What's an Ichabod?
Washburn's mascot, the Ichabod, honors the school's early benefactor, Ichabod Washburn, a 19th century Massachusetts industrialist. The original design of the studious-looking, tuxedo-clad figure was created in 1938 by Bradbury Thompson (ba '34), who became an internationally acclaimed graphic artist. Design wasn't Thompson's only consideration. To the stylized Ichabod the artist attributed the qualities of "...courage and enthusiasm, as shown by his brisk walk. He is democratic and courteous, for he tips his hat as he passes. Sincere in his search for truth and knowledge, he studiously carries a book under his arm..."

Miami Dolphins Injuries
Raiders at Dolphins injury report Wednesday: Reshad Jones day-to-day with shoulder injury
By Kevin Nogle@KevinNogle Sep 20, 2018, 9:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Raiders at Dolphins injury report Wednesday: Reshad Jones day-to-day with shoulder injury
Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones headlined the team's injury report on Wednesday, missing practice with a shoulder injury he sustained in the first half of the team's game against the New York Jets last weekend. Jones finished the game, but could be sidelined this week if his shoulder, described as "day-to-day" by head coach Adam Gase, is not fully ready for the team's game this Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.
Jones has had shoulder issues in the past, including a torn rotator cuff and labrum that, despite having played through it for a couple of season, cost him nearly the entire 2016 season. It does not appear that the team sees this injury as serious, but the possibility that Jones could miss Sunday's game is still concerning.
Joining Jones on the injury report were long snapper John Denney and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, both of whom were limited in the Wednesday practice as they respectively deal with a shoulder and a knee issue. Running back Kenyan Drake was also on the report, though he was a full participant, as he deals with an abdominal problem. Also full participants were defensive end William Hayes, with a finger issue, wide receiver DeVante Parker, who is still looking to be active on game day since breaking his finger in the preseason, and quarterback Ryan Tannehill, with a knee and ankle issue.
Wide receiver Danny Amendola was listed on the report as not practicing, though it was simply for a veteran's rest day, a practice that should continue throughout the remainder of the season. Running back Frank Gore is expected to see a rest day on Thursday.
The Raiders' side of the injury report included defensive tackle P.J. Hall and tackle Brandon Parker, both of whom did not practice due to ankle issues. Cornerback Leon Hall was limited in practice Wednesday due to an illness, while center Rodney Hudson was limited with an ankle problem, guard Gabe Jackson was limited by a pectoral issue, and running back Marshawn Lynch was limited with a shoulder problem. Wide receiver Dwayne Harris was listed on the report with a foot injury, but was a full participant.
Jones, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, is currently tied with six other players for the league lead in interceptions, recording two in the team's Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans, including the league's longest interception return thus far at 54 yards. He is 22nd in the league with 10 tackles.
The Dolphins and Raiders will kick off at 1pm Eastern on Sunday at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium.

Childhood is full of innocence. But with this said, many parents argue in front of their children without thinking about the effect that it has on them. While occasional disagreements, teach kids that marriage isn't perfect, constant fighting can be quite a traumatic experience. The psychological trauma that they endure when their parents have regular drawn out fights leaves a lasting impression. Consider the following steps to minimize the number of fights that you and your spouse have in front of your children.
Take a second to step back and collect your thoughts It is very easy to let a silly argument escalate. One minute you were talking about who would drive the kids to school and the next thing you know, you're shouting about who has more responsibility at home. If you're fighting about a trivial issue, most likely you should apologize, drop it, and move on. If you're fighting about a more serious matter, stop yelling and have a proper discussion without shouting or making inaccurate generalizations (i.e. "you never help out around the house").
Don't be afraid to express your feelings Leaving negative feelings to fester can have a more harmful effect on your child, than an actual argument. It is unrealistic to expect people in any relationship to be in agreement all the time. However, when you don't say how you feel, kids may be confused, leaving their imaginations to run wild. Model the type behavior that you would like your kids to exhibit. Avoid using insulting terms and physical aggression, and say how you're feeling.
Use the opportunity to teach a lesson Disagreements are a natural part of life. Kids need to learn that having disputes doesn't mean that you have to end relationships. Explain to your children that you and your spouse fight sometimes but that you always love each other and will work things out.


My Generation Music will release "Elvis Presley - The Rock 'n' Roll Years" on vinyl. In 2016 they released a 3CD set with the same title.
I like the way the cover has nothing to do with the years on the Cd. Experts will be discussing this for decades to come.
I really like the cover. But the title The Rock'n Roll Years doesn't fit. The Movie Years would be a very good idea for this cover. Overall it is a quick buck release. Not my kind.
Gorse, agreed per your remarks, which I actually thought about prior to making my comment. The fact of the matter is why the constant reissuing of CD's and vinyl such as this when these tunes have been released God knows how many times before? Seems the "quick buck" is still alive and well.
You are technically correct Cruiser621 but the title is 'The Rock 'N' Roll Years, which I presume in the case of Elvis is anything recorded in the period 1954 - 1959. Anyway I suspect you and I will be rushing out to add this to the latest 'Love Me Tender' CD release !!.
Old Shep and Love Me Tender are definitely NOT rock 'n roll per se'.

Verkehr

Individualverkehr

Uzwil liegt an der Autobahn A1/E 60 Zürich-St. Margrethen (Ausfahrt Oberbüren-Uzwil) und an der Hauptstrasse 7. Die ehemalige, 1935 gebaute Schnellstrasse zwischen Gossau und Wil wurde auf Gemeindegebiet bis auf einem Reststück und der von Robert Maillart gebauten 72 Meter langen Thurbrücke am Felsegg bei Henau komplett abgetragen und durch die darauf erbaute und 1969 eröffnete Autobahn ersetzt.

Die Kantonsstrasse Nr. 38 (Hauptstrasse 444) von der Kantonsgrenze zwischen Bischofszell und Niederbüren nach Oberuzwil verläuft als die Bahnhofstrasse durch Niederuzwil und Uzwil. Die Kantonsstrasse Nr. 54 verbindet Niederuzwil mit Flawil und die Kantonsstrasse Nr. 119 führt von Henau aus über die Maillart-Brücke nach Zuzwil.

