The shower is a vital part of any bathroom and is actually becoming the must have luxury item; therefore it is important that it functions correctly. In order for this to happen, you need to ensure that you have a high enough water pressure for the shower to do its job correctly. Showers receive water from the mains, and if it isn't at a high enough pressure, the water will trickle out, or in some cases, not come out at all, and because you have installed your shower, you may not be able to get your money back. Before you look into buying a shower, you need to check your water pressure. If it is relatively low, you may need to consider a pump to boost your water supply. A shower pump can instantly boost the flow of your water turning it from a damp mist to an invigorating and refreshing powerful experience.
We offer a comprehensive range of shower pumps from leading manufacturers such as Salamander, Stuart Turner and Techflow. These trusted manufacturer's lead the way in innovation and design on the pump market. With such a vast range available, we are confident that we have the perfect pump to transform your showering experiences.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
My long-time career crush, John Maeda, just released the second ever "#DesignInTech" Report from KPCB. The report explains how "great design is changing how we live and work" and is a fascinating read covering a wide range of topics; design trends, mobile app design, predictions, funding, M&A activity and reviews of major players. A couple of specific findings are well covered in the report but three elements jumped out at me and have immediate resonance for business folks:
1) Designing for addiction will be big bucks in the next 18 months.
This is a burgeoning field and area of contention within the design and UI/UX community. Darkpatterns.org is a great site that explains how users are tricked and lured into make decisions through simple design tweaks and other methods. Some view such practices as a smart application of behavioural economics while others believe it to be a serious ethical issue that needs regulation. TAKEAWAY: Whatever side of the arguement you fall on, the methods work (for now at least) and lots can be learned, applied and monetised if you can move quick enough.
2) The future of design is self-trained and either "Business" or "Technology" focused.
86% of students surveyed said that they learned their digital skills outside of their coursework. This finding huge implications for internal training, recruitment and also the influences they will have before they hit the workplace. Further insight from the slides imply that the old rules are being learned and quickly disregarded as new technology and business models demand unique and not-seen-before responses to emerging problems. TAKEAWAY: Check out the LinkedIn owned Lynda to see the caliber of online courses available and start adding them into training schedules.
3) Learn from niche networks and apply upwards.
I have said before that business has a lot to learn from apps like Grindr. In the report, Maeda echoes this sentiment and talks about other interesting networks that have solved some difficult issues using design. In essence, the argument is that good design means more trust and trust is good for business. TAKEAWAY: Set aside some time to think about the ways your business encourages trust in your brand or test what users really think using a service like Criticue.

The payout will have taken more than five years since BCCI collapsed in the summer of 1991 with debts of $10bn.
It has been held up by lengthy court procedures, but Deloitte & Touche, the liquidators, are understood to have now agreed a firm date for the dividend.
The 24.5 per cent payout is significantly more than the 20 per cent liquidators had first estimated.
A Luxembourg court approved the details of the payment proposed by Deloitte & Touche earlier this month. But the court gave its approval to the main planks of the settlement before Christmas, ending years of frustration and legal squabbling in the wake of the discovery of the record-breaking fraud.
The largest single part of the funds used to pay creditors comes from Abu Dhabi, the majority shareholder in BCCI, which has handed over $1.55bn to the liquidators as part of a $1.8bn global settlement.
About $450m has been won in a settlement with a prominent Saudi Arabian banking family, while more money has been located in the United States. Altogether about $3.3bn has been put into the pot for creditors.
There are 250,000 creditors worldwide, of whom about 40,000 are based in the UK, where the Bank of England's deposit protection scheme has paid out pounds 78m in compensation to 16,000 depositors.
However, many depositors did not come forward with claims, reinforcing suspicions that a significant part of the money at BCCI was deposited illicitly, out of the reach of the account-holders' home tax authorities.
The Bank of England initially identified 53,000 sterling accounts, but only 40,000 left contact addresses, and in the end only 16,000 made claims.
The BCCI collapse led to the largest investigation by the Serious Fraud Office, which has so far resulted in four convictions, including that of Syed Ziauddin Ali Akbar, head of the bank's overseas treasury division, who was extradited from France and sentenced to six years in prison in September 1993.
Deloitte & Touche has come under fire for the size of the fees generated for the liquidators and lawyers involved in the search for the money.
Keith Vaz, Labour MP for Leicester East, attacked fees of $285.6m paid up to January to Deloitte & Touche and to Lovell White and Durrant, its lawyer.

EVENT: Crusaders California Dreams
EVENT DATE: Mar 20, 2012
In the fall of 1986, I went to an open house for the Boston Crusaders as a teenager and a fledgling drummer. Little did I know then that during my first few months I would meet my future wife and a group of people who would become life-long friends. Over the ensuing years we formed a bond that would lead us to down a path to where we would later ban together and form a critical leadership group that helped the corps not only survive, but thrive into the 2000s and beyond.
The values of hard work, determination, and commitment to excellence we learned during our marching years have stayed with us and have helped us be successful in life. Today, the next generation of Boston Crusaders are learning and absorbing the same set of values. This is why I feel so strongly about the impact the Boston Crusaders have on the lives of young people.
Although fielding a world class touring drum corps is quite expensive, I believe the costs of sustaining programs like this are well worth the investment. The corps operates many vehicles that travel thousands of miles throughout the summer. The organization attempts to keep the cost of membership as reasonable as possible, and that's why fundraisers like these are so important.
Please give as you are able and know that your funds are helping to build the leaders of tomorrow.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you are able to provide.

