As a combat veteran wounded in one of America 's wars, I offer to speak for those who cannot. Were the mouths of my fallen front-line friends not stopped with dust, they would testify that life revolves around honor. In war, it is understood that you give your word of honor to do your duty - that is - stand and fight instead of running away and deserting your friends. When you keep your word despite desperately desiring to flee the screaming hell all around, you earn honor.
Earning honor under fire changes who you are.
The blast furnace of battle burns away impurities encrusting your soul.
The white-hot forge of combat hammers you into a hardened, purified warrior willing to die rather than break your word to friends - your honor.
Combat is scary but exciting.
You never feel so alive as when being shot at without result
You never feel so triumphant as when shooting back - with result.
You never feel love so pure as that burned into your heart by friends willing to die to keep their word to you. And they do.
The biggest sadness of your life is to see friends falling.
The biggest surprise of your life is to survive the war.
Although still alive on the outside, you are dead inside - shot thru the heart with nonsensical guilt for living while friends died. The biggest lie of your life torments you that you could have done something more, different, to save them. Their faces are the tombstones in your weeping eyes, their souls shine the true camaraderie you search for the rest of your life but never find.
You live in a different world now. You always will.
Your world is about waking up night after night silently screaming, back in battle.
Your world is about your best friend bleeding to death in your arms.
Your world is about shooting so many enemies the gun turns red and jams, letting the enemy grab you.
Your world is about struggling hand-to-hand for one more breath of life.
You never speak of your world.
Those who have seen combat do not talk about it.
Those who talk about it have not seen combat.
You come home but a grim ghost of he who so lightheartedly went off to war.
But home no longer exists. That world shattered like a mirror the first time you were shot at. The splintering glass of everything you knew fell at your feet, revealing what was standing behind it - grinning death - and you are face to face, nose to nose with it! The shock was so great that the boy you were died of fright. He was replaced by a stranger who slipped into your body, a MAN from the Warrior's World. In that savage place, you give your word of honor to dance with death instead of run away from it. This suicidal waltz is known as: "doing your duty."
You did your duty, survived the dance, and returned home. But not all of you came back to the civilian world.
Your heart and mind are still in the Warrior's World, far beyond the Sun. They will always be in the Warrior's World. They will never leave, they are buried there.
In that hallowed home of honor, life is about keeping your word.
People in the civilian world, however, have no idea that life is about keeping your word. They think life is about ballgames, backyards, barbecues, babies and business. The distance between the two worlds is as far as Mars from Earth.
This is why, when you came home, you felt like an outsider, a visitor from another planet.
You are. Friends try to bridge the gaping gap. It is useless. They may as well look up at the sky and try to talk to a Martian as talk to you. Words fall like bricks between you. Serving with Warriors who died proving their word has made prewar friends seem too untested to be trusted - thus they are now mere acquaintances. The hard truth is that earning honor under fire makes you a stranger in your own home town, an alien visitor from a different world, alone in a crowd.
The only time you are not alone is when with another combat veteran.
Only he understands that keeping your word, your honor, whilst standing face to face with death gives meaning and purpose to life.
Only he understands that your terrifying - but thrilling - dance with death has made your old world of backyards, barbecues and ballgames seem deadly dull.
Only he understands that your way of being due to combat damaged emotions is not the unusual, but the usual, and you are OK.
A common consequence of combat is adrenaline addiction. Many combat veterans - including this writer - feel that war was the high point of our lives, and emotionally, life has been downhill ever since. This is because we came home adrenaline junkies. We got that way doing our duty in combat situations such as:
crouching in a foxhole waiting for attacking enemy soldiers to get close enough for you to start shooting; hugging the ground, waiting for the signal to leap up and attack the enemy; sneaking along on a combat patrol out in no man's land, seeking a gunfight; suddenly realizing that you are walking in the middle of a mine field.
Circumstances like these skyrocket your feelings of aliveness far, far above and beyond anything you experienced in civilian life:
never have you felt so terrified - yet so thrilled;
never have you seen sky so blue, grass so green, breathed air so sweet, etc.; because dancing with death makes you feel stratospheric - nay - intergalactic aliveness.
Then you come home, where the addictive, euphoric rush of aliveness/adrenaline hardly ever happens - naturally, that is.
Then what often occurs? "Quick, pass me the motorcycle" (and /or fast car, drag race, speedboat, airplane, parachute, big game hunt, extreme sport, fist fight, gun fight, etc.)
Another reason Warriors may find the rush of adrenaline attractive is because it lets them feel something rather than nothing. The dirty little secret no one talks about is that many combat veterans come home unable to feel their feelings. It works like this.
In battle, it is understood that you give your word of honor to not let your fear stop you from doing your duty. To keep your word, you must numb up/shut down your fear.
But the numb-up/shut-down mechanism does not work like a tight, narrow rifle shot; it works like a broad, spreading shot gun blast. Thus when you numb up your fear, you numb up virtually all your other feelings as well.
The more combat, the more fear you must "not feel." You may become so numbed up/shut down inside that you cannot feel much of anything. You become what is known as "battle-hardened," meaning that you can feel hard feelings like hate and anger, but not soft, tender feelings (which is bad news for loved ones).
The reason that the rush of adrenaline, alcohol, drugs, dangerous life style, etc. is so attractive is because you get to feel something, which is a step up from the awful deadness of feeling nothing.
Although you walk thru life alone, you are not lonely. You have a constant companion from combat - Death.
It stands close behind, a little to the left.
Death whispers in your ear; "Nothing matters outside my touch, and I have not touched you?YET!"
Death never leaves you - it is your best friend, your most trusted advisor, your wisest teacher.
Death teaches you that every day above ground is a fine day.
Death teaches you to feel fortunate on good days, and bad days?well, they do not exist.
Death teaches you that merely seeing one more sunrise is enough to fill your cup of life to the brim - pressed down and running over!
Death teaches you that you can postpone its touch by earning serenity.
Serenity is earned by a lot of prayer and acceptance. Acceptance is taking one step out of denial and accepting/allowing your repressed, painful combat memories to be re-lived/suffered thru/shared with other combat vets - and thus defused.
Each time you accomplish this dreaded act of courage/desperation:
the pain gets less
more tormenting combat demons hiding in the darkness of your gut -- which you can feel but cannot language because they are out of sight down below the level of your awareness are thrown out into the healing sunlight of awareness, thereby disappearing them;
the less bedeviling combat demons, the more serenity earned.
Serenity is, regretfully, rather an indistinct quality, but it manifests as an immense feeling of fulfillment/satisfaction: from having proven your honor under fire; from having demonstrated to be a fact that you did your duty no matter what; and from being grateful to Higher Power/your Creator for sparing you.
It is an iron law of nature that such serenity lengthens life span to the max.
Down thru the dusty centuries it has always been thus. It always will be, for what is seared into a man's soul who stands face to face with death never changes.
This work attempts to describe the world as seen thru the eyes of a combat veteran. It is a world virtually unknown to the public because few veterans can talk about it. This is unfortunate since people who are trying to understand, and make meaningful contact with combat veterans, are kept in the dark.
How do you establish a rapport with a combat veteran? It is very simple. Demonstrate to him out in the open in front of God and everybody that you too have a Code of Honor - that is, you also keep your word - no matter what!
Do it and you will forge a bond between you. Do it not and you will not.
End of story. Case closed.
I offer these poor, inadequate words - bought not taught - in the hope that they may shed some small light on why combat veterans are like they are, and how they can fix it. It is my life desire that this tortured work, despite its many defects, may yet still provide some tiny sliver of understanding which may blossom into tolerance - nay, acceptance - of a Warrior's perhaps unconventional way of being due to combat-damaged emotions from doing his duty under fire.
Dedicated to absent friends in unmarked graves.
Respectfully written and submitted by;
Pete, Purple Heart Medal recipient and Commander of Chief Joseph Chapter 509 of the Military Order of the Purple Heart - Boise , Idaho Charter Member of American Legion Post 39 - Middleton , Idaho Yours in Patriotism. You are invited to help spread the word about the Warrior's Code of Honor

