is more than vocabulary and grammar rules. Indeed, every language is
linked to a culture. Every language depends on the concrete context
which provides it with its meaning and its boundaries. To some extent,
our language and our way of life are one and the same.
Understanding the
role of the first language: The first language
commonly remains the language of emotions regardless of fluency in
other languages. Words we use for describing emotions and feelings in a
second language may not fully transmit or evoke our intrapsychic
reality. Research shows that memory and access to deepest thoughts,
feelings, and ideas are impacted by language.
Understanding the role of a second language: Conversely, our
second language may provide us with distance from cultural expectations
and protect us from embarrassment when expressing some feelings that
may be considered inappropriate in our home culture. A second language
may provide a vehicle to express the inexpressible in the first
language. The exclusive preference of one language over another may
compartmentalize the contradictions inherent in the therapy process.

Which product was recommended to boost energy and fight fatigue on last week's Dr. Oz Show?
A. Relora
B. Guarana
C. Rhodiola
D. Vacation
Click on for the answer to this week's quiz.
Join the Conversation! Connect with Watching Dr Oz:
The Answer:
Your Answers:
A. Relora - 20%
B. Guarana - 20%
C. Rhodiola - 55%
D. Vacation 5%
The Answer: Rhodiola
On the 11/15/12 episode of The Dr. Oz Show: Dr. Weil's 5 Essentials Dr. Weil's own doctor Dr. Tieraona Low Dog, MD, joined Dr. Weil and Dr. Oz to talk about fatigue fighters.
Dr. Low Dog combines her medical degree and her Native American heritage to heal the mind, body, and spirit. Nature holds the answers to health, said Dr. Low Dog.
Golden root, better known by it's common name of rhodiola, boosts energy, supports mental concentration and physical endurance. Dr. Low Dog recommends to begin with 100mg in the morning daily for first two weeks then increase by 100 to 200mg up to 400mg. She explains that rhodiola is great for people who are experiencing low energy, sleep issues, depression, or general feelings of blah.
Relora plays a role in support healthy levels of cortisol in the body. Cortisol is known as the stress hormone and when stress levels are high cortisol creation ramps up causing the storage of fat.
Guarana can certainly play a role in energy levels as it's where caffeine is derived. Using guarana as a supplement may be a player in the fatigue fighting game however over using guarana and caffeine can backfire by over taxing the adrenal glands and causing even more fatigue.
I highly recommend a vacation for those who are strapped for energy and suffering from prolonged fatigue. However not everyone can have a vacation when they feel the need. Perhaps making time for yourself each day to relax and restore can support energy levels or taking a day to enjoy the sights and entertainments in your own city can be a positive outlet for stress and allow some recharging too.
Thanks for participating in this week's WatchingDrOz Quiz!

Google Doodle April 26, 2017
Cassini Spacecraft Dives Between Saturn and its Rings!
Saturn, get ready for your close-up! Today the Cassini spacecraft starts a series of swoops between Saturn and its rings. These cosmic acrobatics are part of Cassini's dramatic "Grand Finale," a set of orbits offering Earthlings an unprecedented look at the second largest planet in our solar system.
By plunging into this fascinating frontier, Cassini will help scientists learn more about the origins, mass, and age of Saturn's rings, as well as the mysteries of the gas giant's interior. And of course there will be breathtaking additions to Cassini's already stunning photo gallery. Cassini recently revealed some secrets of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus -- including conditions friendly to life! Who knows what marvels this hardy explorer will uncover in the final chapter of its mission?
Cassini is a joint endeavor of NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian space agency (ASI). The spacecraft began its 2.2 billion–mile journey 20 years ago and has been hanging out with Saturn since 2004. Later this year, Cassini will say goodbye and become part of Saturn when it crashes through the planet's atmosphere. But first, it has some spectacular sightseeing to do!

Cancer is a group of many different diseases affecting the body's cells. Normally, cells grow and divide only when the body needs them. If production continues when new cells are not required, excess tissue can form a mass, called a tumor. This tissue may be benign – which is not cancerous – or malignant, which is cancerous. When a malignancy occurs, cancer cells divide out of control, possibly invading and destroying nearby healthy tissue. Cancer cells also may break away from the tumor to enter the bloodstream and lymphatic system. This is how cancer spreads – or metastasizes – to form new tumors in other parts of the body.
The prostate is the male sex gland that produces fluid for semen. It is about the size of a walnut and located just below the bladder and in front of the rectum. The prostate surrounds the upper part of the urethra, which is the tube that empties urine from the bladder.
Prostate cancer occurs when malignant cells form in the gland. Cancer that remains confined within the prostate gland is considered localized. If the disease spreads outside the prostate, it most often moves into surrounding tissues or the seminal vesicles, which are sac-like structures attached to the prostate. Further metastasis could involve the lymph nodes and other organs.
Fortunately, most prostate cancers grow very slowly. However, because some forms of this disease can grow and spread quickly to other areas of the body, prostate cancer should be considered a life-threatening disease.
Still have questions? Call us at 1-800-458-4372 to speak with one of our prostate cancer information specialists.

