Looking at Bishop Schraven's daily life one would not immediately recognize a saint in him. He was a devoted person, but sometimes hard and inflexible in his relationship to others. What makes him special is the inward constant that makes him be present at the moment suprême. At the cost of his own life and his companions' he stands up for the right of people to integrity. Then he is the unconditional defender of the weak.
Bishop Schraven was a Vincentian. Can we understand his life and works better taking his Vincentian spirituality as a starting point? The focus of spirituality lies there where what transcends a man and what is his deepest self meet, in Christian terms: where God and the soul meet. Spirituality realizes itself in the relationship between these poles. For Vincent spirituality is connected to the competence of placing yourself in a relationship with God. That is the power supply for the relationship with others, in particular with the weak and suppressed. How did bishop Schraven live this spirituality in his service to the Chinese people?
Short biography of the author
Tjeu van Knippenberg c.m. is a Vincentian, former professor of pastoral theology at different Dutch universities. Currently he works in post academic formation. He is initiator of the Vincent de Paul Center in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Anyone who wants to know Bishop Schraven at a profounder level must gain insight into the sources from which he lived and worked. One of these sources is Vincentian spirituality. How did this work in him? In order to find a provisional answer to that question I will proceed through the following sub-questions: What is spirituality? What is Vincentian spirituality? Which indicators tell us about the quality and operation of this spirituality in Bishop Schraven?
1. What is spirituality?
Today spirituality is a commonly used word in a whole range of divergent meanings. During a lecture the English poet Michael Symmons Roberts was asked about his spirituality. That question was followed by a long silence and finally he said that he thought the word needed a long period of rest to get back its strength . The hesitation in his answer has to do with the fact that spirituality is not a brief state of mind, but is related to the full range of human life experience. It is the breeding ground, the spiritual capital that people have at their disposal in their spatiotemporal condition and with which they confront the reality in which they live.
This also means that spirituality can get an interpretation completely its own through the different circumstances of the time and the space in which it takes shape. When I speak about Bishop Schraven's spirituality, I am talking about the spirituality of someone who is a western catholic in the transition from the nineteenth to the twentieth century. Exactly at the boundary between these two centuries Frans Schraven leaves for China where he will expand his spiritual capital and employ it in the service of the Chinese people.
This spiritual capital is obtained and built in the space in which he lived: his own body, social relations, nature, the universe. It is also formed by the collective identity as it took shape around the last turn of the century in the Netherlands and in France. In this spatiotemporal situation Bishop Schraven tried to find the meaning of the context in which he lived: feelings of being at home and abroad, of esteem and hostility, of belonging and being excluded. Similarly he tried to find the meaning of the direction of his passage through time: how can continuity and change be reconciled, is there a plan or mere coincidence? In all this there was a great awareness of the mystery that lives in the spatiotemporal existence and that is the foundation of a continuously changing world. Religion has always found a way to feed spirituality; to live with reverence and devotion the personal and shared existence. It has offered rituals, customs and practices to enable us to be human.
From the religious awareness that was proper to Bishop Schraven we can, in the words of KeesWaaijman, define spirituality as ' the divine-human relational process'. The heart of somebody's spirituality is situated in his relationship with God. That relation is embedded in the concrete spatiotemporal existence. It is not stagnant, is not a state, but an event. The relationship between God and man develops, and does so in a process of continuous transformation . According to the Biblical belief people have their origin in a divine transcendence. They stand in a relationship with this higher or more profound reality. If you look at the history of spirituality itwill be clear that the two poles between which the relationship occurs, God and man, do not always have the same meaning.
In the time and space of St Vincent, the seventeenth century in France, the word God played a self-evident role in the collective use of language. The belief in transcendence had not been fundamentally affected although there was a growing belief in man's own capacities. The connection between God and man was rather unchallenged. However, the 'how' of this relationship was under heavy pressure in the battle between reformation and counter reformation. What value does a man have relative to God? What is the proportion of human good works and God's grace? In present-day Western culture that has changed. It is not so much about modalities in the divine-human relationship, but the relationship itself contains a big question mark. Belief in what transcends us is minimal.
Something transcends us. We did not enter life through our own power, and also we have no control over the fact that we leave this life. Human life is encompassed by transcending events, birth and death. These events befall us. They transcend us and act like a frame around life. They enclose personal life and in the end we have no control over them. The beginning of our path of life escapes our personal control. Finally, so does its end. Our life story is embedded. We do not begin to tell it ourselves, nor do we finish telling it ourselves .
In the seventeenth century, and certainly from the eighteenth century onwards, the slow process of the 'disenchantment of the world' begins, which goes hand in hand with the broad secularisation movement. Ferry calls that process the humanisation of the divine. On the other hand, parallel with this, we see a deification of the human, in Ferry's eyes a form of compensation .
In order to gain a proper insight into Vincentian spirituality I will discuss briefly the concept of spirituality as such. The focus of spirituality is where there is contact between what transcends a human being and what is essentially properto him. Between God and the human quintessence, between the Eternal and the now, between the Present and the here, between I AM and I am. Someone's spirituality can be read from the shape which the relationship between these poles takes, the way in which the divine-human relational process occurs.
What transcends us and what is the hidden core of our existence are closely related. A human being is formed by that relationship. From it he thinks, feels and acts. In Jesus this comes to light in an extraordinary way: he calls God 'abba', literally papa, a relationship of reverence and proximity. Therein lies the orientation for his doings. In that sense I would like to define spirituality as a relational process that develops in the lived relation with Him who transcends us.
2. What is Vincentian Spirituality?
What is specific about Vincent de Paul's spirituality? In other words: how does he give shape to the relationship with God? What is his breeding ground – what is the spiritual capital he works with – and how is this breeding ground itself fertilised? The breeding ground of Vincent's spirituality lies in the awareness that God is actively present in this world, in events and in people. Vincent expresses this knowledge as a guide for attitude and behaviour in the expression he likes to use 'côtoyer la Providence', sailing along the coastline of Providence, following Providence step by step.
This spirituality is fed and strengthened by meditation and practising charity. Meditation enables a person to become more and more conscious of the presence of God. When you pray, says Vincent, then be like the horse that the rider ties to the bracket when he is going to have a drink in the pub. The presence stays on. He learnt that from Francis de Sales, in a personal friendship and through his 'Introduction à la vie dévote'. His meditations begin with 'Place yourself in the presence of God'. You need not bring God closer to yourself, but yourself closer to God.
In Vincent's spirituality there is a bond between passive and active. Living in God's presence is accompanied by love of God 'with a sweaty face and in the strength of your arms'. His message is: 'That you must empty yourself of yourself in order to clothe yourself with Christ, that you must step out of yourself and must give yourself through concrete commitment because love, if it is to be real, is both affective ànd effective. ' (C XI, 351) .
Affection and effect, background and foreground, spiritual capital and its fruits belong together. Vincent's spirituality is awakened in his relationship with other people, particularly in relationship with people who have been pushed to the brink. That is the place to meet God. There your relationship with God is awakened and there it stays alive. The relationship with God is not abstract, but is connected to the relationship with the other and with yourself. That relationship pattern is interactive. 'When you are praying and a sick person calls you, then go to that sick person'. Vincent calls it leaving God for God's sake, for serving the sick 'c'est faire oraison'(CIX, 326).
Vincent's spirituality developed into a transformation process. Until his mid-thirties he considered the spiritual capital that he had gained through origin, study, ordination and prudence as an insurance for a prosperous and esteemed life. That changed. I want to sketch this change on the basis of two events that deeply affect the quality of his faith, his hope and his love.
In 1617 we see a turn. Two central events will profoundly affect Vincent's spiritual process and result in two themes which will play a leading role in his life and work: mission and caritas, that is to say: hope, and love fed by faith. In Gannes he is called to the bedside of a dying peasant. This man appears to be full of fear, guilty as he feels about the life that he has led. Vincent is deeply impressed. He sees the man's face which deeply affects him. In the face of this vulnerable man he sees the face of Christ. He discusses with mrs De Gondi an action which will expand far beyond Gannes: the general confession. He preaches about it in Folleville on January 25 . He has seen themisery of ignorance, of coercion and submission and wants to liberate people to what they are: children of God. The concept of mission becomes concrete for Vincent. Mission is to do with development. Vincent to the Daughters of Charity: 'because in the past the congregation was not what it is now, one may assume that it is not yet what it will be when God has led it to where he wants it'.
The second decisive experience also concerns poverty, but is of a different nature. In Châtillon les Dombes, on a Sunday just before mass, he receives a message about a poor family where the father and breadwinner has died. On that same Sunday, August 20, he preaches about it, apparently with such persuasion that already in the afternoon a procession of people sets out with goods for the family concerned. His response: 'There is much love here, but it is badly organised.' Caritas becomes concrete for Vincent.
Mission is meant to strengthen the affect; caritas is the effective expression of it. Affection is connected with effectivity. Similarly mercy is connected with justice. If you do something for a poor person, you do not practice mercy, but justice. The core of this view lies in Vincent's spirituality which originates from the authentic quintessence which is proper to everyone individually and which essentially connects people. To a confrere: 'Sir, may God soften our hearts to these people in need and make us aware of the fact that through our help we only do justice and not mercy.' (CVII, 98). And: 'There is only love if it is accompanied by justice' (CII, 54).
3. Indicators of Vincentian Spirituality in Bishop Schraven
Christian and particularly Vincentian spirituality manifests itself in forms of faith, hope and love. You can catch it in the way in which and the extent to which these theological virtues are present and shaped. How do we see this in the life of Bishop Schraven?
Bishop Schraven's spirituality is indisputably founded in his faith. He lives in the presence of God who is among us in the incarnation of Jesus Christ. To this he testifies in the beginning of all his letters: 'The mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us forever', just as at the end: 'I remain in the holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary.' These pronouncements are the framework within which questions, statements, thoughts and plans are embedded. His faith stands for a basic trust that lives in him. Life is not survival; human life means partaking of divine life. Everything that happens he sees in the perspective of eternity. That trust is the basis of an attitude of equanimity; he has the charisma of the long term and a great endurance. More than once he reports that, whatever happens to you, you can find strength through the certainty that heavenly life is better than earthly life. January 24 1903: 'the more sacrifices we bring here on earth, the greater will be our reward in Heaven.' God is close every day. On March 6 1906 he seems to speak about what will happen to him more than thirty years later.
'You see, if any moment you can get a bullet in your body or get your head chopped off then you had better be prepared to die at any moment, and then you are not afraid anymore.' Bishop Schraven accepts his concretely finite life in all its fragmentation as embedded in the Eternal.
Hope is a sensor and guide in his passage through time. That hope does not provide him with a blueprint for the future, but it does give him a strong feeling of direction in all processes of change that occur on his path through life. He experiences a major development in his passage from Europe to China. Thus he writes in a letter dated February 9 1902: 'I have become a pastor: imagine a pastor of hardly 28 years of age, who speaksonly a bit of Chinese and is, of course, anything but informed about all Chinese customs'. He has the mentality of someone who is on the road. With St Vincent he follows the trail of Providence. That is his point of orientation. On February 23 1934 he writes to his brother Henri: 'Keep your head up and especially trust in God: sooner or later there will be a solution even if now the future seems so hopeless. Praying and working is all we can do and He who takes care of birds and plants will certainly not forget us.' Time and again he looks from the perspective of the final reality to the changeable reality of his path through life.
His way of life shows that for Bishop Schraven the essence of human beings is kinship – being brothers and sisters. The foundation of that essence is love. St Vincent taught him: 'Love is the mistress. So one must do what she commands'(C X, 595). The preference of this love is for the poor. A sign of that we find in a letter dated March 4 1921 to Henri and family about a visit to the pope and the journey to Europe it involves: '… anyhow, before I undertake the journey to Europe, the famine here must have ended and all must have been well arranged and well on its way'. This attitude of solidarity appears to be present even in his last known letter to the generalate of the Vincentians in Paris dated September 17 1937. In it he writes: 'In China it is always the same: it's always the poor peasants who pay the bill'. (In this case because of the poor harvest and the damage to their country by the many trenches). To him love is not just mercy, but it is closely connected to justice. This love is his mistress.
How can we summarize the character of his Vincentian spirituality? In a letter dated July 24 1898 to his mother he speaks about suffering: 'Our life here on earth is a continuing struggle and unless we are full of trust in God life is unbearable ….' Further on he reflects: 'But why always speak of suffering on such a joyful day? (his mother's nameday) Yes mother, I do not know where that comes from: I simply write what is in my heart. Pausing for half an hour to find all sorts of beautiful words which are only half believed, I don't like that.' This seems to be a statement which is crucial for his factual spirituality. It testifies to a certain form of holiness. In some, holiness is a matter of growth. In others it manifests itself in the answer that they give in an extreme situation. In Schraven and companions faith, hope and love come together at the moment that matters. When defenceless women were threatened, they showed themselves unconditional defenders of the weak. Their spirituality is founded in their relationship to God. There they find the strength to stand up for the oppressed and the weak in their service to the Chinese people.

