you’re trying to convey.


Anti-Christian persecution can be a straightforward result of explicitly religious motives, such as Islamic State militants who beheaded 21 Coptic Christians from Egypt in Libya in February 2015, or assassins professing loyalty to ISIS who slit the throat of French Father Jacques Hamel in July 2016.
At times, however, Christians fall prey to complex political, military and cultural movements that may have little to do specifically with religion. New developments in the Democratic Republic of Congo offer a good illustration of the point.
This week, a group of 25 Catholic seminarians was evacuated by helicopter by UN peace-keeping forces from a seminary in Malole in Kananga, located in the Kasai-Central province of the country in the south, near the border with Angola. The evacuation followed an armed assault on their seminary in late February.
That assault was led by troops loyal to the late Kamwina Nsapu, a tribal leader who was killed by the Congolese military in August 2016. The evacuated seminarians were taken to Mbuji-Mayi, a city of at least 1.5 million which serves as the capital of the nearby Kasai-Oriental province.
The seminarians had been blocked from taking a road that leads to Mbuji-Mayi because it was under the control of Nsapu forces, and thus had to be rescued by air.
Since the most recent uprising broke out, hundreds have been killed and thousands displaced in central Congo in recent months in fighting between forces associated with Nsapu and the national security forces.
Nsapu had vowed to rid the Ksaia-Central region of corruption, and his followers suspect a conspiracy to destroy his base of support by elites wishing to extend their grip on power. Observers say the situation appears to be becoming more unstable, with intensified violence a strong possibility.
Catholic leaders have been among the most outspoken elements of civil society denouncing the expansion of violence. For instance, in a mid-February statement Bishop Félicien Mwanama Galumbulula of Luiza complained of “exceptional violence and unimaginable atrocities against the population” committed by Kamwina Nsapu militias.
In Congo, Catholic leaders generally play a robust political role as spokespersons for civil society. The current Archbishop of the national capital Kinshasa, for instance, Cardinal Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya, once served in the early 1990s as the de facto head of state during a transition from the regime of strongman Mobutu Sese Seko.
In late 2016, Congo’s Catholic bishops brokered a peace deal between the government of President Joseph Kabila and the country’s political opposition, though more recently that accord has appeared to disintegrate amid renewed bouts of violence.
There’s considerable evidence that the Church’s activism often makes Catholic facilities and personnel into targets for different social forces with grievances of various kinds.
In the wake of the February attack on the seminary, Monsengwo issued an appeal about “the alarming security situation” in the country.
On February 19, a parish church in the Limete municipality of Kinshasa was desecrated by a gang of youth. Monsengwo wrote that “they overturned the tabernacle, ransacked the altar, smashed some of the benches and attempted to set fire to the church. The material damage is considerable.”
Monsengwo said he believes the Catholic Church is “being targeted deliberately, in order to sabotage her mission of peace and reconciliation.”
Catholic nuns have also come under assault. In the eastern city of Bukavu, the Daughters of the Resurrection, an order of African sisters, recently closed seven convents after the killing of several sisters. A Franciscan sister, Marie-Claire Kahambu, was stabbed to death in December.
“When sisters are being attacked and terrorized, it is the universal church which is being targeted,” said Father Chrisantus Ndaga, deputy secretary-general of the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa.
In these cases, Christians suffer violence not necessarily for their doctrinal beliefs, but for the values and humanitarian stances those doctrines inspire.
According to the Center for the Study of Global Christianity, Congo has been the largest producer of new Christian martyrs in the world for the last two decades, at one stage averaging almost 90,000 Christian victims a year.
While acknowledging that many of these deaths might not meet traditional tests for martyrdom, in the sense of occurring for exclusively religious motives, director Todd Johnson nonetheless insists that the majority have died in what he calls a “situation of witness.”
“Rebels, for example, often single out Christians because they do not cooperate with malicious plans to expand rebel territory,” Johnson said. “Such Christians, when they are killed as a result of actions springing from their faith, fit our definition of ‘martyrs’, whether or not those actions were accompanied by explicit proclamations of their faith.”
In Catholicism, the principle that a death does not have to be for exclusively religious motives in order to be acknowledged as martyrdom has already been set by cases such as St. Maximilian Kolbe, who died in Auschwitz in 1941 after volunteering to take the place of another prisoner; Blessed Oscar Romero, shot to death in El Salvador in 1980 for his opposition to human rights abuses and oppression; and Blessed Giuseppe “Pino” Puglisi, assassinated for challenging mafia domination in Sicily in 1993.
