Mary in the News: Nov. 22, 2017
By Michael Duricy
Read recent items about Mary in both Catholic and secular news. Also see International Marian Research Institute news and updates.
Marian Library/International Marian Research Institute Features
As Roesch Library begins a multi-year renovation, the At the Manger: World Nativity Traditions exhibit will take place on a smaller scale. The Grand Open House will not be held this year.
However, there is still a wonderful and robust exhibit of Nativities from Eastern Europe and Africa in the Marian Library. They are a must see! Also, many of our Nativities are on display at Mount St. John and Bergamo. And, special for 2017, we are opening our workshop to the public for a behind-the-scenes peek!
See all of the details, including hours and parking, by visiting go.udayton.edu/manger
Mary in Media: Books, Films, Music, etc.
New Animated Film on the First Christmas
The Star is a wonderful, hilarious, deeply reverential animated family movie centered on the birth of Jesus, but from the perspective of a lowly donkey named Bo. Bo and his best friend, Dave the dove, have dreams of joining the royal parade. When Bo escapes his owner's clutches, he finds himself accompanying a pregnant Mary and her husband, Joseph, on their way to Bethlehem. Bo may be a part of a bigger adventure than he expected. However, the evil King Herod has his top soldier looking for the pregnant Mary.
The Star is tremendous fun, with wonderful lessons along the way. A touching story from a unique perspective, The Star sets itself apart from many of the other nativity movies. Obviously, the movie condenses and shifts a few incidents found in the Bible, but never sacrifices a very strong biblical Christian theology. However, the movie deftly balances the goofy fun of the animals with a deeply redemptive reverence for God and the birth of Jesus Christ. Overall, The Star is almost void of objectionable content. It's a must-see Christmas movie for everyone.

From the Marian Treasure Chest
Catechesis by Rosary by Brother John Samaha, S.M.
At Fatima, as at Lourdes before, Our Lady asked the children to pray the rosary, then she prayed the rosary with the seers and taught them how to do so devoutly.
Consider the rosary as a catechetical tool. This thought arises from many bishops and lay catechists and all the religious and lay educator groups in between.
Religious educators and parents often comment that many today--youth and adults--are lacking in Christian formation. A certain religious illiteracy has infiltrated the family, school, and society in general. Children, especially, lack a strong basic understanding of fundamentals of our faith and of how to pray. The challenge is clear for catechists at all age levels. In addition, we must remember that faith and virtue are caught more than taught. We must model what we teach. We must echo Christ; resound faith, hope, and charity by walking the talk.
Catechists and parents often seek new methods, programs, and books of religious instruction, and we are at a loss for knowing any. But one sure-fired and time-tested method is centuries old, tried and true, and easy to handle--the rosary.
If youngsters and adults learn the rosary, they are learning the basics of the Christian faith as well as learning how to pray. They would know from memory the Apostles' Creed, the Our Father, the Hail Mary, and the Glory Be--the latter three lifted literally from the Gospel. By praying the rosary they would be reviewing the fundamental truths handed on by Jesus and practicing the art of praying. By teaching the rosary we help others to learn that prayer is simple, Biblical, done in union with our Mother Mary, and leads us to become absorbed in the mysteries of the life of Christ and of salvation history.
To know how to pray the twenty mysteries of the rosary means that we know the basics about the life of Jesus and His teachings--His life, passion, death, resurrection, and ascension; the meaning of Jesus' Incarnation and Redemption. This challenges us to ponder what these mysteries mean for us today. In reality, the rosary is a compendium of the Gospel. It is the Gospel strung on beads.
The rosary is not a panacea. It does not solve all the challenges of catechesis and faith formation. But it is one effective catechetical tool for teaching and praying. In the past, noted saints and teachers have utilized it successfully. It worked for St. Dominic and his companions in combating the Albigensian heresy in his day.
Let's try again.

