Unvaccinated student in Kentucky sues health department after it bars him from extracurriculars
Chickenpox outbreak spurred department's actions
By: WCPO
Posted at 12:26 PM, Mar 16, 2019
WALTON, Ky. — Shortly after Our Lady of the Sacred Heart and Assumption Academy in Walton, Kentucky, reported 32 cases of chickenpox at the elementary school, a high school student filed a lawsuit against the Northern Kentucky Health Department, claiming it had directed Assumption Academy to bar him from participating in extracurricular activities because he had not received a vaccine.
School and health officials have been working to contain the outbreak since February, said Dr. Lynne Saddler, the district director of health for the Northern Kentucky Health Department.
According to the suit, which was filed in Boone County Circuit Court, 18-year-old Jerome Kunkel's battle with the health department started then. He and his parents had always declined the vaccine because of his conservative Catholic faith.
Although the modern chickenpox vaccine does not contain any fetal tissue, it and several others were developed in the 1960s using cell lines derived from a pair of aborted fetuses.
"Among other fundamental and deeply held religious beliefs of Mr. Kunkel, and the beliefs of his family, is that the use of any vaccine that is derived from aborted fetal cells is immoral, illegal and sinful," the suit reads.
The first case of chickenpox at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Elementary School, which was detected in mid-February, spurred the Northern Kentucky Health Department to inform the parish that its students could not participate in or attend extracurricular activities unless they were found to be immune from the virus, according to the suit.
Students subsequently not found to be immune, including Kunkel, were then barred from extracurriculars. The lawsuit alleges the health department's epidemiology manager made derisive comments about Kunkel's faith and enacted the ban due to a specific religious animus.
Later, when additional cases of chickenpox were discovered, additional bans were enacted. In an email cited in the suit, the epidemiology manager describes them as being for the protection of the public.
By Friday, the health department had announced that all Sacred Heart and Assumption students without proof of vaccination or proof of immunity will not be allowed to go to school until 21 days after the onset of rash for the last person to have chickenpox. All games, events and activities are also canceled until 21 days after the last person is infected.
Kunkel's lawsuit alleges these actions are infringements on his right to freedom of religion and expression. It seeks to end the bans and recoup legal costs.
Instances of people abstaining from certain vaccinations based on anti-abortion religious beliefs rather than medical concerns date back to at least 2005, when the Pontifical Academy for Life released a study weighing the religious morality of Catholics using them.
It conclude Catholics should push for the development of new vaccines with different origins but "this important battle cannot and must not fall on innocent children and on the health situation of the population — especially with regard to pregnant women."

"It makes the blood run cold. In his case, quite literally so."
Lucas of Arendelle is the Captain of the Guard. He's also known as Lucas of Davenport, because for the past twenty years he's only seen sitting down, filling out forms and filing reports instead of working the streets.
But the Ice Queen herself is in hot water. Her political enemies — and there are many — are turning up dead, their blood frozen solid. Few people have a motive, but fewer still have the power.
Princess Anna, the royal sister, is blaming the trolls. Count Olaf suspects it's a palace coup. The Queen herself thinks everyone's being manipulated... but by who? And to what end?
Now Lucas has to get back to the streets he once knew, but they've changed since he last walked them. Danger is around every corner, political schemes are coming to fruition. And, Lucas realizes, someone has been playing a long game. Someone with a grudge from the past, who is unable to let it go.
Explaining the Joke Ruins the Joke
by Roswell Camp
Minnesota's known to be cold [1], and one of the books is, in fact, named Winter Prey. I figure there's about a fifty / fifty chance that one day Putnam will settle on Frozen Prey for one of the books, which would make this title prescient.
Still, the title is a bit too serious. It's not flat out ridiculous like Eat Prey Love, not as silly as Choose Your Own Prey. It sounds like a perfectly reasonable Prey title [2].
And then I saw Frozen on a DVD rack at Target and thought, "Frozen Prey, set in Arandelle" and I had an April Fools' Cover. It practically writes itself [3].
The synopsis is... okay. I mean, I got a "Let it Go" joke in at the end — of course I did — but the rest is a bit pedestrian and bland. I did giggle to myself at the idea of Olaf the Snowman being given a County to rule [4], and laughing at your own jokes is a bad, bad sign. Still, it's there.
Oh, the big castle on the front cover is a (bad) photomanipulation of Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria [5]. It's the castle the classic Disney castle was based on. So there's that.
[Citation Needed]
In my opinion, it sounds more reasonable than many of the other titles. I was never big on Storm Prey for instance. There was a run of books with sibilent sounds — Sudden, Secret, Certain, all in a row — and while they might be good on their own, I can't see past the grouping now. And for Wicked Prey... does the Wicked really refer to the Prey? Especially since, for the plot, the prey is money? A lot of the titles don't work, is what I'm saying.
Or does it?
Yes, I know that if Olaf were made a count, his name would be the name of the county instead of Count Olaf. But when I thought "Count Olaf" I realized I could get in a secret reference to Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. So I went that way.
Don't try to convince me that it's not bad. I might be willing to settle for not very good at all, good gracious no, but it's unlikely. Art-wise, this is probably the weakest cover of this year's crop. The text, however, is fine. Every time I do stuff with text, I learn new tricks. But that's all they are — tricks. Art still eludes me.
Frozen is a Disney property, and as such is owned by The Walt Disney Company. Anna, Elsa, Olaf the Snowman, and Arendelle are also Disney properties. My use here is covered under both fair use and protected speech (as it's parody). The castle on the cover is Neuschwanstein Castle, in Baravaria, and isn't exactly covered by copyright (and if it is, said copyright has expired since the castle was built in 1869).

Kate McClure/GoFundMe
Couple who crowdfunded $400K for homeless man ordered to pay up [updated]
The homeless man alleges the couple spent the money on luxuries for themselves.
Sep 4, 2018, 2:28 pm*
Alex Dalbey
A judge has ordered a New Jersey couple to transfer what remains of the $400,000 they raised for a homeless man after he said they kept almost all the money for themselves.
The three people involved in the lawsuit came into each others' lives when Kate McClure, 28, ran out of gas on the interstate in October 2017. Johnny Bobbitt, a 35-year-old homeless man, gave her his last $20 to help her buy gas. To thank him, McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D'Amico, set up a GoFundMe for Bobbitt, with the goal of raising $10,000 to help him get a place to stay so he could get his life back on track.
That fundraiser went viral, eventually raising over $400,000. With that money, they were able to buy Bobbitt a camper that he lived in outside of the couples' home. Updates posted to the GoFundMe page and Instagram show the couple with Bobbitt in New York City four months ago, as well as Bobbitt sharing his journey to sobriety.
Ny was amazing!
A post shared by Johnny Bobbitt Jr. (@johnnys__journey) on Apr 27, 2018 at 9:21am PDT
But the relationship between Bobbitt and the couple has since soured. D'Amico and McClure said it's because of Bobbitt's addiction; Bobbitt said it's because they were withholding money and information from him.
Bobbitt sued McClure and D'Amico for the money they raised for him and said that they used the money for themselves rather than to help him. According to the BBC, Bobbitt's lawyers alleged the couple only spent $75,000 helping him, while the couples' lawyer said there's only $150,000 left. This begs the question: Where did the rest of the money go?
The couples' lawyer denied that they spent the money on themselves and said accounting will show the truth. Even if they spent all the money on Bobbitt, it still may not be so straightforward; Bobbitt alleges that they kicked him off their property in June and sold both the camper and the SUV that they bought for him, leaving him homeless once again.
The judge said that McClure and D'Amico must account for every dollar they crowdfunded.
H/T Jezebel
Update 2:25pm CT, Sept. 4: All of the money raised in Bobbitt's name is gone, according to his lawyer Chris Fallon.
The money was supposed to be turned in by Friday, but Fallon says the couple's attorney told him in a call this morning that there wasn't any more cash. A New Jersey Superior Court hearing is still set for tomorrow.

