Missouri dropped one spot to ninth in the latest BCS rankings despite beating Kentucky by 31 points.
Auburn vaulted from ninth to seventh ahead of the Tigers, 9-1 and 5-1 in the Southeastern Conference, after its win against Tennessee.
Missouri's drop coincided with a slip in the computer rankings, which rely heavily on strength of schedule.
Last week, the Tigers were fifth or sixth in four of the six computer polls that make up one-third of the BCS formula, but none of the computers rated Missouri higher than seventh after the win against the Wildcats.
The net result was that the Tigers' composite computer ranking dipped from fifth to eighth.
Missouri moved up one spot to eighth in the USA Today Coaches Poll, which make up one-third of the BCS formula.
The Tigers had been ranked behind Oklahoma, but the Sooners plummeted nine spots to 17th with a lopsided loss against Baylor.
Missouri picked up 16 points in The Associated Press Top 25 poll, but remained locked in at No. 9 for the second straight week.
The Tigers already were ranked ahead of Oklahoma in the AP poll, which isn't part of the BCS formula.
Five of the top 11 teams in the AP poll — including Alabama (1), Auburn (7), Texas A&M (10) and South Carolina (11) — are from the SEC. LSU checks in 18th after its loss to the Crimson Tide, while Georgia moved back into the ranking at No. 25.
Missouri also remained eighth in the Harris Poll, which also makes up one-third of the BCS rankings. The composite of six computer rankings makes up the final third.
Alabama remained first in the BCS rankings followed by Florida State, while Oregon dropped from third to sixth after its loss to Stanford.
The Cardinal rose to fourth just behind undefeated Ohio State and one spot ahead of undefeated Baylor.
Clemson also dropped one spot to eighth behind Auburn, while South Carolina rounds out the BCS top 10.

I suppose it depends on what kind of noise it is. Some noises aren't that loud and are pretty much harmless to a writer's frame of mind. Others demand your attention and seem like auditory bullets fired at the poor writer clacking away on her laptop keyboard. Some noises are so loud or so low they can kill, I've heard.
I'm a tad skeptical of the quiet business, and the idea that a writer needs it and should seek it out. I wrote earlier that most people live in big cities, and therefore so do most writers, and modern cities are noisy, and if you want to be a writer you need to adjust to the noise and write your best while enduring it. I think my pronouncement stands.
The need for quiet must have arisen from the great early American writers who emerged from New England and lived "north of Boston" and similar hushed locales up there. They were surrounded by quiet (excepting the occasional chirping bird I'm sure), they succeeded, and therefore that's what writers really need.
Running Away From Noise To A Writers Colony
I'm guessing the vast majority of writers are like myself and have never attended a writers colony.
You pay--how much a night? Something like $50--for how long? Something like 3 weeks. Grand Total: 21x50=$1,050). Wait a minute. I just read the fine print. Add on the cleaning fee (daily or one-time?), the wifi fee (hey, wait a minute, you're not supposed to spend your time on the internet), and an application fee.
And the magic just flies off your fingertips and solidifies into words on those formerly blank pages, and you end up with a bestselling Nobel-worthy novel? Is that how it works? It must, I'm seeing colonies described as "magical" by someone who was there.
The whole point of a writers colony seems to be to find "a quiet place to write." The implication being that you can't write anything worth reading, or at least something worthy of a prize, unless you find that peace and quiet advertised at the colony.
Don't colonies imply a certain type of noise along with them? Birds, tree branches and leaves fluttering in the wind, a bit of rain, maybe even thunder. And what of the creaking house, the other writers trudging up and down the creaking staircase, walking back and forth to their rooms on the creaking wooden hallway floors, the sound of their typing, their coughing, maybe even their breathing? Doesn't that add up to a lot of noise? And you're there for, what was it again, peace and quiet? And you start wondering where is that list of "house rules" so you can complain to management about all that racket? But I'm sure if you took a noise meter with you the decimal count would be much lower at a colony house than in an apartment in Manhattan.
Is the search for silence what draws these writers to the colony? Surely, but it seems preposterous. What's cheaper: a couple weeks at the colony or a pair of earplugs?
And you're paying for what, 3 weeks? You have to get back to your job, don't you? I imagine if you don't have a job, you're in a quiet place already. For many workers, 2 weeks of vacation time is all you have. Seriously? You're writing a novel in 2 weeks. Yeah, some people do, but wouldn't it be more realistic to go away for at least a month? I can see a month, bare minimum. Imagine the cost. Bestselling writers only.
But 2 or 3 weeks suggests it's not about writing a book under what are advertised as "quiet" surroundings. "Quiet," I might add, is a relative term. My definition of the term is likely at odds with many other writers. Some people would say, if a few birds are chirping in the tree outside, that's not quiet.
It would be nice to see some statistics from writers who worked on books at colonies. Were most of them bestsellers or award winners? Did they set the book world on fire with those silence-inspired manuscripts? The quieter the environment, the better the prose, isn't that the way it works?
How many writers who attended colonies wrote books, how many were published, what did they sell, and what was the critical appraisal, and how does that compare with books not written at least partially at these quiet colonies? What, no one has those metrics? I'm shocked.
The colony experience seems but a brief respite from whatever environment the writer typically finds herself. What happens when she leaves the colony and once again she is surrounded by noise? Her writing goes all to pieces again?
Searching for silence seems to me something like a quest to find the Fountain of Youth, or El Dorado.
Should Writers Fear Silence? Suppose you were subjected to a total lack of noise--I mean nothing. You're in an isolation chamber. No sound can penetrate. You can't hear anything. How long before you went crazy?
Outer Space As A Writers Colony
I've heard it's extremely quiet in outer space. It would make more sense to blast off in a rocketship and travel beyond the earth's atmosphere and spend some time writing your book way out there. I'm sure it would be more quiet than some creaky old house in New England. Assuming again the idea is to find that elusive quiet that writers so desperately need.
Imagine the quality of your precious prose written in outer space that would undoubtedly be far greater than anything written here on noisy earth! Hello Nobel Prize!

