[01] Latest poll gives ND 5.9% lead over rival PASOK
Athens, 28/2/2005 (ANA)Ruling New Democracy (ND) continued to hold its lead over main opposition PASOK in the latest opinion poll unveiled by an Athens daily, garnering 39.2 percent of respondents' preference to 33.3 percent for PASOK.
In terms of other parties, the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) was preferred by 6.7 percent of respondents; 3.1 was the result for the out-of-Parliament LA.OS party; 3 percent for the Coalition of the Left (Synaspismos) and 2.2 for other parties. Exactly 8.5 percent answered "don't know/won't answer"
A similar poll by another research firm this week showed a 4-point lead for ND over PASOK.
Results of the latest poll, published in the Sunday edition of the daily "Eleftheros Typos", showed that 71.5 percent of respondents believe ND will win the next elections; 15.2 percent answered PASOK, while 12.3 percent of respondents answered "don't know/won't answer".
On the question of "who is most capable as prime minister" -- a standing question of most pollsters in Greece -- Premier Costas Karamanlis holds a roughly 20-point lead (48.1 percent) over his rival, PASOK leader and former foreign minister George Papandreou, who garnered 28.6 percent of respondents' preferences.
Asked to judge the premier's performance in the almost 12 months since he assumed the premiership, 54.1 percent of respondents opted for a positive or probably positive rating; 27.2 percent gave him a negative or probably negative rating, and 18.4 percent were neutral in their opinion.
The poll was conducted by the GPO S.A. firm on commission for the "Eleftheros Typos" daily between Feb. 21 and Feb. 24 on a sample of 2,000 people around the country and via random telephone interviews.
[02] Papandreou criticizes past PASOK oversights, says return to power depends on party's reform
Athens, 28/2/2005 (ANA)Main opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou on Friday evening launched into an unprecedented critique of many aspects of his own party's nearly 20 years of rule since 1981, speaking to members of a wide-ranging council established to restructure the party.
Although he said PASOK's overall performance was positive, Papandreou nevertheless stressed that the party's long hold on power generated an "arrogant behavior and a feeling of permanence, one detached from the people's problems".
Among others, and in comments that come a week before the main opposition party's closely watched congress gets underway, Papandreou also charged that certain high-ranking party cadres developed "personal groupings" over the years in order to survive politically, something he said exacerbated the party's internal crisis and made it more bureaucratic.
Moreover, the former foreign minister warned an audience that included many one-time Cabinet members of the previous two Simitis governments against expecting PASOK's return to power if it does not reform itself.
"Neither the people nor do we want to return to power in the condition we were, and for us to continue from the same point (we left off) and in the same manner," he underlined.
In pointing to a future strategy for the party created by his father in 1974, late premier Andreas Papandreou, the younger Papandreou said "principles and values" will again return to the agenda of debate, while discussion over the economy will centre on new criteria and what type of growth the country wants.
[03] PASOK's Papandreou speaks at congress of Serbia's Democratic Party
BELGRADE 28/2/2005 (ANA)Main opposition leader George Papandreou on Sunday arrived here over the weekend to participate as an official guest at the congress of the Democratic Party of Serbia.
In a brief address to congress delegates, Papandreou praised the role of the Democratic Party and its president, Boris Tadic, in reforming and bolstering democracy in the country.
"We want Serbia to become a member of the European family. We want to help you and we will help you create conditions for secure development and stability in the region, and with Serbia and Montenegro in the European family," Papandreou said, adding: "The European community will be much improved with Serbia and Montenegro."
[04] ND party refers to PASOK, Papandreou in touching on ongoing corruption furors
Athens, 28/2/2005 (ANA)Ruling New Democracy party secretary Vangelis Meimarakis on Sunday pointed to the previous PASOK governments and current main opposition leader George Papandreou in discussing the ongoing "decadent" phenomena, as he said, plaguing the independent judiciary and the Church.
"Mr. Papandreou feels that he is losing the opinion polls, and ahead of PASOK's congress he's searching for guilty parties," Meimarakis said from Messinia prefecture over the weekend.
"How did such phenomena arise? Who had the government's reins? Wasn't he (Papandreou) the foreign minister?" Meimarakis asked.
