Exhibition • Conference • Music • Special Visits • Spirituality • Community
Florence, ITALY: JUNE 14-26, 2014
The festival is dedicated to the people of Florence in celebrating the feast day of the city’s patron saint on 24th June. The last two years’ programs have offered a wide variety of events including contemporary sacred art exhibitions, interdisciplinary conferences and a symposium, several concerts of early Florentine music plus guided visits to locations venerating John the Baptist in the historic center. This year’s festival will in addition bring new events to involve and engage the community.
The Festival is a voluntary non-profit initiative designed to provide a forum for Florentine artists, musicians and academics – and to benefit in real terms the venues in which the events take place. The primary mission is to bring together Florentines and visitors in celebrating the inspiration of the city’s Patron Saint through communal cultural appreciation.
The festival is presented by the evolving collective i Buontalenti and is grateful for the patrocinio and support of the British Institute of Florence and Studio Art Centers International and The Florentine.
Once again there will be a sacred art exhibition Il Passato è Presente III at the Jules Maidoff Gallery – with thanks to the generous sponsorship of SACI. The third edition will run for an entire month from May 29th to June 26th and includes works by contemporary Florentine painters Antonio Ciccone, Alessandro Vannini, Caroline Jervis, Helen Bayley, Luca Rafanelli, Olivia Santiago and sculptor Jason Arkles.
The annual conference is on 20th June “Preparing the Way III – representing John the Baptist” This interdisciplinary event at The British Institute of Florence will include guest speakers restorer and SACI Conservation instructor, Dr. Roberta Lapucci PhD, art historian Jeremy Boudreau, MA, church archivist Penny Mittler MA, author Lisa Clifford and screenings of works by filmmaker David Battistella and Maestro Federico Maria Sardelli.
On Saturday 21st June, there will be a an evening of seicento Florentine music with the Cappella di Santa Maria degli Angiolini directed by Maestro Gian Luca Lastraioli, SACI’s History of Italian Opera instructor, presented in a space rarely open to the public thanks to the gracious generosity of the Conservatorio di Santa Maria degli Angeli. The festival closes on Thursday 26th June with “Currents: Music in Flux”. Cellist Judith Glyde and pianist/composer Antonio Artese join forces for a multi-sensorial program of classical gems and a suite of original compositions inspired by the primordial element of water. This will be presented at the Museo Stefano Bardini with participation of Master Perfumer Sileno Cheloni of Aqua Flor, Florence.
VISITS, COMMUNITY AND SPIRITUALITY
Community events with include guided visits and practical workshop activities at the Accademia d’Arte San Giovanni in San Frediano, private visits with master sculptors to view 700 years of restoration and reproduction at the Bottega dell’Opera del Duomo – and a guided visit to the Battistero & Orsanmichele with Alexandra Lawrence from The Florentine.
The spirituality of the Baptist will be celebrated in a Mass of the Solemnity of the Blessed Trinity with Fr. Scott Murphy LC in the Cappella degli Artisti (San Luca) at Basilica della Santissima Annunziata on Sunday 15th June.
We sincerely hope that you will join us in celebrating the continuing artistic and spiritual heritage of this unique city.

Vimto enjoyed the greatest improvement in Ad Awareness of any brand in KSA throughout the holy month of Ramadan. This achievement correlates with the brand’s current campaign, focusing on the connection between the brand and the holy month of Ramadan.
The campaign had a slightly different message this year, in line with the social distancing guidelines in place because of the Covid-19 outbreak. The brand’s digital Ramadan campaign focussed on bringing people together based on their shared enjoyment of Vimto, despite the distance between them. Instead of preparing the drink for a group to share in person, the digital advertisement shows people having a good time while consuming Vimto and sharing the experience virtually
The ad has over seven million views on YouTube and YouGov brand tracking data shows the campaign has resonated with the public, with its Ad Awareness score throughout May increasing by +9.6 points. Not only are people noticing the campaign, but it also appears to be contributing to increasing Impression perceptions of the brand (“Overall, of which of the following brands do you have a positive/negative impression?”), with the Impression score improving by 8.1 points throughout the month of May.

What do I need to know about living and working in Saarbrücken and the local region?
As a new member of staff, you may need to move into temporary accommodation when you relocate to Saarbrücken. The university may be able to offer you one of its guest houses These are small residential units located close to the university campus for one or two people that can be rented at an affordable rate until you have been able to find suitable long-term accommodation. As the number of properties is limited, please get in touch with the university at the earliest opportunity.
If you are looking to relocate permanently, we recommend looking for accommodation within the private sector. If you are based at the Saarbrücken campus, it’s worth looking for accommodation in the near vicinity. If you live in the following areas, you should be able to drive to campus in less than twenty minutes:
- Saarbrücken city; upmarket residential areas include St. Johann from the lower part of Eschberg up to Rothenbühl (area around the St. Johann cemetery up as far as Ilseplatz); St. Johann / Am Staden (from Staden on the banks of the River Saar up to Mainzer Straße and from Bismarckbrücke up to Straße des 13. Januar); the area around Saarbrücken Castle (Schloss); the residential area ‘Am Homburg’; the residential area ‘Scheidter Berg’
- Dudweiler – more upmarket accommodation is generally located in the area ‘Dudweiler Süd’
- St. Ingbert and its associated districts
- Other attractive options can be found somewhat farther away from the city in towns or villages such as Blieskastel, Spiesen-Elversberg, Mandelbachtal or just across the border in the French communes of Stiring-Wendel or Spicheren.
If you are based at the Homburg campus, we recommend looking for accommodation in Homburg itself or in the surrounding towns of Blieskastel, Kirkel, Zweibrücken or Neunkirchen.
If you would like to know more about using public transport in Saarland, please go to the website of the local public transport operator SaarVV where you will find ticket and timetable information.

Reigning champion Kyren Wilson resumes his bid to complete a hat-trick of Championship League titles as Stage Two continues in Leicester on Wednesday.
The Warrior came out on top in both events in Milton Keynes last season, beating Judd Trump and Mark Williams respectively.
Wilson subsequently became only the second player to win back-to-back titles since the tournament’s inception in 2008, after John Higgins achieved the feat in 2017 and 2018.
The world number six is now looking to join Trump on three titles and made a strong start to his bid in Stage One at the Morningside Arena; topping Group 16 with a 100 per cent record.
He will target more of the same as he headlines Group D alongside Matthew Stevens, Oliver Lines and Ken Doherty.
Two-time World finalist Stevens won this event back in 2011, beating Shaun Murphy in the final, and would love a repeat 10 years on.
Meanwhile, 1997 Crucible king Doherty is looking to reach the final day for the second time in three editions. As for Lines, he will aim to capitalise on his good fortune after topping Group 13 ahead of Peter Devlin, having compiled the higher break of the two players.
Over in Group C, 2015 finalist Mark Davis bids to go the extra step six years on, but faces competition from Noppon Saengkham, teenager Bai Langning and World Seniors champion David Lilley.
It is fair to say that Davis and Saengkham certainly earned the right to get to make it to Stage Two.
The Battler from Hastings beat two-time ranking event winner Anthony McGill on the way to finishing at the summit of Group 12, while world number 44 Saengkham topped Group Nine ahead of four-time Crucible champion Higgins.
The players face each other once in the group with all matches contested over the best of four frames.
Each player will receive three points for a win and one for a draw; the one with the most will top the group and secure a place in Stage Two of the competition.

