Fathers of the Church

Epistle XVII: to Eusebius, Archbishop of Caesarea

Gregory replies to Eusebius that his last letter was written in a thoroughly respectful spirit (see Epistle XVI).

Gregory was the first Greek author to publish a collection of his letters; he did so at the request of Nicobulus, a grandson of his sister Gorgonia. Incidentally, he also sets forth a theory of epistolography; he demands that a good letter should have four characteristics: shortness, clearness, charm and simplicity. Although he refuses to present his own epistles as models, they are carefully written, in many cases not without humor, and most of them are brief and pointed. (Quasten)

In a letter (Epistle XIX) to his friend and mentor St. Basil the Great, Gregory suggests that they write to Bishop Eusebius. Below is the second of three such letters (XVI, XVII, XVIII).

by Gregory Nazianzen in Unknown | translated by Charles Gordon Browne, M.A., James Edward Swallow, M.A

I did not write in an insolent spirit, as you complain of my letter, but rather in a spiritual and philosophical one, and as was fitting, unless this too wrongs "your most eloquent Gregory." For though you are my Superior in rank, yet you will grant me something of liberty and just freedom of speech. Therefore be kinder to me. But if you regard my letter as coming from a servant, and from one who has not the right even to look you in the face, I will in this instance accept your stripes and not even shed a tear. Will you blame me for this also? That would befit anyone rather than your Reverence. For it is the part of a high-souled man to accept more readily the freedom of a friend than the flattery of an enemy.

st joes medal 8572 webGerard Staves of St. Mary Parish in Windsor Locks takes a moment with Paula Taylor of St. Robert Bellarmine Parish in Windsor Locks. (Photo by Karen O. Bray)

HARTFORD – Archbishop Leonard P. Blair presided over a joyful ceremony on March 22, celebrating the blessing and conferral of this year’s St. Joseph Medals of Appreciation to 206 parishioners from across the Archdiocese of Hartford.

A festive air prevailed as the cathedral filled to capacity early with honorees, their families and friends. It was standing-room-only once again at this traditionally popular annual event. See list of honorees here.

Archbishop Blair invoked the intercession of Saint Joseph in welcoming the honorees, the congregation, and the scores of priests, deacons and seminarians who had processed before him to take seats on both sides of the sacristy.

With a homily focused on the truth of our faith that “It is always on the cross that the glory of God is revealed,” Archbishop Blair extended both thanks and a challenge to this year’s St. Joseph Medal of Appreciation recipients.

The archbishop said, “I want to congratulate all of you who are being honored today, and above all to thank you on behalf of the whole archdiocese for all the devoted and loving service that you have rendered to the church and to your local faith communities throughout the years.”

With references to the day’s reading as well as to a recent letter he wrote, which ran in The Catholic Transcript and was inserted into all parish bulletins, establishing the groundwork for a pastoral plan for the Archdiocese of Hartford, he invited them to reflect with him on the archdiocese and its family of faith at this particular moment in its history.

Citing Pope Francis, who declares that in baptism we’re all called to be missionary disciples in the face of all the challenges that the world can throw at us today, he talked about the letter in which he has introduced his pastoral plan for the Archdiocese of Hartford.

When we see with the eyes of faith today, he said, “It’s a very different landscape, it is a whole new world.”

He asked medal recipients to reflect on the archdiocese at this moment in time in the light of what Jesus said about what it means truly to see, not just by worldly standards, but in the light of the cross. In John’s use of the phrase, “to see,” he said, there is profound meaning in the Gospel, which describes an ability that can only truly happen when one has faith.

He asked “What do we see of our local church today?” in the context of statistics that reveal steep declines in numerous areas of participation, sacrament reception and support over the past several decades. The numbers, he said, apply to the church throughout much of our country, and indeed much of the world.

Archbishop Blair acknowledged that, in announcing the pastoral plan, he knew that responding to and meeting its challenges would “put our comfort zones to the test.” Here again he cited Pope Francis, who dreams of a missionary option, “an impulse capable of transforming everything, so that the church’s customs, ways of doing things, times and schedules, language and structures, can be suitably challenged for the evangelization of today’s world rather than for her self-preservation.”

The pope, said the archbishop, says that “pastoral ministry in a missionary seeks to abandon the complacent attitude that says ‘we have always done it that way.’”

