Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis

FINLAND: Atria to axe 59 jobs in meat plant restructure
By Hannah Abdulla | 24 April 2014
Finnish food firm Atria has indicated 59 jobs are at risk as its Jyvaskyla plant is restructured.
Atria hopes to "increase the efficiency of beef and pork procurement and processing at its Jyväskylä plant to improve profitability and productivity", it said in a statement.
The decision will see "overlapping functions in meat procurement and administration" axed.
Atria has estimated the revamp will generate an annual cost saving of approximately EUR5m (US$6.9m).
Staff that are to be "laid off from the Jyväskylä plant will be offered the opportunity to transfer to other Atria units", the firm advised.

Myself (22, female) and my friend (21, female) travelled for three weeks around Costa Rica. We started our trip in montezuma at this hostel and loved it. The rooms are spacious and clean, the facilities are excellent, the location is ideal and the local breakfast is exquisite!! The hostel is nestled up off the road among greenery which is teaming with wildlife. You can sit in a hammock and enjoy the surroundings while listening to the nearby sea, very relaxing.
We decided to return here for an extra three days at the end of our trip because we loved it so much.
What really made this place amazing for us though was the incredibly helpful staff. Unfortunately on our second last day we were robbed while out and about. It was extremely stressful as we lost our passports and money. The staff at the hostel (in particular Abbie the owner) were unbelievably helpful and supportive and even drove us to the police station and stayed with us to help us translate our statements. They also helped us get emergency money. We can never repay them for the support they gave us. I would recommend this place to any one would would listen!!

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (2015)
By Fr. Leroy Clementich, CSC
"Let's make sure there is enough to go around." Those words were the usual warnings from my mother on a Sunday afternoon just about when neighbors were about to show up for dinner. We may not have been a wealthy rural family but at the same time we never left the table hungry. To take a moderate serving the first time around was simply a mark of courtesy to our guests. Nonetheless, we youngsters were always warned head of time. My mother was always a good meal planner, perhaps because there were often already eight at the table even without guests. So, the traditional rule always was "there will always be enough if you make the food go around." That tradition never failed as far back as I could remember.
That is a practice we might well learn again in this age when, at least in First World countries, where there should be enough to go around. Sadly enough, however, statistics taken by social scientists tell us that many, many people go hungry each day. The problem is not a matter of production but rather a matter of distribution, distributive justice, of making sure that the hungriest always have the opportunity to find food each day.
The great anomaly in the world today is that our God never fails to provide the power of growth to the planet. The human family, however, has not yet learned that the products of the earth belong to everyone without exception. The old assumption of "everyone for himself" does not work, never has. There are always those who find themselves picking up the crumbs from under the table or becoming "dumpster-divers" if they wish to live.
A casual stroll through a modern Sam's Club will astonish a person who has recently come to America from a Third World country. The abundance of almost anything you can name will be found on either side of those wide aisles.
I would be the first to admit, of course, that world economics is no simple matter; indeed, it is a tremendously complicated issue when one reflects on how people are scattered across the planet where even the most dedicated governments are not able to make human necessities go around
Now, as we turn to the scriptures for this Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, we may be led to imagine that the issue of human sharing is a rather simple matter. The story from the Book of Kings tells us about the prophet Elisha who assured the messenger bringing twenty barley loaves that they would feed a hundred hungry people if they were simply distributed.
The story is repeated in John's gospel where a large number of people were gathered to see Jesus in a rural area, a considerable distance from their homes. Fearing that many would collapse from hunger on their way home, Jesus asked his disciples if there was any food available. A youngster showed up with five barley loaves and a few fish (perhaps the lunch he brought with him.) Once again, the words of Elisha are repeated: "Distribute whatever you have; make it go around. It did go around; indeed twelve baskets of crusts were collected afterward. No one went home hungry that day.
It is often seem a temptation in critical situations to call up a miracle like Elisha and Jesus did. Given the billions of people on the planet today, the inefficiency of world governments and the varied atmospheric conditions that exist in the world, miracles are too easy an answer to the problem world poverty. Not even the United Nations with all its food programs has been anywhere near successful in this great human cause.
Yet, as Christians, we are obligated at least to follow the example of the Jewish lad out in the country with six barley loaves and a few fish. He willingly gave up what he had without asking questions about distribution. He probably said something like this: "Hey, Jesus, I've got six loaves of barley bread right here and a few fish that I caught just this morning. Will these do? Of course, we all know what happened next.
The lesson that seems to arise here is that we need not wait for the United Nations, or a World Bank program to kick in. That may be too complicated and end up still feeding only a relative few on the planet. Perhaps, instead, the example of the boy out there in the crowd on the grassy meadow carrying his lunch basket is a more realistic solution. He shared what little he had and it went around. Most of us do not have millions but we have something. If we share it, God will make it go around, bet on it. Hey, that's what my mother said, isn't it?