Interview: Government support essential to industrialize tidal
- Business & Finance
A clear support framework, similar to that provided to the solar and wind industries which allowed them to progressively reduce their cost of energy, is also necessary for tidal energy sector, according to OpenHydro's Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Brendan Corr.
In the light of the recently announced tidal energy project in Japan, as well as other major tidal energy projects set for delivery this year in France and Canada, Tidal Energy Today spoke with Mr. Brendan Corr, CCO of the company at the forefront of tidal energy industry – OpenHydro.
Dear Mr. Corr can you tell us more about OpenHydro's involvement in the recently announced tidal energy project off Japan?
We are currently in the planning phase along with our consortium partners. This 16-metre turbine will be the first commercial-scale tidal device to be deployed in Japanese waters. Through this demonstration project we will work with our Consortium partners to foster local skills and expertise. In future, we will manufacture devices for commercial scale arrays in Japan, underlining again the potential of the industry to create jobs and economic benefit where significant tidal resource is available. As such, this first device is an essential step in the development of a tidal industry in Japan.
OpenHydro is developing tidal energy turbines based on open-centre technology. What can you tell us about the technology itself, and other innovations OpenHydro has in store for the future?
OpenHydro's Open-Centre Turbine comprises four key components: a horizontal axis rotor, a direct-drive permanent magnet generator, a hydrodynamic duct and a subsea gravity base foundation. Simplicity is a key advantage of the device, with no lubricants, seals or gearbox, resulting in reduced maintenance requirements. The turbines, supported by subsea base foundations, are placed directly onto the seabed, deep enough so as not to pose a hazard to shipping. OpenHydro has developed a specialist methodology for deploying its Open-Centre Turbines, allowing all preparatory works to be performed in the controlled working environment of a harbour and without any drilling or piling required.
Can you tell us more about the assembly plant for OpenHydro's tidal turbines which will be constructed in Cherbourg?
We are developing a purpose-built tidal turbine assembly facility at Cherbourg Port. The 5,500m2 purpose-built facility, will act as an industrial hub for the delivery of the Normandie Hydro project for EDF Energies Nouvelles – a 14MW array set to be deployed in 2018. This project will see the installation of an array of seven tidal turbines in the Raz Blanchard, supplying electricity to 13,000 local residents. Work is ongoing with the Ports of Normandy Authority (PNA) and the French government agency, SHEMA, to finalise plans for the ambitious project.
The tidal turbine sector is expected to create hundreds of jobs in Cherbourg once OpenHydro begins the commercial scale production of tidal arrays from 2020. The facility will initially have a production capacity of 25 turbines annually, with planned expansion work on the factory expected to increase production by up to 50 turbines per year. This purpose built facility will act as the industrial hub for the delivery of the Normandie Hydro project and will position us for large scale development in the French market. This is an essential step on the path to commercialisation and will ensure OpenHydro is well placed to address the world-wide €200 billion tidal energy market.

Apart from the projects mentioned so far, what is the next step in OpenHydro's commercialisation strategy?
This year we are delivering two of the world's first grid-connected tidal arrays in France and Canada. These projects will give us key insights into the operation of our turbines at array scale and are crucial steps in the path to commercialisation. The transition from research and development to industrial supply is underpinned by the expertise and support OpenHydro receives from DCNS. OpenHydro has visibility on 3.9GW of prospects internationally including new territories particularly in Asia Pacific. Of this, 1.7GW are actively being progressed.
What are the most promising markets for OpenHydro's tidal technology?
We are active in Canada, Europe and Asia and have many promising prospects in these markets. We are collaborating with potential industrial partners, customers and supply chain partners to realise our industrial strategy and develop commercial scale projects in areas with sigificant tidal resource.
How do you think tidal energy industry will develop in the future and what measures are necessary to be taken for ensuring the industry is on the right track?
With global energy demand set to increase, there is an undeniable and urgent need to develop new renewable energy technologies. The potential energy that could be harvested from tides on a global scale is enormous. The global value of the tidal energy market is estimated at €200 billion. Given the predictable nature of tidal energy and the size of the resource, tidal represent a very significant part of the future energy mix.
The role of governments to implement consistent and coherent policies remains essential in bringing tidal energy to industrial scale. We need a clear support framework, similar to that provided to the solar and wind industries which allowed them to progressively reduce their cost of energy.
OpenHydro has a unique proposition for governments: our ability to combine achievement of renewable targets with industrial activity and job creation.

Love in Action, Guadalajara, Mexico
The village of Santa Rosa, in El Salto municipality, Jalisco, Mexico, is typical in many ways: extremely poor, no running water or sewage pipes, potholed roads that are either filled with filthy water and vermin in the rainy season, or powder-fine dust that pollutes peoples' lungs and homes in the dry season, and a multitude of children everywhere.
It is in this needy setting that FCF Project Love in Action set up a service center to minister to the needs of the over 27,000 children under the age of 14, and the 28,000 families that live in the area.
Assistance is offered via the following programs:
- "Comedor Infantil La Familia" – A free dining room that feeds between 140 – 190 poor children daily.
- "Rescater": Meeting the food and medical needs of older folks.
- "Health For All": Free medical attention and medicines for all.
- "No Empty Plates": Distribution of food on a monthly basis to needy families.
During the past year, Love in Action has:
- Served 29,237 plates of food to poor children in the free dining room.
- Served 613 meals to the elderly (65+) in their free dining room.
- Distributed 16.62 tons of food to needy families.
- Given 326 special food packages to the elderly (65+) that were geared to the needs of this age group.
- Offered 59 elderly folks free access to medical attention and medicines for the duration of their lives.
How satisfying it is to be able to attend to so many needy persons in Mexico, who, with outstretched hands, are desperately clamoring for help.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger took his global-warming spiel to the world Monday.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger took his global-warming spiel to the world Monday.
Should we be proud that he spoke so boldly to the United Nations Summit Conference or just hope he'll someday be able to tell the world about equally dramatic health-care reform and water policy improvements in California?
He said all the right things in New York.
The governor emphasized California's leadership in trying to reduce global warming - a not-so-veiled rebuke of President Bush - and urged United Nations members to move beyond the 1997 Kyoto Protocol agreement that the United States didn't ratify.
Schwarzenegger isn't alone.
State Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez, D-Los Angeles, author of California's landmark global-warming legislation, delivered the keynote address Tuesday to a Scandinavian climate conference and exhibition in Copenhagen.
At least Nuñez stayed in Sacramento and spoke via satellite.
Nuñez and Schwarzenegger are supporting the nation's first state law written to cut emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases by 25 percent by 2020.
As important as global warming is - Schwarzenegger's right that it's time to move beyond "debate and doubt" - Californians would be more impressed if he helped produce the breakthrough needed on health care.
He called the California Legislature back into special session to seek solutions on health and water policy. That's not enough. He needs to lead the way.
There's evidence a health-care reform compromise between the Republican governor and Democratic-controlled Legislature might be reached.
The standard opposition from business owners, insurance carriers and hospital administrators hasn't materialized. Skyrocketing costs are the main reason.
There is consensus on a government program for the working poor, more-affordable premiums and some mechanism to protect 6.5 million uninsured Californians.
The major dilemma, as always, is how to pay for expanded coverage.
With their global warming proposals, California officials are leading the way, despite opposition from the U.S. auto industry and the Bush administration.
Meaningful, workable health-care reform is even more important and immediate. California again can become a national role model.
Schwarzenegger and Nuñez need to let California's proposals and progress on global warming speak for themselves.
They should remain focused on developing a common-sense, consensus solution on health care.
A remedy that effectively reshapes the way health care is paid for and delivered truly would be worth telling the world about.

