king for himself and traveling on the bus - Francis, an Argentine who was elected on Wednesday, replaces Benedict XVI, whose papacy was plagued by a series of public relations blunders at the start of his reign that offended many. Benedict angered the Muslim world with a speech in 2006 in which he appeared to endorse the view that Islam is inherently violent, sparking deadly protests in several countries as well as attacks on Christians. After being revealed to the world, Pope Francis dined with the cardinals in a Vatican residence where he thanked them for electing him but then quipped:-
"God forgive you for what you've done!"
As Damian Thompson concludes in today's Telegraph editorial page article -
"It's a shame that Cardinal Bergoglio never had the opportunity to mingle incognito in the bars of modern Dublin, where he would have found an intensity of hatred for the Catholic Church that the Gordon rioters might have recognised. Young Irish people especially can hardly mention the Church without a curl of the lip. Older folk, meanwhile, feel miserably betrayed. It's the same story in, say, Boston or Quebec. How telling that the siblings of Cardinal Ouellet, Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, no longer go to Mass regularly.
I know this is a downbeat response to what, for Catholics, is a joyful and hopeful event. But savage reform to the curia is required so that Pope Francis can (should he wish) take advantage of the successful Benedictine reforms: for example, the formation of a breed of bishop who – as the new Bishop Philip Egan of Portsmouth is demonstrating – are reclaiming their spiritual authority from hippy-generation bureaucrats and using it to promote the so-called "new evangelisation". To put it bluntly, a Church associated in the public mind with child abuse isn't likely to be good at any sort of evangelisation, new or otherwise. Nor can it face down its angry, condescending and well-informed enemies. So welcome, Holy Father. You know what needs to be done; do not stay your hand."

in his 6 months stay in hospital in Alexandria, prior to being landed at
Anzio in support of the final push of the Allied Forces to arrest control
from Mussolini and Hitler's power over ROME.
My own journey of life, having been encouraged by my mother and
her father to become confirmed into the Church of England, was one
of the discovery that GOD has NO RELIGION - consequent to my
searches for the truth of what we now have come to refer to as the
evolution of consciousness.
No closer to THE TRUTH of the theory of everything - have I found,
than in the works of Douglas Harding, and particularly following
countless hours of reading my limited edition of his...

curriculum lack of focus.
I HAVE FOREVER been bemused by the fact that - across EVERY cultural division of our species - there prevails a lack of understanding of the fact that equality and equal rights and responsibilities, DO NOT JUST apply to MEN. Regardless of belief system, as Leonardo da Vinci concluded in his codex vitae 49, towards the end of his life … “ALL IS in NATURE and WE ARE a CIRCUMSTANCE of NATURE and the GREATEST bond in LIFE is LOVE; and that should receive a fuller understanding and be the basis of righteousness in all dealings between man and woman. That is the great mystery which can provide the logic for our being in this world, and it is more substantial than the creations of machines or weapons.” THE Universal Law of Gender IS the expression of YIN & YANG, otherwise termed the feminine/solar and masculine/lunar. The law states that these two principles reside WITHIN ALL THINGS, and IT IS through these principles that HUMANITY is ABLE to CREATE. THE Universal Law of Gender is the CREATIVE FORCE that runs from the inner into the outer world. IT IS the force of the ONE & ONLY GOD, whatever GOD is perceived to be. It creates LIFE, even that which is born into the solidity of the physical manifestation of our planet of THINGS; for both of the principles of YIN and YANG, in ABSOLUTE BALANCE & HARMONY, must be present to BUILD and to MANIFEST in our multi-dimensional reality, as well.

ity objective. This sentence from Critical Path (page 206) which was first published over four decades ago, launched the GENI project. Because or y[OUR] support, many energy planners and policy makers around the world are now aware of this powerful vision and are advocating projects on every continent.
Buckminster Fuller, the source of this vision, would have been 100 years old on July 12, 1995. To honor and give tribute to the man Called the Leonardo Da Vinci of our century, GENI co-hosted a three-day Centennial Symposium and Celebration in San Diego. Bucky said that we wore all born geniuses--but were damaged in our youth by our environment and societal ignorance of humanity's option to make it. With this event, we invite you to Rediscover the GENIus in us all.
You will get to play the World Game and engage in the fundamental question: How do we make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological damage or the disadvantage to anyone?

ll Mollison of Tasmania, Australia in the early 1970s to mean Permanent Agriculture or Permanent Culture. David Holmgren was a collaborator in this venture. Dr. Mollison was awarded the Right Livelihood Award (otherwise known as the Alternative Nobel Prize) in 1981, for this contribution in the search for alternatives.
It was initially conceived as a framework for a more permanent basis for agriculture rather than just the raising of annual crops. The idea was a beneficial assembly of multi-crop elements of perennial trees, shrubs, annuals (food crops), herbs, vegetables, useful weeds, fungi, tuber crops with integration of animals, aimed towards household and community self-reliance for food sufficiency.
However, Permaculture has now come to mean much more than food sufficiency at household level, for, self-sufficiency in food becomes meaningless unless people have access to land, information and financial resources. Today Permaculture has come to mean a whole life system encompassing various strategies for people to acquire all those resources, including access to land needed to evolve self-financing and self- managed systems to provide for all their material and non-material needs, without depleting, polluting and destroying the natural resources of the biosphere.
Central to Permaculture is the relationship humans should have towards natural resources and their wise, ethical and judicious utilization so that posterity is not saddled with the consequences of our irresponsible conduct. Today Permaculture has made a start all over the world, in some aspect or other, on some issue or other. Except in three countries of the world (Uruguay, Afghanistan and one African country) there are Permaculture groups, organizations, and individuals undertaking efforts, howsoever small to repair the Earth and become more responsible for their actions and enabling others to do likewise.

At the time of the IPO in 1998, the company name was changed to "ARM Holdings", often just called ARM like the processors. Japanese telecommunications company SoftBank Group made an agreed offer for ARM on 18 July 2016, subject to approval by ARM's shareholders, valuing the company at £23.4 billion (US$32 billion). The transaction was completed on 5 September 2016.
