Connemara Marble - The Stone from the Land of Savage Beauty
on July 16, 2018
Along with the Claddagh and Harp, the Celtic cross is one of the best known Irish (or Celtic) symbols. Steeped in history, they are important reminders of our heritage. Their origin, meaning, and symbolism may surprise you!
There are at least 60 Celtic crosses in Ireland, as well as a number of ruins. The Celtic crosses that are seen today were primarily commissioned and constructed up until the mid 12th century. After the end of the 12th century, construction of these crosses all but disappeared.
These wonderful crosses were normally used as boundary markers, for example where parishes intersected, or as monuments surrounding monasteries, cathedrals, or churches. Contrary to some beliefs, they were not used as gravestones, but newer crosses have enjoyed increased popularity as gravestones since the 1850's.
The beauty of these crosses is not just in their basic shape, but also in the intricate carvings found on many of them. The level of detail and the quality of the artwork is something that is normally associated with treasured manuscripts, such as the Book of Kells.
Since we offer a variety of Celtic Crosses in the form of jewelry and other Irish gifts, we are often asked about the elements of the Celtic cross. We hope that you'll find this article interesting and that you'll learn something new.
Also known as a High cross, or an Irish cross, Celtic crosses are found throughout Ireland. They are compromised of a normal cross, with a ring that travels completely around the cross intersection.
The major components of the Celtic cross are:
- Cross base
- Intersection
- Ring
- Capstone (including the finial)
Construction of the Celtic cross normally starts with the cross base, which is an extremely heavy stone. Often times, the base had another life before being carved for the cross, such as being used as a millstone. The high cross is seated into a carved socket in the stone base by means of a tenon, forming a very secure and strong joint.
Crosses are decorated with a series of panels, which usually cover the majority of the cross. Traditionally, these panels are used to show important biblical scenes or to highlight elements of Celtic design and art.
At the intersection of the cross, the ring is added, giving the Celtic cross its classic and world-renowned look. Most crosses feature a pierced ring, but the are variants that do not have any open space between the inner circumference of the ring, and the cross intersection.
An additional tenon joint is commonly found above the ring, seating the capstone. The capstone is often portrayed as a small house, complete with roof. This forms the architectural finial of the cross.
Sandstone and granite are the two most common stone used to construct these ancient crosses. Unfortunately, both are susceptible to weather and the elements. This has left some crosses in varying stages of wear - ranging from the borderline pristine to crosses where determining the characters in the images is extremely difficult.
Although the Celtic cross is tightly associated with Christianity today, this was not always the case. In fact, the Celtic cross pre-dates Christianity and has its origins in an older religion. As Ireland converted to Christianity, the cross remained an integral symbol, and as such, it took on new meaning. It is generally thought that St. Patrick and others responsible for Ireland's conversion to Christianity sought to use symbols that the Irish were already familiar with, thus making the transition easier and more accepted.
In Ireland (as well as in Great Britain), Celtic Crosses began appearing as early as the 7th century. Often, these large stone crosses were erected by Irish monks.
In Irish legend, a popular tale credits Saint Patrick with the design of the Celtic cross. The tale goes that St. Patrick combined the Christian cross with the sun (or possibly the moon). This was an attempt to highlight the importance of the cross by combining it with a known Celtic symbol of life.
However, we now know that this style of Cross predates St. Patrick and that Celtic cross designs were in existence prior to the 5th century (though perhaps not as widespread due to the fact that Irish monks had yet to raise many of the better-known examples).
The massive crosses found across Ireland today were generally constructed in the name of Christianity. Other than the obvious Christian reference of the cross, various crosses contain panels with either biblical scenes or decorative Celtic art. Traditional Irish symbols were often used for the panels, as were significant scenes from the Bible, such as the Crucifixion, the Resurrection, Adam and Eve, and so forth.
It is the panels on the Celtic cross that often attract the most attention. Use of Celtic symbols and biblical scenes, combined with great stone-carving skill, add beautiful design elements to many of these crosses. Some panels feature Celtic knot designs, while others attempt to tell a simple story or give tribute to a great event. Interpreting the meaning of what the artist was trying to convey can be a challenge sometimes. Weathering and other environmental damage can also contribute to difficulty in understanding images. Fortunately, we can still decipher a great number of the image meanings.
It is interesting to note, however, that there is a fundamental difference between earlier Celtic crosses and the later Christian-based designs. The image of the Celtic cross that we think of today has arms that extend outside of the circle, while earlier examples of the cross have the cross arms completely inside the circle.
Below are some of the more important Celtic crosses found in Ireland. This short list is not intended to be all-inclusive but is just to give a short description of some of the more significant crosses. Certainly, if you can think of a significant Celtic cross that we have overlooked, please use the comment feature at the bottom of this article, and we'll do our best to add information on the cross.
The Ardboe Celtic Cross, County Tyrone
Also though of as one of the finest Celtic crosses in Ireland is the high cross at Ardboe. The cross is located beside the shores of Lough Neagh, atop a small hill. It is made entirely of sandstone and stands over 18 feet tall.
The sandstone has been badly weathered over time, and some emigrants from the area took a small chip of the stone with them on their travels. Even still the examples on the cross of carved figure remain one of the best. The scenes featured on its panels are of biblical in nature.
The cross was commissioned in the 9th or 10th century, and is now all that remains of a thriving monastery that used to occupy the nearby land.
The Muiredach Celtic Cross, County Louth
This beautiful Celtic cross is generally regarded as one of Ireland's finest. The massive cross stands at just over 18 feet tall. It is generally thought that the cross gets its name from Muiredach mac Domhnaill, who was responsible for its construction. He died in 923.
The design of the cross is heavily influenced by biblical scenes in the cross panels. In general terms, the east face features Old Testament scenes, while the west side is more influenced by the New Testament. There are also a few panels whose meaning is not clear.
The Kells Celtic Cross, County Meath
The Kells Cross was moved in recent times as being located in the middle of the town proved a safety hazard for those visiting the cross, as well as safety for the cross itself (it was hit by a car). It now resides outside the Kells visitor center, under a free-standing roof.
Kells is also home to Saint Columba's monastery, and features a variety of Celtic crosses, as well as the ruins of a tower.
Celtic Cross of the Scriptures, County Offaly
Located at the monastery in Clonmacnoise, this stunning cross was carved from a single piece of sandstone, sometime around the turn of the 10th century. It stands at just over 13 feet tall, and has been moved inside the visitor's center during recent years in an effort to preserve it. A replica now occupies the spot that it originally stood in, but both the original and replica are accessible.
The inscription on the cross requests that a prayer be said for both Flann (an Irish king) and Colman (who commissioned the cross). Like many Celtic crosses, the body of the cross is divided into panels that feature a variety of scenes from the Bible.
The Ahenny High Crosses, County Tipperary
The two sandstone Ahenny crosses date from the 8th to 9th centuries and are among the earliest of the ringed high crosses. The South cross appears in better condition than the North cross. Part of the ring from the North cross is no longer part of the monument. Both crosses feature wonderful carved Celtic art in their panels, as well as biblical scenes (primarily on the base).
