"I have long been captivated with the presence of sound in people's senses of self, of space, and of place. I am especially interested in the rhythms of everyday life and the rich diversity with which people around the world employ sound to bring bodies to move in sync; be it on the dance floor, to performing religious and civic rituals, to marching in mass political demonstrations. My research in Guantánamo, Cuba, examines the strong relationships between music making, place, and cultural identities. One of the insights of this research is that social and political movements succeed to the extent that they affectively articulate individual and collective perceptions of how the world is and how it might be."

Sherborne to get "yet another" coffee shop as West Dorset District Council seals fate of 62 Cheap Street
The council's planning committee voted to approve the plans
Daniel MumbyLocal Democracy Reporter
The fate of a contentious building in Sherborne town centre has been sealed after councillors voted to allow to to become a coffee shop.
West Dorset District Council's planning committee met in Dorchester on Thursday (October 12) to discuss plans to convert 62 Cheap Street (formerly Melson Wingate opticians) into a coffee shop.
The plans have drawn considerable criticism from the town council and local businesses, who fear that the variety available on Sherborne's high street could be diluted by another coffee outlet.
But the council chose to overlook these concerns, voting eight to four in favour of granting permission.

Both of Sherborne's representatives - Dominic Elliott and Robin Legg - were among the four councillors who voted against the plans.
Planning officer Cass Worman said in her report: "It is estimated that... a coffee shop of this size will seat around 60 covers, which is considered to be an acceptable scale for a town centre coffee shop use.
"The increase in floor space is considered to be an acceptable scale of development for a retail use in the primary shopping frontage of the town centre.

"The provision of a larger retail space in the town centre will also be an attractive asset and addition to Sherborne's retail estate.
"It is not anticipated that the addition of one coffee shop in this location will have an adverse impact on the vitality and viability of the town centre."
The council has requested that the opening hours of any new coffee shop be 7am to 6pm from Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sundays - similar to the existing Costa Coffee outlet at 30 Cheap Street.
Town and county councillor Jon Andrews, who attended the meeting as a member of the public, remarked: "Now we just have to wait and see if it will be a Starbucks or a Caffè Nero."

Schmidt Named ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Men's Lacrosse Scholar-Athlete of the Year Brett Schmidt of Maryland leads the 2011 All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic team as announced today by Commissioner John Swofford.
In addition to Schmidt, four other Terps, sophomore Owen Blye and seniors Dan Burns, Grant Catalino and Brian Farrell were named to the All-ACC Academic team.
Schmidt, a native of Dublin, Pa., earned United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) All-America honors, LaxPower All-America team recognition and was a member of both the 2011 NCAA All-Tournament and ACC All-Tournament team. The senior led the 2011 Terrapins with 22 caused turnovers and led all defenders with 50 groundballs. In addition, he helped lead a Terrapin defense that finished the season ranked fourth in the nation in scoring defense.
Four men's lacrosse student-athletes who earned All-Conference honors this past season secured spots on the 30-member All-ACC Academic squad, while 11 selections are repeat All-ACC Academic team honorees. Joining Schmidt as student-athletes who earned both All-ACC Academic team recognition and All-Conference honors in 2011 are Duke's CJ Costabile and Jordan Wolf and North Carolina's Ryan Flanagan.
Duke placed at least 12 student-athletes on the team for the fifth-consecutive year as the Blue Devils registered a league-high 14 honorees, one shy of their program-high (15) earned during the 2007, 2008 and 2010 All-ACC Academic team counts. North Carolina followed with eight honorees, while Maryland and Virginia had five and three recognized, respectively.
The ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year honor was established in September 2007 to be awarded annually to the top junior or senior student-athlete in their respective sports. Candidates for the award must have maintained a 3.0 grade point average for their career as well as a 3.0 for each of the last two semesters.
To be eligible for consideration for the All-ACC Academic team, a student-athlete, regardless of classification, must have earned a 3.00 grade point average for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during his academic career.
The 2011 All-ACC Academic Men's Lacrosse team is as follows:

Given how that number points to a date just a few days away, plenty of people expect some news soon.
A series of tweets are showing that Bethesda is planning a big surprise for all of us. Much stranger things have happened, so we wouldn't rule it out, especially since Bethesda is planning to go big at E3 this year. They seem to have nothing in color but, in fact, all of them have some pink traces in them. But instead of denying the game's listing, the company seemed to have confirmed it by correcting Walmart's mistakes in the listing and suggesting that it could be bringing the game to its E3 presentation next month. Furthermore, Bethesda has many games in store for us during the upcoming E3 2018 event.

Ahead of E3, gamers, journalists, enthusiasts, and leakers all work their hardest to try to pull any morsel of info that they can from publishers, assets, press packets, and web servers in order to find out about what will be presented at this year's E3. Some say that these are for Rage 2 and others think it is Starfield. It was one of the first games to feature the new id Tech game engine which was then subsequently used by Wolfenstein, The Evil Within and DOOM.

