PARIS — After decades of rejecting ties between its nuclear weapons tests and health problems among personnel carrying them out, France said Tuesday that it would "be true to its conscience" and pay compensation to those suffering illnesses linked to radiation.
Defense Minister Hervé Morin told the newspaper Le Figaro that France had believed for a long time that "opening the door to compensation would pose a threat to the very significant efforts made by France to have a credible nuclear deterrent."
Between 1960 and 1996, France carried out more than 200 nuclear tests, first in Algeria, then in French Polynesia in the Pacific Ocean. Up to 150,000 civilians and members of the military who worked on the testing program had been "theoretically" affected, Mr. Morin said.
However, the scale of compensation may be limited. Mr. Morin said the government had set aside about $13.5 million to pay claims adjudicated by a panel of physicians and a magistrate.
Since 1990, the United States has paid compensation to people who suffered health problems as a result of exposure to fallout from nuclear weapons development and testing. According to the Department of Justice, as of March, nearly $1.4 billion had been paid to 20,761 victims and their families in states including Nevada, Utah and Arizona. More than half of the payments have gone to "down winders" who were exposed to radiation through bomb tests. Others who have received payments include workers who took part in above-ground tests, uranium miners and ore transporters.Continue reading the main story
In Britain, about 1,000 former armed services members and their families have been fighting the government for compensation related to skin defects, cancer and other conditions they say was incurred as a result of exposure to fallout from nuclear tests in the South Pacific. The Ministry of Defense has mostly resisted, saying the service members failed to make their claims within the proper window of time.
For decades, France was at pains to establish its independence from the United States and other NATO countries as a nuclear force, developing what is called a force de frappe — a strike force — of nuclear weapons and announcing in 1966 that it was withdrawing from NATO's integrated military command.
This month President Nicolas Sarkozy announced that France intended to return to full membership in NATO, 43 years after Charles de Gaulle ordered NATO and American forces out of the country.
Since the end of the cold war, France has aimed to halve its nuclear arsenal to around 300, but it has kept the scale of its nuclear capacity secret. Last year, the Federation of American Scientists, which tracks nuclear arsenals, said France had 348 warheads — 288 on submarines, 50 on air-launched cruise missiles and 10 on bombers.
France went to extremes to protect its nuclear testing secrecy. In 1985, France sent undercover agents to New Zealand to sink the Rainbow Warrior, a vessel from the Greenpeace environmental group, to prevent it from disrupting nuclear tests.
Mr. Morin said the French authorities had now agreed to publish archives explaining how nuclear tests were conducted. The moves followed many court cases in which testing personnel and residents living near nuclear test sites complained of diseases like leukemia and other cancers.
Last February, 12 former soldiers suffering from serious illnesses took their claims for compensation to an appeals court in Paris to try to force the government to recognize a link with the tests, Reuters reported.
After the years of stonewalling on the health risks associated with nuclear testing, Mr. Morin said, "it is time for France to be true to its conscience."Continue reading the main story

The Pennsylvania Caregiver Support Program provides primary caregivers with a break from caregiving (respite care), reimbursement for out-of-pocket costs associated with caregiving-related services and supplies, education, training, counseling, and more. The program aims to alleviate the stresses associated with caregiving by focusing on the well-being of the caregiver.
The program is administered by your local Area Agency on Aging. Each caregiver is assigned a care manager who will come to the care receivers' home, conduct a comprehensive assessment of the needs of the caregiver, provide support, and work with them to develop a person-centered plan of care.
Both the caregiver and care receiver must be a resident of Pennsylvania and must participate in a needs assessment conducted by their local Area Agency on Aging. The caregiver must be an adult who is primarily responsible for providing care on a regular basis, and meet one of the following eligibility categories:
A dependent child under age 18
An individual age 18-59 with a disability (cannot be dementia related)
There is no financial eligibility requirement for the Caregiver Support Program. However, the amount of reimbursement is based on the income and household size of the care receiver. The percentage of reimbursement is determined using a sliding scale based on the current Federal Poverty Level (FPL) guidelines and covers care receiver incomes up to 380% of the FPL. Those whose income is 200% or below the FPL receive 100% reimbursement. Those whose income is just under 380% of the FPL receive 10% reimbursement. Those whose income falls between 200% and 380% receive a percentage within that range. Those whose income is over 380% of the FPL receive no financial reimbursement, but can utilize other support services through the program.
