Lakefront park attracts culturally diverse visitors from throughout region

This News protects
This News involves
New York, NY — October 25, 2013 — Less than an hour north of New York City, Harriman State Park's Lake Welch offers a welcoming escape for a culturally diverse patron base. Easily accessible in northern Rockland County, Lake Welch has inspired a loyal following due to its proximity to the city, natural offerings and welcoming atmosphere.
A visitor demographic study released by the Open Space Institute's Alliance for New York State Parks finds the park to be a celebration of diversity with strong ties to New York City. Lake Welch is described as a family oriented, friendly destination, welcoming up to 400,000 people a year.
"This study confirms that state parks are relevant and needed by people from across many geographic and ethnic constituencies," said Erik Kulleseid, executive director of the Alliance. "Lake Welch, with its swimming beach, picnic areas and tremendous natural beauty, clearly fills a need for families to relax, have fun and get away from city-life."
"The core of State Parks' mission is connecting urban residents to the outdoors; to active, healthy lifestyles; to our natural and cultural treasures," said Rose Harvey, commissioner of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. "As the report shows, Lake Welch succeeds as a welcoming haven for the culturally diverse residents of the New York City area."
The study, based on a survey and interviews conducted last summer by the Public Spaces Research Group at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, finds that more than 54 percent of visitors to Lake Welch live in New York City, with the Bronx (21.7 percent) and Manhattan (15.9 percent) leading the five boroughs. The park is also popular with New Jersey residents, with nearly 20 percent of its visitors traveling from the Garden State.
Another key finding of the study is the appeal of Lake Welch to Hispanic families. Nearly three-quarters (74 percent) of Lake Welch visitors are Hispanic.
In addition to identifying demographic information of park-goers, the report captures individual visitor feelings and attitudes toward Lake Welch. Interviews with patrons reveal meaningful connections that visitors have with the park. Of great value to park goers overall are its welcoming and laid-back atmosphere and its appeal to families.
"It's wonderful to be able to document how visitors connect with this park, as well as their fellow park goers," said Kulleseid. "With this study we are able to better understand and appreciate Lake Welch, not only as a recreational and natural resource, but as a valuable social resource, as well. The combined findings of this research underscore the need to continue public investment in state parks, particularly Lake Welch."
Kulleseid explained that, like so many New York State Parks, Harriman State Park is in need of significant repairs and upgrades. According to the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, state parks face a capital backlog totaling approximately $1 billion. Harriman State Park, alone, requires more than $45 million in work, including $1.2 million for Lake Welch.
"Thankfully, over the past two years, through a renewed commitment by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the state legislature, more than $180 million has been allocate for state park improvements, of which $8.2 million is designated for Harriman," said Kulleseid." "Continued investment in Lake Welch would ensure that this inviting state park can continue to offer high quality, affordable, family friendly recreation for its loyal visitors."

Synopsis
Au , dans un état indéterminé d'Europe du Sud, un riche aristocrate, le comte Mathias Sandorf, entre en rébellion contre son gouvernement despotique.

Il prend néanmoins la défense du peuple opprimé, puis est arrêté et condamné à mort. Parvenu à s'évader, il doit secourir sa fille enlevée par un sinistre comploteur. Après avoir réussi à la délivrer, il devient le chef du soulèvement général. Il est de nouveau capturé et, sur le point d'être fusillé, est libéré par le peuple qu'il conduit à la victoire.

It's a few hours yet until Derby County's line-up to face Millwall is revealed - but Rams fans have already picked their team for the Championship clash.
Derby return to league action on Wednesday night with a clash against the Lions at Pride Park (7:45pm), following their FA Cup defeat at Premier League Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
And they will be aiming to move back into the play-offs with victory, being just two points outside the top six in seventh place going into the match.
Supporters have made it clear the team they think can claim a vital three points, using our custom-designed widget to pick their Derby line-up.
With on-loan Mason Mount sidelined as he recovers from a hamstring injury, the fans want to see Harry Wilson and Andy King, who are also on loan at Pride Park, to play alongside Tom Huddlestone in midfield.
They are also eager to see Ashley Cole make his full league debut for the club at left-back - and, in attack, they think Lampard should go with the trio of Jack Marriott, Martyn Waghorn and Tom Lawrence.
What do you think to this line-up? There's still time for you to pick your starting XI.

