The process of becoming Catholic is formally known as the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) or for children 7-17, Rite of Christian Initiation of Children (RCIC.) It is a gradual process of spiritual formation that includes prayer, sharing, and study and occurs in the context of the parish community. It is intended for adults who are unbaptized and would like to be fully initiated and welcomed into the Catholic Church through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist; or were baptized in another Christian community/tradition* and seek to be received into the full communion of the Catholic Church through the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist; and/or were baptized as Catholics* as infants/children but have not received the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.
*Proof of valid Christian baptism is required (by way of certificate or letter of verification from one's pastor or church of baptism.)
The Four Phases of the RCIA/RCIC
Discerning the call to become Catholic requires time, reflection, and prayer. Presuming at least a one-year commitment, RCIA/RCIC is a four-phase process with special ceremonies between each phase. Participation in all four phases of the process is typical.
Precatechumenate | Catechumenate
1. Precatechumenate (pre-cat-a-cume-men-et): Beginning in August, Inquirers who have decided on the path to becoming Catholic or completing their initiation in the Catholic Church meet weekly on Wednesday evenings with the Director of Faith Formation and a team of parishioners to continue to learn about and discuss the "basics" of Catholic life, prayers, teachings, and worship. Rite of Acceptance Into the Order of Catechumens/Rite of Welcoming occurs at a Sunday Mass in the fall months at the Church of Saint Patrick.
2. Catechumenate: After three to four months, Inquirers begin to attend Sunday Mass as a group or individually. During this phase, Inquirers who are unbaptized become known as catechumens. Inquirers who have been baptized become known as candidates. Following the homily, the group may be "dismissed" to reflect on the Scriptures for that day, discussing their meaning as well as their real-life application. They continue to meet on Wednesday evenings to spend more time with the Scriptures and to learn about Catholic teaching.
Rite of Election | Call to Continuing Conversion (occurs at a special ceremony on the first Sunday of Lent at Epiphany Cathedral in Venice, Florida.)
3. Purification and Enlightenment: The six weeks of Lent are a time of more intense prayer and spiritual preparation for the liturgies of Holy Week, especially the Easter Vigil. Catechumens, now called the elect, and candidates continue to meet on Wednesday evenings and attend Sunday Mass as a group during this phase.
Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist (occur at the Easter Vigil | the Saturday evening before Easter Sunday | at the Church of Saint Patrick.)
4. Mystagogia (mis-ta-go-gia): In the weeks following Easter until Pentecost, the newly initiated, who are called neophytes, may continue to meet on Wednesday evenings to reflect on the experience of Easter, sharing and celebrating their new life in the Church and preparing for full discipleship in the Church.
Sponsors are vital to the RCIA/RCIC process. Beginning in the Catechumenate phase, a Sponsor builds a one-on-one relationship with a catechumen or baptized candidate, serving as a companion, listener, mentor, and prayer; sharing her or his own faith; and attesting to the catechumen or candidate's faith, intentions, and readiness for reception.
Church law requires that a sponsor must be a fully initiated, practicing Catholic who is at least 16 years old and is in good standing with the Catholic Church. Sponsors typically are assigned by the Parish. It is recommended, but not required, that sponsors be St. Patrick's parishioners. Catechumens and candidates may request that a Catholic friend or colleague be assigned as their sponsor. Parents and significant others/spouses may not serve as sponsors. At the Rite of Election, the sponsor assumes the role of Godparent for one who is called to baptism at Easter. In a few situations, it may be another individual who becomes the Godparent.
Sponsors are assigned early in the process and attend the special ceremonies of each phase of the process with their catechumen or candidate. Sponsors also are asked to be present at meetings on Wednesday evenings and at Sunday Mass with their catechumen or candidate as often as they are able.
The Church of Saint Patrick invites parishioners to consider serving as sponsors or assisting the process in other ways (for example: hospitality, prayer, dismissal and/or small group facilitation.)
Adult Confirmation Only
There is a separate process of preparation for active Catholics who have received the sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist as children and now as adults wish to receive the sacrament of Confirmation. Candidates receive the sacrament of Confirmation from the Bishop on Pentecost Sunday at Epiphany Cathedral in Venice, Florida.
Please call the Parish Office at 941-378-1703 Ext309 for application and more information.