It is really hard to think about the future of the book and not link it to the future of libraries. But increasingly it seems that this is something we must do. The nature of the book will change in many ways in the future, so will libraries, but I believe that the changes may not be exactly the same or connected.
Ebooks are of course at the the root of these thoughts. Ebooks seems such a transformative technology, but is in many ways an extremely conservative way of handeling digital literature.
Two years ago I was lucky enough to be involved in the creation of a Digital Literature project at the University of Bergen. The ELMCIP project opened my eyes to the extreme diversity that is possible for literature in digital form. Ebooks are basically just the paper book in a digital straight-jacket. Not that that is a problem as such, there is much to be said for a familiar image to make the transition more comfortable, but in reality it is the equivalent of the “horseless carriage” that eventually became the car.
So the future of the book looks to be one of many parts. Ebooks may dissapear as concept, replaced by digital texts, digital stories and digital literature. Of course the word digital will dissapear as well, and we will be left with… texts, stories, literature, just where we are today. The format you can access these texts, stories and literature will be multiple. As a digital file read on your screen of choice, ereader, tablet, mobile phone, PC-screen or as an overlay inside your glasses, or if you are a radical, a subsection of these texts, stories and literature will be avaliable to be printed on paper bound together in a sequence and inside a cover (probably printed on a POD-machine in a cafe, library or supermarket)
Where does libraries enter into this development? First, libraries have already moved away from paper books as the only supplier of texts, stories and literature. Some more than others, academic libraries are at the forefront, small rural public libraries are at the back of this development. But that might change in the near future.
Today libraries are trying out new formats in an abundance of creativity. Not just digital, but also physical formats are experimented with. Some libraries go for an expansion of the physical realm with collection of fishing rods, toys, power tools or computer equipment.
Some libraries experiment with digital formats, installing Microsoft surface tables for members to browse picture collections, or using QR codes to give access to digital content.
We need these experiments today, we need to push de boundaries of what it is possible for a library to do. For it is by doing this that we will know what works and what does not. What is possible and what is not. I applaud all my creative colleagues around the world for their courage and determination in this grand exploration of what the library can be.
What has changed for the book has not changed for the library. The core mission for libraries is still there, just with some twists. Collecting does not seem to be such a big thing any more (it’s all in the Cloud), describing is done better by others (google does it better?), delivery is a major commercial industry these days (Why don’t libraris do as netflix or Amazon?)
But the twists are still there. Collecting is done at the academic libraris more than ever. Today it is all about open archives and scholarly communication. Libraries are at the forefront in the conflict with the academic publishers.
I believe that this will also happen in the public library world. Not because there is a great monopolistic publisher cabal to fight, but because of the “great amnesia.”
There is so much content that are produced today that have a very limited (in numbers and time) audience, but that deserve to be collected, preserved and distributed to an future audience. Public libraries are ideally suited to this purpose. Most public libraries have great local networks and commnicate well with local content creators.
In the future the death of the local historian will no longer mean that most of his research and written material will dissapear when his unknowing relatives erase his harddisk and sell his PC. In the future a disc crash will no longer disable the genealogical research of the next door grandfather.
Because both will have stored their material in the “library cloud” in agreement with the local library who will curate and see that formats are kept up to date.
This is a part of the future of the library. The curator of nonpublished material. There are other roles as well emerging, like social integration of immigrants or school work support. All of which are equally important. But at the core it is about knowledge, as David R. Lankes writes in the Atlas of New Librarianship:

The new definition of lifting
96% Visible Lifting in just 75 minutes.
The Aging Process
Aging is a complex, multifactorial process where genetics and environmental factors play a role and is a result of (1) Reduced skin metabolism, (2) Glycation and (3) Oxidation.
Reduced skin metabolism
Fibroblasts are cells of the skin responsible for firmness and elasticity. As we age, activity of these cells slows down and progressively lose their function. Our skin thus becomes more fragile, resulting in wrinkles, sagging, loss of firmness and undefined contours.
Glycation occurs when the sugars in food we consume react with proteins and fats in an abnormal way, thus producing harmful molecules called “advanced glycation end productions” (AGEs). Collagen and elastin are the skin proteins most prone to glycation, leading them to become stiff, less flexible and more vulnerable - resulting in loss of volume, sagging facial shape and loss of elasticity.
Free radicals are highly unstable and reactive molecules that damage living cells. These come from everyday pollution (e.g. smog, UV rays) and other stressors (e.g. lack of sleep, stress, poor nutrition). When free radicals are in excess and our skin is not able to neutralize them with its own protection, the oxidative process occurs. This results in premature aging.
Lift Expert Treatment
Bearing in mind how aging occurs, the Lift Expert Treatment is specially crafted to combat premature aging. Using a unique face massage that instantly sharpens the face, reduces double chin and lifts up your facial contours, you can see 96% instant lift after the treatment.
Stimulates fibroblast activity in the deeper skin layers and collagen production
Ice Wine Extract
Refines the skin and increases its hydration level to reveal a youthful appearance.
Age Control Complex
Specially crafted with active ingredients such as the Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Carnosine, Lecithin and Tocopherol, the complex delays the glycation process. The actives also capture and neutralise free radicals before they damage the cells, protecting skin cells from oxidative stress and damage.
Clinical Evaluation Shows:
86% Wrinkles appear reduced
97% Skin appears firmer
100% Skin appears plumper
100% Facial Contours appear more defined

That tiara sits so naturally on her head!
The newest issue of the National Enquirer hath declared that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been named "King and Queen."
And because it has that gold sticker, it's totally official.
Someone in the Photoshop department let their kid handle the cover, because Catherine is wearing the Queen's Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, when everyone knows that a coronation calls for a state crown.
Anyhoo, the magazine alleges that the Queen is livid that the Duchess of Cornwall may have an Australian lovechild (who looks to be her age, if not older).
Therefore, she's abdicating on April 25th and opting for Prince William to be her heir instead of Prince Charles.
The story claims:
"Queen Elizabeth’s] furious her wimpy son and his evil wife are at the center of yet another mind-boggling scandal, she’s forever banned them from ever taking the Crown."
The creepiest part of this entire story alleges that the coronation date will be August 31st, the anniversary of Princess Diana's death.
Her Majesty “recently confessed she was wrong about Princess Diana and wished she could ask for her forgiveness.”
The Cambridges were told the news right before their royal trip to India and Bhutan, and though they didn't expect to ascend the throne this soon, “[Kate and William] adore the Queen and are ready to do whatever she asks.”
The story also claims that Camilla is PIASSED about being overlooked in favor of her stepson and his wife, and she's been drinking like a fish.
She's even on a "ruthless campaign to make herself queen."
Unfortunately for the National Enquirer, the Queen and Camilla actually have a good relationship these days, though it did take Her Majesty awhile to warm up to the idea that Camilla and Charles were meant to be together.
You don't have to confirm with Kensington Palace to realize that this story is not only wrong, it's a little messed up.
A coronation on the anniversary of William's mother's death?
Come on, you guys. Be better humans.

