Multi-Scale Methods in Simulation—A Path to a Better Understanding of the Behaviour of Structures
Efficient and accurate simulation methods are key for all development processes in all industries. Without simulation all influences of design changes, material choices, load situations, etc., on the performances of parts, sub-systems and systems, need to be confirmed by time consuming and expensive test procedures. On the other hand, including these influences into the design process by simulation together with efficient optimisation strategies allows to balance different performances, while allowing cost-efficient and ecological manufacturing as well as keeping a low weight of the complete system at the same time. To gain accurate results in a simulation, it is not sufficient to just model the geometry correctly; a main challenge is to model the material behaviour correctly. State of the art for metal based structures is to use material data that have been gained in experiments. Especially for fatigue performances, the expected lifetime fatigue material data is derived from databases or so called material laws. This approach does not take into account any manufacturing influences, even though these can locally lead to much improved behaviour. Therefore these parts are often still over-designed with respect to fatigue. For composite materials this approach is not even valid anymore as the behaviour strongly depends on the manufacturing process. Those influences can be analysed if one looks closer, i.e. at a different scale. The behaviour at the smaller scale then defines the material behaviour at the global scale. This process may even be recursive: even smaller scales are needed for the behaviour of intermediate scales—even down to atomistic levels. It is clear that such approaches can lead to tremendous computational cost. Therefore it is a key need to keep the process efficient, on one hand by analysing the methodologies on each scale, on the other hand by intelligent choice of the best method at each location.

In-Camera 16:9 (squeeze mode) .vs Cropped Letterbox Examples
Even before buying my DVX100A, I had been wanting to buy the DVX100 since it first appeared at WEVA back in 2002. Since then, I have been doing as much as possible with available clips and involved with forum discussions in all matters relating to this fine camera.
Shortly after buying the DVX100A, I made a determination based on my understanding as well as first hand use with the DVX100A, on how Squeeze Mode is superior in quality as well as workflow to letterbox mode. I post most everywhere about this and why I believe it is so.
I was asked by Barry Green yesterday over on 2-pop to do a comparison shot between these two modes and post the results. He want some live moving tree leaves, but since there are no tree leaves here right now, I just did a couple of frame grabs of at test chart.
So, for any interested in which is better, squeeze mode or letterbox, you might want to go this link and read my explanations and take a look for yourself at the images.
Here's the link: http://www.uemforums.com/2pop/ubbthr...b=5&o=&fpart=1
Hope this helps any who are wondering which to use for 16:9 shooting.

Very interesting. I have imported the images in Vegas, resized the squeezed images to 720*480. The letter box has more resolution than the others images. S-pline tends to makes some problems, like distorsion or aliasing.
I would like to have more tests like this on the differents gamma.
It could help folks like me to decide to update or no from DVX100 to DVX100A.

squeezed image vs anamorphic adaptor
Just wondering about the anamorphic vs squeeze image comparison.
If the "squeezed image" is digitally squeezed, wouldn't the anamorphic adaptor be cleaner since it is optical.
maybe the drawback for the anamorphic adaptor is that it cannot use filters etc, as easier than on the normal lens.
Has anyone worked out a comparison of the anamorphic vs. squeeze image quality?

Hi there.
Im trying to understand why squeeze mode is being compared to letterbox mode?One is for 16x9 and the other for letterboxed 4x3.
.....Am I missing something?

I am trying to figure out squeeze mode also .. like how much rez am I losing .. I can tell some is gone. and
I know in letter box I am just chopping the top and bottom out but whats left looks sharper to me( of course I am a newbie camera owner and I could be doing something wrong). However does squeeze spread across a wide screen proper?

The reason for the comparison is to help determine if shooting squeeze mode (in-camera 16:9) will produce higher quality then shooting letterbox or 4:3 mode and cropping to 16:9 in post.
Alot has been said in the referenced post I mentioned in my inital post starting this topic. If you intersted, you might just click and read the post I linked.

Nick, The reason that everyone is comparing 16x9 and letterboxed 4x3 is because they start out the exact same way, and have the potential to end up the same, with different results. To clarify, both 16:9 and 4:3 use only a part of the 3ccds to produce the image. both use the center part of the ccd much like the way you see a cropped 16:9 image on a 4:3 TV. THe difference between these images is that 4:3 stays croped within the 4:3 frame, thus makig it about 360x720 pixels (correct me on the pixel count guys). The squeezed mode takes that same image and actually stretches the vertical resolution back to 480pixels. You can then edit the footage in a true 16:9 timeline having the full vertical resolution to work with. On a 4:3 television, these two images will look the same (after having gone to dvd or back out to tape after editing). However, you can take your 4:3 image and stretch it the same way in post making it 480pixels high as well. This is what is being compared, whether stretching it in camera (before compression) or stretching it after compresseion in you post production will give you better results. And looking qat Rodgers test results it seems clear that squeeze mode is the winner, which I actually leave my camera in 90% of the time.

I would say there is (or was) really no doubt in-camera 16:9 (squeeze mode) is the winner over letterbox or 4:3 mode in overall quality. It is however less of a winner then I had predicted it would be. None the less it is superior quality-wise and add to that the easier/quicker work in post for true 16:9 output and it really make almost no sense to shoot in anything but squeeze mode when final output is slated for 16:9.
About the only reason for any other mode is if you were going to tape where you need the letterbox bars or really feel the need to have some head room to adjust your 16:9 crop window in post.
I do wish someone would do some similar tests using the DVX100A in squeeze mode against the early model DVX100 using the anamorphic adapter and also the DVX100A with the adapter. It would be a very telling test for sure and put to rest the idea of "how much better" the anamorphic produces 16:9 footage.
My belief is that due to the focus issues with the anamorphic and to some degree barrel distortion, those of us lucky enough to have the DVX100A are already doing the best 16:9 right from the camera without the anamorphic lens.
Can someone please prove me wrong??? I'm sure that a bunch of DVX100A users would like to know for sure.

