After a dull June morning at the Immigration Office in Brasov, I head to Piata Sfatului. I go in and out of local banks asking them if I’d be allowed to open a bank account to support my visa extension. At BRD I’m a tourist, at Raiffeisen (where I eventually get an account) I’m from a high risk country, at CEC I’m invisible. At Piraeus, I hand out a copy of my passport and they tell me it’s pretty simple.
I buy a hotdog and sit near the fountain clutching my insufficient documents. Now that Piraeus was going to fix my account, there was only one more thing left to do – go to a local doctor and get a medical certificate. The rest would be taken care of. Raluca, my hostess at Viscri speaks to me on the phone, guiding me to Regina Maria where I could get the tests done. I respond mechanically, body tired and soul uneasy. If I don’t set this right, I’d have to leave Romania sooner than planned.
Raluca’s voice fades. I stare at the Biscerica Neagră or the Black church, the lower body visible between two buildings and the upper rising to the clouds. Pigeons border my vision and fly in between. I hear their flapping along with the noise of children in toy cars and bikes, of vendors and musicians. I whet my ears to the new noise of Brasov, different from that of my morning – summons, papers shuffling, echoes in government buildings and whispers in queues.
I walk around the Black Church (90 mts in length and 25-37 mts in width) before going in. At no step can I take it in fully. One or the other corner is obstructed from view. There is no long courtyard leading to the gate or a compound wall surrounding it. The front is the most difficult to take in. It’s on my face even when I back off to lean against the wall that obstructs the space here. For a church of such proportion and majesty, it seems to stand on the wrong place.
The Gothic exterior is coloured in uneven patches of black and brown.
Ebony, crow, charcoal, pitch, onyx, soot.
Cedar, umber, peanut, coffee, walnut, tortilla, forest, ferret.
It begins before I step in. The name, the bullet marks and scratches on the outer lower wall and a statue of a small boy crouching on a pillar near the terrace come with me into the church.
The outside and the inside don’t match. The battered Gothic black of the outside contains within it a light creamish Baroque. Anatolian and double-niche Transylvanian rugs hang on the walls. John the Baptist along with priests and Saints are here and there. A 4000 pipe golden organ, a Buchholz still untampered, stands threatening, behind me. If the seats were removed, with all the rugs, this may look like a monastery. This church asks me to quieten.
To be honest, this is the one thing that’s been in my mind since I heard about the Black Church. Why name a church – not a congregation but a church – the Black Church? I try to not associate the colour black with death or anything sombre. But it’s difficult to not conform. It’s just the name. By appearance, there is no extraordinary mournfulness that the façade of the building carries. But the name.
Built on a site of destruction – an earlier church destroyed by Mongol invasions in 1242 – the Black church was damaged heavily by Turkish raids in 1421 even before completion. What was then finished in 1477 was burned in the Great Fire which consumed more than half the city. After nearly a century of restoration – the interior was completely damaged – and a few centuries of functioning, the Black Church once again saw a raid – not as bad as the earlier ones – at the start of the Romanian Revolution against the Communist regime on 23rd December 1989.
I enquire about the statue of the boy on the pillar outside the church. The volunteer smiles at me. So you noticed, she says. There are different versions to the story. A naughty little boy – the son of a priest – was locked in an attic as punishment when the Great Fire started burning him to his death; a little boy who helped very well with the construction so much so that one of the workers pushed him down out of jealousy; and the version I digest better – that he fell down when he was asked to go up to check if the wall was being built in a straight line.
I sit down to pray, near a dull red rug whose smell I believe will later become the smell of my hair. I knew why I was away from home. To undo some things in my head, to remember some things from my own childhood and maybe, if time allows, maybe, become stronger, in my feminine. When the bare foot touches the slush of the earth, when a baby laughs at the sight of her brother and when the gravel of the road is crunched by the hooves of horses, just be one with it.
Even on the inside, I couldn’t help but think about its outside. About the blackness of its friable grit that burned easily during the fire and yet stood somehow; keeps standing. About how one exterior can contain an interior so different and yet become one coherent whole. About how the Gothic and the Baroque kiss at the fringes to make a church.
Polarities and opposites often become signifiers of moral binaries, arrogantly ignoring the eons of fluid greyness in between, where they mix. The last few seconds in prayer, in the Black church, all colour codes, moralities and signification is lost for me. It seems right, that undoing should begin in – not any church – but the Black church.
My reverie is broken by a call from Piraeus. It cannot be done, they are sorry. I leave to see them but nothing changes; then head to Regina Maria where I’m asked to come another day. Thinking about it now, I know it’s one of the things I loved the most about Romania. The indecisiveness; that nothing could be said for sure. It, just like its people, possessed a calm rhetoric of life which overrode any pressure to complete or be completed/whole.
Days later, after yet another visit to the Immigration Office, I make my way up the Tâmpa mountain to Promenada de Sus/The Upper Promenade. It is a wet, rainy day with dark clouds and dense fog looming around. From afar, on a higher plane, I saw the Black church in its entirety – a blue tarpaulin on top of the roof – surrounded by buildings so tightly knit that you’d think the people of Brasov fell on the doorstep of the church if they stepped outside their homes.
I stood there, the greyness of rain no longer a device I’d use to represent sorrow or impending threat. Nor black for death. Instead, for a kind of phoenix battle against what time might throw. And there, in the heart of Transylvania in Romania, the journey of an ‘insignification’ began.
Location: The Black Church / Biscerica Neagră, Brasov, Romania.

Gov. Richard F. Celeste's proposal for a constitutional amendment to raise $1.8 billion in new taxes to create a "trust fund" for Ohio's schools has drawn a lukewarm response from his fellow Democrats in the legislature and harsh criticism from Republicans.
When legislation to place the issue on a statewide ballot next fall was introduced in the House last month as a "courtesy" to Mr. Celeste, only three Democratic lawmakers agreed to sign on as sponsors.