Moreover, he said the government backs Archbishop Christodoulos' recently announced initiative to "clean up" the Church.
PASOK reaction: In response, PASOK spokesman Nikos Athanassakis charged that ND "is again relying on its known method of distraction to transfer the issue to PASOK."
[05] Christodoulos remains steadfast in the face of criticism, calls on faithful to rally around Church
Athens, 28/2/2005 (ANA)Archbishop of Athens and All Greece Christodoulos on Sunday appeared unflinching in his determination to ride out an ongoing and unprecedented corruption crisis enveloping the Church of Greece's top hierarchy, days after his closely watched television interview and amid cries from some quarters demanding his resignation.
"If those battling us (the Church) think I will resign or that I will stop speaking out they are deeply mistaken," Christodoulos told an enthusiastic congregation of worshippers at a cathedral in the Athens district of Kallithea on Sunday morning.
Christodoulos himself has come under intense scrutiny for his alleged ties to a fugitive felon (Apostolos Vavylis) who apparently was involved over the past decade in activities ranging from drug smuggling to selling equipment to Greek police to opaque missionary activity in southern Italy to even working within the inner circle of associates of Jerusalem Patriarch Irineos -- especially in the run-up to the latter's election to the Orthodox throne of the Holy Land in 2001.
Irineos, himself at the centre of a multi-million dollar legal entanglement with an Israeli company and with accumulated allegations of financial mismanagement hanging over the Jerusalem Patriarchate, last week belatedly claimed that Christodoulos sent Vavylis to Jerusalem prior to his (Irineos') election in September 2001, a claim flatly denied by the outspoken head of the Church of Greece.
Back in Athens, Christodoulos on Sunday reiterated that the Greek people remain the most pious in Europe, something he said may bother certain circles.
Moreover, in an emotional plea from the pulpit, he called on Orthodox faithful to rally around the Church and its clergy in order to neutralize what he called an ongoing propaganda war aimed against him and the Church.
"Scandals exist in order to test people, but we must not lose our respect for the Church," Christodoulos added.
A handful of Metropolitans -- in the Greek Orthodox Church an ecclesiastical title and related jurisdiction roughly the equivalent of bishops -- have been accused, separately, of financial mismanagement, shady business dealings, promiscuity, lewd behavior and ties with a notorious high-ranking cleric, Archimandrite Iakovos Yiossakis, implicated in a trial fixing ring and antiquities smuggling, among others.
Yiossakis, in fact, remains jailed without bail for his alleged involvement in the Kythira antiquities smuggling case, which dates from the mid 1990s.
Response to Jerusalem Patriarchate: A day earlier, the influential Archbishop released a statement referring directly to the recent claims by Irineos.
"Today's extremely dangerous circumstances, ones affecting the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem and ones that have assumed huge national dimensions, at this crucial time necessitate strict self-control and responsibility, before things are led to a final and painful phase for Orthodoxy and Hellenism ... the cost for our country and people will be heavy. That is why I prefer, amid this new provocation tonight (Saturday), to conscientiously remain silent, even if I am to be treated unfairly."
His statement came after an announcement by the Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem saying, among others, that all of Irineos' statements - conveyed by a press spokesman and another Patriarchate-affiliated cleric -- last week "stand". Moreover, the Jerusalem Church clarified that Apostolos Vavylis arrived in the Holy Land as "Apostolos Fokas" not "Vavylis", which was mistakenly mentioned in a previous press release by the Patriarchate.
The press release adds: "The importance of the issue that has arisen should not revolve around 'who sent or recommended' (with no malicious intent) Vavylis and those with him, but the Church's tranquility as soon as possible�"
Along those lines, the Jerusalem Patriarchate announced that it is stopping every public discussion over the issue.
Trio of former PASOK ministers: Meanwhile, three of main opposition PASOK's top Thessaloniki-area deputies - as well as former ministers -- on Sunday all commented on the Church-related crisis.
Evangelos Venizelos, a constitutional law professor away from his political career, referred to a "serious ecclesiastical problem ... and not exclusively a problem of individuals".
On his part, former defense minister Akis Tsohatzopoulos -- who spoke to supporters during an event in Thessaloniki -- called for a "government intervention" vis-�-vis the autonomous Church of Greece in order to facilitate a clean up. He also claimed that the government was indifferently watching developments within the Church's ranks.
