Objective: To test the hypothesis that hopeful patterns of thoughts and emotions of parents of pediatric patients receiving palliative care consultative services are related to subsequent decisions, specifically regarding limit of intervention (LOI) orders.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Setting: Children's hospital and surrounding region.
Participants: Thirty-three pediatric patients receiving palliative care consultative services who did not have LOI orders at time of cohort entry and their 43 parental adults.
Main exposures: Parental levels at time of cohort entry of hopeful patterns of thinking and emotions, in conjunction with perceptions about patients' health trajectories.
Main outcome measure: Enactment of an LOI order after entry into the cohort.
Results: During the 6 months of observation, 14 patients (42.4%) had an LOI order enacted. In adjusted analyses, higher levels of parental hopeful patterns of thinking were significantly associated with increased odds of enactment of an LOI order (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 2.73; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04-7.22). Increased odds of LOI enactment were associated to nonsignificant degrees with lower levels of parental positive affect (AOR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.17-1.12), higher levels of parental negative affect (AOR, 2.02; 95% CI, 0.98-4.16), and parental perceptions of worsening health over time (AOR, 1.72; 95% CI, 0.73-4.07).
Conclusion: For pediatric patients receiving palliative care consultative services, higher levels of parents' hopeful patterns of thinking are associated with subsequent enactment of LOI orders, suggesting that emotional and cognitive processes have a combined effect on medical decision making.

Lt. Gov. Ray Tenorio skips ‘gun grabbing’ court appearance
A large contingent of Guam media staked out the second floor of the courthouse early, anticipating the sight of Guam’s currently acting governor facing criminal charges in the July 7 incident.
But the man behind the defendant table when the appearance got underway wasn’t the lt. governor, but his attorney, Tom Fisher, who had filed a legal waiver of appearance a couple of hours before the scheduled court session, with Judge Benjamin C. Sison Jr. on the bench.
Judge Sison set Tenorio's trial for March 13, 2019. Shortly after the hearing, Tenorio, who begged off a personal court appearance based on the pressing needs of post-Typhoon Mangkhut Guam, satisfied one court requirement by reporting to the local probation office, where his picture was taken and to which he’ll have to report monthly by phone.
He will also have to have his fingerprints taken and fill out required forms at the police station.
At the hearing, Fisher entered a plea of not guilty to all charges on Tenorio's behalf. Tenorio waived his right to a speedy trial, Fisher said.
A total of four charges against Tenorio include reckless conduct, obstructing government function and official misconduct, all treated as misdemeanors, rather than as felonies.
At the arraignment, Chief Prosecutor Joseph McDonald said Assistant Deputy Attorney General James Collins, who was off island, will prosecute the case.
McDonald asked the judge to order Tenorio to stay away from guns and alcohol given the nature of the case, but Attorney Fisher objected to the alcohol portion, saying that alcohol or intoxication were not part of the charges, though Tenorio has admitted to consuming two or three beers before attempting to educate Police Sergeant Carl Cruz on how to secure his loaded service weapon by yanking it out of his holster. In an official report quoted in court documents, Cruz said he took back the weapon and that Tenorio ‘reeked’ of alcohol.
Judge Sison declined to put Tenorio on the wagon pending the trial. He did order Tenorio to stay away from Sgt. Cruz and other potential witnesses to the incident. Attorney Fisher described local media coverage of the alcohol aspect of the ‘gun grabbing’ incident as “purplish,” suggesting the media has exaggerated it.

Adrianna Crapper , 3rd period
Who is the inventor?? How does the invention work??
An English weaver in Standhill, England and was the first person to successfully build a machine to spin many threads at a time. No there was not another inventor that made improvments.
It was operated by a foot pedal, cotton fibers were drawn out, then tjhe fibers were then twisted lighty andspun onto eioght seperate spindles.
What is purpose of the invention?? Where did the invention occur??
The purpose was because they neededa machine to increase the spinners productivity. Usually the spinners would trade off with one another but with this machine it wouldn't take solongand wouldn't be as tiring as doing it by hand.
The invention occured in Standhill, England.

Farm Power is one of those few companies where the name tells it all: The company turns cow manure into electricity.
In fact, co-founder and President Kevin Maas said he doesn’t consider Mount Vernon-based Farm Power a tech company.
“We don’t invent solar panels or wind turbines,” he said. “We’re not building software. We’ve just got a model that makes it economical to put in (manure digesting systems).”
Instead of a farm spending its own money to purchase a digester, Farm Power gets local farmers to pump their cow manure to a centrally located digester Farm Power owns and operates. The farms get back processed manure that is cleaner and easier to use as fertilizer, and also get a compact bedding that is better for the cows than sawdust. Farm Power sells the power it generates by processing methane with the digester back to the power company, and it goes into the grid for anyone to use.
“Our multi-farm projects have reduced the risk enough that bankers approve it,” Maas said.
In addition to finding success in early rounds of financing with angel investors five years ago, the company did a direct public offering last year and raised $750,000. That money helped it install two more digesters in the Tillamook area in Oregon. One opened in April; the other is just beginning construction.
Maas admits manure processing was an odd thing to get into.
“I’m not a farmer. I’ve never milked a cow,” he said.
But he understands the value of having cows in Western Washington and Oregon.
“A cow is a year-round contributor to an agricultural economy. Those cows are being milked, fed, being taken care of year-round,” he said.
Maas said that if the federal government ever decided to support manure-based power, the country’s farms could supply 1 percent or 2 percent of the country’s power needs.
“That’s 10 nuclear power plants working full out,” he said. “That’s the same as all the wind energy in the country.”
But manure digesters are getting more difficult to built and support as federal stimulus incentives disappear. When that’s combined with the fall in power prices, it means digesters are a harder sell.
“But with digesters, you do more than one thing. Unlike a solar project, where you put a panel on the ground and it generates power, a digester creates cleaner manure, bedding product and the extra heat, which we can use to heat a greenhouse,” Maas said. “We’re also destroying methane that would otherwise be seeping out from lagoons.”
Plus, he said, the digesters support the struggling dairy industry, which needs all the help it can get.

