An Interview with Greg Guma
In 2003, he published Uneasy Empire: Repression, Globalization, And What We Can Do. Even though the book was released 14 years ago, Guma feels the trends and dynamics he dissected then remain relevant today.
Question: In "Uneasy Empire" you talked about the growth of an American Empire and the dominance of organizations like the North American Free Trade Agreement, the World Trade Organization and huge corporations in that empire. You see corporate globalization as crushing the power of the individual and placing it in the hands of transnational corporations and governing bodies that work on their behalf. Are you saying something about scale in our economy?
"Scale is an issue on a number of levels," Guma said. "The world government we see around us seems to be in a period of realignment, and some of the old architecture is being taken down. Uneasy Empire is a globalist perspective. There are many problems that transcend national solutions. A global governance regime to handle this would be very big, but the real issues are access and accountability. Donald Trump is currently trying to establish an alliance of rogue states. He's also continuing a long-term centralization of power, even though it's based on ad-hoc relationships among power groups.
"Some of Trump's paranoia about China is sincere. There are problems posed by China's rise, but the models that dominated in the past have been threatened by corporate globalization. This scares many people. There was a challenge about 15-years ago to all of this (beginning with the Seattle WTO protests). It reached a high water mark before 9/11. Since then there has been a populist upheaval in response to the forces that control our lives and this in turn has led to a resurgence in authoritarianism. It often seems like the United Nations is irrelevant in all of this. But there is a chance for a democratic globalist solution if we reform those institutions. The authoritarian model is destined to fail."
Guma feels President Donald Trump's nationalist-populist style of politics and the left leaning crowd behind Senator Bernie Sanders are both reacting against the type of globalism that only benefits corporate America. However, Guma also thinks Trump's administration is accelerating this trend.
"Trump's regime is radical," Guma said. "He's letting many positions go unfilled and putting people in charge of agencies who want to destroy them. There has been an increase in smaller wars in the past 30 years. This helps companies associated with the defense industry and defense contractors. Going forward, I think we'll see more small wars, environmental refugees and competition for resources. We know we need to establish bonds in our communities and build a different future, but right now we are stuck psychologically."
Question: I'll bet you feel the military-industrial complex is very much a part of the trends you are talking about in "Uneasy Empire: Repression, Globalization and What We Can Do?"
"The U.S. as a declining hegemon," Guma said, "and will become more of a mercenary state. We have matured as a global power. We once used soft power solutions like the Marshall Plan, aide and trade, but now we're moving more and more toward military solutions. The US was considered a good partner in the past and there was more mutual respect. But Trump is accelerating a trend that would have happened anyway: He's making us untrustworthy.
"Nation building is not something we do anymore. The American empire advanced through diplomacy and trade. Now we have a small arms race going on. We see the transfer of weapons to other countries and more arms proliferation. When you deconstruct a regime and you don't have anything to put in its place you create a lot of chaos. This is a phenomena of growth and decay. We're seeing it now in the decay of the corporate global system. Something will need to be built in its wake."
Question: Now that we've heard the bad part, what do you recommend to combat the trends you've dissected?
"It's going to happen at the local level," he said. "It's good to have an eye on the big picture, but where we should spend our effort is where we live and where we can see change occur. This was a lesson I lived in Burlington, Vermont. In doing the peace work we did, we thought we would improve our lives. We were able to change the local culture and also have a ripple effect that changed the state."
Since the late 1960s, Vermont citizens have created an economy with a strong local flavor. There are a number of consumer cooperatives, community based agriculture projects, local businesses, alternative media outlets and social action oriented non-profits in the state. People worked on the local level for a new type of economy and Guma feels it created something better.
"We had an influx of new people in the 60's and 70's," said Guma. "Then you see this proliferation of activity around the environmental movement and the peace movement. We pushed agendas at town meetings. Vermont has a strong tradition when it comes to Town Meeting, and we used it to put peace proposals onto the ballot. This gave people a model to look at and led to a more tolerant, open culture. You can create something local that will spread."
Question: I've heard people talk about thinking globally and acting locally. Can this work for those trying to create a more peaceful world?
"We did it here in Vermont," Guma said. "What we did was to use local initiatives to create something like our own foreign policy. We brought forward a series of initiatives to define what we wanted in a foreign policy. Local governments can have a big impact. We look stances on many issues. For example, we took an anti-interventionist stance on Latin America, opposed apartheid, and formed groups to educate citizens on these issues. We also had Sister City programs to promote tolerance and understanding. If you do this over a period of years it starts to change consciousness."
In addition to working in journalism, Guma also owned a bookstore that was often used as a hub of social activism and spearheaded the establishment of a peace and justice center in Burlington. He later worked as a coordinator of that center. Guma remembers the effectiveness of the 80's nuclear freeze movement. City councils in Vermont, and later around the country, passed resolutions promoting a freeze in the number of nuclear weapons in the United States' nuclear arsenal. Guma said a similar effort would be effective in the movement to ban nuclear weapons.
"The circumstances are totally different now due to the freeze movement of the 80's," he said. "People's ideas on nuclear arms changed. Even Ronald Reagan changed his mind. This was a real victory for the peace movement."

