Talking circuit highlights Humanae Vitae during its 50th anniversary
Online Edition
by Sarah DeMott
Humanae Vitae (Of Human Life) affirmed the Church's teaching on the sanctity of life and the richness of the landmark encyclical is often overshadowed by the controversy it caused. In honor of its 50th Anniversary the Diocese is hosting a five-stop speaking tour to explore in depth the teachings and invite discussion.
The Humanae Vitae 50th anniversary talk circuit features Executive Director of Parish Life and Lay Leadership, Jamin Herold and President of Holy Family Healthcare, Deacon Don Bouchard, DO.
"At the time when Humanae Vitae was first released 50 years ago, we were in the throes of the sexual revolution," said Herold. "And now, in the throes of the #metoo movement, with all the conversations about consent, sexual oppression and women's rights, this is an opportune time to renew discussions of what this document was all about and see how the Church can be a witness to the world of what true freedom and love look like."
Dcn. Don Bouchard will offer a medical perspective on the implications of the encyclical on Catholic health professionals, both morally and medically. Other topics that will be covered during the talks include looks at what a real relationship aimed toward the sacrament of matrimony is, how contraception has encouraged a "throwaway culture", the health and relationship benefits of Natural Family Planning methods and more. There will also be time for questions at the end, and an opportunity will be available to submit questions anonymously.
Herold adds that he believes that contraception has become so widely promoted that oftentimes people are unaware of the facts surrounding its usage.
"We're going to take a look at how something that is supposedly freeing for women is actually one of the only cases of medically stopping a physiological normal and healthy process and treating it [fertility] as if it were a disease," he said. "There are lots of ramifications of this and Blessed Pope John VI pdicted them in Humanae Vitae."
To conclude the circuit, Bishop Paul J. Bradley will celebrate Mass on July 25, the 50th anniversary of the release of Humanae Vitae, at 6 p.m. at St. Augustine Cathedral. For more information, contact Jamin Herold, firstname.lastname@example.com.

All the memories that have been carried from the past 2 years are going to stay forever. But will the friends? Some heading to Russia, some to sangli, while some stay here. Oh yes, I definitely am sad but the best part is that they are doing what they love to do. Their entire life is going to be set. It's one of those greatest feeling when you achieve something and have someone to thank for it. Many tears are going to be shed when they head out but the joy they will get after the completion of two years is going to be amazing.
Honestly, I am happy for a variety of reasons but them not being a part of my life everyday is the saddest thing. People move on, people change after a time interval. The good friends that we are now aren't going to be the same friends in the next couple of years down the road.
I'm going to miss everyone a lot. This might just be the end of 1 chapter in our life, but it's not the end of our book (this dialogue is so classy and it fits everywhere :p) . It's the start of a new life, a new journey. Start it with a big smile on your face because I love you all so much.
And 1 thing is for sure, you will miss me no matter what. 😛 kidding! I hope you all ready to set your foot in this new life!! And whatsapp is our bestest friend(if this word exists).
Enjoy! And good luck! And do not cry in front of me! 😦

Using her famous Lenormand cards, mixed with Tarot, Sylvie Steinbach's readings are uncanny, down to Earth and insightful. Her practical sessions deliver psychic input, clear information and spiritual knowledge; furthermore her predictions are meant to be verified within few weeks or months. Sylvie can also act as a medium if needed be, to help cope with the emotional pains associated with the loss of a loved one. Her understanding about karmic lessons and spiritual forces made her into a powerful life coach and Sylvie's clients keep coming back to benefit from her entertaining and amazingly accurate sessions.
Sylvie Steinbach is an established celebrity intuitive with a private practice in Los Angeles for more than 15 years. Although many famous L.A. and N.Y. entertainers have benefited from her guidance over the years, her clients come from all walks of life and many get phone readings from as far away as Australia or Italy. Sylvie released in 2007 the first manual in English on the Lenormand oracle, titled "Secrets of the Lenormand Oracle", a controversial best-seller on Amazon.com/tarot category. She also appeared twice this year as a guest on the show "intuitive perspectives" hosted by Michael Dunlap (Blogtalkradio.com) and amazed listeners, by doing live readings on the air to stunned callers! From actual clients after their readings in 2009:
D. L. Sydney Australia "Hello Sylvie, You may remember me you did a telephone reading for me a few months back. So far your accuracy has been 100%."
B. G. Amsterdam "Dear Sylvie, I heard from G. about your reading. He was very much impressed and advised me to ask you for a reading for myself."
P. S. New York "Hi and thanks for your last answers they appeared so insightful that I wanted further clarification about other matters."
T. B. Los Angeles "Hi Sylvie, It was great to meet you yesterday at the Mystic Journey Bookstore! You are a very gifted reader/psychic"
J. C. Los Angeles "Thank you Sylvie for our reading today- it was most elucidative and helpful to me. I am going to write about you in my blog! I look forward to our next session".
Born in France from an established lineage of Freemasons and gifted psychics, Sylvie inherited the gift to 'see' future events and invisible forces. She started her esoteric studies at the age of 11 and learned Astrology with the Rosicrucians, a turning point in her psychic life as she discovered she could see karmic patterns in natal charts, allowing her to access to information pertinent to past lives, life purpose and the soul's journey. She went on to host a radio show on karmic Astrology in France. She is today an international intuitive and life coach, a worldwide karmic astrologer and Lenormand expert who travels the globe teaching and sharing her knowledge.

