LONDON • The full hearing to decide whether WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should be extradited to the United States to face accusations including spying charges will take place in February, a London court ruled yesterday.
Assange, 47, faces 18 counts in the US including conspiring to hack government computers and violating an espionage law. He could spend decades in prison if found guilty.
Washington on Tuesday submitted a formal extradition request to Britain after Ecuador terminated the Australian's seven-year asylum in its London embassy in April.
Assange told the Westminster Magistrates' Court: "175 years of my life is effectively at stake."
"It is important that people aren't fooled into believing that WikiLeaks is anything but a publisher," said Assange, who appeared by video link from a London prison, dressed in a grey T-shirt and wearing black-framed glasses. "The US government has tried to mislead the press," he said.
As Mr Ben Brandon, the lawyer representing the US, ran through a summary of the charges against Assange, including that he had cracked a US Defence network password, the Australian said: "I didn't hack anything."
Assange came to prominence when WikiLeaks in 2010 published a trove of classified military and diplomatic files about US bombing campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq, angering Washington which said he had put lives at risk.
WikiLeaks' initial revelations about civilian casualties and embarrassing statements made by US officials about foreign leaders were published in coordination with newspapers such as The New York Times and The Guardian. Those stories redacted the names and personal details of US operatives and local informants whose lives could have been endangered.
But WikiLeaks found the arrangement too confining and published the entire load of unedited cables and video files on its website.
Assange's supporters hail him as a hero for exposing what they describe as abuse of power by modern states and for championing free speech.
He spent almost seven years holed up at the Ecuadorean embassy in London where he fled in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden. Stockholm wants to question him over allegations of rape.
He was dragged from the embassy on April 11, and jailed for 50 weeks for skipping bail.
The US has since charged Assange with numerous offences including espionage, saying he unlawfully published the names of secret sources and conspiring with former army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to obtain access to classified information.
Manning was arrested and convicted by military court martial for leaking the government reports.
Mr Brandon said Assange's actions had been dangerous and, "by publishing the unredacted material, (he) created grave and imminent risk that many intelligence sources, including journalists, human rights defenders and political activists would suffer serious physical harm or arbitrary detention".
However, Assange's lawyer Mark Summers said the charges were an "outrageous and full-fronted assault on journalist rights and free speech" and that his client did not have access to a computer to allow him to follow the case.
He told the court that Assange, who had been too ill to attend the previous hearing in May, was receiving healthcare.
Judge Emma Arbuthnot said the full extradition case would be heard in the week starting Feb 25 next year.

With the boom of internet business and the emergence of internet giants, business moved from small size enterprise, on-premise infrastructure to very large, hosted data centers. This shift significantly changed size and architecture of the electrical distribution infrastructure.
However, even if the connectivity to utilities and MV part can be very different, the "LV" part, whatever the design and size of the data center, can be standardized, optimized and pre-integrated to reduce risks and time during on site installation.
LV power train is defined as combination of MV/LV transformer, LV switchboards, UPS and LV distribution to the rack. By developing design of this block with comprehensive integration, we can consider optimization of equipment as well as pre-validation of the system, on site installation description, operation sequences and recommendations.
This study made by Schneider Electric provides solution basic design that contributes to the standardization journey of building data center that reduce Capex, improves ROI, quickens time to market, increase simplification and scale of deployment expected by the business evolution.

