I have always thought it says a lot about Catholics as to whether they have favorite saints, and who they are if they do have special saints. Here are my top ten.
10. Saint Andreas Wouters-Most saints have been extraordinary men and women. That was decidedly not the case with Andreas Wouters! A scandalous priest, he fathered several children. Suspended from his priestly duties, he was living in disgrace when God granted him the opportunity to die a martyr's death, an opportunity he seized with both hands like a drowning man cast a life line. His courage and steadfastness redeemed his life of sin. May all of us have such a happy death as he did. Go here to read about him.
9. Blessed Miguel Pro, SJ-Not canonized yet, I have no doubt that "God's Jester" is a saint in Heaven. During the Cristeros Rebellion in Mexico, he adopted many disguises to bring the sacraments to the Mexican people. A lover of jokes, he is proof positive that saints need not be solemn. When the Mexican government executed him, a death he met with incredible courage, the officials took copious pictures which appeared in newspapers. The strategy backfired with Cristeros troops treating the pictures as precious relics and carrying them with them into battle. Go here to read about him.
8. Saint Marianne Cope– Throughout my life I have been blessed with the friendship of strong women, starting with the love of my formidable sainted mother, and perhaps that is why I have always been drawn to strong female saints. Few have been stronger than Mother Marianne and her nuns who pioneered the care for female lepers in Hawaii. No difficulty or danger could deter her from bringing God's love to her lepers. Go here to read about her.
7. Venerable Matt Talbot-Some saints become famous during their lifetime and some, the vast majority no doubt, are known only to God. Matt Talbot's was a quiet path to sainthood that would be known only to God, but for the accident of his dying on a street in Dublin. However, God does not see as man sees, and I have always thought that this reformed drunk ranks high among the champions of Christ. Go here to read about him.
6. Saint Kateri Tekakwitha-Some saints God decides to distinguish with miracles after their death. Such was the case of Lily of the Mohawks. Go here to read about her.
5. Saint Thomas Becket-I took Thomas Becket as my confirmation saint, and the conversion of the worldly Chancellor of King Henry II into the "holy and blessed martyr" has always enthralled me. Go here to read about him.
4. Saint Joan of Arc-I think I will merely say ditto to what Sir Winston Churchill wrote about the glorious Maid of Orleans:
Joan was a being so uplifted from the ordinary run of mankind that she finds no equal in a thousand years. She embodied the natural goodness and valour of the human race in unexampled perfection. Unconquerable courage, infinite compassion, the virtue of the simple, the wisdom of the just, shone forth in her. She glorifies as she freed the soil from which she sprang.
Go here to read about her.
3. Saint Athanasius-Athanasius Contra Mundum should be a phrase that all Catholics are ever familiar with. Go here to read about the man behind the phrase.
2. Saint Thomas Aquinas-Possessed of perhaps the greatest of intellects, the Angelic Doctor also had the soul of a poet as we can see from his hymns. Go here to read about a special reason why he is my second favorite saint.
1. The Blessed Virgin-Now what Catholic worth his salt will not have Mary as his favorite saint? Humanity's sole boast she has been called and I concur in that assessment. Go here to read the analysis of the Angelic Doctor of the Hail Mary.

Nei panni di Zaff
(In Zaff's shoes) Book not yet available in English
Zaff is 6 years old and he doesn't want to be a king, a prince, an engineer, nor a mechanic. Zaff wants to be a princess. A boy who wants to be a princess? That's impossible for his friends. But what happens when an actual princess, the one from The Princess and the pea, wants to be a football goalkeeper? The princess doesn't lose heart and she immediately finds a solution. And, as in all princess stories, a fairy will show up to help them.
This funny and colourful picture book deals with the themes of identity and freedom to be oneself, in a delicate, harmonious, and sparkling way. The author worked extensively on this text, discussing and revising it with some psychologists, to offer her readers an intriguing and entertaining book. The story takes Zaff's point of view, through which we discover his emotions when faced with the reactions of those who judge and mock him. The story of Zaff, but also that of the "Princess and the pea," invite us to reflect on the often too sharp and dichotomic distinction between "male stuff" and "female stuff," and to go beyond these traditional and purely conventional attributions, to give boys and girls the freedom of expression that they need to recognize and accept each other. The search for one's own identity, for the "clothes" in which each of us recognises oneself and thus feels comfortable in, is already acquired since early childhood, but sometimes it takes time to show itself. This recognition of the right to follow one's own desires and one's own way of being and feeling, free from others' judgment, is accompanied by the need to respect the choices of others, not to discriminate (or deride) those who want to experience something out of the ordinary conventions. On the one hand, the book talks to girls and boys about the free exploration of their own identity and respect for that of their mates. On the other, it exhorts adults to accompany children's growth without anxiety and without attitudes of control or, worse, marginalization. A book that invites us to be who we are, learning to respect diversity and always putting ourselves in the shoes of others.

Civil Right Groups, Environmentalists Team Up to Block Milwaukee Highway Expansion
"Civil rights and environmental groups sued the state Department of Transportation this week to block the expansion of I-94 in Milwaukee," reports Patrick Marley.
In February, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker proposed a delay of funding for the project during the state's budget process. The lawsuit is expected to make the project even more difficult to deliver, according to Marley.
A press release by the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin, posted by Urban Milwaukee, also shares the news about the legal challenge to the highway construction proposal.
[O]rganizations supporting racial and environmental justice – the NAACP Milwaukee Branch, Sierra Club John Muir Chapter, and Milwaukee Inner-City Congregations Allied for Hope (MICAH) – filed suit in federal court in Milwaukee, seeking to block the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's efforts to spend over $1 billion dollars to rebuild and expand I-94 between 16th and 70th Streets when it is refusing to include necessary public transit expansion as part of the project.