With the oversized finale to Gotham's third season being but a few hours away, it's understandable that the network will want to do all they can to help get word out. Having already released one extended promo, along with a sneak peek focusing on the urgency to find a cure for the Alice Tetch virus and a featurette spotlighting the debut of Ra's al Ghul, yet another extended trailer has now been offered up by Fox.
This one, while maintaining a sense of urgency, doesn't shy away from showcasing the many villains that'll be appearing. In the past, Gotham has had a problem with trying to wrap up too many plot threads involving its myriad of characters in its finales, a fault that not even the otherwise incredible season 2 was able to escape. This time, hopefully, things go a little smoother considering that two hours of breathing room have been afforded, and that villains have chosen sides in the coming war, so they won't be too spread out.
To its credit, the promo has plenty of material ripe for freeze-framing, allowing the most devoted of fans to comb it for clues within the next few hours. It doesn't seem like there are any Harley Quinn Easter eggs to be found, but you never know. One thing, however, is for certain: tonight brings big change for either Barbara Kean or Lee Thompkins, the two most likely to make the transition.


Friends of the Wild Whoopers (FOTWW) visited the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's (COE) Harlan County Lake recently to assess potential "stopover habitats" for Whooping Cranes. There is a growing need for more quality stopover areas during the Whoopers two 2,500 mile migrations each year. Typically, during migration, they stopover on lakes, natural wetlands and small ponds on private farms just to rest overnight. Like humans on a long trip they just need a small place to briefly stop, feed and then continue their journey.
While checking out potential areas to protect and develop for Whooping Cranes, FOTWW also looks for opportunities to help other wild critters. Importantly, Whooping Cranes are compatible with other wildlife and briefly share their habitats. Ensuring that sufficient areas with the proper conditions as stopover sites are available for Whoopers is important for the survival of the species. Practical management techniques implemented by conservation interest can help reduce potential morality that occurs during migration.
During FOTWW's visit, Park Manager Tom Zikmund led us on a tour of the lake property so that we could to examine the most likely places that would provide Whooping Crane "stopover habitats". Many potential areas were observed.
Harlan County Lake is large and has a comprehensive program. At top of conservation pool, the lake covers 13,250 surface acres. At top of the flood control pool, the lake covers 23,100 surface acres. A total of 17,750 acres of land surrounds the lake's nearly 75 miles of shoreline.
There have been considerable fluctuations in lake water levels over the years. During drawdowns of lake waters large expanses of mud flats and shallow pools are created that favor many wading birds including Whooping Cranes. Importantly much of the lake bed has a gradual rise in elevation. When water levels in the lake rise some shallow areas become too deep for wading birds while new shallow areas are created near the shore.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers environmental stewardship mission is to manage and conserve natural resources, consistent with ecosystem management principles, while providing public outdoor recreation to serve the needs of present and future generations. The Corps works in cooperation with several partners including the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. Because of this cooperative relationship, the Corps has been able to enhance and revitalize thousands of acres of land surrounding the lake.
Harlan County Lake's 7,875 acres of grassland is primarily classified as mixed grass prairie. Native prairies are managed by prescribed fire and hay production. Such practices help prevent invasion by non-native species, enhance prairie community health and increase wildlife habitat values. These grasslands can also provide important foraging areas for Whooping Cranes.
An important and effective habitat enhancement tools is the COE's Agricultural Lease Program on 3,500 acres. This program makes many acres of public lands available for lease to farmers for the purpose of crop and hay production. Leased lands agreements include specific conditions to protect and conserve soil and water while enhancing vegetation and wildlife resources. Major crops include corn, milo and wheat that are rotated annually. Leases require that portions of the crops be left in the fields to provide abundant food and cover for wildlife. These crop lands are near the lake and can also provide very important foraging areas for Whooping Cranes.
Although not a primary purpose for the construction of Harlan County Lake, recreation has increasingly become a major component in the Corp's multiple use approach to managing our nation's resources. Recreation and favorable fish and wildlife habitats are among those beneficial uses derived from this lake and others like it. With lake property open to all, there are many attractive areas for outdoor recreation including birding, water sports, hunting, fishing, and boating, or just relaxed living.
Figure 1. Whooping Cranes stopping over for the night to rest and feed.
Some of Harlan County Lake's shore area is developed for recreational use and Whooping Crane "stopover habitat" is not compatible with some of these areas. Importantly, considerable areas of the lake's nearly 75 miles of shoreline is shallow and is available as good "stopover roosting areas" for the cranes. Whoopers normally roost in areas with a water depth of 2 inches to 10 inches to help protect themselves from predators.
Several Whooping Cranes have been recorded using stopover sites on Harlan County Lake property. Whoopers normally migrate over or near Harlan County Lake during April (northward migration) and fall during October – November (southward migration). Whoopers normally stopover to rest late in the afternoon and depart early the following morning.
A big surprise to FOTWW is the use of Harlan County Lake by many species of birds.
COE Park Manager Tom Zikmund told FOTWW: "It has been an amazing year for migratory waterfowl here at Harlan County Reservoir. Here are some of the highlights: An estimated one million snow geese stopped over on the lake from about February 26 – March 5. This is one of the largest numbers we have had over the years. In addition we had an estimated 50,000 Canada geese. Canada geese were here this winter from about December 20 thru February 1, 2018. Currently approximately 150 White Pelicans are on the lake. Also, there are currently about 15 different species of ducks on Harlan County Lake including mallards, greenwing teal, redheads, scaups, pintails, gadwalls, shovelers, merganzers, buffleheads, canvasbacks, and goldeneyes. We estimate that there are approximately 25,000 ducks on the reservoir. Likewise, some grebes and coots are showing up as well. We have observed several groups of sandhill cranes loafing on the exposed lake bed but to date no whooping cranes have been reported. Whooping cranes have stopped over on Harlan County Lake in the past but we have not spotted them recently. Some may have visited and were not observed.
Figure 2. The site is typical of the bluff area around north side of Harlan County Lake. The photos illustrate features of an excellent "stopover area" for Whooping Cranes to rest and roost. The flight glide paths to the shore area for approaching cranes is clear of obstructions from several directions. The shore is wide and long making it an excellent site for Whooping Cranes to land. Extensive horizontal visibility from the shore and water roost site allows Whooping Cranes to detect any predators that may be in the area. The slope of the shore and lake edge is gradual and water depths of 2 to 10 inches are readily available for roosting sites. There is little or no emergent or submerged vegetation in lake at this roost area. This area is 200 or more yards from human development or disturbance such as power lines. Over 11,000 acres of foraging areas are located in grasslands and nearby agriculture fields with various grain crops. There are wild foods in adjacent managed grasslands that provide an abundance of insects, wild seeds and other wild food. Numerous other birds use these same habitats.
Figure 3. This site is typical of over a dozen sites along the 75 mile long lake shore. It is located north and west of the dam near Highway 193. It has similar preferred habitat features as those in Figure 2.

