The White Dove by Lois Thompson Bartholomew
Princess, Patriot, Prisoner. Now Tasha must set her feet on an even more dangerous path to join the man she loves in a fight for freedom.
The old man turned his chair so that he was by her side. "I have a gift," he said simply. "For you and the child."
He pressed a small bundle into her palm. Without looking she knew what the old man had given her. It was a necklace, a braided chain of rawhide fastened to a small wooden dove, its wings outstretched in a flight to freedom. She and Raina had not been forgotten.
"…Readers will not want to put this book down. Accounts of treachery, deceit, and truth rewarded fill this novel. Escaping from caves and a dungeon, Tasha's determination to oust Com and rejoin the rebels gives her the courage to strive for her personal freedom and the freedom of her country. Boundless determination, hope, and desire put into action—these are the messages here." Copyright 2000 Kirkus Associates, All rights reserved. Starred review.
"The White Dove captures your imagination and takes you to another time. You travel the journey for freedom from tyranny and get lost in the struggles of Tasha. A perfect book for young readers or readers of any age. You will not want to set it down but keep reading until you turn the last page." Stephanie Gerla
"The White Dove is both a good old-fashioned adventure tale and a modern fantasy with a strong female protagonist. Tasha is the daughter of a principled king who abdicated the throne because he believed in democracy, not aristocracy. Now Tasha's father is dead and another man, Comnor, is falsely claiming to be king. No overindulged princess, Tasha aligns herself with the Resistance and actively fights for her father's dreams. This fast-paced book combines the accessibility of contemporary fiction with the stateliness of the old classics." Nancy Loewen

Pacific Ocean Contribution to the Asymmetry in Eastern Indian Ocean Variability
Ummenhoffer, CC and Schwarzkopf, FU and Meyers, GA and Behrens, E and Biastoch, A and Boning, CW, Pacific Ocean Contribution to the Asymmetry in Eastern Indian Ocean Variability, Journal of Climate, 26, (4) pp. 1152-1171. ISSN 0894-8755 (2013) [Refereed Article]

Variations in eastern Indian Ocean upper-ocean thermal properties are assessed for the period 19702004, with a particular focus on asymmetric features related to opposite phases of Indian Ocean dipole events, using high-resolution ocean model hindcasts. Sensitivity experiments, where interannual atmospheric forcing variability is restricted to the Indian or Pacific Ocean only, support the interpretation of forcing mechanisms for large-scale asymmetric behavior in eastern Indian Ocean variability. Years are classified according to eastern Indian Ocean subsurface heat content (HC) as proxy of thermocline variations. Years characterized by an anomalous lowHCfeature a zonal gradient in upper-ocean properties near the equator,while high events have a meridional gradient from the tropics into the subtropics. The spatial and temporal characteristics of the seasonal evolution of HC anomalies for the two cases is distinct, as is the relative contribution from Indian Ocean atmospheric forcing versus remote influences from Pacific wind forcing: low events develop rapidly during austral winter/spring in response to Indian Ocean wind forcing associated with an enhanced southeasterly monsoon driving coastal upwelling and a shoaling thermocline in the east; in contrast, formation of an anomalous high eastern Indian Ocean HC is more gradual, with anomalies earlier in the year expanding from the Indonesian Throughflow(ITF) region, initiated by remote Pacificwind forcing, and transmitted through the ITF via coastal wave dynamics. Implications for seasonal predictions arise with high HC events offering extended lead times for predicting thermocline variations and upper-ocean properties across the eastern Indian Ocean.

The collapse in the Bronx
The New York Yankees have seen a dramatic collapse in the month of August.
More stories from Jonathan Albers
February 3, 2023
January 27, 2023
January 24, 2023
The New York Yankees started off the 2022 season red hot. Led by slugging outfielder Aaron Judge, the Yankees looked like they were going to run away with the highly competitive AL East. Now, here we are in early September. The Yankees are ice cold and the Tampa Bay Rays are only five games back for the division lead. How did we get here? What lead to the collapse of the New York Yankees?
