Guest Starring:
Date: August 22nd, 2010
Mina takes home a stray who brings her into increasingly complicated troubles in his search for his friend, Marcy. Good thing she can run away from trouble.
"Really General Practitioner"
Mina's Apartment
New York City
It's an exciting whirlwind of a trip, only lasting a few seconds. While Craig can feel the intense winds and friction that running at supersonic speeds bring, they aren't unpleasant. However, the boy may have a dizzying time of trying to make sense of his surroundings during this time, with shapes blurred. A few sharp turns that nearly bring them into a wall, then they're inside, then there are some stairs, then a door…
When Mina comes to a stop, it is right in front of the trash can of her upscale apartment, just in case Craig will get sick like that one time when she took that dog for a run. Never know. "Here we go. Safe and sound. Nobody will look for you here." She slips her arm from around the orange-clad boy's waist, peering down at him quietly.
"WHAT THE— !! OH MY GOD!!!" The teenager goes reeling the second the world stops moving, clutching his head and leaning over, stumbling in whatever direction he happens to face. He wasn't the one running, but his breath comes in sharp, overworked gasps as he straightens and blinks light eyes at his new surroundings and Mina. Hopefully, he won't need the trash can, but right now it certainly looks like it could go either way. He scrubs a pasty-white face with both hands and refocuses.
"That. Was. Awesome." He is, after all, still a seventeen year old boy.
Mina edges the trash can a little closer to him, just in case. Despite the fact that they ran what was likely five or six miles in mere seconds, she's hardly even breathing heavily. "Glad you enjoyed yourself." She moves over to the fridge, pulling out two bottled waters. One is tossed over the kid's way, as the speedster leans against the counter, regarding him in silence for a long moment.
Then, she cracks open her water, taking a long sip. "So. You are safe now, and nobody will be able to find you here. Now, why don't you tell me everything? I need to know the entire story, from start to finish, so I can help you."
Craig catches the bottle of water easily, but fumbles a bit after the fact as the plastic slides in his hands. He's quick to sober after the whirlwind trip, nodding to Mina. He takes a more focused look around her apartment before heading in her direction, looking for somewhere to sit down. "I can't believe you… can run like that…" And yet he doesn't ask how. He opens the bottle and takes a long, much-needed swig. "Thank you," he's sure to add before setting into his story.
"Okay. So Marcy. I met her in juvie a month ago— I know, it sounds bad, but whatever, I just stole some crap— and— whatever, I'll go back. Marcy though — she put herself in there, she didn't want to hold up that drugstore…" He's a smart enough kid to realize how sketchy his story sounds, and sincere eyes pin on Mina. "Look, I know I haven't known her that long, but we're both— we're ALL different, we were like, best friends in there, and— she told me that juvie was the best place to hide. They couldn't get her in there. Her parents. They sold her…"
The short woman offers a warm smile in the boy's direction, swigging at her own water. "As that lady was saying back there, I hope someone else would help me if I were in the same situation." She chuckles, swinging her eyes up toward the ceiling, making small notes in her head about the boy she's recently taken in. He's not as surprised as most people would be, to find out that she can run at speeds faster than any human-made contraption can. That right there is something of interest.
Her eyes swing back to his face as he speaks, frowning as she rests the lip of the water bottle against her lips. "Okay…" She murmurs this softly, pushing off of the counter to open up the fridge, staring thoughtfully at its contents, while still listening to the boy. As he makes the last remark, the woman turns, frowning at Craig. "They sold her? Why…why would they do something like that?"
Craig takes to leaning against the counter further away from Mina rather than sitting, a restlessness overtaking his clear exhaustion. "For money," he answers, more simply than he realizes — why else would someone sell something, right. "Well they sold her out, anyway. I dunno— I dunno how it works." He wishes he did. His bottle of water crinkles slightly in one hand and his other gestures intensely, sharp and fast with emotion. "Marcy is different, she's special. You can run fast, she can run— forever. She just. She keeps going. She's tough. Her parents wanted to make money off her, they didn't freakin' care, they were gonna take her and put her in some— some thing that's like freakin', I don't even know, worse than slave labour, man. Treat her like a dog."