Scottish sceptics won over by Blair
Saturday 08 March 1997
Delegates to the party conference in Inverness largely gave him the benefit of the doubt after a wide-ranging keynote speech in which he denounced John Major's administration as "a government in a state of decay".
A senior Westminster party insider said after a standing ovation for the Labour leader: "This is the toughest Labour audience you can find - and he won them over." The Scottish party has been notoriously most resistant to the Blair modernisation programme.
But the Labour leader tugged delegates' emotions in his opening paragraph, saying: "Next week will be the first anniversary of the killings in Dunblane. The horror of what happened still stops me in my tracks whenever I think about it. I will never forget standing in that gym. I will never forget the parents of those children, their bravery, their dignity and their terrible loss.
"We took action in Parliament to limit handguns. But not enough. And after the 1st of May, if elected, we will return to this issue. And this time there will be a free vote to ban all handguns."
Recalling that in 1964 Harold Wilson launched his general- election campaign in Inverness with an historic declaration that Labour set up a Highlands and Islands Development Board, he added: "Labour fulfilled that promise.
"This time I make a larger promise. We will legislate for a Scottish Parliament in the first year of a new Labour government. To deliver that promise, to ensure there is no doubt about our mandate from the Scottish people, we will hold a referendum as soon as possible after coming to office."
The Labour leader pledged: "I will be here campaigning for a yes vote in that referendum. There will be two questions. I will be campaigning for two yes answers.
"That Scottish Parliament can deliver better services for the people of Scotland. We will be turning back the tide of the centralised state and sharing power with the people."
The Labour leader also addressed the SNP and the Tories, arguing: "You both say there are only two options: status quo or separation; no change or destruction of the United Kingdom. I say that is an affront to our wit, intelligence and history. There is a better way. It is devolution and we will take it."
Mr Blair's main message to doubting delegates was: "There is nothing that makes me more angry than when people say there's no difference between the parties. That we're all the same. In Scotland this charge is especially absurd."

Thanks Everyone! I was just trying to see how accurate this 100 year old Chinese birth chart really is so far everyone from my family has been correct. It says it is 93% accurate. Has anyone else checked it out?
Posted 12/30/2012
Due may 27th, 33 at age of conception. However! I DTD on aug 30th, so 'conception' may have been either aug or sep!! Aug makes it a girl, sep makes it a boy (according to the chart).

Juan Karita, Associated Press
LA PAZ, Bolivia — Bolivian President Evo Morales said Thursday that the rerouting of his plane over suspicions that National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden was on board was a plot by the U.S. to intimidate him and other Latin American leaders.
Morales, long a fierce critic of U.S. policy toward Latin America, received a hero's welcome from a cheering crowd in La Paz airport late Wednesday night.
His return followed a dramatic, unplanned 14-hour layover in Vienna that ignited an international diplomatic row. Bolivia's government said France, Spain and Portugal refused to let the president's plane through their airspace, forcing it to land in Austria. He was flying home from a summit in Russia.
Latin American leaders were outraged by the incident, calling it a violation of national sovereignty and a slap in the face for a region that has suffered through humiliations by Europe and several U.S.-backed military coups. Several South American presidents were headed to the Bolivian city of Cochabamba on Thursday to show their support for the leftist leader.
Morales said the incident involving his plane was a provocation to the region, and he urged European nations to "free themselves" from the U.S. "The United States is using its agent (Snowden) and the president (of Bolivia) to intimidate the whole region," he said.
Bolivian government officials have repeatedly said they believe that Washington was behind the incident.
France sent an apology to the Bolivian government. But Morales said "apologies are not enough because the stance is that international treaties must be respected."
Spain's Foreign Affairs Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo said his country did not forbid Morale's president from landing in its territory.
Amid the tensions, the U.S. embassy in La Paz cancelled Independence Day celebrations scheduled for Thursday. In the eastern city of Santa Cruz, Bolivian government sympathizers painted protest slogans on the doors of the American consulate.
Morales said he never saw Snowden when he was in Russia, and that Bolivia had not received a formal request for asylum for him. While still in Russia he had suggested that he was willing to consider giving Snowden asylum in Bolivia.
Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino has said that the presidents of Argentina, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Suriname and possibly Uruguay will attend the summit in Cochabamba to discuss the matter. Bolivia said earlier it also would summon the French and Italian ambassadors and the Portuguese consul to demand explanations.
Despite the complaints, there were no signs that Latin America leaders were moving to bring Snowden to the region that had been seen as the most likely to grant him asylum.
Presidents from Colombia, Chile and Peru, who have strong ties to the U.S., will be absent from the summit.
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said he supports Morales, but asked other leaders to remain cool and avoid an escalating dispute between Latin America and the European Union.
"We're in solidarity with Evo Morales because what they did to him is unheard-of, but let's not let this turn into a diplomatic crisis for Latin America and the EU," Santos wrote Thursday on Twitter.
It's still unclear whether European countries did block the plane and, if so, why. French, Spanish and Portuguese officials have all said the plane was allowed to cross their territory.
The emergency stop in Austria may have been caused by a row over where the plane could refuel and whether European authorities could inspect it for signs of Snowden.
The U.S. has declined to comment on whether it was involved in any decision to close European airspace, saying only that "US officials have been in touch with a broad range of countries over the course of the last 10 days," about the Snowden case.
"The message has been communicated both publicly and privately," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Wednesday. "He should be returned to the United States."
Snowden remains out of public view, believed to be stuck in a Moscow airport transit area, seeking asylum from one of more than a dozen countries.