Councils' CCTV cameras cost £515m
Councils spent more than £500 million installing and operating CCTV cameras over the last four years, campaigners say.
Birmingham City and Westminster City councils each spent more than £10 million on surveillance cameras and five local authorities now have more than 1,000 each, Big Brother Watch said.
The £515 million spent between 2007/08 and 2010/11 could have put more than an extra 4,000 police constables on the streets, the campaigners said.
Nick Pickles, the campaign group's director, said: "Britain has an out-of-control surveillance culture that is doing little to improve public safety but has made our cities the most watched in the world.
"Surveillance is an important tool in modern policing but it is not a substitute for policing.
"In too many cities across the country every corner has a camera but only a few ever see a police officer.
"Despite millions of cameras, Britain's crime rate is not significantly lower than comparable countries that do not have such a vast surveillance state.
"There is no credible evidence that more cameras will reduce crime, yet councils have poured enough money into CCTV in just four years that would have put more than four thousand extra police officers on the streets."
The figures were released following responses to requests under the Freedom of Information Act from 428 local authorities.
Across England and Wales, at least £515 million has been spent by councils over four years, with at least 51,655 cameras now being operated.

A big thank you to Giuseppe for a wonderful stay. The apartment was just as described on the website. It is in a quiet location with a small supermarket (with fresh bread and a deli) and a bar/pizzeria on the beach. A restaurant in the village was being refurbished while we were there so will soon be open. The views from the balcony are fantastic - we spent most evenings watching the sun go down and fell asleep to the sound of the waves on the shore. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay, although the addition of larger drinking glasses would be good. We decide not to pay the extra for air-con, but in hindsight it would have been good as the temperatures were very warm at night. The pool area was very pleasant and Giuseppe cleaned the pool every morning. Giuseppe and his family were friendly without being intrusive which is just what you need on holiday!
There are so many places to see in Sardinia, but a car is essential as Bosa, the nearest town, is about a 20 minute drive away. My top tip for navigating is either a sat nav or to use Google Maps offline as the road signs are a little misleading at times! Take the time to explore the island as it is worth it....stunning coastline and beaches, history and of course wonderful weather, food and drink.
We will definitely be visiting Sardinia again!
We have been Giuseppe's guests in his "green apartment" for a couple of weeks, from the 2nd to the 15th of August, and the experience was, simply, amazing. Giuseppe was helpful, friendly and highly professional, there was no issue that could not be solved on-spot and with extreme kindness. The apartment was spacious (we were a family of 4), clean and provided with all comforts. The house is right on the beach, and has private access, plus a new (2015) swimming pool when the sea is a bit rough...Giuseppe also offers kayaks to sail along the Porto Alabe beaches.
We enjoyed our holiday and, thanks to Giuseppe, we are looking forward to come back to Bosa and Porto Alabe in the next future.
Connaissiez vous Porto Alabe ? cet endroit sur la côte ouest est sauvage, magnifique, ressourçant et très calme hors saison. la maison de Giuseppe est idéale pour les familles. Pour n epizza ou boire un verre sans prendre la voiture allez au village. la cuisine se fait à la maison car les marchés de Bosa sont pleins de produits locaux abordables. suivez les conseils de Giuseppe, il connait la mer comme sa poche, sa gentillesse n'a d'égale que la beauté de l'endroit. Allez y mais laissez une place pour moi ! n'oublier pas vos palmes, masques et tubas.
I stayed in the large apartment with my husband and five friends. The apartment was clean, very spacious, and well appointed. The beach was absolutely gorgeous as is the surrounding area. The water was beautifully clear and not too cold to swim in in late April. There are many sites to see within an hour's drive of the house, including the charming cities of Bosa, Alghero, and Tinnura. Giuseppe, the proprietor, was friendly, easy to reach, and happy to offer advice and provide assistance. Highly recommended.
We had a lovely holiday in this spacious well maintained apartment. It worked perfectly for us with the balcony overlooking the sea so we were able to keep an eye on our teenagers on the beach! I would highly recommend this property, it was a perfect base to either have days staying local or to come home to. A car is important for being out and about. We will definitely visit again!
This was a fantastic holiday and we were met by Giuseppe who showed us around this spotless well presented apartment.
Our breath was taken away when the door to the balcony was open and we saw the view of the beach and blue sea beyond.
It is as the description and only a few steps from the apartment to the beach where you could leave your camp all day in total safety.
Giuseppe provided a good service prior to the holiday and sent an excellent description of how to get from the airport to the apartment.
I cannot recommend this location enough to anyone who wants to go to this lovely island and we cannot wait to go back.
Porto Alabe is a small village in the North West coast of Sardinia. 5 km from Bosa and 50 from Alghero. Porto Alabe Just a 5 minute drive along the sea front from Bosa Marina is the sea side resort of Tresnuraghes. Being built on a hillside, sloping down towards the sea, it gives the houses here wonderful sea views. The main attraction here is the wide arc of fine sandy beach which narrows as it stretches along the coast and turns into a mixture of sand and rocks.

