During Mass in the Mother Church of England and Wales, Pope Benedict again expressed his deep sorrow over the "unspeakable crimes" of clerical sex abuse. His homily also spoke of the reality of the Eucharist, especially for British Catholics.
The reality of the Eucharistic sacrifice has always been at the heart of Catholic faith; called into question in the 16th century, it was solemnly reaffirmed at the Council of Trent against the backdrop of our justification in Christ. Here in England, as we know, there were many who staunchly defended the Mass, often at great cost, giving rise to that devotion to the Most Holy Eucharist which has been the hallmark of Catholicism in these lands.
The Eucharistic sacrifice of the Body and Blood of Christ embraces in turn the mystery of our Lord's continuing passion in the members of his Mystical Body, the Church in every age. Here the great crucifix which towers above us serves as a reminder that Christ, our eternal high priest, daily unites our own sacrifices, our own sufferings, our own needs, hopes and aspirations, to the infinite merits of his sacrifice. Through him, with him, and in him, we lift up our own bodies as a sacrifice holy and acceptable to God (cf Rom 12:1). In this sense we are caught up in his eternal oblation, completing, as St Paul says, in our flesh what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, the Church (cf Col 1:24). In the life of the Church, in her trials and tribulations, Christ continues, in the stark phrase of Pascal, to be in agony until the end of the world (Pensees, 553, ed. Brunschvicg).
We see this aspect of the mystery of Christ's precious blood represented, most eloquently, by the martyrs of every age, who drank from the cup which Christ himself drank, and whose own blood, shed in union with his sacrifice, gives new life to the Church. It is also reflected in our brothers and sisters throughout the world who even now are suffering discrimination and persecution for their Christian faith. Yet it is also present, often hidden in the suffering of all those individual Christians who daily unite their sacrifices to those of the Lord for the sanctification of the Church and the redemption of the world. My thoughts go in a special way to all those who are spiritually united with this Eucharistic celebration, and in particular the sick, the elderly, the handicapped and those who suffer mentally and spiritually.
In the afternoon, Pope Benedict had a private meeting with victims of clergy abuse. He prayed with them and gave them the assurances that the Church was "continuing to implement effective measures designed to safeguard young people, and that it is doing all in its power to investigate allegations, to collaborate with civil authorities, and to bring to justice clergy and religious accused of these egregious crimes".
Pope Benedict told residents of a care home in Vauxhall that he had not come just as a father, but also as "a brother who knows well the joys and the struggles that come with age".
Our long years of life afford us the opportunity to appreciate both the beauty of God's greatest gift to us, the gift of life, as well as the fragility of the human spirit. Those of us who live many years are given a marvellous chance to deepen our awareness of the mystery of Christ, who humbled himself to share in our humanity. As the normal span of our lives increases, our physical capacities are often diminished; and yet these times may well be among the most spiritually fruitful years of our lives. These years are an opportunity to remember in affectionate prayer all those whom we have cherished in this life, and to place all that we have personally been and done before the mercy and tenderness of God. This will surely be a great spiritual comfort and enable us to discover anew his love and goodness all the days of our life.
With these sentiments, dear brothers and sisters, I am pleased to assure you of my prayers for you all and I ask you for your prayers for me. May our blessed Lady and her spouse Saint Joseph intercede for our happiness in this life and obtain for us the blessing of a serene passage to the next.
After switching from a limousine into the Popemobile at the Treasury, the Holy Father was cheered along on his way to Hyde Park, where he a told a crowd of 80,000 people that the Gospel had to be lived as well as believed.
No one who looks realistically at our world today could think that Christians can afford to go on with business as usual, ignoring the profound crisis of faith which has overtaken our society, or simply trusting that patrimony of values handed down by the Christian centuries will continue to inspire and shape the future of our society.
We know that in times of crisis and upheaval God has raised up great saint and prophets for the renewal of the Church and Christian society; we trust in providence and we pray for his continued guidance. But each of us, in accordance with his or her state of life, is called to work for the advancement of God's Kingdom by imbuing temporal life with the values of the Gospel.
Each of us has a mission, each of us is called to change the world, to work for a culture of life, a culture forged by love and respect for the dignity of each human person. As our Lord tells us in the Gospel we have just heard, our light must shine in the sight of all, so that, on seeing our good works, they may give praise to our heavenly Father."

Go to one of the tourist locations around the world and you might spot enterprising folks offering to inscribe or write your name on a grain of rice. Those who have never read (or those who have forgotten) the verse above, might be excited to have their names printed on a grain of rice by a stranger – and pay for it. Even if it is really of no consequence at all!
"See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;" – Isaiah 49:16
God is in love with every one of us. In Hindu and Islamic marriages, a bride gets her hands and feet decorated with floral and other designs using henna. Somewhere within the design or pattern, she asks for the name of the person she loves so much to be drawn – her bridegroom's. Well, God loves us so much, that He has inscribed us on the palm of His own hands – the very hands of the Creator of the entire Universe! And not just on one hand, but on His hands – meaning both of them! O what a privilege to have our refuge in the hands of our Creator!
Dear Reader, if you don't know what I am talking about, then probably you have not read the Bible. Read the Bible – it is the inspired Word of God. It tells you how much God loves you and that He has a plan for your life much more than simply living for weekends, occasional getaways and children's convocations and marriages. Draw near to Him – after all it's He who is your first relative. He conceived your beautiful baby face in His heart before your parents saw your face in the labour room, or even conceived you! He was with you always and now He wants you to be with Him forever into eternity, starting with your life here on Earth.