Finally, former minister Yiannis Magriotis cited what he called a need for "catharsis and democratic reform of the Church".
Speaking earlier from the pulpit before attending the same event in the northern port city organized by Tsohatzopoulos, Metropolitan of Thessaloniki Anthimos wholeheartedly sup-ported Archbishop Christodoulos and called on the faithful to stand by the Church.
[06] FM Molyviatis to meet US envoy on Monday
Athens, 28/2/2005 (ANA)Foreign Minister Petros Molyviatis will meet at the foreign ministry on Monday with US Ambassador to Athens Charles Ries.
According to a foreign ministry announcement on Sunday, the meeting will be held at 11:30.
[07] Top ND Euro-MP calls for end to 'attitude of corruption cultivated over the past 20 years'
Athens, 28/2/2005 (ANA)Former high-ranking minister and current New Democracy Euro-deputy Ioannis Varvitsiotis on Friday cited a need for the state to "stop an attitude of corruption that has been cultivated over the past 20 years, one that ridicules institutions and the rules of law," a more-or-less sharp and direct criticism of past PASOK governments.
Varvitsiotis made the comments during an event at the Old Parliament building entitled "Institutions in Greek society and the role of politics today", organized by the Constantine Karamanlis Institute of Democracy, a non-profit Athens-based think tank named in honor of ND founder and Greek statesman Karamanlis.
Varvitsiotis said an ongoing crisis in the judiciary, replete with numerous allegations of corruption is far worse that the furor regarding graft and sleaze within the Church's ranks, as the former affects all of society.
On his part, Athens University canon law professor I. Konidaris cited a need for measures to clearly "distinguish" the state from the Church, to the benefit of both sides, as he said.
[08] Gov't sources on latest release of State Dept. consular sheet on Greece
Athens, 28/2/2005 (ANA)Greek government circles over the weekend reiterated that Greece once proved during the recent Olympic Games that it is one of the safest destinations in the world, following the release late last week of a US State Department consular information sheet for Greece.
The same sources noted that the struggle against the international phenomenon of terrorism remains unending.
The report, as far as Greece is concerned, was published at the Internet site
[09] Communist party to take initiative for an 'international communist pole'
Athens, 28/2/2005 (ANA)The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) over the weekend announced its intention to undertake an initiative for the creation of an ''international communist pole".
According to a relevant decision taken at the party's recent 17th congress and published on Sunday, with the initiative concerning Communist parties around the world which ''are close to each other in their ideological and political positions, defend Marxism-Leninism and the contribution of socialism as we have known it, as well as the necessity for the struggle of socialism.''
In the decision it is also noted that the formation of the communist pole and the ''common action and cooperation between communist parties will give a new impetus in the effort to build a strong international anti-imperialist movement.''
[10] ND Euro-MP at UN council on gender equality next week
Athens, 28/2/2005 (ANA)New Democracy Euro-deputy Maria Panayiotopoulou-Kassitou will participate in a European Parliament delegation attending next week's 49th UN council for women's issues.
The delegation is comprised of members of the Euro-Parliament's gender equality committee.
[11] Bomb blast destroys Rhodes mayor's car
Athens, 28/2/2005 (ANA)A makeshift bomb was detonated under the car of the mayor of Rhodes late Friday evening, destroying the vehicle and damaging other cars parked nearby, police said.
The explosive device went off at around 10:30 p.m.
The mayor of the holiday island's largest municipality and its capital, George Yiannopoulos, phoned police after the blast. No individual or group claimed responsibility.
An investigation is continuing.
[12] Five illegals detained by coast guard
Athens, 28/2/2005 (ANA)A total of five foreign nationals, believed to be illegal migrants, were arrested by coast guard officers in two separate instances over the weekend on the island of Lesvos and in the western port city of Patra.
Three foreign nationals detained in Lesvos after being found without travel documents reportedly told authorities they were ferried over to the eastern Aegean island from the opposite Turkish coast.
In Patra, two foreign nationals were intercepted as they attempted to board an Italy-bound ferry boat with fake travel documents.

