New Colony is a rural community located on U.S. Highway 59 about four miles northeast of Linden in east central Cass County. Pioneers arrived in the area from South Carolina in the late 1880s, and one of the settlers, Mrs. J. T. Latham, suggested the name of New Colony to honor their new home. The colonists established the New Colony Baptist Church in 1889, and charter members included the Carwile, Elgins, Washington, Crowson, and Martin families. By 1891 services were held in a log schoolhouse. Zachariah H. Carwile donated land for a church in 1904. The building was destroyed in a 1908 cyclone, but members rebuilt the structure within a year. New Colony Cemetery sat behind the church. In the 1930s the farming community had numerous homes, several businesses, and its own school district. The settlement remained a dispersed farming area throughout the twentieth century. In 2000 New Colony had sixty-five residents and at least one business, a woodworking shop. The oldest marked grave in New Colony Cemetery was that of Z. H. Carwile, who died in 1917.
New Colony is part of or belongs to the following places:

The people of Montserrat have bigger things to worry about than football. A mean-spirited volcano that puffs poisonous ash into the air daily, the constant threat of violent hurricanes and a rapidly dwindling population are just a few of the problems that plague the tiny British overseas territory in the Caribbean.
Since the initial eruption of the Soufriere Hills volcano in 1995 that destroyed the capital city of Plymouth, the country has lost two-thirds of its population.
The less-than 5,000 that remain display an impossibly cheery disposition and optimistic resistance to the forces threatening to destroy their society (the volcano is still active and still erupting). Montserrat's is a culture on the verge of oblivion, but its citizens face their looming, localised apocalypse with a cool and refreshing sense of Caribbean humour.
Considering the circumstances, the island's approach to their upcoming one-off FIFA World Cup™ qualifier is nothing short of heroic.
"We have had some unsteady moments here in Montserrat," said FA development officer and national team general manager Claude Hogan in a clear understatement. "Since 1995 we have lost a huge chunk of our population because of the volcano."
The fate of the national team, traditionally one of the weakest in the world, mimics what has happened on a larger scale in Montserrat over the last decade. Many key players joined the mass exodus abroad to England, the USA or neighbouring islands in the Caribbean.
"Most of our players are over in England as refugees," assistant coach Cecil Lake admitted to FIFA.com. "We still have a few players left here on the island but most had to leave.
"We maintain a database, though, so we know pretty much where everyone one is!" exclaimed the former goalkeeper, who conceded four goals in the 2002 loss at Bhutan famously highlighted in the documentary film The Other Final. That defeat saw Montserrat lay claim to the dubious - and unofficial - title of 'worst team in the world'.
The vengeful volcano scattered Montserratians in all directions. Only a handful of the national team's players are among the remaining few thousand. With essentially two separate teams, the FA requires two training bases for the team ahead of their 26 March one-off qualifier with Suriname in Trinidad. Ottley Laborde, a police officer and former player, coaches the lads on the island while Darryl Brade handles the duties in England.
"Most of our players are living, playing and working in Birmingham, London and other English cities," Lake said. "But even though we have been uprooted and moved around, I must admit that our team looks pretty strong at the moment."
Among the contingent of England-based players is a pair of actual professionals, a real rarity in the primarily amateur side. Junior Mendes, born in England but of Montserratian descent, scored for Conference-leading Aldershot Town at the weekend and has also played at Notts County. Hednesford Town midfielder Wayne Dyer will also bring some much-needed professionalism to the team.
"The volcano affected all of us in serious ways," Lake added in a moment of rare sombreness. "Our people got scattered across the world and our team suffered too," he said, before brightening up. "But we like to look at the bright side. Now we have more players to choose from, all learning the game and playing in different cultures and different parts of the world."
One of the players who remains on the island is Clifford Joseph, an all-rounder who was born in Dominica but qualifies for Montserrat through his mother. "He can play any position," Joseph's coach remarked proudly. "We even had him in the goal during a Caribbean Cup qualifier!"
"I am proud to play for the national team," the midfielder, fullback or striker enthused in an interview with FIFA.com. "Sometimes me and the other guys are training on our own here, but when we get together with the English guys we look pretty good I must say, pretty organised and a decent footballing team."
As you talk to the people of Montserrat, their endearing devotion to enjoying life, no matter how hard, becomes almost infectious. So too does their unshakable optimism. "This is a one-off game and anything can happen," Joseph concluded. "Why shouldn't we believe we believe can win?
Cynics might point to their 20-0 aggregate loss to Bermuda in qualifying for Germany 2006, in which Joseph played, as a possible example. But winning and losing are truly secondary concerns in Montserrat.
Hogan best summed up the feeling in the camp: "It's a victory just to be able to mobilise a team to play in a World Cup qualifier. It means we are still here... Montserrat is still alive."