Mary in the Catholic Press
Christmas Concert Returns to the Vatican (Zenit website) November 21, 2017
The 2017 Christmas Concert will be held again in the Vatican this year on December 16. The funds collected will be allocated to educational projects for young people and children: one of the Don Bosco Foundation in the World and another of the organization of pontifical right, Scholas Occurrentes.
In the presentation event, held on Monday, November 20, in the Marconi Room of Vatican Radio, Jose Maria del Corral, President of Scholas Occurrents, announced that in the first semester of 2018, the first meeting will be held in the Vatican of young people victims of bullying and cyber-bullying, and an Observatory will be established against bullying.
The Congregation for Catholic Education is sponsoring the initiative. Its Secretary, Archbishop Angelo Vincenzo Zani, pointed out: "Our dicastery is concerned with education and, usually, doesn't sponsor cultural events. However, to have a secure peace, it's necessary to invest in education," to generate a "culture of hospitality and fraternity...."
Mary in the Secular Press
The director and editors of All About Mary under the auspices of the International Marian Research Institute do not necessarily endorse or agree with the events and ideas expressed in this feature. Our sole purpose is to report on items about Mary gleaned from a myriad of papers representing the secular press.
The Transformation of the Virgin Mary: How a Jewish Girl From Nazareth Became a Christian Icon (huffingtonpost.com) November 12, 2017
The four Gospels--Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John--provide skimpy biographies of Jesus, with huge time gaps. We meet Jesus in brief citations as a newborn, a six-year-old in Egypt about to return to Nazareth, a twelve-year-old at the Temple in Jerusalem, and at age thirty, when His spiritual mission begins as He is baptized by John the Baptist. Not much fodder for a reliable psychological profile….
The New Testament tells us even less about Jesus' mother, Mary. We first meet teenage Mary when she is visited by the Angel Gabriel and told that she will conceive and bear a child by the power of the Holy Ghost (Luke 1:26-35; Matthew 1:18-25). Despite Mary's pregnancy, Joseph, a Jewish carpenter to whom she is betrothed, accepts her (Matthew 1:24). Next, Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth, who is pregnant in her old age in answer to the prayers of her pious husband, Zacharias, a priest in the Jerusalem Temple (Luke 1:38-40)….
Who was Mary? What was she like in her daily life? What were her beliefs and personal qualities? We can speculate--as many have--but known biblical sources give us little information to go on. We could learn more about a casual acquaintance than we know about Mary by posing the simple request: "tell me something about yourself."
However, one aspect of Mary's life consistently stands out in the Gospels: She is a dedicated practicing Jew....
I wish that art historians, curators, and art critics would follow Pope Francis' lead and finally acknowledge the falsification of biblical history in artworks that denied the Jewish identities of Jesus and Mary.
In excruciatingly detailed commentaries on artworks by professionals in the field the glaring feature of identity theft is almost never noted. Doing so would take nothing away from the magnificence of these works and their contribution to the development and enhancement of art and culture. But it would contribute to a long-overdue participation in the reconciliation of Christianity and Judaism. It would affirm the two sides of the Jesus and Mary story: Jesus and Mary the dedicated Jews and Jesus and Mary whose lives inspired a new religion.

21st Avenue Pedestrian BridgeVanderbilt University
In 1979 Vanderbilt acquired the historic Peabody College. The busy 21st Avenue divided the two campuses and caused a number of safety concerns due to the heightened foot traffic across the busy corridor.
There are three novel features to this project. First, a modified bow truss design was chosen as the main span to act as a signature landmark that identifies the heart of the institutions. The use of brick and cut stone masonry compliment the steel bridge construction that forms a harmony among the varying architectural styles on the campus. Second, the design team was able to incorporate traffic signals, sight lighting, and pedestrian illumination into the actual bridge design. Third, the brick and cast stone piers anchor the main span that defines the structure as a gateway.
The successful structure has been replicated at other busy 21st Avenue crossing locations.Back to work section

Everything Black People Did On 'Raw': Black to Basics
Welp; last night's pay-per-view really showed no mercy to the black superstars on the Raw roster. Get it? I'll stop.
Jason Jordan with the assist
Old ass Matt Hardy teamed up with Black Angle because Jeff's shoulder is jacked up. Black Angle got a good amount of offense, but it was the Matt Hardy show ftw.
Apollo Crews stays losing
Because last night's loss wasn't enough? Interesting to see Titus actually being incorporated with the finish and post-match fuckery. Will he be getting back into the ring is the real question.

