Year of Mercy -- The Project Rachel Ministry: Peace begins here
By Peggy Moraczewski
Editor's note: Comments from a post-abortive woman appear in this article. She takes us on her journey from grief to joy through God's mercy. For purposes of privacy, she will be known as Anna.
"I was born three months after Roe vs. Wade was legislated, so my whole life, abortion has been legal." - Anna, post-abortive mother
Popular culture has convinced women that abortion is easy, helpful, provides relief and has no repercussions. Concealed is the grief over the death of a child, the fear and isolation, the burden of guilt and the spiritual wound that only God's mercy can heal. In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis challenges us to become vessels of God's mercy.
The Diocese of Austin's Project Rachel Ministry offers help to anyone grieving the loss of a child due to abortion and guides them to healing their broken relationship with God.
"We all have that natural desire to be in relationship with God; he made us that way," said Mary Helen Russell, pastoral care coordinator of the diocesan Pro-Life Activities Office.
Anna's Journey
More than two decades ago, Anna said, I was "street smart, but naive," when I became pregnant at age 17. Her family physician recommended Planned Parenthood and, due to a tenuous relationship with her parents, and a troubled young boyfriend, Anna faced this life-and-death decision alone. The few friends she confided in were "unsympathetic and viewed abortion as the quick-fix for her problem," she said.
Planned Parenthood confirmed Anna was 11 weeks pregnant, and when she asked the question of a confused teenager, "...is it (the abortion) going to hurt my baby?" a staff member responded, "It's just tissue." Her abortion was scheduled within a day or two of her initial appointment.
Emotionally recalling the day of the abortion, Anna said, there were other women (patients) present and, "you literally were led in kind of like cattle ... you go here, you go there, etc." Anna had health insurance, so she was given a general anesthetic for her abortion; most women receive only a local anesthetic and a twilight drug, so they hear the entire procedure.
Anna remembers telling the anesthesiologist she had changed her mind about the abortion, and their response: "Everyone says that. Don't worry, sweetie, everyone thinks that they change their mind at the last minute. You're going to be fine."
She awoke in a room with about 15 beds and women issuing instructions about getting dressed and exiting through a rear door. As far as Planned Parenthood was concerned, she was finished. Anna recalls intense sadness, not elation or relief. Rather, she felt stunned. Day one her grief began.
"I had the realization ... even though maybe I couldn't verbalize it in this way, that what had just happened was no small thing. This was a big deal," she said.
Project Rachel
The next two decades of Anna's life were a merry-go-round of poor decisions, from drug and alcohol abuse to bad relationships. Attempting to describe it, she said, "...it's just a grief that stays locked up all those years ... that drives everything else." Current terminology describes symptoms of post-abortive stress as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, as it relates to abortion.
Russell said, "Post-abortive women hear ... you're not supposed to have any grief, so they cannot mourn ... That is insult upon trauma ... We want them to know, as a church, that we know this is happening, we understand, and that there is help available."