I am 140 days away from becoming a wife. 140 days. That's not long really is it?!
However, having had 766 days (to date) to get used to the idea, I've come to the realisation that I'm pretty damn excited.
If you've stumbled across this blog by chance, then let me introduce my story so far and our wedding to be.
My fiance and I have been engaged since July 2011.. we got engaged in Cornwall after 1 year and 4 months together. Our wedding isn't necessarily the 'traditional fairytale' wedding; in fact, its a crazy mish-mash of what makes us, us. We're having a winter woodland themed wedding in a small manor house in the countryside. We met at the nature reserve where I work and so it really sums up where we began.
Expect lots of photos and DIY projects over the next four and a half months…

Academic Success, Persistence, Learning Satisfaction
University housing has the capacity to offer more than comfortable living spaces, and campuses across the U.S., including our own, are exploring models of residential learning communities that provide both academic and social support students while cultivating a strong sense of community. In this article, we describe our campus foray into offering a new residential learning community model. We explain its origins, its evolution, and the questions we face now that we have successfully created a second approach to living learning communities on our campus.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Most retail bookstores in Berkeley have small but potent Spanish-language book sections with the latest writings of literary greats such as Gabriel García Márquez and Carlos Fuentes. But somehow the best libros en español aren't in conventional bookstores. For magazines, frequent the record stores, which feature the grotesque blood-and-guts covers of Alarma alongside fanzines with bright glossy covers of teen idols. You can also get political magazines such as Proceso, and women's magazines such as Vanidades. For old books, Corazón del Pueblo in Oakland has a nice collection of out-of-print and used books for reasonable prices; novels and biographies of Chicano-Mexicano-Latino heroes and heroines fill the two rows in the back of the Mexican arts store. But the best in this category goes to the Spanish Table in Berkeley. Better known as a vendor of food, wine, and cookware from Spain and Portugal, it also has a surprisingly abundant selection of books and compact discs. Cookbooks are plentiful, along with picture and children's books. It's a beautiful space with colorful pottery and a graceful old-world feeling. Check out the Rough Guide to Cuban Son book with Compay Segundo on the cover.

Today marks the beginning of the 2016 NFL Draft.
And even though your Denver Broncos are the 31st team scheduled to pick — that's what happens to squads that win the Super Bowl — there's a lot of pressure on the Broncos to make that first selection count.
They haven't always managed to do so.
While Denver has struck pay dirt with first-rounders such as Von Miller and Bradley Roby, execs have also drafted plenty of first-round disappointments or flat-out busts over the years, as witnessed by the following top-ten list, which we first shared last year.
We hope John Elway and company do better than this in 2016....
Number 10: Tommy Maddox
Quarterback: UCLA
Number 25 overall pick in 1992
Maddox had some good years as QB in Pittsburgh, long after his Broncos days. But in Denver, he was mainly drafted because then-coach Dan Reeves was disenchanted with John Elway and seldom rose from the pine.
Number 9: Ashley Lelie
Wide receiver: Hawaii
Number 19 overall pick in 2002
Lelie never became the big-time receiver the Broncos envisioned, and he was a grumbler, leading to his 2006 trade. Two years later, he was out of the league.
Number 8: Tim Tebow
Quarterback: Florida
Number 25 overall pick in 2010
We're of two minds on Timmy. Yes, he got the Broncos to the playoffs (and won a game!) in his best season with the squad. But he was a terrible passer and a weirdly divisive presence who was disappeared from the roster at the earliest opportunity. Peyton Manning, four winning seasons and a Super Bowl championship followed.
Number 7: Don Latimer
Nose tackle: Miami (Florida)
Number 27 overall pick in 1978