Finally here are some pics of my new 2013 264 Extreme with the new Volvo 6.0. Lake tested it and took delivery Saturday. Added a few goodies. Glad to be back into it after a year off of boating and an aborted move to the mountains. Now we just need some water in the lakes.
Still not sold on the location of the camera but the dealership said they will mount it any where I want. Will have to be a long loop to get over the apparatus.
WOW is all I can say!!! That boat is bad@$$!!!!! I love all the goodies you have on it. Enjoy her!
very nice, I would think the only worry I would have from your camera location is if the rope after a fall or a bit of slack wraps around it then pulls it but it also looks fairly robust, its a nice feature and a sharp looking boat.
Is that a rear view camera for skiers/boarders? Not sure I've ever seen that before. Love it. Congrats!
Most impressive, nice job with all the add ons, awesome looking boat and rigged to the hilt. A great summer ahead for you and your family.
Question (maybe a dumb one) on the camera, what's the intended purpose? Are you replacing the need for rearview mirror or wanting to film your riders?
Camera is to view the skier and tubers in the cockpit without the mirror. I wanted GPS and my dealer does a lot of bass boats so he suggested this set up. I am not sure of the camera position as others have pointed out. I can also record video via a splitter if I want to. The camera is adjustable for zoom as well.
What is the brand of camera? Thanks.
Very Nice! I wouldn't want to service the engine, looks a little tight.
Love the camera and the sound/lighting systems.
1. What Underwater light product did you go with?
2. Do you have enough batteries?
Let me know if there is a lake we can meet-up at sometime.
That is one nice Chap... Congrats!
I'll second the WOW! Really nice setup. We ordered almost the same boat - non-extreme - Sunesta. I can't recall ever seeing a boat with tinted windows, but I think I'm going to have to have that done once the boat shows up.
Very nice. Have a great summer!
I never quite understood these "wakeboard" sterndrive boats. They are useless in the sport yet people make them/buy them. It doesn't even have a ballast system which is hilarious.
Or, for cheaper.... you can get the most advanced best wakeboard/wakesurf/wakeskate/tubing boat ever sold.
Wow... way to rain on the guy's parade.
I haven't driven the boat you referenced, but I have driven other boats designed specifically for wakeboarding. One thing stands out far more than others: they ride like sh¡t in any kind of moderate chop.
Perhaps it didn't occur to you that MisterScott may have been looking for a good compromise between a dedicated wakeboard boat and a versatile bowrider? Furthermore, the dedicated wakeboard boat may be a bit overkill for people who are amateurs to the sport or may enjoy a variety of different water sports.
MisterScott - it's a killer looking boat. I'm sure a I speak for many when I say I hope you enjoy many pleasure-filled, trouble-free hours on it.
Well, I didn't mean to rain on any parades I'm sure he researched before he purchased. It's a very beautiful bowrider styled after modern wakeboarding boats but it has maybe 10% of the functionality of a real wakeboarding boat. That and the fact that stermdrive tow boats are insanely dangerous/deadly.
Agree, great looking boat. Hopefully, there will be some rain in the right places. We could sure use it.
Great idea on the camera. Much better than the mirror from a cool factor.
Really? I bet he can get as good or a better wake with those trim tabs than someone with a fatsac can, and he doesn't have to load 1000 gallons of water onto his boat. Boats are as safe as their users. You can drive over a person in the water no matter where your prop is.
Displacement creates wake, not trim tabs. Having a ton or so of water in the boat makes the boat sit lower in the water when moving creating more displacement (wake). Also keeping it from going on plane. The 265 is a standard high speed sterndrive hull designed to create as little wake as possible (hull out of water for efficiency).
Stern drives are deadly in tow sports because the prop sticks 2ft out of the rear of the boat. Have someone sitting in the water off the swim platform with their legs towards the boat and put it in gear? Bye bye feet. Modern inboard tow boats have 5-6ft of space from the back of the swim platform to the prop. Very safe.

Spikes' Taglieri Dulls Crosscutters in Complete Game Victory, 6-1
August 11, 2021 - Major League Baseball Draft League (MLBDL) - State College Spikes News Release
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - Zach Taglieri limited the Williamsport Crosscutters to five hits over seven innings and notched the seventh complete game in State College Spikes history to earn a 6-1 win on Wednesday night at Muncy Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field.
Taglieri, who started his collegiate career at The Citadel before heading to North Greenville (S.C.) University as a graduate transfer in 2021, struck out five batters in the longest effort for a Spikes (27-31-3) pitcher this season. The 2016 Dodgers 40th-round draft choice's complete game was the first for a State College hurler since Enmanuel Solano delivered a similar seven-inning performance in 2019 against Auburn in the first game of a doubleheader at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.
Other pitchers to have thrown a complete game in State College franchise history, all of seven innings for less, include Tyler Herron and Matt Lane in 2006, Nicolas Suero in 2007, Willy Paulino in 2013, and Daniel Castano in 2017.
Jaxon Shirley's leadoff solo homer in the fifth, his second of the MLB Draft League season, was the only blow separating the Crosscutters (26-30-3) from being shut out.
State College took the lead in the opening frame as Zacchaeus Rasberry's RBI groundout brought in Luke Seidel. Max Guadalupe extended the lead with a run-scoring single in the second before Marques Paige stepped up with the bases loaded in the fifth and cleared them with a double to make it 5-0.
Paige then scored on Brian Morrell's single later in the same inning to finalize the Spikes' scoring.
Williamsport starter Will Allen (0-2) took the loss after allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over three innings. Allen recorded one strikeout on the night.
The game was shortened to seven innings per a previous MLB Draft League decision in the interests of player safety that Tuesday and Wednesday games would be seven innings in length.
The Spikes and Crosscutters are set to return to Medlar Field at Lubrano Park on Thursday to start State College's final homestand of the 2021 season. The 6:35 p.m. game will feature LuCKy's Kia Lease Giveaway on Fan Appreciation Night presented by Lion Country Kia, where one "LuCKy" fan from the thousands of entries received throughout the season will drive away with a three-year lease on a brand new Kia.
Plus, it's Bellefonte Community Night, celebrating the seat of Centre County and the home of seven governors, with a FREE Kids Zone! presented by Friends of Jake Corman. The Spikes will also welcome the Bellefonte Intervalley Area Chamber of Commerce out for an After Hours event at the ballpark during the game.
In addition, Thursday will feature the Centre County United Way Campaign Kickoff for 2022.
The fun also includes Thirsty Thursday, with $2 16-oz. select drafts and $3 16-oz. craft drafts available from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The 2021 season concludes on Friday with a 6:35 p.m. game featuring a FIREWORKS From the Field GRAND FINALE EXTRAVAGANZA presented by Starfire Corporation, the official FIREWORKS provider of the Spikes throughout the 2021 season. All fans are invited to come down onto the outfield grass for an unprecedented view of the enhanced and lengthened FIREWORKS show to take the season out with a bang.
Additionally, fans who were part of the historic, record crowd of 7,183 on July 4 can relive that spirit with a $4 ticket discount for each of the remaining home games. The $4 discount, which excludes seats in the Geisinger Champions Club and Pepsi Picnic Pavilion, can be claimed by presenting a digital or printed ticket from the Spikes' Fourth of July game at the Spikes Ticket Office.
Tickets for both home games on Thursday and Friday are currently on sale through the Spikes Ticket Office. Tickets can be purchased by calling (814) 272-1711 or by visiting the Ticket Office in person from 9 a.m. to the end of the game on gamedays Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to the end of the game on gamedays Saturday and Sunday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on non-gamedays Monday through Friday.
Fans can also buy and download single-game tickets by visiting StateCollegeSpikes.com.
Catch all of the action on Thursday via the Spikes Radio Network, presented by Penn State Sports Medicine, Official Healthcare Provider of Penn State Athletics, starting with Spikes Live, presented by Mount Nittany Health, on the air from Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The game can be viewed worldwide on the MLB Draft League streaming platform at MLBDraftLeague.com/streaming, along with the "Listen Live" link on StateCollegeSpikes.com and the TuneIn Radio app.