text: Managed Services & Outsourcing Red Cross tracks disaster relief with SharePoint selena mann @itworldca Published: January 6th, 2011The Red Cross has partnered with Microsoft Canada Corp. and is planning to use its SharePoint collaboration platform to help victims of disasters in countries like Haiti and Pakistan.The software will be used to improve communication on the ground and in the offices of the Red Cross. It will also keep consistent documentation of disasters and track supplies, which will in turn help people in need get supplies through disaster relief programs."In any disaster, quick response is crucial to stabilizing an environment. What Microsoft enabled us to do in Haiti was so successful; we've leveraged that same technology to help with disaster relief in Pakistan," said Almin Surani, chief information officer of the Canadian Red Cross.The Red Cross has a presence in 187 countries worldwide. With that come many employees and volunteers all over the world. SharePoint has made it easier for those employees to connect and share data, according to Surani. The software helps them decide where the need is greatest and what supplies are needed because workers in those countries can share whatever information they have on a disaster. For instance, in an earthquake, people may need shelter and medical equipment most; in this case people from the Red Cross know to send shelter items along with food and medical supplies.Microsoft has donated software such as Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint before. But now it has been successfully used to track volunteers and during disasters like last year's earthquake in Haiti. The Red Cross believes it has been successful and has helped them track the thousands of volunteers. Microsoft Canada says it can further be used to collaborate efforts between volunteers and track resources. However, representatives from the Red Cross say it is more about using the software to make information available to everyone in the Red Cross network."It's not as much about resource tracking," Surani said. "Now there are SharePoint portals for each disaster showing how many are affected by it and they are easily accessible."The Red Cross is now in talks with some of Microsoft Canada's partners and hoping to get more donations. The Red Cross does not want to release any information these company partner's names yet, as the deals have not been finalized. The Red Cross is also invited to conferences with other nongovernmental organizationsMicrosoft donated about $5 million dollars in software grants to the Red Cross. This is the biggest software exchange that has ever occurred in Canada, according to Matt Wolodarsky, SharePoint Product Manager. SharePoint is one of the fastest-growing servers in the world. There are 600,000 SharePoint developers worldwide, according to Microsoft. The Red Cross is not the only non-profit organization partnered with Microsoft. In 2009, the company provided about $20 million in software and cash to Canadian organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Kids Help Phone.

I can't tell you how excited I am!! My first blog entry! {Ok, a bit cheesy...but I'm excited...LOL}
This year has been an amazing journey for me. My beautiful little girl was born February 10th, and a few months later Baby's Breath Handmade was born.
After 11 long years in the corporate world, I decided to become a WAHM (Work at Home Mom). It was the best decision I ever made!! It has given me the opportunity to do what I love! Craft!
After having Lola, I started noticing that I didn't like anything the stores had to offer for moms, like diaper bags and changing sets...and for Lola, I could not find accessories that I loved. It was all the same. Nothing that made me jump for joy. I started Baby's Breath Handmade with baby wipe cases & my sister, Omayra, joined in on the venture with diaper cakes and crochet blankets. She decorated my baby shower with gorgeous diaper cakes as the table centerpieces! From there, I started to create photography props. After a few custom orders, the hair accessories were created.
I have a love for all things shabby chic, vintage and Parisian inspired! I take a lot of pride in my products and I aim to make them as unique as possible, always using the best materials the market has to offer. When you purchase from my shop, you'll love the experience of handmade!
It's been a lot of hard work and a lot of sleepless nights getting Baby's Breath Handmade started, but I can say that it has been worth it every step of the way!
So stop into our shop, take a look and share with your friends and family! Our accessories are suitable for ALL ages!! I hope you love my products just as much as I love making them!
Follow me on Facebook & Twitter for great deals, giveaways & more!!

Nonsynonymous T280M gene variant of CX3CR1 in South Indian population is associated with reduced risk for vascular disease in patients with diabetes mellitus
Author(s): S Sumi, Surya Ramachandran, V Raman Kutty, Maulin M Patel, TN Anand, Ajit Mullassari and CC Kartha*
Background: Vascular inflammation leading to coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The chemokine receptor CX3CR1 is a key regulator in vascular injuryrelated inflammation. Objective: The authors examined the T280M and V249I gene variants of the CX3CR1 gene in patients with T2DM, CAD and CAD associated with T2DM, to understand the effect of these polymorphisms on the disease phenotype. Methods: Whole blood samples were collected from 913 South Indian subjects comprising 160 patients with T2DM, 284 with T2DM and CAD, 198 with CAD and 271 healthy subjects.