Multiple Myeloma Awareness: Our Cause
Did you know that Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer? That many patients have never heard of it until they are told they have the disease. That was my story in March 2014. Multiple Myeloma is a personal journey of mine and why we exist today. Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the bone marrow plasma cells. Our goal is to educate and push awareness so that early detection occurs and less families are affected by this disease. I've learned to be my own advocate and educate myself with the disease. I've had multiple myeloma since 2014 and currently maintaining the disease. My ultimate goal is for it to leave my body. With life changes I am able to move forward with the disease for a productive and healthy life. Each year I host a Bone Marrow Donor Drive to push awareness and gain potential donors to help save lives. To date over 180 military members have signed up to be potential donors. Of the 180 only 2 were prefect matches! As you can see there is a need.
The International Myeloma Foundation, Be The Match, Salute to Life, and many others work hard to spread awareness of myeloma and blood cancer. It does not end on March 31 for Multiple myeloma Awareness month. The journey continues.
How can you help? First get educated "Knowledge is Power" simply click the link below or visit any bone marror donor organizations. After you have gained knowledge and you want to join the registry let me know and I can find a registry in your local area. It only takes 2 minutes to get swabbed.

On Wednesday 8th May, Year 3 visited the Central Mosque and the Anglican Cathedral as part of our work on comparing religions and our topic of Islam.
When we got to the Mosque, we were asked to take off our shoes and were greeted by the Imam, Abu. He told us about the Mosque and explained what the different parts were for. We learned that the mimbar is the place where the leader will speak from and that every Mosque has one. At the Central Mosque, the main gathering is on Fridays at one o'clock and many people come for this. We learned that the shapes on the carpet are used for prayer and they, along with the place called the mihrab, point the way to the holy city of Mecca.
We then went to the Anglican cathedral. We discovered that the Cathedral also has a place where the speaker will address the people from and this is the pulpit. We also saw that there were holy books in the Cathedral and compared this with the holy books in the Mosque. People kneel to pray in the Cathedral and people in the Mosque also bow to the ground when they pray. We discovered that the Cathedral has a font where people can be baptised and also had altars where people worship God.
We now are looking forward to learning more about Islam in school!

The 101 on Linktree:
- Some platforms like Instagram only lets you add one URL link in your bio
- People have so many things going one that one URL link just isn't enough
- Linktree makes that possible to share more than one URL link
- You can add numerous different URL links into Linktree, then add just the one Linktree URL to where you want
- When someone clicks on the Linktree URL link, they will see a list of all of the different links you added
- You can customise your Linktree links and view very basic analytics
- There is a free and paid version of Linktree
When I started using Linktree, I was delighted as it solved the problem of only being able to provide one link on some social media platforms. I also noticed a few issues with using Linktree:
- The free version doesn't allow for much branding
- I had no control in regards to the stability of Linktree, what if it went down?
- The number of users visiting my website was dropping
- I had created another step for people wanting to access my content or read further information
- I couldn't give much content for the URL links I was wanting to direct people to
- My website ranking (SEO) was being negatively affected as I was driving traffic away from my website
At the end of the day, Linktree is just a landing page with a bunch of links on it, so I created my own single URL link page on my website. It comes at no extra cost, and I can do what I like to it. As a result, I have noticed:
- An increase in website users
- When I promote a link that there is greater engagement on that link
- That I have complete creative control over the page
- I have the ability to share more information about the links I'm directing people to
- My website SEO is improving
- I've greater insight in regards to analytics (I use Google Analytics)
- I have great curation control over how I share my links
What I like about this tactic is that can go as elaborate or as simple as you want when creating your own URL link landing page for your website. It's just like creating an additional page on your website. You can add images and buttons if you want, however make sure you keep in mind that you also want the page to be mobile friendly as well.
If you do create one yourself, please share a link to in the comments below as I would like to check it out.

Mr. Bulmahn, what sparked off your desire to start an advanced education program to become a certified technician after completing your industrial technician apprenticeship?
During my 2 years of employment at the in-house extrusion die manufacturing shop, I developed a strong interest in designing and laying out complex tooling myself. My training as a technician also seemed to be the right basis for further hands-on education and training.
Why did you then decide to come back to battenfeld-cincinnati?
My reasons for coming back were simple: good work atmosphere and cooperation among colleagues, an innovative employer and opportunities for personal advancement.
How has the trainee program helped you to re-enter working life in our company?
Much had changed in the two years of my absence. New colleagues, structures and ways of working. Since I had passed through many different departments in the course of my trainee program, I was perfectly able to adjust to the new conditions. I also got to know several areas I had no contact with in my previous position. This made my re-entry very pleasant.
What do you particularly like about your present position?
The interesting point about my present position is the largely independent product designing and processing of complex orders, as well as layout and calculation with various programs such as FloEFD Pro (flow simulation).
We wish to thank Mr. Bulmahn for the interview conducted on 18 December 2012.
Please select the language of your choice.

