Three Catholic churches in Texas have been vandalized by pro-choice activists following the news that Roe v. Wade could be overturned.
Graffiti saying “Pro-Choice is Pro-Life” was discovered on the main entrance of a church Monday morning.
it was found by a church member when they arrived for an 8 a.m. meeting, reported Fox News.
Father Peter Damian Harris, pastor at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Houston, said “It’s very unfortunate that people would desecrate the church like this, take their frustration out on the church”.
The church has decided to change their hours so they open 30 minutes before confession and Mass. It will then close and re-open at 4 p.m. for confession and Mass at 5:15 p.m.
“I’d rather take the necessary precautions, then run the risk of someone coming to desecrate our sacred space,” Harris told Fox 26.
Two other churches in the town of Katy, Texas, were also vandalized. At St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, someone attempted to desecrate the Eucharist.
At St. Bartholomew the Apostle Catholic Church, individuals tried to remove the tabernacle, which contains the sacred presence of Christ and the Eucharist, according to Harris.
“This won’t stop us,” Harris said. “It propels us to continue to be witnesses for Christ and the world”.
Other churches around the country have been facing harassment and vandalism from pro-choice activists, including some in Colorado and New York.

In his first address to a joint session of Congress, President Joe Biden laid out an ambitious agenda, which included additional calls for gun control.
Biden, as with many lawmakers, likely believes that most Americans would support such a move. However, Americans are actually as divided on the issue of gun control as anything else in the country.
According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll, about half of Americans see prioritizing new gun violence laws as a priority, while forty-three percent said they’d prefer to focus on protecting the right to own guns. That has narrowed from a twenty-three-point margin – fifty-seven to thirty-four percent – after the April 2018 shooting at a school in Parkland, Florida, which killed seventeen.
It was actually Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty-nine that saw the sharpest decline in support for new weapons laws, and now fewer than half even said that new legislation is needed to reduce the risk of a future mass shooting or to block a “red flag.” When the poll was last taken, sixty-five percent of young Americans said they’d support gun control and that number has fallen to just forty-five percent.
The drops were across all demographics. Twenty percent of Hispanics have pulled away from supporting new gun control efforts, with just fifty percent seeing the need; while seventeen percent of rural Americans also said they see no need for new gun control measures – down seventeen points to just thirty percent.
The sudden change isn’t entirely surprising.
Last year saw a surge in new “first-time” buyers and that included many women and minorities, while younger people have been increasingly exercising their Second Amendment rights. The pandemic and civil unrest over the past year have been the leading motivators spurring record sales last year.
However, some Biden supporters are now saying he isn’t going far enough with gun control. Forty-seven percent of Democrats in the poll said the president hasn’t done enough to promote new gun control legislation; while conversely, about six in ten Republicans said they think Biden has put too much emphasis on gun control. Among those who identify as “strong conservative,” only eleven percent would like to see more gun control, down from seventeen percent three years ago.
Independents seem to be the most split between protecting Second Amendment rights and calling for new legislation – at about forty-eight and forty-three percent. Only about one-third of Americans think that Biden is doing just the right amount on the issue of firearms legislation.
The ABC/Washington Post poll was conducted from April 18 to 21, 2021 and was produced by Langer Research Associates of New York, N.Y., while sampling and data collection by Abt Associates of Rockville, Maryland.

Every trip to Prague is very close to our hearts, as it is also a trip right back into our past to the beginning of our time together.
A picture of a love memorie
While I was studying in Prague, I met Daria, who was also studying in the capital city of the Czech Republic and it’s where we fell in love. The view in the picture is the view from the building where we got married last November. It is usually very windy high up in this tower, which is why it was quite tricky to keep my camera steady. Due to the people around us, there wasn’t enough room to use a tripod, so I had to use my Gorillapod to mount the camera directly onto the railing.
The picture, which was taken during this adventurous camera placement, shows the Old Town Square while it is shining bright in the light of the night. The eye catcher in this picture is, without doubt, the Church of Our Lady before Tyn, which is with its two towers one of the most famous buildings in the golden city of Prague. The construction of this monumental gothic basilica started in the 14th century, but was not completed until the beginning of the 16th century. This church together with the entire Old City of Prague is included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites since 1992 and is always worth a visit.

The most famous fighter plane of all time, the Spitfire is faithfully scaled down in this Airfix kit. Of the many variations of Spitfires produced, we have chosen the Mk. IX which was introduced in 1942. The Mk. IX was powered by a 1,600 h.p. Rolls Royce Merlin 61 engine and had a maximum speed of 410 miles per hour. It was this machine that gave the R.A.F. superiority over the German Focke-Wulf 190's and the Messerschmitts. - Taken from the 1st edition catalogue (1962)

In a new landmark study, researchers reveal the optimal vitamin D levels for cancer prevention and survival.To the post!
This week’s interview features Beta Glucan expert AJ Lanigan. Beta Glucan is a natural polysaccharide found in many foods like barley, oats, mushrooms and yeast, and is the most studied immunomodulator on earth with over 140,000 published studies on PubMed and 100 current trials on ClinicalTrials.gov. In layman’s terms, Beta Glucan activates and enhances your immune systems response to invaders like bacteria, viruses and cancerous cells, which is a good thing.
AJ has an extensive background in pharmaceutical and immunology, as well as drug and supplement research. Some of you will recognize him from the Truth About Cancer series. AJ is quite the character. He has a unique way of taking complex scientific concepts, like the inner workings of your immune system, and making them easy to understand. And he does it all with a sweet South Carolina twang.

