Women bishops: Ordinary churchgoers could shape CofE's future
Supporters of women bishops in the Church of England have called on churchgoers to organise and push through the policy in the form they want, in the church's next General Synod in 2015.
They believe they have been outflanked by their well-organised opponents, who succeeded in scuppering the move to ordain woman as bishops in last month's General Synod.
Now they plan to fight back, by mobilising ordinary church members on their behalf, in a bid to push through a "single-clause measure" stating simply that women can be bishops, without any concessions in the law to cater for their opponents.
But how practical is this call, and can lay members really affect policy on important and controversial issues?
Both sides in the debate clearly believe they can - especially after the move to allow women bishops was defeated after not enough lay members in the Synod voted for the change.
The policy needed the support of two-thirds of each of the Synod's Houses to get through.
But while more than two-thirds of the members of the Houses of Bishops and Clergy supported the policy, it failed in the House of Laity, where 132 lay representatives voted for women bishops - but 74 voted against.
Those who voted against insist that they were not trying to block women bishops' appointment.
They were trying to stop a law which did not guarantee their own place in the Church.
They want any law which passes to allow stand-in bishops appointed to look after them to have sufficient independent authority.
Outflanked in elections
Last month's result emphasised the power of of the House of Laity, and led to a call to action by a prominent leader of the campaign to ordain women bishops.
Campaigners for the Women and the Church group (Watch) say opponents of women bishops ran a well-organised campaign to get more of their supporters into the House of Laity.
Now Watch is calling on ordinary churchgoers to register themselves as voters on parish electoral rolls, and play a part in electing a House Of Laity that will push through a change in the church rules in 2015 - the next General Synod.
They believe the vast majority of ordinary churchgoers are in favour of women bishops, and that the vote in the House of Laity did not reflect true opinion.
Said Watch's Rachel Weir - said: "You can feel the energy out there - and the outrage - at what's happened."
The Reverend Hugh Lee, Watch's co-ordinator in the General Synod said: "We assumed, wrongly, the laity vote on women bishops would go our way.
"After all, we have women priests, and we thought that women bishops would be just as acceptable to lay members.
"But in the 2010 elections our opponents knew that women bishops would be an issue, and they mobilised their forces and got their candidates standing.
Our supporters - the silent majority - did not realise the need to take these elections so seriously."
Evidence for Mr Lee's assessment of the commitment of his opponents can be found on the website of the conservative evangelical group Reform which says that 31 of its members were elected during the 2010 General Synod elections, and describes the figure as "a significant increase".
But Watch accuses its opponents of not merely running a co-ordinated election strategy but, more seriously, of concealing their opposition to women bishops in candidates' election statements.
Mr Lee said: "A lot of the time what they said was not explicit. A candidate's election statement might say: 'I'm in favour of women's ministry", which you might take to be supportive of women bishops, but in reality could be women running the Sunday school, for instance."
Intensely political
Casual observers of the general synod - which makes Church of England policy - might be forgiven for not viewing it as a political body.
In practice, the synod is intensely political, with rival factions organising in favour and against important changes - such as women bishops, or same sex-marriage.
It is thought supporters of women bishops failed largely because they were opposed by a well-organised alliance of two quite different groups within the House of Laity: conservative evangelicals represented by the Reform group; and Anglo-Catholics with a traditional view of how the church should operate.
Martin Dales, of the Catholic Group in General Synod, voted against women bishops, and accepts that some of the failure of the "pro" faction could be attributed to the 2010 Synod elections which he acknowledged returned a more "conservative" group of representatives to the House of Laity.
He explained why his group made an alliance with evangelicals: "Sometimes you do make common cause when you find ourselves desirous of getting the same end - in this case a rejection of women bishops.
"We both believed that the church position on women, which had been the same for centuries, needed to be upheld."
He rejected accusations by supporters of women bishops that a well-organised campaign had skewed representation in the House of Laity, which he insisted reflected opinion in the church as a whole.
In particular he quoted a poll by the Bible Society which suggested a quarter of churchgoers were opposed to women bishops. He said this was reflected in the opinion of House of Laity.
The fact that more than a quarter of the House voted against was accounted for by lay members who supported women bishops, but did not wish to split the Church, he said.
The poll's methodology is questioned by some of those who support women bishops.
Split the church
Mr Dales also dismissed accusations that a clever election campaign in 2010 had inserted the right people into the House of Laity, and that some of those elected had hidden their opposition to women bishops:
"Honestly, this was not just a group of conservatives and evangelicals who opposed women bishops.
"There were a lot of people who supported women bishops, but voted against them because they didn't want to split the church.
"And I reject the accusation that our candidates concealed their position. People don't necessarily write their election address in the same way - you don't necessarily mention particular issues. and there is no three-line whip on what you do and don't say."
Whatever the outcome at the next General Synod, it seems clear that ordinary churchgoers will play a significant part in whether the church will make fundamental changes to the way it is run, with many predicting a damaging and permanent split if supporters of women bishops finally get their way.
Both supporters and opponents view the elections to the local synods in the Church's 718 deaneries in spring 2014 as the next key date.
Watch campaigner Hugh Lee said the first step would be to encourage people to get on their church electoral rolls - because the numbers on these rolls determined how many representatives a parish had on the deanery synods.
A Church of England spokesperson told the BBC: "We have always encouraged parishioners to play a proper part in every aspect of parish life where their gifts will make a difference - whether or not they are members of the electoral roll."

- What is a Wireless Camera?
Wireless Security Cameras are a combination of three components: A camera, a transmitter to send the signal, and a receiver to receive the signal. A wireless camera transmits video from a built-in transmitter to a receiver, which is in turn plugged into either a monitor or other recording device.
Wireless cameras come all shapes and sizes; some look like traditional security cameras, while others are inconspicuous, spy cameras that resemble just about anything. The possibilities are as endless. Wireless spy cameras are true masters of disguise, like a chameleon, they observe everything while blending effortlessly with their surroundings.
- How far can wireless cameras transmit?
Wireless Cameras come all shapes and sizes and are capable of transmitting to different distances. The transmission range of a Wireless Camera is usually rated by use the Line-of-Sight (LOS). Standard Wireless Video Cameras have a range of about 700 feet LOS. The signal can be transmitted through most solid objects including glass, plastic, wood, fiberglass, and some metals, but the signal is attenuated. So the actual transmission range depends on the number and type of objects you are transmitting through, such as brick walls, concrete walls, trees, etc. An ordinary 700 ft. LOS Covert Camera can typically transmit signal through about 6 interior walls with ranges up to 300 feet and is designed to work comfortably in a building up to 6,000 square foot (home or office).
- What is the difference between various frequencies?
Most cameras operate on a 2.4 GHz frequency, as do cordless phones. There are three other frequencies: 2.4 GHz, 1.2 GHz, 900 MHz, 5.8 GHz, each with their own unique specifications.

