Gay Catholic activist dismayed at church campaign | MGN: Miami ...

By admin on March 30, 2012 ? Comments Off

By Timothy McDonald

Updated March 30, 2012 20:22:06

A gay Catholic activist and author says the church should get its own house in order instead of throwing resources at an anti-gay marriage campaign.

Victoria?s Catholic bishops are trying to mobilise their parishioners against the two bills before Federal Parliament that would change the definition of marriage.

The church will circulate 80,000 letters urging Catholics to make their views known on the gay marriage debate.

The Bishop of Sale, Christopher Prowse, says marriage is a sacred institution that government should not tinker with.

?This has served us well for a basis of security and happiness in society,? he said.

?We do feel that the bills before Federal Parliament as the year goes on seek to redefine marriage as we know it and this is a very serious matter for us.?

But his argument has left some gay Catholics unimpressed, including Michael Bernard Kelly.

Mr Kelly is the author of a book about the gay experience within the Christian faith and was the spokesman for the gay Catholic activist group Rainbow Sash.

He says Victoria?s bishops are out of step with most of the Australian population and many Catholics.

?The Catholic hierarchy also has a lot of housekeeping of its own to do in terms of dealing with issues of sexuality and power before it starts trying to tell gay people or society as a whole what it should be doing,? he said.

The bishops say their position implies no lack of respect for people who identify as gay or lesbian, but Mr Kelly says that is disingenuous.

?I think to say on one hand that they respect and love gay and lesbian people, and on the other hand that our relationships potentially damage the institution of marriage and damage society, is really quite offensive,? he said.

And he has described as ?limited? the letter?s assertion that gay marriage is not possible because it separates marriage from its grounding in biology.

?I think it is a very limited view. I mean marriage clearly means a lot of things in contemporary society,? he said.

?The church itself accepts that couples who are infertile or who are very elderly can still be married and have loving sex.

?If that is the case, why can?t two women who love one another marry have loving sex?

?This idea that somehow because this bit fits there in a man and a woman, that somehow that is what should determine how society constructs its legal recognition of marriage, I think is almost infantile.

?We have to look beyond that to the quality of relationships.?

Own terms

Mr Kelly says he accepts that all religions have the right to offer sacraments and rituals on their own terms.

?I think there is no question that government should not in any sense be requiring any religious body to conduct any form of religious ritual that they don?t believe they should conduct, including same-sex marriage,? he said.

?However, there is also plenty of religious groups that do want to conduct same sex marriages.

?Some parts of reform Judaism and certainly many liberal Christian groups want to conduct same sex marriages as a matter of their religious perspective.

?They should have that right too and certainly society and the government should not be requiring churches to offer same-sex marriages.

?But we can certainly have civil marriage and we can certainly allow religious bodies that do want to conduct same-sex marriages to go ahead and conduct them. What?s the problem??

Autism far more prevalent than believed | Health X Pert Articles ...

