Why many talented international players won't be drafted by MLS teams
ORLANDO, Fla. - As the Major League Soccer combine took place this week at Orlando City Stadium, the familiar question of "What school is he from?" was replaced by the increasingly necessary "Is he foreign?".
The 2018 MLS draft talent pool is loaded with international players, a product of the growing internationalization of college soccer. With more and more top young Americans reaching the professional ranks via MLS homegrown deals and moves to foreign leagues, college soccer has suffered a drain of top-level local talent and has helped fill that void with an ever-improving caliber of foreign players.

International players are nothing new to the college game, having been a part of the landscape for decades, but the caliber of those players is growing. The 2018 MLS draft pool bears that out, with six of the seven Generation Adidas signings - the draft's top underclassmen - being foreign players, while several of the draft's top seniors are also internationals. For MLS teams, which have a set number of international player slots (eight per team, with variations due to trading of slots), this could be a problem.
"The better [foreign players] will be taken, but to be totally honest there will be some really good players who aren't drafted simply because they're internationals," New York City FC sporting director Claudio Reyna told Goal. "There are some players who could find a spot in the league, but teams aren't ready to use an international slot on them because they're not ready. It certainly puts all the clubs in a tricky situation, and I don't think that's going to go away because more and more kids are coming here from foreign countries like Spain and Germany, and they're good."
Reyna added: "The college game is becoming a pathway for international players, more than before. Take the University of Virginia ... UVA was not that school I remember when I watched them play this year, and seven or eight are internationals."
When Carlos Bocanegra came through the 2000 MLS draft, he was one of 11 Americans selected in the 12-player first round. Now, as Atlanta United's technical director, he sees a much different looking group of prospects preparing for the 2018 MLS draft.
"The landscape is changing. A lot of the good kids coming up through the academies are being signed to a homegrown contract or they're signed to a USL team through the club," Bocanegra told Goal. "It's just the evolution of where we are as a country with this combine and draft."
Bocanegra acknowledges the challenges teams are facing when considering foreign players in the draft, but he also knows firsthand the value that can come from selecting the right international player.
"For me, I like to just look at the top players, and afterwards worry about whether they're foreign or not," Bocanegra said. "With [Julian] Gressel, we thought about it and we had availability with our roster construction. For us, last year he was the most pro-ready guy at that pick, and it ended turning out that he was."
Foreign players in the MLS draft not only have to compete with the other players in the draft, they must also compete with worldwide talent for one of the league's precious 184 international roster spots, many of which are filled with high-priced talent.
"The league and NCAA and everybody needs to think a little more about this part because as more TAM (targeted allocation money) comes in, a lot of it is being used on foreigners, so foreign spots are going to become even more crucial to have," D.C. United coach Ben Olsen told Goal. "Sometimes it's tough to pull the trigger on a foreign college kid because of that.
"That's short-term stuff though," Olsen added. "If you think a [foreign draft pick] can make an impact right away, then it's worth that. If not, maybe you have a USL 2 team and you believe in a year or two they can contribute so they're worth a spot on that roster. There's creative ways to deal with it."
As teams find more success in securing green cards for foreign players and create their own USL affiliates, there are more ways to get the increasing number of foreign players onto MLS rosters. Some teams would like to see the league create more international slots, or even some specific slots for foreign college players. Any such changes would have to be approved by U.S. Soccer, and the climate for such a change - shortly after the United States failed to qualify for the World Cup - isn't a very good one for a shift in policy that would seem to benefit foreign players and hurt Americans.
For now, MLS teams must manage with their eight international slots, which are being made more valuable by an influx of money into league salary coffers. With MLS teams now having upwards of $4 million in targeted allocation money to spend on players, along with the three designated player slots, it's possible for teams to fill all eight of their international roster spots with players who cost $1 million or more in salary. In other words, in some cases foreign draft prospects are not only competing against each other for draft position, they must also indirectly compete with increasingly better prospects on the global transfer market.
"Whenever you're looking at international players here, you're comparing what you see with international players you've gone and looked at," LAFC coach Bob Bradley told Goal. "When you go and look at foreign players, there's in some cases a question mark as to whether you're going to be able to get them. In this particular case, if you're impressed, the business of bringing them here is already finished."
Bradley's LAFC is faced with the tough task of having to decide whether to use the top pick in the 2018 MLS draft on one of the highly-rated foreign players available such as Portuguese defender Joao Moutinho, Ghanaian winger Francis Atuahene or Spanish forward Jon Bakero, select the best-rated American they can like defender Tomas Hilliard-Arce or forward Mason Toye, or potentially trade out of the top spot.
On the surface, it would appear the American player development system needs to do a better job of developing talent in order to have the draft be once again dominated by American talent, as it was for so many years. Several league coaches and general managers don't see things that way, and actually believe that the growing number of top foreign talent in the MLS draft is a positive sign.
"I actually think that it wouldn't be a good thing (to have the draft be filled with Americans) because then it would mean we're not getting the American kids into the pro game at an earlier age to get them in those environments," Bocanegra said. "I think this is a good sign that you're not seeing as many American players in this combine and in the draft because they're going the homegrown and USL route, and they're in that professional environment at an earlier age."

