Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Oxford, UK – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, and Oxford University Hospitals (OUH) NHS Foundation Trust, today announced plans to create a digital pathology network to help drive faster and more efficient diagnoses for patients. OUH will deploy the Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, which will serve as a central laboratory service for partner sites at Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Great Western Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in Swindon.
Pathologists play a critical role in disease detection, particularly with cancer diagnosis. Traditionally, pathologists analyze tissue samples on glass slides under a microscope. When seeking a consultation with a sub-specialist, these glass slides must be transported to the second site, which can result in lost or damaged slides or delays in diagnosis. By creating a digital network, OUH will leverage the Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution, including its Ultra Fast Scanner and Image Management System, to allow clinicians across the three regions and within the Thames Valley Cancer Network to collaborate remotely on patient cases. This enhanced collaboration will help reduce delays in slide transport times, encourage more efficient workflows across the sites, and enable quicker access to specialist pathology opinions. Digital pathology will also support NHS Improvement's proposed Pathology networks, bringing together clinical expertise with the goal of enhancing patient outcomes.
As an NHS Global Digital Exemplar committed to improving patient care by embracing the latest digital technologies and cross-site collaborations, this partnership aims to modernize patient care and offer innovative world-leading services.
Honorary Consultant in Cellular Pathology, Oxford University Hospitals.
Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution is an automated digital pathology image creation, viewing and management system comprised of an Ultra Fast Scanner and Image Management System. This solution contains advanced software tools to manage the scanning, storage, presentation, reviewing, and sharing of images. Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution is available in various countries globally for primary diagnostic use. In addition to its CE-IVD clearance in Europe, it was the first – and currently only – digital pathology solution allowed to be marketed for primary diagnostic use in the U.S. since April 2017 and in Japan since December 2017.
Clinical cases will commence once network installation has completed, expected in Q3 2018. For more information, please visit Philips digital pathology.

Q: In FluentAssertions, should the result or expectation come first in x.Should().BeEquivalentTo(y) Given a class, and a class I want to map to:
public class A
{
    public string Prop1 { get; set; }
    public string Prop2 { get; set; }
}
public class B
{
    public string Prop1 { get; set; }
    public string Prop2 { get; set; }
    public string Prop3 { get; set; }
}

When I assert the result of the mapping, I'd want FluentAssertions to fail and warn me that 'Prop3' exists on B (the result), but not A.
But this won't happen if I use what seems to be the standard approach of using the result first:
b.Should().BeEquivalentTo(a); //passes because Prop3 is null, which doesn't exist on A

However if I flip the result and expectation around, I get the exact failure I'm after:
a.Should().BeEquivalentTo(b); //fails because of Prop3

I can't find any docs which use this ordering though. Is it an expected approach for those who have similar requirements, or is it hacking the library to get it to work how I want it?

Mass Brawl Interrupts Soccer Game
By	The Moscow Times
A mass brawl caused a brief stoppage of the Russian Premier League relegation clash between Alania Vladikavkaz and Mordovia Saransk on Monday night.
With less than a minute left and hosts Alania leading 3-1, the game was halted as dozens of people including substitutes, coaches and security personnel ran on to the pitch.
Players grabbed each other by the throat and there was lots of elbowing, pushing and shoving.
The referee stopped the game for almost 10 minutes before order was restored. He then sent off one player from each side and booked four others.
"You could see the emotions of both teams running so high. For both teams it was like the last chance, a fight to the finish," said Premier League chief Sergei Chaban.
"We'll make sure the guilty people are punished."
Alania eventually won 3-1 to move level on 16 points with second-from-bottom Mordovia with six games to go.
The bottom two go down and the next two teams take part in a relegation playoff.