What the Congo example suggests is that in the early 21st century, such forms of martyrdom can be staggeringly common.
With more than 35 million Catholics, the Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the ten largest Catholic countries in the world by population and the largest in Africa.

Top paying companies in UK
Money is the main reason people work. That is pretty much true for the majority of the world’s workers, although those with careers that challenge them might not see it that way. If you’re not all that bothered about what you do, but you want to earn well from your time and effort, which UK firms pay the most money?
The truth is that in the job market companies only pay what they have to pay that means that their competitors help create the wage pattern they adopt. If they want the best people, they’ll have to pay the same or more than their rivals so the highest paying firms in the UK are those working in the best paying industries. On average in the UK, Stock Brokers earn the highest amount. You’ll need to work in the City to become part of the top firms like Investec or Killik & Co. Check out a site like londonstockexchange.com for more info.
We’re not suggesting that you use Facebook to find work, LinkedIn is better for that but would you believe that Facebook are one of the UK’s highest payers? For pay and benefits these guys are constantly rated as among the very best in the UK. Check out facebook.com/careers if you’re interested in joining Mark Zuckerberg’s firm.
Jive is another American firm and also another IT company. They market themselves as a “provider of communication and collaboration solutions for business” which basically means that they help other businesses set up on the web. They have an office in Reading so you’ll need to live in the south west or be willing to locate to get a job with this firm which are also rated very highly by their existing staff for pay and benefits. Head to jivesoftware.com for more information.

Artist Promenade, in contrast, is lined with stainless steel square tables arranged to exaggerate a false perspective on cold concrete flooring supplemented by vividly coloured wall meshes which are also protecting the heritage columns. Tables and walls are acting as substrate, if not framework, to suggest exhibitors improvise and create their own display space.

During a debate Saturday with Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT), Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D) became the first Senate Democrat candidate to back packing the Supreme Court with additional justices.
Bullock, who hopes to oust Daines in the November elections, said that should Senate Republicans confirm Supreme Court Justice nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett, he would back Democrat measures to pack the nation’s highest court with additional justices.
“We need to figure out the ways to actually get the politics out of the court. That’s anything from a judicial standards commission, or we’ll look at any other thing that might be suggested, including adding justices,” he said.
Other Senate Democrat candidates such as Cal Cunningham in North Carolina and Theresa Greenfield in Iowa have ignored questions about whether they would back packing the Supreme Court.
Daines said in response, “If you want to politicize the courts, for heaven’s sake, you pack ’em.”
Daines said this marks how radical Bullock is on the issue of the Supreme Court, noting former Vice President Joe Biden has dodged questions about whether he would pack the Supreme Court if he was elected. Democrat vice presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) has also dodged questions about packing the court.
“Even Joe Biden said he wouldn’t answer that question right now.”
“That should be a chilling, profound moment, that has not happened for generations, it’s never been packed. As Montanans, that’s a threat to our Second Amendment,” he said.
— Nathan Brand (@NathanBrandWA) October 11, 2020
In contrast, Bullock said confirming Judge Barrett to the Supreme Court would jeopardize the Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Obamacare.
Daines said he supports a lawsuit that seeks to overturn the ACA. President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have promised to protect patients with preexisting conditions should the Supreme Court strike down former President Barack Obama’s landmark legislation.
Bullock accused Daines of not being a leader when Republicans fought measures to increase mail-in voting in the state.
“Montanans want a leader, not a lap dog,” Bullock said.
Daines, in contrast, said that Bullock would follow lock-in-step with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Daines said that Bullock’s election could lead to “liberal tyranny.”
The debate follows as Daines and Bullock have fought in a heated battle for the Montana Senate seat.
An Emerson College poll released last week found Daines leads Bullock by nine points or 52 to 43 percent. Five percent of voters remain undecided. Daines has expanded his lead since the last Emerson poll was released in August.
Spencer Kimball, the director of Emerson College polling, said, “Montana looks about the same as it did at this time in the 2016 race, we will be looking to see if there is a late break in the state which last time went for Trump giving him a 20 point win.”

No more leasing for Honor Credit Union in Benton Harbor.
