This talk was given at the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople Second Orthodox Youth Conference, July 11-16, 2007
Your All-Holiness, Your Eminences, Your Excellencies, Fellow Ministers, brothers and sisters in Christ I wish first of all to thank His All-Holiness for his invitation to participate in this Conference, and for the opportunity to speak on the theme: Is there spiritual life and sanctity today?
My immediate answer to both parts of this question is a very affirmative "Yes". God does not change. Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. And the nature of human beings has not changed either. Since Adam, humans are dignified with such a power over their own destiny that they can to a great degree turn their backs on God, on spiritual life, on the quest for holiness. But until the end of the world, there will always be people who, even if they are in the minority, will call down God's grace upon the earth and their fellow humans. That the world continues is proof that there is holiness today. Saint Silouan said, "I tell you that when there are no more men of prayer on earth, the world will come Wan end."
In other words, spiritual life, and holiness, which is its fruit, do not exist only in the past. We can see holiness in our predecessors and learn from them, but we are not examining spiritual life like an exhibit in a historical museum. It is a living reality to which we are all called. Every human being has a spiritual dimension. God is not partial: He calls each one into existence with personal love, and endows each human with the potential to share His own life. St Peter using the terminology of his time said that we are called to "become partakers of the divine nature" [2 Peter 1:4]. And that is what holiness is: "Be holy, for I am Holy, and I will that you have all that I have, unreservedly." This is God's invitation to us all, whatever our place in society, or our rank in the Church: the rank of the laity, or that of the clergy. St Silouan writes: "Everyone in this world has his task to perform, be he king or patriarch, cook, blacksmith or teacher, but the Lord Whose love extends to everyone of us will give greater reward to the man whose love for God is greater." And again: "Not everyone can be an emperor or a prince; not everyone can be a patriarch or an abbot, or a leader; but in every walk of life we can love God and be pleasing to Him, and only this is important."
Spiritual life is life which takes into account the spiritual dimension of human beings. Working at our relationship with God is not like a hobby for a certain category of person. As people say, "He or she is the religious type". It is not an optional extra. It is what makes our life really human. Biology and psychology, when they exclude the divine input into the human make-up, give an incomplete picture. Secular man is merely a superior animal, and actually subhuman. Without spiritual effort we will not cultivate our spirit. It cannot be obliterated, but it can be stifled and atrophied, ignored or denied. Only if we live a life which is spiritual will we ever be fully ourselves, fully reintegrated as persons. Spiritual life includes our psychological and our physical aspects. What I think and do on every level of existence affects my soul. And when my soul is touched by God's grace, my thinking, my feeling and my body are also blessed.
Especially in Western countries, many people have abandoned Christianity. An English author (G.K. Chesterton) wisely said that where people stop believing in the truth, they do not start to believe in nothing, they start to believe in anything. Thus although belief in God may remain when Christ is abandoned, in every country nowadays one can meet all kinds of spiritualities. This is not surprising, because "man cannot live on bread alone", and spiritual hunger exists even where ideas about the Absolute Being are confused.
Furthermore, many differing spiritual paths have features in common. There is, for example, a core of ethical teaching common to the major faiths. The radical differences between religions do not always show at the beginning of the path: only when people go further do the divergences become clear. Some of our contemporaries teach that the further you go in any religion, the closer the paths converge: but actually the opposite is true. So those who are seeking must seek for truth, and find the path which is based, on right theology, on a true vision of God as He Himself has revealed Himself to us. Then our deepest intuition will confirm that indeed Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
The fullness of life in God is only accessible in the God-man, that is, in the One who shares our human nature as well as having Divine Nature, as One of the Holy Trinity. The Orthodox Church gives us a true Prototype: we can see, and hear, and touch, and taste, the Absolute Being; we can experience the fragrance of God's actual Being. Thus we can go to the end of the Church's path with confidence. No other path, however noble its practices, its morals, and its aspirations, goes safely to the very end. Though nobody is totally bereft of grace, fullness of sanctity presupposes orthodox doctrine. Our teaching is unsurpassed; it is not out of date. It has borne fruit in many different ages and circumstances and cultures. Orthodoxy is for everyone; we can understand why Tertullian said that "every soul is innately Christian".