Why Use Epoxy Primer?
Q. I am a development engineer in my plant. I was recently assigned to take charge of the finishing operations. Included in my duties is the responsibility for specifying which paints we use on our products. As soon as I took over I was asked a question I couldn’t answer.
We have been applying a two-package epoxy primer and then a polyurethane topcoat to our products. I was asked by management why we were using an epoxy primer and not a polyurethane primer. The answer: “We have always done that,” was not good enough. They want a technical reason. Apparently the purchasing department has gotten into the act also. They want to know why we are not using a polyurethane primer. Apparently the primer and topcoat come from different suppliers. Buying both from one supplier would give us a price advantage. P.C.
A. The short answer is you use a two-component epoxy primer in a finish system rather than a polyurethane primer because of its superior adhesion. Furthermore, lab and field testing has shown that two-component epoxy primers provide a greater degree of corrosion protection to metals owing to their superior adhesion.
However, I recently attended a seminar where a chemist showed laboratory data indicating certain polyurethane primers exhibited superior adhesion. But this is experimental data, not information on a commercial product data sheet. Again, tell your management folks that you are using the two-component epoxy because it has superior adhesion and provides superior corrosion resistance for your products.

1 fillet fresh salmon
1/2 cup of basil pesto
500g of cherry tomato
1 Tbspn olive oil
2 cups broccoli
1. Pre-heat oven on fan-forced 180 degrees Celsius. Spray a cooking tray with oil and place salmon on the tray. Cook salmon for 15 minutes or until cooked all the way through. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Drain.
2. Put the olive oil in a frying pan and heat for 2 minutes on a moderate heat. Add cherry tomatoes, and continue cooking until tomatoes start to burst - remember to stir occasionally!
3. Heat a pot of water until boiling. Add broccoli and turn down heat. Cook broccoli for approximately 3-5 minutes, so broccoli is cooked but still a little crunchy. Drain water.
4. Add pasta to the broccoli, stir in basil pesto.
5. Break salmon into large chunks and add to pasta, stir through gently.
6. Plate pasta and add tomatoes. Top with a small amount of Parmesan cheese if desired.

São Paulo promoted sustainable farming and tackled inequality.
THIS PROJECT CAN HELP YOU ADDRESS:
• Environmental degradation and uncontrolled development of rural areas
• Farmers lack the tools needed to improve production, leaving them economically vulnerable and marginalized
• Weak local agricultural value chain prevents connections between farmers and markets, making it hard for farmers to sell produce.
Although 70 percent of the produce consumed in Brazil comes from family farms, urban sprawl makes it difficult for farmers on the outskirts of São Paulo to sell their produce. Discouraged, many farmers are leaving farming altogether—often selling their land for development, compounding the problem for other farmers and aggravating environmental problems that impact the water supply for 5 million people.
São Paulo’s project - Connect the Dots - is designed to strengthen the local agriculture value chain. At one end, it aims to improve production by empowering local farmers through technical assistance and capacity building. This allows farmers to adopt agroecological farming practices that will increase their revenue and protect vital watershed areas. At the other end of the chain, the project encourages entrepreneurs to start businesses that support farmers participation in the value chain.
São Paulo aims to contain the City’s urban sprawl while promoting the sustainable use of rural land. They are training farmers to improve their production processes and raise their income, supporting local cooperatives that connect supply and demand in the agricultural market, and creating a digital application to facilitate these processes.
- 160 small, rural farmers receiving technical assistance needed to increase their transition to organic production by 70%
- 536 rural properties registered and publicly mapped by the Connect the Dots program
- 2,000 Connect the Dots farmers, restaurants, supermarkets and individual consumers using a website aimed at helping farmers increasing their sales and helping consumers find organic produce.
- 66% increase in farmer's desire to remain in rural areas

Are you enjoying Smith? Too bad! CBS has decided to shelve it. The Ray Liotta drama has been doing so-so in the ratings, and it looks like CBS doesn't want to take any more chances with it.
There's no official word on the move yet, but expect something official later today. In fact, check out the web site. There are still some links to get to the show's page, but it's gone from both drop down menus!
As I mentioned in my reviews, the show has started to go downhill from an intriguing pilot. Maybe CBS saw something in the upcoming episodes that said, "hey, let's dump this for now and put something else on"?
Update: Yup, it's gone.

I just watched the second episode of your show, and while I think it's still good, I'm starting to fall out of love with it. Have you ever had that feeling?
Maybe it's not you, it's me. But I'm pretty sure it's you.

