Two friends of Ekklesia will be appearing on BBC Radio Scotland at 8.05am on Easter Sunday morning (20 April 2014), in a programme intriguingly entitled 'Bayonets and Green Blades'.
The Church of Scotland has named the Rev John Chalmers as Moderator Designate to take office at the 2014 General Assembly of Scotland's largest Presbyterian Christian denomination.
The Secretary of the Church of Scotland's Church and Society Council is departing to lead the Edinburgh Cyrenians charity.
The Church of Scotland will today launch the results of a nationwide consultation on Scotland's future.
The Christian think-tank Ekklesia, which works to promote a just society open to people of all beliefs, says that a joint education reform initiative from the Church of Scotland and the Humanist Society Scotland is a "positive sign" about the future of religion and belief in the world today.
The Church of Scotland and Humanist Society Scotland have jointly said they wish to see 'Religious Observance' in schools changed to 'Time for Reflection'.
A senior Kirk figure has welcomed affirmative comments by Scottish Environment Minister Paul Wheelhouse on land reform.
The head of the Church of Scotland's Church and Society Council says that what she wants for Christmas is real justice for people presently reliant on foodbanks.
The Kirk is encouraging worshippers to support World AIDS Day this Sunday and join the fight against one of the world's most deadly diseases.
The Kirk "cares about the needs of everyone in Scotland and is often in the areas where it is most difficult to be", its Moderator has told Westminster MPs.

Microsoft Unveils Cheaper Azure Cool Blob Storage Option
Businesses can now park their back-ups and other infrequently accessed data in the cloud for as low as a penny per gigabyte.To help manage storage costs, enterprises often turn to storage tiering practices that place older, seldom used data on storage systems and media that are less expensive to operate and maintain. Now Microsoft is offering its Azure Blob Storage customers a similar option for their cloud-based object data, called Cool Blob Storage. "Example use cases for cool storage include backups, media content, scientific data, compliance and archival data. In general, any data which lives for a longer period of time and is accessed less than once a month is a perfect candidate for cool storage," Sriprasad Bhat, a Microsoft Azure Storage senior program manager, explained in a blog post. "With the new Blob storage accounts, you will be able to choose between Hot and Cool access tiers to store object data based on its access pattern." Among Cool Blob Storage's most notable attributes is its low cost. In some regions, customers can expect to pay as little as a penny per gigabyte to keep their data on the service. Latency and throughput performance are similar in both the Hot and Cool tiers, assured Bhat, although their service-level agreements (SLAs) differ.
While Microsoft offers a 99.9 percent (three nines) availability SLA on the Hot tier, the Cool tier gets by with 99 percent. Customers that select for the read-access geo-redundant storage option can bump their Azure Cool Blob Storage SLAs up to 99.9 percent.

Evidence of Protocarnivorous Capabilities in Geranium viscosissimum and Potentilla arguta and Other Sticky Plants

There is reason to believe that some glandular or "sticky" plants should be protocarnivorous, that is, be capable of digesting arthropods or other organic items trapped on the surface and absorbing the N breakdown products for use in the plant. This possibility was investigated extensively in two sticky species, Geranium viscosissimum F. & M. var. viscosissimum and Potentilla arguta Pursh, which are common in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. These were tested for ability to digest proteins and absorb breakdown products. Initially, a gelatin‐casein film was used to assay for proteinase activity. Results indicated that both species were capable of digesting trapped protein. Proteinase activity was further verified by application of 14C‐labeled algal protein to glandular surfaces. Furthermore, the breakdown products were absorbed and translocated. Another 17 sticky species were also tested for proteinase activity using the gelatin‐casein film, and 13 tested positive. These results imply that protocarnivory is common among sticky species. The apparently common occurrence of protocarnivory has potentially important ecologic and practical ramifications.

As far as places that I have ridden, my favorites would be Bend, Oregon and Moab, Utah. I have yet to go to Idaho and Colorado for riding, then I'll bet these might change.
I love 31 Flavors, but it's usually only available during the spring and summer.
I think the last place I would go would be Johannesburg, California off the 395. It totally creeps me out. What do people do out there? Why are they there? Why haven't they left?
That's not totally true though, because I am willing to try anything at least once.