|I have morning glories planted on my patio in a big planter but all I see are big green leaves! Why won't they flower?
|Morning glories flower best in full sun, in poor, dry soils. Too much of a good thing (fertilizer or water) will result in green foliage at the expense of flowers. Make sure your plant is getting sunshine all day long and refrain from feeding it. Water only when the top inch of soil has dried out and you should see an improvement soon.

Recent comments by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia gave even Donald Trump pause.
Trump Sunday said he "didn't like" statements Scalia made last week during oral arguments on an affirmative action case.
In remarks defenders say were intended to summarize an argument the court was considering, Scalia raised the issue of whether it might be better for some African-American students to go to "a less-advanced school ... a slower-track school where they do well."
Asked about the remarks, Trump, who has supported affirmative action, reluctantly took issue.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com

Geneva, August 16 (QNA) – The Ebola epidemic is moving faster than the authorities can handle and could take six months to bring under control, medical charity Medicins Sans Frontieres (MSF) has said.
The warning came a day after the World Health Organization (WHO) said the scale of the epidemic had been vastly underestimated and that "extraordinary measures" were needed to contain the killer disease.
New figures released by the UN health agency showed the death toll from the worst outbreak of Ebola in four decades had climbed to 1,145 in the four afflicted West African countries Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
"It is deteriorating faster, and moving faster, than we can respond to," Joanne Liu, the chief of MSF, said in Geneva on Friday. She added that it could take six months to get the upper hand.
Liu said that although Guinea was the initial epicenter, the pace there had slowed, and other countries particularly Liberia were now the focus.
Liu also called for more action from the international community and stronger leadership from WHO – the UN's health agency.
WHO declared a global health emergency last week – recently said the risk of transmission of Ebola during air travel remained low, as the disease is not airborne.

Over the next week or so, I'll be posting some basic tips for getting your new school year off to a great start. We'll get this party started with talking about procedures.
A colleague of mine once told me the first two weeks of school in my classroom was like attending bootcamp. I drilled my class on the proper procedures on everything from entering the classroom to throwing away garbage. There was a procedure for clean-up and a very specific procedure for morning meeting. However, after these first few intense weeks of learning routine, my classroom was a well-oiled machine. My substitute teacher plans did not have to be so detailed because even my 4 year old students could run the day on their own. It was only content and thematic elements that the sub needed to plug in. The First Days of School by Harry Wong, a text revered by many teachers, extols the glories of well-thought out procedures as does many other great texts on classroom management.
For those of you who aren't a drill sergeant or a severe type-A control freak naturally graced by the ability to carefully plan every anticipated outcome and construct a seamless flow of behaviors, here's a quick series of questions you can ask yourself to establish effective procedures in your classroom.
- What day-to-do routine behaviors are carried out in my classroom?
- What is the ideal outcome of each behavior?
- What are the particular steps to achieve this outcome?
- What do I need to do to prepare or have available?
- What are the specific expectations of the students?
Once you have determined what procedures you want to put in place, take the time to thoroughly explain the expectations to your students. Model the proper procedure, and don't forget to give the students a practice run! Repeat the expectations aloud as they are practicing. The more they hear, see, and do, the sooner it will become second nature. In time, your classroom will be more efficient and your students will be more responsible as they master procedures and meet expectations.

