Employees 'laid-off' in recent times are increasingly taking their former employers to court to dispute the size of their redundancy settlements.
Figures released this month show that the number of redundancy cases accepted by Employment Tribunals increased by 76% to 19,000 in the year to April 1 2010, meanwhile a further 8,600 cases were accepted by October 1 2010.
Experts claim that increased tribunals could be a direct result of second or third wave redundancies throughout the UK. They claim that employees initially fired could feel aggrieved by the size of redundancy payments offered to colleagues subsequently let go.
Employers that were forced to carry out successive rounds of redundancies would have found it increasingly difficult to offer generous redundancy terms, which could be exacerbating the surge in disputes over redundancy payments, said one expert.
However, employers can avoid court dates by preventing departing staff members from talking about the terms of their settlement through a clear policy, and taking action if it becomes clear that employees are not abiding by any confidentiality agreements.
For more on confidentiality agreements, and your rights as either an employer or employee, contact our employment solicitors today.
By employment solicitor, Phil Richardson

The Private Action Requirement
Florida International University Law Review, 6, 1
8 Pages Posted: 18 Dec 2010 Last revised: 6 May 2014
Date Written: December 16, 2010
This Symposium Essay assesses the constitutional challenge to the individual health insurance mandate. The principal argument against the mandate is that Congress is barred from regulating private inaction (or compelling action) under its Commerce Clause authority. Such a "private action" requirement must be judged by comparison to the state action doctrine of the Fourteenth Amendment, which is the only other general limitation on the power of Congress that distinguishes between acts and omissions. Measured against this principle, the attack on the individual mandate is without merit.
Keywords: health insurance mandate, Commerce Clause

The Company's revenue rose 15.3% from RM646.1 million a year ago to RM745.1 million for its financial year ended Dec 31, 2017 (FY17). Hotel operations became the major factor of its growth contributing up to 89.5% of the total revenue and 8.4% came from the property investment division.
The Company's hotels operations in Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Canada and China achieved RM667.1 million in revenue and RM130.3 million in segment profit for FY2017 as compared to RM481.9 million in revenue and RM42.8 million in segment profit from the previous year.

TA Enterprise saw its revenue grows 24.7% to RM1,051.3 million for the financial year ended 31 December 31, 2017 (FY17), compared with RM843.0 million in 2016.
The Company said the growth in revenue was driven by overseas hotel operations, stockbroking and financial services, as well as the investment holding divisions, which contributed to 92.3% of the Group's revenue.
Having hotel operations in Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Canada and China can be deemed for more than half of the Group's revenue. Other outstanding result include the earnings per share of 12.55 sen and the steady return on shareholder's equity that stood at 8.65%.
TA Enterprise said despite the economic being unpredictable, it is particularly satisfying to have achieved this level of revenue and the company expects to grow even further.

3 years ago today I woke up in my hospital room, was prepped and wheeled into the OR at the Inuvik Regional Hospital to deliver the twins. I can remember being so nervous, not about the procedure I was about to have, but how I was going to manage a 13 month old and two newborn babies. Baby A came first, it was a girl!! Surprise!! We had no idea what Baby A was until she arrived. Once she was out I felt enormous relief despite being numb from the boobs down. I think it was all my internal organs going back to where they used to be! A minute later, Baby B, Aidan was born! Both babies were taken to the nursery while the Dr's worked on putting me back together!
Once I got back to my room, the twins were brought to my room so I could see them. I barely got to see them in the OR, so many Drs and nurses around. Ian had gone with them to the Nursery, I wanted him to be with them instead of me. I knew I was in good hands. It was good to see them both and get a chance to hold them together and individually. Those few nights in the hospital were long and tiring. The nurses did their best to help out when Ian couldn't be around. He still had to look after Isabelle. Luckily we had great friends in Inuvik who were willing to help us out a lot with her so that Ian could be at the hospital over night to help me.
Today we had a birthday party at lunch time since Ian had to be at work tonight. I picked up a cake from Longo's and put my own decorations on it. Half was dinosaurs for Aidan and the other half had some of the fairies from the Tinkerbell movies. Madeline and Aidan loved their cake. Now that the kids are all older and I will have more free time to get things done, this is the last year for purchased cakes. I could probably have made the twins cake today but fell really short on time. After lunch and cake the twins opened their gifts. Isabelle was a little put out that there were no presents for her to open. She also really struggled with letting the twins play with their new toys. I kept having to remind her to give them back and that she was not to take them if they were playing with their toys. It was a hard afternoon on her. Despite her alone time with me this afternoon while Madeline sang to her new dolly and Aidan slept with his new tractor-trailer, she still felt a bit left out of all the "fun" I guess.
You are all probably wondering how it has all been going since our 3 day potty training. It has gone really well. We still use pull ups at night-time, but that's because I wasn't going to try to force them into nighttime training yet. However, I hear all three kids in the morning taking their turns and going potty. Aidan has probably done the best so far. Maddy has had a few accidents here and there, but she is aware that she should have got to the potty. So all in all it's been going well. I do enjoy not having to buy diapers anymore. The cost of them is ridiculous now! However pull ups aren't cheap either, but we don't go though them as fast since they only wear them when they sleep or if we are going to go out for an extended time.
The weather around here has been awesome. The girls have already been in summer dresses and Aidan has been in shorts and a t-shirt. It cooled of slightly yesterday but was nice again today. I could be okay if the weather would just stick around 18 degrees or even 20 with a cool breeze. It was so nice to get the windows open in the house, however a few times it was so warm in the house I thought I might have to get the A/C going!!
Well it's been a long and chaotic day…I will leave you with some photos of the kids, then and now….Happy Birthday to my wonderful kids! I love you so much and I can't wait to watch you grow and change over the next few years!! xoxoxo

