HONG KONG, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- Chief Executive of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Carrie Lam delivered on Wednesday her third policy address, highlighting livelihood issues such as housing and land supply, and appealing to the community to put aside differences and set sail again.
The 2019 policy address, entitled "Treasure Hong Kong: Our Home," focused on four aspects of work, namely housing, land supply, improving people's livelihood and economic development.
Lam said in the foreword of the address that she decided to deliver a more focused policy address in full this year and compile a new document entitled Policy Address Supplement to comprehensively account for the work progress of the current term HKSAR government.
Together with the supplement, this year's policy address contains more than 220 new measures that aim to address deep-seated social problems and improve people's livelihood.
On housing, which she described as "the toughest livelihood issue facing Hong Kong society," Lam announced a raft of short- and medium-term support measures, including substantially increasing the number of transitional housing projects, offering cash allowance, assisting first-time home buyers, among others.
On increasing the land supply, which she called a "thorny problem," Lam noted that the governing team must make bolder decisions and overcome all difficulties with determination, announcing measures including invoking the Lands Resumption Ordinance to resume privately owned land for public housing.
These measures were widely welcomed by the Hong Kong community. The Non-official Members of the HKSAR Executive Council said in a statement on Wednesday that the chief executive "has demonstrated her determination to overcome challenges through proposing bold measures to boost short-, medium- and long-term land supply through different means."
Noting that the HKSAR government has lowered its full-year GDP growth forecast to a range between zero to 1 percent as recent violent incidents have posed an unprecedented challenge to Hong Kong's economy, Lam vowed that the government will roll out more measures to bolster the economy and to help enterprises and the public tide over difficult times.
She also promised to improve people's livelihood through various measures in areas including children's development, public healthcare, burden relief and poverty alleviation.
Lam has revealed on Tuesday that the theme color of this year's policy address is sky blue, symbolizing that "the sky clears after the rain" in unrest-hit Hong Kong.
However, the original arrangement of her delivering the policy address Wednesday morning at the Legislative Council (LegCo) meeting was repeatedly disrupted by the opposition LegCo members, and she had to give the speech later through video.
In the policy address, Lam pledged to adhere to the "one country, two systems" principle and safeguard the rights and freedoms protected by the Basic Law, as well as to protect the rule of law, the cornerstone of Hong Kong's success.
She appealed to everyone in the community to cherish the city and safeguard its core values so that Hong Kong can return to calmness.
"So long as Hong Kong remains impeded by unresolved disputes, ongoing violence, confrontation and discord, our city cannot embark on the road to reconciliation and people will lose faith in the future," Lam said in her closing remarks.
"We must reverse the prevalent pessimistic sentiments and stop the disorderly behavior. We have to put aside differences and stop attacking each other, so that we could set sail again based on the values upheld by all," she said.
At a press conference on the policy address on Wednesday afternoon, Lam expressed regret over not being able to deliver the entire policy address at the LegCo meeting, and reiterated that Hong Kong's top priority for the moment is to end violence.
Stressing that she will continue serving Hong Kong with her utmost determination, Lam said she hopes to lead Hong Kong out of the current impasse through the policy address as well as "a governance style with more listening and more interaction."
In a post on social media on Wednesday evening, the chief executive invited the public for an online communication on the new policy address on Thursday evening.

A better understanding of the process of adaptation to motherhood should enhance nurses' ability to prepare women for the transition to motherhood and to provide care following childbirth. Knowledge about women's adaptation to motherhood was developed primarily from the 1960s to the 1990s. Cesarean birthing was a special focus of research throughout the late 1970s and the 1980s, followed by functional status, and more recently, depression and stress associated with birth and postpartum. Adaptation to motherhood in the context of the early 21st century has received limited attention in nursing research, creating an assumption that the process of adaptation is universal and context-free rather than evolving within the life and societal context of women across generations. Although becoming and being a mother has been described as a normative transition rather than a stressor by some, knowledge development about adaptation to motherhood also has been constrained by the limited use of a unified perspective of transition as a process of adaptation. Therefore, the purposes of this exploratory study were to describe contemporary women's physical, emotional, functional, and social adaptation to motherhood and to examine the relations of selected demographic and perinatal variables to adaptation to motherhood in the first 3 to 6 weeks of the postpartum.

"If you're sad, add some more lipstick and attack."-Coco Chanel.
"Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick and pull yourself together."- Elizabeth Taylor
"Give a woman the right lipstick and she can conquer the world." –Unknown
"Keep your head high, put on some sunglasses and lipstick and no one can stop you."- Madison Lawson
What is it about lipstick that causes girls to feel ready, intimidating, bad-A and like they can do anything they put their mind to? How does wiping away my tears, splashing my face with water and applying some lipstick make me feel as though I've turned my whole life around in ten seconds? Why do a large portion of the women reading this right now have a strange urge and desire to close their computer, stand up and go put on some lipstick and do whatever they are putting off?
Square your shoulders, put on your favorite color and attack.
We live in a world where women are both subconsciously and obviously told that they are weak, small, incapable. We are told "you're not beautiful and if you think you are then you are a vain, conceited b***h." A girl can't post a cute picture of herself that makes her feel absolutely stunning without someone calling her out and telling her she is attention seeking and insecure.
Lipstick tells you the opposite. Lipstick, makeup, hats, your favorite pairs of shoes, a smile, a smirk, a pucker, whatever it is, it tells you that you CAN. You are beautiful, and you are capable. It says "Screw them, you do know you're beautiful and you can conquer the world if you wanted to."
What if we believed in ourselves? What if we allowed ourselves to apply lipstick, look in the mirror and go "Dang, I am incredibly gorgeous." What if we could feel good without feeling guilty? What if we romanticized self love instead of condemned it?
Lipstick is not a cure all, but it's a reminder of what we already have. A smile, a smirk, a voice.

So opens the iconic holiday number composed by Tommie Connor and made famous by the likes of Jimmy Boyd, The Ronettes and the Jackson Five. In Texas, Santa may not be the only bugger looking for an opportunistic kiss. "'Kissing bug' infections remain a problem in Texas, reports suggest" warns a Fox News Health article; "reports in Texas suggest the growing problem of Chagas disease, a potentially life-threatening condition transmitted by triatomine bugs, or "kissing bugs," is not improving in the state this year." According to the CDC, Chagas disease affects 6 million to 7 million people worldwide in which "the initial, acute phase lasts for about 2 months after infection. During the acute phase, a high number of parasites (Trypanosoma cruzi) circulate in the blood but in most cases symptoms are absent or mild. In less than 50% of people bitten by a triatomine bug, characteristic first visible signs can be a skin lesion or a purplish swelling of the lids of one eye, and they can present fever, headache, enlarged lymph glands, pallor, muscle pain, difficulty in breathing, swelling and abdominal or chest pain" The CDC goes on to emphazises that in "the chronic phase, the parasites are hidden mainly in the heart and digestive muscles,…patients suffer from cardiac disorders and…from digestive (typically enlargement of the oesophagus or colon), neurological or mixed alterations. And that, "in later years the infection can lead to sudden death or heart failure caused by progressive destruction of the heart muscle and its nervous system." The Fox News Health article encourages; "while Texas officials are aware of the growing problem in the state, they are urging anyone who begins exhibiting flu-like symptoms and believes they have been bitten to contact the Texas Department of State Health Services for testing." So before hanging that mistletoe in a suitable spot, be sure to shake it out real well if you live in Texas and stay away from kissing buggers! Happy holidays!

