My husband & I chose this resort for our wedding. We already have 2 girls (6 & 3) and traveled with 18 people total. It was amazing! Better then we had even expected. We stayed for 9 nights and everything was perfect. We didn't love our view from our room upon checking in & the front desk (DeanPaul, Tricia, Recardo, Shaneque ) were very accommodating & moved us immediately to a view that better suited us. The property is gorgeous, the staff is amazing, the resort activities are great (Nishawn does a fabulous job with the kids) and the food is unbelievably good! The waterpark is great for kids & adults. Beach & pool are both very nice. Lots of activities!!
Our wedding coordinator (Simone) made sure our special day was perfect (and manager AnnaKay is great!!) Our photographer (Nevin,along with the help of Micshane) took the most amazing pictures..I'm a real picture person & he took so many great shots that it was so hard to choose but Isheka from the photo shop sat with us patiently for over 2 hours as we chose our favorites and Kedene helped us along the way as well.
I can't stress enough how great the staffs is! They really make this resort different from the rest. They treat you like you're family and go out of their way to make everything perfect. Donald on the beach is amazing & helpful! Zane from the beach bar went out of his way to make me a little concoction with tea & honey since it was the night before the wedding & I had lost my voice. Sasha & Camille found us everyday to make sure we were happy with our stay. It is truly important to have great customer service at resorts and Beaches Ocho Rios definitely nailed it!
Also thank you to Fiona from the soon come back for all your help. Seante, Charissa, Nathalee and Shaneak...Beaches Ocho Rios wouldn't be the same without you amazing ladies!

Private Diagnosis for Adult ADHD
Step 2: Choose your Private ADHD Assessment provider.
ADHD can only be formally assessed by a UK registered psychiatrist, a specialist ADHD nurse, or “other approriately qualified healthcare professional” [Nice Guidelines].
- A Psychiatrist is a medically qualified doctor who has specialised in psychiatry.
- A specialist ADHD nurse is a qualified nurse with additional formal training and accreditation in ADHD. Specialist ADHD nurses undertake an additional 1 year program to be qualified in assessing for ADHD. The can undertake a further 1 year program to become qualified to prescribe ADHD medication.
- “other appropriately qualified healthcare professional with training and expertise in the diagnosis of ADHD” includes Psychologists. Pychologists can provide an assessment of ADHD; however, they are not able to prescribe ADHD medication.
Other mental health professionals, including counsellors, cannot provide a formally recognised diagnosis of ADHD. (Note: For children a Pediatrician may also be able to diagnosis ADHD] You need a formally recognised diagnosis to access workplace protections. You need Psychiatrist or prescription qualified specialist nurse to have medication as a treatment option.
You should always check that the person you are seeing is a member of the General Medical Council and on their specialist register, You can check their register here. If you have any questions on their record call the assessment company and check their credentials.
At ADHD UK we are looking for ways to provide a rated list of private providers. It is something we are actively working on but unfortunately we do not have anything we can share it this time. If you would like to be first to know when we do launch that please join our mailing list.
Private assessment providers each have their own policy on requiring a GP referral letter – some need one, some do not. We recommend you check with your chosen provider before booking.
Note: If you are looking for a “Shared Care Agreement” [see below] following an assessment it may be worth speaking to your GP prior to your private assessment.
Step 3 – Assessment
Have a specialist assessment with the NHS. This should cover your overall mental health, an assessment of if you have ADHD, and an assessment if you might have any other related or unrelated mental health conditions. This usually, but not always, involves a 45 to 90 minute discussion with a psychiatrist. They may go through a number of check lists.
To help ensure you say everything you feel important we recommend you write down: the reasons why you think you have ADHD, any other mental health concerns you have, your mental health history, and any family mental health issues you are aware of.
Following your assessment your clinician will let you know what the next stage is. One option is a diagnosis of ADHD, with a discussion on whether you want to consider medication options, and a plan for treatment and follow up.
Step 4 – Continued Private Care or returning to NHS care.
Following diagnosis you need to have an ongoing care plan. That generally falls into three options: continued private care from your diagnostic provider, shared care between your provider and your GP (your GP can be private or NHS), or discharged to your GP. You need to discuss these options with your psychiatrist.
Option 4a – Continued Private Care
All follow up appointments and (if applicable) prescriptions are done by your private provider. The positive of this approach should be seamless care. The downside are the ongoing expenses of follow up appointments and private prescription and medication charges.
Option 4b – Shared Care
Care and treatment management is shared between your Psychiatrist and your GP. The exact plan varies but generally it means if you have prescriptions they are generally renewed by your GP and your Psychiatrist provides follow up appointments to discuss how you are doing and your overall treatment plan. If you move to an NHS GP, and have a medication plan, then costs should be limited to your NHS prescription charge rate and you will no longer need to pay the direct pharmacy cost of the medication.
Option 4c – Discharged to GP
Here you are discharged to your GP. You will likely be able to return to your Psychiatrist should you wish or your needs change; however, by discharging you to your GP they are saying it isn’t a requirement for you to see them.
The exact plan varies but generally it means if you have prescriptions they are renewed by your GP, and your ongoing treatment plan will be decided between you and your GP. Your GP may also opt to refer you back to the Psychiatrist on an as-needed basis. If you move to an NHS GP, and have a medication plan, then costs should be limited to your NHS prescription charge rate and you will no longer need to pay the direct pharmacy cost of the medication.
NHS GP Shared Care / Discharged to NHS GP
We strongly believe that a private ADHD assessment by a GMC registered psychiatrist has comparable validity to an NHS ADHD Assessment and should be treated by a GP equally.
We know that many NHS GPs are happy to recognise private assessments; however, we are also aware of some that are not. GPs do have discretion in this area. If your GP is not sure we recommend the following compromise: they refer you on the NHS pathway and while you are waiting they take on shared care or discharged care. That way you can continue treatment and they know the situation isn’t permanent and will revert to the NHS norm in due course.
Step 5 – Next
Being diagnosed is the first step in helping yourself with ADHD and may unravel complex emotions. Many report that a diagnosis can both be a relief to know what has been challenging them but as well they feel upset to know that they have a mental health condition. It is important to remember that nothing has changed because of a diagnosis – except that you are now empowered with the knowledge of it. What you now do with that insight into yourself is then up to you.
We recommend you learn about ADHD, learn and look out for its nuances for you. To help you do that we provide support groups and recommend you join our newsletter. Above all we’re here to help.