Mit dem Bau der Autobahn wurde 1968 als Autobahnzubringer eine vierspurige Strasse mit getrennten Fahrbahnen zwischen Oberbüren und dem Lindenplatz in Uzwil gebaut, ursprünglich war eine Weiterführung nach Oberuzwil geplant, die aber vom Volk mehrfach verworfen worden ist. Seit Ende der 1990er-Jahre ist die Strasse nach und nach auf zwei Spuren reduziert worden.

Langsamverkehr
 Wanderland Schweiz: Der Thur entlang bei Henau führt die Etappe 4 der regionalen Wanderroute 24, dem Thurweg (Abschnitt Schwarzenbach – Bischofszell).

Schienenverkehr und ÖV

Uzwil liegt an der SBB-Bahnlinie Bahnstrecke St. Gallen–Winterthur. Auf Gemeindegebiet befindet sich der 1855 eröffnete Bahnhof Uzwil, der von den Gemeinden Uzwil und Oberuzwil getragen wird, sowie die 1927 eröffnete und 2013 stillgelegte Haltestelle Algetshausen-Henau. Die Bühler-Werkbahn zweigt auf Höhe des Bahnhofs Uzwil von der Bahnstrecke ab und führt ins Industriegelände der Firma Bühler AG.

Im Fernverkehr wird der Bahnhof Uzwil durch den InterCity 1 (Genf–St. Gallen) sowie den InterRegio 13 (Zürich–Chur) bedient, dazu halten S-Bahnen der S-Bahn St. Gallen dort. Den Busverkehr übernehmen Postautos sowie der Regiobus.

Geschichte

Mittelalter
An der Ringstrasse und in der Ergeten wurden frühmittelalterliche Flachgräber entdeckt, die nicht genau datiert werden können. Im Grab an der Ringstrasse in Niederuzwil wurde das nach Osten ausgerichtetes Skelett eines Mannes geborgen, der in seinen 40ern verstarb und der etwa 184 cm gross war. Das Frauengrab in der Ergeten enthielt Schmuck und Perlen.

Henau wurde 754 als Villa Aninauva in der sogenannten Henauer Urkunde erstmals erwähnt; der Ortsname bedeutet «Au des Anno». Henau gilt als Ursprung der Gemeinde. In der genannte Urkunde wurden auch benachbarte Dörfer erstmals erwähnt, so unter anderem Wil SG oder Wilen bei Wil (ist nicht geklärt), Rickenbach, Züberwangen, Weieren oder Dussnang. In der besagten Urkunde vermachte ein Rotphald seine Besitztümer dem Kloster St. Gallen. Er wollte dadurch sicherstellen, dass seine Seele in den Himmel kommt. Zu dieser Zeit existierte höchstwahrscheinlich bereits ein Gotteshaus in Henau. Belegt ist ein Neubau um 800 und eine Urkunde von 893.

Uzwil wird erstmals 819 als Uzzinwilare erwähnt, was «Hof des Uzo» bedeutet. Uzzinwilare umfasste damals das weite Gebiet des heutigen Niederuzwil bis Oberuzwil.

Vorindustrielle Geschichte
Algetshausen ist 854 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. Die älteste Erwähnung von Niederuzwil datiert von 1277, diejenige von Oberstetten von 1322 und von Niederstetten von 1324. Ober- und Niederstetten wurden während der Appenzellerkriege 1403 durch die Appenzeller verwüstet.

Die jetzige Henauer Kirche ist um das 15. Jahrhundert errichtet worden. In der Reformationszeit durften die katholischen Pfarrer in Henau, nachdem die Bauern sich gegen den Zehnten wehrten, zwischen 1527 und 1541 keine Gottesdienste mehr abhalten. Anschliessend durften beide Konfessionen die Kirche bis zum Bau der eigenen reformierten Kirche in Niederuzwil im Jahre 1871 verwenden. Dennoch sind mehrere Konflikte zwischen den Katholiken und Reformierten bekannt, welche teilweise gewalttätig wurden. So gab es 1707 bei Auseinandersetzungen an einem Kirchweihabend einen Todesfall und zwei Schwerverletzte. 1709 kam der evangelische Schulmeister um, im Gegenzug wurde der katholische Pfarrer gefangen genommen, das Pfarrhaus geplündert und der katholische Schulmeister ermordet. Zwei weitere Männer verloren ihr Leben. Während des Toggenburgerkriegs 1712 wurde Henau geplündert und verbrannt.

Niederuzwil erhielt 1556, Niederstetten 1559 und Algetshausen 1571 das Dorfrecht.

Die Pest erforderte 1611 und 1629 viele Opfer. Durch Missernten gab es Auswanderung, so sind 1771 Auswanderungen nach Pommern bekannt. Um ca. 1820 ist nach mehreren Missernten ein Teil der Bevölkerung an Hunger gestorben, andere wiederum wanderten nach Amerika aus.

Mit Gründung der Helvetischen Republik 1798 wurde die Gemeinde Henau erschaffen. 1803, mit der Gründung des Kantons St. Gallen, entstand die heutige politische Gemeinde Henau, zu der die fast unbesiedelte Gegend des heutigen Uzwil umfasste. Um diese Zeit war die Landwirtschaft fast die einzige Einnahmequelle gewesen.

Industrialisierung und neuere Geschichte

Der Niederuzwiler Industrielle Mathias Naef (1792–1846) eröffnete 1821 eine mechanische Weberei, die Mathias Naef & Cie. Dies gilt als Grundstein für die Industrialisierung Uzwils.

Am 25. Dezember 1855 wurde die Bahnlinie der Sankt Gallisch-Appenzellische Eisenbahn Wil–Flawil mit dem Bahnhof «Uzwil» eingeweiht. Ursprünglich war ein Bahnverlauf von Schwarzenbach über den Bettenauerweiher und Oberuzwil nach Flawil geplant. Matthias Naef konnte jedoch seine Pläne für einen anderen Bahnverlauf durchsetzen, so dass die Linie jetzt über Algetshausen und zwischen Nieder- und Oberuzwil verläuft und so der Niederuzwiler Industrie Auftrieb gab.

Die neu gebaute Eisenbahnlinie sowie die Wasserkraft des Flusses Uze bewegten 1859 die Gebrüder Benninger, sich dort niederzulassen. 1860 kaufte Adolf Bühler sen. aus der Hombrechtiker Industriellenfamilie Bühler von Benninger ein Grundstück ab und eröffnete dort eine Eisengiesserei. Die Naefsche Weberei, die Eisenbahnlinie, sowie die Industrien von Benninger und Bühler verursachten einen Einwohnerschub in Uzwil.