"The Governor appeared to be having trouble finding sponsors, but I felt his proposal should be heard," said Representative William E. Hinig, chairman of the House finance and appropriations committee and one of the cosponsors.
House Speaker Vernal G. Riffe Jr., meanwhile, has declined to take a stand on the proposal, and has said that House Democrats will not take a position as a group on the issue.
Recently, House Republicans issued a statement declaring the plan "dead on arrival."
The Republican caucus believes the Governor's proposed tax increases would "hurt the state economy and therefore hurt schools more in the long run," explained Jacqui Romer-Sensky, a spokesman for the lawmakers. They plan to introduce a measure within the next two weeks that would "re-prioritize" existing funds, she said.
Observers said the main obstacle standing in the way of Mr. Celeste's plan is the fact that lawmakers of both parties are extremely reluctant to support a tax increase.
Moreover, "Governor Celeste's coattails are shorter than an Eisenhower jacket," one education official noted. "He just has no great allegiance in the General Assembly."
However, Carla Edlefson, Mr. Celeste's education aide, denied claims that the Governor was facing a dead end. "There's a lot of posturing going on," she said. "I don't think such jockeying is so unusual."
The Governor's plan calls for a 1 percent increase in state income and corporate taxes, which would raise education funding by $1.8 billion over two years. Two-thirds of themoney would be earmarked for reform projects in elementary and secondary schools.
All of the new revenues would be placed in a trust fund controlled by an independent "education excellence commission." The measure would require changes in the Ohio constitution and thus would have to be approved by the state's voters.
The decision to place the proposal on the ballot has upset many of Ohio's leading education organizations.
"We do not support going to the ballot on this issue," said Marilyn Cross, president of the Ohio Education Association.
"We think the legislature has the ability to provide more money on its own," she said, adding that union leaders doubt that voters can be persuaded to approve higher taxes.
Ms. Cross also argued that the Governor's proposal does not address what the oea considers the state's most pressing need in education: the development of a new school-aid formula that would reduce sharp disparities in spending among districts.
Although the organization is not opposed to the idea of an education trust fund, she said, "we feel the money should go to the basic-educa8tion fund to reduce these inequities."
G. Robert Bowers, assistant state superintendent for public instruction, said state officials oppose the trust fund because it would be controlled by a new panel and not the state board of education. He said the board also disagrees with the decision to put the issue before voters.
He noted, however, that state officials are pleased that the governor has embraced many of the state board's recommendations for improving schools, including the expansion of early-childhood and preschool education, encouraging business partnerships with schools, and increasing parental involvement.
According to Ms. Cross, Mr. Celeste has responded to the lack of support from the education lobby by turning to Ohio's business community--despite the fact that the proposal includes a corporate tax increase.
"The business community hardly flinched about that tax, especially since they are so concerned about the quality of education in the state," Ms. Edlefson said.
But even with support from business, many still doubt whether the Governor can push the bill through the legislature.
Representative Hinig, however, said the bill was "not yet totally dead in the water."
Mr. Hinig said the legislation has been referred to the ways and means committee. But, he added, no action is expected until after the state budget is approved and until House leaders receive some indication of support from the Senate.
"I would not want to ask House members to work on legislation that will not be received in the Senate," he said.
In a related development, the Senate has passed legislation that would allow all but the largest urban districts to ask voters to approve a local income tax of up to 1 percent.
The bill, which will now go to the House, would give districts the option of taxing income, rather than relying completely on property taxes, as they do currently.

Recently, a CEO of a small company in Manhattan faced an issue. The CEO reported that his VoIP telephone system has been hacked and they have received a bill of $45,000 for making outgoing calls to Cuba. It has happened in just three days. The telecom fraud investigation team has found out that the hackers have accessed the company phone system to make the calls. They have easily accessed because the company does not have necessary security features in their telecom system. Moreover, there were two major problems that resulted to this extent.
Why were some of the problems exacerbated?
It is necessary to change the system administrator password from time to time. The password should have complex and lengthy alphanumeric characters. Though the manufacturer has given a default password, it should be changed by the user.
The system should send an alert to the administrator if the lock has been removed or opened. The alert feature is provided by most of the telecom service providers.
Check whether the entire voice messaging and multimedia interfaces to PBXs or call managers are appropriately restricted.
Administer transfer restrictions in adjunct and integrated peripheral equipment. Ensure to block access to trunk access codes and ARS codes.
Protect abused features with barrier codes, authentication codes or forced account codes.
Ensure to review and manage all out calling and thru dialling from adjunct equipment.
Do not permit default entries in permission or restriction lists.
When it comes to protecting voice message mailboxes, ensure to fix and implement customaries for complex passwords.
If the hackers try to break and misuse your system after breaking the above standards, then you have to approach the experts for an advanced secured telecom connection.
Do you manage your business by using different kinds of telecommunication systems? Do you have computers in your workplace? Well, you need to think about contacting a leading telecom security company for best results. The telecom company will provide solutions for various industries.

The audits usually cover three areas. It includes data security, revision of recommended policies and review of information and records on data integrity to improve the performance. The financial review is the most important area that the telecom audits would never miss in their functions.

Mt. Omuro is an old volcano, about 4,000 years old, located about 130 kilometers southwest of Shibuya, Tokyo, on the Izu Peninsula of Shizuoka prefecture. The mountain, some 580m tall, has an incredible view of the sea and Mt. Fuji on clear days. Despite the strong winds at the top, visitors come to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and fresh air. For 500 yen, visitors can purchase round-trip lift tickets to the top of the mountain. At the top, visitors can walk around the crater below, which houses an archery field. Archery, too, is an experience to try at Mt. Omuro for 1000 yen.
One tradition at Mt. Omuro is yamayaki, or burning the mountain. This event, which has occurred for the last 700 years, takes place annually on the second Sunday of February. The entire process only takes about 15 minutes, starting with the interior crater and finishing with the entire mountain.
