145th General Congregation
October 8, 1965
The ecumenical council's completely revised schema on the missions offers a remedy for the modern crisis of the missionary conscience, Joseph Cardinal Frings of Cologne, Germany, declared in the name of "many missionary bishops."
The Cardinal outlined the agonizing question some missioners are asking themselves: If God can save men who remain outside the visible Church, why carry the Gospel to them?
The council Fathers, said these many missionary bishops through Cardinal Frings, should be grateful to the present schema for replying to the question. The schema stresses that the Church by its very nature is missionary and that the ultimate reason for all missionary activity is Christ's wish to unite the whole of mankind in a single people of God.
The same idea was taken up by Switzerland's Charles Cardinal Journet, who asked that the schema be even more explicit on the absolute necessity of missionary activity.
Echoing St. Paul, he cried: "Woe to me if I preach not the Gospel!"
Seven speakers at the council's 145th general meeting spoke on the mission schema. Five others, each with the support of at least 70 of their fellows, returned to the schema on the Church in the modern world, on which debate had been closed the previous day.
During the debates council Fathers completed the final six votes on amendments to the schema on Religious.
The temporarily reopened debate on schema 13, on the Church in the modern world, heard renewed demands for an international authority to help keep peace.
On the new missions schema, the generally favorable tones of the speeches contrasted sharply with the hostile reception a drastically truncated missions schema received at last year's council session.
Auxiliary Bishop Alfred Ancel of Lyons, France, was the first to speak on schema 13. He echoed many of the previous demands that the council issue an unqualified ban on war and call for creation of a genuine supranational authority to enforce it. This, he said, is required by the common good of the human race.
He said that while such a ban seems to some like a condemnation of patriotism and a slight to the memory of those who gave their lives for their countries, nations which reject war are bound to be blessed many ways.
To the objection that a conciliar ban on war would be useless because no one would pay any attention to it, Bishop Ancel replied that the effectiveness of the council's declaration would stem from the fact that the council, acting in the person of Christ, would be bearing witness to truth before the world.
However, he said, without a supranational authority the council's efforts to create a lasting peace would be frustrated.
Bishop Jean Rupp of Monaco thanked the council Fathers who had signed his petition to speak after cloture, and thereby had saved him "from falling into the abyss."
He complained that while the text is garrulous at points and at others touches dangerous political questions, it is silent on the unimpeachable right of men to emigrate.
He said that some hundred council Fathers (presumably those who had signed his petition) find the text is paternalistic and naturalistic.
Bishop Luigi Faveri of Tivoli, Italy, who got the required number of signatures from fellow Italian bishops, said the text's central weakness lay in its failure to establish charity at the very center of its exposition. Charity, he said, is the soul of the Church.
Bishop William Philbin of Down and Connor, Ireland, made an allied complaint. He noted a lack of the evangelical spirit in the body and conclusion of the text. He said its didactic and philosophical characteristics, ignoring the Cross and giving the impression that simply to enlighten minds is quite sufficient, savored to him of Pelagianism.
(Pelagianism, named after the British monk Pelagius who propounded it at the start of the fifth century, was based on the insistence that a man had to take the initial and basic steps toward salvation by his own efforts apart from the aid of divine grace. The heresy was refuted by St. Augustine, denounced by several popes and condemned by the Ecumenical Council of Ephesus in 431.)
Bishop Pierre Boillon of Verdun, France, recalled that France had been ravaged by the destruction of war three times in the past century.
The council press bulletin paraphrased him as follows:
"While the text really does condemn war, it is so intermingled with distinctions as to become almost ineffective. The difference between war as envisioned by the theologians of old and war as it exists today is so great that even though the same term is used, the reality underlying the term is completely different.
"People speak today of 'conventional' arms as if they were less destructive than others. In the diocese of Verdun, 1.3 million people lost their lives exclusively as a result of warfare with 'conventional' arms. Does this not indicate that it is to no purpose to distinguish the nature of weapons today?
"In the same way, a distinction is made between belligerents and non-belligerents, attributing special rights to the latter category — forgetting that belligerents are likewise human persons."
He denied any validity to the distinction between major and minor wars.
Bishop Boillon told the council that at that moment women of various nations were making a 10-day retreat of prayer and fasting in a Rome convent to ask God's guidance for the council Fathers in their deliberations on banning war and safeguarding peace.
(Dorothy Day, leader of the Catholic Worker movement in America, was among those 20.)
After these five speeches on schema 13, Archbishop Gabriel Garrone of Toulouse, France, read the council the concluding report of the commission on schema 13. He said that, although the schema had been greatly lengthened at the request of the council Fathers at the preceding session, it now would be shortened according to the wishes they expressed in the debate just concluded.
He said the commission felt there should be no change in the status of the schema — it now is a constitution — lest the document's authority be weakened.
He also said the commission would attempt to improve the style of the Latin text. Various senses of the word "world" would be clarified. Concerning atheism, he said the commission was unwilling to give the impression of attempting to treat an intricate subject thoroughly in a very short space.
He admitted there was a grave defect in the text's failure to show a clear connection between parts one and two, and said efforts would be made to correct this.
Cardinal Frings then spoke favorably on the schema's reply to the question: Why the missions?
The next speaker was Bernard Cardinal Alfrink of Utrecht, the Netherlands. Speaking in the name of the Dutch hierarchy, he complained that the schema was too hierarchical. The text seems, he said, to imply that missionary activity is limited to the hierarchy and that the role of the laity is exclusively one of cooperating with bishops and priests.
But unlike Cardinal Frings, he asserted that the schema is not sufficiently forceful in explaining the reasons for the Church's missionary apostolate.
Cardinal Journet, after asserting that the Church is subject to the new law of preaching the Gospel to every creature, said it would be erroneous to think that today's plurality in religion is a part of God's plan. Missionary activity is not optional for the Christian but an urgent precept, he said.
Bishop Martin Legarra Tellechea for Bocas del Toro, Panama, said that Religious orders and congregations deserve the Church's gratitude for their work in the missions. But, he noted, there seems to be a new policy of the Holy See in erecting mission jurisdictions because in the official document erecting an independent prelature no mention is made of the Religious order to which that territory is entrusted. It is not clear, he said, whether jurisdiction is conferred upon the order or upon the territorial superior. Bishop Legarra said that because of the superior's need for financial assistance and missioners from his order, specific mention of the order should be made in the document erecting the jurisdiction.
Bishop Sisto Mazzoldi for Juba, who has been exiled from his See in the Sudan, suggested that the schema mention persecution in the Church's life. All missioners in southern Sudan, including himself, were expelled early in 1964.
Christ foretold and experience has shown that the Church would be an object of persecution, he said. It is of the essence of the Church that the mystery of the Cross should enable it to live daily in immolation and obedience unto death, even to the death of the Cross, he stated.
But Bishop Mazzoldi insisted that there must be constant affirmation of the Church's freedom to carry out its evangelical mission.
Iowa-born Bishop Vincent McCauley of Fort Portal, Uganda, said missionary bishops in general approve the present schema, but he called it deficient in two respects.
It fails, he said, to mention the Blessed Virgin as a model and protector for the missions — this despite the emphasis other conciliar documents place on her role in the lives of the laity, Religious and priests.
It also fails to give sufficient emphasis to the role of the sacrament of Confirmation in mission areas, he continued. Bishop McCauley asserted that this sacrament is of prime importance in the missions because through it the laity are deputed to the apostolate by Christ Himself.
Bishop McCauley spoke in the name of the East African Episcopal Conference.
Bishop Rudolf Koppmann of Windhoek, Southwest Africa, said the text lacked logical order. Discussion of missionary training, he said, first takes up tangential subjects and only afterward does it deal with primary subjects such as missionary theology.
He said the schema says nothing of the presence of evil in the world or of the reality of the devil. Those who have seen such things at first hand, he said, know what an obstacle rampant vice can be to the spread of the Gospel.
He warned that unless missionary activity is motivated properly, it can degenerate into false humanism.
He also called for mention of the "scandal of the separation of the Churches" in order to issue a clear call to collaboration. He said collaboration or non-collaboration will have important effects for good or for bad.
The day's opening Mass was celebrated in the Coptic rite of Alexandria by Archbishop Isaac Ghattas of Thebes, Egypt. Students of this rite at Rome's Propaganda College served at the altar. The Gospel was enthroned by Coptic-rite Archbishop Paul Nousseir of Minya, Egypt. Gregorio Pietro Cardinal Agagianian was the moderator.