Die Bahnhofstrasse als Verbindung zwischen dem Bahnhof Uzwil und der Wasserheilanstalt Bad Buchenthal bei Oberbüren, welche 1843 bis 1907 existierte, wurde aufgewertet und es entstanden Restaurants und Hotels zur Beherbergung dortiger Gäste, welche  wurde. Die Bahnhofstrasse wurde, wie entsprechende Ansichtskarten belegen, durch Besuche Adliger auch als Kaiserstrasse bezeichnet.

Die drei grossen Uzwiler Firmen gingen im Laufe der Zeit unterschiedliche Wege. Die Naefsche Weberei hatte um die Jahrhundertwende 1900 noch rund 1000 Mitarbeiter, wurde aber schon 1914 von Peter Zweifel übernommen. Die Peter Zweifel AG, Weberei Felsegg wurde 1971 stillgelegt. Dagegen sind Benninger und Bühler heute zwei global tätige Unternehmen.

Die heutige Katholische Kirche in Niederuzwil wurde 1934 auf dem ehemaligen Firmengelände der Mathias Naef & Cie. errichtet, nachdem das katholische Pfarramt 1932 das Gelände von Peter Zweifel abkaufen konnte.

Namen
Vor dem Bau der Bahnlinie gab es Uzwil an sich nicht. Von 1850 bis rund 1880 wurde zunächst nur der Bahnhof als Uzwil bezeichnet. Es war die erste Erwähnung Uzwils, denn vorher war nur von Niederuzwil und Oberuzwil die Rede. Bis dato wurden die Siedlungen nach den Weilern Gupfen, Hub, Zahnershub oder Vogelsberg genannt.

Im Laufe der Jahrzehnte wurde Uzwil mit seiner exportorientierten Maschinenindustrie zur geläufigen Ortsbezeichnung. Um 1880–1885 war schliesslich erstmals von einem Dorf namens «Uzwil» die Rede. Mit der weiteren Expansion des Dorfes Uzwil änderte die Gemeinde schliesslich 1962 ihren Namen von Henau in Uzwil.

Sehenswürdigkeiten

Bildung
Neben Kindergarten, Primarschulen und Oberstufenangeboten hat Uzwil ein Berufsbildungszentrum. Der Schwerpunkt dieses Zentrum liegt in gewerblich-industriellen, kaufmännischen und Verkaufsberufen.

Zusätzlich liegt die zentrale Ausbildungsstätte des Schweizerischen Verbandes für Wand- und Dachwirtschaftliche Schulen in Uzwil.

Sport

Eishockey
Das Elite-Team des lokalen Clubs EHC Uzwil spielt momentan in der Regio League. Der 1941 gegründete Klub qualifizierte sich 1971/72 für die Aufstiegsrunde in die Nationalliga A. In den 1980er-Jahren nahmen sie mehrere Jahre am Spielbetrieb der Nationalliga B teil, mussten dann aus finanziellen Gründen absteigen. Zur Jahrtausendwende wurden sie Amateur-Schweizermeister, verzichteten aber auf den Aufstieg in die NLB.

Die Nachwuchsabteilung des EHC Uzwil gehört zu den besten der Schweiz und aus ihr sind wiederholt Nationalspieler hervorgegangen (Sven und Lars Leuenberger, Mathias Seger, Andy Ton, Vjeran Ivanković). In zwei Alterskategorien ist Uzwil in der höchsten Spielklasse vertreten.

Gespielt wird in der 1961 gebauten und 1984 überdachten Kunsteisbahnhalle «Uzehalle». Zu der Eishalle gehört auch eine Curlinghalle. Dort begann unter anderem Ralph Stöckli seine Karriere.

Andere Sportarten
Neben dem Eishockey ist Uzwil auch durch seinen 1966 gegründeten Badmintonclub Uzwil geprägt, der in der NLA vertreten ist und 2013/14 sowie 2014/15 Schweizer Meister wurde. Daneben gibt es einen Skiclub und einen Radsportverein.

In Henau befindet sich ein Leichtathletikplatz, das Rüti, wo unter anderem der FC Uzwil Fussball in der 1. Liga spielt. Rasensportanlagen hat es mehrere in der Gemeinde verteilt.

Zusätzlich befinden sich auf Gemeindegebiet eine Bocciahalle, eine Tennishalle sowie Tennisplätze.

Freizeit und Vereine
Das Uzwiler Schwimmbad entstand in den 1930er-Jahren im Rahmen eines Beschäftigungsprogramms. Dieses wurde in den 1980er-Jahren grundlegend renoviert. 2006 wurde ein Nachbau des Schwimmbades Uzwil im Pishina-Europark in Zllakuqan, Kosovo, eröffnet.

Das Kino City mit zwei Sälen befindet sich im Zentrum. Ebenfalls in Zentrumsnähe befindet sich die Freizeitwerkstatt sowie eine Bibliothek. Die Galerie zur alten Bank befindet sich in Niederuzwil. Es existieren zwei Pfadfinderabteilungen sowie zwei Musikvereine. Seit 1921 gibt es überdies den Jodlerclub Uzwil.

Soziales
Für die Vorsorge existieren die Alters- und Pflegeheime Sonnmatt und Marienfried. Die Werkstätten Buecherwäldli beschäftigen Menschen mit unterschiedlichen Behinderungen oder Beeinträchtigungen. In Niederuzwil ist die von den Pallottinerinnen («Missionsschwestern vom Katholischen Apostolat») gegründete Thurklinik (ehemals Klinik Marienfried) tätig, welche sich vor allem auf Frauenheilkunde spezialisiert hat.

What do you do for "me" time?
As I find myself with more time to myself, I'm still working on what I wan't to do with it, snafu. I am trying to catch up on my reading, and I'm rekindling some older friendships that had been put on the back burner for a bit.
Me time is spent online or watching TV.
Working out, going for a walk, and soaking in the bath are things I do for me time.
I'm going to have to get out the tool box & adjust the hot water valve - so that I can get the water hot enough.

