1 | example_12674 | Helping Hands For A Church - tribunedigital-mcall
August 06, 1992|by THOM KUPPER, The Morning Call
It's an unusual man who can get excited about a doorknob.
Unusual, but very important, at least to the people who planned a renovation of Bethlehem's Central Moravian Church several years ago.
What they needed was someone to replicate the 190-year-old brass door pulls at the side entrances to the church. One of the door pulls was missing, and they wanted to sell copies of the distinctive door pulls as a fund-raiser.
As a guide, they had someone's years-old failed attempt at molding a new pull. It was supposed to look like a hand sticking out of the church door and grasping a bar, the same as the original. But the detail of the new one just wasn't as good, and whoever made it had apparently abandoned the project in despair.
The mold went home with Barry Pell, a member of the church who lent his expertise as an architect to the renovation. Pell showed the mold to T. Grant Burke, a silversmith whose shop was in the same building as Pell's apartment.
"Barry brought me this mold," Burke remembers, "and said it didn't work, and I said I could see why."
Did Burke know of anyone who could do better? Of course he did. "This is my meat," he said recently. "This is the stuff I love to do."
They quickly agreed that Burke should refurbish the door pulls on the church and replace the one that was missing. When the work for the church was done, Burke kept making door pulls. The church has sold more than 125 of them at $100 each, reimbursing the silversmith for materials only. Proceeds go to the church's historical renovation fund.
He turns them out from a second-floor Main Street workshop as orders come in. The plan is to keep making them until the end of this year to take advantage of their marketability as Christmas presents.
After Pell came to him, Burke's first step was to study the door pulls on the church. Several of them had been significantly altered over the years, and he had to take them apart to try to guess their original form.
As for the old mold Pell brought him, Burke said its problem was that whoever made it had tried to do the pull in one piece. "It can't be done that way," he said.
Instead, the pulls should be made in three pieces, the way the originals were done in the early 19th century. The cuff, hand and bar are each a separate piece of brass, which allows Burke to use a smaller mold and enhances his precision.
Once he had figured out how to replicate the door pulls, Burke used a torch to separate the parts of one of the pulls. Then he packed the brass pieces into a metal frame and used a vulcanizing method to make his own mold. With that complete, it takes him about five hours to make each new door pull.
The tough part is that the molds were much larger than what Burke generally works with -- a peculiarity that Burke said would cause most silversmiths to shirk the assignment, but that he considered a challenge.
It took him six or seven tries to get his molds right. If they're done wrong, the metal will "migrate" inside the mold and "you might have a thumb coming out the side of it," Burke said.
When the last pull is done, the molds and a list of people who bought door pulls will be kept in the church's archives.
The significance of the door pulls is that they represent the importance of music in the Moravian church. Burke said the bar depicts a scroll of music held in the hand. As he got involved in the project, Burke also decided to join the church and remains a member.
He's sold the pulls to people all over the United States. Notes of thanks from satisfied customers hang on his walls.
"It's not just something that was done for the local people," Burke said. "These things are distributed all through eastern Europe."
Several of the pulls were taken to eastern Europe when a choir affiliated with the church toured there last year.
Robert Pharo, former president of the Moravian Church choir, said the choir had given them to their hosts in the former Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Germany. They left one pull in Herrnhut, Germany, an early center of the Moravian church.
Back in Bethlehem, Burke said he wasn't surprised that the church had overlooked him for several years before asking him to do the work.
His shop, two blocks down from the church, carries only his name on the door to announce its presence, and many people are unaware of his work, he said. "You're never a hero in your hometown."
Anyone interested in buying a door pull should contact the Central Moravian Church, 73 W. Church St., Bethlehem 18018. | http://articles.mcall.com/1992-08-06/news/2873205_1_pulls-mold-new-door | 2018/12/14 12:59:14 | mC4 |

Most clinical research studies pose the risk of physical discomfort, although some participants experience complications that require medical attention. In rare cases, participants have been seriously injured or have died resulting from their ingestion of experimental pharmaceutical preparations. The specific risks associated with a research protocol are described in detail in the informed consent document. Also, a member of the medical research team must explain the major risks of participating in a pharmacy study. Beyond major requirements within the pharmacy department, you may consider Jacksonville State University genetics course as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.
Assisted Reproductive Technologies, such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF), often involve the use of hormones to stimulate a woman's ovaries to produce multiple egg-bearing follicles. The eggs are removed from the ripened follicles and transferred to a special media, where sperm are introduced. If fertilization occurs and viable embryos are produced, a limited number are transferred directly into the uterus. Pre-implantation genetic screening is used in conjunction with embryo biopsy to scan for disorders such as hemophilia and cystic fibrosis. Going on to nursing study via Alamance CC surgical assistant program, for example, can help you find a rewarding position in the medical services field.
Technical programs are a low-cost alternative to attending a regular four-year university, and you can earn good money as a highly-skilled, technical specialist.

Then there's Howard CC AP Calculus bc credit, with enrolled students from around the world.
Most colleges accept either the SAT or ACT, and have formulas for converting raw test scores. SAT test questions can be trickier and harder to understand, while ACT questions are longer on average, and take more time. Other college admissions information sources, like Hennepin Technical College online associates degrees, promote the use of standardized tests in admissions decisions because there are substantial differences in course requirements, high school GPA, and grade curve difficulty among US schools. You can also explore Southern Maine Community College credit classes, in order to further target your academic interests.
The overall time that students spend in college is getting longer, with undergraduate study increasingly leading onwards to graduate school. High school grades are the most important factor in gaining admission to the college of your choice, along with letters of recommendation. According to data on Jamestown Community College admissions email pages, an ideal academic record consists of a high GPA in courses of progressive difficulty. About half of colleges use placement tests and a waiting list, and many community colleges have agreements with bachelor programs at four-year universities. You may compare Smith College course registration with other schools that you're considering.
Academic and athletic scholarships are highly competitive, and are usually awarded either by the admissions office directly, or through individual departmental awards. Student loans typically have variable interest rates while federal student loan programs have fixed rates for the duration of the loan. Financial aid may be administered via Norco College need based aid or through academic departments. Alternatively, student credit cards may seem like a good short-term solution, but the interest rates are high, and credit cards often carry an annual fee. Peterson's Scholarship Search Award Database is drawn from Peterson's college guidebooks. While local churches may not have the funding to provide IT scholarships, their headquarters may have scholarship funds available.

Ariana Grande is due to perform at the annual LGBT event in August (Dave Hogan for One Love Manchester)
Ariana Grande has responded to the backlash over her headlining Manchester Pride, saying: "I'm not claiming to be the hero of the community."
The US singer is due to perform at the annual LGBT event in August, two years after a suicide bomber killed 22 people at her concert in the city.
Grande has now waded in on Twitter, explaining why the show is so important to her.
"The LGBTQ community has been so special to me and supportive throughout my entire career," said the star.
"And also I wanna visit a city that means so much to me," she added.
"LGBTQ representation is incredibly important, and I'm always proud to share the stage with artists LGBTQ artists!
"I have nothing to do with ticket pricing – Manchester pride sets those rates, and they're mostly out of my control," she explained.
After her headlining slot was announced she tweeted that she was "thrilled" to be performing at the event. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/lifestyle/music-lifestyle/1688002/ariana-grande-responds-to-backlash-over-her-manchester-pride-slot/ | 2020/08/07 10:01:16 | mC4 |

Okay, enough of that scary stuff, let’s stick with using the very friendly GitHub Desktop GUI and the website. GitHub Desktop is basically an application which can be downloaded from here and allows the user to interact and use the GitHub features without having to go onto your web browser every single time. After all of them have installed the application, they should see a screen that looks similar to this – except that for new users, ‘Your Repositories’ should start off empty.
Okay, let’s say Esther (Manager) has created an initial script on her own computer for the age curve in R called ‘model.r’, which uses Simple Linear Regression to model the relationship between policyholders’ age and the average claims incurred. The contents of model.r looks something like this:
Nothing fancy, all the script does is to read the dataset in, instantiate a simple linear regression model and print the calculated coefficients.
Esther now wants both Jimmy and Michelle to work on improving it and can do that by uploading the current script into the remote repository created so all three of them have access to it. Remember, she created a remote repository before on the GitHub website, but will need a file in her local machine which she can use to sync the documents (The local repository). Think of it as dropping some files into a local DropBox or GoogleDrive folder to sync them into your online storage. Esther can do this by simply clicking on the ‘Clone a Repository from the Internet’ button, which would bring up the screen below.
Here, she should be able to see the newly created remote repository. Now she has to decide on a local path to store this ‘syncing’ folder and hit clone. | https://ikbengered.nl/isabel-may/ | 2021-02-27T16:18:09Z | OSCAR-2109 |

hello all. So I've been tracking my O with Wondfo ovulation test. I just thought I'd share my way of keep track of it. I use to just throw them away but found that by doing this I can see how the line darkens each day. This as you can see the first pic is my month of November and I O'd the 23rd am and it got darker when I took a test that night. Then the 24th am I was still ovulating, and by the 25th the line was lightening. Just thought I'd share!

Around 40% of the world population has an internet connection today. In 1995, it was less than 1%. The number of internet users has increased tenfold from 1999 to 2013. The first billion was reached in 2005. The second billion in 2010. The third billion in 2014.
Digital media is so pervasive that consumers have access to information any time and any place they want it. Digital media is an ever-growing source of entertainment, news, shopping and social interaction, and consumers are now exposed not just to what your company says about your brand, but what the media, friends, relatives, peers, etc., are saying as well.
Recent study says that 89 percent of consumers turn to search engines to find information on products, services or businesses prior to making purchases.The study points to dependence on search for shopping research as a “key insight into the influence the internet wields in consumers’ lives,” demonstrating the need for strong digital marketing strategies from brands.

