Messaging Tool Kit for Supporting LBGT Inclusive Curriculum and Policies
It isn't always easy to build community support for schools that openly affirm people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. When talking about sexual orientation or gender identity, emotions can run high, misconceptions can spread, and divisive politics sometimes can get in the way of doing what is best for students and families.
In 2009, GroundSpark convened a network of education, media, advocacy, religious, and civil rights organizations to work collaboratively to support school personnel who are grappling with these challenges.
After several years of on-the-ground experience, this network produced this messaging toolkit to support schools in their efforts to address stigma related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
Building Support for Schools that Openly Affirm the Diversity of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identitycontains talking points, how-tos, and worksheets. With this groundbreaking resource, you can inspire your community to take action for schools that are more welcoming and affirming for people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender.

Disberse Saves Charities Money By Using Blockchain To Verify Donations
Jeremy Nation July 13, 2017 12:23 AM
Aid networks are testing blockchain-based solutions as applied to humanitarian finance.
The Start Network, an amalgam of 42 national and international aid agencies, reported on July 11, 2017, that it is researching blockchain-based models for delivering humanitarian aid with fund management and distribution platform Disberse.
Among the project's goals are to increase the rapidity of aid distribution and to infallibly trace transactions from donor to recipient. Ultimately, the blockchain technology would act as a monitoring system to ensure those in need receive the funds in question while simultaneously mitigating exchange rate-based losses.
In the current banking systems, high fees and transaction longevity present inefficiencies that can be costly to both the organizations providing aid and the individuals who need it. These issues are complicated by volatile exchange rates in countries wherein economic infrastructure is severely lacking, which is often the case in places marred by humanitarian crises.
Disberse combats the loss in exchange rates and intermediary fees. It completed a pilot program with UK-based charity Positive Women by which it reduced losses at delivery points for a Swaziland aid project to a null. Funds were tracked as they traveled from the UK to four Swazi schools by way of a non-governmental organization; the project's savings were enough to pay the annual fees for an additional three students.
Sarah Llewellyn, director of Positive Women, spoke of the benefits revealed by the pilot program:
"We normally use our bank to transfer funds, but transfers have become increasingly expensive and slow. Using Disberse, we saved 2.5 per cent [on forex fees], which covered the costs of a year's education for an additional three girls. We could also see our funds being distributed to partners and schools, enabling us to spend less time monitoring, and more time demonstrating impact to our donors."
The Start Network plans to scale up the Disberse platform to meet a greater demand by testing the system over six months with a series of small disbursements.
Sean Lowrie, Director of the Start Network, explained how the project may initiate a new manner of operation in the aid industry.
"This exciting partnership could lead to the transformation needed in the way money flows through the humanitarian system. The Start Network is testing innovative solutions to many humanitarian challenges to enable aid agencies to be more efficient and effective. This new project could catalyse a new way of working, one that is transparent, fast and which drives accountability to taxpayers and those affected by crises."
Disperse, notably a member of ConsenSys' Blockchain for Social Impact Coalition, was born from an ambition to preserve and improve the impact of aid finance, according to its CEO and Co-founder, Ben Joakim. "We believe in the purpose of aid, but recognise it is constrained by inefficiencies," he said. "Using blockchain technology, we digitise and distribute donor funds through the chain to recipient beneficiaries. These transactions are transparent, and can be viewed online, ensuring funds are distributed and delivered as intended."
If properly utilized, blockchain technology has the capacity to diminish the corruption present in the aid industry by presenting an immutable record of transactions from donor to recipient. The work endeavored upon by the Start Network and Disperse stand to make that possible future a reality.

Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez has died, his vice-president has announced.
Mr Chavez had been seriously ill with cancer for more than a year, undergoing several operations in Cuba, and had not been seen in public for several months.
Nicolas Maduro made the announcement on Tuesday evening, flanked by political and military leaders.
Earlier, he said the 58-year-old Venezuelan leader had a new, severe respiratory infection and had entered "his most difficult hours".
He also announced the government had expelled two US diplomats from the country for spying on Venezuela's military.

Get into the groove: Nick Horner and Katie Cohen will have people flatfooting down Flatbush Avenue on Dec. 21 during Make Music New York's winter celebration.
This is a good time to get caught flatfooted!
Flatbush Avenue will look and sound like part of the Appalachian trail on Dec. 21, when participatory music festival Make Music New York is inviting all Brooklynites to take part in a flatfooting parade that will begin at Central Library and tap its way to Barclays Center. One of the organizers said he appreciates the irony of the location.
Flatfooting is a percussive folk dance similar to tap that originated in Appalachia. It accompanies a form of repetitive old-time music that is played on instruments such as guitars, fiddles, and banjos. Horner said the dance moves are integral to the songs.
The flatfooting tradition is very focused on community, Horner said, with people sharing stories and dance moves between ditties. This makes it a good fit for a Make Music event, he added.
"Flatfoot really lends towards Make Music's mission of bringing people together around music," he said.
The parade steps off at 2:30 pm, with a workshop beforehand to teach people the dance moves. Fiddler and dancer Anna Roberts-Gevalt and Katie Cohen of Horner's band the Nick Horner Family will also show folks how to fashion a pair of tap shoes out of an old pair of sneakers. Four musicians will play during the procession, but organizers are encouraging anyone who wants to bring their instruments to jam along.
"The potential for this is incredible," Horner said.
Later in the evening, there will be an after-party at the Jalopy Theatre in Red Hook, where Roberts-Gevalt and the Nick Horner Family will perform while participants flatfoot and square dance the night away.
"Flat Foot Flatbush" starting in Grand Army Plaza Park (corner of Prospect Park West and Flatbush Avenue in Prospect Heights, www.makemusicny.org). Dec. 21 at 2:30 pm. Free.
Pre-parade workshop at Central Library (10 Grand Army Plaza between Eastern Parkway and Flatbush Avenue in Prospect Heights). Dec. 21 at 1 pm. Free.
Flatfoot Flatbush Show at the Jalopy Theatre [315 Columbia St. between Hamilton Avenue and Woodhull Street in Red Hook, (718) 395–3214, www.jalopy.biz]. Dec. 21 at 7 pm. Free, but donations encouraged.

When the World Congress of Families meets in Salt Lake City in October, it will bring together scholars, religious leaders, motivational speakers, youths and media personalities to "affirm, celebrate, and encourage the natural family" — defined on the Congress website as a family centered around marriage between a man and woman.
Elder M. Russell Ballard, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, will be a keynote speaker at the opening session. The 2,500 expected conference participants will hear from 200 speakers, many of whom are key figures in religion and family scholarship.
Yet the conference, scheduled Oct. 27-30, has been met with protest and controversy by critics who claim the congress is an attack on the LGBT community and worthy of condemnation.
Last August, the Australian Senate passed a motion calling for federal ministers to boycott a World Congress of Families gathering in Melbourne and about 100 demonstrators blocked the entrance to the event.
The year before, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender activists accused the World Congress of Families of supporting a Russian law that banned the distribution of LGBT "propaganda" to minors. The conference, which was scheduled to take place at the Kremlin, was ultimately canceled after Russia annexed Crimea.
Now, in the runup to the World Congress of Families IX — the first congress to be hosted in an American city — organizers are continuing to face criticism.
The WCF essentially aims at promoting a family model that guarantees that a child will be raised in a stable and loving environment made up of a father and mother dedicated to each-other and to their children. Stating that such manifestations are an expression of hate towards the LGBT community - as if the "Father Knows Best" 50's series had been specifically designed to attack Gay people - will only result in LGBT Activists being eventually perceived as a threat towards anyone whose life-styles and values differ from theirs.
I hope that someone at this family conference is willing to present the statistics on AIDS/HIV in the US. Since 1980 over 500,000 people have died and today over a million are infected. The main cause of this is directly attributed to the gay lifestyle.


