A strategic approach towards the internationalisation of university cities
Programmes, presentations and reports of the meetings can be found under 'Documents'.
1. Background
Internationalisation is a key challenge for medium sized university cities in the battle for brains. How to attract people (students, academics, other knowledge workers) from Europe, or even beyond. What are good practices and barriers? Related to that, cities face any other issues as well, such as: How to integrate the different types of higher educated foreigners in the local labour market and the society? How to make them stay? What are the implications for urban services? To remain competitive, the key stakeholders in medium sized university cities need a strategic approach and tackle all these issues in a coherent way.
Several cities in the EUniverCities Network have indicated that they find this topic important. During the network meetings, the question of internationalisation and talent attracting turned out to be a crucial policy issues for many cities. But we never went "into deep" in this topic. This proposal suggests to take a next step and to set up a sub-network on internationalisation, to be formed by interested members from the EUniverCities Network.
This new network is focused on the following six themes (they are interconnected):
-Effective marketing of the region together, abroad
-Labour market integration of higher skilled foreigners
-Social embedding & cultural integration of foreigners
-Internationalization of urban services, facilities and amenities
-Housing and accommodation for internationals
-Internationalisation of higher education & research
Each sub-theme raises specific questions, and has particular barriers and opportunities. Also, in each sub-theme, different types of stakeholders might be involved.
It is to be discussed if more themes should be added.
2. Proposed method
The exchange is structured as follows:
• Each participating city will host a meeting; we might have 2 meetings in 2017, and 3 in 2018 (incl. a side visit).
• Each meeting will take max. 2 days.
• The host city presents its policies and practices (by presentations, field visits etc.), focusing on one or two of the six themes that it finds most important/relevant.
• The host city explicitly involves of the "target group" (foreign students/expats etc.) in each meeting, to get the real picture.
• Each time there will be a prepared & structured give-and-take session where city teams share how they do things at home.
• Participating city teams will use the exchange to improve their policies.
• The results and reports of the work will be shared in the EUniverCities Network.
3. Benefits for the participating city teams
The following benefits might be achieved:
• The project generates an analysis of the stronger and weaker points regarding internationalisation
• It yields ideas, best practices and inspiration from European colleagues who face the same challenge
• Participation in the project is a catalyst for action and policy innovation: it can help to bring the relevant stakeholders together and create a more strategic, unified approach
4. Project Organisation
4.1. Project partners
The main issue of the project is a part of the thematic flower of the EUniverCities Network. The core group of members should be partners of the network but the subnetwork is free to spreading the group with important partners from outside.
The project partners are:
• Aalborg
• Parma
• Tartu
• Delft
• Magdeburg
4.2. Project coordination
The City of Magdeburg has taken over for the coordination of the project. This includes the dissemination of all necessary information's for the partners (invitations, reports etc.).
4.3. External expertise
Willem van Winden takes over the role of the external expert. He will support the preparation of the meetings, he will be the moderator and prepare a synopsis in a report.
4.4. Meeting organisation
Every host city is responsible for the organisation of the meeting. The content preparation should be in cooperation with the expert. Magdeburg takes over the formal matters like the invitation, the distribution of material etc.
4.5. Theme plan for the meetings

I´m currently reading the paper (to be more precise: it´s a chapter from the book "Shearlets, Multiscale Analysis of Multivariate Data" by Kutyniok and Labate) "Image Processing Using Shearlets" by G.R. Easley and D. (Labate https://www.math.uh.edu/~dlabate/Chap_ImageAppl.pdf). I´m interested in the second part, the "Image Denoising".
I will explain the problem setting in the paper. Then i will share my question.
So the task is, to recover the function $f\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ from noisy data $y$: \begin{align} y=f+n, \end{align} where n is Gaussian white noise, with standard deviation $\sigma$. Hence we want to optimize the estimation $\tilde{f}$ of $f$. This is done by mimimizing the Mean Square Error (MSE), given by \begin{align} E[\vert\vert f-\tilde{f}\vert\vert^2], \end{align} where $E[.]$ is the expexted value, which is calculated with respect to the probability distribution of the noise $n$. The idea is to find and estimation $\tilde{f}$, satisfiying the minimax MSE, defined as: \begin{align} \text{inf}_{\tilde{f}}\text{sup}_{f\in F} E[\vert\vert f-\tilde{f}\vert\vert^2, \end{align} where F are the cartoonlike function (a model class of images) and we allow all measurable estimations in the infimum. When using Wavelet or Shearlet denoising the procedure is done as follows:
Let $W, W^{-1}$ denote the wavelet and inverse wavelet transform and $T_{N_\sigma}$ be the threshholding operator depending on $\sigma$, then the denoising process is done by: \begin{align} \tilde{f}_N=W^{-1}(T_{N_\sigma}(W(y))). \end{align} The threshholding operator only keeps the $N_\sigma$ coefficients with the highest absolute value. When doing denoising with Shearlets, the Wavelet transform is replaced by the Shearlet transform.
It is known, that the wavelet estimator $\tilde{f}_N$ satisfies \begin{align} \vert\vert f-\tilde{f}_N\vert\vert^2\leq CN^{-1},\quad as\quad N\to\infty \end{align} $C>0$ is a constant independent on $f$ and $f_N$. Now there is written, that this implies, that the Mean Square Error (MSE) of the wavelet estimator satisfies \begin{align} \text{sup}_{f\in F}E[\vert\vert f-\tilde{f}_N\vert\vert^2]=\Theta(\sigma),\quad as\quad \sigma\to 0. \end{align}
This is what I don´t understand. How does this follow? I think my problem is, that I don´t exactly know how to compute the expected value in this case. I hope someone can help me.
Thank you in advance,