Before we get to a list of practical steps you can take to improve and evaluate your own work, I want you to promise that you will never, under any circumstances, rewrite your completed novel on the computer screen. I want you to promise that you will print out the manuscript, or print out what you have so far, and sit down with it and a pen or pencil to edit it. The computer is a wonderful thing for word processing. Although most writers I represent don't compose their work on computers, many people do, and they're grateful for the ease with which they can type, correct, and save their work.
But like the practitioners of any craft, most writers savor the tools of writing and have a deep interest in paper, notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, typestyles or fonts, and ink. There is a famous photograph of John O'Hara at his writing desk, which prominently displays not only a manual typewriter but an enormous pot of rubber cement. In those typewriter days, writers had to physically wrestle with each page―feeding it into the typewriter, pounding on the keys, pulling the typed page out of the typewriter, adding a fresh sheet, and so on until they were ready to take the pages in hand and rework them. They attacked the raw material with pen or pencil, crossing out sentences and writing new ones, even cutting sentences or entire passages from one part and pasting them into another section. I've heard of writers who pinned the entire manuscript up on the wall as they worked and others who spread the whole thing out on the floor. Technology has helped writers enormously, but it hasn't figured out how to spread the pages of a novel out on the dining room table so you can see each of them whole. While you will of course edit, correct, and reword passages and move others around as you compose on the computer, the real work of rewriting requires something more.

Arbeit Macht Frei
By Brian Farrelly
I support this event and condemn the terrible atrocities inflicted on a peace loving people, we must never forget this.
After watching footage of the concentration Camps many years ago I felt compelled to write this poem.
They came in the morning
to take us to Jail
Beat and abused us,
the tribe of Israel.
The men dressed in black
Dragged all from their beds,
black shiny boots and silver
deaths head.
They came in the twilight
Black Angels of hate,
Marched us to rail yards
And then to the gate.
Look up son of David
Look up there and see
The words of the Fuhrer
Arbeit Macht Frei.
Long have we travelled
Long have we cried
Beaten, abused, sentenced to die,
Seeds born on winds to
The ends of the earth,
Far from our homeland
The land of our birth.
Remember your people
Honour your dead,
Remember their suffering
Their pain and their dread.
Remember the words and
The Fuhrer's decree,
high in the air
Arbeit Macht Frei.

Yelp is continually calling me and is HIGH PRESSURE no matter how nice you are. The biggest issue I have with them is that they HIDE legit reviews. I have told them that the reviews they hide are called "not recommended reviews"
Which in our opinion implies that they are false/fake reviews, not to be trusted reviews.
Fine, if you want a software to weed out reviews, then go ahead and do that. Yet when you have reps calling me all the time, FIX the problem. We can even provide all the information they need to show these are REAL customers. Facebook does this too. They sort your reviews by what they think seems real. NEWS FLASH, most of our business are out of state customers (internet age). If 98% of my customers are from around the customer, then that means Yelp is only going to post 2% of the reviews.
STOP CALLING ME YELP until you fix the problem!

Enterprise social collaboration has become a business imperative, driven in large part by the role social media has played in changing how we communicate in our everyday lives. However, enterprise social collaboration can represent more than just a change in how an organization communicates, leading to a fundamental change in an organization's culture.
It is about enabling a more transparent, informed and efficient way of accomplishing basic day-to-day tasks at the workplace. Enterprises need to learn new skills to effectively implement and utilize collaborative social tools in order to achieve business goals. Developing enterprise collaboration is not only about how you set up the architecture from a technology standpoint or the platform you choose; in fact, it's not even primarily about technology.
An enterprise will be required to make significant organizational changes to encourage appropriate usage and maximize the probability of success in a collaborative environment. The biggest challenge in implementing collaboration is making it "stick." The ability to overcome the barriers to user adoption makes up the foundation of a successful collaborative initiative.
Barriers to Enterprise Collaboration Adoption
In many organizations, despite the popularity of social media, it may not be immediately obvious how to derive measurable business value from these tools. The incentives to collaborate at work are quite different from those in an employee's personal life. In order to overcome this barrier, employees need to understand the multiple uses of the new tools and change their overall perception of these tools. Employees need to see the collaboration tools as enablers of business, not just for socializing. Education is critical in helping bring about this change in user perception.
It cannot entirely be the responsibility of IT to deploy enterprise social collaboration initiatives. Collaboration involves technology that IT teams deploy, but this is only one piece of the puzzle. Promoting user adoption, governing how the applications are used and enabling a new kind of collaboration among employees are all pan-organizational concerns. It is important for the organization to recognize that the collaboration initiative starts far before IT involvement and extends beyond deployment.
In many organizations, there are implicit cultural barriers to sharing and transparency. It becomes difficult to promote collaboration in such an environment, as this requires a change in organizational culture. To promote adoption, management must present a unified front, lead by example, provide clear consistent communication about what is expected and reward employees for helping shift the company into a new collaborative era.
Change Management and Governance are Critical
There are numerous change management techniques involved in adoption, and each is effective in different enterprises. For an enterprise that traditionally relies on a top-down leadership approach, assigning an executive champion can prove to be effective.
As an example, Cisco, the company behind some of the most popular enterprise collaboration tools, implemented top-down change management structures. Nick Earle, vice president of Services for Cisco Europe, created five "councils" to oversee collaboration activities. These champions evangelize the benefits of the collaboration tools to other employees and can also help set goals for adoption across the organization. It is essential to have a group of early adopters to actively evangelize regarding the new initiative. These evangelizers are able to lead their peers by example. While collaboration is about breaking down organizational silos and transforming old ways of doing things, there still must be parameters around what users can do in the collaborative environment. Governance is essential and helps deal with problematic situations such as:
- What happens if there is an information security breach?
- Does the organization have a social media policy?
- Are all employees aware of the policies?
- Who are the owners of the collaboration channels?
Quick steps to a good governance framework are:
- Address concerns while developing the collaboration architecture.
- Balance risk management and employee empowerment.
- Ensure all users understand the rules.
- Create a governance committee comprised of senior-level managers who have the authority to make quick decisions.
While there are many non-technological barriers that can affect the effective implementation of collaboration in an enterprise, with the right strategy and proper planning, these barriers can be overcome and an enterprise can reap the benefits of a collaborative platform.