The credit union recently celebrated the completion of remodeling work at its 2,500-square-foot branch at 1873 Napier Ave. in Benton Harbor. The newly remodeled offices have an open layout.
An expanded drive thru and two drive-up ATMs also were part of the work done there.
The new office is the work place for eight employees.
Honor had been leasing office space at Orchard’s Mall while the new branch was under construction.
Honor also is expanding its administrative operations into downtown Benton Harbor at 53 West Wall Street. It will be home for the credit union’s Member Solutions Center, also known as the call center, back office operations and a number of management personnel. It will not be open to credit union members.
Honor Credit Union, a $425 million community based credit union, provides a wide range of affordable financial services to more than 38,000 members in 14 counties in Michigan.
Marilyn Arend, vice president of Operations has overseen the building on Napier and also the move to downtown. "We are excited about our new branch and the administrative facilities on Wall Street," she says.

Dianabol is a new sample used today by the oral steroid, which has a strong effect on protein metabolism. Under the influence of Dianabol, the synthesis of proteins is intensified, and thus the production of protein by the body is accelerated. This effect is expressed in a positive balance of nitrogen in the body and in improving the general condition of a person. The balance of calcium is also a positive effect: Dianabol contributes to the intake of calcium in bone tissue. Dianabol is indicated for all diseases and conditions in which the anabolic effect is shown (the effect is directed to the accelerated growth of the protein) and the restorative effect (part of the annotation withdrawn in 1982 from the sale of the German anabolic Dianabol firm Ciba, Ver / Baden).
Dianabol is an oral anabolic that was obtained by the American doctor John Ziegler with the assistance of the firm Ciba-Geigy in 1956. It began selling in the USA for the first time in 1960. And a little bit later it was already on the markets of many countries. For several years, Dianabol has become the favorite and most used anabolic athlete of all sports. 1.05.82 the company “Ciba-Geigy” withdrew all the drugs sold under the trade name Dianabol from sale, and, in all forms of its release, because of abuses. The firm then explained its step to the growing misuse of Dianabol in some developing countries, where this drug was prescribed to increase appetite, to better assimilate the proteins, and without exception, even to women and children. Three years later, on 1.05.85, anabolic veterinary anabol was also withdrawn from sale. Because the patent law of the firm “Ciba-Geigy” for the active chemical substance methandrostenolone (and also methandienone) has not been valid for several years, other companies have the right to provide athletes with this medicine. Manufacturers of the most diverse countries began to market this substance under their own names (see the list of trade names). By its chemical structure, Dianabol is similar to 17-alpha-methyltestosterone. And as a result, Dianabol has a strong anabolic and androgenic effect, which manifests itself in a huge increase in strength and mass. Dianabol is simply a “steroid of muscle mass”, which acts quickly and reliably. Adding one two kilograms a week for the first six weeks is when taking Dianabol norm. The weight gain of the body is made up of the true increase in tissue (hypertrophy of the muscle fibers) and, above all, from a noticeable fluid retention in the body. Dianabol is very easily aromatized, i.e. part of the substance is converted into estrogens, so that Dianabol is not a very good tool when preparing for competitions. Excessive accumulation of water and aromatization can be easily avoided in most cases by simultaneous combination with the use of Nolvadex and Proviron, so that some athletes can use Dianabol all the time until 3-4 days before the competition.
The range of dosages is very different, especially among bodybuilding athletes, weightlifters and athletes of power lifting. This spectrum extends from 2 tablets per day to 20 or more tablets daily intake. Those athletes who believe that they should definitely take a two-digit number of tablets on a daily basis should listen to Ciba-Geigy’s statement about their own drug Dianabol, saying interesting and worthy of attention: “The most obvious criterion for the action of Dianabol is the increase in body weight There seems to be no direct proportionality between weight gain and dosage height. ” Authors R. Hecr and H. De Mare insist on this in his book “hormonal regulation and psychophysical predisposition in big sports,” where on page 55 you can read: “It is impossible to establish any simple interdependencies between the dose taken and the height of its concentration in blood”. It goes without saying that the authors do not mean that from now on every athlete should take only one 5-milligram tablet a day, and yet this statement along with long-term observations help the athletes to pick up for themselves an individual reasonable dose. The daily dose, which really works well for an athlete, is somewhere between 15 and 40 mg per day. Dosage should always correspond to the individual characteristics of the athlete. Beginners in steroids should never take more than 15 to 20 mg per day, because already with this dose in 8 – 10 weeks they can achieve fantastic results. If, however, the effect of the drug on this group of athletes decreases after about eight weeks, and the athlete still would like to continue the course, he should not increase the dosage of the drug, you only need in addition to him to take any injection steroid, such as Deca-Durabolin 200 mg per week or Primabolon at 200 mg per week or completely switch to one of the above drugs.
