How will A.I. effect our Future
How will Artificial Intelligence Effect our Future?
By Diadon Acs
It seems artificial intelligence technology is inevitable for the human race's future. Despite what may be portrayed in many movies, A.I. has the potential to partner with its parents to create an incredibly abundant future. As more advanced A.I. succeed further on the Turing Test it's only a matter of time before we birth a complete intelligence with complete self-awareness.
The question that many are asking themselves is one of social interaction and the exact role A.I. technology will play in our future. Will it be a detriment to job security, or perhaps serve as our gateway to living forever? These questions I can't answer, but I can give my opinion on what is possible. It seems very likely that the importance of what we teach our A.I. creations will be the greatest determining factor in our future. Advanced robotics with A.I. integration can help reduce workloads for large corporations, but what does this disruptive technology mean for the working class?
I will briefly discuss this subject as it falls more under the category of social engineering rather than computer/robotic engineering. It is an important subject to consider, however, since the two forms of engineering are now beginning to directly affect one another. There are two general propositions for seamless integration when robots out work humans and put people out of a job as they have begun to do. The first is a universal wage, in which all people have a set amount they will be paid monthly for all of their basic necessities (ie Food, Shelter, Water, etc)
The second is to completely abolish the monetary system altogether and create a gift based society, or something that resembles the venus project. There are probably several more options that escape my ability to comprehend. There is a 3rd option that saddens me tremendously, and that resembles something a little closer to a dystopian sci-fi movie. I will come back to the importance of these social engineering considerations later.
What are some of the problems A.I. is solving now?

AI is becoming more advanced and out competing with humans in many tasks. Probably the greatest example of this is Deep Blue which is a computer that beat chess master Garry Kasparov. This brings us to our first type of AI
Type I AI: Reactive machines
This type of machine learning is based on reactions in real time. With little or no memory or past experience to go off of. It uses real-time probability to carry out an action. It has been pre-programmed the outcomes of the actions taken and then reacts to the probability of the tasks that are possible. The problem with this type of AI is one of redundancies and specializations that don't allow the AI to do different tasks besides the specific ones that have been programmed. These Reactive A.I. Machines are usually the most commonly used today for specialized tasks and reliability. A solution to redundancy is machines that learn from past experience, which bring us to our next AI Type.
Type II AI: Limited memory
This type of AI learning is pre-programmed with set parameters like type one machines. Over time it alters its programming to experience.
An example would be an autonomous vehicle which has been pre-programmed to drive in certain lanes and go to a set destination. However, along with its path from point A to B, it learns along the way with sensor data to ensure it doesn't run into things.
The problem with this type of AI is that memory is limited in these mechanical systems. They don't have the storage capacity like the biomechanical brain (ie Human Brain). So the stored memories of past experience are only shortly stored to conserve memory. These shortcomings are slowly being improved upon as technology advances. Combining type 1 and type 2 neural networks is a new step forward in the evolution of AI technology. Creating the ability to have two neural networks communicating with each other to critique and modify results.
Which brings us to type 3 A.I. using the theory of the minds network and simulating that in AI systems.
Type III AI: Theory of mind
This is a very advanced robot system that can connect itself to other paths of thought. Connecting to neural networks that already exist such as a parent passing down information to a child. Its called mind theory in psychology, and it is a cognitive ability of a network to recognize that other networks are present. Or in other words, that there are other creatures that are alive too. This is a major challenge for AI development to get a machine to recognize other entities without out being corrupted by there data. A good example of how this is still a major problem is looking at the results from Microsoft's Tay Twitter Chat Bot.
So a major problem is training morality and ethics into an AI's environmental interactions. I am sure as time goes on, there will be new ways to approach this problem using a combination of Type 1 and 2 A.I. Much like what we humans like to call a conscience, using feedback neural networking can potentially do this same process.
These types of steps for creating multilevel neural networks, to make a more complete AI mind, most certainly are the direction we are headed. It's just a matter of time and resource before we are able to start discovering the full potential of our A.I. children.
Type IV AI: Self-awareness
This is truly the end goal for A.I. and truthfully a spiritual journey most of us humans are trying to take. A self-aware entity is the essence of complete cognition and all life itself. So if this goal can be achieved, A.I. will be a new life form on this planet that perhaps has the potential to surpass our intellectual abilities.
An empathetic relation with other neural systems or beings around is crucial to the success of this type 4 A.I. System. For example, when a person yells "Watch out", other people around recognize that there is urgency in the voice and perhaps danger. Most people can then relate to that past experience of urgency to put a greater importance that in a particular situation. This type of interconnection with the environment, as well as self-awareness in a computer minds place in a said environment, will be crucial to making the advancement of A.I.
Though code can create more code through templates and duplication, Those templates have to be written by a person in the first place. It seems almost impossible for a "new" template to be written by A.I. alone. The human aspect of creativity or thinking in new ways is a problem not yet solved for A.I. computing technology.
The greatest problem is probably Social Engineering
When this type of A.I. is achieved, the redundant specialized tasks of Type 1 and 2 will be easily trained in or out… but a new sense of morality or computer enslavement might arise with the advent of machine consciousness.
This brings us full circle to the original moral dilemma established at the beginning of this article. That is what will our social engineering look like when we are able to bring such advanced machines online? What are we planning to teach these creations of human engineering?
These are the really important questions we should be asking ourselves now. To avoid future crisis events that can arise from ignorance in social engineered designs. It's important to use natures designs that tend to flourish efficiently to our advantage harmonically so to speak. If it is nature we are attempting to emulate by developing A.I. Shouldn't it be nature we ask the questions in order to find answers for the progressive evolution of A.I.?
The development of Artificial Intelligence Technology lays in the hands of its engineers like any progressive technology. If you are interested in learning more with hands-on experience, here is a free neural network program I have enjoyed.