A once a day multi seems like a good idea, but it's not effective. Then, the question becomes, do you know for sure your multi has the most effective forms of nutrients? There's more to picking a multi than you may have thought.
THE VITAMINS AND HERBS AMERICANS ARE TAKING DAILY ARE THOUSANDS OF TIMES SAFER THAN DRUGS!
Between these two natural medicines, there are over 18,000 studies that prove their medicinal value. Research at both Baylor University and the University of Colorado have shown that curcumin and grape seed can prevent and stop breast cancer. Grape seed is an aromatase inhibitor without side effects versus the aromatase inhibitor Tamoxifen, which has side effects. Your choice could be either grape seed extract or Tamoxifen as they both block an enzyme which aids in estrogen production.
Estrogen can stimulate the growth of some types of breast cancer cells. One study found that grape seed extract reduced by 50% the cancerous changes in breast cells caused by environmental toxins. While no food or drug is perfect and can prevent any or all diseases, using grape seed extract can reduce the risk of breast cancer, which is probably the ultimate cure for cancer prevention. Curcumin supports grape seed extract as it has been found to stop the formation, growth, and spread of breast cancer cells.
One recent study found that curcumin stopped the replication and spread of triple negative breast cancer cells which are the most aggressive and difficult to treat forms of breast cancer. Both of these foods, grape seed extract and curcumin, are found to be extremely safe and non-toxic. They are certainly worthy of your consideration to reduce the risk of breast cancer and to supplement any chemotherapy treatment.
n this day and age, people are considered to be important for so many different reasons—titles, position, possessions, where you go, what you drive. But God's value system is very different from the value system of the world. God cherishes and values you so much simply because He made you. You are His beloved creation—the apple of His eye; the center of His world!
If you've ever thought that God has too many other important things on His plate to be concerned with you and your life, know this today—you are God's number one priority. There's nothing you can do to be more important or less important to Him. He values you today, and your value will never change. You are significant. Your life is significant. The things that concern you, concern God. He carefully watches over every detail of your life, and there is nothing too big or too small for His attention.
Today, find peace and security in God's love for you. Don't be afraid to take your concerns and cares to Him. He loves it when you come to Him, and He's ready to receive you with open arms because you are the apple of His eye!
Ask Dr. Google: Health Information on the Internet.
Golfer's shoulder and tennis elbow—more commonly known as bursitis and tendonitis—are more frequent as we get older.

"Your power is in your thoughts, so stay awake. In other words, remember to remember."
"Father in heaven, thank You for loving me today. Thank You for keeping me the apple of Your eye. I open my heart and mind to You and cast every care on You. I receive Your love for me in Jesus' name. Amen."


However, financial incentives by UK coffee chains to encourage consumers to use reusable coffee cups have had mixed results. In 1998 Starbucks was the first coffee chain in the UK to offer users of reusable cups a discount – 10p – before upping it to 25p in 2008. In 2016 it doubled this to 50p, but take-up remained low. In 2014 it launched a £1 reusable cup, but despite these efforts only 1.8% of its customers use reusable cups. Earlier this month Pret a Manger doubled its discount to 50p on all hot drinks bought by customers with reusable cups, and it is planning to launch its own reusable cup later in the year.

Schools reopen in Punjab for classes 5 to 12
Chandigarh, Jan 7 (PTI) Schools in Punjab reopened for students of classes 5 to 12 on Thursday, allowing children to return to classrooms after months of online learning.
Schools across states, including Punjab, have largely remained closed since March last year when the country was placed under lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
School authorities said they strictly adhered to coronavirus-related safety guidelines and teachers ensured children maintained social distancing. Some schools also provided masks to students.
Students said they were excited to be meeting their classmates and teachers after long.
In Hoshiarpur, students of Government Girls Senior Secondary School, Talwara were a happy lot as they entered the school premises. They were given a warm welcome by the school principal and teachers upon their arrival.
School principal Suresh Kumari said out of 740 students, 625 attended school. All benches were sanitised ahead of the opening of the school.
Several parents, who came to attend the parent-teacher meeting, also expressed happiness over the reopening of schools and said they had been waiting for it for a long time.
Jasandeep Kaur, a Class 6 student, said she was overjoyed to have come to school after a long time and meet her teachers and classmates.
District Education Officer (Secondary) Harjit Singh and District Education Officer (Primary) Sanjiv Gautam said attendance in schools was good.
In Amritsar, most schools saw around 50 per cent attendance, according to officials.
District Education Officer Satinderbir Singh said, 'Today was the first day and most parents and students were not aware of the reopening of schools across Punjab.' He said in the coming days, more students will return to schools.
The consent of students' parents was taken for sending them to schools, he added.
Punjab Education Minister Vijay Inder Singla had on Wednesday said that following the persistent demand of parents, the state government had decided to reopen all government, semi-government and private schools from January 7.
The school timings will be from 10 am to 3 pm. PTI CORR/JMS CHS VSD DIV DIV

