Embryonic research post-1990 is now are backing up the pro-life argument. (A lot of this knowledge has arisen from study of mouse and sheep embryos, though ironically also from work on human embryos after the passing of the HFE Act in 1990). It has now been discovered that embryonic cells are not as "totipotent" (power to become anything) as once thought. The cells in the morula relate to one another, hence differente between themselves. The position of a specific cell in the morula determines its subsequent development into an organ of the body.
For example, the position of an embryonic cell within the egg membrane is determined by the position of the sperm at entry. The axis of the future backbone is determined at this time, within 1-3 minutes after penetration.
Even at the 2-cell stage, the evidence points to one cell having the potential for producing the placenta, amniotic fluid and the umbilical cord. The other cell will become the embryo and foetus. So there is a closed differentiating system and it is human.
This differentiating closed human system is a human individual at an early stage in its development. It is a human individual with potential. It is one continuum with the later rational human adult.
The next logical step is to propose that, as the later rational human adult is a "person", so too is the embryo and the later foetus. Human persons have rights, so too has the human embryo and the foetus. There is a right to life.
Father Dylan pointed out that, if despite the supporting scientific evidence, there is still residual doubt in one's mind over the status of the human embryo, then we must go for the moral certainty principle; we cannot risk murder. We must play safe and support the human embryo.
In spite of the promises made by the proponents for the use of embryonic stem cells, that research globally has not provided any cures.
The use of these stem cells does not pose ethical problems.
Father Dylan pointed out that in the ethical system of the Catholic Church, the end does not justify the means. Any possible benefits cannot justify our supporting evil means. In this case we cannot support the experimentation and destruction of human embryos, in the hope that future cures for human illness will result.

Wellness Why do we need to soak Nuts??
Why do we need to soak Nuts??
We know nuts are a great snack on the run, to curb those hungry vibes but did you know they can also help keep your skin looking younger! They are pretty damn neat.
Nuts are jam packed full of essential fatty acids which are known to reduce inflammation, like breakouts, rashes etc (similar to our beloved turmeric). Not only that they contain Vitamin E, Zinc and Magnesium the most powerful antioxidants to help skin repair itself naturally.
Next time your skin is feeling a little dull, grab a handful of nuts, the options are endless, Pecans, Sunflower Seeds, Walnuts, Pumpkin Seeds, Almonds, Macadamias, Cashews – SO FREAKING MANY!
So why do they need soaking?
I get asked by my clients allot, why do you need to soak nuts before cooking, eating or making bliss balls??
Don’t think that taking the time to soak them is a waste of time, heres why!
I soak my nuts for a minimum of 6 hours (or overnight, is even better) to break down the phytic acid and enzymes, so the body can absorb and digest the nutrients easier.
What’s the point of eating all the good foods if your body can’t utilise them?
I hope you found this helpful, and a little easier to understand why i recommend soaking your nuts before consuming or baking with them!

THE St Patrick's Day travels of jetsetting Arts, Sport and Tourism Minister Martin Cullen to Houston and Miami cost the taxpayer €10,500.
The minister, who was recently at the centre of controversy over his use of State helicopters, flew first class to America, while his private secretary flew economy class.
According to the minister's bill for the St Patrick's Day trip across the Atlantic, the two flights cost €7,850, accommodation €1,607, local transport €600 and "sundry expenses" €285.
The €10,500 bill is substantially down on his trip to Atlanta and Miami last year, which cost €21,133.
Over the course of last week's five day trip to Houston and Miami, Mr Cullen attended the Seatrade Cruise Shopping Convention in Miami to "consolidate cruise liner business at Irish ports". He also met with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines about developing Irish tourism links.
The itineraries of all 17 ministers who travelled abroad last week were provided to the Irish Independent after the numbers taking to the skies for the March 17 festivities were halved in a bid to cut costs.
Last year, the bill for 33 ministers amounted to €523,621.
It is expected that this year's bill should see that amount halved.

On April 10, 2017, a 53-year-old man walked into a special needs classroom in San Bernadino, California, pulled out a gun, and shot his estranged wife, 53-year-old Karen Elaine Smith. Two children standing near Smith were also hit by gunfire; 8-year-old Jonathan Martinez died later at the hospital. The gunman then turned his gun on himself.
Just two weeks later, on April 24, a Caltrans worker was arguing with his supervisor at a maintenance facility in Rio Dell, California. He pulled out a handgun and fatally shot 61-year-old Annette Brooks, before shooting himself.
It’s no coincidence that both of the victims of these fatal workplace incidents were women. Homicide is the second-leading cause of work-related death for women, second only to roadway incidents (which are the leading cause of work-related death for men and women); nearly one in five women who die at work (18 percent) die as a result of violence. Overall, violence is the fourth-leading cause of work-related deaths, but for men, it falls all the way to fifth place—only 8 percent of men who die at work die in violent incidents.
There are a few reasons women are more likely than men to die at work. One is that they are more likely to work in professions like nursing and social work that experience high levels of violence from customers and clients. Women also make up about half of the retail workforce, putting them at risk of robbery-related violence.
But, regardless of profession, all women are at far higher risk than their male counterparts of what is called “domestic violence workplace spillover.” It is just what it sounds like: violent men, like Karen Elaine Smith’s estranged husband, track down their girlfriends, wives, estranged wives, or ex-wives at work, with murderous intent.
Victims of domestic violence are at increased risk at work because it’s often more difficult for them to change their workplace than it is to change their residence or their phone number. It’s easier to find them at work. And when an abuser tracks down his victim at work, other people in the workplace are often at risk—sometimes co-workers, sometimes children like Jonathan Martinez.
For this reason, some employers have chosen to minimize risk in the workplace by simply firing women who are known to be victims of domestic violence, or who have obtained an order of protection against a significant other. Holy Trinity School in El Cajon notoriously took this route when it fired second-grade teacher Carie Charlesworth after a domestic violence incident involving her husband, who came onto school grounds. A study conducted in 2011 by the Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center’s Project SURVIVE found that nearly 40 percent of domestic violence victims have been fired or feared being fired as a result of domestic violence. One victim reported being refused entry to her office to retrieve her possessions or say goodbye to co-workers.
This is now illegal in California, as the result of a law that took effect in 2014. Senate Bill 400, introduced by State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) and signed by Governor Jerry Brown in 2013 prohibits California employers from firing or discriminating against an employee who has been a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. The law instead requires employers to make reasonable efforts to protect these victims from their abuser or stalker.
Encouraging reporting. Women must feel comfortable telling their employer about violent partners, sexual assaults or stalkers, because protective measures can’t be put in place unless the employer knows about the situation.
Making reasonable changes. It’s important to make the worker more difficult to find. This can be done by changing the worker’s number, relocating her desk or classroom or moving her to a different work location (for example, a different retail outlet) and adjusting her work schedule to the extent possible.
Securing the workplace. It can be difficult to restrict access to some workplaces, for example, in the restaurant and retail industry, but this should be done to the extent possible. Managers and security personnel should have photographs of and be able to recognize the offender; if he is seen on-site, security and the police should be immediately notified. Special precautions may be needed while the victim is arriving at and departing from the workplace.
Preparing a safety plan. Victims of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking can prepare a safety plan that addresses their security at all times, including during work hours. Several templates are available from domestic-violence prevention organizations, including this one from the National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence.