There are a lot of people to blame for this collapse, but Judge is not one of those people. Virtually everyone around Judge has had trouble in the past month. For example, Aroldis Chapman started out the season as cold as ice. He was then placed on the I.L., and struggled still upon returning. The man who replaced Chapman as the closer is Clay Holmes. Holmes was a big part of the Yankees success early in the season. Even breaking Yankees legendary closer Mariono Rivera's record of 28 straight scoreless innings. In Holmes last 30 games, he is sporting a 4.13 ERA which is very inflated compared to his hot start. Even more concerning is when you look at Holmes last 15 games, where he has an enormous 7.13 ERA. Holmes will have to step back into his early season form if the Yankees are going to break the losing trend.
Another key part of the Yankees is catcher Jose Trevino, and he has had a steep decline in production. Trevino is hitting .245 with a .267 OBP and .367 slugging over his last 30 games. Former MVP Josh Donaldson has a very unproductive stat line that is very similar to Trevino's over his last 30 games. Over the last month, the overall production from the Yankees lineup hasn't been impressive (other than Judge of course).
The Yankees are still in first place with a semi-comfortable division lead of five games. They've recently won 3 out of 4 in a series against the Twins. They seem to be on the up climb lately. If the Yankees can get and stay hot heading into the playoffs they will be a tough team to beat. If they stay cold, it might be another early exit for the Bronx Bombers.
Jonathan Albers is a student and athlete at Corry Area High School. He is a captain on the swim team and a Varsity player on the baseball team....

I was sitting in church listening to my son-in-law pastor expound away on the narrative of the Golden Calf (Exodus 32). For the oddest reasons, Donald Trump kept popping into my mind.
The people of God are making a golden calf, worshiping it, dancing around it, saying, "These are the gods who brought us up out of Egypt." When Moses returns from his holy encounter with God on the mountain, he is angry. But when he realizes how much angrier God is, Moses becomes the peace-maker between God and an-about-to-be-deep-fried people.
So here's the story: the people have gold because they plundered the Egyptians on the way out of town. I don't know how to read this. It could be distributive justice for slaves who worked without fair remuneration, or it could be that the Egyptians were terrified of the God of these hands-out people. It might be God's provision for His people on the long haul through the wilderness. I really don't know.
But I suspect that in their culture, it was a sign of victory—the God of Israel had defeated the gods of Egypt and taken the spoil of war. However you read it, these people have gold because of their God. And with it, they make a golden calf god and attribute their freedom to it. Then, they offer it their worship, just like they did to the living God who had actually moved heaven and earth to set them free.
So, why am I thinking about Donald as my pastor examines this passage? Ill-gotten gain? The worship of gold? The making of gods of gold in casinos and towers and plazas and jets? Taking bits and pieces of religious language/practices and submitting them to a new savior?
Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out why my mind connected these two. Maybe Donald's popularity says more about us than it does about him. When there is no Moses in the camp, we fashion our leaders out of what dazzles us. And apparently gold really dazzles us.
As the story plays out in Scripture, the gold is ground into a powder, mixed with water, and the people are forced to drink it. I suppose it becomes expensive excrement a few days later. Like the Israelites, we end up consuming the gods we construct. As they pass through us, they become worthless. I suppose we are really hungry for a national savior in the upcoming election. Lacking one, we will fashion our own.
I think I'll wait for Moses to return from the smoking mountain.

@NeilApeStrong & @CrusherApe from BUSTaBNB dropped by to talk to @CryptoGirlfriend about their new project, as well as to discuss their plans for the future. To celebrate the BUSTaBNB AMA, five members from the community who take part in the question-and-answer segment at the end will be selected to win a share of prizes worth $200!
BUSTaBNB Interview
CryptoGirlfriend☆: Welcome everyone! I am going to be the AMA host today. A few housekeeping items before we get started. I will mute the chat during the AMA with BUSTaBNB. After my round of questions then I will open up the chat for everyone to submit their questions. We have a $200 prize pool today, so that will be $40 to the top 5x questions that are selected!
Welcome @NeilApeStrong & @CrusherApe. Thank you for being here with us today to discuss your project on BSC.
Neil ApeStrong: Hey there @CryptoGrlfriend, thanks very much for having us on BSC Times!
I'm Neil ApeStrong, General Manager of BUSTaBNB and I believe you already know Crusher from other projects such as APEcoin & MemeFarm.io
Crusher 💩💰✊: Hey there CGF, great to see you working with the BSC Times team!
CryptoGirlfriend☆: Great to meet you Neil Apestrong, and yes Crusher and I have known each other for a while now!
CryptoGirlfriend☆: Yes love working with this team for sure 🙂
So how about we start out with you guys giving us a brief rundown of the BUSTaBNB project?
