This semester in Professor Lisa Mazzie's Advanced Legal Writing: Writing for Law Practice seminar, students are required to write one blog post on a law- or law school-related topic of their choice. Writing blog posts as a lawyer is a great way to practice writing skills, and to do so in a way that allows the writer a little more freedom to showcase his or her own voice, and—eventually for these students—a great way to maintain visibility as a legal professional. Here is one of those blog posts, this one written by 2L Mariana Concepcion.
Last summer after finishing my 1L year, I was at the beach. While I was enjoying the warm Texas sun, my brother asked me, "So, what's your goal in law school?" Because it was a few days after taking my last final, I thought about answering "I don't ever want to go back." But I didn't say that, I was just really tired.
I gave the question some thought as I looked out at the sea. What was my goal in law school? Why was I going back? So, I told my brother that my goal was to find my own voice so that I could use it to help those who don't have a voice.
Find my own voice? I can talk, right? I may not be the loudest person on earth, but I have a voice. But finding my own voice wasn't just about finding my speaking voice; it was more than that. I wanted to find my own voice because that would help me become more confident in myself, something I have struggled with for most of my life. If I could find that confidence in myself then I would be able to find my voice and use my voice to speak for those who don't have a voice. Continue reading "Finding My Confidence"

The gospel alone provides the rest from viewing our "work" as our source, our worth, or our identity.
The author explains the concept of the sabbath, helping us to understand 1) what Sabbath is, 2) why it is the source of rest, and 3) how it points us to Jesus. The text then points to "how" you can enter this Sabbath rest.

Firebrand Rapinoe can crown whirlwind year
Fearless forward expected to complete awards sweep by bagging Ballon d'Or
Megan Rapinoe will complete an unprecedented clean sweep of honors on Monday night if the trailblazing World Cup star and feminist icon adds the Women's Ballon d'Or to her collection of accolades.
The 34-year-old striker was the star of this year's Women's World Cup, scoring six goals as the United States successfully defended the title won in 2015.
Rapinoe's tournament goals tally earned her the Golden Boot for top scorer while she was also awarded the Golden Ball for the tournament's best player.
Rapinoe picked up FIFA's Best Women's Player award in September, and is now the favorite for what is only the second edition of the Ballon d'Or Feminin, won by Norway's Ada Hegerberg in 2018.
Victory in Paris would crown a remarkable year for Rapinoe which has seen her enhance her reputation as a warrior both on and off the pitch.
Her performances at the World Cup were a critical part of the United States' title defense, most notably a two-goal display in a 2-1 victory over host France in the quarterfinals.
But Rapinoe has garnered almost as much attention in 2019 for her unflinching advocacy of social justice off the field.
That readiness to speak her mind famously brought her into conflict with US President Donald Trump during the World Cup in June.
Rapinoe had provoked Trump's ire in comments made several months before the tournament when she stated bluntly that she would not attend a White House reception for the US team if it brought home the World Cup.
"I am a big fan of the American Team, and Women's Soccer," Trump wrote on Twitter. "But Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job!"
Rapinoe did indeed go on to finish the job several days later, scoring the opening goal in a 2-0 defeat of the Netherlands in the final in Lyon to seal back-to-back World Cup triumphs.
Calls for unity
Since then, Rapinoe has happily kept on talking.
At a victory parade in New York in July, Rapinoe, who is gay, saluted the diversity of the all-conquering US team while calling for unity.
"We have to be better," Rapinoe told a cheering crowd of thousands. "We have to love more, hate less. We got to listen more and talk less.
"We got to know that this is everybody's responsibility. Every single person here, every single person who's not here, every single person who doesn't want to be here. Every single person who agrees and doesn't agree. It's our responsibility to make this world a better place."
Rapinoe returned to that theme at an awards ceremony earlier this month, when she was honored as one of Glamour magazine's "Women of the Year".
Rapinoe used the event to draw attention to the plight of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Kaepernick ignited controversy in 2016 after kneeling during the US national anthem in a protest against racial injustice.
Rapinoe was one of the first athletes to kneel in solidarity with Kaepernick, who has effectively been frozen out of the league since his season of protest.
Rapinoe said Kaepernick's plight made her determined to continue her fight for social justice and equality.
"It would be a slap in the face to Colin, and to so many other faces, not to acknowledge, and for me personally, to work relentlessly to dismantle that system that benefits some over the detriment of others, and frankly is quite literally tearing us apart in this country," she said.
Back in the sporting arena, Rapinoe has eased her way back into the fray.
Exhaustion and a sore Achilles left her sidelined until September, when she returned to play for Seattle's Reign FC in the National Women's Soccer League.
Rapinoe returned to the US team for two October friendlies against South Korea, and is expected to be a key member of the US squad for next year's Olympics, where she will be chasing a second gold medal.

Experienced by Kimatni D. Rawlins
Fall weather is upon us, which means the start of a new sports season for my high school soccer striker and her charismatic teammates. So, of course, when I pulled up to practice in a Machine Gray Metallic 2019 MAZDA CX-9 Signature AWD, the largest vehicle on the MAZDA roster, coach Smith immediately ran over to inquire if the Japanese SUV had a 3rd row. Yes, I replied and asked if the team needed any help for the season opener. "Funny you ask," she replied and assigned me to escort six members to the game since the school doesn't provide the female teams with buses. Nevertheless, the bonding was priceless, and the girls were fascinated with the comfort and amenities of the CX-9. [Read more…]