Oh,...I see...So let me get this straight.
For 16x9 delivery,squeeze mode wins.(obviously)
And for letterboxed 4x3 delivery,squeeze mode???...
Sorry for the hassles,but Barry had me convinced 4x3 letterbox was the way to go for 4x3 letterbox delivery.

For 16:9 delivery, squeeze mode can deliver a slightly higher quality output than stretched letterbox, primarily because you avoid a recompression cycle on post-processing.
For 4:3 delivery, letterbox mode will deliver higher quality than unsqueezed/letterboxed squeeze mode.

When i shoot in squeeze mode, i can capture into premiere fine, but when i take it into after effects things fall apart, it goes back to the squished look or squeezes it again.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Just right click on the file in after effects and click, interpret footage. Check the 16:9 box and your set. or you can just use the transform controls to spread it out. There really is no difference the way the file is save whether it be 4:3 or 16:9, it is the same resolution (720x480). The difference comes into the 16:9 flags that are set to tell your NLE or whatever you use that the pixels need to be 1.2 instead of .9 for normal dv. I think those numbers are right, but it's somewhere around there.

I think Rodger is right...
I think the real question is what's the different between the squeeze mode compare with the AG-LA7200 Anamorphic Lens adapter? I think for utlimate picture quality, the anamorphic lens maybe a little better since the optical lens do the trick... but how much different? a 9 to 10... Is that worth the USD 800?
By the way, once you use the squeeze mode... the source will automatically add-in a 16:9 flags - is that correct? If yes... why the adobe premiere can reconize it and the adobe aftereffect can not? it really don't make any sense...
Question... if i open the premiere in 720x480 and import the squeeze mode inside... and make the clip set as it original aspect ratio... will the clip transform back to 4x3???

A good reason for shooting in squeeze mode is that it is most compatible between 4:3 and 16:9 sets when the delivery is DVD. The DVD player automatically adjusts for the set format and will play the video at full screen on HDTV and letterboxed on SDTV. If you shoot letterbox and put it on DVD, it will pillarbox on 16:9 sets...most folks object to that.
BTW, here is a technical report that has been posted before that explains very well the technical aspects of DV.

Most people end a tough workout with a hot shower, but maybe we should be breaking out the colored pencils instead. A heart-pumping gym session can boost creativity for up to two hours afterwards Exercise enhances creativity independently of mood. Steinberg H, Sykes EA, Moss T, Lowery S, LeBoutillier N, Dewey A.

Next time you need a burst of creative thinking, hit the trails for a long walk or run to refresh the body and the brain at the same time.
Previous studies from her lab have also shown that the exercise is linked to changes in the secretion of stress hormones like epinephrine (a.k.a. adrenaline) and norepinephrine. "Our work has shown that each moderate, relatively short exercise bout exerts regulatory/suppression effects over inflammatory activities of immune cells," says Hong, "and in order to maximize this 'benefit,' repeated and regular exercise is recommended. In fact, we have also found that higher physical fitness is associated with better regulation of inflammatory activities of immune cells through stress hormones even among obese individuals."

This is a particularly cool one. Neuroscientists used to believe the brain was the only organ incapable of growing new cells—which partly makes sense, since we need our brains to be relatively stable over time, to keep our memories intact and to keep us us. But in recent years, it's become clear that the brain, too, can grow new neurons, in a process called neurogenesis. And what seems to spur the growth of new neurons, perhaps above other activities, is aerobic exercise. (Other things, like meditation and antidepressant medication, have also been shown to trigger brain new cell growth.) The area of the brain that seems most capable of growing new cells is the hippocampus, the seat of learning and memory. It's also the area that's known to "shrink" in depression, and particularly in dementia—so the fact that we may have some control over its health is exciting.
Ever hit the hay after a long run or weight session at the gym? For some, a moderate workout can be the equivalent of a sleeping pill, even for people with insomnia Effects of moderate aerobic exercise training on chronic primary insomnia.

