Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a very large class of man-made chemicals that includes PFOA, PFOS, and GenX chemicals. Since the 1940s, PFAS have been manufactured and used in a variety of industries in the United States and around the globe. PFAS are found in everyday items such as food packaging and non-stick, stain repellent, and waterproof products, including clothes and other products used by outdoor enthusiasts. PFAS are also widely used in industrial applications and for firefighting. PFAS can enter the environment through production or waste streams and are very persistent in the environment and the human body. There is toxicological evidence that some PFAS have adverse reproductive, developmental and immunological effects in animals and humans.
A growing number of published reports of PFAS exposures is leading to a growing level of interest and concern by states, tribes, and other localities, who are looking to EPA to support them by providing information for understanding and managing risk of PFAS to public health and the environment.
Providing technical expertise and support to EPA regions, states and communities.

WINKING OUR WAY TO ADVENTURE.
Wink is Manila's professional laser expert that helps girls get ready for their next great escape. Each skin treatment (done by nurses, no less) feels like how their locations look — a day in the tropics and a step towards carefree travels wherever your feet may go. They believe that laser should be safe, easy, and fairly priced, so they built a brand with medical-grade expertise, just for the girl with a constant thirst for adventure and a year-round yearning for the sun.
Wink presented itself with two opposing faces — one that showed its technical expertise, and another that embraced adventure. Despite this, Wink was expanding rapidly into many new locations and needed to standardize how it looked, spoke and felt to its audience of adventurers. Wink then engaged us to audit their brand from visual to verbal, digital to physical, environmental to experiential, in order to design an experience that achieved the delicate balance of its two antithetical sides.
We immersed ourselves in Wink. We visited all of Wink's 6 branches at the time of the project to see how the full Wink experience would fare, not just online but most importantly offline. Since this project, Wink has set the bar for us for what hair removal and laser treatments should be, but we found that it would communicate a stronger message if its efforts were streamlined.
Through a study of existing customer reviews and interviews, we were able to find the service benefits that were most valuable to the Wink Girl lifestyle: a Worry-Free, Fuss-Free and Carefree experience of, one, getting Winked and, two, going on an adventure.
Among many things, we designed an iconic brand wall that greeted passers by in every Wink location, to simultaneously pique their interest and inform them of Wink's services. A lifestyle and lay-friendly approach was taken in designing materials for both the laser newbie and the Wink regular.
Today, Wink has doubled their locations all over Metro Manila — each one boasting their iconic brand wall. With the help of the audit, their in-house team was equipped to overhaul their website, improve social media content and dedicate an entire microsite for their own blog.

Q: continue statement in a do while loop #include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
enum {false, true};

int main()
{
   int i = 1;
   do
   {
      printf("%d\n", i);
      i++;
      if (i < 15)
        continue;
   } while (false);

   getchar();
   return 0;
}

What happens after the continue statement is executed in this code?
Where does the control go?

A: The next statement will be while (false); which ends the do-while loop so after that it executes getchar();
In general:
do
{
    ...
    statements
    ...

    continue;   // Act as "GOTO continue_label"

    ...
    statements
    ...

continue_label:
} while (...);

If you want to try it out, you can use this code:
int i = 0;
do
{
    printf("After do\n");
    ++i;
    if (i < 2)
    {
        printf("Before continue\n");
        continue;
    }
    printf("Before while\n");
} while(printf("Inside while\n") && i < 2);

Output + comments to explain:
After do              // Start first loop
Before continue       // Execute continue, consequently "Before while" is not printed
Inside while          // Execute while
After do              // Start second loop
Before while          // Just before the while (i.e. continue not called in this loop)
Inside while          // Execute while

A:
ISO/IEC 9899:2011, 6.8.6.2 The continue statement
[...]
(2) A continue statement causes a jump to the loop-continuation
portion of the smallest enclosing iteration statement; that is, to the
end of the loop body. More precisely, in each of the statements
while (/* ... */) {
/* ... */
continue;
/* ... */
contin: ;
}

do {
/* ... */
continue;
/* ... */
contin: ;
} while (/* ... */);

for (/* ... */) {
/* ... */
continue;
/* ... */
contin: ;
}

[...] it is equivalent to goto contin;

What happens after continue statement is executed in this code? Where does the control go?
To the end of the loop, i.e. while ( false ) in your code, which will exit the loop.

A: From here:

The continue statement passes control to the next iteration of the
nearest enclosing do, for, or while statement in which it appears,
bypassing any remaining statements in the do, for, or while statement
body

Because the closest one of these is the while(false) statement, execution flow continues to that statement, and exits the loop.
This would be true even if there were other statements between the continue and while(false)  For example:
int main()
{
   int i = 1;
   do
   {
      printf("%d\n", i);
      i++;
      if (i < 15)
        continue;          // forces execution flow to while(false)
      printf("i >= 15\n"); // will never be executed
   } while (false);
   ...

