Biography
Carlos was born on 3 February 1989 in the city of San Felipe. At the age of ten years, he was scouted by Colo-Colo and he developed in the lower divisions of the school, playing in Colo-Colo and affiliate Third Division.

In 2004, having reached 14 years of age, makes his debut in the promotion tournament.

At 15 years Carlos was nominated for the Chile national U-16 team, as first goalkeeper. This shares the arc Cristopher Toselli. Upon selection, he travels to play in the 2004 South American Paraguay, where his team reached the quarter-finals.

In 2005 the first team debut against Huachipato the Promotion Tournament, where he later played several more games. In early 2006, and already integrated into the first team, Carlos is suffering a shoulder injury during a workout. This leaves him sidelined for a year, which meant losing a lot of ground in his aspirations for becoming the Colo-Colo first-team goalkeeper.

During the second half of 2007, is on loan to Club de Deportes Temuco, under the direction of Eduardo Bonvallet. During this same period is called the preparatory process of the U-20 of Chile, selection would then second in the Toulon Tournament. In late 2007, Carlos returns to Colo-Colo, where the club chooses action released.

Since early 2008 serves as the first goalkeeper and figure Deportes Ovalle team Tercera División de Chile. With this team make it to contest the final of the Copa Chile 2008/summer 2009, which, in turn, would obtain the title of "Best Goalkeeper".

In December 2009, Carlos was acquired by Union Sports Club of San Felipe, where after a good performance, is called by Nelson Acosta, to join the ranks of Everton de Viña del Mar.

Genomic locus modulating corneal thickness in the mouse identifies POU6F2 as a potential risk of developing glaucoma
PLoS Genetics , Volume 14 - Issue 1
Central corneal thickness (CCT) is one of the most heritable ocular traits and it is also a phenotypic risk factor for primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). The present study uses the BXD Recombinant Inbred (RI) strains to identify novel quantitative trait loci (QTLs) modulating CCT in the mouse with the potential of identifying a molecular link between CCT and risk of developing POAG. The BXD RI strain set was used to define mammalian genomic loci modulating CCT, with a total of 818 corneas measured from 61 BXD RI strains (between 60–100 days of age). The mice were anesthetized and the eyes were positioned in front of the lens of the Phoenix Micron IV Image-Guided OCT system or the Bioptigen OCT system. CCT data for each strain was averaged and used to QTLs modulating this phenotype using the bioinformatics tools on GeneNetwork (www.genenetwork.org). The candidate genes and genomic loci identified in the mouse were then directly compared with the summary data from a human POAG genome wide association study (NEIGHBORHOOD) to determine if any genomic elements modulating mouse CCT are also risk factors for POAG.This analysis revealed one significant QTL on Chr 13 and a suggestive QTL on Chr 7. The significant locus on Chr 13 (13 to 19 Mb) was examined further to define candidate genes modulating this eye phenotype. For the Chr 13 QTL in the mouse, only one gene in the region (Pou6f2) contained nonsynonymous SNPs. Of these five nonsynonymous SNPs in Pou6f2, two resulted in changes in the amino acid proline which could result in altered secondary structure affecting protein function. The 7 Mb region under the mouse Chr 13 peak distributes over 2 chromosomes in the human: Chr 1 and Chr 7. These genomic loci were examined in the NEIGHBORHOOD database to determine if they are potential risk factors for human glaucoma identified using meta-data from human GWAS. The top 50 hits all resided within one gene (POU6F2), with the highest significance level of p = 10−6 for SNP rs76319873. POU6F2 is found in retinal ganglion cells and in corneal limbal stem cells. To test the effect of POU6F2 on CCT we examined the corneas of a Pou6f2-null mice and the corneas were thinner than those of wild-type littermates. In addition, these POU6F2 RGCs die early in the DBA/ 2J model of glaucoma than most RGCs. Using a mouse genetic reference panel, we identified a transcription factor, Pou6f2, that modulates CCT in the mouse. POU6F2 is also found in a subset of retinal ganglion cells and these RGCs are sensitive to injury.

Great job (as usual!!)!
Hi Dawn! How wonderfully delightful! I love using cozies to avoid cup confusion! Everybody gets a color and nobody gets to complain! (Part Reservoir Dogs, part Weasley sweaters!) Totally jealous of your mason jar wine glass! LOL!