We could fill every inch of a year?s worth of Triathlete issues with training advice ? there?s that much information and that many approaches to triathlon training. But you don?t need an encyclopedic knowledge of the sport to get a successful start. We compiled some of the most common training questions we hear and had veteran coach and successful former pro Jimmy Riccitello weigh in with his expert opinion. How many months/weeks of training will I need? ?If you?re a reasonably fit person who can swim a bit, you could do a sprint triathlon tomorrow,? says Riccitello. Recommended? No. But doable? Yes. ?If you break it down into individual parts ? a half-mile swim, 12-mile bike ride and a 3-mile run ? it?s not such a daunting event,? he says, ?unless you don?t know how to swim.? The swim is typically the biggest hurdle for newbies, says Riccitello, and ?if the ?sink or swim? saying has a literal meaning to you, you?ll need to get some lessons.? Triathlete: 15 must-haves, essential beginner gear However, if you are comfortable in the water and have a bike that?s in good working order, an athlete with decent base fitness should be able to pedal through 12 miles and run 3, he says. A caveat, though: ?Having said that, the more time you dedicate to training for your first triathlon, the more prepared you will be.? How many times a week do I swim, bike and run? For most of his first-time triathletes, Riccitello recommends 1 to 2 swims per week, 1 to 2 rides per week and 3 to 5 runs per week. ?These are general recommendations that would change depending on individual circumstances,? he notes. For example, if you don?t know how to swim or are uncomfortable in the water, you should spend more time per week in the pool under the guidance of a good swim instructor or coach. Riccitello says the above guidelines assume a hectic work and family schedule and that it?s simply easier to fit in a few more runs than it is to find the time to swim and ride. ?Considering the goal is to finish a sprint triathlon, you?ll get more bang for your buck by running more often, relative to riding and swimming,? he says. Triathlete: Running workouts for the treadmill Do I need a coach? If your goal is to finish a sprint triathlon, Riccitello says you don?t need to hire a coach. However, ?a simple training plan that you can pick up online for free, or for a small fee, will help give your training some direction.? He also notes that ?a good training plan should help you zero in on the work necessary to help you realize your goal ? to finish a sprint triathlon, not to win a gold medal in the Olympics or crush Chrissie Wellington in the Ironman.? Can I do triathlon even if I?m not a good swimmer? In a word, yes. ?You do not have to be a ?good? swimmer, but you do have to be able to swim,? says Riccitello, adding that you should be able to swim the length of a 50-meter pool without the aid of a flotation device, including (but not limited to) floaties, a life raft, a wetsuit or those noodle thingies that they use in water aerobics class. He notes that learning how to swim later in life is much easier than many think, and that taking lessons or hiring a swim coach will speed up the process. ?And once you learn how to swim, you should take some time to get comfortable in the open water versus a pool. I know I?ve said that a sprint triathlon is a welcoming distance, but I?ve seen more safety issues in the swim than the bike and run combined. So be sure to do your homework with regard to the swim ? then jump in with both feet!? Triathlete: Embarrassing lessons from the pros Any tips for a fast transition? You?ll want to use a colorful towel or triathlon mat to clearly mark your spot in the crowded transition area. For the swim-bike transition (T1), start pulling down your wetsuit and remove your cap and goggles as you run to transition. Before the race, unbuckle your helmet strap and prop it on top of your bike handlebars with your sunglasses inside; also make sure that the Velcro straps to your cycling shoes are free. For the bike-run transition (T2), have your running shoes (with race laces), racing belt, any nutritional drinks, gels or blocks and a hat (if you use one) laid out on the towel for a quick grab-and-go. Put on the belt as you run out of transition (or before the bike leg if the race requires it). Filed under: 2012 Fit Nation Triathlon Challenge , Triathlete.com Tagged: Julia Polloreno ? Triathlete

Business Continuity and BS 25999 | E RADAR | Smarter business ...

Continued operations in the event of a disruption, whether due to a major disaster or a minor incident, is a fundamental requirement for any organization.?Business continuity management (BCM) is a process that helps organisations to manage risks to the smooth running of an organisation or delivery of a service, ensuring continuity of critical functions in the event of a disruption, and effective recovery afterwards.

Governments spearhead policies to protect the nation?s infrastructures, such as digital communications, energy supply and transport in the event of disaster. For example, in the UK the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 sets out the national procedures that are in place to deal with civil emergencies.

Business decision makers must have contingency plans in place to protect high risk environments such as finance, telecommunications, transport and the public sector, where the ability to continue operating is paramount for the organization itself and its customers and stakeholders.?Keeping your business going during the most challenging and unexpected circumstances ? protecting your staff, preserving your reputation and providing the ability to continue to operate and trade is crucial to continued growth and success.

Imagine what might happen if your critical business systems and networks were water damaged due to flooding, power failed because of a terrorist attack, or IT staff was off work due to a flu epidemic. Good BCM helps organisations identify their key products and services, threats to these, planning and prompt resumption of service helping to protect market share, reputation and brand.

The key objective of any business continuity/disaster recovery plan is the ability to duplicate, isolate and then (importantly) to be able to restore critical business data and functions in a way which will allow your business to continue to operate effectively if the worst happens.

However, a business continuity/disaster recovery strategy is worthless unless it actually works in practice. We know of far too many instances where businesses have tried to restore their data from back-up files, only to find that their data is corrupted, only partly recorded or that there are unforseen incompatibilities between their back-up devices and their network storage systems. Either way, a critical part of a sound disaster recovery strategy is having 100% certainty that your back-up data can actually be recovered and that your business systems can be fully restored.

