"This is a very significant juncture in Pandora's journey," said founder and CEO Tim Westergren, adding that the moves give his company "the flexibility we need to attack what is becoming a larger and larger opportunity as digital music enters a new golden age." The investment, in exchange for a 19% stake, comes after the companies reportedly had been in talks about an outright acquisition by Sirius XM. Sirius XM said the new deal will "allow Pandora to make targeted investments and capitalize on opportunities to build on its position in the streaming radio business." Pandora in May reached a deal to receive a $150 million investment from KKR, but announced on Thursday it had decided to put the deal on hold while it explored interest from another potential investor. The Ticketfly sale price includes $150 million in cash and a $50 million note payable to Pandora. In connection with the closing, expected to occur by the end of September, Pandora and Eventbrite expect to enter into a deal allowing Pandora to "substantially broaden the scale" of its ticketing opportunities. http://www.pandora.com http://investor.pandora.com/file/Index?KeyFile=2000956102 http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/siriusxm-to-make-480-million-strategic-investment-in-pandora-300471595.html _____________________________________________ o San Jose, San Francisco Rank as Nation's Top Two Tech Cities in New Report San Francisco -- San Jose and San Francisco rank as the nation's top two tech markets, according to a new report by commercial real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield. The firm determined its top 25 tech cities by analyzing factors such as talent, capital and growth opportunity. Washington, DC; Boston and Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, N.C. rounded out the top five, with Oakland/East Bay coming in at No. 13. Robert Sammons, the report's San Francisco-based co-author, said that while it was not surprising to see San Jose and San Francisco continue to dominate, mass-transit issues and escalating housing costs in those areas have fanned a tech spillover into secondary markets such as Austin (No. 7), Denver (No. 8), San Diego (No. 9) and Salt Lake City (No. 24). Complete details are at the links below. http://www.cushmanwakefield.com/en/research-and-insight/2017/tech-cities-report/ http://www.cushmanwakefield.com/en/news/2017/06/cushman-wakefield-launches-inaugural-tech-cities-us-report/ _____________________________________________ o Report: DDoS Attack Frequency Increased 380% in First Quarter San Francisco -- The frequency of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks spiked 380% during the first quarter, compared with the same period in 2016, according to a new report by San Francisco-based Nexusguard. All told, the company measured more than 16,600 attacks, including hours- and days-long attacks over Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year and other typically quiet periods. In addition, the company said it saw a 147% jump in HTTP Flood attacks, targeting the application layer and overtaking TCP, DNS and other popular volumetric attacks in popularity. Nexusguard said the increased adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) has provided a wealth of new targets for hackers. "IoT botnets are only the beginning for this new reign of cyberattacks," said Juniman Kasman, the company's chief technology officer (CTO). "Hackers have the scale to conduct gigantic, continuous attacks. Plus, teams have to contend with attacks that use a combination of volumetric and application aspects." The full report is available through the link below. https://news.nexusguard.com/2017q1-ddos-threat-report-press-release _____________________________________________ o Semiconductor Industry Posts Highest Sales Increase in Seven Years Washington, DC -- In the market's largest year-to-year increase in seven years, global sales of semiconductors spikes nearly 21% in April to $31.3 billion, according to new figures from the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). The figure also jumped more than 1% from just last month. "The global semiconductor market has grown at an impressive rate through the beginning of 2017," said John Neuffer, president and CEO of the SIA. "Although driven in part by tremendous growth in the memory market, sales of non-memory products also grew by double digits in April, and all major regional markets posted substantial year-to-year gains." Additionally, a forecast by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization now projects annual global market growth of 11.5% in 2017 and 2.7% in 2018, followed by a slight decrease in 2019. https://www.semiconductors.org/news/2017/06/06/global_sales_report_2017 /global_semiconductor_sales_increase_21_percent_year_to_year_in_april_ double_digit_annual_growth_projected_for_2017/ _____________________________________________ o Study: Majority of People Can't Unplug While on Vacation Santa Clara, Calif. -- Despite the benefits of digital detox, most people simply can't unplug while on vacation, according to a new study by McAfee. More than half of survey respondents said they can't last a full day without using their device for texting, spend at least one hour a day with Internet-connected devices while on vacation and even go on vacation with the intent to stay connected and not unplug. Still, while many individuals said they didn't intend to unplug while traveling, those that did (43%) reported a much more enjoyable experience (81%). For those who do plan to use their devices on vacation, McAfee offers several tips. The company says to avoid using public or unsecured Wi-Fi networks, keep mobile operating systems and applications updated, install device security tools and use apps that help find and lock devices in the event of a theft or loss. https://www.mcafee.com http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170606006703/en/McAfee-Study-Reveals-Consumers-Prioritize-Convenience-Security _____________________________________________ |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| > 13 Workplace Communication Tips Today's Young People Need to Know Texting- and social media-obsessed Millennials aren't always prepared to navigate the business world, which primarily "runs" on email and face-to-face communication.