Call for action following another Corus death
1st September 2010 Jawad	Leave a comment
"Following yet another worker death on a Corus site we ask again – When will senior directors of companies such as Corus be held personally accountable for their serial killing and injuring workers?"
Following the news of another death at Corus, Scunthorpe on Saturday, which itself follows the death there in April of 26 year old Thomas Standerline – The Hazards Campaign again asks: "When will senior directors of companies such as Corus be held personally accountable for their serial killing and injuring workers? We also want to know what plans Lord Young and David Cameron will announce to stop this ever happening again in their forthcoming review of health and safety?"
The Hazards Campaign says given the history of repeated criminality of the company (see below) and the deadly nature of their crimes – why hasn't any senior director been called to account in the courts for causing all this death, disability and injury?
Corus's abysmal health and safety record is illustrated by the 16 separate entries in the Health and Safety Executive's (HSE's) prosecutions database which relate to death and injury, AND……… the 24 separate entries in the HSE's notices database, including many stop work notices, since 2001. These incidents include the Port Talbot furnace explosion where Stephen Galsworthy, 25, Andrew Hutin, 20, and Len Radford, 53 were all killed in 2001.
The Hazards Campaign calls upon the government and other parties to explain where they stand on this issue of the failure of the existing legal system to change the behaviour of a company, what they will do about it and why those individuals who ran this deadly company at the time have not been personally called to answer in court.
The Hazards Campaign believes the evidence shows that directors of companies with a similar record will get away with it too, unless a positive legal duty to be responsible for the health and safety of their organisation is imposed on all directors.
Corus has faced several 'large fines' for killing and injuring workers. While the fine of £1.3 million, plus £1.7 million costs imposed on Corus in December 2006 for the killing of three workers in the Port Talbot furnace explosion, was heralded as exemplary, may seem large, it has not stopped them from committing more offences and injuring and killing more workers. It should also be noted that after that large fine Corus took delivery of a new £75 million blast furnace courtesy of their insurance. Fines may look large but are a drop in the ocean of the company's turnover and profits and act as no real deterrent as Corus has shown. Again and again.
The Hazards Campaign says company directors and employers will not give due regard to preventing workplace death, disability, injury and ill-health until they are held personally liable.

Illegal Referenda In Ukraine
People wait in line at a polling station in the center of Slovyansk, eastern Ukraine, May 11, 2014.
A series of illegal referenda took place in Eastern Ukraine over the weekend. They were conducted by armed separatist groups and were an attempt to create further division and disorder.
A series of illegal referenda took place in Eastern Ukraine over the weekend. They were conducted by armed separatist groups and were an attempt to create further division and disorder. These referenda are a clear violation of international law and the territorial integrity of Ukraine. The United States does not recognize the results of these referenda.
Moreover, the U.S. is disappointed that the Russian government did nothing to forestall these referenda since President Vladimir Putin's suggestion on May 7 that they be postponed. Indeed, on the day of the vote, Russian-backed social media and news stations encouraged residents of eastern Ukraine to vote, one even offered instructions for polling stations in Moscow. Russian state media also strongly backed the referenda with no mention of Putin's call for postponement.
In addition, President Putin falsely claimed that Russian forces were pulling back from the Ukrainian border. To date, there is no movement of the Russian military away from the border.
The focus of the international community is now on supporting the Ukrainian government's efforts to hold a presidential election on May 25. International observers note that preparations for these elections are proceeding apace and in accordance with international standards, which will allow all Ukrainian people a voice in the future of their country.
According to a recent independent poll, a substantial majority of Ukrainians intend to vote on May 25. Any efforts to disrupt this democratic process will be seen as attempts to deny the rights of Ukraine's citizens to express their political will freely.
As President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel stated on May 2nd, the Russian leadership must know that if it continues to destabilize eastern Ukraine and disrupt this month's presidential election, additional sanctions will be imposed on Russia.
The United States urges the Russian government to implement its Geneva commitments to de-escalate the situation in Ukraine while there is still time.