LOS ANGELES — California's 33rd Congressional District is one of the most reliably true-blue liberal districts in the entire country — and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) might just win it.
The district — represented for decades by stalwart liberal icon Henry Waxman before his retirement last year — encompasses a significant chunk of Los Angeles County, stretching south from Rancho Palos Verdes up through tony Santa Monica and Beverly Hills and extending even further north into the celebrity enclaves of Malibu, Calabasas and Agoura Hills.
Of the district's 457,000 registered voters, 43 percent are Democrats and just over 26 percent are Republicans, according to data from the California Secretary of State's office.
But the fact that fewer voters are registered Republicans lends slightly more significant importance to each Republican vote cast in the 33rd. And each vote could be the winning margin in the California GOP's winner-takes-all, three-delegates-per-district system.
Organized left-wing opposition to Trump in the 33rd has both emboldened the billionaire's critics and boosted the resolve of his backers. Last July, hundreds of protesters swarmed the Luxe Hotel in Brentwood while Trump was inside delivering remarks to a group of Hollywood conservatives. And earlier this month, West Hollywood Mayor Lindsey Horvath announced that the New York billionaire would be barred from holding campaign events in the famously liberal city, provoking a protest by Trump supporters.
But Cruz has significant support in the district as well. Like many other Republicans, he has raised large amounts of money from the glitzy district. But unlike most other Republicans, he has also won some high-profile celebrity endorsements to compete with Trump's — including, perhaps, some he would rather not have had. Transgender icon Caitlin (Bruce) Jenner, a self-declared constitutional conservative, offered in March to be Cruz's "trans ambassador."
Away from the spotlight, Cruz may also enjoy strong support from pockets of Republicans who live in the district, who are concentrated in beachfront communities in southwest Los Angeles, such as Rancho Palos Verdes (where Trump owns a golf course).
The limited available California polling data suggest that Cruz tends to do better in communities where Republicans are somewhat competitive, and beachfront Republicans in the state's 66th Assembly district, which overlaps with the southern portion of the 33rd congressional district, recently elected Republican David Hadley to represent them in Sacramento.
That is why Cruz has a chance to win the 33rd district, even though Trump is still favored to capture a comfortable majority of the state's 172 GOP delegates.
The race among Democrats will be close enough itself. Presumptive Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton will be forced to fend off a strong challenge from insurgent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to come away with a majority of the district's seven delegates. (California Democrats, like Republicans, assign delegates by congressional district, but do so on the basis of proportional representation, with varying numbers of delegates at stake per district.)
Breitbart California has previously predicted that Clinton will pick up four delegates to Sanders' three here. That could change, however, as the Vermont senator lost several crucial Northeast primaries this month, including in delegate-rich New York.
Clinton has capitalized masterfully on her relationships with some of the district's most ardent Democrat contributors, including Steven Spielberg, Haim Saban and Jeffrey Katzenberg. Hollywood power couple George and Amal Clooney hosted Clinton at their Studio City home earlier this month for a pricey fundraiser (though the actor insists the money will be spent on down-ballot Democrats).
Sanders, meanwhile, has stuck to more low-key fundraising events, although he has drawn sizable crowds at public rallies in Los Angeles. Sanders' message will resonate in the district's more progressive nooks and crannies, including in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills.
Last week, Sanders opened his first California campaign office in Hollywood — and earlier this month, his campaign began buying what is likely some of the most expensive television advertising in the country in the pricey Los Angeles and San Francisco-area media markets.
Sanders, who has raised records amounts of campaign cash, may be able to afford to match Clinton's spending in what will be crucial advertising buys in the state's most populous media market. And while Clinton largely commands the high-dollar Hollywood checks, the size of Sanders' small-money online donation machine is perhaps unmatched in modern political history.
The Republican battle could be just as fierce. Still, as is the case on the Democrat side, heavy losses for Cruz in earlier Northeast primary states could play a factor, both in CA-33 and across the state. With losses in an additional five primary states on Tuesday, the Texas senator cannot mathematically obtain the 1,237 delegates needed to capture the Republican nomination outright.
Complicating matters even further on the Republican side, Ohio Gov. John Kasich could earn as many as twelve delegates in more moderate districts in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Additionally, recent rumblings suggest that Cruz and Kasich could "team up" to divide the state's 53 congressional districts between them, with an eye toward preventing Trump from reaching the magic number.
Cruz achieved a small but significant coup late Wednesday in announcing former GOP candidate Carly Fiorina as his running mate in the event he is able to secure the Republican nomination. The move allows Cruz to dominate the entire second day of the upcoming California GOP convention, as the Texas senator will now effectively be represented by two speakers instead of one.
Fiorina will also carry Cruz's message throughout her home state — including the 33rd, which will be more competitive than many could otherwise have imagined.

MIDLAND - A Midland Memorial Hospital patient battling a life-threatening facial tumor was unable to get the treatment he needed for five years.
Jerry Roberts, 56, is allocated $700 a month for medical care through Medicaid and has no other form of health insurance.
"The doctors at Midland Memorial are doing so much for him, but everybody else turned us away," said Lon Ashley, his best friend and caretaker.
Roberts was admitted to the hospital Friday, following a suicide attempt.
The cancerous growth on his face began about five years ago as a pimple-like bump inside his nose.
It now covers more than half his face and extends into his mouth and nasal cavities.
Ashley said "dozens of other hospitals and surgeons" they had contacted prior to Midland Memorial "said 'no' because Medicaid doesn't pay them enough."
Their attempts at scheduling appointments through the Medicaid system were all unsuccessful, according to Ashley.
"They sent a list of doctors," he explained. "Well, we called all of them."
At least half a dozen of those physicians reportedly told Roberts they "were not accepting new patients."
He told NewsWest 9 the Medicaid system had also referred him to a retired doctor.
"That doctor had been retired for a full year," said Ashley. "We just don't get our hopes up about anything anymore."
Specialists at Midland Memorial offered to treat Roberts free of charge, but are unable to perform the extensive surgeries he needs to remove the tumor and reconstruct his face.
"We can't find anybody in Texas who will do it with the Medicaid coverage he has," Ashley told NewsWest 9 in a previous interview. "There's a small, religious [treatment center] in Arizona that may be able to do it [under Roberts's insurance plan] but right now, we're just waiting. We can't do anything else."
NewsWest 9 contacted the physician who treated Roberts before he was admitted to Midland Memorial, in addition to specialists who reportedly "turned him away."
None were available for comment.
Their names have not been released by NewsWest 9.
An official donation fund was set up for Jerry Roberts through Chase bank.