Archbishop Blair described the honorees as people who clearly love the church. He said he is confident that with them, through faith and prayer, cooperation, sharing experience and working together, everyone in the archdiocese will enter into this pastoral plan in a way that will ensure a faith-filled and fruitful mission for the church and the Archdiocese of Hartford for years to come.

After the homily, Archbishop Blair blessed the medals, invoking once again the intercession of Saint Joseph on all who receive them, after which Msgr. John McCarthy, cathedral rector, called all 206 recipients forward toward the sanctuary to receive their medals from the archbishop.

Father John L. Lavorgna, secretary to the archbishop and assistant chancellor, was master of ceremonies with assistance from Fathers Carlos A. Piedrahita and Marcin P. Pluciennik.

At the conclusion, Father Lavorgna invited all recipients and their  families to have a photo taken with Archbishop Blair before the altar.

Paula Taylor, of St. Robert Bellarmine Parish in Windsor Locks, said that in the hectic world she finds what she does for the parish to be calming. Echoing the sentiments of many recipients, she said she does not like accolades for what she does to help the two churches within the Catholic Community of Windsor Locks.

She and Gerard Staves, of St. Mary Parish in Windsor Locks, were both sponsored by their pastor, Father Robert O’Grady.

Man Dies After Falling from Lift at Pius High School

The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner said a maintenance worker died after falling from lift at Pius High School on Monday.

Pius High School is located at 135 N 76th Street.

Mansour Ahangar, 65-year-old, fell from a scissor lift approximately 30 feet from the wood gym floor. He was repairing a heavy curtain in the gym that divides the gym into smaller sections when he fell to the ground.

An X-ray, CT Scan and a visual exam revealed massive pelvic injuries, a lumbar and thoracic fracture, a small right apical pneumothorax, a retropertoneal hematoma, and a right arm puncture wound.

He was taken to Froedtert Emergency Room. He was pronounced dead at 2:46 AM on Tuesday.

Pius High School released this statement:

The Pius XI Catholic High School family is mourning the unexpected loss of a member of our maintenance crew, who had been working in the school’s Field House yesterday afternoon. A lift accident occurred, 911 was called immediately, and the staff member was quickly transported to the hospital for care. Due to complications, the individual unexpectedly passed away late last night.

Pius XI Catholic High School is committed to the care of each member of its community, and will be cooperating with those actively involved in understanding yesterday's accident. In respect of the privacy of the individual and family members involved, we will not be releasing the name of the individual.

Everyone at Pius XI Catholic School has a heavy heart today as we mourn this unexpected passing. We are asking everyone for prayers and special intentions to the family of the individual, as well as to the Pius XI Catholic High School community and family.

Tax avoidance and improvement of Single Market for businesses are among the main concerns of the European Union. Specifically, the European Commission aims at reinforcing entrepreneurship and boosting economic growth by promoting tax transparency. In October 2016, the European Commission re-launched the Common Corporate Consolidated Tax Base (CCCTB), a single set of rules to calculate companies’ taxable profits in the EU.

According to the proposal of the European Commission, companies that are tax-residents in an EU Member State and have an annual turnover of more than €750 million will be taxed in the country where they make their profits based on assets, sales and labour. The proposed legislation would apply to EU-resident companies and Permanent Establishments located in the EU. Furthermore, this proposal supports innovation through tax incentives for Research and Development activities. Corporate tax rates are NOT covered by the CCCTB because these remain an area of national sovereignty.

Combating tax avoidance and improving the Single Market for businesses will endorse the competitiveness of the EU, as well as the welfare of EU citizens.  The CCCTB will be mandatory for multinational companies. Moreover, the CCCTB would prevent multinational companies from taking their profits from one Member State and hiding them in a tax heaven inside the EU.  According to the official website of ‘Taxation and Customs’[1] unit, the CCCTB will eliminate discrepancies between national systems and hidden tax rulings. Therefore, profit shifting will be further controlled. The CCCTB contains strong anti-abuse measures to dissuade companies from shifting profits to non-EU countries. In addition, the European Commission outlines that this legislation would simplify tax reporting and collection of tax revenues for companies with cross-border business operations.

Some Member States opposed to CCCTB:

Malta, Luxembourg, Sweden, The Netherlands, Ireland and Denmark expressed their concerns and officially opposed this legislation. The Committee of Commerce of the Cyprus House of Representatives expressed its opposition to the introduction of the CCCTB as this would affect the flexible tax environment of the Republic of Cyprus. Angelos Votsis, chairman of the Committee of Commerce, outlined that adopting the CCCTB would have effects on the Cyprus economy as it would affect the flexible tax environment of the island[2]. The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Cyprus and Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry expressed their opposition underlining the importance of Cyprus’ flexible tax environment in the national economy.