Could you please introduce yourself?
Hi, My name is Hugo and I am 35 years old. Born and living in Portugal.
How did a guy from Portugal comes up building snowboards?
Back in 98 when i opened a skate proshop „switchstance sk8shop“ we had the first contact with snowboards and we saw the material going away among our friends and I got pretty stoked on what could be the feeling of ride on snow. 2 years after we decided to close the shop due to import prices rise,(€ sucks!) I kept one snowboard. Stiff as a baseball stick. After riding a few times I said to myself: “Riding a snowboard must be more fun than riding a wood stick.” I started searching for boards and tried a few flex from other friends boards. I didn’t find anything soft so I started searching for snowboard constructions and so on. I ended up landing on 2 websites: skibuilders.com and grafsnowboards.com (tons of precious info ‘how to do’ and also techniques). So I followed every post from anybody across the world for 5 years (and still going there for updates) on the search for pressbuilding, heating system, finishing, fibers and suppliers. Everything you can imagine you’ll find there.
Then one day in 2005 I went to the Asturias in the north of Spain where you find small resorts and some powder. I cracked my nose and said to a friend who were climbing with me: „I am going to build a snowboard“ and the friend answered: „Are you crazy or what, how?“ 3 months later i was finishing to build my first press with the help of some friends…. and since then I never stopped. I am always searching for the prefect board for the perfect descent. Because I was born and living next to the ocean doesnt mean I don’t dream of snowboarding. Even when I am surfing which is almost everyday I always try to mix the 2 worlds on the pursuit of the best feeling of snowboarding. Even on ice.
On which projects are you working on right now?
I worked on many projects. Some mine some with partners across Europe and ended up „alone“ on FRESH LINES BOARDS with the same vision: Creating great shapes.
What do you do for a living?
I am building snowboards and surfboards. Repairing surfboards, working on my family business on sundays which is already much. To stay alive I surf.
Is there any favourite snowboard spot? And why?
My favorite spot is the Tirol area and staying in Innsbruck with local friends. You go to where are the best conditions with your local friends because they got the tirol pass and you can go everywhere its dumping and you follow them.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I really don’t know. Life is too short. Why think too much about the far away future. I wish to see myself in 5 years with legs to surf and ride powder.
Tell us something about your home.
My home, Well…. good food, best in country, average to worldclass waves. Just for a few weeks we got snow in the winter. I am close to OPORTO airport which got Ryanair to get to every corner in Europe. It’s cheap and I am surrounded by my family who supports me a lot.
How does a typical day in the life of Hugo Batista Cacola looks like?
– Take my son to the kindergarden
– First check the webcam in bed at 7 am
– Surfsession (or wait while working) and then shape boards, finishing boards, work on projects
– another surfsession at the end of the day if its summer
– dinner, sex and sleep
What springs to mind for the following keywords?
– Social Media – Needed crap
– Music – punkrock
– Role Model – whatt??
– Flow – POWDER
– Inspiration – waves
– Adventure – mountain

‘Green Lantern’ failed miserably upon its release and the reason isn’t an enigma to anyone, especially its lead actor Ryan Reynolds who spilt the beans on what went wrong with the film.
Before breaking all superhero conventions in ‘Deadpool‘, Ryan Reynolds witnessed a massive failure with the 2011 film ‘Green Lantern‘. It’s the perfect case study of how a studio and its executives can botch a film with immense potential. While Reynolds has never denied the failure of ‘Green Lantern’, he finally explains it in clear terms. Read further to find out what he disclosed!
- ‘Green Lantern’: The biggest superhero blunder
- Ryan Reynolds’ revelations on the failure of ‘Green Lantern’
A DECISIVE TRAGEDY
As the events unfolded, ‘Green Lantern’ was not able to live up to its expectations. It barely broke even at the box office by earning a stingy surplus of $19 million over its $200 million wasteful budget. To make it worse, besides being a financial failure, the film was a creative travesty. It is absolutely torturous to sit through the two-hour-long visual and storytelling abomination.
The film is so bad that Reynolds himself had never watched it completely until very recently. Upon his first complete watching of ‘Green Lantern’, Ryan Reynolds expressed that he has remained grateful to the cast and crew that put its best forward during the making. The actor has expressed,
“Hundreds of incredible crew and cast members did amazing work — and while it’s not perfect, it ain’t a tragedy. Next time I won’t wait a decade to watch”.
While we would like to disagree with the actor that the film is not a tragedy, because it certainly is, Ryan Reynolds took this opportunity to explain why, according to him, ‘Green Lantern’ failed.
GOOD OL’ HOLLYWOOD
Despite Ryan Reynolds’ gratitude towards the cast and crew of ‘Green Lantern’, in the end, their efforts amounted to nothing. The execution of an idea becomes secondary when the idea itself is lacking, as in the case of ‘Green Lantern’. The film never had a hawk-eyed vision, which is necessary to deliver a successful project.
From the beginning, ‘Green Lantern’ was all over the place, leading to its failure, as disclosed by Ryan Reynolds,
“Well it’s simple: Deadpool always knew what it was. With Green Lantern, I don’t think anyone ever figured out exactly what it was …”
While Reynolds explains the truth when he says that the promise of ‘Green Lantern’ was never laid out, the makers had made sure what the film was not going to be. The studio ended up taking away the essence of the Green Lantern comics and added their own spice, overpowering and throwing off the film’s balance.
Ryan Reynolds also puts the blame on the same for ‘Green Lantern’s’ failure because, as per him, the film’s marketing was prioritized over its writing. For all the aspiring producers reading this, this is a recipe for a disaster. Ryan Reynolds did not mince his words while coming clean about why ‘Green Lantern’ failed and explicitly blamed the practices and culture in Hollywood:
“(‘Green Lantern’) also fell victim to the process in Hollywood which is like poster first, release date second, script last. At the time, it was a huge opportunity for me so I was excited to try and take part in it.”
Clearly, Ryan Reynolds tried his best as he and his co-actors were the only saving grace of the film. However, no actor, even a brilliant one, can carry the weight of intense studio meddling, a director who lacks vision, and a terrible screenplay. ‘Green Lantern’ was laden with creative and executive blunders from pre to post-production and nothing could have saved it.
If the entire ‘Justice League’ row was not enough, ‘Suicide Squad‘ director David Ayer has also revealed his cut was snuffed by Warner Bros. According to this, Ryan Reynolds was right in blaming it for the failed ‘Green Lantern’. Will Warner Bros. or Hollywood at large ever pursue course correction?
Do you agree with Ryan Reynolds’ reasons for the failure of ‘Green Lantern’? Comment below!

