Tanaka Farms began with great-grandfather Teruo who immigrated from Hiroshima-ken, Japan. After making the arduous journey to California his son, grandfather George, was born in Dinuba. Farmer Tanaka is a "Sansei" a 3rd generation Japanese American who was born and raised in Huntington Beach, California and has a degree in Agricultural Business.
Farmer Tanaka, his wife, Shirley, and his son, Farmer Kenny, own and operate Tanaka Farms, which is an authentic working farm. The farm's 30 acres produces fruits and vegetables that supply an amazing produce stand and provide for a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program and various educational tours serving over 35,000 local children each year.
In 1998, Tanaka Farms decided to go to Responsible Farming Methods after land development forced them to move the farming operation from Irvine Center Drive and Bake Parkway. The farm is now situated in a valley in the heart of Irvine. It's hard to believe that this beautiful farm can exist among all of the development in Orange County!
Tanaka Farms has partnered with MaxLove Project to offer essential and empowering farm visits to MaxLove Project families. We're proud to partner with Tanaka Farms to offer this incredible community event and to build our empowering food literary programs together.

Culinary medicine is the practice of using real food to restore health, reduce side effects of conventional treatments, and improve quality of life. But it can only be effective through culinary education, positive social support, and rigorous nutrition research. This is where the Gold Apron Society impacts thousands of childhood cancer families.
Founded by MaxLove Project, the Gold Apron Society gives leading chefs and professionals in the hospitality industry a platform for championing culinary medicine in the fight against cancer. Together we understand that culinary literacy and real food are powerful tools that can improve quality of life and lower health risks for all cancer patients and survivors.
Our chef and restaurant partners are leaders in our communities who recognize the value of food as medicine. They are using their unique skills and talents to take a stand in support of essential culinary medicine education and research to further our understanding of the role of nutrition in fighting cancer.

NEWTOWN, Conn. — Not long ago, officials here promoted their public schools at conventions and conferences across the state, printing newsletters detailing "the highlight of Newtown." The students were among the state's best; the teachers were highly rated. The town had always revolved around its seven public schools — and that was true again Sunday.
One school was the crime scene.
One hosted the prayer vigil.
One more served as the local "crisis center."
And inside another school, located just a mile from Sandy Hook Elementary, the teachers and administrators who had survived a mass shooting gathered for their first staff meeting since the attack. They met in a room in the back of Reed Intermediate School, behind locked doors, state troopers and a flag at half-staff. A team of grief counselors drove from a hospital in nearby Danbury to speak with them. The Red Cross donated trays of food and rolling bins filled with teddy bears.
For about two hours, the teachers spoke with counselors and shared in their grief. They remembered the 20 students and six colleagues who were killed Friday. They spoke about the horrors they had prevented and the horrors they had witnessed. And then, near the end of the meeting, they spoke again about teaching.
In the days ahead, schools in Newtown will once again become schools, and teachers will once again teach. Administrators at Sandy Hook have already found a likely replacement school — a vacant building that is structurally sound but filled with mothballs in nearby Monroe — where students and teachers will restart class in a few weeks. "Minute by minute, we will try to get back to the familiar," Sandy Hook teacher Janet Vollmer said.
But what if the familiar has changed?
Across the country Sunday night, teachers and administrators began preparing to return to their classrooms Monday morning, a weekly routine that suddenly amounted to an act of resiliency, a small test of courage. Schools across Connecticut arranged for extra security as a precaution. Principals reviewed emergency preparedness documents with their staffs. Teachers in Newtown planned to meet as a group Monday about the best ways to reassure their students, even as they worried about safety themselves.
Teaching has never been a dangerous profession, but each mass shooting changes classrooms in subtle ways. Even before Friday's shooting, Sandy Hook adhered to the intensifying security rhythms of American education in the past two decades: More surveillance cameras. More threat codes issued over the loud speaker. More fire drills. More "high alerts" and "code reds." Sandy Hook practiced lockdowns twice each year, once to prepare for a threat coming from outside the school and once again in case of a shooter inside the hallways.
The Sandy Hook principal, Dawn Hochsprung, had recently sent a letter to parents about increased security: "Every visitor will be required to ring the doorbell at the front entrance," she wrote. First-grade teacher Vicki Soto had sent home her own class newsletter, addressed to "Dear Fantastic Families": "All volunteers will need to be fingerprinted before they can volunteer," she wrote.
None of it was enough to keep a gunman in a black vest from firing into the school's front entrance and barreling through the door.
"How can we put one foot in front of the other?" one Sandy Hook teacher wrote in an e-mail to a friend Sunday before the staff meeting. "How can we feel safe?"
That has become a recurring question in the country's public schools. It has echoed since April 20, 1999, when two armed students killed 12 classmates and one teacher at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo. Classes at that school were canceled for two weeks. When teachers returned, they had no books or materials. Academics all but ceased. The Columbine community muddled through the rest of the year in the same manner that teachers and students will attempt to endure in Newtown: awash in grief, and searching for ways to cope.
Columbine biology teacher Douglas Craft wanted his students to see that "something in life was good," so he veered from the syllabus and invited a bird lover and her hawk to come to the school auditorium and entertain the teenagers. Teacher Joe Higgins tried to busy his students with constant assignments, but then became more forgiving in his grading. "They were traumatized," he said. "They just couldn't concentrate."
English teacher Paula Reed was relieved to go back to school — until she started running into ghosts of her old self. in the classroom. She studied the notes that she had written before the shooting in the margins of her planning book. They were so purposeful, so uncomplicated. "It sort of felt like someone I'd known, but it wasn't me anymore," she said. For the next three years, Reed struggled with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Her hair fell out. She broke into hives. She had a tension headache for months and eventually took a leave of absence.
Thirteen years later, she is still teaching at Columbine, and she is still spooked by the annual intruder drill that requires her to huddle silently with students in class. "I know how long it lasts, and I know how dark it gets," she said.
It was the outcome that teachers in Newtown were already beginning to dread Sunday night.
In a house just outside of town, Dori Parniawski prepared to begin her week as a teacher at Middle Gate Elementary, just down the road from Sandy Hook. She had spent the weekend trying to avoid the news. Class at Sandy Hook had been canceled for at least a week, but she would be returning the next morning to a school that was in many ways indistinguishable. "Their classrooms look like my classrooms. Their students look like my students," she said. She had friends who taught at Sandy Hook. Her 4-year-old son was about to start school.
Throughout the weekend, Middle Gate's administration had been e-mailing her offers of free counseling and advice from therapists about how to discuss "loss, sadness or grief" with 5- and 6-year-olds. Now, as darkness began to fall Sunday night, Parniawski searched her closet for a school outfit and thought about what she would tell her students.
"I'm going to look them in the eye and be calm," she said, choosing a jacket.
"I'm going to tell them that this world has bad guys, but not very many," she said, picking out matching pants.
She had spent eight years turning her classroom into what she called a "safe space," with cushioned mats on the floor and pictures of students and their families decorating the walls. Her original lesson plan for the week had revolved around Christmas. She had bought decorative paper for the students to cut into trees and shapes. They would write their own holiday stories and make crafts to give as presents to their parents.
"Can we still do that?" she wondered.
She set out her outfit. She read the staff e-mails about the emotions she might encounter Monday morning at school. She was ready for grief. She was ready for anger and obliviousness and fear.
She was ready for work.