Experiencing different cultures expands the mind and opens the heart. Whether the cultures are as starkly different as rural South Texas and urban Beijing or as similar as Dallas and Little Rock, the cultural distinctions educate, inform, and change a person—if she is open to change. The shifts in mindset brought about by exposure to different ways of thinking or ways of looking at the world can lead to transformational insights. But unless one intentionally keeps chauvinistic attitudes in check—and unless he reins in in his parochialism—absorbing the lifestyles and ideas of unfamiliar places in the world can simply amplify a person’s ethnocentric zealotry.
I often wonder whether the difference between people who revel, versus those who recoil, at experiencing difference cultures are intrinsic to their nature. Or is insularity the result of subtle—or not so subtle—guidance during their development? In my case, I think the magnetic appeal of cultural differences was innate, but somewhat stifled, as a child. My interest was awakened during my youth, seeing and hearing and tasting the differences between the Anglo culture then prevalent in South Texas and the growing Mexican and Hispanic cultures that have since become predominant there. But my curiosity about and appreciation of cultural differences mushrooming during my years in Austin as a student at the University of Texas. The diversity of the student population was an important component of my growing interest in different cultures. The deeper exploration of culture to which I was exposed through sociology classes and the associated reading was even more crucial, I think. Sociology completed the initial phases of my transformation. Moving to semi-rural, small-town East Texas furthered the metamorphosis. The change in me continued when I moved to Houston, where I lived for eight years at the fringes of a cultural melting pot. Then, four years in Chicago and almost a year in and around White Plains, New York and Greenwich, Connecticut, helped solidify my appreciation for both subtle and in-your-face cultural differences.
While I think my eyes have been opened by exposure to different cultures, I suspect my oldest brother’s expansive world-view must be dramatically more advanced than mine. He has lived in India, Algeria, French-speaking Quebec, Ohio, the Bay area of California, Texas, Mexico…and on and on. And he is far more well-traveled than I. My world travels, mostly on business, exposed me to brief snippets of cultural surprises. His more extended experiences in various places around the world must have given him far greater insights than my short visits. Though living in different cultures is probably the most impactful way of enhancing one’s understanding and appreciation of different cultures, I think reading and watching non-fiction explorations of different cultures can be nearly as effective—providing, of course, one is open to challenges to one’s unsophisticated, small-minded mindset.
Despite my appreciation of different cultures, I am not blind to the faults and ugly flaws inherent in some of them. Often, I think, small-minded people judge as gullible (or easily misled) those who are more broad-minded. Moreover, they assume more open-minded are entirely uncritical of other cultures and are “taken-in” by them. That assumption, and more like it, tends to supplant insights about the positive aspects of different cultures. That’s my opinion. Almost everything I’ve written here is opinion; it should be taken with a grain of salt—which can either enhance the flavor or hide it entirely. 😉
Today is Monday. The beginning of the “work week” for some. The continuation of a predictable set of rotating moments for others. And the commencement of an opportunity to begin life anew for still others. I choose—just for this moment—to look at this day as that incredible opportunity. A new life! A new way of thinking about the world! A new chance to correct mistakes or rethink my definition of what is “correct” and what is “wrong.” I hope this attitude lasts. The part of my life I’ve lived thus far is much longer than what is left to live; I suddenly feel an urgency to more acutely experience every second available to me. Time to light another cone of incense; lately, I have replaced patchouli with sangre de dragon, dragon’s blood. They both are quite nice; they help hone my appreciation for life in general, and my olfactory capabilities, in particular.
Smile at someone who looks like they need it. Even if that someone is looking at you in the mirror.

MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX (MHC)
Human histocompatibility antigens are also known as human leucocyte antigens (HLA), a term that are synonymous with the MHC complex. These antigens are cell surface glycoproteins classified as type I and type II. They can produce genetic polymorphism with multiple alleles at each site, thus permitting a great deal of genetic variability between given individuals. This extensive polymorphism is important when viewed in the context of an immune system that needs to cope with an ever-increasing range of pathogens. These pathogens in turn are extremely adept at evading the immune system. Thus, the battle between invading microbe and immune recognition is constant and ever changing. Recognition of antigen by T cells is MHC restricted. Therefore, any given individual is only able to recognize antigen as part of a complex of antigenic peptide and self.


Firefighters were kept busy Wednesday afternoon as reports of two vehicle fires within minutes of each other closed major roads at Tarro and Morisset.
NSW Fire and Rescue crews from East Maitland and Tarro were called to a burning motor home on the New England Highway near Quarter Sessions Road at Tarro around 12.46pm.
The road was closed as firefighters battled the dramatic blaze that engulfed and completely destroyed the vehicle.
A woman and dog, the sole occupants of the vehicle, managed to escape the van uninjured before emergency crews arrived, a spokesperson for NSW Fire and Rescue said.
The NSW Transport Management Centre monitored heavy traffic in the area until the road was re-opened around 2pm.
Meanwhile, to the south, southbound lanes of the Pacific Motorway at Mandalong Road were closed after a steel truck caught fire around 12.50pm.
Firefighters, with assistance from HAZMAT crews and the Rural Fire Service, donned breathing apparatus to battle the fire and remove fuel from the truck's tanks, the NSW Fire and Rescue spokesperson said, while monitoring run-off to ensure there was no contamination of surrounding waterways.
The fire, which briefly caught onto grass in the nearby median strip, was quickly extinguished and the truck was towed from the scene around 4.30pm, but traffic remained heavy in the area. There were no reports of injury.

The diagnostic ability of optical spectroscopy techniques, including near-infrared (NIR) Raman spectroscopy, NIR autofluorescence spectroscopy and the composite Raman and NIR autofluorescence spectroscopy, for in vivo detection of malignant tumors was evaluated in this study. A murine tumor model, in which BALB/c mice were implanted with Meth-A fibrosarcoma cells into the subcutaneous region of the lower back, was used for this purpose. A rapid-acquisition dispersive-type NIR Raman system was employed for tissue Raman and NIR autofluorescence spectroscopic measurements at 785-nm laser excitation. High-quality in vivo NIR Raman spectra associated with an autofluorescence background from mouse skin and tumor tissue were acquired in 5 s. Multivariate statistical techniques, including principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA), were used to develop diagnostic algorithms for differentiating tumors from normal tissue based on their spectral features. Spectral classification of tumor tissue was tested using a leave-one-out, cross-validation method, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to further evaluate the performance of diagnostic algorithms derived. Thirty-two in vivo Raman, NIR fluorescence and composite Raman and NIR fluorescence spectra were analyzed (16 normal, 16 tumors). Classification results obtained from cross-validation of the LDA model based on the three spectral data sets showed diagnostic sensitivities of 81.3%, 93.8% and 93.8%; specificities of 100%, 87.5% and 100%; and overall diagnostic accuracies of 90.6%, 90.6% and 96.9% respectively, for tumor identification. ROC curves showed that the most effective diagnostic algorithms were from the composite Raman and NIR autofluorescence techniques.