Ground Source heat pumps promise to supply most if not all the heating required for any new house without drawing ANY energy from the Electricity Grid!
Ground source heat pumps use solar energy naturally stored in soil, bedrock and groundwater as a heat source. They do require electricity to operate, but efficiently produce up to five times as much heat energy for every unit of electricity they use.
A ground source heat pump circulates a mixture of water and antifreeze around a loop of pipe – called a ground loop – which is buried in the garden. Heat from the ground is absorbed into this fluid and is pumped through a heat exchanger in the heat pump. Low grade heat passes through the heat pump compressor and is concentrated into a higher temperature useful heat capable of heating water for the heating and hot water circuits of the house. Ground loop fluid, now cooler, passes back into the ground where it absorbs further energy from the ground in a continuous process while heating is required.
The length of the ground loop depends on the size of your home and the amount of heat you need – longer loops can draw more heat from the ground, but need more space to be buried in.
Normally the loop is laid flat, or coiled in trenches about two metres deep, but if there is not enough space in your garden you can install a vertical loop down into the ground to a depth of up to 100 metres for a typical domestic home.
Heat pumps have some impact on the environment as they need electricity to run, but the heat they extract from the ground, air, or water is constantly being renewed naturally.
Unlike gas or oil boilers, heat pumps deliver heat at lower temperatures over much longer periods. This means that during the winter they may need to be left on 24/7 to heat your home efficiently. It also means that radiators should never feel as hot to the touch as they would do when using a gas or oil boiler.
The efficiency of the system can be greatly improved if the heated water is kept as low as possible. For this reason, underfloor heating, is highly recommended.

Friday Five - Girls of War
Alicia Valera
Beserker
Sofia Hendrik
Samantha Byrne
Bernadette Mataki
For years, video games have been directed toward a majorily male audience. Many characters have been created to be sexualized by their large busts, curvacious bodies, and scantily-clad outfits. Many femme fatales such as Lara Croft, Kasumi, Mileena, and even Bayonetta were made to keep men drooling as they play. That changed with Gears of War's (2006-2013: Xbox 360) release. Though female characters were not playable until Gears 3, girls loved that these characters were not designed with the desire and need of sex appeal. All of these ladies are not only pretty, but can kick some Locust tail as well. Here is a list of five of the best "girls of war."
5. Alicia "Val" Valera (Gears of War 3: RAAM's Shadow)
"Every life we save today is something special. It's another chance for someone."
Alicia was a part of the Zeta-Six Squad with Tai Kaliso, Michael Barrick, and Minh Young Kim a decade after Emergence Day. The city of Illima came under a threat of a Kryllstorm, and Zeta was sent to evacuate the city. Zeta went to Illima Savings and Trust to only find a teenage Jace Stratton hidden in the vault. The group escorted him out, eventually getting to Illima High School. After learning that nearly everyone had been evacuated safely, Minh called for a convoy for the last of the citizens. Just as it arrived and Gears were greeting Zeta after getting out of the Junker, an Emergence Hole appeared and the Gears were killed. Zeta took cover to try to fend them off, and General RAAM started walking to a down Gear. Jace blocked the Locust's way to protect him, and Alicia pushed the boy out of the way, tried to chainsaw RAAM, and was stabbed and killed. Minh tried to avenge her, but Barrick grabbed, told him that it was not the day, and they boarded a King Raven and left Illima.
4. Beserker (Gears of War 1-3)
"She was almost as tough as my ex."
The Beserker, believe it or not, was responsible for increasing the Locust army. How, you ask? Well, the Berserker actually had to be chained down and raped because they would usually kill their mate in a violent rage. What a Beserker lacks in sight, she makes for in her sense of smell, hearing, and sheer power. In Gears 3, the Lambent Beserker, a meaner, more powerful, and mutated Beserker was introduced. In Beast Mode, the Beserker becomes playable, but the Lambent version is not.
3. Sophia Hendrik (Gears of War: Judgment)
"I turned my heart off. It was the only way I would make it."
During the Pendulum Wars, Sophia was a journalist that criticised the COG constantly. However, hours after the events during Emergence Day started, she enlisted to be a Gear and went to Halvo Bay Military Academy and became an Onyx Guard cadet. Her skill with the Snub Pistol went unmatched, receiving every ribbon possible for the weapon. She was assigned to Kilo Squad with Damon Baird, Augustus Cole, and Garron Paduck, and sent on a mission to escort a convoy, which was ultimately destroyed by the Locust. After killing the Locust leader Karn, Kilo was charged with treason and stealing experimental COG weaponry. In the extra campaign on Judgment, called "Aftermath," Baird and Cole reunite with Paduck at Halvo Bay for the first time since the tribunal. Paduck tells his former squadmates that Sofia was kidnapped while on patrol, and possibly murdered, and he said that if Cole and Baird wanted to remain friends with him they were to never see him again.
2. Samantha "Sam" Byrne (Gears of War 3)
"You're not afraid of a girl, are you?"
Samantha, followed in her father's footsteps in becoming a Gear. Her father, Sam Byrne, was killed during the Siege of Anvil Gate before she was born. Sam is talented with tattoos and redid fellow Delta member Dominic Santiago's tattoo for his wife after he killed her. Sam deeply cares for her fellow Gears. She stood up for Dom when Baird was saying rude things about how he couldn't save Maria. She was a part of the mission to Mercy with Dom, Marcus Fenix, and Anya Stroud, and was devasted as she watched Dom sacrifice his life for his team. She and Baird have a love-hate relationship, and she even joked about them having a home with a family together, to which Baird snapped back saying that he would have a bottle of pills with him as well.
1. Bernadette "Bernie" Mataki (Gears of War 3)
"Yeah, we're too old to run. We'll just sit on the front porch and blow the shit out of anything that moves."
Bernie Mataki was a South Islander who joined the COG during the Pendulum Wars. She and Victor Hoffman were lovers in the past, but they had to part because of his promotions. After retiring from the war, Bernie went back to her farm home. After the Hammer strikes, all of the islands lost contact with Jacinto, so Bernie walked all the way back to find out what has happened to the COG. She rejoined the army after 16 years. Bernie is a sniper by trade, and a survivals expert. She taught Dom to be a commando when he first started in the army, and was also in the same squad as Marcus Fenix and Dom's older brother Carlos Santiago. Mataki was originally featured in the novels, but quickly became a fan-favorite. In the second book Jacinto's Remnant, Bernie admitted to Delta that she was raped during her travel back to Sera, and Hoffman ended up finding one of the men responsible in Vectes; Bernie killed the others. Fans overwhelmingly asked for Bernie to appear in Gears 3, and she appeared in the Anvil Gate mission in the campaign and was a playable multiplayer character.
Honorable Mentions (and why they weren't on the list):
Anya Stroud (every game) - Putting her on the list just felt way too predictable, even though she was technically the first female to appear in the series.
Alexandra "Alex" Brand - As awesome as she is, Alex only appeared in the comics until Judgment, but she was only a multiplayer character.
Myrrah - The Locust Queen is great as well, but the Beserker was a better Locust representative for this list
Maria Santiago - Dom's wife went through the deaths of her entire family and her children, torture from the Locust, and captivity for who knows how long. Maria was a trooper, but being on the list would not have done her justice.
Helena Stroud - She was a great leader for the COG. But sadly, she was only mentioned in the novels and comics.