St. Kevin's Cross, County Wicklow
St. Kevin dies in or around 618, but this beautiful Celtic cross in the glacial valley of Glendalough still bears his name. This particular cross features a ring that is unpierced, and the cross is designed as a plain cross, without the intricate panels seen on many others. Made from local granite, it remains relatively well-preserved.
The cross dates to the late 6th or 7th century. Folklore has it that anyone who can wrap their arms fully around the cross and makes a wish will have that wish granted. However, the circumference of the cross is over 1 meter!
Doorty Celtic Cross, County Clare
Located in Kilfenora, and featuring a Bishop and two other clerics amongst it carvings, the cross also features a crucifixion scene. In addition, a two-headed bird is carved on the cross. It features an unpierced ring, and cross arms that are rather small compared to the overall size of the cross.
Also in Kilfenora is the well-known West cross, that stands over 15 feet high. This cross stands on its own in stone-walled fields, and is carved with a crucifixion scene, as well as Celtic knotwork.
Kilkieran Celtic Crosses, County Tipperary
The three Celtic crosses located at Kilkieran represent some of the earliest examples of this cross style. Thought to have been erected in the 9th century, they are built from sandstone. Primarily focused on intricate Celtic designs and symbols, these crosses do feature some animals, and in particular, horses.
Moone High Cross, County Kildare
The High Cross at Moone stand over 17 feet tall, but was not re-discovered until 1835. During some work in the graveyard, workers uncovered portions of the cross, but it would take another 60 years for all sections to be found. The cross is extremely well preserved. In addition to Celtic designs on the cross, there are also biblical references.
Kilree High Cross, County Kilkenny
This Kilree Celtic Cross appears to be missing its capstone (a tenon joint at the top is visible, indicating that another piece used to be mounted). It has suffered the effects of weathering, making some of the details of the cross difficult to make out.
Believed to be from the 9th century, the cross stands at 9 feet tall.
The other distinctly Irish cross of significance is St. Brigid's cross. Though nowhere near as intricate or grand as the stone Celtic crosses, the beauty of St. Brigid's cross lies in its sheer simplicity.
According to legend, St. Brigid made this cross while either her father or a pagan chief was dying. St. Brigid picked some reeds off the floor and began to fashion across while explaining Christianity. The dying began asking questions about this faith and was converted to Christianity before his death. Similar to the Celtic crosses, there were eventually reports of crosses being fashioned from reeds that pre-dated Christianity.
Today, the most common use of the Celtic cross is as Irish jewelry or home décor. Both are important reminders of our heritage. The Celtic cross is visually pleasing, and unlike the traditional Christian crosses, does not focus as heavily on the image of pain and suffering that the traditional cross is designed to invoke. Also, the Celtic cross is not limited to use by Catholics or even Christians. Many other religions consider it as "their" symbol too.
For those searching to add a Celtic cross to their personal world, a pendant that features the cross is the most popular option. These are available in a variety of styles and metals, with personal choice and budget being the only real limitations in the search.
Pendants usually have enough "real estate" to allow for some of the traditional Celtic symbols to be added inside their boundaries. This is not always true when the cross is featured on a ring. Pendants set with stones also add another level of beauty and uniqueness to the pendant.
Some of the more popular Celtic symbols to appear on Celtic cross jewelry includes intricate Celtic knotwork, the triscele (or triple spiral), and Trinity knots to name but a few. Pendants are also available in either single-sided or double-sided designs. Naturally, there are metal choices ranging from sterling silver to 18K gold.
Another popular choice is a Celtic cross ring. The cross is often part of wedding band sets that feature traditional Irish and Celtic symbols around the outside of the bands. Celtic cross earrings are also very popular, with a large variety of styles and metals available.
Although St. Patrick is undoubtedly better known outside the Emerald Isle, St. Brigid, along with Patrick and Columba, is one of Ireland's beloved patron saints. As a leader of the early Celtic Christian church in Ireland, she is celebrated on her Feast Day, February 1st.
You will sometimes see the spelling of her name anglicized as St. Bridget and her Feast Day, also known as Imbolc, heralds the arrival of early Spring and the welcoming of longer and warmer days to come. Imbolc is one of the four major ancient pagan Irish "fire" festivals and according to Irish mythology, Brigid was a goddess of fire.
As you can see, St. Brigid stands at the doorway between the worlds of pagan rites, Druidism and that of Christianity. There is a charming custom that still continues in some Irish homes on St. Brigid's day, the tradition of Brigid's Bed. On January 31st, St. Brigid's Eve, the unmarried young women of Irish villages create a doll made of corn which is called the Brideog (little Brigid or young Brigid). The decorate the doll with ribbons, shells, stones and other ornaments, then craft a bed for her. Afterwards, the young women gather as a group at one house and stay up all night with the Brideog.
Later in the evening, all the young men of the village come to visit the young women where they are gathered with the Brideog. They must ask permission to pass through the door into the home and they treat the young women and the Brideog with great respect. The next day the young women transport the doll to all the households in the village, where she is welcomed and honored.
The spirit of St. Brigid is believed to walk the land on the eve of Imbolc. In anticipation of her presence, each member of the all the village households will often leave an article of clothing or even a piece of cloth outside the door in the hope that Brigid will bless it.
Before retiring for the night, the head of the household approaches the burning hearth, smothers the smoldering fire and then makes sure to rake the ashes smooth. In the morning, she carefully examines the ashes, looking for a mark as a sign that Brigid has been among them. If the mark is there, the articles of clothing and pieces of cloth are retrieved from outside and are now believed to be imbued with powers of protection as well as healing.
Around 480 AD, Brigid founded a monastery at Kildare and is regarded as the original organizer of communal religious life for women in Ireland. Prior to this, women could be consecrated, but they lived in private homes. Brigid also founded an art school which included the working of metal as well as illumination of manuscripts.
She traveled extensively and as the story goes, she was visiting the bedside of a dying pagan chieftain. Sitting near his bed, she leaned over and picked up some rushes from the floor and began weaving a cross. The chieftain asked Brigid what she was doing, so she told him about Christ and explained the story of the cross. The dying man came to faith and asked to be baptized.
The cross of rushes, with its geometric spiraling arms, came to be known as St. Brigid's cross and is customarily made on her Feast Day. The cross is then blessed with Holy Water and with these words: May the blessing of God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost be on this Cross and on the place where it hangs and on everyone who looks on it.
Once the cross is blessed, it is given a place of honor on the front door and is left there all year long, until the next St. Brigid's Day when it is burned and replaced.
If you or your family are of Irish heritage (or even if you're not!) these unusual crosses are fun to make, for children and adults alike. Here are simple instructions from the Irish Peatland Conservation Council:
Brigid is the patron saint of many: "babies; blacksmiths; boatmen; brewers; cattle; chicken farmers; children whose parents are not married; children with abusive fathers; children born into abusive unions; Clan Douglas, dairymaids; dairy workers; fugitives; infants; Ireland; Leinster, mariners; midwives; milk maids; nuns; poets; poor; poultry farmers; poultry raisers; printing presses; sailors; scholars; travellers; and watermen!"
Brigid died in AD 525 at her Kildare monastery. In her memory, her Sisters tended a fire at the convent, which burned continuously for centuries and was not extinguished until AD 1220. At some point, it was rekindled and burned for another 400 years!