How can I pray for people for God to work in their lives? How can I get involved in prayer ministry?
We recently explored this at our prayer ministry training evening. Listen to Matt Frost's teaching by clicking here.
We looked at this passage from the bible, and then explained a 7 step process to help us pray for people – with the acronym TEL PAPA.
Mark 8 22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spat on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, 'Do you see anything?' 24 He looked up and said, 'I see people; they look like trees walking around.' 25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Jesus sent him home, saying, 'Don't even go into the village.'

, MEXICO CITY, Feb 27 – Elba Esther Gordillo, the head of Mexico's powerful teachers union and an influential political figure, has been arrested for allegedly embezzling funds for personal use, including plastic surgery and shopping sprees, authorities said.
Attorney General Jose Murillo Karam said Gordillo was arrested Tuesday at the airport of Toluca, in the center of the country.
Speaking to reporters, Murillo Karam said the Finance Ministry's financial analysis unit detected unusual activity that led to the discovery of multiple operations worth 2 billion pesos ($153.8 million) from accounts belonging to the National Union of Education Workers.
Authorities uncovered a complicated network of transfers, with authorities discovering the money went towards plastic surgery, shopping at luxury stores in the United States — including $3 million at one department store alone — as well as the acquisition of property and even artwork.
In addition, $2 million dollars of union money made it into accounts in Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
Gordillo, 68, has headed the union, which has some 1.4 million members and is among the largest in Latin America, since 1989. Known for her luxurious lifestyle, she was secretary general of the Institutional Revolutionary Party from 2002 to 2005.
With the strength of the union behind her, she went on to form the New Alliance party.
Her arrest, along with three others, comes a day after the enactment of education reform in this country of nearly 112 million where 64 percent of children complete elementary school.

