 Yes,welcome to the 'Wanderers Club".I agree with you that the current Pope errs quite a lot when he strays into political issues.He does not stand alone there, though;our own Episcopal leadership errs in this manner as well.So we find ourselves in this self imposed "paper bag";trying to find a way out (forward).

 In fact,I find your summation of the issue very useful and interesting. I have found it very difficult, to get the core issue to remain as the topic of discussion.At the center of all this,is a very simple question---Of what value and importance is the founding articles of the
Church,from the Scriptures through to the 39 Articles.

Actually, you brought up the comparison today at 12.12am.

I think the ABC was a good choice and (to use my original language) chosen by God. I prefer him to the dean of Oxford, because the dean was not chosen by God to be the provincial. Anyway, aren't there persecuted brothers and sisters to be praying for instead of this?

Does that mean that, after many other options of belonging to different 'churches', you are now settled with us? Praise God if you are! And Welcome! Oh, by the way (and even Nick must agree with me here: Even Popes have been known to err. Especially when there were two of them; 1 in Rome and another in Avignon. There has never been a 'Perfect Church'.

Dear Nick, I think you are comparing the situation of our Archbishop of Canterbury with that of your Pope, Francis. However, Anglicanism doen't work in the same way. Whereas the Pope is given the title "Supreme Pontiff", there is no such animal in Anglicanism. Each Provincial Archbishop in our setup is responsible for his/her own provincial affairs - with no veto over any other province. Each province also has its very own Constitution. The ABC is given the courtesy title of "Primus inter pares" or 'First among equals'. There is no R.C. equivalent as far as I am aware. Father Ronhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-39533711794973898192016-08-22T15:00:41.709+12:002016-08-22T15:00:41.709+12:00The doctrine of Sola Scriptura is, to me, not over...The doctrine of Sola Scriptura is, to me, not overly relevant to the issues of sexuality and gender. That Scripture holds a pre-eminent authority in terms of God's revelation to us is affirmed in all branches of the wider Church, Orthodox and Catholic as well as Protestant. Exactly how that authority is understood, and it's relationship to tradition and the authority of the Church, is different in each branch, but that Scripture does hold a place of an actual authority and not merely a guide, is something the whole catholic church affirms.

Thus, holding the issues of sexuality and gender up to to the light of Scripture is not an example of Sola Scriptura, but an example of catholic Christianity.

If we (Anglicans) were to replace the authority of Scripture with private revelations and subjective opinions as to which way the wind of the Spirit is blowing, we would not only be opening ourselves up to doctrinal and moral anarchy, we would also be placing ourselves well outside the boundaries of the wider catholic Church. Such a position would be closer to the radical ideas of the Quakers than to any understanding of basic Christian orthodoxy and practice.

Reforming the Church, where and when it needs reform, is a good thing. It does not however mean that the Church has to accept every possible reform that is proposed. The Church must practice discernment, and it must do so in the light of God's revelation to us in Scripture, tradition and reason, and not at the whims of the modern world. If we were to try to keep pace with modernity, we would be changing our doctrines every other week. Moreover, Western modernity is not a repository of all things good and true. There are many things about modernity that Christians can rightly be critical of, and like everything else, it requires critical discernment by the Church, not uncritical acceptance.

Loving people who are different to us does not require that we affirm everything they do, let alone affirming those things God considers a sin. True Christian agape is far more robust and realistic than the modern notions of uncritically affirming people and what they do. Christ requires us to love people despite their sins as we are sinners ourselves. Christ does not require that we affirm peoples sins in order to love them.

Finally, I note that the current Pope is definitely not on side with the ideas of transgenderism.

 I agree with you, that using the Courts is not the ideal way;but I did not open this can of worms.However,The Gay and Lesbian Clergy Anti-Discrimination Society Inc.v The Bishop of Auckland establishes the lengths to which,some of those promoting this issue will go.The society lost the case on Constitutional grounds.At (16):Archbishop Richardson gave detailed evidence as to the Constitution of the ACANZP and as to the "doctrines or rules or the established customs"of the Anglican Church.

 Now,all that is put aside and they can quite happily talk of changing the Constitution and Doctrine to suit themselves.If it comes to a point where legal action is necessary,the ACANZP will have become a CLAYTON'S CHURCH,a church where you don't really have a Church.we don't want to become another T.E.C.;where attendance numbers are rapidly falling and their seminaries closing.The T.E.C. have a millions of dollars pursuing the Orthodox Anglicans;and have lost their case in South Carolina.

Far be it for me to come between an alliance between Ron and Andrei against litigious action.
But I understand Glen's point to be much less about going to court and much more about the integrity of ACANZP in respect of its willingness to understand its own constitution and the consequences of being a church constituted in the way it is constituted rather than in another way.

 I wrote :"I either accept the Doctrine of the Church,or I walk away".However,I have no problem with the Doctrine of the Church;in fact I wholeheartedly endorse it and will do my utmost to defend it.

 I did not write:"if I cannot live with what G.S. does,I will walk away".It must be abundantly clear by now,my total opposition to what can be alleged to be,the UNCONSTITUTIONAL and HIGHLY IRREGULAR manner, in which G.S. appears to be trying to circumvent Paragraphs 1,5 & 6 of the Fundamental Provisions of ACANZP'S Constitution; in the progression of THEIR Way Forward.But, is it GOD'S WAY FORWARD????