Thus spiritual life could be defined as "life in Christ". Let us dwell on this for a moment. This phrase has been used as the title of a book by St. Nicholas Cabasilas about the Sacraments. Echoing him, the great wonderworker, St. John of Kronstadt, who was a married priest living in Russia and who reposed in 1905, gave a similar title to his "spiritual diary" when he was asked to publish it. An almost contemporary author called one of the books where he shared his spiritual insights His that is, Christ's Life is Mine. To be "in Christ" means to be incorporated into His actual Body, and to be anointed with His Spirit Christ means "the Anointed One" and adopted as a child of His Heavenly Father. Christian faith is not only saying "yes" to the Creed. It means "putting on Christ" [Gal. 3:27]. How? By Baptism, which, precisely, is preceded by a confession of faith. We easily take this great gift for granted, but those who are converted in the mission field or as adults can tell us from their experience that it is a passage from darkness to light, from death to life. We sometimes forget that at Baptism the priest said over us, "Thou art washed, thou art sanctified, thou art justified, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." These magnificent words, borrowed from St. Paul's letter to the Corinthians, can seem like a mere ritual formula if we neglect to actualize the divine gift of Grace in our life. The seed of spiritual life has been sown in us. We "are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints" [1 Cor. 1:2]. That is our task.
If we are certain that we "have found the true faith", we have nothing to fear from the plethora of spiritual paths around us, even though it seems confusing. "For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" [2 Tim. 1:7]. If we remain faithful, and continually enrich our experience and knowledge of the Church's life and teaching, we will be all the better fitted to help our contemporaries.
The basic question is always: What do you think of Christ? St John reminded his correspondents that, "By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God. And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ is [the divine Lord] come in the flesh is not of God" [1 John 4:2]. Of course, our exposition of what we think of the Lord will be humble, not arrogant with self-assurance; it will be full of love and gratitude. Saint Silouan says. "God is love, and therefore the preaching of His word must always proceed from love. Then both preacher and listener will profit. But if you do nothing but condemn, the soul of the people will not heed you, and no good will come of it.
Certainly, not everyone is called to be a full-time preacher, but whoever witnesses to Christ will be speaking of One who has made it possible for all humans to become true persons.
Spiritual life is, according to Orthodox doctrine, a collaboration between our free will and the will of God. The best ambassadors of Christ will be those whose spiritual life in Him has prepared them to speak prayerfully, so that others will want them to explain their belief. "Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear". [1 Pet. 3:15] If we conform to the path on which alone we can acquire what St Paul daringly calls the mind of Christ, it does not mean that our individuality gets lost.
Our God is One in Nature and Three in Persons. Our Fathers teach us that we do not divide the Nature or confuse the Persons. And so it is to be when humanity is one as God is one. If the world lived in Christ, His commandments would be the first goal of each person: love for God and for each other. Therefore each person would be, not dissolved, but affirmed and fulfilled in loving relationships.
It is very instructive to read about holy people, canonised saints and others, such as the twentieth-century holy elders, Iakovos, Porphyrios, and many more. I mention those from the last century because it is almost "today", and a century of great suffering. I have in mind recognised holy men and women, because saints do not wear a self-advertising label: "Look at me! I"m a saint!" The path of Christ is one of humility, and some were honoured as holy while on earth, while some were not.
Our Church wisely does not bestow official recognition on someone until they have passed through the gates of death, and even then usually not quickly. So it is too soon to speak of twenty-first century saints. But if we only look at the twentieth century, there is such a variety of personalities, educational levels, degrees of piety in youth, religious backgrounds, and so on.
Then there are many different life paths that led to holiness. Mount Athos has given the world many great saints such as Silouan, who reposed in 1938; but not all the twentieth-century saints were in monasteries. There are the millions of martyrs and confessors men, women and children from the Soviet Union; there is a parish priest such as St. Nicholas Planas, and the new Parisian saints, Maria [Skobtsova] and Dimitri [Klepinin]. There is St. Nectarios, whose astounding miracles show that our God is a living God, and is at work until now. There are many who bore suffering with faith, and even if they are not famous, they are now reaping their reward and praying for the world.