1. It is arguably India's most famous family conglomerate. Established by Parsi industrialist Jamsetji Tata under British colonial rule in 1868, the sprawling steel-to-salt conglomerate is now worth more than $100 billion and operates in more than 100 countries globally. Tata Sons is the holding company of the Tata Group.
2. There are very few areas into which Tata has not ventured, with the group dealing in everything from salt and tea to watches, luxury cars and opulent five-star hotels.
3. Its most high-profile companies are India's largest carmaker Tata Motors, which owns Britain's Jaguar Land Rover, the IT outsourcing giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Tata Steel, Tata Global beverages and Tata Chemicals.
4. The Tata Group is also in telecommunications through its company Tata Teleservices while its hotel chain runs Mumbai's Taj Mahal Palace and other high-end establishments.
5. Tata's tentacles have stretched across the globe in recent years as it went on a buying spree, picking up a number of major names including Britain's Tetley Tea and the Anglo-Dutch steel firm Corus.
6. Ratan Tata -- for the next four months anyway. The media-shy septuagenarian has taken interim charge, four years after making way for Mistry, and is leading the hunt for a new successor.
7. Tata took the reins of the group in 1991 and led it for 21 years during which he was credited with driving its expansion abroad in the 2000s.
8. Each Tata company operates independently and has its own board of directors answerable to shareholders. Notable CEOs include Guenter Butschek at Tata Motors and Natarajan Chandrasekaran of TCS.
9. Like many businesses, it's facing major headwinds in the form of the sluggish global economy, volatile currencies and fluctuating commodity prices. Tata Group's revenue slipped 4.6 percent for the financial year ended March while a number of its firms have their own problems.
10. Tata Steel is the most notable. It's struggling to find a buyer for its huge loss-making British assets, with 15,000 jobs in the UK at risk, while TCS profits are down as clients tighten their purse strings.
Tata Motors is also bearing the brunt of weak sales of its luxury unit Jaguar Land Rover, while Japanese mobile services provider NTT Docomo is demanding Tata coughs up a $1.17 billion arbitration payment awarded at an international hearing.
That's not easy to answer. What is clear however is that Ratan Tata is a proud Anglophile and fond of his investments in Britain. He became increasingly frustrated at Mistry's focus on divesting loss-making assets and was saddened by the battering that Tata's reputation was taking in Britain over the uncertainty surrounding its steel assets, according to analysts.
He could be reluctant to sell something he bought which could mean good news for British steel workers. But at the same time the change of leadership may create more uncertainty as British business leaders had been meeting with Mistry fairly regularly in a bid to reach a financial deal.

Myanmar ranked 112 out of 172 countries according to new End of Childhood Index
Many Myanmar children have had their childhood 'stolen' according to a new global report released by Save the Children that lists the country 112th out of a total 172.
The report finds that for at least 700 million children world-wide (one quarter of the world's children) – childhood has ended due to factors like death from preventable illness or accidents, early marriage, teenage pregnancy, extreme violence, exclusion from school, the need to work or malnutrition.
Country specific data was analysed and used to rank countries from 1 (best) to 172 (worst) for the protection of childhood. The list was then divided into four tiers – from tier one listing countries where 'few' children are missing out on childhood, to tier four where 'most' children are missing out on childhood.
Myanmar is listed as the first country in tier three where 'many' children face a stolen childhood. The report highlights Myanmar's child mortality rate (50 per 1000 live births), rates of child stunting (29.2%) and the number of primary and secondary children out of school (29.4%), as the indicators of most concern.
In relation to these three indicators, the report makes several recommendations to Government, including:
- That in order to eliminate deaths from preventable or treatable causes, essential services for women's, children's and adolescents' health should be prioritized in their efforts to achieve universal health coverage as a key component of their national health systems by 203
- That to reduce child stunting, national reduction targets should be in place which can demonstrate progress towards meeting the globally agreed World Health Assembly nutrition targets.
- Plans should be in place to ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable, safe and quality basic education leading to relevant and effective learning outcomes.
Norway and Slovenia top the list as countries where childhood is best protected - with West African countries Niger and Angola listed as countries where childhood is protected the least. Myanmar's neighbouringcountries India, Lao PDR and Bangladesh are ranked lower than Myanmar in the report at 116, 130 and 134 respectively, with China and Thailand both ranked higher at 41 and 84.
Country Director for Save the Children, Mr. Michael McGrath, said that although the ranking indicates there is still a lot more to be done to ensure all children's rights in Myanmar are protected, it is important to recognise the progress that has been made in recent years.
"Save the Children believe there are some reasons to feel optimistic," Mr McGrath said. "For example, stunting rates for children in Myanmar are declining – and we believe the Government's recent commitment to prioritising action on nutrition will ensure statistics continue to improve."
"We also continue to work closely with the Government and our partners on a range of programmes that are helping to improve education, health and protection outcomes for many children."
"We are particularly excited about the cash transfer pilot for pregnant women and new mothers in Chin State where we are working closely with the Ministry of Health and Sport and the Department of Social Welfare," Mr McGrath said. "However, we call on the Government to further enhance funding and support for education and health services - with a particular emphasis on the most marginalised and vulnerable children. That includes children living in both urban and remote areas – as well as ethnic minorities and stateless children.