 Bishop Selwyn set the Church up in an excellent manner with a Constitution which could be revised in 1992; to allow for the Church to meet the various cultures of Her Parishioners.But that was far different from the
present manipulations being undertaken.The 1992 revision did not affect the Legitimate Doctrine as defined in the Constitution.The 1992 revision of the Constitution and The Church of England Empowering Act 1928 both reinforce the 1857 prohibition of ALTERING or DIMINISHING the 1857 definition and sources of our Doctrine.

I made my comment in the context of a dean seemingly at odds with his provincial. I imagine the provincial will win. To answer your question, however, the Pope would not have been my first choice; he is too much St John XXIII and not enough St John Paul II for me. Nevertheless, I have no doubt that he is the correct man for the job at this time and a supreme pontiff with whom I am happy to be in full communion.

My understanding of the Church of England Empowering Act is that we are not free to change the "Fundamental Provisions" of the Constitution (as, indeed, we did not when we revised the Constitution in 1992 ... we revised the bits of it which we could revise). So, Glen and my argument is that Constitutional change is a "big thing" because it would involve going to Parliament ...

We are now no longer ruled over by the Church of England - having already defined ourselves by the unique status of a 3-Tikanga Church - something the C. of E. has never envisaged and may not even understand. This is the Church ministering to needs in the local situation.

The Anglican Church here has already shown its pioneering independence - by initiating, for instance, lay representation in our Synods, and allowing for woman priests and bishops - well before (maybe even inspiration for) the C. of E. - all according to the will of God as discerned by the local Church Leaders.

A Church which does not keep up with the times could be considered moribund if not actually deceased. I do not want to be part of such a Church.

Whatever happens at General Synod 2018, it will be the will and purpose of ACANZP to follow the Holy Spirit's call to minister to All and Sundry - All whom the Lord will call to Baptism into Christ and His Body, the Church.

Yes, I understand all that, and I do not know if our hierarchy (i.e. bishops and chancellors) do understand the "box" they have opened, but it would only be fair if we cannot settle our affairs in unity that we allow for two different streams of Kiwi Anglicanism to emerge from this present division. To which stream your family's bequest belongs is a fair matter to be concerned about, but I am at this point trying to deal with the principle of the matter, not the details!Peter Carrellhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-62530291876636441322016-08-21T19:55:14.365+12:002016-08-21T19:55:14.365+12:00Hi Peter, Quite simply,the ACANZP is a l...Hi Peter,
 Quite simply,the ACANZP is a legally constituted "body", recognized in N.Z. Law both through it's Constitution and The Church of England Empowering Act 1928.As such,it is required by LAW to fulfill it's legal obligations;the same as any secular organisation.

 Jesus said:Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's:Matt 22-17/22. Here,the ACANZP has a double obligation;She must meet Her legal obligations to Caesar, while fulfilling Her Ordained Mission.Therefore,it is Her legal obligation to abide by Her Constitution.

 Our family has donated land to the Church,on which a Church now stands.The DEED OF GIFT is quite clear that the land was donated for the purpose of proclaiming the Doctrine of the Church as defined in the Constitution 1857. If the Church wants to change it's doctrine,they are no longer entitled to the property.

 This discussion, probably better belonged in your blog about the Church v State;but here it is.Through their dismal leadership,the Bishops have opened a PANDORA'S BOX and allowed G.S. to take us into the dessert for another 40 years.

 We raised the question to the Ma Whea Commission regarding the relationship of the ACANZP to the rest of the Anglican Communion.Quite simply,I would argue that the ACANZP can never move outside of the Doctrine as defined in Paragraphs 1,5&6 of the Constitution 1857.

 Therefore I would argue that anybody wishing to use the term "ANGLICAN";would have to clearly distinguish themselves from the ACANZP.

A "church" may do as it wills after all a "church" is only a building of wood, brick or stone and in the town where I live there are many "churches" that have already been converted to profane use - homes, coffee houses and one has even become a nightclub

Soon there will be a few more Anglican "churches" finding a new life devoid of worship - in the USA there is apparently an Episcopalian church that found new life as a brothel.

Before we explain how bridges work and why they are used, it is important for you to know about dental lab fees.
We use a top-quality lab, based in the US, that NEVER discounts their products to us. Normally a top-quality US made bridge costs about 40% of the cost of the procedure. If you send it to China it costs about 15% of the cost. If you make it in-house, the cost of the raw materials is about 2.5%…..
We never send any crowns to China to be made and we do not make them in-house to save a few bucks! In the long run, we believe that true quality will prove itself.
Also, our fees are the same or less than others who send their crowns to China or make them in-house. We believe that patient loyalty is our greatest asset.
A bridge — a device used to replace missing teeth — attaches artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth (abutment teeth). Bridges are either permanently attached (fixed bridges) or removable.
Fixed bridges are applied by either placing crowns on the abutment teeth or by bonding the artificial teeth directly to the abutment teeth. Removable bridges are attached to the teeth with metal clasps or by precision attachments.
If you're missing one or more teeth, you may be aware of their importance to your appearance and dental health. Your teeth work together for many daily functions from eating to speaking. With missing teeth, it's difficult to do these things. Missing teeth can and should be replaced. Fixed bridges are a great way to restore your dental health and appearance.
Oral functionality and appearance are important reasons for wearing a bridge. A bridge helps support your lips and cheeks. The loss of a back tooth may cause your mouth to sink and your face to look older.
Dental health is the most important reason for a bridge. Teeth were designed to complement each other. Unusual stresses are placed on the gums and other oral tissues when teeth are missing, causing a number of potentially harmful disorders.
Increased risk of gum disease has proven to be one of the worst side effects of missing teeth and can be minimized with a bridge.
The attachment procedure usually takes two or three appointments to complete. At the first appointment, the doctor) will prepare the teeth on either side of the gap by removing a portion of the enamel and dentin.
Since the bridge must be fabricated very precisely to ensure correct bite and to match the opposing tooth, an impression of the teeth, or a digital scan is taken and sent to the lab where the bridge will be constructed.
Fixed bridges are typically cemented to the natural teeth next to the space left by the missing tooth. A pontic (false tooth) replaces the lost tooth. Crowns, which are cemented onto the natural teeth, provide support for the bridge.
Bridges can be constructed from gold alloys, non-precious alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. In porcelain fused to metal bridges, porcelain is bonded to a precious metal.
A strict regimen of brushing and flossing will keep the bridge and surrounding teeth clean. This is of critical importance since the bridge relies on the neighboring teeth for support.