Although widespread, the practice of feeding stubbles hasn't really got a lot going for it. The major benefit comes from grain on the ground and weeds.
Following harvest there is a decline in the digestibility of unharvested stubble of about 1% per week , with a greater decline if there is summer rain.
It is essential to have a good supply of quality water that can meet the demand of the sheep grazing stubble paddocks. Depending on the weather, the stubble type and the salt content of the water, weaners wll drink up to 7 litres a day and adults, more than this. Troughs in stubble paddocks need regular cleaning so performance is not affected.
CEREAL STUBBLES. Young sheep are unlikely to have weight gains of more than 80 G per head per day. This can be improved with supplementation of 100 to 150 G of lupins per head per day. This can be fed out once a week and spread amongst the stubble or fed out in troughs.
Sheep do much better on barley stubble than other cereals. Baled barley stubble has been shown to be a useful feed for sheep.
Weaner sheep on LUPIN STUBBLES, other LEGUMES and GREEN CANOLA STUBBLES will drink more water than those on cereal stubbles or green feed. Weaners on these stubbles will not travel more than around 6-800 metres from water to graze. This results in overgrazing. Graze further away is barely used so movable water troughs will allow larger paddocks to be grazed more evenly. Legume stubbles are better feed sources for young animals and for ewes before and during joining, I would make Nutri – Lifta available here. Sheep seem to like faba beans better than lupin, just seem to be more palatable. Pea stubbles are generally more fragile than other legumes and stock cannot be left on as long. With Lupin stubbles, care MUST be exercised, if, the number of grains drops below 40 per square metre or there is less than 50% ground cover then weaners will lose weight and run a real risk of LUPINOSIS. If either occurs then weaners must be moved.
If, CANOLA STUBBLES contain green leaf and stem material, they are good feed that is beneficial to weaners and ewes being flushed for joining which often takes place on canola stubble.Once the green colour goes the plant will wilt and die. Stock on such dead stubble will do no better than on on cereal stubble with weight gains seldom over 100 G/hd/day.
I would provide Nutri-Lifta to stock on stubbles or at least EconoMin or Dry Season Blocks.
Following is the minimum no of grains per square meter to have any benefit.;
Faba Bean,20, Chick Pea,50, Field Pea, 50, Lupins, 80, Barley, 250, Wheat &Oats, 280.
Other considerations are in the health area, Canola, nitrate poisoning,pulmonary emphysema,and haemolytic anaemia, Lupins, Lupinosis.Cereals, acidosis, urinary calculi (waterbelly) in rams & wethers, need additional salt to lessen risk.

I was recently asked what to look for in an golf instructor.
I am not sure I have an answer, but I do have some suggestions.
1. Find someone who will help you define your stroke or swing sequence. Technology has allowed us to move past paying for generic instruction. Specific help is available.
2. Are you looking for a coach or swing technician? The search for perfect mechanics is beneficial but doesn't always improve scores. It is easy to nit pick and say you don't have a good stroke or swing. Most players don't get what they can out of what they have, so you have to figure out what you need.
3. Make sure the conversation includes finding the right equipment for you and the movement you have defined. Club Fitting is more than just equipment specifications. Set make up is just as important.
4. Avoid what I call the Best Way Syndrome. There is a big difference between the best way for you and an instructor's personal preference. ALL of the arguments you might read on social media are a result of not knowing the difference.

Day 124
An Unhealthy Relationship With Cereal--Can I Make It Work?
I have to say that my oatmeal in the mornings is getting really old. So today I switched it up with cold cereal. Understand that cold cereal and I have had a very bad relationship. There was a time when I would eat a couple of big bowls shortly before bed. I love Cheerios, so I haven't trusted myself with cereal until this morning. I didn't buy the name brand, I kind of wish I would've, but I saved a dollar. After my cereal today I think I have to put cereal in the same category as toilet paper and cotton swabs, as in things you shouldn't skimp on. A one cup serving is only 110, plus a half a cup of 2% milk made it 170 total. Only 40 calories more than my hot instant oatmeal. The cold cereal was still good, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't Cheerios quality. I tend to over do it on the cereal, but this time I brought a measuring cup along to keep myself in check. After a busy errand-running lunch hour, I decided to have another bowl for lunch...and since that was only 340 calories total for the day, I decided on another cup of cereal and a ¼ cup of milk. By the time I got home for the day I had only consumed cereal and milk...480 calories worth. I told you I over do it on that stuff. I love it, and as long as I keep it controlled, I guess I'll be alright, besides I usually have between 500 and 700 calories by the time I pull into the garage of an afternoon. And they are my calories to consume, I guess if I wanted to eat nothing but cereal all day I could, I wouldn't of course, but I could if I wanted. This was really a bold move on my part. You see, cereal has been right up there with ice cream as far as weight loss breakers. My family would always know if I had fallen off the wagon if I was eating a big bowl of ice cream or a big bowl of cereal. So naturally I've avoided certain foods that I haven't been able to control before. I don't buy half gallons of ice cream, shoot, I don't even buy pints or quarts of ice cream anymore. Could I? Sure I could, and I could dip out a measured portion, and count the calories, but I just don't trust myself around the stuff. I don't feel as strongly about cereal, but real close. I'm mean really, three bowls today? Good thing I'm keeping it at work and not here.
One of my favorite calorie conscious alternatives to bowls of ice cream has been individual frozen treats and soft serve cones. My favorite ice cream novelty has always been Eskimo Pies. I love ice cream bars, but until recently I couldn't find any that fit my criteria. I want full taste and low calories and I don't want to spend a bundle. During the past 124 days I've settled for Dream Bars for 70 calories, and I even bought some small ice cream "bullets" that checked in at 130. But last night I discovered something that made me very happy. Blue Bunny has reduced the calories in their 'Star Bars', I think they were either 160 or 170 before, a little pricey for me, but now they come in at 110! These are full size ice cream bars, not the "bullet" size. It's a bigger bar, and still 20 calories less than the "bullet" off brand variety. Plus they come 20 in a box. I love Blue Bunny! But seriously, it's little strategies like these that keep me on track without any feeling of deprivation.
The YMCA provided a great workout tonight. They told me to only do the weight machines every other day, not every day. So I stuck with cardio in the form of two miles on the treadmill and 20 minutes in the racquetball court! It had been a while since I really pushed myself in that court, and let me tell ya, it's a workout full of big burst, followed by catching my breath, followed by big burst of energy. I wasn't as sore this morning as I thought I would be after last nights weight training. I was sore last night, but this morning, when I really expected to feel it, I didn't really. It was strange. Once again our schedule has prevented a nap in the afternoon, so I probably will go to bed early on a Friday night. I'm really whipped! Can't wait to attempt that treadmill 5K this weekend, wish me luck! Until next time, good night and...
Good Choices,