The mountain and crater can be explored in 30-60 minutes at a leisurely pace. Afterwards, visitors can enjoy shopping for snacks and souvenirs at the base shops. A short walk away is Sakura no Sato, a cherry blossom park on the northwest side of Mt. Omuro. The 40,000 square meter park is a great place to enjoy flowering trees when they are in bloom with Mt. Fuji in the background.
Mt. Omuro is worth visiting at any time of year. Keep in mind that chairlifts may not operate in poor weather conditions. It may be better to visit in warmer months, however, due to the strong winds that blow over the moutain making even a warm spring day unbearably cold. Whatever the weather, visitors are sure to be mesmerized by the incredible views from Mt. Omuro.

Please beware! Do not trust the people at B&M Motorcars, in Leesburg, VA, they are liars and deceive their customers in order to make a sale, no matter what it takes! They fit the typical negative stereotype of money used-car salespeople, it’s shameful!
I recently financed a BMW Coupe at B&M Motorcars and initially I was greeted with smiles and great customer service. However, things changed once it came down to business. First of all, when I first inquired about a particular car I was interested in the sales representative gave me a different quote on the phone then what I was presented with when it came to signing at the dealership. The difference was of about $2K, and the dealership manager refused to honor the quote its representative had given me. Since, the car had a clean CarFax report and showed well, I proceeded with the purchase of the vehicle. Unfortunately, within a week of driving the car two different sensor detector lights came on; the ‘check engine’ light, and the oil filter light. At this point I decided to take the car to a mechanic to get an assessment on the issues that needed to be corrected before taking it back to the dealership. To my surprise I found that aside from having a multiple issues that need to be fixed, I didn’t even have a spare tire! The dealership had not bothered to give me a spare. Talk about complete disregard for customer safety!
Upon bringing the car back to the dealership I contacted my bank to cancel the loan on the vehicle, I decided that if the issues were not going to be resolved at no cost to me than I would just leave the car there. I expressed my concerns to the dealership manager who was not as receptive as he had been during our first meeting at the time of purchase; in fact, his professionalism was completely gone and he was quite rude. After much debate over the reasons why they should incur the cost of repair, they agreed that they would take care of issues. I requested something in writing that stated they would take care of the issues but the dealership manager told me I could take ‘his word’ that the issues would be corrected. That night, I called my bank and told them I was keeping the car after all. I left my car with the mechanics at the dealership believing that the issues would be taken care of, to my disbelief they weren’t taken car of at all!!! In fact, they kept the car for 4-days and only to provide me with my missing tire and fixed the issue with the ‘oil’ light (the cheapest issues that needed resolution). They refused to take care of the other issues pertaining to the ‘service engine’ light, and suggested that the best they could do is “temporally turn the ‘sensor engine’ light OFF, ” so that I can pass my out-of state inspection. This has been the most unprofessional and deceitful establishment I have ever been to; given the [censored]edil;ade of the establishment and their extended inventory of luxury vehicles, I expected something completely different. I’ve lost time, money, and have undergone incredible stress because of this car situation. I encourage anyone who wants to buy a car to keep looking at other options, especially if you want to avoid loss of money, high blood pressure and headaches.
Once B&M Motorcars sales you the car, they could care less about showing any kind of accountability or provide good customer service with any issues that may arise with it, there do not uphold the 30-day warranty period. The laws protecting such dealerships have many loop holes which make it easy for these institutions to get away with such behavior. Once again, please beware.
I had a very simliar experience dealing with B&M Motorcars of Leesburg, VA. When I initially contacted the dealership on April 20, 2012, speaking with a salesperson by the name of Ray Gillespie about a Mercedes I was quoted a totally different price than what I was quoted when I arrived at the dealership. Just like your case, I was provided a clean CarFax report for a Mercedes C-class. Based on this information and the fact that I received a close to sought after price for a my trade-in, I went ahead and continued with the purchase of the vehicle. When I was negotiating the sale, everyone was very friendly and accomodating. I was pleased with the look and feel of the car and drop off a happy customer. Unfortunately that was short lived. A day after driving off the lot with the vehicle I noticed the backseat seat belts were fastened. Since no one rode in the back seats and because it looked odd to me for some reason, I unfastened the seat belts. A few hours later while returning from a trip the SRS Restraint System Malfunction indicator light came on. Puzzled, I went online to research the possible cause, that's when I read that this was a passenger safety issue that could affect the deploying of the airbag system in the event of a crash. Well of course I knew I had to return the vehicle immediately, however just as the previous commentor mentioned I had a out-of-state vehicle inspection to complete, therefore I decided to wait until after the inspection, just in case there were other issues in need of attention, before I returned the car. I met with a neutral mechanic and he informed me this was a serious safety issue and should be looked at soon. Soon after, later that morning, I returned the vehicle to B&M Motorcars informing them of the issues with the vehicle. It had only been a few days since I purchased the document and prior to my arrival at the dealership I felt confident that B&M Motorcars would honor the 30-day or 1, 000 mile warranty attached to the vehicle after the purchase. Oh how I was so wrong., unfortunately B&M Motorcars honors nothing. I was instantly given the scripted response. First I was asked to wait in the waiting area until after their "master mechanic", who just happened to have last worked at Mercedes of Alexandria, looked at the vehicle. About 30 minutes later, Mr. Gillespie returned again with the CarFax report in hand to reassure me that the vehicle was a "certified" Mercedes Benz. He then told me that the mechanic checked the problem and fixed the issue. I asked him if he turned the light off he answered yes. When I got into the car to start it up light came right on. I bought this to Mr. Gillespie's attention letting him know that I don't beleive his mechanic attempted to fix anything. Mr. Gillespie then tried to act surprised and dumbfounded and asked the mechanic to come over to the car. The mechanic then states that there was a recall currently for this issue by Mercedes. He told me to call Mercedes to have them fix it. I told him no problem, I'll call Mercedes of Alexandria right now while he stood there to confirm this. I placed the Mercedes representative on speaker and confirmed that there was NO recall for that issue. Then the mechanic and Mr. Gillespie said there was a "service bulletin" on the vehicle for that issue. So, I called the Mercedes rep back and asked about the service bulletin. Once again, there was none. By this time I am out of patience, Mr. Gillespie walked back into the dealership and returned telling me to take the car to a Mercedes dearlership to get an diagnosis and estimate for repair. He said once I get the estimate, I should fax the estimate to B&M Motorcars so they can remedy the issue. I made an appointment for the following morning. I took the car in and confirmed once and for all that there was no recalls/service bulletins and the problem was the back passenger seatbelt that needed to be replaced at a cost of $300. The diagnostic cost me $156 that day. I asked the service manager to fax the estimate to B&M Motorcars, which he did. He also stated that he remmbered Mr. Gillespie from that particular dealership where he was TERMINATED. I called Mr. Gillespie at B&M Motorcars and confirmed his receipt of the estimate. He told me it wouldn't be until the following Monday before he could have an answer about the repair. Monday morning Mr. Gillespie telephoned me and left a message that he was still working on getting the car fixed and that B&M Motorcars would probably just order the part and perform the repair themselves. on Tuesday morning I sent Mr. Gillespie a message requesting the status of the repair and was told that there was no word yet. I asked Mr. Gilespie who's word was I awaiting, he told me to call the dearleship and ask for the manager.