Be Kind by StoneBridge & Crystal Waters
Over the weekend, I was listening to Crystal Waters song "Come On Down" (which sampled the Price Is Right theme song) from around 2002, and I thought "I wonder what Crystal Waters is up to?" I remembered her fantastic song from 2006/7 called "Destination Calabria" with Alex Gaudino. But after that, I kinda lost track of her.
Well, good news! She has a new song called "Be Kind" with StoneBridge. And it is FABulous! That's right! A brand-new song! I went to her Facebook page and liked it. And I listened to her new song. Well, I downloaded it from iTunes and I can't stop playing it.
It's a dance song and the music provided by StoneBridge, who had wonderful song in 2004/5 called "Put 'Em High." Crystal's lyrics and vocals are spot on. Listening to her new song just reminds me of what a good vocalist she is. She has a way of twisting words and making them her own. Just have a listen with this lyric video ...

Now if you think you don't know who Crystal Waters is, her debut single "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)" was a huge hit in the early 90s. By the mid-90s she had another huge hit with "100% Pure Love." Crystal has always had some great songs over the years. While I have a few of her albums and her "Best of" CD, I have no idea what she's been up to since 2007, so I have some catching up to do!
"Be Kind" comes at a time when I think the world could use these words. Whether it be gay rights, immigration and undocumented immigrants, the US House of Representatives, wars in the Gaza Strip and the Ukraine. The world needs this song.
So "Be Kind" and go to iTunes and buy the song. If you are into remixes, there are lots there for you! Don't delay ... buy the track today! And ... "Be Kind."
P.S. Like Crystal's Facebook page and follow her on Twitter. And bookmark her official website. You can even like StoneBridge's Facebook page.

The U.S. government's "massive" watchlist database risks stigmatizing hundreds of thousands of people as known or suspected terrorists – including some its own citizens, a leading civil liberties group has warned.
Around 875,000 names are believed to be on the list, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said. Many are included "based on information that is often stale, poorly reviewed, or of questionable reliability," it added in a report published Friday. Moreover people are being put onto the watch list based on secret evidence and secret standards, with no meaningful process to challenge mistakes, the ACLU warned.
The consolidated Terrorist Watchlist was created in 2003, in part a response to the 9/11 attacks. It provides for a single database of identifying information on individuals suspected by the US to be potentially involved in terrorist activity.
The U.S. government has said the database is "one of the most effective counterterrorism tools for the U.S. government." But the report highlights the negative consequences for anyone finding themselves on the list. It states that traveling by air or sea can become more difficult – and individuals on the list are often subjected to invasive screening, denial of visas, detention and questioning.
Redress procedures for those who have been wrongly or mistakenly included on the list are inadequate, the ACLU said, and can result in innocent people languishing on the list without any real way to challenge their status, according to the ACLU.
What's more, the lists are "shared widely within the federal government, with state and local law enforcement agencies, and even with foreign governments," the ACLU said in a press release.
The Information Sharing Environment (ISE), a government agency established as a direct result of 9/11 Commission recommendations, said in it's 2012 annual report to Congress: "Counterterrorism efforts hinge on the timely access to and analysis of often very personal details and circumstances of individuals and organizations that pose threats to U.S. national security."
"Departments and agencies assess the need for information to mitigate threats to our national security while preserving the cherished constitutional protections and legal rights granted to Americans," ISE said.

In our test laboratory, we tested the tribological behaviour of 3D-printed parts based on DIN ISO 7148-2. The series of tests covered linear, pivoting and rotary movements on different shaft materials.
The friction values of the iglidur® J260-PF filament were low in all tests, on the other hand, the ABS material failed the rotating test on the stainless steel shaft.
The printed plain bearings made from the iglidur® special filament had a similar wear resistance to the standard iglidur® injection-moulded parts on all test rigs.
The longitudinal stroke test shows that the resistance to wear of a printed iglidur® I180 plain bearing is higher than a printed plain bearing made of ABS (standard material) by a factor of 15.
The 3D-printed gear wheel made of ABS (standard material) displays considerable wear when subjected to a torque of 1.2 Nm over an operating time of 75 h. In contrast to this, the printed iglidur® I180 (B) gear wheel shows hardly any wear at all although subjected to a higher load over a longer period of time.
In the linear tests shown here, the wear rates of the printed iglidur® J260 bearings (D) and the injection-moulded iglidur® J260 bearings (E) are the same. This shows that, in terms of resistance to wear, printed iglidur® bearings are comparable to iglidur® bearings that are made in the traditional way.
The swivel test shows that the abrasion resistance of the iglidur® filament is up to 50 times higher than the standard 3D printing materials (e.g. ABS).
In this heavy-load test with a surface pressure of 20 MPa (respectively 800 kg), the resistance to wear of the printed bearings is comparable to that of the injection-moulded iglidur® bearings.
This tests shows the considerably lower friction coefficients of the iglidur® Tribo filaments compared to standard materials (ABS) for 3D printing.


In terms of logic, it would be foolish to not try and cheat, if you know the probability and statistics of error. In terms of morals, it would be immoral to venture down that path. Yet, more often than not logic will defeat moral principles (or at least people will believe they are being logical at the time).
A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest that there is a way to detect cheaters that people naturally possess. This is based, researchers say, on the value system among others. In other words, when you are not receiving the pillars of a strong relationship that your significant other should be providing, a red flag goes up. This I believe is true, however, what if you're dealing with an advanced mature cheater? He/She will do everything they can to make things seem normal and their cheating adventures a part of their everyday life to not cause suspicion. If they are cheating with a colleague at work for example, than it is even harder to detect because them staying late, or going business dinners is not out of the ordinary.
For those who scream, "cheaters never win," think again! I spoke with a number of men and women that opened up about their cheating adventures (or misadventures, depending how you look at it) and found that none of them were ever discovered, or felt any remorse for their actions (they live to cheat another day).
Now I'm not trying to promote cheating. Instead I am telling a simple truth. I also found that a good number of people don't want to know if their significant other is cheating.
So, is it logical to cheat if you know you can get away with it? And what does it mean about your relationship if you can get away with it? People in relationships strive to give each other space, but how much space is too much space? I'm not so sure if cheaters never win.

Let's be clear: Bar Louie is a bar/tavern; make meal plans accordingly. Lots of deal nights are offered here, making it worth the hunt for the lively bar, tucked into the back of the Renaissance Plaza in Boynton at the corner of Congress and Gateway. Mostly youthful and sports-minded groups gather on the patio or in the dining room in good weather. Late night, a mixed crowd flows in and out, and music cranks, especially on weekends. Sliders are popular starters, and the loaded tater tots fly out of the kitchen. A number of appetizers make for sharing plates -- zucchini chips (served with a trio of sauces), calamari, chips and dip trio (salsa, guacamole, and queso), or pot stickers could satisfy several diners. Sandwiches, pizzas, entree salads, and burgers round out the main plates. But the draw is the drinks -- draft beers and cocktails flow freely here -- so if bringing kids, shoot for the quieter Sunday brunch time frame.