Our lawyers will monitor the ongoing developments:

The legal team of Michael Chambers & Co. LLC will monitor all the ongoing developments so that to be able to provide you with the best possible legal advice. Our team of Cyprus lawyers is committed to providing creative and innovative solutions. If you wish to speak to one of our lawyers, in absolute confidence, then please contact us: info@chambers.law

This major reference work provides a rich source of methods for analyzing water to assure its safety from natural and deliberate contaminants, including those that are added because of carelessness of human endeavors. Human development has great impact on water quality, and new contaminants are emerging every day. The issues of sampling for water analysis, regulatory considerations, and forensics in water quality and purity investigations are covered in detail. Microbial as well as chemical contaminations from inorganic compounds, radionuclides, volatile and semivolatile compounds, disinfectants, herbicides, and pharmaceuticals, including endocrine disruptors, are treated extensively. Researchers must be aware of all sources of contamination and know how to prescribe techniques for removing them from our water supply.

  • Unlike other works published to date that concentrate on issues of water supply, water resource management, hydrology, and water use by industry, this work is more tightly focused on the monitoring and improvement of the quality of existing water supplies and the recovery of wastewater via new and standard separation techniques
  • Using analytical chemistry methods, offers remediation advice on pollutants and contaminants in addition to providing the critical identification perspective
  • The players in the global boom of water purification are numerous and varied. Having worked extensively in academia and industry, the Editor-in-Chief has been careful about constructing a work for a shared audience and cause

The sequel to the international bestseller The Go-Giver, applying its inspirational approach to real-world challenges.

The Go-Giver took the business world by storm with its message that giving is the simplest, most fulfilling, and most effective path to success. It has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers; but some have wondered how the story's lessons stand up to the tough challenges of everyday, real-world business.

Bob Burg and John David Mann answer that question in Go-Givers Sell More, a practical guide that turns giving into the cornerstone of a powerful and effective approach to selling.

Most of us think of sales as a struggle to make people do something they don't really want to do. But that cut-throat mentality makes the process much harder than it has to be - especially in an economic downturn when customers are more suspicious and defensive than ever.

It's far more effective (and satisfying) when salespeople think like Go-Givers and focus on creating value for the customer. Cultivate a trusting relationship and provide outstanding service, and great results will follow automatically.

Illustrating their points with a wide range of real-life examples, Burg and Mann offer tips and strategies that anyone in sales can start applying right away.

From Wattpad phenom Sarah White comes a steamy teen romance about one girl’s quest to find herself after a traumatic breakup.

The only thing worse than having your boyfriend dump you is having him dump you for your best friend. For Everly Morgan the betrayal came out of nowhere. One moment she had what seemed like the perfect high school relationship, and the next, she wanted to avoid the two most important people in her life. Every time she sees them kiss in the hallways her heart breaks a little more.

The last thing on Everly’s mind is getting into another relationship, but when she meets Gabe in her therapist’s waiting room she can’t deny their immediate connection. Somehow he seems to understand Everly in a way that no one else in her life does, and maybe it’s because Gabe also has experience grappling with issues outside of his control. Just because they share so many of the same interests and there is an undeniable spark between them doesn’t mean Everly wants anything more than friendship. After all, when you only barely survived your last breakup, is it really worth risking your heart again?

Sarah White was born and raised in California. Graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles and California State University, Long Beach, she has a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master’s degree in Counseling. Sarah spends her days as a Marriage and Family Therapist and her nights and weekends reading and writing stories...

Topics I've Started

BB online: Limit one DS per customer?!?

22 November 2008 - 09:22 PM

so get this, Try to get two Red DS and they don't ship those, only store pickup.

okay so I decide to get two cobalt ones but they say 1 per customer...

so I get one cobalt and one crimson. Now it lets me complete transaction no problem.

So if I get a different color DS, I must be getting a different product altogether.

Go BB, your policies are AMAZING!

How much are retail games marked up?

02 November 2008 - 07:50 PM

I used to think stores like Target made 10-20% on a new game but with the buy 2 get 1 free deal essentially that is like selling you 3 games at 33% off. Do they lose money on such promotions? Do they break even?

Any GOW III gameplay or images???