For the most complex applications, the FANUC 30 i-B digital control provides the most advanced solutions. This visit to a Swiss bar turner, and a customer-test for the Tornos MultiSwiss lathe, is proof of this. CNC Flexibility and FANUC international service Today, G&Y Leuenberger employs around 40 people in Eschert. Its main markets involve precision engineering, testing equipment, connectors, luxury goods, watchmaking and bathroom fittings. About forty sliding headstock machines, of which 25 are equipped with numerical control, constitute the machine stock of single-spindle lathes "Fanuc digital controls have a strong place in our company, as they bring great flexibility to our production," says Boris Leuenberger at the beginning of our interview. "The introduction of CNC machines has enabled us to reduce repeat work, in order to completely finish the parts on a single machine" explains the young manager. The geographical and cultural proximity of manufacturer Tornos led to the development of a solid partnership between the two companies. Thus, G&Y Leuenberger naturally became one of the test clients for the prototypes of the new high precision turning machines created by the engineering and design department at Moutier. Fanuc Switzerland, which celebrated its thirty-year anniversary last year, immediately became the leading technological support in this agreement. Brice Renggli, Marketing Management and Competitive Intelligence Manager at Tornos SA, highlights the quality of the partnership between Tornos et Fanuc: "For thirty years, Fanuc Switzerland has always supported us in the development of our CNC machines, guaranteeing a seamless service to our customers," he says. Therefore Fanuc, G&Y Leuenberger and Tornos were brought together around the test phase of the MultiSwiss 8x26 n°3 multi-spindle lathe. The multi-spindle lathe is the most productive means of production at G&Y Leuenberger. FANUC motors are subjected to very difficult working conditions in the production chamber of the Tornos MultiSwiss multi-spindle lathe. Note the excellent ergonomics of the lathe, allowing easy access to the work area. The reliability of Fanuc equipment has long been proven, according to Brice Renggli, in addition to an international service that tracks the oldest to the latest machines all over the world. "At international exhibitions, for example, Fanuc provides spare parts for the machines on display and ensures the efficient presence of its technicians at our side," he adds. The beginning of a revolutionary innovation In 2016, Tornos successfully expanded its line of MultiSwiss multi-spindle lathe. Three more would be gradually introduced on the market, the MultiSwiss 6x16, 6x32 and 8x26. The first digit indicates the number of spindles, while the second digit indicates the diameter. These models are enhanced by their very practical ergonomics, a complete integration (charger, pumps, filtration, tray, part extraction), thermostabilisation with a +/-0,5 degree tolerance and a Fanuc 30i-B control. The axes and spindle motors, as well as servo-controls and amplifiers, are all Fanuc. "The consistency of the kinematics in these complex machines is important, as well as the reliability of the equipment and the associated service," adds Brice Renggli. After initial adjustments to the prototype, the MultiSwiss 8x26 lathe n°3 is entrusted to G&Y Leuenberger as a test client. "This is our first multi-spindle lathe and getting started has been much easier than we thought it would," explains Boris Leuenberger. In particular the channel-by-channel programming managed by the TB Deco process is facilitated by the PTO (Path Table Operation) developed by Fanuc. "The eight spindles allow us to accommodate more complex parts, since we have 6 stations fully available for additional operations", says Boris Leuenberger. The series shift is done quickly, so that the machine can work continuously on medium to large series. Received in January 2017, the MultiSwiss 8x26 was fully operational six months later, without any modifications to the hardware. "We had to fundamentally change our organization in order to ensure a continuous 24/7 operation of the multi-spindle lathe," said Boris Leuenberger. MultiSwiss 8x26, multi-spindle interior with motors. "But the results in terms of profitability, surface quality and precision went well beyond our expectations" he said in conclusion. "With Fanuc being a thirty year partner and supplier of our CNC controls, we are guaranteed the highest level of support in our developments, as well as in the monitoring of our products", adds Brice Renggli. Tornos is one of Fanuc's first European customers and, above all, one of the most demanding regarding the complexity of multi-axis kinematics. At the top end of the range of high-performance nano CNCs for complex machine tools, the CNC Fanuc 30i-B is designed to address the most difficult challenges. With more than 300 MultiSwiss multi-spindle lathes sold worldwide, Tornos testifies that Fanuc's control and motorisation, as well as the entire Fanuc organisation, overcomes them fully. FANUC CNC 30 i-B with iHMI for intuitive and extremely user-friendly operation. The CNC series for the most complex requirements The series of FANUC 30i-, 31i- et 32i model B controllers are ideal for complex high-speed precision machines with multi-axis and multi-channel functionality. To meet the needs of different types of users, these controllers combine user-friendly operation with exceptional levels of precision, reliability and efficiency along with high-speed machining in all kinds of machine tools, including lathes, 5-axis machine centres, gear cutting machines or transfer machines. In its optimal version, the CNC 30i-B has 15 channels, for 96 axes including 24 axes and spindles to perform compound milling/turning or turning/milling. Also included are preventive maintenance functions, a Dual Check Safety function, and the crash control 3D Interference Check. Who is Gilbert Leuenberger? Right to left, Boris Leuenberger, Brice Renggli and Sébastien Grillot, Sales Engineer FANUC Switzerland In the middle of the previous century, Gilbert Leuenberger gained his experience at Petermann, one of three companies in Jura, Switzerland at the source of modern high precision turning employing sliding headstock automatics. In 1964, together with his wife, Ruth, he set up his own subcontracting business in a family barn in Eschert, a neighbouring town of Moutier. Promptly, a modern building was established at the entrance of the village, which would continue to expand. During the 1980s, his son Yves took over the company, which adopted the final name G&Y Leuenberger SA, and introduced the first numerically controlled machines. In the 1990s, the first Tornos Deco 2000 high precision turning centre led by a FANUC control, made its way to the factory. Boris Leuenberger, grandson of the founder, did his apprenticeship and completed his bachelor's degree at Tornos, the worldwide manufacturer's heir to the inventors of the Swiss automatic high precision turning machine. After a period in the USA, in 2014, Boris joined G&Y Leuenberger. He was handed the reins of the company's management at the age of 23. A family saga was born. Fanuc Switzerland will support him as it continues to grow.

«I believe, that «The Maids» should be played only by men», Jean Genet said.
The premiere took place in 1988. It is already the first edition of this play now, and tickets are always sold out. The music is an integral part of performances by Roman Viktyuk. You must listen to it patiently, plunge into it… The music flows like a slow flowing stream, which takes the rustle of exquisite costumes and captivating tone of actors' voices into itself. The song «Ils s'aiment» by Daniel Lavoie has become an integral part of the play. This song is the song - emotion, the love song, which captivates from the very first chords.

Sustainable Faber Blinds products feature in new landmark project
Faber Blinds is helping to inspire the next generation of landscape professionals and raise awareness of green infrastructure at the RHS Hyde Hall's new Learning Centre.