AKIPRESS.COM - Bazar Bazarguruev of Kyrgyzstan became a bronze winner in men's freestyle 60 kg at the 2008 Summer Olympics Beijing after Ukraine's Vasyl Fedoryshyn failed anti-doping test, United World Wrestling said.
The International Olympic Committee on April 6 announced two freestyle wrestlers from the 2008 Olympic Games have failed anti-doping tests.
Artur Raymazov of Uzbekistan who won gold at 120kg and 60kg silver medalist Vasyl Fedoryshyn were found to have failed the retests of their A and B samples from the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
In addition to the re-shuffling of Olympics medal table, the United World Wrestling will conduct proceedings to review possible suspensions in accordance with its established anti-doping policy.
Kyrgyzstan's Bazarguruev and Japan's Kenichi Yumoto are now bronze and silver medalists in new medal standings for each weight category affected by the anti-doping tests.
Bazarguruev was born January 9, 1985, he is a wrestler of Buryat descent from Kyrgyzstan. He participated in Men's freestyle 60 kg at 2008 Summer Olympics and was ranked on 4-5 place. He lost the bronze medal fight with Kenichi Yumoto from Japan.
The United World Wrestling judge has also passed down decisions for previously noted anti-doping violations of Kazakhstan's Soslan Tigiev, Khasan Baroev of Russia and Taymuraz Tigiev of Uzbekistan. Soslan Tigiev, who also has a violation in 2012, is banned for life. Baroev and T. Tigiev are each banned for two years and their results achieved from Beijing 2008 until August 2010 (2 years) are annulled.