Currently, my head is still spinning and on the verge of exploding, but I will try to carry on in some sort of normal condition and spare you the mess my head is in. Ya see, I went to a fabulous leadership conference in Kansas City at the end of last week and my sweet little head is still spinning. Lord, please settle it down.
Carry on.
I have been listening to week 6 of Stepping Up on CD before our group meets Wednesday morning and Miss Beth Moore touched on something so huge to me at this very moment.
The weary traveler.
I am a literal weary traveler fresh from the airport, but aren't we all travelers on this journey called life??
Who are you walking alongside that can spur you on, cheer you up, be your "go-to" person, and just simply encourage you when life gets dang hard??
Life can be this...
1. sudden family illness
2. sudden financial crisis
3. sudden marriage crisis
4. ongoing problems in a relationship with a child, parent, friend, spouse or even a co-worker
5. feeling drained, worn out, exhausted for a cause you feel so deeply about, but wonder where is your strength??
You totally get the idea don't you?? I can fall into so many of these and more. Can't you?? But, I am much better during the day when I have my "peoples" alongside me.
Hebrews 10:25 "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
We need some encouragement girls. Daily life is hard and I need to have some people, some fellow sojourners, some fellow pilgrims, that are going to walk alongside me and encourage me on the journey.
We are all called to encourage. If you don't think that encouragement is your gift....think again. Send someone a note that needs a little pick me up. We are called to be infused with encouragement.
I want to encourage others just as much as I want to receive it.
Be blessed today. Fill up on some Jesus and make sure you find yourself some encouraging friends beside you every.single.day. I'm praying for us all.