The truth is, I don't have it all figured out. I haven't found where I really belong in the blogging world. And I still struggle with creating consistent content. I do, however, believe that my blog is growing. Slowly, to be sure, but growing just the same.
This is my 100th post. I've written about words. Words I've read and words I've written. I've read a lot of books and shared my thoughts with you. I've written about my progress on my own novels and even shared some short fiction.
There are also nearly 100 fine folks who have decided to follow my blog. I've decided to celebrate by offering a giveaway to you, my faithful followers. Once I reach 100 followers, I will randomly select one of you and I will send you a copy of one of the books from my reading list. The winner gets to choose which book! I will also have a special thank you gift for everyone who enters.
Looking through those who have followed my blog, a good number of you are other book bloggers. You are, like me, readers. Therefore, I will have a special bookmark as a gift for each of you.
If you don't wish to participate in the giveaway, you don't need to do anything. If you would like to be considered for the prize, just send me an email to let me know that yes, you're in.
I'll need an address to send you a special thank you gift. I promise, I won't send you anything else!
If you know anyone who might find my blog interesting, please spread the word! I appreciate each one of you. Thanks for sticking with me through this learning process. Here's to many more posts!

SMB networking services: Offering managed cloud services to SMBs
Vendors are looking more closely at SMBs, especially in the area of managed cloud services. In part 2 of this Q&A, Luke Wignall discusses how offering SMB cloud services may affect his SMB business, as well as how his business has recovered since the recession. Learn about offering managed cloud services in SMBs and what to expect from business now that the recession is waning.
In part 1 of this Q&A with Luke Wignall, managing partner of Common Knowledge Technology, a Denver-based SMB services provider, we discussed Microsoft's upcoming plans for managed cloud services.
In part 2, Wignall discusses the future of SMB networking services as a whole -- how managed cloud services will affect the network and what SMB networking solution providers can expect from their customers during this recession.
Which major vendors have been making a push in the SMB solution provider area?
Juniper has been our hero for interacting with small business providers and giving us ammunition to fight the fight, but it's stopped and is now focusing on the enterprise. Then, out of the blue, Cisco, the SMB's former arch enemy, has launched this massive initiative into the SMB space. We've got a minimum of three reps in the Denver area now. We haven't been involved with Cisco for years, and out of the blue, we're getting hounded by a partner development rep who is asking us to get involved in their SMB partner programs? You're sending three people to work the Denver market? That's insane. Who woke up?
You mentioned in our previous Q&A that managed cloud services offerings affect bandwidth on customer networks. Are there any other aspects of the network that will be affected by SMB cloud services?
Security services will definitely take a front row seat. There are a lot of unanswered security questions at the enterprise level but even more at the SMB level. SMBs are always a struggle, in terms of getting them to understand that they are at as much risk -- if not more -- as a major corporation. And we're headed into a world where we're going to put a lot of important information in the cloud.
If you're on Quickbooks, I can put that in the cloud already. I can host it on a server in the cloud. But SQL server? Where do we put it? Do we leave it here? How do we secure it? We're going to have connections into the Internet going into the cloud that terminate outside the physical boundaries of the office that we're in -- how do I secure that? And what if any issues are there? Who owns and manages that data? Small businesses have credit card information, account information and, yes, all of that is much smaller than some 30,000-seat medical company in Chicago; but it's still a question, and an important one at that.
The economy appears to be making a comeback. Have you seen that in your SMB networking business?
Most customers appear to have been down with a two-year return. We've had the best quarter we've had in two and a half years. Q1 was awesome, and Q2 has been better, so we are seeing a recovery, and we've been pretty stagnant for two years. People stopped spending money at some point up to two years ago, and while those two years weren't great, we're reaching a point where they have to invest in technology again.
If you were sitting on a technology that was three years old, that is now five years old -- even a two-year-old technology needs updating, so there's a flood of decision making coming. That's what we're beginning to see. We're hitting a point where small business owners are coming with a simple question: Do I hire someone for IT with benefits and salary, a 60K-a-year expense? Do I hire that person, who's potentially unreliable and calls in sick, or do I spend a portion of that money to gain increased efficiency through technology? We're getting that time and time again.
People are not hiring. People are buying. We're seeing a tremendous amount of "bring your own computer" in companies. This bring-your-own-computer piece means that the customer can make an investment in new technology that is more efficient, won't have to replace technology, and won't care where people work, as long as they work. The customer then doesn't have to worry about infrastructure costs because the employees are bringing their own computers. SMBs are thinking this way.
How are these technologies saving customers money?
In our previous world, I would build a customer what used to be a really robust server. The average small business owner project, if done right, averages between $9,000 and $12,000. That's a hefty investment. And that might not include firewalls. If it were the whole nine yards, that would be maybe $16,000. Now, for much less, I can do a virtualized project and maybe some hardware. And when Microsoft starts offering servers in the cloud, the hardware costs go away. Now, all you're buying are subscriptions -- a monthly fee!
And so, once that's built with virtualization running, now I'm offering a desktop for my customer's users that's freshly rebuilt every time they log on. It's always fresh and fast; it doesn't matter what hardware you're hitting it on as long as there's a Web browser, or a Citrix client, and that can run on pretty old hardware. It will run on your five-year-old Dell, and it will spawn a remote desktop connection and boom, there's my Windows 7 desktop. I can see it, interact with it, and when I restart it, I get a fresh build and it rebuilds the desktop from scratch. It never gets slow, and I maintain a single gold image. And let's say I have 40 seats -- I maintain that gold image for all 40 seats at the same time. This is reasonably affordable, compared with what we used to charge for server projects. With virtualization, I can make do with a lot less hardware than before.

