Having An Apprenticeship Program Could Benefit Your Business
In the past, many traditional skilled jobs were learned through apprenticeships however, apprenticeships fell out of favour for a number of years and there was a bit of a dearth of skills in many sectors. Apprenticeships are now coming back into favour with great opportunities for young people to learn a skilled job whilst working. An apprenticeship programme gives both on the job training and theoretical instruction which gives the apprentice knowledge and skills.
Occupations where apprentices are taken on, are structured programmes where expertise and competence are taught. Traditionally these occupations included brick laying, plumbing, carpentry, mechanic and welding. All these professions require a great deal of proper training and years of practice to become a master which was why the apprenticeship schemes were so valuable. Employers sponsor apprenticeships and choose suitable candidates to train in their profession. It must be said that not every apprenticeship requires a high level of academic achievement and those who have practical skills will be able to take part. Not everyone is geared for academia and there is a always a place in society for hard workers with good practical skills. There are usually goals to achieve and apprentices will be rewarded with a diploma or certificate which is associated with that profession which gives credence to their hard work and training. This gives them the ability to have a great career within their chosen profession.
The length of time and type of training you receive will very much depend upon the apprenticeship you choose to do as some jobs require more skills and training than others. These days there are apprenticeships in virtually every type of profession including farming and forestry, construction, engineering, retail, IT, healthcare, tourism, sport and leisure, the media and business, so there is plenty to choose from. If you are thinking about an apprenticeship, reflect on what you are good at and what you enjoy doing as well as any skills or experience you already have which you could bring with you and make use of.
There are many benefits to apprenticeships for both the trainee and the employer. For the trainee, they are not only in paid work but are being given valuable training which will enable them to have a worthwhile career in their chosen job. The employer gets keen young people to train and work with them whilst often being given tax breaks by the government and this can encourage employers to give more young people the opportunity to come and work with them. Often upon completion of an apprenticeship, a full time job may be offered but if not, the now fully trained apprentice can be secure in the knowledge that they now have the knowledge and skills to take with them for their future employment.
Choosing to do an apprenticeship straight out of school could net you a starting salary of over £30k, an income whilst you learn, and the opportunity to avoid student debt that now reaches more than £44k on average, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS).
With National Apprenticeship Week 2015 underway, the spotlight is being placed squarely on all that apprenticeships have to offer.
Apprenticeships are paid,skills-based programmes which put students straight into a working environment, providing key practical knowledge that employers often find is lacking in university graduates. They have been significantly on the rise in recent years, with the number of people starting an apprenticeship growing from 279,000 in 2009/10, to 440,000 in 2013/14 according to recent figures.
Higher level apprenticeships (the top tier) in particular are becoming more prominent. They only started in 2006-07, with the Specification for Apprenticeship Standards now including up to level 6 and 7 apprenticeships, equivalent to Bachelor and Master's degree level.
While the number of higher level apprenticeships is still small compared to university figures, the number of new starters increased 513 per cent between 2009/10 and 2013/14 – a rise that looks set to continue.
Many companies value apprentices greatly. Nigel Austin, Apprentice Capability and Development Manager at BAE Systems, where the Managing Director is an ex-apprentice, says that taking on apprentices "helps to secure a vibrant, skilled and fresh thinking workforce for the future".
BAE Systems apprentices are well rewarded; higher level apprentices start their apprenticeship on around £18k, with a salary on completion in excess of £34k. Additionally, advanced level apprentices with the company – typically school leavers at 16 – can expect a salary of £28-29k on completion.
Joining a company through an apprenticeship can also translate to greater career prospects. At Rolls-Royce, 30 per cent of senior management were once apprentices, with the company offering apprenticeships in fields ranging from engineering to supply chain management.
A spokesperson for the company said:"once they have finished the scheme and secured a position within the business, successful apprentices can expect to earn upwards of £24k, depending on the exact role they go into".
Sara Underwood, 22, is a recent ex- higher level apprentice at Rolls-Royce, who now works as a manufacturing engineer for the company.
She says that getting into Rolls-Royce early on has provided great scope to advance quickly within the company. She is currently going through the assessment process for the Assembly and Manufacturing Leadership Development Scheme, which targets those with leadership potential, with the aim being for participants to exit the scheme into a first level management role.