Whenever I'm tempted to think that I don't have the gift of encouragement, I'm reminded of all the times that I've been encouraged by people who would likely be tempted to think the same thing about themselves. For me, it's really all about being present in the moment, and stepping out when I feel that little nudge in my spirit. Opportunities are everywhere. Thanks for the reminder, Fran.

Faceting the USFG Novice Stone - The Apex
Rather than discussing faceting as a topic in general or specific aspects of faceting without regard for a specific design/cut as we have done in past programs, this program is designed and intended to be specific to a single cutting pattern. There is more to the design of this program. The desire is that the club faceters make an attempt at or start cutting a chosen pattern BEFORE the meeting! In this way, we can come to the meeting with real life questions and dilemmas that we may have encountered when cutting the same stone. I believe that this is a way to aide and better each members cutting experience and quality of their end product, by relying on each other. We will be discussing specific issues and solutions that each faceter encountered while cutting the specific pattern that can be taken back to the studio and applied to their pattern as well as to our general faceting knowledge.
For a project pattern, I chose the 2017 USFG single stone competition pattern, The Apex. The Apex was chosen for several reasons. One, it is a simple uncomplicated stone with a limited number of facets and definite meets. Two, as the USFG novice competition stone, I am in the hopes that the group cutting experience/discussion of the pattern will continue beyond the meeting and prompt our faceting members to become inspired and submit their completed stones to the USFG competition as Keith did last year, and Fred has in the past. Additionally, I hope that hearing and seeing real life faceting taking place and issues being resolved in a group setting will inspire non-faceting members to give Faceting a try. No, not the simple Try-it Try, but to actually cut your first stone! I know, Faceting is not for everyone and I do not intend for it to be presented as such, but if you are in this club it is worth a REAL try. Lookingat the art for the first time faceting is, -- well its sort of scarry! All that Math and sooo precise, how can I ever do it! All of the precision, "apparent" geometry/math involved in the diagrams and foreign terminology often scares potential cutters into not Trying. In reality, most of the math and numbers are already figured out for you. It is called a cutting diagram for a reason. You really just need to be able to match the numbers on the cutting diagram with those on the faceting machine.
I learned faceting without even using the numeric scale, just the long and short lines used to cut a standard round brilliant on a 96 index wheel! No numbers, only had to remember long or short all the way around. Many faceting patterns break down into a very similar repetitive "rhythm" where math does not even need to come into play. The most difficult the math gets is: "The diagram says set the machine at index 8, so just set the index wheel at 8"- whoa!!, there is no 8 on the index wheel so what do I do! Well, first off, you do not panic. You look. There is a 6 and a 12 with 6 notches in-between and a convenient short line at the half point, though unmarked that makes it 9. You easily set the index at 8 by moving it 2 notches past the 6, ! Before the mid-point 9. Easy as can be, and all the math needed to facet. - Really, that is as difficult as the math and geometry gets.

I'm interested in getting a small web application started fairly quickly. This web app might change quickly or need to scale up.
At the same time, my day job requires I learn Java EE. I am already experienced with Java SE. So it seems natural to use Java EE both at work and in my web project, except I'm concerned about getting this done quickly (in a couple months).
Should I learn Ruby on Rails to start my project, or use Java EE? It seems RoR would be quicker, except learning RoR and Java EE at the same time might be a bad idea.
So, should I learn RoR just for my web app, even though I'll already be learning Java EE at my day job, or might I be more effective focusing on Java EE technology for both?