Title: Namabhasa
User: Swami Gaurangapada Date: 2006-03-08 19:13:00
Namabhasa is it good or bad? in shri haranama cintamani its says conflicting things , i want to understand , is not one supposed to chant offencelessly?
Answer by Swami Gaurangapada:
Very good question . I am very grateful to you for studying Harinama Chintamani (HNC) of Shrila Bhaktivinoda Thakura. It is the greatest scripture on the science of chanting.
I will briefly answer your question for now:
There are different kind of Namabhasa described in HNC. Abhasa means a faint glimpse or shadow. and Namaabhaasa means a faint glimpse or shadow of the full power of the Holy Name.
There are basically two broad main categories:
(I) Chhaya Namabhasa; (II) Pratibimba Namabhasa
(I) Chhaya Namabhasa
The Namabhasa which leads us to the higher levels of chanting the Holy Name. This is furthur divided into two:
(A) Shraddha Chhaya Namabhasa
Chanting in this namabhasa with faith about the glories of the Holy Names is the only way to reach the stage of pure offenseless chanting of Shuddha Nama or pure love of God.
(B) Ashraddha Chhaya Namabhasa
This Namabhasa is the stage of chanting when one chants unknowingly without much faith in the Holy Names. This is of 4 types as described in Shrimad Bhagavatam:
(i) Sanketa Ashraddha Chhaya Namabhasa
To chant the Holy Names of the Lord while addressing another person with those Names like for eg. Ajamila addressing his son Narayana in the 6th canto.
(ii) Parihasya Ashraddha Chhaya Namabhasa
To chant the Holy Names while laughing or making fun of the Lord or others. Like for eg, Jarasandha chanting the Holy Names when he was making fun of Lords Krishna-Balarama before fighting with Them.
(iii) Stobha Ashraddha Chhaya Namabhasa
To chant the Holy Names while criticizing or enviously ridiculing the Lord, His devotees or normal people. The eg. for this is Shishupala who abused the Lord a 100 times in the Rajasuya sacrifice but unknowingly chanted His Holy Names while doing that.
(iv) Hela Ashraddha Chhaya Namabhasa
To chant the Holy Names unknowingly while dancing, singing etc in the presence of some congregational chanting without being aware of the full glories of chanting.
This four types of Ashraddha Chhaya Namabhasa can grant us the heavenly pleasures, liberation and Vaikuntha in very very rare cases but no pure love of God. Only Shraddha Chhaya Namabhasa can allow us to reach the stage of pure love of God.
(II) Pratibimba Namabhasa
This Namabhasa is offensive and detrimental and which is basically accompanied by the intense desire to become God while chanting the Holy Name basically due to an inherent envy to the position of God.
Since this kind of chanting in Pratibimba Namabhasa is accompanied by the desire to usurp the position of God and become God oneself, one gets degraded to hell by chanting in Pratibimba Namabhasa. Or the soul may be granted sayujya mukti or impersonal liberation by the Lord and thus punished by the Lord by keeping the soul bereft from His directly devotional service in the Vaikuntha planets for millions upon millions of years in the brahmajyoti.
I hope this helps to clarify your misunderstanding. Since Harinama Chintamani has directly emanated from Namacharya Shrila Haridasa Thakura's lotus mouth in the presence of Lord Gauranga Himself, there can never be any contradiction is this most sublime scripture.
Yours in service, Swami Gaurangapada.

Redlasso Inc., the Webbased video clipping service that's been dormant since July, is ready to ride again.
The King of Prussia company shut access to its service after several television networks sued it for copyright and trademark infringement.
That litigation was settled in late October. Yesterday, Redlasso announced it had struck a deal with Fox Television Stations - one of the plaintiffs - for rights to syndicate local news content from the 16 Fox stations that have broadcast news operations, including Fox29 in Philadelphia.
Still no deal with Fox News Network, which handles its cable-produced content.
Redlasso's technology had been a favorite among bloggers, because it was easy to find clips of network TV interviews and imbed them into blog posts. Too easy: Redlasso hadn't gotten permission from any content provider to record and distribute its work.
That led to a legal showdown that could've spelled the end for the two-year-old start-up and opportunity for competing services, such as 1Cast Inc. and Voxant Inc.
Bloggers should not notice any change in how the service works when Redlasso restarts in early April, said its CEO Al McGowan.
Ron Stitt, Fox Television Stations' vice president of digital media, said in an interview that the company's agreement with Redlasso is one of several it has with other technology firms to expand the online reach of its content.
The two companies will share advertising revenue, he said.
Redlasso requires bloggers and news-oriented Web sites to register in order to use its service, which allows them to search the content, create customized clips and imbed them in a blog posting.
McGowan said Redlasso is working to reach deals with other media companies.

This place, 60km north of Hyderabad, was named after a sage named Yadava, who performed intense austerities to see Lord Vishnu in his form as Lord Narasimha. Being pleased with him, Lord Vishnu appeared before him as Jwala Narasimha, Gandabheranda Narasimha, and Yogananda Narasimha. He begged the Lord to remain permanently on the hill in these three forms. Yadagiri is the corrupted form of the original name, Yadava-giri. The temple here is on top of a hill.
Lakshmi Narasimha Temple.
There are three forms of Lord Narasimha in this temple—Jwala Narasimha, Gandabheranda Narasimha, and Yogananda Narasimha—each embedded in stone. The oil lamps here are kept burning 24 hours a day. Many people visit this temple.
It is said that whatever a sincere devotee prays for here will not go unfulfilled; no pilgrimage to this place is made in vain. It is also stated that incurable diseases will be remedied here if one worships the Lord for a week or two, or even better, for forty days, with faith and determination.
The temple is situated upon a 90m (300 ft) hill. At the foot of this hill is a gateway with a gopuram called Vaikuntha-dwara, or "gateway to Vaikuntha," the spiritual world.

The design is for those who carry attitude. One should not be scared of anything and become a go-getter in life. The idea of skating came when I was doing this design because when you start learning to skate, you fall 100 times before you can stand up and skate for few mins. Skating is a very difficult sport and one becomes fearless during the sport.

