The East Antarctic Ice Sheet is hiding a very, very big secret.
Geologists studying satellite imagery of the remote Princess Elizabeth Land in East Antarctica, one of the largest unsurveyed land surfaces on Earth, have discovered evidence of a massive subglacial canyon system buried beneath the ice.
Tipped off by the physical hints, the team of researchers utilized radio-echo sounding to pull back the white curtain and peer through the ice. What they found is an absolute monstrosity of geology, a canyon system believed to be more than 685 miles long and as much as 0.6 mile deep. In some places, the measurements failed simply because they were too deep to be recorded. And there's more:
"Linked to the canyons, a large subglacial lake may exist that may be the last remaining large (more then 62 miles in length) subglacial lake to be discovered in Antarctica," the authors write in a paper published in Geology. It's estimated that this subglacial lake alone may cover as much as 480 square miles.
The geologists believe the canyon system was likely carved out by water. Because it's so ancient, however, it's not clear if it formed before or after it was entombed in ice.
"Discovering a gigantic new chasm that dwarfs the Grand Canyon is a tantalising prospect," study co-author Professor Martin Siegert from the Grantham Institute at Imperial College London told IANS. "Our international collaboration of U.S., U.K., Indian, Australian and Chinese scientists are pushing back the frontiers of discovery on Antarctica like nowhere else on Earth."
Should the initial study's results be verified, the Princess Elizabeth canyon system will take the title of largest ever discovered, dwarfing the Grand Canyon (277 miles) and stealing the crown from Greenland's Grand Canyon (460 miles), itself buried under thick ice. A more comprehensive radio-echo sounding analysis of the remote region is expected to be completed later this year.

We are a one of the most stylish office reforms companies in barcelona that starts every project with a creative coffee…
We are a renovation company far different from all the rest. We believe that you, the people, are the most important thing in any kind of renovation. That is why, in Prodeca Barcelona, the first thing we do is sit down and have a chat. office reforms companies in barcelona
We create life projects
As an office reforms companies in barcelona, we act rather than as a business, as the team of people that we are. We put ourselves in your shoes breathing in your workplace or your living space, living the incidences and the problems of an obsolete space which affect your daily life as if they were our own experiences.
office reforms companies in barcelona
We want to understand the client as much as possible; we want to know the problems that your space creates in your life and your work. We performed a usability analysis in order to identify needs focusing satisfy all the project.
Whether you are part of a company or an individual, there will be people living or working in that space.
We are one of the few renovation companies in Barcelona which conducts asurvey of the space to the people who are going to live in it, according to their lifestyle or working style.
office reforms companies in barcelona
At the same time, it is vital to conduct a diagnosis that defines the current situation of the space, whether it is an office, a commercial premise, a restaurant, an industrial plant, a house or an apartment, in order to detect the weak points or those which must be improved, and to set out the specific project aiming at the goals to achieve.
1. Usability Analysis of the space
We make a usability analysis in order to detect the needs and focus the entire project to cover them. In Prodeca Barcelona, as a renovation company in Barcelona that we are, we make a thorough analysis of the space to point out the strengths and weaknesses of the space and focus the project in order to improve them. office reforms companies in barcelona.
Knowing the lifestyle of those who will work or live in the space is essential for us. This ensures the creation of an appropriate project living up to the expectations.
2. Design of the space
After a phase of analysing and brainstorming with the customer, we make a design suggestion of the space. We design the plans with details on the distribution and installation of services such as electricity, voice and data, lighting, air conditioning and air regeneration.
We take special interest in restoration of light, which is usually a generalised problem in obsolete spaces where constructions do not have enough light-exit spots. We are also interested in air renewal, especially in closed workplaces which is normally where there is a higher level of pollution.
3. Material selection
We propose materials according to costs, trends, functionality, efficiency and aesthetics criteria. On a second revision of the basic distribution design plan, we focus on the management of light and air.
When we get to this stage, when our design gets the client approval, we know we are on the right track. Then we make a selection of materials, often accompanied by a texturized 3D plan.
When it comes to the material selection, this renovation company in Barcelona is concerned about style, but also about costs, efficiency and functionality.
In Prodeca Barcelona we take particular emphasis in the selection of healthy materials backing and strengthening the management of light and air renewal.
4. Budget of the project
We have the best knowledge in the segment with great diversity of suppliers, which makes us very competitive.
5. License Management
We all know how important it is to manage construction licences properly. As a renovation company in Barcelona we take into consideration the space, its use and the necessary licences for the achievement of the works.
We are very familiar with managing all the paperwork in any construction work in Barcelona or in any other city. That is why we want you not to worry about that.
6. Execution of the project
It is time to make your dream come true, to make the approved design come to life. We are extremely loyal to the previous design in all our projects. In some of these… you would not notice the difference between the plan and the real space! That is because we have a great, highly qualified team of professionals with a wide experience who work accurately.
However, we all know that in a construction work there can always be surprises, unexpected things you find out along the way and need to be solved on the go in order to reach the planned date for delivery without drowning.
We are a renovation company in Barcelona who are very self-demanding with our scheduling, that is why every day we search for solutions to fulfil the agreed timings.
In Prodeca Barcelona we make way for improvisation offering solutions to the potential incidences without it affecting neither the budget nor the expectations.
7. Construction Management
The construction management is just everything. Being with the building engineers, technicians and the workers… Giving them guidance when necessary, providing solutions and supporting them on a daily basis. We like to be at the construction site, we have been born for it. We can foresee problems. That is why professionals feel so at ease working with us.
We manage the work in situ in order to adjust to the timing and commitments of project.
8. Post-Project Evaluation
A renovation work process of a space has quite a few points which must be taken into account, so we recommend you to leave this in the hands of professionals who have both experience and references. Most renovation companies in Barcelona turn away once the work is finished, ending up all kind of professional relationship they once had. This is not our case.
In Prodeca Barcelona, once the renovation work is finished we look out for the maintenance of goals of the finished project. We continue appreciating those aspects such as the added value in terms of usability, effectiveness and efficiency of our projects once the work is finished.
In addition, we provide infrastructure maintenance and cleaning tips to keep the space as healthy as we have left it.