Create an award program to recognize and express appreciation for individual contributions moving towards broader use of OER.
Does your institution award "Faculty of Year" recognition? Do you have some other way of recognizing faculty achievement at the end of the school year? If so, what about giving monthly, semi-annual, or annual awards to faculty who are doing exceptional work with OER?
Award programs don't have to be expensive or complicated. The primary purpose is to recognize great work. As you do that, you're elevating colleagues, saying thank-you, and generating greater awareness about the impact your institution is making with OER.
Invite a few fellow faculty members and OER advocates to be part of the award committee.
Defining what you want to recognize: Is it the number of students impacted? Teaching and learning innovation? Cost savings? Curating and developing course materials? Collaboration and teamwork?
Identify the criteria you'll use to select award-winners.
Create a simple award proposal or nomination form to capture the information you'll evaluate as you're making the awards.
Design the award itself: Decide what award-winners will receive.
When teachers go out of their way to try OER, it's important to show some love for their commitment and dedication. Awards provide important recognition within the campus community, and they are also an easy way to help faculty substantiate their professional development using OER on their CVs!
Collaborate with a senior administrator to send out a digital award. Deans are a good match for this announcement because they get to report out on something positive in their departments. You write the award announcement, create the digital award, and support the administrator sending out the faculty award.

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) board wrangled for hours on Friday as nations debated whether to give climate aid to an oil-rich Gulf state.
California's Air Resources Board (ARB) postponed its approval of cap-and-trade amendments this week as it grapples with a flood of industry questions about proposed price band levels and political issues tied to the midterm elections, regulatory sources said.
An international hydroelectric project set to deliver clean energy to Massachusetts should not proceed, because it may actually contribute to increased GHG emissions in the northeast US, according to a new report commissioned by three Maine environmental groups.
EUAs ended slightly lower on Friday but held above key trend support and near €20 to post a small weekly loss.
Still rising – China's Q3 GDP growth slowed down, government data shows, but fossil fuel use kept rising as has been the trend all year long, although at a slightly slower rate. Total power generation rose 4.6% in September y/y and has increased 7.4% year-to-date, the National Bureau of Statistics said. Thermal power generation rose 3.7% y/y and has grown 6.9% ytd, likely pushing China's energy-related CO2 emissions higher, even though renewable and nuclear generation also increased.
Drive it faster – Britain should ban gasoline and diesel fueled cars by 2032 to speed up a shift toward zero-emissions vehicles, a panel of lawmakers from the main parties in Parliament said. According to Bloomberg, the Business Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee in the House of Commons said the government should implement the ban by 2032, eight years earlier than the current target, and that failing to do so would undermine promises to reduce air pollution by over two thirds by 2050.
Cabin pressure – The National Airlines Council of Canada on Friday sent a letter to three federal ministries cautioning the government about the effect its 'backstop' carbon levy would cause to revenues as well as marginal domestic routes. Airlines will be required to pay the levy – starting at C$20 next year – within provinces that fall under the federal pricing system, with Ottawa slated to work on a system for interprovincial flights. However, lobby group president Massimo Bergamini told The Canadian Press that a higher Ontario aviation fuel tax would combine with the carbon tax to drive up the cost of a flight by as much as $45 for a family of four by 2022 in the province, with resulting higher fares potentially pushing more Canadians to US airports and airlines. Additionally, he said carriers may have to cut the number of flights on marginal routes, including in the country's remote north. Instead, the council is advocating a federal system similar to cap-and-trade where carriers could buy and sell credits from other industries.
Do chime in – The Ontario government is requesting public consultation in developing its "made-in-Ontario" climate plan due for release later this fall. The government said that areas of focus in the plan will include understanding the impacts of climate change across a variety of sectors, creating measures to reduce GHGs, and utilising private finance to drive innovative climate solutions, including an "emissions reductions fund" for technology-based solutions. Comments can be submitted anonymously, with the consultation running until Nov. 16.
15 minutes of Dirk – IETA boss Dirk Forrister was interviewed by CNN Switzerland for a segment covering carbon markets, the Paris Agreement, Trump, a European carbon floor price, the Swiss-EU link, China's ETS, net zero 2050, and other riveting topics from our industry.