A well-structured and fully tested disaster recovery plan will provide employees and managers with the confidence that if the worst happens, steps are already in place to ensure that business will continue, orders can be taken and staff will be paid. To that end, you should identify and take steps to protect areas of your business which would be critical to its continued survival. These could include:

  • Order book and/or resource planning system

?

Much of this list will depend on the precise nature of the business concerned. However, you will also need to consider (if you haven?t already) the practical side of how you intend to keep your data safe so that it can be accessed quickly and restored efficiently in the event of an emergency. ?Think about where your server is based and whether you can easily retrieve your information from another country, especially if you are using the cloud

You should consider the following basic techniques for ensuring data is both adequately protected and readily available:

  • Business data copied to tape/removable disk and stored away from business premises (this should be a daily or weekly practice)
  • Copy backup data to an off-site location via a network link ? this generally involves the use of ?storage area network? technology
  • High availability systems which keep both the data and system replicated and ?mirrored? off-site, enabling continuous access to systems and data.
  • Get board-level buy-in - top-level buy-in disseminates the importance of BCM throughout the organisation. Engaging senior staff is crucial to the success of any major programme because of the influence they have over resource allocation and the culture of an organisation.
  • Understanding the organisation - before writing plans, understand your business, including its products and services, and the impact any failure might have on their delivery using Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
  • Developing plans?-?incident management plans allow the organisation to manage the initial impact of an event, for example staff evacuation or media response. The business continuity plan allows the organisation to maintain or recover the delivery of the key products and services that the BIA identified.
  • Exercising plans - plans cannot be considered reliable until they are exercised and have proved to be workable. Exercising should involve: validating plans; rehearsing key staff; and testing systems which are relied upon to deliver resilience (e.g. uninterrupted power supply). Review the plans regularly
  • Training and awareness - make sure all relevant workers (employees, contractors and consultants) know what is going on.

BS 25999 comprises two parts:

Being independently certified to the BS 25999 Part 2 by BSI Group, an independent third-party, will be the ultimate assurance to your stakeholders that you comply with BCM best practice.

Performing arts centre project gets new life - Strathroy Age Dispatch ...

Posted 1 day ago

A commitment from the municipality has given a local performing arts project new life and focus.

Strathroy-Caradoc council approved a request by the Strathroy Wright Family Performing Arts and Entertainment Centre Foundation to extend their commitment not sell the vacant lots located on Front Street.

According to Dr. Mary Wright, her group is in the process of forming a foundation to support the establishment and operation of a performing arts centre in the downtown core.

?The vacant lots are the ideal spot for the centre,? said Dr. Wright. ?All the preliminary work already completed is based on that site.?

Nokia Morph patent application raises hope well beyond expectation

Image
Remember Nokia Morph? It's the Finnish manufacturer's long-standing project to build a transparent, flexible phone that you can contort to your hearts content. Now the company's submitting a second missive to the Patent and Trademark office in the hope of claiming dibs on the IP contained therein. While it's very broadly written (and doesn't commit to anything), it's interesting to note that the phone would switch between the leaf-shaped candybar (we played with it at MWC) and a wristband you can wear on the go. The patent also talks about a "remote processing unit," in a nearby device or in the cloud, so, if the company can ever turn the dream into reality, the real action will be handled elsewhere. Then again, it's equally as likely to never appear in our lifetimes, you just never can tell with patents.

Trademark Infringement Tips: What to Do If Your Mark is Being ...

Once you identify someone, whom you believe is engaging in trademark infringement on your marks, you need to understand what to do next.

You have several options if you find that some third party is infringing your name or brand mark.? The first thing you need to do is assess how serious the claim of infringement might be.? An experienced trademark attorney will be able to help you understand the merits of your claim and what possible defenses might arise.? It is critical that you fully understand the merits of a potential claim for trademark infringement before sending a notice letter, threat letter, or filing a trademark infringement lawsuit.? Asserting rights in a name which you do not truly own, or try to extend your trademark rights beyond what is permitted by trademark law could backfire.? Your trademark infringement notice letter could result in a trademark infringement threat letter back against you.

Assuming that a competent trademark lawyer believes you have adequate rights to assert a claim of infringement, your next step will be to determine whether to send a trademark notice letter or a trademark infringement threat letter.? The difference between the two is subtle yet important.? A notice letter is much more friendly in tone.? It seeks to advise the other party that there is a potential problem.? The letter puts the third party on notice of your trademark claims and exclusive rights.? Typically, a notice letter will invite discussion.

