The 1870s proved a golden decade for American yachting and, following America's legendary win at Cowes in 1851, the U.S. schooner Sappho had gone to Cowes in 1868 to try and repeat that earlier triumph only to be soundly beaten by Mr. James Ashbury's Cambria. This unexpected success so fired Ashbury's enthusiasm for the sport that he decided to mount the first official challenge for the America's Cup in 1870 using his well-tried Cambria. Undeterred by his subsequent defeat, he then mounted a second challenge the next year and thus set the stage for the numerous challenges which have provided such colourful sport ever since.
After James Ashbury's second defeat in 1871, the next challenge for the fabled trophy came in 1876 when the Royal Canadian Yacht Club 'threw down the gauntlet' to their fellow yachtsmen in New York with their brand new Countess of Dufferin named in honour of the wife of Canada's Governor General. Owned by a syndicate headed by Captain Charles Gifford, the new schooner was designed and built for them by Alexander Cuthbert in his yard at Coburg, Ontario, but immediately attracted criticism when astute observers suggested that her lines had been stolen from a New Jersey boatbuilder. True or not, she was nevertheless a fine craft registered at 138 tons displacement and measuring 107 feet in length overall with a 24 foot beam.
Pitched against her was the New York Yacht Club's Madeleine which, unusually for any America's Cup contest, was already eight years old and a veteran of the two earlier defences in 1870 and 1871. This splendid yacht, designed and built for John S. Dickerson by David Kirby in 1868, was chosen to defend the Cup against the Canadian challenge in 1876 simply because, by then, she had long since achieved her reputation as one of the fastest yachts on the eastern seaboard. Like Columbia before her [in 1871], Madeleine swept to victory in only two races for the Cup and secured her place in yachting's 'Hall of Fame' by so doing. Despite crowning her career with that memorable America's Cup win in 1876 however, she had previously taken part in the 1870 races when Cambria was the challenger; even though she only came in twelfth on that occasion, she then went on to win both the Block Island Race and the Stuyvesant Cup off New York that September. By the time the 1876 challenge came along therefore, she was the obvious choice to defend the Cup despite her age and proved the wisdom of her selection by winning so handsomely.

The need for a better understanding of obstetrical practice was great among both the poor and the wealthy throughout sixteenth-century England, and was particularly urgent for the monarch himself. By 1536, Henry the VIII had enabled ten pregnancies, resulting in only three live births. The Byrth of Mankynde, published in 1540 and dedicated to Katherine Howard, the king's fifth wife, is the oldest manual for midwives printed in the English language. It remained in use both as a guidebook for midwives and as a source for physicians in the practice of obstetrics throughout Europe for the next two hundred years, until the more accurate scientific research of Smellie and Hunter superseded it.
The authorship of this book has been in debate for centuries. Until the early twentieth century, Thomas Reynalde, a physician who practiced in London and Paris, was credited as the author. We now know that the 1540 Byrth was a translation from the Latin edition of De Partu Hominis of Eucharius Rösslin's Rosengarten (full title: "A Rose Garden for Pregnant Women and Midwives.") Reynalde revised and added material for the second and several subsequent editions of the book. By strange coincidence, the publisher and printer of this English edition involved a second Thomas Reynalde, who worked in London at the Sign of the Star in St. Paul's Churchyard, further confusing the authorship issue.
Rösslin (d. 1526), named town physician of Frankfurt in 1506, was charged with supervising that city's midwives. He found them to be largely careless and ignorant. Rösslin assumed this role at a time when the professionalization of midwifery was accelerating rapidly. By 1491, many of Frankfurt's midwives were paid, and had achieved municipal appointments. In many cases, they were also required to pass an exam before they could practice. As such, the Rosengarten found an eager audience, and was published in three separate editions that same year. Later editions appeared in Dutch, Czech, French, Danish, Latin, and here, in English.
Little evidence exists to suggest that Rösslin actually delivered any babies, and the Byrth does not break new ground in the field of obstetrics. Instead, it makes available the teachings of the Roman physician Soranus, popularized by Moschion, author of a 6th century question – and –answer book for Roman midwives. Other influences include Galen, Hippocrates, Aetius, Magnus and others.
While the book contained sound instruction on delivery procedures, there was a good deal of misleading information here too. Among the fallacies perpetuated in the pages within are the suggestion that a baby born in the seventh month was more likely to survive than a baby born in the eighth month, that the vigor of male babies made them easier to deliver than female babies, and that eating fruit would delay labor.
Most captivating are the volume's seventeen copper-engraved plates, among the first in England to be produced by a roller press. The first illustrates the "the Womans Stwle," or birth chair: "meete for her to sit downe, leaning backward, in manner upright." This birth aid had been in use at least since Soranus' time. Sixteen additional plates depict "Byrth Figures" in various positions, in utero. These were originally included in the Rosengarten of 1513. The babies in these images, who resemble children age three or four, and not fetuses, float dreamily in light-bulb-shaped vessels.

will.i.am was saved from breaching royal protocol by using his phone during Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Concert after Cheryl Cole ordered him to put the device away as they walked onstage.
The Black Eyed Peas star has caused controversy during his time in the U.K. for tweeting as he carried the Olympic flame and updating fans online during his stint as a judge on The Voice.
He almost blundered again on Monday night (04Jun12) by logging on to Twitter.com in front of the British monarch, but was saved from embarrassment by pop star Cole.
The close pals both performed on the bill at the star-studded event but the rapper couldn't wait to use his phone as they prepared to join the Queen onstage for Charles, Prince of Wales' closing speech.
Cole tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton, "I actually had to warn him as we walked on to the stage. He had the phone at the ready. I'm not joking, I had to say to him, 'Put that phone away right now before I kill you.'"