Welcome to my world! Spring here at the Little Shack is a puzzle. One day, we have lovely sunshine and warmth, and I take my morning coffee out to the deck to enjoy the feel of the sun, the birds and the spectacular view. An hour later, it can look like the middle of a blizzard on a freezing January day!
The beautiful tulips were brought to me by my amazing mother in law, Louise. They were just what I needed to remind me, in the midst of the snow and cold, that spring is on it's way! Really!!
After spending 3 weeks on Vancouver Island, awaiting the arrival of my now 3 week old grandson, Davy, where spring arrives at least 2 months earlier than here at the Shack...it was a hard transition coming back home. Granted, there was a huge reduction in the amount of snow left on the ground, the driveway was snow and ice free, and there was plenty of bare ground in amongst the piles of snow. But, spring is just in it's earliest stages here still.
While the crocuses and snowdrops bloom on the Island, here, winter tries desperately to hang on with a tight grip. March means days of sunshine and snow, mixed with hail and some rain. It's the beautiful sunny days that give us hope and an assurance that spring will really and truly arrive, in it's own time. For now, we comment on the weather, dream of green grass and throw another log into the woodstove.
It was one of those March Days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade.

Lucky Daye has already proven himself to be an impressive talent, and with a batch of new tunes on the deluxe version of his debut album, Painted, he continues to be one of the most promising new artists to emerge in the R&B scene. Lucky dropped the original version of the project last May, and just a few days after its one-year anniversary, he's come through with some more additions, including four brand new tracks with features from Babyface and Victoria Monet.
Among the batch of new music is an extended version of "Ready For Love," rather than the Interlude that originally appeared on the album. Lucky also released another remix of "Roll Some Mo," this time with Chronixx and MediSun rather than Wale and Ty Dolla $ign, who contributed to the first remix. Lucky also threw in a live version of "Misunderstood" from a performance he did in New Orleans. As for the exciting collabs, he blessed us with the beautiful "Shoulda" featuring Babyface, as well as his duet, "Little More Time," with Victoria Monet from the film, The Photograph.
Check out Painted (Deluxe Edition) below and let us know what you think of this new music from Lucky Daye.

The six transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes are housed in the small, leadless plastic package DFN2020-3 (2 x 2 mm) with a height of only 0.62 mm. The PTVSxU1UPA product series offers a 300W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 µsec) and reverse stand-off voltages from 7.5 to 26V. These new AEC-Q101 qualified diodes are suited to protect voltage-sensitive components against transient voltage in various applications, such as the charger port in mobile devices.
Surge pulses from the power supply, for example via a car charger, are – NXP asserts – a severe threat for the charger port V BUS line of smart phones and other portables. Standard ESD protection devices are no longer sufficient to protect application circuits from damage, and as a result, devices with higher surge robustness are required. Low leakage current of only 1 nA reduces the power consumption.
This discrete solution, NXP adds, offers superior electrical performance, a higher PCB design flexibility and easier routing than the array of integrated solutions currently available.


The goal of the project is to study and develop a computational persuasion-based methodology for personalized eHealth interventions targeting behavioral change. The usage of persuasion technologies will be fundamental toraise the effectiveness of eHealth interventions, which can be applied in different scenarios. They can help modelling personalized motivation and self-efficacy boosting interactions, or scheduling periodic micro-interventions based on the trajectory of a patient. This methodology will rely on the exploitation of patientpersuadee models, persuasion goals and behaviors, encapsulated in a multi-agent architecture.
This project aims to study and develop a computational persuasion-basedmethodology that actually allows to influence and induce behavioral change in the context of a specific health program. Beyond theanalysis of profile trends, this project will aim at exploring different motivation, self-efficacy,and goal-setting factorsthat can help to increasethe effectiveness of health-related interventions. These persuasion techniques can differ according tothe trajectory of a patient, which characterizes previous events and interventions, andfeedback on the appropriateness of previous advice or counseling. The proposed methodology will rely on the use of multi-agent systems to act as persuasion entities, managing patient knowledge, goals, expectations, motivations,and feedback, to establish strategies that aim at maximizing the impact of the eHealth support activities.The methodology should also allow definingmetrics that will be used to evaluate the persuasionprocess, according to expected outcomes and goals. The project defines the following specific objectives:O1:Study the state-of-the-art and current limitations and challenges of computational persuasion for behavior change in e-Health personalized applications. O2:Develop a methodology for modelingcomputational persuasion agentsso that they can be used to guide personalized behavioral changewith explicable outcomes. O3:Implement aprototype of a multi-agentarchitecture for computational persuasion, integrating the provision of personalized interventionsthrough conversational technologies. O4:Deploy the prototype and apply the methodology in two different use cases requiringpersonalized interventions according to trajectory analysis. One use case will be focused on physical therapy and the other onbehavior change. O5:Evaluate the technical prototype developed in the project, and the methodology proposed, with the use cases as validation scenarios.O6:Document the results, including the technologies developed, andthe scientific contributions to the state of the art.

