I have a pro-106 that I monitor a P25 Phase 1 simulcast system. It picks up the system, quite well and without distortion, because I live less than 1 mile from one of the towers. I recently purchased a pro-106 off ebay. I cloned it from my existing 106. It will pick up the P25 simulcast Phase 1 system, that I monitor but only sporadically, and the sound is very distorted. It picks up the other channels and systems, that I monitor, just fine. My question is: Are there any changes that can be made to the global menu, or other areas, so the P25 simulcast system reception improves or is it just the nature of the beast? System in question is: Madison Area Public Safety (P25) located in Madison, WI. Any help appreciated. Thank You.

The Jubilee Year of Mercy
CWL Provincial Convention
18 June 2016
At the outset, before offering some reflections on the Jubilee Year of Mercy we are celebrating, I would like to express my enormous gratitude to all of you for being joyful Catholic women of faith, unafraid to confront the often difficult situations in the Church and society – and for all that you have done and are doing in the local Churches of British Columbia, in your parishes and communities, as well as in the wider Church in Canada.
I also especially commend your unwavering efforts to foster a culture of life from conception to its natural end. Today this is clearly evident in your firm commitment to offset the social and spiritual ravages of euthanasia and assisted suicide which will, tragically, soon be legislated in our beautiful country. Your practical and prayerful initiatives to improve the access and availability of palliative care are symptomatic of the wise approach you take to engaging in the public square as Catholic women. In this you are a model for all of us.
At times you challenge us – and rightfully so, even if it makes us a little uncomfortable – as we all struggle to foster greater lay participation in the life of the Church. But you do so with love, a love that we need to show to the world as Christians if together we are to bring the Gospel of Christ to those on the margins of our families and communities.
Now on to the Holy Year
- What Is a Holy Year or Jubilee?
Where does the idea of a holy year come from? Did Jesus start such a practice?
1.1 Old Testament
Celebrating a special year, what was called a jubilee, is an ancient Jewish custom (cf. Lev 25:8-13). The Prophet Isaiah, quoted by Jesus in the synagogue at Capernaum said this: "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good tidings to the afflicted; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and freedom to those in captivity; to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour" (Is 61:1-2).
For the Jewish people, this "year of the Lord's favour" was to be a year of rest and restoration when captives were set free, debts were paid, and the land was not sown or harvested. The Jubilee existed because the land was the possession of the Lord God, and its current occupiers were merely tenants. If someone has been compelled to sell his land or his house, he would regain it, and if someone had contracted debts and, being unable to pay them, was compelled to place himself in the service of the creditor, he could return debt free to his family and regain all of his property.[1]
Such a Jubilee occurred every 50 years – at the end of 7 cycles of 7 – the 50th year. This fiftieth year was sacred – it was to be a time of freedom and of celebration when everyone would receive back their original property, and slaves would return home to their families.
It was a type of "general pardon", by which everyone was allowed to return to their original situation, with the cancellation of all debts, the restitution of land, and the opportunity for freedom to be enjoyed once again by the members of the People of God: a "holy" people, where regulations such as that of the jubilee year served to combat poverty and inequality, guaranteeing a dignified life to all and an equitable distribution of land on which to live and from which to draw sustenance. The central idea is that the land originally belonged to God and has been entrusted to man (cf. Gen 1:28-29), and therefore no one may claim exclusive possession, thereby creating situations of inequality.[2]
1.2 Jesus
Jesus himself alluded to this custom in his discourse in the synagogue in Capernaum when he read from Isaiah (ch. 61) and said that the reading was fulfilled in him (cf. Lk 4:16-21). It contains the line that Jesus was "to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour" (Lk 4:19) – an allusion perhaps to what we would later call a "holy" year. That's why this text is so frequently invoked on such occasions.
1.3 Church History
But how did this Jewish custom come into the life of the Church?
In the year 1300, Pope Boniface VIII began the tradition of proclaiming a Jubilee year to encourage people to return – not property or slaves – but to a life of holiness. To show this externally, he granted an indulgence to those who made a pilgrimage to Rome to pray at the tombs of the Apostles. It was an extraordinary success, with hundreds of thousands of pilgrims.
He had intended that the Jubilee should be celebrated only once in a hundred years. But soon a later Pope was urged to celebrate a jubilee sooner, so that every generation would have an opportunity to celebrate a Jubilee. He set the time frame for every fifty years.
Following the Jewish tradition, the number 50 was specially associated, already in the early 13th century with the idea of remission (of sin).
But then in 1470 Pope Paul II decreed that the Jubilee should be celebrated every twenty-five years, and this has been the normal rule ever since. The three most recent were in 1950, 1975 and the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000.
A Jubilee or Holy Year is a year of forgiveness of sins and also the temporal punishment due to sin, what is commonly called the "time in purgatory." It is a year of reconciliation between adversaries, of conversion and receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
A Jubilee can be "ordinary" if it falls after the set period of years, and "extraordinary" when it is proclaimed to commemorate some outstanding event, a recent practice.
Pope Pius XII declared the Marian Year of 1954 a "Little Holy Year" to mark the centenary of the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Pope John Paul II proclaimed a Holy Year marking the 1950 years of the Redemption in 1983 and a Marian year in 1987.
The current Holy Year of Mercy is an "extraordinary" holy year.
- Ceremonial of the Jubilee: Holy Doors
The most distinctive feature in the ceremonial of the Jubilee is the un-walling and the final walling up of the "holy door" in each of the four major basilicas in Rome which the pilgrims are required to visit: St. Peter's, St. Paul Outside the Walls, St. John Lateran (the Cathedral), and St. Mary Major.
The doors are opened by the Pope or his delegate at the beginning of the Jubilee and then sealed up again afterwards. Previously, the rite included the use of a silver hammer (for removing the concrete at the opening) and a silver trowel (for sealing it again after the Jubilee). The Pope would pound on the wall, which would then be set to collapse. This ritual sometimes caused injury to bystanders, so for the Great Jubilee of 2000, Pope St. John Paul II simplified the rite considerably, opening and closing the door by pushing it with his hands.
- Holy Doors in Rome
Pope Francis opened the first holy doors this time in Africa, but then in Rome, at St. Peter's, on December 8. Why this date? For two reasons.
First, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is the great sign of God's pre-eminent redeeming love showed to Mary. "After the sin of Adam and Eve, God did not wish to leave humanity alone in the throes of evil. So he turned his gaze to Mary, holy and immaculate in love (cf. Eph 1:4), choosing her to be the Mother of man's Redeemer. When faced with the gravity of sin, God responds with the fullness of mercy. Mercy will always be greater than any sin, and no one can place limits on the love of God."[3]
Secondly, because, the Pope said, it linked, "separated by 50 years, the beginning of the Jubilee with the conclusion of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council."[4] "The Church feels a great need to keep this event alive. With the Council, the Church entered a new phase of her history. The Council Fathers strongly perceived, as a true breath of the Holy Spirit, a need to talk about God to men and women of their time in a more accessible way. The walls which too long had made the Church a kind of fortress were torn down and the time had come to proclaim the Gospel in a new way."[5]
2.1 Holy Door at the Cathedral and Abbey
We have two holy doors, and other Dioceses have theirs, in response to the Pope's request that the sign of the Holy Door be present in every particular Church, so that the Jubilee of Mercy could be experienced by everyone.[6] In Vancouver, we opened ours, as happened around the world, on December 13. "Every Particular Church, therefore, will be directly involved in living out this Holy Year as an extraordinary moment of grace and spiritual renewal. Thus the Jubilee will be celebrated both in Rome and in the Particular Churches as a visible sign of the Church's universal communion."[7]
2.2 Symbolic Meaning for Us
What the Pope said at the opening the Holy Door at St. Peter's expresses well the symbolism of the doors:
This Extraordinary Year is itself a gift of grace. To pass through the Holy Door means to rediscover the infinite mercy of the Father who welcomes everyone and goes out personally to encounter each of them. It is he who seeks us! It is he who comes to encounter us! This will be a year in which we grow ever more convinced of God's mercy. . . .In passing through the Holy Door, then, may we feel that we ourselves are part of this mystery of love, of tenderness.[8]
The door must protect, of course, but not reject. The door must not be forced but on the contrary, one asks permission, because hospitality shines in the freedom of welcoming, and dims in the arrogance of invasion. The door is frequently opened, in order to see if there is someone waiting outside, perhaps without the courage nor, perhaps, the strength to knock. How many people have lost faith, do not have the courage to knock at the door of our Christian heart, at the doors of our churches…. And they are there, they don't have the courage, we have taken away trust: please, may this never happen. A door says many things about the house, and also about the Church.[9]
Doors of Our Churches/Communities
And as the door of God's mercy is always open, so too must the doors of our churches, our communities, our parishes, our institutions, our dioceses, be open, because this is how we can all go out to bring this mercy of God. The Jubilee signifies the great door of the mercy of God but also the small doors of our churches, open to allow the entrance of the Lord – or often the exit of the Lord – who is a prisoner of our structures, of our selfishness and of so many things.[10]
"What is the name of the door of God? Jesus! He lights up all of life's doors for us, including those of our birth and of our death. He himself affirmed it: 'I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture' (Jn 10:9). Jesus is the door that lets us go in and out."[11]
When we pass through that Door it is good to remember that we must also keep the door of our heart wide open. I am before the Holy Door and I ask: "Lord, help me to thrust open the door of my heart!" The Holy Year will not be very effective if the door of our heart does not allow the passage of Christ who urges us to go toward others, in order to bring him and his love. Thus, as the Holy Door stays open, because it is the sign of the welcome that God himself holds for us, may our door, that of the heart, also be always wide open so as to exclude no one. Not even he or she who bothers me: no one.[12]
In his gentleness, the Lord never forces open the door of our heart; he too asks permission to enter that sanctuary. The Book of Revelation says: "Listen, I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come to you and eat with you, and you with me" (Rev 3:20). The Jubilee is a freely offered gift, and its graces likewise are to be freely received. During this Holy Year, the Church wants us to become ever more convinced that we are recipients, beneficiaries of God's mercy.
- Why a Holy Year of Mercy?
This is the first extraordinary jubilee which marks not a saving event but a theme – God's overflowing mercy: "From the heart of the Trinity, from the depths of the mystery of God, the great river of mercy wells up and overflows unceasingly. It is a spring that will never run dry, no matter how many people approach it. Every time someone is in need, he or she can approach it, because the mercy of God never ends."[13]
3.1 From the Pope's Own Experience
I [Antonio Spadaro] ask Pope Francis point-blank: "Who is Jorge Mario Bergoglio?" He stares at me in silence. I ask him if I may ask him this question. He nods and replies: "I do not know what might be the most fitting description…. I am a sinner. This is the most accurate definition. It is not a figure of speech, a literary genre. I am a sinner."
The Pope continues to reflect and concentrate, as if he did not expect this question, as if he were forced to reflect further. "Yes, perhaps I can say that I am a bit astute, that I can adapt to circumstances, but it is also true that I am a bit naïve. Yes, but the best summary, the one that comes more from the inside and I feel most true is this: I am a sinner whom the Lord has looked upon." And he repeats: "I am one who is looked upon by the Lord. I always felt my motto, Miserando atque Eligendo [By Having Mercy and by Choosing Him], was very true for me."[14]
Mercy, then, has been the Pope's leitmotiv since the beginning of his papacy. Already in his Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, "The Joy of the Gospel," which continues be the programmatic outline for his pontificate, he offers a meaningful expression of the very essence of the Extraordinary Jubilee: "Such a community [the Church] has an endless desire to show mercy, the fruit of its own experience of the power of the Father's infinite mercy."[15]
3.2 In Continuity with St. John Paul II
It was an intuition of St. John Paul II that this time in the Church was one of Divine Mercy, an intuition gleaned from the writings of St. Faustina Kowalska. He also introduced the Feast of Divine Mercy.[16]
3.3 Mercy Tells Us "Who" God Really Is
This Jubilee is a privileged moment for contemplating who God really is. His name is Mercy, as Pope Francis's book The Name of God Is Mercy tells us. "One cannot comprehend God without his mercy."[17]
"It is proper to God to exercise mercy, and he manifests his omnipotence particularly in this way."[18] Saint Thomas Aquinas' words show that God's mercy, rather than a sign of weakness, is the mark of his omnipotence. For this reason the liturgy, in one of its most ancient collects, has us pray: "O God, who reveal your power above all in your mercy and forgiveness."
The Church is being called to meditate more on "what pleases God most." What is it that "pleases God most?" Pope Francis asks: "Forgiving his children, having mercy on them, so that they may in turn forgive their brothers and sisters, shining as a flame of God's mercy in the world. This is what pleases God most. . . . God's joy is forgiving, God's being is mercy."[19]
Old Testament
In Sacred Scripture, the Lord is presented as a "merciful God." This is his name, through which he unveils, so to speak, his face and his heart to us. As the Book of Exodus recounts, on revealing himself to Moses he defined himself in this way: "the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness" (34:6). We also find this formula in other texts, with certain variations, but the emphasis is always placed on mercy and on the love of God who never tires of forgiving (cf. Gen 4:2; Joel 2:13; Ps 86 [85]: 15, 103 [102]: 8, 145[144]:8; Neh 9:17).
The Lord is "merciful": this word evokes a tender approach like that of a mother toward her child. Indeed, the Hebrew term used in the Bible evokes the viscera or even the maternal womb. Therefore, the image it suggests is that of a God who is moved and who softens for us like a mother when she takes her child in her arms, wanting only to love, protect, help, ready to give everything, even herself. This is the image that this term evokes. A love, therefore, which can be defined in the best sense as "visceral."[20]
In short, the mercy of God is not an abstract idea, but a concrete reality through which he reveals his love as that of a father or a mother, moved to the very depths out of love for their child. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that this is a "visceral" love. It gushes forth from the depths naturally, full of tenderness and compassion, indulgence and mercy.[21]
Mercy Embodied in Jesus
His Actions
Jesus Christ is the face of the Father's mercy. These words might well sum up the mystery of the Christian faith. Mercy has become living and visible in Jesus of Nazareth, reaching its culmination in him. . . . Jesus of Nazareth, by his words, his actions, and his entire person reveals the mercy of God.[22][Mercy] is the fundamental feature of the face of Christ: that face that we recognize in the various aspects of his existence: when he goes to meet everyone, when he heals the sick, when he sits at the table with sinners, and above all when, nailed to the cross, he forgives; there we see the face of divine mercy.[23]
Throughout his life Jesus responded with mercy: he healed the sick, gave sight to the blind and fed the hungry. He grieved when his friend Lazarus died, accepted patiently the human weaknesses of his disciples and forgave those who crucified him.
