Fr. Ignatius Traveling this Week-

If you need to contact him during this time, please don't hesitate to do so on his cell phone: 319-400-7522. There will be no Friday matins this week.
Parish Survey-
The Parish Council has created and distributed a survey to be taken by our members in order to gather your opinions regarding church activities, future plans, etc. If you received a survey, please consider answering as many questions as you would like and return the form (no need to put your name on it) to Fr. Ignatius or any Parish Council member (Todd Wiblin, Kristi Abuissa, Meghan Carter, Alli Rockwell or Matthew Arndt) as soon as possible. If you have not received a survey, please ask for one.
Upcoming Teen SOYO Events-
Two upcoming service projects are scheduled. On Tuesday, October 30, our teens will prepare and serve a meal at the Ronald McDonald House. On Saturday, November 3 at 2PM, they will participate in their first roadside clean-up service project. Talk with Alli Rockwell, our Teen SOYO advisor, if you would like to learn more information about any of these events.
Window Repairs Completed-
A few weeks ago, it was announced that we needed some repairs down on the windows in the nave of the church. Several of you donated to help cover the costs of these repairs. The repairs were completed last week. Thank you to all who gave in order to make these repairs possible.
Fall Clean-up Day-
This Saturday October 27, we will have a Clean-up Day at the church from 1PM-5PM. Among the priorities will be to get the carpets cleaned, the lawn raked (if needed), the mailbox painted and liturgical items polished and cleaned. Please plan to volunteer and help us keep our building and property looking beautiful.
St. George Church Bake Sale-
St. George Church in Cedar Rapids will hold their semi-annual Bake Sale fundraiser on Saturday, October 27 from 8AM-2PM. Stock up on your favorite Middle Eastern foods and support our mother parish. If you have any questions, call the church at 319-363-1559.

We will celebrate our church's patron, St. Raphael of Brooklyn with Great Vespers with Artoklasia on Friday November 2 at 7PM and Matins and Liturgy at 8:45AM and 10AM on Saturday November 3.
Reminders from Fr. Ignatius about Politics and Voting-
We are just a few weeks away from another Presidential election. Given that politics often engender strong feelings and many different opinions, I am proud to say I have not heard anyone at church championing their candidate or criticizing their candidate's opponent or that opponent's supporters in a way that would be offensive to anyone. You have all been displaying good political behavior while at church, which is as it should be. We certainly do not all share the same politcal views but despite that, we are the local expression of the One Body of Christ and we can agree, I pray, to differ on some things in the realm of politics. Our love for each other should certainly be more important than any political differences we may have.
Please keep in mind:
1. No matter who wins on November 6, Jesus Christ is still the King of Kings.
2. We are not electing a political messiah but rather a human being (whom we hope will do the best job for our country, but who will make mistakes.)
3. There is no party or candidate that is publicly endorsed by the Orthodox Church or by your priest.
4. If you are able to vote and plan to do so, educate yourself on the issues. The Orthodox Church takes great interest in several "political" issues, especially when these issues have to do with protecting the vulnerable and the outcast. Do your political homework, pray, and vote your conscience.
5. Absolutely allow your Orthodox faith to influence your vote. Orthodoxy is a way of life, not just something we do for an hour or two on Sunday morning. It is your right to vote specifically as an Orthodox Christian.
6. There will be more than just the two major candidates on the ballot.
Evangelism Bible Verse-
This week's verse: "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." (Acts 3:19)
Do You Have a Prayer Request?
Please give it to Fr. Ignatius and he will distribute it by email to all those on the Prayer Chain. If you wish to join the Prayer Chain, please let Fr. Ignatius know.
Coffee Hour-
On Sunday October 28, the food for coffee hour will be provided by the St. John the Baptist team.
Church Cleaning-
During the week following Sunday October 21, the cleaning of the nave, narthex, bookstore/library, stairs, nursery and bathrooms will be provided by the St. Nicholas team.
Food for Thought-
There is no prayer so quickly heard as the prayer whereby a man asks to be reconciled with those who are angry with him. For when he charges himself with the offense, this prayer is immediately answered.
St. Isaac of Syria, "The Ascetical Homilies of St. Isaac the Syrian", Homily 24

The Stamp Out Hunger Postal Food Drive allows you to help residents of York County by gathering those extra canned and non-perishable food items for your local postal carrier to pick up every year on the second Saturday in May. You can place food items by your mailbox on this day in order for them to be picked up by your letter carrier and delivered to local food pantries, including: Pilgrims' Inn, Project Hope, Dorothy Day Food Pantry, Love & Cherish, Fort Mill Care Center, P.A.T.H. Ministries and Clover Area Assistance Center. All food donations stay in York County. In 2019, York County residents donated 23,087 pounds to these local food pantries.
United Way of York County, SC partners with local post offices and coordinates with food banks that are in need of re-stocking their shelves at a critical time of year. Food pantries' resources become dangerously low in the summer months. The timing of this food drive is important because these agencies have traditionally seen a drop in donations during this time of year when the demand for services is going up.
Stamp Out Hunger food drive will be held on Saturday, May 9, 2020.
Food insecurity is still heavily on the rise with over 30,000 York County residents living in poverty and a great percentage living below the poverty level. Please support this year's Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive and help support families in need. It's easy to help. Simply place any of the following items near your mailbox and your letter carrier will collect it:
• Canned soup
• Canned meats
• Pasta
• Rice
• Cereals
• Dried beans