Wedding Ring Sets for the Proposal and the Wedding
When you are planning your wedding, there are three rings that you need to prepare and often the rings come in wedding ring sets. Traditionally, each of the rings has its own purpose and characteristic of the design. First is the engagement ring which the man presents to the woman on the proposal day, it is usually a ring with single diamond or other precious stone with ornaments, while the wedding bands are for both of the couple with simpler band design.
Make Your Purchase More Efficient Wedding Ring Sets
The wedding ring sets allow you to have a line of rings from the step of the proposal to the wedding day. Purchasing the rings in a set will allow you to save money n the budget and also give your special moment a theme of the jewelry. The cost will be much more expensive if you are buying the engagement ring and the wedding bands separately.
Coming in one theme of design, the wedding ring sets will give each ring with different purpose a personality. There are jewelry shops that will make the rings according to your finger sizing and choice f design. This makes the preparation of the engagement and wedding easier as you already have all the essential rings on wedding ring sets

Chronic instability of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is associated with poor functional outcomes and the development of arthritis. Stabilization of the distal tibiofibular joint after a neglected or recurrent diastasis can be accomplished using a variety of surgical procedures; however, no 1 technique has shown clear superiority. Arthrodesis is considered the most reproducible means of restoring stability at the distal tibiofibular joint; however, the limitation of motion can be associated with ankle pain and may exacerbate symptoms from early ankle degenerative disease. This article presents an algorithmic approach using a double limb allograft reconstruction for symptomatic patients with persistent radiographic widening and either subtle syndesmotic instability or significant disruption and lateral talar shift due to attenuated or disrupted syndesmotic ligaments. The technique primarily reconstructs the interosseous ligament and does not attempt to individually recreate each ligament of the syndesmosis to preserve physiological fibula rotation and translation. Early outcomes have been excellent. Level of Evidence: Diagnostic Level V. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Paul Seesequasis is a writer living in Saskatoon.
The acquittal of Gerald Stanley in the killing of Colten Boushie has sent shock waves across Canada, with headlines comparing Saskatchewan to America in the 1950s and Colten Boushie to Rodney King. But these comparisons are erroneous at best. This is a made-in-Saskatchewan crisis, one that has deep roots going back to the signing of Treaty 6 and the first settlers coming into the region.
I remember being taken on a school trip to Fort Battleford National Historic Site, not far from the Court of Queen's Bench in Battleford, Sask., where the Stanley trial took place. Established by the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) in 1876, the fort is symbolic of settler-Indigenous relations in the region. During the 1885 resistance, it was a shelter for some 500 settlers, a refuge from the perceived threat of Indigenous "hostiles" in the area. Our class was given only the briefest mention of this, as I recall. Instead, we were given scarlet tunics, white pith helmets and toy guns and subjected to pseudo-drilling by a sergeant so we could pretend to be NWMP, guarding the fort. There was little reference to the Cree or the Métis other than as some vaguely defined unknown existing outside the fort's walls.
Nor was there mention of the eight Indigenous men hanged there on Nov. 27, 1885, in the aftermath of the Riel resistance. Nor that their bodies were thrown into an unmarked mass grave. Nor that the Indigenous students from the Battleford Industrial School were brought out to witness this dispensing of "justice." Those eight men did not receive a proper trial. They had no knowledge of the workings of the court. No translation was provided.
There is a thread of continuity from that trial in 1885 to the Stanley trial of 2018. It is steeped in a history of distrust, fear and injustice. This simmered through the following decades, the divide insured by measures such as the Pass System, which kept the "other" confined like prisoners on day supervision to reserves in the area, including Mr. Boushie's home on Red Pheasant First Nation.
But by the early 1960s things were changing. There was increased activism and resistance to the Indian Act and its policies. The Indigenous population was younger and growing at a rate far exceeding the non-Indigenous population. Indigenous people now comprise almost 40 per cent of the population in the Battlefords region. But the history and the mistrust of both the RCMP and the judicial system continue. Incarceration rates for Indigenous men and women in Saskatchewan, as high as 70 per cent of the inmate population, reveal this is not mistrust based solely on past injustices.
In 1991, Cree trapper Leo LaChance, from the Big River First Nation, walked into the River Street pawnshop in nearby Prince Albert to sell a few pelts. The shop was owned by an avowed white supremacist named Carney Milton Nerland. Mr. LaChance would never get the money for his pelts. Instead, he stumbled out into the street, shot in the back. Mr. Nerland pleaded guilty to manslaughter, but served less than three years before being placed in witness protection by the RCMP.
The shooting sparked outrage in the Indigenous community and in the media – and demands for changes to the justice system. Many believed Mr. Nerland should have been charged with murder, not manslaughter.
In the ensuing public inquiry examining whether race was a factor in the death of Mr. LaChance, the lawyer for the RCMP, Martel Popescul, asked the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal to adjourn the hearings while the court heard about their appeal to protect the identity of any police informants. The public inquiry proceeded after that.
Mr. Popescul would go on to become a judge and preside over the trial of Mr. Stanley. However, it was the jury, not Chief Justice Popescul, that rendered the not guilty verdict.
The fate of Mr. LaChance and the sentence and protection given to Mr. Nerland is only one of many cases that point to the systemic failure of the justice system in the province of Saskatchewan. It only heightens the fear and mistrust many Indigenous people feel toward both the RCMP and the courts. There is little faith that justice will be served or that one will be judged by one's peers. History has borne this out, from the fate of eight Indigenous men 132 years ago to Mr. LaChance 27 years ago to Mr. Boushie last week. Justice was not served.
The people of Saskatchewan are all treaty people. The intent of the treaties is to establish a working relationship. One of trust and co-operation. The events of last week would indicate that day remains a long ways off.
People gathered in North Battleford, Sask., Edmonton and Toronto on Saturday to protest the acquittal of Gerald Stanley in the shooting death of Colten Boushie. The crowds sang and chanted “justice for Colten.”

