Obama Admin Not Telling Women Ella Drug Causes Abortions
Opinion | Bill Saunders and Evangeline Jones | Mar 22, 2012 | 12:37PM | Washington, DC
Women are not being told the truth by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Two HHS informational documents on emergency contraception fail to address ella or its abortion-inducing effects. These omissions deny women information necessary for freely-chosen and informed medical decisions. The absence of adequate information about ella is particularly problematic for women with conscience concerns about life-ending contraceptives, because ella's mode of action goes beyond that of any other FDA-approved emergency contraceptive that has abortifacient effects. (In an article by Jonathan Imbody, he pointed to similar defects in these documents concerning "Plan B," another "emergency contraceptive.")
The chemical composition of ella is similar to the abortion drug, RU-486. Like RU-486, ella is a selective progesterone receptor modulator. Both ella and RU-486 act by blocking progesterone, a hormone needed to build and maintain the uterine wall during pregnancy. Medical studies show that not only can both drugs prevent a developing human embryo from implanting in the uterus, but also they can kill an implanted embryo by starving it to death.[1]
The FDA's own label for ella acknowledges that it may "affect implantation": "[A]lterations to the endometrium that may affect implantation may also contribute to efficacy."[2] At the FDA advisory panel meeting for ella, Dr. Scott Emerson, a professor of biostatistics and panelist, noted that the low pregnancy rate for women taking ella four or five days after intercourse suggests the drug must have an "abortifacient"[3] quality.
The FDA's controversial decision to approve ella in August, 2010, drew a well-publicized reaction. Nevertheless, the most recent version of HHS's fact sheet[4] on emergency contraception issued by the HHS Office of Women's Health, with "content last updated November 21, 2011," completely leaves out any mention of ella.
Another HHS information document,[5] prepared by HHS's Office of Population Affairs, lists ella as an emergency contraceptive and states that a prescription is necessary to purchase it. No further information is provided.
Studies confirm that women care about how their "contraceptive" works.[6] Moreover, for women concerned about post-fertilization effects of a birth control method, at least one study has found that whether that was the primary mechanism of action was less important than the fact that it can have such a life-ending effect, "[f]or those women who would not use or would stop using a method acting after fertilization, it did not matter whether such effects were common or rare."[7]
Clearly these two HHS documents are grossly inadequate to inform women on what ella is and how it works. Without accurate information, women are denied the opportunity to make their own decisions based upon facts.

Yesterday I was researching blogs for a client and I came across an opinion-leader and author who was a good fit for my client's audience.
The thing is, upon reading one of the posts it quickly became apparent that that influencer who "wrote" it didn't write it at all.
The post was full of errors, terrible English and, to be honest, it looked like it had been badly transcribed from audio.
This post does not convey trust, unfortunately.
If you want to leverage content marketing, creating garbage like this just doesn't cut it.
You risk ruining your reputation and you show your audience you just don't care.
One of the reasons I created Writally was to address this problem. I don't want you to add to the pile of crap on the internet. I want you to cut through it and get noticed, seen and heard.
Your content can make or break your reputation. Don't leave it in the hands of someone ill-qualified to convey your expertise if you value your reputation.

Want to go to space? Here's what you need to know
Most of us would have never imagined traveling to outer space in our lives, but these days, it's looking ever more possible for the average Joe to go into orbit—or at least, an average Joe with bags of money.
This month, Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic announced it is going public and is preparing to send its first customers into space within a year. More than 600 people have placed deposits topping $80 million in total thus far, while another 2,500 want to get in line. Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin is also keen to send people into space, while Elon Musk announced last year that his company, SpaceX, has a customer lined up who will pay to fly around the moon. On top of that, NASA made a change in policy and said it would allow space tourists to visit the International Space Station as soon as next year.
At the moment it seems space, the final frontier "where no man has gone before", may soon be full of humans casually passing by with cameras and intergalactic passports. If you're keen to get in on the action, here's everything you need to know to become a potential space explorer. READ MORE