Our biggest project to date is Newspaper Club. It started as a silly experiment (Things Our Friends Have Written On The Internet) and ended up as a business being written about by The Guardian, the BBC and Fast Company.
S3FM started because Russell wanted to make Permanent Bedtime and asked Tom to make a way to stream audio out of S3 folders. Which he did. And then Ben did a logo which made it look like a radio station. If you'd like some randomly interesting audio you could try the Speechfication/S3FM station.
The plan is that, eventually, S3FM will evolve into Radio Club.
We're interested in the way the digital and the analogue interact – particularly the way digital stuff can be transformed into objects. Previously this has tended to end up in something meaningful and artistic. We didn't want to do that. We wanted to do something quotidian and trivial. So we took people's social network data and transformed it into Christmas decorations using 3D printing and laser cut acrylics. Then for Christmas 2011 we made a business out of it with FRSTEE.
Curious scarves are unisex scarves that allow you to share you relationship status with the world. Using the visual cues of the game of noughts & crosses, 3 patterns that signal "looking for men", "looking for women" and "looking for both". Because dating is hard in the big city.
The Big Red Button is a shiny round plastic red button that triggers the spacebar to be pressed when you press the button. Very useful for presentations and other digital shenanigans. Made by Daniel Soltis, after Russell came up with the idea. On sale now! Featured as part of the MoMa's exhibition Talk to Me
Where the F**k Was I? is a book by James mapping a year of location data, as recorded automatically by his phone, without his knowledge. You can read more about the project at booktwo.org, and the book is available for sale at Lulu.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:If you do not get the automated e-mail response within 30 minutes, and if there was no typo above, your ISP/mail service is filtering out our e-mail, by mistake.
What to do? Check your "Junk" (or "Bulk") folder for the automated reply -- your ISP/mail service may have filtered it there. If not, they deleted it without telling you. Please do not be upset with your ISP/mail service. Please do not be upset withus, either because this is not our fault -- we did send the e-mail to theaddress you entered. Be angry with spammers, because this is their fault.Spam is such a enormous problem that all ISPs/mail services filter e-mail nowadays. "False-positives" (filters that drop e-mail by mistake) happen, due to the complexity and the sheer amount of spam they receive. So what to do?All customer-focused ISPs and mail services recognize the problemof false-positives. So they provide you with ways to allow the e-mail thatyou specifically want to pass through the filter. It's kind of like a " manual over-ride of the system," andyour ISP/mail service has most likely provided a simple toolfor you to do it yourself. After all, we sent the mail. You want it. Your ISP's job is to deliver it. So please whitelist our e-mail address(es) to ensure that you can receive all important support, e-zines, post-order, and other e-mail that you request.Click on this link to take the whitelisting steps.>Even if you do receive the automated e-mail reply, it's a great idea to whitelist because filtering software is unstable. What it accepts today, it might reject tomorrow. So please click on the above link to whitelist us.We only ever send you e-mail that you specifically request and expect.
As noted above, you will normally get our e-mail without any problem at all. But just in case you don't, take the whitelisting steps necessary and then please return to the form you just used and re-send it to us.All the best,Your Support TeamP.S. What should you do if you cannot whitelist us?ISPs or mail services who do not whitelist may provide one or more reasons/excuses for their inability to deliver mail that you specifically want...1) Your ISP will not do it. They may make up all kinds of excuses, or even blame us, but the bottom line is that they are not delivering e-mail that YOU want. Period. 2) You can't get their support group to tell you how to whitelist. Either they don't answer you, or they dance around the question, or deflect blame. 3) They don't provide the tools to whitelist, or the tools don't work, or it's simply technically impossible for them to do it. For example, the "safe list" at Hotmail does not work when you want to permit an address through their filter. Their shortcomings have become your problem. Switch.4) Your ISP responds to a whitelist request BY TURNING OFF THE SPAM FILTERSCOMPLETELY. That's like asking someone to put a gate in the high wallaround your house and the reply is... "Sure, we'll just take the ENTIRE walldown." That is an irresponsible and self-focused response to a valid request --it merely turfs the problem back onto the customer, which is an unacceptablereply. Do not accept this poor proposition.No matter what the reason, it all boils down to the same thing. You have an ISP or mail service that is not fulfilling your most basic of EXPECTATIONS. You won't get what you want with an ISP like that. So What To Do??1) Complain... "Deliver My Mail!"Complain by sending an e-mail to addresses that start with"abuse@" and "postmaster@" followed by the domain of your ISP or mail service (ex., ifyou are using an firstname.lastname@example.com, send your complaint email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com). Mail sent tothose addresses has a good chance of being seen. Send itFROM THE ADDRESS YOU USE WITH THAT SERVICE, for emphasis.You might not get a reply, but regardless, it is importantto register a complaint when a company does not deliver theservice that you specifically EXPECT, the delivery of mail.2) Please click upon the BACK button on your browser, enter a different e-mail address, and e-mail your question again. (If you want to use a free, Web-based address, Yahoo! Mail receives our e-mail without any problem.) Hey I'm sorry for this bother but it really is not our fault. We sent the mail. You want the mail.

You Have Color-App'd Your Dog to Find the Right Sofa Color
It may sound like a perfectly practical idea to match the color of your sofa to your pet's fur. Wouldn't that seem like a great way to combat that irritating pet hair that stands out so much on your dark brown sofa? That would be a wonderful use of the awesome color apps available now.

Pink and lavender are lovely choices for decorating a little girl's room.

Your mermaid princess had a sidekick turtle who was a perfect shade of green, so that was your accent color, of course.

Although a bit grainy, and worryingly accompanied by Darth Vader-style 'excited' breathing, the mobile on display is nice looking, and the UI looks very similar to what Android Google has been tempting us with.
The handset has a nice slide-out QWERTY keyboard with an auto-rotating screen when moving into two-hand mode.
Unwieldy droid
However, when it flips the whole thing looks rather unwieldy, although, to be fair, there aren't many ways to subtly incorporate a full keyboard.
If the handset is to debut this year, we would expect the spy-shots to start cropping up round about now, so its appearance out of the shadows makes sense.
Of course, it could just be a fanboy having a bit of fun making a mock-up handset for want of some more constructive hobby, but it certainly looks great.

This is Angela. We have supported her through Life 2 Orphans for five years. I was so touched that someone had supported a caregiver for Sarah and Selah that I offered to start supporting a caregiver for another child and this is the child selected for us. I got to meet her when we were in Ukraine and hold her. It was hard to let her go. We had thought about going back to adopt her and at least one other girl and then the accident happened and our lives changed. We've continued to pray for her and support her. I'd written about her before in the hopes of a family stepping forward but I'm ashamed I didn't push her more. she will age out in February. Her only hope is a family to step forward and get their paperwork in by then. It is not impossible to do but a family is needed.
She has the same sweet gentle spirit Sarah has. She was not walking when we meet her in 2012 but maybe a little now. She has been moved further away from the war zone and is a better situation than she was in. She is mentally delayed, and probably has some vision issues. She needs a family. If you are interested please email me firstname.lastname@example.com
Can I ask you to pray that a family will step forward for her Please feel free to forward this blog everywhere.....
I will commit to help fund raise and I will commit to $1000 towards travel (after a homestudy has been approved and a travel date is set)
Please pray for this precious girl!!!!!!