In the video, NASA lists three primary reasons that scientists believe Europa is host to enough water to render it habitable for alien life. First, spacecraft imagery showed NASA that its surface is mostly water ice. Second, unlike other bodies in our Solar System, the surface is covered with cracks and ridges, rather than craters. This leads astronomers to believe that a subsurface ocean warms the ice on the surface and causes it to crack, leading to those famous geysers. And finally, Europa's magnetic field is constantly changing, indicating that something under the surface is conducting huge amounts of electricity. Although we don't know for sure, a hidden, saltwater ocean under the surface would be consistent with the observations.
"A future NASA mission can tell us for sure if Europa has an ocean. That's the next step in knowing if this mysterious world has the right conditions for life."

Maple Leafs' Olympic Watch: Toronto Players We Can Expect To See in Vancouver
Jon Neely@@iamjonneelyTwitter LogoAnalyst IDecember 22, 2009
Steve Yzerman will announce the final roster for Team Canada on Dec. 30; a day that Canadians have been waiting a long time for. There are certainly players who have to be considered a lock to make the team; guys such as Sidney Crosby, Martin Brodeur and Jerome Iginla.
But what about the Toronto Maple Leafs?
It is extremely unlikely that any player from the Leafs will be suiting up to play in Vancouver, wearing a Canadian jersey.
The only player invited to the camp was Francois Beauchemin, though his early struggles hurt his chances. The fact that there are just too many good defensemen for Canada to choose from will most likely mean he will be watching from home.
But there will be plenty of Leaf talent present on other countries' rosters who will be looking to beat Canada and stake their claim as the best hockey team in the world.
Mike Komisarek - Team USA
His season started out with him in a major struggle, piling up penalty minutes, consistently a minus player and overall doing more damage than good to the Leafs. But his game as of late, after returning from an injury, has picked up and he has become the solid defender the Leafs were hoping they got in the off-season.
It may have been a bad thing in the beginning, the fact that the American coach and GM were also his coach and GM on the Leafs, watching his terrible play night after night. Lately though it has been the opposite, as they have been able to watch him turn his game around.
If called upon, he will be one of the oldest players on the blue line, as they'll be going for a younger looking defense core this time around; with players such as Jack Johnson, Ryan Suter and Ryan Whitney likely getting the call.
He should be a lock to dress on the blue line for Team USA, as they'll be in need of some toughness standing in front of Ryan Miller.
Verdict: On the team.
Phil Kessel - Team USA
After returning from shoulder surgery 12 games into the season, Kessel has played in 25 games, scoring 13 goals and eight assists. He has been streaky at times but is always a threat whenever he's on the ice, having the ability to release a wicked shot from anywhere in the offensive zone.
He will be joining an American team that will look much younger than it has in past Olympics.
Gone will be Brett Hull, Mike Modano, Chris Chelios and the other veteran guys who seemed to always be on the team. In will step young-guns like Patrick Kane, Paul Statsny, Zach Parise, Dustin Brown and David Booth.
The US will be a formidable opponent for anyone in the tournament, especially with Ryan Miller—who is making his case as the best goalie on the planet—standing guard in the net.
Kessel will be one of the go-to guys for Coach Ron Wilson, as they'll need to put up big numbers if they hope to contend with the likes of Russia, Sweden and Canada.
Jason Blake - Team USA
It has been a whirlwind of a season for Blake, who started out slow—as did most of the Leafs—but has picked up his game of late and looks to be back on track. As one of the older American players being looked at for the Olympic team, he may not fit into the plans and direction the team is looking to go.
It helps that his current bosses will be picking the team, but at the same time, it is a long shot for Blake to be chosen. He'll be fighting to make it against guys like Jason Pomenville, Ryan Kessler and Jamie Langenbrunner, probably for fourth-line duty.
If there was an injury or an opening another way, he may have an opportunity to play, but with the team looking in a younger direction, there may be no room for a guy like Blake to play for his country.
Verdict: Not on the team.
Tomas Kaberle - Czech Republic
He was a huge part of the Czech team that won bronze in the 2006 Olympics and will no doubt play a major role come 2010. Kaberle will be looked to as one of the leaders of a defensive squad that should include former teammate, Pavel Kubina, as well as Roman Hamrlik, Jaroslav Spacek, Marek Zidlicky and Filip Kuba.
It's certainly a core that could have the Czechs in contention for a medal while standing in front of goal tender Tomas Vokoun.
With potent offensive talent that should see the return of Jarmor Jagr to the scene, along side Martin Havlat, Patrik Elias, Ales Hemsky and Milan Hejduk, this team shouldn't surprise many if they turn out to be, once again, in a medal game come the end of February.
With Kaberle as an integral part of this team there is no doubt that he'll want to come home from Vancouver with more than just bronze around his neck.
Jonas Gustavsson - Team Sweden
There is little chance that the "Monster" will be the starting goaltender for the star-studded Team Sweden, but he certainly stands the best chance of being the number two man to Henrik Lundqvist.
He has had to undergo two separate heart surgeries within three months of each other this season, but since his return has looked solid in net—recording his first career shutout on Dec. 19 against the Bruins.
He'll undoubtedly return to Toronto after the games as a better goalie, as he'll be facing some of the best in the NHL in practice. Sweden has some of the most talented players in the world suiting up for them this time around. Guys like the Sedin twins, Henrik Zetterberg, Daniel Alfredsson, Niklas Backstrom and Niklas Lidstrom.
The defending Olympic Champions—who beat Finland 3-2 in 2006 to win Gold—also won Gold at the World Championships that same year, and will be looking to repeat with a similar team.
And the "Monster" will be thankful for just being along for the ride.
Niklas Hagman - Team Finland
Hagman is hoping to once again represent a team that has been a medalist at three of the past four Olympics, including Silver in Torino in 2006. He should be a lock to make the team, playing alongside the Koivu brothers (Saku and Mikko), Teemu Selanne, Olli Jokinen and others.
They stand an excellent chance at medaling once again in 2010, with one of the best one-two punches in the net with Mikka Kiprusoff and Niklas Backstrom.
Hagman has had a stellar start to the season with the Leafs, currently first on the team in goals with 15, and third in points with 25, through 36 games. He was an early-season healthy scratch for one game due to poor play, and since that time has certainly got the message and played his way back to the coach's good graces.
Hagman will be hoping to be a part of yet another medal celebration at an Olympic games, but this time you know they'll be gunning for the Gold.
Mikhail Grabovski - Team Belarus
Belarus has never won a medal in a world tournament before and has very few representatives from the NHL that will be joining them in Vancouver. But what should be one of the most interesting stories on this team will be how the Kostitsyn Brothers (Andrei and Sergei), and Grabovski get along.
Their hatred for each other stems from Grabovski's time in Montreal and has continued since with Grabo coming to the Leafs. It is clear the Kostitsyn's and Grabovski do not like one another, so how they play on the same team once again should be interesting.
But needless to say, they are all locks to make the team, as the only other Belarus player in the NHL is Ruslan Salei, who should be there as well.
They are a long shot to make any noise at all in Vancouver, but it should be a thrill for all the players just to be there; getting a chance to play at the world stage against the best players on the planet.
Grabovski will be a major part of how this team does, and we'll wait and see how he handles playing with his rivals. Something tells me they won't be roommates.
It's less than two months until the 2010 Olympics begin in Vancouver, and it's no secret that hockey almost always comes first in the minds of those countries participating.
There will be representatives from every NHL team in Vancouver battling it out on the biggest stage in the world for that Gold Medal. There will be more than a few Leafs there, but all this talk is starting to get old.
Its time we got this thing started, 52 days and counting.