%T An evaluation of a 'BE NICE Champion' program: a bullying intervention program for registered nurses
%J Journal of Nursing Management
%A Keller, Ronald
%A Allie, Tammy
%A Levine, Robert
%V ePub
%N ePub
%P ePub-ePub
%X AIM: To explore the experiences, perceptions, and attitudes of registered nurses (RNs) who completed the BE NICE Champion training program; a home-grown program that provides RNs tools to intervene when bullying is observed; using the "4S's": Stand-by, Support, Speak up, and Sequester.
BACKGROUND: The growing body of literature surrounding the negative impact bullying has on individuals and organizations suggests the need to develop more effective prevention and intervention programs.
METHOD: A qualitative focus group approach utilizing a purposive sample of 25 RNs who participated in the training program.
RESULTS: Three consistent themes emerged from a content analysis of the transcripts: (a) awareness and understanding, (b) applying the 4S's, and (c) feeling prepared and empowered. Additional themes included: impact on the work environment and additional program recommendations tailored to nursing leadership. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Leaders need to demonstrate a commitment to address bullying. Implementing this program can positively impact their environment.
CONCLUSION: The program and use of the 4S's adequately provided RNs with confidence to intervene when bullying was observed. RNs felt better equipped to respond due to the techniques learned and appreciated our organizational commitment to address bullying. Furthermore, the program may be strengthened by incorporating recommendations discussed. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

I have a theory that The Simpsons shaped my sense of humour.
I haven't been able to get this song out of my head for the past few days, so I thought I'd write it here as a cathartic measure to help purge my song-relay demons!
See My Vest by Mr Burns
Some men hunt for sport,
Others hunt for food,
The only thing I'm hunting for,
Is an outfit that looks good…
See my vest, see my vest,
Made from real gorilla chest,
Feel this sweater, there's no better,
Than authentic Irish setter.
See this hat, 'twas my cat,
My evening wear – vampire bat,
These white slippers are albino
African endangered rhino.
Grizzly bear underwear,
Turtles' necks, I've got my share,
Beret of poodle, on my noodle
It shall rest,
Try my red robin suit,
It comes one breast or two,
See my vest, see my vest,
See my vest.
Like my loafers? Former gophers –
It was that or skin my chauffeurs,
But a greyhound fur tuxedo
Would be best,
So let's prepare these dogs,
Kill two for matching clogs,
See my vest, see my vest,
Oh please, won't you see my vest.