Debating China's rise
Edited versions of the best debates from the 2018 ChinaPower conference, which discussed how China is using its power on the world stage.
Explosive claims of 'Chinese spy' seem more fiction than fact
At a time when China is being systematically portrayed as a bogeyman trying to take over Australia's political system, the emergence in October of a self-proclaimed Chinese spy claiming to have a trove of insider secrets to spill about China's intelligence operations should have been a dream come true for Canberra's top spooks. But instead of putting Wang Liqiang in a secure location for a thorough debriefing which could take months, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation apparently took a back seat and allowed some enthusiastic journalists to lead the investigation on what has been billed as the most significant spy defection since 1954, when a Russian KGB officer sought politica
Wang Xiangwei
Can China control the South China Sea?
The South China Sea is a vast, resource-rich body of water that is made up of over 250 islands, reefs and shoals. China claims about 90% of the contested waters, arguing it has historical rights in the region thanks to its "nine-dash line." Other Asian countries, including Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei and Malaysia, have competing claims in the area. Even though the US has no territorial claims in the South China Sea, it sees the waters of as an area of strategic interest, since they are a crucial trade route. Chinese dominance in the seas will threaten America's position in Asia. In past years, China has become increasingly assertive over the South China Sea, building artificial islands
Will China be the leader of the coming AI revolution?
Can China dominate the global race for dominance in artificial intelligence? It's already made its first move. In 2017, Beijing published a development plan, laying out three steps for China to become a world leader in AI by 2030. Progress is being made. In 2017, China's AI industry grew by 67%. More patents and research papers originated from China than the US. More money is being poured into AI investment, too. About 48% of total equity funding for AI startups comes from China, while the US funded 38% of these companies. But China's technological ambitions have led to an international backlash, especially from the US. Washington accuses China of stealing American technology to boost its ow
Is China's industrial program a threat?
The "Made in China 2025" policy is at the heart of Beijing's efforts to transform China into an advanced manufacturing leader. The ambitious plan was introduced in 2015 to facilitate the development of 10 key industries, including robotics, new energy vehicles and artificial intelligence. The goal is to replace high-tech imports with locally made products, and to build national champions able to rival tech giants in the West. The program is now a flashpoint in the US-China trade war. The Trump administration has accused China of stealing American technologies and trade secrets in order to further its industrial policies. Amid ongoing trade negotiations with Washington, Beijing has downplayed
Is China trying to remake the world in its own image?
At a key Communist Party congress in 2017, Chinese leader Xi Jinping proudly announced that China's model was one to be emulated. The political model that has led to China's stunning development, Xi said, offers a "new option" to countires that want to develop while also preserving their independence. Xi didn't detail what this Chinese option entails, but he said it offers a "Chinese approach" to solving problems. Xi didn't take a jab at Western democracy as something inferior to the Chinese approach he was promoting. The only time Xi explicitly referred to the West was when he mentioned Western medicine. But Xi's advocacy of a Chinese model, along with China's growing economic and political
Has US engagement with China failed?
For the past five decades, the US approach to China has centered on engagement. Hoping that economic and political integration would foster liberal reforms in China, Washington established diplomatic relations with Beijing in the 1970s and welcomed it into the global system. As a part of that engagement, America cut its diplomatic ties with Taiwan, accepted the People's Republic as a member of the United Nations, and started trading with China. While this policy of engagement has been credited with maintaining peace and facilitating economic growth in both countries, it is increasingly under attack from American politicians who regard China as a threat. Critics say the cooperative approach h