Thanksgiving 2016
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving!
I love this crockpot I got some years ago. I put all the veggies I was cooking in it. My sis in law made mashed potatoes-they are the best mashed potatoes I have ever eaten!!!
And this little counter oven was priceless this year!
We had a great week with our son home. On Thanksgiving we had some family over and we did have a funny story (of course)
The turkey was quite large-and wouldn't unfreeze despite our best efforts. I have a confess, I absolutely can not "degut" a turkey so I always ask one of our nurses. It's become a joke with them, I can't even watch or I will throw up. there is just something about a turkey that bothers me.... anyhow one of our nurses pulled the bag out despite it being still frozen, she advised us to put it in water for awhile so we did. Then we drained the water and Jon patted it dry ( I just can't handle turkeys. I put it on to cook about midnight at 300 degrees, I got up at 4 am and turned it up to 350. At 8 am I checked it's core temp and it was perfect but there was lots of juices....when I pulled it out the juices spilled all over the floor/rug/oven....and we almost had a fire. Jon grabbed the fire extinguisher and had it ready to go! Thankfully the oven didn't catch on fire and we got it all cleaned up. We had to turn the oven off but thankfully I had a turkey roasting pan that worked fine to finish browning it up. It turned out to be one of the tastiest turkeys ever despite all the work involved! BTW I ALWAYS feed our nurses on the holidays! They are like our family!!!
Sarah had a Thanksgiving shirt on
We did our Christmas decorating this past week
I got this at a thrift store and just love it
Jon's boot! He is a Christmas baby and someone gave his mom flowers when he was born in this book and we've saved it over the years.
Here's some pictures from last Sunday. This shows Selah moving her head and shoulders on her own. the pictures crack me up as she seems to be very tired of being by Sam. I had dressed Sam and Sarah but I didn't even see Selah until we got to church as we take two vehicles. I just laughed because they were all in peachy/pink color-totally unplanned! Selah had a new outfit on that her nurse bought her. It was so cute.
She works hard on head control and I'm so proud of her
Last night I used up the last of the giant Turkey by making a turkey and rice dish-it was so good so I guess that Thanksgiving 2016 is over for us but I am still a grateful person for all the folks in my life. This year started out quite rocky for me having to have the lumpectomy.... then Jon's surprise heart attack and emergency open heart surgery...... But we're still here and we are still standing! Thank God!

Picture Day & a Shad Surprise!
Just some random pictures
This is Sarah's way to tell us to PRAY with her at night! It's so sweet. As you can see I have her big girl bed on the floor so she can't roll off and hurt herself.
(i had a essential oils diffuser on for her as she had a cold.)
And Daddy prays with her
"Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
The angels watch me through the night
And keep me in their blessed sight AMEN!"
then we pray for all our family by name, our nurses and Steve's friends
Sarah often lifts her hand up again and again for prayer LOL it's so sweet
It's finally cool enough to be outside on the trampoline. Sam likes being bounced.
Then we had Steve's 21st Birthday party! How is it possible that he is that old?
Jon and his brother on the patio with Vermont our cat.
Then we went to Tallahassee for a conference of Jon's. During our time there I got to see some friends and one friend gave me this picture she had found of me taken on my 18th birthday ! LOL
This was the view from our hotel room-that's the state capital.
Shad and I took the kids for a tour of the old and new state capital.
We stopped by the governor's office:)
the view from the observation deck
We were by a Krispy Kreme
After Jon was finished with his conference we headed off to the St Mark's Lighthouse.
I loved going there as a child. It's very much the "real Florida"
We then stopped in Perry my hometown to eat at one of it's famous restaurants. Let me just say the grilled chicken and fried okra was amazing!!!!
On our way home we stopped at my family's grave yard. All my folks are buried there. It's located in Dixie County and goes back to the 1800's. My great great grandparents are buried there.....and on down the line. I try to stop when we are up that way and do a walk through every chance I get. Lots of good people buried there, lots of folks that I love dearly. It's way out in the woods in an area that used to be a small community at the turn of the 19th century. Family members still live out there and farm.
Some scenes from our park where we go walking.
The way these trees are planted remind me of Ukraine.
Shad loves to go target practicing. We are members of a shooting club and like the safety features of having trained supervision.
Shad is a great shot. He has shot more different kinds of guns and rifles than I ever have!!!
Here I am- I should have taken a picture of my target-I did really good even though the target was set at 20 feet.
the road home.....
We ordered these arm guards a few months ago because Sam has a bad habit of biting his arm/hands if he is upset. We didn't start using them then, as we were able to work with him and bring the level of self harm down. But he's back doing it again and I thought I'd try them and he's doing really good with them. He wears them all day long with no complaining and it keeps him from biting himself. Sam does things in a circular way-what i mean is for example he will bite his arms/fingers and then we are able to work with him and he'll quit or do it alot less....then something upsets him one day and he starts back and can't stop without intervention. We are hoping this will be a way to stop him for good. Often i can pin point what causes the behavior to start and even if that is removed or changed, then he can't stop his behavior. He had a very hard time with a friend who came to visit more than a month ago and had not been able to calm down since. Also Steve's birthday party didn't help. Sam does NOT like people in HIS house! It's funny he can go anywhere and not mind people....but let them come in his house....... this past summer Steve had a college friend over for a day and Sam got really upset. That's when I ordered the arm guards but he calmed down with alot of help until my friend came..... Sam has his RULES! And he doesn't like his rules broken. We are working on coping skills!!!
Shad got his new eye. I had to tell him not to smile so you all could see it otherwise his face just crinkles up into laugh lines and you wouldn't be able to tell. It looks fantastic and he is doing great with taking care of the shell himself. He was fascinated by the whole process of watching it being made. He had a really good experience and we think it will give him even more confidence (does he really need it?????) It moves-it's something else!!! I had no idea how real it would look.
Wow we covered alot in this blog. Hope you enjoyed it.