We have organized many first aid training sessions before, however I must comment that Synergy's team of instructors were hands down the best trainers we have ever had. They were professional, highly skilled and judged the room and our teams ability just perfectly. Well done Sam and team!
Your instructors are the best! We had a very large group and your team accomodated our requirements with ease. The content you delivered was some of the most comprehensive we have ever received, yet it was taught in a manner that was easy to understand and memorable. Highly recommend your training services!
Your training should be taught to everyone - life saving skills like never before! Your instructor Jeff is so passionate and knowledgeable it's almost scary :-). Great work!
I can't believe I have been missing your training all these years. I am a nurse and probably have had CPR about 20 times in my career, so I am a bit of a know-it-all, but I have to admit your instructors taught me a few things today. Well done and a lot of fun! I highly recommend you to everyone.
I generally don't provide testimonials to anyone, however I was compelled to do so this time. From the moment we filled out an online request form to the final invoice, your team was absolutely stellar. We had over 100 staff trained in record time and the cost was simply unbeatable. Looking forward to next year's training!
PS. Sam, Danielle and Victor - you are simply terrific to work with!
It's hard to believe we have been trained in CPR before! The instruction and passion we received from your instructors (Jeff) was simply amazing. We will definitely be referring your service to anyone and everyone we can think of. Great work you guys, it was a real pleasure working with you!

We live in a world where people worship things—what our hearts desire, we must have! People also worship celebrities—ironically, these are normally people who can’t do anything to notably improve our lives.
Christians proclaim that, in this confusion of faith and spirituality, there is one who is worthy of our worship: “Jesus Who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us” (Romans 8:34). Jesus has influence far beyond any celebrity, politician or ruler on this Earth.
We could consider the power that the resurrected Jesus has today; the power shown once to his disciples while praying on a mountain: “as he was praying, the appearance of his face changed and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning” (Luke 9:29). This is the appearance of Jesus today, the Resplendent One (see Revelation 1:12-18). In Matthew 11:27 Jesus says, “All things have been committed to me by my Father.” There is nothing in this world beyond Jesus’ authority and influence.
This power is not something that Jesus keeps to himself. He offers this power to bring change in our lives today: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Real rest. Not just the satisfaction of owning the latest gadget, which is far too quickly superseded. Jesus offers something far deeper, far more meaningful than that. Something more substantial than just following the latest trends set by our favourite celebrities. Our gadgets and our celebrities may have the ‘touch of glamour’, but none have the glory of Jesus.
The Resplendent One desires to shine his glory into our troubled hearts and minds: “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:29-30). Jesus invites us to take him on board, to trust in Him as the true Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).
It is in our lives, in our actions, that we demonstrate what we really worship in our hearts. So in praise, in our reality, let us worship the Resplendent One.
Please Father, help us to worship your Son in Spirit and in truth. We ask this In Jesus’ holy name.