La Conchería is a small and friendly seafood specialist in the center of Ensenada. A limited menu offers what's good off the docks that day. We visited in June 2017 because I'd read that percebes were served there. Alas, none available that day, but Chef Roberto said to give him a day's notice to order them next time.
The friendly proprietor encouraged us to try the oysters on the half shell. These are sourced from Sol Azul in El Vizcaino https://www.solazul.com.mx/eng/ . So fresh and extremely salty, these had a fatty texture and concentrated flavor. Too strong for me, but I'm glad I had a chance to try them with the various condiments.
Sashimi of the day was made with carefully trimmed slices of yellowtail dressed with soy sauce, ginger root, black sesame and minced cilantro. Very good quality fish, but again too salty, and I had to blot off some of the soy sauce to make it palatable.
Interested in trying the local abalone, I asked before ordering if the slices were pounded to tenderize them. I was told that it was not necessary as the abalone was tender enough. Gently sautéed slices of abalone were presented with a butter sauce seasoned with soy sauce. These chewy pieces were not what I'd call "tender", and the soy sauce made the flavor monotonous after the sashimi plate.
My michelada was great with finely tuned seasonings and salted rim.
The Bocanegra pilsner the owner recommended was also very fine.
We liked the beverage program here more than the food.

Chippie Adam Bede is in love with the gorgeous Hetty Sorrel, yet unknown to him, he has a rival, within the neighborhood squire's son Arthur Donnithorne. Hetty is quickly attracted via Arthur's seductive appeal and so they start to meet in mystery. the connection is to have tragic effects that stretch a ways past the couple themselves, touching not only Adam Bede, yet many others, now not least, pious Methodist Preacher Dinah Morris. A story of seduction, betrayal, love and deception, the plot of Adam Bede has the standard of an English people track. in the environment of Hayslope, a small, rural neighborhood, Eliot brilliantly creates a feeling of earthy fact, making the panorama itself as important a presence within the novel as that of her characters themselves.

See! " she exclaimed, turning to the left, along with her eyes mounted on some degree above the heads of the folks. "See the place our blessed Lord stands and weeps and stretches out his palms in the direction of you. pay attention what he says: 'How usually may i've got accrued you as a chicken gathereth her chickens less than her wings, and ye wouldn't! ' … and ye could not," she repeated, in a tone of pleading reproach, turning her eyes at the humans back. "See the print of the nails on his pricey fingers and ft. it's your sins that made them! Ah! How light and worn he seems to be! He has undergone all that groovy affliction within the backyard, whilst his soul was once exceeding sorrowful even unto demise, and the nice drops of sweat fell like blood to the floor. They spat upon him and buffeted him, they scourged him, they mocked him, they laid the heavy pass on his bruised shoulders. Then they nailed him up. Ah, what ache! His lips are parched with thirst, and so they mock him nonetheless during this nice soreness; but with these parched lips he prays for them, 'Father, forgive them, for they understand now not what they do. ' Then a horror of significant darkness fell upon him, and he felt what sinners suppose after they are for ever close out from God. That used to be the final drop within the cup of bitterness. 'My God, my God! ' he cries, 'why hast Thou forsaken me? ' "All this he bore for you! For you—and you by no means contemplate him; for you—and you switch your backs on him; you don't care what he has passed through for you. but he isn't weary of toiling for you: he has risen from the useless, he's praying for you on the correct hand of God—'Father, forgive them, for they recognize now not what they do.

And Jesus, who stands able to assist you now, won't assist you then; since you won't have him to be your Saviour, he'll be your pass judgement on. Now he appears to be like at you with love and mercy and says, 'Come to me that you could be have life'; then he'll draw back from you, and say, 'Depart from me into ever-lasting hearth! '" negative Bessy's wide-open black eyes started to fill with tears, her nice purple cheeks and lips grew to become rather light, and her face was once distorted like a bit child's prior to a burst of crying. "Ah, terrible blind baby! " Dinah went on, "think if it's going to take place to you because it as soon as occurred to a servant of God within the days of her vainness.

Tom Dosland is most likely very sore this morning – and rightfully so. Yesterday at jaws was a wild one. It was maxed out, dancing on the border of unsurffable, but that didn't stop 'ol Tommy D here from gong for broke on the beast you see above. It's an agonizing one to watch as he free-falls a good twenty feet from the lip to the face, landing on his side/back. If what happened above the water looked this bad, we can't imagine what the beating after must've felt like. Kudos Tom, hope you're feeling alright and can get back out there soon for revenge.
On the bright side, we'd say you've got the 2016 wipeout award pretty locked up.