Here's an interesting coda to the exchange between the Anti-Defamation League and Fox's Glenn Beck about Beck's attack on Holocaust survivor George Soros: Fox chief Roger Ailes reached out to the ADL's Abe Foxman after Foxman criticized Beck, the Daily Beast reports.
It was after that conversation that Foxman softened his criticism of Beck, telling Salon that while Beck is sometimes insensitive, he is in the end "a strong supporter of Israel and the Jewish people."
ADL has had good relations with Fox for some time. The group recently honored News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch with its International Leadership Award. (And in this picture from last month, Ailes and Foxman posed for a picture together.) In his acceptance speech, Murdoch called for an end to what he called "the soft war that seeks to isolate Israel."
The question of the Middle East -- and Fox's pro-Israel coverage -- goes far in explaining why the ADL backed off Beck, despite serious charges of anti-Semitism.

Free tutoring to support students in NSW schools
For the first time in NSW, students will receive free tutoring in 2021 thanks to a landmark $337 million program that is part of the NSW 2020-21 Budget.
The program increases the ongoing support for students' education after a disruptive school year.
The Government is employing up to 5,500 additional staff to deliver small-group teaching at every NSW government school, as well as non-government schools with the most significant levels of need.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said people in NSW are working hard to recover from the pandemic, and the Government is committed to ensuring students' educational outcomes continue to improve in 2021.
"2020 has been a tough year, particularly for our students and teachers who did an incredible job despite a disrupted year that included seven weeks of remote learning due to COVID-19, and in some areas that came on top of bushfires and floods," Ms Berejiklian said.
The Department of Education will support schools to identify students who would benefit the most from this intensive support, tailoring it to their requirements.
Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning, Sarah Mitchell today called for educators across the State to express their interest in being part of this historic effort
including; casual and retired teachers, final year teaching students, and university tutors including PhD candidates who are already teaching undergraduate classes at university.
"We know that learning for many students stagnated during the pandemic and tuition in small groups will help re-engage our students in their schooling," Ms Mitchell said.
"This program is designed to have maximum impact on student outcomes, because small-group tuition rapidly accelerates student learning."
Key features of the COVID learning support package include:
$306 million to provide small-group tuition for eligible students across every NSW government school – primary, secondary and Schools for Specific Purposes (SSPs)
$31 million for non-government schools with the greatest levels of need to provide small-group tuition
The program will begin in Term 1, 2021 and run throughout the school year.
Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said the program would see a boost in employment for casual and part-time teachers and university tutors.
"This program will not only support our students in their education but will also provide unprecedented employment opportunities for qualified teachers and university tutors who may be short on work," Mr Perrottet said.
"We will also make sure our rural and remote school leaders can access the expert additional staff members they need to implement the program successfully," Ms Mitchell added.
The COVID intensive learning support program is the latest measure in the NSW Government's strategy to improve literacy and numeracy outcomes and ensure that every school and every student can improve every year.