We’ve all seen a small child do it - crying crocodile tears, pouting or sulking when they don’t get exactly what they want, when they want it. Some folks, however, never grow out of using the “poor me” strategy.
Part of the passage to healthy adulthood is learning to take responsibility for our own situations and our own mistakes, and learning not to blame others for things which aren’t their fault. We also learn that most people can see through insincere attempts at manipulating their emotions.
Some people with Personality Disorders, however, do not achieve this level of self-responsibility and continue with exaggerated, even blatantly dishonest campaigns to arouse the sympathies of others, even to the point of appearing ridiculous to observers around them.
Sometimes, these campaigns continue to get them what they want, as exasperated family members with weak boundaries try to appease them in the hope that they will just give it a rest. This is similar to spoiled children, who learn to get what they want from parents with poor boundaries by throwing tantrums, whining, nagging or making ultimatums and threats.
Self-Victimization is also sometimes used quite strategically to elicit sympathy from others and gain their assistance in supporting, enabling or hiding abusive behaviors. This is a common tactic used for proxy recruitment.
Justification to themselves - as a way of dealing with the cognitive dissonance which results from inconsistencies between the way they treat others and what they believe about themselves.
Justification to others - as a way of escaping harsh judgment or condemnation they may fear from people whom they wish to please or impress.
A spouse, challenged over emptying the joint account, complains the other partner is neglecting their needs.
A husband hits his wife and then, when confronted with his actions, complains that he is treated worse in other ways.
A mother beats or neglects her children and diverts challenges about it by only discussing her own medical complaints.
A spouse is having an affair and claims the other partner drove them to it.
A person spreads false accusations about physical or sexual abuse in the home.
A thief caught red-handed tells stories about how they were abused as a child.
A narcissistic boss mistreats a subordinate and then claims the subordinate’s behavior was hurting the company as justification.
A teenager starts a fight with a sibling then complains about the resulting bruises.
A young girl overdoses and then says she did it because nobody listens to her.
If you are in a relationship with someone who plays the victim, it is easy to feel like you are in the classic “damned if you do and damned if you don’t” scenario. No matter how hard you try, how well you behave, or how much you sacrifice, your actions and efforts can never fill the bottomless pit of “need” that is presented to you. . Once you solve problem A, problem B suddenly appears.
This happens because the true “need” is inside the mind of the person who is playing the victim. What they really need is to address their own illness with treatment programs that work, which also requires effort and rigorous work on their own part. It has nothing to do with you. Even if you had the character of Gandhi, Mother Theresa and Saint Francis rolled into one, you could never fill the void - because you cannot change what their mind creates. At some point, you are likely to feel resentment and frustration as you realize your efforts are being consumed and not reciprocated. Worse still, you may find you are the focus of the Personality-Disordered individual’s resentments and complaints.
It is important to understand that getting angry or hitting back is not going to help you - all it will do is feed into the self-victimizer’s scenario that you are unfair or abusive towards them and give them further “justification” to abuse you.
Don’t react to every false accusation you hear from a Personality Disordered individual. It just makes it worse.
Don’t try to justify yourself or your actions to a person who is casting themselves as the victim. It’s their illusion, you do not have to engage with it.
Don’t admit to or apologize for anything that you haven’t done wrong. Stick to the truth, and say it once calmly and clearly.
Don’t try to compensate for a self-victimizer’s complaints by increasing your own effort. Spend your energy on what works.
Don’t give a self-victimizer a “free ride” just because they claim they deserve one. . Everyone, regardless of their personality, gets to deal with their own stuff.
Don’t retaliate or strike back at someone who cast themselves as a victim. You are just pouring fuel on their fire.
Don’t assume that everyone who hears a self-victimizer’s complaints believes them. Most people can smell a rat when a story doesn’t ring true.
Try to be as unemotional as possible. Try to judge based on facts rather than feelings.
Acknowledge that everyone, even a self-victimizer, is entitled to believe what they want without validation or judgment.
Surround yourself with friends who are not self-victimizers and who can help you figure out what is real and what is not.
Keep doing what you know is right - regardless of what a self-victimizer tells you.

Clancy Shields, men's tennis head coach at Arizona Wildcats, announced the new name that will reinforce the squad for the 2017-18 season, that being 19-year-old Swede Filip Malbasic. Stockholm native, Filip was ranked 260th on the ITF junior list, and he tried to leave his mark on the ITF Futures circuit in the past 2 years, without too much success.
Back in 2012, he had some good results at the U14 level, having a chance to play against Casper Ruud a few times, but he couldn't keep that pace in the recent years, and he decided that it is the best to cross the ocean and continue his career in Collegiate tennis.
Malbasic is the 5th newcomer in the Wildcats squad, following Carlos Hassey, Igor Karpovets, Aaro Pollanen, and Jonas Maier.
"We are really excited to have Filip join our program," Shields commented. "Filip and I had a great connection when we met in Sweden.
He is an outstanding kid with great character, a tremendous work ethic, and a good tennis resume to back it up. The more I got to know about Filip and his family, the sacrifices he has made to become an elite player and student, the more convinced I was that he was the right player for our program.
I'm looking forward to working with Filip on his development and making him the best possible player he can be. Filip joins the youth movement that includes four new faces this year, and I believe his contribution to the team on and off the court will be felt in a big way."
"I choose Arizona because of the connection I got while meeting with Clancy in Stockholm," said Malbasic. "I could see his vision with me on the team and his vision about the overall tennis program.
Arizona has two very young coaches and passionate ones who will make me a better tennis player, but the main reason I chose Arizona was because they believe in me. Arizona is also a great academic school in the strong Pac-12 conference, and for me, studying business at one of the best business programs in the country made my choice even easier."

Vietjet purchases 100 Boeing Aircraft to add to their collection of US planes to their Airlines. Behind the billion-dollar deal, the airlines wish to amplify to new frontiers. Expanding the Asian tourism and increasing the traveling market with plenty more passengers. The deal approximately cost 11.3 Billion US dollars being Vietnam's largest purchase of aircraft in Vietnamese history. The purchase of 100 737 MAX 200 jets will add to Vietjets collection making them owners of over 200 Boeing aircraft. The approximate delivery time of the 737 MAX 200 jets to Vietjet would be between the years 2019 – 2023.
Back in Chicago, Boeing turns its focus on building their large order of 737 MAX 200 jets. In result of the focus shifting and Boeing being a bit more financially elevated because of this large order, they had said to cut production of its 747-8 jet due to its weaker demand.
The US and Vietnamese relation was taken to a new level with the closing of this deal. Madam Nguy?n Th? Phuong Th?o, VietJet's CEO goal with this purchase was to speed up the process of Asia’s nations aviation industries development along with relations with the US. Boeing is very content with this deal because they continue to provide a quality service and manufacture to quality customers. Not only does Vietnam see this deal bettering relations but Boeing on the US side as well.
Incorporating the latest design and technology features, the highly efficient 737 MAX 200 will provide VietJet's growing network with market-leading economics, a superior passenger experience and contribute significantly to their future success.
said by Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner.
In recent years, relations between the US and Vietnam have increased and try to promote a well stable relation appose to ones like one they have with China that are cancerous.

