The following is a survey of Australian racing tips for Saturday, April 6. The focus is on Randwick, which features the Australian Derby (Race 7), TJ Smith (Race 8) and Doncaster Mile (Race 9). Selected races at Ascot, Caulfield and Morphettville are also covered.
Race 7: Back Ashlor (7.00) to win.
Back Microphone (5.50) and Kiamichi (8.50) to win.
If investing 10 units have 8 units on Microphone and 2 units on Kiamichi.
Back Arrogant (5.50) to win.
Suggested Bet: Back Fifty Stars (8.00) to win.
ATHIRI (8) Kept finding the line when 3rd last run at Rosehill and has a positive draw. James Mcdonald and James Cummings rate highly together. Should go well. BIVOUAC (1) Handy enough when winning two runs back at Warwick Farm. Suited here. EVENING SLIPPERS (9) Having second run back from a spell. Won narrowly last run at Warwick Farm but rising in grade. Must come into consideration. STRONGER (2) Fought on gamely when winning two runs back at Kensington. Chance here.
AMANGIRI (6) Won by a huge margin last time at Hawkesbury but racing in stronger company today. Jockey Tommy Berry and trainer Michael Hawkes Wayne Hawkes John Hawkes are usually competitive when they team up. Look for a bold run. PRINCESS JENNI (1) Fought on gamely when winning last time at Moonee Valley and will be trying to topple them late. Going well this preparation. Has claims. ZALATTE (3) Third up. Brave effort to win three runs back at this venue and looks well placed in this grade. Among the chances. ROMANI GIRL (10) Made considerable ground when 3rd two runs back at Kensington. Been in the money 2 from 3 attempts this preparation. Could run into the placings.
SUPERNOVA (19) Showed promise when winning last run at Rosehill and third up from a spell. Michael Hawkes Wayne Hawkes John Hawkes stable is having a great run of late. Good chance in this event. SHRAAOH (14) Ran on strongly when 3rd last run at Rosehill and gets a favourable draw. Suited here. SEMARI (15) Won narrowly last time at Rosehill but faces a rise in trip. Very tidy this campaign winning 3 from 4 attempts. Looks a value runner. GALLIC CHIEFTAIN (11) Proven record third up with 3 wins from 6 starts. Improved when 5th last start at Yarra Valley and has minimal work to do from the barrier. Could place.
CASTELVECCHIO (1) Strong to the line last start and should appreciate the step up in trip. Rates on top. MICROPHONE (2) Good effort in the Golden Slipper and likely to go well again. Well in this. BELLEVUE HILL (5) Racing on a quick back. Will be sent straight to the front and should give them something to chase down. LOVING GABY (12) Can find a nice position from the soft draw. Keep safe.
CHAPADA (5) Ran on well in the Rosehill Guineas and the 2400m should suit. The one to beat. ARROGANT (4) Pushed The Autumn Sun the whole way last time out. Will be competitive again. GLOBAL EXCHANGE (8) Going through its grades nicely this prep. Can continue its good form here. STARS OF CARRUM (9) Good effort in the Mornington Cup when racing in open age company. Looks a nice each way bet.
TRAPEZE ARTIST (2) Superstar sprinter who won this race last year. Looks set to go back-to-back. OSBORNE BULLS (7) Gets back and flashes home late with a strong turn of foot. Can get its maiden Group 1 victory here. SANTA ANA LANE (3) Classy gelding who was good in the Newmarket Handicap. Capable of winning this. PIERATA (4) Huge run in the Galaxy when beaten a nose. Looks poised to have an impact again today.
ALIZEE (3) Champion 4yo mare who is searching for another Group 1 victory. Every chance of getting it here. FIFTY STARS (15) Racing well of late and is unbeaten on a heavy track. Can make it three in a row today. BRUTAL (20) Much improved effort last start when only beaten 3.5L behind Winx. Genuine lightweight hope. HARTNELL (1) Veteran warhorse who always gives his all. You couldn't begrudge him winning this.
Doncaster day means nine Group races and the Country Champs Final. A big afternoon I'm sure you'll agree. Conditions were ranked at Soft 7 as of Wednesday morning and the track is likely to get some rain on Thursday as well. So, can't see us improving too much. Somewhere in that Soft range by time we get to Saturday afternoon. We start with a 2YO sprint contest and the quality of ATHIRI should shine through strongly. She has been close-up in the Blue Diamond and then close-up behind the Slipper winner. I just don't want to overthink this. Short but sweet I would think.
Look for 11 and 13 to lead out in this one for the Oaks hopefuls. MARACAIBO could present at some value in the race and I think she's absolutely on the right trajectory in her campaign. Last prep she ran 4th in the Oaks off the back of two low grade wins out of town so I think it's fair to say, after an Adelaide win that had real merit, she looks to be going better than ever. Baster puts her in a lovely trailing spot as well. CLEMENTINA had a hard luck tale to tell from the NZ Oaks and I won't let her under my guard here either.
2 and 3 the most likely leaders. SUPERNOVA jumps off the page as lightest raced and nobody could argue he doesn't still have upside. A BM78 win means he has to rise to another level of course but I'm firmly of the opinion that he will. Has won at 2400m o/s and placed at 2800m, so this trip looks perfect at this stage of his game. Add in the fact that Angel of Truth ran 5th behind him last start before coming out to win last week's Tulloch. GOATHLAND (racing well this prep) and GALLIC CHIEFTAIN (ready for the longer journey) rate next best.
Pace from Slipper winner KIAMICHI, this time jumping and running from the inside gate. The Gai/Bott pair – 5 and 7 – very likely to be up there as well. LOVING GABY has run so well in defeat in the two G1s so far, without luck on both occasions. Reckon she can trail nicely here. CASTELVECCHIO comes to this 5 weeks between runs but that was the plan after his Skyline run. A recent trial saw him do what he does – settle well back and finish off with gusto. He'll settle down in the back few, and tempo may or may not be his friend, but he'll be winding up strongly at the very least. MICROPHONE beat him home in the Skyline and has held up the form since. TENLEY was so bad in the Slipper, just can't have her on Soft 6 or worse.
11 and 4 to go forward again. 17 and 13 could be handy. I'll have CHAPADA who was not only luckless in the Victoria Derby last spring but should have clearly finished closer at his final leadup to this. ARROGANT, through the same race, is included. MADISON COUNTY has to extend out to 2400m but I think he may have the other NZers covered on class. (Stablemate THE CHOSE ONE, super unlucky in the NZ Derby, could be a wildcard at some odds.) GLOBAL EXCHANGE has come back beautifully, knows how to win, and the longer distance seems made to order. Can't be left out of calculations at all.