After 57 years, the queen's lingerie supplier, Rigby and Peller have been stripped of its royal warrant. The company was founded in London in 1939; June Kenton and her husband purchased the company for $20,000 in 1982 and she started doing fittings for The Queen that same year.
Why was the royal warrant removed? Former owner, June Kenton wrote a memoir where she discussed fittings at the palace. The title of the 82-year-old's book is Storm in D-Cup.
Since proudly sending her book to Buckingham Palace and receiving the snub from the Lord Chamberlin, Mrs Kenton has said it was never her intent to offend anyone: "It is very sad for me that they didn't like it and I'm finding that very difficult to accept. It's horrible and a real shock.
"I never ever thought when I was writing the book that it would upset anyone. I've had the royal warrant for so long I never imagined that this would happen."
In her memoir, Kenton talked about her fittings with The Queen. She would be half-dressed and her corgis would often be present. Kenton also talked about how when she'd do fittings for Princess Diana, she'd accept posters of models in lingerie for her sons whilst they attended Eaton.
Mrs Kenton was adamant that she never discussed anything of a private nature about any of her clients: "I have never discussed anything of a personal nature with any of my clients, and I never would. The book doesn't contain anything naughty," she said.
"But it's a fact I have done work for the Queen, there would be a gaping hole in my autobiography if I didn't mention it.
"I'm coming towards the end of my life, I'm 82, so it is what is it, there is nothing I can do."
Russell Tanguay, director of warrants at the Royal Warrant Holders Association, confirmed yesterday that the Knightsbridge-based retailer had lost its warrant. He stated that companies are granted a window of time in which to remove the royal coat of arms. The coat of arms must be removed from any promotional material and from all shop signs at their seven London locations.
Mrs Kenton doesn't regret writing her autobiography; in fact, she's proud of her life's work.
She added: "It is a personal tale and there is nothing in it which is upsetting, it's a gentle book.
"I can't even begin to explain, I didn't do it with the intention of upsetting anyone. I'm proud of my life and what I've achieved and I simply wanted to share that."
When asked about Rigby and Peller, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: "In respect of Royal Warrants, we never comment on individual companies."

Lesson Plan Two
"I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel."
Students will look at the early years of Lincoln's life in Kentucky and how his exposure to slavery during these formative years shaped his decisions regarding slavery throughout the rest of his life. Abraham Lincoln never forgot his Kentucky roots. Many of his closest friends and trusted advisors were from Kentucky. Students will be introduced to several of Lincoln's Kentucky associates and recognize that each of these Kentuckians had differing views on slavery, thus providing a microcosm of the issues troubling the nation at large.

Mid Week Meditation pt. 41Submitted on: March 15, 2018
"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, bounding therein with thanksgiving." ( Colossians 2:6-7)
Paul lets us know immediately that he is talking to folk who have confessed Christ as their Lord and Savior. Paul is trying to charge up some new Christians in Colossae with a rallying cry pointing the waytoward Christian maturity. Paul wants the Colossians and us to stop resting on conversion and start developing some conviction. In other words, mature to the point we show some sincerity and some passion for the cause of Christ.
The fact is though conversion is good, conviction is better. Conviction represents a more complete possession of our Savior. Conviction means we live in constant contact with Christ. Paul says, if you have received Christ, you've got to "walk in Him." There is nothing hidden in this challenge! There is no deeply hidden theological mystery. He says we have received Christ, so "walk ye in Him!"
That, of course, begs the question, what does it mean to "walk" in Christ? For one thing it clearly warns us that we cannot substitute words for works. In other words there is more to our claim to be a child of God. He is looking for doers not for folk who just "sit in Him." If we are going to talk the talk, we must also walk the walk.
Warning! There are plenty of paths to take, and some are well worn by previous travelers, but that does not make them the right path to take. Jesus said, 'Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it." But Jesus also said, 'Small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it'. (Mathew 7:13-14)
We love to sing, "When we all get to heaven", but it's not just about the destination; it's about the direction. Once we are converted, every precious step we take with Christ is one of revelation and fulfillment. Our salvation is not put on hold until death. It is put into high gear for a miraculous journey. Ephesians 5:2 says we 'walk in love'. 1 John 1:7 says we 'walk in light'. 3 John 4 says we 'walk in truth'. In other words, our relationship with Christ is all about lifestyle. In order to choose the correct lifestyle, our heart has to do the walking.
Careful! Now that we are on the move with Christ, Paul says we have to be grounded in Christ. What Paul is saying here in our text is that we who "have received the Lord Jesus Christ" should want to grow in Christ. Unfortunately the reason so many Christians fall away from the church soon after their conversion is that they don't take the time to become part of the body of Christ. They are like a bunch of cut flowers; beautiful to look at, but unable to sustain any spiritual life because they are cut off from the root, which is the body of Christ. If we want to make progress in our Christian journey, our faith is only as good as our roots. Our roots represent our faith foundation. Our established faith foundation represents what we believe. Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of our foundation. If we begin with Christ, everystep wetake will be grounded in Christ.
There is a secret that few people know about sacrifice. Lent is a time for us to think about sacrifice and what it can do to us as a person. When we give ourselves fully to God during Lent, we will be amazed at the transformation that occurs. There's something wonderful waiting to happen to us during this Lenten Season