Like their celestial namesake, Stars only come out at night. It’s been 14 years since the Montreal band debuted with an album of intimate synth-pop whispers titled Nightsongs.
Stars’ albums have always served as thermochromic barometers of their makers’ emotional well-being, be it the romantic up heaval of 2003’s Heart and 2004’s Set Yourself On Fire, the newsticker-triggered discontent of 2007’s In Our Bedroom After the War, the downcast elegies of 2010’s The Five Ghosts (a requiem for singer Torquil Campbell’s father, who passed away during the album’s creation), or the rejuvenation of 2012’s The North (recorded while inter-band couple Amy Millan and Evan Cranley were in the throws of new parenthood).
However, as Millan admits, the band initially approached its new seventh album from a place of relative stability. “We’ve always had so many things defining every album, whether it was the band going through a difficult emotional turmoil, Torq’s father passing away, or us having children. And now it’s like: You know what? We’re pretty good.This is one of the best times of our lives.” This time around, Stars decided to scratch the seven-album itch by shaping their own environment. After inheriting the Mile End rehearsal space vacated by the then-disbanding Handsome Furs, Stars refashioned the space—“basically a dirty apartment”, says Cranley— into a fully operational studio, where recording for No One Is Lost began last December with old friend Liam O’Neil (Metric, The Stills) behind the boards.
No One Is Lost is the radiant flash of pink neon that lights the way. So, go dance.
SECOND SIGHT, Hey Rosetta!’s first album in nearly four years represents the longest musical gestation in the band’s history. In part, the delay was due to the lengthy touring cycle following the success of their last album Seeds, which was short-listed for the Polaris Music Prize, and resulted in the band’s first JUNO nomination (for New Group) and a performance on the awards telecast. There was also the band’s determination to expand their sonic horizons and, as songwriter Tim Baker puts it, “let each song come on its own terms and become what it will, unencumbered by some predetermined thesis or structure or symbolism.”
Over the near decade playing together, Hey Rosetta!’s collective sound has been lauded as unmistakable. They are a band that connects in an almost intangible, unexplainable way. Tim Baker’s haunting and distinctive voice and his writing, with a lyrical sensibility that defines the band as one of the most poetic Canada exports; the rolling indie-rock precision meeting hooky pop sensibilities, offset by the delicate touch of cello, violin (and now french horn), that cuts through the most cramped club or across any vast open air festival stage.
SECOND SIGHT became a way for the now seven-member band to experiment with their sound even further. Shifting more into musical textures, you can feel building up around you in tracks like, What Arrows and Promise. The instantly resonant choruses and lyrical depth all helped arrive at an album sound that Hey Rosetta! cellist and multi-instrumentalist Romesh Thavanathan calls “warm, yet mysterious.”
Baker likens the process to “swimming in a river of modern music”, and eventually moving with the flow of that river into uncharted musical waters. Says their producer, Marcus Paquin: “I feel like it encompasses a wider range of musical influences than what I’ve heard from them before. Tim’s lyrics have expanded. Musically and dynamically, this record has a very wide range. And Tim’s unmistakable voice is the glue that holds everything together.”