While the vast majority of forensic DNA typing performed for criminal investigations involves human DNA, it is not the only source of DNA that may be useful in demonstrating the guilt or innocence of an individual suspected of a crime (Sensabaugh and Kaye 1998). Domestic animals such as cats and dogs live in human habitats and deposit hair that may be used to place a suspect at the crime scene. Demonstration that a botanical specimen came from a particular plant can aid the linkage of a crime to a suspect or help demonstrate that the body of a deceased victim may have been moved from the murder site. DNA testing can now be used to link sources of marijuana. A large area of future application for forensic DNA typing involves identification of bio-terrorism materials such as anthrax. This chapter will briefly discuss each of these topics and the value of non-human DNA testing in forensic casework.
The American Pet Products Manufacturers Association reported in April 2003 that over 64 million U.S. households own a pet (see http://www.appma.org). Their survey found 77.7 million cats and 65 million dogs in these households, which make up at least one-third of all U.S. residences. Since many of these domestic animals shed hair, these hairs could be picked up or left behind at the scene of a crime by a perpetrator. An assailant may unknowingly carry clinging cat hairs from a victim's cat away from the scene of a crime, or hair from the perpetrator's cat may be left at the scene.

DNA analyses since 1996. They have found that there are three types of animal DNA evidence: (1) the animal as victim, (2) the animal as perpetrator, and (3) the animal as witness.
Animal abuse cases or the theft of an animal can sometimes be benefited by the power of DNA testing. The remains of a lost pet can be positively identified through genetic analysis. Typically genetic markers like short tandem repeats (STRs) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are examined in much the same way as with human DNA.
When animals are involved in an attack on a person, DNA typing may be used to identify the animal perpetrator (e.g., a Pit Bull). If the victim is deceased, then DNA evidence may be the only witness that an animal in custody committed the crime. Animal DNA testing can 'exonerate' innocent animals so that they are not needlessly destroyed.
Animal DNA has been used successfully to link suspects to crime scenes (see D.N.A. Box 11.1). A study on the transfer of animal hair during simulated criminal behavior found that hundreds of cat hairs or dog hairs could be transferred from the homes of victims to a burglar or an aggressor (D'Andrea et al. 1998). In fact, the number of hairs found was so high that the authors of this study felt that it is almost impossible to enter a house where a domestic animal lives without being 'contaminated' by cat and/or dog hairs even when the owner describes his or her animal as a poor source of hair (D'Andrea et al. 1998). Due to the fact that shed hairs often do not contain roots, nuclear DNA may not be present in sufficient quantities for STR typing. Mitochondrial DNA may be a more viable alternative for many of these types of shed hair transfers.
Snowball's DNA
The identity of white cat hairs found on a bloodstained leather jacket left at a murder scene became a turning point in the case of Douglas Leo Beamish versus Her Majesty The Queen in the Providence of Prince Edward Island, Canada. The victim, Shirley Duguay, was discovered in a shallow grave in a wooded area eight months after she disappeared. Beamish, her former common law husband was charged with the crime. At the time he lived with his parents and a white cat named Snowball. Laboratory analysis of the bloodstains on the recovered jacket contained the victim's DNA profile. The white cat hairs matched Snowball at 10 STR loci. The defendant was convicted of murder based in part on this evidence.
Menotti-Raymond, M., et al. (1997) Pet cat hair implicates murder suspect. Nature, 386, 774.
Cats have 18 pairs of autosomes and the sex chromosomes X and Y and genetic markers have been developed on each of the Felis catus chromosomes (Menotti-Raymond et al. 1999). A panel of STR markers dubbed the 'MeowPlex' has been developed that contains 11 STRs on nine different autosomes (Butler et al. 2002). A gender identification marker was also included in this assay through the addition of PCR primers that are specific for the SRY gene on the cat Y chromosome. The PCR products for this 12plex amplification fall in the size range of 100 bp to 400 bp and use three dye colors (Figure 11.1).
Feline STR allele frequencies from domestic cats have been published (Menotti-Raymond et al. 1997) for the purpose of demonstrating uniqueness of DNA profiles in forensic investigations, such as used in the Beamish case (D.N.A. Box 11.1). Population studies on over 1200 cats from 37 different breeds have been conducted by the Laboratory of Genomic Diversity at the National Cancer Institute-Frederick Cancer Research and Development Center in Frederick, Maryland. In an initial study of 223 cats from 28 different breeds, the MeowPlex exhibited an average composite locus heterozygosity of 0.73 across the breeds (Menotti-Raymond et al. 2003). The power of discrimination with this 11plex feline STR multiplex ranged from 5.5 X 10-7 to 3.3 X 10-13 across the various breeds.
A real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay (see Chapter 4) for estimating the DNA yield extracted from domestic cat specimens has been developed (Menotti-Raymond et al. 2003). This assay is capable of detecting down to 10 femtograms of feline genomic DNA and uses high-copy number short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) similar to the Alu repeats described in Chapter 8. Feline STRs and mtDNA testing is performed by Joy Halverson of QuestGen Forensics (http://www.animalforensics.com), which also does canine STR and mtDNA testing to aid forensic investigations.