About 130 people attended Shaarey Zedek synagogue's Channukah event last Saturday evening, Dec 12, including grandparents and grand children, young families, and many new immigrants to the city.
The program began with a ma'ariv service, havdallah, and lighting of the channukiah in the sanctuary. Sarah Sommer, Justin Odwak, and Micki Lanchuske assisted Rabbi Green in leading the service, and were accompanied by Cantor Mass on piano.
After a Channukah dinner (which of course had latkes and sufganiot), young children gathered near the stage, sang Channukah songs, and danced. Adults and children also danced horahs together.
Leslie Emery, the new program director for the synagogue said "This was my first programs" in her new position, and was pleased with the turnout and the "warm and friendly atmosphere."
Emery told the Winnipeg Jewish Review, that "There were definitely a lot of new immigrants at the program. More and more of our congregants and people participating in our programs are immigrants to the city from South America--Argentina, Uruguay. You can feel the South American presence."
Emery added that she has been "involved in Shaarey Zedek for over ten years, and teaches bar/bat mitzvah classes, and has led family services and assisted Rabbi Pinsker in leading the alternative high holiday service."
Emery also noted that the synagogue sponsored three new immigrant families to attend the event in co-ordination with the Jewish Child and Family Services.
Alberto Mold, was at the event with his wife Katy, and their one year old son Elias Benjamin. Mold told the Winnipeg Jewish Review, "We just arrived here one month ago."
Mold, is originally from Mexico City and moved to Israel, where he met Katy, who had immigrated to Israel from the former Soviet Union.
"Our son is hearing four languages," Mold said. "I speak to him in Spanish. Katy speaks to him in Russian, but Katy and I speak to each other in Hebrew. And now, he will hear English."
Mold, who has worked in the area of sales and marketing, said that both he and his wife are currently searching for employment.


Kickoff, the city quieten controls the line of this study, as opposed to, say, from the spot of twist. Sale punk apartments enter a few years. Toll $ 25 g - an fabulously diminished sum in those years! Council N4. And evaluated. And nearly significantly, perchance, is that the 'fine' is importantly depress. Another lesson - the Maryinsky Parkland and Lublin. In both cases, there is no opening to implement a gift capability. However, there is a private investor can wait for ail. But the whip thing - to speculation on the hatful-builders. For example, in Moscow, is now an acceptable one-bedchamber flat to $ 45, 000 cheaper illustrious to buy, and flush for fashioning necessity gazump. If you lacking to buy a word construction as stingily as possible - stressful to constantly varan the marketplace. District A - is the arena of `nil` hertz of construction, the mart has a meaning amount of unsold apartments, resulting in a vary in prices is negligible. This is the endangerment that any investor should be really beneficial. Ultimately, the structure of neighborhoods and districts created latitude transfer and mixer infrastructure, which dramatically increases the attractiveness of the region, so - push up prices at the final stage. Embarkation of N5. The basics of the biz on the selling of intelligence twist - is to buy as inexpensively as potential. Boost emergence of prices is likely due to the conversion of apartments on the petty marketplace, which is higher in the cost exfoliation, so prices volition climb lone in conformity with cosmopolitan merchandising trends. The fact that developers are multitude too, and exposing its loudness to marketing, they silence cerebration the old prices. The fact that investing contracts are raddled abreast the precept of `do famous care - goodness-bye, do not belongings your people in the queue '. The arcsecond period: in this pillowcase the merchandising goes erst a heavy amount of apartments, constrained developers to display low initial damage, and, nigh significantly, creates a competitive surroundings. Literally every day. An copiousness of shops and community facilities, debut its tube areas are the leadership of Southward-Eastward on demand.

If it turns out that you are actually using Play 2.4, then I'm afraid it looks like the error message is correct in that getControllerInstance does not exist for you as this link shows https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.4.x/api/java/play/GlobalSettings.html

With electric mixer, beat egg yolks and sugar 3 to 4 minutes until thick and lemon colored. Set the whites aside. Whisk the yogurt, milk, lemon extract, and lemon zest into the egg yolk mixture. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl and reserve. Using clean beaters, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Whisk the dry ingredients into the liquid just until smooth. Fold in the egg whites.
Cook pancakes on preheated greased griddle until top bubbles, flip gently, and cook about 1 more minute. Make 3- to 4-inch pancakes. Do not overcook; they should be lightly browned. Wash flower petals thoroughly. Make sure there are no bugs hiding out in your flowers!! Pull apart flower petals into small pieces. Fold into batter.
Berry sauce: Wash and clean stems from berries. Warm fresh berries in a saucepan on low heat with a little sugar until the berries throw off their liquid. Add a few drops of water if needed. Frozen Maine blueberries may be used -- heat frozen berries and add a little lemon juice if they are too sweet. Thicken with sifted cornstarch if needed.
Serving Ideas: Berry Sauce or Pansy Butter.
Notes: Fresh flowers petals -- young dandelion, tulip, rose, rose of Sharon, orange blossoms, apple blossoms, lilac, honeysuckle, bee balm, or any sweet tasting edible flower petals that are in season.
To Serve: put lemon slice on plate, place a dollop of freshly whipped cream on top of lemon slice, with scissors cut tiny pieces of edible flower petals used in pancake over the whipped cream. Stick a leaf of lemon verbena or lemon balm in whipped cream for additional garnish.