Well, I finished my first three days of rehab on Friday and boy was I tired at the end of that day!! Needless to say, Charley and I have both been resting as much as possible yesterday and today even though we had to relocate our 5er yesterday. That did not take too long. We had to get into a more permanent site since we are here for a while.
I hope that I have rested enough t get me prepared for 5 straight days of rehab this week! And I hope that I continue to do well. The therapists at the fitness center keep telling me I am but I am not sure if that is just to motivate me or if they really mean it!!
By the way, I have not reported on Cheyenne and Sadie since we got here and that is my fault entirely!! They both love it here in this campground. They cannot stop begging to go outside for walks so that they can see all the squirrels and deer that are in the park. Especially the squirrels!!!
We just got a new camera recently that will allow us to exchange lenses and take better shots from long distances. It is a Canon just like our other two and we cannot wait to try it out.
Charley took me into Carrboro yesterday to find a new pair of shoes for my rehab. The ones I had were too heavy and were designed more for hiking than walking. The new ones should help me out at least a little. Charley also got a couple of pair of exercise shorts (since he left most of his summer wear in SC). He is waiting for a call from the fitness center about joining so that he can exercise too.
Will report around mid-week on how things are going!! Thanks for visiting!!

Leopards are an amazing sighting any day and almost a guarantee in the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, nicknamed the Valley of the Leopard. Whether sleeping in trees, wandering around woodlands, hunting, mating or fighting, we thought we had seen it all this year.
However, the South Luangwa still had more in store for Norman Carr Safaris repeat guest, Meike Kern. After tea and biscuits on her morning drive, she was heading back to Kapani with her guide, Charles, when they stumbled across 15 crocodiles lying on the bank of the river, two of which were enormous dominant crocodiles enjoying their snack of fresh puku.
There was nothing too remarkable about this sighting until one of the well-known male leopards spiced things up a bit. This big male only has one eye and is often seen mating with various females in the area. He decided he fancied a bit of the crocodiles' mid-morning feast so he slowly crept towards them and tried to steal the food right from their jaws.
Sadly he failed and snuck off to sit in the shade to work on some different tactics. He made another three attempts to sneak up on the crocs and steal their food – each attack was from a different angle but he was never quite fast enough.
Reluctantly, he had to give up when all the food had been eaten. However, the whole experience still served as another wonderful reminder of why going on safari gets in your blood. Every day is different; you never know what to expect and you never really can get enough!

Article Title
The article discusses a court case in which decision of Roberts Court on Confrontation Clause was overruled by the Crawford Court. It states that Confrontation Clause provides the right of vigorous cross-examination, right to face-to-face presentation of witnesses and the right to severance to the criminal defendant. It highlights several Payne-Parenthood factors supporting the overruling of Crawford including fewer disturbances in reliance interests, dissenting justices and judicial fudging.