Subscribe To Craig Gillespie May Be The Next Guy To Try Out Pride And Prejudice And Zombies Updates
I've already subscribed
It's poetic justice that a movie titled Pride and Prejudice and Zombies would have to die and be resurrected a couple times before being able to get moving. In the year-plus that the project has existed, we've watched both David O. Russell and Mike White attach themselves at the helm before dropping it due to scheduling issues. So who's ready for round three?
Vulture is reporting from an unnamed source that Craig Gillespie, director of Lars and the Real Girl, has entered talks with Lionsgate to direct the adaptation of the Seth Grahame-Smith novel. The script, which was written by Grahame-Smith, has been the subject of much praise and, in addition to Russell and White, the project has previously captured the interest of Matt Reeves, Jonathan Demme, and the team of Phil Lord and Chris Miller. For those curious about Gillespie's horror credentials, his next film, a remake of the 1985 film Fright Night, will arrive in theaters this August.
While Gillespie is a more than capable director, the pessimist part of me is just waiting for him to sign on, start planning things out and then announce that he will be unavailable to make the film. As excited as I may be by the prospect of a period piece zombie movie, I'm patiently waiting for someone to take a 12 gauge shotgun and blow a hole through its skull.

Oct 9, 2012 – Yinka Ayefele's N200 Million Event Center / Music House To Be Demolished In Ibadan, Oyo State
The 200 Million Naira event center building in Ibadan belonging to popular gospel artiste, Yinka Ayefele has been marked for demolition by Oyo State Government. naijagists.com
The building tagged Yinka Ayefele music house is a popular event center in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.
This move trails Oyo state's plan to expand a road infront of Yinka Ayefele's building which links to popular Lagos Ibadan Expressway.
According to the music star's spokesperson, he was not given any prior notice about he demolition. He claimed Yinka Ayefele got the shocking notice on coming back from an event on Sunday.
Yinka Ayefele's event center is an ultra-modern building that houses a studio, 2 modern event centers, an internet radio station and several offices.
The event center has employed over 100 staffs.
If Ayefele has a seal of ownership, he will be duely compensated by the Government.

Research Interests:
Despite their functional roles in RNA post transcription modification, many RNA binding proteins with disordered domains are associated with neurodegenerative diseases because they form pathological aggregates. We have found that the polglutamine tract in an RNA binding protein called Whi3 works together with the RNA-bind motif to perform a biological function. PolyQ works by helping Whi3 form aggregates in the multinucleate fungus Ashbya gossypii. Heterogeneously localized Whi3 aggregates, bound to cyclin transcripts, result in transcript clustering around nuclei and therefore create cytoplasm compartmentalization that allows nuclear division autonomy in a common cytoplasm. This leads to the hypothesis that polyQ tracts in RNA binding proteins have important biological function involving physiological aggregation, yet under other circumstances have the ability to form pathological aggregates like those observed in polyQ diseases. My research focus is to use Whi3 as a model protein to study the assembly mechanism of physiological RNA-protein complexes and their phase transition into pathological aggregates.

Research Interests:
Progression through the cell cycle is known to be regulated by cytoplasmic factors, yet there are examples of nuclei cohabitating in a common cytoplasm and maintaining cell cycle autonomy. This is the case in the multinucleate filamentous fungus Ashbya gossypii, in which nuclei only a few microns from each other in the same cytoplasm divide independently. Asynchronous mitosis in the syncytium requires highly regulated microtubule dynamics and non-random nuclear spacing, as well as nuclear-autonomous transcriptional activity for cell cycle regulators. We are using this system to gain a better understanding of cytoplasmic organization and its influence on transcriptional regulation and cell cycle progression.

Research Interests:
Dynamic transitions between soluble and assembled states lend cytoskeletal polymers many of their functional properties, from force generation and motility to contraction and scaffolding. Septins are far less understood than other cytoskeletal elements such as actin and microtubules, yet they have a conserved function acting as scaffolds at cell membranes and are implicated in cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, and microbial pathogenesis. We have defined a key role of the plasma membrane in directing septin filament formation in live cells and reconstituted dynamic septin polymerization using purified septin and lipid components. We find that septins grow into filaments and form higher order structures by diffusing, colliding and annealing on the plasma membrane. Currently, I am interested in membrane properties that direct septin filament formation, how septin interacting proteins regulate their assembly and structure, and how alternate septin subunits influence higher-order structure and function.

Research Interests:Septins are the fourth cytoskeletal element. These are filament-forming proteins involved in cytokinesis and other cellular processes. Similar to actin (ATP) and microtubules (GTP) septins can bind GTP and hydrolyze it. One of the unsettled questions in septin literature is the role of this GTP binding and hydrolysis for their function. While all the septins have a central conserved domain with the potential to bind GTP only a subset of them have the ability to hydrolyze it. I use biochemical and microscopy approaches to understand how GTP binding and hydrolysis might be playing a role in septin filament formation, recruitment and function.

Research Interests:Many cell structures are on the scale of microns, but must be built from the nanometer scale protein building blocks. It has been challenging to study how cells address these scaling problems. One group of proteins whose assembled structure has eluded researchers is the septins. Polarization microscopy is a technique that can be used to assess the structural order of cellular components using linearly polarized light. The questions pertaining to septin assembly that I am able to address through polarization microscopy are as follows: a) what regulated higher order structure formation of septins; b) how the organization of septins in higher order structures changes in the cell cycle; and c) how septin filaments are oriented relative to the membrane.

This membrane region first develops in the tri- laminar embryo (week 3) during gastrulation. The "membrane" quality comes from being composed of only ectoderm and endoderm, without a middle layer of mesoderm.

