'Christian peacemakers' find it more sexy to criticize Israelis than PalestiniansJuly 3rd, 2007
In spite of the Patriarch of Jerusalem's claims that if only the 'occupation' would end, then peace will break out, the Christians of Gaza find that it is not the Palestinian heaven he promised. The Jews, blamed for all Arab ills, have obligingly left, but the angels who were supposed to run this heaven have immediately set about killing each other.
They are also attacking the tiny Christian community.
Broken crucifixes and shards from a Jesus statue have been swept up, but Gaza's tiny Christian community says the violent warning sent by Islamic militants cannot be erased.
The ransacking of Gaza's Catholic convent and an adjacent Rosary Sisters school during Hamas' sweep to power this month broke more than wood and plaster: it signaled the end of a relatively peaceful, even if sometimes uneasy relationship between Gaza's 1.4 million Muslims and 3,000 Christians.
Are there any signs of support from Christian leaders who are normally quick to condemn Israel for defending herself from attacks by (Muslim) Palestinian terrorists? Very little.
Archbishop Kelly of Liverpool has sent a letter of support to the Christian community in Gaza but there are no public statements of condemnation or concern, and only small interest in the Catholic press.
Caritas, in spite of the fact that Palestinian violence forced it to close its hospital in Gaza, never criticizes those responsible but cannot resist trying to give the impression that the Israelis are somehow responsible.
Caritas Jerusalem is continuing its humanitarian work under a very tense situation taking place in Gaza at the present time.
Yesterday, clashes were taking place in the central Eastern district of Shejayea and ten Palestinians have been killed with several score injured in military confrontations with the Israeli army. In response, Caritas is working to respond to the urgent need for emergency medical care in the affected region
And where are the 'Christian' 'Peacemakers'? Not in Gaza, where they are needed. No, they are safe and sound in the West Bank, thanks to the protective presence of Israelis. There they can indulge in their favourite hobby of Jew-bashing.
Here is one Sarah Scruggs, so indulging herself in: Holy Land reflection: a historic day not sexy enough for the press.
I know it's difficult to break the habit, Sarah – after all, it gives you so much pleasure – but you really must try. Christians are supposed to love their neighbours, not incite against them.
But Sarah finds it sexy to whine about Israelis and disapproves of criticism of Palestinian violence.
As the world follows the sensationalized stories of violence and division between Hamas and Fatah, Palestinians in this rural part of the West Bank are uniting to non-violently exert their right to live and work on their lands.
This may not be sexy enough for the press to cover, but I believe it is the stuff people and governments around the world need to hear.
How about moving to Gaza, Sarah, and protecting your fellow Christians? Or is that not sexy enough for you?
Sighting of a rare bird, I mean BishopJune 29th, 2007
Link: http://irenelancaster.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/06/house-of-lord-d.html
While the United Methodist Church's call for divestment is described as "bordering on anti-Semitism", it's good to be reminded that not all Church leaders are similarly prejudiced.
Irene Lancaster has drawn our attention to a debate in the House of Lords on the UK's academic boycott.
Here we meet one of the good guys in the long-running tale of good versus evil (well, how else would you describe the hatred, thinly disguised as a desire for justice, which drives these destructive initiatives against the Jews and their State?). Admittedly, and sadly, it's like a sighting of a rare bird.
He is the Anglican Bishop of Manchester, Rt Rev Nigel McCulloch.
You can read the whole debate over at Irene's blog (and it's worth reading) but here is his intervention:
The Lord Bishop of Manchester: My Lords, I declare an interest as chairman of the Council of Christians and Jews. Does the Minister agree that if any academic seminar is to be worth while, it needs to address at some stage the serious and complex issues that relate to the theology of land in the Middle East, most particularly in Israel? Until those issues are addressed, the fine line which exists between concerns about Israeli policy and where they begin to merge into anti-Semitism is a serious one, deserving of the most stringent academic exploration.
Jerusalem Church Leaders Simultaneously Lose their MemoryJune 13th, 2007
I was about to suggest that if the Jerusalem Church leaders were little wooden puppets, they would have very, very long noses by now, but let's be charitable. Perhaps they are entering their dotage and forgetting where they left their slippers, whether they've had their dinner or not today, and the recent history of the country they inhabit.
On Pentecost Sunday, Church leaders of Jerusalem issued the following statement about the anniversary: "This year marks the 40th anniversary of occupation by the Israelis of land previously held by Palestinians. It is totally unacceptable for the situation to continue where the Palestinians endure daily hardships and humiliations with deprivations of international human rights, allegedly to ensure the safety and security of the Israelis, whereas we believe the security of Israel is dependent on the freedom and justice of the Palestinians."
As The Reformed Pastor put it in Hierarchs to Israel: Let Hamas Handle Security