The company, part of the Hunter Douglas Group, has supplied solar shading solutions for the £3m new facility. The project is a beacon of sustainability for the construction industry and the significant environmental credentials of the Hunter Douglas product portfolio were instrumental in seeing the Faber system specified.
Part of a multi-million pound investment across a number of the Royal Horticultural Society's sites in the UK, the centre will help children to develop their understanding and experience of growing fruit & vegetables, cooking them and generally create an environment for learning. It will significantly improve the visitor experience for adults and enable the RHS to share and build expert knowledge by raising the levels of standards, accessibility and interpretation.
Faber's 1800 FTS system has been utilised at the visitor centre. "The specialist high tension 5100 series fabric provides an excellent solar shading solution and has had a very direct cost and saving benefit," explains Mike Foulston, Contracts Manager at Faber Blinds.
"We fitted the shades over the tills and fresh produce area to reduce spoilt goods and enhance customer and operator satisfaction."
Faber 1800 FTS is an efficient and flexible internal motorised blind system that can be used in pitched or horizontal roof light windows.
The hardware of the blind can be fully enclosed in a square head box and there is a choice of various side channels to suit all applications. The system is especially suitable for installation in a concealed recess or above a ceiling when provision is made for this at the design stage of a project, so that the blind can be fitted in such a way that it is only visible when lowered.
Faber 1800 FTS can be used for both large and small windows, but the system has been specifically designed for large areas of glazing with each blind capable of covering an area up to 4000 x 6000 mm.
Located in the Hilltop Garden on the site of the existing grain barn, the Learning Centre is composed of two flexible classrooms, with a demonstration kitchen in each and an exemplar teaching garden. The rooms will be suitable for a range of groups and ages, including multiple school classes, adult learning courses and public lectures.
"The design is organised around a well-proportioned courtyard to help align the new Learning Centre with the existing buildings on the site," explained a spokesman for architects Cullinan Studio.
"The exciting roof-form responds to the climate and support sustainability by providing protection, collecting rainwater, supporting solar panels, controlling daylight and fresh air."
Faber Blinds, part of the Hunter Douglas group, is internationally recognised for fabricating outstanding solar shading solutions for commercial premises. It offers a wide range of products supplying both internal and external blinds, as well as awnings and brise soleil.
For almost 50 years, Hunter Douglas products have contributed to the sustainable thermal, acoustic and visual appeal of buildings across a wide range of branches and sectors, from trade to industry and from the catering business to government. These products consistently meet the needs of architects, designers and contractors, thanks to Hunter Douglas' intensive collaboration with these parties. – See more at: http://specificationonline.co.uk/news-article/8957/hunter-douglas-sustainable-faber-blinds-products-feature-in-new-landmark-project#sthash.zq8JHBXH.dpuf

Gravibus Ecclesiae - Pope Pius IX - The Papal Library
Gravibus Ecclesiae Encyclical of Pope Pius IX on Proclaiming a Jubilee for 1875 December 24, 1874 To All the Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, Bishops, other Ordinaries in Favor and Communion with the Apostolic See and to All the Faithful in Christ. Greetings and Apostolic Benediction. Moved by the grave calamities of the Church and this age and by the necessity of imploring divine aid, We have never ceased urging Christian people to please God by holy lives, works of penance, and pious supplication. For this purpose We have frequently granted indulgences to encourage true repentance; in this way, the faithful can become worthy of having their prayers graciously accepted by God. When the Ecumenical Vatican Council convened, We decided to do the same so that this grave undertaking might be aided by the prayers of the entire Church to God. Although the Council was suspended because of current calamities, nevertheless We proclaimed that said indulgence remained in effect. Observance of Jubilee Year 2. The year 1875 signifies that sacred period of time which our ancestors and Our predecessors consecrated for the solemn celebration of a universal Jubilee. During tranquil times, the Jubilee year was observed with veneration and piety. It was always considered a year of redemption and grace, remission and indulgences, in which people from all over the world flock to Rome. It always resulted in the salvation of many souls. Circumstances Affecting Jubilee Years 3. When Leo XII opened the Jubilee Year in 1825, it was accepted with such popular fervor that a constant stream of pilgrims arrived in this city throughout the whole year; the splendor of religion, piety, faith, charity, and all sorts of virtue shone in it. Because of the grievous conditions of the times, We had to omit the solemnity of the Jubilee in 1850. We wish that circumstances now were such that We could celebrate happily according to the custom of Our predecessors. Current Evils The difficulties which prohibited Us from opening the Jubilee have even increased. The many evils which afflict the Church include the following: attempts to separate souls from their faith in Christ, corruption of sound doctrine and the spreading of impiety, widespread scandals, the spreading corruption of morals, and the overturning of divine and human rights which could lead to the collapse of undistorted thinking. With such a collection of evils, We must see to the following: that faith, religion, and piety be defended and prosper; that the spirit of prayer be widely fostered; that those who have lapsed be aroused to repentance; that sins, which have deserved the wrath of God, be averted by holy works. Since the Jubilee is principally directed to these concerns, We thought that we should not allow the Christian people to be deprived of this salutary benefit, at least in that form which the condition of the times permits. Purified of their sins, they may more readily acquire divine favor and grace. Announcement of 1875 Jubilee Year 4. Therefore We proclaim to the exaltation of the Church, to the sanctification of the Christian people, and to the glory of God, a universal Jubilee to last for the entire year of 1875 soon to begin. In view of this Jubilee We suspend the above mentioned indulgence conceded on the occasion of the Vatican Council; instead, We open that heavenly treasury of indulgences which is entrusted to Our dispensation. Requirements for Indulgences 5. God has granted Us the power to grant indulgences to all the Christian faithful