Every time you have ever tried to lose weight and failed, it's always because of the same reason.
Yes, always. It might seem to be something different every time, but all failed attempts can be traced to a single cause.
It's because you have a sickness that stops your success. The only reason you have not lost weight or lost weight and didn't keep it off is because of your sickness.
You aren't to blame for your lack of success; you're suffering from an insidious disease.
It's called Attitude Sickness!
Attitude sickness is the disease caused by negative self-talk. The longer you have talked negatively to yourself, the worse your case of attitude sickness will be and possibly that will make it harder to cure.
What's the connection between attitude sickness and ineffective weight loss actions? Well, some people think that a "verbal kick-in-the-butt" is the most effective way to motivate themselves. It's not! It's absolutely not, even if initially it might seem to make a positive difference. That's why the disease is so insidious. It's trying to convince you that you're not sick.
What makes negative self-talk so destructive? You and your accomplishments are products of your thoughts. When you don't maintain a healthy attitude it turns everything you try to do into the outcomes you want most to avoid.
If you see yourself as a person who is "overweight and will always be overweight despite all the self-butt-kicking you try to avoid it," that's who you will always be. The sickness is clever and it masks the truth. You won't recognize how your sick self-image undermines your progress every step of the way.
Instead of owning your actions you'll be blaming your lack of progress on people, things, and situations out of your control. You will look for the obstacles and when you find them you'll believe your own lies that tell you why there's no way around them. Then what happens?
You get sicker with negative self-talk. Attitude disease invades the part of your mind that hasn't been affected. It sickens your positive-thinking brain cells.
How do you know if you have attitude disease? Listen to what you say to yourself. If you hear these kinds of words, you'll know you're infected:
- Why don't you have any willpower?
- I lose about 20 pounds and then I can't lose any more.
- I start out good every morning and then blow it every night.
- I'm a junk food junky.
- I don't like any of the food that's good for me.
- I can't workout; what good is just walking?
- When I workout I get way too hungry.
- My whole family is overweight and I'm going to be just like them.
No matter how big of a case of the disease you have, it can be cured. It takes time and patience and the results are well worth the efforts!

Posts: 792
I just recently began reading the S.D. Perry novels again because it's been a while since I read through them all in order. This got me thinking that there are many questions I would like to ask Stephani. So I managed to get in touch and she was very kind to respond and agree to answer any questions the community may have. I have a whole bunch of questions I would like to ask, which I will gradually add to this topic. I thought I would start the topic now to give everyone a chance to add their questions while I complete mine.
Stephani also agreed to check out the site and has been extremley generous to give us her time. I will leave this thread open untill our next podcast at the end of January, so please dont hesitate to submit your questions!

Apart of thanking her for writing great novels to read and get lost in the Resident Evil world (I plan to get extra copies in case those I have get damaged), she did a might fine job writing.
1: How did Capcom get a hold of you to commission these stories?
2: Did they provide you much information to go by or did they say to you to fill in some gaps?
3: Would you think Capcom would ever commission you again to write more books?
I'll think more later.

Are you still a fan of the series?
Are you aware of how badly translated it is?
It's been said you have received exclusive Japanese material from Capcom to help write the novels, would you happen to still have it? How much of it did you use? Anything you didn't use?
How much say did Capcom have in what you could or couldn't do?
Do you like the Hollywood movies?