Emmerdale newcomer Michael Wildman has said his mother was more impressed when he got the job in a soap than when he was cast in a Steven Spielberg film.
The actor is joining the ITV soap as Al, Jessie Dingle's ex, and the father of her son Ellis (Asan N'Jie).
Wildman previously appeared in Spielberg's Ready Player One and played Magorian Centaur in Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix.
He said of getting the Emmerdale role: "I don't really watch that much TV to be perfectly honest with you but it was my grandma – who passed many years ago – it was her favourite soap and it is my mum's favourite soap.
"When I got this job she was more excited about me getting this than when I got Spielberg's job!"
In the soap, Al returns to Emmerdale after some time away and it is not initially clear what his intentions are.
But the actor predicted that he would be "ruffling a few feathers".
"He's going to be quite an interesting character. That's about as much as I can probably say right now," he said.
Wildman continued: "He's been abroad on business, pursuing whatever he pursues.
"It's not quite clear when he first comes in what his intentions are. Whether they are to do with business, maybe here, or whether it's just to reunite with his son.
"But Al is the type of person that just thinks he can walk straight back into someone's life and pick up where he left off.
"Ellis has other feelings about that."
He continues: "He's come back for Ellis primarily. Whether something else is linked to that is something we'll find out…"
Emmerdale airs weekdays on ITV.

Whilst more and more practices are joining corporate groups, opening a successful independent practice remains a fulfilling and realistic aspiration for vets today. Of course, opening a vet clinic is hard work, but with focus, detailed advance planning and by following robust and proven processes, profitability after just a few months of operation is entirely feasible. This opening a vet clinic workshop will show you how to achieve your dreams of practice ownership, without the whole process becoming a financial and logistical nightmare.
Quarterly 'opening your own veterinary practice' practical one-day workshops take place at Onswitch's offices in Grantham, giving attendees a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills to enable you to get off on the right foot in your new practice. We'll explore the importance of marketing to potential clients in the catchment area with targeted brand messages six months out; as well as establishing key steps to take each month, up to and after launch. Delegates also build vital management competencies for the early months of trading, such as team coaching, developing the customer experience and measuring team and business performance.
Understanding your target market and tailoring your service accordingly is crucial prior to opening a new vet practice, and we'll look at how you can collect data on a wide range of key parameters such as:
When opening a new veterinary practice it's also important to consider your own unique selling points and branding – how is your approach different to other practices already available? How does it feel to be a client of your vet clinic? Very few areas of the UK are under-provided for in terms of veterinary practices, so if you are to recruit and retain the 1,000 active clients per Full Time Equivalent vet required in order to maintain a sustainable business, the reality is that you will need to switch clients from elsewhere. And attracting new clients is much easier when you have obvious practice values and your ethos is visible in every aspect of the customer experience your team provide – this opening a new veterinary practice workshop will show you how to establish and communicate your unique brand messages clearly and consistently to potential clients in the area.
Each owning your own vet practice workshop is led by Alison Lambert and takes place at Onswitch's offices in Grantham (centrally located and easily accessible by train and road) including a fantastic lunch. Numbers for each opening a vet clinic session are limited to a maximum of eight, so there is plenty of time and space for exploration of any specific issues, as well as coverage of common potential pitfalls. The sessions run regardless of number of bookings, so if you're the only attendee you'll get a whole day of one-on-one advice from one of the most experienced and knowledgeable people in the business!

New Copper Road! 7/20/14
Oh no, this is the last finished script in my Copper Road file. I have to, like, THINK again for the next one. Boooooo!!! Anyway, vote to see the new comic!
While I have done Kaitlyn's mission for individual albums, I can't say I've tried to flex my tracking muscles that way yet. (Time for a new task!) As for Hi's part - I'm with you, dude! My car is from the last millennium, so advanced future tech like CD players were not part of its package. I kept the tradition alive for a long time!
By the way, the next bonus item will likely be a double-dose, and I intend to count it as two items towards my Kickstarter-fueled bonus obligations!

Fitch Downgrades or Withdraws Ratings on Distressed Classes in 16 U.S. CMBS Transactions
Fitch has also withdrawn the ratings on five classes in one deal as a result of realized losses. The trust balances have been reduced to \\$0 or have experienced non-recoverable realized losses and are no longer considered by Fitch to be relevant to the agency's coverage.
Today's downgrades are limited to just the bonds with write-downs. Any remaining bonds in these transactions have not been analyzed as part of this review. In cases where the last rated tranches of a transaction are in default and rated 'D', the defaulted ratings will be automatically withdrawn within 11 months of the date of the previous rating action.
A spreadsheet detailing Fitch's rating actions on the affected transactions is available at 'www.fitchratings.com' by performing a title search for: 'Fitch Downgrades or Withdraws Ratings on Distressed Classes in 16 U.S. CMBS Transactions', or by clicking on the link above.
While the bonds that have defaulted are not expected to recover any material amount of lost principal in the future there is a limited possibility this may happen. In this unlikely scenario, Fitch would further review the affected class.
No third-party due diligence was provided or reviewed in relation to this rating action.

STORY FROM: Reinsurance & Arbitration
U.S. High Court Will Not Review Choice-Of-Law Question in Arbitrability Dispute
October 10, 2018
OMAHA, Neb. — The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to determine whether a choice-of-law clause in a contract that contains an arbitration agreement should be read to import state substantive law without importing state rules impairing arbitration.
On Oct. 1, the high court denied Applied Underwriters Inc.' petition for certiorari, which also asked the high court to decide whether a litigant may avoid the enforcement of a contractual clause delegating questions of arbitrability to the arbitrator by stating that the litigant's objections to arbitration apply equally to the delegation clause itself.

The Chicago Cubs are among the teams showing interest in acquiring Detroit Tigers outfielder Nicholas Castellanos, Chris McCosky of the Detroit News reports.
If the Cubs trade for Castellanos, the club would probably move Jason Heyward to center and ask its new addition to play right field, McCosky notes.
Chicago has struggled against left-handers this season, and adding Castellanos could help buck that trend. The 27-year-old has recorded a 1.090 OPS against lefties during his 2019 campaign with the lowly Tigers.
In mid-June, Castellanos - an impending free agent - rejected Detroit's request to move to first base because the team didn't offer him a contract extension.
The 2010 first-round pick has spent his seven-year career with the Tigers. In 829 games he's slashed .275/.325/.460 with 103 home runs and 204 doubles.