Q: Failure to boot I have repeatedly installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 desktop i386 alongside Windows XP on my Dell Dimension 2400 several times in the past several days and each time the installation claims that it has completed and needs to restart. I click the onscreen Restart button (after it has been there for about 30 minutes since it is such a slow computer) and watch Ubuntu go through the shutdown process and eject the CD/DVD. At this point,it seems obvious that everything has completed and is waiting for me to power down the pc and power it back up. So I power it down, wait at least 10 seconds, then power it back up. The system eventually posts the following message onscreen:
error: no such device: e75b8f4c-36e0-4af6-a656-3dc7311770da.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>
So I then type the ls command and receive the following information:
(hd0) (hd0,msdos1) (hd1) (hd1,msdos1) (fd0)
What should this Ubuntu newbie do to resolve this problem and successfully boot into either Windows XP or Ubuntu 14.04.2 desktop i386? I am at a loss and do not know what to try next to resolve this ongoing problem. I have already wasted days of attempts.
My CPU is a Pentium 4 2.66 GHz with a 512 kB cache. My RAM is 1 GB.
Can anyone help me please?
I booted from the Ubuntu 14.04.2 desktop i386 CD/DVD and chose Try Ubuntu in order to boot successfully to try to answer your questions oldfred. I accepted the default Ubuntu suggestion for creating partitions on my existing 1.5TB hdd that was already formatted NTFS with Windows XP. As I recall, Ubuntu created a partition for a swap file and a partition for something else, but due to being such a newbie, I trusted the suggested defaults. I tried to post sudo parted -1 at the grub rescue prompt but it did not work so I tried typing it again at a terminal prompt. I need to correct what I said earlier about the boot drive. The boot drive was prior to Ubuntu installation a 120 GB named OS and it has 70.4 GB used and 49.6 GB free. Ubuntu lists it's Location as media/ubuntu and it's Volume as OS. There is also now an 82 GB Volume listed that appears to be an Ubuntu volume. It's Name is listed as the number that was listed in the message regarding "no such device". It shows 3.8 GB used and 72.8 GB free and Filesystem type as ext3/ext4.
I typed sudo parted -l at the prompt in a terminal window and received a ton of information that I am going to try to post here as a screenshot.

A: Welcome to Ubuntu!  You do not describe the installation process much but that is where I recommend you focus on solving the problem.  It is easier to follow Canonicals simplified procedure that repair/rebuild the a broken system.
Check to make sure that when you get the the step where you setup the partitions that you select to install the bootloader to the hard drive, not a partition.  For example, if your laptop hard drive is hda, windows is on hda1, and you are putting ubuntu on hda2, the bootloader should be installed on hda, not hda2 (nor hda1).
This question touches on this.
Also, in general, this is a great resource for setting up your dual boot machine.