Why A Garden Office Could Be The Answer
Maybe you have dreamed about going for a very short commute to work, through your backdoor towards the garden room you have placed in your garden? Even if you already work from home, you may well be very pleased to have reduced the office clutter from your spare bedroom or dining room and have your own office space outside the house. This is just what you can find using a garden room office, in fact it is easier and cheaper to achieve than you might think.
You can purchase one of these brilliant buildings in much exactly the same way that you just order a whole new car. Pick from standard or customized buildings. Occasionally, they might be large enough for multiple rooms. As an alternative to spending money on renting an office, you might prefer to invest your money in building a garden room to use as an office.
Acquiring A Garden Room Office
The best course of action is usually to research garden sheds. These are typically not really sheds, however they are small manufactured buildings which can be turned into the proper room for various uses. Also, the word "shed" suggests something for storing garden tools in and not something that you would want to spend time working in. However, garden rooms are in fact upgraded garden sheds and you can have extra space which is comfortable, modern, insulated and fully serviced with electrics, water and phone line.
While many are actually quite rustic and have been designed to look like substantial log cabins, others are rather more pretty and look more like a chalet. Instead of detracting from your property, they should in fact, increase the value. Furthermore you can work from a office at home, additionally you reach add living and working space to your home.
Garden Room Offices With Utilities
The truth is, many of these manufactured garden offices already are set up to hook up to utilities. Needless to say, you will likely need electric lights to use your garden office, even when it comes with windows. For a few people, running in electricity for lights, a tiny heater, or possibly a fan is plenty.
However, you will probably also need an Internet connection in nowadays. If the building is close enough to your home, you could possibly connect to a wireless connection to your residence. Otherwise, you may have to find the cable company turn out and run another wire. You could possibly go on a mobile device or laptop over to the spot in which you plan to put together your brand new office to try to have a connection from in your home.
If you are planning to use your new garden office all year, you will need to make certain you may also bring in some type of heating, as well as, cooling. That way you can are employed in comfort one year out of the year if you wish to. Should you plan to heat or cool the building, you can do this as the building will be insulated during construction.
Just How Do You Find Garden Buildings?
You will discover local distributors of the buildings, plus they might have examples put in place for display. Typically, you won't buy one of these simple, but you will definitely get the opportunity to customize the structure the way you need it. Next, a purchase order is put in a high-tech factory that could make the exact pieces to your building.
Sometimes, several of these garden building companies already have put in place extensive websites. Simply look through different options, from small to large, and after that choose the basic model that you want.
Afterward, you may even have the capacity to add customizations. Often, by way of example, you may pick the type, number, and elegance of doors and windows. In the event you aren't sure what you ought to choose, this is a great time for you to call the business and request them for more information.
Make sure you get a company with good customer satisfaction because you will likely have some questions to ask prior to buying, but the majority questions can get answered by email or over the telephone.
Erecting Garden Buildings
These parts are delivered right to your premises. A crew can come buy and "build" your new office within a couple of hours. As opposed to expecting months to develop a regular office, it is possible to probably enjoy your office within a few days of making a purchase order.
In some cases, you may need to prepare the land where new office will likely be erected. Typically, the retailer offers a crew to achieve this job. However, they can also present you with instructions for your own personal crew. If you appreciate, you might even have the ability to perform work yourself. You could possibly base this choice upon the charge and the quantity of work involved. Your own ability to flatten the soil and lay out an effective foundation will also be considerations.
Why Not Explore Some Great Benefits Of Garden Room Offices?
Generally, buying a garden building will be the cheapest and quickest method to get a sturdy building set up on the property. However, you should not have to sacrifice durability and quality for price.
These buildings comes cheaper because most of the parts are pre-built in a factory which uses very efficient machines and techniques to make quality work. And also this means that they can get sent to your property in a short time. Besides supplying you with a handy place to work, the garden room office is yet another good idea because it can improve the area and value of your property.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. The Skornn is an ancient evil demon. The monster was very well known throughout the universe, and its horrors were even known in the Shi'ar Empire. On Earth, the Skornn's evil plans were mostly thwarted by the mutant known as Cable. However, once Cable originally managed to destroy the Skornn, the monster had established a loyal group of ninja followers known as the Helix. Years later, in present time, the Helix wanted to recreate their master. The plot succeeded when they managed to rob the sword known as the Five Fingers of Annihilation from the mutant Shatterstar. With this battle resulting in the death of some of Shatterstar's friends, he and Cable enlisted the aid of their former team, X-Force. Alongside the aid of Deadpool, Wolverine, the Fantastic Four and a new (futuristic) incarnation of the Mutant Liberation Front, the mutants and heroes eventually managed to kill the Skorrn. At first, it even seemed that Cable had sacrificed his life to end the battle, but he reappeared not too long afterward. With Cable's reappearance, it isn't completely certain if the Skornn is dead or not, and he is just waiting on the right moment to return. But for now, the Skornn is history.