Hard Words, Harder Hearts (John 6:59-71)Pastor Matt Prine, June 19, 2011
Part of the To Belief series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
Today, we explore John 6:59-71 and conclude the conversation surrounding the bread of life. This passage carries some pretty hard words from Jesus, yet they are the words of eternal life. Amazingly, many of His "disciples" ended up grumbling and walking away from Him, unable to accept what He was saying. Throughout scriptures, we are faced with passages just like this one. Is our tendency to humbly submit to Jesus' words, trusting that He gives life? Or do we grumble against Him, find others who support our opinion, or simply walk away? Lord willing, we will be faithful like Peter, confessing that Jesus is the only ONE who has the words of eternal life.

|From Believing Unbelief to Belief »
John 6:59-71
59These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 60Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? 61When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? 62What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 63It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 64But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. 65And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 66From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. 70Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

The first time many of us were made aware of model David Gandy's considerable charms was when he lounged around in his tight white kecks on a sailing boat for Dolce & Gabanna. That perfect Dolce Vita moment is what propelled him to supermodel status.
And now he's out to recreate the magic for good old M&S, with his first underwear and sleepwear range for the brand.
The David Gandy for Autograph underwear launches on Thursday September 18 in the M&S flagship store on London's Oxford Street with an appearance by the man himself.
Whether you'll be allowed close enough to stroke/lick his pectoral muscles we're not sure (unlikely *sighs*), but fans have been promised the chance to get 'up close and personal' with the Gandy from midday.
The London event will mark the start of a week-long series of appearances by David – he'll travel to M&S flagship stores in Ireland (September 19), Hong Kong (September 23) and France on (September 25) – to personally unveil the collection.
David said of the launch of the premium range, inspired by the attention to detail synonymous with British tailoring: 'It's a really exciting time for me, seeing the collection that we've worked on for almost a year go into stores all over the world. Being able to visit some of those, meet customers and fans and see their reactions to the range we've created is something I'm looking forward to a lot – I hope they like it!'
What's not to like David?
The David Gandy for Autograph 28 piece collection starts at £20 for a two-pack of underwear, with vests priced at £15 and sleepwear starting at £22.50 for shorts.

Old Bakery and Emporium
Once a bakery built by Swedish immigrants in 1876 and functioned until 1936, Old Bakery and Emporium (OBE) is now a historical, national landmark in Austin, TX. Today, it serves as a gallery and storefront to highlight local artists and craftsmen.
E-commerce Research
Though this landmark carries inherent historical importance, Old Bakery and Emporium does not have its own website. As a business that relies on sales to stay afloat, this is of immense importance. According to a study done by the U.S. Census Bureau, over the last ten years, e-commerce has grown from less than 4% of all retail purchases to over 10% in the first quarter of 2018. As the graph below indicates, this growing trend shows no sign of slowing down.
According to an article in Forbes, 51% of Americans prefer making purchases online, as of 2018. In conjunction with the graph above, we are also seeing e-commerce grow by 23%, year after year. What this means for retailers is simple-- they need to have an online presence.
Here's the Question
Who should I design for? It would be presumptive to think that every person would enjoy the wares sold at a local art-consignment store. So my initial questions are threefold:
Who is my average user?
What is the current mood toward online shopping?
What sort of expectations do they have for their e-commerce experience?
User Interviews
The first step in my design process was to understand the average user. I interviewed four different users (age range: 27-55) that have some familiarity with online shopping and are likely to buy gifts online.
It was quickly apparent that, regardless of feelings toward online shopping, most people felt it more convenient as compared to searching in stores. That being said, frustrations can often arise when the filtering options are inaccurate or unclear. In fact, if these controls are too confusing, many users indicated that they might leave a specific website altogether.
Using this feedback, I created a persona to serve as a focal point for my future user-centered design.
Clarifying the Problem
As web pages have become overloaded with information and options, many consumers grow frustrated with the overwhelming steps necessary for a simple online purchase. This can lead to customers abandoning the process altogether, instead favoring a website that provides a more user-friendly experience.
Offering a Solution
The solution starts with a logical, organized site map that serves as the backbone for a straightforward website design. In conjunction with this organized site map, providing a fast, responsive 'search' option would allow the user to complete their task without the unnecessary dissonance.