Temples in the Style of Angkor Wat
Thommanon, Chau Say Tevoda, Banteay Samré, Prasat Wat Athvea, and Beng Mealea
A number of temples were built from the late 11th century to the middle of the 12th century, in the style of Angkor Wat:
Thommanon, Chau Say Tevoda, Banteay Samré, Prasat Wat Athvea, and Beng Mealea (25 km east of Angkor).
The Layout
- Each temple is distinguished by a single dominant and elegant tower with spire, preceded by an elaborated mandapa.
- The temples are Buddhist (not Hindu, as is often said).
- The temples are flat; all elements are on one level.
- They are orientated east, apart from Prasat Wat Athvea which is orientated west.
The temple is located north of the road running from the Royal Palace to the east, near the west bank of the river. It was built in the late 11th or early 121th centuries in the style of Angkor Wat, and was restored 1919-20, 1925-27, and 1961-66.
A tower (T) with antarala (A) and mandapa (M) and a fire shrine (F) are enclosed by a laterite wall (W), some 45 m by 60 m, with gates (G) in the east and west, and a moat. To the east is a terrace (T).
Today visitors enter the temple from south, where the moat is now almost flattened and the enclosure wall has vanished. The original entrance is by the east gate with adjacent terrace.
The tower is cruciform similar to Ta Keo or Phimeanakas, but opens only to the east. The other porches shelter false doors.
"The sanctuary tower has four upper tears and clearly
dominates, as much by the prominence of the finely sculpted … plinth … as by the bold proportions of its corner piers [pillars]. These are
entirely decorated and rise uninterrupted to the full height of the
frontons. … The highly stylised devata are not less remarkable."
(Glaize, p. 131)
In the mandapa and the antarala are well preserved lintel reliefs: Vishnu rescuing the Lord of the Elephants; the elephant is irregularly depicted with three heads, and Vishnu on Garuda.
Most reliefs are on superimposed, 'telescopic' pediments..
Thommanon is a typical Buddhist flat temple
The Buddha is on eye level with his followers. Raised on high pedestals, the buildings of this temple are more or less at one level. Buddhist myths are depicted on reliefs.
The temple is located south of the road from the Royal Palace to the East Mebon (which was built much later). It is linked to the nearby river by an avenue, a stone bridge, and a cruciform terrace. It was built at the middle of the 12th century, it was recently restored by a Chinese team
Enclosed by a laterite wall with four gopura in the cardinal directions, is a tower with antarala and mandapa, and two fire shrines.
Some reliefs at the pediments were thoroughly scratched out at the iconoclasm. That's why Glaize calls the temple 'brahmanic' . But the pediment at the west face of the southern fire shrine marks the temple Buddhist.
Buddhist images are never to be seen in Hindu temples.
The temple is located some 300 m east of the East Baray.
"Like Angkor Wat, Banteay Samré is approached by a long, raised causeway, leading to a cruciform terrace ... The causeway's length, more than 200 m and unfinished to the east, suggests that Banteay Samré enclosed a reasonably sized town as well as a temple at its heart. To the west an avenue of 350 m leads from the East Baray, ending in another cruciform terrace."
There are two enclosures.
- The outer enclosure was framed by a colonnade, the tiled roofs are vanished. Both enclosures have gate pavilions at the cardinal points.
- The inner enclosure is similar to Chau Say but Banteay Samré is framed by a gallery. The buildings inside are framed by narrow platform; the make a way to go around but they also let it look like perched together.
Reliefs are at pediments and lintels, and at the bases of the pilasters at the tower and the mandapa.
Banteay Samré was cleared in 1930 and restored 1936-44.
"Anastylosis has transformed it into one of the finest monuments of the Angkor group, and one of the most complete. Its ornamentation, exceptional in quality and very well preserved in its entirety, became thereafter presented in its unique integrity – it is a pure specimen of the classic art from the finest period where the decoration, shown to its best advantage on a clear background, is itself a function of the architecture."
(Glaize, p. 190.)
Located east of the Phnom Kulen, 25 km from Angkor, Beng Mealea was a large Buddhist monastic city centred by a flat temple.
By the dimensions, by the ground plan, and by the style the temple is similar to Angkor Wat (first half of 12th century) with which it is contemporary. Unlike at Angkor Wat there is no pyramid; Beng Mealea is a Buddhist flat temple. (Reconstruction by Parmentier.)
The central tower is framed by three galleries; the outer gallery measures 190 m by 170 m.
In the east, a cruciform gallery links the first gallery to the second. In the south of the third enclosure are two "palaces" (gallery halls).
The city was surrounded by an enclosure wall and a moat. The moat is crossed by causeways of sandstone. Naga parapets are protecting the edges, which are supported by columns: an imitation of a wooden bridge.
East of it is a Baray; from here, starting with a terrace, an avenue runs to the temple's main entrance. Map.
Beng Mealea is to a great extend collapsed and partially overgrown.
The finest approach is from the Terrace T at the dike of the Baray. (A paved road ends just south of the terrace.)
An Avenue, framed by stone poles and water basins, runs to the main gate of the temple. See the remains of the outer east gate E with Naga paraapet.
Turn right to find the entrance A to the northern and central parts of the complex, accessible by wooden stairways and bridges. This you can do on your own.
The southern and western parts are accessible from inside B, near the south Fire Shrine is the gate to the gallery halls. Here a guide is strongly recommended! Look around.
Leave the temple at the outer south Gate S. Here you can find restaurants R.

I decided I definitely want to stick with Fungus because of the reasons I mentioned in my previous post. But there were some features I wanted that weren't already in the code base. What to do?? I would try contributing to the project!
The Setup
- Install Unity – I just downloaded the latest at the time which was 5.3.3. During the install make sure to install the visual studio tools.
- Install Visual Studio Community – For debugging, code completion and it's just way nicer than Unity's default editor.
- Install git – What? You don't have it already? Weirdo.
- Configure git – Create and add your ssh-key, configure your local global environment, learn git, etc…
Ready the Repository
- Fork snozbot/Fungus.
- Before you start working on your feature, is it already listed in issues?
- git clone <your fork url>
- git remote add snozbot https://github.com/snozbot/fungus.git
- git remote pull snozbot master
-get the most recent code.
- git push origin master
-make sure your repository is up-to-date.
- Open Unity, open a project and navigate to your cloned fungus directory.
- Open Visual Studio, go to File->Open…->Project/Solution, navigate to your cloned fungus directory and open the sln.
- Run tests – in Unity…Unity Test Tools -> Platform Runner -> Run on Platform -> Build and run tests
You want to make sure you're working with a clean environment with passing tests before you start with your work.
Start the Work
- Go to a new branch
git checkout -b <name of your feature>
- Code what you want! If you have questions, comment on the issue in github.
- To debug, in visual studio, click the button to Attach… and select Unity. Here's some more info about debugging. I think saves soooo much time. Console Print statements take too long.
- Try to think of any scenario that might break your functionality and test it out-or make tests.
Write Tests
Test-driven development is a good practice. Writing your tests, seeing your tests fail and then writing the new feature to make the tests pass…yup…good practice. But I'm not entirely sure how to write the tests in Unity just yet. Once I figure that out, I'll link the How-to here.
Submit a Pull Request
Submit your pull request and wait for input from someone from Snozbot. They might ask you to change things or give you pointers.
This is my first time submitting to a non-work project! Hopefully my pull-request gets pulled in!