Before I arrived in Roma I had this vision of the woman: air and ice – elegant creatures in haute couture and Amalfi coast tans – La Bella Figura. Well I don't see much of that on the number 84 bus in the morning or even at the opera – though I must admit there where some dressed-to-the-nines woman the night we went to the opera at the Baths of Caracella. I realize now they may well have been tourists.
But for five months in late summer and early fall there was a place where feminine elegance was supreme here in Roma. The newly housed Ara Pacis was the venue for a retrospective celebrating 45 years of the fashion style of Valentino.
Visually it was a stunning use of the incredible space that is the Ara Pacis and curators Patrick Kinmonth and Antonio Monfredo created colour groups that had impact and excitement. I honestly couldn't believe that I spent two hours the first visit and over an hour the second looking at an exhibit of haute couture.
Its taken a while to get this video together – mostly because I can't seem to get any music download that Windows Movie Maker finds usable. I know its a little long but there was so much to see and as always I took way to many photographs. Please let me know how it works as I may have to break it down into segments.

With the election of a Liberal government, there is an opportunity to correct many of the harmful measures instituted under the previous Conservative government.
Women's Issues
"If we want a country that cares for the future of women and families, we must create good jobs, fight gender discrimination, and promote pay equity. And that's just a start." — James Clancy, NUPGE National President
Ottawa (02 Oct. 2015) — According to research by the Native Women's Association of Canada, there are more than 582 missing or murdered Indigenous women and girls across Canada.
Sisters in Spirit Vigils honour missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls
On October 4, we honour the memories of those women and girls, and we honour their communities for fighting for justice on their behalf.
"This conference is about bringing women labour activists together to educate and share experiences about the myriad of issues they face in the workplace and our communities." — NAPE President Jerry Earle
The Committee has called on Canada to take immediate, coordinated action on the murders and disappearance of Aboriginal women and girls.
Study ranks Canada's 25 largest metropolitan areas based on a comparison of how men and women are faring in five areas: economic security, leadership, health, personal security, and education.
Harper should declare that the federal government, and all its institutions, has zero tolerance for sexist or abusive behaviour. Full stop.
"We want women to know that they are not alone, that help is available 24-hours a day," said Lise Martin, Executive Director of the Canadian Network of Women's Shelters and Transition Houses.
"This resource will provide women who are leaving violent relationships with quick access to the services they need to leave safely." — Brenda Hildahl, Chair of NUPGE's Advisory Committee on Women's Issues