Small Style, Christmas Style
As is evidenced by this post, I'm obviously taking a blog vacation. I promised myself a week off between Chrissy and New Year. Buuuuuuuttt, it's Small Style day. And I just can't stay away. I'm like the cat who came back, you know.
ANYWAY, I may be here in body, but not in mind. So don't expect any great things from me, okay?
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, or a great December 25th. As for us, it was quiet, but a nice kind of quiet, and as Christmassy as things can get here in Japan. I mean we had a tree! That in and of itself is a major coup.
Here's out Christmas recap (in photos because words are hard and stuff.)
On CE morning, I randomly found a full size roaster chicken at the super market. The first time in 2.3 years that I have seen such a thing. Another major coup. Obvs I was waaaaaaayyyyy more excited about this fact than Stella. But I roasted up that bad boy and Miss and I ate it ourselves. A Christmas dinner for two. I also made Christmas eve crafts. Because who am I?
And then Stella woke up in the middle of the night for two hours and wanted to play our new favourite game called "wild rumpus time" and Mr. Chef was still not home from work and thus I was left with an excitable baby and no super baby sleep ninja powers. But we won't talk about that. It's Christmas, you guys.
A quiet breakfast of pastries and strawberries followed. Which are seasonal in December in Japan. Prolly the best thing ever.
Stella really cleaned up presents wise, and had more parcels than she knew what to do with. She didn't really get the whole opening gifts thing, and was like "Wut? I just got this awesome truck. Imma no put it down and open something else. No." So, we still had presents to open several days after Christmas. Which, surprisingly for presents obsessed yours truly, was nice.
We spent Christmas day quietly at home, and then had a Christmas afternoon cookie fest and a chilly walk in the park with friends. And it was lovely.
The end.
Stella Wore:
Everything = Tea Collection. Because I am oh so creative.
(We also have a hair situation going on right now, but I'll leave that for next week)
If you feel like saying Merry Chirstmas, how 'bout a vote on the 'ol Top Baby Blogs. Just click below.

The Health Datapalooza holds a special place in my heart. I recall last year walking to the conference hotel with Lilly COI colleagues Barry Crist and Dave Crumbacher, and our attention being drawn to a number of people wearing jackets with brightly colored imagery on their backs. As a comic book fan, it flashed through my mind that the images might be of superheroes. In a way, that's turned out to be true.
In addition to demonstrating the value of open data, applied technology, and applied innovation models, the Datapalooza brings focus on the patient at the center of the healthcare ecosystem.
The litmus test for technology and data innovation is how lives are improved for patients. Connecting with Casey Quinlan, Kim Martin, Erin Gilmer, Regina Holliday and others in the Walking Gallery at this year's Datapalooza helps to keep the patient's story top of mind.
What is Health Datapalooza?
Health DataPalooza's primary mission is to unleash the power of open health data with the help of technologists and data professionals. The notion of open data is fundamental to us at Lilly COI. Adding value to ClinicalTrials.gov by making it more easy to search, and developing other open sources to improve drug development is a big part of what we're about.
Heath Datapalooza's origins are rooted in the Health Data Initiative, initially a partnership of the non-profit Institute of Medicine and US Department of Health and Human Services. Over time, the Health Data Consortium (HDC) emerged as public-private partnership with a mission focused on health data collaboration and innovation.
Dwayne Spradlin, formerly of Innocentive is now the CEO of the HDC. An experienced innovator, Dwayne will shepherd HDC towards their vision with grace, humility and the necessary collaborative spirit. It's no surprise that the Challenge Series has been introduced as a means for HDC to facilitate innovation in healthcare.
Pharma Industry Participation
Last year, pharma industry presence at the Datapalooza was scarce. This year saw an increased presence, with more indications that pharma is participating, innovating and providing value to patients in an increasingly more open healthcare ecosystem. The trend is heading in the right direction, but there's plenty more work to be done.
It was encouraging to see several new ideas where pharma is working to improve clinical trials and the patient experience. Here are just a few:
1. Devices to make it easy for patients to take, track and communicate dosing can have a huge impact on a patient's clinical trial experience. This year's inaugural Challenge Series had Sanofi sponsoring the Data Design Diabetes challenge, focused on "combating diabetes by integrating open data with human-centered design." One of the finalists was common sensing, who submitted GoCap.
The GoCap is a connected pen cap that automatically logs insulin dose amounts and times, and communicates wirelessly to a mobile phone or connected glucometer. GoCap could improve the patient clinical trial experience, drive better protocol adherence, and improve data capture & management by automatically transferring data without human intervention.
Common Sensing - GoCap from Data Design Diabetes on Vimeo.
2. Craig Lipset announced a Pfizer pilot project to provide Blue Button access to clinical trial participants. Blue Button is an initiative and web technology that allows patients to access their electronic health records. Within the clinical trial space, Blue Button will allow participants to download their individual data from the study in which they participated. Patients can use this data at their discretion.
3. Strides are being made in coordinating clinical trial information through Linked Data techniques. Many health care organization struggle with relating the outcomes of already existing data (e.g. clinical trials) to their own research. A panel discussion featuring AstraZeneca's Principal Informatics Scientist Tom Plaster and representatives from tech companies 3 Round Stones and Ontopro, showcased how semantic web applications can be used to foster "cooperation without coordination."
Healthcare needs not only innovation, but also transformation. When I look back to last year's conference I can definitely see the trend toward transformation occurring. I'm looking forward to continuing the conservations we started this year about ways we can transform the clinical trial process with a patient-centric focus.