Speaking of him, if you still wrote RE novels, what would his views be on the current state of a world of Bio-terrorism?
Your book has been noted for plot holes due to lack of knowledge of the direction the series would take. If you could, would you rewrite them to better fit with the games?

My only questions for Stephani are:
Which book in the series did you enjoy writing the most?
Which book proved to be the most challenging creatively?

Wow this was completely unexpected but much appreciated. I own all the novels but sadly never bothered to read any. My main driving force for buying them back then was I thought they were canon. I was pretty much sold on Caliban Cove alone since I desperately wanted to find out what became of Rebecca. Once I found out they were not canon I kinda just lost my motivation to read them.
Hopefully this reignites my passion for taking the time to read and enjoy them despite following an alternate telling of the events. I still kept all of them in pristine condition.

You really should give them a go Samurai Edge. When playing the games again I sometimes forget whats canon and whats non canon when it comes to the characters backgrounds and personalitys. Since we are given very little of this information by Capcom SD Perry gives a whole lot more in terms of character personalitys and background. At the end of the day there is canon but that doesn't mean that you can't use your imagination and deleve into the characters and make up your own mind about who they are and what you like about them or in this case use other information wether thats fan fiction or non canon. I love reading these books for that reason it helps make the characters feel more real because I am getting more information I can use to make them more real, just because its non canon doesn't mean you can't use elements of it to help you fill in the bigger picture in your own head.
Another reason I love the books is because unlike some certain movies they do stay true to the games and dont wander to far from the path. Its fun to revisit the Spencer estate or Raccoon City again in your own head. You can use your imagination to put yourself in these enviroments again especially since we all know what they look like. I think SD does a fantastic job of describing the enviroments and knowing exactly where you are.
Seriously I recomend them to anyone who has not read them. If you go into them knowing they are non canon shouldn't mean you still can't enjoy the ride. Just enjoy the book and take from it what you will like myself I have fun imagining about the characters and placing myself in the settings.

More questions:
3: Out of all the books, which one did you really enjoy writing and which one gave you a headache?
4: Are you still contact with Capcom to this day?

I have some questions.
1. Has Capcom asked if you could write more novels based on the recent games?
2. Have you seen any of the Resident Evil movies and which ones are your favorites?
3. Did Capcom restrict you from covering anything in your novel or did you have a lot of control?
4. Which novel is your favorite and did you have fun writing the novels?:D

I wasn't expecting this! An interview with S.D. Perry from a site that prides itself on featuring only canon entries into the series. Does someone on the staff here know something we don't? So my question stems from this debate - what does the author think about the canon issue, was it a concern when she first undertook to write in the RE universe, and does she feel her critics in this debate have been silenced by the recent inclusion into the canon of one of her own book inventions?
Take the Green Herb?

Great work CrimsonElder, S.D.Perry very rarely gives interviews regarding her work with Capcom, I know of only one previous interview. I have in the past grouped these novels in the same catagory as the non-official, integrity destroying films by Paul Anderson, which in reflection is not just harsh, it's factualy inaccurate because unlike those attrocious B-movies, the novels do follow the true narrative of the games to a significant extent, and have had standalone original content since confirmed by Capcom as canon. This is the issue I would like to explore with our special guest, and would also like to know of her own Resident Evil background and experiance.
Jessica... Lisa... Forgive me. May god justify my death in exchange for your safety.

Resident Evil 0 is one of my favorite games across the entire series and any canon information that extends the background stories of the characters I can't get enough of, so I also excitedly bought Zero Hour and Caliban Cove, only to be hugely disappointed to find out they weren't canon back then. I'm not sure about now though, Caliban Cove could be seen as a continuation of Rebecca's canon now that Capcom have included parts of S.D. Perry's fiction into the official RE timeline. Does anyone who follows these matters closely know what the official status now is for all or some of these novels? Are they all canon, or just the parts that Capcom pick from time to time when it suits them?
S.D. Perry also writes in the science fiction genre for the Aliens, Predetor and Star Trek universes. Which universe does she most enjoy writing for and why, and if the answer is not Resident Evil, why not?!
I will have my revenge on Umbrella!

Thanks for all the questions so far everyone I am really excited about getting the answers and learing about these novels because considering how many times I have read them I know next to nothing about their background.
I noticed that both Morpheus and James have mentioned about elements of the novels being canon? I understand that Barry's wifes name Kathy and Chris's parents dying in a car crash came from these novels. Is this what you are reffering to? I am curious if there is more which is a big reason why I am reading these again now.

I was going to ask which book proved most difficult to write, and whether it was more of a challenge to write a book which was aligned to one of the main game installments, or an original one which had no direct connection with a game from the series? Was it more enjoyable to write a narrative that you could have complete freedom with?

I absolutely loved her RE and RE3 novel.
1.- Did you ask Capcom if Nicholai died in the game?
2.- Did you have plans to adapt the rest of the games?
3.- What was your end game plan with Trent?

Looking forward to the interview! I loved City of The Dead and Nemesis; but I was underwhelmed with Trent, he was so anticlimactic.

Just an update on the interview.
The thread is coming along great thanks to everyone who has taken part so far. Danelle has been a great sport with us and very kind to give us her time. I have a ton of cool questions for Danelle which I cant wait to read the answers for. I believe that we are leaving the deadline for the questions open until December 23rd upon that date I will be editing them and sending the questions to Danelle so she can get started on her responses. They will then be released as GT mentioned sometime in January. So if you have any questions left in you please try and get them to us by the 23rd.

More questions, I'll add more if my friends give me them.

I also have a question about that moment Arin. My theory's are that either it is just a line Wesker used to get under Chris's skin being his sister and all. Or the much more sinister Wesker has a thing for Claire simply because she is related to Chris. Almost like how when he kept Jill alive after they where finished with experimenting on her in RE5 just so Chris could witness her on his side and break his heart.