Roasted Vegetable Tart Recipe
- 1 unbaked store-bought pie pastry (9 in./22.5 cm)
- 1 small (12 oz./350 g) butternut squash, peeled
- 1 large zucchini, cut into 1/4-in. (0.5-cm)-thick slices
- 1 medium red onion, cut into 1/4-in. (0.5-cm)-thick slices
- 1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp. chopped basil
- 1 jar (6 oz./150 g) roasted red peppers, drained and cut
- 1
Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C/Gas Mark 6).With a rolling pin, reshape the round crust into a square and place it in an 8-in.(20-cm) baking pan. Fold over the edges and crimp to make a decorative edge. Prick the bottom with a fork. Line the pie crust with waxed paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the waxed paper and weights. Bake until golden, 5–10 minutes. Leave the oven on.
- 2
Meanwhile, slice the long neck of squash crosswise into 1/4-in. (0.5-cm)-thick rounds until you reach the seeded end. Scoop out the seeds from the rest of the squash. Slice the squash into rings. In a large bowl, combine the squash, zucchini, onion, 1 tbsp. oil, and season.
- 3
Arrange the squash and half of the onion in a single layer on a baking sheet. Arrange the zucchini and the remaining onion in a single layer on a second baking sheet. Roast until the zucchini is tender, 10–12 minutes. Remove the zucchini from the baking sheet. Continue roasting the squash and onion until they are just tender, about 5 minutes longer. Reduce the oven temperature to 250°F (130°C/Gas Mark 2).
- 4
Just before serving, assemble the tart. Sprinkle the bottom of the pie shell with 1 tbsp. cheese. Top with an even layer of zucchini, half of the onion, 1 tbsp. of cheese, and 1 tbsp. of basil. Next, layer the squash, remaining onion, 1 tbsp. of cheese, and 1 tbsp. of basil. Arrange the roasted pepper on top. Brush with the remaining 1 tsp. of oil. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tbsp. of cheese. Heat the tart in the oven for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining basil and serve warm.

3The Overall Morningstar Rating is as of March 31, 2016 and for Class Z shares. Out of 101 Z-share Columbia funds rated by Morningstar, 18 funds received a 5-star Overall Rating and 33 funds received a 4-star Overall Rating. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value and have limited eligibility. Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. offers multiple share classes, not all necessarily available through all firms, and the share class ratings may vary. Contact us for details. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a retail mutual fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. For share classes that do not have a 3-, 5- or 10-year actual performance history, the fund's independent Morningstar Rating metric is then compared against the retail mutual fund universe breakpoints to determine its hypothetical rating.
For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ used to rank the fund against other funds in the same category. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly excess performance, without any adjustments for loads (front-end, deferred, or redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star (each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages).
The Morningstar RatingTM is for Class Z shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics and may have different ratings.