But wait a minute, guys. There's a whole other deck here. It's hard not to like Vraska the Unseen. She may not be the greatest card in competitive play, but she has seen some Standard play before and she's very good in Commander. Let's see what her Golgari friends have brought to the party.
9 Forest
1 Golgari Guildgate
1 Rogue's Passage
11 Swamp
2 Tainted Wood
1 Acidic Slime
1 Corpse Traders
1 Death-Hood Cobra
1 Drooling Groodion
1 Festerhide Boar
2 Gatecreeper Vine
1 Highway Robber
1 Mold Shambler
1 Nekrataal
1 Ohran Viper
1 Oran-Rief Recluse
1 Pulse Tracker
1 Putrid Leech
1 Reaper of the Wilds
1 River Boa
1 Sadistic Augermage
1 Shadow Alley Denizen
1 Slate Street Ruffian
1 Spawnwrithe
1 Stonefare Crocodile
1 Tavern Swindler
1 Vinelasher Kudzu
1 Wight of Precinct Six
1 Consume Strength
1 Grisly Spectacle
1 Hypnotic Cloud
1 Last Kiss
1 Marsh Casualties
1 Night's Whisper
1 Stab Wound
2 Tragic Slip
1 Treasured Find
1 Underworld Connections
1 Vraska the Unseen
In the mana base, there are two copies of Tainted Wood, which is a great little dual land as long as you control a Swamp. These types of land tend to be included in duel decks, and they're actually quite handy. This Tainted cycle was printed in Torment, however, which is why you'll never seen them in Modern.
The rares in this deck are actually quite decent. Four of them are creatures. Ohran Viper is the "money" card here, being worth a few dollars. Originally from Coldsnap, it only really sees play in Cube anymore, but it was a really good card in Standard at one point. You can see why. Whenever it deals combat damage to a creature, destroy that creature at end of combat. It's sort of like deathtouch, but not quite. Also, whenever it deals combat damage to a player, you may draw a card. Having both of these abilities on one card is pretty cool. Really good creature that just doesn't have a home in competitive formats now-a-days. Some Commander decks still use it, though.
The other honorable mentions for creatures in the deck include Nekrataal, the 2/1 first strike Human Assassin for 2BB that destroys a non-artifact, non-black creature when it enters the battlefield. He's a Cube card, and was good in Constructed for a long time. Putrid Leech gets awesome new art, and it was a force in Jund at one point. Having a creature that can become a 4/4 at the cost of 2 life is actually pretty worth it if you can attack in freely with it (or just to win a combat). Besides that, there are a bunch of okay commons and uncommons that work well enoguh with the deck. Sadistic Augermage is the only one I don't particularly like, as why would you want to put a card back on top of your deck when it dies? It does make opponents do this, as well, but I don't see the advantage.
There aren't a ton of non-creature spells in the deck, but most of them are pretty good. I especially like Consume Strength and Marsh Casualties, both of which are solid cards. Night's Whisper is okay, as are most of the removal spells, but Hypnotic Cloud doesn't do much for me as a discard spell. Two copies of Tragic Slip are excellent. However, easily the best rare in this entire deck outside of the planeswalker is Underworld Connections. Card draw at the cost of a single life point is always okay, and it's proven itself in Mono-Black Devotion in Theros Standard. It's a bit too slow for Modern, so its Eternal value lies in Commander, but it's still a solid card.
Vraska, the Unseen
I've always liked Vraska the Unseen, but as a 5-drop planeswalker with dual colors in her casting cost, she hasn't really found a competitive home. She has seen play in some black/green decks, and she can destroy a non-land permanent as soon as she enters. Her +1 is interesting, in that she can protect herself by taking any creature that attacks her to the grave, but most of the time it's the -3 to destroy a permanent that she'll be used for.
Her ultimate is definitely not to be overlooked, however. She starts with 5 loyalty, and the ultimate costs 7. She makes three 1/1 black Assassin creature tokens that have "Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, that player loses the game." Obviously, I love this effect because those creatures literally say, if you're playing one-on-one, "whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you Win Target Game." This effect has definitely gone off in Commander on many occasions (especially with Doubling Season about) and can kill an entire table in one shot if they can be made un-blockable. However, most of the time, you'll be lucky to destroy a permanent, tick her up one, and destroy a second permanent before she goes away. A two-for-one for 5 mana is certainly okay.
Deck Overview
While the Jace deck definitely has more money value, the Vraska deck is aggressive and has, in my opinion, a lot better creature base. It has solid removal, and while Jace's deck has the ability to slow you down, Vraska can kill an opposing Jace (or any planeswalker or problematic creature) with her ability and the deck has enough of a removal package to deal with most of the threats Jace's deck has.
I realize that these Duel Decks are purposely designed to face one another one-on-one. But I think the Vraska deck is better in the short game. If it goes to a long game, I see the Jace deck winning (especially with four Remand and Lord of the Unreals). But the Vraska deck could be easily upgraded, as well, with four copies of Putrid Leech, four Ohran Vipers, and four Spawnwrithe, taking out some of the filler creatures. With a few more tweaks to an already solid removal base, this is a real deck. It's not anything incredibly competitive, but it's a fun starter deck.
Overall, between this and the Jace deck, I think that the Vraska deck would be more fun for me to play than the Jace deck. I'd love to see how these decks actually interact, however. If you're reading this after they've been released, let me know what your experiences are with the decks. In any case, definitely pick these decks up. The Remand and planeswalkers alone are worth the money.

Premium Glass Guard
Crystal clear viewing without the obstruction
Completely safe to touch
Premium Glass Guard
Imagine a fireplace experience that is safe to touch and allows viewing without the obstruction of a safety barrier. While Napoleon's Fireplaces with safety barriers represent increased safety and a barely noticeable change to your fireplace viewing experience. Imagine one that is crystal clear. A fireplace, its fire that can be seen from any angle in a room. Thanks to the Premium Glass Guard System, you can have perfectly unimpeded vistas of the dancing flames. Better still, is that it is completely safe to touch. The premium glass guard makes the comfort of a fireplace accessible and completely safe for children and pets.
What Is A Premium Glass Guard?
Our Premium Glass Guard System is an additional glass barrier in front of the main glass of the fireplace. There is an airspace between the two pieces of glass that helps to decrease the temperature of the radiant heat from the fireplace. This airspace decreases the temperature of the exterior glass leaving it warm to the touch.
Available exclusively on our Luxuria™ Series of Gas Fireplaces, one of our most versatile fireplace models, available in four sizes, with See-Through options too.
Luxuria™ Series
Available in 38, 50, 62 & 74
The Luxuria™ Series of Linear Gas Fireplaces feature multiple designer options making it the most versatile linear series available.View
How Does Premium Glass Guard Work?
The Glass Guard creates two air channels between the firebox and the outer glass that serves to redirect the radiant heat back into the fireplace to be vented out. When used in conjunction with Napoleon's Innovated Heat Management System called Dynamic Heat Control, redirected out of the room to better manage the heat for comfort in any climate. The Glass Guard can also be pulled out safely, for easy access for cleaning and fireplace maintenance.

