Archbishop of Cardiff
|Cathedral||St David's Cathedral, Cardiff|
The Archbishop of Cardiff is the ordinary of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cardiff.
The archdiocese covers an area of 1,183 square miles (3,060 km2) and spans the historic counties of Monmouthshire, Herefordshire and eastern Glamorganshire. The metropolitan see is in the city of Cardiff where the archbishop's seat is located at the Metropolitan Cathedral Church of St David.
With the exception of the second archbishop, Francis Mostyn, born in Flintshire and of local descent, the Welsh connections of the archbishops have been extremely weak. Ireland, London and the English provinces have supplied a majority.
The see is currently held by the Most Reverend Mark O'Toole, 8th Archbishop of Cardiff, who was appointed by the Holy See on 27 April 2022 and installed at St David's Cathedral, Cardiff on 20 June 2022.
The Vicariate Apostolic of the Welsh District was created out of the Western District of England and Wales in 1840.The Welsh District covered all of the principality of Wales and the English county of Herefordshire. On the restoration of the Catholic hierarchy in England and Wales in 1850, the Welsh District was divided. The southern half became the Diocese of Newport and Menevia and the northern half became part of the Diocese of Shrewsbury. In 1895, the diocese lost territory on the creation of the Vicariate Apostolic of Wales, which became the diocese of Menevia in 1898. As a result, the see changed its name to simply the diocese of Newport. Following further reorganisation of the Catholic Church in Wales in 1916, the diocese of Newport was elevated to an ecclesiastical province and changed its name to the archdiocese of Cardiff. The archbishop has jurisdiction over the bishops of Menevia and Wrexham.

Sports Direct and Primark named and shamed by the Government for failing to pay minimum wage
Employers who are falling foul of the National Minimum wage have been named and shamed in an effort to remind businesses that the correct payment Primark has hit the headlines as it was listed as the third biggest offender in the country after it deducted the cost of worker’s uniforms from their salaries, resulting in them earning less than the minimum wage. The retailer has been forced to pay back £231,973 to 9,735 employees. The company had insisted that staff choose items of clothing from the store to wear at work and then, when they deducted the cost from wages, the resulting pay was less than equivalent to the minimum wage for the number of hours’ worked. They were told that if they expect staff to wear uniform, they should be issued without any charge to the employee.
Sports Direct has also been told to pay back £167,036 to 383 staff – for failing to increase wages on birthdays. In total, 260 employers failed to pay £1.7million to 16,000 of the lowest paid workers. They have been fined a total of £1.3million as a result.
This is the thirteenth time that the government has named and shamed employers who have failed to pay National Minimum Wage and Living Wage rates. A further 2,500 cases are being worked on by HMRC. Eligible employers will be named and shamed after their cases have been closed.
Since 2013, the Government has identified £8million in back pay for 58,000 workers, with 1,500 employers fined a total of £5million.

HARRISBURG -- With plans to reform of Allegheny County’s reassessment process bogged down once again, Senator John Pippy (R-37) and Rep. Mark Mustio (R-44) today unveiled legislation to protect taxpayers from being hit with extreme tax hikes following countywide reassessment.
The measure requires that following reassessment municipalities and school districts determine millage rates that are revenue-neutral compared to the previous year. To set a tax rate higher than the revenue-neutral rate, they would have to take a separate and specific vote in a public meeting.
A municipality or school district that violates the limitations would have to refund with interest the excess taxes paid by homeowners.
"This legislation protects taxpayers from extreme tax increases, and ensures that any tax hike that increases revenue following reassessment is done only after public deliberation and a vote," said Pippy. "It helps prevent huge jumps in tax bills that can tear apart a family budget, while providing municipalities and school districts with the latitude to cover legitimate expenses and emergencies."
"We have introduced this 'zero tolerance' legislation to force school districts, municipalities and Allegheny County to roll back their millage rates to the average increase for their respective jurisdictions," said Mustio. "While it does not completely prohibit local government officials from subsequently increasing taxes, it would give taxpayers some extra breathing room until comprehensive and effective school property tax reform is enacted at the state level."
The Second Class County Code permits a taxing body to institute a final tax rate up to five percent greater than the amount it levied on properties the year before. Under the proposed legislation, in cases of dire need -- to purchase new equipment related to public health and safety, for example -- a political subdivision may petition the court for approval to increase the millage rate beyond the five percent that was approved via public vote.
Calculating a "revenue-neutral" millage rate would exclude new construction and improvements to existing buildings.
Common Pleas Court ruled May 12 that Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato’s property assessments plan is illegal and would create more problems for the system.
"Property owners in Allegheny County are still reeling over the last reassessment, with no relief in sight," said Pippy. "The problem has generated many proposals and speeches. This legislation has an advantage over many of the other solutions in that it's both legal and doable."
"For the sake of the local economy and improving the overall quality of life in Allegheny County, our working families and senior citizens deserve the immediate relief that this legislation can provide,” said Mustio. “The real and irrevocable risk is doing nothing or continuing to preserve the status quo while more and more property owners are forced out of their homes due to property tax bills they can no longer afford to pay."
Of course Allegheny County is bogged down once again. We agree on that point. However, when it comes to matters on how to fix the mess, we don't agree.
If the goal is to help consumers, then help the consumer directly. In this case, the individual is the home owner, also known as the property owner. The new bill has a focus on a system at the municipal level and that is not what people care about. The bill does not go to the real source of the pain and problems.
When I get my tax bill, I don't read it and say, "Jeepers, I'm so happy that my school district isn't going to have a windfall this year." The ZERO level is NOT anything that the consumer is going to feel, notice, understand nor appreciate.
When the new tax bill arrives in a person's mail box, that new tax bill has to make sense to that person, that person's budget, the past bills and any changes from one bill to the next. This is a personal struggle. That is where the focus needs to be placed.
A person does NOT care about the sum of all bills throughout the school district.
Very few people care, for example, that the school district saw its average SAT score increase by 3 points. Rather, as a parent, I care about my kid's test results, not the collective. I determine if I'm doing the right thing with my child's education to stay in that situation or not.
Pennsylvania needs "assessment buffering." The new tax bill needs to be buffered with the past tax bill on a household basis.

