"Celebrities" announced for ITV's new Saturday Night Show
Alesha Dixon and Paddy McGuinness host Your Face Sounds Familiar, a celebrity entertainment series with a comedy twist, coming soon to ITV.
This format will challenge six celebrities, comedian and presenter Alexander Armstrong; Olympian Denise Lewis OBE; entertainer Bobby Davro; Emmerdale actress Natalie Anderson; presenter Matt Johnson and actress Cheryl Fergison to perform as different iconic music artists every week before a panel of judges including Julian Clary and Emma Bunton.
In a show that takes making a good impression quite literally, each of our regular cast of celebrities will be transformed into a different legendary singer, and perform an iconic song and dance routine from that artist's catalogue every week.
But in a twist, the celebrities will have no control over who they will perform as on each show. Instead, they'll have to face the Your Face Sounds Familiar 'Randomiser' at the end of each programme to decide who they'll be becoming the following week. Whether it's an older or a younger artist, or even a star of the opposite sex, the ultimate decision is down to the Randomiser, guaranteeing hilarious and dramatic results.
Performing in front of regular judges Emma and Julian, and a special guest judge each week, the celebrities will have to impress as they sing and dance their way through to the finale.
Also, no-one gets evicted in this show. Instead, each contestant is awarded points, which will be scored on a leader board. The one with the most points at the end of each show will receive a cash prize for a charity of their choice with a further grand prize pot for the series champion.
Alesha said: "This show is going to be a lot of fun. I can't wait to see their transformations and spectacular performances. I know that Paddy and I are going to have our work cut out keeping them all in line!"
Paddy said: "To be given a live show on Saturday night TV is a massive honour. Hairbrushes at the ready, for a proper good old Saturday night sing along. It's an honour to be in the same company as Ant and Dec, Dermot O'Leary and lest we not forget, Russ Abbot."
ITV's Commissioning Editor for Comedy and Entertainment, Claire Zolkwer, said "Our viewers can expect incredible transformations, great music, unforgettable performances and a lot of laughs in this hilarious new show where just about anything can happen."
Created by Endemol Spain, Your Face Sounds Familiar has been sold to 20 countries and counting including the US, China, Russia and across Europe, Latin America and Asia. The show has become a number one hit in nearly every territory it has launched so far.