Using Slickplan, I created a sitemap that made navigation simple by providing few entry-points into the e-commerce pages, while designing for depth, so that he user can search and/or filter as needed.
Now that much of the initial research had been completed, it was time to take the data and apply it to paper. I sketched out some early ideas in my notebook, thinking of the different facets involved with this design, namely: user-focus, and commitment to the designed sitemap.
The drop menu function felt a little funky and inconsistent with the overall layout, and early user tests showed that people had trouble finding the item that they were looking for. In addition, I opted to forego a "shop" option in the navigation bar and strictly relied on the shop button that was located lower on the page. This proved unhelpful, as many people first sought the shop function in the navigation menu and could not find it.
As user testing continued, I was able to make regular improvements to the design that relieved tension as users navigated through the pages. Below are a few examples.
As I mentioned earlier, the lack of a "shop" button on the navigation menu was quickly remedied, and the drop down menu got a major facelift. Common feedback that I received from early user tests had to do with ease of searching. Many users would have liked the option to search for an item right from the home screen.
So, my next iteration also included designs for a search bar in the navigation menu.
Another early change I made after user tests was that concerning the "Add to Cart" button. Initially, my product pages had an option to either add an item to the cart or check out fast. Most people were not sure what to do, and hesitated. In a later iteration of this design, I removed the fast check-out option and simply offered an add to cart button, from there, a drop down appeared over the shopping cart icon at the top of the page, which allowed the user to either continue shopping or go to checkout.
Testing my proposed solutions, I recruited three individuals to test a prototype using mid-level wirefames. Due to the constraints of the tools, I gave the users specific tasks to complete within the prototype. During the test, I was able to observe individuals successfully navigate the prototype to complete the task.
Next Steps
In considering where I would take this project next, I would continue with usability tests to determine the importance the "about us" section offers. There were a number of users that were really interested in going to the "about" section, with one even communicating that it might determine whether or not they would purchase something from that site.

This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
Kara Tippetts's story was not a story of disease, although she lost her battle with terminal cancer. It was not a story of saying goodbye, although she was intentional in her time with her husband and four children. Kara's story was one of seeing God in the hard and in the good. It was one of finding grace in the everyday. And it was one of knowing "God with us" through fierce and beautiful friendship.
In Just Show Up, Kara and her close friend, Jill Lynn Buteyn, write about what friendship looks like in the midst of changing life seasons, loads of laundry, and even cancer. Whether you are eager to be present to someone going through a difficult time or simply want inspiration for pursuing friends in a new way, this eloquent and practical book explores the gift of silence, the art of receiving, and what it means to just show up.
You have to be grateful whenever you get to someplace safe and okay, even if it turns out it wasn't quite where you were heading.
Anne Lamott, Small Victories
Hi. My name is Kara Tippetts, and I may not be alive when you read this book. I hope so, but I don't know. That decision is in the hands of the Author of my life—His name is Jesus. I trust Him with every ounce of who I am. The reality is I am dying, and some of that story is told in my book The Hardest Peace. There are other pieces that were hinted at in that book but not developed at length. It's not because those pieces aren't important, because they are. It's just that they were best kept for another book, one that I hoped to write with my good friend Jill.
Jill and I dreamed and talked about writing a book together, one that would try to take the mystery out of walking with one another through suffering. That's the book you have in your hands. We would have liked to write a book that took the uncomfortable or awkward out, but there's no way we could do that and be honest. Because honestly, it's hard. But it's not difficult. You just have to show up. That's not some kind of secret figurative language. We're talking about literally showing up.
There is so much power in showing up, humble power in saying,
I'm here. I may not have the answers, but I'm here. Most often it's those who come without answers or agendas who are the most helpful. Those people have been invaluable to our home. Jill has been one of those people. That's why I wanted her help on this project. She knows what she's writing about. In being a friend to me during this season, she's seen the bad, the ugly, and the horrible. But she's also seen the beautiful. And the beautiful has been worth it. So worth it.
Life can be numbing when the story is flailing along in suffering. Life can be pretty difficult even on the good days, but throw cancer or divorce or bankruptcy or the death of a child into the mix and everything becomes dizzying. Sometimes even paralyzing. So often we would be spinning in weariness from my latest diagnosis or round of tests and we'd even forget to eat. Can you imagine, forgetting to eat? It's true. But the sensitive hearts of our community showed up, ready to help.