Palaeolithic bone and antler artefacts from Lateglacial and Early Holocene Denmark: technology and dating

Ancient Cultures of Denmark and the Mediterranean
The Danish Palaeolithic began during the Lateglacial (approximately 12,350 calBC) and lasted for about four
thousand years. Only a handful of sites and organic stray finds have been precisely dated. And it is primarily on these that a
preliminary chronological framework has been built. Similarly, numerous hypotheses on palaeohistory, typology, and
settlement patterns have been proposed. However, due to the preservation of sediments that allow the preservation of
organic materials and their exploitation during the past 170 years, abundant reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) and elk (Alces alces)
remains have been uncovered. Many of these are worked and at least some of which can be assigned to the Palaeolithic. These
remains have, so far, been only partly studied. Here, we present a study of the complete corpus. The Lateglacial faunal collections
in 33 Danish museums were assessed, and 50 reindeer and elk objects are described in detail because they are worked
or were mentioned in the literature as being worked. The Palaeolithic artefacts were AMS 14C-dated and analysed together
with existing datasets.
The results of the study create a more robust framework for hypotheses building. A reliance on reindeer for tool production
throughout the Danish Palaeolithic is confirmed, as is the two-fold occupation of Denmark during the Hamburgian. Furthermore,
the new results indicate a reduction of human occupation or even possible absence of humans during the first half of the
Younger Dryas, followed by an intensive re-occupation of eastern Denmark during the Preboreal. Furthermore, the analysis of
the worked bone and antler materials provides new insights into the manufacturing processes. The repeated occurrence of
transversely segmented reindeer antler, documenting a continuous evolution of this technique from the Late Upper
Palaeolithic to the Final Palaeolithic, speaks against a clear separation of the different cultural entities.

A reliance on reindeer for tool productionthroughout the Danish Palaeolithic is confirmed, as is the two-fold occupation of Denmark during the Hamburgian. Furthermore,the new results indicate a reduction of human occupation or even possible absence of humans during the first half of theYounger Dryas, followed by an intensive re-occupation of eastern Denmark during the Preboreal. Furthermore, the analysis ofthe worked bone and antler materials provides new insights into the manufacturing processes. The repeated occurrence oftransversely segmented reindeer antler, documenting a continuous evolution of this technique from the Late UpperPalaeolithic to the Final Palaeolithic, speaks against a clear separation of the different cultural entities.

Education opportunities for Cambodian students in India discussed
Asia Cambodia India
November 12, 2019 November 12, 2019 Hari SrinivasanLeave a Comment on Education opportunities for Cambodian students in India discussed
The Indian Embassy held an event last week to discuss opportunities for Cambodian students to study in India.
The study in India event for Cambodian students was held at the University of Management and Economics (UME) in Battambang province to raise awareness about education in India and scholarship schemes available to local students.
Following the event, UME president Tun Pheakdey said that the embassy wanted UME students to be more aware of what opportunities are available for Cambodian students in India.
India has a strong history of learning
Speaking at the event, Indian embassy second secretary Adarsh Kumar Mishra said that India enjoys robust economic growth of approximately six to seven percent and is one of Asia's fastest growing economies.
Mr Pheakdey said he would urge his students to seek study in India, but admitted he was uncertain how many were able to:
"I am interested in medicine and information technology courses in India. I will try to explain the importance of studying these subjects and how India is strong in teaching IT and medicine.
"I think India's education system, overall. Is strong. I have seen that IT skills and products generated from India are respected.
"I know Indian medical care is also renowned because I have seen Cambodian people try to obtain medical services there," he said.
Mishra drew light to India's extended history with learning, with Takshashila being the first university in the world.
Mishra said: "India today is popular with international students from all over the world. It's highly attractive with low living costs, world-class education, a growing economy and increasing employment opportunities.
"English, the common language of communication for almost all nations in the world, opens avenues for employment in many countries.
"Studying in India offers an opportunity to live and study in one of the world's most exciting countries, and India has gained a reputation for innovation and expertise in education."
Many options available for Cambodian students in India
Mishra said that financial assistance was available for various scholarships at a wide variety of Indian educational institutions, including the IITs, Jawaharlal Nehru University and the National Law School of India University.
Most academic institutions in India have international student offices and courses designed for international students are available nationwide, particularly in engineering and the applied arts.

It looks modern and elegant, feels durable and solid, performs well in most tasks so it is a good all-round computer you will enjoy.
It has an Intel Core i7-3537U 2.0GHz, 8 GB SO-DIMM DDR3 SDRAM and 500GB Serial ATA at 5400RPM hard drive as well as a Cloud based 32GB Asus WebStorage to have access to all your files wherever you are.. It doesn't have a solid state drive installed but can wake up from hibernation mode in a couple of seconds by Super Hybrid Engine II. Operating system is the 64 bit version of the latest Windows 8.
15.6" LED backlit HD touchscreen at 1366x768 pixel resolution with Intel HD Graphics 4000.. Display and graphics quality are more than sufficient but the screen is a little on the glossy side and reflective which may make it harder for you to work outdoors .
Asus Vivobook V500CA uses the SonicMaster Lite technology and has larger than normal speakers, so it offers clear and loud sound with deeper bass. ASUS AudioWizard gives you options to choose between game, movie and music modes depending on your preferences.
Black stainless steel premium brushed metallic texture and hidden hinges design Asus Vivobook V500CA weighs just 4.6lbs and is only 0.80 inch thick but still comes with a few connectivity ports: 1 x Audio jack combo, 1 x VGA port, 1 x HDMI port, 1 x USB 3.0 port, 2 x USB 2.0 ports, 1 x RJ45 as well as 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, SD card reader and a HD Camera.

