Skřivánek (deutsch Lerchenhof) ist ein Ortsteil der Gemeinde Okrouhlička in Tschechien. Er liegt acht Kilometer südlich von Havlíčkův Brod und gehört zum Okres Havlíčkův Brod.

Geographie
Die Streusiedlung Skřivánek befindet sich in der Böhmisch-Mährischen Höhe um den Hügel Skřivánek (550 m). Durch den Ort führt die Staatsstraße 38 zwischen Havlíčkův Brod und Štoky. Südlich erhebt sich die Vysočina (Hochberg, 621 m) und im Südwesten der Vápenný kopec (Altschafferhübel, 597 m).

Nachbarorte sind Suchá und Květnov im Norden, Čistá und Vysoká im Nordosten, Smilov im Osten, Pozovice im Südosten, Na Vysočině und Štoky im Süden, Studénka im Südwesten, Okrouhlička im Westen sowie Lípa und U Kostelíka im Nordwesten.

Geschichte
Lerchenhof  war ursprünglich ein Freigut, das auf dem Lerchenberg errichtet wurde. Unterhalb des Berges entstand südlich im Grund der Weiler Herluktschenhäusel. Zusammen mit Scheibeldorf wurde das Gut Lerchenhof 1685 an die Herrschaft Pollerskirchen angeschlossen. 1793 verkaufte Leopold Fučikovský von Grünhof die Güter Lerchenhof und Scheibeldorf an den Kuttenberger Bürger Jan Antonín Rychlý. In der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts erfolgte östlich des Gutes der Bau der neuen Kaiserstraße von Prag nach Wien auf geradem Wege von Deutschbrod nach Stecken. An der Straße entstand die Siedlung Lerchenhof. 1831 verkauften die Erben von Georg Ritter von Lilienwald das Gut Lerchenhof mit den zugehörigen Dörfern Lerchenhorf und Scheibelsdorf an Josef Benedikt Heller. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt umfasste der Gutsbezirk 420 Einwohner. Lerchenhof selbst bestand aus sieben Häusern, in denen 36 Menschen lebten.

Nach der Aufhebung der Patrimonialherrschaften bildete Lerchenhof ab 1850 einen Ortsteil der Gemeinde Scheibelsdorf im Bezirk Deutschbrod. Zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde der Ortsname als Skřivánek ins Tschechische übertragen. Zwischen 1976 und 1990 war Skřivánek zusammen mit Okrouhlička nach Štoky eingemeindet. 1991 hatte der Ort 23 Einwohner. Im Jahre 2001 bestand das Dorf aus 17 Wohnhäusern, in denen 20 Menschen lebten.

WATCH: As Scott Brown Moves To New Hampshire, Republicans Attack Shaheen
Henry Decker
December 17 | 2013
Former senator Scott Brown (R-MA) reportedly plans to move to New Hampshire, furthering speculation that he will challenge Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) in her 2014 re-election bid.
Brown has become a near-ubiquitous presence in New Hampshire politics since losing his 2012 re-election campaign by 8 percent to Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). Brown has donated money to the New Hampshire state Republican Party, appeared at public events across the state throughout the fall, and most recently agreed to headline the New Hampshire Republican State Committee's annual holiday party on December 19.
Polls suggest that Brown would be the strongest challenger to Senator Shaheen, but he would still be fighting an uphill battle. A Brown campaign would have to fight off accusations of carbetbagging; the former senator would certainly have to explain why he chose to seek a Senate seat in New Hampshire rather than run again in his native Massachusetts. He would also have to answer questions about his record in the Senate, which may be too conservative for a state in which President Barack Obama defeated part-time New Hampshire resident Mitt Romney by 6 percent in 2012. Additionally, Shaheen — who served three terms as governor before being elected to the Senate in 2008 — is a relatively popular incumbent; the most recent poll of New Hampshire, conducted in October by WMUR, found that 57 percent of New Hampshirites view Shaheen favorably, while just 22 percent have an unfavorable opinion of her.
In anticipation of a tough race, the Ending Spending Action Fund — a conservative SuperPAC funded by billionaire Joe Ricketts — announced on Monday that it would begin airing a television ad attacking Shaheen's support for the Affordable Care Act. Although the ad is not as attention-grabbing as the SuperPAC's most famous idea — a proposed 2012 ad that would have branded President Obama as a "metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln" — expect to see variations of its "if you like your senator, you can keep her; if you don't, you know what to do" line throughout the 2014 campaigns.

EPA hopes to complete Kingston report by July 16
Ann Strosnider — Apr 16th, 2004
The Environmental Protection Agency now expects to have its final report on the new Kingston high school site completed by July 16.
The EPA plans to begin air and water sampling at the former Nike missile site April 27, said Denise Baker, site assessment manager for the EPA, in an e-mail follow-up to a March 16 meeting on the issue.
"EPA will not rush this investigation so much that we put in question the precision and accuracy of the data we will gather for this site, and for you," Baker said in her message to those who attended the meeting.
"As long as EPA is certain we are doing our best work to protect your health and the environment, we will continue to do everything possible to complete our work by July 16."
Baker said she had spoken with Rick Kimball, environmental coordinator for the Kitsap County Department of Community Development, who confirmed that the county had decided to hold off on issuing the North Kitsap School District a permit to break ground for the new high school until the county receives EPA's report.
"Mr. Kimball told me that he would need our report by July 16 in order to issue his permit by the beginning of August," Baker said.
The school district hopes to begin grading by August in order to stay on track to get the school built and ready to open in September 2006.
U.S. Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Bainbridge Island, wrote to the EPA last week urging the agency to complete its review as quickly as possible.

