Through its Exhibitions Service, the Vatican Library allows its collections of manuscripts, printed books, prints, coins and medals to be used for cultural
projects which intend to promote the diffusion of knowledge. Ecclesiastical property belongs specifically to the Christian community; however, due to the universal nature of the Christian message, one can say that it
also belongs to all of humanity. To promote wider knowledge of its inestimable treasures of wisdom and beauty, the Library grants a limited number of loans from its collections to the world's major museums
for temporary exhibition. Such loans are granted only for projects which have a scientific purpose, or for major exhibitions of a cultural or religious nature. Human culture, or rather human cultures constitute an
open field for evangelization, and form a context in which the Library gladly makes its voice heard to the men and women of our time.
The Prefect of the Library, supported by the relevant Committee and in accordance with the Regulations which have been approved by the Secretariat of State, makes a careful choice among the many requests for loans which are received every year. He also takes into account the fact that the main tasks of the Library are to preserve and transmit to posterity its precious collections, and to make them available in the Library itself for scholars from around the world to consult and study.
Here are some of the more important exhibitions in which the Vatican Library has participated in 2010.
The exhibition Luxury and Daily Life in Byzantium was held in Bonn from 26 Febr. to 12 June 2010. It presented a summary of the "Byzantine Millenium", from the foundation of Constantinople by Constantine the Great in 324 down to the Ottoman conquest in 1453, paying special attention to the golden era of the reign of Justinian (527-565) and to the period preceding the Sack of Constantinople by the crusaders in 1204. The exhibition included great works of art illustrating the history, the archeology and the art of the Byzantine Empire. The Vatican Library participated with two volumes (Vat.gr.676; Barb.gr.372) and a facsimile (Vat.gr.1613).
The Library also participated in the exhibition "Illumination: Hebrew Treasures from the Vatican and Major British Collections", organized on occasion of the reopening of the Jewish Museum in London. The event, which took place in an atmosphere of peace, respect and openness, has been a valuable opportunity do deepen and intensify dialogue and has laid solid foundations for future collaboration. Three important Hebrew manuscripts were loaned for this exhibition (Ross. 498; Neofiti 1; Vat. ebr. 66), emphasizing how the production of Hebrew texts from the twelfth to the fifteenth century was the result of harmonious coexistence and of a mutual exchange which shaped the intellectual future of Europe.
Another important exhibition is "The Swabians and Italy" (Mannheim, 18 Sept. 2010 - 20 Febr. 2011), organized in collaboration with the Archeological Museum of Palermo. It concerns three regions which were central to Swabian power, namely the area of Germany at the confluence of Rhine and Neckar; Sicily; and Lombardy. Works of art from these three regions have been displayed in an exhibition surface of 2,000 square meters to evoke the art and the culture of the Swabian period in its medieval beginnings, and the connections between Italy and Germany.
The Exhibitions Service deals with all the steps involved in the process of planning, organizing and administering loans of works belonging to the Vatican Library. The Regulations which are currently in force require the borrower to send a request, including a description of the exhibition project, to the Secretariat of State (His Eminence Card. Pietro Parolin) and to the Prefect of the Library (Msgr. Cesare Pasini) at least 12 months before the inauguration of the exhibit. The total length of the loan may not exceed 4 months. The Exhibitions Committee, presided by the Prefect and made up of the heads of the relevant offices, meets four times each year to evaluate and approve the received requests. It gives special consideration to projects whose themes coincide with the interests of the Library, which has a long tradition of promoting cultural events of great artistic or religious value.
The Library participates in no more than 12 projects each year, and only loans a very limited number of objects for each one. In addition, a period of three years must pass before a given object may be loaned again. In addition to these criteria, the Library always reserves the right to refuse a request due to the exceptional age, rarity, value or frailty of an object, or to preserve it from the risks and strains involved in repeated transportation and exposition. The Regulations for Exhibition Loans clearly explain the terms and requirements under which the Vatican Library loans its objects; it should be read carefully by the borrower, signed, dated and stamped by the person responsible for the institution which is to host the exhibition, and returned to the Vatican Library. The management of loans requires a series of procedures and operations which follow a precise timeline; and all the required documents must be prepared in advance (description of the object, photographs, loan contract, insurance policy). All data regarding the subjects and the initiatives for the year are entered into a computer program which allows the Library to constantly monitor the activities of the Exhibitions Service, together with the progress and the deadlines of the procedures. These data are interfaced with those which concern each single work on loan, so that all the elements which are needed to reconstruct the history of the works, of their restorations and of their movements are always available.