Pros: Chiclet keyboard with numeric keypad - Responsive Touch Screen - HDMI and USB 3.0 ports - Powerful 4th generation i7 processor - 8GB memory - Great audio and video quality - Beautiful design.
Cons: Glossy reflective screen - Windows 8 operating system for some, but this is a touchscreen so it is fun to use with Windows 8.
Conclusion: Asus Vivobook V500CA-DB71T is an adequate, decent and a nice looking laptop for its price. It looks exactly like an Ultrabook but as it does not have a flash storage or an SSD, it doesn't classify as one. Having said that the responsive touchscreen and Windows 8 go great together on this Asus. Looking at all the nice features it has and the trust you get from the well-respected Asus brand, it is well priced, indeed.

Talk to us today about dementia care!
Anisha Grange Care Home is a popular 70-bedroom care home in Billericay, Essex, providing residential care, nursing care and dementia care.

Residents at our care home in Billericay are supported to live an active and fulfilled life. Our relationship-centred care enables residents to keep on doing the things they've always loved – the things they perhaps thought they could no longer enjoy. So as part of our community, they'll be able to cook, help out in the garden and carry on with the kind of everyday routines which make their lives theirs.
Our facilities allow residents to continue enjoying the everyday routines they cherish, such as having their weekly hair and nail appointment at the luxurious 'His & Hers' hair salon or catching up with friends over fresh coffee and homemade cakes in the vibrant café, which includes an airy conservatory area. Residents can also enjoy their favourite film in the dedicated state-of-the-art cinema, have a family get together in the celebrations room or unwind with a relaxing massage in the home's luxurious therapy room.
Anisha Grange Care Home has a unique 'Community Room' which is used by local groups and classes and allows residents to participate in activities they have always enjoyed, or try out new activities that they may not have had a chance to do before. From our 'In Stitches' sewing group to race nights, arts and crafts, baking and gardening club; activities are tailored to meet the needs of each individual resident. A packed calendar of activities is put up each week for residents to take a look at and choose what they would like to participate in.
The care home, as with others in the Hallmark Care Homes group, is also known for its award-winning landscaped gardens. Residents are invited to take part in looking after the garden and preparing it for the well-known 'Hallmark in Bloom' competition, where we pit each of our care home gardens against one another to see who has the best garden in the whole Hallmark family!
Meanwhile, our dementia environments are designed specifically to enhance the quality of life for residents, offering stability, reassurance and familiarity.

"Residents are treated with dignity and respect."
"Anisha Grange is definitely one of the best"
"We couldn't have found a better home for mum"
"The team are not just staff, but an extended family. They go above and beyond our expectations."
I am incredibly proud to say that I joined the team at Anisha Grange in December 2018 as General Manager, following a successful transfer from Hallmark Care Homes' Outstanding rated care home in Ipswich.
I have spent 17 years in the social care sector, firstly as a care assistant, then a nurse, lead nurse for a 40 bedded complex nursing community, a commissioning Deputy Manager and regional support role before I discovered Hallmark Care Homes.
Initially I joined Bucklesham Grange in Ipswich as Clinical Care Manager from 2016 before being successful in a promotion to General Manager in 2017.
Throughout my own journey I have been incredibly fortunate to meet and care for amazing individuals with inspiring life stories. In this time my passion has never changed – the first residents that I met, enhanced my life and I feel a responsibility to enhance the lives of all those that I care for now and in the future.
I promise to listen and respect your views as myself and the team continue with the vision of providing the highest quality relationship-centred care for all residents.