Suzuki improves sales and profits
Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) ended the financial year through March 31, 2011, with increased consolidated sales and profits compared to the previous year, despite a severe market situation.
The tough situation caused by the exchange influences was recovered by the increased sales of automobiles and motorcycles in Asia, and increased income from the sales increase and cost reductions.
Consolidated sales increased to ¥2.61 trillion or $32.36 billion (105.6 per cent year on year), and consolidated profits exceeded those of the previous year with ¥106.9 billion or $1.33 billion of operating income (134.7 per cent YOY), ¥122.5 billion or $1.52 billion of ordinary income (130.5 per cent YOY) and ¥45.2 billion or $560.48 million of net income (156.2 per cent YOY).
The automobile segment achieved increased overall sales volume of 2,642 thousand units (112.4 per cent YOY) and increased global sales of ¥2.32 trillion or $28.77 billion (106.4 per cent YOY).
The operating income increased to ¥108.5 billion or $1.35 billion (119.8 per cent YOY) due to increased sales in emerging countries such as India and Indonesia.
In the motorcycle segment, overall sales volume (ATV included) was 2,695 thousand units (89.3 per cent YOY) and global sales were ¥257.7 billion or $3.2 billion (98.0 per cent YOY) with an operating loss of ¥10.8 billion or $134 million on account of the continued sales slowdown of large-size motorcycles to Europe and the U.S., but operating loss was reduced by ¥10.3 billion or $127.7 million because of improvement of operating results in Asia.
Sales and operating income of marine and power products business were ¥48.6 billion or $602.64 million (107.1 per cent YOY) and ¥6.7 billion or $83.08 million (126.2 per cent YOY) because of the sales increase mainly in Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania.
As for the operating results of regional segmentation, while the management environment of the Group has remained severe in the US and Europe, sales in Asia increased to ¥948.6 billion or $11.57 billion (121.5 per cent YOY) because of the increased sales of automobiles and motorcycles in various countries such as India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Thailand.
Operating income in Asian region decreased to ¥46.9 billion or $581 million (83.5 per cent YOY).
In Japan, sales were 1.57 trillion or $19.45 billion (105.6percent YOY) because of the increase in exports of automobiles to Europe, Asia and Central and South America. The operating income in Japan also increased to ¥53.2 billion or $659.1 million (155.8 per cent YOY).
For the sales outlook of next year, forecasts for the next fiscal year are undecided because the company is currently unable to reasonably calculate an impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake on our operating results.
SMC will announce forecasts when they are available.

Holiday always means chaos in our house. Our holiday for this year is now over, we are home and just about managing to overcome the after-holiday blues.
As I mentioned in my post before we went, organisation isn't a strong point when it comes to going on holiday.
However this time, it was so unorganized it was exceptional!
It all started with confusion around the date we were going on holiday. We had assumed we were on holiday Saturday-to-Saturday. However, we then noticed that on our booking confirmation it had us arrive on the Sunday. Uh oh!
Originally we had thought about going away a few days earlier and stopping halfway, which we decided against due to a pesky bathroom draining our holiday money away. At this point we were pretty glad we had decided not to.
So we started to think that we were leaving on the Sunday. Queue me sitting back on the Friday evening, thinking I have a whole day left to finish packing and be the queen of travelling. Organised. Not flustered. Packed.
Panic Stations and Chaos
Then on Saturday morning, hubby got up with the kids. For some reason, hubby decided to double check the booking. He looked at the attachment we were sent and noticed that it said Saturday.
Hubby comes running up the stairs, shouting, "we need to pack, we are leaving today".
I jumped out of bed in a panic.
We thought we had the whole day to organised ourselves.
We were going to spend the day smugly packing. Instead we were rush packing and faced a 6 hour car journey!
While I was packing, I suddenly feared that due to all this mix up we would turn up and have no where to stay.
Which one was correct, the email or the attachment?
So, we called the farm to confirm our booking was available from the Saturday.
It was indeed booked for them, so rush packing it was, with half-dressed kids and a stressed out mummy.
Finally we managed to everything and everyone in the car and we were on our way.
Have you got the passports?
As we reached the autobahn, I said to the hubby: "I assume you picked up the passports?"
His reply was "no".
ARGHH!!!!! More chaos and panic…
By this point we were already on the motorway, so we had to wait until the next junction, turn around and go home.
This is not the first time we have forgotten the passports, you would think we would have learnt our lesson by now!
Eventually we were properly on our way.
The Farm
6 hours and one trip to MacDonald's later, we finally arrived at our destination, hoping that we had not forgotten anything else.
As we arrived at the farm, we were blown away as we turned down the road towards the farm, which was surrounded by fields and stunning scenery.
The farm was perfect for little ones. There was a play-park to burn of any excess, a treehouse, go-carts and a sandpit. This provided a perfect opportunity to let them stretch their legs after a long journey.
Where we stayed was a working farm and the kids loved the tractors, cows, chickens, horses, cats and dogs.
Going on a tractor ride! #tractor #workingfarm #bloggerclubuk #family #familyholiday #parenting #twins #bavaria #holiday #feedingcows #funtimes #makingmemories
A photo posted by Double The Monkey Business (@doublethemonkeybusiness) on
The farm had a spa facility too. A bit of a result for mummy!
We immediately felt the homely vibe. It didn't take long to unpack and we were soon settling down with a glass of wine.
For the first point that day, we were glad we had arrived on the Saturday therefore giving us an extra day of the holiday.
Anyway, it just meant the stressful day was over and done with!
Want to know what happened in our holiday? Pop back later on in the week for all the info!