Here is where they lost all customer service points. I called and asked to speak with the dealership manager. I was transferred to some man with a heavy, almost made up accent who barely told me his name. When I told him who I was and why I was calling, he then asked me what did I want them to do about it. I responded that I wanted the dealership to fix the problem or pay to have the repair done elsewhere. He then ask me was the light on when I drove off in a very sarcastic tone. I told him no, but it came on once I unfastened the seat belts the very next day. He told me, well that's too bad and this issue is not covered under their warranty. I asked him why this information and denial of service was not given to me on the Friday I bought the vehicle in before I was told to seek a $156 diagnosis just to end up with a vehicle still not repaired. He placed me on hold and then came back claiming to have chewed out Mr. Gillespie and letting me know that both Mr. Gillespie and the mechanic where wrong to give me that information. He claimed that he would also be "chewing" out the mechanic as well. I responded and told him that I think his dealership should at least return the money I spent on the useless diagnostic. He claimed he would speak to the owner to see if I could get a portion of my money back. I haven't heard from anyone since.
This is most likely not what you would call a "real dealership" that actually services and takes responsibility for what they sell. These are most likely similar to the fly-by-night businesses (like the cars sold by street vendors along the back alleys in DC and Maryland mentioned recenntly on TV) in that they the obtain vehicles for little or nothing whose owners can no longer pay for them, bank repossessions, bankruptcy victims, those who have to sell everything they own due to economic hardships, stuff that is returned to auction that has been driven into the ground by drivers of motor pools and rental agencies but not properly serviced, abused vehicles, lemons, and most likely lots of stuff cleaned up after it gets washed ashore or pulled out of a river or estuary after a hurricane or tsumami from other parts of the country. They make their money off them by charging a tiny "fee to play" (currently $37.00) and signing you up to assume the payments that the former owner would not. Of course, the bank pays them off for every car they successfully can pawn off on somebody. Now how many folks in severe economic stress are going to be keeping up the repairs and maintainance regularly on their vehicle, when what little welfare money they have coming in is having to feed their family and put a roof over their heads? We get cheap-looking, screaming flyers in the mail frequently from this outfit--"NO CREDIT, doesn't matter--just pay us $37 and we will have you in any of thousands of vehicles of your choice in no time, , ." They are simply a pipeline business set up to move distressed merchandise to be resold or re-appropriated from severely distressed people and areas of the country, then brought to the "richest county' in the states" where they can find lots of people with lots of money who love to think they have found a great bargain. Thus, they get rid of them quickly and with no overhead or responsibility--do they tell you the vehicle is not being sold to you, you are merely accepting it as is and taking over the payments for the bank or finance company trying to re-animate the tranches of dead loans it bought during the banking crises?. Or is that disclaimer lost in print only readable with a microscope? Let's let wisdom prevail here--unless you are yourself a master mechanic with a flair for "flipping" nice cars after fixing them up yourself for a profit, repossession mills are better left alone.
From dreamers that want luxury cars and can't afford them, to the ones that buy a used car and expect it to be new, and then the ones that look for the cheapest things online, then complain that a dealer doesn't want to help. An example: If any of you would sell a car for less than what you purchased it for, would you still pay more to make it look like it's 5000 USD more? You all may say, that you would and that a company should do that... then you must be lying and/or don't understand business. Go back to school and get some brains. There are real hardships elsewhere in the world, real issues. Stop crying and grow up. Knowledge is what separates smart people from stupid people, so stop being stupid.

sites. Wandering down this ancient town's cobblestone streets, you'll discover that its moat and many of its fortifications remain intact, including nearly half of its battlements and ramparts. Beaune is also a paradise for lovers of medieval architecture, with its Hospices de Beaune being its crowning glory.
Although Beaune is a small town -- population 21,000 -- it is a very important wine making center and home to many fine restaurants and cafes, including four that have at least one Michelin star. In addition, this town -- which is located on the 30-mile route des Grands Crus, the Wine Route -- is also surrounded by numerous wine villages. So, not surprisingly, one of the most popular things to do while in Beaune is visiting the town's many wine cellars and tasting the region's spectacular wines.
After the Hundred Years' War ended in 1453, Beaune struggled mightily under the dual burdens of famine and extreme poverty. To help the citizens in Beaune, the Chancellor of Burgundy, Nicholas Rolin, built the Hospices de Beaune, which was a hospital for the poor. The building he constructed was no ordinary structure. In fact, the Hospices de Beaune -- with its stunning multi-colored glazed tile roof -- is considered by many to be an excellent example of 15th-century French architecture.