What is Rick Santorum thinking? The path for him to win the 1,144 delegates required to clinch the Republican nomination by the end of the primary season looks impossibly difficult. So how does he see himself winning the nomination, and then becoming president?
The answer: “a two-month campaign.”
Arguing that neither he nor Mitt Romney will be able to sew things up by the last GOP primary in June, Santorum envisions spending July and August trying to persuade individual delegates to support him and “put together the coalition that’s necessary for you to get the 1,144.” He and his delegates would then move on to the Republican convention, scheduled to begin Aug. 27 in Tampa, Fla.
Once a nominee is chosen at the convention — who knows exactly how that will play out — the general election campaign will last just two months, September and October, before the presidential election Nov. 6.
That two-month campaign would greatly reduce the effectiveness of Barack Obama’s zillion-dollar campaign war chest, Santorum argues. “If we have only a two-month campaign, their money advantage — and it will be an advantage — won’t make as much difference,” Santorum says, “because there’s only so much money you can spend in two months, there are diminishing returns after a while. But if we have a nominee next week, all of the money advantages they have now are going to be trained on destroying whoever the nominee is.”
“It’s the best-case scenario for us because it shortens the campaign,” Santorum told a small group of reporters at a breakfast in Washington on Monday. “Resources don’t matter as much. I mean, they matter, but the advantage they would have over any Republican nominee, resource-wise, would be diminished because of the short time frame.”
Put aside whether it is possible for Santorum (with the help of Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul) to hold Romney short of the 1,144 mark by summer. Even if Romney falls short, many Republicans view Santorum’s “best-case scenario” as the worst-case scenario, a disaster for a deeply divided party that would inevitably lead to defeat in November.
Santorum absolutely rejects the argument. “It is the best thing that could happen,” he says.
Of course, if Republicans spent the summer without a nominee, there’s no reason the president couldn’t attack all the candidates. “Obama is not going to wait until after the convention and then all of a sudden open fire for the general election campaign,” says David Norcross, a former top Republican National Committee official. “He’ll just fight a two-front war and then later fight a one-front war.”
And if there were no nominee, then two, or possibly three, GOP contenders would spend the summer bashing each other — doing the president’s work for him. In addition, the outside spending groups that are currently divided among the GOP candidates would continue attacking each other — not uniting to attack Obama.
And then there are the various organizations associated with the Republican Party, nationally and in the states, that are preparing to jump into the campaign on behalf of the party candidate. All sorts of work is being done inside party organizations with the thought of working for the eventual candidate. That work would fall alarmingly behind schedule if there were not a candidate before the convention.
Asked about Santorum’s remarks, one party insider said, “There are people throwing out scenarios that they haven’t thought through. There are certain logistical things you can’t put together in eight weeks.”
The Romney campaign, of course, has been trying for weeks to convince Republicans that the race is over. “Each day Sen. Santorum continues to march up this steep hill of improbability is a day we lose to unite in our effort as Republicans to defeat President Obama,” Romney political director Rich Beeson wrote recently.
Of course, Romney could have run a stronger campaign and put away the competition earlier. And Santorum has a point when he portrays Romney as a candidate with unique weaknesses on the issue of Obamacare, which just happens to be hugely important to most Republicans.
At this point, the scenario of a two-month campaign remains unlikely, but it is not impossible. It’s probably the best Santorum can hope for, but for the rest of the GOP, it is a deeply worrisome prospect.

When you reach the boulder jump right to a good hold work around right to finish. I used approach shoes but man you'd be cheese grated if you fell on this puppy.

Testing ESL Children: What we can do now
Posted by Elizabeth D. Peña in child bilingualism, ESL, language impairment, narratives, speech sounds, vocabulary on June 2, 2009
One of the challenges in assessment of bilingual children is deciding whether or not they have language impairment. On one hand SLPs might decide to wait for children to learn more English before they assess them. On the other hand it’s important to identify children who have language impairment early so that we can intervene.
As of yet there are no standardized tests for bilingual children. There are some standardized tests for children who speak other languages. But, often these tests are inappropriate because they do not apply to children who speak two languages. There are some folks working on development of such tests for Spanish-English speakers (including me), these are few and don’t apply to all language pairs or all ages. At least not yet. So, what can we do NOW for the kids who are referred for assessment of language ability? What do we do to make decisions about language ability in the absence of standardized tests or even in the absence of personnel who speak the child’s language? Read the rest of this entry »

As a child, I was never very good at understanding idioms. I would always have a completely different interpretation than the rest of my friends, much to their amusement. I was convinced, for instance, that “one hand washes the other” means exactly that you have to use your clean hand to wash the dirtier one, and so, on average, one hand is always cleaner than the other.
I had a flashback of this literal interpretation when I read that the Turkish Garanti Bank is one of this year’s winners of EBRD’s Sustainability Awards, which will be presented tomorrow in Warsaw at the bank’s annual meeting. In the announcement, the EBRD recognised Garanti for “its leadership in addressing key sustainability issues within its activities”.
I found this quite surprising and imagined this must be Garanti’s somewhat clean hand, since my most recent memory of the bank’s name was in relation with the SOCAR Aegean Refinery and a “secret” 1350 MW coal power plant, which shows a mixture of business interests, coal development and neglect of local health concerns in Turkey, and where Garanti Bank is part of the consortium of lenders which would power the EUR 5 billion project. (Even more conflicting with sustainability principles is the fact that this gigantic oil project to which Garanti is considering financial support, is conflicting with a genuinely green one – a geothermal-solar hybrid 50 MW power plant – which was granted an operation licence one year prior to the one that SOCAR holds.)
But even if I accepted that this case might be an exception, a look at Garanti’s track record of financial support to the coal sector puts the bank’s dedication to “addressing key sustainability issues” seriously into question:
- Zetes 1 – on the Black sea coast – a 160 MW coal power plant which started operation in 2010, and was the first phase of a USD 1.6bn coal-fired project, financed largely by Turkish banks including Türkiye İş Bankası’ndan and Garanti Bank. It should be of great interest to a bank which is awarded a sustainability title that there is no ash landfill at the ZETES 1 and 2 plants, although this was a precondition in the Environmental Impact Assessment, and that local water contamination is present and easy to observe even to an untrained eye, due to leaking ash, water treatment plants in the existing mine area, coal transportation infrastructure and the storage of ash. (See Bankwatch’s study Black clouds looming (pdf).) Still, Garanti Bank together with IşBank are the main financiers for the development of the ZETES 2 and ZETES 3 coal plants, projects riddled with local opposition and legal battles over the EIA.
- In its Stock report (pdf), Garanti proudly presents its contribution to fossil energy production in Turkey: “Garanti continued supporting the energy sector investments through its participation as mandated lead arranger in the financing of a 600 MW import coal thermal power plant investment and a 270 MW indigenous coal thermal power plant investment.”
The EBRD has committed to support sustainable energy and investments to strengthen the competitiveness of the Turkish economy through support for Turkish financial institutions. One of the key partners in this endeavour is Garanti Bank. Yet, while the EBRD has reviewed its energy policy and will scrap most assistance for coal-fired power plants, the flagship Turkish bank is among the main actors in the development of future coal power generation in the country.
Unfortunately I am not able to attend the award ceremony tomorrow. I would be curious to hear the acceptance speech that Garanti Bank’s representative will give. The last statement I read from the Project Financing Manager of Garanti Bank was that
“[…] coal prices decreased while natural gas prices increased. […] for the time being we estimate that coal-fired power plants will be ahead of the natural gas plants in merit order in the future. […] in general the focus will be on the coal”.
Will the bank dirty the EBRD’s sustainability awards with such statements tomorrow or announce a U-turn towards renewables energy efficiency? Now that would be a bold coming out.