I've been asked a few times lately about best practices for detoxing from frequent marijuana use.
When I detoxed, I did it 100% naturally. Everybody's different but here's what worked for me:
- Exercise every day. It doesn't have to be too strenuous but enough to sweat some toxins out of your body.
- Drink A LOT of water. More than you're likely accustomed to. (In case it has to be said, drink filtered or bottled water. Tap water probably has more toxins than the marijuana did.)
- Drink herbal teas with passion flower, echinacea, dandelion, chamomile, or damiana.
- If you drink coffee, drink it without cream or sugar.
- Avoid all fatty foods because you want your body to start burning fat where residual THC is stored.
- Avoid sugar because sugar wreaks havoc on your metabolism making you crave carbs and fatty foods which keep you from burning fat cells.
- In other words, for a week to 10 days, eat only lean protein, vegetables without butter or creamy sauces, salad without heavy dressing, and plain fruit.
- If you have to do dairy, go with plain yogurt. It's good for your digestive system. Avoid the typical kind that's all sweetened up. Check the labels.
- Plain cereal (no sugar) with soy, almond, cashew, or coconut milk is good too but not too much.
- All natural cranberry juice (no sugar or corn syrup) is my favorite detoxing juice.
- Nuts (without sugar or salt) are good for staving off hunger pains.
- If you absolutely have to have some sort of sweetener use a little bit of honey or agave nectar.
- Don't use artificial sweeteners either. There's no point in putting more toxins in your body when you're trying to take them out.
- If you can stand it, fast on your first day of detox while drinking juice and water.
These are the things I did and found them very beneficial.
In case you didn't notice, a detoxing diet is just basically a healthy diet. If you want to lose weight, this is the chance to kill two birds with one stone.
If you're already skinny, there's no limit to the amount you eat as long as you follow the general principals above.
I do want to caution that if you have any health issues, check with your doctor before doing any of this.
Look, I didn't come up with any of this stuff myself. Everything I've learned about detoxing, beating withdrawal symptoms, and quitting the weed habit, I learned from various resources but mainly Quit Marijuna: the Complete Guide.

What is it?
This is the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer, the seven-seat Ford S-Max-rivalling MPV, with a new 1.6-litre diesel engine.
It's the first model in Vauxhall's line-up to receive the new all-aluminium diesel engine, as part of a major powertrain development programme which will see 80 per cent of the engine range renewed by 2016.
The new engine produces a useful 134bhp and 236lb ft and is claimed to be capable of averaging 68.9mpg, impressive given the Zafira Tourer's dimensions and 1626kg kerb weight.
More notably, its CO2 emissions are rated at 109g/km, meaning road tax costs just £20 a year allied to appealing benefit-in-kind company car tax rates for business users.
Developed entirely within GM, the 1.6-litre diesel is equipped with high pressure common-rail fuel injection, a single variable geometry turbocharger, start/stop and an exhaust gas treatment system. These work together to improve efficiency while retaining drivability.
The engine features 'sound engineering' measures, including multiple injection cycles designed to smooth the combustion process and reduce the stereotypical diesel clatter, acoustic shielding and quiet scissor gear drives for the engine's timing systems.

As high-performance computing reaches for the "exascale", challenges of reliability of components and overall power consumption start to become major obstacles of progress. A number of research groups have identified the strict adherence to "bit-reproducibility" at the hardware level as both costly in terms of power and necessitating a design with little tolerance for faults. A new approach is being investigated which allows for a trade-off between power consumption and/or performance, on the one hand, and accuracy on the other. Work is being done at the hardware, compiler and algorithm level into the implications of such an approach. I will present here some background on the work of computer scientists on "stochastic" or approximate hardware, and discuss some of the implications for the simulation of systems of ordinary and partial differential equations should such hardware become more common. Simple test systems include the Lorenz '96 ODE system and Burgers' equation.


text: We construct non-perturbatively exact four-dimensional Minkowski vacua of type IIB string theory with non-trivial fluxes. These solutions are found by gluing together, consistently with U-duality, local solutions of type IIB supergravity on T-4 x C with the metric, dilaton and flux potentials varying along C and the flux potentials oriented along T-4. We focus on solutions locally related via U-duality to non-compact Ricci-flat geometries. More general solutions and a complete analysis of the supersymmetry equations are presented in the companion paper [1]. We build a precise dictionary between fluxes in the global solutions and the geometry of an auxiliary K3 surface fibered over CP1. In the spirit of F-theory, the flux potentials are expressed in terms of locally holomorphic functions that parametrize the complex structure moduli space of the K3 fiber in the auxiliary geometry. The brane content is inferred from the monodromy data around the degeneration points of the fiber.