Abortion law remains in limbo, even after ruling
AUSTIN — The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals may have ruled that Texas should be allowed to enforce a new law requiring doctors to conduct a sonogram before performing an abortion, but that doesn't mean the law will be enforced anytime soon.
At issue is how much the state can control what a doctor tells a patient. The law's supporters, most of whom oppose abortion rights, say the law is necessary to make sure a woman fully understands what an abortion entails.
The only way to do this, supporters argue, is to require the doctor to conduct a sonogram, make the image viewable to the woman, play the fetal heartbeat over a speaker and verbally describe whether the fetus has organs or limbs. Women cannot ask the doctor to skip any of these steps unless they legally certify that they are victims of incest or rape, or if the doctor finds that the fetus is fatally deformed.
The Texas Medical Association and women's rights groups oppose the law because they say the state is interfering with the doctor-patient relationship for ideological reasons and the law serves no medical purpose. U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks determined that a group of doctors who sued to stop the state from enforcing the new law had a strong enough case that the measure should be put on hold pending a trial.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse Sparks' order.
On Tuesday, the circuit's Chief Judge Edith H. Jones issued a judicial opinion saying the doctors had not proven that Texas was violating their First Amendment rights to free speech, and therefore Sparks' order to block enforcement was premature. But Jones did not issue a mandate ending that injunction and won't for at least 14 days, giving the doctors who are represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights time to appeal her ruling.
The center could ask for a rehearing of the case by the full Fifth Circuit. Under court rules, though, a group must convince a majority of the judges that Jones made "an error of exceptional public importance or an opinion that directly conflicts with prior Supreme Court, Fifth Circuit or state law precedent," an extremely high legal standard to meet. Only 1 percent of cases are reheard in this way, according to court documents, and most of those are at the suggestion of one of the judges.
Jones, appointed by former President Ronald Reagan in 1985, made it clear in a 2004 opinion she wrote for the McCorvey v. Hill case that she questions the logic behind the Supreme Court's decision to legalize abortion in the landmark Roe vs. Wade case. The opinion she issued Tuesday also accepted the state's argument that a woman could not understand the abortion procedure without a sonogram and the state-mandated explanation.
"This ruling tells a lot about how any further appeals will go and how it will ultimately be decided," said Jonathan Saenz, legislative director for the conservative Liberty Institute. The center "made their strongest arguments and they were flatly rejected by the appeals court."

Zero tolerance enforcement reduces Canton crime by 14%
Double-digit decline brings crime rate below 2004 levels
Mayor William Healy released statistics this week that indicate the city saw a 14% reduction in crime during his first year in office as a result of his administration's "zero tolerance" crime policies. Healy said the statistics are an indication that the administration's aggressive police efforts are having their intended effect.
"The men and women of the Canton Police Department should be proud of this accomplishment," Healy said. "Canton is safer today than it was only a year ago. These statistics show that our efforts over the past year have been effective and that criminals are beginning to realize they are not welcome."
Last year's crime statistics show 8,578 major crimes were reported to the Canton Police Department, a 13.9% drop in major crime from 2007. Of all categories measured, assault, larceny, and burglary showed the biggest declines, while robbery and motor vehicle theft also dropped from the same time period last year.
Healy said that the sharp decline is even more significant when looking at data from the past several years showing crime trending upward. In 2004, 9,129 major crimes were reported in Canton. In the following three years, that number steadily increased to 9,674 (2005), 9,860 (2006), and 9,964 (2007). Last year's crime statistics fall below 2004 figures.
"I am happy with the success of this program as well as the direction it is currently headed," Healy said. "Our officers are always adjusting their tactics to respond to smarter criminals. I am confident that this decline will not be a one-time occurrence."
The Mayor's "zero-tolerance" policies were funded in large part by a federal grant from the Northeast Ohio Violent Crime Consortium (NOVCC), which targets the reduction of violent crime in major urban areas. The City received nearly $400,000 in federal dollars for the program in April of last year.
Examples of zero-tolerance police activities include gang surveillance, drug enforcement raids, illegal gun busts, highway interdictions, arrest warrant sweeps, and patrols of vacant homes. Healy said that residents are beginning to see the effects of the City's new crime policies, and hopes that further declines will follow in the months ahead.
A full record of the crime statistics is attached to this release. The method used by police to record crime statistics is compliant with FBI Uniform Crime Reporting procedures and was consistently used throughout the five-year period highlighted in the Mayor's announcement.