The hierarchs' statement can be found here ; since it's in scanned PDF format and I don't feel like re-typing the whole thing, I'll just include a bit that gives the flavor:
This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Occupation by the Israelis of land previously held by the Palestinians.
Actually, it was held by the Jordanians and Egyptians. These guys don't even remember events that they lived through.
Meanwhile, Patriarch of Jerusalem Michel Sabbah is not only forgetful of the past, but does not seem aware of what is happening around him now.
Almost eight weeks earlier, Patriarch Sabbah, in an April 3 Easter message, said that Israel must have the courage to end the occupation of the Palestinian people and allow healing to begin "in our land, in the region and in the world."
Acknowledging the fear of Israelis that "wants to see the Palestinians as terrorists or as incapable of assuring security," Patriarch Sabbah said that that fear has immobilized the Holy Land from breaking the cycle of dysfunction and has led to "several worldwide phenomena (that) have arisen in the world as a direct or indirect consequence."
Yet, he said, that dysfunction will continue until the occupation continues.
Israel ceased its 'occupation' of Gaza, and removed the Settlers, whose presence was blamed for everything and see how peace has broken out there as a result! No dysfunctional behaviour in Gaza now, is there, Patriarch?
Hamas undermines work of Pax Christi, Sabeel, EAPPI, etcJune 11th, 2007
Poor things. After all their efforts to remove the anti-terrorist barrier and allow Palestinian mass-murderers to return to carrying out regular massacres of Israeli men, women and children, Pax Christi, Sabeel, EAPPI, etc, have been undermined by Hamas.
Hamas are an awkward lot – they will insist on telling the truth, so that all the lies told by these 'Christians' immediately unravel.
Here's EAPPI waxing sentimental:
"We used to be able to see the sun rise over the Dead Sea like a big orange," says Clemance at one of her Arabic classes with us. But now the wall is blocking the view."
Oh, what a shame. Who cares about the lives of Israeli innocents, eh, Clemance? Just as long as you enjoy your pretty view.
And here's Pax Christi:
The Israeli government claims that this is a security barrier. But it has become a major source of oppression for the Palestinian people - an unacceptable form of collective punishment.
Meanwhile, here's the truth from Hamas:
As part of the above criticism, Moussa Abu Marzouq was asked about the drop in the number of suicide bombing attacks ( al-'amaliyyat al-istishhadiyya ) during the Hamas government's term. In his reply, Abu Marzouq admitted that "[carrying out] such attacks is made difficult by the security fence and the gates surrounding West Bank residents". He stressed that the (Hamas) movement was powerless to extend any significant assistance to the West Bank, but that the actual happenings on the ground (the existence of the security fence and the gates) gave it a legitimate reason to do so (meaning that the reality formed after the construction of the security fence impairs Hamas's ability to carry out suicide bombing attacks
They've even said it on the telly.
It should also be noted that, in a television interview (November 11, 2006), Ramadan Abdallah Shalah, the leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, an organization which has taken the lead in perpetrating suicide bombing attacks in recent years, also admitted that the security fence constructed by Israel was an obstacle to the terrorist organizations (the "resistance"), and that things would have been completely different had it not been there.
Ramadan Shalah interviewed by Al-Manar: "The fence is an obstacle to the resistance; without it, the situation would have been entirely different…" (November 11, 2006)
Poor Pax Christi, Sabeel, etc. Well, that's what happens if you are dishonest. Be sure your sins will find you out.
Sabeel, Hamas and other anti-SemitesJune 3rd, 2007
It might not come as a surprise to find Sabeel, Hamas and other anti-Semites getting on like a house on fire. After all, they understand one another so well.
Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs has turned the spotlight on this particular grubby little corner.
Eileen Fleming, the Daily Kos diarist who also contributes to antisemitic hate sites, has a new post today, an excerpt from her book about "spirituality based on love, justice, peace, nonviolence, liberation and reconciliation for the different national and faith communities."
And Hamas.
Sabeel: The Way and Christian Zionism: The Way NOT!
My Sabeel group also met with four newly elected Hamas members, but we never got to meet any terrorists.
No? Well, here's a reminder about the genocidal intentions of Hamas in its own words. And if that doesn't convince you, they express them in more gory fashion in this video: We will drink the blood of the Jews.
Sabeel evidently has no problems with this.
Our translator was George Rishmawi, whom I first met in June 2005 when he worked for Holy Land Trust. George is currently the Coordinator for the Greek Catholic Church Center for Holy Land Studies and he was my 'shepherd' when I went to Beit Jala, to meet little George the little boy on the top right of the WAWA Banner for the first time.
Mr. Zboun greeted us in English with a broad smile on his face and stated, "We welcome you to our home and the Holy City of Bethlehem. We are suppose to be terrorists, are you afraid?"
We all laughed then...
An interesting little screen shot here, of the website of this friend of Sabeel and Hamas advertised on a site which supports the likes of David Irving and lies about the the 'Holo-haux'.: The company you keep.