There’s a new study comparing the effectiveness of curcumin to chemo drug 5-FU, on colorectal cancer cells. The researchers found that one specific type of high-absorption curcumin was able to reduce the spread of cancer cells and potentially increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced colon cancer. They also discovered something disturbing about 5-FU.To the post! →
A major ally in my quest to heal cancer naturally was Clinical Nutritionist / Master Herbalist John Smothers at Integrative Wellness & Research Center in Memphis, TN.
He was the first person to tell me I was doing the right thing by rejecting chemo and radically changing my diet and lifestyle. Words cannot explain how exciting that was for me…
Along with a strict anti-cancer diet he recommended a lot of different supplements to support healing in my body.
As you can imagine, the question about supplements comes up a lot.
“What did you you take, what brands, how much, how often?”
I’ve been hesitant to get into those details because some of the supplements I took were specific to my body’s needs and may not be beneficial for every person with cancer.
So recently I sat down with John and asked him to put together an updated cancer supplement protocol that I could share with you.
These are the fundamental supplements that he recommends for all his clients with cancer (including me), along with strict diet modification.To the post! →

He’s an expert on the specific nutrients within food that strengthen your immune system, help your body fight cancer, and minimize the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.
The fact that Blaylock is an M.D. lends a lot of credibility to his research and message.

Mapping the Vulnerability of Mountain Peoples to Food Insecurity
This report (PDF) from the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) presents an updated geographic and demographic picture of the world’s mountain areas and assesses the vulnerability to food insecurity of mountain dwellers in developing countries. The report is a follow-up on the 2003 report (PDF). Both reports singel out mountain people, since they experience harsh climates; live on difficult, often inaccessible terrain; and are often political and social marginalized. This makes them extremely vulnerable to food shortages. One in three mountain people in developing countries is facing hunger and malnutrition. The final section of the report presents an alternative and complementary approach to assessing hunger by analyzing household surveys. This approach includes other factors impacting food security, such as water quality, sanitation facilities and road networks, in addition to crop and livestock activities, to ensure a holistic approach. The authors apply this methodology in two pilot cases in Malawi and Ecuador. The results show that the living conditions of mountain dwellers have continued to deteriorate in the last decade. A 30% increase in the number of vulnerable mountain people between 2000-2012. The publication encourages policy-makers to include mountain development in their agendas as well as specific measures and investments that could break the cycle of poverty and hunger of mountain communities and slow out-migration from mountain areas.

The spectre of terrorism has returned to haunt Queen's University, Belfast, in spite of the precarious peace that still persists in the province.
Two weeks ago Sean Devlin was shot dead in front of a teenage girl by the organisation Direct Action Against Drugs (DAAD), a flag of convenience title used by the Provisional IRA.
But 31-year-old Mr Devlin had already been banned for life from the students union at Queen's on suspicion that he was selling drugs. DAAD said he had been killed because of his activities as a drug dealer.
He was the organisation's eighth victim and his death has potentially damaging implications for the university as well as heightening already sharp political and religious divisions on campus.
Paramilitaries take on the role of self-appointed police, tackling persistent car thieves and vandals, as a way of gaining credibility in the areas in which they are based.
Queen's student officials are loathe to believe their action may have helped pin-point Mr Devlin as being, in the terrorists' terms, a "legitimate target".
But the students union has confirmed that it had permanently barred him from the union in October 1995.
Mr Devlin was not a student or a member of staff of Queen's but had become a regular figure there. He had been repeatedly refused permission to attend the Shine, a rave held regularly in the union.
Student union permanent secretary John Cousins said the decision to ban Mr Devlin came after advice from Queen's security staff, who are trained by the RUC drugs squad.
"In October 1995, I had information from our security staff that Sean Devlin was involved in the sale of illegal drugs," he said. "As the permanent secretary of the student union and disciplinary officer I banned him.
"I had suspicions and information from our security staff. Sean Devlin had no connection with the university, either as staff or a student so he was barred.
Queen's student union is proud of its relatively drug-free reputation despite the increased availability of soft drugs.
Drug seizures soared in the months immediately after the IRA and Loyalist terrorist ceasefires, ecstasy seizures alone by six times in the past year. None of the hauls has been at student buildings in Queen's, University of Ulster or further education colleges.

“I feel like I’ve been very much stereotyped by shoppers, by trade individuals, on an everyday basis,” said William Grusel, one of the homeowners. One drawback with stereotyping is that there are so much of exceptions. The owners of the Prada Grusel hair salon in New York City are straight however individuals think they’re homosexual.
Fear of, contempt of, or discrimination towards homosexuals or homosexuality, usually based on unfavorable stereotypes of homosexuality. Young individuals interviewed by Human Rights Watch for this report used quite so much of terms to explain same-sex attraction and gender variance.
My Administration can also be working to advertise and defend LGBTQ+ human rights abroad. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights, which is why my Administration has reaffirmed America’s dedication to supporting these on the front strains of the equality and democracy movements around the world, typically at great danger.
How Many People Are Lgbtq?
“It’s that you simply’re obsessed with style, and that you tan lots and that you just colour your hair,” they said. “Not all homosexual males are superstylish. Not all straight males are unhealthy dressers,” he stated. To encourage thoughtful and respectful conversations, first and final names will appear with every submission to CBC/Radio-Canada’s on-line communities (except in kids and youth-oriented communities). This would not have to be a repeating pattern for the LGBTQ group, but it is rather a lot, to various levels, a popular story arc in the LGBTQ expertise. Being there for someone popping out shouldn’t be this tough.
Odds ratios (95 % confidence intervals) for poor psychological well being by sexual orientation identity for women and men. Adults figuring out as lesbian, homosexual, bisexual or ‘other’ are at elevated danger of poor mental health and low wellbeing compared to these figuring out as heterosexual.
He’s not an equal alternative bisexual in disguise trying to carry out hope for straightness, neither is he afraid to determine as bisexual because of societal stigma and prejudice. He just isn’t a disgruntled straight man bored with intercourse with ladies, neither is he necessarily sad or annoyed with the availability of heterosexual intercourse. He may retreat from a full identification with heterosexuality, however hardly ever does he gravitate toward bisexuality, and almost by no means does he transfer toward homosexuality of any type. Thus, he’s a more in-depth cousin to straight guys than to traditional bisexual guys. A 2011–2013 U.S. authorities poll found that among 18- to 24-year-old males, 6% marked their sexual points of interest as “mostly reverse sex.” That’s almost 1 million younger males. Yet when these males were pressured to choose between straight, bisexual or gay, about three-quarters marked straight because for them bisexual, even whether it is understood as “bisexual-leaning straight,” is simply too homosexual to accurately describe their id. Given such constraints, these young men had been left with no place to truthfully register their sexuality, thus forcing them to be lower than sincere.
Continue to publicly call on the Russian government to repeal the “gay propaganda” legislation. Bullying can take many varieties, together with stares, looks, whispers, threats and violence. If you’re being bullied because you’re homosexual, lesbian or bisexual, inform someone you belief. This could be a teacher, pal, your parents, or a helpline. Some folks don’t understand that being gay, lesbian or bisexual is normal.
Some blood centres in Spain and Italy have taken the method of asking about protected sex practices or monogamy, however these international locations have totally different blood methods than Canada’s. In these nations, physicians interview particular person donors and might be able to perform individual health assessments.
This response is strengthened by the wrong belief that homosexual cues never stimulate heterosexuals. One further complicating factor in all that is that some obsessive thinkers mistake emotions of anxiety for feelings of sexual arousal. The two are actually physiologically related in some methods.
Education and counselling about immunization should be included in preventive take care of these teens, with a proof that though there are male cancers brought on by HPV, it is not but clear whether or not immunization prevents them. Both female and male teens might have questions about reproductive choices, although few gay or lesbian teenagers plan to have children within the close to future. Gay, lesbian and bisexual youth have the identical variety of health care needs as heterosexual adolescents, together with persistent sickness, disabilities, sports activities accidents and even contraception. They come from all ethnic teams, social lessons and racial backgrounds. While it is very important consider the teen’s sexual orientation when offering care, additionally it is vital to do not forget that they may have health care wants that are not associated with their sexual orientation.

