Netflix's Best International Shows
Streaming TV shows and movies have come of age. When it first began not that long ago, there were many issues Netflix had to solve to make streaming the "next wave" of online content. Today, Netflix is developing into a great, new, international venue for its own TV shows with subtitles in English. Of course, you can still see all the standard TV shows on the networks that are broadcasted, but it is their internationally produced TV shows that are shining, if you do not mind subtitles.
The international shows are equal in all ways to the American ones. The benefit of watching these is to look through a window into their culture. There are some fascinating shows that are gripping. Some of the foreign content is dubbed in English. The following list are my favorites.
- Nobel - A Norwegian show about its soldiers in Afghanistan and their return home with political\terrorist connections. Great!
- Fauda - This is an Israeli show about a special anti-terrorist unit there fighting the Palestinians. It is gritty and follows both sides of the war from different points of views. Dubbed in English.
- 3% - A Brazilian sci-fi show where only 3% of the population is allowed to have the "good" life if they pass a variety of tests. However, there is corruption in the system. Really interesting premise, well done.
- Mossad 10 - Another Israeli show that mirrors the American " Quantico" TV show where Mossad recruits undergo a series of tests and situations to become one of them. Equal to the American counterpart.
- Wentworth - The Australian version of "Orange is the New Black" and I think predates the American series (maybe this is where they got the idea).
- La Nina - A Spanish show of child soldiers in Central America and how it impacted them as they get older.
- Estocolmo - Another Spanish show where the Mexican D.A. is trying to shutdown a human trafficking ring with plenty of surprises and backstabbing by those trying to prevent it.
- Black Mirror - This favorite is like the old American "Twilight Zone" or "Outer Limits", but is British. This is always fascinating in its presentation of odd situations or conditions in the 21st Century.
- Sandstorm - An Arab movie about how modern teens are clashing with old customs. In this case, how the father has prearranged a marriage for his daughter who is in love with another teen from a different tribe. Plenty of emotional conflict.
- OA - While it is American, one of the producers of the show is Brad Pitt. Even though he is not in it, the show follows a woman who changed when as a child, she died and came back to life. The story is alarming because is blind until her sight returns.
- Case - From Iceland, a gripping crime show and how police detectives try to solve a sex trafficking ring murder and who is behind the ring for perverse reasons.
- Rectify - Although American, it follows a man who was wrongly convicted and released after 20 years. If you have wondered what it might be like to be an ex-felon when returning home, watch this. Great acting and story.
There are always more Netflix produced shows being made. Some may only be 4-6 episodes. The variety on Netflix has grown over the years to satisfy your watching tastes, making it a great alternative to network TV.

Long years of thirst and love for cinema led to the establishment of Golden Apricot Yerevan International Film Festivalin 2004. It was just a dream, a thought in the minds of three people: Harutyun Khachatryan, filmmaker and the Festival's General Director; Mikayel Stamboltsyan, film critic and the Festival's Program Director; and Susanna Harutyunyan, film critic and the Festival's Artistic Director. This thought became reality in Yerevan, the capital of the Republic of Armenia, in 2004. The film festival was called "Golden Apricot" because the apricot symbolizes Armenia—it is an indispensable part of Armenia: the Latin name of an apricot is prunus аrmeniaсa, that means "Armenian plum," and the warm color of the apricot is found in the Armenian national flag.
Nevertheless, the festival was not born casually. Since independence in 1991, Armenian cinema made shy attempts, but eventually broke through international festivals. Armenian cinema created a huge resonance at festivals and retrospectives in Paris (Centre Pompidou, 1993), Montreal (2000), Bologna (2003), and others. International success also accompanied the new films of Harutyun Khachatryan, Suren Babayan, Vigen Chaldranyan, David Safaryan, Narine and Arsen Mkrtchyan, Edgar Bagdasaryan, and other Armenian filmmakers. It became obvious that in Armenia, a country with an established tradition of film production (the first film studio was founded in Armenia in 1923, and the first feature film, Namus, by Hamo Beknazarian was screened in 1925), a country where cinema is connected with such names as Sergei Parajanov and Artavazd Peleshian, needed its own international film festival, which it did not have before.
Golden Apricot Yerevan International Film Festival (GAIFF) carries the theme of "Crossroads of Cultures and Civilizations." The title may well serve as an impassioned mantra for building cultural bridges and fostering dialogue. It also reflects the history of Armenia itself, which for centuries has existed as a flash point for competing geopolitical forces. Armenia's desirable geographic position has made it a bone of contention for various empires but, on the other hand, this has resulted in a civilization replete with global influences and a dynamic artistic heritage. We welcome films representing diverse ethnic groups, religions, and nations that depict the human experience, the everyday lives of people—ordinary and extraordinary, their troubles and their joys, as they try to find meaning in a changing world; as they struggle to redefine themselves in a world that recognizes fewer and fewer boundaries.
Yerevan is an evolving testament to that heritage, and Golden Apricot has fast become a prime destination for regional filmmakers, particularly those advancing universal values of peace, cultural harmony and mutual understanding. Accordingly, Golden Apricot features a multitude of films representing various nations, ethnicities, and religions, collectively depicting the richness of the human experience.
The Golden Apricot festival is different from other events in the sense that it is smaller and more intimate, but it continues to garner international attention and respect. The films are presented in two international competition sections: features and documentaries. The Grand Prix—Golden Apricot and a Special Mention—Silver Apricot are awarded in each category. The festival has a special pan-Armenian competitive section, the Armenian Panorama, for films produced by filmmakers of Armenian descent. The opening of the festival is always marked with the traditional blessing of apricots, for which Armenia is famous.
Among the honorable guests of the festival over the past 13 years were: Marco Bellocchio, Wim Wenders, Tonino Guerra, Claudia Cardinale, Fanny Ardant, Alain Terzian, Theodoros Angelopoulos, Nikita Mikhalkov, Alexander Sokurov, Claire Denis, Jafar Panahi, Michael Glawogger, Fridrik Thor Fridriksson, Bruno Dumont, Fatih Akin, Lee Chang Dong, Jos Stelling, Krzysztof Zanussi, Dariush Mehrjui, Mohsen Makhmalbaf, Bela Tarr, Kohei Oguri, Catherine Breillat, Leos Carax, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Semih Kaplanoghlu, Godfrey Reggio, Victor Erice, Agnieszka Holland, Istvan Szabo, Margarethe von Trotta, Jia Zhangke, Kim Ki-duk, South Amos Gitai, Otar Ioseliani, Robert Guediguian, Ornella Muti, Nastassja Kinski, Jacqueline Bisset and others. Since 2005, Atom Egoyan's name is strongly connected to the Golden Apricot festival, when he was appointed permanent President of the Festival.
Among the main winners of the festival there have been: Ararat by Atom Egoyan (Canada/ France), 2004; The Sun by Aleksandr Sokurov (Russia/ Italy/ Switzerland/ France), 2005; Three Times by Hou Hsiao-hsien (France/ Taiwan), 2006; Import Export by Ulrich Seidl (Austria/ France/ Germany), 2007; The Mermaid by Anna Melikian (Russia), 2008; The Other Bank (Georgia/ Kazakhstan) by George Ovashvili, 2009; Kosmos by Reha Erdem (Turkey/ Bulgaria), 2010; Nader and Simin: A Separation by Asghar Farhadi (Iran), 2011; In the Fog by Sergei Loznitsa (Germany/ Belorus), 2012; Circles by Srdan Golubović, (Serbia/ Germany/ France/ Croatia/ Slovenia), 2013; The Tribe by Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy (Ukraine), 2014; Embrace of the Serpent by Ciro Guerra (Colombia/ Venezuela/ Argentina), 2015; and Ungiven by Branko Schmidt (Croatia), 2016.
The 13th GAIFF in 2016 had about 1,000 submissions from 91 countries. During the seven days of the festival the viewers had an opportunity to watch over 138 films. In addition to a wide range of international titles, the festival played host to an ever-expanding film market, offering a gateway to an entire region's cinematic output.
Based on the vital need for a wide professional and cultural network, GAIFF has launched the "Directors Across Borders" (DAB) program in 2007. On 30 January 2007, the DAB program was officially recognized as the basic regional co-operation platform between Golden Apricot IFF, Rotterdam IFF and Pusan IFF. DAB is a regional network of film directors and film professionals who share the common belief that cinema is a unique medium of expression which transcends political, ideological, racial or religious borders and connects people. DAB's aim is to determine the common problems typical for states in transition, and to facilitate film co-production projects addressing issues of multi-nationalism and multi-culturalism, values tradition, social cohesion, diversity, and cultural heritage. DAB is dedicated to transnational and multilateral cooperation, exchange, professional training and knowledge-sharing between Armenia and the region and beyond. The main event of the program is the annual DAB Regional Co-production Forum, consisting of workshops, presentations, pitching sessions, seminars, and a film program. It is a unique industry event in the region, providing an environment for regional and international industry professionals to meet. In total, 250 filmmakers and film journalists from the region have received training and attended workshops organized by the DAB Project.
"Armenia—The Apricot Revolution" was the title of David D'Arcy's article on Armenian cinema published in Screen International on 25 July 2008. It highlights the importance of the Golden Apricot International Film Festival. Since 2004, the festival has been seen as a revolution in overcoming the deep crisis of national film production in Armenia and in integrating Armenian cinema within the global film community.
Armenia does not have much in terms of film production today, but the country has acquired a new symbol: the international film festival Golden Apricot. By this new symbol Armenia has become known in the world of modern cinema.

