Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical Rerum novarum and Pope Pius XI’s encyclical Quadragesimo anno are considered the foundational documents of modern Catholic Social Teachings (CST). Catholic progressives and traditionalists both look to Rerum novarum and Quadragesimo anno as blueprints for a fairer, more human, and more Catholic social order (conservotrads tend to ignore CST to worship at the altar of the invisible hand).
Any illusions that Western Catholic might have had that the Synod on the Family might at least open up discussions on LGBT rights or loosening up restrictions on divorced and/or civilly remarried Catholics from taking communion were dashed when conservative bishops, led by what one might call “the African contingent” railed against such people as “the smoke of Satan.” It was Cardinal Francis Arinze who gave us these immortal lines, “Most people in continental Europe or even North America, when they hear of a synod they think immediately of divorce-remarriage and will they receive Holy Communion. And they even mention homosexual unions,” Arinze said in an interview. “Africans say ‘Lord help us! Is that what you understand by family? This synod is on the fa-mi-ly.”
Clearly, divorced Catholics and LGBT people are not part of the “fa-mi-ly.”
Progressives have been up in arms in the past couple of days ever since finding out that Pope Francis had a private meeting with faux Christian martyr Kim Davis during his recent visit to the United States:
That Francis would provide moral succor to a woman who represents the religious right’s continued attack on the civil rights of LGBT Americans while refusing to meet with any LGBT Catholics was a rude awakening for progressives who thought that Francis might be steering the Catholic church on a more compassionate path. My answer to those who have been blindsided by this revelation, is why is this such a shock?
When Hurricane Katrina hit, I was actually in RCIA classes, not at St F (which, as a traditionalist parish, considered RCIA to be an “innovation” of Vatican II), but at the first stop on my religious misadventures, St A, which was mostly black. Many of the parishioners at St A had a familial connection to Louisiana in general and New Orleans in particular, and an influx of evacuees arrived at the parish after Katrina. During RCIA classes, we would discuss theodicy as it related to New Orleans and Katrina. At the time, the usual suspects were claiming that New Orleans was targeted by god because of its randy Mardi Gras celebrations, and the ever-present problem of “the gays.” It’s not surprising that fundamentalist Protestants like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson would beat up on New Orleans, but this article by Richard John Neuhaus illustrates the ambivalence that conservotrads had towards the United States’ most Catholic city:
Last Sunday, while addressing Rock Hill Missionary Baptist Church, a black church in rural South Carolina, GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee asserted, “I hear people say we’ve got racial problems. We don’t have a skin problem in this country, we have a sin problem in this country.” In a 1997 speech commemorating the desegregation of Little Rock’s Central High, Huckabee expanded on this “sin not skin” notion by saying:
Government can do some things, but only God can change people’s hearts. Government can put us in the same classrooms, but government can’t make classmates go home and be friends when school is out.
Government can make sure the doors of every public building are open to everyone. Government can ensure that we share schools and streets and lunch counters and buses and elevators and theaters, but let us never forget that only God can give us the power to love each other and respect each other and to share life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I imagine that these statements went over quite well, given that they were uttered in the Bible Belt, where people of all races love god-talk, but they’re quite silly, given that 1. Christianity and racism have aided and abetted each other throughout the centuries 2. prejudice surrounding skin color most certainly is the problem, not “sin.”
I seem to recall that the Archdiocese of Atlanta’s website used to post the addresses of abortion clinics in the metro Atlanta area so Catholics could go pray the rosary outside of them. Nothing more radical was recommended, presumably to avoid any legal liabilities or charges of stalking, but there was a general idea that a near-constant Catholic presence at abortion clinics would somehow be a positive influence on those entering and leaving the facilities in question. I couldn’t find that page on the Archdiocese site today, but I’m sure that the practice of saying the rosary in front of abortion clinics is still being encouraged.