The Grey really isn't for people looking for a simple action/survival movie. It will almost certainly leave those people with a knot in their stomach. The movie instead is a much more introspective, emotional handle on the same thing. At times its incredibly visceral and intense, and at other times its quiet and poetic. If you're not ready for a strong emotional ride that will drag you through the trenches, then don't bother. Because odds are you won't be able to appreciate this amazing movie.
As you probably gathered from the trailers, a bunch of guys survive a plane crash and must brave artic weather and a pack of vicious monster-like wolves in order to survive. Theres a scene very early in the movie that sets the entire tone and defines Neeson's character, John Ottway. I won't spoil it, but its very sad yet strangely calm. You don't see many scenes like this in movies. It was a very stunning scene and very unique as well. I knew right away where this movie was going and that I was going to love it.
The atmosphere of the movie is very matter-of-factly. Its not styled like a big budget action movie with survival elements, despite being marketed that way. The only think setting it apart from entering that almost documentary shot style is the handheld camera and such. It doesn't feel like we're looking at actors on a movie set, these men genuinely look tired, scared, and on edge. After so many movies that have tried to do the same thing, I'd become desensitized to feeling the impact. Almost all of them have predictable endings. You can tell by halfway in whether its going to be...
A: Everyone survives - Happy go lucky ending
B: Everyone dies - Horribly pessimistic, yet probably most realistic
C: The two handsome lead actors survive but for some reason end up fighting each other in the end.
Its predictable... and boring. Some may consider this a spoiler alert, but I knew vaguely the same thing before I saw it and if anything I adjusted my expectation of the movie accordingly. Which was the best thing that could've happened since I was expecting a big action vehicle.
The ending is practically ambiguous. Its about the push forward, the will to survive, 'the last good fight' as it were. Not about the rescue helicopter swooping in at the perfect moment and saving the day. Do -not- expect that. Its not going to happen.
This movie is an experience. Its not casual viewing. Not for me at least, its emotionally gripping. Something to think about after the end credits role. Its thought provoking for sure. Maybe not on a surface intellectual level, but on a deeper emotional level. Maybe I'm just reading into it, and maybe I'm not. But this, for me, is the foremost ideal life, death, and survival movie of the last decade. And I seem to stumble across most. The acting is completely convincing, I was immediately drawn in, and totally hooked. The score excellently compliments the acting and the story, infiltrating scenes subtly and augmenting the actors' great performances, heightening the emotions on display.
The Grey deserves a watch. Its incredibly well made. For those who are interested, and the ending is resolute enough for you, stay after the credits. But I could've easily done without that because the ending is amazingly powerful in its own right. Great flick.

Dump Truck Accident - $910,000.00
Jurisdiction: Superior Court of Forsyth County
Liability Facts: On Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at approximately 8:45 a.m., our client, the Plaintiff, was driving a 2001 Ford "Expedition" automobile with her eight (8) month old son seated in an infant car seat in the second row of the vehicle behind the drivers seat, traveling southbound on Highway 5 near its intersection with the Highway 372 Connector in Cherokee County, Georgia. The vehicle being operated by the Plaintiff was being driven by her in a cautious, careful and prudent manner.
At the same place and time, the Defendant (party at fault) driving a 1999 Chevrolet "C6500" commercial dump truck, was attempting to make a left hand turn from northbound Highway 5 onto the Highway 372 Connector, when suddenly and without any warning, he failed to observe the then existing traffic conditions when he failed to yield the right of way to the Plaintiff's vehicle, therefore, the Defendant's vehicle forcefully struck the Plaintiff's vehicle. The violent force of this T-bone crash caused our client's vehicle to flip over onto its passenger side trapping the Plaintiff inside the vehicle. The violent force of this impact caused the Plaintiffs, both the mother and the child, to be violently thrown about the interior of their vehicle wherein their bodies were thrown with such force that the impact caused them to sustain immediate visible and permanent physical injuries in addition to psychological injuries. The mother was air-lifted and transported by life flight from the collision scene to the hospital for her life threatening injuries.
The law offices of Falanga and Chalker alleged that the Defendant dump truck driver, just prior to and at the time of the collision, was negligent in one or more of the following ways: (a) In operating his commercial dump truck in a careless, reckless and unsafe manner; b) In failing to keep a proper lookout; c) In operating his commercial dump truck in a wilful and wanton manner; d) In operating his
commercial dump truck in a total disregard for the safety of himself and other vehicles around him; e) In failing to keep his commercial dump truck under control;
f) In operating his commercial dump truck in such a manner as to constitute negligence per se; g) In operating his commercial dump truck with a total disregard for the consequences of his actions; h) In negligently operating his commercial dump truck by failing to yield the right of way at an intersection in violation of O.C.G.A. § 40-6-70; i) In negligently operating his commercial dump truck by driving the vehicle with a reckless disregard for the safety of persons or property in violation of O.C.G.A. section 40-6-390; and, j) In failing to observe the uniform rules of the road.
Injuries: Child was checked out and released with little or no injuries. Mother was air flighted to the hospital from the automobile accident scene. At the hospital, x-rays and CT scans revealed the following results:
- CT Scan of the Head
This study revealed soft tissue swelling and a hematoma (a swelling or collection of blood in a confined space within an organ or tissue, usually caused by broken blood vessels) overlying the left frontal scalp and the left periorbital region. Several densities were noted in the left high periorbital region which were perceived to be foreign bodies.
- CT Scan of the Face
This study revealed left periorbital soft tissue swelling and scattered ethmoid air cell opacification (small, irregularly shaped spaces in the ethmoid bone, which is situated in the skull between the two eye sockets, at the roof of the nose).
- CT Scan of the Abdomen
This study revealed a laceration of the anterior spleen along with blood surrounding the spleen and fluid around the inferior lobe of the liver.
- Left Femur X-rays
These x-rays revealed a comminuted midshaft fracture of the left femur (the bone of the thigh which extends from the pelvis to the knee) with medial angulation of the fracture apex.
- Right Elbow X-rays
These x-rays revealed a comminuted intra-articular fracture of the distal humerus (the bone of the upper arm, which extends from the elbow to the shoulder) involving the condylar and epicondylar surfaces.
- Further studies revealed a medial dislocation of the radius (the shorter of the two bones which forms the forearm, located on the thumb side of the wrist) and dislocation of the ulna (the longer of the two bones of the forearm located on the same side as the little finger).
Our client sustained severe immediate, visible injuries to numerous areas of her body, not to be limited to, but to include neck aches, back aches, shoulder aches, arm aches, knee aches, muscle strain, headaches, and numbness and weakness throughout numerous areas of her body, all causing great limitation of movement, pain and suffering. Additionally, Plaintiff was hospitalized numerous times and had undergone numerous surgical procedures for her extensive life threatening injuries.
Medicals: $235,000.00
Lost wages/earnings: $20,000.00.
Attorney: Robert A. Falanga