This test examines 11 autosomal STRs and a region of the SRYgene contained on the Y chromosome that can be used for sex determination.
While cat DNA testing may be involved in situations where the animal hair acts as a silent witness to connecting a perpetrator to a crime scene, evidence from dogs is more frequently linked to situations where the animal is the perpetrator. Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Doberman Pinchers, and Pit Bulls can be trained as security animals and may attack, injure, or even kill people.
Canine mitochondrial DNA possesses two hypervariable regions (HV1 and HV2) similar to the human mtDNA described in Chapter 10. Savolainen et al. (1997) found 19 sequence variants across a 257 bp segment of the hypervariable region 1 of mtDNA control region in 102 domestic dogs of 52 different breeds. They concluded that on average 88 out of 100 tested animals could be excluded with this mtDNA sequence analysis. Another study that used a larger portion of the dog mtDNA control region found the overall exclusion capacity to be 0.93 in 105 dogs tested. By way of comparison in 100 British white Caucasians an exclusion capacity of 0.97 was observed (Piercy et al. 1993). Therefore, domesticated dog mtDNA is not as variable as human mtDNA yet it can still provide helpful clues in forensic cases (Savolainen and Lundeberg 1999, Schneider et al. 1999).
A number of STR markers have been mapped and characterized on the 38 pairs of autosomes and the X chromosome of Canis familiaris, the domestic dog (Neff et al. 1999). Recently, 15 canine STR loci have been characterized with sequenced alleles to define nomenclature for future work (Eichmann et al. 2004). A set of 10 dinucleotide repeat STRs has been used to aid investigations in illegal animal deaths (Padar et al. 2001) and a dog attack that resulted in the death of a seven-year-old boy (Padar et al. 2002). In addition, DNA profiling of human blood recovered from a dog's fur can associate or exonerate the animal from connection to an attack (Brauner et al. 2001).
The remains of stolen animals or illegally procured meat (e.g., endangered species or poaching) can be identified through DNA testing (Giovambattista et al. 2001, Poetsch et al. 2001). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have a forensic laboratory in Ashland, Oregon that does some species identification using DNA (see http://www.lab.fws.gov). Sequence analysis of the mtDNA cytochrome b gene is effective at identifying the species of origin for a biological sample (Bartlett and Davidson 1992, Parson et al. 2000, Hsieh et al. 2001, Branicki et al. 2003). Bataille et al. (1999) developed a multiplex amplification of a portion of the human mtDNA control and the cytochrome b gene to enable simultaneous human and species identification.
In the area of plant DNA testing, there are primarily two areas being investigated currently. The first is the linking of plant material to suspects or victims in order to make an association with a particular area where a crime was committed. The second is in linking marijuana to aid in forensic drug investigations. A review of some of the applications of forensic botany was published recently (Miller-Coyle et al. 2001).
Crimes often occur in localized areas containing a unique combination of botanical growth. If these plants, algae, or grass are sufficiently rare, then recovery of trace evidence from the clothing of a victim or the personal property of a suspect may be helpful in making an association that can link them to a crime scene (Szibor et al. 1998, Norris and Bock 2000, Horrocks and Walsh 2001).
Although it is not yet used routinely (Bock and Norris 1997), non-human DNA has helped link suspects to crime scenes and aided important investigations. In the first use of forensic botanical evidence, two small seedpods from an Arizona Palo Verde tree found in the back of pick-up truck were used to place an accused murderer at the crime scene (Yoon 1993). Genetic testing on the seeds showed that in a 'lineup' of 12 Palo Verde trees near the crime scene, DNA from the seeds matched only the tree under which the victim's body had been found. In State versus Bogan, the jury found the accused guilty based in large measure on the plant DNA evidence.
The Connecticut State Forensic Science Laboratory has developed a sensitive DNA test for Cannabis sativa (marijuana) because it is an illegal substance associated with many crime scenes. In fact, marijuana is the most commonly identified drug tested by U.S. forensic laboratories in criminal investigations (see http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/nflis). Marijuana DNA testing can link an individual to a sample, link growers, and help track distribution networks (Miller-Coyle et al. 2001). However, it is important to keep in mind that if the marijuana plants were propagated clonally rather than by seed, then they will have identical DNA profiles. Clonal propagation in marijuana is performed by taking cuttings from a 'mother' plant and rooting them directly in the soil to create large numbers of plants having identical DNA (Miller-Coyle et al. 2001).
Efficient extraction protocols have been developed that yield 125-500 ng of DNA per 100 mg of fresh plant tissue (Miller-Coyle et al. 2003a). DNA testing of marijuana as with other plants has traditionally been performed with one of three methodologies: randomly amplified polymorphic DNA markers (RAPDs), amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) or short tandem repeats (STRs). These techniques and their specific application to marijuana DNA typing have been reviewed (Miller-Coyle et al. 2003b).
Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA marker analysis utilizes short PCR primers consisting of random sequences usually in the size range of 8-15 nucleotides in length. Complex patterns of PCR products are generated as these random sequence primers anneal to various regions in an organism's genome. RAPD suffers from poor reproducibility between laboratories largely because of the requirement of consistent PCR amplification conditions including thermal cycler ramp speeds. The complex patterns of RAPD also prevent mixture interpretation and provide challenges in consistent scoring of elec-trophoretic images even in single source samples.
Patterns from amplified fragment length polymorphism markers can be generated with greater reproducibility compared to RAPDs. AFLPs are generated by first cutting a double-stranded DNA sample with one or more restriction enzymes (Vos et al. 1995, Ranamukhaarachchi et al. 2000). Specific 'adaptor' sequences are then ligated to the restriction cut sites. PCR primers that recognize these ligated adaptor sequences are used to amplify different sized DNA fragments that can then be separated using electrophoresis. The final result is a complex series of peaks usually in the 50-400 bp size range that can be scored with computer software and compared with other AFLP patterns from different marijuana plants. Even highly inbred individual plants can be distinguished by their AFLP patterns (Miller-Coyle et al. 2003b).
Several STR markers have been recently reported for Cannabis sativa (Hsieh et al. 2003, Gilmore et al. 2003, Alghanim and Almirall 2003). As with human STRs, marijuana STR markers are highly polymorphic, specific to unique sites in the genome, and capable of deciphering mixtures. A hexanucleotide repeat marker showed repeat units ranging from 3-40 in 108 tested marijuana samples, and primers amplifying this locus produced no cross-reactive amplicons from 20 other species of plants tested (Hsieh et al. 2003).
All of these molecular techniques for identifying marijuana plants need comparative databases to be effective tools for law enforcement purposes. In order to determine the possibility of a random match with marijuana seizure samples, it is important to have a database of seizure samples so their DNA profiles can be used for comparison (Miller-Coyle et al. 2003). More information regarding on-going research in the field of forensic botany and its application may be found at http://www.bodetech.com/research/botany_plant.html and http://www.plantdnatracker.com.
Unfortunately microbial forensics will likely become a larger part of DNA testing in the future with the threat of terrorism and the use of biological warfare agents. Microbial evidence can be from either real terrorist events or hoaxes. The efforts in this area will likely require forensic laboratories to build strong collaborations with academia, private sector and national laboratories. Important requirements of bio-threat detection assays are high sensitivity, high specificity in complex samples, fast measurement, compact design for portability and field use, and internal calibration and reference to ensure reliable results (Ivnitski et al. 2003).
In October 2001 a bio-terrorism attack impacted the United States as government offices and media outlets received anthrax-laden letters sent anonymously through the postal service. This attack resulted in 22 anthrax cases and five deaths. In addition, many people were afraid to open their mail for months afterwards. More than 125 000 samples were processed as part of this case in the two years following this attack and yet no one has been charged with the crime to date (Popovic and Glass 2003).
Several challenges arise when trying to gather evidence, identify the biocrime organism(s), and trace the source of the organism(s). First responders to crime scenes where biological weapons have been dispersed have to be concerned about their own safety and the safety of others while maintaining chain of custody of any evidence collected from the crime scene, all the while trying to prevent contamination of the evidence and the environment. Databases need to be established for intrinsic background species and bio-threat strains. Reliable reference material is needed for comparison purposes. Proficiency and validation testing are necessary to estimate false-positive and false-negative rates (Kiem 2003).
The U.S. efforts in building a response to bio-terrorism have been announced in a policy paper (Budowle et al. 2003). The FBI has initiated a Scientific Working Group on Microbial Genetics and Forensics (SWGMGF) that will help develop guidelines related to the operation of microbial forensics (SWGMGF 2003). Currently there are an insufficient number of validated analytical tools to characterize and identify biological agents that might be used in a terrorist attack (Budowle 2003). Research efforts will continue to be made in this area.
Comparative genome sequencing promises to be a powerful tool for investigating infectious disease outbreaks as was performed with the whole-genome sequencing of Bacillus anthracis (anthrax) (Read et al. 2002a, 2002b). Phylogenetic analyses of viral strains of HIV have been admitted and used as evidence in court (Metzker et al. 2002). However, since bacteria and viruses reproduce asexually, clones are prevalent. A perfect match between evidence collected and a reference sample is much less definitive than with human identity testing where sexual reproduction shuffles genetic material each generation.
Sensabaugh and Kaye (1998) consider several issues regarding whether a given application with non-human DNA is ready for court use. These issues include the novelty of the application, the validity of the underlying scientific theory, the validity of any statistical interpretations, and the relevant scientific community to consult in assessing the application. Many times new methods are applied for the first time in microbial forensics or animal or plant DNA testing that have not yet undergone the scrutiny of regular forensic DNA testing techniques. Reference DNA databases for comparison purposes and use in calculating the probability of a chance match take time to develop and may not be in place prior to an investigation. Finding appropriate experts to review the scientific soundness of a novel application can also be challenging. Nevertheless, the power and influence of forensic DNA testing will continue to grow as it is used in more and more diverse applications to solve crimes that were previously inaccessible.