How to Download Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, & Vine Videos on Your iPhone
How to Download Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, & Vine Videos on Your iPhone
For most of us, the primary reason we capture videos on our iPhones is to post on one of the various social media platforms out there, like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, or Vine, providing instant gratification by receiving a proverbial nod from our followers.
With so much video content on social media these days, there are a number of occasions where I've wanted to save a video directly to my iPhone—whether it be to simply watch again at my leisure or to re-share with my friends on another platform.
Because it's not always as easy as just tapping and saving directly from within the app, today I'll be showing you how to save videos from your favorite social media sites directly onto your iPhone.
Facebook Videos
There are plenty of apps that claim to download Facebook videos in the iOS App Store, but only Easy Video Downloader makes it simple to do.
To begin, sign in with your Facebook credentials. Now just play a video from your feed, then exit the fullscreen view. When you exit the video, you'll see a download icon above it—hit that.
With the video now saved, head into the app's menu to access the video, then tap the small info icon to save it directly to your Camera Roll album.
Instagram Videos
For Instagram videos (and even photos), we'll be using Grab for Instagram. To use this Instagram client, you'll first have to sign in using your Instagram username and password, then just find the video you want, tap the three-dot icon, then "Download Video." It will automatically be stored to your Camera Roll.
Snapchat Videos
Snapkeep is a Snapchat-saving client that we've previously covered, and it works great.
Although it's free to save pictures and videos, content from Stories will require a $0.99 in-app purchase. And don't worry about people being alerted when you do save their videos; this app keeps your habits inconspicuous. All you need to do is open the video, tap the save icon, then view it in your Camera Roll.
Twitter Videos
Not many people think of Twitter when it comes to video sharing, but it's still out there and can occasionally provide us with some good content. And with the assistance of Video downloader for Twitter, it's easy to save those awesome videos.
Just start by opening the official Twitter app, then tap and hold on a tweet to "Copy link to Tweet."
With the link copied, open Video Downloader for Twitter, paste it in the designated field, tap "Download Now!" and then select "Media" once it's downloaded. Now, select a video to save it directly to your Camera Roll using the Save option.
Vine Videos
Vine is solely used for videos and the source of a lot of toilet entertainment, so it's only suiting that I show you how to save these videos to laugh at later. With the VineRoll app, all you have to do is sign in, find a video you like, then tap the download icon.
When it finishes downloading, select the video to share or save directly to your Camera Roll. The only downside to VineRoll is that it operates on a coin system, which requires one coin for each download. Fortunately, you get two free coins daily and more for a simple app review on the iOS App Store.
Saving Other Types of Videos
If you want to save streaming videos from YouTube, Vimeo, and other video hosting sites, I'd recommend going with iSaveit. You can also download MP3s and other files with it. For more information, check out Nelson's guide to using iSaveit.

This last section for module 6 of our CSSLP Tutorial is about making sure we understand a few certain terms associated with the principles of product acceptance. This is especially as associated with product acceptance by the customer as they go through their secure software testing as well as the pre-release procedures. The first two terms we are going to discuss are verification and validation. The last two terms we will discuss are certification and accreditation. So, verification and validation deals with the more technical aspects.
The technical design of the problem is what verification is dealing with. We want to know does the software meet the developer's description and does it meet the requirements. The functionality of it in that, does it do what it is supposed to do? Most of what we've developed is for the purpose of solving problems. So, one of the other questions we can ask is associated with whether or not the product solves the problem we have. Sometimes, there can be variances between what the customer says they want and what they actually want. So, this is where having good requirements is essential to making sure to verify whether your product is satisfying the customer's requirements or not. Usually validation follows verification. Every so often, however, you may have a product that has its verification but not get validated. In an ideal world, the validation process would follow verification.
Additional to the verification process, we also need to make sure that our security mechanisms are following the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the CIA triad. There are of course, other security elements we have to check for as well like authenticity, authorization, auditing, and others such as proper exception handling and configuration management. This is part of what would be in place for handling validation.
After verification and validation, there is certification and accreditation. Certification is an evaluation of the security features of a product in a given environment. We are looking to see if there enough protection for the particular environment. So, an additional test or evaluation is to check for the protection even if the product is then presented in different environments. Are the requirements satisfied through this series of evaluation criteria. And if so, then the next step is to go through accreditation. The accreditation process is where the management approves and accepts the software or system that the developing team has created.
The process where management approves the software or system that has been formed is accreditation. Once our product has gone through the whole process, then implementation is where it gets rolled out. So, the product has been certified and then the management accepts the risks during the accreditation phase. After that happens, then the product is in its post-acceptance stage. This is where we sort of starting to back off from the project and if the customer wants any other changes, then we'll have to start a whole other separate project. The only other change is if somehow the product doesn't meet the requirements. But, if the customer says that they assumed we were providing the training or manuals, but it wasn't in the original requirements, then it would be a whole other separate project. Pretty much during and then thereafter the post-acceptance phase, is where there are patches or updates according to warranty, but there are no other major changes occurring.
So, this last section of module six dealt with a few definitions of terms we needed to discuss. The four main terms discussed in this last part of this section in order was: verification, validation, certification and accreditation