"I do not like to travel", said no one ever. Travelling is a beautiful experience that introduces you to new people, cultures and locations. One you have been bitten by the travel bug, there is no stopping you. However, in today's world, we often tend to get stuck in the rut of our daily lives and as much as we want to drop everything and set off to new places, we do not.
Hopefully, these few inspiring stories of people who are jet-setting around the globe will give you goals and provide you with all the travel inspo you need.
Just last week, we were introduced to Cassandra De Pecol, who is probably the first (and the fastest) woman to travel all the countries in the world. She has almost ticked every country off her list and is in the last leg of her trip. Her journey is called Expedition 196 and she is traveling as an ambassador for Peace and Global Citizen. Although most of her expenses are sponsored, isn't she a source of inspiration, especially for all single women travelers out there.
The "Follow Me" couple
The first picture was an accident but it became so popular that couple Murad Osmann and Natalia Zakharova started an entire series called 'Follow Me'. The series includes pictures of Natalia leading Osmann at several exotic locations and famous landmarks all across the globe, which inspired several other couples to follow their footsteps.
Biker chick
Roshni Sharma is the first Indian woman who rode a bike from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. Covering 19 states in 11 days, this was one badass trip.
Best budget couple
Husband and wife Devapriya Roy and Saurav Jha quit their 9-to-5 jobs to follow their passion and travel. They traveled on a budget of Rs. 500 per day and wrote a book about it titled The Heat and Dust Project. Aren't these two providing some major travel goals for every couple out there?!
Chai walas turned travellers
Chai walas seem to be in the news for doing really cool things. Vijayan and his wife Mohana have a tea stall in Kochi and the couple has travelled to 17 countries in the world. They save up and take loans, if necessary, to plan their trips but do not compromise on their passion for travel.
Reading these few inspiring stories makes us want to get packing and take off right away. Don't you agree?

The Doctrine of Justification in the Church of England
The Doctrine of Justification in the Church of England by Robin Leaver.
The doctrine of justification by faith alone was for Luther something to sing about, for Calvin something to think about, and for Cranmer something to pray about. Luther expressed the doctrine in his hymns, Calvin in his Institutes, and Cranmer in his liturgy for the English church. But for all the Reformers, however they expressed the doctrine, justification was the touchstone of their theology, not because they were interested in dogma for its own sake but because they found it to be at the heart of the teaching of Scripture.

The ASB Rite A Communion
The ASB Rite A Communion - A Way Forward by Roger Beckwith.
How did we get to where we are today with Anglican liturgy and Common Worship?
This study was written in 1979, considering the revision of the Prayer book since the 1960s and the formation of the Alternative Service Book (ASB). Roger Beckwith concentrated on the revision of the most controversial of the services in the Prayer Book, Holy Communion to show the doctrinal implications of the reform. He also discusses what steps the church would be wise to take next. This short book raises issues important to our current liturgy as well such as issues of doctrine and intelligible language.

Stress and anxiety can have very adverse effects on the brain and the way it functions. Many times stress acts as a process to deal with threats both physical and emotional. Under normal conditions stress is necessary to protect the body. However under unusually high stress situations the brain can actually be damaged by too much stress and anxiety.
Stress CauseAccording to Robert Sapolsky, "the cause of the damage to the brain comes from the hormone adrenaline, norepinephrine, and cortisol. All of these hormones act to increase the heart rate and can act to diminish the feeling of pain". Robert Sapolsky has found that prolonged stress can shrink the hippocampus section of the brain. The hippocampus is one of the major components of the brain and is responsible for long term memory as well as spatial navigation. The function of the hippocampus section of the brain can be improved through decreasing the effects of stress. Taking charge in the way one deals with problems can dramatically decrease the stress one experiences. The first step in dealing with stress is identifying where the stress is coming from. Many times, changing one's outlook on life can decrease stress. Positive thinking is the key mechanism in controlling stress. We may not be able to control the environment around us; however, we can directly control the thoughts that go through our mind.
Stress ManagementAn extremely effective way of managing stress can be the act of smiling. Even if one does not feel like smiling, consciously smiling can have a big effect on ones mood. It can be that simple. When you feel very stressed, try lifting the corners of the mouth to form a smile. Notice the feeling from a smile and consciously focus on how good it feels. Smiling can be a very strong form of meditation. By smiling, one is letting their body know that everything is all right and is actually good! The body is tricked very easily. This can decrease the amount of adrenaline that is released and helps to decrease stress. Instead of telling the body it's time to fight or fly, a smile tells the body everything is good and it's time to relax and have a great time.
Relieve StressThe reason smiling works so well is that it forces the body to release endorphins immediately. Endorphins can create a feeling of euphoria. Smiling therefore is a less addicting way to experience the euphoria producing hormones that can be felt by taking drugs such as cocaine or even heroine.

