ps2pdf12 [options...] {input.[e]ps|-} [output.pdf|-]
ps2pdf13 [options...] {input.[e]ps|-} [output.pdf|-]
DESCRIPTIONThe ps2pdf scripts are work-alikes for nearly all the functionality (but not the user interface) of Adobe's Acrobat(TM) Distiller(TM) product: they convert PostScript files to Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
If the output filename is not specified, the output is placed is a file of the same name with a '.pdf' extension. Either the input filename or the output filename can be '-' to request reading from stdin or writing to stdout, respectively, when used as a filter.
The three scripts differ as follows:
- -
- ps2pdf12 will always produce PDF 1.2 output (Acrobat 3-and-later compatible).
- -
- ps2pdf13 will always produce PDF 1.3 output (Acrobat 4-and-later compatible).
- -
- ps2pdf per se currently produces PDF 1.4 output. However, this may change in the future. If you care about the compatibility level of the output, use ps2pdf12 or ps2pdf13, or use the -dCompatibility=1.x switch in the command line.
There are some limitations in ps2pdf's conversion. See the HTML documentation for more information. A large number of Adobe Distiller(TM) parameters which can be used to control the conversion are also documented there, including instructions for generating PDF/X and PDF/A documents.
OPTIONSThe ps2pdf scripts use the same options as gs(1).
Converting a figure.ps to figure.pdf:

|Fedora Test Days
|Provide users from trusted Active directory domain to legacy clients
|all day
|#fedora-test-day (webirc)
|Mailing list
What to test?
Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on making the support for users coming from a trusted Active Directory domain available to legacy (non-SSSD) clients as well as providing support for using POSIX attributes from AD.
Who's available
- Development: Alexander Bokovoy (ab), Jakub Hrozek (jhrozek)
- Quality Assurance - Scott Poore (spoore), Steeve Goveas (steeve)
We need your feedback!
- Talk to us on #freeipa on Freenode
- Send as an e-mail.
- Log issues and enhancements in FreeIPA Trac or Bugzilla.
Prerequisite for Test Day
- An instance of Microsoft Active Directory 2008 R2 or newer
- A live image. Tips on using a live image are available at FedoraLiveCD.
- An up-to-date Fedora 19 instance along with a custom repository containing the required packages
- TODO - Add links to a repository at repos.fedorapeople.org
- An updated Rawhide (tips on installing Rawhide below), or a nightly live image
How to test?
This test day focuses on making users and groups from a trusted AD domain available to a wide range of clients. Even if your flavor of Linux or UNIX client is not described in the steps below, you are still welcome to join the test day! In general, the testing would include:
- Establish a trust between an IPA server and an Active Directory instance following the steps below
- Set up the LDAP client software (such as nss_ldap or pam_ldap) on your client to point to the IPA server
- Retrieve identity information about users coming from the trusted AD domain
- Authenticate as a user coming from the trusted AD domain
Please report any issues you find using the channels described above or simply start a thread on the freeipa-users mailing list.
Test Cases
Install/Setup Tests:
- 1. IPA server and client installation.
- After finishing this test case, you would have a working IPA server and a client
- 2. Establish trust with an AD server.
- When this test case is completed, the trust relationship between an IPA server and an AD server would be established
- 3. Use nss-pam-ldapd to give access to trusted domain users
- This is actual test for old clients using nss-pam-ldapd (http://arthurdejong.org/git/nss-pam-ldapd). We are interested in test on RHEL 4/5, FreeBSD, and Solaris/AIX
Test Results
Construct a table or list to allow testers to post results. Each column should be a test case or configuration, and each row should consist of test results. Include some instructions on how to report bugs, and any special instructions. Here's an example, from a Palimpsest test day:
If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla usually for the component udisks, or gnome-disk-utility for bugs in the Palimpsest graphical front end itself. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one. For each test case, use the result template to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.

ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT is a sweet film that, like its predecessors in the franchise, delivers the same earnest message about friendship and family. Exactly the same message. If the lessons to be learned by the characters old and new, though, have a too familiar feel, and if some of the tropes are barely a re-hash of previous ones, there is the virtue here of some truly dynamic animation, voice work that is the gold standard for animated films, and an open-hearted sincerity.
The story picks up several years after the last film ended. Mammoths Manny (Ray Romano) and Ellie (Queen Latifah) are now the proud parents of a teenage daughter, Peaches (Keke Palmer). She is a spirited girl with a sense of adventure that worries the overprotective Manny far more than the ominous subterranean rumblings shaking up the landscape. Not that he shouldnt be worried about both, as Peaches sneaks out with her best friend Louis (Josh Gad), to hand with the cool kids in an act of defiance that leads to the family being separated when the continents do what the flicks title promises. While Ellie leads the diverse Pleistocene community to safety from the encroaching tectonic plate, Manny finds himself adrift at sea on a shrinking ice floe with pals Diego the cynical and sarcastic Sabretooth tiger (Dennis Leary) with a soft heart and an acid tongue, Sid the sweet but addled sloth (John Leguizamo), and Sids newly arrived, not sweet, and even more addled grandmother (Wanda Sykes).
While Peaches is learning a lesson about the difference between a hormone surge and friendship, Manny is dealing with a primordial, ice-berg sailing pirate, Captain Gutt (Peter Dinklage), a nefarious ape with a penchant for bursting into song and taking revenge. Manny inspires him to both while Diego may or may not be warming up to Shira (Jennifer Lopez), the pirates toothsome saber-toothed first mate. The latter story is the one that is more fun, to be sure, though there is no faulting the nurturing tones that Queen Latifah brings to her voice work, nor the genuine poignancy of how painful betrayal of a first crush can be.
There is more imagination at work in Mannys story. Gutts pirate crew is a bizarre parallel of Mannys cohorts, with a pudding-like seal and an unaccountably feisty rabbit, and the nefarious doings are a bracing match for the fanciful flourishes that include sirens and a herd of rodents that are cute, cuddly, and unexpectedly inventive.
As oceans roil, and continents collapse in interesting and dangerous ways, Manny and Ellie brave impossible odds to be reunited. Odds that include grandmas tendency to wander away while tossing their food supplies to her imaginary pet, Precious. Manny and Ellie carry the emotional thread of the story, leaving the ancillary ones to provide the comic relief, particularly Syd, whose longing for acceptance is in eternal, and eternally stalemated, battle with his wistful stupidity. The funniest moments, though, are for the lesser characters to provide, the best of them being the returning possum brothers when they reveal the secret to their unbounded happiness. The answer is either immensely wise, or immensely silly, but either way, is topped off with a perfectly calibrated nose beep that rivals the perfection of the minor character, and mascot of the franchise, the scrappy but luckless every-rodent, Scrat.