Canada-India Youth Orchestra,Two orchestras join to become one
TORONTO, ON (Thursday, May 10) – The National Youth Orchestra of Canada (NYOC) is proudly embarking on the next phase of a unique cultural initiative to form the Canada-India Youth Orchestra (CIYO). This groundbreaking partnership brings together some of the most talented young classical orchestral musicians in Canada and India for an intensive training program in Bengaluru, India.
On May 14, 2013, 32 NYOC musicians and three faculty members will travel to Bangalore (Bengaluru), to collaborate with 35 young musicians who have been recruited by the Bangalore School of Music (BSM). As members of the CIYO, these musicians will have the unique opportunity to take part in this very prestigious program. They will enjoy master classes, one-on-one lessons with leading instructors and rehearse a challenging repertoire. The training program will culminate in a performance by the CIYO on May 25th at Bangalore's (Bengaluru's) Chowdiah Memorial Hall, under the baton of the celebrated Canadian conductor Alain Trudel.
This Canada-India partnership began last year when leading Indian musicians approached the NYOC to initiate this first ever cross-cultural mentoring program. Considered one of the leading national youth orchestras in the world, the NYOC is excited to share the knowledge and expertise that has earned it international renown.
In 2012 four Indian musicians were invited to participate in the NYOC's summer program. This included five weeks of full orchestral rehearsals, private lessons, innovative and integrated injury preventions programs and a two-week tour including performances in leading orchestral venues. This summer the NYOC is pleased to, once again, welcome three Indian students to join its intensive training session as guest musicians.
This exchange offers these young Indian musicians an unparalleled opportunity to train in a focused, pre-professional environment, and play some of the most demanding repertoires under the supervision of leading Canadian professionals. The creation of the CIYO extends this opportunity to more young musicians in India, where the chance to learn and play western orchestral music is much more limited.
The CIYO initiative also includes an outreach program at St. Mary's Orphanage in Bangalore (Bengaluru), where BSM has been instrumental in forming a brass band. Members of the CIYO will perform for the orphanage and participate in musical instruction. The young musicians of the NYOC will also bring to Bangalore (Bengaluru), donated musical instruments and music supplies for their fellow musicians from India to use on a permanent basis.
"We are so proud and honoured to travel to India as cultural ambassadors to mentor and guide these musicians as western classical music develops and grows in India," said Barbara Smith, Executive Director, National Youth Orchestra of Canada. "This collaboration is a direct reflection of the efforts governments in both our countries are making to strengthen our national ties."
"We look to an ongoing partnership with the NYOC and aim at building world class young Indian players, who will play at national and international levels in the future," said Aruna Sunderlal, Founder and Managing Trustee, the Bangalore School of Music. "The NYOC will also be instrumental in building many chamber orchestras in our country and a national youth orchestra in the future."
His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada is the Honorary Patron of the National Youth Orchestra of Canada. He was pleased to lend his support to artists, who are some of the most public ambassadors our country has.
The 2013 Canada-India Orchestral Exchange is generously sponsored by TD Bank and by a number of other donors.
About the National Youth Orchestra of Canada
For over five decades, NYOC has enjoyed an iconic reputation as Canada's orchestral finishing school, providing one of the most in-depth orchestral training programs in the country. Our tuition-free training program, which runs from June to August, provides our students with more hours of practical orchestral training in one summer than most university programs offer in one year. Approximately 1 in 3 professional orchestral musicians in Canada are alumni of NYOC.

TORONTO — Before turning the keys over to their kids, the Montreal Canadiens brain trust did not take the transition of power within the dressing room lightly.
In fact, the matter of where Brendan Gallagher would live — and who would feed him — was jokingly said to have become an "organizational crisis" after his landlord and mentor, Josh Gorges, was traded to Buffalo over the summer.