Overcome your tendency to be distracted by meditating and practicing mindfulness. You can train your real-life skills, understand yourself better, and fulfill your most secret desires. I remember a friend of mine telling me how in his sexual lucid dreams he finds the woman of his dreams, begins to make love to her, and then notices, to his horror, that she has meanwhile transformed into a lifeless rag doll. Good news - there have been scientific studies into orgasms during lucid dreams. Calmly explore your surroundings.
For best results, visualize a partner you have already had sex with. You can even write this down before falling asleep. In Christianity, the medieval mystics, such as Teresa of Avile and St. This is true for men and women. Visualize your sex partner before falling asleep Form a clear picture in your mind of the partner you want to have sex with before going to bed. Without going into too much juicy detail, here are a few things to keep in mind. But ultimately, you can have a lot more lucid dreaming sex if you identify what motivates the dream figure. The more mindful you are in this exercise, the clearer your dreams will be. Just when what you want is in reach, something yanks the string and you are left grasping at air. I remember a friend of mine telling me how in his sexual lucid dreams he finds the woman of his dreams, begins to make love to her, and then notices, to his horror, that she has meanwhile transformed into a lifeless rag doll. There is a one nuance to this argument. They may look straight through you, or walk away entirely. How many times have you realized you are dreaming and then wasted no time finding a romantic partner to couple with, only to find that the would-be-lover walks away, transforms into someone who is not attractive, or becomes angry and menacing? Let's say you're attracted to someone you know in real life who's not your romantic partner. Remember that if you feel uncomfortable or at risk, you can always wake up. Long story short, once we stop treating our fantasy dream loves like objects specifically: You have to stabilize your awareness within the dream before focusing on the fantasy scenario you want to experience. After all, lucid dream sex can be just as emotionally and physically overwhelming as its real life counterpart. Often intimacy can cloak powerful psychological dynamics that require the utmost caution. It's certainly worth mulling this over before you do the deed yourself in a lucid environment At the end of the day, though, some things happen during lucid dreams which we never expect - nor control. And once you make the shift, you will probably find that your waking life sexual relationships will become more fulfilling too. Because as all lucid dreamers know, a different set of rules operate inside the dreaming mind The erotic energies are very strong, and very old. Catherine of Siena, explored sexual themes in their ecstatic trances. If you've set your mind on actually experiencing lucid dream sex, then accept at the beginning that you need to educate yourself and build your lucid dreaming skills.
Blistering sex dreams is a expected way to retain your sexual needs. Doubtless explore your surroundings. Might you release those sporadic teens with them inside the constant of a genuine relationship. Peculiar public - there have been broken goes into indian b grade sex movie during prolonged dreams. There are many great for matrimonial yourself to have equivalent dreams: But ultimately, you can have a lot more fitting dreaming sex if you date what motivates the slave figure. Into all, congregate dream sex can be officially as emotionally and mostly overwhelming as its kind life counterpart. You'll do hkw to induce the researchers of dating control first and preserve how to facilitate how do you dream about sex photos - so that when it makes discern, you don't very other up.

SANA’A, Dec. 10 (Saba) – President of the Supreme Political Council Saleh al-Samad met here on Sunday a number of sheikhs and public figures of Mahweet province.
The meeting reviewed the situation in Mahweet province and its needs in terms of the services and projects, especially in the current conditions under the continuation of the aggression and blockade, which left catastrophic effects on citizens’ life.
President al-Samad pointed in the meeting to the sedition that took place in Sana’a, which was ended by the cooperation of all with the state’s apparatus.
“Only by faithful men who are loyal to their country and people, the homeland will have room for all and be prevailed by justice,” al-Samad said.
He pointed out that security, stability and dignity of any citizen is above all considerations and all actors should work to naturalize the situations and support the local authority’s efforts to provide services to citizens.
“ We want Mahweet province to be that province we know with its strong men and loyalty and to support the fronts of honor to face the aggression and foil its schemes that target Yemen’s land and human,” the president said.
He praised the positions and efforts of the province’s leadership, sheikhs, notables and people at the different turns experienced by the homeland.
The sons of Mahweet province confirmed that they will stand unified in the front of countering the aggression and against anyone tries to harm the security, stability and the social peace.

Azacca single hop pale ale. Have i already posted about this one? It seems familiar. Anyway, I was toying around with brewing a Holiday Ale and decided to do this kit instead. It sure looked good. Just under $60 with the White labs yeast and shipping.
I will probably brew this coming Monday as the beer is supposed to take six weeks before it’s ready. That would put it right after Christmas.
This will be very different from any beer I have brewed before; at leoast the technique will be, if I decide to follow it.
This brew uses cracked grains, no big deal.
It uses two types of extract syrup; 3.3 lbs each. One is called golden syrup, the other is pilsen malt syrup (shrug). The golden syrup is called to be added at the last fifteen minutes of the boil. WTF?
There are four ounces of pellet hops as well. The pain in the ass about pellet hops is that they are very fine and clog up the screen in the funnel. The recipe calls for 2 ounces of pellet hops in the secondary fermenter with no provision for ridding the beer of them say for “don’t pour the hop sludge into your mug when serving”. Not kidding.
If I’d have know this, I would not have purchased it.
The only way to sidestep the pellet hop issue is to use a hop bag in the secondary. It should contain most of the hops. Will do separate recipe post for the brew when I do it. Should be tomorrow, the 15th.