The Vision range is available in models from 800 VA to 2000 VA with sinusoidal digital technology. The Riello Vision Tower, with its advanced communications and connectivity options, is the ideal solution for installations requiring superior protection and versatility in the power supply system. Vision is the ideal solution for the protection of peripheral network devices, servers, and network backup systems.
The Vision range uses Line Interactive technology and provides a sinusoidal output. This technology provides efficiency levels of 98% and therefore reduced energy consumption. It also ensures a high level of
protection against mains power disturbances. The automatic voltage regulator (AVR) provides protection from surges, overvoltages and undervoltages, without battery intervention. Reduced battery usage ensures that the battery set is 100% available for mains power supply failures and is able to provide greater autonomy. EMI filters then provide further protection from voltage surges and transients.
When the mains power supply fails, the load is powered by the inverter and receives a perfectly sinusoidal supply for maximum power continuity and reliability.

Vienna, 11.10.2017 : Schelling: "Supervisory boards of Finance Ministry associates consist mainly of women" Austrian Finance Minister meets supervisory-board members of BMF-associated companies
"With effect from October, we are increasing the quota of women on the supervisory boards of the Finance Ministry's associated companies to at least 50%," declared Finance Minister Hans Jörg Schelling at a reception of supervisory-board members in Johannesgasse at the beginning of this week. "We have decided in favour of doing more than just fulfilling the quota of women," stressed Schelling. "We have just assigned women to 14 new supervisory-board positions. Where the Finance Ministry is in a position to make appointments to the supervisory board, we are significantly exceeding the statutory quota of 30%. Our own quota as regards female appointments is approximately 58%," affirmed Schelling, gratified at the numerous highly-qualified top women in executive posts.
Thirty-three of the fifty-seven representatives from the Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) within the Ministry's associated companies are now women; this includes the Buchhaltungsagentur des Bundes (federal accounting agency), Bundesbeschaffung GmbH (in charge of procurement), der Bundesrechenzentrum GmbH (responsible for data processing) and the Österreichische Bundesfinanzierungsagentur (Austrian Federal Financing Agency). Both external female candidates, and female executives within the Finance Ministry, are nominated or assigned to posts.
According to the Act on Gender Balance of Women and Men on Supervisory Boards (Gleichstellungsgesetz von Frauen und Männern im Aufsichtsrat (GFMA-G)) of June 2017, with effect from 1 January 2018, stock-market-listed companies and companies with over 1,000 employees are obliged to implement a quota of at least 30% of each gender on their supervisory board. In addition, back in March 2011, the Austrian federal government undertook through a decision of the Council of Ministers to increase to 35% the quota of women on supervisory boards within the federal-government allocation to associated companies with majority government holdings by 31 December 2018.
"The pool from which we are able to select female candidates for positions to be filled is still not large enough. It remains the case that there is a greater number of men assuming managerial responsibility. We need to work on this. In the meantime, I consider statutory quotas to be entirely logical. They generate the necessary pressure which is clearly still needed," explained Schelling in conclusion.

Taiwan stocks yesterday posted the biggest gain in more than 2 years, driving the benchmark index up by the most in Asia, after the government said it would let its National Stabilization Fund buy equities to support domestic markets.
Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) climbed more than 4 percent, pacing gains by the nation's largest companies. Cathay Financial Holding Co (國泰金控) surged 7 percent after the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) said it would let Chinese banks buy stakes in local banks and financial holding companies starting on Jan. 2.
"Stocks with high cash yields or low price-to-earnings ratios would be the major beneficiaries" from stabilization fund purchases, Tu Jin-lung (杜金龍), chairman at Taipei-based Grand Cathay Investment Services Corp (大華投顧), said by telephone. "News that the government will allow Chinese banks to buy stakes in local counterparts fueled interest in potential investment targets."
The TAIEX rose 4.6 percent to 6,966.48 at the close, the biggest gain since May 2009. The government is taking action to curb a slump that has dragged the stock gauge down by 22 percent this year. The index is set for its biggest annual decline since 2008, the year the credit crisis intensified and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc collapsed.
Hon Hai, the world's largest contract manufacturer of electronics, advanced 5.8 percent to NT$82.5, while TSMC, the world's largest contract manufacturer of chips, rose 4.4 percent to NT$76. The stock trades at 14.8 times estimated earnings, compared with a four-year average of 16.2.
The government will let its fund buy stocks when necessary, Vice Premier Sean Chen (陳?) said in a statement on Tuesday.
Economic and stock fundamentals remain sound, he said.
The NT$500 billion (US$16.5 billion) stabilization fund was created to help protect Taiwan's markets from "significant occurrences at home and abroad," according to the finance ministry's Web site.
The government bought stocks on Aug. 8 and Aug. 9 through four funds it controls to stem a six-day slump.
Philip Yang (楊永明), a Cabinet spokesman, declined at the time to comment on whether the government had used the National Stabilization Fund.
Cathay Financial surged 7 percent to NT$29.95, the biggest jump since Oct. 31, 2008. Fubon Financial Holding Co (富邦金控) soared 7 percent to NT$29.95, the largest rally since May 6, 2009.
The Taiwan Stock Exchange's Financial and Insurance Industry Index advanced 6.7 percent, the most since May 4, 2009.
A single Chinese investor can take up to a 5 percent stake in a Taiwanese bank and total investment is capped at 10 percent, according to a statement yesterday from the financial regulator.
Chinese investors need FSC approval to appoint a board director or to sell their stakes, it said.