EghtesadOnline: T he Majlis Research Center has a positive opinion about the government decision to launch the Open Market Operation enshrined in the next fiscal that starts in March, calling the move "a critical necessity" to regulate lending by Central Bank of Iran.
OMO is a financial instrument through which central banks buy and sell securities in the open market to expand or reduce the supply of money. Within OMO, the CBI buys government bonds to increase the money base (cash reserves), thereby reducing the inter-banking lending rates.
On the other hand, selling government bonds decreases the base money and raises interbank rates, Financial Tribune reported.
However, the current procedure doesn't oblige lenders, which are in need of liquidity, to keep collateral with CBI for inter-bank debt settlement, a "wrong practice" which the MRC says must end.
"Binding the banks to keep collateral for borrowing from the central bank is normal in many countries that also helps CBI regulate lending" MRC said.
An increase in the volume of bonds is tantamount to increase in the volume of borrowing which in turn causes the interest rate on bonds to rise.
When the interest rate of government bonds is higher than the interbank rate, banks with surplus cash reserves prefer to buy bonds instead of parking their money in the interbank market. This is a point where central banks come in and play their role as the main purchaser of bonds in the secondary market.
According to the parliamentary think tank, due to current religious jurisprudential prohibitions, except for treasury bills, the CBI is not legally allowed to trade in other types of Islamic bonds.
However, the budget bill is construed in a way that grants permission for trading Islamic bonds within open the market operation framework.
Launching the OMO and purchasing bonds by CBI will naturally increase demand for such bonds that in turn reduce the yield of such bonds and bring them closer to interbank borrowing rates. "The procedure ultimately reduces the borrowing cost and, thereby, facilitates the borrowing process," the MRC says.
MRC argues that decreasing borrowing costs and facilitating the borrowing process is a must for the government as it seeks to plug the budget hole by borrowing, adding that because the budget deficit for next year is predicted to be bigger, launching open market operation is more warranted.
The report points to average interbank rate in the period covering March 22 -Sept. 22 which stood at 19.59% and contrasts it with the interest rate registered for Islamic bonds by the August 22, saying that the bond rate was 10.5% higher than the interbank rate during the period.
However, the research wing of the parliament says for the mechanism to work optimally, some groundwork should be in place.
Adding up the bonds which mature next year (270 trillion rials / $2.3 billion) and the total bonds to be issued next year (910 trillion rials / $7.9 billion), as seen in the budget bill, the MRC says there will be enough bonds in the market for the effective implementation of OMO.
However, it links this to an important factor i.e. is the demand for government bonds. "Increased demand for government bonds leads to decline in their interest rates. As such, less interference on the part of the CBI is needed to draw rates closer to desired point," the MRC claimed.
It added that as lenders are the main applicants of CBI loans, the existence of crisis-plagued banks means a huge decline in demand for bonds.
It warns that if the CBI keeps compromising with lenders' malfunctions and hangs on to faulty former procedures, the market won't see any progress over time.
Therefore, the MRC recommends banking reforms and closing poorly performing banks, asking the regulator to enforce appropriate penalties for borrowers who fail to put up collateral.

Heritage of Cebu Monument – Photo Story
Heritage of Cebu Monument can be found in historic Parian district of Cebu City. A massive monument portrays some of the most important persons, places and events of Cebu history.
The construction made of concrete, bronze, brass, and steel took a while to complete: from July 1997 to December 2000. The author is local artist Eduardo Castrillo.
Photos and historic facts about the heritage monument
"He (artist Eduardo Castrillo) and the late Senator Marcelo Fernan together with donations from other private individuals and organizations funded the construction of the monument."
"The structures depicted in the Heritage Monument are the Basilica del Santo Niño, the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral, the Saint John the Baptist Church, the Magellan's Cross, and a Spanish Galleon."
"The scenes depicted in the Heritage Monument are the baptism of Rajah Humabon, a procession of the Santo Niño, a Roman Catholic mass, and the Battle of Mactan between Lapu-Lapu and Ferdinand Magellan. "
"The persons depicted in the monument include the late president Sergio Osmena Sr. and Blessed Pedro Calungsod."
"The Heritage Monument is located in the historic Parian District, which during the Spanish period was home to the residences of the most prominent families in Cebu at that time. "
"The Heritage of Cebu Monument is accessible by public transportation. If you are in Colon Street in downtown Cebu City, you can take a jeep with the signboard showing SM and Pier area. The jeep will pass by the monument. You may also take a taxicab as most drivers are familiar with the place."
Some interesting facts about the place, not so well-known
San Juan Bautista Chapel - a faint reminder of its glorious predecessor church with the same name.
In 1602, the most magnificent church was built on the same spot where the Heritage of Cebu Monument now stands. According to some sources/studies this Parian church "has never been surpassed by any other church that has been built in Cebu, such as the Cathedral, the Seminary, and San Nicolas." Its name was San Juan Bautista Parish Church.
Unfortunately, it was disassembled sometime in the late 1870s. And the only faint reminder of its opulence is a small San Juan Bautista Chapel across the street (see photo above and below).
The inside of the San Juan Bautista Chapel, located right across the street from the Heritage of Cebu Monument in Parian district.
Story about san Juan bautista parish church
"The church (built in 1602) was made of stone blocks, plastered together in a mixture of lime and the sap of the lawat tree. The roofs were made of tiles, and the lumber used was molave, balayong and naga.
The paraphernalia used in the mass was made purely of gold, the pews were carved by a sculptor of the Parian, the altars were covered with stone slabs with money and gold inlaid, and the church bells were big and loud. The tolling of these bells was so loud that it could be heard as far as Hilotungan ang the town of Talisay."