Peopleton Duathlon Race Report
Worcester Triathlon Club held their annual Peopleton Duathlon on Sunday 3rd March in dry, calm but very chilly weather. This was the 9th year of this very popular early season race with over 80 competitors signed up. Triathletes from Bristol and Ludlow participated as well as local triathletes. The village community are heavily involved with the race as the residents assist with race marshalling and the club makes a donation – in the past to St Nicholas Church, Peopleton, but this year the donation will go to St Richard's Hospice to assist them with their work in the local community.
The race started at 9am outside the Village Hall with a mass start. The first part of the race is a two lap 4 mile run, followed by a two lap 18 mile bike and finally a 1 lap run to finish in the Village Hall sports field.
The overall male winner was Richard Lomas of BRAT Club in a speedy time of 1.20.32, Daniel Geisler of Worcester Tri Club was 2nd in 1.21.05 and Danny Harris of Worcester Tri Club was 3rd in 1.21.31.
Overall female winner was Allison Bagnell in a time of 1.34.36, 2nd was Jessica Williams in 1.38.36 and 3rd was Nicola Noble of Yogi Cycling in 1.42.50.

When the Weinergate scandal first broke at the end of May 2011, then-Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) claimed that his social media accounts had been "hacked." The left seized on Andrew Breitbart as the likely culprit.
To prove what he knew to be a lie, Weiner then commissioned a private investigation by a law firm to investigate the hacking. The New York Daily News reported in Feb. 2012 that he had spent some $13,000 of campaign funds on a separate Manhattan-based private investigating firm. In a new report, the Daily News suggests that Weiner's campaign had actually spent $45,000–at least–on private investigations.
The funds were never reimbursed to donors by Weiner's congressional campaign committee. Separately, Roll Call reported that Weiner's campaign was fined by the Federal Election Commission for failing to refund general election contributions after Weiner resigned and withdrew from the congressional primary.
Weiner admitted last week that he had continued intimate relationships through social media even after his resignation, and after telling the media that he had "changed" in the run-up to his mayoral campaign.

Giving thanks
A simple thanks one day out of the year is never enough. I have a lot to be thankful for and the people who are close to me know that they are truly appreciated and loved. I am so grateful for everything they give me. Normally for Thanksgiving I invite someone or a few people who have no one else in their lives. Thankfully, this year I was unable to come up with a single person who is not with family and loved ones. Enjoy the harvest festival!

Neo-Paris 2084 is a society built on tragedies. Like our own, it turns a blind eye to suffering in the present while sanitizing its history of any uncomfortable truths. Unlike our own, science has perfected a way for individuals to delete or alter their memories or to take as their own the memories of strangers. Memory has been commodified; turning them into entertainments to be bought and sold or salves to soothe mental anguish.
This technology of memory manipulation is called the Sensation Engine (Sensen), and was invented by a man called Charles Cartier-Wells. A technocrat; he believed he could eradicate human mental suffering through the erasure of painful memories, but instead, the spread of his technology imposed a false consciousness on individuals and society, exacerbating the injustices, inequalities and oppression of 21st century Capitalism.
In defiance, a resistance movement formed, consisting of freedom fighters dubbed Errorists, of which Nilin is a leading figure. The game begins with her captured, in the Bastille, halfway through having her memory, and personality, completely wiped.
A person who fights for freedom may be compelled onwards by the longing for a just and peaceful society. In pursuit of their goal they employ violence. This is not a contradiction. The violence of the ruling class is employed to make violence a permanent state of being. The violence of the revolutionary: to eradicate it from our futures.
As their genre of violence, Dontnod, the development team, chose the brawler. Remember Me is not merely a good brawler, it is one of the best. Here is why it works.
What the brawler has over the FPS is human contact. The fist meets the face. When one human being shoots another they are separated by distance. That distance is also emotional. A gunslinger is stoic. A kung-fu fighter is expressive.
Every kick and punch Nilin lands she accompanies with a grunt or a cry. In those sounds we hear, and experience with her, her struggle. As she connects with her enemies, we connect with her.
The player shares Nilin's exaltation at every victory even more because each fight is novel and challenging. Our triumph is therefore heartfelt. The challenge of Remember Me's fighting has a puzzle like quality on top of the usual test of reactions inherent in a good brawler. Nilin's enemies have a variety of qualities that complement each other in different ways depending on their combination. Some enemies are invisible and untouchable except in bright light, some reflect damage, some are invincible while their allies are alive, others fly, teleport, or climb walls. The robots use projectiles or area of effect damage.
To help her solve the puzzle of a combat situation Nilin has a variety of cyber-based abilities as well as the pressen combo system. Nilin's powers, which work with a cooldown system, include a ranged attack, a robot hack, the ability to become invisible, a mass stun-attack, an area effect bomb and a fury combo that breaks through blocks. The pressen combo system allows a player to customise the qualities of Nilin's attacks: dealing extra damage, regenerating her health, or reducing cooldown time.
All of this is to say, that the combat is deep and challenging. I played Remember Me on hard and barely a fight passed by without me dying several times, learning from my failures and succeeding only when a new and effective strategy had been found. Victory then is as much a cathartic triumph for us as it is for Nilin.
The heart of Memorize has a cathedral like quality and Nilin's journey into it is at least a secular, if not spiritual awakening. The music that plays during her final approach is called 'Rise To The Light'. This evocation of religion is no aesthetic accident. It is a reflection of the religious qualities inherent in Memorize's product: the Sensation Engine.
Let's remind ourselves fully, what Marx said of religion:
Religious distress is at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions.
The sentence I have emboldened is the goal that drives Nilin forward. Memory manipulation, she recognises, is an opiate that dulls pain but hides the nature of reality from everyone. Reluctantly, she uses memory manipulation as a weapon to bring about its destruction.
The memory reconstruction moments are incredibly well crafted, by both the voice actors and the game designers. They are a showcase of how video games, when cleverly designed, can give a story experience superior to the passive media of books and film. These sections immerse us into the emotions and experiences of the characters. We learn how objects, people, and chance can wildly influence a moment in a person's life, therefore changing them as a person. These are not just memories we explore. They are reasons. Reasons the characters live how they live. And reasons why the society exists as it does.
We are left to reflect on our own being. What are we if this or that memory can have such drastic effects on our personality? If one memory, through design or disease, is altered or erased, resulting in a drastic change of everything we have been since? Can we ever be free from the tyranny of memory?
The game, I think, actually answers that question.
Neo-Paris is a society drowned in alienation. There, human existence consists of two things: shopping and Sensen. Those not indulging in these two past-times are either Prisoners or Errorists. Shopping, Sensen and prisons all alienate people: that is, separate people from the community; from the natural world; from each other and from themselves.
Memories are a barricade to hold back time. We fortify this barricade with photos, portraits, and in Neo-Paris, with Sensen technology. The characters in Remember Me are afraid of the future, as are most of us. After all, it holds uncertainty, ageing and death.
The main characters achieve a kind of freedom, only when they forget about their memories, and recognise their loved-ones in the present. A free society does not fear death any more than it fears birth (our society, of course, is as terrified of too many births as it is of too many deaths). A just society can afford to forget, and does so without coercion, and with the slowness of nature. Old memories wither, to be replaced by buds of new life.
Remember Me is a masterpiece. There is more beauty in the last hour alone than almost any other game can achieve through its duration. We are moved by awe-inspiring visuals and soul-raising music, all swirling around a human drama: a glowing crucible of emotion; of suffering and salvation.
Compare Remember Me to Bioshock Infinite. The first is a game, the second, a marketing event. Infinite is a pulp adventure strutting in the emperor's cloak of pseudo-intellectualism. Humans in it are slaves to concepts. Concepts long since exhausted by hundreds of sci-fi paperbacks; and episodes of Star Trek and the Twilight Zone.
Remember Me ends with a single death. Bioshock Infinite, with only a single survivor: and she, a cartoon princess. In Remember Me the science-fiction, like its violence, is a means to and end, not the end itself. Remember Me ends by teaching us something of the common experience; the human condition. It uses fantasy science to explore real world concerns. It warns us of the dangers of bad science and even worse consumerism. It shows also that as long as human society is divided by class there will always be injustice and illusion.