A frown creases further and further over Wilhelmina's brow as Craig speaks. Another, like her maybe? She's never heard of someone being able to run forever, but then again, there's stranger things that have happened, like a woman who can run faster than sound can travel. She taps the neck of the water bottle against her lips, peering thoughtfully at the young man. Finally, she speaks. "Where is this Marcy? If you can help me find her, I can help her get out of the country." And maybe some more clear answers. She doesn't elaborate on how that involves a much longer version of the whirlwind trip, including a nice run on the ocean. That can wait until much later.
"Out of the country?" Craig's eyes go wide. Can she really do that? Did he seriously luck out? But he blinks rapidly, coming back to the present. "She's got friends in the city — yeah," a scoff; so-called friends, apparently. " — in Little Ukraine, but her folks live there too, so I dunno if she'd go back. I don't know where she'd go. Where does someone go when they don't wanna be found. She's— I said she's tough but she's not as tough as she looks. She's scared. She's gonna get caught…"
"Europe is nice this time of year." She chuckles softly, swigging at her water, before Mina's face drops into thoughtful contemplation. "It would probably be a good idea to get over there pretty soon, before anyone else can get there. Just to make sure she's not there. How long ago did you two run away?" She raises her brows, inclining her head toward Craig with a rather concerned look on her features.
A gravelly sound of thought catches in Craig's throat as he looks around the room for a clock, but only winds up swiping a hand across his eyes. "Today. This— this afternoon." He takes another long drink of water. "But I don't even know where she'd be there, I mean I don't even know where her house was, I don't know her friends' names— we can't just go flashing her picture around, can we?" A flash of an idea lights up is face in the midst of this half-cocked planning and he snaps his fingers. "Do you have a computer?"
The woman smiles softly. "It's possible we could, but that might raise suspicions." She glances toward the hallway, sipping at her water. "Computer is in the office." Without another word, she's making her way toward said bedroom, opening the door into a study filled to the brim with bookshelves, which are in turn filled with medical books. "Here we go."
Craig heads on in, his head tipped back as he looks around at all the bookshelves. He drops into the office chair and starts to type in a URL, drinking more water while he waits for it go load a website. The bottle is nearly empty, by this point; the kid was thirsty. "Are you a doctor or something?" he asks while his eyes still wander to the unfamiliar book titles, not actually expecting the answer to be yes.
The computer screen, meanwhile, has come to life with a website known to every teenager: Facebook. Craig spends some time misspelling Marcy's name before he gets a hit and a profile page for one Marcy Kuzminski. The picture the page boasts is that of a girl Craig's age, trying sullenly to look away into her mass of wild pale blonde curls and avoid the camera — but it somehow resulted in a pretty picture anyway.
"General practitioner, yes. I'm the person everyone goes to for everything that's wrong with them, when they don't want to go to the ER." She smiles down to the boy, before turning to watch the screen as he fumbles with the girl's name. As the picture is pulled up, her brows raise. "Pretty girl you got there. Were you two an item?" She tilts her head toward the boy.
Evidently, Mina's "one everyone goes to for everything when something is wrong" expertise has started to extend into other aspects of her life, if the escapee teenager sitting at her computer is any indication. Craig's face flushes slightly, obvious since he's presently so pale. "No. Nah. But she's my friend." He navigates the webpage a bit, bringing up more names, more pictures. Many of them have an Eastern European bent; people Marcy knows around the community of Little Ukraine. Craig's gotten this far into looking at Marcy's life, but now he looks up at the doctor with bloodshot puppy dog eyes, unsure of what to do now. It seemed like a sound idea at first…
When she went to Harvard Medical school, Wilhelmina certainly didn't expect to be harboring fugitives. This could very easily get her into trouble. But then, getting in trouble implies that they have to catch her, first, and she has full run of the planet to get away from whoever might come after her. Having such an ability really could encourage one to ignore conventional laws, and Wilhelmina is no exception.