Summer is here, and for many of us this means some quality beach time! While the summertime certainly brings fun in the sun, your weekdays still mean business. It is very important, especially for individuals just starting out in their field, to stay focused and continue to thrive in the workplace despite the distraction of beautiful weather. Here's an idea: as you work with the shore on your mind, take the following beach checklist and try applying it to your work week:
- Dive right in – When heading into the ocean it's always best to jump right into the water rather than tiptoe in. While it's always great to get your toes wet, I encourage you to dive head first into both the ocean and your work. Although it may be much scarier, you will find that the experience is also much more interesting and rewarding.
- Come prepared – A trip to the beach always requires a packed bag and a plan. When headed to the shore, you always want to make sure you have your chair, towel, music, sunscreen and whatever else you may want. It is also important to know the weather forecast, water conditions and where you are headed for the day. This type of preparation should be taken in all aspects of your life, especially while at work. As you head into your job or a client meeting, it is vital that you always come ready with a plan and everything you may need.
- Dress appropriately – Although the weather may be very warm, it is important to wear appropriate clothing. With the sun beating down on the shore, you may not be as comfortable covered up with a hat on but it is important to dress appropriately when the sun is so strong. Similarly, at the workplace it is important that you dress appropriately regardless of the weather outside. Your dress attire is a reflection of your personal professionalism and work ethic, so skip the flip flops.
- Protect yourself and your company – You have probably seen your fair share of sunburns after a day at the beach and understand the importance of protecting yourself from damaging results. At work, it is also very important to protect yourself in regard to reputation and integrity. Reputation is everything, so be sure to always guard it. Much like applying sunscreen, you want to make sure you are thorough and consistent in your work. You want to be sure to represent yourself and your company to the highest degree.
- Enjoy your company – You rarely go to the beach with individuals who don't enjoy all it has to offer, so why do so at work? When you go to the beach you often bring company that will enjoy and enhance the time spent there. At your workplace, I encourage you to do the same. Surround yourself with coworkers who have real passion for their work and a can-do attitude. This positive attitude and effort shared between coworkers will vibrate throughout your workplace, ultimately enhancing your work environment.
By keeping these summer tips in mind and applying them to your work, your summer is sure to be a success, both professionally and personally.

Experiencing Costa Dulce with it's empty beach and amazing sunsets is really something you have to see to believe. With no other resorts or people around the days melt away and you are engulfed in complete tranquility and relaxation. It is an incredible feeling!
Costa Dulce's yoga studio features stunning views and the soothing sounds of jungle and ocean. Monkey infused yoga sessions have been known to occur. Our 900 square foot rancho style yoga platform stands alone over-looking Escameca Nature Reserve and the beach. It also doubles as an excellent event center. WIth a large fully equipped kitchen and common area you can host dinners for up to 60 people and then dance the night away.
Includes daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The location was spectacular! The staff at Costa Dulce were wonderful often going above and beyond. I enjoyed the Nicaraguan foods we were treated to for many of our meals. The activities offered were unique and so much fun! My only concern would be about organization/ communication of activity arrangements, whether regarding times, additional costs... Etc. Loved this trip, would do it again I. A heartbeat!!!
Great! Really lovely location and fun times in the sun!
Amazing, words are not enough to express the awesome experience!
Overall the trip was amazing. I had a great time.
The transportation to the hotel was easy to find and conveniently set up for us. Costa Dulce was not what I was expecting. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had known what I was getting into, and would have packed very differently. It was more of a hostel on the ocean than a hotel. Small rooms with no locks, screen walls, and bugs everywhere. Some rooms had bathrooms, others you'd have to walk outside to get to the bathroom, and showers were shared by several rooms. No A/C and limited airflow in the rooms lead to hot and buggy nights. The meals were good, and what seemed to be authentic Nicaraguan food-very carb heavy and little protein. There was a super convenient 'honor bar' where you could get beer, wine, rum, or soda and charge it to your room. Massages were great, on site, and super cheap. Most of the activities were done by local contractors and very well done. Horseback riding was awesome. My group and ambassador was great, but have a few more creature comforts would have been appreciated.
My trip to Costa Dulce was incredible beyond words. From the location to the food, from the yoga classes to the energy of the city, everything was perfect. The location is beautiful and very rustic, the food was some of the best I've ever had--each meal was more delicious than the one before, and the yoga itself was absolutely amazing. Massages, surfing, and nature walks were wonderful too. Would recommend and definitely travel there again.
This trip exceeded my expectations in every way. Costa Dulce is a beautiful, peaceful place staffed with kind and caring people! Emma and Jess's yoga and meditation instruction was top-notch. We had a BLAST!
The retreat location was great, rustic, but that was to be expected. Food was fantastic, they were wonderful about accommodating dietary restrictions and the place was so relaxing.
My group and I loved Costa Dulce and the staff! The location was idyllic and I could not have asked for a better retreat venue and participants who joined.
Happy to have found this laid back resort. I would recommend this resort to anyone looking for a safe place to enjoy Nicaragua. The staff went over and beyond my expectations. Much to do or do nothing you will enjoy this place.
This trip was absolutely wonderful. The staff at the resort was so friendly, the food was delicious, and the location was something out of a fantasy.
This retreat was amazing! Costa Dulce is a one of a kind location with an amazing staff. Also the food every day was super fresh and health. We all looked forward to the smoothie of the day each morning!
We had an amazing time at Costa Dulce. The food and accommodations were excellent, and the staff were great. We so enjoyed the fact that it was an eco-resort and blended into the jungle and ocean surroundings. It was the perfect place to unplug, recharge, practice yoga, meditate and just relax. Definitely a special place!
The trip was amazing. Costa Dolce is a beautiful place, and the staff was great. I would recommend this place to anyone.