Two of the members of our national leadership had left an hour earlier, in order to attend another urgent meeting, with the head of the UN Mission in Colombia, Jean Arnault, and the Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations for political matters Jeffrey Feltam, who were sent by the Secretary General.
The high international officials had as their task to listen to the leadership of our party regarding the developments and obstacles of the implementation process of the Havana Agreements, and after listening carefully to their findings and learning that the National Political Council was in session, they decided to attend this meeting with the purpose of transmitting the greeting of the Secretary General of the UN and in turn expressing the mission's task.
The unexpected visit of the important people was received enthusiastically by the members of the CPN. Due to language difficulties, Mr. Feltam preferred Mr. Arnault to speak, and his words were simultaneously translated by his translator. They kindly proceeded to explain that the next day they would meet with the President of the Republic to talk about the same issue, the implementation of the Agreements.
His presentation was brief and concise. The international community had a real interest in the development of the peace process and its successful completion, for which the fulfillment of what was agreed upon by the Colombian State was fundamental. In his opinion, the FARC had complied sacredly with each of its commitments, and it was time for its counterpart to also demonstrate its will in such a delicate matter.
As Mr. Arnault explained, with the affirmative movement of the head of his companion, the United Nations Organization was deeply committed to the outcome of the peace process. For them the consolidation of the process necessarily had to pass through the political participation of the FARC in the electoral elections of 2018, the full guarantees for the life and integrity of the ex-combatants and for their adequate reincorporation.
The international community was not willing to let the good faith of our organization be in any way mocked. That's why they were in Colombia. Such an expression of support could not but arouse an emotional applause from our people. Just the day before our Party had received another momentous news, the exclusion of the FARC from the list of terrorist organizations by the European Union.
This declaration had also been a consequence of the recognized seriousness of our movement in the fulfillment of all the agreed commitments. So the members of the FARC feel we have enough moral authority to complain about the maneuvers that right-wing sectors in the Congress of the Republic, the Attorney General's Office and some members of the high courts are doing to mutilate the commitment of the State.
It is unprecedented that the same Congress of the Republic that endorsed the Agreements and issued the constitutional reforms that incorporated the Special Jurisdiction for Peace and the political participation of former combatants to the Colombian juridical order, intended in the issuance of the corresponding laws, to make invalid the constitutional reforms. Likewise they also would like to see the Court that just sentenced that the Agreements could not be modified, act in the opposite direction.
We are in the right, we have no doubt of it. Any additional requirement to that established in the Agreements, which seeks to leave out the FARC or its leaders from full participation in the elections of 2018, constitutes a flagrant violation of the agreement.
The same, for example, applies to the alleged incorporation of absurd inabilities and incompatibilities aimed at preventing the nomination of the judges chosen for the JEP.
Our political force communicated at the beginning of this month to the country and the world, the names of those who will lead our lists to the Senate of the Republic and the House of Representatives, in full accordance with the Havana Agreement. In the same way, it has announced that our candidate to the Presidency will be Rodrigo Londoño Echeverry, Timo, and Dr. Imelda Daza Cotes to the Vice Presidency, an excellent example of the Colombian woman.
That announcement was enough to make a great part of the Establishment tremble with fear.
Hence they prepared to forge the grossest violation of what was agreed in Havana.
We'll go on as planned, we left arms because we were guaranteed the full exercise of our political rights.
They solemnly gave us their word. And we'll reclaim it.
We will have congressmen. And we will vote for Timo and Imelda on May 27.

Since Thursday, the "Marketing Management" module has been on the curriculum for our MBA students in their second semester. In the sub-section "Global Marketing and Consumer Behavior" Prof. Dr. Edith Rüger-Muck teaches international marketing strategies and market entry forms and therefore also deals with business practices and consumer preferences (including exciting blind tastings) in foreign markets.
In their case study "Israeli Wines in China: Reaching for New Heights", students analyse why the entry of the Israeli winery "Golan Heights Winery" into the Chinese market is slow, although wine as a cultural asset is enjoying increasing attention among Chinese consumers.
The students first create a "Country, Business & Culture Profile of China" to work out the country, the business habits (do's and dont's) and cultural peculiarities in a collage and role-play and then develop the reorientation of the marketing strategy with a marketing plan tailored to the country including an adapted marketing mix.
Next week we will continue with the module "Channel Management" and Prof. Dr. Pierre Mora from KEDGE Business School in Bordeaux, who has the interactive business game "The French Paradox" in his luggage.