Unibox 1.0
eightloops GmbH
OS X 10.8 or later, 64-bit processor
Age Rating: 4+
After trying out Apple's latest, decidedly meh Mail.app, it's hard to look at new email contender Unibox (Mac App Store link) without thinking, "This is what Apple should have done." Its inner workings aren't quite as smooth as its splendid surface, but this smartly crafted client brims with innovative and appealing design ideas.
A breath of fresh air
Unibox can handle any kind of mail protocol you throw at it – as long as that protocol is IMAP. There's no POP support for dinosaurs like me who like to keep mail on the hard drive. But on the plus side, keeping things IMAP-only made setting up Unibox a snap. With my name, email address and password, it completely configured my Gmail account in seconds. Unlike some other programs, it was even kind enough to warn me that downloading all my messages might take a while, and make the program sluggish in the interim, though I didn't notice any performance slowdown.
With a little time and exploration, I fell in love with Unibox's clean, confident interface. The program sorts your mail by the person who sent it to you, displaying those contacts in a single list on the left. That leaves the rest of your screen free to display every message from those contacts. If you want to focus on a particular conversation, click the icon next to any message's subject line; it'll even show you how many messages are in that thread. Two additional views let you switch from seeing a contact's messages to a complete collection of every attachment they've ever sent you, so you don't need to hunt down a given message just to find the file attached to it. I liked how key design elements appear only when and where you might need them. Trash, Archive and Junk buttons materialise to the left of whatever message you're hovering on and, as you move your cursor to the right, Reply, Reply All and Forward buttons appear. It keeps the interface uncluttered, but the overall scheme's still easy to learn and understand. When you compose a new message, the window pops down from the top of the screen, letting you see what you're responding to without cluttering your interface with multiple windows. Again, To:, Cc: and Bcc: fields appear only if you want them to, by clicking on an icon to the left of the Subject field.
A few notes for the next version
For all its wise and worthy interface feats, Unibox still has room for improvement. Searching is, well, kind of a mess. I can't tell for sure, but the program only seems to search for contact names – not key words in a subject or body. And you don't seem to be able to search for attachments by name, even when you're viewing them. Compared to Apple Mail's superior search, it's a downright drag. Also, Unibox's zeal for truncation occasionally goes too far. It'll inexplicably cut off the bottom of longer messages, and make you click a More button to read the rest. Trust me, Unibox: if I've chosen a particular message, I want to read all of it. And alongside a few other sporadic graphical glitches and other quirks, I've noticed that every time I launch Unibox, it sits there showing me a blank screen, and doesn't bother to display my mail until I tell it to refresh. Unibox's bare-bones online help FAQs don't address any of these issues.
Bottom line
Ultimately, I'm more excited about what Unibox could be a few versions from now than what it is today. But especially in light of Apple's tepid, play-it-safe attitude with its own Mail, I have to salute Unibox's big, bold gamble on trying new things. Even with its problems, Unibox is a great app at a fair price. by Nathan Alderman, Macworld