All of these holy people went to the same services and accepted the same Creed. Yet they vary like a garden with many kinds of flowers. They present us with proof that God is with us and accessible to us all here and now.
Those with a scientific training know that proofs come mainly through experiment. The best way for us all to answer the question posed by His All-Holiness to us today is to experience for ourselves that "if you live after the flesh, you shall die, but if through the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live." "The flesh", and "the deeds of the body", mean here the sinful energies such as hatred, pride, lust and other passions, which cause disintegration and close the door against the Spirit of God.
Spiritual life will involve some "mortification" for all of us. One example of this is the fasts that we undertake together at certain periods of the Church year, precisely to help us to pray and to cleanse our heart of sinful passions. St. Paul goes on to say that, "As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, 'Abba, Father'." "The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God" [Rom. 8: 13-16]. When "the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon us" [I Pet. 4:14], then it will be evident that there is spiritual life and sanctity today.

Awash In Record Profits, Corporations Shift Even More To Offshore Tax Havens
The Wall Street Journal found that the 60 largest companies moved $166 billion offshore in 2012, shielding 40 percent of their earnings from American taxes and costing the U.S. billions in lost revenue:
The amount of money at stake is significant, particularly when the U.S. budget deficit is high on the political agenda. Just 19 of the 60 companies in the Journal's survey disclose the tax hit they could face if they brought the money back to their U.S. parent. Those companies say they might have to pay $98 billion in additional tax—more than the $85 billion in automatic-spending cuts triggered this month after the White House and Congress couldn't agree on an alternative.A similar analysis from Bloomberg found that 83 of the largest American companies moved $183 billion overseas in 2012, bringing the total offshore to $1.46 trillion for those 83 companies alone. Most of the companies, like Apple, Microsoft, and Yahoo, have set up subsidiaries in low-tax countries like Bermuda, Ireland, and the Cayman Islands specifically to receive tax benefits. That has ramifications for states, which lost $42 billion in revenue to corporate tax dodging in the last three years alone, and taxpayers and small businesses, who often have to pick up the tab.
And while the debate over corporate tax reform has flared again in Washington, the favorite reform of Republicans and corporate lobbying groups would only exacerbate the problem, making it easier for corporations to push even more money overseas at the expense of revenue and investment that could be made in the United States.

Canberra, Australia -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/21/2014 -- Timothy Maher, owner and principal physiotherapist at TM Physio, announced that he's offering an Internet only special. Individuals who print the voucher on the practice's website will receive 50 percent off an initial consultation.
Clients must present the voucher at the time of their appointment. The consultation can be redeemed at either the Kippax or Deakin location and individuals must mention the offer when they make their appointment. The money saving deal is just one way that Maher is introducing individuals to the benefits of physiotherapy.
TM Physio utilizes many methods to relieve pain, increase flexibility and restore range of motion. Multiple techniques are available to treat pain in virtually any joint of the body, accelerate healing and aid in post-surgical rehabilitation. Physiotherapy assists patients in managing problems that result from a wide array of injuries, conditions and diseases.
The practice specializes in physiotherapy techniques that can include manual manipulation, aquatic physiotherapy, strengthening exercises and hot/cold therapy. Nerve irritation is a leading cause of pain and mobility issues, causing inflammation and swelling that can impair the body's natural motion and function.
Symptoms that respond well to physiotherapy include acute and chronic pain, tingling in the hands and fingers, and conditions that cause stiffness or clicking noises during movement. Pain felt in one part of the body often has its origin in a completely different region than the affected area. Physiotherapy addresses the underlying causes of pain and mobility limitations instead of just treating the symptoms.
Aquatic physiotherapy at TM Physio provides patients with the means to ease pain while increasing their flexibility through the buoyancy of water. The warm water cradles and cushions the body to relieve the stress on joints and muscles, allowing patients to perform motions and movements that might otherwise be impossible.
Other benefits of water-based therapy are increased balance and heart fitness. Aquatic therapy is especially beneficial for those who require orthopaedic rehabilitation, patients with arthritis and individuals with work-related or sports injuries.