Thousands place wreaths on veterans graves at Saratoga National Cemetery
Thousands place wreaths on veterans graves at Saratoga National Cemetery
By: Joseph Tingley Special to The Post-Star Dec 16, 2018 Updated 1 hr ago
RE: https://poststar.com/news/local/thou...ac0860505.html
SARATOGA On Saturday morning, thousands of volunteers, current military and cemetery staff braved the cold to meet in the Gerald B.H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery to lay wreaths on the graves of the veterans buried there. The ceremony was part of a nationwide program called Wreaths Across America, which places wreaths on the graves of veterans across the country every Dec. 15.
Lt. Col. Anita Martin of the Civil Air Patrol was one of the event coordinators for Saratoga National Cemeterys observance of the commemoration, which is meant to be a day to remember for those who have served in the military and their families.
Martin said that this years observance had more than 2,000 volunteers signed up, and that more usually show up than expected to do their part. She said this time of year especially, it is important to honor and remember those who served and continue to serve in the armed forces.
This is a time when it comes to mind the service of our veterans, Martin said.
The ceremony which preceded the wreath laying began at noon, five minutes before the ceremony, thousands had already arrived, and traffic remained backed up for miles, according to one volunteer.
Cadet Second Lieutenant Hope McHenry of the Civil Air Patrol Cadets was among those who spoke at the ceremony. During her remarks, McHenry said it is important to remember the freedoms we enjoy as Americans were not given, but earned, and the sacrifice of our veterans must not be forgotten.
Today, we show a united front across the United States of America, to honor the fallen, McHenry said.
Shortly before the program concluded, and volunteers scattered to lay their wreaths, McHenry encouraged each volunteer to write down the name and information of one of the veterans buried in the cemetery, and to research their service. She said it is important to remember that behind each grave there is a service member, a family and a story.
You will find out that they were real Americans with families, McHenry said.
Lt. Col. Dave Panzera of the U.S. Air Force who formerly served as a member of the 109th Air Lift Wing based in Schenectady also spoke at the ceremony and said the project was not only a way to honor the veterans buried in the cemetery, but to pass on a legacy to younger generations.
Panzera said that such an event would not have been possible without the work of the thousands volunteers and expressed his appreciation for their assistance.
What dedication to be out here in the cold, Panzera said. They are here because they are grateful, patriotic Americans.
Allen and Joyce Bartlett were two of the volunteers who signed up to assist with the ceremony. Joyce said they have attended the ceremony before, but this was their first year volunteering.
Its nice to come and honor everybody, Joyce said.
In addition to laying a wreath on the grave, volunteers were encouraged to say the veterans name aloud. Panzera said that in doing so, every volunteer was, in a way, meeting a veteran and thanking them.
As the ceremony concluded, volunteers began to spread out across the cemetery to place more than 12,000 wreaths.
At the cemeteries columbarium, Trevor and Teagan Ketcham placed a wreath on the grave of their grandfather, a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy.
He was a big part of our lives and he taught us about the importance of the military and service, Teagan said.
Trevor Ketcham followed in his grandfathers footsteps. He is now a petty officer in the U.S. Navy, and said his grandfathers lessons and service were a large part of his decision to enlist.
Among the volunteers present for the ceremony and wreath laying, were Junior ROTC cadets from the La Salle Institute, a college-preparatory school in North Greenbush. Cadet Sergeant Ryan Patrick said it was an honor to be part of the days ceremonies.
Its really special to take part giving back to those people who paid the ultimate price for us,Patrick said.
Marin said that while this year the program placed more than 12,000 wreaths, the cemetery continues to grow. She said every year about 1,000 graves are added to the cemetery, which puts financial pressure on the project to purchase enough wreaths, each of which costs approximately $15.
If you are a fundraising group, please help us take the pressure off next year, we need 13,000 wreaths, Martin said.
The Wreaths Across America Project began in 1992 in Arlington National Cemetery. Since then, the organization has expanded its reach to include over 1,000 sites around the country, according to the organizations website.
O Almighty Lord God, who neither slumberest nor sleepest; Protect and assist, we beseech thee, all those who at home or abroad, by land, by sea, or in the air, are serving this country, that they, being armed with thy defence, may be preserved evermore in all perils; and being filled with wisdom and girded with strength, may do their duty to thy honour and glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Enough blame to go around
By Lisa Fabrizio
Now that the baseball season is in full bloom it has, unlike the brilliant springtime flora and fauna, spawned much unsightliness in the form of sports-radio talk. The constant yammering is almost enough to make one thankful for the intrusion of the interminable NFL draft.
Instead of reveling in the beauty of baseball's constancy while appreciating its enduring ability to surprise -- like Omar Vizquel's amazing pivot in an elusive four-six-five double play earlier in the season -- many fans are wasting time debating the complex issues surrounding Barry Bonds.
When discussing the enigmatic Mr. Bonds it is clear that he is a most singular personality, yet some of the problems which engulf him are symptomatic of modern baseball itself. But the greed, egotism, cheating, phony charges of racism and even disdain for the fans are not exclusive to either the players or the owners.
Greed is defined as "an excessive or insatiable desire for wealth or gain." Depending on who's acting on that desire, greed is either one of the seven deadly sins or the engine of the American Dream. The tired charge that baseball is only recently "all about money" speaks of an ignorance of its history. I suggest reading two books: Eight Men Out by Eliot Asinof and Ty Cobb's autobiography, My Life in Baseball: The True Record.
The truth is, in the earlier days of the game the greed was all one-sided. Though individual players have staged holdouts for higher pay almost since the game's inception, the owners ruled with an iron hand until 1965 when the Major League Baseball Players Association was created.
Former steel unionist Marvin Miller's MLBPA leveled the playing field, bringing collective bargaining to the game. He used arbitration to break baseball's reserve clause, thus enabling free agency; an event that changed the face of American sports forever.
But by the time of the advent of free agency, a much greater innovation had already changed the face of America itself forever: the television set. And while it is easy to blame either the owners or the players union for escalating salaries, one need look no further than the influence of the idiot box.
Imagine that you were a bank teller in the late 1940's and one day someone decided that your fellow citizens around the country would enjoy watching you ply your trade and pay great sums of money for that privilege. How should that windfall -- which costs neither you nor your employer a dime -- be distributed between you?
And for those who still decry the eight-figure salaries of some players, one wonders why similar outrage is not directed at other entertainers like Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise or Paul McCartney who earn even more? Again, those who themselves pursue the American Dream and celebrate its attainment by some, seem to resent it when it is achieved by those in the sports world.
Perhaps one reason is the degree of egotism displayed by those like Mr. Bonds and others of his ilk as they play a game most of us enjoyed in our youth as one that is team-oriented. But this type of selfish play is also an offshoot of TV money and free-agency, as huge contracts with personal incentives undermine the notion of teamwork so essential to baseball.
This shift in the way the game is played is only one example of the disdain shown by both owners and the union toward baseball's fans. This disdain is manifested in many ways; from the schedule-busting nonsense that is interleague play, to the meaningless and contrived World Baseball Classic, the powers that be have dulled the beautiful symmetry of the game "in the interests of baseball."
Equally fan-friendly has been the elimination of the regularly scheduled doubleheaders so loved and remembered by baseball aficionados across the land, which were sacrificed at the altar of union demands. Gone too are those sun-washed, languid afternoons spent watching your favorite team play two after a rainout, replaced instead by the insidious advent of the day-night twinbill designed by the owners to grab the most cash.
Worse yet, Major League Baseball switched its schedule maker in 2004 with the awful result that both the Yankees and the Mets were off on Memorial Day last year; nor did the Yankees play on Labor Day. Unforgivably, in the New York metropolitan area, home of the "boys of summer," the holidays that bookend that glorious span saw those ballparks dark.
In his farewell to the game, only weeks before his death, Babe Ruth famously said, "The only real game -- I think -- in the world is baseball." To paraphrase Ben Franklin who spoke similarly of our republic: Yes, if you can keep it.