Which Joe gave his name to 'sloppy joes'? We look at five interesting sandwiches and their lexical origins.
Definition of hyperbola in English:
1A symmetrical open curve formed by the intersection of a circular cone with a plane at a smaller angle with its axis than the side of the cone.
- 'At an eccentricity of exactly one you have a parabola, and for eccentricities greater than one the orbit traces a hyperbola.'
- 'Let us begin where we left off, with the quadratic curves known as the circle, ellipse, hyperbola and parabola.'
- 'High values of these parameters yield a hyperbola.'
- 'There are many topics covered in the book including a study of circles, triangles, geometric series, ellipses, parabolas and hyperbolas.'
- 'The only visible sun seemed to be divided into two halves of orange, like an inverted hyperbola.'
- 'It's the other conic sections that confuse me, like ellipses and hyperbolas.'
- 'There are three non-degenerate conics: the ellipse, the parabola, and the hyperbola.'
- 'Enter the hyperbolas, parabolas, transitions and floaters who make up the Wolves' zone defense.'
- 'She was up in her attic one afternoon, trying to concentrate on where to place her asymptotes on her hyperbola, but her mind traveled elsewhere.'
- 'This function is a hyperbola in the valid domain for plant growth.'
- 'By the time I finish with you you're not just going to fly circles around those scum, but ellipsoids, helices, and hyperbolae.'
- 'Long-period comets can have orbits ranging from eccentric ellipses to parabolas to even modest hyperbolas.'
- 'It feels as if all that laughter's going in a hyperbola above my head, with one of them sitting behind me and the other directly before me.'
- 'Probably also in 1654 Brouncker computed the quadrature of the hyperbola although he did not publish this result until 1668.'
- 'You depart Earth on a hyperbola, segue into an ellipse around the sun, and approach your destination on another hyperbola.'
- 1.1Mathematics The pair of hyperbolas formed by the intersection of a plane with two equal cones on opposites of the same vertex.
- 'Angeli's many works were on infinitesimals and he used them to study spirals, parabolas and hyperbolas.'
- 'She had given up on math once her books had started trying to explain how to graph a hyperbola; it was just to confusing.'
- 'The equation of this curve can be shown to be that of a hyperbola whose curvature is inversely related to the value of V.'
- 'The first shows that if AB is a fixed line then locus of a point P such that 2 angle PAB = angle PBA is a hyperbola.'
- 'He read Wallis's method for finding a square of equal area to a parabola and a hyperbola which used indivisibles.'
Mid 17th century: modern Latin, from Greek huperbolē 'excess' (from huper 'above' + ballein 'to throw').

Poliovirus Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 are each grown in separate cultures of MRC-5 cells, a line of normal human diploid cells, by the microcarrier method.9,10 The cells are grown in CMRL (Connaught Medical Research Laboratories) 1969 medium, supplemented with calf serum. For viral growth, the culture medium is replaced by Medium 199, without calf serum. After clarification and filtration, the viral suspensions are concentrated by ultrafiltration, and purified by liquid chromatography steps. The monovalent viral suspensions are inactivated with formaldehyde. Monovalent concentrates of each inactivated poliovirus are combined to produce a trivalent poliovirus concentrate.Steroids are mainly used for treating acute episodes of MS. Steroids help to reduce the body's autoimmune response. In doing so, steroids help to shorten the length of an attack, and rapidly reduce inflammation. Since their use is associated with significant long-term side effects, steroids are used only for short periods of time. Side effects of steroids include psychosis, bloating, insomnia (sleeping problems), headache, bone loss, suppression of the immune system, moon (rounded) face, stomach ulcers, and increases in blood sugar.Loxitane 25mg

Umoja village was founded by indigenous Samburu women as a sanctuary for women fleeing sexual and domestic violence. Now climate change threatens their traditional herding economy and women must find new ways to support their families. They also need a way to haul water across long distances without sustaining injuries and ensure that the sick and eldery can access a clinic miles away. Umoja and 7 neighboring villages are now working collectively to meet these urgent needs sustainably.
MADRE will provide durable, motor-assisted bicycle taxis to each community to enable women to: 1) earn income by providing taxi services to tourists, 2) haul jugs of water for their families and 3) bring sick and elderly people to the nearest clinic.
The project will help women earn income to sustain their communities and will strengthen ties between 8 villages. It will also improve health as women avoid injuries from carrying water and increase access to health care.
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).

Sun is expected to open a new chapter in Java history next month when it will formally unveil details of a strategy dubbed the 'service driven network'.
How can your business benefit from DevOps?
Let's take a look at six of the development practices that Disciplined Agile Delivery recommends for disciplined DevOps teams.