Anna spoke about the profound spiritual healing she experienced through Project Rachel and the moment that caught her completely off guard ... the moment she felt "reconciled with God." She knows the healing is ongoing because her life has changed and is now completely in the hands of God.
While healing does not happen overnight, it can begin with a phone call or e-mail to Project Rachel. "We know that it's the Holy Spirit who has prompted people to even call the ministry for help. We offer different types of services depending upon an individual's needs and provide ongoing support as well," Russell said. A key element to promote healing is trust.
The Project Rachel Ministry provides a trustworthy environment, a safe place to heal through individual and group counseling, healing retreats and the support of a prayer team. It is a ministry of the Catholic Church that offers mercy and hope to anyone affected by abortion, including boyfriends, husbands, grandparents, etc. The goal is to offer reconciliation to men and women –– reconciliation with God and with their lost child. Russell encourages fathers-to-be to speak up when faced with an unplanned pregnancy, and insists they are the most influential person to a young woman making this monumental decision.
Power of prayer
Helping a mother who is facing an unplanned pregnancy choose life for her child is really about valuing the family as the building block of society, the foundation that God intended for society. "Secular society is saying the family is not important, but we know that it is, so we offer the opposite message, and we have truth on our side. God has willed that child to be born and he has a plan for that child's life ... that's what we believe. That's our faith," Russell said.
Through prayer, every Catholic can help break the destructive cycle of abortion. Recently, a Planned Parenthood in Austin validated the success of consecutive prayer campaigns when they erected a tall brick wall in front of the clinic, so their clients could not see people praying outside. "They know it (prayer) is working and we know it's working," Russell said.
Catholics can also help the healing process simply by being welcoming. Anna grew up Catholic, but did not feel she could participate in the church after her abortion.
"It changed my whole perception of the church when I met a priest who was so welcoming, so beautiful to me, and he didn't even know me. It was just so relieving ... to know that I could actually walk hand-in-hand with the church again. He helped me to dare to approach the sacraments again," she said.
For those who suffer
Anna's message to post-abortive women: "If you've been considering calling Project Rachel, just don't wait ... pick up the phone ... take the first step. If you chicken-out, just keep trying. Just keep trying because it is there and it's life changing."
Project Rachel partners with other pro-life organizations across the diocese. Together, they work to see, in those who suffer, the face of Christ. Through its volunteers, the ministry aims to be the hands and feet of Christ, bringing love, compassion and mercy to all.
Tragically, abortion has been a legal medical procedure for more than 40 years. The ministry team frequently hears that abortion was a decision made before all options were explored, or even explained, to the parents-to-be. Statistically, couples who abort do not stay together, whether they are a teenage couple or a married couple. Abortion crosses all socio-economic lines.
How to help
Many volunteer opportunities are available with the Project Rachel Ministry. Volunteers can become a member of the prayer support team, answer the help line, pray "out on the sidewalk," etc. Russell describes their volunteers as those who are willing to show up and say, "I'm here, Lord. What do you want me to do?"