Another way lunges differ from traditional squats is that they train each leg individually. This is known as unilateral training. Rather than solely improving your strength, unilateral exercises increase your balance and coordination. This brings your core and back strength into play. Focusing on one leg at a time with lunges can even help with symmetry and muscular imbalances.
If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you know that exercise should be an essential part of your routine. But the benefits of physical activity go far beyond just physical fitness. Increasingly, more and more research is showing that working out regularly can boost other aspects of your health as well, including cognitive function and emotional well-being.
Exercise stretches muscles and joints, which in turn can increase flexibility and help prevent injuries. Exercise may also improve balance by increasing strength of the tissues around joints and throughout the body, thus helping to prevent falls. Weight-bearing exercise, such as brisk walking and weight training, strengthens bones and helps prevent osteoporosis. Exercise often can improve function and reduce pain in people with osteoarthritis, although regimens must be developed specifically for each person, and exercises that put undue strain on joints, such as jumping and running, may need to be avoided.
The home workout for beginners mentioned above provide for a toned body and a relaxed mind. While doing exercises on the floor you should use a mat. A typical beginners' workout plan should include these exercises. After a couple of months of doing them you could move on to advanced levels. Once you are keen on embarking on a home workout you could consult an experienced trainer who could work out the exercise plan for a beginner.
Exercise can have a number of emotional benefits. Stress can be caused by elevated levels of the hormones cortisol, adrenaline, and norepinephrine. Exercise lowers these hormones, and increases serotonin, otherwise known as the happy hormone, which helps reduce stress. Working out can help keep depression and anxiety at bay. Plus, coping with mood disorders that are often associated with stress can be a little bit easier when you are in good physical shape.
HOW TO DO IT: Step to your left and lower your body into a lateral lunge, placing both hands on the floor. Without moving your feet, lift your hands and hips and shift your weight over your right foot, so you end up in a right-side lunge. Alternate back and forth for 30 to 60 seconds. To really kick up the burn, turn this movement into a monkey shuffle by simultaneously loading your hands, lifting your hips and shuffling your feet side-to-side between right and left lunge positions.
After ingestion, carbs are converted into glucose and burned for fuel or stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles for later use. According to the European Journal of Applied Physiology, each gram of glycogen stored in the muscles holds at least 3 grams of water. The more carbs you eat, the more water you'll hold, which can make your arms look fuller.
It's unpleasant, but it's true — as we get older, our brains get a little... hazy. As aging and degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's kill off brain cells, the noggin actually shrinks, losing many important brain functions in the process. While exercise and a healthy diet can't "cure" Alzheimer's, they can help shore up the brain against cognitive decline that begins after age 45 Exercise counteracts declining hippocampal function in aging and Alzheimer's disease. Intlekofer KA, Cotman CW. Neurobiology of Disease. 2012 June 30.. Working out, especially between age 25 and 45, boosts the chemicals in the brain that support and prevent degeneration of the hippocampus, an important part of the brain for memory and learning.
Strength training at the gym or taking a class at a fitness studio is great, but sometimes, you just want to get in your workout at home—or on vacation, or on a work trip, or wherever you may be. While most of us don't have round-the-clock access to a full gym stocked with weights and machines, the truth is that you really can work your entire body without them. Of course, equipment can help and is great for progressing and diversifying a workout program. But if you want to just get moving and do some strength and cardio work wherever you are, that's completely doable with a bodyweight workout.
At least 35% of all cancer deaths may be related to overweight and lack of activity, the Seattle Cancer Research Centre has found. Exercise is believed to speed the passage of food through the colon, thereby reducing the amount of time that any toxins are in contact with the body. Overweight people also tend to have more insulin, which promotes the growth of tumours. For women, exercise reduces the level of oestrogen, a hormone linked to breast cancer.
First, let's talk about the nutrition aspect. The number one thing you have to do is get yourself in a calorie deficit. What that means is that you are burning more calories than you are consuming on a daily basis. You also want to consume a healthy diet and limit alcohol to stay on track to your body fat and weight loss goals. Avoid eating too much fast food and focus on lean proteins that will help you build lean muscle.

If you're ready to move on from classic Bulgarian split squats, Swan's amped-up variation gets your upper body in on the action for a true total-body exercise. "This combination move works your legs, butt, chest, back, arms, and core," she says. "And it not only hits all the major muscle groups—it also lets you work on balance." Give it a shot and you'll see why.
The high-intensity part of this workout is known as HIIT or high-intensity interval training. We're going to be using a 1/2-pound energy rope by CrossRope, which you can get for 10% off if you click that link. This rope, along with the heavy rope and agility rope, are what we use in every one of our videos and exercises because it's the best we've found on the market. This rope is a little heavier so it takes your fat burning to the next level. If you have a different jump rope that's cool too, just use the one you have. But by using a heavier rope, you're adding more resistance so you're going to burn more calories in less time. That's specifically why we're using this rope because we want to be as efficient as possible when looking to burn calories and fat loss.

Exercise has long been correlated with a longer life, but it's only recently started to become clear why this might be. Studies, like a new one in the journal Preventive Medicine which found that exercise is linked to longer caps at the ends of chromosomes, have helped flesh this out a bit more. These caps, called telomeres, naturally shorten as we age, with each cell division. People who live a long time have telomeres that are in better shape than those who don't—but there's a lot we can do to affect the rate at which they shorten over the years. The team behind the new study looked at data from CDC's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, and found that for people who exercised regularly, their telomeres were 140 base pairs longer on average than sedentary people's. Which correlates to being years "younger" than their sedentary peers.
Perform each of these exercises for 30 seconds at a time to begin with and gradually build up to 60 seconds by adding five to 10 second increments as your metabolic conditioning improves. Keep your heart rate high and your rest periods between exercises at 30 seconds or less. Finally, alternate between sets of "non-competitive" moves — i.e. switch between exercises that work your upper body and lower body or front and backside. Doing so will minimize fatigue and help you keep up the intensity throughout the workout.
Not feeling up to heavy lifting? Try doing more reps at a lower weight instead and you'll be kissing that arm fat goodbye in no time. Researchers at Canada's McMaster University studied a group of 20-something men over a 12-week period, with half the study subjects lifting heavy weight and doing low reps, and another group lifting lighter weights for higher reps. The Journal of Applied Physiology study found that both groups increased their strength and muscle size by approximately the same amount, so if you're relatively new to lifting or don't feel up to hitting the heavy weights just yet, don't worry; lighter lifts will still help you ditch the fat while gaining muscle tone.
Drink at least eight glasses of water in between meals to control your appetite. This will support metabolism and burn fat. Do not drink too much water with your meals as it can dilute the stomach acids and impair digestion. Drinking pure spring water detoxifies your system and balances your stress hormones. Sodas, coffee, and sugary drinks should be avoided.
Think you can't get a good workout while you're sitting? Think again. In fact, the seated lat pulldown is one of the best exercises for toning those arms in a hurry. Using a pulldown machine, grip the bar and pull to chest level, and then raise again. This exercise makes it easy to build your biceps quickly and helps strengthen and tone your shoulders, which can make your arms look leaner, as well.
While a Bulgarian split squat isn't technically a zero-equipment move, they can still be done pretty much anytime, anywhere. "It activates many muscle groups and can be performed with any lifted surface, like a couch, bench, small table, or even an airport chair," says DiDomenico. The move is a major lower-body burner—you'll feel it in your quads, glutes, inner thighs, hamstrings, and even your calves.
It zaps anxiety. Ever notice that you can start a workout feeling stressed and anxious, and end it feeling good? It isn't in your head. Or, actually, it is: According to a new study from Princeton University, exercise appears to change the chemistry of the brain by causing the release of GABA, a neurotransmitter that helps quiet brain activity and minimize anxiety. The study found that people who ran regularly had a low reaction to stressful situations, even if they hadn't run in more than 24 hours.