The use of testosterone in this stage is not recommended. Wait a little, everything is still ahead. For the very impatient and already experienced athletes (athletes of the advanced stage), a combination of Dianabol 20-30 mg per day and Deca-Durabolin 200-400 mg per week will create wonders. Daniel Duchaine himself in his book “The Handbook of Steroids 2″ writes on page 33: “If you do not build a mass with Deca and Dianabol, then do not build anything at all, no matter how good the drug is.
How to bulk up with Dianabol?
In essence, athletes without ambitions with a view to competitions can achieve quite outstanding successes with Dianabol and Deca. The athletes of the big sport, the advanced athletes and those weighing over 100 kg, need a dose not exceeding 40 mg per day, well, in very rare cases, in 50 mg daily intake. It does not really make sense to increase the number of Dianabol tablets to an incommensurable scale, 15 tablets do not work 2 times better than 7 or 8. The daily dose of 50 mg comes from a pure ignorance of the athletes of the facts about the apparatus, or from despair, because in some, due to the uninterrupted or incorrect reception of the steroid, no progress is seen. The simultaneous use of Dianabol and Anapolon 50 is a bad idea, because these two drugs are too similar in their effect, resulting in a situation similar to that when the athlete takes 10 or more Dianabol tablets. Those who are primarily interested in force, and then muscle mass, can combine Dianabol with Oxandrolone or Winstrol (in tablets). The additional intake of any injectable steroid still produces noticeably better results. To increase strength and muscle mass, Sustanon or Testoviron long-acting 250 mg per week and / or Deca-Durabolin 200 mg per week is especially suitable. To prepare for the competition, Dianabol is fit only with reservations, because in many athletes it causes a large accumulation of water and due to its high convertibility in estrogens it makes it difficult for the athlete to reduce fat. Those who do not suffer from this problem, as well as those who have made a hand with Nolvadeks and Proviron, should take Dianabol with steroids in this phase to prepare for the competition: Parabolan, Long-acting Winstrol, Masteron, Oxandrolon, and others.
Because Dianabol only works 3.2 – 4.5 hours, it should be taken at least twice a day to achieve a sufficient concentration of the chemical in the blood. Scientific studies have established that the time of exposure to Dianabol in training days compared with days of rest from them is even shorter, so it seems full of meaning, taking the drug three times a day. Because Dianabol is calibrated for 17-alpha and already this is protected from the loss of its chemical active substance, it should be taken with food, which can often be avoided by advancing gastrointestinal disorders. On the third day after the end of Dianabol, the presence of its active chemical Methandrostenolone (methandienone) in the blood, according to the results of the tests, is negative. This means that the action of the tablets has passed. The athlete should still rely only on the negative urine sample, because the release of the products of the decomposition of methandrostenolone by urine lasts longer. The maximum concentration of the active chemical Dianabol in the blood is reached after an hour – three hours after its administration. Already a simple intake of only 10 mg is manifested in a fivefold increase in the average amount of testosterone in a male. An important reason why Dianabol works well for every athlete is that the endogenous cortisone production is reduced by 50 to 70%. This greatly slows down the percentage of protein breakdown in the muscle cell.
Danabol DS (10mg) company March PharmaceuticalsWomen Dianabol is not advisable, t. on the basis of its strong component, it causes noticeable phenomena of masculinization in women. And yet a sufficient number of athletes bodybuilding and especially athletes powerlifting take Dianabol and at doses of 10 – 20mg a day achieve tremendous success. Women who are not sensitive to an additional influx of androgens, and those that are completely unafraid of the occasional phenomena of masculinization, well manage a dose of 2 to 4 tablets for a maximum of 4 to 6 weeks. Higher dosages and a longer time of administration lead to better results, but the presence of androgens in the female body is noticeable. More than 10 mg per day and 50 to 100 mg of Durabolinum per day over 4 to 6 weeks should not be taken by any woman who values her femininity.