The light in Spike Jonze's Her shines in just the right spots.
There's a sense of pride in Los Angeles' boundless horizontality, in the same way that New York's disposition echoes from the floodlights of the Empire State Building.
But in Jonze's future, L.A. has become vertical, though when we see the main character Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix) graze across the geometric plane of the city, it's clear that space—and there still is space here—has somehow claimed a different, maybe more abstract, definition. Technology has eclipsed its humans in a way that has left the folks on the ground a bit less intelligent: They bumble around, whisper and make gestures to themselves, directed to no one but themselves. The distance from their natural world is apparent, but why doesn't it seem all that satirical? It's a place where Jonze implies humanity is headed. So why isn't it hilarious to see Twombly stand dejected on a snowy mountain after his operating system, Samantha (Scarlett Johansson), has become more interested in the "artificially hyper-intelligent" OS of Alan Watts (Brian Cox)? It is funny, but it's not where Jonze wants to take us. Instead, he's a bit quixotic about the whole thing.
Really, love has been reduced to fetishes. During a double date with Theodore's colleague Paul, the men are asked what they love most about their other halves. Paul mentions his spouse's feet. Theodore's answer is the opposite, but no less of a fetish. It's Samantha's lack of a body, her ability to be everything and nothing, which has him overwhelmed. This isn't to say that Theodore has evolved beyond physicality, but that he has become incapable of expressing himself through the body. It's why we see only a black screen during Theodore's sex scene with Samantha, and why we quickly gloss over his niece's confusion with Samantha's intangibility. The relationship—however real its reactions may be—creates a void that others have trouble articulating. Their evolution has passed, and now it's the age of the computer. Humans simply nod, say "cool," or muster up just enough energy to keep the conversation flowing.
Where are the freeways of Los Angeles, those round-the-clock networks of thoroughfares? Her has given us a film where humans are always driven by something: by trains and subways, by people and their OS's. The freeway system, though, has always indicated a communal, organized place of integration. Individual destinations merge with traffic, and a different state of mind is adopted. Call it an American ideal, but there's something to the freedom of movement that is totally improbable to a place like Manhattan. There are no dead-ends on the freeway, but rather a regular flow which deviates all over its cityscape.

All of our services are free and we do not ask you to present any type of insurance. Our generous donors help us provide these services so that no one in our community needs to delay prenatal care or necessary medical services due to financial reasons. We do ask for donations, but that is optional for patients.
While it can be possible to receive accurate results before missing a menstrual cycle, pregnancy tests are most accurate after missing a month's menstrual cycle.
Once you have a verified pregnancy, you have three options to consider: parenting, adoption and abortion. Finding out you are pregnant can cause a wide-range of emotions, so we encourage you to talk to a family member or friend you trust. Our staff is more than willing to discuss your options with you. No one should be pressured into making a decision about her pregnancy. We want to provide a safe place for you to make the healthiest decision possible.
You will receive your pregnancy test results at the time of your appointment. STI results will be available on the Monday following your test, so we will schedule a follow-up appointment for you at the time of your testing.
We test for the two most common STIs, chlamydia and gonorrhea, and they are both tested with simple urine samples, so no blood work is necessary. Many times these two infections have no symptoms, so you can be infected and not even know it. They are so prevalent that the Centers for Disease Control recommend that every sexually active person between the ages of 15 and 24 get tested at least once a year.
Because STI and pregnancy testing can often lead to a wide range of follow-up discussions, we encourage all of our clients to talk to a family member or friend that they trust. If you choose, you may bring them to the appointment. However, because of the Sexual Health Reproductive laws in Colorado, we are able to provide full testing and treatment to you without parental consent. We also provide all of our services free so that there is no need for insurance. We pride ourselves in making your health and confidentiality our top priority.
STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection) and STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) are often used interchangeably. Medically, infections are called diseases when they begin to cause symptoms; however, it is common for people to use the term STD even when there are no symptoms.
The Centers for Disease Control recommends STI/STD testing any time you have had new or multiple sex partners. There are four types of sex that can put you at risk for contracting an STI: mutual masturbation, oral sex, vaginal sex and anal sex. Many infections may not cause symptoms but can still be passed between partners. Also remember that while condoms may reduce the risk of getting pregnant or contracting an STI/STD, even if used consistently and correctly each and every time, they cannot provide 100% protection.
Yes! We recognize that an unplanned pregnancy can be overwhelming for the man involved. Even a planned pregnancy can cause some feelings of concern. In the same way that we offer advocacy services for pregnant women, we offer all these services for their partners. In addition to meeting with a Men's Advocate, the father of the baby can be present for the ultrasound (with the female client's consent). We offer many classes geared specifically towards men as well as classes that expectant parents can attend together. We also offer STI testing and treatment for men.
We do not provide emergency contraception (Plan B, the Morning After Pill, etc.); however, we can discuss how it works and possible side-effects of its usage. For more information, call (970) 264-5963 and ask to speak to the clinic manager.
We do not provide birth control at our office. However, if you are seeking information about birth control, make an appointment with the doctor for a consultation.