All year spent griping about how there isn't enough structure for Rise of Flight multiplayer, and at last Bloody April is here again!
Some early impressions:
Jasta 5's efforts are deeply appreciated, but I still wonder why this event is the only one of its nature? I imagine that it must be somewhat of a burden to host the only campaign of its kind, perhaps a companion effort would be welcomed. As Syndicate are providing servers this year, how about using the experience gained for a similar event run by Syndicate? Cambrai could be run in a similar style, and offers opportunities to have both Central and Entente sides attack and defend. Cambrai would also be about six months on, that's only half the wait!
The event seems to have expanded this year in response to demand, was it only two missions per day last year? Three missions per day allows more participation, also it seems that the missions themselves will be longer, this allows the inclusion of a 'second phase' so that pilots can join after the originals have left or have been shot down. This expansion is very welcome, though it seems possible that it may have placed greater constraints on what can be done with the missions themselves. There was even a practice night for Bloody April, which was well attended.
Whether the principle could be extended is another matter. I've often asked for regular limited machines missions but the response has been that limited reflights and death penalties limit player numbers. It's not that I'm against the vast open participation style, but both types could be run. Ideally I would want the actual missions run some time before the event, so that the 'competition' element was established beforehand. While it hasn't a particular historic basis, Vander squadron competition format has a different approach to secret objectives, though I prefer multiple objectives to the random choice of the objective at mission start. Also Jasta 5 only get the opportunity to run Bloody April III 1.0 missions and this seems a very stressful approach!
Air starts seem to be another feature introduced this year. While the RFC packed as many machines they could onto aerodromes in the battle sector and allocated the flanking wings to support flanking sectors, some of the machines came from headquarters aerodromes further away and which might enlarge the map boundaries considerably if included. As RFC structure had not changed, this would be true of any Cambrai set up as well. It would be possible to have a map extension just for these flights, there is no reason beyond aesthetics why the active mission map has to be rectangular, however this still means the inclusion of extra terrain and more active aerodromes.
While Jasta 5 must be pleased at the RFC Nieuports, I would imagine that they will also look somewhat wistfully at the release schedule, FE2s and Strutters would be very useful. Let's see if 777 can be persuaded to part with a BE2 as well for next year!? That is one potential drawback for staging a Cambrai scenario, there are no new machines to whet the appetite for it. However of the recent releases the CLII and DH4 are both useful.
Again this year there will be a single Bloody April force commander to allocate machines for each mission, a structure that is bound to cause controversy and puts pressure on the force commanders. This seems an area where a different approach could be taken. When you have centralised control the effect must be for each side to try and group forces as much as possible, and this is both unrealistic and might place extra strain on the server when combat is joined. One alternative is to have the campaign run from the squadron level, with each participating squadron playing the role of a squadron in the campaign. This approach is the one I would promote in any comparable event.
While at this pre-battle stage I can't discuss the missions themselves, there are some general observations to be made. Escorts were not often used by the RFC during the Great War except for specific missions, perhaps aerodrome attacks or especially vital strategic reconnaissance. Without radios, escorts could not be relied upon to meet their charges. More importantly, routine two-seater missions often took longer than allowed for by scout endurance. The solution was for scout flights to conduct line patrols to seek out enemies trying to penetrate the two-seater working area. Also, during Bloody April the ratio between scouts and two-seaters was about 50-50, more like 60-40 for the battle sector but then two-seater flights from other sectors had more ability to reach the battle sector. While players typically prefer scouts, if you greatly increase the ratio of scouts to two-seaters and shorten the two-seater missions, it alters the nature of the fighting considerably.
Cambrai offers rather more scope for ground attack than Bloody April, and this would mean that RFC scouts had other tasks than patrols. The design of my original Cambrai maps was heavily influenced by Bloody April II, and what I wanted was a situation where there were many potential missions to be undertaken with the limited assets available, rather than one with fewer options which rewarded the concentration of all available machines. Of course, as you have the Central side counterattack during Cambrai the issue of the side on the offensive having rather more opportunity to score points is somewhat alleviated.
Anyway, on with the show chaps!