But I love him so much.
He needs me.
We can work it out.
We are meant to be.
Sometimes I wonder why women are so retarded.
Sweetheart he just fucked your bestie.
He does not love you enough to be faithful.
What he needs is a kick in the hole!
You can't work it out, and you are not going to be.
Let me make this clear, once a dick head always a dick head.
Sadly my poor demented friend is in denial.
She really does think she can change him.
How deluded.
Try as I might, there is no telling her.
She has the stupidity of youth.
But what she needs is the bitterness of age.
This isn't the first time.
God no!
Her love life has been one long series of disasters.
She always picks the broken men.
Those sad pathetic types that should ideally be neutered.
It's the only type she goes for.
I on the other hand go for bastards.
Hot ones.
You know the type.
Hung, peachy ass, great in bed but essentially unlikable.
I try and put some manners on them.
By riding the living be'jeazuz out of them.
Its never worked, but I'm not giving up.
I once had a boyfriend 'cheat' on me.
Why he didn't just ask for a threesome is a mystery to me.
Silly man.
He made such a big song a dance out of it.
All that drama, I had to dump him.
No one likes a drama queen.
It's only sex for fuck's sake.
But women are not like men.
They like their men to be like dogs.
Faithful and happy to lick their own balls.
Trouble is men really can be dogs, and there is no fixing that.
Confessions of a Gay Rugby Player Part 4. On Sale Feb 19th
Buy it or suffer the wrath of Paddy, Lord of the Universe!!
An excerpt:
"So was the trolly dolly worth it? He is as camp as a pink tutu."
"Yeah he is, but his gaydar profile is hot, and it didn't mention he has crabs."
"Cahal, you're making me feel itchy."
"Fuck yourself!"
"Maybe the big fairy will! But do I want a dose of crabs?"
Actually looking at him now, he is pretty cute. Knowing he has been spreading crabs is a bit of a turnoff, though maybe not a deal breaker. The last air steward I fucked was during a stopover in the UAE on my way to Hong Kong.
Just thinking back to it makes my cock throb. I was heading over to HK for a business trip and had to fly with a cheap Arab airline with a god-awful stop-over. The hot air steward had been giving me some extra attention all flight, so when I casually mentioned I had a one night stop-over I was hardly surprised that he invited me to a party at his apartment. Ethan or something his name was.
The guy was living with other trolly dollies. I was picturing a room full of camp queens, all of whom would be begging me to fuck them. When we finally got to his apartment, I was surprised. He lived in a gated community closed off from the rest of Arabia, or so it seemed. The party had already started with plenty of hot guys and pretty girls, all air stewards. So this was not going to turn out to be the hot all-male orgy that I thought it would be.