Tortured kids' mom weeps in court; siblings eat 'like they have never seen food,' lawyer says
SAN ANTONIO - Two children who had been tied up like animals in the rain last month now are in a good foster home and are eating "like they have never seen food before," their court-appointed lawyer told a judge Wednesday.
A day after authorities booked a third parent charged in the case, state District Judge Richard Garcia ruled that the children, along with six other minors taken from inside the house in Northeast Bexar County, will stay in state custody.
Officers on April 29 rescued the boy, 4, who was tied by his ankle with a dog chain in the yard, piles of his own feces around him. His 3-year-old sister had her hands tied with a leash above her head, her arm broken in two places. Authorities said the two had been physically abused for at least two weeks.
A woman in California, meanwhile, is seeking custody of the three oldest of the six children found unharmed but unattended inside the house.
Not present at Wednesday's hearing, Sherrie Taylor, 59, said by phone Wednesday that a nephew she raised as her own son is their father and said his then-wife told him in 2009 that he never would see them again.
That woman was Porucha Denise Phillips, 34, who has been jailed since April 29, when she arrived home to find Bexar County sheriff's deputies had removed her six children from her unfurnished rent house, along with the two found outside.
The mother of the two tortured children, Cheryl Reed, 30, a California resident, was arrested Friday, charged with two counts of injury to a child stemming from an earlier stay in San Antonio at a different address.
Authorities say Reed was a friend of Phillips in California, where they both had lived.
Reed wept in court Wednesday when Garcia told her she would not be allowed to visit her kids.
A lawyer for the state told Garcia that investigators were unsure who their father was. A paternity test is pending in California with a man who has not been charged in the case. Reed also has a 17-month-old infant in California, officials said.
De'andre Dorch, 36, the father of Phillips' three youngest children, turned himself in late Tuesday. He was charged with two counts of injury to a child stemming from the same previous incident.
Phillips has been charged with two felony counts of injury to a child by omission.
Bexar County Jail inmates attacked her, and she had to be moved to another facility, the sheriff's office said.
Neither Dorch nor Phillips attended Wednesday's hearing. Another hearing is set for May 20.

VOLUNTEER bushfire fighters who hope to have their say at a Bushfire Mitigation Summit are going to be disappointed.
The volunteer bush fire brigades in the Shire of Gingin include Gingin West, Gingin South, Ledge Point, Beermullah, Red Gully, Ocean Farm, Seabird, Nilgen and Guilderton.
Yanchep News Online understands a poll conducted by the shire earlier this year showed 50 per cent of volunteer firefighters wanted an independent fire service while the other 50 per cent wanted a designated service either under local government or within the Department of Fire and Emergency Services.
On June 3 Emergency Services Minister Fran Logan said the all-day event, to be held in Mandurah on Friday, June 23, would look at targets for prescribed burns, local government agency responsibilities and the experience of bushfire volunteers.
Mr Logan also said he looked forward to having an open and constructive conversation with some of the state's most experienced and valued bushfire fighters at the summit.
But on Friday, June 16 the Association of Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades president Dave Gossage said the association had been told it was only allowed to send one representative.
Mr Logan's office confirmed this and said everyone attending the summit would have just one representative apart from the Department of Fire and Emergency Services, which would have two including the commissioner Wayne Gregson.
If the Shire of Gingin poll is indicative of state-wide volunteers it indicates bushfire fighters are still to decide on the best way forward so it could be difficult for one representative to put forward the experience of bushfire volunteers.
Mr Gossage said the absence of an agenda meant the person representing volunteers would not have time to consult about the issues to be discussed and therefore unable to provide properly informed input on the day.
He said the association had written to Mr Logan telling him volunteers rarely had the capacity to meet without substantial advanced notice.
"When the bureaucracy asks for feedback on a proposal without significant forewarning and/or schedules an important meeting during office hours, it often results in not only poorly prepared (or indeed no available) representation but also contributes to the general perception that volunteer input is not valued,'' he said.
"We also suggested that as a Bushfire Mitigation Summit that might be considering the recommendations of the Ferguson report (which are largely specific to our service), it is difficult to support the prescribed body for the BFS having less than 2 per cent representation.''
In his June 3 statement Mr Logan said at the summit key stakeholders would have the opportunity to sit down together to discuss achievable outcomes for mitigating bushfires.
"Local MPs from across the political spectrum have been invited in what is intended to be a multi-partisan approach,'' he said.
"Public submissions are welcome two weeks prior to the summit and will be open for a further two weeks after the summit.''

Camment pushes forward
Finnish "in-screen" technology company has completed a 650 000-euro round of financing, collecting funding from Finnish investors.
Camment's technology allows clients to provide a social layer on top of their streams, clips or linear broadcasts where audiences can video chat, order food or face-swap with actors in TV shows. This way, the company provides a way to retain and engage audiences in-screen.
"We are amidst a massive transformation of the viewing experience with both VR and AR incoming," says CEO and co-founder Tomi Kaukinen, in a release. "Camment, short for comment with camera, simply offers an elegant and easy, monetisable social solution to all video-based medias, whether it's live sports, VOD or clips."
The funding round was led by Jari Ovaskainen, who will also join Camment's board of directors, with contributions from existing investors. The money brings the company's total funding to two million euros.
The plan for Camment now is to grow its sales team and boost product development.
Camment's headquarters are in Helsinki with local offices in Singapore, New York and Barcelona.

I like to consider myself the Carrie Bradshaw of the wine world. Not because I am a particularly talented writer, but because I love LA as much as she loves NY AND my expenditures on wine equal hers on Manolo Blahniks. In the 2006 calendar year I spent $13,846.37 on wine. Retail. For some big collectors that's nothing, I know. But for me, with my modest income, that's more than I pay annually in rent. And that's why I'm like Carrie Bradshaw, she couldn't afford her apartment either.