Teachers in Thailand, and the rest of the world, are often motivated by the desire to make a positive change for children. There are so many ways to enrich the lives of students, but obviously the main objective is to advance their education.
Most Thai public schools have mandatory English classes, even if the school doesn’t have foreign (native-speaking or fluent) English teachers. These courses are taught by Thai teachers who typically can’t speak English conversationally. Because they aren’t entirely familiar with the language, their lessons focus on vocabulary and grammar directly from the book. Continue reading →

Nearly 10,000 days. That’s the duration of time between when I first saw the band Survivor perform at Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, PA and the day I took my daughter Jillian to see them for the very first time this past Sunday at Penns Peak.
Oh sure, we went to Hershey Park a few summers ago when the band was there but let’s be honest: when you put an 8-year-old girl in an amusement park surrounded by chocolate it’s damn near impossible to get her to sit still for an audio assault of classic rock.
So, while Mom and child made their way around the park Dad took one for the team. I know, it’s a tough job.
But Sunday night was the ideal night. It had been almost seven years since Jimi Jamison fronted the band and it would be Jillian’s first time to see and hear the band her Dad’s been clamoring about since she first wondered what that “Vital Signs” album was doing hanging on the wall in his office.
If you are a classic rock, hair-metal or country music lover Penns Peak is the absolute best place to see a show. It reminds me so much of the intimacy that Stabler Arena had. A venue that when you first walk in you can literally read the band’s name on the drum header without the need of binoculars. As far as I’m concerned a concert isn’t just a band playing for you. You need to be part of the experience. A concert is when the band is playing WITH you.
As Jillian and I stood in the second row the band ran through a gambit of hits and even a few surprises as well. Truth be told, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard them sound this good. And this was only their fourth show together with this new line-up. A sign of good things to come!
We were extremely fortunate to get back stage passes for a quick meet and greet with the band after the show.
Jillian, an aspiring singer herself, asked Jimi (one of the greatest male rock vocalists of all time) if he had any advice for her. This is what he said:
Persistence. Just keep singing. The more you do it, the better you get. That’s the best advice I can give you!
My mind is a bit faded since that Survivor concert two dozen years ago and for the longest time it was hard for me to try to put into words how I felt the night I saw them for the very first time.
That was until a friend showed me a picture she had taken of Jillian and me after the show was over. Then I figured it out.
After the band said goodbye and got into the van to take them back to the hotel Jillian and i stood there for a minute basking in the glow. It was at this point that a simple song lyric came to mind:
We will remember this first night together. After all the songs fade away and the stage fades to gray.
As we were making our way out a stage hand from the band came over and asked Jillian if she had gotten an “official” Survivor Frankie Sullivan guitar pick.
After she told him that she didn’t he took one that he had gotten from the stage and handed it to her as if it might mean something.
as i read this, the smile never left my face. not only because i was standing next to you during the show and feeling all those same emotions, but because of the joy i find in the fact that you can share this whole experience with jilian.
the last time i saw the band with jimi as lead was ’87. and though i’ve seen jimi a few times on his own, there is definitely a different vibe when jimi & frankie are on stage together.
thanks for the nod, my friend…it was a great night.hope to do it again soon. Can anybody say “road trip”?
I found myself thinking back to that “First Night” I saw them with REO. Still ranks as my best concert experience ever. Perhaps so because as a teen I connected with Vital Signs so well (and REO’s Wheel’s Are Turnin’ too). Both of those records came out at the perfect time for me.
Prior to last night (and Danville) the last time I saw them with Jimi was at that show in 1985 so it was surreal for me.
For a Survivor freak who has never had the opportunity to see them in real life, you guys make it real for me. MTC
It was some night that’s for sure! So moving to hear you describe seeing the show with Jillian. A father/daughter experience to be treasured forever! Great to see ya again, Jim.
Honestly, the look she has on her face after the show was the same that was on me when I walked out of Stabler arena all those years ago.
Just a big huge sigh of “that’s what being a great parent is all about” – I am just picturing your night out & her meeting Jimi – and the big warm fuzzy feeling you had inside Jim!
I saw them in ’85 with REO and had a blast. Even got a wave from JJ before the show. He was wearing the same jacket he has on in the Burning Heart video. They were fantastic! I saw JJ a few times and Survivor this past August. Lots of fun to see them again. JJ is my favorite and hope to see him many more times. Have some photos on Twitter but much more on Facebook, if you’re interested in seeing them.
That is awesome about the guitar pick. What a nice closure to a wonderful day. I don’t suppose you remember where you got Jillian her shirt, do you? It would make an awesome gift to a family member of mine. =)
We actually got the shirt at the show. They were selling them there. I remember they also used to have a “store” on their website where you could buy them, but I don’t see it there anymore. Good luck in your search.
Michael Sweet’s new solo album, One Sided War, is packed with hook-laden songs that transcend the tasty fretwork and soaring vocals we’ve come to expect from the Stryper frontman.
On the new disc, Sweet is joined by a plethora of seasoned musicians, including guitarists Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake) and Ethan Brosh, bassist John O’Boyle and drummer Will Hunt (Evanescence). Newcomer guitarist/vocalist Moriah Formica accompanies Sweet on a tasty duet, “Can’t Take This Life.”
In addition to the new solo album, Sweet—along with the rest of Stryper—is gearing up for a tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of that band’s monster album, To Hell with the Devil.
I recently spoke with Sweet about One Sided War, Stryper’s upcoming tour, gear and more. You can check out our chat below.
It’s everything to me. Many artists seem to lose their drive and passion for doing it as they get older. They’ll say things like it’s not really worth it to make new albums. But the thing about me is that it feels as though I’ve gained more drive and more passion. I just love what I do.
It’s obviously got some similarities to the sound of some of the other things I’ve done in the past because I can’t escape the sound of my voice or the style of my guitar playing. But I always try to bring in new ingredients and substance to give it a different flair. I always say it’s the best thing I’ve ever done, and I mean it. But that’s not meant to be a slam on the other projects. I just go into each project trying new things—using new equipment and trying different mic and amp techniques to improve upon the last project. I never sit down and think about what I want to sing or play. I just do what comes from the heart. | OSCAR-2019 |

How do you encourage an INTP?
Are INTPs aggressive?
Can INTP be emotional?
INTPs also might want to avoid conflict, and dislike the idea of getting into a serious argument with someone when they do feel emotionally invested in them.
If a person refuses to let go and will only make the situation worse, the INTP might take to ghosting them to move on from the relationship..
If an INTP needs encouragement or motivation in a goal, it's important to not inundate them with a lot of advice or input. This can make them lose their focus. Simply show enthusiasm for their idea and actively listen as they talk about it. Ask questions.
While INTPs aren't entirely in touch with their own emotions, they definitely dislike passive aggressive behavior in others. They can become frustrated when people try to be subtle but their behavior completely gives them away.
The INTP wants the world to make sense, so they may have a hard time admitting they feel emotions like disappointment, anger, or embarrassment.
Most of the time the INTPs anger comes from a problem or feeling which they have avoided or neglected for a long time. They attempt to push those feelings aside in hopes of not being seen as emotional, instead they want to be as logical as possible.
INTPs aren't often ones to fit in easily, which can certainly make them seem weird to others. They have a rather unique way of seeing the world, as well as how they respond to it. … Being a rare personality type is often a big part of why the INTP can feel weird or even awkward around some people.
They are often attracted to people who are very passionate and this type of excitement for things can be inspiring for the INTP. … It can seem intimidating at first but INTPs do find themselves drawn to people who are different than them, and who have a way of being charming and adventurous. | https://aryanhospitalsiwan.com/qa/how-do-you-annoy-an-intp.html | 2021/08/04 21:46:25 | mC4 |

4th Annual CRM Editors' Roundtable: The State of CRM in 2010
I'm Back! Yes it's been a long time, so it has to be called a comeback. But there's time to go into why it's been so long later on. Today it's all about this year's annual roundtable conversation with the CRM editors.
It's hard to believe that this is the year four in having the best and brightest editor types join me to discuss what's going on in customer relationship management. But I'm fortunate to have two of the best editors AND thinkers in the industry share their considerable knowledge and insights on what's going on in the space.
Every time I've done this 1to1 Media's Ginger Conlon has been right there with me. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about the industry, she's one of the nicest people in the industry. The same can be said for Josh Weinberger of CRM magazine, who joins us for the second year in a row.
Ginger and Josh tackle a number of different topics, including trust-ability, where we are with social crm, the impact of the economy on CRM, and some predictions about what the year ahead will throw at us - like why Josh feels you shouldn't put too much emphasis on Facebook.
Both Ginger and Josh have valuable perspectives and opinions, and you can hear them all below on the player, or by clicking here to download the mp3. The conversation is right at 40 minutes.
Thanks again Ginger and Josh. And see you next year!!!

Factory Farm hazardous air pollution – your right to know is threatened
Today, MEA joined over seventy environmental and sustainable agriculture organizations in urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency not to exempt livestock operations from the reporting requirements of the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). MEA signed on to a letter to the EPA, written by the environmental law firm Earthjustice, asserting that the proposed exemption is unlawful and would greatly reduce the ability of local and state regulators to monitor releases of toxic ammonia and hydrogen sulfide gasses from factory farms.
Read MEA's Press Release on the proposed exemption.