AIM: The aim of the 'Gentleness' Fruit of the Spirit Childrens Lesson (Galatians 6) is to show children what it means to be gentle and how we can be gentle in our everyday life.
- 'Fruit of the Spirit' by Go Fish Guys
- 'Fruit of the Spirit'
- 'Fruit of the Spirit'
- 'Fruit of the Spirit' by KidSpring
- 'Scripture Snacks – Fruits of the Spirit'
BIG VERSE: Be kind and compassionate to one another. Ephesians 4:32
SET the Scene:
Read about how Jesus died on the cross in Matthew 27:45-54. You could act out the scene or show one of the videos below to reinforce the passage.
- 'Animated Easter Story'
- 'Jesus Christ: Anime of His Last Day'
- 'Beginners Bible Resurrection Story'
- 'The Death of Jesus'
- 'Easter Week Jelly Telly Devotional' (needs editing)
- 'Lego Easter Story'
SPOT the Simple Meaning:
You will need the Water wheel video.
Say: Gentleness means power under control; look at this clip of a water fall. There is so much power in that water, but the waterfall brings it all under control for a purpose. We all have power; in our arms, legs and especially our mouths! We can choose how to use that power; to hit and fight or to love and give. When we choose to love then we choose to bring our power under control instead of using it for our own means. That's just like Jesus!
He had all the power in the Universe… yet He chose to go to the cross because He loved us all that much! He could have sent His angels to save Him, but He chose to go through all that pain so that we could no God. He chose not to use His power for himself, but to control it so that we could be His friends.
You will need pictures of animals holding their babies in their teeth (just google them: lions or tigers with cubs in their mouths). You could also use a clip of the Beast becoming more gentle in the movie clip from 'Beauty and the Beast'
Say: Put your hand up if you thing lions, tigers, crocodiles are all pretty fierce animals? Quite powerful aren't they? And maybe a bit scary if you were on your own in front of one! But you know they can also be very gentle! Yep a gentle tiger, a gentle lion, a gentle crocodile! Sounds like a contradiction doesn't it? That means that being gentle sounds like the opposite to those animals, but it's true! Look what these animals are like with their babies…(show pictures) These scary, powerful animals can be so gentle that they can hold their babies in their mouths without hurting them! They have to be gentle so they don't hurt their babies. It's the same with us. God wants us to be gentle so we won't hurt others.
Brother and sister skit: Improvise a skit where two leaders act as two children. The children are fighting over who plays with a toy/games console. The fighting gets out of hand and somebody gets hurt.
Say: Sometimes we need to have gentleness with those that we love and think of them before ourselves, that can be really tough- the only way we can have true gentleness is to ask God to help us. It is really easy to forget about being gentle when we want something or we want our own way. If we are going to be gentle then we must decide not to turn to violence, but to try to think of the other person. If we struggle with anger we can ask God to help us – and we can ask adults to help us too!
Being gentle takes some learning. Yet the Holy Spirit will help us to be gentle if we ask Him.
Shall we pray? (pray with them)
SEARCH the Scriptures:
Write out these passages and tape them to bricks in a Jenga game. Choose two players to play Jenga. They must gently try and take the bricks out of the Jenga tower without toppling the tower over. The child with the most bible verses at the end of the game is the winner. Read out the bible verses and discuss them in small groups.
Bible verses about Gentleness:
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Philippians 4:5.
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1.
To speak no evil about anyone, to live in peace with all, to be gentle and polite to all people. Titus 3:2.
But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect. 1 Peter 3:15.
Brothers, someone in your group might do something wrong. You who are spiritual should go to him and help make him right again. You should do this in a gentle way. But be careful! You might be tempted to sin, too. Help each other with your troubles. When you do this, you truly obey the law of Christ. If anyone thinks that he is important when he is really not important, he is only fooling himself.. Galatians 6:1-3.
Accept my work and learn from me. I am gentle and humble in spirit. And you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:29.
You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your gentleness made me great. 2 Samuel 22:36.
But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. 1 Timothy 6:11.
- Is it weak to be gentle? Why/why not?
- Is it difficult to be gentle? Why/why not?
- How was Jesus gentle?
- How can you be gentle towards others?
SENSE How You Feel:
Why do you think Jesus was gentle towards others when he had so much strength?
How does it feel to hold back when you are strong?
- Play the team game 'Sticky Spaghetti Tower' where children must try and build a tower out of dry spaghetti and marshmallows. Children must learn to be gentle to prevent them from breaking the spaghetti and the tower.
- Play the game 'Pick Up Sticks' and think about what it means to be gentle.
- Colour in the 'Gentleness' colouring sheet by ministry-to-children.com
- You could bring some pets for children to stroke and play with – and learn to be gentle with!
- Create a picture with different fabrics and textures that children can touch to remind them to be gentle.
SEEK God:
Hand each child a small pebble that they can hold (You could even draw a picture on them beforehand to create a pet rock). Remind them that being gentle takes care and attention. Encourage them to pray and ask for God's help for them to be gentle.
Lord, sometimes I forget to be gentle. Please help me to think of other people's feelings as well as my own. Help me to be gentle, just as You are gentle towards me. Amen.