Right Wing Leftovers - 9/26/12
Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Wednesday, 9/26/2012 5:32 pm
- There is an election coming, so that means we will be seeing various Religious Right coalitions organizing redundant prayer efforts.
- CitizenLink thinks a video of President Obama talking about the importance of religious liberty is really an effort to use religion as a wedge issue.
- Tommy Thompson says he'll make a great Senator because "who better than me, who's already finished one of the entitlement programs, to come up with programs to do away with Medicaid and Medicare?"
- Newt Gingrich says Obama "is like the substitute referees in the sense that he’s not a real president. He doesn’t do anything that presidents do, he doesn’t worry about any of the things the presidents do."
- Apparently, illegally uploading copies of "2016" is part of an effort to "to drive viewers away from the theatrical showing of the successful documentary." So I guess illegally uploading copies of "The Avengers" is an attempt to keep people from seeing "The Avengers"?
- Finally, Cindy Jacobs says prayer alone isn't enough; it must be accompanied by action, which is they are calling for "prayer activism" ahead of the election.

THE DEBUT E.P RELEASE ‘MY CROOKED SAINT E.P’ OUT 17th OCTOBER 2011
HEADLINE LONDON SHOW AND FULL U.K TOUR SUPPORTING WAKEY WAKEY
TO KILL A KING ARE;
Ralph Pelleymounter (vocals/acoustic guitar)
Josh Platman (bass)
Jon Willoughby (drums)
Ian Dudfield (electric guitar)
Ben Jackson (synths and keys)
Virgin Records are proud to announce the debut E.P by To Kill A King entitled ‘My Crooked Saint E.P’ released on 17th October 2011.
You’ll want to meet To Kill A King and their magnificent songwriter Ralph Pelleymounter. Their songs are lyrically dense; stories that explore complicated emotional landscapes, yet they remain direct and their harmonies simple. Their music has the quiet, powerful reserve of The National or even Red House Painters, but it’s a reserve mixed with a liquid, rhythmical, joyous touch that recalls Arcade Fire, or the raw, euphoric drive of Mumford And Sons. The startling part of it all though is that at any one moment, they can sound like all of them or none of them. They are unique, and as a consequence, quite stunning. Best of all, they’ve only just begun.
The bandformed in early 2010. Lead vocalist Ralph Pelleymounter met Ian Dudfield and Josh Platman whilst studying at Leeds University. After playing in bands in various guises the founding members moved to London where they were joined by Jon Willoughby and Ben Jackson and the line up was complete. With regards to the band’s name Ralph says, “It came from a line in Hamlet. I liked the idea of Claudius killing King Hamlet by pouring poison into his ear – and how that relates to music.”
Within months they had made a video for a track called ‘Cold Skin’ and recorded their recently released debut single entitled ‘Fictional State’. Management and record labels began getting in touch almost immediately. They played a few stellar shows at the Communion label nights at the Notting Hill Arts Club, run by Mumford and Sons’ keyboardist Ben Lovett and Cherbourg bassist Kevin Jones and it was Communion who released their debut single, the aforementioned ‘Fictional State’, a brutally beautiful tale of refusing to face the biggest responsibility of all.
Now there are the songs on the glorious ‘My Crooked Saint E.P’; Bloody Shirt, We Used To Protest, Family and Wrecking Crew, four stunning tales articulating Ralph’s unique observations of life.
To Kill a King are an extraordinary band; bold haunting vocals, outstanding harmonies, and powerful emotive storytelling lyrics, this is a band that will get under your skin.
Following their shows at the various Communion label nights across the country, To Kill A King play a London show in September followed by a UK tour supporting Brooklyn based indie pop band Wakey Wakey. Dates as follows;
God is in the TV is an online music and culture fanzine founded in Cardiff by the editor Bill Cummings in 2003.

Update as of April 18, 2011: Another web site, gaywrites.org, has covered the defeat of an anti-gay adoption bill.
An article on nowingaychicago.com highlights the defeat of an anti-gay adoption bill that would have weakened the civil unions law. The success came as the result of the hard work of activists such as Equality Illinois, The Civil Rights Agenda, the ACLU of Illinois, state Rep. Greg Harris (D-Chicago) and longtime activist Rick Garcia who waged a fierce lobbying campaign against it.
“Illinois stands tall today,” said Harris, who was chief sponsor of the civil unions bill. “I think that once more Illinois has shown that we value equal justice under the law.”
The bill, an amendment to Illinois Senate Bill 1123 that was slipped in late April 11, would have allowed adoption agencies supported by state tax dollars to deny adoptions to gay and lesbian couples united by a civil union if such adoptions go against that agency's “sincerely held religious beliefs” regarding gays and lesbians.
The amendment was sponsored by Sen. David Koehler (D-Pekin), who was chief Senate sponsor of the civil unions bill that passed last fall. Koehler said the adoption amendment was to fulfill a pledge he made to some senators during the civil unions debate that he would support additional legislation to address concerns they had about the effect civil unions would have on religious groups.

"Dustin has done a lot of good things, he's improved a lot," head coach Bret Bielema said. "I think if you look at where he is today from where he was a year ago at this time, he's significantly better. That got me excited, but on the same account, I saw a guy, Curt Phillips, go out there and do some things. I know he can do some things with his feet, but to see what he did today in the passing game made a big statement to me."