Hyde Marine will provide B-Box ballast water treatment service, NIOZ testing protocol to help validate system performance
Hyde Marine, Inc. announced today it will begin using a new ballast water test system, B-box, recently made available from the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) to help ballast water treatment (BWT) technology companies conduct accurate analysis regarding the concentrations of chemicals or organisms present in ballast water.
The B-box testing service was designed by NIOZ to help BWT companies and shipowners test BWT system operation and the physical and chemical variables that may be present in the ships' ballast water.
NIOZ extensively tested the B-box system with Hyde Marine over the past two years to determine its efficacy for maritime use, and to further test the real-world performance of the Hyde GUARDIAN Gold BWT system, which uses efficient filtration and ultraviolet disinfection to treat ships' ballast water to prevent the spread of invasive species from port to port.
B-box is a "ballast water sampling box," which contains sample bottles that can be filled with treated ballast water, mixed with provided test chemicals, and sent to NIOZ for validation. NIOZ professionals will perform a number of tests on physical-chemical variables and concentrations of organisms as requested by Hyde Marine and provide analysis regarding what chemicals and organisms are present in the water. Additionally, Hyde Marine-trained service personnel can be used to take the samples and prepare them for shipment.
"Using the B-box system is an efficient and effective service, and will allow shipowners to receive an analysis of their ballast water samples quickly and accurately," said John Platz, President, Hyde Marine. "We expect the NIOZ testing will further validate the high performance of our Hyde GUARDIAN Gold ballast water treatment system and help educate shipowners about the important investment they made in complying with IMO regulations."
According to Dr. Louis Peperzak, NIOZ Project Leader at the Ballast Water Test Facility and Research Center, B-box will help to establish confidence among vendors, ship owners and port state control. "The B-box does not replace shipboard tests or guarantee compliance, but lowers the risk of non-compliance and contributes to an anonymous database of water quality and ballast water treatment system performance in harbors around the world," Dr. Peperzak said.
Hyde Marine, a wholly owned subsidiary of Calgon Carbon Corporation (NYSE: CCC), has a long history working alongside NIOZ. The company's Hyde GUARDIAN BWT System was tested and validated at NIOZ, which is one of the most challenging ballast water test facilities in the world and proved to meet IMO G8 Guidelines – demonstrating reliable performance in difficult operating conditions.

Scott Ramsey's Music City Bowl to-do list
- Jamie McGee
- Staff Writer- Nashville Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
The Music City Bowl may be scheduled for Monday, but the fight between N.C. State and Vanderbilt University football teams really begins tonight.
Five players from each team will face off in a two-minute rib-eating contest aboard the General Jackson showboat, kicking off an event-packed weekend for the organizers of the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl that will begin at 11 a.m. Dec. 31.
"It's pretty crazy right now," said Scott Ramsey, bowl CEO. "Right now, it's coordinating a little bit of everything."
Ramsey rattles through his weekend schedule at a rapid pace with a matter-of-fact calmness. On his to-do-list:
- Convert LP Field from a Titans/Jaguars stadium to a college stadium
- Paint the field, hang the signs, wrap signage around facility, clean facility
- Move ESPN trucks in, CBS trucks out
- Get teams and bands and buses situated
- Prepare stage for Battle of the Bands
- Host Battle of Bands event
- Host a players' party at Dave & Buster's
- Host a VIP dinner at the Country Music Hall of Fame
- Host a players' brunch at the Wild Horse Saloon
And then it's game day. A pregame program includes about 2,500 youth football champion players that get on and off the field as the teams warm-up.
"We have a flyover, we have 'God Bless America,' we've got a Wounded Warriors program, the Oak Ridge Boys are doing the anthem and then we have to be prepared to hand the game at 11:01a.m. to ESPN for a live kickoff. Making sure that runs on time to the minute is pretty crucial for us pregame," Ramsey said.
Confidence in his 11-person staff — who throughout the week have begun their work days at 6 a.m. — and the strength of the several hundred volunteers helps the week run as smoothly as possible, Ramsey said. He's also given up worrying about things like the weather.

