To Lose Weight It's More Than Calorie Calculation
Today's question really needed it's own space because thinking counting all your calories will help you lose weight is a big mistake. Calorie calculation may work in the beginning if someone is sedentary or extremely overweight, but it won't work in the long run and it doesn't help people learn how to lose weight. To really lose weight it's important to pay attention to more than just the calorie calculation and here's why.
Lose Weight Recap
First though, just a quick recap in case you are just joining me with this blog.
In the first blog I started answering weight loss questions and giving tips on how to lose weight because I was really close to wrapping up the long-awaited Eat Right for Life Plan.
I released the program today. Easy, permanent weight loss without pills, boxed foods, nasty shakes, expensive supplements is finally here. You'll learn how to lose weight by finding the right foods for you and using great weight loss tips.
But before I finalized everything, I wanted to make sure I have covered everything. So, I asked people to take a few minutes to let me know what their top two questions about how to lose weight were that I absolutely needed to answer in the Eat Right for Life Plan.
The response was been amazing and I'm still trying to get all of the questions answered. Thank you so much for helping me out so I can help others learn how to lose weight. The Eat Right for Life Plan is improving every single day thanks to your responses.
I started adding a question and answer every day to the previous post but people sent me notes saying they'd like to quickly see all the how to lose weight questions as I'm answering them / i.e. titles. So, if the answer is long enough, like today's, I'll make a new post every day. Hopefully you'll continue to learn more about easy, sustainable, permanent weight loss. Lots of great information on how to lose weight.

Weight Loss Question Answered:
Actual amount of calories need to consume to loses weight
Calorie Calculation ANSWER:
This probably seems like a simple question but it's actually quite complicated. First, it depends on your current weight. You can decrease calories to lose weight, no doubt. Second, it depends on your activity level. You can increase your activity to lose weight. Third, it depends on the type of calories. Not all calories are created equal. There is a big difference between 100 calories of broccoli and a 100 calorie "snack pack".
Using this example, broccoli is among the vegetables that contain the largest concentrations of sulfur compounds which increase the liver's ability to produce enzymes that neutralize potentially toxic substances. Most snack packs contains hydrogenated oils that ARE toxic substances! Broccoli is rich in vitamins A & C as well as powerful phytonutrient antioxidants to protect us from damage caused by free radicals. Most snack packs contain partially hydrogenated oils that create free radicals. Let's not forget they also contain sugar, high fructose corn syrup, genetically engineered soybean oil, regular corn syrup and flavorings.
Each of these foods are just 100 calories but the bio-chemical reaction in your body certainly isn't going to be the same for this same calorie count.
That 100 calorie snack pack is equivalent to about 1/8 of a cup or about two tablespoons. 100 calories of broccoli is equivalent to about 2 ¼ cups. With the real, whole food you have 2 ¼ cups of food to help fill you up instead of just two tablespoons of a food-type product / all for the same 100 calories.
I've never heard of anyone sitting down and eating an entire day's worth of calories when it comes to real foods, but I've certainly heard it (too often) from people who sit down to the processed foods / it's really easy to over consume then.
Weight loss just isn't as simplistic as counting calories. Heck, if it was, every busy woman I know would be at her ideal weight and fitting into her favorite pair of skinny jeans. But it doesn't work that way, too many busy women are is counting every calorie only to feel exhausted, overweight, and frustrated.
Rather than worry about counting calories I recommend learning your best foods and focusing on consuming them. When we eat real food that is in harmony with our body we don't have to worry about the calories.

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
Located within the west of Inverness itself, the hill of Craig Phadrig is visible from much of the city, and the views across the Beauly Firth are outstanding. A car park is situated on the side of the hill and, once there, your choice of route is varied, with several different paths weaving in and out of the trees. At the top you are met with a large grassy area that was once an Iron Age hillfort, built 2500 years ago. The earthworks are all that remain visible now, but serve as a reminder that people have enjoyed this view for millennia.
The banks of the river Ness provide excellent walks, but head upriver a short way to combine them with a visit to the Ness Islands and you will quickly forget you are in the capital of the Highlands. These wooded islands are connected by suspension foot bridges, constructed in the mid 19th century, and are havens of wildlife and nature. It is possible to see deer, otters, salmon, seals and bats, or take a ride on the Ness Islands miniature railway. There are plenty of park benches and places to pause, whether to share a picnic or simply absorb the natural beauty. The islands are also a part of the Great Glen Way, so if you'd like to extend your walk — by five or six days — just follow the signs!
Also a part of the Great Glen Way, the path following the River Ness and the Caledonian Canal can easily be broken into shorter sections. As it follows the waterways, it is low-level and flat, with very little in the way of obstacles. By simply following the canal tow-path, it is also very difficult to get lost, and the path is worth exploring in both directions; towards Loch Ness, or towards the sea and Merkinch Nature Reserve. If driving, park at Whin Park and follow the Great Glen Way signs. Expect to see many water birds and other wildlife, and friendly waves from those on the water itself, travelling slowly between Inverness and Fort William, all the way at the other end of Loch Ness and the canal.
Cross the Kessock bridge to the Black Isle and head east to the delightful village of Rosemarkie. This walk follows the Rosemarkie Burn as it tumbles through beautiful woodland, now a nature reserve. There is a millpond that dates back at least a century and two photogenic waterfalls along the route. In spring, the ground is covered in wild flowers, including primrose and bluebell, and dippers can be seen collecting insects from underwater. Children used to decorate the pool with flowers, in order to keep the stream running clear and pure. You can also combine this walk with a visit to the nearby Clootie Well at Munlochy or a spot of beach-combing along one of the lovely beaches in the area.
Another beautiful woodland walk, Rogie Falls is also one of the best places in Scotland to see leaping salmon. The Black Water river thunders downstream from the high places around the imposing peak of Ben Wyvis, and is especially impressive after heavy rain, or when the winter snows are melting. The best time to see the salmon is between June and September as they swim upstream to spawn, with the end of summer seeing the most action. A recently constructed suspension bridge offers an excellent viewing platform.
Head a few miles to the east of Inverness and you quickly reach the ancient seaside village of Nairn, with its sandy beaches and excellent local places to eat. The River Nairn flows to the Moray Firth from the Monadhliath Mountains and is definitely worth exploring. Simply follow the path, on the left hand side of the river as you head inland, and keep walking. A popular salmon fishing river, if you continue for five miles you reach the pretty village of Cawdor, and its famous castle.
Also east of Inverness, this walk is easily accessible by bus or car, and affords spectacular views over the city and to the mountains beyond. The woods are an excellent place to spot playful red squirrels, shy deer, and other wildlife. There are several paths to explore, but do ensure you head to the western fringe of the woods for the outstanding view. To the east, the view is also worth a look, with the River Nairn twisting away to the moors of Culloden, and the pretty little church of Daviot itself.