Although Dianabol has many potential side effects, they are rare at a dosage of up to 20 mg per day. Because Dianabol is acclimated to 17-alpha, there is an increased burden on the liver. In high dosages and with prolonged use, Dianabol acts on the liver toxic. And yet, he can even increase the secretion of the liver even at a dosage of only 10 mg per day, which is normal again when the drug is discontinued. Because Dianabol rapidly increases weight by means of strong water accumulation, pressure increase and increased heart rate may occur, which makes it necessary to take an antihypertensive (pressure-lowering agent) in the circumstances, such as Cataprizan. An additional method of Nolvadex and Proviron can be used here, since Dianabol is highly aromatized and easily converted into estrogens, causing some athletes gynecomastia and worsening an already bad condition. Due to the strong androgenic component and its conversion to dihydrotestosterone, Dianabol can cause some athletes to have an increased acne vulgar on the face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. the activity of the sebaceous glands is activated. With a corresponding hereditary predisposition, Dianabol can accelerate hair loss, which is again caused by the high convertibility of its chemical substance into dihydrotestosterone. Dianabol has a significant effect on the level of endogenous testosterone. Studies have shown that taking 20 mg of Dianabol per day for more than 10 days already reduces the level of testosterone production in the body by 30-40%. This is due to the pronounced antigonadotropic effect of Dianabol, i.e. it inhibits the production of gonadotropins (FSH (follicular-stimulating hormone) and LH (lutesinizing hormone)) through the pituitary gland. Another drawback is that as the drug is discontinued, the loss of strength and muscle mass following this is often observed, Accumulated during the intake of the drug in the body, water is again removed from it. In high doses, 50 mg per day, there is in some cases a growing aggressive behavior of the athlete, which, if it was directed solely at training, could be an advantage of the drug. Those who are naturally easy to “explode” by nature should pay attention to this quality of Dianabol, so that its reception does not lead to uncontrolled actions. Despite all the possible problems Dianabol is for most athletes an anabolic “well-being” that improves mood and increases appetite in many athletes in combination with the results achieved and contributes to psychological enlightenment and increased self-esteem.
For years, the only source of Dianabol for athletes is the black market of steroids. There you will find Dianabol of all kinds of colors, forms of release, of various shapes and under a variety of trade names. Those who are interested in buying only the original, should pay attention to the fact that the selected product was included in the list of usual trade names of preparations containing methandrostenolone (methandienone).

text: Abstract: Vitamin E uptake after supplementation varies widely in the healthy population, and preliminary studies have indicated that individual responses are relatively stable over periods in excess of 1 year. This phenotypic stability suggests a genetic basis to this observed variation. To examine this issue further, we examined the repeatability of both baseline plasma α-tocopherol and urinary α-tocopherol metabolite concentrations, as well as individual responses of these parameters after vitamin E supplementation. In the first study, 65 subjects (33 males, 32 females, aged 30.7 ± 7.4 years) provided three plasma and urine samples for α-tocopherol and metabolite analysis with each collection separated by at least 2 weeks. Plasma α-tocopherol concentrations were found to be highly repeatable over this short interval (intra-class correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.85), although the association deteriorated once values were corrected for plasma cholesterol (ICC = 0.64). Similarly, urinary α-tocopherol metabolites 2(2′-carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman acid (α-CEHC) and quinone lactone (QL) concentration were found to display a moderate degree of intra-subject repeatability: ICC = 0.65 and 0.58, respectively. In a second study, plasma α-tocopherol and urinary metabolite responses were investigated in 18 healthy, nonsmoking subjects (12 males, 6 females, aged 33.1 ± 9.1 years) after successive 6-week periods of vitamin E (RRR-α-tocopherol acetate) supplementation at 15, 100, 200, and 400 mg/day. Plasma and urine samples were obtained on days 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 (7 days after the final supplement) of each dosing period and the strength of the underlying association between responses determined using Kendall's tau_b test. Individual plasma α-tocopherol responses at the 100, 200, and 400 mg/day doses were found to be highly associated: τ, 0.51, P= 0.02 [100 vs. 200] and τ, 0.49, P= 0.03 [100 vs. 400] and τ, 0.56, P= 0.005 [200 vs. 400]. Together these data support the contention that α-tocopherol uptake is a stable individual phenotype under genetic regulation.