JAZZ FEST INDEX - 2014 Rochester INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL
The Joey DeFrancesco Trio were in the middle of a real steamroller when we walked in. The guy is a powerhose and hardly needs a band. What followed was a funky number that sounded like something off of Bitches Brew. A killer groove with weight to the space, remarkable in that it needed no bass other than DeFrancesco's foot pedal but then he switched to muted trumpet and it even got heavier.

text: 30 sep 2005 Smart beer mat orders refills Posted by spy on September 30 2005, 5:38 PM. Posted in Opinion. Because it's Friday.... A beer mat that knows when a glass is nearly empty and automatically asks for a refill has been created by thirsty researchers in Germany. Andreas Butz at the University of Munich and Michael Schmitz from Saarland University came up with the idea while out drinking with their students. The disc-shaped mat can be attached to a normal beer mat so that it still soaks up spilt liquid and displays an advertisement. But it also contains a pressure sensor and radio transmitter to alert bar staff of the need for a refill. The device weighs 110 grams and costs $100 to make, but Butz and Schmitz think the weight and cost would shrink if the mat were to be mass-produced. Pub games They say the mat could also be used for interactive TV events, as it contains an accelerometer capable of sensing when it is being waved in the air. "I've been discussing this with a friend of mine who is an expert pub goer," Butz told New Scientist. "He mentioned that the pay-TV companies who broadcast soccer games are desperately looking for ways to make TV an interactive experience. Betting on actual sports events with the mat could add such interactivity." The researchers believe the smart mat could even be used in pub games: "One important direction which needs further investigation is the large body of drinking games which has developed in certain cultures and how they can be supported using our beer mat."(I wonder if MS are thinking up an embedded OS version for this one!!)

Psychiatrists help improve TB patients' mental health
Doctors say that owing to stigma and the duration of treatment, TB patients easily slip into depression.mumbai Updated: Mar 23, 2016 11:32 IST
Hindustan Times
Psychiatrist Dr Austin Fernandes' family was apprehensive when he told them he was going to work at the Group of TB Hospitals in Sewri - Mumbai's main TB treatment facility. The family's apprehension was not unfounded as several employees of the hospital, including a doctor, have died of drug–resistant TB in the recent past.
Dr Fernandes joined the hospital in November 2014 following which, four more psychiatrists joined the hospital which, despite reporting suicide attempts by patients, never had a counsellor to treat drug-induced psychosis among patients.
The availability of psychiatrists has helped patients at the hospital, said its medical superintendent, Dr R Nanavare. Their work has improved the mental health of patients at the hospital. "The last time we had a patient committing suicide was in October 2015. There have been attempts by patients to harm themselves but we have been able to prevent it," said Dr Fernandes. At least 80% of TB patients are at the risk of developing psychosis which impairs emotion and thoughts in patients. At the Sewri hospital, the psychiatrists receive anywhere between 30 to 40 references about patients who need counselling.
Apart from drug-induced psychosis, many patients at the hospital who have been abandoned by their families need counselling. In October 2015, a patient committed suicide by strangling himself with oxygen pipe in the ward. "There is no one to blame. Family members start abandoning patients," said Dr Kedar Tilwe, a psychiatrist, recalling a case of a 47-year-old man who developed hearing loss because of medicines. "He had started getting delusional thoughts. We had to counsel him as well his family. As a result of the medicines, several patients have an agitated behavior."
Dr Nanavare said that in absence of psychiatrists, doctors would just stop the medicines to control psychosis, but this increased drug-resistance in patients. "We have seen improvement in adherence (to medicine) after the psychiatrists have joined," said Dr Nanavare.
Now, the team prescribes medicine to control such suicidal thoughts and the anti-TB drugs are continued which has helped reduce the defaulter rate. "Some patients are so weak that we have to give them bed-side counselling. Prior to starting them on medicine for drug-resistant TB, we take their detailed interview to pick any psychological issues," said Dr Prathmesh Kulkarni, psychiatrist at the hospital.
Doctors said that owing to stigma and the duration of treatment, TB patient easily slip into depression.

Towards Resilient Futures for Disadvantaged Young People
The Wyatt Trust is delighted to be supporting a comprehensive three year program to measure, build and embed wellbeing and resilience amongst a cohort of 850 disadvantaged young people from across Adelaide. The program, jointly funded by The Wyatt Trust and James and Diana Ramsay Foundation, is also being supported by the Department of Premier and Cabinet and a private benefactor.
The Wellbeing and Resilience Centre at SAHMRI will be using a systematic approach based on Dr Martin Seligman's PERMA dashboard (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning and Accomplishment) PLUS Physical Activity, Nutrition, Sleep and Optimism. The project aims to achieve improved mental health outcomes, more active participation in the community, increased self confidence and increased resilience to stressful life events for vulnerable young people.
The project will commence with a baseline measurement of wellbeing across all participants, followed by the transfer of validated skills and strategies that build wellbeing and resilience. Using a train the trainer model, youth workers and mentors from partner agencies will undertake Wellbeing and Resilience training to teach these skills to the young people. Ongoing mentoring will assist young people to integrate these skills through the provision of one-on-one support, group projects and targeted interventions to build their resilience and wellbeing.
Visit the Wellbeing and Resilience Centre website for more information about the project and the PERMA+ approach, and click here to see Wyatt's Chief Executive, Paul Madden, describe our support of the project.

Finally, a book of mini-lessons that takes the mystery out of teaching creative writing to students in grades four through eight! Teaching students the craft of short story writing is a great way to challenge them and channel their creative energy into a written format.

In addition, your students will critique their own and their peers' writing, so these lessons will develop their critical-thinking skills as they analyze and evaluate. This edition includes almost twenty new lessons that infuse technology into the writing process and allow for more differentiation and personalization in your classroom. These lessons will inspire even the most reluctant writers by directly connecting writing to their lives through the technology and tools that matter to them—wikis, digital media, virtual worlds, and more. Flexibility remains the foundation of Baldwin's approach, allowing you to spend as much or as little time as you want on this unit. Support is included for students who want to write a sports, science fiction/ fantasy, mystery, or historical story.