0 | example_85432 | The Highlanders established a distinctive tactical identity under former head coach Jamie Joseph: they ensured that games were played at pace, backed their defence to withstand a high volume of opposition possessions, and looked to strike quickly with efficient and inventive attacking play. Under Joseph’s former assistant Tony Brown during the 2017 season, the team did not alter this approach – Round 1 against the Chiefs aside. They averaged only 45.7% of the total carries made in their fixtures – 4% lower than any other New Zealand franchise – but generated cleak breaks with the second-highest frequency (11.2%) of all teams in the competition; on the other side of the ball, they allowed opponents to make clean breaks with the third-lowest frequency (7.3%) teams.
After a win over the Blues last weekend, it appears that – despite a third head coach in three seasons – the team’s tactical approach will not be significantly different in 2018. They made 44.9% of the game’s total carries in Aaron Mauger’s first game in charge, and scored points with quick, efficient attacking strikes.
The short kicking game of halfbacks Aaron Smith and Lima Sopoaga has historically been a fundamental feature of the Highlanders’ set-piece attack. The accuracy of the two All Blacks in this area allows the team to manipulate the four defenders whose positioning dictates where the attacking team can find space: the full-back, two wingers and scrum-half.
In the first example below – from Round 2 of 2017 against the Crusaders – Seta Tamanivalu begins flat on the left wing to cover the running threat of Waisake Naholo, and full-back David Havili is in a shallow position directly behind the scrum. Smith’s dart from the base to escape the back row also has the effect of holding Tamanivalu and Havili in the front line, and the scrum-half threads a grubber kick perfectly into the open space beyond the two defenders:
In the second example from this fixture, Sopoaga drops a short chip perfectly into space behind the Crusaders’ midfield, an area which scrum-half Bryn Hall is unable to cover as sweeper:
Crucially, Hall begins the sequence in the 5m channel – with hooker Codie Taylor at the tail of the lineout – and this defensive set-up likely costs the scrum-half the extra few metres necessary to get between the ball and Naholo, who is making an excellent tracking run on the inside from the blindside wing and collects Fekitoa’s offload after he is tackled by the full-back.
The franchise’s historic win over the British & Irish Lions showcased another aspect of their attacking kicking game, with centre Teihorangi Walden’s accurate short grubbers turning the opposition’s aggressive press on a number of occasions. In last Friday’s game, it was outside centre Rob Thompson – effectively the fourth kicking option in a backline featuring Smith, Sopoaga and Walden inside him – whose right foot was used to great effect for the Highlanders’ fifth and final try:
Despite Thompson’s sub-optimal execution – the chip is slightly too long, and allows scrum-half Augustine Pulu the chance to cover – the Highlanders’ attacking alignment and awareness of the Blues’ defensive structure creates a situation where they are able to exploit a somewhat fortuitous bounce of the ball. | http://heatherhopefarm.com/lessons-from-the-farm/we-never-outgrow-our-need-of-mothers/ | 2021-02-27T06:58:38Z | OSCAR-2109 |

i am using XBMC 11.0 Eden (GIT: unknown, compiled mar 24 2012) on different machines, three of them are running on Ubuntu 10.10, the other machines are windows-based.
Since some days the support for the Ubuntu-version stopped, so i am thinking what version of ubuntu to use for best performance and stability on these linux-machines.
Two linux-machines are old PCs that run as XBMC-players connected to TV-screens, they are from 2006 and run on AMD Athlon 3500+ (single core) with 1GB RAM, the other machine is a notebook wkith 4 Gig of ram and a Pentium Dual Core.
I see no problems for the notebook to run a 11.04, but don't know if the older systems will run that without problems.
Any hints what to install that runs good on that machines and don't need much tweaking to run XBMC?

You could always take XBMCbuntu for a spin on them and see how they perform with that. If you wait another week then you can try out the latest Ubuntu (12.04) which is going to be an LTS release - or just go ahead and try the beta out now. I've got the 12.04 beta on a couple of devices and it's been stable enough so far. Should you go for the beta and like it, just remember that when the full release goes live you can update rather than having to do a re-install.

I have installed the 11.04 on different systems and did not like it much, the new graphical interface did not like me ... Have things improved a year later? If everything is better i will try the beta on one machine (perhaps the notebook, i am updating it to 11.04 quite now) and look how it works. | http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=129276&pid=1079868 | 2017/04/25 12:36:34 | mC4 |

BOSTON–Utsav, a South Asian student organization at the Northeastern University in Boston, has won the university's Richard E. Sochacki Organization of the Year Award for Social Justice.
Utsav, the Sanskrit word meaning festival, was started in 1991 by a handful of South Asian students. Now in its 23rd year, Utsav has grown into a large and vibrant community of over 300 students and alumni, according to Utsav's website.
"We strive to provide a sense of belonging and knowledge about South Asian culture and heritage. We represent students from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka," says the website of the organization. "Although we represent these six countries, we would like to stress that ANYONE can become a member of Utsav. You do not have to be of South Asian descent to learn about the culture and traditions of South Asia."
Northeastern presented its annual Student Life Awards on Wednesday, recognizing students and student organizations that have done outstanding work throughout the past year, reported News at Northeastern.
Student organizations are nominated by organization presidents or their members for consideration and chosen by a selection committee from the Office of Student Affairs. The Center for Student Involvement organized the awards ceremony.

1 | example_24264 | “Add to that the cost of running the sites and making resources available to monitor activities and clean up the aftermath, a picture emerges of why the designated site allocation is not feasible. Furthermore, the designated sites have done little to deter the illegal discharge of fireworks in residential areas, which is an ongoing problem.”
Smith says the City has not banned fireworks, as only the government has the authority to do so. Permits for firework displays can still be applied for, in terms of the relevant legislation.
IOL reported that according to City Safety and Security executive director Richard Bosman, the events department had not received any applications related to fireworks displays.
Anyone found illegally discharging fireworks will face a fine. In terms of Section 30 of the Explosives Act of 1956, the use or detonation of any fireworks in any building and public thoroughfare is liable for a R200 fine. Selling fireworks to a child or anyone under the age of 16 is a R300 fine. Allowing a child or person under the age of 16 to handle fireworks without adult supervision is a R300 fine.
The public is reminded that the import and sale of fireworks without the necessary permissions outlined in the Explosives act is illegal, as is the discharge of fireworks in an area not specifically designated for it.
Members of the public with information relating to the illegal sale or use of fireworks should report this to the City’s Public Emergency Communication Centre on 107 from a landline or 021 480 7700 from a cellphone or to the South African Police Service on 10111.

Make Rubulad's Dream Home Come True by, Rubulad
A few years ago, I was just a naive 18 year old NYU freshman from suburban California...which meant I never left the four block radius of Washington Square Park. That all changed when I decided to make the harrowing journey to the distant land of Brooklyn in search of some party called "Rubulad." As soon as I walked into the huge warehouse someone put a bumblebee hat on my head, and then I looked around — the place was pulsating with music, covered with art, filled with sweaty dancing bodies, had sticky beer floors, and there were people dressed in astronaut costumes. Terrifying. Now Rubulad is moving, and supporting their project will get you a piece of the insanity in the form of rewards like having a ten year old shoot a bow and arrow on stilts at your next party. — Nicole H.
Visions of Mustang: Bringing Sight to the Forbidden Kingdom by, Joey Brunelle
The Forbidden Kingdom of Mustang in Nepal is one of the last refuges of the traditional Tibetan Buddhist way of life. If you want to visit, you'll need to take a bush plane to a remote region of Nepal, then crisscross the Himalayas, at elevations as high as 13,000 feet, for three days, on a horse. As you can imagine, these people have virtually no access to medical care of any sort, yet the UV rays are so extreme at such high altitudes, that cataracts, and blindness, abound. Enter 18 monks, 35 ponies, 400 kilos of medical gear, a handful of rough and tumble doctors, 1650 patients, and one surprise cameo of Bruce Colville's timeless classic, My Teacher is an Alien, and you've got one hell of a documentary. — Meaghan O.