Rather than going down the certification route, Lindt & Sprüngli have opted for company control of their entire supply chain, from farm to factory. Lindt & Sprüngli have devised their own verification framework which monitors child labour on farms and adherence to the company's standards of best practice. It is externally verified by The Forest Trust.
In 2008 they established the Lindt & Sprüngli Farming Program which aims to improve cocoa yields while also focusing on agricultural and community development to encourage farmers to continue farming cocoa in the future. The goal is to foster pride in, and ultimately local ownership of, the development programme.
1. 100% of cocoa bean supply chain is traced and externally verified by The Forest Trust.
2. Community participation in the development of the programme.
3. 100% of cocoa farms are visited and monitored on an annual basis.
1. Child labour monitoring is via 250 Lindt & Sprüngli field agents rather than a community based system.
2. No published impact reports.
3. The social side of their Farming Program still needs to expand.

Arabic Typesetting

2006 Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved.Description
Arabic Typesetting is a new design in the Naskh style, particularly well suited for traditional book typography, an area neglected by digital type. The font provides fine typographic control by marrying the latest OpenType technology to traditional calligraphic and typographic models. It achieves maximum readability by opening bowls and counters, balancing the proportions of stroke and white space in letters that typically cause problems at small sizes, and by contextually differentiating similar forms. The font contains over 2,100 glyphs, including contextual alternates, ligatures, and language-specific forms.Great care was taken in the design and digitization of all outlines. The graceful curves, the dynamic of blunt and rounded terminals, and the contrast between thick and thin strokes are consistent and lively throughout the typeface. In addition to providing all the correct shapes for quality Arabic typesetting, the same care and consistency has been applied in glyphs used for the many other languages, such as Farsi, Urdu, Sindhi, etc., that are written in variants of the Arabic script. This means that documents incorporating several language will have a harmonious appearance.The Arabic glyphs are accompanied by Latin letters designed to achieve a balance of color, weight and proportion between the two scripts. Typically, the trend in co-ordinating Arabic and Latin types has been to unhappily force the Arabic to match the proportions of the Latin. In this font, likely for the first time, the Latin has been adjusted to harmonize with the Arabic: the ascenders and descenders have been lengthened to echo the proportions of the Arabic extenders, and the usual impact of capital letters has been reduced by making them a similar weight to the lowercase.License

After many many travels to the US, I finally made it to Joshua Tree National Park the last I visited California. This is a dream place for someone like me who is in love with the desert. It is a dream place for a photographer.
I cannot wait to go back again.

The real disconnect in this country is not between Republicans and Democrats, not between red and blue or the righteous and the libertines. The real gulf is between the political establishment that feeds off those divisions and a populace that just might be willing to confront our problems frankly and honestly.
Think about the questions that neither George Bush nor John Kerry would address head-on:
Abu Ghraib -- who are we and what have we taught our children to be?
The clash of civilizations -- why do they hate us and how do we turn that around?
The loss of jobs -- how will we make ends meet and what should we train our kids to do?
Security -- forget the silly window dressing of color coding and Jersey barriers. What changes in our daily lives are necessary to stop them from blowing us up?
And poverty -- exactly how is it possible that we can be so rich, yet be surrounded by people who have so shamefully little and see no way up?
Rather than speak to the nation as adults about any of those issues, the candidates made this a campaign about stylistic differences: Win the war by intimidation or persuasion? Make nice to your friends or bull ahead with your own plan? Barely a word was spoken about changing how we live so that we're not at the mercy of foreign oil barons.
The governing dictum among politicians of all stripes is that Americans cannot be trusted to consider adult solutions to tough problems. So in the face of the gargantuan spending increases they both favored, the presidential candidates cheered tax cuts; they differed only in how they'd treat the super-rich.
Of course, there's no popular clamor for higher taxes. But check out Tuesday's results in every single Washington area community that asked its citizens if they would pay for new services. No matter where the voters lived, no matter their party or ideology, they said, yes, these are things we need, and we have to pay for them:
In Fairfax, voters decided to buy Metro the rail cars and parking spaces it needs to ease its current crunch; Fairfax also said yes to new parks, recreation centers, libraries, a home for delinquent teenage girls and several mental health facilities. Prince George's County voters approved road, library, community college and firehouse improvements.
Arlington voters approved new parks, schools and Metro and road improvements. Even supposedly tax-shy Loudoun agreed -- overwhelmingly -- to spend a sobering $100 million-plus on new schools, as well as a new park, community centers and even a performing arts center.
These are not trifling projects. They are big expenditures, undertaken by people with stressed and economically tight lives. But in every single case, the bond issues won by large, even huge margins.
Yet if you watch the politics in either tax-cut-addicted Virginia or slots-obsessed Maryland, all you see is lawmakers falling over each other to see who can promise the voters a bigger something for an even more brazen nothing.
The central question in American politics -- nationally and locally -- is how far things have to deteriorate before the will to address problems can be mustered. Must Metro, like New York's subway in the 1970s, suffer an epidemic of crashes and outages before it gets a rehab? Must we have homeless people on every block before our suburbs and the District take on the paucity of affordable housing? Must once-stellar schools chase away an entire generation of parents before teacher quality is confronted?
In the past week alone, I've had politicians tell me that the following things "cannot be done": Ease traffic congestion in Northern Virginia, meet Maryland's needs without putting slot machines in poor neighborhoods, build new schools in the District, get Metro's service back to the level we once enjoyed.
Yet the voters seem to believe that all is far from lost. People still pay top dollar to live here; they do so with the expectation that life will be good and get better. The lesson in this election is that the people are ahead of the politicians, ready to move forward.

Between 2009 to 2013, I was part of Tara seamen crew, a French sailing research vessel, during the expedition Tara Ocean. Aboard, I was chef (my previous job and still a passion). I cooked meals for the 15 people aboard. I have not slept a lot and it was challenging to work has a photographer and a chef in the mean time, but the amazing voyage of Tara made this opportunity unavoidable !
My voyages abord was firstly (check the map :) ), from Djibouti to Mauricius Island / From Gambier archipelago to Hawaii and from New York City to Lorient, the arrival in Brittany.
I'm really happy to present and share with you those huge archives finally captioned and sorted, about this slice of life...
Who is Tara ?
Tara has been created and designed by doctor Jean Louis Etienne in 1989 to accomplish a complete Arctic drift. Her first name was Antartica. Etienne's project to cross the Arctic failed, despite he prooved the concept of Tara's typical round hull who can lift up the ship from the ice, where any normal ship is supposed to be compressed and destroyed by the floe.
After JL. Etienne, Peter Blake, legendary NZ sailor, bought Antartica for a round the world expedition trip with environnemental goals. He named the boat "Seamaster".
Tragically, Blake has been killed aboard Seamaster by pirates in the Amazon river, in Brazil. After this, Agnes Troublé, more known under Agnès b. in the fashion world, bought the ship with her son Etienne Bourgois to re-launch a large program of scientific expeditions. Since 2006, the sailing Schooner run dozen of expeditions among all oceans involving hundreds of scientists and laboratories around the world.
Nowadays Tara became a foundation that warn the governments about oceans pollution by studying and better understanding plankton and coral, the best " oceans health indicator". Tara communication also help the world to better understand that we reached a time that we need to change our bad habits specially regarding the plastic consumption.