When you put yourself under more pressure than you can see, you make yourself vulnerable to a number of diseases that can worsen in life-threatening diseases. Too often, we only face our problems when they come and not before they do. Remember the old celebrity: penny prevention is worth a doctor doctor – and it's also easier with the budget. Take the time to plan and check for some signs of mental and / or physical breakdown.
The results of this question can be loose guidelines for creating load management, so it's important that you answer questions honestly. If you find that more than one answer applies to you, choose the one that suits you best.
1. When forced to work overtime, how do you focus on it?
A: I start working on what needs to be done.
B: I think first, and then I take my time to do what I have to do.
C: Get frustration and bored at work.
2. If you suddenly find yourself in debt, then …
A: Try to solve all your financial problems as soon as you can manage.
B: Assess the situation and gradually recover from your financial loss.
C: Brood over the problem.
3. If you were asked to describe your life in one word, would it be?
4. When you face a problem, then …
A: Take it as a challenge.
B: Think of the necessary steps to deal with it.
C: Blame others for the problem.
5. If you wait late, you?
A: Find something to distract me while I wait.
B: Read a good book or take the goal and relax.
C: Get irritated and angry.
6. When you get more work than you can handle, you?
A: Cut your effort to make ends meet.
B: Tracking action and slow but certainly adjusting the pressure.
C: Complain about it.
7. On vacation you?
A: Go wherever I can go.
C: Find it hard to relax.
8. You find work?
9. I feel like you?
A: Ready to deal with everything that prevents me.
B: Still and open.
C: The things can not be done.
10. When something forces you to change your lifestyle, you?
A: Accept the changes.
B: Learn how to handle the changes.
C: Complain about it.
If most of the answers are "A", it means you are a very active and reliable person. You can handle problems by either dealing with them directly instead of solving it. It is most likely that the stressful effort is to turn stress into eustress that will enable you to benefit from it while dealing with it at the same time. You usually get this by interfering with hobbies or taking some kind of moves. The combination of the sound and the healthy body allows you to withstand good stress.
If the majority of the chosen ends as "B" you are probably a very relaxed, relaxed and logical person. You take your time with items and minimize the likelihood of an error on your part. It is also this very methodological approach to things that allow you to solve most problems before even becoming a problem. The likelihood that you rarely have a problem, and when you do it does not affect you as much as usual, and you act as if nothing has happened. The only downside to all of these laws is that you are rather becoming too idle. You run the risk of looking at problems or giving you too much time to deal with things and you may find yourself facing problems that you might have nipped on.
Mostly "C" answers would reflect reliably poor methods to deal with you. You are probably annoyed and always want things to prevent you, which is never the case in life. You will be frustrated because of this and you end up putting unnecessary tension on yourself. Your nature may also be caused by some life-threatening events that may have occurred recently. It may be advisable to seek professional help and start changing how you see problems when they arrive. It would also be a good idea to get in shape where a physically healthy person gets much more than stress than one in poor health.

Hotel was excellent my only issue was we choose because of the pool, the pool seemed to be for the people or north van we got maybe half a lane the other was for other people not staying in the hotel
Great hotel for the 3 of us. My daughter had her own sofabed in the front room while we had our separate bedroom. Staff was very friendly. Hotel was close to everything for us. Close to a SkyTrain station also.

Disappointed that we were not informed that the restaurant attached was not open due to renovations and that we had to pay to park in the parking garage when there is no other parking available.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were small but very clean. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bedding was nice. Bathroom was updated with great shower. Perfect location for checking out the Granville Island shops. Easy access to the city of Vancouver.
We very much enjoyed our say here. Not only was the hotel amazing, comfortable and beautiful, the area it is located in is a wonderful area! Many restaurants, cafes, walking places, and close to major tourist attractions. Prime location. UPGRADE to harbor view, well worth it.
Hotel is located on the Fraser river with river views from all rooms. Although there is a construction site next door, I was not bothered by noise. I did not eat in the hotel restaurant; however there are several good choices within walking distance for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The walk along ...
Lovey hotel room and beautiful view of the mountains but our room had some “equipment noise” constantly, no shutting down - like a generator- and thank goodness I brought my earplugs- otherwise was a wonderful experience!
Location was where I needed. Hotel is a bit run down and loud. The central pool is neat but echoes sound around. They have done some painting lately and it’s probably the worst paint job I’ve seen in a while
Absolutely amazing hotel, staff and facilities. You would never be disappointed by staying here

The THC is popular since of its psychoactive qualities after cigarette smoking up or ingesting weed. The ratio of THC in marijuana is a lot more than in hemp seeds.

The THC stage will help the brain relax and trigger serotonin and create dopamine, a neurotransmitter that regulates temper and social conversation.

Low-Temperature Synthesis and Gas Sensing Properties of Anatase TiO2 Thin Films
Crystalline anatase TiO2 thin films were obtained on glass substrates at 60°C, 75°C and 90°C, respectively, by liquid phase deposition (LPD) method without subsequent heat treatment. X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and UV-Vis spectrophotometer were used to characterize the as-synthesized TiO2 thin films. The H2 sensing properties of the TiO2 thin films based sensors were investigated. The results show that the gas sensors signal Ra/Rg (Ra: resistance in air, Rg: resistance in a sample gas) decreases with the increasing deposition temperature. The TiO2 thin films obtained at deposition temperature of 60°C exhibited the maximum H2 gas response at 350°C, and the magnitude of the sensor signal and the response time for 500ppm H2 was 1.25 and 17s, respectively.

New pathways to innovative welfare solutions
This handbook addresses how municipalities and regions can find new paths to welfare solutions through developing collaborations and creating business with social enterprises.
As we find ourselves in the midst of the transformation of social structures, social enterprises can indicate new opportunities, innovative forms of work and solutions in society. Municipalities and regions that want to create room for this potential, require broad perspectives and recognition of openness to radically new solutions.
Our intention is for the handbook to provide municipalities and regions with an introduction to social enterprises.