The woman peers down at the computer screen for a moment, before turning to one of the bookshelves and pulling out a phone book. "Let's see if we can narrow down some of these last names, shall we? Do me a favor and pull up a map of Little Ukraine for me." She offers a practiced smile down at the boy.
Craig's head swings back toward the computer and the doctor's orders are followed. Soon, he has a map up, zooming in on a square of New York City that covers part of the East Village. "It's around East 7th Street… I know for sure that Malko and that that Petrovich kid are still in juvie…" But that still leaves a slew of other names affiliated with Marcy, though all told she doesn't appear to have many friends, at least not ones with internet, so that makes their job easier. Craig rolls back in his chair, checking on Mina and the phone book. "Marcy hung with some rough crowds," says the kid who was just imprisoned.
With a smile, Mina sets about skimming through the phone book, searching for addresses. There's a woosh of air, and she's suddenly got a pad of paper next to her, writing down potential names and addresses. "Well, this will at least give us an idea where to look, right?" She smiles to the boy, reaching over to pat him on the back. "We'll find her, honey, then we'll get you two set up somewhere safe." She offers a comforting look to the boy. "Can you tell me anything else that might help find her?"
Mina's comfort and support encourage Craig to think as hard as he possibly can, racking his brain for some helpful detail; it doesn't work. His feet work restlessly against the floor and drops an elbow hard onto the edge of the desk and leans into his hand, shaking his head 'no' against it. "I just thought maybe if I could catch up with her…" Then, suddenly — a look up. His hope fades almost immediately as he second guesses the validity of the thought he had, but he says it anyway: "Nadia," he says. "She mentioned a Nadia a lot. 'I was a terrible friend to Nadia'— that's what she said, like all the time."
The woman continues to flip through the pages; apparently, she doesn't just run fast, she is fast, flipping pages at insane speeds and writing things down just as quickly. In a perfect world where people aren't freaked out by such things, she would be the most efficient doctor ever. "Well, that's what you have me around for. She might be able to run forever, but I can catch up with her." She winks. As he mentions a name, she turns to the profile page, searching for a 'Nadia' in Marcy's friend's list. "Do you know her last name?"
Turn, scroll scroll scroll… "Uh… Go… Gorbac… Gorbachova?" Craig mangles the pronunciation a bit but makes a solid effort. A few more clicks have him announcing, "Nadia totally has her parents on Facebook," lame "Frank and Maria." That will make them easy to find in the phone book, right?! "Thank you, so much, for doing this. Doc. Seriously, I mean, you look like you have a nice place here and I don't wanna get you in trouble…" Craig he suddenly freezes when he catches something out of the corner of his eye. He squints at the screen— the profile is filled with messages.
'Nadia where are u??? Answer ur phone!!!' 'Miss you!' 'OMG please come back!' 'I heard what happened pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease be okay!' 'you're in our prayers wherever you are nadia'…
Scanning through the phone book, Mina jots down an address, straightening for a moment. Then, she turns a small smile to the boy, shaking her head. "Please…trouble means they have to catch me." She winks. "When you have the entire planet as your hiding place, law doesn't matter so much. Day trips to France have been a favorite passtime of mine." She winks to the boy. Then, her eyes flick down to the screen, reading quietly. She quickly grabs hold of the mouse, scrolling down to read other comments. This is turning complicated really fast.
Is it ever. The page reveals more comments of the same: the farther back, the more innocuous. The last time there was any activity from Nadia was in July.
"Wow, you're lucky," Craig states. "You can just take off whenever you feel like it. Hell, I'm lucky you happened to be at the park, you 'n' those other people— do you think they'll help for real? If they call, maybe they can help us look around Marcy's neighbourhood, and not be so… suspicious and crap." Right? That— that sounds smart? Craig is, clearly, entirely unsure. Leaning toward the computer, he reads as well. "Damn," he murmurs.. "I wonder what happened to 'er…"
The woman tilts her head toward Craig as she reads over the comments, nodding slowly. "Hopefully they do call…I have a feeling we could use some help in this case." She glances down to the boy for a long moment, smiling. "There's not much we can do right now. But, how about you sit back and watch some TV, and I'll go get us some food?" And scope out these addresses. It's not like it'll take her long.