Talk about wasting police time.
When officers received an emergency call about a man trapped upside down in a ditch in a sleepy Oxfordshire village they quickly rushed to the scene.
But they were in 'no mood for laughing' after the man reportedly in 'distress' outside The Plough pub in Little Bourton last Sunday turned out to be a scarecrow.
Landlord Sam Harrison, 60, created his man trapped in a molehill masterpiece as an entry for the village charity scarecrow competition.
'Our scarecrow was one of 14 made by villagers in Little Bourton for a competition to raise money for a cancer charity,' he explained.
'It was a man fallen down a mole hole and a giant mole.
'The first I knew about the police being called was when someone said there were two officers in the car park.
'They said someone had reported a man fallen down a hole.'
A spokeswoman for Thames Valley Police confirmed they received an emergency call about a man lying in a ditch outside the pub.
Police could not confirm if the caller had been in the pub beforehand.

Whether it is the air miles credit cards, or the credit cards being made to shop, you will get the plenty ways for one to save the money when paying for the plastic. However, we are not at a stage of which every particular financial transactions can be tapped or swiped for the rewards points. Particular portions of our own daily spending actually require to be dealt in the cash.
But when you are using the cash does not mean you cannot have any of the savings as per the money lender. Essentially here are four cash tricks of which you will use to save the money.
1. Carry the Large Bills In Your own Wallet
One of the trick used for spending little amount is by carrying more money in the wallet but this can only work if you are carrying the large notes. Actually this triggers the cognitive bias which is called a Denomination Effect that makes many people feel a bit breaking up the large bill.
The researchers who were studying this phenomenon actually found that the study participants intended to spend money when it was offered in the smaller denominations. Nevertheless, if an entire sum of money was given in the single, the large-denomination note, the participants were a bit willing to use the money.
The interesting this is that those who decide to break their own large bills were actually seen spending more in an overall. Those people who were offered the smaller notes essentially spent lesser in the comparison.
Generally the Denomination Effect at this time shows that people tend to overestimate the large bills and underestimate the smaller ones that could describe the behaviors observed in a study. Therefore if you have been fighting to control in your own spending, began carrying around US dollars one hundred notes and then see if this makes the difference.
2. Gather Up so as to Loose a Change
You will save up to fifteen percent of the daily spending by not even thinking of it. By saving, you can lose the change found in the pockets in the course of the day. Let imagine you paid S$8.50 for your lunch with the US dollars of10 note; actually this leaves you with the US dollars of 1.50 in the coins. You can carry all these coins with you which are two pieces if you are lucky to this in a hope of getting free of them in the following day. But to the reality, you are more likely of receiving more of the coins as these days go by.
Actually US dollars of1.50 cannot look to be much, but this is fifteen percent of the US dollars of10 you have spent there earlier. If you constantly save up the coins which you have, you will be inevitably trimming down the spending of every day which you essentially have.
Do not underestimate on how much the amount of money you may save up in this way, mostly if you are vigilant in the squirreling away to those US dollars of 1 coin. The idea given here is not being miserly and (plainly) pinch pennies. As an alternative, we are using our own ability so to adapt so that this will help us in save more of the money we have.
When you are having less cash in the wallet, you are apt to regulate your own spending in view of that. On the other hand, if you did not set out to set your own loose change, you are mostly likely to make the unnecessary acquisitions just getting rid of them.
3. Stop Spending the Particular Denomination
You have probably discovered that you have a tendency of receiving less US dollars 5 notes than the others, and you will use this for helping yourself to save money. Make the rule which if you actually come across any of the US dollars5 bill; you will drop it into your own piggy bank.
In a practical way, this method can make you to run out of the money very fast. After all, US dollars 5 is not precisely the negligible amount.
If you do this, it make you to struggle getting by, try to make it in a way that you will only put aside any US dollars 5 notes which happen to be in the wallet on a 10th, the 20th and the 30th of a month. In all the other days, you spend as you generally would.
In this way, you will have a flexibility of spend the US dollars of 5 notes if you are required to, or attempt to hold on to them as a result you will bank them in a later date.
4. Pre-draw Your own Cash
Like many people, you most likely go to an ATM to withdraw the cash as and also when you are running out. But when doing this may cause one to lose the control of your own budget, mostly if you are not in a habit of tracing the spending.
Instead of this, try to limit your own number of the visits to an ATM. Get to find out on how much you actually need to spend in every week, and then withdraw only the amount you require in the weekly basis. Allow yourself to visit an ATM during your own chosen the draw day which you can say, in every Monday. This can help one in building up the financial discipline.
If you wish to have more of the cash during the weekends, you need try setting your own draw day on the Friday or on Saturday as an alternative. For an ultimate challenge, you need to try to pre-draw your cash to cater for an entire month. When you actually use up your own money, you will accurately see the budget which you have already left over. This greatly visual the method can be the effective way of replacement for a more tiresome practice that is used in listing down your own expenses. Nevertheless, you will need to reasonably get a place to stash a cash you are holding.
Money is very important. Start using this tips to increase your savings by 20% and the future you will be grateful for what you've done. However, sometimes unexpected situations arise such as hospitalisation bills, housing loan bill and etc. You may be faced in such situation when you're unable to pay up in time. Easy Credit Money Lender offers great payday loan that are able to help you as you can get fast cash and return upon your next pay cheque.
Nobody likes to owe money so start now, follow the steps to a gateway of great savings!