Mango Thai Curry
Mango is called the King of Fruits of India for a reason.
With it's sweet, rich flavour and heady aroma, it's no wonder it's so popular. But mangoes can be the stars of savoury dishes as well. This mango Thai curry takes full advantage of the exquisite flavour of this fruit.Preparation Time: 20 minutes
- Coriander-mint chutney made with ginger, garlic and green chillies
- Pulp of one ripe mango
- Blend the two together.
- 1 chopped onion
- 2 cups fresh coconut milk or 1 tetra pack of store-bought coconut milk
- Turmeric
- 3 fresh basil leaves
- 1 leaf of lemon tree if available
- 3-4 lemon grass
Saute the onions in little bit of water and when they turn translucent add the green paste with mango. Add the turmeric, basil, lemon tree leaf and lemongrass. Add a quarter cup of the coconut milk and let it simmer for a few minutes. Add the raw vegetables and stir it around a bit.
- Add in the rest of the coconut milk and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Put in the steamed vegetables and let it come to one boil.
- If you use the ready made coconut milk you will need to add water since it is much more thicker.
- Add in some salt and pepper and serve hot with brown rice.
- The mango adds a sweetness and gives it a nicer colour.

Frankincense tears consist of the resin obtained from Boswellia carter, a
species of tree native to Arabia, India and northern Africa. It takes between 8
and 10 years for these small, thorny, shrub-like trees to mature before the
milky resin can be hand-harvested.
Frankincense granules are highly aromatic and
are typically burned over smoldering charcoal bricks as incense.
Frankincense and myrrh pair together beautifully in incense blends.
Fill muslin bags with frankincense tears to use as sachets for linens and drawers.
Not for culinary use.
coming soon
Frankincense is the hardened sap that runs from a tropical tree in
the torchwood family that grows in Asia and the Middle East. The resin
"bleeds" from the scored bark of trees that are 8 to 10 years of age and
quickly hardens to form "tears." It is highly fragrant and most commonly
used in this form as incense.
Background: Frankincense has been used since ancient times. It is mentioned in the Bible. Jews use frankincense as a ceremonial incense as an offering. In Egypt, frankincense was used to paint the eyelids of women. It was also used as a hair remover and perfume. Frankincense is used most commonly as an incense that provides vapor.
Description: Frankincense is obtained from a tree called Boswellia Thurifera. It grows in African and Arabia. It is obtained by cutting into the trunk of the tree and allowing the resin to harden to be harvested.

Enigin Distributor Trevor Williams, based in Africa, started his energy saving business at the turn of the year.
Enigin Distributors have enjoyed and appreciated the training provided for them to gain success in their own energy saving businesses.
Listen to what they had to say by reading on and watching the video:
I read a great article by Paddy Manning on the The Age website from Australia.
It appears that in Australia they are about to debate various carbon emission policies, like so many other countries.
This is of interest to everyone connected with Enigin, Partners and Distributors, as energy efficiency is the nature of our business.
Manning goes on to discuss the energy efficiency business, showing what a great business opportunity we have:
Ho hum, you say? No money in it? Wrong. Energy efficiency is the fastest-growing carbon abatement market, according to HSBC's recent Climate Annual Index Review. HSBC estimated that the global market for energy efficiency this year was $US164 billion ($A178 billion) and would grow to more than $US600 billion by 2020.
ENIGIN Plc's Mindshare training programme of Enigin Distributors for July '09 finished today.
THIS week Enigin Pic started their new, Mindshare training course.
It has been a busy week here at Enigin as another commercial training course has been taking place with Enigin Partners from around the globe.
This presentation is our "tour video" so the world can see a brief view of the Enigin offices in Cornwall, UK,
WHAT is Enigin's Residential Commercial Training Course like?

Urs Häfeli
Dr. Urs Hafeli completed a bachelor of science in pharmacy at the Federal Institute of Technology (Zurich, Switzerland) and a doctor of philosophy in pharmacy at Paul Scherrer Institute/Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. Dr. Hafeli is an associate professor in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at UBC.
Dr. Hafeli enjoys teaching all aspects of drug delivery for both undergraduate (PHAR 220, PHAR 323) and graduate students (PHAR 592A, 510, 518, 525).
Research in the Hafeli Laboratory is primarily directed at fighting cancer with radioactive pharmaceuticals and the development of diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals to be used in different nuclear medicine procedures. He also enjoys exploiting nanotechnology and microtechnology for different drug delivery applications, including the development of painless microneedles and the use of microfluidics for the preparation of monosized microspheres. Under the guidance of Research Associate Dr. Kathy Saatchi, the Hafeli laboratory has a strong chemistry base that encompasses organic, coordination and polymer chemistry. Using these tools, Dr. Hafeli's research includes the entire spectrum of drug research from the synthesis and radiolabelling of new molecules; the preparation of drug delivery carriers such as nanoparticles, microspheres, antibodies, and polymers; the careful evaluation of drug delivery systems in vitro and in toxicology experiments; and finally, efficacy testing in different in vivo models using many different imaging modalities (SPECT, PET, CT, MRI, optical imaging).
Current Projects
Radiopharmaceuticals, the general name for radiolabelled diagnostic and therapeutic agents, can take many different shapes including particles sized from tens of nanometers (= nanospheres) up to about 100 micrometers (= microspheres), viscous solutions and micellar/liposomal suspensions, sheets, metal implants such as stents (metal or plastic coils), and biodegradable films. The Hafeli laboratory is interested in preparing radioactively labelled drug delivery vehicles of all shapes, made from many different materials, and using them to kill tumours and prevent their reoccurrence.

Cape Lion are a duo from Stockholm who deliver what you look for in indie pop, fresh hooks and catchy melodies. Formed in 2012, Carl-Johan Sevedag and Martin Wiklund came together from diverse musical backgrounds to create Cape Lion. Blending genres throughout each of their past releases, Cape Lion's newest song, "Called You Mine" keeps to the same formula.
Using vocals to carry the energy, "Called You Mine" climbs into an anthem once it hits the first chorus, latching on until the song fades out. Just as the vocals provide the spark, the instrumentals act as a sturdy base, accompanying the chorus with ease and adventuring through the breaks. By the time the song is over listeners will be ready for more.
With each release, Cape Lion seem to be coming further into their own, so keep an ear out for more from the duo in the future.