Missoula Fire Danger Increases, But Not as Fast as Last Year
Fire danger in Missoula jumped up to moderate this week, June 13.
According to Chris Johnson from the Missoula county fire protection association, recent rains have helped lead to a slower fire season than last year.
"We've had a lot of precipitation this year, 2016, more normal levels of precipitation, more normal levels of precipitation than we've had in the past two years," Johnson said. "At this time last year, we were already approaching high fire danger."
The fire protection association voted to increase the fire danger level to moderate after two fires this past week.
"The two fires that we had last week, one on the Lolo and one on the Bitterroot that actually moved out and made a pretty good push in the woods to three acres. Kind of prompted us to say, look the energy release components have us in moderate, we had a couple fires that got a little big on us even with initial attack within just a few hours, let's make a move to moderate to let folks know."
Johnson says burning is still allowed and there are no major limitations with the increased fire danger level. He says he expects the fire danger will likely increase to high sometime in the next two weeks.

Fellowships for African women scientists a big hit
September 12, 2011 Editor 0
Source: SciDev
Maina Waruru
[NAIROBI] The African Women in Agricultural Research and Development (AWARD) fellowship programme has been inundated with applicants.
Since 2008, around 2,200 women have applied for only 250 available fellowships. This year there were 785 applicants from 11 African countries — more than 10 times of available fellowships.
Vicki Wilde, director of the gender and diversity programme at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), which runs AWARD, said the fellowship had been remarkably successful over the past four years.
"Our wish is to double, or more than double, the number of women scientists benefiting from the programme over the next five years," Wilde told SciDev.Net at the AWARD fellowship ceremony last month (18 August).
The scheme, which imparts leadership, science, networking and partnership skills to women scientists working in agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa, has already mentored 180 women, and a further 70 women were awarded the two-year career-development fellowships in August.
AWARD fellows are involved in research in 16 fields of agricultural research and development.
"The impacts of AWARD are real and in the preliminary evaluation results of our 2008 AWARD fellows — the first to complete our two-year programme — there is concrete evidence that 69 per cent of our fellows have strengthened science skills," Wilde said.
"A total of 74 per cent of AWARD fellows demonstrate increased confidence and assertiveness, and a greater desire to lead and guide others. In other words, AWARD is fostering a cadre of women scientists ready to play an influential role in African agriculture and development," she added.
AWARD pairs each fellow with a senior scientist; around half of the mentors are men.
"We've realised yet again how important, and how profitable, it is to engage men to collaborate with women if we are to improve food security and alleviate poverty. And we know from experience that it works," said Wilde.
AWARD will in future put more emphasis on working with research and academic institutions to help fellows build their capacity for gender-responsive research, in turn, it is hoped, strengthening the capacity of their institutions.
Isibhakhomen Shirley Ejoh from Nigeria, one of this year's winners, hopes the skills she gains though AWARD will help her advance her research on underused traditional vegetables.
"The food basket in Nigeria is shrinking because of an over-dependence on a few promoted crops. I want to assess how indigenous plant foods can contribute to the protein and macro-nutrient intake of children and women of reproductive age," she said.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has funded the programme since its inception, with additional support from the US Agency for International Development (USAID).

According to the Icelandic Labour Force Survey, the average number of persons in the labour force was 212,900 in the 2nd quarter of 2019, or 82.9% of the population. Of these, 9,400 persons were unemployed, or 4.4%. At the same time, about 6,200 jobs were available on the Icelandic labor market, according to Statistics Iceland's job registration, or about 2.7% of jobs, according to previously published figures. The number of unemployed people are therefore 1.5 as many as the number of vacant job positions in the 2nd quarter compared to twice as many in the 1st quarter of 2019. The number of employed persons in the 2nd quarter was 203,500, or 79.2% of the population.
Unemployment increased by 0.9 percentage points from the 2nd quarter of 2018 and the employment rate decreased by 0.8 percentage points.
About 44,000 persons were considered inactive in the first quarter of 2019. The majority of people in this group, or 13,700 persons (31.5%), defined themselves as retired. The second largest group define themselves as disabled about 9,800 persons or 22.2% of all inactive.
Hours worked weekly
In the 2nd quarter of 2019, 184,500 persons aged 16-74 were at work on average during the reference week and the average total number of hours worked per week was 39.7 hours. However, those who worked full-time worked considerably more or 43 hours on average during the reference week, while the average number of working hours for persons working part-time was about 25.9 hours.

Patients undergoing elective inpatient surgery for four common elective procedures (hip and knee replacement, varicose vein surgery and groin hernia surgery) funded by the English NHS are asked to complete questionnaires before and after their operations to assess improvement in health as perceived by the patients themselves.
Extended analyses of the latest finalised data are published three times a year as 'special topics'. The latest, Quality of Life Dimensions, was published on 14 May 2015.
Update 25/08/2015:
The CCG level analysis has been updated since initial publication to correct for revised organisational boundaries. This primarily affects Newcastle and Gateshead CCG, which was missing from the originally published data, although the data for approximately 15% of other CCGs have also changed slightly due to some GP practices mapping to different organisations. National and provider level data remain are unaffected.

Swedish grim black metal force RIMFROST is returning with a wondrous, closer to 11 minute long single, a year and half after the release of their successful self-titled third full length. The single will be dropped under the banner of Non Serviam Records. Exclusive stream from Denmark via 'Power of Metal.dk'.
"A Clash Under The Northern Wind" is the new single of Rimfrost, which will be featured on the upcoming album. The closer to eleven minutes long epic track is a taste of what will dawn on everyone after the band's latest release, "Rimfrost", 2016 via Non Serviam Records. The album is dedicated to the Swedish county Värmland, and in particular the band's hometown Hagfors, where the band was formed, and the founding members grew up. It is a celebration to the history and the dark mystic forces embracing the nature and its own being.
Sit back and enjoy the brute force and a journey into the unknown, and let "A Clash Under The Northern Wind" leave you thirsty for more.
The single will be dropped under the banner of Non Serviam Records through all major digital distributions, and it will be available for purchasing/streaming on the label's Bandcamp page.