The continue; statement here means the printf statement following it will never be executed because execution flow continues to the nearest one of the loop constructs.  Again, in this case while(false).

A: When you use continue statement, further statements inside the loop get skipped and control goes to next iteration which is "condition check" in your case (in case of for loop, it goes to the third statement of for loop where increment/decrement is done to a variable generally). Since the condition is "false", iteration stops.

Publicans need taste for five a day as they battle Netflix and gym
Business consultant Alan O'Neill writes a weekly column about making the most of your business for The Sunday Independent. In this week's column he focuses on the challenges faced by rural pubs and highlights Irish Pun Awards winner, The Porter House, Castlebridge, Wexford as an example of a pub doing things right.
The feature is a good insight into how a business expert like Alan views the trade and is well worth reading. Here is the article in full:
The pub trade has gone through massive change in the last 10 years. Social attitudes have changed drinking habits. Competition for footfall comes from the couch and Netflix, the gym and other healthy activities. Other major challenges include the cost of insurance, the availability of qualified staff and new taxes.
The old role of the local publican, pulling a few pints and chatting to customers all-day long, has changed beyond recognition. Pubs now need to be focused and organised businesses with a strong emphasis on the customer, on events, marketing, on margin and return on investment.
"As a result, publicans have upped their game with a renewed focus on quality, the customer and on food," says Padraig Cribben, chief executive of Vintners Federation of Ireland. A Bord Bia report shows that 17pc of all food consumed outside the home is in pubs.
One great example of the modern rural pub is The Porter House in Castlebridge. Five minutes from Wexford town, this 100-year-old hostelry has been transformed into a modern and well-run diversified business. Taken over in 2012 by local man Myles Doyle and his wife Sharon, they have turned the Porter House into a popular food, drink and entertainment venue.
Myles and Sharon got serious about food in 2015. Not only is this an extra and significant source of income, it's also a great footfall driver particularly during the middle of the day.
The owners of owners of The Porter House, Myles and Sharon Doyle
Serving food, however, is not easy. Kitchen equipment is costly and getting consistency in quality is essential. Balancing the menu mix, portion control and waste management in order to maximize margin is an ongoing requirement. But most publicans will acknowledge that the win far outweighs the pain.
Myles was determined to make this a success and attended food health and safety training. He is also mindful of the pub being the heartbeat of the local community and appreciates that he should be supportive of local clubs and committees. It takes a lot of time but he happily does it anyway.
All of that has paid off for Myles and Sharon. The Porter House has been named the Irish Pub of the Year and Best Local Pub 2017 at the inaugural Irish Pub Awards, jointly run by VFI and Licensed Vintners Association.
Recent challenges
While I do empathise with the stress and frustration of balancing effort and return, it's surprising the number of rural pubs in Ireland that remain closed till late afternoon.
Many have tried different things and succeeded. The big concern for me is that there is a valuable asset that is not being utilised effectively across all relevant time slots.
The Porter House has made that decision already and is open from 10.30am every day. They now have an interesting and wider choice of food options. The challenge now is to try to get more customers in at all times of the day.
Change tips
In a recent engagement with the VFI to support change in the industry, one of the things that struck me was that there was an over-dependence on alcohol sales generally – and mainly from Thursday to Saturday in particular.
When you think about it, there are five different trade windows in a day. Starting with the slot before lunch; lunchtime; the afternoon; early evening; and of course the night shift. Each window presents opportunities for different customer types and segments.
For example, two opportunities come to mind for early morning. One is the healthy or hearty Irish breakfast option and the other is great coffee. Taking tips from leading retailers, I've seen the value of having real authority in product categories. Arnotts for example 'own' so many categories on the north side of Dublin, such as furniture, menswear, beauty, the list goes on. This gives them differentiation and a great story to tell in social media, etc.
That concept is appropriate for the pub industry too. The Porter House already makes beautiful barista coffee and certainly has the potential to 'own' coffee in their area. Why not re-look at this and ensure every member of staff is trained to barista standard? It doesn't stop there. Customers need to be told through good signage, social media, etc, that the Porter House has the best coffee around. Good coffee and tasty croissants on their own are not enough of course to dramatically increase sales. But they might just be the start of a pattern shift, to be followed by other options for the other time windows. What can Porter House 'own' at lunchtime, at early evening time?
This example illustrates a few key learnings.
Change impacts every industry and every business. Are you facing up to the change in a positive way and re-thinking your opportunities in a different business model? For pubs in particular, think about the 5×7. The five phases in a day will require different offerings for different customers – across seven days. So get creative!
What can you 'own'? What differentiates you from your competition? Is there a dish, a cocktail, a chowder, coffee that you are already famous for – but don't shout about? Having something that is unique to you that is worthy of a story, gives you an edge that will drive footfall to you.
Finally, I believe that marks of quality are good for any business. Businesses in other industries, for example with the Q-mark accreditation, acknowledge that it gives them a point of difference, a great story to tell in marketing campaigns and reassurance to customers. Perhaps pubs in Ireland should engage with the Q-Mark?