Although it increased insurance in force, and decreased its inventory of delinquent loans, private mortgage insurer MGIC Investment experienced a loss due to lower investment gains, loss from paying off debt and higher payment for income taxes, according to an article by David Schuyler for Milwaukee Business Journal.
The company reported Tuesday a loss in net income for the first quarter of 2016 to $69.2 million, down from $133.1 million from the same period in 2015, according to the article. For individual shares that is a drop from 32 cents a share to 17 cents a share. Total revenue dropped from $270.2 million to $258.6 million.
Although they had a loss for the first quarter, back in February, primary new mortgage insurance grew 5.5% from last year, inching up from $165.8 billion to $174.9 billion, the company's February operational summary of its insurance subsidiaries for its primary mortgage insurance reported.
From the article:
Revenue was hurt by a drop in realized investment gains, which were just $3.1 million compared with $26.3 million in the first quarter a year ago. Profits were reduced by a pre-tax loss of $13.4 million related to the repurchasing of senior notes and an increase to $34.5 million, from $3.4 million last year, in the company's tax provision because of the reversal of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance in 2015.
The company reported a net income of $74.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with a net loss of $1.4 million for the same quarter a year ago. Diluted net income per share was $0.19 for the, compared to diluted loss per share of $0.00 for the same quarter a year ago.

Yep. This happened.
Kim Kardashian, who had stepped out earlier in the day in a low-key, jeans and T combo, decided that she needed to pull out the big guns and channel some major sex appeal for an event on Wednesday evening.
And wow, did she succeed.
The reality star went for the less-is-more approach in her plunging, cutaway, black jumpsuit leaving our minds a little boggled...
Wah? I mean... Really? HOW? Is the nipple thing on purpose?
Whatever Kim's secret is - and I'm sure well-endowed women everywhere will be desperately trying to find out - we can't help but admire this confident, feisty woman.
Although maybe it's not a look we'll be trying out any time soon...

A new report finds an oil tanker grounding on the Columbia River could cost more than $170 million dollars in damages. Estimates show the oil tanker could spill 8 million gallons of Bakken crude oil.
The report commissioned by the Washington Attorney General's Office looks at possible accident scenarios linked to the proposed oil terminal at the Port of Vancouver.
"We concluded that oil spilled near Vancouver would reach Longview (approximately 40 miles downstream) in one day, then travel slowly through the estuary, reaching the mouth after an additional four days," the report states.
The terminal would be the largest of its type the country. It would move crude oil from North Dakota and Montana by trains onto ships bound for West coast ports.
A train derailment could spill could nearly 850,000 gallons of crude, the report found.
Any potential oil spill would damage the environmental health of salmon and other fisheries on the Columbia River. The damage to recreational fisheries could be in the tens of millions of dollars, according to the report.
The report found the worst place for a train derailment would be above Bonneville Dam. That's because the turbines would mix the crude oil into the river water killing more fish and wildlife.
The backers of the oil terminal said in a statement that it wasn't appropriate to comment on a report they hadn't reviewed, noting that it's one of many being filed with the state as part of the permitting process.
"It would be inappropriate to draw conclusions from one report when there will be a large body of information presented at that point in time on this and many other subjects," said Tina Barbee, a spokeswoman for the Vancouver Energy Project.
The oil terminal is currently working its way through Washington state's permitting process.

Proud HumilityApril 27, 2012 at 8:48 am | Posted in Uncategorized | 19 Comments

Humility is something that does not come easily to human beings. Most of us feel at times that we are better than, or more deserving than, or more entitled than at least someone. However, humility is a crucial virtue when it comes to having a right relationship with God.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
James 4:10
We should be extremely thankful the Lord allows us to humble ourselves. After all, it's not as if we will not wind up humbled at some point anyway. One day, every person in this world will kneel before Jesus Christ and confess that He is Lord over all (Philippians 2:10-11). My old Sunday School teacher, Pastor John Wilkerson, used to say that God will get the glory from your life one way or the other. Either you will humble yourself before Him, or He will humble you involuntarily.
Some Christians today have come up with very subtle ways to attempt to subvert the opportunity the Lord has given them to humble themselves. They seek the power of God in front of an audience, and hope that the Lord will knock them down. It's always strange to me to see these people helped up by other people, as though God was powerful enough to physically overwhelm them, but not powerful enough to pick them back up. My Bible says that we are the ones who should be humbling ourselves, and the Lord will do the lifting.
Bob Jones Sr., the founder of the Christian university that bears his name, was once approached by a man who said, "One day, when I get on my feet, I'll be saved."
Jones responded by saying, "Sir, you don't get saved by getting on your feet – you get saved by getting on your face."

It is in God's nature to sometimes comfort those who are grieving, even when their grief is very misguided and founded on the wrong basis. When God, despite His prerogative to send chastening rather than blessing in response to our sin, decides to bless us anyway, we must seize upon that opportunity to repent.