Watch: Rare Tiger Family Caught on Video in China
The footage may show that Siberian tigers are rebounding in China, where the subspecies had been hunted nearly to extinction.
ByStefan SirucekNational Geographic
Newly captured video shows a Siberian tiger family playing—the first recorded images of the extremely endangered big cat in inland China.
Fewer than 400 Siberian, or Amur, tigers—one of six surviving tiger subspecies—remain in their Russian and Chinese habitats, having dwindled due to extensive hunting over the past century. (See National Geographic's tiger pictures.)
Most of the animals live in Russia, where it's illegal to hunt them, or near the Russian-Chinese border, but the big cats have struggled to regain a foothold in China.
The Siberian tiger's fate fits an overall trend of tiger decline: Scientists estimate there are around 3,200 animals in the wild, down from an estimated 100,000 at the beginning of the 20th century.
Now the most recent footage, shot by the conservation group WWF in northern China's Wangqing Nature Reserve, is proof that Siberian tiger populations are moving farther into China and breeding there, Nilanga Jayasinghe, a program officer with WWF's Wildlife Conservation team, said by email.
"It is a huge success resulting from decades of conservation work to establish a breeding population of tigers in China," Jayasinghe said. (Also see "India's Tigers May Be Rebounding, in Rare Success for Endangered Species.")
"There is still a lot of work to be done, but efforts to restore habitat; bring back prey species; and increase protection for tiger populations in the Chinese portion of the Amur tiger's range are showing positive results like this family captured on film."
But Dale Miquelle, director of the Wildlife Conservation Society's Russia Program, cautioned against saying tigers have reestablished themselves in China. (Learn about National Geographic's Big Cats Initiative.)
"Numbers may be slightly increasing in China, and the evidence of reproducing females is encouraging, but it is still a tiny population of, at most, a dozen or so. There is a long way to go before we can say that there is a viable population living in China," he said by email.
"So this is a nice confirmation and interesting footage, but not really new."
Giving Chinese Tigers a Chance
To Miquelle, "the last chance to save tigers anywhere in China is probably the two northernmost provinces of China—Jilin and Heilongjiang. Here there is connectivity with tigers and tiger habitat in Russia, and dispersal can and is naturally occurring. So there is a natural source for recovery of tigers here."
However, human encroachment on their habitat continues. "Snares, inadequate prey base, and habitat loss are still the largest threats," said Miquelle. (See "Pictures: The World's Tigers—There Are Only 3,200 Left in the Wild.")
"Recent camera-trap photos of a tiger on the Russian side of the border with what looks like snare wounds around the neck suggest snaring ... is still a problem."
He added that China could help its nascent tiger population by simply giving it room to grow, protecting the animals from poachers, and providing enough prey. (See "Activist's Art Puts Spotlight on Threats to Tigers")
"China could make a huge contribution to ensuring a future for wild Siberian tigers."

THE FOUNDING OF THE ORDER
Dominic and his companions first discussed the founding of an Order seriously during 1213 and 1214 at Fanjeaux. In the spring of 1215 Bishop Fulk of Toulouse established them as a preaching brotherhood for his diocese and Dominic received the vows of Thomas and Peter Seila, citizens of Toulouse. Seila deeded some houses he owned to the Order, one of which (the larger) became the Order's first priory when Dominic and the brethren took up their residence there. Soon afterwards the bishop gave the church of St. Romanus to the brothers.
The next step was to obtain papal confirmation of the foundation. The opportunity came when Bishop Fulk set out for Rome in 1215, with Dominic in his company, to attend the Fourth Lateran Council (November 1215).
Pope Innocent was petitioned to confirm the new foundation as a religious Order. On the agenda for the fourth Lateran Council was a proposal to prohibit the founding of new religious Orders. To surmount it, Innocent advised Dominic to choose one of the existing religious Rules. He promised that when this had been done, he would confirm the Order.
In the spring of 1216, Dominic and the friars chose the Rule of St. Augustine and framed statutes to supplement it. These became the first half of the permanent Constitutions of the Order. Adapted from the Constitutions of Premontre, they regulated the religious life of the friars. Nothing was legislated to govern the Order's apostolate until four years later. Dominic waited to learn from experience what laws and organisation would best suit an Order of Preachers.
In October 1216 the friars added to the property of St. Romanus' church and began to build a cloister with cells above it suitable for study and sleeping. Returning to Rome, Dominic obtained both the confirmation of his Order as he conceived it as well as the other things he desired for the work of the Order. On 22nd December, Honorius III (Innocent III had died in July) granted a bull of confirmation, approving the Order as a body of Canons Regular. A second bull, issued on 21st January 1217, recognised the newness of Dominic's ideas and approved the foundation as an Order of Preachers.

Q: iOS: 3 UILabels under each other constraints I have 3 UILabesunder each other. Top constraint of the first one is 20 to superview, second one is 20 to first label. 3rd is 20 to the second one. But sometimes first and second label's texts are empty. And I just want to make my 3rd label become 20 to superview, but when my constraints are set it becomes 20+20+20 to superview.
Is it possible to fix this only using storyboard or I have to use some code.
I am sorry for my poor english, help me out.