It takes a gin mill to raise a child—or so one might think from this memoir filled with gladness by a Pulitzer Prize–winning Los Angeles Times correspondent.
In the early '70s, grade-schooler Moehringer lived with his mother in her father's house in Manhasset, a small town 17 miles east of Manhattan that F. Scott Fitzgerald used as the setting for The Great Gatsby. Listening to the radio for his absent father (a drunken deejay), puzzled by his slovenly grandfather, the boy had no male role models until Uncle Charlie took him to the local saloon where he bartended. Moehringer evokes the sights, sounds and smells that gave Publicans (originally known as Dickens) its sodden charm: not just the beer and the fund of coins accumulating in the urinal, but the "faint notes of perfumes and colognes, hair tonics and shoe creams, lemons and steaks and cigars and newspapers, and an undertone of brine from Manhasset Bay." Sporting Runyonesque nicknames like Bob the Cop, Cager, Stinky, Colt, Smelly, Jimbo, Fast Eddy and Bobo, the bar's denizens included poets, bookies, Vietnam vets, lawyers, actors, athletes, misfits and dreamers, all forming "one enormous male eye looking over my shoulder." Moehringer captures in all its raunchy, often hilarious glory the conversations of these master storytellers, as intoxicated by words as by alcohol. Their saloon community later provided a retreat for the author following a disastrous collegiate love affair and failure as a New York Times copyboy. The 1989 death of charismatic owner Steve began Publicans' demise, but also propelled 25-year-old Moehringer into growing up, as he left his buddies behind and began his journalism career anew out West.
A straight-up account of masculinity, maturity and memory that leaves a smile on the face and an ache in the heart.

Today in the news it has been said that in America, there is a new website that works kind of like a dating website but is for people to purely find a partner to have a baby with. No romance, no relationship - just a baby.
I would imagine that, like a dating site you would arrange to meet up and see if you are compatible and that you get on so much so you are happy to have a baby together but as for anything else, that doesn't really matter. Alot of people are obviously saying what a bad idea this is and that it is steering away from the idea of a 'normal' family.
The creator of this website is either crazy or a genius! Just think how many children are created through one night stands and out of a relationship anyway. How many people get pregnant on purpose when they feel their time is nearly up or make a pact with one of their best friends to have a baby together? It happens, it is happening now so is this website really so bad? It is just catering for people that want the best friend to make a baby pact with but perhaps don't have that friend. This way, they are meeting someone who wants the same thing they do. It's like a sperm donor but with both parents involved in the upbringing.
I can see why people would be against it though. Children ideally should be born into a loving family with loving parents. Is this website promoting the idea that you now don't have to worry too much about finding Mr or Miss Right in time because now you have a back up should you want a baby. Also, how do you know it will work out ok in the long run? You might get on initially but neither person will know eachother or their full past; good bits and bad bits - unlike when you are in a relationship. On the other hand though, in this day and age meeting the right person is more difficult for some who want to have a career. Some people have dated and dated and still not met the person they want to start a family with and if something like this site is available rather than sperm donors then why not?
We live in a very modern world and alot of children are being raised in very modern families - does that mean they are less happy? There are lots of children being brought up by a mum and dad and are unhappy too.
Despite the fact I can't decide my opinion on this topic, I must admit I couldn't do it. I would never judge a friend if they decided this was the route they wanted to go down but I must admit, I think the good old fashioned way appeals to me the most. Easy for me to say? Perhaps... I am still at the age where I feel I am not ready for children but at least when I do, I am married and will be having a baby with the man I love. As much as I am open minded it seems a bit cold to meet up with someone you have met online to have a baby with, but the same could be said for sperm donors or online dating. I know three people who met their current partner online and all three relationships are very happy. One couple are happily married.
My thoughts are as long as the children are brought up in a loving home with loving parents, no matter who they are.
Surely that's what matters.......?

Repeal & Rewrite AFSPA - because AFSPA has led to the near collapsed of Criminal Justice System and culture of impunity of unbridled violence in Northeast India.
The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act of 1958 (AFSPA) is one of the more draconian legislation that the Indian Parliament has passed in its 45 years of Parliamentary history. Under this Act, all security forces are given unrestricted and unaccounted power to carry out their operations, once an area is declared disturbed. Even a non-commissioned officer is granted the right to shoot to kill based on mere suspicion that it is necessary to do so in order to "maintain the public order".
The AFSPA gives the armed forces wide powers to shoot, arrest and search, all in the name of "aiding civil power." It was first applied to the North Eastern states of Assam and Manipur and was amended in 1972 to extend to all the seven states in the north- eastern region of India. They are Assam, Manipur, Tripura, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and Nagaland, also known as the "seven sisters". The enforcement of the AFSPA has resulted in innumerable incidents of arbitrary detention, torture, rape, and looting by security personnel. This legislation is sought to be justified by the Government of India, on the plea that it is required to stop the North East states from seceeding from the Indian Union. There is a strong movement for self-determination which precedes the formation of the Indian Union.
The AFSPA has not only led to human rights violations, but it has allowed members of the armed forces to perpetrate abuses with impunity. They have been shielded by clauses in the AFSPA that prohibit prosecutions from being initiated without permission from the central government. Such permission is rarely granted.
"Violations under the AFSPA have served as a recruiting agent for militant groups, In both Kashmir and the northeast, we have heard over and over again that abuses by troops, who are never punished for their crimes, have only shrunk the space for those supporting peaceful change."
Indians have long protested against the AFSPA. The Supreme Court has issued guidelines to prevent human rights violations, but these are routinely ignored. Since 2000, Irom Sharmila, an activist in Manipur, has been on hunger strike demanding repeal of the act. The government has responded by keeping her in judicial custody, force-fed through a nasal tube, and has ignored numerous appeals for repeal from activists in Jammu and Kashmir.
Following widespread protests after the 2004 murder in custody of an alleged militant called Manorama Devi in Manipur, the Indian government set up a five-member committee to review the AFSPA. The review committee submitted its report on June 6, 2005, recommending repeal of the act. In April 2007, a working group on Jammu and Kashmir appointed by the prime minister also recommended that the act be revoked. However, the cabinet has not acted on these recommendations because of opposition from the armed forces.
If the AFSPA is not repealed, it must at a bare minimum comply with international law and Indian law standards. This means the powers to shoot to kill under section 4(a) must be unequivocally revoked. Arrests must be made with warrants and no force should be allowed in the search and seizure procedures. Section 5 should clearly state that persons arrested under the Act are to be handed over to the police within twenty-four hours. Section 6 should be completely repealed so that individuals who suffer abuses at the hands of the security forces may prosecute their abusers.
Moreover, the definition of key phrases, especially "disturbed area" must be clarified. The declaration that an area is disturbed should not be left to the subjective opinion of the Central or State Government. It should have an objective standard which is judicially reviewable. Moreover, the declaration that an area is disturbed should be for a specified amount of time, no longer than six months. Such a declaration should not persist without legislative review.