Pope Francis regularly meets with abuse victims on Fridays
By MyChurchCantandoConDios 14/02/2018 14/02/2018 Vatican
Vatican City, Feb 15, 2018 / 05:45 am (CNA/EWTN News).- In a conversation with Jesuits during his recent visit to Peru, Pope Francis said he regularly meets with victims of sexual abuse on Fridays, and that while the percentage of priests who abuse is relatively low, even one is too many.
When it comes to sexual abuse, if you look at the statistics, roughly "70 percent of pedophiles are in the family environment, acquaintances. Then in gyms, at the pool," the Pope said in a conversation with Peruvian Jesuits, published Feb. 15.
The meeting took place Jan. 19 after a courtesy visit to Peruvian President Pedro Kuczynski during a three-day visit to the country, which was part of a wider, Jan. 15-21 visit to South America.
"The percentage of pedophiles that are Catholic priests doesn't reach 2 percent, it's around 1.6 percent. So it's not a lot," he said. However, Francis stressed that "it's terrible even if it were just one of our brothers!"
"God anointed them for the sanctification of children and adults, and he, instead of sanctifying them, has destroyed them. It's horrible!" he said, and underlined the importance of listening to victims and hearing directly about the suffering they've undergone.
To this end, he said he regularly meets with victims of abuse on Fridays, and "their process is so difficult, they are annihilated. They are annihilated!"
For the Church, abuse is "a great humiliation," he said. "It shows not only our fragility, but also, let's say it clearly, our level of hypocrisy."
Vatican spokesman Greg Burke confirmed the news about the Friday meetings, saying in a Feb. 15 statement that "several times a month" Pope Francis meets with victims of sexual abuse either individually or in groups.
Pope Francis, he said, "listens to the victims and tries to help them heal the serious wounds caused by the abuses they've undergone. The meetings are held with the utmost privacy, in respect of the victims and their suffering."
The Pope's comments were made to Peruvian Jesuits during his recent Jan. 15-21 visit to Chile and Peru. He met privately with Jesuits in both countries, taking questions from attendees and listening to their concerns.
The conversations, published in Jesuit journal La Civilta' Cattolica, touched on a variety of issues, and included Francis' discussion with both the Chilean and Peruvian Jesuits. Both Chile and Peru are currently at the center of two major, high-profile cases of sexual abuse, with abuses committed by a Chilean priest and a Peruvian layman.
Francis met privately with abuse victims in Chile, and spoke openly about the tragedy in his Jan. 18 meeting with priests and religious in the country. His comments on abuse were made in response to a question posed by a Peruvian Jesuit about how to handle sex abuse, and whether he had any encouragement to give.
Speaking to the some 100 Jesuits present for the Jan. 19 encounter, Francis responded to the question saying sex abuse is "the greatest desolation that the Church is undergoing."
He recalled a time when was returning home in Argentina. After getting off the metro, he saw a couple with a young toddler walking down the street. When the child started to run in his direction, the father immediately yelled for the child to come back, and to "watch out for the pedophiles."
"What shame I underwent! What shame!" Pope Francis said. "They didn't realize that I was the archbishop, I was a priest, and what shame!"
He noted that often times abuse, particularly in new and flourishing communities, is linked to corruption, citing three types of abuse which often go together.
"Abuse in these congregations is always the result of a mentality linked to power, which must be healed at its evil roots," he said, explaining that the various communities undergoing scandals generally all suffer from a deadly trio of "abuse of authority – with which it means to mix the internal and external forum – sexual abuse, and economic messes."
Noting how both he and Benedict XVI have had to "suppress" various communities, such as the Legionaries of Christ, Francis said there are "many painful cases," and that this phenomenon has also affected new and prosperous congregations, most notably the Peruvian-born Sodalitium Christianae Vitae.
In cases like this, "money is always in the middle," he said, adding that "the devil enters through the wallet."
According to St. Ignatius, one of the first steps of temptation is for wealth, he said. "Then come vanity and pride, but first there is wealth. In the new congregations that have fallen into this problem of abuse these three levels are also found together."
However, citing the Ignatian spiritual exercises, the Pope said the shame experienced can also be a grace, and urged his fellow Jesuits to accept these experiences "as a grace and be deeply ashamed," because "we must love the Church with her wounds."
Though spoken beforehand, the Pope's comments have been made public at a time when he is under fire for his reaction to accusations of abuse cover-up on the part of Bishop Juan Barros of Osorno, Chile.
Appointed to head the Osorno diocese by Pope Francis in 2015, Barros is accused of both witnessing and covering the abuse of his longtime friend Fr. Fernando Karadima, who was found guilty of abuse in 2011. Barros has repeatedly denied these claims.
Opposition to Barros and his appointment has been relentless since his installment in 2015. Pope Francis faced major blow-back during his visit to Chile for saying the accusations against Barros were unfounded, and amounted to "calumny."
On his flight back to Rome, Francis apologized for the comment, saying he had intended to say that there was not enough evidence to convict Barros of cover-up, and that no victims had come forward with information that could prove the Chilean prelate's guilt.
Shortly after the visit, Francis tapped Archbishop Charles Scicluna of Malta, the Vatican's top man in clerical abuse appeals cases, to go to Santiago to hear victims' testimonies. The trip also includes a stop in New York to speak with one of Karadima's most high-profile victims, Juan Carlos Cruz, who has been among the most vocal opponents of Barros.
After Scicluna's appointment, reports came out indicating that before Barros' appointment in 2015, Cruz had sent an 8-page letter detailing Karadima's abuse to the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, alleging that Barros had not only witnessed his abuse and the abuse of others, but had at times participated and covered it up.
According to reports, members of the commission had given the letter to the commission's president, Cardinal Sean O'Malley of Boston, who is said to have presented it to the Pope, raising questions as to whether Francis had read it and was aware of Cruz's testimony before naming Barros to Osorno.

Calais 'jungle' refugee camp cleared with tear gas, water cannons
French police used tear gas and water cannons to clear people out of the refugee camp known as "the jungle" in Calais on Monday.

An operation to clear 'the jungle' is underway.
Against a backdrop of burning huts, workers guarded by scores of French police began tearing down the sprawling migrant camp known as "the jungle" on the outskirts of Calais on Monday.

The clash started when people threw stones and bits of rubble.
French police quickly formed a security cordon and the skirmish ended with three arrests, authorities said. There were no reports of injuries.

With tensions running high, crews moved in.
Helmeted workers began to rip down the makeshift shelters that have housed some 4,000 people dreaming of a new life in western Europe.
Calais is less than 35 kilometres from Dover, across the Channel.
A flash point on the French side of the English Channel, Calais's massive refugee camp sprang up less than a year ago near a ferry terminal and the Eurotunnel rail route to Britain.
ANALYSIS: Children in Calais refugee 'jungle' risk falling through cracks
Several efforts to clear the camp have been carried out in the past, but the dismantling of its dense southern portion, where the present operation is underway, is the most aggressive operation to date.
Thousands of refugees are affected by the evictions.
Humanitarian groups contend more than 3,000 people are affected. French authorities are relocating those displaced to purpose-built accommodation nearby or to centres around France where they can decide whether to apply for asylum.
Many have resisted the move, fearing it will hurt their chances of reaching Britain, and migrant advocates say there isn't enough space in the new areas.


Collateral is something of value that is used to secure a debt or ensure payment. Sometimes a bail bond company will receive collateral in order to ensure that the defendant appears in court. Most bail bond collateral is in the form of real estate or cash. A bail company must return your collateral at the resolution of the case.
At 1st Choice Bail Bods, collateral is generally not required for most bail bonds. We write most bail as "signature bonds" meaning the nature of the case, your good credit history and stability in the community leads us to believe we do not need collateral.
Not with 1st Choice Bail Bonds. We often negotiate no collateral bail bonds. These are called signature bonds. We find that most of our customers are eligible for a signature bond.
As part of the bail bond process, we will need you to answer many questions for the bail application. We look at many factors such as the length of time living in Delaware, employment situation, credit rating, character, type of crime, and other factors. These factors are considered for both the defendant and the indemnitor (person signing the bail bond). We do this so that we can determine risk and, hopefully, not require collateral.
If you're arranging a bond for a friend or family member, make sure you're aware of your bail bond indemnitor responsibility. By signing the bail agreement, you are obligating yourself to pay the entire amount of the bail bond if the defendant fails to appear in court and cannot be located.
WHEN IS BAIL BOND COLLATERAL RETURNED?
When the defendant's case has been completed and all financial obligations are satisfied, collateral is returned to the individual who pledged it. We realize that not everyone has a perfect background, but most of our customers find it easy to qualify for a signature bond. We also offer many payment options and our bail agents can help you arrange an affordable bail bond that meets all the requirements of Delaware law.