The anecdote was relayed tongue-in-cheek, but the point was well-made: Everything was carefully weighed and considered.
And as the franchise took its first strides into a new era with a season-opening 4-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday, there was a lot to like about how things looked. Every member of the new leadership group made an impact — P.K. Subban, Max Pacioretty and Tomas Plekanec all scored while Andrei Markov made Phil Kessel's night a long one — and the Habs lived up to their pre-season hype as Canada's top team.
There is a long season to be played and many speed bumps to absorb, but this a tantalizing group. If things go well, they could be a powerhouse in the NHL's weaker conference.
While there is much focus on the youth — Gallagher, Lars Eller and Alex Galchenyuk are being asked to do more — it was a savvy veteran who looked like a savvy off-season signing.
Manny Malhotra's 13 minutes may have flown well under the radar, but they gave Michel Therrien options not every coach will enjoy. For starters, they freed Plekanec up to play more offensive minutes with Galchenyuk and Gallagher because Malhotra is more than capable of handling the defensive responsibility.
The 34-year-old is one of the game's best in the faceoff dot — he was 11-5 on this night — and should help maintain a sense of calm when the heat gets turned up this season. Malhotra was already said to have spoken up in the dressing room on Wednesday for a Habs team that had also lost captain Brian Gionta since playing its last meaningful game.
Plekanec was the most dominant player on the ice, getting a lucky break on the winning goal when his pass deflected in off Leafs defenceman Stuart Percy, and the most relaxed-looking player afterwards. He was considered by some to be the front-runner to replace Gionta as captain, but instead was among the Fab Four named as alternates.
As much as the captaincy issue dominated talk in Montreal throughout the summer, it hardly seems like an issue now. Carey Price is as much the leader of the team as any of the players stamped with letters and there is something to be said for doing things by committee.
With a younger group — one learning to run after starting to walk — it is going to take time for the roles to be more clearly defined. With road games on back-to-back nights to open the season, Therrien emphasized the need for a detail-oriented game.
The sense that they accomplished that after a slow start in Toronto brought some satisfaction.
"The times we didn't do it, there were guys on the bench letting guys know saying, 'Hey, you've got to be better,"' Subban said. "I said it at the start of the year: We need 22 leaders, not four. Today it seemed like there was no passengers on our team.
"Everybody was held accountable, and everybody was holding themselves accountable and doing what they're supposed to do."
The Habs had suffered losses to Toronto in the opener each of the past two seasons and were savouring a better start this time around as they packed up for Washington. Having so many key players contribute was a nice bonus.
Plekanec even joked that it justified the decision to go with a group of alternates rather than name a captain.
"Good call by coaches, I guess, by management," he said. "Obviously it's a great honour when you're talking about the captain of the Montreal Canadiens. Being in Montreal so long I guess, a lot of people saw me as a top candidate.
"But I think they made a good call by going with the four A's. We'll figure it out next year."
In the meantime, there is opportunity to be found for everyone in the room. At the outset, anyway, this has the makings of a special season.

Series Description
8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter was a 30 minute comedy series on ABC that began as the typical mom, dad, and kids sitcom which followed the often comical trial and tribulations of family relationships and also followed the individuals into their separate lives and friendships. Then John Ritter ("Three's Company" and "Three's a Crowd") passed away suddenly. The second season found the Hennessy's dealing with the loss of their beloved husband and father. Cate Hennessey's father (James Garner of "Maverick" and "The Rockford Files fame) joined the cast along with her nephew C.J. (David Spade of "Saturday Night Live" and "Just Shoot Me"). Somehow, the cast did a wonderful job of combining the necessary dramatic theme due to Paul Hennessey's death with a continuing positive outlook about "going on" which allowed the series to remain a comedy success. (We all miss you John!)

8 Simple Rules Trivia
Prior to episode #35, "What Dad Would Want", the series had been titled, "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter". Due to Ritter's passing, the title was shortened to "8 Simple Rules".
In episode #16, "Come and Knock on Our Door", the set of John Ritter's 1977-1984 sitcom, "Three's Company" was rebuilt to the exact same specifications!
The 8 Simple Rules are:
1. If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure as heck not picking anything up.
In episode #37, "The Story of Anne Frank and Skeevy", Jim (James Garner) told Bridget (Kaley Cuoco) that her play was so important to him that he didn't even mind missing an episode of "The Rockford Files" to see it. James Garner was the star of The Rockford Files that aired from 1974-1980!
Amy Davidson ("So Little Time") played the younger sister of Kaley Cuoco ("Ladies Man" and "Charmed") on 8 Simple Rules. In real life, Amy is six years older than Kaley!

Working with Industry Partners Network Rail, Laing O'Rourke and Atkins, CSIC engaged with the Staffordshire Alliance at the early stages of this project to deploy novel fibre optic sensor (FOS) networks for use in short and long-term performance monitoring, delivering the most comprehensively instrumented new rail bridges in the UK.
Dr Niamh Gibbons, said: "The integration of sensors at the manufacturing and construction stages is a significant change in approach to bridge monitoring and is a key part of developing smarter infrastructure. It will allow us to monitor the evolution of our structures in huge detail over their entire lifetimes."
This innovation represents a step-change in condition monitoring, which has the potential to influence maintenance practices and structural design codes. The technology can help redefine best practice, making structures of the future safer, more reliable, more efficient and more cost effective.
CSIC's Dr Liam Butler said: "This project has demonstrated that real and tangible innovations are possible when industry and academia work together. With the digitisation of the rail network and the far-reaching potential of the internet of things, self-sensing infrastructure which enables remote and real-time data-driven decision making will become critical components of future railways."
The Staffordshire Alliance of VolkerRail, Atkins, Laing O'Rourke and Network Rail has also been shortlisted for the Outstanding Projects category for the £250m Staffordshire Area Improvements Programme, which saw line-speed improvements from Stafford to Crewe, re-signalling around Stafford and the scheme's largest project near Norton Bridge, which involved building six miles of new railway and 11 bridges in the Staffordshire countryside.
The winners will be announced at the UKRIA awards ceremony in London on 9 February.