Earlier this year, Tona wrote an excellent post about the fragility of digital archives following up on Max Mueller?s AHA paper that explored both the possibilities and pitfalls of the "I?m A Mormon" campaign as a primary source. Tona noted that, ?What is available to historians relies largely upon on goodwill, technology upgrades, and the market.?
Within this context, it is fascinating to observe, in real-time, the debate over whether or not the General Women?s Meeting is a session of General Conference. This controversy includes the editing of a video of a conference session as well as conflicting (and possibly changing) interpretations about the status of the Women?s Meeting from LDS Public Affairs, the Deseret News website as well as lds.org. While the debate about the status of the Women?s Meeting has been largely framed as a feminist issue, it also raises questions for researchers in tracing changes to historical documents and other sources as well as how ideas get lodged in the imaginations of religious believers. As Tona states,
Things come, go, vanish, launch, in a constant state of (often unannounced) change that nonetheless presents itself as final, unchanging and authoritative? it is a historian?s worst nightmare. If you cannot see the ?manuscript edits? so to speak, how do you know what changed, when, how and why? And if the old just vanishes from the online environment without a trace, what happens to the possibilities for historical research? Most of what we are all busily creating in this decade has simply been written in the equivalent of vanishing ink.
The problem is not one that is new for historians ? manuscripts have been lost, destroyed or damaged. However the speed with which it happens online as well as the lack of tangible process makes it difficult to track. This conflict also highlights the forces at play in the formation of both cultural and institutional memory and raises questions about who controls the historical narrative. Future historians, who study Mormon women in the early 21st century, might use digital newspapers, blog entries or Facebook posts to round out their research, assuming they will still exist. Data corruption, loss of access and the ease with which things are altered/deleted are all issues worthy of consideration for those relying on the digital archive. One might need to screenshot (and print) while the getting is good.

Above right: Screen shot of the article as it appears on the church's official website, lds.org, under the slightly different title, "20 Memorable Events in General Conference History." At the time of writing, the original wording ("the general women?s meeting was the first session of the semiannual general conference") remains.)

the past two months have been emotionally grueling ones. i am forever changed, and i wonder how this change will lead me.
i have been retreating from my haven of yoga. i feel like, as much as i love my studio, i need to be somewhere new, to start fresh, to feel revitalized. my love affair with yoga is dwindling. i realize now that it isn't yoga's fault, but mine. i expected so much. but now… i just don't feel like doing anything. i only go to yoga when it is convenient. i just cannot afford the gas, and i really wish that there was a studio in lincoln besides that damn bikram. i am trying to incorporate running, but that isn't going too well, because of my damn knee. i need to at least go for a walk everyday, i need to do something active everyday, and it isn't happening.
back to basics.
our home is so quiet now. too quiet. it creeps me out to not hear the noises that i grown to expect and feel comforted by. there is no reason to rush home, and after 20 years of doing just that, the change is huge, and i am really unsettled by it. i don't know what to do with myself.