ACTORS : Mia Sara, Dennis Boutsikaris, Adrian Pasdar
SKU: SKU1196 Categories: Drama, T.V Movie
Big Time Fran is a fashion model who regards modeling as an empty profession and yearns to become a serious actress, Michael is successful investment banker and the man who supports Fran, and Paul commercial cameraman/photographer who is Michael's friend and Fran's lover.
Fans of Mia Sara, this is the place!
Big Time For Mia Sara admirers, this movie is the best exhibition of her beauty and talents of anything she's done. Her lead role gives her plenty of screen time and acting range, and you'll actually feel as if you've gotten to know her a little. In the DVD featurette, director Egleson explains this interesting little made-for-TV pic about a love triangle set in Manhattan in the late 80's: 1.)It was made for PBS's "American Playhouse" series 2.) It was based on a play by Keith Reddin 3.)It draws heavily from Jean Luc Godard's "Contempt" (1963). Ms. Sara plays a beautiful young fashion model/actress who gradually gains her own sense of identity in the tumult of TWO more or less abusive relationships. Adrian Pasdar and Dennis Boutsikaris are fine as the two boyfriends, more insecure than they are bad. Among the many surprising things about this movie are a haunting orchestral music score by (apparently) Pat Metheny, and the appearance of the artist Jean Michel Basquiat as a homeless graffiti artist. Some may find the privileged characters superficial, but overall I highly recommend this earnest film – it deals with fidelity, impermanence, the making of film, the meaning of art, political commitment, and much else that you wouldn't expect to find from the Netflix blurb! And Ms. Sara's stirring beauty and fine acting leave you a bit wistful, wishing she had done more like this….
A small budget gem that should be seen.
Big Time This picture was recommended to me by Netflix. It was listed as a made-for-tv movie in full screen. Knowing nothing about the DVD, I rented it. I was pleasantly surprised. It was made for PBS when they had guts (a pair of nipples are shown and the "F-word" is spoken) and it is in anamorphic widescreen.
The basic theme has to do with fidelity. But this film is more about style than substance. It's framework is about art – performing, performance, visual, literary and cinematic. In fact the amount of referencing sometimes gets in the way of the film. This is especially true in the cinematic references. Is that Bergan…Welles…Peter Greenway. The number of films referenced (both visually and orally) is staggering. Sometimes, it is overkill. Animation, music video, grainy black & white, deep focus, split focus; it goes on and on. Sometimes, the director tries to be too clever.
You could get carried away in its themes if you take it to seriously. Metamorphous, change, fidelity, superficiality… But that is over kill. And some times this film gets close to over kill. Artistically there are moments when everything is thrown in including the proverbial kitchen sink.
Still, you will enjoy it. It is an extraordinary little film that does most things right. I highly recommend it.

Silk Brocade
kristyjo
This is a longer piece in the "not quite ambient, not really electronica" category. It's written completely with the midi synths from GarageBand and JamPacks. It's also done completely in the 'do' pentatone, giving it the Asian flavor for which the title was named. I've been very busy with school music projects and end of year deadlines, so I haven't had a chance to post very much. This is the type of piece I could keep tweaking forever, but I thought I'd post it now, and let you all comment to see if there are particular suggestions that would improve it.

You have created some very listenable music here. I am not the one to give detailed critique on this, I do not know anything/enough of this pentatone music, I just sit still and enjoy! I instantly did think of Kitaro and his albums Silk Road, one of which I own and like. An inspiration of yours? (His website is http://www.kitaromusic.com/ if anyone is interested.) Thanks for sharing (a sure DL)!

Thanks for your kind comments
I don't know Kitaro, but I thank you for the link so I can go and hear some of that music. I have been doing a bit of experimenting in this style of music, and don't have many finished products that reach the standard I feel they should be at to post, so I appreciate your comments on this piece very much.

Nice sound scape_____
Kristine you put this together well. I enjoy a synth breakfast now and then and you delivered. The layers are kind of synthetic but not un- pleasing. This reminds me of some of my new age music I made some years ago with an old Yamaha DX7. Thanks for taking me back there for a moment.
I enjoyed and thanks for sharing,

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Glad you came to listen. The sounds are quite candidly synthesized on this piece, as you point out. I'm still working to get some warmth and emotion in the midi instruments, and that may take me a lifetime to figure out!

the huge gong is SO awesome - i love your stately creation!
it's a wonderful exotic dish - delicious to the ear.
I love the gong, too.
I have a Nepalese gong that my son just used for a percussion ensemble at school. It's nice, but I still like the big sound of this software gong for this piece. Thanks for coming over and listening. I also appreciate the time you took to make comments. See ya round!

sounds authentic to me
Very nicely done, Kristine! You've managed to acheive what sounds to me like a very authentic oriental feel.
This isn't a criticism or even a suggestion, but I noticed that the instrument you use when the pentatonic melody comes in (it has a quasi-plucked string quality) has a fairly prominent overtone that, when it plays "la" in the pentatonic scale (do-re-mi-so-la) sounds like a major third above the fundamental note, so you get the unexpected sound of a "di" (i.e., do sharp, in this case an F double sharp) over the "la" (D#)... if that makes any sense. At least I think that's it (?). I would guess it's the sort of thing that you can't change (even if you wanted to, which I don't think is necessary), but it is slightly disarming, or interesting, depending on how you look at it!
Good to see you back and posting again!
Check out my latest song called A Little Song About Our Mom
I always enjoy getting comments from you. To be honest, I didn't even notice that particular overtone in the mix until you pointed it out (My student teacher says emerging research says that girls focus on fundamentals and boys focus on overtones when they listen, thus the reason more boys have difficulty 'matching pitch' than girls [also why boys think the music teacher is persecuting them, and the music teacher thinks boys are being stubborn] but I digress.) I'm not sure I could 'take it out' of there, because I'm sure it's caused by a sympathetic situation with one of the lower voices doing a pedal point (which I can't even hear on these speakers, by the way, and which may not even come through on the mp3 version I've posted.) I'm glad though, that you take the time to listen critically - that's one of the reasons I'm so pleased when I see you've left a comment on a song of mine. Thanks!
If more boys than girls find it harder to match pitches, my theory would be that it has to do with boys being more reluctant to sing in general - my daughter's school choir has something like 20 girls and 5 boys, and we get an average of 40-50 young women auditioning in voice for admission into our School of Music, and maybe only 5-8 young men - and I think the more you sing, the better you get at matching pitch. Also, and this may be more far-fetched, but I think higher pitches may be easier to match than lower ones... not sure about that, but that seemed to be the case when I taught sight-singing (which I haven't done in something like 14 years, so I may be mis-remembering!).
Interesting discussion, though!
By the way, I agree with paul f. page's comment below about maybe stretching the ending out more--it felt slightly abrupt to me too.