Exhale and use your triceps to lift the weight until your right arm is fully extended behind you. Supinate by turning your palm up as your arm moves back, so that your palm faces the ceiling. Move only your forearm and do not use your left hand or your legs. Pause once your right arm is fully extended, inhale, and then exhale as you bring the free weight back to the starting position.
Then, step your left foot directly behind you (about 2 feet) and bend both knees to lower into a reverse lunge, creating two 90-degree angles with your legs. In this positioning, your shoulders should be directly above your hips and your chest should be upright (not leaning forward or back). Your right shin should be perpendicular to the floor and your right knee should be stacked above your right ankle. Your butt and core should be engaged.
Sweating it out in the gym is a known de-stressor. Harvard Medical School has shown that aerobic exercise helps curb stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline (as long as you're not overdoing it), while also flooding your system with feel-good endorphins. It also ups the calming, good-mood brain chemicals serotonin and dopamine. So while exercise itself is actually putting low-level physical stress on the body, it can be pretty mentally relaxing.
Many people who suffer from exercise-induced asthma, understandably try to avoid exercise. But sports medicine specialists say it's possible for asthmatics to continue exercising if they use preventive medications wisely and avoid certain triggers that exacerbate attacks. Exercise-induced asthma can be made worse by cold, dry air or air containing high levels of pollen or pollutants. The extra effort made to stay fit pays off in fewer or milder asthma attacks overall and a need for less medication.
A Incorporate more of cardio in your regime in order to burn more calories. Walking or jogging can help. Yoga or using a skipping rope can also help you lose fat. Playing a sport is another great way to tone your arms. Besides being fun, Ttennis or squash are great games since they also focus mainly on your arms. Pushups, arm rotation and tricep dips are all examples of exercises without the use of weights.
Whether we're fully conscious of it or not, we're always looking for how to be happy. And exercise is one of the most obvious steps to take, as it's not a coincidence that you feel better after a good workout: It's science. A Penn State University study found that people who exercised, whether it was a mild, moderate or vigorous workout, had more pleasant feelings than those who didn't. (1)

Toy Story soars to the top of the Irish box office after record-breaking opening weekend
It seems the toys are back in town and their earning power is bigger than ever.
Just days after it hit screens, Disney and Pixar's Toy Story 4 is already Ireland's number one film, taking almost €1.6m in its opening weekend.
The result means the highly anticipated film takes the record for the biggest ever 3-day opening weekend for an animation.
It wasn't just the Irish audience who were impressed with the fourth instalment following Buzz Lightyear, Woody and friends as the new Toy Story achieved critical acclaim with a 98pc certification on review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes.
It also became the number one film globally with $238m taken worldwide over the weekend.
Walt Disney Studios' enjoyed both the number one and two spot at the Irish box office at the weekend with Aladdin still flying high after five weeks of release with a total to date of almost €3m.
In celebration of Toy Story 4's global number one position, Disney yesterday launched a set of images shot by world renowned toy photographer Mitchell Wu.
The images feature Toy Story favourites Woody and Buzz Lightyear, along with new characters introduced in the new film - Forky, Duke Caboom, Ducky and Bunny, and the returning new look Bo Peep.
"I'm a huge fan of the Toy Story movies and was delighted when I was asked to work on this project" said Wu.
"My aim was to create images that capture both the inherently fun and emotive core of the movie whilst showing off the personality of the key characters from Toy Story 4," he added.

A woman (Jodie Foster) struggles to recover from a brutal attack by setting out on a mission for revenge.
2008 | Kandidat: Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama
2008 | Kandidat: Best International Actress (Audience Award)
A movie that's a lot better than it really should have been. Director Neil Jordan elevates a mediocre script into something with style and subtlety, helped along by excellent performances from Jodie Foster and Terence Howard. The heavily coincidence-relying story is predictable and stretches credibility at every turn, and is capped off by an improbable ending. A very uneven film.
Vigilantism, Jodie Foster, and Neil Jordan mean I'm in, but I was held off by bad reviews. It's okay, only instead of our brave vigilante taking to the streets and searching out trouble, she circumstantially stumbles into it (VO is aware of this strangeness). It has great camerawork and some nice dialog, but one wishes with the remnants of camp that Jordan went all In Dreams on the script. --PolarisDiB
Dear New York, I hate your daily coincidences, you are predictable and stretch credibility at every turn, most of my days with you are capped off by an improbable ending. Such an uneven life...
regarding this movie, ditto on Christopher Smith's comments
Maybe not an earthshattering, new dark exploration as we had hoped for from dear Jordan but not that bad either. The other half of the credit goes to Jodie Foster for its overall merit.
Christopher and Laura said it best. I liked the ending as improbable as it was (it fit with the rest of the movie on that note). Terance Howard is always the man!
Picture any ridiculous 'Death Wish' sequel or knock-off. Now imagine that DW sequel or knock-off desperately trying to be taken seriously--The Brave One.
Squandered talent, time wasted.
sweet revenge... good & thrilling movie, but nothing really new - a very surprising end.

Right here are some wonderful anniversary gifts for initial anniversaries. Are you browsing for a new fundraising approach due to the fact you are exhausted of offering gift wrap, cookies or the like? Why not replace these with printed wristbands.