Some people do not accept any women in the ministry in any form. Others do. What is the truth? Let's STUDY this subject:
1 Timothy 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
We see Very Clearly in the above verse that a woman is NOT to usurp authority over men, AND we see very clearly that a woman is not to be the Lead Teacher of men. It even says they are to be in silence. However, we should never use only one verse to teach a doctrine. Otherwise, we may not be really understanding what it means. We should always read and apply "line upon line", 'precept upon precept' to get the sum/totality of His Word. Isa.28:9-13 Psalm 119:160. Therefore, let's continue in our bible study:
Please read all of Judges 4 and 5 where we see Deborah as a Deliverer & Judge of Israel and a Prophetess. She was in service to her people at that time. The men would not even go into battle without her! It reminds me of men today. Now look at:
Miriam Ex. 15:20
Huldah 2 Kings 22:14
Noadiah Neh. 6:14
A prophetess in Isa. 8:3
Anna Luke 2:36
Acts 21:9 daughter of Philip
1 Corinthians 11
1Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
2Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
5But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth (works of the ministry) with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
6For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
9Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
10For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
We see in 1 Cor.11 the instructions that when a woman is doing the works of the ministry, she is NOT silent while performing works of the ministry, During Paul's day, the custom was that a woman minister (prophetess, deaconess, etc.) was to have a head covering to show that she was in line with her husband and/or the main pastor (bishop) who is a male of course, but she is to wear the head covering only if it is among like minded believers and if it does not cause contention. vs. 16. The context of 1 Cor. 11 is about ensuring that the woman is under the authority of the man. Many women do not like those words! But is the Word of GOD! But please keep reading!
What about 1 Cor. 14:34-35 forbidding women to speak?
Lets Read 1 Corinthians 14:34-35:
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
Please read the Entire Context and realize the setting. This is talking about women talking in the synagogue in an effort to learn. This is NOT talking about women prophesying or giving an edification. This is NOT forbidding women from ministering in the church setting. Otherwise there would not be instructions on how she should do it in Chapter Eleven. 1 Cor. 14:34-35 is talking about not interrupting the flow of services as each person takes turns sharing what GOD has placed on their hearts. The context is that women in this setting and era were sitting in the back of the synagogue (by mans customs, not GOD's directive). They could not hear what was being said, therefore they would yell up to their husbands sitting in the front & ask what was being said in an effort to learn. But this caused noise confusion. So to avoid chatter & confusion in the synagogue, the women were here instructed to wait until they got home & then ask their husbands what was said. That is the context! The context of chapter 14 has nothing to do with whether women could minister (serve). But when a woman does minister (serve)(Ch.11), she is to be under authority of her husband or pastor.
Romans 16:1-16:
Romans 16 1I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant (diakonos) of the church which is at Cenchrea:
2That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.
3Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: (wife & husband and fellow tent makers Acts 18:2-3)
4Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
5Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
6Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us (laboured in the Lord).
7Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
8Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
9Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
10Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household.
11Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.
12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, (Perhaps sisters, even twins possibly) who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, (means Persian Woman) which laboured much in the Lord.
13Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
14Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them.
15Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.
16Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
The word servant is the word diakonos, from which we get our word deacon. It can mean minister, servant, or deacon. Many people assume the word "servant" in Romans 16:1 to mean something similiar to the word "servants" in Philippians 1:1 which means "bond slave". Phil. 1: 1 "Paul and Timotheus, the servants (bond slaves or servants) of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops (overseers, elders, pastors) and deacons (diakonos! same word as in Romans 16:1)"
The ending of the book of Romans says "Written to the Romans from Corinthus, & sent by Phebe servant (diakonos) of the church at Cenchrea".
Acts 6:1-6 shows the first people put into the office of deacons.
1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
2Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve (diakoneo, From diakonos; to be an attendant, i.e. Wait upon (menially or as a host, friend, or (figuratively) teacher); technically, to act as a Christian deacon -- (ad-)minister (unto), serve, use the office of a deacon) tables. (serve tables, as a waitress, waiter, server, deacon, deaconess)
3Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 4But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. 5And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: 6Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
And thus we had the first 7 deacons. 1 Tim. 3 shows us more about deacon(ess).
1 Timothy 3
1This is a true saying, if a man (Greek means anyone or person) desire the office of a bishop (overseer), he desireth a good work.
2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife (not given to polygamy, this is NOT an instruction that they must be married & not single), vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3Not given to wine (not in access), no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4One that ruleth (over sees, maintains, presides) well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care (maintain) of the church of God?)
6Not a novicen, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8Likewise must the deacons (diakonos) be grave (honest), not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
9Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
11Even so must their wives (if they have one) be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
12Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife (this is not commandment that the deacon be married males! Paul himself was NOT married! 1 Cor. 7), ruling their children and their own houses well. (Notice this time children is put first instead of house!, whereas the house was put first in the office of bishop, i believe this is because Paul is recognizing that the teachers of the children are women and that there are female deacons)
13For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Hey, Notice where we are! 1 Tim. 3, just immediately after 1 Tim 2 where it was talking about women in 1 Tim. 2:11 "Let the woman learn in silence (if sitting in the back of a synagogue) with all subjection (under the male bishops/husbands authority)". We have come full loop. We now see the context better. 1 Timothy 2:7-15:
7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
(Here Paul is saying I HAVE THESE OFFICES OF ADMINISTRATIONS IN THE CHURCH, OVER BOTH MALES AND FEMALES)
8 I will therefore that men (in contrast to women leading the formal worship service prayer) pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
9 In like manner also, that women (Paul is preparing the women for ministry) adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works (of the ministry).
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection (when in the case of 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 when/If she is sitting in the back and is not currently doing a ministry work)
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach nor to usurp authority over the man (as the bishops/overseers/pastors would in the context of a formal worship meeting), but to be in silence.
(The Greek word in verse 12 for "to teach" would be more correctly translated as "to be a teacher". So Paul is saying he does not allow a woman to be in the office of a teacher over men (therefore they cannot be in the office of a teacher or any office of administration over the congregation that would include men. The Greek words for "usurp authority" also refer to exercising authority of office of administration).
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
Paul was teaching that the women should not be in the highest offices of the church BUT he was NOT saying that they cannot minister at all, sing, prophesy, teach children, teach younger women and fulfill the roles of deaconess which teaches one on one. The Bishop is the main overseer or Pastor and is the middle contrast between the 1 Tim 2 guidelines and 1 Tim 3 deacon requirements. The role of a deacon or deaconess includes answering individual questions of the ekklesia, personal bible studies with the members, etc., freeing up some time for the main overseer, Bishop/Pastor.
Also notice: Philippians 4 (Amplified Version)
1 THEREFORE, MY brethren, whom I love and yearn to see, my delight and crown (wreath of victory), thus stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
- 2 I entreat and advise Euodia and I entreat and advise Syntyche to agree and to work in harmony in the Lord.
3 And I exhort you too, [my] genuine yokefellow, help these [two women to keep on cooperating], for they have toiled along with me in [the spreading of] the good news (the Gospel), as have Clement and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the Book of Life.
Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Ephesians 5:21-33:
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22 Wives (& women ministers), submit yourselves unto your own husbands (& pastors), as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband (& pastor)is the head of the wife (& women ministers), even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives (& women ministers) be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
-Teachers of Children
-Teachers of younger women
Titus 2:3-5 (ESV) "Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled."
-prophetess (but not the Office of Prophet. The Office of Prophet is the second highest human rank in the Church, just after the Regional Apostle. A prophetess is not an administration office over the Church. A prophetess is a woman with the gift of Prophecy. Not the same as the office of Prophet.)
-deaconess (individual counseling & bible study with women)
-internet website ministries
-singing ministry
-piano or other musical instrument ministry
-prayer ministry
-visitation of orphans, widows, nursing homes, hospitals & women prisoners
Women are NOT to be the Pastor of a Church. The Pastor is over all the congregation. It is a office of administration which includes having authority over men. Women pastors are a direct conflict with the Will of GOD. A woman may minister to the other women and children in the form of deaconess or teacher of women and children. A woman may serve the entire congregation in the form of prophecy, public worship songs, private prayers, fastings. But they are NOT to have office of administration over the entire congregation.
Women proud themselves on being nurturing, loving and caring. Therefore they should FULFILL their ministry callings in the positions of deaconess and prophetess, rather than the administrative offices of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastors and Teachers of the whole congregation. The Church is suffering from a lack of women fulfilling their roles of deaconess to the other women. As a pastor myself, i can testify that women demand more attention than the men in the congregation. They study more and ask more questions. They are naturally more sensitive and emotional. They require much more time and attention. The pastor of the local congregation NEEDS the help of the female deaconess. The female population would be better served with male Pastors and female deaconess and male deacons. Most assemblies only have a pastor, but no deacons and deaconess. Women need to step up to fill in the gap and fulfill their proper ministry roles in the church. And the men need to do the same thing.
Men cannot follow a woman pastor. Men by nature need to follow other men. The huge number of female pastors is partially responsible for the low number of men in the church. Women pastors prevent and hinder huge numbers of men from coming to Christ and attending worship services. i know this to be true and not just my opinion. i have observed it in the population. Men are naturally better managers. In my decades of employment in several different job genres, the majority of those people that i worked with, both men and women, told me that they would rather work for a man rather than a woman. They said that men are easier to get along with. Of course there are exceptions and there are plenty of women who would love to work for another woman. But the majority of people that i have worked with testify that they would rather work for a man. The women in the congregation can go to their girlfriends, sisters, and to their husbands and pastors for ministerial counsel. But the men in the congregation usually feel uncomfortable going to anyone for ministerial counsel except for when they are able to go to the male pastor. There NEEDS to be that male head in the family AND in the Church. That's just the way GOD designed it. It is NOT to say that women are less of a person or less important. It's just that GOD designed gender roles.
i personally have knowledge of a situation one time where the male pastor of a church became bedridden and could not come to services any longer. His wife took over the pastoral duties and worship services of the church. BUT she did so UNDER HIS MANTLE. It was under his authority and blessing. And she did a great job. But when he eventually passed away, She stepped down. That is the biblical thing to do. So there are situations that can arise to where a woman could be leading a church and it be acceptable. But in general, women should not lead the Church. Whenever one does, She should make it very clear, that it is under her husbands mantle. Deborah, in the Bible, was an exception to the rule, even as my pastors wife also has an exceptional situation. It is NOT the general pattern of how GOD has designed men and women. It is NOT GOD's Perfect Will for women to be warriors, leaders of the Church or leaders of their husbands.
Can a woman preach? She can preach to other women. She can stand up and deliver a prophecy or a message to the entire church. But NO, she should not give a sermon to the entire church. The Sermons should be left to the Pastor, deacons and other male preachers. The main opening and closing prayers should be done by males based on 1 Cor. 11:8. Women can stand up and sing to the entire church. Singing does not constitute authority over males. Giving of prophecy does not constitute authority over males. None of this is making women less than men. Males and Women are equal human beings. Not one is better than the other. But GOD gave us gender roles which HE expects us to abide by. When you remove the gender roles in the Church, you thereby encourage removal of gender roles in Family.
Objection: Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Answer: If Gal 3:28 can be used to support female elders then it can be used to support homosexual "marriage" since there is no male or female in Christ.
Of course Gal. 3:8 is speaking of salvation being open to everyone who accepts JESUS as LORD and Savior. There is no way anyone can twist the Scriptures describing Pastors as anything but men. 1 Timothy 2:12-13 specifically states that women should not be appointed authority over men who would be deacons and other members of the Church.
Objection: There should NOT be ANY women ministers, not even deaconess because the Scriptures say that women are to keep silence in the church.
Answer: We must examine all Scripture. Not just one verse. Other Scriptures teach that women can be prophetess and deaconess and teach other women and children. The verse pertaining to silence is declaring that women should not interrupt the services in their attempt to ask more questions. They are to wait until they get home and ask their husband, unless the Pastor declares a time for open questions AFTER the sermon is already complete.
Do you disagree? We encourage you to take your time in prayer & fasting as you continue to examine this subject. Many times, it takes days-weeks, even years to undo man's doctrines or traditional thinking. It's a process. Many times, just reading websites is NOT enough. We must be willing to take the time to talk to our LORD & Savior Jesus Christ in MUCH prayer & fasting, and continual repentance and continued growth in spiritual maturity. We should pray that HE remove all deception from us & always be willing to change as HE continues to teach us. If we have NOT changed anything that we believe in 12 months, we are NOT growing enough in His Truth. We must continue to grow every year until we reach FULL maturity to the full stature of Jesus Christ. Eph.4:11-16. May JE-sus continue to bless you in all of your seeking for His Truth.