Home » Mets 2012 Games » Mets Game 160: Loss to Marlins
So much for sweeping the Marlins in the final series of the season.
Mets Game Notes
Jeurys Familia's first MLB start was … hmm … neutral? exiguous? indiffrent? inauspicious? Not sure how to describe it. He threw 75 pitches in four innings, which is a few too many but not Jenrry Mejia-bad. He allowed only one hit, which is good, but he walked six, which is bad. Only 33 of those 75 pitches were strikes (44%), and that's bad. But, he didn't allow a run, so that's good — I guess?
Of course, we have to take into consideration the fact that Familia hasn't made a start since August 30, and he's only 22 years old. With that mind, he was, well, OK. Not great, just, eh. The velocity was there — he was humming at 96 MPH consistently — but, like Mejia, he has no command. Unlike Mejia, his mechanics are a bit more efficient to the plate. His flaw comes after release, as he usually does not incorporate the larger muscles of the body in deceleration; the brakes are put on mostly by the arm. Unfortunately, deceleration strain is just as dangerous and harmful as strain during the period before and at release. I'd like to see Familia let go of the ball a little further out in front of his face, and I'd like to see his upper body bend over more at and after release, and see his legs take more of the brunt of slowing down the arm.
Familia was saved in the second by two caught stealings, thanks to excellent throws by Kelly Shoppach. I think the first stolen base attempt — by Bryan Peterson — could have gone either way, and it was ruled an out. Familia's line might've been worse had it not been for those assists.
The Mets had 11 hits, but only two runs. They were 5-for-15 with RISP — which is pretty good — but they left a dozen men on base, which isn't so great. How do you get five hits with RISP and score only two runs? Ask the Mets.
We've seen Wade LeBlanc pitch a few times this year, and seeing him succeed makes me wonder why Pat Misch doesn't have a job somewhere in MLB.
Jason Bay had two hits and missed out on a RBI when Ike Davis was thrown out at home. However, Bay is still hitting .165. I think that even if Bay finishes the year 10-for-10, he'll still finish at .165.

The new era of Met baseball, boring during the season and boring in the off-season. This era will be known as the Sandy Alderson fiasco.
DaveSchneck October 2, 2012 at 5:12 pm
I suspect this will be a very interesting offseason for the Mets. It may well turn out unsatisfactory and very disappointing, but I don't think it will be dull. Even the monotone and measured Mr. Aldserson realizes something needs to be done, something not "incremental" to steal description.
Joe October 2, 2012 at 12:31 pm

The 2 caught stealings were in the first.

Home-invasion robbery reported in San Gabriel
Posted on July 21, 2017 by Brian Day
SAN GABRIEL >> Police are investigating a reported home-invasion robbery in which a resident was tied up in San Gabriel early Friday morning.
The crime was reported about 1:30 p.m. at a home in the 1900 block of South Denton Avenue, according to San Gabriel police Sgt. Rebecca Gomez.
A resident of the home, a man in his 30s, and a Monterey Park woman in her 40s who was visiting were inside the home when the woman's boyfriend, a Paramount man in his 30s, arrived to pick her up, she said.
Two male attacker followed the boyfriend as he approached the house, Lt. Brian Kott said in a written statement.
"The two males allegedly forced their way through the front door and bound one of the three victims," Kott said.
Gomez said the male resident was tied up in his home, but not the other two victims.
"The suspects subsequently fled the location with miscellaneous stolen property," Kott said. "However, the circumstances have not been confirmed and are still under investigation."
No injuries were reported, police said.
No further description of the robbers was available.
Anyone with information can reach San Gabriel police at 626-208-2828. Tips may also be submitted anonymously to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.

The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute released a study of hand-held cellphone distractions and the findings are clear: Making a phone call on the road with a hand-held device triples the odds of a car crash.
The Virginia Tech study focused on how cellphones cause distracted driving and measured the risk of performing different tasks on personal electronic devices while driving, such as reaching for a phone, dialing, texting, or looking up directions.
Rather than relying on survey results, researchers installed cameras in cars and studied drivers behind the wheel doing different tasks on smartphones.
Texting, web browsing, and emailing took drivers' attention off the road for the longest amount of time compared with other cellphone activities.
Texting and driving or emailing and driving doubled the risk of an auto wreck or near crash.
Hands-free mobile technology isn't really hands-free. Apps and devices that supposedly prevent drivers from using hand-held electronics require drivers to perform a visual-manual task 50% of the time.
Talking on a hand-held cellphone does not necessarily increase car collision risk, but actions such finding the phone, dialing a number, or searching cellphone contacts are very risky and cause driver distraction.
In addition to discovering that making calls behind the wheel triples the risk of getting in a car crash, the study found that texting or emailing takes the driver's eyes off the road for an average of 23 seconds—more than previously thought. In recent years, AT&T and public safety organizations estimated that texting takes a driver's eyes from the road ahead for only five seconds, not 23.
To put the Virginia Tech figure in perspective: A car moving at 60 mph can travel almost 2,000 feet in the time it takes to compose a text message or write an email.
People who are injured in car crashes caused by distracted drivers should understand their legal options.