Jesus, seeing the crowds of people who followed him, realized that they were tired and exhausted, lost and without a guide, and he felt deep compassion for them (cf. Mt 9:36). On the basis of this compassionate love he healed the sick who were presented to him (cf. Mt 14:14), and with just a few loaves of bread and fish he satisfied the enormous crowd (cf. Mt 15:37). What moved Jesus in all of these situations was nothing other than mercy, with which he read the hearts of those he encountered and responded to their deepest need.[24]
Encountering the multitudes, proclaiming the Gospel, healing the sick, being close to the least, forgiving sinners, Jesus made visible the love that is open to us all: none excluded! Open to all without borders. A love that is pure, freely‑given, absolute. A love that culminates in the Sacrifice of the Cross. Yes, the Gospel is truly the "Gospel of Mercy", for Jesus is Mercy![25]
As the Innocent One is about to die for us sinners, he pleads to the Father: "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" (Lk 23:34). It is on the Cross that Jesus presents the sin of the world to the mercy of the Father: the sin of all people, my sins, your sins, everyone's sins. There, on the Cross, he presents them to the Father. And with the sin of the world, all our sins are wiped away. Nothing and no one is left out of this sacrificial prayer of Jesus.[26]
His Teachings
Jesus not only embodied compassion and mercy in his ministry, above all in his sacrificial Death on the Cross, he taught us about the mercy of the Father, especially in his parables.
In the parables devoted to mercy, Jesus reveals the nature of God as that of a Father who never gives up until he has forgiven the wrong and overcome rejection with compassion and mercy. We know these parables well, three in particular: the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the father with two sons (cf. Lk 15:1-32). In these parables, God is always presented as full of joy, especially when he pardons. In them we find the core of the Gospel and of our faith, because mercy is presented as a force that overcomes everything, filling the heart with love and bringing consolation through pardon.[27]
3.4 That We May Experience Mercy in Ourselves
"To experience strongly within ourselves the joy of having been found by Jesus, the Good Shepherd who has come in search of us because we were lost"[28]: this is another main purpose of this Holy Year.
How much I desire that the year to come will be steeped in mercy, so that we can go out to every man and woman, bringing the goodness and tenderness of God! May the balm of mercy reach everyone, both believers and those far away, as a sign that the Kingdom of God is already present in our midst![29]
"It is necessary to recognize ourselves as sinners, so as to strengthen within us the certainty of divine mercy. 'Lord, I am a sinful man; Lord, I am a sinful woman: come with your mercy'."[30]
The Pope believes that the whole Church is in need of mercy for we are all sinners, and he wants us to be able to find in this Jubilee the joy of rediscovering God's mercy as a gift and as a commitment. And, at the same time, as beneficiaries of mercy, "we are all called to give comfort to every man and every woman of our time." He does not want us to "forget that God forgives all, and God forgives always."[31]
We have this Holy Year to experience strongly within ourselves the joy of having been found by Jesus, the Good Shepherd who has come in search of us because we were lost. A Jubilee to receive the warmth of his love when he bears us upon his shoulders and brings us back to the Father's house. A year in which to be touched by the Lord Jesus and to be transformed by his mercy, so that we may become witnesses to mercy.[32]
3.3 Church Is Called To Witness to Mercy
This Holy Year is also to be "a special time for the Church; a time when the witness of believers might grow stronger and more effective."[33]
In a homily at First Vespers for Divine Mercy Sunday, Francis answered the question, why a Jubilee of Mercy today? And, he answered this is in his typical straightforward way:
Simply because the Church, in this time of great historical change, is called to offer more evident signs of God's presence and closeness. This is not the time to be distracted; on the contrary, we need to be vigilant and to reawaken in ourselves the capacity to see what is essential. This is a time for the Church to rediscover the meaning of the mission entrusted to her by the Lord on the day of Easter: to be a sign and an instrument of the Father's mercy (cf. Jn 20:21-23). For this reason, the Holy Year must keep alive the desire to know how to welcome the numerous signs of the tenderness which God offers to the whole world and, above all, to those who suffer, who are alone and abandoned, without hope of being pardoned or feeling the Father's love. . . . Here, then, is the reason for the Jubilee: because this is the time for mercy. It is the favourable time to heal wounds, a time not to be weary of meeting all those who are waiting to see and to touch with their hands the signs of the closeness of God, a time to offer everyone, everyone, the way of forgiveness and reconciliation.[34]
The Church is in need of this extraordinary occasion. I am not saying: this extraordinary occasion is good for the Church. I am saying: the Church needs this extraordinary occasion. In this era of profound changes, the Church is called to offer her particular contribution, rendering visible the signs of the presence and closeness of God. The Jubilee is a favourable time for all of us, because by contemplating Divine Mercy, which overcomes all human limitations and shines in the darkness of sin, we are able to become more certain and effective witnesses.[35]
Mercy is the Mission of the Church
The proclamation of mercy, of God's merciful love offered to everyone, is the mission of the Church. As St John Paul II reminds us: "The Church lives an authentic life when she professes and proclaims mercy… and when she brings people close to the sources of the Savior's mercy."[36] It is the content of all evangelization, new and old.
"The theme of mercy needs to be proposed again and again with new enthusiasm and renewed pastoral action. It is absolutely essential for the Church and for the credibility of her message that she herself live and testify to mercy. Her language and her gestures must transmit mercy, so as to touch the hearts of all people and inspire them once more to find the road that leads to the Father."[37]
"A living and vivifying experience of God's mercy[, which] alone can guarantee that the Church is that city set on a hill that cannot be hid (cf. Mt 5:14). Only a merciful Church shines! Should we forget, for even just a moment, that mercy is 'what pleases God most, our every effort [at institutional and structural change] would be in vain."[38]
Mercy is the very foundation of the Church's life. All of her pastoral activity should be caught up in the tenderness she makes present to believers; nothing in her preaching and in her witness to the world can be lacking in mercy. The Church's very credibility is seen in how she shows merciful and compassionate love. The Church "has an endless desire to show mercy."[39]
The Church's mission is, therefore, to proclaim God's mercy, "the beating heart of the Gospel."[40] "Her life is authentic and credible only when she becomes a convincing herald of mercy. She knows that her primary task . . . is to introduce everyone to the great mystery of God's mercy by contemplating the face of Christ. The Church is called above all to be a credible witness to mercy, professing it and living it as the core of the revelation of Jesus Christ."[41]
The mercy that we receive from the Father is not given as a private consolation, but makes us instruments that others too might receive the same gift. There is a wonderful interplay between mercy and mission. Experiencing mercy renders us missionaries of mercy, and to be missionaries allows us to grow ever more in the mercy of God.[42]
In short, we are called to show mercy because mercy has first been shown to us. . . . Above all, let us listen to the words of Jesus who[43] made mercy as an ideal of life and a criterion for the credibility of our faith: "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy" (Mt 5:7): the beatitude to which we should particularly aspire in this Holy Year.