I had told my kids I would write the story of my life for them. I even set up a notebook to put the memories in. I titled it "This is Me". But at 78 I have so many memories and due to a small stroke many years ago, there are some foggy areas of the past. I am hoping with the guidance of this course I will be able to give my children some idea of the world I grew up in and how it shaped me. There are so many stories it's hard to know what and where to put them.
I doubt I'll ever attempt to publish any of these stories, but they do open up avenues for the fiction I write and maybe I'll publish one of those.

SIS hosts food drive for hungry students
Shelton Intermediate School doesn't play around when it comes to doing food drives.
With the holiday season in full swing, the intermediate school's student council and student affairs teams decided to jump into action to help collect food for students whose families cannot afford meals this Thanksgiving.
The two groups of students have been collecting non-perishable items for the past few weeks to be donated to students' families that have filled out an application.
Sean Martin, SIS vice president of student affairs, said the holiday season is the perfect time to give back, but not the only time people should be thinking about the less fortunate.
"A lot of people take what they have for granted, and now's a perfect time to really reflect on the amount of people who either don't have a home or family to share the holidays with," said Sean.
He added that he recalls volunteering at the Spooner House with his family, bringing breakfast to those who were guests at the shelter and seeing the impact it had.
"They all had smiles on their faces and it made us feel good knowing that they had warm stuff in their belly during the wintertime, especially the kids," said Sean.
Lia Fadiman, president of Student Council, said aside from Thanksgiving bringing up awkward political conversations, it also is a time to realize that the misfortune of not being able to afford a holiday meal can happen to anyone.
"It's really easy to forget how lucky you are. If you have food, a house and people around you who care about you, you're very fortunate," said Lia. "A lot of people take what they have for granted, and now's a perfect time to really reflect on the amount of people who either don't have a home or family to share the holidays with.
"It's important for people to remember who they are and where they came from, while also realizing that it could happen to anyone where you end up in a situation where you are in need. You'd want someone to help you."
Vice President of Student Council Narmer Bazile said Thanksgiving is a time to relax, take a break from life's stresses, be thankful for everything you have, and he joined the school's effort because he wanted to take the opportunity to help his fellow classmates.
While some students celebrate the holidays by shopping with family or participating in a game of football while waiting for a meal, Shelton Intermediate School eighth grader Erieana Pappano said she and her mother bake cookies to donate to local homeless shelters.
"We bake around six or seven dozen trays of cookies. Maybe two or three are for our family, but the others we take to shelters in the New Haven and Bridgeport area.
Mother and I bake cookies. They drop a portion off to local homeless shelters around Bridgeport and New Haven. It physically and emotionally hurts me to see people in need. People sometimes assume that there's more the person could be doing or ask, Why don't they get a job, but many times the circumstances are out of their control. I want to do everything I can to help out the less fortunate."
The school will be holding another food drive in April and will release details on how to donate as the starting date approaches.
For those interested in making a donation or volunteering at the Spooner House, Development Officer Kate Pipa said the best way is to stop by between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

While searching high and low for ideas for my daughter's upcoming princess party, I stumbled accross this charming Tea Party in the Garden by Michelle of Cakewalk Baking and knew I had to share. It reminds me of my sweet friend Aunt Spicy , our fun memories together and this cute Cath Kidston keychain she gave me (which I adore). Michelle describes this fun event in such a sweet way, I thought it best she describe her Tea Party to you,
The ritual of having tea has been important to me since I was a little girl. Many of my childhood afternoons were spent sitting around my grandmother's dining room table, sipping milky tea and eating her delicious homemade treats. When she passed away many years ago, I was lucky enough to inherit some of her bone china tea cups which I cherish. Though I am still a daily tea drinker, I rarely have the occasion to break out all of my fancy things. With warm Spring weather (though unpredictable – we had to reschedule once due to rain) and an abundance flowers in our garden, it was the perfect excuse to have a tea party. I kept it small with 5 moms and their children and it was truly delightful afternoon of sipping tea and enjoying goodies. Many thanks to Becca of the fabulous Birthday Girl blog who designed the invites & menus, crafted the cute faux fire and helped out with the styling and Sherry Heck for taking all of the beautiful photos.
Menu:: Tea sandwiches: curried chicken, egg salad, cucumber, caramelized onion & goat cheese, and peanut butter & jam
Sweets: Scones with homemade jam & lemon curd, almond raspberry petit fours, lemon bars, strawberry mini cupcakes, white chocolate cupcakes, raspberry tartlets, meringues, vanilla bean shortbread cookies and mini donuts.