Vivesco Café first opened its doors 18 years ago on Tulketh Street, with the aim of sharing God's love in the community and as a safe meeting place for teenagers in the evenings.
Opening hours
Monday–Friday: 10am–3.30pm
Saturday: 9am–4pm
Named in honour of Vivien Dawson, a beloved member of Christ Church who lost her life to cancer, Vivesco aptly means "Come to life" in Latin. We are both a registered charity and limited company with trustees and directors.
Twelve years ago we moved Vivesco Café into the Christ Church building and our emphasis changed into meeting the needs of those who cross our doorstep each day. We aim not only to serve good food, but also to serve God's love, offering a safe threshold to cross into church life and ultimately find a living faith in Jesus. We seek to offer a warm welcome, friendship and prayer where appropriate.
Our café doors are open six days a week throughout the year with a small nucleus of paid staff, supported by volunteers. The directors are very grateful to all who give their time and energy to help support this valuable ministry and welcome anyone who would like to be involved.

Maytag MDB4709PAB Review
If you're looking for a low-cost dishwasher and don't mind a slightly less efficient machine, the MDB4709PAB is one to consider.
Okay, we have to admit: This Maytag took us by surprise. Most dishwashers that sell for close to this one's $499 MSRP are pretty average. And while the MDB4709PAB is certainly average in regards to design, features, and usability, it had some mighty impressive performance scores.
However, it's one of the more inefficient machines we've tested when it comes to water and energy use. It also has an undeniably "cheap" feel to it—whether it's the flimsy exterior controls, boring design, or plastic interior. But if you're not concerned about any of that and just want an effective dishwasher that's cheap to buy, the MDB4709PAB is certainly one to consider.
Design & Usability
We weren't blown away by the design, but what can you expect from a $500 machine?
The MDB4709PAB isn't going to win any design awards with its reflective black exterior, front controls, and big push buttons. If you dig a retro dishwasher, then full speed ahead, young Padawan. We're not exactly moved by the design, but it's certainly not atrocious, and a stainless version costs $100 more. In fact, design only really gets on our nerves when it infringes on a product's functionality, and that's not the case here—although the control panel's responsiveness leaves something to be desired.
Aside from the interface, the MDB4709PAB is mostly an easy-to-operate machine. There is little to no adjustability in the dish racks, which may hamper efforts to fit large or oddly shaped dishware, but that didn't stop us from being able to fit a comfortable 10 place settings—putting the MDB4709PAB's capacity on par with almost every other machine in the market.
Everything you need, nothing more
The MDB4709PAB features four main wash cycles: Quick Wash, Light, Normal, and Heavy. There is also a Rinse Only cycle, which is intended for rinsing dishes in preparation for a later wash.
We found each of these cycles to be more than adequate in serving home dishwashing needs. In fact, the MDB4709PAB heated water to such high temperatures that even heavy food soils on the Light wash couldn't stand a chance.
Features-wise, this machine is somewhat limited, but there's not a whole lot to complain about. As far as wash options go, there's a Hi Temp Wash, Heated Dry, and Steam Sanitize (which reached an adequate 157.5 degrees Fahrenheit in our tests)—plus a Control Lock and a Delay option of two, four, or eight hours. All these options can be added onto individual cycles.
By far the most impressive feature of the MDB4709PAB is its wash performance.
Cleaning power is the MDB4709PAB's strongest trait—a good thing, considering the main function of a dishwasher should be to, well, wash dishes. However, the reason why the MDB4709PAB excelled so much in this area is simple: It uses a boat load of water and energy. This Maytag actually proved to be one of the most wasteful dishwashers we've tested. With the Sanitize option on, the Normal wash drained a whopping 13.72 gallons of hot water. That's almost enough to fill a beer keg. To put it in perspective, the most efficient dishwashers use about three to six gallons per wash, and often get similar performance to this Maytag.
We calculated that this dishwasher will cost you $43.57 per year to operate. More efficient machines cost nearly half that, which would save you about $100 in water and energy costs over a five year period. Consider spending that money upfront and getting a slightly more efficient dishwasher.
As inefficient—and slow—as the MDB4709PAB is, it cleans dishes very well. Many cycles were close to perfect in removing stains. While the Quick Wash was, obviously, less impressive than the others, the overall power of the MDB4709PAB was impressive to say the least. High temperatures helped to remove difficult protein-based stains such as egg, burnt cheese, dried meat, and burnt milk. Based on performance alone, we have to give this dishwasher our recommendation, even if every other factor left us hesitant.
It's cheap and gets the job done, but our recommendation is conditional.
This is a tricky one. We often say that our recommendation comes down to exactly what you're looking for in a dishwasher—efficiency, cost, design, performance—but the Maytag MDB4709PAB's shortcomings are as great as its strengths, so it's difficult to say. Yes, this machine is extremely good at removing stains from your dishes. But, man, is it inefficient—one of the most wasteful machines we've ever come across. Also, it looks and feels cheap.
So if all you care about is getting some of the best cleaning power out there in a $500 dishwasher, then pull the trigger. If you care even remotely about design, environmental impact, wash options, or your utility bill, you may want to look elsewhere.