IGN TV: Pilots are difficult, where so much has to be set up and put into motion, but Smash – which includes Steven Spielberg among its producers — stands out as one of the very best pilot episodes from this entire TV season, boasting a strong cast and an easy to invest in "Who will be chosen!?" scenario.
The story is centered on the conception of a Broadway musical about Marilyn Monroe, the brainchild of successful writing duo Tom (Christian Borle) and Julia (Debra Messing). The involvement of producer Eileen Rand (Anjelica Huston) – who has something to prove — gets the ball rolling very quickly, and like that, director Derek Wills (Jack Davenport) is on board, looking to answer the crucial question: Who can play Marilyn Monroe?
And that's where our initial drama stems from, as we meet the two women who will become the frontrunners for the coveted role: Seasoned Broadway performer Ivy (Megan Hilty), who's tired of being part of the ensemble and looking for a more substantial part, and Karen (Katharine McPhee), a young ingenue type still working as a waitress.
Here's the thing: I'm guessing many of you might read "Broadway musical about Marilyn Monroe" and instantly think, "I'm out!" And while I am a fan of musicals (Thanks, Mom!), I wouldn't necessarily think Smash's plot would grab me – I certainly have no special appreciation for Marilyn. But Smash does a very good job of establishing the world these characters inhabit and their distinctive roles in getting this musical off the ground, and, in the process, investing you in their stories and struggles.
It's extremely well cast, which is no surprise given the previous work of familiar faces like Messing, Davenport and of course, Huston, in her first ongoing TV series role. But the show centers on McPhee and Hilty and they're both great. Hilty, an actual Broadway star, brings that natural stage performer presence, as someone who looks right at home dressing up and acting as Marilyn. McPhee meanwhile is very engaging as Karen, who's obviously beautiful and talented, but has a lot to learn. The key element here is that you really are rooting for her, and hoping she doesn't make some stupid mistakes… especially where the blatantly arrogant and potentially lecherous Derek is involved.
Some of the dialogue, especially as characters try to dissect who Marilyn is, can be too on the nose, such as a corny moment where Karen's boyfriend, Dev (Raza Jaffrey), tells her, "Marilyn wasn't about the sex. She was all about love." But for the most part, Smash is witty and feels very knowing. It's not surprising series creator Theresa Rebeck has a background as a playwright, as there is a believability to moments like Julia's obsession (and fear) about a theater critic who, she exclaims, "Started going after Spider-Man before they were even in previews! Before they started maiming people!"
As for the music, Smash does include characters singing some familiar songs (McPhee gets to belt out both "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" as audition numbers), but also will feature many original songs – the numbers written by Tom and Julia for their Marilyn show. In actuality, these songs are written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. Their real life experience (Shaiman is the man behind the songs in everything from Hairspray to South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut) give Smash a lot of authenticity. You buy these as actual (and good!) Broadway musical songs. And wow do McPhee and Hilty bring the house down with the big number that closes out the pilot.
There's no denying Glee's success led to Smash's existence on NBC's schedule, but they don't really feel similar at all besides the presence of people singing songs. Smash is more grounded and has an innate through-line to its storyline (as we'll follow the progress of the show) and settings and characters that make it feel much more adult. More importantly, where Glee – a show I quite liked when it first began – has really collapsed as time goes on into a rather muddled, inconsistent mess, Smash is here as something bright, shiny and new… and making a very good first impression. Here's hoping it can stay this strong going forward.

Publishing | La publication
Publishing is the final stage of the writing process that allows the author to share his/her story with others who will want to read it. By knowing that others will read a piece, the writer will work more diligently to make certain the piece is as polished as possible.
Publishing one's work can be as simple as recopying the work onto a clean or colourful piece of paper, or as involved as creating a book. The writer can create illustrations to go with the story or can decorate the paper the story is written on. If illustrations or pictures are created, the writer should also include captions.
This may also mean that a bibliography needs to be added and citations need to be correct.
Remember that the writing might never be published and that's okay. Everything a child writes is of value because it contributes to the child's personal growth as a writer.

Holiday Home in La Barceloneta, a Neighborhood of Barcelona, Spain
Located in the easily recognizable city of Barcelona, more specifically in the neighborhood of La Barceloneta, in Spain, this small apartment has a total area of only 48 square meters, whichdespite being relatively smallis sufficient space for a family of two, and more-so when its only used as a vacation home. The renovation was undertaken by architectural firm Egue y Seta, who wanted to remove the walls of the old bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, and hallway spaces in order to create three separate spaces that are visually connected.

One of the things I enjoy the most is encouraging and motivating others. It is one of the best feelings in the world! When it comes natural to you, you never have to worry about "forcing" it or faking it. It is automatic. That is why I always get a little emotional when I am invited to speak with troubled youths who are looking for someone to guide them, encourage them and uplift them without any harsh judgements behind it.
One of the many things my parents have always stressed to me and my siblings is that everyone has a back story. Events and circumstances affect us differently and that is what I always try to keep in mind. No two people are alike which is why we are all wired differently and react differently.
My heart is full again because I am able to give more love and encouragement to those who need it the most. When I am standing in front of a crowd of students, I never get nervous because I love it when I am given opportunities such as this! We all have certain gifts, but the gifts that have the ability to transform and change lives are the gifts that matter the most.
Until next time…