FCA Review: How quickly can you react?
On 14 April 2015, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) imposed a £126 million fine on two Bank of New York Mellon entities for failing to adequately safeguard client assets in breach of the FCA's Client Asset Sourcebook (CASS). How quickly could you react if you heard the FCA were undertaking CASS reviews. This short video from Governor Software shows how you can pull a full report on your Cass Compliance in minutes using GovernorReg: FCA.
What is Govenor Reg: FCA
Governor Reg: FCA is a live version of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Handbook that allows UK regulated financial institutions to map, track and report regulatory compliance as it happens. Governor Reg also provides UK regulatory news in real time, powered by Corlytics RED
Currently most financial institutions have to map their FCA regulatory obligations manually into tools that are not purpose built for compliance oversight, such as Microsoft Excel, they then need to manually manage status and obligations with an error-prone and non-auditable operational model, knowing that having to use such methods exposes institutions to unnecessary risk but also prevents them from proactively managing ongoing changes within specific regulations.
Governor Reg: FCA has used Governor Software's unique visualisation technology allowing them to provide FCA authorised firms with an actual live copy of the FCA Handbook. This allows users to benefit from the:
- improved search functions,
- increased visualisation of regulations,
- the ability to download specific modules.
Governor Reg also has its own inbuilt history feature that allows users to see changes by date, and provides breaking UK regulatory news, powered by industry leading regulatory intelligence from Corlytics, in real time.