Expect 6 and 11 to cross over together. 5 and 1 settle just in behind and TRAPEZE ARTIST could be a factor on-speed as well. OSBORNE BULLS has the opportunity to settle a touch closer than he often does, not that I think he'll be better than midfield but a better getaway can have him tracking into the race ideally. As things stand his only unplaced run is a 1.3L defeat at G1 level and he proved himself pretty well on the wet in the Everest. He won't run poorly here; in fact I would be staggered were he to miss top three. SUNLIGHT has obviously had those two recent clashes with BULLS and the score is 1-1. Proven to Soft 6, she's a big danger. TRAPEZE ARTIST won this easily last year and has beaten nearly all of these at one stage or another. My first look at this race had me leaving him out of top four but that just didn't feel right.
Here's the Doncaster, still Sydney's best race. I suspect BRUTAL and SIEGE OF QUEBEC might cross over from their wide draws and lead this, leaving 18 and 5 to trail in behind. That could make for genuine speed early on and it's crucial for BRUTAL that he jump away clean. His latest run is good form for this, with four of the last five winners coming through the George Ryder (and 9 of the last 15). I'm going to take a chance on DIXIE BLOSSOMS though. Rarely has she tried her hand against males but evidence would suggest she's up to it in current form. A bit more rain won't hurt her either. I would give FUNDAMENTALIST a big cheer if she gets up, mainly for Ben Thompson who seeks his breakthrough at this level. Chris Waller has won 6 of the last 11 Doncasters and I am a bit tempted by UNFORGOTTEN coming back from the Ranvet. She was a little lacklustre at the finish of that though and the likelihood of Soft going here means I just can't have her near the top of the tips. On Good ground she would be.
ATHIRI (8) continued her good run of form last start when finishing a close third behind Kiamichi in the Magic Night Stakes. Feel she will be better suited back on top of the ground and with McDonald sticking aboard, she should prove hard to beat. BIVOUAC (1) missed the Slipper as an emergency and appears well placed back in this grade. Run in the Todman was good enough to see him in the finish here. EVENING SLIPPERS (9) won well fresh and can improve sharply racing second up, while ALL CYLINDERS (3) remains under strong notice.
ZALATTE (3) failed to live up to market expectations in the Phar Lap Stakes last start, however she clearly didn't run her race there and a return to her best form sees her very hard to beat. JMac takes over and she is sure to relish the step up in trip. Hard to beat. AMANGIRI (6) has been very impressive at her last two starts and is clearly a filly heading the right way. No favours with the draw, but should spear across and prove hard to get passed. PRINCESS JENNI (1) won well at the Valley last start and she too is on an upward spiral. Has to be kept safe. ROMANI GIRL (10) the best of the rest.
SUPERNOVA (19) steps up sharply in grade, but is clearly a galloper heading the right way following his dominant display at Rosehill last start over 1900m. Drawn to receive all the favours and while he has to raise the bar, he appears more than capable. Hard to beat. SHRAAOH (14) didn't handle the heavy track last start as he is clearly better than that. A firmer track has to enhance his chances. SIR CHARLES ROAD (5) rates well on best form and has to be respected with Shinn back aboard. GOATHLAND (16) continues to race well, next best.
LOVING GABY (12) has done an amazing job in four starts and confident she is clearly the best horse in this race. Had no luck in the Slipper and still stuck on well to run fourth and gives the impression she will relish the step up in trip. Should appreciate the firmer track and with JMac booked, she should prove very hard to beat. KIAMICHI (10) was simply too good in the Slipper last start, running time from the front. Maybe a question mark onto a firmer surface, but how do you knock her. She is sure to run well again. Stablemate MICROPHONE (2) proved game in defeat behind her last start and remains under strong notice, while BELLEVUE HILL (5) has to be respected on the quick back up.
MADISON COUNTY (2) was arguably the run of the day last weekend in the Tulloch recording the fastest L800m and L600m of the day, while recording the 4th fastest L200m. On trial at the trip, but is clearly in the right stable and sets up well on the quick back up. Hard to beat. CHAPADA (5) was the run of the race in the Rosehill Guineas and gives every impression he will relish the step up in trip. Oliver sticks and he looms as a major threat. Stablemate ARROGANT (4) did a great job behind The Autumn Sun last start and obviously has to be respected off the back of that. FRANKELY AWESOME (18) a big watch taking on the boys.
SANTA ANA LANE (3) was enormous first up with the big weight (58.5kg) in the Newmarket and is expected to improve sharply racing second up. Recent trial behind Vega Magic was very good and no question at his best, he is arguably the best sprinter in the land. Drawn to get to the middle and should prove hard to hold out. TRAPEZE ARTIST (2) bounced back in a big way last start when far too good leading throughout in the Canterbury Stakes. Ran them into the ground there and a high pressure 1200m plays right into his hands. Major threat. PIERATA (4) was very game in defeat last start in the Galaxy and now appears set to peak racing third up. Big chance. OSBORNE BULLS (7) continues to improve and appears the next in line.
BRUTAL (20) took a good step forward in the George Ryder Stakes last start when game in defeat behind Winx. Returned a new career peak and gets every chance down in the weights. 3YOs have dominated the Doncaster and from the wide draw he should press forward and be in this for a long way. Fellow 3YO FUNDAMENTALIST (18) has been in rare form this time in and she too appears very well placed down in the weights. Drawn to get the run of the race and looms as a major threat. FIFTY STARS (15) brings the right form, though not sure a drying track plays into his hands. Nonetheless he rates right there. HARTNELL (1) is a champion and can win despite the big weight.
CASTELVECCHIO (1) Strong to the line last start and should appreciate the step up in trip. Rates on top. MICROPHONE (2) Good effort in the Golden Slipper and likely to go well again. Right in this. BELLEVUE HILL (5) Racing on a quick back. Will be sent straight to the front and should give them something to chase down. LOVING GABY (12) Can find a nice position from the soft draw. Keep safe.