If you're one of the many people who is sick of Frozen, this tutorial may not be for you.
I attended a Frozen birthday party and decided to create a very simple Frozen inspired makeup look. At first I was looking on the internet for inspired looks for me to re-create (this was never intended to be a post) but I found that all of the Frozen makeup looks were leaning more towards Halloween makeup. I created this look that to me is more wearable for an adult or teenager who just wants to have fun with their makeup look while attending a Frozen party. I got a lot of compliments on the look so I thought I'd share. DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a makeup artist, I am just simply a makeup lover.
I decided to use the colors that are used in Frozen and incorporate them with the eye look.
Products Used: Bh Cosmetics Eye's on the 60's Palette
Bh Cosmetics Galaxy Chic Palette
Jordana Best Lash Lash Mascara
Milani Shadow Eyez Crayon in Royal Purple
Fantasy Makers Glitter Eyeliner
Mac Cosmetics BB Foundation
Mac Cosmetics Soft & Gentle Highlight
Mac Cosmetics Heroine Lipstick
Anastasia Beverly Hills Dark Brown Dip Brow
Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer
1. First thing you do, you prime your eyelids. I used the Lorac Behind the Scened Eye Primer. This is my go to primer, it stays on all day. In fact all the pictures from the look were taken 6 hrs after the makeup was applied.
2. After you prime, you start using the purple shadow on the crease. I used the purple shimmer shadow from the Bh cosmetics Eye's on the 60's palette. I used the purple on the first row on the left down ( second to the last on the first row down).
3. After you apply your purple on the crease you then start to blend with a brush back and forth.
4. Once you blend on the crease, you start putting Uranus baked shadow from the Bh Cosmetics Galaxy Palette all over the eyelid.
5. After you are done applying Uranus of the eyelid, you want to apply Comet from the same palette and dab it on to the inner corner of your eye.
6. After step 5 is done you want to start blending both Uranus and the purple together. Once you blend, you can intensify the purple on the crease, which is what I did. I wanted the purple to stand out so I re-applied more purple and blended. Key Word: BLEND.
7. Once you re-apply the purple you can dab Uranus once more on the eyelid. On the highlight for my eye I used the cream color from the Bh Eye's on the 6o's palette. Once you do that you are done with shadow.
8.On the waterline I used a black liner from Nyx. Make sure you don't use too much black liner because once you are done with the black liner you go over your water line with the Milani Shadow Eyez crayon in Royal Purple.
9. After the liner on the waterline is done, I started to apply a thin layer of silver glitter on top of the shadow from Fantasy Makers. You can find any glitter liner in Walgreens or the Dollar store.
10. Apply desired mascara, my go to mascara is the Jordana Best Lash Extreme.
11. Fill in brows (desired) I used Anastasia Beverly Hills on Dark Brown.
12. I used Prune Lip Liner from Nyx and for lipstick I used Mac Cosmetics Heroine Lipstick
13. Applied my BB cream foundation
14.I highlighted my face with Mac Cosmetics Soft & Gentle. (optional)
So there you have it folks. This was unexpected but I really fell in love with this simple eye look. I think anyone can re-create this look and have fun with it. I definitely think this eye look is more wearable to Frozen parties! Make sure to like and comment on this post, i'd appreciate it!- Ami

Stephen Blake is a good man blown in bad directions. He and girlfriend Siobhan, best friend Tommy, IRA terrorist Stapleton, and a particularly American sort of psychopath named Dade, are all on a collision course somewhere on the road between the dive bars of New York, and the pitiless desert of the Southwest.
My Review:
For fans of Bruen's Jack Taylor series, AMERICAN SKIN will feel out of place initially from the trademark prose of those books. Read a few pages and the same nihilistic noir enriched goodness seeps in. In jig time AMERICAN SKIN brings back that same feeling.
I love this book. It was a favorite of mine back when I read it in 2009 and nothing has changed in this re-read some five years later.
This is Breun's American noir with a distinct Irish flavor. We've got travelling criminals/murders/temptresses and a whole cast of characters which create a mixed dynamic of dynamite.
Blood flows like Jameson as the past catches up with all the characters. Headlined by Stephen Blake - a man with toxic friends, this tale of lust, loathing and lifelessness, AMERICAN SKIN is utterly gripping and a must read for fans of Bruen and noir.