Work Zone Distracted Driving
October 11, 2019
The number of accidents and traffic fatalities that occur due to distracted driving have increased over the last decade, according to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA). The administration reports that in 2017 alone, 3,166 people were fatally injured in distracted driving accidents. In many of those accidents, drivers were using handheld cell phones. Work zones are particularly dangerous places to be when it comes to these types of accidents – distracted drivers are liable to crash into sites when they fail to notice warning signs or detours, consequently injuring or killing nearby workers.
Distracted Driving and Work Zones
People are more distracted on the roads now than ever, since the introduction of smartphones and navigation technology. When drivers are texting on their phones or using in-vehicle technology, they put work zone employees at risk. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drivers take their eyes off the road for approximately five seconds when reading or sending a text – long enough to cover the length of a football field when traveling 55 miles per hour.
The NHTSA reports that from 2013 to 2016, there was a 28 percent increase in highway work zone fatalities, many of which were due to distracted driving accidents. Construction workers and others performing operations and maintenance activities may also be seriously injured in distracted driving crashes. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in 2017 alone, there were 1,778 work zone crashes in Pennsylvania which resulted in both fatal and non-fatal injuries such as amputations, broken bones, paralysis, and traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
Drivers Knowingly Engage in Risky Behavior
According to a recent study conducted by the AAA, most drivers are aware of the dangers associated with distracted driving, namely:
- Diminished situational awareness
- Delayed reaction time
- Inability to recognize and obey traffic signals, including work zone signs
However, the survey also reveals that although 78 percent of drivers believe texting is a significant danger to themselves and others on the road, 35 percent had still sent a text or an email while driving in the last 30 days. Also, while 58 percent said that talking on a cellphone is a serious threat to personal safety, 49 percent still reported talking on the phone while driving within the last 30 days.
A recent study published in the Journal of Legal Affairs and Dispute Resolution in Engineering and Construction provides additional evidence to support the conclusion that drivers engage in distracting behaviors while driving despite knowing that distracted driving is dangerous. According to the study, at least 50 percent of drivers perform activities that distract them from the road even though they know they are engaging in risky behavior.
In Pennsylvania, injured workers may be entitled to compensation regardless of who was at fault for the accident. If you were injured in a work zone, contact a local attorney to discuss your case and ensure that your rights are protected.

Jordan Eberle scored twice in regulation and Rob Klinkhammer scored in the 13th round of the shootout to help the Edmonton Oilers snap a 15-game losing streak in California by beating the San Jose Sharks 5-4 on Monday night.
Justin Schultz tied the game with 2:37 remaining and Derek Roy also scored for the Oilers, who last won in the Golden State on April 1, 2012, when they beat Anaheim 2-1.
Edmonton had since lost five games each in San Jose, Los Angeles and Anaheim before breaking through against the Sharks.
Viktor Fasth made 33 saves, robbing Joe Pavelski of a potential hat trick in the closing seconds of regulation and stopping 12 of 13 shots in the shootout.
Scott Hannan and Matt Tennyson also scored for the Sharks, who had a three-game winning streak snapped to provide a dismal ending to what had been a strong seven-game homestand.

Some in Congress and across the country have wanted to defund Planned Parenthood for a long time now because they are a vile and despicable organization who have reigned abuse on Americans for decades.
And that was BEFORE the outrageous videos came out last week that show they harvest dead baby body parts.
Advertisement - story continues below
Planned Parenthood should be defunded for many reasons but the Daily Signal provides 8 to help move Bonehead along. Here are a few of them:
House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday that he needs “more facts” before using the appropriations process to end federal funding to Planned Parenthood. The most recent reports of harvesting and selling body parts from aborted unborn babies have renewed the call to end the more than half a billion dollars that the organization receives in government funding each year.
Planned Parenthood Has Become a Billion-Dollar Organization on the Backs of Taxpayers
Planned Parenthood has ridden the waves of taxpayer funding to millions of dollars in annual surpluses. During its last reporting year, like many before it, the organization reported revenues over expenses exceeding $127 million and net assets of more than $1.4 billion. During that same year, Planned Parenthood received over $528 million in taxpayer-funded grants and reimbursements from federal and state coffers – 41 percent of the organization’s total revenue. As a Government Accountability Office report released this past March demonstrates, a large portion of that taxpayer money comes from a variety of federal sources, including Title X and Medicaid.
Planned Parenthood Has Been Accused of Financial Fraud with Taxpayer Dollars
Planned Parenthood affiliates have been accused of potential fraud when it comes to government reimbursements for services. In 2013, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast agreed to pay an over $4 million settlement for Medicaid fraud according to the Texas Attorney General. Summaries of state audits of family planning programs have indicated similar abuse and fraudulent practices by Planned Parenthood affiliates to the tune of over $8 million across 9 states.
Planned Parenthood Fights Commonsense Laws that Protect Women and Children
Along with its many challenges to commonsense state laws regulating abortion doctors and clinics and fighting a bill in Congress to limit dangerous and gruesome late-term abortions, Planned Parenthood has even opposed legislation that would protect infants born alive after failed abortions. More recently, Planned Parenthood was involved in attempts to derail an anti-human trafficking bill in Congress because the legislation included a longstanding and widely-supported policy against taxpayer funding of abortion.
Women Can Receive Wider Range of Care at Other Centers
Health care services are already being provided for those who need them without unethical practices or entanglement in abortion. More than 2,000 pregnancy centers provide medical testing, prenatal care, ultrasounds and child-birth classes, among other services to women facing unplanned pregnancies, empowering them with life-affirming options.
In addition to those resources specifically for pregnant women, the federal government funds roughly 1,200 federally qualified health clinics across the country that served 21 million people in 2012 alone and often provide birth control options, cancer screenings and women’s health exams, not to mention a wide-range of primary health services for women, children and men.
There are a slew of other reasons as well but the point is that Boehner has got to have something seriously wrong in his brain to not want to defund Planned Parenthood.
It’s not about being pro-choice or pro-life. It’s not even about abortion.
Advertisement - story continues below
It’s about TAXPAYER dollars being doled out to an organization that abuses the very people who are providing that money to them.
It’s about taking tax dollars away from one of the most vile and despicable organizations in the country.
Why in the hell does Boehner need more facts to do the right thing?

Abstract: Noise and vibrations transmitted through the tyre then, subsequently, the suspension has a major impact on the overall ride quality in a passenger vehicle. Much work has been done in the past to evaluate ride comfort subjectively, but recent years have seen a marked increase in the development of objective/analytical methods. The following paper presents a method to mathematically separate the vibrational properties of the tyre and the suspension in order to further understand the mechanism of vibration transmission between the two. Frequency based substructuring (FBS) techniques will be used to decouple the tyre subsystem from the suspension subsystem. In this work, these FBS techniques are applied first to decouple the equations of motion of a simple quarter car system as a proof of concept. Then, a more generalised approach is taken which will be applicable to experimental data.
Keywords: quarter car; frequency based substructuring; FBS; decoupling; tyre; suspension; noise; vibration; ride comfort.