A: You can do that programmatically, Take the Outlet of the Height and Top Space constraints of all Labels.
Check for Labels text, if blank then set Height and Top Space constraints Constant to 0.
Like,
If First label text is blank then Set 1st label Height constraint Constant to 0 and Top Space constraint Constant to 0. Same way you can check for other labels.

A: Considering your requirement i have created one demo for it with 3 labels. But i have added those 3 labels in Stack View with vertical orientation. And then i have added one button in UIView outside of Stack View, then on button click i have hidden 2nd label. Doing this i got the result which you need.
@IBAction func btnClicked(sender: AnyObject) {
    lbl2.hidden = true
}

Hope this helps.

A: You can add each label inside a UIView. Make the top Label constraint to be 20 to superview (in this case will be 20 to top of the container UIView).
Then make UIView 1 to have top 0 to superview. UIView 2 to have top 0 to UIView 1 and UIView 3 to be 0 to UIView 2.
Then you can hide each UIView, when you don't have any text in it's corresponding UILabel so they will display nicely.

Alabama's Priores Sustineo of a Blogger

"I was the only jailed journalist in the Western Hemisphere for 2013"
After spending five months locked up for contempt of court, an Alabama blogger was released from the Shelby County jail on March 26, 2014. Roger Shuler writes and publishes a blog on Alabama law and politics called "Legal Schnauzer." He had been accused of defamation and was ordered to stop writing about a prominent Alabama attorney, Robert R. Riley, the son of a former Alabama Governor. Mr. Riley was rumored to be planning a run for Congress at the time.
SHUT UP, SHULER!
Mr. Shuler asserted he was never personally served with the Court's "gag order" and had continued writing about the potential future congressman. Mr. Shuler's posts alleged Mr. Riley was having an extra-martial affair and impregnated a local lobbyist named Liberty Duke (can't make this up). Mr. Riley filed a Petition with the Court and requested Mr. Shuler and his wife be locked up for violating the Court's Orders by continuing to post defamatory statements.
Shortly after Mr. Shuler was jailed in late October 2013, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press (RCFP), a non-profit legal assistance organization, sent a letter to the presiding Judge. The RCFP's letter requested The Honorable Claude D. Neilson to reconsider his decision that censored and confined the blogger. The RCFP argued Mr. Shuler's jailing for contempt of court was an unconstitutional prior restraint on speech in violation of the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment.
SEALED SHUT
Prior Restraint is when the government makes you shut your mouth before you can even open it–more descriptively called "Pre-Publication Censorship." The RCFP's letter succinctly laid out the law for one of the most egregious types of censorship and First Amendment violation:
The Supreme Court has never upheld a prior restraint, or a government prohibition on speech. In Nebraska Press Association v. Stuart, it found these bans on speech presumptively unconstitutional and called them "the most serious and the least tolerable infringement on First Amendment rights." 427 U.S. 539, 558-59 (1976). See also Near v. State of Minnesota ex rel. Olson, 283 U.S. 697, 713 (1931) (calling prior restraint "the essence of censorship.") The Supreme Court has speculated that prior restraints may only be allowed to prevent disclosure of information that would provide troop locations in wartime or "set in motion a nuclear holocaust." Id. at 716.
First Amendment Freedom Fighters
The blogger's wife had to take down the blog posts to spring Mr. Shuler out of jail. Mr. Shuler writes well, but I'll tell you, his posts about the alleged illicit affair were not as torrid, dangerous or inflammatory as an actual nuclear holocaust.
Shuler plans to sue.

Musings from a Middle Aged Man
Taking photographs of things that are plainly visible from public spaces is a constitutional right – and that includes federal buildings, transportation facilities, and police and other government officials carrying out their duties. Unfortunately, there is a widespread, continuing pattern of law enforcement officers ordering people to stop taking photographs from public places, and harassing, detaining and arresting those who fail to comply.
Your rights as a photographer:
When in public spaces where you are lawfully present you have the right to photograph anything that is in plain view. That includes pictures of federal buildings, transportation facilities, and police. Such photography is a form of publicoversight over the government and is important in a free society.
When you are on private property, the property owner may set rules about the taking of photographs. If you disobey the property owner's rules, they can order you off their property (and have…

Bus Simulator 18 (also known as Bus Simulator on consoles) is a bus simulator game developed by Stillalive Studios and published by Astragon Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It is powered by Unreal Engine 4 and was initially available on the 13th of June 2018 worldwide. It is the fifth game in the Bus Simulator franchise and is the direct sequel to Bus Simulator 16. A sequel titled Bus Simulator 21 was released in 2021.