Employees are overloaded and anxious. They are turning to their workplaces to find strategies to combat stress and protect themselves from its negative impact.
We read about elaborate wellness programs including extensive health assessments, on-site fitness and daycare facilities, and supportive cafeteria programs. These are great programs, but may be way outside the capabilities of a small business. According to a report by the National Small Business Association and Humana, 93% of small businesses said that the health of their employees was important to their bottom lines, but just 22% offered a comprehensive wellness program. Many small businesses are wondering how they can have an impact on employee health and productivity when there are fewer people to help organize these programs and smaller budgets to work with.
Employees Are Overwhelmed And It's Impacting Productivity
Just like larger businesses, stress is impacting small business employees. The Sun Life Financial Canadian Health Index Report, found that three-quarters of respondents reported experiencing excessive or uncomfortable levels of stress and the youngest age groups, in the prime of their working careers, were the hardest hit: 18-24 (90%) and 25-34 (80%). The APA Stress In America survey, also showed that Millennials were more stressed than their older counterparts and reported, not surprisingly, that their top stressors were work (76%), money (73%) and relationships (59%).
Nearly half of all employees reported that the stress from a personal problem negatively impacted their work performance, according to "Stressed at Work: What We Can Learn From EAP Utilization," a study from Bensinger, DuPont and Associates (BDA). The study found that stress most often lead to difficulty concentrating, absenteeism and poor work quality.
Untreated mental health issues can impact the small business organization in a number of ways:
• Disability premiums, rising health and benefits costs and expenses
• Productivity and an increase absenteeism, 'presenteeism' and turnover
• Safety concerns around accidents, incidents and injuries
• Lowered workplace morale and increased conflict and grievances
Employees Need Information And Support
A Ceridian survey found that although 90% of Canadian organizations believe mental health is an important part of a health and wellness strategy, but only 22% of respondents believe the services they have in place are adequate. Next steps for employers of all sizes is to identify and implement appropriate preventative solutions to adequately support the mental health of their employees.
Employees can progress from feeling excessively stressed to experiencing a mental illness. 12% of current employees have a diagnoseable mental illness. Mental illness is the fastest-growing reason for short and long-term disability claims, accounting for about 30% in Canada. In the APA Stress in America report, 31% of people who categorized themselves as suffering from high stress never discussed stress management with their health care provider. Moreover, 32% of believed it is very or extremely important to talk with their health care providers about stress management, but only 17% reported that these conversations were happening often or always. 17% of people with a mental illness delayed taking action because they were afraid of the reaction they may get from family and friends. (Conference Board Leger National Survey on Depression).
Management Education Is Key
For small businesses, awareness training of managers is very important in supporting the health and wellness of the employees within their company. Partners For Mental Health found that 2/3rds of Canadians said that they would not have an open discussion with their boss about their mental illness. The fear and stigma that still exists around mental health and mental illness prevents employees from seeking help from professionals or their workplace supporters. So, managers need to watch changes that may be occurring among their workers such as:
• disorganized thinking
• difficulty expressing themselves
• decreased attention and/or concentration
• lack of personal hygiene
• aggression toward themselves or others
• strained interpersonal relationships
• repeated short-term absences
• frequent tardiness, frequent breaks
• requests for days off for unusual reasons
• decreased interest in work
• inferior quality of work or decreased quantity of work compared to usual performance
• discussions about a new situation or multiple life changes in a short period of time
Any significant change in the person's verbal and/or non-verbal behaviour, attitude or performance warrants attention, as does any change involving persistent, specific and uncharacteristic signs that last more than two weeks.
Addressing Stress Is A Priority
90% of Ceridian respondents cited "addressing stress" as their organization's most significant mental health concern. Yet, an Ipsos-Reid survey found that only 1 out of 3 managers have been trained to identify and help their employees deal with mental health issues like depression. The Ceridian survey found that the top three priorities for mental health programs were employee training on the issues, wellness programs to promote self-care and education to managers in understanding mental health issues. Small businesses need to be laser-focused on these three priorities, especially around training and education.
Psychological Health and Safety
For small business, additional information and support can be found in the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace, which was prepared by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and the Bureau de normalisation du Québec, with funding from the Mental Health Commission of Canada, the federal government, Bell Canada and the Great-West Life Centre for Mental Health in the Workplace. It calls upon employers to do the following:
• draft a Psychological Health and Safety policy
• develop and implement a system to implement that policy
• identify, assess and reduce the risk of Psychological Health and Safety hazards
• investigate Psychological Health and Safety incidents
• monitor, audit and improve the Psychological Health and Safety system
Canadian companies, from 10 to 10,000 employees, can now use this free, standardized tool to help them tackle the issue, by creating workplaces that promote mental health, reduce stress and support employees dealing with mental illness.
A Virgin Health Miles survey, of almost 10,000 people, shows that regardless of effectiveness, most employees said that wellness programs were an overall positive influence on the office culture (70%) and that participating in the programs helped their relationships both inside and outside of the workplace (57.5%).
Employees are experiencing the impact of stress on their lives and they are turning to their workplaces to find support and strategies. As a small business, it is easy to feel frustrated when trying to develop a comprehensive wellness plan, as both financial and human resources are limited. Understanding the impact that stress plays in your workplace and helping your team leaders understand how they can support their employees, are important first steps in developing a psychologically healthy workplace. Make use of the free tools that are available, like the Psychological Health and Safety standard. Start conversations around how to support and reduce the stigma of mental health and mental illness. Communicate what supports and programs are available and add programs that are going to enhance the employee's need for information and support. Small business can be very effective in developing wellness programs that target the specific needs of their unique workplaces if they become laser-focused in their offerings.

"For most people,
their spiritual teacher
is their suffering.
Because eventually
the suffering
brings about
~Eckhart Tolle
People will only allow so much pain in their life
before they look for something to relieve that pain.
Whether it be physical, mental, or emotional pain, each of these are all forms of discomfort.
Discomfort ignored for long enough eventually leads to varied levels of pain and suffering.
Whether you then seek out traditional medicine, or you lean towards and unconventional method of relief may depend on a lot of things.
Sometimes Tylenol alone takes care of what is ailing you. Sometimes you have to go deeper into your medicine cabinet, or have to seek out a medical specialist to help you.
Even then, when pain is relieved on a topical level, there are often underlying causes of the condition and suffering remains because of it.
At some point the deeper issue comes to the fore front enough to examine it,
and when resolved – ends the suffering.
At the point where someone becomes "AWARE" of the deeper level, or real issue, and knows what to do about it – (often forgiveness is involved)
allows the end of that suffering to increase their awareness accordingly.