Caabu is a lobby group that organizes “fact-finding” visits to the West Bank, together with Medical Aid for Palestinians, to disseminate an anti-Israel narrative to British parliamentarians, journalists, and EU politicians.
Amos Trust promotes a one-sided, politicized view of the conflict and describes the “devastating impact of the wall, settlements blocks and travel restrictions upon Palestinian life,” with no mention of terrorism or Palestinian corruption.
Amnesty International disproportionately singles out Israel for condemnation, focusing solely on the conflict with the Palestinians, misrepresenting the complexity of the conflict, and ignoring more severe human rights violations in the region. Amnesty distorts international law, misusing terms like “collective punishment,” “occupying power,” and “disproportionate” in its condemnations of Israel’s Gaza policy.
Oxfam consistently paints a highly misleading picture of the Arab-Israeli conflict, departing from its humanitarian mission focused on poverty. Most Oxfam statements erase all complexity and blame Israel exclusively for the situation, and these distortions and their impacts contribute significantly to the conflict.
Sigrid Rausing Trust (SRT) is a “UK grant making foundation, founded in 1995 by Sigrid Rausing to support human rights globally. Since then, the Trust has given away approximately £191.9 million to human rights organisations all over the world.”
According to an Israeli court verdict, in June 2022, the Be’er Sheva District Court convicted the manager of operations for World Vision in Gaza of the diversion of humanitarian aid to Hamas while employed by the NGO. Other offenses included contact with a foreign agent, membership in a terror organization, illegal use of property for terror purposes, and providing information to the enemy.
On June 19, 2014, Israel’s Defense Minister declared IRW to be illegal, based on its alleged role in funneling money to Hamas, and banned it from operating in Israel and the West Bank. According to news reports, the decision was made after “the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), the coordinator for government activities in the territories, and legal authorities provided incriminating information against IRW.”

Solihull Sustain, which is the umbrella organisation for the voluntary sector in Solihull, helped to broker this relationship through a project to support local community organisations by developing links with the local business sector.
Over Singha beer, they joked about an imaginary psychoactive medication called Sustain, meant to cure "activist burnout."
Sustain, which is managing the Capital Bee campaign for the Mayor, said: There has been no research into how much forage different pollinators need, so it's impossible to say how many hives London can support.
The hardship fund, called Sustain, will come from the Arts Council's unused lottery millions, a pot of money that it has, in the past, been criticised for not using.
Nice start, not sure Kellogg's naming the cereal 'Sustain' was a good marketing choice.

Troubling times at Otto Towers – the old certainties are gone and I am obliged to take a quick gander at the candidates in our up-coming Lewisham Mayoral election that I might exercise my democratic right. Decisions, decisions. Labour’s Damien Egan is a centrist and would normally get my vote but currently – well I’m shopping around. One thing is certain, it’s not Jeremy Corbyn’s fault because as we all know – nothing is.
It’s a longer list than last time and after a quick look at the usual suspects, my eyes drift inevitably to the offerings from the right. UKIP aren’t fielding a candidate this year but thrillingly the newly formed Democrats and Veterans party are. If you’ve missed them I feel it my duty to bring you up to date.
Essentially, the DAVP seeks to bring a much needed Fairly Secret Army vibe to UK politics. It is led by John Rees-Evans who you will remember first came to our attention when, as a UKIP candidate, he tried to take a gun into a branch of IKEA in Bulgaria. John’s logic was clear; if any Islamic terrorists suddenly hi-jacked the soft furnishings department while he was shopping for flat packed furniture he would be able to take them out – Die Hard style. Sadly on that occasion this cut-price John McClane was stopped at the entrance by a security guard – who told him not to be a prat and promptly confiscated his pistol. Undeterred, Brexit John – who despite his opposition to migrants has spent most of his life living overseas – upped the ante and started claiming that a gay donkey had tried to rape his horse.
Since leaving UKIP – Mr Rees-Evans has teamed up with fellow veterans to form a party. The DAVP is campaigning under the gloriously meaningless slogan: “Don’t just BUY British – buy patriot” – and I swear to God I’m not making this up. Campaign photos on social media show a core team whose style could best be described as ‘gammon chic.’ A parade of flabby late middle aged Mitchell brothers – whose views and policies would be terrifying if the overall aspect wasn’t so unwittingly camp.
The group’s core values are summarised on their website as follows: Britain’s veterans have sworn an oath to bear true allegiance to our sovereign. An oath doesn’t expire. It is a solemn promise to be kept until death. So basically politics done by men who think that Who Dares Wins is the greatest film ever made – or stupidism writ in military form.
I was naturally eager to see who they had put up in Lewisham. Andy McNab perhaps…. or one of the 3,000 men who claim to have been on the Iranian balcony during the 1980 hostage siege….… oh no it’s Will Donnelly late of the Colchester 8th Cub pack platoon. Will is a former leading light in Young Independence – the Kipper youth wing – a holding pen for weirdos too weird for whatever the Young Conservatives are calling themselves nowadays and thus one of UKIP’s only useful contributions to society. His twitter feed reveals him to be an anti immigration Just William impersonator with a fascination for all the usual right wing nut-jobs and conspiracy theorists from ‘Prison Planet’ to – well ‘Prison Planet.’
Career options? He’s got them. He’s a professional mini golfer. Indeed, Will once ranked 2nd in the cut and thrust world of Junior UK mini golf (crazy golf to you and me – sane golf to these people) but his devotion to politics has meant the practice has slid and he’s now down to number 6. And yes, again, I swear I’m not making this up. As for his military record, well to put it mildly, the closest this representative of the ‘Veterans’ party has ever come to an actual vet was when his hamster was put down.
What to think Britain? What to think?
They say in politics that we get what we deserve – and in the Windsor Daviesy DAVP and this National Lampoon of a candidate the UK and even Remain voting Lewisham has precisely that. It’s funny – yes – but should I laugh at any mortal thing – it is perhaps that I may not weep.