How Are We to Respond to the Call to Mercy? "Doing Jubilee"
How, then, as the Church and as individual disciples, are we to respond to this mission of mercy? "The mercy that we receive from the Father is not given as a private consolation, but makes us instruments that others too might receive the same gift. There is a wonderful interplay between mercy and mission. Experiencing mercy renders us missionaries of mercy, and to be missionaries allows us to grow ever more in the mercy of God."[44]
As Church
The Church – our local Church, our parishes, our schools, our organizations and movements – are being called to open their doors, to go out to meet God's children on the path of their lives, at times uncertain, at times downtrodden, and to invite them to know the closeness of God, and to offer them the way of forgiveness and reconciliation.[45] Just as the door of God's mercy is always open, so too must be the Church's doors, both literally and figuratively. Only if we open the doors can we go out to bring God's mercy to others and can others come in to share in our experience of his forgiving love.[46]
As communities, we cannot bottle up the gift of mercy we have received. We must open ours doors to see who is waiting outside, perhaps without the courage or the strength to knock, because they fear our harsh judgment or rejection. But the true Church "has an endless desire to show mercy, the fruit of her own experience of the power of the Father's infinite mercy."[47]
After all, we are as Church but servants at the door of God's mercy.
As Individual Disciples
Like the crowd in the Gospel who posed questions to John the Baptist, as individual disciples we, too, ask, "What should we do?" (Lk 3:12), what should we do to mark the Jubilee Year? The response of the Baptist was immediate. He invited the crowd to act justly and to look after the needs of those in need (cf. Lk 3:13-14). We, however, are asked to make a more radical commitment. More than ever, we are being reminded to be instruments of mercy, knowing that we will be judged on this. The joy of crossing through the Door of Mercy must be accompanied by our commitment to give practical and concrete witness to acts merciful love.[48] "Mercy and forgiveness must not remain as pleasant words, but must be made manifest in daily life."[49]
Not judging and condemning
The Lord asks us above all not to judge and not to condemn. If anyone wishes to avoid God's judgment, he should not make himself the judge of his brother or sister. Human beings, whenever they judge, look no farther than the surface, whereas the Father looks into the very depths of the soul. How much harm words do when they are motivated by feelings of jealousy and envy! To speak ill of others puts them in a bad light, undermines their reputation and leaves them prey to the whims of gossip. To refrain from judgment and condemnation means, in a positive sense, to know how to accept the good in every person and to spare him any suffering that might be caused by our partial judgment and our presumption to know everything about him. But this is still not sufficient to express mercy. Jesus asks us also to forgive.[50]
Forgiving others
Pardoning offences becomes the clearest expression of merciful love, and for us Christians it is an imperative from which we cannot excuse ourselves. At times how hard it seems to forgive! And yet pardon is the instrument placed into our fragile hands to attain serenity of heart. To let go of anger, wrath, violence, and revenge are necessary conditions to living joyfully. Let us therefore heed the Apostle's exhortation: "Do not let the sun go down on your anger" (Eph 4:26).[51]
How often have I heard: "Father, I can't forgive my neighbour, a coworker, the lady next door, my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law". We have all heard this: "I can't forgive". But how can we ask God to forgive us, if we are unable to forgive? Forgiving is something great, yet forgiving is not easy, because our heart is poor and with its efforts alone we cannot do it. However, if we open ourselves up to welcome God's mercy for ourselves, in turn we become capable of forgiveness. So often I have heard: "I couldn't see that person: I hated her. But one day, I drew close to the Lord and I asked him to forgive my sins, and I forgave that person too". These are everyday matters. And this opportunity is close to us.[52]
Works of Mercy**
"In this Year of Mercy we too can do this work of acting as mediators of mercy through the works of mercy."[53]
As well as emphasizing God's offer of merciful love to every person, and the Church's mission to bring that mercy to them, the Holy Year is also the time for us to rededicate ourselves to living out in our daily lives the mercy which the Father constantly extends to all of us.[54]
"Merciful like the Father" is the "motto" of this Holy Year, and it sets the agenda of each of us personally: to become more merciful. It is, therefore, a time for us to practice more intentionally the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. Our own experience of mercy becomes visible in the witness of concrete signs as Jesus himself taught us.
In this Holy Year, we are to open our hearts ever wider to those living on the outermost fringes of society. We are being called to heal their wounds with the oil of consolation, to bind them with mercy and cure them with solidarity. We are to open our eyes and see the misery of the world, the wounds of our brothers and sisters who are denied their dignity, and we are compelled to heed their cry for help.
We answer this cry by practising more intensely and deliberately the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. Jesus introduces us to these works of mercy in his preaching, so that we can know whether or not we are living as his disciples.
These works remind us that faith finds expression in concrete everyday actions meant to help our neighbours in body and spirit: by feeding, visiting, comforting and instructing them. On such things will we be judged. For this reason, I expressed my hope that "the Christian people may reflect on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy; this will be a way to reawaken our conscience, too often grown dull in the face of poverty, and to enter more deeply into the heart of the Gospel where the poor have a special experience of God's mercy" (MV, 15). For in the poor, the flesh of Christ "becomes visible in the flesh of the tortured, the crushed, the scourged, the malnourished, and the exiled¼ to be acknowledged, touched, and cared for by us" (ibid.). It is the unprecedented and scandalous mystery of the extension in time of the suffering of the Innocent Lamb.[55]
Corporal Works of Mercy
The corporal works of mercy to which we are called reflect what Jesus did. We, too, are to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, visit the sick and the imprisoned, and bury the dead.