Time to make the doughnuts? No, but it's time honor those who do — and all the contributions they've made not only in Medford, but all the communities where they do business.
Earlier this month, the Medford Chamber of Commerce handed out its annual Executive Director's Award to D'Alelio Management Company LLC, which owns 26 Dunkin' Donuts franchises in the Greater Boston area.
The Business of the Year honor is given by the executive director to a business or individual who contributes to the chamber.
"The main reason I picked them is because they donate to the chamber whenever I ask," said Executive Director Jodie Coyne. "All I have to do is call and they are always there to help out."
Coyne said whether it's a bingo night, a meeting or the Businesses Salute the Military luncheon in May, the D'Alelio family is always willing to lend a hand.
Mitzi Lawlor, who co-owns and runs the family business with her brothers, Gary D'Alelio and Ralph D'Alelio Jr., received the call from Coyne about this year's award.
"Jodie called and for me, it was just another call and then she told me we had been selected for the award," Lawlor said. "I was in absolute shock! There was silence and then I said, 'Are you sure?' and she said, 'Yes, you do a lot for the chamber and we appreciate all you've done.'"
Lawlor said the reality is starting to sink in.
"It's very moving," she said. "We don't do what we do for the community to get awards, but it's very nice to be recognized for what we've done."
One of the things the family does is host the annual military luncheon, which is held around Memorial Day.
"I called Jodie one day and asked her what we could do for the community and she said the military luncheon," Lawlor said. "So we do that every year now. Last year, our dad came to the luncheon and we had given the chamber photos of him when he was in the Air Force."
Lawlor said the idea of giving back is something that started with her mother, the late Helen D'Alelio who passed away in 2007.
"My mom started us in the business and she taught us to appreciate each other, our customers and the communities we were in," Lawlor said. "She was the first one to say yes and give back to the community. She was always ready to ask where we could help and make a difference. That's what I take most from her."
Just last year, Helen D'Alelio became the first woman inducted into the Dunkin' Donuts Hall of Fame.

A new proposal is now in EQ. It's the Room/Item Group Proposal but the group totals INCLUDE tax at the bottom of the proposal.
Move (or Copy) Items (Or POs) to Another Sales Order
New Feature! You can now move or copy items from one order to another, even if they've already been purchased or received! Technically you can even move a Purchase Order to another Sales Order (by moving all the items). Example 1: Let's say you've ordered some...
Dashboard Flash Display Issue – Solve Permanently
If your Dashboard does not look right (should be 3D color) or if you have to continually "Accept" Flash for it to look right, follow these directions to fix permanently.
You Can Now View Document Attachments on iPad (Known Issues)
You can now view attachments in EQ on your iPad (attachments like images, PDFs, or Word docs stored in your Job or Order).
Previously attachments would not open on iPad.
Fixed! Confirm Notes Now Show on PO Lists
Confirm notes were not showing when you made the Confirm Notes column visible in either PO list. They now show when you show that column either inside the order on the Purchasing tab, or on the PO List. To see all the latest fixes and features...
Fixed! Account Number Now Auto-Popluates on PO
The account number field for a Purchase Order now populates automatically if there is only 1 possible account number for the order. Even if there are multiple account numbers for the company, as long as there are not multiple available to that order/location it will...
Fixed! Proposal by Room / Item Group – Lines are Sorted by Line Now, Not Supplier
The Proposal by Room/Item Group was sorting line items by supplier name instead of by the line numbers in the order they were on the quote. This is corrected and the items are now in the same order within each Room / Item Group as they are on the Quote....
Duplicate Page or Items on Proposals – Workaround
This is a workaround to fix the duplicate page or part of a page on proposals. We appreciate your patience as we find a solution for this issue.
NEW! Attach Documents at Customer Level
You can now attach documents at the Customer Level. Docs attached at Customer level can automatically be seen on any Jobs or Quotes/Orders for that customer.
Fixed! Scrolling in History Tab Works
In the history tab you could not scroll to see the history lines if there were enough to fill the page. You can now scroll to see entire history.
New! Larger Document Attachment Limits
EQ Limits have been increased on document attachments and on attachments for Proposals and POs.
Fixed! No More Unwanted Whitespace on Proposals
Occasionally users were seeing unwanted whitespace in proposals between items on the proposal. This has been fixed.
Fixed: Moving Item Groups No Longer Changes Order of Items
Previously if you used an arrow to move an Item Group up or down it would re-arrange the order of the items in the group(s). It no longer does this and keeps them all in the same order.
Administrator Can Now Do a Negative Priced Misc Item
If you need to do an item with a credit amount, you can now do a negative sell price on a misc item. This is for administrator only, but it allows you to use a negative sign for a negative amount.
Ability to Put $ In Description Field
We've added the ability to use $ in the description field again. Use them as much as you want now. Previously they caused an issue which has been resolved.
New Feature: Export to Intacct Accounting System
You can now export orders to Intacct Accounting System.
Fixed! Receiving a Purchase Order No Longer Affects the Receive Date of Other PO's
When you receive a Purchase Order, sometimes it would populate the receive date of other PO's with the same receive date as the one you just received. This has been fixed.
Edit Line Item Hovertext Removed
When users tried to click the pencil to edit a line item the hovertext that says "Edit Line Item" would sometimes get in the way of clicking the pencil. The hovertext has been removed so that this doesn't happen. It's pretty self-explanatory what the pencil is anyway.
Update! Larger Product Finder Window
You can now do and see more in the Product Finder. The list is taller and shows more products on each page.
New Feature – Receiving into Bin Locations
We added the ability to receive item into specific Bin Locations in Equilibrium. You can setup your bins in Setup/System Configuration. Then choose the Bin when you receive items. The Bin Location then shows on the Pick Ticket so warehouse personnel know where to get...