The Exhibitions Service works in close collaboration with the curators of each exhibition, with the goal of coordinating the many operative aspects and the preparation of the necessary procedures and documents.
Special attention is paid to security measures and to the environmental conditions required to guarantee the safeguard of the objects on loan. The organizers of the exhibition must take out a
special insurance policy known as "nail to nail", with the Library as beneficiary, against "all risks", and is responsible for any damage done to the works during their absence from the Library.
The Exhibitions Service also aims to ensure that all necessary precautions are taken at both ends during the operations of delivery, packing, unpacking, inspection and setup of the exhibit, in order to maintain the state of conservation of the works even as they pass through "critical" environments, different from their normal conservation environment, during transport and during the time they spend in the host institution. In order to guarantee the application of all the conditions stipulated in the Regulations for Exhibition Loans, loaned works are always accompanied by a courier who is a staff member of the Library and who assists in unpacking, verifies the state of conservation of the works on loan and ensures that they are displayed in an appropriate manner in the host institution.

Nike Sportswear Tech Fleece Collection – Fall/Holiday 2013
A complete revision of the usual cotton fleece, the new Nike Tech Fleece Collection features a tri-layer design, a creative approach that enhances the wearer's natural motion while providing warmth and comfort. With the addition of foam lining placed in between cotton layers, the hi-tech fabric retains its breathability and moisture regulation. However, Nike designers also found several curious attributes to the new construction. The Tech Fleece not only offers better insulation and protection for the wearer, but it's lighter in weight, too, since it needs less cotton. Articulated for an ergonomic fit, the collection comes in several silhouettes, including Crewneck Sweatshirt, Hoodie, AW77 Jacket, N98 Jacket, Cape, and Nike's signature Windrunner design. The Nike Tech Fleece Collection for Fall/Holiday 2013 will be in select Nike Sportswear retail locations starting next month.

Station 25 - Capitol Hill
Updated: May 10, 2013
About the Station
Station 25 is the lead station for Battalion II, which serves the central part of the city. As a battalion station it houses an engine company (E25), a ladder unit (L10), an aid unit (A25) and a battalion chief unit. It also houses several reserve units, including a reserve ladder unit and battalion chief unit. Finally, Station 25 houses the department's Mobile Ventilation Unit, which is utilized to support large-scale decontamination/ventilation efforts.
The station is relatively new and in fair condition. It nonetheless has some shortcomings, including its failure to meet current standards for seismic safety.
About the Project
As a seismic and safety upgrade station, Station 25 requires some additional seismic bracing to meet current codes.
The other main work to be done at Station 25 involves a space reconfiguration so that apparatus bay support functions — including areas for decontamination, crew preparation and vehicle maintenance — can be accommodated immediately adjacent to the actual bays themselves. The existing crew area on the main floor will remain as is; some minor remodeling in the basement and on the second floor will reconfigure the living quarters and the battalion office.
Finally, the plan moves Station 25's existing battalion chief unit and reserve battalion chief unit to Station 2. Despite this move, Station 25 would remain the lead station for Battalion II. The transfer is planned because Station 2 offers ample room for multiple apparatus bays and would permit Station 25 the capacity to house another medic unit if future demand warrants the service expansion.
Emergency services are expected to remain on site while the station is being upgraded.

Seems appropriate that the Bowl Championship Series will conclude with second guessing, gnashing of teeth and lamentation of the highest order. There is going to be plenty of chatter heading into this week's final games of the 2013 college football season prior to the bowl matchups.
For the final week, the BCS will hold sway. Next year, college football switches to the four-team playoff and arguments of a different order will fill the landscape.
But this week, everyone can take one last shot at the BCS. And the biggest argument fans will hear will be should a one-loss SEC champion jump over an undefeated Ohio State team. As it has been since the inception of the BCS, the polls and computers will have the last say.