Gameplay

Bus Simulator 18 features a sizable map of a fictional modern city consisting of twelve districts, which is 2.5 times bigger than Bus Simulator 16. The game allows players to drive eight licensed vehicles from four different bus manufacturers including Iveco, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, and Setra ranging from low-floor buses to articulated buses. Like its predecessor, the game also uses a procedural generation system that requires players to complete different missions to unlock new districts. Management-wise, players are able to create their own bus lines, as well as buying, selling and upgrading buses.

Development and release
An in-game trailer was released in May 2018. In comparison to the Unity-based Bus Simulator 16, Bus Simulator 18 is powered by Unreal Engine 4, which shows considerably improved graphics. It was released to Microsoft Windows in June 2018, with modding and multiplayer mode were featured for the first time in the Bus Simulator series. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were later available in August 2019 titled Bus Simulator. A map expansion downloadable content was released in May 2019.

Reception

Bus Simulator 18 received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.

Chris Jarrard of Shacknews gave a 6 to the game, writing "Bus Simulator 18 is not a game changer and to be honest, it's not the most rewarding experience I've ever had in front of my PC." He had three major issues of the game — a lack of content, multiplayer bugs, and a boring campaign.

Chris O'Connor of Impulse Gamer rated it 4 out of 5. He considered the game to be quite relaxing, but he considered its content not deep enough.

Alec Meer of Rock, Paper, Shotgun enjoyed the atmosphere in the game, which is so great that he even would like to become a bus driver. He says "Bus Simulator 18 leaves me with a deep sympathy for bus drivers and a great terror that I might ever become one."

Andy Kelly of PC Gamer compared the game with the similar-genre video game Euro Truck Simulator 2 of SCS Software, commenting the game maybe not as good as the truck-simulator, but it is full of interaction, which is what the Truck Simulator franchise is missing.

Since the beginning, Geebo has always had user safety in mind. Not just personal safety but financial and emotional safety as well. Many of the safety choices made by Geebo have gone against what many would consider industry standards. However, we've always stood by those choices and have challenged other online marketplaces to do the same. For example, other classifieds sites rely on users to flag potentially fraudulent ads. This has led to abuses of the flagging system on other sites. Instead, Geebo employs a trained staff to moderate each ad for potentially fraudulent or illegal activity and the innovation doesn't stop there.
In 2010, Geebo took a stand against sites like Craigslist and Backpage by engaging in an anti-human trafficking campaign designed to bring awareness to the plight of victims trafficked through Geebo's competitors. In that same year, Geebo closed its personal ads section due to the amount of trafficking that took place in the personals section of other sites. Even though there were no reported incidents about Geebo's personals Geebo felt the removal of the section was necessary to further ensure user safety.
In 2011, Geebo CEO Greg Collier wrote an open letter to other online classifieds asking them to take user safety more seriously by implementing such measures as moderating ads and removing adult-oriented ads. Many of those challenges were largely unheeded by other classifieds sites until media and government pressure forced them to remove their adult sections and their other ads are still largely unmoderated.
In January 2013, Geebo made the decision to stop accepting ads for pets. In a company blog post, CEO Greg Collier noted puppy mills that sell abused or sick animals commonly use online classifieds.
In May 2015, Geebo partnered with the AIM Group's SafeTrade Station initiative in order to provide a list of safe trading spots at police stations across the country. Each Geebo ad contains a link to the SafeTrade Stations website so users can find a safe location to make their transactions.
In 2016, in response to the Orlando nightclub shooting and other mass shootings, Geebo stopped accepting ads for firearms even though no firearms-related crimes were ever linked to Geebo.
That brings us to Geebo's latest innovation for user safety. Since late 2018, Geebo staff have been monitoring the responses to ads made through the Geebo platform. By doing this we can determine if the responses are coming from overseas which largely indicates that the ad's respondent is more than likely a scammer. It also allows us to detect potential fraud from inside the country since our staff is trained in the detection of the most commonly used scams. We believe this proactive stance against scammers will go a long way in protecting the safety of our customers. While other sites and apps in our industry may see this as going above and beyond the call of duty we believe it's the most logical and needed step in consumer protection.


Herman Van Rompuy's day job is president of the European Council–so he's more or less the president of the European Union. But after the day's travails, he likes to unwind by composing haiku, 17-syllable poems. His efforts have been collected into a book, which came out this month. To better reach Europeans of all stripes, the poems were published in English, French, Dutch, German and Latin. For the Pope, I guess.