Today's show might seem like a slight deviation from my usual focus on creating a compassionate vegan world however it's an important topic that's close to my heart. Since starting podcast interviews and chatting with so many passionate, strong and successful individuals it's frankly blown my mind how many of these powerful ladies (and Yes, thus far they have all been ladies) have shared they used to struggle with an eating disorder.
My guest today, Melainie Rogers MS, RDN, CDN, CEDRD-S is a recognised expert on eating disorders. As a speaker, educator, and Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian (CEDRD) Melainie is dedicated to supporting others in their quest to achieve long term recovery from eating disorders and enjoy a more harmonious relationship with food and their bodies. She is the Founder and Executive Director of BALANCE eating disorder treatment center™ which offers outpatient programs treating the spectrum of eating disorders and is located in the heart of New York city.
Melainie is also the co-founder and first President of the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals New York Chapter.
My personal interest in this topic is deep. I'm interested to learn about the genetic vulnerability to developing an eating disorder. I'd like to discuss the fine line between being "healthy" and getting "restrictive" and of course I'm keen to touch on the unwarranted bad wrap veganism can get when it's labelled restrictive and even disordered.
To set the stage to this conversation where of course – I'm not the expert – however I do feel very strongly opposed to Veganism being labeled as harmful or unhealthy. Veganism is a belief system based on compassion and causing the least possible harm. It's focused on the animals whereas, when you're caught in the grips of an eating disorder I'd suggest that's entirely self-focused. Ideally as a vegan you can extend your compassion beyond just the animals, to your fellow humans and of course absolutely 100% to yourself too.
Food Is just one component of this lifestyle choice and as ethical vegans no longer see animals a "food" not eating them is not restrictive. Rather it's common that a vegan lifestyle prompts you to try a much more diverse range of foods.
Bringing a whole foods plant based eating strategy to your vegan ethic is my recommendation and I can see that could snowball into something excessive. Not because of the vegan ethic, rather as a spiral that I would suggest would more likely begin with someone obsessing over their health and "clean food." There's a term for this: Orthorexia, which Melainie and I will discuss.
I guess my fear and frustration is that the professionals aligned with animal agriculture – those people incentivised to push animal products – declare veganism to be restrictive and unhealthy without due diligence or due cause and by doing so, maybe scare well intentioned individuals off embracing a healthy vegan lifestyle. Without doubt the whole foods plant based approach I advocate is vastly more abundant, sustainable and enjoyable than the hideous diets I've been distraught to see many clients and gym members inflict upon themselves over the years.
I'm biased, for sure however I also have a solid variety of experience to draw on.
I've done super restrictive meat eating and vegetarian. I've eliminated ALL fat, then counted calories and carbs. Over 25 years ago I personally struggled with an eating disorder and it was without doubt a desperate attempt to exert some control in my life. My focus at that time was less is best. I had no love for my body. We weren't working as a team. It was a constant and never-ending discipline and control fuelled battle.
In that regard it reminds me of the attitudes dieters bring to their body and the food they deprive it of.
The vegan lifestyle allows me to focus on what's best for my body while at the same time embracing what's best for the planet and of course most importantly what's best for the animals that no longer die for my taste and convenience.
As I said, I'm biased. Let's chat to the expert!
How Melainie got into this line of work and also her own journey in recovering from an eating disorder.
Being genetically vulnerable to developing an eating disorder.
The fine line between being "healthy" and getting "restrictive."
What happen on a biochemical level when you restrict food?
Why diets don't work and what to do instead?
Binge eating disorder – what is it and how can we stop it?
I'm back on my own and WOW that time flew by! Secret admission, I felt a little defensiveness when first reading Melainie's one-sheet and noting: Orthorexia / Clean eating / Veganism grouped together.
When you feel defensive for whatever reason – it's actually a pretty clear signal to dig a little deeper. I talk often enough about carnist defensiveness and triggering! It was time to take my own advice, put my ego aside and learn from this expert. I want to know if vegans are more susceptible to developing an eating disorder. I don't want to ignore it. That's not aligned with creating a fit, strong, healthy, happy compassionate vegan world.
I found Melainie to be the perfect compassionate guide to have this discussion with. Though perhaps "to start this discussion with" is more apt as I really think this conversation deserves more time and perhaps a part 2. For now though if you'd like connect with Melainie here are all her contact details and also those amazing free resources.

Czechoslovakians Václau Laurin and Václau Klement were producers and innovators in bicycles and motorbikes before moving into autos after a merger in 1925 with a company run by engineer Emil Skoda. Skoda-branded cars appeared the following year, and the 1938 Popular was one of the company’s innovative small cars of the ’30s before Skoda became state-owned after World War II. The Octavia nameplate debuted in 1959, though was among a series of models to have unpredictable handling. Combined with a reputation for quality issues, Skoda became the butt of jokes during much of the ’70s and ’80s. The 1988 Favorit – styled by Bertone and Skoda’s first front engine, front-wheel-drive car – was one of central Europe’s most popular cars, though, and the brand’s reputation headed quickly north after being acquired by Volkswagen in 1991. Sales headed in a similar direction, particularly in Europe, with Skoda models benefitting from shared platforms and components yet typically priced cheaper than the comparable VW. The Czech Republic brand returned to Australia in 2007. | OSCAR-2019 |

← Fr. Z's Kitchen: Concerning the making of tea, biscuits and Zagnut bars
THEY'RE HERE! Action Item Update – Red Pontifical Vestments Project – PHOTOS →
First, today I saw a piece at Breitbart that Pope Francis popularity has dropped. HERE
That said, I have received links to various articles saying that the Pope has considered establishing a commission to study the issue of the ordination of woman as deaconesses…. (aka deaconettes -it's easier to pronounce).
Studying is one thing and doing is another.
That said, I saw something telling in the Fishwrap account (aka National Schismatic Reporter).
First, I haven't seen news that a commission exists. Maybe I missed something.
Next, this also means that the Pope has not been talking to the people who are in favor of the ordination of women! He hasn't been paying attention to the advocates of deaconettes. Instead, he has been talking to those who find the question obscure and muddy.
Of course that is what this issue is: obscure and muddy. It is not at all likely that greater clarity will be gained from such a commission. Were there more out there to know… in serious, scholarly sources, that is… someone would have written it. Also, those with whom Francis speaks would have been able to point to it. Such a commission won't consider half-baked propaganda, after all.
Meanwhile, the serious scholarship that exists says: they were not ordained in a sacramental sense, as deacons were and are. Also, not every idea that the Church tried was a good one: many were dropped – like deaconettes. Moreover, nothing about this will happen for quite a while, I suspect.
Read Deaconesses: An Historical Study by Aime G Martimort. UK HERE
I might write more on this later, but for now that's enough. Right now this is much ado about nothing.

Maybe, like with wymyn prysts, the Pope at the end of this, will definitively declare that the church has no authority to ordain women to the deaconate.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that the ancient female-deacon practice was due to the need of aiding women who were being baptized by immersion, nothing in regards to aiding in the liturgy of the Mass. No?
12 May 2016 at 10:42 AM
"In 2002, the International Theological Commission concluded a five-year study of the question of women deacons, initiated at the request of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and reported that the deaconesses of the early Church were not analogous to the ordained deacons of today, either in their role in the Christian community or in how they were commissioned."
http://www.catholicworldreport.com/Blog/4775/report_francis_agrees_to_commission_to_study_women_deacons.aspx
12 May 2016 at 10:48 AM
I didn't realize the deaconess this was obscure or muddy. I'm no scholar, and there might be a detail or nuance I don't understand, but aside from people I've encountered who had an agenda for or against priestesses, every piece of information I've ever encountered on the matter was pretty clear that deaconesses were not sacramentally ordained nor numbered among the clergy.
12 May 2016 at 10:52 AM
Having read (endured?) the piece at the Fishwrap, in the same Q&A session, His Holiness squashed the idea of women giving homilies at Mass because they cannot stand in personae Christi. This seems to squash the idea of Holy Orders for women, which we all know is impossible. The Sacrament is one – it cannot be broken up. Deacons, priests, and bishops receive the Sacrament to lesser and greater degrees, with bishops receiving the fullness of it. A "deaconess" would not be part of Orders and therefore would not have any other liturgical function aside from those offered (extraordinarily) to lay persons. Given that no one baptizes naked adult women anymore (I hope), they really would not have any role different than what lay people already do (helping the poor, social work, etc). This is a useless pursuit driven solely by those seeking (impossible) ordination of women to the priesthood and the episcopacy.
12 May 2016 at 11:22 AM
I have Facebook acquaintances that are either losing their minds or loudly announcing that they will leave the Church and go back to their old lives over this. Your postings are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for your priesthood.
12 May 2016 at 11:26 AM
"Studying is one thing and doing is another….He hasn't been paying attention to the advocates of deaconesses. Instead, he has been talking to those who find the question obscure and muddy."
I tend to disagree. Replace deaconesses with birth control and you have exactly the same situation as the Humanae Vitae rebellion. If the commission is actually created, the damage will be done regardless of the findings of the commission because it's an admission that the issue of ordination of women is not settled doctrine.
One really has to question the purpose of even asking the question. The bulk of parishes I've been to, even orthodox parishes resemble a hen yard with one male priest surrounded by several women eucharistic ministers, women lectors, women organists, women ushers, women greeters, women social organizers, women office staff, etc. Women today likely take on more roles than they ever did in the Early Church. Sure you occasionally see a token non-priest male in the liturgical setting, but they are by far the exception.
That of course is the issue. Studies have shown that children are more likely to stay with the faith, if both parents are active in the faith, but if the father isn't active in the faith it's much more likely that the children abandon the faith than if the mother isn't active. We face a male crisis in the Church, not a women crisis, and unless we can get men to step up and visibly live the faith, the faith is doomed in the West.
Of course, I think deaconesses are a bad idea and give the wrong impression on the Rite of Ordination, etc.
BTW, does a pope have to be popular?
12 May 2016 at 12:05 PM
i acknowledge the sin of despair.
i understand that we may be in, or entering into, a time of chastisement.
i have read the words of St. Katherine of Sienna.
however, i find it very difficult to keep calm, to believe that this stuff is no big deal, and remain serene.
12 May 2016 at 12:09 PM
I think the headlines made by these comments of the pope will cause more mischief than the results of any commission, because the masses and its media messiahs will never read a commission report. A headline is just enough information for them to handle.
I think the pontiff – if he really is interested in this issue – should do a little research on the subject before making public statements. After all he can probably review the historical background on deaconesses in a couple of hours at most.
As a former Episcopalian/Anglican who left over women's ordination, I don't quite think this study is on the order of "nothing to see here/move along." On the other hand, there was a study on women's ordination to the priesthood by the Pontifical Biblical Institute which reached the tendentious conclusion that scripture didn't oppose such a step. And we know that nothing came of it, though the OW supporters trumped it up frequently. It all depends on who is on the commission, the conclusions reached, and what a future pope does with those conclusions.
As for the non-ordained "deaconesses" that were set apart in the Anglican and Lutheran churches up through the 60s, there is no theological objection per se and many of them did very hard, good work for Christ. Nora Binns and Emily Gardiner Neal of the Episcopal Church are excellent examples. (Neal was automatically "promoted" to deacon though not necessarily by her wishes – – she was opposed to women's ordination to the priesthood.) But I wonder what the point of doing so is given the fact that there are numerous other similar secular or religious "ministries" (for lack of a better word) for women today. There might be some quasi-liturgical function in a cloistered religious community, but not much more. The only real point would be to try to get the camel's nose under the tent for ontological impossibilities and the ecclesiastical auto-destruct button. Count me as opposed to this development.