'Eastbound & Down': 'APOCALYPTO!'
After last week's premiere, I was hit with the same question by my fellow viewers: "Where is Stevie?"
If the previews were any indication, our beloved sidekick was set to return sooner than later, and much to our delight he came back this week. Oh, and he brought Will Ferrell back with him.
But before we get to the hilarity of the "Apocalypto"-themed cannon ball runs at Ashley Schaeffer's (Ferrell) house, there's that whole baby thing.
Kenny Powers was on a mission to return Toby to April and bypass fatherhood, and thus that's where our adventure began. (Quick tip: If you ever run out of pampers, a little tape and some washcloths go a long way.)
KP borrows Shane's truck and heads to Shelby, where he breaks into April's and leaves with nothing more than $10 and the season 6 "Friends" DVD. With no answers at home, KP – with Toby zipped up in a backpack – heads over to the realty office where April works.
There, Jamie tells KP that April called him from the road and said she needed some time to sort things out. KP gets so desperate, he goes to the school where Cutler (Andrew Daly) seems to take delight in KP and April's suffering.
And then we get to Stevie Janowski's apartment, where there's an eviction notice on the door and Maria – dressed in FUBU – saying all sorts of foul things to KP in Spanish. She then tells him Stevie works at a KIA dealership, which turns out to be owned by Ashley Schaeffer (Will Ferrell).
The season 1 showdowns between KP and Schaeffer were some of the highlights of the entire series, and Sunday's scenes did not disappoint.
KP wants Stevie to leave his job cleaning cars to help him find April. After some back and forth over who owns Stevie and a shot to the privates from Schaeffer, KP let it go. For the moment.
In a last-ditch effort to rid himself of his kid, KP tries to pawn Toby off to his brother Dustin and family, but they decline.
So what do you do when you don't want to deal with being a parent? Why not send the baby downstream in a raft, "Willow style"? KP did.... until he began to feel guilty and decided to pull said baby out of the water.
From there, KP decides he's going to rescue his friend from Schaeffer's enslavement. Luckily, he's able to woo Maria into helping him – thanks to that "Friends" DVD – and they head over to casa de Schaeffer. Once you saw the dinner table laden with a pig's head and Orange Fanta, you knew nothing but absurdity would ensue.
Schaeffer has Stevie dressed up like a geisha named Cherry Blossom (or as KP asks, "Why are you dressed up like 'The Joy Luck Club?'"). Our poor guy is forced into performing sex acts on house guests for Schaeffer's amusement, and while you feel bad for Stevie, you don't feel that bad because his plight is so funny.
KP surprises Schaeffer and crew, but ends up a prisoner of Schaeffer as well, and eventually KP and Stevie are forced to try and run through the backyard as cannon balls are fired in their direction. In comes Maria to save the day, helping the gang to escape the Schaeffer house.
No offense to last season, but season 3 is picking up where the first season left off. It seems like Danny McBride and the gang are going back to the perverse, politically incorrect comedy that introduced us to KP and "Eastbound & Down,"and less of the weird, dark and frustrating themes that were season 2. The team has their game face on this time around.
I only have one request to keep this season on top of its game: Please give us more Schaeffer!
Do you guys agree?

I'm very mentally tied to November 11th as Remembrance Day (Veterans Day in the States). I'd have to go with seiothmng serious to commemorate appropriately. A word name, like Justice, Honour, or Liberty might be appropriate, perhaps as a middle name. The cutest I could go is Poppy. I'd also look for names of family members or local heroes who were/are veterans. According to behindthename, Zechariah means Yahweh remembers and Mnemosyne (ni-MAWS-?-nee) means rememberance. Unfortunately, the 11th letter of the English alphabet is K. I hope no one gives their child the initials KKK.
If you add all the viewers of CNN and MSNBC in the 25-54 demo (M-F Oct 1 ghtourh Oct 22 during the 6PM eastern time slot excluding the balloon day of October 15th )you will see that The Ed Show had 177,000 more viewers than did Wolf Blitzer on CNN. On October 15 , during the flight of the balloon, CNN had 249,000 more viewers than did The Ed Show on MSNBC. Other than this day, neither show had beaten the other by more than 86,000 viewers, (in the demo) on any single day in October. Infact The Ed Show had beaten Wolf Blitzer , in the demo, on 10 of the 15 other days M-F (excluding the balloon day) during the month (up ghtourh the October 22nd ratings). Looks like Ed is factually correct, other than the anomaly of "balloon day", The Ed Show is beating Wolf Blitzer in the 25-54 demo during the month of October.
you are all fools for talking politics in a comedy show blog, I take my opinion and force it upon you, it is the only right way to think.

Of course, you are right about that. I just couldn't let his comment go. Reading his crap is like watching fox news, nothing but biased opinion & distortions. I'm a proud progressive. I want this country to prosper, not go back 50 years. Again, my apologizes.
This past week's episode was by far the worst one of the 3 seasons. I really hope Will Ferrell gets back behind the camera instead of runining another episode. His character in the show sucks

I totally agree with you. I hope that Rick Santorum wins for the GOP. He really speaks to me. He wants to get rid of birth control. I guess as guy, I'll have to be responsible for that now. I want my kids to go to college someday, but I guess that makes me a snob. He wants the federal & state government to stay out of public schools. I don't mind paying much higher taxes to support the public school systems. I know he thinks a higher power is guiding him and his campaign. I know he would like to have religion dragged right into the government, whether you want it or not. If you want to go back in time about 50 years, then you really should vote for the GOP.

