Royal Commission into Child Sexual Abuse is 'going to have an effect around the world': Catholic critic
ONE of the Catholic Church's most vocal internal critics has urged the Australian child abuse royal commission to push the church to change because "what you say and what you come up with is going to have an effect around the world".
"I believe what you are doing is unique in the world. It is historic. It is going to make a mammoth difference in the long run," said American Dominic priest Dr Tom Doyle during evidence on Tuesday, after more than 33 years of fighting for change from within the church.
"You have taken something on that is mind-boggling and you are going into it in a deeper, more enlightened, more courageous manner than any other body that I have had contact with."
Dr Doyle said the problem of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church was "not unique in Australia", but the royal commission was the strongest response from any nation.
He hoped the royal commission was "going to have a profound effect in the Vatican, and it is another pile of information that is saying what they do not want to hear".
He said the commission, and the Australian community, had an obligation to tell the church: "This is what we have found. You need to make some changes to make sure this doesn't keep happening, and those changes are structural."
Dr Doyle is a canon lawyer who wrote a report in 1984 about the need for a strong response from the church after a shocking child sexual abuse case in Louisiana, that he was told was hand-delivered to the then Pope John Paul II. Dr Doyle told the royal commission he was "exited" from his senior position after his report became public following civil action against the church by the family of one victim.
He became one of the church's most vocal, and most widely known, internal critic after meeting survivors of abuse, including a 10-year-old boy.
"When I looked into his face – I still see it. It was empty. And that moment changed my life. His parents were simple, good, decent people who could not comprehend why they were being treated the way they were by the church. They couldn't understand why this man had been shifted from one place to another to another and nothing was done," Dr Doyle told the commission.
The church's troubling and "very stultified comprehension of human sexuality" was a major factor in the child sexual abuse crisis, and led the church to commit "soul murder" of abuse victims, he said.
A Salesian Brothers leader and church theologian, Professor Francis Moloney, gave evidence at the second day of the final public hearing into the Catholic Church and urged commission chair Justice Peter McClellan to recommend that women should have a far more significant role in the management of dioceses.
It followed data about the extent of child sexual abuse across Australian dioceses and orders, released by the commission on Monday, that showed Adelaide diocese had the lowest rate of abuse. The commission heard Adelaide had had women lay people in senior diocesan roles with authority over priests since the 1980s.
Professor Moloney said former prime minister Julia Gillard deserved much greater credit for the decision to call the "historic" royal commission because it would not have been called by other prime ministers.
He was strongly critical of a "lurch to the right" by Sydney Archdiocese, under the then Cardinal George Pell, which meant seminaries training the majority of Australian priests had reverted to "the old system" where priests were taught they were "a caste set apart that is answerable to no-one except their peer group".
"A lot of people believe this is the solution to the problem – make them more clerical than ever. So we've got to face these truths," Professor Moloney said.
Psychotherapist and former consultant to the St John of God order, Dr Michelle Mulvihill, said the governance and structures of the Catholic Church permitted the abuse.
"It's all about power, isn't it? All roads lead to Rome. It's all about who's in charge," she told the commission.'
"We need to change the power balance. How many women are engaged in a place, in a misogynistic place, where women are told, 'You don't really belong here. We can give you a job, if you like. You can do the flowers'.
"I think it's time for us, as Australians, to stand up to Rome and say 'We are not little Rome. We are not little Italy. We are Australians, and in Australia we believe in a fair go'. It's time we all got a fair go. It's very much time victims got a fair go."
Dr Mulvihill resigned from consulting work to the St John of God order because: "I could no longer deal with the corruption and systemic abuse that was my experience of what was happening inside that organisation. I could do no more."
Australian Catholic University professor of theology Neil Ormerod described the church as a "clerical club", and said he was not aware of any seminary in Australia "where they actually look at the professional and ethical responsibilities of the power that they have as priests".
I am very honoured to be here, because I believe what you are doing is unique in the world. It is historic. It is going to make a mammoth difference in the long run. What you do and what you say and what you come up with at the end is going to have an effect around the world.Priest and abuse survivors' advocate Dr Tom Doyle.

Dynamic Business Presentations in Five Easy Steps:
Many of our clients come to us looking for tips on how to improve the success of their corporate presentations, and fast. While there's a lot of advice out there, some of it good, some of it bad, some of it unmentionably atrocious, the good news is that you can dramatically increase the quality of your business presentations with a few simple steps.
1) Set a Goal
What do you want to accomplish with your presentation? To pitch a new idea? To close a sale? You should be asking whether each slide or point is helping you achieve this goal. If it's not, it doesn't belong in your presentation.
2) Be Flexible
That's not to say that you can't be a little flexible. If you feel like your audience isn't getting it, or you're losing their attention, or they seem to be more interested in a different part of your presentation than you'd hoped, try changing it up, cutting sections on the fly, or answering their questions. It's great to be laser-focused in your preparation, but conversational and adaptable in the delivery of your corporate presentation.
3) Know Your Audience
Cater your presentation to your target audience—and that's not necessarily every person in the room, though the room dynamic can be a powerful factor in a successful business presentation. You should keep in mind their demographic, interests, even sense of humour when putting together your presentation.
4) Visualize Your Data
Right now, you might be thinking, No problem, I've got this handy chart. While charts certainly can be useful, you're missing out on a whole world of other data visualization options at your disposal if you pick a chart as your default graphic. Everyone in the business world has seen thousands of pie charts. Why not find a perfect visual metaphor, craft a dynamic animation or build a compelling infographic?
5) Make Your Slides Work For You
You rule your slides, not the other way around. It can be dangerously easy to let your slide deck dictate the structure of your presentation. Instead, figure out what story you want to tell, and build your slides to emphasize and enhance your message.
Need a super-cool info-graphic or custom slide show? Want to convert your old PowerPoint presentation into a dynamic Prezi? For all your presentation needs, call Presentation Geeks at 1-888-206-9525.