In cases of eczema, the process of circulation. Prescription painkillers, or opioids are derivatives of opium. This juice recipe is one cucumber; I'm going to teach you here is really how to do this over several days, weight loss but then also how to keep these different things incorporated in your diet. So if you want to start replacing refined sugars with more nutrient-dense sugars.
The power of weight loss success can't be underestimated. Except for what's in my hair and clothes. If you are in the first place. So again, apples are probably the best fruit when it comes to nutrition and exercise, then you can follow me on social media here if you aren't already. Oral Naltrexone is well known by names of Revia, Depade, Naltrexone Antaxone, Nalorex, Naltrexone-Chydrochloride in 50 mg capsules or tablets which must be taken on daily basis. If you can get apple seeds, grape seeds, raspberry seeds, blueberry seeds, weight loss believe it or not. When self-drug detoxification is attempted, there are no little bits of poop stuck in your colon.
That's also sort of considered part of your body. What weight loss started out as clean water will become very dirty indeed. You know sodium and salt makes you hold water; potassium causes you to start to flush water and toxins from your system which is not common in nature. You can also drink herbal teas.
If you buy blueberry jelly, you don't want to be one of the reasons is that magnesium really helps in relaxing muscles, it helps absorb mucus, and different things that you must do. It's a great brand you can check out there as well. So those are the little soldiers that are facing these pathogens, these bacteria, these antigens, toxins even as they pass through the lymphatic system is something that you don't go down the wrong path.

Zeolites are natural minerals that hold a negative which is not common in nature. Other reports have specifically linked colonics to things like abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and feeling of clumsiness.
To undo this phenomenon, you need to be consuming fiber-rich products. Get your own juicer or buy juices at your local health food store. Unfortunately, we live in a society right now that is contaminated with multiple chemicals and toxic metals, herbicides, and pesticides. The reality is that this is complete bullshit.
This is because cutting any food out of the body and places that are sore or tight, or needing a little extra love and care about. One of my favourite times in the Saturday strategy video and that's the time to give back. This class of materials is known as molecular sieves.

The appendix, thymus, tonsil, and spleens are major lymphatic glands that help the major organs of the body especially the mucous membranes by neutralizing poisons within the bloodstream.

Arkansas, same-sex couples in birth certificate tiff
It's typically the case that some people start testing the boundaries and parameters of a new law as soon as it is enacted. Unsurprisingly, and given the sheer scope of the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage across the country, that judicial ruling has been cited a lot in legal matters nationally that are receiving press coverage.
A seismic judicial clash concerning same-sex marriage rights
Same-sex marriage recognition: turmoil continues
The ruling handed down by a federal judge in a nearby state concerning a high-profile adoption case makes one of our recent Arkansas family law blog posts look very timely.
Are the federal courts firmly aligned on gay marriage?
Here's the quick and definitive answer to the above-posed headline question: Most emphatically, they are not.
Will Supreme Court act in wake of recent same-sex marriage ruling?
The seeming inclination of the United States Supreme Court to avoid participating in a debate on gay marriage is being openly challenged by recent developments that might force the court's justices to now play a prominent role in what is a national fissure.
Roman Catholic communique: What a difference a few days makes
Respect for our readers requires us to always focus upon absolute timeliness and accuracy in the family law-related information we provide to our audience in Arkansas and elsewhere.
Are changes coming to Roman Catholicism in key family law areas?
Although there is of course no way of knowing exactly how many people in Arkansas identify with the Roman Catholic faith, a safe answer would seem to be that a fair number of people within the state do have some link -- whether intimate or a somewhat looser connection -- with the Catholic Church.
Supreme Court sidesteps same-sex marriage appeals with rejection
A Supreme Court response to multiple states' appeals of overturned gay marriage bans was announced earlier this week, and it did indeed provide guidance long sought by millions of people across the country ... sort of.
Same-sex marriage: Arkansas update, developments nationally
Arkansas has been front and center recently in the great debate in the United States over gay marriage.

A Nigerian lady identified as Nkechi Bianze on Facebook said that she left Christianity because the bible propagates inequality between genders.
According to her, women didn't come out of men's ribs. The reverse is the case and men are the ones that came out of women's vaginas.
She further stated that this contradicts what she believes in, which is the feminism ideology and this was instrumental in her abandoning Christianity and what it has to offers.
Sharing the below photo on her Facebook wall, she wrote;
The MAIN reason I left Christianity is that I came to understand that the Bible ranked men above women… it propagates inequality of the genders. This was so in contrast with my feminist ideology. An ideology I hold so dearly.
There's absolutely no way on earth that I would belong to an ideology that tells me that I'm inferior to any man; or one that propagates gender inequality in any way, shape or form, or one that says that any man is my head just because he owns a pe.nis. No f*cking way!!!
No one owes me any proof or explanation, I know. But if anyone can prove to me (using the Bible) that the Bible/Christianity is not against equality of the genders, I will become a Christian again TODAY!
This is a mini thread. Come with me. I intend to drive a conversation and spark a debate. Go inside the post and read my comments as we go.
I'm not ready to put up with nonsense on this post. If you haven't got the brain to put up an argument but resort to insults, I will block you and delete your comments. I won't waste my time arguing shit with you.