5th Floor Productions will present the musical, which will run downtown through Aug. 9 at Teatro Circulo and — "befitting its cult following and risqué source material" — will offer both evening performances and late-night shows.
Directed by Nikki DiLoreto, the production will star Mikah Horn as Debbie with Stefanie Miller, Katie Perpall, Nicole Hale, Megan Fleming, Matthew Paul Hill, Michael Gioia, Charlie Stoop, Parker Krug and Chris Rehmann.
Here's how the musical is billed: "The most important theatrical event of the twenty-first century, Debbie Does Dallas is a modern morality tale told as a comic musical of tragic proportions in the language of the rodeo-porno-football circus. The show is the coming-of-age story of an all-American small-town sweetheart named Debbie Benton, the captain of her high-school cheerleading team, who dreams of making it to the big time by becoming a Texas Cowgirl Cheerleader. When Debbie receives a letter telling her she has qualified for the professional squad, the only thing that stands between her and the realization of her dream is bus fare to the big city: Dallas.

Alexander Fleming first discovered penicillin in the laboratory in 1928. There were medical trials throughout the 1930s. In 1942, Merck's first commercial batch of the lifesaving antibiotic, a precious five and a half grams of it (half the entire stock of the United States) was used on a patient with streptococcal septicemia. By 1950, it was in mass production and its price had fallen to four cents a dose, the same as one-sixteenth of a gallon of milk.3 It was not just that this flood of innovations existed but that so many people could afford them. As the economic historian David Landes observed, Nathan Meyer Rothschild, the richest man in the world of his time, died in 1836 for want of an antibiotic to cure an infection.4 This is what GDP growth consists of. So what was going wrong by the late 1960s, a decade that ended with students in the streets throwing stones and crude Molotov cocktails at the police, workers on strike, power cuts, and citizens hoarding food?
You can try this for yourself on websites that allow you to create a personal ISEW, giving different components weights according to your personal priorities; I could not make the index match GDP growth no matter what weights I tried.36 Besides, although it is useful for everyone to be able to create their own policy target, depending on how much they care about crime rather than clean rivers, so they know for whom to vote in the next election, the published official statistics need to be impersonal, not personalized. The alternative indicators also err in only subtracting from measured GDP. In addition to adding in the value of household production, they ought to be adjusting the measure upward to take account of the improvements that come from innovation. These are difficult indeed to measure. How could one begin to estimate the impact on society's welfare of new products such as antibiotics in the 1940s, or central heating and air conditioning, or the Internet and mobile phones? Earlier, we saw how hard it is to capture quality improvements in some items in GDP. In chapter 6 I'll return to the challenge of measuring innovation and the variety of products and services available. For now, it's enough to acknowledge that, as the economic historian Brad DeLong expresses it, "Modern growth is so fast it's off the scale."37 Although GDP does not measure welfare directly, it does contribute to it and is highly correlated with things that definitely do affect our well-being, such as life expectancy and infant mortality.

Since 1990, the TB mortality rate has dropped by nearly half. Since 2000, the number of people dying from malaria has been reduced by a quarter, and so has the number of AIDS deaths since 2005. Some figures seem almost too good to be true. For example, 50 years ago, one in five children died before reaching their fifth birthday. Today? One in 20. In 1836, the richest man in the world, one Nathan Meyer Rothschild, died due to a simple lack of antibiotics. In recent decades, dirt-cheap vaccines against measles, tetanus, whooping cough, diphtheria, and polio have saved more lives each year than world peace would have saved in the 20th century.14 Obviously, there are still plenty of diseases to go – cancer, for one – but we're making progress even on that front. In 2013, the prestigious journal Science reported on the discovery of a way to harness the immune system to battle tumors, hailing it as the biggest scientific breakthrough of the year.