and was he very brave?
indeed, he was, brave and strong and
so handsome it made us almost cry
why would you cry, mummy?
not sad tears, mind you, but tears
that were proud and full of joy
sometimes, as you will see, very strong
feelings sometimes cannot be kept
inside your heart, but they must find
their way out and up into the sky
will i see him again?
i see him in your baby brother's face
and in the lights of the skies at night
sometimes i think i hear him still calling
my name and i want to go to him
you won't leave me though, will you mummy?
no never, my sweet
he would not want it, nor would i
he lives in the deepest woods
in the falling snow
in the silence of the night
and the brilliance of your eyes
does he love us still, do you think?
he loves us forever and a half
and he will always be here
when we think of him
and call him home

Where to start along with an Essay in a Student which has Only Began to Analyze
Where to start along with an Essay in a Student which has Only Began to Analyze
"Where do I begin?!" is just about the most frequent question learners have about the university composition. It isn't like anything you've prepared before. It's not just a twitter, and it's not an essay about " Expectations " or "Romeo and Juliet." It's anything in-between: qualified AND personal. How will you bottom the line? I will include that combo in websites that are future. For the time being, listed below are 5 suggestions to help you begin creating the college composition that is dreaded.
1. Do not begin at the beginning. Write ideas, facts, or any arbitrary probable stories while they come to you. On joining them later, you're able to work. Possibly (and extremely probable) you will produce the very best phrases of your dissertation only after a fantastic detail of free-writing. Feel free to use any structure that performs foryou within the thinking point – it could be simply a term, an overview, or bullet-points or two. Your target is merely to obtain just as much down on paper as you can.
2. Consult a friend to appointment you. Find somebody you understand and trust to ask you many inquiries about your passions, experiences, interests, writers, TV shows, etc. That Is far more efficient compared to extensive (and scary!) question: "What would you like regarding your lifetime?" After having this focused appointment, your "interviewer" will have a way to offer extended feedback on strengths your pursuits, and flaws. This is beneficial in figuring your essay matter out.
3. Use writing prompts. Filling in the blanks might help you conquer writeris stop. Ex. "I love ____ since it makes me experience ____." "A global matter that excites me is _____ because ______." "I love learning about ____ since ______."
4. writessay4me.co.uk Scan your first-alternative college's website. Because youare probably passionate about your first – faculty, looking its site over can help you figure themes out to talk about inside your dissertation. Then you should target your composition appropriately if the university focuses primarily on humanities or business administration level plans.
5. Create a list of your interests. You are going to notice the idea of passion pops up once or twice here. That is because enthusiasm is for participating writing essential. If you do not enjoy what-you're composing, the officials probably will not either. Around the other-hand, if you should be about whatever it's you've to go over obviously worked up, it really is less unlikely the representatives will be, too.

I have gotten more than a few pieces of this interesting rough from Nigeria over the years. It is really a pink crystal that has some faces that look they had a chomophore (trace element that effects color) diffused into some of it crystal faces. the pink and green happen to have the right relationship to mix into oranges and yellows. If there is too much to blend of one color with the other color, it remains visible in the gemstone.
With the posted standard round brilliant, you can see some residual green in the yellow around the girdle and pink as you tilt the stone. But the overall impression you get of this eye clean and bright gemstone is some shade of beige. This mixing certainly varies with the light. It weighs 4.40 fun carats.

Day 278
Patricia only had a few days before she had to head home, so she flew to Trinidad this morning. Craig and Louise decided to take the only other option, the "camioneta," a pickup truck that loads twelve lucky passengers in the bed and takes anywhere from six to twelve hours, depending on who you ask. I'll try to meet up with Craig and Louise in La Paz in a week or so.
A few of us walked down to the port today to try and drum up more interest in the canoes. We met a few more people who seemed interested, but nobody wanted to buy them for sure yet. I also tried to get some laundry done, but it didn't come back today as promised. Apparently, my clothes were too dirty and had to be washed several times. I can't imagine how that could happen. That made my decision to stick around town for another day an easy one. It's a nice place, but there's no Internet access, so I'd like to go soon.