A snow storm that had 3,000 vehicles trapped on a motorway in the Province of Segovia on Saturday night has transformed into a political storm with calls for those responsible to resign.
When we say 'those responsible' we mean those responsible for failing to act in time, but the Central Government is busy passing the buck.
The Minister of the Interior, who was photographed watching a football match in Sevilla rather than being at his desk, blames the private company that runs the AP-6, for not making provisions.
The fact is that this was an Operación Retorno (mass road use at the end of a holiday period by motorists returning to their place of residence – all traffic-police leave is cancelled for these periods and special provisions are put in force). For this reason, the Head of the DGT should have been on duty.
The said company blames the drivers for not being prepared; i.e., not having snow chains, whilst the opposition parties en-bloque are calling for the Head of the DGT (National Traffic Department), along with the Minister of the Interior, to resign.
The fact is that the toll booths continued to allow motorists to access the motorway, charging them the toll fee, despite knowing that thousands of cars were already trapped and that the snow ploughs couldn't get through.
The DGT, who should also have issued warning for motorist not to use the AP-6, did no such thing – the Head was on holiday in Sevilla, too.
Drivers trapped during the whole night, in some cases up to 14 hours, were running out of petrol to keep the heating in the cars going and the Guardia Civil Traffic Police were conspicuous by their absence at first because of bad management at the top.
And this is where the media archives are coming back to bite the Prime Minister because in 2009, in a similar situation where thousands were trapped in their cars owing to adverse weather conditions and a lack of administrative action, Mariano Rajoy, who was still an opposition leader back then, called for the Minister of the Interior to resign, claiming sarcastically that the said minister hadn't twigged that it had been snowing… And here we are in 2018 with the boot on the other foot. He claims that the situation "is not the same."
But it's not the first time that the PM has been caught out by media archives because, again when he was in the opposition, he had scathing words for the then PM, Zapatero, for raising the IVA tax from 16% to 18%. He said that "raising taxes were the sign of a bad leader." Yet as soon as he came to power he raised IVA from 18% to 21%…
No matter how much the Government is trying to shove the blame onto the company that runs the AP-6, saying it has nothing to do with the Government, the fact is that no matter if a road is in private hands, public administrations are responsible for them; even privately run motorways with toll booths are policed by the Guardia Civil Traffic Police, which is a clear enough indication that the buck stops at the top; i.e., with the Minister of the Interior.
One last incident is worth mentioning. Four young men, trapped in their car, recorded a call that they had made to the 112 emergency number. It was their second call in four hours and they were getting desperate. The female operator said that nobody would be coming to their aid and that they were old enough to know better than to go out without snow-chains. The caller replied that they were in a 4-wheel-drive SUV, which is why they didn't have chains. At this point the supervisor came onto the line and told them the same as the female operator in a very sarcastic manner and cut off the call.
As the caller later said to the press, when you call an emergency number you expect help, not sarcasm – "fine me, but at least help," he reasoned.

text: Stachys is one of the largest genera in the flowering plant family. It is in the subfamily Lamioideae (Labiatae), spreading and growing in different parts of Iran. The purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical properties of Stachyslavandulifolia as well as the essence, ethanol and methanol extracts of this plant. It was collected from Chulus located in the West of Mazandaran Province. The ethanol and methanol extracts were provided using soxhlet and percolation. The extracts then were defatted and solvent removal performed in a subsequent process. The anticancer activity of extracts was also conducted using MTT assay method in this respect. The test results indicated that there is no significant effect on the inhibition of cell growth when the concentration of extracts is lower than 0.5 mg/ml clarifying that the more the increase in concentration, the more the reduction in growth inhibition.

Originally from Waterbury, Connecticut, Deacon Eric is a graduate of Sacred Heart High School in Waterbury and from the University of Hartford where he majored in Politics & Government and Philosophy. His first 1 ½ years in college were spent in residence at Saint Thomas Seminary exploring a vocation to the priesthood. As life and finances would have it, Deacon Eric found himself unable to attend college full-time and used his restaurant skills to land full-time employment with the Howard-Johnson's Company as an assistant manager as he worked his way through college. Through a remarkable chain of events and divine providence, Deacon Eric met his wife, Cathryn, while attending a summer economics class at UCONN in West Hartford and then changed careers from the hospitality industry to law enforcement in 1983. Deacon Eric and his wife have been married 29 years and have daughter Sara and a son Jesse. Cathryn is a registered nurse by trade and has served as the parish nurse at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Waterbury and St.Timothy in West Hartford.
Deacon Eric is a 24-year law enforcement veteran who has served both in municipal and state police forces in a wide variety of patrol and administrative functions. Deacon Eric retired from state service at the rank of Lieutenant from the Office of Administrative Services as the Commandant of the Connecticut State Police Academy and Educational Coordinator for the Department of Public Safety in 2007.
While in the State Police, Deacon Eric earned his master degree in Public Administration from the University of New Haven ('92) and then his doctorate in Education from the University of Hartford ('98). Since 1998, Deacon Eric has taught at all levels of higher education holding adjunct positions at Middlesex Community College in the Criminal Justice Program; a visiting faculty position in the Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership at the University of Hartford as well as an adjunct role in the Sociology Department teaching policing and leadership related courses; an adjunct faculty position at the Albertus Magnus College at the graduate and undergraduate levels teaching Change Strategies, Religion in the Workplace and American Government. He also held positions at Quinnipiac University as Associate Director of the Organizational Leadership Program and Visiting Assistant Professor of Management in the Lender School of Business. In August 2010, Deacon Eric joined Goodwin College as Associate Professor and Director of the Organizational Studies and the Business Administration Programs. In March of 2011, he was promoted to Chair of the Department of Social Science, Business and Education. He currently serves as Chair of the Department of Business, Management and Advanced Manufacturing and as Assistant Vice President for Business Development at Goodwin College. Additionally, he is the director of the Transitions Food Pantry at Goodwin College which provides services to the Goodwin College community and their families.
Always aware of the presence of almighty God throughout his law enforcement career, Deacon Eric responded to the call to continue his service to God's people in the diaconate. As a 4th degree member of the Knights of Columbus, Deacon Eric is a devoted supporter of the clergy and the Holy Catholic Church. With the Church in crisis and the moral fabric of our culture under attack, Deacon Eric entered the diaconate program in the summer of 2005, the same year he and his family moved to West Hartford and became members of Saint Timothy Parish. He was ordained in June of 2010. It was a remarkable journey of learning and faith building that led to Deacon Eric's ordination and allowed him the privilege to minister at Saint Patrick Church in Farmington and at Saint Brigid Church in West Hartford before coming home to Saint Timothy's in September of 2017. Deacon Eric has a passion for leading men back to fulfill their spiritual leadership roles in their families and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ through work in the Church and the greater community. He served on the organizing committee of the Connecticut Catholic Men's Conference from 2011 to 2016 and looks forward to bringing men from the parish each October to this event.