Today we saw how BMW is giving its drivers more information about how they can drive faster. Let me explain why measuring how fast you drive ends up in a crash, always.
Reader Thunder told a very familiar story of what happened when he realized he could measure his bike to his friend's house and time himself.
I'm reminded of middle school, when I was bicycling to a friend's house every morning before walking to school. I made that roughly 2 mile ride a personal challenge.
The important part is when I turned right off Clinton Street. That's where my route began a nice, steep downhill, then a relatively soft right onto Harts Hill Terrace, and another right onto Gilbert. Riding this every day, I pushed it a little more every time. There was never any traffic around there, so I was taking the whole road.
On the day in question, I was at what felt like warp 9 (probably somewhere around 30 MPH) on my mountain bike when I came whipping down that section... and discovered a Lincoln Town Car coming up Gilbert. I was going far too fast to tighten my turn and pass to the right of the car, so I veered left, onto a lawn.
Now, this is a nice, steep downhill section. The lawn was relatively flat... then I went across some terracing. Next, I shot across the driveway of that house, and hit one of the decorative rocks placed at the driveway's edge. That fired me into the air (still on the bike), right as the hill dropped away more steeply (at least 30 degrees down), giving me some impressive air. I passed between a tree and a stop sign, then crossed Norris Drive. I managed to stop on the far side of Norris Drive, and take stock of being alive.
I then looked back up the hill, where the Lincoln was now stopped, the driver staring back at me with eyes the size of hubcaps. I threw a wave, and continued on my way (probably a little shakily).
Here's the route: Old home to old friend's house
Reader Ark explained how this kind of thinking works on four wheels.
I've been down that road of keeping a stopwatch with you and seeing how fast you can do a particular stretch of country road.
Inevitably you start getting rather competitive with yourself and it ends with one of two things: You hugging a telephone pole, or you sitting at a stop sign realizing that you just cleared 12 miles of winding, shitty country road in 10 minutes flat and your brakes are so faded you can barely stop.
Then you start wondering if you can do it in 9.50...and that's when there's the telephone pole.
I myself used to have a great biking route that I loved to hammer through, until the day I brought a friend with a stopwatch along, and I lodged my helmet so hard into a pole that I got a concussion.
Once you start measuring G forces, once you start putting a stopwatch to driving, once you try to get a high score from your speedometer at a familiar corner near your house...it's only a matter of time before you crash.
Have you ever tried playing a high score game with yourself in a car? How did that end up?

O Lord, wean me!
O Lord, wean me now,
From the spirit of pride.
Why must I be proud?
Wean me Lord,
Before it becomes
too late
From the spirit of pride,
Do I have Power?
Is it absolute?
Lord, wean me now!
It is on record
in your Word,
that All authority
has been given
You in heaven
and on earth. (Matthew 28:18)
You are not proud.
Lord, wean me now!
Do I occupy a position?
Can I receive it, if it
had not come from heaven?
Lord, wean mw now!
Do I have wealth or
Is it by my might or
Wean me, o Lord,
You possess the earth
and all its fullness,
The world and those who
dwell therein.
Wean me, o Lord!
The Proud rich man
ended in hell
Lazarus, the poor but
humble in paradise,
Help me Lord.
Am I too old to serve the
young ones in my generation?
Am I too Big to do
"Little and filthy jobs" for You?"
Wean me Lord!
Does a veil cover my pride,
To accuse others of arrogance
When a cankerworm of pride
had eaten deep into my bones
and marrow?
Wean me o, Lord
Help me to turn a search light into
my heart,
To know and uproot that hidden
root of pride.
Wean me, o Lord!
Before it's too late
Because it may soon be late
In that you will come soon,
Do not meet me in such a state!
Lord, wean me now!
Help me Lord,
Let me not replace
You with myself in
The lives of people
Let me not replace You
with people in my life.

… so, my lung function today was up to 2 litres after last week's draining. I like going up 🙂 !!!!
… I've been told that since my CMV status is staying at 0 that the tentative release date for me is Aug 5th. I am however told that the two ID Doctors have differing theories on length of treatment, so it may still be longer. I'm told that "neither theory is wrong"…
… Jupiter repells/rejects/flings object out into the space atmosphere at a rate of 35 miles a second, faster than any bullet. This I learned from the history channel series called "Universe" which has captured my interest of late! Hey, I wonder if they do transplants in galaxies far far away!!!
… Lastly, August long weekend: Oh my, are we there already? Aug 3rd our band Lickin Good Fried plays in Stratford for the Stratford Summer Music Festival and classic car show! We're on at 4pm I believe.