who are truly penitent and have confessed their sins and have been refreshed by holy Communion along with one of the following: either devoutly visiting the urban basilicas of Sts. Peter and Paul, St. John Lateran, and St. Mary Major at least once a day for fifteen continuous or interspersed days whether natural or ecclesiastical, that is, computing from first vespers of one day to the full evening twilight of the next day; or, devoutly visiting once a day for fifteen continuous or interspersed days their cathedral or principal church and three other churches of the same city or place or in its suburbs as designated by the Ordinaries, their vicars, or others delegated by them. There they should pray for the prosperity and exaltation of the Catholic Church and this Apostolic See, for the extirpation of heresies and the conversion of all in error, and for the peace and unity of the whole Christian people. All who fulfill these requirements may obtain once during 1875 the fullest indulgence, with remission and pardon for all their sins. These same indulgences may be applied to the departed souls. Exemptions from Conditions for Indulgence 6. As for those at sea or journeying, they may obtain the same indulgence when they return home or elsewhere when they have fulfilled the above mentioned conditions and have visited the same number of times the cathedral or principal church or the parish church of their domicile or place of sojourn. Ordinaries may dispense with the prescribed visits in the case of nuns, oblates, and other girls or women living either in monastic cloister or in other religious or pious houses and communities; anchorites and hermits; others, whether laity or secular, in prison or captivity or prevented by some bodily infirmity or other impediment from carrying out the above mentioned visits. They may also dispense young people who have not yet made their first Communion from the condition of Communion. Instead, they may prescribe other works of piety, religion, or charity in place of the visits or the sacrament of Communion mentioned above. Priests, sodalities, confraternities, universities, or colleges and those visiting their churches in procession can validly reduce the number of these visits according to their prudent judgment. Confessors 7. Moreover, in the case of cloistered nuns and their novices, We grant them permission to choose for themselves for this purpose any confessor approved by their Ordinary for hearing the confessions of nuns. The rest of the faithful may choose for this purpose any priest approved for hearing the confessions of the laity by the Ordinaries themselves. And by the same authority, We grant to these confessors the right to absolve, within the said year, all those who came to confession to them, who seriously desire to gain the present Jubilee indulgence, and who have fulfilled the other requirements for obtaining it. On this occasion and in the internal forum of conscience only, they may absolve from excommunication, suspension and other ecclesiastical sentences and censures a iure or ab homine, no matter for what reason they were passed or inflicted even by Ordinaries, Ourselves or the Apostolic See, and also in cases which are specially reserved to the above and which are not otherwise understood to be granted in any ample concession. They may also absolve from all sins and excesses, however grave and enormous, even those reserved to the same Ordinaries, to Ourselves, and to the Apostolic See, as indicated above. However a salutary penance and whatever else is called for by law should be imposed. They may also commute to other pious and salutary works any vows, even those which are public and reserved to the Apostolic See. The only exceptions are vows of chastity, religion, and obligation which were received by a third party or which prejudice the rights of a third party, and also penalties which are labelled praeservativa a peccato, unless the commutation is judged to be of such a nature that it will prevent sin no less than the previous matter of the vow. They may also validly dispense penitents in sacred orders, and even religious men, from any hidden irregularity to the exercise of that order and the acquisition of higher orders, provided the irregularity has been contracted by the violation of censures. 8. We do not intend, however, by this letter to dispense from any other irregularity, whether public or hidden, nor from any defect, infamy, or any other inability or unfitness however contracted, nor to grant any faculty of dispensing beyond those mentioned, of making one suitable, or of returning one to a former state, even in the internal forum of conscience; nor to alter the apostolic constitution with its appropriate declarations of Benedict XIV, Sacramentum poenitentiae, 1 June 1741, in the first year of his pontificate. Nor do We intend in any way to reinstate by this letter those who have been excommunicated by name by Ourselves and the Apostolic See or any prelate or ecclesiastic judge, nor those who have been suspended, nor those who have fallen under interdict, nor those who have been declared to have incurred other sentences and censures, nor those who were publicly denounced, unless within the year, they have made satisfaction and, where necessary, have been reconciled with the persons concerned. Other Unusual Circumstances 9. Moreover, if anyone sets out to obtain the indulgence but dies before completing the required number of visits, if he is truly penitent and has confessed and received holy communion, We grant him the indulgence anyway. If, more over, after having obtained absolution from censures or commutation of vows or the aforesaid dispensations, anyone changes his intention of obtaining the indulgence, although he can scarcely be considered from this very fact to be free from the pain of sin, still We declare that the absolutions, communications, and dispensations which he has obtained with the above-mentioned disposition persist in force. 