Often in the apologetics world, at least that of Catholic apologetics, we hear the retort as "mo" makes above after the Catholic makes the claim that "Jesus said, 'this IS my body...' and we believe it!" Well, is Jesus a door made of wood and hinges? Well, He's not made of wood and hinges - but He most certainly is a door! It is ONLY through HIM that we can enter into Heaven! So yes, Jesus IS a door - but that "door" is hidden under the appearance of the Man, Jesus Christ just as the Eucharist REALLY IS HIM, but hidden under the appearance of bread and wine.
"mo" continues:
Next you say that worshipping the Eucharist is a recognition of His "Real Presence". In your view maybe, but I trust you already know that all non-Catholics on earth utterly reject such a notion, and for solidly good reasons, not the least of which was that Jesus said His physical presence was "going away" (I would imagine no less than 10 times), promising to send the Comforter in the absense of His physical body. This is also confirmed by Paul where we read that, "Though we have known Christ after the flesh, now henceforth know we Him NO MORE" (2 Cor 5:16).
"mo" continues:
I understand that you consider it idolatry because you do not have the faith necessary to accept the Word of God on this matter. BUT, for those of us who DO accept His Word on this - we DO accept that the Eucharist IS His body and blood and to give it any LESS worship would be disrespectful, if not blasphemous.As for "worshipping" the Eucharist, I must classify this as pure idolatry. Your catechism states, "The Eucharist is the efficacious sign. . .of God's action sanctifying the world in Christ and of the WORSHIP men offer" (# 1325, #1380}. Not only does this clash with "worshipping God in spirit and in truth" (Jn 4:23) by supposing He means worship through a material object, but also the catechism's shocking claim of SANCTIFICATION through worshipping the Eucharist! This directly contradicts the Bible which says that we are sanctified by the operation of the Holy Spirit who dwells within {1 Cor 6:11} .
"mo" continues:
Sanctification is a lifelong process wherein we are "conformed to the image of His Son" {Romans 8:29}
and Jesus prayed that we would be "sanctified through thy truth; thy WORD is truth " {Jn 17:17}. That being so, the process of advancing along on the road of holiness can only come about through "eating" the Word of God (and not the Eucharist!) because, "How sweet are thy words unto my taste; yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth ......and "How then shall a young man cleanse his way? [sanctification]. By taking heed according to thy word" {Ps 119:9/103}.So, if you are truly "eating" the Word of God, then you are "accepting" Him AT HIS WORD! The bread is no longer merely bread - it IS His body! The wine is no longer merely wine, though it may appear so, it IS His blood! Likewise, Jesus IS not just "a" door - He is THE Door by which we can enter into Heaven.

Trend in Acidity
How do you decide which acid is the strongest in regards to other strong acids?
Re: Trend in Acidity
You can compare their Ka or pKa values. The larger the Ka, the more acidic (more of the acid has dissociated into product [H+]). If you are comparing pKa, the lower the pKa, the stronger the acid (similar to pH in that the lower the pH, the stronger the acid).

Re: Trend in Acidity
Will we be given pKa values? Or will we need to memorize/calculate them??
Re: Trend in Acidity [ENDORSED]
All constants are given in my tests and exams.
Unless you are given equilibrium concentrations and therefore asked to calculated K, or KA, or KB.

German singer and film actor Ted Herold (1942) was billed as 'The German Elvis' in the late 1950's and early 1960's. With his Rock 'n Roll covers he appeared in several Schlagerfilms between 1959 and 1963. In 1977 he made a surprise come-back.

Rock'n Roll Sensation
Ted Herold was born as Harald Walter Bernhard Schubring in Berlin-Schöneberg in 1942. He was the son of a plasterer. In 1951 his family moved to Bad Homburg. As a boy he already had a passion for music, especially for American Rock 'n Roll songs by Bill Haley, Buddy Holly and most of all Elvis Presley. At the age of 14 he had gotten his first guitar as a Christmas present, and at school he started to play these songs. In 1958 a girl friend from school mediated a contract for him with the record company Polydor. That same year followed his first single with two cover versions of Elvis hits, Ich brauch' keinen Ring (Want you wear my ring around your neck) and Lover Doll. His producer Bert Kaempfert came up with the pseudonym Ted Herold. After his first success he moved on to top producer Gerhard Mendelson, who already managed the career of teen idol Peter Kraus. While Kraus got more success with milder songs, Herold was build up as the new 'German Elvis'. Till 1960 Herold sang mainly German covers of Presley hits. With a line from his song Ich bin ein Mann (I am a Man) the then 17 year-old singer caused a sensation in prudish postwar-Germany. The German radio refused to play the song.

Rebel Rocker in Schlagerfilms
Ted Herold broadened his song repertoire in 1960 with more mellow titles, just like his role model Elvis had done before him. Among his hits were covers like Ich bin ein Wanderer (The Wanderer) and Da Doo Ron Ron. The ballad Moonlight became with 500,000 sold singles his biggest hit and climbed to #1 in the hitparade. Herold, who still had the image of a rebel rocker, did not get any engagements from the conservative German television till the mid-1960's. But between 1959 and 1963 he was often seen in Schlagerfilms. He made his film debut in the musical comedy La Paloma (1959, Paul Martin) with Bibi Johns and Karlheinz Böhm. He sang the song Texas Baby. That same year followed Immer die Mädchen/Always the Girls (1959, Fritz Remond) in which he sang Hula-Rock, and Mein Schatz, komm mit ans blaue Meer/My Darling, Come to the Blue Sea (1959, Rudolf Schündler) with fellow rocker Gus Backus, in which Ted sang Küss mich (Kiss Me). The success of Schlagerparade (1960, Franz Marischka) with Herold, Vivi Bach, Rex Gildo, and many other Schlager stars led to sequels as Schlagerparade 1961 (1961, Franz Marischka) and Schlagerrevue 1962 (1961, Thomas Engel). Other films of the same genre include Davon träumen alle Mädchen/That's What All the Girls Dream About (1961, Thomas Engel) with Marion Michael, Drei Liebesbriefe aus Tirol/Three Love Letters from Tyrol (1962, Werner Jacobs) with Ann Smyrner, and Sing, aber spiel nicht mit mir/Sing, But Don't Play With Me (1963, Kurt Nachmann). In 1963 military service interrupted his career. His following singles had less success than before, also because of the upcoming beat wave. He started a study to become a radio and TV technician and married in 1965 Karin Höhler. In 1966 he recorded his last single with Polydor, and then retired to run a radio and television repair service.