18 October 2008 - 03:34 PM

This is gearing up to be the greatest game of all time... and all I can find is a crummy (well not so crummy) prerendered vid.

Next Wii Zelda Game speculation.

17 October 2008 - 11:49 PM

It's important to remember that the development team making Twilight Princess wanted to enhance the visuals for the Wii version, but that Miyamoto declined because it would delay the release of the game, which had already missed its ship date, even further. So we're confident that that given the time to work exclusively on a Wii Zelda, the team will be able to improve the look considerably. And yet, at the same time, we find ourselves surprisingly accepting of the prospect of another cel-shaded game -- again, simply because the style works so well. We're not suggesting that we would want to return to child Link form, but what if an adult Link could be brought to this cel-shaded design complete with an aged-up presentation to suit him? We think there's a lot of potential with something like that.

Imagine the swordplay in Wii's next Zelda, now with MotionPlus controls.

And Just to be Clear, a Recap
Nintendo can absolutely afford to rest on its laurels. Twilight Princess introduced a fun wolf mechanic and the ability to drop between two dimensions, but by and large it played like every 3D Zelda before it. And it was still amazing. So we're not going to lie -- sure, Nintendo could do exactly the same thing all over again and the end result would probably still be fantastic. Yet, as Zelda fans, we want to see the franchise taken into a bold new direction -- one that doesn't just follow the bar, but raises it. We would be disappointed if Nintendo diluted the power of the franchise with another spin-off like Link's Crossbow Training, an excuse to forgo a long development cycle. It would be unfortunate if the company didn't up Zelda's production values -- injecting the experience with a deeper storyline, multi-faceted characters, orchestral music, voice-acting and well-choreographed cinematics. And it would be a missed opportunity if the next game didn't fully utilize the Wii remote's pointer and Wii MotionPlus for a better gaming experience than ever before. The Zelda team has been reunited for a long time and we know that something major is beginning to take shape back in Japan. Here's hoping the game exceeds our wildest expectations when Nintendo finally unveils it.

Breakthrough Bleeding On the Pill – 6 Facts to Know About it

Breakthrough bleeding cartoon

When you start taking the pill, your body goes through changes that can lead to strange, or out-of-the-ordinary, experiences. Breakthrough bleeding is one of these experiences, and it can be alarming if you’re not expecting it. In most cases, this type of bleeding is perfectly normal. Here are four things you should know about breakthrough bleeding on birth control.

Breakthrough bleeding cartoon

1. Breakthrough Bleeding is Typically Normal

Many women experience breakthrough bleeding, or bleeding in between periods, when they first start taking a contraceptive pill. This type of bleeding usually occurs during the first three months of taking the pill.

Spotting in between periods can still occur after the initial three months, and is typically harmless. But if the bleeding bothers you, you may want to try a different pill or contraceptive method.

2. Spotting Is More Common with Minipills

Breakthrough bleeding is more common when taking minipills, contraceptive pills that only contain progesterone. These pills are taken every day without a break, and contain lower doses of the hormone.

Spotting and bleeding on tissue

It’s not uncommon for women on minipills to experience spotting throughout the month. Some don’t experience any bleeding at all. If the spotting bothers you, ask your doctor for an alternative pill.

3. Bleeding Does Not Affect the Pill’s Efficacy

Many women assume that the pill isn’t effective if they get their period or experience spotting. Bleeding does not affect the pill’s efficacy, and it is not an indication that the pill isn’t working.

Sometimes, bleeding may continue after the first few months, especially with low-dose pills. In this case, you may want to talk to your doctor about switching to a higher dose pill. Taking a different pill with a different progestin may prevent or stop breakthrough bleeding.

4. Certain Medications May Affect the Pill’s Absorbency Rate

If you’re experiencing bleeding in between periods, your medications may be to blame. Certain drugs can affect the absorption of the pill. These medications include antibiotics, antacids, herbal remedies and even over-the-counter digestive medicine.

Anti-tuberculosis, anticonvulsants and antifungal medications can increase the metabolism of pill contraceptives. Oral steroids and injections can also affect the pill’s absorbency rate.

Be sure to let your doctor know which medications you’re taking, so you can choose an appropriate contraceptive.

5. Birth Control Pills Need to Be Taken at the Same Time Daily

Some women experience spotting if they don’t take the pill at the same time daily. If you miss one pill or take it too late, it affects the integrity of your uterine lining. Being inconsistent with when you take the pill can cause you to bleed in between periods.