"The Augustinian friars upon seeing the magnificence of the church of the Parian, got envious, and employed every shrewd means they could think of to take over the Parian church."
To make a long story short - eventually, the Spaniards succeeded. The church was disassembled in late 1878 or 1879. Only the convent of the San Juan Bautista Parish Church was spared. It was used as a public library and a fire station during the American regime.

Film studiesOlivia Ruiz in concert at the Bataclan on 3 and 10 of April 2006: From "the real TV" to "the real artist performer"
General presentation.
Olivia Ruiz: An artist above all.
Bataclan history.
The concert.
Personal point of view.
In France, the Loft Story TV programme paves the way for the real television. Now, lots of viewers watch ?ordinary? people eating, sleeping, and arguing? Overnight these stage actors become famous just having talent to be on television. Andy Warhol was right when he said ?In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes?. Olivia Ruiz was one of the pioneers of the French real TV. She took part in the show Star Academy in 2001. However it seems Olivia is a different case. Indeed she is, more and more, seen as a ?real? artist performer. For her second national tour, her show in Paris takes place at the Bataclan on 3 and 10 April. During this tour, the young singer wins, totally, recognition of the audience. So, I will study, through the 10th April concert, how did Olivia free herself from the real TV marketing system to be an exception becoming a real artist.
[...] Now, without fixed direction, the Bataclan theatre has an eclectic programming: folklore, typical show with band, dancing and, more recently, rock concerts . The concert The Olivia Ruiz concert took place on 10 April at 8 pm o'clock. Going in the auditorium, it was packed. Let's note that Olivia has played to packed houses on 3 April, her first concert at the Bataclan. The BabX band, invited to do the first part of the concert, was already on stage. Their songs are very realistic and denounce, with irony, topical issues. [...]
[...] As in 2003, Olivia surrounded herself with famous artists to work this album. While the production is signed Alain Cluzeau (Bénabar and Thomas Fersen's producer) and Mathias Malzieu (Dyonisos). One more time, the Olivia's album has been nominated at Les Victoires de la Musique 2006 in another category: ?Album of Year?. With La femme chocolat, both personal and enchanted, Olivia offers us a tour all over France whom two concert in Paris at the Bataclan on 3 and 10 April. o Bataclan history The Bataclan is a place steeped in history.