CA - Victims dispute hopelessness about charges vs. Mahony
It’s factually and morally wrong to assume that criminal charges can’t be brought against current and former top LA archdiocesan officials, especially with tens of thousands of church records about to be released.
We aren’t police, prosecutors or even lawyers. But for 25 years, we’ve seen – in the words of Martin Luther King – “the long arc of history bend toward justice.” We’ve seen secular authorities become increasingly assertive and creative and successful in pursuing sophisticated criminals.
Remember one simple fact and one simple adage:
Al Capone was nailed on tax evasion.
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
The irresponsible assumption that Mahony, Curry and others can’t be prosecuted rests on another irresponsible assumption: that their behavior has changed. Can we be more reckless than to assume that these men - who have repeatedly done serious wrong for decades and have entirely escaped penalties – have magically, completely, and voluntarily reformed?
All the policies and panels and procedures and promises made by church officials don’t change one simple truth – Archbishop Gomez and Bishop Curry and others still have the ability, right now, to do exactly as they’ve done for decades in child sex cases.
Thousands work for the archdiocese. Has even one been disciplined for ignoring, minimizing, or hiding known or suspected child sex crimes? We can’t think of one. So why would any church employee risk their jobs, do something different, and call the police if they think a cleric might be hurting a kid?
Those who think justice can’t be done and things can’t change here should look at history.
More often than we can count, smart church officials and observers pooh-poohed our push for a national church abuse policy. “That will never happen,” we were repeatedly told. “That can’t happen. The church isn’t structured that way.”
Now, there is one.
More often than we can count, smart people laughed at us when we began, years ago, insisting that bishops post the names of proven admitted and credibly accused child molesting clerics on their websites.
Now, 30 bishops have done this.
More often than we can count, smart people scoffed when we began, years ago, pushing the suspension of statute of limitations deadlines for a year or two.
Now, three states have done this.
We could go on and on and on.
Our point is simple: if you’re serious about protecting kids, you won’t accept the horrific status quo.
On the local level, we’ve seen similar progress and achievements that few would have ever thought possible:
--In Massachusetts, a predator priest was prosecuted under a law passed in the 1800s.
--In Ohio, a predator priest was nailed on one count of providing alcohol to minors.
--Dozens of predator priests have been captured in remote places and extradited to face justice back in the nation where they assaulted kids.
--A number of predator priests were given probation and are now behind bars because they violated the restrictions they were to honor.
Yes, these are predator priests, not complicit bishops. But even some members of the Catholic hierarchy have been prosecuted for concealing child sex crimes – Bishop Robert Finn in Kansas City, Msgr. William Lynn in Philadelphia, and Bishop Pierre Pican in France.
As kids, many of us were told by our perpetrators “If you speak up, nothing will happen.”
Yet as adults, many of us have spoken and are speaking. As a result, thousands of predator priests have been exposed, suspended, charged, convicted, jailed and defrocked.