The advantages of gate automation
The main benefit of automating your gate is the simplicity of accessing your property whilst maintaining its security. Your gate automation and its accessories are designed to increase not only your security and comfort but also the safe operation of the opening and closing manoeuvres. All kits sold of Mister Gates Direct include as a minimum 1 remote, 1 pair of obstacle detecting photocells and a wall mounted flashing light which signals when the system is in use. Practically is a key motivation for adding automation to your gate, the ease of pushing a button from the comfort of your car is appealing when compared to the alternative, particularly on those cold wet evenings. A widely unknown advantage of automating driveway gates is that it stiffens the structure when in the closed position offering extra rigidity and a further obstruction to any unwanted visitors.
Sliding gate automation
All our sliding gates can be automated by selecting the option when configurating your gate, there are several aspects to consider when choosing the right automation kit:
Weight and dimensions of your gate
These are the first characteristics to take into account. They determine the choice of your gate motor and the power necessary to ensure its daily movement. Mister Gates Direct have taken the effort out of your search and offers the gate automation suited to your customized gate automatically. A simple and practical choice when ordering.
Power supply
Gate automation is available as 24v or 230v. A 24v automation kit allows the gate to function with no interruption in the event of power failure, backup batteries (optional extra) can be installed in the system as an extra precaution. For both options all motors are connected to a standard 230v mains power supply. Less commonly in the UK there is also the option to fit a solar powered motor.
Ease of installation
As our sliding gate automation kits run on a drive-rack which is attached to the gate, all our sliding gates are designed with a reinforced lower profile as standard to facilitate simple installation. When configurating your gate on Mister Gates Direct the correct length of drive rack will automatically be added to the system, we take care of this for you. Extra lengths and fixation kits can be purchased separately.
Dual swing gate automation
There are two main choices for automating dual swing gates; articulated arms and ram cylinders, both possessing their own advantages. The articulated arm automation is the most popular style being sturdy and resistant for everyday intensive use with a long-life span. Ram cylinders are particularly suited to narrow driveways thanks to their smaller and more compact design, although subject to more stringent size and weight restrictions. That's why we offer you a choice of your automation style, depending on your individual needs Mister Gates Direct can recommend the best suited dual swing automation for your gate. We have selected a range of Europe's top recognized brands for the sake of comfort and quality.
When choosing your automation, you should consider:
Weight and dimensions of your gate
These factors determine the style of motor and the power needed to operate it. Mister Gates Direct will automatically offer you the best suited system taking these details into account. It's taken care of by us so you don't have to worry.
Post positioning
The dimensions and positioning of your posts may determine the suitable automation for your gate. With articulated arm automation the bracket will retract 20-30cm to each the side when in the open position, if you have a narrow driveway with limited space adjacent to the post a ram cylinder would prove more suitable due to its compact design.
Underground automation
The underground automation is certainly the most discreet style to operate your gate. The motors are located in boxes placed underground at the hinge sides of your entrance. This is the most aesthetic model for your home, the motors are barely visible creating a sleek finish. All our dual swing gates are suited to this style of automation although shoes will need to be provided by your installer to adapt the lower profile to be attached as welding is not an option with our aluminium gates.

Resisting Israeli Tyranny a Legitimate Palestinian Right
by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman)
Resisting tyranny is a universal right. Thomas Jefferson called it "obedience to God."
In his second Treatise of Government, John Locke defended the "right of revolution," saying when government fails the people, its "trust (is) forfeited…power devolv(ing) into the hands of those that gave it."
In his landmark "Civil Disobedience" essay, Henry David Thoreau defended "the right of revolution…the right to refuse allegiance to, and to resist, the government, when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable."
Ralph Waldo Emerson supported the right to resist unjust laws on moral grounds.
Martin Luther King defended the right to resist, saying "I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law."
Half a century of Israeli military occupation turned historic Palestine into an armed camp hostile to Arabs – persecuted and unwanted, terrorized and brutalized, countless numbers imprisoned and tortured, thousands murdered by wars, assassinations, and industrial-scale cold-blooded murder.
Throughout its history, Israel defied international laws, norms and standards, including numerous Security Council and General Assembly resolutions.
Israel wants Palestinian history, culture and collective memory erased – Judaization a policy of de-Arabization, colonizers brutalizing the colonized, supported by the West instead of denounced, the rights of millions of Palestinians (including diaspora ones) ignored.
The Nakba never ended, ongoing throughout the Occupied Territories, stealing Palestinian land, terrorizing and displacing its inhabitants, killing them with impunity.
Former IDF chief of staff/Israeli politician Moshe Dayan once said "Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages."
"You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist, not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either."
"There is not one single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population."
While Judaization of historic Palestine proceeded, countless amounts of Palestinian possessions were looted by Zionist militias – stolen from homes, government offices, libraries and other facilities.
In their film "The Great Book Robbery," Benny Brunner and Arjan El Fassed explained a well-planned anti-Palestinian offensive, saying:
"For decades, Zionist and Israeli propaganda described the Palestinians as 'people without culture.' "
"Thus, the victorious Israeli state took upon itself to civilize the Palestinians who remained within its borders at the end of the 1948 war."
"They were forbidden to study their own culture or to remember their immediate past. Their memory was seen as a dangerous weapon that had to be suppressed and controlled."
What began during Israel's so-called war of independence, continues today – Jerusalem and Gaza the twin-epicenters of Israel's aim to establish unchallenged control over historic Palestine by brute force, eliminating resistance throughout the Occupied Territories.
Century ago Zionists wanted a future Jewish state to include Palestine, southern Lebanon, southwestern Syria including Golan, western Jordan and Egypt's Sinai.
The notion of a greater Israel persists, the Jewish state complicit with Washington in wanting to redraw the Middle East map, replacing sovereign independent governments with pro-Western puppet regimes, partitioning Iraq, Syria, Iran, and other regional countries for easier control.
Israeli violence in Gaza since Friday continues, part of a longstanding pattern of persecution, aiming to terrorize Palestinians into submission to a Jewish occupier.
On Sunday, Israeli soldiers attacked East Jerusalem Palestinian residents, around 100 reported injured, mostly from live fire.
More injuries occurred in Gaza since Friday's bloodbath, a pattern likely to continue throughout the "Great (Palestinian) March of Return," ongoing until mid-May.
Israel enforces control by violent suppression of justifiable resistance. The self-styled "world's most moral army" is one of the most ruthless.