Concerning comments made by President Akin of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, as reported in the recent Biblical Recorder, I am distressed. I consider it to be in poor taste for a seminary president to refer to sister institutions in such a demeaning manner. One should expect better from a person in such a responsible position, certainly one who proposes we marry "right belief with right behavior." Yet, inasmuch as he heads a Baptist seminary, I am assuming his critique of other divinity schools in the state includes those at Gardner-Webb and Campbell. The contents of his assertions are absurd. The very idea of accusing these divinity schools of "having no confession of faith," and "standing for nothing," is both un-Christian and insulting to those institutions, their faculty and staffs, and the worthy purposes which they embody.
As a graduate of the Campbell University School of Divinity, during my years there I was blessed daily by faculty, staff and fellow students participating in a divinity school intentionally seeking to be Christ-centered, Bible-based and Ministry-focused. I found it to be a school of deeply spiritual men and women who love the Lord and serve him faithfully in their educational callings. This divinity school also operates as a vital member of Campbell University, a university with a glorious Christian purpose and decades of service in educating tens of thousands of North Carolina Baptists.
In my opinion, President Akin's comments were grossly unfair, untrue, unkind, and un-Christ-like. As one Baptist who knows better, I do not intend to be drawn in by his fallacious and deceptive rhetoric; perhaps he himself suffers from the "double-speak" condition.
I am disturbed with the content of Danny Akin's speech at Southeastern Seminary's rally for Conservative Carolina Baptists. I wonder who appointed him to "prescribe the formula for N.C. Baptists' future"? It appears he made this a political rally, rather than a Christian crusade. He cited seven pledges he made when taking control at Southeastern. Some of his statements were what all Christians believe, while others pointed to politics, such as becoming "rabid dogs" for evangelism.
He castigated CBF for claiming evangelism is "the presence of Christ in the world," and admitted he didn't know what that meant. I prefer "the presence of Christ," over "rabid dogs" (raging, furious, mad dog-style). Aren't we Christians "Christ followers" (presence)?
He added fuel to the fire about the Convention budget's four giving plans, thus promoting division, and he touted the 2000 BF&M as pure gospel. To further the controversy, he accused some divinity schools in our state of "saying 'we have no confession of faith.'" However, he neglected to name the schools or provide proof that it's true. Maybe he meant to say, "They have no creed such as the SBC does now!"
Akin speaks of the Bible being his authority, but the Bible does not speak of its own authority. All authority belongs to God alone. The Bible speaks of Christ's authority (Matt. 5:29), so Jesus Christ is my authority! I believe the Bible and revere its word, under Christ and through his Holy Spirit to interpret as he leads (priesthood of every believer).
Prayer was missing from Akin's formula, but he did mention "love" once, and said we need to wed right belief with right behavior. Perhaps President Akin will reconsider his own actions, words, and formulas, as well as his doctrines.
Where has the servant pastor model gone?
The editor's commentary on religion, politics, and trouble in the local church is clear and right on target. We have too much angry power plays going on in many churches. Sadly this approach is modeled after mega-church polity and is being taught at seminaries. Where has the servant pastor model gone? Another dimension of this battle is taking place in the North Roanoke Association where I live. Several churches have withheld funds creating a financial crisis. Recent listening sessions brought out the comment: "We won't give unless we know we can trust you." This is defined as to whether we will adopt the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message.
In our case we have two churches with female pastors and an even larger number where women serve as deacons. It appears to me the power plays have no end and only generate mistrust and hostility. What happened to the days of agreeing to disagree, but giving to widen the sharing of the gospel in the local setting?
I commend the editorial thoughts and hope more of us will major on missions and minor on theological differences.
I am distraught over recent strides toward both Democratic and Republican parties in Baptist camps. As a disclaimer, let me admit that I do favor one particular political party, but am not a straight-ticket voter.
As an "evangelical," however, whatever that word has come to mean, let me make something patently clear. Within that word is the word from the Greek (eu aggelion) meaning good message, or good news. Thus the word itself should mean someone whose primary life purpose is to share the message of Christ.
Jesus was clear that the kingdom was not a political entity. When he asked to give what is Caesar's to Caesar, he did not mean the whole palace (please forgive the bad Las Vegas joke). He also asked to give to God what is God's.
Quick question, believers: whose domain is greater, Caesar's or God's? Whose legacy of riches would we want to inherit? The application is that we have invested in what will rust and fade, and have not sought out those who risk an eternity of Godforsakenness with a burden in our hearts and souls.
Roger Williams is actually reeling in his grave over multiple factions in our denomination. Those who claim to be the true heirs of Baptist faith, those who tighten the reins to choke soul freedom, and those who believe that the first question of the judgment will be whether we voted Democrat or Republican. When so many of our neighbors don't know Christ, what are we really fighting for? Things of eternal value, or finite, ephemeral things? Now is the time for missions. Period.
The non-fundamentalist Baptist church of which I am a long-term member has had only two unanimous congregational votes in its history - and one was on a motion to adjourn. This is descriptive of the single most distinctive characteristic of Baptist churches remaining true to their heritage - the insistence on the freedom of the local congregation from rigid control by actual or wannabe "bishops" at the national level and freedom within the congregation for members to differ with one another and/or with the minister on matters of faith and practice. The expression: "Four Baptists, at least five different opinions" is not far from the mark.
Baptists began in England in 1609 as a radical, separatist group and experienced persecution because of their unwillingness to submit to the authority of the crown or to a religious hierarchy on matters of faith. The view that, since Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, his denominational affiliation is clear, and that he established the First Baptist Church of Jerusalem is, happily, not widely held.
That Baptists have fiercely defended the freedom to differ - even with themselves - is evidenced by the fact that there are presently - as of last Monday morning - at least 24 different Baptist denominational groups in America. These divisions have occurred because of differing theological and ethical perspectives as well as racial factors. At meetings of the Baptist World Alliance it has been reported that German Baptists, distressed at witnessing some American Baptists smoking, have dropped their beer steins in shock and dismay.
Historically Catholics and Baptists have been at opposite ends of the spectrum regarding authority and freedom. The Catholic Church is organized by authority from the top down - from the Pope to the hierarchy to the local priest to the individual members. Essentially, one yields to authority or leaves. Baptists are congregational in church government, authority residing in the will of the local congregation - from the bottom up - with freedom from any state or local denominational control. The minister serves at the will of the congregation; the congregation does not always follow blindly and unanimously the will or dictates of the minister. It is ironic that Catholics are moving, however glacially, toward more freedom, while the current Southern Baptist "hierarchy" has moved toward a more rigid control of congregational faith and practice.
This authoritarian and seriously misguided position of the current leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention is based on the false analogy that theology is like mathematics. Two and two can only be four; therefore only a flawed sense of charity or inclusiveness can allow it to be five or seven. The early Baptists rejected the practice of coercion in matters of faith and practice and insisted on persuasion. Complete religious freedom would allow all religious groups to convince others of the correctness of their views, not coerce them to conformity. Coercion "stinks in God's nostrils," declared the early Baptist champion of freedom, Roger Williams.
The medieval church was convinced that truth is one and must be defended, leading to persecution and death during the Inquisition. The colonial Puritans of Salem, Massachusetts believed sincerely that the execution of witches was mandated by Scripture. They were consistent biblical inerrantists who concluded that "what I think is not important; it's just what the Bible plainly teaches." Therefore, the biblical command: "You shall not allow a witch to live" (Exodus 22:18) must be followed by all "Bible-believing" Christians. They were not the first biblical inerrantists nor, unfortunately, the last.
Current Biblical inerrantists, including many Baptists, are selective in their biblicism, refusing to follow the "plain" teaching of Scripture by performing the marriage of divorced persons, refusing to condemn pig-pickings, or rejecting the death penalty for adultery. It is gratifying that progress, although slow, is evident. We now burn only selected translations of Scripture, not the translators themselves.
Throughout their history Baptists have a great deal of which to be ashamed: slavery defended adamantly from Scripture, segregation and racism embraced defiantly, and arrogance as the "one true faith" proclaimed without a trace of humility. The Baptist commitment and contribution to freedom of conscience, however, is the denomination's highest achievement. This historic Baptist principle was once taught at all theological seminaries of the Southern Baptist Convention but clearly, as contemporary events reveal, no more. We allow our birthright to be stolen at our peril.
I remember my older brother and I sitting in the pastor's office when I was nine. The pastor went through John 3 and the story of Nicodemus. I understood being born of spirit, but I couldn't comprehend being born of water from a woman. So our salvation talk began to take a downward turn towards the birds and the bees. The more he attempted to explain the more questions I asked and the more embarrassed my then 13-year-old brother became.
Nevertheless, our pastor regrouped and explained salvation in such a way that made sense to me and I surrendered my life to Christ. I tell this story to show the difficulties we may have while sharing the gospel. Therefore, in order to be prepared, we must begin to understand the concepts involved in salvation.
Jesus is the only way to eternal life. This is a concept that becomes a stumbling block for many in our culture. Some may say that God is closed minded only to allow one way to Heaven.
I remember standing before my bride some years ago and affirming our wedding vows. Imagine after hearing the pastor read our vows that I paused and said: "Honey, I promise to be faithful to you 98 percent of the time. I'll only run around on you 2 percent of the time." Needless to say, I would still be single right now. Why? Because my wife is closed minded? No! Because a healthy marriage is only done one way and that is by being totally and completely faithful. God isn't trying to be closed-minded by stating that Jesus is the only way to eternal life, He is trying to protect us from all the wrong options that will condemn us to hell.
The Bible tells us that the Spirit convicts of sin, leads to all truth, and comforts us. Explaining His role in salvation is difficult, but the passage clearly indicates that we must be born again through the Spirit.
The Holy Spirit works in our lives for salvation much like switching on a light in a dark room. As you enter the room you can't see much of anything. You grapple your way through the room with fear, anxiety and uncertainty. You can't even see enough to find your way to the light switch. But when someone else turns the light on for you, you can see your way. The fear and uncertainty are gone. You can see and respond to what is in front of you.
This is a very simplified example of the role the Holy Spirit plays in our lives. Because we were spiritually dead, we couldn't do anything for ourselves until the Holy Spirit came and illumined our soul, providing for us the opportunity to respond to God's gift of salvation.
God initiates salvation to the world because He loves us unconditionally and sacrificially.
Jack Kelly, a USA Today reporter, told the following story. "We were in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, during a famine. It was so bad we walked into one village and everybody was dead. At another village we saw this little boy. You could tell he had worms and was malnourished; his stomach was protruding.
"Our photographer had a grapefruit, which he gave to the boy. The boy was so weak he didn't have the strength to hold the grapefruit, so we cut it in half and gave it to him. He picked it up and began to walk back towards his village.
"When he entered the village, there on the ground was a little boy who I thought was dead. His eyes were completely glazed over. It turned out that this was his younger brother. The older brother kneeled down next to his younger brother, bit off a piece of the grapefruit, and chewed it. Then he opened up his younger brother's mouth, and put the grapefruit in. We learned that the older brother had been doing that for the younger brother for two weeks. A couple days later the older brother died of malnutrition, and the younger brother lived."
The older brother's love was completely sacrificial and unconditional just like God's love. God's love for this world is so strong that He gave His only son to redeem us. It is our responsibility to live a life worthy of such love.
Do you remember the Los Angeles riots of 1992? Do you remember the television scenes of stores being looted and cars being torched? The riots began when the police offers who had beaten Rodney King were acquitted. Although that wasn't the proper response to the acquittal, we all have that built in tendency to want and demand justice. We want wrongs to be righted and the guilty to be punished. This attitude for justice exists within us because we are made in the image of God and He demands a price to be paid for sin.
Paul explains in this passage the current condition of all people. The Old Testament law was given to reveal to the world God's standard. By doing so we each become aware that no one can attain that standard. From the beginning of our life we each show evidence that we are guilty of breaking God's law.
A salesman's call was answered by a child who whispered, "Hello?" He asked to speak to the boy's parents and the child replied by whispering "they're busy." The salesman then asked if anyone else was there. The boy said the firemen were there. The intrigued salesmen asked to speak to the firemen, and the boy replied once again by whispering "they're busy too." The salesman asked if anyone else was home and the boy replied the police were there as well. "Can I speak to the policeman?" the salesman worriedly inquired. Again the boy replied "they're busy too." The salesman didn't know what to think at this point and getting a little worried asked the boy what exactly were his parents, the firemen and the policeman doing. And the boy said with a smile in his voice "they're looking for me."
Just as we do, the little boy unknowingly revealed his own guilt. Therefore, God is aware of our sin and demands that it be paid.
God acquitted us from all our sins. However, God's holiness doesn't allow that our sin simply go unpunished. He requires payment for our sin. That payment came through the death of Jesus on the cross.
I remember being taught the definition of justification as a child: "just as if I'd never sinned." This gift is what Jesus offers to us by His death; complete and total forgiveness. There is nothing we need to do to pay for our sin; Jesus has already paid that bill. In fact, there is nothing that we can offer that would pay it. Our responsibility is merely to receive this gift. Any attempt on our part to earn salvation is not only impossible but insulting. Salvation is by grace through faith and not of any type of earned effort, or else, we would have something to brag to God about. The only thing justification leaves for us to brag about is God's rich grace.
So what happens now that we have had our sin paid for by Christ? Very simply stated, we live like it. The passage states that through justification we have been given peace, access to God, grace, joy and hope. It is now our responsibility to live a life of gratitude to God for the great gift He has given to us. 1 John 2:4 says that "He who says 'I know Him' and does not keep His commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him." It is now our duty and our privilege to live a life of character, love, purity, etc. We live like this not because we need to earn salvation, but because God has so generously given us salvation. He has acquitted us from all our sin.
We learn early in school that the subject of a sentence is a word that indicates who or what performs or undergoes the action named by a verb. The writer of Hebrews found it important to declare in essence that Christ did not glorify Himself as the "subject" of life. Rather than seeking self-aggrandizement as the divine Son of God, Jesus accepted His God-appointed role in humble, obedient submission to God's will.
The author of Hebrews reflected on the words of God at Jesus' baptism in which He called Him "Son" and declared, "Today I have begotten You." The word "today" is to be understood in the sense of eternal status. What Jesus had always been in the Godhead was confirmed, verified and revealed at that time. As F.F. Bruce explained: "The eternity of Christ's divine Sonship is not brought into question by this view; the suggestion rather is that He who was the Son of God from everlasting entered into the full exercise of all the prerogatives implied by His Sonship."
Christ, who is from all eternity one with the Eternal Father, submitted to be the eternal priest who would mediate between sinful humanity and the Holy God. His priesthood was viewed as being like that of the priest Melchizedek who was revered in his time as having no historical beginning or end.
Jesus knew what it was like to pray in anguish with tears. At first glance, these verses appear to mean that Jesus prayed to avoid death on the cross. But the gospel record indicates that Jesus was committed to drink the "cup" of suffering on behalf of sinners. The statement may reflect instead that His prayers of anguish were directed toward overcoming our sin through death and that His prayers were heard in the victory of resurrection over death.
I think the most interesting statement is that, "he learned obedience through what He suffered." I learned obedience through suffering at the end of my mother's keen switch and I continue to learn obedience through the consequences of sin.
Why would Jesus, the sinless Son of God, need to learn obedience? Most likely the meaning is that Jesus learned through personal experience what it means for a human to obey God. Having learned that, He can understand and guide us through the suffering that comes when we choose to oppose the world and seek to live in obedience to God.
One who is going to be the source of eternal salvation would need to be perfect and scripture declares that to be the case with Jesus. Yet, the wording here is "having been made perfect." William Barclay explained that the Greek word teleioun, translated "perfect," referred to something that fully carried out the purpose for which it was designed. With that in mind, the writer of Hebrews is conveying that Jesus had been shown to be perfectly fitted to be our High Priest.
There is a sobering summary statement that God's appointed High Priest is the source of eternal salvation to "all who obey him."
I don't know about you, but I cannot say that I always obey Him. Therefore, I take heart when I look back at verse 2 and read: "He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray ..."
The hope expressed by the author of Hebrews is that we can trust and obey the High Priest who understands and mediates a perfect salvation for us.
In the book Hope for the Flowers by Trina Paulus, a caterpillar began climbing a mound seeking ultimate happiness, only to find at the top that he was on a heap of tangled, writhing and frustrated caterpillars.
In disillusionment, he wandered aimlessly until he came across a caterpillar spinning a cocoon. He sensed there was something essential to be found for his true nature in the act of denying himself and entering the cocoon. His higher nature was released and he eventually rose above his former way of life with new freedom, dignity and joy.
Salvation can be viewed as a spiritual and practical metamorphosis, and this passage celebrates the change that God accomplishes in our lives through Christ.
Paul's emphasis from start to finish is on our inability to accomplish for ourselves what God has done for us. It is impossible for anyone who is dead to make himself or herself alive again. Just as a dead person does not come when called, neither do we respond to God's call when we are caught up in the tides and currents of cultural influences that deny the power and authority of God. Paul paints a pretty bleak picture of our state of being before we are made new in Christ.
Out of infinite love and unfathomable expanses of mercy, God has rescued us. When we were hopelessly entrapped, living with a deadness toward God and others, God raised us to new life together with Christ. We are new people, with a new purpose and even a new homeland.
We are no longer of the earth nor are we bound for an eternal grave because of our willful tendencies. Our citizenship is already in Heaven and we are to live in that context. Paul was talking practically, not just theoretically, as the rest of the passage reveals.
"There is none righteous, no not one" (Roms. 3:10).
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Roms. 3:23).
"All our righteousness is as filthy rags" (Is. 64:6).
In 2 Corinthians 4:7, Paul taught that we hold the precious treasure of the gospel in earthen vessels "to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us." Paul utilized the image of a clay jar that had been fashioned for a special purpose.
A similar craftsmanship motif is utilized in our lesson and could have been reminiscent of Jeremiah's call by God to observe a potter at the wheel shaping and re-shaping a clay pot (Jer. 18:1-6).
The point of Jeremiah's observation was that God is in control and not ourselves. Paul had a similar thesis as he stressed that God has created us anew in Christ Jesus and fashioned us for a purpose, which He has in mind.
The purpose is simply good works, but we must not let the simplicity cause us to dismiss the critical meaning. Goodness is the essence of God's nature and, therefore, of His requirement for those who would seek to live in His kingdom now and forever.