Though the days of pie-eyed predictions are history, e-business and e-commerce have made giant steps in this country. Further broadening their appeal, however, remains a crucial stepping-stone.
THE RECENT BEHAVIOR of German software giant SAP says a lot about technology’s changing place in the business world. The company’s bundled package of e-business tools, “mySAP.com”, now on the market for five years, was re-named “mySAP Business Suite” in January. The once golden suffix “.com” has been dropped not only because it now sounds more pejorative than innovative, but also because it smacks of being dated. (The adding of an “e” to “Business” was also deemed extraneous.) “‘Dot-com’ and ‘e-business’ have been terminated in this new naming standard because there’s no need any more to stress it,” says Martin Bednar, country manager for SAP Czech, adding, “now when SAP is saying ‘business’, of course we mean ‘e-business’.”
Bednar and contemporaries would have us believe the future, where e-business and e-commerce are concerned, is now; that the volume of business operations, goods and services being facilitated and exchanged electronically here is at least partially matured. Statistics back this up: technology research firm IDC forecasts that the e-commerce market in the Czech Republic – both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-customer (B2C) – will grow from 313 million USD (CZK 9.3 billion) in 2001 to USD 2.6 billion (CZK 76.7 billion) by 2006 – an increase of over 800%. And on the e-business side, companies in both the private and the public sectors, for which anything e- was at most e-mail in the past, are now beginning to show interest in more complex and costly solutions. But where e-business could hit a wall in this country is by failing to ditch the image of being an elite tool best left only to large firms willing to spend lavishly (a customer base in limited supply). “I’m not satisfied with the level of awareness (among small and medium sized firms of e-business),” says SAP’s Bednar, adding, “this is a market like any other… if there are no customers, there will definitely be no growth.”
Bednar is quick to point out that SAP will soon bring a new product to the Czech market aimed specifically at small firms, referring to them as “crucial.” But SAP’s idea of what a firm should spend on IT, or even what is a small firm, is debatable; the market leader’s bread and butter is not little guys, but rather the more than 50% of the country’s top 100 firms it now calls customers. Contemporaries of a similar size to SAP could also likely subsist on simply re-licensing existing software in large quantities. On the other hand there are outfits like Webcom, hungry up-and-comers striving to make a mark, who may find better chemistry with small-turnover firms in need of smoothing out operations with technology. Tomáš Hamr, business development manager at Webcom, which specializes in .NET integration, estimates that his firm goes head to head with big players in only about 5% to 10% of tenders. Webcom now counts among its clients roughly 70 small to mid-sized companies which, according to Hamr, are generally unwilling to spend much more than one million crowns on single e-business projects. He adds that opportunities are arising in sectors not traditionally associated with e-business, like food production and distribution, which are beginning to show interest in investing more significantly. “They are in a different stage of development,” than traditional clients from telecommunications and information exchange fields, says Hamr, adding, “there are no pilots for them, anywhere.”
Something SAP, Webcom, and other local IT firms currently share an interest in is hospitals. Notoriously strapped for cash and just as notoriously mismanaged, Czech hospitals have recently undergone significant administrative changes that may fasten their gaze more firmly to the bottom line. “It’s not just about making people healthy any more,” says Hamr. “The management at hospitals have to solve this with a not very large budget, and this requires technology, it requires new vision in management and IT.” While it may be valid to wonder if they really have the money to invest in e-business, or whatever SAP wants to call it, their complex webs of suppliers, financials and records may dictate that hospitals won’t have much of a choice. SAP is in the process of setting up a financial solution for Masaryk Hospital in Ústí nad Labem, and hopes success there will prick the interest of others. When asked if, Ústí aside, other famously inefficient hospitals will have the funds necessary to partner with the likes of SAP, Mr. Bednar replies: “if somebody has the money to be wasted, he should also have the money to be invested properly.”
Finding a market
This market poses uniquely problematic conditions for e-commerce. While IDC tells us that it has come a long way, e-commerce is still overwhelmingly dominated by B2B. “We expect this trend to continue,” says IDC analyst Joshua Budd. Retail analyst GfK estimates that there are now some 800 thousand online shoppers in this country, clicking daily through some 1,100 different shops (though seemingly a large group, it should be noted that the shops are dominated by a small cadre of players like vltava.cz and obchodnidum.cz). An interesting aspect of recent e-shopping habits surfaced in research conducted by GfK during the 2002 Christmas season: While 38% of internet shoppers used an office connection, often considered more popular for extended surfing trips due to ease and cost, 40% used their at-home connection. If people are already willing to click through online shops using ridiculously outdated dial-up connections (the norm for at-home connections here), it seems DSL, a technology that enables a faster and relatively financially accessible connection to the Internet, would provide vital stimulation. Budd of IDC points out that benefits of DSL could be enjoyed not only by customers: “right now businesses are dependent on leased lines or fixed wireless access for a permanent always on connection, and these services are quite expensive. Whereas DSL gives you a permanent connection at high bandwidth, and it’s significantly less expensive…so it will open up the internet to many more small and medium sized firms.”
When can we expect DSL?
The Czech Republic is one of few European countries to not yet have a DSL product available on its market. The problem is a traditional one for local telecommunications: a dispute between dominant fixed line operator Český Telecom and alternative service providers. Český Telecom first attempted to launch ADSL, a variant of DSL, last summer, only to be held up by the regulatory authority (ČTÚ) for not having made a proper wholesale offer to other operators hoping to sell it as well. The wrangling continues, with alternative service providers unhappy about a number of conditions including the potential for ČT’s online arm, Internet OnLine (IOL), to benefit from a lack of additional overhead as the only non re-seller, effectively allowing Český Telecom to be the only provider of ASDL keeping both margins.
Furthermore, if ČT’s wholesale price ends up driving everyone else’s tariffs higher, says Tomas Elbl, of alternative operator Nextra, it could prove self-defeating for the overall market. “Český Telecom is driving the whole market, and there is no way other licensed operators can achieve better prices. In fact, the level of prices slightly alters the targeting of ADSL itself… (as) a form of nonstop fast internet access for a reasonable price.” As The Prague Tribune went to press, five alternative operators had come to terms with Český Telecom. “We want to reach an agreement with as many companies as possible,” says ČT spokesman Vladan Crha, adding that ADSL should be ready to launch by late March. Regarding any potential advantage for IOL, Crha remarks: “we have to prove that won’t happen. IOL will have exactly the same terms as the other ISPs.”
Many industry observers suggest not even bothering with PC connections, but rather working toward an e-commerce future based on mobile phones. Josef Krejčí, business development manager of software producer EDS, cites great potential in building upon a readily accessible and widely familiar platform. True, if statistics are to be believed, mobile penetration stands at a tremendous 80% now. But it’s highly improbable that eight of ten people in this country are actually active mobile phone users, much less that they might use a phone for anything but voice services. So while they may, as Krejčí says, be habituated to phones, becoming even slightly habituated to shopping with a phone seems unlikely to happen in the near future.
For any IT firm, the possibility of a Czech public sector one day able to invest heavily in technology is enticing. Proposed changes in public procurement law, for example, could facilitate broader e-procurement, or the bidding for all large tenders to be done electronically (and therefore transparently). A spokesperson for the Ministry of Regional Development says that, pending government approval of the proposed law, “everything concerning public tenders will have the potential to be made public on the internet.” This will of course require significantly more investment in software, security and servicing. But as with anything involving government spending, timelines are always in danger of being woefully distended. “It’s a good idea for the state to invest in IT,” says Webcom’s Tomáš Hamr, “but the idea is being realized too slowly.”
|Why DSL mattersDSL, or “Digital Subscriber Line”, is a complicated way to refer to a simple, fast, and potentially cheap internet connection executed directly through an existing phone line. Most industry observers agree that when it arrives, DSL could be
a major stimulus for the overall automation of business in this country. “Could it (DSL) increase the use of e-commerce in this country? Yes,” says Richard Limburský, a regulatory expert at alternative operator GTS, adding, “could it also increase the use of e-business? Again, I say yes.” While a majority of at-home users currently are chained to decrepit dial-up connections, and firms must often shell out considerable money for establishing leased-line connection, DSL offers a pleasant halfway solution. Operators are now preparing to introduce ADSL (a variant of DSL) to the Czech market in the spring of this year. Český Telecom spokesman Vladan Crha estimates that service will be priced somewhere between ISDN and a leased line. The technology is already prevalent elsewhere in Europe: DSL analyst Point Topic estimates that in Germany there are already some four DSL lines installed per 100 inhabitants.
|No free lunch?
For mobile phone operator T-Mobile, 2003 began with a public relations nightmare. At issue was a question essential to any business considering a significant e-commerce presence: how much of a service to give away for free in order to first rope in users. Rumblings began when T-Mobile announced price hikes for SMS text messages in January, but what really drew the ire of the mob was the subsequent closure of its free internet SMS gateway. Free gateways are enormously popular web services, started years ago by all operators to help introduce text messaging in its infancy. When T-Mobile announced in January that users would have to start divvying up for every SMS sent, the text-messaging public was far from pleased. T-Mobile spokesman Jiří Hájek, in an attempt at public bandaging, agreed to take part in a Q & A session about the closure on popular server mobil.cz, only to be deluged by some 300 queries, many unpleasant. Despite Hájek’s effort, customers later took the fight further by announcing a one-day boycott of all T-Mobile services (the boycott proved patently ineffective).
|Send money immediately
ONE OF THE BARRIERS to e-biz progress is with payment, whether it’s a large sum to a supplier or ten thousand micro-payments for SMS messages. Many Czech firms and e-merchants stand to benefit from solutions currently being hammered out by banks and payment systems developers.

