Hi friends! Long time, no see. I haven't been intentionally taking a break from the blog, but it just sort of happened that way. First, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for your amazing support on my last post about my resolutions. I received so many amazing comments, emails, and texts from strangers and friends. It blew me away. I honestly had no idea so many people struggle with anxiety and headaches. It can feel like such a lonely thing, but it's so reassuring to know I'm not alone in this process! So thank you. Second, I'm here! I'm blogging! Woo! January is always tough for the blog, but I'm going to try to continue posting throughout the month. But, I also decided I'm not going to obsess over it or stress on the days when we can't snap photos. If anything, you miss a few jeans and striped tees looks (since that's all I wear lately anyway) but I will continue to be here as often as I can!
So if I didn't hype you up enough in that first paragraph about this killer outfit... get pumped! Jeans, a new striped tee (really? did you need another one?) and my everyday winter coat. But! The most exciting news about this entire outfit is that I finally splurged and bought the Hunter boots I've been wanting for YEARS. Seriously, these were so overdue. Since we're trying to save money and pay off debt right now, I was so happy when I received enough in gift cards for Christmas to buy these for myself. They are my fave! They aren't super duper warm, but they are 100% waterproof, so that in itself is amazing for these freezing rain days we've been having. Plus, I just wear my extra cozy fuzzy socks and I'm good to go! Love these though; so excited they are finally mine!
So I could recap everything going on in my life with the headaches (still have em) and the anxiety (no episodes lately), but I think I might try and do a little monthly recap at the end of the month. I'm not totally sure yet; and haven't been successful at that before, but we'll see. A lot of you are super interested in my weight loss endeavors (which has always been the case here on SP) so I'd love to somehow chat about that more. Not sure how. Use my abandoned Snapchat? Start a Tumblr? Just post about it here? Insta stories? Maybe if that's something you're interested in, let me know how you'd like to get that information. I have always struggled with bringing diet/fitness into this blog for some reason. It just isn't my "brand" if that makes any sort of stupid sense. But SP to me has always just been my outfits, happy daily life, and my travels around Michigan. But chat with me, let me know what you'd like to see here, or there, or anywhere, and I'm all ears.

At 10.59am on 14 October 1968 an earthquake measuring 6.9 on the Richter Scale and with a moment magnitude of 6.5, changed the shape of the Meckering community forever. Although not the strongest earthquake in Australian history, it remains one of the most significant in terms of the damage to property and subsequent cultural upheaval. The earthquake destroyed the town center once home to a bank, hotel, shire hall and three churches. Of the 75 houses in the community, 60 were condemned. Railway lines buckled and the mains water pipeline folded in upon itself. Twenty people were injured that day but incredibly no one was killed. Once a bustling, growing community with a population of approximately 500, the town of Meckering was the political and cultural center of the Cunderdin Shire. On the day of the earthquake 45 families left the town, never to return. Many more would follow. Very few of the businesses rebuilt. Now a community of just over 200. The town of Meckering is a shadow of its former self. The earthquake was felt throughout the southern half of the State and caused damage in the surrounding townships, particularly York and Northam, and in the Perth metro area. The earthquake and its aftershocks were accompanied by rupturing of the ground along a line about 37 kilometres long, over an area of about 200 square kilometres. The Meckering Fault was the first tectonic ground breakage to be recorded in Australia. Sunday 14 October 2018, marks the 50th anniversary of the earthquake that destroyed Meckering. To commemorate this significant occasion, the Shire of Cunderdin and the community of Meckering will host a gala dinner on Saturday 13 October and a full day event on Sunday 14 October.
The gala dinner will provide an opportunity for Meckering residents past and present, friends and family, our event sponsors and others who may have been impacted by the earthquake or just have an interest in it, to come together to celebrate our amazing community. The gala dinner will be a spectacular evening of fine food, entertainment, dancing and of course great company, all in a beautiful marquee setting in the Meckering town centre. Admission to the gala dinner is by ticket only. Your ticket includes passed canapes accompanied by a beer, wine or soft drink during cocktail hour, followed by a seated entrée and main meal and finished with a dessert grazing table and complimentary tea and coffee. Live music will entertain guests as the evening progresses. A range of beverages including red, white and sparkling wine and beer (with Meckering's very own "Richter Ale" on tap) will be available for purchase during the evening. Dress is formal.
Starting at 10.00am on Sunday 14 October, the Meckering Earthquake 50th Anniversary Commemorative Event will be an action-packed day full of FREE activities and entertainment for the whole family. Our Master of Ceremonies, popular ABC radio presenter Di Darmody, will lead us through the day's proceedings which will commence at 10.30am with an official welcome from the Cunderdin Shire President. At precisely 10.59am we will have a moment of reflection to recognise the significance of the earthquake that forever changed the shape of the Meckering townscape and impacted on so many lives.
Throughout the day, visitors will have the opportunity to take a site tour out to the earthquake ruins and fault line and hear firsthand accounts of the earthquake from local residents. Our newly revamped earthquake walk trail, just a short walk from the town centre, will be open to visitors all day.