Host a super party: game-day ideas and recipes
Throwing a party that revolves around a television can challenge the most resilient hostess. How to serve food so that plates don't tip off people's knees? Where to seat fans so that they can see the screen—and still carry on a conversation? And what about guests who aren't interested in the game? Don't even ask about how to make it all look good. Well, you can go ahead and invite the neighbors to watch the Super Bowl, Oscar night or the season premiere of your favorite miniseries, because we've got answers for every one of those dilemmas (as well as mouthwatering recipes). Just use our party-planning guide for the easiest (and prettiest) TV party ever, and then get your game face on. We're ready to watch football—or not!
Inspired? Create and share by tagging @hallmarkstores.
No muss, no fuss
Setting up a central food station will help reduce game-time interference, also known as foot traffic, in front of the TV. Arrange snacks and treats in easy-to-clean trays and bowls for a crowd-pleasing buffet table. And for a stain-proof (yet party-worthy!) table covering, try oilcloth. It's available in brilliant colors and fun patterns and is a cinch to wipe clean at the end of the evening.
Tip: Line your serving trays with parchment paper for easy cleanup; toss the paper away at the end of the festivities and you're almost done.
Positively portable
Use inexpensive, old-fashioned fast-food baskets for fewer spills—they hold food better than paper plates and are easy to balance on laps. Stow sodas and beers in ice-filled galvanized buckets for easy kitchen-to-TV hauling (slip a simple circle of felt under the bucket to protect the furniture and floor from drips). And try filling each layer of your forgotten bamboo steamer with goodies; then stack and carry it from room to room.
Party proofed
Serve food on bamboo trays and melamine and forget about broken dishes. A lightweight plastic that's available in a variety of colors, patterns and sizes, melamine is tough enough to survive instant replays performed by pets, children and grown men. And don't be afraid to go bright: combine cheerful greens, sky blues and eye-catching orange for a bold backdrop to the party.
Seating solutions
Make the floor as comfy as the couch by stocking up on oversized floor pillows or simply tossing down the largest pillows you already have around the house. Pillows thrown onto the floor instantly increase the available seating space and create a perfect place for rowdy kids (and parents) to congregate. Score extra points with a few of these easy sports-jersey pillows in team colors.
Game-day menu
Get the home-field advantage with a make-ahead menu that lets you enjoy your guests and the game. These party-perfect, mouthwatering recipes are sure to elicit cheers from your guests (and you).
Buffalo pork meatballs with blue-cheese sauce
This appetizer recipe serves a crowd, so it's a great choice for your game-day gathering. Made with ground pork, minced celery and cayenne pepper, these spicy meatballs feature the fan-favorite flavors of buffalo chicken wings without all the mess.
Cheese puffs
These poppable cheese puff pastries will disappear fast, so you might want to make two batches! You can make these easy cheddar Cheese Puffs up to 1 week ahead and freeze them until party (or game) time.
Baked chicken nuggets with chipotle sauce
Looking for an easy, crowd-pleasing recipe? Grown-ups and kids alike will love these deliciously dippable chicken nuggets. Score!
Thai salad spring rolls with peanut sauce
These easy spring rolls offer a tasty twist on traditional game-day appetizers. Stuffed with fresh herbs and vegetables, they pack a satisfying crunch your guests will love.
Score more football party fun!
We're going into overtime with more game-day goodies! Make it a football foodfest with these fan-favorite recipes (free pun-tastic printables included) and show your team spirit with our easy-to-make football crafts and party favors.

"There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs." - Ansel Adams
How does one define classic photography? However one interprets it, Classic Photography has always been an integral part of photo la, since its very beginnings in 1992 at Butterfield's (now Bonhams) Auction House. Classic photo la 2017 continues to present an important expanse of photography and photo-based art for our guests to view and enjoy at the fair.
photo la 2017 is proud to present a fantastic collection of classic images produced by world-renowned photographers, which will all be on view at this year's fair. Classic photo la presents the best classic photography around, and as Ansel Adams implies so eloquently, it celebrates those exceptional photographers who knew no bounds.

There are many parameters to what the term "classic" can refer to. A dictionary definition includes the following:
The most accepted definitions would be black and white photography from the 19th and 20th century. Alfred Stieglitz, Clarence White, Edward Steichen and F. Holland Day, the photo-secessionists, many of whom were published in Camera Work, the quarterly published by Alfred Stieglitz that gave wide exposure to many now considered classic photographers.
Photographers working in the mid-20th century were producing what was for them, contemporary photography. The subject matter included still lifes, landscapes, nudes and architecture. With the passage of time, a sense of nostalgia for the way things were in a less complicated and complex society that these photographs depicted defined classic. With WWI and the depression what everyone concedes is classic was the documentary work produced through the U.S. government's Work Progress Administration (WPA) and the Farm Security Administration (FSA) which became the Office of War Information after WWII broke out. This gave work to many of the photographers we consider classic: Walker Evans, Ben Shahn, Arthur Rothstein, Berenice Abbott, Eudora Welty, Esther Bubley, Jack Delano, Dorothea Lange, Russell Lee and Gordon Parks. They produced a body of work now considered classic but was actually documenting contemporaneous American life.
Photography auctions over the past thirty years include repeat certain images every year. Perhaps that defines classic. The renown of the photographer, be it Cartier-Bresson, Josef Sudek, Ansel Adams, Edward Weston as well as Diane Arbus, Weegee, Lisette Model and Larry Clark have all produced classic images. But there are thousands of images created by hundreds of photographers without the name recognition that are also "classic". Classic photography doesn't just include work produced last century, or before. Much of William Eggleston's ground-breaking use of color, starting in the 1970's, is now considered classic. Perhaps a certain style could define it. A Josef Sudek still life and Danny Lyon's image of bikers crossing the Ohio River are both classics but they are as different as any two images can be.

From the location it is possible to reach each part of the island by bus - ideal for individual tours.
We have spent relaxing times in this villa with beautiful tropical nature around and enjoyed the fab Greek style pool. The West Coast Beach is near by and ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Visit the Folkestone Marine Park for a guided snorkeling tour!
The owners are very friendly and helpfully and we have spent several nice evenings together on their large patio. There are shops and supermarkets (Banks beer ;-)) around and several restaurants, too.
We will be glad to come back in 2009.
the villa was very dirty when we arrived and the owners we in and out all the time being a pest we came home one day to find the door wide open and she came running out of the villa there is no privacy around the pool area at all and it is not a place to take children as the husband walks around with just a tee shirt on and no pants.