Ugh. Another commission, more wasted money. The Church needs to focus its spending on real issues that can help humanity. This will not– because women already understand and serve the mission of our Church and do not need ordination to validate them. Women serving the Mission of Jesus are teaching, preaching, healing, blessing, anointing, working with the poor and vulnerable, listening, leading… in the home, workplace, and community– in the real world, which is where we must serve. The diaconate would add nothing for women.
That said, I deeply appreciate that Francis listens to and respects women and is willing to explore expressed concerns.
This can of worms is Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge! Big time!!!!
This is coming down the Jesuit pipeline of James Martin, SJ FB page. Seems our pope told a group of women religious he will form a commission to study this. Yikes!
I woke up to hearing this on Catholic radio and wanted to go back to sleep.
Our local "Theology on Tap" was recently going to host a discussion of the topic of "the ordination of women deacons", believing the matter to be debatable. There were several complaints, even among the clergy, and the topic was abruptly changed to instead discuss the Holy Father's recent post-synodal apostolic exhortation. I have a feeling today's comments by the Holy Father will only re-ignite a pointless conversation.
I am praying that such a commission could finally put the issue to rest, once and for all. However, I believe this has already been done in 2002 by the International Theological Commission:
"The present historical overview shows that a ministry of deaconesses did indeed exist, and that this developed unevenly in the different parts of the Church. It seems clear that this ministry was not perceived as simply the feminine equivalent of the masculine diaconate" (International Theological Commission, From the Diakonia of Christ to the Diakonia of the Apostles, chapter II, part IV).
12 May 2016 at 12:50 PM
A priest once told me that women deacons were used at baptisms.
Many people submerged themselves completely naked and in the interest of modesty the women deacons baptized women.
12 May 2016 at 1:02 PM
The appointment of commissions to study settled questions tends inevitably to unsettle them. Just as the publicity generated by Paul VI's appointment of a 1960s commission to study the question of artificial birth control rendered Humanae Vitae effectively DOA in many quarters of Catholic praxis. (Indeed, what other purpose do such study commissions have?)
12 May 2016 at 1:06 PM
Well, we all know the outcome of this already. It'll be stage-managed just as the Synod on the Family was. I'm not falling for this scam again. Wake me when it's over.
12 May 2016 at 1:16 PM
I find it VERY interesting that the Pope has said that he will get the Curia involved. According to CatholicHerald: "He told the meeting: "I will ask the [Congregation for the] Doctrine of the Faith to tell me if there are studies on this."" And again, "He said the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments would send the International Union of Superiors General a full explanation of why women could not give a homily at Mass."
It seems that the Pope believes in the proper authority and roles of his Congregations? See where I'm going with this… I guess we really should listen to Muller's interpretation of AL. After all, the Pope himself differs to the CDF on "obscure" and "muddy" issues.
I only wish the CDF would make an official statement about AL–identical to the refreshingly clear, intellectually rigorous, poetical, uncompromising, and–yes–tenderly merciful
lecture Muller gave about AL in Spain.
I had a conversation with someone about this very topic. She was promoting female deacons whereas I was not. As we were talking I noticed that the same arguments that I have heard women who support female priesthood were being used. I have a feeling that if women are allowed to become deaconesses, it is not going to stop there. While I know that he is only putting a commission together, the progressive side will run with this even after they proved that they were not ordained. This is just an open invite to support their ideology.
12 May 2016 at 1:29 PM
It is precisely because I am a woman that the idea of women deaconesses scares the bejeebers out of me. Does someone think that the Faith hasn't been feminized enough? Goodness, women have taken over everything in your typical parish except priest and deacon. And we've already got the deacon's wives stepping into the protestant minister's wife model, marking their territories in the parish. The people who pushed the married deacons are the same people who are pushing deaconesses, the same that are pushing for womynpriests. And I know too many of the types of women who will be looking to step into the deaconess role: Former Sister They Won't Let Me Preach, Ms. Men's Haircut, and Miss/Mrs. You Can't Argue With Me — I Went to a Jesuit University.
12 May 2016 at 1:40 PM
There are no boundaries here. Expect everything.
The current situation is now far beyond major crisis. Our willingness to consign it any other diagnosis bespeaks our unwillingness to confront it for what it is. There is a deranged and mendacious agenda being wheeled out proudly. Appeals to obedience and respect are enabling nothing less than heresy. The papacy has been hijacked by those who would see the Church of Jesus Christ eviscerated. Deconstructed. Rendered impotent to proclaim the Gospel. If I am incorrect, perhaps it is only a geriatric meltdown.
To the dissidents, this announcement means that EVERYTHING is on the table.

Call my faith weak if you will, but if this Pope opens this Pandoras box.. Im out. I think i probably wont be alone in this. I will either end up at the Ethiopian Tewahedo Church. Or i will answer some obscure voice out of my familys past and join the society of Friends (quakers) I once heard Fr Benedict Groeschel say if he were not a Catholic that is the only group he would consider.. To sit in complete silence and listen for the voice of God. Sounds tempting compared to this cacophony of conflicting and confused voices coming from the top ranks of our clergy.. I ask you all to please pray for me. "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 1 Corinthians 14:33 -KJV
12 May 2016 at 2:31 PM
Glennonite and comedyeye yes that is right. E.g. have you seen the baptism scene in 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding?' Mutatis mutandis and you will see the logic!
12 May 2016 at 2:41 PM
As far as I am aware, having read the texts of some local Councils of Antiquity on the subject as well as the more general Ancient canons given by the See of Rome, the only real differences between a Deaconess and a nun or other consecrated virgin or widow attached to the service of a Parish are that :
1) the Deaconesses were ordinary ministers of teaching
2) they could act as ordinary witnesses of Holy Matrimony and could even conduct its celebration (outside the Mass)
3) they were ordinary ministers of Baptism to the exact same degree as Deacons are
OTOH they took no part whatsoever in the Sacrifice of the Mass, except peripherally perhaps in the Choir and whatnot.
Objectively, I think it's a question that the Church has been thinking about since Vatican II, but I would expect this matter to take the "normal" amount of time to resolve ; which is about 150-200 years, so perhaps the Church may decree something new on the matter in the 22nd Century ?
I've met only one nun who did everything the Deaconesses of old did, except the three above-mentioned ministries that belonged to the Deaconesses ; she would be a fantastic Deaconess, if it were still possible, but even so, in practice there is exactly no need at all for her to provide any of them in any real terms.
There could arguably be an emerging need for Deaconesses in those Middle Eastern and African countries that seek to impose drastic enforcement of laws preventing the society of women with men outside of their family ; given that one traditional role that the Deaconesses played was precisely to provide those Ministries to women in those situations.
Bottom line — the Deaconesses were not (nor are they in the Eastern Church, where they were recently re-instituted) "women deacons" as in the Anglican "church".
Is one mess at a time too much to ask for?
Glennonite, yes, and they were also charged with care of the poor, especially widows, in a time and place when it was improper for men to visit women in private.
12 May 2016 at 3:12 PM
I would never, ever believe in a woman who was claimed to have any degree of the Sacrament of Holy Orders.
I am DELIGHTED that someone here mentions that Francis gave a clear NO about women homilists, and cited a theological reason rather than just "Church law says so" (he himself regards Church laws as often flexible). Seems like many who want "women deacons" want that mainly because they want women to give homilies at Mass. The Dominican sisters here in Bishop Morlino's diocese have done that anyway for years even though they know it is against Church law.
Pope Francis has commented on repeated occasions to the effect that clericalizing women is not the answer. I really don't see him as being attracted to the idea of women clerics or as thinking it is probable.
Cardinal Muller's views on women decacons are well known. He doesn't believe the deaconesses were sacramental, or that the Church has any authority to sacramentally ordain women deacons. I'm sure that Cardinal Muller would be happy to spearhead a commission to clarify this point.
12 May 2016 at 3:14 PM
I read someone make the point earlier that this has kind of taken the focus away from amoris laetitia.
12 May 2016 at 3:18 PM
Its not *entirely* true to say that it would confer no new abilities on women. The big one would be the capacity to preach at Mass, which is a privilege long desired by a great many people of both sexes.
12 May 2016 at 3:22 PM
danielinnola. No, no, please don't have a moment's worry about this. The pope cannot change Catholic doctrine…he may change Catholic practice, and as we have seen with the benefit of hindsight, the outcome is not always felicitous: even a saint like Pius V could be said to have put his foot in it occasionally.
12 May 2016 at 3:43 PM
Geoffrey, your link is very informative, thank you.
This in particular : "In the Middle Ages, the nursing and teaching religious orders of nuns fulfilled in practise the functions of diakonia without, however, being ordained for this ministry. The title, with no corresponding ministry, was given to women who were instituted as widows or abbesses. Right up until the thirteenth century, abbesses were sometimes called deaconesses. … has helped me to understand some odd 13th-15th Century references to "deaconesses" that appeared to contradict the disappearance of the order centuries earlier. It's bothered me for years !!! :-)
12 May 2016 at 3:50 PM
If you are opposed to female deacons, you should probably not be overly concerned. Despite his reputation for surprises, Pope Francis is quite predictable where he shows his hand about where he stands on an issue, and this is one of them. He has consistently stated that he is against "clericalism", including the temptation in some quarters to "clericalize" women. In fact, he raised that concern in response to this suggestion today. This concern has previously led him to reject the idea of creating women cardinals. If you need further assurance, just read what feminists think about Francis' various statements about women's role in the Church, and it will soon become glaringly clear that the risk of Francis upsetting the apple cart in this respect is pretty darn low. In fact, I suspect that his "openness" and listening posture today was a bit of window dressing to prevent a mutiny from the leftward flank.
12 May 2016 at 3:51 PM
Mharden: thank you for the benefit of your research.
And so shouldn't someone make Pope Francis aware the question was already addressed and resolved?
Or is this another instance of Modernists wanting at all costs to destroy the Church brick by brick, leaving nothing unturned until the Church is no longer recognizable as Catholic.
We will wake up and find we have all become Protestants one tenet at a time.
Even though the question was previously addressed and resolved, the Modernists – as we have come to see – will not rest and will come back again and again to get what they want, just as they did with Amoris Laetitia.
12 May 2016 at 3:56 PM
How about one of these women asking the Holy Father to establish a commission to study the re-establishment of the Order of Widows?
[Do I hear an "Amen!"? Something both possible and good!]
12 May 2016 at 4:11 PM
Easy peasy lemon squeezy. You set it up so questions from dissidents are asked in a public forum.
Then, you act as if, hmm, such an interesting question, no one has asked that before, how bright you are for asking it! You know, we really should study the effect of moonbeams on prayer, perhaps there is a connection, and we should study it, yes, definitely, we will set up a commission to study it!
Then you hand pick people whose feelings on moonbeams and prayer are already established, so you know what conclusions they are going to reach in advance, thereby allowing you to publicly conclude you have heard from the Moonbeam Commission, and results are conclusive. Of course, they knew it and you knew it, so the findings are no surprise to anyone.
12 May 2016 at 8:08 PM
You are correct, Grampa.
12 May 2016 at 8:35 PM
Just read this email from a Diocesan Priest sent to another Catholic blog; apparently it's infallibly defined – so how can there be a Commission to discuss it?
"Pope Francis is spoiling for a crisis in the Church and a papacy of unprecedented proportion if he tries to countermand Pope St. John Paul's infallible pronouncement on women and the sacrament of Holy Orders, Ordinatio Sacerdotalis. Heaven help us as the Pope stands on the precipice of formal heresy."�
Another Francis-inspired crisis in the making….
It appears he feels is his prerogative to put anything up for grabs as Pope.
I highly doubt he'll open a commission to reopen the minor orders anytime soon…