Home Global Village Let's counter "The Contractor"
Let's counter "The Contractor"
Ali Imran Jaffri |
In one of his recent tweets, Imran Khan urged every Pakistan to read the recently released autobiography cum an account of Mazang Chowk's incident by Raymond Davis and his ultimate detention and safe exit from Pakistan. I am not very positive as to what stirred Imran Khan for such an urge, though I am a skeptic that he probably he wished to accrue some political mileage out of it. Based on the sole view of a criminal who blatantly shot two Pakistani citizens (allegedly wanted dacoits) who himself had an identity crisis in proving his diplomatic status for immunity. How can IK blindly approve his accounts that he published after six years of his safe exit from Pakistan? If the Idea of IK was sole to implicate the ruling Nawaz Sharif Government and accuse the then President Asif Ali Zardari and the then Army Chief General Kayani and implicate the then ISI Chief Lieutenant General Pasha, then I believe the move is politically not very sound. I wonder why the media, IK and the rest of critics overlooked so many cracks highlighted by the so-called Mr. Innocent (R.Davis) in our institutional functionality.

IK has been a strong critic of the proclivity of our leaders in chickening out in front of the US. He has also been a vociferous advocate of talking tough with the US especially on the issue of sovereignty infringements through drones.He believes that people at the helm in Pakistan buckle under Uncle Sam's pressure which compromises on the country's national interests.

Some important questions
I wonder why the western world always view the blurred side of Pakistan? Having been in Pakistan for the second time in almost two years as Security Contractor, why could Raymond Davis only see the overcrowded streets, overloaded donkey carts, and filth around in the second largest city of Pakistan. Why couldn't he see the cultural richness and the modern lifestyle of Lahore? His account of 49 days retention in Kot Lakhpat Jail did highlight many breaches in our police system. Especially the way he was handled by the interrogators from the outset.
Did anyone question as to what happened to that vital gadget which could have provided irrefutable proof on the movement of its holders to help move the case in the right direction or at least would have helped the law enforcing agencies to extract valuable intelligence on the purpose and presence of "The Contractor"?
Lack of skills by police in handling a high-profile criminal and failing to extract the much-wanted intelligence out of a self-proclaimed hardy, robust and stubborn ex-US SF sergeant should have been visible to our opportunist politician to put own house in order. The lapses highlighted in a judicial proceeding, the legal procedural hiccups beamed more vividly then General Pasha sitting in the court and talking to US official providing live coverage of the court proceeding on the final hearing. Mr. Davis did mention about the GPS which had the record of all his and his predecessors' movements. Despite his effort to erase the record off that GPS, failed to do so and as per the author, the GPS was confiscated by the police and then there was never a mention of that GPS throughout his account.

Did anyone question as to what happened to that vital gadget which could have provided irrefutable proof on the movement of its holders to help move the case in the right direction or at least would have helped the law enforcing agencies to extract valuable intelligence on the purpose and presence of "The Contractor"? Whatever must have been the diplomatic constraints at that point and time, are best known to the people at the helm of affairs. There is a need to have some soul searching. Given the story is true, would it be totally sane to believe every word of it which comes from none other than the convicted man who actually shot two citizens of a sovereign state. Whose role and presence was not even explicitly proven by his own country. Had the case been so simple of he being a US diplomat, there wouldn't have been a 49 days detention. It's probably not fair to implicate ISI alone in the safe exit of Raymond Davis but the entire system needs to be blamed.
Instead of gaining political mileage and mudslinging for political gains we need to take stock of the system and institution responsible for running the system.
From the issue of granting a visa to the very essence of Sharia Laws and Diyat, we need to put things to a surgical scrutiny to find if these remain applicable/relevant to all sorts of situations or do we need to innovate something on the case to case basis?

Instead of gaining political mileage and mudslinging for political gains we need to take stock of the system and institution responsible for running the system. Instead of pitching treasury and opposition and other political leadership against each other on unlimited talk shows on media and burying the real issues under carpet, we certainly need to learn our lessons out of this case of diplomatic tangle and come out with a clear strategy to handle issues of such grave nature where diplomatic relations get on stake in a world of interdependence. We must also question the veracity of the book and also point out the dubious credibility of the author. A state derives its strength from the people trusting its institutions. The timing of the release quite conspicuously shows that the enemy wants to drive a wedge between the people and the state.