Vol. 35 No. 07 September 2018
Massive clergy pedophilia, cover-up exposed in Pennsylvania grand jury report
Shocking, yet not wholly unexpected, revelations of massive clergy pedophilia and its broad organized cover-up by the Catholic Church over a period of 70 years has been exposed in a 1,400-page report by a grand jury in Pennsylvania.
The horrifying report, released Aug. 15, shows that at least 300 priests had sexually abused more than 1,000 victims, many of them numerous times, during that period. Church leaders persuaded victims not to report the abuse and law enforcement not to investigate it, the report states.
"Priests were raping little boys and girls, and the men of God who were responsible for them not only did nothing; they hid it all. For decades," the report states. "Monsignors, auxiliary bishops, bishops, archbishops, cardinals have mostly been protected; many, including some named in this report, have been promoted."
Six of the state's eight Catholic dioceses were involved in the report.
"We believe that the real number of children whose records were lost or who were afraid ever to come forward is in the thousands," the report says.
This comes on the heels of the resignation of Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick, the former archbishop of Washington, who is accused of sexually abusing young priests and seminarians, as well as minors.
Unfortunately, the report is unlikely to lead to new criminal charges or civil lawsuits under the current law because the statute of limitations has expired. The grand jury and the state's attorney general strongly recommended that the statute of limitations be extended in civil and criminal cases. They recommended opening a temporary "window" that would permit older victims to file civil lawsuits against perpetrators, and the church. The church, of course, has lobbied against any change to the statute. (FFRF is asking Pennsylvania residents to contact their lawmakers to change the rules for reporting clergy abuse.)
The cover-up was so well organized that church officials had a "playbook for concealing the truth," the grand jury said. (See accompanying story on this page.)
"They protected their institution at all costs," Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said in the news conference announcing the release of the report. "As the grand jury found, the church showed a complete disdain for victims." He added that the cover-up "stretched in some cases all the way up to the Vatican."
"There are two words that can express these horrible crimes: shame and sorrow," Vatican spokesman Greg Burke said, in a statement.
The Pennsylvania grand jury met for two years, reviewed 500,000 documents from dioceses' secret archives, and heard testimony from dozens of victims and the bishop of Erie. The report covers the dioceses of Allentown, Erie, Greensburg, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh and Scranton.
The report was finally released after what Shapiro called an "intense legal battle" that played out over the last several months as some people named in the report appealed to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to block its release.
"They wanted to cover up the cover-up," Shapiro said.
Pennsylvania's two other dioceses, Philadelphia and Altoona-Johnstown, have been the subjects of earlier grand jury reports, which also found damaging information about clergy and bishops in those dioceses.
"For many of us, those earlier stories happened someplace else, someplace away. Now we know the truth: it happened everywhere," it said in the report. "But all of them were brushed aside, in every part of the state, by church leaders who preferred to protect the abusers and their institution above all."
The report described some of the alleged abuse in disturbing detail:
• In Erie, a 7-year-old boy was sexually abused by a priest who then told him he should go to confession and confess his "sins" to that same priest.
• Another boy was repeatedly raped from ages 13 to 15 by a priest who bore down so hard on the boy's back that it caused severe spine injuries. He became addicted to painkillers and later died of an overdose.
• A priest raped a girl, got her pregnant, and arranged an abortion. The bishop expressed his feelings in a letter: 'This is a very difficult time in your life, and I realize how upset you are. I too share your grief.' But the letter was not for the girl. It was addressed to the rapist.
• In the Pittsburgh diocese, the priests shared information on victims. The priests would give their altar boys gold crosses. These crosses were a visible sign that these children had been victims of sexual abuse and were a "signal to other predators that the children had been desensitized to sexual abuse and were optimal targets for further victimization."
"There are many gut-wrenching, heartbreaking details in the report, but the consistent theme underlying the analysis is authority. Unquestionable, unassailable authority," writes Andrew Seidel, director of s
Catholic Church cover-up
trategic response for FFRF, in FFRF's blog, Freethought Now, about the report. "Divine authority. In my opinion, that is the biggest contributor to the depth, breadth and severity of this menace.
"If the Catholic Church were a chain of private schools or a secular, multinational corporation, it could never get away with raping children on an industrial scale and covering it up. The difference is that these young victims are taught by everyone in their orbit that their tormentors are divine. They are the representatives of God on Earth. The abuse is so bad in the church because it is a church.
"It's time to ask any observant Catholic you know: 'Why haven't you quit the Catholic Church?'"
Anthea Butler, associate professor of religious studies and Africana studies at the University of Pennsylvania, minced no words in her column posted on NBCNews.com.
She writes, "It is time to face the horrible truth: The Catholic Church is a pedophile ring . . . What the now-multiple Pennsylvania grand jury reports show clearly is that the Roman Catholic Church has treated the protection of its pedophiles, rapists and sexual abusers as their highest priority. They have been unwilling and unable to police clergy sexual abuse while determined to keep responsibility for doing so within the Church — but they don't want to be held accountable for mishandling it. Like a criminal syndicate, it is time for the Church to be broken apart and cleaned out."

Established in southern California in 1983, multi-platinum crossover Christian metal band, Stryper, continues to share their positive message and energetic stage presence with a passionate following throughout the world.
Since the band's inception over 30 years ago, the founding members have stayed true to their deepest convictions, turning from "the ways of the world" and following their hearts instead. "In the past 34 years, we've evolved into what we are now," says vocalist and guitarist Michael Sweet. "This is what we always really wanted to be.
I love the progression. The story of Stryper is that of an underdog.
We seem to go against the grain with everything we do, and our fans tend to be the same – They're good hardworking people who believe in love, respect, and not conforming to the ways of the world." The members of Stryper have proven themselves as metal stalwarts, leaving an indelible mark on the genre with each new release. With such hits as "Calling On You," "Free," "Honestly," and "Always There For You," Stryper's album sales now exceed over 10 million worldwide.
Add to that one of the most successful Christian rock albums ever, 1986's multi-platinum To Hell With The Devil, and the unique distinction of being the first band in history to notch two songs in MTV's Top 10 with "Free" and "Honestly." The band has managed to leave an enduring impression on pop culture, as well. Singer Michael Sweet spent months trending online when he was identified as the doppelganger of 2016 presidential candidate Ted Cruz, who went on to discuss the comparison on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! Several movies have paid homage to Stryper's cultural significance, too, including Drew Barrymore's "Whip It" and "Pain & Gain," starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Since returning from a 12-year hiatus in 2003, Stryper has managed to release new music annually.
Their most recent full-length album, Fallen [Frontiers Music SRL], reached #44 on the Billboard Top 200 and #2 on the Top Hard Music Albums chart. The group is now recording their next original album, which is due in April of 2018 and promises to be their most groundbreaking yet. This year will also bring Stryper back on the road, where they'll have a chance to connect with fans, new and old.
The line-up still features three of the original members, including singer songwriter Michael Sweet, his brother and drummer Robert Sweet, and guitarist Oz Fox. Recently, the group welcomed iconic bassist Perry Richardson (formerly of Firehouse), who will be joining them on tour.
"We're excited about the next season of Stryper," says Sweet. " We have the best fans in the world and the band is at the top of its game musically and spiritually.
We look forward to seeing everyone on the road.".
Heavy metal certainly has no shortage of rebels. It seems like everybody's rebelling against something, and that's part of the genre's allure. However, the most rebellious thing anybody can do is hold steadfast to personal beliefs and never waver. Stryper indisputably do both. They're not shy about their Christian beliefs, but they're also consistently as heavy as any of the genre's pillars. Following up 2013's seminal opus No More Hell To Pay, which debuted at #6 on Billboard's Top Rock Albums Chart and #2 on the Christian Albums Chart, their eleventh full-length original album, Fallen [Frontiers Music SRL], is their heaviest offering to date. "In the past 30 years, we've evolved into what we are now," says vocalist and guitarist Michael Sweet. "This is what we always really wanted to be. I love the progression. The story of Stryper is that of an underdog. We go against the grain with everything we do.