12 May 2016 at 10:10 PM
A wise priest once told me it's best not to practice brinkmanship…seeing how far you can get to the edge without falling off. This appears to be what the Holy Father engages in. How much of a platform can he give heretics without crossing the line?
I find myself repeating often to myself these days that the Lord promised us that the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church.
I once looked with some focus and detail into the (as it turned out) rather obscure and arcane question of whether the Deaconesses of old were "ordained" or merely "instituted".
At first glance, the arguments in each direction seemed equally balanced.
Nevertheless, I eventually came to the same conclusion as the CDF did in its more general study of the History of the Diaconate in general — that they were ordained [Ummm.]; but three major caveats also emerged from my study.
1) First, the Church's understanding of the word "ordain" has actually changed significantly during the 1000 years since the Order of Deaconesses ceased to exist. 1000 years ago, it was used to refer to ANY act attaching a person to an Order, including the completely non-clerical ones — so that one could be "ordained" into a Lay Order even !!! This has been clarified multiple times in the following centuries, but it remains the greatest source of confusion in the question of whether the Deaconesses were ordained or not.
2) The Order of Deaconesses was nevertheless an ancient equivalent of the old "minor Orders", where "ordination" rather than "institution" provided entry into the Order — except that the minor Orders were abolished, generating even more confusion to our own contemporary POV regarding the Deaconesses in particular, given that they were never technically a minor Order — the notion of minor Orders did not exist 1000 years ago [Huh?] — although had the Order survived, it's most likely they would have been.
3) Probably most importantly though, the form of the Ordination of the Deaconesses was different to the form of Ordination of the Deacons ; the Deaconesses constituted a non-priestly Order, even though they were considered as "clerics" (the ancient canons are actually very clear on this one particular point, surprising as that may seem from a 21st century POV), whereas the Deacons are a priestly Order, even though they are not priests. The Deacons are ordained for a Service to the Altar and to the Faithful, whereas the Deaconesses were ordained for a Service to the Faithful only. Both forms of the Diaconal Service were however defined as "clerical". Technically there was however only one Order of the Diaconate, to which both the Deacons and Deaconesses belonged [I think that's wrong.] — possibly for mainly practical reasons, because the Deaconesses only ever existed in extremely small numbers (which is of course precisely why historical sources concerning them exist in such minute quantity) — but the Order was constituted of two separate branches, Deacons and Deaconesses, whereby the two branches held certain things in common, but were still understood as being separate.
So I agree, with the CDF's earlier historical study, that the Deaconesses were ordained, not only because as that document shows they received the laying on of hands which has since those times been clarified as a distinctive feature of ordination versus institution (they were also anointed, which the CDF document does not mention), [laying on of hands has not, does not, in all cases indicate ordination] but also because my own studies showed that the Deacons and Deaconesses were in one single Order of the Diaconate, albeit in two rather diverse Forms and in two partially diverse, partially shared Ministries. [I don't think that's right.] The Deaconesses exercised their own Ministry for their Bishop, perhaps attached to a Parish, or towards a Community of Nuns ; and as needs repeating probably systematically for the avoidance of any doubt or confusion, NOT towards the Altar.
13 May 2016 at 7:42 AM
Huh — St Francis of Assisi was a Deacon.
I suppose this does entail some sort of spiritual dimension to the Pope's actions here, given his particular veneration and admiration for that Saint.
Pingback: Pope Francis Opens Conversation on Deaconesses – Big Pulpit
Father Z, I don't think that I have a complete understanding of this particularly arcane question, especially given that the Ancient sources are at least partly contradictory. Your hesitations mirror my own.
I can only present my understanding of the sources as I read and analysed them. There are no dogmatic declarations from the Magisterium regarding these difficulties, so that a multiplicity of analyses can exist simultaneously within the Catholicity. Which is itself an anomaly given the ancientness of the basic questions.
I think the one formal error of the CDF document on the Diaconate is to have attempted to present certain questions relating to the Diaconesses as "settled", when they haven't been — their particular Ministry simply faded from practice, but was never formally destituted.
Clearly the difference in our understanding of Ordination as it existed in the 11th Century and as it exists in the 21st (differences in understanding, I mean, not in the Sacramental Nature as such) are very confusing, in our considerations of a particular Ministry that has not existed for a thousand years, so that I think that only a Pope or an Ecumenical Council could actually provide any fully Authoritative instruction regarding any related difficulties.

How to put the J/JA NINE magazine release back together.
by Admin » Fri May 11, 2012 9:00 pm
Sticky provided by our very own Farmkid.
If someone knows a better/easier/more official way, please post it; but here's what works for me:
Note: do all of this over a box or other container, because you WILL drop the mag button spring before you're done, and it's very small.
1) Remove both grips and the safety and safety spring on the left side.
2) Hold the frame with the barrel pointing down, and the left side toward you.
3) Lay the mag release spring in place. You'll probably need a pair of long, thin tweezers for this. (There's reason that the cheapo Made-In-China tool people at gun shows sell these. Buy some in straight and bent.)
Bonus suggestion by jeffchance: a slight dab of grease on the spring can stick it in place.
4) Carefully insert the mag release button, making sure to not knock the spring out of place. To do this, point it up over the spring on the way in, and then let it come down on the spring when the button has reached the inside of the right side of the frame.
5) Touching the right end of the button through the hole in the right side, work it down until it can pass through the hole. Hold the button in the down position of the left side: the button and spring are now in the correct position.
6) Reinstall the safety and safety spring now with one hand while keeping the button depressed with the other. Carefully position the left grip, sliding it in over the button, and screw it down. The button is not going anywhere at this point.
7) Complete any assembly on the right side and replace the right grip.
I hope that this is clear, but feel free to ask about anything that's not. Good luck!