Q: Extract number from String in bash I want to extract a number from a string and use that number for future calculations
while IFS= read line ; do

  if [[ "$line" == Content-Length* ]]
  then
  size=$(echo "$line" | awk '{print $2}')
  echo "$size"
  let size=$size+1
  echo "$size"
  break
  fi
done <files

files has the line
Content-Length: 4806

but output looks like this
4806
+1")syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is "
4806

i tried this for more than 5 hrs but could find why is this happening .can some one tell me why

A: You can take advantage of the fact that Content-Length: 4806 is actually a space-delimited pair of strings.
while read -r field value; do
    if [ "$field" = "Content-Length" ]; then
        echo "$size"
        echo "$((size+1))"
    fi
done < files

To solve the problem of DOS line endings, either run the file through dos2unix or some other tool to fix the line endings, or trim the carriage return using
size=${size%.}

which will remove the final character of size from its value. Fixing the file, rather than coding around it, is recommended.

A: you can replace:
let size=$size+1

to
let size=$[$size+1]

or
let size=$[size+1]

or
let size++

or
let size=`expr $size + 1`

All example run fine on ubuntu 13.04 and you example too.

The Intertropical Front has begun its seasonal southward retreat. Due to cooler than average Gulf of Guinea sea surface temperatures, the timing of its retreat is expected to progress at a typical to slower than normal rate. In the northern Sahel the end of season has extended through the end of September, providing enough time for most crops to complete their cycle despite early seasonal delays.
Crop and pasture production in the Sahel is expected to be near average for most of the region, even in central and eastern zones that experienced a delayed start of season, as good rainfall since July and a typical to late end of season will contribute to making up rainfall deficits experienced earlier in the season.
Continued dryness in the Bi-modal zone following the typical first season break indicate a delayed start to the second season, which could have implications for second season harvests in the Bi-modal zone.
At the beginning of the West Africa monsoon season, between early May and the end of June, warmer than average Gulf of Guinea Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) and moderate impacts from El Niño resulted in late (Figure 3), poorly distributed and below-average rainfall over most of the region. Beginning in July, however, cooler than average Gulf of Guinea SSTs contributed to maintaining the Intertropical Front (ITF) at or north of its climatological position over most of the region. The ITF is the leading edge of the Intertropical Convergence Zone, which is the weather pattern that brings rain to West Africa in the northern hemisphere summer. The ITF maintaining a position at or north of its climatological position since earl July has resulted in average to above-average seasonal rainfall totals across the Sahel and Sudano-Guinean zone (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
Although the start of season was late for much of the Sudano-Guinean zone and southern Sahel, the start of season was 1 to 3 weeks early over most of the northern Sahel. Rainfall deficits that persisted in this area were generally light. The areas of West Africa where moderate seasonal rainfall deficits still persist are relatively small in size and are in central-southern Mauritania, in southern Gao in Mali, in northern Maradi and northwestern Zinder regions in Niger, and across a few areas in Chad spanning from Kanem to Wadi Firra (Figure 2). Severe rainfall deficits in the region could only be seen in the Bi-modal zone. These deficits could be in part explained by a longer and more pronounced August dry season than normal, which also resulted in a delayed start of the second season.
Moisture conditions are favorable for continued good crop development across the northern Sahel, where cumulative rainfall totals since early July are above average. For the areas showing slight to moderate deficits from Mali eastward, crop and/or pasture production is not expected to be affected very significantly as rains continued through the end of September. Continued rainfall in mid-October in Senegal and southern Mauritania is expected to contribute to alleviating deficits experienced at the beginning of the season.
Generally good cropping conditions have continued over the southern part of the Sudano-Sahelian zone and the Sudano-Guinean zones despite the significantly late start of season that affected parts of the regions. Continued above-average rainfall since July with good spatial and temporal distribution is expected to compensate for the effects of deficits experienced earlier in the season.
Pronounced dryness observed in the Bi-modal zone during the August break persisted through September, delaying the start of the second season, increasing the risk for a bad second season harvest, which would begin between late November and early December.
Gulf of Guinea SSTs are currently and forecast to remain cooler than average for the next few weeks. As such, the ITF's southward retreat is expected to be normal or slightly slower than normal, bring a typical to late end of season for most of the region. In the northern Sahel, the season has reached its end in most areas, whereas in the Sudano-Guinean zone seasonal rains will likely continue until early November.
Global Forecast System (GFS) forecasts through the end of October indicate below-average to average accumulation in the Bi-modal zone.

Q: Sliding vertical menu : prevent the title from moving left on hover I'm trying to fix an issue with a sliding vertical menu where the menu header moves right when I'm over it.
You can see it yourself here when going over portfolio.
This is the CSS I'm currently using :
#menu {
    position: absolute;
    top: 60px;
    right: 20px;
    height: 80%;
    color: #ffffff;
    cursor: default;
    letter-spacing:8px;
}

#menu li {
    list-style: none;
    cursor: pointer;
    letter-spacing:1px;
}

#menu-portfolio {
    float: left;
    border-right: 2px solid;
    padding-right: 0.3em;
    font-size: 95%;
}

.menu-gallery-selector {
    font-size: 85%;
    text-align:left;
    margin:5%;
}

.menu-gallery-selector:nth-of-type(1) {
    margin-top:15%;
}

#menu-contact {
    float: left;
    letter-spacing:1px;
    padding-left: 0.4em;
    font-size: 95%;
}

And this is the javascript :
$("#menu-portfolio").bind("mouseover", expand);
$("#menu-portfolio").bind("mouseout",collapse);
$(".menu-gallery-selector").hide();

function collapse() {
    $(".menu-gallery-selector").hide();
}

function expand() {
    $(".menu-gallery-selector").show();
}

A: simple fix
#menu-portfolio {
text-align:right;
}

A: You can fix it by adding text-align: right; to the
#menu-portfolio {
    float: left;
    border-right: 2px solid #000;
    padding-right: 0.3em;
    font-size: 95%;
    text-align: right;
}

Should do the work

A: When I test this the "Portfolio" text moves left not right. The reason the "Portfolio" text moves is because the text of the widest list item "Automotive" expands the width of the <ul> tag which contains the "Portfolio" text. You need to put text-align: right; on the Portfolio text.