The Broncos hoped Latimer would become a mainstay of the vaunted Orange Crush defense, but he proved an underwhelming talent. By 1983, he was in the USFL.
Number 6: Willie Middlebrooks
Cornerback: Minnesota
Number 24 overall pick in 2001
He was drafted with the idea that he'd become a star, but Middlebrooks was more of a journeyman. He lasted just three seasons in Denver.
Continue to keep counting down the Broncos' ten worst first-round draft picks.
Number 5: Kelvin Clark
Offensive tackle: Nebraska
Number 22 overall pick in 1979
Clark is so little remembered for his brief stint in Denver that we couldn't even find a trading-card image showing him in a Broncos uniform. This is him sporting Nebraska red.
Number 4: Dan Williams
Defensive end: Toledo
Number 11 overall pick in 1993
One of the highest Broncos picks of the team's Super Bowl era never blossomed in Denver. Williams was out in three years as well.
Number 3: Jarvis Moss
Defensive end: Florida
Number 17 overall pick in 2007
Moss was supposed to return the Broncos' pass rush to its former status as one of the most feared units in football. Instead, he made no impact when he was healthy, which wasn't all that often, and his attitude appeared to get progressively worse during his time with the team. A big — make that really big — disaster.
Number 2: Marcus Nash
Wide receiver: Tennessee
Number 30 overall pick in 1998
Nash was expected to be a terror of a wide receiver. But during his first year, he only played eight games and caught just four passes for 76 yards. In year two, he appeared in just two games and caught nothing but the cold chill of disappointment from Broncos loyalists. He was subsequently traded to Miami, which dealt him to Baltimore. By 2003, he was in the Arena Football League. Grim.
Number 1: Ted Gregory
Defensive tackle: Syracuse
Number 26 overall pick in 1988

I'm generally an optimistic person so I wouldn't usually start off a post with negative comments (except perhaps when I'm having a Mini Rant!), but for the purpose of this particular observation, I feel it's necessary.
You see, this month we have a Bank Holiday coming up. I don't know if you recall, but the earlier Bank Holiday this month was a total washout. Well, it was where I live in Kent.
And if there's one thing that's unpredictable it's the British weather. So, taking a leaf out of the Scout's Motto, this month I'm going to be prepared.
Now if it's sunny, then that's great – we'll be out in the garden pottering around and catching some rays.
But if it rains then I'm sorted too; I've come up with Five Great Indoor Games for families with tweens.
Actually, since we play the games quite regularly they're all in my head (and I've got more than five – one not so favourite being the 'IT' Game!), but for the purposes of this post, I'm showcasing my five favourite go-to family games.
1. Balderdash
Have you ever seen the TV panel show Call My Bluff? If so, this game is pretty similar to that. Say you're a family of four (although the game can be played with as few as two players), then one person is designated the card reader. There are five categories in the game to choose from – Initials, Film, Person, Place and Law.
So looking at Initials, as an example – the card reader might read: What do the initials T.O.L.S stand for? The players then make up a fictitious association or club – e.g. Time of Our Lives Society – and write this on a piece of paper. When all players have thought of an answer they hand their scraps of paper to the card reader.
The card reader will then read out (in random order) all of the responses PLUS the correct answer, trying not to give anything away (I always get the card reader to hide behind the game box so players can't see if they are reading the correct (card) answer or the scraps of paper!)
You have to have a bit of a poker face to play Balderdash; many a time I've been caught out by someone reading out my answer and I've laughed at my own answer – mostly because I've either written (a) something totally childish or (b) I've been a bit rude.
Sometimes though I'll try and fool the other players into thinking one of the answers was the one that I wrote by looking shifty or smirking. Balderdash has been my favourite game since I discovered it about ten years ago – I haven't yet found anything that comes close to making me laugh or amused me.
And now the kids are tweens, it's great to see them use their vivid imagination to come up with the most unlikely answer. Truth is, usually the most unlikely answers turn out to be the real answer, which is the beauty of this game.
2. The Laughing Game
This is a family game that we made up donkeys years ago. The object of the game is very simple: Don't laugh! Actually, a game has since launched called Don't Laugh – I'm gutted I didn't think of it first as I already had the idea – and was implementing it!
So how does it work? Well we all sit on the floor and the person who is trying to make the others laugh leaves the room to 'prepare'.
They can get props to help them – or dress up – but when they walk into the room the other players are forbidden to laugh. Smiling is allowed – and even smirking to a degree- but if one teeny weenie sound passes the lips of anyone, they're out!
So what sorts of things do we get up to? Well, the kids contort their bodies and come into the room putting on an accent. Usually things associated with farting, pooing and weeing will have them in hysterics
VIP will usually come into the room pretending he's a silverback gorilla which the kids love, and I usually opt for pretending I'm some sort of animal or putting my face next to the kids and pretend I'm sniffing them, which usually has them dissolve into a fit of giggles (especially if you gently blow on their ears while doing it!)
What's great about this game is that you don't need any set up – you just sit down and start playing.
3. Hide and Seek
You're probably wondering why I've listed Hide and Seek as a favourite indoor game to play, but seriously…when did you last play it? It's great fun – and the kids still enjoy it despite being a bit older. And even though I struggle to find some great places to hide (my usual go-tos are in the shower, behind a door/curtain and in the wardrobe), I once disguised myself as a bin bag, which worked a treat – no one found me for ages!
The rules are…whoever gets found first is the next person to count. When we play the person who's counting allows at least 20 seconds (usually 30) to give the other players the best chance of finding a great hiding place.
The best hide and seek I ever did on my kids? I left the house to go to a Slimming World meeting while they were still counting. VIP tells me they eventually saw the funny side, but were not impressed when they had searched high and low for me for 20 minutes.
4. Mallet's Mallet
Anyone remember Mallet's Mallet? It was an 80s kids show with Timmy Mallet and was fast paced and great fun! The great thing about this game is that you can transfer it to wherever you are – sitting in a traffic jam, at the airport – basically wherever you have to wait as it helps pass the time.
If you're at home though, all the family sits in a circle and one person kicks off the game by shouting out a word. The gane moves clockwise and the person next to them has to think of a word associated with what the person has just said.
So, for example, we could start off with the word bear, then the next person might say brown, then the next might say another colour etc…
Actually, we did go down this last time and for some reason the kids almost always end up saying 'poo' or 'wee' because they think it's hilarious. But is it makes them laugh, that's great.
There are some rules of course. You can't hesitate or take too long in answering (hence why it's such a fast-paced game); and you can challenge a word if you think it's not associated with the previous one (the person must then explain the connection).
We usually play until the last person wins but it's great at getting the kids' creative juices flowing, plus it's also educational as the kids end up learning new words they haven't heard before – a win-win!
5. Pictionary
Drawing was never my forte and the kids absolutely love it when I agree to play Pictionary. Why? Because I'm pretty naff at drawing and they howl with laughter when they see my attempts. Mind you, I do the same with my own mum.
We usually pair up in teams – adults V kids or girls V boys and swap around to make it more interesting (and stop the kids fighting when they start losing)
You don't actually need a board game to do this – just 2 pens/pencils and lots of paper. Two people (one from each team) decide what they are going to draw a picture of (without letting the other players hear their decision).
Then on the count of three, the drawing commences – the first person to shout out the correct answer is the winning team.
There are rules – things like gesturing is not allowed or writing words on the picture, but the more obscure you make the object to draw, the funnier the results!
What indoor family games do you enjoy playing – and which of the above is your favourite?