An Interesting Statistic, Imams on the Dole
2 comments:
It seems you're making the assumption that all imams are evangelistic (with connotations of fundamentalism and therefore somewhat deviant) when I don't think that's necessarily the case. In my understanding an imam is simply a religious leader and can be either moderate or extremist.ReplyDelete
I find it rather interesting that you attempt to tease out of my words a more controversial statement than what I really made, i.e. that all imams are somehow deviant fundamentalists.ReplyDelete
I neither said such a ridiculous thing, nor believe it, nor implied it.
However I don't think that it is a stretch to assume that leaders of most religious groups are interested in recruiting others to those groups (i.e evangelizing) and in strengthening it in other ways. Many Christians do it, many Buddhists do it, and so do many Muslims. Rather than being deviant, it is the norm and one with which I have no personal beef at all.
That doesn't mean that I don't think it is interesting that a government which prides itself* on a strict adherence to the principle of state/religion separation would in fact be a strong (indirect) supporter of religion.
Life is full of fascinating contradictions.

The hardest part of any essay is formatting. Teachers would like to see direct and indirect MLA in-text citations to make sure the student has read the recommended sources. The ability to cite sources in MLA properly proves that a student is capable of selecting only the most important and relevant information out of the whole study material.
There are several popular writing styles along with MLA. They are:
- Chicago (a.k.a. Turabian)
- Harvard
- Oxford
- Vancouver
As you can see, they are called just as the well-known organizations or educational institutions. Scholars usually create these styles to cite, and they implement all changes to the writing standards.
Modern Language Association is responsible for suggesting MLA writing style. It is the first type of formatting students meet when studying at school. MLA format is rather simple and clear in contrast to APA and other types of formatting. However, students still must learn Modern Language Association (MLA) Handbook to know how to cite. They may also search for the good samples of MLA writing style on the web.
MLA academic essay formatting is used to cite sources applied throughout the paper. It is also a way to check how well the students know all academic standards. Writing styles like MLA and APA prepare young people for future work with various documentation. To cite is just as important as using proper English grammar and words.
At least 15-20% of the final grade depends on the way student cited all used sources in MLA correctly. That is why it is crucial to learn the basic principles of MLA before starting to work on the paper. This site reveals the secrets of satisfactory MLA writing style. In case you want to pay someone to do your assignment, contact our pro writers and get help.
Why Do People Cite Sources Using MLA?
First, it is important to answer the question, "Why do writers need to search for the sources and cite them in MLA?" A book or article written by experienced writer or scholar may serve as a perfect resource to collect ideas. Students cannot take all information from their heads as they are in the process of education, so they can't have all the answers. Any MLA essay or research paper should sound objective instead of being subjective unless we talk about specific assignments like a reflection on the movie. Even personal statements require a little research. It works when an applicant has to gather information on the target institution to prepare a corresponding admission essay. This time you don't need to use MLA style basics to cite anything. Formatting is required for the tasks you are given during the academic term:
- Essays
- Research and term papers
- Lab reports
- Solutions to case studies
- Coursework projects
- Book/movie reviews
- Literature reviews
- Annotated bibliographies
- Research and thesis proposals
- Article critique
- Dissertations
- Other papers in MLA
The next logical question is, "Why do we actually have to cite and provide full references to each source in MLA style or another paper format?" You see, almost every credible channel has a copyright meaning only its author have a right to cite it in any situation. Other people can refer to his words with the help of citations. Nobody cares about how well you cite when it comes to the oral speech. However, good business, government, or science speakers still cite the sources in MLA or APA formats during their public speeches and presentations.
Every assignment from simple essay to PPT presentation has to include every cited material in MLA style or any other paper formats required by the teacher. If you are not asked to add citations in certain formats, it would be easier to cite the entire essay in MLA as far as it is the simplest genre.
Reasons to Use Parenthetical Citations in MLA
Because they want to acknowledge the parts that are based on the particular sources, professional researchers include short parenthetical descriptions next to the direct MLA in-text citations. According to any Modern Language Association guide on MLA style, the writer has to add at least the last name of the author when he cites something. If the page is known, he should include it too. View more tips on writing academic papers in MLA style.
There is another type of MLA citations, indirect, which cite the words of another author through paraphrasing. These times, the information must appear in the body of the cited sentence, so there is no need to insert the parenthetical citation in MLA. Usually, the length of the MLA style citation depends on the amount of information the writer gives within the sentence.
What Types of Sources Are the Best to Cite?
Before you select which citations to write down in MLA format, mind that the sources you work with must be updated, credible, and relevant. Those can't be any forums or online encyclopedias that can be edited by anyone. Only academic and scientific sources that have copyright can contain reliable and recent information on the specific topic, so cite them only.
It is not necessary to cite every single source. If your information resource is a talking head or the guy-next-door, you may simply ignore adding any citations. Please try to work with the credible sources only to gain full credit!
If you can't write a properly cited bibliography in MLA style, place an order with a time-tested writing service to earn a better grade for your essay.