It has been beautiful to watch God gently care for our needs so specifically through the care of our community. The care came in both unexpected and specific ways most days. Ways that I didn't ask for or know I needed. But even more than my needs, God has cared for the tender hearts of my children and my husband. He has shepherded and protected them fiercely throughout my diagnosis, and now as we are moving toward my last breath, I see the gentle hand of protection ever upon my family, ready with present grace to walk them through the hard good-bye.
In my affliction, as I see more hard come, I know we will be kept. I often say my story is one that has been shattered into a million pieces but that each piece is known and loved. The shattered pieces of us all are known, intimately known. As I see our community surround us, I see the intimate knowing of God in our situation. Showing up for another says,
I see you. Your pain is known, and though I cannot make it better, I'm here and that's what matters. Showing up for another, extending yourself for another, is always costly. Always. So why do it? There are several reasons, actually, that we'll cover in this book. But one of the most important is community. Another way to say that is
I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
John 15:15
Friends. Community. It is the only way to know and be known. It's where we see our own humanity and frailty, our gifts and our weaknesses. When we show up for one another, we invade each other in love and become witnesses to the truth that trials and sickness and pain are not the whole story. There's more, so much more. We can remind one another that our lives are not a mistake. And, most importantly, that we are loved with an everlasting love.
Editor's note: Kara Tippetts went home to Jesus on March 22, 2015, after a long battle with breast cancer. Kara completed her contributions to this book before her death. Therefore her words carry the tone of the present tense, as they should.
Your heart is riding around in my backyard on a trike and I want to weep. Okay, I did a little while making the mac n' cheese and reading your last blog. But I wiped up those tears before the littles came upstairs. I feel as though I sit on the fringe of your cancer. We are moms together. I know no other way to describe my heart. I think the reason complete strangers read your blog and feel like they know you is because you lay it all on the line. Your heart is completely open. In the good and the bad. You let people in. It's a gift.
You have counseled me with wisdom on the playground while our children play and swing. We quickly moved past pretending into some great conversations.
We might not have years between us, but we are friends.
We are moms together. And that's why all of this matters so much.
In my midtwenties, I had my first real encounter with suffering. Before that time, I didn't really know or understand hard. I certainly didn't know it could be used as a noun until Kara.
I had experienced small things in life that felt like enormous problems, but nothing shook my world until I had my first baby. She had colic and cried much of the day and night. I spent hours feeding, holding, and walking with her, attempting to comfort her while she was in obvious pain. But nothing seemed to work.
Certainly there are many worse hardships, but this became the thing that rocked my previously mundane life. I was a young mom feeling completely alone, helpless, and depressed.
I did attempt to reach out to some people, but it took so much effort that holing up was easier. While Kara is an extrovert and a gatherer of people, I am an introvert. I love people but refuel alone. During the time we were dealing with colic, I began to hide. I lacked the energy to do more than survive.
While doctors do what they can for colic, they also nudge you out the door and tell you it will pass. I was told to hang on, that my child would grow out of it.
I hung on by my fingernails, dangling from the side of a cliff.
I know numerous people showed up for me during that period, but I specifically remember one friend. I didn't want her to come over. Remember, I'm an introvert (text, don't call) and I prefer to enjoy my misery alone.
She came anyway.
She brought lunch and we sat at the kitchen table. She didn't remark on my appearance, though I'm guessing it wasn't a shining moment for me. Nor did she comment on the fact that I clutched my daughter to my chest and never offered to let her hold the baby. That would have been a logical decision on my part, but I was nowhere near normal functioning at that moment.
I don't remember any particulars of the conversation we had. That part didn't really matter. I do remember the microwave beeping once a minute to remind me that I'd reheated my coffee for the thousandth time. I didn't get up to stop it. Not once did my friend mention this annoying sound.
Why didn't I move from my chair and stop the beeping? I don't know. I know only that even if I wasn't physically paralyzed in that moment of my life, I was stuck. I couldn't function.
My friend wasn't afraid to push into my messy life and simply sit with me. We didn't spend hours together. In fact, the whole experience didn't last all that long. We ate. She made me keep the leftovers, and then she was gone.