The Rt. Rev. W. Fred Gates, Jr., Suffragan Bishop of Tennessee, presided at the first service of St. Philip Church on Sunday afternoon, December 8, 1974, at the J. B. Griffin Memorial Chapel in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Brunswick, Tn.
Mrs. Ellen Davies Rodgers donated ten (10) acres for a church to be built on land that was a part of Davies Plantation. On January 24, 1976, St. Philip Episcopal Church was accepted as an Organized Mission at the 144th Convention of the Diocese of Tennessee. "Miss Ellen", as she was affectionately known, would later give more land and most of the means for the construction of the church building. The late Rev. H. Gordon Bernard became Vicar of St. Philip in July,1980. Ground was broken for the new church that same year on September 14, with more than 300 people attending on an afternoon when the temperature soared to 103 degrees. Both Bishop William E. Sanders and Suffragan Bishop Gates took part in the consecration service for the new church on Sunday, November 1, 1981, (All Saints' Day). St. Philip became the first congregation admitted to parish status in the newly created Diocese of West Tennessee on January 20, 1984, under the Rt. Rev. Alex D. Dickson.
rved until his retirement in April of 1994.
On April 25, 1994, the Rev. Joseph N. Davis began his duties as the third Rector of St.
Philip. After thirteen years, in June, 2007, Fr. Davis left to accept a call to the Church of the Resurrection in Franklin, Tennessee.
On November 20, 2008, our current priest, The Rev. Terry Street was installed as the fourth Rector of St. Philip Church Episcopal Church.


Hello Folks, I would just like to remind you all that the deadline for Friday Night Fight Submissions is Wednesday Morning at 7 am Eastern Time ( GMT -4:00 ). I so far have only 7 submission to the contest, if I do not get at least 9 more by the deadline I will have to call it off.
I didn't really have an idea until I though of giving them a shared motif, then I just made them fit in each category.
So you could even use of the Friday Night Fight themes suggested when Jeff was asking for ideas – Like using the Arthurian legend idea, but with a robot Merlin and a Superpowered Lancelot. Or Public Domain literary characters, with a sword wielding Dracula and an alien Sherlock Holmes.
So wish I could enter, just didn't have the time.
Here's hoping you get enough entries. But if you don't… it would be a shame to abandon the whole thing. FWIW, I think you need a two week period when getting characters in for something like this – one week isn't enough and a one week extension doesn't solve the problem (if you've not started, you've still only got a week!).
2 more to go and im in!
I am just struggling to find time between work, kids, and my vehicles breaking down left and right.
One more and it shall be yours.
That'll only give you 9 though. Damn.
Heromachine stopped working on my browser. Running updated Firefox, and updated flash. The app loads, but when I click on an item nothing happens.
Sorry it has taken me this long to get back to you all today. I have just returned to work within the last week and have had a very rough time of it and I am in pain from head to toe right now. Anyway I am considering instead of calling the contest off if I do not get enough entries to instead restructure it so it is no longer a bracketed tournament and insteed have each and every round like the Play in round where those with the top votes move on to the next round. Let me know what you think?
Heromachine stopped working on my browser.Running updated Firefox, and updated flash.The app loads, but when I click on an item nothing happens.
Let me see if I can get this one clear in my mind, so you are proposing that each round all of the entries face off in one poll and at the end of the polling time the one with the lowest votes is eliminated. This is then repeated until we find a winner (very basically). That would work, but some things may need to be changed depending on the number of entries.
The Normal FNF set up is a bracketed contest where the 16 contestants are paired off in head to head competition where the winner of each pairing moves on to the next round to be paired off against another of the previous rounds winners. If I do not get 16 or more entries ( the play in round would is there to get it down to 16 ) and get only say 10 ( I have 9 right now ) that I would pit all 10 against each other in a single poll and the top 8 would move to the next round, where the top 6 would move on, then the top 4, and finally the top 2 face of to determine the winner.
Yeah, I don't trust keeping all my files on the browser.
What I do mate, is save the text for each creation to my computer. Notepad works for me and I usually just save them individually. There's a lot of text, so you'll wanna go "Crtl+A" then paste it in.
You will have to replace the text whenever you want to save a change, but you're creations will be that much safer….
Alright my characters are in!
Yay! How many is that?