Q: Why are there no (automatic) rear turrets on the X-Wing and Y-Wing? In Episodes IV, V and VI, we never seem to see rear turrets on the Rebel X-Wings and Y-Wings. However, in Episodes I, II and III we see quite a number of manual turrets with Clone Troopers in them.
Why is this?

A: Some Y-Wings, at least, do have a turret above the cockpit, as in this specimen from Rogue One:

All the references I've found to Y-Wing turrets, in both canon and legends, indicate that the turrets are controlled by either a gunner in a second seat, or the pilot. (The pilot obviously has a lot to deal with already, so it tends to be locked off forward or back in this configuration.)
I'm not familiar with an X-Wing variant that has a turret, in either canon or legends.
As for why the Y-Wing has a turret gunner and not an autoturret, well, the state of Star Wars technology seems to indicate that living gunners are just better. That's why the fighters have living pilots, and the capital ships have actual gunnery crews.

A: Think of the Star Wars fighters as WWII aircraft, mostly carrier aircraft.

*

*The most effective day fighters were single-seat models, like the Hellcat or the Corsair. Mostly armed with forward-firing cannon, but also rockets or bombs. Think X-Wing, or take the Zero for TIE -- agile but fragile.

*To go after enemy ships (not enemy fighters) there were two-seaters or three-seaters, like the Avenger or the Kate. They had a rear gun, but it didn't help much. Those are the Y-Wing.

*Naval fighters with turrets like the Roc didn't work out.

*The ARC-170 feels more like the Black Widow. The Black Widow was an excellent night fighter, not a day fighter.

So a single-seater without tail guns fits the trope. Tail guns for day fighters didn't work in WWII, so they don't happen much in Star Wars.

A: I am not familiar with any model X-Wing having rear turrets, let alone manned ones, nor appearing in Episodes I-III.
As for the Y-Wings, I assume you are referring to the BTL-B "Republic" Y-Wing, as seen here (can be missing the panelling, which has other lore reasons I won't go into here):

We can see that, like you stated, there's a bubble with space for a living gunner, instead of it being controlled by for instance an astromech, targeting computer or the pilot themselves. The benefit of a wide bubble like this was that the gunner could easily see around him, while the seat and turret could turn a full 360 degrees around.
However, there were many downsides too, as one could imagine. Firstly, such a bubble exposes the gunner greatly to enemy fire. And as Legends has stated, at first, a shot to the canopy would mean the whole cockpit got sucked out. This later got fixed by separating the space of the turret and the pilot space (see Incredible Cross-Sections of Star Wars: the Ultimate Guide to Star Wars Vehicles and Spacecraft). But yet, the issue of the gunner easily getting shot out remained. This meant the gunner had to be moved somewhere more safe and concealed. This led to the development of the BTL-S3 and later series of Y-Wings, the ones you refer to when speaking about Episodes IV-VI.

Throughout the whole of Star Wars, guns like these are usually controlled by someone other than the pilot simply for the reason it'd make things too complicated for the pilot, who's already under a lot of strain during combat. So, there's an external party needed to help. The Republic solved this by means of another clone in the bubble. This also has to do with the fact that at this point, it is implied astro mechs are not advanced enough to do both hyperspace planning and co-piloting as well as controlling such systems.

Here we see a Y-Wing (either BTL-S3 or BTL-A4) during the trench run. You can see the gunner bubble is gone, yet I can assure you that there's still very much a gunner present (in most cases). But instead of being in an obvious, easy to shoot bubble, they are in the back of the canopy, under the turret. In Star Wars, humans are simply more trusted with targeting and shooting targets than computers (besides tracking assistance systems).

"The BTL-S3 was a variant of the Y-wing starfighter line. It was typically crewed by a pilot and gunner, who sat back-to-back in the cockpit." - Wookieepedia, excerpt from BTL-S3 Y-Wing

However, at this point of the Star Wars timeline, these targeting computers and astromechs have gotten much more advanced. So we start to see the gunner being removed, and instead the astromech controls the turret, or there's a targeting computer placed under the turret (although this was rare because of the aforementioned reasons).
Additionally, there was also the BTL-A4 Y-Wing which completely removed the gunner seat and instead locked the overhead cannons into an forward aiming position (sometimes in different archs, or other angles), so that the pilot could just pull the trigger at what he was flying at.