Rovers Player caught up with new Assistant Manager David Williams about his move to Doncaster
Welcome to Doncaster Rovers, What made you come here in the first place?
Well I've known Brian for a long time; we were working for several years with Wales. With what they call the intermediate teams, the 21's, 19's, 17's and that was a good working relationship.
Unfortunately I thought the Welsh FA made a very poor decision and Brian was relieved of his duties nearly 12 months ago now. That obviously left me out of football which was something that, at first, I wasn't too concerned about because I'd actually semi-retired in 2007.
When he came on to me and told me there was a possibility he was going to be put in charge of the club for a period of time, and whether I would I fancy coming to the end of the season I said yes I'll take it on.
So there was never any doubt about swapping the golf course or the beach?
It's one of those things that you have to make a yes or a no decision and I think I would have regretted saying no. I've come back into the game again now to see if the buzz is still there and see how I get on with it - so far so good.
How has the first week been for you?
It's been very good, I've been very impressed with everything that I've come across, the players have been very responsive, they work hard and they are a good group. The facilities here are very good, I went to the Keepmoat the other night for the England game and had a look round there and you can't help be impressed with that - all in all very good.
You've talked about your connection to Brian in the Welsh set up but you've got quite a big back catalogue in terms of the teams you've coached haven't you?
Yes, I think football very often throws up people that are nomadic, you get around a little bit and I've lived over in East Anglia and the South coast in Bournemouth and eventually funnily enough I've settled just up the road in Harrogate.
I had a spell at Leeds United for 2 years , but you do, you get round the clubs a little bit and I've had some international experience as well with the senior team as well as the teams I worked with Brian, so I've been around the block a couple of times.
Manchester United as well I understand?
Yes I had 5 years at Manchester United as a youth team coach.
So any of the current crop, that you may have worked with, that people would know?
Some of them are there and some have moved on, Darren Fletcher would probably be the one who is there at the moment who most people would know, but you could go through a whole list of names, O'Shea and Ritchie Wellens who was here, Wes Brown, David Healy, Kieran Richardson, it's amazing you forget at times until you see a team play and then you see a team sheet and think 'Oh yeah'.
But football is like that generally, you mix and match, it's like a small village and you come across people all the time.
Are there any reunions at Rovers you've come across yet?
Well Chris Brown was down at Norwich, when I was down there in 04 to 07, I was working with the youth team again there, I came across him around the club but he was one of the seniors obviously with the first team. David Cotterill as well, he was with the Welsh team with Brian and I, so those are the two that I would probably know the most.
So with you, would you say your passion is youth development?
No not really, the first youth team job I took was at Manchester United and I had 5 years there and then I went back into youth team football for three seasons at Norwich but prior to that I had been player/manager at Bristol Rovers at 28 and I'd always worked at senior level with the first team and that was the case at Bournemouth and at Everton and at Leeds so I'd always worked with senior players.
I've had a lot of experience at senior level but perhaps not for a long time now.
People talk about modern day football, in your opinion is it still the same game?
The group of players we have here at the moment, if you think of them being in the third tier of English football, they are better players now then the third tier of English football that I can remember. I think things have moved on, they are fitter they're stronger, they're quicker, technically better, so I think there has been quite an advancement yes.
That's probably more to do with the background support and the nutrition and that kind of thing?
Yes, I think Brian and I would have a laugh from time to time about the things with Wales because we remember it as players when there was a manager and an assistant and maybe a physio.
When we used to travel there was people all over the place, which was good of course it was the right way to go, and I think it's the same at club level now you get people who help out with the sport science and people who do the weights and a goalkeeping coach. All these are positions now that at one time were never filled.
What about the fact that you're coming into a team that is gunning for promotion; it must be quite a nice carrot to have dangled as well?
Of course, you'd rather come in with a club that is at the top end of the table rather than with somebody that is struggling but it is an unusual position as I'm sure Brian admitted himself.
Most clubs that change their manager its when there is a problem, so whoever comes in has got to deal with those problems and sort them out, obviously it's a different situation here, Dean has done a good job in getting this team towards the top of the table and hopefully we can help push them over the final finishing line over the next few weeks.
How does it work on the training ground with you and Brian, who's doing the work and which type of work?
Brian has been happy for me to come in and just get on with it really, and that might be just because its important for me to get to know the players as early as possible. We had a good relationship obviously in the past with Wales, he knows what I can deliver on the training ground, I know what he can do on the training ground, and between us we'll sort that out.
You've talked about your experience of working with young players, what is your impression of the young players that are here?
The one's that I have come across are the one's that are up with the senior squad. They are young players but they are up with the senior squad and they have fitted in very well. They don't stand out as young players in the way that they might be a bit naïve or so on. They have mixed in very well. If you'd asked me if I'd watched them or worked with them I possibly wouldn't have been able to pick out the one's who were considered the young players.
As for the actual group of youth team players or scholars, it is too early for me to comment on those, but the one's that are working in the first team group look good.
Would you like to work with the younger players as this job goes on?
No, I think the thing that has tempted me back a little bit is working at first team level, so I think that's probably where I'll keep myself.

I'm a new user of Re:load Pro. Thank you very much for your beneficial project.I've updated newest firmware v1.10 and found out current stability improved much better than v1.9. However, I still want to disable software feedback because I'm recording the transition waveform. Repeatability which might be disturbed by software feedback is much more important than accuracy of long term average current.
Can I disable it? Are there any debug command to test it?Any your suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Scout's Honour
Last weekend, Wintergarden Pictures took a full company excursion to Young, NSW to scout locations for the short film Cherry Season. With over six locations required, Director Joshua Longhurst and Director of Photography Emma Paine searched the town to find the perfect places to tell the story.
For Joshua, who grew up in Young, the trip was a chance to use his innate connection to the town to find unique spaces that express the emotion of the scenes. "Young is a distinctive place that is full of rugged charm," he noted, "as filmmakers, we are spoilt for choice when looking for locations full of character and colour."
Cherry Season uses the small town location as a character in itself. From the local supermarket to the last roadhouse before the highway, the audience will go on a tour of Young as Shantelle searches for her sister, Tamara. Her journey begins in the afternoon and progresses into the night, which presents a perfect opportunity to showcase a country sunset (weather permitting, of course).
In fact, the oranges and pinks of the sunset are the inspiration behind the colour palette Emma is intending to create. As Shantelle drives around with Conners' in his shit box car, their faces will be caught by the bright colours of the town centre, painting a unique picture of rural Australia.
Whilst Emma and Joshua were tracking down the perfect locations to shoot, Cherry Season producer Rosie Braye was drumming up support among Young local businesses for the week of production. When over twenty cast and crew arrive in Young, we have no doubt that the hospitality of the town will go a long way to help make Cherry Season a reality.
Wintergarden Pictures is currently running a fundraising campaign for Cherry Season through the Australian Cultural Fund, to ensure that the short film has enough money for its post production expenses. If you would like to show your support for this exciting new short film, please visit our ACF page. All donations are tax deductible, and your generous donation will go a long way to making a unique story.