Albania's president warns to dissolve parliament
By Tirana Times March 3, 2020 10:39
U.S. revokes visas for Albanian justice officials
Opposition says US-Turkish consortium earning too much
OSCE launches project on access to information in Albania
TIRANA, March. 2 - Albania's president Ilir Meta said on Monday he will dissolve the country's national assembly unless the majority withdraws from the initiative for the changes in the swearing-in procedures of members of the Constitutional Court.
Meta made these statements during a manifestation called by him in Tirana's main boulevard, in front of his office.
The legal changes approved by the parliament three weeks ago "if a member of the Constitutional Court is not summoned to take an oath within 10 days of the election, he or she shall take the oath in writing and forward it to the President of the Republic, the designated body and the Constitutional Court." This act of the majority is regarded by the president as a "coup d'etat". President Meta signed on spot the decree returning the changes to the parliament, and vowed in front of the flag: "if the coup d'etat and the mafia organization playing with sovereignty does not take this decree seriously, I promise, on the name of this flag, that after March 15, when the election reform is over, if they do not take it seriously, me, Ilir Meta swear that I will sign that decree in the midst of the parliament, in the midst of crime, and will call all the Albanian people. Me first and all the red and black citizens," Meta said.
Despite the warning, the Albanian constitution recognizes the president's right to dissolve the parliament only on two occasions: (Article 96) "When the Assembly fails to elect a new Prime Minister, the President of the Republic dissolves the Assembly "and (Article 104) "The Prime Minister is entitled to submit to the Assembly a vote of no confidence of the Council of Ministers. If less than half of all members of the Assembly vote on the motion, the Prime Minister shall, within 48 hours of the vote, request the President of the Republic to dissolve the Assembly. The President shall dissolve the Assembly within 10 days after receiving the request".
President Meta's speech following the interventions of some of the non-political figures during the manifestation, such as lawyers, diplomats, students and even artists, was loaded with harsh tones and strong accusations against the ruling Socialist Party of PM Edi Rama.
"We are here because Albania is divided into the red and black people and the group that represents a small, dark and traitorous world, participating in the coup and oligarchs who on a daily basis suck the blood of the people. We are here because none of us can tolerate a coup. We are today to face off the coup d'etat," Meta added.
During the event, Albanian president hold the American flag for a few minutes.
"For me, Albania is and will be first. But America is second, and I am ready, for the sake of what America has done for us, for the Albanians everywhere, to do everything for America, that does not harm Albania and the Albanians," Meta said, adding: "I took this flag, as tens and hundreds of Albanians came from America. They have left their jobs. I raised this flag in honor of all the great friends in America. For Congressman (Eliot) Engel and all extraordinary friends who have helped the Albanian cause and will always be ready to defend our interests."
But the U.S. ambassador to Tirana, Yuri Kim took to Twitter to clarify shortly after the event ended: "I was surprised to see the US flag at tonight's "manifestation." To avoid any confusion, we wish to clarify that while the US supports the right of peaceful protest, we have nothing to do with tonight's "manifestation," she wrote.
Downplaying Meta's declarations, Prime Minister Edi Rama said that "the president of the Republic cannot sign such decrees, while Ilir (Meta) who has nothing more for the president anymore and who has launched a campaign within the opposition can sign a decree for declaring war against the U.S., but which the parliament will not recognize. The greatest news is that Albania just got another extraordinary support from Brussels," Rama said referring to the recommendation of the European Commission for opening the accession talks with Albania.
In the past weeks, President Ilir Meta has toughened the political debate concerning the parliament's votes and appointments.
"The Republic of Albania is experiencing the worst situation of state capture on the continent, but I will not accept the installation of a coup by turning the most important institution of justice, the Constitutional Court, into an unconstitutional PPP (private public partnership) state police," Meta reiterates.
The U.S. Ambassador to Albania Yuri Kim has emphasized how important it is for her country that the Albania respects democratic processes and the international community's solidarity and desire to help the Albanian people.

What do you do when you love coffee, food and the great outdoors? You stop at a roadside food truck and sample what is on offer.
This is what happened to us when we travelled from Clifden to Leenaun in Connemara. Close by Jamie Young's Killary Adventure Company is a small road to the left where a signpost "food truck" awakened our curiosity. We have always loved this part of Ireland, and the area around Killary Harbour has always had a special place in our heart.
Killary Harbour is Ireland's only fjord, and the views are just amazing.
After having parked the car, we followed the sign pointing us in the direction of the food truck. Shortly afterwards, we reached the food truck named the Misunderstood Heron. The food truck is cladded in wood making it blend in with Connemara's amazing landscape.
The menu on offer, although small enough, is just fantastic. On offer are the famous Killary mussels, smoked salmon served with brown bread , sweet potato and spinach quiche,...not the food you expect to find at a roadside truck We arrived here just after having eaten lunch somewhere else, so we opted for mocha's and carrot cake.
And we must say, we can see why Reinaldo Seco and Kim young opened the Misunderstood heron.
The food is to die for. The carrot cake is by far the best we have ever eaten. It is moist, tasty and accompanied by the great mocha and the views, it is very difficult to leave this place behind. Unfortunately, as we had eaten prior to arriving at the Misunderstood Heron, we weren't able to sample the great food on offer.
But as we visit Connemara quite regular, we will be back to sample all the other food on offer.
There are plenty of picnic benches around, and on the rainy day we had selected for our Connemara trip, a canopy had been erected to protect customers from the weather.
Even the birds are catered for, a bird feeding place provides nuts for the many birds around.
The Misunderstood Heron is a hidden gem along Killary Harbour, one which provides the many travellers along the Wild Atlantic Way some great, decent food.