St. Andrew Apostle Parish joins archdiocesan outreach for hurricane victims
Dec 18, 2017
In the months following the active hurricane season that produced Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, people throughout the Archdiocese of Washington have generously given to parish, school and archdiocesan efforts to aid the victims of the natural disasters.
Through second collections in various parishes during the months of September and October, the archdiocese has collected more than $600,000, which was distributed to the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, the Diocese of Saint Thomas in the Virgin Islands and the Archdiocese of San Juan in Puerto Rico.
In the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, 68 parish, school and archdiocesan locations reported damage in the weeks following Hurricane Harvey, with four of those locations having damage that has been categorized as "catastrophic." Those four parishes had to work quickly to find new locations for their schools and to celebrate Mass.
Around the same time as the archdiocesan-wide collection, St. Andrew Apostle Parish in Silver Spring held a Holy Hour to pray for hurricane victims. As they were praying, people began to wonder if their parish could do anything else to help the people who had been so badly affected by the hurricane season.
The parish council discussed what they could do, and decided that they wanted to do a large, sacrificial collection that would assist people on a parish-to-parish, pastor-to-pastor level. So, they began calling different dioceses that had been damaged and asking how they can help.
Each diocese recommended a parish or religious community that needed help, and St. Andrew's began to build relationships with them, starting with praying for them. Then, Father Dan Leary, St. Andrew's pastor, announced that they wished to do a large collection to support four communities in need, and asked the parishioners at Mass if they wanted to participate. The parishioners enthusiastically responded "yes," he said.
They planned to do one large, special collection in place of their usual one for the parish on the weekend of Nov. 18-19, and set a goal of raising $35,000 that would be split evenly between four communities in Texas, Puerto Rico, Dominica and the Virgin Islands.
Father Leary asked his parishioners to make sacrifices to collect money that would be donated in the collection, by doing things like giving up going out to dinner or buying expensive coffee. He also asked them to reach out to their coworkers or classmates to ask them to help.
St. Andrew's website had a section dedicated to this collection, with descriptions of the damage inflicted on each community and video messages from people there asking for their help. This ability to see the hurricanes' impacts on those communities added to the parish's desire to help, said Father Leary.
"People felt great about doing this for people," he said.
All of the communities that they helped sustained significant physical damage to their buildings, causing issues like severely damaged roofs and windows, ruined electronics, broken statues, and flooded sanctuaries.
One of the parishes they helped is Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Newtown, Dominica, which has about 500 parishioners, spanning across four communities with one main church and three chapels. Twenty percent of their parishioners lost everything as a result of Hurricane Maria, and many others were left without ceilings or windows. But through all the damage, the parish has been delivering food packages to those affected by the storm and using their parish hall as a hurricane shelter, where families have been able to live temporarily.
"Hurricane Maria has brought us to our knees. Our houses have been destroyed and our spirits are sagging," said Msgr. Williams John-Lewis in a video for the St. Andrew Apostle community. "But we are full of hope that although it is an uphill climb, Our Lady of Fatima Parish will be rebuilt, and so too our country…We will not lose our hope nor our joy or our faith, but most of all we will continue praising God."
Msgr. John-Lewis said he was planning two projects with the money they are receiving: to purchase building supplies for the families who most need them, and to rebuild the parish's pre-school.
In Yauco, Puerto Rico, a convent and other buildings used by the Dominican Sisters of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima were destroyed, including one that houses 20 sick and elderly sisters. They have no electricity, and the sisters are helping to provide food and medical services to the people most affected by the storm.
At St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Port Arthur, Texas, the floodwater in the church rose to 13 inches high and the water level in the rectory was about 18 inches high, ruining their organ, piano, pews, chairs, hymnals, Bibles, choir robes, microphone, speakers and computers, in addition to other valuables.
The Virgin Islands also sustained serious damage from both Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria. The roof and top floor was blown off of the rectory of St. Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Thomas, and at St. Ann's Church on the island of St. Croix, there is a hole in the chapel ceiling, broken windows, and the ceiling of the entire office building is gone –destroying the computers, printers and other electronic equipment there.
"At St. Ann's Church I found a people that are extremely resilient," said Father Louis Kemmayou, the parish's pastor, in his video for St. Andrew's. "I believe that talking about the hurricane experience, there are no words to describe what we lived on that night of the 19th of September…After the passage of that storm we find out the following day the devastation, and we understood the power of Mother Nature, and that what we can do is just put our trust in God."
In the end, the parishioners of St. Andrew's far exceeded their goal of $35,000, and collected $60,044 to distribute equally between these communities, including more than $6,000 raised by Mision San Andres, the parish's mission that reaches out to the Spanish-speaking community located at the McCarrick Center in Silver Spring. Father Leary said the collection at St. Andrew's was almost triple their usual weekly collection.
After receiving the check from St. Andrew's, Father Mark Ameh, the pastor of St. John the Evangelist in Port Arthur, Texas, told Father Leary, "God bless your people. You don't even know us, and you love us."
In the days following the collection, parishioners shared their stories of sacrifice with Father Leary. The donations came from the hard work of people who included a high school student who collected $900 at her school, a man who packed his lunch every day instead of buying it out, and one of the parish's altar servers who did extra chores and then donated her chore money.
"The number isn't necessarily only the blessing…more than that it's a statement as a community how much we care and how when we come together we can deeply touch people," said Father Leary in a video thanking his parishioners.
This collection also fell upon the day when the parish collected 250 boxes of food to be distributed to the Missionaries of Charity, Assumption Parish, and Catholic Charities, as well as 250 bags of food for the annual Greg Gannon Food Drive. And, the organization collecting the boxes of food received a $15 check for every box they received.
"I have no real clarity on how it happened, but it was just great," said Father Leary. "And I am happy for the people. People want to be proud of their faith and people want to be proud of being generous."