Fantasy Grounds Message Boards > General > The Commons > Teleportation Sickness?
View Full Version : Teleportation Sickness?
Is there such a thing as teleportation sickness and does it apply when you cast dimension door as well??
Definitely, whenever I teleport I feel queezy for a good 5 minutes afterwards. I used to teleport everywhere I went, but I've had to cut back since getting older, my stomach just can't take it anymore. I hadn't noticed it as much when I D-door I must admit.
If your asking in game, I would say to each his own. In my campaign, I don't have any such rule. They may arrive disorented but at most that would last a round, most often no more than a few seconds while they get their bearings.
If you are talking D&D by the core rules, after you D-Door you can take no further actions until your next turn. This does not apply to Teleport.
IIRC Rolemaster had orientation rolls. If you need a roll after teleportation, you could use Spot. Teleporting to a location you can see would give +10 to Spot, and somewhere you can't see and haven't visited before could give -10. Failure would make you lose a round or a few, and failure by more than 10 would result in teleportation sickness. Same rules with D-Door.
I just made that up, but that could be useful sometimes. Maybe just when teleporting to a very different environment.

When listening to the recent airing of Hearing Voices on April 23, I was disillusioned in hearing no reference to Bellona from David Byrne when discussing the development of “Burning Down The House”.
I had such a strong misconception that this song was based on Samuel Delany’s “Dhalgren”, and had a strong feeling of enlightenment for having recognized this; that I felt crestfallen when he made no reference to this and knew that I had come to the wrong conclusion.
smiling, laughing, and even weeping at the beauty of the singer who goes to the natural history museum to sing with the birds,Mickey Harts musings of the rhythm of the body, and David Byrnes random phrases to produce songs.
I want my son, a high school drummer, to hear it all. Negativeland…makes me want to reexamine the 80’s. What else di I miss?
What a wonder this world is that we’ve only to flip a switch to hear Mickey Hart, Negitiveland, and a beautiful singer who warms with the birds. Thank you so much for opening up my little corner of the garden! Hearing Voices will be at the top of my weekend listening from now on.

After months of marketing, well over 40 showings with no results, we have finally sold our home! And we’re moving across town (technically from “Chesterfield” to “Midlothian”) into a house with a little more elbow room for our ever-growing kids. We’re more than excited and are feverishly packing and cleaning, getting ready to go! Feel free to post a reply if you can help out on August 28th, 2008.
So, up the stairs I feverishly ran with my 11 year old in hot pursuit. Let me tell you something else to explain what happened next.
I have exceptionally long toes. And when I was a boy, and if you came to my house for dinner, no matter how old you were or how inappropriate it might have seemed, my parents insisted on showing everyone how long my toes are. It was standard after-dinner entertainment in the Varner home. You put that together with closing act called, “Jerry, blow your cheeks up”, and you’ve got an evening full of wholesome, personally humiliating entertainment.
So, I’ve got long toes.
So when I reached the top of the stairs while running away from my crazed middle school daughter, the toe next to my big toe (Toe #2) on my right foot folded under and I stepped on it. Ouch. Actually, I think what I said was, “I think I broke my toe. I think I broke my toe.” All while laughing/whimpering.
And over the next 24 hours the color of my toe confirmed that indeed, something was awry.
You know what you do for a broken toe? Me neither. But I hear its pretty much nothing. So, I taped the purple one to a normal colored one and hoped for the best.
Call me crazy, but that to me is a picture of Christian community. We all get bumped, bruised, and even broken through the trials of life. But as long as we’ve got someone nearby who’s able to stand there with us, well…just tape yourself to them (in a manner of speaking, of course), and you’ll be okay.
As for my toe…its barely purple anymore and the pain is nearly completely gone. Thanks, Toe #3.

Couples who hit a ‘rocky patch’ in their marriage will be able to receive counselling on the NHS if the problems cause depression.
But critics are furious that the ‘free advice’ – paid for by the taxpayer – is taking priority over other health services, such as vital drugs.
The scheme is part of the Government’s talking therapies programme, Improving Access To Psychological Therapies, aimed at getting those suffering from anxiety off sick pay and benefits and back to work.
Health Secretary Andy Burnham is expected to implement the National Institute For Health And Clinical Excellence’s guidance on Thursday.
In a speech to the New Savoy Partnership – a group of organisations aiming to improve access to psychological therapies, Mr Burnham will say: ‘Trouble at home can lead to depression and anxiety - sometimes even children can be caught up in the fallout.
‘When couples hit a rocky patch a bit of help and support can stop it spiralling out of control.
But the plan has drawn criticism from patients and doctors' groups in the wake of recent decisions by Nice to reject life-extending drugs for cancer and treatment to reduce symptoms of dementia.
Nick James, professor of clinical oncology at the Cancer Research UK Institute for Cancer Studies, told The Sunday Telegraph: ‘I am horrified, in particular because of the way these decisions are taken without public debate.
Michael Summers, vice-president of the Patients Association, urged Nice and the Government to ‘get their priorities right’.
A Department of Health spokesman said: ‘It's simplistic and misleading to compare highly expensive treatment for cancer to mental health services.
‘Nice themselves endorse therapy like this to secure good mental health. A relatively small step can prevent more tragic consequences - like severe mental illness, depression, or long-term unemployment.

Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture at Kamphaeng Saen, Kasetsart University, Kamphaeng Saen, Nakhon Pathom-73140, Thailand.
Journal of Applied Horticulture, 2015, volume 17, issue 2, pages 140-144.
Abstract: Improvement of flower quality is a major concern which plays a part in the enhancement of the marketability of the Dendrobium cut flower. In this study, both synthetic cytokinins: N-(2-chloropyridin-4-yl)-N-phenylurea (CPPU) and N-6-benzyladenine (BA), were foliar sprayed at rates of: 1, 5 or 10 mg L-1 and 100, 200 or 400 mg L-1, respectively, on current pseudobulbs of the Dendrobium Sonia Earsakul with 45-50 cm in length. The treatments were applied thrice at fortnight intervals, prior to terminal bud initiation. The results revealed that an application of 10 mg L-1 CPPU significantly increased the numbers of inflorescence per pseudobulb (from 1.1 to 1.7 flowers), and the number of flower on an inflorescence was increased from 12.2 to 13.8 flowers. The length and the diameter of flower inflorescence, having 10 mg L-1 CPPU application, also increased from 49.4 cm to 55.1 cm, and 0.57 cm to 0.66 cm, respectively. In addition, the largest flower width and the highest fresh inflorescence weight were also obtained with application of 10 mg L-1 CPPU treatment. Despite the application of BA, at 400 mg L-1, enhancing the highest amount of flower counts of inflorescence (at 14.8 flowers), 33.3% of those inflorescence obtained at least one deformed flower. Overall, the results suggest that CPPU spray has a higher potential to elevate flowers, along with the inflorescence qualities of Dendrobium Sonia Earsakul. Furthermore, according to this study, CPPU has lower effects upon abnormal flower shapes, and their times of harvest.