In 1977 Ted Herold got a surprising offer from the German rock singer Udo Lindenberg to cooperate on a title of his LP Panische Nächte (Panic nights), and to join him on a tour through Germany. Ted got a record deal with Teldec and started to produce new titles, including Rockabilly-Willi, Bill Haley, Die Besten sterben jung (The Best Die Young) and Rock 'n Roll For President. He sang them with his old classics during many gigs at the height of the Rock 'n Roll-Revival of the 1980's and 1990's. He was the guest of several TV shows, and appeared as a rock singer in the German-American coproduction Judgment in Berlin (1988, Leo Penn) starring Martin Sheen. Ted married in 2002 his longtime companion Manuela. In 2005 he had a new hit with 1958 - wir waren dabei (1958 – we were there). He made guest appearances in the TV series Die Kommissarin/Lady Cop (2000) and Lindenstraße (2007). In 2008 his 26th and most recent album was presented, Jukebox Jeans Rock 'n Roll. Fifty years earlier, when Elvis Presley was posted in Germany by the U.S. Army, the German Elvis had met the American original once in the streets of Bad Homburg. Ted Herold later remembered that he had talked to his idol for a while and then had given him some of his own records.

I am writing this at 38,000 feet somewhere between the JFK airport in New York and Minneapolis/St. Paul where we will be making our final connection in a couple of hours to our home in Bismarck, North Dakota. If our flight stays on schedule, we will be flying over the Basilica of St. Paul in Minnesota at precisely the same time we were singing vespers in Italian with the monks at St. Paul's Basilica outside the walls of Rome yesterday. Our entire 9-day pilgrimage has been transformational for us and we are continually thankful for these moments of connection with saints like St. Paul that give us an opportunity for prayer and reflection. St. Paul is my favorite saint, my confirmation name, the man I most identify with in life because I think sometimes we all need to get knocked off our horses to see what God wants from us.
Traveling with my newly-confirmed 14-year-old daughter Teresa and her two friends, 12-year-old Rebecca Liffrig and 13-year-old Samantha Pearson has been such a blessing. I like to move quickly through airports, crowds and lines; people who know me will tell you I am always in a rush. These young girls were easily up to the task of keeping up with me as we walked as far as ten miles some days across the old cobblestone sidewalks that is make up the places we saw in Italy. In fact Teresa's favorite part of the trip was the walking. "I just loved be able to walk everywhere and see some many different things everywhere we walked, it was amazing that there were churches on one corner, then a fountain, then a museum, you could walk anywhere and find something special," she told me on the flight home.
Samantha, our friend who is a Baptist, most enjoyed the Vatican itself. Our beautiful two-bedroom apartment was just outside the walls of the Vatican and each day we walked to St. Peter's square first. "I was amazed at all the details inside that Church," she told me. "I just couldn't believe all of what you could see. I would never get tired of looking at the beauty there."
The standing joke throughout our adventure when we introduced ourselves was that Samantha was the only non-Catholic in a group of four. She would pipe up and say, "But I think I am getting close." Each day of the trip her forefinger and thumb would get closer and closer together. And yesterday when she was helping to make an Italian-style dinner for our seminarian friend Bob Shea, we asked how close she was now. The finger and thumb was pressed together and we all gave out a heartily laugh.
And for Rebecca, "Going inside all those churches. I never could have imagined that there would have been so many churches with so many things to see inside them. And seeing the Pope — that was pretty cool too,"
I know too, that their faith lives have been transformed in ways that will affect them for the rest of their lives. My parents took my two brothers and me on a trip around the world when I was 15-years old. We were living on Guam at the time — my parents were school teachers for three years on Guam — and we had flown to Japan the summer in 1970. Over two-and-half months in the summer of 1971 we flew from Guam to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Bangkok, Katmandu, Calcutta, New Delhi, Agra, Kashmir, Bombay, Yemen, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, the Sudan, Cairo, all over Greece, Zurich, Amsterdam and back through the U.S. to Hawaii to Guam. That trip was not a pilgrimage as such, but we certainly were exposed to how the rest of the world lived. From the eastern influences of places like China to the poverty in India and Nepal to Africa tribesmen to the ancient cultures in Greece — they all left a lasting impression on me. I know it later influenced my decision to join the Peace Corps after I graduated from college, to help people less fortunate than I.
And had I not joined the Peace Corps I would have never met my eventual bride of nearly 28 years, Patti, and been Dad to ten children.
Final Reflections
The original reason I wanted to go to Italy was to see and pray before the Shroud of Turin. I have written extensively about that experience, and if you haven't read about or seen all the pictures and short movies we have posted, please do.
In a few weeks the Shroud will go back away from public view until the year 2035 (unless there is a special opportunity permitted as there was this time). As noted before, it will never be a requirement of our faith to accept that the Shroud is the true burial cloth of Jesus Christ. After seeing it four times and spending nearly three hours in front of it last week, we know is there was a linen cloth 2,000 years ago that was used to bury our Lord before he was laid in the tomb. Science has not been able to replicate this bloodstained shroud precisely or prove that it is not what it is purported to be.
For me the most profound moment came when I sat for my final time before the Shroud during the morning Mass at St. John the Baptist Cathedral in Turin. This church was built on a site of earlier Catholic churches that date back to the 3rd century. Mass has been said here for well over 1800 years. The Shroud itself arrived in the 16th century so the future saint, Charles Borremeo, the Archbishop of nearby Milan would not have to make the arduous journey to France where the House of Savoy had the Shroud in a church there to see it.
The Mass that morning was crowded, not packed. As I said before, you didn't need a free ticket to attend the morning Mass and be close to the Shroud, you just showed up. Mass was in Italian and there were about a dozen priests concelebrating. At the precise moments when the priest lifted up the bread and wine to confect them into the Body and Blood of Christ, my eyes lined up with the Shroud. There were the bloodstains, there was the crucified body, there was our Creator who suffered, died and was buried for all of us. Emotionally and spiritually I knew that communion would never, ever be the same for me again.
We are the body of Christ. There was the body of Christ. Transubstantiated by the Italian priests and physically represented in one of the Church's most venerated relics. The choir began to sing angelically as we all went up to receive, with my eyes focused again on the Shroud. And then, another profound moment; the Eucharistic Procession to the chapel room across the courtyard where Eucharistic Adoration takes places during the Shroud exhibition.
Then the Mass at St. John the Baptist's was over. I walked forward to the front pews to kneel and say a rosary and a chaplet of mercy. Then it was sadly time to leave. While the rest of the trip to Pisa, Lorenzana, the Vatican and the rest of Rome was spectacular, nothing will compare with the first two days in Turin. It is a story that I will relive forever.
Upon landing at the airport in Minneapolis/St. Paul and ready to board the final leg to our homes in Bismarck, we met up with our dear friend the Vocations Director for the Diocese of Bismarck, Father Tom Richter. We were excited to tell him about our time in Rome with his seminarian students and our trip to the Shroud of Turin. He turned to the girls and said, "I hope you three realize the tremendous gift you have been given. You probably won't realize the significance of what you have experienced until you are much older."
I've got one more thing to talk about before I wrap up. Last Sunday at the North American Pontifical University at the Vatican, we had an opportunity with those same seminarian students there to see the new movie about Archbishop Fulton Sheen. Look for a review about that movie, how you can request a relic, host a private screening of this movie and be an Apostle in the cause for Archbishop Sheen's canonization on Catholic Exchange soon.
If anyone is interested I intend to put together a PowerPoint presentation about the Shroud of Turin, including slides and pictures that I gathered while in Turin this trip. I would be happy to provide it to you or present it to your Church gatherings anytime. You can contact me through our website, www.RaisingCatholicKids.com
Highlights from the entire trip are posted here, http://gallery.me.com/markarmstrong2#100392