CHERYL DAVISON, an Aboriginal woman from the Yuin tribe, displayed her natural gift for story telling at a recent friendly gathering in the Tilba hall, where she captivated her audience with Dreamtime stories illustrated with screen projections of some of her beautiful art work.
Cheryl's Mum (pictured here with Cheryl) gave a 'Welcome to my Country' speech in keeping with the informal tone of the meeting. Later she told of Cheryl's on-going fascination with the Dreamtime stories of her elders, especially her beloved grandfather. Family photos showed a large, proud family, able to trace their ancestry back for many years of living in the district.
One of Cheryl's earliest works, an engraved lino tile made when she was homesick for Gulaga (mountain), was the first public acknowledgement of her talent. (It is now in the NSW Art Gallery.)
In an interview with Valerie Faber, owner of the Bodalla Art Gallery, Cheryl had said, "Painting for me is never forgetting the past: to be proud of my heritage and culture. Aboriginal people today still grieve the loss of culture and country. It's through my work that I'm able to keep the south coast stories alive."
While her work is distinctly Aboriginal there is a strong contemporary influence. Already an established artist, Cheryl was nevertheless thrilled to learn that the emblem she designed for the Sydney Swans players in the 2018 AFL indigenous round was chosen for this popular sporting event.
Memories told with humour
Cheryl's family stories were loving and matter-of- fact and told with gentle humour. They included memories of sadness, abuse, hard times and grieving, but were told without anger or bitterness.
Cheryl was accompanied on stage by non-Aboriginal folk singer, Annie Bryant, who had been invited to tell a "white fella" story of first contact, which she did with considerable charm and the full attention of the audience, including children of various ages, sizes and backgrounds, sitting on mats at the front of the stage. In the words of Annie's song: "When I see you I remember … just how much this country means to me".
Meaning of Gulaga
Gulaga, [located near Tilba, previously known in white fella parlance as Mt Dromedary] has spiritual significance to Aboriginal people, especially to women who traditionally regard it as a place of birth. The mountain has been a source of fascination and mystery to outsiders as well, especially when it is shrouded in mist and cloud. Cheryl likened this cloud to a possum cloak – the totem of her tribe.
Gulaga was sighted by Captain Cook as he sailed up the coast in 1770; the extinct volcano, which rises 797 metres above sea level, was named Dromedary because of its camel-like humps. However it has always been Gulaga to the local Aboriginal communities on the South Coast and in 2006 it was officially given back its original name when the NSW government formally assigned its management to them.
Visitors may climb Gulaga and capture some of the natural beauty and magic of the mountain when they follow an old gold mining track that starts from Pam's General Store, Tilba. It's a fairly steep track, overgrown in parts but climbers will be rewarded with spectacular views to the coast, cooling rainforest near the summit, and native wildlife along the way.

CORRECTION: Due to inaccurate information provided by the Indiana State Police, Mr. Simmons' age was incorrectly listed. Mr. Simmons was 30. RTV6 regrets this error.
LIZTON — A roadside repairman was killed in a 3-vehicle crash Wednesday on I-74 near State Road 39 in Hendricks County.
According to a release from the Indiana State Police, Clinton Simmons, 30, Lebanon, had finished repairing a flat tire on a box truck and was putting tools back in his repair truck when a semi drove onto the shoulder of the road, pushing the box truck into Simmons' repair truck and striking him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the semi, Steven Sanchez, Indianapolis, was trapped in his truck and had to be removed. He was flown by medical helicopter to St. Vincent Hospital. The driver of the box truck was not injured.
Troopers believe Sanchez may have fallen asleep prior to driving onto the shoulder, and alcohol is not believe to be a factor in the crash.
The crash is still under investigation.

Cemeteries of Arkansas: Mt. Hebron Cemetery is located in the small community of Colville, approximately three and half miles west of Lowell in Benton County. In addition to 252 historic marked burials and 97 non-historic marked burials, there are also 92 historic marked and unmarked burials that are undated. A large number of burials are pioneers associated with the founding of the community of Colville. The cemetery dates back to creation of the church's membership in 1872. The first marked burial belongs to Marion Clemme who died on September 11.There are two other burials for that year. The date of 1872 coincides with the warranty used for the entire property. The cemetery is rectangular in shape and lies just west of Mt. Hebron Road.
There are many types of markers throughout the cemetery, including several native stone markers, obelisks, militarymarkers and marble tombstones. One cement marker is in the shape of a cat. It is not known if a cat is buried there, or if it represents a favorite pet of someone buried there. There are two large obelisks located close to each other near the center of the cemetery that mark the graves of A.J. McCuistion, a founder of the church and Julius Roberson, a Confederate veteran.