Neil ApeStrong: Yes no problem! So BUSTaBNB is a fully immersive iGaming and DeFi platform built on Binance Smart Chain.
It is an enormous and ambitious ecosystem which will soon be populated by multiple games and tokens. Accompanied by it's own DEX, staking pools, affiliate and partner programs, and a DAO, it is truly unique in it's intricately weaved architecture.
It is capable of huge horizontal and vertical growth and expandability, while keeping all profit cycling within the ecosystem itself and managed by the community via the DAO.
Alongside all that is an ever-expanding universe of characters, backstory and lore to add to the fun and immersiveness of the ecosystem
CryptoGirlfriend☆: Wow, sounds like you have enough to keep you very busy there! Very impressive. As I understand it there has been a lot of anticipation for this project, so could we maybe dive a little deeper for the benefit of those seeing the project with fresh eyes?
Neil ApeStrong: Sure thing! The entire project is huge and complex but we can break it down to the 5x primary components of the BUST ecosystem..
- An iGaming platform, beginning with our first game "BUSTaCRASH" in July 2021 and expanding with more games as we grow
- The trading and staking module, which is our own custom built niche DEX / yieldfarm for trading / staking $BUST and our partner tokens
- Our affiliate program. We take a three-pronged approach to growing our user base through referral links where both the referrer and referee can benefit from a constant stream of passive income from the iGaming platform, trading on the DEX, and collecting farming rewards
- We have a partnership portal where partners can list their tokens on our platform to enjoy constant burn pressure provided by our automated revenue collection and distribution flows
- And the final piece (for now anyway..) is the Degenerator DAO. The DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organisation) will allow our community to control the majority of the ecosystem through governance and voting. Very important, we think!
CryptoGirlfriend☆: Thanks for the breakdown! It looks like the BUSTaBNB ecosystem has something for everyone to get excited about. Speaking of exciting, please tell us Wen game?? @CrusherApe has been very secretive!
Crusher 💩💰✊: lol
CryptoGirlfriend☆: 😉
Neil ApeStrong: Haha, yes CrusherApe has been sworn to secrecy! We are however extremely close to launching an Alpha version of the game..
CryptoGirlfriend☆: Oh wow, this would mean we are hopefully close to playing it?? Can you maybe give our viewers a rundown of the game, and when they can expect to get their first look?
Neil ApeStrong: Yes of course! So "BUSTaCRASH" is a progressive jackpot game, similar to the grandfather of crypto crash games – bustabit.com (which is still played right now, years after its release!)
With BUSTaCRASH, users can place bets with BNB (or partner tokens) and watch the multiplier curve increase exponentially then click the stop button to claim their winnings before the game crashes. The longer the round, the more they can win, though if the game crashes before they exit they lose their bet
Here's one of our earlier examples:
Neil ApeStrong: Much better, thanks Crusher!
Crusher 💩💰✊: np!
Crusher 💩💰✊: Our stickers for BUSTaBNB
CryptoGirlfriend☆: They are awesome
Neil ApeStrong: The chance of winning and incentive to play is relatively high for our users compared to other casino style games, and the ever increasing bankroll will mean the potential winnings will grow higher and higher every day
CryptoGirlfriend☆: I'm just looking at the characters and banana rocket there – very cool lol!
The stickers are great too, especially the BananaAlien!
CryptoGirlfriend☆: Ok, so I'm going to ask again… Wen game???
Neil ApeStrong: Well, since we are nearly ready to launch the Alpha version of BUSTaCRASH (for internal testing), we decided to launch a competition late last week codenamed ALPHA SQUAD..
We wanted to offer 20x lucky winners $200 USD of $BUST each plus the chance to help us try and break the game in it's Alpha state, prior to the Beta public launch, which will happen 2x weeks prior to a multi-IDO. Follow this link for details to enter (entries close 7th July UTC: https://tinyurl.com/BUSTaBNB-ALPHASQUAD
Crusher 💩💰✊: We also have a competition flyer with shiny convenient clickable links;
And there will be some genesis BUSTaBNB limited edition "Alpha Series" NFTs up for grabs too – sneak peek;
CryptoGirlfriend☆: Those are so cool!
That's a pretty awesome prize pool, so there is going to be an IDO too? Please tell us more..