Over the next fifteen years, with these new Goals that universally apply to all, countries will mobilise efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change, while ensuring that no one is left behind.
The SDGs, also known as Global Goals, build on the success of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and aim to go further to end all forms of poverty. The new Goals are unique in that they call for action by all countries, poor, rich and middle-income to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognise that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and addresses a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection.

Customer apologizes, pays for taking extra food from buffet
Customer apologizes, pays for taking extra food from buffet
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. —
That's what the handwritten letter said to Rocky Rasmussen, who owns a KFC restaurant in North Platte.
He told The North Platte Telegraph that the envelope the letter came in also had $2 in it.
The letter said the writer had taken more chicken from the buffet than she could eat Tuesday, so she put a piece in her purse and took it home. That broke the restaurant's buffet policy: You can't take away extra food.
Rasmussen says it seemed to him the woman's conscience "got the best of her."
There was no return address on the envelope or a name on the letter.

An Expendable Last Supper
Below is another in a long line of Last Supper/Pop Culture mashups and just when I think I'm sick and tired of this Internet cliche I discover myself smiling ear to ear. Stallone as a pistol packin' Christ = instantaneous chuckles. Still, my favorite example of The Last Supper motif is Brandon Bird's epic James Woods + Robocop dinner table.

HCM CITY (VNS)— Sixteen new transport infrastructure projects and 12 transport projects that are under construction will be given top priority this year by the city government.
Among the prioritised transport projects recently approved by the city's authority are three overpasses that will help curb traffic jams at intersections.
These include overpasses at the Cay Go Roundabout in District 11; at February 3 Street - Nguyen Tri Phuong Intersection in District 10; and Cong Hoa - Hoang Hoa Tham Intersection. Construction is expected to be completed this year.
Several delayed transport projects will be given priority as well, such as the one to expand the Inter-provincial Road No 10; the project to fight water erosion of Thanh Da Canal in Binh Thanh District; and the project to upgrade Nguyen Thi Thap Street in District 7.
In an effort to complete work on schedule, the city has also urged the acceleration of the ODA (official development assistance)-funded projects, including metro lines No 1 and No 2, a project to dredge Soai Rap River (Phase 2).
Total investments for these major transport infrastructure projects, including ODA-funded projects, amount to over VND145 trillion ($6.9 billion).
Tat Thanh Cang, director of HCM City's Department of Transport, said this year the city would focus its capital on construction of the most urgent projects.
These projects, many of them of medium-scale, are crucial for the development of the city's economy.
Cang said the project to build the road to Hiep Phuoc River Port is one of the major projects to be accelerated.
The project to dredge Soai Rap River (Phase 2) will be completed next year.
If the project to dredge the river is completed but there is not a road, the port would not be able to operate at full capacity. —VNS

Sandro Magister
Francis is certainly not a philosopher pope, seeing the nonchalance with which he mistreats the principle of non-contradiction and the inconsistency of the four postulates on which he says his thought is based.
Curiously, however, he is offering rich material for "disputatio" to none other than the philosophers. One of these, Rocco Buttiglione, took to the field a few days ago to demolish point by point the "Correctio Filialis" sent to the pope last August 11 by 40 Catholic scholars from all over the world, most of them also philosophers, with the request to correct seven heresies lurking – in their judgment – in the eighth chapter of "Amoris Laetitia."
Buttiglione formulated his apologia for pope's perfect orthodoxy in this interview with Andrea Tornielli in Vatican Insider of October 3:
> "The 'Correctio'? The method is incorrect: they do not discuss, they condemn"
And now here comes another philosopher who is counterattacking, dismantling Buttiglione's ideas in turn and once again criticizing "Amoris Laetitia."
He does so in an interview with Diane Montagna on LifeSiteNews on October 10:
> "Amoris Laetitia" uses orthodoxy as "mask" to conceal moral errors: Catholic philosopher
The philosopher in question is Professor Claudio Pierantoni (photo), who teaches medieval philosophy at the Universidad de Chile and is one of the signers of the "Correctio."
The "Correctio" is certainly not immune from objections, both of method and of content, like those formulated a few days ago on Settimo Cielo by another scholar of philosophy, Francesco Arzillo.
But neither is "Amoris Laetitia" innocent, seeing the babel of contrasting interpretations that it has generated, on the part of entire episcopacies, of individual bishops, of theologians, and indeed of philosophers.
Buttiglione and Pierantoni know each other very well. The former – a well-known scholar of, among other things, the philosophical thought of Karol Wojtyla – has been for many years in Chile one of the most renowned professors, with Pierantoni among his students, of the International Academy of Philosophy founded by the illustrious Austrian philosopher Josef Seifert. And – what do you know – Seifert was recently expelled from the Granada branch of his academy at the order of the city's archbishop, precisely for having publicly criticized, in the light of "pure logic," a key passage of "Amoris Laetitia."
The complete text of the interview with Pierantoni is available on LifeSiteNews.