Hes back, though not as prominent as in the last film, alas. Yet it is his adventures that start things off as his never-ending quest to retain possession of his precious acorn results in global crisis, and, in an exquisitely ironic twist of fate, confronts the pleasure principle with a reaction that is rife with the philosophical conundrums posed by great thinkers through the ages.
ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT moves quickly, is well directed, and from time to time achieves some real suspense. If it also shows how the franchise is wearing a little thin, it also shows why it has lasted this long.

Purpose :
Intraocular pressure is set by resistance generation to aqueous humor outflow in the juxtacanicular region where trabecular meshwork (TM) and Schlemm's canal (SC) cells interact. Elements of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may contribute to outflow resistance since modulation of some RAS enzymes decrease IOP in experimental glaucoma. Our objective is to examine the expression of the (pro)renin receptor (PRR) and evaluate the effects of renin on signaling in and protein expression by cultured human SC cells.
Methods :
RNA isolated from two human SC and three TM cells strains at confluence was tested using RT-PCR for expression of renin and PRR. In parallel, one SC cell strain was treated with renin (10-6, 10-7, and 10-8M) in 1% FBS-low glucose DMEM for 48 h and fibronectin content in conditioned media was analyzed by Western blot. Beta-catenin localization in cells was assessed by immunofluorescence microscopy.
Results :
PRR, but not renin, was expressed in both SC and TM cells strains. Immunofluorescence analysis showed predominantly a cytoplasmatic and plasma membrane distribution of beta-catenin in untreated SC cells, while beta-catenin translocated to nucleus in 53% of renin-treated cells. In a biphasic dose-dependent fashion, renin increased fibronectin secretion from SC cells. Renin also appeared to cause morphological alterations that needs to be characterized further.
Conclusions :
Cultured human SC cells appear not to express renin, but have a functional system for responding to renin in the aqueous humor. Its role in resistance generation needs to be explored in future studies.
This is an abstract that was submitted for the 2016 ARVO Annual Meeting, held in Seattle, Wash., May 1-5, 2016.

For yours and mine. What is SOOL? How is SOOL? SOOL is everything, everyone and none – SOOL is a phantasm, a creation, which reflects the album's atmosphere, and also my person. I am me; but I am also what you made me for, what you do with me and what I do with you. And, SOOL is curiosity, room, and architecture. Sketches; drawing; adhering", says Ellen Allien.

2d Session.
No. 94.
[To accompany Joint Resolution No. 58. ]
FEBRUARY 22, 1855.-Ordered, that 100,000 extra copies be printed.
Mr. May, from the Select Committee on the Washington National
Monument, made the following
On the 13th of July, 1854, it was resolved that a select committee of thirteen members be appointed to consider the memorial of the Washington National Monument Society, and the following gentlemen were appointed the members of the committee :
Mr. May, of Maryland; Mr. J. GLANCY JONES, of Pennsylvania; Mr. REESE, of Georgia; Mr. PURYEAR, of North Carolina; Mr. HASTINGS, of New York; Mr. ELIOT, of Massachusetts; Mr. OLIVER, of Missouri; Mr. PRATT, of Connecticut; Mr. ELLISON, of Ohio; Mr. VAIL, of New Jersey; Mr. McMULLEN, of Virginia; Mr. Macy, of Wisconsin; and Mr. DOWDELL, of Alabama. The Select Committee of Thirteen, to whom was referred the memorial of the Board of Managers of the Washington National Monument Society, beg leave to report : That this memorial states, "that in the year 1833, an association of individuals was formed in this city for the purpose of raising funds, by appeals to the patriotism of the people, for the erection of a monument, in the national metropolis, to the memory of the Father of his Country.
"That your memorialists, and their predecessors, elected managers of the association, have gratuitously given their services, at great personal sacrifice, to the promotion of its objects; that they have been enabled to raise the proposed monument to the height of 170 feet; that 347 feet remain yet to be erected; that the funds of the association are entirely exhausted; and all recent efforts on the part of your memorialists to obtain means for completing the work have proved abortive, and that your memorialists are unable to devise any plan more likely to succeed.
"Under these circumstances, they feel it to be their duty to bring to the notice of the representatives of the States and people of the
Union these facts, in order that such action may be had on them as to the assembled wisdom and patriotism of the nation may seem meet.
" First Vice-President. "ELISHA WHITTLESEY,
"General Agent. "JOHN CARROLL BRENT,
It will be seen that no specific prayer is presented; but upon the facts stated above, the society submits it to the wisdom of Congress to provide such measures as may be appropriate to the subject.
Your committee conceive that the duty is devolved upon them, on the part of the House of Representatives, to recommend such measures; and being deeply impressed with all the associations attending so interesting and hallowed a subject, they have well considered it.
As early as 1783 Congress ordered that an equestrian statue of Washington should be erected, "to testify the love, admiration, and gratitude of his countrymen ;" and again, when the mournful intelligence of his death was communicated, on 24th December, 1799, that a marble monument, with suitable inscriptions, should be erected in the Capitol to the memory of Washington, and that it be " so designed as to commemorate the great events of his military and political life." It is painful to observe that these resolutions have not yet been executed. Perhaps the claims of kindred, and of his native State, have prevailed against that resolution, which ordered that his remains should be entombed beneath the monument to be erected in the Capitol. We know that his honored widow consented that this should be done; yet, Mount Vernon still holds the sacred remains of him who was "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." Your committee could not but feel that these obligations, resolved upon as they were by the great and good men who were witnesses of his sublime life and character, and who were also associates of his fame, yet remain upon Congress.
Aware that a marble statue has been erected within the grounds of the Capitol, and an equestrian statue ordered by the last Congress to be raised, yet your committee think that these testimonials are not adequate to fulfil the obligation so solemnly assumed.