Our Iceland photo tours are driven by our passion for photography and the Icelandic nature. Nearly all digital photo solutions provide birthday photography and cater customized photo cards to let you style and make your photo greeting cards more private, could it be for wedding invitations, birthdays, holidays, anniversaries or for any special occasions.
Personally, Steve has help me enhance my photography each technically and artistically – I especially bear in mind him pointing out a fantastic photo opportunity in Casablanca which he taught me to anticipate and take the photo I want rather than missing the opportunity.
Whilst photography underpins this holiday, you will also experience a complete variety of Lappish activities including dog sledding and snowmobiling, whilst also gaining an understanding of this really unique natural environment and the nearby culture.
Small group adventure specialists, Exodus, have a modest programme of wildlife photography expeditions led by expert photographer, Paul Goldstein, focusing on exotic wild life and events such as polar bears in Spitzbergen or the wildebeast migration in Kenya.
The greatest thing about running photography courses is seeing what other individuals get out of it, when a person truly begins to realize their camera and you can virtually see them realising the possibilities that they can obtain with a camera, that is genuinely really special.

It doesn't matter how much evidence you throw at Hollywood or their associated copyright enforcement agencies, piracy and the viewing of illegally acquired content will always be something they want to wipe out. A new patent application from Microsoft could well aid them in that quest.
The patent has the ominous title of "Content Distribution Regulation by Viewing User." It details a system whereby the people sitting in view of a TV can be detected using cameras and sensors like those found in the Kinect motion controller. Once logged, the content provider can assess the audience and either choose to charge more for viewing the content or block access based on there being too many people.
Those are just two of the extremes such a system could be used for. A cable provider could just as easily log the ages and gender of the people watching the TV and adapt advertising or limit (mature) content accordingly. But even so, this isn't a system that would go down well with consumers, and how are they going to enforce its use? "This content can only be viewed with the Microsoft Kinect turned on." is not a message I can see working as part of a content distribution system.
This patent has come about because the Kinect exists. The inventors include lead Kinect developer Alex Kipman, director of Xbox Incubation Andrew Fuller, and executive director of Xbox Incubation Kathryn Stone Perez. Xbox Incubation is Microsoft's team working on new hardware and where the final Kinect controller was originally developed. It's no surprise the team is continuing to figure out new ways to use the device, I just wish they were coming up with ideas that are a little less draconian.