"The Koensayr BTL-A4 Y-wing starfighter was crewed by a single pilot. The 16-meter-long attack starfighter had an ArMek SW-4 ion cannon turret which was preset to one of four arcs and was typically locked forward, although some pilots chose to lock it facing aft for extra cover." - Wookieepedia, excerpt from BLT-A4 Y-Wing

BTL-A4 Y-Wing as found in *Oncredible Cross-Sections of Star Wars: the Ultimate Guide to Star Wars Vehicles and Spacecraft* shows the removed gunner seat, instead filled with electronics (probably retrofitted to improve other systems or allow for a bigger targeting computer, although there are no details on this). The texts on the page also back up the information I've been talking about about the BTL-S3 and BTL-A4 models.

Here is my speculation on why Star Wars relies heavily on traditional army place configurations (a.k.a. any gun not pointing forward is controlled by an added gunner(s)): Star wars was first conceived during the late 1900's. It was also heavily inspired by World War II (see 'Historical')** when it comes to the warfare. At this time, the idea of such advanced computers in such a small package, or that are able to distinguish and attack 'enemies' was simply not thought of. Although, droids do exist, so do many other computers doing all sorts of stuff like this. So the only other reason I can think of is because Lucas simply wanted to keep to tradition of planes with multiple crew, possibly to keep it somewhat recognisable for the viewers.

"The space battles in A New Hope were based on filmed World War I and World War II dogfights." - Wikipedia, excerpt from Star Wars sources, Historical**

** From Empire of Dreams: the Story of the Star Wars Trilogy (2004, IMDb). In this documentary, George Lucas speaks about the inspirations behind Star Wars' technology, clothing, but also the way fights are orchistrated and what vehicles are based on, amongst much more.

A: Another thing to consider is Manpower. The clone army has troops to spare so creating a ship that needs 6-7 soldirs to fly it and man all the guns is not a problem, if that ship is shot down there are plenty of replacements to call up for the lost soldirs. By the time of the rebellion manpower is stretched thinly it is therefore better to have a crew of 2 split between 2 seperate fighters then to put those 2 in one ship. At least then if a ship is lost you only lose 1 pilot and by fighting as wings the risk of not having a rear gunner is somewhat negated by the fact your wingman can take out the ship behind you.
The rebellion was also limited by which ships it could lay its hands on. The X Wing was designed to be easy and quick to build and so the rebellion took what they could get there hands on.

A: There are no turrets or rear gunner in the X-Wings because they are fighters, and fighters dogfight with other fighters by maneuvering rapidly.
The Y-Wing is an attack bomber and tends to deliver its payload of ordnance in relative stable flight in a straight in approach, hence a rear gunner is useful to defend against rear attacks while the ship is making an attack run.

A: We are never told if the Y-Wings of Gold Squadron had rotating turrets or if they had been fixed forward. Interestingly, the Action Fleet Y-Wing, released by Galoob in Gold Leader livery, featured a rotating turret.

Customer Opinions "Karma 9.8 mm x 60 m"


The G-Class is unique in the Mercedes-Benz lineup because around half of the sales are high-performance models built by Mercedes-AMG. With the SUV icon about to undergo its first redesign since the nameplate's launch four decades back, you can bet the engineers will be spending extra time on making sure the revamped G63 from AMG is perfect.
Here we see some prototypes for the revamped G63. We know they are the AMG model because of their uprated wheels and brakes. They also feature extra-large openings in the lower part of their front bumper, similar to on the present model.
The interior should also get a major revamp. From the most recent spy shots, it appears like the main infotainment screen will be incorporated with the dash. There is likewise a grab deal with staying on the traveler side. We can likewise expect a digital instrument cluster to feature behind a multi-function wheel. The upgraded G-Class is shaping up to be much larger than on the current model. It will likewise be lower, assisting to lower the center of gravity. These changes are targeted at helping the vehicle's stability on and off the roadway.
Another crucial change must be the increased use of aluminum and high-strength steel in the building in order to reduce weight, possibly cutting the existing model's 5,665-pound curb weight by as much as 440 lb. This must result in improved efficiency numbers.
Under the hood, anticipate the vehicle to gain from AMG's 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8, with output eclipsing the 563 horsepower of the present model's 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8. Further down the track we need to see an upgraded version of the V-12-powered G65. Exactly what isn't really clear is whether the upgraded AMG models will feature Mercedes' most current 9-speed automobile or continue with a 7-speeder.
Try to find the upgraded G-Class variety to show up in showrooms in 2018, as 2019 models.

Khanna worked as a printer at Kapur Art Press, Lahore, before moving with his family to Simla during Partition.
He joined the Grindlays Bank in Bombay, where he worked till 1961 before devoting himself to art fulltime. In Bombay, he became part of the extended Progressive Artists' Group. A largely self-taught artist, Krishen Khanna's art bears imprints of the traumatic experience of the socio- political chaos that deeply affected his life. Khanna exhibited his works first in 1949, where his fist painting was sold to Dr. Homi Bhabha, for the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. In 1955, Khanna held his first solo show at the USIS, Chennai, and since then has exhibited widely in India and abroad.