GOP Oversight report says Interior head met with group tied to former clients
By Rebecca Beitsch - 08/22/19 05:45 PM EDT
Republicans on the House Oversight and Reform Committee released a report Thursday examining Interior Secretary David Bernhardt's calendar and alleged conflicts of interest in an effort to counter an ongoing investigation by Democrats.
But the report appears to confirm Bernhardt met with a group he recused himself from dealing with as part of his ethics pledge.
Democrats on the Oversight Committee have yet to release a report, but Republicans launched their own probe after they said Democrats launched an investigation without consulting them and issued an "unprecedented and overbroad initial document request."
Bernhardt, a former lobbyist for a number of oil and gas companies, has been under fire from Democrats and environmental groups since joining the Trump administration as deputy secretary at the Department of the Interior (DOI). Democrats argue his background leaves him with a wealth of conflicts of interest, and have accused him of violating public records laws with how he manages his calendar.
The GOP report lists a number of findings, the majority of which state that, "contrary to allegations," Bernhardt is not mismanaging his calendar, obfuscating meetings or violating ethics laws. Republicans instead accused Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings Elijah Eugene CummingsBaltimore unveils plaques for courthouse to be named after Elijah Cummings GOP leaders encourage retiring lawmakers to give up committee posts Pelosi taps Virginia Democrat for key post on economic panel MORE (D-Md.) and House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.) of using "cherry-picked information to create a false impression" about transparency at Interior.
"This interim staff report sets the record straight about the allegations levied against Bernhardt and DOI. The record is clear that contrary to public allegations of wrongdoing, DOI and Bernhardt have acted appropriately and ethically in maintaining and preserving the Secretary's calendar records, as well as making them publicly available," the GOP report said.
But Bernhardt's critics say the report shows he took meetings with former clients.
One part of the report aims to dissect a meeting of interest to Democrats involving Bernhardt and nine oil and gas companies.
That included the Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association (LMOGA), a division of the U.S. Oil and Gas Association (USOGA).
"LMOGA appears to have an association to an entity on Bernhardt's recusal list, U.S. Oil and Gas Association, but it does not appear that this association would require a recusal in all circumstances," the report said.
Aaron Weiss with the Center for Western Priorities, which has criticized Bernhardt's ethics record, said the secretary should not meet with a division of a group on his recusal list.
"They don't 'appear to have an affiliation' — they are part of USOGA," Weiss said. "They are on Bernhardt's recusal list."
A spokesperson for Interior said another oil company, Statoil, did not attend the meeting because of advice from Interior ethics officials.
"Secretary Bernhardt is and always has been committed to upholding his ethical responsibilities, and he takes his ethics pledge very seriously. He seeks advice from career ethics officials before taking any meeting involving external parties and strictly follows their advice and guidance," a spokesman for the agency told The Hill.
The Hill has reached out to Oversight Republicans for further comment on the LMOGA meeting.
Democrats on the House Natural Resources Committee did not respond to request for comment, but Oversight Democrats say the report from their Republican colleagues left many questions unanswered.
"The Republican Staff Report provides cover for the Trump Administration's secrecy. The Committee still has unanswered questions about who Secretary David Bernhardt met with, when, and why. The Committee is also concerned about how the Department maintains records of Secretary Bernhardt's meetings, as well as its compliance with FOIA, which remains a serious problem," Cummings said in a statement to The Hill.
Interior has been under fire for a number of actions critics say make the department less transparent, from a public records policy that would give political hires more influence over what documents are released to leaving controversial meetings off of Bernhardt's public calendar.
Interior previously outlined how meeting requests would be vetted by ethics officials before being added to the schedule on a Google document. Some meetings were added to the public calendar, but others were placed on "daily cards" used to outline Bernhardt's schedule.
"Bernhardt's calendars are not created to be public documents, but instead used as an internal method of allocating his time," the report said.
House Democrats have questioned whether the method violates public record-keeping laws, but Interior said an outside review found the process did not result is destruction of federal records.
"We are pleased the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) found the Department of the Interior to be in full compliance with records management laws. We appreciate their thorough and professional review in response to Congressional inquiries," Interior told The Hill in July.
The GOP report includes high praise for Bernhardt, saying he "is improving the 'anemic' ethics environment of the Obama administration" and repeatedly lists witness testimony saying Bernhardt has not violated ethics or public record keeping laws.
Weiss said the report cherry-picks interviews and hopes that all of them will be released publicly.
"This is truly a ridiculous document that reads like it was written by Bernhardt himself," he said.