Our Services
We work with you to customize the perfect pet care plan to help care for your pets.
We specialize in:
Pet Sitting, Daily Dog Walking, Leash Training, Mid-Day Visits, Overnight and Live-In Services.
Pet Sitting:
Pet Sitting visits are commonly needed for clients who travel for business or vacation.
Standard Pet Sitting visits are customized to the needs of each pet. We work to make sure each pet has the proper amount of attention, affection, playtime, exercise, food, water, medications, etc.
We are able to schedule as many daily visits as requested while you are away. Some pets may need more attention than others. Often puppies, senior pets, dogs who may be kenneled, dogs without a doggie door, pets who suffer from separation anxiety, or pets on medication may require more visits throughout the day than others.
Also provided if needed are the little tasks such as bringing in the mail or newspaper, watering house plants, turning lights on and off, adjusting the temperature of the home, etc.
Daily Dog Walking:
Our company specializes in Monday through Friday, midday dog walking services for the busy professional.
Depending on the size and breed, being ten pounds overweight can reduce your dog's lifespan by TWO YEARS!
Daily Dog Walking is our most popular service. By providing midday dog walking visits, we help many dogs receive their required daily exercise. Most dogs need to be walked a minimum of twice daily to release their naturally anxious energy. The most common ill-behavior issues in dogs are caused by lack of exercise. A tired dog is a happy dog.
A dog who is too tired to dig, chew, jump or bark excessively is a dog who is walked regularly.
The safety of your dog is our ultimate priority. Our walkers are not friends, neighbors, relatives nor children. They are specially trained professionals who are not only certified, but also do this for a living.
- Our walkers practice the safe, two handed walking technique at all times.
- We do not 'Pack Walk' dogs. Each client will receive the necessary time and attention deserved on their walks, and will not have their safety compromised by sharing walks with others.
- Most importantly, our walkers refrain from the dangers of multi-tasking. Our dog walkers are trained specifically to practice safety first. There will be no texting, emailing, cell phone conversations or use of iPods during our walks. We eliminate unnecessary distractions in order to fulfill our duties to the best of our abilities.
We also work well on short notice. Many clients can simply call or email us if they discover an after work meeting or happy hour will be coming in the week. This way, we can schedule to walk their dog that day. It helps to know your dog is taken care of and the convenience of not having to do it after returning home late.
Leash Training:
Leash Training is a service we provide to clients whose dogs have never been properly trained to walk on a leash. Whether it's a large dog with pulling or aggression issues, or a small dog with alpha or dominance issues. We help educate owners on the proper techinques of dog walking in order to make it a more pleasurable experience for both dogs and owners.
Midday Visits:
The majority of clients who need midday visits are those who may be trapped in an office most of the day, and can't get home to let the dog out or give the pets their medication. This is mostly requested for those who live in apartments, condos or simply do not have a doggie door in their home.
Overnight Service
It is important for your pets to remain without stress and anxiety. Some pets feel abandoned when left alone throughout the night. Overnight visits are a minimum of 10 hours. Don't worry, no one eats your food or treats your home as our own. We are there for your pets and home and will treat them with the upmost respect and professionalism.
Absolute Pet Care LLC offers lifetime registration for each client.
Regardless of the need (pet sitting, dog walking, etc.), as long as you reside within our service area, you are registered for life. Never again do you need to worry about finding a pet care professional. Once a client, always a client.
For registration, call 480-560-3753 to set an appointment.
Home Check-In Service
For our local Arizona Snow-Birds, we offer a Home Check-In Service. It is common for Snow-Birds to need help caring for their home while they are away May through October. With this service, we are able to stop in and check on your home as many times as needed. Most popular requests are 2 times per week. We do offer a discounted rate for this service.

UCLA Completes Season Sweep of Washington Schools With 75-68 Win Over UW
Feb. 10, 2008
Los Angeles, CA - The UCLA women's basketball team jumped out to a 22-point first half lead and then held off a Washington rally to come away with a 75-68 win this afternoon in Pauley Pavilion on 'Think Pink' Breast Cancer Awareness/National Girls and Women in Sports Day. UCLA wore special pink uniforms during the contest to commemorate the occasion.
UCLA, now 13-11 overall and 8-5 in the Pac-10, used an early 14-0 run to move out to an 18-4 advantage at the 12:42 mark of the first half. Washington, which falls to 9-15 and 4-8, went without a field goal for almost eight minutes on the clock before Laura McClellan netted a lay up with 9:32 on the clock to make it 24-8 UCLA. The Bruins upped the margin to 22 points on two occasions in the first half, the last coming at 38-16 with 3:03 to play in the half, before settling for a 44-27 halftime lead.
Washington opened the second half with a 14-4 run to narrow the gap to six points, 51-45, after a basket and free throw from Sami Whitcomb at the 12:49 mark. UCLA responded by scoring the next nine points in the contest and held a 60-45 lead with 10:50 on the clock following a jump shot by Bruin freshman Doreena Campbell. The Huskies then ran off 17 of the game's next 23 points to pull within four, at 66-62, with 4:18 to go after a three-pointer from Whitcomb. Campbell ran down the rebound of a missed Bruin shot and scored from the lane for a 68-62 lead with 2:28 to play. After the teams traded baskets, Whitcomb, who finished with a career-high 27 points, connected on another three-point shot with 1:32 to help the Huskies close to 70-67.
Freshman center Regina Rogers scored inside off of an inbounds play with 1:01 on the clock to put the Bruins up by five. After a couple of missed shots by Whitcomb, Bruin senior forward Lindsey Pluimer made one of two free throws for a 73-67 lead with 15 seconds remaining. Freshman guard Nina Earl rebounded Pluimer's missed free throw and was also fouled, but failed to convert from the line on the front end of her one-and-one situation.
After Washington grabbed the rebound, Emily Florence misfired on a three-point attempt with nine seconds on the clock, but UW grabbed the rebound and was fouled. Andrea Plouffe made the second of two free throw attempts to help the Huskies close to 73-68 with eight seconds on the clock. Pluimer, who finished with a season-high tying 19 points, was fouled on the inbounds play with six seconds on the clock and sank both free attempts for the final score of 75-68.
Pluimer led the Bruins in scoring for the 15th time this season. Joining her in double-digits were Tierra Henderson with 11 points and Campbell, who had 13 points, six assists and four steals. Pluimer tied with Chinyere Ibekwe for the team lead in rebounds with seven.
The win helped the Bruins keep pace with USC, which defeated Washington State earlier today, at 8-5 in Pac-10 play which is good for fourth place in the conference standings. UCLA will host the Women of Troy next Sunday at 2 p.m. in Pauley Pavilion on a day in which the Bruins will honor the National Championship team of 1978.