Hey all, Nisha here! We prepared for a day full of meetings with a massive breakfast. We woke to two huge omelets, four pieces of toast, and a sweet cup of chai. Natalia and I were struck by momentary relief as we had finally been presented a meal that didn't contain onions.
Upon arriving to the office, we found our expected schedule for the day was rearranged and several meetings were postponed, so we settled down for a bit. We worked until our meeting with the director of Setco's R&D department and Vidhi and Parth, who are both volunteers from the department. We dove into the specific details of our toilet and stove design, explaining our reasoning for certain decisions, highlighting problems we are working to resolve, and proposing what the future of our relationship with the department will look like.
With our first meeting successfully completed, we moved on to making plans with the toilets contractor. Rajeshbhai helped us mediate the conversation, as we were not able to speak with the contractor directly. After about an hour of back and forth, Rajeshbhai proposed some alternative sources that we could employ to help us complete the changes we needed for the toilet. We made plans to finalize the details tomorrow as we left the office.
On our way home, we decided that after a long week of work, we wanted to treat ourselves. So naturally, we decided to go back to the restaurant that had served us buckets of garlic naan a few nights ago. After this decision had been made in the car ride back, I slowly dosed off. Sometime later, I was woken in a panic by Rachel and Sarah, who both bore a look of seriousness. To my surprise, this was stemming from the need for me to tell the driver that we wanted dinner now.
Upon arriving back at the guesthouse with the food, we quickly ravaged through five garlic naans and four paneer dishes leaving just enough leftovers for a savory snack tomorrow. Along with the food we were greeted by the welcome surprise that our laundry had finally returned, just in time for us to pack for our Mumbai trip.
As many of our meetings that we had prepared for had been pushed back until tomorrow, we found ourselves with little work to do at the guesthouse and took the opportunity to relax. After yet another brutal loss, the night ended in celebration as the infamous team of Kabir and I, famously coined as Nibir, rose to victory as we finally defeated Rachel and Sarah in Euchre.