You are probably familiar with many of the primary benefits to using a daily planner, like being organized in your personal and professional life, never missing an important event, and having a place to write down your to-do lists and other important lists. However, it can also be really useful for your health, including mental and physical health.
You can see the Best Planners for 2018 >>
Track Your Fitness Goals
Fitness and physical activity are important for everyone, not just people trying to lose weight or bulk up. No matter who you are, it is important to fit some exercise into your lifestyle. A planner is a great tool for this, as you can schedule workouts in the calendar section of the planner, they have pages for tracking workouts, and listing your individual fitness goals.
I do have an eBook on How A Daily Planner Can Change Your Life if you would like more info and also a printable Lifestyle and Home Planner
Keep Track of Weight and Measurements
For those who are trying to lose weight or just maintain their current weight, a planner is a good tool for keeping track of your weight and measurements. There are of course digital apps that do this, but sometimes you want everything in one place, and to enter the weight or measurements on a date on your calendar. Don't underestimate the power of putting pen to paper when tracking or setting goals.
Best planner for your Bullet Journaling>>>
Plan Meals and Diet
Another big part of health and wellness has to do with what you put into your body. Your diet isnít just about weight loss, but about physical and mental health. You might have specific goals like reducing sugar and caffeine, or maybe you want to try to get to your 5 servings of fruit and veggies goal for each day. Many areas of the planner offer you the option to track what you eat, set nutrition goals, and even do some meal planning.
Best planner for your Bullet Journaling>>>
Use it for Mental Health
Health isnít just about your physical health, but mental and emotional health as well. Planners offer so many mental health benefits, from reducing stress to helping with anxiety. You are becoming more organized and donít have your mind full of things to do, but no idea when and how to do them. Everything is scheduled and planned out, and you can have more time for a little self-care.
Start a Healthy Daily Routine
Using your planner itself can also be good for your health when you add it to your daily routine. Check in each day, write down the dayís to-do lists, check on tasks for your next goal. Really use it to its full advantage, and you will be amazed by how much better you feel.

Montenegro Airiness is negotiating the potential introduction of scheduled flights to Lisbon and Istanbul. The carrier's CEO, Željko Banjević, said, "In terms of new destinations in 2020, we are currently completing our analysis and negotiations over the potential introduction of seasonal flights to Lisbon and Istanbul. In the coming period, we will also be working on commencing flights towards new destinations within Europe, the former Soviet Union and the Middle East". Mr Banjević did not specify whether the new routes would originate from Podgorica or Tivat. Currently, Turkish Airlines maintains services between Istanbul and Podgorica, while there are no flights from Montenegro to Lisbon. At this point, Montenegro Airlines plans to run flights to sixteen destinations. Of those, half are year-round, and half are seasonal. In 2020, the carrier will operate flights to a total of fifteen charter destinations.
Fleet-wise, Montenegro Airlines will retire its sole operational Fokker 100 jet following the end of the 2020 summer season. "The plan is to have a fleet of five Embraer E195 jets, while a sixth plane, of the same or greater capacity, would be wet-leased through an ACMI over the summer season", Mr Banjević noted. The airline currently has five F100 jets in its fleet, four of which are grounded, and three E195s. Two of the Embraer jets are on operational leases, which run until 2024 and 2025 respectively. "We will negotiate the acquisition of those two E195s from the lessors because we have been systematically investing in them since 2008", the CEO said. The airline previously noted it would lease an additional E195 jet for the coming summer.