Based on the fruits of a two-year on-going research project called Brazil, the service driven network appears to follow similar lines to Microsoft .Net, announced last June. The Brazil framework is analogous to the.Net Soap (simple object access protocol) architecture.
A paper on the Sun http://www.sun.com/research/features/brazil describes the technology as a toolkit of reusable Java components that can be accessed over the Web. In the paper Stephen Uhler, lead architect on the Brazil project said, "In our vision, Web servers will be augmented by meta-servers." These so-called meta-servers he said, would be able to pull in Web-based content from various sources.
Commenting on Sun's forthcoming strategy, Tony Lock, senior analyst at Bloor Research said, "This isn't entirely a new strategy for Sun. A large number of back-end servers are based on Sun technology." The difference he sees is that Sun appears to be putting a heavy focus on security. For instance, according to Sun, the goal is to provide "a strong authentication architecture", which it claims will allow extranets to access intranets without compromising security.
Another benefit, according to Lock, is the possibility that the strategy will eventually lower the technical expertise barrier to Java development. "Today, Java is an expensive skill to have in-house. If [Java] components could be linked together easily, then developing Java applications would be simplified."
For over-stretched IT departments in the short and medium term the Sun initiative poses a problem as compatibility with alternative Web service architectures like Microsoft's Soap, UDDI (a project to develop a service directory from Microsoft, IBM and Ariba) and Oracle is likely to be some way off according to Bloor's Lock.

Hi everyone,
I just sent this picture to Christian. I thought I
should share it with the list too. Six Pack is very
consistent for me, every flower is flat. All the
petals have beards too so this leads me to believe it
is genetic and not just lazy (like me).

The Impact of Internet on the Market for Daily Newspapers in Italy
Recent years have seen a surge in websites that provide news for free and, up to the end of 2001, daily newspapers in Italy have shown a growing trend towards making available online for free; the exact articles published on paper. To assess whether on-line news and traditional daily newspapers are substitute, complement or independent goods, I model the choice between different daily newspapers as a discrete choice among differentiated products. Considering the availability of a website as a newspaper characteristic and controlling for other observable and unobservable characteristics of newspapers and of the outside good, I estimate a logit model of demand on market level data from 1976 to 2001 for the main national daily newspapers in Italy. Results suggest that opening a website had a negative impact both on the sales of the newspaper who opened it and on those of its rivals. I calculate the implied short-run and approximated long-run losses in both sales and profits and provide some evidence of the additional negative effect stemming from the general availability of Internet and on-line news. Results also contribute to explaining why, starting from the end of 2001, many publishers introduced a fee to read on-line the paper edition of the newspaper.

Witness recants story of painter's suit in Home Depot killing trial
SANTA ANA The one person who told police he saw Jason Russell Richardson wearing a white painter's suit and yellow hard hat before a Tustin Home Depot manager was gunned down by someone wearing the same outfit recanted his story on the witness stand.
A cocaine-induced fog prevented Dale Frizzell, the longtime boyfriend of Richardson's mother, from remembering much of anything from that time, he testified in court over the past two days.
Disguised head to toe in white coveralls, hard hat, a dust mask and gloves, a man trying to rob the Tustin Marketplace Home Depot's safe shot Tom Egan, the assistant manager, in the crowded store Feb. 9, 2007.
The store's surveillance tape shows Egan, a retired Marine, following the man in the coveralls through the store, begging him to leave without hurting anyone. The robber shot him, grabbed $500 from the store's cash registers and stepped over Egan's dying body, leaving a trail of cash.
Richardson, a registered sex offender with a history of violent crime, was arrested a few weeks later. A dirty sock filled with ammunition dropped in the store had DNA that matched Richardson's profile in a state DNA database.
If convicted, Richardson could be put to death.
Richardson was living with his wife, children and his mother and Frizzell in his mother's Oceanside home when he was arrested Feb. 22, 2007, on suspicion of murdering Egan. That night, police rounded up the entire household and took in everyone for questioning.
A Tustin police report details a 2007 interview with Frizzell, including a conversation Frizzell said he had with Richardson about the painter's coveralls around the time of Egan's murder. The outfit was odd, Frizzell told police, because Richardson wasn't a painter.
On Monday, dressed in an Orange County jail jumpsuit and his hands handcuffed in front of him, Frizzell said he couldn't remember saying anything to police about Richardson wearing a painter's suit or hard hat. Frizzell is incarcerated in state prison for violating his drug probation, he told jurors Tuesday.
Referring to the police report, Deputy District Attorney Cameron Talley asked Frizzell if he remembered telling police he saw Richardson dressed in coveralls and hard hat standing in front of his children a few weeks prior. Richardson, in a suit and tie, shook his head as he watched his mother's longtime boyfriend.
His memory was fuzzy, Frizzell explained over and over again, because he "was under the influence of a lot of drugs" at the time. Even though he was in a Proposition 36 drug program, he was smoking crack cocaine every day, he said.
"What's a rat?" Talley asked.
"Somebody telling on somebody," Frizzell said.
"And what happens to rats?" Talley asked.
"They'll probably get beat up," Frizzell said. "Some bad things."
But Frizzell said he didn't need to worry about being a rat.
"It's not going to pertain to me," he said. "I'm not ratting. I'm not a rat."
What he could remember telling police, Frizzell testified, is that he was mad at Richardson because he didn't mow the lawn and that he had quit several jobs. He said he could not recall anything about a painter's suit or a hard hat.
Defense attorney Hector Chaparro recapped Frizzell's criminal history, including two felony drug convictions and robbery, and questioned Frizzell about his ability to manipulate the police to avoid being arrested and being sent back to prison.
Frizzell admitted he'd lied in the past, but he couldn't remember lying to police. He was mad at Richardson, he said, but he didn't try to set up him, he said.
"I wouldn't try to frame somebody because I was mad at him," Frizzell said.
"I don't remember anything except the depression this put on the family, these kids," Frizzell said. "I love these people. These are good people."
Also on the stand Tuesday were members of the Tustin Police Department and T-Mobile, who tracked a phone used by Richardson with two miles of the Tustin Home Depot minutes before Egan was shot to death.
Richardson was arrested at the office of his parole officer in a silver Ford Windstar van – the same make and model seen surveillance video shows peeling out of the Home Depot parking lot after Egan was gunned down. Tustin police testified they tailed Richardson while he drove around in the van.
The same cell phone tracked near the Tustin Home Depot was found in the van when Richardson was arrested, Tustin police Sgt. Michael Van Cleve said.
Richardson's lawyers are expected to begin presenting his defense Thursday.