In each of these "little ones," Christ himself is present. Let us not forget the words of Saint John of the Cross: "as we prepare to leave this life, we will be judged on the basis of love."[56]
Spiritual Works of Mercy
And let us not forget the spiritual works of mercy:
- instruct the ignorant
- counsel the doubtful
- admonish sinners
- comfort the afflicted
- forgive offences
- bear wrongs patiently
- pray for the living and the dead.[57]
Moreover, we will be asked if we have helped others to escape the doubt that causes them to fall into despair and which is often a source of loneliness; if we have helped to overcome the ignorance in which millions of people live, especially children deprived of the necessary means to free them from the bonds of poverty; if we have been close to the lonely and afflicted; if we have forgiven those who have offended us and have rejected all forms of anger and hate that lead to violence; if we have had the kind of patience God shows, who is so patient with us; and if we have commended our brothers and sisters to the Lord in prayer.[58]
Going to Confession
Another important sign of the Jubilee is confession. Approaching the Sacrament by which we reconcile ourselves with God is equal to directly experiencing his mercy. It is finding the Father who forgives: God forgives everything. God understands us even in our limitations, and he even understands us in our contradictions. Not only this, but He tells us with his love that precisely when we recognize our sins he is even closer and he spurs us to look forward. He says even more: that when we recognize our sins and we ask for forgiveness, there is a celebration in Heaven. Jesus celebrates: this is his mercy: let us not be discouraged.[59]
The Lord continually offers us his pardon and helps us to accept it and to be aware of our wrong-doing so as to free us of it. For God wants not our condemnation, but our salvation. God does not want to condemn anyone! One of you might ask me: "But Father, didn't Pilate deserve condemnation? Did God want that?" No! God wanted to save Pilate as well as Judas, everyone! He, the Lord of Mercy, wants to save everyone! The difficulty is in allowing him to enter our hearts. Every word of the prophets is a passionate appeal full of love which seeks our conversion. This is what the Lord says through the Prophet Ezekiel: "Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked… and not rather that he should turn from his way and live?" (18:23; cf. 33:11), that's what pleases God![60]
The Church feels the urgent need to proclaim God's mercy. Her life is authentic and credible only when she becomes a convincing herald of mercy. She knows that her primary task, especially at a moment full of great hopes and signs of contradiction, is to introduce everyone to the great mystery of God's mercy by contemplating the face of Christ. The Church is called above all to be a credible witness to mercy, professing it and living it as the core of the revelation of Jesus Christ.[61]
Closing Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ,
you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father,
and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him.
Show us your face and we will be saved.
Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money;
the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things;
made Peter weep after his betrayal,
and assured Paradise to the repentant thief.
Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: "If you knew the gift of God!"
You are the visible face of the invisible Father,
of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy:
let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified.
You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error:
let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God.
Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing,
so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord,
and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor,
proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed,
and restore sight to the blind.
We ask this of you, Lord Jesus, through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy; you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever.

Chicago Lights! A review by Candace Jordan
The wonderful Candace Jordan, Chicago Tribune Social columnist, ex-playboy centrefold and sparkling human who radiates warmth and sunshine wherever she goes, just wrote this gorgeous piece for her blog which summed up the opening night of my show. It includes photos from the opening night and really captures what it was all about!
Pink shoes – Part One- press Play…
How long has she been walking; she's lost track of time. She can feel the gravel crunch beneath her shoes, the pain of the blisters as they rub and bleed on her heels. Faded curtains blow slowly in the breeze in the house up ahead. The heat is stifling, the front door ajar. She enters, wipes the grimy sweat from her neck, breath ragged.
Music plays faintly from another part of the house. "Is anyone home?" – no response. Flies buzz in the corner over some left overs. All she needs is a glass of water and to use the phone. She takes another step … a floorboard creaks and she feels a creeping sensation in the pit of her stomach. …tbc
Chicago Lights the exhibition- this is beginning to feel like a wedding!
Why? Well now you ask…
1. I am feeling fried and frazzled.
2. I spent three months planning what to wear. Possibly longer.
3. I am obsessed by my show shoes. Really obsessed. I even photographed them and sent them out to friends in text form. I like to try them on and swish about in them.
4. Friends keep texting me telling me they are clothes shopping/ shoe shopping for the event. A lot of them.
5. Others contact me to discuss their outfits.
6. My sister has sent me photos of herself in ten different dresses so far from various London changing rooms. I even got a video.
7. We have catering. We have chairs.
8. We have a band! Yes a band!!!!
9. Who else has a band at an exhibition? That's definitely a wedding!
10. We sent out real invitations that people put on their mantle pieces. Proper posh ones with gold edges!
11. Money… the bills are escalating…
12. We have loads of people coming. Loads. So many my brain hurts. I need to start planning my three second small talk x 400 plus.
13. We have a DJ!
14. I know for a fact that Michael Jackson will be on the turntable! (Wedding!)
15. I spent two hours choosing my earrings. Two! I tried on every pair in the boutique. The shop assistants were trying to stifle yawns but I persisted and persisted until I achieved perfection!
16. I'm getting my hair done and my makeup!
17. All I need now is a honeymoon!
18. That's it! It's a wedding!
Chicago Lights- an article written by Rick Kogan of the Chicago Tribune (UK and Europe version!)
Ok, so here we go… after waking up to a number of texts and messages telling me that the link I posted previously doesn't work in the UK or Europe, I managed to screen shot each page and here is the actual article as it appears in the Chicago Tribune today! Hooray! We are all so global!
Life, death and other stories
I recently lost my sense of humour, hence the reason I've been away from this blog for a while too long. My humour is a well worn blanket, a comfy pair of slippers, a friend when I'm in need and an asset when a conversation is flagging or steering into the "woe is me" domain. Without my friend, humour, I've felt stranded. Here follows a rather dramatic story behind it's loss and finally, it's thankful return…
It was a regular Monday morning back in April – school run, quick dog walk with my two dogs (one, Ginger, adopted the day before, quite by surprise, from a photo shoot) and then a car ride to a shoot. I was off to photograph a gospel singer in a church on the south side so I was driving at a snail's pace as it's an unknown area for me. For about ten minutes, the roads were eerily quiet and empty of cars. I was ambling across an intersection just two minutes from my destination when WHAM! CRASH! WHACK! SPLAT- I was HIT with horrendous force by a speeding car and flipped over and over.
My life did not flash before my eyes and I didn't feel fearful. Instead I felt absolutely, indignantly furious. "What?!" I thought "this is NOT happening to me! I'm on my way to a church for goodness sake! I've been putting money in the karmic bank of goodness for years and THIS is how I'm repaid?" Well all these thoughts and more were squashed together into one enormous "NO!" and then suddenly, out of nowhere, I was surrounded by a large bubble (not sure how else to describe it) and felt like I was floating in very slow motion. I heard loud and clear in my head "I am protected. I am ok" and then, as I hung upside down, I found myself wondering how big the car was. Yes dear readers, that utterly prosaic observation was what I thought about at my junction with life and death and life again.
Then the car stopped, stank of smoke and the panic began. I've seen all the films where, at this point, the car blows up, so I got out as fast as I could (I don't know how) and scrambled through a broken window to an arm reaching out for me. Once out and surrounded by at least 40 gaping onlookers, I proceeded to spin about and wail very loudly in my very English accent, wearing my neat mac and tidy shoes. I could see people staring in wonder. "How could this happen to me?" I cried. " I am doing a project for this city and THIS is my repayment. I am so upset! I am furious! I can't believe this!" I continued for a while until my inner voice interrupted "How much longer are you going to wail you drama Queen? I think it's time to quieten down- you've made your point- be quiet!". I must say it's quite odd to have such a loud inner voice and even stranger for it to be so entirely and utterly sensible. I may have heard it whisper in the past but now it had taken charge and it had the tone of a bossy headmistress! I decided to ignore it until two nice ladies with the look of social workers managed to sit me down on the pavement and calm me.
Then, when everyone decided I was sane, out came the endless questions "Do you have insurance? Were you wearing a seatbelt? Where were you going? Can you call your insurance? Shall we tow your car?" I quite fancied a cup of tea and a hug but needs must so I found myself taking charge from my pavement seat. Then came the police- two very cool looking ladies with mirrored shades. "You are lucky to be alive" they said in unison "hardly anyone gets out of these accidents alive- ever."