Dallas — A young woman walks between a double row of folding chairs facing each other at Deep Vellum Books, as the audience of 16 people and a dog watch the opening moments of House Party Theatre's mirror: as it were the moon, directed by Sarah Lacy Hamilton.
Dressed in back jeans and T-shirt, she lays down at the store's closed entrance door for a few moments, eyes closed and breathing lightly. Then she rises, opens her eyes and asks in a dazed voice, "Where am I? How did I get here?"
The character, played with mix of touching anxiety and comic curiosity by Dallas singer and performer Sammy Rat Rios, "got there" via the play written by Stephen Gardner, a local playwright and Southern Methodist University alum.
The conceit of the 70-minute play is that the character is questioning the playwright—or whatever muse guides him—about the reason for her existence. Not a new idea in prose, poetry or drama, the notion that characters address their maker is akin to religious people speaking to their creator.
Right away, the young woman figures out she is in a play, as in "all the world's a stage." She waxes on and on about how hard her life is, and how difficult she finds it to get her bearings.
She wrangles with whether to stay in the game. "I can find a million ways to die. I can't think of a single way to live. I think about killing myself every day." This desperate tone rises and falls so many times, it loses force. The character is just talking, after all.
Rios is fun to watch. Slat thin, her red hair floating around her sharply angled face and large, expressive eyes, she is a compelling presence. She walks up and down between the chairs, asking questions about her "sociological, technical, binary existence." From time to time, she asks an audience member to "borrow" the small mirror placed in each seat before the show. "The mirror is an object of the mind," she declaims, and goes on in a pseudo-poetic discourse about what is the reflection, and what is the reality of the image she stares at.
The script is most fun when it allows the character to stop rattling off clichés about the nature of how we distinguish between truth and untruth, and allows her to complain about everyday things. In the midst of a discourse on such esoteric, Rios suddenly stops. She makes eye contact with an audience member, shrugs helplessly and declares, "I care about things like pantry space."
When the secondary character, a female yogi played with humorless calm by Lx Werle, appears to utter some Zen maxims, like "Truth rests between the things we call truth," Rios looks perplexed. "I can't pay the bills with this," she says. Later, she looks hard at the Zen master, sitting mutely and making origami swans. "I don't have time for all this mystic shit; I've been in theater all my life," she says, in a rare ironic moment during a mostly hand-wringing, woe-is-me evening.
The show ends much as it began, with the confounded, spent young woman wondering how she got there. She got to the end of the show. That alone proves Rios is a real trooper and a talent to watch—and Deep Velum Books is a clean and well-lighted venue for such performances.

A South Florida graduate student is getting a helping hand, thanks to a fellow classmate and some innovative technology.
Chad Coarsey was born without a left hand — but after a little ingenuity with a 3-D printer, he now has one.
Like many other 25 year olds, Coarsey loves to stay active and play sports.
"As I was wrestling in high school I got kind of the nickname, 'The Nub,'" said the Florida Atlantic University graduate student. "It's a big part of my personality, so it's a big part of how people identify who I am," Coarsey said.
Although his parents had offered to buy him a prosthesis many times, Coarsey was okay without one. Then he met his classmate and fellow graduate student, Charles Weinthal.
"I noticed he didn't have a hand," said Weinthal. "So I asked him, 'Chad would you like a hand?' And he looked at me for a moment and just smiled brightly and said 'Yes, I would,'" said Weinthal.
So why now?
"Well probably my curiosity and openness to science and seeing what I can actually make," Coarsey said.
The collaboration for their FAU class project then quickly began. They used FAU High School's high-tech lab and a 3-D printer to make Coarsey's hand.
Here's how 3-D printing works: Guided by a computer model, a plastic filament melts to create the object layer by layer. The 3-D printed prosthetic hand takes less than 24 hours to print.
"This device costs less than $100 to make," Weinthal said.
"When I put it on and started grabbing things and picking up things... for me it was just very surreal," Coarsey said.
It's no surprise these two passed their intro to bioengineering class with flying colors. The next step for "the Hulk hand," as Coarsey jokingly calls it, is for the plastic fingers to move individually.
"I can get another hand and be up to par... but why not push it further and get a hand that's better than what two handed people can do?"
Since this prosthesis has made a difference in Coarsey's life, both men now plan to give a hand to hundreds of amputees in need. They hope this quick and affordable alternative can extend far beyond the walls of their lab.
"It's important that everyone has a hand and that's part of giving. Because you give and get," Weinthal said.
"Despite having a limitation... if there's the motivation you can overcome it yourself," added Coarsey.
The students don't intend on making a business out of the creation. At this time, a foundation is in the works so that they can help thousands of people who may be in need of 3-D printed prosthetics.

She's caused a social media storm once again thanks to her full frontal display on Monday night's Celebrity Big Brother but Marnie Simpson's mam says she's not worried about her daughter's behaviour on the show.
Geordie Shore star Marnie hasn't been far from the headlines since entering the famous TV house nearly two weeks ago after flashing Saira Khan, clashing with Aubrey O'Day and Heavy D and getting close to ex TOWIE star Lewis Bloor.
The two heated things up on Monday night, sharing a shower together before Marnie emerged completely naked, prompting some viewers of the Channel 5 series to brand her "trashy".
But her mam Sharra Kyle, says she'll always have her backing.
Speaking to OK Magazine, Sharra said: "I've seen her having sex on Geordie Shore and all I can do is be there for her and support her. I'm her biggest fan and I love her unconditionally."
Over the past few weeks, viewers have also seen Marnie flirt with Anthea Turner's ex Grant Bovey and Vicky Pattison's ex Stephen Bear say he could kiss her if he wanted to.
But Sharra says she thinks Marnie is only interested in Lewis and gives the relationship her blessing, adding: "I think she only has eyes for Lewis! Lewis seems like a real gentleman, he's the sort of man I'd like Marnie to be with."