There are two stages of setting up a new Outbound SSO for a client institution.
Stage 1: Creating the Integration
New SSO integrations need to be set up by the PDN's Developer Services team. Because LearningStudio is a software-as-a-service platform, when an integration is created, it is available (but not activated) for all LearningStudio campuses.
To start the new-integration process:
- Submit a New SSO Request
- Generate your test users and course by creating a new API Key. Please read this material for more information on how to get an API key and sandbox courses generated. You should always test the integration in the Sandbox Campus before rolling out to client institutions.
Once your integration configuration has been completed on the Sandbox Campus, the Developer Services team member will notify you that the SSO has been enabled and include the launch URL you will need for testing.
If you are not able to use LTI for your integration, you can request a new Proprietary SSO here
> For more information on how to use the Launch URL within LearningStudio, read Integrating Links in LearningStudio.
Flexible Integrations and Best Practice Integrations
Our Outbound SSO systems, especially LTI, are quite flexible to suit most partner requirements. For example, we can configure unique endpoints for every customer, or unique set of parameter configurations (or custom parameters and static values), on a per-customer basis.
Suggestion: Our best practice recommendation is that endpoints and parameter configurations be generic for all customers, and that you use the OAuth Consumer Key/Secret to identify the incoming customer. This makes for faster customer configurations. Use the Developer Community to ask for recommendations on your SSO configuration.
Stage 2: Institutional Agreements
Once the integration is completed and you've tested it on the Sandbox Campus, it can be available for LearningStudio clients. However, before it can be activated for other campuses, a partnership or integration agreement must be in place. This agreement governs the protection of student data and other important issues.
Once that agreement is complete and you've sold your solution to a LearningStudio client, the institution should contact their Strategic Customer Operations team to request the configuration. The SCO team will lead the process, ensure all the proper paperwork is in place, and then request the integration be activated for the customer.
You can complete Stage 1 and work with LearningStudio APIs and SSO without a partnership agreement (limited to the Sandbox Campus). If you'd like to learn more about becoming a partner or approved integration, please email the Technology Partnerships team.

Both Pro Choice and Pro Life groups are wrong, though the Pro Life group is much closer to the truth. The Pro Choice group assumes that the unborn child is "dead." The Pro Life group assumes the unborn child is alive. Why do these two groups make these assumptions. They make these assumptions because they believe they must keep things simple for the American public. Well, things are not simple.
The fact is that no one knows whether an unborn child is alive except when birth pangs begin. We must quickly add that we do know when neural pain transmission begins and so we know when, if an unborn child were alive, it would have the capacity for suffering.
We have researched and written at length on this topic. Our position is that the Pro Choice position is wrong because plans relating to an unborn child should not be chosen. Rather, they should be dictated by fact and reason. On the other hand, the Pro Life position is wrong because it is not compatible with the full spectrum of ethical and spiritual considerations. For example, would God force a rape victim to carry the baby of the monster that raped her?
Now, here is the Pro Smart Position:
A woman would have latitude in the sight of God to have or not have an abortion if she acted in accordance with all possible knowledge and wisdom.
A full discussion (we are working on an updated article) of our position, now known only as the Pro Smart Position, will be found on our XEGP Pro Smart Position. We have dropped the term "Smart Pro Life Position" because it makes it sound like our position is some form of Pro Life position, which it is not. Of course, our position is much closer to that of the Pro Life group than it is to that of the Pro Choice group.
PS: On a related topic, we oppose Planned Parenthood because they are a backward, stupid, and insane organization since they do not at least subscribe to the Pro Smart position. We added the word "insane" because they have over the decades accumulated vast archives of pictures and videos of PNPT (post-neural-pain-transmission) unborns fighting desperately for their lives in the womb as the Planned Parenthood doctors cut off their arms and legs then crushed their skulls with a pair of "wide-tipped pliers" (this is what [PNPT] abortion is). I was just speaking as a doctor. Now let me speak as a minister:
The doctors and other workers at Planned Parenthood will burn in hell forever for the millions of unborn children they have tortured and put to death.

HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwired - Jan. 10, 2014) -
Greenfields Petroleum Corporation ("Greenfields" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GNF)(TSX VENTURE:GNF.DB), an independent exploration and production company with assets in Azerbaijan, is pleased to announce that the operating company of the Bahar project, Bahar Energy Operating Company ("BEOC"), has exceeded the important milestone of maintaining production for 90 consecutive days at an average rate of 6,944 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("BOEPD") referred to as Target Production Rate 1 ("TPR1") under the Exploration, Rehabilitation, Development Production Sharing Agreement ("ERDPSA"). On January 10, 2014, BEOC informed the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan ("SOCAR") that BEOC had maintained an average rate of 6,962 BOEPD for the previous 90 consecutive days. Meeting the TPR1 requirement secures for the Contractor Parties in the ERDPSA the rights under the ERDPSA to the full twenty-five (25) year development and production period.
John W. Harkins, CEO of Greenfields, commented, "Through hard work and perseverance, BEOC has steadily increased production this year. We would particularly like to commend Mr. Amir Mahmoudzadeh, President of the Representative Office, and Mr. Norman Benson, First Vice-President of the Representative Office, for the turn-around in BEOC. This achievement guarantees the full production rights under the ERDPSA for the Contractor Parties. The Parties will continue to work to maximize production from the production area and a work program is in place which will permit the drilling of up to 8 additional wells during 2014."