Sometimes an extra dose of adrenaline is all it takes to get an early start to the day. After I wrote yesterday's page, I ended up in a conversation with some friends instead of cleaning. After the conversation was over, I was tired so I decided to head home to get some sleep and then go in to work this morning to do the usual early morning cleaning and prep. As it turned out, that was a better decision than I had any idea it would be. Sometime around 4 AM, we were awakened by a buzzing sound that ended up being my cell phone. By the time I got to it, the security monitoring company had left a message that the alarm at work had been triggered. Even before I heard the message, just seeing "security monitoring" on the caller ID was enough to get the adrenaline flowing and I was wide awake as I threw on some clothes so I could head to work to see what the issue was. As it turned out, this was just a false alarm and everything in and around the building was secure. While it was a couple hours earlier than planned, I figured that while I was there I may as well start my day and get the cleaning and building prep done.
As I went about the cleaning, I sang a variety of hymns that I grew up on and found that they brought relief to my anxious spirit and calmed my mind as I sang. While an unexpected phone call can raise my adrenaline level, a lifestyle of worship can restore it to some sense of normalcy. Once the building was ready for the day, I turned my attention to finishing up the design of the display banners I began working on yesterday. When they were ready, I submitted the files to the printing company so they would be finished before my next scheduled conference. Shortly after noon I found that I was wearing down and then realized I had been up since 4 AM on what is normally my day off. With a weariness taking over and a windchill temperature near zero, I headed to lunch and then went home to spend the rest of the day relaxing as I did some initial research into possible family vacation destinations for this summer.
Today's photo is one I took yesterday during a snowy hike at Potato Creek. Even in the midst of the falling snow, the brush was filled with songbirds finding food and singing their songs. In what most would consider adverse conditions, these birds clung to the twigs and made the best of it. So often, it is the trying, tense times of life that put us to the test. What we're made of, or filled with, soon becomes evident by our response to the difficulty and whether we are able to continue to sing.
As I reflect on the day, here are some thoughts/lessons that stand out to me:
- Life doesn't always go according to plan — at least not our plan — and that's okay.
- 4 AM phone calls may catch us by surprise but they don't catch God by surprise.
- My "fight or flight" mechanism tends to lean toward the fright side of the equation.
- Worship goes a long way in reminding me of who God is and how much He cares for me.
- It is just as important to acknowledge God's presence in the difficult times as it is in the good times . . . and every time in between.

As a narrative psychologist, the most frequent question I am asked is: what is anxiety and how can I cure it?
Almost everyone I meet has suffered from or is suffering from anxiety. For some people it is transient and linked to specific life events. For others it is a devastating part of their lives.
There are hundreds of books, programmes and tapes about how to 'cure' anxiety, but a single factor influences whether or not you will be able to learn to live with it.
Time. If you are not willing to spend time learning about your anxiety, what it is, how it affects your mind and body, how you can do something about it, then it will be difficult to cope with. There really is no quick fix. It's personal. It takes time to really understand why this is happening.
The core aspect of dealing with anxiety is that the mind believes anything you tell it. Think about it – this is why advertising is so effective – we are bombarded with products and brands over and over until we believe that they are brilliant, and often necessary. What if you did this with your 'self'? If you tell yourself over and over again that life is hopeless and that you are going to be scared next time you go outside, in a car, or speak in public, then you are training yourself to do just that. You're creating a bad brand. Instead, tell yourself you are wonderful, that you can do it. Tell yourself over and over again.
Positive affirmations may seem flaky and as if they belong on some new age website, but they do help to retrain your mind. Affirmations, however, work better if they are personalised. Working on a personal programme to deal with anxiety will allow you to develop a plan which is specific to your needs, to your perception of your own problems, and this takes time as you will need to understand them in the first place to deal with them. The crucial aspect in this is that you don't forget or give up after a couple of days – do positive affirmations every day. Research it. Ask you doctor. Find a therapist. Talk to friends about it. Read about it.
Positive affirmations and their repetition, along with relaxation, are the first stepping stones to dealing with anxiety. Tomorrow morning, when you are looking at yourself in the bathroom mirror, tell yourself ten times that today is going to be a good day. Even if you aren't suffering from anxiety, do it anyway. Say it out loud. Your mind believes what you tell it. Do it every day for a week. Every time you catch a glimpse of yourself in a mirror or a shop window, tell yourself it's a good day, that life is good. Even if it isn't, it may make you smile, and that's a start.
Anxiety isn't all in the mind as it often produces physical symptoms. However, these physical symptoms are linked to negative thinking through our 'fight or flight' instincts, so make a start on positivity today.