EXCLUSIVE: Couple to rehab Greater Cincinnati firehouse into new brewery
Send this to a friend
A former fireman wants to convert an old Greater Cincinnati firehouse into a brewery celebrating the building’s history.
“I’m a craft beer drinker, and about two years ago we were in Asheville, N.C., which actually has more microbreweries per capita than anywhere else. She (Lori) told me I like it so much, it looks like fun, I ought to think about it,” Adam Cowan told me. “So I spent a year or more doing research on brewing and the brewing industry, everything from water to yeast to brewing technology, and I was hooked.”
Cowan, a former firefighter, wants the bar to maintain its firehouse feel and retain a firefighting theme.
“It’s almost going to be museum-like. We’re going to have newspaper clippings from the years about police and fire. Everything’s going to be trimmed in red,” Cowan said. “We’re going to have dozens of fire extinguishers. There’s going to be a little bit of fire museum with the brewery.”
The bar will also have cornhole, and Cowan said he intends to hold fundraisers along with local police and fire departments to help raise money for charity.
Old Firehouse Brewery is scheduled to open this summer with five beers on tap: an American ale, an Indian ale, a Scottish red, a porter and either a Kolsch or a pilsner, Cowan said. He wants to open with those five on the Fourth of July and expand to 20 taps by Christmas of next year.
He and Lori are self-funding the development and opening of the brewery.
“Initially, I looked for investors. Nobody could see the vision,” he said. “So my wife and I, we scraped up every penny and we’ve borrowed, let me put it this way, my great, great grandchildren are in debt right now, and I don’t have grandchildren yet. Ballpark, we’re going to have somewhere around $650,000 invested in it.”
Cowan said it was important to be located in Williamsburg because he wanted to infuse some growth into his community. He plans to distribute his beer to bars and restaurants in Cincinnati as well. But he said one of his goals is to create a good place for people to congregate in Williamsburg.
“There’s not going to be loud music,” he said. “It’s going to be a nice, laid-back place to get the freshest beer you can get.”

The Athlit Ram
Permanently on View
One of the most important and rare discoveries of underwater archaeology in Israel is that of the Athlit ram. It was discovered by the late Yehoshua Ramon in 1980, in the northern bay of Athlit, and was retrieved from the sea by the staff and students of the Maritime Civilizations Department at the Centre for Marine Studies at Haifa University.
A ram is a weapon that was attached to the prow of a vessel at or below the water-line, and was intended to ram enemy vessels, inflicting damage that would prevent their further use, or even sink them.
The Athlit ram is one of the largest single bronze castings ever found. The bronze is of high quality, weighing 465 kg. Together with the wooden sections, when the ram was retrieved from the sea it weighed 600 kg. It was intended for tactical use, and was cast as a single unit. The first metallurgical analysis suggested that it was sand-cast in a hinged mould. A more recent opinion is that is was cast by the lost-wax process, in which a wax model is constructed and encased in clay. Molten bronze is then poured into the clay through specially constructed channels, melting the wax, which runs out through "risers" in the clay, and is replaced by the bronze.
The four symbols on the ram are integral to the casting. They are: Poseidon's trident, a helmet surmounted with a star - the sign of the Dioscuri, an eagle's head, and a caduceus - the wand of Hermes. They symbolize the deities who safeguard ships and protect seamen, and are also those of the ruling powers. They appear on coins minted in Cyprus between 204 and 164 BCE, allowing us to estimate that the ram was made in one of the Cypriot ports, and was intended for a vessel in the fleet of Ptolemy V Epiphanes, or of his successor Ptolemy VI Philometor. The carbon-14 test performed at the Weizmann Institute on sections of the ship's prow still adhering to the ram dated them to 400±130 BCE.
Examples of rams of varying sizes can be found at the Actium Monument commissioned by Octavian to commemorate his victory over Anthony and Cleopatra in the naval engagement at Actium (32-31 BCE). The supporting wall of the monument is lined with sockets for the rams of vessels captured in that battle. The Athlit ram is smaller, and was almost certainly attached to a Hellenistic vessel of medium size - a quadrireme, or a trireme with only three tiers of oars - an important vessel throughout the age of antiquity.
The three-pronged ram represents the last stage of ramming warfare in antiquity. This kind of attack seems to have originated in the use of the "nose" of the prow at the water-line. As of the 1st millennium BCE, there are representations of ships with single rams. In the 6th century BCE blunt rams were cast in the shape of a beast's head, and by the end of the 5th century BCE 3-pronged rams were being cast, effective for crushing the side of an enemy vessel and reducing the risk of the ship itself becoming embedded. Even after the advent of the 3-pronged ram, the single point and the blunt ram were still employed. As of the early 3rd century BCE, only the 3-pronged ram is seen, and in the 300 years that followed it was used in the great naval battles in the Mediterranean. There was a return to the blunt ram circa 100 CE. During the Byzantine era, with the use of more sophisticated weapons the ram disappeared, and the most recent evidence of ramming warfare is dated to the 6th century CE.