Lamborghinis are always going to turn heads so when I saw 4 ERN parked near Richmond Bridge I naturally reached for my ever present camera.
I did not know anything about the driver at the time, though the personalised numberplate could have been taken as a clue.
Anyway, much merriment was had a few minutes later in the long queues for Richmond's various late night bars when the lambo drove past without its lights on.
A minor misdemeanour to be sure but that sort of embarrassment that is never forgotten by those who witnessed it. The coolness of the car was swept away in the stupidity of the moment.

Online search
News about present search on line will not be considerably as of this point in time. Search engines like google will will need to polish their algorithm for searches made on-line. You will find nonetheless junk web-sites that come out on 50 best web sites final results. Junk sites are websites that have videos, images and keywords but usually do not truly have associated content when it comes to discussion in the searched keyword or crucial phrase. It is actually disgusting to see a well created web site which has virtually no related report content. Learn about San Diego SEO on www.yelp.com.
A accountable search engine optimization (Search engine marketing) like Seo San Diego will be certain those videos, keywords and images are adequately in place. They understand that content material is a have to to become relevant to what was searched.
Connected internet sites
SEOs generally would possess a list of well-searched web-sites that could be related to a specific genre, subject or keywords. A web-site getting optimized by them could effortlessly be linked to those websites as they may well also have worked on Search engine optimisation for all those web sites. Obtaining hyperlinks to 'related' web sites strengthens the accuracy of a websites' details on what is becoming searched for.
Other websites linked to your web-site might be 1 on the leading websites searched on the net. That could mean that searches for that or these sites could also cause your internet site. That's 1 thing that SEOs is usually proud of.
Verify for updates
As soon as a good organization connection has been established with an Search engine optimization, it is going to be superior to become in touch with them for updates on search engines. It can never ever be told when a search engine so decides to alter their search parameters again. Search engines really should satisfy their consumers and most are advertisers. A couple of tweaks on your web page should not price a great deal and can be arranged with an Search engine optimisation.

Writerly Style
Posted by Tobi-Dawne
Every writer has a style all their own, a way of communicating that not only shares a story or a thought, but also that persons way of being. My favourite writers have always been those who relay their tales as if telling, or retelling an oral folk story. Who's words come off the paper as if spoken, from a dear friend. I suppose that is why I have such an easy way with words… I write in the same voice as I speak.
Some writers are amazing world builders, artists like Tolkien, who's worlds and characters take on an entire life of their own. However these writers are not always easy to read. Tolkien's works don't flow easily from the tongue, and they can be difficult for a novice reader to slog through (though even as a child that never stopped me). Other writers craft amazing dialogue, to the point where you can hear the characters voices in your head as you read. So many of Ms. Rice's characters pop into mind – voices you'll never forget, each completely distinct from one another. Then there are those who are able to do both, and who do so with such brilliant smithery as to beguile your very senses… and these are the writers for whom you cry for a reconnection with, when their stories come to an end. These are the writers like DiTerlizzi – seriously, if you haven't read his WondLa books yet what are you doing sitting at your computer or on your iWhatzit reading this? Get on it!
Myself? Well… I'm not a fiction writer. I'd never delude myself into thinking I could craft a novel. A short story? A bit of flash fiction? Sure thing. But I could never hold your attention long enough to bring you so deep into a world with such rich characters that you'd mourn for them when finished. And I'm okay with that.
I write in my voice, and I write for every day people. I may not particularly like people, but I love them… I think people are full of potential. And if my voice, my stories, my experiences, my knowledge, can inspire people? Then I was "write" to put fingers to keys. I know I will not change the world, but perhaps I can enkindle you.

Wow, to be able to build a world like Tolkien would be amazing. Well done.
I agree… and I certainly don't claim to have that skill myself. But it's nice to know there are still artists out there who can do just that. 🙂
We can't all be Tolkien or James Patersson – writing is the main thing .. and that we play with words – like this post.