A Summary of Oppression and Freedom
I was only gone a two weeks, but it feels being weird being back in Australia. I've heard that compared to Afghanistan and Iraq, Palestine is "like the Bahamas" in terms of stress and danger. It certainly wasn't dangerous (stray IDF bullet or copious amounts of Turkish coffee and Arabic tea aside), but I'm seeing now how stressful it was. It's weird how quickly humans normalise what would otherwise be seen as outrageous behaviour.
For instance, Zleihka, in Hebron, used to have a very short walk to the main Mosque through one of the main markets and busiest parts of town. Now she has to walk half an hour through checkpoints and all of the shops on her street are closed. There are a lot of check points in Hebron and everyone just deals with it. Soldiers pull people over and search people's bags who are just walking to work or to go shopping or even worshipping at the Mosque.
In Bethlehem, people line up for four hours in the morning, just to get to work. There is a line for women and aid workers that is routinely closed and forces them back to the start of the queue. The Old City of the City of Police is often filled with Israeli "Defence" Force personnel. In fact seemingly Christian tourists pose with the IDF outside of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, apparently not seeing the irony that I see. The violence of the State is pervasive and as a result people learn to live with it. Each Palestinian I met I asked "Will things get better?" and they just about all replied "Well, it could be worse, at least I (insert one of the different answers here)-
live in Jerusalem"
don't live in Bethlehem"
don't live in Hebron"
am an Israeli citizen"
don't live in Gaza"
The violence is normalised to the point that despite severe harassment and dehumanisation is shrugged off as normal or as at least not having it as bad as other people in Palestine. Every morning whilst we're grabbing a coffee and slinking off to work, someone in Israel is going to work either in the Israeli Government or the Jewish National Fund (or both) and they are literally being asked by their superiors "Ok, how can make the Palestinians life so bad today that they'll leave the country WITHOUT pissing off the international media?" and the response of most Palestinians and seemingly all of the Israelis as well as the international community is one of "Well, it could be worse…"
Normalised oppressive violence from the State of Israel has created an atmosphere of hardship and fear. The air is heavy with possible physical violence. I wonder if this is why people feared me being abducted or blown up by Arabs. Once you're there, it's hard to feel threatened by the Palestinians everyone is friendly and hospitable, kids playful and the people patient and hard working. But the media portrayal of soldiers constantly armed and checkpoints communicate the possibility of violence and tension. I believe that if these things were wound down, you'd actually have less chance of violence and less tension from the Palestinians. Maybe more of the tourists who gyrate on a rock that Jesus was said to have been anointed in balm (a balm, what you doin' bringing a balm inside? It's a dangerous animal) would get to see the Palestinians around them and we'd come to see the people are people, not just Arabs or potential terrorists.
Either way, right now, Palestine is a tough place to live. It's only when you leave that you and return to a place where the violence is elevated to the Higher State Level (i.e. just the multi-billion dollar arms industry that I don't see in my everyday life) that you see just how tense the life is for Palestinians AND the Israelis.
At this point, I would like to mention Cedar Duaybis of the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Centre in Jerusalem. Cedar told us that she believed in a two state solution that left most of the current settlements in the West Bank. As long as the IDF withdrew and there were no new outposts or settlements, leaving Palestinians with just over half of the West Bank to try and build a sustainable State, Cedar believes that this is the best possible way to build peace. Cedar believes an Israeli State must exist. Partly because we must understand that it has come into existence out of the severe persecution of the Jewish People in other place of the world (Hitler's Holocaust for example). In other words, some of the strongest voices for peace on the Palestinian side are willing to make huge cessations because peace and stability are viewed as more important than economic gain. When both sides (indeed all of us) start thinking and acting like this, wow, this place called Earth could be a paradise I think.
I get why some Jews feel insecure and want a Jewish State, I would disagree with them as to what real security it gives them, but in Realism terms, I understand why they want it. I just don't think it's going to offer them any real security whilst their using their "Defence" Force to shoot children who stray into unfenced military zones, kick people out of their homes, harass people on their way to work or destroy the livelihood of Palestinian People.
When you're destroying a whole People's culture and way of life, you decrease the security of your own State.
In the opinion of some, me included, the Occupation of Palestine has become worse than apartheid in South Africa. At a uni market stall before I left I saw a students for Israel stand. I didn't even baulk at the time, I just started looking for a students for Palestine group. Imagine in the 1980's a students for South Africa group, it would not be allowed to function or it would at least be severely protested. The Jews of history have been severely oppressed and now some seek security from guns, bombs and big walls, in doing so they have become the oppressors and threaten their own security.
The only way for the Palestinians to seek change is non-violent resistance for two reasons.
Firstly and most importantly, an unoccupied State of Palestine would threaten its own security by being armed or having factions launch small attacks on Israel. Israel is fed and supported by the massive Military Industrial complex. High tech weapons and social oppression are some of Israel's biggest exports (think about that the next time you think blockading Max Brenner is the best thing you can do for Palestinian Freedom- blockade the Arms Industry people!). They're good at it. Trying to attack the Israel State with violence, apart from hurting some innocent Israeli citizens which I deem unacceptable, would be outside of the resources of the Palestinian State, maybe even most Arab States. Being a client State of the United States in the Middle East, the World's Superpower keeps Israel well supplied with funds and arms.
Secondly, despite all of the pain and the frustration, I think, on both sides, most people are over it. They want peace and non-violently appealing to the oppressor's humanity is the best chance of achieving peace and Palestinian independence. Breaking down the barriers that have Israeli's view Palestinian's as nothing but potential terrorists and Palestinians seeing that Israeli's are more than soldiers and bulldozer drivers is the best chance at a lasting peace.
In fact the laws that I saw enacted by the Israeli State, such as the shutting down of Shuhada Street in Hebron are about keeping the humanity in Palestine from contacting the humanity in Israel. If the State is actively trying to stop this from happening, perhaps this is the great weakness of the occupation and one which the Palestinian resistance must seek to overcome.
So yes, I not only still believe in non-violent resistance, for Palestine I see it as the only option on the table. The problem is they can't do it alone. The first uprising from 1987-1993 was notable for its strong focus on boycotting and non-violent resistance.
North American countries threatened to cut aid to Palestine if they did not lift the boycotts and strikes. Now, Isreali settlements have taken over the best agricultural land and water supplies in the West Bank, so the Palestinians, since 1968 have been a long way from self-sufficient. They rely on aid. To cut them off is to starve them. If we want to encourage peace in the Middle East, which would give a major lift to global peace, then we need to encourage our governments in the West to continue aid to the Palestinians throughout any future non-violent resistance. In short, the Palestinians need your support and advocacy, otherwise the problems they face from Israeli Occupation and violence through to corruption in the Palestinian Authority, poor living conditions and living standards rely on all of us to recognise that Palestinian oppression is the responsibility of all of us.
We all need to resist our States that contribute to and feed the military-industrial complex which helps fund the Israeli Occupation of the Palestinians. Our taxes help to pay for Israeli guns and bombs and huge billion dollar aircraft. We are therefore responsible for what happens with them and how they affect a Palestinian family when they have a father or children gunned down for straying over a line on a map, like in Jenba, where 12 kids have been killed since 1999. That is my fault for not resisting strongly enough the Australian State which buys it's weapons and "defence" systems from Israeli companies.
The next time the Palestinians put themselves on the line and non-violently resist the state, we can only blame ourselves if it fails. If a Palestinian turns to violence through a small arms attack or suicide bombing, it is our fault for not giving her an alternative way to express her anger. It is our fault, because through our own government's we have said to the Palestinian suicide bomber "Violence is all we use or understand."
The Israeli Occupation is my Occupation. The Oppression of Palestinians is my Oppression. Therefore my freedom is tied to the freedom of the Palestinians.
Hooreyah and Peace.
Valerie Joy permalink
Welcome back Greg. There is a great difference between reading about Palestine/Israel and experiencing it. I hope you will get together with others in Brisbane who are concerned to work for this eventual peace from here. Nicole Erlich convenes a meeting on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at the Trades and Labour Council, 11Peel,St, South Brisbane at 7pm. Quakers would also like to learn of your experiences.
I look forward to seeing you also, Valerie Joy