overtones...
I'm so glad composer Clark can articulate Music Theory--because even though I have a degree in music, I can't carry on an intelligent discussion about Theory--I just know what I hear! (Is there something somewhere that talks about how people who struggle with Mathematics also struggle with Music Theory?)
Anyway....I, too, heard that overtone upon first listen yesterday and thought how cool it was that you employed that device! I can never remember the sequence of overtones, but it's always a very intriguing thing to listen to--especially in the context of Oriental music.
I really like this composition, Kristy--it's a lovely, rich tapestry. Glad to hear you posting again, too! :)

Misty - glad you stopped by
I actually taught freshman theory for three years in the recent past. About half of my class one year was math majors trying to get a fine arts requirement in, and music theory would do it for them. They could write exercises like crazy, and everything was always correct. One of them said he treated theory like 'math you can hear', and the theory rules like mathematical formulas. Hey, it worked for him. I still have trouble hearing that overtone in this piece, but in a reworked instrumentation, It stuck out so much that I changed it, because it bothered me so much, since it never resolved. Thanks for commenting. I'm always pleased to know musicians I respect have enjoyed one of my songs!

Silky!
Rich expansive feel. Nicely captured cultural feel. Pleasant ambience.
Check out my latest song called Don't Leave (remix)
I debated the title I gave this, because it DID feel 'bigger' and more expansive than 'Silk Brocade', so my husband suggested, "The Japanese Fleet Sails Out of Hitokappu Bay" (That's where the Japanese set off from to bomb Pearl Harbor.) What a kidder. After that suggestion, I decided to just leave the title alone, but thanks for listening, noticing, and commenting.
Dusk...
...on the Old Silk Road...
Nice ambience. Very evocative...I really enjoyed when the melodic part kicked in...so Asian sounding...Love the cymbal work...like gongs in the distance...This is a very nice composition Kristy. Kind of new gae cinematic...contemplative...
Arrrggh!
That's supposed to read: "new AGE cinematic..."

Smoothe as...
...Silk. I am a big fan of the whole tone scale. It's hard to go wrong no matter what you play! You've done a really fine job sustaining the general flavor of this composition from its first note to the end. I imagine a rather grand landscape, perhaps inside a Buddhist temple with lots of gold and jade and candles and incense. Very grand, very peaceful, very prayerful. My advice: just leave this completely alone. You have done such a superior job on it.
(one minor suggestion: take a v-e-r-y long fade at the end. It seems just a bit abrupt. You can sustain the feeling even further with about 30 seconds of very VERY gradual drift-off. ... Otherwise, what a delight this piece is.)
Check out my latest song called Caprice
Oh no...
You've revealed my secret! Any pentatonic scale avoids those clashes of half steps. That's why it's used a lot in music education when we do ostinatos or improvisation - Any pattern sounds decent on the xylophone as long as the player sticks to those five tones. I appreciate your description of the grand landscape. I can see it, too, now. I appreciate your comments, and you may note that others feel that last note should be sustained a bit longer, as well. It's already done, here at home. Maybe not worth a repost, but definitely an improvement. Thanks for listening!

I'm always so glad when you listen to a piece I've written, and then leave those wonderful, uplifting comments. I used to listen to a lot of John Michael Talbot, but that was when I was listening to LPs, so it was awhile ago. Maybe his music was a subtle influence on this composition. i'm glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Kristy: Nice and misterious.....
like the Far East seems to me....also rather excited on my upcoming trip to China in a couple months, my first real time experience with that Country, besides Chinese food. Very interesting and very different from Western music, as different from Bach as it can be, yet also beautiful. To my amateur ear, your piece sounds fantastic! You have not posted in a while and I hope you are able to do it a bit more often.Thank you for sharing.

A trip to China? How wonderful! Of course, I'm sure the music will sound VERY different from this. The main Asian elements in this music are the 5 tone scale and the 'plucked' sound of the melody instrument. But those two elements by themselves are enough to suggest the orient to many of our amateur ears. I'm glad you enjoyed the music. Maybe when you come back, you'll be able to post some of your own musical expressions of China.

nice. i really like this. i have no critiques: sounds are all very synthetic but perfectly chosen, i love the windchimes. what did you use for that? a really beautiful piece. thanks for sharing.

I'm glad you liked the windchimes. They are part of the orchestra drum kit that came with the orchestral instruments jampack. There are three variations on the chimes, including ascending, descending and general wash of sound. I think that deep inside, I'm really an 'auxilary drum parts' person, because I really enjoy playing around with that stuff. Thank you for your kind comments.
all you need is to find a jampack with a galss harmonica included.

Certainly has an Asian feel to it.
What's curious is that what we regard as asian or at least what I do is greatly filtered and homogenized by western composers especially film composers. When you hear "raw" asian or Chinese music it can be a little difficult to get into even unsettling.
This is a graceful composition and a wonderful suggestion of Asian music. The ending is a little abrupt would have liked to to linger on a bit more. Still I liked it quite a bit.

Thanks for stopping by, Charlie
I agree, what I have here is 'Asian lite', and is definitely a western composition. I used to get very uptight about authenticity of style, instrumentation, form, and purpose of any music outside of my own culture. That's great for the 'musicologist' in me, but for the composer side, I've started to loosen up a bit, and I consider ALL of my music a fusion of genres and styles, rather than an authentic expression of any other musical culture. I'm glad you found it graceful, and as for your suggestion to lengthen the ending, I agree, and although I won't repost it, that change has been made on my master file. I appreciate your thoughtful comments!

Good afternoon Kristine
I'm enjoying reading all the different comments from each seperate point of reference... from people I love by the way... I don't know much about theory, but I know my fretboard... and when my learned friends explain something to me I usually realise... "I knew that"...
but I do know that music speaks and transports, and that you gave me a little free trip to the orient this afternoon...
excellent friend

It conjured visions of travelogues of the east. Also, of majestic asian movie scenes. Maybe these kind of compositions could provide you some extra income. Lot of travel cable shows out there.