text: What is craft? What is artisanal? How important is "traditional" and what precisely does that mean in an ever evolving industry? For me it has come down to physical location and available resources. I don't make bourbon as I don't really think that I should even remotely be on the same level as Beam-Suntory, Sazerac, Heaven Hill, etc. I DO make whisky from local resources though. Yeah, I've sold some pretty young (one week to one year) old whisky but I haven't charged anything over 30 bucks either. I personally think it would be bullshit if anyone does if it isn't at least a year old. I use local grains. I use spring water from my own spring. We hickory smoke our grains, and make our own charcoal out of hickory. I'm a rural distillery and none of my neighbors grow organic, non-gmo grains. Maybe that sounds awesome on a label, but I'd rather patronize the farmers that I go to church with instead of having a cool logo on my bottle. I don't just make whisky either. We have all kinds of stuff sitting in bond: Apple Brandy, Strawberry Brandy (damn that one hurt the wallet), Straight Rye, Grape Brandy, and rum. The rum sure as hell wasn't made from locally made molasses, but the molasses was free if I could get it off of the truck. So far it's the only thing we have not made from Ozark grown produce. We have got about 8 barrel variations as well: recoopered, new white American oak, new toasted, 3x used wine, new uncharred, etc. Only time will tell which one will taste better and I'll wait as long as it damn well takes to find out. I still have a day job so that I can feed this obsession too. I wake up at 5am every morning, listen to the "snap crackle and pop" of tired joints, and put on the uniform of a U.S. Soldier. When I have a long weekend, vacation, or a holiday, I go back home to my Ozark holler and make liquor. So tell me this: Is it craft? Is it artisanal? Better yet, call me one of these days, set up a time for a tour, and try it. Ultimately what I'm asking is this: Is it phenomenal? If not then let me know because my dedication is to making mind blowing great spirits and I don't care if it's done one cup or one thousand gallons at a time. What are your thoughts? I honestly don't think that this topic is really hit on enough. I think that if you are going to bring a product to market it should be to answer a problem. For me it's because of my deep love of the Ozarks. I wan't the end user experience the terrior of the Ozark region of America. I believe that it is underrepresented and should be a distinctive category in spirits. Let me be real clear. I love the Ozarks and think that we should stand out in the spirits category. I think that is something that we can all raise our glasses to.

Well, it's been a funny old year already! Not so much a trickle of speculation news, but an occasional drip of the most random selection of names in a while and even more people saying they're NOT going to be on the show.
We start with Paul Hollywood, or rather, we don't. Or maybe we do. There's been so many twists and turns in this story you could make one of Mary Berry's pointlessly difficult dough plaits out of it. I wanted you to do the show Paul, it would have been a delight, but this drama has gone on for so long now I don't care. And don't even think of trying to pull a Robbie Savage and actually turning up, I'm now thinking we should be spared all the soggy bottom gags. In fact, we've been given an alternative baker, in the form of Hairy Biker Dave Myers – do they have replacements out the back? Did they have a spare crazy Italian socialite hanging around the year Nancy was on the show? I guess they had a spare Aliona in the form of Iveta and look what happened there – no more non-tangos hopefully!
We may not have had a baker but I can't help having flashbacks to THE HORROR THE HORROR that was Gary Rhodes and that unfathomable frying pan dance move. WHAT IS KAREN DOING BENDING OVER LIKE THAT? WHY IS HE CASTING A WEIRD SPELL ON HER BACK? Oh right. With hindsight, I think the lovely Karen was desperate. He was an utter fool. But yeah, I'd be happy to see Mr Hollywood or a biker, hairy or otherwise.
Another person who apparently turned the show down was Tim Henman, thankfully, as I will forever know him as Mr Beige. Our sportsperson this year is apparently, hopefully, better-had-be Rebecca Adlington. We suggested her first a good few years ago and now we want to see her in action! Another of our now gold-plated suggestions is Sophie Ellis-Bexter, but as I said before, get some make-up or even sleeves over that tattoo! Maybe we should start suggesting people now to turn up in another three years or so? Oh yeah, we also suggested Martine McCutcheon way-back-when and now she's been made bankrupt…the glitterball is a-calling…
I am utterly convinced Mr Henman has already taken part. I can see it in my head and I just can't think who I am confusing him with. I have been convinced by the collective wisdom of the Twitterverse that this. has. not. happened. Which is worrying in itself. However, in my head, he was rubbish, so there's probably not much point him joining the show. I can't cope with Sophie Ellis-Bexter taking part purely because I don't think I could tolerate three months of Murder on the Dancefloor jokes. And Martine? She's going to do it at some point. It's a given.
I will admit though, these are hardly exciting showbiz names, the mehs surrounding the Abbey Clancy rumour were overwhelming and even the late emergence of Vanessa Feltz's name hasn't caused uproar. Time to roll out the big guns BBC, and who's name has surfaced? Terri Hatcher! Superman puns vs Desperate puns, how will Brucie manage? If this is true, I quite like the idea and it is completely random. She's always seemed to have a bit of personality and if she thinks it's going to be like the jazz-hands-twirl-shimmy world of DWTS then she's got another thing coming!
If Abbey Clancy is involved...Is she is really the calibre of celebrity we have come to expect. For what else is she famous for than a happenchance marriage to...someone...I want to say a footballer?
Teri Hatcher on t'other hand, I can get on board with. Though I can't help but wonder if the speculation in this case has just come about because of Dean Cain (OMG BLAST FROM THE PAST)'s appearance on DWTS. And come on, T.H. is famous enough in the USA, to do their show, why would she come over here?
Is anyone else noticing this line-up looks distinctly….female? There's yet again been a dearth of men being dragged onto the dance floor, with male rumours really tailing off over the last few weeks. A long-standing rumour, however, has been Fabrice Muamba. He wowed us at Christmas and gave us one of our most re-tweeted tweets ever, so that's obviously won us over! Natalie Gumede from Corrie is also lovely on Twitter so she'll hopefully appear too. Back to men, if we don't get one of JLS then I will eat my spangly hat!
First of all - Frankie - do you own a spangly hat? If so, I need to see this. Readers, just so you know, Frankie does have a good head for hats. It is a skill. Gah, back to the point. Yes, Fabrice Muamba did retweet us at Christmas and we were very impressed with his (undermarked) 'salsa' (yes, still the inverted commas for that dance but from what I saw of Fabrice's dancing, he could quite easily pull off an authentic salsa with pizzazz.) Natalie Gamede, yes lovely, but I fear may have too much dance experience. Though that didn't stop Safety Car Van Outen from appearing.
That's our contestant speculation wrapped up for now, it can't be long until the real line-up appears and/or the Sun leaks it and the Daily Mail starts whingeing. Speaking of which, with the launch show being filmed on 3rd/4th September this year, we're expecting an early start. Or something odd, possibly to do with Doctor Who being 50. Welcome back to the chaos!