Joburg – Gateway to Africa?
Johannesburg ranks as Africa's top city for doing business, according to surveys by companies including Z/Yen, AT Kearney, Citigroup and the Economist Intelligence Unit.
Its African rivals for investment include Lagos, Nigeria's overcrowded and congested commercial capital, where on average it rains 101 days a year, the daily maximum temperature reaches 31 degrees Celsius (87 degrees Fahrenheit) and power outages are a regular occurrence.
Nairobi, East Africa's main hub, is beset by violent crime, attacks by Islamic-inspired militants and nightmarish traffic.
South Africa accounts for about 22 percent of sub-Saharan Africa's output; together with Nigeria, they contribute 55 percent, World Bank data show.
Sub-Saharan Africa will grow 5.4 percent this year, three times more than the US and four times the rate of Brazil, according to International Monetary Fund forecasts.
Local Networks
"You can't be in every single country," said Marlon Chigwende, sub-Saharan Africa managing director for the Carlyle Group, the world's second-largest private-equity firm, which opened offices in Johannesburg and Lagos in 2011 and raised $698 million (R7.7 billion) for its first sub-Saharan Africa fund.
"What you've got to try and do is build local networks. Johannesburg is one of the easier places to do business across Africa. Lagos has infrastructure challenges, they have got power issues."
Goldman Sachs has more than 20 people based in Johannesburg, according to Colin Coleman, who was the New York-based bank's sole employee in South Africa when he joined in 2000 and now heads its operations for sub-Saharan Africa.
Johannesburg is "the capital-market centre for Africa," Coleman said.
"Eighty percent of all equity capital-market trading happens on the Johannesburg stock exchange. For access to management, capital and a good lifestyle, this is a great springboard. Most multinational companies are using Johannesburg as a base."
Gold Boom
Johannesburg, founded in the 1880s when the discovery of gold sparked a mining boom, dominates the province of Gauteng, which contributes a third of national gross domestic product of $316 billion.
The population of the city of Johannesburg, the metropolis' biggest component, rose to 4.4 million in 2011, from 2.6 million in 1996, two years after Nelson Mandela took power in the country's first multi-racial elections, census data shows.
The number of households rose to 1.43 million from 732,845 over the period, with the proportion of formal dwellings increasing to 81 percent from 72 percent during the period.
Commercial development is most evident in Sandton, the main financial district, which had a single 20-story office tower and a shopping mall in the 1970s and is now an expanse of office towers and luxury hotels.
The area had 1.5 million square meters (5 million square feet) of office space at the end of June, data compiled by Jones Lang LaSalle Inc shows.
Stark Inequality
The gap between rich and poor is stark.
The city comprises millionaires' mansions as well as shantytowns, illustrating why South Africa is ranked by the World Bank as one of the world's most unequal societies. Those with means hire private security to keep the poverty and crime at bay. They have access to potable water, private schools, gyms, restaurants, cinemas and malls stocked with global brands.
"Johannesburg is a very livable city," Sam Moss, the investor-relations director of financial-services company FirstRand, who moved to Johannesburg from the UK in 1995.
"It doesn't take two hours to commute on horrid trains. I haven't been the victim of violent crime. I have the electric fence, the alarm systems, the killer dogs. I check my back mirror every time I turn into my driveway. I try to be sensible without being paranoid. The day you can't live with that mindset, it's time to leave."
While South Africa's murder rate has dropped by more than half to 31.1 per 100,000 people since 1995, it remains six times higher than that of the US. Of 16,259 homicides in the country in the year through March 2013, 1,158 were in Johannesburg, an analysis of the latest police data by the Pretoria-based Institute for Security Studies shows.
Four Airports
Ease of access is part of Johannesburg's appeal as an African gateway. It has four airports, including the OR Tambo International Airport that's used by about 45 airlines and can process 28 million passengers a year.
The Gautrain, a high-speed rail line, links the airport, Sandton, the city centre and the capital Pretoria, alleviating congestion on the city's 9,000-kilometre (5,600-mile) road network.
The city plans to invest 100 billion rand on transport links and other infrastructure over the next decade.
Johannesburg needs to constantly prove its worth as a continental stepping stone, said Patrice Motsepe, whose control of mining company African Rainbow Minerals has made him the wealthiest black South African, with a net worth of $2.3 billion.
Burnishing Reputation
"We have to work on the issues that are tarnishing our reputation," Motsepe said. "If you want to be a major business centre you have to be able to attract people and make them excited about coming to live here."

#1Kanye West's "Family Business"
The latest and one of the best. Chance the Rapper busted out this emotional deep cut from Kanye's debut album, The College Dropout, in Arizona at the Live at Summer Ends Festival. Great timing, too: Chance just became a dad, which explains the original lyrics at the beginning, after which he goes straight into Kanye's original text.
Update: There's an official music video, and the tune's been rechristened "Family Matters":

Maredsous Glass Goblet
Belgian brewers, cafes and restaurants alike are known for serving their beers in branded glassware. Not only do Maredsous beer glasses look beautiful to drink from they are designed based on the beer style.
This Maredsous beer glass is approximately 350ml in capacity and is tulip shaped. This style of beer glass means that the head of the beer is supported for longer during its consumption, perfect for Belgian strong ales like Maredsous.

Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said National Treasury will act against municipalities which have failed to settle their debt to Eskom, Fin24's sister publication Netwerk24 reported.
In a letter to Democratic Alliance MP for the Free State David Ross, Gordhan raised his concern over Eskom's planned power cuts on January 16, saying that National Treasury would consider withholding national grants to the non-paying municipalities.
Judge Hans Fabricius on Thursday ruled in the North Gauteng High Court that Eskom may cut off power supply to the eight indebted municipalities as a means to recover outstanding debt. The ruling came after AfriForum filed an urgent court bid to prevent Eskom from cutting the power supply to the eight indebted municipalities.
Fabricius said the municipalities – Nala, Dihlabeng, Mantsopa, Nketoana, Moqhaka, Masilonyana, and Tokologo municipalities in the Free State and Naledi, Ditsobotla, Lekwa Temane, Maquassi Hills, Ramothsere Moiloa, Kgetleng, Tswaing, Mamusa and Ventersdorp municipalities in the North West – should be held accountable for not settling their debts.
Fin24 earlier reported that Eskom's acting CEO Matshela Koko said the power utility's capital expenditure for municipalities was R70m, and the outstanding debt by municipalities stood at R12bn. This was one of the reasons why rating agency Standard and Poor's downgraded the power utility over uncertainties.
Meanwhile, the DA's Kevin Mileham said in a statement that the African National Congress must take "full responsibility for the impending electricity crisis in a number of municipalities across South Africa.
Cuts will cause jobs bloodbath
"The people of these municipalities have been let down by dishonesty, corruption and maladministration, which has led to non-payment to Eskom and major debt," Mileham said, adding that the planned electricity cuts will not only "severely undermine basic service delivery, but will also collapse local economies and cause a jobs bloodbath".
All eight affected municipalities are under ANC rule.
Ross addressed a letter to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa), requesting its intervention to ensure that the electricity of paying consumers will not be cut.
Nersa spokesperson Charles Hlebela however told Netwerk24 the regulator is not aware of any requests to intervene in the matter between Eskom and municipalities.

In the meantime, stay safe, stay happy and I hope you can find ways to keep music in your life. I can't wait to see everyone back at concerts again.

Hilton Worldwide Announces Commitment to Repurpose Waste Across 90 Countries at Ninth Annual Clinton Global Initiative Meeting
MCLEAN, Va., September 25, 2013 /3BL Media/ – Hilton Worldwide, in partnership with Feeding America, The Global FoodBanking Network, Global Soap Project, Good360, DH Hospitality Group, Serta, and Waste Management Sustainability Services, announced its commitment to reducing waste across the organization's portfolio of more than 4,000 hotels in 90 countries. This Commitment to Action, entitled, RePurpose: Making Waste History for our Business and Society, was submitted today at the ninth annual Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) meeting in New York City.
Waste is not only a defining issue for the hospitality industry; it is a complex global challenge with far-reaching and long-lasting impact. This fall, Hilton Worldwide launches RePurpose, a commitment to support Hilton Worldwide hotels' efforts to dispose of waste through reusing, recycling and donating items instead of sending them to landfills. RePurpose builds on Hilton Worldwide's global, enterprise-wide focus on improving operational efficiencies by leveraging LightStay™, its proprietary sustainability measurement tool, to track and manage performance. Further, RePurpose provides tools and strategic partnerships to support hotel participation. These efforts are intended to reduce waste and increase recycling and donation activities across the global enterprise.
"We are honored to join the Clinton Global Initiative," said Randy Gaines, vice president of engineering, housekeeping and laundry operations for the Americas, Hilton Worldwide. "The business impact of waste presents a complex challenge, especially within the hospitality industry. It requires thoughtful and creative solutions like RePurpose. RePurpose helps our hotels achieve triple bottom line results by reducing their impact on natural resources, reducing the cost of waste disposal and supporting the communities where we live, work and travel. Sustainability is a business imperative, and we continually look to integrate it throughout our overall business model."
A suite of national and international business and nonprofit partnerships was developed to support hotels in their RePurpose initiatives. These strategic partnerships enable hotels to donate soap, safe food items, soft and hard goods and the recycling of cardboard, glass, plastic, mattresses and box springs in an efficient and effective manner. Further, through RePurpose, Hilton Worldwide empowers hotels with tools to identify and establish local donation and recycling collaborations. The organization is also seeking additional implementing partners to support RePurpose.
Current partners include:
Feeding America
Feeding America connects Hilton Worldwide hotels with local food banks and their networks of local community agencies to facilitate food delivery to school feeding programs, food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, day-care centers, and after-school programs. Hilton Worldwide has developed food donation systems for hotels in New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Minneapolis, Orlando, and Seattle. Hilton Worldwide is also working with Feeding America to provide volunteer opportunities with local food bank partners through its Global Team Member Volunteer Program.
The Global FoodBanking Network
The Global FoodBanking Network connects Hilton Worldwide hotels with its network of food banks in countries outside the US to facilitate food donations and distribution to community agencies. Food donations are already active at a number of properties in Egypt and Australia, with programs proposed for select European countries in the coming year. Activities focus on optimizing food and beverage operations to minimize food waste, educating hotels on food banking opportunities, developing relationships between hotels and local food banks, and establishing systems for donating safe and nutritious food.
Global Soap Project
Global Soap Project (GSP) and its Asian affiliate Soap Cycling reprocess soaps collected from Hilton Worldwide hotels and make them into new bars for distribution to populations at risk of hygiene-related disease. Hilton Worldwide has also invested $1.3 million to help expand the Global Soap Project's processing and distribution capabilities.
Good360 connects Hilton Worldwide hotels with opportunities to donate gently used and surplus goods to organizations in need. By using LightStay™ each Hilton Worldwide hotel is able to enter goods available for donation into a tracking system that links to Good360's online product donation marketplace where more than 37,000 charities have the opportunity to claim items as needed.
DH Hospitality Group and Serta
Hilton Supply Management, in collaboration with DH Hospitality Group, Inc., has developed a mattress recycling program in coordination with the installation of new Serta mattresses and box springs. The components of the mattresses and box springs are recycled into various products including tools, oil filters, particle board shelving and carpet padding rather than being diverted to a landfill. On average, 95 percent of the components can be recycled.
Waste Management Sustainability Services
Waste Management Sustainability Services (WMSS) provides scalable waste hauling solutions for Hilton Worldwide's owned and managed portfolio. Over the next three years, WMSS has and will introduce food waste reduction strategies in tandem with the RePurpose program, as well as provide direction on capturing and recycling material streams, like cardboard, plastics, lights and glass.
Hilton Worldwide and its partners gather data on the amount of usable waste diverted from landfills. This information is uploaded and tracked through LightStay™ to record the aggregate impacts of donations and items recycled across the Hilton Worldwide hotel portfolio. Impact metrics include:
- Pounds of food diverted from landfills
- Number of meals provided
- Number people impacted by donations
- Employee volunteer hours
- Monetary value of waste donated
- Cost savings resulting from waste reduction (in terms of reduced cost to dispose of waste)
This year's CGI Commitment to Action comes one year after Hilton Worldwide and the International Youth Foundation (IYF) announced their commitment to create the Global Youth Wellbeing Index to monitor the state of young people and help increase the effectiveness and accountability of investments targeting youth.