On its last leg: our sweet little car.
This same time, years previous: listening, watching, reading, apple farro salad, stuffed peppers, quiche soup, apples schmapples, dusting the dough, and hamburger buns and sloppy joes.
The car on the porch is on it's last legs? If so, it had it's moment of fame and I wish I had a video of my husband reading that post! But, we feel your pain with a van at 12 years and a car at 16 years. It is man against machine now and we are determined to keep them going as long as it does not cost any real money.
I ponder, as well as admire, how you and your husband manage to raise your family with such patience and grace. Your children's declarations of independence seem to be on the increase.. ear piercings, porch parking, pink hair (didn't know it was watercolor).. Happy seventeenth, to you and your son. And many more..

It is the Pan Africanist Movement of Azania . A revolutionary student movement born on the 19th of June 1997 at the university of Western Cape, Bellville in Cape Town. This followed the demarcation of PASO as the name to be used by the comrades at the secondary level, while the new name PASMA meant and to be used by the comrades at tertiary level. PASO, that PASMA history, pride and its consistent come from what was the product of long and hard organisation and mobilisation under banishment of the early eighties. It was born on the 15 October 1989 in Welgespruit at Roodeport in Gauteng province. Among its founders were Cde Lungelo Mbandazayo (Founding President), Cde Lawrence "General Nqandela (Secretary General), Charge –in Mabaso (National Organiser) and other codies who led the PAC Youth Wing-PAYCO.
Knowing one anotherBuilding the organisation is a process that demands patience, persistence, and especially student organisation because students come and go, and time changes. The starting point of this exercise or process knows our members. This means we need to know who we are, dealing with and this involves all levels of the organisation –from branches to provinces to national.
Knowing who we are dealing with, will ensure that we chose the right comrades or people at a right time in a right positions or places.
Knowing who each of us is, means knowing where each of us come from and how we come to be where we are. This also includes what we are capable of doing in other words our abilities or skills as well as the type of persons each one of us is. This briefly means knowing the history one of each of us, and old members alike. This will afford or enable the party members or leadership to know or establish if the members or new members is reliable or can be trusted and entrusted.
Noble sons and daughters of the soil, this will help the party to identify and isolate opportunist elements who join the party to pursue their personal agendas and endings and the short term goals at the expense of party building and development.
A member of PASMASimply being a card-carrying member of PASMA is not sufficient to qualify one as genuine and not committed codre. Card-carrying members must first undergo training so that they can qualify as genuine and committed members of the party or organisation. A genuine and committed member of PASMA attends organisation meetings, events and any call for duty to pursue it, without failure unless enforced by circumstances beyond his/her control. The organisation comes first. The training should ensure that this becomes the culture of the organisation, members should know PASMA that is, its ideology, goals, policies, principles and programmes and be able to articulate them with confidence and clarity.
the country and in Africa.
Ability to work with othersThis is the principle of collective leadership one of the pillars on which the PASMA is founded. It is expected and required that a PASMA member should be able to work within the official structures of the organisation. All genuine members of PASMA is selfless and consult his comrades at all times. Individualism, unilateralism and self-advertisement at the same expense of the organisation should be discouraged. The principle of collective leadership should not only be emphasized in the training of comrades but it must be adhered to and practised in all PASMA meetings.

The SourceMod 1.8 branch has now been declared the new stable branch. We will however still provide gamedata updates to the 1.7 branch for at least the near future.
Below is a list of what's new in the 1.8 branch since the last Development Roundup post. Check that out if you haven't yet as the below list is just an addendum.
Fixed some crashes in the new File Transfer hooks.
Fixed funcommands attempting to use some non-existant sounds on CS:GO.
Fixed crash on failing to load dependent extensions.
Fixed long-standing crash with late or incorrect calls to TR_GetEntityIndex.
Fixed incorrect extension name being printed when dependent extension is unloaded.
Fixed potential crash on plugin load when a required library is not found.
Fixed potential crash or other side effects with GameRules_Set* natives.
Fixed compile errors with plugins that used old NormalS[ound]Hook prototype.
Fixed all varint sendprops being treated improperly in CS:GO and gamerules sendprops in Black Mesa.
Fixed SourceTV bot detection on Source SDK 2013 mods and Black Mesa.
Fixed function symbols for static libraries being exported. (On Linux, this caused conflicts with other modules that use libprotobuf).
Fixed potential issues on Linux when running on a filesystem that uses 64-bit inodes (such as XFS).
Added FireToClient to Event methodmap, for sending events just to a specific client.
Added ability for plugins to block entity outputs from firing.
Added GetServerAuthId and GetServerSteamAccountId natives.
Added CanBeAutobalanced hook type in SDKHooks for games that use the SDK implementation (TF2, FoF).
Added new HasEntProp function to easily check an entity for the existence of a property.
Clarifed documentation for GetMaxEntities, GetEntityCount, IsValidEntity, and IsEntNetworkable.
GameRules_Set* natives now network changes by default, similar to SetEntProp* natives.
Returning Plugin_Changed in event hooks now behaves like Plugin_Continue rather than Plugin_Handled.
Added warning print when gamedata is loaded from the "custom" folder to make issues easier to diagnose.
Converted all SourceMod includes and more base plugins to use the Sourcepawn Transitional Syntax.
FindSendPropOffs and FindDataMapOffs have now been deprecated in favor of FindSendPropInfo and FindDataMapInfo.
Removed support for compiling SourceMod against old Source 1 Dota 2 SDK.
The Stable Builds download page now points to 1.8 builds, although 1.7 ones are still available and linked there. The Dev Builds page now points to the brand new 1.9 branch.