Bankruptcy is a legal possibility out there to you to resolve your debts and achieve a financial fresh begin. If they can show that you simply lied on your application, didn't intend to pay the loan again or are hiding something in your bankruptcy case then the court might aspect with them and make you pay the debt. Chapter 7 chapter will depart a critical mark in your credit score stories for 10 years. There are six varieties of chapter underneath the regulation although personal chapter is normally only filed in two varieties. Book your free session at this time with certainly one of BC's Trustees in Bankruptcy and Debt Consolidation.
Bankruptcy is one of the worst issues that can occur to your personal finances, that's why it ought to only be used as a last resort. Exempting property like your house and automotive from the bankruptcy does not imply you don't have to repay the debt on them. The trustee may even answer any questions you might have in regards to the bankruptcy process. You'll must reply questions from the trustee and collectors about your bankruptcy forms and funds. Government organizations can't revoke, droop or refuse to renew a license due to your chapter. You must be absolutely sure that it's the right course before pursuing a bankruptcy order. You cannot sell or transfer belongings before you file bankruptcy simply to maintain them out of creditors' fingers. The bankruptcy courtroom will reopen the case to ensure the discharge has not been violated.
Trustees are private people for private bankruptcy circumstances and completely impartial to the debtor or collectors. It's going to price you but will make sure you know exactly easy methods to file bankruptcy and make sure your case goes smoothly. This is the place you hire an organization to renegotiate your money owed, usually over a three-12 months course of that destroys your credit score and finally ends up costing simply as a lot as the debt you owed. Since the trustee can also be required to tell you how you can avoid chapter if doable, you don't have anything to worry about when speaking with a trustee about making the choice to assert bankruptcy. If a bankruptcy filing is the most suitable choice in your debt management needs, we'll overview all key ideas of non-public bankruptcy together earlier than you decide to the method.
We'll meet with you confidentially one-on-one to grasp and assess your monetary state of affairs, and focus on all doable options accessible to resolve your money owed, in addition to the method of private bankruptcy. The process for submitting chapter 13 bankruptcy is sort of exactly like chapter 7 besides you additionally file a reimbursement plan with the courtroom. Learn about steps you possibly can take to rebuild your credit score following a private bankruptcy or Consumer Proposal, in this transient video. Make a monetary plan: Build a price range, create monetary objectives, and contemplate enlisting the free assist of a nonprofit credit score counselor that will help you alongside the way in which.
When confronted with the prospect of non-public chapter, stress often appears unavoidable. Anybody who is insolvent (that's who owes at the least $1,000 and is unable to repay their debts as they turn into due) in Canada and have made each try to unravel your cash issues would possibly wish to contemplate personal chapter as a solution to their debt problems. However, simply due to the fact of having a bankruptcy on your credit report doesn't mean that you just won't be capable to get credit score. Bankruptcy is often the quickest way that a adverse credit score will be repaired. Post-petition switch is when you promote or switch belongings after filing bankruptcy and is usually not allowed if it is to maintain them from collectors. Notice I didn't include debt negotiation as one of many bankruptcy alternate options. Most of our shoppers achieve an R1 credit standing, or the best ranking, within 2 years of being discharged.

Branded uniforms and clothing can be highly effective tools for marketing and staff retention, and this has become an exciting and diverse way to grow your brand. Whether you are introducing new uniform ranges for your entire staff team or creating items for special occasion wear, we can help you to make it work for your business.
Here at Connect Promotions, we have many years experience of working in partnership with businesses to create relevant and high quality ranges of promotional products. Branded garments are a large part of this, and they can be used very effectively to increase employee loyalty and retention if you take the time to get your strategy right.