PITTSBURGH - The night before his NFL debut against the defense that was supposed to tear him from limb to limb, Colt McCoy used the final team meeting to ease everyone's mind.
"Most guys sit down when they talk to the team. He stood up and looked everybody in the eyes," tight end Evan Moore said.
"And he just said to have confidence in him 'cuz he has confidence in us," added receiver Chansi Stuckey.
McCoy's poise and command of the offense were evident in the Browns' 28-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in loud, foreboding Heinz Field. He didn't win the game, but he won a lot of respect.
The rookie from Texas completed 23-of-33 passes for 281 yards and a 12-yard touchdown to Benjamin Watson with 4:09 to go. He was sacked five times and intercepted twice. It could've been much worse considering that Josh Cribbs and Mohamed Massaquoi were knocked out of the game by Steelers linebacker James Harrison in a seven-minute span in the second quarter.
Cribbs had rolled to the right, looking to throw from the wildcat formation, then tucked the ball in and cut inside. As he turned in, Harrison left his feet and led with his helmet, which struck Cribbs' helmet. The collision left Cribbs on the ground for several minutes. He walked off the field under his own power but never returned.
Massaquoi was turning inside to the middle of the field for a McCoy pass when Harrison knocked him in the helmet with both arms. Massaquoi also left under his own power and did not return.
Harrison did not draw a flag with either hit.

In a 1935 stage production of Billy Rose's Jumbo, Jimmy Durante is leading an elephant down the street. A policeman stops him and asks, "What are you doing with that elephant?"
Durante responds, "What elephant"? That line became a 1935 nightly show-stopper. Durante repeated the same question in the 1962 film version of Jumbo (right).
Wikipedia speculates that this line may have contributed to the phrase, "the elephant in the room", which refers to the denial of something as a reality, when that something is obviously in the room.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres last week became the latest official to deny the obvious presence of the apartheid elephant enforced by the state of Israel.

Martino Diez | Oasis | 01 March 2017
We are publishing the excerpt of the speech delivered by Martino Diez, Scientific director of the Oasis Foundation, at the seminar held on February 22 – 23 at the University of Al-Azhar in Cairo on "the fight against fanaticism, extremisms and violence in the name of religion". The seminar, led by the Deputy of Al-Azhar 'Abbas Shuman and Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, marks the resumption of the dialogue between Al-Azhar and the Vatican. The full text will be published in a volume curated by the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue and al-Azhar.
[…] Compared to other forms of extremism, owns the specific feature of using the language of faith as a mobilizing force. There is nothing surprising in this: religion is one of the major forces behind man. It would seem easy to dismiss the matter by saying that fanaticism represents an opportunistic use of religion for purposes unrelated to it, for example of political nature, but in reality things are not that simple: the majority of fanatics, including their leaders, acts in good faith, without hypocrisy. Refusing to reckon this basic fact means condemning oneself to not understand the phenomenon from the very beginning.

March 18, 2017
Dear Mr. Secretary-General,
I have carefully considered your message conveyed through the Chef de Cabinet and assure you that at no point have I questioned your right to order the withdrawal of the report from our website or the fact that all of us working in the Secretariat are subject to the authority of its Secretary-General. Nor do I have any doubts regarding your commitment to human rights in general, or your firm position regarding the rights of the Palestinian people. I also understand the concerns that you have, particularly in these difficult times that leave you little choice.

Once again Israel acts with rage because it cannot cope with the Truth. It is very unfortunate that, the UN has not only failed for the last seventy years to bring justice to the Palestinians, it has also lost its credibility for reacting outrageously against any statements or reports that expose the truth about Israel. The recent report of ESCWA describing Israel's treatment of Palestinians as apartheid led to the resignation of Rima Khalaf, a Jordanian UN diplomat and executive secretary of the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia when she was pressured by the UN General Secretary to withdraw the report.

BETHLEHEM – On March 14 -15, 2017, the Assembly of Catholic Ordinaries of the Holy Land met at Casa Nova in Bethlehem. At the heart of the discussions were the Catholic schools of the diocese and the youth of the Holy Land, in preparation for the October 2018 Synod on the theme "Youth, faith and vocational discernment".
The Ordinaries held their bi-annual meeting in Bethlehem on Tuesday and Wednesday. The discussions were facilitated by the Greek-Catholic Archbishop of Galilee George Bacouni with the participation of the two Apostolic Nuncios of Cyprus, Israel, Palestine and Jordan, Archbishop Lazzarotto and Archbishop Ortega Martin; the Apostolic Administrator of the Latin Patriarchate, Archbishop. Pierbattista Pizzaballa and the four Patriarchal Vicars, Bishops William Shomali and Giacinto-Boulos Marcuzzo , and Fathers David Neuhaus and Jerzy Kraj. Also present at the meeting were Patriarch Emeritus Michel Sabbah and Bishop Emeritus Kamal Bathish; the Maronite Archbishops Joseph Soueif of Cyprus and Moussa El-Hage of the Holy Land; Greek-Catholic Archbishop of Jerusalem Jules-Joseph Zerey; , Greek Catholic Archbishop Emeritus of Akka Bishop Boutros Mouallem; the Custos of the Holy Land, Fr. Francesco Patton; a representative of the Syrian Catholic Church, Fr. Efrem; and representatives of religious communities.
Fr. Patton, Custos of the Holy Land took advantage of this gathering to invite everyone to the inauguration of the restored Aedicule in the Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher on March 22.
The discussions then focused on the Catholic youth of the Holy Land and the Catholic schools of the diocese, which are still going through a difficult period, particularly in Israel with a financial crisis that remains unresolved, as the Israeli Ministry of Education has not honored its commitments. School leaders from different countries of the diocese presented a joint paper on the mission and vision of Catholic schools that will be further developed in the coming months before being validated by the bishops.

VATICAN/CAIRO – Since their rapprochement in May 2016, the Vatican and Al-Azhar saw their first interreligious symposium last February, after several years of restrained relations. In the meanwhile and awaiting fruitful results, the faithful search for their role and place in interreligious dialogue.
On February 22- 23, 2017, a symposium entitled "The role of Al-Azhar Al- Sharif and of the Vatican in confronting the phenomena of fanaticism, extremism and violence in the name of religion" took place at Al-Azhar University in Cairo.
As an influential Islamic institution, Al-Azhar oversees a national network of schools, where a secular and religious curriculum is taught to two million students, and runs the Islamic Research Complex, which is in charge of issuing edicts that pertain to the public interest.