Individuals are not eligible for the Caregiver Support Program if:

ALBANY, N.Y. - After earning its third consecutive weekend sweep, Quinnipiac headlines this week's ECAC Hockey honor roll with two players selected. Dartmouth has also been recognized, with Adrian Clark being named Goalie of the Week.
Chase Priskie is the second straight Bobcat to earn Player of the Week after teammate Odeen Tufto earned the league honor a week ago. Priskie led the team and the league with three goals scored, helping Quinnipiac to a sweep of No. 19 Princeton in the home-and-home series. He scored the eventual game-winning goals in both games, and also led the defensive charge on Friday night, spearheading a defensive unit that held the Tigers scoreless for the first time this season.
Michael Lombardi extended his point streak to four consecutive games this weekend, scoring a goal and adding an assist to help Quinnipiac to its fifth and sixth straight wins. The Barrington, R.I. native dished out an assist in Friday's 3-0 win before tallying one of the Bobcats six goals on Saturday.
Clark helped the Big Green pick up three key league points this weekend, going 1-0-1 including a big win over No. 16 Cornell. He faced 61 shots in his two starts, allowing just four goals for a .934 save percentage. The Big Green are now in a tie for second in the league standings with Yale.

text: 2018 Corporate Pension Funding Study Print Connect Email Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google+ By Zorast Wadia, Alan H. Perry, Charles J. Clark | 18 April 2018 During 2017, the private single-employer defined benefit plans of the Milliman 100 companies made significant funding improvements. The Milliman 100 funded ratio settled at 86.0%, an improvement from the year-end 2016 funded ratio of 81.1%. The funding deficit dropped by a noteworthy $75 billion, ending the year at $252 billion. Corporate plan sponsors made the strategic decision in fiscal year 2017 to contribute $62 billion to their plans, pushing 2017's total assets to a record $1.55 trillion. This year's contributions represent a 45.0% increase from the $42.6 billion contributed in 2016, and are tied with 2012 for the highest amount contributed to the Milliman 100. Soaring global equity markets contributed to very strong investment returns in 2017 with the average plan earning about 12.7%. The discount rate declined during 2017 to end the year at 3.60%, down 37 basis points from the 3.97% rate a year earlier. As a result, the projected benefit obligation of the Milliman 100 plans increased to an all-time high of $1.80 trillion (an $82 billion increase since the end of 2016).

A Loving Scoundrel
A Malory Novel
- 8,99 €
- 8,99 €
Descrição da editora
#1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsey sweeps readers into the privileged world of English aristocrats as she presents a new novel of passion, intrigue, and romantic pleasures featuring the incomparable Malorys -- a family of dashing rogues, rakehell adventurers, and spirited ladies. Now Jeremy, the son of gentleman pirate James Malory, falls in love....
When Danny, a young woman who grew up on the streets of London with no memory of her real family, is banished from her gang because she helped handsome rakehell Jeremy Malory steal back the jewels his friend lost in a card game, Danny demands that Jeremy give her a job. She is determined to become respectable in order to fulfill her dream of marrying and starting a family. Intrigued by her beauty and spunk, Jeremy hires Danny as his upstairs maid, although he wants her as his mistress.
Under the tutelage of Jeremy and his cousin Regina, Danny blossoms into a lady. Although she is drawn to Jeremy by passionate feelings she has never experienced before, she refuses to be anything more than a servant to him because she knows he is not the marrying kind. When Danny undergoes a Cinderella-like transformation and poses as Jeremy's new love in an attempt to help him avert a scandal, a few highly placed members of the ton remark on how familiar Danny looks. Now tongues are wagging, raising the question of her true identity, which threatens not only Danny's chances of capturing Jeremy's heart but her very life.