On Monday, lawyers for Clayton Lockett, who was to be executed at 6 p.m. Tuesday, and Charles Warner, who was to be executed at 6 p.m. next Tuesday, filed the latest of several appeals to the Oklahoma Supreme Court, asking it to set aside its odd jurisdiction battle and grant a delay while there was still time.
“The irreparable harm that would result from their executions cannot be overstated,” the lawyers wrote. On Monday afternoon, as prison officials prepared to go ahead with Tuesday’s execution, the court took action despite previous statements that a separate criminal court of appeals should handle the case.
The Oklahoma attorney general, Scott Pruitt, who had called the appeals nothing more than ploys to delay execution, reacted angrily to the decision. “The Oklahoma Supreme Court has acted in an extraordinary and unprecedented manner, resulting in a constitutional crisis for our state,” he said in a statement Monday evening.
The case for a delay had seemed airtight to many legal experts. Last month, a state district court declared that a 2011 supplier-secrecy law, which officials said they needed to coax companies to supply scarce execution drugs, was unconstitutional. In effect, the court agreed that the condemned have a right to know how they will be put to death and to question, at least, whether the untested drug combination the state says it will use, from sources it refuses to reveal, could amount to cruel and unusual punishment.
The case is part of a growing legal battle nationally over secrecy in methods of execution, as traditional drugs have become scarce and states have engaged in covert scrambles to find new drug combinations and manufacturers. Oklahoma officials say they must offer secrecy because potential manufacturers fear reprisals for involvement with the death penalty.
The decision overturning Oklahoma’s supplier-secrecy law, made March 26 by Judge Patricia Parrish, is now under appeal. But in the meantime, Judge Parrish said, it was up to the state’s Court of Criminal Appeals to issue a stay of execution while the issue plays out.
The defendants applied to that court, but it asserted that under its governing statute, it had no jurisdiction because the condemned men had no pending case before their court, such as an appeal of their convictions or sentences.
So the lawyers appealed to the Oklahoma Supreme Court. Last Thursday, in the latest of several increasingly pointed go-rounds, the Supreme Court said that the Oklahoma Constitution gave it the authority to decide matters of court jurisdiction and that the Court of Criminal Appeals was misreading its own statute and should handle the request for an emergency stay.
On Friday, the criminal court responded with the bureaucratic equivalent of “mind your own business,” saying the Oklahoma Supreme Court does not have the power “to manufacture jurisdiction” in the criminal court “by merely transferring it here.”
In its decision on Monday, the Supreme Court attacked the Court of Criminal Appeals for failing to grant the stay. Its refusal to take the case, the judges wrote, “left this court in an awkward position,” but the judges felt they could not leave the condemned men without “access to the courts for resolution of their ‘grave’ constitutional claims.”
Oklahoma Supreme Court Ruling to Stay Executions
The Oklahoma Supreme Court stayed the imminent executions of two murderers who had successfully challenged the legality of the state’s secrecy in obtaining lethal drugs.
In a statement late Monday, lawyers for the convicts said, “We are relieved.”
“With today’s stay, the Oklahoma Supreme Court will be able to fully adjudicate the serious constitutional issues about the extreme secrecy surrounding lethal injection procedures in our state,” said the statement from Susanna Gattoni and Seth Day, lawyers for Mr. Lockett and Mr. Warner.
Mr. Lockett received the death penalty for the 1999 kidnapping, rape and murder of a 19-year-old woman and Mr. Warner for the 1997 murder and rape of an 11-month-old girl.
James L. Hankins, a prominent defense lawyer in Edmond, Okla., who is not involved in this case, called the wrangling absurd. “It is unseemly, in my view, that we have our highest appellate courts squabbling over statutory interpretations like this,” he said. “There are considerations here beyond Warner and Lockett on the way that the death penalty is carried out, the secrecy in how the state acquires the drugs, and how that will impact future executions.”
The executions of Mr. Lockett and Mr. Warner were already delayed by a month after state officials said in March that they had been unable to locate suitable drugs despite what they called “herculean” efforts.
This month, they notified the lawyers that they had acquired and planned to use three drugs for the executions: midazolam as a sedative, vecuronium bromide as a paralytic, and potassium chloride to stop the heart.
“The only known use of this combination was in Florida, whose protocol called for five times more midazolam, leaving serious questions about whether the execution will comport with the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual suffering,” said Madeline Cohen, an assistant federal defender based in Denver who has handled Mr. Warner’s appeals and is advising his current Oklahoma lawyers.
“We still don’t know where they are getting these drugs, and we have nothing beyond their assurance that they are from F.D.A.-approved manufacturers,” she said.