Pedestrian-actuated warning system for uncontrolled marked crosswalks RRFBs have been found to provide vehicle yielding rates between 72 and 96 percent for crosswalk applications, including 4 lane roadways with average daily traffic (ADT) exceeding 12,000*.
The R920 utilizes a self-contained solar engine integrating theenergy management system with an on-board user interface, housed in a compact enclosure together with the batteries and solar panel. In low light conditions, the ambient auto-adjust option provides over-lighting protection and system efficiency.

Q: When finding the intersection of several sets which is the fastest order to use retainAll() I'm trying to find the intersection of three hashsets of varying sizes. Is there any difference in the rate at which the intersection can be found by altering the order in which the sets are intersected. An example program would be as follows:
public class RetainTest {
    static Set<Integer> large =new HashSet<>();
    static Set<Integer> medium =new HashSet<>();
    static Set<Integer> small =new HashSet<>();

    static int largeSize=10000;
    static int midSize=5000;
    static int smallSize=1000;

    public static void main(String[] args){
        preamble()
        large.retainAll(medium);
        large.retainAll(small);

        System.out.println(large.size());
    }

    public static void preamble(){
        large =new HashSet<>();
        medium =new HashSet<>();
        small =new HashSet<>();

        Random rnd=new Random(15);
        for(int i=0;i<largeSize;i++){
            large.add(rnd.nextInt(largeSize*10));
        }

        for(int i=0;i<midSize;i++){
            medium.add(rnd.nextInt(largeSize*10));
        }
        for(int i=0;i<smallSize;i++){
            small.add(rnd.nextInt(largeSize*10));
        }

    }

}

A: Profiling suggests that the fastest way to combine several sets is to retainAll the larger sets into the smaller set. Further more the order of those retains should also be smallest to largest. So
    small.retainAll(medium);
    small.retainAll(large);

The profiling suggests the difference is significant: for this data set the slowest order took approximately 10 times as long as the slowest order

Test program
These results are created using the following test program which was left to run for 20 minutes
public class RetainTest {

    static Set<Integer> large =new HashSet<>();
    static Set<Integer> medium =new HashSet<>();
    static Set<Integer> small =new HashSet<>();

    static int largeSize=10000;
    static int midSize=5000;
    static int smallSize=1000;

    public static void main(String[] args){
        while(true){
            preamble();
            int size1=largeMediumSmall().size();
            preamble();
            int size2=largeSmallMedium().size();
            preamble();
            int size3=smallMediumLarge().size();
            preamble();
            int size4=smallLargeMedium().size();
            preamble();
            int size5=mediumSmallLarge().size();
            preamble();
            int size6=mediumLargeSmall().size();

            //sanity check + ensuring the JIT can't optimise out
            if (size1!=size2 || size1!=size3 || size1!=size4 || size1!=size5 || size1!=size6){
                System.out.println("bad");
            }
        }

    }

    public static Set<Integer> largeMediumSmall(){
        large.retainAll(medium);
        large.retainAll(small);

        return large;
    }

    public static Set<Integer> smallMediumLarge(){
        small.retainAll(medium);
        small.retainAll(large);

        return small;
    }
    public static Set<Integer> smallLargeMedium(){
        small.retainAll(large);
        small.retainAll(medium);

        return small;
    }
    public static Set<Integer> mediumSmallLarge(){
        medium.retainAll(small);
        medium.retainAll(large);

        return medium;
    }
    public static Set<Integer> mediumLargeSmall(){
        medium.retainAll(large);
        medium.retainAll(small);

        return medium;
    }
    public static Set<Integer> largeSmallMedium(){
        large.retainAll(small);
        large.retainAll(medium);

        return large;
    }

    public static void preamble(){
        large =new HashSet<>();
        medium =new HashSet<>();
        small =new HashSet<>();

        Random rnd=new Random(15);
        for(int i=0;i<largeSize;i++){
            large.add(rnd.nextInt(largeSize*10));
        }

        for(int i=0;i<midSize;i++){
            medium.add(rnd.nextInt(largeSize*10));
        }
        for(int i=0;i<smallSize;i++){
            small.add(rnd.nextInt(largeSize*10));
        }

    }

}

A: Cost of queries on hash sets don't depend on the size of the set. setA.retainAll(setB) is iteration through setA with queries on setB (see implementation of AbstractCollection.retainAll()). Overall cost of this operation linearly depends on the size of setA. Therefore you should always iterate through the least set:
small.retainAll(medium);
small.retainAll(large);

Benchmark by Richard Tingle proven this.
EDIT Ah, Richard Tingle is the author of the question too :)
If you have exactly three sets and performance really matters,  try to find intersection during the single iteration:
Iterator<E> it = small.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
    E e = it.next();
    if (!medium.contains(e) || !large.contains(e))
        it.remove();
}

Since Java 8:
small.removeIf(e -> !medium.contains(e) || !large.contains(e));

USA To Air Annika Live
NEW YORK (AP) -- Annika Sorenstam will get more TV coverage at the Colonial than Tiger Woods ever got on the PGA Tour.
USA Network announced Wednesday it will provide live coverage of Sorenstam's first two rounds next week when she becomes the first woman in 58 years to compete on the PGA Tour.
USA Network has the rights to Thursday and Friday rounds. On the day Sorenstam has an early tee time, it will present 4 1/2 hours of coverage and then return to the Colonial at its regularly scheduled time from 4 PM to 6 PM EDT.
CBS Sports will broadcast the weekend rounds. It already has said it would expand coverage by one hour Saturday -- starting at 3 PM instead of 4 PM -- to either show Sorenstam live, on tape or give highlights of the first two rounds if she misses the cut.
Tee times for the Colonial will be released Tuesday.
Patty Sheehan, a member of the LPGA Hall of Fame and U.S. captain of the Solheim Cup, will join USA Network as an analyst at Colonial.
The network also plans features of other great moments in women's sports, such as Billie Jean King vs. Bobby Riggs, and Julie Krone becoming the first woman to win a Triple Crown horse race at the 1993 Belmont Stakes.