One, that this may be the primary of many occasions I must come out. (It isn’t such as you come out once, after which everybody knows.) Two, popping out is tense.
OCD, as we all know, is essentially about experiencing extreme and unrelenting doubt. It may cause you to doubt even probably the most basic items about your self – even your sexual orientation. A 1998 research printed in the Journal of Sex Research found that among a gaggle of 171 faculty college students, 84% reported the occurrence of sexual intrusive ideas (Byers, et al. 1998). In order to have doubts about one’s sexual identity, a sufferer need not ever have had a homo- or heterosexual experience, or any type of sexual expertise at all. I actually have observed this symptom in younger kids, adolescents, and adults as well.
The passage of Russia’s 2013 “gay propaganda” legislation coincided with a ratcheting up of homophobic rhetoric in state media and an increase in homophobic violence across the country. As Human Rights Watch documented in a December 2014 report, this included assaults by vigilante groups and individuals towards free gay porn LGBT folks, and an increase in assaults on LGBT rights activists. Anti-gay teams used the 2013 law to justify campaigns of harassment and intimidation of LGBT teachers and different school or faculty workers to get them fired from their jobs.
Rather, metropolis employees might want to use their pre-existing paid time off — an unused trip day, for example — to have fun the vacation, based on three metropolis officials and a union official briefed on the matter. I actually have a feeling that Alexa is aware of I’m gay; she simply doesn’t want to tell me that she is conscious of. After all, how sensible is a brilliant speaker if it listens to me play Melissa Etheridge in between baseball innings , and doesn’t make a remark that I’m probably additionally thinking about Indigo Girls vinyl? If they don’t know now, I’m keen to wager they’ll know soon. It’s hard to not consider some type of Orwellian or Bezosian future the place individuals are excited to seek out out you’re gay to be able to promote to you better. There is research that suggests gay men do choose sure professions, like fashion, inside design and hair coloring, and that lesbians usually tend to choose sports and the navy. Researchers say it’s because lesbians, on common, are attracted to more masculine occupations, and homosexual males are inclined to prefer extra feminine occupations.
What To Do: Love Your Child
It’s fully normal to have questions as a result of these areas are very complicated. Each person’s feelings and experiences with these matters are distinctive. It feels like you’re apprehensive about how your parents may react when you come out, since you come from a spiritual household. Many mother and father go through their very own process when their child comes out, and sadly some react less favorably than others. If you are feeling like popping out to your mother and father will put your security at risk – like when you worry they may kick you out, or start treating you very badly because of your identification – then that’s an important factor to remember.
However, many sexually active lesbian adolescents have had sexual activity with males (3,21–23). Gay youth are extra probably to start utilizing tobacco, alcohol and other substances at an earlier age .

Here we present 20 interesting facts about the unluckiest day of the Gregorian calendar that we overcame just yesterday. Was it so much unlucky, by the way?1. There is a cetegory of people who officially have a fear of Friday, 13th. Medically.
There is a special term to denote the phobia – paraskevidekatriaphobia (or friggatriskaidekaphobia). I’d sooner have a phobia to pronounce this term!