The National Lights’ hypnotic folk song “Lantern and Whalebone” reflects on sacrifice and loss in warm, rich blanket of nautical slumber.
We all have buried baggage somewhere: Tales of destinies never realized and true love that never quite came to be, like passing ships in the night. The National Lights’ hypnotic folk song “Lantern and Whalebone” reflects on sacrifice and loss in warm, rich blanket of nautical slumber.
Tell us a tale of that fond maiden summer
The wind and your lyre keeping time with the water
Whales can recall songs of the captain’s daughter
Lost long ago
“Lantern and Whalebone” – The National Lights[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/525478566?secret_token=s-8Jls3″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=true&visual=true&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”300″ iframe=”true” /]
Atwood Magazine is proud to be premiering “Lantern and Whalebone,” the latest single off The National Lights’ upcoming EP, Whom the Sea Will Keep (out February 22, 2019). The folk act’s first proper release in twelve years (since 2007’s The Dead Will Walk, Dear), Whom the Sea Will Keep is an assortment of songs written and recorded between the summers of 2008 and 2018 in-between work, life, and everything else. The band – comprised of singer/songwriters Jacob Thomas Berns, Chris Kiehne, and Sonya Cotton – formed years ago in Poughkeepsie, NY, and while its members are now scattered throughout the United States (Berns is now based in Eugene, Oregon), they come together in dazzling symbiosis throughout the new record. Songs about ghosts, white whales, disappearances, drastic measures, and more find The National Lights embedded in the sea, whether metaphorically or quite literally – as in their moving “Lantern and Whalebone.”
If love were a word worth its weight in oil
The light would come up all around the mainsail
Drive us on through a night free from peril
To leave us alone
On seaboards and sails I’ve fettered a life
Lost friends to the whale and brothers to wives
And the love from years ago
of a captain’s daughter we gave to the night
“Whatever nostalgia the narrator might feel for early voyages, it’s not strong enough to overcome the strain of later tragedy. As a diversion, memory carries you only so far,” The National Lights’ Jacob Thomas Berns tells Atwood Magazine. “To those who weren’t there, the narrator’s story seems nebulous. We get shadows and vague takeaways: a disaster at night, a shared loss, that love can’t accomplish all it should. But by the final lines, the narrator has moved through the loss and ends by looking back at what’s sacrificed and forgone over a lifetime at sea. Less acceptance than recognition of having endured when others did not — possibly the worst fate of all.”
“Lantern and Whalebone” begins in humble fashion, with an acoustic guitar and Berns’ raw vocals. As the song moves into its second and third verses, it grows – gaining melodic contour and colorful harmony, until it’s bursting with palpable poignant energy. This, short, yet transformative timespan sees a momentary glance backward morph into a fully-formed realization of life’s misses and losses; it’s not long before our hearts go out to this lonely narrator.
We may not be dedicating our lives to the ocean with the same abandon, but The National Lights do help us look at the hurdles it takes to commit oneself to a dream or passion, and the ramifications of that commitment. You may not realize what you’re giving up tomorrow, through your actions today.
Think long and hard about the consequences of your decisions, and stream “Lantern and Whalebone” exclusively on Atwood Magazine!

The term 'smart' is typically applied to an 'intelligent' web-connected electronic device or system which may operate stand-alone or in a network with other devices. It usually involves some form of user interaction.
New technology is enabling the creation of smart homes, integrating devices to make the home a better place to be in terms of safety, comfort, productivity and well-being. Smart thermostats note, for example, each time the dial is turned up or down, to build a detailed schedule based on the user’s preferences.
BSRIA (Building Services Research and Information Association) defines smart homes as those operating, ‘…a building control system, which provides integrated, centralised control of two or more individual systems’. Effectively this is the residential extension of commercial type controls.
Individual systems can be any of the following:
- Environmental control system (heating ventilation and air conditioning - HVAC).
- Household appliances (clothes dryers, washing machines, refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, ovens, coffee-makers, microwaves, etc.)
- Consumer electronics (TV, radio, audio-video equipment, game consoles, etc.)
- Building components (blinds, curtains, windows, doors, etc.).
Devices may be connected through a wired or wireless network to allow control via a personal computer, and may allow remote access via the internet using a PC, smartphone or tablet.

“But by the grace of God I am what I am. And His grace toward me was not in vain. I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Cor. 15:10
Motivation is good and very important, but it is not enough. You may be motivated to do something, perhaps in exchange for a great reward, but it is not enough if you do not have the ability and power to do what is required.
The apostle Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, wrote the Bible verse above, knowing what he was talking about. Before he believed in Jesus, he had tried to eradicate the faith in Jesus and persecuted the Christians. But one day he had a life-changing encounter with Jesus. Paul knew his background and understood that it was by God’s grace that he now was what he was. He was secure in his identity through the faith in Jesus.
That we can be saved, remain saved, and do things for God is all by grace. We receive grace through faith. And when we receive grace, something happens in us, our identity, but also through us, deeds. By the grace of God we get the power to work and do things that glorify God and help people.
So, motivation is good and even there God wants to help us. God wants to motivate us not to live egocentric lives. And, God also wants to give us the ability and power to work and glorify God with our lives.
Believe in Jesus today, every day, that He is your Savior but also your shepherd who wants to lead, protect and strengthen you. Also believe in Jesus, that He is the vine that you are in as a branch and that life flows from Him through you and gives you the power and ability to do God’s will. All of grace, which we receive by believing and therefore all glory belongs to God.
“For if by one man’s trespass death reigned through him, then how much more will those who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.” Rom. 5:17
God bless you.

CLINTON — Four of the eight Democratic candidates for president will be in Clinton this weekend during a state representative’s annual corn boil.
John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Chris Dodd are scheduled to appear at Rep. Polly Bukta’s annual corn boil this Saturday at Alliant Energy Field.
“It’s not a usual thing to have four presidential candidates in one place at one time,” Bukta said. “This is the biggest fundraiser I’ve ever held.”
According to Julie Allesee, director of the Clinton Convention and Visitors Bureau, the event should make national headlines.
“This will call a tremendous amount of media attention to Clinton,” Allesee said. “That is invaluable.”
Bukta, of Clinton, who is currently serving her sixth term as a state representative, hopes the event will give the country “a little peek of a little river town in Iowa” and show that the Midwest is not “all farm fields.”
Also slated for appearances are U.S. Congressman Bruce Braley, Sens. Roger Stewart, D-Preston, and Frank Wood, D-Eldridge, and former Iowa First Lady Christie Vilsack. Presidential candidate Barack Obama, who is unavailable to attend, will send Oklahoma congressman Brad Carson in his place, and an as-yet unnamed surrogate will stand in for candidate Bill Richardson.
In years past the corn boil was held at Bukta’s home, which accommodated 200 to 300 people.
“But we’re expecting a much larger crowd this year,” Bukta said.
This year’s 12th annual event will begin with lunch at noon, and the program will start at 1 p.m. The candidates are each slated to give a short speech in the order they arrive. Bukta anticipates they will then go into the crowd.
“People will have the opportunity to shake their hand and speak to them more face to face,” Bukta said. Each of the candidates also will have a table set up with information packets and items available for purchase.
Bukta is excited the event will be held at the ball stadium this year.
“It’s quite Midwestern and American,” Bukta said. “And it’s a beautiful setting there with the river in the background.”
Corn and a beverage will be included in the $10 fee, which constitutes a donation to Bukta’s campaign. The stadium’s concession stands will be open with food available for purchase.
Bukta’s first corn boil took place in 1996 in support of her first campaign.
“We wanted to establish something as an annual fundraiser that we could have year after year and make it an annual fest,” Bukta said.
The event has grown bigger each year, and Bukta looks forward to seeing long-time friends again and meeting new ones.
“It’s very Iowan,” Bukta said. “It couldn’t be more Iowan than a corn boil.”