She showed up.
She didn't pester me about why I was so crazy to not let someone else hold my child. She didn't try to fix me or even advise me. She was simply soft in a place that felt like broken glass. I'll never forget her showing up, though I don't remember what was said.
Showing up is not a new concept, but sometimes it feels that way. Something in our culture has told us to pull back, to protect ourselves from hurt, from people, from entering in with one another.
And there's a reason for that. Showing up can get us hurt in the biggest ways. People disappoint and wound us. Or, in the case of walking through suffering with a friend or loved one, it can hurt beyond anything we've ever imagined. Take-me-out-at-the-knees, ugly-cry hurt.
As I write this, Kara is in a lot of pain. While I can pray and beg for relief for her, I have nothing in my arsenal for helping with pain relief. I want to make it better. I like to fix things. But I can't fix this. I can't change the fact that, barring a miracle, her babies are going to be without a mother one day. Or that her husband has an unimaginably hard journey to walk when she leaves this earth.
And that's painful.
So, yeah, showing up isn't easy at times.
But maybe that's why there's such value to be found in it. I've learned real beauty lies in the good that comes out of the hard. While walking through suffering with a friend or loved one can hurt in the biggest ways, it also brings the greatest blessings. It changes people. Showing up can be the greatest gift ever given or received.
The New York Times bestseller The Purpose-Driven Life has a first line I will never forget.
It's not about you.

During his lifetime, Whitman continued to refine the volume, publishing several more editions of the book.

But there was another reason Whitman set his poems in type: How Whitman could have been so prejudiced, and yet so effective in conveying an egalitarian and antiracist sensibility in his poetry, is a puzzle yet to be adequately addressed.

Famous passages on "Dilation," on "True noble expanding American character," and on the "soul enfolding orbs" are memorable prose statements that express the newly expansive sense of self that Whitman was discovering, and we find him here creating the conditions—setting the tone and articulating the ideas—that would allow for the writing of Leaves of Grass.

Because of this proximity, Duckett and Whitman met as neighbors. Both events were difficult for Whitman and left him depressed.
Thus ended the lifelong pilgrimage of the Good Gray Poet as his contemporary, critic W. This was no accident, since Whitman now conceived of his project as involving the construction of what he called a "New Bible," a new covenant that would convert America into a true democracy.

On September 23, 2002, facing a regulatory mandate issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Island teminated the position of the Nasdaq 100 Index Tracking Stock (QQQ) on its book. While the market volume remained almost the same, Island's market share in the QQQ fell significantly. However, Island still dominates other trading centers in the price discovery process and volatility spillovers. The spreads on most trading centers became narrower after Island removed its quotes from the public view. The overall results suggest that the decrease in market transparency does not compromise market liquidity. Informed traders who provide price discovery in the QQQ are willing to sacrifice potential price improvements for the fast speed and reliable execution that Island offers, and are able to trade in the absence of displayed quotes.

In his first budget, Philip Hammond has announced plans to reduce the tax-free directors' and shareholders' dividend allowance from £5,000 to £2,000.
The new regime will come into force in April 2018 and is set to be a blow to small business owners. It means a basic rate tax payer who receives £5,000 in dividends will have to pay an extra £225 tax from April 2018, and a higher rate tax payer will pay an extra £975.
This change will mainly affect savers with larger investments, and small business owners who take income from their businesses as dividends.
How will this change affect my portfolio?
From April 2018, investors should be aware that any dividend income over £2,000 will be taxed at the following rates:
• 7.5% for basic rate taxpayers;
• 32.5% for higher rate taxpayers; and
• 38.1% for additional rate taxpayers
With the reduction in the dividend allowance coming into force next year, it's time to think about how to make the most effective use of the tax allowances and exemptions that are available to you.
With the ISA allowance set to increase from £15,240 to £20,000 in April and the new Lifetime ISA (LISA) launching, now would be the ideal time to consider using the more generous tax-free ISA allowance to optimise tax efficiency.
The reduction in the dividend allowance also brings to the fore the importance of using other tax-efficient wrappers, such as pension allowances and investment bonds, to mitigate the increased tax exposure that's coming this way.