State v. One 1986 Subaru
120 N.J. 310 (1990)
STATE OF NEW JERSEY, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT, v. ONE 1986 SUBARU, N.J. REG. AXB-13X, SERIAL NO. JF1AX45B3GB302047, DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT.
The Supreme Court of New Jersey.
Argued January 29, 1990.
Decided July 23, 1990.
*312 John S. Redden, Deputy First Assistant Prosecutor, argued the cause for appellant (Herbert H. Tate, Jr., Essex County Prosecutor).
Ralph A. Colasanti argued the cause for respondent.
The opinion of the Court was delivered by POLLOCK, Justice.
*313 Appellant, State of New Jersey, acting through the Essex County Prosecutor's Office, seeks to forfeit the subject Subaru of claimant, Anthony Matarazzo. The Law Division dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim. R. 4:6-2(e). The Appellate Division affirmed, relying on the strict construction of the forfeiture statute, N.J.S.A. 2C:64-3a, and considerations of due process. 230 N.J. Super. 451, 553 A.2d 869 (1989).
We granted the State's petition for certification, 117 N.J. 61, 563 A.2d 826 (1989), and now affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand the matter to the Law Division.
Claimant was charged on October 1, 1987, with causing death by auto in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:11-5, a third-degree offense. The charges arose out of a drag race on April 20, 1986, on Bloomfield Avenue in Newark. On the same day that defendant was charged, officials of the Essex County Prosecutor's Office seized claimant's car, a 1986 Subaru. Thereafter, claimant was convicted of death by auto and sentenced to three years' probation, two hundred hours of community service, six months' suspension of his driver's license, and forfeiture of his employment with the Union Township Public Health Department.
During the pendency of the criminal proceeding, the State filed a complaint with the Clerk of the Superior Court, Law Division, seeking forfeiture of the Subaru pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:64-3a. The statute provides:
Whenever any property other than prima facie contraband is subject to forfeiture under this chapter, such forfeiture may be enforced by a civil action, instituted within 90 days of the seizure and commenced by the State and against the property sought to be forfeited.
Due to an error in the caption designating that the complaint was to be filed in the Special Civil Part, the clerk returned the pleading to the prosecutor on January 11, 1988, with instructions to refile it in the county of venue. The prosecutor *314 corrected the error, and on January 13, 1988, refiled the complaint with the Superior Court. For reasons unexplained in the record, the prosecutor did not issue a summons until February 23, 1988, forty-one days after filing the complaint. Subsequently, the summons and complaint were served on claimant on March 8, 1988.
Before service of the summons and complaint on claimant, the prosecutor's office filed a motion pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:64-3h for authorization to use the Subaru pending disposition of the matter. Claimant filed a cross-motion for dismissal of the forfeiture complaint and return of the car. He based his motion on the failure of the complaint to state a claim, R. 4:6-2(e), and on the delay in filing the complaint, N.J.S.A. 2C:64-3a, and in issuing the summons, R. 4:4-1. The trial court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim on which relief could be granted, holding that claimant's Subaru did not fall within the definition of non-prima facie contraband contained in N.J.S.A. 2C:64-1a(2).
The State appealed the dismissal for failure to state a claim, and the claimant cross-appealed the denial of dismissal for failure to timely file the complaint and issue a summons. The Appellate Division affirmed the dismissal because the summons had not issued within ten days, contrary to Rule 4:4-1. In reaching that result, the Appellate Division also stated that the complaint had been timely filed, and that N.J.S.A. 2C:64-1a(2) encompasses automobiles used to kill someone as a result of the driver's reckless conduct. 230 N.J. Super. at 458, 553 A.2d 869.
Initially, we must determine whether the Appellate Division's construction of the rules requiring dismissal was correct. N.J.S.A. 2C:64-3c provides that "the notice requirements of the Rules of Court for an in rem action shall be followed" in civil-forfeiture actions brought pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:64-3a. *315 For in rem actions, notice is given by delivery of a summons. R. 4:4-5. Pursuant to Rule 4:4-1, "[i]f a summons is not issued within 10 days after the filing of the complaint the action may be dismissed in accordance with R. 4:37-2(a)." (Emphasis added.) That Rule provides:
For failure of the plaintiff to cause a summons to issue within 10 days after filing the complaint * * *, the court in its discretion may on defendant's motion dismiss an action or any claim against him. Such a dismissal shall be without prejudice unless otherwise specified in the order. [Rule 4:37-2(a) (Emphasis added.)]
Read in conjunction with Rule 4:37-2(a), strict enforcement of the ten-day limit of Rule 4:4-1 is not required. Rule 4:4-1 states only that the court "may" dismiss for failure to timely issue the summons. Rule 4:37-2(a) makes clear that this decision is discretionary.
Ordinarily, in the absence of demonstrable prejudice to the defendant, a complaint should not be dismissed because of untimely issuance of a summons. McLaughlin v. Bassing, 51 N.J. 410, 241 A.2d 450 (1968), rev'g on dissent below 100 N.J. Super. 67, 241 A.2d 237 (App.Div. 1967); Moschou v. DeRosa, 192 N.J. Super. 463, 466-67, 471 A.2d 54 (App.Div. 1984); see also Crispin v. Volkswagenwerk, A.G., 96 N.J. 336, 345, 476 A.2d 250 (1984) (dismissal with prejudice for failure to timely issue summons proper "only when no lesser sanction will erase the prejudice suffered by the non-delinquent party"). The principal concern in determining prejudice is impairment of the defendant's ability to present a defense on the merits. Crispin, supra, 96 N.J. at 345, 476 A.2d 250; Moschou, supra, 192 N.J. Super. at 466-67, 471 A.2d 54. Prejudice occurs, for example, when defendants are disadvantaged in their ability to prepare a case as a result of disposing of necessary records after a limitations-of-actions period has run. See Moschou, supra, 192 N.J. Super. at 466-67, 471 A.2d 54.
At most, the State was fifty-four days late in issuing a summons against claimant. Because the State encountered difficulty in filing its complaint, it is not clear when the ten-day *316 period to issue the summons began. Resolution of that issue is immaterial to our disposition. Thus, we assume, without deciding, that the earlier date is controlling. A fifty-four-day delay is not so prejudicial as to require the trial court to dismiss the complaint. See McLaughlin, supra, 51 N.J. at 411, 241 A.2d 450 (upholding trial court's decision not to dismiss complaint when plaintiff did not issue summons for over three and one-half years after complaint filed).
Deprivation of the use of his car has not impaired claimant's ability to defend the forfeiture action. Any such deprivation, moreover, is irrelevant. The seizure and retention of the car was lawful under N.J.S.A. 2C:64-4a as a means of obtaining evidence for use in the pending criminal proceeding. See Warden v. Hayden, 387 U.S. 294, 301 n. 8, 87 S. Ct. 1642, 1648 n. 8, 18 L. Ed. 2d 782, 788 n. 8 (1967); State v. Bisaccia, 45 N.J. 504, 519, 213 A.2d 185 (1965). N.J.S.A. 2C:64-4a provides: "Nothing in this chapter shall impair the right of the State to retain evidence pending a criminal prosecution."
The Appellate Division applied a "strict construction" to Rule 4:37-2(a), relying in part on State v. 1979 Pontiac Trans Am, 98 N.J. 474, 487 A.2d 722 (1985). 230 N.J. Super. at 461, 553 A.2d 869. In 1979 Pontiac Trans Am, we restated the familiar principle that because forfeitures are disfavored in the law, forfeiture statutes should be strictly construed. 98 N.J. at 481, 487 A.2d 722. Strict construction, however, does not mean that courts can ignore the plain language of a statute or Rule. As we stated in 1979 Pontiac Trans Am, forfeiture statutes should be strictly construed only to the extent such a construction is "consistent with the fair principles of interpretation." Id. at 481, 487 A.2d 722. Rule 4:37-2(a) cannot be fairly construed to require dismissal in forfeiture proceedings. The Rule expressly places discretion to dismiss in the trial court. Here, the trial court declined to exercise that discretion.
