With the appointment, Bishop Deshotel will return to lead the diocese where he was born and raised and where his large extended family still lives today. Bishop Deshotel says he was surprised by the news but grateful to the Holy Father and adds that while he looks forward to serving his home diocese, he will miss Dallas. "I entered the seminary here in Dallas in 1972. This has been my home for 43 years. I have loved Dallas and the Church of Dallas and the many dear friends I have made here. But, when I was ordained, I promised my life to God in service to his Church. The Holy Father has told me he needs me to lead Lafayette and I accept this call as a new opportunity to show my love and fidelity to Christ."
Expressing his support, Bishop Kevin J. Farrell of the Diocese of Dallas said, "I happily congratulate Bishop Doug Deshotel. The Holy Father has made an excellent decision in appointing him to lead the Catholic faithful in Lafayette. Bishop Deshotelís knowledge of the diocese and the wonderful Cajun culture there will be a tremendous asset as he returns as the chief shepherd. Bishop Deshotel is extremely well thought of by parishioners and his brother priests alike. His pastoral manner and deep devotion to our Church will certainly be missed by all in our diocese. I wish him many blessings in this new chapter of his ministry and I am certain he will be a tremendous blessing to the people of the Diocese of Lafayette."
Bishop Deshotel was born in Basile, Louisiana on January 6, 1952. He entered Holy Trinity Seminary in Irving in 1972 and completed his seminary studies in 1978. That same year he obtained his Masters in Divinity degree at the University of Dallas. He was ordained to the priesthood on May 13, 1978.
He served at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Dallas; St. Anthony Parish in Longview; and St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parish and St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in Dallas. Bishop Deshotel was also
a popular pastor at St. William Parish in Greenville, St. John Nepomucene Parish in Ennis; St. Luke Parish in Irving and St. Monica and St. Juan Diego in Dallas.
From 2001 through 2006 he was the Vice-Rector of Holy Trinity Seminary in Irving. In 2008, he was appointed Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia for the Diocese of Dallas which is second only to the bishop in the administrative structure of the diocese. He also served in the important role of Ecumenical Officer for the diocese.
The Diocese of Lafayette was established in Louisiana in 1918 and is located in southwest Louisiana. The diocese serves 291,991 Catholics and is made up of 121 parishes.

I lived for many years unaware of the thoughts pounding out a rhythm in my head, like the beating of a war drum. Thoughts of fear, shame and defeat were my companion most days. I had spent years living in survival mode, numb to my own thoughts. I didn't recognize the poisonous thoughts that raced through my mind, determining where I stepped, and how I lived.
My mind was a battlefield wrought with destruction, and I had no idea.
I will never forget one of my first counseling sessions. I had just poured my story out to my counselor, leaving nothing out, and she responded with, "It sounds like your heart knows the truth, but your mind isn't convinced." I blinked, stunned at how simply she had come to the root of everything.
My heart had responded to truth, but my mind wanted to deny it.
The lies were so familiar and comfortable that I didn't even know how to discern them from the truth of Jesus. My heart yearned for Him and all His hope, but my mind kept beating out the steady drum of lies and defeat. In order to bring my mind into alignment with my heart, I had to trace all those memories back to the beginning, where the lies took root in my mind.
I learned in my journey through the pain of the past, that there is a very real battle raging and the battlefield is seated in my mind. If I can allow the Holy Spirit to transform and renew my mind, then I can engage in the battle as a warrior of light.
Old habits die hard, though. It was so much easier to just keep thinking the way I always had, rather than to unravel those thoughts, and discern lies from truth. It was also terrifying to admit that I believed lies, and let them dictate how I lived my life. Thankfully, the grace of Jesus is great and He empowered me day by day to take the steps towards freedom. There are some tools I discovered in this process that I believe can help all of us in the battle for our minds.
First, I began to recognize His voice.
Jesus said that His sheep know His voice. I once would have said that I didn't know His voice, but when I look back at my journey, I see where His whisper drew me out of hiding, and where He spoke hope that gave me the courage to press on. Jesus is speaking and each of us can recognize and respond to His voice.
Journaling became the most powerful tool for me in discerning His voice. I poured my heart out to Him in my journals, and then I waited and wrote what I heard Him saying. I began to recognize themes of hope, encouragement and peace in His words, and I learned something.
The screaming voice of condemnation is not God's voice.
I actually thought for many years that God was mad at me, and so His words to me were always words of frustration and correction. Imagine my deep joy as I discovered that wasn't true! God was not the one speaking condemnation and shame to me. He was speaking hope and unconditional love!
Second, I had to be honest about the lies I believed.
Once I began to recognize God's voice as the one of hope and encouragement, it gave me the courage to confront the lies because I knew God wasn't going to be mad at me when those lies came to the surface.
The lies I lived by created habits and patterns in my life. I believed the lie that God was angry at me, therefore I strove for perfection, trying my hardest to earn His approval. I didn't know how to have authentic relationships, because I didn't want anyone to see my flaws.
The lies we believe are like drugs we take, and they come with symptoms.
I began paying attention to my daily interactions and words. I asked myself lots of questions. When someone hurt me, rather than go on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, I stopped and asked Jesus to show me the lie I was hearing that tempted me to spiral out of control. I discovered that I was consumed with pleasing man and it created anxiety and fear in my life on a daily basis.
Third, I asked Jesus to show me the truth that could replace the lie, and the new habit that could be formed by truth.
The lie "I need man's approval" was replaced with "My identity is found in Jesus." I began to live this by openly sharing my struggles, and flaws. When God opened doors for me to speak to groups and share my story of sexual abuse, I said yes. When He asked me to begin a blog and share about my process of healing, I said yes. With every "yes" I whispered to Jesus, that lie was replaced with the truth. I didn't need man's approval because Jesus defined me. Vulnerability became my new habit. I became bold and courageous because of Jesus in me!
The hope here is that we can change the way we think, and in doing so become the mighty warriors Jesus sees. We are all called to engage in a battle not of this world, and that battle begins in our minds. I'm so thankful that Jesus is willing to come to me daily, and renew my mind!
What thoughts are filling your mind everyday? Do they give you hope and courage to press on, or do they leave you feeling alone and afraid?
The mind can be healed and made new in Jesus. If you will recognize and respond to His voice, call out the lies you believe, and let Jesus replace them with truth, He will make you into the warrior of light you are destined to be.