The estampie is usually thought of as an instrumental genre, but the ones in Douce 308 survive as extensive (and complicated) poetic texts. My essay attempts to glean what we can about their musical form from these unnotated and unique traces (none of the Douce 308 estampies has any concordances). I argue, ultimately, that these vocal estampies are closer to the surviving notated instrumental versions that people have previously believed.
The fifth song in the grands chants is unique to Douce 308 and is thus transmitted to us without any melody. However, its versification makes it possible to sing it to the tune of a song with a similar poetic structure.Continue reading “Putting a tune to a tuneless song”


We live in a world in which man‐made chemicals have become a part of the life. It is impossible to imagine any products which can be manufactured without the use of chemical. However though many of the chemicals are useful and beneficial but some of the chemicals are highly toxics and are extremely harmful to human health and environment. Further some of these chemicals can affect the endocrine (hormonal) system and interfere with important developmental processes in humans and wildlife species. These chemicals are mostly termed as the Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs).
Endocrine disruptors are chemicals generally known to interfere with hormone action by altering the endocrine system thus having adverse impact on the human beings and other fauna including wild life. After carefully analyzing the scientific research conducted across the globe, the International Program on Chemical Safety (IPCS), a joint program of WHO, UNEP and International Labor Organization constructed the definition of EDC:
The United Nation Environmental Program (UNEP) and World Health Organization (WHO) in the document “The state of Science of Endocrine Disputing Chmeicals-2012, presents information and key concerns on the impact of endocrine disrupting chemicals on human health and environment.
The Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) was established by the International Conference on Chemicals Management in February 2006, with the overall objective to achieve the sound management of chemicals throughout their lifecycle so that, by 2020, chemicals are used and produced in ways that minimize significant adverse effects on human health and the environment. In the SAICM, EDC has been considered as an emerging issue and urged the nations to take appropriate action to mitigate the chemicals to minimize the impact on environment and health.
Research and Advocacy:
The issues of EDCs have been a global issue and the countries across the globe are trying to phase out these chemical from the products as far as possible. However in India the public information on EDC is very limited though India is one of the biggest markets for the chemical use. To enhance the public information and the desired policy changes, Toxics Link initiated its work to explore more on EDCs in baby products with the launch of first report titled “Bottles can be toxics – an investigative study on BPA in baby feeding bottles in India 2014” this was followed with two other reports i.e., “Endocrine Disruptive Chemicals (EDCs) in Personal Care Products – 2016” and “Beware of Toxic Sippy Cups - An Investigative study on Bisphenol - A (BPA) in Sippy cups in India -2016.” These studies are first of its kind report on EDCs on Indian context and have been able to generate interest of the concern stakeholders in India. Further Toxics Link also organized a conference on Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals involving the policymakers, scientists, public interest groups to draw a future road map in Indian context.
Toxics Link has also developed fact sheets factsheets and other IEC materials for creating mass awareness on EDCs and their health and environmental impact.
Toxics Link also raised the issue of BPA in baby feeding bottles with the parliamentarians and the concern ministry including the Consumer Ministry and Bureau of Indian Standards. The issue was also raised and discussed in the parliament of India. Toxics Link was persistently engaged with the Bureau of Indian Standards to create regulations and resulting ban the use of BPA in the baby feeding bottles in India since 2014.
Bisphenol A (BPA) belongs to the group of diphenylmethane derivatives and Bisphenols. BPA was first synthesized in 1881 and is primarily used as a monomer in the manufacture of polycarbonates, a high performance transparent, rigid plastic...Explore More

The Great Indian Kitchen should have been titled the ” The Great Indian Trick”. The trick that allows an the men in Indian households to treat their women as maids for life or even worse than that. The trick that allows men to get away with evils of patriarchy.
The film itself thrives on the art of deception. Jeo lures us with mouth watering food before unraveling the horror show right in front of our eyes. Yes, the actual horror films are not the ones involving the devil. It is films like this which manage to shake us up and forces us to reflect. The last film that gave me such nightmares was ” The Wife”. I muttered to myself that I should not be the man that I saw in the film. I did the same thing again after watching ” The Great Indian Kitchen”. It was a very hard reality check.
The film doesn’t show much in terms of events or sequences in the film. All that we get are mouth watering food and the waste that is thrown away after eating. If it was just a one off sequence we would have barely noticed it. But the sequences are repeated until it leaves the desired impact on the audience.
I haven’t come across an Indian film like this in recent years. Even in films which are supposedly progressive and speak up for women there are a thousand different excuses to sugarcoat the obvious. But the Great Indian Kitchen does nothing of that sort. There’s no holding back.
In a society which has been clinging onto patriarchy for generations one film like The Great Indian Kitchen is not enough. Much like the evils of patriarchy which go on like an endless loop there is a need for more profound statements like this one in the visual medium.
For now the ” The Great Indian Kitchen” is a rousing start. Available on NeeStream Platform.

We went back to the Christian Life Centre on Cowley Road for another Zumbathon.
We had a great time, and even though we, as a group, did not have a featured dance on stage this time …
We joined a crowd of Zumba enthusiasts and instructors to raise money for Children in Need at the Christian Life Centre on Cowley Road.
George Martini came, and we had another great Zumba session, which included two routines which we will perform at the Zumathon in December.
Here we are, with a mixture of dance styles – having a good time.
We always enjoy Zumba, and George Martini had us try some dances in a different style, rather like a cross between the Zumba we had been doing and the Wheelchair Dance we did in February.
Here we are in action !
As well as dances in lines there were dances in a circle – this one was taken while dancing, so the room as well as the dancers seems to be moving !
We even did a tango – but participating and filming a circle dance is possible, but a tango would be too tricky !
We all really enjoyed the session and look forward to more Zumba in future.
About 20 Oxfordshire Zuma instructors held a Zumba fundraising evening at the Christian Life Centre on Cowley Road. The money raised went to various local cancer organisations.
Oxford Phab were very glad to have a chance to participate in this event.
Once again George Martini came to lead us – we look forward to his sessions.
Zumba can be very fast,
Sometimes it is a little slower.
But it is always fun !
Once again George Martini came and did a Zumba session with us.
A great session as always
Oxford Phab held a Zumbathon onÂ Saturday June 20th 2015
Our poster for the event is here zumba fundraising event.pub – Please print it and display it, or forward it to anyone you know who may be interested.
Zumba is a popular activity on club nights, but for this fundraising event we want others to come, have fun, get fitter, and contribute to our club funds !
There will be Stalls and Refreshments from 10am to 1pm, and Zumba from 11am until 12:30pm
In the end we raised over Â£400 for club funds – thank you to everyone who contributed or took part, particularly to George and his friends.

Ghanaian musician and actress Diamond Appiah after a long break from showbiz to focus on her political career has made a major comeback from the hiatus.
Zionfelix.net is told that Diamond during the break to engage in politics was also busy on set shooting movies. After months on set working with top African actors, the controversial singer’s production house, Diamond Appiah Production is ready to release its first movie. One of the films Diamond Appiah shot whilst away is titled ‘Superstar’ which we are told is about Dr. Osei Kwame Despite, C.E.O Of Despite Group of Companies and his brother Dr. Ofori Sarpong.
The ‘Superstar’ movie the source said is to honour the two business moguls who have employed thousands of Ghanaians. The film expected to be premiered soon features renowned Ghanaian actors like Akrobeto, Auntie B, Akyerebruwa, Vicky Zugah and many others.
Little is known about the ‘Superstar’ movie but we are sure Diamond Appiah’s self-produced movie will be about the challenges the two business moguls faced when growing up in Ghana.