Section 2358 of The Catechism of the Catholic Church has this to say about the plight of LGBT people in this well-known and often quoted text:
2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
What we have is the church trying to maintain a “middle road” between the notion of “gay liberation” and the hardline evangelical view that considers LGBT people as an existential threat to “traditional values” and “traditional Christianity.” Conservotrads like to use this passage to show that the church really does care about LGBT people and doesn’t wish them any harm. However, if this is true, then why is it that the Catholic church always supports measures that aim to codify discrimination against LGBT people? Conservotrads would probably answer by saying that these “religious freedom” bills are necessary to protect religious organizations and religious people against discrimination lawsuits. But if your actions are putting you at risk for lawsuits, doesn’t that mean that you are by definition engaging in discrimination? I would say so.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines discrimination as, “the practice of unfairly treating a person or group of people differently from other people or groups of people.” Refusing to serve someone because of their sexual orientation constitutes treating a group of people unfairly. As many people have pointed out, even if a business owner find gay people objectionable from a religious standpoint, it begs the question of why he or she isn’t refusing service to other categories of “sinners” like divorcees, gluttons, heterosexual adulterers, Sabbath breakers, liars, inhospitable people, etc. Why is the “sin” of homosexuality to be treated so differently than others? I suppose that much of this is due to the fact that LGBT people are a relatively small minority, whereas divorcees and gluttons are so numerous that their “sins” don’t even seem like “sin” even to other religionists.
Discrimination is nothing less that institutionalized violence by the legal system against a particular group of people. For the Catholic church to assert that it doesn’t wish violence onto LGBT people while at the same time supporting laws that legalize discrimination against them is the height of absurdity. It’s even more ridiculous, given that prelates in Africa have gone on the record as supporting “kill the gays” bills or laws that would jail LGBT people for simply congregating in one place. One is reminded of the behavior of Yasser Arafat, who used to say one thing in English to the Western media and would then say the exact opposite in Arabic to the Middle Eastern press. However, the Catholic church in the West is still advocating for violence against LGBT people like it is in Africa, just in a different way.
The fundamental problem with the way the Catholic church deals with LGBT issues is that it regards such people as being outside of its moral concern, much in the same way it traditionally regarded Jews and similar to how the church in America traditionally viewed black people. LGBT people are a social and moral problem, not individuals in their own right, similar to how Western societies once spoke of “the Jewish question,” “the Negro question,” and even “the woman question.” While it is unclear if any of the a fore mentioned questions have adequately been answered, it is obvious that in 2015 “the gay question” is the major moral and political issue of our time. Since Catholic moral theology has traditionally seen homosexuality as a sin to be repented of or a crime worthy of death, it can’t easily assimilate the “gay liberationist” framework into its thinking. Given how much time and energy the church has investing in trying to spread the notion of LGBT people as “objectively disordered” it can’t exactly back away from its position without alienating conservotrads or looking stupid. My guess is that in 50 years or so, the “objectively disordered” language will be de-emphasized, and conservotrads will insist that the church always taught LGBT equality. Until then, the Catholic church can’t claim that it is against violence towards LGBT people while support legalized violence against them.

S. Korea’s indoor farming technology helps crop production in the Middle East
여기는 중동, 한국서 온 스마트팜이 우릴 먹여 살리고 있다
November 11th is Farmers Day here in the nation.
Efforts to solve the global issue of food security is ongoing across the globe.
One solution is turning to alternative farming methods.
Korea’s ‘indoor vertical farming is helping grow crops in the Middle East.
Min Suk-hyen gets us better acquainted with this technology.
This may look like a regular shipping container, but in fact it’s an indoor vertical farm exported to the United Arab Emirates by a South Korean company.
The 12-meter long container is filled with vertical racks of crops, including Romaine lettuce.
Named ‘Planty Cube’, the farm replaces conventional farming methods with digital technology.
Natural sunlight is replaced with artificial lighting and water levels, air temperatures, and humidity can be adjusted with just a few clicks.
“It also operates under a hydroponic system, where nutrients are mixed into water so that crops can grow without soil.”
Farms can also be monitored remotely from South Korea, even from a smartphone, and conditions can be adjusted to optimize plant growth.
This way of farming can produce quality food all year round, without being affected by the weather, natural disasters or disease.