AMP, CBA Grilled Over Fees For No Service
Australia's largest wealth manager AMP has apologised for charging clients fees for financial advice they did not receive.
AMP and Australia's largest bank Commonwealth Bank are facing a grilling by the financial services royal commission over the fees for no service issue, which has also involved ANZ, Westpac and National Australia Bank.
AMP's group executive for advice Jack Regan has apologised to customers while admitting the company made untrue and misleading statements to the regulator about the problem.
The inquiry heard AMP made a deliberate decision to continue charging fees to a group of "orphan" clients for three months when they went into a central pool, despite them receiving no advice services and legal advice that it was unlawful.
The issue arose when AMP acted as a buyer of last resort, buying an adviser's client book if they were unable to sell it to another authorised AMP representative.
In some cases system errors were to blame but the inquiry heard AMP did not tell ASIC about the deliberate decision to keep charging the fees.
Mr Regan, who found problems of governance and oversight when he became head of AMP's advice businesses in January 2017, apologised for the issues.
"On behalf of AMP I apologise unreservedly for the failings in respect of advice and service delivery to our customers and for the regulatory breaches," he said in a statement to the inquiry.
But Mr Hodge questioned if AMP in fact accepted it had made regulatory breaches, given its submissions to the commission only referred to possible misconduct.
The Commonwealth Bank will also be grilled about its fee for no service issues involving its subsidiaries Commonwealth Financial Planning and Count Financial Planning.
Senior counsel assisting the commission Rowena Orr QC said often clients received no service or did not receive the service they were entitled to, yet ongoing fees continued to be deducted from their investments.
Commonwealth Financial Planning and another CBA subsidiary BW Financial Advice are paying $88.6 million in compensation to 31,500 customers who did not receive an annual review as part of their financial advice service package.
CBA CEO Matt Comyn apologised to customers on Friday, saying it was unacceptable.

Soehn to Miss Match
D.C. United Coach Tom Soehn will not guide the MLS club tonight against the Los Angeles Galaxy at RFK Stadium because of flu-like symptoms. He has undergone testing to determine whether he contracted the H1N1 virus, also known as swine flu. Results are expected Monday.
As a precaution, some team officials who work closely with Soehn have been prescribed medication. No one else associated with United has shown any similiar signs of illness.
Soehn arrived at RFK on Friday morning but did not feel well and went home before practice began. Assistants Chad Ashton and Mark Simpson will be in charge against the Galaxy.