Neil ApeStrong: Yep, we're pretty excited! We have two confirmed IDO partners, considering a possible third. We wanted to get a working version of the game (albeit still in Beta) in the hands of the public prior to IDO so they can have an opportunity to try before they buy $BUST. Pretty sure this is a first for IDOs, having a working product go-to-market before an IDO raise 😉
CryptoGirlfriend☆: Very cool, it's a refreshing approach to IDOs for sure! So I believe we have 5x prizes of $50 BUSD worth of $BUST to give away for the 5x best questions from members of the BSC Times audience?
Neil ApeStrong: Yes mam we do!
CryptoGirlfriend☆: Great stuff! So before we get to questions, where can we keep up-to-date with the BUSTaBNB project news?

CryptoGirlfriend☆: Thanks CrusherApe! So let's answer some of the community's questions… I'm going to unmute the channel now.
Community Questions
Community Question #1
Ugur Alkoç: Incredible ecosystem diagram you have:) I wonder how Automated House Edge Manager works.. Could you elaborate on this more?
Neil ApeStrong: Hi Ugur, thanks for your question!
So every time the house wins a game round – which is 2% of the time , the Automated House Edge Manager receives all the bets from that round. The total amount bet then gets split out to the various "buckets", initially at 25% for each bucket.
This 25% split for each bucket is adjustable via voting/governance through the DAO. Currently the buckets include an automatic liquidity acquisition and lockup, token burn, and additional farming/affiliate rewards etc.
The beauty of it is that because it's automated, you (the community) don't need to trust that we will do what we say we'll do with the House Edge. It all happens automatically according to the smart contracts behind the Automated House Edge Manager, which will all be verifiable and transparent by yourselves and auditors etc.
Community Question #2
Anderson Ico speaks community is scam: South east asia is the best market for crypto adoption and how will you expand and increase awareness of your project in global level ? Are there any plans for ambassador programmes in different countries?
Neil ApeStrong: Thanks Anderson!
So yes we do of course want to expand globally, the more users the better!
We have our own marketing plans and KOL lists that we'll use to spread the word and attract as many people as possible both pre and post IDO. After that, we expect our affiliate program to do a lot of the work expanding our user base.
Without going too deep, our affiliate program will reward both the affiliate link provider, and the referee that joins via their link, with a passive income stream every time the referee either loses a game round to the house, makes a trade on our AMM, or collects any farming rewards.
With this advanced affiliate program in place, we expect to have an army of affiliates growing the platform for us/them/you as they have a real opportunity to earn a solid income.
Community Question #3
The Light Jerry: Normally like other gaming platforms we will need to create an account, so at BUST do we need to create an account or can we directly connect wallet connect to Dapp and play? Do you have any instructions or descriptions for new users when they come to your platform?
Neil ApeStrong: Thanks Jerry who is Light 🙂
We wanted to stay away from any registration process that involves creating and account and supplying an email address etc. We're aiming for maximum decentralization so we're sticking with a wallet connection only. You'll be able to simply jump onto the website – on desktop or mobile – connect via your wallet – currently MetaMask or TrustWallet – and start playing the game 🙂
And yes we will definitely have an extensive user guide as although we're going to make it as easy as possible for people to get involved, there will be some new features on BUSTaBNB that people haven't used before.
Chances are, with the aforementioned affiliate program, we'll also have some of them/you providing their own how-to guides and videos 🙂
Community Question #4
Marjerlin Buitrago: Are there rewards on BUSTaBNB for playing regularly? That is, are there stages of the game where we can gain more experience and of course more reward?
Neil ApeStrong: Hi Marjerlin and thanks for the question 🙂
This is a feature that's currently in the planning phase. We absolutely want to have a levelling up / experience / progression system so I can almost guarantee that it will happen at some point, I just can't say when as there are a lot of other cool features that we want to push out first.
It's unlikely that with a progression system, more experience would give more $$ rewards as that has the potential to break the game and drain the bankroll. It is planned though to provide non monetary rewards in the way of NFTs and in-game features, which is something we want to build out especially for those who will stream the game to make things more unique and exciting for their audience 🙂
Community Question #5
Jean Pierre Hernandez🛸: They mention that the different products that the project will own will not only receive $BNB but will also accept tokens from partners who want to integrate the BUSTABNB ecosystem, but what requirements will they demand from these partners for their token to be accepted into the BUST ecosystem?