We likewise find unjustified the Appellate Division's dismissal of the complaint because of due-process considerations. *317 The State may seize property before affording the owner notice and an opportunity for a hearing. Calero-Toledo v. Pearson Yacht Leasing Co., 416 U.S. 663, 677, 94 S. Ct. 2080, 2088-89, 40 L. Ed. 2d 452, 464 (1974). Legally-seized property may be retained as long as the retention is reasonably related to the government's legitimate need for it. See United States v. Premises known as 608 Taylor Ave., 584 F.2d 1297, 1302-04 (3d Cir.1978). In United States v. $8,850, the Supreme Court discussed four factors to be weighed in determining whether delay in the initiation of a forfeiture action violates due-process rights: (1) the length of the delay; (2) the reasons for the delay; (3) whether the claimant has asserted his right to a hearing; and (4) whether the claimant has been prejudiced by the delay. 461 U.S. 555, 564, 103 S. Ct. 2005, 2012, 76 L. Ed. 2d 143, 152 (1983). Under that test, courts must balance "the interests of the claimant and the Government to assess whether the basic due process requirement of fairness has been satisfied in a particular case." Id. at 565, 103 S. Ct. at 2012, 76 L. Ed. 2d at 152. There is "no obvious bright line dictating when a post-seizure hearing must occur." Id. at 562, 103 S. Ct. at 2011, 76 L. Ed. 2d at 151.
The Appellate Division determined that the "prosecutor's reliance" on $8,850 was "misplaced." 230 N.J. Super. at 460, 553 A.2d 869. It distinguished that case because there claimant received notice that his property was subject to forfeiture within several days of the seizure. Ibid. By comparison, Matarazzo "received his first notice of possible forfeiture 156 days after seizure." Ibid. Because of the factual differences between the two cases, the Appellate Division deemed inapplicable the test set forth in $8,850. Notwithstanding those factual differences, we believe that $8,850 controls. Provided that the State's possession of seized property is lawful, prompt notice that property is subject to forfeiture, although desirable, is not constitutionally mandated. The purpose of notice of forfeiture is to permit the owner to present objections. Notice is adequate if it is given before the forfeiture hearing.
*318 The "overarching factor" is length of the delay. 461 U.S. at 565, 103 S. Ct. at 2012, 76 L. Ed. 2d at 153. Because they impose a lesser burden on the owner's right to possession, short delays are more justifiable than long ones. Ibid. "Closely related to the length of delay" is the second factor, the government's reason for delaying. Ibid. Short delays may be necessary to allow the government to decide whether it is going to institute forfeiture proceedings. Id. at 565, 103 S. Ct. at 2012-13, 76 L. Ed. 2d at 153. The government may also need to delay civil forfeiture proceedings to prevent interference with a pending criminal proceeding. Id. at 567, 103 S. Ct. at 2013, 76 L. Ed. 2d at 154.
Whether the owner of the seized property asserted his right to a judicial hearing is also an important factor. Claimants can file replevin actions to seek the return of seized property. Id. at 569, 103 S. Ct. at 2014, 76 L. Ed. 2d at 155; Ben Ali v. Towe, 30 N.J. Super. 19, 103 A.2d 158 (App.Div. 1954); see R. 4:61-1 to -5 (Rules governing replevin actions). Similarly, if the seizure itself was improper, the seized property can be retrieved under the Rules of Criminal Procedure. Fed.R.Crim.P. 41(e) (federal); R. 3:5-7 (New Jersey); see Lopez v. New Jersey Bell Tel. Co., 51 N.J. 362, 371, 240 A.2d 670 (1968). Because of the availability of procedures to recover seized property, a claimant's inaction may weigh against a claim that his or her due-process rights have been violated. $8,850, supra, 461 U.S. at 569, 103 S. Ct. at 2014, 76 L. Ed. 2d at 155.
The last factor, prejudice, is measured by the same standard applied under Rule 4:37-2(a): whether the claimant's ability to defend against forfeiture has been impaired. $8,850, supra, 461 U.S. at 569, 103 S. Ct. at 2014, 76 L. Ed. 2d at 155.
Balancing the four factors, we find that claimant was not deprived of his right to due process. For purposes of due process, delays in initiating forfeiture proceedings are measured from the time that the property is seized. In this case, the length of the deprivation was five months and one week, a *319 period of time substantially shorter than the eighteen months that was found not to violate due-process rights in $8,850. Id. at 569, 103 S. Ct. at 2015, 76 L. Ed. 2d at 155. The reason for the delay was that the State wanted to use the car as evidence in the criminal proceeding. Thus, the State was justified in delaying the forfeiture proceeding while the criminal proceeding was pending. Claimant never requested a judicial hearing. His only step to regain possession of the Subaru was to make several informal requests to the prosecutor's office similar to those found to be inadequate in $8,850. Id. at 569, 103 S. Ct. at 2014, 76 L. Ed. 2d at 155. As previously indicated, the record is devoid of relevant evidence indicating that claimant has been prejudiced in his ability to present a defense in the forfeiture proceeding.
Consequently, we conclude that the Appellate Division erred in ruling that the complaint should be dismissed for failure to issue a summons within ten days.
We now turn to the applicability of the forfeiture statute to claimant's car. The trial court dismissed the State's complaint because it concluded that the claimant's use of his car did not fit within the definition of non-prima facie contraband in N.J.S.A. 2C:64-1a(2). The Appellate Division determined, however, that the statutory language was broad enough to encompass an automobile used to kill someone because of the driver's reckless conduct. N.J.S.A. 2C:64-1a(2) provides:
a. Any interest in the following shall be subject to forfeiture and no property right shall exist in them: (2) All property which has been, or is intended to be, utilized in furtherance of an unlawful activity, including, but not limited to, conveyances intended to facilitate the perpetration of illegal acts, or buildings or premises maintained for the purpose of committing offenses against the State.
Here, the critical issue is whether claimant's car was "utilized in furtherance of an unlawful activity." That clause is not defined in the statute, and the legislative history sheds no light *320 on its meaning. By its terms, the clause does not require proof of intent to use for an unlawful purpose. "Furtherance" is a familiar term, which means "a helping forward," Webster's Third New International Dictionary 924 (1976), or an "[a]ct of furthering, helping forward, promotion, advancement or progress," Black's Law Dictionary 608 (5th ed. 1979). As the Appellate Division perceived, all that is required is "a direct causal relationship between the use of the property and the unlawful activity." 230 N.J. Super. at 457, 553 A.2d 869. It suffices if the reckless operation of defendant's car was the direct cause of the victim's death.
Although forfeiture statutes are to be strictly construed, 1979 Pontiac Trans Am, supra, 98 N.J. at 481, 487 A.2d 722, the language of N.J.S.A. 2C:64-1a(2) is too clear to be denied. Our concerns about innocent owners, which we expressed in 1979 Pontiac Trans Am, are now treated in N.J.S.A. 2C:64-5, which provides that seized property
shall not be subject to forfeiture if the owner of the property establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that the owner was not involved in or aware of the unlawful activity and that the owner had done all that could reasonably be expected to prevent the proscribed use of the property by an agent * * *.
That defense demonstrates legislative awareness of the need to limit the reach of the statute against "innocent owners who did all they reasonably could to prevent misuse of their property." 1979 Pontiac Trans Am, supra, 98 N.J. at 452, 487 A.2d 722.
The Appellate Division summarized the applicability of the statute:
Here, causing death by auto depended on using the car in a reckless manner. N.J.S.A. 2C:2-3a(1) provides that "conduct is the cause of a result when it is an antecedent but for which the result in question would not have occurred." It was the car which its owner operated allegedly in a reckless manner while drag racing. Similarly, it was the car which allegedly struck and killed the victim * * *. We conclude that if the car was driven recklessly as defined in N.J.S.A. 2C:2-2b(3) and caused the death of Stephen Janczewsky as required by N.J.S.A. 2C:11-5, and as alleged in the complaint, then the car is subject to the forfeiture provisions of N.J.S.A. 2C:64-1a(2). Consequently, the complaint was improperly dismissed for failure to state a cause of action. [230 N.J. Super. at 457-58, 553 A.2d 869.]
*321 The judgment of the Appellate Division is affirmed in part, reversed in part, and the matter is remanded to the Law Division.
For affirmance in part; reversal in part; and remandment Chief Justice WILENTZ and Justices POLLOCK, CLIFFORD, HANDLER, O'HERN, GARIBALDI, and STEIN 7.
Opposed None.