Disney is going in hard with its live-action adaptations this year. Dumbo hit theaters earlier this year, Aladdin will debut on Friday, and The Lion King will roar onto screens in July. Joining them will be Maleficent: Mistress of Evil this October and as the Angelina Jolie-starring film readies for release, the film has now added a composer to bring the soundscape to life.
Composer Geoff Zanelli has signed on to score for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The move sees Zanelli teaming up with director Joachim Ronning again, as the pair previously worked together on Disney's 2017 film, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
"I couldn't wait to team up with Disney and Joachim Rønning again, so I'm excited to be invited to the Moors for an inspired new adventure," Zanelli said in a statement. "The storytelling in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is fantastic, and Angelina Jolie's iconic performance as this timeless villain is hauntingly vivid, easily one of my favorite recent cinematic experiences. For someone who was raised on fantasy and adventure films, writing this score is a dream come true."
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, the sequel to 2014' Maleficent, sees the return of Jolie as the titular character, and Elle Fanning will reprise her role as Princess Aurora. Also returning are original cast members Juno Temple, Sam Riley, and Imelda Staunton. However, this film will also see plenty of new faces joining the franchise, including Ed Skrein, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. The sequel will feature a new sort of tale involving Maleficent and Aurora, with the story expected to head into magical territory.
"Aurora and Maleficent love each other so much," Fanning said during the film's CinemaCon presentation earlier this year. "But there is a divide between them. Maleficent is still a little wary of the humans, and Aurora is dealing with the burden of coming into this new life to be this cookie-cutter royal, which is not what Aurora is."
Maleficent, which was released in 2014, was one of the first movies in this enormous wave of live-action Disney adaptations. The film earned a total of $241 million at the domestic box office, on its way to a worldwide total of $758 million. Maleficent helped usher in the modern era of Disney live-action re-imaginings: the first film followed Tim Burton's $1 billion-plus-grosser Alice in Wonderland and the sequel comes on the heels of Cinderella ($543m), The Jungle Book ($966m), and the Emma Watson-led Beauty and the Beast ($1.26b).
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil hits theaters on October 18th.