The new malware tool targeting Windows and Linux systems combines cryptomining, ransomware, botnet, and self-propagation capabilities.
Adding to the rapidly growing list of multi-functional malware, a particularly nasty – and unique — data-destroying malware tool has been discovered that combines botnet, coin mining, ransomware, and self-propagation capabilities.
The malware, which researchers at Palo Alto Network's Unit 42 group has named Xbash, is targeting Linux and Windows servers and contains capabilities that when fully implemented can help it spread very quickly inside an organization's network.
Researchers from Palo Alto Network say their analysis shows the malware is being used to target Linux servers for their ransomware and botnet capabilities, and Windows servers for coin mining and self-propagation purposes.
Xbash's ransomware capabilities are designed to target and delete Linux-based databases. Worse, the malware appears to contain no functionality at all for helping victims recover lost data in the event they end up paying the demanded ransom.
So far, at least 48 victims have paid a total of $6,000 to the attackers, but there is no evidence that any of them were able to recover data that Xbash might have deleted, Palo Alto Networks said in an advisory Monday.
"Taken as a whole, we've not [before] seen this combination of ransomware, coinmining, worm capabilities, and targeting both Linux and Windows systems," says Ryan Olson, vice president of threat intelligence at Unit 42.
The malware appears to be the work of Iron Group, a threat actor associated with previous ransomware attacks and for spreading cryptocurrency mining tools mostly in Windows environments. With Xbash, the group appears to have broadened their targets to include Linux systems as well.
Unlike other recent Linux malware such as Gafgyt and Mirai, which scan for vulnerable devices using randomly generated IP addresses, Xbash scans for them also by domain name. The capability makes it harder for defenders to spot Xbash using honeypots, which are typically deployed with IP addresses only.
"Xbash uses a list of IP addresses and domains provided by its C2 to scan for specific open ports, weak credentials, or three known vulnerabilities in Hadoop, Redis and ActiveMQ — which it uses for self-propagation," Olson notes.
Two of the three vulnerabilities have no formal CVE number assigned to them. One of them is an unauthenticated command execution flaw in Hadoop YARN that was first disclosed in October 2016; the Redis flaw is from October 2015 and gives attackers a way to remotely execute files of their choice on a target machine. The third-flaw — n Active MQ — enables arbitrary file writes and has an assigned CVE number (CVE-2016-3088).
When it is exploiting a vulnerable Redis instance, Xbash is capable of determining whether it is running on a Windows system so the malware can then download and execute a coinminer it.
If the target that Xbash is scanning happens to be an IP address, it tries to scan multiple UDP and TCP ports. Among them are ports used by HTTP services, VMC, MySQL, Telnet, FTP, NTP, DNS and LDAP. If certain ports happen to be open—such as those used by VNC, MySQL and PostgreSQL—the malware uses a weak username and password dictionary—to brute force its way into the service.
"Xbash uses weak passwords in its attacks against both Windows systems and Linux services," Olson says. "It uses both a built-in dictionary and also updates from its C2 server with an additional set of weak passwords."
When Xbash breaks into a service such as MySQL or MongoDB, it immediately deletes almost all the databases on the server and serves up a ransom message. "Because the malware deletes the databases based on brute forcing weak credentials for specific services, it could also happen on Windows with the same open ports/services and weak credentials," Olson warns.
The samples of Xbash that researchers at Palo Alto Networks analyzed show that the authors of Xbash are developing a new capability that will let the malware scan infected networks for other vulnerable servers. The capability has not yet been enabled, but if it is, Xbash will be able to spread quickly within an infected network like the WannaCray and Petya/NotPetya ransomware did.
For organizations, multi-functional and highly modular malware tools are quickly becoming a new threat. In recent weeks, several security vendors have issued warnings about malware tools capable of carrying out multiple malicious functions or of being modified after installation to do different things.
Proofpoint, for instance, recently warned about AdvisorsBot and Marap, two modular tools that allow criminals to add new functions to malware that has already been installed on a system. In an August advisory, Kaspersky Lab said it had observed a near doubling of multipurpose Remote Access Tools being distributed via botnets over the past 18 months or so, from 6.5% to 12.2%.
The trend highlights the need for a more high-level approach to defending against threats. "Organizations and defenders are better off focusing on prevention than specific threats," Olson notes. "A threat-based approach against Xbash would require multiple threats against multiple vectors, which is not scalable and is inherently advantageous to the attackers."