Says "unmet" needs among IDPs, country has received US$ 1 b assistance since 2006
By Uditha Jayasinghe
The United Nations (UN) has renewed calls to continue humanitarian funds for post-war Sri Lanka to assist with continued challenges of resettlement and rehabilitation, an official said yesterday.
Despite Sri Lanka's three decade conflict ending in 2009 there are still "significant" needs among internally displaced communities, UN Humanitarian Resident Coordinator Subinay Nandy said while addressing a ceremony to mark World Humanitarian Day.
"There remain significant unmet humanitarian needs among communities in the north. These range from basic assistance such as clean water, shelter and food security in resettled areas to more sophisticated issues such as sustainable assistance to obtain livelihoods, rights and return to more normal life as part of durable solutions on par with international standards," he said.
Nandy insisted that diminishing funding is the biggest challenge for humanitarian agencies, which has resulted in downsizing of many UN partners and their operations.
From 2006 Sri Lanka has received more than one billion US dollars in humanitarian assistance but Nandy acknowledged that with increased post-war development the funding is dwindling.
He made an appeal to all donors to continue humanitarian contributions to complete rehabilitation in Sri Lanka but stopped short of mentioning actual numbers.
The UN in 2011 provided 89.9 million US dollars as grants for humanitarian projects, mostly for displaced people in the north and east that bore the brunt of the conflict.
Finance Ministry data shows that the UN provided 69 per cent of total grants received by the country last year.

Camp Rucker
Lieutenant John A. Rucker, was a professional cavalry officer serving with the United States Army in Arizona Territory during the Indian campaigns of the 1870's. He was stationed at Camp Supply in 1878 when a drowning incident occurred in White River Canyon. Lieutenant Rucker, along with a fellow officer, Lieutenant Austin Henely, were caught in a sudden July thunderstorm. They waited out the storm in a saloon along with two of their military supply contractors. They were also accompanied by their Apache Indian scout, John Rope. When the storm was over, the small party set off to return to Camp Supply. Their journey required crossing a now-raging torrent in order to reach their station. The scout and the local civilians were experienced with such crossings, and forged ahead with little trouble, each man swimming his horse across the flooded river at a good location. The officers then plunged in together, and made the mortal mistake of swimming their horses side-by-side. As the strong current knocked one horse against the other, the men fell off. The current was more than they could handle, and they drowned. Their bodies were recovered during the ensuing night by John Rope and his packers, working up to their armpits in water. The dead officers were buried at Fort Bowie, some fifty miles north of Camp Supply. On April 29, 1879, the name of Camp Supply was changed to Camp Rucker in honor of the dead lieutenant. The name Camp Supply was then used for a station on the other side of the mountain range, and it later became known as Camp Price.

The highly selective dry complex membrane AgBF4–cellulose acetate (CA) was prepared and tested for the separation of ethylene/ethane and propylene/propane mixtures. The maximum selectivity for olefin over paraffin was found to be 280 for the ethylene/ethane mixture and 200 for the propylene/propane mixture. Solid-state interactions of AgBF4 with cellulose acetate (CA) and/or olefins have been investigated by using FT-IR, UV, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). FT-IR and XPS studies clearly show that the silver ions are coordinated by carbonyl oxygen atoms among three different types of oxygen atoms present in CA—two in the acetate group and one in the ether linkage. Upon incorporation of AgBF4 into CA, the carbonyl stretching frequency of the free cellulose acetate at 1750 cm−1 shifts to a lower frequency by about 41 cm−1. The binding energy corresponding to a carbonyl oxygen atom in the O 1s XPS spectrum shifts to a more positive binding energy by the incorporation of AgBF4. Reversible olefin coordination to silver ions has been observed by FT-IR and UV studies. Treatment of the AgBF4–CA membrane placed in a gas cell with propylene produces a propylene-coordinated membrane in which coordinated propylene is easily replaced by other olefins such as 1,3-butadiene.