We’re headed southeast for lunch today with Metro Councilman Robin Engel as our guest. He’ll guide us to a few favorites in District 22, which is one nice stop off Bardstown Road before leaving the county.
Engel was born in Neenah, Wisconsin and has made his home in Louisville as well as an impression upon local government. He ran unopposed for a third consecutive term in office, and with the 2010 census results showing District 22 was the fastest growing area behind District 19 in Middletown, we can see why.
All Metro Council members include a biography on their MetroGov page. The background and track record for Robin Engel makes for good reading if you have a moment to visit.
Engel is married to Dena Akers, a teacher. They have four children ages 10 to 20 yrs. old, and are active members of St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Church in Fern Creek.
Thanks to legislative assistant Monica Hodge for helping organize his TGIF list. This is one tight ship that sails through Fern Creek! Take it away Councilman Engel:
“District 22 serves the Fern Creek area, along with portions of Highview, Jeffersontown and Buechel areas in South East Jefferson County and the City of Heritage Creek. We are many neighborhoods within one community. We have an obligation to work hard to bring good growth and create positive quality of life for our residents. As the Louisville Metro Council representative, I’m proud to serve the rural-like setting that District 22 offers. With an estimated population of approximately 39,000 and an area radius of 19.586 square miles, we’re a community on the move and the second fastest growing district in Jefferson County. We have a vibrant economic development through growing businesses and organizations, outstanding schools, churches, parks and community area outreach ministries.”
A few local independent dining favorites in 22 are:
9326 Cedar Center Way
Fern Creek, KY 40291
Favorite meal – shrimp & scallops with fried rice on the hibachi grill
9704 Bardstown Road
Fern Creeek, KY 40291
Favorite meal: pulled pork Bar-B-Q, with seasoned vegetables, mashed potatoes with gravy and baked beans.
5412 Bardstown Road
Fern Creek, KY 40291
Favorite meal – Stuffed white fish, stewed zucchini and onion rings
Step up to the plate with your Metro Council representative. Many of these men and women have a regularly scheduled meet and greets, coffee circles or neighborhood brainstorming and activities. Break some bread, make some plans. Thanks for supporting local merchants, chefs, farmers, groceries!
Have a great weekend!

In an astonishing twist of fate, the party that came back from the wilderness on the promise of unifying the country by putting an end to divisive race-based legislation and abolishing the Maori seats is now planning to carve up New Zealand’s coastline to hand it over to selected Maori tribes. The extent of National’s reversal can be seen in the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Bill that was tabled in Parliament last week.
Our beaches are such an intrinsic part of the common heritage of all New Zealanders that it is almost impossible to understand how a democratically elected government could even consider allocating it based on race. The Territorial Sea, which is a key part of the common foreshore and seabed area, is not only a rich source of recreational and business interests, but it plays a crucial role in national security.
However, the National Party appears prepared to trade our common heritage away for something it values more – Maori Party votes. This “beach for votes” deal continues this country on a dangerous slippery slide. National has already indicated that 10 percent of the coastline – some 2,000 km – is expected to be transferred to Maori tribes as a direct result of their law being passed. That is the distance from Cape Reinga to the Bluff wrapped around the coast and stretched out to the 12 nautical mile limit. But that will only be the start.
The Maori Party has already indicated they intend re-negotiating the foreshore and seabed issue with future governments. That means that the bar will be progressively lowered until eventually the whole of the foreshore and Territorial Sea will be owned and controlled by corporate iwi. But it won’t even stop there. Tribal leaders have already got the entire Exclusive Economic Zone out to the 200 mile limit in their sights, and anyone except the most naïve amongst us will realise that once the Prime Minister sets the country onto this particular path, Maori leaders will not stop until they control the whole of New Zealand ’s coastline.
And if anyone thinks that that may be an exaggeration, then just look at the progress Maori leader have made since 2003, when this whole fiasco first came to light.
You might recall that up until June 2003, conventional wisdom held that the foreshore and seabed was owned by the Crown on behalf of all New Zealanders. This was settled law, affirmed by a Court of Appeal decision in 1963. If Maori had thought they owned the foreshore and seabed every Treaty of Waitangi claim since historic claims were permitted in 1985 would have included such claims. None did.
However, on June 19th 2003, in a controversial decision in the Ngati Apa case, the Court of Appeal indicated that Maori were entitled to seek customary title over areas of the foreshore and seabed through the Maori Land Court . While they cautioned that there would be little if any such land with customary title left in the country, the decision opened the door to a flood of claims for the entire coastline.
Instead of appealing the decision to the Privy Council, the Labour Government decided to legislate, vesting ownership of the foreshore and seabed in the Crown and creating new rights for coastal tribes.
The first of these was a ‘customary right’, which gave tribes that could prove in court that they had practiced a customary activity since 1840 in a substantially uninterrupted manner, exemptions from the need to apply for resource consents for their activities. In addition they could impose wahi tapu to prevent public access to areas they considered sacred.
The second more substantial right was a “territorial customary title”. To qualify, a group had to prove in court that they had used and occupied the area, to the exclusion of all persons who did not belong to the group, without substantial interruption since 1840 and that the group had continuous title to contiguous land. In other words, if the group did not own the land abutting the foreshore and seabed area being claimed, or if the area had been used by others who were not members of the group, then their claim would fail. However, if their claim succeeded, they could then negotiate redress with the government to establish a foreshore and seabed reserve, appoint a Board to administer it, and draw up a Charter to outline the range of negotiated activities and rights that had been agreed. These would need to comply with the RMA and national coastal policy statements. The final stage in the process involved passing legislation through Parliament.
While these rights appear generous and powerful, the process was designed to be open, by requiring proof of eligibility in court and by legislating the final deal through Parliament. Over the six years since the 2004 Act was passed, although a few groups have started the process, no claims have been finalised. Many groups opted to wait to see if a new government would change the law to make the process easier.
So how have these key provisions changed in National’s new law? The answer is that the provisions are now not only more flexible, less onerous and more generous, but the process can now be orchestrated in secret.
Firstly, National has created a whole new set of rights: Mana tuku iho, will be allocated around the entire coastline and will give all tribal groups that apply the right to participate in local conservation processes involving marine reserves, marine mammal sanctuaries, and conservation protected areas. In addition, they will have a say in all applications for concessions operating in the area including marine mammal watching. It is unclear who will pay the groups or how that money will be raised. What is clear is that un-elected tribal groups, who have no accountability to local communities, will have considerable powers over local coastal decision-making.
Secondly, Protected Customary Rights can be able to be awarded to tribal groups, for rights that have been exercised since 1840 – whether it continues to be exercised in exactly the same or a similar way, or evolves over time. In other words, the criteria surrounding customary rights has been relaxed to enable whatever the original practice has morphed into, to qualify! In addition, the powers associated with these rights have been extended, so that while rights holders can now approve or decline RMA consents in their area, their own activities are not subjected to RMA processes. Further, their activities – which can be of a commercial nature – can now be delegated or transferred to others. Also, rather than having to prove their entitlement in an open court of law, applicant groups now have the option of negotiating their deal in secret with friendly Ministers (and there is no doubt that the Hon Chris Finlayson and the Hon Pita Sharples are such Ministers, but so too may be those who follow them in successive governments)!
National has given the third level of rights, Customary Marine Title, the status of an ownership title, although it cannot be sold. It has significantly lowered the bar for a group to qualify: instead of having to own the land next door to the area being claimed, that contiguous land provision has been dropped; and instead of having to have exclusive and uninterrupted use of the area since 1840, the definition has been extended to allow ‘transfers’, not just within an applicant group, but with outsiders as well – just so long as it is all done in accordance with… wait for it… “tikanga”!
The powers and privileges associated with a customary marine title, which no longer need to be proven in an open court but can be negotiated with Ministers in private and passed through an Order in Council instead of an open Parliamentary process, are considerable. They entitle the group to extensive commercial benefits, which can be delegated or transferred to other groups. These powers include the right of veto over any activity within the area which may require a coastal permit (without any rights of appeal) including RMA applications, conservation permissions, and marine mammal watching permits. Customary title holders are free to mine non-nationalised minerals, and collect royalties from all such existing mineral operations (amazingly, from the time they apply for their title – not from the time it is granted!). They can develop the area, as well as designate wahi tapu to prohibit public access. National has given un-elected, unaccountable tribal title holders the right to create planning documents that not only over-ride local government, the RMA, Historic Places Trust, and other government agencies, but that have a standing that requires them to be considered in coastal policy statements.
This week’s NZCPR Guest Commentator is economist Prof Roger Bowden, who, in his opinion piece The Iwi Tax is Upon Us explains that the new bill that National is ‘slipping under the radar’ will have damaging long term economic and social fallout’:
“The revised Act (FSII) is a stunning reversal of economic agency, which in this context means that an elected government is the implied agent of those who put it into power. To be sure, it always has to be flexible agency, one that can adapt to changing circumstances. But there has to be extended consultation if so.
“In the present context, the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2010 will effectively have the status of a constitutional change for the country. The Bill satisfies two of the classical tests for an uncodified constitution such as New Zealand ’s: it creates property rights, and it cannot be easily reversed.
“For this reason alone, rushing it through to preserve a parliamentary majority is an agency breach at its most destructive. It’s a fair guess that a large number of National Party voters would be very unhappy if they realised the full implications of the Bill; and possibly already are, given the self selection bias in political polling. ‘Policy inconsistency’ is another polite name for an agency failure of this kind.”
The point is that National’s assurances that their new law guarantees free public access and little change just doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. In the present law, it is prohibited for iwi to charge for access to the public foreshore and seabed, yet that provision has been dropped by National in their new law. While the right for tribal groups to impose wahi tapu under the present law has not been an issue, since no groups have qualified, under National’s proposed law with the bar being significantly lowered, the public may well find themselves excluded from favourite picnic and fishing spots – with no rights of appeal. And while royalties and commercial returns from foreshore and seabed activities flow to the government at the present time to be used to fund our hospitals, schools and other public services, under National’s plan, they will be progressively channelled into the private coffers of corporate iwi.
Submissions on the bill will be open soon – we will keep you posted on how you can have your say on National’s alarming new law.