With the knowledge that the speed of light is constant and the same for every reference frame, and that no object can travel at the speed of light or faster than the speed of light in any reference frame, we ask ourselves the question: what happens when two spaceships leave from a space station in opposite directions and both reach a constant speed of 0.95c (with c the speed of light) relative to that space station? In the space station's reference frame, the two ships travel at 2 \cdot 0.95c = 1.9c relative to each other. This doesn't violate relativity, as neither spaceship is actually going at or faster than the speed of light. But, ignoring the effects of relativity, in the reference frame of either spaceship, the other ship would appear to travel at 1.9c. This would violate relativity!
Applying the equations we found before, we will find out what actually happens.
Let's call the spaceship that travels to the "left" of the space station ship A, and the other ship that travels to the "right", ship B. As pointed out, from the point of view of an observer at the space station the ships separate with a speed of 1.9c. This is not what an observer at either ship sees.
We choose our coordinate systems such that the ships travel along the X-axis. We take two reference frames, one for the space station and one for ship A. Seen from the reference frame of the space station, ship A moves with velocity v_{A} = -0.95c (0.95c in the negative X-direction).
We create a coordinate system k_A with coordinates (x', t') corresponding to ship A's reference frame. In k_A, ship A is at x' = 0 and at rest. We create a second coordinate system k_S with coordinates (x, t) that corresponds to the space station's reference frame. In k_S, the space station is at x = 0 and at rest. Assume that at t = 0, both ships are at x = 0 (i.e., the space station and both ships are at the exact same position).
As seen in this post, we have:
t' &= \gamma (t – v_{A} x / c^2) \\
x' &= \gamma (x – v_{A} t)
With \gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 – v_{A}^2 / c^2}}, the Lorentz factor.
We know that ship B is traveling with velocity v_{B} = 0.95c in system k_S. So, we have x = v_{B} t. Required is the velocity of ship B in system k_A. We have:
t' &= \gamma (t – v_{A} x / c^2) = \gamma (t – v_{A} v_{B} t / c^2) \\
x' &= \gamma (x – v_{A} t) = \gamma(v_{B} t – v_{A} t)
Then, the velocity v' of ship B in system k_A is the derivative of B's position x' as function of time t' in k_A:
v' &= \frac{d x'}{d t'} = \frac{d \gamma(v_{B} t – v_{A} t)}{d \gamma (t – v_{A} v_{B} t / c^2)} \\
&= \frac{d (v_{B} t – v_{A} t)}{d (t – v_{A} v_{B} t / c^2)} \\
&= \frac{v_{B} – v_{A}}{1 – v_{A} v_{B} / c^2}
So, the velocity v' of ship B as seen from ship A is:
v' &= \frac{v_{B} – v_{A}}{1 – v_{A} v_{B} / c^2} \\
&= \frac{0.95c – – 0.95c}{1 – -0.95c \cdot 0.95c / c^2} \\
&\approx 0.9987 c
This is slower than the speed of light!
In these equations, we have v_{A} < 0, as it was moving to the left of the space station. If we take v = -v_{A} and u = v_{B}, we get:
s = \frac{v + u}{1 + v u / c^2}
Which is the general velocity-addition formula in special relativity. v and u have to be in a straight line (collinear) and the formula assumes they are in opposite direction. Often it is described as the velocity s an observer A sees an object C move at, when C is seen to move at velocity u by observer B, and B is seen to move at velocity v by A. Below is a plot of the equation, with s, v and u in fractions of the speed of light.

This morning's reading from Acts made me nostalgic for one of the high points in my life, the summer I turned 19, when I made my first trip to Europe, visiting London and Athens – I actually turned 19 the day we left Athens to fly back to London, so I spent some of my 19th birthday in both cities.
Each city was thrilling: London in a comfortable way that made me feel at home the moment the plane's wheels touched the tarmac, but Athens, ah, Athens – she was alien and familiar at the same time (it took me about two days to figure out there weren't arguments on every street corner; that was the way conversation was conducted in Athens: with much shouting and waving of hands). I was looking, as I had been in London, at the reality of things I had seen all my life in pictures, but whereas London – and most of England – felt as though she were mine – a feeling that has never faded, through a few trips back I was fortunate enough to make – Athens was not mine and never would be. But she put me in touch with something deep in my spirit, something that touched faith and history, both.
Climbing the Acropolis and looking down at the Aeropagus, where, according to Acts, St. Paul made his speech about the altar to the Unknown God, weaving the beauties of classical tradition into a statement of his own faith, made me feel close to the early church in a new and deeper way, and to the one "in whom we live and move and have our being." I have my issues with Paul, but there are also things that make me forgive him; that speech is one.
Eight years later, during the only period (a short one) in my life when I tried my hand at rhymed verse, I wrote a poem about the experience, and the longing, in Shakespearean sonnet form:
Acropolis 1973/1981
I see it yet within my mind, and still, I wish to stand and see it yet again: A testament of ancient mind and will, I wish to see it now as I did then,
To watch the marble white against the sky, Which from the reaching columns stands apart, To trace its peopled borders with my eye, And learn anew its beauty with my heart.
I long to feel once more Athen'ian sun, To see my dream a-shimmer in her heat, And watch the rose-gold hue of ev'ning come, And night-lit temples floating o'er the street,
To walk again the ways which once I trod, And with St. Paul to praise the Unknown God.