Did you know a regular massage can work as a stress buster and help speed up recovery from an injury? Not only this, there are additional benefits of weekly massage at Aura Wellness Spa NYC that can help improve your quality of life and boost health. Let's dig deeper into these benefits and see why weekly massage therapy is important.
Research reveals that regular massage sessions help lower stress hormone, cortisol. A rise in stress hormone kills the cells critical to the functioning of your immune system, which ultimately lowers your body's ability to fight infection.
Massage reduces stress levels by bringing down cortisol production in the body, thus boosting immunity.
Regular massage is integral to pain management. A massage therapist typically focuses on stiff muscles and problem areas, using gentle massage moves to loosen stiffness and increase blood flow to the aching site. With improved blood circulation to a problem area, you can experience temporary relief from pain, which could be emanating from arthritis, injury, or any other condition.
If you suffer from blood pressure issues, regular sessions of massage at Korean spa NYC can offer relief from hypertension. Different massage strokes stimulate pressure receptors, prompting action from the vagus nerve that regulates blood pressure. According to a study conducted by the University of South Florida, regular massage can have significant improvement in blood pressure.
Gentle human touch can be incredibly therapeutic. A regular massage therapy can be significantly relaxing for the body and the soul. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, massage benefits depression, stress, and anxiety in patients by boosting serotonin and dopamine levels and reducing cortisol production in the body. This helps reduce stress, which further makes you feel relaxed and happy.
According to a 2005 study, women undergoing breast cancer treatment reported being less depressed and anxious after receiving a weekly massage therapy. The study was published in the International Journal of Neuroscience.
You may be surprised to find that a massage therapy session can work magic on your energy levels. One holistic healing session of massage at Korean spa NYC and you will walk out feeling energized. This may be due to the release of endorphins induced by massage. Not only this, massage is a valuable tool to solve sleep problems. If you experience insomnia, you may want to attend a massage healing session to heal your mind and reduce stress. With stress and anxiety gone, you can enjoy a good night's sleep.
When you are down and out, your inner voice tries to undermine your self-worth. More often than not, you tend to hear your conscience telling you that you're a waste, you're too dumb, or you're not worth getting happiness or success in life. However, a regular massage session can overhaul your thought process, alleviate symptoms of stress and anxiety, induce positive thoughts, and make you feel self-confident.
A stiff neck, sore hands, tight shoulders, and back pain are all too common among office workers. If you, too, spend your days in front of a computer screen, it can affect your posture. These symptoms can affect your quality of life and reduce the range of motion. With regular massage at midtown spa NYC, the inflamed muscles can feel relaxed, so you can become more flexible and stretch better.

Hope: The Killer of Giants
David Dispatches Goliath
by Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens
(Wednesday of the of the Second Week in Ordinary Time-Year 2; This homily was given on 20 January, 2010 at the Chapel of The American College of the Immaculate Conception in Louvain, Belgium; See 1 Samuel 17:31-51)
What would have possibly possessed young David, in our first reading today, to believe that he could come up against such a lethal, malicious enemy as Goliath…and win? How could he have entered into combat with that mighty Philistine so completely sure of the victory?
Was it perhaps the recklessness of youth? His radical inexperience? Maybe he simply had not seen enough of the battlefield to know how very dire his situation was?
Was it perhaps supreme confidence in his own skill and ability? Remember, this is the same David who will quickly become a leader of men on the battlefield; he will soon become a brilliant tactician and general; a great warrior king. Perhaps he sensed that already within himself, beckoning him on to excellence and honor in battle.
Or was it raw courage? Was he simply the most courageous man in Israel? Was that what compelled him to act so boldly against the insolence of the Philistine?
I am sure that all of those things would have played some part in his battle with Goliath. Yet I would argue, above all else, that David acted the way he did because he was one who practiced the theological virtue of hope.
Now allow me to qualify what I mean by that. I do not mean that he really, really "hoped" he would not get squashed like a watermelon! It was more than mere wishful thinking that ushered David into battle. I mean that he practiced hope in the deepest and most theological sense of the word.
St. John of the Cross, in many of his works, writes about the theological virtues of faith, hope and love. He says that these are what enable us to be united to God. Hope, he goes on to describe, is the virtue that is most closely connected to the faculty of the soul we come to know as the memory.
That sounds a little strange, at first. Hope—the longing and desire deep within us which reaches out to grasp that which has not yet happened, that which lays in the future—this hope is connected to the memory we have of the things of our past.
Think about the people in your life that have been most faithful and loving, those gifts of God who have always been a source of comfort and strength. We look back and see that, time and again, they have been there for us and have never let us down. Suddenly we find ourselves in a difficult situation and we hold on unwaveringly to the belief that they will continue to remain with us and be there for us even now. That is the theological virtue of hope.
Of course, St. John of the Cross would insist that all our faculties—the memory, as well as the intellect and the will—are in constant need of purification. We must purge our memories, and allow God to purify them, of all that is not from Him, letting go of all that gratifies the self without God. Then we will have a pure hope which longs for and desires not many good things without God, but God first, and then all things in union with Him. We hope for the things that matter most because we recall that all the best things we have ever encountered come to us from God and the greatest of all these things is God Himself. That is a more complete picture of what St. John of the Cross would describe as hope.
David, in our first reading from 1 Samuel, practices that virtue beautifully. He stands before the king and tells him "Let your majesty not lose courage. I am at your service to go and fight this Philistine" (1 Samuel 17:32).
King Saul, for his part, is incredulous:
"You cannot go up against this Philistine and fight with him," he tells David, "for you are only a youth, and he has been a warrior from his youth" (1 Samuel 17:33).
But David explains what he is convinced will happen by looking back to all that has happened in the past. He recalls how he would lead the flock of God and tend the sheep, and how the lambs were sometimes attacked by lions or bears. He defended them and always came out victorious.
But David is careful to see those moments of the past with his memory purified. He does not say, "I had the strength and skill to defeat those beasts, and so watch me wipe out this Philistine!" No, he does not insist on his expertise with a sling and a stone, even though that is ultimately what he will use to defeat the enemy. Instead David looks back and recalls things as they really were and insists that the victory is one that belongs to God: "The Lord," he says. That is who will make all the difference:
The Lord, who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear, will also keep me safe from the clutches of this Philistine.
It is not David's strength or his ability which will make the decisive difference here, but the Lord. Goliath may have the experience and power to crush young David but he is no match for almighty God! He discovers that quickly. David's undying hope is the killer of giants, and the one weapon that no enemy can withstand.
Where do we most need to grow in the theological virtue of hope in our own lives right now? We, who have so many enemies in the Christian life, so many distractions and setbacks that keep us from growing in Christ and living for His Kingdom, are called to have a mighty hope which has the power to anchor our souls in God (see Hebrews 6:19).
How is God challenging us to purify our memories and to recall more deeply all the moments of His faithfulness and love toward us? We who have been forgiven so often by God, who have always been granted the grace and help we needed, who are constantly given light and peace when we need it most, whenever times are dark or difficult; we can trust most assuredly that the same God will be there for us now and always in the days to come.
May we learn well from David that—whatever insurmountable obstacles are before us, whatever Goliaths we encounter—hope is the killer of giants and the surest path to the promises that God offers to us today and always.