States and cities have raised their grateful tributes, in marble, to Washington. Maryland, near forty years ago, undertook her part in this patriotic duty, and her noble monument, at Baltimore, attests the love and gratitude of her people towards a chief whose steps their fathers so faithfully followed through the trying scenes of the Revolution. And Virginia, with gratitude unsatisfied by a faithful statue, is now raising, at Richmond, a monument, proportioned to the greatness of her son. And North Carolina, too, invoked the highest living art to present, at Raleigh, the image of the Father of his Country, to the admiring eyes of her patriotic children. And memorials of public and private love and gratitude towards him are to be found throughout the land, commemorating a universal veneration. But no national tribute of adequate design has yet been raised-no offering fit to
denote a country's gratitude has been constructed. Yet who shall deny that the fame of Washington deserves the grandest of human monuments, or say that such tributes can be multiplied beyond the measure of his claims?
A voluntary association of patriotic citizens of Washington, as early as 1833, conceived the purpose of erecting a national monument to the memory of Washington at the Metropolis of the republic. This association was organized under the name of "The Washington National Monument Society ;' Chief Justice Marshall was its first president, and after him ex-President Madison. The proposed monument was intended to be raised by the voluntary contributions of the American people. The society was organized on an admirable plan, and its officers undertook the duties assigned to them by its constitution, and have, as your committee are well satisfied, faithfully performed them.
The funds were to be collected in all parts of the United States; and agents, as competent and as faithful as could be found, were appointed, after giving bond for the performance of their duties.
These agents were sent to all parts of the country, and contributions were commenced and continued by the subscription of $1 for each person. This plan was adopted in order that all might have the opportunity to contribute.
In the appointment of these agents a careful scrutiny was exercised by the society, and undoubted recommendations of both character and capacity were in every case required ; and, though an opinion may prevail in some parts of the country to the contrary, your committee are satisfied that these agents generally proved to be worthy of the confidence reposed in them.
Of the large number employed, but two of them failed to account for the money collected, and legal measures, resorted to promptly by the society against their bonds, have, in one of these instances, obtained the full amount of the liability.
It may well be questioned if any society executing a plan for collecting money so extensively has met with equal success in justifying the integrity of its agents; and it is pleasing to state that not one cent of the funds received by this society has at any time been lost by investments or otherwise.
The sum of $28,000 having been raised upon this plan, it was judicibusly invested in safe funds yielding interest; and then the pulpit, the press, and the ballot-box were all invoked to aid the work; and days of sacred and patriotic associations were employed to invite a general contribution.
The restriction as to the amount of subscription being removed in 1845, the whole funds amounted by accumulations of interest, then to $62,450, and the work of building the monument was at length begun in the year 1848.
An appropriate site on the banks of the Potomac was selected out of the public reservation, under a grant from Congress. Its location is most eligible. Here the first light of the morning sun will salute, and the last rays of evening rest upon its lofty head. The coincidence is striking and interesting, that the monument now in progress is on the same site which is marked on Major L'Enfant's map for
the equestrian statue of Washington ordered by Congress in 1783; and that the map, after General Washington had examined and approved it, was presented by him to Congress.
Near this unfinished monument is the Smithsonian Institution. Its edifice is completed, its system in practical operation, and its annual income thirty thousand dollars. So much easier has it been found to give effect to the bounty of a benevolent foreigner, than to the gratitude of a nation to its founder.
The first object to meet the view, and inspire the patriotic feelings of the visiter to the national metropolis, the Washington Monument will stand before the eyes of the resident or sojourner as a perpetual memorial of him whose whole life was so signal an example of public virtue and patriotism,
On the 4th of July, 1848, the corner-stone was laid. A plan had been selected, after careful consideration of many that were proposed, and your committee highly approve of the design.
It is a noble monument, altogether worthy of the sublime character of which it is to be a grateful testimonial.
Its foundations are deeply, broadly, and securely laid, and are sufficient to support the entire superstructure.
The work, so far as it has been performed, has been faithfully done. It appears to be plain, yet beautiful; and your committee are satisfied that it will be enduring.
Each State and two of the Territories of the Union have contributed a block of marble or stone, inscribed with its arms or some suitable device, and a great many others have been offered by various institutions and societies throughout the land ; and several foreign governments have testified their desire to unite in this great work of humanity, intended to commemorate the virtues of its chief ornament and example. The boundaries of Christendom do not limit his fame, which reaches to the remotest parts of the earth, and the most distant and isolated nations have testified their veneration towards his memory. Switzerland, Rome, Bremen, Turkey, Greece, China, and Japan, have piously united to pay their homage to our Washington. Such tributes are our highest trophies. The history of mankind affords no parallel to this.
We feel bound, in this place, especially to commend the zeal and liberality of the Masonic societies, the order of Odd-Fellows, the vakous fire companies, and the touching contributions of the children of the schools of the country—all regularly dedicating their affectionate tributes. And the Cherokee and Chickasaw nations of Indians also deserve to be honored for their very liberal donations of money; commemorating also in this the eloquent sentiment of the great chief, Cornplanter, delivered to Washington in 1791: "The voice of the Seneca nation speaks to you, the great Councillor, in whose heart the wise men of all the thirteen Fires have placed their wisdom."
The shaft of the monument now reaches to the height of 170 feet. It is intended to be raised to the full height of 517 feet; so that, when completed, this monument will be proportionate to the character of its subject-the loftiest in the world.
The sum of $230,000 has been already expended upon the work, and the sum of $322,000 will be needed to complete the shaft; while the cost of the whole work, including shaft and pantheon, or base, is estimated to be $1,122,000. Let the present generation at least complete the shaft, and we may then permit those who come after us to finish the whole work.
Your committee have derived this information from the competent officers of the society, its architect, and its agents, who have charge of the work, and who have attended the sittings of the committee, explained the subject, and produced before it their plans, books, accounts, and other evidences of their transactions.
The duties of this society have demanded the constant attention of its members, and it is very gratifying to the committee to state, that neither the president, vice presidents, treasurer, secretary, nor any of the managers or members, have, from its institution, received or desired any compensation whatever. Their services have been, and will continue to be, wholly gratuitous.
We unanimously approve the plan of this monument, and of the work that has been already done; and we bear cheerful testimony to the energy, integrity, economy, and patriotic love which have animated and governed the transactions of this society, and especially we commend the design of building this monument by the voluntary contributions of the people of the United States.
We do not intend to disturb this happy arrangement, or to withdraw from the exclusive jurisdiction and control of so faithful a society the completion of a work so well begun and prosecuted; we trust, and doubt not, that it will go on, with continued attention on the part of the board of managers, and of the people of the whole country.