The centenary of the birth of Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta is August 26, and Time magazine has just released an illustrated book on the woman who is in in process of moving toward sainthood in the Catholic Church. Titled "Mother Teresa at 100: The Life and Works of a Modern Saint," the book includes essays by some who knew her, including the Protestant pastor Rick Warren, Jesuit Father James Martin, Susan van Houte, who was adopted as an infant from one of Mother Teresa's residences for expectant women in Calcutta, and Father Brian Kolodiejchuk, MC, a member of the priests' society of Mother Teresa's order, the Missionaries of Charity. Father Kolodiejchuk is official promoter for her sainthood cause.
I was perusing the book the same day I read a news report that the Baltimore Archdiocese had just sent Rome materials for the sainthood cause of Father Patrick Peyton. Father Peyton was the Holy Cross priest who marshaled radio and TV stars to promote the rosary and family prayer, first in the United States and then throughout the world. Materials from Baltimore included reports of healings through his intercession that, if accepted by the Vatican, would mean we'll soon be speaking of Blessed Patrick Peyton.
I was lucky enough to personally meet each of them. Both had a beguiling charm. The diminutive nun made the richest of the rich know that the poorest of the poor were around them. The Nobel Prize winner drew the admiration of President Ronald Reagan, Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana. Former California Governor Jerry Brown spent time working with her in Calcutta.
The tall, Irish-born Father Peyton befriended Hollywood mega-stars, from the crooner Bing Crosby to the starlet Loretta Young and got them and other show biz folk to work for Family Rosary and Family Theater. They helped shape his messages: "The family that prays together, stays together" and "A world at prayer is a world at peace" that were staples of posters and billboards in post-World War II society.
Yet charm alone was not the secret of their success. Each one was rooted in an intense, real, yet other worldly, relationship that grounded them, Mother Teresa with Jesus, and Father Peyton with the Virgin Mary. The relationships began to intensify when they were young adults and they focused everything they did on these relationships for the rest of their lives. Mother Teresa spoke of Jesus and Father Peyton of Mary as if they were standing by their side. I think they were.
I interviewed Mother Teresa a few times. She was a hard interviewee because she did not say much and repeated her message to love Jesus over and over again. It was a challenge to get 300 words for a newspaper article out of her. But I'd leave the interview knowing I had a message to deliver.
I knew Father Peyton better because his headquarters were in my hometown, Albany, New York. He was more loquacious than Mother Teresa but his message was always the same, the power of prayer to Mary. After each encounter I'd feel I had a special commission from God Himself to spread devotion to the Blessed Virgin.
Both Mother Teresa and Father Peyton touched people deeply, but their impacts went beyond impressing them with their accomplishments, many as they were. Each was a mystic who glimpsed the divine and then radiated holiness without their knowing it. It wasn't something they spoke about specifically. Mother Teresa and Father Peyton were gifts to the 20th Century and proof that holiness can be within our reach even or because of the chaotic world in which we live.

Why Surf Culture Desperately Needs More Diversity
Justin Housman, Surfer, June 2, 2018
A friend of mine who owns a surf brand recently received an absolutely bonkers series of racist emails. The sender purchased my friend's product online, then somehow figured out his ethnicity after the fact. Before the order arrived, the customer sent an email canceling his purchase, citing my friend's ethnicity as the reason. {snip}
{snip} But my friend's run-in with at least one surfer's ethnic phobias did force me to realize how much I, a white guy from a mostly-white Californian beach town, have overestimated the shared experience of all surfers. All part of the same tribe, right? Clearly, that's also not remotely true.
It's clear that surf culture does have a problem, and that problem stems from a lack of diversity within our ranks. "History of Surfing" author Matt Warshaw pointed out in a 2015 essay published on Surfer.com that, as a pastime developed largely by brown-skinned Polynesians (as well as Africans in some places and Peruvians in others), surfing has always been multi-cultural.
After all, it was whites who were forced to "break surfing's glass ceiling in terms of race, a hundred-plus years ago, in Hawaii," says Warshaw. For surfers, "Hawaii is always there in the back of our minds. Play the race card, in other words, and you answer to Duke Kahanamoku."
That historical aspect may very well be true, but it doesn't at all address the issue that surfing today, at least in the world's two most globally influential surfing nations — the USA and Australia — is overwhelmingly white and upper middle class. This is true in countless lineups, where you're likely to paddle out and find a mostly homogenous pack of white people surfing on expensive boards, wearing expensive gear in areas with a high cost of living. If you can't afford it, you ain't surfing.
I called Jeff Williams, co-president of the Black Surfer's Collective (an organization that brings inner-city black kids in L.A. to the beach) to talk to him about diversity in surfing. "I've never really had problems with actual racism in surfing," Williams said. "I've surfed all over the world, and everywhere I've ever been, most surfers are pretty cool." But he does see the lack of minorities in the surf in the U.S. as problematic. "Look, anytime you try to talk about diversity in surfing, it all boils down to access," he said. {snip}
Williams thinks {snip} it would take something like a "surfing Tiger Woods" to get inner-city kids to start paying attention to surf culture in a real way. But if we did gain more diverse surf stars bringing different voices and experiences to the table, the mainstream surf culture could only change for the better. Think about The Brazilian Storm: the South American vanguard brought fiery competitiveness and legions of exuberant fans to the World Tour, giving professional surfing a much-needed injection of passion.
But tease that out to include more people of color and more people coming from communities not typically associated with surfing. What styles would emerge and what influences would inform them? What might surf art look like with if it was inspired by a surf experience that differed from the easygoing, middle-class beach life? How might board design evolve if more diverse voices were able to participate in the conversation?
I don't have the answers, but you don't have to look very far to find parallels in other sports. Skate culture is far more dynamic because of the cacophony of viewpoints, with universally-acclaimed skaters of diverse races and socioeconomic backgrounds adding to the melting pot. Surfing can only gain from more perspectives adding to our own understanding of what it means to be a surfer, and from embracing those who didn't come to the beach easily, but made their way nonetheless.

Signing of a protocol on Central Bank Training in Russia
On 13 October 2003, Dr. Willem F. Duisenberg, President of the European Central Bank (ECB), His Excellency Richard Wright, Head of the Delegation of the European Commission in Russia, and Mr. Sergey Ignatiev, Chairman of the Central Bank of Russia (CBR), signed a protocol in Moscow welcoming the signing of a contract for a project in Russia entitled "Central Bank Training". Within the framework of Technical Assistance for the Commonwealth of Independent States, the "TACIS" programme, the European Union will fund this EUR 3 million two-year project, which will be launched on 1 November 2003.
The project will be implemented through a co-ordinated "Eurosystem approach" involving the ECB, in partnership with national central banks (NCBs) of the euro area, and EU non-central bank supervisors. The ECB will co-ordinate the programme through a team of three staff members, one of whom will be stationed in Moscow, while nine NCBs and three EU non-central bank supervisors will assign experts to provide the training to experts from the CBR in Russia.
Specifically, the project seeks to help the CBR enhance its capacity in the field of banking supervision by transferring knowledge relating to sound practices employed by European banking supervisors. The wider objective of this major technical assistance project is to foster the stability of the Russian banking system.