10. Moreover, We decree that this present encyclical is valid for all places. It applies to all Christians in favor and obedience with the Apostolic See dwelling in these places, even if they return to them afterwards from sea or land journeys. This encyclical is valid notwithstanding the following: decrees granting indulgences ad instar and other decrees of the Apostolic See or of universal, provincial, and synodal councils; general or special reservations of absolutions, relaxations, and dispensations; statutes, laws, usages, and customs of any mendicant or military order, congregation or institute even such as have been confirmed by vow, by apostolic approval, or by any other backing; privileges, indults, and apostolic letters granted to the above, especially those which expressly forbid a professed religious of any order, congregation or institute of this nature to confess their sins to a confessor who is not a member of their own religious family. For this time and for the purpose We mentioned, We fully abrogate all of the above even if for their proper modification they and their entire tenor must be specifically, expressly, and individually mentioned or if another special form must be employed for this purpose. Tenors of this kind are regarded as included in this abrogation. Such forms are considered as most exactly observed. Inform the Faithful 11. On behalf of the Apostolic office which We administer and the solicitude with which We embrace the entire flock of Christ, We propose this salutary opportunity of obtaining forgiveness and grace. We earnestly beg and beseech all Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, Bishops, other Ordinaries, Prelates and those legitimately exercising ordinary jurisdiction where a bishop or prelate of this nature is lacking who have favor with the Apostolic See, in the name of Jesus Christ, to announce to your faithful this great good. Strive that all the faithful, reconciled to God by penance, direct the grace of the Jubilee towards the profit and advantage of their souls. Thus it will be your principal care that having first implored God to fill the minds and hearts of all with His light and grace, the Christian people be directed to receive the fruit of the Jubilee by opportune instructions and admonitions. They should understand that the nature of a Christian Jubilee is for the good of souls. In a spiritual way, those goods are most abundantly fulfilled every fiftieth year, according to the ancient Jewish law. They should also be taught the force of the indulgences and what is necessary for a fruitful confession of sins and for receiving piously the sacrament of the Eucharist. 12. Your labor as well as your example is required so that the faithful grow spiritually; therefore inspire your priests to work toward this also. They would set a good example if they first renewed the spirit of their holy vocation. Current Evils 13. Today, there are many evils which must be corrected, and many good things which must be promoted. See that your people may come to detest the enormous crime of blasphemy which violates everything these days. Also, by observing the laws concerning keeping holy feast days and fast and abstinence, they may carry out their duties, thus avoiding the punishments which contempt of these things involves. Safeguard clerical discipline and care for the proper education of the clergy. In every way possible help beleaguered youth, which is exposed to so much danger. Christ hated this type of evil so much that He spoke the following words against its perpetrators: "whosoever scandalizes one of these little ones who believe in Me, it would be better for him to have a millstone placed around his neck and be put in the sea".(1) Encourage Charity 14. Charitable works of all kinds should be exercised more fervently in a Jubilee year. Therefore, encourage almsgiving to assist the poor as sacred scripture recommends. Support especially those pious institutes which are most conducive to the well-being of souls and bodies. God will bestow heavenly gifts upon those who do so. Advice to Clergy Personally 15. Finally We exhort each of you to utilize this occasion to acquire the grace of the Jubilee. If ever before, certainly now it is most necessary to cleanse your consciences from dead works, to offer sacrifices of justice, to produce worthy fruits of penance, and to sow in tears so that you may reap in joy. The divine Majesty has given abundant signs of what He asks of us, since for a long time now we labor because of our wickedness under his punishment, under the breath of the spirit of His anger. Truly "men are accustomed when they suffer any enormous difficulty to send ambassadors to neighboring peoples for help. We, as is better, send ambassadors to God"; therefore let us implore help from Him, let us turn to Him with hearts, prayers, fasts and almsgiving. "For the nearer we are to God, the further our adversaries are repelled from us".(2) 16. Listen carefully to those of you who labor and are heavily burdened and those who, wandering from the pathways of salvation, are burdened beneath the yoke of evil desires and enslavement to the devil. Do not disdain the riches of the goodness, patience and benignity of God; and, while such an easy means of obtaining pardon is offered to you, do not by your contumacy render yourselves inexcusable before the divine Judge, thereby piling up wrath for your selves. Return from prevarication to wisdom, be reconciled with God. The world and its concupiscence is transitory; therefore, reject the works of darkness, put on the arms of light, and cease being enemies of your souls. Then you may win, at last, peace in this world and the eternal rewards of the just in the next. 17. These are Our dearest wishes; We do not cease asking them of our most clement Lord. If all Our sons in the Catholic Church join with Us in this prayer, We are confident that We will bountifully acquire these good things from the Father of Mercies. 18. As a guarantee, meanwhile, of all grace and heavenly blessings for the happy and salutary fruit of this holy work, We lovingly bestow from the depths of Our heart, the Apostolic Blessing on all of you, venerable brothers, and on you, beloved sons, who are enrolled in the Catholic Church. Given in Rome at St. Peter's, 24 December 1874.

👉 For more information about the plugin, visit the documentation website.
A layout builder is a tool that helps you creating visual structures in your page, from a simple layout made by adjacent columns, to more complex compositions. Grids is entirely based on the WordPress block editor, which means that you'll be able to use it together with the myriad of content blocks that developers and designers from all around the World are creating.
With Grids, we're bringing a visual structure to the content written with the WordPress Block Editor.
👉 Sections & areas
A Section is a portion of the page that aims at being visually distinct from the rest of the content. Sections are usually top-level blocks that you add one after the other; the sequence of sections is what makes your page layout.
Each Section that you create is composed by several different Areas. In their most basic form, you can think of Areas as columns, which are nothing else than containers for content blocks.
For more elaborated compositions, the Grid Designer allows you to create exactly the grid structure you want within the boundaries of a Section, by using CSS Grid.

- FIX: Fixed 500 error that occurred when using wide-aligned sections.
👉 1.3.2
- FIX: Changed the grid column declaration to minmax(0,1fr) in order to prevent grid blowout.

Work from or close to home:
With locations in Colorado and Massachusetts, OMH is continuing to expand into states around the country.

LINQ is a front end to CAML so of course CAML is faster, and CAML is a front end to SQL so of course SQL is faster.
However what would be a good test to see where and when to use each of these on a SharePoint site.
I was thinking of processing several huge lists with each on 5 separate pages and using a performance monitor.