19 Years Ago: Soul Coughing Release 'Irresistible Bliss'
James Stafford
James Stafford Published: July 9, 2015
Warner / Amazon
Grunge was such a dominant force at the beginning of the '90s that the mid-90s seemed musically directionless. Sure, there were some great albums released in 1996, but that single dominant sound that comes along every couple of generations was nowhere to be heard.
It was a good time if you were in the market for a 12-pack of Eddie Vedder impersonators, but if you were looking for an eclectic fusion of jazz, alternative, poetry, and hip hop, the post-grunge era wasn't exactly a golden age. Enter Soul Coughing.
They were a strange mix for a major label band. Sebastian Steinberg favored an acoustic double bass over a more hip-hop/funk friendly Fender Precision, for example. Drummer Yuval Gabay – his partner in the rhythm section – was capable of laying back in the pocket or building eccentric beats, whichever the song needed. On keyboards and samplers, Soul Coughing featured Mark De Gli Antoni, who earned a master's degree in music composition.
But as is often the case, when we think of Soul Coughing, we think of their front man, Mike Doughty. After all, It's his words that we hear and they are emanating from his mouth. Right or wrong, singers attract the spotlight.
On July 9, 1996, Soul Coughing released Irresistible Bliss, the second of only three albums the band would release over the four years spanning 1994 to 1998. The album was at once fresh, innovative and mildly pretentious with Doughty's spoken word tumbling over the well-crafted tracks like some sort of displaced Beat poet. In typical sophomore fashion, the critics greeted the album with comparisons to the band's acclaimed debut, 1994's Ruby Vroom. Irresistible Bliss was slicker, not as loose, more "produced" and even dull. Still, cuts like "The Idiot Kings" sound as good today as they did nearly 20 years ago.
Remember: This was major label stuff, no matter how idiosyncratic. Soul Coughing hit the promotional circuit, turning up on Conan for a tasty version of "Soundtrack to Mary:"
On the Soul Coughing Underground website, Doughty gives a nod to his band mates' performance on "Soundtrack to Mary:"
This song, in my estimation, is Yuval and Sebastian's finest hour. When the bass and drums kick in after the first verse–damn, that kills me softly. Just bought these huge speakers, too–my roommate Jason calls 'em The Big Ass Biscuits–and that kick-in is monstrous, massive, on them. Basically it's this wan lil' pop song powered by a low end twice the size of the biggest jeep beat you could think of. I am proud to be the geek that gets to surf the Rhythm Section of Doom.
The kind words wouldn't last long, though. The band hung together through 1998's El Oso, but when the end came, it was brutal. As often happens, battles over songwriting and control led to a bitter divorce, with Doughty claiming that he wrote all of the music and the rest of the band claiming that many songs were collaborative efforts that grew out of jam sessions.
In a 2012 article for Pitch, Doughty conceded that "there was a lot of stuff that came from jamming — a keyboard part or a beat," but he drew the line there, noting that "in the end, songs are things that are sung. And I was the only guy writing stuff that was sung."
In the same article, keyboardist De Gli Antoni is quoted:
I could enter a rehearsal with Sebastian and Yuval, begin playing a shell of something, and the two of them would then completely invent a whole drum-bass world around that. I would then drop what I was initially doing and do something else. Mike would then start riffing words, and eventually we would have a 'Super Bon Bon.' To me, the final result is something I would never say I 'wrote' even if I started it, because the end result was so something-else. Many, many of our songs were like that.
What followed was nearly 20 years of bitterness with Doughty slagging his old band, while his old band mates went on with their lives. De Gli Antoni writes film scores and Steinberg made a career for himself as a session musician and sideman backing Fiona Apple, Eddie Vedder and Johnny Marr, just to name a few. Drummer Yuval Gabay remains busy, too.
As for lead singer Doughty, he moved away from the eclectic sound of Soul Coughing, opting instead for a more conventional singer-songwriter approach that has been very successful. In 2012, he published his memoir, The Book of Drugs, in which he talks quite a bit about Soul Coughing, and several YouTube videos exist of the singer talking about how he doesn't want to talk about Soul Coughing, likening his time with the band as an abusive relationship. During solo shows, he adamantly declined to play Soul Coughing songs, peppering his social media feeds with demands to be left alone regarding his former band. Pitch quotes a 2010 tweet from the singer: "Dear Soul Coughing fans, please DROP IT. I am NOT THAT GUY ANYMORE. If you must cling to it, please DON'T BOTHER ME WITH SOUL COUGHING S--T."
You can probably guess what eventually happened: Doughty mounted a successful 2013 crowdfunding campaign to record solo versions of the songs that he didn't want to be bothered with, including tracks from Irresistible Bliss:
According to Doughty, there is no amount of money that would coax him into a reunion with his former bandmates. But, for the small but enthusiastic group of fans that still love Soul Coughing that's bitter medicine, we'll always have Irresistible Bliss -- that weird, lovely record that cut through the post-grunge wilderness.