Although, Hera is a loved goddess by many mortals and other gods and goddesses, if she found out her husband Zeus was sleeping with another woman, she would punish his lovers and their children until death. She was a very jealous wife and would do anything to protect marriage. Hera was the daughter of Cross and Read, sister of Poseidon, Hestia, Hades, Demeter, and Zeus (brown. edu).
Hera's worship is known to go back farther than her husband, and brother, Zeus. Her parents were also brother and sister. Since goddesses could change into many forms, she changed into a bird and was worshiped through out Greece for many years. In fact, the oldest, most important temples in Greece are shrines to her because of her worship during this time, but her favorite city is said to be Argos (brown.
edu). Also, Hera had sacred animals. They were peacocks and a cow. The peacocks were a symbol of pride, and the cow meant big eyes (ancient culture. com). What I think that these animals are sacred to her because they describe her.
The peacocks mean pride, that shows everyone that even though her husband cheats on her, she still is living and they are still married so Zeus must love her the most out of all of his lovers. Plus, since she is a feared goddess, she has power over others and she always gets her revenge on her husbands lovers. No matter what, she has pride. Then, the cows mean big eyes, so that is telling others that she knows what they are doing, so beware. Hera is the goddess of life, Queen of the Gods, goddess of marriage and child birth, and also protector of married women (Princeton. edu).
Even though she was the goddess of child birth, Hera did not have many children herself. Ares, god of war, and Hebe, goddess of youth, were children of Zeus. Hephaestus was created with on partner. Although, some say that he was the child of Zeus (brown. edu). Typhon and Dionysus were also created with no partner.
On the other hand, Zeus was famous for his affairs and many other children to his lovers. Zeus had an affair with Semele, and these two creates Dionysus 2. Semele died because of her jealousy of Hera. The next affair was Io. Hera turned her into a cow, but Zeus still mated with her.
He turned himself into a bull. Zeus also had an affair with Leto. Hera hunted her all over the earth. Hera did not like her husband cheating, so she got revenge on either the lovers, or their children. Also, Hera punished others who crossed her. Tiresias was blinded by Hera because she said women enjoy the pleasures of love ten times more than men (brown.
edu). Hera also took away Echos voice because she kept her talking for a long time and kept her from capturing the nymphs who were with Zeus (brown. edu). Hera had no remorse for anyone or anything.
She was a strong goddess and if someone or something crossed her, she would make sure that they were punished. Hera wanted to influence the outcome of the Trojan War, so she made a plan to distract Zeus (since he watched over the war). Hera planed to seduce Zeus. After this, Zeus would fall asleep, and she could do as she pleased with influencing the war.
Zeus favored the Trojans, but Hera favored the Greeks. Their son, Ares, fought for both sides because he loved war (royalty. nu)! Hera took the Greeks side because Paris, the Trojan prince, said that Aphrodite was the most beautiful goddess.

Most businesses begin as a single person with a product or idea and a dream. At first, they will take care of every aspect of their business alone. When their business starts to grow, it could reach a point where it's time to scale the business and build a team. This is a good sign and is usually an exciting time for a new business owner. In order to ensure that your business has the best chance of growing and succeeding, it is crucial to hire the best people for the job. Each new business has certain hires they need to make first and foremost. Below are some of the more important hires when starting a new business.
Project Manager
According to information found on www.entrepreneur.com, one of the very first and important hires that should be made is a project manager. While the company is growing, the pipeline needs to stay full and the project manager is necessary to keep a close eye on the timeline of the company and be sure all of its moving parts are running according to plan. A project manager needs to be very good at communicating and holding other key staff accountable for their selected tasks and milestones. They will also be typically in charge of scheduling the business meetings and keeping in close contact with the company's managers.
While hiring a part-time accountant could very well work out in the beginning stages of a small business, it is best to hire a full-time accountant once your business starts to grow. As the company grows, the accountant can grow into your financial adviser and they can keep an eye on excess spending which if left unaddressed is usually the cause of many businesses to fail. Without effective finance management, extra funds could be being spent without being noticed until it is too late.
Marketing Associate
When you have a small business, it is crucial to be continuously creating new marketing and advertising strategies to help grow each year. According to www.smetoolkit.org, continually marketing your business in the beginning stages is crucial for success and developing your brand. Having an experienced marketing associate is key to getting word out about your products and services. An experienced marketer will be able to successfully identify your target markets to attract new and loyal customers.
Administrative Assistant
While you are running the bigger jobs of the business, it is important to have someone taking care of the day-to-day tasks of the business as well. Things like data entry, making business calls, scheduling and tracking shipments are a few of the things that need to be taken care of each day to keep your business running smoothly. It may not be a glamorous position, however, it is typically one of the most important jobs for a small business. This position requires someone ready to take on a small role in every aspect of the business to help it continue to grow.
Seeing your business begin to grow can be both exciting and stressful. The hiring of key individuals for the growth of your business is essential to propel your business forward. Finding the right people for each job and adding them to your team can set your business up for success both now and in the future.

Strange Bedfellows/ posted in: Pets
By bedmates are getting uppity. I keep waking up with no covers. The SO doesn't have any either. When two humans sleep under a cover, it is suspended between them. So when a Freckles dog jumps on the suspended cover it pulls it a bit off the humans. This is both understandable and expected.
However, when I wake up with no covers and Freckles is snoring happily on a nest made of ALL the covers, there has been foul play. Even if the blankets just magically fell off of us and onto Freckles, it doesn't account for how they all end up in a ball under her. She claims no knowledge of how this happens but she defends her blankets like a dragon guarding her hoarde.
If that isn't enough last night I found that I was sharing my pillow. I recently got a satin pillowcase. Powder has decided that it is an appropriate surface for her highness to recline upon. That cat is the worst bedhog I've ever slept with. How an 8 lb cat can take up 3/4 of a bed is a mystery but she can. You can't shove her over either. In repose she gains hundreds of pounds. Knowing this I guess I should be glad that she deigned to share the pillow with me instead of just shoving me off of it.
She was draped around my head when I woke up. She allowed me to roll over but when I put my hand on the pillow to move it, she put a paw over my hand in a very clear "DON'T" gesture.
They have me well trained.