How does one start to describe Alli?
To put it simply, Alli is full of life. Her personality is equal parts soft and spunk. Life is thrilling to Alli–from the food she consumes, to her afternoons in nature–and she brings her joyful attitude to the world of beauty and wellness.
Everyone, meet Alli.
Did you have a job/career before becoming a hair & makeup artist?
Before attending beauty school, I worked in an ice cream parlor and a care facility as a dietary aide for people with developmental disabilities.
What drew you to the beauty and wellness industry?
When I was four, I told everyone I wanted to do hair and makeup when I grew up. I imagined helping brides get ready for their wedding day, and dreamed of working backstage at New York Fashion Week, which I have done six times now.
Above: Alli does makeup at NYFW.
What is your favorite thing about doing hair and makeup?
My favorite thing about doing hair and makeup is making someone's day. Whether it's giving him or her a new cut or color, or brightening their face with some simple makeup tips. Mostly, though, it's about giving them a great experience with positive energy to brighten their day beyond what a new hair or makeup look can even accomplish.
Are there any myths or misconceptions people have about hair and makeup that you find true or false?
You can't color your hair dark and expect to be a beautiful ashy blonde in one hair color appointment. Beautiful hair takes time (sometimes a few appointments to achieve the desired look), and it's important to keep the integrity of the hair strong to make that hair beautiful. So true!
What are your "go to" beauty products?
Thickening Tonic! A 'must have' for fine hair! I also cannot live without Aveda skincare and makeup- I get a lot of compliments about my skin and all credit goes to Tulasara serums, the Wedding Masque eye and face cremes, and Aveda makeup.
Above: Alli owns a few beauty products.
What inspires you, both in work and in life?
I am inspired by passionate, motivated people and kindness toward others. Seeing someone reach a goal they have set is amazing, and as an Aveda Makeup Professional, I get to see that all the time in my classes. I see it a lot when I work at Fashion Week in New York as well. The team there does such an amazing job of supporting each other and working together to put together awesome shows. We truly become one big family.
I am also motivated and inspired by my own family. My husband and my parents are always there to help when someone needs it. They work very hard for all the things they have achieved. It reminds me that hard work pays off to achieve our dreams and that you are never to busy to help a friend in need.
What brings you to your "happy place"?
My happy place is in nature. My husband is a mountain bike racer so we spend A LOT of our time outdoors throughout Wisconsin all summer. I enjoy being outside and connecting with nature while cheering on all the racers and petting everyone's dogs that are spectating as well. I love animals so my other happy place is snuggling on the couch with my two orange cats, Owen and Chester.
Above: Sometimes Alli's husband shows her how to ride.
Favorite food?
My favorite food is probably… tacos… burgers… mac and cheese… pizza? bacon? I love food; I can't decide.
Above: Alli doesn't discriminate towards food.
Is there a special quote that resonates with you?
The quote for me that first comes to mind is the Latin phrase I learned in prep school: alis volat propriis. It means "she flies with her own wings."
It resonates with me because I have always set goals for myself and focused on achieving them. Even if someone didn't "get it", I still worked hard to make it happen and I'm proud of where I've gotten.

The trend of rising home prices continues and is expected to carry on, but don't expect double-digit gains as a norm, analysts say.
Home prices rose 12.1% in April, making it the 14th consecutive month of year-over-year increases, according to the latest CoreLogic Home Price Index. This is the largest annual gain since February 2006, a clear sign of a market in recovery mode.
However, double-digit gains are also cause for some concern, say experts who recall the unsustainable home price increases before the last housing downturn.
"While our recent projected CoreLogic HPI indicates continued home price gains, bolstered by still-tight supply and strong demand, we expect recent double-digit gains to moderate as markets normalize," said CoreLogic.
But has the damage already been done?
With some early post-recession investors in distressed single-family properties saying the market overheated and they're pulling back, it appears a sudden shift is taking place in the market.
Although home prices have risen significantly these past few months, the housing market is still more than 20% below the April 2006 peak and several important factors could moderate rising prices.
Although rising home prices have created fear of another bubble, they have also helped 2.4 million underwater borrowers since the last quarter of 2011.
"Regaining equity creates options for those who might now consider selling their homes because they can close a transaction with enough cash to make a down payment on the next home," said CoreLogic. "Higher prices also attract the interest of builders who see opportunity in increased demand. In both cases, a broader supply brings inventory more in balance with demand."
The current January to April year-to-date increase in the supply of existing homes is the third highest in nearly 30 years, indicating a lessening in the inventory crunch.
"The increase in the supply in context of current tight underwriting standards should deflate the risk of any bubbles," said CoreLogic.

Pope Francis changed decades of Catholic tradition today, declaring women can now be included in an annual Easter week ritual which formerly included only men.
The pope's foot-washing ritual this year also included Hindu and Muslim refugees – a first for any pontiff.
FIND MORE STORIES OF RELIGOUS INCLUSION WITH OUR APP—> Download FREE for Android and iOS
The foot-washing ceremony, added to Catholic liturgy in the 1950s, commemorates Jesus washing the feet of his disciples at the Last Supper. Each year since, the pope and Catholic priests around the world have repeated the ceremony with their congregations, but included only men.
The pontiff departed Catholic tradition in 2013 by including women, and they were juvenile inmates at a nearby detention center.
CHECK OUT: Pope's Top 10 Happiness Tips: Focus on Leisure, Family and Being Positive
This year, the Pope Francis has made the inclusion of women in the ceremony part of the "Roman Missal," the book that guides worldwide Catholic practices.
"After careful consideration", Francis said, "I have decided…that from now on, the pastors of the Church may choose the participants in the rite from among all the members of the People of God."
Francis may be suggesting that those "People of God" might even include non-Catholics in the future. He's chosen to include Orthodox, Muslim, and Hindu refugees in the foot-washing ritual today.
RELATED: Pope Francis and Russian Orthodox Head 'Like Brothers' In First Meeting Since Split 1000 Yrs Ago
He traveled to a center outside Rome that supports asylum seekers and refugees to perform the Holy Thursday ceremony.
Eleven of the 12 people chosen for this year's ceremony are migrants or refugees. They included three women — all Coptic Christians — along with three Muslim men and one Hindu man.

Pumpkin Power
All season long, enjoy pumpkins a plenty because they're a superb food – fiber-rich and packed with health-promoting nutrients like beta carotene and potassium. They're also very low in calorie density. A full cup has just 30 calories.
Don't go overboard with pumpkin seeds, however. They're packed with calories. A small handful can easily tally up more than 200 calories. (And who eats just a small handful?)
And, of course, as a fit foodie you know that anytime you add pumpkin to a high-calorie-dense recipe like pumpkin muffins, the end result ceases to be healthy. It's likely full of fatty butter or margarine, oil, sugar, and other artery-hurting, waistline-expanding ingredients.
Pumpkin Wedges
Enjoy richly roasted but very-low-calorie pumpkin wedges (only about 35 calories per serving) with this recipe, perfect for just about anything, from a mid-day snack to a side dish star for Thanksgiving Dinner.