Richard Russell's Rule #1
By karen roach @ Shutterstock.com
Originally posted January 7th, 2016.
You need to have some will-power to stick to your guns in this stock market. No one said it was going to be easy. But to allow the magic of compound interest to work for you, you have to be patient. Here is one of the great lessons I love to read over and over again from the late Richard Russell. Mr. Russell passed away in November at the age of 91. He wrote daily to his beloved subscribers right to the bitter end. I miss reading his daily thoughts on the market and, even more so, on life in general. RIP Mr. Russell.
Rule 1: Compounding: One of the most important lessons for living in the modern world is that to survive you've got to have money. But to live (survive) happily, you must have love, health (mental and physical), freedom, intellectual stimulation — and money. When I taught my kids about money, the first thing I taught them was the use of the "money bible." What's the money bible? Simple, it's a volume of the compounding interest tables.
Compounding is the royal road to riches. Compounding is the safe road, the sure road, and fortunately, anybody can do it. To compound successfully you need the following:perseverance in order to keep you firmly on the savings path. You need intelligence in order to understand what you are doing and why. And you need a knowledge of the mathematics tables in order to comprehend the amazing rewards that will come to you if you faithfully follow the compounding road. And, of course, you need time, time to allow the power of compounding to work for you. Remember, compounding only works through time.
But there are two catches in the compounding process. The first is obvious — compounding may involve sacrifice (you can't spend it and still save it). Second, compoundingis boring — b-o-r-i-n-g. Or I should say it's boring until (after seven or eight years) the money starts to pour in. Then, believe me, compounding becomes very interesting. In fact, it becomes downright fascinating!
In order to emphasize the power of compounding, I am including this extraordinary study, courtesy of Market Logic, of Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33306. In this study we assume that investor (B) opens an IRA at age 19. For seven consecutive periods he puts $2,000 in his IRA at an average growth rate of 10% (7% interest plus growth). After seven years this fellow makes NO MORE contributions — he's finished.
A second investor (A) makes no contributions until age 26 (this is the age when investor B was finished with his contributions). Then A continues faithfully to contribute $2,000 every year until he's 65 (at the same theoretical 10% rate).
Now study the incredible results. B, who made his contributions earlier and who made only seven contributions, ends up with MORE money than A, who made 40 contributions but at a LATER TIME. The difference in the two is that B had seven more early years of compounding than A. Those seven early years were worth more than all of A's 33 additional contributions.
This is a study that I suggest you show to your kids. It's a study I've lived by, and I can tell you, "It works." You can work your compounding with muni-bonds, with a good money market fund, with T-bills or say with five-year T-notes.

HomePearl Fernandez: The Torture Story of a Mother Towards her Child
Pearl Fernandez: The Torture Story of a Mother Towards her Child
Pearl Fernandez's story of unspeakable torture of her 8-year-old son has become an infamous anecdote when it comes to the narration of first-degree murders. Gabriel Fernandez, 8 was fatally abused and tortured by Pearl and her boyfriend Isauro Aguirre. Let's get to know about this monstrous woman.
Who is Pearl Fernandez?
Pearl Sinthia Fernandez was born in 1983 to Robert and Sandra Fernandez. Her childhood was extremely turbulent as his father spent most of his time in jail. She got beaten as a child by her mother. At just 9, she started consuming methamphetamine and alcohol.
She is a school dropout and as a teenager, Pearl was raped by her uncle and a series of men who raped her for days. She was even hospitalized for having suicidal thoughts. However, it has been revealed by her relatives that she was controlling and abusive towards her boyfriends.
Pearl married Arnold Contreras and had four children with her including Gabriel. She abandoned him just after his birth. She portrayed herself as a victim of her boyfriends' abuse but her relatives revealed that it was Pearl who abused her partners and children.
Pearl's Mental Health
Pearl Fernandez was diagnosed with a series of mental health issues like personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, development disability, depressive disorder and much more.
Clinical psychologist Deborah S. Miora conducted a cognitive test in 2011 and revealed that Fernandez is "virtually unable to use thoughts to guide her behaviour and control her emotional reactions."
Pearl has pending charges of stabbing Arnold Contreras. She started abusing the opioid drugs Oxycodone and Norco just after Gabriel's death and had a history of criminal acts. During Gabriel's murder trial, her defence argued that she had a low IQ.
However, the judge correctly interpreted that "It has been established by her admission during her guilty plea that the murder was intentional and involved the infliction of torture for several months."
I believe that she should have never got custody of Gabriel even if for once, we believe that she suffered from such severe mental disorders. It comes as heart-breaking truth that authorities can follow such a lackadaisical approach when it comes to a child's safety. Such humans pose a serious threat to their own families and society at large.
Gabriel's heartbreaking Murder
The world can be a sad place. Gabriel Fernandez was barely 8 when he was brutally murdered by his mother and her boyfriend Isauro Aguirre. He was tortured by Pearl Fernandez for months which led to his death on May 24, 2013.
The sad part is that the red flags were all over the place but no one cared. Had the authorities taken prompt action, Gabriel would have still been breathing. Pearl was previously convicted of using a weapon against an inmate. There were complaints that she did not feed her daughter.
Despite this, she got back the custody of her son. She even forced her son for oral sex. And then, the social workers neglected complaints of her torture against Gabriel. The Sheriff's Department was aware of this abuse but did nothing.
Pearl Fernandez and Isauro Aguirre were both convicted of first-degree murder with special circumstances of torture. However, Aguirre was sentenced to death and Pearl pleaded guilty so she was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Pearl's acts of Torture
Gabriel Daniel Fernandez was born in the year 2005 in Palmdale, CA. During his eight-month stay with his mother, several neighbours reported signs of abuse to social workers but nothing was done in this regard. During the trial, four social workers from the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services were criminally charged.
Pearl surpassed all boundaries of what we call torture. It comes as a shock to mothers all over the world that someone could harm her child in such devious ways. It may be hard to read but the Los Angeles Superior court concluded that she regularly inflicted physical beatings on Gabriel that caused broken bones.
Not only this, Gabriel was forced to eat cat litter and faeces, his vomit, expired food, shot in places with a BB gun, burnt with cigarettes, pepper-sprayed, forced to wear women's clothing. My hands shake to further narrate that both Pearl and her boyfriend laughed as the little boy got tortured.
The Netflix documentary Trials of Gabriel Fernandez reveals these incidents at length and how Pearl got convicted along with her boyfriend. The documentary also narrates subsequent reactions of media and local government authorities after Gabriel's murder.
Netizen's Reactions
Netizens were happy to know that Pearl was having a tormented experience in prison. One person wrote on Twitter, "Pearl Fernandez is in my mom's prison where she works and she's been getting her a** beat." FYI, prison authorities rarely grant transfers to such prisoners but her death was just a rumour. She is alive.
Another person tweeted, "My cousin's co-worker worked at the jail Pearl Fernandez is at and said she got her ass whooped three times and had to be isolated." Check out these tweets:
#PearlFernandez clearly is eating well in jail?! Astonishing that she is eating and living better now in prison than her poor son #GabrielFernandez did. She should be made to eat cat litter and sleep in a cupboard like she made her son do 💔 https://t.co/sbPQ33ygk9