Showstopper: The Iain Norrie Story
Marquee players can define their team's brand, and can serve as representatives for an entire organization. They are usually characterized by and idolized for their skill, off-ice presence, or some combination of the two.
Sometimes, however, this same impact can be felt when a figure not on the roster becomes a face of the organization and serves as the heart: pumping energy to all moving parts of the club. College basketball fans witnessed this phenomenon first-hand when Jean Dolores-Schmidt, Team Chaplain of the underdog Loyola University Chicago Ramblers, made international headlines following Loyola's buzzer beating win against the Miami Hurricanes and ensuring run through the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Having a similar impact as Sister Jean, and changing the Peterborough Petes from simply a team to a family, is stick boy Iain Norrie.
Norrie is a critical component to the morale of the entire organization. The Petes stick boy is an OHL veteran, although he can't recall his exact start date with the team. From a discussion with local alumni and Iain's reflection on the rosters he previously worked with, it is estimated that Mr. Norrie's time with the Petes will be approaching nearly forty years in 2018.
Frequently referred to simply as "E," the Petes' stick boy is described as, "a notable figure in the organization," by coach Andrew Verner. Verns continued on, stating:
"I came in here in 1989. One of the first people I met was Iain, he was always helping out our training staff at the time, which was Jim Parcels. I recently ran into [1989 Petes alumnus] Chris Longo and he came to a Petes game and couldn't believe it when he saw Iain. He was excited when he saw Iain and Iain remembered him."
Outside the Memorial Centre, Iain does custodial work at Merrett Home Hardware twice a week, and spends the majority of his days embarking on extensive walks around Peterborough, touring downtown and the Lansdowne Place mall, with custom walking sticks composed of the materials from hockey sticks in each hand.
He is a Timbit connoisseur, who stands firm that birthday cake and chocolate glazed are the Canadian franchise's best product, and adores Hawaiian pizza, although he's willing to compromise with pepperoni.
E is passionate about rock and roll music and can often be found with a new CD from Sunrise Records or a shop downtown in hand when he circles back home from his adventures around the city.
Always a great day when @PetesOHLhockey Stick Boy and @KISSOnline super fan Ian Norrie drops into @1005FreshRadio @thewolfca #Legend pic.twitter.com/vUREdYnvC4
— Pete Dalliday (@petedalliday) October 12, 2017
In his spare time Iain commits himself to refining his NHL '18 video game skills. A competitive edge of Norrie's reveals itself when the Petes' stick boy challenges players or assistant coach Mike Duco to an electronic scrimmage. Norrie is notorious for selecting the Pittsburgh Penguins as his team since he favours the presence of Sid the Kid and Evgeni Malkin on the black and yellow lineup.
Duco describes his times playing video games against Norrie has some of his favourite moments shared with the long time Pete, recapping their friendly rivalry, "the first time I beat him he was pretty upset about it but he shook my hand and told me he was going to go home and practice." (At press time, both confirmed that the series stands at 2-1 for Duco, although Iain took the initial matchup in a shootout.)
On game days, Iain sticks to a strict routine. He starts the day with breakfast then calls Petes' head trainer Brian "BMan" Miller to inquire about what colour jersey they will be wearing that night, so that he can match.
Loved coming to the rink everyday to see Iain. Always had a smile on his face and was eager to talk. Has the best CD collection in town!
— Scott Barney (@barndog44) March 23, 2018
According to Miller, when he is unable to get to the phone in time to answer Iain, the same message is left every time that says, "Bman, Iain here, it's urgent." After calling BMan, Norrie will call his friend and Petes senior group ticket sales coordinator, Matt D'Agostini, to check in. He arrives at the rink at 4:00 pm sharp, first greeting the training staff then making his way to the office. From here he changes out of his outerwear and into his game night attire: Petes jersey, jacket adorned in pins and ball cap following the same aesthetic as his windbreaker decked out in enamel pins. The pins reflect all things hockey from the various governing bodies across the country including: Hockey BC and Hockey Nova Scotia, to minor hockey teams from the prairies. Iain's advice to every stick boy is, "to get a good outfit."
While at the rink Iain is part of the stick delivery operation taking the twigs on and off the bench. He also fills up the water bottles during and between periods and ensures that each player receives a fist bump before taking their first stride on the ice.
An accessory, but legendary, task in his role is the brief performance he puts on for the team in the dressing room after a win. It unfolds as so: he walks in after all the guys, makes sure everyone in the room is quiet and when the timing is perfect yells, "SHOWSTOPPER" as he swings his arm across his body and up. It is Iain's signature after a long night's work, and may just be the reason why Peterborough has held a stark home ice advantage in recent years.
Although he won't explicitly claim favourites, Norrie does recount special bonds he has formed with alumni like Chris Pronger ('91-93) and Kyle Jenkins ('14-17). Although hundreds of players have rotated through the Petes, his attention to detail allows him to recall moments like Mike Martone's ('94-98) shoulder injury in the nineties or former captain Eric Cornel's ('12-15) stats off the top of his head.
In the off-season Iain's workload lightens up and instead of meeting buddies like D'Agostini at the rink, they take trips to other local hotspots for treats and conversation.
D'Agostini reminisces that, "every Tuesday around noon he makes a point of coming to see me, I either take him to the mall's Tim Horton's or the Tim Horton's up at George St., here. And its been that way every week in the summer for three or four years, from May to September and beyond. It allows us to connect."
Always fun hanging out with @PetesOHLhockey stick boy Iain Norrie! He loves his @TimHortons #TimHortonsTuesday pic.twitter.com/4vZijxQTKo
— Matt D'Agostini (@mdags91) July 12, 2016
What Iain means to the Petes goes way beyond being the best stick boy in the league, and his popularity through the decades connects everyone in the Petes family. His positivity and ability to work a room serves catalyze relationships all through the organization, from coaching staff and players to game operations volunteers and business staff.