NEW LANGUAGE Release New Music Video "Frantic Believer"
Watch it now, here: youtu.be/YrL8SOGyBNo
Los Angeles, CA - September 22, 2016 -Los Angeles-based rockers NEW LANGUAGE have released a brand new video for their song "Frantic Believer." Fans can watch the stop-motion video, which the band made by taking thousands of pictures around Los Angeles, here: youtu.be/YrL8SOGyBNo.
On "Frantic Believer," singer Tyler Demorest shares: "'Frantic Believer' is an exploration of the uncertainty surrounding death and how that relates to unsound beliefs while religions push the fear of the afterlife as a means to drive belief. Particularly relating to the innate human desire to be reconnected with loved ones lost throughout a lifetime."
NEW LANGUAGE is a gritty, in-your-face rock act born in Los Angeles. The band was created by Demorest and Matt Cohen, whojoined forces with Tony Hajjar (At The Drive-In, Sparta) to produce new music. Though the three had originally intended to create an EP, their sessions together quickly turned into a summer spent recording a handful of songs that are now beginning to surface. NEW LANGUAGE's fiery brand of rock and roll calls to mind greats like Queens of The Stone Age and Foo Fighters; their sound blazes with a passion and fury unmatched by their contemporaries.
NEW LANGUAGE made their debut performance in April 2016 to a sold out crowd as direct support forGone Is Gone (Queens of the Stone Age, Mastodon, At The Drive-In) in Los Angeles, CA and has now embarked as direct support to THE USED on their 15 Year Anniversary Tourin cities across the US. NEW LANGUAGE's live lineup is Demorest (vocals, guitar), Cohen (bass), Sebastien Betley(guitar), and Martin Dovali (drums).
The band previously released an ominous and brooding video for their track "Wake Up," the first song written and released by NEW LANGUAGE, which originally debuted on TripleJ Radio by Richard Kingsmill. On "Wake Up," Demorest explains: "It's a call to action... a plea to snap out of the current haze of cultural monotony we've all come to expect and many have come to embrace."
With brash new tunes and even more touring in their future, the band is sure to find many new listeners willing to take up that call.

Divas Girls Group - "This is Me"
October 6th 2017
Starting off for the month of October the Divas shared their "This Is Me" poems that they wrote the previous week. Many of the poems were inspiring and the girls spoke highly of themselves. The Canvas ladies, Londzo and Maymuna, had an activity prepared that involved digging skin deep. The Divas were required to analyze their meaning of beautiful then study a few pictures of racial stereotypes and moved forward in having a discussion on the impact of these negative stereotypes. They even shared their own experience of being stereotyped. After a 15-minute break the Divas regrouped and watched a video about colorism then were to reflect on how they felt about the video. A lot of the girls had great insight on how they felt about the video. Lastly, the Divas wrapped up the rest of the evening with writing in their journals. Next week, there will be a lot more exciting activities for the Diva girls.

Boohoo has a Plus Size range!
I have always loved Boohoo as a brand, but only really from a distance as until now they simply didn't make clothes in my size. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that I am now able to buy clothes that are more on my style wavelength. I guess what I love is that most of the clothes are on the site can also be found in straight sizes, I want to be given the same options as my slimmer friends and it looks like now I finally have. There are so many things I love about this range, mostly I love the simplicity of it, finding an oversized black t-shirt dress for plus sizes is harder than you think! The range is very much on trend with gorgeous bright prints, subtle spring pastels and edgy denim. So the day before leaving for Amsterdam I started my birthday celebrations early with a glass of bubbly and spectacular high tea at the Sanderson Hotel with the Boohoo press team and some of my favourite bloggers. We got a sneak peak of the clothes and the afternoon was lovely, the food was gorgeous and the girls over at Boohoo were a dream. So thank you so very much Boohoo! So tell me girls what do you think of the range?

Senate Panel Approves Gun Magazine Limit [AUDIO]
After hours of heated testimony Monday, the State Senate Law and Public Safety Committee approved a bill to reduce the legal limit of rounds in an ammunition magazine from 15 to 10.
Supporters and detractors of the measure were very passionate in expressing their views.
"New Jersey can remain in the forefront in this important struggle to address the gun violence that ravages our communities," said Ron Schwartz, a member of the Bergen County Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence. "Sadly, there are many examples of how limiting the size of ammunition magazines has been necessary to save lives."
Critics of the legislation also had their say before the Senate panel.
"The cold, hard truth is that no one will be any safer under this feel-good legislation because criminals and madmen will either ignore it or find another tool," said Scott Bach, executive director of the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. "In Virginia Tech, 10-round magazines were used. In Columbine, 10-round magazines were used."
According to Bach, it is absurd to think a criminal can have a 10-round magazine, but not a 15-round magazine. Schwartz said that limiting magazine clips to 10 rounds will make New Jersey safer for children and communities.
Under current law, 15-round ammunition magazines are legal in New Jersey. The 10-round limit would bring the Garden State's laws in line with the limits in the 1994 assault weapons ban. The bill was approved by the full Assembly in March and now awaits final legislative approval by the full Senate, before heading to the desk of Gov. Chris Christie.