Nov. 10, 1925.
J. c. SILLIMAN VEIN STABILIZER Filed April 1, 1925 Patented Nov. 10, 1925.
VEIN s'rnnimznn.
Application filed. April 1, 1925. ser1a1 No. 19,926.
To all whom. it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN C. SILLIMAN,
a citizen of the United States, and residing at Palo Alto, Santa Clara County, State 5 of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vein Stabilizers, of which the following is a. specification.
This invention relates to vein stabilizers or instruments for the purpose of faeilitating the holding of a vein for the insertion of an intravenous needle for the purpose of making blood tests or injections into the veins.
It is the general object of the present invention to provide a novel vein stabilizer which will securely and firmly hold and position a vein for the insertion of a needle.
Another object of the presentinvention consists" in the provision of a simple and convenient vein stabilizer adapted to hold and firmly position a vein and allow a portion of it to protrude for the easy insertion of an intravenous needle.
In'the practice of surgery and medicine it often becomes necessary to insert into a vein a hollow needle either for the purpose of withdrawing blood from the vein or for injecting into it any of the various fluids or solutions used in medicine or surgery.
Up until the time of the present invention.
it has been the usual practice, as evidenced by numerous medical text books, 7 for v the doctor to endeavor to hold the vein which is to be punctured between: two fingers or between a thumb and a finger in order that it may remain stationary so that a needlecan be easily inserted. into it. However this procedure 1s not at all simple and as a resort the needle into the vein properly, often with painful results to the patient. The present invention provides a simple device for properly holding or stabilizing the vein and causing it to project through a slot so that the needle can be properly inserted with ease and facility. It is necessary that the needle be inserted longitudinally of the vein otherwise there is a possibility of it going through the vein and coming out on the other side so that its hollow end will not be elfective to insert a solution in or extract bood from the vein.
In the accompanying drawings and following specification there 1s disclosed by sult a number of false efforts are made to inway of example only, two embodiments of the present invention with the understanding however that various changes may be made in the shape, size, arrangement, proportion and material of the various parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
In said drawings:
Fig. 1 is an elevation of the instrument in use and shown in position on the arm of a patient;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the instrument; and V Fig. 3 is a similar view of a modified form.
Referring to the drawing there is disclosed generally at 10 the vein stabilizer preferably formed of sheet metal such as aluminum, brass or steel, suitably nickel plated, if preferred. The thickness of the metal is about one-sixteenth of an inch. The ii'istrument comprises two portions, the handle 11 and the blade 12 which is bent away from the axis of the handle at an angle of substantially 30, along the line 13, at right angles to the axis 14 of the handle. The overall length of the instrument is about 7 inches. The width of the handle is about 1 inch at its widest part and the width of the blade about 1 inches. The side 15 of the blade is substantially parallel to the axis of the instrument and almost straight, whereas the side 16 widens out from the line 13 and is arcuate in form and the end 17 of the blade is clipped at substantially an angle of 120 to the side 15, as best shown in Figure 1.
The clipped end of the blade is provided with a notch or slot 18 extending clear through the blade and substantially of an inch deep and of an inch wide and having its long axis at right angles to the clipped end! 17 or an angle of about to the axis of the blade. Both the blade and the handle are substantially oval in shape and the instrument may be described as a flat, solid spatula with rounded edges and a smooth finish.
As shown in Figure 3, the instrument may be formed of wire instead of sheet metal in which case a sufiiciently strong and rigid wire 19 will be bent into the form of the outline of the instrument. 7
In use the device is applied as shown in Figure 1. The patientis preferably seated or placed in a reclining position and the arm, ifavein is to be punctured there, is bared'well above the elbow. A. rubber tube or band 20,.the usual rubber band used in this work, or any constrictor in "fact, is
Wrapped about-the upper arm midway between the elbow and the shoulder until,
venous circulation is cut off.v The veins now swell up to certain'degree and inorder to make them swell more, the patient is caused to open and" close the hands 6 or. 8 times, then hold the fist tightly. closed.; This is pressed with the blade flat on the arm'and the notch exactly over the vein to be entered,
which will cause the vein to bulge up through the notch 18, covered by the skinof course and to remainheld absolutely still and immobile as if it-were made of putty.-
This takes placebecause the blood in the vein is cut off above by the constrictor and below the point in which it'is desired to make an entry by the flat portion orblade of the stabilizer at the base of the notch which presses down upon the'slrin and closes the'vein. Tl1erefore-tl1eblood can not move and neither can the vein nove but everything is held steady; The needle s next shown. The test of getting "the needle into the vein and not through it or beside it, lies in the fact that blood will be seen to enter the glass of syringe if theproperentry is made or if a needle alone is used, fora blood test, blood will flow freely from the needle. At this time the constricting band should be ,loosened and the stabilizer blade slipped'out; from under the needle. l
The arrangementand"proportion of the" various parts of the instrument is of extreme importance. 1* or instance, the angle of the notch in the end of the stabilizer is so arrangedthat the'a-Xis of the vein being operated on points to the right hand and right shoulder of the operator in which hand the needle is used. This facilitates the entry of notch is used, the vein is inclined to slip, whereas with a narrower notch many veins are too large :to bulge up into it properly.