Today, the original, ornately decorated Hospices de Beaune has been turned into a museum and is considered a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Beaune. In addition to its patterned tile roofs, this building also boasts gilded spires, dormer windows, and an arcaded courtyard. Its beauty has even earned it the nickname "The Palace of the Poor." One of the highlights of the museum is the Last Judgement Polyptych -- a large altarpiece -- which was painted by Flemish artist, Rogier van der Weyden.
The Hospices de Beaune is also the site of a well-known charity wine auction, which has been held annually since 1851 on the third Sunday in November. It is considered by many to be the world's most famous charity wine sale, and it attracts wine connoisseurs from around the world. The proceeds of this sale support the hospital, which has moved to more modern facilities but is still serving the public today.
This wine museum is located in the Hotel des Ducs de Bourgogne, which was the former mansion of the dukes of Burgundy. The museum features many giant wine presses and other tools used in the wine-making business.
If you arrive in Beaune on a Saturday, you must visit its weekly market, which is located in the Halle, right across from the Hotel-Dieu. At this market, you'll find a large variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, sweets, wine, cheeses, and meats. There is also another market that is held on Wednesdays, though it is much smaller.
This festival, which was founded in 1982, is a celebration of Baroque opera. It occurs every weekend throughout July.
Also known as the Basilique Notre-Dame, this church is located in the center of Beaune. The church was first built in the 13th Century in a style known as Burgundian Romanesque, but it also has additions from other periods, including a Renaissance bell tower. Admission to the church itself is free. There is a charge, however, to see the Basilica's amazing collection of 15th-century tapestries.

Andrew Cunanan has become sort of an infamous legend as his story is being shared with the world in FX television’s series, American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace. In 1997, the infamous killer was the 449th member of the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted list. Andrew Cunanan was born of a Filipino American and Italian American parents. During his early childhood, Andrew was considered an intelligent and outgoing boy. As he aged, he began to develop a reputation as a pathological liar. He would tell tall tales about his family and personal life.
When Andrew was 19, his father left his family in an effort to escape embezzlement charges. It was then when he told his mother that he was gay. Andrew and his mother got into a verbal altercation, which later became physical when Andrew threw his mother against a wall, dislocating her shoulder.
Andrew’s killing spree did not begin with rich white men, as it ended. His first victim was Jeffrey Trail on April 27, 1997. Trail and Cunanan got into an argument. This led to the belligerent bashing of Trail’s head and body with a claw hammer. He left Trail rolled up in a carpet in his friend David Madson’s apartment.
Cunanan’s second murder occurred about 60-miles north of his first crime scene in Rush City, Minnesota. Andrew murdered his former lover, David Madson, on May 3, 1997. He executed David with multiple gunshots to the back of the head.
It wasn’t long before Cunanan struck again. He drove straight to Chicago to visit Lee Miglin, a real estate tycoon. The very next day, Cunanan left Lee wrapped with duct tape around his head, hands, and feet. According to the reports, Andrew stabbed Lee over 20 times with a screwdriver and used a hacksaw to cut his throat. It was at this point the FBI added Cunanan to the Top Ten Most Wanted list.
After taking care of Lee Miglin, Andrew began his descent to Miami. On his way, Andrew found his fourth victim, William Reese. Reese was Andrew’s most random murder. The likely reason for William’s death was that Andrew needed a car to complete his journey. Reese was shot to death and his red pickup truck was stolen.
Between his fourth and fifth murders, Andrew hid in plain sight along the coast of Miami Beach for nearly two months. He would even pawn stolen items under his real name, knowing the police would search the records of pawn shops. On July 15th, 1997 Cunanan committed his fifth and final murder, the wrongful death of legendary fashion designer, Gianni Versace.
Just a week later, Andrew Cunanan was found dead on the second floor of a Miami Beach houseboat. It appeared that Andrew had killed himself with the same gun he used for three of his murders. He did not leave a suicide note and was only found with a few personal items.

I Don't Hold Grudge On Balakrishna!
Ram Gopal Varma has patiently answered the questions raised by the Journalists during the trailer launch of Lakshmi's NTR.
Varma revealed, 'I met Balakrishna to discuss about NTR Biopic sometime ago. My idea of NTR biopic is different from that of his idea. I always wanted to make the biopic on NTR and Lakshmi Parvathi. So, The project hasn't materialised due to creative differences'.
The Filmmaker, however, clarifies he neither holds grudge on Balakrishna nor made Lakshmi's NTR to satisfy his ego. He clarified there is no political agenda behind the subject preferred by him.
To the question if he received any threats, Varma told: 'I received threats from those who take part in TV Debates. I believe those who warn won't hurt you and those who hurts you doesn't issue any warning'.
To the query 'Many People are curious to watch Lakshmi's NTR. Was it because of Chandrababu Naidu's role or Lakshmi Parvathi's character?â€™, RGV replied: 'Many memorable incidents happened from August crisis till the death of NTR. Many Individuals are involved in the incidents happened at that time. They might be friends or enemies or could be in different positions. Curiosity isn't because of one individual, but everything in totality'.

One of the things the Christian world does not get hold of with a strong grip is the conscious presence of Christ with us now. Somehow there is an inclination in the Christian spirit to feel that Jesus, when He left the earth, returned to Glory, and in consequence is not present with us now.
It would naturally seem as if a separation had been contemplated because of His return to Glory, but no such separation is contemplated on the part of Christ. Christ promises His omnipotent presence with us always, Christ omnipresent everywhere. Present in the soul, present in the world, present always unto the end of the age.
As Paul was going down the road to Damascus, when the presence of God’s Glory shone around him, he fell prostrate on the earth, and heard a voice speaking to him. When he demanded to know who it was, the voice replied, “I am Jesus.” Jesus was present with him as a Saviour to deliver him from his difficulties and his sins.
At a later time in Paul’s career, he returned to Jerusalem, and was in danger of his life. While he prayed in the temple, he was overshadowed by the Spirit, and says, “I was in a trance, and saw Him saying unto me, make haste and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning Me.” Paul endeavours to argue with the Lord about it. That conversation has always been a blessing to my soul. It is so real. I have always been so glad that Paul answered back to the Lord, and the details of the conversation have been recorded.