Reducing Risk with User Behavior Analytics (UBA)
LANGUAGE: English DATE: Thursday, March 30, 2017 TIME: 4:00pm CET, 10:00am EDT, 7:00am PDT
Business landscape is changing rapidly where most organizations, irrespective of the vertical, are transforming themselves into technology organizations. With the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT), the number of connected entities has increased significantly. Managing identities of people, things and other objects in an automated and predictive manner is becoming the new norm. Simultaneously, the burgeoning number of identities exposes a broader attack surface posing a big challenge to these organizations and their growth plans.
Fortunately, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning have matured to the point where making use of analytics in Security broadly is possible. With this more specifically in Identity & Access Management is now possible. One of the most interesting applications of such analytics has been in managing privileged identities and accounts. Given that such identities and accounts have access to sensitive and business critical data, it is very important to ensure that they are not only protected, but also monitored in real time for anomalies in behavior. The use of User Behavior Analytics (UBA) to monitor access to privileged accounts helps organizations reduce risk while simultaneously accelerating business growth and expansion.
In this webinar, you will learn more about:
Evolving trends in the use of analytics in security
Market trends in privileged access management
Benefits of analytics in managing access to privileged accounts and identities
Making analytics work for privileged access
In the first part of the webinar, Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at Kuppinger Cole will talk about scenarios where analytics fit in the security landscape. He will show the emerging trends in privileged access management and how organizations can benefit from using analytics to gain visibility into the behavior of these high value accounts and identities.
In the second part, Mark McGovern, VP of Product Management at CA Technologies, will provide insight into some of the practical challenges organizations face in getting analytics to work for privileged identities.

Sometimes, the best in people can surface in times of tragedy to remind us all that most people out there are inherently good and that we are never truly alone. The story in the video below is a story of people coming together to overcome tragedy and support one another when all seems hopeless.
And it all starts with this man: Greg Zanis, a gifted carpenter with an incredible heart. Over the past two decades, the man has constructed over 14,000 crosses for victims and their families through his non-profit organization called Crosses for Losses.
Like most of the rest of the world, Greg watched in shock as news stations everywhere were counting the victims in the aftermath of the Las Vegas mass-shooting when 58 innocent people attending a music festival lost their lives.
Greg wanted to do something to honor the souls that were lost that dreadful day, so he started up a Go Fund Me campaign and was able to build 58 crosses which he then placed behind the infamous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign.
People who saw the crosses were touched by Greg's beautiful gesture meant to bring light in the midst of darkness. And many wanted to show appreciation for it and somehow repay Greg for all his hard work.
What happened next is proof that what goes around comes back around, and that sooner or later, everyone gets what they deserve. The FOX5 Surprise Squad surprised Greg with a gift that he was in urgent need of for quite some time.

The Cambridge clan gathered with extended Royal family members today for the Queen's (Gan Gan) annual pre-Christmas luncheon at Buckingham Palace.
The lunch was a private family affair but photographers managed to get some snaps of the guests as they entered the gates of the Palace. Princess Charlotte was spotted en route to the Palace in the back seat of her parents' Range Rover accompanied by Nanny Maria and Prince George.
The young princess wore a traditional liberty print dress with burgundy trim around the collar and a coordinating cardigan. The set looks very similar but not identical to the one she wore as the family was leaving Canada last year, and repeated on Christmas Day 2016.
It's highly likely the two dresses are by the same designer which still remains unknown. Today the frock was teamed with a burgundy 'Starfruit' cardigan by Amaia (£42.00).
A Princess Charlotte outfit would not be complete without a signature Amaia hair bow!
Poor Nanny! She is called Teresa, most of women in Spain have as first name María honouring the Virgin but they are not called like that.
Also her surname is Turrión, because in Spain we have two surnames, father's and mother's.
So the Nanny is Maria Teresa Turrión Borallo=Teresa Turrión. And the DM calls her, María Borallo....who might be another person.


It has been a year since Imperial Treasure Teochew Cuisine moved from Takashimaya to Ion Orchard. Located on the 3rd floor, the always-fully-booked Imperial Treasure Fine Teochew Cuisine was one of the new entrants that made its way into 2017 Michelin Guide Singapore. My dining companions and I finally managed to get seats for dinner yesterday, despite walking in without prior reservations. Thin slices of tender duck meat were poached in a mix of soya sauces and spices that was not too salty, and served on top of marinated beancurd. Skin of the roast pork was a tad thick but still crispy, and there was an equal amount of meat and fats. We also ordered the recommended homemade beancurd with Chinese spinach and mushrooms – not on the menu, and hor fun with sliced pork (instead of beef) in peanut sauce. And I added an individual portion of succulent prawn with lovely egg white in truffle oil that did not overwhelm. Could neither rave about nor fault any of the dishes we ordered.