There has been high demand for South Korean indoor vertical farms in the Middle East.
Two indoor vertical farms were first set up in July 2019 as part of a pilot project.
Now a total of 10 are stationed in Abu Dhabi with more planned to be shipped next year.
“We are actually planning to export our farm in the next first quarter about 50 cultivation modules… Also, we’re getting a lot of requests from other GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) areas, such as Saudi Arabia, Oman and Kuwait. ”
South Korea launched a set of programs last year to export its smart farm technologies.
It aims to become a key player in the industry, along with the U.S. and the Netherlands.

By Michael Raffety 12-30-13
When my son was 14 and my daughter in junior college we took them on a trip to Europe. In London we visited the Tower of London and Trafalgar Square, among other things. On our way to Trafalgar Square we realized we had come upon a gay parade — and this one was way bigger than the one in San Francisco. It was huge. Afterward parade participants scattered around the city and we caught site of one with a hoop skirt as big as the Mother Goose character in the Nutcracker Ballet.
England remains perennially cute. Cute includes a municipal band that entertains patrons at Paddington Station. Paddington is where we caught the train to Bath. From the train station in Bath we walked about a block to the Best Western Motel, which seemed more American than British — a very comfortable surprise.
My wife stayed behind in Bath and caught a performance of the boys choir at the Anglican church next to the old Roman bath. I rented a car and the kids and I were off to the Salisbury Plain. Right-hand drive was no problem for me. I had spent a summer in New Zealand while in the Navy and bought and rebuilt a 1947 English Ford, which I drove all over the place. Right-hand-drive and circles were a snap. The only real problem is being a pedestrian who still naturally looks left first instead of right first.
Arriving at Stonehenge, I was surprised to find it near the fork of two highways. It was still impressive, though.
Now, the Associated Press reported that the road right next Stonehenge is being closed and grassed over. The visitors center has been totally redone and includes a diorama of Stonehenge and bus service to the collection of BC blue stones hauled in from 175 mile in 3000 BC. Or one can walk the 1.5-mile path to get there. Either way the tickets are now going to cost you $24 each to help pay the $44 million spent on relocating the highway and building the fancy-schmancy center with a diorama and a metal model of Stonehenge. Maybe that price will discourage modern-day Druids who gather there for winter and summer solstices by the thousands.
Equally fascinating for me is the Avebury Circle. At 28 acres it is the largest stone circle in the world. The circle of stones goes right through the middle of the little village of Avebury. There are actually two circles inside of the large outer circle. Only the outer ring is apparent to anyone but an archeologist. And visible from Avebury is a large chalk mound (131 feet high) called Silbury Hill. No one is buried there. It is just another mystery monument, shaped somewhat like the mound of dirt piled on the south side of the Ray Lawyer Driver overpass. No one is buried there either. So far that is a mystery monument as well.
Avebury has no admission fee. It is open to anyone who can find a place to park. The Avebury henge attracts people who stand, sit and crouch under the rocks or hug them as though they absorb some mystic empowerment from the stones that date back to about 2600 BC.
Who am I to say they can’t? Though the rock huggers look a little dopey. The Avebury Circle was so much larger in diameter than Stonehenge, but less dramatic. When we drove on to Salisbury Cathedral I found that pretty impressive and somewhat mystical, though the rock huggers might have regarded me as dopey. My son didn’t wake up from his sleep in the back of the Austin Minor and never saw the cathedral. Not sure how a 6-foot-5-inch 14-year-old managed to curl up in the back of the Austin. It was mystical, for sure.