Mixed Emotions Over Murphy
- Details
- Category: Volume 90 (Fall 2017 - Spring 2018)
- Published: 06 December 2017
- Written by JUSCELUCIO DASILVA, JR. | CONTRIBUTING WRITER
As New Jersey prepares to inaugurate its new Governor-elect, Phil Murphy, many are approaching his election with uncertainty due to his stance on the legalization of marijuana.
Murphy has said that he would sign a bill to legalize marijuana within his first 100 days in office and it would be beneficial to the state.
"Phil Murphy definitely represents a turn away from [Governor] Christie's policies," Stephen Chapman, Ph.D., an assistant professor of the political science, said. "This is not surprising for a couple reasons. First, NJ is a Democrat-leaning state that hasn't voted for a Republican in a presidential election since 1988. This gives Murphy an advantage from the start. However, there is a diversity of ideology throughout the state level, which is why we've seen more alternation between [Democrats] and [Republicans] at the state executive position," he added.
In his 2017 gubernatorial campaign, Murphy ran on a platform of changes that he hoped to bring to New Jersey, such as getting tough on gun violence and protecting women's rights and the rights of undocumented immigrants, such as the DREAMers, as well as the rights of the LGBT community. "I'm glad that Murphy will be a governor who ensures the rights of women, immigrants, and the LGBT community," Roxy Nicoletti, a sophomore biochemistry student said.
On his campaign, Murphy had noted that after the Recession in 2000, New Jersey was one of the slowest recovering economies and, therefore, believes that having more secure jobs with rising wages would help to revitalize the state's economy again. In addition, Murphy believes that legalizing and taxing the sale of marijuana would help to bring more revenue into the state government—which many feel apprehensive about.
Alexis Borrino, a sophomore education student, worries that by legalizing marijuana, the state is sending a "dangerous" message. "I'm definitely for decriminalizing marijuana; too many people are being imprisoned for just possessing marijuana, even if they do not use it themselves," Borrino said. "However, I think legalizing recreational marijuana is sending a dangerous message to New Jersey, especially to young people whom the policy appeals to. New Jersey is facing a huge opioid epidemic and I believe saying that marijuana is okay might give leeway for young people to try other, more lethal drugs," she continued.
Upon winning the Democratic primary nomination, Murphy justified his decision: "The criminalization of marijuana has only served to clog our courts and cloud people's futures, so we will legalize marijuana," he said. "And while there are financial benefits, this is overwhelmingly about doing what is right and just."
According to NJ.com, towns that will opt out of the selling or growing of marijuana will miss out on an estimated $300 million annual tax revenue that marijuana will generate.
Polina Amburg, a specialist professor in the Department of Nursing, explained, "There is some evidence indicating positive responses in patients taking medicinal marijuana. Marijuana is being prescribed for various reasons, but most common uses of the medicinal marijuana are for pain control."
Amburg also warns about some of the potential dangers of the drug. "I witnessed a young mother collapse in public due to her mixing marijuana and beer," she said. "I took care of a patient who developed severe psychosis and hallucinations as a result of taking marijuana. Another patient became very confused and disoriented after using marijuana." However, Amburg explains that while these may occur, they are not common.
Michael Milford, a forensic psychology student and a United States Air Force Special Operations Command veteran, explains that he has benefited first hand from the use of medicinal marijuana. "Medicinal Marijuana stabilized my life in all aspects. It's an all-in-one remedy for pain, anxiety, and PTSD," Milford said. "It's a natural alternative medicine, greatly appreciated over getting hooked on big pharmaceutical medications."
Researchers at the Arizona State University have also reported there is no negative effect on any measures of health, other than on the user's dental health. According to the researchers, marijuana users had "a higher incident of gum disease." However, this is only for chronic users. "Chronic marijuana use is about as bad for your health as not flossing," the Washington Post reports.
Additionally, a CNN report has recently come with the new potential use of marijuana for treating drug addiction. According to the report, treatment centers are using marijuana as a detox and a helpful protocol for those with extreme addictions. "With cannabis, there is no known lethal dose; it can be helpful for certain conditions," Joe Schrank, the Director of the Treatment Center at High Sobriety stated in the report.
Ultimately, their goal is not only to get drug addicts off their opioids, but also to reduce drug use in general.
In a drug fact sheet, the Drug Enforcement Administration has reported that there has been "no death from overdose of marijuana." Moreover, there is a significant difference between the deaths caused by prescription drugs, illicit drugs, such as cocaine and heroin, and opioids. In 2015, the National Center on Health Statistics reported 29,728 people died from prescription drugs and 21,823 died from illicit drugs. Opioids caused an astonishing 33,091 deaths in 2015, while marijuana caused zero.
Furthermore, in all of the years it has been used, no known deaths have been caused by marijuana. It is a drug that has not killed anyone, and yet comes with many benefits such as: treatment of multiple sclerosis muscle spasticity, cancer-relates pain, appetite stimulants in AIDS patients and for chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting, as Wynne Armand, M.D., a Physician at the Massachusetts General Hospital and an assistant professor in Medicine at the Harvard Medical School reported.
In response to Murphy's ambitions to legalize marijuana for its financial and medical advantages, current-governor, Chris Christie told New Jersey 101.5, "It's blood money; it's disgraceful and it's disgusting."

Bubbles on the surface of a liquid are held
together by surface tension. Let's look at
water... Because water molecules are polar (each
end has a different electrical charge), they are
attracted to one another. This attraction of
water molecules to each other is the source of
surface tension. Under the surface, a water
molecule share its attraction with molecules on
all sides of it. Water molecules on the surface
do not have other molecules on all sides of them,
so they share extra strong attractions with their
neighbors. This occurs whenever water is in
contact with air and is called surface tension.
Surface tension is what makes bubbles in water
round. The surface tension between water
molecules pulls them into the tightest package
possible, a sphere. As the surface tension pulls
the molecules together, the air inside pushes them
apart. Eventually, the pulling and pushing
reaches equilibrium, and the bubble stays the same
size. An exception to the rule is when bubbles
rise through water. The pressure on a bubble at
the bottom of a container of water is much greater
(the weight of the water pushes down on the
bubble) than the pressure on the bubble at the
surface. Therefore, bubbles at the bottom are
smaller than bubbles at the top. So, as a bubble
rises through a column of water, it will become
larger as it rises. You can probably think of
ways to experiment with this at home! Bubbles
in a glass container will adhere to the sides of
the glass because of the adhesive force between
water and glass.