Taste transduction - Homo sapiens (human)
Pathway menu
Organism menu
Pathway entry
Download KGML
Show description
Image file
Five basic tastes are recognized by humans and most other animals - bitter, sweet, sour, salty and umami. In vertebrates, taste stimuli are detected by taste receptor cells (TRCs). At least three distinct cell types are found in mammalian taste buds : type I cells, type II cells, and type III cells. Type I cells express epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) and are considered to be the major mediator of perception of low salt. In type II cells, transduction of bitter, sweet and umami is mediated by a canonical PLC-beta/IP3-signaling cascade, which culminates in the opening of the TRPM5 ion channel. This produces a depolarization that may allow CALMH1 channels to open and release ATP, which serves as a neurotransmitter to activate closely associated nerve afferents expressing P2X2, P2X3 receptors and adjacent type III cells expressing P2Y4 receptors. Type II taste cells also secrete acetylcholine (ACh) that appears to stimulate muscarinic receptors, specifically M3, on the same or neighboring Type II cells. This muscarinic feedback augments taste-evoked release of ATP. In type III cells, sour taste is initiated when protons enter through apically located proton-selective ion channels: polycystic kidney disease 2-like 1 protein (PKD2L1) and polycystic kidney disease 1-like 3 protein (PKD1L3) channels. Weak acids may also activate sour cells by penetrating the cell membrane and leading to closure of resting K+ channels and membrane depolarization. Further, voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are activated and release vesicular serotonin (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). 5-HT and GABA provide negative paracrine feedback onto receptor cells by activating 5-HT1A and GABAA, GABAB receptors, respectively. 5-HT also functions as a transmitter between presynaptic cells and the sensory afferent.

About: Sacramento
While being the seventh largest city in California, Sacramento is home to the state's capital. Sacramento is also the county seat of Sacramento County, and a major part of the four county core area of Sacramento, Placer, Yolo and El Dorado Counties. Sacramento grew as a result of Sutter's fort in the early 1800's and benefitted greatly from the California Gold Rush. Sacramento has many neighboring cities and unincorporated areas including Antelope, Aden-Arcade, Carmicheal, Fair Oaks, Gold River, La Riviera, Orangevale, Rio Linda/Elverta, North Highland and Vineyard. With its diverse cultural attractions, colleges, theatres and sporting events, Sacramento is a great place to call home and was cited in 2004 as one of America's most livable cities.
Sacramento Reverse Mortgage Limits
HUD has now announced its interpretation of H.R. 3221 and how it will implement this legislation. HUD cites that the legislation calls for a national limit of $417,000 for the HECM program and this new limit is now in place nationwide. This is very exciting for all Sacramento area residents as they were previously subject to different, lower limits. What this means is that if you are a senior borrower and you own a home in the area valued at more than the previous limit, this represents an even bigger opportunity.
Like most California areas, the Sacramento area residents, contrary to the national results, saw a decrease in the number of HUD HECM mortgages insured from the year to year period-ending September 2008 versus year-ending September 2007. Some speculate that the higher property values in California kept many of the senior borrowers who would otherwise have benefitted from the HUD HECM mortgage from being able to utilize the program. The drop in property values nationwide, the disappearance of private jumbo programs and the increased HECM limits now give Sacramento area residents another reason to again review this product.
Many senior homeowners have seen their retirement funds shrink drastically over the last 15 months. A top congressional budget analyst estimates that pension plans have lost as much as $2 Trillion during this same time. This change in lending limits could not have come at a better time for some Sacramento area seniors who may now be forced to find other ways to augment their incomes. And speaking of selling, HUD has announced that effective January 1, 2009, reverse mortgages can now be used for purchase transactions. Sacramento residents who wish to relocate for any reason can now utilize the reverse mortgage program to purchase a home with no monthly payments as well.
A reverse mortgage uses actuarial tables much the same as insurance products and borrowers receive more money the older they are. Therefore, a 62 year old borrower just meeting the age requirement will receive much less cash than a 78 year old borrower with the same $400,000 home. When borrowers do not take all their funds at the beginning of the loan and choose to use the line of credit option, the line of credit grows annually on the unused portion as the borrower would be eligible for a higher loan amount at the increased age. Some borrowers have asked whether or not they should wait for a few years to apply until they are older to take advantage of higher principal limits for older borrowers. Only you and your trusted financial advisors know your situation but there are other factors which go into the determination of how much money you will receive on a reverse mortgage which also include interest rates and property values.
If your property value declines, you may be eligible for less money. If the interest rates rise from their current near-historic low levels, then you may also be eligible for less money. The other factor that changes on which we have already seen several changes this year alone is the margin. The margin is added to the index to determine the final rate you pay and margins have risen this year as uncertainty has grown in the mortgage secondary market. When the margin rises, your ultimate rate increases and you will receive less money. With the purchase program coming out, HUD uses the appraised value to determine proceeds to the borrower. Senior Sacramento borrowers who are able to find homes which appraise for more than the sales price will be required to put even less money down on purchases under the HUD program!
The only constant is your age…you do know how old you are and you do know when your next birthday is. No one can predict the future with interest rates or property values. If the values rise considerably, you can refinance a reverse mortgage and the HUD insurance does not need to be paid a second time…you would just pay the difference, if any, from your old premium amount to the new premium based on any increase in the principal lending limit in your area. The Senior Specialists at All Reverse Mortgage Company are committed to helping you with answering all your questions and if the reverse mortgage is right for you, closing your loan quickly and easily. If it's time for you to put your equity in reverse so that you can keep your life moving forward, then we're here to help!