The Umbelliferous plot, which exists in the form of a digitally animated film and a text by the artist, initially published in the Nancy catalog in 1998 is a project to plant giant umbels to create a wild garden, "offering a dramatic shift in scale'' and thrusting the visitor into an Alice in-wonderland like landscape.
The Umbelliferous plot is exclusively planted with giant Hogweeds. The surface of the land is perfectly flat, even though it ls covered by foliage in its horizontal density, which testifies to this flatness for the visitor standing up to the knees in this thick green carpet. The parc is large and dense enough that visitors can loose site of all visible bearings, beyond the hogweeds. However, it possible to keep one's distance from the plants if one wishes, by staying on the alleys cutting through the park. They are necessary because one must not touch the umbels. When in bloom, simple contact of the skin or rubbing the leaves or stems causes visible skin painful and persistent eruptions. A light but fully covering suit, with a hood, and gloves are advised when visiting the Umbelliferous plot. .

We'll Do It Live: Patrick Allaby on Performing Comics
Patrick Allaby
ben katchor, brain frame, conundrum, the water lover, windsor mccay
In May, Conundrum Press published my second graphic novel, The Water Lover. The Water Lover is an adaptation of a hand-drawn slideshow I have been performing since 2017. Hand-drawn slideshow is a term I use to describe the comic readings I do. I use this term because these works are made for the performance, not for the page. They are comics intended to be seen live, and, as such, they are developed in a way that plays to the strengths of what a slideshow can do versus what the page can do.
I started doing hand-drawn slideshows in 2016 to reach a broader audience. I live on Canada's east coast in a town of 5,000, nowhere near any active comic communities. But there are a lot of artist-run centres, independent music festivals, and fringe festivals near me. My plan to get by as a cartoonist was to make work that fit in these spaces. The contemporary art community is a particularly good place to make work for, as there is a nationally recognized fee schedule that establishes the minimum amount it is acceptable to pay an artist for any given activity. For performances, this can be as much as $400.
The approach I take to making slideshows was developed when I was figuring out how to make my first show. While working on it, I saw a reading by a cartoonist online, and he did this thing where he stopped to describe every panel as he read, even if it was totally inconsequential to the story. This constantly interrupted the flow of the story. So, the general approach I have taken with slideshows is to acknowledge the projected drawings as little as possible. I write stories for performance to be totally understandable through the words spoken in performance, and I use drawings to interact with those words, illustrating them, providing unsaid information, and occasionally contradicting them.
This approach is one that's worked for me. I've found it deeply satisfying to make comics for the stage. Having to be physically in front of my audience has helped me develop my voice in a very different way than writing comics for Instagram has. It's also allowed me to bring elements to my work that I couldn't on a page. I've often incorporated theatrical elements and sought to blur the line between comics and animation. The sea of possibilities that this opens up on stage is really exciting to me, and, as a result, performing comics has become a significant part of my artistic practice.
It's my impression comic performances are generally made by others as an afterthought, usually to promote a book, and there are only a few instances I can think of that buck that trend (comic performances are incredibly hard to document, so it's possible I'm completely wrong about this). The main performance-first comics I'm aware of are ones that premiered at Lyra Hill's Brain Frame (2014-2017), Ben Katchor's musical theatre collaborations with Mark Mulcahy, and Winsor McCay's early forays into the form in the early 20th century.
The performances at Brain Frame are well documented on Hill's Vimeo account. What's incredible about these performances is there is such a wide breadth of approaches taken by contributors, and they take comics deep into the interdisciplinary. There are musical elements, experimental sound, video, animation, actors, and costumes. Some performances barely seem to have anything to do with comics, but they could easily serve as the template for the next 50 years of comic performances. The performance I come back to most often is Jessica Campbell's 2016 one. It's nowhere near the most experimental work done at Brain Frame, or even Campbell's most experimental (in 2014, Campbell, along with Aaron Renier staged a 20-minute play, with animal hats and projected backgrounds), but, at times, it includes rudimentary animations, where drawings are projected one after another, suggesting a sense of movement, which deeply influenced my own approach at an early stage. Every slideshow I've made has incorporated this technique.
Katchor's musical theatre works, which consist of stories sung in front of projected drawings, have also served as an inspiration, but only in a spiritual sense. There is little documentation of them online. But still, what is available is fascinating. There's a 2012 clip of Up from the Stacks, where characters run through panels, accompanied by frantic music played live under the projection. It's like a silent film screening with a punk band providing the score. The animation in Up from the Stacks is a little more complex than in Campbell's performance, characters move across an unchanging background in a way that seems to imply the presence of a layered image, and which blurs the line between comics and animation.
That line has been one of the areas I've been the most interested in exploring in my own slideshows. In the second part of The Water Lover, I included a 350-drawing sequence, which, thanks to the PowerPoint automatic slide advance function, turns into a choppy minute-long animation. This sequence, which depicts the hands of a call center worker drawing themselves on a small whiteboard they have on their desk, was inspired by Winsor McCay's animation work. McCay, who is both a pioneer of comics and animation, also pioneered that ambiguous space in-between these two forms. His iconic 1914 animation Gertie the Dinosaur originally began as a performance work that was included in vaudeville shows, in which McCay would talk to an animation of a dinosaur, which would appear to respond to him. McCay claimed that each frame was entirely hand-drawn, and, while watching Gertie, you can see the background and character design subtly shift over the course of the animation. I leaned into the shifts from drawing to drawing in my animation in a way that gives life to the very lines of the drawing. It appears towards the end of my show, after many shorter animations, and for the minute or so it's playing, I always sense a sort of wonder from the audience, as if they never realized the line between drawing and animation was so thin.
The last thing that has kept me coming back to comic performances is, like animation, something that isn't easily explored on the page. That thing is variation. I love the fluidity that live performance can contain. Sometimes, I will stumble into a joke or a new wording on the spot that completely changes the performance. Sometimes I'll just mess up. But, by embracing this fluidity, the meaning of a work shifts and evolves over time. I have changed wording or added new drawings in nearly every performance of The Water Lover, redrawing it in its entirety in 2018. Through this process, The Water Lover has grown and evolved with me in a deeply exciting way it never could have on the page, allowing me to stay creatively engaged with it after all these years. The printed version of The Water Lover represented the most current version of the performance, but since then I've continued to perform and change it. The page can't contain it.