But at the same time, your committee think that a subscription to aid the work is due by Congress. By the faith of obligations which we have before recited, by the fact that his commission as Commanderin-Chief was bestowed on Washington by Congress, and all his glorious military services performed under their orders and authority, and by the further consideration that a sum subscribed by Congress will probably be the only mode by which each and all of the people of the United States can be said to add their share to this grateful memorial, your committee recommend that the sum of two hundred thousand dollars should be subscribed by Congress on behalf of the people of the United States, to aid the funds of the society. This was the sum devoted to the monument ordered by the resolutions of 1799, and voted by the House of Representatives on the 1st of January, 1801.
In making this recommendation we expressly disclaim engaging for any further aid by Congress to the work, on the distinct ground, that whilst it is proper Congress should make a liberal subscription towards it, yet it is both the right and duty of the people of the United States to complete it.
We cannot doubt that their disposition will prove more than adequate to this result, and that this holy work should hereafter be exclusively committed to them—to the several States, cities, towns, and other organized communities, of the whole country.

An update to the Don McGahn story about his refusal to declare that Dictator Donald Trump (DDT) didn't obstruct justice: DDT attacked his former White House counsel today, claiming that he was "Never a big fan" of McGahn and that "I was NOT going to fire Bob Mueller, and did not fire Bob Mueller…. Actually, lawyer Don McGahn had a much better chance of being fired than Mueller." This message was one of almost six dozens tweets or retweets from DDT today. He was at his Virginia golf cub several hours today.
DDT threatened China with a "far worse" trade deal in his "second term" if they "don't act now," in more of today's tweets. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said no further trade talks are planned "as of now."
The conflict encouraged by DDT in Venezuela arrived on his doorstep when forces of DDT's puppet, Juan Guaido, entered the Venezuelan embassy by force and threatened the U.S. volunteer antiwar Embassy Protection Collective. One invader left voluntarily; Secret Service escorted the other one out of the embassy. Guaido's people are blocking access to delivery of food and medicine to the embassy. DDT hasn't arrested people for their illegal actions as they cheer physical attacks on those attempting to deliver food. Utility bills have been paid in full, but the building's owner, a Guaido supporter, shut off the embassy electricity with police protecting those who did it. DDT forced legally elected president Nicholas Maduro's embassy staff to leave the country by refusing them visas.
"The Fourth Amendment doesn't apply" on the southern border, U.S. border guards told an immigrant rights advocate who was detained for over four hours with an invasive body search after acting as an observer for an asylum-seeker legally entering the U.S. Ana Adlerstein wasn't charged although officials told her she was under arrest for "illegal alien smuggling"and denied a lawyer. She supported an immigration attorney representing a man facing threats of violence in Mexico who was illegally and forcibly turned away from a port of entry for a second time after he had obtained permission to enter the U.S. Adlerstein was taken into custody for "illegal alien smuggling." In another border action, Scott Warren may go to prison for 20 years after his arrest for giving two migrants food and water. In his trial this past week, defense lawyers argued "religious freedom" for his actions. A portrait of Warren is here.
For the first time since the eight-country Arctic Council was formed in 1996, it failed to release a declaration of joint agenda because Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's delegation refuses to accept that climate change seriously threatens the polar region despite the White House's 1,000-page report explaining that DDT's anti-climate policies will devastate the Arctic. Pompeo's said that the rapidly melting Arctic devastating indigenous peoples and the rest of the planet is great for trade and mining. U.S. climate policies currently annually cost U.S. people $500 billion. DDT's anti-climate actions are so severe that Vladimir Putin made fun of the U.S. at the forum. After Pompeo refused to sign the declaration, he cancelled a trip to Germany. In Britain, he threatened Prime Minister Theresa May if her country works with the Chinese tech firm Huawei in building the 5G network.
The EPA has permitted carcinogenic contamination in at least 610 water sources through 43 states although the problem may be much worse. Acting EPA secretary, newly confirmed Secretary Andrew Wheeler, released an "action plan" to reduce PFAS contamination that has no Maximum Containment Level for PFAS in drinking water. The agency's non-enforceable advisory for PFAS applies to only two types and is much higher than risk levels. The Pentagon and the chemical industry are also not required to clean up its contaminated sites.
Ben Carson's HUD wants to eliminate all families with undocumented immigrants from public housing—25,000 families, including 55,000 children who are citizens or legal residents, most of them in California, New York, and Texas. Children with unstable housing "perform worse on standardized tests, have lower school achievement, have delayed literary skills and are more likely to be truant and are more likely to drop out." Homeless teenagers have a higher risk of substance abuse. Carson's rule has a 60-day public opinion period.
The fundamentalist Christian legal Liberty Counsel is accusing the State Department of promoting "the LGBT agenda" because homophobic Secretary Mike Pompeo, who has tried to block LGBTQ rights throughout the world, denounced "arrest and abuse" for "LGBTI" citizens. Matt Staver, leader of the hate group Liberty Counsel, said, "I'm going to Israel at the end of the month. I don't want to see a rainbow flag flying over Israel."
After DDT lobbied against a bill permitting a casino on a Massachusetts Native American reservation, Republicans withdrew their earlier support. DDT's adviser Matt Schlapp, head of a lobbying firm, was paid $30,000 to block the casino because it would compete with Schlapp's client who owns a casino in nearby Rhode Island. Mercedes Schlapp, Matt Schlapp's wife, is DDT's strategic communications director.
DDT plans to change the definition for poverty so fewer people will be poor. A few statistics:
- 28 percent of voters "falling behind in rent or mortgage payments."
- 36 percent of voters "falling behind in gas, electric, or phone bills."
- 39 "having too little money to buy food."
- 39 "being unable to get medical care because of the cost."
- 42 "paying a credit card balance."
- 48 "finding a decent job with good wages."
- 70 percent of voters, including 61 percent of DDT's voters, with at least one of these economic challenges.
Acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said that DDT would be "embarrassed" with the release of his tax returns but claimed he didn't know what was in the returns. Before that statement, he lied or "misrepresented" twice. Unlike Mulvaney's opinion, Congress is "entitled" to DDT's tax returns "by law," one in effect for almost a century. Mulvaney is also wrong saying that DDT's legally required financial disclosure forms show "how he makes money." These forms show what DDT has—not how he got it. Tax returns show the sources.