Go online and look at these ridiculously huge wonderful cages that you know are totally impractical for the amount of space you have and are super expensive and you know you will never get, but can't stop imagining HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE if i set up the toys like so...
. I personally find these ones to be SUPER COOL

I will be getting a new cage for the cockatiels next year and have started looking around at the pet shops but the spacing between the bars is too wide and I can just imagine getting a cockatiel head caught. I also want to get a small outdoor aviary for them so they can spend some time outside in summer. Still tossing up whether to get His Royal Grouchiness a new cage. He doesnt do well with change - and he is in for a very big change next year
Post by Jan and Shah on Jun 18, 2015 19:41:35 GMT -5
There are a couple of pet shops in the Sydney region that specialise in birds and have great cages - expensive but very suitable for smaller birds. Of course, that's no use to you - but keep looking around. You are bound to find something.
Yeah, I would love to have a big cage like that for Cupcake but we live in an apartment... We still have a pretty big cage for her, although ironically she really likes the small sleep cage she has so she often just uses that. But our big cage is nothing like those huge ones you posted. That would be awesome.
We are lucky in that we own our house (nothing flash) with a smallish back yard big enough for two small aviaries. My hubby built one of them from scratch (it's a triangle shape across one corner of the backyard) and we bought the other one, but it cost $675 and we had to borrow a vehicle to get it home. You might be best buying online, as most of the ads state the bar spacing measurements and everything else...sometimes you get more info in writing than you might buying in person. Those cages sure do look wonderful!

I wound up buying a budgie/tiel flight cage for Mr P. It's big and the bars have the appropriate spacing. The bars *are* a little flimsy but Mr P's toys aren't that heavy. Also, you can really only access the food dishes from the inside which is kinda stupid for a flight cage. This isn't an issue for me as Mr P stays out of his cage all day anyway and I tend to his food and water while he's out.
I got it from Amazon, semi pain in the rear to assemble, but he loves it. I put all his favorite toys on the "lower level" and his food, water and hut on the upper level so he is forced to climb all over to play or eat, using the entire cage.
The link is posted in Aaron's post about a new cage for Cupcake.
My personal fantasy is to turn the whole bird room into an aviary, with lots of tiled surfaces and a drain in the center of the floor. Well appointed with greenery, baths,ropes, swings, toys, etc. I do have a room devoted to them, but it doesn't get a lot of natural light, and they currently just sleep there.
Quaker Peppy (RIP my sweet pea), CAG Allie, dogs Wanda and Bonnie, feral kitties Cleo and Antoinette, mice Charlotte and Emily, née Jake and Elwood
Mine have their own room and are out of their cages all day except to sleep, with very rare exceptions (the installation of a new water heater was one; that's in a closet in their room). So I don't stress about their cages, though everyone except Benjy has a nice big cage already. Benjy's is small but since he only sleeps in it, and he's pretty small, I don't worry about it. However, Rocky 'Too has what was once a marvelous and very expensive California Cage, but it's had a hard life (as has Rocky) and it's showing its age. I have been doing some window shopping for a new cage for him, which isn't going to happen for some time yet, but I want to know what's available and what it's going to cost. He's smart and an escape artist so it has to be very sturdy. Because he's in the living room and not a bird room, we have to be able to lock him in on occasion.

This Tractor model represents a historical machine of the early 19th century, when steam engines were used. The WOODEN.CITY Tractor doesn’t have any electronics. It’s made from finest plywood, connected by toothpicks, and motorized by the rubber bands.
Let’s start working in agriculture and constriction with this WOODEN.CITY Tractor model.


According to our latest market study, titled “AIOps Platform Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis – by component, deployment, organization size, and Vertical,” the AIOps platform market size is projected to reach US$ 19,933.5 million by 2028 from US$ 2,831.2 million in 2021. It is expected to rise at a CAGR of 32.2% from 2021 to 2028.
Increasing Global Data Driving AIOps Platform Market Growth
According to the annual DataSphere and StorageSphere study, published by International Data Corporation (IDC) in 2021, the quantity of data created, recorded, duplicated, and consumed worldwide increased from 1.2 trillion gigabytes to 59 trillion gigabytes between 2010 and 2020. It is projected to reach more than 180 zettabytes by 2025.
This growth is attributed to the enormous increase in people working, studying, and researching. However, based on the IDC report, only 2% of the data was saved and kept until 2021; the remainder was either produced or copied solely for utilization or cached and overwritten with newer data. As a result, businesses are increasingly turning to automation to manage these massive amounts of data. Digitalization is critical for every firm looking to resume business operations and profit from changing conditions.
Key Players Influencing the Market

- Broadcom Inc
- Dynatrace LLC
- HCL Technologies Limited
- Micro Focus
- Moogsoft Inc.
- Resolve Systems, LLC
- Splunk Inc.
Having more data helps the company confirm its product and opens up new revenue streams in its overburdened product portfolios. As a result, AI is projected to play a significant role in bifurcating data and offering profitable insights, propelling the global AIOps platform market share.
AIOps solutions have only recently begun to integrate with observability platforms. This allows IT departments to grasp on company’s data and systems. It enables companies to collect actionable data and improve diagnosis. Observability platforms can also draw diverse data and connect the dots between them by looking at metrics, dependencies, and logs. Customer experience, workforce productivity, and overall digital infrastructure are the three components of the protocol. This methodology gives a better understanding of how the company is performing. Also, IT teams may shorten the time to predict and fix problems by introducing AIOps into observability platforms before affecting organizations. In the future, companies are expected to automatically analyze data streams and turn them into actionable insights in real-time.

CD20 Rat anti-Mouse, PE, Clone: QCH6A7, eBioscience™
Rat Monoclonal Antibody
Brand: Affymetrix eBioscience 12-0203-80
Code : NEW
Additional Details : Weight : 0.09500kg
DescriptionThe monoclonal antibody QCH6A7 reacts with mouse CD20. CD20 is a B cell specific, 32kDa membrane protein that is expressed on late pro-B cells through memory B cells in the B cell lineage. CD20 is not found on hematopoietic stem cells, early pro-B cells or later mature plasma cells. CD20 is involved in intracellular calcium regulation and plays a role in B cell proliferation. CD20 is intially expressed after the induction of CD19 during development and is coexpressed with IgM during the pre-B to immature B cell transition in bone marrow. Expression of CD20 increases during maturation with almost all mature B cells expressing some level of CD20. Unlike other B cell antigens, CD20 is not shed or internalized upon antibody binding. Monoclonal antibodies against the CD20 antigen may be used to deplete B cells and CD20 has proven to be an effective immunotheraputic target in B cell lymphomas and several autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and type I diabetes. CD20 consists of 4 transmembrane domains and a 44 amino acid extracellular domain which contains the QCH6A7 epitope.
Staining with clone QCH6A7 provides significantly improved staining intensity compared to clone AISB12 in flow cytometric assays.
|Store at 2-8°C. Do not freeze. Light-sensitive material.|
|aqueous buffer, 0.09% sodium azide, may contain carrier protein/stabilizer|