I Do Believe in God, But . . .
Tribulation Times
READ THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: http://www.oneyearbibleonline.com/june.asp?version=63&startmmdd=0101
CARDINAL SARAH: "Undoubtedly, since the beginning of his papacy, Pope Benedict XVI has considered this 'religious indifference' and 'silent apostasy' as the major challenge the Church has to take up today in her relations with the modern world. Therefore, he is more determined than ever to make our minds more aware and our faith more visible and more active, in order to show the world that the Church's mission is deeply rooted in faith in God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit."
THEOLOGY FOR THE LAITY: Cafeteria Catholics
EDITORIAL: I do believe in God, but…
If I were presenting a talk show and a member of the audience begins to express an opinion on a known scientific or geographical fact, I would certainly stop him/her from continuing further. I would not accept someone saying "They say that the world is round but my opinion is that it is flat" or "We were taught that two and two are four but my opinion…"
Similarly, I would also interrupt anyone who starts saying "I do believe in God, but…" because the proclamation "I believe" means I accept all the truths about God revealed to us, even though there may be some of these truths that I cannot understand fully (mysteries).
"… in God" means the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the Almighty; Creator of heaven and earth; God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Three Persons in one God; God the Father revealed to us through the prophets in the Holy Scriptures; the Son, Jesus Christ, who came on earth to redeem and save us; the same son who was born of the Virgin Mary, died for us on the cross and rose again from the dead; the
Holy Spirit, who fills people with His seven gifts and turns weak, illiterate and humble men into courageous apostles full of divine wisdom.
Our Lord Jesus Christ ordered the members of His Church to "go and teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Those who believe and are baptised will be saved (heaven); those who do not believe will be condemned (hell). The sins of those you forgive on this earth will be forgiven in heaven; the sins of those you do not forgive on this earth will not be forgiven in heaven".
So the statement "I believe" includes the acceptance of Christ's teachings and of the Catholic Church as the only authority to interpret these teachings.
One day, when Jesus Christ was preaching, He said: "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven." Many disciples could not take this teaching and left Him. So Jesus turned to his apostles and said: "Do you also want to go?" And Peter replied: "To whom do you want us to go, Lord? You have the words of eternal life". Although the apostles could not understand what this statement meant, they had the patience to wait for the Last Supper, where Jesus Christ showed them the manner in which He was to become our spiritual sustenance and eternal salvation.
There is no compromise in Christ's teachings. The same applies when Peter tried to interfere with the will of the eternal Father that Christ had to suffer and die on the cross. Here, Christ chides Peter for letting sentiment cloud his judgement. Peter is called Satan for tempting Jesus to stay away from Jerusalem and the crucifixion.
In the same way, there cannot be any compromise with any of the articles in the Creed which we pronounce every Sunday during Holy Mass.
So, if anyone says to me: "I believe in God but not in the Catholic Church or the virginity of Our Lady or Jesus Christ, etc," I will reply: "You may be sincere in your statement but I am afraid you are wrong. You either believe in a god other than the one outlined above or else you do not understand what the word 'believe' fully entails. If you wish to remain a committed Christian, you are invited to rediscover the richness of the Christian faith, some aspects of which you might have forgotten. If you truly believe in God, then you have to believe in heaven, hell, the Catholic Church, the virginity of Our Lady, Holy Communion, confession to a priest and, in short, all the other articles of the Creed."
"I believe" is a package. One cannot pick and choose at random from this package (what some are now referring to as the supermarket syndrome), accepting what I like and discarding what does not tickle my fancy. One either accepts the whole package or none at all.
"But am I not supposed to follow my conscience," some might rightly ask. Rather than expressing my ideas I would like to offer those of an expert in the field – Richard M. Gula – who, in his book Moral Discernment, states among other things:
"If we are going to grow in our loving relationship with God and neighbour then we need to discern what is truly loving. Conscience is our capacity for making such discernment."
We must not confuse conscience with the superego. The superego is like a recording in our heads reminding us of all that we should do in the process of growing up under the influence of authority figures. It commands us to act for the sake of gaining approval or out of fear of losing love. The wants of conscience look to personalised and internalised values or acquired virtues.
Conscience responds to an invitation of love and is oriented towards the future – "the person one ought to become". In the depths of his conscience, man detects a law which he does not impose upon himself but which holds him to obedience. Man has in his heart a law written by God. In fact, conscience is the place where God speaks to us.
However, the obligation to follow conscience presupposes that we have properly formed our conscience. This is a lifelong task and an ongoing process of conversion. We are often blinded by sin to recognise moral truth all by ourselves. So we have to consult the established sources of wisdom. For a Catholic, these sources include our own experience and those of others around us; the testimony of the sacred scriptures and our creeds; the moral instruction of the teaching office (magisterium) of the Pope and the bishops: this office carries a weight of truth for Catholics that no other teacher can rightfully claim; and the informed judgement of theologians who are in communion with the Church's magisterium.
What we do ultimately shapes our character.

Dear Friend in Christ,
It's high time that the hypocrisy of "official" Catholics is exposed for all the world to see; not out of a sense of vigilante justice, but out of a sense of charity. These hypocrites are ruining the faith life of others. Please watch this episode of The Vortex and pass it along to as many friends and family as possible.
GOD Bless you and your loved ones,