Susan Lucci is set to appear on Friday's Tonight Show With Jay Leno and addresses the All My Children cancellation. When Jay Leno asks Lucci whether fans could bring her ABC soap back, she said, "You know, I really have no idea, but we'll say our fans are on fire. And they were on line instantly. They are there for us and we are feeling it on All My Children." The veteran soap star also discussed the move to Los Angeles from New York last year in an effort to decrease costs. She added: "I've seen productions on both coasts now. All My Children, both the New York company production taken away from New York and all the people -- the hundreds of people -- and now here in Los Angeles. But we all are still going to work everyday and doing the best we can to give our fans a gift at the end. To say, we've got great story. Agnes Dixon has been welcomed back in to writing her own show. We're going out with the hands we came in on. The ones the audience loves." ABC canceled All My Children and One Life to Live earlier this month after speculation that the former was on the brink. AMC will end in September and OLTL will end January of 2012. In its place, the network will launch two lifestyle-oriented series, The Chew and The Revolution. General Hospital will remain on ABC. AMC debuted Jan. 5, 1970 while OLTL premiered July 15, 1968. Watch the preview below: FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Philiana Ng firstname.lastname@example.com insidethetube

powered by AFI
American Charles Wills returns to Paris, after a two-year absence, to see his daughter. He stops for a drink at a café owned by his old friend Maurice and reminisces about the days near the end of World War II: On VE Day, Charles, a reporter for The Stars and Stripes , is among the Americans celebrating in the streets with the joyous French citizens. He ducks into Maurice's café, where he encounters his friend, Claude Matine, and is introduced to American Marion Ellswirth, who has been in France throughout the war. Marion takes the men to a party thrown by her father James, a charming rascal with a talent for living beyond his means. Charles' eye is caught by Marion's beautiful, vivacious sister Helen, and the young woman stuns him with her description of the family's decadent lifestyle. Marion grows jealous as Helen flirts with Charles, and makes an appointment to meet him later. However, Helen learns about their assignation and shows up in Marion's place, and amid the victory festivities, they kiss. When Helen later comes down with a bad flu after being out in a storm, Charles visits her in the hospital, and they decide to marry. Helen wishes to stay in France, so Charles takes a job with a Paris news agency. Marion, who is still in love with Charles, soon announces her engagement to Claude. Charles and Helen marry, move in with James and have a daughter, Vicki. Charles devotes all his spare time to his writing, but after completing two novels is still unable to find a publisher. By 1950, Charles has grown despondent over his lack of success as an author, and tired of Helen's frivolous, often outlandish behavior. One night, Charles is assigned to interview socialite Lorraine Quarl, who is in Paris finalizing her most recent divorce. They spend the evening together, and when Charles returns home in the morning, Helen's lack of suspicion nettles him. Marion calls with the news that one of James's supposedly worthless oil leases, which he gave Charles and Helen as a wedding gift, has paid off. The family celebrates its newfound wealth with extravagant purchases and parties, and Charles quits his job to concentrate on his writing. Charles' third novel is also rejected, however, and he falls into a deep depression and bitterly declares himself a failure. One night, James invites Paul Lane, a suave "international tennis bum," to attend a party with them. At the party, Paul flirts with Helen, and the inebriated Charles encounters Lorraine, who is now divorcing her fifth husband. Helen asks her husband to take her home, but he insists on taking Lorraine for a drive instead. The following day, Helen treats the badly hung-over Charles coldly, despite his assurances that nothing happened between him and Lorraine. Helen admits that she joined Paul for a nightcap at his hotel and was strongly tempted to have an affair with him. She then tells Charles she is unhappy and asks to go back to America. Charles, who has been seduced by the decadence that Helen now finds unfulfilling, refuses. Instead, he takes Lorraine to Monte Carlo to compete in an automobile race. When they return to Paris, they find Helen at Maurice's café with Paul, and Charles takes a swing at him. Paul takes Helen to his hotel and declares his love for her, but makes it clear that he wishes her to stay with her husband and keep him on the side, pointing out that half the people in her social circle have such "arrangements." Disgusted, Helen walks out and returns home, but is unable to get into the house because Charles has chained the door and passed out, drunk. Helen walks through the snow to Marion and Claude's house, then collapses. Helen is hospitalized, and when the apologetic Charles visits, she asks him to take care of Vicki, and dies. Marion sues for custody of Vicki, and the grief- and guilt-stricken Charles yields without a fight, wishing only to return to America. Back in the present, Charles tells Maurice that the oil wells dried up a year before. Charles then goes to visit James, and is surprised to find him in a wheelchair, the victim of a stroke. James commends Charles on the book he has published, calling it very honest. After being reunited with his daughter, Charles tells Claude and Marion that he wants to take Vicki back with him, but Marion bitterly rejects his emotional appeal. After Charles leaves, shattered, Claude accuses Marion of still being angry that Charles chose Helen over her. Later that evening, Charles is at Maurice's café when Marion comes in and says Helen would not have wanted him to be alone. She takes him outside, where Claude and Vicki are waiting. As Claude and Marion exchange a warm glance, Charles and his daughter walk hand in hand down the boulevard.