Using Smooth-On’s skin-safe mold-making materials, we managed to pull a silicone cast of a baku head that I made out of Sculpey.
Using good ‘ol plaster of paris, we managed to make a plaster baku head.
Conclusion the First: Not terribly easy, not terribly hard. We’ve pulled two plaster heads, one marginally more successful than the other, and they came out…okay. Despite our best efforts, we’ve got air bubbles in the mold that leave blobs of plaster that have to be sanded off, and there were big overruns in the back, so each plaster piece requires extensive retouching with the Dremel and some touch-ups with Apoxie.
Conclusion the Second: This was a stupidly ambitious design. Kevin wants to retry it as a two part mold. I’m going to try another version that involves really cheap silicone caulk, as recommended by my stepfather, and see if I can’t get a more perfect mold.
Conclusion the Third: Barring radical success of those projects, and owing to sheer difficulty of casting this particular design—tapir snouts, who knew?—and all the post-processing required, the Baku at least may be an art-show only kinda thing, where I do maybe three, four, five, with different paint jobs. Since my ultimate goal is to mass-produce a couple of designs sufficiently to offer at the table or on-line…well, still working. I’m gonna have to try something much less insane, like a happy platypus. (Mmm…platypus…)
Conclusion the Fourth: Not entirely sure about plaster. It’s easy to work with, and the end results have a lot of heft, but they’re still kinda fragile objects. On the other hand, the commercially available resins and whatnot are REALLY expensive. May have to try Hydrocal, which is used to make lawn ornaments, and supposed to be a little tougher.
I can see the plaster working okay for a thing hung on the wall, but not for something that sits on your desk. We’ll see how the painted versions come out…

Sustainability, Social Justice, and Religious Creativity
The Future of Ethics interprets the big questions of sustainability and social justice through the practical problems arising from humanity’s increasing power over basic systems of life. What does climate change mean for our obligations to future generations? How can the sciences work with pluralist cultures in ways that will help societies learn from ecological change?
Traditional religious ethics examines texts and traditions and highlights principles and virtuous behaviors that can apply to particular issues. Willis Jenkins develops lines of practical inquiry through "prophetic pragmatism," an approach to ethics that begins with concrete problems and adapts to changing circumstances. This brand of pragmatism takes its cues from liberationist theology, with its emphasis on how individuals and communities actually cope with overwhelming problems.
Can religious communities make a difference when dealing with these issues? By integrating environmental sciences and theological ethics into problem-based engagements with philosophy, economics, and other disciplines, Jenkins illustrates the wide understanding and moral creativity needed to live well in the new conditions of human power. He shows the significance of religious thought to the development of interdisciplinary responses to sustainability issues and how this calls for a new style of religious ethics.
Introduction: Ethics in the Anthropocene
1. Atmospheric Powers: Climate Change and Moral Incompetence
2. Christian Ethics and Unprecedented Problems
3. Global Ethics: Moral Pluralism and Planetary Problems
4. Sustainability Science and the Ethics of Wicked Problems
5. Toxic Wombs and the Ecology of Justice
6. Impoverishment and the Economy of Desire
7. Intergenerational Risk and the Future of Love
Afterword: Sustaining Grace
"An impressive work of multidisciplinary scholarship. . . In its multidisciplinary scope, Jenkins’ book models the kind of thinking that is increasingly necessary to address problems that are global, multiscalar, and intertemporal. Readers will benefit not only from the range of sources cited in the footnotes and the masterful syntheses of information on complex socioecological problems, but also the evident moral seriousness that Jenkins brings to his task."—Worldviews: Global Religions, Culture, and Ecology
"This book’s strength is its scope, which encompasses theology, international human rights law, and innovative approaches to ethical thinking about problems that cross cultural and religious boundaries. Students of Christian ethics – especially those concerned with the links between religion and environmental advocacy/action – will find this extraordinary book very worthwhile."—Choice
"This pragmatic book will appeal . . . to ethicisit-activists . . . [and] anyone who is frustrated by our seeming inability to undertake effective constructive action on the environmental problems plaguing us today. . . . Fine addition to the conversation."—Anglican Theological Review
"Represents a compelling response to the unprecedented problems of climate change . . . charts a challenging new course for religious ethics. . . . Jenkins extends an invitation that other ethicists would do well to accept; in any case, his argument is convincing enough that they will be compelled to respond to it."—Sewanee Theological Review
"Willis Jenkins has written a brilliant and challenging book that deserves a wide readership. His penetrating question, 'What shall we sustain and why?' rings true as a humane call for ever-more engaged reflection from ethicists and environmentalists interested in the future of our shared planetary life."—Mary Evelyn Tucker, Forum on Religion and Ecology, Yale University
"When first I saw the title, The Future of Ethics, I thought it overwrought, if not pretentious. Then I read the book. This is a major, far-reaching, even indispensable, work, for the present as well as the future. Yes, I have my arguments with Jenkins. But if he is as instructed by my exchange as I am by his, both of us will be the wiser about what counts most—achieving a viable way of life for a planet in jeopardy at human hands."—Larry Rasmussen, Reinhold Niebuhr Professor Emeritus of Social Ethics, Union Theological Seminary, New York City
"Rather than a book of despair, Jenkins argues for the possibility of religious ethics charting new strategies of moral agency by working within the traditions that form constantly shifting communities to meet the challenges of climate change and sustainability. Carefully argued, creative, and well-written, Jenkins challenges assumptions. This is a must read book."—Emilie Townes, Dean and Carpenter Distinguished Professor of Ethics and Society, Vanderbilt Divinity School
Winner of the American Academy of Religion's 2014 Award for Excellence in the Constructive-Reflective Studies category. One of Choice Magazine's 2014 Outstanding Academic Titles.
Willis Jenkins is associate professor of religious studies, University of Virginia. He is the author of Ecologies of Grace: Environmental Ethics and Christian Theology, which won the 2009 Templeton Prize for Theological Promise.

The UC San Diego Library is featuring an exhibition of original drawings and sketches by Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, in the exhibit gallery on the main floor of Geisel Library. “Dr. Seuss’s Boids & Beasties” showcases his whimsical and fantastical creatures and creative talent.
Dr. Seuss was born on March 2, 1904. A long-time resident of La Jolla, his personal collection of drawings, scrapbooks, sketches and other works were donated to UC San Diego after his death in 1991 – a gift of his widow, Audrey Geisel.
Beloved by millions of children and grown-up children, Dr. Seuss’s books have entertained and educated for more than a half a century. In fabricating tales and bringing fantastic creatures to life in the imaginations of young and old alike, he has given us Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, the Grinch, Yertle the Turtle, the Lorax, the Sneetches and many more such memorable characters. His style of flamboyant, colorful illustrations and clever but simple rhymes has made his work recognizable throughout the world.
Less well known perhaps are Theodor Seuss Geisel’s early careers as an advertising and commercial artist in the 1920s and 1930s, and as an editorial cartoonist in the 1940s. “Dr. Seuss’s Boids & Beasties” draws from UC San Diego’s Dr. Seuss Collection to illustrate all aspects of Geisel’s work. Also featured in the exhibition are some of his paintings and sculptures, examples from his highly successful decades as an advertising and magazine artist, and his amusing but pointed political cartoons from the days leading up to and during America’s involvement in World War II.
Boids & Beasties is Geisel’s own term for his fantastical creatures.