The year 1291 A.D. was a dark year for Christian Crusaders in the Holy Land. When the Crusader capital of Jerusalem was lost to Saladin in 1187, the Haifa Bay port of Acre became the new landing site for European soldiers, knights, and horses as well as an international trading hub for the export of sugar, spices, glass, and textiles back to Europe. But by the spring of 1291, an Egyptian sultan, Al-Ashraf Khalil, had moved in with 100,000 cavalry and foot soldiers to banish the Crusaders from the Holy Land once and for all.
Marine archeologists have now discovered the remains of a treasure-laden Crusader ship that they have reason to believe was one of many vessels that tried to flee Acre when the sultan stormed the city, Haaretz reports. The wood on the ship dates back to between 1062 and 1250 A.D. but among the keel and planks that remain the archaeologists also discovered 30 gold coins.

CYPRUS – From March 11-13, 2017, Archbishop Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Apostolic Administrator of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, visited the Cyprus parishes, priests and Knights of the Holy Sepulcher. There were many moments of fraternity, sharing, and ecumenical interaction.
The two-day visit began with a Mass in the parish of Nicosia, one of the four Latin parishes of Cyprus. The small island of the Diocese of Jerusalem actually has three parishes run by the Franciscans (Nicosia, Larnaca and Limassol) and a parish run by the Community of the Incarnate Word in Paphos. Mass in the parish of Nicosia was an opportunity for the Archbishop to recall how "the Patriarchate includes different realities, Jordan and Cyprus, for example, but Jerusalem unites us, Jerusalem is the symbol of our unity."

An "invisible" Catholic organization celebrated 90 years of quiet service to the poor in the Middle East, northeast Africa, India and Eastern Europe.
Msgr. John E. Kozar, secretary of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association, said the agency maintains a low profile because it works through and with the local church.
"They know best how to represent the face of Christ. We trust their experience, holiness and knowledge about how to govern and care for their people," he said in a Feb 28 interview with Catholic News Service.
The mission of the organization is to serve and accompany Eastern Catholic churches in pastoral and humanitarian activities, generally at the level of the diocese or eparchy, Msgr. Kozar said. A secondary mission is to share the needs of the Eastern churches with people in North America who may be confused about where Eastern churches fit in the larger Catholic picture.

MADABA — Aimed at helping people displaced by war and terror rebuild their lives, a project in the "City of Mosaics" is training Iraqi refugees with skills to face future challenges.
The Living Mosaic project in Madaba, 30km southwest of Amman, is financially supported by the Patriarchate of Jerusalem in cooperation with the Knights of the Holy Sepulcher of Germany, according to Father Imad Twal, a Catholic priest in Jerusalem.
The initiative teaches Iraqi refugees to design and craft mosaics in order to earn a living.
Nihad, not her real name, is one of thousands of Iraqi Christians who took refuge in Jordan after the Daesh terror group took over parts of Iraq in 2014, forcing them to leave their country or risk death.
"I used to be a biology teacher and I loved it. Now I am a refugee, broken, tired and very much desperate, and I say that on behalf of everyone I know," the 37-year-old told The Jordan Times.
For Nihad and 15 others, life has become a little more bearable since joining the Living Mosaic project.

IF SOMEONE had told me 50 years ago that the rulers of Israel, Jordan and Egypt had met in secret to make peace, I would have thought that I was dreaming.
If I had been told that the leaders of Egypt and Jordan had offered Israel complete peace in return for leaving the occupied territories, with some exchanges of territory and a token return of refugees, I would have thought that the Messiah had come. I would have started to believe in God or Allah or whoever there is up there.
Yet a few weeks ago it was disclosed that the rulers of Egypt and Jordan had indeed met in secret last year with the Prime Minister of Israel in Aqaba, the pleasant sea resort where the three states touch each other. The two Arab leaders, acting de facto for the entire Arab world, had made this offer. Benyamin Netanyahu gave no answer and went home.

JERUSALEM — The first organized Holy Land pilgrimage in Pontifical Swiss Guard history quietly took place last month, with none of the attention the Pope's foot soldiers ordinarily attract.
Dressed in their civilian clothes and not their distinctive orange-purple-and-red uniforms, 12 of the 110 guardsmen who protect the Pope toured Christian holy sites throughout Israel and the Palestinian territories Feb. 13-19.
"The main purpose of the trip was to learn more about the places where Jesus lived, where he preached, where he died and was resurrected," said Father Thomas Widmer, the group's chaplain, during a visit to the Pontifical Institute Notre Dame in Jerusalem. "For most of us, it is our first time here, and we are full of impressions."
The pilgrimage included visits to Bethlehem, Jerusalem and the Galilean sites of Nazareth, Tabgha and Capernaum.

The 'Entry to Israel Act (Denial of Visa to Non-Residents Who Knowingly Call for a Boycott on Israel)' apparently makes no distinction between boycotting Israel proper and boycotting products of the settlements, which are widely considered illegal under international law.