Less than a week after signing a public letter blaming the #MeToo anti-harassment movement for spurring puritanism and unfair punishment of men, French star Catherine Deneuve has written a long statement addressing the backlash provoked by the letter and apologized to victims of "odious acts."
In her personal statement, published in national newspaper Liberation on Monday, Deneuve sought to bring some nuance to the public letter which was signed by 100 women and appeared in Le Monde last Tuesday. That letter contended that the #MeToo movement had led to a puritan crackdown on sexual behavior and that men had a right to offend and bother women.
"I have been an actress since I was 17 years old. I could obviously say that I've often been a witness of situations that were more than indelicate, or some that I know from other actresses about filmmakers who cravenly abused their power," Deneuve wrote in her new statement.
"What creates situations that are traumatizing and unbearable is always the power, the subordination or some sort of overpowering. The trap occurs when it becomes impossible to say no without risking one's job, or being subjected to humiliations and degrading sarcasm," the statement said.
Deneuve said she believed the solution would come from educating "our boys as well as our girls." She also said the solution would arise "eventually from protocols in companies allowing for legal pursuits to be immediately launched in case of harassement. I believe in justice."
Deneuve, however, insisted on the pertinence of one aspect of last week's public letter, which criticized the #MeToo anti-harassment movement for leading to a campaign of public denunciation and summary justice fueled by the media.
"I don't like this aspect of our times where each feels the right to judge, arbitrate, condemn – a society where simple denunciations on social networks lead to punishment, job losses and often lynching in the media."
Deneuve also said she did not endorse some of the women who signed the public letter and who went on to make shocking declarations in TV interviews. Referring to actress Brigitte Lahaie, who said last week in a TV interview that a woman could have an orgasm during a rape, Deneuve said that "saying on a TV channel that one can have an orgasm during a rape is worse than spitting on the face of all those women who have been victim of this crime."
Deneuve added: "Nothing in the letter pretends that harassment has some good, otherwise I would not have signed it."
The actress also addressed criticism over the fact that she wasn't a feminist champion. "May I remind [people] that I was one of the 343 sluts with Marguerite Duras and Françoise Sagan who signed the manifesto 'I had an abortion' written by Simone de Beauvoir?"
Through that manifesto, Deneuve admitted to having had an abortion when abortions were illegal in France in 1971.
"I am a free woman and I'll always be. I salute fraternally all the victims of odious acts who may have been offended by this public letter published in Le Monde. It is to them and them only that I present my apologies," said Deneuve in the conclusion to her statement Monday.

Film School is, for the most part, Krayg Burton, an Oakland indie rocker whose songwriting would encourage the invention of the adjective "eclectic" if it didn't already exist. But don't be misled -- eclectic doesn't mean disjointed. This collection hangs together exceptionally well, given the diversity of participants like Scott Kannberg of Pavement, Fuck's Kyle Statham, and Mauri Skinfill of Glitter Mini 9.
Brilliant Career's first track, "American Turnip," starts out as a simple layering of electronic beats with acoustic guitar -- elegant, with a melancholy feel -- and then changes into something more complex. Burton adds louder and heavier guitar rhythms, interspersing them with a background sample of Johnny Cash describing how "it takes a lot of imagination sometimes to write a song" and comparing the process to "just picking flowers."
The sample gets at the heart of the album. Burton's songs often start out sounding familiar -- in the style of, say, Sparklehorse, early R.E.M., or My Bloody Valentine -- only to turn around and refute those first impressions. Burton seems to be saying that if it takes a lot of imagination to write a song sometimes, listeners might have to go a bit deeper, too. They should ponder what is not the same in two songs of similar sound or structure, because change within repetition brings the possibility of something new (just as two "first dates" are never exactly the same, even if they resemble each other).
Film School's compositions are meditative and can have a lulling effect, but they are also challenging. The songs may rest in the background like soundtrack music, but they always end up earning your attention. With careful screenings of Brilliant Career, Film School's listeners will eventually realize that they have been on a date, and it turned out just fine.

The Limestone District School Board hosts more than 120 international students each year from countries such as Brazil, Italy, China, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Spain, Turkey, Vietnam, and others. Some students come for one semester (5 months), to improve their English and experience living in a new culture. Others come for a longer period in order to prepare for entering a Canadian college or university. Some students study for 4 weeks. We are often looking for homestay families for all lengths of stay.
Host families provide international students with the support that parents normally provide their own children:
Host families are compensated with a monthly stipend of $850/month paid to them directly by the Limestone District School Board.
Hosting an international student is a highly rewarding experience. Many life-long friendships have developed out of Limestone's international student homestay program.
We are currently inviting families, especially those who live in Amherstview, East Kingston (included Hwy 2 and Greenwood Park), Central Kingston (Polson Park and Strathcona Park), West Kingston (including Bayridge, Henderson Place, Waterloo Village, Woodhaven, Cat Woods, Auden Park and Collin's Bay) and Downtown, to join our pool of homestay providers.
If you are interested in learning more details, please contact Debbie Villeneuve at email@example.com or call (613) 544-7745 Ext. 290.
The Limestone District School Board is situated on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee.

Kelthos was a male Klingon who, sometime prior to 2269, became lost and trapped within the spatial anomaly within the Delta Triangle. There, he encountered the people of Elysia, and eventually became a member of the Elysian Council. Though he embraced the peaceful philosophies of Elysia, he still retained a degree of arrogance, particularly toward his Romulan colleague, Xerius, as well as toward Humans. (SCE eBook: Where Time Stands Still)
- A Klingon councilor was depicted in the TAS episode "The Time Trap", but he was given no name or dialogue. From his unridged appearance, it can be assumed his ship was lost sometime after the spread of the Qu'Vat virus in 2154.

- Facebook seems to have confirmed that employees left five-star reviews for its new Portal video-chat device on Amazon.
- The reviews were first spotted by the New York Times tech journalist Kevin Roose.
- The Facebook executive Andrew "Boz" Bosworth said in a tweet that Facebook had not asked employees to leave good reviews and that it would ask the employees to remove them.
Facebook employees have been caught leaving glowing reviews on Amazon for Facebook's new video-chat device.
Facebook released the Portal, a video-chat and smart-speaker device, in October. It's the first hardware product built and sold under the Facebook brand.
The new gadget has already faced some hardship, as Facebook acknowledged that it could collect data about its owners to help the company target ads at people.