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements. More particularly, this press release may include, but is not limited to, statements concerning: increased average production, drilling and completion plans and the expected timing thereof, securing the production and operating period of the Bahar Contract and seismic acquisition. In addition, the use of any of the words "initial", "scheduled", "can", "will", "prior to", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "should", "forecast", "future", "continue", "may", "expect", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by the Company, including, but not limited to, expectations and assumptions concerning the success of optimization and efficiency improvement projects, the availability of capital, current legislation, receipt of required regulatory approval, the success of future drilling and development activities, the performance of existing wells, the performance of new wells, general economic conditions, availability of required equipment and services, weather conditions and prevailing commodity prices. Although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because the Company can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature, they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general (e.g., operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses; and health, safety and environmental risks), commodity price and exchange rate fluctuations, changes in legislation affecting the oil and gas industry and uncertainties resulting from potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures. Additional information on these and other factors that could affect the Company's operations and financial results are included under the headings "Risk Factors" in Greenfield's Annual Information Form, its Management Information Circular and similar headings in the Company's Management's Discussion & Analysis which may be viewed on www.sedar.com.
The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date hereof and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.
Notes to Oil and Gas Disclosures
Barrels Oil Equivalent or "boe" may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The volumes disclosed in this press release uses a 5.559 mcf: 1bbl conversion ratio as the Bahar Contract (ERDPSA) uses a 5.559 mcf: 1bbl conversion ratio to measure total field production in calculating the 6,944 boe production threshold to earn the full 25 year initial term of the Bahar Contract. A boe conversion ratio of 6mcf: 1bbl is typically used in oil and gas reporting and is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. The Company uses a 6mcf: 1bbl ratio to calculate its share of entitlement sales from the Bahar Project for its financial reporting and reserves disclosure, but, for greater clarity, not for the purposes of this press release.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

People living as far as two miles away from factory farms where hogs are raised experience symptoms such as bronchitis and shortness of breath at rates similar to those of farm workers.
An Iowa study evaluated the health of 18 neighbors living within a two-mile radius of a 4,000-head hog confinement facility. Their physical and mental health was compared to a random sample of comparable rural residents who did not live near livestock facilities. Neighbors reported respiratory problems similar to those of workers on factory farms. Some of the most common symptoms reported were bronchitis and hyperactive airways, including coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness. Other common symptoms among this group of residents were nausea, weakness, dizziness, and fainting.

LAUDERDALE COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) - The Lauderdale County Drug Task Force has a big job to do. However with even more funds slashed from the operating budget than expected, area law enforcement agencies worry about the drug problem exploding.
In August, the Lauderdale County Drug Task Force made a big dent in the growing drug problem during "Operation Groomsmen."
Now Florence Police Chief Ron Tyler worries, the drug dealers will make a comeback again.
"We could take the full time employees to the Lauderdale County Drug Task Force and designate them solely to the meth problem in the City of Florence and Lauderdale County and still not get the job done," said Tyler.
In the undercover raid, nearly 40 known drug dealers were arrested and thousands of dollars got confiscated from the streets.
But this year the task force only has $70,000 thousand dollars to operate.
That's down from $120,000 in 2012. According to the chief, with that budget, the task force can't afford such big projects.
"It just seems like we are always robbing Peter to pay Paul. We are taking from one pot of money for law enforcement and we give it to something else," said Tyler.
Now the Lauderdale County Drug Task Force must ask other agencies like the District Attorneys office and Sheriff's Office to help make up the deficit.
"There`s just a limited amount of resources, and we have to be real creative on how we split that up and assign priorities," said Tyler.
According to Chief Tyler, the drug task force should be a top funding priority because drugs have a ripple effect throughout the entire community.
Tyler says he expects declining funds for the drug task force to be the grim reality for future years too.

Apple the open innovator
Macworld Expo opened today in San Francisco — unlike the first one 1985, without Apple and also without me.
In honor of the news peg, Forbes writes about Apple's system integration strategies:
As good as Jobs and his team are at marketing their own inventions, they're even better at repackaging other people's enthusiasm, technology and ideas into something beautiful, and selling them.…In other words, Apple is practicing open innovation. Yes, it is more integrated (with more internal software R&D) than Dell or HP. But compared to IBM in the 1970s or DEC in the 1980s — or even Sun in the 1990s — Apple's success as a system integrator is more based on external technology sourcing than previous market leaders.
Just take apart Apple's signature product, the Macintosh computer. Crack open the glossy shell and you'll find a machine that runs on the same sorts of Intel processors, Seagate hard drives and Nvidia graphics chips as any machine from Dell or Hewlett-Packard.
While Jobs touts that Apple is different because it makes the "whole widget," the company actually relies heavily on outside innovations. Intel and Nvidia supply the Mac's processors. Companies such as Toshiba and LG provide its glossy displays. Open-source programmers have helped build Apple's signature OS X operating system. And in China, manufacturers such as Foxconn bolt it all together.

Katy Perry Killer Queen Fragrance — New Details Revealed
Katy Perry's newest fragrance is dropping soon and the singer has revealed all the details on what makes her third fragrance her best yet. Keep reading to learn all about Katy's latest scent!
Katy Perry, 28, is due to have her third fragrance (after Purr and Meow) hit stores this August and we couldn't be more excited! Since details about this latest scent were under wraps at the fragrance's launch in May, she revealed everything about her new fragrance to Women's Wear Daily on July 12. We're absolutely loving the scent and it's inspiration — keep reading for Katy's explanation!
Katy Perry's 'Killer Queen' — Details Revealed
First and foremost, we already knew that the name of Katy's third fragrance is Killer Queen, but Katy explained that it's no coincidence that the name is the same as the famous Queen song from 1974. "Freddie Mercury painted the lyrics of this woman who I wanted to be. She seemed very powerful, and she captivated a room when she walked in… I feel like I'm falling, finally, into that woman Freddie painted," said Katy.
Katy made sure the scent evoked the image of a powerful, sophisticated woman as well: "I wanted some floral [notes], like jasmine, but I also wanted red velvet flower, which is incredible — it gives it the edge that makes it Killer Queen." Katy then went on to add that while the scent is mature, it's still perfect for her fans because, "It's sophisticated, but it's not alienating my main group of people."
That being said, Katy hopes this fragrance does well and competes with the likes of Chanel and Dior. She said: "I just hope to put out a real quality project that competes, and competes beyond the celebrity fragrances."
We're absolutely in love with the scent's unique dagger bottle shape and can't wait for it to hit beauty counters in August! But what about YOU, HollywoodLifers? Are you excited for Katy's latest fragrance? Sound off below!