A trademark infringement threat letter tends to be much more aggressive and confrontational in tone.? It will not only advise of your superior trademark rights, but demand immediate steps be taken to avoid any further infringement.? A threat letter may also make an immediate claim for damages based on prior infringement.

Google Maps updated, 50 billion kilometers navigated

Google Maps

Google continues to add features to its Maps service for mobile, and the latest version of Google Maps for Android adds in a couple of small changes which may make it easier to get around. First up, there's a new home screen for Google Maps Navigation on Android 4.0 devices. Secondly, Google's improved the way Maps works on phones with high resolution displays, like the Galaxy Nexus, and optimized the way text and vector graphics are shown on these devices. Finally, you can now prioritize a particular mode of public transport when getting directions, and specify fewer transfers or less walking depending on your preferences. Google says that public transport schedules and directions are now available for 475 cities around the world.

Along with today's update comes the news that Android users have navigated 50 billion kilometers To give a little perspective, Google points out that's ten times the distance from Earth to Neptune, the farthest planet from the Sun. As Maps for Android approaches its fourth birthday, it remains a major differentiating feature for Google's OS. In the very unlikely event that you're not already using it, you can find Google Play Store links after the break.

SolarCity Charges Into Home Efficiency With Admirals Bank ? Mask ...

The solar energy industry was still bemoaning the high upfront costs of rooftop solar installations when SolarCity helped pioneer the solar lease, which has virtually eliminated that hurdle. Now, with financial backing from Admirals Bank, SolarCity has set out to do the same thing for the home energy efficiency upgrade business.

?By making energy-saving measures more accessible and affordable,? said SolarCity CEO Lyndon Rive, ?we?re doing for energy efficiency what we?ve done for solar power.?

Taking advantage of the new Boston-based Admirals Bank backing, SolarCity is expanding its energy efficiency service, which it began offering in addition to rooftop solar installations in 2010, to customers in Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Washington, D.C. The company already has 5,000-plus efficiency projects completed or underway in Arizona, California, Colorado, Oregon and Texas.

?We?re trying to bring our customers a full range of clean, affordable alternatives to utility power,? explained SolarCity spokesperson Jonathan Bass. Electricity generated by fossil fuels for a single home, a federal study found, puts more carbon dioxide into the air than two average cars.

Admirals Bank, a federal savings bank with a history as a home improvement lender, will make available between $2,500 and $15,000 per customer, Bass said. That should readily meet the cost of the typical upgrade which, according to SolarCity Manager of Energy Efficiency Services Levi Blankenship, is between $4,000 and $12,000. That investment, Blankenship added, typically reduces a homeowner?s combined natural gas and electricity costs twenty to 50 percent.

A Department of Energy (DOE) study found that the U.S. spends $241 million yearly on home energy bills. That?s one in five of the dollars the U.S. spends on energy. It is an average of $1,900 per family.

?We saw with solar that if we reduce or eliminate the upfront costs,? Bass explained, ?it makes it available to a new set of customers.? The company?s expectation is that the same thing will happen with energy efficiency.

The SolarCity process begins, Blankenship said, with an on-site home energy evaluation that diagnoses the cause of high utility bills and energy losses. Proprietary SolarCity software does four billion-plus calculations for each home evaluation and produces a report across nine efficiency categories. SolarCity uses the report to prioritize recommended home improvement options based on energy and cost savings.

?Typically,? Blankenship said. ?There two categories of improvements.? Over half a building?s energy consumption is for ?space conditioning,? he explained, ?either heating or cooling. So the building shell, or envelope, is a huge component.?

A SolarCity 250-home analysis, incorporating DOE statistics, found that about $40 of every $100 spent on heating and cooling is lost to duct and air leakage. In their evaluation, SolarCity people identify the amount of ?re-insulation? and ?air sealing? needed ?to retain heat in the winter and keep it out in the summer so that the furnace and air conditioner do not need to run as often.?

Once they are sure the building shell is efficient, Blankenship said, ?we turn our attention to the mechanical equipment itself. The furnace, the air conditioner, the heat pump, the water heater, the equipment that provides conditioned air. We want to be sure it is efficient and sized for the house.?