By Ryan Batty:
For the second time in club history, Nantwich Town prepare to play in the First Round Proper of the FA Cup as they face Stevenage tomorrow afternoon. The last time The Dabbers were in the First Round, they came up short with a 6-0 defeat to MK Dons away from home. However, with Stevenage in an up-and-down form, and Nantwich performing well in the cup, Dave Cooke’s men have every chance of coming away with a good result to take back to Cheshire.
Stevenage vs Nantwich Town
FA Cup 1st Round Proper
The Lamex Stadium, Stevenage
4th November 2017, 3.00pm
Adults – £22
Concessions – £20
16-21 – £12
U16s – £10
U12 – £8
Last Time Out
Despite a promising first half, a sending off for The Dabbers left them with too much to do in the FA Trophy against Rushall Olympic last weekend. The men in green were probably the better side throughout the first half, but skipper Sam Hall’s controversial red card led to the first goal, as Rushall man Joe Hull headed past Jaaskelainen on the verge of half-time. A penalty was awarded to Rushall with just under fifteen minutes to go, which Richard Brodie powered in, despite Jaaskelainen guessing right.
Stevenage currently sit in eleventh in League 2 and are three points from the playoffs in the English fourth tier, but have only picked up six points from their last six games, and are currently winless in their last two games.
The Manager – Darren Sarll
Darren Sarll joined the Stevenage management team in 2015 to coach under then-manager Teddy Sheringham’s regime. He had held the role of Head of Youth since 2012. After Sheringham’s departure in February 2016, he was in interim charge until the end of the season, before being promoted to a permanent role. As a player, Sarll played in midfield in the non-league system, appearing for the likes of Bedford Town, St Albans City and Dunstable Town, among others.
Key Man – Danny Newton
Danny Newton joined the club in the summer, and is the club’s top league scorer with six goals. The forward has scored five goals with the left foot, and one with his right foot. The twenty-six-year-old has appeared for Nuneaton and Tamworth and has made a name playing in the non-league system. Furthermore, Dabbers fans may remember him as he spent time at Barwell back in 2013, making a firm impression after scoring fourteen goals in nineteen games.
Nantwich have plenty of FA Cup history dating back over a century. The club first entered the competition back in the 1888-89 campaign where they won 7-1 in the first qualifying round, before a 12-0 loss to Chirk eliminated them. Over the next century, The Dabbers came up against the likes of Crewe Alex and Port Vale, before Nantwich made some FA Cup history.
In 1995-96, in a qualifying round tie against Droylsden, local school teacher Andy Locke came off the bench and scored a hat-trick in two minutes and twenty seconds. It remains the quickest hat-trick scored in 146 years of FA Cup football.
The last time Nantwich made the first round was back in 2011-12 as Jimmy Quinn guided The Dabbers to an away tie against high-flying MK Dons, but unfortunately, weren’t able to upset the strong Dons side. Interestingly, Sean Cooke was on the pitch at stadium.mk that day, and is the only member of the current squad who featured back in 2011.« Back to all news

A new space race is brewing between the United States and China, but the rigors of space exploration make it tough for either country to go it alone.
The objective of having humans living and working on other planets within the next decade is ambitious, but it may not be feasible due to limited international collaboration and expensive expenses. Because of its high cost and unclear timeframe, NASA’s Artemis program, which hopes to use the moon as a stepping stone for trips to Mars, has been regarded with skepticism.
Meanwhile, China’s space program has made great progress, including the launch of probes to the Moon and Mars, as well as ambitions to erect an unmanned research outpost on the Moon by 2025 and put people on its surface by 2030.
While sending astronauts to the Moon has been accomplished, the next step of reaching Mars is a far greater challenge. Mars is 250 times farther away than the Moon and currently, there is no available spacecraft that can transport humans to the planet. Even if a way is found to launch a heavy rocket and land it on a planet with a weak atmosphere, the task of bringing the astronauts back to Earth after spending several months in space is an additional challenge.
Superpowers have traditionally competed for dominance in space, with America and Russia battling for supremacy in the 1950s and 1960s. The Russians were the first to send a man into orbit, while the Americans were the first to land a man on the Moon. However, in the 1970s, a period of cooperation emerged, leading to the construction of the International Space Station (ISS) in 1998. The ISS, which is the largest structure in space, was built in partnership with 13 other nations and is not owned by any single country, with each nation dependent on the others for its operation.
The ISS represented what could be accomplished when nations put aside their differences and collaborate. However, the reality was not entirely harmonious. America notably blocked China from becoming a partner in the ISS, leading China to pursue its own space program. Recently, nations have cut ties with Russia following the invasion of Ukraine, resulting in the cancellation of joint Moon missions between the European Space Agency (ESA) and Russia, as well as a joint Mars Rover project to search for evidence of life on the planet.
Despite tensions between nations, collaboration still exists on the ISS where Western countries have to work with Russia to keep it operational. Americans and Europeans continue to train at Russia’s Space HQ, Star City in Moscow. However, with the ISS set to reach the end of its lifespan in 2030, Russia’s future in space is uncertain. According to a space policy analyst, Russia’s technology is outdated and it may struggle to find alternative partnerships or develop its own space station, especially in light of current sanctions. This comes at a time when China’s space program is rapidly advancing, with more than 200 rocket launches in the last decade and an increased willingness to partner with other nations to share technical knowledge and funding.
As space exploration becomes increasingly important and competitive, 72 countries have developed their own space programs to keep up with the new space race.
The billionaire Astronauts
Satellites play a crucial role in daily life, providing weather predictions, communication, financial transactions, and surveillance capabilities for nations. The number of satellites being launched has also increased dramatically, with around 5,000 satellites launched in 2021 compared to 800 annually 20 years ago.
Space exploration is a costly and challenging endeavor that cannot be undertaken by any one country alone. New partnerships are forming, particularly with wealthy entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which is already transporting passengers into orbit, and Jeff Bezos’ plan to create a commercial orbiting station called Orbital Reef. Helen Sharman, the UK’s first astronaut, suggests that the practicality of the private sector could surpass current international rivalries. She states that commercialization will bring companies together globally, regardless of their location, as long as they contribute positively to the world.
The drive for financial gain and scientific discovery promotes collaboration, but private companies must still abide by the laws of their home country. When nations imposed sanctions on Russia in 2022, companies were forced to terminate contracts with Russia. Dr. Josef Aschbacher, head of the European Space Agency, aims to keep Europe competitive in the new space race and has recently secured a £2bn ($2.4bn) increase in funding, despite financial constraints faced by governments. He stressed the importance of participating strongly in the sector to create new business opportunities for European companies, as the space industry is growing rapidly and Europe cannot afford to fall behind.
Nations will continue to lead space research in the future, but to exchange knowledge and compete with other groupings, they will need to work as a cohesive group or “bloc” of countries. For many years, the European Space Agency has been doing this successfully.
New rules for space
A major obstacle to future space exploration is the outdated international laws governing space, specifically the Outer Space Treaty which was established in 1967 by 31 nations, including the US and Soviet Union, and has not been updated since. The treaty pledges not to have nuclear weapons in space, but it does not cover commercial companies or billionaires, as space exploration and commercialization have changed significantly since 1967. According to Juliana Suess of the Royal United Services Institute, the treaty is no longer adequate for current space activities.
The Outer Space Treaty, which was formed in 1967 by 31 nations, including the United States and the Soviet Union, and has not been amended since, is a major impediment to future space research. The pact commits to avoid nuclear weapons in space, although it excludes commercial firms or billionaires because space exploration and commerce have evolved greatly since 1967. The treaty is no longer appropriate for modern space operations, according to Juliana Suess of the Royal United Services Institute.
The United Nations offered new restrictions for the commercial use of the Moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies in 1979, but the United States, China, and Russia refused to sign. The European Space Agency’s head, Dr. Josef Aschbacher, feels that progress in the current space race will be hampered until a new Outer Space Treaty is adopted. He emphasizes that because all nations use the same orbits for satellites and the same Moon surfaces, it is critical to create a cooperative mechanism and set rules of engagement to operate together in space.