Okay, lets begin. Blockology is the study of Minecraftia. In this thread, we are seeking to discover the underlying principles of how Minecraft works.
The first step in creating a scientific theory is to create a law. A law is simply a mathematical observation about how things work. Example: All entities, along with Sand, Gravel, Anvils, and the Dragon Egg, accelerate downwards.
The next step would be to create a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a possible explanation for the phenomenon described in the law. Example: There is a force in Minecraftia called "ponditism" that only effects certain objects that have a large amount of a property called "pondity".
Finally, that hypothesis must be able to stand to criticism and testing and still prove valid to become a Theory. If there is a flaw in the hypothesis, try to go back and modify the hypothesis to make it fit the new observation, do not try to defend the same flawed idea.
One thing we have to avoid at all costs: assuming Minecraftia works like our world. It doesn't. It can't. In order for blockology to work, we must start with simple laws and work up from there instead of relying on theories from real life.
Also, no wiki, only experiments :D.
The Sun and Moon seem to always be on opposite sides of Minecraftia.
Minecraftia is a plane (based on geometric proof).
Minecraftia cannot be rotating fast enough to explain the "orbit" of the two bodies without creating a huge centrifugal force that would rip the plane of Minecraftia apart.
Some objects, such as entities, sand, gravel, anvils, and dragon eggs, accelerate toward bedrock.
Blocks seem to be fixed to a well defined grid of exactly one meter per unit.
Lava and water can create cobblestone, stone, and obsidian when they come into contact.
Redstone can transmit a signal up to 15 blocks away, and cause effects on the world around it.
Objects disappear entirely when they enter the void.
Mobs and players (even players with different video settings) "see" in totally different ways.
Objects tend to move in a straight line, while slowing down over time.
Everything in Minecraftia is made up of subatomic particles known as "tritrons" (tri- meaning "three", a reference to the three dimensional nature of cubes" and -tron as a suffix for particles). There are four type of tritrons: Red, Green, Blue, and White. These particles combine in different ways to create all the phenomena in Minecrafia.
Lava has an excess of Red and Green tritrons, while water has an excess of blue. When they touch, they exchange tritrons, creating more neutral blocks in the middle, such as cobblestone, stone and obsidian.
Dark colors are created by combining the RGB tritrons with an absence of white.
Can something so tiny exist?
Why do things disappear when they enter the void?
This stems from the original posters theory on how thing work in Minecraftia. The claim was that the primary governing Minecraftia was one called "Relation". It is designed to work with the Blockule Hypothesis.
One property of Blockules is their Cubular Temperature Energy (CTE). CTE tries to spread itself evenly among all blockules using Relation. This causes the water lava reaction. (In the combined Blockule-Tritron Hypothesis, the Tritron explanation of water+lava is used). This is essentially because of diffusion.
Areas of the world that are similar (ores, dirt veins, biomes, etc.) are caused by relation as the world is being created. This is due to the fact that relation causes nearby objects to become "similar" to each other.
"Power" is another property used primarily when dealing with redstone.
Relation allows portals to be created. Within an obsidian frame, relation created by fire (perhaps fire is simply a manifestation of relation? That would explain why it causes blocks to disintegrate, similar to the void) is able to open a two way portal to the nether, with similar particles to the void particles being displayed. Because the moon/End is farther away, you need a much more sophisticated portal to contain the relation to travel there, but the portal is basically one sided (bedrock is used on the other side to create the way back, which is much stronger than obsidian).
The void around the Nether and End create even more relation that that around Minecraftia. This massive amount of relation creates a huge, one way portal around each of them, allowing them to be seen as the sun and moon from Minecraftia, but not the other way around.
The world would fail to generate without relation.
Provides a fairly elegant solution to a wide variety of problems, such as the dirt patches.
Yeah, that's basically it, but it's pretty good evidence.
Uses many logical leaps that seem a bit like assumptions to me.
This hypothesis attempts to explain what makes up the Minecraft world by defining tiny particles known as "blocktoms"
which make up "blockules". The pixels we see on blocks are actually blockules. One possible explanation is that "blocktoms" are actually tritrons (i.e. tritrons make up blockules. See Tritron Color Theory), demonstrating a possible cause for color. The hypothesis originally was meant to work with Relation.
Blockules can be altered by relation to become more similar to each other.
Each block may contain 16x16x16 blockules, although some would have less. This point has been contested seeing as it has not been proven that blocks are not hollow.
Attempts to explain that blockules "fail to interact" very far (30,000,000 blocks) from spawn. It does not explain sufficiently why this occurs.
Blockules have a property called "Cubular Temperature Energy" CTE. CTE diffuses from hot to cold, explaining the cobblestone creation process. In the combined Blockule/Tritron theory, the tritron explanation is preferred.
Perhaps the "sun" is actually the Nether, and the "moon" is actually the End. As an extension, the stars might possibly be the outer islands of the End. Alternatively to the star hypothesis, the dark spots on the moon may be void between the islands.
You cannot travel directly from the Nether to the End or vice versa (Minecraftia is directly between the two).
The Nether is flooded with lava, so it should glow.
The moon has spots on it that look similar to the obsidian pillars.
Explains how the sun and moon can orbit Minecraftia opposite of each other. Based on old Geocentric models of the universe where the sun moon and planets were thought to be embedded in crystalline spheres that were rotating.
The Sun and Moon are embedded in a massive bedrock sphere surrounding Minecraftia. The sphere is rotating creating the motion we see.
The stars may be holes in the sphere, giving us a glimpse of something beyond.
The Sun and Moon are always precisely opposite of each other.
They rotate around Minecraftia at a constant rate.
There is no positive evidence that air exists, so we need another explanation for why players suffocate.
When a block enters the head space of a living entity, it squeezes that entity with enough force to cause damage.
Water also exerts a pressure on the player, but less so, so you can last longer in it.
Living entities take damage faster when in blocks than when in water.
Respiration helmets can help you last longer.
Why are entities not affected by this? Maybe for the same reason other subatomic particles don't follow this rule IRL?
At the core of a spherical Minecraftia is an area known as the void that is analogous to the core of Earth.
Relies on a concept of pressure that hasn't yet been explained.
By definition, the Notch Length is the smallest possible length in Minecraft. The initial idea was that the Notch Length was one meter, but that doesn't seem to be right.
Objects can only more in 1M increments.
Blocks fall into a one meter grid.
Things can exist in lengths smaller than one meter, such as slabs, mobs, etc.
Pondity (from Latin pondus, meaning weight), is a basic property of everything in Minecraft. It helps explain why some objects fall and others don't and also why blocks are fixed to a grid.
"Entities" have a high pondity, "falling blocks" have a medium pondity, and other "blocks" have no pondity.
Pondity also causes something analogous to inertia, but in reverse. Objects with a low pondity are locked to a grid and require a much greater force to escape that grid. Objects with a high pondity are able to escape the grid much more easily.
Objects that fall are not locked to a grid, objects that do not fall are locked to a grid.
Seems to explain the interaction flawlessly.
Hello, I'm just posting a cleaned up version of the original post. Not only is this easier to understand, this will sate the people who are too lazy to go to the other thread.
The world of Minecraft and its blocks are all created by the fact that Blocks are components of tiny voxels, also known as the "Blockcules". Blockcules consist of "Blocktoms", at a max value of 6. A Blockcule is what we know as the tiny pixels on the block, but in a 3D aspect. To begin, how many Blockcules are contained and make of a block? We can solve this by first finding how many Blockcule make up the width, height and length, which is 16 Blockcules. 16 x 16 x 16 is 4,096 Blockcules. How many Blocktoms? 4,096 x 6 is 24,576 Blocktoms. However, this is but a visualization of a normal, solid block, such as Cobblestone. Anvils, for example, have less of these Blocktoms because they have a smaller surface area, which is what we use to calculate the total amount of Blocktoms.
Relation is one of the basic energy types in Minecraft. It is creation of more Blockcules within a radius in which the energy can reach. This energy changes all Blocktoms to manipulate into the same. For example, the acitvation of redstone is a perfect example. As redstone has a distance of 15, ending at 0, the power source must be changing the Blockcules of the redstone wire to change. Even though redstone is actually Minecraft Energy, all energies in the Minecraft Universe are governed by the power of Relation. Without relation, the Minecraft world would fail to generate. This is also why dirt patches grow underground. A center of the spherical dirt patch underground would be the absolute power of Relation. With every block, Relation is downgraded by 1.
Near the edge of the Minecraft world, (X or Z 30 million) Blockcules fail to interact. This causes position failures, because of how Relation is being used into the imaginary blocks world. Relation energy decreases because for nearly billions of blocks into the imaginary world the only blocks are Fake, which takes much of the Relation energy to spread to the other Fake blocks, for billions of blocks.
Now, an explanation of how redstone is activated.
Redstone is a particularly interesting dust. It is the element Rd, atomic number 5. (See the future Elements section in the future!). Redstone are powered by levers, pressure plates, and buttons. This implies that those items have their own power source. The power source takes in the Relation in the AR, 0 (air). It translates it to power Minecraft Energy that comes naturally in the Minecraft world. This is the explanation for how redstone is powered and why the energy only travels a maximum of fifteen blocks. Any and every power source has only a Relation maximum power of 15.
Redstone has its own energy and is probably very basic. It is called Minecraft Energy. First dubbed as the first energy source in Minecraft, being able to weakly power Minecraft Blocks or highly power it. Before new versions of Minecraft, Relation was the main power. If a Redstone wire was activated, then it could spread for infinity, the power never being able to stop. At that time, Relation energy was very powerful. Now, since there is a change, Relation does effect Redstone wire still, but the maximum distance is only 15 blocks. Redstone can effect Blocks by powering it with Minecraft Energy. Minecraft Energy can cause a functional Block to be changed, such as Doors or Redstone Lamps. Minecraft Energy can also be called Block Energy or Updation Energy because of its function.
Each blocktom has its own properties. These properties include: Solid, Texture, Temperature, and Age. We will start with Solid. A Solid Blocktom would release a basic type of energy called Relation, a energy that transforms surrounding Blockcules and Blocktoms to the Blocktom that has Solid properties. This proves of how when water and lava meet, it makes Cobblestone. When these two blocks meet, they enact Cubular Temperature Energy, which creates a Block within the Temperature changes. The Cobblestone Block would be created on the lava side, because Blocktoms and Blockcules somewhat "crave" for and regularly seek out Cubular Temperature Energy of which the lava has much of, much more than the water, due to it's incredible heat.
There are two types of blockcuels, compund and elemental blockcuels. They are made of different types of blocktoms, called 'Blockelements'. Blockule materials made of different types of blocktoms are called 'compound blocktoms', while ones made of a single blockelement are elemental blockcules. For example, pure iron is made of elemental iron blockules.
The highest level of energy is Void Energy. The Void produces particles in the air, which are Blocktoms that are responding to Void Energy. They are appear and phase out of existence regularly. Void Energy is so potent that once a player is past -64 Y, they start to disintegrate. The Void Energy is breaking the Player's Blocktom's apart, ultimately killing the Player, reducing the body to the same state as the particles in the Void. This also why Blocks cannot be placed in the Void; their entire structure would be reduced in the same manner as the Player. Void energy also forbids any type of light to enter the Void due to it's relative weakness. Void Energy is the real world equivalent of dark energy except much more lethal. Void Energy also functions similar to a black hole, emitting no light. Bedrock takes advantage of Dark Matter's near infinite energy to become nearly indestructible, growing more common as you approach the Void. This allows it be barricade and withstand even the most destructive attacks upon it's structure.
The Void Energy isn't the largest topic - considerably larger is Minecraft DNA, abbreviated MDNA. Not only does the Player and Mobs possess these, so do enities. The theory of all mobs as a collective is the Life Programmed Theorem, or Numra's Theorem. All entities have DNA. DNA have three different branches: Bisystem, Trisystem, and Comsystem. A Bisystem mob has two strands of DNA. In example, a creeper has a task as well as an objective. A task is a mobs programmed instinct. If a player is within 16 blocks of the creeper, the creeper will attack. This theory could became null for a creeper because a creeper has to multitask chasing the Player and as well swell in preparation to autodestruct if in proximity. Due to this multitasking, instead o bisystem, the creepers DNA is a trisystem. The third stand would be a Task 2 reflex.
An Objective is sort of a sensor, and a task sender. A Task actually executes code from the Objective. There can only be one Objective for any single given entity.