KABUL, Afghanistan — An insurgent attack late Tuesday at the airport in the eastern city of Jalalabad left at least seven militants dead in the latest sign that the Taliban are stepping up assaults as the weather warms.
A statement Wednesday by the governor of Nangarhar province said the attack came shortly before midnight as the governor met with other officials at the airport to discuss security. U.S. troops, who are based at the airport, responded along with Afghan troops, the statement said.
Jalalabad is the capital of Nangarhar, a key province that borders the Taliban-dominated tribal region of neighboring Pakistan and includes the main supply route for U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan has long complained that Pakistan has done little to prevent Taliban insurgents from using the tribal region as a haven, a charge that Pakistan denies. But on Tuesday, the Obama administration released a report that said Pakistan had no "clear path toward defeating" insurgents in the region despite committing tens of thousands of troops to the effort.
The statement from the Nangarhar governor's office said the dead militants hadn't been identified, but the Taliban claimed the attack in a posting on their website.
The Taliban said the firefight with coalition troops lasted 30 minutes. They claimed that nine coalition soldiers had been killed and seven wounded and that three helicopters had been destroyed. Neither the governor's office nor the U.S-led International Security Assistance Force, the formal name for the coalition, reported troop deaths. The Taliban frequently exaggerate the impacts of their attacks.
The ISAF statement described the attack as taking place at a forward operating base in the Behsud district, which includes the airport. It said the assault consisted of rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire and that there were no ISAF casualties. It gave no specific number for Taliban dead.
The provincial police chief, Gen. Ali Shah Paktiawal, confirmed that there were no coalition casualties
In February, insurgents raided a bank branch in Jalalabad where Afghan security forces were picking up their pay, killing at least 40 and wounding dozens of others.

By Ryan Lavner, Golf Channel
Earlier this week, Tiger Woods insisted in an interview with CNN that he still has time to break Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 majors.
Yet even if Woods stays healthy into his 40s, Nick Faldo isn't so sure he'll someday capture major No. 19.
"I think it's slim," Faldo told the BBC on Sunday. "(If) people want a yes or no, I'd lean towards no.
"As you get older the little demons sit on your shoulder, you've seen one too many bad shots at the wrong time, and it starts to eat away at you."
Woods has been stuck on 14 majors since June 2008. Though Woods won three times in 2012, Faldo contends that the world No. 2 is "frustrated right now because he wants to win majors."
This is the second time in the past few months that Faldo, a commentator for CBS Sports, has taken a shot at Woods. In September, he opined that young players are no longer "afraid" of Woods, and that Tiger's weekend woes have reduced him to being just a "normal, very, very good golfer."
As for Woods' majorless drought, Faldo said, according to the report, "A lot of people thought he would just deal with it (Woods' private-life problems) and get back on the golf course, but he seriously mentally scarred himself and it's not going to be as easy as people think.
"He wrecked that wonderful tranquility you get of going to the golf course on a practice day and tipping out a bag of balls and just thinking of golf. … Slowly things have changed in his golf swing – physically, mentally, technically – and it's a harder climb right now. Sure he can come back and do things, but it won't be as dominant like he was."
"Faldo doesn't believe Woods will catch Nicklaus," by Ryan Lavner appears courtesy of Golf Channel.