" The depth of the notch is quite important in that its walls extend sul'ficiently along the walls of the vein to allow a proper insertion of the needle. A large number of experiments extendingover quite a period of time.
have been necessary to finally bring the instrument to its present perfected form. It will be readily apparent to all those skilled more facility and ease than bythe makeshift means of attempting to hold the vein with two fingers- I y Having thus described the invention what is claimedas new and desired to be secured l by Letters Patent is: V r
1'. A venous stabilizer for use in vein in the art that by the use of this instrument the operation can be performed with much puncture, including a handle and a substan- 1 tially flat blade portion having a notch therein, said blade portion beingjadapted to "be pressed over a distended vein to close one. end thereof with the vein projecting through said notch. g

DHAKA (Reuters) - The growing popularity of Twenty20 internationals will not harm test cricket because the two formats of the game can thrive together, former West Indies captain Brian Lara said on Thursday.
"I believe now with T20 cricket a lot more people are watching the game," Lara told reporters in Bangladesh where he is an ambassador for the country's T20 Premier League.
"Just remember, we are all entertainers. And if this kind of cricket brings interest to the people, cricketers will be happy to indulge in it.
"Test cricket is still important, so are ODIs (one-day internationals) but T20 should be there too because of the crowd factor," Lara added.
Lara, who played 131 tests and 299 one-dayers, never had the opportunity to play Twenty20 cricket at which West Indies are the current world champions.
Lara believes the growing popularity of Twenty20 cricket will help West Indies generate more interest in the game among the younger generation.
"In the Caribbean we found it difficult to encourage teenagers to take up the game," said Lara. "We are now launching our own domestic T20 competition. We will try to seek more youngsters play the game in the Caribbean."
"You look at (David) Warner from Australia, (Chris) Gayle and (Virender) Sehwag. They are strong players in the T20 format. They bring a lot more excitement.
"You look at Warner bat in a test match. He can easily score 150 before tea. That's what people want to see. And I think the effect will be a positive one," he said.
Lara, who scored more than 10,000 runs in both tests and ODIs, added that it was unfair to blame the format for bowlers losing interest in test cricket.
"What I think is that the bowlers are pulling away from test cricket probably due to the amount of work. The money on offer in T20 cricket is an attractive proposition for players," he said.
"You'll find a lot more players making themselves available for T20s. But all in all I think test cricket is still very strong.
"This kind of competition (BPL) will make cricket more exciting I believe. Both can go on simultaneously."

This plant was grown from seed of salvia exserta which
it is not, it is not a salvia but it is in the same family, I am

Man Cannot Live Without Love: Valentine's Day as a Cultural Barometer and Invitation to Mission
My effort in this article is to take an entirely different approach. I want to suggest that Valentine's day is a cultural barometer and an invitation.
Man cannot live without love. He remains a being that is incomprehensible for himself, his life is senseless, if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not experience it and make it his own, if he does not participate intimately in it. This, as has already been said, is why Christ the Redeemer fully reveals man to himself (John Paul II)
CHESAPEAKE, VA. (Catholic Online) - Thursday, February 14, 2012, is Valentine's Day. It is one of the most popular of our predominantly secular holidays in the West. Before you assume I am going to join in the critiques of the holiday in some Christian circles by decrying its commercialism, or assume I will try to find some way of confirming the existence of a verifiable St Valentine in order to situate the day within a religious message, please read on. .