5th Installment of LinkedIn Tips for Financial Advisors
These business tips are action plans that will help you grow your business faster with less stress and less work. I have written them for service-based business owners such as financial advisors, RIAs, anyone making a living selling their knowledge and expertise. If this is not you, you can unsubscribe below.

Reading time: Less than 2 minutes.
Today's topic, "Growing Your Personal Network."
Now you're ready to get a network of people who can help you get prospects and people who may become your clients.
The easiest and fastest way to expand your connections is to have LinkedIn access your email address book. This only works if your email is with Lincoln's list of providers.
Move your mouse over the connections link that's located at the top of your LinkedIn homepage. From the drop-down menu select Add Connections.
Is important to get over 500 connections as quickly as possible because people are more open to connecting with you then, and you have greater credibility.
Invite your prospects to connect with you and if all possible personalize your request.
Be careful when sending invites for members whom you do not know because if enough members reject your invitation as a "I Don't Know," LinkedIn will restrict you to connect me with members with whom you have their primary email address.
LinkedIn might even shut you down for a while. I call it being in LinkedIn jail and have been jailed twice. Each time I apologized and they let me out. It's definitely worth the risk.

Major News
John Nightingale
Great News! Our move is starting to gain momentum and we can finally tell you where we are going. Read below for the official press release from our directors:
It is with a great sense of relief, excitement and anticipation that we are able to bring you up to date with progress on the proposed move of the Shop run by the Manna House.
As you are aware we sold the original Manna House building in October 2015 and since then have been working tirelessly to sort out the practicalities of a move further into St Giles Street. Thanks to the good auspices of the new owner, we have been able to rent back the building until the end of April 2016. However, we are now pleased to announce that we have just signed a lease on No 39 St Giles Street, which is the unit between Lawrence's Coffee House and Bonds Jewellers and is directly opposite Castilian Street.
Our original plan was to move at the end of January but due to technical issues things have taken longer than anticipated to organise. We do not yet have a firm date as to when we shall relocate but it should be by mid April, giving us a couple of weeks to tidy up the old building. We are now talking to shop-fitters, phone people and others to co-ordinate, what we hope will be, a smooth transition.
This move will coincide with the completion of the first phase re-development and modernisation of St Giles Street currently being undertaken by the Borough Council. We believe the move will increase footfall and make us more accessible. We are allowing three years to re-establish the Shop, grow the business and build customer base that will make it viable in its support of our counselling service. If the Shop is unable to meet its commitments after the three years, then it is very likely that it will be closed and we will loose the witness and presence on the High Street.
In order for this bold step to be fruitful, we will need the active support and commitment of all churches and their members. The lease will cost £1,200 per month which will have to be funded out of revenue. We estimate that we need an extra 20 customers per day to make the finances work. As stated before, the Trustees clearly see this venture as mission and an important outreach into the community.
It is worth noting that sadly, after many years of service, the small shop at Kettering has recently had to close. Watford is another town that will lose its Christian Bookshop in April 2016; let us believe together that Northampton will not be another similar statistic !
Please pray that all the final details will fall into place. Pray too that the financial challenges will be met.
- Vic Winchcombe, Chair
- John Nightingale, Director
Be sure to share the news of our move with your church, family and friends. And remember, we're still trading right up to our relocation and will keep any interruption to service as short as possible. So keep coming back to us for your Bibles and Christian literature, scriptural cards, our great range of gifts and church supplies.

michael-garcia - October 21, 2016
The incomparable Lady Gaga wore pasties, a see-through shirt, and a pair of short daisy dukes as part of her Dive Bar tour. For months Lady Gaga has been sporting mostly daisy dukes as part of the country look of her new album. These are so short that a bit of that famous Lady Gaga booty peeks out from underneath. There is nothing finer than some nice butt cleavage...except for boob cleavage. We get that and then some with her choice of top. She had on a see-through Bud Light shirt and no bra underneath. Just a set of pasties to cover up her nips. I don't know why she bothers. Are there people in this world who haven't seen Lady Gaga's nips at this point. Maybe a newborn, but even that is dubious. I say she frees the nipple and rips off those pasties...carefully. That's got to hurt.
Sure, a Bud Light shirt and daisy dukes is a far cry from dressing like a transexual alien or wearing a meat dress but that's the thing about Lady Gaga, she always keeps us on our toes. Â

The demographics of the Middle East over the last century show a drastic trend in the religious composition of the region. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Christians comprised 14% of the population of the Middle East; now, according to a 2015 article in the New York Times, that number is down to somewhere between 3-4%. On a national level, the statistics are similarly alarming. In one century, Lebanon's Christian community has gone from being a majority to just a bit over a third of the nation's population. In Iraq, only a third of the nation's Christian population exists at its 2003-level, and in Syria a third of the nation's community has fled the country since the start of the bloody Civil War in 2011. The numbers speak for themselves. There is a cleansing of Christianity occurring in the region.