BETHLEHEM – Hundreds of Palestinians rejoiced in the streets of Bethlehem on Saturday evening, February 25, 2017, after the victory of the young Christian singer, Shaheen Yacoub, who became second Palestinian to win the Arab TV contest, Arab Idol, one of the most popular programs of the Arab world, a competition for young talent.
Yacoub Shaheen, 23, a Syrian Christian and son of a Bethlehem carpenter, won Saturday night's Arab Idol competition, competing with another Palestinian and a Yemeni in the final, in Lebanon.
Yacoub (in English, James), a young acolyte of the Syrian parish of Bethlehem, has been able to follow the star. He became the second Palestinian to win this prestigious competition, after Mohammed Assaf, in 2013, who grew up in a Palestinian refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.
Read MoreIn his email to the Palestinian Christians group, Mazin Qumsiyeh wrote:
My encounter with the Al-Araj family began in 2009, the year I met Basil and Shireen and started joining them in demonstrations in Al-Walaja village. On 6 March 2017, Basil was murdered by the Israeli army. He was 31 years old. Others will speak of his martyrdom, I will speak of his life and what he told me. Basil would have wanted it told this way. I learned intimate details about Basil and his family life the third time we were detained together. He was 24 years old; I was twice his age. This was in what Basil accurately described as "a holding pen not fit for animals" which I and many Palestinian males shared with one Palestinian female, my friend and Basil's aunt Shireen Al-Araj. I had been "taken" twice before with Basil and once with Shireen before this particular incident (and more after). It was these arrests that deepened my high regard for the family. Beyond their decency and honest dealings were acts of self-sacrifice that earned the family the respect of their entire village of Al-Walaja and I dare say all of Palestine. This is similar to Al-Tamimi family of Nebi Saleh and it was no coincidence that Basem Tamimi was there with us in Al-Walaja the day after Basil's murder. Here I am not telling you the story of Basil, but I am recounting what Basil told me and what I had written down in 2014 (was planning to publish inspirational Palestinian stories in a book). I merely now edited it to (a) add this introduction), (b) change to past tense instead of present tense ('Basil says or relays' now becomes 'Basil said or relayed'), and (c) to include a brief ending with his last words.
Read MoreCommentary: The articles and links of this issue of the Middle East Notes focus on the viability or demise of the "two-state solution." The majority of the Palestinian leaders and people would accept such a solution, even though they believe current the "fact of the ground" that settlers, settlements, the wall, access roads, and blockade have already made this solution impossible.
The majority of Israeli leaders and people prefer either the status quo or annexation of the occupied territories. It seems the Israeli people are choosing a "one-state" solution and are now facing the question of what kind of state that will be with almost numerically equal Israeli and Palestinian populations.
There seem to be three choices: to continue the untenable and ultimately unsustainable status quo of military domination of Palestinians; to foster full political rights and responsibilities for all Palestinians and Israelis alike in this one state which will slowly end the Zionist dream of a nation for and of Jews; or to deny political rights and responsibilities to Palestinians within the borders of this one apartheid state. In light of Israeli domination of the Palestinians, it is only Israel that has the power, challenge, and responsibility to make such a choice.

Our delegation was deeply impressed by the aid work being done by the church in Syria, and no work was more impressive than that of 'Gopa Derd' – the aid arm of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate.
Anglican Father Dave Smith of Australia writes about his last trip to Syria:
Firstly, let me thank all of you who made our New Year's trip to Syria possible – supporting us financially and with prayer. Secondly, let me apolgise for the time it has taken to feed back to you about the trip.
I'll address my time issues later in this missive, but let me say first that I think the trip was highly constructive and that we achieved most of our aims, if not all of them.
We didn't get to Aleppo, and we didn't get the media focus on the Syrian people that we had been looking for. Even so, we did deliver some tangible aid and, most importantly, we did work out a way of getting ongoing aid where it's most needed.
This, in my opinion, is the biggest problem facing Syria at the moment. The victory on the battlefield is all but complete. Even so, life is not returning to normal. So many homes have been destroyed and so many people are in need, and the country is simply out of resources! The Syrian people need help in order to rebuild, yet instead of sending them aid, we impose sanctions, making it impossible for them to rebuild!
There is a demonic paradox at the heart of Western foreign policy towards Syria:
US Senator, Chris Murphy, summed up the situation rather succinctly in a Twitter Tweet recently: "We bomb your country, creating a humanitarian nightmare, then lock you inside. That's a horror movie, not a foreign policy."

NAPOLEON CAME to a German town and was not welcomed with the traditional artillery salute.
Furious, he summoned the mayor and demanded an explanation.
The German produced a long scroll of paper and said: "I have a list of 99 reasons. Reason No. 1: we have no cannon."
"That's enough'" Napoleon interrupted him, "You can go home!"
I WAS reminded of this story some two weeks ago, when I read Yitzhak Herzog's 10-point peace plan.

Interview by Myriam Ambroselli | Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem
INTERVIEW – Henrique and Carola Abreu, Knight and Lady of the Holy Sepulcher, served in the Holy Land for three years. In this interview, they both explain the profound motivation behind their mission and the challenges they faced during those years. They also talk about some concrete ways of supporting the local Christian communities.
When and how did you arrive in the Holy Land? Why did you decide to dedicate this time of your life to the local Church?
We arrived in Jerusalem in January of 2014.
Following the visit and spiritual message of the Holy Father given in Brazil in 2013, we both felt inspired by his homily of charity and love. We knew the Holy Land through our previous yearly visits to the Patriarchate and to the Christian communities.
That call marked the time to make the necessary preparations and plan for three sabbatical years to serve as volunteers. We placed our personal and professional experiences in God's hands and our desire to serve the needs of the Mother Church and the local communities, so He could decide how to best use them for our Church.

On his first trip outside of Rome, in 2013, Pope Francis traveled to Lampedusa, the island off the coast of southern Italy where African migrants and refugees, many of them Muslims, first enter Europe. There the pope evoked a central theme within the Judeo-Christian story, the practice of hospitality and welcoming God in the presence of strangers (Heb 13:2). Speaking as a child of Italian immigrants to Argentina, the pope named and rejected one of the salient experiences of our times: the globalization of human indifference. He called upon nations to practice hospitality toward refugees and immigrants, as he pointed to the tragedy of human bodies lost at sea "in boats which were vehicles of hope and became vehicles of death."
In the United States, the practice of welcoming "strangers" does not simply offer Catholics a way to keep Lady Liberty's promise to accept "your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." Catholics also welcome these persons as a fundamental expression of Christian faith.