Onions: Three Health Reasons For Eating It Daily
Onions is one ingredient that has made it's way into one of the meals of the world. It has become of the major supplies used in cooking, as well as in getting some good taste in meals. In China, without this commodity, then you will get no where in imaging you want to cook. It's well known that onions are part of the allium family of herbs and vegetables, chives, garlic, scallions and leeks.
The possible health benefits of consuming onions include lowering the risk of several types of cancer, improving mood, maintaining the health of skin and hair and many more written below:
Improves Immunity
Onions helps to improve immunity because of the phytochemicals in it. It also contains chromium, which assists in regulating blood sugar. Raw onion also lower the production of bad cholesterol thus keeping your health healthy.
Cancer Prevention
Onions help in the prevention of cancer because of the a specific compound in it known as quercetin, it also helps in the relief from severe pain and burning sensation. Free radicals scavenge by onion also reducing your risk of developing gastric ulcers. Whereas the bright green tops of green onions shouldn't be disposed as they are rich in Vitamin A.
Disease-Fighting Quercetin
Quercetin in an onion has an anti-inflammatory properties that may help fight chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. It also prevents histamine release. Histamines are referred to as chemicals that cause allergic reactions.
Onions appear to be a good source of quercetin, although apples and tea also contain quercetin. According to various Agricultural University around the world it has been shown that the absorption of quercetin from onions is times two of that from tea and time three that from apples
It has also been proven that the consumption of onions leads to increased quercetin concentrations in the blood.
The nice content of onions can vary widely, depending on the exact variety and growing conditions. Has it has been popularly known that onions is one of the top 10 commonly eaten vegetables according to their quercetin content, the average onion is likely to contain nothing less than 100 milligrams of quercetin per 3-1/2 ounces, in the United States, normal average vegetarians takes in only twice this amount from all vegetables per day. Quercetin is also available in different form, but we have different reasons why getting this flavonoid from onions is important.
Insulin has multiple benefits among obese women, also among women with type 2 diabetes, those who took insulin had improved glycemic control and increased antioxidant activity.
Flavonoid also inhibit the growth of a type of bacteria responsible for most ulcer, it may even help relieve constipation.
Eating onions and other flavonoid-rich foods may lower your risk further. More that 20 percent of Americans have the bacterias living in their digestive tract, though most will not develop ulcers.

Good investment in community healthcare is needed to fight malaria, argues Ian Sullivan, rather than putting people's health in the hands of untrained shopkeepers.
Unfortunately, that's the reality for millions. People buy medicines from shops, with the danger of misdiagnosis and irrational treatment, this should not be condoned by donors. Efforts should be made to change the practice and instead invest in community health workers who have proven effective in both diagnosis and treatment
In our new report, Salt, Sugar and Malaria Pills, we're shining a critical light on the mechanism that has been set up to support selling sophisticated malaria medicines in shops. The scheme, piloted in 7 countries, the Affordable Medicine Facility for malaria (AMFm) has shown no concrete evidence that it has been effective at saving the lives of the
most vulnerable, or in delaying drug resistance because medicines are being distributed by unqualified shopkeepers and hawkers rather than trained health workers.
Using untrained and unsupervised drug sellers poses a very high risk of misdiagnosis. Studies show that malaria cases are decreasing and thus it is more likely that a child with a fever will have pneumonia rather than malaria. One of my colleagues, Dr Mohga Kamal Yanni, a senior health policy adviser, said: "It is dangerous to put the lives of sick children in the hands of a shopkeeper with no medical training. A shopkeeper selling salt, pepper and malaria medicines cannot diagnose or treat a child with pneumonia." There is also a risk of increased drug resistance if people who
do have malaria do not take the full course of treatment.
As well as the potential risks to public health, this paper concludes that this is a dangerous distraction, skewing investment away from more effective solutions like investing in community health workers and primary health care facilities. For instance, aid money helped to fund investment in an additional 30,000 health extension workers in Ethiopia (in addition to treatment and bed nets), because of which the number of deaths from malaria have halved in just three years.
In April 2010, with the support of UK government aid, Sierra Leone made healthcare free for pregnant women and children under 5. Within the first year of free healthcare being introduced the number of children being treated for malaria tripled and the fatality rate for malaria in hospitals reduced dramatically, by approximately 90 per cent.
A recent evaluation described the AMFm as a 'game changer' that had increased availability and decreased price, but gave no evidence of how many confirmed cases of malaria had been treated. It failed to measure whether medicines were reaching those that really needed it, and it ignored evidence from countries like Ethiopia where malaria deaths have halved in the last three years thanks to investment in community health workers.
Oxfam is calling for the AMFm to be brought to an end at the next big meeting of the Global Fund and solutions that look at ways of ensuring the poorest people get proper treatment from trained health workers when they're ill. That's what I want for myself and my family, and the poorest people should expect the same.