Super friends
Move over, Clark Kent. All over New England, mild-mannered citizens are suiting up and doing their part to play the hero.
By TEA KRULOS | December 11, 2009
STREET JUSTICE: Real-life superheroes are now so numerous throughout the country that they have a national organization, Superheroes Anonymous. New England regional heroes include, second from left, Basilisk, Civitron, Beau Shay Monde, and Recluse. Rapper Tem Blessed (far left) has collaborated with Civitron.
THWAK! I swing with my right fist, trying to connect with my opponent's face. In a smooth motion, he deflects my punch with his forearm, which is protected with a black and metallic-plastic arm gauntlet. I swing with my left fist, and am again knocked away effortlessly. I can see my reflection in his sunglasses, framed in white. He smiles and smoothes out his red and white spandex shirt — adorned with a letter "C," a flame shooting out of the top — and then crouches into a fighting stance.
"Oh, no," I think. "I'm about to get my ass kicked by a Lycra-wearing superhero."
This non-caped crusader goes by the name of Civitron, and lucky for me, our combat is not a battle royale to the death. Rather, we are sparring at Rebelo's Kenpo Karate, in New Bedford, where Civitron has trained under sensei Joseph "Kenpo Joe" Rebelo on and off for more than 10 years. We aren't alone.
Twelve other "real-life superheroes," striking and grappling, are crowded into the dojo for a martial-arts workshop led by Rebelo (who, despite his superhero-sounding last name, is not a member of this tribe). The heroes have flown in — by plane — from all over the country to take part in a three-day conference called "Superheroes Anonymous," which is akin to a modern-day Justice League confab. They are wearing a multi-hued rainbow of spandex costumes, but there is also an emphasis on "real." These aren't the chiseled matinee-idol muscle men and women of the comics pages — more like the people with whom you ride the bus. Yes, some are athletic and tall, but some are short with pot bellies. It's doubtful these heroes will put the fear of God into real-life hoodlums, let alone the Penguin or Dr. Octopus.
"We come in all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and beliefs," says Civitron. (In the tradition of protecting a superhero's alter ego, these heroes agreed to speak with the Phoenix as long as we could assure them their secret identities would be safe.) There is Nyx, a curvy New Jersey woman, dressed in gray leotards with a red dust mask covering her lower face. She is sparring against Zimmer, who has just arrived from Austin. Zimmer, short and wiry, wears a spandex shirt, the binary code for the letter "Z" streaming down one side. Zetaman traveled from Portland, Oregon, with a suitcase full of bulky blue plastic armor (superheroes of other eras never had to get their costumes through airport security). Scavenger has on a black mask and corset; black plastic streamers hang from her arms. Her main focus, superhero-wise, is picking up litter in Waterbury, Connecticut, where she has traveled from with her friend, the mountainous Runebringer. He is wrapped in a large gray coat with runic characters decorating his chest.

In the 1930s and '40s, Boston painters developed a moody, mythic realism. They mixed social satire with depictions of street scenes, Biblical scenes, and mystical symbolic narratives, all of it darkened by the shadow of the Great Depression and World War II.

TMS names Draft chief as Euro boss
Global integrated agency The Marketing Store (TMS) has poached Catherine Gale, a senior executive with Interpublic Group's Draft network, to be its European chief executive. The appointment follows a major restructure and a six-month search for someone to head the European operation.
Gale will report to TMS global chief operating officer Dave Tridle and will handle existing big-name European clients, including Cereal Partners Worldwide, McDonald's, Shell and Unilever. She will also be working on new business. Reporting to her will be a new European management team and the managing directors of TMS's European offices.
Gale has had a long and high-profile career, including stints as WCRS European marketing director, business development director at OgilvyOne in London, Grey Direct International managing director and head of the integrated communications division at Saatchi & Saatchi. She has been with Draft for three years, most recently as managing director for the Asia-Pacific region. She had responsibility for $70m- (£37m-) worth of business from clients that include HSBC, Johnson & Johnson, Singapore Airlines and Unilever.
TMS has a global turnover of £275m across 11 offices.

The Power Plate® My7™ has everything one needs to reap the benefits of vibration training.
Power Plate is a well-known player in the fast-growing vibration training market and the My7 is its elite model. VibrationPlateReview.com gives the My7 a 96 out of 100 ranking.
At an MSRP of $7,999 one of the only drawbacks of the My7 is that it's pricey, but with the power of 30-40 hertz, a 32 x 22 platform and 300-pound unit weight this is a commercial quality machine.
Users will notice sturdiness as well as a smooth vibration feel when exercising.
The adjustable proMotion™ hand straps work well with an adjustable amount of tension from the vibration machine. It also includes a touchscreen to enhance the workout.
One concern with the Power Plate® My7™is the hefty price tag. The aforementioned touchscreen boosts the price up several thousand more dollars than other similar machines, such as the 3G Cardio 6.0 Vibration Machine that offers a free iPad app to enhance its vibration training workouts.
The Power Plate® My7 also has had some electronics issues and parts availability and repairs have sometimes taken longer than dealers we've talked to would like.

Cladding testing, installation & removal
The tragic Grenfell Tower fire in London in 2017 put the matter of building cladding materials in the public spotlight. It is believed that the external cladding installed recently on the building contributed to the extremely fast spread and fierce nature of the fire.
Numerous owners and managers of buildings clad with Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) all over the UK found themselves testing, and often replacing or removing, cladding that doesn't conform to the safety regulations and puts life, health and property at risk. Although only one high-rise residential development in Scotland (in Glasgow) was found to be extensively clad in ACM cladding, smaller amounts of ACM can be found on many other high-rise buildings, and it's common on lower buildings (under 18m), where it's considered to be relatively less of a safety hazard.
Removing, replacing and installing cladding
especially on high-rise buildings, is a task that requires either extensive scaffolding, or employing highly skilled rope access technicians.
Rope access is particularly suitable for partial removal and replacement of cladding, and for collecting samples for testing in cases of doubt. Especially in such situations it is much cheaper, easier and faster to use rope access than scaffolding, without compromising safety of the residents of the building or your staff.
Contact HiSolution for a quote, survey or to discuss your cladding related project.