HMO is short for Health Maintenance Organisation. It is an alternative insurance model for mandatory health insurance, under which the policyholder agrees to always first consult a specific HMO centre in the event of illness. Policyholders benefit from a premium reduction of up to 25 per cent compared to the standard model due to the limited choice of doctors.
Emergencies as well as the annual gynaecological check-up and regular eye examinations are exempt from this obligation. The exceptions vary from one health insurance company to another and are laid out in the General Insurance Conditions of each provider.
An HMO practice is a group practice including not only GPs but usually also specialists and therapists from various areas of medical specialisation. This allows for a broad range of medical services to be offered, depending on the size of the practice. HMO centres have their own catchment areas. This means that every centre has its own geographical area of activity.
The HMO doctor is referred to as a gatekeeper. He receives a lump sum every month for the treatment of his registered policyholders. This covers all services claimed by policyholders either from the HMO doctor, from external specialists or in the context of a hospital stay. The gatekeeper principle allows the HMO doctor to coordinate treatment of his patients. This lump sum payment is an incentive for the HMO doctor to only administer treatment that the patient actually needs. Therefore, premiums for HMO insurance are up to 25 per cent lower than those for standard basic insurance, while offering the same benefits.

Dappled Mare Climber's Log
Dow Williams - Dec 11, 2011 11:38 am Date Climbed: Dec 6, 2011Dappled Mare
Combined with Bird on a Wire for two laps on the wall before finishing off a short winter day back at Intersection Rock. Very warm south facing wall. First pitch (short solo) is 5th class if even. Second and third pitches are enjoyable climbing. Best way to finish is on Bird on a Wire, taking the right option at the very top. Makes for another decent pitch that way. With Joe K.
fossana - Feb 16, 2010 12:32 am Date Climbed: Feb 13, 2010roan way direct finish
With Jascha. Did the 5.8+ direct finish from the bolted belay. J napped on the first belay ledge while we waited for the 2 slow parties above us.
asmrz - Mar 4, 2009 12:07 amA few times
Excellent route. Climbed it several times, once with Miguel Carmona in the early 80s, two or three more times with various people in the 90s and the last time with Penelope in November 2005.
Blair - Mar 2, 2009 12:33 pm Date Climbed: Mar 1, 2009With Aaron and Dave
Followed these guys up this route. Good rock quality, and interesting climbing the entire way. 2 long rope stretching pitches.
Deb - Feb 21, 2009 11:39 pm Date Climbed: Feb 20, 2009Very classic!
Warm sunny day and void of many other humans. Dave and I super enjoyed this route, its exposure and classic moves!
fatdad - Feb 13, 2009 6:18 pmNice climb.
I love the routes on this section of the wall. A nice adventurous feel that you often miss on some of the shorter Josh half pitch routes.
bighornmonkey - Jan 8, 2009 8:52 pm Date Climbed: Jan 1, 2009in 2 pitches
Done as 2 long pitches. Feels easier than the grade in my opinion.
Sam Page - Apr 23, 2008 9:14 pmRan it out
I climbed this in 2002 or 2003. We did this in just over two pitches. The combination of abominable rope drag and poor pro in the last thirty feet of the second pitch made this less enjoyable than it should have been.
atavist - Jun 22, 2007 10:09 am Date Climbed: Jan 28, 2007nice
a little cool and windy but clear skies and fun route
tb00957 - Jan 23, 2007 6:49 pm Date Climbed: Jan 20, 2007dappled mare
Tricky 5.7 start move. 2nd pitch is really fun. I ran out of rope on the 3rd pitch (60m). Scrambled 4th class to the top instead.

ENGLISH 100 (31): Composition I [TTR 7:30-8:45] – Amanda Christie
Writing & Action
Everyday we write. Whether we create a new Insta story, compose a quick text to a friend, think up a few new song lyrics while singing in the shower and then jot them down later, or write an essay for a school assignment, we all write. In this class, I want us all to see that writing is a task that we continually use to make meaning of our world and to communicate those newly-made meanings to others. Connecting writings' important purpose with the acts of reading and writing that make up our daily lives and with our own actions for social change, I, ultimately, want us to see within this class that writing makes a tremendous difference.
Course Objectives:
1). To continually develop and refine writing skills by practicing with various academic written forms.
2). To become skilled in crafting the organization, content, and mechanics of the critical analysis and research essay forms.
3). To cultivate close, careful reading skills through the analysis and discussion of various texts including news articles, essays, scholarship, slam poetry, ads, and local publications.
There are 5 major writing assignments including a problem-solution essay, a journal article review essay, an annotated bibliography, a critical analysis paper, and a final research paper. You will also be required to several outlines, drafts, and self-reflective journals both inside and outside of class. All of the assignments can be revised within the semester. The aim of this course is to focus on the progression of writing and the final grade is based on that progression☺
Course Texts & Supplies:
1). English 100 Course Readings – all readings available online through Laulima. No need to purchase a textbook for this class.

text: Beach almond, or Terminalia catappa, is a tropical deciduous tree that produces an almond-like edible nut. Traditional healers use the leaves to treat hepatitis and other liver diseases, dermatitis, dysentery, diarrhea and cancer. Active ingredients include flavonoids, tannins, saponins and sterols, and the plant has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and liver-protective properties. A study by S. Kinoshita and colleagues published in the November 2007 issue of "Phytomedicine" tested a leaf extract on animals with induced liver damage. The study found that the tannin known as corilagin scavenged free radicals and reduced oxidative damage in the liver, thereby repairing and protecting liver tissue. This study supports the traditional use of the plant in treating liver diseases and its ability to repair liver damage. Consult a health care professional before using this herb, since the long-term effects are not known. Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Level 1 Leadership Training
: The Rite of Passage Framework
11 - 13 SEPT 2020, Byron Bay Hinterland
Our Level 1 Leadership Training is an introduction to the Rites of Passage Framework. Here is what a past participant had to say about the training:
"The Level 1 Leadership Training Program provided me with the platform to understand and experience the transformative power of a Rite of Passage.

Reason #1 – I don't have $500 to spend on another computer type thing right now.
Reason #2 – I haven't come up with a second reason yet.
So do I think the iPad is perfect, necessary, or even non- evil? Not really.
Would it be better with a camera? Probably. So a future version will probably have a camera. Then we can all complain that it only has one camera.
I would like to see an open marketplace for apps, flash support, GPS, and multitasking. I would love to see a big Android tablet. We've been waiting a long time for the tablet computing thing to happen. Others have tried and for various reasons they all sucked. I hope this one is successful and ushers in the tablet computing era.
Fanboys will defend and haters will criticize. But there are two things you need to know about the iPad – 1) It is what it is, and 2) It isn't what it isn't.
One day soon there will be a better device that addresses all of our current concerns (but has a list of its own). But the iPad is right now.
So if you have $500 in the budget right now and you think it would be useful to constantly have access to the web, music, video, and books on a small, light, flat screen with 12 hours of battery life, buy one. If you don't think that would be useful, don't – but tell me how you found a blog.
I'm writing this on my Nexus One from the gym. I didn't take a computer with me, but I have this, my Kindle, my iPod, a notepad (dead tree), and a Sharpie Pen. I really wouldn't hate it if all of that was replaced with a tablet and a Zoolander flip phone.