As an introduction to our theme of 'The Little Red Hen', we all made bread to take home. Caz Pearce, Community Champion from Sainsburys in Worthing, came along to show us how.
We practised our weighing, mixing and kneading skills to make the dough. Caz then baked it in the oven and split each loaf into quarters.
We hope you enjoyed tasting our bread!

Standing in front of her Tasmanian oak vanity in her bedroom, my mother cloaked in towels – one around her body and another wrapped around her head like a turban – she would apply moisturiser all over. There wasn't one inch of her skin that she hadn't meticulously and gently nourished with cream.
Her process, which took place every morning, was somewhat religious and to a daughter's bright eyes, somewhat romantic. Every morning, my mother followed the same skincare routine and bathed in the 10 or so minutes that were hers and hers alone (I'm sure caring for two young daughters and a husband will do that to you).
I remember running my eyes (and tiny fingers) across open jewellery boxes, Elizabeth Arden Red Door eau de parfum and many different beauty products covered in Japanese or Korean writing I couldn't understand, which sat on her doily-covered vanity. Doilies, mum? Really?
At the time, I was young (maybe 8 or 9) but thanks to my Filipino-born mother (who emigrated to Australia at the age of 29 after being pen pals with my father for a few years – cute!), I began to understand the importance of caring for one's skin and one's self. Those morning rituals spread out over past decades are evidence. Now aged 57, my beautiful mother looks as if she's in her late 40's. And, me? I'm not young anymore but I do practice what I was taught.
My first real brush with high-quality, efficacious skincare came at the age of 17. I was studying in my final year at high school (side note: I was a massive nerd, who truly believed the be-all and end-all lied with my final exams – FYI, it doesn't, kids!). At the time, hormones and stress prompted the type of teen acne that makes you quiver. You know, the deep purple-red, inflamed type of pimples that makes you mutter the words "ouch" without even realising you've said it out loud. Yeah, I had that!
At the risk of being screamed at to get out of a room by her sullen, rebellious daughter for absolutely no apparent reason (sorry ma!), my mother gave me a half-used bottled of her SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. The bottle, which she would have friends and family bring home for her from Asia, was covered in Japanese writing. Most would've assumed it was fancy drinking water distilled in a Japanese onsen but through the lessons learned from my mother, I began soaking a cotton pad with the Essence – known affectionately as "miracle water" – and patted it gently onto my pimple-covered face. Combined with a gentle pH balancing cleanser, a spot treatment (which was, in retrospect, waaaaay too harsh for any teen's skin and a long way from where product technology thankfully is today) and a Dove tinted moisturiser, after two weeks, my skin began to clear.
Within three months, my complexion wasn't just clear; it was glowing.
At 18 years of age and at the end of my battle with bitching hormones and stupid school stress, I had come out of the fight scathed with a couple of war scars. Truthfully, they were minor but they were visibly there on my cheeks. To you, they might've seemed insignificant but to a teenage girl, they were giant craters that could've been seen on the moon. Since that day, I have used SK-II Facial Treatment Essence every single morning and every single night and the scars have since disappeared (along with the lousy high school boyfriend – thank God!).
Ten years on, my entire skin care routine (which ranges through from cream cleanser, essence and serum to eye cream, day cream and treatment mask) is entirely SK-II. Those 10 minutes to myself each morning is where I mentally open and close the "tabs" in my brain ahead of my busy day as editor and publisher of Gritty Pretty.
It's the time when I can give myself – and my skin – a moment of peace. Like mother, like daughter.

1. van Eijken, Hanneke. European citizenship and the constitutionalisation of the European Union.
The concept of citizenship in relatively new legal order of the European Union has its own meaning and dynamics compared to national citizenship. One of the important questions regarding this transnational form of citizenship is how to place this European citizenship in a constitutional context in the European Union. In that context, this thesis, examines the main research question: How does European citizenship affect the process of constitutionalisation of the European Union? This question implies that European citizenship is of a constitutional nature and affects the characteristics of the European Union, transforming from an international organisation cooperating on economic aims towards a more constitutional legal order. Constitutionalisation of the European Union is regarded as the process in which the European Union acquires more features that are commonly found in a constitution, and which is explored through the prism of four constitutional elements: the vertical division of powers, the existence of a common ideology (democracy and fundamental rights), justiciability and constitutional primacy. The effect of European citizenship on each of these constitutional elements is analysed in this thesis. Advisors/Committee Members: Prechal, Sacha.

2. Takàcs, T. Participation in EU decision making: Implications for the Hungarian political institutions.
URL: http://dspace.library.uu.nl:8080/handle/1874/31843
Amongst the main concerns that preceded the European Union's all time biggest enlargement of 2004 was whether the new Member States would smoothly integrate into the EU decision-making procedures. The worrying speculations of how the difference between the interest, political- and negotiation cultures of 'old' and 'new' Member States would slow down decision making in the EU ? turned out to be wrong. Empirical studies show that the accession of the new Member States did not slow down the legislative machinery of the EU. However, the challenge that the 'new' countries ? amongst them Hungary ? faced, were manifold and required significant constitutional and institutional preparation and adaptation for acting as Member State. The constitutional preparation required the introduction of the 'Europe clause', an authorizing article laying down the rules on the transfer of competences from national to EU level. In Hungary, the years-long debates resulted in a constitutional amendment that authorized the exercise of the powers at the EU level replacing the originally sole exercise by the Hungarian governmental institutions. The thesis analyzed the institutional linkages between the national institutions and the EU level in the different stages leading up to EU lawmaking. The coordination of EU policy at national level revolves around the establishment of a position that Hungarian representatives will exert in the EU decision making. The Government's dominant role in operating the coordination structure through a multi-layered construct connecting departments reinforces the tendencies prior to accession, when the Government played a central role in the conduct of accession negotiations and the Parliament acted as a bystander. After accession, the Parliament augmented its intention to join the Government in the conduct of EU policies and now scrutinizes the participation of this latter in the EU law-making processes. The parliamentary involvement includes significant information and deliberating rights. However, despite the existing control tools that Parliament has at its disposal, practice has shown that Parliament has not held Government to account for its deeds in the legislative discussions in Brussels or enforced its views previously expressed. The national position is then channeled into the Brussels arena. The matrix of networks that Government has established in Brussels centers around the work and function of the Permanent Representation, but extends to various other actors in Brussels and has on multiple occasions lead to successful lobbying and interest-representation in the EU law-making process. Once the EU act is adopted, it arrives back to national level to exert its effect. For this aim, additional implementing legislation by national institutions is sometimes required. In this respect, the Hungarian legislative principles maintain principles such as democracy and the primacy of Parliament's legislative role vis-୶is Government. Thus, while implementing legislation is a 'new' task as well, it fits neatly into… Advisors/Committee Members: Prechal, Sacha, Petrétei, J..