Of course, it might not come down to that. If Ohio State loses to Michigan State in the Big Ten Championship, then the Auburn-Missouri SEC Championship contest becomes a de facto semifinal game.
The only thing that looks pretty solid is Florida State, which has ravaged every opponent this season, beating an improved but undermanned Duke squad in the ACC Championship.
Here's something else to consider, it's possible - not probable with Florida State as such a big favorite over Duke - that the SEC could have both teams in the BCS title game. If Florida State and Ohio State both lose, the winner of the SEC Championship would move up to the top spot and Alabama likely into the second spot.
With all that in mind, here's this week's NOLA.com | Times-Picayune rankings:
1. Florida State (12-0)
The Seminoles are really the only sure thing in the rankings this week. Florida State has beaten its 12 opponents by an average of 42.7 points per game. The closest margin of victory was 48-34 over Boston College. Yeah, we know the schedule is a bit suspect. Nevertheless, this is clearly the best team in the nation right now.
2. Ohio State (12-0)
It's tough to complain about perfection, especially with a team in a BCS conference. But we had a tough time putting Ohio State over Auburn as the second ranked team. The Buckeyes struggled with a mediocre Michigan team Saturday. Furthermore, Ohio State has beaten only one currently ranked team in the Associated Press poll, Wisconsin. They may not only need to beat Michigan State, No. 1 in the nation in total defense, but do it with style to hold on to the second spot.
3. Auburn (11-1)
Another reason we couldn't put Auburn ahead of Ohio State is that the Tigers' season rests on what amounts to two fluke touchdowns. Their was also the close game at Texas A&M that could have gone either way. Finally, Auburn is 75th in the nation in total defense. Don't be at all surprised if Missouri knocks off the Tigers in the title game.
4. Alabama (11-1)
There hasn't been so much national rejoicing over a loss since the Wicked Witch of East had the house fall on her in the Wizard of Oz. And what a way to lose, on a 100-yard return of a missed field goal for a touchdown on the final play. Nick Saban may want to add defending that to The Process for next season.
5. Missouri (11-1)
Not sure that the upstart Tigers are getting their due. If they beat Auburn, but Ohio State wins, it'll be tough for them to jump the Buckeyes into the BCS title game. But their body of work - yeah, we know, Auburn beat top-ranked Alabama - is better than the Tigers, to be honest. They've persevered with an injured quarterback and play decent defense, 52nd in the nation.
6. Oklahoma State (10-1)
No one-loss team has been hurt more by its transgression than the Cowboys. Falling to a lousy West Virginia team is the reason why Okie State is not in the BCS title conversation. Had they won that game and were undefeated, we think they'd be No. 2 ahead of Ohio State right now. Looks like they'll have to settle for the Fiesta Bowl after this weeks' Bedlam game with Oklahoma.
7. Stanford (9-2)
It certainly wasn't to the level of Auburn beating Alabama but a lot of college football fans relish Notre Dame losing. The Cardinal knocked off the Irish, 27-20, on Saturday, administering Notre Dame's fourth loss of the season. Stanford faces a tough challenge against Arizona State this week in the PAC-12 Championship. But it's a good matchup with the Cardinal's tough defense against the Sun Devil's high-octane offense.
8. South Carolina (10-2)
No one smirks more when they beat a rival than the Ball Coach. The Chickens forced six turnovers against Clemson in their 31-17 victory and beat the Tigers for the fifth straight year. Speaking of inexplicable losses, how did South Carolina loss to Tennessee, Steve Spurrier? They'll be 'What ifing' that one in Columbia all off-season.
9. Baylor (10-1)
Wheels look to be coming off the Baylor wagon headed down the stretch. The Bears just held off a bad TCU team, 41-38. That comes a week after Oklahoma State popped them, 49-17. Baylor's BCS chances aren't completely dead but they must beat Texas this week, otherwise, it looks like LSU in the Cotton Bowl.
10. Michigan State (11-1)
There's not a better defense in the land, statistically, than the Spartans. They hold opponents to 237.7 yards per game. But they'll face, by far, the best offense they've played this season against Ohio State. It's the key matchup in the biggest of games this week.