Our people will ask the police and army to return to their barracks."Around the country, several confrontations between police and protesters were reported.In Udon Thani, in the north east, protesters blocked a major highway on Sunday and prevented a convoy of police from reaching Bangkok.Roadblocks were also set up in Nong Kai province and to the north of Bangkok, again aimed at police heading to the Thai capital. Several arrests were reported in one incident on Monday on Bangkok's northern outskirts.Late on Sunday in Bangkok a grenade was hurled at a guard post near the home of Banharn Silapa Archa, a former prime minister whose Chart Thai Pattana party is part of the current governing coalition.
If true, then the last couple years' focus on sexual assault at colleges should have sent campuses' reporting rates soaring. And that's exactly what has happened. News World Report, the number of reported sex offenses increased from an average of 12.5 in 2011 to 20.1 in 2013, according to an "America Tonight" analysis of new campus crime statistics.

Although milk kefir grains often multiply, nobody can necessarily guarantee that they will multiply in a similar pattern in every given atmosphere. The growth ultimately depends on mainly on culturing environment, climatic conditions, room temperature, milk fat & lactose content, hygiene, glass jar shape, quantity of milk used for each fermentation, proportion of kefir grains and milk, etc..
Also, do we need to worry if your Kefir Grains are smaller in size (like large sand)?
Absolutely Not! The kefir grains of smaller sizes ferments good kefir milk by covering greater surface area. So nothing to worry about their sizes. The kefir grains adapt to climatic condition (temperature) and milk quality used to ferment and change their shapes and sizes.
There is also nothing to worry too much if they are not multiplying or growing, it does its job to ferment the milk into kefir. We should worry only once the fermentation stops and milk does not turn sour and still tastes milky after 24-48 hours (in ideal temperature). Once there is favorable conditions for kefir grains to grow, the growth will be definitely witnessed.
We have given some important tried and tested recommendations for growing healthy kefir grains in this page.
The following recommendations will give you more ideas to keep your kefir grains happy and also growing in quantity.
Optimum temperature or climatic condition
The kefir grains loves a soothing temperature between 22°C to 25°C Degree. This is the best temperature for them to grow well (even in size). If the temperature goes below 22°C, their growth becomes slightly sluggish. If the temperature goes more than 25°C, they get stressed and may break down to smaller size. Here, we would recommend to place the jar in suitable room with ideal temperature as suggested.
People who stay in cold places below 22°C, please try to place the culture jar in the kitchen table top area (away from stove) where it is warm.
People who stay in warm geographical locations (above 25°C), place the fermenting jar in relatively cold rooms (except bathrooms) in your house. Also, you can give a try by placing the jar in big bowl of cool water and be careful by not submerging it. Important note, you will have to change the water daily and clean the bottom bowl or plate regularly, it may develop mold, spread and contaminate kefir within the jar.
Feed with Good quality organic milk and Increase the Frequency
Please keep in mind, the kefir grains uses the milk substance (mainly lactose) to grow new kefir grains. Identify the ORGANIC & unadulterated full fat milk to encourage the growth of the grains. If the dairy packer milk has residual anti-biotics it inhibits the kefir grains growth.
We suggest to use cow's milk, we found it best. You can also use buffalo milk, but it turns very creamy due to excess cream, and it becomes difficult to separate the grains and kefir milk after fermentation. In our experience, buffalo milk makes the grain smaller in size (but not to worry about sizes again).
Once the fermentation is done, the kefir grains needs new batch of milk, so increase the frequency of changing milk to keep them healthy.
Remember, if the quantity of grains are more, you should feed more milk proportionately or it will be underfed.
Place the jar in well ventilated room.
The fermentation needs good flow of fresh air and air exit. The kefir grains growth is directly related to availability of proper ventilation.
Choose a best jar, with wide mouth and a large base.
Use a shallow wide container to ferment kefir milk. This will facilitate each of the grains to rest down and feed on the milk instead of clumping up at the top of a narrow jar.
Keep the grains smaller in quantity.
You can divide the grains to different bottles and feed more milk, this will help grains to avail more nutrients in the food.
To conclude, we should always remember milk kefir grains are living things, consisting of good bacteria's and yeast, they need to be carefully handled and fed with good amount of feed (organic and full fat milk on frequent basis) to be nurtured, reproduce and stay healthy.

Similar to other regulators such as IIROC, the OSC will use the
risk ranking as a tool to allocate their staff resources effectively
by focusing compliance activities on higher risk firms. The
OSC indicated that in 2012 it has started conducting on-site
compliance reviews of firms that are higher risk based on their
responses to the RAQ.
The OSC has also indicated that it will no longer provide
reminders with respect to the deadline for filings, believe that it is the
responsibility of the firm to have a sufficient compliance structure
in place that enables it to comply with all regulatory requirements.
If a filing deadline is not met, it may affect a firm's continued
suitability for registration and may result in terms and conditions
being imposed on the firm's registration or even suspension of
registration. In addition, firms will incur late filing fees of $100 for
each business day that the filing is late, to a maximum of $5,000
annually. Ouch.
IFRS and Financial Reporting
Part 12, Division 4 of NI 31-103 sets out the financial reporting
obligations for registered firms. It requires Ontario-based
registrants to deliver their annual audited financial statements
(and related calculation of excess working capital- the NI31-
103F1) to the OSC within 90 days after their financial year end.
For financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, Ontario-based registrants are required to deliver to the OSC their annual
audited financial statements that are prepared using IFRS. IFRS
also applies to certain Ontario-based registrants that are required
to prepare and deliver interim financial information to the OSC.
An exemption is available to registrants from the requirement
to provide comparative information in financial statements and
interim financial information for the financial year beginning in
2011; however, in my experience, for many EMDs the cure is
worse than the disease. It is oftentimes more work to address
the reasons for not providing comparative information than just
getting it done.
Calculating Excess Working Capital
The OSC noted that some firms are not accurately
calculating their excess working capital on Form 31-103F1
Calculation of Excess Working Capital (Form 31-103F1).
When calculating excess working capital, registered firms shouldexclude any current assets that are not readily convertible intocash, such as prepaid expenses and security deposits with serviceproviders. The OSC also have concerns with firms that includeaccounts receivables, especially from related parties, that are notreadily convertible to cash. Any receivables that are not able tobe converted to cash in a prompt and timely manner should beexcluded from the excess working capital calculation.
Insurance Coverage
The OSC noted some instances of inadequate insurance
coverage where the amount of insurance required is based on
calculations which include the firm's total assets as well as clients'
assets under management. Registered firms should account for
the expected growth in their business in determining the amount
of insurance coverage to ensure that their coverage is adequate.
Registered firms should also ensure that their bonding
or insurance provides for a "double aggregate limit" or "full
reinstatement" of coverage. To ensure adequate insurance
coverage, registered firms should: (1) factor in any expected
increase in the firm's assets or their clients' assets under
management for the next year when determining the amount of
their insurance coverage, and, (2) regularly review the adequacy
of their insurance coverage, especially when there is a material
change in their business or circumstances.
A Reminder for Chief Compliance Officers
The OSC notes that there is often no evidence that aregistered firm's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) has submittedan annual report to the firm's board of directors (or its equivalent)that assesses the firm's, and its registered individuals',compliance with securities law. Section 5.2 of NO 31-103 outlinesthe responsibilities of the firm's CCO and thus firms and CCO'sare reminded to prepare a written annual report. In my experience,the report should be appended to the director minutesIn summary, I always find it useful to learn from theexperiences of others. I recommend you review the OSC'scomments to see what may be applicable to your firm.The EMDA provides an in-depth forum to look at financial regulatoryrequirements at the EMDA's CFO Education Series: RegulatoryFinancial Reporting Certificate Program that was held in Calgary,Vancouver and Toronto in November this year. In future articles, I willcontinue to discuss other emerging developments of interest to EMDs.