With that, I was strapped onto an ambulance bed and rushed off to a trauma unit. Once there, I was surrounded by doctors who told me they needed to cut off my clothes to check my spine. "Cut my clothes?" I asked them incredulously and in a tone as bossy as I could muster whilst lying down. "You will do no such thing. I have just bought this outfit in London and you are not going to cut it." "Oh" they replied, looking surprised and chastised. They let me take control and take off my own garments. Once checked from top to toe, I was declared ready to go home and took an uber. Yes really. Friends rallied round and my husband was flown back shocked and shaken from his trip in Hong Kong. For a while my sentences came out a bit topsy turvy and I had a few flash backs but my main thought was one of relief, wonder and gratitude.
Three months have passed and my sense of humour has finally returned. It took lots of small steps, love, friends and a very conscious effort to live in the present and really appreciate every moment, to finally get it back.
My neck still hurts but I do have a great place to go where I get my bones cracked into place by a cheerful lady and then a handsome young Physiotherapist gets me to make double chins endlessly and then laughs AT me whilst I do them, which I find quite endearing.
I look back now and feel like my excess emotional baggage from the past that I was quietly dragging about, exploded on that road and I walked into my present life clean , shiny, free and ready for new adventures.
Always wear a seatbelt!!
Valentines ♡ An Antidote
Valentines Day is nearly upon us. How does that make you feel… excited, indifferent, desperate, desperate to be indifferent?
I received my first Valentine's card from a boy when I was fourteen. I met him when I was home for the weekend from boarding school and he was visiting us with his family. For some reason we had to go to the local shops together. I remember him being quite excitable about being with me, which as a slightly mean 14 year old, I found slightly vile. In his sweaty excitement, he took a lunge and tried to kiss me! Heaven forbid! Yuck! I managed to duck just in time behind a red letter box (the days of snail mail!) He must have found my indifference alluring as unfortunately on Valentine's Day he sent me a card. I was sharing a dormitory with about six girls in an old fashioned, creaky, cranky English boarding school set in large, spooky grounds. I'm not sure why I refer to it as a school as it was more akin to a prison. We were watched over by unloving, brittle old matrons with enormous pointed bosoms who marched up and down the corridors to check we were in bed on time and not disobeying the many rules laid down for us. Above and beyond the formidable military atmosphere, it was the relentless tedium that I un-fondly remember.
The "Day Girls"- those lucky girls who actually lived at home – raced off at the end of each school day to their families, decent meals, hugs and comfy beds whilst us boarders stayed at school. It was in this heady atmosphere of teenage hormones and blistering boredom that I opened the aforementioned card. He had written his words of admiration on lilac paper and I do believe he must have poured a whole bottle of perfume on it. I was horrified! I could hear my friends snigger but could also sense their watchful longing. When would they get one they wondered? I on the other hand hoped I would never get one again! Romance – Pah!
As boarders in an all girls' school, sightings of the opposite sex were rare and enough to get our hearts fluttering. The thought of romance and boyfriends started to permeate the hormone drenched atmosphere – nearly everyone wanted one or at least pretended they did. By this time I had taken to secretly reading books by the notorious writer Harold Robbins (look him up! 70s filth!) and was being informed by the pill popping, sex addicted, drug and drink fuelled fantasy lives of his shady heroes and wild heroines (so much more raucous and exciting than Fifty Shades of Bore!) I have no idea how I came across those books in the sterile atmosphere of school or how I managed to hide them from "matron" but I must have been quite wily.
With all those lurid and decadent images racing through my mind, my very funny friend Jo and I decided to write a novel. We spent a whole month fighting over the first page, both determined to make our mark on it and equally determined to include some "naughty" scenes of our own- what were we thinking? We had absolutely no idea- we were just two completely naieve 14 year olds with only heresay to go on and our imagination as fuel! We finally gave up our burning desire to be literary heroines but not without the thought of romance brewing in our hearts.
My poor maths teacher took the brunt of this. He was one of only two men who taught at the school (brave, brave man!). I remember with shame (and I have to admit, some mirth) how he used to teach me and Jo (yes her again- definitely a trouble maker!) and my great friend Rozanne, an after school club entitled "Skills of the Darkroom." We certainly had some skills to show him! He was a bit lacking in the looks department, was probably in his late 20s and was sweet and very shy. Each time he turned off the lights to process the image (which was at least 10 times a session) we took it in turns to pinch his bottom! The poor man! He never, ever mentioned it (and we did it every single week) whilst we giggled relentlessly.
Yes, I admit we were awful, but when you lock up loads of girls together, you have to expect some mischief!
Now you might be able to tell from these stories that I wasn't particularly romantic. On my journey through life, until I met Leo, young men did try and lure me with flowers and romance, one even hired a yellow rolls royce to take me out – but I wasn't having any of it!
When I finally found Leo I was so relieved that he had no idea at all that he was supposed to display his affection like that. He gave me flowers if he saw some he liked but never on Valentines. The thought of us two going for a romantic dinner with candles surrounded by other couples being "Romantic" would just make us cringe. Even on our honeymoon we went out of our way to avoid the typical, exotic, far flung location with secluded beaches, private bungalows and nightly rose petals adorning our beds. Instead Leo chose Turkey (Air miles! He was so chuffed!) where we filled our days with action packed adventure – from mountain climbing and yoga to swimming and sight seeing. We even joined a tour group who were very surprised we were with them – "Are you sure this is your honeymoon?" they kept asking "Really sure? Here with us?" "Yes" we laughed, "It's perfect!" We then hired a car to race about the coast line, stopping to stay the night in little places we liked the look of. Yes, this was much more "my cup of tea".
I am happy to say I think my 14 year old self would definitely approve of the woman I've become. So if you have kids (nieces/ nephews/ God kids), take a good look at them now (especially teenagers) as they are already showing you clear signs of exactly who they are going to be!

The tiring life schedule of today world has brough many changes in our physical and mental health and one of those changes are Adrenal Dysfunction and it is named as the problem of the current century. The dysfunction is commonly faced in form of Adrenal fatigue, it is a situation where when a person get tired a hormone is secreted in the body to overcome it and the large amount of secretion leads to the end of it hence resulting in the fatigue.
There are people who still feel symptoms like fatigues, anxiety, inflammation, and sleep disorder and these people are not actually suffering from thyroid. In this situation it is important for them to check their adrenal level. It is recommended to people to have a good rest, to give short breaks while doing tiring tasks and not over burden themselves with work. They should say no to few tasks which will give them power to work in future.
Another very important factor is to have a check on the sugar level, sometimes it's the sugar which causes the fatigue, you will feel sever hunger and a drastic change in mood. The fluctuation in sugar also affects adrenal and thyroid. Anxiety also results because of the problems in sugar level so by controlling sugar a person can also have a control on anxiety. So it is advised to eat meals rich in fat and protein and less in carbohydrates. As carbs dissolved in body quicker giving out sugar, protein take few hours and fats longer than that.