What to Look For in a Dash Cam
Dash Cams – What You Should Look For in Regards to Features
If you're a newbie and haven't looked into dash cams yet, to start, the price range in dash cams is quite great. They start from around $50 all the way up to $500.00. How much you spend depends on how much you need one and what features you need to consider. If you just want something for security and peace of mind while driving, then almost any model will work. If you want something that will capture beautiful scenery almost like a go-pro, you're going to have to shell out a few more bucks. Below are some features of dash cams that you should consider. You can also just skip to our list recommendations to our top dash cams of the year
1. Image Quality
The early image quality of dash cams was pretty low, nowadays they are mostly 1080p HD and some with 720p HD. The higher the resolution, the greater detail you will capture. For example if you are in a scenic area, having a higher quality resolution cam will reward you with better quality. Also to consider, in the event of an accident or for example a hit and run, you'd want to have good resolution to capture a license plate.
2. Night Vision
It's critical for dash cams to perform at night. Some will come equipped with a night vision feature while others have a dynamic aperture which increases visibility in low-light conditions by means of maximizing the exposure.
3. Field of View
The horizontal scope of the camera is what is considered the field of view. So in other words, a larger field of view will equal a greater area that the camera will record. This is especially important as with a greater field of view the less chances that you are protected from a false claim.
On average, most cameras will have a 120 degree field of view. Some will reach as wide as 140 degrees.
4. Automatic and Manual Recording
You will want a dash cam that has either automatic recording or manual recording. This will ensure that everything gets saved to the camera. If you don't need to save everything say after a week or so, then loop recording will erase everything and start over. The newest video will replace the oldest one so if this is not a problem for you then loop recording is fine. It will start when the ignition is turned on and stop when turned off. Most will have either option so it's good to check which is best for your purpose.
5. Loop Recording
Loop recording is basically a great "set it and forget it" feature. If you are really just using your dash cam for the purposes of recording an accident, then this feature is great. The way how it works is that it will record continuously for around 3 to 10 minutes or so, then erase the footage if you don't save it or if it does not detect an accident. It will then start recording the footage again, and repeat. Thus, the term loop recording. This way, you don't waste any space on your storage with meaningless footage which is typically footage on your commute to work. If an accident should occur, loop recording will stop and retain the footage.
6. Motion Detection
Similar to a security cam at home, the device will turn on when it detects motion. So if your car is parked in the garage for example, unless you have a cat that likes to jump on the hood of your car, the cam will not record. If you get a dual camera with motion detection then you can protect the perimeter of your car. Remember the video a few years ago of the guy that keyed that Austin Martin? Yes, that was a dual camera motion detection dash cam. Below I will post the video. These are a bit more complicated however and do rely on your battery when the car is off but an external power source can be added for this so you don't drain your battery. It would take a long time to do this though as it doesn't use much power.
7. Driver Awareness Warnings
Dash cams have become so intelligent that now the provide warnings to the driver. Features will vary from cam to cam, but the most common ones are warnings for speed, driving too close to another vehicle or object, driver fatigue, lane drifting, etc. If it is equipped with a GPS system, it can also make you aware of speed traps and red light cameras. Amazing stuff!
8. Impact Detection
A lot of dash cams have built in accelerometers which will detect if the car is in an accident. On a typical basis, impact detection will record on a buffered loop from ten to thirty seconds and will permanently start recording when a collision is sensed by the camera. If GPS is enabled, it can also record the time and place that the accident occured.
The higher-end dash cams will have wifi while low-priced ones will not. These units can integrate with your smart phone on either android or apple and can transfer the video image in real time. This means that the camera may not have a display so it takes up less real estate on your windscreen. Some prefer to have the display on the cam but others may not as a phone display can be used. This is a personal preference.
You won't find GPS in all dash cams and you'll have to spend at least over $150 for it. However, this could change dramatically as competition increases. This data is most valuable in the event of a collision, where it will record the date, time, speed, location and also the direction of the collision. This is important data to have in order to determine fault. Most models that don't have GPS may record the date and time of the accident, but this is not always the case.