For Easter this year my com held a quaint picnic in a grassy patch framed by trees and foliage named Bunny Meadow in Golden Gate Park. Our dresses were a flurry of pastels and we snacked on a variety of themed goods. As a special surprise I brought along two very important guests- Rancor and Trooper from my herd!
We set up a play pen so they could enjoy the fresh air and fed them carrots and strawberries. This was their first adventure outdoors and they really seemed to enjoy themselves! I must make a note to bring them out again, I so wish I had a backyard for them to sprawl about.
We spent the meet lazing about in the sun and shade, nibbling on a variety of treats, and talking about the latest in lolita news. My girls found themselves the center of attention not only from our group, but from passersby who delighted in the fact that Bunny Meadow had actual bunnies in it that day.
|They weren't the only bunnies there!
Usagi Cafe
The very next weekend a small group of us checked out a nearby restaurant called "Usagi". It wasnt as bunny themed as I'd hoped, that is until you get to the dessert! It was so hard to choose from the menu because everything sounded great, and as I would find out when the food arrived, it tasted great too! I finally decided on the Katsu curry while Charles ordered their burger and we found both dishes very satisfying.
Dessert was a parfait for me and affogato for Charles. I couldn't try for myself but he assured me his was delicious and helped me polish off mine. Next time I think I will try their green tea flavor.

After lunch we took a short trip over to the Japanese Tea and Rose Gardens for pleasant scenery. The roses had climbed much taller than last I saw them, and most towered over us! My coord for the day was a mori girl inspired look with bunnies and roses and strawberries covering my dress.
Have a sugar-sweet day and thanks for reading!

Opening Up a 24-Hour Worldwide Confessional
Father Roger J. Landry
... this year the Gospel for the Fourth Sunday of Lent is the Parable of the Prodigal Son, the most famous short story of all time, in which Jesus highlights the extraordinary celebration that takes place in heaven whenever a wayward son or daughter returns home to the Father's love.
This Friday and Saturday, March 4 and 5, mark one of the pivotal points of the extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy.
Pope Francis has asked every Diocese in the world to celebrate on these days "24 Hours for the Lord," marked by intense prayer and the continuous offering of the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. In the "Face of Mercy," his Bull of Indication for the Jubilee of Mercy, he made plain the purpose of this special day within the holy year: to "place the Sacrament of Reconciliation at the center once more in such a way that it will enable people to touch the grandeur of God's mercy with their own hands" and allow "every penitent" to find the "source of true interior peace."
He scheduled it intentionally for the "Friday and Saturday preceding the Fourth Week of Lent," because on the Fourth Sunday of Lent we celebrate "Laetare" or "Rejoice!" Sunday, and every Catholic will have a chance to ponder God's greatest joy and how he wishes to share that joy with us.
That's because this year the Gospel for the Fourth Sunday of Lent is the Parable of the Prodigal Son, the most famous short story of all time, in which Jesus highlights the extraordinary celebration that takes place in heaven whenever a wayward son or daughter returns home to the Father's love: God the Father embraces the child, restores the child to full dignity, slaughters the fatted calf, throws a massive celebration, and invites everyone else to join the feast.
Right before this parable and intrinsically connected to it, Jesus presents the parables of the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin, in which he underscores that "heaven rejoices more for one repentant sinner than for 99 who never needed to repent." Those are truly shocking words, a reality we could never believe unless the came from the lips of Truth incarnate: insofar as the only one who never needed to repent, because she never sinned, was the Blessed Virgin Mary and we know how much she pleased God by the continuous fiat of her life, Jesus is declaring that whenever God is able to reconcile a son or a daughter, his joy is, in a sense, almost 100 times greater.
How can that be? Jesus gives us a hint. The reason why the Father throws such an over-the-top celebration for the return of the prodigal son who had squandered not just half of his property but the treasure of their relationship was, he said, "because my son was dead but has come to life again, he was lost but has been found."
Every parent of multiple children should be able readily to relate to this. No matter how pleased a mom or dad would be with a child who always obeyed, loved, and acted honorably, that could not compare with the joy a parent would feel if a child who had been abducted, run away from home, or lost at sea, all of a sudden appeared at the family doorstep safe and sound. It could not compare with the joy of a parent would feel who, having seen a child flat-line, all of a sudden saw the monitor reignite minutes later.
The joyful truth that Jesus is underscoring is that every reconciliation is a true resurrection, when a child dead through "mortal sin" is spiritually resuscitated. This is one of the reasons why it is fitting that Jesus established the Sacrament of Penance on Easter Sunday evening. Whenever the Sacrament of Penance is celebrated as it ought to be, heaven celebrates as if it were Easter Sunday! And God wants us to have that joy, the joy of having our soul brought back to its baptismal splendor, the joy of having all our sins taken away by the Lamb of God and replaced by his Risen Life.
The "24 Hours for the Lord" initiative is not new. It's the third year that Pope Francis has led one in St. Peter's. In 2014, he stunned many by going to Reconciliation himself before hearing confessions for an hour. In 2015, he took advantage of the occasion to surprise everyone by announcing the Jubilee of Mercy. It's hard to predict what he will have up his white sleeve this year, as he leads the 24 Hours of Mercy devotion at 5 pm Rome time.
But why, we can ask, is there a need for a marathon session of around-the-clock confessions like the 24 Hours of the Lord? Why the need for similar outreaches like the "Light is On For You" initiatives in various Dioceses on Lenten Wednesday nights, or the Reconciliation Mondays on Monday of Holy Week in various New York Dioceses, or the Reconciliation Weekends like the Diocese of Fall River held in 2009 and 2010?
The reason there is a need for something "spectacular" is because the ordinary way of offering the Sacrament of Reconciliation has not been reaching everyone who needs God's mercy.
A 2008 CARA study sponsored by the US Bishops showed that only 26 percent of adult Catholics say they go to Confession the minimum of once a year. 30 percent go less than once a year and 45 percent never go. Of those who attend Mass every Sunday, 23 percent say they go to Reconciliation less than once a year and 15 percent report never going. This obviously isn't because sinning has stopped but because many Catholics treat the Sacrament as an optional part of the faith: 62 percent of Catholics, including 54 percent of regular Sunday Mass-goers, say that they can be good Catholics without going to Penance the canonical minimum.
In short, there's a crisis with regard to the Sacrament of Reconciliation, a crisis tied to the loss of the sense of sin, poor preaching and sacramental catechesis, inconvenient hours and busier schedules, rejection of Catholic teaching on specific moral issues, and the novel idea that we have a right to receive Holy Communion no matter what the state of our soul. The Church announces special outreaches like the 24 Hours of the Lord, therefore, not only to try to reach the lost sheep on the peripheries but also in the pews.
Different Dioceses are responding to Pope Francis' summons in different ways. I'll be hearing confessions at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York for several hours on Friday night. In the Diocese of Fall River, the 24 Hours will be held at seven different Churches; in the Archdiocese of Boston, in 12. It would doubtless bring great joy to Heaven to see all of these sites teeming with God's children entering into celestial joy.
The Year of Mercy, Pope Francis has been stressing, must be "linked, first and foremost, to the Sacrament of Reconciliation." The 24 Hours for the Lord is designed to make that link plain and to spur as many as possible to come to experience the Jubilee Year's most important gift.
Father Roger J. Landry is a priest of the Diocese of Fall River, Massachusetts, who works for the Holy Sees Permanent Observer Mission to the United Nations.