Traditional Dress
In former times the Inuits only wore clothes made from animal hides or skins. These clothes were warm and hardwearing, and if properly looked after could cope with the winter's freezing temperatures in the Arctic region. Both men and women's clothes consisted of furs, trousers and boots, but the cut and choice of animal skin was different for each sex. The skins were taken from animals that were killed and captured, and, depending on the species of the prey, were of very different weight, durability and appearance.
Men's clothing was made so that they would neither freeze to death on their long hunting trips on the winter ice nor be soaked to the skin when hunting by kayak. "A man is what his wife makes him," said the Inuits, because they knew that if they were to survive in the harsh Arctic winter, the skins used in their clothes had to be carefully chosen and perfectly sewn. Being a skilled seamstress thus earned a woman a great deal of respect. If you could sew good kamiks, trousers and anoraks, then you were assured of a good existence. Today the traditional animal skin suits can be seen in most local museums.
When the Europeans set foot in Greenland in the 17th and 18th centuries, they brought with them clothing fabrics and glass beads as goods to trade. These materials gradually become incorporated into the Inuits' dress, particularly for festive attire. For men the hide trousers were replaced by a thick woollen material called 'holmensklæde' (literally island cloth), and for women the anorak was sewn in silks. The glass beads were initially used in the same way as when decorating oneself with beads fashioned from bone. It gradually became prestigious to use more and more beads, and this trend is particularly visible on the women's national costume.
Today the Greenlandic national costume is used on special festive occasions and at festivals such as Christmas, Easter, Greenland's National Day, confirmations and weddings. On birthdays the national costume can also be used, not least on a child's first birthday. When a child has his or her first day at school at the beginning of August, it is a day of great celebration in Greenland. The six-year-old girls and boys are usually dressed in national costumes on this special day. In addition to the traditional festivals, visitors to Greenland will also see the national costume being worn when cruise ships call at port or when there are other special events.