Electronic locks are the kinds of locks where number sequences are used to operate the lock and gain access to door or entry-way it is in place to restrict. The sequence of numbers – or occasionally symbols – can be entered by way of a single spinning dial, several dials with the numbers inscribed on each or high-tech electronic variants. Combination locks vary enormously from simple mechanical locks to enormously complex and largely unbreakable safe-quality locks.
Incredibly, the history of the combination lock dates back as far as Roman times, from which tombs have been uncovered displaying the use of primitive examples. Rather a standard lock, archaeologists noted the use of a series of dials uses to gain or bar access. The invention of the modern combination lock is credited to Joseph Loch, who in 1878 designed and built locks for Tiffany's in New York.
Probably the simplest and most common form of combination lock is the multi-dial variant – often the type used for bike locks and other minor security tools. These are the locks that have a number of dials with the symbols or letters engraved or embossed onto them, while the dials themselves have notches cut below the surface. The locking pin has a series of "teeth" which come into contact with the dials and prevent movement, while aligning the notches by entering the correct sequence of numbers allows the lock to be opened.
While an excellent choice for lesser security needs, these types of combination lock are considered to be the least secure – particularly if very low quality products are purchased. In the case of substandard products it is often possible to work out the correct combination in seconds simply by feeling for the resistance of the pin as the dials are turned one by one. This is precisely why those looking to use an affordable multi-dial combination lock are always urged to buy them only from the most reputable supplier on the market.
Single-dial combination locks are the types usually found fitted to safes or to certain types of padlock . These locks work by way of a series of parallel discs which are aligned by the used rotating the dial clockwise to the first number in the sequences, then anti-clockwise to the second, back clockwise to the third and so on for as many digits as the combination contains. They also work in most cases with similar notches being cut into the discs to allow opening, though unlike multi-dial locks are generally much more difficult to break by the amateur.
It again comes down to the quality of the products sourced and how well it has been fitted in the first place. In the case of sub-par combination locks with single dials, the lock itself will often allow a certain amount of "give" in terms of its accuracy. This means that while the combination may be set to 20 – 10 – 20, it will quite happily open if 18 – 12 – 21 was to be entered. At the very upper end of the market however, even so much as a fractional percentage over or under will invalidate the attempted entry and bar access.
As the dials on these kinds of lock will often reach up to around 60 – rather than the one-to-ten – of multi dial locks, the possibilities for combinations are infinitely higher. These tend to be the locks of choice for higher-security matters including the securing of safes, vaults and valuables.
Another highly popular type of combination lock used for both standard doors and safes alike is the keypad variant – mechanical or electronic. In the case of the mechanical keypad combination lock, these have been around since the 1930s and have been refined and developed considerably from their original incarnations. The beauty of the mechanical type is not only the simplicity of their operation or the way in which their security is exceptional, but also the way in which the combination can be regularly changed in minutes without the need for professional assistance. These make the ideal locks to be used for workplaces where the combination can be given to all staff members, though changed in a hurry if the code's secrecy were to be compromised
Electronic combination locks on the other hand are some of the very safest in the world if developed and fitted by elite providers, proving extremely difficult to break or compromise. The possibilities for combinations and codes are practically endless and are therefore largely impossible to guess. However, poor quality electronic combination locks present a number of potential security problems in their own right – ranging from electronic faults to the way in which excessive wear of certain keys on the keypad highlight the numbers used to gain access

Last November in Khulna, the third-largest city in Bangladesh, we set out to train a maximum of 24 doctors.

On World Pneumonia Day, we spoke to him about this critical work – and its potential to revolutionise diagnosis and treatment of an infection killing nearly a million children a year. A pulse oximeter is a non-invasive device for monitoring the level of oxygen in your blood stream, more often thought of as a hospital tool
Pulse oximetry plays a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric pneumonia, which kills nearly a million children under the age of five each year. But until now, challenges of design, cost and distribution have limited spread of the technology in countries where it can make a life-saving difference. Robust, reliable, and affordable
Each year we focus on a number of country projects, working with an incredible network of colleagues, volunteers and supporters.

There are two valuable but different ways of finding scientific literature. One is to search a database for relevant keywords or authors who you know.
Another is to tap into the way the scientific literature indexes itself - through references. When you have a valuable paper in your hand, the author has given you a list of related publications that she or he cited. So handy! The reason scientists include a literature review in their work is to show how their work connects with what has come before.
There is also a way of going forward in time through citations. Two resources are designed to show who has cited a paper since it was published: both Web of Science and Google Scholar will help you connect to the network of scientists working in the same area. You can also get a sense of how influential a paper has been, taking into account how recently it was published.