Make Your Branded Garments Work For You
It's challenging to design and create branded clothing for your staff team, but considering the following aspects may help you to get it right. Your clothing should be:
1. Practical. You will need to consider the nature of your business and the environment that garments will be worn in so that you can make the best choices. Your staff will not thank you for introducing a branded hoodie if they are regularly required to work in hot environments, for example, and you might need to consider different options for the different times of the year.
2. Comfortable. Don't assume that everyone is the same: seek the opinions of the people who will be wearing the branded clothing wherever possible. Find out whether your team would prefer loose or fitted tops, for example, and decide whether you will offer an individual choice or go with the majority preference.
3. Relevant. Whenever your staff connect with members of the public, there is an opportunity to boost your marketing and grow your brand. Ensure that your branded clothing contributes towards this by seeking expert advice and connecting it to your brand. Your first step will probably be to consider whether your existing logo and format is serving your brand as well as possible.
4. Cost effective. Every company has a budget, and finding the right products without blowing yours can be a challenge. Take the time to research fabric choices and branding options, and don't feel forced into opting for big brand names as smaller brands often offer the same quality and features for a much lower price tag.
5. Attractive. If your staff enjoy wearing your branded clothing, they will be a great advert for your business and ethos. It's worth investing in getting your design right, and unique details that draw attention to certain features will get your brand noticed for all the right reasons. Talk to us about the creative options that could work for your business.

This project is an example of Internet of things: Arduino, Android, and ESB. Internet of things is one of the most emerging topics and one of the most discussed lately. What is Internet of things? When talking about IoT, we mean a set of smart objects that are connected together and can exchange information.
In this way, it is possible, for example, to create a sensor network and we get information from them using our smartphones. In this world, Arduino plays an important role, because it is a low-cost system that can be used in several contexts.
In the previous post, we talked about a simple project that uses Arduino and Android to control a remote led. This post shows a different approach and the Android smartphone does not connect directly to the Arduino and its sensors but uses a component that decouples the Android client and the source of information (Arduino).
Internet of things: Arduino, Android, ESB: Architecture
Recently i came across an interesting article explaining the IoT architecture. This architecture is quite complex and general purpose, i want to simplify it using just some components.
Instead of connecting directly the Android smartphone to the Arduino, i used a component called ESB (Enterprise Service Bus). In this case, my preference is for WSO2 ESB because it is an full open source project and it fits perfectly in the IoT ecosystem. Moreover, WSO2 proposed the reference architecture.
Why should we use an ESB in IoT?
First of all, if you don't know the ESB feature i suggest you to give a look here. There are several reasons why we should use an Enterprise Service Bus:
- We can connect to several Arduino board and we want to have a single entry point that can route the request to the right board.
- We might require some data transformation from Arduino data to other formats so that we can connect other devices than smartphone
- We want to implement some authentication logic so that only authenticated client can access the data
- We want to implement some business logic before send back the data from Arduino to the client
- We don't want to expose Arduino board directly on the internet
The Project: Android and Arduino with ESB
As test project, we want to monitor the indoor temperature using a sensor connected to Arduino. In this first example, the Android smartphone connect to the ESB and requests the current temperature. The general IoT context is shown below:
In the picture, inside the ESB it is implemented a custom proxy. A proxy is a component that lives inside the ESB and hanldes incoming request from external resources.
Using a proxy, it is possible to transform the incoming request send it to the destination and then read the response and transform it back.
In our case, the source that creates the request is the Android smartphone that sends the requests to the Proxy (ESB) and the destination is the Arduino board.
In the next post, we will start to analyze how to create all the components and how we can make them talking.
By now, if you want to set up WSO2 ESB you can go here and install the app.
In this post, you get a basic knowloedge of the internet of things definition and how to start coding applications of internet of things.
This post describes how to monitor Arduino sensor using the application of the IoT reference architecture.
What if we want to read a remote sensor connected to Arduino board using our smartphone? As explained previously, we can connect directly our Android smartphone to arduino and read the sensor data or we can use a different approach where there is an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) that stands in the middle between the arduino board and the smartphone.
Even if the system is a little bit more complex as stated in the previous post using ESB we have a lot of advantages.