Assisted Suicide Support Drops to Lowest Level in 8 Years
Gallup released the results of its latest poll today evaluating the views of Americans on various controversial issues or decisions and whether Americans believe they are morally wrong or morally acceptable.
It found the percentage of people who say doctor-assisted suicide is morally acceptable has dropped to its lowest level in 8 years. Currently, 48 percent of Americans say doctor-assisted suicide is morally wrong while just 45 percent say it is morally okay. The views of Americans on the subject has bounced around slightly over the years with a majority of 51 percent in 2008 saying the practice is morally acceptable. The last time just 45 percent of Americans said it was all right was 2003.
Gallup found 51 percent of Democrats, 50 percent of independents and just 32 percent of Republicans who say they find assisted suicide morally acceptable. When looking at an age breakdown, the views of Americans are largely consistent with just 46 percent of those 18-34, 45 percent of those 35-54 and 43 percent of those 55 and older saying assisted suicide is morally okay.
Had Gallup used the term assisted suicide without including the word, doctor, support likely would have decreased further.
When examining the issue of abortion, Gallup found more firm opposition as 51 percent of Americans say abortion is morally unacceptable versus 39 percent who do not have moral qualms with the practice of destroying human life before birth. As is the case with assisted suicide, views on abortion have changed only slightly over the years, with no more than 43 percent of Americans saying abortion is morally okay (2006) and a low-water mark of 36 percent saying so in 2009. http://www.lifenews.com/2011/05/31/assisted-suicide-support-drops-to-lowest-level-in-8-years/
Senate Gets 100K Petitions Asking to Stop Tax-Funded Abortions
A national pro-life organization has sent more than 100,000 signed petitions to members of the Senate urging them to allow a vote on a bill that would prohibit taxpayer funding of abortions across every department of the federal government.
Signaling that emotions still run high over taxpayer funding of abortions through ObamaCare and directing taxpayer monies to the nation s biggest abortion business, Planned Parenthood, Concerned Women for America delivered 101,000 petitions from its members to the U.S. Senate last week demanding action on the legislation.
This issue is long from resolved, and Americans are still fired up that their dollars are funding abortions, said Penny Nance, CEO of the conservative women s group.
It was the issue of abortion that very nearly felled ObamaCare, and it was only when a very small, but powerful group of so-called pro-life Democrats caved at the 11th hour that the massive legislation passed, continued Nance. The issue of taxpayer-funded abortion will most certainly be a concern in the upcoming presidential election. Americans don t want their money funding abortion.
Nance said polling data shows a large majority, over 60 percent, of Americans even those who identify themselves as pro-choice do not want their dollars funding abortion. She said that is evidenced by the fact that CWA obtained the signatures in a matter of weeks on the petition.
The petition read in part, As a pro-life American citizen, I am sickened over continued efforts by the abortion industry to use my tax-dollars to fund the destruction of innocent life. I urge you to use your political position to champion the plight of the unborn in our nation in the following ways: Support any and all legislative efforts to permanently prohibit taxpayer funding for abortion services in the U.S. and abroad. Support a federal ban on the funding of abortion and abortion related services both here and abroad. http://www.lifenews.com/2011/05/31/senate-gets-100k-petitions-asking-to-stop-tax-funded-abortions/
Planned Parenthood Prez: Emulate Late-Term Abortionist George Tiller
Earlier this month, Planned Parenthood abortion business president Cecile Richards delivered an address to the Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health award ceremony in New York City. There, she told pro-abortion doctors to be more like late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller.
You represent our future and you honor the memories of Doctors George Tiller and William Rashbaum and you advance the cause to which they dedicated their lives, she said. No one knows that better than Jeanne and Rebecca Tiller. Having you both here tonight means so much to us all seeing you instantly reminds us of George his kindness, his courage, his wisdom.
George was a remarkable man, a remarkable doctor, Richards said, looking ahead to today, the anniversary of the shooting death that claimed his life. We have a credo at Planned Parenthood developed by the great Lynne Randall which is that we each must strive to be more like George. More determined. Braver. Kinder. Of course, you are all like George.
Although no one in the pro-life community including Operation Rescue president Troy Newman lent any support to the men who killed Tiller, urging pro-abortion doctors to emulate the late-term abortion practitioner would have them taking the lives of unborn children late in pregnancy, violating state abortion laws and killing and injuring women in botched abortions.
He s become St. George to the abortion movement now because he was martyred to their cause, Newman said in 2009.
Before his death, the state board that monitors doctors was close to revoking Tiller s medical license on allegations that he falsified the age of unborn children before the late-term abortions that took their lives. He allegedly did so to stay within the confines of state law. http://www.lifenews.com/2011/05/31/planned-parenthood-prez-emulate-late-term-abortionist-george-tiller/
Model Kathy Ireland: De-Fund Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz
Add supermodel Kathy Ireland to the list of people wanting Congress to de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business by cutting the millions of dollars it receives to promote its agenda.
I think Planned Parenthood needs to reassess and look at what their values are, what their mission is, what their goals are, and do they deserve government funding? For example, there are non-profits that I m involved with, and we don t get government funding, Ireland told FOX411 s Pop Tarts program. We go out there, and if you really believe in this strongly enough to fight it for it, go get the funding.
To force people who don t agree with some of the practices, I don t believe in that. I don t think tax payers need to fund something as controversial as [Planned Parenthood], she added.
Ireland is not new to holding steadfast pro-life views when it comes to abortion, but she fold the Fox program it has cost her friends in the entertainment industry.
I ve never set out to win a popularity contest. I came from [being previously pro-choice], but when I was confronted with the science and I spoke to top scientists throughout our country asking, Would you please just show me some shred of evidence that the unborn is not a human being? and no one has been able to show me any, and I will continue to fight for those human rights until someone can show me otherwise, she continued. So a lot of people get mad at me, but that s okay. I listen to criticism because sometimes there are things to learn, even if it s wrapped in a nasty package.
Ireland is also confronting the battles over life and death on the end of life spectrum, as she told the YWCA Greater Los Angeles in a speech recently as the organization honored her with the 2011 Phenomenal Woman of the Year Award at its Saluting Women Who Are Instruments of Change ceremony. http://www.lifenews.com/2011/05/31/model-kathy-ireland-de-fund-planned-parenthood-abortion-biz/
Congress Must Cut UNFPA Funds to Stop Forced Abortions
You are funding forced abortions in China. So am I. Not only elective abortions. Forced abortions. It doesn t matter whether you are pro-life or pro-choice on this issue. No one can support forced abortion, because it is not a choice.
What do I mean by forced abortions? Here s a short video about a young, Chinese woman who was dragged off the street, strapped to a table and forced to abort at seven months (www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjtuBcJUsjY). You can read many more accounts of forced abortion, forced sterilization and infanticide under China s brutal One Child Policy here.
According to the Congressional-Executive Commission on China report, released on October 10, 2010, violators of China s One Child Policy continue to be victims of forced sterilization, forced abortion, arbitrary detention, and other abuses.
The One Child Policy has also led to many other serious human rights violations. http://www.lifenews.com/2011/05/31/congress-must-cut-unfpa-funds-to-stop-forced-abortions/
Text Messages to Teen Inside Abortion Business Saves Baby
A teen mother, who was saved from a coerced abortion last October after a sidewalk counselor texted her while she was inside the clinic, has given birth to a beautiful, healthy boy named Manuel.
The little boy was born on May 10 weighing 7 pounds. The following week, his mother proudly graduated from high school.
Tara Shaver, a former intern for Operation Rescue, was sidewalk counseling outside Planned Parenthood in Albuquerque, New Mexico, when she received a call from a woman who told her that her grandson s girlfriend was being forced to get an abortion that she did not want. The woman told Tara that her grandson, the baby s father, also wanted to keep the baby. They were desperate, because the girl was only 17 and her mother was insisting on the abortion against the girl s will. The grandmother gave Tara the teen s cell phone number.
Tara began a text-message conversation with the teen, who we will call Jane, while she was inside the abortion clinic. Jane was six weeks pregnant and was interested in seeing an ultrasound of her baby, but still did not want to go through with the abortion. She told Tara that her mom would not allow her to leave the clinic.
Tara continued to encourage her and even texted Jane a photo of a pre-born baby at six weeks, the same age as her baby. Texting keep their conversation private where a phone call would have alerted the mother or the abortion clinic staff to Tara s efforts to help Jane. http://www.lifenews.com/2011/05/31/text-messages-to-teen-inside-abortion-business-saves-baby/
Salon Writer Mikki Kendall Admits Embellishing Abortion Story
On my blog last week I posted an excerpt from the Salon piece, Abortion saved my life. The writer, a blogger named Mikki Kendall, was relaying her first person account of supposedly nearly hemorrhaging to death because a hospital doctor refused to perform the one procedure that would save her life, an abortion. Here was the quote I pulled:
I don t know if his objections were religious or not; all I know is that when a bleeding woman was brought to him for treatment he refused to do the only thing that could stop the bleeding. Because he didn t do abortions. Ever.
The story headline and subtitle: Abortion saved my life: I almost died in an emergency room because the doctor on call refused to perform a necessary procedure. http://www.lifenews.com/2011/05/31/salon-writer-mikki-kendall-admits-embellishing-abortion-story/
Scotland Sees Abortions Drop After Rise Over Several Years
A new report from the health department in Scotland shows abortions are down after rising for a period of several years from 2002-2008. Last year 12,826 abortions were done on women and unborn children in Scotland, compared with 13,108 in 2009. http://www.lifenews.com/2011/05/31/scotland-sees-abortions-drop-after-rise-over-several-years/