New MPI Report Details Growing Obstacles to U.S. Citizenship & Examines Potential for Further Disruption due to COVID-19 Slowdown, USCIS Budget Turmoil & Fee Increases
WASHINGTON — The 9 million immigrants who are eligible for U.S. citizenship face growing obstacles to naturalization as the result of changed U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) adjudications standards and a recasting of the agency’s mission to prioritize fraud detection over customer service, a Migration Policy Institute (MPI) analysis of a survey of 110 naturalization assistance providers across the United States finds.
While USCIS continues to approve the vast majority of naturalization applications it receives, the agency took nearly twice as long to process the average case in fiscal 2019 than was the case three years earlier, with case backlogs increasing as applications have been kicked back more frequently with requests for more information and English and civics tests have been administered more strictly. This increased vetting of applications was happening before a trio of new developments could significantly reduce citizenship acquisition for qualified immigrants in the months and years ahead:
- COVID-19-related delays that shut down USCIS in-person interviews for three months, delaying the citizenship oath-taking for more than 100,000 would-be Americans,
- the imminent furlough of two-thirds of the agency’s staff in early August unless Congress provides emergency funding to address a $1.2 billion budget shortfall, and
- a citizenship fee increase from $640 to up to $1,170 that is scheduled to go into effect in September, alongside a restriction in eligibility for fee waivers for low-income applicants.
“The seeds of the current budget crisis were sown before the pandemic when USCIS put more intensive vetting and fraud detection in place, along with other policies that have reduced application levels,” said Randy Capps, who is director for research for U.S. programs at MPI. “Now the pandemic and anticipated furlough threaten to further slow application processing at the same time that the fee is set to increase substantially, creating much higher hurdles and potentially deterring people from applying for citizenship.”
In its latest report, MPI examines the effects of changing USCIS standards and procedures during the Trump administration, drawing from a survey of 110 naturalization assistance providers in 34 metro areas administered by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) between March – September 2019. These groups are among more than 200 providers in the ILRC’s New Americans Campaign, which has assisted more than 470,000 people in completing their citizenship applications.
The report, A Rockier Road to U.S. Citizenship? Findings of a Survey on Changing Naturalization Procedures, finds:
- About one-quarter of survey respondents reported their clients missed interviews when USCIS sent notices to incorrect addresses, sent them too late or sent them to the attorney, not the applicant.
- More than one-third reported USCIS more often issued requests for evidence (RFEs) to support applications, especially for documents related to tax compliance and income, continuous residency and physical presence, marriage and child support, and criminal history, with one-quarter reporting substantially more documents being required.
- USCIS officers asked detailed questions not directly related to citizenship eligibility, and administered the English and civics tests differently, often more strictly, according to 10 percent of respondents.
Most of these changes were common among the 52 USCIS offices across the country covered by the survey, suggesting these shifts in adjudication practice likely represent changes in USCIS policy or broad-based agency culture, rather than being limited to individual office or adjudicator practices.
The report underscores the importance of oversight of naturalization procedures to ensure that the country reserves citizenship for those who fully meet its requirements and preserves the lawful claims of legal permanent residents to the full civic and political rights that citizenship brings. Yet even as USCIS has shifted its mission to increased vetting and fraud detection, studies have shown little to no evidence of naturalization fraud.
“USCIS’ stricter adjudicating processes have accomplished nothing aside from increasing the time and costs associated with completing the naturalization process,” said Eric Cohen, executive director of the ILRC. “Increased obstacles to citizenship prevent qualified U.S. residents from voting, running for public office, traveling without visas to many other countries, sponsoring family for immigration and many other benefits. They have no demonstrated impact on fraud prevention, which is nearly non-existent to begin with.”

Who has benefited most from the government bail outs of the economy since 2008? I think that question is easily answered by the FT this morning, which says:
US dealmaking hit an all-time monthly record in May, surpassing the previous highs seen during the peak of the dotcom bubble and the zenith of the debt boom that led to the 2008 financial crisis.
The overall value of deals in US-bound mergers and acquisitions activity amounted to $243bn in May compared to $226bn during the same month in 2007 and $213bn in January 2000, the previous biggest and second biggest months respectively, according to Dealogic data.
That's US quantitative easing money designed to assist the financial sector delivering this rash of activity that will be keeping Wall St, its advisers and the US 1% in profits.
That this type of quantitative easing has also failed is obvious if this is the case.
And yet there is no doubt quantitative easing is still needed: the economy in which most people live and work is not booming, whatever is happening in finance. This is why green infrastructure quantitative easing is so important.

What a difference a year makes! At last year’s AHR Expo, I lamented the fact that most of the educational sessions concerning refrigerants were rather general in nature and focused more on the past rather than the future. This year, it was completely different, with numerous manufacturers and industry organizations getting specific about the next generation of low-GWP refrigerants.
Daikin and Arkema, for example, were both eager to talk about R-32, which is their choice to replace R-410A in many space cooling products. At a press conference at the Expo, Philip Johnston, general manager at Daikin Applied, explained that because it is a pure single component, Daikin believes that R-32 is the most balanced and ideal refrigerant to replace R-410A for certain residential, light commercial, and applied air conditioning applications.
“R-32 is not a new refrigerant, and it is a trusted commodity in the industry,” he said. “In addition, there are no patents on the molecule or on the production process to make it, which helps make it more affordable. For those in the field, R-32 is simple, stable, and inexpensive to install and maintain, because it is a single component refrigerant. That matters, because it can be topped up and recharged in the field in both the liquid and gas phases without changes in the composition in that blend or mixture. It can easily be cleaned and reused right on site, and R-32 can be reclaimed and recycled off site with a simpler cleaning process than blends.”
Johnston added that because of its thermodynamic characteristics, an R-32 system will have 40 percent less charge than a system using R-410A, while offering 10 percent more capacity than R-410A and up to 8 percent more energy efficiency than R-410A.
Chemours, on the other hand, was interested in talking about Opteon™ XL41 (R-454B), which is its low-GWP alternative to R-410A. At the booth, Diego Boeri, vice president of fluorochemicals at Chemours stated that R-454B, with a GWP of 466, is the ideal replacement for R-410A for a number of reasons.
“In Europe, the average GWP phasedown is about 80 percent from the current 2,500 GWP baseline, so you must be below 500 GWP on average in your portfolio,” he said. “In the U.S., there is not yet a phasedown, but it is coming. So, do you want to use something that will not take you until the end?”
In addition, R-454B is very design compatible with R-410A, so it’s a less significant conversion for most OEMs, said Boeri. For example, it is miscible and compatible with existing POE lubricants, and its pressures and overall operating envelope are more compatible with existing R-410A units. R-454B also offers comparable capacity with improved energy efficiency (up to 5 percent, depending on system design and conditions), and its discharge temperatures are a closer match to R-410A.
“In this period of uncertainty, having a solution that can be used in an existing air conditioning factory line brings value,” he said. “Our solution, R-454B, has been chosen, because it provides a solid foundation both financially and environmentally, making it the optimal choice.”
Replacements for R-134a were also front and center, with Chemours highlighting Opteon™ XP10 (R-513A), a low-GWP, nonflammable, A1 refrigerant, which offers a cooling capacity and energy efficiency match for R-134a. R-513A is designed for use in chillers and commercial refrigeration applications and can be used in new or retrofitted systems.
Arkema’s new replacement refrigerant for R-134a -- R-516A -- is a near drop-in and long-term solution with an ultra-low GWP of <150 that is designed for use in heat pumps, chillers, and commercial refrigeration. It is a close match to R-134a in terms of capacity and efficiency and has zero glide.
Honeywell announced the launch of Solstice N15 (R-515B), a new, A1, nonflammable and low-GWP refrigerant replacement for R-134a for use in chillers and heat pumps. The new refrigerant, with a GWP of 299, will be commercially available this year and because it is nonflammable, it can be used immediately by chiller and heat pump manufacturers.
As can be seen, there was a lot of exciting news about refrigerants at the Expo this year. Hopefully by next year’s Expo, there will be more clarity surrounding the use of A2L refrigerants, such as R-32 and R-454B. And maybe – just maybe – manufacturers will be able to let us know when their equipment will be available that utilizes these new low-GWP solutions.