It was a lively session at this afternoon’s Publishing Expo seminar on outsourcing and production journalism. Those who expected blood on the walls were disappointed, but there were some sharp differences of opinion. I bemoaned the fact that points of view were often misrepresented in this debate, so you’ll have to take my assurance that I’ve tried to be as accurate as possible in summing up the arguments put forward by the rest of the panel.
The point made most frequently was that we ‘had’ to accept a future in which much or all of the subbing and production function was outsourced. This was because of the recession. I made the point that this didn’t ring true as the same arguments were being used when we were in the middle of a boom. My contention was that, too often, technological change was being used primarily or solely as a way of cutting costs, not of improving quality. This is a tremendous waste of technological know-how and opportunity.
While we’ve disagreed in the past, and still do on a number of issues, fellow panelist Roy Greenslade said that we were really both talking about creating new business models for journalism. I think that’s true, but my argument is that we are not yet making quality a central enough part of that discussion.
I didn’t hear much from the rest of the panel to convince me otherwise, as time again we returned to the justification of “inevitability” – a depressing manifestation of our lack of faith in what we can achieve perhaps, more likely just a mission to produce something as cheaply as possible until we wreck it. Express KCS MD Robert Berkeley talked about his firm’s outsourcing operation and how it could meet many editorial needs through its India-based operation, and got to the heart of the debate when he answered a question from the audience. “What happens when wages in India go up to the level of wages here?” asked the reporter from Press Gazette. To which Robert replied: “I think you need to ask what happens when wages here go down to the level they are in India”. He didn’t use the words ‘cheap labour’, or even mention cost. But behind the arguments about technology ‘forcing’ us to do things seemed, to me at least, to be a more basic one about producing cheaply.
I’m not arguing for a minute that any business can survive without considering cost. I just think we’re missing a trick. I watched a fascinating demonstration of the capabilities of Adobe’s CS4 package at today’s show. It’s a million miles from what I was doing as a stone sub over 20 years ago, and a good thing too. But seeing impressive bits of kit such as CS4 merely as a way of using fewer people to produce our media is an enormous waste of potential.
Look at something like Flyp, produced in Creative Suite. There’s real craft gone into that, which required the application of time and effort to develop and execute skills which we couldn’t dream of even 20 years ago. Shouldn’t we be using the time-saved by technological development to improve skills, to give people the time to create something of real quality that will, in the long term, retain readers? Or should we just get one person to use technology to do the job that three did before? The latter may seem attractive in the short term, but I’d argue that a quality product has a better long-term chance of survival.
The debate also touched on the old multiskilling/deskilling chestnut. I happen to think multiskilling is a good thing, if something of an inaccurate description. Very few people are skilled in just one thing. What we’re really talking about is just how many skills an individual can reasonably be expected to develop before the overall level of skill drops. Too often, when we hear ‘multiskilling’, it means deskilling.
I’m going to continue to argue that quality is important, that technology is something we can and should control rather than something we let control us, and that above all the quality of this debate must improve. Journalism will certainly be very different in future, but we still have a chance to ensure more positive changes than those being presented to us now.

A Red Rash Looks Like A Blister On The Hand?
I want to ask, how come my hand suddenly has a red rash, and it feels like a blister that hurts so much that my hand hurts when I bend it
Hello Nyimas, Thank you for the question.
Does this red rash multiply? Where do the rashes appear, fingers, palms, wrists or arms? Your red rash complaints can be caused by various health conditions such as:
contact dermatitis, which is inflammation of the skin caused by contact with certain substances or substances
impetigo, which is a skin infection caused by bacteria
shingles, which is an infection caused by the varicella zoster virus which is re-activated in the body, causing the appearance of water-filled blisters / blisters in certain areas
To ascertain the cause, please consult your doctor immediately. The doctor needs to ask about your complaints and do a direct examination of the skin rash. After knowing the cause, the doctor will provide appropriate treatment. Without a doctor's examination, it is not possible to ascertain the cause and determine the appropriate treatment.
For the time being, please avoid holding the rash or solving the blister rash. Avoid exposure to dish washing soap or laundry detergent for a while. It is also recommended that you avoid rubbing against the rash. You can take paracetamol or other pain relievers to treat pain temporarily.
Hopefully this information is useful.