Q: What are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced in your 25 years a priest?
A: On May 18 of this year I will be celebrating 25 years as a priest. For the most part it has been a great joy to serve God and to serve the church of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. I was richly blessed to have worked in excellent assignments and to have worked with wonderful people. But just as in all things in life, there have been challenges along the way.
When I was first ordained in the 1990s, the clergy sexual abuse scandal was just beginning to gain attention in the media. I remember Channel 6 news coming to St. Alphonsus in Greendale, my first assignment, and interviewing the priests, asking for our opinion on the scandal. That was a great challenge because all priests were suddenly being viewed with the questions of guilt before innocence.
FR. JERRY HERDA CELEBRATES 25 YEARS
Fr. Jerry Herda, pastor at St. Monica Parish in Whitefish Bay and St. Eugene Parish in Fox Point, joked with his family years ago that if he never made it to Hawaii by his 25th anniversary as a priest, he would go.
During that time I was even reluctant to wear my priest collar out into public for fear of being chastised by strangers who only saw me as “one of those priests.” For the vast majority of priests who have tried to live lives of holiness, this was a cross to carry.
Another challenge has been to see the decline of involvement in the faith in the lives of so many Catholics. During the past 25 years, there has been a steady decline in Catholics receiving the sacraments, a decline in Sunday Mass attendance, a decline in the number of Catholic weddings, a decline in the number of people receiving the sacrament of reconciliation; the list could go on and on.
The Catholic Church is no longer the center of people’s lives. When I was first ordained, the parish was scheduling three weddings each Saturday during the summer; during Advent of my first year, I presided at a penance service with over 1,000 people in attendance; at that time our grade school had a waiting list.
Times have changed. In our society, God is no longer a priority. Sunday morning has moved from being the time to attend church to a time of involvement with other activities, such as sporting events, or runs/walks to raise money for worthy causes.
The Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee is waking up to this realization and realizing that we need to overcome these challenges. The work of evangelization is crucial to who we are as a church. There is hope, for as people of faith we know that light always wins out over darkness.
But we can’t just sit back and do nothing. As a priest faced with the reality that clergy abuse did take place, I had a choice: go into hiding or try to live a life of holiness and integrity. As a church faced with the reality of declining numbers, we have a choice to do nothing or to do as Jesus did and tell the Good News. God will help us through all our challenges; he certainly has been with me on my 25-year journey of priesthood.
Q: From your experience, what are the best ways my parish can be more welcoming of and reach out to people who identify themselves as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, etc.?
A: What would Jesus do? Anytime we are faced with a difficult situation, it is good to look at Scripture. In the Gospels we hear that Jesus interacted with all sorts of people; he welcomed sinners, he associated with the tax collectors and prostitutes, he invited those who were uneducated, simple fishermen, to be his disciples. He didn’t shy away from those who may seem different from others in society; he welcomed and embraced them.
So the first thing your parish can do is to be more welcoming to all people. No one should ever feel isolated, no one should ever feel they do not belong. In the Catholic Church all are welcome. In the assembly of any given church you will find people of different ethnic backgrounds, economic levels, educational levels, and sexual orientation — all sitting side by side, all participating in the liturgy and all being the Body of Christ.
At the same time, when Jesus welcomed sinners, he also challenged them to turn away from sin and to be his followers. We all need to hear that message. My hope would be that anyone struggling with his/her sexual orientation would be welcomed to talk to the priest or another staff person at his/her parish about those struggles.
As we know, that has not always been the case. Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle of Manila, Philippines, recently gave an address in London in which he said “it was clear that the tone taken toward gay people, divorcees who remarried against Catholic teaching and unmarried mothers had left many feeling ‘branded’ and socially ostracized … the harsh words used in the past to refer to gays and divorced and separated people, the unwed mothers etc., in the past were quite severe.… Many people who belonged to those groups were branded and that led to their isolation from the wider society.”
No one should feel ostracized. During my time as a priest, I have met with a number of individuals who have struggled to find their place in the church because of their sexual orientation; they weren’t sure they belonged. All people want to be loved – loved by God and loved by others. God loves each and every one of us, for we are all children of God
Pope Francis recently announced an extraordinary Holy Year of Mercy, Dec. 8, 2015 – Nov. 20, 2016. In his announcement he stated, “I am convinced that the whole church — which has much need to receive mercy, because we are sinners — will find in this jubilee the joy to rediscover and render fruitful the mercy of God, with which we are all called to give consolation to every man and woman of our time.”
The best way to welcome others is with mercy.