| 1.2°C Dublin
Last week, on a beautiful, sunny October day in Rome, I sat on a bench among thousands of pilgrim-tourists thronging St Peter's Square as Pope Benedict beatified a 13th-Century German nun. Seated on his throne outside the portals of the Vatican, the Pontiff looked and spoke like a monarch.
The cheering crowds rapturously clicked their cameras to take home with them their own precious photographs of the Sovereign Pontiff. It was Hollywood Vatican style.
Somewhere inside the sprawling walls was taking place a private meeting of Ireland's four archbishops, senior members of the Roman Curia -- the Pope's cabinet -- and four senior external churchmen who will investigate the Irish church. Inside, the curial officials were exercising papal power.
Two thoughts struck me forcibly. First, that in the midst of such popular adulation, Pope Benedict must sense that the global child clerical abuse crisis is in no way dimming the aura that surrounds the Petrine office; and second that the Pope's henchmen are dealing with this crisis in their traditional centralised way as his unelected and unaccountable court.
As the Pope intoned in Latin the Pater Noster -- the Our Father -- at the end of a two-hour ceremony, it also struck me that the monarchical papacy has survived intact from the reforms called for in the 1960s at the Second Vatican Council.
These included a more collegial church in which the Roman Pontiff would become a primus inter pares -- first among equals -- with the world's bishops.
In such a majestic setting, the case being made by veteran religious affairs correspondent TP O'Mahony for the convening of a third Vatican Council seemed a pipe dream.
Indeed, in his slim but vigorous and highly stimulating polemic, O'Mahony acknowledges that in reality there is little prospect of this happening during the lifetime of Pope Benedict XVI.
I doubt if there was anyone in that vast, joyous crowd who was agonising about child abuse. Yet, behind the closed-portals meeting Pope Benedict had summoned was a clear indication that both he and his officials were all too aware of what TP calls "the hurt and the disaffection, the sense of drift and the crisis of credibility that now afflicts the upper echelons of the Church's leadership worldwide".
It is O'Mahony's contention that all these down sides are set to continue and possibly intensify until a root and branch reform of the Catholic Church is carried out.
"Nothing short of a radical new ecclesial blueprint will suffice," the author pleads. "That's why a new council is imperative."
According to O'Mahony, the Catholic Church is a house divided. It is divided between the papal loyalists who crave for authoritarian certitude from their Holy Father and the diminishing band of those who want to see the reforms advocated by Vatican II for a more consultative and participatory church implemented.
This polarisation was effectively camouflaged during the long pontificate of John Paul II, who led a counter revolution against the reforms of Vatican II.
Under Pope Benedict, the papal restoration movement is being consolidated, as will be more manifest next year when the Roman-imposed New Missal is foisted on baffled parishes.
For O'Mahony, the sinking of Vatican II, which he claims has left the Catholic Church "a partially broken vessel", is the real crisis of credibility facing Catholicism's 1.3 billion members.
The spate of scandals caused by clerical sex abuse is but a shocking symptom of a much deeper and longer-festering malaise that has caused the division and the structural damage.
O'Mahony's hope is that the next Pope will make Vatican III a top priority.
In the meantime, he warns, "tampering with superficial organisational changes is akin to moving the furniture around the deck of the Titanic".

What is a Rain Garden?
Rain gardens help reduce water pollution by collecting rain mainly from roofs, driveways, or other hard surfaces, and absorbing the water into the ground naturally. They are typically planted with wildflowers or native plants that have deep roots, which help to soak up more water. They can be placed near downspouts on homes (although away from building foundations and sewer laterals), and offer many benefits.
What are the benefits of Rain Gardens?
- Beautify your yard and neighborhood
- Help protect our streams and Lake Michigan from pollution by reducing stormwater runoff
- Reduce the risk of flooding and drainage problems
- Provide habitat for pollinators and birds

The Kitchener Rangers have acquired overage defenceman Miles Liberati from the North Bay Battalion for a slew of draft picks.
The Battalion will receive Oshawa's 2nd round pick in the 2017 OHL Priority Selection, Oshawa's 2nd round pick in 2018, Ottawa's 8th round pick in 2017 and Kitchener's 3rd round pick in 2019.
The move brings Liberati back to the Midwest Divison. Originally drafted by London, the Knights dealt him to North Bay in November of 2013 in exchange for Zach Bell. Liberati won an OHL championship with Knights the year before and participated in the 2013 Mastercard Memorial Cup in Saskatoon.
The Pennsylvania native has played 198 games with London and North Bay over four seasons in the OHL. Liberati helped lead the Battalion to the OHL Finals in 2014, and were finalist in the Easter Conference Championship last year.