OAKLAND (CBS SF) — Oakland's computer science and technology students got some much-needed financial support at Rev. Jesse Jackson's PUSHTech2020 Summit.
The April 19 event included a workshop with speakers from Google, eBay, Oracle and a dozen other tech companies in Palo Alto, and a computer science showcase at Oakland Technical High School.
Jackson raised $42,500 to support scholarships and Computer Science programs in the Oakland Unified School District.
Microsoft, Intel and 11 West Partners all matched a $10,000 donation from RainbowPush. Comcast donated an additional $2,500.
"I am extremely proud and honored to present this contribution to Oakland's students," Rev. Jackson said. "Nobody is more deserving. If their minds can conceive it, their hearts can believe it, I know they can achieve anything in the world. Keep PUSHing for success and excellence."
Oakland schools have set a goal that all PreK-through-12 students have access to rigorous computer science education by 2020. So far the number of OUSD students in CS-Tech programs has increased 1000 percent. Nearly half of those students are girls, a third African-American, and 38 percent identify as Latino.
"Because OUSD is located in the technology capital of the world, we know how much tech firms need highly qualified computer programmers and engineers," said Interim Superintendent Devin Dillon. "We are on the right track in exposing an exponentially growing number of our students to computer science, and we are confident that some OUSD students will be the tech leaders of tomorrow."

All the Polls that Fit . . . .
I don't get all my news from "The Daily Show," but last night's appearance by pollster John Zogby (the only guy who got it right four years ago) had me making late night phone calls to friends.
Jon Stewart asked Zogby who is going to win and he said, "Kerry," without equivocating. His reason? Bush is not polling high enough for an incumbent. In fact, as Zogby said, if the election were between "Bush" and "Not Bush," "Not Bush" would win going away. "Not Bush" might even beat Kerry.
Of course, a lot of the polls say something else.
But this election has raised so many questions about the whole art/science of polling . . . and the rollercoaster ride is so anxiety-producing . . . and, anyway, I'm not going to change my vote or the passion behind it . . . And so I'm officially adopting this strategy through Tuesday:
I only believe polls that make me feel better.

People may find it very difficult to pay for their health insurance premiums every month. Not sure if there are penalties for not having health insurance. Trump's administration was trying to do away with Obamacare, but was not successful, especially not being able to put some other health plan in its place. People need to protect their finances for the future and if they were to have a medical emergency, it could wipe out all that money they have been saving. Some say there are short term policies and they usually last for up to 3 months and can be prolonged for 9 months. President Trump wanted to implement a short term health insurance policy for the people of the United States, but this has not been accepted by Congress and therefore there is no such policy available at this time. We, as consumers, need to look carefully at all the short term health insurance insurance plans that are available and which ones will fit your medical concerns. Those who cannot get a short term policy may need to get a Cobra issued health policy and the cost of these policies will be determined by their individual income if single or the total income for a family. Find short term health insurance plans.
Really searching these health care policies is a must these days. They need to be looked at carefully to see what illnesses are covered and also what diseases that may come about in the future. Each time a new child is born, the policy should be looked at carefully and add the new member onto the policy so they will be covered in the future. It's your life and your money that should be a big consideration when determining what health insurance policy you decide to choose.When one retires at the age of 65, one is eligible for Medicare. Many people are so glad to finally get Medicare, since the health insurance they have been paying has gone up each year and may be putting a burden on their finances. Medicare Part A will help pay for your doctor visits and Medicare Part B will help with hospital costs. The only problem with Medicare is it will only pay 80% of the medical expenses and the remaining 20% will be up to you. Medicare Part D is the plan to help pay for prescriptions you may need. There are Medicare Supplemental Plans to help pay for the 20% Medicare does not cover.

The Fairmont Royal Pavilion Resort in Mt. Standfast, St. James has been sold to the Westmont Hospitality Group. This sale comes as a big surprise since as recently as August of last year its former owner Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal was in Barbados for tourism investment talks with government officials and lauded the Royal Pavilion as "The Jewel in the Crown of Barbados." It is now clear that it was a jewel he was looking to unload. The Prince owned the Royal Pavilion though his company, Kingdom Hotels which owned Fairmont Hotels in a joint venture with a US based company - Colony Capital. Through his company he also owns the Four Seasons hotel brand which will manage to resort being constructed at the Black Rock, St. Michael site of the former Paradise Beach Club site.
Westmont Hospitality Group has secured a US$70 million loan to buy, renovate and expand the 75-room Royal Pavilion. It is not known whether resort will still fly the Fairmont flag on completion in a management arrangement with Fairmont. The resort which began life as the Miramar Beach Hotel is one of the oldest on the west coast and was previously also owned by Michael Pemberton, the force behind the Four Seasons project. It was during his watch the name of the resort was changed from Miramar to Royal Pavilion. He also oversaw significant renovations and expansion of the resort as well as at the property next door, Glitter Bay, which he also owned at the time.