By Stephen Bryen
Larry Klayman's Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to obtain the release of documents regarding Hillary Clinton's efforts to gain approval for use of an iPhone or iPad to conduct official business while she was secretary of state (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-00646)). The notion is that no such documents exist –that is, during the time she was Secretary of State Ms. Clinton was allegedly using an iPhone, iPad or both and allegedly never asked for clearance.
Unfortunately there is widespread use of smartphones and tablets by US officials, mostly without permission. While these are supposedly for private use and not official business (the latter would entail getting an approval), not much has been made of the use of these devices. But the truth is they constitute a huge security risk for two important reasons: smartphones and tablets are unsafe; officials conduct business on them notwithstanding the risks and in spite of regulations that would require approval to use them.
While the practice no doubt has led to the compromise of sensitive information, most of the time we don't hear about it. A foreign intelligence service with access to a senior official's phone would not want to disclose they were listening in, because that would give away an intelligence gold mine. We do know, of course, following disclosures by Edward Snowden, that the US on its own and in cooperation with foreign intelligence services such as GCHQ in the United Kingdom and the BND in Germany, routinely spy on the smartphones and tablets of foreign officials. Indeed, it appears the BND cooperated with NSA in spying even on Chancellor Merkel's smartphones (over the years at least five of her smartphones were compromised in this way). Even so, anxious not to come up against her own intelligence services or to lose American support on issues of paramount importance to Germany, Mrs. Merkel has defended the BND and tempered her anger over NSA-led spying in Germany aimed at German officials and corporations.
Nuland's Phone
With Ukraine in an uproar in 2013, violent protests in the street, Victoria Nuland called Geoffrey Pyatt, the US Ambassador in Kiev. A full transcript of their conversation was leaked to the press. Here is just one small part of what Nuland and Pyatt had to say:
"Voice thought to be Pyatt's: I think we're in play. The Klitschko [Vitaly Klitschko, one of three main opposition leaders] piece is obviously the complicated electron here. Especially the announcement of him as deputy prime minister and you've seen some of my notes on the troubles in the marriage right now so we're trying to get a read really fast on where he is on this stuff. But I think your argument to him, which you'll need to make, I think that's the next phone call you want to set up, is exactly the one you made to Yats [Arseniy Yatseniuk, another opposition leader]. And I'm glad you sort of put him on the spot on where he fits in this scenario. And I'm very glad that he said what he said in response.
"Nuland: Good. I don't think Klitsch should go into the government. I don't think it's necessary, I don't think it's a good idea."[1]
Our two genius diplomats, working on an open line, spoke in uncomplimentary terms about Ukrainian leaders. Nuland and Ambassador Pyatt made it even worse by acting as if they were the decision makers on who would take over leadership in the Ukraine.
It isn't clear what type of phone, landline or cellular, Pyatt was using, but Nuland's call seems to have been made on a mobile phone. Had she called from her office and had Pyatt been in his, they would have used a secure telephone.
As for the wiretap, that was the easiest part. The Ukrainian telephone system was put there by the Russians before Ukraine became independent. Its trunk lines passes through Moscow. While Nuland's phone conversation call could have been leaked by anyone, the Moscow connection seems the most likely source. The Russians would surely gain from embarrassing the United States.[2]
A Danger to State Department Employees
State Department officials posted overseas are at significant risk using commercial smartphones and tablets. Most of the time they are on diplomatic assignments with their families, meaning that the already blurry line between "official" business and personal affairs dissolves into nothingness, especially if the host country is unwelcoming or dangerous. Even assignments to posts in such "safe" places as European capitals is a risk, because there are moles in the local intelligence services and police and because terrorists today use sophisticated intercept tools as part of their arsenal of weapons to track targets. A good example is France where Islamic radicals exploited social media connections, especially Facebook, to identify targets in the Jewish community. When you think about the vulnerability of families of diplomats using smartphones equipped with accurate GPS the fact of their personal vulnerability is easy to understand.
Who is Responsible?
It is easy to say that public officials are responsible for their behavior, and if they are using smartphones and tablets without government approval, they create a security risk. But what if they got approval to use these devices from their agency? Does that make it acceptable?[3]
The truth is that using commercial smartphones by government officials is extraordinarily risky and dangerous. It means, as already noted, that conversations can be intercepted, contacts identified, and locations pinpointed.
While convenient to say that officials are acting improperly, or agencies have given approval thoughtlessly, it is even more the case that proper security policy is lacking, not just in the State Department, but throughout the US government. The Pentagon, for example, or the military are no better than State, neither is the White House any safer than the Department of Homeland Security.
We are bombarded these days by different cyber plans concocted by the US government, most of which are unmitigated garbage that achieve nothing. If our government just got smart about smartphones it would be a significant achievement. That our government security experts have failed, and failed dismally, should tell you more than you may want to know about our lack of security and preparedness.

[2] Excerpted from my forthcoming book, Technology Security and National Power: Winners and Losers (Transaction Publishers, 2016).
[3] The Defense Department has recently "approved" three smartphones as "secure," which is a reckless and unjustified step that enhances the danger of using smartphones and tablets in official business.