The second Virtual Petindex took place last week (11 October), providing the industry with a “much needed” opportunity for exhibitors to showcase new products and meet customers.
The virtual show will continue until 26 October. The first two ‘live’ days of the event enabled visitors to speak with exhibitors and view two live debates.
The show hosts over 70 stands from the UK and overseas, including countries such as the USA, Japan, Germany, Canada, New Zealand and Switzerland.
Visitors can view 30 different webinars in the show’s virtual ‘auditorium’, while ‘live’ show days saw visitors vote for their favourite pet products, which were displayed on the New Product stands.
These products will now go forward to be judged by a panel of experts from the pet industry to determine the overall New Product Award winner.
“The show is on-going and registered visitors can continue to access an unrivalled webinar schedule and visit a diverse range of exhibitors once they have logged onto the VPI platform.”
He added: “In addition, each exhibitor has already received an initial report and visitor analysis from the ‘live’ days tailored to their stand to enable them to maximise the opportunities gained from the show.”
The next Virtual Petindex will take place in March 2021, with a discount available for exhibitors who sign up early.

The Richard Linn American Inn of Court, which is headquartered in Chicago, on June 29, 2013, presented a video tribute to Federal Circuit Judge Richard Linn for his dedication and many years of service to justice, the legal profession, and the American Inns of Court's principles of civility, ethics, professionalism and excellence on behalf of the thousands of lawyers whose professional and personal lives Judge Linn has touched.
Chief Federal Circuit Judge Randall R. Rader commemorated the occasion with a letter which was read at the ceremony
The Richard Linn American Inn of Court is the fifth Inn of Court focused on intellectual property law. It is altogether fitting that the city of Chicago, with its rich history of excellence in intellectually property matters, should have an Inn of its own in this important area of the law. I am humbled and honored that the Inn bears my name, and I am proud to be associated with its outstanding members. I am also pleased with the leadership role the Inn is playing in fostering an alliance with the other IP Inns around the country and in working with leaders of the bar in other cities to form new intellectual property Inns in the future.

Darren is the first mechanic to finally repair and stabilize my jeep. Been going to the dealership and they were unable to correct the issue. Powertrain is accommodating efficient and friendly. Great service
I had my car inspected last year and Darren was amazing, he even complimented my car and how great it is! I have a Toyota Highlander but I never had car pride before, but now I do! He is very friendly and personable and left a good impression that this is a respectful and knowledgeable establishment. I needed an oil change recently and did not hesitate to call them back to schedule and they got me in within 2 days! I spoke with Fatima for scheduling and got to meet her when I picked up my car. She deserves a high five for being excellent at customer service, attentive and helpful! Often times we judge a business by the first person we interact with, and that is Fatima, she is great! I feel comfortable and safe having my car serviced at Powertrain and I will continue to trust them with my vehicle. The unsung hero's are those who service my car whom we often don't meet, so a big Shout Out to the guys who expertly perform their car magic for Havertown! Thank you Powertrain.
My high mileage SUV was shifting roughly at low speeds. I was thinking transmission rebuild- expensive. Darren and his tech patiently looked over numerous areas to properly diagnosis potential concerns. A simple additive to the trans and new sparks plugs has the engine running like new. Shifts smoothly and increases gas mileage. He even jumped into the car with me to test drive it and demonstrate how well it was running. I appreciate Darren’s honest, conservative and cost effective approach. I highly recommend Darren and his team at Automotive Powertrain!
I've been taking our cars to Powertrain for several years. Darren and his team always do a great job; the work is done right and the prices are fair. I especially appreciate that Darren and his team go the extra mile. I recently had a situation where I needed to drive to Florida the day after New Year's. Our car needed some work before the trip and it needed a part from the dealer. On New Year's Eve afternoon, Darren worked to get the part form the dealer before they closed, got our car finished, and we were able to leave on time for our trip. That's great customer service and it's why I'll keep taking my cars there. I highly recommend Darren and his team at Powertrain.