Im still lost between steps 2-3...where exactly does the spring go?
by adam01364 » Sun May 03, 2015 5:31 am
The mag release spring sits on a "shelf" inside the mag well. Dead center of this picture shows where it's located.
Putting the spring in place can be a challenge. I guide mine into place with the plastic tube from a can of WD-40. (Steel probes that can become magnetized are not at all helpful. Don't ask me how I know.) Once you get the mag release into position, carefully insert a mag in, it will hold all things in place until you can reinstall the grips. | http://www.bryco-jennings-jimenezarms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61 | 2018/05/23 16:20:40 | mC4 |

Seychelles Is Among Five Nations Bidding To Host The 2023 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup
by welkin... January 8, 2022, 11:33 pm
The chairman of the Seychelles Football Federation, Elvis Chetty, told SNA that "we are very serious in this bid and that is why we have also recruited a top professional in the tournaments bidding field, a man who worked with South Africa's successful 2010 FIFA world cup bid."
The bidding process opened in October and will conclude with the selection of the host in March 2022. Seychelles is bidding along with Colombia, Bahrain, Thailand and UAE.
If Seychelles is successful, the island nation will be seen as one of the premier beach soccer destinations. Seychelles, an archipelago in the western Indian Ocean, hosted the Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) beach soccer tournament in 2015.
"We are confident that we will be successful in our bid to host the World Cup and if we do get it, it will be huge for Seychelles. We will have international recognition and be in the sporting limelight," added Chetty.
Earlier this week, the government pledged to support the Federation's bid to host the tournament which is expected to bring more visibility to the island nation with the worldwide coverage of such event.
The Chairman told SNA that with a successful bid new infrastructure will be needed and a demountable stadium will be built and after the games, it will be sent to La Digue and Praslin, to help develop the sport on those islands.
For Seychelles, their last international tournament was earlier this year, when the team travelled to South Africa for the COSAFA Beach Soccer tournament. Seychelles' side did not win any matches.
The 2023 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup will be the 12th edition. It is the premier international beach soccer championship contested by men's national teams of the member associations of FIFA. | https://www1.naijaforbe.com/seychelles-is-among-five-nations-bidding-to-host-the-2023-fifa-beach-soccer-world-cup/ | 2022/01/22 14:23:58 | mC4 |
0 | example_43328 | Hi Geektimes! Today we continue our PC Buyers Guide cycle and talk about the piece of hardware without which no computer will work at all. About the power supply. Questions about power supplies are asked a lot and regularly. Of course, the most common question is how to choose the right PSU and how powerful a “feeder” is needed for a certain set of iron. But in addition to calculating the required capacity, there are several more interesting topics that I would like to highlight today: what is 80+ certification, which marketing “enhancers” should be ignored, and which ones to consider, and, of course, which manufacturer to choose.
In order to better understand some aspects of power supply and generally more or less understand why the choice of power supply is more important than at first glance seem to many users (especially those who have not lost the hardware because of the filthy feeder), it is worth considering the general principles of this thing. | http://www.oltjp.com/shaun-white-bbq.html | 2021-03-01T12:38:16Z | OSCAR-2109 |

I love your objective. To get others to see from their own minds how beautiful their worlds can truly be if they just tried to make it so.
Thank you, so much for sharing that! I love that you have such a vivid imagination! I also hope to read more writing of yours!
The rainbow creatures are out today from a wonderful place beyond the golden pathway. They’re making their way across the mysterious woodlands. While walking on the pathway, these rainbow creatures could smell the sweetly scented air coming from someplace.
All of a sudden,“Geego”,the frog, wearing big-rimmed glasses, hears in the distance running water sounds. Do you think maybe this is the enchanted place we’re looking for that has a magic waterfall in it? Geego could see off in the horizon a beautiful rainbow falls. Just ahead, right where this fresh smelling spring fed waterfall was created, low and behold there were thousands of scattered wild flowers. These blossoming colored flowers were so magnificent that your mind could only imagine. Just think how quiet and peaceful this wonderland feels to you being surrounded by all gods’ natural beauty. Let’s lie back in these flowers and gaze out at the blue-crystallized lake that also appeared at the bottom of the waterfalls. So smooth this lake shimmered that you could skate across it at anytime. Would you like to listen to something wonderful? In Geegos magic rainbow jacket, which he took off and put it by the tree next to the glistening lake, was a tape. All the rainbow creatures decided to take a little snooze here under the magic rainbow tree, as the (Breaking the Mist) tape was playing relaxing music. Keep imagining that special place that you can go to for it will give you that love and warmth and feeling of happiness. That place where you can rejuvenate your body, mind and soul.
Come let us ride, just travel, to a far off land, on a rainbowland carpet! Drifting into another world, someone heard, “Who said that carpet comes into my special place?”
It was princess Nok-a-Nok, who spoke. She said that that ratty carpet needed some more colour to its threads. To everyone’s surprise, the princess sprinkled her gold dust in the air…Can you imagine what happened next? Maybe something would appear out of nowhere, or out pops an animal. Well to our surprise, the rainbow gold dust turned that ratty carpet into a shiny new rainbow rug! While all this synergy was glowing about, peeking around the rainbow tree was an itsy-bitsy worm. “What’s the matter little worm?” asked the princess. The sad looking worm had a surprised look on his face as to think that someone was actually talking to him. The princess asked the worm if his name was as colourful as all the other things in this place. “NO!” the worm replied. I have a name that everyone calls me at home and it’s “Sneaky”. I’m a tiny slithering creature who likes to wander in the tall green grass once in a while, ever so minding my own business like others do. Geego says that princess Nok-a-Nok will help you feel better all over and then you will be happy today, OK Sneaky? Sneaky liked this idea and slithered up the nearest tree, looking for a tasty juicy heart-icicle to eat. At that moment, a burst of “Yaa-Hooo!” was heard for miles around. Well I guess you know what happened then.
Let your creature mind flow and think of where you might travel next. I’ll leave you here at this moment in time and give you a tip to ponder upon. This day was so unbelievable and fantastic that I hope you and your friends will dream of lovely magical thoughts…(Maybe rainbow balloons are waiting for you on the next travel?) Anything that makes you happy and warm all over inside is something really precious to hold onto.
Don’t forget that Rainbow Children can be what you want in life. All you have to do is relax and think of that safe place to visit from time to time when life brings your down.
Awe...thank you for the vote of confidence...I will try it out and see where it goes....Right now it's buried but will try to work on it soon as I am still feeling crappy!....:( Glad to know that you are a visual person too....It's great to know others so you can make some kind of a connection to keep one's spirit inspired and motivated...:)
If you'd like to share that story with us all that would be wonderful. I'm sure we'd all enjoy it! By visual do you mean we'd all have to have a pretty big imagination to understand it and see it through your eyes? I'm sure I could do it! I'm a very visual person.. lol!
I have a story put away in my binder somewhere but it's a long one and I think that my English teacher from Canadore College here in parry Sound said that it's a more visual story. If you want me to post it i can. But am going to get to bed and get some zzzz's to deal with this nasty cold. Thank god i see the doctor tomorrow and i hope he will give me something to get this cold to clear up...Nite and pleasant dreams for everyone tonight....:)
Unfortunetly I'm not that much of a story writer so I don't have any stories for you. I mean I could write a story but I'm more of a poet so... this is for all of those story writers out there! Anybody who would like to share their stories, please do so here! | OSCAR-2019 |

How to Upgrade Your WordPress Site
Posted on June 25, 2010 by J. Mays | Updated: July 20, 2021
Category: Technical Support | Tags: Tutorial, WordPress
WordPress 3.0 was released this week, and just like with any new release there are a lot of questions about upgrading existing WordPress sites. In this tutorial we will demonstrate how to upgrade WordPress using the built-in upgrading tools.
You should ALWAYS make a backup of your website before making any large changes, especially when changing software versions. You can make a backup through cPanel. The most important part of your backup will likely be your database where all of your posts and post data are stored.
WordPress releases regular updates to improve the software, fix bugs, and improve security. Thankfully WordPress is one of the easiest systems to upgrade.
Log in to your WordPress administration interface. If there is an update available you will see the following banner notification near the top of the page, as pictured below:
WordPress "Upgrade Now"
Click on the Please update now link and you will be taken to the internal Upgrade WordPress page, pictured below:
Note: If you see a page that asks you for FTP information to perform the update, then your server is running the software in a way that WordPress needs FTP access to complete the upgrade. If your server is using cPanel you will need to use the same user and password details that you used to log in to your domain level cPanel interface. If you have any questions regarding WordPress upgrades via FTP please contact our support department or review the documentation at the WordPress Codex.
If you are not asked for FTP information then click on the Upgrade Automatically button:
Click the upgrade!
If everything goes well you will see several messages as WordPress downloads the update, unpacks it on the server, and then activates it. A final WordPress upgraded successfully message (pictured below) indicates that the upgrade is complete.
WordPress Upgrade Successful
Congratulations! You have now safely upgraded your WordPress site. Open a few pages on your site and make sure you do not see any errors. If you do see any issues, give us a call or open a ticket, and we will get this addressed for you. If we can't get it fixed quickly we can help restore the backup you made before you started the upgrade and then help you through the process one step at a time. | https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/how-to-upgrade-your-wordpress-site/ | 2022/01/20 06:12:23 | mC4 |
0 | example_53620 | The Journey of a Geek: What I Learned From My Mother
In honor of Mother's Day, it's my duty as an honorable American boy to say just how fantastic my mother really is. When I was young and needed emotianl support, who was there for me? Mom. With warm little nothings that could put even the most excessively hyper beast back into its pen. Every time I think about her singing "You Are My Sunshine", my heart literally melts. No matter how hard I was crying or how upset I was, hearing her sing that melody always calmed me down. Through the best of times, through the worst of times.
I really can't help but admire her spirit. She may be a bit on the paranoid side, but she also has an amazing sparking energy that never ceases to let up. Even when she's depressed, even when she's pissed, the energy never goes away. It's like an honest life force shining through everything. The situation around me may be completely black with no end in sight, but when my mother is around she's like my light of hope. Everything brightens up, and I'm finally able to see my path once again.
I'm not saying that my mother is perfect by any stretch, she is a human being afterall. She is, however, the one who conceived and raised me from an infant into the man I've become today. Just for that alone, I am forever thankful, and forever loving. :) Love you, mom!