Athens. An ancient, enchanting city, from which our modern day civilization was born. It is a city that has given us religion, democracy, art, philosophy, theater, and many other wonders. A city which celebrates and honors its history, all while keeping up with the modern day world. It's no wonder that Athens has fascinated people throughout the ages.
"Experience, travel – these are as education in themselves." – Euripides
My fascination with Greece and its history began as a child, when I discovered Greek mythology. This is a fascination that my oldest daughter now shares, as she has delved into Greek history this school year. It's no wonder that we both share a strong desire to explore this great country. To experience it, and deepen our education, as Euripides, a Greek writer of tragedy, expressed above. Although, her love of all things Greek stemmed from the movie, Mamma Mia. Between the music, and the scenery from that movie, I can hardly blame her. Unfortunately, she still has six years before she graduates. Therefore, when an opportunity arose in July 2015 for my husband and I to travel to Greece, we jumped at the opportunity….to figure out which places would be best to take my daughter in the future…of course… 😉
So there I was, about to fulfill a lifelong dream. It was time to begin planning…one of my favorite things to do. First stop….Athens….
After much researching about location, food, atmosphere, and cost….I decided upon the Herodion Hotel.
The Herodion Hotel is approximately 18 miles from the Athens International Airport. It is very easy to get to by means of the metro.
- After clearing customs and retrieving your luggage, you simply have to follow the very well marked signs that direct you towards the train. It is one level up from the arrivals hall.
- You cross a pedestrian bridge, and will see many ticket machines to purchase your ticket (around 8€pp).
- Take the train (Line 3) that goes in the direction of Aghia Marina.
- When you arrive at station, Syntagma, change from Line 3 to the Underground Red Line 2 in the direction towards Agios Dimitrios or Elliniko.
- Get off at the Akropoli Station, first stop.
- Choose the Makriyanni exit out of the station and take the escalator or elevator to the street level.
- Once on the street, head south, turn right onto Chatzichristou.
- Continue onto Rovertou Galli and you will see the Herodion Hotel on the right.
- Check-in, relax, and drink your first cup of Greek coffee
Seems fairly straight forward, doesn't it? We did great with the directions until we got to the street level, then I don't know what happened….Blame it on the 17 hrs of travel squished into a small seat and not sleeping, or the desperate need for food. Needless to say, we got a little turned around. Fortunately, there was a group of police on the side of the road that were more than happy to send us in the right direction. Once we were going in the right direction, it was super easy to find the hotel, and we never had a problem finding it later. That's why I think we just needed sleep, and food, and a very strong cup of Greek coffee.
Upon arrival, we were greeted very warmly by that famous Greek hospitality. We had arrived a bit before check-in, so we left our bags with the porter and went in search of our first Greek meal. There are a lot of great little cafes near the hotel. The food was phenomenal, and the people watching, entertaining…. More on that later. After we were re energized from our meal, we headed back to the hotel and were given the key to our room. We headed up, and the very hard working porter met us there with our bags.
Call it a blonde moment, but I don't really want to call it that, because even my husband was perplexed, and he has brown hair. Call it being ignorant as to the workings of European hotels, or maybe we were just tired, but no matter what we did, we could not figure out how to turn on the lights. I had thought that my husband and I were pretty intelligent individuals before this moment, and this was not our first time in Europe. Once the porter arrived, he showed us around our room, popped our room key into a slot in the wall, and on came the lights and the A/C. Brilliant!!! All of the subsequent hotels we stayed in had the same process to turn on the lights. It seems so ridiculous that we couldn't figure that out. So hopefully, my true confession will help you on your European holiday. Instead of looking like a hick from the sticks, you will look like the well-traveled woman, or man, of the world that I know you are.
Here are some pictures of our standard double room…..
We dropped our bags and headed to explore the rest of the hotel….
This hotel has a very modern, and trendy vibe about it. We loved the location of this hotel. It was on a quiet street, but just a short walk away from museums, art galleries, cafes, and lots of lovely little shops. We were able to walk to the Plaka and the Acropolis, and explore one of the great wonders of the ancient world. It was also very close to the Metro if we wanted to venture further away. The people who work at the Herodion treated us with the greatest of Greek hospitality, and the both the coffee and WiFi were the way I like it…strong. They offer a free American style breakfast. I wish I could comment on this from the viewpoint of a gluten free girl. That is part of the point of this blog after all. But sadly, we were so tired from our travels that we didn't wake until after breakfast was over, and we only had one night in this marvelous hotel. If you would like to see a sample of the menu for Point, the elegant rooftop bar and restaurant at the Herodion, click here. However, I can tell you the information I was given from the hotel when I was researching places to stay in Athens. They assured me that the chef would be most happy to help me find food safe for me to eat, and there were a lot of things on the menu that were naturally gluten free. Although I never ate at the hotel while we were there, after spending a week around Greece, I wholeheartedly believe that to be true. Everywhere we went, the chef was more than happy to help me find gluten free food…even creating whole new dishes just for me. The people of Greece truly want you to enjoy their culture, and food is a big part of that culture. I had many opportunities to eat things that I may have not ordered otherwise. This was because the chef was excited to share his love of Greek cuisine, and didn't want me to miss out on his great love.
Gluten Free or not, the Herodion Hotel is still a wonderful home base for exploring Athens. I look forward to staying there again!!