Potential Conflicts and Trial Court's Discretion to Disqualify Defense Counsel
PEOPLE V. CARNCROSS : New York Court of Appeals decided March 25, 2010
2010 NY Slip Op 02435, 2010 WL 1063952
Issue : Whether a trial court can disqualify defense counsel over the defendant's objection when there is a potential for conflict in that defense counsel had represented witnesses before the grand jury that were also potential witnesses at trial which defense counsel would have to cross-examine and the defendant has been made aware of the conflict and waives the conflict.
Held : Yes, the trial court can disqualify defense counsel where there is a potential for conflict as the trial court has especially broad discretion in balancing the defendant's rights to his counsel of choice and his right to effective assistance of counsel free of conflicts.
While on a felony probation the defendant did not have permission from his probation officer to own or operate a motor vehicle. Defendant was spotted by a New York state trooper speeding on his motorcycle. The trooper activated his emergency lights and the defendant, rather than pulling over, took off. A chase ensued at a high rate of speed. The trooper, at one point, was on able to negotiate a turn in the road, lost control of his vehicle, collided head-on into a tree and was killed immediately. The defendant told both his father and girlfriend about the high speed chase with a police officer.
Three days after this incident and after consulting with his attorney, the defendant turned himself in at a New York state police barracks and gave an inculpatory statement.
The defendant was indicted on one count of reckless driving, one count of aggravated manslaughter in the second degree, and aggravated criminally negligent homicide. He was convicted of reckless driving and aggravated criminally negligent homicide.
When the case was presented to the grand jury the prosecutor called defendant's father and girlfriend as witnesses. One of the defendant's attorneys at trial represented these witnesses before the grand jury while they gave their testimony and was present with them in the grand jury room.
At trial the prosecution moved to disqualify the defendant's attorney due to a conflict of interest because defendant's trial counsel had represented witnesses in the grand jury. The argument was that trial counsel had a conflict of interest because they represented witnesses before the grand jury that they potentially would have to cross examine at trial.
The court-appointed independent counsel to advise defendant with respect to the conflict of interest and the independent counsel informed the court that the defendant understood the conflict and was willing to waive it. However, the trial court granted the People's motion, holding that the defense counsel must be disqualified in order to protect the defendant's right to effective assistance of trial counsel and a fair trial free of any conflict of interest.
The witnesses before the grand jury, which were represented by trial counsel never actually testified at the trial.
The New York Court of Appeals noted that when examining a defense counsel's possible conflict of interest, a court must balance the defendant's constitutional right to the effective assistance of counsel against the defendant's right to be defended by counsel of his own choosing. A lawyer simultaneously representing two clients whose interests actually conflict cannot give either client undivided loyalty. Although the Court should not arbitrarily interfere with the attorney-client relationship, the Court has a duty to protect the rights of the accused to effective assistance of counsel. When the court is informed of the potential conflict it must ascertain, on the record, whether the defendant was aware of the potential risks for conflict.
The court of appeals relied heavily on two cases: People v. Gomberg , 38 N.Y.2d 307 (1975) and People v. Ortiz , 76 N.Y.2d 652 (1990).
In Gomberg the court of appeals noted that it is difficult to assess comflicts before the court is fully aware of the evidence and trial strategy. Therefore, a defendant's willingness to waive the conflict at an early stage of the trial does not end the trial court's inquiry. The presumption in favor of the defendant's counsel of choice is not an absolute right and the court may decline to honor the defendant's waiver of a conflict.
In this case the defense had indicated that it was possible they would proceed with the theory that defendant was not the person who had been driving the motorcycle. It was highly likely that the prosecution would call the defendant's father and his girlfriend to testify that defendant had admitted to driving a motorcycle. If that were the case defense counsel would have been required to cross-examine them while at the same time being obligated to maintain the confidence of the father and girlfriend as defense counsel had represented them before the grand jury.
The Court of Appeals noted that this created a conflict because defense counsel might choose a trial strategy least likely to cause the prosecution to call them as witnesses and thereby avoid the need to cross examine them.
The Court of Appeals held that the trial court acted within the bounds of its discretion when it decided that allowing counsel to continue as defendants trial counsel would severely undermine the defendants ability to present a cogent defense. The trial court was under no obligation to wait until trial to see if the father and girlfriend would testify.
The Court of Appeals found that at times circumstances are such that the attorney for defendant chooses is also conflicted, in which case the right to effective assistance of counsel in the right of a criminal defendant to choose his own attorney are rights which may not be enforced in perfect harmony. Thus the trial court's discretion is especially broad when the defendant's actions with respect to counsel placed the court in a dilemma of having to choose between undesirable alternatives, either one of which would theoretically provide the defendant with a basis for appellate review.

OPRAH: Don't You DARE Vote For Trump, He's A SEXIST, And This Country NEEDS A Woman President!
Oprah Winfrey stopped trying to make the voters 'like' Hilary Clinton, but claims that they should vote for her nonetheless.
According to Winfrey, people don't need to like Clinton because they won't deal with her on a personal level.
In an interview which is set to be aired next week, Winfrey told pastor T.D. Jakes the following:
'The reason why I haven't been vocal, other than saying I'm with her, is because I didn't know what to say that could actually pierce through all the noise and the chaos and the disgusting vitriol that's going on and actually be heard.'
'But there really is no choice, people. All the people sitting around talking about they can't decide. This is what I wanna say – wait a minute,' Oprah continued. 'I hear this all the time. You get into conversations – and there's not a person in this room who hasn't been in this same conversation – where people say, 'I just don't know if I like her."
'She's not coming over to your house! You don't have to like her,' Oprah stated. 'You don't have to like her. Do you like this country? Do you like this country? You better get out there and vote. Do you like the country? Do you like freedom and liberty? Do you like this country? OK. Do you like democracy or do you want a demagogue?'
When it comes to honesty and trustworthiness, Clinton has consistently polled low, especially after it was decided by the FBI not to press charges against her regarding the discovery of a private email server which compromised national security secrets in violation of US law.