Lightweight long sleeved shirt for warm weatherVerified Buyer Reviewed by Old Appy Lady from Alabama on Thursday, June 16, 2016We ride horses & mules in the nearby National Forest in Alabama in all but the hottest most humid weather. We always wear long sleeves to protect our arms from scratches from trees and bushes and insects. These shirts are great for warm weather due to the light weight. Although they were a Father's Day gift, he has worn two of them already. The first one was great. After he had the second one on for awhile, he showed me one sleeve where the stitches missed the material. There is about a 1 1/2 inch gap in the seam. Now I have a sewing project. This one he wore to go out to eat, not even to ride. Other than the gap he loves the shirts.

"Hi there, I typically wear an XL or at time "XL slim fit" and like my shirts to be a bit long, but not boxy. How does this compare to that description? Thanks!"
this shirt is slightly fitted and true to size
Plenty long enough for my tall husband and accommodated his broad shoulders without seeming "boxy" through the torso.

We have been busy this month learning all about Thanksgiving, the 1st Thanksgiving, Pilgrims, etc. I would like to share some of the activities with all of my readers.
Pumpkin Pie counting and addition practice:
First create a "pumpkin pie" outline out of orange construction paper. Then print a number/ math problem in the center of the pie.
For your whipped topping I used an empty Cool Whip container that I cleaned out and filled with regular old cotton balls.
Now you're ready for some Pumpkin Pie mathematical fun!
Thanksgiving Tangram Fun:
Although both our son and daughter are well above this level of tangrams they always enjoy the holidays images and practice never hurts anyone!
Pumpkin Measuring:
We are still putting our Halloween pumpkins to good use! Prior to turning our pumpkins into pies, muffins, etc. I had each of the children use their blocks, scales, rulers and tape measures to see the differences in size and weight. We also used a bucket to find out whether pumpkins sink or float. Unfortunately I do not have any pictures of this activity since there was a huge splash zone going on and I really did not want my camera to get wet.
Stay tuned for Thanksgiving Activities Part 2. What Thanksgiving lessons and activities have you been up to this month

WINDSOR, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 21, 2012) - Members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) from area Locals are meeting tomorrow to put into action a campaign aimed at protecting workers' democratic rights to free collective bargaining. The evening's event is one of a series of about 20 regional meetings taking place across the province.
"Public service workers across Ontario are facing threats of new provincial legislation that attacks our democratic rights to collective bargaining, and impartial third-party arbitration," said CUPE Ontario President Fred Hahn. "These rights come from decades of hard work that have brought fairness and stability to labour relations in Ontario, they must be protected."
Bill 115, the Liberals' legislation that affects school board workers, and other proposed legislation strips long-standing rights from workers who collectively negotiate their contract with employers. It allows the government to dictate what a collective agreement must achieve and to change a negotiated agreement unilaterally. Proposed legislation also undermines the ability for workers to seek impartial third-party arbitration when collective bargaining hits a dead end.
The campaign is calling for the repeal of Bill 115 and an end to any further legislation proposed by the government and PC Leader Tim Hudak that undermines the rights of other public service workers.
"The Liberals are creating an unnecessary crisis by attacking our democratic rights," said Hahn. "The government's intrusion could destabilize public services people depend on. We will be discussing steps to be taken locally to help protect these services - and our members."

A successful week-long run of motorsports business activity concluded Saturday as the 2011 PRI Trade Show at the Orange County Convention in Orlando, Florida, came to a close.
"It was a very strong show, which we saw early barometers of with standing-room only at the breakfast on Thursday, and then with really strong numbers at our on-site registration," said Steve Lewis, PRI Trade Show producer. "We had three strong days that continued with people writing orders well into this afternoon. But more important than it being a good week for PRI, it was a really good week for the industry. What was going on in that building for the last three days will affect people at race tracks racing businesses around the world."
Approximately 38,000 credentials were printed up for the PRI Trade Show, said Lewis.
No less than six major events ran in conjunction with the show beginning on Monday. The Advanced Engineering Technology Conference (AETC), Claude Roelle's Optimum G Advanced Vehicle Dynamics Seminar, the Professional Motorsports Circuit Owners and Operators Convention, the International Council of Motorsport Sciences (ICMS) annual Congress, the PRI Industry Roundtable and the FAST EFI University training course on electronic fuel injection in racing applications all took place during this year's Race Industry Week.
Once again, this year's PRI Trade Show was buoyed by an exceptional international turn-out. Attendees from all over the world showed that racers have no boundaries or borders when it comes to reaching their one common goal – to go faster.
"The Show has been great for us. We love this show because it has a good international flair to it," said Ashley Garrett, of U.S. Legends Cars International. "Our growth overseas has been phenomenal for us and we can attribute most of that to the PRI Show. The international buyers don't buy four cars, they might buy 40 cars. In fact, we have a buyer here from Australia looking to buy 10 Bandoleros today."
The increase in exports abroad by American companies has been experienced by a number of PRI exhibitors.
"PRI is a great show," said Mark Kostrzewa, Motor State Distributing Product Manager. "Our customers vary from drag racing to circle track, not just domestically but world-wide and PRI really gives us exposure to an international clientele. We see a fair amount of our international customers here every year and that gives us the opportunity to have a face-to-face with them. I don't even know how to measure how important that is. That exposure is just immense. They appreciate that opportunity and it's what really builds a strong business relationship."
International companies also were on hand on Orlando to sell their latest racing products.
"This is the fourth time in the last five years we've been here," Ben Barlett, of the Australian AAAA. "We have 21 Australian companies exhibiting here and it has surpassed our expectations. We do shows all around the world, but no other motorsports shows here in the U.S. – just PRI."
Another PRI exhibitor may be bringing more to the U.S. in 2013 than racing products as the Brazilian Formula Truck Series was exhibiting one of the series' truck tractors on-site in preparation for its debut.
Preparation for the 2012 PRI Trade Show, which will take place Nov. 29-Dec. 1 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando officially began at 4:01 p.m. Saturday, right after the close of a very successful 2011 event.