3. Verhoeven, M.J.M. The Costanzo obligation.
National administrative authorities are obliged to leave provisions of national law unapplied when these are incompatible with EU law. Irrespective of their position and powers under national law, national administrative authorities are supposed to comply with this so-called 'Costanzo obligation' as established by the Court of Justice. This raises questions of both European Union law and national constitutional law, particularly with regard to the principle of legality. This book explores three issues. Which European obligations apply to national administrative authorities with regard to provisions of national law that are incompatible with directly effective provisions of European law? Which national constitutional obstacles do they come across by giving effect to these obligations? And how should the tensions between the European obligations and the national constitutional obstacles be solved? The national law part of the research is focused on the legal systems of France, Germany and the Netherlands. The last question combines the European and national perspective and reveals a clash, which gives rise to the question whether the obligation in the current form should be maintained. Advisors/Committee Members: Prechal, Sacha, Widdershoven, Rob.

Azer (Pope Kirillos) was born on August 2, 1902 from Christian parents. His father was a deacon who spent his spare time teaching hymns and writing about the saints. He loved the church and used to spend long hours praying, and reading the holy Bible in his room. Every year, by tradition, the whole family spent one week in the town of Abyr during the feast of St. Menas (Mari Mina).
When Azer was 25 years old he resigned from his job, and joined Al-Baramus Monastery. His name was changed to Brother Mina. He was loved by all the other monks for his care and help to the elders and the sick. On July 18, 1931 Mina the monk was ordained priest and became Father Mina.
Father Mina loved to live in solitude, and decided to live in a cave two miles away from the monastery. Every Saturday he would go back to the monastery to attend the Vespers prayers, and spend the night there in order to attend the Sunday Mass and share in the Holy Communion.
Lots of people used to visit Father Mina, seeking his prayer sand blessings. The Lord helped him perform great miracles of healing and solving different problems. A group of people who loved Father Mina and his intercessor Mari Mina started a big project in old Cairo. They built the monastery of Mari Mina, for those who seek the blessing of this great saint, and also to serve as a living place for out-of-town students.
After Pope Usab (the 115th pope) died, Father Mina, among other monks, was nominated to succeed the departed pope. On April 19, 1959 the Altar Lot took place: Father Mina's name was drawn. The cathedral bells rang, and everybody rejoiced at the Lord choice. A good shepherd had been chosen for the Coptic people: Father Mina, who now became Pope Kirillos VI.
The fact that Father Mina became the new Pope did not change him. He regularly evening and morning incense, and celebrated daily masses as usual. In this content, Pope Shenouda says, "Church history has no record of anyone like Pope Kirillos. He celebrated mass over twelve thousand time, a fact unheard of in the history of the popes of Alexandria, or the world. He was wonderful in his prayers. He trusted the Lord was able to solve his problems, and he saw that it was only through mass and prayers that problems should be solved, and not through human efforts."
Pope Kirillos started a spiritual movement among his people. Thousand of worshipers attended his daily masses, and went to him seeking his blessing and prayers. He showed them the way of the Lord, as they felt his fatherly love and care. His spiritual care was extended to the Orthodox people all over the world. Coptic churches started tin Kuwait, Canada, United States, and Australia.
The appearance of the Virgin Mary at her church in Zeitoun (a suburb of Cairo) was a unique spiritual event that crowned the reign of Pope Kirillos. This heavenly declaration was the first of its kind since the descent of the Holly Spirit on the disciples on the day of the Pentecost. The appearance was repeated night after night. It was seen by thousands of people, Christians and non-Christians alike. Miracles were performed at the time of the appearances, which brought many people back to their faith, and led to the conversion of many others.
The Lord also crowned the days of Pope Kirillos with the return of the holy body of St. Mark the Apostle from Venice in Italy to Egypt. It is now laid into the new Cathedral in Abbasia, which was also built by Pope Kirillos, and considered to be the largest Cathedral in the Middle East.
One of the greatest achievements of Pope Kirillos was the construction of St. Menas (Mari Mina) Monastery in Maryut near Alexandria. The Lord helped him build this monastery of this beloved saint and intercessor, through whom he performed thousands of miracles and solved may difficult problems.
On March 9, 1971 the Pope passed away. He was seated in white clothes, with his crown on his head, and was seated in his chair in the old cathedral. Approximately one million people came to cast as last look at their departed pope who loved them, and whom they loved. Today, the body of Pope Kirillos VI is laid in Mari Mina's Monastery beside his beloved saint.
Tens of books were written to record the thousands of miracles and the numerous appearances by Pope Kirillos the Sixth before and after his departure.
May the blessing of this great Saint Pope Kirillos VI, and the intercession of the Wonder-worker Mari Mina be with us all. Amen.
will be pursued by dignity, and will be led to it by people.
"... Watching this elderly man, near the age of seventy, rise daily at four o'clock in the morning to pray with intensity and perseverance, made many feel small in their own eyes by comparison. People would come to the church and find this venerable old man had been praying since dawn. The church was his whole life. His love for the liturgies ran in his veins like his blood. Psalms and prayers were like the air he breathed. It was never beneath his position as the pope to join the chanter of the church counter singing with him the Psalmody. For more than thirty five years he continued to celebrate the mass daily..."
On Pope Kyrillos, by His Holiness Pope Shenouda III, 117th Pope of Alexandria and successor of Pope Kyrillos VI.
When the monastery of Saint Samuel was restored, he left that area and moved to a deserted windmill in El-Moukatam mountain at the outskirts of Cairo (see figure on the right). This windmill was totally abandoned and very dangerous. It was miles from the nearest city. Many dangerous animals can be found there at all times, like scorpions and snakes. Here, Father Mina spent his time praying and contemplating because of his love for his Saviour.

Loads of people ask me me 'just how good are these super duper running blades we've seen at the Paralympics? Answer: brilliant. I did my first marathon http://www.virginmoneylondonmarathon.com as an amputee in 1996 less than a year after I'd left hospital and since then the improvements in lower leg prosthesis are awesome. I finished my first in just over five and half hours. 10 years later I was nearly two hours faster. With a high activity limb I would run a mile in 10 to 11 minutes, after I got my first blade, run it in gradually and done some training I was well under seven minutes.
The next logical question is can an amputee have an advantage? From a mechanical, bio-mechanical and health science perspective it's really difficult to measure this. I've worked with many healthcare professionals and one recently informed me that 52% of all health science statistics are made up in the pub! If I had to guess based on my own experience, when the carbon fibre is warmed up and on a perfectly flat, hard energy return surface like a running track or well surfaced flat road; I think my prosthesis feels slightly more powerful than my real leg. Any advantage however is immediately lost if you go onto a slightly uneven or soft surface. I can remember being third in a cross-country race for the road section and then dropping back to the rear of the field on an uneven muddy riverside path.
If there is a consensus amongst amputees and professionals it would seem to be that a double below knee amputee (with mature and robust stumps) on an even and flat surface might well have an advantage over an able-bodied athlete of similar stature and fitness.
So is it likely that the blade will be developed that can go on rough ground?