Thank you! I've loved the "Gears" series since the beginning. I even have all of the novels, a few comics, and even my very own COG tags. Judgment is a great game so far, and actually a prequel, so you could play it before the main trilogy. But I honestly would not recommend it because of the change in graphics and controls over time, as the first "Gears" was released in '06.

Love it! I like the detail you went into with each, as well.


At least the US is #1 in something, a shameful ranking, political corruption and corporate profiteering killing our children with poisons. Drug companies are off the hook for financial liability. Thanks to The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 vaccine manufacturers have NO LIABILITY!! No testing, vaccines made in China, no oversight by the FDA.
For the purposes of the study, the researchers defined a "vaccine dose" as "an exact amount of medicine or drug to be administered." Thus, triple vaccines such as DTaP or MMR are each considered to be three vaccine doses, since three drugs are being given at the same time.
Funding for this study: The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) donated $2,500 and Michael Belkin made a personal donation of $2,500 in memory of his daughter Lyla towards the SAGE Choice Open Access fee for this article.

"The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power" is an article, written in 1991 by U.S. investigative journalist Richard Behar, which is highly critical of Scientology.

It was first published by Time magazine on May 6, 1991, as an eight-page cover story, and was later published in Reader's Digest in October 1991. Behar had previously published an article on Scientology in Forbes magazine. He stated that he was investigated by attorneys and private investigators affiliated with the Church of Scientology while researching the Time article, and that investigators contacted his friends and family as well. Behar's article covers topics including L. Ron Hubbard and the development of Scientology, its controversies over the years and history of litigation, conflict with psychiatry and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, the suicide of Noah Lottick, its status as a religion, and its business dealings.

After the article's publication, the Church of Scientology mounted a public relations campaign to address issues in the piece. It took out advertisements in USA Today for twelve weeks, and Church leader David Miscavige was interviewed by Ted Koppel on Nightline about what he considered to be an objective bias by the article's author. Miscavige alleged that the article was actually driven by the company Eli Lilly, because of Scientology's efforts against the drug Prozac. The Church of Scientology brought a libel suit against Time Warner and Behar, and sued Reader's Digest in multiple countries in Europe in an attempt to stop the article's publication there. The suit against Time Warner was dismissed in 1996, and the Church of Scientology's petition for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States was denied in 2001.

Behar received awards in honor of his work on the article, including the Gerald Loeb Award, the Worth Bingham Prize, and the Conscience-in-Media Award. The article has had ramifications in the current treatment of Scientology in the media, with some publications theorizing that journalists are wary of the litigation that Time Warner went through. The article has been cited by Anderson Cooper on CNN, in a story on Panorama 2007 program "Scientology and Me" on the BBC, and has been used as a reference for background on the history of Scientology, in books from both the cult and new religious movement perspectives.

Research for the article

Before penning "The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power", Behar had written a 1986 article in Forbes magazine, "The Prophet and Profits of Scientology", which reported on the Church of Scientology's business dealings and L. Ron Hubbard's financial success. Behar wrote that during research for "The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power", he and a Time contributing editor were themselves investigated by ten attorneys and six private investigators affiliated with the Church of Scientology. According to Behar, investigators contacted his friends and previous coworkers to ask them if he had a history of tax or drug problems, and obtained a copy of his personal credit report that had been obtained illegally from a national credit bureau. Behar conducted 150 interviews in the course of his research for the article.

Behar wrote that the motive of these operatives was to "threaten, harass and discredit him". He later learned that the Church of Scientology had assigned its head private investigator to direct the Church's investigation into Behar. Anderson Cooper 360° reported that Behar had been contacted by Church of Scientology attorneys numerous times while doing research on the article. The parents of Noah Lottick, a Scientologist who had committed suicide, cooperated with Time and Reader's Digest.

The full title of the article is "The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power: Ruined lives. Lost fortunes. Federal crimes. Scientology poses as a religion but is really a ruthless global scam—and aiming for the mainstream". The article reported on the founding of the Church of Scientology by L. Ron Hubbard and controversies involving the Church and its affiliated business operations, as well as the suicide of a Scientologist. The article related the May 11, 1990, suicide of Dr. Edward Lottick's son Noah Antrim Lottick. Lottick was a Russian studies student who had taken a series of Scientology courses; he died after jumping from a hotel tenth floor window. The Church of Scientology and Lottick's family have differing positions on the effect Scientology coursework had on him. While none of the parties assigned blame, they expressed misgivings about his death. Initially, his father had thought that Scientology was similar to Dale Carnegie's self-improvement techniques; however, after his ordeal, the elder Lottick came to believe that the organization is a "school for psychopaths". Mike Rinder, then head of the Church of Scientology's Office of Special Affairs and a Church spokesman, stated "I think Ed Lottick should look in the mirror... I think Ed Lottick made his son's life intolerable".

The article outlined a brief history of Scientology, discussing Hubbard's initial background as a science fiction writer, and cited a California judge who had deemed Hubbard a "pathological liar". The Church of Scientology's litigation history was described, in addition to its conflicts with the Internal Revenue Service, with countries regarding whether or not to accept it as a religion, and its position against psychiatry. Behar wrote of the high costs involved in participation in the Church of Scientology, what he referred to as "front groups and financial scams", and harassment of critics. He estimated that the Church of Scientology paid US$20 million annually to over one hundred attorneys. Behar maintained that though the Church of Scientology portrays itself as a religion, it was actually a "hugely profitable global racket" which intimidated members and critics in a Mafia-like manner.

Cynthia Kisser, then director of the Cult Awareness Network, was quoted: "Scientology is quite likely the most ruthless, the most classically terroristic, the most litigious and the most lucrative cult the country has ever seen. No cult extracts more money from its members".

Post-publication

Church of Scientology's response
The Church of Scientology responded to the publication of "The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power" by taking out color full-page ads in USA Today in May and June 1991, on every weekday for twelve weeks, denouncing the Time magazine cover article. Two official Church of Scientology responses were titled "Facts vs. Fiction, A Correction of Falsehoods Contained in the May 6, 1991, Issues of Time Magazine", and "The Story That Time Couldn't Tell". Prior to the advertising campaign, Scientologists distributed 88-page bound booklets which disputed points from Behar's article. The "Fact vs. Fiction" piece was a  booklet, which criticized Behar's article and asserted "Behar's article omits the information on the dozens of community service programs conducted by Scientologists ... which have been acknowledged by community officials". One of the advertisements in USA Today accused Time of promoting Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany, and featured a 1936 issue of Time which had Hitler's picture on the front cover. The Church of Scientology sent out a news release condemning Time "horrible history of supporting fascism", and said that the article was written because Time had been pressured by "vested interests". When asked by the St. Petersburg Times whether this was the case, Time Executive Editor Richard Duncan responded "Good Lord, no". Heber Jentzsch, at the time president of Church of Scientology International, issued a four-page news release which stated "Advertising is the only way the church could be assured of getting its message and its side of the story out to the public without the same vested interests behind the Time article distorting it".