6. Can the Pill Stop Your Period?

Birth Control Pills

Whether or not you get your period while on the pill depends on what type of pill you take. Most birth control pills are designed to suppress ovulation, which means you never really experience a true period.

But you will experience period-like bleeding if you’re taking a pill that contains both estrogen and progesterone. These pills are usually taken for three weeks, and you take a break during the fourth week. During this fourth week, you’ll experience some bleeding which resembles your period. This is normal, and does not mean that the pill is not working.

Breakthrough bleeding is normal when you first start taking the pill. Spotting should occur during the first three months or so of taking oral contraceptives, but if the bleeding continues, you may want to see your doctor to try a different contraceptive. Also, consider whether you’re taking the pill at the same time each day and make sure that you aren’t taking any medications that may interfere with the pill’s absorption.

Whittingham: Bondz the man to fill Devera spot

Guy Whittingham believes Bondz N’Gala can comfortably cushion the blow of losing Joe Devera to injury.

Devera picked up a grade one hamstring tear at Burton on Saturday, forcing him out of action after only eight minutes.

His replacement was N’Gala, who turned in a powerful and dominant display alongside Sonny Bradley at the heart of the Blues defence.

Pompey are still assessing the extent of Devera’s injury, yet clearly he faces a battle to line up against Fleetwood this weekend.

That would put the former Stevenage defender in the frame to replace him.

Shaun Cooper, meanwhile, is expected to feature at right-back in place of the suspended Yassin Moutaouakil.

Whittingham said: ‘Bondz was great (at Burton), that is why we had no problems bringing Joe off with a hamstring, you can’t risk him going on.

‘He has been waiting for this opportunity and I thought did fantastically well.

‘Steve Allen knows his job and as soon as somebody tells you he has tweaked a hamstring there is no point continuing because that only makes it worse, so Joe had to come off.

‘So when you have Bondz coming on and playing that well it shows the importance of having three really good centre halves and the importance of having competition for places.

‘At Mansfield I thought Bondz and Sonny won a lot of things in the air and made sure their centre forwards didn’t have it easy.

‘We have been very lucky with the board here, they have backed us all the way and we wanted to try to push it a little bit and get something extra in.

‘With the likes of Bondz and Shaun we’ve done it for a reason as Saturday showed.’

Cirronet, Inc. (a subsidiary of RF Monolithics, Inc. (RFM) (Nasdaq:RFMI)) announces its exhibit at the Sensors Expo Conference in Rosemont, IL, June 11-13, 2007, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. The exhibit will include a broad range of Cirronet brand wireless sensor networking solutions and parent company RFMâ€™s brand of Virtual Wireâ„¢ short-range radio and RFIC devices that provide sensor data collection capabilities for a wide variety of applications. As a demonstration of those capabilities, Cirronet will showcase the Cooper Bussmann Cooper InVisionâ„¢ Downtime Reduction System, an M2M condition-monitoring application that utilizes Cirronetâ€™s wireless technology in a custom-built wireless monitoring solution.

Cirronet is known for its wide breadth of high quality wireless solutions that enable wireless data when and where you need it. They will be exhibiting their complete line of embeddable OEM modules including their family of ZigBeeâ„¢ modules and gateways, 802.15.4 modules, proprietary mesh modules, proprietary frequency hopping modules, BluetoothÂ® modules and industrial 802.11g modules. Cirronet products are available in the 433 MHz, 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz license-free bands. Showcasing Cirronet productsâ€™ suitability for industrial wireless sensor network applications is the Cooper InVision system that is built around a collection of Cirronet technologies.

The Cooper InVision solution is offered for industrial and commercial applications to reduce downtime and increase productivity by more quickly identifying open-circuit events caused by short-circuits and overloads. According to a comprehensive study of manufacturing facilities, an open-circuit event resulted in an average of 41 minutes of downtime with costs in some industries ranging from $300,000 to millions of dollars per site per hour1. By implementing the Cooper InVision solution, unscheduled downtime and associated costs may be reduced by as much as 60%, saving industrial operations millions of dollars per year.

Vurnon Anita is hoping that Newcastle United can replicate the fantastic atmosphere at St James’ Park in their crucial win over West Ham on the last day of last season.

The Dutch international was blown away by the volume on Tyneside that day as fans backed the team to the hilt.

Anita wants to take that sense of togetherness and support into the 2015/16 campaign as Newcastle look to better a 15th place finish in which they just staved off relegation. Anita accepts that it is up to the new-look United to give fans something to shout about.