Vicarious liability: defending your business
Vicarious liability: defending your business against claims
The Court concluded that the "close connection" test was the right approach when considering an employer's vicarious liability for the acts of its…
Many of you will have read with interest, and perhaps a degree of surprise, our report on the Supreme Court's decision in Mohamud v WM Morrison Supermarkets plc. In this case the Court concluded that the "close connection" test was the right approach when considering an employer's vicarious liability for the acts of its employees.
In summary, an employee of the supermarket working in one of its petrol stations kiosks, was asked by M (a customer) whether he could print some documents. The employee then subjected M to verbal and physical abuse outside on the forecourt, including the use of what was reported to have been racist language. The Supreme Court held that whilst the employee's behaviour was a "gross abuse of his position… [it] was in connection with the business in which he was employed to serve customers."
The Supreme Court's decision shows how wide the scope is for an employee's actions to be brought within the ambit of that for which their employer can be held vicariously liable. It also illustrates how far removed that conduct can be from something done for the employer's benefit.
You may well be familiar with the concept of 'vicarious liability' in an employment context, where employers can be liable for any unlawful discrimination by their employees where that arises in the course of employment.
In this context, in some circumstances, the Equality Act 2010 allows employers to rely on the 'statutory defence'. Essentially, the employer may avoid liability by arguing that it took 'reasonable steps' to prevent the discrimination taking place.
Unfortunately, in the context of personal injury claims (as in Mohamud) employers cannot rely on the "statutory defence" to avoid liability. If the Court decides that there is a 'close connection' between the employee's wrongful conduct and their employment it is very difficult for an employer to argue that they should not be liable for personal injury. This case seems to broaden the circumstances in which this type of liability might arise.
However the case is a clear reminder of the need to manage the risks which can arise in an employment context and the need to be constantly mindful of what your business is doing to deter discrimination and other unacceptable behaviour. While the argument that you have taken 'all reasonable steps' is not strictly relevant in a personal injury claim such as Mohamud, putting in place the type of protections that would underpin a successful 'statutory defence' to a discrimination claim will hopefully reduce the risks of a personal injury claim arising.
Whilst it is difficult to foresee many steps that could have been taken by the supermarket in the Mohamud case which could have prevented what happened, there are nevertheless a number of practical steps which we suggest would go some way to reducing and managing the risk of a successful discrimination claim if one was brought along similar facts (for example if the dispute had been between two employees).
In defence of a discrimination claim, employers are able to argue that they have taken 'all reasonable steps. These are many and varied and it is impossible to provide an exhaustive list, but the following commonly feature and are, in our view, likely to be persuasive:
Ensuring that your Staff Handbook or similar documentation contains an appropriate Equal Opportunities/Diversity Policy which sets out what you expect of your employees in the context of their interactions with their colleagues, customers, suppliers etc.
Clearly warning employees that any unlawful discrimination is treated with utmost seriousness and is likely to be deemed to be gross misconduct (with appropriate references being made in the Equal Opportunities Policy and Grievance and Disciplinary Procedures).
Making sure that all employees are familiar with the Equal Opportunities Policy (or any other relevant policies or rules) which are intended to prevent unlawful discrimination, bullying and harassment.
Keeping adequate and up to date records which can be used to demonstrate that employees are aware of policies and procedures.
Providing training to employees on equal opportunities and the Policy, and refreshing that training at regular intervals. As above, records should be maintained.
Handling complaints in prompt fashion and treating them with the priority and seriousness that they deserve.
Keeping an open mind when conducting investigations and treating the complainant with empathy, whilst always ensuring that the investigation progresses and difficult lines of enquiry are properly addressed rather than swept under the carpet.
Conducting a review after the conclusion of an investigation, identifying learning points and putting actions in place where appropriate to prevent future instances.
It is important to remember that an Equal Opportunities Policy which sets the standards of conduct for employees, but which has not been adequately communicated to staff, is likely to attract criticism from an Employment Tribunal similar to having no Policy at all.
You will see that much of the focus above is on training and pro-active management. We recommend that this process commences at the start of employment and is included within induction material, and then continued throughout the course of employment.
In short, the profile of an Equal Opportunities Policy needs to be raised and brought to 'life' within the workplace in order to best manage the risks arising from any unlawful 'rogue' behaviours.