The Galaxy Note Edge is the first Samsung smartphone on the market to have a curved edge and screen. While the phone remains mostly a Note 4 at heart, this curved edge makes the phone worthy of a double take.
This new 5.6-inch Quad HD+ display includes 160 rows of extra pixels used for the side display. The Galaxy Note Edge is 3.8mm wider and 2.2mm shorter than the Note 4, and it comes with a smaller battery. While the phone does play into the growing "phablet" trend, some reviews say it can be bulky and difficult to hold.
People aren't going to buy the Note Edge because of its size, however. Their focus will be on the sleek looking design. That simple bend in the right-hand side makes the phone look incredibly futuristic, especially when the menu bar sits neatly along the bend.
There is no price set for the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge yet, but expect it to be on the high side.

An energy price war at last? Ovo is first firm to pledge bills below £1,000 as small suppliers throw down gauntlet to the Big Six
- First Utility launches cheapest two-year fixed energy tariff in the market
- 10,000 people sign up for campaign for cheaper energy bills in just one month
- 72 per cent of consumers would switch to a small supplier
Small energy company Ovo threw down the gauntlet to the Big Six firms today as it became the first supplier to offer an average annual bill below £1,000.
Ovo Energy said it was cutting prices for the fifth time since the autumn because the wholesale price of gas has fallen by 9.5 per cent.
Rival small supplier First Utility also added to the competition today, launching the cheapest two-year fixed energy tariff in the market.
Heating costs falling at last? Ovo said it was able to cut energy bills because the wholesale gas price had fallen
Bristol-based Ovo, which has 280,000 customers, said the latest two per cent cut on its 12-month fixed Better and Greener energy plans would mean the typical annual bill for a dual-fuel user is now £998, compared with an industry average of more than £1,200.
Meanwhile a survey released today revealed small suppliers are putting increasing pressure on the Big Six, as disgruntled customers look round for alternatives.
As many as 72 per cent of consumers would now switch to a small supplier – up from 56 per cent just a year ago and 52 per cent in 2012.
The uSwitch poll found 78 per cent of consumers who would consider switching to a small supplier would make the move to get cheaper energy, while 22 per cent would switch for better customer service.
But some people still have their reservations. A total of 31 per cent of consumers would be worried about a small supplier going bust and 23 per cent wouldn't trust a supplier they hadn't heard of.
Founder and managing director of Ovo Stephen Fitzpatrick said his company's prices reflect the actual cost of doing business, meaning it has been able to pass on savings worth more than £100 to customers since September.
He said: 'Fair, transparent pricing will help consumers to trust the energy market again. That means when wholesale prices fall, customers shouldn't see prices being frozen, they should see them falling.
'Lower wholesale costs and recent Government policy changes have meant that the cost of energy is lower now than it was 12 months ago. Bills should be too.'
Big Six supplier SSE recently froze household gas and electricity prices until January 2016, putting rivals under pressure to do the same.
Ovo founder Stephen Fitzpatrick said prices should fall when wholesale costs decline
The move came amid intense lobbying on energy companies over rising bills and soaring profits at a time when household wages are being squeezed.
Suppliers currently face the threat
of being broken up after regulator Ofgem said it planned to refer the
sector for a full-scale competition inquiry.
Ann Robinson, director of consumer policy at uSwitch said: 'The tide has finally turned in this David vs Goliath and the big six's days of market dominance could be numbered. This is great news for competition and even better news for consumers, who are opening their eyes to the lower prices, better value and often superior service.
added: 'But the proof of a pudding is always in the eating, which is
why it's now vitally important for consumers to feel confident enough to
give smaller suppliers a try. The suppliers are doing their bit by
providing competitive deals, but we need an intensive consumer education
campaign from Ofgem to raise awareness of small suppliers as a viable
alternative and help consumers overcome any residual fears. This would
allow many more to benefit from the fact that they do have a choice.'
Thousands of households are already using the power of switching to cut their energy bills, it was revealed this week.
It's perhaps hard to imagine, but even before the price cuts, electricity and gas costs in Britain are among the cheapest in Europe
More than 10,000 people have signed up to a campaign for cheaper energy bills in just one month.
Big Deal, the firm behind it, wants customers to express their interest in switching providers. When enough register, it will approach energy suppliers and ask them to bid for these customers by offering a low-price tariff.
Whichever offers the cheapest deal wins — and those registered to switch will benefit. It could save consumers hundreds of pounds a year.
However, there is no guarantee of a good deal. And not all the major suppliers will want to take part.
But any deal should be an improvement on those already on offer.
Energy firms are likely to offer big discounts if they can gain thousands of new customers at a stroke.
In 2012, a similar move in Australia saw 250,000 people join together and save nearly one-fifth on bills.

Shake up: Ovo has leapt to the top of the energy best buy table, according to uSwitch

Fat Shirley's: A Trailer Park Opera explores the lives of trailer park residents in the aftermath of the death of their beloved landlady Fat Shirley. Not only is Shirley's demise an emotional event, it also leaves the residents uncertain about their fates. Fat Shirley was a last resort for many of the tenants, many of whose lives are characterized by the hardships that often accompany poor decision making.
"…my friend and I knew we would be in hysterics the whole night."
Intermission Magazine, Bristol, UK
June 12, 2014
"Fat Shirley's: A Trailer Park Opera is a hilarious musical comedy and the funniest play to come down the pike in a long time. Set in rural anywhere, Fat Shirley's paints a picture (probably on black velvet) of an unlikely utopia: a trailer park where the tenants love each other."
Southern Muse
"Delighting festival and theatre audiences in the US as well as London, Bath and with sell-out shows in Bristol, Fat Shirley has developed a loyal cult following. Fat Shirley's: A Trailer Park Opera is the Rocky Horror Picture Show of the bluegrass scene, with audience members often turning up in costume and always ready to have fun."
The Bristol Post, Bristol, UK
November 28, 2014
"Fat Shirley's will keep you smiling long after the trailer park residents have said Good night y'all".
U.K. Theatre Web
Bring Fat Shirley's back to the United States this summer!