Nearly 200 retailers, makers, restaurants and artists from Oakland will mark Plaid Friday, Nov. 23, with lively entertainment, holiday decorations, sales, artisan pop-ups and lots of local love for shoppers.
Shoppers can skip the stress of standing in lines to have fun, find great gifts and keep their money in Oakland supporting local businesses and bolstering the city's economy.
The one-stop portal at OaklandGrown.org is packed with information on holiday sales, community events, inspiration guides, the #ShopOAKProud photo contest, online directories and a helpful concierge service.
"Oakland is full of unique shops to buy one-of-a-kind gifts all year round, and our Plaid Friday tradition serves as a wonderful reminder to make sure that residents and visitors, alike, take full advantage of all that our small business community has to offer during the holiday season," said Mayor Libby Schaaf.
"Our diverse local artists and entrepreneurs are the backbone of our local economy, so again we're encouraging all Oaklanders to put their money where their heart is and support the businesses that invest so much in us."
Plaid Friday marks the start of a season-long campaign to promote local shopping. Shoppers are encouraged to explore Oakland's shopping districts, discover the unique gift items offered by local retailers and experience a variety of special events through New Year's Eve.
With the inclusion of places to shop, eat and have fun, Oaklanders have many options on where to spend their dollars locally. Check the Oakland Grown website throughout the holiday season as information is continuously updated.
Local businesses create a shopping experience unique to Oakland, capture the spirit and reflect the diversity of our community.
The theme of the promotion, "put your money where your heart is," is meant to to capture the immense pride and affinity residents have for Oakland.
The newly launched ShopOaklandNow.org online small business directory helps Oaklanders find the boutiques, shops and makers offering one-of-a-kind holiday gifts.
Main Street Launch has gathered information on 3,600 merchants throughout Oakland and continues to grow that number.
The #ShopOAKProud Photo Contest, sponsored by the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, starts on Plaid Friday and runs through noon on Friday, Dec. 21.
Post your holiday selfie taken at a local Oakland business and use the hashtags #ShopOAKproud and #OAKPROUDplaid in your posts to be entered to win two round-trip tickets to any published Southwest Airlines destination within the U.S.A. and Puerto Rico.
Be sure to tag the Oakland business, too. A merry band of judges will review entries on the creative expression of Oakland's 2018 holiday season of "Sharing, Caring, and Giving" shopping experience and select a winner. Find the complete photo contest rules at http://www.oaklandchamber.com/resource.
Need gift ideas that are truly unique and meaningful? Know what you want to give, but stumped where to find the gift item in Oakland?
The free Concierge Service offered by Oakland Grown will help you find one-of-a-kind items at a local, independent business. Launched for the 2017 holiday shopping season, the Concierge Service has proven so successful that the nonprofit has continued the service year-round.
A growing number of transportation options are available to help shoppers explore Oakland's commercial districts without the hassle of looking for street parking.
Thanks to BART, AC Transit, the Ford GoBike bike share system, e-scooters, and ride-hailing and taxi services, shopping local is easier than ever. For those who rely on automobiles, the City will encourage shoppers to explore Oakland's commercial districts by offering free off-street parking on Saturdays from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day as well as Plaid Friday (Nov. 23).

Shiatsu is a traditional Oriental healing method using "finger pressure" on the body's acupuncture points to help balance the person's energy flow and strengthen the vital organs. [60 mins]
Why Do People Get Our Shiatsu Massage?
The central concept in Oriental medicine is that all physical problems are a result of obstructions in the flow of Qi, or subtle energy, along critical pathways known as meridians. Shiatsu Massage helps to maintain and restore health by improving the flow of this energy along the meridians. It uses techniques such as stretching, rocking, holding and various degrees of pressure using thumbs, palms, elbows or knees to release these obstructions.
Shiatsu Massage combines the knowledge of massage, which people have used for centuries to heal their aches and pains, with energy pathways that are interconnected and provides a holistic tableau for addressing mind, body, and spirit. It helps to ease stiff joints and muscles with immediate effect, relieves arthritis and cures headache, and regulates the autonomic nervous system in the long run.
What Can I Expect During My Shiatsu Massage?
Our spa therapist will apply thumb, finger and palm pressure with continuous rhythmic sequence on the meridians, or energy pathways. No massage oil is used. The pressure may feel more localized because unlike other type of massages, the finger pads are used to apply pressure for most of the treatment instead of the entire palm. While certain pressure points may feel tender, some people describe it as good pain or deeply stimulating.
Beautifies your bosom by shaping, firming, boosting, toning and uplifting through a focused massage treatment and the application of a specially formulated bust contour serum. [60 mins]
Exfoliating and revitalising. Body scrub treatment removes dead skin cell and impurities. It simulates circulation to keep your skin healthy and smooth. [30min]