Keep Christ in Christmas, fight pressure to conform to world, pope says
Posted on November 16, 2015 by Administrator1

By Carol Glatz Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Keeping the "Christ" in "Christmas" is part of not giving in to pressure to conform to the "norm" and become like nonbelievers, Pope Francis said in a morning homily.
Giving in to the things of the world is like saying, "Let's put our ID up for auction. We are the same as everyone," the pope said.
Celebrating an early morning Mass Nov. 16, Pope Francis warned against the very small, hidden way worldliness takes root in a culture and then leads to apostasy and religious persecution.
In fact, "the liturgy in these final days of the liturgical year" urges people to be careful of the "poisonous roots" that lead people away from God, he said.
The pope focused on the day's reading from the First Book of the Maccabees in which many "children of Israel" wanted an alliance with the Gentiles in order to be better protected. They abandoned their religious practices and covenant with God, and took to the pagan ways of the Gentiles.
The pope said the reading showed how the king's order to create one identical people led to apostasy.
"In the history of the church, in history, we have seen — I'm thinking of one example — how the name of religious holidays has been changed — Christmas has another name, in order to erase identity."
But this new "humanism" in which differences are not accepted leads to religious persecution, the pope said, as the day's first reading shows how those who were determined to keep to their religious practices were condemned to death by royal decree.
"It begins with a root, it's small, and it ends in the abomination of desolation, in persecution. This is the deceit of worldliness," he said.
Today, too, there is pressure from "this humanism that comes to take the place of the true man, Jesus Christ, that comes to take away our Christian identity and leads us to a single way of thinking: 'Everyone does it this way, why not us?'"
He said people today must ask themselves, "What is my identity? Christian or worldly? Or do I say I'm a Christian became I was baptized as a baby and I was born in a Christian nation where everyone is a Christian?"
Worldliness seeps into one's life very slowly and then grows, it seems justified and backed by sound reason, "and in the end it contaminates, and many evils come from there," he said.
The pope asked that people pray that God protect them from taking on a worldly mentality and the desire to be "normal" and like everyone else. He also asked that the church always keep its identity grounded in Jesus.

Diebold Nixdorf awarded contract in Myanmar
Repository staff report
Diebold Nixdorf will be supplying 500 automatic teller machines, along with systems, software and services to Co-Operative Bank Ltd., better known as CB Bank, in Myanmar.
GREEN One of the largest banks in Myanmar, CB Bank, has awarded a contract for systems, software and services to Diebold Nixdorf.
The contract allows CB Bank — officially known was Co-Operative Bank Limited — to expand its self-service cash offerings beyond Myanmar's main commercial hub of Yangon. Plans are for CB Bank to add 500 new ATMs and cash recyclers to its current network of 500 terminals supplied by Diebold Nixdorf.
In advance of this deal, Diebold Nixdorf had helped CB Bank transfer its ATMs to a secure technology. It also helped the bank get certification for EMV technology with Visa and Mastercard. EMV stands for Europay, Mastercard and VISA, and is an international standard for authenticating chip-card transactions.
Diebold Nixdorf expects to have the new equipment installed by the end of this year. The company then will service the 1,000 ATMs and advanced cash systems that will be part of CB Bank's network of 180 branches.
Diebold Nixdorf is working with Kaytumadi iSolutions on the Myanmar project. The ATM company has been working with CB Bank since 2012.