favourite necklace
For Christmas my mom gave me the most amazing necklace. I am pretty picky when it comes to jewelry but my mom seriously nailed it with this piece. On a chunky, vintage-looking chain hangs a wire wrapped stone with a bell shaped pendant on the end. These three things alone would have been awesome BUT it gets better. The bell shaped pendant opens at the top and lets you put secret messages or special little treasures! I think it's the best creation and so funky looking!

Let's Talk About this Eminent Domain Thing…
You may have heard this term brought up lately in the local news. The owner of a building in downtown Omaha, located on 18th and Howard is being forced to sell his building to the city. The County Board made the decision to use Eminent Domain to force the sale of building so they can demolish it to make way for a $120M juvenile justice center. Eminent Domain is the right of a government or its agent to expropriate private property for public use, with payment of compensation. Its use in this case has been widely talked about for a few reasons. One being that downtown architecture is considered precious by Omahans and it can't be regained once destroyed. Secondly, the building owner plans to sue over the issue. He was initially offered $900K by the city for the property and turned it down. Eminent Domain has now made the building available for purchase at almost half that amount, as assessed by the County Assessor's Office. And lastly, there is the consideration of the new structure being built elsewhere, leaving this man's property and an Omaha gem in tact.

NESAD Foundation Student Show
Come See NESAD Foundation Student Work!
The first year of NESAD looks a lot like taking English 101 for first year students in the Business school. Students take Drawing 1 and Drawing 2 to learn and practice the fundamentals. They also take 3-Dimensional and 2-Dimensional Design to learn basic composition, color theory, introductory Photoshop skills and many more of the things they need to succeed in their intended majors. All of this hard work culminates into the Foundation Student Show. Any first year student can enter their work from any foundation class. The work is then juried and chosen for the show by the professors who teach those courses. Every year we get to showcase the amazing talents of the incoming class in our gallery and enjoy the incredible artwork they have produced. Snacks and beverages are also provided!
Thursday, March 3rd - Reception at 5:30pm
December 2017

Malachi 2:3
Bible Rank: 2,149
New International Version
1 "And now, you priests, this warning is for you."
2 If you do not listen, and if you do not resolve to honor my name," says the LORD Almighty, "I will send a curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not resolved to honor me.
3 "Because of you I will rebuke your descendants; I will smear on your faces the dung from your festival sacrifices, and you will be carried off with it."
4 And you will know that I have sent you this warning so that my covenant with Levi may continue," says the LORD Almighty."
5 "My covenant was with him, a covenant of life and peace, and I gave them to him; this called for reverence and he revered me and stood in awe of my name."
6 True instruction was in his mouth and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many from sin.
7 "For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty and people seek instruction from his mouth."
8 But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi," says the LORD Almighty."
9 "So I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people, because you have not followed my ways but have shown partiality in matters of the law."
10 Do we not all have one Father? Did not one God create us? Why do we profane the covenant of our ancestors by being unfaithful to one another?
11 Judah has been unfaithful. A detestable thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem: Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the LORD loves by marrying women who worship a foreign god.
12 If anyone does this, whoever he may be, may the LORD remove him from the tents of Jacob – even though he brings an offering to the LORD Almighty.
13 Another thing you do: You flood the LORD's altar with tears. You weep and wail because he no longer looks with favor on your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands.
14 You ask, "Why?" It is because the LORD is the witness between you and the wife of your youth. You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.
15 Has not the LORD made the two of you one? You belong to him in body and spirit. And why has he made you one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth.
Amplified Bible
1 AND NOW, O you priests, this commandment is for you.
2 If you will not hear and if you will not lay it to heart to give glory to My name, says the Lord of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yes, I have already turned them to curses because you do not lay it to heart.
3 Behold, I will rebuke your seed [grain--which will prevent due harvest], and I will spread the dung from the festival offerings upon your faces, and you shall be taken away with it.
4 And you shall know, recognize, and understand that I have sent this [new] decree to you priests, to be My [new] covenant with Levi [the priestly tribe], says the Lord of hosts.
5 My covenant [on My part with Levi] was to give him life and peace, because [on his part] of the [reverent and worshipful] fear with which [the priests] would revere Me and stand in awe of My name.
6 The law of truth was in [Levi's] mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips; he walked with Me in peace and uprightness and turned many away from iniquity.
7 For the priest's lips should guard and keep pure the knowledge [of My law], and the people should seek (inquire for and require) instruction at his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
8 But you have turned aside out of the way; you have caused many to stumble by your instruction [in the law]; you have corrupted the covenant of Levi [with Me], says the Lord of hosts.
9 Therefore have I also made you despised and abased before all the people, inasmuch as you have not kept My ways but have shown favoritism to persons in your administration of the law [of God].
10 Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us? Why then do we deal faithlessly and treacherously each against his brother, profaning the covenant of [God with] our fathers?
11 Judah has been faithless and dealt treacherously, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah [that is, Jewish men] has profaned the holy sanctuary of the Lord which He loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god [having divorced his Jewish wife]. [Ezra 9:2; Jer. 2:3.]
12 The Lord will cast out of the tents of Jacob to the last man those who do this [evil thing], the master and the servant [or the pupil] alike, even him who brings an offering to the Lord of hosts.
13 And this you do with double guilt; you cover the altar of the Lord with tears [shed by your unoffending wives, divorced by you that you might take heathen wives], and with [your own] weeping and crying out because the Lord does not regard your offering any more or accept it with favor at your hand.
14 Yet you ask, Why does He reject it? Because the Lord was witness [to the covenant made at your marriage] between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously and to whom you were faithless. Yet she is your companion and the wife of your covenant [made by your marriage vows].
15 And did not God make [you and your wife] one [flesh]? Did not One make you and preserve your spirit alive? And why [did God make you two] one? Because He sought a godly offspring [from your union]. Therefore take heed to yourselves, and let no one deal treacherously and be faithless to the wife of his youth.
King James Version
1 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.
2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
4 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
11 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
12 The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
13 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Becoming a Christian
Would you like to experience forgiveness and new life from the God of the Bible, who calls every person to believe that he sent his son Jesus Christ to make this possible?
The Bible explains why everyone needs to receive forgiveness and is called to serve Jesus Christ. The consistency of the Bible story, which was authored by people living thousands of years apart from diverse cultures and even different languages, is often cited as evidence of divine inspiration. Wikipedia has a list of many Biblical prophesies which have come true.
The story of God's plan to restore his relationship with us can be summarised in eight famous Bible verses below.
- In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:1
- All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:23
- God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
- Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
John 14:6
- If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9
- For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
Ephesians 2:8
- But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
Acts 1:8
- Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19
The truth in these verses is simple, yet to embrace it means letting go of all our personal hopes and dreams and embracing God's greater purpose for our lives instead, a purpose far above anything we could dream or imagine.
This is the most important decision you will ever make, because it affects not just the rest of your life here on earth, but what comes after as well. Don't put it off until too late. If you died tonight make the decision to spend eternity with your loving Father in Heaven.