Jeep Scrambler truck to debut at L.A. Auto Show next month
Jeep is planning to premiere a pickup truck at the Los Angeles Auto Show next month. We all know what that means: It's Scrambler time, folks. This news comes courtesy of a press release talking about the show in general. It casually mentions that "a pickup truck from Jeep" is coming. Up until now, we weren't sure when the Wrangler-based pickup would make its debut, but that's not a problem anymore. There sure aren't any other pickups from Jeep in the works we know about.
The release details a few other debuts happening at L.A. as well. Audi confirmed we'll be seeing the E-Tron GT four-door concept. Mitsubishi is planning to show off a new concept car — it better not be an SUV with any Evo references. Hyundai is debuting an "all new" vehicle, and Kia is apparently planning on multiple new vehicle debuts.
All of that is great, but the biggest splash is almost guaranteed to be the highly anticipated Scrambler. Everything is still speculation, but we're expecting the Jeep truck to offer both the Wrangler V6 and turbo four-cylinder powertrains at launch. We anticipate a diesel showing up at some point down the road, but almost certainly not at this auto show.
L.A. mostly plays host to a whole lot of mobility pod news, but there are always a few big reveals like this one. Porsche fans will be able to see the 992-generation 911 on the show floor that we've already seen about 10 times over in spy photos too.

History of the Mississippi Business Journal
The Mississippi Business Journal has operated under six ownership alignments since it was founded in 1978.
Joe Dove, onetime business editor of the Clarion-Ledger, started the weekly statewide business publication in 1978, publishing the first issue of the Journal in 1979.
He led the newspaper until 1984 when he sold it to Richard Roper, head of Downhome Publications and publisher of Mississippi Magazine. Two years later, Roper sold the publication to Rosa Lee Harden Jones, who along with her husband Kevin, managed the paper for nearly a decade.
Longtime CPA Joe Jones, no relation to Rosa Lee and Kevin, became publisher in 1995, heading an ownership team that also included Rosa Lee Jones and editor Buddy Bynum.
The Dolan Company, based in Minneapolis, purchased the paper in March 2007 as part of its New Orleans Publishing Group (NOPG).
On Aug. 21, 2012, Tupelo-based Journal Inc. acquired the assets of the Mississippi Business Journal from The Dolan Company.
The Mississippi Business Journal moved from its Galaxie Drive location in March 2009 to downtown Jackson on North Congress Street. It's current location is in Flowood at 132 Riverview Dr., Suite E.
It produces a daily web-site, a bi-weekly newspaper, the Book of Lists, NEXT! A Guide to Life After High School and hosts events honoring the 50 Leading Businesswomen in Mississippi, the Top 40 (people) Under (age) 40, the Best Places to Work in Mississippi, the Leaders in Law, the CEO Awards, the Healthiest Workplaces, the Top in Tech, the Leaders in Finance and the Healthcare Heroes.

Ghulam, Murshid and Mohd Shariff, Azmi and Lau, K.K. and Bustam, Mohamad Azmi and Ahmad, Faizan (2011) Evaluation of Physical Properties of Piperazine (PZ), PZ Activated Aqueous 2-Amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP + PZ) for CO2 Removal from Hydrocarbon Streams. [Citation Index Journal]

In the awake of global response for the protection of environment and sustainable development, the removal, disposal and useful utilization of CO2 evolved from different sources is becoming a challenge with time. The coming years should find the carbon dioxide (CO2) use in ever increasing number of applications (e.g. EOR). The major sources of CO2 emission include the burning of fossil fuel, coal fired power plants, oil refining, hydrogen production, several industrial processes and sweetening of natural gas. There is a need of developing new design and solvents for CO2 removal. In this paper physical properties, important in design the acid gas contactor for new potential solvent are experimentally measured. The physical properties such as density (ρ), viscosity (η) and co-efficient of thermal expansion (α) of aqueous solutions of Piperazine (PZ) and (AMP + PZ) were experimentally measured for a wide range of temperature (298.15 to 33.15) K. The mass fractions of PZ were varied from (1.74 to 10.35) wt%. The concentrations for aqueous solutions of (AMP+PZ) were kept higher due to the growing interest in use of concentrated amines in gas processing. The mass fractions of (AMP + PZ) were varied from (28.26/1.74, 26.55/3.45, 23.12/6.88 to 19.65/10.35) %. All the properties were correlated as a function of temperature. The measured and correlated values are found to be in good agreement. All measured physical properties have shown the decreasing effect while increasing the temperature.

Lee has taken over from David Barnbrook who assumed the role of Acting Managing Director of Quorum Technologies in April 2011 and has now returned full-time to his duties at Judges Scientific. Lee will also continue as Managing Director of our sister company UHV Design, with both companies now sharing new factory and offices at Laughton, but operating as separate companies within the Judges Scientific group. He has a strong technical (vacuum) and commercial background having worked for the Kurt J Lesker Company before joining UHV Design in 1999 as the company's Sales Manager. In 2007 following the company's acquisition by Judges Scientific plc, he was promoted to Managing Director. UHV Design has made substantial progress under his leadership, with a fourfold increase in sales coupled with a significantly enhanced presence within the UHV marketplace, leading to the company being awarded the Queen's Award for International Trade. During this time Quorum Technologies has also developed and grown significantly, with the successful introduction of the market-leading Q Series of coaters and PP3010T cryo preparation system. Lee said: "Quorum Technologies provides next-generation sample preparation systems for electron microscopy. It utilises advanced design and modern manufacturing techniques to maximise performance, ease of use and reliability. Situated in a new, high-tech facility, complete with ISO 7 clean rooms, its professional, customer-focussed team of scientists and engineers are dedicated to the continued development of innovative, world-leading products. I am truly thrilled to be joining such a successful company, for which the future is bright."