With the humor, lovable characters, and romantic intensity that have placed Johanna Lindsey's six previous Malory novels in the ranks of the best-loved and most widely read romantic novels of our time, Johanna Lindsey delights readers with an emotionally powerful tale of an irresistible scoundrel who meets his match in a brave, strong-minded young woman and can't help but fall in love.
Lindsey's formula for bestselling historical romance features modern-thinking heroes and heroines in old-fashioned clothing, who meet in scenes reminiscent of favorite classics and who then jump into bed with an enthusiasm that would make the authors of said classics blush. Her latest Regency picks up the Malory series (Gentle Rogue, etc.) after a long hiatus, to focus on Jeremy Malory. Raised a pirate but now enjoying the Malory fortune, socially prominent but streetwise Jeremy meets his match in Danny, a beautiful orphan with no memory of her past, who lives dressed as a boy with a group of London pickpockets. After catching her trying to rob him in a sketchy tavern, he promises to release her only after she breaks into the country home of a dastardly nobleman who cheated Jeremy's friend out of precious family heirlooms. Jeremy goes along for the ride, and when they're caught in the act, it takes Danny's quick wit and Jeremy's steady nerve to escape. Oliver Twist becomes Pygmalion as Danny becomes a maid in Jeremy's household and later tries to pass as a highborn lady to help her master escape the clutches of a scheming heiress. Of course, Danny has more in common with highborn ladies than she realizes, and the reader knows that eventually Danny will learn who she is and uncover the evildoer who stole her birthright. The fun of this costume drama, after all, is not in guessing what happens next but in knowing what will and savoring the anticipation. Lindsey brings nothing new to the mix, but she stirs it up with so much energy and spirit that it's hard not to find it delicious.

Happy Holidays & Bead Merry!
Fall & Winter are a couple of Blue Door Beads' favorite seasons. Not only is the weather crisp enough for us to break out our chunky sweaters & scarves, but new customers are coming into the shop, excited to get started making their holiday gifts!
Of course, we're always happy to help anyone who would like assistance in making jewelry, but we especially enjoy the enthusiasm that newbies bring to the shop. They come in with a mix of emotions — glee, anxiety, excitement — and we explain that it's all part of starting out on a beading adventure when you've never done it before! We show them all of the beginner-friendly projects and kits we have, make sure that they've given themselves enough time to get lost in the creative process — and before they know it, they've dived deep into the world of beads, and their lives have been changed forever! (We assure them that this isn't a bad thing. :-))
Very often, people who are new to the shop this time of your are actually not jewelry-makers themselves, but are rather shopping for gifts for the beader(s) in their life. We have lots of goodies for them, too: pre-made chainmail kits, snowflake forms for making holiday decorations (a great stocking-stuffer!) and tool kits for every level of beader, no matter what kind of jewelry they enjoy making.
Check out the holiday gift ideas below, and then swing by the shop soon to get everything you need for a very sparkly holiday season! Bead Merry!
Turning Jewelry-Making Inside Out
It should come as no surprise that customers of all ages have recently come into the shop singing the praises of Pixar's latest movie, Inside Out. Although the staff here at Blue Door Beads hasn't seen the movie yet, from what we have heard, the film contains some good messages for kids — as well as adults — regarding feelings. One customer decided to use her young daughter's current infatuation with the themes & characters of the movie as a teaching moment:
Mom approached us in the shop and asked us which stringing material we would recommend for what she hoped would be an ongoing project for her daughter. When we asked her what she meant by "ongoing," she said she hoped that her daughter would be able to string beads into a bracelet, but then also be able to continue to add beads over time. We recommended she start with an extra-long piece of colorful linen, so that her daughter could wrap the bracelet around her wrist several times. She could start with just a few beads now, but eventually fill up the entire bracelet if she wanted.
We asked what the significance was for her daughter to be able to add beads over time, and Mom explained:
"In the movie Inside Out, the main character has a range of different feelings about how things are going in her life. Sometimes she's happy, sometimes she's sad, sometimes she's angry…..and sometimes she has those feelings all in the same day.