Increasingly, scholars are frustrated that their research is available only to people who have access to big libraries, so they either publish their research in journals that are free to anyone to read or they reserve the right to put copies of their research online. Try Googling the author and title of an article you need and add filetype:pdf - you might get lucky and find a free copy online.
For research in biology and biomedical sciences, the National Institutes of Health provides two nifty options. PubMed is a huge database of medical research articles. After you do a search, you can choose to limit your results to free full text articles.
Or you can go to PubMed Central, an archive of over 1,000 life science journals and articles based on research funded by the NIH to find lots of articles in biology and medicine.
When you have an article with references, you can see if a particular reference is available by looking the journal's name up at the link below. Then you can use the volume and date information to navigate to the article. If we don't have access to that journal, we usually can get it from another library.
We can get articles from other libraries, usually within 48 hours. You can request them two ways:
Once you click "my ILL requests" there will be a list of things you've requested as well as a "create request" button.
When the article has been scanned, you get an email with an explanation about how to download it - or log into our catalog and download it directly.
These print-format journals all publish primary research and review articles in the field of biology.
American Midland Naturalist
Behavioral Ecology
Genes and Development (most current year; earlier volumes in PMC)
Wilson Journal of Ornithology

Choices are good. Especially when the products you have to choose from differ in quality. This is happening in the fertilizer world today. It used to be that you could buy synthetic "blue", mix with water fertilizer or a generic version of this and not much else was available. You saw ads for Turf Builder and then there were the hardware brands or the white bags of 18-10-10 for your lawn. Today there are many new brands on the shelves and they contain the newest product developments in soil science.
Today's choices are amazing and leaving customers overwhelmed. I want to help by explaining when a good quality organic fertilizer might be a better choice over a synthetic. There are times when synthetic is absolutely fine, and other times when it would be detrimental. It really depends on the plant, and if it is one that you want to keep around or not.
When I was raising my children, we had a choice as to what to buy for them to drink. I was one of the "100% juice" supporters who looked down on Kool-Aid and 10% juice products. I loved my kids and I wanted them to grow up healthy. I read labels and stood my ground.
Giving your plants that you value a synthetic fertilizer is like giving your kids Kool-Aid when you could give them fresh squeezed! Sure, it will give them enough to survive on, but it will not help them to thrive! Synthetic fertilizers are cheap and full of fillers, mainly salts. It is the reason that the clay pots will get a white crust on them after a season of watering and fertilizing. Synthetic fertilizers are made of strong chemicals that kill the life in the soil. Millions of microorganisms live in healthy, life filled soil. These beneficial microorganisms that are in the soil help keep the plants healthy and disease resistant. Organic fertilizers are now being made with beneficial microbes and fungi added into them! When you give these to your plants, you are feeding your plants and your soil. Your plants you care about will be given the best quality nutrition available.
There is a time and a place for Synthetics, though. If you have annual flowers that are here this season and gone the next, go ahead and feed them anything. Hanging Baskets are heavy feeders and do well with synthetic. My rule of thumb is this, if you love the plant and want it to be a permanent addition to your yard, or if you are going to eat it, use quality organic food with microbes to give it all it needs to be its best.
Fall Lawn Feeding Season is fast approaching and there are many choices to be made here, too. Remember, you wouldn't give your kids a can of SODA POP and send them to bed… Give your lawn high quality, organic lawn food with microbes, and tuck it into bed with love!

IN THIS ONE... The Brigadier is back and Arthurian knights are falling out of the sky.
REVIEW: Debut of the Doctor's new, darker coat because the show is embracing the darker aspects of the seventh Doctor, but more importantly, it's a second Ben Aaronovitch script which, like Remembrance of the Daleks, at once makes the Doctor more mysterious and gives fans lots of pleasant references to the past. This time, Aaronovitch has let himself be inspired by the UNIT era, and Pertwee fans should get a kick out of Battlefield. The Brig comes out of retirement, has regrown his mustache, and finally married his offstage flame Doris. Britain's UNIT (with a new logo that has lasted into the New Who era) is now being led by a new Brigadier, Winifred Bambera, which I've never really found believable. It wasn't common practice then to give actors much military training in preparation for such roles and it shows. (But then, UNIT has always been a little more relaxed than the army.) The Doctor gets his UNIT passes out and has Ace impersonate Liz Shaw. Zbrigniev remembers the old face-changing scientific adviser (he must've been a young rookie if we're now supposed to be in 1996 - oh that muddled UNIT dating issue!). Even the idea of Excalibur sending a signal "sideways" in time is from the UNIT era's Inferno, and the missile transport is right out of The Mind of Evil. Once again, Aaronovitch somehow fails to make it all seem like fanwank.
Perhaps it's because the main plot is about something completely new. I can't actually believe Doctor Who hasn't yet done something with the Arthurian legend! The Britishness of it would have seemed to make it a natural for Who. A nice twist on it is that Camelot is actually in another dimension (sideways in time) and the knights arrive in personal coffins/missiles, looking for the famous sword in the stone, apparently in a spaceship, waiting for the Once and Future King. Morgaine, played by Jean Marsh, another returnee to the program, is only seen in a crystal ball, apparently enjoying a certain measure of omniscience, or at least clairvoyance. (I suppose it's disappointing neither her nor the Brig get to the scene of the adventure within the confines of the first episode, but it makes me excited for when they do.) And then the script lays a doozy on us: Ancelyn the knight recognizes the Doctor as Merlin and is able to describe the TARDIS. Is this an alternate universe Doctor from Camelot, or a future version of the Doctor that will eventually play that role on that other world? Is the Doctor more archetypal and conceptual than previously understood? The mind reels.
What I most enjoy about Battlefield already is the attention to detail. It's the little things. The blind inn keeper, introduced visually not through dialog, reading braille when our heroes walk in. The "valuable piece of coinage" that looks like a crawling toy. Shou Yuing's crack about the beer and underage Ace trying to order a drink. The grenade explosion intercut with the girls' playful stories about homemade explosives (as little as I believe there are two teenage girls in Britain who are explosive experts). The Brigadier refusing the call to duty until he hears the Doctor is involved. The Doctor's distaste for weapons of mass destruction and the military in general. It's details like these that make you believe the production team cares about what it's doing (which wasn't always the case), and adds to the show's quality significantly.
REWATCHABILITY: High - Always great to see the Brigadier, and the quality script and epic scope look to do his return justice.