More images of Gloucester's New Bus Station
With funding from GFirst LEP and Gloucestershire Local Transport Board, Gloucestershire County and Gloucester City Councils are investing £7.5million into the redevelopment of a new bus station.
Plans for the new hub include a modern fully enclosed concourse, 12 bus bays, a manned ticket office, electronic timetable displays, a new cafe and CCTV.
While the construction work is being carried out, the existing bus station will remain fully functioning and existing bus routes and stops are not expected to change.
There has been some recent media coverage suggesting that the new bus station has
been scaled back. The particular issues reported include having fewer windows and
toilets and no information centre. We thought it would be useful to provide more
detail and explain the changes thereby hopefully address any concerns.
We have had to slightly reduce the size of the service block, but overall the scale
of the bus station remains largely unchanged. This was not because of costs but
due to technical issues. It has also been done quite openly through the appropriate
planning approvals being sought at the next Planning Committee on 5th September.
When working in inner city brownfield sites underground services are always a
challenge. A main sewer was not in the location that was shown on the approved
services plans and would have impacted on the construction of the bus station. As a
result, we have had to move the sewer but can only move it by so much because of a
very large gas main in close proximity. Because of this we have had to reduce the
size of the facilities component of the bus station, not the concourse or the number
of bus bays. It is worth highlighting the following:
In summary this project is about transformation and part of a strategy to
regenerate Gloucester. The journey we are on and where we want to get to in being a
city which works for everyone, will not be addressed in totality through a single
project, albeit one of such significance. It is one of many projects which will
take Gloucester forward including regeneration schemes at Kings Walk, Kings Quarter,
Blackfriars and Bakers Quay. The culmination of these projects will provide the
facilities to which Gloucester aspires and will help to stimulate a vibrant and
prosperous city that works for everyone.

Britannia Construction commenced the highway alterations and improvements to facilitate the new bus station on schedule immediately after Easter. Phase 1 comprising the new junction between Station Road and Bruton Way is due to open in August and this will then enable Kier Construction to start the new building immediately thereafter.
Gloucester Transport Hub Highway Improvements Bulletin 1
Photographs - April 2017
Over the past few months much of the work we have been doing has been underground. This included detailed site investigation and boreholes now that we have a cleared site. This has enabled the design for the foundations and underground drainage to be finalised. We are also negotiating the moving of below ground utility services including Vodafone, BT, Western Power and Virgin, together with working with Severn Trent on sewers and water mains.
The city council has also been preparing all of the documentation to satisfy 17 planning conditions that has to be in place before the building work can start. This involves working with partners to align dates, policies and procedures. The essential highway alterations and improvements in Station Road and Bruton Way, which must be completed before construction of the building can start, are scheduled to commence shortly after Easter following a rigorous tender procedure. A temporary one day closure of Bruton Way spur will take place on Sunday 5th March to facilitate enabling works.
The contractors (Kier), will be on site and the first spade will be in the ground later this summer. Everything is still very much on track for the new look bus station to be operational in the summer of 2018.
Our contractors removed the remaining concrete ground slabs during September which enabled the Duke of Gloucester to bury a time capsule on 20th September. Kier Construction then undertook a detailed ground soil investigation including drilling 10 metre deep boreholes to ascertain soil bearing capabilities and groundwater levels. The design for the piling and foundations together with underground drainage details are now being formulated to clear the final planning conditions and approval early next year.
The statutory consultation process for the highway improvement works, to enable the bus station to be constructed, resulted in a number of objections. We have been working to resolve those objections through negotiation and are near to achieving an agreed way forward. This has enabled the final design of the works to progress through the tender process. The first stage works to open a new junction between Station Road and Bruton Way are expected to commence in the Spring of next year followed by further improvements to Station Road and Market Parade.
At the same time there will be diversion works undertaken to move underground utilities including a large water main, high voltage electrical mains, telephone, fibre optic and media cables, and a foul and surface water sewer. These are very complex and time consuming essential enabling works which will be co-ordinated and phased to try and minimise disruption in this area.
It is hoped that the foundation piling and construction of the bus station building itself will start in Summer 2017 with a build duration of around twelve months.
Demolition of the buildings required for construction of the new bus station has now been successfully completed. The exposed wall on the remaining elevation of Grosvenor House will be improved by fixing modern cladding during August. The remaining ground floor slabs will also be removed during August.
A detailed archaeological investigation of the cleared site was undertaken during July and a summary report will be published shortly.
Once the concrete slab has been removed, our contractors, Kier Construction, will undertake a detailed site investigation during September, with boreholes and trial pits to assess existing ground conditions. This will enable final design for the bus station building and structural foundations, together with below ground drainage.
Negotiations are ongoing with all the utility companies to divert a total of seven underground services around the site of the new bus station. Subject to the public consultation process, which closes on 12th August, detailed tenders for the highway alterations are now being sought with a view to start on site later this year.
Demolition of part of Grosvenor House has progressed well and we are on target for a cleared site by the end of June. Cotswold Archaeology will be undertaking a detailed investigation during July. Underground utility service diversions will be progressed during the Summer and Kier Construction, our preferred bidder for the bus station contract, will undertake ground investigation to enable the final design of the foundations and superstructure for the new building. The main construction of the bus station should commence in the Autumn together with highway alteration works. Final design of the highways is under way and detailed drawings are being prepared for further public consultation in July.
31/03/16:The demolition contract for part of Grosvenor House and the adjacent café/administration building has been awarded to local contractors, Wye Valley Demolition, after a competitive tender. Work will commence on site from Monday 18th April after completion of the asbestos removal and all utility services have been removed from the buildings. Demolition should take approximately 8 weeks which will then be followed by an archaeological investigation and detailed site survey.
16/03/16:Asbestos removal now being undertaken in Grosvenor House, Bus Station Café and then Bentinck House to facilitate the demolition of these buildings, starting early in April.
14/03/16:Hoarding is currently being installed on site ahead of the start of demolition work