AMMAN – On Monday, February 27, 2017, Our Lady of Peace welcomed a delegation led by Cardinal Mahony, Archbishop Emeritus of Los Angeles, and Archbishop Tomasi, Permanent Observer Emeritus to United Nations Office and Specialized Agencies in Geneva.
The two prelates celebrated morning Mass in the Church of the Good Shepherd, then had a long meeting with many Iraqi refugees from cities of the plain of Nineveh, for the most part Mosul and Qaraqosh, to express the compassion and support of the Church during their exile and time of suffering.
Hundreds of Iraqi families have been welcomed at Our Lady of Peace Center and work there, which guarantees them employment, an income and more dignified living conditions.
Read MoreLetter to the Diocese
"We have this treasure in earthen vessels"
(2 Corinthians 4:7)
Dear brother bishops and priests,
Dear brothers and sisters, faithful in all our parishes and religious communities,
"Lent is a new beginning, a path leading to the certain goal of Easter, Christ's victory over death. This season urgently calls us to conversion. Christians are asked to return to God "with all their hearts" (Joel 2:12), to refuse to settle for mediocrity and to grow in friendship with the Lord. Jesus is the faithful friend who never abandons us." With these powerful words, Pope Francis begins his letter to the faithful on the occasion of Lent.
Since July 15, 2016, I have been at the helm of the diocese as the Apostolic Administrator. I have spent these past months learning, rooting myself in what is now our shared reality: the life of our Latin Patriarchate. For the past 170 years this Patriarchate has played and still plays an important role in the life of the Christians in the Holy Land. Our parishes, schools and many other institutions have contributed much to the life of the Christians in these lands and have strengthened our witness to Christ and his Resurrection from the dead. However, we all know that the naming of an Apostolic Administrator, someone from outside the Patriarchate clergy, was an unexpected decision, and it came as a surprise shock to many. It led to the conclusion that all is not well. Indeed, mistakes have been made and wrong decisions have been made which have affected the life of the Patriarchate, financially and administratively, mainly concerning the American University of Madaba. We had failed in some important areas, perhaps not focused enough on our primary mission: preaching the Gospel and dedicate ourselves to the pastoral activities.

NAZARETH – On Saturday and Sunday, February 24 – 25, 2017, almost a hundred children from the parish of the Annunciation in Nazareth received the Sacrament of Confirmation from the hands of Bishop Giacinto-Boulos Marcuzzo. It was the culmination of three months of careful preparation
A total of 92 children between the ages of 10 and 12 were confirmed in Nazareth during two ceremonies on Saturday, February 24 and Sunday, February 25. The children were divided into two groups of boys and girls, because of the large number and for the success of the celebration.

UPDATE: Police say a robbery had occurred. They located the victim and arrested a suspect. No gun was used in the alleged robbery. The reported noise was likely the suspect's tire popping as he fled the scene, authorities said.
The sounds of a gunshot and a woman screaming have sent police on a search to find out what happened early Saturday in a west Jacksonville neighborhood.

Deputies responded to a call about the sounds at the 700 block of Talking Tree Drive shortly after 5 a.m. They found a small amount of blood on the scene, which police said could indicate someone was injured.
One witness said a vehicle fled the scene, which police have since found. They are working to contact the registered owner of the vehicle.
Police have neither a potential victim nor suspect.

Scotland upset the odds to beat World Cup giantkillers Ireland by five wickets in a one-day international at the Grange here on Tuesday.
It looked as if Ireland, who beat Test nation England at the World Cup in India earlier this year, were on course for a sixth successive victory over their Celtic rivals after piling up 320 for eight, featuring 113 from Middlesex's Paul Stirling.
But, with Kyle Coetzer having already made 89, Richie Berrington saw Scotland to the brink of success with six sixes in 23 balls during his 56.
Josh Davey, who finished on 50 not out, won the match with a four as Scotland finished on a record one-day total of 323 for five with nine balls remaining.
The match was part of a triangular series also featuring Sri Lanka, whose opening fixture against Ireland was washed out without a ball bowled on Monday.
This series concludes with Scotland's match against Sri Lanka here Wednesday.
Brief scores:
Ireland 320-8, 50 overs (P Stirling 112, A Cusack 71, A Poynter 51; P Mommsen 3-26, J Davey 3-41)
Scotland 323-5, 48.3 overs (K Coetzer 89, R Berrington 56, F Watts 54, J Davey 50 no)
Result: Scotland won by five wickets

Beautiful work. I love hearing about the various stages the films go through and what ideas came and went along the way. I hadn't heard of Clarice before.
Your Belle design is pretty close to what ended up in the movie, very close. Who makes the decisions as to who animated what? I mean, they asked you to do a design for Belle, yet you animated Gaston....how does assigning characters work on a film like this?Yes these show real talent to be able to draw such a delicate little girl and young women, great job Andreas, just curious what pen are you using here for these, it looks like your doing this without even erasing.
ReplyDeleteI liked that version of belle much better than the final one in the film. you did a lot more 'baroque' versions of her, maybe you have still some of those sketches. and the little girl was good too, as your first arrogant aristocratic version of gaston. they systematically got rid of all the good stuff...
ReplyDeleteI may have to animate your Belle a little bit for fun..your facial feature relationships are very strong and well defined. I see why they used these as a springboard for revisions.Did you get to animate her at all ?
As always, thanks fer sharing the goodness!Are those sketches of Clarice with the cat inspired at all by Ollie Johnston's Penny and Rufus?
ReplyDeleteGreat sketches of Clarice. Just curious, why did they decide to drop the character? Did she not really add anything to the story?
ReplyDeleteThink of how weird that would've been if in 1991 Beauty and the Beast, featuring little sister Clarice, lost Best Picture to The Silence of the Lambs, featuring big girl Clarice.