INTRODUCTION TO BLOCKOLOGY The world of Minecraft and its blocks are all created by the fact that Blocks are components of tiny voxels, also known as the "Blockcules". Blockcules consist of "Blocktoms", at a max value of 6.
What does "at a max value of 6." mean?
And where does this number come from?
width, height and length, which is 16 Blockcules. 16 x 16 x 16 is 4,096"
We don't actually know that blockules are 3D or that blocks are filled with blockules.
Leaf blocks are definately hollow, as seen, even from the outside, when using fancy graphics.
And there is evidence, X-ray glitches, that not only individual blocks but the whole world is hollow and the blockules only skin deep.
Certainly the blockules that make up many plants, flowers, leaf blocks, grass, sugar cane, etc as well as rails, fire, the flames on redstone torches, the book on a enchanting table etc are paper thin, if not completely 2D.
Minecraftia cannot be rotating fast enough to explain the "orbit"
rip the plane of Minecraftia apart.
What evidence do you have for this so called centrifical force?
Excellent point. This is the kind of thing we need more of.
Anyway, so I guess its based off of some abstract concept of inertia. Things in Minecraft tend to keep moving in a straight line, even if they slow down over time, which means if something was spinning, there would be an outward "fictitious force", to borrow a term from real life.
Even in real life, centrifugal "force" isn't a real thing, just a result of inertia acting on a spinning object. Did I mess up somewhere in here? Let me know.
Adding a section on inertia to Laws.

I'm not sure what to do with this. The original post just seems too flawed to me to put into the new OP. If someone can pull out some good bits from this, that would be nice, but I just don't think it makes sense.
Okay, so I like these, but they have some problems, mainly that they are relying on numbers from real life (The density of diamond, price, etc.). It does have some good info though, especially about the size of the swords. If someone can somehow find out the weight, and therefor the density of the materials of Minecraftia, using only information from in the game, we would be better off.
Also, what was that source that gave the price for the gold items?
I'm not sure you can assume inertia works the same here as IRL, minecarts, boats, falling entities have inertia but there are oddities.
If someone can somehow find out the weight, and therefor the density of the materials of Minecraftia, using only information from in the game, we would be better off.
I doubt there's any way to do that, as I understand it pressure plates count entities rather than weighing them.
I don't think anything other than boats, mobs and swimming players float in water and I doubt that boats give any visual clues to how loaded down they are. And I'm sure that items in your inventory don't affect your movement in any way.
We might have to scratch "weight" of the list of observable properties and settle for speed and acceleration without using weight to explain them.
Unfortunately, the Elytra proves a flaw with the "function of the fall height thing". With the Elytra, you actually do take damage based on the speed you hit a block. As for how water can stop a fall so easily, I have no idea. I don't think we can simply assume it should make sense that Minecarts (or anything else for that matter) takes damage based on rapid deceleration (i.e. hitting the ground). If a mob quickly smacks into a wall (except when wearing elytra), they do not take damage. As for going around the corners, the rails provide the force that changes the direction. The problem only comes if we decide that inertia is a thing, then we would get some serious centrifugal forces acting on that cart as it rounds the bend, so I'm neutral there. Basically though, everything you said can be explained by strong enough forces and not assuming damage should be taken based off of rapid deceleration.
The minecraft universe is the void, the dimensions beings spheres in the void. The land is flat and the sun and moon are only in the overworld dimension. The Stars show the glimpse of void. Each dimension is a snowglobe with the constituents of each dimension. This allows minecraft to be flat inside the snowglobe structure.

Just to clarify, the post is there only to be refined and discussed upon.
Speaking of discussing, I have a question.
What are mobs physically made of? Code, cells, (obviously blocktoms or the sort), what?
Purpur shouldn't be in there because it can be crafted from popped chorus fruit and is therefore organic.
Also, monster spawners should be in because they generate naturally, like end portal frames, and are not craftable.
Finally, red sand. It has the exact same properties as sand, but with a different color. I'm going to leave it out, but this is up for debate.