Anglican-Roman Catholic Statement Almost Overshadows Paul Rust, OMI
Mission-Unity-Dialogue
By Harry Winter, OMI
Fr. Paul Rust, OMI
Father Paul R. Rust, OMI (1906-87) spent much of his life examining the Episcopalian Church. His books, The First of the Puritans and the Book of Common Prayer (1949) and Fallible Fallacies (1955) reflect his admiration for the Episcopalian Book of Common Prayer, and his conviction that Anglican Orders were null and void (Pope Leo XIII established this with his encyclical letter of 1896).
However, the August statement by the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC III) "Walking Together on the Way," shows how much we have changed since Paul's books and the earlier statement by Pope Leo. Yet "Walking Together" reflects and incorporates some of the hesitations of both Paul and the pope. Note that in the USA, the world wide Anglican Church is called Episcopal.
"Walking Together" is long, 59 pages of text consisting of 161 numbered paragraphs, with another 27 pages of Introduction, list of Anglican and Roman Catholic signers, and bibliography: click here to see the entire document. Those with some back ground in theology will find the entire document a remarkable summary of much of our Catholic and Episcopalian theology of the Church, of Baptism and the Eucharist, and of our joint history.
For those who want to taste a shorter version of this brilliant statement, I recommend the 2 page Preface (pp. iv-v) and the Conclusion (pp. 56-59).
For both groups, please note the following. First, this statement bonds Ecumenism and Mission. Some ecumenists today neglect the fact that Ecumenism arose in the challenge of many Christian Churches competing as missionary Churches. Mission and Unity are the two sides of one coin (especially #'s 48-49, 55, 75,104,106,154).
Secondly, "Walking Together" admits very frankly that the early hopefulness of better relations between our two Churches has been dashed. Ordination of women as priests and bishops by many Anglican Churches, the shift towards gay marriage by some Anglican Churches has caused many difficulties (#'s 77-78). It has been about 12 years since this consultation produced a statement. When "Walking Together" was finished in 2017, it took until this August before it was published. There has been very little publicity about it, partly because its new approach needs some time to digest.
Thirdly, the statement proposes a new and startling way to proceed when difficulties arise. Both Churches admit that each has something the other needs. Being receptive to qualities which the other has, can help us walk together. On the Roman Catholic side, the role of the papacy and synod of bishops heads the list (#'s 42, 76). On the Episcopalian side, the place of the laity in the leadership of the Church (#'s 54, 81,148,156). So "mutual receptive learning" is explained.
The Episcopalian and Catholic signers of the statement do view themselves as continuing the reform of the Church begun by Martin Luther: Preface, p. v. For much more on this, see the USA Oblate website Mission-Unity-Dialogue, home page, www.harrywinter.org.
I suspect Paul Rust would appreciate the frankness and creativity of this statement. I think he would also notice that "mutual receptive learning" is a wonderful method for solving difficulties within the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, and any community.

Report praises SCO as model for international cooperation
Source: Xinhua| 2018-05-27 16:41:02|Editor: ZX
BEIJING, May 27 (Xinhua) -- A report, published by Chinese think tanks, praised the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) as a model for cooperation among countries with different political systems.
The report on the SCO's development in the 17 years since its inception was released by the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China and the Institute for Central Asian Studies of Lanzhou University.
"Cooperation among the SCO member states, which have implemented quite different political systems, faces more difficulties and requires more efforts than countries with similar political systems," said the report.
Despite differences in political systems, the SCO member states have achieved mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation through effective negotiation and coordination, it said.
The SCO sets an example for other countries to go beyond differences in social systems, ideology, development models and civilization, and carries out extensive cooperation in politics, economy and security, among others, the report noted.
The SCO was established in Shanghai in 2001, with China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan as founding members. India and Pakistan joined the SCO during the Astana summit in 2017.
Since its inception, the SCO has become a comprehensive regional organization with vast influence. With the inclusion of India and Pakistan, the eight SCO member states now account for more than 60 percent of the Eurasian landmass, nearly half of the world's population and over 20 percent of global GDP.
"The SCO's sustainable development is an opportunity for member states, rather than a challenge, and a blessing for the international community, rather than a threat," said the report.

When caring for an aging loved one, medications are the first thing you should review.
1. Ask your senior if you can review their medications.
2. Be sure to read every label.
3. Look for how many pills were ordered, and how often they are meant to be taken.
Check the dates on the prescription label—when was it filled? When will it expire? Check these dates against the directions and number of pills ordered. Do the math. A prescription for 90 pills was filled 10 days ago—the directions say to take one pill three times daily. How many pills should be left? Be aware that the number may not be exact (many people do not begin taking medication on the same day they fill the prescription) but it should be close. If your gut says something is not right, listen to it.
Are your loved one's orders current?
Are they being taken as ordered?
Is there more than one pill for the same diagnosis?
Consider taking a complete list of your senior's medications to their primary healthcare provider or their pharmacy, and ask them to check the list for possible negative drug interactions. Ask them to consider reductions in the number of medications or their dosage. Is the list current and accurate? Make sure you know both the generic and brand names for medications so there is no confusion or duplication. If your senior does not have a pill dispenser, consider setting them up with one, so you can both keep track of what they should be taking when.
Seek home care or care management assistance if you or your senior need further help. A Helping Hand Homecare serves seniors in towns and cities in the greater King County area, including south to Auburn Tacoma, Federal Way, north to Lynnwood, Bothell and Woodinville, east to Bellevue and Issaquah, and west to Edmonds and Seattle.