Neil ApeStrong: Thanks Jean Pierre, I was hoping someone would ask about the partner program!
So our core iGaming platform and expanded ecosystem is already incredibly well designed even if BNB was the only playable token, but we wanted to go even further by allowing partners to add their own tokens to the game(s) and potentially the AMM also.
Ok so actually halfway through writing this I've just realised I can copy and paste the best answer possible straight from our GitBook. Sorry that this one isn't necessarily "live", but I've taken up enough of BSC Times' chat time and some people want to get on with their day/evening 🙂
So here's the GitBook entry:
As we've touched on in the Partnership Portal section, the BUSTaBNB platform is designed to attract partners to add their tokens to our game(s) and ecosystem. The partner benefits with additional utility and automatic burning of their token, and the BUST ecosystem benefits from reaching more audiences and with certain fees taken in the form of the partner token.
The listing/revenue structure of partner tokens is as follows:
Initial Bankroll liquidity – The partner will choose a certain amount of their tokens to initially fund the Bankroll that will be available as winnings for the game(s) played with their token. The BUSTaBNB platform doesn't derive any revenue directly from this deposit.
Farming rewards – The partner will also choose a certain amount of their tokens to stake in a farming contract with a specified emission rate to reward people who stake additional tokens in the partner's
Bankroll pool. A small percentage (5% by default) of these farming rewards go directly to the DAO Treasury, essentially as a rental/subscription fee for listing their token on our platform.
Listing fee – This is a direct, one-time fee that a partner will pay to list their token on our platform. This fee goes directly to the DAO Treasury.
House Edge – As with the core House Edge Fee management for BNB used with the game(s), a small percentage of the House Edge is sent via the Automated House Edge Manager to the DAO Treasury.
Initially, any partner wanting to list their token with us will go through a manual negotiation and decision making process around how much to deposit for the Bankroll and farming rewards, what the listing fee will be, and the percentage of farming rewards and House Edge that goes to the DAO Treasury. The decision will revolve around the benefits to the BUST community, the partner, and their community.
CryptoGirlfriend☆: Well a big thank you to both @NeilApeStrong & @CrusherApe for joining us today. I've got to say this project is shaping up to be amazing, and I for one will definitely enter the Alpha Squad competition! It's been a pleasure to host you both today on BSC Times, and wish your project all the best success 😁
Neil ApeStrong: Thanks to both yourself CryptoGirlfriend and the BSC Times team for having us today. And a big thank you to the BSC Times community, we can't wait for you to join us over at BUSTaBNB! See you all at IDO 🙂
Crusher 💩💰✊: TY very much for having us CGF and BSC Times!

Overwatch Beacon Finds Success, Overall Team Looks Towards Future
The room is dead silent, only the familiar clicking of keyboards fills the lab on a cold December night. Suddenly, the room comes alive and gold jerseys erupt into madness. Valpo's Beacon Overwatch team just defeated Western Colorado University to secure their fall division title.
The victory marked a rapid ascent to success for the second year program and the Beacons aren't looking to stop anytime soon. OW Beacon is now undefeated in the spring and starting to set their eyes ahead to nationals later next month.
"The team has grown a lot since our first semester," sophomore Isaac Fabbro said. "Basically everyone that was here at the beginning is still here, so spending so much time with each other has led to a lot of growth."
Being a close-knit group has been crucial to their success. The players' friendship carries over in Overwatch and helps them anticipate how everyone will react during a game.
"A huge tribute to our success is our team chemistry and how good of friends we all are," sophomore Abby Thompson said. "Hanging out outside of practice helps us be in the same mindset."
The team meets three times a week to practice and many players put in extra hours throughout the week. Every Thursday the group competes against colleges across the country in the National Esports Collegiate Conference (NECC).
Head coach Bryce Jones also spends a lot of time reviewing gameplay and talking one on one with players. This year his job has gotten even harder because the program gained enough students to split into two teams: Beacon and Shield.
"There's so much more crossover between the teams than I think we even realize," Team Shield Captain sophomore Franco Raimondi said. "We know all the people and have those friendships, sometimes we even bring players from Beacon over as substitutes."
Despite two squads competing separately, the group manages to foster a culture that promotes togetherness and shared growth among the teams.
"We are always hyping each other up," Team Beacon's Thompson said. "Everybody helps everybody. You can learn something from anyone, even if they are at a lower level than you."