GENEVA No breakthrough was promised at Syria peace talks in Geneva, and no breakthrough has occurred. However as the primary U.N.-led talks in nearly a 12 months neared their finish on Friday, neither aspect has walked away and each declare small wins.
U.N. mediator Staffan de Mistura has not but bought the rival negotiators to speak to one another, however has met them sequentially over seven days to attempt to agree easy methods to construction future rounds and hold the method alive.
He gave them a working paper on the outset, laying out his floor guidelines.
“I’d hope that by the top of this spherical we’d have a deeper shared understanding of how we are able to proceed in future rounds in discussing every challenge basket,” it stated, referring to his plan to section the talks into three most important subjects.
Syrian authorities negotiator Bashar al-Ja’afari has pushed so as to add “counter-terrorism” as a fourth subject, alongside the formation of a brand new structure, new elections and reformed governance. Ja’afari says the demand has been accepted by de Mistura, although there was no affirmation by the mediator.
“Seven days for locating an agenda will not be a waste of time,” stated Ja’afari, a veteran negotiator whose day job is ambassador to the U.N. in New York.
His opponent, chief opposition negotiator Nasr al-Hariri, additionally thinks issues are going his method, with a declare that Ja’afari has conceded to speak about “political transition” – beforehand a poisonous phrase for the federal government of President Bashar al-Assad.
“The political course of will not be a straightforward course of, it can’t be concluded in a single or two weeks. Extra effort is required, extra time is required,” Hariri stated.
“UP IN THE AIR”
Previous peace efforts have blown up, usually as a fractured opposition succumbed to strain from occasions on the battlefield, having didn’t penetrate Ja’afari’s steely intransigence.
The newest spherical might nonetheless fail, but it surely at the least rode out the fallout from a militant assault on two safety workplaces within the metropolis of Homs final Saturday that killed dozens and which de Mistura stated was a deliberate try and derail the talks.
The possibilities of success this time are nonetheless unclear.
“It is up within the air at this stage. De Mistura is maintaining his playing cards near his chest and will have one thing up his sleeve,” stated one Western diplomat.
Russia, which is seen as holding the stability of energy, can be sending combined alerts. A senior Russian diplomat met Hariri and different opposition members, whom Assad’s authorities regards as terrorists, however Russia’s International Ministry later accused the opposition of attempting to sabotage the talks.
Moscow has held parallel negotiations in coordination with Turkey and Iran within the Kazakh capital Astana to strengthen a shaky ceasefire and has tried to increase the scope to cowl political facets akin to a discussing a brand new structure.
A brand new spherical of Astana talks is due on March 14, and Russian officers stated this week Geneva negotiations might resume on March 20.