Two wooden gym rings (9.5" across x 4" grip circum.) and two black ratchet style straps (18' long x 1.5"w). Every lifter must first be able to control their bodyweight before they progress onto weighted movements. Even after months or years of training, there are always bodyweight exercises in our program. Rings and straps are a great way to increase difficulty for the advanced lifters, while helping them gain a command over their own bodyweight. Rings and straps have a great deal of mobility. As the lifter presses against the rings, they will often vibrate or move and stabilizing this movement creates a higher degree of muscle recruitment. We use them often during the accessory lift portion of our training protocols. Additionally, both are portable, affordable to make at home, and easy to set up. Most importantly, rings and straps are versatile. We use them for a variety of exercises, unlike many gym machines that serve only one function. Big Three Ring/Strap Exercises. You won't see many people using rings like gymnasts-that requires learning a whole new sport. However, these training tools can be implemented with exercises that you regularly perform. Ring Dip. The primary muscles targeted during the dip are chest, shoulders, and triceps. As mentioned earlier, ring dips provide an entirely different training effect than bar dips. Ring dips will require a great deal of upper body strength and stability. Ring Push Up. The muscles targeted during the push-up are similar to the dip-chest, shoulders, and triceps. However, due to the movement of the rings, a greater amount of core strength will be required. Scarecrows. Looks easy, but scarecrows will target your rear delts and the muscles surrounding the scapula like few exercises can. The movement is performed by holding the straps in front of your chin while in the standing position. Pull the straps apart until your arms are straight to the side, parallel to the ground. To make the movement more difficult, simply slide your feet forward. Rings and straps are an effective addition to any training tool box. Athletes have used rings for nearly two centuries. Both training tools have sculpted some of the strongest men (in terms of relative body strength) in Olympic history. Gymnastics rings are amazing strength training tools. Designed specifically for fitness training they are lightweight and easily portable. You can throw them over a tree, pull-up bar, goal post or beam for one of the most basic, yet challenging strength training tools known to man. Training with rings offers exceptionally effective bodyweight exercises. Predominantly an upper body training tool there are hundreds of possible exercises that can give you a lifetime of challenges. From basic ring push-ups, dips, and pull-ups, to planches, levers and iron crosses. The rings offer no shortage of strength training goals to overcome. Benefits of ring training. Builds incredible strength. Promotes development of a lean, muscular physique. Durable, lightweight and ultra-portable.