He told the Chronicle: “We have to start the new season the way we ended last year with the win over West Ham. We have to start again (in the same way).

“From the beginning we have to start just like that. We saw that day that we had everybody behind us, which is going to make a big difference.”

Anita says Newcastle need to draw a line under a torrid season that included a club record of eight defeats on the spin.

The Dutch midfielder was excellent on the final day and he hopes that victory over West Ham in May was the turning point for not only himself but the club AND the supporters.

Anita said: “It was important for myself and the team because we wanted to stay up. We gave everything. We want it like that in every game.”

Do you think Vurnon Anita has a part to play under Steve McClaren?

Anita had seemed unsettled at one stage last season as he struggled for game time under Alan Pardew.

But he is understood to be highly-rated by Steve McClaren, who knows him from his days at Ajax when the Toon boss managed FC Twente – and like a host of players the midfielder has been handed a fresh start.

Newcastle hope to add defender Chancel Mbemba to their squad by the end of the week and Anderlecht’s general manager Herman Van Holsbeeck says: “I expect very soon the transfer of Mbemba will get completed to Newcastle, then we can get two more players. You have to have some money if you want to get a top performer.”

Meanwhile, a Newcastle United XI drew 2-2 with Whitley Bay at the training ground on Wednesday. The Bay went 2-0 up before being pegged back by a young Magpies team.

CIE jointly organises seminar on Tree Management in Hong Kong with Tree Management Office, Development Bureau and The Conservancy Association

02 Feb, 2016

HKBU CIE organised a seminar on tree management in Hong Kong last month. Guest speakers including Dr. Lawrence Chau, Head of Tree Management Office (Greening, Landscape and Tree Management Section), Development Bureau, and Mr. Ken So, Chief Executive of The Conservancy Association were invited to give a talk to CIE Tree Management students.

Dr. Chau first gave an overview on the recent urban development in Hong Kong. Trees were essential to the city as they provided a lot of environmental benefits, such as giving cooling effect to the urban area, purifying the air and beautifying the vicinity. The Tree Management Office has played an important role in tree conservation and promoting greening plans in spite of various constraints. The office will continue its efforts to raise the standard of local practitioners in the arboriculture field.

In sharing the role of The Conservancy Association, Mr. So said that the association mainly focused on monitoring the standard of tree care practices in Hong Kong and was proactive in providing constructive opinions on related matters to the government. They also act as a channel to reflect the public views. Towards the end of the talk, the two speakers made use of a case study to explain the current tree management situation in Hong Kong. All students have broadened their knowledge about the latest development of tree management in Hong Kong. Participants were impressed by the sharing of the two professionals and found the talk inspiring.

1995’s Kevin Costner vehicle Waterworld is widely regarded as one of the biggest cinematic belly flops of all time. (Cards on the table, I loved Waterworld in 1995, and I love Waterworld now.) Costner, however, doesn’t look at the film as a failure, and doesn’t think it was a flop at all.

The film just turned 20 at the end of last month (it was released on July 28, 1995), and there have been some people looking back on it to mark the occasion. Jeff Wells at Hollywood Elsewhere is one who revisited Waterworld after a long time. He decided maybe he gave it a bum rap the first time around and reached out to Costner for his take. The actor responded with:
I know that people might think of Waterworld as a low point for me. It wasn’t. It could have had a better, more obvious outcome. The thing I know is that I never had to stand taller for a movie when most were going the other way. The movie with all its imperfections was a joy for me…a joy to look back upon and to have participated in.

Reviews of Waterworld were mixed upon its initial theatrical release. While things like plot, story, and characterization were picked apart by critics, many still praised the soaring action, comparing it to George Miller’s Mad Max films, except, you know, on water. The film has held up remarkable well over the years, and while I don’t know if it has quite achieved full-fledged cult status, the hard stance originally taken against the movie has definitely softened over time.

To be fair, the bulk of the fuss wasn’t primarily about the movie itself, it was about the out of control budget. Set in a world where there is no land, every last scene takes place on the high seas. With massive, elaborate sets—shooting in open water is tricky and expensive—the film kept getting deeper and deeper into cost overruns, until the original $100 million budget ballooned to a bloated $175 million, which was, at the time, a record. Granted, that is still an ass-load of cash, but in today’s blockbuster-minded landscape, that’s barely considered outlandish at all (these days Waterworld is the 63rd most expensive movie ever produced).