After the advertising run critiquing Time magazine in USA Today had completed, the Church of Scientology mounted a $3 million public relations campaign about Scientology in USA Today, in June 1991. The Church of Scientology placed a 48-page advertising supplement in 1.8 million copies of USA Today. In a statement to the St. Petersburg Times, Scientology spokesman Richard Haworth explained "What we are trying to do is put the actual facts of Dianetics and Scientology out there".

In response to the Church of Scientology's claims of inaccuracies in the article, a lawyer for Time responded "We've reviewed all of their allegations, and find nothing wrong with the Time story." In June 1991, Newsweek reported that staffers for Time said they had received calls from a man claiming to be a paralegal for Time, who asked them if they had signed a confidentiality form about the article. Time editors sent staffers a computer memo, warning them about calls related to the article, and staffers told Newsweek that "sources named in the story say detectives have asked about their talks with Time". A Church of Scientology spokesman called the claims "scurrilous".

On February 14, 1992, Scientology leader David Miscavige gave Ted Koppel his first interview on Scientology on the ABC News program Nightline. The program noted that Scientology has vocal critics and cited Behar's 1991 article. Behar appeared on the program and gave his opinion of why individuals join Scientology, stating that the organization's "ulterior motive" is really to get people to take high-priced audit counseling. Behar stated on the program that he had evidence that members of the Church of Scientology had obtained his personal phone records. Later in the program, Koppel questioned Miscavige on the Church of Scientology's response to the Time magazine article, particularly the $3 million the church spent advertising in USA Today. Miscavige explained that the first three weeks of the advertising campaign was meant to correct falsehoods from the Time article, and the rest of the twelve-week campaign was dedicated to informing the public about Scientology. Koppel asked Miscavige what specifically had upset him about the Time article, and Miscavige called Behar "a hater". Miscavige noted that Behar had written an article on Scientology and the Internal Revenue Service three years before he began work on the Time piece, and made allegations that Behar had attempted to get two Scientologists kidnapped. When Koppel questioned Miscavige further on this, Miscavige said that individuals had contacted Behar after an earlier article, and Behar had told them to "kidnap Scientologists out". Koppel pressed further, noting that this was a serious charge to make, and asked Miscavige if his allegations were accurate, why he had not pressed charges for attempted kidnapping. Miscavige said Koppel was "missing the issue", and said that his real point was that he thought the article was not an objective piece.

Miscavige alleged on Nightline that the article itself was published as a result of a request by Eli Lilly and Company, because of "the damage we had caused to their killer drug Prozac". When Koppel asked Miscavige if he had affidavits or evidence to this effect, Miscavige responded "You think they'd admit it?" Miscavige stated that "Eli Lilly ordered a reprint of 750,000 copies of Time magazine before it came out", and that his attempts to investigate the matter with Eli Lilly and associated advertising companies were not successful.

Litigation
The Church brought a libel lawsuit against Time Warner and Behar, seeking damages of $416 million. The Church alleged false and defamatory statements were made concerning the Church of Scientology International in the Time article. More specifically, the Church of Scientology's court statements claimed that Behar had been refining an anti-Scientology focus since his 1986 article in Forbes, which included gathering negative materials about Scientology, and "never accepting anything a Scientologist said and uniformly ignoring anything positive he learned about the Church". In its initial complaint filing, the Church quoted portions of the Behar article that it alleged were false and defamatory, including the quote from Cynthia Kisser, and Behar's own assertion that Scientology was a "global racket" that intimidated individuals in a "Mafia-like manner".

Noah Lottick's parents submitted affidavits in the case, in which they "affirmed the accuracy of each statement in the article"; Edward Lottick "concluded that Scientology therapies were manipulations, and that no Scientology staff members attended the funeral" of their son. During the litigation, the Church of Scientology attempted to subpoena Behar in a separate ongoing lawsuit with the Internal Revenue Service, and accused a federal magistrate of leaking information to him. Behar was questioned for over 190 hours during 30 days of depositions with Scientology attorneys in the libel case. One question was about Behar's life in his parents' home while he was still inside the womb. St. Petersburg Times explained that this question was prompted by Scientology teachings that certain problems come from prenatal memories. Behar told the St. Petersburg Times he "felt it was extremely excessive". In a countersuit, Behar brought up the issues of Church of Scientology private investigators and what he viewed as harassment. By July 1996, all counts of the libel suit had been dismissed. In the course of the litigation through 1996, Time Warner had spent $7.3 million in legal defense costs. The Church of Scientology also sued several individuals quoted in the Time article.

The Church of Scientology sued Reader's Digest in Switzerland, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany for publishing a condensed version of the Time story. The only court to provide a temporary injunction was in Lausanne, Switzerland. In France, Italy, and the Netherlands, the courts either dismissed the Church of Scientology's motions, or set injunction hearings far beyond the date of actual publication. The company defied the injunction and mailed copies of the article, "Scientology: A Dangerous Cult Goes Mainstream", to their . Worldwide editor-in-chief of Reader's Digest, Kenneth Tomlinson, told The New York Times that "a publisher cannot accept a court prohibiting distribution of a serious journalistic piece. ... The court order violates freedom of speech and freedom of the press". The Church of Scientology subsequently filed a criminal complaint against the Digest in Lausanne, and Mike Rinder stated it was in blatant violation of the law. By defying the Swiss court ban, the Reader's Digest risked a fine of about $3,400, as well as a potential three months' jail time for the Swiss Digest editor-in-chief. A hearing on the injunction was set for November 11, 1991, and the injunction was later lifted by the Swiss court.

In January 2001, a United States federal appeals court upheld the dismissal of the Church of Scientology International's case against Time Warner. In its opinion, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled that Time Warner had not published "The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power" with an actual intent of malice, a standard that must be met for libel cases involving individuals and public groups. On October 1, 2001, the Supreme Court of the United States refused to consider reinstating the church's libel case Church of Scientology International v. Time Warner Inc., 00-1683. Time Warner said it refused to be "intimidated by the church's apparently limitless legal resources." In arguments presented to the Supreme Court, the Church of Scientology acknowledged that church officials had "committed improper acts" in the past, but also claimed that: "allegations of past misconduct were false and distorted, the result of the misunderstanding, suspicion and prejudice that typically greet a new religion". Of the rulings for Time Warner, the Church of Scientology complained that they "provide a safe harbor for biased journalism". Behar commented on the Church of Scientology's legal defeat, and said that the lawsuit had a chilling effect: "It's a tremendous defeat for Scientology ... But of course their doctrine states that the purpose of a suit is to harass, not to win, so from that perspective they hurt us all. They've had a real chilling effect on journalism, both before and after my piece".