Christmas Wish LetterStatements By Members
2 p.m.
Brian Jean Conservative Fort McMurray—Athabasca, AB
Mr. Speaker, with 12 days until Christmas, the little elves from northern Alberta have compiled a wish letter for their oh so nice, brand new Santa. It goes as follows:
"Dear Saint Stelmach:
"We have worked ever so hard over the past year, so please be jolly and not kingly and send us the following soon:
"On the first day of Christmas of this year, more land for houses; on the second day, two new recreation centres; on the third day, three new water treatment plants; on the fourth day, four new senior residences; on the fifth day, five new public schools; on the sixth day, 20 new doctors; on the seventh day, 25 new police officers; on the eighth day, 3,000 new homes; on the ninth day, new roads and bridges; and, on the tenth day of this year, a bigger airport.
"By the 11th day of 2010, we will need 18,000 new homes, and by the 12th day of 2010, we will need 100,000 new workers.
"Santa, if we are brought all these things, then northern Alberta will be equal and as happy as the rest of Canada.
"Thank you and Merry Christmas".
Aboriginal AffairsStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Nancy Karetak-Lindell Liberal Nunavut, NU
Mr. Speaker, as members know, December 10 was International Human Rights Day. The Prime Minister issued a statement to mark the occasion in which he is quoted as saying:
Canada...will continue to stand up for human rights and take principled positions on important issues to ensure that freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law--values that define our country--are enjoyed around the world.
Canada is not standing up for the human rights of the aboriginal peoples of Canada when it votes against the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Canada has human rights to stand up for within our own borders, as well as around the world.
RepentignyStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Raymond Gravel Bloc Repentigny, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have the opportunity to thank voters in the riding of Repentigny for placing their trust in me during the election on November 27. I am also grateful to the team of volunteers who did such a good job of guiding and reassuring me during my first election campaign.
I would also like to thank all of my Bloc Québécois colleagues who, despite their busy schedules, found time to support me in the riding.
I am very proud to be part of the Bloc Québécois team and I would like my colleagues to know that I support them. My door is always open.
Above all, I would not want to forget my bishop, the bishop of Joliette, who made it possible for me to experience life in politics. A very special thank you to Msgr. Gilles Lussier.
In closing, I would like to tell my constituents what I used to tell everyone during the election campaign: You are a great bunch of people.
Status of WomenStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Irene Mathyssen NDP London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, women in Canada are concentrated in low wage and part time jobs. They make only 71¢ for every dollar men make.
Women make up only 20.8% of this House of Commons and, shamefully, one in five Canadian women live in poverty.
On Sunday, in every province and every territory across the country, women told the Conservative government that enough was enough. Women are not happy with the government's slash and burn tactics on the mandate and funding for Status of Women. Women are not happy with the last 13 years of broken promises from the Liberals. The so-called Liberal pink book is a testament to what the Liberals never did.
Women in this country deserve equality, child care, affordable housing and they deserve equal pay. Both the Conservatives and the Liberals have refused to address these issues, leaving women still fighting for equality in 2006.
The entire NDP caucus stands behind the call to reverse policy decisions made by the Conservative government that effectively work against women's rights.