Swimming route1,9 km in the Ebro
Swimming course 1,9 Km.
- The start will be made with the triathletes in the water.
- Competitors presentation at 13:45.
- A warm-up zone will be enabled from 13:00 to 13:40 from the pier to the catwalk.
- The route will be bounded with buoys and canoeists, at all times.
- There will be a single female exit and, 10 minutes later, two male exits separated by 3 minutes each other.
Compulsory equipment
- Cap with number (supplied by the organisation).
- Liquid at the water outlet.
3 Staggered starts
This year, and as a novelty, from the beginning there are 3 staggered and differentiated exits to improve the experience in the swimming sector in the waters of the Ebro River. In addition to the females start, that is given in the first place, giving prominence to the increasingly large group of female participants, two more different starts will be made in the male category decreasing the number of participants in the first measures of the swimming sector. This differentiation by sex and by batches will allow a faster, more comfortable and safer swimming for all the participants.
As every year, at 14:00, it will begin the female start, the only start that will start the race in Triatlon La Rioja.
10 minutes later, at 14:10 it will begin the first male start with a first group of participants. From the organization we recommend that those triathlets who can complete the 1900 metres of swimming in less than 30 minutes or the total race time of a Half Distance triathlon in 5 hours 15 minutes be registered in this start.
Only 3 minutes later, at 14:13 it will begin the second male start, with the remaining group of participants.
The time in calssification of the male and female participants in each of the sector, as well as the final time, will be in any case the real time inverted, taking into accoun the start time of their batch (the time that passes from the exact start time of your batch to the arrival time to boxes/finish).
There will not be an elite exit and start at exit 1 or exit 2 does not limit for any of the classifications or awards that are given in the Triatlon La Rioja.
The registration to each of the batches is under the free resposibility of each participant. From the organization will not control times or rankings for that decision. For the safety of all, the organization can stop selling numbers for one of the two batches when the time comes, being respected the election of exit of each of the registered until that monent. The organization reserves a quote of 50 numbers of the first batch for commitments and invitations.

How do I ask for a Letter of Recommendation?
I received this question from a highly motivated 9th grade PrepWell Academy student. It's a bit early for 9th graders to worry about this - and I couldn't be more proud! This is proof positive that our message is getting through. It is never too early to prepare well.
How important are letters of recommendation?
If you plan to apply to selective or highly selective schools, they are very important. After a few hours of staring at GPAs and standardized test scores, they all start to blend together - especially for application readers at highly selective schools where everyone posts impressive scores. Letters of recommendation can help you stand out from the crowd. In fact, qualitative inputs like this can serve as tie-breakers in many cases.
When are they needed?
Letters are not normally due until the beginning of senior year, but in no way, shape, or form should you wait that long to begin this process.
Whom do schools want to see letters...
Your number #1 priority this summer is to prepare for your official standardized test at the end of August or beginning of September.
This is what you should do:
Let me remind you why I recommend this strategy in case you start to waver on implementing any of these steps:
This is one of the top 3 questions I hear regularly from high school students. It's such an important (and difficult) question, that I thought I'd share my thoughts below.
To review, AP (Advanced Placement) classes are considered "college-level" courses and are thus weighted more heavily than regular classes when calculating GPAs.
For example, an "A" in AP History gives you 5 points, versus 4 points from regular History. This is why some schools regard a 4.0 GPA as a yawner these days.
As long as GPA remains one of the top three criteria for college admissions, students will continue to use AP classes to spike their GPAs. Taken to extremes, however, this can be dangerous.
Things to consider before registering for AP classes:
Are you interested in the topic? If so, chances are you will succeed in the class. If not, you are flirting with danger. For example, if you don't like to read, but take AP History anyway to boost your GPA - think again. AP History may require 90+ minutes of...
These days, I worry that teens are gradually losing skills and concepts that may have long-term effects on their personal development. Here's a short list of things that are going the way of the buffalo...
Clearly, these changes aren't all bad, but the pace and depth of these changes should be noted.
After spending the last two years observing how teenagers approach the college admissions process, I have concluded that the average teenager's concept of time...
Experts agree that reading may be the single best activity a student can do to excel academically in school. It trumps tutoring, Kumon classes, and flash cards. I wholeheartedly agree.
In addition to what reading does for one's imagination and exposure to new ideas, it also takes a tremendous weight off a student's shoulders when it comes to SAT prep (and class work in general).
The truth is, the verbal section of the SAT (which includes Critical Reading and Writing) cannot be studied for at the last minute. There is no way to cram for "reading comprehension", for example. In some ways, a student either "has it" or not.
Sure, there are strategies and test-taking tips that may swing a score by a few points, but a student's true score will be a direct reflection of how much they have read over the past decade. Yes, the last decade.
Yes, there's a lot riding on whether your child grows up as a "reader" or not. And the benefits extend far beyond the verbal section of the SAT.
This is another common question I hear from my PrepWell Academy students as they begin to solidify next year's class schedule.
Aside from "a love of learning" (which is the best motivation), there may be other reasons to extend your foreign language study during high school. Namely, the impact it may have on your college admissions prospects. Here are some factors to consider:
What type of schools do you aspire to?
Highly-Selective Liberal Arts Colleges...
During a recent blog interview, I was posed this question:
"Phil, if you had to pick one thing that was most responsible for the success you've had thus far in your life, what would it be?"
My answer was simple - good habits.
"Good habits", she replied. "That's it?"
She seemed a little disappointed.
"Yes, good habits," I continued. "While our lives are certainly complex with an infinite number of factors that influence our paths, in some respects, we are nothing more than an accumulation of habits - both good and bad."
The Power of Habit
Habits are a powerful force in our lives, yet we rarely pay attention to them. Here's an old story that illustrates this disconnect:
Two young fish were swimming side-by-side in the ocean when an older fish swam by in the opposite direction. The older fish saw the younger two and greeted them, "Hey guys, how's the water?" he asked. The two younger fish just kept on swimming.