As the computer is used frequently, the problems occur more often than not. If no measures are taken, there will be many other problems appearing constantly. The worst result is that your computer will not be functional. Now, my favourite prompts and pieces from fanfic! And fic recs because why not. (Attention! The fics I mention are only some of those I have read in AO3. If your fic is mention and you prefer it wasn send me a PM and I erase that part.
Arunachal Pradesh and areas in J are being encroached regularly. Three new trends are noticed in the Chinese intrusions. First, in recent times the frequency of intrusions has increased; second now more troops are coming into the Indian side than earlier years; and third the duration of stay of Chinese troops in the Indian territory has increased.
Though I didn think of myself as a (capital A) Artist, I knew creativity was important to me and I just felt like I belonged with poets, artists, dancers, and other creative people. Several birthdays in a row in my late twenties, I modeled my birthday parties after those a 5 year old might have, with coned party hats, and lots and lots of paper, magazines, scissors, crazyons, markers, tape, and glue spread out on a long table. The idea was to create an environment for people to create, engage, and connect with one another through art with no judgements attached after all it was modeled and branded as a birthday party a 5 year old might have! There was no way to have art.
Far as I am concerned, it not that ball is not coming onto my bat or when I am at the crease my footwork is not working, Azhar said. It not working. I know I need runs whether captain or any other player nobody can play without giving performance. The game was available for pre order and has now been removed. A quick check on Steam game tracker SteamDB shows that Far Cry 5 can't be bought in India, China, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, South Korea, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. This is odd considering that Far Cry 5 was available for pre order in all of the aforementioned countries but Vietnam..
I even got a bottle of bubbly on my birthday delivered to my room. All in all this is a fantastic place to relax with plenty on your doorstep. In my opinion 5 star. To substantiate and generalise the postulated temporal effects on glare response, a semi controlled study was set up in a test room with direct access to daylight and to an external view. Forty participants gave glare sensation votes at three times of day, randomised over different days, while engaging with visual tasks under two shading conditions. Self assessments of several temporal variables fatigue, hunger, caffeine intake, mood, prior light exposure, sky condition were provided by test subjects with their glare assessments.

I never really noticed before that the Main Menu's in Joomla 1.7 were all Uppercase. No matter how you entered in your Menu names in the Menu Manager, they always showed up as Uppercase when viewed on the frontpage. ie, HOME, SAMPLE SITES, AND Joomla.ORG, these main menu items were always in caps. I received a comment request on how to change this and below I will show you how to make this change. If you are using Beez_20 Joomla 1.7 template, this is what your Main Menu will look like after making the changes below:
- Locate the secret hiding place for the 'edit css' file location in the Template Manager
- Comment out the lines that transform Main Menu text to uppercase in Template Manager
1. Locate the Secret Hiding Place to Edit the CSS in Template Manager
To remove the caps from the Main Menu titles and change them to normal case as entered in the Menu Manager, you will need to edit the Beez_20 Template layout.css:
- Login to your Joomla 1.7 administrator backend
- Click on 'Extensions', 'Template Manager'
- Click on the 'Templates' tab
- Click on 'Beez_20 Details'
- Click on 'Edit css/layout.css'
- If you need more help with that, click here for my post.
2. Edit the CSS and Remove the Uppercase Property in Template Manager
The uppercase transformation appears 3 times in the css code. We will need to comment out this code so it will not change the Main Menu headings to Uppercase. See Below:
- Search for the text:
- Change the code From:
- Change the code To:
/* Commented Dec 16, 2011 by Elaine - To remove the Uppercase from Main Menu Headings */
/* text-transform:uppercase */
- This code appears 2 more times in the css/layout.css file. You will make the changes in the
- #header form .button
- #header ul li a:visited
- #header ul li.active a:visited
- Click on 'Save & Close'
After you refresh your Joomla 1.7 website, you will see the caps removed from the text of the Main Menu in the Top module position of Beez20 Template. After you click on the link, the 'visited' text is not changed either.

Want to know why northern Oregon is attracting so many data centers? Here are five good reasons:
Lower total cost of ownership
There's no sales tax in Oregon, and we have multi-year property tax exemptions available in designated Enterprise Zones.
It is easy being green
We make it easy for you to go 100 percent renewable with affordable green tags from Pacific Northwest projects, and the nation's No. 1 renewable power program.
Even our basic power mix is strong on renewables:
- PGE owns two wind farms with combined capacity of more than 700 MW, plus solar projects and certified green hydroelectric.
- We are meeting Oregon's goal of 15 percent qualifying, new renewable resources in our generation mix in 2018. We're on track to meet the 2025 goal of 25 percent.
PGE's partnership and customer commitment is world class!Jim Linkous, Western Regional Vice President of Sales, Infomart Data Centers
Big pipe to Asia & the Pacific Rim
We're on several Trans-Pacific cable routes (including 12 cable landings in Oregon) for quick connection to rapidly growing Asian markets.
PGE programs that cut your costs
If your business requires standby generators, we can put them to work when demand for power is highest. In exchange, we pick up your routine maintenance costs and typically pay for the fuel your generators use.
You can also earn money for shifting load when demand is high in our Energy Partner program. And we have lots of ways to help make you more energy efficient.
Fun, convenient location
Even day-to-day business is easier here, with:
- lively urban areas and amenities
- an expert, engaged workforce
- easy access to Portland International Airport from almost anywhere
- more than 25 daily flights to the Bay Area