Biosphere ReservesStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
James Lunney Conservative Nanaimo—Alberni, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canada is home to 13 UNESCO designated biosphere reserves. Whether it is the Niagara Escarpment in Ontario, Mont Saint-Hilaire in Quebec, Riding Mountain in Manitoba, Clayoquot Sound or Mount Arrowsmith biosphere reserve in my own riding of Nanaimo—Alberni, these areas have some of our most treasured, ecologically diverse assets.
The Canadian Biosphere Reserves Association has done an excellent job of bringing the reserve volunteers together to share expertise and to develop models of sustainable human activity in and around sensitive and valued ecosystems.
The excellent work done by Canadian volunteers has been recognized around the world. However, many of the volunteers are at risk of burning out. It is time for the government to provide a measure of support.
This week I introduced Motion No. 263, a motion that calls on our government to provide a base level of funding for each reserve, to establish an office, to hire an officer to coordinate the efforts of volunteers and to promote the objectives of the biosphere reserve.
Motion No. 263 is intended to capitalize on a Canadian success story and to help our hard-working volunteers to provide public information and to increase appreciation of our most ecologically treasured assets.
Genocide ConventionStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Irwin Cotler Liberal Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is shocking almost beyond words that we face two genocidal threats in our day.
The first is Ahmadinejad's Iran, which denies the Nazi Holocaust as it incites to a new one in its public call for the annihilation of Israel.
The second is the accelerated genocide in Darfur, where over 400,000 have died, where four million are on a desperate life support system and where mass atrocity, rape, the bombing and burning of villages and forced expulsion are regular rituals.
Words and resolutions are important, but what is so necessary now is action and the political will to enforce the genocide convention and the responsibility to protect obligation. Canada, in concert with the international community, must act and act now.
City of SudburyStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Guy Lauzon Conservative Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry, ON
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Minister for la Francophonie and Official Languages, I am pleased to congratulate the new mayor of the City of Greater Sudbury, John Rodriguez, on having raised the Franco-Ontarian flag at city hall when he took office on December 1. I lived in Sudbury for 14 years.
This is a very important symbolic gesture for the Franco-Ontarian community. This gesture of openness shows that the City of Greater Sudbury's new municipal administration intends to build a positive relationship with its francophone community.
The City deserves to be congratulated on this proactive measure recognizing the French-speaking community of Greater Sudbury. This is a proud moment for all Ontario francophones.
Abdel Kader BélaouniStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Thierry St-Cyr Bloc Jeanne-Le Ber, QC
Mr. Speaker, Abdel Kader Bélaouni is an Algerian citizen who, since January 2006, has been living in the basement of St. Gabriel church in Pointe-Sainte-Charles, where he took refuge. The Government of Canada remains unmoved by his plight and has continued to threaten him with deportation since his refugee claim was denied.
To send him back to his country of origin, where he has not lived for 10 years, is unacceptable, because he has found a helping community here. Today, with the support of the community I represent, I am asking that his situation be regularized and that he be allowed to leave his sanctuary and contribute fully to our society.
The officials of the church that is sheltering him saw fit to give him sanctuary because they believe that there are valid humanitarian reasons for keeping Mr. Bélaouni in Canada and that he can become a citizen and contribute to his host community. This government, on the other hand, has just one goal: to send Mr. Bélaouni back to his country.
I invite the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration to regularize Abdel Kader Bélaouni's situation on compassionate grounds.
Marathon of HopeStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Christian Paradis Conservative Mégantic—L'Érable, QC
Mr. Speaker, the 16th Marathon of Hope took place on Saturday, December 9, at the Polyvalente La Samarre in Plessisville, a vibrant city in my riding, Mégantic—L'Érable.
The general manager of the Plessisville Coop store, Suzanne Corriveau, acted as honorary chair of the event. As you know, the Marathon of Hope is becoming the annual event in Plessisville where we celebrate the family values we hold dear.
The marathon raised more than $88,000, $28,000 more than the initial target and a record for our region. This is proof that the entire population of the region of L'Érable took part in this major event. The money raised will go to the Oeuvre du partage, an organization that helps people who are in need because of temporary financial problems, job loss or illness.
As the member for Mégantic—L'Érable, I am proud of how the entire population gave generously to the Marathon of Hope.
I believe in and I take part in the Marathon of Hope.
The EnvironmentStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jean-Claude D'Amours Liberal Madawaska—Restigouche, NB
Mr. Speaker, this Conservative government is trying desperately to rip apart the just society that Canadians have been creating for themselves over the past few decades.
Because the government is bound by an ideological straitjacket, it is doing everything all wrong. The global warming file is a striking example. The government reneged on the commitment made by Canada by renouncing the Kyoto protocol.
The Minister of the Environment continues to contradict herself. One day she says no to the purchase of greenhouse gas emissions credits, the next day she says yes, only to turn around and say no again the day after that. One day, she asserts that Canada paid its full contribution to the fight against global warming, then is contradicted by one of her senior officials. She then stubbornly persists, only to be immediately contradicted by official UN documents posted on the Internet.
Meanwhile, the international community is losing faith in the commitment of Canadians, which is not what Canadians want.
Birthday CongratulationsStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jim Abbott Conservative Kootenay—Columbia, BC
Mr. Speaker, December 19 marks the 90th birthday of a great Canadian whose contributions to the arts, Canadian military history and Canadian diplomacy will long be remembered by future generations.
Hamilton Southam was the founder and first director general of the National Arts Centre. Built in Canada's centennial year, Mr. Southam was on hand to witness its glittering opening night in 1969.
Mr. Southam is also a World War II veteran, serving in both the British Canadian Army and the Canadian Army. It was his determination that helped in the creation of a memorial honouring 14 valiant men and women.
Mr. Southam, as president of the Valiants Foundation, sought to recognize the contribution of our wartime heroes who gave outstanding wartime service to Canada during the last four centuries.
Unveiled in November of this year, the Valiants Memorial is another example of this remarkable man's contribution to Canadian military history.
A true renaissance man, we salute Mr. Southam on this happy occasion.
HIV-AIDSStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Peggy Nash NDP Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, I want to give thanks today to Stephen Lewis, a passionate voice for social justice, whether as Ontario leader of the NDP, at UNICEF, or, for the last five years, as the UN envoy for HIV-AIDS.
Lewis has focused the world's attention on this terrible pandemic and has especially decried the disproportionate impact on women. Last year alone, almost three million people died of AIDS, four million were newly infected with HIV, and millions of children are now orphaned.
The inaction of wealthy countries and the pharmaceutical companies is unspeakable. However, Lewis called the plan to create a new international agency for women "an unparalleled step forward in the march against the pandemic".
Stephen Lewis has been awarded the Order of Canada, 22 honorary degrees and the respect and admiration of millions around the world.
With his UN posting coming to an end, we pay tribute to Stephen Lewis for his courage, his tireless work and for inspiring so many people to act to end a pandemic.
Government PoliciesStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Michael Savage Liberal Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, NS
Mr. Speaker, with $7.3 billion in stealth neo-conservative cuts uncovered yesterday, more proof is surfacing that the government is hell bent on dismantling Canada's just society.
Let us check out those cuts: $2.1 billion from improved student financial assistance; $550 million from students with permanent disabilities and students from low income families; $550 million from EnerGuide for low income households. All this is being done with an inherited $13 billion surplus and the best economy in our history.
That is just a start. Clearly the only minority that Conservatives care about is their miserable minority government. When will Conservatives stop dropping the hammer on vulnerable Canadians and start governing for all Canadians, especially those who could use a hand up?
Christmas might be a nice time for Canada's new heartless government to at least start thinking about those in need.
Holocaust Conference in IranStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Caroline St-Hilaire Bloc Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, QC
Mr. Speaker, Europe still bears the scars of the Holocaust, the Shoah. The ruins of the former concentration camps are maintained to remind us of the deaths of 6 million Jews. They were exterminated in these camps, although their only crime was living. The moral conscience of humanity demands that we never forget.
However, a conference in Tehran is questioning the existence of the Holocaust. Despite documented testimony from survivors and executioners, and despite the photographs and film footage that capture the horrors that took place in those camps, some people still cast doubt on the incontrovertible evidence. Our fear is that this conference serves only to encourage one country's aggressive interests.
The Bloc Québécois joins Germany, Great Britain, the European Union and the United States in condemning, in the strongest words possible, the political takeover of the conference and the denial of this dark period in the history of humanity.
Quebec BridgeStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Marlene Jennings Liberal Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, this government has got everything wrong. That is particularly true for the Minister of Transport.
Last December 19, in a speech given in Quebec City, the Prime Minister said, and I quote, "It's not surprising when the Minister of Transport cannot even have a bridge painted".
Now, almost a year later, the current Conservative minister has had the brush in his hand for a year but seems to have forgotten to dip it into the paint, unless he has secretly decided to go with rust-coloured polka dots.
VolunteerismStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Helena Guergis Conservative Simcoe—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to speak about a brave little girl, Melissa Lilly, from my hometown of Angus in my riding of Simcoe—Grey. Tragically, this sweet nine year old has brain cancer, and my community has come together to help the family through this difficult time, particularly with the help of one of our town councillors, Sandie Macdonald.
The community raised over $25,000 in a walkathon that took place on November 16. The money will help Melissa's mother Carolyn stay in Toronto, where Melissa has up to seven months of treatment left.
I would like to commend the thoughtful efforts and hard work of the community and congratulate all those who have taken part in the fundraising, particularly the children from Angus Pine River Elementary School.
I am proud to represent the people of Angus, who have tried to give the Lilly family some normality through this difficult time.
I would like Melissa and her family to know that my thoughts and prayers and those of the entire community will be with them over Christmas and the coming months.