The Chicago Bulls have a decision to make about their big men, and it appears that they would like to re-sign Joakim Noah on a short-term deal.
Noah has been a favorite player of the city and ambassador of Jerry Reinsdorf, while being a true positive for the people of Chicago.
According to Chicago Tribune’s K.C Johnson — The Bulls are more likely to part ways with Pau Gasol this offseason and proceed with the long-time Bull Noah.
Though front-office meetings have yet to finalize the Bulls’ Plan A for this offseason, there is strong internal desire to re-sign Noah on a short-term deal. Noah long has been a favorite player and ambassador of Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. Executive vice president John Paxson drafted Noah, and their bond is genuine.
It will take work, not to mention money, to win back Noah, who disliked the false story Fred Hoiberg spread at the start of the season that he volunteered to come off the bench. He then disliked playing just 20 minutes per game and not finishing them more.
But Hoiberg had started to play Noah more before his first shoulder injury in December. And Noah remains invested enough in the team to question Jimmy Butler and Derrick Rose for their silence at the April 3 team meeting, according to several people present.
Hoiberg’s bold decision to start Nikola Mirotic over Noah seemed as much to try to placate the proud veteran that Gasol is as to implement his offensive vision. That never materialized, and Mirotic didn’t seize his opportunity.
Noah was ruled out for the season after undergoing surgery to repair a dislocated left shoulder, but could be brought back for a low price.


text: The characterization of access structure is one of the main open problems in secret sharing schemes. We are particularly interested in determining which Q3 access structures can be realized and the requirement should be achieved even in the presence of an adversary who is able to corrupt some players in an ideal secret sharing scheme. The problems are studied in our paper. Above all, we present a concrete scheme that can meet all above requirements. In our scheme, it is not only a dynamic multi-secret and multi-use sharing protocol, but participants from access structure can recover the secret using their shares, while the same number of participants from adversary structure can't recover the secret using their shares, which is different from general access structure schemes. Moreover, in the whole dynamic process, the coefficients of polynomial and private secret shares always stay the same. Therefore, it enjoys high practical value.

A major Defense Department healthcare information technology contractor was awarded a contract worth up to $100 million to plant pro-U.S. propaganda with foreign news media without disclosing that the source is the U.S. government, according to USA Today. Science Applications International Corp., or SAIC, of San Diego, Calif., is a Fortune 500 company and one of the nation's largest defense and intelligence agency contractors with nearly $7.2 billion in revenue in fiscal 2005. In 1988, it was awarded a $1.01 billion, eight-year contract to modify the clinical information technology system developed by the Veterans Affairs Administration for use at Defense Department healthcare sites.
Its product, the Consolidated Health Care System, or CHCS I, is still in use in throughout the Military Health System, which operates 70 hospitals across the country and runs a network that provides care to 9.2 million active members of the armed forces and their families. SAIC retains a support contract on CHCS I. According to articles appearing in the newspaper Tuesday and Wednesday, SAIC was one of three firms awarded similar, five-year contracts of up $20 million per year as part of a media campaign run by Pentagon psychological warfare experts at the U.S. Special Operations Command.
A person who identified himself as Tom Hampton in the public affairs office of SAIC in San Diego asked that any questions about the media contracts be submitted to the company in writing by e-mail. There was no response to those questions by deadline. Read more (registration may be required).

Dolphins are fascinating creatures that have captured the imagination of people for centuries. They are known for their playful nature, intelligence, and sociability. Dolphins belong to the family Delphinidae, which includes about 90 species of marine mammals. They are found in oceans and rivers worldwide and are often considered one of the most beloved and intelligent animals in the world.
One of the most striking features of dolphins is their streamlined body. They are built for speed, with long, slender bodies perfect for swimming through the water. Their skin is smooth and rubbery, and they have a dorsal fin on their back that helps them to maintain balance and maneuver in the water.
Dolphins are also known for their unique vocalizations. They communicate using a series of clicks, whistles, and squeaks. Scientists believe these sounds are used for various purposes, including echolocation, hunting, and socializing.
Dolphins are also highly intelligent animals. They have a larger and more complex brains than most other animals, and they can learn and perform various tasks. Dolphins have demonstrated problem-solving abilities that are on par with chimpanzees and other highly intelligent animals.
One of the most endearing qualities of dolphins is their playful nature. They are often seen jumping out of the water, spinning, and playing with objects like seaweed or small fish. They are also known for their close relationships with other dolphins and have been observed exhibiting behaviors that suggest they are capable of complex social interactions.
Unfortunately, dolphins are also facing many threats in the wild. Their populations have declined due to various factors, including pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction. Some species of dolphins are also hunted for their meat and oil, which has contributed to their decline.

“世界各地的营养不良：热点和突发事件的“–提取物从国家粮食安全的世界，2008，页18 – 21
Genetically modified foods are produced from the organisms that introduce the specific changes into their DNA with the approach of genetic engineering. It is a branch of food science that is implied for improvisation of food production and quality. It basically includes the industrial fermentation, genetic engineering and plant culture. In the era of increasing food insecurity this approach is the best alternative. GM foods are growing commercially across UK, USA and Asia. In the year 2013, 88 % cotton, 91 % soybean and 85 % of corns are produced in USA are genetically modified. The GM foods have more nutrient values as compared to the other foods produced with traditional methods.
“Undernourishment around the world: Hot spots and emergencies” – an extract from The State Food Insecurity in the World, 2008,pp 18 -21
This article focuses on worldwide undernourishment due to food insecurity. As per the report the number of undernourished people was increasing with significant number till the year 2002. However by following the GM food technology the number declined after the year 2002. The main changes occurred in India and china.
Food insecurity leads to the situation of under nourishment and with the increasing population the number of under nourished people is increasing with very high rates. The prevalence of food insecurity around the world can be seen from the following numbers:
• 59 million people are living in food insecure households
• 15.4 million adults are living with very low food security
• 10 million children are living in food insecure households
This has led to the situation of global food crisis. The ecological degradation and food scarcity has led to agricultural research and introduction of new techniques that is well known as genetically modified food technology. The GM food is far better than the conventional food crops.
“Sowing a Gene revolution” – an article by Raney and Pingali published in scientific American in 2007
This article is based on genetically modified crops that can increase the farmer’s profits in the developing nations. This article is all about the benefits of growing the GM crops. The use of bio technology in food production started thousands of years ago with Babylonians and Sumerians. The used the yeast for producing the fermented drinks like beer. The advancement in food biotechnology discovered the use of micro organism in food production. Later several methods of heating were introduced for increasing the food hygiene and quality.