I thought maybe this book would make me like Sarah Silverman more, but it didn't! It made me like her even less (if that is possible). She just isn't funny! The book was boring - I had to make myself finish it. Save your money and don't purchase this horrible book!
Not having to listen to Sarah Silverman's voice!
No - nothing.
Sarah Silverman needs to never write another book (and if she does have someone else narrate it for her so we don't have to suffer through that whiney voice).
"Better when I read it Myself"
I previously read this book myself and really liked it, but Sarah's reading actually made the book less funny. Very disappointing.
"Nearly Peed Laughing at Times"
There are parts that are so outrageously funny that it made me want to read and see everything that Sarah Silverman has ever done. However, I also found about 40% of the book kind of boring and blah. This is absolutely not for the faint of heart - she is pretty raunchy, which I take no issue with, but thought I should give fair warning.
"Don't judge a book by it's forward"
When I listened to Audible's sample of this book, I thought that it be would be a good comedy book, however the first 7 chapters was focused only on bedwetting. Perhaps, I should have expected this from the title, but I tend to not judge a book only on it's title. This book may be great for people not wanting a laugh, but a relatable story (if they were a bedwetter as a child) or wanting the Sarah Silverman biography. However, Sarah Silverman makes for a good narrator.
"When the pee hits the fan, Sarah is behind it"
Yes, I would. Sarah is a great comedian and I love her quick delivery of one liners. I was laughing out loud so much that I think I missed some of the jokes/observations she mase in delivering the story.
Well there really was only one character... Sarah. Unless you want to call her bed wetting and name dropping celebrity encounters as characters...
No I have not. I have seen her stand up shows. Always funny and a unique talent.
Laugh out loud on more than one occasion. Its a keep a box of Kleenex near you to dry your eyes kinda book, but in a good way...
This would be a great book to listen to while on a long trip somewhere -to pass the time laughing your way to your destination !
"Absolutely loved it"
Loved it! Couldn't stop listening!! Very much enjoyed Sarah's reading and enjoyed the story through and through
"Mostly Funny, Often Thoughtful"
This book is an odd mix of Silverman. It feels in large part to me the way I imagine she would be if you won some contest to have dinner with her: she'd be funny, thoughtful, a little confessional, and always herself. She'd also try a little too hard to be everything she knows you'd expect her to be.
I happen to love a lot of Silverman's work. At her best she plays a character who's both innocent and shocking, a kind of child-who-speaks-the-painful-truth. In that character, she's gotten off some of the really powerful one-liners of the last decade. Out of that character, she's reflected thoughtfully on how that character works and what her success says about contemporary America.
We get some of both aspects of that dynamic here. In a chapter where she complains about her days at summer camp, she calls Jewish summer camp, "The second worst kind of camp for Jews." I find myself simultaneously offended and impressed at how much she can pack into so few words.
We also get a sometimes painful memoir of her life as, as the title promises, a bedwetter, something that humiliated her in adolescence and that she suggests has contributed to her public persona. And we get a few glimpses of her celebrity life, with good stories about the ways that Al Franken, Gary Shandling, and a few others inspired and mentored her.
Not everything hits, and the constant changing of tone and focus can fall flat at times, but this is still Silverman doing her best to be charming and funny, and that's certainly good enough for me. She does both better than almost any of her peers, and I found myself a bit surprised that, when this ended, I was kind of disappointed there wasn't more.
"Everything you'd expect from Sarah Silverman"
I almost didn't buy this book because of the negative reviews, then I read one review that said "you should never miss an opportunity to hear a comedic author deliver their book in their own voice" which I agree with fully..... So i downloaded it.
I'm glad I did.... I love Sarah, even though she's crude and raunchy, it's all for comedic shock value and that's WHY you love her right!!?
The story is good, it shares some insight on her show, how she writes comedy and such but also gives a background on her vulnerabilities and insecurities which is a side of her you don't often see. So that was pretty cool too.
All in all pretty well written and very well delivered in my opinion.
"For More Than SS Fans"
Another fun and informative tale of a budding artist and a woman growing up in America. Valuable information about TV production and the choices to be made in the entertainment industry. Highly recommended!