BACKGROUND: Sodium hyaluronate (Healon) has been reported to promote corneal epithelial healing following severe eye burns in humans and rabbits. Endogenous hyaluronate has been shown to be significantly increased in the corneal tissue following extracapsular lens extraction, anterior segment trauma, and radial keratotomy. The authors report the use of topical sodium hyaluronate administration on the cornea of eyes which have been treated by photorefractive keratectomy for myopia.
METHODS: Forty eyes of 40 patients undergoing excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy for myopia were studied to evaluate the effect of topical sodium hyaluronate versus placebo (Healon buffer) instillation on pain and corneal epithelial healing in an observer blind randomized clinical trial.
RESULTS: There was no significant difference between patients whose eyes were treated with sodium hyaluronate and those treated with a placebo (Healon buffer), with regard to the amount of postoperative pain or the rapidity of corneal epithelial healing.
CONCLUSIONS: Topical sodium hyaluronate administration showed no effect on pain or corneal epithelial healing following photorefractive keratectomy in this study. [JRefìract Surg. 1995;11:42-44.]
Sodium hyaluronate (Healon, Pharmacia, Monrovia, Calif) is a sterile non-pyrogenic viscoelastic preparation of highly purified noninflammatory, high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate. It is a transparent, viscous solution which has been used in intraocular surgery for more than 14 years in about 20 million patients.
Several surgical methods have been used to correct myopia during the past three decades,13 including excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy.4 However, the epithelial defect resulting from this procedure causes severe pain in most patients. Pain is a common complication of surgical procedures for myopia.5
Sodium hyaluronate has been reported as efficacious, in combined surgical and drug therapy, in promoting healing of the cornea in the treatment of severe eye burns.68 The effect of sodium hyaluronate on epithelial healing in corneal alkali wounds in rabbit eyes was confirmed in another study.9 Topical sodium hyaluronate application during penetrating keratoplasty has been speculated as promoting epithelial healing.10 Nishida et al11 demonstrated that sodium hyaluronate stimulates corneal epithelial migration in cultured rabbit cornea. Our study was conducted to investigate whether topical sodium hyaluronate application, following photorefractive keratectomy for myopia, has an effect on postoperative pain and epithelial healing.
Forty eyes of 40 patients with myopia, 17 men and 23 women, were recruited from the Excimer Laser Clinic. Their ages ranged from 21 to 53 years (mean, 31 years). All patients were white except for one Asian. The distribution between treatment of right and left eyes was equal.
Each patient was given, prior to inclusion in the study, full and adequate verbal and written information regarding the objective of the study and possible risks involved. The patients were informed of their right to withdraw from the study at any time. Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to treatment.
Each patient was allocated for application of sodium hyaluronate (10 mg/ml sodium hyaluronate) or placebo (sodium hyaluronate buffer) after photorefractive keratectomy, according to a randomization computer program. Sodium hyaluronate (10 mg/ml) is dissolved in sodium hyaluronate buffer.