It is time to show things work:
- an ESB proxy using WSO2 ESB that sends HTTP request to Arduino board and transforms response from Arduino board to our smartphone
- Arduino Webserver that handles HTTP connection and read the temperature sensor
- Android app that shows the temperature value in our smartphone
How to implement an WSO2 ESB Proxy
<proxy name="AndroidService" transports="https http" startOnLoad="true" trace="disable" statistics="enable"> <description> <target> <inSequence> <log> <property name="Message Flow" value="Arduino API"/> </log> <send> <endpoint> <address uri="http://192.168.1.130"/> </endpoint> </send> </inSequence> <outSequence> <payloadFactory media-type="json"> <format> {"temp":$1} </format> <args> <arg evaluator="xml" expression="//temp"/> </args> </payloadFactory> <property name="messageType" value="application/json" scope="axis2"/> <send/> </outSequence> </target> </proxy >
At line 14, the proxy forwards the request to arduino web server, while in the line 19-24 the proxy transforms the response to JSON.The WSO2 ESB Proxy is now available in the service list:
The WSO2 Proxy details are shown below:
The proxy is ready now to accept an incoming connection and we will monitor Arduino sensor.
Arduino Web server and Temperature sensor
It is time to implement the Arduino sketch that reads the temperature sensor and makes the data available using a web server. Of course, to make the project working it is necessary to have an ethernet shield.
The code is similar to the Arduino starter book. The sketch is very simple:
The Arduino code is very simple:
void loop() { // Is there a client (Our Android smartphone) EthernetClient client = server.available(); // Read temp int sensorVal = analogRead(3); float vSens = (sensorVal /1024.0) * 5.0; //Serial.println(vSens); float temp = (vSens - 0.5) * 100; //Serial.println(temp); if (client) { // Let's start reading boolean isLastLine = true; boolean isBody = false; header = ""; reqData = ""; int contentLen = 0; Serial.print("Client connected!"); boolean currentLineIsBlank = true; while (client.connected()) { if (client.available()) { char c = client.read(); if (c == 'n' && currentLineIsBlank) { // send a standard http response header client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK"); client.println("Content-Type: text/xml"); // the connection will be closed after completion of the response client.println("Connection: close"); client.println(); // output the value of each analog input pin client.println(""); client.print(""); client.print(temp); client.print(""); break; } } } // give the web browser time to receive the data delay(1); // close the connection: client.stop(); Serial.println("client disconnected"); client.stop(); }
The code is very simple, arduino board reads the temperature sensor using the analog PIN and when the arduino web server receives an HTTP request, it responds with the temperature sensor value in an XML format.[bctt tweet="Implement an #IoT Architecture using #ESB #Android and #Arduino" username="survivingwithan"]
Monitor Arduino sensor using Android app
Finally, it is time to implement the android app that makes an HTTP request toward ESB and read the temperature sensor data using arduino board.
The android app is very simple, it is implemented using material design so it as a Toolbar and the temperature value.
The layout is shown below:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".MainActivity"> <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:id="@+id/toolbar" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:background="@color/primaryColor" android:elevation="4dp" app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark" /> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:id="@+id/temp" android:text="--" style="@style/tempText"/> </RelativeLayout>
public void doRequest() { initClient(); Request req = new Request.Builder() .url(URL) .get() .build(); client.newCall(req).enqueue(new Callback() { @Override public void onFailure(Request request, IOException e) { } @Override public void onResponse(Response response) throws IOException { try { String body = response.body().string(); Log.d("AA", "resp [" + body + "]"); JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(body); float data = (float) obj.getDouble("temp"); ((DataListener) ctx).notifyData(data); } catch(Throwable t) { t.printStackTrace(); } } });
Running the android app the result is shown below:
At the end of this post, you know how to monitor Arduino sensor from your smartphone using an ESB proxy.

Astiz complained about prison conditions and argued that the charges against him should always have been tried by a military, not civilian court.