Chicago Cursillo History
The First Cursillo
Cursillo (pronounced "kur-see-yo") is a Spanish word meaning "short course" - short course in Christianity. The Cursillo started in Spain in the late 1940's and spread throughout the Spanish speaking countries of the world. It came to the United States in 1957 when Spanish Air Cadets, training at Lackland AFB, in Waco, Texas held a Cursillo weekend for a group of Spanish speaking men. It quickly spread throughout the southwest. The first English language Cursillo was held in 1961 in San Angelo, Texas, and that year, the movement spread to a dozen other states, including Illinois.
The first English-speaking Cursillo in the Midwest occurred over the weekend of May 17-20, 1962 at Old St. Patrick's Church in Chicago. That gathering of twenty-seven laymen and three priest candidates had roots going back to the very first three days held in the monastery of San Honorato on the Island of Majorca, Spain in January, 1949.
The First Chicago Cursillo
It was a team of men from Phoenix, Arizona which brought both the Spanish and English Cursillos to Chicago. Many of the men from that first Cursillo formed the team for the second weekend in Chicago. Additional weekends continued to be held in Chicago. The first Chicago Cursillistas formed teams to bring the Cursillo Movement to such locations as Rockford and Joliet IL, Milwaukee WI, Fargo ND, Atlanta GA, and Dubuque IA. In 1964, the first Chicago women's Cursillo was held at Mundelein College.
Over the past fifty (50) years, the Chicago Catholic Cursillo has moved from its beginnings at Old St. Pat's to a variety of retreat centers located throughout the diocese. We continue to sponsor 4 weekends each year, usually a men's and women's each spring and fall. The Cursillo Movement, with its emphasis on personal evangelization ("make a friend, be a friend, bring your friend to Christ") and accountability (group reunion), has made a tremendous impact on the lives of many Catholics and the environments in which they live. We celebrate fifty (50) plus years of Walking with Jesus and pray that God sends forth His Spirit so we may continue to work to renew the face of the earth.

Mickey Rooney Dies at 93
The celebrated child star went on to have a long and tumultuous career.
Film, TV, and stage legend Mickey Rooney has passed away at 93, after having been in poor health for "quite some time," according to TMZ, which broke the story. The LAPD confirmed that Rooney died Sunday at his home in Los Angeles, but his cause of death has not been released. Born Joe Yule Jr. in a Brooklyn boardinghouse on September 23, 1920, he made his stage debut as a toddler in his parents' vaudeville act. Rooney went on to become one of the top box-office draws of the '30s and '40s as all-American teen Andy Hardy in the Hardy Family films, and won a special Academy Award in 1939 for "bringing to the screen the spirit and personification of youth, and ... setting a high standard of ability and achievement."
Rooney's career and personal life were both tumultuous. He was married eight times, first to Ava Gardner in 1942, when he was 21 and she was 19. They divorced a year later. He joined the Army and entertained troops during World War II, but when he came home, his career crumbled, thanks in part to his womanizing and problems with alcohol and drugs. He began taking more roles on TV and reinvented himself as a character actor.
In the late '70s, Rooney began to turn his life around. He quit drinking, became a born-again Christian, and married his eighth wife, Jan Chamberlin. Their marriage would last longer than the other seven combined, but they reportedly separated in recent years. He had a career comeback too with Sugar Babies, his Broadway debut, in 1979. The musical tribute to burlesque won rave reviews and earned Rooney a Tony Award nomination.
Rooney appeared in more than 300 films and TV projects over the course of his career, including classics like National Velvet and Breakfast at Tiffany's, and recent hits such as Night at the Museum and The Muppets. In addition to winning two Golden Globes and an Emmy, Rooney received Oscar nominations for Babes in Arms, The Human Comedy, The Bold and the Brave, and The Black Stallion. In 1983, he was given an honorary Academy Award "in recognition of his 60 years of versatility in a variety of film performances."
According to IMDB, Rooney was still making films in 2014. "I always say, 'Don't retire — inspire,'" Rooney told the Associated Press in a 2008 interview. "There's a lot to be done."

January: Comedian Of The Month #24, Gráinne Maguire
It is both refreshing and comforting to have a comedian who is politically active and outspoken but does not tell their audiences what to think or do. Irish stand up comedian and writer Gráinne Maguire is not an unfamiliar face on programmes like BBC Question Time, in fact, she appeared on the programme in January, discussing the need to lift the ban on same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland.
Maguire may be a comedian with a passion for political debate but she certainly doesn't fit the mould of your stereotypical 'political comedian'. Although there is an array of skilful comics producing bleak satirical programmes shows such as Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe, Gráinne approaches from a different perspective; a pleasingly constructive one. She is yet another coherent voice in the media attempting to make political issues accessible to a wider audience, who doesn't feel the need to make ridiculous requests such as that her followers abstain from voting in general elections.
Gráinne has even ventured into the land of forbidden material for female comics; she has spoken publicly about her menstrual cycle. Heaven forbid! Back in November 2015, Maguire made headlines when she decided to tweet the details of her period to Ireland's prime minister, Enda Kenny, as a means of criticising the criminalisation of abortion in Ireland. She reasoned that if the Government could dictate what a woman does with her own body, she was perfectly justified in providing a little more information as to what being a woman entails.
Gráinne Maguire is brave, bold and tongue-in-cheek. She maturely tackles large social and political issues with humour, proving that comedy is an extremely valuable art form in today's politically turbulent world.