Saint-Laurent—Cartierville Québec
Stéphane Dion LiberalLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is trying to hide from Canadians cuts to the tune of $7.4 billion. However, thanks to access to information, we have foiled the Prime Minister's secret plans.
And this is what we found: a $2.9 billion cut to assistance to post-secondary students and their families, as well as $2.6 billion from research and development and $700 million from energy conservation and the environment.
I want to know what the Prime Minister is most ashamed of: trying to hide these cuts from Canadians or going ahead with them and thereby penalizing Canadians and the Canadian economy?

Stephen Harper ConservativePrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, again, these were not phantom cuts, as the opposition leader and leader of the Liberal Party would have us believe.
Nonetheless, I can quote his member for Markham—Unionville, who promised in 2004 to strike a committee that would find $12 billion in cuts. In February 2005, the hon. member said:
"There's no doubt you can't find $12 billion or even a chunk of it without affecting jobs".
This government did not cut $12 billion. This government did do some budgetary reductions and did them without cutting any jobs.

Saint-Laurent—Cartierville Québec
Stéphane Dion LiberalLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, we did it without inflicting any harm on Canadians compared to what the Conservatives are doing. First they said in their budget that they would cut more than $7 billion. They did not tell the Canadian people where they would do it because they were embarrassed to say it.
The Conservatives are embarrassed to say that they are the only government in the modern world to make cuts to students, research and development, and energy and climate change. The Prime Minister must be ashamed today. Does he not think it is shameful to make cuts to the economy of Canadians and the students of Canada?

Mr. Speaker, let us be clear. What the hon. member is talking about is not any programs that ever actually existed. What he is talking about is a bunch of promises that the Liberal government made year after year and never delivered on.
That is why this government did not cut those things. There were no such programs to cut in the first place.

The advent of video on demand services has fundamentally changed the way we consume television, but services such as Netflix and Hulu are already playing second fiddle to gaming.
This slice of information comes to us from Superdata which has taken a look at how gaming video content (GVC) on the likes of Twitch and YouTube compares with other content platforms.
The research reveals that GVC attracts 665 million viewers worldwide, more than twice the population of the US.
In 2016 gaming videos attracted 517 million viewers to YouTube with Twitch bringing in an additional 185 million. Netflix, for comparison, has only 93 million subscribers.
"Fans of games and gaming lifestyle opt for content made by relatable individuals as an alternative to legacy media," says Superdata.
The research firm also looked at what the GVC market might be worth in 2017 based on data from 2015 and 2016. The short of it is that in 2017 Superdata forecasts that the market will be worth around $4.6 billion.
The lion's share of that figure – 62% to be exact – will likely be generated by advertising while 7% or $329 million will come from sponsorships. Of course, these are not the only way for content creators to make money. Subscriptions and donations to creators will account for a respective $625 million and $793 million contribution to GVC's market share this year.
"These young, tech-savvy consumers are leading the "cord-cutting" charge, and they are watching GVC instead of primetime TV," explains the research firm.
"Companies that do not build relationships with these viewers now risk losing the next generation of high-spending consumers."
And Superdata isn't joking about "high-spending customers". Average income of a GVC viewer in the US amounts to $58 000 and females represent 46% of the viewer base.
Gaming then is not just a great way to have fun but its also bigger than Netflix and in 2017 it could be worth more than football leagues like Bundesliga and La Liga.
And our parents said we couldn't make money playing video games.

Niche commercial insurer Western National is celebrating 10th years of providing total insurance solutions to the commercial and business market in both South Africa and Namibia.
From its inception, the company has been determined to demonstrate that insurance – typically considered a grudge purchase – can add enormous value and peace of mind to a commercial entity and its owners and directors.
The risks that medium sized businesses face can be catastrophic to companies; these include fires, storms, wind, water, hail, as well as theft, liability claims, collisions, power surges and the like.
Western recognises that commercial insurance needs to be highly tailored to the unique requirements of the entrepreneur. As a result, it has developed flexible structuring options so clients can tailor their excess and premium as well as the various risks associated with it.
Operating through over 200 highly skilled intermediaries, Western offers companies access to multiple product options.
"Our focus on the commercial market, our effective team of highly skilled staff, our flexibility, our quality products and exceptional claim services, mean our intermediaries are able to provide their clients with the best solutions available in the market," says Western CEO Jurgen Hellweg.
Western offers clients the option to combine various risks classes plus the ability to enhance the policy with multiple extensions in order to create a tailor made solution that meets their individual exposures.
Founded in Namibia in 2004, the success of the company resulted in an expansion into South Africa in 2007. In Namibia it is represented in Windhoek and Walvisbay. In South Africa through representations in the Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Gauteng, Limpopo and Bloemfontien, it is able to service clients nationally.
In 2012, Western National was purchased by PSG Konsult Limited which together with Santam makes up the shareholding. "This shareholding reaffirms our credibility, financial soundness, commitment to service excellence and impeccable work ethic," says Hellweg.