On Palm Sunday, Egyptian Coptic Christians were the victims of violent ISIS attacks just weeks before the pope's visit to the country.
The first explosion occurred on Palm Sunday at the Mar Girgis church in the city of Tanta, claiming 29 lives and injuring 71. Just before 10 a.m. on Sunday April 9, a bomb planted under one of the pews turned the church into a chaotic uproar. On-scene interviews with the churchgoers indicate that a negligent police force may also bear some responsibility. "The police didn't protect the church on an important day like today," claimed a local taxi driver. Images and videos from the attack circulated on social media showed blood-stained palm crosses and overturned pews and lecterns.

Arkansas executed two convicted murderers, Jack H. Jones and Marcel Williams, on Monday, the first time a state has executed two inmates on the same day since 2000. Ledell Lee, executed last Thursday, was the first inmate Arkansas executed since 2005. Kenneth Williams, convicted murderer of three, is also scheduled for execution on Thursday.
In the midst of increasing tension over Trump's immigration directives, cities such as New York City, Seattle, and San Francisco are protecting their status as sanctuary cities. Now, Catholic churches in different states have followed suit by declaring themselves sanctuary churches, or safe havens where immigrants in fear of being deported can seek shelter. Although there is no strict definition of a sanctuary city, these cities usually have a set of laws curbing federal requests for the sanctuary city to enforce the federal government's immigration laws.
On Good Friday the Archbishop of Chicago, Blase Cardinal Cupich, held a march for peace in Chicago's Southside and called for "all people of good will" to join him. More than 1,500 people attended the march, which started at St. Benedict the African Parish and followed a four-mile route through the neighborhood.
The diverse crowd included residents of the neighborhood as well as people from all over the city and surrounding area. A large number of Chicago priests joined their cardinal on the march, and religious leaders from other Christian churches walked alongside their congregations. Residents waved from apartment windows and front porches as the crowd marched down their streets.
One night a few weeks ago, I sat on my bed, talking to my roommate until too late. We have this ritual where we turn off all of our lights but one when we are about to go to sleep, so the room is bathed in a pink glow from the lamp's pink shade. We sat opposite each other on our beds, talking about everything and nothing, giggling uncontrollably at times. I had a sudden nostalgic thought that times like these were quickly coming to an end. Soon, we would be living in different rooms in different states. I thought about how much I loved her, and how much I loved so many people who came into my life over the past four years.
I recently watched the Danish film "Babette's Feast," which tells the story of a French maid living in a small, isolated, religious community in Jutland with two aging sisters. The beginning of the film explains this curious phenomenon, starting with the story of the sisters, Philippa and Martina, who gave up the chance at a career as an opera singer and a loving marriage with a young lieutenant, respectively, to help their father run his religious community. Their father, a charismatic Lutheran pastor, "[thinks] little of marriage and family" and so leaves behind two unmarried daughters and an aging community behind when he dies. Babette comes to Philippa and Martina from a politically unstable Paris, where her husband and son were murdered in the Communard uprising of 1871, and begs the sisters to take her in. Unbeknownst to them, she is the foremost chef in Paris.
In the early hours of April 16, Mr. Jeff Maples visited St. Nektarios Orthodox Church in Charlotte, North Carolina for what he would later call a "Holy Saturday service." Around the same time, I was attending the same service at my own parish, but our observations could not have been more different. In his post about it, Mr. Maples takes issue with any and everything about the Paschal Vigil he attended, starting with the length of the service. He complains that despite having started at 11:30 p.m., there was no sign of slowing down at 2 a.m. In addition, Mr. Maples complains that the smell of incense brought him back to his college dorm days filled with (him or others) "smoking weed and blowing the smoke through toilet paper rolls stuffed with dryer sheets." Neither was the music up to his taste, as he observes that almost everything consisted of "eerie Byzantine chant."
I have long suspected that most Christians who say they want to love their enemies really only want to love some of their enemies. For most Christians, I think, there is a line where loving your enemy stops feeling like a command worth listening to. For students at BC, I think that line is at loving Donald Trump, or loving members of ISIS. I understand that those are two extremely different examples that don't belong in the same group, but just for the sake of relating to a broader political, spectrum I will talk about both.

"I'm done. I don't want to deal with this anymore. I want to just walk away from this work, stress, person, class, situation…" It goes on and on. There seem to be so many things that everyone I know, including myself, want to walk away from. There are countless stresses and anxieties that, after years of being in school, we do not want to put up with any more. It seems to be a cyclical rut that, when we realize all of the stressors, we become even more stressed and feel paralyzed. "What should I do about this paper, exam, friend, etc? What can I do? Why is this all so terrible?" These are just a few of the questions that run through our minds. When I saw a poster for a lecture on "Resiliency and Relaxation: Managing Stress as Students," I pounced at the opportunity to discuss such issues.
May 1st: Decision Day. Around the country this week, thousands of high school seniors will commit to colleges to attend this coming fall. Each anxiously weighs his or her college decision. Financial aid spreadsheets, glossy tour book brochures, and course catalogues litter dining room tables across America. Each student asks, "Finances aside, why should I choose 'X' school over the others? Why is it the best choice for me?"
On Wednesday April 19, coach Jerry York spoke to a room of BC students about the role of Jesuit education in his life. York is college hockey's winningest coach, with over 1,000 wins over the course of his career. He is a triple Eagle, having graduated from Boston College High School in 1963, from Boston College in 1967, and from Boston College's masters program in counseling psychology a few years later. He has won the NCAA Men's Ice Hockey title five times in his career, four as a coach at BC.
We learn from the Gospel of John that harnessing hatred towards others is harmful to ourselves: "But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes" (1 John 2:11). Perhaps no one was challenged to let go of hatred more than Reverend Marcel Uwineza, who told his story at this month's Agape Latte.
On Wednesday April 19 Kate Hennessy, a writer and the youngest of Dorothy Day's nine grandchildren, spoke about her recent biography of her grandmother, Dorothy Day: The World Will Be Saved By Beauty. Subtitled "An Intimate Portrait of My Grandmother", the biography draws on newly discovered letters and diaries, as well as a decades-long series of conversations with Hennessy's mother Tamar, to portray the complex relationship between Day and her only daughter.