I was a single girl buying a home by myself which made my parents a little worried that someone might take advantage of me, especially since everyone is your "friend" until they make a sale. I have to say the thought never crossed my mind, but Andrew put my parents concerns quickly aside with his very professional and friendly ways. As a first time home buyer I of course had a lot of questions, and Andrew was always available to answer any of them for me, or my parents questions for that matter ;) Everything was well taken care of and I felt throughout the whole process that MY needs were the most important thing. Most importantly Andrew made sure that the process went as stress-free as possible! I would, and already have recommended Andrew to anyone looking to buy or sell, and will definitely be working with him again in the future!

I love to find crooked cucumbers, bananas with lots of black dots, day-old croissants, or end-piece Baumkuchen cake piled in a plastic bag. I like a bargain of course but the attraction for me is that they are not available all the time and I can only get those by chance.
Now I have this online soap shop and from time to time I produce not-so-perfect soap. They go into a "soap give away" box. Those soaps are used at home and given away to family and friends. As we produce lots of soaps these days (and some more mistakes made) 1 box has now expanded to 4 boxes. It's impossible to use them all.
Probably almost all of these imperfect soap bars are only there because of some cosmetic issues. For example, when I was making Starry Night shampoo bar, the mixture started to become too thick in the mixing pot and air bubbles couldn't escape after poured in the molds. Or soap mixture got even thicker in the mixing pot so I have decided to stick my hand in, scoop up and rolled in my hands to form balls. Now you get the chance to get those odd pieces at our "factory Outlet".
All products are tested and confirmed safe to use. Actually, the quality of soaps and shampoo bars are the same as our regular products. We also added some discontinued soap bars at a greatly discounted price.
If you don't mind imperfect products and if you like to discover that odd stuff in the sale bin like me, go check out our new outlet page.