We asked college aid experts how to pay for school
Blog author Holly Johnson
Published June 12, 2018|5 min read
While it's hard to deny the value of a college education, rising costs have made it harder for students to afford their degrees. Average tuition at public, four-year schools surged to $9,970 for the 2017-18 school year and those costs rise to $20,770 per year when you add room and board, according to the College Board. A private school or an advanced degree, will cost you even more.
With these figures in mind, it's important to know you don't have to follow the crowd when it comes to earning a degree. You can plot a different path by looking for ways to reduce the cost of admission or by attending a different school.
Many college aid professionals and counselors wish you would consider alternative options. When it comes to paying for college, here's what the experts have to say.
Pricey schools don't always pay off
Ben Luthi, college expert for Student Loan Hero, says you can get a quality education without paying a premium. To accomplish this goal, you may have to consider a different school than the one you want to attend.
"The name of your school might help you get your first job, but it likely won't matter for the rest of your career," he said. That's why you should make sure you include more affordable schools in your college search.
"And if you're already in school and you're overwhelmed with the cost, consider transferring. I've worked with countless people who went to colleges that I've never heard of," he said.
Joe Orsolini, who serves as president of College Aid Planners, says many students and parents get hung up on college rankings or where a school lands on a best-of list. As a result, they make poor decisions regarding their undergraduate education.
"The reality is that nobody cares where you got your undergraduate degree," he said. "Do you know where your doctor earned their undergraduate degree?" Probably not.
Focus on your return on investment
Robert Farrington, founder of The College Investor, says too many people think of college as a time to find themselves without thinking of the long-term consequences of their student debt.
"Students need to think of college as an investment, and so they need to focus on the ROI of that investment," he said. "Why are they going to college? What will it cost? What can they expect to make after graduation in their first job? Based on those answers, students can get a good glimpse of their potential ROI."
When you focus on your return on investment and think of college as a business transaction, you can avoid borrowing too much to pursue a degree that won't pay off. Farrington suggests making sure you never borrow more in student loans than you can earn in your first year after graduation.
"That will allow you to realize an ROI on your education and keep your student loan debt at a manageable level," he said.
You can save if you don't live on campus
Debbie Schwartz, founder of Road2College.com, says students who have the option to live off campus or at home should consider it (just remember you'll need renters insurance if you live in an apartment).
"In many cases, room and board can be more expensive than tuition," she said. If you can live with your parents or another family member or share an inexpensive apartment or house with other students, you can reduce the amount of cash you need to borrow for school.
Take the right courses in high school
Kathy Hart, a California-based scholarship consultant and college coach, says many students assume harder courses will help them get into college. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case.
"Take classes in high school that allow you to be successful," she said. In other words, don't fall victim to the pressure of having to take Advanced Placement coursework if you know if you can't earn an A. If you can't, an AP class could hurt your chances of getting into the school you want.
Apply early for scholarships
Jocelyn Paonita Pearson, scholarship expert and founder of The Scholarship System, believes all students can secure scholarships. She also believes they should start searching for grants as early as sophomore or junior year in high school and apply for every scholarship for which they qualify.
"Despite the majority of stories we hear, there are many students out there that manage to graduate debt-free," she said. The key to earning scholarships is taking the time to find them and applying, and unfortunately this can require a big investment of time and effort.
Pam Andrews, college admissions coach for The Scholarship Shark, says it's important to think about other types of aid as well – including federal or state grants and merit scholarships. Merit aid can be especially lucrative if you have excellent grades.
"Know what the college offers in merit aid, how you can qualify for it and what it takes to maintain it," she said. "It is also important to know the application deadlines to apply for merit aid. Sometimes those deadlines are before a college's application for admissions deadlines."
Never assume you won't qualify for a scholarship. Andrews says it's important to approach the scholarship system with an open mind and without any limiting beliefs.
"If you don't feel like you can succeed then you're less likely to act or even think about acting," she said. "Having the right attitude towards winning scholarships is the first step because it then moves the student to take action."
Tuition may keep rising, but some states and colleges have made tuition free. Here's where.