The Age of Miracles
Aug 08, 2012
The Age of Miracles is a beautifully written book. The prose is gorgeous and vivid with some great imagery. The plotting is subtle, and the book is definitely more about the characters than what happens to the world they are living in. The science fiction part of the story is weak.

(Bloomberg) -- Glencore Plc was told to pay almost $30 million in restitution to the founders of a company that provided healthcare related services in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and was forced to shut down as a result of the commodities giant’s global bribery scheme.
US District Judge Lorna G. Schofield in New York on Monday ordered Glencore to pay $29.6 million to the company, Crusader Health, for bribing a public official in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in exchange for dismissing a lawsuit brought by Crusader against a Glencore subsidiary. Crusader had sought more than $50 million.
Crusader’s story is an example of the sprawling web of corruption that led Glencore to admit to decades of bribery and market manipulation in May, agreeing to pay about $1.5 billion to settle probes in the US, UK and Brazil that have overshadowed its business for years. The company is scheduled to be sentenced by Schofield Tuesday.
Crusader Health, founded by Ian and Laurethe Hagen, operated in 11 African countries and provided healthcare services including health and travel insurance, drugmaking and building and operating hospitals. The company had contracts to provide medical care to two different mining companies in the Democratic Republican of the Congo in 2009, which were later taken over by an indirect subsidiary of Glencore.
The Glencore subsidiary appointed a new manager to oversee the contracts. When Crusader was unable to verify his credentials, a probe was started by the local medical council, the judge wrote. But the manager had a close relationship with Glencore and an executive at the subsidiary threatened Ian Hagen’s family and warned he would get Crusader shut down in the country unless the issue was “swept under the carpet,” according to the ruling.
Crusader’s contracts were terminated and the company sued the Glencore subsidiary. But Glencore paid $500,000 to a public official to have the case dismissed, and Crusader shut down in 2012, Schofield said in the ruling.
Glencore “delivered the proverbial one-two punch to make good on its threat that Crusader ‘will never operate in the DRC again,’” Schofield wrote. The company “terminated the two contracts, placing Crusader in a dramatically weakened financial position. Then, defendant paid an illegal bribe to ensure that Crusader would not collect funds that would enable it to survive without the lost contract revenue.”
The company was sentenced in Connecticut in September to $486 million in fines and forfeitures for conspiring to manipulate US oil-price benchmarks, and was hit with a £276 million ($333 million) penalty by a London judge in November for its effort to bribe government officials for access to oil cargoes across Africa.
The case is US v Glencore, 22-cr-297, US District Court, Southern District of New York.

Net income drops 63 percent at Greatbatch Inc.
Local medical manufacturer Greatbatch Inc. reported first-quarter net income of $4.5 million, or 19 cents per share, down sharply –- 62.6 percent, specifically –- from $11.9 million, or 51 cents per share, for the same quarter in 2011.
Yet total sales rose 6.9 percent, bolstered by a recent acquisition, officials at the Clarence-based company said this week. In December, Greatbatch purchased Micro Power Electronics for $60 million through its Electrochem Solutions Inc. subsidiary.
Company president and CEO Thomas Hook acknowledged the decline in first-quarter operating results, due in part to increased investment in medical devices and operational issues within the firm’s European orthopaedic facilities. Still, he expects the business to pick up in coming months.
“We expect our results to improve as the year progresses, driven by moderate growth in our underlying markets in the second half of the year, further commercialization of our medical device pipeline and operational improvements that will come from further integration of our recent acquisitions and consolidation of our orthopaedic operations,” he said.
Sales totaled $159.1 million as of March 31, up from $148.8 million at the end of the same quarter in 2011. Net research, development and engineering costs rose to $13.9 million, up from $10.4 million a year ago.
Greatbatch Medical sales dropped eight percent to $117.8 million for the quarter, while Electrochem sales rose to $41.2 million from $20.7 million a year ago.

A couple of weeks ago, in my post on Apricot Chicken with Cranberry Rice Pilaf, I confessed one of my deepest, darkest secrets - my penchant for buying new and unusual ingredients at the grocery store and then remorsefully trying to figure out what to do with them.
Well, in the immortal words of Britney Spears "oops, I did it again" - although this time the ingredient wasn't new, and I had a few ideas of what to do with it.
The ingredient in question is "Lyle's Golden Syrup" a british ingredient that my Grandmother grew up with that has become more widely available in recent years. So what exactly is it? Golden cane syrup to be exact - a bit thinner than honey or corn syrup and with a light caramel flavor.
So, what exactly do you make with this?? Well, you could certainly make flapjacks (not pancakes but an early forerunner of the granola bar) or make Chocolate Caramel Slice Bars. Can you guess which one I chose??
Caramel Slice Bars, a.k.a. Millionaire's Shortbread, Caramel Bars, Windsor Bars, or Milky Way bars are a cross between a bar cookie and a candy. Sinfully rich, they consist of a layer of shortbread topped by a layer of smooth caramel and milk (or in this case semi sweet) chocolate.
I am not going to lie to you, these bars are full of butter - but because they are so rich you won't be tempted to eat a large portion (or so I keep telling myself, uh huh...) so they aren't something you'd make everyday. But when nothing else but rich caramel and chocolate will do, these are the bars for you!!!
Curious about flapjacks?? You can find some great recipes for them here!
Ladles and Jellyspoons - English Flapjacks
Real Epicurean Maple Pecan Flapjacks
Chocolate Caramel Slice Bars
If you can't find Lyle's Golden Syrup, you can substitute honey or or agave syrup. These bars can be made 3 days in advance. But be careful, they might not last that long!!