With most newcomers entering a team environment for the first time, learning from one another is a huge part of the process. Being able to rely on your teammates and maintain consistency is a stark comparison from solo online play.
"You learn to communicate and you have to pay attention a lot more, not only to the game, but also to what is being said around you," Shield's Nick Marchmon said.
Although Team Shield hasn't had the wild success Beacon has achieved, they value the people around them more than simply winning.
"The relationships I've formed and the experience I've had meeting all these people from different backgrounds just makes me want to keep coming back," Raimondi said.
Marchmon shared similar thoughts on why he loves the team.
"Honestly I'm just stoked that I get to play Overwatch on a team with my friends," Marchmon said. "If we can win along the way, that's great."

A Scottish MP shocked her colleagues by flouting Parliament's usually strict dress code by wearing a Scotland football shirt in the Commons.
Hannah Bardell, an SNP MP, pulled aside her blazer to show off the national team's shirt underneath during Scotland Questions on Wednesday morning.
She told the Commons her choice of clothes was to show support for Scotland's ladies team – which is playing England in the Women's European Championships tonight.
Ms Bardell, MP for Livingston, decision was met with outrage from fellow MPs, with Labour's Sarah Champion branding it "unparliamentary."
Speaking in the House of Commons wearing the jersey, Ms Bardell said: "'I would also like to put on record my very best wishes of everyone on these benches for the Scottish football team.
"I'm wearing the colours, I hope you don't mind. I use to play alongside two of Scotland's national players at university. Their careers have obviously done better at football than mine."
In response, Ms Champion told the BBC's Daily Politics she thought authorities would have "a quiet word" with the Livingston MP.
She added: "It is unparliamentary, and this is coming from a woman who was told I have unparliamentary hair."
It comes after a row erupted over whether MPs should be forced to wear ties in the Commons, after Liberal Democrat Tom Brake was called out for not wearing one.
Following this, speaker John Bercow made the decision to relax the dress code and announced he would allow male MPs to speak in the chamber without wearing a tie.

In an unprecedented turn of events, the UFC engaged in its first-ever "trade" with another promotional company. Former UFC 125-pound champion and top pound-for-pound fighter Demetrious Johnson is now headed to the far east to compete under the ONE Championship banner, as Ben Askren signs with the UFC.
UFC president Dana White already stated that the undefeated welterweight would be matched up with a top five opponent in his debut. Askren did send out a warning to the entire 170-pound division, but at the same time, he shut out the possibility of fighting his Roufusport teammate and division champion Tyron Woodley.
"Me and Tyron aren't fighting, it's simple. We are not fighting. We are not fighting — no," Askren said Monday on The MMA Hour (via MMA Fighting).
"I think there's a lot of scenarios in which I get to prove how good I am and we don't fight. They could create the 165, 175 [divisions]. I think that's a possibility. It's almost like the UFC is pushing back a little bit despite how much all the fighters realize it would be beneficial to us. If it were up to the fighters, they'd probably create that division tomorrow, right?"
The feeling, apparently, is mutual. Woodley recently expressed the same sentiment in his own TMZ segment "The Hollywood Beatdown."
"That's my homie," Woodley said when asked if he would ever fight Askren. "My homie, my teammate. He's my wrestling coach."
"So my wrestling coach (would be) the person that would train me to fight him? We might as well do a training camp together. Because there's no other way for me to mimic that style besides to actually go with him."
The 34-year-old Askren last competed in November 2017, where he defeated Shinya Aoki via first-round TKO.

The Majestic Pet dog bed may be also lofty for some canines. The central padding sits up high like a bed cushion that needs to be barged in, and that can create a lopsided relaxing spot for a few days. Still, with a little scratching and that charming ancestral nesting actions (in some cases called comfort circling, which has pets circling their resting place to make the cushion just right), the majority of pups ought to have the ability to break in this bed promptly.
The bedís zippers sit atop the structure, rather than beneath it. They additionally arenít concealed under a flap of product, so a bored or anxious canine may chew on them. If you recognize your pet is the kind that chews on metal zippers, this version likely isnít the bed for them. Some other beds we like have no-skid bases. This one doesnít, however the weight of your canine should maintain it in place.

Bishop Rachel's Address at Diocesan Synod held on Wednesday 14 July.