Cross Stitch My Heart & Hope to DIY
Oh Say Cane You See: Oversized Cross Stitch American Flag
This, my friends, is an absolute first for me- truly a case of trash to treasure…or, as I like to say: "Junkernecking"!
There we were…just getting started on a Saturday road trip- the sun was rising, the dew was fresh, and we were in search of treasures and fun and adventure.
As we merged onto a blissfully open road, we spied a pile of rubble to the side of the on-ramp. Literally- right there in the curving shoulder next to I-385.Read more ›

I lived in Southern California for 15 years. Luckily I was not in Santa Monica during the Northridge Quake in 1994.
But a new friend of mine here in Sedona, Arizona was living very close to Northridge at the time. In fact, she told us on Tuesday that she moved shortly after the quake which demolished her home.
I was born and raised in Virginia. Then I moved to London. Earthquakes were a foreign concept to me.
So when I felt my first tremblor, a moderate early morning 5.0 quake, it did freak me out. If you've never felt one, it's hard to explain what it feels like when the ground you're standing on is moving. I was on edge for a few days thereafter. I also learned about aftershocks.
So when I heard today that California was preparing for the 'Big One' with an unprecedented drill, I took note.
5 million residents are participating in the 'mock earthquake' today – from school children to churches, hospitals, local and state government, businesses and residents.
When this kind of a big planned event is scheduled, I pay attention to the date.
Today is November 13, 2008. This gives us a 13/4 Day. 13 is a fateful number signifying transformation – releasing the past to make room for the future. In other words, a death of the old is necessary to birth something new.
The number 4 also represents grounding, architecture and order. 4 is very connected to the earth and all things physical. People with 4s are very earthy and many of them love feng shui and gardening, architecture and using their hands.
Amazingly today's whole date today adds up to 16/7. This is also a number of change. Sudden change.
Now, both these numbers. 13/4 and 16/7 are directly connected to Election Day which took place on a 4 Day and added up to a 16/7 date as well.
Keep in mind Barack Obama's new name 'President Obama' also adds up to a 7 – the 52/7. He is born on the 4th, was elected on the 4th and the U.S. celebrates a birthday on the 4th.
Other important connections to the number 16 exist as well. I posted a video about this on my blog on Monday – http://taniagabrielle.com/blog/
As you can imagine, when it comes to your name, I don't usually recommend it adds up to 13/4, unless the person is highly unusual, an out-of-the-box thinker, and thrives on originality. Then I let him or her know there'll be challenges that go along with this 'genius number.' Most people decide to stay away.
16/7 is never recommended as a name number. It indicates sudden shifts just like in earthquakes.
An easy way to learn about your name, and make sure it doesn't add up to a challenging number, is to get your 'Is My Name Fortunate' report.
Whether you live in California or not, a good name is always going to help and support you.
Warmest Regards,
Tania Gabrielle

Here's her tongue gifs. (Click on each one to play them)
If you like that feeling where you're simultaneously TURNED ON and GROSSED OUT, we've got the girl for you.
20-year-old Gerkary Bracho Blequett of Ocala, Florida might break the world record for longest tongue.
She says her tongue is 4.48 inches long. The current world record is 3.97 inches, so if the people at the "Guinness Book of World Records" can verify her length, she'll smash the record by half an inch.
And it sure SEEMS like her tongue is that long. She posted gifs online that show her touching her nose . . . touching her eye . . . touching her earlobe . . . and even licking her ELBOW, which is supposed to be impossible. Seriously, try it.
And by the way, Gerkary says she doesn't have a boyfriend . . . but don't try to hit on her by making a suggestive comment about her tongue.
Quote, "I don't like the fact that some men think because I'm posting long tongue pictures they can talk to me in a sexual way. It makes me uncomfortable and it's kind of nasty."

The sports apparel company Adidas apologized Tuesday after sending out a poorly worded marketing e-mail to its customers, just one day after the 121st Boston Marathon.
In the subject line of the e-mail from Adidas Running, it said, "Congrats, you survived the Boston Marathon!"
The message immediately led to backlash as customers reminded the company about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, when three people were killed and more than 260 others were injured.
At least two bombing survivors, Patrick Downes and Marc Fucarile, participated in this year's race.
"We are incredibly sorry," the company said in an e-mailed statement. "Clearly, there was no thought given to the insensitive e-mail subject line we sent Tuesday."
The company "deeply" apologized for what it said was a mistake.
"The Boston Marathon is one of the most inspirational sporting events in the world," the statement said. "Every year we're reminded of the hope and resiliency of the running community at this event."
Many people online were outraged, and screenshots of the e-mail's subject line were shared widely on social media.
"Adidas is going to have to fire whoever was in charge of writing this e-mail," one person wrote on Twitter.
Others expressed a similar sentiment.
"Adidas, you may want to rethink the subject line," wrote Mike Denison.
Within the body of the e-mail, Adidas told customers they were "Boston Strong" and urged them to "grab new gear" now that they've finished the race.