Street slang. meaning extreme satisfaction. As in the phrase: 'I just won dinner with Elisabeth Pena... Booyah!' Or: 'Booyah! Newt Gingrich resigned from Congress!'
In the Green Bay area, no outdoor social event, including village festivals, birthday/confirmation/graduation parties, or wedding receptions, is complete without an enormous barrel of booyah, with a stack of paper bowls and plastic untensils. Usually enough to feed 500 people.
Word origin: Possibly from the French bouillir, "to boil." (Green Bay Press-Gazette)

Package: scrollz (2.1-1.1)
An advanced ircII-based IRC client
ScrollZ is advanced IRC client based on ircII code. It adds features normally found in ircII scripts like Toolz, PhoEniX, GargOyle or Lice.
The main difference between these scripts and ScrollZ is the code. Where ircII scripts take a lot of disk and memory space and run slow, ScrollZ only takes a couple of extra kilobytes compared to stock ircII client yet runs faster than any ircII script. This was accomplished by using C code instead of ircII scripting language. This reduces memory and CPU usage and code tends to run way faster.

I'm still trying to upgrade my belts from the crappy-to-middling collection that I currently have. I have almost pulled the trigger on some Torino belts ( http://torinoleather.com/category6.asp?id=6 ) but am still not convinced that these are a real upgrade from what I've already got. Since I'm looking to upgrade at least 4 belts - black, cordovan, dark brown, and chestnut - at the premium level of $150+ per, we're talking $600+ which is -killing- me. I'm convinced from other threads that they are worth it, but that's a lot of coin for ... belts. So I'm mentally stuck on the Torino price point (more like $100 per) but still dreaming of the better ones.

Interactive map lets users transpose the slick to any location
Just how far does the spill from BP's Deepwater Horizon rig really go? It's easy to lose sight of the scale of the millions of gallons of oil in the Gulf of Mexico, but what if the source of the gusher were in your hometown?
Ifitwasmyhome.com lets you see. Type in a ZIP code or city name and the interactive map relocates its oil spill graphic to that location, preserving the scale.
Andy Linter, a software developer from Royal Oak, Mich., created and maintains the site, which uses Google Maps and spill data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It also offers news items about the spill and BP's ongoing repair efforts.
"The idea for the app really came from my wife, Kristen," Linter said in an e-mail message to the blog Reflections of a Newsosaur. "She saw a picture of the oil spill overlaid on New York in the paper, and commented to me that this still didn't put things into perspective for her. That night, I created a quick image of the spill centered on our hometown. Both of us were shocked at the result, and Kristen suggested I show the picture to more people."

Seasoned government managers are hopeful about an innovation effort backed by the president, but they see pitfalls and the possibility of duplication.
Early self-reporting suggests that 81 percent of agencies are on track to electronically manage email records.
The head of the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental says his goal is to drive culture change in the DOD's acquisition and innovation processes rather than make DIUx the acquisition arm of the DOD.
A plan to reorganize DHS' cybersecurity directorate that stalled in Congress last year is still on the agency's agenda.
Without confirmed subcabinet officials, President Donald Trump's executive order calling for a federal government reorganization will be managed by agency chiefs and career executives.
As promised, a budget blueprint from the Trump administration prioritizes military and homeland security spending, and pays for increases with dramatic cuts to civilian agencies.

No one says, "Hey, Jean, list that sequence of events again! That was the best!" But pretty much everyone has said something like, "Oh, I can't do that story justice. Jean, can you tell it?" The experience is the story.
You intuitively get meaning and importance when a story is told in a way that delights, excites, or moves you. This is the world of the aesthetic, the world of feeling things fully. Beauty, interpretation, emotion. All of this comes when a story is told in a way that understands that humans are listening.
Often though, as storytellers, we can get so focused on the story we are telling that we forget the people we are we are telling it to. This happens in movies when the villain explains the entirety of his diabolical plan just because we are already 80 minutes into the film and have run out of time to play it out properly. It happens when a commercial focuses so tightly on the features and benefits that it forgets why the product matters to a person's life in the first place. And it plays out in animation when characters move around but lose all touch with who's watching, what it means to them, and ultimately why they should care as a viewer.
This video doesn't do that. It could have, though. It could've been summed up pretty easily:
- A girl had feelings for a boy.
- She moved away, and communication ceased.
- Later, they re-established communication.
It is, of course, absurd to tell it in such a reductionist way. But why?
Because a dry list of points is only as good as the story you add to the gaps. All of the value must be made in your mind. A story needs to be presented in a way that leads you to it, not letting you get lost in the gaps.
On the flip side, the creators of this video didn't overly fill in the gaps. They played the middle, painting partial pictures that elicit just the kind of meaning that's supposed to be filled in. Beautifully nostalgic images of a love lost and regained, of innocence and violence, of cultural identity and connection to roots.
The creators of this video understood the value of human experience. As layers and motion are painting in the backgrounds, the video is filling in the details of the story like we do in our minds. Something that is simultaneously whole and incomplete, fluid and concrete.
They knew that the value of this story wasn't in the strict understanding of exactly what happened, but instead in the experience of what it meant to the woman speaking, how it felt. She didn't simply recount happenings of her youth. She lavished us with the experience of "kissing my entire childhood, the ancestors that are buried there, my entire life that could have been." That is what we, as the audience, connect with. It's the lens through which we see the facts—and then feel the feels.
We all understand things through experiencing meaning, not just comprehending events. So consider how you say the things you say; humans are listening.
Written by Daniel Armstrong, Director of Design

I'm definitely not a shoe snob but I don't want a closet full of PVC shoes either. A co-worker of mine asked me yesterday how many shoes I owned. I told her around 75 pairs (excluding boots and flats) and that I rotate them out so it's never more then 70 to 75 pairs at one time. She told me that she owned 200 pairs of shoes. Now I've seen the type of shoes she wears and the majority of them are PVC brands like Anne Michelle, Delicious, Wild Diva, etc.
Though, there is nothing wrong with these brands because they are very affordable (most under $25), they do keep up with the latest trends and some are decent dupes of designer offerings. My personal issue with these brands most of the time is fabrication. That makes me reluctant to have a lot of these kind of shoes in my closet.
A few pair here and there is fine, no biggie. I have like five pairs from F21 and they buy from shoe manufacturers like Qupid, Wild Diva, Anne Michelle, and Michael Antonio and just stick their logo on it.
However, at some point I need to be able to resell my shoes. I have better luck if it's a mid-priced brand (Nine West, Guess, Aldo) that most women are familiar with in terms of quality, sizing, etc. Plus, I have been able to find mid-priced shoes on sale or clearance at the same or a few dollars over the price of the PVC ones at stores like Ross for Less, the clearance rack at T.J. Maxx, Amazon, and some department stores as well. I'm all about saving money but if I can pick up a pair of Guess shoes for $28 dollars vs. a PVC shoe at $24, I mean that's a no-brainer, go for the better made shoes for the extra $4 bucks. If you're a good bargain shopper you can find these deals and you won't have to resort to stocking your entire shoe rack with non-leather shoes. Again, there is nothing wrong with buying PVC shoes, some of the manufacturers like Qupid are making better looking shoes and using better materials. I just think it's a good idea to have a nice mix and selection of brands in different price points.