Barry U. sells WXEL radio to Classical South Florida
WXEL-FM (90.7) of Boynton Beach, a public radio station that features classical music and National Public Radio programming, was sold earlier this week for $3.85 million to Classical South Florida, the Fort Lauderdale-based station owned by American Public Media Group.
The sale was approved by the board of trustees of Barry University, the private Catholic university in Miami Shores that has owned WXEL radio and TV since 1997. Barry Telecommunications Inc. will continue to hold the WXEL-TV license, the school said.
"We are pleased to welcome Classical South Florida as the new steward of WXEL-FM," Sister Linda Bevilacqua, president of Barry University, said in a news release. "In terms of radio service to the Palm Beach and Treasure Coast communities, Classical South Florida brings local control and local content to the WXEL audience, with the backing of an outstanding organization, American Public Media."
St. Paul, Minn.-based American Public Media Group began broadcast operations at Classical South Florida –at WKCP (89.7 FM) – in October 2007, after buying the station, then a Christian-programming outlet called WMCU, from Trinity University of San Antonio, Texas.
After the sale of WXEL has been approved by state and federal regulators, the radio station's call letters will be changed to avoid confusion with the TV station, Classical South Florida said in a release. The new call letters have not yet been chosen.
"Under our stewardship, the station will continue to serve Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast," said Doug Evans, general manager of Classical South Florida, in a press statement. "The combination will allow CSF to extend the reach and enhance the quality of public radio programming throughout South Florida."
Classical South Florida said in its news release that it plans to strengthen WXEL's classical music programming while retaining its NPR news and public affairs content. American Public Media's programs include A Prairie Home Companion, Performance Today, SymphonyCast, Saint Paul Sunday and Pipe Dreams.
In addition to broadcasting at WKCP, Classical South Florida's programs can also be heard via low-power repeater at 101.9 FM in West Palm Beach.