George Zimmerman found not guilty
The jury, which consisted (6) women, had been deliberating for more than 16½ hours total, including 13 today.
Background to case
CNN- The story starts the night of February 26, 2012, as Martin walked back to his father's fiancee's house through the rain from a Sanford convenience store, where he'd bought Skittles and a drink.
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, spotted him and called police. A 911 dispatcher told Zimmerman that officers were on the way and not to follow the allegedly suspicious person.
Nonetheless, Zimmerman got out of his car, later telling police he just wanted to get a definitive address to relay to authorities.
Sometime after that, Zimmerman and Martin got into a physical altercation. Some neighbors took notice: On one 911 call, anguished cries for help can be heard.
Who was yelling? Martin's mother testified she's "absolutely" sure it was her son; Zimmerman's parents said, with as much conviction, that it was their own child.
There are also disputes about who was the aggressor, about whether or not Martin may have seen or reached for Zimmerman's gun, about whether Zimmerman should have had more injuries if he was pummeled, as he claims.
And some had accused Zimmerman -- who identifies himself as Hispanic -- of racially profiling the black teenager, a claim the defense camp had flatly denied.
About the only thing that was not in dispute was that the now 29-year-old Zimmerman had shot and killed Martin.
Tensions were high ahead of verdict
There was a buzz outside the Sanford courtroom Saturday, punctuated by occasional speeches, songs and impassioned words -- at times directed against those on the other side of the debate.
There were those calling for a guilty verdict who held up a large banner reading "End racial oppression" and who yelled in unison, "We want justice." On the other side, Zimmerman backers toted signs saying "Self-defense is a basic human right," "Not enough evidence," and plainly "Not guilty."
Many of these themes had been echoing since the weeks after Martin's death, when tens of thousands attended rallies led by civil rights activists demanding Zimmerman's arrest and chastising authorities for their handling of the case.
Zimmerman surmised Martin was a criminal like those who'd struck in his neighborhood before -- at least one of whom was black -- a lawyer for the late teen's family said Friday. But Martin was not a criminal, which Daryl Parks said contributes to the racial tensions that still surround this case.
While he wouldn't call Zimmerman a racist, "this case in its totality has a racial undertone to it," Parks told CNN's Anderson Cooper.
The defense had strongly rejected accusations Zimmerman is racist, with O'Mara citing his client's work as a mentor to black children and his taking a black girl to his prom as evidence of his non-racist beliefs.
His defenders had been passionate as well, especially about a person's right to defend himself with a gun when attacked. Debate swirled over Florida's "stand your ground" law, which allows those who believe they are in imminent danger to use deadly force to protect themselves.
In light of this ongoing fervor, authorities had asked for calm while setting up contingency plans to respond to incidents tied to a verdict. The Rev. Jesse Jackson Jr. was among those appealing for peace Friday, while Zimmerman's family urged people to "respect the rule of law, which begins with respecting the verdict."
"Freedom of expression is a constitutional right," said the sheriff's office in Broward County, in the Miami area. "While raising your voice is encouraged, using your hands is not."
But O'Mara had said that, whatever the outcome, his client will not feel safe.
"There are a percentage of the population who are angry, they're upset, and they may well take it out on him," he said.

I don't understand why you are comparing the two incidents though. Those jurors who found Zimmerman innocent have Martin's blood on their hands, and are as culpable as Zimmerman. Retribution cleanses, and Zimmerman if he is guilty did not escape God justice.
Marie (20/07/2013, 14:38) Like (1) Dislike (0) ReplyNo it wasn't injustice for the OJ Simpson case because no one could prove he was there and there was not enough evidence so they had to acquit him. Zimmerman on the other hand was proven to be there, told to stay in his car and not approach. He ignored all of this and went after Travon anyway which ended up with a teenager being killed. This is the outrage of Black People. And why is the OJ Case always brought up as an injustice when Black people have be killed, raped, lynched, burned alive, enslaved for free labor and the list goes on and people seem to think we should sweep this under the rug like it never happened, but the Jews never let anyone forget their plight and people are sympathetic, give me a F-ing break. If OJ did do it, we finally got away with one compared to our millions killed and no one went to jail for it. Before you bring up the OJ case again, look into past history and see what people have done to us.

Right here, Ausar, right here.
But I don't know why you think I want to "explain away" this injustice. Is it because my opposition to your race-based posts makes you automatically assume I am a white racist or defender thereof? Does it make you think I cannot see the real world because I am so busy defending white racism? That seems to be your angle, fool.
Listen, there is vile racism afoot all over the USA, the BVI and the world. I am against it in whatever form it appears. I think it is destructive to individuals and to societies, so it should be fought where ever it raises its sick head.
In this case, I see an injustice that, if it was a black man shoot a white man, we all know the outcome would likely have been the opposite. The US legal system is like a distortion chamber - every day in a 1000 ways –and most of the time that distortion works against African Americans. This is one of them, no question about it.
But I hate bulls**t, too. Let's not forget this shooter was Latino, so you all got to come up with some reason why his actions were based on white supremacy. I don't know or care about the skin color of the jurors who decided his innocence, but if you saying they are working for a white supremacist agenda you need to come up with some evidence of that. Otherwise maybe they were manipulated by the white supremacist agenda to do their bidding, but that is, again, something you need to show before you jump on the 'hate whites because they hate us' megaphone.
OJ Simpson? That was racist, no question. That was black people wanting a murderer to go free just because he was black, instead of wanting him to be jailed because he had done a truly evil deed. That's racism, pure and simple.
This is where you and I part ways, Ausar. I see racism when it exists in whatever form and I HATE it. You see racism where ever it suits your bull cr@p hypothesis that all white people are wicked and are out to enslave all black people. That sh*t is totally whack. Just like the verdict in this case is whack.
It is not one or the other. It is common sense and human decency vs a jackass racial way of interpreting every damn thing that happen. I take the side of decency, you ride the jackass.