For your water heating needs, Canadian residents should consider reaching out to SimplyGreen dealer Peter Biedermann, who provides some of the best options for a gas tankless water heater in Canada.
Peter Biedermann is an official dealer for SimplyGreen tankless hot water water brands. He offers the exact solutions you need to quickly and easily install a new water heater in Calgary.
Peter Biedermann is an official dealer for SimplyGreen tankless hot water water brands.
This added perspective can be very helpful as you navigate the buying and installation process.
A typical water heater can take up almost a quarter of your home's energy bill thanks to the fact that it heats your water even when you aren't using it. If you want to save money on your bills and have hot water that is ready for you when you need it, you need a tankless water heater. Peter Biedermann is an official dealer for SimplyGreen tankless hot water water brands. He offers the exact solutions you need to quickly and easily install a new water heater in Calgary.
A typical water heater keeps a tank full of water drawn from your municipal water source or septic system. It heats that water periodicially, drawing from an electric, gas, or oil source. This keeps the water hot, but also means that you still use a significant amount of energy when you are away from your house or not running water. Additionally, a standard hot water heater might run out if you run the water for long enough, such as when you take a hot shower. By comparison, a tankless system offers a high efficiency water heater that heats the water in your pipes as it travels to your faucets. This means that you only run the heater when you need it and that you never run out of hot water.
A tankless gas water heater can save you as much as $100 per year in energy costs when compared to a standard high- efficiency gas boiler. If you have a less efficient furnace or a more expensive type of fuel such as oil, the savings go up even further. Those who prefer to use an electric tankless water heater in Canada can expect to save at least $50 in energy bills on a yearly basis. The key to maximizing your savings with these units is to have a skilled installer place them at the proper locations in your home and to use the most efficient heaters possible, such as the well-reviewed SimplyGreen brand. Additional steps, such as insulating your pipes, can make sure that your instant hot water heater works even better.
To find the best tankless water heater in Canada, you need to consider the size of your home, the quality of your pipes, and the products on the market. A large house or one with poorly insulated pipes needs a more powerful heater, while a smaller one can prioritize fuel efficiency over everything else. In terms of brands, a quick look through tankless water heater reviews demonstrates that SimplyGreen is one of the most trusted and most energy efficient brands on the market.
Once you have chose the best tankless water heater for your home, be sure to also take advantage of government rebates that will provide you with a little bit of money back for making your home more energy efficient. A tankless system provides the best water heater option for many homes. When it comes to getting the right heater for you, reach out to Peter Biedermann, who can make sure that you get a SimplyGreen unit that will save you hundreds of dollars in energy costs.
Before retiring next year, I wanted to spend this year replacing a few things around the house. A new water heater was at the top of the list. Simply Green's agent pointed out the efficiency of a tankless model, so I said why not? So happy I did!
The consultation was very informative and the sales rep was knowledgeable in explaining what products would work best for me and my husband. The water tank was a great choice and has saved us a lot on our bills for the past four months. I'd definitely suggest looking into it.
I booked a consultation with Simply Green. They responded the fastest when submitting an online quote. They were very courteous and happily answered all my questions. In no time at all everything was taken care of. I'd highly recommend your company to anyone.


In different circumstances perhaps, he might have succeeded as a ruler because he had many qualities that make a good administrator. He was generous, kind and compassionate towards his subjects, besides being one of the most magnanimous and passionate patrons of the Fine Arts. When he ascended the throne, he took keen interest in the administration of justice, introduced reforms, and reorganized the military department, but gradually sank into a life of pleasures surrounded by courtesans, singers, dancers, and eunuchs.
Wajid Ali Shah was widely regarded as a debauched and detached ruler, but some of his notoriety seems to have been misplaced. The main case for condemnation comes from the British Resident of Lucknow, General Sleeman who submitted a report highlighting maladministration and lawlessness supposed to be prevailing there. This proved to be the trigger the British were looking for, and formed the official basis for their annexation. Recent studies have, however, suggested that Oudh was neither as bankrupt nor as lawless as the British had claimed. In fact, Oudh was for all practical purposes under British rule well before the annexation, with the Nawab playing little more than a titular role. The army was composed mostly of British officers, while the purse strings were firmly under the control of the East India Company.
Lucknow's rise to growth and fame begins with its elevation as capital of Awadh by Nawab Asaf-Ud-Dowlah. He was a great philanthropist and gave Lucknow a unique and enduring legacy. The architectural contributions of these Awadh rulers include several imposing monuments. Of the monuments standing today, the Bara Imambara, the Chhota Imambara, and the Roomi Darwaza are notable examples. One of the more lasting contributions by the Nawabs is the syncretic composite culture that has come to be known as the Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb.
In 1798, the fifth Nawab Wazir Ali Khan alienated both his people and the British, and was forced to abdicate. The British then helpedSaadat Ali Khan to the throne. Saadat Ali Khan was a puppet king, who in the treaty of 1801 ceded half of Awadh to the British East India Company and also agreed to disband his troops in favor of a hugely expensive, British-run army. This treaty effectively made the state of Awadh a vassal to the British East India Company, though it notionally continued to be part of the Mughal Empire in name until 1819.