I visited my therapist the other day, as I always do, twice a month - as we always joke - whether I need it or not.
This had been a particularly intense visit. Lots of truths told. Things I had been afraid to say out loud to another person. There's something happening in my soul. Something moving and shifting 'round. A 'disturbance in The Force', as it were.
But, it's not just me. It's happening to lots of folk I know.
When my appointment was done, I came out the side walkway to the parking lot to fetch my car. It was a drizzly, overcast day, and I was entertaining myself with the sound of my shoes 'crunch-crunching' on the gravel driveway, musing about how it sounded like boots on snow and thanking God for the cold Spring rain instead of snow.
That's when I heard it. A ruffle of feathers and clacking of branches overhead. I looked up and there s/he was - a magnificent hawk.
I heard myself gasp as s/he stopped on a branch just above my car and peered at me intently. We were both sort of frozen in place - both startled at the sight of each other. Both intensely curious about the other.
Once my composure returned, I remembered that I had my camera in my purse. I carefully rummaged around for it, taking it out to get the snap above.
When I got home later that day, I looked up the Native American folklore about the hawk. This is what it said, in part:
"Hawk is akin to Mercury, the messenger of the gods. Hawk teaches you to be observant, to look at your surroundings. Observe the obvious in everything that you do. Life is sending you signals."
"If a hawk appears to you, then right now a clue about the magic of life is being brought to you. This magic can imbue you with the power to overcome a currently stressful or difficult situation. This test is your ability to observe the nuances of power lurking nearby."
"You are only as powerful as your ability to perceive, receive and use your abilities. . .What is called for here is an intuitive ability to discern the message carried within the cry of the Hawk. The shrillness of Hawk's call pierces the state of unawareness, and asks you to seek the truth."
Or, it could simply be coincidence. The Hawk was simply flying from one area to another, looking for lunch. I just happened to be coming out of my therapist's office at that time. The Native American Folklore is not science. It's simply folklore.
Except, I don't believe in coincidence.
I don't think it's a coincidence that there is a media frenzy over Michele Obama's arms and, at the same time, an increase in mico-sexism that I and many of my sisters are feeling. I experienced it just this week on two separate occasions of blatant sexism from people in my church - people who should know better.
Just this week, one of my dear friends and colleagues came into my office, closed the door, slumped in my chair, raised her hands over her head in a distress signal and said, "Help! I'm drowning in patriarchy."
I don't think that this is not connected to the fact that there is a Black man in the White House and suddenly, there is a Black Man on TV, assuring us that in times of trouble or disaster, "You're in good hands with Allstate."
Or, that in a commercial for FIOS there is a Black man who comes to the door of his modern home to get the best deal from two White white men who are Cable Guys.
That those 'good hands' are Black hands would be nothing short of astonishing to my parent's generation. Neither is it insignificant that one White Cable Guy is clearly scamming and one is not and the Black man is able to tell the difference between them and get the best deal.
And, none of this is at all pleasing so some folk who silently steam about the shifting racial and gender paradigms of power and authority. People who subconsciously or unconsciously allow words or acts of sexism to invade reality.
I'm thinking there's a connection between all this shifting paradigm of male power and the increase in sexism I'm noticing. Over and over and over again, women are reporting being passed over for appointments to positions or promotions, or even praise.
There is something in the air. "WILD air, world-mothering air /Nestling me everywhere," as Gerard Manley Hopkins once wrote of The Blessed Virgin.
It falls to the wise - the Hawk - to pay attention. To beware so that we might be aware.
These days require a keen eye and a bold heart.
Hopkins ends his poem about Mary with these words:
Be thou then, O thou dear
Mother, my atmosphere;
My happier world, wherein
To wend and meet no sin;
Above me, round me lie
Fronting my froward eye
With sweet and scarless sky;
Stir in my ears, speak there
Of God's love, O live air,
Of patience, penance, prayer:
World-mothering air, air wild,
Wound with thee, in thee isled,
Fold home, fast fold thy child.
My mantra for the rest of Lent and Holy Week, which fast approaches, is this:
"You are only as powerful as your ability to perceive, receive and use your abilities."
"And Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart."
UPDATE: I just got notice that the Committee on Church Structure has submitted a resolution to eliminate the Committee on the Status of Women, saying that it is a committee with "a particular purpose for a particular time" and that the "policy issues relating to women in the world will fit more clearly" within other commissions.
You can read the latest report from the CSW here.
Kim Robey, Program Officer for Women's Ministries and Leadership at the National Church Center ("815") writes:
"At a time in the world under our new administration when we are finally waking up to the disparity between women and men, in all areas of social justice and pure numbers on decision making bodies as shown by the President creating several new bodies solely devoted to women's issues, this is NOT the time to be eliminating this important committee. Also, at a time within the church where we see women Bishops retiring and not being replaced, this is NOT the time to be eliminating this committee. When the rest of the provinces within the Anglican Communion are desperately trying to establish women's desks and women's work in their church structures, this is NOT the time to be eliminating ours."
Wild air is everywhere.

McCloud River Mercantile
By Brandi Barnett
Historic GemApril 2007
By Melissa Gulden
Nestled in the sleepy logging community of beautiful McCloud, stands the stately, yet unassuming,mcCloud River Mercantile.
Under national register for its history, the old mill town general store, established in 1897, was a project Darlene Mathis and her husband, Kevin, couldn't wait to get their hands on.With a background in restoration, having worked on libraries and theaters in the Sacramento area, Mathis and her family moved to McCloud six years ago to take on the enormous project.
"This store was California's first mall," says Darlene, a virtual walking encyclopedia of McCloud history. "it was the first of its kind, as far as having different departments under one roof." Mathis has worked diligently to keep the integrity of the store, which means a lot of searching for bits of americana. With many of the original cabinets and floors, the store is a smorgasbord of goods, everything from soaps, to Levis to children's toys.many memories go with the merchandise and the "old-timers" are a-plenty.With an old fashioned candy shoppe, soda fountain and bookseller all under the same roof, it's no wonder tourists flock to the historic building. "We've reused as many of the old materials as possible," said Mathis. "to us, maintaining the integrity of the store was important."
They've brought in some modern touches as well. Soon, there will be a hotel perched atop the mercantile—The Mercantile Inn, scheduled to open memorial Day weekend. "We already have reservations and we aren't even open yet," said Mathis. Boasting 10 rooms, all done in various themes incorporating the history and who's who of the area, from the 1880s to the 1940s, the inn is a testament to the family's passion and commitment to preserving the town's lineage.The inn pays homage to the town's Swiss foundation and Italian workers of the past. each tile is gingerly hand-laid, each claw foot bathtub specifically placed so the guests will have the best views of the mountain and surrounding wilderness.
"It's too easy to get away from your original vision," said Mathis. "We don't want to sell out.We know what's important to people; we've learned what people like."
it is obvious in the love that has gone in to maintaining the mercantile, as well as expanding it to incorporate a new vision. The Mathis family has gone to great care to not only preserve history in the town of McCloud, but to make new memories as well.

We've pondered in the past, both in this space and in BizVoice magazine, about what economic indicators people pay the most attention to. The same argument can apply to the innovation economy — which numbers and statistics are most important?
Tough call. One measure taking a rather significant drop through the middle portion of this decade is the number of patents produced per employee in each state. Two alphabetical groups provide the data: USPTO (U.S. Patent and Trademark Office) compiles the numbers and SSTI (State Science & Technology Institute) puts them in comparative form.
The results:
- A total patent drop of over 10% between 2003 and 2007, with 43 states experiencing declines
- Indiana's performance over that period was even lower, a 19.9% decline, ranking it 35th over the five years. Overall, Indiana remained 25th in 2007, its same relative ranking as 2003
- At the low end of patents per employees are Alaska, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Arkansas and Louisiana
- Idaho led the nation with 210 patents per 100,000 employees. Other in the top five (with a strong Western flavor) were Vermont, California, Washington and Oregon
An SSTI chart details the numbers.