English, History, Geography, ICT A levels- good combo?(27 Posts)
My DS2 has chosen the following for his A level subjects. He's on track for B's in English, History and Geograpy and an A in ICT in his GCSEs. How does this combination sound,apart from the ICT are they too similar. He doesn't know what he wants to do after A levels.
You can never say is a good combo unless you know what he wants to do.
But to answer you Q, they are in no way similar - 3 humanities but that's a good base for many many many things. The first three are solid acceptable subjects for university ( if that's what he wants) or for demonstration to a future employer at he can apply him self in solid logical evidence based subjects.
ICT I know nothing about but if your DS likes it and if he keeps those other 3 subjects he's doing just fine.
Thank you for replying. I keep reading about choosing a broad range of A level subjects but these are the subjects he likes.
They sound like good solid subjects as long he likes essays.
Yes he does, or at least a bit more than Maths or Science type questions.
Three " facilitating".subjects, and the Ict, sounds fine. He could do lots in the arts and humanities worlds at HE or out. If he likes them, then do them. Unless there's a subject he's bound to do better in?
Unusual to do both history and geography. If he is likely to go down arts route then something like politics might be better than geography?
I did geography, biology and French a levels, def a wide range BUT uni choices were limited. For biology you needed chemistry. For languages you needed more than just French. So I did geography which was fine, BUT if I had known/been advised better I would have chosen differently.
I'm not sure if swapping Geography for a non facilitating subject is better just in case he drops History or English after AS level and is left with just one facilitating subject. It's tricky as he really has no clue what he wants to do. He isn't 16 until the very end of August as is quite young for his age.
Tess, what do you think you would have picked if you could go back in time?
If those are the subjects he enjoys do them.
It's all very well picking other subjects that may open up more doors for him but if he gets poor grades due to lack of interest those doors will quickly shut!
So I'd say go with these subjects
ICT is always a winner nowadays, English always has been. Even though geography and history are similar they compliment eachother.
Best to go with interesting subjects your son enjoys so he has more chance of getting good grades the grades are essential regardless of subject
It is tricky OP isn't it?
choosing a broad range of A level subjects this is all very well but they have to like, and be reasonably good at, what they are choosing.
I have persuaded DS that if he did not choose Chemistry that would close the door to Genetics / Biomedical sciences which is one area he has shown an interest in.( Along with law, politics, and economics).
Well I loved geography and biology. I shouldn't have done French, you are up against people who speak French at home, or have lots of chances to speak French or who have another Latin language as first language so very hard to compete.
I would have done chemistry if I had my time again, biology on it's own isn't much use going forward, and/or maths.
I do agree though do what he enjoys and is best at, getting good grades is the first priority.
Yes I agree about doing the ones you will enjoy. When the DC were younger it was easy talking to other mums about school stuff as i used to see them on the school run. Now i dont really see them anymore or if i do i found people can be a more cagey discussing choices etc so thank you.
My DS did IT ,geography and English at A level , he is at uni doing IT and is starting his teacher training ( to be an IT teacher) in September . He is very into English literature though and reads widely which has seemed to impress at the interviews for teacher training that he has been to . My only question would be are there other subjects that he will get an A or A* for at GCSE as they may be a better choice .
I took English, history, geography back in the year dot - seemed fine then for humanities degrees or social science or law. All good academic subjects.
Sounds a lot like me actually. I preferred essays over maths and science.
I did geography, English language, psychology and history (dropped history for A2).
I always wished I had done GCSE I.T. but the job I'm in now I would never have imagined myself doing (it involves maths!). So, in hindsight I would have done maths like my teacher at the time was pushing me to do. I think I would have struggled though and in terms of getting in at uni you're best to go with the subjects you're likely to get high grades for.
Floralnomad, he isn't on track for any A*s. His humanity subjects are on track for good Bs and Maths and Sciences C to Bs. He's doing double science and got a B in last years GCSE .I dont thinka Science subject would be a good choice for him as he would be up against triple science grade A pupils. He is not that keen on French.
Can I ask the posters who picked similar subject what jobs they do now and if they went to university what they studied?
I studied Law but now work in legal field in information management.
Will he not be up against A* pupils in humanities? Bs could make getting a good A level grade more of a challenge. It would be good to start considering what he might do post 18 though. All the people I know who did History, English and Geography ended up doing one of those 3 at university. English and History are, of course, very difficult to get on. Geography a bit less so. Several Geographers became Town Planners and teachers , the Historians went into the civil service and the English people went into teaching, retrained for Occupational Therapy and joined retail training schemes. In other words, your DS could do a variety of things but you need to be realistic about his likely A level grades which may not be good enough for History or English. Many recruiters like to see numeracy rather than IT skills. Everyone has that these days and can easily be picked up by company specific training.
Tess73. I would not put anyone off doing languages just because they do not speak the language at home or go abroad to practice it. If you have a talent, it is perfectly possible to compete. You just have to work a bit harder without home coaching!
Yes he will up against A* pupils in humanities but at least he's done the same gcse course as them, unlike science. He isn't an A* pupil but wants to do A levels. I'm not expecting him to get As and Bs at A levels but you can get on university courses with Cs and Ds. I could imagine my DS being a teacher or a social worker but at the moment he can't think that far ahead.
Hi OP, I think he should do whatever subjects he enjoys. I always think if you do something that you enjoy you can't go far wrong. He is also more likely to do well if he's actually enjoying the subject.
I don't imagine it particularly matters if he hasn't got A*s for his GCSEs in the subjects he wants to do, even if the rest of his class has?
I am doing Geography at uni after taking it for Alevel and its a respected subject. It's very diverse so, as you probably know, you can do a huge amount with it post uni. I'm planning to become a surveyor.
Friends with History, Geography and English alevels and degrees are doing a huge variety of degrees and jobs - police force, teaching, military, journalism, law, medicine, consultancy, investment banking etc etc.
Although I've alreAdy given my two pennorth on this, I thought I'd add a dissenting voice to the idea of doing a broad range of subjects - the scatter gun approach of one science, one humanity, maybe a language and a non facilitating subject - will be no help for anything. The range of subjects approach doesn't suggest strength for a degree subject - and if he does want to do a degree with C grade A2 s then he will need to have an appropriate range of subjects which demonstrate a good interest in the subject ( so if he chooses politics, say, history and geography would be good choices, English always a good choice).
Your DS's choices are good and complementary and would lead to some subject options he hasn't thought of, not just geography! Politics, international studies, American studies, sociology all come to mind. Subjects that haven't occurred to him yet as he hasn't started looking .
And mermi - you really have friends without science A levels doing medicine? Really? Where is that then?
Glad to see you are realistic about his possible A Level grades. You have no idea how many pupils I get entering English A level with a B at GCSE and assuming that will translate to a B/A at A Level. D/C is more likely.
I'd get him to have a look at some of subjects that (may not) have been available to him at GCSE level but are usually an option at A level - eg psychology, sociology, law etc.
Something like psychology might be a better option than geography as it demonstrates that you can handle data and research but he might enjoy it a lot more than the traditional sciences. Psychology graduates are usually some of the most employable because they have a skillset which crosses many of the science and humanities divides.
The only thing to watch for on psychology, sugar is the level of maths needed. The content of the A level varies by board but there is a lot of data interpretation in some boards which may not suit the OP's DS.

U.S. Citizens and Permanent Resident Aliens
To qualify as a New York State resident, you must have established legal residence by maintaining a domicile in New York State for a period of at least one year preceding the date of the semester. A domicile is defined as a fixed permanent home to which you intend to return after being absent for a period of time. A person does not acquire a New York State domicile simply by being physically present in New York for a period of twelve months. A person retains a domicile until their present domicile is abandoned and another domicile is established.
If you currently reside in New York City (any of the five Boroughs)
New York City residents (any of the five Boroughs) who have met the New York State residency requirement by maintaining a domicile in New York State for a period of at least one year preceding the date of registration must sign the residency affidavit printed on the registration form at the time of admission to the college.
If you currently reside in New York State, outside of New York City
New York State Law requires that New York State residents who do not reside in New York City (any of the five Boroughs) must file a County Certificate of Residency certified by their home county to qualify for the in-state tuition rate. The certificate is issued by the student's County Administrative or Treasurer's Office, not by FIT.
New York State (non-NYC) residents are billed the equivalent of the out-of-state tuition rate. Students will receive a credit for the difference in tuition rates once a completed Certificate / Affidavit from the student's home county has been submitted to the Bursar's Office.
County Certificate Of Residence Info And Affidavit Application
If you want to establish New York State residency
Completed applications with supporting documents must be submitted prior to the end of the registration period for the semester for which the application is intended.
NYS Residency Info And Application
Non-Immigrant Aliens
International students with F-1 Student Visas are not eligible for the in-state tuition rate.
Students with other types of Visas may be eligible if they have been residents of New York State (as discussed above) for one year prior to the date of registration. The student must have possessed the qualifying visa for at least one year prior to the date of registration.