New Car Quick Quote
Ford has a long and rich history of creating work vehicles that are powerful and tough. In 2015, it continued this tradition with the introduction of the Ford Transit van. Not to be confused with another of Ford's workhorses, the Transit Connect, the Ford Transit 250 van was created as an alternative to the E-250 cargo van, offering a thoroughly modern cabin, lighter body frame, and greatly improved fuel economy.
The Transit 250 can be configured with one of three engine choices: a 3.7-liter V6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 or a 3.2-liter Powerstroke I-5 diesel. Unlike its predecessor the E-Series or other traditional American vans, the Transit 250 offers a driving experience more similar to a crossover than a utility truck, with improved seating, a brighter and roomier cabin, and more modern tech and comfort features. Combined with its impressive fuel economy, the Transit 250 is a top choice in the full-size van segment.

Following the panel I moderated at the Telx financial service event, they shuttled us all upstairs to talk to TMCnet. Here is the interview:
High frequency traders are not the only ones trying to get faster. The last few years have seen exchanges enter an arms race for speed that rivals the most sophisticated trading shops in the world. The focus on reducing latency and increasing bandwidth is so extreme that we are watching the definition of “Exchange” transform right before our eyes. Not because physical trading floors in city centers have been replaced with massive data centers in out of the way industrial areas, but because the exchange business model has fundamentally changed from one that is transaction based to one that is technology driven.
The reasons why are quite simple. Execution fees have been driven down by competition largely brought on by field-leveling regulations (read Reg NMS and MiFID) enabling competition and in turn making technology the real differentiator. The exchanges are desperate to both retain and attract more liquidity, but with execution fees often below zero and market monopolies consigned to history only a serious investment in technology will ensure life throughout the next decade. And investments in technology are certainly being made.
I moderated a recent event put on by Telx discussing the challenges faced by financial services firms when creating low latency, highly reliable infrastructures. The event saw ~150 people come out to Telx’s new data center in Clifton, NJ to see what I felt was a pretty interesting panel. We also learned Telx is in the process of filing for an IPO.
But that could change dramatically if financial regulators took a more active role, he said. “If the SEC, CFTC or the proper regulatory body looked at certain cloud environments and was able to certify that they were secure enough for customer data, then we would see a whole new industry within the cloud computing world of financial services-targeted firms, that would be registered with regulators and clients could be assured that their data was secure,” says McPartland. “We think this could be a huge improvement for the industry.”
“From a sell side perspective, it means that those guys–major data center providers such as Equinix and Savvis– should look to expand current client footprints as the sell side looks to reduce server scatter (when firms use space in a variety of geographic locations),” McPartland explained to Securities Idustry News. “So if a major dealer is using three separate data center providers, they’ll look to use only one. Whoever wins that deal will see spending by that dealer grow significantly as they consolidate under one roof.”
So, the sell side will continue to invest in infrastructure to grow capacity as the market demand for trading U.S. equities grows, but McPartland predicts it will look for smarter ways to do this and that growth will be smaller in 2010 than in the past.
McPartland argues that because a completely virtualised and highly utilised infrastructure is still years away for sell-side equities technology, a large gap exists between what is currently possible and actually done. In that same vein, cloud computing will be a part of equity IT strategies in the future but security concerns leave it more interesting than useful.
In conclusion, he says: “Operating data centres, servers and networks with the utmost efficiency will not be a trend but the only way to do business. In 2010, the winning brokers will be those that not only have the latest and greatest technology, but can manage it most efficiently.”

The study focuses on US equity infrastructures and is based on conversations with CIOs, CTOs, and heads of technology at 24 sell side firms. Bulge bracket firms accounted for one quarter of total participants, however this equates to two thirds of all bulge bracket firms. The discussions covered usage and trends related to data centers, servers, CPUs, operating systems, networking, hardware acceleration, virtualization, cloud computing and IT organizational structure. Also discussed were top infrastructure projects, expansion plans for 2010, methods for expanding while under budget constraints and decision making factors when purchasing new technology.

ICM Partners has acquired a majority interest in the indie speakers agency Royce Carlton Inc., ICM managing director Chris Silbermann and Royce Carlton CEO Carlton Sedgeley announced Tuesday.
The combined ICM Partners lectures group will operate as Royce Carlton from their current headquarters in Manhattan and ICM Partners headquarters in Los Angeles. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The agency will be run by Jonathan Perelman, ICM Partners’ head of digital ventures and lectures, along with Sedgeley and EVP Lucy Lepage Sedgeley.
The deal is the second agency acquired by ICM Partners this year, following its acquisition of Headline Media Management in March.
The two agencies have shared prestigious clients over the years, including Thomas Friedman, Ken Auletta and Alan Alda.
Royce Carlton, which was founded in 1968 by Carlton Sedgeley and Lucy Lepage (Sedgeley), exclusively represents such sought-after speakers as Mitch Albom, Fareed Zakaria, Anne-Marie Slaughter and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power.
“The Royce Carlton agency is the definition of sophistication and integrity in the speakers business today, with a combination of strong core values, newsworthy clients and excellent agents,” Silbermann said in a statement. “We could not be more excited to build upon our longstanding, close relationship as we welcome them fully into the ICM Partners family.”
In a joint statement by Sedgeley and Lepage, they added: “This is a perfectly timed, strategic move for us that assures our agents and staff, as well as our clients a long-term transition plan, while giving us access to more resources and clients to grow the agency while continuing to provide the best possible service to the people we represent.”