Chinese regulators should step up support for the economy and keep ample liquidity in the financial system, Vice Premier Liu He says, suggesting Beijing will soon unveil more policies to bolster growth amid rising US trade pressure.
Beijing has plenty of policy tools and is capable of dealing with various challenges, Liu said at a financial forum in Shanghai on Thursday.
Despite a slew of support measures and policy easing since last year, China's cooling economy is still struggling to get back on firm footing, and last month's sudden escalation in US-Sino tensions has raised fears of a full-blown trade war that could trigger a global recession.
Liu's comments came after a day after data showed China's credit growth was weaker than expected in May, reinforcing market expectations that more monetary easing is needed. Factory activity contracted in May and imports fell the most in nearly three years, highlighting soft demand.
"At present, we do have some external pressures, but those external pressures will help us boost our self-reliance in innovation and accelerate the pace of high-speed development," said Liu, who is also the lead negotiator in the US-China trade talks.
The government will roll out more strong measures to promote reforms and opening up, added Liu.
People's Bank of China chief Yi Gang said last week that there was "tremendous" room to make policy adjustments if the trade war worsens.
"We have plenty of room in interest rates, we have plenty of room in the required reserve ratio rate, and also for the fiscal, monetary policy tool kit, I think the room for adjustment is tremendous," Yi said.
Earlier on Thursday, China Daily, citing economists, said China is expected to adjust money and credit supply in coming weeks, including cuts to interest rates or reserve ratio requirements, to counter "downside risks" if trade tensions escalate.
Unlike previous downturns, the central bank has been reluctant to cut benchmark interest rates so far.
More forceful easing could also trigger capital outflows and add pressure on the Chinese yuan, which has slid nearly 3 per cent against the US dollar since the trade flare-up last month.
Sources told Reuters in February that the PBOC considered a benchmark rate cut a last resort. But some analysts now think one or more cuts are likely if the trade dispute spirals out of control and the US Federal Reserve starts cutting its rates, giving the PBOC more room to manoeuvre.
Beijing has set a growth target of around 6 to 6.5 per cent for this year, easing from 6.6 per cent in 2018, which was the slowest rate of expansion the country has seen in nearly 30 years.

One of the most commonly prosecuted federal crimes is wire fraud. There a variety of activities that fall under the classification of wire fraud, which often goes hand in hand with mail fraud. A conviction on wire fraud charges can result in extremely severe penalties, including years of incarceration and thousands of dollars in fines. Therefore, it is essential that you get legal advice from a qualified Texas criminal defense attorney if you are being investigated for or charged with any type of wire fraud.
Wire fraud charges typically involve messages sent via one or more means of communication, such as wire, radio, television, telephone, fax, email, or another type of internet messaging system. Each message that a person sends qualifies as a separate count of wire fraud. This is important to understand, since each count of wire fraud can lead to a fine of up to $250,000, or, in the case of a financial institution or presidentially declared major disaster or emergency, up to $1 million per offense. Each count of wire fraud also can lead to a jail sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison, or, in the case of a financial institution or presidentially declared major disaster or emergency, up to 30 years in federal prison. A wire fraud conviction also may result in an order to pay restitution to the victim of the fraud.
Fortunately, there are a number of different defenses available to charges of wire fraud. For instance, you may have evidence showing good faith, or, in other words, that you did not intend to defraud anyone. If law enforcement officials improperly or illegally obtained evidence in support of your wire fraud charges, then it is possible that the evidence should be suppressed. Whatever the case may be, you’ll need the strong and aggressive legal representation in order to deal with accusations of wire fraud.
The criminal defense lawyers of Peek Law Group have handled the legal defense of countless individuals who are facing criminal charges. We are here to protect your rights and advocate on your behalf in order to get the best outcome possible in your case.

BBQ Father Restaurant – History
Welcome to The BBQ Father Exmouth Restaurant.
Our Exmouth Restaurant is located on Murat Road, in the heart of Exmouth in Western Australia.
Sav and Sabri’s passion for smoked meat began 15 years ago.
When they opened our first restaurant in Italy we built this massive grill on
the outside area in wich we were cooking fantastic T bone steaks and
home made “ salamella” panini ……..
Sav and Sabri bought their first smoker in Australia, and gradually the BBQ Father’s customers
couldn’t get enough of it, so obsessed Sav craved for
The Texas SMOKER!
So at the beginnning of 2013 Salvatore ( Sabri’s crazy
husband ) knew where he needed to go to expand his knowledge and
buy smokers in Texas !
Salvatore flew to Texas in February 2014 for 4 days …….we told you
he is crazy :”) and He finally meets the Texan guys from Pit Maker .
A special thanks to Vic and Pete www.pitmaker.com .
Together with them, Salvatore choose his SMOKERS!
Then He flew back to OZ and started to build the trailer for the
smokers and a big thanks go to all the local businesses and friends that
help us on our new journey.
Salvatore and Sabri have been together since 1999 and as the guys from
PitMaker say “ We have a passion for what we do “ as you will find, across the seas we do too.
Sabri and Chef Sav love their work and work together.
As seasoned restaurateurs, Sabri and Sav believe The BBQ father restaurant is another great chapter in their lives and really hope you enjoy their now landmark famous food with the best Exmouth restaurant experience. See you soon at Exmouth’s Top rated Restaurant.