Product Review: Silicone Prep Bowls
Hi friends! To be perfectly honest I used to think these silicone prep bowls were REALLY dumb. I thought they wouldn't be useful in my kitchen, and that they would primarily take up valuable real-estate in my tiny cupboards. I kind of thought they were a bit of a gimmick and I was reluctant to try…Read More

Hi friends! Wow wow wow, you're going to love this Mix 'N Scraper ® .

When it comes to your insurance, covering the basics is not enough. It's a big investment, so why would you settle for the bare minimum when you could get more out of your policy? To help you get not only the best value for money but the greatest peace of mind as well, here are our tips for optimising your business insurance.
1. Fully identify your risks and requirements
Conducting a thorough risk assessment is one of the first things you should do when purchasing business insurance, as you need to know what cover you require. However, just taking note of the standard things, such as your vehicle, stock, premises and business interruption cover could leave you exposed to risk in unexpected areas. Consider every possible type of risk your business might face so you can get the most comprehensive cover.
Likewise, make sure you are completely open and honest with your broker, as this will help them identify the most suitable package for you. Even if something seems small or inconsequential, it pays to bring it up. In the long run, you're better to be over-cautious than underprotected – you'll thank yourself later for taking the extra care.
2. Regularly reassess your needs
As your business develops and grows, you are going to be faced with new risks and liabilities. Consequently, getting insurance should never be treated as a one-time activity. It's something that should be revisited regularly to assess whether you still have the most suitable policy. For example, if you are a self employed tradesperson you will need Public & Products Liability insurance to protect against the actions taken on behalf of the business, However if you decided to expand the business and hire staff, it could also be prudent to obtain Management Liability insurance which includes cover for employee practices liabilities.
Think of it as getting a check up at the doctor's office. You are better to act preemptively and catch changes new business risks before they spread and become a bigger problem.
Managing your insurance is a process that must be revisited as your business grows.
3. Look for specialised products
To get the most out of your insurance, you should look for a policy that fits the requirements of your business rather than taking a chance on blanket coverage. The insurance needs of a pet industry business are going to differ drastically from those of a caravan park, so why would your treat them the same. Do your research and find a broker that can provide products specifically designed for your industry. Where a big insurance provider will force you to fit your business into the capacities of its products, a broker allows you to shop around and design a policy exactly around the specific conditions that affect your organisation.
4. Find a broker you can trust
Finally, one of the biggest factors that impact the effectiveness of your insurance is where it comes from. If you are able to identify a licensed, reputable and respected broker, it's going to make all the difference to the outcome if you ever have to make a claim. Choosing a broker is like selecting an accountant or a lawyer – you are putting the financial future of your business in their hands, so you want to guarantee that they are worthy of the task.
Look for an established firm that is well known for delivering quality insurance service and ask for recommendations from other businesses in your professional network.
At MGA, we are firm believers in helping our customers get the most thorough coverage and value possible. To find out more, contact a representative today.

Anti Snore Guide
Snoring is a general term for the sound that some people make while breathing during sleep.Explore Now
Anti Snore Guide
SSnoring is a general term for the sound that some people make while breathing during sleep. There are many different types of snoring sound, but ultimately snoring comes vibration of structures inside the throat, most commonly the soft palate (back of the roof of the mouth). At the most basic level, snoring occurs in some people because the muscles in the body relax during sleep, allowing these structures to vibrate as air flows by them. When people are awake, these muscles are active, and the structures are much less likely to vibrate during breathing

– It focuses on interviews with Rain and 'Lee Na Young' –
Q : How did you feel when you gave Jinny (Lee Na Young) a kiss in the last scene of The Fugitive Plan B'?
Rain : 'Ji Woo' (Rain) used to kiss a character called Jinny with force, but in the last scene, they came to kiss each other by tacit agreement. I wish they had kissed a little earlier, and it's a great pity that they had kissed in the last scene of the drama.
Q :What was the hardest part of doing this drama?
Lee Na Young : I think the fact that we had to shoot action scenes, including me.
Q: A picture showing your lost muscle mass during the 2010 Asia Song Festival, just ignited a heated debate on the Internet.
Rain : It all depends on how they take pictures.
I still have nice abs. You can see the abs during my concert at the end of this year.
Please look forward to it.
Rain : The biggest change in this drama seems to be that Jinny wears a short skirt, I think.
Lee Na Young : Maybe I should just stop wearing it.
Rain : 'Lee Na Young' has seldom worn a short skirt, but she has often chosen to wear it in the drama.
Lee Na Young : I think I've exposed my body to the public frequently.
Rain : Men ought to be all the more grateful for me.
By making mistakes by intention, Rain is trying to make the drama contain many scenes where she wears a dress that shows her exposed figure.
Rain : The scene should be let go on long. That's the shots. Don't give up!
Q : What is it about each of you, you're pleased with?
Lee Na Young : He always let me know the point that has to say in this drama.
Rain : I think I'm more meticulous, but she isn't.
Lee Na Young : He brought me laughter.
Rain : We sometimes had a very hard time during the drama shoot, but we always seemed to use our good manners.
Rain : It seems like just yesterday that I started shooting the drama 6 months ago.
Thanks for a job well done.
Lee Na Young : I know that our great accomplishments are due to your hard work and professionalism.