How to do a Vitamin C Flush (Perque directions)
• A healthy person begins with a level half-teaspoon dissolved in 1-2 ounces of water or diluted juice every 15 minutes.
• A moderately healthy person begins with 1 teaspoon every 15 minutes.
• A person in ill health begins with 2 teaspoons every 15 minutes.
• If after four doses the re is no gurgling or rumbling in the gut, you should double the initial dosageand continue every 15 minutes.
Continue with these instructions at the proper time intervals until you reach a watery stool or an enema-like evacuation of liquid from the rectum. This is as if a quart or so of liquid is expressed from the rectum. CAUTION : Do not stop at loose stool. You want to energize the body to "flush out" toxins and reduce the risk that they may recirculate and induce problems. At this time, stop consuming the buffered ascorbate for the day. HOWEVER, if your calibration dosage is more than 50 grams of vitamin C, you should consume a dosage of vitamin C of at least 10% of the total l-ascorbate need to induce the l-ascorbate calibration "flush" in the later afternoon or evening. Many people find that preparing a "batch" of ascorbate allows for easier, more timely consumption of the beverage rather than making up a new batch at each interval. Example: 30 grams (10 teaspoons) may be dissolved in 10-20 ounces of liquid. If this method is chosen, we recommend using a capped, dark bottle to avoid air or light (photo-) oxidation of the ascorbate. Dissolved ascorbate is stable for a day if kept cool or cold and tightly sealed.
Changing Ascorbate Need
As you become healthier, the ascorbate is used more efficiently and is better conserved in your body and less ascorbate will be needed to achieve the desired effect. As your need for ascorbate decreases, you may notice loosening of the stool indicating that your body is consuming ascorbate more efficiently and your need has decreased. That is the time to taper ascorbate intake. As you become familiar with your body's responses, your need for and best timing of ascorbate is likely to become clear through direct experience with this protocol.
Daily Consumption of Ascorbate after Calibration (C Cleanse )
Between calibrations, consume 75% of the total ascorbate you need to induce the flush. You may use ascorbate as a liquid, tablet, or a capsule taking two to four or more doses per day. The usual sufficiency need for a person in a state of good health is 2-10 grams/day.
Outcome of Ascorbate Flush
Many people report a subjective sense of improved well-being after the completion of an ascorbate calibration. This may be of short duration, initially, but is a promising sign for long-term improvement. As toxins are eliminated from the body and as it is energized through the action of the ascorbate, you should feel progressively better for longer periods of time.
Repeat of Ascorbate Calibration
For most rapid progress, once per week is recommended. You select the frequency that meets your needs. Repair deficits increase ascorbate needs over time until a consistent dose of vitamin C is maintained. Discuss with your practitioner the right frequency for you.