Allonzo Trier
Athletes First guard Allonzo Trier ran away with the fan voting and the award for D1 Circuit's Most Improved Player of the Year for the 2013 season of the Elite Youth Basketball League.
The 2015 combo-guard electrified the league with his volume scoring and unrivaled on-court passion. He averaged 20.2 points per game and five rebounds per game in 2013, up from averages of 7.3 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.
Here's how the voting broke down.
Jonah Steinmeyer – SG | Allonzo Trier (2015) | Athletes First
What's great about the EYBL is every player has a chance to groom their skills against the best competition in the country.
The best way to get better is to play the best, plain and simple. Allonzo Trier did exactly that, and more. Trier went from a key contributor on the 2012 Athletes First team to their top option on the offensive end in 2013. He can play both guard positions exceptionally well and tailors his game to either spot.
He can run the point and get others involved or play off-ball and look to beat defenders off the dribble, one-on-one. To me, he has the total offensive package and that's in large part due to his determination to get better.
Trier's 2013 campaign is the epitome of improvement, and is best summed up by his scoring production.
The best part is we get to watch the 2015 guard return to the EYBL again for another season.
Alec Kinsky – SG | Allonzo Trier (2015) | Athletes First
Based on numbers alone, this was a two man race between Trier and Houston's Kelly Oubre Jr..
While Oubre is certainly deserving of this award, it's very hard to look past what Trier accomplished this season. A role player during his freshmen EYBL season, Trier exploded onto the scene this year. Blessed with a quick first step and the ability to absorb contact in the lane, Trier quickly realized what he needed to do in order to be successful – be aggressive.
Combine his goal to outwork everyone on the floor with his elite talent and the results speak for themselves.
Owen Kinsky – SF | Kelly Oubre Jr. (2014) | Houston Hoops
This was a relatively difficult one to pick. Both Oubre and Allonzo Trier made huge leaps this season from their 2012 numbers. After agonizing over the two, Oubre got the final vote.
Oubre managed to increase his scoring (5.2 PPG to 16.1 PPG) mainly as a result of an extra 15.6 minutes per game this season. However, Oubre also managed to bump up all of his percentages, with a huge jump in his field goal, free throw and three point percentages.
With Oubre's increased minutes, he managed to become significantly more efficient. Add in the fact that his improvements were a big reason for Houston Hoops' success and Peach Jam berth and it adds up to a very solid case for most improved player.
Fans Vote – Allonzo Trier
Allonzo Trier - 582 votes
Kelly Oubre Jr. - 332 votes
Kameron Chatman - 201 votes
Tyler Ullis - 15 votes
Boubacar Moungoro - 7 votes

Select the details button in the library. You will then see a button "Delete". Press that and you will be prompted to confirm the deletion.
And, yes, it's a less-than-elegant workflow. It is on our list to improve.
Thanks, Ric Wright

It took 3 days to get a response? Wow! I had already uninstalled thinking that I wasn't going to get one. Guess I will give Readium a second chance.

Iconic Andy Warhol prints stolen from Springfield art museum
SPRINGFIELD (AP) — Someone broke into a Missouri art museum this week and stole an unknown number of prints of Andy Warhol's "Campbell's Soup Cans."
The Springfield News-Leader reports the theft at the Springfield Art Museum happened between 5:30 p.m. Wednesday and 8:45 a.m. Thursday. Police spokeswoman Lisa Cox says the FBI and Interpol have been notified.
The website for London-based art auction house Christie's says a similar 1968 color screenprint from Warhol's "Campbell's Soup I" series sold for more than $30,000 in 2015.
City spokeswoman Cora Scott says the museum is a department of the City of Springfield and is funded through property taxes. She says all the works at the museum are covered by a fine arts insurance policy that has an annual premium of roughly $14,000.

Synopsis for "Road to No Man's Land: Waxman and the Clown, Part 3"
Jeremiah Arkham is still in his office but is suspicious as why his office door was unlocked. He started to write on his diary and turned on the TV to hear the news about the events in Washington, D.C. when he decides to check on the inmates.
All the inmates were down in the corridors and had surrounded Batman, who in turn threatened them to go back to their cells immediately. The inmates laughed at him and under Joker's command, they attacked Batman. Jeremiah arrived in time to stop them from maiming him but when the inmates dropped Batman to the floor, the mask slipped off and revealed that it wasn't the real Batman but instead David Thurman; Jeremiah's right hand doctor. Thurman was sorry for having failed Arkham and then he died. Jeremiah knew that it would be extremely dangerous to remain there with the inmates so he ran away and locked himself in his office once more.
Two days passed and Jeremiah wasn't able to step out of his office for fear of what he might find outside. The food supplies were about to end, and the inmates decided to throw a party to deplete the food. Riddler cut out the telephone lines to prevent Jeremiah from calling outside help. Jeremiah started to remember some past tragic events of his life and he knew that the time for him and his asylum was about to end.
After Joker killed one of the inmates, some of them decided to set free the most dangerous criminals and more victims were claimed by Poison Ivy, Victor Zsasz, Cornelius Stirk and Solly Bean.
At day 3, Dr. Arkham knew that the food must have ran out and the inmates were getting ready to break into Arkham's office and force him to open the asylum doors but before they could reach him, Jeremiah offered them a deal: if they turned away he would open the doors and let them out with the condition that they never go to Gotham City; but if the break into his office, he would destroy the doors controls and they would all be trapped inside the asylum forever. The inmates agreed and Arkham opened the doors to freedom. All of them stepped outside and were headed straight towards Gotham.
Jeremiah knew that they wouldn't do as they promised but he had planned to set them free into a forgotten wasteland, as he learned by the news that Gotham City would be abandoned by the United States Government. At night, he was still afraid of going out of his office because he suspected that some of the inmates didn't left the building. He remembered that Joker said something about having a cigar at the asylum's library when suddenly he smelled smoke and he recoiled to his office's corner listening the insane laughter coming from the halls below.
- This is the third and final chapter of the storyline labeled The Waxman and the Clown. The previous chapter was Batman: Shadow of the Bat #81.