A superb start to a superb series, even if the broadcast order was different from intended. The original order should have been Fenric - Battlefield - Ghost Light - Survival, I believe, which fits Ace's arc a little better, for reasons we might be better off discussing a few days down the road.
How are you tackling the re-edited special editions, the ones that aren't cut into episodes? Battlefield's a little bit stronger re-edited, but Fenric's extended cut is definitely the superior, essential version.

Well, controversially, perhaps, I'll actually be doing Fenric before Ghost Light, since these are the two that actually feel like they were flipped (there's actually a reference to GL in Fenric).
The re-edits will be covered in Versions at the end of each serial (as usual), and I agree, the two stories are far better as re-edited movies.
- October 15, 2013 at 8:01 AM
It's definitely the order it needs to be watched in. Apart from the "dramatic" reveal of the Doctor's new jacket under his overcoat in Fenric rather than Battlefield, it doesn't really matter where Battlefield fits in as it's the Doctor's story rather than Ace's. But the other three stories have to be viewed in correct order, because they're about Ace's past, then her present, then her future. Also about going away from home, then finding her way back. But then, in Doctor Who, time and space really are the same thing.
- October 15, 2013 at 8:10 AM
The intended order for season 26 was Battlefield first, then the Ace arc (Curse of Fenric, Ghost Light and Survival.)
They were filmed in the order Battlefield, Curse of Fenric (then "The Wolves of Fenric") Survival and Ghost Light (with, as usual, the two three parters being done in one production block, and thus one is entirely on location and the other entirely studio bound)
Personally, I don't really think viewing order matters, as long as Survival comes last. The only reason we know Curse comes first is because Curse foreshadows Ghost Light in one tiny line- had that one short line been cut we'd have been none the wiser until the DVD showed us deleted scenes.
- October 15, 2013 at 9:06 AM
Funnily enough, Battlefield then Fenric was the exact order I rewatched them in recently! Wasn't Fenric meant to be the first one, though, because of that business with the overcoat hiding his "new" look at the beginning?
- October 15, 2013 at 9:31 AM
Having never noticed anything particularly dramatic in how the new coat is revealed in Fenric (and it's one I watch a lot), I suspect the overcoat was there because that bit of Fenric was filmed in a particularly cold February. So cold that the inches of snow had to be manually cleared off the location before they could film.

It's difficult not to want Jessica Walter to play Morgaine le Fey. Not even because she played Morgaine in the 70s "Doctor Strange" movie, but because of Lucille Bluth.
Likewise, we need Tony Hale as Mordred. And tell me you wouldn't want Will Arnett as her sorcerer minion.
It doesn't come up again in "Battlefield", but Vortigern ("the name of an ancient British king") does have a relationship to historical Arthur, to such extent as there is a history. According to the exactly one historical report from centuries after the fact, Arthur wasn't a king but rather a battle-duke who won battles against the Saxons, who had invaded after King Vortigern failed to pay them for mercenary work. Rutger Hauer played him in "Merlin".
- October 15, 2013 at 10:29 AM
Also, it's going to come up that Morgaine and her knights have a serious code of conduct: harm must repay harm, debts must be paid fairly, respect is paramount. With that in mind, here's an interesting Web comic that touches on some of the same (written by John Rogers):
- October 15, 2013 at 10:33 AM
Last comment. I thought the new brigadier looked familiar; turns out she's Deb Lister, from the gender-swapped universe in "Red Dwarf".
And Craig Ferguson, yes THAT Craig Ferguson, is the personification of Dave Lister's confidence.
- October 15, 2013 at 10:39 AM
By odd coincidence THAT Craig Ferguson is also (a) a Doctor Who fan and (b) a very old friend of 12th Doctor-in-waiting Peter Capaldi. They were in a punk band together in the early 80s.
- October 15, 2013 at 11:46 AM
God, this whole season was just so good! Even all these years later, I'm still so angry at Michael Grade for cancelling the show at this point.

Erik's Radio Playlist, 9/18/10
So the College of Wooster has for some reason decided to allow me on the radio. Unfortunately, being a college radio station, things don't always work right so the streaming is broken. Otherwise, I'd let you know when I'm going to be on. Essentially, it'll be on Sunday afternoons when I'm in town and there's room. So occasionally.