Editora general de Perfil.com
Until now the human rights trials of the crimes against humanity committed by the 1976-83 military dictatorship have centred on disputing the rights and wrongs of that regime's campaign against "subversion" four decades ago but last week disgraced former navy commander alfredo astiz brought the debate into the present day by voicing his own opinions about the missing person of today, Santiago Maldonado.
Astiz repudiated the ongoing investigation into Maldonado's "forced disappearance." The human rights offender, already convicted for the deaths of two French nuns and the Swedishargentine teenager Dagmar Hagelin and now facing a third trial for the atrocities committed at the former ESMA naval engineering academy, asked why everybody was debating whether or not "a Border Guard chucked a stone" when he saw the real issue as the "usurpation" of argentine territory by Mapuche "secessionists" on the basis of "fictitious ancestral claims."
The war against terrorism is never won, astiz railed, but continues today in the face of the challenge posed by the Mapuche resistance movement.
In a statement lasting some 90 minutes, astiz complained about prison conditions and argued that the charges against him should always have been tried by a military, not civilian court. He was harshly critical of the numerous trials against him, which have now been proceeding for several years.
"The ultimate degree of perversity is to use the law to serve injustice," he said. the trials for crimes against humanity are "the last stage of judicial terrorism," he continued in that vein. "i shall never apologise for defending my fatherland."
During the dictatorship, astiz infiltrated the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo group and collaborated on the murder of its first leader, azucena Villaflor, in 1977.

New compact ArcWorld cells for robot-based arc welding
01. August 2019
The ArcWorld cell formula for success is simple: the MOTOMAN robot, positioner, controller and power source are grouped on a single platform – saving space and immediately ready for use. This allows the robot cell to be moved quickly and easily as required. It is also very easy to install and operate. The two new and so far most compact members of the product family now offer these advantages in a minimum of space: The ArcWorld RS Mini requires only 2.3 m² of floor space, the ArcWorld HS Micro only 1.4 m².
The compact cells thus offer a flexible, space-saving and cost-effective option for entry into automation or as a supplement to manual welding systems.
A manually operated turntable allows parts to be loaded while the workpieces are machined in the cell. This reduces downtime and increases part throughput.
Complete cell with housing, robot and welding package
Both compact cells are supplied complete with platform and housing, robot, welding package and all necessary accessories. The polycarbonate anti-glare housing completely encloses the robot and welding package, guaranteeing all safety standards. Welding packages from Kemppi (A7 Mig Welder 350), Esab (Aristo Mig 400i Pulse), Fronius (TPS 320i), Migatronic and other manufacturers are available on request. Each welding package contains a welding power source, the necessary cables, the wire feed and a welding torch.
Robust robot – MOTOMAN AR900
The robot used is a MOTOMAN AR900. The robot – which YASKAWA has also been manufacturing directly in Europe for some time – not only offers a high level of path accuracy, it is also completely IP67 rated. It can therefore be used for welding and other automation tasks in harsh environments without further modifications. Its slim and curved design allows the manipulator to dive deep into work areas, while its smooth surfaces facilitate cleaning of the robot. Only one robot cable is required for the connection between the manipulator and the controller. The advantages of this solution are lower wear and reduced space requirements. What is more, the cost of maintenance and spare part stock is reduced.
The MOTOMAN AR900 is controlled by the current MOTOMAN YRC1000 controller, which is also included in the package. This extremely compact controller enables optimum use of space and contains helpful functions from over 40 years of experience that support the welding process.

Chris Pratt can't seem to stop making us smile lately — whether he's cropping his Passengers co-star Jennifer Lawrence out of photos on Intstagram or blowing everybody away with an amazing magic trick. So it was only a matter of time before he stopped by The Tonight Show to have a little fun with Jimmy Fallon, just in time for Christmas.
The game Jimmy chooses for them to play is "Mad Lib Theater," made famous last month in a very silly interrogation scene with Benedict Cumberbatch. This time, there's a yuletide twist. Chris plays Santa Claus while Jimmy is an elf suspected of stealing a toy. Before the sketch begins, Jimmy asks Chris to help him fill in the blanks on a game of Mad Libs to form the script.