Food with good fats like coconut oil, chia seeds and avocado are advisable to take as they are good for thyroid and blood sugar as well. Intake of coconut oil is found to be a good remedy in order to reduce sugar level. Also caffeine should be reduced from daily life as it gives power to depression and anxiety.
Following are some factors to be memorized for keeping up with your blood sugar:
- Fat or protein in every meal, be it in form of meat, nuts or eggs.
- Taking snacks is good every two to three hours.
- Less intake of caffeine.
- Less fruit juice.
- No sweet before sleep.
- Yeast, corn, soy, dairy and wheat should be avoided.
- You should get your breakfast without delaying.
- Include fat and protein more.
- Avoid fasting
- Glycemic index above 55 should be avoided
- Fat and Protein to be added with carbohydrate, with the ratio 2:1.
Nuts, eggs, meats and protein shakes should be included in the diet and there would be food which will be sensitive to many but these should be included.

Clare Senior Hurler, Shane O'Donnell is expecting an "extremely close" contest this Sunday when Limerick are the Banner's opponents in the Munster Senior Hurling quarter-final.
Davy Fitzgerald's side are without Brendan Bugler and Colm Galvin for the tie due to suspension and emigration respectively. Cratloe's Conor McGrath looks set to miss the derby clash due to a hamstring injury while his clubmate Conor Ryan is another doubt along with Cian Dillon and Seadna Morey.
O'Donnell stated that the mood in the camp is great with championship looming. "Things are going great at the moment, we know at this stage that we've put in the work and it's easy for everyone to be confident in their ability at this stage".
The Ennis native feels there is nothing like Championship hurling. "In the League you'd be playing games and people would be describing it as almost championship pace but there's nothing like it. Championship is where you want to be and I can't wait for it".
Shane believes that mistakes will be punished on Sunday evening. "It's hard to explain because on the cover, on the surface it doesn't seem that different, you're still playing against the same calibre of player. You can't get away with mistakes the same you can in League".
Reflecting on the League, there is a sense of disappointment in Shane's voice but he along with the remainder of the Clare panel are determined to make up for their shortcomings. "We're all disappointed to get relegated. We've trained very hard this year and we're looking forward to getting into championship so we can redeem ourselves. We didn't think we were that bad in the League, we were obviously disappointed in a couple of games".
In the mind of the Éire Óg clubman, Limerick are a serious animal. "I think every championship game is going to provide a serious clash especially when it's a derby match. I think it will be extremely close, Limerick are a fantastic team".
Speaking at the launch of the U21 Bord Gáis Hurling Championship in Glendalough, O'Donnell admitted that Clare are not interested in talk of three or four in a row All-Ireland titles at the grade. Because the team changes over so much every year, you'd lose ten or fifteen each year so it's easy to be like it's a new team not to be thinking about three in a rows , four in a rows and all that sort of stuff. It just puts more pressure on you and builds pressure and it's not what you really want to be thinking about".
A number of new players have been drafted into Donal Moloney's U21 side and their hunger to get a starting spot has some of the experienced players like Shane O'Donnell on their toes. "You realise your place isn't as concrete as you thought and you start to train better and play better".
There is a host of new faces to Clare's U21 setup with Donal Moloney the only remaining member of management from the historic three in a row side as Gerry O'Connor, Paul Kinnerk and Jimmy Browne have all departed. Seanie McMahon, Kevin O'Grady, Kieran Corcoran and Peter Casey have joined the new look management.
Despite all the change, O'Donnell is of the belief that the more things change the more they stay the same. "Gerry brought so much to the table but at the same time Donal is a fantastic manager and he has this aura and presence around him. He's brought a great management team behind him again this year. Anytime you're there things are as seamless as they were all the years before".
Much loved for its cutthroat structure, the U21 Championship is adored by O'Donnell and Co as you can't take anything for granted. "The U21s is very immediate, the first match can be your last match and it's a serious concern especially when you've had a couple of years of very long years it can be a stark difference your year being cut short".
O'Donnell believes the U21 championship plays a huge role in the development of inter-county hurlers; he highlighted his clubmate David Reidy as an example and tipped him to make his first senior championship start.
Sports Ambassador with Bord Gáis and manager of the Dublin Senior Hurlers, Ger Cunningham feels that Clare will find it difficult to reclaim the Cross of Cashel trophy. "Clare are the 3-in-a-row champions but with a new management structure now in place, and having lost a number of key figures from the panel they know they'll have it all to do to retain the Cross of Cashel trophy".
Clare have been drawn in the semi-finals of the Munster U21 Hurling Championship where they will face the winners of Cork vs Waterford on July 15th. It will be a home venue for Clare if Waterford emerge on top but if Cork are victorious the Banner will be travelling to Páirc Uí Rinn.

In case you're a gambler and are trying to gamble on the web while staying at your own residence, casino sites accepting deposits with Paysafecard are going to be ideal for you. As a matter of fact, this prepaid method of payment has become immensely popular amongst gamblers from the European countries at present.
Things to Know about Paysafecard
- Oddly enough, Paysafecard happens to be amongst the most well-known prepaid methods of payment at the casinos in Europe.
- Moreover, deposits which are made using this method are 100% secure.
- Again, it is possible to make withdrawals at only a few casinos using Paysafecard.
- There are no processing fees.
- Last but not the least, transitions are made by means of mobile.
Overview of Paysafecard
After its introduction in the year 2000, Paysafecard which is based in Vienna has made a lot of inroad in the e-commerce world. Initially, this service was only available for the Austrian customers; however, now it has also been introduced in Germany as well.
At present, Paysafecard operates in as many as 43 countries across the globe while serving around 1 billion customers enabling them to shop at approximately 5,000 online stores.
Interestingly, Paysafecard uses an innovative "voucher system" instead of directly transferring the funds from a debit card or a credit card while the customers use their own cash for purchasing the voucher.
Moreover, one can buy these vouchers from any Paysafecard retailer including shops, petrol stations as well as supermarkets. In spite of the fact that Paysafecard was using a physical card until 2002, the company finally introduced e-vouchers having 16-digit pins.
Thus it is evident after going through the previous paragraphs that Paysafecard has become one of the safest as well as preferred banking methods amongst the top gamblers in Europe. As a matter of fact, upon buying the pre-paid cards, you simply need to make a deposit using your own unique PIN to any Paysafecard casino out there.

It's Just 'So Fox'
Fox is about to become an adjective. Executives at the News Corp.-owned network plan to roll out a branding campaign this summer across the network and its affiliates, anchored by the slogan "So Fox." As in, so brash. So edgy. So Fox.
The push will debut this month, sometime before Fox's new season kicks off on Labor Day. Joe Earley, who was named executive VP, marketing and communications for Fox Broadcasting Co. last year, plans to unveil the campaign to Fox affiliate marketing pros gathered this week in Orlando for the annual Fox Promotions Executive Conference (FPEC).
After the campaign launches with general spots during the summer, a second phase will roll out with show-specific branding communicating how each show is "So Fox."