When my daughter came home from school yesterday, I asked her how her day was. 'My whole day was BAD!', she said. When I asked her, 'Your whole day? Are you sure?' she replied, 'Yes! When so-and-so was mean to me today, it made me so angry!' I gently told her, 'Well, sweetheart, that was only one part of your day. Let's talk about the other parts, too, and discuss your feelings from throughout the day.'
My goal is, when she comes home from school, to have her sit with her project while we talk about her day. Each time she describes an emotion she had, she'll add the emotion's corresponding color to her bracelet. [In the movie, joy is yellow, sadness is blue, disgust is green, fear is purple, and anger is red.] I would like her to see that it's OK to have a wide range of feelings, and she can then do something constructive with those feelings, and together they can create something beautiful."
We congratulated Mom on her incredibly thoughtful and original project idea, and we asked her to please come back to the shop with her daughter so we can see how her bracelet progresses. After they left, we discussed how refreshing and heartwarming it was to see a parent truly engaging with her child, wanting to support her in a creative endeavor while also teaching her some life skills, and genuinely enjoying spending time with her.
In today's world, adults and kids are prone to being constantly connected to their favorite electronic device. We invite anyone and everyone to come to the shop, disconnect from the outside world (even for just an hour!) and create something at our work table. It's fun, it's easier than you think, and no matter how you were feeling earlier in the day, we're pretty sure you'll take home some feelings of happiness after you've spent time creating at Blue Door Beads!
The Talented Artists of our Second Annual Jewelry Collective
We wanted to give you a taste of the amazing creations that will be featured in our Second Annual Jewelry Collective, which begins Thursday, December 18th, 2014 from 6pm-9pm during the Piedmont Avenue Stroll and will continue through Monday, December 22nd!
Local artists, many of whom are Blue Door Beads customers, will be featuring their work for sale throughout the five-day span, and will be available for schmoozing during The Piedmont Avenue Stroll happening Thursday, December 18th, from 6pm-9pm. They will be presenting a wide range of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings made of gemstones, crystals, glass, and more. Although the 18th will be the night to meet the artists, their work will be at the shop for sale through the 22nd. Enjoy a selection of handcrafted artisan jewelry that you will find nowhere else around, and finish up your holiday gift shopping!
We are so excited to be featuring such incredibly gorgeous jewelry by so many talented artists!

Hello to you. I was planning to get something written yesterday, but I'm afraid the whole day ended up being a chain of train journeys dashing around to and from and across London.
First up, had a big early meet in guildford with a publishing partner who's (all being well) working with us on a couple of big projects for the festival this year.
We're having very different kinds of meetings about the festival this year compared to the past.
There's this odd irony that as the whole show grows in stature, at the same time as we open it all out for more people to participate in with the opengamecity work, the central industry partnerships start to operate at a slightly different level. Things that used to be relatively simple for a single individual to ok, now become decisions across global brand management teams. Effectively, a team in Los Angeles dictates what can appear on a bus shelter ad in nottingham. It's a process that's as fascinating and complex as it is opaque and frustrating, but it's increasingly a part of the day to day work at this stage of the year.
So, dashing back from guildford, i met up with James Newman from the National Videogame Archive and Martin hollis in soho, where we all learnt what a 'stumpy' was, before meeting up with Chloe, Chris, Arianna and Keita for an interview. This was K's last day in Nottingham after a month with us working on the playground, and he's looking happy, tired and easy to go home. We sat down to do a quick series of interviews for Xbox live, which (I'm told) will be going out on the Xbox dashboard sometime in the next few weeks. Largely, they were asking about the festival, future plans, the playground and the embassy event we were en route to that evening. K did his best, but tends to tire of being asked about his influences and i fear i may have indiscreetly announced some new ideas waaaaay before might be considered appropriate. Anyway…
25 mins later we're striding down Piccadilly en route to the Japanese embassy for an event we're running about the playground project, and the broad value of play. Embassy security is amazing. The first part, photo ID's checked, bags scanned is much like any airport, but it's following that that it gets really interesting. We have to be escorted inside by embassy staff, and taken in small groups into an airlock, before being released into an antechamber with lockers where we securely store our phones, laptops, any kind of photographic or recording equipment. The event kicks off promptly at 6.30 and seems to largely go well. Keita is charming as ever, and he and I are both tasteful, but very direction making appeals for financial support for the playground. It's a capacity crowd, around 200 i think, and a real mix of people. Games events are always very difficult to judge audiences at. For everyone nerd who was up all night playing WoW there's another person who doesn't know what a playstation is, but this is a very warm and engaged crowd. The no-slides experiment works largely ok, but it does take a while to get into it. We finish at about 7.45 for a reception and spend an hour chatting about the event, the festival, the archive and the playground with attendees. The embassy guys seem really pleased with the show, and we finally tip out onto Piccadilly at 9 and go off in search of food and drink. 2 hours of ropey Malaysian food later and I'm having to make my apologies and turn in. K appears to be having a brilliant time so we end up having a brief debrief in the restaurant before I head back to the hotel.