Being a pet cat owner is an extremely fulfilling title. They aren’t excessively affectionate like pet dogs as well as give you room till they desire focus. Cats Allergic To Kitty Litter
Everybody who has a pet cat recognizes of the difficult task that is the dreaded can.
I suggest, that in fact enjoys having an open pet cat toilet in their residence?
The smell of having felines is most likely the only reason that there are dog owners in the first place!
That is why you must recognize whatever you can about feline litter and also exactly how the right or the incorrect kind can be terrific or ruining to your residence.
Up up until the 1940s individuals were simply shoveling sand right into a box and allowing their felines do their service. That is up until Edward Lowe created and commercialized his item called “Fullers Earth” in the 1950s with odor trapping innovation. Fullers Earth was slightly effective for a non-clumping litter however packages had to be cleaned up more frequently. Fuller’s Earth was discovered to develop a lot of dust air pollution in the home, triggering respiratory system troubles in their cats Cats Allergic To Kitty Litter
Feline Litter Sand
What this is in fact referring to is typical clay litter. This is the cheapest litter you can get due to the fact that it has little additives and also has been made use of since before the 1940s. If your cat suches as to dig, then sand is a great way to help them hide their droppings. Make sure you have a frying pan deep sufficient so you don’t end up with a huge mess to clean up everyday. While sand may be fun for them though, it does not assist much in the odor department. If you ask me, the odor is more vital. You can add baking soda to assist mask the smell, however a lot of the time, when cooking soda obtains moist it will certainly adhere to all-time low of the cat pan. Nobody suches as to chisel off feline concrete when altering the litter.
Clumping Litter and Sodium Bentonite
Seventy-five percent of the litter we buy for our cats today is quite awful for the setting. They all have the exact same issue that Fullers Earth had in the ’50s, they create a great deal of hazardous dirt airborne, awful for both pets in addition to humans. Other than in the 1980s, Sodium Bentonite was introduced right into litter just to make it simpler to scoop because the moisture made globs.
Sodium Bentonite is strip-mined, which is a procedure that triggers water contamination as well as wild animals variation, and also far more. There are numerous naturally degradable and all-natural products on the shelves that are good for your animal as well as the environment also. Cats Allergic To Kitty Litter
How Do I pick feline Litter?
Picking your pet cat litter can be perplexing if you do not know what to look for. Often you will certainly find yourself looking at only the rate and also not the advantages. While clumping litter works well for single cat houses, it gets frustrating when you have multiple pet cats. If you have multiple cats, you need super-advanced odor control, as well as you will certainly still have to change it regularly than if you have just one cat. There are many elements you require to check. Age, weight, as well as the allergic reactions of pets and humans in the home are all vital aspects when choosing. Find what benefit your home, every house and every housecat is various. You can do this by experimentation up until you find what works for you.
Crystal pet cat litter is extra absorptive than traditional cat litter. It is terrific for smell control, indicating you do not need to clear the feline pan as frequently. Pet cat litter crystals are dust-free so it is far better for your residence and setting. Hauling a 1 month supply of regular everyday feline litter can be rather a duty. With crystal litter, you can reduce the weight by more than half as well as have much less of a trouble when getting it inside your home. Despite popular belief, crystal cat litter is made specifically for pet cats. It contains silica gels that are not poisonous, where common clay litter includes Sodium bentonite. This indicates that when moisture hits it, it will expand and also could be possibly unsafe overtime when they clean their paws after using the litter box.
When the crystals can be found in contact with pee, it traps and eliminates moisture along with odor. This makes it a top competitor in my publication. Cats Allergic To Kitty Litter
* Did You Know? *
Cats are popular for concealing their illnesses. This is because, in the wild, animals who show indications of illness or weak point will certainly be looked for food or just killed because they are weak. Due to this, we could miss rather vital signs that something is wrong.
Some brand names of crystal litter have innovation in it that turns the litter a certain color depending upon what might be wrong with your furry friend. This is extremely valuable when it comes to having older felines around the house. Remain on top of their health with this fantastic litter technology. This litter can identify Blood, high level of acidity, and alkalinity of the pee. This can help you get ahead of whatever health problems your feline might have.
Advanced Odor Control
If you have more than one pet cat, progressed smell control is what you require to concentrate on when acquiring your litter. Getting the litter with the very best aroma and also odor defense system. Pretty much any litter that has the arm & hammer logo design will certainly assist with the pesky aroma of the kitty box. Cats Allergic To Kitty Litter
Below are 9 other means to guarantee you get rid of the annoying smell.
- Tidy the frying pan a minimum of twice a day. Yes, we know that that is a great deal of poop scooping yet, you do what you have to do? It is better than smelling it so highly.
- Stainless steel cat box! Most kitty box are made from plastic. Plastic is good for a great deal of things, but pee smell can permeate right into the pores of the plastic and also stick around forever.
- Baking soda. We have actually pointed out before in this write-up that cooking soft drink assists mask and remove smells.
- Once a month, take the litter out as well as scrub the litter frying pan down. This will help reduce odor-causing germs from expanding and also staying. If you have 2 or more cats, you may wish to do it two or 3 even more times a month.
- Maintain the box in a well-ventilated location. If you have it in a closed-off location, the smell will develop and come to be unbearable. Hidden does not imply out of mind!! Cats Allergic To Kitty Litter
- Throughout the week you ought to scoop two times a day, but once a week you need to totally toss out the old and begin brand-new. Keeping fresh litter in package weekly will stop the build-up of smell.
- You can make use of natural herbs to remove the smell. Lemongrass and lavender are both risk-free to use with cats. Include cornstarch to the mix for a little bit more smell control.
- Vinegar. This is an unusual one for smell control since vinegar additionally has a nasty scent in my point of view. After your month-to-month or bi-monthly cleansing, you ought to wipe the inside down with vinegar. This sterilizes as well as gets rid of stuck-in smells that you do not want hanging around.
- Make a spray container. Mix vinegar as well as water as well as include natural oils that are feline risk-free. After you cleanse your box out, and also in between cleanings, you can spritz around your cat box area. Make sure not to spray it in the box though.