Students brave cold for Center for the Homeless
Nicole Toczauer | Thursday, February 10, 2011
Facing one of the coldest days of the year in only sandals, shorts and T-shirts, men of Siegfried Hall walked to class, stood in front of buildings and collected donations for South Bend's Center for the Homeless.
Sophomore Andrew Ritter, Siegfried Hall president and coordinator for the Day of Man, said this annual event has allowed the men of Siegfried Hall to stand in solidarity with the homeless since 2007.
"By standing with the homeless for a day, even though it's not nearly what they go through the entire year, it creates waves on campus," he said. "When you see a guy walking around in minimal clothing on a day with a negative one [degree] for a low, you notice. We're showing our support for the South Bend community."
This year 200 of Siegfried's 248 residents participated, Ritter said, demonstrating strength and humility.
"It's the toughness of being able to say you can stand in that weather, but for the right reasons," he said. "We stand outside of DeBartolo Hall and North and South Dining Hall with cups that people drop money into."
Freshman Michael Harvey said that, despite the cold, he finds encouragement from other Notre Dame students.
"I've learned how cold negative 15 [degree] wind chill is and that I've noticed a 5 degree increase in temperature since the morning," he said. "Your fingers and toes go numb as you walk from Siegfried to DeBartolo, but people are supportive which makes it a lot better."
Lisa Knox, a representative from the Center for the Homeless, said the organization and its guests appreciate the time these men dedicate to raising money.
"We think these guys are stellar. The fact that they've done this unique fundraising is really humbling," Knox said. "Their impact is great and the money they raise for the shelter is critical, but most importantly, they raise awareness of our organization and its volunteer opportunities."
Siegfried residents also continue to collect money after the Day of Man. E-mails sent to friends and family bring in contributions, Ritter said, and the dorm ends collections around the end of February.
"If people just want to make a check to the Center for the Homeless and send it to our rector [Fr.] John Conley, then we'd be more than happy to take donations any time during February," he said. "But donations to the Center for the Homeless are always more than welcome."
Knox said the Center also welcomes students to volunteer and become involved in the organization.
"Peter Lombardo, our director of community involvement, coordinates outreach on campus. If you want to volunteer, contact him or you can visit us online at cfh.net," she said. "I would encourage anyone to help us or to check their local organizations and see what they can do."

General versus Specific Authority
The terms general and specific authority refer to a concept that applies to all of God's instructions. Whenever anything is authorized in the Bible, it usually contains some general instructions and some specific instructions. These terms simply refer to this distinction. Sometimes God gives very specific instructions, and sometimes He gives general instructions, leaving the details to our best judgment.
Understanding this difference is key to successfully determining authority for all things. It is the final piece to this part of our search. Once it is completed, we will be properly equipped for pouring over the pages of God's will and solving complex questions that would have otherwise remained unanswered.
Examples of General Authority
The best way to illustrate proper use of general authority is to consider some Bible examples. Perhaps the easiest example to consider would be the Lord's delivery of the Great Commission to his apostles:
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen" (Matthew 28:19-20)
Jesus' commands both to "Go" and to "Teach" illustrate this principle of general authority. Both command to do something, but many of the details are left to us. For example, we are to "go", but it does not say how. Therefore, we can walk, ride a camel, fly in a plane, or sail in a boat, and all of these would be authorized. General authority includes authority for anything that falls within the general instruction. Of course, care would need to be taken to not violate another of God's commands. "Teach" also instructs what to do, but there is not specific mention of how to accomplish this. We could teach publicly in the streets, privately in the home, or in groups and classes. All of these are still teaching and, therefore, are authorized by the general instruction to teach. Moreover, no man has the authority bind one of these methods. Binding where God has not bound constitutes "adding to" His Word, which is a serious transgression, condemned by the Bible.
Now let's apply this principle towards a more difficult question, church buildings. They are nowhere mentioned in the Scripture. How do we get authority for church buildings? First, let's examine a scripture about the mission of the church:
"And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." (Ephesians 4:11-12)
From this passage we learn, among other things, that the church is to "equip the saints". This implies teaching, encouraging, and admonishing within the local church. But, how is this accomplished?
"And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the day approaching." (Hebrews 10:25)
So, how is this "equipping of the saints accomplished? Through the "exhorting one another" that is derived from "assembling together". Moreover, this is exactly what we find in the New Testament examples. Saints gathered together to worship God and exhort one another (Acts 2:42-47; 20:7).
From these commands and examples, we have established God's general authority to "equip the saints" and a small part of this is "assembling together." The instruction is general to some extent. He does not say how, where, or the time of day. Therefore, local churches have authority to operate within the boundaries of this general instruction. If they choose to meet in people's houses, in a rented building, or in their own building, it makes no difference. All of these fall within God's generic instructions to "equip" and to "assemble". Therefore, we have general authority to build a church building and assemble within it.
Examples of Specific Authority
Actually the first example that we examined also illustrates specific authority. When the disciples were told to "go and make disciples", the exact method of "making disciples" was not left general, but rather, it was specified. They were to "baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit". Also, they were not allowed to teach anything they wanted. Jesus specified what they were to teach: "to observe all things that I have commanded you". So, for the same instructions, we see that while some things are left general, other things are specified. And, when something is specified, the Bible teaches that it is a sin to deviate from the specific pattern.
Now, let's use the principle of specific authority to help answer another difficult question, instrumental music. The first concept that must be recognized for this question is the distinction between the Old and New Testaments. From that study we learn, that Old Testament commands and examples are not authoritative for us today, since we are under a new and separate law. Understanding this eliminates much of the confusion, yet we must still answer if God cares about using instrumental music today.
After studying the Old and New Testaments, we can observe that God, through David, gave detailed and specific instructions about how to use instruments in Old Testament worship (ordained by King David in I Chronicles 15:16-28, see also I Chronicles 23:1-5 and II Chronicles 23:18). Yet we find no mention whatsoever of instrumental music being used in New Testament worship. In fact, we have only the following specific instructions:
"speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." Ephesians 5:19
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." Colossians 3:16
Both of these passages teach that we are to make music unto the Lord, but what kind? Does the Lord care? Please read the passage again. These verses specify "singing", "speaking", and "making melody in your heart." These are the "instruments" of New Testament worship. No where else will we find mention of any other type of music in the New Testament. Now, if we choose to add instruments to the worship, then we become guilty of "adding to" God's Word, which sin, the Bible strongly speaks against.
Let us be careful to stay true to our course and goal, to do God's will in God's way. This may mean tearing down the transgressing traditions of men, just as Jesus and His prophets taught. Whatever we do let us make sure that is in "the name of the Lord" and we are neither "adding to" or "taking away" from God's Word by teaching doctrines of men. Part of this requires understanding that God issues commands that are both specific and general in nature. Moreover, we must recognize the general and allow for different judgments within the authorized scope, but we must also observe the specific and and be diligent to carefully adhere to God's specific pattern. By carefully observing God's general and specific authority, we will be better equipped to properly understand and apply God's Word.