Relocation of a traction substation in Rotterdam
Due to the construction of a new housing development on the Zuiderpark Weg in Rotterdam, the traction substation that powers the metro had to be relocated. To ensure reliability and quality, Omexom has been awarded by the Rotterdam transport company (RET) for its historical expertise in this specific area.
On this project, Omexom in the Netherlands is carrying out the engineering, dismantling, construction and commissioning of the temporary traction substation and the new substation. The main challenge is to successfully relocate a traction substation while maintaining the reliability and quality of the transport service. Also concerned by the environmental impact of their action, Omexom teams act consciously by reusing and recycling materials.
A traction substation ensures that the subways are supplied with Direct Current to operate. This is a building full of technical installations. Switching off a substation and renewing it is impossible, which is why a temporary traction substation is installed first.
To reduce the carbon footprint, the entire traction substation will be reused. The substation relocated to Rotterdam is 10 years old, according to René Van der Zwan, Senior Project Manager at Omexom.
Also, the parts that cannot be reused after dismantling will be recycled.
“The installation is only 10 years old and can easily last another 20 years.”

Senior Project Manager at Omexom
Omexom’s mission on this type of site ensures the continuity of the transport service by setting up a temporary traction substation. This temporary solution will be effective until the new traction substation is operational. Only once the new installation has been confirmed as operational, the temporary substation can be removed.

Build your own vegan green goddess sandwich by stacking all the green ingredients that you can think of and like on your favourite bread. My vegan green goddess sandwich has an amazing and delicious vegan pesto spread on the bottom and top part of oat bran bagel. Pesto gives this sandwich the most flavour so I use it generously. I stack the sandwich with spinach, lettuce, sliced cucumber, zucchini, avocado, edamame, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds and micro greens.
This sandwich is easy to make and it makes a great lunch or a quick snack when you need it. Add or leave out any ingredient you want. I call it green goddess sandwich because of the green ingredients in it even though it doesn’t include the green goddess dressing where the name originates from. I love using my pesto instead. You can continue the theme by having this sandwich together with a green apple or a green smoothie.
Green Goddess Sandwich (V)
- Prepare vegan pesto.
- Slice bread of choice. You can make your own oat bran bagel if not available in stores.
- Spread vegan pesto on the bottom and top part of the bread. Vegan pesto will give the most flavour to this sandwich so be generous with it.
- Stack your sandwich with green ingredients you like. My suggestions are spinach, lettuce, cucumber, zucchini, avocado, edamame beans, a sprinkle of pumpkin and hemp seeds and micro greens.

The mother and father accused immigration officers of taking their youngsters away with out giving them data and typically mocking them or denying them an opportunity to say goodbye. The claims allege that many youngsters stay traumatized, together with a 7-year-old lady who will not sleep with out her mom and a 6-year-old boy who’s reluctant to eat.
The Trump administration has acknowledged it separated greater than 2,000 households final 12 months via the implementation of a zero-tolerance coverage supposed to crack down on Central American migration on the U.S.-Mexico border. Authorities watchdogs have additionally stated it is unclear what number of households had been separated in whole as a result of businesses didn’t hold ok information because the coverage was carried out.

A recent survey shows that 1 million Norwegians plan to use the Easter holidays to fix up houses and gardens.
The survey shows that 1.6 million Norwegians plan to fix up houses and gardens – and that around 1 million of them will use the Easter holidays this year for such activities, the newspaper Nationen writes.
People in Rogaland, Vestfold, and Telemark are especially keen to use Easter to fix up their surroundings.
Despite the fact that houses and gardens are increasingly exposed to climate-related damage, few people consider this when renovating houses or fixing up gardens.
Effects of climate change
The survey shows that only one in ten Norwegians considers climate change when they spend their renovation money. Seven out of ten are not worried about whether their home can withstand climate change.
Respons Analysis has carried out the survey on behalf of Fremtind Forsikring.
“The last ten years, we have had a more humid climate and extreme weather. Water from precipitation and floods penetrates people’s homes more often,” Therese Hofstad-Nielsen in Fremtind stated.
She believes people should make an effort to ensure that the water flows in the right direction, namely away from the house.

CHUCK & BUCKNR
Remember your best pal from grammar school, the one who was kind of nerdy but you tolerated him anyway? Chances are you rarely think of him that often, now that you're an adult. But what if he came back into your life, a tenuous grown-up, still a jerky guy, who is still fond of his childhood toys and wants to hang around with you-incessantly?
That's the premise of Chuck & Buck, a slight film if ever there was one. It's also the dilemma facing Chuck (Chris Weitz, co-producer of American Pie), a young Los Angeles music executive, who was once childhood friends-and possibly more than friends-with Buck (Mike White), a lollipop-licking sad sack who turns up practically on his doorstep, just as Chuck imagines he is getting his act together, both professionally and domestically.
Buck's reunion with Chuck comes about indirectly when the former's mother passes away and Buck invites Chuck to the wake. Chuck stops by the funeral parlor to pay his respects, but Buck is way too happy to see him and greets him with a sexual grope that alerts Chuck as to what is very much on his childhood pal's mind.
Although Buck is 27 years old, he sees no reason why he and Chuck can't resume their friendship, as if nothing has changed since they were grade-school pals. Trouble is, Chuck's life has evolved since then. He is more concerned with his music career, as well as with his fiance Carlyn (Beth Colt). The latter takes a dim view of Buck, whom she sizes up as a rival of sorts, and an odd one at that.
Buck is an odd rival and a pest to boot, but during the downtime when he's not shadowing Chuck, he manages to worm his way into an L.A. theatre group, where he stages an amateurish play called Hank & Frank. Buck invites Chuck to the premiere and the latter actually turns up, suggesting that Chuck may be less dismissive of Buck than he lets on.
Written by White and directed by Miguel Arteta (Star Maps), the digitally shot Chuck & Buck has an intriguing premise, but one that is difficult to sustain over the span of a 99- minute feature. At times, the narrative feels pasted together. An irritating little tune that pops up continually on the soundtrack doesn't help matters, nor does the weak subplot involving the play.
How one responds to Chuck & Buck may depend on how much compassion one can muster for a character who is an insensitive, overgrown child and a potential stalker. Think of an obsessive, semi-deranged variant of Pee-wee Herman or the Glenn Close character in Fatal Attraction and you've pretty much got the picture.