Paw Tree, a Southlake, Texas-based
company that offers natural pet food,
pet treats, holistic supplements, and
more for both dogs and cats, has
received a $7 million growth investment from private investors. Exact
terms of the deal were not disclosed,
but the investment capital will be
used to further accelerate the growth
and expansion
of PawTree
nationally, according to company officials.
The investment will go
a long way in
expanding the reach of Paw Tree's
natural pet products. Paw Tree's
products aren't sold through traditional retail stores or online pet
sites. Instead, products are sold exclusively through a group of nearly 1,500 "petPros," or independent
reps, who share the products and
earn commissions.
"Anyone with a passion for
pets can join as a petPro and get
paid commissions," said Roger
Morgan, founder and CEO.
The petPros share the Paw Tree
products with others and earn residual commissions when people
go to the Paw Tree site and buy.

Today's tip of the day is Almond Milk. I started using the stuff two weeks back and I have grown fond of it. Today I decided to learn why it is good for me. My search engine took me to this article located on 3 Fat Chicks on a diet. (tried to link that baby but I am apparently less smart than this blog.
I should say the title of that blog makes me giggle. The info was also pretty darn excellent.
I am using the 60 calorie version made by Silk. It tastes great and I love that I get 8 oz. for the 60 calories. I like to drown my cereal in milk and with the cow stuff I found myself trying to cut back as much as possible. Getting to the end of a bowl and eating soggy Kashi with no milk blows……so this is a cool thing.
The heart health impact is especially excellent in my view. As a guy who carried 350 extra pounds for years the heart is a concern. Now that I have decided to be kind to my heart I deeply dig this extra benefit.
This nutty white invention appears to help ward off diabetes? Cool! I have not had these issues yet and I am all in favor of keeping that trend……..
My face will be soft as a babies butt? I vote yes!
The 3 BBW's are saying that this almond juice will help with eyes sight. I was not expecting that benefit. I feel like I just found a quarter on the sidewalk.
Vitamin B sounds pretty helpful. This is one of my large areas of concern with my personal weight loss. I have some damn strong legs. My theory is that from carrying around so much weight for so long they have naturally become strong. Not sure if that is true but seems logical. My concern is upper body strength. I am limited in the weight training department presently due to back issues and with the large weight loss I have lost any top end strength I had. It seems this may help me some? Perhaps I am just being optimistic but it probably will not hurt this issue.
I say thumbs up to the almond milk. Big bonus that it tastes delicious.

By Chris Bohjalian.
344 pp. New York:
Harmony Books. $24.
FICTIONAL transsexual educators aren't what they used to be. Three decades ago, Gore Vidal's Myra Breckinridge was digging her high heels into Hollywood's solar plexus, using her teaching job at the Academy of Drama and Modeling to stamp out ''the last vestigial traces of traditional manhood.'' By contrast, Dana Stevens, the protagonist of Chris Bohjalian's ''Trans-Sister Radio,'' is a gentle film-and-lit professor in Vermont, a stand-up kind of guy and pure catnip to a divorced schoolteacher named Allison Banks.
Allison is so taken with her new lover that she happily glosses over his plucked eyebrows and missing body hair. And she is more shocked than perhaps she should be to learn that Dana is a preoperative transsexual who wants not only to replace his penis with a vagina but to go on seeing Allison once he's done it. Once she gets over her initial repulsion, Allison finds herself warming to the idea. ''Wasn't it conceivable,'' she asks herself, ''that I might still love Dana after the surgery? Perhaps love had absolutely nothing to do with sexual preference. Perhaps you just fell in love with a person -- gender be damned.''
Swallowing her misgivings, she installs the transformed Dana as her live-in lover. Neither of them, however, has reckoned with the good folk of Allison's hometown. Nasty graffiti turn up on Allison's front door; parents start pulling their children from her class; and her principal prods her to take an extended leave. The couple's only hope for a public hearing lies with Will, Allison's former husband and the president of Vermont Public Radio, who carries a sputtering torch for Allison and, more disturbingly for him, has a nascent fascination with Allison's new lover.
And why not? Dana is not just a convincing female but the hottest woman rural Vermont has ever seen: ''tall and slim and proud . . . almost too beautiful to be around.'' Bohjalian has, in short, given us Myra Breckinridge without the revenge fantasies. He wants us to stop worrying and love the transsexual, and so he has supplied a transsexual who is impossible not to love. A fabulous baker, a masseuse extraordinaire, Dana rarely slips outside the bounds of propriety and never loses her glibness, even when describing the torment of growing up in the wrong body.
But the honest, messy pain of gender dysphoria would be too unsettling for this book, with its cutesy title and perky prose. And a more nuanced heroine might not comport so easily with the countercultural sympathy that, in novels like ''Midwives'' and ''The Law of Similars,'' Bohjalian lavishes on people who do things differently from everyone else. In his hands, they must also be better than everyone else, kinder, smarter, more attractive. With their private colleges, baby-boom politics and Queen Anne porches, the people in ''Trans-Sister Radio'' are perfect avatars of what might be called the National Public Radio elite. And so it's only fitting that their story should play out as an NPR feature (complete with a lead-in from Linda Wertheimer) and that in telling their story, they should all speak in the same NPR voice: fluent and progressive, unfailingly nice.
Bohjalian is a solid craftsman who does his research and knows how to keep a story zipping along, but by insisting on his characters' own superiority, he robs them of fiction's complicating truths. The result is less an inversion of ''Myra Breckinridge'' than an update of ''Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.'' And like that hallmark of Hollywood liberalism, ''Trans-Sister Radio'' makes its ''aberrant'' character so unthreatening and unimpeachable that he/she becomes a cipher upon which we can project our self-congratulation. ''Dana's just like us!'' we are meant to conclude. But is that what makes transsexuals interesting? Or is it how radically they diverge from ''us'' and become something wholly their own? Their reinvention is, by its very nature, transgressive, and it may require a more transgressive prose than Bohjalian, for all his good intentions, can supply.Continue reading the main story