Christ is the living presence, not only with us, but to the real Christian, He is in us, a perpetual joy, power and Glory in our life. When a soul reaches to the heights of God it will only be because of the guiding and counselling and indwelling and infilling of Christ.
Blessed Jesus, Lord and God, He who dwells within.
Blessed Jesus, He who came to free our hearts from sin.
That we too may call thee Lord.
And ever from sin set free.
Many of us no doubt have been struck with the beautiful war story that has been going the rounds of the magazines for some months, called “The Comrade.” It is the sense of comradeship that makes the Lord Jesus not only a Saviour in the ordinary sense, but a Saviour and Companion in all our ways and walks of life, filling the place in our soul that only a comrade can fill.
One of my exploring expeditions while in Africa, I met a man in Portuguese East Africa, who told me he had lived for eleven years with only natives as his associates. One evening as we came along, passing through the veldt, I observed this little cabin, which indicated the presence of an European. So I started over, expecting to discover a man with some white blood in him at least. But I was overjoyed to find he was an intelligent English gentleman.
He sat all night and talked about the ordinary things that were going on in the world about us. It was the first time he had any outside news in several years. We sat fellowshipping during the night.
Before I went away in the morning I asked him what it was he missed more than anything else since he had been out there. He replied, “Mr Lake, I guess one word will cover it. “Comradeship.” The lack of that real soul comradeship which makes life so dear to every man.
Paul gives us a still different vision of the presence and power of Christ with us in the fourth of Ephesians. This time it is as a Transformer.
This shows the ultimate purpose of Christ as Saviour, of Christ as a Companion, of Christ as the Indweller. Christ’s presence with us is not just as an outward companion, but an indwelling, divine force, revolutionising our nature and making us like Him. Indeed, the final and ultimate purpose of the Christ is that the Christian shall be reproduced in His own likeness, within and without.
That transformation is to be an inner transformation. It is a transformation of our life, of our nature, into His nature, into His likeness.
How the mechanical fades away in view of the living fact that Christ purposes to accomplish in us through the Spirit. How wonderful the patience, and marvellous the power that takes possession of the soul of man and accomplishes the will of God, in His absolute transformation into the real beautiful holiness of the character of Jesus.
Our heart staggers when we think of such a calling, when we think of such a nature, when we contemplate such a character. That is God’s purpose for you and me.
Or until by the transforming operation of the Spirit of God we are remade, or transformed, Until our nature is transformed by the operation of the Spirit of God in our soul, then we are remade or transformed. Until our nature is transformed into the nature of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
His was the perfect character. Consequently every other character that can be co-joined with Him in real heirship must be like God’s Son. Jesus never can present that which is faulty or evil or weak to the Father. The transforming grace of God must take away, and does take away, sin from the soul of man. It gives him His strength instead of human weakness. It supplies the grace that makes him like the Lord Jesus Christ.
When Jesus stood before the disciples, just prior to His going out into the Garden, He delivered to them that wonderful address of the 14th, 15th, and 16th of John. He climaxed it with that marvellous high priestly prayer of the 17th. He endeavoured to bring them to understand His nature and power. Knowing that all power had been given unto Him. He took a towel and a basin and proceeded to wash the disciples’ feet. When He had finished He said, “Know ye not what I have done unto you. In explanation He said, “If I then your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.” In assuming the attitude of a servant He had taught mankind what their relation as brother should be.
When we examine the human heart and endeavour to discover what it is that retards our progress, I believe we find that pride in the human soul perhaps is the greatest difficulty we have to overcome. Jesus taught us a wonderful humility… taking the place of a slave. So we are enjoined to thus treat and love one another.
His presence with us, His presence in us must produce in our hearts the same conditions that were in His own. It must bring into our life the same humility that was in Him. It is one of the secrets of entrance into the grace of God.
“When the precious Christ enters into the unregenerated heart He becomes the very centre of their being, He becomes the very peak of their ambition, that they might be like Him. He through true humility of His soul, left the things of His glorious Father’s Kingdom to come into this world of woe and sin; by which He was enabled to live the life of perfection in this earth and become the real Redeemer and Sympathiser of mankind.” (Tongues and interpretation).
That is the vital sense of real Comradeship that makes the Spirit of Jesus one with us, so that we realise and He realises when the conditions of our nature and mind affect Him.
For two days I have been under a tremendous burden, one of these spirit burdens that come at times, when you can not define them. I could not tell whence it came. But every little while I felt I wanted to sit down and cry. Presently during the day a friend came and unloaded the burden of her soul to me, and then I realized that I had been under the burden for that soul for two days. I had not known the trouble existed.
That is the character of Comradeship, which is between the real Christian and the Christ. The Christian feels the burdens of the Christ and the Christ feels the burdens of the Christian and being united as one spirit, the interest of the Christ are the interests of the Christian, and the interests of the Christian are the interests of the Christ. That relationship is of the truest, deepest order, It is the relationship of spirit with spirit.
When a young man, before I had entered into this life, indeed from my boyhood, there were times when my spirit would become overshadowed with the burden of another life, sometimes with the sorrows of another. I had one of these experiences when perhaps not more that ten or eleven years of age. On a particular Sunday, I arose with one of these burdens on my spirit, and I walked out into the fields. There was a high hill on my father’s farm. The sun had not yet gotten over this hill. When I got to the top I looked down over the beautiful field. There was a lake, and I was thinking how beautiful it was and all the surroundings. In the midst of it tears commenced to run and I sat down on a stone and cried. After a while I got up and wondered why I was crying. Several days later we received a letter telling that dear old Grandfather had died. And then the old Grandmother had said, “Well, I do not want to live any more,” and she died also. Around them were a group of sorrowing friends, and somehow my spirit contacted that sorrow.
One of the truest things in all my life, in my relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, has been to feel that He was capable of knowing my sorrows, and yours. And that in the truest sense He thereby became our Comrade.