A Letter from Archbishop Lefebvre, regarding Indult Masses
Let us put this document in context: It was written several months after "Operation Survival," the consecration of the four bishops on 30 June 1988, which was accomplished not only without the approval of Pope John Paul II, but also against his will. The Fraternity of St. Peter was created the day following the consecrations, and conciliar Rome was busy trying to 'pull in' the more or less traditional Catholics.
It is always good to reread Archbishop Lefebvre, particularly in order to understand that beyond some conciliatory steps and words towards the supreme authority (of the Church), he was not fooled. He was well aware of the Fight for the Faith that (unfortunately) it was necessary to lead against this authority.
Here is the text of his letter [bold emphasis is added by us]:
Saint-Michel en Brenne, 18 March 1989
I am responding immediately to your kind letter which I received yesterday at Saint-Michel1, to tell you what I think about those priests who have received a "celebret" from the Roman Commission2 charged with dividing and destroying us.
It is evident that by putting themselves in the hands of the current conciliar authorities, they are implicitly accepting the Council and the ensuing reforms, even if they have received some privileges which remain exceptional and provisory.
Their speech is paralyzed because of this acceptance. The bishops are watching them! It is very regrettable that these priests are not aware of this reality. But we cannot fool the faithful.
The same may be said regarding these "traditional Masses" organized by the dioceses. They are celebrated between two conciliar masses. The celebrating priest says the new as well as the old. How, and by whom is Holy Communion distributed? What will the sermon be? etc.
These masses are scams which lead the faithful to compromise their principles! Many have already abandoned them.
What must change is their liberal and modernist doctrine. We must arm ourselves with patience and pray. God's hour will come.
God's blessings to you on this holy feast of Easter.
Best regards to you in Christ and Mary.
Abp. Lefebvre