Malaysian varsity maps 2000-year-old Gandhara civilisation in Peshawar
Kuala Lumpur, July 11, 2013 (PPI-OT): Pakistan High Commissioner to Malaysia Mr. Shahid Kiani has felicitated a team of 30 Malaysian researchers who recently carried out a seminal study of the 2000-year-old Gandhara civilization in Peshawar.
"Pakistan is home to some of the world's greatest and oldest civilizations and the Gandhara civilization which flourished in north west of Pakistan some 2000 years ago, is one of them and it is great to learn about researchers from Malaysia to go to Peshawar and map the remains of this rich civilization," he said in a statement on the return from Pakistan of a 30-member team led by Prof Mokhtar Saidin, Director of the Centre for Global Archaeological Research (CGAR) of Universiti Sains Malaysia' (USM) which conducted this month-long research as part of the USM-University of Peshawar (UoP) framework signed on April 3, 2013.
The research team visited Peshawar from June 4 until July 2, 2013 and mapped the famous Kashmir Smast site besides studying its early civilisation, prehistory and reconstruction of the palaeoenvironment there.
Mr. Shahid Kiani welcomed the research, calling it historic and epoch-making, given the new insights it had provided into the great Gandhara civilisation. He said Pakistan would continue to welcome such initiatives and further encourage academic exchanges and collaborations between Pakistani universities and their counterparts elsewhere in the world to bring out new facets of the rich civilizations which had flourished for centuries in the areas constituting Pakistan.
CGAR director Prof Mokhtar Saidin also hailed the project which allowed the university an opportunity in the studies of early civilisation, prehistory and reconstruction of the palaeo-environment there. The team did a complete magnetic anomaly mapping of the Kashmir Smast Cave (Great Cave), Kashmir Smast monastery, spring water tank and great water tank to identify their future research potential.
During the mapping exercises, the team made two discoveries of Gandhara stone tools inside the UoP campus and an 'adze' stone tool at the Kashmir Smast site. The results of the preliminary studies prove the importance of Kashmir Smast in the prehistoric period and early civilisation.

Hi Anamei
Thank you for sharing your story with us. What was going on at Kohimarama School that made your family decide to visit there? Does someone in your family go to that school?
I wonder if your parents found something nice in the inorganic collections for you? I got a surf board once that someone was throwing out!

So, the same old, same old problem with giffgaff and Skype turns out to be not just giffgaff-specific.
The problem, as I've said many times, occurs when you try calling an international number via Skype using giffgaff as your data provider. The other party can hear you but you can't hear the other party. Once you switch VPN on, all is fine.
Trying to resolve it with giffgaff got me quite a few grey hairs - swap a sim, order a new sim, jump on your left foot... The fact that everything works just fine via VPN connection (same sim, same device, etc.) was conveniently ignored - scripts are über alles.
Then I come across this - https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Android/Problem-with-4g-connection/td-p/1086684
The very same problem reported by an O2 customer.
So, it does look like there's some traffic shaping happening on a higher level (O2) that potentially affects their MVNOs and if that's the case, I wonder whether this would be in breach of Net Neutrality rules.
Time for another round of investigations methinks 🙂 .
With the data speeds you reported though, I don't think there is any reason to believe you will get clear signal and good enough data speeds to get a good connection through Skype. That is why agents are struggling to explain how to troubleshoot. Or maybe you are right at o2 level and giffgaff just isn't aware?
The underlying issue I believe is that your speeds aren't good enough. I may be wrong
Now what I struggle to get my head around it is your claim that a VPN enabled clears this issue. May I ask where you set to vpn location to? With vpn enabled what speeds do you get for data downloads?
Would be interesting to see what your further investigation comes up with.
These are the speeds now. Pretty poor and obviously throttled but more than enough for a Skype audio call
Where do you set VPN to? UK or abroad?
Just trying to figure out how VPN makes the difference.
Have you tried this this in a different phone? @exmember-9854373
@exmember-9854373 wrote:
@persco VPN makes a difference because to O2 all traffic looks "neutral" whent it's on, it can't distinguish Skype traffic from web browsing or messaging, neither can tell which apps or services are generating the traffic. Whether the VPN is set to UK or abroad, doesn't matter in this instance.

I am aware but question is why you can hear them and they can't hear you. If a call comes through on skype without vpn do you hear them ok or same problem?
I would assume messaging works fine as not audio even though still Skype traffic? Are video calls fine or same problem?
I will try this as well when my goodybag renews as am nearly out.
Try a video call then non VPN because I would think if this is a throttling issue, video calls may be affected even though I would think people don't use that often on a phone on Skype so they could have just applied it on audio calls.
Have you raised this with skype as this could be a API config issue as well. They will see traffic to their api and check if some are being blocked/throttled network level or not.
Inferring from anecdotal reports of speed issues it would appear giffgaff get a percentage of the available bandiwdth on a cell so a speed test will vary throughout the day depending on the load on the cell.
The ping looks ok (for VoIP latency of up to 100 ms is usually tolerable) but I would carry out the test again use a manually selected server on the UK mainland as traffic traversing submarine cables can sometimes add a bit to the measured latency.
Skype, Youtube and the like tend to use as much bandwidth as they can obtain to improve quality so has to be managed to avoid heavy load on the network, I don't know if O2 and giffgaff do block it but it maybe that they block the voice function to avoid heavy bandwidth use and rapid use of any allowance which it will do if it can, obviously when traffic is encapsulated via a VPN the network sees nothing but an SSL or TLS session
I think the networks that do support it have some sort of internal server that can control it's bandwidth use.
EDIT: Just tested on a non-telefonica connection running at 115/32mbps and it used less than 20KB/s throughout the call, so I was a little off. It's 72mb/hr at full pelt, but still well below what should and would trouble any ISP mobile or otherwise, in the United Kingdom.
Could be that yes, but Skype now is client to server as opposed to P2P but probably uses the same ports so could still be tripped up by traffic management based on ports.
I found Skype to be crap years ago so haven't dabbled since.
Found this in case it helps
@exmember-9854373 is it just Skype that the issue happens with or does it affect all forms of VoIP do you know?
If you wish to raise a complaint have a look here https://giffgaff.com/support/complaints
As @k89bpa has said it might be more as a result of Skype historically being P2P (as I said it it's not an app I use)