The curious timing of Facebook's first hardware product, the $US200 "Portal"
Now it seems Facebook employees were trying to artificially inflate the device's ratings on Amazon.
The New York Times tech columnist Kevin Roose was the first to spot that stellar reviews were being left by people with the same names as Facebook employees.
As Roose also pointed out, this would be in contravention of Amazon's terms and conditions for sellers.
Roose's suspicions were later confirmed by a Facebook executive. Andrew "Boz" Bosworth, who heads up Facebook's augmented-reality and virtual-reality divisions, said in a tweet that employees had not been instructed to leave good reviews.
"We will ask them to take down," he added.
Facebook declined to comment further to Business Insider. Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

- Hours
- Full Time
We are working with one of the leading businesses in their field who are currently looking at how they can expand their overall offering to a broader market, either with existing products or to go and look for other sectors that they can get involved. They are keeping a very open mind as to the level of experience that someone has coming into this role, but what they must have is real drive to go and seek out new opportunities and bring them back to the business. This could be done by reviewing consumer trends, researching new uses of products or identifying possible products which they could start to work with. The business operates on some long timescales so they understand that this won't happen overnight.
The Job:
As outlined above, you will be responsible for delivering growth within the business, whether this is immediate or through a pipeline of activity that takes more work to achieve.
You will get out of this role, what you put in. You will be working under your own steam and drive to identify the opportunities and explore how best to make them work for the business.
Working closely with the internal teams you will additionally be their eyes and ears and be feeding back anything relevant to the business.
The Candidate:
The most important thing for this role is curiosity and inquisitiveness. You will need to examine and explore a number of avenues whether this is analysing consumer trends, speaking to current customers to explore new products or identifying this through general research.
A background / affinity with agriculture or horticulture would be a great basis to grow this role but they are very open minded as to what experience level you come in at. There is room to grow for the right person and this role will take some time to start to bear fruit.
Due to the longer term nature of what the businesses does, this role will suit someone who has patience and isn't looking for things to happen immediately all the time.
I believe, for the right person, that this role could be very exciting and rewarding for someone who is looking for something with good levels of autonomy, that is a bit different to the norm and with a business that has a long history of supporting and developing its people.

Become an Ovarian Cancer Guardian Angel!
When You are Faced with an Overwhelming Crisis …You Need Your Guardian Angels.
Most families know the stress of everyday life – paying the rates; the mortgage or the power bills.
But what about the families who suddenly face a crisis such as ovarian cancer. Even if a woman has the best famiy and friends in the world it can be tough journey … physcially, emotionally and financially!
Can you help give support for families who, through no fault of their own, are struggling to survive ovarian cancer.
Women, their family and friends living through the ovarian cancer journey don't want your charity … but there is no doubt they could do with a helping hand at various stages of the journey.
In Australia in 2018, 1580 women are expected to be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and a further 1047 will die from the disease.
Only 44 of every 100 women diagnosed are still alive five years after their diagnosis, making ovarian cancer the deadliest of the gynaecological cancers.
Not much has changed in the treatment of Ovarian Cancer for most women since the 1980s and unfortunately, with no screening test and symptoms that are hard to detect women are regularily diagnosed at an advanced stage when the cancer will ultimately be terminal.
No-one is immune to ovarian cancer including members of our community at TFF. Robyn Hosking, who is one of the reasons TFF exists today was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in late December 2015.
Robyn says, "I have received excellent (but costly) care and even with all the support I have received my journey been difficult and there are many things I wish I had understood in the early stages of my treatment that may have improved my chances of survival.
I created the Become an Ovarian Cancer Guardian Angels campaign to help families understand the possible pathways the disease can take and how their early actions may impact on their loved one's long term survival.
In one of my previous lives I worked as a management consultant in organisational change and recognise the importance of competency based training for the people undergoing the change. In my last life I was an advocate within the community for evidence based Personalised Chronic Care Plans and my latest journey has shown me:
the vital missing links that exist between medically governed chronic care programs and family based education on participating and implimenting a personalised chronic care plan
the overwhelming financial drain that prevents this education
the inequites that families face and I believe it's time to try and change these inequities immediately.
Your generous support will help us to provide two critical programs in a face to face capacity and on-line…Crossroads: The P&I Program (How to participate in and implement an evidence based chronic care plan) and Reflections.
I have had many guardian angels throughout my journey and I would have been lost without them!
Someone is waiting for you to become their guardian angel … please act today!

Individuals who train surgeons need to know how to effectively teach and evaluate surgical skills in trainees in order to produce sugeons that can provide excellent surgical care. In the past, surgery has been taught in a "see one, do one, teach one, paradigm, which is only effective with high surgical volumes unavailable to today's trainees. Additionally, medicolegal and economic pressures of today dictate that learning skills be conducted, at least in part, outside of the operating room. Effective training requires a surgical skills curriculum encorporating the use of models, mental imagery as well as more traditional didactic sessions. This issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America will provide the scaffolding to develop and implement a surgical skills curriculum and covers the following topics: Teaching pelvic anatomy, the use of computers and virtual reality, OSATS and surgical labs, evaluating surgical competency, the use of mental imagery in surgical skills teaching, as well as teaching and evaluating ultrasound skills."