Are you looking for reliable shipping container information? Well, you've come to the right place. Tiger Containers has been selling and modifying shipping containers for the last three decades, which makes us somewhat an authority in the industry.
In this post, we will take you through a crash course on everything you need to know about shipping containers to help you out when making your purchase. As they say, knowledge is power; and we'll share our 30 years' worth with you.
Let's start from the beginning: where do shipping containers come from?
The Beginning – where did shipping containers come from?
Before 1956, goods used to be loaded onto ships and offloaded directly one piece at a time, which was very slow. One man, Malcom Maclean, noticed this problem and solved it by inventing the shipping container. A few improvements have been made since then to create the present day ISO container.
At the moment, about 90% of global trade is carried by sea with shipping containers playing a major part. It's estimated that at any one time there are about six million containers being transported around the world on ships, trucks, and train. Most of these originate from China – where most of the world's goods (and the containers themselves) are manufactured.
Of these, only a small fraction will be transported back to their port of origin for re-use due to high relocation costs which leads to the "abandonment" of shipping containers in their places of delivery. This phenomenon has made shipping containers abundantly available at low costs virtually everywhere in the world.
What types of shipping containers are there?
There are several variations of the shipping container available, each is designed to suit a particular type of cargo. They include:
1. General purpose container. This is the most common type of cargo container in the world. It's used for transporting and storing dry cargo. A slightly taller variation of this is called a high-cube.
2. Temperature controlled containers. These are either refrigerated, insulated or heated and are used to transport perishable goods.
3. Open-top containers/open-side. These resemble the general purpose container but have removable canvas tops or side walls. They are used for transporting oversized goods and goods that require ventilation respectively.
4. Flat rack containers. These are flat racks with collapsible walls used for transporting out-of-gauge cargo.
What are the shipping container sizes?
Internationally, two common sea container sizes are popular: the 20ft container and the 40ft container. Tiger Containers stocks these sizes and can also provide custom-sized containers ranging anywhere between 5ft and 40ft.
What are the cargo container uses and modifications?
Because of the sea containers availability, affordability, durability and versatility; this modular structure is being used for numerous purposes outside of shipping. Here are some uses and popular modifications.
1. Storage.
This is probably the oldest way of using shipping containers other than shipping. A container, with very few modifications, can be converted into a store for different kinds of goods. They can be used for on-site storage, to complement existing storage facilities or as a temporary storage solution.
In addition to selling shipping containers modified for secure storage, Tiger Containers also provides a secure facility with 24/7 camera surveillance where you can keep the container.
Side note: Preventing condensation in shipping containers
Although shipping containers are ideal for storing goods, damage can occur as a result of moisture build up and condensation. Take the following precautions to ensure your stored items remain moisture free:
– Ensure the container is dry before you load it.
– Use plastic pallets instead of timber ones as they contain zero moisture.
– Use desiccants to absorb extra moisture.
– Have dehumidifiers and air conditioning installed.
– Install vents on the cargo container to allow air circulation.
For perishable goods, Tiger Containers also supplies refrigerated cargo containers. This storage facility can be used as a large cool room for functions and large events and enables the user to adjust the temperature as desired.
Because cargo containers are easy to transport, they provide the ideal storage solution for migratory use where a lot of movement takes place.
2. Accommodation
Whether you want a complete home, a holiday home or an addition to your existing home, sea containers provide an affordable yet durable alternative. Tiger Containers will provide quality cargo containers for your project and make all the necessary modifications for a living space that meets your specific needs.
We'll install everything you require for comfort such as air conditioning, windows, doorways, electricity wiring, flooring, plumbing and any other amenity you require. Cargo containers give you a way to build a comfortable custom house at an affordable price.
3. Ablution units
Sea containers can be modified into safe, hygienic ablution blocks ideal for high volume use such as at large events, construction sites and sporting clubs where toilets and bathrooms are required urgently. Tiger has been providing these types of units for years and will conduct all modifications including plumbing.
4. Kitchens
If you're looking for a temporary kitchen for a company function or for temporary use as your home's kitchen gets repaired, shipping containers provide a practical and hygienic solution. A full sized heavy or light duty kitchen can be fitted into a container with all the amenities you have come to expect from your traditional kitchen.
Some of the other modifications that we do for shipping containers include shipping container swimming pools, container offices, shipping container farms, dangerous goods containers and so much more.
Tiger Container's pro buying tips
We know how difficult buying a shipping container can be, so here are a few tips to help you out. When buying a shipping container, always check to see that the container is:
1. Wind-water-tight.
2. Free of major dents that could affect its integrity.
3. Rust free.
4. Has no odour
5. And has doors that close and open properly.
At Tiger Containers, we conduct all the necessary inspections for you to ensure that you get a high-quality container. We also provide a 3-month warranty to help you rest easy.
With more than 30 years in the Cargo container business, Tiger Containers has the experience to cater for all your container needs. Whether you need to rent, buy or modify a sea container, we will get you what you need, fast. Talk to us to get expert advice, we are happy to help.

Me, And My Ultimate Face Wipe Hunt…
I have been on the hunt for some time, for decent, environmentally friendly, good value, face wipes.

So, I decided wipes were going to be the way forward, to more »