The user is running iOS 5.1.1 on an iPhone 4S. I've a couple of questions:
1) What might be causing this?
2) What kind of fallback code should I be putting in place if this happens?
Thanks in advance.
- earltedly asked 6 years ago
FMOD initialization is generally pretty stable, if you are able to link with our logging version you will get much more details about what is going on. We had some troubles a while back with certain devices reporting init errors because the internal audio state was in flux. Generally closing the FMOD system and try again was sufficient to recover. If you are able to pin down a repro case for the problem I'd be happy to try it out here in the debugger.
- Mathew Block answered 6 years ago
Thanks for the reply.
It sounds like if the first initialisation fails I need to wait a second or two and try again. I'll put some code in to see if it gets rid of the crashes.
They are very infrequent, so it's unlucky I could get a test case for you.

Affording RetirementMay 18, 2011 | Filed Under Finance, Investment, Retirement Savings | Comments Off
Are you among the 40% of working Americans that feel you will never be able
to afford to retire? A Harris Interactive survey of 1005 American workers,
reported figures to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,
that reveal the pessimistic outlook many Americans have regarding their
future days in the sun. The study also showed that 55% of workers don't
know how much they'll need to retire. Those who have some figure in mind,
are likely to underestimate how much they'll need in savings.
The current state of the economy has left a hefty 56% of Americans who say
they can't afford to save, and almost a third who feel they are financially
worse off now then they were a year ago.
"These statistics suggest we are on the verge of a retirement crisis in
America," said Jordin Amin, chairman of the National CPA Financial Literacy
Commission(AICPA). "Americans don't know how to prepare for their twilight
years, and many have put off figuring it out because they're struggling to
make ends meet now." Concerns over rising gas and food prices have 60% of
Americans interviewed by the AICPA Commission making adjustments to their
financial planning. Worries over retirement however, are still looming over
90% of those interviewed, outranking concerns over uninsured medical
expenses, gas prices, and expanding educational costs.
The American Institute of CPA's is trying help Americans gain financial
health through free educational programs and tools, and a task force of
volunteer CPA's.
Despite the cloudy outlook, it is encouraging to find that nearly 60% of the
survey participants see savings as part of their lifestyle, regardless of
their current means to provide for it.
"Here's the best advice I can give for retirement planning: Start!", Amin
said, "Set aside a $1 a day for an IRA, or $100 a quarter for a 401(k).
Small change adds up."
In addition, the Commission offers these tips in establishing a financial retirement
- Track your expenses for three to six months. Then think about how those expense might change in your retirement years.
- Create a concrete plan, determining how much you'll need to save.
- Develop a transition plan. Many Americans reaching age 65, discover that their working years still lie ahead. Consider doing part-time or consulting work to supplement your savings in order to transition into full retirement.

Everyone has the right to health protection and care. The state guarantees this right by providing free medical and hospital care. Cuba has been highly regarded for its medical care and physician expertise. Following the 1959 Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro and his newly established government made universal health care a top priority. Every Cuban is expected to make a visit to a general practitioner every year to examine the patients lifestyle and review health conditions. Other services included community fitness programs for the elderly, localized polyclinics with other minor surgeries at a lower operation cost than major hospitals. Cuba has also the lowest rates of HIV/AIDS due to it's state of the art awareness programs.
Cuba is actually ranked 40th in the world in Health Care; the USA is ranked 38th.
Switzerland is ranked #1
"8 places that do health care better than the US"
Hong Kong
It is sad that America does not have Universal Health Care.
My wife is from Winnipeg, MB, Canada, and Universal Health Care works great. America should have it yesterday.
But, the greedy wealthy insurance men and the Plutocracy don't want what is best for America.
We need a revolution to get what are our just rights.
No, Cuba does not have the best healthcare system, because they do not live as long in Cuba as they currently do in the United States. A country can make sure that its people do not spend as much money on health care, by simply denying them health care. Then they will die at a younger age, but they won't have spent on healthcare.

Arts Minister visits St Mel's
"We were here when this lovely building burnt to the ground. This is a mini-miracle and the Minister coming is the icing on the cake."
Those were the words of Donall Mac An Bheatha, Senior Planner with Longford County Council, as he, and a group of others involved in the St Mel's Cathedral restoration, welcomed Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Jimmy Deenihan TD to the iconic building last Friday.
While there, Minister Deenihan received a tour of the Cathedral, where he saw the incredible work that has been carried out. So far, the restoration is on track to open on Christmas Eve. The barrell vault ceiling is complete, with most of it lime-washed. Some of the beautiful new Stations of the Cross are also in place and even the seats have been chosen.
The biggest restoration of a Cathedral in Ireland, Chairperson of the Restoration Project Committee, Cllr Seamus Butler admitted that it has been a 'labour of love'.
"Coming to this stage, all of us in the committee are so enthused," he continued.
Adding that it will still be recognisable as St Mel's Cathedral, Cllr Butler stated, "We used the opportunity to make the improvements that would probably never be done."
With just six months until RTÉ broadcast Mass live from the Cathedral on Christmas Eve, the County Councillor said that all involved have set themselves a 'difficult task'. With a lot of work done, but more to do, he concluded, "We put down that we wanted a functioning Cathedral for the fifth anniversary of the fire and we're on track to do that."
Offering his thanks to the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht for the grant they awarded to the project, Fr Tom Healy admitted that the deadline was "exciting and terrifying in equal measures".
"It's really exciting to be this far but I know there's a really busy 6-8 months ahead," Fr Healy continued, extending thanks to all who have supported the project.
Highly impressed with what he saw, Minister Deenihan stated, "First of all it's an extraordinary achievement to have a full restoration project carried out in such a short space of time."
Commending the committees involved, the Church, the insurance company and his own Department for creating 'something very special', the Minister likened the fire at the Cathedral to 'the loss of a family member' for the people of Longford, adding; "What was a major disaster for the people of Longford will now turn into something very, very positive."