201707 Monthly Poem
In the land of Oz, so we are told
A wizard once held sway,
Known and loved by all the folk
Until one fateful day.
A scarecrow yearned to have a brain
So he could think things through,
He needed to see the wizard
But whatever could he do?
Walking along a path one day
He heard an awful groan
A man of tin he their espied
Rusted to the bone.
The scarecrow looking saw a can
And poured oil on the joints,
It seems he thought that out himself
(At least that's the way it points!).
The tin man told the scarecrow
He wished he had a heart
"We'll go and see the wizard",
Said the scarecrow at the start.
A mighty roar came from the trees
And a lion bounded out,
He saw those two and began to cry
You see, he had no 'clout'.
"I'm sorry", said the lion
"I ought not behave like that,
The thing is I've no courage
I'm just a scaredy cat".
They decided to journey onward
To find the magical man,
They said if anyone can help them
The wizard surely can.
Well, many adventures befell them,
The scarecrow was caught by some witches
Who took him to their castle
And started to unpick his stitches.
The lion then let out a mighty roar
And bounded into their den,
Putting the scarecrow on his back
He bounded out again.
Meanwhile the tin man was helping a maid
Whose market wares had been stolen
He'd spotted her at the side of the road
Her eyes all red and swollen.
He picked her up and cuddled her
She give him a hug and a kiss
He felt so strange, he didn't know why,
His heart gave a little miss.
On reaching the wizard they had a shock
He would not come out to meet them,
So in they burst demanding to see
The man who was such a gem.
The scarecrow thought something was fishy
And began to investigate
All he found was a box of tricks
Because the wizard was a fake.
The friends were most upset by now
When an angel appeared from the right,
"Don't fret", she said, "you have been cured
You don't need this dreadful sight".
"There are many folk who are not what they seem
And will lead you further astray,
But there is One who is looking on
And will guide you in the right way".
"Remember scarecrow, you thought it was wrong
That the wizard would not appear,
You just used the brain you already had
So now you have nothing to fear.
"Tin man, you helped the little girl
It was not 'just luck' she was there,
You used your heart, it missed a beat,
To prove that you really care".
"And lion, you are a soppy old puss
Of course you are brave and strong,
You rushed to the aid of your dear old friend
And righted a dreadful wrong".
"Forget those awful 'I can't do's'
Don't turn to some old quack,
The Master of the World is there
To put you on the track".
So, all the talents that you need
You have right there, inside,
And if you still need any help
Then just in Him confide.
Look to the rainbow, but not the end,
A pot of gold's not there,
The rainbow promises life's rich things
That's God's blessings and His care.
Paul Scrivener