Chris makes quite a few risqué word choices, and the resulting scene has both of them giggling.
"I was with Pickles," Jimmy the elf says in his defense. "We were listening to The Roots' holiday album and making snow gerbils."
"Hmm, then why did Rudolph see you spanking on the roof?" Santa Pratt wonders. It's safe to say this isn't the version of Christmas most of us grew up with.

Mark 6: 30-34
"My" dog, Jabba, is a pest. At times, when I come into the house from work, I want to go to my room, be in solitude and silence to rest with God in prayer, or read a book. Jabba will begin to follow me upstairs to my room, and then she will go ahead of me. By the time I get to my room, she has made herself comfortable on the bed.
She watches me. She waits. Waits for what? Jabba wants either food or a walk. She has been alone in the house for a while and wants some attention. Usually, she wants to go outside for a walk. I look at her. She cannot open the door for herself to go outside. She does not know how to walk about unleashed without bothering either other dogs, or passing cars. She can be a pest when she is taken for a walk, WITH A LEASH!
I could ignore her and just pray or read, or rest. But Jabba is like a sheep without a shepherd. Without me she won't get a walk or be fed. No one else is home. I feel sorry for her. Sometimes I think that I am a fool to pay her so much attention. Other times, I have this gospel to make me feel better about attending to Jabba. Jesus was tired, as were his disciples. They had plans to rest up in a quiet place. Other people got there ahead of them. The place was no longer quiet or peaceful.
Jesus could have ignored the people or told them to go away. "Make an appointment," is what I might say, which is the alternative to, "Go away for now." Jesus had compassion on these people who came unexpectedly into his life. He put aside his agenda and attended to their agenda. So maybe when I put aside my agenda and attend to Jabba's agenda, I am following Christ. Jabba just might be teaching me how to grow in holiness.

God's Presence
To me, God is just as present in each Christian person as God is present in the Eucharist. But why is this so hard to comprehend, and why do many Catholics not believe it? We will go to the church and sit in front of the tabernacle with great reverence and awe. We hold the Eucharist in great respect and this is all as it should be. Why do we ignore or act badly toward another person?
God is very wise, or as some would say, All Wise. In the sacred host in the tabernacle or on the altar, God does not interfere with my will, or my plans, or even say anything about how I think life ought to be. I chose to come to the church. God did not force me. God is here. God waits. God feeds us.
On the other hand, people interfere with my will and my plans. They disagree with how I think things ought to be. So I find it hard to see God as present in them in any significant way. What is my problem? "Die to self," is a suggestion. It is the Gospel, not my opinion.

Internal Bickering
In Matthew 9: 32-34 Jesus has just cured someone. A religious leader complains that Jesus "drives out demons by the prince of demons." Jesus and the religious leader are members of the same religion. Why do people in the same belief system complain about one another? It seems that nowadays if you don't agree with a person's theology, or religious politics, or sense of how to be church, you are demonized. "Call the bishop!" This is what the complainer does. I guess it is better than getting crucified.
Monday, July 6, 2009
Doubting Thomas: Why do I believe in resurrection? Thomas is why. The disciples in John 20: 24-29 never said that they had seen God or Christ. They said they saw the "Lord," a title given Jesus before he died. Thomas wanted to see the real flesh and blood resuscitated Jesus. Had he not seen Lazarus resuscitated? Thomas thought that if he could put his fingers into the flesh wounds, then he knew it was no vision or phantasm the disciples saw. When he saw Jesus, he did not even try and put his fingers into the wounds. He said "My God." He saw a lot more than a resuscitated body. We call it resurrection.
Matthew 9: 18-26
There is touching and there is touching. In Matthew 9:18-26 there is a short piece about a woman who has been sick for twelve years. She comes up to touch Jesus, but with a great deal of faith. She was cured. A lot of other people were pressing in on Jesus, touching him, but with no faith as this woman had. When I go to receive the Eucharist, I am touching Jesus. It is supposed to be a sacrament of healing for my suffering soul. Is it? Maybe it depends on what I bring to the table.