So… It's now 8.16 and I'm on the train to Brighton, heading down for the develop conference. This was great fun last year, but this time I'm sadly only down for today and overnight. A few festival meetings and sessions to host before tearing back up Nottingham for a midday thing tomorrow.
Oooop, we're pulling in to Brighton. Hope you have a good day, talk later…

GREENSBORO, N.C. — According to the National Retail Federation, 68 million people will be surfing the web for the best deals and steals on Cyber Monday.
But, before you "click" on a gotta-have-it item, you might want to consider making safety a top priority.
According to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), thousands of people become victims of holiday scams every year.
For that reason and more, federal authorities are warning online shoppers to always be wary of deals that seem too good to be true.
According to the FBI, the two most prevalent holiday scams are non-delivery and non-payment crimes.
RELATED: Holiday shopping: Know these return policies before you buy
In a non-delivery scam, a buyer pays for goods or services they find online, but those items are never received.
A non-payment scam involves goods or services being shipped, but the seller is never paid.
In 2018, the IC3 estimates that non-delivery and non-payment scams together affected more than 65,000 victims, causing almost $184 million in losses.
Federal authorities also want shoppers to be on the lookout for other similar scams over the holiday season, including auction and gift card fraud.
Auction fraud is described as "someone misrepresenting a product on an auction site.
Gift card fraud is described as "a seller asking you to pay with a pre-paid card."
The IC3 receives a large volume of complaints in the early months of the year, suggesting a correlation with the previous holiday season's shopping scams.
The FBI offers the following online shopping safety tips to help you look out for scammers during the holiday season or any other time of year:
- Always be wary of deals that seem too good to be true.
- Always get a tracking number for items purchased online so you can make sure they have been shipped and can follow the delivery process.
- Be wary of sellers who post an auction or advertisement as if they reside in the U.S., then respond to questions by stating they are out of the country on business, family emergency, or similar reasons.
- Avoid sellers who post an auction or advertisement under one name but ask that payment be sent to someone else.
- Consider canceling your purchase if a seller requests funds be wired directly to them via a money transfer company, pre-paid card, or bank-to-bank wire transfer. Money sent in these ways is virtually impossible to recover, with no recourse for the victim. Always remember that anyone who asks you to use one of these forms of payment might be a scammer. A credit card is generally the safest way to pay for an online purchase.
- Avoid sellers who act as authorized dealers or factory representatives of popular items in countries where there would be no such dealers.
- Verify the legitimacy of a buyer or seller before moving forward with a purchase. If you're using an online marketplace or auction website, check their feedback rating. Be wary of buyers and sellers with mostly unfavorable feedback ratings or no ratings at all.
- Avoid buyers who request their purchase be shipped using a certain method to avoid customs or taxes inside another country.
- Be suspect of any credit card purchases where the address of the cardholder does not match the shipping address. Always receive the cardholder's authorization before shipping any products.
- Always be wary of deals that seem too good to be true.
If you do become the victim of a holiday scam, contact your bank immediately. You should also inform your local law enforcement agency, and file a complaint with the IC3.