But this doesn't seem like the best option, any ideas? Or does someone know what the real overheads are:
This is what I have found so far (Oh and my boss insists LINQ is faster than CAML I have to prove him wrong!)

I work on tactics related to these tactics and technologies, so found it very enjoyable. The real hero of this book, rightly, is Joshua Levine, who started Island. He pioneered paying for flow, where one pays those making markets, and charges those crossing the spread. He was on the bleeding edge in cloud computing, creating more robust infrastructure with a fraction of the budget than his big-time competitors. I know people who dealt with him, and they highlight how thoughtful he was about sharing information back in the day on order strategies, technical stuff that others might guard in a paranoid fashion. Levine thought if his customers could make more money, they would trade more, and this would breed even more liquidity. In other words, a classic business mensch.
There are lots of numbers thrown around, but it's good to remember that electrons move about 1 foot per nanosecond, so there's a basic limit to how fast these things can get. It is true that humans generally take a couple hundred milliseconds to process information and push a button, so clearly computers that can turn around info in a couple milliseconds beat humans in any whack-a-mole game. But all that pico-stuff is pretty silly. Consider the S&P minis futures contracts trades 400k times a day, so every 60 milliseconds (thousandth of a second) represents the highest frequency relevant for any contract. Stocks like IBM trade about once a second. Thus, all that super speed below a millisecond is not for trading so much as 'lining the book', market makers playing games in the queue to provide liquidity. Your average trader should think about this as much as they think about what's going on underground at Disney World.
There's a theme that originally the innovators wanted to cut out the middlemen, but then discovered there were new middlemen. Meet the new boss, as The Who would say. The bottom line is that spreads on big stocks like MSFT and ORCL used to be ¼ in the good old days before ECNs, which allowed lots of traders to make a fortune via their monopoly access to customer flow and the various barriers to competitors. That these specialists are now unemployed should be considered classic creative destruction. I knew several of them; they were lucky while it lasted, and it lasted too long.
The book is a bit light on actual tactics, making some strategies sound a lot more effective than they are. For example, Patterson describes a strategy he calls "0+", that supposedly makes money with zero risk. In fact, this strategy does have risk, because it presumes that you can always exit your position before the queue behind disappears. Often a level gets 'taken out' by an order and so the queue behind you is gone within any possible time to place new order and get out at scratch (pre-fees, I should add). Indeed, the trader plying this strategy is presented later pathetically fishing for 10 minute stock predictors like thousands of other punters, highlighting this was no money pump.
A lot of the conspiracy talk around algorithms presumes a market price reflects 'true value', like the mass of something, and that algorithms are keeping others from it. Market prices approximate value, but a price is really an aggregate compromise, one that almost everyone disagrees with. If you want to buy more, now, you will pay a higher price because you need to convince more people to take the other side. Jehova shouldn't care because 'true value' is unaffected by such concerns, but the market does, and so comparing prices to some assumed point estimate of 'true value' just leads to meaningless disquisitions. If you want to think about such issues just remember all those theologians who wrote about the 'just price' for about one thousand years and whose work is now totally ignored for good reason, to give you a sense of your futility.
The bottom line is that those buyers and sellers with big orders have always moved markets from their 'last price', and in the old days this was all done via a coalition of partners over a phone, but now algorithms sniff out these orders by noting a higher-than-usual buy crossing rate, or sense a really big iceberg limit order, and so basically have expropriated the front-running revenue from the traditional recipient of this value. A large order will move prices so it's going to be exploited, and this is better done competitively via electronic markets than by a specialist with monopoly access to the flow.
There's some funny other stuff in there, like how regulator are pretty irrelevant to all the innovations. Indeed, the regulators appear more interested in protecting the status quo, as George Stigler noted 50 years prior in his work on the industry capture of regulators. Mary Schapiro gets her standard uncritical mention, as she is always presented as the righteous regulator who would have prevented the 2008 crisis if it weren't for Lawrence Summers and his cabal. Her big idea after the flash crash was 'circuit breakers', aka limit price moves. This doesn't help much, as decades of experience with these in futures has shown, though it does 'work' if you merely want to prevent prices from moving more than 5% a day (why not solve the Greek budget deficit by not reporting it?).
The Flash Crash of May 6 2010 included an order to buy 75000 contracts when your average price level had only 5000 contracts there, so it pushed the 'market price' into uncharted territory. Its understandable these things happen, it's a new technology, lots of users, and lots of new emergent properties, most coming down to problems related to idiots placing large 'market orders' that wipe out several 'levels' of prices. I bet the exchanges will figure out a governor in spite of what the SEC does, but such issues are really irrelevant to what caused the crisis of 2008 or the 'Global Financial System.'
Part of a popular work on technical issues seems to involve building up the major players as geniuses, going over their rocket science background. In this case it's like pointing out how every professional football player was an outstanding high school athlete--financial innovators tend to have done well in math and science, so that whole physicist turned financier story isn't rare or intellectually sexy. I suppose that's how to get your hooks into the masses, because people like to read about geniuses.
In spite of the scary title, it's simply a good story of how innovators destroy the old guard. If you are worried about high frequency traders you almost surely trade too much, and would be better focused on asset markets built on things that are truly unsustainable. High frequency traders are very sensitive to cash flow (note Trading Machines shut down pretty quickly after not finding a niche), so they aren't building palaces based on unrealistic expectations like, say, California or or NYU journalism majors.

I just got the new Essie neons and HOLY CRAP! These are BRIGHT!!!!!!!
First, a disclaimer and then the swatches. Since these polishes are neon, they don't photograph true to life. I have not yet found a way to capture the true glow of a neon polish. They do weird things to my camera. I have tried my best to get the colors accurate, but these will look much, much brighter in real life.