Chapter 4.05 – Skinny Punk Junkie
It had happened again. He had lost control of his meddling with a human. Only this time, it mattered. She was still out there, walking around, with a head full of his own memories.
At first, he'd cursed himself for allowing her to slip away. But then, once composed, he could justify his decision.
He would have made a swift meal out of one Jessica Spoon, had it not been for three valid reasons.
First, she was pregnant and he knew better than to drink from a pregnant human. The nausea it induced paled in comparison to the hormonal fluctuations it caused. He could still hear Lilith's sneering laugh – her mocking him as he wept uncontrollably over every tiny thing for four goddamn days. The first, and last, time he had ever made that mistake.
Second, he couldn't shake the familiarity. Despite her not having any features that reminded him explicitly of Angeline, Jessica did remind him of someone, or something. The compulsion to connect those dots far exceeded his compulsion to end her life.
The third reason, and perhaps the most compelling, was that he found her unceasingly fascinating. She appeared to have been able to talk to Paul post-mortem, and therefore she knew how the barely-dressed man had died and that Seth existed, something very few could claim.
What else might she know? Who else could she speak to?
If Jessica Spoon truly could commune with the dead, the potential was endless. What one could learn. What havoc one could cause. What mysteries once could solve.
And, if he could learn how to exploit that, to exploit her…
His preference was, naturally, to take this ability from her, but with all his current, ah, misfires he had deemed this too risky.
Plan B, and one he couldn't quite believe he'd been pushed to, was far less his style, but he was sure he could pull it off. At least in the short term.
He was going to have to earn her trust.
He was in no doubt whatsoever that if Jessica Spoon could talk to the spirits of the deceased, she would find some here. The sealed crypt in the Vatore's garden must've held a hundred souls, if not more. A century of drained corpses and an endless mound of evidence that Lilith's one mission, to wean her rogue brother from the taste of fresh blood, was just as fruitless as her other.
Almost every soul in that crypt would tell Jessica that it was the fanged phallus who had ended them. Seth could paint himself as turning over a new leaf, pursuing the path of good and simply wishing for Jessica's assistance to return these unfortunate humans to their rightful kin. She seemed like exactly the kind who'd want to believe that.
Of course, should all else fail – should Jessica prove to be difficult, nothing but a fraud or a trickster – the dense woodland of Forgotten Hollow was the perfect place to gut her. The harmony of frantic pleas and choked screams sounded all the more melodic echoing around the dense grove encompassing the Vatore house.
The crypt would be the perfect place to stow what remained. Poetic.
The media had indeed lost interest in Forgotten Hollow, and the forest around Seth was once again the still and silent space he had stalked throughout his existence. A vacuum devoid of breeze and all life. The Vatore house stood in darkness, seemingly abandoned, judging by the rancid entrails remaining in the pantry and Lilith's absent undergarments.
Seth had briefly pondered where she may have gone; he doubted that she would wish to reside in the old cottage in Windenburg, with all its reminders of her glory days or – as she referred to them – her failures.
He scoffed. He could picture her, carting Caleb around like a workhorse, preaching her bland, joyless and ultimately pointless lifestyle to her new followers; the moral motherless, the brain-dead blonde and his fickle fledgling.
No. He corrected himself. The.
The fickle fledgling.
Not his.
He left the porch and hopped up on to the cold, stone slab atop the crypt, deliberately diverting his spiralling thoughts from the abyss they were so drawn to, and focusing on his latest pursuit.
Befriending Jessica Spoon.
He knew that it was only a matter time until Jessica and her cohorts arrived, following the route that he had inadvertently given her.
Her thirst for answers would bring her here as it had brought him.
He only had to wait.
Wyatt was eternally grateful that April had chosen to stick with him through everything, sincerely, he was. But, bless her unbeating little heart, she was as terrible at domestic duties as he was. Possibly even worse.
Wearing a shirt that smelled like various types of cheese, Wyatt had taken a diversion via the local store on his way to work. The pizza rolls April had warmed up for him had been as hot as the sun on the outside, but frozen in the middle. He really couldn't risk forcing them down to spare her feelings and having the craps for a week, again.
Plus, the rolls had also contained raisins – what was she thinking buying those? Raisins in pizza? That was just plain wrong.
He'd think carefully about how to raise that with her. At some point. It seemed like a tiny thing, but they really couldn't afford for her to be spending money they didn't have on novel foods he couldn't eat. Plus, he didn't wanna be giving his hard-earned cash to a company that thought putting shrivelled grapes in their pizza rolls was acceptable.
The store worker had eyed him with suspicion as he'd skulked up and down the aisles, fondling the loose change in his pocket as he ruled out all the things he couldn't afford. In the end, she'd recommended a sandwich that had reached the end of its shelf life.
It was stale, and tasteless, but it was only §1 and contained no sneaky fruit.
When Wyatt eventually arrived at work, at the bar beneath his apartment, he found his boss, Xavier, pacing the room with a worried expression.
"Wyatt? Holy heck, I thought you were dead. Do you know what time it is?"
Wyatt didn't. He didn't own a watch, and he'd pawned his phone. He shrugged.
"Nine-thirty?"
"It's almost eleven."
Crap. He was two hours late? Two hours? That was pretty late, even for him.
"Sorry, Xavier. I, uh, overslept."
The noise Xavier made was somewhere between a squeak and a sigh. He looked like he was going to puke which Wyatt had learned meant that he about to get a ticking off.
"OK, look Wyatt, I saw you heading out earlier, I know that you weren't sleeping…"
Busted. "Sorry, I'll be on time tomorrow, I swear."
"Yeah, but you've been swearing that every day since you started here. Look, I hate to do this – I do – but… I've got a business to run and a family to look after. I've already had to call the babysitter and pay her extra and, well, look, um, I've got no choice. I need to dock your pay."
Wyatt lowered his voice. "Xavier, please don't do that. Things are tight—"
"I know, but you've left me no choice." Xavier sucked in a breath and said in one hasty breath, "I'm going to dock your pay this time, but if you're going to keep being late, I'll need to… to… hire someone else."
Wyatt's stomach plummeted and not just because his bargain bin sandwich was repeating on him. "You're firing me?"
"No. But, don't make me have to. Please, you're a good bartender, the customers like you but… Wyatt, man, please. I need you to be reliable." Xavier shuffled past Wyatt towards the door, unable to look at him. "Look, I've got to go relieve the 'sitter before she charges me another forty bucks. Please, tomorrow, be on time. Please."
Wyatt watched him go and a wave of relief washed over him. Decades of working in his mum's store had sort of numbed him to the possibility that he could actually be fired. That had been way too close. He couldn't afford to be docked two hours pay, but he really couldn't afford to lose this job and the apartment.
He only realised that he'd been holding his breath when his fingertips began to tingle. He looked down to catch a shimmer of his magic as it bubbled to the surface, spurred on by his adrenaline, ready to burst forth at his command. He quickly ducked below the counter, before anyone could see that he had weird rainbow-coloured lights coming out of his arm.
The liquid in all the bottles on the bar began to boil as he coiled the light around his fingers, remembering—
"Well, well, well. So you're Wyatt."
Wyatt clenched his fist against the temptation of his rebellious magic and stuffed it into his pocket. He turned his attention to the customer seated at the bar.
"Guilty as charged."
"So I hear," the customer said. "I was expecting more."
"More what?"
"Just… more." He took a long sip of his drink and placed it back on to the bar. "I couldn't help overhearing your little dressing down there. Short on funds, are we?"
Wyatt felt the heat rush to his cheeks. It wasn't unusual for the patrons to pour their most private issues out to him, but it had never happened the other way around. "I- I don't wanna talk about it."
The man nodded and emitted a heavy sigh. "I know that feeling."
Wyatt relaxed little. Clearly that was just this guy's opener to lament his own perceived money worries. A certain type of person ended up in this bar, the washed-up, struggling alcoholic types, mostly, although a quick glance at this man's tailored shirt, manicured fingernails and silk tie seemed at odds with that.
"Working in a dead-end job, struggling to find the money to feed yourself and the motivation to get out of bed each day. I was once like that. Until I met her… my little, freckled peach."
The man continued to ramble for a while as Wyatt nodded along. His head was thumping. Turned out that nothing was more instantly sobering than the thought of being jobless and homeless. Why did he always get the chatty ones when he just needed a moment to feel like death?
"…and she changed my life. Gave me that impetus. That oomph." He sighed. "But nothing lasts forever, does it?"
Aha, a heartbroken sot. Wyatt had seen plenty of these. "I guess not."
"I gave her everything. Safety, security, money – all the things she said she wanted. And things were going well, really well. Until she started hanging out with that broke, unkempt punk." He sighed. "Now I've lost her."
"That's terrible," Wyatt muttered. The guy appeared to have finished his less-than-heart-warming story and was staring into his drink.
The silence was heavy and awkward.
"So, are you new to the area?" Wyatt asked. "I've not seen you before."
At this, the manicured man looked up, fixing Wyatt with a determined stare. "I've not been here before. I'm only here because of Kaylynn."
For the second time that evening, Wyatt's stomach dropped. "Um, Kaylynn?"
"Yes. Cute, petite, freckled brunette – you must know her, she's here daily."
Wyatt's mouth was so dry he couldn't even swallow. "Oh, yeah, that Kaylynn. You-you know her?"
"'That Kaylynn'," the man mimicked. "Yes, I know her well. I'm Omar."
Omar? Wyatt wracked his brain trying to recall Kaylynn mentioning an 'Omar', but came up with nothing.
"She used to talk about you," Omar continued. His voice wavered, "'Wyatt's got a tattoo of a dolphin!', 'Wyatt said the funniest thing today!'. But for the last few weeks… nothing. I ask about you? Nothing. I ask about her day? Silence."
"Oh, really? I guess my novelty wore off."
"Yours and mine both." He chuckled. "Man to man? Kaylynn and I haven't… y'know for ages now. God, I miss it. Used to be a daily thing. Sometimes a few times a day." He sighed. "Perhaps our marriage is growing stale."
Wait, what? Their marriage? Marriage?!
Wyatt tried to make a sympathetic noise, but it was more of a small wail.
"It's funny because I trusted her, so when she stopped talking about you I just thought you two had fallen out, or you'd moved on elsewhere. I was partly relieved because to be honest, you sounded like an immature lowlife," Omar said quietly and he gazed solemnly at his dwindling drink. "But now I see that you're still working here. Barely, but still. And Kaylynn still comes here daily, according to the tracker on her phone. So, something doesn't add up, does it, Wyatt?"
Wyatt remained silent. Omar tapped his glass, deep in thought. "I was chatting to Xavier before you got here. He says he rarely sees her in here these days. Isn't that peculiar? She's on the premises every day, I know this for a fact, but she's never seen in the bar. Hm. Wherever could she be?" He looked up. "You live and work on this lot, so you must know; what does she do here all day?"
Wyatt sucked in a breath. "She visits my apartment sometimes. To chat and play games." Did that sound convincing?
Omar sat back in his chair. "Funny, because I could've sworn by the blank look on your face when I introduced myself that during all of these 'chats' you've had, she hasn't even told you her husband's name." Omar's eyes darkened. "Then again, must be hard for you to hear her when you've got your cock jammed down her throat."
"I.. I d-don't… we h-haven't…"
"Don't insult me," Omar growled. "I finally caved and went through her phone last night. I've seen the video. You're dead meat, punk."
He went through her phone? Who did that— Wait, video? What video?
From the technicolour depths of what Wyatt hadn't previously been sure was dream or reality, came a glimmer of something awfully familiar.
Balls. Wyatt really needed to cut back on the fun stuff – he must've been completely toasted to let her film that.
Without breaking eye contact, Omar downed what remained in his glass and slammed it back on the bar. He rose from his stool to his full height and stature which, as Wyatt had expected, well exceeded his own.
"Look, Omar. This has been a huge misjudgement and I'm really sorry."
"Like hell you are."
"See, my mum died recently, and I'm not coping well – I'm as high as heaven most of the time, I don't know what I'm doing—"
"You think that's making this better? Knowing that she's thrown everything she had with me away for likes of you?"
Wyatt felt his knees give up beneath him as he realised he couldn't talk his way out of this; he was about to taste the fist of Kaylynn's disgruntled husband.
The poorly-designed bar they were in broke numerous building regulations. But the lack of fire exits had never bothered Wyatt before this moment, when he realised that the only exit was behind this huge, angry man. Defying his size and sobriety, the beast of a fellow had Wyatt cornered and was covering what little space remained between them.
"Please, I know you're angry and you need an outlet, but we can talk about this—"
"My beloved wife, my sweet peach, the very reason for my being has been fucking some skinny punk junkie behind my back. I don't want to talk to you, I want to wring your scrawny neck."
Wyatt backed into the shelf behind him, unsettling the huge jar of pickled eggs that no one ever bought. He felt around for anything to defend himself with but came up empty. Except for his hand, which throbbed with the energy pulsating through it, begging to be used, but he ignored that. He clenched his fist so hard that his fingernails left grooves in his palm, but he doubted he could throw much of a punch.
"I'm sorry, OK? I didn't realise she was married, she honestly never told me—"
"Did you ask?"
"Huh? Well… uh, no…"
Kaylynn's husband let out a cry of pure pain that would've stopped anyone in their tracks. "I knew it. I knew it!" He grabbed the nearest bottle and threw it against the nearest wall. "I bloody knew it!"
"Woah! Calm down!" Wyatt pleaded, dodging a second bottle. "Dude! It takes two to tango! I flirted with her; she flirted back – or maybe she flirted first, I can't remember. But whatever, I genuinely thought we were just two single people having some fun."
"Fun?! You've ruined my marriage and that's fun to you?!"
Wyatt dodged a third bottle that was hurtling towards his head. "Would you stop?! Why are you even pissed with me? I. DID. NOT. KNOW. SHE. WAS. MARRIED. You should be taking this up with her!"
"Oh, I will. I'm going to bloody kill her," he hissed, backing Wyatt against the wall with a thud. "You're just my warm-up, punk."