It is ?the granularity of the software evaluation,? Blankenship added, ?that makes it possible for us to eliminate client and confusion concerns that may have slowed adoption in the past. The software, coupled with the loans that will make it possible to eliminate upfront costs, is really exciting.?

SolarCity?s efficiency financing already supports a range of local energy efficiency loan and rebate programs. The Admirals Bank-backed Home Energy Loan financing option is expected to further reduce and/or eliminate the upfront cost of energy efficiency upgrades.

?We will work with programs that are out there in our service territories and direct our customers to the best option for them,? Bass said. ?But in places where there is no efficiency program, we wanted to give customers the option of evaluations and upgrades.?

SolarCity and Admirals Bank intend to make the loan process as convenient and accessible for customers as possible. Eligible customers will be able to choose between a one-year ?Save Now, Pay Later? option and 3-year or 10-year ?Pay As You Go? options. The one-year option can be interest-free.

?Commonly, there are utility, county, and/or state rebate programs but the rebates don?t get paid immediately. There can be a several month lag.? The one year option gives homeowners time to collect and use the rebates and pay off the balance without incurring interest charges. ?If the loan is repaid within one year,? Bass explained, ?there is no interest.?

?And they start saving energy and money right way,? Blankenship added.

Asian Women -Ideas For Women of all ages ? How To Flirt With A ...

Asking yourself how to preserve romance in your connection? Why can?t you do the crazy stuff that you utilized to do when you had been newly attached? Arrange for trips and outings as you used to do when enjoy was at its climax. Take a stroll with each other when you are each free of charge and engage in this kind of talks that re-reside the memories of the past and fantastic outdated days of your courtship. You may hold your partner, kiss, hug or even take a shower together, these are the frequent strategies that make your romance daily life refreshed and strengthened. Romance is the vital to an effective connection and every person engaged in a romance ought to need to continue to keep it romantic and actual.

In any serious romance among a guy and a girl, appreciate and romance at all times comes into the picture like two peas in a pod.&nbspMost men and women normally associate love with romance or the other way about.&nbspBut can adore exist without the need of romance or can romance exist not having appreciate?&nbsp

What is like?&nbspIn a previous write-up I wrote, enjoy was described as unfathomable or profound.&nbspIt is a prolonged lasting and extreme feeling of attraction for a different person that has no parameters, no boundaries or no limits.&nbspWhat then is romance?&nbspSome describe romance as an imaginative state of thoughts.&nbspIt is a dreamy and romantic feeling which tends to be excitingly and intensely directed to a further man or woman.&nbsp

So when love and romance is brought into a partnership then it blends into a prolonged lasting and excitingly extreme dreamy feeling of attraction directed to yet another man or woman with out limits.&nbspLove and romance is then a should in any romantic relationship to preserve it alive.&nbspTake a search at some really like and romance strategies that will keep a partnership alive
There are a great deal of like and romance techniques describing how to demonstrate adore and how to stir up the romance with your companion.&nbspHowever, all these ideas will not be successful if you are both performing them out of like and while not the passion to maintain the relationship alive.&nbsp

You have heard communication is crucial for relationships, romance, and appreciate. Properly, I take this a step further. Communication is the romantic relationship. Communication connects individuals. You can do neither when communication is nonexistent.

How do you preserve or create a powerful romance when you fail to communicate? You cannot. Just as a bridge connects two adjacent objects together, so does our verbal and nonverbal messages connect two everyday people simply because a partnership basically suggests the shared connection. Lengthy distance relationships commonly fail considering that of a lack of connection, but they can do the job because the two persons connect and communicate with a single one more (both that, or their earlier connection was so powerful it keeps them collectively).

Now you know that communication is the romance, there are a lot of other surprising added benefits in bettering your communication. Most days we talk with individuals about shallow or logical difficulties. These can be discussions about what happened at operate, what chores have to have to be done, and that stupid coworker who keeps annoying you. Though intimacy can arise from talking about this, mainly because the mere act of communication connects people, you will be extra intimate when the two of you converse on matters related significantly more strongly to your emotions.

You will be shocked at how very much you really like relationships and love lifestyle when you find out to talk about important things you or the other man or woman have an emotional attachment to. You don?t necessarily have to talk about passions and ambitions due to the fact you can also have an emotional attachment to complications and ache. Discussing these darker features with a spouse, loved ones member, and ? dare I mention ? your boss will connect the two of you together when every celebration is open.