Awards

As a result of writing the piece, Behar was presented with the 1992 Gerald Loeb Award for distinguished business and financial journalism, the Worth Bingham Prize, the Conscience-in-Media Award from the American Society of Journalists and Authors, awarded to "those who have demonstrated singular commitment to the highest principles of journalism at notable personal cost or sacrifice," and the Cult Awareness Network's Leo J. Ryan Award, in honor of Congressman Leo J. Ryan. Paulette Cooper was also awarded the 1992 Conscience-in-Media Award by the American Society of Journalists and Authors, for her book The Scandal of Scientology. This was the only time in the history of the American Society of Journalists and Authors that the award was presented to more than one journalist in the same year.

In a February 1992 issue of Time, editor Elizabeth Valk congratulated Behar on his Conscience-in-Media Award, stating "Needless to say, we are delighted and proud". Valk noted that the honor had only been awarded seven times in the previous seventeen years of its existence. Managing editor Henry Muller also congratulated Behar in an April 1992 issue of Time.

Analysis

Insane Therapy noted that Scientology "achieved more notoriety ... with the publication of the journalist Richard Behar's highly critical article". Larson's Book of World Religions and Alternative Spirituality described the cover design of the article as it appeared in Time, writing that it "shouted" the headline from the magazine cover. In a 2005 piece, Salon.com magazine noted that for those interested in the Church of Scientology, the Time article still remains a "milestone in news coverage", and that those who back the Church believe it was "an outrageously biased account".

Legacy
The Church of Scientology's use of private investigators was cited in a 1998 article in the Boston Herald, and compared to Behar's experiences when researching "The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power". After the paper ran a five-part series of critical articles in 1998, then Church of Scientology President Heber Jentzsch confirmed that a private investigative firm was hired to look into the personal life of Joseph Mallia, the reporter who wrote the articles. In a later piece titled "Church of Scientology probes Herald reporter—Investigation follows pattern of harassment" this investigation was likened to Behar's assertions of harassment, as well as other reporters' experiences from 1974, 1988, and 1997.

Because of the history of conflict between Reader's Digest and Scientology, the writer of a 2005 cover story on Tom Cruise agreed to certain demands, including giving Scientology issues equal play in the writer's profile of Cruise, submitting questions for Cruise to Church of Scientology handlers, and sending the writer of the article to a one-day Church immersion course. Also in 2005, an article in Salon questioned whether the tactics of the Church's litigation and private investigations of Time Warner and other media sources had succeeded in decreasing the amount of investigative journalism pieces on Scientology in the press. A 2005 article in The Sunday Times cited the article, and came to the determination that the Church of Scientology's lawsuit against Time Warner "served to warn off other potential investigations", and that "The chill evidently lingers still".

"The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power" continues to be used today by journalists in the media, as a reference for historical information on the Church of Scientology. In April 2007, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper interviewed former Office of Special Affairs director Mike Rinder, in a live piece on Anderson Cooper 360° titled "Inside Scientology". The CNN story was prompted by the May 2007 airing of a BBC Panorama investigative program, "Scientology and Me". In the interview, Anderson Cooper quoted directly from "The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power" article, when asking Rinder about the history of Operation Snow White, and if those tactics were currently used by the Church. Rinder answered by stating that the individuals involved with Operation Snow White were no longer involved in Church of Scientology activities, and that the incident was "ancient history". Cooper then again referenced the Time magazine article noting that Behar asserted that he was illegally investigated by Scientology contacts during research for his article. Cooper questioned Rinder on the dismissed lawsuit against Time Warner, and Rinder acknowledged that all of the Church of Scientology's appeals against Time Warner were eventually rejected.

Russia Will Not Pause Military Operation In Ukraine For Peace Talks
by Guy Faulconbridge, Reuters on April 11, 2022
Guy Faulconbridge, Reuters Author
April 11 (Reuters) – Russia will not pause its military operation in Ukraine for subsequent rounds of peace talks, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday.
Russian officials say peace talks with Ukraine are not progressing as rapidly as they would like, and have accused the West of trying to derail negotiations by raising war crimes allegations against Russian troops in Ukraine, which Moscow denies.
Speaking in an interview with Russian state television, Lavrov said he saw no reason not to continue talks with Ukraine but insisted Moscow would not halt its military operation when the sides convene again.
Lavrov said that President Vladimir Putin had ordered to suspend military action during the first round of talks between Russian and Ukrainian negotiators in late February but that Moscow's position had changed since.
"After we became convinced that the Ukrainians were not planning to reciprocate, a decision was made that during the next rounds of talks, there would be no pause (in military action) so long as a final agreement is not reached," Lavrov said.
Russia sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24 in what it called a special operation to degrade its southern neighbor's military capabilities and root out people it called dangerous nationalists.
Ukrainian forces have mounted stiff resistance and the West has imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia in an effort to force it to withdraw its forces.
Lavrov last week accused Kyiv of presenting Moscow with an "unacceptable" draft peace deal that deviated from agreements the sides had previously reached. Kyiv dismissed Lavrov's comments at the time as a tactic to undermine Ukraine or divert attention from war crime accusations against Russian troops. Read full story
In the interview aired on Monday, Lavrov also said that calls by Josep Borrell, the European Union's top diplomat, for the bloc to continue arming Kyiv marked a "very serious U-turn" in European policy.

Save the date: 2 June 2016: The University of Lincoln, building on the success of the previous Jisc CAN face to face networking events, is hosting a 1 day 'meet up' event for staff and students across the UK who are working in partnership on curriculum innovation projects in UK further education and skills and higher education.
Like other Jisc Change Agents' Network events, this day will offer opportunities for sharing best practice from students working as change agents, digital pioneers, student fellows/ambassadors and students working in partnership with staff on technology related change projects across further education and skills and higher education. For many, the previous CAN events were successful because of the opportunity to talk to others doing similar projects in different ways across the country. 'Inspired' and 're-energised' were words that cropped up in the evaluations as people thought about what they had most liked about the event in March 2015.
A detailed agenda and registration form will be available on this blog in the early part of 2016. There will be opportunities for networking and hearing more about the initiatives at the University of Lincoln on the afternoon and evening of 1st June 2016. The event will be free for students and the cost for staff will be modest. Participants will need to cover travel and accommodation costs.

Maryland's Darnell Savage Jr. tries to defend against Penn State's KJ Hamler during a November game in State College.
INDIANAPOLIS –- The Eagles and a lot of other NFL teams favor interchangeable safeties, who can play deep coverage and can also stop the run.
This draft isn't brimming with such players, but one grew up right down the road in Bear, Del., weathered a number of trials at Maryland, and spoke with reporters Sunday at the NFL scouting combine, where insider buzz ranks him among the top handful of draft-eligible players at his position.
Eagles defensive fulcrum Malcolm Jenkins is 31, and though his safety partner Rodney McLeod is only going to be 29 this coming season, McLeod is off knee surgery. Behind them, as you saw in 2018, it's a struggle.
Corey Graham will be 34 when camp starts and if the Eagles need to reach for him again, they're in real trouble. Avonte Maddox was a rookie godsend last season, but the team seems to see him more as a corner. The Eagles have five selections in the first four rounds of the draft this year, and there is an excellent chance a safety will be among them.
Savage, 5-foot-10 ½, 198-pounds, is projected to go anywhere from the second to the fourth round. Some observers rank him not that far behind Delaware safety Nasir Adderley, a projected first-to-second-rounder from Philadelphia, though Adderley also could end up as a nickel corner.
Darnell Savage said he had to become a more vocal leader in the aftermath of D.J. Durkin's firing following Jordan McNair's death.
One of the things teams ask him about, Savage said, is the situation following the collapse and death of defensive lineman Jordan McNair last summer. Maryland head coach D.J. Durkin ultimately was fired, and ESPN reported on a "toxic culture" within the program.
Savage said the players "came together and played for each other" through grief and chaos.
Savage also spoke to Sports Illustrated last month about the death of McNair and its aftermath.