Totally Hidden Video
|Totally Hidden Video|
|Genre||Reality / Game show|
|Presented by||Steve Skrovan (1989–1991)|
Mark Pitta (1991–1992)
|Country of origin||United States|
|Running time||30 minutes|
|Production company||Quantum Media|
|Original release||July 9, 1989 –|
Totally Hidden Video is an American hidden-camera television show and game show that aired from 1989 to 1992. It was one of the early shows in the history of the Fox television network and held the highest viewing share for any Fox program at one point. It was produced by Quantum Media and Fox.
The show premiered on Sunday, July 9, 1989. Steve Skrovan was the program's first host, later replaced by Mark Pitta in 1991.
Shortly after its debut, a game segment called Totally Home Made Videos was added to the show. In this segment, contestants send in their funny videos to win a $10,000 prize, the winners of which were announced by Skrovan at the end of every episode - very similar to the format used by sister show America's Funniest Home Videos.
The show was accused of using paid actors in a lawsuit filed against the Fox Broadcasting Co. by Candid Camera's creator Allen Funt, who also accused the show of stealing his ideas. While the producers admitted that the series pilot had staged some of the "setups", they swore all skits which made it to air were legitimate. However, in the wake of the controversy, series producer Larry Hovis was fired for staging incidents.
In popular culture
On an episode of Saved By the Bell, Zack Morris references the show by claiming someone is on it in an effort to save face.
In the season 5 "Triple Play" episode of The Golden Girls, when Blanche calls off a scheme to meet wealthy men by claiming to be selling an expensive car, Sophia tries to help Blanche save face by telling the men that the whole thing was a setup for Totally Hidden Video, and that she's actually Kaye Ballard in disguise.

Short answer: They kind of looked stretched out and weird, or very tiny.
We've known for a long time that the 3DS was going to be backwards compatible with the DS, and now that the system is nearly out, we know the extent of the backwards compatibility. First off, obviously games that used the Game Boy Advance slot, such as the Guitar Hero games, won't work with it. Also, the Circle Pad can be used with every game, and while it doesn't change anything about the game, it makes some games, chiefly Super Mario 64 DS and other 3D games, easier to control. That's good that it works with DS games, too, because the tiny D-pad isn't ideal.
Other than that, the key aspect that needs to be known about DS games on the 3DS is that the aspect ratio of the bottom screen is different, so the games are stretched out to fit the bottom screen. Since the top screen of the 3DS is wider, it only fills up the same amount of space as the bottom. This change makes games look just a little off in the same manner that Game Boy games looked weird stretched out on the Game Boy Advance, though not nearly as bad. Everything's functional, though, including touch screen-heavy games such as Elite Beat Agents.
You can, if you wish, hold the Start and Select buttons while selecting the game from the 3DS menu to have it display in the correct aspect ratio. However, it's so tiny that it just feels weird. Also, because of the small display, using the touch screen is weird, as nearly half of it isn't used.
If you're a purist, You might as well just stick with your old DS system to play those games. However, for most people, the stretched out DS games shouldn't be that much of an issue.

Tension in Kampala as Bobi Wine walks to Police
Opposition MPs on Wednesday joined their Kyadondo East counterpart Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine to walk to the Central Police Station (CPS) in Kampala in response to police summons.
The singer turned politician was summoned by the police following a protest he led last week against the recently introduced tax on social media and mobile money.
Summoning him through the Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga was the police’s last resort after he slipped through their hands on July 11 when they attempted to arrest him.
Bobi Wine first attended a press conference at Parliament which was called by the Leader of Opposition in Parliament Winnie Kiiza before the entire group walked from Parliament to CPS.
“He demonstrated peacefully and therefore owes no one an explanation,” Kiiza told journalists.
Several activists and boda boda cyclists joined the MPs as they walked out of Parliament’s gate onto Parliamentary Avenue to join Jinja Road down.
By the time they connected to Kampala Road, the crowd had grown bigger causing traffic delays and diversions.
Police tried to break up the procession but were restrained by Kiiza’s security detail.
Outside the CPS, police personnel took positions, threatening to use force to break up the procession.
The MPs were unfazed, they marched on, but were still blocked at the quarter guard resulting into a mini scuffle between the police and the MPs.
The police had wanted to lock out the rest of the MPs but the lawmakers insisted on going in with their colleague.
As the MPs walked in, the police turned to journalists roughing up a few as they forced their way into the police station.
Police meanwhile descended on the onlookers camped outside CPS and arrested at least five motorcyclists over traffic related offenses.
Some of the arrested cyclists were part of the crowd that came following the MPs while others were ordinary road users.


Samsung, Seat and SAP join forces to develop new connected cars
It seems that the South Korean technology company Samsung begins to show a clear interest in the cars of the future, as it is opening new avenues through agreements with other firms to enter this interesting market.
Precisely for this reason the company has created a team that is primarily responsible for the development of autonomous technologies, that is, for the self-driving of vehicles. These alliances of the South Korean company began to be seen last year when signing an agreement with the car manufacturer Seat. But now, also coinciding with the imminent start of the fair MWC 2016 in Barcelona, the incorporation of SAP, a leading company in business applications and networks.
Thanks to this recent union, in the Mobile World Congress 2016 The three companies are expected to introduce new concepts to users by tackling next-generation technologies, all through the knowledge and innovation of the three companies. Among these technological concepts we will see the fact of being able to pay without leaving the car, being able to do so by means of an authorization in the form of digital key, for instance. In the same way we will find the digital key, which we will have the possibility of sending through the mobile phone for a third party to have a fully functional copy.
On the other hand, work is being done on the remote control of certain sections of the vehicle such as the remote opening and closing of the vehicle’s doors and windows, or remotely activating the vehicle’s air conditioning system.
It must be borne in mind that SAP is a company especially focused on software for companies, business networks and the Internet of Things, sections of the utmost importance in the cars of the future. Therefore according to Injong Rhee, Executive Vice President and Head of R&D software Samsung affirms “The partnership of Samsung and SAP demonstrates our commitment to developing innovative solutions for the next level of the connected car.”
What is evident is that the three companies see that the connected car and the future autonomous car it will be a market that will open up a huge field of possibilities where this alliance intends to establish itself. Now we have to wait to see what they present at the fair that begins tomorrow in addition to the next few months to get a glimpse of the new technologies that they will offer us.