CHICAGO -- All-Star swingman Jimmy Butler knows he will be the subject of trade rumors yet again this summer, but he repeated his desire to stay with the Bulls for the long term after Friday's series-ending loss to the Boston Celtics.
In the process, Butler also acknowledged that he would like for Rajon Rondo's team option to be picked up this summer.
"Of course," Butler said. "He's been huge for us this year, man."
Molding these young guys into the type of player that they need to be on this basketball floor, in that film room, around everybody. And obviously, the way he plays the game, getting everybody involved, yeah I love playing with him. Him and D-Wade, all these other guys. But I don't know what the future holds for anybody. So I'll sit back and wait on that time to come."
Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg echoed similar sentiments regarding Rondo.
"Obviously we played great basketball with Rajon toward the end of the season," Hoiberg said. "With the exception of the New York game, that's the game he tore the ligament in the wrist. ... He was terrific.
"He was great. The highs and lows that we had this season, he found a way to continue to battle through that and play his best basketball when it mattered most. I love Rondo. I love coaching him. I love everything about the kid. He was so good to have out there on the floor. And when we put him back in the starting lineup with Niko [Mirotic], with Jimmy, we got a lot accomplished. We played an exciting style of basketball. A fun style of basketball to watch, a fun style of basketball to coach. And Rajon was responsible for a lot of that."
Dwyane Wade has a player option worth almost $24 million for next season. He has said in the past that he "would be a liar to say that I want to play on a team with all 21-year-olds," and acknowledged that he wants to wait to see if the Bulls move Butler before making a decisions, but many in the Bulls' organization believe that Wade will pick his option this summer because of the fact it's highly unlikely that he will have another offer for next season worth that much money.
For his part, Wade did not want to get into specifics regarding his decision after the game.
"I have a lot of time," Wade said. "I'm far away from that now; just got through this, 14th NBA season. It's, for me, identified with championships. If I'm not winning a championship I'm never satisfied from that standpoint, but you take things out of it, you go back and look at the season and see what you could have done better individually. You put that [in the head] and go from there, so that's what I will look at. I am not worried about my future because I know it's basketball; I'm not really concerned with it now."
Another intriguing twist Friday night came late in the fourth quarter when fans started to scream "Fire Hoiberg" throughout the United Center. While it's clear that many fans would rather not see Hoiberg back with the Bulls next season, Bulls general manager Gar Forman has been on record earlier in the year as saying Hoiberg would be back to start next season.
One of the reasons, Forman gave that declaration is because of the fact that Hoiberg still has three years, and almost $15 million left on his contract.
"Sure, I understand the frustration [from fans]," Hoiberg said. "It was a frustrating game there was no doubt about that, to go out this way. Again, the high note to start this series, the way we got out to a 2-0 lead, we couldn't finish it off. I thought we fought and battled, especially in Game 5 in Boston. We didn't have it tonight so I do understand."
As for Mirotic, he will be a restricted free agent this summer, but he is hopeful he'll be able to return to the Bulls next season.
"I'm going to wait till July," Mirotic said. "But I can tell you my first option is Chicago."
Jimmy Butler wants to return, hopes Bulls keep Rajon Rondo

I walked Molly down to the beach tonight as she insists on every night that it is not raining. In the dark sky the stars twinkled and I pondered the events of the past few days. The roar of the surf and the phosphorescent waves breaking on the white sands of the beach are comforting and the fact that the dog likes the walk and is funny to watch makes it most enjoyable and relaxing experiences outside of baseball that I know. I am able to do a lot of thinking, and even some praying in the stillness of these night walks. Last night was all about the tapestry of military life and relationships.
Despite its size the US Military is quite small in relationship to the rest of the population. Military life is unpredictable and the relationships that we have with each other are very interconnected in ways that are seldom duplicated in the civilian world. That is especially true of those that serve together overseas, in combat zones or deployed on ships for long periods of time.
Our lives become bound together and even though our service together may be measured in but a few years or in some cases months, the ongoing friendship and relationships go on the rest of our lives. I have seen that growing up as my parents Navy friends and the tapestry is quite amazing.