I mentioned to those who attended the recent Bible studies in our area on our Sabbath booklet that I really wanted to post on the blog about the section of the booklet that contained quotes from various churches about Sunday-keeping. Well, I'm finally making good! Here it is…
Saturday vs. Sunday
Statements from Other Churches
Jesus Christ said of the Pharisees, "'In vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men…. All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition" (Mark 7:7-9). Yet notice what other churches admit regarding their observance of Sunday instead of Saturday.
Stephen Keenan, A Doctinal Catechism, p. 174:
"Question: Have you any other way of proving that the Church has power to institute festivals of precept?
"Answer: Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her—she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day, a change for which there is no scriptural authority….
"Question: When Protestants do profane work upon Saturday… do they follow the Scripture as their only rule of faith…?
"Answer: On the contrary, they have only the authority of tradition for this practice. In profaning Saturday, they violate one of God's commandments, which He has never clearly abrogated, 'Remember thou keep holy the Sabbath.'"
The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, 3rd ed., p. 50:
"Question: Which is the Sabbath day?
"Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath day.
"Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
"Answer: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea [c. 363] transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday."
Catholic Press, Aug. 25, 1900
"Sunday is a Catholic institution, and… can be defended only on Catholic principles…. From beginning to end of Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first."
Charles Buck, A Theological Dictionary, "Sabbath":
"Sabbath in the Hebrew language signifies rest, and is the seventh day of the week… and it must be confessed that there is no law in the New Testament concerning the first day."
Clovis Chappell, Ten Rules for Living, p. 61:
"The reason we observe the first day instead of the seventh is based on no positive command. One will search the Scriptures in vain for authority for changing from the seventh day to the first."
The Christian at Work", April 19, 1883, and Jan. 1884:
"Some have tried to build the observance of Sunday upon Apostolic command, whereas the Apostles gave no command on the matter at all…. The truth is, so soon as we appeal to the litera scripta [literal writing] of the Bible, the Sabbatarians have the best of the argument."
Isaac William, D.D., Plain Sermons on the Catechism, vol. 1:
"Where are we told in Scripture that we are to keep the first day at all? We are commanded to keep the seventh; but we are nowhere commanded to keep the first day…. The reason why we keep the first day of the week holy instead of the seventh is for the same reason that we observe many other things, not because the Bible, but because the Church, has enjoined it."
Philip Carrington, Toronto Daily Star, Oct. 26, 1949:
"The Bible commandment says on the seventh day thou shalt rest. That is Saturday. Nowhere in the Bible is it laid down that worship should be done on Sunday."
Harold Lindsell (editor), Christianity Today, Nov. 5, 1976:
"There is nothing in Scripture that requires us to keep Sunday rather than Saturday as a holy day."
Finally, here is one more from earlier in the booklet. A well worn (and for good reason) quote from the 1876 text, Faith of Our Fathers, by famous American Catholic James Cardinal Gibbons:
Third—A rule of faith, or a competent guide to heaven, must be able to instruct in all the truths necessary for salvation. Now the Scriptures alone do not contain all the truths which a Christian is bound to believe, nor do they explicitly enjoin all the duties which he is obliged to practice. Not to mention other examples, is not, every Christian obliged to scantify Sunday and to abstain on that day from unnecessary servile work? Is not the observance of this law among the most prominent of our sacred duties? But you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify.
The Catholic Church correctly teaches that our Lord and His Apostles inculcated certain important duties of religion which are not recorded by the inspired writers.¹ For instance, most Christians pray to the Holy Ghost, a practice which is nowhere found in the Bible.
We must, therefore, conclude that the Scriptures alone cannot be a sufficient guide and rule of faith because they cannot, at any time, be within the reach of every inquirer; because they are not of themselves clear and intelligible even in matters of the highest importance, and because they do not contain all the truths necessary for salvation.
¹See John xxi.25; II.Thess.Ii.14.