A dispute between the New York Racing Association and the Southern Buying Cooperative over 2001 simulcast contracts has halted Aqueduct's signal from being shown in six states.
The 11-member cooperative tracks include Lone Star Park near Dallas, Texas; Sam Houston Race Park in Houston, Texas; Retama Park in San Antonio, Texas; Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark.; Emerald Downs in Auburn, Wash.; Prairie Meadows in Altoona, Iowa; Tampa Bay Downs in Oldsmar, Fla.; and Albuquerque and Ruidoso Downs and Sunray and Sunland Park in New Mexico.
Bob Bork, spokesperson for the Southern Racing Cooperative said the SRC is eager to resolve the contract dispute and return to full card simulcasting."We are eager to work through the present stand still and continue those talks in order to reach an agreement which is fair to all. However, in the mean time, we are unable to take their signal."
Bill Nader, vice president of racing for NYRA, said the contract dispute should not be viewed as price gouging by NYRA, but an attempt to provide quality services at reasonable prices. "Many tracks in the cooperative received little or no price adjustments, and the adjustments that were made were based on a meet-by-meet basis. Tampa Bay Downs and Prairie Meadows saw no increase at all. Lone Star Park did not see an increase for the 2001 season, but a slight adjustment for the 2002 Saratoga meet."
Nader said NYRA is committed to resolving the dispute as quickly as possible, but they must remain responsible to their horsemen. "We put out a good product at a very good price for the type and for the number of days of racing."Even if the dispute is settled immediately, the three Texas tracks could not return the Aqueduct signal for at least five days from the date of the agreement due to Texas law. The other tracks could resume showing NYRA racing as soon as the contracts were signed.

Big win for Somerset 2nd XI
Somerset declared on their overnight total of 450 for seven ahead of the start of the final day of the 2nd XI friendly match against Nottinghamshire, which was a lead of 246 runs.
The start of play was delayed this morning due to rain but when the players finally took to the field at 11:40am it was Somerset again that were on top. Ollie Sale and Bobby Gamble both struck early to remove the Nottinghamshire openers with just 29 runs on the board in the visitors second innings. By the time that lunch was taken Notts had moved on to 46 for two.
Wickets continued to fall after lunch as Jack Leach followed up his century yesterday with a five wicket haul to see Somerset over the line by an innings and 82 runs. Leach finished with figures of five for 59 from 22.1 overs whilst Tim Rouse claimed three for 30 from 14 overs.
Somerset Second XI Coach Steve Snell said: "It's always good to win a game like this and I think that the players will have taken a lot from playing here at The County Ground. It's been a very enjoyable three days and there have been some stand out performances, particularly from Jack Leach. This performance will give him huge confidence and rightly so. It's a testament to both his ability and his character.
"It was a really good team performance all round. The lads bowled really well in the first innings, especially Bobby Gamble and Ollie Sale. A lot of the players have made contributions over the last three days and Ben Green also deserves a mention for his role in the 200 run partnership with Jack."
The match scorecard can be seen by clicking here.
The Somerset squad for the game was: Adam Hose, Eddie Byrom, Tom Cooper, Alex Barrow, James Regan, Tim Rouse, Sam Underdown, Ben Green, Adam Dibble, Ollie Sale, Bobby Gamble, Jack Leach and Liam Redrup.
Somerset resumed on 194 for three on day two of their three-day friendly match against Nottinghamshire.
Tom Cooper (67*) and James Regan (22*) were the unbeaten batsmen.
Cooper went on to make 71 and Regan 39 before Ben Green (44*) and Jack Leach (31*) ensured that Somerset reached 307 for seven at lunch, a lead of 103 runs.
After the interval both Green and Leach passed the 50 mark as the home side moved on to 364 for seven before rain brought a halt to the proceedings.
The players returned after tea and Somerset reached 450 for seven at the close, a lead of 246 runs with Leach moving on to 123* and Green 89*.
Somerset Second XI got their three-day friendly match against their Nottinghamshire counterparts underway at the County Ground today (Monday).
The visitors won the toss and elected to bat but by lunch they were struggling on 76 for seven.
Three wickets for both Bobby Gamble and Ollie Sale put Somerset very much on top whilst Ben Green claimed the other wicket to fall in the opening session. Alex Barrow was the hero of the morning as he claimed a remarkable six catches.
After lunch the visitors dealt better with the Somerset bowling as Webster and Paul Franks put on nearly 70 for the eighth wicket before the former became Sale's fourth victim of the innings. Tim Rouse claimed a wicket and then Franks was eventually dismissed for 93 by Liam Redrup as Nottinghamshire were dismissed for 204.
Sale was the pick of the home bowlers as he claimed four for 29 from 10 overs whilst Gamble ended with figures of three for 43 from 14 overs.
When the hosts replied Adam Hose with 41 and Eddie Byrom added 61 for the opening partnership before Byrom was out for 21.
Alex Barrow and Tom Cooper put on 73 for the third wicket before Barrow was demised for 20.
By the close of play Somerset had moved onto 193 without further loss off 44 overs with Cooper unbeaten on 67 and James Regan not out 22.