Day Traders Diary
Thursday was a quiet day on Wall Street as investors engaged in some end-of-quarter profit taking. The Dow slipped 0.2%, failing to close at a new record high for the first time in seven sessions, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq dropped 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively. Investor participation was below average due to the start of the Rosh Hashanah holiday.
Nine of the eleven sectors settled Thursday's session in negative territory, but losses were modest for the most part. The consumer staples sector was the weakest group (-1.0%), extending its week-to-date loss to 2.1%. The telecom services sector also finished with a sizable decline (-0.8%), but the remaining laggards lost no more than 0.6%.
The top-weighted technology space held a loss of 1.0% shortly after the opening bell, but strengthened a bit as the day wore on; the tech group eventually settled lower by 0.6%. Apple (AAPL 153.39, -2.68) was among the weakest components within the sector (-1.7%), extending its week-to-date loss to 4.1%.
NVIDIA (NVDA 180.76, -5.08) also struggled, dropping 2.7%, following a CNBC report that Tesla (TSLA 366.48, -7.43), which uses NVIDIA hardware for its auto-pilot functionality, is working with AMD (AMD 13.41, -0.33) to develop a self-driving chip. AMD later denied the report.
On the flip side, the financials (+0.2%) and industrials (+0.3%) groups managed to escape Thursday's session with modest victories. General Electric (GE 24.75, +0.43) played a big part in the industrial sector's positive performance, climbing 1.8%. GE shares have added 4.3% since September 11, but still remain lower by 21.7% for the year.
As for the heavily-weighted financial space, today's win marked its ninth in the last ten sessions--a run that's boosted the sector 6.9% since September 7.
In the bond market, U.S. Treasuries moved higher at the start of Thursday's session, but gave back most of their gains by the close. The yield on the benchmark 10-yr Treasury note finished unchanged at 2.28%, while the 2-yr yield slipped one basis point to 2.28%.
Meanwhile, gold tumbled 1.2% to $1,294.70/ozt, the U.S. Dollar Index slipped 0.2% to 92.03, and WTI crude dropped 0.3% to $50.55/bbl.
On the political front, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at targeting individuals and companies involved in business with North Korea and said that China has ordered its banks to stop working with Pyongyang.
Reviewing Thursday's economic data, which included the weekly Initial Claims Report, the September Philadelphia Fed Index, and the July FHFA Housing Price Index:
The latest weekly initial jobless claims count totaled 259,000 while the Briefing.com consensus expected a reading of 310,000. Today's tally was below the revised prior week count of 282,000 (from 284,000). As for continuing claims, they rose to 1.980 million from the revised count of 1.936 million (from 1.944 million).
The key takeaway, then, is that employers appear to be reluctant to cut their payrolls in a tight labor market.
The Philadelphia Fed Survey for September rose to 23.8 from an unrevised 18.9 in August while economists polled by Briefing.com had expected a reading of 17.1.
The key takeaway from the report is that most firms expect increased production for the rest of the year.
The FHFA Housing Price Index for July rose 0.2%. The prior month's reading was left unrevised at +0.1%.
Investors will not receive any economic data on Friday.
Nasdaq Composite +19.3% YTD
Dow Jones Industrial Average +13.1% YTD
Russell 2000 +6.4% YTD

The Mother of All Translucent Powders
As you can see by the above photos, this is very much true and I can vouch for it as a fantastic powder for personal use, too. I tend to apply this by pressing it onto the skin with a cotton pad in a rolling motion. I will then dust off any excess using a fluffy powder brush. After doing this I feel as though it's difficult to even detect that I'm wearing a powder. This is due to the fact that the powder is so incredibly finely milled - in fact it is the world's finest silica powder. In terms of longevity is also passes with flying colours; when applied evenly across the skin, not only does it improve the lasting time of makeup, but it also doesn't cake throughout the day and dry out the skin. In fact, it does quite the opposite. I wore this almost daily through the worst part of the heatwave here this summer and it certainly helped to counteract the 'glow' that was inevitable in the intense heat. I honestly feel like if I were to switch to any other translucent powder at this point that it would be a stepdown.
It may cost £22.50 but this product is just too good not to repurchase, and I would probably be willing to pay more considering how long it lasts for personal use. If you're a makeup artist you should seriously consider adding this to your kit.