Earley notes Fox has had other branding campaigns in the past, but this one allows the first-place network to have a little fun even at its own expense. "The thing that's important about this line is that it allows us to be self-effacing, which we think is very important for the Fox brand," he says. "Fox does have a naughty side, a bad side, a funny side. Our animated shows make fun of the network all the time."
And while industry observers have long referred to shows like the cringe-inducing lie-detector program Moment of Truth as "so Fox," now the network itself can join in.
The "unifying campaign," as Earley calls it, includes graphics, back plates, transitions, night opens and color palettes, with a dedicated color for each show. It will tie into everything from primetime series to sports, and perhaps most importantly, local stations throughout their day, according to Nick Belperio, senior VP of marketing at Fox Broadcasting.
Earley and Belperio both emphasize the importance of the affiliates' role in this initiative—and to the network in general. "We rely on these stations in a way other nets don't," Belperio says.
Fox programs two hours of its affiliates a day. ABC, NBC and CBS program 11 hours. Since Fox affiliates control 22 hours daily, promotion for the network is largely in their hands. In other words, the fact that the executives will preview "So Fox" during FPEC is no coincidence.
"FPEC is just sort of a change in direction for marketing," Earley says. "Some previous heads of marketing felt affiliates need to conform to the network. I truly believe they are the network.
"This new branding is with the affiliate in mind," he adds. "It is 100% localizable. Just as the branding embraces what's unique about Fox, the affiliate can localize what is distinct about their local market and their role in the local market."
Fox execs will be on hand at FPEC to workshop how to incorporate the collateral, which includes custom graphics for local outlets. "Now we can have one look through the day, so if you're watching Fox 11 in L.A. or Fox 5 in New York, it doesn't change when you get to 8 o'clock," Earley says.
Belperio expects record attendance for FPEC this year, with about 180 markets represented during three days at the Walt Disney World Swan resort. He intentionally keeps the individual meetings small, "so people can get up, interrupt, talk about it, have a meaningful meeting," he says.
Belperio and Michelle Garry, VP of affiliate marketing for Fox, stacked the agenda with several speakers from inside and outside the company. They include Maureen O'Connell, senior VP of government relations for Fox, who will talk about the DTV transition and other Washington-related issues; Fox executives from sports, research, online, publicity and promotions; and consultants Irma Zandl and Graeme Newell.
The three-day event is a six-figure endeavor, and the network foots the bill. "It's expensive but worth it," Belperio says.
Fox also will have some help with the tab. Fox affiliates are generally big syndication customers, since they have more airtime to fill than traditional affiliates, so most major syndicators participate in FPEC as sponsors of cocktail hours and other events, which helps defray the cost. Disney, Debmar-Mercury, NBC Universal, Sony and Twentieth Television are among companies represented this year, according to Fox.
If this all sounds a bit like the Promax/BDA promotion and design conference, it is with good reason. Years ago, Fox held the event in conjunction with Promax. Ultimately, the network changed course due to costs. Fox executives found Orlando the cheapest convention city and New York, where Promax was held recently, too steep.

The State sets tuition rates for different programs.
Here are the tuition rates from
Course costs are dependent on students' individual situation, including but not limited to, online vs. on-campus enrollment, in-state vs. out-of-state enrollment, and scholarships.
When registering for project management courses offered from within the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, course codes begin with ENCE, followed by a course number, followed by a section number. Many of these courses have two sections that you can choose from: 0101 and PM01. For example:
For many of these courses, section 0101 indicates the course is an on-campus course and PM01 often indicates the courses is an online course that students register for via MAGE. Tuition rates for these two sections often vary and depend on students' individual situations as explained above.

I love the days when I receive packages and today was one of those days 😀
I received my orders from Strawberrynet and e.l.f.
Couple of weeks ago Strawberrynet.com had offer on this Lancome Hypnose Waterproof Custom-Wear Volume Mascara and since this has been in my wish list forever then I just had to order it.
e.l.f also had sale (60% off on everything) and so I crabbed all this for myself and also little something for my upcoming giveaway, but I won´t show it to you, because it is a surprise 😉

Recession and threat of deflation. Let's just repeat the past and demand the impossible (WWI-war reparations then vs. untenable sovereign and private debt now), keep the exchange rate fixed (gold then vs. euro now), let's not believe what economists are saying (Keynes then vs. everybody, including the IMF now), let's not admit any mistakes and just observe while attitudes and values change to the extreme.
Then we can collectively wonder how it happened again and why we didn't learn our lessons from the previous episodes. The only thing that I am not sure about is will the next guy have moustache, beard or be clean-shaven, and will he land in Brussels or in some of the nation states.
This is too easy to interpret. Just like the ending of the 'Matrix', you don't even have to look – you know where the kicks and punches will be coming from.
Jesus, John Lennon, Stephen Hawking and Chuck Norris working together would not be able to keep the European monetary union flying. The European Union and especially the euro are from the point of game theory assured failures.

And if Trump's widely mocked former Press Secretary isn't enough to make you tune in, there's something else that might pique your interest.
The wonderful Liam Neeson will also be interviewed by Tubs as part of the press tour for his new action film, The Commuter.
The pair will be joined by Snapchat star James Kavanagh, presenter Maura Derrane and former footballer Stephen Hunt.
Other guests will include some of this year's BT Young Scientist entrants as well as Deborah Somorin, a woman who transformed her life after becoming homeless and is now an accountant.

We feature links, resources and large selection of budget airlines, chartered planes, sea cruises, ferries, travel agencies, land transports and attractions including beaches, medical tourism, retirement homes, historical and pilgrimage tours.
Malta Mnarja
Mnarja, or l-Imnarja, pronounced lim-nar-ya is one of the most important dates on the Maltese cultural calendar. Officially, it is a national festival dedicated to the feast of Saints Peter and St. Paul. In fact its roots can be traced back to the pagan Roman feast of Luminaria, when the early summer night of June 29 was illuminated by torches and bonfires. A national feast since the rule of the Knights, Mnarja is a traditional Maltese festival of food, religion and music. The festivities still commence today with the reading of the "bandu", an official governmental announcement, which has been read on this day in Malta since the 16th century. Originally, Mnarja was celebrated outside St. Paul's Grotto, in the north of Malta; however, by 1613 the focus of the festivities had shifted to the Cathedral of St. Paul, in Mdina, and featured torchlight processions, the firing of 100 petards, horseraces, and races for men, boys and slaves. Modern Mnarja festivals take place in and around the woodlands of Buskett, just outside the town of Rabat.
Holiday Vacation Trips Malta also showcase a unique blend of travel and leisure photos and stories, updates, events and announcements about roads, shopping malls, hotels, bed and breakfast, restaurants, groceries and more. Not just a travel guide but one-of-a-kind discovery of people and places.

When Ives spoke again, he forced his gaze back to the barkeep. "No, I would like dinner served in our rooms. We've had a long journey across the fen. We were attacked by three outlaws."
Nándor did not see Ives' reaction as he walked away, eying the man in the corner one last time. He escorted Ruya to the rooms. "The maids will come with your bath. I have to check the horses."
Garrick grinned as he too sheathed his sword. "No, coz. What has you on edge?" He leaned against the stable wall and crossed his arms.