11. Arizona State (10-2)
The Sun Devil's PAC-12 game with Stanford is a rematch of their Sept. 21 contest won by the Cardinal, 42-28. Stanford led 39-7 after three quarters before Arizona State made it interesting in the fourth. Arizona State, winner of seven straight, is much better than then.
12. Clemson (10-2)
The Tigers may want to get South Carolina off the schedule after losing for the fifth straight time to the Cocks. You wonder how such a good offensive team like Clemson could commit six turnovers in one game. But it appears Clemson will be able to console itself on South Beach later this month. They're likely headed for the Orange Bowl.
13. Oregon (10-2)
The Ducks were lucky to beat rival Oregon State in the Civil War last Friday as Oregon continues to descend. Just a few weeks ago the college football world was wondering if Oregon would be the team to end the SEC dynasty. Now you wonder if it'll even win its bowl game.
There's no figuring this LSU team. One week, they look great against Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M, the next they get pushed around by a pretty bad Arkansas team and were fortunate to come away with a victory. If the Tigers do draw Baylor in the Cotton Bowl, it'll be a shootout. Wonder which team will show up?
It's clear that the Knights play to their level of competition. There's no other explanation for a team that seems talented enough to almost beat South Carolina but then almost lose to pathetic Temple and South Florida. UCF faces another bad team, SMU, this week. Then it's a good bet they'll end up in a BCS bowl, either the Allstate Sugar Bowl or Fiesta.
Good rebound for the Bruins in putting a hurtin' on rival USC, 35-14. Quarterback Brett Hundley finally had an as-advertised performance, rushing and passing for 288 yards and two touchdowns. The loss may have hurt Coach O's shot at moving from interim to head coach at USC. Was that Pat Haden wearing powder blue and gold Saturday?
17. Louisville (10-1)
How many teams can say they're disappointed by an 11-1 finish? That might be Louisville this week, which closes the season Thursday night at Cincinnati. After winning the Sugar Bowl last January, hopes were high. But a single loss - to Central Florida - has soured their season and how voters perceive the Cardinals. Yeah, the ACC is looking very good right now.
18. Northern Illinois (12-0)
They'll probably be a lot of rooting for Bowling Green on Friday night in Tempe, Ariz. Northern Illinois meets Bowling Green in the MAC Championship with a likely BCS berth on the line for the Huskies. With Fresno State losing last week, it looks like the Fiesta Bowl will be stuck with Northern Illinois.
19. Texas A&M (8-4)
It's been a tough two weeks for the Aggies, who've gone on the road and lost two SEC games, at LSU and Missouri. Whether it's injury or cold weather, Johnny Manziel doesn't look like swashbuckling quarterback of earlier this season or last year. Aggies will have to settle for a second tier bowl and probably will bid adieu to Johnny Football there.
20. Oklahoma (9-2)
Here's a little role reversal. Instead of Oklahoma State looking to spoil the Sooners BCS bowl hopes, it's the other way around. If Oklahoma can beat the Cowboys, it may knock them out of the Fiesta Bowl. But that's hardly consolation for Sooners fans who expect way more than being spoilers.
21. Duke (10-2)
Gus Malzahn will be the popular Coach of the Year candidate for turning around Auburn in one season. But what David Cutliffe has done with the Sad Sack football program at Duke is remarkable. The Blue Devils have won eight straight after starting 2-2. Doesn't appear they can play with Florida State in the ACC Championship but you didn't think they'd be there at the start of the season, did you?
22. Texas (8-3)
We'll see this week if Nick Saban and Alabama losing to Auburn will quiet the Saban-to-Texas talk. Mack Brown would certainly help his case to get another season with a victory against Baylor this week. A victory against the Bears may put the Horns in the Cotton Bowl against LSU.
23. Wisconsin (9-3)
How does a team that was rolling along with six straight victories lose to the worst Penn State team in years? And at home, mind you. The Badgers were one of the top at-large names to fill a BCS bowl slot. That loss sends them down a notch to probably one of the Florida bowls other than the Orange.