Folsom is 15-0 for the second time since 2014, and that Jake Browning-led juggernaut capped the season with a state championship. This group, living its own legacy, can duplicate the feat on Dec. 15 at Sacramento State against the Southern California Division I-AA Regional champion Helix of La Mesa.
Most impressive about Bennett and the Ngatas is their youth. None is a senior, but each performs beyond his years. Bennett passed for 312 yards and four touchdowns, including strikes of nine, 51 and seven yards to Joe Ngata, a certifiable load at 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds with national recruiting interest. Bennett also had a 9-yard scoring toss to Elijah Badger and had an 11-yard touchdown run.
Bennett has passed for 4,114 yards and 53 touchdowns. He has rushed for 1,113 yards and 14 scores.
Ngata's younger brother Daniyel rushed for 126 yards, including TDs of two and 50 yards. He also had 137 receiving yards. Joe Ngata finished with 147 receiving yards.
And it took every bit of the three to withstand the charge of the Grizzlies of Fresno, fresh off their first section championship in the 87-year history of the school.
Central was big, fast and physical, and big on the big play, but ultimately stalled enough by a tenacious if not stretched defense. Folsom had eight sacks, two by Tanner Ward, and the Bulldogs stopped Central three times on fourth down, two of those stops leading to touchdowns.
Fittingly, or oddly enough, Folsom didn't seal it until CJ Hutton scooped up a fumble and raced down the Central sideline 62 yards for a touchdown for the final points with 2:51 left. This came a moment after Bennett hit Joe Ngata for a 7-yard touchdown, the second time of the night Ngata simply outmuscled tight coverage by latching onto the ball.
Dual-threat quarterback Trent Tompkins had some great moments for Central, which lost 45-30 to nationally renown De La Salle earlier this season. Tompkins hit Jacob Torrez for touchdowns of 29, 15 and 72 yards as the Grizzlies flexed their considerable burst.
Folsom has won six Sac-Joaquin Section championships this decade and was in its fourth NorCal title game since 2012. In 2015, the Bulldogs lost to Bellarmine of San Jose 42-35 in the NorCal Division I-AA final, snapping a state-leading 30-game winning streak and ending their 43-game home winning streak.
Folsom is 32-3 at home this decade. Sac State has been good to the Bulldogs as well. Folsom has won six times at Hornet Stadium in section finals and in the 2014 NorCal championship over Grant.
Whose speed wins title race between Folsom, Central? Can Placer stop larger Salinas?

Q: How can I run a set of terminal commands using one click? So I have this program I use to watch movies on my Apple TV that runs from my Mac in Terminal and goes to the TV. Well whenever you wanna start the server up you have to run a set of commands in Terminal.
$ cd Desktop
$ cd PopcornTV
$ sudo npm install
$ sudo node atv.js

These commands start the server which my Apple TV than connects too. Is there anyway I can make a Automator Application or anything of that sort that will run these commands for me when I click a button.

A: Running it in an apple script is not that bad. you just have to run the entire script as root because sudo requires user interaction. if you do an apple script like this one:
do shell script "cd ~/Desktop/PopcornTV && /path/to/npm install && /path/to/node atv.js" with administrator privileges

replace then/path/to/npm and /path/to/node with the output of which npm and which node
it will open up a dialogue and ask you for your password.

A: A solution without using Automator:
1. Gathering some details:

*

*What is the path to npm?  Find out using which npm in Terminal.app

*What is the path to node?  Find out using which node in Terminal.app

*What is your username?  Find using whoami in Terminal.app

All of this is important, make a note of the outputs.
2. Configuring sudo
Let's now configure sudo to not require you to use a password for those two commands.
In Terminal.app, enter the following:
sudo visudo

You will need to enter your password, though you won't see any typing as you enter it.  Press enter when you've completed entering your password.
This will open the /etc/sudoers file for you (probably in vi/vim) press shift+g to go to the bottom of the file, then press o to insert a newline and start inserting text, enter the following:
# Allow me to use npm and node without password
username ALL = NOPASSWD: /path/to/npm /path/to/node

You will need to replace "username", "/path/to/npm", and "/path/to/node" with the details you gathered in section 1.
When you have finished entering these details, save and quit by pressing esc then entering :x then pressing enter.
3. Wrapping it up in a file
Let's create a file to put those commands in.  In Terminal.app enter the following:
echo '#!/bin/bash
cd /Users/username/Desktop/PopcornTV
sudo /path/to/npm install
sudo /path/to/node atv.js' > ~/Desktop/startPopcornTV.command

chmod 740 ~/Desktop/startPopcornTV.command

Again, you'll need to replace "username", "/path/to/npm", and "/path/to/node" with the details you gathered in section 1.
4. Running
On your Desktop you will now have a file called startPopcornTV.command (depending on your setting it might just be called startPopcornTV).
All you need to do now is double click that file and it will start PopcornTV for you.

A: Open up Applescript-Editor
add this:
do shell script "cd ~/Desktop/PopcornTV && /usr/local/bin/npm install && /usr/local/bin/node atv.js" with administrator privileges

Save as an application. Just open it when you want to run.

A: I think this should work :
echo "#\n cd Desktop \n cd PopcornTV \n sudo npm install \n sudo node atv.js" >> ~/Desktop/startMyServer.command

then make the command file executable
chmod +x ~/Desktop/startMyServer.command

you will then find the file startMyServer.command on your desktop

A: Please... use the nice tool Automator!!! For heavens sake, it did not come with macOS for nothing!
So regardless of the Terminal commands that you want to execute, do the following:

*

*Launch Automator (which can be found in your Applications folder)

*Choose Application as the type and confirm by clicking

*In the Actions, choose Utilities and doubleclick or drag Run Shell Script to the right pane

*Copy/paste or enter the Terminal commands within the blank space within the window, you can leave all pulldown values to default

It's happening. The apocalypse. Microsoft is releasing an IDE that works on Linux, Mac, and Windows (in that order) and giving it away for free. So we should all be on the lookout for walkers or gyrating tripods or something like that.
I was hoping that Code would be it. After all, it has Visual Studio in it's name, is produced by Microsoft (though I don't know if it's the same team that does the standard Visual Studio), and is hosted at code.visualstudio.com.
But that's not the case. As soon as I downloaded it and started it up, I realized that Code is NOT simply another version of Visual Studio. It's an entirely different product, and it shines in its own way. It isn't supposed to look and feel like Visual Studio, and it probably isn't supposed to play that role. It's a cross-platform basic IDE, and it is a great one.
There are some familiar keyboard shortcuts (one of the first things I tried was Ctrl+K, Ctrl+C to comment out a block of code and Ctrl+k, Ctrl+U to uncomment it) but there were some shortcuts that weren't there (Ctrl+M, Ctrl+O). It didn't automatically close my HTML tags when I opened them, but it did helpfully suggest the closing tag when I typed the opening angle-bracket.
Overall, Code reminds me of Sublime. Sublime was the front-runner in my IDE search, and I was using it until yesterday. Like Sublime, Code comes with a dark theme by default, has the sidebar on the left (Solution Explorer is usually on the right in Visual Studio), and allows you to search for files easily. But after using Code for a day, I can say that I think it will replace Sublime. It's simple to use, has caused me less trouble than Sublime has thus far, and it's free. Plus it has tight git integration that I haven't tried yet, so what's not to like?
Code is not perfect (of course), but that's mitigated by the fact that we're still on version 0.3.0 and it's in preview. I expect it to improve a lot in the coming months.
If the mood is right, I might put together a proper review after I've used it for some time. For now, I can say that I think I've found myself a good, well-rounded IDE for Linux. At least for what I'm trying to do right now.
Questions? Comments? Rants? A blog is not a blog without a place readers can use to tell the world how much money they make by just clicking links on Google. Head to Twitter to join the discussion. I'm @aaronjgreenwald and I'd love to hear from you.
You're reading Aaron Greenwald's coding blog, where he writes infrequently about code, software and programming. Read more about him (me, actually) here.