It's official. Olive has broken my brain.
Instagram is loony. Who are these women with the babies and the black floppy hats? They have such clean homes. They have such BIG homes. Who knew there were so many shabby-chic restored farmhouses out there. Who knew there were young families who could afford to live in them. Who are these people? Have you ever met any in real life? They all have about seven children, each neatly six inches shorter than the other (I know this because they make a habit out of posing them standing shoulder to shoulder against the white, white walls of the farmhouses) as if they've been reproducing once every year, like clockwork.
Who are these people who dress their children like little gnomes? Always, always like little gnomes! Peaked hats. Bonnets. Tights on tights on tights. Wooden shoes. On an infant! Have you ever met one of these people in person? I'm not saying I wouldn't like to. In fact I would. I'd have so many questions for them.
Who are you and what do you do that you can afford the farmhouse and a continual stream of small gnome costumes? I've looked up the little knitwear. Those suits don't come cheap. Do you knit them yourselves? Do you knit the chunky wool blankets you lay them on as you drip-feed your succulents?
Back to Olive, and how she's broken my brain like an egg on the floor. Here I have the world's easiest baby and still I'm reduced to a human scrambled egg. Olive neither cries nor fusses. She's got a big wide face and she just shines. A ring of stars circle around her head as if she's a cartoon character who got hit with a hammer. Olive is a joyful, chewy little thing. But do you know why I had a meltdown yesterday and was almost, nearly, but not quite, reduced to tears?
Because her dad ate my pancake. Not a metaphor. He made me a stack of pancakes in the morning but I couldn't get around to eating them all because it is impossible to focus on anything longer than 30 seconds. I left the plate on the table and five hours later he asked if he could finish my pancakes. I said no. Five hours after that, he ate them anyway.
This seemed no good to me. I stomped my foot- I actually stomped my foot!- and I tugged my sweater up over my head. Dave offered to make me brand new pancakes, a fresh stack. Can you believe the audacity! But I didn't want new pancakes, I wanted the old ones, the ones that had been aging in syrup for ten hours, the ones that seemed to have transformed over the course of the day from simple breakfast cake to analogy of my entire life.
I can't finish my breakfast, or my thoughts, I can't keep the house in order, or manage to use the same cup for water for just one day and so the counters are always cluttered, and all my teachers from kindergarten through eleventh grade saw so much potential in me and I've squandered it all. I was so smart and I've wasted it all. Why not twelfth grade? Because I graduated high school a year early. See? Smart. Peaked early. Wasted.
I'm not actually too concerned about this all. I wasn't too concerned about the pancake, really, it's just that sleep deprivation makes toddlers of us all.
I am so sorry. I must be a monster to be around. Olive can wriggle across the whole bed in her swaddle now, like some sort of jumping bean. We took her arms out of the swaddle and she can drag her whole body. She slithers. It's like watching evolution. I have a short fuse. I sulk.
And then these women! On Instagram! The gnome mothers. They speak through letterboards now. Are they sleeping? At all ? When? Do they nap with the babies and if so, who is looking after the other six? The cacti? Are they on speed? Did they find their speed on the internet- the dark internet? Could they post a link I'M KIDDING. They're not doing anything illicit, it's just that they drink matcha and smoothies all day long. They're constantly recording themselves drinking matcha and smoothies all day long!
My baby's favorite thing to do in the whole world is to be naked and hug her plush shark. Often she'll pee.
I love her so much. I'll never be a gnome mom clever-letterboarding through my matcha days. Ever. I'm a scrambled egg brain for life.
Unless I get some sleep tonight.
Then I'm going to turn this thing around.
I swear.

Only use with Z23L Xiaomi Yi, the Z23S is not compatible due to shorter thread.
The Brahma Duo Slim is designed to be a small and light 360 camera that uses two 220 degree fish eye lenses. It is not going to give a 4K output which is standard for VR headsets, however, we get an output of around 2160x1070 roughly, sometimes a little lower or higher depending on the stiching. The results can be used in VR headsets and are not bad, but 4K is really needed and if this is what you want then please look at the Brahma6. That being said this rig makes a great camera setup for Facebook and Youtube 360 videos where the resolution and quality is great. We just want you to be aware, look at the sample videos which will grow over time to see the results you can achieve.
This is the Slim version for people wanting the cameras closer together for stitching reasons. My experience is that the standa Brahma Duo is better but this is here for those who prefer this model. Please note the battery pack is not compatible and the USB cables cannot be fitted.
Lens fitting
This is something that to be honest is not simple, and we are able to supply a fully built system which will be linked to here shortly. We will have a video showing how to fit the lenses below but this will invalidate your camera warranty and if you do not do it correctly could ruin the camera, just saying. If you are going to attempt it, you need good eyes and a steady hand.

A truly collaborative project that was a real learning experience for everyone involved, the repetitive tile project began as an abstract study of natural forms and an ode to the master Architect Louis Sullivan. Sullivan, former mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright, designed beautiful ornamental terra cotta tiles that decorated his buildings' exteriors and interiors.
As a side project, Architect Duncan Nicholson assigned the conceptual design work as a collaborative learning exercise for intern Merlin Andrews. Using mathematical formulas, including fractal geometry, to inform a 2d design, it was then modified by Kris Conner to develop repetitive tile pattern.
To bring this design into physical form Duncan contacted friend and fabricator extraordinaire Rives Rash III. Rives' shop was able to extrude the 2d design into a 3d milled foam positive of the design.
With assistance from Rives, James Perry was able to create a negative rubber mold of the positive foam tile. Years of experience with plaster during school at the University of Texas at Arlington working at the wood and model shop for manager Jeff Whatley allowed James to pour a series of plaster tiles with consistent quality and beauty.
Ready for installation, Duncan Nicholson selected to install the first series of tiles behind his desk on a wall in his office. He contacted master stone and tile contractor Mike Diona of Diona Marble to install the tiles and the installation came out flawlessly.
For more information about ordering this plaster design or getting your own custom design by Conner and Perry Architects contact us here.