At this point in the summer, some of our priests who face the transition to a new parish assignment may find themselves weary of packing and unpacking. Perhaps some who were looking forward to a break from the winter now realize they have become weary of the summer heat. Those who escape the mundane of home and the familiar by vacationing sometimes find themselves weary of vacation itself and find returning home a source of refreshment. The cycle of waking and sleeping, working and resting, being away on vacation and being at home, all of these point to our need for restoration and refreshment as part of the reality of being human.
Some people have been heard to say that they have become weary of faith and, tragically, respond by dropping out of attending Sunday Mass or giving up on daily prayer or failing to receive the Sacrament of confession after committing mortal sin.
The first remedy to help in our fight against spiritual lethargy is the proper celebration of the Lord's Day each week, and the reason why we are here at Mass:
"Just as God 'rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done,' human life has a rhythm of work and rest. The institution of the Lord's Day helps everyone enjoy adequate rest and leisure to cultivate their familial, cultural, social, and religious lives. (CCC 2184)
God who knows our needs and speaks to us in love calls us to seek rest on the Lord's Day for He knows our need to be restored better than we do ourselves.
"On Sundays and other holy days of obligation, the faithful are to refrain from engaging in work or activities that hinder the worship owed to God, the joy proper to the Lord's Day, the performance of the works of mercy, and the appropriate relaxation of mind and body. Family needs or important social service can legitimately excuse from the obligation of Sunday rest. The faithful should see to it that legitimate excuses do not lead to habits prejudicial to religion, family life, and health.
God comes to us gently, meekly, as we hear in today's first reading. He comes not to take away but to restore and to strengthen us in the peace whose fruit is joy: "he shall proclaim peace to the nations." And he does this for each of us because He has the power to give what He promises to all: "His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth." We are invited always to seek His kingdom which is not of this world as a refuge from the world which sometimes leaves us weary and discouraged.
We are encouraged to explore this possibility of God's peaceful dominion further by taking a yearly personal retreat, an escape from the day to day so as to explore more deeply our relationship with God. The summer break is a good time to find this "rest" for ourselves in the Lord as he invites us in the Gospel reading and we are blessed to have available to us a retreat center located near our parish.
God can give the rest and refreshment because He is love, and in all our experience of weariness and sometimes discouragement it is love, above all, which restores to us our sense of dignity and worthiness to be loved. Our works, our efforts, all of our activity expresses our God-given dignity when the goal of all is love, a selfless desire to simply serve others as God has served us, to give to others the charity which ever finds its source in God, who is charity itself.
"The fruits of charity are joy, peace, and mercy; charity demands beneficence and fraternal correction; it is benevolence; it fosters reciprocity and remains disinterested and generous; it is friendship and communion:
" 'Love is itself the fulfillment of all our works. There is the goal; that is why we run: we run toward it, and once we reach it, in it we shall find rest.' (St Augustine) " (CCC 1829)
Jesus Christ Himself is our peace who brings life and good from every cross as He did through His own cross of suffering and death. Praise and thank God that in holy Mass each Sunday, or the vigil on Saturday, we are able to answer in the most perfect way the wonderful invitation from the Lord to seek rest in Him.
Our peace and strength are regained in the Eucharist for thus we receive Jesus Christ Himself who becomes our peace and joy:
"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
for I am meek and humble of heart;
and you will find rest for yourselves.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."