HUD Approved Direct Lender
All Reverse Mortgage, Inc. (ARLO™) is approved with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to originate, underwrite and close the HUD Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM, or "Heck-um"). The HECM is HUD's acronym for their reverse mortgage loan.
All Reverse Mortgage, Inc. (ARLO™) originates in Anaheim and closes both refinance loans, where borrowers already own their home and are looking to either pay off their existing loan and have no more monthly mortgage payment, utilize their equity for other purposes if they have no existing loan, or possibly a combination of both.
About All Reverse Mortgage®
The owners and management of All Reverse were part of the team that wrote and sold the first fixed rate jumbo reverse mortgage in 2008 and as such, have extensive experience in jumbo or proprietary loan programs as well. We are always looking for new products to offer to borrowers of high valued homes in the higher home priced markets that the HUD HECM may just not serve as well. Jumbo or proprietary programs typically offer much lower Principal Limits as they relate to values though so not all borrowers are better served with the jumbo programs.
Only a seasoned originator can readily inform borrowers which program will best suit their needs and the positives and negatives of each so that the borrower can make an informed decision. It is no longer uncommon anywhere in the country for a market to be a solid HUD HECM market and then within just a short distance for a niche jumbo market to be located where there is a need for a jumbo program.
Therefore, homeowners aged 62 and above in all markets have seen that the reverse mortgage can be a very solid financial tool and many are now seeking the reverse mortgage to augment their retirement plans and not so much as a mortgage of last resort. Everything from the elimination of the existing mortgage payments to the line of credit that grows that grows make reverse mortgage borrowers understand that this program allows them to utilize their homes to not only live comfortably in their family home, but to plan for the future as well.

Everybody knows alcohol is a depressant (if you didn't, you do now), but alcohol can also be a really rather enjoyable way to distract yourself from life's miseries and make you think that karaoke and texting an old hookup are both brilliant ideas.
The 'booze blues' are commonplace among most people who drink.
For the lucky few that haven't experienced them yet (I guess you're under 28?), the booze blues involve not just feeling hungover following your sesh, but also a feeling of deep, deep sadness, existential dread and a profound knowledge that your family is ashamed of you.
It's absolutely miserable, yet the joyous effects of drinking (at the time of drinking) are seemingly too good to let that bother us, so off we go to the pub again.
Now, when the booze blues extend into every waking sober moment of your life, drinking becomes a little trickier.
When you have depression or care about someone who has depression it can be a bloody minefield; you know they want to go to the pub, but you know they'll feel awful afterwards… but they're old enough to make their own decisions… but you want to look out for them… oops here come six tequilas to top off the warm can of Desperados you drank on the bus, nevermind.
Anyone with a qualification in psychology or medicine will (quite rightly) advise anyone struggling with mental health to keep away from the sauce.
I wang on about mental health all the time and am fully aware that I shouldn't really be drinking if I want to get better… but here I am writing this on the Eurostar with a plastic cup of red wine.
Philip Karahassan (who's a qualified psychotherapist with expertise in drugs and alcohol, so obviously knows some stuff) has some more realistic points of view if you're depressed, or are trying to do your best for a depressed pal: 'Alcohol works to distract us from our feelings – but it just delays them until the next day.
'Add to that the emotional state we feel when hungover, and it makes it all the more important to make sure that there is both an emotional and physical safety net around our depressed friend.
'On that note, make sure you check in the next day to see how your friend feels, as well as checking in over the coming week to see how they are getting on.'
I fully support this – yes, it's fairly normal to text your drinking buddy the next day to check in on their hangover levels and check you're not the only one who has the cold sweats and a pizza on the way, but if your mate is struggling then I'd say it's even more important.
When I'm in alcohol-induced turmoil and am feeling incredibly dark, a message from a friend who cares really can be a little light.
George, 25, has found that monitoring how his alcohol consumption impacts his mood has really helped him get to know his limits.
'Alcohol definitely has short-term benefits for mood-enhancement but these typically wear off after the first four or five drinks, for me at least,' he tells Metro.co.uk. 'Once the number of drinks consumed exceeds this number, the negatives greatly outweigh the positives but as most people know, it's tough to stop.
'For me personally, the next-day hangover doesn't give me huge lows so much as my mood gradually lowers as does my productivity and desire to be social.
'I think the drawbacks of getting hammered persist much longer than a day or two and likely go unnoticed.'
Drinking and being in the pub is a huge part of British social culture, and I agree it can be really difficult to ask for a soft drink instead of the G&T you think you want.
If you're friends with someone struggling, for the love of Rihanna please don't fire questions at them if they don't want to drink, or call them a loser or ask when they're going to be fun again.
'The only logical step for someone who feels pressured to drink by friends is to tell them you want to cut down,' says George. 'The open dialogue is important, and over the last few years I've noticed a huge surge in people generally talking about mental illness – the continuation of these conversations is vital.
'Alcohol consumption is one of many factors that should be considered when treating depression; exercise, levels of isolation, work-life balance, and medication are just a couple of the things that should also be considered. Booze isn't the devil in moderation.'
Ultimately, we are all in control of our own actions. Even if it feels like we're spiralling all the damn time, the only person who can really change a depressed person is that depressed person, so it's up to (the Collective Depressed) Us to take charge of how much alcohol we can or can't handle, and know our limits.
If your friends are going to judge or question someone for why they're not drinking alcohol, then they're not really your good friends, are they.
Preaching to a depressed mate that alcohol is going to make things worse is NOT going to help, but checking in with them really will.
Pretending their depression doesn't exist also won't ever help, but what will is acknowledging that their brain's on fire and alcohol is very f***ing flammable.
If you or a loved one is struggling with mental health, you can find a qualified local counsellor in your area with Counselling Directory . Mental health charity Mind also offer counselling services, and you can call The Samaritans on 116123 (UK and ROI). The NHS even have a little quiz you can take. If you can, visit your GP for further advice.