On April 20, students sat in Merkert 127 for the Veritas Forum, a seminar that challenges students and faculty to contemplate religious and intellectual matters. MIT professors Ian Hutchinson and Alex Byrne spoke at the discussion entitled "Does Science Point to Atheism?" Professor Byrne spoke in favor of the claim, saying that scientific evidence disproves the existence of God. Professor Hutchinson took the opposite stance, claiming that faith and science are perfectly compatible. The professors presented their arguments in a discussion moderated by Micah Lott, a philosophy professor at BC. As Professor Lott made clear, the forum was not meant to be a debate, but as a discussion to foster intellectual curiosity.
The Promise, a film directed by Terry George and starring Oscar Isaac, Charlotte Le Bon, and Christian Bale, is a love story set during the onset of the Armenian Genocide. Michael Begosian (Oscar Isaac), is an Armenian medical student in Istanbul who falls in love with Ana Khesarian, (Charlotte Le Bon). Khesarian, however, is already in a relationship with Christopher Meyers (Christian Bale), a renowned American journalist. Much of the movie's plot is driven by this love triangle, but the film also does not shy away from addressing the Armenian Genocide.
Like many of my fellow millennials, in the last several months I've become obsessed with Chance the Rappers newest album, Coloring Book. I'm not typically much of a rap person, but I am a Theology major, so a friend of mine recommended the album because he thought I would be interested in the lyrical themes of the album. He was absolutely right. I have been fascinated by the way that Chance combines more typical rap themes ("Drinking All Night") with his deep Christian faith. Chance has discussed his faith extensively in interviews, and was very public about it at the 2017 Grammys as well, where performed segments of "How Great" and "All We Got" complete with a gospel choir, and began his acceptance speech for Best New Artist with this simple invocation "Glory be to God."
This past month, Netflix released a four-part biographical miniseries chronicling the life Pope Francis. Produced by filmmaker Pietro Valsecchi, Call Me Francis was adapted from the critically acclaimed 2015 Italian film Chiamatemi Francesco. Grossing nearly € 3.5 million, the film ranked second in the Italian box office its opening weekend. In 2016, Netflix bought the rights to the film and reworked it into four 50-minute episodes.
The Catholic Church is good at celebrating. After the seemingly-endless forty days of Lent, there comes a parade of feasts; we pack more holidays into twenty-four hours than greeting-card companies can invent arbitrarily. There's a lot going on this time of year. Here's an example: all at once, it can be the Friday of the Octave of Easter and St. Anselm's feast day and the eighth day of the Divine Mercy novena…take a breath when you can!
But it's that last event I'd like to focus on—the Divine Mercy novena. Sunday, April 23, marks the conclusion of this annual prayer. Beginning on Easter, participants recite a Divine Mercy chaplet once a day, offering each devotion to a different group of people. The first day, for example, is dedicated "to all mankind," while subsequent days are focused on more specific groups like priests, unbelievers, and the souls in Purgatory. These devotions (along with the chaplet prayer itself) were given by Christ to St. Faustina Kowalska in a series of visions. You can read about them in her personal diaries.
What exactly is the tradition we Catholics call the Easter Triduum? The Paschal Triduum is at the core of Christianity, as we celebrate the Paschal Mystery: the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Triduum allows the faithful to enter deep within the traditions and mysteries of the Church.
This Catholicism 101 special feature is part two of a debate between the editorial staff of The Torch.