or four years, with the recluse professor. If the measure of a teacher's ability and success be the amount of technical information he imparts to his pupils, Doctor Balfe certainly fell short of the standard. The defects in his vocal organs (hinted at above) interfered considerably with attractive lecturing. Moreover, like most deep-thinking men, who live in habitual solitude, he read the record of knowledge only as it lay before his inner eye, and had no sense of how it appeared, or might be made to appear, to those who could as yet read it only from without. Besides this he had no defined, no orderly or progressive method, of imparting his science. On entering the class-room, after the preparatory prayer, he would deposit his text-book, berretta, spectacles, watch, snuff-box, and red bandana on the desk, and frequently fall into what seemed to be a soliloquy, quite unintelligible to even one before him, his head meanwhile somewhat bowed, his brows knitted, and his forefinger and thumb ploughing over and over incessantly the contents of his snuff-box. Suddenly looking sideways through the corner of his eye, without lifting his head, he would exclaim, “Say, Mr. N-, what was that you said ?” Mr. N- had certainly said nothing since entering the hall, and of the many things he had said on previous occasions, he remembered not one of them. So he looks inquiringly towards the desk, whence after a short time, he learns that perhaps the day before, in recitation, perhaps during the inter-class recess, -when a knot of students were wont to gather round the Doctor to share at once his conversation and his snuff,-he had most likely unconsciously and in sheerest ignorance of its bearing-made use of an expression, which to the keen theological instinct of the Doctor, carried with it the slightest tinge or taint of semi-Pelagianism, or Calvinism, or some equally opprobrious heresy. Woe then to the youth if, now repeating the phrase, he showed by voice or manner the semblance of insisting on its verity. The Doctor would pounce
pounce upon the sentence, distinguish, and subdistinguish its inmost meanings and uttermost bearings, and though it might take many subsequent hours allotted to other class subjects, would never rest until he had buried
the error with all manner of logical and theological obloquy. Herein lay at once his greatest strength and weakness as a professor. His keen penetration reached the most hidden sources and the most distant consequences of theological propositions. This natural acumen, deepened and strengthened by many years of continuous study, had been perfected and rendered sure in its discernings by his constant recollection and communion with God. Habits of prayer and mortification had given to his soul that delicate sensibility which discerns in term or phrase the slightest deviation from the spirit of the Divine message delivered by God to His Church. Had this penetration, and faithful Catholic instinct, been balanced by a sense of proportion, and supplemented by a didactic method, Doctor Balfe would have possessed the qualities of a great professor. Unfortunately this was not the case. He was untiring in his efforts to show up the deepest roots of isolated propositions, and to hunt down to the death, any erroneous statement. But this insistance on detail obliged him to pass over but lightly, large and important areas of the branches he taught; whilst he quite failed to show the bearings of the parts whereon he dwelt so patiently with their immediate setting. He gave his students no notion of Theology as a co-ordinate system of truth. His own conception of his office was of course moulded by the fact that his pupils were young men who had come to him after six years preparation, and might therefore be presumed capable of gathering by private study of approved authors the needed sum of information. Moreover, as an aid to such study, and as somewhat of a basis for questioning in class, he had made a short digest—a theological catechism-of his text books, Kenrick's Dogma and Moral, and of Palma's Lectures on Ecclesiastical History. These synopses written on strips of foolscap, convenient for slipping into the author, were obtained and copied by some of the students. The transcripts being handed around and carried along from class to class in the successive years,
one finds in these notes the best reflex of Doctor Balfe's cast of mind, a mind built on the model of that of Duns Scotus. The pithy propositions and clear-cut
terminology, sum up a large amount of theological and historical matter, and, to the student fairly familiar with the general subject, suggest much more than they express, especially when taken in connection with the authors they represent. The true professor forms his pupils not so much by the oral teaching addressed exclusively to their intellect, as by his entire personality, which is the living exemplification of his doctrine and precepts." From this standpoint we must estimate the power