Table 2
Postoperative Pain in the Control Group (Number of Eyes)
The syringes were filled with either solution and were marked with patient numbers to be issued consecutively. All syringes were packed in a similar manner. Neither the operator (M. O.K.), nor the observer (KA.) had access to the randomization list.
Seven millimeters of epithelium concentric with the constricted pupil was scraped using a beaver knife. All eyes were treated using 193-nanometer Summit Technology ExciMed UV 200 argon fluoride excimer laser. The diameter of the treatment zone was 5 mm with fluence of 180 mJ/cmp 2 and repetition rate of 10 Hz. A small amount of the test product was applied immediately after the laser treatment to the center of the cornea followed by the routine application of Maxitrol (Dexamethasone 0.1%, Neomycin sulphate 0.35% and polymyxin B sulphate 6000 iu per gram) eye ointment. A double eye pad was then placed over the treated eye.
The systemic analgesic, Solpadeine (paracetamol 500 mg, codeine phosphate 8 mg and caffeine 30 mg), was given postoperatively. Patients were advised to take analgesic tablets as needed and were also prescribed a sedative, Dalmane 30 mg (flurazepam), to be taken at nighttime.
The patients were assessed at 1, 2, 5, and 7 days postoperatively. At each visit, the patients were asked to reveal the degree of pain experienced which was recorded on a five-point scale (none, very mild, mild, moderate, or severe).
The Haag Streit 900 slit-lamp microscope was used to measure the diameter of the residual unhealed area of epithelium at each visit. The length of slit beams, at two directions, was measured using the incorporated beam length measure. This is compared to the initial denuded area at the time of treatment, which is usually a central 7.0 mm. Maxitrol ointment was applied topically to the operated eye by all patients four times per day during the first week.
Case Report Forms were computer-processed using a VAX-computer from Digital Equipment. The treatments were compared using Wilcoxon's rank sum test for categorical data, chi-square for binary data, and i-test for continuous data.
Most of the patients reported having moderate-tosevere pain at day 1, and none-to-mild pain at the day 2 visit. None of the patients had pain at the day 7 visit (Tables 1 and 2).
Six patients, two in the control group and four in the sodium hyaluronate group, received additional analgesic medication during the follow-up study period. There was no statistical difference regarding pain at any of the postoperative visits.
The median percentage of epithelium regrowth was 50 at the first postoperative visit and 100 at the third visit in the two groups. The estimated percentage of epithelial healing was not significantly different between the two groups at any of the visits.
At the third postoperative visit (5 days after laser surgery), four patients, two in the sodium hyaluronate group and two in the control group, failed to attend. Seven days after laser surgery, three patients in the control group did not attend.
No adverse event occurred during the 1-week follow-up period.
Pain occurring after photorefractive keratectomy is a significant side effect in most patients.12-14 It starts 2 to 3 hours after treatment, reaches a peak at 12 hours, and abates over a 24-hour period. Patients experience significant distress and discomfort and thus, some potential patients may decline this form of treatment. The cause of the pain is similar to that of a corneal abrasion and is the result of the mechanical removal of the epithelium which exposes the naked nerve endings. It has been postulated that prostaglandins may play a role in causing pain in the postoperative period. Topical prostaglandins inhibitors, therefore, are being tested in some centers, eg, topical diclofenac ( Voltarol).
Other therapies to control pain which have been attempted include bandage contact lenses,15 eye padding,13, 15,16 and topical cycloplegics.12,15 Systemic medications such as morphine, pethidene, Solpadeine, dextropropoxyphene with paracetamol (Distalgesic), or dihydrocodeine12,14,15 have also been suggested. These medications have been used in combination or separately. The effect of systemic treatment is quite limited in relieving local pain. However, a locally applied drug with rapid action and minimal, or no, systemic side effects could be useful, especially if the progress of the healing process is unaffected. We are currently investigating a new modality of alleviating pain by applying topical local anesthetics postoperatively.
Sodium hyaluronate has been used for years in intraocular surgery and has made a significant contribution to the safety and efficacy of surgery. Sodium hyaluronate has also been topically administered outside the eye. It produces a powerful lubricant and is believed to promote healing.9, 11 Reim6-8 has reported the use of sodium hyaluronate as part of a combined medical and surgical management of caustic and thermal eye injuries with satisfactory results. Fitzsimmons et al17 demonstrated that in rabbit eyes treated with excimer laser, hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate) was produced in the corneal stroma during healing. Experimental work by Molander et al18, 20 showed in rabbits that endogenous hyaluronan (sodium hyaluronate) increased significantly in the corneal tissue following extracapsular lens extraction, anterior segment trauma, and radial keratotomy. These findings suggest a possible role of endogenous sodium hyaluronate in the healing of corneal tissue. Vinciguerra et al21 used topical 0.4% hyaluronic acid routinely in the immediate period following photorefractive keratectomy. In the study by Reim and Saric,8 antibiotic drops were applied to the chemically burned rabbit eye followed by sodium hyaluronate application. In our study, sodium hyaluronate was applied first to the laser-treated cornea followed by the application of Maxitrol ointment. This combination of sodium hyaluronate and ointment created a thick smear which perhaps did not allow for optimal penetration of the sodium hyaluronate. This lack of penetration could have contributed to our findings of no effect of sodium hyaluronate on corneal epithelial healing or pain following photorefractive keratectomy. Pain resulting from photorefractive keratectomy remains a universal problem despite the thousands of patients treated and the various local and systemic medications used.