Like any other video games, there are guidelines in playing poker and I"m not talking about the principles of the game. People are the exact same debossed wristbands online or offline. I"m speaking about the guidelines for talking to every single other, employing the chat program in the area, and normally currently being social. Scribble paint or glitter paint pens are optional items, but do include sparkle and variety to the jars (a great assortment of glitter or scribble paint will cost less than $6). Businesses jumped on the tragedy 10 many years ago. Some presented proceeds going to benefit this student or that family that had been impacted by the Columbine tragedy. Other individuals provided T-Shirts and cool wristbands. All in an effort to help the local community and let other people to connect to the sadness. I don"t discourage this sort of marketing. Sticker assortment in a relevant theme. I use the stickers that frequently come in the mail as promotional items for kids"s magazines, such as travel stickers, Disney or flower stickers. If you don"t have any stickers, little magazine images will also operate. On the other hand, if your price range is scarce, you can consider to do it yourself.

Once again, ask a buddy for support just in situation the task too difficult to accomplish. Without a doubt, as soon as you"re completed with your custom printed promotional t-shirt venture, you will undoubtedly impress the individuals with how you infuse a minor of your self to what you wear. Really, it is so cool to be you.
BEIJING - China"s top legislator on Tuesday called for closer connections between the National People"s Congress (NPC) and NPC deputies as well as local legislatures, to improve the quality of work of the people"s congresses in the new era.
Li Zhanshu, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Standing Committee of the NPC, made the remarks at a meeting with chiefs of the standing committees of provincial-level people"s congresses.
To let the deputies to people"s congresses better play their roles is an important manifestation of the adherence to and improvement of the running of the country by the people and a significant foundation of the vitality within the work of people"s congresses, Li noted.
He thus asked people"s congresses across the country to respect the principal status of the deputies, raise the awareness of service for the deputies and ensure the deputies fulfill their duties in accordance with the law.
The NPC and its standing committee"s relationship with local people"s congresses and their standing committees is not one of superior and subordinate, which is an important political principle, Li continued.
To strengthen the connection between the national and local legislatures, the most important thing lies in improving the interaction and synergy between them in ideological and political construction and major tasks, according to Li.
He also encouraged further communication, coordination, exchanges and other forms of cooperation between the NPC and local people"s congresses in their work, to jointly push forward the general work of the people"s congresses.personalized bracelets for himpride rubber braceletgym rubber braceletspersonality bracelets and charmsred rubber bracelet

Notre-Dame de Chrétienté is pleased to announce that the departure of the Chartres Pilgrimage will be from St. Sulpice Church - the second-largest chuch in Paris - on June 8, 2019.
The pilgrims will rendezvous at 5.30 am, with the traditional Latin Mass celebrated at 7 am .
Notre-Dame de Chrétienté thanks the archdiocese as well as the civil and military authorities for their understanding and efforts to find this solution that allows us to begin our pilgrimage in Paris and on a route close to the one we usually use.
Mass will be celebrated by Father Julian Large, Provost of the Oratory of London, assisted by Father Henri Lefer (FSSP, Chaplain of the Paris-Est region) and Canon Martial Pinoteau (ICRSP, Chaplain of North Region). Mgr Alexis Leproux, Vicar General and representative of the Archbishopric of Paris, will give the homily. The sendoff will be given by the Abbot Alexis Garnier, Chaplain General of Notre-Dame de Chrétienté.
The 42 family chapters and the 22 children's chapters will meet at Igny on Saturday, June 8 at 11:30 am for Mass celebrated by Father Guilhem de Labarre, of the Fraternité St Pierre, chaplain of the Order Service.
The pilgrimage under the theme of the Peace of Christ through the Kingship of Christ is an invitation to conversion through Catholic Tradition and the Rosary for the restoration of Christianity.