The missing comma has now been found. Rejoice.
How do you update sourcemod?
Last edited by tuan206; 06-05-2016 at 18:15.
GetMapDisplayName is actually new in 1.8 as it never got ported to 1.7.
For people who don't know what it is, it's a function to get a "nice" name for Workshop maps.
It will only return false if the map isn't found.
Last edited by Powerlord; 06-05-2016 at 21:07.
Indeed. As mentioned (twice), this is a changelog of what's new in 1.8 since the last development roundup, not what's new in 1.8 vs 1.7.
at the top, hence why I mentioned this is new in 1.8.
Last edited by Powerlord; 06-05-2016 at 21:13.
Linked roundup also contains dev roundup for 1.8 in the 2nd half of the main post.
Will https://sm.alliedmods.net/new-api/ be updated? Would be nice to have the AdminId and GroupId methodmaps there.

I've been taking a good hard look at the SOP_NodeVerb API, and was wondering whether anyone had any pointers on best practices for calling certain functions only when the input geometry has changed. In my case this building a GEO_PointTree and a GEO_DetachedHedgeInterface, the result of which I've been storing in the subclassed SOP_NodeCache.
Does the SOP_WindingNumber sample not show what your looking for?
A GU_Detail is a collection of attributes(like a position attribute but also for topology) so when your asking if a geometry has changed, your really asking what attributes in the GU_Detail have changed. All attributes are tracked with GA_DataId, so caching the data id of the attribute you're interested in and checking that against the incoming geometry will allow you to check for any relevant changes. The SOP_WindingNumberCache::update3D function in particular seems to show a way to do what your describing.
Ah, thanks MrScienceOfficer! I think I've looked at the same thing for too long and stopped actually seeing... That does indeed look like what I was looking for.

It was time for the children of OAPPA Summer Camp in Vouliagmeni to find out how chess is played, what are the moves of each piece, and play their first chess game. The high interest of the kids resulted in dedicating their whole afternoon schedule in chess training!
Ex-world chess champion Gary Kasparov was invited by Stavros Niarxos foundation and gave a simultane match against many children. The little chess player from Glyfada Kostas Basinas was among the children who played against Kasparov.

For the past 33 years the Caro-Vettes Corvette Club of Jacksonville has hosted a series of car shows and speed events to raise funds for local charities.
In each of those years, our car and Corvette shows have been held at Marine Chevrolet, which graciously opened its doors and turned the dealership over to us.
Our car and Corvette shows this year were on May 18 and 19.
Our Quest for the Best car show was held on May 18 with participants and car clubs from Jacksonville area and surrounding counties. Many personal awards were presented to competitors; however, the 3MC Club won the award for the most entrees in the event.
The highlight event of the day was awarding a check for $500 to the Jacksonville Soup Kitchen. Accepting for the Soup Kitchen was Remy Stitt. We greatly appreciate the fine job the Soup Kitchen, its volunteers and staff is doing for those in need in Jacksonville and Onslow County. Caro-Vettes, Inc. will make the next donation to a local charity at our October 2013 event.
As event coordinator for each of those years, on behalf of Caro-Vettes, I offer my sincere thanks to Marine Chevrolet�s service manager, Chris Fountain, who has been my point of contact at the dealership each year.
I also want to thank Mike Alford, owner of Marine Chevrolet, as well as the mechanics who super clean their work spaces so we can show our Corvettes indoors and the sales staff who relocate automobile inventory to clear spaces so we can show all of our vehicles in a prominent location on their lot.
A sincere thank-you also goes out to our food sponsors: Chick-fil-A; American Dream Cakes; Smithfield�s Chicken �n� Barbecue (both locations); Food Lion (Southwest Area); and Papa John�s Pizza.
Many other Jacksonville businesses donated items for raffles and door prizes including: Advance Auto; Auto Zone; Ruby Tuesday�s: Applebee�s; Modern Tire; McDonald�s; Jeff�s Automotive; Red Lobster; Golden Corral; and many large corporate national chain businesses as well.
I humbly apologize if I omitted anyone who made donations to our fundraising efforts.
Thanks, too, to Steve Epley, a local racer who shared his automotive expertise in judging our engine exhaust competition; and Amy Rivera, manager of Fairfield Inn Hotel, who has become one of our primary judges.
Of course, none of this would have mattered if we didn�t have the participants come out with their super-fine automobiles to be displayed and compete for prizes. Their fees make it possible for Caro-Vettes to make donations to local charities as we have for the past 33 years.
Thank you as well to the Single Marine Program at Camp Lejeune and New River Air Station for passing our information to the service members who volunteer their time and talents to help with events for those in need.
Before closing, I must thank those members of Caro-Vettes, Inc., who came out and worked hard to make our events possible and as successful as they have been.
I include those members who stepped out of their comfort zone and solicited businesses for door-prize items. I thank you all for recognizing and carrying our civic responsibilities in our attempts to be a credit to the community of which we are a part. We�ll see you in October.
Editor�s note: Jim Roddy is co-founder of Caro-Vettes Inc.