Oh Snuffy…You make a tough comeback with this chapter. A lot of emotions 😅
Seth the sneaky devil is immediately starting to figure out how he can take advantage of another brain. Apparently he's completely unfazed by his previous success…well no, retrograde 🤔
It is interesting information that pregnant victims cause nausea and hormonal disturbances. I can see Lilith's mocking laugh before my eyes. Makes me want to laugh along 🤣
Wyatt is on the verge of a real beating. That woman is not worth the pain in my eyes.
Wyatt is such a helpless toddler without his mother's supervision it makes me want to cry. 😢
Will he ever wise up? I have my doubts.
Now he may once again be overheating. Damn 😬
Welcome back 🥰
SnuffyBucket says:
A tough comeback? Well, why slip silently back into the room when you can crash on in and knock over a lamp?
Ooh, emotions. Let's see if your series of emotions reading this matched mine writing it. Frustration at Seth, yep. Laughing along with Lilith, indeed. Wanting to cry at how lost Wyatt is? Definitely.
Seems like we've both had all the same feels. Except mine were broken up by a few more hearty laughs. Firstly, saying various versions of Omar's most ungentlemanly phrase very loudly and in 'his voice' to see which felt more suitable/upset my neighbours most. And second, trying to find the right combination of otherwise very innocent EA poses to depict some drug-addled oral filth.
Thanks! It's good to be back. 💗
I think the psychedelic color splash along with Wyatt's pleasurable facial expression worked well for me 😊
Sorry I didn't mention Omar. He made his point of view quite clear. I might have borrowed a phrase or two to supplement my rather modest selection of English colloquialisms for Allan's outburst 😁
If you ever have need for a few colourful English phrases, you know where I am. 😆
Just popping out of lurk mode momentarily, partly to say thanks for your kind words at my place (I've tried to reply there but have horribly screwed up comments there recently and I'm not sure my reply went where I told it to), and partly to say that I really love what you do here. Everything feels so real, even the stuff that can't be. I am, as always, impressed with your latest update (and maybe a little jealous of your talent).
Hey now, Patrick, don't go telling everyone I'm leaving nice comments on the internet – they'll all want one.
Also, hi, and thanks.
Yimiki says:
Seems like Seth learnt nothing from his previous "exploitation" of Faith. Either that, or he's just incapable of deviating from what he knows. Should be interesting to see him try and befriend a type as kooky as Jessica though – and by Jessica, I mean her posse of GliTS friends. Yup. Am looking forward to driving Seth mad.
Xavier is a good guy. A less compassionate bar owner would have tossed Wyatt out on the street. I can't tell if (the threat of) getting fired is what Wyatt needs to get his act together, or if it would just push him over the edge. Oh, wait, never mind. He'll get battered by his casual hookup's hidden husband instead. Oh, dear gods and his eyes. That won't end well. 😣
Whatever do you mean? Seth has learned so much! He's going to try and make a friend, willingly! Is that not progress? ….No? Maybe him and Yibbo will become firm besties and he'll become the shining example of a man that he's destined to be. Or maybe Morag will eat him.
Now, now isn't someone being a Pessimistic Polly today? Look on the bright side! April won't have to put with with Kaylynn hanging around anymore and Wyatt is starting to realise that maybe he's overdoing the bubble blower usage. Besides, all the best things are battered.
feroshgirl says:
Nothing to see here, just me screaming at the top of my lungs. First of all, Seth. SETH. She is your fledgling. Not because you deserve it or can tell her what to do, but because you care about her. You love her. That's what that stupid nagging feeling is.
Again, not that you deserve her. You are out here tilting at windmills, my man. What is your endgame? Why are you even plotting? Get it together.
I'm not worried about Jessica, she could totally take Seth because he is a hot mess.
I am slightly worried about Wyatt. But I also kind of feel like he needs this wake up call so, I'ma just let it play out.
Oh, how loss can affect us.
Sitting back and watching the respective downward spirals here is a good tactic, yup.
I've learned! I have a lot of fan t-shirts and popcorn. Oh and ingredients for s'mores for when things go up in flames.