Hagetmau - in the middle of a beech forest...
The town of Hagetmau lies in the south-west of France, in the Landes department of Aquitaine, close to the Pyrénéan Mountains and the Basque coast. The name of Hagetmau means, literally translated from the original Gascon tongue, "in the middle of a beech forest", and it is from this proliferation of naturally available wood that the chief industry of the town, the construction of fine wooden furniture, sprung. Much of the Landes department is forested, with a variety of trees but including much pine.
All shops and services
Hagetmau is a lively, middle sized town, well equipped and well placed for easy access from the UK. Hagetmau offers all the usual shops and services associated with a town of its size, and in addition, is close enough to major towns such as Pau to be able to utilise the extra facilities that a large town or city can provide as well.
Attractive town in good location
The town is attractively placed, being set on a high point of land with excellent views, and is located in a handy part of the region for accessing not only airports for flights to and from the UK, but also for visiting the surf resorts of Biarritz and the Basque coast, and for trips across the border into Spain, where there is some excellent and very cheap shopping to be had in the border town of Irun.
There are a good number of restaurants in Hagetmau, as you might expect in a region that regards its gastronomy as of paramount importance to its identity. The local specialities include duck, in all its possible guises, as well as Foie Gras, delicious almond pastries and Armagnac.
Bloodless bullfights
If you are seeking an unusual form of entertainment you can find it in this area, as the special kind of (humane) bullfighting known as "Cours Landaise" takes place in many towns close to Hagetmau. In this genre of the sport, unlike that practiced so controversially in Spain, the bulls live to fight another day and it is the unarmed men who are most at risk.
Other activities available
Of course, there are many other activities open to you in the vicinity of Hagetmau, and these include horse-riding, golf, walking and cycling.
Hagetmau, being situated in the rural and sparsely populated department of the Landes, is an ideal base for anyone who loves the countryside and wild seascapes of the south-west of France. The beaches, famed far and wide for their surf and social life for the young and trendy, are within a very reasonable drive, and there are many lovely beauty spots and fascinating towns to visit too, such as the well known town of Mont de Marsan, close to Hagetmau. It is also perfectly possible to pop across the border to the Spanish town of Irun, which offers a great opportunity to experience the peculiarly buzzy atmosphere of a Spanish border town, and to pick up some bargains too.
You can fly to Pau, Biarritz or to Bordeaux, Pau being the nearest. Both Pau and Biarritz are served by Ryanair, while Bordeaux is served by British Airways, Aer Lingus, easyJet, and bmibaby. Rail travel is another possibility, as the super fast TGV runs to Bayonne, Bordeaux, Biarritz and Toulouse, from where you can catch linking trains to Mont de Marsan, which is the closest town to Hagetmau with a railway station. Hagetmau is then a short drive away. If you are driving, you will find the town from the A63 and A64 auto routes (depending on direction of travel).
Property prices and availability in and around Hagetmau
Property in the Landes is usually quite reasonably priced, as long as you keep away from the coast where the prices rise steeply as always. Hagetmau represents a good opportunity to purchase property in south-west France while prices are still uninflated by over popularity.
Do you know Hagetmau better than we do? Do you have photos of Hagetmau?

Interesting fact: The wooden furniture industry that is so important to Hagetmau is symbolised by a replica of a giant wooden chair, which can be seen from the town's bypass. A French "Angel of the North", perhaps?


Do you or your kids have a pile of old t-shirts/sweatshirts that have great memories and you don't want to throw them away? Let me make a custom quilt with those shirts. Great for birthday, Christmas or graduation gifts. Simply send 20 clean t-shirts (no fabric softener please). I will then cut the shirts into 12.5" squares. Quilt with 20 squares will be 48x60. (Quilts shown in photos are bigger than what you will get.) I do not add batting, as that makes for a very heavy quilt, but I do use a light fusible interfacing on the shirts for durability and stability. T-shirts on the front and fleece on the back. No sashing or trim. Then I machine stitch between each row of shirts. They are great for use while watching TV or for your college child to take to school as a comforting reminder of home.
The price listed is for a 20-square quilt with you providing the fleece backing (two yards).
Contact me for other sizes and prices. If you want to incorporate special outfits, bibs, pants, etc. like I show in my photos, contact me.
Place your order and get your shirts to me 4-6 weeks before the event. If you are local and can drop off the shirts and then can pick up the completed quilt, I will refund shipping costs.
All work is done in a smoke-free environment.

Combination Therapy an Affordable Option for Hepatitis C Treatment
Kenny Walter
There is a need for cost-effective treatments for HCV in low-income countries.
More affordable direct-acting antiviral treatments are needed to treat hepatitis c virus (HCV) infections in low and middle-income countries. One potential answer is the combination of ravidasvir, a pangenotypic non-structural protein 5A (NS5A) inhibitor, and sofosbuvir, which has shown efficacy and safety for patients with chronic HCV genotype 4 infections.
A team, led by Isabelle Andrieux-Meyer, MD, assessed the efficacy and safety of ravidasvir plus sofosbuvir in a diverse population of adults with chronic HCV infections.
In the two-stage, open-label, phase 2/3 single-arm STORM-C-1 trial, the researchers examined HCV patients in 6 public academic and non-academic centers in Malaysia and 4 public academic and non-academic centers in Thailand.
Eligible patients included HCV with compensated cirrhosis (Metavir F4 and Child-Turcotte-Pugh class A) or without cirrhosis (Metavir F0–3) aged 18–69 years were eligible to participate, regardless of HCV genotype, HIV infection status, previous interferon-based HCV treatment, or source of HCV infection.
Differences in Genotypes
Of the 301 patients enrolled in stage 1 of the study, 98 (33%) patients had genotype 1a infection, 27 (9%) had genotype 1b infection, two (1%) had genotype 2 infection, 158 (52%) had genotype 3 infection, and 16 (5%) had genotype 6 infection.
In addition, 81 (27%) patients had compensated cirrhosis, 90 (30%) had HIV co-infection, and 99 (33%) had received previous interferon-based treatment.
The treatment included once daily ravidasvir (200 mg) and sofosbuvir (400 mg) for 12 weeks without cirrhosis and for 24 weeks for patients with cirrhosis.
The investigators sought primary endpoints of sustained virological response at 12 weeks following treatment (SVR12), defined as HCV RNA 12 IU/mL in Thailand and HCV RNA <15 IU/mL in Malaysia at 12 weeks after the end of treatment.
There were some common treatment-emergent adverse events found in the study, including pyrexia (n = 35; 12%), cough (n = 26; 9%), upper respiratory tract infection (n = 23; 8%), and headache (n = 20; 7%).
However, there were no deaths or treatment discontinuations caused by serious adverse events in the study and of the 300 patients included in the final analysis, 291 (97%; 95% CI, 94-99) achieved SVR12.
SVR12 was also reported in 78 (96%) patients with cirrhosis and 153 (97%) patients with genotype 3 infection, including 51 (96%) patients with cirrhosis.
Finally, there was no difference in SVR12 rates by HIV co-infection or previous interferon treatment.
"In this first stage, ravidasvir plus sofosbuvir was effective and well tolerated in this diverse adult population of patients with chronic HCV infection," the authors wrote. "Ravidasvir plus sofosbuvir has the potential to provide an additional affordable, simple, and efficacious public health tool for large-scale implementation to eliminate HCV as a cause of morbidity and mortality."
The study, "Efficacy and safety of ravidasvir plus sofosbuvir in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis (STORM-C-1): interim analysis of a two-stage, open-label, multicenter, single arm, phase 2/3 trial," was published online in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology.