Ruth chapter 1:
In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land, and a certain man of Bethlehem in Judah went to live in the country of Moab, he and his wife and two sons. 2 The name of the man was Elimelech and the name of his wife Naomi…
3 But Elimelech, the husband of Naomi, died, and she was left with her two sons. 4 These took Moabite wives; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. When they had lived there about ten years, 5 both Mahlon and Chilion also died, so that the woman was left without her two sons and her husband…
6 Then she started to return with her daughters-in-law from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab that the Lord had considered his people and given them food. 7 So she set out from the place where she had been living, she and her two daughters-in-law, and they went on their way to go back to the land of Judah. 8 But Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go back each of you to your mother's house. May the Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me. 9 The Lord grant that you may find security, each of you in the house of your husband." Then she kissed them, and they wept aloud. 10 They said to her, "No, we will return with you to your people." 11 But Naomi said, "Turn back, my daughters, why will you go with me?
And now reading from verse 14
' Then they wept aloud again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.
15 So she said, "See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law." 16 But Ruth said,
"Do not press me to leave you or to turn back from following you! Where you go, I will go; where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God. 17 Where you die, I will die— there will I be buried.
May the Lord do thus and so to me, and more as well, if even death parts me from you!" 18 When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more to her.19 So the two of them went on until they came to Bethlehem. ..
Gospel Reading: Mark 1: 35-39
35 In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed. 36 And Simon and his companions hunted for him. 37 When they found him, they said to him, "Everyone is searching for you." 38 He answered, "Let us go on to the neighbouring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also; for that is what I came out to do." 39 And he went throughout Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and casting out demons.
Life is a constant patchwork of endings and beginnings and beginnings and endings (just ask the English football team – and didn't they do well?).
Endings and new beginnings resonate with our Christian faith and who God is – the alpha and the omega – the beginning and the end. And even now we look for that ending and new beginning when God's kingdom will come on earth as in heaven. I know I repeat this often, but I make no apology because the coming of God's kingdom is what gets me out of bed in the morning. At our synod last November I spoke about God doing a new thing – again and again and again – but never ignoring the past – or the pain – and always calling us to live each present moment.
In our Old Testament reading we encounter Ruth and her mother-in-law Naomi. They know all about loss and bereavement. They know all about uncertainty and huge question marks about the future; and they set out on a journey of return. Not a returning to 'what was' but a returning which is about turning and trusting and setting out, clinging to God.
I wonder what your key experiences have been over this past 15 months. There has certainly been loss of some sort for everyone, even if it's only been the loss of the familiar and close contact. For others it's been even deeper. And now we have a strong sense of return as we move towards July 19 – But it is not 'going back' and it is not 'release' or 'returning to normal'.
In Ruth's beautiful commitments to Naomi I see compassion and kindness and love – a 'with' and a ' being in it together'. What does that mean for us as we return to a different shape of doing and being church?
There will be those who are nervous and vulnerable; those who are shielding, and those who long to be back in the crowd. Those who want to sing loudly and those who are fearful of what that might mean. Those who want to wear masks and those who question their validity. This is the landscape we need to live well together and with one another as we faithfully return.
In this Eucharist, as in every Eucharist, we turn and return – as we confess our sins and turn back to God once more; As we tell of what God has done for us in the past in Jesus Christ; and as we are nourished by Christ in bread and wine in the present; And in the present commit ourselves to shaping the future in the power of the Holy Spirit as we live and work to God's praise and glory.
Ruth and Naomi didn't know what the future held but they set out. I suspect they saw themselves and their story as pretty insignificant – just two women in a pretty broken place, yet decisive in the next step and living it together. Yet actually it's a deeply significant story and Ruth gets a mention in the family portrait gallery of Matthew chapter 1, because Ruth went on to marry Boaz, and Boaz became the Great Grandfather of David from whom Joseph, was descended – Joseph the husband of Mary the mother of Jesus Christ born in that little insignificant place of Bethlehem to where Ruth and Naomi returned.
Whatever story you are living, please know that it's not insignificant – Your individual story and the story of your local worshipping community and context, and the story of our diocese and who we are together.
In this Eucharist as we come to the end of the triennium of this Diocesan Synod, it is an ending and a new beginning, and all held within God's overarching story and our story of life together – and indeed our LIFE vision.