Camilla's sweet Christmas gesture for children: 'We have to make the best of it'
By Bianca Farmakis| 4 weeks ago
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall is trying to find a silver lining in the dark cloud looming over London's Christmas in lockdown, with a special event to "make the best of it".
The Duchess offered a festive alternative to families struggling to come to terms with the announcement of stricter, Tier 4 lockdown orders sweeping the country in an effort to curb surging COVID cases, by hosting a virtual Christmas tree decorating event.
The event took place at Clarence House, and was live streamed in order to maintain her annual tradition.
"We have to make the best of it," Camilla said while hosting the event, which is typically attended by the children and families supported by her patronage, the Helen and Douglas House children's hospice.
The Duchess has upheld the tradition since 2007, as the video explains "this year, things had to be done a little differently."
Camilla joined multiple families from the hospice via video link, informing them "I really miss having you here. It's not the same without you."
"It is one of the highlights of my year," the Duchess confessed.
"A very Happy Christmas to you all… let's hope for a better New Year." (YouTube)
She then proceeded to put a special bauble with each of the children's names written on them, on their tree, as the children instructed the Duchess where they would like to have it placed on the tree.

"A very Happy Christmas to you all… let's hope for a better New Year," the Duchess signed off the video.
The Duchess and Prince of Wales will celebrate Christmas at their estate in Gloucestershire, after Queen Elizabeth canceled the royal family's annual Christmas holiday in Sandringham.
Her Majesty, 94, and husband Prince Philip, 99, will be spending the festive season in Windsor Castle, where they remain in isolation under the HMS Bubble.
The Duchess confessed the annual event was one of her favourite days of the year. (YouTube)
When asked about her Christmas plans, Camilla said, "Well, I don't really know. They are changing things every day. Every day we are going somewhere, and then it changes. I suppose we shall just be at home and see who we are going to be able to see."
Over the weekend, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced strict lockdown orders across England that radically changed the holiday plans for millions of families.
The snap decision came after news that a stronger strain of coronavirus had swept the country, as cases escalate.
There are currently 2,074,000 cases of coronavirus in the UK.

Thank you for everything you did for me and for giving me the opportunity to come to Camp Joy. I enjoyed everything that we did, especially the ropes course. Even though the ropes course was scary and very high up, it was still fun to try new things. Something that I learned at Camp Joy was that if you touch an amphibian with dry hands you could harm it. I learned that it is good to sometimes go into your challenge zone because you can try new things or maybe get over a fear. One thing that I liked was the food. It was delicious, and the cooks did a great job. Something else I liked was the animals, especially the cute little bunny. Something else that is really important that I wanted to thank you for is all the games and activities which weren't just fun, but educational. I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart to the top for the wonderful experience you gave me.

I live in the deep south and mosquitoes are a year round problem. This has always been a problem for my because if one of those nasty little bugs bite me I have a whelp the size of a golf ball. Off Deep Woods Insect Repellent is a product that helps me deal with my itchy problem. Off Deep Woods offers long lasting protection and lives up to the promise. They also claim to repel ticks, biting flies, gnats and chiggers. I have fortunately not had the chance to put that claim to the test. Off Deep Woods Insect Repellent contains 25% DEET which is the active ingredient that makes this product work. The smell is not pleasant and the spray is greasy on you skin but the mosquitoes will not bit.

Will Jimmy Garoppolo return to the 49ers? 'I think we've spoken clearly to that,' says John Lynch
General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan sat down to speak with reporters (virtually, of course) on Monday and discussed the future of the San Francisco 49ers. The two expect quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to be part of that future. "Yes, I want Jimmy back as (part of) our core," Shanahan said. "Good thing he's not a free agent. ... Of course I want our starting quarterback back and all our other starting players too." The two were asked about Garoppolo because the quarterback position is slated to be this offseason's top 49ers-related storyline, just as it was last offseason leading to free agency. Lynch and Shanahan backed Garoppolo as the starting quarterback next season, as they have repeatedly done each time they are asked about
49ers GM John Lynch gives a thumbs-up to Nick Bosa's recovery but isn't certain about Dee Ford
There's good news and not-so-good news for the San Francisco 49ers on the defensive end front as the 2020 season comes to a close. No position on the San Francisco 49ers was hit harder with injuries over the course of the 2020 season than defensive end, with the absences of Nick Bosa and Dee Ford in particular resulting in a significant negative impact for the team's pass rush. But while all signs are positive in terms of Bosa being ready for the 2021 season, it sounds like things aren't as certain when it comes to Ford. 49ers general manager John Lynch discussed the current status of each player during his year-end press conference on Monday, and while his tone was upbeat about Bosa's recovery from a season-ending torn ACL, he sounded much less optimistic in

Pope launches campaign to highlight dialogue with migrants, refugees
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — As the church prepares to commemorate the World Day of Migrants and Refugees in September, Pope Francis launched a video campaign meant to highlight the spiritual and cultural contributions that migrants bring to people's lives.
"Migrants and refugees offer us a great opportunity for the cultural and spiritual growth of all of us. For this reason, it is essential to promote intercultural and interreligious dialogue and to build the future on common values," the pope said in a video message released July 28.
The pope concluded his remarks by asking, "How do you think we can foster more enriching encounters with migrants and refugees?"
The video message launched a communications campaign that highlights the theme of the Sept. 25 world day celebration: "Building the Future with Migrants and Refugees."
The theme highlights "the commitment that we are all called to share in building a future that embraces God's plan, leaving no one behind," said an earlier statement from the Migrants and Refugees Section of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development.
The dicastery said the purpose of the communications campaign is to encourage support and prepare for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees through multimedia aids, informational material and theological reflections.
"Throughout the preparation process, the Migrants and Refugees Section will be happy to receive written or multimedia testimonials and photos from local churches and other Catholic institutions describing their joint effort for the pastoral care of migrants and refugees," the dicastery said.
The dicastery invited people to answer the pope's questions "by emailing a short video or photo" or by sending replies on social media.
"The best answers," it said, "will be part of the campaign."