Who knows? Maybe there really was a St Valentine.The various accounts point in that direction. Maybe attempting to give that kind of a religious ground to the day through hagiography has merit. And, maybe there is value to critiquing the commercialism which has accompanied the day. However, it seems quite apropos in a culture being suffocated by a materialist ethic precisely because it has lost its soul and forgotten God.
My effort in this article is to take an entirely different approach. I want to suggest that Valentine's day is a cultural barometer and an invitation to mission.
My beloved wife of thirty seven years, best friend, mother of our five children and "Mimi" to our six grandchildren, has a birthday on February 13th. So, I regularly find myself in a card store in the midst of the frenzied crowd searching for Valentines cards every year. I always get one, along with the Birthday cards, and this year was no different. What was different was the massive size of the crowd and the fact that these two days also fell at the beginning of an early Lent.
I have been a Deacon of the Catholic Church for seventeen years and this liturgical season has become a special time for reflection, repentance and deep examination of conscience. This year, my experience of the size of the crowd encouraged more than irritated me. I saw men and women who are hungering to express their love. It brought to mind these words from Blessed John Paul's first Encyclical Letter, the Redeemer of Man:
"Man cannot live without love. He remains a being that is incomprehensible for himself, his life is senseless, if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not experience it and make it his own, if he does not participate intimately in it. This, as has already been said, is why Christ the Redeemer "fully reveals man to himself". (Gaudium et Spes, 22)
"If we may use the expression, this is the human dimension of the mystery of the Redemption. In this dimension man finds again the greatness, dignity and value that belong to his humanity. In the mystery of the Redemption man becomes newly "expressed" and, in a way, is newly created. He is newly created!"
The truth is that we were all created out of love and for love. We came into being as a great creative act of Love. The God who is Love, a Trinitarian communion of perfect love in perfect unity, fashioned us in His Image and invited us to respond in love. Redemption is a re-creation in Jesus Christ, who is Love Incarnate. The beloved disciple John who wrote the most cited words of the Gospel which bears his name, "God so loved the world that he sent His only Son" (John 3:16) also wrote in his beautiful first epistle that God is Love and he who lives in love lives in God, and God in Him" ( 1 John 4:16)
The New Testament was written in Greek, a language which has several words to speak of different kinds of love; the love between husband and wife; the love between family members; the love between friends; and the Love of the God. It also has a word to describe the greatest act of Love, the condescension of love, the great self emptying love of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, English does not.
However, all human love participates in and is perfected by God's love. In other words, the very need for love is a need for God. It is written into our spiritual genetic code. Our very hunger for love is meant to draw us back to the One who is the Source, the goal and the fulfillment of all love.
So, on this Valentine's Day, I suggest the fact that the Holiday seems to be growing in popularity is a form of cultural barometer. It shows us that no matter how secularized the culture has become, the hunger for love is an invitation to live the message of the fullness of God's Love in a visible, compelling and attractive way. This age is populated by men and women who are primed for the Gospel precisely because they are so parched for the fullness of love we have to offer.
I further suggest that, as with past missionary ages, we reconsider the haranguing concerning Valentine's Day and "baptize" it. A proper approach to inculturation invites us to consider how this secular holiday can be Christianized. How can it be used as a part of our missionary approach at the beginning of the Third millennium? I do not believe we live in a post Christian West. Rather, we live in a Pre-Christian West. The huge crowds in that card store reveal the field which is ripe for the harvest.

Justice is the minimum act of Love. Respect is one of the fruits of Love. Without Love, we have no motivation to be just nor respectful towards others. Respect and Justice are borne out of knowing that each man was created in God's image.
God is Love. Man cannot live without Love (God). God's Justice is meted out to those who refuse His Love.
1 year ago
Not true - man cannot live without Justice and Respect; love is an option, the cherry on the cake, but not the cake itself. To over-emphasize the importance of love is to fall into the sentimental secular progressive trap. God is first and foremost Righteous: Righteous in his love, in his justice, in his forgiveness and in his punishment.
2 years ago
Well written, love originates from God and the best way to experience it is to be taught by God himself.

I predictably enjoy reading Deacon Keith Fournier's articles on Catholic Online, and this one is no different! We are blest to have such a blessed writer among us!

The Song of Songs establishes the erotic dimension of love; this is part of divine revelation. Commentators use its poetry to describe human divine relationship of love. Someone responded recently to an article that he hears too much about love in Church. God is love! Why would we not hear about love in the proclamation of the Gospel? The difficulty is living out of love. When people begin to say "See how they love one another." there will be a world revolution that moves toward the reign of God.