Fundamentalist Christian leader Jerry Falwell Jr. suggested that DDT get two extra years in office in reparation for the investigations into him, and DDT welcomed the idea. His own former fixer Michael Cohen said under oath, "I fear that if [DDT] loses the election in 2020, that there will never be a peaceful transition of power." Supporters of the idea should consider voiding all his actions of his first two years—all appointments including two Supreme Court justices, all decisions that the two justices voted for, all executive orders and laws that he signed, everything he's done. Before he gets those two years, Bill Clinton should be president for six of the eight years he was investigated with no indictments. Or—the best idea—DDT's entire election could be voided because federal intelligence proved that Russia helped get him elected; he might not be president without that help. Maybe everything he did could be erased.
DDT faces over 20 investigations with one going to court in three days about his attempt to quash a subpoena for financial records from the House Oversight Committee. Trump can quash a House Oversight Committee subpoena demanding financial records from his personal accounting firm. Another goes to court on Friday about his refusal to submit tax returns. Other DDT lawsuits are against his lender the Deutsche Bank, his private bank, Capital One, his defense regarding violating of the emoluments clause in the Constitution, and his security clearance process. Other investigations involve immigration issues, private communication between DDT and Putin, and the Affordable Care Act.
Former statements from current GOP members of Congress haunt their current protection of DDT's fixer AG Bill Barr. In 2012, they said, "No Justice Department is above the law and no Justice Department is above the Constitution, which each of us has sworn an oath to uphold." Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI said in 2012, "The Department [of Justice] has stood in open defiance of Congress' moral and constitutional obligation to conduct oversight of this affair." From Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) comes this assertion:
"No one can be above the law, not even the attorney general. I think an attorney general held in contempt of Congress is someone who should resign. I think it is outrageous that any attorney general, Republican or Democrat, refused to comply with Congress' constitutional right to hold them accountable and the Justice Department accountable. I would say that if this was a Republican."
Any support for Palestinians causes accusations of anti-Semitism. A few facts about Israel's taking over Palestinian land:
- 304: Gaza Palestinians killed by Israeli snipers in past year.
- 31,691: Gaza Palestinians injured by Israeli snipers in past year.
- 6: Israelis killed by Gaza Palestinians in past year
- 250: Israelis injured by Gaza Palestinians in past year: 250
DDT's outrage that the Kentucky Derby "winner" was disqualified for breaking the rules brought this response.

Exterior buttons on the stretch fabric sling mean you can control your iPod and even answer calls with the headphones cleverly tucked away near your shoulder. It certainly won't win you any style prizes, but then Mr. T and Rambo obviously never gave it a second thought when they strapped on their bandoliers. [Dew Motion]

Akitoshi Daimon (大門 明智, Daimon Akitoshi), more commonly known as Enigman (エニグマン), is the head of the Quiz Society.
When he started cosplaying during club activities, he discovered a significant difference in his personality with a mask as opposed to without. He suggested to Quecchon that they make up some interesting characters to match their cosplay, thus creating their alter-egos.
He has many female fans, making it known that he is immensely popular and handsome when not putting on his disguise as Enigman (this different identity is a rare knowledge among the public). His hair is slicked back with two strands hanging on his forehead. When not wearing his mask, he appears shy and unsure, and occasionally blushes. However, with his mask on, he dons a wide confident grin and a loud personality in contrast to his natural expressions.
He is naturally a timid man with an innocent mindset. He becomes easily embarrassed and is overly humble, particularly about his good looks. However, when he puts on his mask, he becomes a loud extrovert. He is exceptional at brain teasers and logic puzzles. Since developing a crush on his partner Quecchon, he has worn his mask significantly less often.
Major Story Points
VS the Sket Dan
Enigman appears through the Sket Dan Clubroom window and challenges the Sket Dan to a quiz battle at the rooftop of Kaimei High School. Initially, Bossun and Switch are skeptical about taking part in the quiz just for that doll but Himeko convinces them both otherwise. Once at the rooftop, Enigman introduces Quecchon to the Sket Dan and starts the quiz battle. Bossun answers all of Enigman's questions correctly. Enigman gives Himeko, a key to unlock the box that has her Pelorin doll back. Enigman leaves with Quecchon saying that they would want to battle with the Sket Dan again someday.
VS the Student Council
Much to the surprise of the Student Council, they were forced into Enigman's quiz battle at the rooftop with a photo of their mishaps at stake. After everyone agreed on the circumstances, they proceed into answering the questions that Enigman would be giving. However, Enigman planned the quiz battle to happen on the day where Agata will attend a school meeting. Thus, with their leader (who has an IQ of 160) gone, Enigman questions them whether they could beat this quiz battle. After explaining the rules, Enigman states that it will be boring if they just try to solve the quiz, so he invited the person who he deems a quiz king; Bossun. With the first question up, Asahina and Unyuu got both their answers wrong when their answers consist of both violence and money. Bossun easily came up with the answer when it was his turn. Second question, Michiru has to answer this one since it consists of himself and a bouquet of flowers. After much thinking, he confidently answers that it can be solved with "the magic of love" since he can show the girl any flower he wants. With his answer wrong, Bossun tells them the correct answer easily. Lastly, it's Tsubaki's turn and he has to answer correctly if he wants to get the picture back. Consisting of a baseball player and the amount of pitches he has thrown, Tsubaki and Bossun both got the answer wrong. At that moment, Agata appears with the intent of actually taking a nap on the rooftop but decides to help the Student Council. As a Student Council member, he says that he also has the right to answer but only wants to guess the questions with the answers as hints. Thinking that its impossible, Enigman agrees to it but surprisingly, Agata got all the questions correctly and even solved the last question. As the Student Council rejoice, Agata calls out to the now retreating Quiz Society and Bossun. He jokingly states that he'll crush them for insulting the Student Council. With that, Enigman gives them back the photo that he took which depicts the Student Council vandalizing the principle's bust.