The hybrid mismatch rules, which have applied from 1 January 2017 whatever a group's year end, are aimed at counteracting tax mismatches where the same item of expenditure is deductible in more than one jurisdiction or where expenditure is deductible but the corresponding income is not fully taxable (or the income is taxed at a beneficial rate or is deferred to a future period).
The rules are complex, which is illustrated by the draft of HMRC's guidance running to almost 400 pages. As a practical matter, a good starting point is to identify a mismatch in the tax treatment within an arrangement. In order to do this, it will be necessary to fully understand the corresponding overseas tax treatment to each transaction. If there is a mismatch, this can then be tested to see if it is of a type which is within the scope of the rules.
The rules are mechanical in operation and do not contain a purpose test, and so can apply to wholly commercial transactions.
Whilst the rules can apply to all types of deductions, including intra-group fees and payments for goods and services, in the context of M&A activity, we have considered the application of the rules to financing transactions, as illustrated by the following examples.
Suppose a US parent company receives interest on a loan to its disregarded UK subsidiary. There is a mismatch if the interest expense is deductible in the UK but the corresponding interest income is not taxable because, for US tax purposes, the UK subsidiary and the loan do not exist.
More surprisingly, we recently advised on a situation where the rules were found to apply to loans between two UK group companies (subsidiaries of US group companies) even though there was no mismatch in tax treatment either in the UK or the US.
The situation involved a loan between two UK companies both of which were disregarded for US tax purposes. In the UK, the interest expense and income would be both allowable and taxable as recognised in the accounts, so there is no mismatch in the UK tax treatment. Within the US, the structure of the wholly owned group was such that, within the consolidated tax return, both the interest expense and interest income would be separately recognised, so there would also be no mismatch in the US tax treatment.
Whilst it might not be expected that the hybrid mismatch rules would apply in these circumstances, as there is no mismatch, their application is triggered because the interest expense on the borrowing is deductible in both the UK and the US.
Even where there is a mismatch within the scope of the rules, there is no disallowance of the interest expense in the UK to the extent there is income in the UK borrowing company which is taxed both in the UK and the US. However, in this case, as a practical matter, there is expected to be no such income in the borrower. Although the interest income on the lending is taxable both in the UK and the US, this arises in the UK lender not the UK borrower, and so there is no relief from the mechanical application of the rules.
Having identified the issue, it was possible to restructure the arrangements but if the issue had not been identified there would have been a material downside with the UK sub-group being taxed on the interest receipt with no relief for the corresponding interest deduction.
The hybrid mismatch rules are not only relevant to the type of mismatch between a UK company and its direct counterparty, as illustrated above. In particular, in order to assess whether the rules are relevant, it will be necessary to fully understand the chain of any linked transactions and the overseas tax treatment throughout this chain.
Suppose that a UK subsidiary has borrowed on interest bearing terms from its Luxembourg parent company. The interest expense is deductible in the UK as recognised in the accounts and the corresponding income is recognised in the accounts of the Luxembourg parent company and taxed at the standard rate. As a result, there is no mismatch in the treatment of the loan interest between the UK and Luxembourg and the group may (mistakenly) believe that the Hybrid rules will not apply.
A common arrangement is where the Luxembourg parent company is financed by preferred equity certificates (or "PECs") issued to its shareholders who are private equity investors. In Luxembourg, the PECs are accounted for as debt and the coupon recognised in the accounts is tax deductible. As a result, the Luxembourg parent company is effectively taxed on a small margin.
If there is a mismatch in the treatment of the coupon on the PECs between Luxembourg and for the private equity investors, the UK company may be required to self-assess a disallowance of the interest expense on its borrowing from the Luxembourg parent company.
The key point here is that a good understanding of the tax treatment of each private equity investor will be required to determine whether it is reasonable to suppose there is a mismatch and its nature; perhaps the mismatch is only one of timing if the investor is a US company which is taxed on a receipts basis, or of non-taxation if the income is received in a tax haven or a territory were a tax exemption applies.
Note to reader: This section examines the interaction between the hybrid mismatch rules and a measure removed from Finance (No. 2) Bill 2017. We understand that these measures are intended to be reintroduced at the earliest opportunity post-election.
Taken together with the new corporate interest restriction regime, which will apply from 1 April 2017, business will be faced with an onerous additional compliance burden in addition to the existing rules which can potentially disallow interest deductions. Accordingly, it will be necessary to find a practical approach to apply the various rules.
In some respects, it is helpful that there will now be no overlap between the existing worldwide debt cap regime, which ceased to apply on 31 March 2017, and the corporate interest restriction regime. However, both regimes, are based, in part, on interest amounts taken from the group accounts. So, if a group's accounts straddle 1 April 2017, it will be necessary to apportion the group results pre and post this transition date. The version of the draft legislation in Finance (No. 2) Bill 2017 now includes an apportionment mechanism for both sets of rules. It may be worthwhile considering how this will be applied in practice.
The interaction of the hybrid mismatch rules with the corporate interest restriction rules is less straightforward because both regimes provide for disallowed amounts to be potentially deductible in later periods.
For example, in the context of the shareholder debt described above, as a practical matter, it might be sensible to first allocate any disallowance under the corporate interest restriction rules to the shareholder debt to avoid testing the application of the hybrid mismatch rules. The compliance burden may be high given that the tax treatment of the various investors needs to be considered, particularly where the investors are in the form of partnerships as it may be difficult to obtain information on the tax status of the partners. It had been hoped that HMRC might simplify the interaction. However, in a change proposed to be made to the hybrid mismatch rules in Finance (No. 2) Bill 2017, it has been made clear that the hybrid mismatch rules must be applied before the corporate interest restriction rules. It therefore appears that groups will need to fully test the application of the hybrid mismatch rules even where it is clear that there is insufficient capacity under the corporate interest restriction rules to deduct an equivalent amount of interest.
Finally, it is noted that there is no grandfathering treatment and so existing arrangements will need to be considered.

Study: 46 Percent of Progress Note Text is Copy and Pasted
A study exploring the prevalence of copy and pasted text in EHR progress notes found that in one hospital, 46 percent of the text in notes was copy and pasted. Additionally, the study of 23,630 total records found that 36 percent of progress note text was imported, while only 18 percent of the text was entered manually.

I noticed a new review on Amazon today and thought it worthwhile to share it here. It is written by Christopher Davey who purchased the book through the Amazon site.
"Just finished The Living Hunger - wow! What a story! Exciting...
chillingly realistic, full of interesting characters that struggle to
become tougher as the battle to survive ramps up. I've read quite a few
apocalyptic stories, but this one grabs your emotions and pulls you in.
I didn't grow up in a country where people hunt for food to feed
their families, but here you'll see how that experience could prepare
some to handle a world where so many have died, so little is left, but
ironically, many of the worst that featured in the fringes of
civilization (now lost) have hung on, and are determined to enjoy the
liberty of a world without governments, police or rules. Don't read
this expecting a fairy-tale world, or heroes that beat all - you'll
never know, until the end, just who will survive, and who will fall, as
those who believe in freedom, peace, love and sharing are forced to
fight to kill - or be killed - by the ruthless band that takes and takes
(if no one opposes), until there is nothing left to take"
Thank you, Chris. Read more reviews by clicking on this link.