Zombies in media
Short films and nominal zombie films
The zombie comedy,[1] often called zom com or zomedy,[2][3] is a film genre that aims to blend zombie horror motifs with slapstick comedy as well as dark comedy.
The earliest roots of the genre can be found in Jean Yarbrough's King of the Zombies (1941) and Gordon Douglas's Zombies on Broadway (1945), though both of these films dealt with Haitian-style zombies. While not comedies, George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978) and Day of the Dead (1985) featured several comedic scenes. An American Werewolf in London (1981)[4] and the Return of the Living Dead series (1985)[5] (especially the first two and the last of the series) can be considered some of the earliest examples of zombie-comedy using the modern zombie. Other early examples include Mr. Vampire, CHUD II: Bud the CHUD (1989), Braindead (1992), Bio Zombie (1998), and The Odd Family: Zombie On Sale (2019)
A popular modern zombie comedy is Edgar Wright's Shaun of the Dead (2004),[6] a self-dubbed Romantic Zombie Comedy, or RomZomCom,[7] with many in-jokes and references to George A. Romero's earlier Dead films, especially Dawn of the Dead. Other popular zombie comedies include Gregg Bishop's Dance of the Dead (2008) and the 2009 film Zombieland.
Andrew Currie's Fido,[8] Matthew Leutwyler's Dead & Breakfast, and Peter Jackson's Braindead are also examples of zombie comedies.[9] Sam Raimi's Evil Dead II, although a more direct horror film, contains some lighthearted and dark comedy elements, and its sequel, Army of Darkness, is even more comedic. The Evil Dead series does not, however, feature any traditional-style zombies.
Other films that can be considered zombie comedies include:
Bio Zombie (1998)
Buck Wild (2013)
Burying the Ex (2014)[10]
Cockneys vs Zombies (2012)
Dance of the Dead (2008)

Due to the use of intra-vital imaging techniques and assays for cell migration into 3D matrices there has recently been much interest in different modes of tumour cell migration. Individually moving tumour cells can move either in an elongated-protrusive manner or in rounded, so-called `amoeboid' modes. This review summarises ongoing efforts to delineate the cell signalling pathways that underlie these different forms of movement.