Henry was born roughly 100 years before the black road invasion to his mother, Beatrice Solaris. As soon as he was adult, like her, he joined the Defenders of Kolvir, eventually rising beneath her command to be a Lt-Colonel, and upon her retirement, took over her former post as Colonel and XO of the Defenders.
Upon Beatrice and Benedict's reunion a few months after the beginning of the war, it was revealed to all that Benedict was his father, though this was well known within the family for some time.
Henry has been generally understood to embody the Solaris tendencies of high moral character and a stern, martial approach to life. He has also been known to be a musician and public speaker of no little skill, and to be well-loved by his men, preferring to lead in the realm of morality by example rather than lecturing.
Not long after his parents' marriage, Henry resigned/retired his commission with the army and it was expected that he would take on the duties of Heir of Solaris. Then, shortly before Benedict crowned himself King of Amber, Henry vanished into shadow on some errand. When he returned, the family was given to understand that he was now not only corrupted by the Black Road, but tied to or tainted by Banyan, Corwin's realm in far shadow. Consequently, he was banished from all Chantris (Solaris) holdings or events.
He was later killed by his uncle, Prince Caine, when he went chaos mad and tried to kill Caine. This is not widely known.
Note: Henry was played twice. Apparently staff wouldn't give access to the "Henry" character bit when Beatrice and Benedict recruited a new player to play their son after the original player had gone idle. Because of that there is also a "Henrik" character bit. These are the same character.
Henry's Description
Henry is tall and lithe, with an athlete's build. Keen hazel eyes are set in a strong-featured face, with high cheek bones and a dimpled chin that sits at the end of a long jawline. The hardness of his face is softened by a mass of short golden curls atop his head, that resembles a mop of fine straw.
He wears a grey-accented, brown gambeson, with indicators that mark him a Colonel in the Defenders of Kolvir. At his belt hangs an ornate, but functional, saber.

Later in the morning we made models of atoms by using Neil Bohr's model of the atom. We learned why some atoms are highly reactive ( see Hindenberg clip) and why some don't interact at all with other atoms. We learned about electron energy levels and photons. Then our docent. Lori, gave a brief explanation of the group of particles known as quarks.
Before lunch, Susan Dahl visited and told us about the Teacher Resource Center and all the wonderful opportunities that Friends of Fermilab provide for teachers and students.
After lunch we began looking at the properties of matter. We identified property words for solids and we explored gas pressure laws. Our favorite demo was the egg in the bottle experience. We then showed how strong air pressure is by using a piece of tag board to hold back an entire bottle of water.
We concluded by placing a participant into a 39 gallon trash bag and removing most of the air with a shop vac. The results were crushing!
This was a wonderful group of inquisitive and engaging teachers. They demonstrated the true meaning of professionalism and their students are fortunate to have them for teachers as they facilitate learning in the upcoming school year.

We successfully held our second Corporate Governance event on the very hot topic of Global Banking Sanctions.
In conjunction with Risk Audit Professional Development, Chris Hollands led us through what has become a bit of a minefield over the past few years, especially given the record fines meted out by the US regulators.
While the subject matter was very broad, it certainly gave a good taster as to the challenges faced when reviewing Sanctions.
It included topics such as:
1) Definitions and the Structure of Regulation
2) Key Risks and the commensurate Controls found in a Financial Institution
3) Approach to Testing
4) Recent Cases
5) 12 Key questions you need to ask

We're almost halfway through 2018, which means it's time to reflect on all of those trend pieces we read back in January.
In an era dominated by technology and everything migrating online, it goes without saying that every business needs to create a website to market their products and services. A website will not only help you set up an online shop to directly sell your services and products to your clients but will help increase your online presence and reach a wider audience.
As the real estate industry has come around to using the multitude of online marketing tools available through the internet as opposed to past marketing methods such as direct mail, the speed and accuracy of all things marketing have increased rapidly. With search engine optimization and online real estate listings, marketing for real estate brands has become a lot simpler. If you're a real estate agent or a real estate business and your brand is falling behind the times, now is your chance to take advantage of these resources by creating a solid inbound marketing strategy for your real estate. The result will be more and better qualified leads all around.
B2B online marketing offers immense value if used properly, but businesses that act without considering a particular channel's specific ROI risk wasting resources, money, and brand equity. You have to choose what is right for your company based on your goals.
Understanding how each approach impacts your bottom line relative to its expense is crucial. In this article, we'll be outlining the most effective B2B online marketing approaches affect a business.
For best results with SEO, it is important to take key steps when creating content. On-page SEO is not difficult to implement, it is just a matter of going through each step to ensure that you are maximizing your SEO opportunities for each post.
What sets apart good leaders from great leaders is the ability to drive and sustain growth in an organization. Successful business leaders know that marketing is the secret to successfully growing their company.
Over time, we have noticed a lot of commonalities in successful business leaders—almost like a secret sauce that all savvy business owners know and value. We'd like to share the top nine facts about marketing that all those successful business owners and leaders know.


text: Scammers just love Facebook! It allows them to quickly and cheaply reach huge numbers of potential victims. And, Facebook is completely free, very easy to use, and accessible to people at all levels of Internet savviness. So, alas, there is a never ending supply of naive and inexperienced users that Facebook scammers can target at will.

Labelled 'tribal' or 'ethnic' fashion, the focus in ethnicity appears to filter between Navajo to Ikat, Southwestern to Aztec, but the trend itself is far from over, with cultural patterns and colourful textiles crafted into many a fashion outfit on the streets of the Western World.
Whilst I do not consider myself a follower of fashion per se, this particular trend is one that I am fond of. Brightly coloured abstract textiles in our clothes and accessories, introduce a touch of worldliness and mystery of far away places that we'd all like to explore. (This skirt refashion explores that)
Sewing a colourful textile pocket to a simple garment, such as a plain tee, or a pair of jeans is so easy to do yourself, it could be done by hand with a needle and thread, although it would be quicker if you do have access to a sewing machine.
Example of ready-to-buy pieces:
Aztec Navajo Southwestern Print Pocket Handmade Denim Shorts
Tribal pocket tee
Green tribal pocket sweatshirt
Denim shirt with tribal print pocket
I found a plain 3/4 sleeve tee from my local op shop, half price (thanks to changeover season sale) for a bargain price of $1.75.
The fit was not ideal so I removed both sleeves, and used 'The Mummy' dress form to refit to my shape, using safety pins to pin to the appropriate size.
On re-attaching both sleeves, I've simply pinned and machine stitched the lonesome pocket in place, but placed it on the bottom of the top, rather than create a breast pocket, which, I believe would have been too much.
1 thirfted shirt = three projects, total cost for all three projects $4.25.