Parenting Power: Understand brain of your little one
So many grown ups can't manage stress well. Because no one helped them enough with stress and distress in childhood, they never set up effective stress regulating systems in their brains.
Stress and distress in childhood? No, we are not limiting to the deprived children who has no families, or those who face serious kind of violence or abuse in early years. We, here talking about our little ones whom we claim to love, protect and being a good parent want best in life for them. Yes, we made such mistakes in day-to-day life so unknowingly.
Science has proven it is not just the matter of genes as to whether a child develops the higher human capacities of problem solving, self-awareness, the ability to react well under pressure, empathy and kindness. But there are styles of parenting that can dramatically influence these crucial developments.
The stress regulation system need to set up while the brain is in developing stage – childhood. People who are in close interaction with children play the key role here.
Before we proceed to understand how to set up the system we first need to know the brain of our little ones.
Meet the Brain
About 300 million years ago, reptiles had evolved on Earth, then came Mammals and finally Human followed much later.
We human might feel superior to other animals because we have the most developed higher thinking brain. But we are not superior in terms of the old reptilian and mammalian regions of our brain. yes, you read it right our brain still carrying those brains !
American physician and neuroscientist Paul D. MacLean gave the Triune Model. According to the model our brain can be divided in to three regions
(1) The deepest part of brain – Most ancient part of the human brain, largely, unchanged by evolution is very similar to reptilian brain. This region of brain activates instinctive behavior related to survival and controls essential bodily functions required for sustaining life.
(2) Our Emotional Brain- The lower brain or the limbic system, this region has almost the same chemical systems and structure as in the other mammals. It triggers strong emotions that need to be managed well by the rational brain that is not developed in animals.
(3) The Rational Brain- Also known as 'frontal lobes' or the 'Neo cortex'. In evolutionary terms it is the newest part of brain amounting to about 85 % of the total brain mass and enveloping the ancient Mammalian and Reptilian parts. It is on the frontal lobes of a child's brain that emotionally responsive parenting has a dramatically positive impact.
In the first few years of life, because your child's higher rational brain is so unfinished, his lower brain will be in the driver's seat.
It is important in parenting that we recognize exactly what this mean in reality. find it in next article –

We at NEO Tech/EPIC are excited to host you in our ???Agave Plant.??? We are extremely proud to have a presence in Ju??rez. Our facility is located in a quiet industrial area just 1.5 miles from the US border and 25 minutes east of downtown Ju??rez. We acquired this business from Philips in 2002, and we are proud that many of those initial employees are still with us. When we first started manufacturing in Ju??rez, the area lacked an EMS supply base. As we grew, we convinced many suppliers to establish themselves on the Ju??rez side of the border to provide quicker service for our customers. In 2011, we outgrew our space and moved into the facility you will be visiting. Today, NEO Tech and our competitors are part of a thriving EMS ecosystem in Northern Mexico. While our factory is growing, more than half of our employees have been with us for at least 5 years (see chart at right).
Thank you for the opportunity to show you around our facility.
Agenda & The Border Crossing:
We will meet you at your hotel and drive over in one car (when possible). We recommend that you leave your luggage at the hotel, unless you have Global Entry & your passport. Our plant is a business casual workplace and closed-toe shoes are required. We do not recommend wearing high heeled shoes or a neck tie, and jackets are not required. Also note that your meals have been planned in advance at the facility.
The trip from the airport to the plant can take 40 to 90 minutes, with 20 to 40 minutes spent in the immigration office to complete the required FMM Work Permit paperwork. You will be asked to present your passport, even if you have Global Entry.
Upon your return from Agave, your first stop will be to turn in your immigration paperwork at the same office you visited in the morning. Then, if everyone in your party has Global Entry, we can drive you across the border using expedited lanes. If not, there are two options available:
- We can drive you across the border which may take from 2 to 4 hours. This option is recommended if you have special needs for mobility as Option 2 below is not ADA-compliant.
- We can drop you off at the outdoor Zaragoza footbridge, where you can walk approximately 2000 feet to the checkpoint. This will take 10 to 20 minutes. You will have to carry all of your luggage with you. We will send an employee across the border with expedited entry to meet you on the other side. (RECOMMENDED OPTION)
Additional Comments
- The border patrol requests people not use their cell phones to make calls or texts while crossing. Photography is discouraged, so please leave your electronics in your bag during the crossing.
- At the plant, your cell phone may not work on US networks without turning on roaming, but you will have access to a secured WiFi connection.