Wisconsin Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Should Lose Funding
The Wisconsin Joint Finance Committee recently voted to direct state and some federal family planning funds to public health agencies and prohibit those agencies from giving the funds to organizations and their affiliates that provide abortions or do abortion referrals. In effect, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, as the state s largest abortion provider, would not be able to receive these funds. It is far past time for the state and federal governments to stop feeding this abortion giant with taxpayer dollars. http://www.lifenews.com/2011/05/31/wisconsin-planned-parenthood-abortion-biz-should-lose-funding/

Pope upholds primacy of Gregorian chant By David Kerr
Pope Benedict XVI speaks at an Oct. 2010 concert held for his birthday
Pope Benedict XVI has reminded church musicians of the primacy of Gregorian chant in the Mass, describing it "as the supreme model of sacred music."
The Pope set out his views in a letter for the 100th anniversary of the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music. The letter was read at the institute on May 26 and made public on May 31.
He praised Gregorian chant as being "of huge value to the great ecclesial heritage of universal sacred music." But Pope Benedict also noted that sometimes it was erroneously "considered an expression of an idea corresponding to a past, gone and to be forgotten, because it limited the freedom and creativity of the individual and the community." This was a view he wanted to counter.
"We always have to ask again: who is the true subject of the Liturgy? The answer is simple: the Church. It is the individual or group that celebrates the liturgy, but it is primarily God's action through the Church, which has its own history, its rich tradition and creativity."
Gregorian chant, often referred to as plainchant, is named after the 6th century Pope Gregory the Great. He both simplified and cataloged the sacred music of the Church used throughout the year. It's been the normative music of sacred liturgy ever since.
The present Pope stressed that there's no tension between tradition and genuine progress in the development of sacred music.
"The liturgy, and therefore sacred music, lives in a correct and consistent relationship between healthy traditio and rightful progressio, always keeping in mind that these two concepts – that the Council Fathers clearly emphasized – complement each other because the tradition is a living reality and, therefore, it includes in itself the principle of development and progress."
Music is a topic of particular interest to the Pope. He's a great lover of classical music in general with a special fondness for Mozart and Bach. He's also an avid pianist who has an upright piano in his Vatican apartment.
Pope Benedict noted in his letter that all his musical conclusions are mandated by the Second Vatican Council's constitution on the sacred liturgy, "Sacrosanctum Concillium."