Happy Weekend! Last week we talked about the Bronx, this week let’s talk about Brooklyn. The part of Brooklyn I am most often in is Williamsburg. With the weather on the rise, I feel that it is definitely worth the visit. My favorite part of Williamsburg is the Waterfront, which has a ton of seating and a dock. Here you can have lunch outside, go for a walk, or just catch some sun. Bedford Avenue is one of my favorite stops for food. They have any food you can imagine- from Mexican, to Japanese, to Thai, to even a simple deli sandwich. I have only explored a small portion of Brooklyn myself. The next stop on my list is Smorgasburg, which is also on the Williamsburg Waterfront. Smorgasburg is a market with different food stands from a variety of restaurants etc. Some of the vendors are very well-known around the city, such as Ramen Burger, Home Frite, and Big Mozz. I cannot wait to visit now that it feels like the cold is finally gone for good! What are you favorite parts of Brooklyn? Any recommendations?
Need to get back into Manhattan? Skip the subway! On nice days, I opt. for the East River Ferry. The ferry takes you right from Williamsburg to East Midtown. You can get to Bedford Avenue via subway by taking a train that transfers to the L train. I usually take the ACE downtown from Penn Station and transfer to the L train. From there, it takes me right to Bedford Avenue!
Where’s the next place you want to explore? Until next week…
One thing I am most appreciative about during my experience attending FIT is the new places I have been exposed to. Being from Long Island, I’ve been to Manhattan plenty of times before college. However, FIT has introduced me to so many new places that I never thought I would visit, let alone that were located right in New York City.
Recently, I have visited a few new places because of the honors course I am taking this semester: HA 394-History of New York Architecture. Along with learning about the history of New York’s development, the professor takes the class out on walking tours around the city to see some of the historical sites that we have learned about. One place we visited was the Alexander Hamilton Custom House, which houses the National Museum of the American Indian. Ironically, I had previously visited this building because of the honors course I took last semester: HA 395-Studies In American Indian Art and Culture. This museum is located right at Bowling Green and is free admission to the public. While my New York Architecture class taught me about the history of the building, the American Indian Art class taught me about the different artifacts and works located in the museum.
Another place I was introduced to from my NY Architecture course is the Morgan Library & Museum. This museum is located right in midtown on 36th and Madison. Inside is the study and library of J.P. Morgan; the library has three story shelving that looks like something right out of a Disney movie! Inside there are some exhibitions, including letters to and from Alexander Hamilton and part of Morgan’s collection. Without this class I would have never stepped outside of my “Big Apple” comfort zone and explored new places I never knew existed!
What are some places you have been to off your “beaten path?”
Until next time,

Why Children Should See Chiropractors?
Most of us know that chiropractors can help with back pain, but did you know they can also help children? Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to help with a variety of issues in children, such as bedwetting, asthma, and colic. If you have a child who is struggling, consider taking them to see a chiropractor. You may be surprised by the results!
When To Start Chiropractic Care
Many parents who have benefited from chiropractic care are eager to pass the benefits on to their children. These parents would like to know the best time to start taking their kids to the chiropractor. The simple answer is you can take your child to a chiropractor when he is a few months old. Most chiropractors see children who are below 18 years, and some see babies below two years old. Infants and young children can benefit from chiropractic care. Chiropractic care for infants can help with conditions such as colic, ear infections, sleep problems, breastfeeding difficulties, and torticollis (a condition where the baby's head tilts to one side because of limited mobility in the neck). Children of all ages can benefit from chiropractic care for conditions such as bed wetting, growing pains, headaches, and asthma. Chiropractic care is safe for children of all ages and has been shown to be an effective treatment for many childhood conditions. If you are considering taking your child to a chiropractor, it is best to check with your child's pediatrician first.
Chiropractors can help children with a variety of health problems
Chiropractic care is a natural, drug-free approach to healthcare that has been shown to be effective in treating a wide variety of conditions, both in adults and children. Among other things, chiropractic care has been shown to be helpful in treating ear infections, asthma, and allergies in children. Ear infections are a common childhood ailment, and they are often treated with antibiotics. However, antibiotics can have side effects, and they do not always work. Chiropractic care, on the other hand, is a safe and effective alternative to antibiotics, and it can help to clear up ear infections without the use of drugs. In addition, chiropractic adjustments have been shown to be helpful in reducing the severity of asthma attacks and improving breathing in asthmatic children. Finally, chiropractic care can help to reduce the severity of allergies by improving the function of the immune system. If you are looking for a natural way to improve your child's health, consider making an appointment with a chiropractor today.
Chiropractic care is gentle and safe for children of all ages
Children are constantly growing and developing, and chiropractic care can help them to do so in a healthy way. Unlike many medical treatments, chiropractic care is gentle and safe for children of all ages. And, because it helps to improve nerve function, it can also provide a range of other benefits, such as improved immunity, better digestion, and improved sleep. In addition, regular chiropractic care can help to prevent injuries in active children by keeping their bones and joints in alignment. As a result, chiropractic care is an excellent way to support the health and well-being of growing children.
Chiropractors can help improve your child's posture and overall well-being
As any parent knows, children are constantly growing and changing. Along with these physical changes, their posture also starts to shift and change. While some of these changes are natural and healthy, others can lead to long-term problems. For example, rounded shoulders and a forward-leaning head are becoming increasingly common posture problems in children. These poor posture habits can lead to muscle aches, headaches, and even chronic pain later in life. Fortunately, chiropractors can help improve your child's posture and overall well-being. By gently adjusting the spine and correcting alignment, chiropractors can help straighten the spine and improve the body's overall balance. In addition, regular chiropractic care can help relieve tension headaches, promote better sleep, and boost the immune system. As a result, chiropractors can play an important role in your child's overall health and well-being.
Visiting a chiropractor can be a great way to promote wellness and prevent future health problems
A chiropractor is a health care professional who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to align the spine and relieve pain. Studies have shown that chiropractic care is an effective treatment for low back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other musculoskeletal conditions. In addition, chiropractic care has been shown to improve overall health and well-being. Numerous studies have found that regular chiropractic adjustments can reduce blood pressure, improve immune function, and promote overall wellness. If you are looking for a natural way to promote wellness and prevent future health problems, visiting a chiropractor may be the perfect solution for you.