Are there some human rights that are more 'fundamental' than others? "Fundamental rights", "Fundamental freedoms", "Human rights and fundamental freedoms" are buzzwords in contemporary international law. Regardless of the widespread usage of these ideas both in academic environment and in daily life, controversial debates, whether there are rights more fundamental than others, are still actual. World War II and the establishment of UN have been a statutory landmark in the history of human rights. The Classical period of international law was recognizing the supreme authority of the sovereign, subordinating the rights of individuals to the will of sovereign. The rights of medieval sovereign are clearly defined in "Leviathan" by Tomas Hobbes. According to the Chapter XVIII (Of the Rights of Sovereigns by Institution) since the subjects are the authors of sovereign's actions "It follows that whatsoever he doth, can be no injury to any of his subjects; nor ought he to be by any of them accused of injustice."  Meanwhile the adoption and proclamation of UN Charter (1945), The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and International Covenant on Social, Cultural and Economic Rights (both adopted in 1966) were major progress towards the international protection of human rights. Later, besides the universal mechanisms of human rights protection, regional instruments were developed such as the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (1950). The purpose of the essay is to examine the debate over the existence of fundamental and non-fundamental human rights. The question is observed through two controversial approaches that are equality and hierarchy of human rights. The equality of all human rights supposes that all human rights are equally important, as it is reinforced in UN official doctrines. The UDHR which was adopted by UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948, proclaims that there is no separation between different rights. Besides, as it is reinforced in the Article 5 of the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action, World Conference on Human Rights "All human rights are universal, indivisible and interdependent and interrelated. The international community must treat human rights globally in a fair and equal manner, on the same footing, and with the same emphasis."  From this point of view all human rights are considered to be equal, and there is not supposed to be any hierarchy between different rights. The opposite standpoint argues for the existence of hierarchy of human rights noting that there are fundamental rights and thus making classification in the field of human rights. The bright evidence of abovementioned viewpoint is the frequently used notion of "fundamental" or "basic" human rights. The Article 4 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, adopted on 16 December 1966, defines that "In time of public emergency which threatens the life of the nation… the State Parties to the present Covenant may take measures, derogating from their obligations under the present Covenant… inconsistent with their other obligations under international law".  Though the second provision of this article defines that nevertheless there are some cases, when no derogation may be made under this provision(articles 6, 7, 8, 11, 15, 16 and 18), e.g. no one shall be arbitrary deprived of his life, subjected to torture, held in slavery, held guilty of any criminal offence on account of any act or ommision which did not constitute a criminal offence, under national or international law, at the time when it was committed, everyone shall have the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law, everyone shall have right to freedom of though, conscience and religion. Another argument provides the third article of Geneva Convention (III) relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War(12 August 1949), which defines that during the non-international armed conflicts there are some acts which ''shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons''  (persons, who are not taking active part in the hostilities, including those, who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat because of sickness, wounds, detention). In fact, according to the 1949 Geneva Convention murder of all kinds, cruel treatment and torture, taking of hostages, outrages upon personal dignity and many other similar actions are prohibited at any time and in any place. This is a strong argument provided by the Convention that there are fundamental human rights which can be violated by no means. This suggests a unique hierarchy for human rights. The International Court of Justice gave currency to the idea of a hierarchy in the Barcelona Traction Case by suggesting in a famous dictum that ''basic rights of the human person'' (droits fundamentaux de la personne humaine) create obligations erga omnes. This dictum was constructed by the International Law Commission(ILC) to mean that there is ''a number, albeit a small one, of national obligations which, by reason of the importance of their subject-matter for the international community as a whole, are unlike the others-obligations in whose fulfillment all States have a legal interest''.  It means that fundamental rights (jus cogens) create erga omnes obligations. Still the best evidence for the existence of human rights hierarchy is the hierarchical structure of legal systems of a great deal of states. The legal systems of the majority of sovereign states are based on the constitutions, which are considered to be the supreme law of the states. The provisions of the Constitution can be violated by no means, since it reinforces fundamental statements. Even in The Constitution of Republic of Armenia amended in 2005, certain human rights are defined as fundamental. According to the Article 3 of the Constitution everyone possesses certain fundamental rights which should be protected according to the rules of International law and these fundamental rights and freedoms lead to the self-limitation of the state.  So, observing the issue as an individual researcher I support the idea that the existence of some human rights, that are more fundamental than others, is obvious. My position is also based on the Armenian scholar of Legal Studies V. Nersesyants, who is the founder of Libertar Legal Comprehension Theory. It defines the right as a measure of liberty and this measure of liberty is flexible rather than constant. This is another argument for the existence of human rights hierarchy, which I strongly support.

Q: Word to describe short bursts of running? Is there a word (in the context of exercise) to describe short bursts of running?
My first thought was to use the term "running circuits", but that involves other activities in between the running, whereas I'm looking for a term to describe short bursts of only running.
Example: Sprint for 60 seconds, walk for 60 seconds, sprint again for 60 seconds, etc.

A: I have heard the term wind sprints used to label the activity you describe (run, walk, run, walk).
In my school and military days, though, the term was used entierly differently: it described a specific drill involving sprinting from point a to a+10, reversing direction and sprinting back to a, reversing direction and sprinting to a+20, reversing direction and sprinting back to a, repeating this to about a+60. The lines of a basketball court were used as the direction-changing markers.

A: You might just go for a short run. Or, your "circuits" might be a sprint or a dash; both of these connote running quickly for short periods of time, and while they refer to racing, they can be used for single runners.
If your pace is a bit slower, perhaps you are running a lap at a time (particularly if you are repeating the same territory). You might go for a short jog, but jogging usually means a slower pace for a longer time.

A: When I was on the high-school cross country team, we used to call this type of training fartlek which comes from Swedish, but I think the term "interval training" is more common.

A: I asked this question of a runner and according to them it's referred to as running intervals.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_training
Thanks for the other great answers.

A: What you describe sounds similar to "wind sprints."