Am I a writer? I write, therefore I am one. I think the same thing about running. I run, therefore, I am a runner.
I think a lot of people think we need qualifications to be writers (or runners). To be a writer, one has to have a public face, either online or in a bookstore, their name a byline in black typeset. To be a runner, one must be fast, participate in timed races, or abide by training plans.
But the truth is, God created some of us to blossom under the labels of "writer" and "runner," just like He also did with other ways in which we serve and enjoy life: gardener, singer, painter, mother.
No one has to use any labels to define them. If they don't serve a purpose for you, don't use them. But if you feel that burning in your heart...I am a _______________., chances are it's because it's a spiritual gifting waiting to be used. In public, in secret. Who knows?
So be the _____________. Don't get trapped in the world's definition of _______________. Imagine all the ways God could use your gift. Don't pull out measuring sticks.
You might do something so unique, there is nothing that could possibly even compare, friend.
Thank you for the encouragement, Jen! It's so easy to play the comparison game and qualify ourselves as NOT being something rather than allowing ourselves the grace to see that we are a __________ and a work in progress.
In my welcome, I define myself with a list of "I am_______" labels. I don't say I am a writer, though. I have a hard time saying that - but I do and I am - and no matter how many doors I try to walk through with with my gift - I can only use it where I am, one step at a time - and find joy with it where I am - no where I wanna be's. Mighty fine insight in your post, Jen!
Amen Jen!! Love this and so encouraging!! You are a beautiful writer, so glad you continue to write.
From FMF. I love your thoughts.

Food banks across the metro area seeing increased demand
"So many of our families are living paycheck to paycheck. And those paychecks aren't growing as fast as inflation is," Community Food Share CEO, Kim Da Silva said.

LOUISVILLE, Colo. — Inflation has hit hard in Colorado and food banks are feeling it too. It's impacting the price of food and the cost of distributing that food to people in need. Food banks like the Community Food Share in Louisville say they are dealing with the fallout of the pandemic.
Kim Da Silva, CEO of the Community Food Share in Louisville, says as food prices go up at the grocery store, the lines at the food bank stretch longer down the block.
"So many of our families are living paycheck to paycheck. And those paychecks aren't growing as fast as inflation is," said Da Silva.
The Community Food Share says it's seen nearly a 60% increase this year in the number of people using their services. Amid changing prices and increased demand, the food bank is still stocking shelves with produce, infant supplies and clothes.
"Right now we're distributing about 90% of what we did through the pandemic," said Da Silva. "So where we had a stabilization period before the start of 2020, we are now seeing that climb up to record rates once again."
The Community Food Share serves thousands of people every month and they say hundreds of them are children and seniors. Many of them are coming to the food bank for the first time as the cost of living is on the rise.
Mike Cavett came to the food bank for the first time in October.
"2020 was a rough year for just about everybody," said Cavett. "Now we're dealing with inflation. And I think, you know, any little bit of help that anyone can receive at this point is much appreciated."
Cavett says his weekly trip to the food bank saves him hundreds of dollars at the grocery store each month.
"I mean this has, you know, completely eliminated the need to go to the grocery store," said Cavett. "It has greatly reduced our cost of groceries."
Cavett says whatever the need, you can find a helping hand in this community.
"That's the beautiful thing about what's going on here is that it is not exclusive. And then everybody is welcome," said Cavett.
Challenges mount for local food bank as gas, food prices soar

Plutão possui cinco satélites naturais conhecidos. O maior, Caronte, tem metade do diâmetro de Plutão, sendo assim o maior do Sistema Solar em comparação com o corpo que orbita. As outras quatro luas, Nix, Hidra, Cérbero e Estige são muito menores.

História

O satélite mais próximo de Plutão, Caronte, foi descoberto por James Christy em 22 de junho de 1978, aproximadamente meio século depois de Plutão. As duas luas seguintes foram fotografadas pelo Pluto Companion Search Team do Telescópio Espacial Hubble em maio de 2005. Com as órbitas confirmadas, as luas receberam nomes definitivos: Hidra (Plutão III, anteriormente S/2005 P 1) e Nix (Plutão II, anteriormente S/2005 P 2). Os nomes foram escolhidos em parte para que suas letras iniciais fossem as mesmas da sonda New Horizons. Outras observações pelo Hubble foram feitas de fevereiro a março de 2006. A quarta lua, Cérbero, foi anunciada em julho de 2011, e Estige, a quinta lua, em 11 de Julho de 2012.

A possibilidade de anéis criados por impactos nas luas menores vai ser investigada pela sonda New Horizons em 2015, quando ela visitar o sistema de Plutão.

Características

O sistema de Plutão é altamente compacto: os cinco satélites conhecidos orbitam-no dentro dos 3% internos da região onde órbitas prógradas seriam estáveis.

Plutão e Caronte são considerados um planeta duplo porque Plutão e Caronte (que tem metade do diâmetro de Plutão) orbitam um ponto que está acima da superfície de Plutão, ou seja, o baricentro do sistema está em um ponto entre as superfícies de ambos. No sistema Plutão-Caronte há acoplamento de marés, o que significa que os dois corpos sempre apresentam o mesmo hemisfério um para o outro.

De acordo com recálculos recentes, as órbitas das luas são circulares e coplanares, com inclinações diferenciando menos de 0,4° e excentricidades menos de 0,005. Vistas da Terra, essas órbitas praticamente circulares aparecem alongadas em elipses dependendo da posição de Plutão.

Quando descoberto, Hidra era um pouco mais brilhante que Nix, e por isso pensava-se que Hidra era 20% maior que a outra lua, mas outras observações revelaram que as duas luas são praticamente do mesmo tamanho. É provável que a mudança no brilho se deva à curva de luz de Hidra, mas não se sabe se isso acontece devido à forma irregular ou a variações no brilho da superfície (albedo). O diâmetro dos objetos pode ser estimado a partir de seus albedos assumidos, que é de 35% assim como Caronte, mas as luas podem ter 130 km se elas tiverem o albedo 4% dos objetos do cinturão de Kuiper mais escuros. No entanto, dadas sua cor e similaridades química a Caronte, é provável que seus albedos sejam similares ao de Caronte e que seus diâmetros sejam próximos às estimativas mínimas.