Magellan’s voyage in search of the “Spice Islands” was marked by storms, sharks, and scurvy—plus multiple attempts at mutiny.
By Lorraine Boissoneault
From the start, it was hard to know whose side Ferdinand Magellan was on. Born in northern Portugal around 1480, Magellan, an orphaned son of lesser nobles, spent decades serving the Portuguese crown in its wars abroad, in India and Malaysia. One might think Magellan was the epitome of national devotion. But in 1518, after being rejected by the Portuguese authorities, Magellan turned to his country’s greatest rival: Spain. The Spanish court leapt at the opportunity to back Magellan’s ambitious venture—a voyage to find a westward trade route to the lucrative Spice Islands. For the Portuguese, a countryman aligning himself with public enemy number one was tantamount to treason.
The turn of the 16th century was an unsettled time. Sailors like Christopher Columbus were opening up vast new swathes of land that Europeans viewed as ripe for exploitation. To the west lay the Americas and the Caribbean islands, rich with natural resources (nevermind that they’d been inhabited for millennia). To the east, beyond India, were the Spice Islands, an archipelago in Indonesia called the Moluccas. It was here that traders found nutmeg, cloves, and mace.

Pentek’s “Polydepth” sediment filter cartridges are a line of polypropylene filters, offering (depending on specific model) up to 5μ sediment filtration. Their construction includes a rigid core which reinforces the filter, making it more durable than comparable filters. The specially-designed micro-fiber engineering allows the filter to combat fiber release, making the filters last longer and perform more consistently than other sediment filters. Because Polydepth cartridges are used almost exclusively for food and beverage applications, they will not impart taste, odor or color on water being filtered. In addition, the material is designed to withstand up to 175°F temperatures, making them ideal for hot beverage filtration. The 4 7/8” sediment filter cartridges are available in 24 packs. At Filter Pure Systems, Inc., we strive to provide our customers with the highest quality fluid filtration components at market-competitive prices. The Pentek Polydepth line is just one example of a product we know will surpass your expectations.


The Police Service Commission has shortlisted a total of 133, 324 applicants for recruitment as constables to fill 6,000 spaces in the Nigeria Police Force.
The exercise, which will commence on Monday, May 7 in the 36 State Police Command Headquarters and the Federal Capital Territory, will start with screening of the applicants’ physical attributes and their credentials.
The commission’s spokesperson, Ikechukwu Ani, in a statement, stated that “already invitations have been sent to the applicants who are expected to report at the screening venues on days indicated in their invitations.
“A total of 133, 324 applicants are expected to be screened during the exercise. Kaduna State has the highest number of applicants with a total of 6,962, while Lagos has the least with a total of 1,013. Katsina, with a total of 6,676, has the second highest number of applicants followed by Benue and Niger with 6,474 and 6,409 respectively.”
The statement added that Bayelsa has the second least number with 1,097 applicants followed by Anambra with 1,117 and Ebonyi with 1,303.
The Police Service Commission has deployed its staff to the 36 states of the federation and the FCT for the exercise, with chairman of the Commission, Sir Dr. Mike Okiro, as the national coordinator.
Ani noted that while addressing the staff yesterday in Abuja, the secretary to the commission, Mr Musa Istifanus, warned that the commission would sanction any staff who tries to compromise this national assignment.
“All staff must resist all forms of undue influence as their activities would be closely monitored,” Istafanus warned.
He also warned the applicants to conduct themselves properly, adding that those unconnected with the exercise should not be found within the vicinity of the screening.
…10,000 applicants jostle for 600 NDA slots – Commandant
More than 10,000 candidates have applied for the 600 available admission spaces at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna, according to the institution’s commandant, Maj.-Gen. Adeniyi Oyebade.
Oyebade disclosed this yesterday when members of the Kaduna State Council of the National Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) paid him a courtesy visit.
He said that due to the limited admission slots, the management of the academy had always tried to ensure that only the best candidates were admitted.
The commandant said the institution would not deliberately refuse to give admission to any qualified candidate who had passed the entrance examination.
He reiterated the commitment of the academy to continue to partner with the media, especially members of the association, in peace building.
The chairperson of the council, Mrs Juliet Oyoyo, had earlier remarked that many youths interested in seeking admission into the NDA were denied the opportunity.
Oyoyo appealed to the commandant to look into the matter with a view to giving youths who applied for admission into the academy the opportunity to contribute their quota to the development of the country.

The Dust Curtain is recommended to be installed at the exit of the conveyor load zone. The Dust Curtain provides effective sealing to prevent the escape of airborne fines. Mounted in the skirtboard cover, the dust curtains help create a plenum for dust suppression and dust collection by creating a buffer zone to slow air movement.
Recommended installation is one dust curtain without slits closest to the loading zone, followed by one dust curtain with slits at the exit of skirtboard. Additional dust curtains may be installed to reduce air movement and isolate dust suppression or dust collection systems for additional dust control.