Minister Scullion said funding of $165,000 over 3 years would go to the Katherine Isolated Children's Service Inc (KICS) to run mobile playgroups for 134 children in communities throughout the Katherine region.
The funding for KICS will assist in running 10 playgroup sessions per location per year in the following communities: Robinson River; Kiana Station; Daly Waters; Corella Creek; Brunette Downs Station; Barkly Cluster; Newcastle Waters Station; Manyallaluk; Bulman; Mountain Valley Station; Beswick; Supplejack Station; Pigeon Hole Community; Kalkarindji / Daguragu; Riveren Station; Werenbun Community; Mataranka; Menggen; Gorrie Station; Amanbidji; Bulla Camp; Timber Creek; Numbulwar; Ngukurr; Urapunga; Limmen Bight / Nathan River; Minyerri; Jilkminngan; Victoria River Downs Station; Yarralin; Lingara; and Top Springs.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and radio-TV shock-jock Alex Jones exchanged insults outside a Capitol Hill hearing on social media hearing. Jones interrupted Rubio's press conference and called the Florida senator "little frat boy." Rubio responded, "Don't touch me again, man."
Rubio also laughingly called Jones a "dumbass." Tensions appeared to escalate after Rubio ordered Jones not to touch him after Jones placed his hand on the senator's shoulder while reporters watched. "Hey, don't touch me again, man. I'm asking you not to touch me again," Rubio said.
Here's the rough video of Alex Jones confronting Marco Rubio.— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) September 5, 2018
Rubio claimed to not know who Jones was, then got triggered when Jones patted him on the back.
Rubio claimed he knew nothing about Big Tech deplatforming conservatives. pic.twitter.com/MdOQrRWDhj
"Well, sure, I just patted you nicely," Jones replied. "I don't know who you are. You're not gonna get arrested man, you're not gonna get arrested, I'll take care of it myself," Rubio said, after Jones asked if he was going to have him arrested. "Oh, you'll beat me up. Look at him he's so mad," Jones said. "You're not going to silence me. You're not gonna silence America. You are a little gangster thug. Rubio just threatened to physically take care of me."
Jones continued to taunt Rubio as the latter walked back to the committee hearing. "Look at this little frat boy, he's so cool. Go back to your bathhouse. There goes Rubio, little punk," Jones said.
Jones is the founder and host of Infowars and PrisonPlanet. After Apple, Facebook, and Google took steps to remove him from their platforms, Twitter gave him a "time out." Jones has denounced the media giants and claimed that they are unduly censoring him. "As the president says, it is a witch hunt, but it's beyond a witch hunt," Jones said earlier today.
Appearing before the Senate, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey conceded to Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), "We simply haven't done enough," after the senator noted that Twitter has taken down more than 3,800 accounts linked to the Russian government-linked Internet Research Agency. Collins said that these fake accounts "spread conspiracy theories and false claims of voter fraud." Collins noted that one of the Twitter accounts claimed to represent the Kentucky GOP. "In this particular case, we didn't have enough communication going out in terms of what was seen and what was tweeted and what people were falling into," Dorsey told Collins.
Facebook was represented by COO Sheryl Sandberg. Google was scored by senators because the tech giant refrained from sending a top executive. Dorsey and Sandberg faced a number of topics. For example, Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) asked Dorsey if Twitter users are alerted when their are interacting with fake accounts. The two execs were also questioned about how they are handling "deep fakes," digitally manipulated audio and video.
Warner criticized Google for its absence, saying, "Google has an immense responsibility in this space." During his opening comments, Warner said, "Given its size and influence, I would have thought the leadership at Google would want to demonstrate how seriously it takes these challenges and to lead this important public discussion."