World Catholic Association for Communication
SIGNIS was founded by merging two organisations that had existed since 1928: OCIC, the International Catholic Organisation for Cinema, and UNDA, the International Catholic Association for Radio and Television. It is recognised by the Holy See as an International Catholic Organisation, and is a member of the Conference of ICOs, and as an NGO it has consultative status with UNESCO, Ecosoc and the Council of Europe.
SIGNIS is a worldwide network of associations, institutions and individuals working in the mass media, with the aim of alerting Christians to the importance of human communication in every culture, and encouraging them to speak out in this important sector. The Association, which represents Catholic media in all the governmental and non-governmental organisations and institutions, is committed to lobbying for policies to encourage communications that respect Christian values, justice and human rights; to involving media professionals in the dialogue on questions of professional ethics, and to fostering ecumenical and interfaith cooperation in the media sector. The projects implemented by SIGNIS are extremely varied, ranging from the promotion of television programmes and films by setting up juries to take part in film and television Festivals (such as Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Monte Carlo, Prix Italia), setting up radio broadcasting studios, producing and distributing videos, supporting the development of communication infrastructure (satellite telephony, Internet, Intranet). One of the priorities of SIGNIS is to guarantee everyone quality access to the media by providing them with information including learning how to interpret and view critically, and to acquire new communication techniques and technologies.
SIGNIS is governed by the General Assembly, the Assembly of Delegates, the Board of Management, which comprises the President, Vice President, General Secretary and Ecclesiastical Assistant, the Treasurer, a representative of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications (of which the President and the General Secretary of the Association are a member and a consultor, respectively), representatives of Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America and Oceania, and one representative of the international organisations in contact with the Association. National Catholic associations of institutions and individuals working in the audiovisual media or Catholic International Media Organisations pursuing the same goals, may become Members of SIGNIS, and institutions or individuals working locally in the media, but in contact with their national associations, may become Associates.
SIGNIS has 150 Member associations and 76 Associate associations in 122 countries, as follows: Africa (39), Asia (16), Europe (27), Middle East (3), North America (7), Oceania (19) and South America (11).

We know, we know—our mums always tell us not talk with our mouth fulls. But when you're in the act of giving your man a blow job, it can be awkward when it's all crickets (and groans). Many of us get shy when it comes to dirty talk, unsure of what to say to turn your partner on or maybe you're too busy working Mr Eggplant down there that you just can't multitask.
We don't blame you—they don't call it a job for nothing. But sometimes, an unexpected trash talking can really heat things up several notches. Look no further for how to muster the courage to be a master linguist.

10 Things To Say In Bed That Will Really Turn Him On
5 Mistakes Most Singaporean Men Make In Bed
4 Positions To Make Sex Last Longer
1. Say my name
Yes, it's that simple—start by addressing your man (not his member) and telling him how much you like feeling how hard he is in your mouth. Throw in some appreciative oohs and aahs as you alternate between licking him and using your hands.
The Don't: Never, ever name a guy's private part—that's just weird.
2. Keep it real
No one said that talking dirty means you have to turn into a foul-mouthed Cardi B that would require loads of mouthwash after. You want to be you, not scare your man off. So start by telling him how much you love going down on him, how wet it makes you and what you want him to do with you after. It will drive him wild—guaranteed.
The Don't: Talk in third person—there are only two people involved in this sex sesh, so be cool.
3. Make eye contact
Take our word for it: your guy will love it when you're looking up directly into his eyes, while taking him in your mouth. Sometimes just that alone conveys a thousand words to his brain. The most opportune moment to look him in the eye is when you're deep throating him, and when you stop for air, say: "I love it when I can feel you hitting my throat." Slam dunk.
The Don't: Stare at him without breaking eye contact the whole time. It's a bit scary when you're all bugged eye for five mins straight.
4. Flip the tables
Look, we're all about fairness so if you and your man are going to be partaking in the act of dirty talking, we'd expect you to ask him to return the favour too. So the next time he's going south for a dive, ask him to tell him what he likes about having sex with you. Yank his hair a little or grab the side of his head to pull him closer to your pelvis and grind softly into his mouth when he says things that you like hearing.
The Don't: Let him call you names that make you feel uncomfortable. Set boundaries with your man so he doesn't disrespect you and vice versa.