24. Fresno State (10-1)
The Bulldogs drop from BCS bowl to probably the Las Vegas Bowl or something like that after dropping a 62-52 decision to San Jose State. What a fall. Fresno quarterback Derek Carr, who threw for 519 yards and six touchdowns, took the blame. Sorry Derek. This one is on the Bulldogs' sorry defense, which gave up 736 yards.
25. Georgia (8-4)
We didn't really want to put the Bulldogs here after they had to rally to beat their mediocre rivals from Georgia Tech on Saturday. But there really isn't much after them to put in the rankings. A very disappointing season for UGA.**************

There's a lot of buzz about the benefits of bacteria in the media, particularly for children, but this can be a confusing issue for many people. Why would you ever want to give your child bacteria to improve their health? Aren't bacteria bad for us, causing infections and stomach upsets?
The simple answer is No! Not all bacteria are bad; in fact mounting evidence suggests that starting out with a healthy balance of friendly flora in their intestines could help to improve your child's health and actually reduce the risk of infections and other health conditions as they grow up. Even better, having plenty of good gut flora (bacteria) is being linked to good long-term health.
So how do these microscopic microflora help to improve your child's health?
It may seem weird, but the average human being is a home to literally trillions of bacteria who live all over our bodies, but most plentifully in the moist, warm areas in our intestines. Symbiotic, or 'friendly' bacteria are those that live in harmony with our bodies – we provide them with a home and food to eat, and they in turn offer us a host of health benefits.
Though we are typically born without any bacteria in residence, they begin to colonise in our bodies within a few days of birth. The first bacterial settlers are passed on to babies by their mother as they pass down the birth canal during a normal vaginal delivery.
These tiny passengers have been shown to have many positive effects in the body ; they work with the immune system helping to modulate immune responses, reducing the risk of allergies and protecting against infections and viruses. They help to improve digestive function, alleviating diarrhoea or constipation and helping to improve metabolism and nutrient absorption.
Studies have indicated that numerous health benefits may be seen in children who were given probiotic supplements, including a reduction in childhood illnesses and allergic symptoms such as eczema.
If children take on beneficial bacteria during birth, why are probiotic supplements necessary?
In an ideal world, we wouldn't need to give supplements, but many factors can affect the integrity of a child's gut flora. If the mother's intestinal flora is compromised in any way, then the bacteria passed on to a baby may be unbalanced from the start. Vaginal infections during pregnancy, antibiotics, poor diet and even stress can all impact the delicate populations of probiotic bacteria in our intestines.
Additionally, those babies delivered by Caesarian section will not have the benefit of bacteria from mum, and often suffer from digestive problems or allergies such as eczema as a result. Any antibiotics given to your baby or child will kill off good as well as bad bacteria, and consequently can negatively affect their populations of friendly flora.
Why use supplements?
Isn't it enough just to give your child yoghurt every day?
It's true that fermented foods such as yoghurt, kefir and sauerkraut have formed an important part of the human diet in most cultures for hundreds of years, and it's still a good idea for most people to include these as part of a healthy diet.
But it's often difficult to ascertain the levels of bacteria present in fermented foods; which species are present and how viable they are once consumed. Many of the bacteria found in fermented foods are typically 'transient', meaning that they have beneficial effects as they pass through the digestive system, but can't be guaranteed to become resident in the intestines and restore the balance of flora present.
The bacterial strains used in OptiBac Probiotics products undergo stringent tests that guarantee they will adhere to the intestinal wall, and form new colonies, meaning that they're likely to offer longer-lasting health beneifits.
So where do we find these so-called 'friendly bacteria?' in a supplement form?
The good news is that the folk at OptiBac Probiotics have made it very easy for you to add probiotic bacteria into your child's daily healthcare regime.
They offer a specific product designed to be taken by children from 0-12 years, which comes in a powder neatly packaged in a handy sachet form. Unlike many other similar products, the sachets do not require refrigeration and are easy to add to a little water, milk or yoghurt.
To ensure that really helpful species of bacteria are passed on to their babies, we also recommend that mums-to-be take 'For babies & children' during the final trimester of pregnancy.
Breast-feeding mums can continue to take the product as evidence suggests that the bacteria continues to be passed on to baby via breast milk, or the product can be given directly to infants from birth.