Pearl's conviction
Pearl Fernandez is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for first-degree murder with special circumstances of torture at Central California Women's Facility. She was sent to the facility on June 21, 2018.
There were rumours that several inmates tortured and killed her because of her gruesome acts against her child. However, the prison authorities did not release an official statement regarding the same. Well, let me tell you that she is very much alive and deserves the death penalty.
Pearl filed a petition in 2021 seeking a re-sentence. Thankfully, it got dismissed by the Los Angeles Superior Court Judge George G. Lomeli. The court order stated that she was not entitled to re-sentencing relief.
Pearl's partner Aguirre pleaded "not guilty" but the jury found him guilty and recommended a death sentence. He was sent to the San Quentin State Prison in 2018 and still awaits execution per the moratorium on capital punishment issued by the governor. He is currently serving his sentence in Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego.
Shockingly, Pearl released a statement before her conviction. She said, "I want to say I'm sorry to my family for what I did … I wish Gabriel was alive. Every day I wish that I made better choices." Well, everything falls short after what she did to her child.
Some people do not deserve chances. I wonder why she hasn't been given the death penalty. Accepting a crime does not reduce the gravity of it. Moreover, how does she manage to even breathe? What do you think about her conviction? Shoot your thoughts.

I hope the gals in jail see fit to beat this witch everyday she is breathing just like she did her own son!!! How in God's name can you do things like this is a mystery to me?? But I believe she should be tortured every day on earth and in the afterlife for what she has done!!! And for letting a scum boyfriend also do it makes my blood boil worse!!! I hope you rot in hell you psycho bitch and don't say that you're sorry for what you did, BECAUSE YOU DID IT AND YOU ENJOYED IT AND THAT MAKES YOU A MONSTER THAT DESERVES TO GET YOUR ASS BEAT EVERYDAY AND THEN SOME!! YOU COULD PICK ON A LITTLE BOY, BUT YOU CAN'T STAND UP TO A WOMAN?? I HATE YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!!
Lola December 12, 2022 At 2:54 am
Amen my thoughts Exactly…To be honest I cannot understand how, with what child abusers usually go through in jail are still alive. Dahmer murdered men a lot older and he's no longer breathing, these two pieces of slime Tortured and Murdered a CHILD and they are still here? To top it all off that ignorant ass of a governor has put aside the executions because he's nothing but a stupid little twit himself JC they PROVED that fat ass coward killed that little boy but he's still breathing, eating and probably has a jail house boyfriend he's messing with every night sinceche can't get to pos Pearl. I am so glad I don't live in California…it's full of idiots
Dear # Gabriel Hernandez, I believe you had a guardian angel with you the whole time who tried to protect you from the evil of your mother and boyfriend. You were wrapped up in the wing's of God so you didn't feel ALL that pain and your sweet, sweet smile shows just how special you were!!! The system failed you MANY times but you are with God now forever and always sweet baby 💙 I keep you in my prayers and wish I could have saved you! Rest in peace Gabriel Hernandez and what a fitting name you have, #GABRIEL.

This woman and her fkn boyfriend should be beat every day they both should be put to death not only the boyfriend her too fn birch makes me sick ass fk knowing there are dumbasses like them breathing
Liz April 8, 2022 At 7:59 am
Just finished watching the series.
They are both evil. She doesn't deserve to be called his mother. Yes she gave birth to Gabriel, but she was never his mother. A mother protects her children, she doesn't allow and help a boyfriend beat her child.