"Kaity marveled at the Global River. It was so wide that it was quite visible from space, being about 6 Earth miles wide on average. It cut through Syvoric, separating the city into three sections...
Vexador's sprawling capital was divided into mostly pleasant precincts. The 1st precinct was the heart of the city, where Vexador's government resided, and all other precincts were sequentially numbered outward from it."
(Vengeance of Sorrow, p. 6)
Vexador is a desert world. There are no oceans, and its main sources of water are landlocked seas and the Global River, which spans half of the planet. Desert climates range from semi-arid grassland to lifeless dune seas to cactus-dotted canyon country. Greenery thrives around the rivers and freshwater seas. The northern pole is Vexador's one climate exception, being composed of the Jaharil Mountains, a circular range rising as high as 13,000 feet. Snow caps the Jaharil Range year-round, providing melt that feeds the Global River.
Temperatures on Vexador are generally hot, with a significant difference between summer, winter, or altitude. Syvoric City's winters average a high of 55, but its summer average sits around 100°F. Summers in the inhospitable Sea of Giant Dunes can peak at 125°F, while at the roots of the Jaharil Mountains, one can experience nightly lows of 15 °F. The planet receives little rainfall in general, with the exception of the northern pole.
Because Vexador only figures into a small part of Starganauts, I will introduce its people here. The main groups of inhabitants are the Yvoric/Altil, the Hematuse, and the Jaharil/Inxoti. The Yvoric and Altilni intermingled after the former conquered the latter, creating Syvoric City and the first advanced civilization. About 30% of Vexador's population lives in Syvoric alone.
The Hematuse are the proud dwellers of the lower Global River. Fierce warriors in ancient times, they still remain defiant and highly independent. The Jaharil/Inxoti inhabit Vexador in the northern regions and east of the Gakra Sea. Though not intermingled like the Yvoric and Altil, the Jaharil and Inxoti are allies. All three people groups are at peace with one another through a planetary non-aggression pact.
One of the Starganaut forms, Crosshair, comes from Vexador. 200 years before the Starganauts, Syvoric City, was plagued with gang warfare. A hitwoman who called herself Crosshair got arrested and began aiding the police against her father's gang. The power of the gangs was broken, and Vexador entered an era of peace and prosperity...its Golden Age. For her part in improving Syvoric, Crosshair was given the honor of taking the red crystal to the planet Sahara.

I can't figure out why people hate these so much.
Yes, its not really visually attractive.
Not really practical.
Not a good handler (top gear made fun of its "epic" turning circle)
Still, they're good on the gas, and they're a breeze to park.
I suppose in America, where everything is super sized, these don't have much appeal. Also I imagine you could only fit one American in it.
It's a case of they're so ugly they're cute for me. Besides, they're really cheap. Yeah, you only get 17 hp, but how many hills do I have to go up?
nah Namelis1, you could prob fit 2.
I would have to get the convertible, too tall for the roof.
Or just get a crotch rocket, just as safe and better on gas.
They are ridicilously expensive as opposed to what you are getting. Which is a 4-wheeled moped.
A guy down the street from me has a Mercedes version and it's purple. It's quite possibly the ugliest little car on the planet.
We looked at these (we are all about the mpg), but it actually gets less MPG than our chevy aveo, and it's more expensive and a smaller car.
Go figure.
I heard they get less MPG than a Civic too. Not the hybrid either, I'm talking the regular 4 cylinder
I saw one of these painted up like the General Lee once. I laughed my ass off all the way home.

AL Lineup Analysis (7/18/19)
- The lineup was starting to become set until Mike Trout got hurt.
- David Fletcher (.294/.358/.420) has led off for eight straight games.
- Kole Calhoun has slowly worked his way up the lineup by hitting .273/.385/.576 over the last two weeks.
- Luis Rengifo has solidified himself in the lineup by hitting .288/.373/.424 over the last month.
- The top seven spots are set with one outfield spot being a Josh Reddick (vs RHP) and Jake Marisnick (LHP) platoon.
- Mark Canha (.944 OPS) is now batting regularly in the middle of the lineup.
- Franklin Barreto (.540 OPS) needs to start hitting or he may end up being replaced by Jurickson Profar (.680).
- Khris Davis moved down to the 6th spot in the last game with Canha and Ramon Laureano heading up.
Blue Jays
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is hitting just .194/.242/.226 over the last two weeks.
- There are one too many bats with one regular sitting every day.
- Tyler Naquin has started 10 of the last 12 games while hitting .455/.500/.788. He's pretty much killed any playing time for Greg Allen.
- Bobby Bradley is hitting just .178/.245/.356 in 49 plate appearances.
- Besides a rotating cast of characters in the seventh and eighth spots, the lineup has been set for weeks. It's not a good lineup but a consistent one.
- J.P. Crawford has cooled off over the last two weeks hitting just .111/.161/.222 but continues to bat second.
- Most of the names are the same, but some players are moving up the lineup while others are headed down. When he starts, Chance Sisco (.948 OPS) is batting third or fourth. Also, Anthony Santander (.740 OPS) is now hitting in the top half of the lineup.
- Even though Pedro Severino has a respectable .798 OPS for a catcher, he's only started four of the last 15 games. He's close to dropable in most formats.
- Willie Calhoun's demotion and Hunter Pence IL return will change some things around. Delino DeShields was in a playing time platoon with Calhoun but it's not clear if the platoon with continue.
- Michael Brosseau (1.071 OPS) has started 10 of the last 11 games and hit second in the last two games.
- Travis d'Arnaud (.274/.333/.526) is still hitting at the top of the versus lefty lineup and playing first base.
- Austin Meadows is sitting against lefties with Guillermo Heredia usually starting instead.
- Joey Wendle continues to struggle at the plate (.497 OPS on the season, .417 over the last two weeks) and could run out of playing time soon.
Red Sox
- The lineup continues to be consistent.
- For some unknown reason, the Royals let Lucas Duda (.500 OPS) start every third or fourth day.
- Bubba Starling is batting seventh with a .235/.316/.235 slash line since his promotion.
- Billy Hamilton has been religated to pinch-running duties.
- Several changes. Victor Reyes (.667 OPS) is locked into the leadoff spot. Harold Castro (.742) is batting second.
- Brandon Dixon is hitting just .161/.246/.387 over the last month and has moved down the Tigers lineup.
- The C.J. Cron and Byron Buxton injuries have caused some lineup fluctuations but overall it is consistent.
- Luis Arraez (.942 OPS) has started 11 of the last 12 games. I'm a little worried Jonathan Schoop may start losing playing time (.777 OPS).
White Sox
- The top two-thirds of the lineup is set but the bottom half has gone through some changes with the addition of A.J. Reed (.833 OPS in 15 PA).
- Luke Voit is back to hitting third
- One of the infielders/DH sits every day. I think fantasy owners expected Giovanny Urshela (.820 OPS) to sit more but he's started six of the last eight games.
- Since joining the Yankees, Edwin Encarnacion is hitting just .177/.261/.481.
- Over the last month, Aaron Hicks has finally gotten healthy and is hitting .297/.373/.563.