of Doctor Balfe. The seminarians saw reflected in the life of their professor the meaning and value of theology in its final purpose. The science of Dogma underlies that of Morals, and both have for their ultimate end the “Union of the Human Soul with God,” and the realization of this end was presented to them by the actual life of good Doctor Balfe. Of no one with whom they came in contact could it have been said with greater truth that his “Life was hidden with Christ in God.” This was manifested not only in his habits of prayer and mortification, which were as the atmosphere wherein he lived, but especially by his great humility and charity, and his gentle consideration for the feelings of the least of his pupils. To those to whom it was given to live in close converse with those two professors whose mind and character shed an enduring glory on the Seminary-Doctor Corcoran and Doctor Balfe -it must ever be a comfort and a stimulus to higher feelings, to recall the friendly and almost childlike innocence with which these two remarkable men regarded one another. Both were far advanced in years during their co-labors at Overbrook. Yet each looked up to the other as his superior. Doctor Balfe regarded his confrere as a prodigy of wisdom ; and Doctor Corcoran would speak of his associate as a saint, and a profound scholar. Once when it had fallen to the lot of Doctor Balfe to defend a public thesis, he took his paper to Doctor Corcoran and begged him to correct the Latinity ! The good old Doctor was wont to whisper to his friends this act of humility, and he never failed to add that not only was the thesis remarkable for its solidity and precision of treatment, but that the style was pure and classical. “ Think of Dr. Balfe asking me to correct his Latin! Why Doctor Balfe
writes the Latin of Tacitus.'' Amongst the many examples of his gentle kindness, that cling to the memory of his former pupils, are the pains he took to heal the slightest wound that a chance expression in class might have caused to any one. "The bruised reed he never broke, and the smoking flax he never quenched.” It was his custom to question pretty much the same pupils in each of his classes ; these were not always the brightest, and one or another might at times put forth some erroneous proposition. Down would come the Doctor to combat with might and main until his face grew crimson. It sometimes, though rarely, happened that in the midst of the excited debate he would drop an expression not quite complimentary to the disputant. Presently the class would notice a calm stealing over the ruffled features of their Professor, and the furrows in the forehead would smooth themselves out, and a gentler and more palliating tone would creep into his argument. That same evening he would be heard stealing along the Theologian's corridor, looking for the room of the disputant, and the neighboring students would hear the gentle tap, and then the peculiar head voice at the open door : “I say, you said and I said, but I didn't mean it, didn't mean it at all," and this last phrase would be repeated again and again, as though to impress it to its fullest meaning on the mind of the offended, who had been in reality rather the offender, as well as the willing listeners in the adjoining rooms. And so while he might grow heated in class, he never allowed " the sun to go down on his wrath.” Thus it was that he taught his pupils, winning their reverence and affection; and the seeds of science which he sowed fell on better soil thus prepared; gave promise of greater harvest, and in the final harvest he shall shine as shine those that instruct many unto justice.

20. Abbott is to introduce high-sensitive troponin-I blood test in India
Abbott announced it is to introduce a high-sensitive troponin-I blood test in India. This test can predict chances of a heart attack or other cardiac event months to years in advance.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) cardiovascular diseases kill an estimated 17.7 million people globally. In that, nearly 7.4 million are due to coronary heart disease. The troponin-I test provides better predictive information for determining a person’s chances of developing future heart disease when added to the current standard of care.
Troponin-I proteins are released from the heart and can be found at elevated levels in the blood when the heart muscle has been damaged due to lack of blood flow.

Tributes are being paid to “icon” Dame Diana Rigg, a Bond girl and star of Avengers and Game Of Thrones, who has died at the age of 82.
The award-winning actress died of cancer, which had been diagnosed in March, on Thursday morning, surrounded by her family.
Best known as Emma Peel in The Avengers and more recently for playing Olenna Tyrell in Game of Thrones, Rigg was a star of stage and screen whose career spanned several decades.
She also played Countess Teresa di Vicenzo, James Bond’s wife – the only woman to get 007 to the altar – in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
Paying tribute to her “beloved Ma”, her daughter, Rachael Stirling said the actress “spent her last months joyfully reflecting on her extraordinary life, full of love, laughter and a deep pride in her profession”.Advertisement
She added: “I will miss her beyond words.”
Rigg’s agent, Simon Beresford, announced the news “with tremendous sadness” in a statement describing the star as “an icon of theatre, film, and television”.
He said: “She was the recipient of BAFTA, Emmy, Tony and Evening Standard awards for her work on stage and screen.
“Dame Diana was a much loved and admired member of her profession, a force of nature who loved her work and her fellow actors. She will be greatly missed.”