Just in case you don’t remember, Waterworld takes place in a future where the polar ice caps have melted, causing the oceans to rise, and forcing everyone to live on boats, or makeshift floating shantytowns. Kevin Costner plays a mutant flipper-man who sails around on his post-apocalyptic catamaran, drinking his own pee, and battling sea monsters. A stoic, reluctant hero (think Max Rockatansky on water), he rescues a woman and a small girl, who, as it turns out, are the key to finding the mythical "Dryland." Their journey is complicated, however, when they run afoul of Dennis Hopper’s Deacon, a post-apocalyptic warlord, and his gang of "smokers," who live on an old oil tanker but who would also prefer to live on dry land. And yes, Waterworld rules as hard as that description makes it sound. So, if you haven’t watched it in a while, what better reason to pop it in than the 20th anniversary?

Circuit Specialists is pleased to offer the Siglent SDS1202X at this low, low price.

The Siglent SDS1202X is a 200MHz, 1GSa/s, 2 channel, super phosphor oscilloscope with 14M memory depth.

Siglent's 100MHz SDS1202X phosphor oscilloscope has a 100MHz bandwidth with a sample rate of 1 GSa/s, and a standard record length of 14 Mpts. For ease of use and efficiency of workflow, most of the commonly used functions can be accessed with its user-friendly one-button design.

The SDS1202X series employs a Siglent's newest generation of SPO technology, which provides excellent signal fidelity, low background noise and a high waveform capture rate. The SDS1202X has a minimum vertical input range of 500uV/div, an innovative digital trigger system with high sensitivity and low jitter, and a waveform capture rate of 60,000 frames/second, which is astounding for an oscilloscope at this low price. This model also employs a 256-level intensity grading display function but adds an additional color temperature display mode not found in other models in this class and has the ability to display fine waveforms in either dot or vector mode for ultimate accuracy.

This version of Siglent's 200 MHz oscilloscope supports several intelligent triggering modes including serial bus triggering and decoding. With its 14Mpts memory depth, the SDS1202X offers flexible waveform recording and sequential triggering to allow for extended waveform records to be captured, stored, and analyzed. Add to these features Siglent's impressive array of measurement and math capabilities, options for an integrated 25 MHz arbitrary waveform generator, as well as serial decoding, and the features and high-performance of the SDS1202X oscilloscope cannot be matched at any other 'scope in this price range.

2015 World Athletics Championships: Kenyan duo fail drugs tests

history of doping in sport_00014312

    The evolution of doping in sport

The evolution of doping in sport 02:19

Story highlights

  • Two Kenyan runners fail drugs tests at the World Athletics Championships
  • Koki Manunga, 21, Joyce Zakary, 29 are both 400 meter runners
  • Runners were tested at their team hotel

(CNN)Athletics' fight against the curse of doping suffered a setback Wednesday after two Kenyan athletes failed drugs tests.

The 21-year-old Koki Manunga and the 29-year-old Joyce Zakary -- who are both 400 meter runners -- were provisionally suspended by the International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF) after returning positive samples on August 20 and 21 respectively at the World Championships in Beijing, China.
Joyce Zakary of Kenya
"These targeted tests were conducted by the IAAF at the athlete hotels during the pre-competition phase," said an IAAF statement.
    "The IAAF will not discuss the details of the cases as they progress through the results management process."
    As it launched its own investigation, Athletics Kenya (AK) said it had met with the IAAF and the two athletes.
    "Athletics Kenya will provide full support and cooperation to the IAAF during the results management process and will not be providing further comment at this stage," the organization said in a statement sent to CNN.
    Prior to the start of the World Championships the IAAF, which last week elected its new head -- British former Olympian Sebastian Coe -- has had to battle doping allegations.
    Earlier this month, Britain's Sunday Times and German broadcaster ARD revealed they had access to a leaked database containing more than 12,000 blood tests from 5,000 athletes from 2001 to 2012. Leading experts concluded that these that these revealed an "extraordinary level of cheating" in the sport.
    In response to those reports, AK said they were "an attempt to smear" its team ahead of the World Championships.
    "AK has been at the forefront of identifying doping as a problem and in the past two years we have devoted a lot of time and resources to combat the vice with the assistance of IAAF, the World Anti-Doping Agency, the Kenyan government and international partners such as China and Norway," it said in a statement on August 2.
    "We have committed resources on doping sensitisation of our athletes at annual seminars and our leaders have used every available platform to emphasize the dangers and perils of using banned substances.
    "Our mission as a national federation in conjunction with our partners is to ensure a clean sport of athletics and therefore will do everything within our mandate to tackle the issues of doping."