Snacking innovation: Almonds thrive amid calls for healthier options
13 Feb 2019 --- Consumer demand for better‐for‐you snack products is driving the growing global interest in almonds and almond ingredients, as product formulators strive to attract the increasingly health-conscious public. Consumers are pivoting towards simple, unprocessed, clean label foods and many are looking for healthier snacking options.
According to a report from Innova Market Insights, almonds were the leading nut used in global snack product introductions in 2017. Almonds are an incredibly versatile ingredient delivering balanced nutrition, including satiety‐boosting nutrients like protein and fiber, as well as satisfying texture and flavor. Nutrition and satiety continue to be essential factors for consumers looking for snacking options that are good for them. As a result, almonds continue to be a value-adding ingredient in this category.
"With the diversification of snack occasions, we've seen nut‐based snacks evolve from traditional nut and trail mixes to more convenient, portable offerings like the snack or cereal bar, which appeal to consumers looking for a nutritious snack on the go," Jeff Smith, Director of Marketing Blue Diamond Almonds Global Ingredients Division tells FoodIngredientsFirst.
Additionally, a shift towards plant‐based diets has created new opportunities for traditional plant protein sources such as almonds. Globally, products making a plant-based claim have increased 62 percent from 2013 to 2017, according to data from Innova Market Insights. With 6g of protein in every ounce, almonds and almond ingredients are increasingly crucial for consumers making the switch to a plant-based diet.
Ounce‐for‐ounce, almonds are the tree nut highest in six essential nutrients, including protein, fiber, calcium, vitamin E, riboflavin and niacin, and boast a healthy fat profile, with low saturated fat, no cholesterol and plenty of omega 9 fatty acids. "These attributes make almonds a standout choice for formulators looking for a healthy inclusion to elevate their snack products," Smith notes.
"In the world of savory snacks, we've noticed an ever-increasing trend for healthy, wholesome and responsible options. Consumers are looking for snacks that are 'good for me and good for the planet' – they want the peace of mind knowing that they are snacking responsibly, without sacrificing taste or losing the enjoyment of snacking," Dariela Roffe-Rackind, Almond Board of California, EU Director of Marketing and Global PR, tells FoodIngredientsFirst.
"We're also seeing more snack manufacturers incorporating almonds as an ingredient because of the multiple positive attributes they deliver on, such as versatility, sensory experience (a satisfying crunch), nutrient profile (or what we call 'health halo'), being wholesome and responsibly grown," she adds.
Blue Diamond notes a greater focus on almonds that can carry a flavor, with an emphasis on sweet, spicy and savory flavor combinations. "We work closely with food manufacturers to help them create products that appeal to consumers' evolving tastes, including many sweet and savory flavors," says Smith.
Snack food manufacturers are also experimenting with contrasting textures in their snack products. For example, the "crunch" factor of an almond inclusion can provide some variety in a chewy nutrition or cereal bar. In snack or nut mixes, almonds compliment softer textures from dried fruits or other nuts.
"There are all the different forms such as almond flour, milk and butter, which are also becoming increasingly popular in new snack innovation, often paired with indulgent or unexpected pairings, such as tangy dried fruits, coconut shavings and chocolate. Interestingly, we also see the words 'almond crunch' used as a 'flavor' on new products in its own right," Roffe-Rackind notes
According to Smith, almonds have a naturally subtle flavor that allows them to blend well with other ingredients. "In savory snack applications, almonds' buttery, nutty taste adds a new flavor dimension without becoming overpowering, and can help offset salty notes," he continues. "Almonds also can carry a wide range of seasonings and coatings, which makes them customizable to any flavor pairing or recipe."
With flavors like Argentinian Chimichurri, Thai Sweet Chilli, and Seaweed "ocean fusion" snacks, almonds are becoming the perfect vehicle to deliver new tastes to adventurous consumers keen to try out experiences. According to Innova Market Insights, the use of "ethnic" flavors in new snack and confectionery launches since 2014 have increased by 8 percent, while snacks with a "discovery" claim (e.g., explore, uncover, discover) have increased by 17 percent.
"It's also interesting to note the use of 'California' itself on new products – for some consumers, highlighting the origins of almonds offers an easily accessible 'culinary experience' on the West Coast," she adds.
What's next?
Application innovation using almonds is thriving in a number of ways, says Roffe-Rackind. Almond butters and milks are becoming increasingly popular across confectionary and other products, with almond butter becoming a top filling for dark and white chocolate products.
Food manufacturers are also exploring the use of almond milks in cheese and yogurt products, while almond pastes are adding depth to plant-based spreads and dips, such as hummus. Almonds are also being increasingly incorporated into alternative meats – adding texture and weight to plant-based burgers. "Almond flour, almond oil and defatted flour is another area which is being produced by non-traditional suppliers in targeting non-foods and even cosmetics," she notes.
Blue Diamond has recently launched its Almond Protein Powder, which according to Smith, "fulfills against many prominent ingredient trends as a clean‐tasting, plant‐based protein product."
The ingredient is ideal for a variety of snack products, including nutrition, snack and cereal bars as well as protein shakes and smoothies, he notes. "With an almond-based protein source, food manufacturers have more versatility in formulating plant‐based, protein‐rich food and beverage products that deliver not only satisfying taste and texture, but also provide well-rounded nutrition," Smith concludes.

Chinese Architect Wang Shu Wins The Pritzker Prize
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Audie Cornish.
This year's Pritzker Prize has been announced. It's often called the Nobel of architecture. This year, the prize goes, for the first time, to an architect based in China. He is 49-year-old Wang Shu. Edward Lifson tells us more about him.
EDWARD LIFSON, BYLINE: Wang Shu started to draw when he was just 2 years old. He says he drew on everything - books and the walls of his house in a crowded Beijing alley. Then his family moved away. When he came back a few years later, the neighbors told him: Your drawings are still on the walls. We preserved them.
WANG SHU: Every time when I remember this, my heart feel warm feeling. It really means neighborhood. It means that the common people, they understand art and culture.
LIFSON: Wang Shu says that experience taught him to place a lot of faith in common people, and it made him want to learn more of their wisdom and to give back. So he went to architecture school in Nanjing. It was the 1990s, and China was booming - millions of people moving to cities, and the government was building on a scale and pace never before seen in human history. But Wang Shu was not a part of it.
SHU: So some people say, oh, where is Wang Shu? This guy disappeared.
LIFSON: For nearly 10 years, he worked with traditional craftsmen to see how they put buildings together, and he studied anthropology, philosophy, art history and movies. And then in 1997, with his wife, he founded Amateur Architecture Studio. He says amateur means he works outside the accepted system.
SHU: This system is too strong, almost no possibility to do a good architecture - no possibility.
LIFSON: When he accepted the commission for the Ningbo History Museum, he realized his job was to show people what their city used to look like. It's his masterpiece, says Clifford Pearson, the deputy editor of Architectural Record magazine.
CLIFFORD PEARSON: It's this monumental museum, almost fortress like. And on its exterior, it has almost a collage of masonry work that's really different from anything I've ever seen. It recalls fortresses but done in a very modern way.
LIFSON: Wang Shu designed an art academy using more than two million tiles salvaged from demolished traditional houses. That's in the city of Hangzhou, where Wang Shu lives with his wife, the only partner in his small firm. He hopes winning the Pritzker will influence younger Chinese architects to work within local contexts and slowly, and that it will help China understand it must not demolish history in order to develop. And yet, his childhood home in Beijing, the one with the drawings that the neighbors preserved...
SHU: Our family house, this year, will be demolished. Just now, my uncle is still - insists it's there.
SHU: But I think it will be demolished. For the private people, you don't have the power to stop it.
JASON BEAUBIEN, BYLINE: Wang Shu hopes the house is standing when he receives his Pritzker Prize in May in Beijing. For NPR News, I'm Edward Lifson.