Brentry and Henbury Children's Centre ("BHCC")
Local Offer – September 2017
The Brentry & Henbury Children's Centre provides a range of early education, childcare and support services to families living in our local community. Our primary aim is to provide high quality, child centred care to children aged between 6 months to 5 years of age using the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. The nursery is open from 8.00am to 5.30pm, Monday to Thursday and 8.00am to 5.00pm on Fridays. We also offer a range of community groups alongside our childcare. All children are welcome regardless of ability, disability, race, religion or culture and are all welcome to play, learn, and develop alongside their peers in a stimulating and safe environment.
Our objective is to make an inclusive provision for all children and we support a wide range of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in the following ways:
• A SENCo (Special Educational Needs coordinator). The role of the SENCo involves:
• Ensuring all practitioners in the setting understand their responsibilities to children with SEND and the setting's approach to identifying and meeting SEND;
• Advising and supporting colleagues;
• Ensuring parents are closely involved throughout and that their insights inform action taken by the setting; and
• Liaising with professionals or agencies beyond the setting
• A community support team comprised of individuals trained in a number of specialisms including a therapeutic play specialist and staff trained in supporting children who have experience emotional trauma.
• Staff who have additional training in areas including supporting speech and language development and autistic spectrum condition and who work closely with health professionals including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and educational psychologists.
• A room in our main daycare building (an "Early Inclusion Space") to support dedicated tailored interventions in a distraction free environment.
• The opportunity for parents to attend informal support and social groups, parenting workshops and family trips during the holidays.
• An augmented staff to child ratio in our daycare provision where additional support is required and funding can be secured.
Questions You May Have:
1. How does the education setting know if children need extra help and what should I do if I think my child/young person may have special educational needs?
• A child may come to us with special needs already identified, in which case we will liaise closely with the family and professionals already involved to ensure that appropriate support and training is put in place ready for their arrival.
• The progress and development of all children is monitored regularly by their key person and the room leader, so that when a child is not making expected progress in a particular area of learning, including their emotional development, we can quickly identify the need for additional support. This will always take account of the child's individual circumstances and the wishes of their parents/carers will be at the heart of any steps that are taken.
• If parents/carers have concerns about the progress or well-being of their child, or think their child has SEND, they are encouraged to speak to their key person, room leader, our SENCo or any other member of staff with whom they feel most comfortable. We will discuss their concerns, and agree with them what will happen next.
2. How will the education support my child?
• The environment at BHCC has been developed to support all the children, for example the use of pictures/symbols, timelines and Makaton. Children with SEND will often benefit from these to an even greater extent and may enable them to participate alongside their peers independently.
• When the need for additional intervention has been identified, the parents/carers will be involved in planning the best way to provide that support. If needed, an Individual Education Plan (IEP) will be created, detailing the areas in which the child needs additional support and how that will be delivered.
• Where appropriate, we will involve specialists at the children's centre, for example the speech and language therapist, in deciding the strategies to be used. Where it is felt that additional professional support is required, referrals will be made with the agreement of the parents/carers.
• We will monitor the progress of all children receiving additional support to ensure that the provision we have put in place is having the impact we are expecting.
• The SENCo provides regular reports to the Senior Management Team on the progress of pupils with SEND, and the effectiveness of the provision being provided. This is shared with the Trustees at regular meetings.
3. How will the curriculum be matched to my child's needs?
• All of our planning is based on the interests and needs of the individual children, to which parents/carers are encouraged to contribute. Activities and resources reflect the children's interests to better motivate and support their learning.
• Differentiation is planned for groups and individuals according to need: for example, for a child who has speech, language and communication needs, practitioners will use simplified language, Makaton and/or pictures to support them to understand.
4. How will both you and I know how my child is doing and how will you help me to support my child's learning?
• Regular reports and parents' evenings, spread across the year, give all parents and carers regular feedback on their child's learning and any behavioural, emotional or social strengths or difficulties.
• Parents/carers are encouraged to share their child's interests, achievements and special events along with any concerns that they may have either by talking to a staff member during handover, but contributing to their learning diary or by having a more formal meeting with a relevant staff member (either at their or our suggestion).
• We hold regular events and community groups for parents/carers to come along and find out about what we have been doing and to get ideas about how to support their child's learning.
• If a child has an IEP, parents/carers will be encouraged to support the targets at home. Strategies will be discussed at regular IEP review meetings and second copies of any resources required, for example visuals, will be provided for use outside of nursery. Where outside professionals are involved, they will be asked to attend IEP reviews or to provide feedback on progress and to input into targets and strategies.
5. What support will there be for my child's overall wellbeing?
• The well-being of all of the children is our primary concern. They are supported with their social and emotional development throughout their sessions, both through group activities and by giving them the opportunity and security to share their feelings on a 1:1 basis.
• We believe that providing support to families is at the heart of supporting the children. Through our services we aim to equip parents/carers with the skills and confidence that they need to better support their children to develop and thrive.
• Our Behaviour Policy supports our belief that children flourish best in an ordered environment in which everyone knows what is expected of them and children are free to develop their play and learning without fear of being hurt or hindered by anyone else. The support and strategies we use to manage any challenging behaviour benefit all the children.
• Relevant staff members are trained to support medical needs, and in some cases all staff members receive training. We have an Administration of Medicine Policy in place.
• We endeavour to seek the views of the children in everything that we do and respond to individual needs, for example sensory experiences in the resources and activities provided.
6. What specialist services and expertise are available at or accessed by the education setting?
• We have our own community team to support families which comprises of individuals trained in a number of specialist areas.
• Outside educational agencies and support services that we access include: the Portage and Inclusion Team; Educational Psychology (EPS). We will seek advice and support from other suitable services as and when different needs arise.
• Specialist health services such as Speech and Language Therapy (SALT); Occupational Therapy (OT); Physiotherapy (PT); Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS); other health professionals.
• We work with First Response, Early Help, Social Services and Community Police.
• We have a Therapy Room which provides a nurturing environment where children can develop the necessary social, emotional and behavioural skills needed to successfully access our curriculum.
7. What training are the staff supporting children and young people with SEND had or are having?
• We regularly invest time and money in training our staff to improve provision for all pupils and to develop enhanced skills and knowledge to deliver individualised support and interventions.
• A number of our practitioners hold early years teacher status and all practitioners receive regular training to best support our pupils with SEND, for example in autism and in speech and language needs.
8. How will my child be included in activities outside the classroom including school trips?
• Our Inclusion Policy promotes involvement of all of our children in all aspects of the curriculum including special events, activities and trips.
• Where there are concerns for safety and access, a personalised risk assessment is carried out to consider if reasonable adjustments can be made to meet any additional needs; if appropriate parents/carers are consulted and involved in planning
9. How accessible is the education setting?
• BHCC is fully accessible to all children. Where families are eligible for the Disability Access Fund and nominate us to receive it, the money will be used to make the environment and support more accessible to the child through the purchase of resources or additional staff training.
• We monitor the languages spoken by families in our settings and make use of translation services and endeavour to arrange for a translator to attend meetings when necessary.
10. How will the education setting prepare and support my child to join the setting, transfer to a new setting or the next stage of education and life?
• We have a settling-in process for children starting at our setting, which is tailored to reflect individual needs, circumstances and personalities.
• We have good relationships with the settings that most of our pupils move onto and we share information to support children's well-being at transition. Personalised transition plans are developed for children that will benefit from this additional support which include transition photo albums, additional visits and multi professional meetings.
• Further support is provided as necessary for those with SEND including additional visits to the new setting by the child and parents; visits to our setting by new teachers, and visits to the new setting by our keyworkers where needed.
11. How are the education setting's resources allocated and matched to children's special educational needs?
• Our finances are managed and monitored by our Business Manager, the Senior Management Team and our Board of Trustees and we utilise resources to support the strategic aims of our setting as well as individual learner needs.
• We can apply for additional funding in order to meet their additional needs of children with more complex SEN and Disabilities. This may include obtaining specialist equipment.
• Where a child is eligible for Disabled Access Fund and parents/carers nominate us to receive the payment; we will use the funds to make the setting more accessible for the child through the purchase of equipment or by arranging staff training.
12. How is the decision made about what type and how much support my child will receive?
• We expect all staff to deliver a broad and balanced EYFS curriculum with differentiated learning for children with a range of learning needs. Practitioners will meet the individual needs of all children by delivering personalised learning, development and care.
• Should additional support be required, this is undertaken after consultation with the families, the relevant staff and other professionals as necessary. All interventions are monitored for impact and outcomes are defined at the start of any intervention. The SENCo oversees all additional support and regularly shares updates with the senior management team, who refer to the trustees as appropriate.
13. How are parents involved in the education setting? How can I be involved?
• We are a child and family centred setting, so parents/carers will be involved in all decision making about their child's support.
• We work in partnership with parents to support each child's well-being, learning needs, progress and aspirations.
• We operate an open-door policy to allow parents to contact their child's class key-worker and/or other appropriate staff members with ease.
• Parents are invited to become involved through invitations to events throughout the year, by contributing to their child's learning diary, by sharing interest or skills with their child's class, by becoming a member of the charity or by joining our board of trustees.
• Our community team run groups and classes for families which include giving parents the confidence to support their child's learning at home.
14. Who can I contact for further information?
• Parents/carers are encouraged to talk to the member of staff with whom they feel most comfortable; usually their key-worker in the first instance. For children with SEND, further information and support can be obtained from the SENCo, a member of the Inclusion Team, the room leader or a member of the Management Team.