The latest race news from the race
The seven forms of Transat Jacques Vabre duo
1. The faux solo. Jean-Pierre Dick and Yann Eliès on St Michel-Virbac were the archetypal example of this type of duo, but it applied to the all the podium boats. "I wanted someone I could trust and that I didn't have to worry about when I wasn't on the helm or sleeping," Dick said in Le Havre, "because that does happen, people have one eye open sleeping and every sound makes you say, what are they doing?"
2. The Master-Remastered (from another class): The faux solo cross-class. Vincent Riou, two-time winner of the Transat Jacques Vabre and Vendée Globe winner having decided to spread his wings from the Imoca class joined Erwan Le Roux, a three-time winner of the Transat Jacques Vabre in the Multi50 on FenêtréA-Mix Buffet.
3. The Pro-Am: In Le Havre, Pierre Lacaze, a banker funding the campaign and raising awareness for a Brazilian foundation, happily compared himself to the ski jumper from an unusual country at the Winter Olympics, now looking down the steep slope…But he and arch professional Yoann Richomme managed to exceed expectation, finishing a very competitive 10th on the second oldest boat on the fleet. See also, Catherine Pourre (amateur) and Benoit Hochart (pro) on Eärendil.
4. The handover. After 13 years working to promote Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque, the charity which enables children around the world to undergo cardiac surgery in France, Tanguy de Lamotte is handing over the helm and project of Initiatives-Cœur to Samantha Davies. See also, Dick handing the helm of St Michel-Virbac over to Eliès.
5. The marriage of skills: Some duos had it all worked out in Le Havre. One would helm and handle the navigation and chart table work and the other would do the rough stuff. Not all would admit that but the Italian duo, long-term collaborators, Massimo Juris, 61 and Pietro Luciani, 32 on Colombre XL, who finished a fine sixth inn the Class40, cheerfully volunteered it. "We found our rhythm," Juris said. "Pietro works all the time, he never stops; me? I watch and do the navigation, it's good to share."
6. The marriage: Two on this race, well partners on land and at sea. Louis Burton and Servane Escoffier on Bureau Vallée 2 and Halvard Mabire and British skipper, Miranda Merron on Campagne de France. (Samantha Davies and Romain Attanasio were the other, but they were racing on different boats in this race). "We've beeb sailing with each other so long that we know what the other one is going to say, think and do," Merron says. "But we're not together on the boat. We're two skippers. I do the foredeck work and when we get to the finish I hop onto the pontoon and Halvard shouts 'hello my darling, I've missed you.'"
7. The supersub: It was ninth-time lucky for the 53-year-old Lalou Roucayrol, skipper of Arkema, but his powerful project with a foiling Multi50 was suddenly in trouble this year. When his co-skipper, former winner Karine Fauconnier, was injured in training three months ago, Roucayrol had to go on a search for a last-minute help win his first Route du Café. In Alex Pella, the formidable and multi-skilled, multi-starred Spanish sailor, making his third appearance, he found skill and hunger. Both had finished second in the Transat Jacques Vabre before. They went one better this time. "Alex is reassuring to be with, and it relieved me that he agreed to go with me," Roucayrol said.