Playwrights Sir David Hare and Sir Tom Stoppard also paid tribute, with Sir Tom saying: “For half her life Diana was the most beautiful woman in the room, but she was what used to be called a trooper.
“She went to work with her sleeves rolled up and a smile for everyone. Her talent was luminous.”

Author : William M. Isbell
Description:This book presents, in a concise and comprehensive manner, the essential techniques by which shock wave physicists probe the boundaries of material response to impulsive loads. The author is a well-known figure in shock wave physics, having worked for over forty years with many of the outstanding researchers in the field. The book acquaints readers both with modern instrumentation techniques including interferometers such as the DISAR and the VISAR -- and with methods that have been established by previous generations of experimentalists -- including acoustic measurement techniques and low to moderate strain rate machines. Besides an exposition of the theoretical aspects of shock wave phenomena, it contains large amounts of data on equations of state, spallation thresholds, shock wave attenuation from very high pressures, and elastic constants. Much of this information has been previously unavailable in open publications. The text documents the transition from testing performed with explosives to the use of modern compressed gas guns, which permit much more detailed diagnostics and controlled conditions. In particular, the author pioneered the use of two-stage light gas guns which launch high-density plates against specimens located at the muzzle. The high launch velocity of these guns produced data that represents the highest pressures obtained in the free world at that time.

I have always enjoyed Beaujolais, but it has been in the last few years that it really started to take a bigger hold on the market. With the combination of weather problems and other markets scooping up Burgundy allocation we have had to look to other regions for our fix. We have always had the same philosophy when it comes to any region; the wine must taste like where it comes from. That may seem like a simple thought, but it is something that we really look at when buying all the wines for the store, and Beaujolais is no exception.
Technically this region is in Burgundy, however it lies closer to the Rhône region then Burgundy. Primarily a red wine growing region with Gamay being the focus, but you can find a bit of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir here as well. You really have two different styles of Beaujolais that is made; the southern sector which is flatter and has clay based soils, and the northern which is the granite hillsides, which is where the 10 crus sit. This is truly where the Gamay grape flourishes. The wines on granite soils are more structured, ageworthy, but are still a great value.
These wines make the perfect pairing for your Thanksgiving!
Morgon Daniel Bouland “Delys” (Beaujolais) ’13
Daniel Bouland makes some of the best old school wines coming from the Gamay grape in Beaujolais. This wine is deep and muscular, with loads of intensity. This wine comes from 85 year old vines, and is very ageworthy. Lots of dark berry fruit, floral, and spice.
Cuvée Traditionnelle Pierre-Marie Chermette “D. Vissoux” (Beaujolais) ’14
Le Vissoux is a single vineyard site that stretches southwest, and contrary to most of southern Beaujolais soil which is limestone-clay, the soil of this single vineyard is the superior granite. This is what gives the wine more structure. This wine has loads of power and elegance. It is dark red fruits, with soft textures. This is one of my go to wines especially for the price.
We will be CLOSED Thanksgiving day, but will re-open for regular business hours on Friday. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

The city of Konstanz has banned imperial flags during the demonstrations against the Corona measures recorded for the weekend. “Reich war flags, imperial flags and signs that have a clear reference to the time or the crimes of National Socialism and make a connection with the current corona pandemic” are not allowed, the city council and police announced Thursday. In addition, the city imposed strict hygiene requirements.
In the city of Baden-Württemberg, a total of 29 events have been registered for the weekend, with police estimating that between 20,000 and 30,000 participants are expected. The trigger for the large number of gatherings in the Southwest was the announcement of the lateral thinking initiative to hold the next nationwide demonstration on Lake Constance on Saturday.

Most of the events expected this weekend were not recorded by critics of the corona measures, a city spokesman said. The majority of them rather advocate topics such as solidarity, responsibility in times of the corona crisis and the fight against anti-Semitism.