Summer is definitely the best time of year to visit Kyiv. Rather than suffer through freezing winter or wet and windy fall and spring, you have chosen to visit in a season that is vibrant, temperate, and reflects the new attitude of the city's residents. Ukrainians themselves love the outdoors, and aside from being able to explore Kyiv's cobbled streets, golden-domed churches, museums and ancient monuments in comfort, the flood of people in the streets provide opportunities to mingle with the generally welcoming and hospitable locals. The city's centre, numerous and vast parks, riverfront beaches, and outdoor cafes bustle with activity and people eager socialize and enjoy the open air. On a historical note, Kyiv is the birthplace of Slavic culture as is reflected in the language, architecture, art, and traditions of the people living here. Geographically speaking, Ukraine is part of Europe and since the country's independence from the Soviet Union has been redesigning itself along the lines of other European capitols.
The last few years have seen the centre transformed from a quiet, cobblestones and cafй-lined plaza into a slate-paved thoroughfare packed with pedestrians, cars, and boutique shops, with mixed feelings from the inhabitants. It was only one year ago that the Soviet hammer and sickle was removed from Independence Square and replaced with the Ukrainian Trezub. The standard of living has been increasing toward and exceeding European levels for some Ukrainians, but the majority of the population still lives in a state of relative poverty. The hopes of many Ukrainian people for a bright economic future rest partially on this years presidential election. Expectations for the future are high yet uncertain, reflecting a developing democratic sentiment within the country that does not always seem to be shared by the governmental leadership. However, the country has come a long way in a short period of time despite after centuries of occupation, decades of totalitarianism, and years of merely trying to establish itself as a nation. While some of these relatively rapid and drastic changes are not always visible to the short-term visitor, be assured that you are visiting Ukraine at a very unique time in its history: a time when it is creating its history. If the confines of Kyiv are not enough to keep you entertained, you should consider a trip to Lviv or Odessa, both of which are featured in our guide. Lviv is the capitol of what many people consider the true Ukraine, where traditional culture, language, and customs are preserved free of Russian influence. While Kyiv resembles other large European capitol cities in terms of its modern look and international standing, a trip to Lviv and its surrounding territory can feel more like an excursion to the beginning of the last century. In contrast, Odessa has historically been a very un-Ukrainian city. Established as a Russian colony and seaport, the Pearl of the Black Sea quickly drew merchants and immigrants from all over Europe, Central Asia, and around the Mediterranean. Today, Odessa is a popular summer tourism destination for Ukrainian and Russian vacationers, but has recently been drawing European and other tourists as well. The Black Sea coast features many beautiful beaches, and is an exciting and relaxing destination for travelers from any origin.
Kyiv's sightseeing to-do list is topped by its famous gold-domed churches and cathedrals, magnificent sanctuaries of worship that impress with their history and art. Since everybody needs souvenirs to take home, God kindly created Andriyivsky uzvis. Next are the city's museums, historical monuments, and finally a wonderful open-air museum on the edge of the city limits. While it is more of a summer hang-out, the attractions of the Hydropark ranging from clubbing to table tennis have began to open as the weather improves. Kyiv has the highest number of square kilometers of park per resident in Europe, lined with benches and dotted with monuments. Spring is generally mild, so there should be plenty of opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and the central squares. You will never be alone as Khreschatyk street's musicians, vendors, and rowdy revelers make their appearance and the chestnut trees rise from their winter sleep.
Kiev (Kyiv, in Ukrainian), the capital of Ukraine, has a population of nearly 3 million inhabitants and covers over 43 km from east to west and 42 km from north to south. Approximately 85% of the Ukrainian population are Orthodox Christians; 10% are Catholics of the Byzantine rite; 3% are Protestant (mainly Baptists); 1.3% are of the Jewish faith. Kyiv has much to offer in the cultural and architectural arenas with its wide tree-lined boulevards and historical buildings reflecting various styles and periods of the ancient Kyivan-Rus Empire. Kyiv is a major industrial center that includes companies specializing in electronics, engineering, aviation, food and chemical production, etc. Kyiv's economic development has been enriched by its advantageous location along the Dnipro River, which links Kyiv to the Black Sea.
Upper Kiev
As you leave the St. Sophia museum, turn left onto vul. Volodimirska which opens onto St. Sophia Square. The equestrian statue standing in the square's center is in honor of the great Cossack Hetman (leader), politician and military hero, Bohdan Khmelnitsky(1595-1657). It was designed by well-known St. Petersburg sculptor Mikhail Mikeshin and was erected in 1888 through donations. Follow the street running down the right-hand side of the square with the statue to your left and a small park to your right. At the end of this street (3 blocks) you will come to Saint Michael's Square. The square takes its name from the Mykhailivsky Zolotoverkhyi Monastery (Michael's Monastery of the Golden Roof), and the cathedral with the same name, which used to stand here. Saint Michael was considered Kiev's patron saint and is depicted on the coat of arms of the city.
The cathedral, as well as the monastery, was founded on this site by Kiev Prince Sviatopolk in 1108. It survived the brutal Mongol invasions and the years of Polish and Lithuanian rule, but, unfortunately, not the Soviets. The Cathedral was destroyed in 1934-35 to make way for the building on your left of the Central Committee of the Ukrainian Communist Party (1939). Today, this massive Stalinist looking structure on your houses Ukrainian governmental offices. To the right of this building is the upper entrance to Kiev's Funicular (cable car). Built in 1905, it is a quick, exciting, and inexpensive ride (the cost is the same as the fare for a car, except on Sunday, when rides are free) down to the Podil (Lower Town), the old trading quarter. This two minute trip will give any child a thrill and provides an excellent view of the Dnieper River and the Left Bank of the city. It leaves you at Poshtova Ploshcha, Post Office Square. Here you will find the Poshtova Ploshcha Metro Station, on the blue line, as well as the Kiev Richkovy Vokzal (River Station), River Passenger Terminal. River boats operate here from early spring to late fan. Now, let's continue our excursion of Kiev's Upper City. On St. Michael's Square notice the stone and metal statue dedicated in 1993 to the memory of the 7-12 million Ukrainian peasants killed by the Stalinist regime during the Great Famine of 1932-'33. Turn right off the square to 6 Three Saints' Street. Here is the Refectory (1713), a white stone church with a single wooden cupola. Once, it was part of the Michael's Monastery of the Golden Roof. Daily services are at 7 AM and 5 PM. On your right, as you head down Three Saints' Street, is St. Alexander's Catholic Church, named after the Russian Emperor Alexander 1. It was built in 1817-1842 to commemorate the victory over Napoleon. Its style is similiar to Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. During Soviet rule, the Church was drastically modified and used as a planetarium. Reconstruction has recently been completed. Services are held daily. Weekdays: 7:30 AM & 10 PM in Polish; 7 PM in Ukrainian. Sundays: 7:30 AM and 12 noon in Polish; 9 AM in French; 10 AM and 7 PM in Ukrainian English. Khreshchatyk
From its northern end of European Square to Bessarabska Square and its southern terminus, Kyiv's most central, most famous and best people-watching street is not even 2km long. Despite what has been called the most impressive unbroken string of Stalinist architecture anywhere, Khreschatyk's gently curving design and wide chestnut-lined sidewalks make it a lovely place for a relaxing stroll. The trees also provide welcome shade during hot summer months, although on weekends and holidays when the street becomes a pedestrian area many prefer to frolick in the street among street performers and Teletubbies. It's hard to believe that this area was once a valley surrounded by a dense forest. The valley's name was `Khreschata', meaning `crossed', because of the many ravines that crossed it. Now there are plans, or at least rumours of plans, to turn the entire underground area of Khreschatyk into shopping centres. Malls already exist at Bessarabska and metros Khreschatyk and Maidan Nezalezhnosti, and another is definitely in the works for European Square as well. As for above-ground shopping, TsUM - the central department store - is actually becoming rather modern and has little to show of its Soviet past. Perhaps in an act of poetic justice the whole street will collapse under this retail strain and again revert to a valley. In the old days the royalty of Kyiv liked to hunt here - but for the foreseeable future the only hunting done on Khreschatyk will be for souvenirs, clothes and pretty Ukrainian women.