Thank goodness for that.
The Wellington Phoenix season is mercifully over after they limped across the finish line with a weak 4-1 loss to Melbourne Victory.
It left them in danger of retaining the A-League wooden spoon, if Melbourne Heart beat Western Sydney Wanderers in the late game last night.
It was a depressing experience for the 5336 onlookers at a wintry Westpac Stadium, although at least the Victory's attacking quartet played some excellent stuff.
The game seemed like it was being played in an alternative universe from the Victory's previous visit in January, when the Phoenix raised hopes of a playoff run with a thumping 5-0 win.
But injuries and suspensions have since decimated the squad, which hasn't won a game since February 21.
The margin of the loss sealed the Phoenix's worst-ever defensive season, with the 51 goals against eclipsing last season's concession of 49.
"It's been the way of our season, that we struggle to back up when we have injuries and suspensions," said Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick.
"We don't have good quality depth but I thought the effort was tremendous from the boys."
Captain Andrew Durante was forced to marshall an inexperienced and makeshift rearguard, with the third-string Jacob Spoonley in goal and the unproven Luke Adams alongside in central defence.
It was a recipe for disaster and the revenge-seeking Victory took less than a minute to land their first blow.
Gui Finkler flicked a clever ball in behind the defence for James Troisi who squared to Archie Thompson to bury home.
The early strike sucked away what little confidence was remaining within the Phoenix ranks as they were routinely cut open with embarrassing ease.
It was 2-0 after half an hour as a counter-attacking Kosta Barbarouses set off down the left flank and linked with the prolific Troisi who, from a tight angle, unleashed a fierce left-foot shot into the roof of the net.
The Victory took a three-goal advantage into halftime as they simply marched through the middle of a soft defence, with Barbarouses again the provider, this time for Finkler who tucked past Spoonley with nonchalance.
It is such a pity Barbarouses is strutting his stuff against his hometown team, instead of for them, but you certainly can't blame him.
Things went from bad to worse after the break, when left back Shaun Timmins was rightly red-carded for going through the back of Barbarouses. Victory skipper Mark Milligan converted the penalty and the Yellow Fever were forced into some gallows humour with a rendition of Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life.
To complete a bizarre season, Jeremy Brockie struck with a brilliant volley in injury time to give the Phoenix at least some consolation.
"There's been so many changes every week," Durante said.
"Every week you look around the pitch and there's someone different playing alongside me or further up the field. It's unsettling, especially when the people you're putting in there are young and inexperienced."
The Phoenix will lick their wounds and reassemble on June 2 for what Merrick is promising will be a comprehensive pre-season.
The problem is, Merrick doesn't have much room to move in improving personnel, with most of the squad already on the books for next season.
It seems likely that their leading scorer, Stein Huysegems, will be lost to Wellington, with the off-contract striker last night benched for the first time this season.
Melbourne Victory 4 (Archie Thompson, James Troisi, Gui Finkler, Mark Milligan) Wellington Phoenix 1 (Jeremy Brockie). HT: 3-0

VIENNA Arnold Schwarzenegger credited his simple upbringing amid the lakes and hills of Austria for a recent conversion to fully fledged green activism, the latest stage in his varied career.
The former body-builder, star of the "Terminator" action films and governor of California grew up in Thal, a small village in the Austrian province of Styria, and emigrated to the United States at the age of 21.
"Growing up in my house, we knew about sustainability before it was hip. We called it 'necessity'," Schwarzenegger told an environmental conference he hosted in Vienna this week.
"We didn't have video games, televisions or iPhones. We had the rolling hills, the castles, the ruins, and the beautiful lakes," he said. "Even after I made it big and became governor of California, I held on to this love of nature."
The "governator" - who left office and split with his wife of 25 years, Maria Shriver in 2011, has recently returned to making action movies - expressed surprise at the turn his life had taken, after he had thought all his ambitions fulfilled.
"When I was a little boy in Austria, all I could think about was moving to America, to become the greatest bodybuilder champion in the world and make millions of dollars and be an action hero," said Schwarzenegger.
"My dream became reality. Who knew my greatest achievement would be in the real world fighting for a green energy future? Green energy wasn't even in my vocabulary."