Fr. Celatus: The Last Word/Angry Missionaries of Mercy
On May 19—and in the spirit of Pope Francis—St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Winter Park, Florida, will host an interfaith Ramadan dinner.
Why? Because, as is explained on St. Margaret Mary's website (which includes the graphic below), they seek to follow the example set by Pope Francis:
With his ominous looking goatee, shaved head, forearm tattoos and 6'8" frame, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman looks like he belongs at the end of the Philadelphia 76ers' bench.
However, basketball isn't his game.
Rather, Fetterman has been doing a lot of tacit dribbling throughout the Commonwealth on what he calls "a listening tour" on the legalization of "recreational" marijuana. The town-hall type meetings have been proceeding non-stop since February with its goal of visiting all of the state's 67 counties by mid-June.
Last Wednesday evening, that tour brought Fetterman to the 2nd Street Community Center in Northumberland. In reality, this "listening tour" was over before it began and is simply a campaign for the impending legalization of marijuana.
Anyone familiar with the issue will tell you that when Gov. Tom Wolfe signed legislation legalizing medical marijuana back in April 2016, it was just a matter of time before Pennsylvania joined the other 10 states that have legalized both medicinal and recreational usage.
The only surprise is that it took this long to get the pot train moving along its well-greased tracks.
Fetterman claims he is unbiased and has no "pre-arrived-at conclusions," but a striking one-minute video complied by the Pennsylvania Family Council proves otherwise, highlighting statements that he is steadfast about legalization: https://pafamily.org/2019/04/fettermanconclusion/. Fetterman is as raw as he is tall. He insists, "My expression is let's go full-on Colorado in Pennsylvania. We're arguing about @#$&ing marijuana."
Fetterman, endorsed by Bernie Sanders and Equality PA
Facts are certainly stubborn things and according to the Denver Post and the Institute for Families, going "full-on Colorado" produces a plethora of problems. Since legalization, the crime rate in Colorado has increased 11 times faster than the rest of the nation. Colorado's Bureau of Investigation reports an 8.3 percent increase in property crimes and 18.6 percent increase in violent crimes, while traffic deaths involving drivers who tested positive for marijuana more than doubled.
A study by the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice found of the 4,000 drivers tested for marijuana in 2016, 73 percent were found to have the drug in their system. Presently, Colorado holds the top spot for first-time marijuana use among youth in the country with more retail marijuana stores than Starbucks and McDonalds combined.
State Rep. Cris Dush, a Republican from Jefferson County and Pennsylvania Family Institute President Michael Geer insinuated Fetterman's events are weighted in favor of legalization supporters. Fetterman disagrees, but claims there's near-unanimous support for legalization.
In the DuBois Courier-Express, Dush said he did his own "16-year listening tour," while working for the Department of Corrections as a correctional officer. Dush called marijuana "a stepping-stone drug and possible cause of mental health issues." Northumberland County Rep. Kurt Masser had no comment and State Senator John Gordner did not respond to my inquiry. Here's hoping that these two consistent conservatives are not sliding down that weed-filled rabbit hole.
All the drug and alcohol and law enforcement professionals I know agree with Dush and if that in itself isn't a full-staffed red flag, what is?
Not only are marijuana users more likely to start using opiates, but the National Academy of Medicine reports that using "is likely to increase the risk of schizophrenia and other psychoses; the higher the use, the greater the risk." Between 2006 and 2014, emergency room visits for marijuana-induced psychosis tripled to 90,000.
It is stone-cold crazy that legalized marijuana is becoming a reality. Led by organizations like the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), pot propagandists have been operating for over a half century to convince anyone who would listen that marijuana is harmless and healthy. Nationwide, folks like Fetterman and their political allies are doing everything they can to paint lipstick on the pig of drug addiction, while selling out for another revenue stream for state governments.
According to the Taxfoundation.org, the state of Washington levies a 37 percent sales tax. Leave it to politicians to be greedier than dope dealers. The growers, distributors and smokers have no say, which is clearly a case of taxation without inhalation.
Bill Clinton anyone?
There are plenty of folks who would have you believe that marijuana is not an addictive drug. However, the politicians that are hooked on the tax dollars it brings to their state coffers, tells a far different story.
Legalization, they claim, would end the illegal marijuana trade, but because of state taxes, adding to the cost, the illegal drug industry will endure and continue to profit as they will be able to undersell the competition while remaining tax free. The only difference between those lawmakers like Fetterman, who support its legalization and the dealers on the street, is that the dealers don't need to lie about the poison they peddle.
If you are still unconvinced there's Alex Berenson's, "Marijuana, Mental illness, and Violence" in the January 2019 issue of 'Imprimis' – an exceptional publication produced by Hillsdale College that is available free online – https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/marijuana-mental-illness-violence. Berenson's essay is sobering, and he pulls no punches on why this nationwide campaign for legalization is a debacle of the first-order and is perilous to those who use and debasing to the nation. Berenson explains that "in the 1970s and 1980s, marijuana generally contained less than 5 percent THC. Today, the marijuana sold at legal dispensaries often contains 25 percent."

The marijuana lobby has been blowing smoke for years about the drug's safety. Advocates say marijuana is a medicine, not an intoxicant, and that legalization can slow the opioid epidemic. Not true, Berenson argues, pointing to an American Journal of Psychiatry study that shows "that people who use cannabis are more likely to start using opioids later."
Even the house organ of Liberaldom, the New York Times, in an op/ed said: "the legalization of marijuana is a serious and growing threat to public health and public safety."
We have gone past permitting, and now endorse debauched societal behavior.
The growing political train of legalizing marijuana, will continue as the tax windfall will be too much to pass up, while states ignore its established social and health problems.
Marijuana use will find its place as another risk-free exercise under the ideological eccentricities of the ever-emerging Nanny States of America. The counterculture has become the culture and the Left isn't going to let the facts, science or common sense inhibit its onslaught.
American society has smoked the peace pipe with marijuana, while making war on tobacco and it's only a matter of time before you reap what we sow.
We need to stop pretending marijuana is a benign and innocuous drug.