Love Troubles
Daimon is seen walking towards the Sket Dan Clubroom with many female onlookers around him. At first glance, Bossun and Himeko couldn't figure out who this person is since they have never met him before. As Daimon begins the consultation whereby he needs help due to love troubles, Bossun asks him about his name, class and club activities. After telling them both nothing but the year he's in, Bossun wants to ask Switch but seemingly realizes that he is absent that day. After pestering and questioning Daimon even more, they figured out that the shy "Akitoshi Daimon" was actually the eccentric "Enigman" from the Quiz Society Club. At that, Bossun realizes that the person he likes must have been Quecchon. While Bossun and Himeko were pondering over the fact that Daimon and his counterpart Enigman is so different, they ask whether his personality changes whenever he puts on the mask but then disregard it as something so manga-like that it can't be true. However, Daimon confesses that he indeed does have that kind of condition, shocking both Bossun and Himeko. Daimon proceeds to tell Bossun and Himeko why he's so afraid to confess to Quecchon; that it is due to the fact that Quecchon admires Enigman, not Akitoshi Daimon. This prompts Bossun to scream and insult him with various insulting words but his purpose was to give Daimon more courage so that he can confess to Quecchon without his mask on since, according to Bossun's point of view, Daimon's not scared but only trying to mask his own feelings. With that, Daimon got up with more courage and thanks Bossun profusely for the help stating that it was "really" inspiring, although it wasn't as inspiring to both Bossun and Himeko. Then, both of them forced Daimon to confess to Quecchon right now stating that he might procrastinate again. At the hallway where the confession is taking place, Bossun and Himeko hides behind a corner to spy while Daimon tells Quecchon about his true feelings and shows his real face. Asking whether Quecchon could take her mask of as well, she agrees to it and proceeds to take of her mask. With her mask off, she tells Daimon that she too has her personality altered whenever her mask is taken off, shocking everybody. However, in contrast to the handsome but shy Akitoshi Daimon, Quecchon without her mask is a cute but with a terrible personality type of person. In the end, she rejects Daimon and leaves, telling him to not talk to her anymore.
Date Concerns
Enigman/Daimon comes to the Sket Dan for help with questions concerning Quecchon. He states that he has manage to become closer to her after the brutal rejection from Quecchon some time ago. Now they are going on a supposed date, which is actually part of their club activity. Prompting Switch to ask if that counts as an actual date to which Bossun replies him to keep quiet. So now, Daimon asks the Sket Dan to advise him on what he should do. The Sket Dan agrees to it and asks Daimon to tell them when he is supposed to meet Quecchon. Daimon tells them that he's suppose to meet her near the train station at 11.00. Bossun suggests that he comes 5 minutes earlier. However, Daimon worries that Quecchon would always arrive a minute earlier, thus he suggests that he comes 40 minutes earlier.
After deciding, Himeko tells Daimon to always complement on a girl's clothing. Daimon immediately retaliated by asking if Quecchon might have a terrible sense of fashion. Then, Daimon retaliates again by asking if Quecchon might have a good fashion sense and if someone like Daimon praises her, she would find it strange. This made Daimon ponder over the fact that he might have to go to France and learn about fashion before complementing Quecchon's looks. Daimon has come up with several scenarios that end horribly such as lunch, a photo shoot, and a roller coaster ride. Lastly, he anticipated the fact that he might let her balloon fly away and accidentally run into some delinquents while trying to get it back. Thus, he came up with the idea that Quecchon's ice cold stare will prevent him from running away, so he'll have to compensate by hitting a punching machine in the arcade. However, he thought he might break his arm if he punched too hard. With the Sket Dan completely exhausted from listening to Daimon, Bossun tells Daimon to stop thinking so negatively and that if he wants to really impress Quecchon, he'll have to start thinking on how to actually Complement on the good things about her. Daimon, finally realizing this, thanked the Sket Dan and went off to get ready for his date.
Ironically, everything Daimon anticipated had come true. Thus, the date went horribly wrong. After the date, Daimon is seen pacing quickly towards the Sket Dan Clubroom. He opens the door and tells the Sket Dan that every bad thing he pondered had come true.[1]
Quecchon's Lost Item
Daimon comes to the Sket Dan for help in looking for a mysterious item for Quecchon. At first, Quecchon wouldn't tell the Sket Dan anything at all about her item. However, since everyone was deep in thought due to thinking of finding the item, she got excited and wanted to tell a hint. With that, Bossun sketches out the hints he got from her which are a protruding head, antennas, bat eyes, bat nose and a normal mouth. After Bossun sketched it, it was deemed horrific but since the picture gave a general idea of what to find, they sought to look for the item. After ten minutes, they actually found the item which matches Bossun's sketch exactly. Everyone rejoiced the fact that something that unusual actually existed and was found by them hanging on a notice board on the first floor. Unfortunately, Quecchon rejected the item stating it was really gross prompting Quecchon to go home or asks that Daimon himself go home. However, Daimon insists she stay with them and tell them what she wants but Bossun agrees with Quecchon and tells Daimon to go home. After Daimon goes home, Bossun brings the lost item to Quecchon, a piece of beautifully wrapped chocolate shaped like Enigman's face. What Quecchon really wanted to do was to give Daimon chocolate on Valentine's Day which was two days away. Bossun found a notice stating that the chocolate was found by the cooking club and was left in their refrigerator and since Daimon was around the whole time, Quecchon couldn't tell anyone anything. At that moment, Daimon came in asking Quecchon if she was looking for this "pro wrestler's butterfly mask" which Daimon had found. The Sket Dan, now seeing a job done, quickly leaves so that Quecchon may give the chocolate to Daimon. Daimon receives the chocolate happily.
- Quecchon: He announces to the Sket Dan that he has a crush on her. He even has a poster of Quecchon on his wall, so he can practice talking to her.[1]
- Bossun: With Quecchon, the two have teamed up to challenge the Student Council in a quiz battle. However, Bossun appears to also have a nickname with it being "Bosshuuton" which literally means "incorrect" in Japanese. The two have some mutual respect for each other's intellect due to their efforts in making hard questions to stump the Student Council.
- Enigman tied for 58th place in the first character popularity contest and ranked 14th in the second.
- He and Quecchon act as hosts for the chapter featuring the second character popularity contest results.
- To his contestants: "Now, for today's Battle Q, we will ask you questions that are difficult and useless!! That's what it's all about! [2]
- To Bossun and Himeko: "I was a timid person, but when I started cosplaying during club activities, I surprisingly became more extroverted." (Chapter 121, page 11, second top panel)

The Project
DANTE (Digital Agenda for New Tourism Approach in European Rural and Mountain Areas) is a project included INTERREG IVC Programme, Priority 1 Innovation and the knowledge economy and sub-theme "Information Society".