I'm trying out different types of lighting for these, and a couple of them turned out pretty good. Some are taken in the shade or in a dark room, so that's why my skin looks grey... No, I am not a zombie. Yet.
Flirty Fuchsia. Neon pink. Sunlight pictures of neons never come out, I don't even know why I bothered. This pink has almost a touch of red to it- it's a deeper pink than Punchy Pink but it's just as bright!
Funky Limelight. Neon highlighter yellow. This is a true highlighter yellow. It's officially my new favorite yellow. This is retina-searingly bright, in fact, it gives me a bit of a headache just looking at it!
Perky Purple. Saturated neon purple. This might actually be my favorite type of color. No matter how many neon purples I own, I just never seem to get sick of them and always find myself wanting more! This is more of a deep purple in real life, but super bright. It's a lot like Essie Bermuda Shorts from last year's neons.
Punchy Pink. Uber-bright neon light pink. This is the lighter of the two pinks, and it seems more on the cool end of the spectrum. These pictures can not possibly portray how cool this polish is. It is ridiculous.
The formula on these is perfect. Thin, pigmented, smooth, totally flawless. I had zero application issues. These are right in line with the Zoya neons formula-wise. In fact, these are even thinner and smoother than the Zoyas, but not as opaque. They are slightly on the sheer side- one coat of polish lays down a lot of pigment but to build intensity you really need three coats. All of these pictures are three coats of polish with one coat of Seche Vite. Since it is the nature of neons to dry matte, you will need a topcoat if you want a glossy finish.
I am going to say it right now: Funky Limelight is the best neon yellow I own. It's the brightest, the smoothest, the least streaky and just plain incredible. Backup-worthy. I don't usually like to choose 'best' products because something better usually comes along, but no, this is THE. BEST. Period.
Overall, I am totally thrilled with these. Yes, these are pretty much your average neons, but they seem a lot brighter than most of the neons I own. The other thing that has me so excited about these is that, hello, they're ESSIE. Neons. Essie. Safe, sheer-pale-pink-nude Essie made these obscenely bright neons. Wrap your brain around that!
I would have liked to see a blue and green to round out the collection, but I can deal with just four awesome shades. I can't even see clearly because of the spots in my eyes from looking at these. It's like looking at the sun. Wicked.

text: The Rosary According to an old tradition the Rosary Prayer was given by Our Lady to St Dominic. Certainly it was a prayer treasured by the Dominican order from its earliest days. Through the rosary these early Dominicans preached and prayed the gospel. The Rosary has been called "the little gospel," as the great gospel stories of the Lord are reflected upon in this prayer. Christ lived among us in order that we might share his way of living. In his life on earth, the relationship between Christ and humanity is best seen in Mary who represents each one of us who are called to work together with the Lord and share in his life, work and glory. In the Rosary we do not think about the events of Christ's and Mary's life in a detached manner but these wonderful mysteries are meditated in prayer. Through our prayer and meditation of the events (mysteries) of the lives of Jesus and Mary our minds are focused on Christ as the saving Lord of everyone in all times. By tradition there are fifteen mysteries or events which are meditated in the Rosary. This ancient form was promoted by the Dominican Pope Pius the fifth, in the sixteenth century. These fifteen mysteries are divided into three groups: The Joyful mysteries, the Sorrowful mysteries and the Glorious mysteries. In 2002 Pope John Paul 2nd introduced a set of five new mysteries called "the Mysteries of Light" (or "Luminous Mysteries") that the Rosary could more completely recount the gospel story. The great attachment of the Dominican brothers to the Rosary can be seen from the fact that old Dominican church in Isfahan was dedicated to our Lady of the Rosary. When the Irish Dominicans came in 1962 they called their first house near the university "Rosary House." Today the St Abraham's Church is the centre of a parish which is titled "the Parish of Our Lady of the Rosary." Praying the Rosary So there are twenty mysteries reflected upon in the Rosary, and these are divided into the five JOYFUL MYSTERIES, (said on Monday and Saturday) the five LUMINOUS MYSTERIES, (said on Thursday) the five SORROWFUL MYSTERIES, (said on Tuesday and Friday) and the five GLORIOUS MYSTERIES. (said on Wednesday and Sunday) How to say The Rosary Making the sign of the Cross, the one who is leading says "O God, come to our aid." All Reply: "O Lord, make haste to help us." 1. Say the "Glory be to the Father." 2. Announce the First Mystery; then say the "Our Father." 3. Say ten "Hail Marys," while meditating on the Mystery. 4. Say the "Glory be to the Father" after the ten "Hail Marys." 5. Announce the next Mystery; then say the "Our Father." Repeat 4 and 5 and continue with Third, Fourth and Fifth Mysteries in the same manner. After the last mystery the following prayers are normally said. HAIL, HOLY QUEEN, Mother of Mercy. Hail our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! [or in Latin: Salve Regina, Mater misericordiae, vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae, ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte; et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.] V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray. O GOD, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Medics demonstrate treating disaster victims via satellite
by the European Space Agency
More articles in SatellitesA major disaster struck southern Germany on Thursday 7 November, claiming numerous victims and cutting the town of Ulm off from the rest of the world. Except all the victims were actually actors and the 'disaster' was really a pre-scripted event.
In reality, Ulm was the site of a full-scale trial of the new DELTASS (Disaster Emergency Logistics Telemedicine Advanced Satellites System) system, developed by a team lead by CNES for the European Space Agency (ESA).