Corporal Work of Mercy: Care for the Sick
Sept 9th 1-6:30 pm Parish Hall
BLOOD DRIVE: WE NEED DONORS! Be a "LIFE SAVER
Either sign up to make a reservation for yourself to give blood or walk in! Ascension does this 4 times a year and we have one of the BEST records!!!(Reserve an appointment to give!
Please make sure to eat, be well hydrated and bring identification with photo or signature.
Why Give Blood? Community Blood Center must collect almost 600 units of blood daily to meet the needs of area hospital patients. As there is no substitute for blood, we rely on volunteer donors like you to supply the life-saving blood and blood components to hospitals in Kansas and Missouri.
Making an appointment is easy! Simply click here and follow the steps below.
To donate blood you must be at least 16 years old, weigh 110 lbs and be in good health. Donors age 16-18 are also subject to additional height/weight restrictions. For questions regarding medical eligibility to donate blood, please call 1-800-688-0900.
How do we respond to the blessings God has bestowed on us?
How do we deal responsibly with the gifts God has given us? To think only of ourselves is to squander our lives. But to respond gratefully means we praise God with our lips and our actions. To respond gratefully is to realize that all of life is God's, and we are called to care for it and share it.
With these thoughts, we ask you to consider giving so that others may live.
A 2007 University of Minnesota study estimated that about one third of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood. However, the number of people who actually choose to donate is far fewer. Currently, the Kansas City-based Community Blood Center, which provides seventy area hospitals with 3,600 units of blood each week, describes its supply as critical; meaning the supply for hospitals and patients is stretched thin. This limits elective surgery and can postpone life saving treatments.
One seventh of hospital patients will require a blood transfusion. Patients undergoing organ transplants, anemic patients, some patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment, premature infants, and patients who have lost blood due to injuries all need blood donations, and blood donors, to survive.
Compared to the massive benefits that result from giving blood, the actual process is easy. After filling out medical paperwork, prospective donors meet with staff to undergo a brief physical exam. If the donor is eligible, the period where blood is extracted takes about ten minutes. Afterwards, donors can sit, rest, eat snacks and rehydrate.
Please click the link below to view available times and to schedule your blood donation appointment. Or mark your calendar and just "walk in!" (To sign up I put in the date and Church of the Ascension, but I had to search for it)
You can register to be a potential bone marrow donor: Info on Bone marrow donation. Can you imagine how AWESOME it would be to be the donor of bone marrow and save a kid or adult from dying from leukemia?
OR you can give the gift of life—organ and tissue donation. To read some facts: click here: Donate organs For more information on how you can be listed on the state donor registry, call Midwest Transplant Network at 913-262-1668 or 1-888-744-4531, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
Every major religion in the US supports organ, eye, and tissue donation as one of the highest expressions of compassion and generosity. Donation allows you the opportunity to give someone the hope of restored health, sight, and mobility. Consider giving that hope to the more than 120,000 people in need of lifesaving organ transplants and the hundreds of thousands more in need of corneas and tissue.
On average, a single organ or tissue donor can save or enhance the lives of up to 50 people.
Approximately 28,052 patients began new lives last year thanks to organ transplants.
Almost two thirds of all living donors are relatives of their recipient, most commonly siblings.
The number of unrelated living donors has more than tripled since 1998.
To learn more about living donation visit click here
People of all ages and medical histories should consider themselves potential donors. Your medical condition at the time of death will determine what organs and tissue can be donated.
90% of Americans say they support donation, but only 30% know the essential steps to take to be a donor.

3.12 - "Garden-Fresh Cooking" Feat. @ABeautifulNest
Today's episode features @abeautifulnestTV, talking all about the book "Garden Fresh Cooking" by Judith Benn Hurley, and it'll leave you longing for summertime! We're infusing harvest-time healthy foods into our everyday menus.
Today's episode of Bri Books will leave you longing for the sweet peaches and leafy greens of summertime gardens! Inspired by the book "Garden-Fresh Cooking" by Rodale's, Sandria of the YouTube channel and platform "ABeautifulNestTV" shares the story behind what prompted this city girl (with soil in her veins) to move to the Georgia countryside, buy land, and start growing her family's food.
The #BriBooks: "Rodale's Garden Fresh Cooking" by Judith Benn Hurley inspired me to chat with Sandria about how she prepares garden-fresh food for her family. Reading "Garden Fresh Cooking" reminded me of the simple flavors of so many of the fruits and veggies I love to eat. The book is segmented into chapters about nearly two dozen crops: Green beans, beets, cabbage, carrots, corn, cucumbers onions, peas, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, zucchini, apples, grapes, peaches, pears, strawberries and raspberries .
I stumbled upon Sandria's YouTube channel in early 2017 while searching for gardening tips. I was so grateful to find myself screen-to-face with such an encouraging, resourceful, ambitious, eternity-minded woman! @abeautifulnest is passionate about making her house a home, and the same goes for making her PLATE a RAINBOW! After watching loved ones fall ill and pass away due to health-related illnesses, she decided to take start growing her family's food.
In this episode:
Brionna's "grandmother story," and the magic of grandmothers
How and why Sandria decided to start growing her family's food
The easiest crops you (yes, YOU!) can grow this spring
How Sandria's family has changed since growing her own food.
Sandria on Rodale's: I've been reading Rodale's Organic Life for a long time, and I really enjoy it. I love that they have so many different topics for you to dig into--food, gardening, lifestyle. Everything's right there for you. It's a great site. If you're reading the recipe book, I know that's amazing."