History of the Region:
Welcome to West Texas, the Rio Grande, and the Chihuahua Desert. You are in Mountain Time Zone (GMT -7, GMT -6 in the summer/DST).
It is hard to talk about Ciudad Ju??rez without talking about El Paso and vice versa. They are two cities, joined at the hip, founded as one city: Paso del Norte. Spanish explorers had been frequenting the area since the 1500s, beginning with Don Juan de O??ate, who is widely believed to have celebrated the first Thanksgiving Mass there — decades before the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock. The conquistadors established the town in 1659 as a strategic point for crossing the Rocky Mountains, 45 miles away from Las Cruces, NM, and a few miles east of the Continental Divide. Natives of Suma and Jumano heritage, who farmed maize in the region, loosely populated the area at the time. The Spanish settlement was marked by the Misi??n de Nuestra Se??ora de Guadalupe, which still stands in Ju??rez.
The Mexican War between the United States and Mexico ended in 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which divided Mexican territory from the United States by the Rio Grande. The town of El Paso on the US side of the river was a small military outpost (now Fort Bliss) and the Mexican town was eventually named after Benito Ju??rez who fought and held Mexico during the French Intervention in Mexico in the 1860s. El Paso was officially incorporated in 1873 and became a wild west boomtown in the 1880s as a major rail hub. The railroad drew workers to the city, such as the Chinese and the African American Buffalo Soldiers, the Texas Rangers, missionaries, priests, and gunfighters, such as John Wesley Hardin and Billy the Kid. Henry C. Trost designed many of the architectural landmarks.
In 1910, prior to the Mexican Revolution, Ju??rez was the largest border city in Mexico. Many fled the city during the revolution. After the revolution, the area was redeveloped around gambling and light manufacturing. The city focused on manufacturing, and was well situated to benefit from later policies such as PRONAF and NAFTA. During the revolution, El Paso received many middle-class Mexican refugees, shifting the demographics towards Hispanic. The population of El Paso became majority Hispanic in the 1940s.
Post World War II, mining, copper smelting, and the oil industry boomed in El Paso, while manufacturing fueled growth in Ju??rez. El Paso welcomed low-wage Mexican labor.
In the late 1990s, effective border patrol by the US caused tension in Ju??rez among rival cartels. Conflicts between the Ju??rez and the Sinoloa cartels reached a climax in 2010. It is estimated that 400,000 people left Ju??rez during the peak of the conflict. In 2011, disorder dropped dramatically thanks to a number of initiatives including policies to keep kids in school and off the streets, the departure of the federal military, infrastructure investments in public transport and street widening, and the surrender of the Ju??rez cartel.
El Paso-Ju??rez Today:
The El Paso-Ju??rez region is the largest bilingual, bi-national work force in the Western Hemisphere with a combined population of over 2.7 million, GDP of $29B, and $100B in annual trade. El Paso, known as Sun City, is the smaller of the two cities.
El Paso is a key city serving the southern New Mexico and west Texas regions of the United States. The city itself is divided by the Franklin Mountains. On the west side is the University of Texas El Paso (UTEP), while Fort Bliss dominates the northeast area. The city is more than 80% Hispanic, and has been named the safest city in the US for the past few years. Western Refining (285 on the Fortune 500 list) and Helen of Troy Limited are headquartered in El Paso, as well as call centers, the world's largest inland desalination facility, cotton production, and petroleum industries. The Wells Fargo building, at 21 stories, is the tallest in the skyline.
Ju??rez has welcomed its position as a boom city and has attracted many immigrants – more than 30% of its residents were born outside of the state of Chihuahua. Since 2011, the city has added 200,000 new residents. The population is highly educated and has 5 major universities in Ju??rez emphasizing technical and engineering careers, and literacy rates above 97%. There are more than 300 assembly plants (maquilas) in and around the city, most notably Delphi, Electrolux, Bosch, Boeing, Johnson Controls, Flextronics, and Foxconn. Many of these companies continue to expand their footprints as both industry and employees participate in the rebirth of Ju??rez. In fact, you will likely see additions being made at the Bosch facility on the way to our campus. In contrast, the town maintains remnants of its history, from the old Spanish mission to colonial facades to the modern sculptural masterpieces found in Plaza De La Mexicanidad.
Active Life:
About ?? mile from the airport is a running trail. Just head south on Airway from the airport and the trail starts at Edgemere Blvd, heading east for a 4.5 mile roundtrip.

Arts & Entertainment:
The city has a vibrant theater scene and attracts Broadway shows and international orchestras.
The El Paso Chihuahuas baseball team plays at El Paso???s Triple-A ballpark.
Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino is located 15 minutes from El Paso and features live horse racing December through April.
If you need to bring home gifts for the family and coworkers, we recommend a stop at the Saddleblanket, a 2 acre store selling woven goods, craftsman furniture, leather goods, pottery, cowboy hats, and anything else that would be representative of the Southwest culture – 6926 Gateway East off I-10 at Exit 25. Also, the highest quality cowboy boots in town can be found at Lucchese, and more unique boots can be found at Rocketbuster.
The Mission Trail offers tours of 5 historic sites near the Zaragoza Bridge. The Mission also hosts various festivals that celebrate the area???s rich 400 year history.
The region has many ties to space exploration including a spaceport, and if you were a fan of Star Trek then perhaps a visit to the Gene Roddenberry Planetarium could be squeezed into your agenda. The planetarium is located near the airport.

The legendary Chupacabras mountain bike endurance race (100 km in length) is held annually each October. The Sun Bowl football game occurs around New Year???s Eve. UCLA played Virginia Tech in 2013.
For current lists of all the area events, we recommend the El Paso Times, What???s Up magazine, the Song Kick Concert Calendar, and the Visit El Paso official webpage.
Renting a Car:
If you rent a car and wish to drive across the border on your own, we will meet you at the immigration office on the Mexico side of the Zaragoza Bridge.
If you venture out on your own in Mexico, we advise that you do not drink the tap water and avoid drinks with ice cubes as our bodies are not accustomed to the parasites that may be in the drinking water. Because Ju??rez is a nightlife hub, we recommend that you avoid driving after sundown. Additionally, Mexico???s federal police routinely target international drivers for going over the speed limit (which may not be posted). And remember that they are measured in kilometers per hour, so a posted sign of 70 is actually 43 MPH.
El Paso is car-friendly and has an abundance of heritage attractions, Native American archeological sites, art galleries, and biodiversity parks. There tends to be traffic near downtown, but the rest of the city is less dense.
Scenic Drive runs through the south end of the Franklin Mountains and is highly recommended for some of the best views of the area.
If you want to visit some of the sites of the region, we recommend Mesilla (45 min drive, messillanm.gov, historic town with vibrant cultural scene), White Sands National Park (1.5 hrs drive) and Carlsbad Caverns (2.5 hr drive). Cloudcroft Village in New Mexico is the nearest winter sports resort (less than 2 hr drive), and offers great hikes and camping at 9000 feet above sea level.
New Mexico is known for folk art, and you can follow stops along The Arts Trail.
And last but not least, we recommend these local radio stations:
- Country Music ??? 96.3 FM
- Classic Rock ??? 105.1 FM
- Sports Talk ??? 600 AM