Hildegard of Bingen has been called by her admirers "one of the most important figures in the history of the Middle Ages," and "the greatest woman of her time." Her time was the 1100's (she was born in 1098), the century of Eleanor of Aquitaine, of Peter Abelard and Bernard of Clairvaux, of the rise of the great universities and the building of Chartres cathedral. She was the daughter of a knight, and when she was eight years old she went to the Benedictine monastery at Mount St Disibode to be educated. The monastery was in the Celtic tradition, and housed both men and women (in separate quarters). When Hildegard was eighteen, she became a nun. Twenty years later, she was made the head of the female community at the monastery. Within the next four years, she had a series of visions, and devoted the ten years from 1140 to 1150 to writing them down, describing them (this included drawing pictures of what she had seen), and commenting on their interpretation and significance. During this period, Pope Eugenius III sent a commission to inquire into her work. The commission found her teaching orthodox and her insights authentic, and reported so to the Pope, who sent her a letter of approval. (He was probably encouraged to do so by his friend and former teacher, Bernard of Clairvaux.) She wrote back urging the Pope to work harder for reform of the Church.
Hildegard travelled throughout southern Germany and into Switzerland and as far as Paris, preaching. Her sermons deeply moved the hearers, and she was asked to provide written copies. In the last year of her life, she was briefly in trouble because she provided Christian burial for a young man who had been excommunicated. Her defense was that he had repented on his deathbed, and received the sacraments. Her convent was subjected to an interdict, but she protested eloquently, and the interdict was revoked. She died on 17 September 1179. Her surviving works include more than a hundred letters to emperors and popes, bishops, nuns, and nobility. (Many persons of all classes wrote to her, asking for advice, and one biographer calls her "the Dear Abby of the twelfth century.") She wrote 72 songs including a play set to music. Musical notation had only shortly before developed to the point where her music was recorded in a way that we can read today. Accordingly, some of her work is now available on compact disk, and presumably sounds the way she intended. My former room-mate, a non-Christian and a professional musician, is an enthusiastic admirer of her work and considers her a musical genius. Certainly her compositional style is like nothing else we have from the twelfth century. The play set to music is called the Ordo Virtutum and show us a human soul who listens to the Virtues, turns aside to follow the Devil, and finally returns to the Virtues, having found that following the Devil does not make one happy.
But her major works are three books on theology: Scivias ("Know the paths!"), Liber Vitae Meritorum (on ethics), and De Operatione Dei. They deal (or at least the first and third do) with the material of her visions. The visions, as she describes them, are often enigmatic but deeply moving, and many who have studied them believe that they have learned something from the visions that is not easily put into words. On the other hand, we have the recent best-seller, The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat, by Oliver Sacks, Professor of Clinical Neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and author of Migraine and various other books. Professor Sacks is concerned with the relation of the brain to the mind, and ways in which the phsical state of the nervous system can affect our ways of perceiving reality. He views the pictures in Hildegard's books of what she saw in her visions, and says, "The style of the pictures is a clear indication that the seer suffered regularly from migraine attacks. Migraine sufferers tend to see things in this manner." And indeed, it is true that Hildegard suffered throughout her life from painful attacks of what may have been migraine. Professor Sacks hastens to add that this has nothing to do with whether her visions are authentic insights into the nature of God and His relation to the Universe.
Although she would have rejected much of the rhetoric of women's liberation, she never hesitated to say what she thought needed to be said, or to do what she thought needed to be done, simply because she was a woman. When Pope or Emperor needed a rebuke, she rebuked them.
Her use of parable and metaphor, of symbols, visual imagery, and non-verbal means to communicate makes her work reach out to many who are totally deaf to more standard approaches. In particular, non-Western peoples are often accustomed to expressing their views of the world in visionary language, and find that Hildegard's use of similar language to express a Christian view of reality produces instant rapport, if not necessarily instant agreement.
Hildegard wrote explicitly about the natural world as God's creation, charged through and through with His beauty and His energy; entrusted to our care, to be used by us for our benefit, but not to be mangled or destroyed.

Foodbank's £10k grant will help thousands of families in need
Newcastle Staffs Foodbank has received the money from the Coalfields Regeneration Trust
Kathie McInnes
Thousands of families in crisis will continue to have access to support after a district foodbank received a £10,000 grant.
Newcastle Staffs Foodbank has seen soaring numbers of people needing help following the coronavirus pandemic, which has led to job losses and rising benefit claims.
After launching a crowd-funding appeal earlier this year, organisers managed to raise almost £5,400 to go towards the emergency food parcels.
Now the new grant from the Coalfields Regeneration Trust will cover the next 12 months of rent on warehouse premises and fund a project lead for the service.
Fundraising coordinator Ann King said: "The reality is that we operate in an area which has a high number of people who are at risk of going hungry. Agencies hold food vouchers and allocate them to those identified as needing support.