Re: hedgie sneezing but no other signs of uri?
Yeah I'm going to try and see how she is tonight. Its not that I mind going to the vet, but she hates it. And I don't really like giving her medicine unless she needs it. It upsets her tummy a little. But I don't want to chance it.
Re: hedgie sneezing but no other signs of uri?
If you use a scented soap, maybe try using a non-scented one to see if that's what's bothering her. You could also try taking her off aspen and just using a fleece blanket or a sheet (no holes, rips, etc.) for a temporary liner to see if that helps. Sometimes animals can develop allergies to things like wooden bedding, or maybe these shavings (if you just changed them, maybe) are dustier than usual and it's bothering her. I would go ahead and make an appointment now while you're trying those changes, just so you have it set, and if she doesn't stop sneezing after you try changing a couple things, take her in just in case. A few sneezes don't sound terribly bad, but...URIs can quickly get worse, and it's good to catch them early, so personally, I'd rather err on the cautious side.
hedgie sneezing but no other signs of uri?
Hey guys so I know what the signs of a uri are, and I'm sorry to post, but I've looked at other posts and I'm still not sure what to do.
Fiona is two years old (almost...5 more days!). She is active around the house and in her wheel at night. She is fed 4 high quality cat foods and the occasional treat. Her bedding is aspen, but I am in the process of making her a new cage which will include fleece liners. The cage does not have heating now as her cage is always warm enough (although when it gets above 72 she seems to get to warm...she won't sleep with her blankets in her igloo and kinda just splats out on her wood chips).
Anyways, a few days ago, she sneezed twice while I had her out. But then nothing. Last night she sneezed again and seemed like she had a little stuffy nose, but only for a few minutes. Then she was breathing normal. She's still just as active and curious, her eating is normal, she is drinking normal, and her poop is fine. I watched her wheel a while last night and her breathing was normal (no sneezing or wheezing). Should I be concerned? I usually take her out after my shower...maybe she doesn't like my soap? I don't see visible mucous but it might be clear. Can't tell if she is licking her nose more than normal. Should I bring her to the vet? The earliest I can get her there is Friday =/

After getting engaged, one of the first things you should do is figure out at least a rough estimation of the guest list. The venue is the first thing you should book, and you'll need to know how many people you want to invite before making that decision, as it can affect your options.
Photo by Sam & Sola Lee Photography; Planning & Design by Callista & Company
Unfortunately, creating your guest list is also often the most contentious stage of the planning process and can regularly lead to resentment and hurt feelings. You have probably heard friends and family who were wed before you complain about how much their parents tried to add to the guest list – and if they're paying for the wedding, it can feel unavoidable! We find the best way to combat issues involving the guest list is by setting some ground rules before getting started. Below are our tips for creating a guest list that you won't regret.
- Split spots on the guest list evenly between both sets of parents, even if one side is paying. If you are covering the wedding yourself, it's fine for the couple getting married to have a bigger portion of the guest list.
- List everybody you would possibly consider inviting, then mark them with levels like A, B, and C. Depending on your venue and budget, you may only be able to invite those ranked A, or you may have the freedom to add more people. Do this before actually sending out invitations. Sending the invites in stages is a very risky move.
- Keep in mind that you must invite the spouses or live-in significant others of each guest.
- It is nice to let all bridal party members have a plus one, regardless of their relationship status. Otherwise, your plus-one rules should be consistent to everyone.
- Make a decision early about whether kids are invited, and consider having an age cutoff.
- Include everyone from the same group, i.e. all first cousins, every aunt and uncle, etc. Exceptions can be made if some live in a different country and you've never met, or haven't met since you were children. You and your sweetheart can have different rules on each side, depending on the closeness and size of your family.
- If you invite your coworkers, invite your entire department, or don't invite anyone. Alternately, stick to inviting people you regularly see outside of work, not just office happy hours!
- Don't invite people who you haven't talked to in over a year, as well as those you only see at other friends' events. If you wouldn't hang out with them one-on-one, you don't need to invite them to your wedding.
For more advice, discover what to decide in the first few days of wedding planning, find out how to balance your guests' needs with your own and learn how to address invitations for unmarried couples.

Biodiversity Offsets
Biodiversity offsets are measurable conservation outcomes that result from actions designed to compensate for significant residual biodiversity loss that arise through development projects. They are intended to be implemented only after all reasonable steps have been taken to avoid and minimise biodiversity loss at the development site i.e. they are the last step in the so-called mitigation hierarchy. Offsets aim to internalise the external costs of development by imposing a cost on the activities that cause biodiversity loss, and are based on the polluter pays approach (OECD, 2016).
The publication Biodiversity Offsets: Effective Design and Implementation (OECD, 2016), draws on the literature and on lessons and insights from more than 40 case studies on biodiversity offsets worldwide, including three in-depth chapters from the United States, Germany and Mexico. It examines opportunities and challenges that have been encountered in the design and implementation of biodiversity offsets programmes and provides good practice insights to enhance their effectiveness.