Steak House is the eagerly awaited début album from Scottish blues rockers GT's Boos Band, one of the hottest emerging blues bands around in the UK right now. Described as 'blues with feeling', the GT's Boos Band sound is a no-holds barred combination of blistering guitar solo's and a rock influenced vocal which remains true to the blues. Early 2013 saw the band's creative juices come to the fore and, drawing heavily on the somewhat colourful experiences of the youthful GT, they wrote their début album 'Steak House'. One of the songs from Steak House, 'What I'm Wishing', appears on volume III of the critically acclaimed series of Scottish blues compilation albums, 'Jocks Juke Joint'. The band has already had extensive airplay, including an appearance on Paul Jones' show on BBC Radio 2, with Netherlands DJ John van Lent also commenting, 'it's a privilege to be able to broadcast such songs for you.' Describing the guitar solos of Johnny Boos, he said "I think he's BRILLIANT!"

text: Digital Facebook Responds To Blocked Robert Scoble Comment Tech blogger and Rackspace Startup Liaison Officer Robert Scoble got mixed up in a minor brouhaha with Facebook over the weekend regarding a comment he tried to leave on the Facebook page of Max Woolf, which the social network did not allow him to post.By David Cohen|May 7, 2012 Share By David Cohen|May 7, 2012 Share Tech blogger and Rackspace Startup Liaison Officer Robert Scoble got mixed up in a minor brouhaha with Facebook over the weekend regarding a comment he tried to leave on the Facebook page of Max Woolf, which the social network did not allow him to post. To Facebook's credit, the social network responded rapidly to Scoble's concerns. While Scoble's total of more than 240,000 followers on Facebook and his influence within the tech community certainly didn't hurt, the quick action on a Saturday was impressive. Here was Scoble's Facebook post early Saturday that got the ball moving: Wow, does Facebook do sentiment analysis on comments and keep you from posting negative comments? I just tried posting a long comment to @Max Woolf's comment area, and Facebook kept me from posting, showing me this error message. Has anyone seen this before? This shows the kind of machine learning and content analysis that Facebook is doing to keep everything "happy" here. The comment was analysis about another tech blog. This is sort of scary, but also intriguing. I don't know of any other social network that analyzes your content in real-time, looking for stuff that's bad to post. Anyone at Facebook want to talk about what the system is doing here and what kinds of things the algorithms are looking for? Scoble posted later Saturday, after Facebook's response: I just talked with Facebook PR about my "comment censorship issue." They say what actually happened is that my comment was classified as spam. He further said that this was a "false positive" because my comment was one that Facebook doesn't want to block. It turns out that my comment was blocked by Facebook's spam-classification filters, and that it wasn't blocked for what the comment said, but rather because of something unique to that message. They are looking more into it and will let me know more later, after they figure out what triggered it. Their thesis is that my comment triggered it for a few reasons: I'm subscribed to @max.woolf and am not a friend of his in the system. This means that the spam-classification system treats comments more strictly than if we were friends. My comment included three @ links. That probably is what triggered the spam classification system. There might have been other things about the comment that triggered the spam system. The PR official I talked with told me that the spam-classification system has tons of algorithms that try to keep you from posting low-value comments, particularly to public accounts (er, people who have turned on subscriptions here on Facebook). I actually appreciate that Facebook is trying to do something about comment quality. I had to recently change my privacy settings to only allow friends of friends to comment on my posts because I was getting so many poor comments on my posts (when I did that, the poor-quality posts instantly stopped). The PR person also said that a team is looking into why this message got a false positive, and will be adjusting the algorithms to let messages like these get through the system. Also, the error message made it sound like the message was blocked because of the content of the message, not because it looked spammy. They are looking into the wording of the error and will update that to make the error clearer as to what's going on and why the spam classification system got kicked in. More as I learn more. Facebook also responded to a query on the issue by TechCrunch: To protect the millions of people who connect and share on Facebook every day, we have automated systems that work in the background to maintain a trusted environment and protect our users from bad actors who often use links to spread spam and malware. These systems are so effective that most people who use Facebook will never encounter spam. They're not perfect, though, and in rare instances, they make mistakes. This comment was mistakenly blocked as spammy, and we have already started to make adjustments to our classifier. We look forward to learning from rare cases such as these to make sure we don't repeat the same mistake in the future. Scoble raises a good point: While the initial fear of censorship raised alarms, we'd rather see Facebook trying to do something about spam and poor-quality comments, and suffer errors such as what happened this past weekend, than see the social network stand idly by and let the nonsense flow freely.

Terms of the settlement between Jane Smith and Bar Harbor Airlines were not revealed on agreement of both parties, said Bar Harbor spokesman Steve Mason. Samantha, 13, of Hallowell, Me., her father, Arthur, and six other people were killed Aug. 25, 1985, when Bar Harbor Flight 1808 from Boston crashed near an airport in Auburn, Me. They were returning home from London, where Samantha had filmed a segment of the TV series "Lime Street." Samantha gained fame in 1982 when she wrote then-Soviet leader Yuri V. Andropov of her concerns about the dangers of nuclear war, and Andropov invited her to tour the Soviet Union.