Fancy chomping down into this bright green burger? This is where you can get one in Stoke-on-Trent
"The individuals who use our services are suffering from a range of life challenges, whether it's redundancy or unemployment, ill health or even homelessness.
"Without the emergency food we offer, these vulnerable people could go for days, if not longer, without a meal.
"This new funding from the Coalfields Regeneration Trust will enable us to continue helping these individuals to address and understand their current situation while also finding solutions. We are a lifeline to these communities, and we must continue our work."
Each year, the foodbank helps around 5,000 families across Newcastle borough.
It operates six centres where clients can exchange a voucher for three days' worth of nutritious food and hygiene supplies.
Locations include St Luke's Church, in Clayton, All Saints' Church, in Madeley, The Bethel Centre, in Silverdale, Elim Pentecostal Church, in Chesterton, Newcastle Congregational Church, and St Thomas' Church, in Kidsgrove. People can also take them to the warehouse based at Parkhouse industrial estate.
Steve Abson, development management for the Coalfields Regeneration Trust, said: "We realise just how important foodbanks are to local residents and, more importantly, the devastating impact that will follow if their services were no longer available.
"Improving the overall health and well-being of people living in coalfields sits at the heart of what we do."
The trust will also be offering practical support to the foodbank, such as help with third-party funding applications and bid-writing, marketing tips and access to resources.

Q: Persistent TCP connection on android port number choice? If you were to implement a persistent tcp connection on android what port number would you choose?
This is the sort of connection used by Google's C2DM service.

A: Use any port really. It probably doesn't really matter so long as it's above 1024. Let's say you choose port 5000.
I'd recommend using a second ip address and forward all traffic on ip2:80 to ip1:5000. That way you can get around any firewall restrictions on your network.
If you want more details about adding a second ip address and adding a NAT to your iptables to forward traffic from port 80 on ip2 to port 5000 on ip1, I can share my notes with you.

A: How about 1764? (42*42). Or possibly 3141?

A: Technically it really doesn't matter what port you choose. You just can't use a port that is needed for another service if you also want to run this service. So if you want to run it on a mail server, port 25 is a bad choice.
But since there are sometimes firewalls in place that may filter traffic, I'd recommend port 443 (https) where you have a slightly higher chance of getting your traffic through.

United Nations Special Rapporteur Agnes Callamard took to Twitter to criticize the bill in the House of Representatives seeking to lower the age of criminal responsibility to nine years old.
Callamard on Monday called the proposal "shameful" and "potentially deadly" after the House justice committee approved the measure for the consideration of the plenary.
The bill seeks to amend Republic Act 9344 or the Juvenile Justice Law, which sets the minimum age of criminal liability at 15 years old. A counterpart measure in the Senate aims to set the age of criminal responsibility at 13.

4 Reasons Why Many Christians Don't Go to Church
Over the past several years, much has been made about the decline of church attendance in the United States, even among those who self-identify as Christian.
"It's no longer obvious to many people why church should play a significant role in their lives," said Andrew Arndt, a teaching pastor at the Colorado Springs, Colorado-based New Life Church, in a recent "Essential Church" podcast episode.
Joining Arndt in the discussion on "why church?" were Daniel Grothe and Glenn Packiam, both of whom serve as associate senior pastors at New Life Church.
Among other things, the trio of pastors discussed reasons why many Christians in the United States seldom attend worship. Here, in no particular order, are four reasons covered by their conversation.
Packiam noted that the consumerism of modern American Christianity may be impacting church attendance, as many Christians struggle with the many options for worship that are out there.
Those who don't attend have cited such reasons as not having found a church they like or sermons they agree with.
"It didn't used to be like that," he explained. "It was 'this is the neighborhood and we're Lutherans, and there's the Lutheran church and we're going.'"
"Maybe, in some ways, the multitude of options has played into that American consumeristic notion that 'you're the one in charge. The consumer is king.' And so now we've got options and one of those options is not going."
Arndt noted, "I think of all the U.S. churches that I have been to over the years where, you know, the closing words spoken at the service are not the great words of blessing that we get in the Scriptures, but it will be something like 'thank you for choosing to worship with us this weekend,' which is a little like 'thank you for flying Southwest.' Something is lost in that."
Grothe argued that another factor was "the loss of community" in the United States, a phenomenon documented in notable works like the book Bowling Alone.
"In America, we have spread out as a nation in a way that is unprecedented in time," said Grothe, who contrasted American individualism with non-Western cultures.
"You go to Asia and you still got three generations living in the same house. And here we are in our own houses, we have broken our lives apart. We are living apart from family," explained Packiam.
"We have change in economy which has changed the migration of people all around the globe. And so we find ourselves in new places and we don't have these root systems of relationships that sustain us."
Arndt noted that the church's role in the community has also been reduced to only serve as a spiritual place, whereas before it held "so many community concerns together."