During Easter week, a bill was passed which beggars belief. Minnesota House Democrats voted in favor of teaching pornography and sexual perversion as part of the Minnesota House Education Omnibus Bill, HF2400, the offending section of which is a two-page mandate requiring "Sexual Health Education" curriculum, also known as Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE).
Simply put, CSE is pornographic. And by "pornographic" I don't mean in the hyperbolic sense of an exaggerated description of something which maybe a few Mormon or Fundamentalist Christian groups might find offensive. No, this is the real thing, i.e., sketched images of men and women engaging in what back in the 1980's was known as "kinky sex"-- what civilized people (if they mentioned it at all) would have called perversion, a word which no longer seems to phase anyone.
But if teaching 4th grade kids the ins and outs of sodomy does not rise to the level of perversion, then quite obviously "perversion" has no meaning.
On Easter Friday, the Kansas Supreme Court filed an opinion which held abortion is a "natural right." Hodes & Nauser, MDs, P.A., et al. v. Derek Schmidt, et al., Case No. 114,153 (Kan. Sup. Ct., April 26, 2019).
The opinion is remarkable for its legal fluency. Anyone familiar with the Court's output must wonder at its author. The opinion was filed "Per curiam," meaning it was authored collectively by the Court. But the gaps in law and logic are deftly handled, and the thing conveys such a diabolical confidence in deceit that it appears to flow from a power beyond the justices.
A detailed refutation of the opinion would be pointless. It is evident by now that American constitutional law is largely a matter of will, not reason. The desired result can be gained by any means necessary. One example here will suffice.
The Court explained that this sentence of the Kansas Constitution implicitly recognizes a natural right to abortion: "All men are possessed of equal and inalienable natural rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." The Court did not once in its 87-page opinion examine the right to "life" which is explicitly protected in the same sentence. This is pure power, not legal judgment.
The opinion is nevertheless an interesting exercise in power, revealing more than the Court probably intended. As already mentioned, the Court did not posit a constitutional right so much as a natural right.
According to the Court, the Kansas Constitution merely recognized the natural right to abortion already held by the people who drafted and ratified the document. The Court's approach therefore grounded abortion in human nature, which the Court assumed does not change, rather than in constitutional law, which of course changes all the time!
The Court's strategy accomplished two things, rhetorically speaking. First, it allowed the Court to scorn any rejection of abortion as impossibly regressive. The only justice to dissent, the Hon. Caleb Stegall, properly noted that in the Court's "imagined world, the Liberty Bell rings every time a baby in utero loses her arm."
Second, it allowed the Court to play passive-aggressive. No, the Court claimed, its exercise of jurisdiction over innocent human life was not an aggressive use of government power. No, the Court claimed, its rejection of the "majoritarian" opinion in Kansas favoring restrictions on abortion was not aggressive in the least. The Court instead posed as a passive barrier to unreasonable actors who would otherwise attack the natural right to abortion.
Justice Stegall devoted most of his dissent to this pose. He argued the case was not "not only about abortion policy," but was "more elementally about the structure of our republican form of government." According to him, "[t]he structural idea that gave birth to Kansas as a political community, which has achieved consensus support across most of our history, is that the proper conditions for just rule are met via participatory consent to secure and promote the common welfare." (Emphasis in original.) The justice concluded his dissent as follows:
At the outset, I noted that this case isn't just about the policy of abortion, it is more basically about the structure of our government. While true, this description fails to account for a strange but persistent symbiosis between the two. Abortion has become the judicially preferred policy tail wagging the structure of government dog. For the majority, the settled and carefully calibrated republican structure of our government must give way, at every turn, to the favored policy. But in my considered judgment, constitutional structure is the very thing securing and guaranteeing the full range of human liberty. History and reason suggest that those who, in the name of liberty, tear down that edifice will wind up out in the political elements, unsheltered and exposed to the cold wind of every arbitrary power. (Emphasis in original.)
Justice Stegall's argument for limited government is noble, but it feels passed-by. The Roman gods which gave life to the ancient Republic (or so the Romans believed) could not be bothered to save the Republic once it passed to Empire. Such Romans as mourned the loss of the Republic were not heard. The Roman gods first created the Republic, and they then created the Empire—the gods moved on.
Here as well, the American gods have moved on. It turns out that government power based on social contract, one American god Justice Stegall invokes, is actually at the core of the Court's opinion. Justice Stegall is of course correct that the people of Kansas have not given the Court power to establish abortion as a natural right. But the Court is correct that the people of Kansas cannot give any branch of government a power they themselves lack, specifically (in the Court's view) a power to restrict abortion. What else could a natural right to abortion mean, but that the people cannot give government power to restrict that right? The Court is further correct that the people established it to decide disputed cases.
So, despite the truth found in the dissent, the overwhelming power of the Court remains unchanged. The Court's power can be exercised with restraint by virtuous people, as Justice Stegall asks, but power is available to the vicious as well. The Court has spoken on abortion in Kansas, and under the current system of government, the rest will listen.
Praying to the American gods therefore will not bring limited government back to Kansas. Just as the Roman government was ultimately restrained not by increased devotion to the pagan gods, but by increased devotion to the True God, the governments of Kansas and the rest of the country will be restrained only when they acknowledge the true source of their power.
Government power cannot come from the people, contrary to the common piety. Individuals lack the most basic power over others, such as taxing and incarcerating. Since individuals lack such power, a multitude are in the same boat. The interesting thing about the Court's opinion is that it tends toward agreement. If the people cannot give what they by nature lack, in this instance the power to restrict abortion, the same is true for all government functions.
In contrast, a Power which creates the common order may logically grant government subsidiary power over that order. Most governments throughout history have seen it that way. Revelation further teaches that the True God gives power to government under certain terms. See Mt. 28: 18-20; Rom. 13:1-7. Those terms do not include jurisdiction over innocent human life, a power God retains to Himself. See Ex. 20:13. Therefore no government may claim jurisdiction over innocent human life, even when purporting to hand that life to another.
Taking God's offer of power without God's intended limits is characteristic of sin. Sin began with Lucifer, whose intellect exceeded the combined intellects of all justices who have ever lived. Yet Lucifer's great intellect did not stop him from falling. Anyone who similarly grasps at God's power risks following Lucifer into damnation. The Kansas Supreme Court cannot stop it.
Even the law of murder can be changed:
Say "therapeutic", and the thing's arranged:
Pattern of heroic sacrifice,
Star of devotion in her children's eyes,
The pregnant mother summons good advice
It is not murder if the child's not seen;
This is what sentimental ethics mean.
—James McAuley, "A Letter to John Dryden"

