Amy S. Badura, Robert C. Reiter, Elizabeth M. Altmaier, Ann Rhomberg, Diane Elas
Objective: To examine the relationships between histories of sexual or physical abuse and current reports of dissociation, somatization, substance abuse, adaptive coping, and maladaptive coping strategies among chronic pelvic pain patients. Methods: Using a structured interview, we assessed sexual and physical abuse and somatization. The Dissociative Experiences Scale was used to assess dissociation, and an abbreviated version of the COPE scale was employed to assess adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies as well as substance abuse. Participants included 46 women with chronic pelvic pain. Results: Women with self-reported sexual or physical abuse histories were found to have significantly higher dissociation, somatization, and substance abuse scores than women without such a history. Significant positive correlations were found between reports of both dissociation and somatization with maladaptive coping strategies and among dissociation, somatization, and substance abuse. Conclusion: These results support the association between a positive abuse history and the high levels of dissociation, somatization, and substance abuse often noted in the chronic pelvic pain population. Findings suggest that such psychological variables are more likely to be associated with abuse than with the general medical condition. These psychological variables are conceptualized as maladaptive coping, which may be addressed as part of a biopsychosocial model of treatment for chronic pelvic pain patients.

In my delusional dream world, I would accomplish the following in one day, yet with slow and calm intentionality.
maintain all forms of social networking (key when you live far away from everybody you've ever known in your first thirty-one years).
give generously (time, dinners, gifts, moving, babysitting, volunteering…Frans and I try to be generous here, it's a shared priority…but not always easy to make space for) now is a time more than ever when we're trying to figure out how we can give to the refugees flooding into Europe, besides financially.
practice hospitality (our door is open, people. unless Frans and I haven't seen each other all week or we haven't had a family day in like, forever…which sometimes happens. Then we're not good for anybody).
oh, and then that little thing involving showering and hair and clothing. self care.
But what about the 'how' when it comes to the heart?
A typical day, for example. Estella wakes us up with shouts from her crib at 7:15am. Frans, bless him, gets up and gets her milk and brings her into bed with us. She greets me with a chirpy 'hi!' We have a sweet 'family bed' moment. And then Estella, finished with her milk, is ready for the day and begins doing things like walking across our faces and pretending we are trampolines. Amazingly, we ignore this behavior until it becomes very clear that we are no longer getting rest and coffee becomes more attractive.
Frans dresses in like two seconds (it's seriously like a magic trick) and is in the kitchen making coffee. I gather Estella and change the diaper that is sagging between her knees.
She wants to push her babies in her wagon back in forth in our small space, and I supervise this while trying to make breakfast (usually soft-boiled eggs and toast or oatmeal and smoothie). I'm lucky if I drink half my coffee. We say goodbye to Papa and I sometimes secretly envy him as he skips away, coffee in hand, to jump in the car and join the world.
I dress without the magic trick Frans uses (takes me all of 10 minutes), clean up breakfast, the small Hiroshima of food destruction under Estella's high chair, do some dishes, and start or fold a load of laundry, all with E getting into things or underfoot. So it takes me three times the normal speed.
Finally at some point we are dressed and out the door if the weather is fine (about half the time). Always with layers. Always. Even in summer, people. The wind here is just…chilly. 98.567% of the year. We either jump on my fiets (Estella has a her own seat and windshield), or I make two trips to carry the stroller down the stairs and then Estella. Lately, she's been into walking her babies, which I encourage and love, since it's walking practice and great exercise. Plus it is the cutest thing ever. So by now, it's like 9:30am and I can't believe that I'm already tired.
By all respects I have a glorious life…husband, kid, city, food, roof, luxuries. Yet most mornings I fight off the temptation to imagine living with wild abandon (hair flying behind me as I head on my bicycle to my adventurous job to do creative things with a supportive team) and have a choice to make: to seize the day and enjoy my daughter, despite what I'm not getting done or how much I (already) miss adult conversation. Heart. Attitude.
Today we seized the day. We filled her push wagon with her babies, an umbrella, and ergo carrier, for when she got tired. We walked the ten minutes to the closest bakery (one of the perks of living in the city) and ordered crossaints. And then because they did not have high chairs, we took the crossaints across the street to where they did have a high chair and ordered a cappuccino and enjoyed watching pedestrians pass as we sat outside and chatted.
We chatted with…a homeless lesbian heroin addict (we've seen her several times…she's told us her story and it's written on her arms as well), lots of elderly folk (all with a dog), and a smiling young man (with a baseball cap and cool sneaks). I made some wisecrack in Dutch, and he laughed. I called it a win, and Estella and I made our slow boat to China way home, victorious.