Bryant Announces Petition Drive to Stop Per-Mile Tax On Drivers
CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO SIGN THE ONLINE PETITION!
Springfield….Multiple news reports this week reported that Illinois Senate President John Cullteron of Chicago has floated an idea to tax Illinois drivers for every mile that they drive. State Rep. Terri Bryant (R – Murphysboro), who represents a large, mostly rural district in southern Illinois announced today that she is heading up a petition drive to stop the planned tax increase on drivers.
"The idea that Illinois motorists would be forced to record every mile they drive to the government, or pay a flat fee to use the roads that they are already paying to maintain through the motor fuel tax is appalling to me," Bryant said. "This is one of those, 'where does it ever end', type proposals that only a Chicago Democrat could dream up."
Bryant has decided to take the fight against the per-mile tax plan beyond just statements. She is spearheading an effort to collect signatures from her constituents that oppose SB 3279.
"The Chicago Democrats are after every last dollar they can get to expand the size of government," Bryant said. "We have to be vigilant to stop these intrusive actions that cost us money and sacrifice our freedom to travel our beautiful State, and to travel back and forth to work."
Many people in Southern Illinois drive hundreds of miles per week just commuting back and forth to work. Bryant says her petition can be found on her website at www.repbryant.com.
"Go to my website, and sign this petition to reject the per-mile tax," Bryant urged. "Let's send a message to the Chicago tax and spenders that we won't allow them to put trackers on our car and pay even more money into a broken system."

Big Ben: Marcus Peters a 'phenomenal talent'
Published: Sept. 28, 2016 at 10:29 p.m.
Updated: Sept. 29, 2016 at 04:26 p.m.
Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters is on the Pittsburgh Steelers' radar after capturing AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors on Wednesday.
The league's most dangerous cover man, Peters intercepted a pair of passes for the second consecutive week while batting down six more throws over that span.
"He catches every ball that is thrown his way," Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger raved Wednesday, via the Kansas City Star. "What a phenomenal player.
"Offensive guys always make fun of defensive players -- they play defense because they can't catch. Well, he can catch everything. It hits him in the hands, he catches it. It bounces in the air, he catches it. What a tremendous talent."
Roethlisberger and coach Mike Tomlin each attributed Peters' success to his ball awareness and uncanny instincts for reading and jumping routes.
"He's a calculated risk-taker, the type of calculated risk-taker that's required to be great at that position," Tomlin explained. "... He's checking off all the boxes, and really, he needs no endorsement from me -- his numbers speak for themselves. I think he's got 12 interceptions in 19 games. That's incredible."
Despite the gaudy numbers, there's a perception that Peters surrenders too many big plays -- a perception colored in large part by the seven touchdowns allowed in the first half of his rookie season.
Since Week 10 of last season, however, Peters has been not just a premier playmaker but also a shutdown corner, ranking in the top-five in lowest completion percentage and passer rating on throws in his coverage.
If Peters is so hard to beat, why is he still targeted so heavily? Why aren't quarterbacks avoiding his side of the field?
"It's easier said than done," Roethlisberger said. "If you have guy that just eliminates a side of the field as an offense, you're kind of stuck. So you have to just pick and choose your battles."
Roethlisberger added that quarterbacks always have to keep tabs on top cornerbacks such as Peters, Patrick Peterson, Richard Sherman and Josh Norman, but "you also have to have faith and trust in yourself and your receiver."
Whereas Cardinals All Pro Peterson "travels" with opposing No. 1 receivers, Peters plays in a zone-structured defense that allows him to peak into the backfield and anticipate a receiver's route by reading the quarterback's tendencies.
After tossing a career-high six interceptions in last week's loss, Ryan Fitzpatrick noted that the Chiefs defensive backs do a great job of keeping their eyes on the quarterback.
Peters will track Roethlisberger with one eye on Sunday. What inquiring football minds want to know, though, is whether the Chiefs' star cornerback will also track the Steelers' superstar receiver.
Since he entered the league last season, Peters leads all players in interceptions (12) and passes defensed (45), per NFL.com's statistics. In fact, he has broken up more passes in three games this season than the entire defenses of the Colts, Jets and Jaguars.
Over that same time period, Pittsburgh's Antonio Brown leads the NFL in receptions (160) and receiving yards (2,139).
Recent trends suggest their encounters will be limited on Sunday. Peters patrols the left side of the field while Brown is primary a right-side wideout.
Football fans have been brainwashed by the incessant Odell Beckham-Josh Norman hype to salivate over marquee cornerback-receiver matchups. Peters and Brown are superlative enough to appreciate on their own merits.