On October 15, 2018, Canons William Avis and John O'Connor of the Institute of Christ the King formally began oversight of our Traditional Latin Mass parish here in Pittsburgh, which until then had been under diocesan control. They offered a Solemn High Mass on their first Sunday with us, followed by a social to enable us to welcome them to Pittsburgh. Since then, at every Mass we benefit from their meticulous and reverent manner of offering the Holy Sacrifice, and have found them to be quite personable and very dedicated to serving their flock.
We were blessed to have Fr. James Dolan as our pastor for the previous six years. We are grateful for his dedication to the traditional Mass and to us, and we miss him. But given the ongoing implosion of the diocese, all of the steadily falling number of priests are needed to prop up the NewChurch model a little bit longer. The powers that be are no longer willing, or perhaps even able, to spare a priest for us.
While all of the novus ordo parishes are now in clusters, and many more church closings are in the offing, all under the Orwellian-sounding diocesan slogan of "On Mission For The Church Alive", our numbers increased significantly immediately upon the Institute's arrival, and we continue to grow. We see more and more new faces, new young families, and even some folks who used to attend years ago are now reappearing.
This past Holy Week, it was the first time for all but the oldest of us to experience the pre-1955 Holy Week liturgies, as they were before Bugnini and Co. had begun their dirty work some fifteen years before the novus ordo. The Institute is one of the traditional apostolates which had been granted permission by the PCED to use these liturgies on an experimental basis.
All this is laying the groundwork for an exciting future for one of the oldest TLM congregations in the nation. Although we have occupied St. Boniface Church for 25 years, we share it with the novus ordo, and have had to operate under their restrictions and with very limited facilities. Moreover, from the beginning our priests have never been allowed to live in the onsite rectory, unjustly forcing them to commute. But eventually we will be on our own. Rumor has it that we will be moving to another traditional church a few miles away, where the Canons are already in residence. But wherever our new church home is, and whenever we move there, once we are established, with the Canons living onsite, we anticipate a gradual flowering of parish life and activities, as is often seen in other traditional apostolates. Deo Gratias!
The God of 'Ultimate Inclusion'
An April 15 article on Cruxnow.com's website is entitled, Irish archbishop: A church that marginalizes is a 'God-less church.' It states that the Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, "was speaking April 13 during the celebration marking the 175th anniversary of the arrival of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul in Ireland. According to Crux, "Archbishop Diarmuid Martin said God is not 'a God just of rules and norms,' but a God 'who prizes the freedom that enables each one of us to be the person that we are created to be.'"
The 2019 Easter Sunday Massacre in Sri Lanka has left at least 300 Christians dead and as many as 500 wounded. Sri Lankan government officials blamed the Islamic group National Thowheeth Jama'ath for the senseless bombing that has rocked the country and terrorized the Christian minority community.
The victims—mostly Catholic—of the Massacre were attending Easter Sunday Mass as St. Sebastian's Catholic Church in Negombo and St. Anthony's Catholic Shrine in Colombo. The evangelical victims were attending Zion Church in the eastern city of Batticaloa.
Yes, the victims of the Massacre were Christian. Does it violate hate crime laws to report what actually happened in Sri Lanka? Must we come up with more euphemisms? Judging from the bizarre reportage thus far, it's difficult to tell.
I don't remember the mainstream media telling us that "worshippers" were slaughtered by an unnamed "extremist" in Christchurch. In that case, the world was immediately informed that fifty Muslim worshippers in two Christchurch mosques were slaughtered by Brenton Tarrant--a 'suspected white supremacist'. Within in a few hours of that horror, we had the shooter's name, nationality, photos and even his date of birth.
Not so much in the case of the Easter Sunday Massacre in Sri Lanka, where mainstream media have been bending over backwards not to report the facts. Mustn't upset the prevailing Christophobic narrative, after all.
Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton took the subterfuge to a point well beyond the absurd when they tweeted out how sorry they were that "Easter worshippers" were slaughtered by....er.... well they were slaughtered and isn't that too bad!
"Easter worshippers"?

This is getting truly ridiculous! As images of Christians lying dead in streets everywhere become more or less par for the course, the faithful watchdog media never miss an opportunity to warn their gullible viewers against those hateful Christians and Trump-supporting "terrorists" out there who are, apparently, the only real threat left in the world.
But when Muslim extremists blow up Christian churches the Christian victims are treated like anonymous pariahs.
Say what you will about Fox News, by the way, but in a country whose mainstream media would make Joseph Goebbels blush, Tucker Carlson is, well, a sworn enemy of lying pomposity, smugness and group-think:
We offer our prayers and solidarity to our Christian brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka. May the Risen Christ and His Blessed Mother comfort the survivors and welcome to paradise the victims of this satanic attack on the Mystical Body of Christ.

Symbiotic Supported Suffering/
This photo brilliantly encapsulates The Open - supported suffering.
CrossFit workouts do not always feel pleasant. Suffering may not be the right word here because it may suggest negativity. Whatever that pain is that CrossFit workouts create for us to endure, i.e suffering - it feels a hell of a lot better before, during and after when you have the support of friends.
Here Alison is after 17.1 feeling the symbiosis of suffering and support
With a partner, 300 reps for time:
2:00 for partner A to complete a max rep, unbroken set of KBSs (35/53), then 2:00 for partner B.
Then, partners alternate work every 2 minutes for 16 minutes: 200/250 meter row buy in, then remainder of 2 minutes AMRAP bench press (95/135).
Then, alternating every 2 minutes, 80 double unders and AMRAP sit ups. Continuing until 300 reps are complete.
Reps of KBSs, bench press, and sit ups count toward the 300.

Mothers Dearest - Mothers Dearest (CS EP)
Razored Raw
Regular price $13.00
Mothers Dearest (Te Whanganui-a-Tara) makes music that I want to listen to. Horrid, bludgeoning and jarring. Like their brethren band Church of Goya, Mothers Dearest are unafraid of pushing into uncomfortable audial territory. The music is reminiscent of Skeptics, Swans, and S.P.U.D., and this EP gives me a lot of hope for the state of music in our nation's capital. It's nice to know that it's not just the punks that are pushing their music in extremes.
Release Information
Artist: Mothers Dearest
Title: Mothers Dearest
Format: Mono Cassette EP
Label: Razored Raw

Okla. Bill Targets Relatives Of Illegal Immigrants
KSCB News - March 2, 2011 3:54 pm
Illegal immigrants who end up in prison in Oklahoma would have their relatives deported under a bill approved in a Senate committee, despite concerns that the measure was poorly drafted.
Freshman Republican Sen. Mark Allen of Spiro said Tuesday that his bill targets illegal immigrants who are receiving state aid. He says law enforcement officers in his southeast Oklahoma district have told him illegal immigrants there are receiving state assistance like food stamps.
Several members argued state law already prohibits that.
The bill passed on a 9-7 vote after language was stripped that would have directed state agencies to determine if relatives of prisoners were receiving state aid.
The bill now heads to the full Senate.