Gerry and I at his Retirement
Gerry and I go a ways back and have been together through good times and bad, promotions and success, deployments but also difficult times. During those times we have been able to be there for each other, from the unexpected death of his wife from a heart attack to him being there for me after my return from Iraq. He attended my promotion to Lieutenant Commander and I had the honor of officiating at his retirement ceremony.
Gerry and his family experienced another hard blow when his four year old grandson was critically injured last week. We talked about it but decided to wait for me to travel to Virginia. However late on Saturday night I received a call from the duty chaplain for the Norfolk area asking if I would come to baptize my friend's grandson. The duty chaplain is another long time friend who responded to the situation and helped support Gerry and his family during the crisis on Saturday.
My command gave me the permission to make the trip which involved me having to pass the on call chaplain duty to one of my subordinate chaplains. It is amazing how in the Navy more often than not commands will do whatever they can to care for their sailors and families. We tend to look out for each other. Some commands are better than others but I really don't know any other organization that works as hard to make sure that their people and families get support in crisis situations as the Navy does. It is not perfect and sometimes thing don't work out but more often than not the people that run the organization know the importance of taking care of the Navy family.
Gerry's grandson appears to be making his way out of danger and the baptism service at the bedside in the Pediatric ICU was very special. Please pray for little Evan as he continues to recover and his family as they navigate the difficult times ahead.
Before I drove back to North Carolina Monday morning I had coffee with my friend after doing some more ministry with the family. We talked of the specialness of the Navy family and the friends that we know that will be there for us. Having been on the both sides of this equation I can say that it is something special.
Of course I will continue to be in contact with my friend and his family and see them on the times that I visit my own dear wife Judy, who as some many other Navy wives do is spent another Valentine's day without me. At least the gift that I ordered got to her on time and she is happy with it even though I could not be there. I have lost count of the number of special days that we have been apart during my career in both the Army and the Navy. But that is another subject for another time.
The subject is the relationships that our lives our part of an indelible tapestry woven together with the lives of others. The tapestry is not simply composed of the most beautiful or pleasant events, often it is woven out of the tragedy and suffering that brings us together.
On Friday I will be conducting a memorial service for one of our sailors that died just two months before he was to retire. I did not know him well, but he touched many lives and in addition to his family many sailors will be coming in for this memorial service at their own expense from all parts of the country.
With members of my boarding team on the USS Hue City in the Arabian Gulf 2002
In the Navy and for that matter in the rest of the military we share the dangers and hardships of defending our country, deploying away from our families, and going to war. Our families share in that as well. Our lives and experiences be they be joyful, triumphal or painful are shared. It is in reality so much like the words of Henry V in Shakespeare's play of the same name; "we few, we happy few, we band of brothers…."

- Pierra Makena finally revealed how she ended up being a single mother two weeks after getting pregnant
- She spoke of how her child's father tricked her into a relationship
- Apparently, she discovered he was engaged to marry another woman, changing the course of their lives
Kenya's hottest female DJ Pierra Makena revealed some rather unsavory details about her baby's father as he continues to remain anonymous.
In an interview with True Love magazine, Makena revealed she was in an illicit relationship with the man before the tables were turned on her.
"I broke up with him two weeks after I got pregnant. I was afraid of telling him that I was in the family way because I was not really sure whether I needed him in my daughter's life,

"Later, my mother told me I had no choice but to tell him about the pregnancy which I later did,' said Makena.
The reason why she was reluctant to tell him was because she discovered he was engaged to marry another woman.
"I told him he sis not have to be involved in out child's life but he insisted on meeting to talk about the issue, and just like any unreliable man, he did not make any time to see me while I was pregnant. He ever made an effort to reach out again," added Makena.

And like any other man, he showed up when their daughter, Ricca Pokot, was born.
"He said he would take responsibility and support the baby girl and I could not say no. He has every right to support his child and I gave him the chance to prove what he wanted to be to his daughter…a father or a dad. He is yet to decide," concluded Makena.
For months now, Makena has opted to keep the identity of her child's father a secret. It was rumoured he is either a flamboyant politician or a billionaire businessman.