Schools won't reopen until September; alternate grad plans in the works
Students will continue their at-home learning until June 26 as the province decides to keep schools closed until September. The province's social distancing rules also mean changes to traditional graduation ceremonies.
Elaine Della-Mattia
St. Mary's College, or any other school in Ontario, won't reopen its doors before September.
For the majority of graduates this year, graduation will not be the same as former years.
And for all other students, they will not see the inside of their classrooms again before at least fall.
Schools won't reopen until September; alternate grad plans in the works Back to video
The Ontario government announced Wednesday that schools will remain closed until the end of June.
The decision was made to ensure the health, safety and well-being of children, teachers and Ontarians at large, said Minister of Education Stephen Lecce.
As a result, the Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board issued a letter to parents advising them, among other things, that graduation masses, ceremonies and celebrations would be held virtually this June, as social gatherings remain limited to five people.
" Virtual graduations will permit all students and staff, particularly those leaving their schools, our school system, and/or their community, to experience some closure," the letter reads.
The board leaves a glimmer of hope for smaller schools outside Sault Ste. Marie where there may be a limited number of students graduating and says it will work with health officials to determine if in-person alternatives can be arranged that meet health and safety guidelines.
" We acknowledge how disappointing this news will be to many students and their families," said Director of Education Rose Burton Spohn in her two-page letter to parents and guardians.
More details on the plan will be unveiled to families shortly, she said.
Burton Spohn told The Sault Star that Tuesday's announcement was not that much of a surprise based on how the province is slowing reopening in phases.
" We have thought about all possible options and seriously thought about postponing graduations until the fall," she said.
However, for St. Mary's College, where graduations attract more than 1,000 people, the GFL Memorial Gardens is still set up with more than 100 hospital beds and it can't be determined when that will come down.
An August date was contemplated, but there remains uncertainty on when gathering numbers will increase.
And public health officials have said there is no guarantee that a second wave of COVID-19 won't hit, so an autumn date could just bring a second disappointment to students, she said.
" We didn't want that. We wanted to give our students, and parents and staff some closure so we thought a virtual graduation is the best choice and we are going to do the best we can to give our graduates a wonderful sendoff," Burton Spohn said. "We will do the best we can to honour the hard work of our students and families and staff, that have put years into making this happen."
But that graduation won't happen until the school year is out June 26. Until then, students will be required to continue with their at-home learning and complete assignments and tests for final grading.
The Ministry of Education has stated that teachers must put emphasis on grades obtained up to March 13. Following that date, grades cannot go down, but students can improve upon them. Final marks will still include 70 per cent of term work and the remaining 30 per cent of some cumulative activity. There will be no final exams.
" We believe that what you learn and continue to learn in May and June can have an impact on students in the future, whether it be in the next grade or at the post-secondary level," Burton Spohn said. "We know it is hard to keep students motivated at this time of year but we're hoping that students and parents keep in mind that next year is important too and there is a long-term impact to learning."
The HSCDSB understands that individual home situations mean different learning environments and some remote students are experiencing difficulty with internet connections.
" Success happens with the little things you do from day to day and with each piece of work that students do. The commitment made to school work will pay off in the long run," she said.
Algoma District School Board has issued a brief note to parents stating that at home learning will continue to be available until the end of June.
Further information will be released shortly, the ADSB states, including information about the retrieval of students' belongings and system-level plans for graduations.
Meanwhile, the school boards are also making plans to allow students to access the schools to retrieve personal belongings and return textbooks, computers and other school equipment that was loaned out during the learn at home period.
It's expected protocols will be put into place around mid June, based on the advice of public health units, Burton Spohn said.
Diplomas for graduates are also expected to be available at that time.
Lecce said that the Ontario government will continue to work around the clock to plan for additional summer learning and for the 2020-21 school year.
Summer learning programs will allow high school students to upgrade courses, with opportunities to upgrade a full credit course they passed during the school year in 55 hours rather than the normal 110 hours.
Specific learning supports for students with special education needs and mental health needs, including access to education assistants and a summer extension of after school programming for students with autism will also be created, Lecce said.
Volunteer opportunities will also be available to students virtually so students can obtain community service graduation requirements, he said.
Come fall, classrooms and schools may look somewhat different, and plans are continuing to be made with advice by Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health. It's expected recommendations will include how many students should be in each class and what appropriate spacing should look like.
" While we are working aggressively to make sure Ontario's schools and classrooms represent the safest learning environments possible, we will provide our plan for resumption to class in September in short order which will include strict safety protocols and public health measures," Lecce said in a letter to parents.
Burton Spohn said meetings are already taking place with employee groups to look ahead to the fall and what those employee groups would like to see in place.
School offices may have Plexiglas dividers to keep receptionists and support staff safe, she said.
More information is expected in June by the Ministry of Education regarding class size and health and safety requirements.
" We will definitely be using the summer to prepare and put in motion the plans that are outlined to us, but even those plans might change throughout the summer," she said.