How it Works
The process begins when you contact us. At the initial meeting, we will listen to your needs, evaluate your items, and provide you with a list of options. In a traditional onsite estate sale, we will prepare your property by cleaning, sorting, and staging everything. We will also conduct the sale and provide you with an itemized list of all sales. When the sale is over, if needed, we can clean out all remaining items. A few days later you will receive funds for your portion of the net proceeds.
In most events, the expenses of the sale come from the gross sales. After expenses, the net proceeds are paid out based on the contractual commission. The commission is typically between 35% and 50% depending on the amount of work necessary to complete the sale.


text:
Application fees
The application fee is $100 CND (non-refundable). Students from exempt countries will have the application fee waived automatically. No other exemptions will be granted. For a list of exempt countries please see the Faculty of Graduate Studies Exemption List.
International student differential fee
International Students are charged a Differential Fee in addition to the regular tuition fees. These Differential Fees can be financially supported by your Supervisor, but it is not a guarantee. This financial support is dependent on the funds available to the Supervisor.
Tuition fees
Tuition and fees information is available on the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research website for Canadian/Permanent Resident students and International students.
Living expenses
For a single graduate student, living costs in Edmonton can range from $10,000 to $13,000 CAD per year. If you have a partner, you should estimate at least $4,500 in additional expenses if your partner is not a student and an extra $2,000 to $3,000 for each child.
These figures do not include tuition, differential fees, or other related academic fees.
For more details and a breakdown of these figures, see the 'Fees and Funding' section of FGSR's Prospective Student Guides.
Please Note:
- The above living expenses information is a modest estimate.
- Figures and totals are subject to change without notice.
- Total does not include tax, tuition or thesis costs.
Although there is insufficient housing on campus for all graduate students there are many apartment and houses for rent nearby. To obtain accommodation on campus or near to the campus, you must apply well in advance. Students arriving from outside Edmonton who have not booked accommodation in advance are well advised to expect at least a week to search for permanent housing.
The University of Alberta Residence Services
Residence Services currently operates eight residence communities with enhanced learning environments, where academic success, involvement, community and leadership are the primary focus.
Michener Park
Located five kilometers south of campus, Michener Park provides housing for students with families. There are high-rise apartments, walk-up apartments and row-houses with semi-private yards opening into courtyards. The residence has playgrounds and a play school. It is close to shopping malls, schools and bus routes. The Department of Housing and Food Services provides a residence life program that addresses the needs of students with families.
Newton Place
Newton Place offers the privacy and space in which to create a comfortable home, but with convenient access to University libraries and facilities. Newton Place also offers a newly developed Community Centre, beach volleyball court, as well as a selection of ground-level retail shops. The apartment complex is designed to support the special needs of third and fourth-year undergraduates, graduate students and student couples.
University of Alberta Students Union Housing Registry
The University of Alberta Students Union Housing Registry publishes a list of rental accommodation throughout Edmonton. Many students use this service, and rate it as the best resource for finding off-campus accommodation. Information may be obtained at http://www.su.ualberta.ca/, in person in the lower level of SUB, or by phone at 780-492-4212.
The International Centre
The International Centre operates a housing registry which can be very helpful in locating suitable accommodation. A housing binder with ads from students and community members who wish to advertise rental accommodation is located at the International Centre. The binder is a good place to look for a roommate. International Students often use the International Centre's email network to look for roommates (see page for information). Sometimes some International student groups know of people looking for roommates. Contact numbers are available from the International Centre receptionist.
Other resources
- Advertisements in the Edmonton Journal and the Edmonton Sun.
- You can often find housing by walking around Strathcona or downtown where many apartments are advertised on signs in front of the buildings. Often these places are advertised in no other way.
- Bulletin boards on campus are usually a good source of ads for accommodation. Large boards are located in HUB, SUB, Lister Hall and CAB on campus.
- Kijiji
- Craigslist
Temporary Accommodation
Residence Services offers a number of options for summer and guest accommodation.
Hostelling International (10647-81 Avenue) is approximately $40-$90 per night.
Visit the International Centre for more suggestions on temporary accommodation.

text: Some Iranians suggest that Mir Hossein Mousavi may be arrested due to post-election turmoil [AFP] Earlier, the opposition expressed concern that the authorities were preparing to step up action against it after official media said pro-reform students had torn up a picture of Khomeini during a rally on Monday. 'Identifying culprits' Khamenei said that such opposition rallies were illegal and he urged authorities to identify "those behind the insult to Imam Khomeini". "We, as followers of Imam Khomeini, will not tolerate any shortcoming in identifying, trying and punishing those behind the insult and those who carried it out," Iran's Revolutionary Guards said in a statement. Some reformist websites have suggested that Mir Hossein Mousavi, the opposition leader, may be arrested, six months after his election defeat by Ahmadinjad plunged Iran into turmoil. But any detention of Mousavi, who advocated a return to Khomeini's fundamental values during his election campaign, may provoke new opposition demonstrations. Meanwhile, Mousavi has been quoted in the past as condemning the incident relating to the picture. Analysts say the internal crisis has further clouded prospects for any resolution of a long-running row with the West over Tehran's nuclear programme, which the United States suspects is aimed at making bombs. However, Tehran continues to deny any such claims. Khomeini led the 1979 overthrow of the US-backed Shah and remains widely revered in Iran. He died in 1989 and was succeeded by Khamenei as supreme leader, Iran's highest authority under its government system of clerical rule. SOURCE: Agencies