Attention, couples everywhere: We've got some relationship advice from a New York couple who shared a familiar table in Midtown Manhattan on Tuesday night, celebrating their 20th anniversary.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z? Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick? Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld?
Nope. Nope. Nope.
Mike Breen and Walt Frazier (known as Clyde)?
Yep and yep.
However, their table was not covered with a white linen tablecloth and candles, but rather statistics sheets, laptops and a video monitor.
Mr. Breen, 57, and Mr. Frazier, his 73-year-old partner-in-rhyme, have been a New York Knicks broadcasting team on MSG Networks for two decades.
They recently discussed the keys to maintaining their rock-solid relationship, which began on television on Feb. 5, 1999, at Orlando, back when Mr. Frazier was a precocious neophyte (a phrase he uses to describe promising rookies, which happens to be one of Mr. Breen's favorite Frazierisms).
"To me, the most important aspects of any partnership are respect and concern," said Mr. Frazier, an All-Star guard in his heyday — he was voted one of the 50 greatest players ever — who led the Knicks to their two N.B.A. titles, in 1970 and 1973.
"Mike and I not only have a mutual respect, but we care about each other, and each other's families," said Mr. Frazier, who lives in Harlem with his longtime girlfriend, Patricia James. "I know that if I had a problem personally or professionally, Mike would be the first one there for me, and vice versa."
Rosanne Breen, who in September will celebrate an even longer time with Mr. Breen (their 30th wedding anniversary), said that listening to her husband and Mr. Frazier on the air "is like listening to a couple of relatives chatting on the phone."
"My favorite aspect of their relationship is how kind they are to one another, and how their admiration for each other comes across specifically through humor," Ms. Breen said. "I think at least once a broadcast there's some sort of very organic and natural interaction between them that ends up with one of them belly laughing, and I find that makes the broadcast really pleasant to listen to."
Mr. Frazier, who is better known to a legion of younger hoops fans for his colorful wardrobe and lyrical analysis — "The Knicks were crashing and dashing in the first half, now they're stumbling and bumbling," he said during a telecast earlier this season and possibly many other times this season — was again seated alongside Mr. Breen at the Knicks broadcast table on Tuesday when the Detroit Pistons arrived at Madison Square Garden.
Mr. Breen, a lifelong Knicks fan whose sports idol was, and still is, Mr. Frazier, said that "maintaining a sense of humor" has also been crucial to achieving their long-term success.
"We both enjoy laughing together on the air," said Mr. Breen, who noted that an action poster of Mr. Frazier still hangs in the bedroom of the Westchester home where he grew up, and where his mother lives.
"Obviously what we are talking about is important, it's basketball, it's the Knicks," said Mr. Breen, who now lives on Long Island. "But to have some fun while we're working, that's been a real key over the years."
And when situations arise that are no laughing matter, they know they can agree to disagree.
"In all honesty, Mike and I have never had an argument off the air, but we've disagreed on-air," Mr. Frazier said. "When that happens, we take off the headsets and remind each other that we have our own opinions, and then one of us will usually say something like, 'Hey man, that was good,' and we move on."
Mr. Breen said that he and Mr. Frazier also "understand the importance of being good listeners, and knowing when to let each other speak."
"It's never a good idea for any two people to try and talk over one another," Mr. Breen said. "There are certain things that I will bring up that Clyde knows I'm passionate about, and he lets me have my space.
"And when he's talking about something he's passionate about I just sit back and let him go, and the viewer gets analysis from one of the greatest players of all-time, as beloved an athlete as we have ever had in any sport, someone who has taught the game to generations of fans."
To Mr. Frazier, it's all a part of the job. "A job that I can't believe I'm getting paid to do," he said.
"Mike's the play-by-play man, and I'm the color analyst," he said. "I know that he always goes first, he leads and I follow. It's no different than having a dance partner."
Mr. Breen and Mr. Frazier both said that at the root of every solid relationship is a solid friendship, like theirs.
"It's hard for me to believe that the athlete I admired most when I was growing up is now my broadcast partner and best friend," Mr. Breen said. "My wife just loves the sound of Clyde's voice and when my kids come to the Garden and come by to say hello after games, he treats them like his own family.
"That was my dad's favorite thing, coming by after games and hanging out with Clyde," said Mr. Breen, whose voice went silent for a moment before cracking with emotion. "When my dad passed away, Clyde came to his wake, and the way he treated my mother that night, well, these are things you never forget, these are things that really tell you about a person."
Mr. Frazier let his play-by-play man have his space before bringing a smile to his longtime partner's face.
"You know, Mike, when we first started out together I remember you telling me, 'Hey, Clyde, just be yourself, say whatever you want to say,'" Mr. Frazier said. "I know you're regretting that now, 20 years later."