28 May Received Pre-Approved Credit Card? Do You Really Want It?
Yesterday, my clients and I were meeting to sign their Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Documents for filing, when the client pulled out his just received in the mail Pre-Approved Credit Card Letter.
Dear Mr. _______:
"Your good standing has been found creditworthy by _______ Visa and that qualifies you for a new Visa credit card."
My first thought was: Are you kidding me? Believe me, I could write an entire blog on the wonderful benefits of this piece of plastic. Note the sarcasm.
I recently posted a video about which secured credit card would be the best to acquire after a person files for bankruptcy. The reasoning behind this video was simple. I wanted consumers to know that after they file for bankruptcy the secured credit card solicitations will begin to come fast and furious. Now, it seems like the credit card solicitation has been taken to an entirely new level.
The reason I say this is because my clients were not in the best financial shape. They were re-organizing their finances for this very reason.
I understand the credit card game. It is a revolving door. People sign up for a card and eventually close the card. Sometimes people last for a while, but the credit card companies must continually grow or die. They cannot sit around servicing their existing accounts. They must pursue new business.
I also know that the credit card company did not know that the clients were contemplating filing for bankruptcy; however, they did target these individuals for an application. Knowing a little about marketing, I thought about this for a moment and asked my clients if they did anything which would trigger this application. Did they buy a new car? Did they apply for credit? In other words, I wanted to know if something kick-started this whole process or if it was just a random occurrence. It seemed to be random.
This really got me thinking because something in their credit file must have said: These people or person fit the exact criteria and/or demographic that you MR. VISA card are looking for. As we all know, the credit card companies rely on the big three Credit Reporting Agencies for their information. So, once Mr. Visa sets the parameters, the CRAs scour their credit profiles looking for those individuals that fit the criteria. Once culled, those lucky individuals begin to receive the onslaught of unsolicited mail.
Lucky them.
How can you opt out of being one of the lucky people.
Before we get there, let's just say that pre-approved doesn't always mean what you think it says. No, these are not the best cards on the market. But, they do serve a purpose for some individuals. Like everything else, before applying for one of these little devils, please do your homework, watch video blogs from consumer advocates and read the fine print.
Ok, so let's talk about opting out of the promotional marketing. Here is all you need to do. Call 1-888-567-8688 and provide some information into the automated system. Once completed, you will be protecting yourself for two (2) years. You can also request information to make this a permanent feature.
If you are like me and need to proof read the copies as well as the original, you can also contact each CRA. Equifax is 1-800-556-4711; Experian is 1-800-353-0809; Trans Union is 1-800-680-7293. Supposedly, it is not necessary to contact all three CRAs, but I tend not to trust these companies to do the right thing. So, in an abundance of caution, call them all.
I hope this helps.
Good Luck

Best Laptop In Range To 55000 For Student
Which is the best dell or hp??? N which model should i purchase???
Hi If you can stretch budget to 58k odd you can go for Lenovo IdeaPad Z51 70 80K60002IN (Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Win8.1/ 4GB Graphic) comes with 5th generation i7 8Gb ram and 4GB graphics also its pretty great. and Lenovo is as good as Dell and HP but at this price point has much better specs.
I checked 2015 laptop rank
I checked 2015 laptop rank....2nd Is dell n 3rd is hp ......so select 2 model 1st dell 15r 5558 n hp 15 p032t...which is best??
Laptop rankings changed based on website they aren't a 100 % accurate ranking and they are also based at the time the laptop was released. the Dell model is out of stock it has exact same specs as the Lenovo one and it costs about 3k more. and HP you've mentioned is a i5 5th gen cpu vs the i7 on the Lenovo. so if you insist on HP or Dell you can go for HP Pavilion 15 P207TX K8U19PA (Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Win8.1/ 2GB Graphic) The Lenovo one is still better though since it has 4GB graphics vs the 2.

Ben Affleck was not going to let "a little cold" stand in his way. He had a job to do last night at the LA premiere of Argo, the stranger-than-fiction tale of how the CIA, Hollywood and the Canadian government worked together to rescue six Americans from Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis.
"It's my goal to get people to come see the movie. This could [be] a tough sell [because] it's confusing. It's hard to tell if it is a spy story, a thriller or a comedy," Affleck, who acted in, directed and produced the film, told Entertainment Weekly on the carpet at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. "But at its heart, this is a movie that's really fun to watch. I'm trying to get that message out there so people show up Oct. 12."
Based on the overwhelmingly good early reviews and Oscar chatter, it seems Affleck is not alone on his mission and he does not take that support lightly. "Naturally, it feels good whenever someone says something positive about your movie. Way better than when someone says something snarky. I appreciate that it can also get people to theaters."
It was enough to motivate Kevin Smith to put on his best pair of shorts, Jon Favreau to call it a day on Jersey Boys pre-production and New Girl's Max Greenfield to book childcare. "I haven't seen a movie in about two and a half years, but the trailer looks great and I've been hearing amazing things so I got off work early, got a sitter, picked up the wife and figured I'd take the opportunity to have an adult night out."
One group already convinced that the film and Affleck deserve attention of the trophy variety is the cast. "I'm not a campaigner, but I will say that I couldn't put the script down. It was a real page-turner. I was immediately going, 'Where do I sign up?'" said John Goodman, certainly no slouch in his portrayal of Oscar-winning makeup artist John Chambers. "And Ben's a born storyteller. His work is so richly detailed."
Clea Duvall, who plays one of the six "houseguests," concurred. "I think Ben made an extraordinary film that is smart, engaging, balances comedy, drama and action and even has some lessons applicable to today's environment. He deserves every bit of praise coming his direction."
While thankful for the positive peer reviews, Affleck is quick to remind everyone who the real heroes of Argo are. "It's a story of American triumph and a tribute to our foreign and clandestine service members, the kind of dangers they face serving overseas and the sacrifices they make for us."
Bryan Cranston, Affleck's character's boss in the film, added, "If it was a piece of fiction, I think studios and producers would have said, 'Sorry but it's just not plausible. You have to make stories that feel real, stories people will pay to see because they buy them.' But because it had happened, no one turned Ben away and good thing because it is a fantastic story of real heroes. It celebrates what can happen when there is cooperation and open communication between governments and the selfless nature it takes to accomplish a mission like this without anyone getting injured or killed."
Documentarian hopes to make film about failed movie that inspired fake movie in Affleck's 'Argo.' Got that?