There is a union between the Christ and the Christian that is so deep, so pure so sweet, so real that the very condition of the human spirit are transmitted to His, and the conditions of the Christ’s Spirit are transmitted to ours. It is because of the continuous inflow of the Spirit of Christ in our heart that we appreciate or realise His power and triumph. It lifts man above his surroundings and causes him to triumph anywhere and everywhere.
The Christian life is designed by God to be a life of splendid, holy triumph. That triumph is produced in us through the continuous inflow and abiding presence of the Spirit of the triumphant Christ. He brings into our nature the triumph that He enjoys. Indeed the mature Christian, having entered into that consciousness of overcoming through the Spirit of Christ, is privileged to transmit that same overcoming power and spirit to other lives, in and through the power of the Spirit of God.
That is why the Christian who is joined with the Christ, lives, moves and has his being in the same life, in the same Spirit that the Christ is and has, and is therefore the reproduction of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I answered a question on explaining atheism on 29 January 2012. You can listen to or download the podcast of just this question below – or check out the whole episode of Philosophy in Action Radio.
How can I effectively explain my atheism to religious believers? When I discuss religion with believers – mostly Christians – I find that I can't easily explain why I don't believe in God. Should I appeal to the principle of the "primacy of existence"? Should I explain the problems with the arguments for the existence of God? Or should I try a different approach?
My Answer, In Brief: The best way to discuss the reasons for rejecting belief in God depend on the context, particularly whether you are explaining your own views or trying to convince the other person. Either way, be patient and try to speak to their rational concerns.

If you really want to change culture you need structural reform, not the overlaying of new and shiny values and behaviours.
It’s critical to truly understand your organisation and its desired end state before implementing any kind of online collaboration tools.
The word has come down from on-high. The CEO wants a more collaborative and communicatively oriented organisation (their words, not mine). Command and control is sooo last decade. This decade it’s about dialogue, listening, agility, flexibility, responsiveness, being in touch with each other and the customer. It’s about engagement. And there’s a tool for that, right? Plug it in and away we go?
This scenario is fairly typical in the major culture change initiatives we see today. It’s perhaps a bit more popular at the moment because technology has provided many tools to enable more collaborative communication. Yet, it is also common knowledge that culture change takes a long time to occur, and there are people who question whether you really ever change a culture.
Some argue that culture change initiatives are like multiple layers of corporate wallpaper, scratch the surface and you will see residue of past cultural imprints. The original wall is the ‘culture’ of the organisation. If you really want to change the culture you need structural reform, not the overlaying of more attractive values and behaviours.
For the aspiring CEO mentioned in the first paragraph to have a chance of success, there’s some questions that need answering.
1) What’s your cultural gap analysis like?
How big a leap is it for your organisation to move to its current behaviours to one that acts in a collaborative fashion?
Do a simple test. Ask each division what the other divisions do. Score the answers on accuracy (e.g. shared knowledge) and the tone with which the answer is delivered (how do the teams actually feel about it each other – are they scornful, are they admiring?). If there is a lack of understanding about what others do, and not a lot of regard for them, you are looking at large scale culture change.
If you are looking at a significant transformation, as opposed to a relatively minor adaptation, then you are going to need to throw a lot of resources at developing a collaborative culture. It’s also going to take time, and there’s a high probability that as CEO, you won’t recognise the benefits within your tenure. Are you up for that? Having said that, never underestimate the power of small wins.
2) How long has the previous culture thrived or survived?
History matters, and may be a key reason for the success of the company. That’s a pretty compelling argument against changing the culture of the organisation. If the external environment has remained relatively static, is your preferred change is fad? Or ego driven? Make sure any change you’re working towards provides a competitive advantage and is aligned with your strategy.
What is the technological knowledge in your organisation like? Are your employees comfortable with existing technology?
4) What are the HR reward systems?
If I share something will it be to my detriment, or is it recognised in performance reviews?
I came across an interesting example of this in one of my PhD case studies. The new CEO was intent on introducing a dialogue-driven, continuously changing organisation of the Peter Senge type. One of his senior staff made a very expensive mistake with a client, and other staff members were angry and looking for reprisals. The CEO wouldn’t hear of it. Living up to the commitment set out in their desired future state, The CEO knew that employees needed to be rewarded for taking risks, and acknowledge that mistakes will sometimes happen. The episode became a very powerful symbol of transformational change.
5) What’s your communication plan for introducing the new culture?
The irony is that you will still require a communications 1.0 approach to introducing a web 2.0 world. You need to research your employees’ attitudes and abilities towards collaborative work. It’s also important to realise that collaboration means different things to different people. Make sure you know how you’re going to bring people along with you for the journey.
6) Have you got an e-change agent?
An e-change agent is someone whose role is to nurture online interactions, support the use of enterprise tools, seed conversations, encourage those who do use the tools, and connect with those who don’t. They’ve probably got a lot of experience in change management and can provide content such as tools and templates to support initiatives. Traditionally they have operated out of programme offices, or as community managers.
So how does your organisation stack up?
You can learn more about introducing collaboration tools to facilitate change in my book Conversations of Change: A guide to implementing workplace change.

Hands on and interactive displays complement exhibits of fossils, skeletons, and life-size reconstructions. The Museum has earned a reputation nationally for its excellent interpretative techniques.
Dinosaurs ruled the land for about 150 million years, finally becoming extinct 65 million years ago. Our fascination with dinosaurs started in the 1820's and when in 1841 Sir Richard Owen invented the word "dinosauria" - meaning terrible lizard - to describe this group of prehistoric monsters, a kind of dinosaur fever or 'dinomania' was created.
The visitor immediately encounters a skeleton of the famous meat-eating dinosaur, Megalosaurus, with its sickle-like claws and teeth, mounted over footprints made by that dinosaur. It vividly contrasts with the skeleton of the small fleet-footed plant-eating dinosaur, Hypsilophodon displayed in the same gallery.