5 hours with Karen, Rick, Luke, Rachel and Player One.
Karen, a lonely, divorced mother of a 15 year old goth who has travelled by plane to meet a guy from the internet in an Airport Hotel Cocktail lounge.
Rick, a lonely divorced recovering alcoholic, working as a bartender in the cocktail lounge.
Luke, a lonely former pastor, who's run away with the churches renovation fund.
Rachel, an 18 year old breeder of white lab mice, who can't recognise faces, metaphors or understand art or music. She's on a mission to find a man to father her child. So she can prove to her father that she's not an alien.
Player One - the narrator of the story - Rachel's on-line avatar.
While in the Cocktail lounge they become aware that the price of sweet crude oil has skyrocketed, a series of explosions then take place which cause a chemical fallout. The power cuts out and a sniper starts picking people off.
This book is really a look at our perception of time, of ourselves as individuals and what it is to believe in something, be it God, or your ability to find your place in humanity - to find your story. It's also about loneliness, and what you're willing to do to make a connection with another human being.
I felt that parts of it did link up with Girlfriend in a Coma, especially when Betis the sniper was talking about spreading the word (how you should write something of meaning on everything, even trash to show people the way - otherwise your life is a waste).
This was an incredibly quick read, as it was originally devised as a series of 5 one hour lectures. Most things were tied up at the end - although I would have liked to know what happened to Max (whether his father and sister were ok).

|Jimmy Choo "Drift" Bootie & Clutch + Prada Pump
One of the hottest trends for this fall are pointy toe pumps. Almost every pump we have received for fall merchandise has a pointy toe. I have fallen in love with so many of the styles, so I know customers will too! Our target customer for our area is a more conservative lady, therefore, we do carry a more moderate heel height to meet her needs, but we definitely have plenty of different styles to choose from.
|Jimmy Choo "Wheel" Smoking Slipper & Bag
Designers are really playing around with different textures this fall. Which makes the shoe stand out more and definitely gives the customer a 2 for 1 kinda deal. Jimmy Choo has really been mixing up the textures for fall. There are a few different styles that fade from suede to a patent leather, and also, from one color to another. There are pretty amazing and most definitely my favorite style for fall, not to mention, they are also pointy toe! =)
A few other trends you can look forward to for fall are, open toed booties (LOVE LOVE LOVE), bow pumps, suede to pony hair, and shiny shiny shiny! Overall, I'm pretty much in shoe heaven at Nordstrom! Our pre-fall show case event is tomorrow giving our customers the opportunity to get their fall merchandise asap. We are also giving out gifts, and having contests. It should be a lot of fun <3 !

What a nightmare! I am glad after I tried the gymnasium, I was coping with respected people. That they had agreed that if I decided I did not wish to use my membership, I could give the unused portion of it to my husband. the time finally got here when I did that and there have been no problems in any respect. If I were ever to think about joining a gymnasium once more, I'd go aback to them. The place I reside, you pay in your contract interval up entrance all of sudden at most gyms. I feel they even took a bank card, but it may need been a test. No nonsense about direct deposits!