In the world of packaging, PET plastic preforms play a silent yet crucial role in shaping the containers that hold our beverages, personal care products, and household items. While often overlooked, the design of PET plastic preforms involves a meticulous process that determines the quality, durability, and efficiency of the final product.
The Genesis of PET Plastic Preforms:
PET, or polyethylene terephthalate, is a versatile and widely used thermoplastic polymer. The journey of PET plastic preforms begins with the raw material – PET resin. The resin is processed into preforms, which are then transformed into bottles through a process known as stretch blow molding. This efficient and cost-effective method has become the standard in the packaging industry.
Key Elements in PET Plastic Preform Design:
The quality of the PET resin is paramount in PET plastic preform design. High-quality resin ensures the final product's durability, transparency, and resistance to external factors such as UV light. The careful selection of PET resin contributes to the preform's ability to maintain the integrity of the packaged contents and withstand the rigors of transportation and handling.
PET plastic preforms are precision-engineered with specific geometries that influence the final bottle's shape and characteristics. The design of the preform includes considerations for the neck finish, body diameter, and base thickness, all of which contribute to the overall structural stability and appearance of the final container.
Neck and Thread Design:
The neck of the preform is a critical element, as it determines the compatibility with closures and caps. The design of the neck includes features such as thread patterns, sealing surfaces, and tamper-evident elements. A well-designed neck ensures a secure and leak-resistant seal, preserving the freshness and quality of the packaged product.
Base Design and Thickness:
The base of the PET plastic preform is designed to provide stability and support to the bottle. The thickness of the base is carefully calculated to withstand internal pressure during the blow molding process and external forces during transportation and handling. An optimized base design ensures uniform distribution of material and contributes to the container's overall strength.
Wall Thickness Distribution:
Achieving uniform wall thickness is crucial in PET plastic preform design. An even distribution of material throughout the preform ensures consistent bottle quality, preventing variations in thickness that could compromise structural integrity. Uniform wall thickness also contributes to the bottle's aesthetic appeal and transparency.
Advances in PET plastic preform design include the incorporation of barrier technologies to enhance the material's properties. These barriers may include coatings or additives that improve resistance to oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases, extending the shelf life of products and preserving their quality.
Impact on the Packaging Industry:
Lightweighting for Sustainability:
PET plastic preforms have played a pivotal role in the lightweight trend within the packaging industry. The design allows for the creation of lightweight yet durable bottles, reducing material consumption and transportation costs. This lightweight approach aligns with sustainability goals by minimizing environmental impact and optimizing resource efficiency.
Versatility in Packaging Solutions:
The versatility of PET plastic preforms enables the production of a wide range of packaging solutions. From water bottles and soda containers to personal care products and household items, PET preforms offer flexibility in design and application. The adaptability of PET plastic preforms contributes to their widespread use across various industries.
Efficiency in Manufacturing:
The design of PET plastic preforms enhances manufacturing efficiency. The precision-engineered geometry and standardized production processes contribute to consistent quality and high production rates. The efficiency gains translate into cost savings for manufacturers and, ultimately, for consumers.
Recyclability and Circular Economy:
The recyclability of PET plastic preforms aligns with the growing emphasis on circular economy principles. The design considerations, including material selection and uniform wall thickness, contribute to the ease of recycling PET bottles. The ability to recycle PET containers into new preforms fosters a closed-loop system, reducing waste and minimizing the environmental footprint of packaging.
Innovations in Sustainability:
The ongoing development of PET plastic preforms involves continuous innovations in sustainable packaging solutions. This includes the exploration of bio-based PET resins, post-consumer recycled content, and alternative barrier technologies. The design evolution reflects the industry's commitment to advancing environmentally friendly packaging options.

Late 2013 MacBook Pros can run a 3840×2160 display at 60Hz – But there’s a catch…
This month sees the launch of the new Mac Pro from Apple, which can support multiple 4K displays. Many Mac fans hope that Apple will also be launch 4K displays to go with the new computer.
Yesterday MacRumors reported that Dell are starting to promote a new 24″ ‘4K’ monitor. This is relevant news because Dell pricing is usually much keener than other suppliers, and Dell usually use the same display panel manufacturers as Apple.
Apple have already said that the new MacBook Pros with Retina can support a 3840 by 2160 display via their HDMI port at 30MHz. The question is whether their two Thunderbolt 2 ports can support large displays at higher refresh rates – which means smoother movement for animation and video with frame rates faster than 30 frames per second. Apple haven’t publicised that the new MacBook Pro can run two 4K external monitors alongside it’s 2880 by 1440 internal screen.
Dell’s new display uses the DisplayPort 1.2 standard, which supports 60Hz refresh rates at 3840 by 2160 at a high bit depth. Thunderbolt connections have always been able to support monitors with an DisplayPort 1.0 interface. So far Apple haven’t been clear about whether Thunderbolt 2 can handle the increased demands of DisplayPort 1.2. Will the MacBook Pro and new Mac Pro only work at high refresh rates with Apple Thunderbolt 2 displays? Navicat for mac.
Best Mac Pro (2013): 4K Monitor! ASUS 4K Monitor: The brand new Mac Pro (2013) features tons of new goodies. These features include 4K.
Well it's happened––two monitors are no longer enough for editing workspaces, scripts, email, etc and want to connect a third monitor (that might have to be mounted to the ceiling!) but I'm having problems getting all three monitors to run on the Mac Pro. I'm running OS 10.13.6 on Late 2013 Mac Pro with AMD FirePro D500 graphics, 32 GB mem. With Target Display Mode you can use the iMac as a display for the MacBook, or use an iMac as a display for another iMac. – in the example of a new Macbook Pro and 2013 iMac (Which currently. After reviewing more than 100 of the best monitors from the best brands, we know a thing or two about what works well with Apple’s MacBook Pro. Our top recommendation is the stunning BenQ. Question: Q: External Monitor for macbook pro 2013 I have used the ASUS MB169B+ as an external monitor for years on my macbook pro. It uses a USB 3.0 cable that I plugged into my USB 3.0 for 2 years.
A good sign can be found in a post by ‘kogir’ on the Apple’s Support Discussions site:
Yes. The Macbook Pro Retina Display (Late 2013) works for me via the Thunderbolt 2 port @ 4K 60hz under Windows 8.1 with the ASUS PQ321Q.
The hardware support is there, and I fully expect OS X to get support in time for the Mac Pro launch.
Used Mac Pro 2013
My one worry is that it *is* a driver issue, and the Mac Pro has ATI graphics, so it’s still not impossible that the Nvidia drivers for the MBPR never get support :/
Monitors For Mac Pro 2013 Crack
So for now, the Thunderbolt 2 ports on the new MacBook Pro support a 3840 by 2160 display only if the MacBook is running Windows 8.1.
Mac Pro 2013 Cpu
The good news is that higher refresh rate 4K displays from many suppliers are likely to work with the new Mac Pro and MacBook Pro with a driver update in OS X Mavericks – not limiting monitor options to new Apple Thunderbolt 2 displays.