Application of FIGARCH and EWMA Models on Stock Indices PX and BUX
Volatility of the financial time series belongs to the crucial estimated parameters in finance (e.g. in risk management, derivative pricing). It is well known, that volatility varies in time, so that new approaches of volatility modeling have appeared. In this paper two models of the conditional heteroskedasticity - fractionally integrated GARCH (FIGARCH) and EWMA are presented. These models are illustrated on the daily historical returns of stock index PX and index BUX. Standard tests of normality, autocorrelation and conditional heteroskedasticity are applied to these log-return time series and before estimating the models, which confirm a usability of the conditional heteroskedasticity models. Empirical results of the Rescale Range analysis (R/S) indicate a long memory in the volatility process of PX index and the first 40 autocorrelations of the square log-returns show their hyperbolic decay. The volatility models are estimated by quasi-maximum likelihood method with Student´s t-distribution and used to the calculation of the 1-day 95% and 99% Value at Risk values. Finally, the validity of the models is verified by Kupiec´s test, TUFF and Christoffersen´s test. These tests demonstrate, that the FIGARCH model is a suitable alternative to the EWMA model in the Value at Risk calculation.

I am the first to admit I am not a huge fan of retro meals, usually they are full of tinned vegetables and margarine and that just doesn't do it for me… but one of my good friends, Mia, loves her retro food and so this one is dedicated to her. Its a dairy free spin on traditional à la King, but if you prefer to use it with dairy its a straight swap. I chose this meal for Simple Meal Sunday because its quick, easy, yummy, inexpensive and can be reinvented into so many different dishes. You can turn it into a pot pie, top it with mash for a shepherds pie, reduce the sauce down and use it in normal pies… are you getting the pie theme here? You can also bulk it up with rice, pasta or steamed veggies and serve 6 comfortably.
- 50 g raw cashew nuts (see notes for nut free variation)
- small handful of fresh parsley
- 3 sprigs of fresh thyme, OR 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- small brown onion, peeled, quartered
- 20 g olive oil
- 200 g fresh mushrooms (preferably portobello), thickly sliced
- 1 tbsp chicken stock concentrate + 200 g water OR 200 g liquid chicken stock
- 600 g chicken thigh or breast, cubed
- 300 g coconut cream
- 200 g capsicum, cut into strips
- Add cashew nuts to mixer bowl, mill for 10 sec/speed 9/MC on. Set aside.
- Without washing the bowl, add parsley and thyme to mixer bowl, chop for 3 sec/speed 9/MC on. Set aside with the cashew meal.
- Without washing the bowl, add onion to mixer bowl, Chop for 4 sec/speed 5/MC on. Scrape bowl down.
- Add oil and cook for 5 min/100 degrees/speed 1/MC off.
- Add mushrooms and chicken stock/water and cook for 3 min/100 degrees/reverse/slowest speed/MC off.
- Add chicken and coconut cream, cook for 5 min/90 degrees/reverse/speed soft/MC off.
- Add the capsicum, reserved cashew and parsley mixture, cook for a further 3 min/90 degrees/reverse/speed soft/MC off - or until cooked.
If you would like to make this nut free, skip the milling step and mix 2 heaped tbsp of corn flour or tapioca flour with water and add with the chicken.
Bellini Adaptions
Use the blunt blade for this recipe.
At step 1 mill for slightly longer if necessary.
At step 5/step 6/step 7 use speed 1.
At step 7 cook for longer if required.

Six Country Hits Become One Epic Song in Awesome Mashup [Listen]
Subscribe to Taste of Country on
Mashing up two songs is hard enough, but six? One YouTuber was up to the challenge.
'Sir Mashalot' took six country hits — 'Sure Be Cool if You Did' by Blake Shelton, 'Drunk on You' by Luke Bryan, 'Chillin' It' by Cole Swindell, 'Close Your Eyes' by Parmalee, 'This Is How We Roll' by Florida Georgia Line and 'Ready, Set, Roll' by Chase Rice — and combined them into one mega-song.
The songs all have similar chord progressions and tempos, so the producer set out to prove they were "separated at birth." Layering one song over another, piecing together choruses and verses, Mr. Mashalot did just that.
The result? One epic mashup. What the songs lack in diversity they make up for in infectious melodies and catchy hooks, and country fans know there's nothing wrong with that. We just wish you could buy this on iTunes!

This mature Domme is enjoying a session of sex and sadism with a specially trained sex slave.
Prudent slave traders and trainers monitor young slave men with hopes of discovering special aptitudes. Slaves with the right kind of muscle fiber become human decorations. Some can be adapted for specialized sexual service.
The feminized hooded slave male has rare powers of endurance. This enables him to satisfy this mature Mistress as a dildo slave. Using him with a dildo gag and harness has become her favorite source of orgasms.
His Owner whips his genitals when she wants him to speed up. She also lashes him during the peak rapture of each orgasm. His neck can move repetitively for hours. Any slave man can be forced to perform this way. But lack of stamina would soon cause the slave's motions to become irregular and unsatisfying. Even were such a slave whipped to death his performance would not give the high level of pleasure this woman enjoys.
He is a good slave that worships his elderly owner. It is his desire always to satisfy her. Whipping her slave is fun in itself. Sex without a man's anguish would lose its savor.
Age has no dimmed her ardor. She will enjoy many orgasms this night before the slave is permitted rest.