By and large, you come across two kinds of radio broadcasters. There are those who see the medium as a means to an end, to discuss what's important to them: electronic music, world politics, the discs you would take to a desert island. Then there are people such as Greg James, the host of the Radio 1 drivetime show for the past six years, who have a passion for radio itself. Once upon a time they were called anoraks; he prefers the term "radio nerd". He is highly invested in the production of the show. His heroes are Terry Wogan, Alan Partridge and Ricky Gervais – he can still recite links from the latter's Xfm show 13 years after it was last broadcast.
Even when he started to do endurance challenges for Sport Relief – in 2013 he was part of the group of celebrities who faced the rapids and crocodiles of the Zambezi river; in 2016 he completed five triathlons in five days – what attracted him was not, he says, thrill-seeking but bringing excitement back to his show. "I just want to make great event radio. I hate the idea of getting to the end of a show and there's nothing to remember."
For his most recent effort, the #Gregathlon, James, 32, was going to climb the three tallest peaks in England, Wales and Scotland, and cycle the 500 miles between them in five days. Even by the standards of these kinds of big TV challenges, it sounded extremely tough. Still, you got the feeling that the preamble about James being not sure if he would be able to manage it and Olympic champion cyclist Chris Hoy saying there was "no way" that he would try a challenge so "mad" was probably just producers ratcheting up the tension before an emotional but inevitable triumph.
What they couldn't have predicted was the worst week of British weather for years. The "beast from the east" and storm Emma brought perilous conditions and deep snow just as he was setting off. "I started with Mount Snowdon. It was like an episode of 999 with Michael Buerk. My foot would go into the snow and it was going up to my knee," he says. The cycling, which was supposed to be done on a road bike, had to be done on a mountain bike in flurries of falling snow. All the while, James was trying to host his show from a microphone strapped to his helmet.
After the second mountain, Scafell Pike, James was told that conditions were too treacherous and he wouldn't be allowed to continue. He seemed distraught. "It just felt like a real balloon being popped. You obviously know you're on the radio so you want to get the emotion across, but I became genuinely choked up."
Two weeks after Greg's return, we are sitting in his manager's office in London. In his jeans, T-shirt and jacket, he looks a bit like how a child might draw "a man". Soon he's going to head to Radio 1 to do his show, then up to Scotland to tackle the challenge again (listeners heard him complete it live on air Friday afternoon – as he finished he learned that he had raised more than £900,000).
He was determined to finish what he started but says the disappointment of not being able to do it in one go struck a chord with the purpose of the stunt, to raise money and awareness for mental health issues.
"It was the perfect metaphor for the whole week because we were going: 'Don't ever feel frightened to say that you're feeling like shit because there will be somebody you know that has gone through it.'"
He says he's been overwhelmed by the honesty and emotion from listeners that has come from opening up the conversation about depression and anxiety, which I am sure is true. But I say I'm cynical about how much brands have been "raising awareness" about mental health during the past couple of years, often suggesting people find someone to talk to. While that is an important first step, it doesn't necessarily help the millions of people who are suffering from serious mental health problems, for whom NHS services are getting worse.
"Yeah, that's the downfall of everything that gets in the news cycle; people jump on bandwagons. But I'm very, very careful to not do those sorts of things for the sake of it. Most people sliding into the DMs [direct messaging on social media] were just kind of going: 'I'm a bloke, I'm 24, I feel like I've got to pretend to be a lad, and I don't know how to talk about these things, but hearing you talk about them helped.' Also, we raised a load of money to fund those sorts of projects. But my next step is do something with mental health groups that is a bit more sustainable, maybe with an organisation that needs someone to chat to young blokes, for example. I would like to do that."
It is true that James has a unique skill, even among Radio 1 DJs, for connecting with ordinary young people. He feels, I say, like the torchbearer on the station for a certain kind of normal university lad: someone who goes to the gym, doesn't take themselves too seriously, wouldn't mind dressing up in a tutu and goes to clubs where they play cheesy music. Other hosts on the station are hired because they are from the in-crowd and can tell the listeners what's cool. He seems to have been hired because, like the listeners, he doesn't really care.
"I wouldn't say I was a lad, I'm not the beer pong guy. But I think you're right, I really do feel like I know the listeners. I don't want anyone to feel excluded. I'm phobic of the celebrity world. I'm a big music fan, but I'm not the music impresario. So yeah, I take that as a huge compliment because I feel like, once you join the circus, you can't take the piss out of the circus."
James's devotion to his audience comes at a time when young people are increasingly turning away from radio. Radio 1's total listenership has fallen from 11.8 million in September of 2011 to 10.5 million in September 2017. When the last round of figures were announced, Radio 4 went to ask a bunch of schoolchildren whether they listen to Radio 1 or had heard of its breakfast presenter Nick Grimshaw. None of them had.
"Well, these things can be quite cyclical," says James. "It doesn't mean just because one generation of kids are like, 'what the fuck's that?' that you can't reinvent it again." He says the station went through a confused period when it wasn't sure which audience to aim at and there was a feeling that it had to shed older listeners at any cost. "I think things have stabilised a bit more since then, which is to say Radio 1 appreciates that if you get the mums and dads, then you have people like my niece and nephew who are eight years old, and I think it can start again like that. When we were going through the Lake District [for the Gregathlon] and there was a dad on the front doorstep with his two sons and he was like, 'Go on Greg!' and the kids were like, 'Yeahhh'. I am literally cycling past the listeners of Radio 1: 'Good morning, good evening, make sure you're listening tomorrow from 4pm.' It's campaigning."
I also wonder what he thinks about how Radio 1 is responding to increased pressures at the BBC for greater diversity. He is part of a daytime lineup of three white men, along with Scott Mills and Nick Grimshaw, and one black woman – Clara Amfo. But Radio 1 also has a sister station, 1Xtra, with black daytime hosts playing music by predominantly black artists. Does it make sense in 2018 that there is basically a white Radio 1 and a black Radio 1?
"Enormous question … Yeah, it does. There are lots of examples of the stations working more closely together and they do help each other out, but they should help each other out more. I totally see your point about having this station for this kind of person, and this station for that kind of person, but shows such as Charlie Sloth's are on both networks and it's not an issue. There should be more cross-pollination. I was on Dotty's [rapper Amplify Dot] breakfast show talking about the challenge and actually, we had that conversation. I was like, 'Why haven't we done this more?'"
One area in which the station has had major success is on YouTube where viral videos, such as James singing with Taylor Swift, have views in the tens of millions. But in that space, Radio 1 is competing for young eyeballs with a huge number of vloggers, a medium that for many in that age group is the new radio. The station has made attempts to bring these internet stars into the fold by giving them shows or other segments. But Greg is distrustful of the way they flog products in their videos to make a living.
"Influencers are absolutely in my crosshairs in the minute. The disdain some of them have for their own fanbase is mindblowing, just selling crap to them the whole time."
So he never wants a free weekend at Babington House in return for a few tweets?
"Ha! It would be a hollow weekend, that's the thing. I like paying for things. I like paying tax. I think there are quite a few people in the public eye who don't like paying tax and don't like paying for things. It's nice to pay tax because that's a nurse or a teacher. I'm quite righteous about that."
It's not just their rapaciousness that he finds offensive. As a radio perfectionist himself, he seems stunned by the content itself. "It's terrifying, watching some moron bake a cake and it gets 5m views. But shit stuff has always been popular. Lots of people on YouTube need a boss to tell them when they're being bad. I've had producers and amazing writers saying: 'Woah you need to refine those ideas.' But they have not got that. No wonder it's awful."
So he's not worried they might rise up and steal his show? "Hopefully, it works itself out, maybe people will grow out of it and go: 'Oh why did I watch that person make a rainbow unicorn cake, that was embarrassing.' Fingers crossed. Either that, or I'll be doing infomercials with Zoella."
James was born in south London in 1985, his parents both teachers. Growing up, his two loves were cricket and radio. He played for Hertfordshire under-18s, and, after hearing that his future colleague Mills started out on hospital radio, found the local station and tried out a show there. He followed up on university radio at the University of East Anglia, obsessing over editing and creating his own jingles. He was soon discovered by Radio 1, hosting his first show for the station the day after he graduated. It was the early breakfast slot, starting at 4am.
"I loved that show so much because I was completely fearless. It was the happiest I've ever been. Then I moved to afternoons and I was really miserable because I didn't know what I was doing. I was young and just moved to London and [was] just getting drunk all the time and a little bit famous. I used to panic a lot about it all. I used to worry about someone else getting a job, thinking: 'Argh, why haven't I got that show?' or 'Why is he doing so well?'"
He moved to drivetime where he says he found his groove and, in the last four years has felt comfortable enough to try other projects. He hosts a cricket podcast for 5 Live with Jimmy Anderson and is writing a series of children's books, Kid Normal, with Chris Smith, who hosts the news on his show. "We worked really hard on them because we didn't want it to be: 'Those two twats from the radio think they can just do a book now.'" It's paid off – the first book was the bestselling children's debut of last year.
He is also co-hosting Sounds Like Friday Night, the BBC's sort-of Top of the Pops replacement. Ratings for the initial run were solid, but there was something a little off about it. The sketches were flat and James and co-host Dotty seemed to feign naivety about the music they were introducing in a way that felt at odds with their radio personas.
"It wasn't a disaster and it's coming back for another series. But it's hard, it's really hard to land a music show where you've got Stefflon Don in the slot where A Question of Sport was the week before. I think we'll make the show feel looser and not overthink it too much. The reason I wanted to do it is because I could show off, do interviews, run around, interview the audience and have a laugh. It didn't quite happen in the first series, so I want to do that for the second."
We have been talking for more than an hour and there is something strangely unflappable about James. While he might have had struggles in the past, he now seems content in every part of his life. I tell him that I'm not sure I've ever met anyone who seems to be so sorted.
"Yeah, it's probably boring for you, but I do feel quite content. It's only happened in the last year or so that things have slotted into place. I have found peace with my love life, feel happy with my friends and I am looking after my family. It's made me funnier on air and better at my job. The moment I stopped overthinking it, when I realised that I don't have to go to that party, or get to that place, I realised there was nowhere I wanted to get to. Radio is my skill, it's like plumbing, and now I've learned that I get to try other things and enjoy that."
Two days later, I am at home listening to James power through a 120-mile cycle in relentless rain. He sounds in pieces, saying it's harder than even the first part of the challenge. Still, he finds time to guess the age of some local children, have a conversation about teen mental health and do an extended link about farts. You've got to say, it's pretty good radio.