At the end of August, right-wing extremists reached a staircase in the Reichstag building in Berlin during a corona demonstration and waved the flags of the German Empire in front of parliament. In the meantime, the federal state of Bremen has banned the flags in question and there is also talk of a national ban. (AFP)


text: Pulse oximetry is a valuable, noninvasive technique for assessing oxygen saturation that has gained wide clinical acceptance despite little available information concerning normal values in the newborn, especially at an altitude different than sea level. We performed serial pulse oximetry studies on 150 term, appropriate-weight-for-gestational-age, clinically healthy infants at an altitude of 1610 m (5280 ft) at 24 to 48 hours, 1 month, and 3 months of age to define a reference range for oxygen saturation as a guideline in clinical care. We found that mean oxygen saturation at 24 to 48 hours of age is 92% to 93% and varies little with infant activity. With increasing postnatal age, there is a tendency for increased oxygen saturation during the awake states to 93% to 94%, while oxygen saturation during sleep stays the same or even decreases slightly. The lower end of the reference range (2 SDs below the mean) is as low as 85% during feeding at 24 to 48 hours of age, and as low as 86% during quiet sleep at 1 and 3 months of age, with 88% to 89% the lower limit in other activities at all ages.

THE OMANHENE, chiefs and people of Benso, the traditional capital of the Wassa Fiase Traditional Area in the Western Region have kicked against surface mining.
While calling for deep mining, the people noted that surface mining did not only denigrate farming land and water bodies, but also brought about chemical pollution in the areas of operation.
They have consequently resolved to petition the appropriate authorities in respect of the surface mining, which they said, was rearing its ugly head in the area.
The Omanhene, his chiefs and people, made this known during a meeting of the traditional council at Benso recently.
The people also condemned the creation of an additional traditional council at Tarkwa, branding it as fake, under the chairmanship of Osagyefo Kwamina Eninil V, the Anglican Bishop-turned chief, who claimed to be Omanhene of the area.
According to the chiefs and people, this council was not only bogus, but illegal and improper as well.
They therefore warned the chiefs as well as institutions and individuals in the area, against dealing with this council and Osagyefo Eninil, saying, people who dealt with the council and its so-called Omanhene, did so at their own risk.
According to them, the only legitimate Omanhene in the traditional area was Odeneho Akrofa Krukokor II, and that Benso was the traditional capital.
At the meeting, the Wassa West District Assembly was criticised for doing little for the area, and the District Chief Executive reprimanded for failing to visit Benso his appointment as DCE seven years ago.
Furthermore, the people have decided to petition the appropriate authorities concerning the gloomy state of affairs in the area.
In a speech read by Safohene Nana Kwabena Agyabeng on behalf of Odeneho, he noted that the meeting had one vision of uniting the people and uplifting the image of Wassaman.
The speech pointed out that it had not been easy for followers of Odeneho throughout the chieftaincy litigation since 2002, from the lower court to the Supreme Court.
It also explained to the people that the Supreme Court order empowered the traditional council at Benso to hold its meeting without hindrance.
Also it made mention of another order from the Supreme Court which empowers the High Court in Kumasi to dispose of the merits of the Mandamus application that called for the re-instatement of Odeneho's name in the National Register of Chiefs.
Later in an interview with the press, Odeneho praised the chiefs and people for their patience all this while, and for rallying behind him.
He urged them to continue to be patient and press on with the unflinching support till victory is won. Odeneho pointed out that victory was in sight, considering occurrences recently.
The pacific-looking chief indicated that he was for peace, hence his plea to all to exercise restraint for the final outcome.
He noted that but for his boundless tolerance and patience, which he had been preaching all this while, the traditional area would be war-torn by now.
On April 19, 2002, a Sekondi High Court convicted and sentenced Odeneho to 14 days' imprisonment for contempt of court.
According to the court, this sentence amounted to customary destoolment.
Nonetheless, on April 23, 2002, Osagyefo was enstooled chief in his stead, and on September 25, 2002, his name inserted in the National Register of Chiefs in place of Odeneho's.
However, from October 1, 2002, Odeneho began a campaign to have his name re-instated in the register.

(Bloomberg) – AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. have rejected a U.S. request to delay the launch this week of a new variant of the 5G mobile service that airlines say could interfere with the electronics of the airplane, posing a safety hazard.