You Gotta Be Hungry
When you're working on something you want to achieve, you have got to stand up to that voice. You've got to sell yourself every day on your abilities on what you're doing, on the goal that you want to reach. You've got to sell yourself every day, every day, every day. According to your level of belief it will manifest itself in what you're doing. Whatever we have right now, whatever we're demonstrating in our lives is a result of what we believe sub-consciously that we deserve. And part of increasing that belief level is that you have got to convince yourself every day. You've got to sell yourself.
When you have something you want to do, if you don't develop the courage to do that which has been given you to do and you spend a lot of time going around trying to convince other people of trying to get their approval, what will happen is that you will lose your nerve. And other people will convince you that what you are doing doesn't have any value and you give up on your dream. It's an interesting thing about life, I've also found, that if you don't have the courage to act, sometimes and particularly if you have something special to do, life will move on you.
Most of us don't use the stuff that we have brought into the universe. And we want to make a conscious deliberate determined effort to start living life with a sense of urgency and using what we've got, using ourselves up, sharing what we brought into the universe to share, because if we don't, nobody else will. Stop wasting valuable time. Knowing that if we begin to live our lives as if each day were our last, our lives will take on a whole new meaning.
Excerpts: Les Brown: You Gotta be Hungry
Life Without Limits
Working around the clock, cleaning the house, going to soccer practice, trips to the grocery store, shopping for clothes. . . It goes on and on and on. . . You are constantly doing something. So-called things that you are supposed to do. This is your life now. And your life has crafted into some sort of assembly line. This 'checkbox' experience has become the norm for human existence. Your dreams were left behind in order to live the life meant for someone else. At one point you had a dream. Creativity permeated the air surrounding you.
Unintentionally you permitted someone to alter your destiny. Simply by being around other people you can mistakenly absorb the negative words they use. You had an idea and tossed it away because some other moron said it was impossible. Perhaps you tried it and failed. The moment you quit- the moment limitations are manufactured.
These limits are keeping you from your destiny. Inhabiting behind this wall for longer than you can remember. Enclosed within this prison of limitations; unknowingly becoming a hostage. So much time has passed. Through this duration you have stumbled upon comfort. Shattering the glass ceiling would be too painful; therefore, dwelling is here is inevitable. Electing to avoid the pain of change.
"I'm too busy."– – -You have confused motion with action. Through this idleness and inactivity your time is consistently restructured and handed over to distractions. You enrolled your life to the subscription of other's desires. Engaging in meaningless conversations or cemented on the couch. Conceivably being further limited by parading the beta version of yourself on social media. Crippled.. .Laissez-faire.
In order to grow, one must suffer. Being the opposition of society or loved ones can be painful. Understand that even the creation of you is painful. Birth is painful; therefore, we are born into pain. Never be complacent, yet be comfortable with pain.
Open your arms to the torment. Embark upon the aches and discomforts. Realize that pain catalyzes the changes you seek. Enduring irritation is the key to the unlocking these chains.
Limitations do not exist. If anyone determines you cannot obtain your dreams, it should be you. Never conform.
Free Yourself: Uncaged
"You ever watch lions at the zoo? You can always tell which ones were captured in the wild by the look in their eyes. The wild cat. She remembers running across the plain, the thrill of the hunt. Four hundred pounds of killing fury, locked in a box. But after a while, their eyes start to glaze over, and you can tell their soul has died. The same thing happens to a man."
(xXx, 2002)
Feeling Alone & Being Motivated
Lost: unable to find one's way; not knowing one's whereabouts.
Alone: having no one else present; on one's own. Without others' help or participation; single-handed.
Any loss is a form of death. The essence of something is now absent. Maybe a friendship ended or your dog ran away. Maybe you lost your job. Maybe your relationship ended. Maybe someone close to you actually passed away. The identity with this thing leaves us stuck and alone. Wandering and deserted.
The man/woman you once or still love, is now walking alongside someone else. Someone else was hired in your old job. Your best friend has a new best friend.
As these things depart- you remain. Unloved. Feeling sustained inside your vacuum of emptiness. Through the death of these things you become lethargic and confused. The promiscuity of sorrow continues breeding further emotional torment. The byproduct of your devastation creates a missing self-identity that once brought you comfort.
The people you want or wanted in your life are simultaneously having their own life experience. Their concurrent experience simply intersects with yours for a time. A seasonal conjunction. Everything is temporary and short-lived. Experiences must all come and go. To have died, something must have once lived.
A need for things is simply your own false perception. Remove the blindfold of loneliness. You believe or feel entitled to believe, the act of desiring these things dictates their presence in your life.
Unknowingly, this confusion and isolation has always been present. Did you evolve in your mother's womb with someone else? (To the antagonist, even twins are separate beings) Is anyone else experiencing your dreams? Can anyone beyond yourself feel the hot stove your hand rests on?
Alone. You have always been alone. You will always be alone. You have always been experiencing this so called life by yourself.
Those that cannot withstand the smoke, cannot withstand the day you set fire. Let them die.
In the midst of your forfeiture, be cognizant that these inhabilitating emotions were handpicked. Chosen and selected by of course. . . none other than. . .You!
Embrace your emptiness. Not being filled with these things; your vacant heart is symbolic for acceptance and peace. Let this revelation guide you to the comprehension of a new reality and restored life. You and your Creator- that relationship is sufficient.
*Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst? – 1 Corinthians 3:16
*But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. LUKE 5:16 AMP
Negative Self-Talk
Internal characterless statements expunge all validity of our progress.
- I just want to be happy.
- I want what's best for you.
- I hope things get better for me.
These crumbling phrases paralyze the human spirit. Consequently and unknowingly, creating a self-defeating vigor within your brittle mind.
You cannot afford to be ambiguous. The clock is still ticking – time is running out! You must speak clarity and conviction to your soul.
Engage Your Subconscious Mind
Write things down once your thoughts become meaningful or your goals become truth. You must review them. Over and over. And over again- every single day!
The practice of writing things down is an accessory to a powerful mind. Psychologically this practice is proven to increase memory, minimize distractions, and sharpen the brain when you get older. Unload the burdens of your brain. Increase the potentiality.
If ever your emotions inaugurate feelings of defeat or surrender; your true self will override these impromptu notifications. Focus, concentration, and diligence will flow with ease. Contemplations suddenly are disciplined. Circumstances will be viewed from the mountain, not the trenches.
Suffering is the catalyst for growth! Be thankful for it and scream something positive to the bogeyman.
Give birth to a conviction within yourself to DO BETTER!
You must apply discipline and consistency to achieve your goals. You have to plan everyday. Hard work . . . works!- Denzel Washington
An inspiring message from my loving mother:
Where you choose to look will determine how you live.
Having an eternal perspective as your priority will affect your choices and decisions entirely. It will also affect how attached you feel to the things of this world.
Its' disappointments will no longer feel so crushing. Its' fears will no longer feel so frightful. Its' goals will no longer appear so alluring. Because you will have the focus to see what they really are, in light of eternity.

Cheap Flights to Africa
Africa is the world's second-largest and second most-populous continent, after Asia. At about 30.2 million sq km (11.7 million sq mi) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of the Earth's total surface area and 20.4% of the total land area. With a billion people (as of 2009, see table) in 61 territories, it accounts for about 14.8% of the World's human population. The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. (Pause for advertisement): Find airline tickets, travel deals, bed and breakfasts, Cheap flights. Obtain air fare prices, lodging, air tickets, and student travel. Check out flights, trip tickets, air line specials, low prices on air travel fares and more at AirGorilla.com (end of ad). Not counting the disputed territory of Western Sahara, there are 53 countries, including Madagascar and various island groups, associated with the continent. The quality of Africa's resource endowment for tourism is exceptional, but most countries have only barely developed their tourism potential. The continent receives about 4% of all international travelers and tourism receipts, but tourism is "significant" (>2% GDP and >5% exports) in about half of SSA countries. Countries in Africa are now focusing on tourism as a source of growth and diversification, but with only limited policy guidance from most donors, despite the sector's potential. At present, the World Bank Group (WBG) provides limited support for tourism and has no overall sector strategy, though the CDF, PRSP and CAS are helping to define such strategies in a few countries. This paper gives a broad overview of issues in tourism in Africa and suggests guidelines to assist countries to develop a more coherent framework for tourism.

Oh. Dear. Mark Boucher bowled 3 balls (yes – Mark Boucher, the grumpy 'keeper). One was waist-high. Second was even higher and no-balled. The 3rd was short and wide (at least it pitched), and Bravo hit it to Mid Off. He has his first, and probably last, Test wicket – and presumabely no bowling average yet, either!
This waste-of-my-time-Test match has also broken the record of having the most hundreds in a Test (8).

It is appalling that KOLD doesn't even blink when it fails to give credit. Of all the people to pull that on, Mike McKisson is not one to mess with. He teaches Journalism at UofA, and is working on his Master's. Top journalists in town respect him, and are thankful he's here. His tucsonvelo.com website @TucsonVelo are examples of having a policy in place for high journalist principles. KOLD - you need to learn from Mike. Hope you will have a change of heart and policy, and give him his invoiced $300 for your transgression. Just change your policy for all future situations that could happen like this. You'll be better off. Good luck. Carol - @TotallyTucson