Queen's Speech signals a new Immigration Bill is on its way
The opening of the 2013-14 session of Parliament today, with the Queen's annual speech in the House of Lords offering an overview of the Government's legislative programme for the year ahead, has turned out to be rather a muddle on the question of immigration. Immigration was trailed in the media, presumably following a Downing Street press release, as the big issue to watch out for in the Queen's speech. Yesterday's news reported that the Queen would announce details of a major crackdown on benefits and healthcare for foreign nationals, particularly EU nationals, in the UK, following David Cameron's immigration speech on these issues in Ipswich back in March.
But by early afternoon, once again, it all appeared to have been somewhat overstated. The Queen's Speech itself was restricted to breaking the news that we can now expect a new Immigration Bill over the coming year (probably in the autumn) that will 'further reform Britain's immigration system' - with no specific reference to EU migration, welfare benefits or social housing. A Home Office briefing reports that the three main goals of the Bill will be: 'stopping immigrants accessing services they are not entitled to; making it easier to remove people from the UK and harder for people to prolong their stay with spurious appeals; and specifying that foreign nationals who commit serious crimes shall, except in extraordinary circumstances, be deported'.
Overall, the measures outlined for inclusion in the Immigration Bill seem primarily concerned with increasing immigration checking responsibilities among landlords, employers and health services. According to the briefing, the Bill will include:
- A new requirement for private landlords to check the immigration status of their tenants. This would include the nearly 2 million buy-to-let property owners in the UK who would be required to check the papers of their tenants in order to ensure their right to be in the UK. This approach has already been criticised by housing charities and landlords associations, who have protested that landlords should not be given the responsibilities of immigration officers and questioned how this would work in practice. Interviewed this morning, health secretary Jeremy Hunt acknowledged that government does not yet have the answers to those questions. What seems clear is that the wider problems relating to exploitative landlords who pack legally and irregularly resident migrants into overpriced houses of multiple occupation or 'beds in sheds' would not be addressed by this new set of requirements.
- Introduction of 'tough action' against employers of irregular migrants, including higher fines. Employers have had increased responsibility for the immigration status of their workers since the introduction of the new civil penalty system in 2008. This means that 'tough action' has already been in place, with up to £10,000 fines levied against employers of irregular migrants who haven't carried out the required document checks. MRN's view, based on accounts from trades unions and workers associations, is that giving employers immigration responsibilities has thus far often resulted in confusion among employers, discrimination against minority workers, and persecution of many small ethnic businesses by the immigration authorities. How Government would step up action against employers is as yet unknown.
- Regulation of migrant access to the NHS, 'ensuring that temporary migrants make a contribution'. Interviewed today, business secretary Vince Cable reported that different policy options in this area are still on the table for consideration. A statement by Jeremy Hunt in Parliament on this matter back in March reported that Government plans to hold a consultation with medical professionals to consider the options, and mentioned that Government is considering introducing a prepayment or insurance requirement for temporary visitors to pay for NHS health care, as well as increasing screening for patient eligibility. We know that this has been met with real concern among health professionals who are concerned about the impacts of measures which increase immigration control responsibilities within the NHS for both migrants and on the health service.
- In addition, we can expect efforts to prevent irregular migrants from obtaining UK driving licences; new measures on enforcement and appeals including restricting the right of appeal to 'the most important' immigration issues and new provisions to 'give the full force of legislation' to the changes to Article 8 consideration introduced by home secretary Theresa May last year.
All this should generate plenty more debate about the potential impacts of the measures outlined for inclusion in the Bill on migrants' rights in the UK, particularly in terms of the costs of giving large numbers of people with little expertise in immigration documentation new checking responsibilities. And it leaves question marks firmly in place over how Government now intends to introduce any new changes in relation to EU migrants' access to social welfare and housing in the UK ahead of January 2014. Expect more on all these issues in due course.
Other users went on to read:
Another case if the government not living in the real world you often fund that people with legal papers rent a house in there own name then sub let to illegal immigrants or multiple illegal immigrant making a profit and the original landlord has no idea s how does that solve a problem ?
The old story is:
- the reason why we/migrants are here is because countries like the UK occupies/invades our country causing landlessness, degradation, poverty and total havoc! As an example, my grand/parents were amongst the thousands of displaced peoples when there was a big UK/US mining project in the country of 7,107 islands. The Philippine government's main recourse to the adverse effect of these foreign invasion is through exporting the labour of the Filipino people to the country that invaded the Philippines. So, you can see loads of Filipinos here (and elsewhere) mainly employed in health & service sector and infrastructure - nurses, carers, domestic, nannies, hotel/hosptility workers, building and construction etc.
- the UK goes to the Philippines under the guise of development but actually building more profit and use of cheap labour. This is done through inculcating ideologies that Philippines should depend with foreign companies for development and competition with the world market.
- the UK companies work closely with the Philippine state in order to secure and sustain extractions of natural recources.
- communities that opposes these invasions or projects are subject to arrest, torture, imprisonment and death.
- Philippines ($24 billion) is among the tops 3 recipients of officially recorded remittances in 2012 next to China ($60 billion) and India ($69 billion)
- poor migrants were put to situations so they become powerless.
This is just a tiny segment of the whole story. The challenge is to expose the genuine role of the UK empire/state in terms of migration of peoples they want to devalue. Surely, the UK government have all the resources to propagate racism, demonisation of migrants. Migrants do not have those resources but they have one in common:
The HISTORY of what forces to come to the UK leaving behind their beautiful countries, love ones and their identity...
This stories must be re- told and asserted!