How to send a different email notification when editing submissionsAsked by uconnosd on February 27, 2015 at 10:08 AM
I would like to update requests with information on request status. I use the edit function. Can the subject on the re-submission be changes to "Update"?
JotForm Support
You could accomplish this with conditionally sent notifications:
Setup & Embed > Conditions > Select Send an e-mail after submission

Do you think a guy should get your fathers blessing before proposing or is that an out of date tradition?
Most Helpful Girl
I think it is really sweet and polite. It is respectful to the parents. If it was me, I would be happy if the guy I wanted to marry asked both my parents before he proposed because I think it shows a real dedication and if he is willing to profess so openly and seriously that he loves me, then he is probably a better person for me. In today's time I wouldn't be crushed if a guy didn't do this, but I would really like it if he did.00|00|0

In the developing nervous system, the basal plate is the region of the neural tube ventral to the sulcus limitans. It extends from the rostral mesencephalon to the end of the spinal cord and contains primarily motor neurons, whereas neurons found in the alar plate are primarily associated with sensory functions. The cell types of the basal plate include lower motor neurons and four types of interneuron.[1]
Initially the left and right sides of the basal plate are continuous, but during neurulation they become separated by the floor plate, and this process is directed by the notochord. Differentiation of neurons in the basal plate is under the influence of the protein Sonic hedgehog released by ventralizing structures such as the notochord and floor plate.[1]

I need to add a button (next to publish button) or in the actions menu of the edit document page in the back end that performs a publish along with site syncing that document ("Publish and Sync"). I have the code to work the the FluentAPI and sync the document through SIteSync, but I am confused on how to add the button/link and perform the action.
I believe I found how to add the button/link in the back end (please see screenshot attached), but need to know exactly how it should be setup so it displays the button or link, and so I can perform the appropriate action when it is clicked.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Anthony,
To add additional button in the actions menu, you can use this article:
Then in the service you can use the SiteSync API to schedule sync for the document.
Please try this and get back to us if you have any problems with it.
Hi Bonny, thanks for the response.
We were told by Sitefinity Support that Documents is the one content type that cannot have an action added to it in the Document List grid in the back end; so I don't think that solution will work for Documents. Is that true?
Additionally, while it would be great to also have the ability to add a link to the actions on the grid view, the client also wants to be able to add a button on the edit document screen next to the Publish and Save as Draft buttons. Is there a guide on how to be able to add an additional button to this section? (in the screenshot in my original post)
Here are the steps you need to follow:
1. Using this article to extend the default media content workflow called "AnyMediaContentApprovalWorkflow.xamlx" and using the workflow editor in ContentApproval->Default add new decision activity called "Sync" with command name "sync" (you can just copy and paste the preview activity). Check out this video.
2. When you go to the edit screen you will see an additional button called "Sync". Now we need to handle the command from this button. I have prepared the script that handles it - you can use it:
() {
(detailFormView._widgetBarIds) {
wLength = detailFormView._widgetBarIds.length;
wCounter = 0; wCounter < wLength; wCounter++) {
widget = $find(detailFormView._widgetBarIds[wCounter]);
(widget !==
) {
(sender, args) {
(args._commandName ==
dataItem = detailFormView.get_dataItem();
// call some service to publish and sync the item using the API.
Register the script in Settings>Advanced>Libraries>Controls>DucumentsBackend>Views>DocumentsBackendEdit>Scripts. Remember to set the "Name of the load method" to "OnDetailViewLoaded".
The workflow modification will display the "Sync" button and the script will handle it. You can create a service that you can call to publish and sync the item.
Please tell me if there are any problems with this approach.
Make Sitefinity work best for you.