facts (14/07/2013, 14:33) Like (5) Dislike (16) ReplyThe media in America have made Zimmerman whiter than Casper the friendly ghost yet he's Hispanic. They try to portray him as racist but he has numerous charity work raising extra cash for the black communities and even raised cash to help a black homeless man after he was savagely beaten. This wasn't a racist attack it was an unfortunate event that really should have never happened. Zimmerman was defending a community that was suffering from high rates of theft and break ins and saw a young man walking suspiciously in the middle of the night in the pouring rain. Who wouldn't be suspicious regardless of his. Skin colour. Yes. He shouldn't have chased him down but he wanted justice for the people suffering. When he eventually approached the young man he assaulted him violently as the photos show his face with a smashed nose and lacerated head. He DID act in self defence. However you look at. It from the young mans point of view, a man chased him down in the middle of the night how else was he going to act when somebody grabs him? Treyvon also acted in self defence. All in all. It's a very hard case to determine but the. Fact still remains that a young man lost his life doing nothing wrong and a man has live with killing treyvon for the rest of his life. Not guilty was the right verdict IMO as he didn't racially attack treyvon as its claimed. Black Americans seem to forget that since treyvon died in 2012 roughly 11,000 black people have been murdered and 94% of the people convicted was indeed of the same race. I also remember two innocent Brits on holiday gunned down in cold blood by a black man, was anybody claiming that was racially motivated?

He did not even go to the hospital for checks. Why he did not sustain any serious injuries. Clearly that head bashing on the pavement is suspect. Zimmerman's father is full bred white and a judge or retired judge. Men rule. It is of little consequence that his mother is Hispanic. Check and see who is sending money for his trail then come back and tell me where the Hispanic inluence is. It was even said that he needs to be careful about taking money from these self interest groups. Sorry with a sx blanco jury what do you think!

So because you 'lived among whites for years' and you have decided they are all guilty of either racism or some kind of guilty pretense, what do you suggest? That we mistrust them all? All millions and millions of them? What about the ones who never done a damn thing wrong to a person of color? What about those who never even encounter a person of color n their whole lives? And what about the ones who love a person of color, and those have offspring and loving families with persons of color? What about those damn wicked whites who fought against apartheid and get killed and jailed for the fight, and those who work daily to stop racism by being activists for racial equality? What about those who are genuine people who are not hung up on skin but judge others on how someone behaves, what they do and what they say?
Saying all whites are either guilty of racism or they are pretending to be decent humans is like saying all men are rapists. It's like Adolf Hitler saying all Jews are such and such, so they should be gas. Like Osama Bin Laden saying non-Muslims are evil and deserve to do die.
I.e. it is total horse pi$$ you spreading and I hope people don't drink it because if they do the BVI will get REALLY sick.
If you had a bad experience 'living among the whites', I am sorry for you. But don't use it try make everyone's experience with people of differing skin pigment into a race war. That's just extremist psycho sh!t.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Diagnosis and Treatments
How is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Diagnosed?
This isn't a test that can diagnose CRPS. However, a doctor can rule out other potential conditions using a variety of tests, such as using hot and cold compresses to locate specific areas of pain or using a triple-phase bone scan to look for changes in bone and blood circulation. These tests can help your doctor determine if you are suffering from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome or if there is another underlying cause for your pain. Getting a diagnosis for CRPS can take a while, though, especially if your symptoms are initially mild. A few symptoms that your doctor will look for include:
- The presence of an injury
- Higher-than-usual pain resulting from that injury
- A chance in the appearance (particularly the hair and skin) around the injury
CRPS may also be diagnosed when there is no apparent injury nor is there a change in the appearance around the pain-afflicted area.
What are Treatment Options for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?
There are a number of treatment options for patients with CRPS, including chronic pain management techniques that can help alleviate their symptoms. However, there is no cure for CRPS. Some of the treatment options could include physical therapy, psychotherapy, and prescription medication. Medications prescribed by your doctor for CRPS can include anti-depressants, narcotics, anti-seizure medication, and topical analgesics among others.
A chronic pain management specialist can offer additional treatment options such as:
- Surgical Sympathectomy. This surgery involves the removal of the nerves affected by CRPS. This is a controversial surgery, as some people find it relieves the pain while other feel it could make the condition worse.
- Sympathetic nerve block. These injections block the signals going to the nerve cells.
- Spinal cord stimulation. This is another way to disrupt the pain signals going to the affected area. In this procedure, electrodes are used next to the spinal column to disrupt the signals going out.
- Intrathecal drug pump. This treatment involves implanting a catheter in the spine which delivers pain medication directly to the spinal fluid.