Academic Freedom Revisited
Doughty, Howard A.
College Quarterly, v13 n1 Win 2010
One of the author's enduring concerns about the concept of academic freedom is with semantics. It has seemed to him that one of the biggest difficulties with discussions of academic freedom (as with many conversations about "value-laden" terms such as "democracy," "equity," and "justice") is that people begin from different positions and with different definitions in mind. When terms are defined differently by various parties to a discussion, it is hard to resolve disputes. Moreover, when circumstances change, already precarious definitions may have to be modified to adapt to new environments. Depending on what people mean by their words and how their words are to be used in new situations, substantially different policy implications may follow. As the title of this article implies, the author believes that people are now facing new circumstances. The changing circumstances he has in mind relate to the socially constructed rationale for institutions of higher education, alterations in patterns of finance, and a new view of how colleges and universities are expected to demonstrate accountability in the emerging postindustrial society. In the recent past, each of these has been infused with what is best described as the "market mentality," the belief that institutions do best when they are subjected to a pat on the back or a slap in the face from the "invisible hand" of consumer choice. It is this author's feeling that this market mentality may be in for a spanking of its own. In this article, he revisits the subject of academic freedom. The focus of the changes discussed in this article is postsecondary schools, and the locus of debate concerns both colleges and universities. The changes are complicated and made even more controversial by the emergence of serious debates within and among "two-year" colleges and "four-year" universities, as well as the host of hybrids now struggling for recognition and success.

Import large dataset to Postgres instance in CF
Siva Balan <mailsiva@...>
Below is my requirement:
I have a postgres instance deployed on our corporate CF deployment. I have
created a service instance of this postgres and bound my app to it. Now I
need to import a very large dataset(millions of records) into this postgres
As a CF user, I do not have access to any ports on CF other than 80 and
443. So I am not be able to use any of the native postgresql tools to
import the data. I can view and run simple SQL commands on this postgres
instance using the phppgadmin app that is also bound to my postgres service
Now, what is the best way for me to import this large dataset to my
postgres service instance?
All thoughts and suggestions welcome.


There are several sorts of air ducts and duct systems available. The materials used for ductwork can consist of Fiberglass or Sheet Metal One more sort of material that is used is Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP).
Stainless-steel sheet steel is one of the ideal sorts of sheet steel for duct manufacture. Stainless-steel gives remarkable deterioration resistance and also strength, making it a prominent selection in industrial, commercial, and also research laboratory settings. Stainless-steel sheet steel duct fabrication requires accuracy devices as well as specialized craftsmen. For these factors, stainless steel duct are a lot more expensive than other kinds of sheet steel. These pros make them a leading selection for brand-new construction.
Hero FabriDuct is an antimicrobial, light, hygienic, as well as durable material duct system. It displaces air with direct aired vent slots, is easy to install and also keep, and also is peaceful. This fabric duct system can be utilized in locations such as the cooking area, swimming pool, and also auto manufacturing facility. Its air permeability is 1.5 to 2 cfm/sq. ft., making it a green choice to spiral ductwork.
In the manufacturing of multilayer laminate for duct, there are several sorts of components that can be bonded to one another, depending upon the application. Several of these components consist of thermoformed layers as well as metallized ones. Depending on the function, glue layers can be used to bond these 2 layers together. Another kind of attachment is border bonding. A thermoformed layer has a protective finishing on its surface area, as well as can be utilized to stick a multilayer laminate.
Fiber enhanced polymer
A fibre enhanced polymer duct has advantages over conventional plastic ducting materials. This kind of material is lightweight and also resilient. Fibre enhanced plastics are perfect for precision design, simplification of components, as well as weight cost savings. Compared to typical steel and aluminium ducting, a fiber reinforced polymer duct can be generated at lower prices and also faster, without sacrificing material toughness or tolerances. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV’s design used 95 percent much less material than the previous generation. Furthermore, molded polymer artefacts have much better material stamina and toughness.
Various other water resistant covering
If you’re looking for a high-grade waterproofing material for your duct, you must think about Dolphin air duct COVER. This solitary element supplies durability as well as security versus air and also water leak. It appropriates for use on indoor thermal insulation systems, in addition to cooling air ducts.

#TL:DR- No, Warren Buffet still not interested in Rat Poison.
There was rumours that Buffet finally ready to taste rat poison aka Crypto. But this is not true.
Warren Buffet did bought shares of a Brazilian Digital Bank, Nubank.
Although Nubank doesn’t allow trading in Crypto, it’s investment unit, Nulnvest allow users to invest in Crypto Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
People just fell for this news, which isn’t even close to true and adding something like Buffet reduced his position in MasterCard and Visa, to make it more meaningful.
But in reality there is no way Warren Buffet going to invest in Crypto, if you doubt it you should read what one of Waffet’s Business associate Charlie Munger said about Crypto,”Young generation wants to get rich quick without adding any value to the society by investing in Crypto”

(TibetanReview.net, Nov23, 2017) – Sino-Vatican ties appear to have taken a nosedive, given previous reports that the two sides were about to reach a deal on appointment of Bishops in China and pursuant diplomatic recognition of each other at the expense of Taiwan, with the Holy See seen as giving almost all the concessions. Now, the Communist Party of China, the country’s sole ruling power, has warned its state-controlled tourism industry not to send any tour groups to the Vatican, reported the Cantonese Service of Radio Free Asia (Washington) Nov 21.
The report cited an employee at the Phoenix Holidays International Travel Agency as saying travel agencies had been sent a directive dated Nov 16 ordering them to delete or cancel the Vatican and St. Peter’s Basilica from their list of destinations.
“Any travel agency found to be advertising these destinations in their promotional literature or other products will be fined up to 300,000 yuan,” the directive was quoted as saying.
Employees at other travel agencies have also confirmed receiving the directive.
The report cited an official at the Guangdong provincial branch of the State Tourism Bureau as saying the directive had been issued at the highest level of government in Beijing. “This is a diplomatic issue, so only the ministry of foreign affairs or the State Tourism Bureau would have the authority to [to decide this],” he was quoted as saying. “We don’t necessarily know about their political attitude.”
“They have played a similar game with South Korea, Sweden and Japan in the past,” a highly placed source surnamed Ye at a Chinese travel agency was quoted as saying. “A lot of travel agencies and duty free stores went out of business altogether after the boycott of South Korea … but when their government complained to China, the Chinese government denied ordering the ban.”
A second industry source surnamed Chen was reported to have confirmed that many companies suffer losses as a result of complying with such boycott orders.
The report said relations between Beijing and the Vatican had come under repeated strain under the administration of President Xi Jinping, as China moved to ordain more and more of its own bishops without Vatican approval to meet the needs of a growing Catholic population. It added that the Vatican typically responds by excommunicating bishops who accept Beijing’s consecration ceremonies, saying that only the Pope could appoint bishops.
The report noted that China’s officially sanctioned Catholic Church had between five and six million members, while an underground church loyal to the Vatican had an estimated 10 million followers.
The Vatican is the only European state with which Taiwan—as the seat of the 1911 Republic of China founded by Sun Yat-sen—still has full diplomatic relations, the report noted.