Bifidobacteria infantis has been identified as one of the early settlers in a healthy child's gut, which is why it is included in 'For babies & children' which is gluten-free and suitable for those with lactose intolerance.
So the question is not why would you give your child probiotic bacteria, but given the evidence supporting their use, why wouldn't you?

Luxury travel requires a detail oriented travel agent dedicated to making sure everything is taken care of. Private car drivers, dining reservations, theatre tickets and private excursions can all be a part of your vacation package.
As an e...Learn more about me.
As an experienced travel agent, I go above and beyond to make the most out of every luxury vacation. This includes knowing all there is to know about the market I specialize in. Just last December I attended the renowned International Luxury Travel Market in Cannes, France. This was my third time attending the conference, which features an unparalleled variety of trade shows and luxury vendors. I chose to spend my time learning all there is to know about popular luxury vacation venues.
I truly feel that this experience has given me the opportunity to proudly claim my specialization in the world of luxury journeys, so allow me to plan yours.
I've established relationships with luxury hotels/resorts, cruise lines and destination management companies that will help me provide you with a unique vacation experience. The best part of working with customers is having the opportunity to work with families and specifically multigenerational families. Becoming a concierge to the family allows the group to be able to fully enjoy their vacation knowing that every travel need will be taken care of.
Budgeting, working within a certain set of dates and keeping in mind everyone's schedules is all a part of the challenge that I love of customized travel. I pride myself on the time and detail I put into each complete travel package and look forward to the working with you to design your next getaway today!

Have you ever wondered how different bridge designs manage the forces of tension and compression? In this video segment adapted from Design Squad, a team of students competes in a bridge design and construction challenge without the aid of power tools. The team constructs a king post bridge, a type of truss bridge that gets its strength from ultra-rigid triangles that will not easily bend or twist.

Many are apprehensive to the repercussions of being overweight upon reaching the age of 50. It's actually a valid concern that we should not take lightly. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, being overweight at 50 years old and beyond can make you more at risk to lifestyle diseases compared to those people with the same dilemma but at a much younger age.
It's a sad fact that many people of this age range only decide to lose weight, eat healthier, and exercise upon hearing their medical diagnosis. But it's also great to know that some even hire a one -on-one coach to guide them along the way while taking for consideration their special needs. So how hard is it to lose weight at this age?
Slower metabolism
We have to admit, it's a bit harder at this point to lose weight. But more difficult does not mean impossible. You just need to understand that you need to exert more effort. The most blamed cause of weight gain at this age is slowing metabolism. At this age, muscle mass is also declining due to limited physical activity that usually comes with age. And since muscles are vital to the good and constant flow of metabolism, weight loss can be a bit harder, if done the wrong way.
If you don't have any serious medical concerns which might limit you to do some moderate physical activities, working out is still essential to healthy weight loss, regardless of age. But since we now understand that good flow of metabolism is the key to weight loss, and muscle mass is one of the most important factors to boost it, it's completely understandable that weight training must also be added to your workout. However, weight training must be controlled and monitored based on your initial capacity and will only progress eventually as your strength increases to avoid any injuries. It's not really necessary for you to bulk up in muscles, but weight training is important to increase muscle mass to promote faster metabolism.
Muscle depreciation
Second, cardiovascular or aerobic training must still be done. This is the part that you will increase your energy expenditure to speed up weight loss. Regular jogging or brisk walking is recommended at first, and more intense workouts can be done once your endurance increases. It is recommended that you do it for at least 30 minutes to increase your heart rate to a considerable level.
Changes in daily caloric requirement
Last, and the most important of all is, of course, changing your food intake.
Caloric deficit is necessary. At this point, a good nutrition coach will be of great help, since they can help you interpret
your requirements, and assess and validate your food intake. Nutrition coaches usually suggest that you should be cutting down your daily caloric intake to up to 500 calories. This is necessary for you to burn that extra energy that you had consumed without storing them for no immediate purpose.
Though losing weight might be slower in middle age, once you integrate these healthy habits to your lifestyle, know that you are doing something substantial for your general welfare and eventually, your life.
Yes, it's better late than never. Do it one step at a time and you'll eventually get that much better, healthier version of you.