We love visiting Walt Disney World in the fall, and I'd say that it's probably our most favorite time of year to visit! One of the bonuses for me, is the availability of the free Disney Dining Plan promotion! It's been pretty much a standard offering the past several years, and it's an incredible value!
Historically speaking, fall promotions start to roll out in the April/May time frame. If you have a Disney Visa, you'll likely get first access to these deals, and then they'll roll out to non-cardholders.
If, for some reason, your reservation must be changed, the existing deposit and payments can usually be applied to the new reservation.

2021-02-25 16:47:56 | Police in Malta Say Arrests Are Complete in Journalist's 2017 Murder
February 25, 2021 - by Andrew Higgins - Leave a Comment
Story by: Andrew Higgins The New York Times World News
More than three years after a car bomb killed Malta's best-known journalist and sent shock waves across Europe, the head of the Mediterranean island nation's police force has declared that all those it believes to have been involved in the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia have now been arrested.
But an announcement effectively closing the case late Wednesday by Malta's police commissioner left the motive for the murder unclear. It also left open whether senior government officials, including the former prime minister, had interfered in the case to protect a politically connected millionaire implicated in the crime.
A wealthy local businessman, Yorgen Fenech, was arrested in November 2019 while trying to flee Malta aboard his yacht, accused of paying three contract killers and orchestrating the journalist's killing. He pleaded not guilty to complicity in murder. A trial is yet to begin.
Unlike many other prominent figures in Malta, Mr. Fenech had rarely been a target of Ms. Caruana Galizia's investigative reporting and had no obvious reason to want her dead. Most of her journalistic work appeared in a hugely popular blog, Running Commentary, a mix of serious reporting and scabrous personal attacks.
But while the journalist mentioned Mr. Fenech just once in her blog, she regularly criticized an electricity generator, Electrogas, in which the businessman's family conglomerate held a big stake. This has prompted speculation that her murder could have been related to the electricity company, which received a $400 million loan from the Maltese government and struck a curiously expensive gas supply deal with Azerbaijan, a part owner of the company.

Malta's police commissioner, Angelo Gafa', told a news conference in Malta on Wednesday night that investigators had found no evidence of any involvement by politicians in the murder. But he did not address the issue of their possible involvement in a cover-up after the murder.
On the murder itself, he said: "With the evidence we have, we are in a position to say that every person involved, be it mastermind or accomplice, is under arrest or facing charges."
Swamped by street protests and accusations that he had allowed Malta, the smallest member of the European Union, to become a "mafia state," Prime Minister Joseph Muscat resigned in late 2019. But Mr. Muscat has repeatedly denied trying to hamper the murder investigation, despite evidence that his chief of staff tipped off the suspected mastermind, Mr. Fenech, about details of the police's work and advised him to flee. The former chief of staff has denied trying to protect the prime suspect, an old friend.
The current prime minister, Robert Abela, told a news conference on Thursday that while the prime suspects had all been arrested, the investigation into Ms. Caruana Galizia's murder would continue. He said that the arrests showed that Malta's law enforcement system was working well.
Earlier this week the police arrested three professional criminals suspected of involvement in the murder, including the supply of explosives. The journalist was killed by a car bomb that exploded as she drove away from her family home on an isolated country road. Vince Muscat, one of three men accused of planting or detonating the bomb, pleaded guilty to murder this week, reversing his previous not-guilty plea, and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Chris Peregin, the founder and head of Lovin' Malta, an online news portal, who has followed the case closely, said that while the hit men hired to kill Ms. Caruana Galizia had apparently all been identified and arrested the investigation now needed to "go into overdrive" because "there are still so many questions about the possible motive."

Three National Parks earmarked for privatisation
By GNA
Kumasi, Feb. 25, GNA - Professor Dominic Fobih, Minister of Lands, Forestry and Mines, has announced that three national parks have been earmarked for privatisation in the country. They are the Kakum National Park in the Central Region, Mole National Park in the Northern Region and the Shai Hills in the Greater Accra Region.
Professor Fobi made the announcement at a ceremony at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi on Friday to formally introduce members of the Kumasi Zoo Advisory Board to the Asantehene.
The 14-member Advisory Board of the Zoo has Professor Owusu Addo, as its chairman.
Professor Fobi said a Dutch company from Tanzania had already made a good offer in respect of the Kakum Park, while the Shai Hills "is already under Marina Tours".
The Minister however, failed to mention the extent to which investors have approached the ministry, regarding investments in the Mole Park.
He said even though they were on the way towards privatising the parks, "we are being very careful and cautious, because this is the first time we are doing such a thing"
He regretted that due to its poor state and potentials, the Kumasi Zoo had not received any substantial investment for the past years, while the number of exotic animal species too had reduced drastically. Professor Fobih was worried that, while greater inputs were normally being injected into management of zoos by groups and individuals the world over, zoos in Ghana have to depend solely on subvention.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, in response to a request from the minister, gave the assurance that he would personally intervene to ensure that a lease is given the ministry for the Kumasi zoo site. The Asantehene suggested to government and individuals to channel more funds into supporting development of the zoo in view of the fact that, apart from being an entertainment centre, it also served as an avenue for research and learning.
Professor Addo, chairman of the Board, said the focus of the Board was to raise monies through fundraisings and various activities to support development of the zoo in the areas particularly of drainage improvement, cage restructuring and stocking of the cages with rare species.