Kik vs. Snapchat. Which to Choose; Maybe Both?
If you are planning on signing up for an instant messaging platform, you would certainly want to be sure that you get the best that the industry can offer. You know that the mobile instant messaging platforms presently crowded with tons of options as far as messaging apps go. So, you have decided to compare some of them to see which ones are going to be a good choice for you and your instant messaging needs.
With Snapchat and Kik being two of the most popular instant messaging option among mobile users today, you want to face the two off. You want to see which one it is that should be well worth downloading and then using on your mobile device. So, now comes the moment of truth.
Why choose Snapchat
Two-way video chat: If you are the kind that loves being able to see the people that you are chatting to, then this is certainly a huge plus for you. This means that you can get to see the people that you are chatting with, a feature that is absent on Kik.
Cloud-synced: The data that you have amassed on the platform is saved to the cloud. This means that it would be easier for you to access these data across varicose types of devices. This also makes it easier for you to get the data backed up on the regular if you may lose the device.
Temporary texts: This is a feature that allows you to send text messages with an expiration date. If you do not like the idea of having your messages being saved on the recipient's phone until they decide to delete them. This is certainly one very attractive feature of the messaging platform for you. The message will self-destruct after a certain period, so it is not going to be kept on your recipient's phone forever.
Optimized for tablets: The app has a version where it is optimized for those that prefer to use tablets instead of the regular mobile phone. This ensures that the users get to enjoy a better experience than having to use an app that has been designed for a phone on a tablet.
Has a gallery for media files: This means that you will have a library for the files that you have uploaded which makes it easier for you to search for them later. Since all the files are placed in a single location, getting them organized for better access is easily done as well.
Has an option to sign in through Facebook: In this day and age where almost everyone has a Facebook account, it is real convenient to be able to sign up for the messaging platform using your social media account. There are a lot of people who might prefer this sign in option because it is certainly faster and it saves them from having to fill out a registration form.
Send and caption videos: This is probably the number one reasons why Snapchat is very popular these days. People can send videos and then caption them and tweak them to make them funny, perky, and fun. If you are sending photos, you can even doodle on them which certainly make it more fun and interesting to the users.
Why choose Kik
Two-way option: A lot of users d like this feature of the fact where you must need to add a contact and that contact also has to add you back for him or you to start messaging each other. A lot of users find this really good because it makes it easy to prevent strangers from sending any message to you.
Smaller app size: Many people are often wary of having to add a new app to their phone due to the amount of space that it is likely going to take up. With Kik, expect that it is only going to take up such a small amount of space. So, there is certainly no need for you to have to worry that it will slow down the phone once installed.
Live-typing: it is sometimes frustrating when you do not know when someone is likely going to reply to a message that you have sent especially if it is an urgent one. With Kik, you will know if someone you are talking to is typing a response. So, you would know when to expect a message from them.
Available for PC: While a lot of people that use these messaging apps opt to use them due to how easy they are for those on the go messaging needs, there are also those that would also like to be able to access it when they are sat down in from of their PCs. Thankfully, for Kik, it can be downloaded on the PC too.
Notifications can be switched off: if you think that there is a specific time of the day that you might want to concentrate on doing something and would prefer not to be disturbed by a constant barrage of notifications from your Kik account about messages and other reminders, you have the choices to get them switched off. So, you can be sure that you will not be disturbed at this specific time that you have set.
Built-in browser: Ever annoyed with having to get out of your instant messaging app to access the browser when there is something that you need to search? Not anymore. The app has a built-in browser so you can simply type your query in there and expect excellent search results without any need to have to get out of the app.
From all these things that both the applications offer, it is safe to say that they do have their upsides and their downsides. At the end of the day, it is your priority when it comes to instant messaging that will prevail. You will need to consider your preferences as well. Then, choosing the right one should be a breeze.
Of course, you can always choose both! 🙂

Alleviating Poverty through Inclusive Business: Policy Dialogue on Building an Enabling Environment for Inclusive Business through Public Private Collaboration
Under the German G20 Presidency, the Inclusive Business Action Network (IBAN) with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and International Finance Corporation (IFC) through the G20 Global Platform on Inclusive Business (GPIB) are organizing a one day conference, titled, 'Alleviating Poverty through Inclusive Business: Policy Dialogue on Building an Enabling Environment for Inclusive Business through Public Private Collaboration' on May 5th, 2017 in Berlin, Germany.
GPIB and IBAN jointly invite policymakers, business representatives and other enablers from G20 and non-G20 countries to build upon previous GPIB workshops held during the G20 Turkish and Chinese Presidencies in order to continue to advance inclusive business policies. The conference will focus on ongoing peer-to-peer learning and knowledge exchange by establishing new alliances with concrete action plans and agreeing on a follow-up agenda.
The one-day conference is pursuing three main objectives:
- Create alliances between government representatives, businesses and other actors in the ecosystem to discuss the four main policy dimensions (financial resources, capacity, rules and regulation, and information), applying a variety of approaches (sectorial, cross-cutting, and regional).
- Develop recommendations for the future work of the GPIB
- Provide participants with information about the link between the SDGs and inclusive business, as well as the importance of the business environment for inclusive business.
Please note that this is a by-invitation-only event. If you are interested in participating and for further questions, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com .