Origem
Suspeita-se que o sistema de satélites de Plutão foi criado por uma colisão massiva, semelhante ao "grande golpe" que se acredita ter criado a Lua. Em ambos os casos, os altos momentos angulares das luas só podem ser explicados por tal cenário. As órbitas quase circulares das luas menores sugerem que elas também foram formadas nessa colisão, em vez de serem objetos capturados do Cinturão de Kuiper. Isso e suas ressonâncias orbitais próximas com Caronte (veja abaixo) sugerem que eles se formaram mais perto de Plutão do que são atualmente e migraram para fora quando Caronte atingiu sua órbita atual. Sua cor cinza é diferente da de Plutão, um dos corpos mais vermelhos do Sistema Solar. Acredita-se que isso se deva a uma perda de voláteis durante o impacto ou coalescência subsequente, deixando as superfícies das luas dominadas pelo gelo de água. No entanto, tal impacto deveria ter criado detritos adicionais (mais luas), mas nenhuma lua ou anel foi descoberto pela New Horizons, descartando mais luas de tamanho significativo orbitando Plutão.

The reasons an affiliate of Triarch Investment Group wanted to acquire the 17.8-acre Doral Costa Office Park are clear.
The three Class A office buildings are 96 percent leased in a strong submarket. Tenants include Allstate Corp., HSBC Bank and Samsung. The property has nearly an acre of developable land.
"The Doral area is a very attractive area. Developable land in the heart of an office complex was very attractive to this buyer group," said Oscar Rivera, a shareholder with Siegfried Rivera, who represented buyer Doral Costa Capital LLC.
But completing the $73.75 million transaction with the seller, an affiliate of Boston-based TA Associates Realty, required fast work.


Multnomah County JSD is among the first national sites to implement the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI), a change model that helps participating jurisdictions reduce their reliance on local confinement of court-involved youth. Keeping youth out of detention, whenever possible, reduces the risk of their eventual incarceration.
JDAI is a project of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, a philanthropic organization dedicated to building better futures for disadvantaged children, and their families, in the United States.
Begun in the 1990s, JDAI's main goal is to identify youth who don't belong in detention and funnel them into less costly, more effective community-based programs.
As we continue to operate JDAI to continue reducing our detention populations and ongoing racial disparities in the juvenile justice system. We also now function as a learning laboratory for hundreds of jurisdictions across the U.S., supporting the national expansion of the JDAI change model.
We use the Relative Rate Index (RRI) to compare the experiences of different groups of youth within the juvenile justice system.
Contact the JDAI team for more information or assistance, including help planning a site visit.
Learn more about JDAI's objectives and core strategies.

Hello, and Happy NEW YEAR 2008, to one and all my valued readers of "Marine Waves".Though, serious expositions over the years in a democratic set-up, raising Seafarer's fundamental rights made through monthly editorials of www.themarinewaves.com "MARINE WAVES" of the inherent flaws prevailing in the existing system, needing fair policing, owing to which continuance of injustice meted out by the seafarers. This is despite seafarers working hard out at sea, separated from their near and dear ones, living with risks and sacrifices, bringing in valuable foreign exchange, to their country of origin.
Their welfare continue to be neglected, owing to their not being able to form an association/union of their own, to claim their genuine rights and privileges, while those ashore enjoy all the benefits. Seafarers are also deprived of their after service terminal benefits unlike shore-based employees. While, all are equal in the eyes of the Constitution and the law, do they not have an equal right to protection of law? Seafarers expect effective policing, law enforcing machinery, reasonably quick and fair justice delivery, to one and all, citizen of the nation. Why a corrective, practical solution, not put in place, but being unmoved during this RTI Act age. It's high time; "Social Security Bill for Seafarers" is introduced, in our democratic set-up. The Imperative needs, to really look into the work-safety and living conditions of seafarers, redress their genuine grievances; examine their aspirations and expectations evolved over the years. Prime responsibility of any government is to protect the interests of its countrymen, ensuring safety and security of their lives and property. It is unfortunate that their welfare, continue to be neglected. Consider seafarers as humans, their dignity, security, safety,welfare etc. would then boost Indian seafarers image, to be on top of the world.
Hence, why not "Officers and Ratings of the Merchant Navy, be also covered by the national commissioner ate of labour and safety", which would bring the protective eyes of the specialised labour experts, for uniformity and fairness, importantly the voiceless seamen, to make their voices heard? Empower our SEAFARERS through the required "REAL KNOWLEDGE" for safety of cargo, ship and lives employed onboard. Hence, explore sincere drive to recruit those who are really physically and mentally-fit, ensure that they have acquired the required skills with the real will to work, to serve in the hard seas and retain productive sea- staff, minimising accidents out at sea making safe sea transport and clean environment, for optimized productive transport.
Our Government, should not continue to exploit the situation of seamen's inability to get together and raise their genuine voice, while those employed ashore make all tall claims and achieve by mass strike and hartals owing to which, welfare of supporting services stands far and more better than the main productive transportation staff (seafarers). Fairness needed to be primarily instilled by our government, which is the fundamental right, of the seafarers. "Theory is splendid but until put into practice, or else it is valueless." One need to keep abreast with updates, in one's own line of discipline and as well as that of one's interest to excel during this fast life. "Reasonably painful effort, brings you with everlasting gain". Short cuts are always short-lived. "Being busy does not always mean real work. Our object to work is to be meaningful, on the desired quality and quantity of production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be a real good forethought, system, planning, intelligence and an honest purpose, as well as the needed perspiration. Seeming or appearing to do work is not doing. Keep yourself physically and mentally fit at all times, to keep you upright and give you're best, for you and to the society at large.
"MARINE WAVES" publication is independent. We are not ship-owners, nor a charity obtaining funds from any industrial organisations, neither philanthropists nor we form a part of any government, nor a seafarers union. We believe in honesty and efficiency, instilling fairness and justice on humanity towards our seafarers in our thoughts and action. Our observance:- Lack of transparency and accountability in the system, lack of effective corruption reporting mechanisms, lack of honesty in the dealing staff and officers of Mercantile Marine Department, owing to their inadequate training and orientation,but for exploiting the weakness of the seafarers in active sea service.
In plain truth, seafarers in active service are bound to be scary, to rake up any confrontation with the MMD officials and hence such corrupted officials get protected, not getting exposed of their undesired unlawful acts and unfair means of dealing with them. It is the media to expose the corrupt officials. Citizens should make good use of the media to express their assent and dissent, in true sense. Hence every citizen is partly responsible, for the state of governance, instead blaming the Executive or legislature or the judiciary, as a whole. One needs to accept the facts that err is human. The four pillars of democracy need to be duty bound, taking a fair and just decision, in their respective discipline, with mutual respects of each. The media needed to be regulated for factual investigative reporting, to increase awareness among people, about their rights and act as a reliable source of information and on the basis of which civil society organisations and public authorities could work to bring down the incidences of arbitrary abuse of authority. It is the bounden duty of the PRESS to carry only facts, nothing but facts and must be un-biased. There should be no imagination of facts or exaggeration of facts or else it will create a bad impression and tarnish the image of the media. Every right thinking citizen, need to encourage the media in any form, to come out with facts for national growth and development. Our nation suffers, not because of the violence of bad people but because of the silence of good people.