Fort Hood shooting revives debate on guns, mental illness
Last week's shooting at Fort Hood has reopened a debate about guns and mental health in the U.S. as lawmakers and public officials once again tackle the question of whether more can be done to address the rising threat of active shooter incidents.
The most recent incident, which involved an Army specialist who was being evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder, is the third shooting on a U.S. military installation in the last five years. It is also the second that involved a gunman with mental health problems, the other incident being the shooting at the Washington Navy Yard last fall.
There is widespread agreement among both lawmakers and defense officials that soldiers returning from war need more attention paid to their mental health as well as their physical health.
"We do a very good job at fixing broken bodies, but not such a great job at healing broken minds with our returning veterans," Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rep. Mike McCaul, R-Texas, said on CBS' "Face the Nation."
Retired Adm. Mike Mullen, the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said it is "a time of great stress for our military" because forces have been away from home for so long, and are dealing with issues ranging from anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries to financial and personal problems.
"And now that we're going to be home more, I think we're going to see actually an increased number of challenges associated with that. And we all need to wrap our arms around the force to help them deal with those," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Addressing those issues with financial resources is a different story, however. Military budgets are tighter than ever because of sequester cuts, and President Obama recently unveiled a budget that would reduce both defense spending and the size of active duty military, which has been met with harsh criticism by Republicans.
Even Democrats are wary of cutting the budget so much when it could mean squeezing resources from the military.
"It's been 13 years of war and repeated deployments. Congress should not stress [the military] further with things like sequester and budgetary moves that deprives them of the certainty they need," said Senate Armed Services Committee member Tim Kaine, D-Va., on "Fox News Sunday."
While Kaine - who was speaking about the Fort Hood shooing - said there shouldn't be any "blank checks" for the Pentagon, he added, "When we're requiring them to do across the board cuts, we need to look at the effects on mental health services."
Rep. John Carter, R-Texas, speaking on ABC's "This Week," called service members' mental health a "critical" issue that needs more resources from both the Defense and Veterans Affairs Departments to help ensure members of the military have a smooth transition back into civilian life.
But Congress has even struggled lately to pass legislation that would help those who have already served. A $21 billion bill that would have greatly expanded aid and other programs to veterans died in the Senate in February largely due to an inter-party fight over amendments, but also the cost of the bill itself.
Support for veterans traditionally has bipartisan support, just as find it easy to agree that mental health problems in the country need to be addressed. But spending money is always a trickier affair for Congress, and even seemingly simple issues go nowhere these days.
And with the specter of Second Amendment issues hanging over the recent tragedy, it becomes even harder.
For all the agreement on mental health, Republican lawmakers and military leaders seem to be at odds on how to best handle access to guns on military bases. McCaul is one of the lawmakers who believes that service members should be able to carry guns on military bases, which they are currently prohibited from doing absent specific permission.
"I think a lot of people don't realize that our military that defends our freedoms abroad, when they come home to the military base are not allowed to carry weapons. Now I think we need to have a discussion," McCaul said on "Face the Nation." "We need to talk to the commanders about whether it would make sense to have not all but maybe some of our senior leadership officers, enlisted men on the base, carrying weapons for protection."
Ideally, he added, there would be more military police officers on bases, but that suggestion is "not as realistic" given the current budget climate.
"It only takes a few minutes to wound and kill a large number of soldiers. Any time we see soldier on soldier, it's one of the most tragic things we can conceive. And if we had senior leadership armed, just maybe they could have stopped it before it got worse," he said.
Members of the current and former military leadership do not share his views.
"I'm not one -- as someone who has been on many, many bases and posts -- that would argue for arming anybody who is on base. I think that actually invites much more difficult challenges," Mullen said. And the day after the shooting last week, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno said, "We have our military police and others that are armed. And I believe that's appropriate. And I think that I believe that that allows us the level of protection necessary."
Dan Pfeiffer, a senior adviser to the president, said the Pentagon has studied proposals to arm more service members on bases and concluded it is not a good idea.
Kaine suggested the best place to stop violence is at the gates of military bases, and would only support a change in the rules if it were studied and backed by the military leadership.
Gun control also remains a fiercely divisive issue that remains largely unchanged by even the worst tragedies. Although proposals to increase background checks and other restrictions seemed poised for support after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 that killed 20 students and six teachers, not a single federal law was passed in response.
Despite the challenges of passing any gun legislation, that won't stop some lawmakers from looking to address what they see as a problem. The day after the second Fort Hood shooting, Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, urged colleagues to support his bill to repeal the Clinton-era ban on military personnel carrying weapons on base.
"Only the most out-of-touch radical would try to disarm soldiers. It's time to repeal this deadly anti-gun law before it creates another mass killing," said Stockman in a press release. "This is another tragedy created by anti-gun activists. If members of Congress are protected by loaded automatic weapons in the Capitol they have no right to deny that right to trained soldiers on base."
Stockman introduced the legislation last September in response to the Navy Yard shooting. It was referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations and is awaiting action.

Science fiction tales have plots that allude to one or more science topics which are fiction and not actual. Earth science is the study of planet Earth. Similarly, within the education sector too, the affect of the developments in science and expertise is very commendable. It's just like empirical sciences in that it entails an objective, careful and systematic research of an space of data; it is totally different due to its technique of verifying its information, utilizing a priori relatively than empirical methods.
Science has introduced sophistication to human life. Built-in lecturers want to concentrate to the science to be learned, the language expertise required to learn it, and the reasoning talents wanted to be manipulated. The Australian Curriculum: Science has three interrelated strands: science understanding, science as a human endeavour and science inquiry expertise.