Andriyivsky Descent/Andriyivsky uzviz
The best way to get to the Andriyivsky descent, one of the most popular streets in Kiev, is from the Poshtova Ploshcha Metro. To reach the bluff where the descent begins, take the funicular (cable car) located at the bottom of the hill, just outside the subway. When you reach the top, walk straight to the square ahead of you. The building directly ahead of you contains the new BRAMA Contemporary Arts Center. From there, veer right down the steps to the square and cross over to Desyatinna Street, named for the Desyatinna Cerkva (Tithe Church) or Church of the Holy Virgin (989) that once stood at the end of this short street. At the end of the street, veer to the left to the middle of the block and wade through of street vendors and tourists up a flight of stairs and you'll find the outline of the church's foundation, which was reconstructed with red granite. Looking to the right past the site of Desyatinna Cerkva, you'll see the Historical Museum, located on the bluff. The museum's extensive consists of 8 sections dealing with different aspects of Ukraine's history. Behind the museum there is a path that provides a good view of Podil, Kiev's lower town from the highest point of old Kiev.
The Podil District is very different from the Khreshchatik, which is dominated by the monumental architecture of the Stalinist Era. A stroll through the Podil's narrow, quaint streets gives you a sense of life in Old Kiev, when, before the revolution, the Podil was inhabited by merchants and craftsmen. From the bottom of Andriyivsky Uzviz, go straight one block to Petra Sahaidachnovo Street. From here, you can return to the Khreshchatik by turning right and walking a few blocks to Poshtova Ploshcha Metro (Blue Line). To tour the Podil, turn left on Petra Sahaidachnovo Street. On your left starts the broad, long Kontraktova Ploshcha (Contractor's Square). Immediately on your left, at No. 4, is the Hostinny Dvir shopping arcade, built in 1809 by the architect L. Ruska. Near the northwest corner of the building, is the Fountain of Samson, constructed in 1749 by the famous Ukrainian architect Ivan Hryhorovych-Barsky. There are many legends connected with this fountain. According toone of them, a person who drinks fountain's water will settle in Kiev for good. At Kontraktova Ploshcha No. 2 stands the Kontraktovy Dim (Contractor's House), which gives the square its name. It was built in 1817 expressly asa a headquarters for negotiating contracts.
Ukrainian wooden cathedrals. The church is currently being remodelled but is open for services on Saturdays at 9 AM and 5 PM and Sundays at 10 AM. Turn left at the church onto Pritisko-Mikilska. Flofrivski Monastir (St. Flor's Convent) is just a few steps down the street on your right at No. 6/8. This is a functioning convent, whose history dates back from the 15th century. Enter the convent through the Bell-Tower Gates, designed by Andre Melensky in the 1824. The Convent's complex consists of the Voznesenska Cerkva (Church of Ascension), 1722-32, the two-story Refectory, the Bell-Tower (1740) and the House of the Mother-Superior. The 19th century paintings of this beautiful church have been preserved and rate a visit. As you exit through the bell tower on your left No. 7 vul. Pritisko-Mikils'ka is one of Kiev's first apothecaries, 1728. Restored to its original appearance, the building contains a functioning pharmacy, as well as a museum devoted to the history of medicine. Tel.: 416-2437. Open, Tuesday - Sunday, 9 AM to 4 PM. To reach the nearest metro, return in the general direction of Peter the Great's House, turn right onto Kostuantinivska Street and follow the tram tracks bearing to the left two blocks to Metro Station Kontraktova Ploshcha (Blue Line). Here you can catch the metro to all parts of the city as well. Pechersk
Southeast of the main center of Kiev, spread over two large hills along the banks of the Dnieper, is the Kiev-Perchersk Lavra (Monastery of the Caves). To reach the monastery, take the metro to Arsenalna Station (Red Line), exit and cross the street and take Trolley bus 20 two stops. 21 Sichnevoho Povstannya. Tel., 290- 7349.

Among the museums are the Museum of Historical Treasures, the Museum of Ukrainian Decorative and Applied Art, and the Museum of Ukrainian Books and Printing, where Russia's first printing press was established. To begin your excursion of the monastery, purchase your ticket just outside the majestic blue and gold archway of the Trinity Gate Church (1108). Please note, tickets for the Museum of Historical Treasures, the Bell Tower, and the Caves, where you buy a candle in lieu of a ticket, must be purchased at those respective sites. Excellent English, Russian, Ukrainian, French, German, and Spanish tour guides are available just inside the gates in the long building to your left. Should you elect to "see it on your own", the monastery offers a variety of reasonably priced, informative, brochures in English, which provide detailed information about the exhibits. If time permits, set aside a full day to see this magnificent and fascinating part of Kiev's long history.
"Lavra" is the term used by the Orthodox Church for its largest monastery. Pecherska Lavra was one of the most famous monasteries in historical Kievan-Rus and the former Russian Empire. A site of pilgrimage for Orthodox Christians throughout Europe, for centuries it was Orthodox Christianity's "Rome". Founded in 1051 by monks Antony and Feodosiy, the primary goal of the monastery was to spread the newly adopted Christian religion. A cave is "pechera" in Ukrainian, hence the name of monastery. Monks worshipped and lived in the caves which still can be visited. The monks were also buried in these caves. The mixture of the cool temperatures and humid atmosphere of the caves allowed the bodies of the dead to mummify. At the time of monastery foundation, this appeared to be a miracle, enhancing the monastery's prestige. Even today,their bodies remain almost perfectly preserved. In 12th century, Lavra became a leading religious and cultural center of Eastern Europe. Lavra had icon-painting studios and a scriptorium where works of ancient and contemporary foreign writers were translated into Slavic. Outstanding figures of Kievan-Rus, including writers Nikon, Feodosiy Pechersky, Polikarp, and Yakov Mnikh, the great physician, Agapit, and the artist, Alimpiy, lived and worked here. The historian Nestor wrote the renowned old Slavic Chronicle, "The Story of Bygone Days", while living in the monastery. Archeological excavations of the 1950's revealed that the monastery housed a workshop which produced mosaics that decorated many Kievan churches.