Simple but one of the best Videos - "Wynjones Kinye - Asubuhi Itafika"
The fist time i saw this video i loved it in just 20 seconds, Leave aside the Lylics and vocals the video itself is a master piece.
This video taught me a lesson that many of the Tanzanian artists ain't aware off.. you don't have to pay $50,000 - $100,000 to get the best video or to travel to south Africa or even Nigeria and Kenya to get your video directed by the best video directors..
Wynjones Kinye - "Asubuhi Itafika" is an example of that.
"Asubuhi Itafika" is an Inspirational song with a lovely message that touches your inner part when listerning to the song.. its a story of a person named "Mtuta" who started from scratch with a hard life but he didn't quit and at the end he is now very successful.. all that is because he didn't loose hope.. as Kinye says "Usife moyo asubuhi itafika.." I know there are so many Mtuta out there and the bad part is they give up so easily.. Don't lose hope "Asaubuhi itafika"
Back to the main point.. the video is simple but nice and clear. I bet you that this video didn't even cost 300,000/= Tanzania shillings [Kinye will clarify this if am wrong] but its one of the best videos.
You can watch the video here....

Summer of Soccer 2019
With three major international tournaments going on right now, soccer fans and...
Normal 0NEW YORK (BASN) — When Michael Grant received the opportunity to fight Tomasz Ademek, the 6-foot-7, 250-plus pounder from Pennsylvania was presented with the chance to bump the Polish favorite from possibly challenging either Wladimir or Vitali Klitschko for a world heavyweight championship.
All he had to do was to let his right hand go. Adamek was so wide open to get hit flush with Grant's right hand, it was ridiculous. Grant, who weighed in at 261 pounds, had a 44-pound edge over the 6-foot-1, 217-pound favorite.
Grant badly hurt Adamek in the twelfth round and was moments away from finishing him, but allowed the opportunity to slip away. "I knew he was gone," Grant said.
"He was running. I knew he was hurt. I tried to get him out of there. It was like a cat and mouse game. He kept moving and moving."
Instead of simply letting his hands go and attack with the right hand, Grant (46-4,34KOs) was cautious behind his left jab and dropped a unanimous decision to Adamek (42-1, 27 KOs) in front of 10,972 people at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. on Saturday.
The judges scored the bout 118-110, 118-111, and 117-111.
At age 38, Grant's return to the big stage in such a competitive showing perhaps spelled a sudden resurrection in his career."I never left," Grant said.
More than 10 years ago, Grant was considered to be the next American heir apparent to the world heavyweight championship. He had the athletic build, the shape, the physique, a unique structure and image of what a strong heavyweight champion should look like.
Grant was quite appealing, but when the going got rough he simply didn't have the mental make-up of what it took to become a great fighter. Grant was chastised immensely for his losses to Lennox Lewis, Jameel McCline, and Dominick Guinn.
However, 10 years has passed from his loss to Lewis in what was the biggest stage of his career fighting for the world heavyweight championship at Madison Square Garden and five years removed from his previous loss, a shocking drumming at the hands of a young upstart Guinn.
Grant, after winning eight consecutive bouts, somehow found himself on the grand stage once again. Grant stood all alone amongst the thousands in attendance that wore the colors of Polish flag.
Instead of looking like a huge piece of pig-steak getting ready to be served as a main entre, Grant embraced the opportunity to return to the big stage in a pay-per-view main event against a rising heavyweight contender.
The African-American knew that a big performance against a possible future title challenger that can draw legions of fans to the Prudential Center would resurrect his career in a sport that has been depleted of top American heavyweights.
Grant probably didn't have Adamek's speed, but he did have a big man's punch. Grant's left jab drove Adamek backwards. The left jab made Adamek think twice about attacking Grant without caution.
The difference between the two was that Adamek is a former world champion, but as a light-heavyweight. Adamek's hand skills and movement around the ring was more fluent and simply better than Grant's. He showed some good combination-punching patterns and managed to outwork Grant.
"Adamek brought to be his movement," Grant said. "He moved well on his feet — in and out." But in the heavyweight division, one punch can change the tide of a fight.
"The first round was fluky," Grant added. "I caught him with a right hand and all of a sudden the bell wrung. I was like 'what happened.'"
Grant seriously stunned Adamek on several occasions in the fight, but in the twelfth and final round, the American had Adamek staggering around the ring.
"I cut the ring off well," Grant said. "I hurt him with a big right hand and hurt him.
The crowd was silent momentarily, as Adamek struggled to keep his balance. Adamek was open for the right uppercut, a punch he hurt Adamek with earlier in the fight. Instead of pressing for the biggest KO of his career, Grant simply let Adamek off the hook. Grant allowed Adaemk to escape and move on to bigger fights.
"You haven't seen the last of me," Grant concluded.
The Undercard: 2008 U.S. Olympian Sadam Ali (9-0, 5 KOs) knocked out Lenin Arroyo (20-13-1, 4 KOs) at 2:46 seconds of the fifth round of a scheduled 8-round welterweight bout.
Five-time New York Golden Gloves Champion and junior lightweight prospect Shemuel Pagan (1-0) was successful in his professional debut against Raul Rivera (0-3), via unanimous decision.
Jr. middleweight Joel Julio (36-4, 31 KOs) won a unanimous 10-round decision against Jamaal Davis (12-7, 6 KOs). Junior welterweight Jeremy Bryan (14-1, 7 KOs) stopped Daniel Mitchell (5-2-1, 2 KOs) in the first round.
Star Boxing returns to Capitale
On Thursday September 16th, Star Boxing and The Empire Sports and Entertainment will present an exciting and entertaining night of professional boxing at the New York City's famous and luxurious Capitale located in downtown Manhattan.
Headlining the card will be the newest addition to Star Boxing's growing stable, Huntington's undefeated, Chris Algieri (10-0, 5KO's), as he takes on upset-minded Martin Tucker (7-6, 3KO's) in an eight round jr. welterweight contest.
"We are excited to be bringing a night of thrilling boxing entertainment to the Capitale with The Empire," stated Joe DeGuardia, CEO and President of Star Boxing. "It is always great to do shows in NYC and The Capitale is a premier banquet hall that provides for classic boxing."
"We expect a sellout, so get your tickets early!"