The Lessons
Reading One (Anne) :
Reader: A reading from the Book of Genesis.
These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, sister of Laban the Aramean. Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord granted his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived. The children struggled together
within her; and she said, "If it is to be this way, why do I live?" So she went to inquire of the Lord.
And the Lord said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples born of you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger."
When her time to give birth was at hand, there were twins in her womb. The
first came out red, all his body like a hairy mantle; so they named him Esau. Afterward his brother came out, with his hand gripping Esau's heel; so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents. Isaac loved Esau, because he was fond of game; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was famished. Esau said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red stuff, for I am famished!" (Therefore he was called Edom.) Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright." Esau said, "I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?" Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

Canticle: The Song of Isaiah (Colleen) Quaerite Dominum Isaiah 55:6-11
Seek the Lord while he wills to be found; *
call upon him when he draws near.
Let the wicked forsake their ways *
and the evil ones their thoughts;
And let them turn to the Lord, and he will have compassion, *
and to our God, for he will richly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, *
nor your ways my ways, says the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, *
so are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For as rain and snow fall from the heavens *
and return not again, but water the earth,
Bringing forth life and giving growth, *
seed for sowing and bread for eating,
So is my word that goes forth from my mouth; *
it will not return to me empty;
But it will accomplish that which I have purposed, *
and prosper in that for which I sent it.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Reading Two
Reader (Hennie): A reading from the Gospel according to Matthew
That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. Such great
crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat there, while the whole crowd stood on the beach. And he told them many things in parables, saying: "Listen! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell on the path, and the birds came and ate them up. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and they sprang up quickly, since they had no depth of soil. But when the sun rose, they were scorched; and since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Let anyone with ears listen!"
"Hear then the parable of the sower. When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in the heart; this is what was sown on the path. As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately
receives it with joy; yet such a person has no root, but endures only for a while, and when trouble or persecution arises on account of the word, that person immediately falls away. As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the lure of wealth choke the word, and it yields nothing. But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty."
Reader: The Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

Amen.

Son: Look with compassion on the whole human family; take away the arrogance and hatred which infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us; unite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that, in your good time, all nations and races may serve you in harmony around your heavenly throne; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise,
not only with our lips, but in our lives,
by giving up our selves to your service,
and by walking before you
in holiness and righteousness all our days;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit,
be honor and glory throughout all ages. Amen.
Officiant: Let us bless the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

Cutting-Edge Style
With available 19-inch bright chrome wheels, standard on SXL models, the 2015 Kia Sedona is the kind of eye-candy that makes the 2015 Kia Sedona stands out in any crowd. Available Xenon HID headlights not only provide a striking appearance, but are equipped with an automatic levelling function for optimal illumination of the road ahead. The available smart-power liftgate, when coupled with the available Smart-Key, opens automatically if you stand next to it for three seconds with the Smart-Key on you. This is especially helpful when you have your hands full. Plus, the liftgate in the 2015 Kia Sedona automatically retracts if it meets resistance, and you can set it to open and hold at different heights. Front and rear sunroofs on the 2015 Kia Sedona SXL models enhance the feeling of spaciousness and fill the cabin with fresh air. They also feature dual sliding sunshades and can be controlled independently, making it quick and easy to open and close either one or both.
The 2015 Kia Sedona's interior adapts to your lifestyle, beginning with your choice of available seven or eight-passenger seating. Configure the second and third-row seats to carry passengers in comfort or stow extra cargo. Meanwhile an available 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat and available 8-way power-adjustable front passenger seat provide added comfort. Available tri-zone air conditioning lets you select separate climate zones to further optimize comfort. When you need more cargo space, take advantage of the standard second-row seats' innovative stand-up design. Flip a lever to stand the seats upright, where they stay locked in place. They also slide forward-and-backward and side-to-side for remarkable adjustability. Third-row seats fold down into the floor, and they also feature a versatile 60:40 split-fold design, giving you the option of carrying a combination of passengers and cargo. The available 8-inch multimedia interface combines a dynamic display and brilliant graphics with touch screen gestures and speech recognition technology for precise control of multiple systems and functions. This includes the 360 degree camera monitoring system, which utilizes four cameras, located at the front, rear, and sides, to provide visibility all around the vehicle.