This week something very strange happened; I won a trip to Norway! There I was, enjoying Jo Fairley's speech at the latest Schwarzkopf launch; next thing I know, my name is plucked from a hat and I'm winging my way to Oslo. I've never won anything before in my life (well, except pub quizzes, which is more a confirmation of my vast existing knowledge), so I am MEGA excited.
We're going in December, when it is going to be fucking freezing, fucking dark, and hopefully, fucking snowy. I am particularly excited to be given the opportunity to live out my True Norwegian Black Metal fantasies, after having received the book as a treasured gift once upon a time from Mr Fur Coat.
In fact, feeling in a kind of metal mood, I started to Google 'metal bars Oslo' and, LO AND BEHOLD;
That's right, two websites dedicated to tourists of a metal frame of mind. Bars, shops, hang-outs… they cover the lot. How did I not know these existed?? Forget SuperFutures, I shall now be running all holiday destinations through these bad boys.

Please Lord,
bless the food before us,
the family beside us,
and the love between us,
And now..........
During the next few days, I will share some delicious recipes that are perfect for the upcoming holiday gatherings that may occur at your home with family and friends. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
This recipe originally posted September 4, 2011.
I could not resist this special recipe. This is from much more than a cookbook. This book could also have been titled " How I worked very hard and cooked up a great life, full of wonder and memories."
I found this jewel of a book, out thrifting one day. I was drawn to it immediately, and wanted to own it and the lessons of life woven into each chapter. One could assert that these lessons if you will were actually disguised within the chapters. After each chapter story, arranged through the years, there are recipes to match the adventure.
This recipe touched my heart.
Oranges for Children
adapted from:
Take Big Bites, Chapter 14, set in the year 2002
Step 1:
Buy a bag of oranges.
Step 2:
Give them to children, that do not have oranges.
Such a simple recipe.
As always thanks for taking a moment to stop and say hello. We appreciate your time and your wonderful comments!

A Vision in the Desert - New York Times
Celebrity Architects Reveal a Daring Cultural Xanadu for the Arab World
The designs presented here in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates and one of the world's top oil producers, are to be built on an island just off the coast and include three museums designed by the celebrity architects Frank Gehry, Jean Nouvel and Tadao Ando, as well as a sprawling, spaceshiplike performing arts center designed by Zaha Hadid.
Mr. Gehry's building is intended for an Adu Dhabi branch of the Guggenheim Museum featuring contemporary art and Mr. Nouvel's for a classical museum, possibly an outpost of the Louvre Museum in Paris. Mr. Ando's is to house a maritime museum reflecting the history of the Arabian gulf.
The project also calls for a national museum and a biennial exhibition space composed of 19 pavilions designed by smaller names and snaking along a canal that cuts through the island. Art schools and an art college are also planned.
Here's a REAL master plan to create a cultural mecca

Posted by Paul Mayfield on 14th Jan 2015
The liner came in very good time and the date of delivery was well communicated and tracking details give.
The liner came in three parcels all of which were in good condition with no damage.
The liner is made of very thick plastic and fits under the lip of the trucks rear load area, nice fittings hold it in place onto original VW holes and screws so no drilling is required. The tailgate cover is also of very good quality and fits over the top of the tailgate to prevent anything rubbing the paint off. The only niggle would be that the main liner raises up with two bumps, the given double sided sticky tape cant hold it down. I think a chequer plate lip would solve the issue and make it look very tidy. Note its a two man job to fit due to size and strength of the plastic.
Fitting the original load lashing points and power socket through the liner is a really good touch as well.

Celebrating a wonderful year together the only way we know how.
A whole year has zoomed by since Tom and I officially became a couple, and it's been full of laughter, memories and adventures. I've found someone who makes me smile every single day. To continue with the overload of saccharine, I wanted to give you all a sweet treat gift idea - perfect for the Instagram lover.
Boomf. Marshmallows with pictures on. Any pictures you little heart desires - want marshmallows with pictures of your cats on? Done. Maybe a Dr Who fan - simple, get Peter Capaldi's face to eat. For $25 (about £14) you'll get nine marshmallows presented in a little box, with the option to personalise with a message. I ordered on Thursday afternoon, and they were with me by Saturday - that's a speedy sweet right there!
What would you get on your Boomf?