Here is a pretty simple vegan blueberry muffin recipe. Still people ask me how can you bake without eggs and butter etc but it's so so easy if you have the right recipes. I find it is just kinda rethinking the basics of baking and the equations of the recipe. Vegans did not invent eggless muffins and cakes, those recipes have been around for decades if not centuries. Back in early early 1900s during the World Wars women were coming up with new ways to make delicious treats with the rations they had… usual when they were very low or completely without dairy and eggs.
This is my interpretation of vegan blueberry muffins in which I use the Baking soda with vinegar method to make them rise. In fact that probably my favourite method for all baking. It always seems failsafe. Check out my recipe for Chocolate and Coffee Cake and Chocolate Chunk Muffins. It tastes much better when you know its 100% free from animal products.
Vegan Blueberry Muffins
Yields 12
- 2 cups plain flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup non dairy milk (soya or oat works best)
- seeds from 1/2 fresh vanilla pod
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup sunflower/ vegetable oil
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 1/2 cup freh/frozen blueberries
- Preheat your oven to 180ºc.
- Sift together the plain flour, baking soda, salt and sugar into a large mixing bowl.
- Place milk in a separate bowl and whisk in the vanilla. Then stir in the apple cider and vinegar and let it sit for a few minutes. This will create a sort of buttermilk, so if it starts to curdle that's totally normal!
- Throw the milky curdle mix into the flour mixture, then add the oil and almond extract on top and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or spatula until there are no dry patches left.
- Gently stir in you blueberries.
- Prep your muffin tin by rubbing a little bit of vegan margarine around the inside, or pop in some muffin cases. Fill 3/4 full with muffin mixture.
- Bake them for 20 minutes until golden or when a cocktail stick comes out clean. If your not using muffin cases let the muffin cool for 10 to 15 minutes before removing from the tray and placing on a cooling rack.

Changing My Image of Prayer
When I was a little girl if I was in trouble, I often heard the phrase,
"Wait until your father comes home."
Because I heard this phrase continually, I would withdraw and hide from my Dad.
By projecting the image I had of my own father I learned to see God as someone who was mostly angry with me and waiting to get me.
I realize even now at times, I hide from God when I am afraid, or think he won't accept me or forgive me.
I built a false image of God in my heart that keeps me from praying.
Once I released that image, I learned I could come to God as the writer of Hebrews tells us to—"So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God" (Heb. 4:16 NLT).
Albert Haase says in his book, Living the Lord's Prayer,
"Our image of God is one of the most, if not the most important aspects of our spiritual formation. Our God image shapes and colors everything about our personal spirituality, from why we pray to how we understand personal suffering and evil in the world." (click to tweet)
Maybe you too have created a false image of God that keeps you from the rich intimacy of prayer with God. Look at this list and circle any false image of God you realize you've adopted.
Arbitrary dictator
Divine traffic cop
Chess master
Divine trickster
Now that we've identified our false images of God, how can we be free of that image so we can enter into communion and prayer with God?
The answer might surprise you.
To correct the false image of God we have constructed in our minds we need to pray the truth over the falsehoods. (click to tweet)
The Bible has treasures of promises of the true image of God. Once you start digging to find them and praying these verses, it will begin to shape a new image of God in you and change the way you pray.
Since today is the National Day of Prayer, I thought I would share the above excerpt from a new book that I wrote with my cousin Andrea Tomassi
Live Bold: A Devotional Journal to Strengthen Your Soul.
The book is divided into 12 themes that encourage the reader to live bold daily for Jesus Christ. It is a 52 week devotional that focuses on a theme and includes an action step for the week and a bible verse related to the theme to meditate on throughout the week. We also have a Facebook Community Live Bold Series and for the month of May our theme is prayer. Please consider joining us as we focus on prayer this month and learn to pray bold prayers for Jesus!
To learn more about the Live Bold Community go to www.livingbold.org
Live Bold is available on May 15th and available now for pre-order

homegate.ch is Switzerland's leading digital real estate marketplace. With more than 9 million visits and over 184 million page views each month, as well as more than 85,000 properties currently on offer (Net-Metrix Audit 08/2017), Homegate AG is one of the leading Swiss digital companies.
For us, entering nearshoring cooperation was not only about extending our in-house software development capacities but also about gaining access to additional know-how, new ideas and fresh initiatives.
Jens, CTO Homegate AG, Zurich
Positioned as the Swiss number one real estate marketplace, Homegate was increasingly looking for new ways of how to help individuals find the right property. The commonly known, traditional way of searching properties was to be challenged as it did not reflect the capabilities of new technology developments like artificial intelligence and virtual reality. As gaining access to new knowledge – about machine learning and data engineering in particular – was recognised as a key success factor, Homegate joined engineering forces with InterVenture and tapped the necessary talent pool this way.
After my previous positions at software companies with pretty hierarchical project management structures, it is a real refreshment to be working in an environment with short feedback cycles, open communication channels and high visibility of personal achievements.