Well guy, you might actually need one…
Why does anyone need a personal trainer?
Well there are various reasons. All pretty logical ones, if you're into that logic stuff. And since you're clicking on my completely amazing "backed by science" blog here, I'll give you a quick, slightly hilarious run down of why.
Pictured: So wrong. So very very wrong. We'll save comment for a future article about advertising.
1) You have a motivation issue.
You would think that not feeling good, or fast, or strong, or able to lift something in the kitchen would be motivation enough to want to get in better shape, but for a lot of people they stack literally everything in front of the need for a better, healthier life. This can be tied into an accountability issue for a lot. There are some very proud people out there that won't admit they need someone to bark instructions at them to do something in their minds, as trivial as exercise. But motivation and accountability go hand in hand. You aren't getting to the gym, and you are justifying all your excuses to where it's easy to dismiss making and developing better lifestyle habits.
Because really that is what it is. You're replacing not-so-healthy habits with good-for-you habits. Fitness works when you make it a part of your life, not try and wedge it into your week when it's easy. A good trainer will help you develop these. Or die trying.
2) You want to be educated by someone.
There are roughly 16 billion fitness articles on the internet. All of them claim to be right. There are some pretty easy ones, that are "backed by science" (no really, we mean it this time). A good trainer who is constantly learning, studying, trying out new exercises, taking seminars, and doing research are what you want, mostly to either get you interested in something or to answer questions. Now this doesn't necessarily mean someone is certified knows everything. In fact, some of the best trainers I've met don't have a million certifications (some can get certified and forget a lot of what they learned) but they are always doing things to make themselves reliable pillars of information. Like myself, I would like to have a brief answer to most anything. And if I don't, I will get it as soon as I can to give them an answer.
The answer usually isn't speaking in tongues either.
This also means that when you hire a trainer, you want to know they will understand proper form, basic nutritional information, and how to explain things in a way that make sense to someone who might not have any background in fitness.
3) When you do exercise, you don't know what you're doing:
Are you the type who wants to figure it out on their own? You might be. But when it comes to exercise you can do one of two things: watch a lot of bad form in the gym and copy it or spend hours looking online for how to do things right. And if you're a busy body working a lot, you might not have that kind of time.
"Do you at least have time to check out my sweet watch? It's pretty sweet…"
This is where hiring a fitness coach makes all the sense in the world. You'll have someone who has repeatedly shown others how to do the basics, and watch in order to correct it. Trust us, as the leader of the "Defend Proper Form" movement, we see bad form in the gym a lot and wonder "they would benefit from even a few sessions to learn how to do this all the right way". Developing good habits with fitness aren't just limited to making it a part of your life, it's doing it the RIGHT way once you're in there.
4) Getting Some Results?
If you are not able to motivate yourself, if you don't know what you're doing in the gym or how to perform exercises, chances are you're not getting the results YOU want. And becoming stronger, leaner, more flexible and healthier isn't something you can just think about. The number one thing we hear from people as trainers when they come to us for help is "well, I'll think about starting or getting sessions" but they've already been thinking about it for 6 months. In that six months, they've hurt their back, developed irregular exercise patterns, obtained bad form and gotten frustrated and stopped trying. This is the case a lot of the time.
This is why we train. To be that go to for YOU. To help you with all of the above.
That and we just got tired of flipping out desk over at a job before we started becoming trainers. It got expensive.
There are plenty of reasons to not get a SPECIFIC trainer, and believe us we've seen some bad ones. But just like a great metal show, don't let that one bad apple keep you from going into the crowd and bouncing around and joining in. Chances are either at your local gym or personal training studio, there are trainers that will fit what you are looking for. Wish to train with a female instead of a male? Most gyms have both. Looking for someone with a diverse pallet of methods? You should want that in a trainer, as any trainer should never try and train every client only one way. Are you looking for a trainer that is a good people person that can really listen to your needs and create a program for them? Again, this is a good thing.
Pictured: Just turn in your certification and go home.
So it's March 2016. Time to stop thinking about it and get to your local gym and INVEST in your health. While training might not seem cheap (and cheap training is a 'you get what you pay for' kind of thing) it is certainly a worthwhile investment that will be cheaper than constant hospital visits the older you get. Speaking from experience, living a healthy lifestyle has kept the clock from going mach 5 in my life, and I intend on staying as young as possible because of it, for as long as I can.

Here's what I know about these drums: I bought them from an older cat in town who's retired from playing, Dick Bortolusi. The drums have 60's stamps inside (65 or 68 - I can't remember and the drums aren't at home). The badges are black and silver, which I believe are 70s badges. Dick told me the drums were re-wrapped with Slingerland WMP at Marv Dahlgren's shop. Marv is the main author of 4-way Coordination, and had a drum shop in Minneapolis back in the day. So my guess is that they were re-wrapped in the 70s, and had the black/silver badges put on then.
The drums came with Naugahyde bags for the 12/14/18. Inside the 18 bag is Elliot Fine's name and phone number. Elliot was the co-author of 4-way Coordination, and like Marv, a percussionist with the Minneapolis Symphony. I didn't ask Dick, but I surmise that he bought the drums from Elliot. The bags will go with the kit.
The wrap and chrome are in very good shape. No lifting, and the chrome shines. There is one rust spot on the small tom rim.
Everything seems original (as far as I can tell - I'm not a collector), except an after-market cymbal holder (Ludwig, I think) on the bd. I have the cymbal arm for it.
The bass drum has 4 extra holes under the wrap. I think this kit originally came with a 10" tom in addition to the 12. My guess is that the extra holes are from an older Slingerland double tom mount, which was replaced with the Swivomatic. One of the hoops is also a bit out of round, but it still works fine. I don't know if there's anything going on under the wrap on the toms - they came to me with coated heads on both sides, and I never looked.
I think Dick still has the 10" tom from the kit, and the Swivomatic double holder. If you want both toms, I'll check with Dick and you'll pay whatever he wants for it (it would have been $100 when I bought the kit).
The drums sound great - nothing more to say about them. Very warm. I like the snare as much as the George Way I've been playing for 10 years. Warm and articulate. The drums are currently at my out of town practice spot. I'll bring them home this weekend or next. I can take more pictures then - for now, I just have one.
I'm listing the drums here for $1,000 + shipping. And here's the thing:I'll leave the listing up, and not post them anywhere else, for about a week. If they don't sell by then, I'll list them elsewhere at a higher price. If you're seriously interested, but need more pics, pm me and we'll work something out. But I'm selling these because I need the $ for other things, so it's first come, first served.
That's the deal. Happy to answer questions.