In these past couple of weeks I have been really saddened and frustrated by some badly placed comments and reference to clergy and stipends as 'limiting factors' to mission. You may or may not have picked up this story following someone called John McGinley's comments at a recent church-planting conference, and it's not a story I want to dwell on, but I do want to say that I'm sad because there has been an implication that clergy – and particularly parish ministry and that inherited pattern of church – is somehow now to be overshadowed and superseded by new ways of doing things – new lay-led worshipping communities. And I'm sad because I certainly don't want people to hear that healthy parish ministry is to be done away with or downgraded to second place. Parish ministry is a gift I never want to lose. And so let me put on record now my thanks to our parish clergy – stipendiary and self-supporting – let me say thank you loud and clearly – And Thank you to clergy serving as chaplains and in other places too. I not only celebrate you, I am privileged to share in ministry with you.
But I'm also sad and frustrated because I do want to fan into flame new ways of doing things, but it's not either /or – it is both/and – and one is not better than the other. It's that varied landscape of church – what is often called mixed ecology.
I'm sad and frustrated because I actually had a conversation with John McGinley a few weeks ago, and my conversation with him seemed to be very different from what was then said at the conference. My conversation with him resonated with so many of the things we're grappling with here as we commit to planting and nurturing new worshipping communities. What does it mean to be lay-led and be Anglican? What does it mean to be Eucharistic communities and to grow in our understanding of lay ministry which is different from ordained ministry, and all of it about the whole royal priesthood of the baptised people of God witnessing to God's love and the kingdom of God?
We are exploring all these things as we go forward with our Church Army Centres of mission, and with sports ministry and growing new worshipping communities through sport and physical activity particularly with young people and families. We continue to explore all these questions as we put schools at the heart of our mission, and as we explore what church planting might look like on new areas of housing.. etc etc. And let's also note that many of those new ways of doing things are growing from within parish worshipping communities led by parish clergy and lay leaders together.
So let me also put on record my thanks to our lay leaders. I celebrate you and am privileged to share in ministry with you.
And I do want to urge all of you to read again my address to the Synod last November – simply because I don't want to go on repeating all the things that I said within it.
So let me finish with a couple of comments on our gospel reading. Here is Jesus Christ on earth – always fully attentive to people and situations in every present moment, but never distracted by the wrong thing in each present moment. No doubt, every day there were people who wanted to be healed and longed to see miracles, and we have accounts of Jesus being fully present in many of those situations. But there were undoubtedly many people who were bitterly disappointed when Jesus' response in the present moment was 'not now – let us go on'. Jesus Christ's focus on earth was always on the kingdom of God, and knowing what each present moment was about. And his activity was always rooted in prayer.
May that be true of us to as we continue to pay attention in the present, daring to return to something that as yet is unknown; and being willing to play our part in shaping the future, rooted in prayer with our eyes fixed on God who is love and in whom our beginnings and endings are held.
The final 'thank you' I want to put on record is to everyone here. Thank you for who you are and what you have given. Thank you too for what you have been willing to receive – and thank you for saying 'yes' to what lies ahead. Amen.

The pack contains three board games handmade in wood that are inspired by real games found in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.
The Senet, invented in ancient Egypt, is one of the oldest games known. This board game made of wood by hand is inspired by the Senet of Amenhotep III (fourteenth century BC) which is now on permanent display at the Brooklyn Museum in New York. A more modern reference to the game Senet is in the American show Lost where, in the sixth season, Jacob character plays a game with a Senet board located on the beach. SIZE: 30 x 11 x 6 cm
The Royal Game of Ur was played with two sets, one black and one white, of seven markers and three tetrahedral dice. The rules of the game as it was played in Mesopotamia are not known but there is a reliable reconstruction of gameplay based on a cuneiform tablet of Babylonian origin dating from 177–176 BC by the scribe Itti-Marduk-Balāṭu. It is universally agreed that the Royal Game of Ur, like Senet, is a race game. SIZE: 25,5 x 11,5 x 6 cm.
Board game from the Ancient Egypt made in wood. Ten carved ivory pegs, with heads resembling five hounds and five jackals, were excavated from a tomb at Thebes by Howard Carter in the 1900's. The original ivory board with its game pieces was discovered as a complete set. The rectangular playing surface, with rounded top, measured six inches long and three inches wide. The animal headed pegs were contained in a drawer underneath; locked by an ivory bolt. Dating back to around 2000BC, the game was a splendid find, and now rests in the Metropolitan Museum of New York. SIZE: 30x13x7 cm