THE Pope may have been making his final farewell at Lourdes, a cardinal said yesterday.
Godfried Danneels said the pontiff was 'seriously weakened' during his weekend pilgrimage to the French shrine.
Danneels was with Pope John Paul II, who has Parkinson's disease.
...The 84-year-old pontiff, who also suffers crippling hip and knee problems, trembled as he celebrated Mass for an estimated 300,000 pilgrims at a shrine to the Virgin Mary.

How long does it take for the DNS to update?
When any changes are made to the DNS (Domain Name System), there is a period of time it takes for those changes or updates to be reflected across the internet, which is known as 'propagation'. Generally speaking, propagation may take up to between 24 and 48 hours to take effect, but can take a lot less. Contact 1300 368 359 to discover more about propagation times with an experienced domain expert.

As stated previously, I'm working on a terrain generator with the SFML (more details on that later). But now that the core thingie is running, I'd like to add a GUI to tweak the parameters.
Foolish me. I had no idea what I was getting into.
So. I know we're going to delve into Qt later this year, so I wanted to use Qt. But building under VC2010 sounded like a pain in the - er - back, so I looked elsewhere.
wxWidgets looked rather nice. Bummer, no VC2010 version. But wait, wxPack is a compiled version, with VC2010 compatibility! Well, uh, not quite. It doesn't integrate so linking is really painful, specifying every library by hand with no data on the required ones (and trial and error is really annoying beyond 20 libs). Integration works with the 2008 version though. Which is (completely objectively) less pretty and comfortable, and doesn't highlight matching braces on reading. Using wxWidgets also involves really ugly-looking macros absolutely everywhere. And I dislike having 400 warnings coming from the libs during linking.
Back to Qt then, using QtCreator? I guess. Except no. The installer seems to have messed up and not installed project files. And the package manager refuses to find some component's metadata. So on I go to download the offline version.
Meanwhile (1.4GB takes quite a while to download), I look around for alternatives. I had heard about GTK+ but forgot to investigate. Saw a C++ wrapper called gtkmm. Download. Install. Add properties sheets for VC2010, included in installer. Write some example code. Build. Run. One small warning. Running smoothly. And one small but lovely detail: a "Side Effects" section in the installer, stating the modified environment variables. That's too rare.
Qt wasn't even done downloading.
So I guess I'll stick with gtkmm. No ugly macros, easy install, multiplatform. What more to ask for?
(Edit / Spoiler: easy GL context creation? One cannot have it all... We'll see how it ends.)

No products
Prices are tax excluded
The idea for Passionfruit was born back in 2004 when we realised that the few (2 to be exact) existing South African adult shops were not very trustworthy, difficult to navigate, badly merchandised and offering poor client service. We saw an opportunity to create a professional as well as safe e-commerce portal and to offer a bigger product range along with better customer service. In June 2005 our online sex shop was launched. Today, just over a decade young, Passionfruit has long established its reputation as one of South Africa's most reputable online sex toy retailers.
Passionfruit is run by a dedicated & dynamic team. We love what we do and we take pride in offering friendly, knowledgeable, responsive and personal support. It is our desire to know that all our customers are always 100% satisfied (in every sense of the word). We will go the extra mile to ensure that each and every customer who deals with Passionfruit has an exceptional experience.
We love what we do and we understand the needs of the sex toy industry in South Africa. Passionfruit is dedicated to making the world's most popular adult toys and sex accessories available to all South Africans no matter where they live. Our 300sqm warehouse is packed to the roof with the latest and the greatest adult products waiting to satisfy their new owner(s). All the products you see on our website are in stock and most of our orders are delivered within 24-48 hours. That alongside our no-quibble refund policy, flat-rate shipping, and professional and friendly service keeps our customers confident and coming back for more.

|'Old Ginger' statue
The Haining Charitable Trust have kindly agreed to Dandie enthusiasts erecting a statue in memory of the breed's founding father 'Old Ginger' at his birthplace in the grounds of The Haining. A 'Just Giving' campaign has been started to raise the necessary funds for this, with the aim of getting the statue completed in time for unveiling on Old Ginger's 175th birthday on June 4th 2017. The statue will be life size and the work of a leading Scottish sculptor, to be hot cast in bronze.
Every Dandie Dinmont alive today is descended tail-male from Old Ginger. He was bred by Robert Pringle at The Haining, but was later owned by Mr Eaglesfield Bradshaw-Smith of Blackwoodhouse, Ecclefechan. If you would like to see how your Dandie is related to Old Ginger, type your Dandie's pedigree name in the search box below...
The Trustees will also allow us to carry out some much needed restoration and repair work to Old Ginger's run and kennel building, but we will have to raise the funds for this. Again we are hoping that this will be funded from the Just Giving account.
Since the account was activated there have already been many generous donations. If you feel you would like to help, please visit the fundraising page and click on "donate".
It is quite remarkable that Old Ginger's kennels are still in existence. It is even more remarkable that they are on a Grade A listed estate which happens to be administered by a forward thinking group of Trustees who recognise that the Dandie Dinmont Terrier is an important part of the estate's heritage.