The collaboration of financial information provider and leading blockchain developer for the investment industry is expected to significantly benefit the clients of both companies.

Some companies are just meant to partner – and that is the case of FactSet and CG Blockchain. Both companies operate in the financial world, and the scope of the products they offer seems to be complimentary. On the 8th of February the companies announced the beginning of strategic relationship.

FactSet is a company which provides investors with all the products and services needed for better trading experience. It is headquartered in the US. FactSet has a long history – it was founded in 1978 and has grown up to the scale of presence in 23 countries. It offers solutions for all kinds of traders, investment bankers, wealth managers, etc.

CG Blockchain specializes in blockchain-based technologies for investment industry. The company uses its own platform BCT Fundstore to provide users with a set of services. The platform provides investors with a bulk of tools for cryptocurrency trading.

The main idea behind the new partnership is the integration of order and execution management system (OEMS) by FactSet and CG Blockchain’s services. The collaboration has already attracted some clients. John Adam, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Portfolio Management and Trading Solutions of FactSet, said that 17 firms have already confirmed their usage of new services – and more are still in the negotiating process.

“Hedge funds and asset managers are looking to adopt disruptive technologies; meanwhile, global regulatory authorities are demanding increasing levels of transparency and accountability to protect the end investor. It is critical for established technology partners like FactSet to continue to evolve our solutions to both meet current client needs and set the standard for future technology initiatives globally,” he said. “CG Blockchain has harnessed a new, innovative technology that raises the bar for compliance. The integration of Fundstore and FactSet OEMS will offer institutional investors visibility and timeliness that was previously unavailable from a third party.”

The combination of OEMS and BCT Fundstore services upgrades the offer of both companies. FactSet gets an opportunity to make their trading strategies system more transparent and secure. For CG Blockchain customers the collaboration allows to provide their users with a new quality of service.

“This is an extremely exciting initiative that I believe is nothing short of transformational,” said Bob Bonomo, President of CG Blockchain. “This mutually beneficial alliance plugs FactSet into the multi-hundred billion-dollar blockchain market that is currently experiencing exponential growth—and it gives FactSet clients access to institutional-grade blockchain-based apps and tokenized ecosystems. Each of these factors positions FactSet for increased market share and places it at the forefront of this industry segment.”

The collaboration of FactSet and CG Blockchain is a great example of the mutually beneficial partnership. The cryptocurrency trading has encouraged the development of more secure and, at the same time, more transparent services. However, the importance of traditional investment companies’ experience can hardly be overestimated. The united efforts of these companies take the investment to a whole new level.

Columbia History

This is the directive given by our very own tough mother, Chairman Gert Boyle. It’s the reason we’re constantly testing our products against every type of terrible, no good, day-ruining condition the skies of the mighty Pacific Northwest can dish out. Sure, it makes life hell for us, but it means great gear for you. So when she finally does use her famous stamp of approval, you know you’re duly equipped to stay outside long after the featherweights have retreated indoors.

Tested Tough Stamp

Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, Columbia Sportswear Company has been making gear so that Pacific Northwesterners can enjoy the outdoors for more than 70 years. At the helm for over 40 years has been our Chairman, Gert Boyle. Her Tough Mother persona has grown Columbia into the global sportswear company that it is today—still based in Portland, still making no-nonsense apparel and footwear to keep you WARM, DRY, COOL and PROTECTED no matter what. Our unique Pacific Northwest heritage and Boyle family irreverence is what sets us apart from the competition.

We're a family business gone global. Chairman Gert Boyle's parents — German nationals who fled Nazi Germany in 1938 — purchased a small hat company upon their arrival in Portland and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river that inspired their new home. This humble beginning was of huge significance to the family, marking new found freedom and a fresh start. Her husband later took over, and after he died Gert ran the show, going from housewife to executive overnight. Today, her son Tim Boyle is our longtime president and CEO. The family — like our business — has experienced its ups and downs, but enjoying the outdoors together has always been integral to its success.

Columbia is made up of real people who are as passionate about the outdoors as you are. And, while our products are available around the world, we're based in the great Pacific Northwest, where majestic forests frame volcanic mountains and a rugged coast. This is where we hike, ride, fish, hunt, climb, camp, golf, paddle, run, and just enjoy fresh air with friends. Come join us.