When Pregnancy Met Pregnancy | Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen on The Visitation | From "The World's First Love" | Ignatius Insight
Check out this website I found at ignatiusinsight.com
http://www.ignatiusinsight.com/features2011/fsheen_visitationwfl_may2011.asp
One of the most beautiful moments in history was that when pregnancy met pregnancy when childbearers became the first heralds of the King of Kings. All pagan religions begin with the teachings of adults, but Christianity begins with the birth of a Child. From that day to this, Christians have ever been the defenders of the family and the love of generation. If we ever sat down to write out what we would expect the Infinite God to do, certainly the last thing we would expect would be to see Him imprisoned in a carnal ciborium for nine months; and the next to last thing we would expect is that the "greatest man ever born of woman" while yet in his mother's womb, would salute the yet imprisoned God-man. But this is precisely what took place in the Visitation.
At the Annunciation the archangel told Mary that her cousin, Elizabeth, was about to become the mother of John the Baptist. Mary was then a young girl, but her cousin was "advanced in years," that is, quite beyond the normal age of conceiving. "See, moreover, how it fares with thy cousin Elizabeth; she is old, yet she too has conceived a son; she who was reproached with barrenness is now in her sixth month, to prove that nothing is impossible with God. And Mary said, 'Behold the handmaid of the Lord, let it be done unto me according to thy word.' And with that the angel left her." (Luke 1:36-38)
The birth of Christ is without regard to man; the birth of John the Baptist is without regard to age! "Nothing is impossible with God." The Scripture continues the story: "In the days that followed, Mary rose up and went with all haste to a city of Juda, in the hill country where Zachary dwelt; and entering in she gave Elizabeth greeting. No sooner had Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, than the child leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Ghost; so that she cried out with a loud voice, "Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. How have I deserved to be thus visited by the mother of my Lord? Why, as soon as ever the voice of thy greeting sounded in my ears, the child in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed art thou for thy believing; the message that was brought to thee from the Lord shall have fulfillment." (Luke 1:39-45)
Mary "went with all haste"; she is always in a hurry to do good. With deliberate speed she becomes the first nurse of Christian civilization. The woman hastens to meet a woman. They serve best their neighbor who bear the Christ within their hearts and souls. Bearing in herself the Secret of Salvation, Mary journeys five days from Nazareth to the city of Hebron where, according to tradition, rested the ashes of the founders of the people of God, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The terraced-fields of Juda
pregnant with seed
called out to her
as she passed, praising the Child
she was yet to bear,
invoking His Blessing
on their expectancy.*
"She gave Elizabeth greeting"; springtime served the autumn. She, who is to bear Him Who will say: "I came not to be ministered unto but to minister" now ministers unto her cousin who bears only His trumpet and His voice in the wilderness. Nothing so provokes the service of the needy as the consciousness of one's own unworthiness when visited by the grace of God, The handmaid of the Lord becomes the handmaid of Elizabeth.
On hearing the woman's greeting, the child whom Elizabeth bore within her "leaped in her womb." The Old Testament is here meeting the New Testament; the shadows dissolve with joy before the substance. All the longings and expectations of thousands of years as to Him Who would be the Saviour are now fulfilled in this one ecstatic moment when John the Baptist greets Christ, the Son of the Living God.
Mary is present at three births: at the birth of John the Baptist, at the birth of her own Divine Son, and at the "birth" of John, the Evangelist, at the foot of the Cross, as the Master saluted him: "Behold thy mother!" Mary, the Woman, presided at the three great moments of life: at a birth on the occasion of the Visitation, at a marriage at the Marriage Feast of Cana, and at a Death, or surrender of Life, at the Crucifixion of her Divine Son.
"The child leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Ghost." A Pentecost came before Pentecost. The physical body of Christ within Mary now fills John the Baptist with the Spirit of Christ; thirty-three years later the Mystical Body of Christ, His Church, will be filled with the Holy Spirit, as Mary, too, will be in the midst of the Apostles abiding in prayer. John is sanctified by Jesus. So Jesus is not as John – not man alone, but God, as well.
The second part of the second most beautiful prayer in the world, the Hail Mary, is now about to be written; the first part was spoken by an angel: "Hail (Mary) full of grace; the Lord is with Thee; blessed art thou amongst women." (Luke 1:28)
Now Elizabeth adds the second part in a "loud voice"; "Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb (Jesus)" Old age is here not jealous of youth or privilege, for Elizabeth makes the first public proclamation that Mary is the Mother of God: "How have I deserved to be thus visited by the mother of my Lord?" She learned it less from Mary's lips than from the Spirit of God nestling over her womb. Mary received the Spirit of God through an angel; Elizabeth was the first to receive it through Mary.
Cousin-nurse at birth, Mother-nurse at death. There is nothing Mary has that is for herself alone – not even her Son. Before He is born, her Son belongs to others. No sooner does she have the Divine Host within herself than she rises from the Communion rail of Nazareth to visit the aged and to make her young. Elizabeth would never live to see her son lose his head to the dancing stepdaughter of Herod, but Mary would live and die at once in seeing her Son taste death, that death might be no more.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen (1895-1979) is considered by many to be the most influential Catholic of the 20th century in America. Millions of people watched his incredibly popular television series every week, "Life is Worth Living", and millions more listened to his radio program, "The Catholic Hour". Wherever he preached in public, standing-room-only crowds packed churches and halls to hear him. He had the same kind of charisma and holiness that attracts so many people to Pope John Paul II, who called Sheen "a loyal son of the Church."

This exciting book is one of the first textbooks in the fast growing area of sustainability accounting. Contributed to, and edited by an impressive array of internationally renowned authorities, it focuses on the use of sustainability accounting both as an external accountability mechanism (external reporting) and as a tool for helping managers assess and manage the social and environmental impacts of their operations (management accounting). Using real-life examples and case studies to emphasize the links between the conceptual basis and issues in practice, this outstanding book addresses the growing interest among both practitioners and academics in social, environmental and ethical accountability, as interpreted through the lens of sustainable development. © 2007 Jeffrey Unerman, Jan Bebbington and Brendan O'Dwyer for editorial selection and material; individual contributors, their own contribution.

Introduction to sustainability accounting and accountability


Massage is a form of therapeutic touch that involves the manipulation of the body's soft tissues – muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues to create better health and wellbeing.
It is used to help relieve long term back and neck problems, to help sustain muscle function and range of movement in order to advance in your sport, to improve circulation and sleep, reduce tension and help recovery from injury. It can be useful to maintain muscle health and lessen pain for those with Parkinson's Disease and can help reduce the pain felt from high tone muscles found following stroke.
If appropriate you may be given exercises in order to maximise the results of the massage. If you are working towards an exercise goal think about using massage as part of your training to help keep your muscles healthy and working well.
I learnt massage as part of my physiotherapy degree . After completing my degree I took part in a course run by the Chartered Physiotherapist in Massage and Soft Tissue Therapies special interest group. There I honed the techniques I had begun to develop as a newly qualified physiotherapist.
The type of massage I do now is a mixture of techniques I have learnt in my 14 years as a physiotherapist. As a basis I use massage strokes to warm up the muscles starting with large sweeping movements becoming gradually smaller and more muscle specific, working deeper and deeper to release tension. I then use trigger point release techniques to target specific tension points that remain.
These trigger points are caused by muscle fibres becoming sticky and preventing smooth contraction and relaxation of the muscle. They can cause pain at the trigger point site or can refer pain into other areas. The release of these trigger points allows muscles to lengthen and work more effectively. Trigger point massage involves using the fingers or knuckles to compress muscle knots for 10-30 seconds in order to release stored toxins and allow the muscle to release the spasm. This can be painful in the short term but is very useful for releasing long held tension.
Your first massage session will involve answering some questions to establish the reason for your massage and ensure it is safe for you to be massaged. We will discuss a comfortable massage position and which type of massage lotion is appropriate. This session may last up to an hour with the massage itself lasting 30 mins (back neck and shoulder or legs). All further sessions will last up to 45 mins with the massage itself lasting 30 mins. If you would like full body massage, this will cost £45 for 45mins. Please state on booking your preference.
Trigger point massage can be uncomfortable during treatment. I will always ask how you feel while using this technique so I can gauge how much of this technique to use. If you prefer to have a more gentle massage please ask.
If you are receiving a back or neck massage you will be required to remove your upper body clothing. If you are receiving a leg massage you will be required to remove your lower body outerwear. You may wish to wear shorts. You will be covered with a towel to maintain your dignity.
I use a massage table covered in towels, and pillows to ensure you are in a comfortable position throughout the massage. If you struggle to lie flat we can modify your position and if necessary work with you in sitting, supported with pillows so you can relax.
Please ensure you drink plenty of fluids after your massage as this helps your body deal with the after effects of muscle work. You may feel gently relaxed or tired after a massage, this is normal and should pass.