Wait...what? Who
this was a typical, bunch of rejects and the one guy who is a pro and knows what he is doing has to bail their asses out. And of course they turn on him because they are assed up reject evil dumb ass crooks. Kind of a suicide squad feel the two tentacle head could double as the terror twins, the big heavy, the logistics guy, robot, and the pseudo leader, and mado is batman type. But this could even go as an A tean, or any number of other movies and shows they do this kind of temp team. Great over all loved it as always.
An opinion is an opinion/slating them....................amateur trolling..........................Whitei
s an episode is am episode/Timing them……..amatuer hour……Radi
Anyone have Short Treks: The Girl Who Made the Stars and Ephraim and Dot? Please upload.
It took 6 tries but I finally got my wish for a proper sized episode, lets hope it becomes the norm. Did anyone else spot Maurice from The It Crowd in this great episode?.
Ok? So were those locust like bug things at the end, what attacked and crashed the ship that was destroyed? I think i need to rewatch the previous season, because the last season put me to sleep with the monotone voices and humdrum lulling drag, and i forgot the political dramas between the factions. As well as missing nearly everything in this episode from being distracted. Or its back to playing shoot bubble on my phone.
lol i know 3 months late...hahaha
I am not impressed with this season 3 premier episode. In response to SonOfWoody99 Animal Kingdom, Outpost and Pennyworth I am really looking forward to.
Two of the great mysteries left unanswered. There was one point that the doctor who Mando took the yoda species baby called it a "her", just once, from then on, it was referred to as he. I watched and re-watched this a dozen times... Next is Mando was telling his story, with a flashback to his childhood where he was tucked away during a war and kept safe until as he said, "They saved me". referring to the mandolorians. So is he really a mandolorian? or was he just raised by them? I think maybe we will never really know...
spoiler... Mando got his money. Job done and didn't kill anyone, except droids. X-wings made their debut in the show. I didn't much care for the personalities they gave to the alien race that double crossed everyone, but it was a great episode as have been all of them. We got 40 minutes this time instead of 30, so that was good. I am starting to get attached to this lil critter even though i told myself I would not. I also think Mando is starting to be a hero i can get behind as the baddest badass in the universe. After all he doesn't need superpowers or the force, he is pure badass, with some badass james bond type gadgets and sick armor.
Fantastic episode!
Longer episode woohoo....
Uuuuh! Didn´t see this coming! Good twist!
DrControversial, CEO of Amazon Jeff Bezos is a fan of the show so they got the rights to continue it.
Wait I thought this show was canceled?
well i am here to post a review about the show, and i love the fight Santa kicked Krampus butt
FUCK FUCK FUCK gotta wait again still nothing about the empty death or jack god this is the best season yet
It amazes me how a show can be so funny and sad almost at the same time.
that was great, the idiot offed him self, awesome
Loved this show, shame we didn't hear more of his amazing piano skills but I guess he is branching out! Obvs I know him through his music but had no idea he acted as well, the girl was a fantastic actress too.
Lost the battlle war is yet to commence
Bjorn got owned...
Will Wheaton in the first minutes already cracked me up! these crossovers are just fun and kind of why I watch every show lol
i love her cute lil car
Now that is good tv drama. The dude is seeing some hard times, just like a real musician. This was a great episode. I really hope they do more seasons. (Tho "mini-series", kinda suggests otherwise).
wait what? At what point in this story did Joy not come back? In the water, or in castle rock? Did she get drowned, or was that her Mom's imagination too? Did Joy ever return from the ritual in castle rock? Just what actually happened here? I like a good twist but this one is such a twisted twist im all twisted up about it
such toxic much h8 its adorable

The vast expansion of Medicaid in the 2010 healthcare reform law put Washington on a collision course with cash-strapped state governments, which have been scrambling to reduce the cost of the joint federal-state insurance program for the poor and disabled. That conflict reaches the Supreme Court on Wednesday, when lawyers for 24 states will seek to bar Congress from adding millions of Americans to the program's rolls. Meanwhile, the House is considering a Republican budget proposal that would cap Medicaid spending and hand over control to the states. Neither approach, however, would solve the program's budget problems, which mirror those faced by the entire healthcare system.
To help reduce the number of uninsured Americans, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act expanded Medicaid to include legal residents with incomes up to 33% above the federal poverty line. Although Washington will pick up at least 90% of the cost of the new enrollees, the expansion will still cost states tens of millions of dollars annually. The states' lawsuit against the act contends that they are being coerced to do something that Congress doesn't have the power to order them to do. Yet the law didn't create any new hurdles to states dropping out of the program and providing for the poor and disabled on their own. The fact that they don't want to is testament to how good a deal Medicaid remains for states, even with the expanded eligibility.
The House GOP's latest budget proposal offers an alternate approach: giving states Medicaid dollars as block grants, with much more freedom to set their own rules. The amount of aid to states, however, would rise only as fast as inflation and population growth, regardless of healthcare inflation or the poverty rate. That's much less than the program's current growth rate.
The new formula might solve Washington's budget problems, but not the states'. And capping aid without regard to the number of people in poverty would make it that much harder for states to make ends meet during recessions, when the growing ranks of the poor drive up Medicaid costs.
Granted, the program creates a perverse incentive for states to expand Medicaid in order to collect more federal matching dollars. And states need more freedom to innovate, although that doesn't require Congress to hand them a blank check. Ultimately, the challenges are the same as in the rest of the healthcare system: A small percentage of the beneficiaries rack up most of the bills. That means states must continue to search for ways to deliver care more efficiently, and to save money through higher quality, better coordinated care. Those are the goals of the Affordable Care Act, which is part of the solution, not the problem.