Here is Ruto's long-awaited response to Murathe's endless onslaught
Deputy President William Ruto has for the first time publicly responded to his key detractor, former Jubilee Party vice chairperson David Murathe.
The DP was responding to a question from a Financial Times journalist after speaking at the Chatham House in London, United Kingdom on Friday afternoon.
At first, he gave the impression that he would not address the substantive aspect of the question, saying: "I have not responded to David Murathe in Kenya and I am not about to respond to him in Europe."
Mr Ruto then said that Mr Murathe was at liberty to express his opinions.
"Whatever thing he is raising he is at liberty to raise those things. I am ready to respond to any allegation against my character or in anything I engage in," he said.
"But the decision of Jubilee candidate is not a personal decision but that of a political party called Jubilee under the leadership of President Uhuru Kenyatta and members of the political party."
He added: "But for the moment we are not focused on who becomes the 2022 candidate but delivering on the Jubilee Party's manifesto."
Mr Murathe was forced to quit as vice chairman of the ruling Jubilee party after he opposed Mr Ruto's candidature in 2022.
He claims that the DP, by virtue of being party to the presidency for two terms, should be barred from running for president in 2022.
He has vowed to seek a legal opinion from the Supreme Court on the matter. He has also questioned the DP's integrity.
Mr Murathe has said it is time for other tribes to rule the country.

Poor conditions caused by major maintenance at the Desglos sanitary landfill are a source of distress to staff of the Saint Lucia Solid Waste Management Authority (SLSWMA) and users of the site, the authority has acknowledged.
The SLSWMA has however apologised for the inconvenience, admitting that due to the upgrades currently being undertaken, the waiting period at the landfill for vehicles disposing waste is in excess of half an hour.
According to authority, the maintenance at the Deglos landfill is to facilitate the general upkeep of the site and in particular major improvement to the access road.
In a press release, the SLSWMA observed that the situation at the landfill has also resulted in delays in the collection service provided to residents.
"Residents in some areas particularly in the north of the island should therefore anticipate a later collection service until all landfill works are completed," the release noted.
It advised users of the landfill to continue to exercise caution and patience during visits to the facility, as current maintenance work when completed will serve to improve the service offered to the public including the flow of traffic and timely disposal of waste.

Niemann-Pick disease type C
Niemann-Pick disease type C is one of a group of rare inherited disorders. It is not related to frontotemporal dementia, which is also sometimes called Pick's disease.
- Rarer types of dementia
- Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
- HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND)
- Corticobasal syndrome (CBS)
- Huntington's disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- You are here: Niemann-Pick disease type C
- Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH)
- Parkinson's disease
- Posterior cortical atrophy
- Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP)
- Rarer types of dementia - other resources
Rarer causes of dementia
It mainly affects school-age children but can occur at any time, from early infancy to adulthood. It is caused by an inherited inability to deal with cholesterol and other fats, causing them to accumulate in cells, including those in the brain. This can lead to progressive loss of movement and difficulties with walking and swallowing.
People who first show symptoms in late adolescence or early adulthood are more likely to experience dementia as part of the disease. The dementia symptoms include confusion, memory problems and difficulties in concentrating and learning.
There is currently no treatment for the disease, and life expectancy varies. However, researchers have identified the responsible gene and there is continuing research into this area.