Well said not only in your country same as west african with rich natural resources yet they do not want us anyway one day the poors we have nothing to eat except the rich.
This is not only in Phillipnes. Come to Nigeria and see what devastation the oil companies have done to the country in collaboration with the British government. The same British government turned its face the other way with its officials drinking chanpagne and wines at the Commonwealth summit the very day the Nigerian government murdered the internationally renowned enviromental issues activist - Ken Saro-Wiwa -simply for digging out the dirts on the devastation being caused by British companies around his homeland. The same year British Petroleum and Shell declared another stupendous profits of billions of pounds. Except for the lone of voice of the late Anita Roddicks of Bodyshop many people in the UK wouldn't have known what their government is up to in Nigeria.
A couple of years ago, a queue formed as a young man from Nigeria was arrested at the Heathrow Airport for having no genuine entry visa but he claimed asylum telling the immigration officers that he was fleeing 'official persecution' from Nigeria because the security forces were after his life for distrupting oil production by damaging BP and Shell installations. He said oil explorations in his homeland has destroyed his father's farms and source of income hence his farther is no longer able to finance his education and in annoyance caused the damages. (such actions by young men are common over there) The immigration officers asked him why UK? Why not claim asylum in any other country and to which the young man replied that the UK is part of the problem that led to his family's destitution and not 'other country' and funningly (to observers) warned the immigration officers that his brothers and sisters are soon on the way to UK and there is nothing the officers can do to stop them. Now to those who may not know, these companies have their own police force in Nigeria -employed and paid by them -to guard their facilities and also help to track and nail down people like this young man and Nigeria is a country in which when a police man failed to grab an offender they can lock up any of your closest relations till you produce the offender. Today there are many people like these young man all over the UK and other countries in the world trying to fend for themselves but in the UK, the British government, its right wing and racist politicians and racist think thanks and newspapers must demonize them in the eyes of its citizens by blaming and attacking them as 'illegal immigrants, 'benefit scorungers' even when these people are working and paying taxes.
Now the planned government action following the queen's speech apart from bringing up all kinds of legal questions will not only succeed in sending coded messages to racists by giving them the red flags but also worsen the plight of the homeless and the attendant problems facing the charity organisations tackling the issues, when thousands of so called 'illegal immigrants' are turned away by landlords unto our streets. As some has rightly said, only a heartless government will implement such regulations. Progressive groups in this country have come a long way in putting the Discrimination laws in place which the Tories have no respect for in the first instance. One can only pray we don't go back to their days of 'NO LETTINGS TO BLACK AND IRISH'!