Developer Contributions Scheme
The Habitats Directive requires the potential effects of spatial and land use plans (ie Local Plans) on European sites such as the River Mease Special Area of Conservation (SAC) to be assessed. This Developer Contribution Scheme (DCS) is the result of this assessment and provides a strategic approach to off‐setting the negative effects of development.
All new housing and commercial development which contribute additional waste water (and therefore phosphate) through a sewage treatment works which discharges into the River Mease catchment will have a direct impact on water quality and will be required to provide developer contributions or undertake appropriate mitigation.
The River Restoration Plan has been developed for the River Mease and Gilwiskaw Brook to help achieve the objectives of the Habitats Directive and the Water Framework Directive, which are pieces of European legislation that aim for SAC rivers to achieve favourable condition and good ecological status respectively. The River Restoration Plan incorporates a range of restoration measures, some of which can be directly linked to benefits in terms of reducing levels of phosphorous. These are the projects which are being delivered by the Developer Contributions Scheme along with education measures and a silt trap.
There are a number of documents which contribute towards the improvements to the River Mease SAC:
- River Mease SSSI/SAC Restoration Plan
- River Mease Water Quality (Phosphate) Management Plan
- Developer Contributions Scheme
- Developer Contributions Scheme Appendix 1 – Measures to be funded through the Developer Contributions Scheme
Revised River Mease SAC Contributions Strategy for Consultation
North West Leicestershire District Council, South Derbyshire District Council and Lichfield District Council, working in partnership with the River Mease Programme Board* has published an updated Developer Contributions Strategy (DCS2) for a consultation period which ends at 5pm on Friday 5th August 2016.
The DCS2 follows the publication of the Water Quality Management Plan for the River Mease and once adopted will enable these local authorities to continue to allow a limited amount of development within the river catchment provided a financial contribution is made in line with the DCS2.
Any comments received on the DCS2 will be considered by the River Mease Programme Board before the respective planning authorities in the catchment area are asked to adopt the document.
Please click this link to view the Developer Contribution Scheme 2 (DCS2), DCS2 Appendix 1 and Non-technical summary.
Please make any representations online using Citizen Space or via email to firstname.lastname@example.com
*The River Mease Programme Board comprises of: The Environment Agency, Natural England, Severn Trent Water, North West Leicestershire District Council, South Derbyshire District Council & Lichfield District Council

Leadership 2003: Are Successful Leaders Born or Made?
By CIOinsight Print
What does it take to be a leader today? More than 750 IT executives surveyed said the most important personal characteristics are the ability to inspire and the vision thing. What can you do if you don't measure up? There's good news: Leadership can be ta
The results of this month's research are available in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. (To download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in, click here.)
Are Successful Leaders Born or Made?
68% Say Their Companies' Overall Quality of Leadership is High
74% Of CIOs are on their companies' executive committees
81% Cite IT/business liaison as the most critical leadership
47% Have participated in leadership development programs in their current company
When you hear the word "leader," what comes to mind? More than likely, words such as "smart," "creative" and "strategic" will be high on the list. But according to the more than 750 senior IT executives who participated in this month's research survey, the really critical issues are "relationship building," "communications skills" and "inspiration." Clearly, leadership ability is a combination of personal traits and acquired skills. And rising toward the top of the list of characteristics that make a good leader: Integrity. Yet as important as integrity and personal ethics are in shaping leaders, our survey respondents also place a high value on leadership-development training programs. More than 80 percent of them believe that leadership can be taught, and a strong majority of them have participated in leadership-development programs at some point in their career. But even though our readers think highly of leadership programs, even more of them participate in less-formal methods to sharpen their leadership skills. Top of that list: reading.

RICHARDSON, WALTER RALEIGH (1839–1909). Walter Raleigh Richardson, Protestant Episcopal Church minister, was born in Houston, Texas, on May 3, 1839. He attended St. Paul's College, Anderson, and later taught at Wharton College, Austin. He enrolled in 1860 in the Berkeley Divinity School at Middletown, Connecticut. When the Civil War broke out, he managed to get through the lines and return to his home in Houston, where he was ordained on February 23, 1862, the first native Texan to become an Episcopal clergyman. Richardson served as rector of St. Stephen's, Huntsville, and became rector of St. Mark's, San Antonio, on June 1, 1869. Under his leadership the church building was completed in 1875. After the Missionary District of Western Texas was set apart from the Diocese of Texas in 1874, Bishop Robert W. B. Elliott believed that a cathedral would strengthen the work of the church. Accordingly, St. Mark's Church was designated as the cathedral, with Richardson as dean. Bishop James Steptoe Johnston, who succeeded Elliott in 1887, did not wish to continue this arrangement, so St. Mark's resumed its status as a parish church. Richardson was known, however, as "Dean Richardson" for the rest of his life. Although not considered an eloquent preacher, he was a faithful and diligent pastor and exerted great influence in San Antonio. He was much interested in the aesthetic side of worship and raised the music of St. Mark's to a high standard. He also did much of the wood carving and interior ornamentation of the church. Richardson was never married. He was injured in an accident in 1891 and gradually became more infirm; he resigned his charge in 1906 and was named rector emeritus. He died on April 8, 1909.

Poka Yoke
Poka-Yoke is a Japanese term that means "mistake-proofing". A Poka-Yoke is any mechanism in a lean manufacturing process that helps an equipment operator avoid (yokeru) mistakes (poka). Its purpose is to eliminate product defects by preventing, correcting, or drawing attention to human errors as they occur. The concept was formalised, and the term adopted, by Shigeo Shingo as part of the Toyota Production System. It was originally described as baka-yoke, but as this means "fool-proofing" (or "idiot-proofing") the name was changed to the milder Poka-Yoke.