Dog Runs Right Up To A Mama Tiger, But Watch How Adorable This is.
We all have been raised with the idea that wild animals are very dangerous. They pose a big threat to us, humans, but our pets also. We have to always stay away from them if we want to be safe. Well as time goes by, I learn more and more stories of wild animals who are very friendly towards humans or pets. The video below is the living proof of what I am saying. You will be able to see that tigers and dogs can be really good friends thanks to the "Oasis of the Siberian Tigers". "Oasis of the Siberian Tigers" is a protected area that protects rare breeds, mostly wild, from becoming extinct.
They have a conservation project, whose goal is to mix dogs with tigers. The whose purpose is to see, that these tigers can be absolutely friendly towards dogs, and not only. Tigers can be really dangerous, but if they have food and if they don't feel threatened, then they could be just like any other animal. As you will see in the video these dogs and tigers grew up together. Therefore they have blended, forming a big, happy, and diverse family. Tigers and dogs can be really good friends, because both animals are young in spirit. That means that both parties are always up for some fighting, games, and fun!
"Oasis of the Siberian Tigers" is located in Svenec, Slovenia, and the owner of it is Lucia Zustacova. When asked about her brilliant project she says: "It's so amazing when you are near these beautiful animals. I love the animals, and love the oasis- it's a great project to help these tigers facing extinction." Personally I think that it is great to make such projects come to life. I know that we can't make a radical change in the store of wild animals, but definitely projects like these can make a huge impacts in these animal's breeds.

While not as strongly linked with the Carcosa Mythos as the colour yellow, black has a number of associations through The King in Yellow. Most notable are the black stars that hang in the sky over Carcosa. The colour also has particular portent in some the stories:
- In the story The Yellow Sign, the eponymous Sign was inlaid in a clasp of black onyx.
- In the story The Demoiselle D'Ys, the 'black V-shaped figure' on the neck of the viper is remarked as signifying 'certain death'.
A further association of black with the Mythos is found through Nyarlathotep. See colourful beings for beings associated with the colour black. Black is also one of the two colours associated with the Black and Red Mythos.

The New Orleans City Council should either eliminate or substantially revise a section of the proposed new comprehensive zoning ordinance that would allow developers to receive exceptions to many regulations in exchange for providing certain benefits to the city, the Bureau of Governmental Research said in a report issued Monday.
The nonpartisan watchdog group said the "broad scope" of Article 5 has the "potential for undermining the rest of the CZO." BGR has raised concerns about the provision throughout the lengthy process of drafting and editing the proposed zoning law.
"Article 5 introduces a Trojan horse into the CZO and leaves adjacent property owners at sites across the city vulnerable to the very sort of 'runaway discretion' that BGR cited in its call for planning reform a decade ago," the group said. "It could also result in situations that resemble spot zoning, just under a different name."
The new CZO, in the works for four years, is intended to give legal force to the guidelines and principles set forth in the city's master plan for long-term development. It governs development on all private property in New Orleans and includes lists of permitted land uses for each zoning classification, as well as height limits, building sizes, setback requirements, urban design standards, operational rules and other regulations.
The City Council is expected to vote on it this month.
Article 5 of the document establishes standards and regulations for "planned developments." It says such developments are intended to encourage the adaptive reuse of existing structures, particularly on larger tracts of land. Planned developments also are intended to encourage "creative and innovative" approaches to land use, with sustainability in mind, the CZO says.
Under the article, the City Council would be able to grant exceptions to the zoning law for such developments if it believes they would provide a "substantial benefit" to the city. The exceptions could include waivers on the rules regarding height, density, parking, signage and other basic zoning regulations.
BGR said that provision gives public officials too much discretion, in part because the list of benefits identified in the zoning ordinance — a wide range of amenities that includes outdoor seating, bike racks, stormwater management systems, senior housing and others — is not specific or exhaustive.
What's more, decision-makers are not given guidelines for evaluating the merits of proposed amenities so as to determine if they are worthy of approving exceptions, the report said.
"Decision-makers could use any project feature they deem to be a public benefit or an amenity in order to justify zoning exceptions," the nonprofit said in its report. "This language leaves too much leeway in decision-making."
The report said Article 5 has some "laudable goals," including promoting the reuse of larger structures in historic neighborhoods, but that they can be better achieved through other methods.
The nonprofit recommended that the council eliminate Article 5 in its entirety. But if it is retained, BGR said, the council should revise it to include specific guidelines for how and when a project can qualify for an exception to the zoning rules.