Q: Possible reason for EXC_BAD_ACCESS? I have a legacy app which utilizes Apple's example SimplePing. There is a source file SimplePing.m which contains the next method:
- (void)sendPingWithData:(NSData *)data {
    id<SimplePingDelegate>  strongDelegate;

    ...

    strongDelegate = self.delegate;
    if (...) {
        [strongDelegate simplePing:self didSendPacket:...];
    }

    self.nextSequenceNumber += 1; // CRASH
    if (self.nextSequenceNumber == 0) {
        self.nextSequenceNumberHasWrapped = YES;
    }
}

Crashlytics reports dozens of crashes with stack trace:
Crashed: com.apple.main-thread
EXC_BAD_ACCESS KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS 0x00000009de3bbeb8

libobjc.A.dylib objc_msgSend + 16

I have not managed to reprodice it yet, and I know a little about this app so far. But I have to begin researching it somehow. I looked through realization of delegates (btw, they are in Swift - if it's relevant), bit did not find anything criminal so far.
As I know, EXC_BAD_ACCESS normally fires when one tries to access deallocated memory. In this concrete case it could mean that [strongDelegate simplePing:self didSendPacket:...] has somehow deallocated self. But as self is a strong reference, it just could not happen at all - am I right?
May you guys drop me some probable scenarios on how could it crash with EXC_BAD_ACCESS on that line? The only my idea is that some memory overwrite have happened.
UPDATE
I was completely wrong with my assumption "But as self is a strong reference ...". self in nether strong, nor weak. It is just unsafe_unretained, as a smart guy explained: https://stackoverflow.com/a/18011581/674548.

Intense ruby-red color. Concentrated aroma of red forest fruits, spices and leather. The body is soft and voluminous, moderate sweetness, good length and memorable palate. The wine combines very well with roasted red meats, spicy dishes or cured meats.


Just a random guy who attempts voice acts randomly. Random. Did I mention Random?
If I ever get a request I would think would need to be paid for I'd think something out. But, you can be sure it'd be reasonable.


Heather enjoys animal-inspired art. She has a beaded giraffe, for example, as well as a clay porcupine.
But until recently she did not have any art inspired by the most important animal in her life: me.
I've been dropping hints about this omission for years — by sleeping on Heather's art books and refusing to admire the beaded giraffe despite multiple prompts.
My beaded likeness. I've named him Melville Cat Deux.
I didn't think much of my beaded likeness at first. After all these years of waiting, I suppose I'd lost interest in the idea. Also his front legs are a bit short.
But then I took a closer look at Melville Cat Deux and realized his resemblance to me is quite remarkable.
We have a similar posture.
A man named Shepherd made Melville Cat Deux. Shepherd makes a living creating beaded animals on Melville's 7th Street. He has sold Heather several beaded animals in the past.
Shepherd with Melville Cat Deux.
Shepherd has been making beaded animals in Melville for many years — longer than Heather can remember — but he has never made a cat before. Heather also says she has never seen another beaded cat, despite meeting many bead artists over the years.
It's possible Melville Cat Deux is the first-ever beaded house cat in Johannesburg.
I'm not sure why Deux's eyes are red, while mine are yellow. I supposed this is Shepherd's artistic interpretation of me.
He might look like me. But he can't yawn like me.
I couldn't help but flaunt my yawning a bit more. It was a subtle reminder to Heather that although Deux looks like me, he is NOT me and he never will be me.
Lack of yawning prowess aside, I've become fond of Melville Cat Deux.
Shepherd told Heather he is going to make more beaded cats from now on. If you would like to commission a feline likeness of your own, find Shepherd at the corner of 7th Street and 3rd Avenue in Melville. He is also reachable on WhatsApp at +27-73-179-1351.
Sounds like quite an interesting household.
You're quite right, Sandy Paws. I send you my best.
The red eyes threw me for a minute. I thought it was a possum. Then I remembered they don't exist in Africa.
No replica can do you justice, of course.