DELTASS uses both geostationary and low earth orbit communication satellites enabling 'top-down' management of emergency workers dispersed across a disaster zone, as well as letting medical experts located hundreds of miles away carry out on-the-spot diagnoses of casualties.
Such a fail-safe communication system for emergency telemedicine greatly multiplies the effectiveness of rescue workers within the affected area, especially as existing communications networks might not have survived.
"A major accident does as much invisible as visible harm," said Francesco Feliciani, DELTASS Project Manager at the European Space Agency. "Apart from the damage to terrestrial communications infrastructure done by the likes of an earthquake or floods, the first thing that becomes unavailable is the cellular network, which quickly gets overloaded. We saw this in the Toulouse chemical factory explosion last year."
Using DELTASS, search and rescue workers entering a disaster area to identify casualties carry PDAs and satellite phones to transmit details of the victims, opening 'electronic patient forms' that stay with casualties throughout their treatment process and can be progressively updated.
First aid and ambulance teams are equipped with Portable Telemedicine Workstations for two-way communication with medical experts at a nearby Medical Field Hospital. Patient data such as ECGs and vital signs can be transmitted along with still images of injuries.
And at the hub of the DELTASS system is this Medical Field Hospital, set up within the disaster area. It is from here that mobile teams' activities are co-ordinated, patients are gathered, treated and their data tracked, and decisions are made about evacuating them elsewhere.
Broadband communication links enhances patient treatment, enabling videoconferencing with hospital staff in another country as well as telediagnosis techniques such as ultrasound.
Francesco Feliciani explained: "Most of all DELTASS allows us to 'follow' each patient from his first contact with the search and rescue team through the quite complex chain of events that characterises the diagnostic and therapeutic intervention, distributed over time and space."
During the DELTASS baptism of fire, a Mobile Field Hospital was placed in Ulm along with three search and rescue teams, a mobile ambulance and a Portable Telemedicine Workstation.
The trial proved a great success, with several actors playing 'victims', relayed by ambulance to the Mobile Field Hospital. A live teleconsultation link was established with a hospital in Berlin, standing in as a second opinion reference hospital.
The DELTASS project commenced in July 2001. ESA worked on it with a number of partners including CNES and the French space medicine institute MEDES.
"DELTASS is an integrated solution where several hardware and software elements are used together" Francesco Feliciani said. "The real challenge was adapting and combining these elements to create a coherent set-up enabling emergency telemedicine.
"Now, following this demonstration, we are negotiating with the DELTASS team to launch a co-funded project to bring it to a real utilisation phase, to be operated by real users for actual emergency cases. We will hear more about this system in coming months!"

The bag can be made with bright stylish cottons, canvas, upholstery fabric, or even a wool. You can choose to include the lining or not. Pockets are very easy to add if you choose.
The base is a quilted piece for extra strength. The closing is a zipper which you can hand sew or use your machine.
You may sell bags made from this pattern on a small handmade scale. I would greatly appreciate credit for the pattern.

WINE is one of those recursive acronyms so loved by geeks, it stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator. So if that's what it is not, what is it? The short answer to that is that it is really an emulator, but not of a complete computer like VirtualBox or VMware. WINE emulates the Windows API, the application programming interface, so that you can run Windows programs on Linux. The programs think they are running on Windows but Wine is providing a translation layer so they actually run on your Linux desktop.
Unlike the virtual machine emulators mentioned previously that emulate a complete computer, this runs a single program, so it is faster and more integrated with the rest of the software you are using. On the other hand, the lack of a complete Windows operating system means that not all programs work with Wine. On the plus side, there's an awful lot that do, including Internet Explorer, Office and many other applications and games. Each Windows application opens in its own windows, just like it would on a Windows desktop, and each one can be moved around on the Linux desktop as if it were a Linux application.
Because the applications are simply using the Wine libraries instead of the standard Windows ones, there is no significant performance hit. In fact, the better efficiency of the underlying operating system, especially as it is not burdened with virus and malware scanners running in the background, means that applications can actually run faster on Wine and Linux than they do natively on Windows.
If one or two specialist applications, or your favourite games, are all that is keeping you from switching to Linux full time, try running them with Wine and you may be able to move away from Windows altogether.
It may not run every windows program, but Wine is still incredibly useful for switching to Linux completely.

LIPA Selects Landis+Gyr for Smart Grid Project on Fire Island
ATLANTA, GA. – June 24, 2013 – Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) has selected Landis+Gyr to deploy advanced metering and smart grid technology on Fire Island, the central island of the outer barrier islands along the south shore of Long Island, as part of a project to enhance service, safety and reliability of the electric distribution system for residents and businesses.
The utility will install Landis+Gyr's Gridstream® RF network – which enables communication with advanced meters, distribution devices and home area network technology – along with 4,500 E-350 FOCUS® AX-SD advanced meters.
Once the system is installed, LIPA will be able to pinpoint outage locations, and have more visibility into distribution grid conditions. The system will also help provide more information to consumers on their energy use, and improve customer service by expediting response to seasonal account changes.
"This project is another example of the tangible benefits an advanced metering solution can deliver," said Gary High, Vice President of Sales at Landis+Gyr. "Gridstream is proven to promote efficiency and reliability of distribution systems, while improving customer service and providing the information to help manage energy better."
Based in Uniondale, NY, LIPA is a non-profit municipal electric provider that owns and operates the retail electric transmission and distribution system on Long Island and provides electric service to more than 1.1 million customers in Nassau and Suffolk counties and the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens. LIPA is the second largest municipal electric utility in the nation in terms of electric revenues, third largest in terms of customers served and the seventh largest in terms of electricity delivered.