In August of 2017, Alia Salem and Huma Yasin decided to launch something for Muslim parishioners to go for help. They'd seen enough. An imam in Irving had been accused of "sexually grooming" an 18-year-old congregant, beginning when she was 13. He was fired by the Islamic Center of Irving, one of the largest mosques in Texas, but had been recently hired by the Grand Prairie Islamic Society. He got the job despite his previous mosque having sent a letter to 2,000 institutions urging them to stay away. And yet, he found a new position just miles away.
This spiritual abuse—when an imam, sheikh, or a Muslim uses their power to harass, assault, or otherwise manipulate a member of the community—is rarely discussed, and victims and their families have few resources after it happens to them. And so Salem and Yasin set about changing that. They launched a nonprofit called Facing Abuse in Community Environments, or FACE, which helps survivors work through their experience and connects them with services like counseling and even the police—so long as the victims are welcoming of a criminal investigation.
For the past 14 years, Salem, an Egyptian-American, has been an organizational developer and social justice organizer for Muslims in the Dallas area. She was previously the executive director at CAIR-DFW, the Council of American Islamic Relations, and is the founder of the Dallas Palestine Action Committee. She helps organize REAL City in Dallas, a bi-annual event where millennial professionals come together with intersectional activists to learn about race, equity, action, and leadership.
Yasin, meanwhile, is an Oklahoma-native who has lived in Dallas for the past 13 years. She is a Pakistani attorney, practicing international humanitarian law, and a writer with work in the New York Times, Washington Post, and the Hill. She is currently writing a book recreating the Fort Dix Five sting, which details FBI overreach in Muslim communities. They first met in 2012 when a tornado hit Arlington and an organization Salem was working for at the time helped clean up Yasin's demolished home. Since then, they have been very close friends.
Men and women come to FACE with reports of physical, sexual, financial, and spiritual abuse. If a case calls for due process, like if someone steals money from mosque donations, then police are notified. The overwhelming amount of cases have to do with women and sexual assault, Salem says. FACE is currently working on about 20 claims.
When survivors come forward with credible allegations, FACE helps them understand the process behind reporting a crime. FACE helps with mental health and victim advocacy services. If necessary, they get in touch with organizations that help survivors financially. FACE is fierce with anonymity and confidentiality in order to create an atmosphere where survivors can safely share their stories.
Salem mentions a case of a young woman who came forward about an abuser who had relationships with her and other women. He would lure them into an engagement, seeking marriage, and then sexually or physically abuse them. He would abuse their trust. Salem had multiple conversations with one victim. At the very last minute, before establishing consent to start an investigation, the victim pulled back. It was too traumatizing for her. She feared the information becoming public, Salem says.
"As an individual, that can be frustrating for me. But, speaking professionally, it really sanctifies the process when you give the power back to the victim," she says.
Yasin says that's one thing the community needs to work on. She wants the community to lift up people who have been victims of abuse and provide a safe place to report it. Salem and Yasin face criticism from the community for their efforts, they say. People say they are pursuing FACE for fame. Others say—despite respecting Salem and Yasin as activist Muslim women—that they just don't believe in FACE.
Yasin believes the shura, a council in Muslim communities or mosques, doesn't have malicious intent. She says when cases of abuse are addressed, they don't know how to take preventive action. In fact, how to address spiritual abuse is rarely discussed in the Muslim community. When a case reaches the public eye, it soon fades. Few in the community know if the abuser was held accountable by law.
Take this one. Two kids reportedly told their parents that an elderly man at ICI kissed their cheeks. Parents approached the mosque board with concern but stated they didn't want to file a report. The board conducted its own investigation, allowing the elderly man who was visiting from abroad to return to his country. As soon as Imam Nick Pelletier, from ICI, heard about the incident, he reported it to police. However, Pelletier was put on administrative leave after he delivered a khutbah—a sermon—on the mosque board's failure to report child molestation to police sooner.
"If you're a child or teenager and someone's touching you—in a way you don't feel is appropriate—whether it's kissing you, or hugging you too much, you need to report it. And if you happen to be privy to this information, you need to report it. Especially if you hold a position of authority in the [mosque]", Pelletier said in his sermon.
Pelletier's fiery sermon went viral, then was taken down by ICI. It was re-uploaded by FACE on their Facebook page. ICI posted a statement mentioning why Pelletier was put on leave, suggesting he led the sermon without "knowing all of the facts" because he wasn't on the board. Muslims on Twitter were quick to react with #IStandWithImamNick.
However, she says she doesn't see that happening anytime soon. Commenting on the case with the imam who was welcomed back at the Grand Prairie Islamic Center, Yasin says it's not the first time an imam has been rehired despite allegations. That's why FACE wants to gain traction and demonstrate that there are consequences for those who abuse positions of power.
Salem and Yasin say that, although they are not scholars, they understand the basic principles of their faith. They are primarily business professionals who have strong community ties and see a gap in resources and accountability when addressing abuse that local Muslims may be facing. They serve as a medium for survivors if they don't feel comfortable making a direct report to police.
Though she doesn't want to discredit the American black Muslim or indigenous experience, Yasin is focusing on the immigrant experience. She believes generations of Muslims are leaving their faith, and worries about how much the community is responsible.
"Once someone is a trauma victim they are a trauma victim for life. They learn how to navigate that space, but the body doesn't forget. Our intention is to prevent other vulnerable people from being in that situation. I don't say this with any pride or arrogance, but we are doing ground-breaking work," Salem says.

Assessing Chile's Pension System: Challenges and Reform Options
IMF Working Paper No. 2021/232
See all articles by Christopher Evans

Date Written: September 2021
Chile's pension system came under close scrutiny in recent years. This paper takes stock of the adequacy of the system and highlights its challenges. Chile's defined contribution system was quite influential when introduced, and was taken as an example by other countries. However, it is now delivering low replacement rates relative to OECD peers, as its parameters did not adapt over time to changing demographics and global returns, while informality persists in the labor market. In the absence of reforms, the system's inability to deliver adequate outcomes for a large share of participants will continue to magnify, as demographic trends and low global interest rates will continue to reduce replacement rates. In addition, recent legislation allowing for pension savings withdrawals to counter the effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, is projected to further reduce replacement rates and increase fiscal costs. A substantial improvement in replacement rates is feasible, via a reform that raises contribution rates and the retirement age, coupled with policies that increases workers' contribution density.