The beds and pillows at the Hotel Istana were really hard, so neither of us had as good a nights sleep as the previous night. However, we are leaving KL for Singapore at around midday, so it's up and at em for any last minute sightseeing this morning.
Breakfast at the hotel is fairly good, its another buffet with all the usual suspects (beef rending for breakfast anyone???), but once again, it's not as good as the breakfast at the Equatorial Hotel in Melaka. After breakfast we walked to the Petronas Towers to see if we could buy a ticket for the Skybridge. Unfortunately they were all sold out until 4.15pm in the afternoon – not sure why the guy at the desk last night didn't bother to tell us we didn't have a hope in hell of getting a ticket for the next day! We managed to get a few photos of the outside of the tower anyway, that were free. No doubt if we had paid the money to get up there, we wouldn't have been able to see much with the weather as it was.
On the way back to the hotel, we detoured to Bukit Bintang Road to have a quick browse in the Pavillion shopping mall. Massive mall, just like all the others. We browsed around a bit, mainly to get out of the sweat drenching heat, and then headed back to the hotel to pack up our stuff and head back to Singapore. KL hasn't really impressed me, it's too much of another big city, without too much of a warming quality to it. Though the hotel staff we extremely polite and friendly, not many people outside the hotel were. In fact we got pushed in on and ignored on a regular basis during our 1 ½ day stay. It's definitely not somewhere I'd want to return to and I can't wait to get back to the cleanliness of Singapore.
The trip back to Singapore is a long one – about 5 hours. Our poor driver Mohammed comes from Johor Bahru and had driven to KL from JB to collect us only this morning! He did buy us some really nice curry puffs at one of the rest stops outside of Melaka, but I think we're the ones who should have done the treating! Finally, after our long and rainy trip, we arrive back at the Traders Hotel just after 5.30pm.
Clarke Quay is on the itinerary for dinner tonight, and after wandering round checking out about a dozen menus, we decide on Tomo Japanese restaurant along the river. I ordered Tempura prawns and needing something to go on the side, at the last minute chose a Gomou salad – which was awesome. The Oiran cocktail was also divine!

Road to nowehere
Written by Alison Wells Sunday, 09 September 2018
Local resident Alison Wells makes a request to the drivers of Wanstead, and if we all take note, it will make the air we breathe both inside and outside our cars a little bit cleaner.
In recent weeks, in and around Wanstead, I have noticed a lot of people sitting in parked cars with the engines running. This seemed to me to be causing a lot of air pollution and so I decided to do some research and take action.
Heart in mouth, I now go up to these people and ask them, very nicely, to consider turning off their engines, explaining I am concerned about air pollution affecting us all, but in particular, children and older people. So far, I've asked 12 people to switch off their engines and everyone has agreed to do so, and I haven't encountered any aggression, so thank you to you all for being so nice about it!
It is known as idling, and here are some facts and figures I hope will persuade everyone that this is a bad practice.
One of the biggest idling myths is that it's more efficient to leave a car engine running for a few minutes than to shut it off and turn it back on again. The truth is that with modern (post mid-1980s) fuel-injection technology, starting a car requires almost no fuel.
Leaving an engine idling is also an offence under section 42 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. The act enforces rule 123 of the Highway Code, which states: "You must not leave a vehicle's engine running unnecessarily while that vehicle is stationary on a public road." You are liable for a £20 fine if you don't turn off your engine when requested.
An idling engine can produce up to twice the emissions of a car in motion. These include chemicals such as sulphur dioxide, particulate matter and nitrogen oxide, to name a few. All of these contribute to asthma, heart disease and even lung cancer. In particular, children are at risk of dangerous levels of air pollution from cars because exposure to toxic air is often far higher inside than outside vehicles. Yes, inside the cars, not outside. So, if you are idling and your children are in the back seat, they are breathing more polluted air than if they were walking outside, according to government advisers. The Royal College of Physicians estimates 40,000 deaths a year in the UK are linked to air pollution, with engine idling contributing to this.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has made recommendations for improving road-traffic-related air pollution. As part of this, NICE is encouraging authorities to raise awareness and crack down on idling, which may lead to 'No Idling Zones', where authorised individuals such as traffic enforcement officers monitor vehicles around schools or busy shopping areas.
According to the RAC, research shows 23% of all car journeys are two miles or under, so consider whether you really need to drive at all. If you do use your car, then please switch off your engine when you're waiting.

|In my husband's dreams!
I really hate ironing and for the most part I don't do it. It is boring and hot and frankly I have better things to do with my time.
To quote my mother; "You're a long time dead" to which I have added "So why would you bother ironing?"
With that in mind the ironing policy in our house is as follows:
- My stepsons are old enough to do their own (and so be it if they don't).
- My husband is certainly old enough to do his own.
- My little kids look the same after 10 minutes whether I have ironed their clothes or not.
- I don't buy myself clothes that need to be ironed. Sometimes, when I see a beautiful white linen shirt, that makes me sad but for the most part it is a sacrifice I am more than happy to make.
But when we all go to church on Christmas Day it is important to me that we look nice so on Christmas Eve I have my annual iron fest and iron everyone's clothes for the next day.
That reminds me how stupid it is and how much I hate it and I'm pretty much done for the next year.
In my defence, I am incredibly careful how I bring the clothes in from the line so we don't look too rumpled. I fold the clothes straight away and woe betide the child that play in the baskets of clean washing and gets them crumpled.
I also follow one fantastic piece of advice from Maggie Alderson who, in her SMH column, once said to always peg your t-shirts under the arms so you don't get visible peg marks. She probably doesn't even remember but she rocked my world that day!
Do you