More than 100 people wore something pink to the funeral of cancer campaigner Natasha Sale today.
The moving ceremony, held at Ogwell Cemetery saw Natasha's wicker coffin carried into the chapel, as friends and family gathered to say their final goodbyes to the mother-of-four.
Those that attended, all wore something pink, Natasha's favourite colour, and carried pink roses in memory of the 31-year-old who set up an online petition to lower the age cervical cancer screenings.
Natasha, from Chudleigh, launched an online petition which called for the screening age to be lowered from 25 to 18, after being diagnosed with cervical cancer.
Natasha started the petition to raise awareness of the symptoms of cervical cancer and to prevent other women going through what she had gone through.
She managed to raise 78,000 signatures on her own and following her death her friends and family have continued her fight to get 100,000 signatures so the petition would be considered at Parliament.
Natasha's partner Dean Edwards has paid a moving tribute to Natasha, describing her as a 'phenomenal mother'.
"Tash was the most unselfish, caring person you could ever meet," he said.
"Her children were her world and they couldn't wish for a better mother, she would always put them first.
"She was loving, funny and would just light up the room."
Dean and Natasha met when they were teenagers and rekindled their relationship eight years ago.
He added: "I have got such admiration for her, she set up that petition because she knew it wouldn't make a difference to her life, but she knew it could make a difference to someone else's.
"The petition is Natasha's legacy and we want it to continue for her and her children. Every aspect of her children is a reflection of their mother."
Natasha's daughters Ella and Lily have also paid a tribute to their mother.
Lily said: "Mum was so passionate, loving and caring. If I was to go back in time I wouldn't change one bit about her. She was so strong until the very end.
"When I used to come home from school, I never knew any spellings and she used to help me to spell."
Following the success of the petition which keeps on increasing by the day, Ella and Lily, wrote a letter to Prime Minister Theresa May, and they want to deliver it to her themselves.
The letter reads: "Natasha Sale, our mummy.
"Thank you for signing and sharing our mummy's petition we are so proud.
"We want to deliver this letter to the Prime Minister ourselves.
You can view the video below here.
A Facebook page called Natasha's Army has been set up in her memory and you can still sign Natasha's petition here.


Cast of 'Amazing Saturday' makes Hoshi choose between Key and Hanhae?
The cast of 'Amazing Saturday' left Hoshi in the middle of a dilemma.
Seventeen's Hoshi and DK appeared as guests for the next episode of 'Amazing Saturday', and in a preview released just before the episode's airing, Hoshi talked about his close relationship with the show's two permanent cast members -- Key and Hanhae!
With Key, Hoshi revealed that they are close enough to even visit each other's houses. As someone whom Hoshi idolized since young, Key told the story of how Seventeen's fans once gifted him one of SHINee's official light sticks.
When they reached the topic of Hanhae, MC Boom shared that Hoshi claims to love "everything about Hanhae", including the rapper's "gaze". When Hoshi confirmed those statements, the cast asked him if he was now closer to Hanhae than he is with Key.
"This is an ideal type world cup," said MC Boom to Hoshi. "You must choose between Key and Hanhae!" He provided Hoshi with a scenario that had himself imagine either with Key or Hanhae, as someone he would like to have waiting at the airport.
Can you guess which cast member Hoshi chose? You can tune into 'Amazing Saturday' for more on June 15 at 7:40 PM KST on tvN!

Former NFL Player Killed In Tangipahoa Parish Accident
Greg Atoms
Sad news from Tangipahoa Parish this weekend. According to the Louisiana Radio Network:
"Former NFL player Michael Dwayne Jackson Dyson was killed in a motorcycle early (Friday) morning in Tangipahoa Parish. State Police say the 48-year-old Dyson was driving his motorcycle at a high rate speed when he hit a vehicle that was backing from a parking spot along U-S 51. The driver of that other car was also killed. Dyson played for the Browns and Ravens in the 1990s and caught 353 passes."
Best known in the NFL under the name Michael Jackson, he led the NFL in touchdown catches in 1996 while playing for the Baltimore Ravens. He was a native of Tangipahoa Parish, where he became Mayor of Tangipahoa in 2009. He played his college football at Southern Mississippi, where he was a teammate of Brett Favre.