I'm a 36 year old former Marine I'm 6'2″ 250lbs. I deployed to Iraq 3 times. I've seen a lot of death. None of it ever broke me. This shit made me cry like a child. I want to fucking kill both of these animals! I want to kill everyone who failed Gabriel!. How could anyone do this or stand by and let it happen. I hope that everyone involved with this dies a horrific death and that God shows their souls the same mercy they had for this boy.

I may have not seen a lot of death but I do feel you there.

Shannon Schaefer May 21, 2022 At 1:56 am
This is an incredibly horrific story, it shakes you to your core, makes you cry, makes you want revenge on Pearl and Isaurro. They were grown adults who could/should have chosen a different path and made better choices. They are the scum of the earth, no doubt. BUT, they most likely were not born this evil. Were there preexisting components of evil in their psyches at birth? Were abnormalities already in place at birth? Were there genetic predispositions to behave so cruelly and calloused ? Possibly. What happens? Those predispositions to cruel and evil behavior can be activated by traumas. Or given a loving, warm, nurturing environment, they don't become activated and stay dormant, this doesn't happen, Gabriel lives. I understand the strong reaction is to hold Isaurro and Pearl as solely responsible, but are they really? I do not think you can be outraged at their utter depravity and not take into account what was documented as having been done to Pearl. Isaurro we do not know his history. But let me offer this to ponder; what if there were a documentary shown first of Pearl's story? She survives and then we see what she becomes later, how would you feel then? Still outraged, sad, angry, heartbroken for Gabriel for sure, but if he had survived, what would he have eventually become/turned out to be? Then would we say the same things about him as Pearl and Isaurro if he went on to beat his child? It is very seldom very black and white. Go back and pay close attention to the psychology discussed/broke down by the psychotherapist. Also he was in the beginning stages of becoming an aggressive/angry person because of what was being done to him. The teacher Jennifer Garcia recounted him kicking the wall, being angry at being told to pick up a pencil and such. His fellow classmates told of him beginning to be a little bit mean because of what was happening. So the transformation of sweet to mean and aggressive due to being helpless and no one stopping it and protecting him had begun.
Laura July 10, 2022 At 7:09 pm
Anger is a common way for children to display severe depression. Not EVERY kid who is beaten or who has a bad upbringing goes on to be offenders. He was so smart, he got reading awards, he made sweet Mother's Day cards for his Mom even while he was suffering from her abuse. I think what you are talking about is nature vs nuture. Little bit of both is always needed.
Mel July 20, 2022 At 5:38 pm
Hi Shannon…I can understand what you are saying… but.. am a child I was mentally and physically horrifically abused by both parents,I for some reason got the brunt of abuse,I tried to take my life numerous times by the time I was 11 yet no one cared..so I ran away to the police and what do you think they did? Called my parents and all the police did was "scold" me for wasting police time.. eventually when 18 I got married to the first man I met to escape the abuse but unfortunately got abused by him aswell.
I am now a mother to a beautiful young lady who is confident and self assured..and because of what I endured changed the cycle of abuse … now I suffer from PTSD ..generalised anxiety disorder.. depression and alcoholism…I can understand that many many guardians parents etc cannot get passed the abuse..but it's noooo excuse to carry it on…this poor child suffered by this evil woman and her partner makes my blood boil and hope they suffer in jail for the rest of their pathetic lives.
Carolina November 28, 2022 At 5:12 am
Possibly a factor but then if she was intellectually deficient, she should not be allowed to breed. She wasn't intellectually bright enough to function then she couldn't have possibly been intellectually bright enough to raise children.
TRowe September 16, 2022 At 7:01 pm
Beautiful Gabriel,
The angel of The Lord Jesus was always with you. You were bought back to life many times after you first died only to die again. God was taking you home little darling, he was never going to let you come back to suffer anymore than you had. Praise the Merciful loving Saviour of mankind who spared you from such horror and evil hurting you again. You were so strong and full of love and God heard the cry off your heart when no flesh would hear you and help you. By you being as strong as you were and enduring those demons who hated you, you made a real change for humanity and you now rest in the arms of Jesus and his angels and have an amazing place in heaven. Although you were pure love and would never want your Mum to suffer, you surely reap what you sow, this is Gods Devine law for man and she will surely get the consequences she deserves. All too often we see this weak society of mankind preying upon the helpless and innocent, in demonic sickening ways. We must pray and have love and be selfless no matter our jobs or how much we want to pretend this is a wonderful world… God have mercy on the children of the world and reign your wrath on those who will die in their sins.

Lil Tjay Arrested In The Bronx, Busted For Having Loaded Gun In Car


There was an infectious community feel in the air as a popular weekly market celebrated 40 years of trading.
Today's edition of Beccles Country Market - held every Friday morning at Quaker Hall - marked four decades since the very first gathering in 1978.
The market offers an extensive selection of the very best in local produce, handicraft and horticulture, while it has also become a welcoming place for friends to socialise on a regular basis.
Newly-appointed Beccles mayor Elfrede Brambley-Crawshaw was in attendance at this morning's market to celebrate the momentous occasion.
Mandy Smith, who has been involved for the past three years and is the current market manager, expressed delight at the market having reached the impressive milestone.
"It's been a really lovely day," said Ms Smith. "Some of our traders have been here since the very start, when the event originally began as a Women's Institute market.
"Unlike regular markets, all the producers are mixed and we don't have our own separate tables. There's a real community feel.
One of those to have been trading at the market since its inception is 71-year-old Jill Pulford, for whom the market has been a staple part of her life.
"This market really is all about the camaraderie," she said. "Even when a week comes around where there's not quite so much to sell, it's still all about the social aspect.
"Over the years you get to know everyone who takes part, although sadly we've lost people along the way as well.