Derbyshire Dales councillors will meet on 8 December ahead of a new Local Plan for the district being submitted to the Secretary of State for an examination in public.
In a final six-week consultation that ended last month, local people were invited to comment on a pre-submission draft of the Plan featuring 6,571 new homes on 28 residential sites - 15 in the central area of the Dales and 13 in the southern area.

Officers are currently working through representations received and any modifications will be considered by full council in December at a meeting in Matlock (6pm). A Government Inspector is expected to deliver a verdict on the Plan next year.
Writing in the upcoming edition of Dales Matters, a residents' newsletter that is delivered to all 34,000 homes in the Dales, District Council Leader Councillor Lewis Rose OBE states:
"The final public consultation on our draft Local Plan has now closed – and on behalf of all my fellow councillors I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this vital process.
"Nothing divides opinion more than where new housing should be built and it has come as no surprise to be on the receiving end of very strong opinions from local people at a series of council and public meetings over recent months.
"I think most of us accept that new housing is needed, not only to benefit our children and grandchildren, but also to bolster the economic prosperity of the district. Where those new home should be built is the big issue of course – but Government are adamant we must provide for the estimated needs of the Dales up to the year 2033.
"Once approved the Local Plan will guide development in the Dales for the next 17 years and also help protect one of the most beautiful districts in the whole of the UK."
The District Council has involved local people in a series of consultations since a previous version of the Plan was withdrawn two years ago after an Inspector ruled that the number of new homes proposed at that time - 4,400 - was 2,000 homes short of what was needed.
In January and February this year draft Local Plan policies and a new housing target figure were agreed, and provisional sites allocated.
Of the 6,571 new homes that could be allocated in the Local Plan, around 2,200 have already been built or have the benefit of planning permission. It is anticipated a further 400 new homes will be built by 2033 in parts of the Derbyshire Dales that lie inside the Peak District National Park, where the District Council does not control development.
So the designated development sites, once approved, will need to accommodate the majority of around 3,600 new homes over the next 17 years to keep up with a predicted population growth of 8.4% and economic growth that could see around 1,700 new jobs delivered across the district.

Watch Nine Inch Nails Cover David Bowie And Play Their New Single At Vegas Tour Opener
Nine Inch Nails are putting out their new album Bad Witch, the EP-length but not an EP conclusion to their trilogy of recent EPs, next week. Their Cold And Black And Infinite tour in support of the release officially kicks off in the fall, but the band played their first show of the year at The Joint in Las Vegas on Wednesday. And they took the opportunity to trot out some songs that they hadn’t played in quite a while.
Among them was a cover of David Bowie’s “I’m Afraid Of Americans.” Trent Rezor was friends with Bowie and starred in the “I’m Afraid Of Americans” video, and after Bowie died, Reznor penned a moving eulogy, anonymously released a remix of the Blackstar track “I Can’t Give Everything Away,” and then performed it at his first live show in three years in homage. But he hadn’t performed “I’m Afraid Of Americans” live in concert since 2013.
During the 19-song song set, Nine Inch Nails also covered Gary Numan’s “Metal” for the first time in nine years and performed The Downward Spiral track “I Do Not Want This” for the first time since 2009. And, of course, they performed Bad Witch’s lead single “God Break Down The Door,” which also sounds a bit like a Bowie tribute with its Blackstar-esque sonics and Bowie-esque croon, live for the first time ever. Watch some fan-shot footage from the show below.

Muscle recovery is essential to success in your workout
When we practice a physical activity we have a change in our muscular structure. They are stimuli caused by the intensity of the exercise that causes us to cause these changes, which leads to the improvement of the physical conditioning, muscular hypertrophy, muscular endurance. These stimuli are stress, caused during training by metabolic and tensional overloads, causing microleaf involved muscles that characterize the stimulation.
In the recovery it occurs the repair of these microlesions as well as the energetic restoration in a plateau superior to the previous one. This recovery phase is critical for muscle development in order to prepare for more intense subsequent stimuli. If the practitioner of the exercise (bodybuilding, running, any sporting modality) is not fully recovered and there is a new overload, the muscles will respond in a negative way, which would be detrimental to muscle development.
recovery is expected to occur between 48 and 72 hours, considering adequate nutrition and other factors, such as rest. In aerobic modalities the recovery occurs in 24 to 48 hours, which will depend on the type of training, goals and training planning.
A good muscle recovery will lead to a process of muscular strengthening, growth and adaptation, therefore, occurs in its most of it not during training but in the rest period.
Immediately after exercise, about one to two hours after training, the muscles that were active prepare to re-establish spent energy and maximize nutrient inflow . This is the state in which the body is most receptive to the absorption and storage of energy.
The ideal days and hours for good muscle recovery will depend on your goal and type of training you are performing, so the importance of orienteering of a Physical Education professional in the programming of their training. This planning should contain the appropriate exercises and rest needed for a good result.
Many studies have shown that a proper carbohydrate and protein diet creates a more effective insulin response in muscle glycogen recovery and anabolism. Given the importance of carbohydrates for the performance of long-term aerobic exercise, it is recommended that subjects who exercise regularly should consume a diet of between 55% and 70% of their caloric total in the form of carbohydrates. sleep also contributes greatly to muscle recovery. During sleep, the hormone HGH (Growth Hormone) secretes, which stimulates growth and muscle recovery, bone building and fat burning, aiding in the recovery of strong workouts and improving the physiological response. Studies show that when an individual does not sleep properly, the production of this hormone decreases.
Always remember to include in your Workout Planning: good workouts, regularity of workouts, a good night's sleep, good muscle rest and proper nutrition .
You do physical exercises to maintain health and, by carelessness, you are forced to drop your favorite activity. "Worried about reaching a stronger, more defined body, many students eventually forget about exercises to strengthen support and cushioning areas, such as the knees," he explains. Fabiana Pereira, from the sports consultancy TPM, in São Paulo.
The consumption of supplements for muscle mass gain based on creatine or androstenedione is related to the increased risk of testicular cancer, according to a study published in the British Journal of Cancer.