Many complaints stem from the demands of modern society. Sitting in front of computers for long periods and standing on hard floors several hours of the day takes a toll on the body. Even lifting small amounts of weight can result in major problems if done incorrectly. TM Physio provides business owners with pre-employment screening and can assist with consultations on creating a workplace designed to prevent injuries before they happen.
The Internet special offered by TM Physio provides individuals with a way to familiarize themselves with the benefits of physiotherapy at significant savings. The initial consultation can identify current conditions and potential problems, allowing individuals to take preventative measures now to avoid interruptions in their lifestyle.
About TM Physio
TM Physio maintains offices in Canberra, Deakin and Kippax. Fans can follow the practice on Facebook, Twitter, Google + and LinkedIn. The practice can be reached in Canberra at 02 6201 5843, at Kippax at 02 6254 9889 and at Deakin at 02 6282 5898, or via email with the convenient form on the website.

Building Data Visualization Tools
計劃開課班次:Feb 5
課程學習時間4 weeks, 2 hours per week
The data science revolution has produced reams of new data from a wide variety of new sources. These new datasets are being used to answer new questions in way never before conceived. Visualization remains one of the most powerful ways draw conclusions from data, but the influx of new data types requires the development of new visualization techniques and building blocks. This course provides you with the skills for creating those new visualization building blocks. We focus on the ggplot2 framework and describe how to use and extend the system to suit the specific needs of your organization or team. Upon completing this course, learners will be able to build the tools needed to visualize a wide variety of data types and will have the fundamentals needed to address new data types as they come about.

"The right to the pursuit of happiness means man's right to live for himself, to choose what constitutes his own, private, personal happiness and to work for its achievement. Each individual is the sole and final judge in this choice. A man's happiness cannot be prescribed to him by another man or by any number of other men. … These rights are the unconditional, personal, private, individual possession of every man, granted to him by the fact of his birth and requiring no other sanction. Such was the conception of the founders of our country, who placed individual rights above any and all collective claims." — Ayn Rand

People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim
"People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I've learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one's reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one's master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person's view requires to be faked. And if one gains the immediate purpose of the lie – the price one pays is the destruction of that which was intended to serve. The man who lies to the world, is the world's slave from then on." Ayn Rand (1905 – 1982)
Ayn Rand quote for the day
The Trial of Hank Rearden
Money is the root of all good
Until and unless you discover that money is the root of all good, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to become the means by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of other men. Blood, whips and guns–or dollars. Take your choice–there is no other. Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Is there anything that a sourdough starter cannot be used for? Don't answer that. If you say "no", I might be heartbroken. I must say that I was shocked when I heard about sourdough granola bars for Sourdough Surprises this month. But that shock turned into excitement. I love granola bars. Occasionally I make loose granola in my slow cooker but I have never made the mixture into bars.
These granola bars are extremely simple. I love that you can put pretty much anything into granola bars. I simply used ingredients that I had on hand and they were great. I made these relatively thin and tried to use as little honey as possible. Increase the honey if you prefer things to be sweet. It's a tricky balance with the honey - too little and the bars may be too crumbly. Too much and it may be sweeter than you would like for a quick breakfast/snack bar.
96 g (1/2 cup) rolled oats
59 g raisins
50 g shredded coconut
1 tsp cinnamon
96 g (6 tablespoons) crunchy peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
100 g 166% sourdough starter
Preheat oven to 350 F
Combine oats, raisins, coconut, and cinnamon. Warm peanut butter (~30 seconds in a microwave) and stir in honey. Add along with starter to oat mixture.
Press mixture into an 8" x 8" pan. Bake 20 - 25 minutes.
Score while warm and then slice completely when cool. Keep in an airtight container.

Hello darlings!
Today it's about a total girly look which is one of my favorite!
Little dresses are always a good idea and when they come in hot colors and nice fabrics they are the best idea.
This time I made this alcantara By Virginia mini dress that can be worn like this on a night out or with a classic white shirt or a turtleneck for warmer everyday looks.
Do you like it?