Almost any motion that involves the ankle is difficult unless this tendon is intact and functioning.
by Joy Keller
Many fitness professionals have dealt with an Achilles tendon injury, either their own or a client's. The largest and strongest tendon in the body, the Achilles connects the lower-leg muscles and calf to the heel. "Synchronous functioning" of the tendon and calf is crucial for many activities, including standing on tiptoe, running, jumping and climbing stairs (Bhimji 2016).
Dutch surgeon Philip Verheyen named the tendon (after the Greek hero Achilles) in 1693. Previously, it was known as "tendo magnus of Hippocrates" (van Dijk 2011). Read on to find out more about this key body part:

This will be a great year to live, work, and relax in Cathedral City. Our Downtown Arts and Entertainment District is building fantastic momentum. The CV Repertory Theater looks incredible inside, which you'll be able to see during their first performance on March 13, 2019! For a limited time, you also have the ability to memorialize your personal generosity, or memory of a loved one by participating in CV Rep's "buy a brick" program. For a small fee, you can donate to the theater and receive a message engraved into either 4" x 8" or 8" x 8" bricks which will make up the paths around the theater.
If you arrive early or stay a little late following one of CV Rep's award-winning shows, you have a number of places to relax, grab a drink, enjoy delectable cuisine, and reconnect with friends and loved ones. Bonta's, Trilussa's, The Roost, AMP Sports Lounge, Pollo Doky's, Los Arco's, Trunk's, La Tabilta, Justin's, The Runway, Zobo & Meester's, Denny's, Apong's Philly Steak, Salsas, Sammy's Place, Pizzeria Bambinos, Capizzi's, Sunshine Café, Taco Bell, Tony's Burger's, Daniel's Table and India Oven are all tremendous local restaurants and bars within walking distance or a short drive from the theater.
While we are on the topic of arts and entertainment, thanks to the tremendous efforts of our Engineering Department, the downtown amphitheater is currently under construction. If everything goes as planned, the horizontal portion of the amphitheater could be completed as early as December 2019. This amphitheater is expected to hold nearly 3,000 people. Having attended many of the enjoyable and memorable City events, I can only imagine what the City will orchestrate when the new amphitheater is completed.
If movies are your thing, the Mary Pickford Movie Theater keeps getting better and better. The Pickford offers a diverse selection of movies, great snacks and drinks, and, for those environmental minded movie goers, our Mary Pickford theater is the only theater in California I know of which runs completely on solar power and battery backups. I invite you to experience their comfortable chairs, convenient parking, and welcoming staff. The Mary Pickford offers a first-class movie experience.
Saving the best for last, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians continue to diligently work on their plans for a Downtown Cathedral City casino. It is my belief that we will soon see additional building plans for the site and it is our hope for a ground breaking to happen in 2019.
If you enjoy staying in the know, please bookmark our new Economic Development website http://www.ccedd.org/. On this website, we offer a number of resources, and information on all that is great and happening in our City.
In future communications, we will keep you abreast of new real estate developments, resources, and other opportunities that will improve the City's quality of life, property values, and economic activity. All Cathedral City residents can help accelerate our economic development by making a commitment to "buy local" whenever possible and encouraging out-of-town guests to stay in one of our several hotels. It makes economic "cents" for you to keep your tax dollars within the City and help fund local community services and programs. Furthermore, there is no better testimonial for attracting future new businesses than to make sure that our existing businesses are prosperous examples for other potentially interested enterprises to follow.
Also, we need your commitment to properly maintain your residential and commercial properties. Routine maintenance shows others the respect and appreciation we value for ourselves, our neighbors, and our community. Property appearance is an important "selling point" when prospective homebuyers, businesses owners, and developers tour our City looking for the "perfect" location.
Please share with your friends and contacts the City's dedicated websites, www.DiscoverCathedralCity.com and www.ccedd.org, which highlights many of our community attributes. As a team, we all play a part in the long-term success of the place in which we love to live, work, play and stay!

Clothes can be bought in The Stash for different prices each. They do not affect gameplay and are aesthetic only. Clothes are usually sold in sets with heads and jetpacks. Just as for jetpacks, which jetpacks are available depends on the current date, and the game cycles through all the jetpacks on an approximate 22 week basis. On the iPhone/iPod version, the set of available jetpacks may be manipulated by changing the system date and entering the game with no internet connection. They can also be acquired through the S.A.M. Prizes.

One of the most unique places in Uganda are sugar plantations. They add so much beauty to the landscape and we thought they would be a great location for Wilberforce and Angella's shoot. Convinced we had captured some great shots, we went to Sezibwa Falls for more pictures before close of day.

Preheat oven to 175°C.Spread the butter liberally on each slice of bread. Arrange the slices in the dish, butter side down. Add a dash or two of blueberry mush on each layer of bread, along with some of the dried fruit. The last layer of bread may be arranged in some artistic way to enhance the appearance of your dessert before serving.Add the egg batter: Mix 100 ml of the fresh cream with the milk. Add in the seed from one vanilla pod or use a teaspoon of vanilla essence. Pour this lot over the bread. Do it slowly to allow the bread to soak up the fluid.Now pop this into the oven for twenty minutes. Then turn the oven up to 200°C for another ten minutes. This will bake the top of the dessert to a nice brown caramel state.
Optional: Switch off the oven and leave the dish inside to sweat a little before removing to cool down. Remember, the dish may be soggy after the baking. You need to allow the boiling juices inside to finish boiling and for the steam to evaporate. The dish will then solidify and the consistency would be that of a juicy cake.Serve this with a dash of the remaining cream and enjoy.Recipe reprinted with permission of The Hungry Sailor.