Bloomberg’s Most Read
But the CEOs of the two telecom giants also said in a joint letter on Sunday that they would be ready to commit to a six-month hiatus from deployment near certain airports that will be selected during negotiations with U.S. officials and the aviation industry.
The US demand targets measures that would be “to the detriment of our millions of consumers, businesses and government customers,” Verizon chief executive Hans Vestberg and John Stankey of AT&T wrote to the Transportation Secretary. Pete Buttigieg and Steve Dickson, administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration. .
In a letter Friday, U.S. officials asked wireless service providers to delay the scheduled start of the new service on Jan.5. Officials predict a possible “widespread and unacceptable disruption” to air traffic, as planes avoid airports bathed in 5G signals that could affect electronics used during landings.
Operators have made the deployment of 5G a priority, citing a race with China to deliver high-speed mobile broadband and growing demand for wireless services amid the Covid pandemic.
“Your proposed framework calls for our agreement to transfer oversight of our companies’ multibillion-dollar investments in 50 unnamed metropolitan areas representing the lion’s share of the US population to the FAA for an indefinite number of months or days. ‘years,’ wrote Vestberg and Stankey. . “Worse yet, the proposal is only for two companies. “
Wireless executives said accepting the proposal would be “an irresponsible abdication of the operational control required to deploy world-class and globally competitive communications networks.”
The new 5G signals would use a set of waves made available to mobile communications providers. The frequencies are close to those used by radar altimeters. Aviation interests have said this creates a risk of interference that could make some landings unsafe.
The wireless industry has said that the power levels are low enough to prevent interference and that the frequency gap is large enough to ensure safety.
Previously, AT&T and Verizon had agreed to reduce the strength of their 5G signals and put in place a 30-day deadline, moving the start of service from December to January 5.
FAA and DOT officials are reviewing the companies’ response and “US aviation safety standards will guide our next actions,” the FAA said in an emailed statement.
The FAA, an arm of the United Nations and industry groups have raised concerns about the use of radio waves since 2015, the U.S. aviation regulator said.
In Sunday’s letter, AT&T and Verizon executives said if aviation interests do not step up their campaign against the new signals, they will pledge not to deploy towers near certain airports during six months. The offer is modeled on the exclusion zones of airports in France, where the 5G service operates on similar frequencies and where American airliners have landed.
Leaders of the wireless network have said they are “committed to continuing” cooperation with transport interests “on condition that the FAA and the aviation industry agree to do the same without escalating their grievances, as unfounded as they are, in other places “.
While it is not clear how aerospace groups will react to the counter-offer from mobile phone companies, some type of restriction on 5G service near runways could limit the impacts and give industry groups and regulators more power. time to study the interference potential.
Aviation groups have argued that power levels and frequencies approved in other countries, including France, are not comparable to those in the United States.
The Airlines for America trade group, in an emergency petition last week, asked the Federal Communications Commission to delay the planned 5G deployment. The CTIA trade group which represents the wireless interests told the FCC to deny the request.
“We are optimistic that by working together we can both advance the wireless economy and ensure aviation safety,” an FCC spokesperson said in an email Sunday.
US transportation officials, in their letter on Friday, called for a “no more than two weeks” delay. Meanwhile, the FAA and the aviation industry will identify airports where a buffer zone would allow flights to continue safely.
In addition to the two-week delay, transport officials have asked companies to suspend the new service near “priority airports”. The service could be activated near these airports on an ongoing basis until March, they proposed.
That way, most 5G customers could use the new service, but critical leads would be protected, they said. The FAA has said it is trying to identify which airports it considers high priority and will seek to identify mitigation measures that will allow most large commercial aircraft to operate safely.
The stakes are high for both industries. The wireless industry paid $ 81 billion in auction for access to the frequencies in question, and AT&T and Verizon will be relying on them for network upgrades to compete with T-Mobile US Inc. by providing the next generation of fast mobile broadband.
In a Dec. 30 petition asking for a delay, the airlines said they could lose more than $ 1 billion if they couldn’t properly operate their planes due to interference issues, while disrupting plans to million passengers.