Miss America Teresa Scanlan Joins Animal Agriculture Alliance in Celebrating Work of Nation's Farmers and RanchersTuesday, October 18, 2011
(American Meat Institute)
Miss American 2011 Teresa Scanlan is teaming up with the Animal Agriculture Alliance to launch a new website http://www.realfarmersrealfood.com/, which showcases the importance of American farmers and ranchers, large and small, to our nation's security and vitality.
"Not everybody farms, but everybody has to eat," Scanlan says in the one-minute video, also available at http://www.youtube.com/animalagalliance. "Most Americans don't realize how essential and crucial agriculture is to our lives and to our economy."
Visitors to the website can:
- Sign a pledge in support of agriculture's diversity and consumer choice;
- Read and share an op-ed
showcasing American agriculture by the
Alliance's current
chairperson, Chris Ashworth, a veterinarian and rancher;
- Learn about common myths and facts about farming:
- View a collection of farm tours on video
"It's refreshing to see the positive story of American agriculture told on a national stage," says Alliance Executive Vice President Kay Johnson Smith, "Teresa has stayed true to her agricultural roots during her time as Miss America by speaking out for farmers and ranchers who often receive too little credit for the hard work that they do – feeding us every day."
For more information, or to receive audio
files of the PSA for radio broadcast, contact
Alliance Communications Director Sarah Hubbart

Atil Kutoglu's customer is "a cosmopolitan girl, like Rena Sindi who is smart and modern and is delighted by cultural influences in fashion." He continues, "My collection should mean good feelings, good looks to them. It´s about carrying Ottoman inspired fashion, cool and comfortable pieces influenced by Turkish art and Mozart operas."
This is why for the Fall 2006 collection, Atil Kutoglu's collection spoke, metaphorically to the customer. The collection beckoned fashionistas to pay heed to the new leather pieces and to the ribbon striped dresses in soft blue and pink that were mesmerizing.
He was unafraid to experiment with color as well as he showed a flower print jumpsuit as his last look, which still managed to capture the mood of opera night in Vienna or New York. Why not, the colors were selected because, "they reflect the flair of the Mozart opera (The Abduction from the Seraglio) best."

Colonizers' ships have been coming to America ever since Columbus mistook this land for India. After Poles hopped on one of these cruises they've been making this continent their home for over 400 years. The first hint about Polish immigrants appears in the annals of Jamestown, Virginia in 1609.
Polish-Americans have always been the largest Slavic origin group in the U.S. Nowadays, there are 10 million Americans of Polish descent in the U.S.
4 waves of Polish immigration to the USA
1st Polish immigration wave (ca.1800-1860) was made largely of political dissidents who fled the country after the partitioning of Poland and insurrections. These were mainly intellectuals and lesser nobility. The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service records indicate that fewer than 2,000 Poles immigrated to the U.S. between 1800 and 1860. Though, remember that for the majority of the era there was no such political entity as Poland. Immigrants arriving in America had difficulty in describing their country of origin.
2nd wave (ca. 1860- 1914) "Za chlebem" (for bread) of immigration made of a rural class seeking better economic life. In 1854 a group of 800 Polish Catholics from Silesia built a farming colony in Texas called Panna Maria. Between mid-19th century and World War I, about 2.5 million Poles immigrated to the U.S. Many Polish immigrants shared a common objective[1] of someday owning land in the U.S. or back in Poland.
3rd wave of Polish immigration happens between 1918- 1989. Owing to the political oppression in Europe (World War II and communist regime) it comprised of dissidents and political refugees. The post-war generation of Polish immigrants had a higher proportion of intellectuals, scientists, journalists. Those immigrants were better off financially than those migrating for economic reasons.
4th Polish immigration wave (since 1989) "wakacjowicze" ("travelers") made of those who come to the States for vacations, but found work stayed either illegally or legally.
Why Poles go to the U.S
Poles have always been attracted to the U.S. wages and America's needs for skilled manual labor that they could offer. They'd worked in steel mills, coal mines, meatpacking plants, oil refineries and the garment industry. Apparently, in 1619, Poles held the first labor strike in America.
At the beginning of the millennium, thanks to Poland joining the European Union, a huge wave of Poles migrated to the British Islands and Ireland. Immigration to the U.S. isn't that popular also owing to the obligatory visa application process.
The Polish today are well assimilated into American society. Even though Poles are still well represented in construction and industrial trades, they expand increasingly white-collar professional and managerial roles.
Polonia – Polish community in the U.S.
The first industrial cities and towns Poles settled were: New York, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago, and St. Louis. They worked as miners, steelworkers, meat packers and employees of car manufacturers. These Poles played a crucial role in the development and growth of the U.S. labor movement (see: Joseph Yablonski as an example). The arriving Poles settled in Polish immigrants communities called Polonia. The largest such community historically was in Chicago, Illinois.
Poles that helped build America
In the history of what would become the American republic you'll find:
Tadeusz Kościuszko (1746-1817) military leader who fought on the American side in the American Revolutionary War. Jefferson wrote that "He is as pure a son of liberty as I have ever known."[2]
Casimir Pułaski (1747-1779) a Polish noble soldier, recruited by Benjamin Franklin, also fought in the Revolutionary War. Pułaski is regarded as "the father of American cavalry."He was killed in the battle of Savannah and is still honored by Polish Americans on annual marches on October 11, Pulaski Day.
Pułaski and Kościuszko both have statues in Washington, D.C
Anthony Sadowski an early Polish-born explorer, Indian trader, and interpreter. He set up a trading post along the Mississippi River that became the city of Sandusky, Ohio.Sadowski was a great-great-great-great-great-grandfather of President Gerald Ford.
Leon Jaworski, Watergate Special Prosecutor, was a son of a Polish immigrant Joseph Jaworski. when Jaworski became a leader of a protracted contest with President Nixon securing evidence for the trial of previous senior administration officials on charges relating to the Watergate cover-up.