Dr. Ed Stroud, and his wife, June, had lived in the two story, eighteenth-century, block home for fifty-six years. The elegant home sat back from the street, accented by decorative and charming trees. The garden was reminiscent of a southern plantation with an assortment of various colored flowers that bloomed for every season and occasion.
Dr.Stoud had delivered many babies, but had been blessed with only one child of his own – Cathy, who was now an adult. Lately, the doctor and his wife had noticed the house had been very quite, but they were all right with the silence and thought the lack of noise was wonderful.
Recently, a man they did not know had been in and out of the house moving furniture, taking dishes, and other items out of cabinets. He carried furniture and other valuables from the rooms of the house, cleaned them, and examined them from top to bottom, stopping from time to time to get a book out of his pocket, and read awhile. Then he would carry whatever item he had in his hand back to the original room.
One day, June finally asked her husband, "Who is this strange man?"
"I think he is from the cleaning service Cathy talked of hiring, but I'm not positive. " Ed said.
"Well, look at the mess he left on the floor. I can certainly clean better than him."
Ed laughed. "You are so cute when you get mad. Now, be honest – isn't it nice to let someone else take care of us for a change?"
"Yes, I suppose you are right. I didn't realize I was so tired, but I can't even get up and clean up his mess. Look, he is pulling my quilts out of the chest! Do you think he is going to steal them?"
"I don't know what the man thinks he is doing with our quilts, but I will call Cathy as soon as possible. I am too tired to get up, but I'll call her after I rest awhile."
One day, the unknown man opened the door and allowed about twenty people to come inside the house. Immediately the people started picking up quilts, dishes, drapes, and even furniture. When they left and took the items, they gave the mysterious man money.
June asked. "Oh, what are they doing? This is disgraceful! What is happening?"
"I don't know, but somebody is going to bloody well pay for this! Look, he has my old albums. Hey, put them down! I am calling the police! I mean it!"
"Oh honey, my hair is a mess and I want to be presentable when the police get here. I haven't even dressed today."
"I know; I'm not dressed either, but I do hope I have on my best pajamas, and not those that are so thin you can see my butt crack. Do I have on good pajamas?"
"You always look good to me."
Throughout the rest of the day, the strangers took their furniture, clothing, dishes, and even June's jewelry out of the house. As they left, they always gave the unknown man money for what they took. Ed tried to tell the people that everything belonged to him and June, and not to the man they were giving the money too. But no one would listen to him. He pleaded with the strangers to leave their home, and he even cursed at some of the ill-mannered, bedraggled men and women jerking their possessions around.
Finally the strangers were all gone, and June and Ed tried to rest. Morning soon arrived and they went through another long, grueling day, as a new group of strangers entered their lovely home and left with most of the treasures June and Ed had accumulated throughout their lifetime. By the end of the second day, they were exhausted. When they said goodnight to each other that night, they were too tired to talk. They knew Cathy must be very sick, or she would be here and stop these people.
The third day dawned and June softly said. "I don't think I can take any more."
"I know honey, but I want you to leave the worrying to me. Haven't I always taken care of you?
The door opened, and Cathy walked in with the mysterious man from the cleaning service.
"Oh good, Cathy will set the terrible man straight!" June said.
"You're darn tooting she will; now we'll see what happens when Cathy discovers what this man has been up to."
But strangers continued to arrive and take items out of the house. Ed and June's hearts were broken because Cathy was helping the people vandalize their home. Soon all the people were gone except the unknown cleaning man, and Cathy. They were laughing and talking, but Ed and June couldn't hear one word.
Ed was thinking, "Cathy's actions are odd!"
At the same time June was saying to herself. "Cathy's behavior is strange!"
They saw Cathy pick up a velvet throw of June's and walk toward them. As Cathy run her hands lovingly over the portrait on the wall, she placed the throw over it, and suddenly everything went black for Ed and June.
After a short while, June asked. "Ed … do you think we are dead?"
Ed pondered the question for a minute, and then said. "Yes, my dear … I believe we are."
When they woke the next morning, their view was very enchanting, with the dappling rays of sunlight gleaming on the polished oak floor. There was even a huge bouquet of fresh flowers sitting on the coffee table exactly like the flowers that had grown in June's garden.
And from a portrait of Ed and June that hung on the wall in Cathy's living room came quiet conversation:
"Oh, how wonderful!" June said. Now, isn't this much better than being in a lonely house all by ourselves for eternity? And we can visit with Cathy every day. The house is so quiet and I will never have to clean."
"Yes my dear. We will be much happier here." Ed said.

The Bloomington Public Works Department has outlined plans for a focus on greenway and bike path development for the coming year, but leaders say they will have to do the work despite fewer staff.
During the final round of budget hearings before the Bloomington City Council Thursday night, Director of Public Works Susie Johnson pointed out creating more space for cyclists is already underway.
"Completion of the Allen St. Bike Boulevard, turning 4th street into a bikeway from Rogers all the way to the IU campus, building out Hawthorne and Highland as a greenway that goes from Winslow all the way to the IU campus, those are a few of the things," Johnson says.
But Public Works was not immune to personnel cuts, losing eight positions to early retirement and separation agreements. Only two of those positions will be re-filled.
Johnson says her department lost several valuable employees who worked for the city for more than 30 years.
"They were my mentors and I will miss them and their knowledge," she says. "Can we replace them, no but are we going be able to move forward and be aggressive and get the service delivery to the community that needs to be done, absolutely."
Council member Steve Volan commemorated the department for the progress being made to earn Bloomington a Platinum Bike Status, a label given by the League of American Bicyclists and shared by only three other cities in the country.

This week's Profile is Emily French of Philadelphia. Philly Fashion guru Catriona Whitehead tells us why Catriona is this week's That Girl.
What I like about this look?
This ensemble is feminine and practical. In case you haven't noticed, the winter to spring weather can be a little unpredictable. Her lightweight patterned dress and tan trench suggest spring, while her grey tights, brown suede boots, and trench protect her from winter's last clutches. Though her dress is silk and has a blousy cut (ideal for hot summer days), its deep grey background and tan detailing embrace winter's darkness without appearing drab. This young woman has also created a lovely array of browns. The tan trench brings out the tan detailing in her dress. The brown suede boots echo the brown buttons on her jacket. And her brown purse more or less matches the tone of her hair and glasses. She looks like a chic and rugged damsel.
Where could this outfit be worn?
This outfit is good for anything casual: shopping, dining out, going to a museum, going to class, etc.
Where can you buy this particular look?
A tan trench can be found at Burberry, Cole Haan, GAP, JCrew, LL Bean, London Fog, Old Navy, Overstock.com, Zappos.com, and many more retailers. An easy patterned dress like this one is best found at Anthropologie, Banana Republic, LOFT, ModCloth.com, Old Navy, ShopStyle.com, and Urban Outfitters.
Style tip?
My one styling tip would be to add a touch of color. A bright red, yellow, or blue belt around the waistband of the dress would look great! This will help to wake up the overall look a little bit.