June 14, 2018, Miami, Florida – Sister Linda Bevilacqua, OP, PhD, President of Barry University, has announced her retirement effective June 30, 2019. Sister Linda, who graduated magna cum laude from Barry College for Women in 1962, is the first alumna to become the university's President, a position she has held since July 2004.
"For the remainder of my tenure as your president, you can rely on me to serve you – our students, faculty, and staff – and our alumni, benefactors, and community partners, energetically and enthusiastically, remaining faithful to and focused on Barry's Catholic, Dominican identity, its empowering Mission and Core Commitments," Sister Linda wrote in a letter to the university's faculty and staff. "As an Adrian Dominican Sister and a very proud Barry alumna, I shall always be grateful for your faithfulness to mission, commitment to demonstrate and expect rigor and excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service, and your devotion to our wondrously diverse student body."
John Bussel, Chair of Barry University's Board of Trustees, credits Sister Linda with strengthening the university in numerous ways, including leading Barry successfully through the most turbulent of changes ever in higher education. Her management and operational skills have turned a large, disparate organization into a highly effective institution, he said. "Sister Linda is a guiding light to the Barry community, and she personifies the Adrian Dominican charism to seek truth, make peace, and reverence life."
During Sister Linda's 14-year tenure, in spite of challenges such as economic volatility, changing demographics, and nontraditional competitors, Barry has experienced program growth, diversification, institutional re-organization, and new and hybrid learning modalities. A revised Mission Statement now includes Core Commitments that shape student living, learning, leadership, and community engagement initiatives.
Since 2004, the total assets of Barry increased by more than $87 million, 69 percent. In addition, Barry has received local, state, federal, foundation, and individual grant and gifts close to $40 million, supporting basic science research, the renovation of teaching and laboratory spaces, construction of new buildings, scholarships, program development, and nine mission-focused centers and institutes. These include the Center for Human Rights and Social Justice and the Center for Earth Jurisprudence, originally directed by Patricia Siemen, OP, now Prioress of the Adrian Dominican Congregation.
Provisionally credited at the start of Sister Linda's presidency, the Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law received full accreditation in the Fall of 2006. Currently enrolling over 700 students, the Orlando campus has been expanded with five new buildings. The main campus at Miami Shores also grew with the addition of two residence halls, an office and classroom building for the School of Podiatric Medicine, and the Rene Sylvester Tower on Interstate 95.
Sister Linda has also overseen the expansion of learning opportunities at Barry University. New Extended Learning programs provide students with additional opportunities to earn degrees at various Florida sites through distance education modalities. Barry accommodates the shifting demographic trends, enabling working adults to earn master's and doctoral degrees.
In the last 14 years, Barry University has become a minority majority institution, with no single group having a majority. In 2016, the Wall Street Journal named Barry University one of the most diverse universities in the United States and recognized it for creating the most multicultural learning environment.
A native of New York, Sister Linda moved to the Miami/Dade County area with her family in 1958. After graduating from Barry in 1962, she entered the Adrian Dominican Congregation. She earned a master's degree from Siena Heights College (now University) in Adrian and a PhD from Michigan State University in 1980.
Sister Linda served at Barry as the chief student life officer from 1969 to 1978 and as founding dean of the School of Professional and Career Education (PACE) and Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs from 1981 to 1986. In 1986, she was elected to the General Council, serving under Sister Nadine Foley, OP, the Prioress, until their term was completed in 1992. She was President of Gwynedd-Mercy College (now University) in Gwynedd Valley, Pennsylvania, from 1993 to 2002.
Her retirement in 2019 will not mean the end of ministry for Sister Linda; after a sabbatical, she will discern her ministerial options.
March 28, 2018, Adrian, Michigan – The presence, Mission, and Vision of the Adrian Dominican Sisters are lived out not only at the Motherhouse in Adrian, but wherever Sisters and Associates minister, and particularly in the universities, schools, hospitals, and literacy centers sponsored by the Congregation.
The widespread presence and Mission of the Congregation was celebrated March 22-24, 2018, during the Sponsorship Conference "Dominican Spirit: A Great Hope in Common" at Weber Retreat & Conference Center in Adrian. Attending were Sisters and Co-workers from Barry University, Miami Shores, Florida; Siena Heights University, Adrian; Regina Dominican High School, Wilmette, Illinois; Rosarian Academy, West Palm Beach, Florida; Dominican Hospital, Santa Cruz, California; and St. Rose Dominican Hospitals, Henderson and Las Vegas, Nevada.
Also attending were Sisters and Co-workers from the Congregation's seven sponsored literacy centers, under the umbrella of Dominican Rea Literacy Centers: All Saints Literacy Center, Detroit; Adrian Rea Literacy Center, Adrian; Aquinas Literacy Center, Chicago; DePorres P.L.A.C.E., West Palm Beach, Florida; Dominican Literacy Center, Detroit; St. Luke's N.E.W. Life Center, Flint, Michigan; and Siena Literacy Center, Detroit.
The conference gave participants the opportunity to get to know one another, learn about the Mission and history of the Adrian Dominican Sisters, experience times of contemplative sitting, share their experiences of living out the Congregation's Mission in their institution, and learn new ways that they and their institution can live out the Mission.
"Today we gather in the spirit of St. Dominic – vibrant in our world for over 800 years," said Sister Mary Margaret Pachucki, OP, General Councilor, in her welcome to the conference participants on March 23. Sister Mary Margaret is the General Council liaison to the Sponsorship Commission, which plans and organizes the sponsorship conference.
Sister Patricia Siemen, OP, Prioress of the Congregation, gave an overview of the history of the Dominican Order and the Adrian Dominican Sisters and of the four pillars of Dominican life – study, prayer, community, and preaching. In addition, she introduced participants to the four Enactments from the Congregation's 2016 General Chapter: Spiritual Longings, Sustainability, Resilient Communities, and Diversity-Relationships. Members of the General Council explained the Enactments in greater detail on the morning of March 24.
"My heart is abundantly grateful to each of you for your commitment to participate with us and even more so for your faithful commitment to your ministry or institution," Sister Pat said. "As the number of our Sisters and Associates serving in our institutions decline, we give to you our Dominican history and heritage. We stand ready to assist and give moral and spiritual support."
Co-workers from each of the institutions shared their own reflections and experiences of living out the Adrian Dominican Mission, both individually and in their respective institutions.
Ministering at St. Rose Dominican Hospitals has been "transformational and relational," said Teressa Conley, President of the St. Rose de Lima Hospital. "We are changed by working side by side with our Sisters. They show us the 'why' of health care and the difference between a healing experience and a simple clinical experience."
She recalled the tragic day, October 1, 2017, when 58 people in Las Vegas were killed in a mass shooting. "Our hospitals played a major part [in healing those who were wounded], and our Sisters were front and center in healing, ministering, and grieving – not only with patients and families but with the staff. … If you were to ask staff what is the most important part of being a faith-based community, I know what they would say."
Jill Farrell, Dean of the Adrian Dominican School of Education at Barry University, said she always felt included and accepted in the Barry community – and challenged to grow. "I think I'm a reflection of what happens to all of us" at Barry, she said. "We are able to dig deep within ourselves. We get to know ourselves so well that we grow into the person we're supposed to be." She said she was then able to help develop leaders for the local community and the global community, bring Barry programs to the Bahamas, and "grow a vibrant presence there."
Nanette Mickiewicz, MD, President of Dominican Hospital, said she sees the Adrian Dominican mission in action every day at the hospital: through traditional health care ministries such as the mobile van and the work of doctors and nurses – but also through other employees of Dominican. "I see the food and nutrition workers, the social workers, and the engineers," she said "Even though their job isn't specific patient care, we couldn't do our job without them. They remind us that this isn't our job – it's our mission."
In small groups, participants from different institutions discussed what their own institution was doing to "develop, live, nurture and sustain the Dominican identity and spirit" and how they could improve on what they were doing. The next morning, after hearing more detailed descriptions of the four General Chapter Enactments, participants discussed them in small groups.
During the final afternoon, Sisters and Co-workers from the same institution gathered to discuss how they would move forward the Adrian Dominican Sisters' Mission, Vision, and Enactments. Drawing on the 2016 General Chapter theme, "A Great Hope in Common," the conference culminated with the final formal session, in which representatives of each institution shared their "action plan" for continuing to nurture the Adrian Dominican spirit and Mission. Representatives of each institution wrote their action plan on the back of a puzzle piece that contained their institution's name, so that the institutions – and the Adrian Dominican Sisters – together shared "A Great Hope in Common."
Sister Mary Margaret sent the group out with a new responsibility: "to take this message to your board, your employees, your patients, your students."
Sister Pat closed the last formal session by expressing her gratitude to the conference participants – and to their colleagues back home at their institutions. "You are the ones with feet on the ground who are literally living the Gospel, who are literally bringing our Dominican charism to life," she said. "We support you and we entrust you to the future."
Members of the Sponsorship Commission are: Roxanne Davies, Barry University; Sister Sharon Weber, OP, Siena Heights University; Sister Mary Jean Williams, OP, Regina Dominican High School; Linda Trethewey, Rosarian Academy; Sister Rita Eileen Dean, OP, Dominican Hospital; Sister Kathleen McGrail, OP, St. Rose Dominican Hospitals; and Sister Carleen Maly, OP, Dominican Rea Literacy Centers.