Fasting & Abstinence
'Christ Himself said that His disciples would fast once He had departed' Lk. 5:35
Abstinence. The law of abstinence requires a Catholic 14 years of age until death to abstain from eating meat on Fridays in honor of the Passion of Jesus on Good Friday. Salt and freshwater species of fish, amphibians, reptiles and shellfish are permitted.
Fasting. The law of fasting requires a Catholic from the 18th Birthday (Canon 97) to the 59th Birthday (i.e. the beginning of the 60th year, a year which will be completed on the 60th birthday) to reduce the amount of food eaten from normal. The Church defines this as one meal a day, and two smaller meals which if added together would not exceed the main meal.

Dion's fast, just not agile
Couple points from watching the game live last night :
° Dion is still a fantastic dman. It's unreal how much grief he gets from players and fans around the league
° rielly still makes a ton of mistakes, but he's definitely becoming more and more confident with the puck
°brewer is awful lol.
° even tho I was all for tank nation, I could not bring myself to want the leafs to Lose
Go leafs go!
I'd take it in a heart beat
But how many teams know that?
What do you think a 20 scorer with a appropriate contract could fetch us?
Bozak is a twenty goal scorer this year. It would be a massive mistake to have him on the roster still for next year. Sell high!
Lumbus came to the leafs and proposed the deal apparently
430 start I hink
praise Jesus!!!!!!!!
People at practice tweeting that he is absent
Bozak being held out of todays practice? I wonder if they will scratch him in tonight's game
Why is it that erat can fetch Filip forsberg, but bozak of lupul can only get us a second round pick. I think you guys are devaluing our assets here
Who had more value, lupul or bozak?
I guess, but has he not always been like this?
Kadri is out best overall player. What do you guys think about this? To me, his defensive game has really grown and has learned to create offence from playing defence. He also brings it every night and his "give a shit" meter is always high. Part of the solution 100%
Best d core in history. Hands down
You can be a pest and be on the fourth line. Or you can be a pest and be an elite scorer like perry. Big difference if they have offensive instincts
Not bad. Should be a boost to the marlies. Also I don't understand why people think he may not even be an nhler when he's already producing at good rates in the A
How much older is brown than this new guy? Either way tho, scoring at ppg in there rookie years is very impressive
No big contracts
Less then the outcome of what we paid. That's for sure
why do I get a feeling reimer is going to go on one of his late season surges and lead us to just missing the playoffs
Please make some trades before this team starts winning again
Why is kozun scratched today?
So we've heard Santa winnick and lupul and phanuef being said to be shopped by msm.. Man these next few monthes are gonna be crazy
Wb the loov train???
My favorite player this season is polak :)
You don't want to know
@Optimustic would not doubt it . His stats are really good for a rookie goaltender his age
@Yaknowwhat Way more lol . It wouldn't make sense trading our best dman for a cap dump on a team with already horrible contracts. Im pretty sure you can get a lot more assets for without taking a horrible salary for phaneuf @gjdevlin @hometeem
@Yaknowwhat why would you even consider mike richards at all ?
@Yaknowwhat why would u even consider mike richards for ph9 ??
http://insider.espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/12161713/william-nylander-tops-ranking-top-50-drafted-prospects-nhl Nylander ranked first by pronman
Nylander probably would have won shl top rookie of the year
Johnson won it last year
And Neilsson was a runner up for the award.
Future is bright for our swedish prospects
I wonder if the powerplay suffers now that Randy is gone..
Ohhh boy kessel needs to break his funk now!!! Msm going to be all over him!!
Okk I'll look out for it
Do you know the number? And I haven't noticed him, maybe that's a good thing
Is that rinat valeiv kid not on Russia's team?
I guess, but I'm not ready to call a player in his first year pro a bust. Some take longer them others..
I've always thought of him as an idiot. I'm getting he vibe other people think the same
Big chance for ph9 to step up and gain some fans. captain vs captain oh man that would be fun
People saying Nylander a bust, rielly not having a good season.. if you want to vent, pick on the vets ppl!!!! Not ppl who have barely started there career. " Nylander a bust ", can't get enough of that one LOL
And I'll take this year's kadri then any I've seen in the past. His defensive turn around is far better then anyone could have predicted
Rielly imo has to b on that list. This kids only 20 and playing on a terrible team and is already one of our top defencemen