DANTE focuses on the theme of Information Society applied to the tourism policy agenda of regional and local governments in Europe, with a particular focus on rural and mountain destinations. As stated in EC Communication (COM 2010-352 final)
The DANTE network will optimize nine innovative good practices already existing at regional level, demonstrating the benefits of Information Society for the competitiveness of the tourism sector in disadvantaged areas. DANTE will promote a knowledge sharing process that will:
|Exchange the knowledge gained by more advanced regions in the development of regional ICT projects for rural and mountain areas through learning instruments dedicated to the consortium.
|Support eight European Regional and Local Governments and Agencies to define an effective plan able to address the challenges of the tourism economy in their rural and mountain areas, thanks to the adoption of ICT tools and methodologies.
|Demonstrate the feasibility of the transfer process, through a light pilot action in a rural or mountain area, able to support the regional and local authorities in the design of their strategies, thus ensuring the sustainability of the eight implementation plans.
|Spread the benefits achieved among the consortium to external organisations, by addressing all the relevant stakeholders in Europe, from the policy and decision makers to the tourism operators and the mountain and rural associations.

Qeqertarsuaq is the only town on Disko Island, 100 km west of Ilulissat. It means "the big island".
Hiking trails lead you into the island's lush hills to experience volcanic rock formations and dog sledding all year long.
Qeqertarsuaq is an exceptional place in the truest sense of the word. Everything about it is the first, the largest, or the only. Qeqertarsuaq stands alone on the great Disko Island far off Greenland's west coast, and the Lyngmark Glacier that towers above the town is the only place in Greenland to go dog sledding in summer. The natural environment around Qeqertarsuaq is so fertile with angelica and diverse species that it is literally like no other place in North Greenland.
Greenlandic legend says that Qeqertarsuaq stands so verdantly in the Disko Bay otherwise packed with icebergs because it comes all the way from South Greenland. Two hunters in search of seals freed the island from its southern position and pulled it north with nothing but their kayaks and a single baby's hair. As it entered Disko Bay, a witch in Ilulissat spied the lush green island heading north and cast a spell on it to run aground. So here stands Qeqertarsuaq today.
Dog sledding in summer may sound like a misnomer, but thanks to the Lyngmark Glacier that rises many hundreds of meters above the coast, Qeqertarsuaq is the only town in Greenland where dog sledding is possible all year long. What a contrast to sit bundled on a dog sled feeling the midnight sun beat directly overhead while spotting humpbacks and other summer whales like tiny specks in Disko Bay below.
Enjoying this wintertime favorite in summer is not without its dues. Without snowy mountainsides to allow for snowmobiling up to Lyngmark Glacier, one must first put in hard work to reap his great dog sledding adventure. Whether you lead yourself or opt for a hiking guide, you must rely on your own two feet and a string of blue-painted cairns to reach your starting point. Plan ahead to stay overnight up at the glacier hut and make the entire day's experience well worth the walk.
Continues further down the page...
Qeqertarsuaq is ideal for whale watchers and hikers, among other nature loving travelers. Sailing and whale watching starts in spring when bowhead whales are still in Disko Bay before heading west. Their seasonal exodus makes room for humpback whales to frolic in the Qeqertarsuaq summer waters spotted with icebergs that drift over from Ilulissat.
By midsummer, the angelica overwhelms Qeqertarsuaq and beckons you to follow the island's many hiking trails. Gather leaves for an aromatic tea made with the cleanest water straight from the waterfall outside of town. Drinking local angelica tea while admiring the lifelike shapes of volcanic rocks is an experience one can only have in Qeqertarsuaq.
And if you fancy adding a bit of Greenlandic history to an otherwise total nature experience, Qeqertarsuaq Museum holds many stories of when Qeqertarsuaq was the capital of the north. Complete the cultural discovery by visiting Kangerluk inside Disko Fjord to get a taste of what small village life is like on Greenland's largest island.
Qeqertarsuaq is an exceptional place in the truest sense of the word. Everything about it is the first, the largest, or the only.

A few weeks before I left Berkeley, I ran into one of my psych-department colleagues in a supermarket. He said — this was before the financial crisis — that the grant outlook was terrible. The success rate for NIH grants was about 7%. He had had two grants; now he expected to have none. "Self-experimentation is looking better and better," he said.
Today I got an email that began like this:
If your department's economic outlook is looking bleak, like the rest of our economy, then we have some help available for you! Regardless of the nation's economic condition, the federal, state, local, corporate and private foundation grant system in the US is quite healthy and can provide substantial supplemental relief to your budget woes. Grant money for equipment, training, vehicles and other needs is still available in substantial amounts and remains unaffected by the current economic crisis. Competition for this available funding is becoming more intense with more agencies than ever applying. You need an edge to win; we offer that edge!
CHIEF and 5.11 Tactical have teamed up for 2009 to offer our nationally recognized grant consultant, Kurt Bradley and his national grant writing seminars, for the affordable price of $149.00. Kurt and 5.11 will be in Las Vegas, NV on January 6th and 7th to instruct public safety agencies how to capture their share of this money. Chief Grants has turned hundreds of departments into successful applicants and winners for these funds, assisting agencies, just like yours, in obtaining more than $100 million dollars.
I was on the 5.11 Tactical mailing list because I had bought some pants that police officers often buy.
In Systems of Survival, Jane Jacobs wrote that there were two systems of morality, corresponding to two different ways of making a living: taking and trading. The first values loyalty more than honesty, the other values honesty more than loyalty. Police are firmly in the taking morality system, which pervades government. Science should value honesty, of course; but you can see that a dependence on grants pushes everyone involved toward a loyalty-based morality: If we tell the truth we might lose our grant. Modern science is indeed almost completely dependent on grants, which means results don't really matter. What really matters is getting the next grant. One reason my self-experimentation was effective was it didn't depend on grants. No matter what I found, no matter how strange or upsetting or impossible or weird the results might be, I could publish them and continue to investigate them.

By Kenneth J. Souza, Anchor Staff
FALL RIVER, Mass. — In 1963 Pope Paul VI designated the fourth Sunday of Easter as the "World Day of Prayer for Vocations."
Also known as Good Shepherd Sunday — so named because John's Gospel reading of the day recounts Christ calling Himself "the Good Shepherd" (Jn 10:11-18) — it is an opportunity for the Universal Church to pause and pray for increased vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
And for more than a half-century now, the Holy Father has issued an annual message for the day, addressing the ongoing need for vocations.