South Plains producers should not throw in the towel too soon after hail damages or destroys their cotton crops. Several crops offer good yield and profit potential when planted after hailed-out cotton, said a Texas Cooperative Extension agronomist.
"Don't give up too soon. Give your cotton a little time to recover before you judge the stand after a weather loss. If you've still got a stand of at least one and one-half healthy plants per foot of row, it could still make acceptable yields given good growing conditions," said Calvin Trostle.
"If you do have to switch to another crop, be sure how this will affect you farm program participation before you move in with a catch crop."
Trostle was one of eight featured speakers at a recent Caprock Cotton Conference in Floydada. More than 100 producers attended the conference for updates on cotton insects, weevil eradication, national state legislation, alternative crops, crop water use efficiency and market prices.
In most cases, failed cotton acres can be replanted to catch crops such as grain sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers or sesame, the agronomist said.
"First, check the label of any cotton herbicide you've already applied. The label will list any crop rotation restrictions that might affect your replanting options. Cotton herbicides such as Treflan, Prowl, Caparol, Cotoran, Karmex, Diuron and Staple can cause carryover herbicide injury to some crops," Trostle said. "One option in that scenario is to set the planter to break-out and remove the herbicide-treated soil, so the new seed is planted in untreated soil.
"That's especially true if you'll be planting grain sorghum after failed cotton. You'll also want to keep the herbicide-treated soil away from new plants while cultivating the new crop for a while at least. If you applied Dual herbicide, you can plant safened grain sorghum seed and have little risk of plant injury."
The cut-off date for planting medium maturity grain sorghum hybrids falls between June 25 and July 5, while early-maturity hybrids can be planted as late as July 15. Late-planted grain sorghum is more susceptible to insect damage, so insecticide applications may be required, the agronomist said.
"We can plant soybeans as late as July 10 and still expect to make a crop, even though later planting reduces yield potential. Farmers should plant early- to mid-maturity group IV soybeans before June 25, and then switch to an early group IV or late-maturity group III variety for later planting," Trostle said. "Later planting retards stalk growth and can make it hard to harvest the lowest seed pods, but using a higher seeding rate and narrow rows may encourage higher pod-set."
Confectionary or oilseed sunflowers are another option — when contracts are available, he added.
"Our recommended last planting dates for oilseed or confectionary sunflowers are June 5 for producers in Bailey, Castro and Parmer Counties. That goes to July 10 in Briscoe, Cochran, Crosby, Floyd, Hale, Hockley, Lamb, Lubbock, Terry and Yoakum counties. July 15 is the cutoff date for Andrews, Borden, Dawson, Garza, Gaines, Howard, Lynn, Martin, Mitchell and Scurry counties," he said. "Oilseed sunflowers are cheaper to produce than confectionary sunflowers, and a later planting date can reduce the need to treat for head moths."
Drought- and insect-resistant sesame is another option, from Lubbock south to Big Spring. Sesame should be planted on 30-inch rows, from late May to late June, and need 95 growing days before the first frost. It can be grown with existing farm equipment, but no herbicides are labeled for use in sesame.
Dryland sesame can make 500 to 900 pounds per acre, Trostle said, while irrigated ground may produce 1,000 to 1,500 pounds per acre.
Trostle's 2003 Alternative Crop Options After Failed Cotton and Late-Season Crop Planting for the Texas South Plains provides more information on these crops, as well as some summer forages. Two other Extension publications: Making Replant Decisions, Effects of Stand Loss and Skips on Cotton Yields, and Cotton Variety Considerations Under Replant Conditions can help producers evaluate weather-related cotton losses. These publications are available at county Extension offices or on the Internet at: http://lubbock.tamu.edu/cotton.
Producers can get estimated crop production budgets for several alternate crops from their county Extension agent.

'The Challenge' Winners Defend Themselves — The Money Was Not Handed To Us
'The Challenge' came to a dramatic end on Feb. 17, and HollywoodLife.com caught up with the winner — right after that intense reunion.
If one thing is true it's that The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines took emotions to a whole new level. — and the winning team may have gotten the worst treatment of all. After the finale, followed by that insane reunion, we sat down with the winners to dissect it all; and they had a strong message for those who continued to put down their team: no one got them there except themselves; and yes, they want to return.
"I would do another," Cara Maria told us after her big win — and getting torn down during the reunion. "I could [go out on top], but it's like, if people want to spend the whole reunion taking it away from me, then let me try again without people and win without somebody 'handing it to me,' without me being a 'scumbag a–hole loser person.' Let me try to win again now, or let me just try to do as many eliminations as I can. I'm going for an elimination record."
She also wasn't too thrilled with the way she was portrayed, especially on the reunion, which focused mostly on her rocky relationship with Abram. "All they did was show me looking bad! I f–king won!" she said.
Her teammate and cousin Jamie obviously had her back — she did prep him before heading on the show.
"I told him, he can be as in shape as he wants but 'if you're not good at puzzles, we're f–ked,'" she said laughing. "I was like, 'Download trivia and learn stupid sh-t, because that's the kind of stuff that evens the playing field.'" She also told her cousin not to be "butt heart" about getting voted into an elimination round. "I just assumed we were going to go in to everyone," she said.
As for what's next, well the winners are enjoying time at home — and Jamie's planning to invest his winnings. Cara hasn't quite figured out what to do with the money yet but says first, she got lasik. "It was really worth it!" Well, we're hoping she does another challenge — and now we know she won't have any trouble seeing anything.
Were you happy to see Cara win, HollywoodLifers?