Civil War Series
The Battle of Wilson's Creek
As Plummer and Sigel struggled with respective elements of the southern army, Lyon raced to consolidate his forces on the crest of Bloody Hill and move forward to a position from which he could assault Price and McCulloch's main encampments. Totten's Battery continued to duel with Woodruff's Pulaski Arkansas Battery, while Lyon kept the Second Kansas, under Colonel Robert Mitchell, in reserve.
At the base of the hill to the south, Price also struggled to bring the infantry and artillery of the Missouri State Guard into line of battle. The inexperience of the troops in the face of an unexpected attack made for a difficult process, but Price managed to get nearly two thousand men into line by the time Lyon's federals renewed their attack. The advance was uncoordinated, without designated leadership, and as the troops advanced over the various spurs that constituted the hill, the units became separated by tree-filled ravines, causing them to lose contact. Once in line of battle, Lyon's men moved to the edge of the hill's southern slope and engaged Price's line.
Unlike later and larger battles in the war, the fighting on Bloody Hill was often sporadic, even episodic, and inevitably close, with the lines separated at most by one hundred yards and more often by as few as twenty yards. With only twenty-five rounds per man on average, the southern troops waited until they were near the enemy, then fired in bursts, with frequent lulls in between. As one Kansan recalled simply, "The lines were within shotgun range." Moreover, inexperienced Missouri officers instructed their equally green troops to take careful aim before firing, allowing for few full volleys as the morning wore on. Yet the constant barrage of artillery created an illusion of nearly uninterrupted fire. The artillery duel between Totten and Woodruff, while inflicting few casualties, accomplished more than mere noise; it fixed the federals in position. Lyon used Totten's guns as the anchor upon which he formed his battle line on Bloody Hill. The situation worked to the southerners' advantage; because the hill was very broad, the federals could not see its base from the crest. Lyon's deployment near the top of the hill rather than further down the slopes left a wide blind spot that provided protection for the Missouri State Guard units as they gradually formed into battle lines.
As the federal line advanced past Totten's position, he left the artillery duel to Du Bois and reoriented his fire to support the infantry's advance down the south slope of Bloody Hill. Price's growing battle line was now reinforced by the battery of Captain Henry Guibor's Missouri Light Artillery, which deployed in a position left of the center of Price's line. Its fire, as well as the advance around the federal right flank by General James H. McBride's State Guard division, soon forced the First Missouri back toward the crest. McBride's action signaled the turning point in the fight for Bloody Hill. Up to this point, Lyon had been on the offensive, For the remainder of the battle the federals would be on the defensive as the southern forces mounted growing attacks against them.
McBride's unordered movement initiated a general southern attack, and the State Guard divisions to his right, under Generals Mosby M. Parsons and John B. Clark, moved forward en echelon to support McBride, pushing slowly up the slope through the underbrush. Because the units advanced at different speeds according to the terrain, their discipline, and the resistance they encountered, any coordination that may have existed at the beginning of the assault soon broke down. Sharp fighting ensued between the Missourians on both sides and the Kansans on the hill, with the lack of distinctive uniforms, flags, and even uniform color causing confusion, as it had fatally for Sigel. On one occasion, two enemy units aligned in the same battle line and marched together before realizing the mistake. By 7:30 A.M., when the southern line overlapped the federal right flank, forcing them to retreat, Lyon's federals were essentially back where they had started. The federal commander's battle line formed an arc from left to right consisting of Du Bois's Battery, the First Kansas, two sections (four guns) of Totten's Battery, the First Missouri, and the remaining section of Totten's Battery. The Second Kansas remained in reserve.
The advancing southern line, with swelling ranks, forced Lyon to make a desperate move. After ordering the Second Kansas to the front, he commanded Deitzler's First Kansas to fix bayonets and charge. Confusion over the order caused fewer than two hundred men actually to make the risky movement, during which Deitzler was wounded and carried off the field, but it caught the southerners by surprise and the units facing the Kansans fell back several hundred yards. The noise, smoke, and underbrush prevented the now exposed southern troops to their right and left from noticing the Kansans. Lyon quickly ordered them back to the crest, where the six hundred men of the Second Kansas joined the right flank of Lyon's line and opened fire, many with "buck and ball," a cartridge containing one large musket ball and three buckshot. It gave the Kansans devastating firepower and together, the First and Second Kansans halted the uncoordinated southern assault, producing a lull as Price realigned his troops at the base of Bloody Hill. It was somewhat past 8 A.M.

China's Huishan Dairy Co. (HKG: 6863) took a note from Sears' handbook on insider buying - and failed miserably.
Shares of the Chinese stock sank by a record 85% in Hong Kong on Friday in one of the city's biggest sell-offs, wiping billions from its market value. Before the crash, the firm had a market capitalization of $4.85 billion; now it's worth only $750 million.
The stock's collapse is a huge blow to the Red Dragon, as Huishan is the country's largest dairy farmer and has over 78 farms spread across Greater China. Before Friday's plunge, Huishan had been one of the most stable stocks in Hong Kong.
The stock stopped trading at HK$0.42, or US$0.05, after which Huishan shares were suspended by Hong Kong's exchange.
While it's not yet clear what caused the collapse, experts suspect the dairy company's leader, Yang Kai, is to blame...
You see, Huishan stock has more than doubled in the past year, while a gauge of Hong Kong-listed Chinese stocks has fallen 35%. However, the Chinese dairy company didn't actually make more money, but relied on one support for its stock price - insider buying from Kai.
Usually, insider buying -- the purchase of shares of stock in a corporation by someone who is employed by the company - is a good sign of company growth. "Insiders buy because they believe their company's stock price is headed for hefty gains," according to Money Morning Executive Editor Bill Patalon.
However, this case was different...

Listening to sad songs when feeling gloomy can actually make you feel better, finds a new research, claiming that they are more effective than happy tracks when dealing with grief.
Researchers looked at the listening habits of around 450 people going through a range of emotions and circumstances.
The results showed that while many people enjoyed happy music more, it was the sadder, more emotional tracks which they turned to at times of crisis.
"Sadness often involves emotional loss, which is not a problem which can be solved or reversed," said Annemieke Van den Tol from De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) in the UK.
"The only real way to move on and feel better is by accepting the situation and we found that people were able to do this by listening to sad music, but not so much by listening to happy music," said Van den Tol.
"When we asked people about their sad music choices, participants were allowed to respond with regards to any sad songs or piece of music they believed to sound sad," she said.

In one study, listeners to a popular Dutch radio station were asked to fill in an online questionnaire which listed a set of statements, with participants scoring each from one to five based on how true it was for them.
The second study looked at why people chose to listen to sad music when feeling sad in the first place, with people being asked to recall such an occasion and show agreement with a string of reasons.
Far more people agreed with the assertion that they listened to sad music for consolation than happy music and that they did so to find consolation when negative feeling were 'overwhelming', researchers said.
For many, sad music helped listeners cope with a negative situation, helped them cry and deal with grief. The data showed that this emotional involvement with the sad music helped listeners to cope with and accept feelings of loss.

However, happy music was not linked to dealing with grief in any of these ways, researchers said.
"Ultimately, this study shows that even though many people prefer listening to happy music in general, they find sad music helps them deal with sadness more often," said Van den Tol.
"By connection to the sad emotions in the music, they are able to turn negative emotions into something more peaceful, allowing them to move on and accept these," she said.