In keeping with that trend, faithful from across the Fall River Diocese have been invited to gather at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption in Fall River on that Sunday, April 26 at 3 p.m., for a Holy Hour with Bishop Edgar M. da Cunha, S.D.V., who will lead the prayer and also preach on the topic.
"We need to establish a positive culture of vocations in the diocese, to let people know how important it is for everyone to pray and encourage young people to consider the possibility that God may be calling them to service in the Church," Bishop da Cunha recently told The Anchor. "We need to let our people know that promoting vocations is everybody's business. They need to know that priests have a happy and fulfilled life, and that the Church needs faith-filled and generous men to respond to God's call to service in the Church."
According to Father Kevin Cook, director of the Vocations Office for the diocese, it's appropriate that the Church pray for vocations on a day that also commemorates Jesus' self-identification as the Good Shepherd, tending to His flock.
"Our Lord told us that the harvest is great and the laborers are few, so we must pray for the Master of the harvest to send us laborers for the harvest," Father Cook said. "As a diocese we are called to pray with great humility and frequency for all vocations, but especially this day we are being called to pray for those called by Our Lord to the priesthood, that they will respond with great generosity."
"Like the Good Shepherd Who cares for His flock, the priest is called to imitate Christ in a radical way, especially in his relationship with the people of God," added Father Jay Mello, assistant Vocations Director and recruiter for the diocese. "This year, our new bishop will be presiding over and preaching at a Holy Hour for vocations. It is a great witness of how we are united with the entire Church throughout the world in praying to the Lord of the Harvest, the Good Shepherd Himself, praying that He might send us more young men to work in His vineyard as priests in our diocese."
While a calling to the priesthood or religious life remains the focal point of the day, Bishop da Cunha also stressed how important all vocations are to the Church.
"Even though there is a great need to focus on vocations to the priesthood on that day, the Church invites us to also reflect and pray for us to honor the vocations of all Christians given at Baptism: the vocations of Marriage, priesthood, diaconate, consecrated life, and the single life," the bishop said.
Father Cook thankfully noted how many dioceses have seen a noticeable increase in vocations to the priesthood in recent years, and Fall River is no exception.
"For a while, our diocese had been struggling with the amount of seminarians, but there are hopeful signs that we may be turning a corner," Father Cook said. "At this time we have seven seminarians — one studying in Rome, four studying at St. John's Seminary in Brighton, and two studying at Our Lady of Providence in Providence, R.I."
Father Cook attributes this uptick in diocesan vocations to several factors — not least of which is the continued support of his brother priests and, in particular, the guidance of Bishop da Cunha, who is member of the Society of Divine Vocations, a congregation whose central mission is "vocational discernment and religious formation."
"I think the bishop brings different insights about vocation work and has inspired different priests to make vocation promotion more prevalent in their parishes," Father Cook said. "Furthermore, I think I am seeing more brother priests inquire about vocations, as well as more priests are telling me about young men in their parishes with whom they have had conversations about possible priestly vocations."
"I think that our new bishop belonging to a religious community that has vocations as a priority should be a clear indication that this is a priority for him," agreed Father Mello. "Hopefully that will impact the number of men entering the seminary in future years as he carries out his ministry here in our diocese."
Another great tool that has helped promote diocesan vocations in recent years has been the annual Quo Vadis Days experience, which Father Cook described as "a great combination of prayer, Sacraments, talks, fraternity, and sports."
"During this week we strive to help young men grow in their faith, become more open to praying about whatever the Lord is calling to them to do, to grow in their understanding of the different vocations but, in particular, the priesthood, and to build up a fraternity with other young men from around the diocese who are trying to grow in their own faith," Father Cook said. "The seminarians all help run the program and it gives the young men an opportunity to get to know some of the future priests of the diocese."
Highlights such as the day-long group mountain hiking trip not only provide the young men with an opportunity to make new friends and get some exercise in the process, but also to share thoughts about their faith and potential calling.
"By sharing this week with others from the diocese, many realize they are not alone in taking their faith seriously and many develop some great friendships from this week," Father Cook said. "I find most leave Quo Vadis Days with a greater openness to praying about their vocation."
Open to young men ages 14 to 19 in the diocese, this year's Quo Vadis Days is being held July 6-10 in Medway.
"Each year we have had an increased number of young men from around our diocese participating in this week-long retreat for high school-aged boys," Father Mello said. "We are hoping to continue that trend this year with another record number of guys. It is a great week of fraternity, prayer, discussion and sports where priests and seminarians give talks on prayer, chastity, discernment and priesthood."
"It really is an incredible week," Father Cook said. "Applications can be picked up from the priests in any parish, or can be downloaded on the diocesan Vocations website."
Parents who are interested in having their sons participate should contact either Father Cook at Holy Family Parish in East Taunton, Father Jay Mello at St. Michael's or St. Joseph's Parish in Fall River, or speak to their parish priest or high school chaplain for more information.
While diocesan programs and apostolates remain important resources to promote and foster vocations, Father Cook stressed that discernment often begins at home.
"When people sense their families are supportive of a possible vocation, they become more open to think and pray about it," Father Cook said. "When the support is not there in the home, many times individuals are hesitant to pray and talk about a possible calling, because of the fear of rejection from loved ones."
Father Cook said lay people can be of great help by simply talking to someone they think might have a possible calling.
"Studies have shown that a large percentage of those being ordained in recent years say they first considered a possible calling because someone asked them if they have thought about whether they were being called," Father Cook said. "And we should be fostering a love for all vocations — whether we are being called to a particular vocation or not — and willing to talk about them with others, especially with youth."
"Lastly, we should speak about our love for particular vocations," he added. "When priests speak about their love for the priesthood, it helps foster an environment of promoting vocations."
"I think the most important thing that the lay faithful can do to promote vocations is to speak to their children about being open to God's will in their lives," Father Mello said. "So often adults ask children what they want to be when they grow up, however, as Christians, we should refocus that question and encourage them to think about what God might want them to be when they grow up."
Those who cannot attend the designated Holy Hour on April 26 are encouraged to pray for vocations in their own way.
"I would hope that at every parish we will have at least prayers for vocations offered at every Mass," Bishop da Cunha said.
All are invited to attend the Holy Hour for vocations at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption in Fall River on Sunday, April 26 beginning at 3 p.m.