QMUL Geography graduate Zainab Ravat has won first place in this year's Royal Geographical Society with the Institute of British Geographers (RGS-IBG) Social and Cultural Geography Research Group Dissertation Prize for her dissertation entitled 'Photojournalism: Explorations into the Geographical Witness, Activist and Traveller'.
With entries from universities across the UK, this is a stellar achievement! Panellists commented that the dissertation was a fascinating and enjoyable read. Engaging and written with journalistic flair, they thought that its focus on photographers' personal experiences, motivations, and senses of self, gave a sophisticated and nuanced approach to the geographies of photojournalism as a practice. They also praised the very rich empirical material produced in the research, and the sensitivity with which material was dealt with.
Zainab graduated with a first class degree earlier in the summer, and was also recipient of the Drapers’ Company Prize for academic excellence, as well as the Michael Alexander Jones Memorial Award for the best overall performance in the third year. She is currently getting ready to start her MPhil in Development Studies at the University of Cambridge.
Many congratulations to Zainab and to her supervisor Professor Catherine Nash!

Based on the best selling 10” Table Saw, Charnwood have increased the specification by adding a more powerful motor and a sliding beam with a 1220mm length of cut. This makes the saw ideal for handling large panels, anything up to an 8’ x 4’ sheet. The sliding beam of this table saw, runs on a set of bearings along a sturdy support bed with additional support legs at each end. This gives a very smooth action with a high degree of accuracy. The beam can be locked in position when using the rip fence.
The extension table is also supported by a telescopic arm to take the weight of larger panels. The squaring arm at the rear of the table can be adjusted at any angle up to 45 degrees and is fitted with a flip over stop for repeat measurements.
For crosscutting smaller pieces a mitre fence is also provided which locks onto the sliding beam and can be adjusted to any angle from 90 to 45 degrees.

A fiesta-like atmosphere engulfed the Multi-Purpose Court (MPCC) last August 25, 2012. It was a Friday night and the student body was ready to kick the weekend off to a great start with Cultura Pilipino. Conceptualized by Cultura, this event is regarded as an annual tradition that students look forward to during the month of August.
Upon entering the event area, the first thing that got everyone’s attention was the band; they were jamming to Filipino songs – the type that makes you want to sit back and reminisce the good old times with your “barkada.” The rest of the night offered an interesting mix of well-loved favorites such as the much awaited boodle feast, traditional Filipino games like pabitin, and a variety of performances. A group performed the Tinikling dance and asked some people from the audience to join them. Another performance was made by Anyo, as well as a student from Mr. Jun Talegon’s Filipino class. Her monologue received a lot of praise from the crowd since it was a modern and creative way of portraying nationalism for our motherland.
The MPCC turned into a runway towards the end of the event. The fashion show showcased Enderun students wearing traditional Philippine garments. Among the models were Michael McDermott, Mara Yee, and Maria Angela Go.
The host of the event, Sheila Garces, concluded yet another successful and signature Cultura event.

Now before you get all grossed out and think I have some parasite living in the depths of my inner ears, allow me to reassure you that an ear worm is actually not a living creature at all. In fact, it isn’t even a thing you can see or touch.
And actually chances are pretty good that you have had an ear worm or two yourself.
An ear worm is simply the term used for when you get a song stuck in your head. Most people have this problem from time to time. It can be extremely aggravating to live with while it is happening, but the good news is that typically the ear worm will go away within a few hours (perhaps a day at most) and life returns to normal.
At least, that is most people’s experience.
Unfortunately, it’s not been mine.
As luck would have it, I am one of those rare people who is especially sensitive to getting ear worms. Not only that, my ear worms like to stick around for long periods of time, sometimes for several days or a week. At night, the ear worms keep me awake because I can’t turn off the radio that’s constantly playing inside my head long enough to fall asleep. And when I do drift off, the ear worm will often wake me up in the wee hours of the morning, as if what I wanted most in the world was to attend a personal and private concert at 3 am.
“Why don’t you just change the station in your head,” some clever friends have commented.
“You could mentally turn down the volume,” others have said.
Try singing the song out loud.
Listen to the song all the way through.
Trick your brain by doing something else like counting backwards from 100.
Just stop listening to music.
I’ll admit that I’ve tried most of these. Some of them multiple times. Although I have to admit that I didn’t stop listening to music altogether. Not only do I enjoy listening to music, but the are far more songs that haven’t given me an ear worm when compared to those that have. It seems silly to ban all songs when such a small percentage are causing the problem. Besides, even if I wanted to stop listening to music, I’m not sure how one could possibly go about such a thing in today’s society. Music is everywhere!
Regardless, none of these tricks and tips managed to kick the ear worm out of my brain. In fact, the harder I try to make it go away, , the worse my ear worm actually becomes.
Expressing how I feel about ear worms.
And about being up all night listening to songs I don’t enjoy.
One of the most frustrating ones was the song Fix My Eyes by For King and Country. A couple of years ago, it received a lot of playtime on our favorite car radio station, KLOVE. That particular ear worm was so incredibly bad (keeping me awake for nights on end) that for about 2 months, I wouldn’t turn on KLOVE at all simply for fear of hearing it and risking the ear worm starting back up. To this day, I still refuse to listen to this song.
Not long ago, I got just two lines from the Bryan Adams’ song Everything I Do stuck in my brain. Jon laughed when I told him that the worst part was I couldn’t even get my brain to play the rest of the song for me! This happened to be one of those songs that I don’t mind hearing. However, I prefer to listen to the entire song, and not just two lines repetitively.
It’s not just the radio music either. The theme songs from TV shows or even advertisement jingles can get stuck in my head too. Jon and I love to watch Father Brown on Netflix, but Jon has to mute the intro or I find myself unable to get the theme music out of my head.
And then there is this little gem … The Alef Bet Song by Debbie Freedman. Now you might be wondering how this song even got into my head in the first place. The answer is that I am currently taking Hebrew lessons, and the teacher insists upon playing this song during every single class. The class meets one evening a week. I leave each class with my personal radio brain playing The Alef Bet Song on repeat. By the time I finally get that annoying song out of my head, it’s time to go back to class … where the song will once again be played, and my ear worm will be reactivated. At this rate, I may not sleep again until after Hebrew class ends sometime around the last week of April.
The truth is, I don’t even have to hear music for my ear worm to activate. Sometimes all it takes is for someone to simply mention the song, Within second, my ear worm starts up, and right then I know for the next few days I’ll be sleepless in Louisiana. A prime example is the theme music to The Andy Griffith Show. I swear all it takes is for someone to mention Barney Fife, and the whistling begins in my head.
Once it wasn’t even a song that got my ear worm to going. It was a silly board game we played as a family. Afterwards, I was awake all night long mentally playing Ticket To Ride, mapping train routes all over Europe and trying to draw the right cards to complete the routes in my imagination. Thankfully, this ear worm only lasted for one night.
Obviously, I have a serious ear worm problem. While it might be a relatively common source of frustration, it seems as though I struggle with this to an extreme level. I wondered if this might be indicative something … like, say, a sign of superior intelligence. Wouldn’t that be nice?
After doing a bit of research, I am sad to say that the answer to this questions is no. Ear worms are not a sign that I am smarter than you, or possess any special brain powers.
But, according to several internet sites, it can actually be a sign of an anxious brain.
Lovely. Yet another thing for me to worry about.
Yes, I agree with you. There are probably many far more interesting and worthwhile topics to write about, especially after one takes a year long break from blogging. In fact, I’d say this probably is a really poor choice of topics for a come-back post.
But the truth is that I haven’t felt like writing much over the last year or so. Often times, I feel guilty about that. Lately, I’ve been praying for the desire to write again. Today the urge hit, so I decided to go with it.
The strange thing is that not only did I have the urge to sit down and write, but I knew exactly what I wanted to write about … Ear worms.
You see, writing has always been a catharsis for me. Whenever I write, I am generally working my way through an issue in my life, although usually it is something far more significant than ear worms. Perhaps this will sound strange, but quite often God speaks to me through the words that He gives me to write. It’s as if I look back and wonder where the words came from because I know I wouldn’t have thought those things on my own.
So ear worms are a HUGE issue in my life right now. I would love a solution. I suppose that part of me is hoping that God will provide insight into my problem as I write. But that’s not the only reason I chose to write about ear worms.
Humor just so happens to be a great way to battle against frustration. Last night I was a captive audience while my brain played The Alef Bet Song on repeat for more than 4 hours straight. As you might imagine, today I am feeling deeply frustrated with my ear worm problem. So this afternoon, when I suddenly found myself wanting to write about ear worms, I realized I could probably do it with a bit of humor. In the end, my sleep-deprived brain got several chuckles from the words that flowed out of my fingertips and onto the computer screen. Hopefully , it wasn’t just funny to me and you have found this post somewhat humorous too.
But there is one more reason I wrote this blog post.
It’s deeply personal and quite selfish in nature. I am almost afraid to write it, but as I have already bared my soul this much, I’ll take a deep breath and type the words with all the brave hope I can muster.
I wrote this post hoping that if you are ever with me, and I happen to politely ask if we can please turn off the radio or mute the TV, you will understand I am not trying to be rude or controlling. I’m only asking because an ear worm lives inside my brain.
If that nasty feller gets fed, I don’t sleep.
Maybe not for nights upon nights.
And sleep, my friends, is never over-rated.