Swaziland, Economy
large airport, Mbabane, customs union, forestland, pineapples
Swazilands labor force is split between two dominant sectors, agriculture and services. Some 26 percent of its workforce engaged in crop or livestock production, while another 48 percent hold service jobs. The country's economy is tied to that of South Africa through trade and currency links, and can rise or fall depending on the fortunes of its large neighbor. Gross domestic product in 2000 was $1.5 billion, or an average of $1,410 per person.
About three-quarters of the population live on Swazi national land, most cultivating staple crops of maize or herding livestock. The country's most productive farmland, however, are the tracts in private hands, which produce about 75 percent of the country's exports. Chief cash crops are sugarcane grown on irrigated land, cotton, citrus fruits, and pineapples. Livestock includes 615,000 cattle and 445,000 goats. Swaziland also has an important forestry industry. Much of the 522,000 hectares (1,289,890 acres) of forestland is devoted to production of pine. Because of a favorable climate, pine reaches maturity in Swaziland more than twice as fast as in Europe.
Swaziland has large reserves of anthracite coal, which with asbestos form the country's mineral exports. Asbestos extraction has diminished in recent years because health risks associated with the material have decreased its use. Industrial diamond mining began in the mid-1980s. Much of Swaziland's manufacturing is related to agricultural and wood processing. The tourism industry is growing; some 325,000 people visited Swaziland in 1998, attracted by the country's game preserves and mountain scenery.
The principal exports are sugar, wood and wood pulp, canned and fresh fruit, and mineral products. Along with Botswana, Namibia, and Lesotho, Swaziland is a member of a customs union with South Africa, and the country is Swaziland's chief trading partner. The unit of currency is the lilangeni (plural: emalangeni), which is maintained at an equal value with the South African rand (6.94 emalangeni equal U.S.$1; 2000 average).
Swaziland has 294 km (183 mi) of railroads, linking it to the ports of Maputo in Mozambique and Richard's Bay and Durban in South Africa. The road system extends 3,247 km (2,018 mi). The country's only large airport is at Matsapa, near Mbabane.

Cody Toye has a way with fantasy/paranormal/ sci-fi/horror. He has done it with his series "Intangibles" and he brings those skills to bear here in "Clone Zone". The digital short story is quick, furious, and rampaging. This is the 24th installment in The Author's Lab/Collaborations series and it is a barnburner.

I grew up among bombed buildings and hearing stories from my parents about the difficultes of air raids, so it was little wonder I'd always wanted to write a novel with World War II as its theme. When I found out about the shameful and extraordinarily cruel internment of Italian men in 1940, I knew I had an amazing event around which to build a story. Internment of Italians happened in Britain, where I set the novel, but it also happened in the United States — California recently apologized…Continue

I am noticing a trend here, each of Layton Green's titles have two words in them. First there was "The Summoner" and now "The Egyptian". Personally I don't really care; I just enjoy the main character in both, the Dominic Grey, wait that was three words. Okay enough joking around. Layton Green's novels are infused with common things, science, extremes, and action. A nice formula. There seems to be no middle ground..

What if their purpose in traveling back through time was to ensure historical events took place so they could protect their…Continue

Hiroshima is a coastal city known for its industrial prosperity, excellent cuisine and exciting nightlife. Yet despite its modern image it will always be known for its grim past, the first victim of the atomic bomb. On the 6th of August, 1945 the city of Hiroshima and a large portion of its people were obliterated by the destructive power of the American super weapon. Now only a few building remain that survived the initial blast the rest can be experienced in the Peace Memorial Park. Where you can find yet another sorrowful tale about the children's hospital, linked to the children's hospital and particularly the story of a single girl are the heart-warming origami cranes which can be found draped over one of the memorials. There are plenty of other places to visit around the city but more so outside of it.
For those of you who may not have studied the Second World War here is a bit more information that concerns the city and the people of Hiroshima. 1945 marks the year the Second World War ended both in Europe and in the Pacific. On the 6th of August Japan experienced the destructive capabilities of the newly developed super weapon known as the Atomic Bomb; this was only the beginning since a second one was dropped on the city of Nagasaki several days later. The bomb dropped by the Americans above the city annihilating approximately 75% of the city and claiming around 140 thousand lives, some people where lucky enough to be killed instantly others suffered slow deaths caused by the initial radiation burn and the other negative effect it has on their health. To help you understand some people died within days of the explosion others months. The memorial museum shows you the other side of the story and the horrors the city and its surviving residents had to go through.
On another, more positive note, Miyajima island is a must see when visiting Hiroshima, located less than an hour outside the city and is very easy to reach by train and then ferry. The picturesque view of the Itsukushima shrine and its Torii gate floating in the water attracts tourists from all over the globe and is the island's main attraction. Although, there is more to see and experience such as Mount Misen and the many walking trails that take you through the peaceful nature around the island, as well as the quaint village at the entrance to the island.
When visiting Hiroshima you have to keep in mind that even though the city itself has a few attractions, you can also find many other worthwhile attractions outside of it.