SYDNEY (June 27): A Senate committee report has recommended an independent inquiry into a financial planning scandal at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), with the bank accused of covering up misconduct that left thousands of its customers without their savings.
The inquiry, which may take the form of a royal commission or independent judicial inquiry, is likely to pave the way for regulatory and legislative reforms in the sector.
Australia's financial advisory sector has been criticised for high fees, and the Financial Planning Association of Australia has acknowledged that low entry requirements for advisers has led to poor advice for customers.
More than 4,000 CBA customers lost their life savings during the global financial crisis after advisers misled them into buying risky products, fabricated documents and forged signatures. The misconduct occurred between 2006 and 2010.
CBA, Australia's top lender by market value, apologised for the misconduct. "We deeply regret that some of our financial advisers did not provide quality advice to customers," CBA said in a statement on Friday, responding to the Senate report.
But CBA also said in the statement that it strongly refuted accusations by Senator Mark Bishop, who chaired the committee. The accusations include allegations of a cover-up and that the bank's ability to address compensation issues was compromised.
The report, released late on Thursday, was part of a broader probe into the performance of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) which failed to provide satisfactory answers to the allegations.
"The committee's confidence in ASIC's ability to monitor the CBA's … compensation process is severely undermined. The CBA's credibility in the matter is so compromised that responsibility for the compensation process should be taken away from the bank," the Senate committee said in its 519-page report.
It recommended tightening corporate governance standards at ASIC and suggested the government to urgently consider expanding the regulator's toolkit to prevent the marketing of "unsafe products" to mom and pop investors.
The committee also urged ASIC to conduct "intensive surveillance" of other financial advisory businesses to ensure there are no other compliance deficiencies, and recommended higher penalties for financial services licensees that fail to lodge reports of significant breaches to ASIC within the required time.
Australia's financial industry accounts for more than 8 percent of the country's economic output and is among the biggest globally

Brighid Daly is a Biodynamic & Integrative Psychotherapist, Supervisor, Health-Creation Mentor and the Founder of S.A.O.R. –
(Private Practice in Co. Galway & Co. Kerry).
Native to Kerry, Ireland, Brighid emigrated to the United states in 1984, where she began to study the Indian philosophy of yoga. This proved to be the foundation of a life-long fascination with cross-cultural wisdom teachings and their universal message of wholeness as the highest and healthiest state of being human. As a result of a subsequent move to Denver, Colorado, in 1989, she discovered and began to study the Native American culture and its richly humanistic, oral tradition.
Piqued with curiosity, Brighid spent 1991 on a world tour, during which she immersed herself further in multiple cultures and their health and healing systems. While living in New York City in 1992, Brighid was first inspired to create profoundly engaging classes encouraging people to attend to their deeper needs as prerequisites for health and well being.
Exposure to the beauty of these varied cultures provoked dormant memories of her own indigenous Irish inheritance, and gave rise to a deep desire to reawaken its presence in her identity and her work.
Brighid brought this rich foundation to Galway, Ireland, in 1993 and began teaching two groups weekly in the Galway Bay Health Centre, where she introduced ancient Irish symbols as valuable teaching tools. She continued developing this concept at the centre until 2004 while training as a Bio-Dynamic and Integrative Psychotherapist and eventual Supervisor. This strengthened her ability to impart these beautiful and powerful teachings in a more professional and programmatic way.
In 2001, Brighid was invited to bring her work to Slanu Cancer Care Centre where she co-facilitated the weekly programme. Whilst there, she trained as a Health Creation Mentor with Dr Rosy Daniels, founder of Health Creation, UK.
Brighid returned to live in Kerry in 2006. She now practices as a Psychotherapist and Supervisor in both Kerry and Galway, and continues to explore creative ways to help us explore our potential and encourage growth.