49ers training camp preview: 5 questions for an apparently reborn team
A year removed from preaching patience, the 49ers are pleading for perspective.
That's what happens when a brick-by-brick rebuilding project begins with the first 0-9 start in franchise history and ends with the NFL's only 5-0 regular-season finish in 2017.
Yes, the 49ers open camp Wednesday after a bizarre season. It included a last-place finish in the NFC West, fewer wins than 21 teams and yet has produced great expectations for 2018.
As bemused head coach Kyle Shanahan noted at the NFL combine: "The way to get people to feel good about 6-10 is to start 0-9."
Those words got the attention, but Shanahan finished the quote by noting 6-10 "was still our record and we've got a lot of work to do."
It's a message Shanahan and general manager John Lynch have maintained during the offseason as they work to erase complacency from a franchise that was resurrected overnight by apparent franchise QB Jimmy Garoppolo.
Garoppolo has fast-tracked the rebuilding project, but the 49ers aren't a finished product.
Can Garoppolo prove he's among the elite?
He's played like a marquee quarterback and he's being compensated like one ($137.5 million for five years), and now Jimmy Garoppolo can prove that he belongs among the best at his position.
Some suggest he's already earned that distinction after turning a dumpster fire into a diamond last year, but it's premature to anoint someone with seven career starts and 272 pass attempts.
Garoppolo passes the eye test — yes, on and off the field — but it's worth noting the QB with the perfect record wasn't flawless last year, throwing six touchdown passes and five interceptions in his five starts.
In addition, there is the matter of his durability, which hasn't been tested by a 16-game season. Garoppolo has already failed to finish one of his starts — a shoulder injury knocked him out of his second career start in 2016 — and he missed a few offseason practices with the Patriots with a calf injury in 2017.
Sound like nitpicking? That's probably fair, but that small sample size means Garoppolo still has to prove he's worth that big contract.
Can Foster stay out of headlines … and on the field?
Inside linebacker Reuben Foster nearly fell out of the first round of the 2017 draft because of concerns about his character and medical file.
A year later, those concerns haven't been allayed.
Foster will serve a season-opening, two-game suspension stemming from two offseason arrests that included a weapons charge in one. When he returns to the field, he will aim to prove he can stay on it after missing six games last year with injuries and briefly leaving several others because of shoulder stingers.
The good news: Foster, who had shoulder surgery before the 2017 draft, erased any concerns about his football ability. Despite being sidelined, he ranked second on the team in tackles (72) and was named to the NFL's All-Rookie team.
He appears destined to become a defensive anchor, but his health and decision-making will determine if that potential will be realized.
Is the new cornerback the same old guy?
He has knowledge, charisma and leadership skills, but does Richard Sherman have anything left in the tank?
At 30, the All-Pro cornerback has a surgically repaired Achilles tendon that prevented him from participating in the offseason program, meaning he couldn't start trying to silence his skeptics before this summer.
Sherman, the 49ers' arch antagonist when he played for the Seahawks, has filled a leadership void on a young defense by enthusiastically embracing his mentor role.
Those intangibles shouldn't be dismissed, but his signing will be deemed a bust if he doesn't approach his previous form. The 49ers are hopeful, but realistic: For proof, look no further than Sherman's incentive-laden contract, which included just $3 million fully guaranteed at signing.
Who will provide the pass rush?
The 49ers don't have a player on their roster with more than 10 career sacks, and no player had more than three sacks in 2017. In the offseason, after posting the sixth-fewest sacks in the NFL last season, they only made minor moves to address what appears to be a major issue: They gave Cassius Marsh a contract extension and signed former Chargers pass-rusher Jeremiah Attaochu.
No 49er has had a 10-sack season since 2012, and that streak may be extended without the presence of a dominant edge rusher. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh has acknowledged the lack of star power.
So what's the plan? Saleh has discussed a committee approach, with former first-round picks Arik Armstead, DeForest Buckner and Solomon Thomas generating more pressure inside.
"Not every team has a Joey Bosa or a Von Miller, where they can just take a complete game over," Saleh said. "But there's a lot of teams that have four really good rushers and they are very effective rushing the passer. And that's what we're trying to build to be."
Can McKinnon justify that contract?
The 49ers are paying a career backup like a big-name player, which raises the question: What do they see in Jerick McKinnon, 26, the running back who will earn $11.7 million guaranteed this season after averaging 3.7 yards a carry last season with the Vikings?
Kyle Shanahan has raved about McKinnon's versatility, and he clearly envisions a do-it-all role for him that echoes the way Shanahan utilized Devonta Freeman in Atlanta.
Freeman, a 2014 fourth-round pick, had the only 1,000-yard rushing seasons of his career with Shanahan as his offensive coordinator in 2015 and 2016. And he's one of many players who had career-best seasons with Shanahan calling plays, a list that includes quarterback Matt Schaub (led NFL in passing yards in 2009) and running back Alfred Morris (second in NFL in rushing yards in 2012).
Will McKinnon join that group in 2018? The 49ers are very much banking on it.

As I mentioned in my earlier posts that S.M.A. ( Surinaamse Moeslim Associatie / Suriname Muslim Association ) is one of the biggest Muslim Organization in Suriname.
|S.M.A founded in 1950 is a Sunni Muslim organization which aims in spreading, maintaining and promoting the Islamic religion under the original terms of the Ahle Sunnah, the school of Imam Abu Hanifa and the explanation of Imam Ahmad Reza Khan Bereilwie along with promoting the social welfare of its members.
Their traditional worship and celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr 2012 held at S.M.A.'s complex located at Livorno.
Mr. Hadji Michel I. Soebhan, Chairman of S.M.A. made an opening speech and invited Muslim prayers to open air praying area.
This year's praying session of Eid-ul-Fitr served by Maulana Mohammad Musab Ashrafi from India.
S.M.A. hosted hundreds of Muslims and guests while offering them variety of meals, drinks and desserts.
My post include 91 photos. I captured all S.M.A. ( Surinaamse Moeslim Associatie / Suriname Muslim Association )'s Eid-ul-Fitr 2012 Celebration in Suriname photos with my Nikon D2Xs while using sort of lenses ;
- Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar T* f/2 100mm ZF.2 manual focus lens.
- Nikkor 35mm f/2.0D AF
- Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D AF
- Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC
All photos converted from NEF (Nikon's RAW format) to JPG and resized with Capture NX2 in batches without any manual touch.
Hope you like it. All the best,