0 | example_2821 | Hello! I hope you all had a great weekend! Last week I posted 5 habits for Massive Impact if you missed that post click here. To recap, the 5 habits for Massive Impact are as follows:
Today, we are going to talk about the importance of drinking water. Staying hydrated is one of the BEST ways you can take care of your body, as water is essential to maintain the function of every cell in your body. Proper hydration increases your energy levels, promotes weight loss, flushes toxins, improves skin quality and digestion, as well as relieving joint pain and even headaches!
Our recommendation is for you to drink half your body weight in fluid ounces of water daily. Here is a resource to help you with that calculation:
Drinking half your body weight in fluid ounces can be a challenge so here are a few healthful ways to help you drink more water:
Flavor it up – add lemon, cucumber, orange, grapefruit slices, mint, or berries to a pitcher of water and let it marinate in your refrigerator for a few hours. You can also add a drop of a therapeutic grade citrus flavored essential oil.
Start your day with a large glass of water – wake up and guzzle – this will get you off to a great start
Set reminders – set alarms on your phone to remind you to drink your water throughout the day or try apps on your phone like Waterlogged.
Track it – set your daily goal and track it throughout the day. Try putting a rubber band around your water bottle and make a mark each time you finish the bottle.
Commit to drinking half your body weight in water or even just increasing your water intake for one week. You will be amazed at how much better you feel, how your energy levels have increased, and you will be very impressed with your clear state of mind. Need help tracking your water intake and staying on point with your goals? Visit www.wilcoxwellnessfitness.com/habitstracker to sign up to receive more support from us. We will send you information via email to help support your habits for massive impact including a printable habits tracker that you can use to measure your progress within the next 21 days.
An online dating service is a company that provides specific mechanisms (generally websites or applications) for online dating through the use of Internet-connected personal computers or mobile devices.The 2016 Pew Research Center's survey reveals that the usage of online dating sites by American adults increased from 9% in 2013, to 12% in 2015.Further, during this period, the usage among 18- to 24-year-olds tripled, while that among 55- to 65-year-olds doubled.Profiles created by real humans also have the potential to be problematic.For example, online dating sites may expose more female members in particular to stalking, fraud, and sexual violence by online predators.
Apart from the parents of the bride, the only other high profile guests seen in Rhinebeck were Bill Clinton’s former secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen and fashion designer Vera Wang. | OSCAR-2019 |

Job Description –Senior Trusts and Grants Manager
Location: Hybrid / Office Based
FareShare exists because of two hugely important and highly topical issues.
As a consequence of supply and demand, huge volumes of food are grown or made in the UK and a percentage ends up as unwanted surplus with little commercial value.
At the same time, there are many thousands of frontline community groups and charities that are providing a vital safety net for the most vulnerable in our society. We seek to squeeze as much social good out of that uneconomic surplus by getting it to almost 10,000 such groups across the UK whilst they provide essential wraparound support services for their beneficiaries.
The Cost of Living Crisis and before it, the COVID-19 have shone a spotlight on the issue of food insecurity in the UK and with it, FareShare's ability to get food to vulnerable communities nationwide.
It is estimated that over 4.7m UK households are now experiencing food insecurity and whilst the equivalent of 1.3bn meals of good surplus food occurs each year, FareShare believes that it is wrong for these two situations to co-exist.
To combat this, FareShare is moving into an ambitious 4 year programme to achieve
unparalleled growth in both our food volumes as well as our
fundraised income. We are driven by the opportunity to secure even more of the food available at farm gate, manufacturing and retail levels and to do this, we
need to maximise our new groundswell of public support to generate the funds needed to operate at this greater scale. There has never been a more
exciting time to join a relevant organisation which delivers both social and environmental impact, at such a crucial time.
By joining us you would be leading some of our most important work in helping us generate more support from Donors, Corporate Food and Fundraising Partners, Foundations and Volunteers as we strive in our ambition to meet the demand for food
to support the UK's most vulnerable.

0 | example_53517 | CNN Poll: Majority say invoke War Powers Act – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs
"That's a common reaction from the American public," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Although Congress as an institution is held in fairly low regard, over the past two decades Americans have typically told pollsters that Congress should be the branch of government to make these kinds of decisions - from Iraq to Haiti to Kosovo to Somalia, and regardless of the president's party."
But support for Congress having the final say on Libya doesn't mean the public opposes Obama's policy. Fifty-four percent support limited use of military force by the United States in Libya as part of a NATO mission to enforce U.N. resolutions. That's the wording of a resolution now making its way through Congress.
Turning to the situation in the Middle East, the survey indicates that two-thirds of Americans say their sympathies are more with the Israelis than the Palestinians. But two-thirds also say that the U.S. should not take either side in that conflict; about a third want the U.S. to take the Israelis' side. Two-thirds also have a favorable view of Israel; with 44 percent viewing Israel as an ally of the U.S. and another 38 percent saying that Israel is friendly toward the U.S. but not an ally.
According to the poll, half of the public says that Iran and North Korea are enemies of the U.S. Only 11 percent feel that China is an enemy while more than six in ten believe that China is an ally or is friendly toward the U.S.
"The 'special relationship' between the U.S. and Great Britain remains strong, no doubt bolstered by a series of speeches and state dinners while Obama was in London last week," adds Holland. "Nearly nine in ten Americans have a favorable view of Britain, with two-thirds saying Britain is an ally of the U.S. and virtually all the rest say that Britain is a friendly country."
For crying out loud, read 'em together: the majority want Congress to get on the ball, provide the authorization under the War Powers Act and allow Obama to continue our limited involvement in Libya based on his policy. The GOP doesn't care...they'd rather try to find a way to turn it to political advantage than do anything without first considering how their party might profit from it, even if it requires making a complete mess...after all, they'll just opint fingers at Obama and the Dems and their mindless base will go along with it.
Obama over stepped his bounds on this one. The response was far and above what was deserved. Libya is in shambles now all thanks to BO. Yet he has still done nothing to help people in Africa that truely needed recue. This man is such a liar and needs to go I can't wait to see him try to pull this stick on Israel and watch what happens when the Military refuses to back him up..
Sadly, the weasels on both sides of the isle care more about political posturing than taking actions to benefit America. For this reason they can never really be trusted to make solid decisions, especially those decisions requiring political risks. The Senate is nothing more than a forum for the Republicans to obstruct every action, even those they support. The House is a childish group of radicals incapable of any meaningful compromise, choosing instead to offer a series of political statements of no real value to Americans. Why trust the Congress? Look at their record of no accomplishments!
People can think what they want, but that's not what the constitution says. There's a process for changing the constitution, if the people's representatives choose to try it.
Obama played Libya correctly. Obama/Biden 2012
Obama has managed to over step his authority on many other issues also.
He's clearly abusing the presidency on many levels.
I don't think that anyone is disputing that Congress should have the final say, but they shouldn't be playing politics with it either. Authorize it and lets get on with it.
May 31, 2011 02:03 pm at 2:03 pm |
Who cares? Obama is doing the Libya operation at bargin basement costs and with a ton of help from our NATO allies.
We don't even have one boot on the ground so it is a moot point.
news flash..how about this poll...most americans say get your troops home now... were tired of wasted lives and money for people who dont care one bit for us...
So where were all these people when Bush dragged us into unending wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?
The problem with the War Powers Act is that has turned into a political football to handcuff the party in the White House by denying the Commander-In-Chief the flexibility to act in the nation's best interests. Rarely do the interests of one political party or the other coincide with the nation's best interests. | https://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/05/31/cnn-poll-majority-say-invoke-war-powers-act/ | 2022/07/02 09:38:11 | mC4 |
1 | example_83501 | I took the latter half of 2017 off from blogging. Not because I didn’t want to write- quite the opposite. It’s that I couldn’t figure out how to communicate what I wanted to say through the persona that I’ve created for myself. I’ve felt fundamentally stuck.
And I don’t think I’m alone nor that it’s just a function of social media. The 2016 election and 2017 fall out has ruptured the pseudo-belief that we could (and should) have a separation between our work selves and “personal” [read: political] selves . (Others went further and said that there IS no separation- most notably the google-glassholes and brogrammers.)
We created empty personas for ourselves- using motivational quotes and stories as substitutes for actual authenticity. The rise of livestreaming led to an additional level of pseudo-transparency. “Look”, the self-proclaimed motivational speaker states, “This is what my day-to-day live looks like. If I can do it, so can you!” And yes they get followers and build up fan bases- because that’s what we do as humans- we look for opportunities to connect particularly with charismatic individuals.
So this new breed of thought-leader/motivational speaker began to write books and get speaking gigs, all coining their various branded hashtags and “communities”. And we let them do it- in fact we supported them.
But we couldn’t talk about it. Just like we couldn’t talk about the fact that “diversity panels” tended to be led by men or the fact that a celebration of women in leadership turned into a carefully cordoned off “women’s lunch”- where men feared to tread.
The BIG no-no was calling out the lack of diversity in speaker line-ups and influencer lists. “Women just aren’t interested” was the line. Heaven-forbid there be any type of systematic bias.
I could go on and on but I won’t- there are already some excellent articles documenting the barriers women and minorities face in the “thought leadership field”.
My point is that these are the issues I didn’t know how to raise on social and my blog. Like women in other industries have written, I too worried that I’d be labeled as “difficult to work with” which could be a death knell to advancement in our very relationship-based industry. | https://www.hullcitytigers.com/teams/first-team/defender/joshua-emmanuel/ | 2021-02-26T19:05:43Z | OSCAR-2109 |