Calella de Palafrugell is one of the Costa Brava's gems. It's a small town on the coast with whitewashed houses, good restaurants and completely unspoilt by high rises or tacky tourism. The town runs along the coast over a series of small bays and coves. As a result there isn't a single town beach, but several different beaches nestling in among the low cliffs and rocky rises. Traditional Calella de Palafrugell was a small fishing village and it still has fishing boats on the beach or out into the water. The town is very picturesque, but it also looks out to the headland of Cap Roig and the islands of the Formigues site of a Catalan naval battle in 1281. There are four beach areas each of them is relatively small so they can get crowded. The first beach from the direction of Llafranc is Platja Canadell. The main (smallest) beach in the centre of town is Port Bo. This is the site of the main Havaneres festival (sea shanties) in July. South from the town are the two beaches of Port Pelegri - the beaches share the same bay, but divided by rocks. Further south before Cap Roig is the pebbly beach at Golfet. Calella de Palafrugell is also an easy walk to Llafranc.
Canadell is the largest of the beaches (though still relatively small). It sits under a promenade with a number of old traditional Indianer houses. On the promenade itself above the beach are a number of bars and resturants and at the left hand end looking out to sea is the Hotel de la Torre, site of the historic watchtower for Calella. Under the promenade are a number of beach huts, some of which have been converted into bars. The beach has a boat taxi service out to the numerous boats that moor at Calella. The beach has lifeguards and it is possible to rent canoes.
Port Bo is the smallest of the beaches, but the most central. Bars and restaurants practically fall onto the beach and there is a raised wooden walk way where you pass so close to the people eating that you could pick at the plates. This beach is used by the fishing boats and has a number of rocky outcrops that are readily used as scramble and play areas. It's less used for swimming than the other beaches.
Port Pelegri splits in two and to reach both sides you have to take the path and steps from the promenade just in front of Hotel Mediterrani. The other hotel over looking the beach is Hotel Sant Roc which has private steps down to the sea. At sea level the beaches have houses/huts cut into the rocks and these have typically been turned into beach-side bars and restaurants now but without spoiling the charm of the beach. There are lifeguards and showers at beach level.
Golfet is the furthest beach from the town centre and is practically a wild beach. You can reach it via the Cami de Ronda that runs around the bays through a series of tunnels cut into the rocks, or from the top via steps (there is parking higher up). The beach itself is pebbly and unspoilt, but in some ways this is it's main charm - it's not touristy and has a very natural setting with a pillar of rock to the left and cliffs above. The bay is sandy initially then rocky which make it easy to enter the water.
All the bays are marked off with buoys for swimming.
The sand is generally coarse with the exception of Golfet which is made up of pebbles. The bays themselves are rocky but there is a run of sand before the rocks so getting in the water you can wade without a rocky surface. The exception is Canadell where the rocky part of the bay comes quite quickly in some places which can make the transition from warm on the beach to cool in the water difficult on the feet. Here, the best place to enter the water to start with is just in front of canoe area as the sand extends further into the bay.
Swimming is excellent particularly if you like to see fish. The beaches slope quickly into the water and the bays are rocky when you are in the water - hence the number of fish. Being quite sheltered, the water is rarely wavy and typically smooth and clear. In certain bays the rocks in the bay get quite close to the surface, so it's advisable to wear goggles. Stopping in the middle of the bay to admire the view, in some places you can find your feet kicking rocks.
Canadell is long enough to allow for a good distance swim and 'laps', but Port Pelegri has the longest stretch of water once you get out to the buoys.
Do watch out for the boat markings and if you do decide to cross a channel (eg to make a longer swim) keep an eye out for the boats. Calella is popular with sailors, so there are several channels for the sea-taxis ferrying people in and out of the town and these tend to be quite busy.
Parking in Calella can be difficult at peak times. There is a pay-for multistory just above the town centre which tends to be quiet as most people try to park on the main connecting road above the beaches. The chances are that you will find a space, but you may need to walk a little to reach the sea.
The GR92 runs past Calella de Palafrugell. There is a very easy well walked route around the headland to Llafranc. To the south the GR92 takes you past Cap Roig and out to the wild beaches of the Cap Roig/Castell protected area. There is also good walking inland through Ermedas or to Palafrugall and Mont-ras.

Mark LeVine Comments on Jewish Journal Op-ed
by Mark LeVine
https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/22609/mark-levine-comments-on-jewish-journal-op-ed
Editor's note: University of California, Irvine history professor Mark LeVine posted the following in the comments section for the Kenneth Stern op-ed, "Should a Major University System Have a Particular Definition of anti-Semitism?" at the Jewish Journal. It appears unedited and in its entirety:
I appreciate the author's attempt to bring nuance to this charged debate. However, the definition he helped create is fundamentally flawed, as evidenced by his own description of what constitutes anti-Semitism: He writes, "There is no doubt that many of the proponents of BDS have an antisemitic [sic] agenda: they want to deny Jews the right of self-determination in a land of their own, the same right they champion for Palestinians. In essence, they want to undo events of 1948, not just those of 1967."
I am Jewish, and I have lived in Israel, speak Hebrew fluently and have numerous family and friends there. Yet by this account, I am anti-Semitic. "Championing" a "land for their own" for Jews is fundamentally not the same as doing so for Palestinians in the context of this conflict because Palestinians were the indigenous inhabitants when Jews immigrated or returned to Palestine/Eretz Yisrael with a nationalist agenda. Zionism, whatever it's democratic and progressive pretentions, was in the words of pioneering Israeli sociologist Gershon Shafir, a "settler colonial" and then "militant nationalist movement" almost from the moment it arrived in the country. It was realized largely and tragically through the dispossession of hundreds of thousands and ultimately millions of Palestinians. This is a fact of history that can no more be argued by serious people than can climate change or evolution. To this very day, in particular during a generation of an Oslo peace process that was supposed to produce a Palestinian state that was territorially and economically viable, successive Israeli governments--Labor as well as Likud--doubled the number of settlers and in every imaginable way tightened Israel's control over and presence in the West Bank. Oslo has shown the reality that Zionism from the start and till today has been about settlement, not security. If it was about security, Israel could have maintained a military occupation to this very day while remaining under the framework of int'l law. More than half a million settlers and hundreds of settlements and outposts later, and innumerable statements by most every major politician that they have no plans to give up the West Bank, and it's clear that the Israeli state and the majority of the people are not willing to give Palestinians any kind of independence and want to maintain and permanentize [sic] the Occupation.
To those of us who study Zionism, this was never surprising, because Israeli/Zionist nationalist has from the start been exlcusivist [sic] and built upon denying the same rights to Palestinians. It is in this context that the vast majority of supporters of BDS, including the rapidly growing number of Jewish and Israeli supporters, oppose not merely Israeli policy but the Isareli [sic] state as its presently conceived of and acts--as an ethnocratic, exclusivist state built upon decades of occupation and no willingness to relinquish these claims.
I want to "undo the events of 1948," but not because I hate Israel or am anti-Semitic. Rather, it's because I stay true to the Prophetic Judaism that has always been the core of my identity and the ideals of human rights and democracy for all that they demand. There are many alternatives to the present Israeli political system--confederation, parallel states, binationalism. Advocating for them, and even for the end of a Zionist state cannot be equated with anti-Semitism. The fact that someone as thoughtful as the author so uncritically assumes they do shows how problemetic [sic] this definition of anti-Semitism remains and why, as Mr. Stern advocates, it's not appropriate--not merely for universities, but for any use at all.

                android:src="@drawable/meals_line_shadow_right" />
        </LinearLayout>

The problem is that I can't see the right imageView:

I need solve that without using absolute size (It works with absolute values).
I'll be happy for any suggestions for fixing or alternatives

A: The solution is simple:
<TableLayout
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:stretchColumns="0" >

an academy take a step towards efficiency education
As Allan Bloom said, "Education is the movement from darkness to light", it means that education is the only means that contributes to the growth of the people. Thus, the literacy rate contributes directly to the development of the country. The maximum number of educated people in a country describes the growth and well-being of that country. To increase this rate, the government always comes up with different programs and policies that help in the education of students. Besides the government, many private institutions and organizations also contribute to this good deed.
Among these private institutions, this time a name that has come out to support and promote quality education is Unacademy, which is considered the pioneer in the field of education. The Edtech unicorn, Unacademy, launched a big new announcement on Monday evening that marked its strong foothold in the world of education and for student efficiency and convenience. The announcement was such that they are launching 50 new channels to promote online education which would benefit students in various fields and sectors. The news was revealed during the company's inaugural SoftBank-backed "Unacademy One" flagship event, which was attended by top educators from across the country.
Vivek Sinha, COO of Unacademy, said, "We are reinforcing our commitment to democratizing education and presenting a strong content strategy for learners who seek knowledge in unique and exciting ways." "Plus, we're extending our focus to the wider community and there can't be a better opportunity than today to share it with everyone." He further announced that the education channel covers all major criteria such as NEET, JEE, UPSC and other competitive government sectors like Defense, SSC, Banking and Railways. Apart from these, other post-graduation courses are also available. Each channel will be equipped with the facilities of the best educators for a better learning experience. These educators will curate high-quality content for learners. Few names of educators are Mrunal Patel, Anand Mani, Mohit Bhargava, Ashish Arora and much more.
The Marketing Director of Unacademy Karan Shroff quoted "When it comes to the direction Unacademy is taking, it's all about expansion and growth. That's why we're launching these channels. They will be led by over 250 top educators. Unacademy recently said it focused on frugality as a core value. It bets on profitability and aims for an IPO in two years. The founders have suffered a pay cut and "some companies" are closed, according to Gaurav Munjal, co-founder and CEO of 'Unacademy Group.