I have one relatively large, relatively current family portrait -- and a series of old Christmas card pictures, put together in a multi-opening frame. The oldest of these is 18 years old now. I know this with certainty because only three of my five children are depicted in the photograph, and all of them are now in college.
As I took down these family pictures and packed them away for the move to the new office, I couldn't help but think of a photo in my father's office.
I was out of school already, working, living on my own, but for some reason I needed to stop by my father's office. I can't remember why. I was probably dropping something off for return to the family homestead, or else picking something up. I didn't go to my father's office often; it may have been the very first time I had gone to this particular office: By this time my father had already 'retired' once, which in this case meant moving from one company where he'd worked for 25 years to a competitor, just down the street.
My father wasn't in when I got there, but his assistant, Phyllis, said she recognized me. From my picture.
I went in the office to drop off or pick up whatever it was that I was there for, and I saw the picture in question: It was a picture of me, my sister and brother, circa 1966 or '67, in our Easter finery. For my brother and myself, that meant hideously loud, maroon and red plaid sport jackets and red ties. The photograph had faded somewhat with age, but the sportcoats were still lurid. I could not have been more than 10.
I guess I had aged well.
Or at least predictably.
I've since noticed that a lot of people have, shall we say, less than contemporary family photographs in their offices. Is that because we're clinging to our youth?

The menu or the header area with logo and menu is at the beginning of the template at the bottom of the screen and then moves up when scrolling. Personally I like that, but my partner wants to have the menu at the top of the screen. How can we change this?
Many thanks in advance for your soon reply!

NGOs file court appeal to stop Dwejra restaurant development
€3,000 were donated by the general public, helping BirdLife and other NGOs to appeal an Environment and Planning Review Tribunal decision to allow further development to a Dwejra restaurant
BirdLife Malta together with a group of other NGOs and entities this morning filed a court appeal against an Environment and Planning Review Tribunal (EPRT) decision to green-light further development of a restaurant at Dwejra in Gozo.
In a statement, BirdLife said the appeal was being partly financed by members of the public who donated more than €3,000.
"Following the overwhelming support from the general public who donated more than €3,000 in two days, BirdLife Malta on behalf of the front of 15 organisations has today filed an appeal in court to challenge the decision of the Environment and Planning Review Tribunal," the NGO said in a statement.
A Planning Authority ruling refusing the embellishment works on a Dwejra restaurant, was over turned by the EPRT last month, despite the area being a Natura 2000 site and a Dark Sky Heritage Area. The area is also designated as a Special Protection Area under the Wild Birds Directive.
The proposed development includes new lighting and the installation of tables and chairs on its terrace.
BirdLife launched a crowdfunding initiative to appeal the decision earlier this month, over fears that the controversial decision would affect bird populations at Dwejra.
Claire Bonello, a lawyer and environmental campaigner will be representing the front during the hearing on 16 October, after the court's summer recess.
The site's cliffs are home to a large number of Scopolis Shearwater birds, and are one of the last places on the islands which enjoys from minimal light pollution.
Astronomical observations are also carried out from the site.
"We would like to once again thank all the eNGOs who joined forces for the appeal and the hundreds of people who donated to fund it," BirdLife said.
15 organisations are supporting the initiative including BirdLife Malta, Bicycle Advocacy Group, Din l-Art Helwa, Flimkien Ghal Ambjent Ahjar, Friends of the Earth Malta, Isles of the Left, Light Pollution Awareness Group, Moviment Graffitti, Nature Trust, Ramblers Malta, Archaeological Society of Malta, The Astronomical Society of Malta, Institute of Space Sciences and Astronomy at the University of Malta, Wirt Ghawdex and Voice of the Left.