Belmont's ugly week continues with two more dead "athletes." The Gaming Commission reports that 6-year-old Long Blooming Rose was euthanized after "rupturing a suspensory" while training yesterday; 6-year-old Winter Games was euthanized after snapping a leg Thursday. At the moment, it is unclear under what circumstances the latter occurred. New York's 2016 Dead-Racehorse Watch is at 102.
ONE HUNDRED AND TWO (102) innocent horses have been SACRIFICED so far this year in New York State alone. This is outrageous. All in the name of a so-called sport for $2 bets, greed, big egos and family entertainment.
A BLOOD sport it most surely is and utterly unacceptable in a modern society.
I know it's terrible I live right behind the training track and not a day goes by that I don't hear the sirens going off meaning a loose horse or a breakdown.
Thank you for your comment, Laraine. The more the general public is informed of the inexcusable inhumane treatment of these horses the better chance of justice for them. Please spread the word amongst family, friends and workmates. In case you're unaware, Horseracing Wrongs has a Facebook page.
This is horrible! It's been raining hard these past two days and they still make the horses run. This should be classified as animal cruelty and endangering the welfare of the animal.
Thank you for your comment, Tracy. Not only are they forced to train and race in the rain, they endure other weather conditions such as extreme cold, snowing, very strong winds, extreme heat and high humidity. All of these conditions are a threat to the horses' health and safety but the show must go on despite the fact that many of these horses are sore, tired, being overworked, carrying pre-existing injuries, pumped with drugs and hit with electrical devices. And of course these horses are forced to gallop at high speed pushing them beyond their limitations whilst being mercilessly beaten with whips often resulting in horses suffering injuries and breakdowns.
Horse racing is a cruelty ring, death camp, and corruption pit.
All racehorses at ALL levels are subjected to whipping/beating, doping, maiming, dumping, and/or dying.
Blatant animal cruelty that is legitimized by managing themselves with little or no neutral oversight.
NONE – NOT ONE of the connections of a racehorse who DIES under their care, doping, and training methods will be held accountable.
There are only 3 types of people in horse racing. 1. Abusers 2. Enablers of abuse 3. Both.
So sad, and utterly despicable that living, breathing, sentiment beings died in the dirt for bets, and egos.
This antiquated business model full of pain, and suffering has got to shut down.
It's a blood bath, and a horror show that has no place in the 21st century.
Thank You Gina. I agree with you Completely !!!
I grew up in The Village of Floral Park, NY. Am in my 60's now and live a few miles away but it appears that there is only adulation given by the local paper and all media to the races at Belmont. The truth is squelched. People will maybe become very defensive if you speak out loudly. They are uninformed. Belmont is "special " in my hometown from what I can see. I hope that the locals can somehow learn the truth.
Thank you for writing in, Martha. Saratoga is, as you say, "special" up here, too. But times are changing; the momentum is with us.
Patrick, I would love to hear that this is true… I drive by the Belmont race track and the Cornell Veterinary School race track hospital across from the track often and wonder why does Cornell seem not to speak up and tell the public about what is going on. Don't they have that obligation? It bothers me. It makes them appear complicit, intended or not. ( Trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. ) Are they afraid to speak up, for fear of being asked to leave, thus placing the horses in greater danger? Or is it simply that they support racing? I hope not. They see everything!
Buffett, Oh please. There are humane ways to employ people. Cruelty and selfishness is good for no one, including the perpetrators. Kindness to animals is the only way to go.
Your missing the bigger picture here. Will racing be banned. I'm not sure. Probably not. But the movement to educate, to bring to the forefront the cruelty is not going away…ever. It will only get stronger. And what does this mean for racing? Petitions..and then laws…and then change. The day will come when whips are not allowed, same day drugs, Lasix, not being able to run two year olds. And solid laws in place for trainers caught doping.The biggest will be when the public no longer wants to subsidize the industry, and use that money for education, and the welfare for all. Without these things the industry cannot survive. Make no mistake…'big business' will not continue to fund horseracing.