Instagram updates with improved camera, new filter, and more - iPhone.MY - Daily News On Mac, iPhone, iPads, iPods and more!
Instagram for iPhone has updated with an improved camera, a new filter called Willow, improved tilt-shift, a new Foursquare button, and more. The interfaces for the camera and and filter screens have been completely redone for the better.
Today we’re excited to announce the release of the largest upgrade to our Instagram iOS camera since it was revamped just over one year ago. The camera has been the core part of the Instagram experience since the day we launched and as a result, we’ve made significant improvements to its look and speed.
The new camera in Instagram now lets you overlay a grid for using the rule-of-thirds and keeping the horizon level. You can also turn the external flash to on, off, or auto, and switch between the rear and front-facing cameras. There is also a little thumbnail that previews the last photo taken that gives access to your Camera Roll when tapped. Instead of just showing a grid of your Camera Roll photos, however, Instagram now shows the currently selected photo in the Scale & Crop preview with the thumbnails of your Camera Roll photos below it. I’m a huge fan of this new interface because it makes it much easier to quickly compare photos. This new Camera Roll image selector is only enabled for the iPhone 5, though.
The new interface for adding filters is similar to the old one with a horizontally scrolling bar of the photos at the bottom, it just has a new look. The buttons for frames, tilt-shift, and Lux now appear directly above the filters. There is also a new button for rotation added to the mix.
Speaking of tilt-shift, this feature has also been greatly improved. In the past, there was a huge difference between the preview shown for tilt-shift and the actual results. This has been fixed so that the blur you see is the blur you’ll get. Additionally, the blur algorithm has been greatly improved to increase quality and accuracy and now gives a more realistic rendering of depth of field.
In just the few minutes I spent playing with the new tilt-shift, I am impressed. I neveruse tilt shift with instagram because of how fake it has always looked, but the new blur algorithm is actually quite good and I look forward to using it on my photos.
Additionally, Instagram has also added a new monochromatic filter called Willow. It’s a black and white filter with subtle purple tones and a translucent glowing white border that will work well on portraits, still life, and architecture photographs with contrast.
Another feature that Instagram snuck into this update is that your Instagrammed photos will now be saved in a separate album on your iPhone called “Instagram”. This will make it much either to find your Instagram photos in your Camera Roll and something I, personally, am very excited about.
Lastly, Instagram has also redesigned the news feed to better match the new look, added infinite scrolling on user profiles and other grid views, and a Foursquare button has been added to the location pages that opens the Foursquare app or mobile website with details about the venue.
Have you had a chance to play with the new and improved Instagram, yet? What do you think? I’m a huge fan of the new Camera Roll selection screen on the iPhone 5, the improved tilt-shift, and the Instagram album added to the Photos app.
Blackberry Messenger coming to iPhone?