The life-size reconstructions beg to be touched by small hands. This is encouraged, along with the handling of some fossils. The juvenile T rex is 3.6 metres tall and over 6 metres long. Tyrannosaurus rex is one of the largest meat-eating animals ever to have lived. Adjacent to T rex is Deinonychus with its sickle-claw, whilst nearby is Stegosaurus, distinctive for the double row of bony plates arranged along its back and the large spikes on its tail.
The Museum's courtyard is dominated by the reconstruction of the massive Triceratops, characterised by its enormous head, bony frill, and three long horns. Computer and cinematic programmes relate the fascinating story of these prehistoric animals. Visitors can feel into the past with the 'feely' box and discover what a dinosaur really felt like, if they dare! The colour chamber gives the opportunity to experiment with different colour combinations and to speculate on what colour dinosaurs were -nobody actually knows for certain because colour does not fossilize. Feel a Fossil allows you to identify various fossils by touch alone. These are just a few of the hands on and interactive displays.
Three-dimensional displays and exhibits are complemented by a wealth of informative graphical and pictorial material. Displays are stratified vertically with simple facts low down and more in-depth information higher up. The Dinosaur Museum is regularly featured on television, appearing in documentaries, children's and entertainment programmes such as Blue Peter, the Tweenies and Tikkabilla.
The Dinosaur Museum was nominated for the European Museum of the Year award in 1985, the year after it opened. Since then it has been awarded Dorset's Family Attraction of the Year in 1997, and acclaimed as 'one of Britain's ten best child friendly museums' in 2006.Most recently the museum has featured as one of the AA's Top 50 Days Out.
The Dinosaur Museum is in the centre of Dorchester. Use the town centre car parks and the museum is only a very short walk from any of them. Look out for pedestrian signs.

Weigh the leg, wipe all over with vinegar and dry with a clean tea towel. Avoid using kitchen paper as this can disintegrate.
Put the box somewhere that is cool, dry, away from vermin and can be left undisturbed for a month. Add a layer of PDV salt (about 2cm) to the box. Place the leg on top with the skin facing down. Pour salt over the leg until it is completely covered. Make sure that there is an additional 2cm layer of salt on top.
Place a sheet of plywood which just fits inside the box on top of the salt. Weigh this down. Concrete blocks, bricks, bags of cement are all good. Leave the box for 3 days per kilo. Make a note in the diary!
Remove ham from salt. Rinse under cold running water. Dry with a tea towel. Rub with malt vinegar. Wrap loosely in muslin or hang in a net bag. Make sure that it is hanging somewhere that is cool and breezy. Avoid direct sunlight or anywhere that will warm it up. Leave it for anywhere between six months and a year. Inspect every month. Clean off mound with a toothbrush dipped in malt vinegar.
If the meat is still soft to the touch then it’s not ready. Wait until it is firm.
To serve – cut away the skin and as much of the fat as possible. Using a long and thin carving knife, cut wafer thin slices as required. To store, wrap tightly in cling film and store in the fridge.

If you travel a lot and always go to different countries it can be much more comfortable to use only one prepaid number which can be used (almost) worldwide.
Here we list some of the "international offers" available by now.
Travelsim is one of the oldest companies to have launched a prepaid international card, using an Estonian (EMT) number.
Rates are rather good (expecially for eastern Europe, including Russia) and the service is usually reliable.
PrepaidGSM has a referral agreement with the Travelsimhop dealer, so here we link to this online shop for Travelsim.
XXSIM uses the same platform as Travelsim, but it's a Swiss service. Rates are basically the same as Travelsim.
Tru, formerly Truphone, is by now the most interesting offer using Jersey, US and Australia prefix.
British (+44.7872) prepaid international sim-card plus local prepaid sim cards.
Cellularabroad offers the National Geographic prepaid international sim card, a reliable service, if not the cheapest, with high quality support.
They also sell national prepaid cards for several countries for people who want to get their sim in advance.
Maxroam has launched its latest offer using a Belgian based simcard. They have no free incoming calls in any place, but for the rest all rates are extremely attractive. The same applies to Buzzroam.
Several companies offer IoM based international sim-cards, but with different prefixes. The offers with the above mentioned prefixes can be called by British mobiles at no extra charge (free if you have free minutes to mobiles), as if they were "normal" British mobile numbers.
During 2006 and 2007 dozens of new international operators came out, all offering Isle of Man prefixes, some with good offers, some a bit less, surely too many to be all listed here. Unfortunately most of them seem to have died in September 2007, when the service provider which offered them the IoM prefix closed its activity, with very few information about what happened. Some International providers moved to other service providers with Jersey or Estonian prefix.
Geosim started its operations again in 2008, still with IoM prefix number, as well as GT-Sim, which has different offers, and also including a dual-sim phone.
The most long established postpaid global sim-card is the one sold by Mobal, which is a British O2 postpaid contract, without any monthly charge, you just pay as you use. It's surely the most reliable service among global sim-cards, but rates are very expensive.
Telna Mobile is a newcomer in the area of global sim cards, but not in the telecom industry as it has been providing fixed long distance service since 2002. The card has an annual fee of US$ 49, with rates lower than Mobal. A web interface allows to check voicemail messages without paying for airtime.
PrePaidGSM has an affiliation program with both Mobal and Telna Mobile, so if you decide to buy and use one (or both) of these offers, please click on the links provided on these pages in order to help PrePaidGSM. Thanks!

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier is out four weeks after suffering a knee injury for the second time in five months.
General manager Ron Hextall provided the update Wednesday, saying Couturier was injured Aug. 10 in an exhibition game.
Hextall expects Couturier to be a limited participant in training camp when the Flyers get on the ice Sept. 14 and for him to be full-go halfway in. Hextall says it's not the same injury the 25-year-old suffered when he damaged the medial collateral ligament in his right knee during the playoffs when he collided with teammate Radko Gudas in practice.
Couturier is coming off a breakout season in which he was promoted to Philadelphia's No. 1 center and set career highs with 31 goals, 45 assists and 76 points. He finished third on the team in scoring.