Are you dying to lose weight, but you just find it hard to stick to an exercise routine or a diet plan because of your schedule? Worry not as you can now try to take supplements that boost your body's metabolism in such a way that, still with effort¸ it will be easier for the user to get rid of the unwanted pounds for good.
Across our research, Dietrine is one of the most famous weight loss supplements that we have discovered. We have taken the time to dig deep and know this supplement more about this famous product. Curious already? Read on.
What is Dietrine?
Dietrine is a well-known carb blocker that helps people to lose weight effectively by blocking too much carbs from being absorbed in the body. Manufactured by Pharmachem Laboratories, this supplement is specially formulated with Phase 2 formula, a derived ingredient from white kidney beans, which effectively decreases the alpha emylase in the body. Alpha Emylase is responsible for processing carbs in the body, and once it is broken down, it becomes absorbed into our system, which is exactly Dietrine' s Phase 2 ingredient prohibits.
The way Dietrine works is simple: as the body intakes carbohydrates, from whatever source, it only limits the number of carbs that is being broken down and absorbed in the body. All the rest is then eliminated during the process from the body. This means that the user will get fewer calorie from whatever they eat. So, if you are a rice or pasta person, you get a good chance to still enjoy the type of meals that you usually eat, without worrying about the pounds adding up on the scale.
- Phase 2 formula – a very popular starch blocker, this ingredient helps you to absorb fewer carbohydrates from food such as rice, bread, potatoes, and corn.
- Chromium – in the right dosages, Chromium helps in regulating blood sugar levels by ensuring that insulin is well transported in the body. According to WebMD, It also helps with the metabolism of carbohydrates and fat.
- Vanadium – this compound is usually used to help people who suffer from Type 2 Diabetes. Some studies also show that it helps athletes in their training and performances. Other uses of this compound have to do with cholesterol and water retention.
Other ingredients, as we got from the website are:
- Gelatin capsule
- Cellulose
- Magnesium stearate
The Good Catch: Pros
- Made of all-natural ingredients
- Does not contain any type of stimulants
- Helps lessen calorie absorption from carbohydrate intake
- Helps lose weight
- Improves metabolic rate
Product Disclaimer: Side Effects
While Dietrine is safely created with naturally occurring ingredients, we want the users to seek professional advice first, before taking this supplement especially if they suffer from any type of medical condition or has a special dietary requirement.
Likewise, if you are pregnant or lactating, or below 18 years of age, we encourage you to use Dietrine as well.
Dosage and Directions for Use
Take Dietrine supplement exactly as stated on the pill bottle.
You can easily purchase Dietrine online through their official website or other third party selling platforms online. However, if you want to get a good deal, we suggest that you purchase directly from their website instead, as they offer free shipping within the US.
They also have a 90-day money-back guarantee as of this writing. This means you get to try out the product with peace of mind because your investment is protected if you are not fully satisfied with the product. Other types of promos are also offered in their official website.
Our Verdict
Dietrine seems to be one of the most promising carb blocker and weight loss supplement in the market today. It uses naturally occurring ingredients, so it means that the body will not have a hard time ingesting the supplement actives. What we really love about this product is that it does not pressure you to eat less, or even to change your diet drastically for that matter. There are also a number of good customer reviews that we saw online, from independent users who actually invested their money in the product. By reducing the carbohydrate absorption naturally, the body then has less chances of developing diabetes or cholesterol-related diseases. Isn't that great? You not only get to lose weight, but you actually get lower chances of getting sick too. Not to mention, your confidence will also improve. The moment you lose weight, your esteem will also come back. Users have actually claimed that as a secondary effect, Dietrine has helped them have more energy for physical activities because they have felt light from losing the unwanted pounds.
Just one thing to note, is that there is a small number of users who experienced an adjustment period from taking Dietrine. This is expected from the shift of carbohydrate intake that the body is used to, that some users felt moody or sluggish.
Nonetheless, if you are finally ready to try a weight loss product, Dietrine will be our top suggestion as it won from us a 4.6 / 5 rating.
We want to be helpful in your journey in choosing the weight loss product for you. Do note, however, your body's reaction may vary from our rating. But if you want to save on time and just get a glimpse of what our Top Weight Loss Products are, below would be a good reference. We have based our ratings on the factors that users consider prior to buying a product, and their overall satisfaction ratings:

text: Have you ever come across people in life who are completely unafraid to be exactly who they are? Meet Kate and Michelle, two women who have nothing but love for each other, yet were unable to marry in their home state of Ohio until just a few months ago. They planned their wedding before the Supreme Court had even ruled that state level bans on same-sex marriage to be unconstitutional. "If not, it'll be a big party," they said. Well the liberty to marry is no longer denied, and what a wedding they had! Hosted by the Crown Point Ecology Center in Bath, Ohio, the venue was perfect for their groovy, tie-dye, peace-and-love themed wedding. Bright, beautiful flowers, colorful glass, tie-dye accents, and miniature Volkswagen busses made this wedding truly unique. Their own Volkswagen bus even acted as a centerpiece for their ceremony, and afterwards, they hopped in and took a lap around the field! It was an amazing, beautiful day bursting with love, and I couldn't be happier for them - congrats, Kate and Michelle!

text: Today we woke up bright and early to catch a 5 am flight to and around Mt. Everest. I have this life goal to someday climb to base camp at Mt. Everest so I was pretty excited to go and be able to see the peak! The plane was very small that took us to the top but it was a breathtaking sight - one that photos never do justice. After our flight we came back to the hotel to get a bit more rest, eat breakfast and get ready for the day. At breakfast I was able to have Yak cheese and it was seriously delicious! I already want more even just thinking about it! The first place we went to in Kathmandu was the Royal Palace. This is the home to the royal family back in 2001 prior to the Royal Family Massacre that turned Nepal's government from a monarchy eventually into a democracy. The massacre happened when one of the princes killed the entire family of 10 and then shot himself in the head. Crazy thing is that this happened within the 21st century! It is still very fresh history here in Nepal. Walking through the palace was a blast from the past. The entire decoration and interior looked like you were walking straight into a home of the 70s. It just kinda shows how little resources they have here in Nepal considering the palace was built in the 70s and never changed after that even going into the 2000's. It was very interesting to see the palace and gave me a little more insight into Nepal's history. After the Royal Palace we visited the Garden of Dreams and oh my goodness it was stunning. The garden is so peaceful and inviting. We stayed in the garden for a bit and ordered drinks to refresh from the busy sightseeing. It started to rain so threw on our rain coats and hurried from the garden to grab one or two more things in Thamel. While we were in Thamel we saw our first Sadhu! I was so excited to see a real and actual Sadhu just sitting and meditating in the rain! It was actually kindof inspiring seeing a life of such non attachment. We headed over to Durbar Square after - a place I have been very excited to see! This square is over 800 years old and sadly was very damaged in the earthquake. Parts of it have been restored but there is still a lot of history in this square. First there is Freak Street, a popular street the hippies paved back in the 70s when they were traveling to Nepal for cheap weed. The hippies set the tone for a big trip on a small budget and thank you to them because that is exactly how Rachael and I are pulling this off. Also in Durbar Square is where the Kumari lives. The Kumari is a living goddess that Hindu's discover while she is around the age of 3. Like the Dalai Lama, the Kumari is reincarnated and is rediscovered by showing 32 markings on her body. Once she is discovered she is put in her temple where she lives and only leaves a few times a year for different festivals and parades. Other than that she sits in her temple where Hindu's are able to come and worship her. From 9-12 and 4-6 everyday she sits by a window every 5 minutes so that tourists can see the Kumari. While she sits at the window everyone has to watch in complete silence and cameras are absolutely forbidden. We were able to see the Kumari that evening. I actually felt really bad for her - when she came to the window you could tell in her eyes she was unhappy. The Kumari lives this lifestyle until she hits puberty and starts her cycle. Once that happens she is considered unclean and a new Kumari is found. For a while too it was believed to be bad luck to marry a Kumari but that belief has since died. Also in Durbar Square we were able to see the largest Hindu temple in Nepal as well as a few more Sadhus, temples and religious practices. There is a lot of diversity, history and tradition in Durbar Square and I loved being able to experience it all. When we got home from Durbar Square Rachael and I threw on our swimsuits and went outside by the pool. We were in the hot tub and had ordered strawberry mint coolers when it started to pour rain again. We just sat in the hot tub, drinking our drinks in the pouring hard rain getting a kick at how crazy our situation was. When you travel in monsoon season you gotta know what you are signing up for! We love Nepal. Today was packed and we are exhausted now heading to bed at 8pm. Namaste! xx,m.

Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder in Context
Title: Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder in Context: a comparison of family perceptions in a high income and low/middle-income country
Problem: Due to very little ASD-related research from low- and middle-income countries we have a limited understanding of the impact of contextual factors on the functioning of individuals with ASD. Knowledge about the role of social and cultural factors on functioning in ASD will help us understand the relationship between genetic and environmental factors better and ultimately enable us to develop and adjust clinical tools and strategies for low-resource settings to better support the majority of individuals living with ASD.
Project: This project will explore the impact of context/environmental factors on the functioning of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in two obviously different socio-economic settings as seen from a family perspective. Perspectives from Sweden as an example of a high-income country (HIC) and South Africa as an example of a low-middle income country (LMIC) will be compared in order to identify similarities and differences between functional themes presented by families in these two obviously different socio-economic settings.