AeroVue Touch, the latest primary flight display from BendixKing, is now available for preorder with Supplemental Type Certification documents expected to be submitted to the FAA in July 2018.
AeroVue Touch is a low-cost display available on 353 aircraft types that offers touchscreen capabilities with the highest screen resolution available in the general aviation segment today, according to company officials.
The system helps deliver improved safety by consolidating all essential flight information onto one screen, and helps reduce pilot workload by making all flight-critical functions accessible with only one or two touches on the screen, officials add.
"AeroVue Touch offers general aviation pilots one of the most functional products for the lowest cost," said Gregg Cohen, president, BendixKing. "This latest system features crystal-clear displays that provide general aviation pilots with a sleeker, more cockpit immersive experience, especially with advanced technologies like Honeywell SmartView Synthetic Vision System. AeroVue Touch also lets pilots seamlessly upload important flight information over Wi-Fi before they even take off, giving them an easier way to control the information available in the cockpit both in the air and on the ground."
The AeroVue Touch flight display features a 10.1″ screen that offers a near-4K resolution — the highest resolution available in today's general aviation segment. The system's touch technology makes the touchscreen easy to use for pilots, requiring a maximum of four touches to access any function within the software and is usable with gloves.
Infrared technology built into the display and larger buttons on the display also reduce missed touches, company officials note.
AeroVue Touch also brings greater customization for pilots by offering both full-screen and split-screen modes to access critical flight information.
Key cockpit technologies that pilots can expect as part of AeroVue Touch include Honeywell's SmartView Synthetic Vision System, 2-D and 3-D moving maps, visual flight rules sectional charts, and Instrument Flight Rules high- and low-altitude charts.
Also included in AeroVue Touch are certain free future software updates, including those for engine indicators, radios, autopilot control and more, keeping the cockpit updated with the latest developments and trends for a longer time.
Other features include:
Improved safety tools: The AeroVue primary flight display includes high-performance sensors, and comes standard with a host of safety and navigation systems, like Honeywell's SmartView Synthetic Vision System, normally found on business and commercial aviation avionics. In addition, pilots can install a remote control panel wherever they desire for greater control during turbulent situations.
Reduced pilot workload: Designed with the pilot in mind, the touchscreen reduces workload during critical phases of flight, making almost all functions accessible in one or two touches. On the ground, pilots can update databases from the internet via cell phone, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
Price: $12,590. Since only a standard panel cutout is required to install the display, pilots have lower installation costs, company officials say. All the above features are included in the base price.

Prada New Galleria BagCategories:Other Brands
We've always loved Prada bags, especially the saffiano totes. They are must haves and can't-live-without accessories once you've one locked in your wardrobe. Not long ago, Prada has launched a new range of bags called 'Galleria' with lot of promises. And it was indeed HOT as it became one of the most coveted, versatile and elegant bags that every fashionista could dreamed of. When Prada decided to release more colors, it became even more interesting. Our favorites were black, navy and white, including leathers like crocodile and ostrich for those who love to take it to the next level of luxury.
It might look like that the Galleria story has come to an end, I mean, we have the colors and leathers, what can Prada do more? You might have never expected this, but they have recently released a newer version refined with a front pocket. It's more functional but also serves as a decorative purpose. Available in one step or two tones colored leather saffiano, the new front pocket crafted is embellished with a beautiful luxurious locker. So what do you think of this new bag? Welcome from Canada Goose shop to purchase.

Louis Vuitton Introducing New Backpack CollectionCategories:Louis Vuitton
The trend of backpacks continue to climb, in fact, it's so popular that Louis Vuitton decided to launch an entire new line. Obviously, they couldn't ignore the fact that, backpacks have become hotter than the volcano.
Perhaps Chanel started this hype, with their graffiti backpacks that changed the way we dress. I mean, what's cooler in the summer than carrying a graffiti-painted, self-made charms (the ones you put together when you get bored in the classroom) bag on your back and combined with street style fashion? I was skeptical at first until I spotted a few bloggers styling it, and they looked darn good.
Naturally, three of the four new Louis Vuitton backpacks need to be printed with the iconic monogram canvas. The design is strenghtend with two buckles non the front. It features two side pockets and a handle on the top. Are you read to climb the mountain?
Another one that Louis Vuitton is going to be released, is much more streamlined. Monogram Canvas is prohibited and it features a simple bucket closure on the front. It doesn't even have side pockets. If you belief as much as I do, that simplicity is ultimate sophistication, then here you go.
Btw, the last Louis Vuitton backpack is also perfect for work. It's easy and effortless.

Not studying abroad lowers a persons chances of success in the ever-globalizing world -- and that has economic consequences.
The Cost of Not Studying Abroad Is Real
Kenneth Buff is a middle school teacher's assistant, working toward his certification in special education. He studied in Europe while attending Northern Oklahoma College.
October 17, 2013
Is study abroad worth the cost? There's no question, it's expensive. But it is an experience that can open doors, offer career possibilities that without studying abroad would be impossible, or a least a lot harder, to obtain. The question than is: At what point does the value of the experience out weigh the money spent?
It's difficult to ignore the fact that studying abroad comes at a very real price. But it's a price that can be measured both by money and by experience.
The economic price, the price of the airfare and transportation, the room, the food and the tuition cost, will vary from program to program. But the cost of not going is the same for every trip; it lowers the chances of success in the ever-globalizing world that we live in -- a world where bilingual is the international norm, and where multiculturalism is becoming the standard of our country.