Requesting Mass Intentions
Requesting that a Mass be Offered for a Particular Person or Cause
St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church accepts offerings for Mass intentions. Those wishing to have a Mass said for a particular person or cause can come by the office or contact office at (361) 937-3864 for more information.
St. Paul the Apostle Policies Regarding Mass Intentions
- Suggested offering - $5.00 (but more or less is accepted) (make payable to St. Paul the Apostle)
- The intention can be for a deceased person or a living person. Does not need to be Catholic.
- The Intention can be for another need of the Church: i.e. world peace, vocations to the priesthood and religious life, conversion of sinners, etc. In these types of intentions they should be "general" and not specific to an individual.
- A specific Mass time and date can be requested, but if that date is taken, the Mass will be assigned to the closest possible date of your choosing.
- If we have a backlog of requests, we may limit the number of Mass intentions a person can request.
- The Mass intention is usually mentioned during the prayers of the faithful, but even if it is not, the Mass if offered for the intention posted in the bulletin.
- The published intention is the priest's primary intention for that Mass. If there are priests concelebrating, each priest may have his own intention.
- Each member of the faithful may offer the Mass for his or her own intention. The merits of the Mass are infinite.
Those wishing to honor a loved one during the celebration of Mass may pick up Mass cards in the parish office. Mass cards are available for the living and deceased and provide opportunities for prayerful remembrance of anniversaries, birthdays, and other special intentions. Masses are usually booked at least several months in advance so if you have a particular date or time on which you want the Mass, it is very important that you call the parish office well ahead of time.
What are Mass Intentions?
The sacrifice of the Mass has an infinite value and indeed there is no objective limitation to the number of intentions that can be offered at any Mass. The Church, however, normally allows only one intention with a stipend united to each Mass. In order to grasp the issues involved, it may help to realize what happens when a priest, or his representative, accepts a stipend to have a Mass said for a specific person or intention. The person who has offered the stipend has not purchased the grace of the Mass, a thing which is patently impossible. What has happened is that the priest has committed himself to celebrate a Mass according to the intentions of the person making the offering.
This intention is quite often to recommend the soul of a deceased person but may also be for the personal intentions of the living. In some cases the commitment is to ensure that the Mass is celebrated within a year, but frequently also involves other conditions such as a specific time or place for the Mass, especially to coincide with an anniversary of death or when the person requesting the Mass has great interest in personally participating in the celebration.
Once he has accepted the commitment the priest is bound in justice to fulfill it and may not normally accept or substitute other intentions for the same Mass. The priest's intention is essentially a spiritual and internal act through which he commends the intention to God in a particular way even though he is free to offer up any number of other personal intentions, without stipends for the Sacrifice of the Mass is of Infinite Value. He does not necessarily have to know the person for whom he is offering up the Mass. And in some cases — for example, if unaware of the customs of the church where he is celebrating — it is enough for him to know that an intention was requested and he celebrates the Mass according to the intention of the donor.
Sometimes, more people request Mass intentions at which they desire to attend than is compatible with parish schedules, a situation ever more common due to the lack of priests. To address this desire, the Holy See has authorized bishops to allow the celebration of Masses with several intentions. These "cumulative" Masses can only be celebrated with the explicit permission of the local bishop. At St. Paul the Apostle our "cumulative" mass each week is at the 7pm Wednesday Mass. In this case the priest receives the stipend for one intention and the rest is sent to the diocese for the education of our seminarians.

No More Silos
Once upon a time there was a system that allowed people to communicate and work together. Anyone could write to anyone else, at any time. Nobody owned it. Instead, it was based on an open standard that everyone in the world recognized. It could be saved, exported, imported, and edited. It didn't require anyone use one system or another just to respond, and it didn't harass people into using it.
But then it was overwhelmed. Conversations were buried under a deluge of free Viagra offers. It became a catch-all for identity management, notifications, offers, and receipts. It was used for chat, group task management, file sharing, knowledge management, and almost every other work-related activity. "It's broken" people lamented. "It's dead" the press repeated. "Our new product eliminates it" startups proclaimed.
But along the slow and winding path to its grave, people began to correct the causes of that overload. Spam, the unsolvable problem that was supposed to kill it, was actually solved. Notifications, receipts, and offers got banished to an inbox no one looked at. Chat went to where it belonged: a chat client. Shockingly, with much of the cruft removed, the system started working again in the way it was intended.
Dozens of companies popped up promising to help "fix" email's (the beautiful, antiquated, yet somehow still indispensable and open protocol) last core problem — group task management and activity coordination — but each new solution would force a group to create an entirely new communication stream inside a closed platform. If you didn't use it, you were out of the loop (or even worse, bombarded by a stream of useless notifications). None of these made email better, they simply routed around it, but in doing so they lost the openness and flexibility that made email great. Some of these new platforms caught on, most didn't. They required complete adoption to function, but complete adoption is extremely difficult to enforce in a team employed by a single company, and impossible in a team that's composed of multiple parties, like contractors, volunteers, agencies, and partners.
We started Emmerge with the core belief that collaboration shouldn't be siloed: that it should increase visibility and accountability, and collectivize task management and coordination, but it shouldn't do so by forcing everyone into a single platform. We believed we could make the existing communication stream better, smarter, and even a little faster — without routeing around it.
When we were introduced to the Threadable team, who believe the same thing, and who were working on almost the same problem from a slightly different angle, we knew we had found some fellow travelers. When they agreed to join us on our journey we were thrilled. They had spent years helping groups inside and across organizations collaborate better without leaving their inbox, and had already figured out how to avoid many of the pitfalls we were discovering.
Together, we're making email work better for teamwork. We're moving the parts of the conversation that should be in the cloud — the action items, the history, the files — to the cloud. We give any participant visibility into those key artifacts, and let them take action, whether they join Emmerge or not. No concerns about partial adoption, no lost information or switching costs, and no change of habits. The conversation is the interface, and the conversation must flow freely. No more silos.

It's Easter Sunday. A day where death was turned into life. Where everything changed for me. The day I began to really live.
Easter means a reason to celebrate. A reason to go on. More than just something we do once a year – it is something that holds meaning for us who know Jesus – every day of the year.
It means that even sin and death cannot separate us from the love of God – shining down and moving within us.
It is the final victory – our anthem carried deep in our hearts and it is our ultimate theme song.
A risen Jesus – no longer imprisoned or confined to death's agenda – breaking through that icy grip of Satan and presenting us with that same power to sustain our ordinary lives – give us a new reason to exist – not be enslaved any longer to sin and most of all to give us an opportunity to live with renewed hope for the future.
As I was looking for a song that would describe this risen Jesus – I was struck by this next song by Phillips, Craig and Dean. It speaks so beautifully of God's love. That He – in his terrible love – would shine His light on us. "That we may be saved, that we may have life – to find our way in the darkest night – let your grace fall on us…"
I am praying that you too would know this risen Jesus – and let His love shine down on you.
God Bless