Camagüey has sufficientattractions to turn into a forced destination for those who from other latitudes visit the biggest of the Antilles, and there were not few those who in the year 2017 stated the marvels of a hereditary metropolis and its refreshing beaches.
It was the first time that Leticia León, a young woman of Madrid, was coming to this city, and she expressed to Radio Cadena Agramonte that in the hotel Camino de Hierro had a very agreeable stay, "the rooms are very wide and the hotel is very well, and on having been in the center, it has been easy to visit other places to us".
Similar preference showed, but for the spa Saint Lucia, a tourist who was coming from Canada, and although she has been in Varadero, Cienfuegos, Cayo Largo, Holguín and Havana, "more I like Camagüey", she annotated.
Saint Lucia: Cubanacán and other foreign chains
The Saint Lucia beach benefited this year with the commercialization and administration shared with foreign entities, which answers to a strategy of the Department of the Tourism.
Alberto GarcíaDomínguez, the first vice-president of the Group Cubanacán in the country, said that for the contract of commercialization of the hotel Villaggio Bravo Caracol, with the tour-operator Alpitour, current from 2016, added to beginnings of the present calendar the shared administration of the ancient Gran Club Saint Lucia, with the Spanish chain Roc Hotels.
"It assures clients in big quantity and the new contracts must improve the occupation and impose superior quality standards", added the manager.
At the head of the Roc Saint Lucia is Luca AndreoniBerti, general manager of the installation, who aimed that "this hotel, in a locality possibly not much known in Europe, is among the first 20 hotels of Cuba, and this can be a very interesting thing at the time of deciding where to spend the holidays, and the answer is: in Roc Saint Lucia, Saint Lucia, Camagüey".
Of the effects of the hurricane Irma did not escape the tourist pole; nevertheless the recovery only took some weeks and gradually there began to receive visitors who appreciated the positive change and the comfort of every infrastructure for the safety of the clients.
The constant progress to receive the summer period and the current winter stage characterized the chore of the hotel facilities in Saint Lucia.
On this matter, Julio del Toro Orozco delegated of the Group Cubanacán in Camagüey, emphasized that there materialized actions of repair and change of image. "The tourist operation has its support on the market of Canada, and one does not neglect the management with the internal market, which one of the principal clients constitutes of the pole".
City tourism, without regressions
To Saint Lucia there has already joined for several years the city of Camagüey, as a product inserted in the form of circuits, and in 2017, an increase was stated in the tourists' arrival, as affirms Leonor Sabido Bonito, specialist of Public and Commercial Relations of the hotel complex Cubanacán City.
"Our main market is that of the United States, in spite of the limitations that there imposes the blockade of the Government of this country against Cuba; followed by the Italian. This year we attacked the organization of the principal areas of the complex and there joined the hotel Colonial one, with ten rooms, a bar - coffee and a shop for the sale of tobacco Havana cigars".
From big impact, there resulted the chain Meliá Hotels International, with 27 years of operations in Cuba, which signed contract of administration of the Gran Hotel, and of the hotels Colón and Camagüey.
The Cuban Agency of News published that the hiring, which must become effective in 2018, will raise the quality of the rooming capacity in the metropolis from the reshaping of the infrastructure, and march according to the due thing, in accordance with information offered in a recent press conference, for Sergio Ferreiro delegated of the Department of Tourism in the province.
Neither stayed behind the extra-hotel offers of the group Palmares, with emblematic units in Saint Lucia and the city of Camagüey, between them the OcioClub, which attracted several villagers for its attractive equipment.
And if of recreation we talk, the facilities of Campismo Popular stand out between the most accessible for the national clients, with options that caught the attention especially in the summer.
2018 will be of important challenges for the tourism in Camagüey, since it is a question of consolidating the development in the city and of promoting even more the commercialization of the hotels in Saint Lucia, joined to the advance of the investment process that is executed in the north cays.
To these targets, the workpeople of the sector will contribute with their management, even more those who work in houses of revenue and not state restaurants, all with the only end to position the province as a destination of preference because of its hereditary values. (Photos of the author)

At The Male Room challenge blog a new challenge starts today. This is a blog for cards for the men and boys and the current theme is Get Well Soon. My two sons have been a little unwell for the last few days, hopefully they're over it now but I was reminded of 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away' and so I created the card below
The DP is Winter Frost from SU, but I think it works equally well here as for a Christmas card- very masculine feel to it. I've picked out the colours to stamp the little apple image ( a freebie) and the sentiment is from Delightful Dozen-which is proving to be a real good buy. I think male cards need a minimal approach to bling, but I couldn't resist adding the pearl brad to the sentiment.

PCSU is one of the largest extra-curricular activities in college. Weekly meetings on Fridays at lunchtime in the Assembly Hall are very popular, with at times up to 200 students attending a programme of varied events, from worship sessions, to bible studies and socials.
Most meetings have a time of worship led by students and a talk from a guest speaker, testimonies from students or other activities such as teacher panels.
This year the focus was on the story of Joseph and how we can apply this to our everyday lives.
The SU weekend continues to be a good opportunity for fellowship and fun with approximately 90 students travelling to Castlewellan Castle in March. This was a fantastic weekend where we enjoyed some fabulous Spring weather and were challenged on the theme of "Awe". Our guest speaker was Jonny Farrell from Youth for Christ in Ballyclare.
SU is organised by a committee of 5 students and 3 teachers who meet every Monday at lunchtime for overall planning and specifics of each week's programme. The Friday meetings are run by the students for the students.
There are also two prayer meetings – one before school and the other on a Tuesday lunchtime.
SU Teachers hold these two overall aims:
- SU should be an opportunity for students to increase their knowledge of God and develop opportunities to explain their beliefs.
- SU is a training ground for future leaders as the students should be involved in all aspects of planning and delivery.

Through presentation skills, brand storytelling, and storytelling training, we help clients transform their business communications into captivating stories that audiences remember, share and act upon.