Inform yourself about the last Horizon 2020 funding opportunities in Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture
On 4 July 2019, the European Commission will host an Info Day in Brussels on the upcoming calls in Societal Challenge 2 (SC2): "Food Security, Sustainable Agriculture and Forestry, Marine, Maritime and Inland Water Research and the Bioeconomy".
The SC2 Work Programme deals with some of the key challenges our planet is facing: adapting to and mitigating climate change, ensuring food security, protecting natural resources, and promoting alternatives to fossil-based economies. The proposed solutions are expected to deliver significant economic, environmental and social benefits. For most activities, a multi-player approach is crucial: various partners including end-users need to be involved during the entire project.
The Info Day is a great opportunity to gain detailed insight into the SC2 Work Programme for 2020, which includes more than 40 topics with a total budget of approx. €500 million and is structured around 4 calls: Sustainable Food Security, Rural Renaissance, Blue Growth and a new call, which makes a bridge to the next European Framework Programme, "Horizon Europe". Sessions providing guidance on successful proposal preparation and Q&A are part of the agenda. Detailed information on individual topics will be presented and discussed in parallel sessions, with a focus on sustainable farming and agricultural value chains, blue planet, food systems and the bioeconomy.
Do not miss this opportunity to inform yourself about the last Horizon 2020 calls for SC2, to develop your project ideas and to connect with potential project partners! Have a look at the draft agenda and register for the Info Day (deadline: 28.06.2019).

Jewish text bored me growing up. It seemed finite, immovable, treacherously antiquated and completely incompatible with my Reform Judaism. Its "living"characteristic eluded me, and its text was too verbose to swallow. I preferred to discard text instead of struggling with it. I followed Jewish traditions according to my father's practice or according to a blurb on the Internet. My adolescent understanding of Judaism was as a guide to living morally; but the texts, particularly those outside of the Tanakh, seemed completely stale to my underdeveloped Jewish palate. That is not to say that my educators, rabbis and peers had not exposed me to text; on the contrary. I was presented texts throughout religious school and confirmation, as well as at camp and NFTY events. Despite all of that, I failed to recognize the relevance of these texts in my life.
As I entered HUC-JIR and began my rabbinic studies, my familiarity with rabbinic texts was negligible. I was delving into Mishnah, Talmud and midrash substantially for the first time but brought the biases of my stubborn adolescence with me. However, I was astounded by the depth of conversation these texts stimulated, texts that I so easily dismissed just a few years earlier. Through the study of these texts, I gained a profound insight into Judaism that I did not know I was missing. Contrary to my juvenile discard-if-not-conspicuously-relevant approach, I now understood that taking tradition seriously requires wrestling with the uncomfortable and antiquated teachings instead of ignoring them. Judaism is not a linear connection of events and teachings; irregularities and discrepancies exist, and we need to accept them as our DNA and embrace their challenges. Personally, these texts deepened the roots of my Judaism. Professionally, they taught me that I am responsible to teach Judaism as a whole, the easy and the challenging. My particularly gifted peers and talented professors turned something that bored me into something exciting. My excitement has carried over into my teaching.
Through this text, the conversation blossomed. The students not only enhanced their understanding of joy, they wrestled with the meaning of God and mitzvot. Without text, this lesson would be remembered as "the day we listened to Happy in class."Instead, the text brought Jewish depth to the lesson and made it both educational and meaningful. Text illuminates the routine. By teaching text, we deepen the roots of our students'Judaism and often enhance their understanding of Jewish ritual. Only text has that kind of power.

Underground Societe is barely 6 months old, run by the brothers behind the successful Coffee Societe Publika and Garage 51 Sunway.
However, unlike the other two cafes, which decks up conventional cafe bites, the menu here boosts creatively crafted contemporary dishes. Prices here are also slightly steeper compared to the former.
US has an interesting mix of architecture. At first sight, the restaurant spots a black exterior and with no signboard in sight, I could've easily drove pass this place unknowingly. But inside, the chic wooden furnishing speaks sophistication, plus the dangling starlights made it felt magical, somewhat.
The restaurant was rather quiet that Saturday morning, so we picked the table that we wanted. We sat next to the window, with loads of natural sunlight beaming through, we knew that this was the best photography spot.
But before I dive straight into the realm of food, here are some pictures we took during our meal. And you wouldn't want to miss the video at the end of the page. Scroll down!
"Underground Societe | Say Hi To The Camera"
Enough of the hunger teasers - let us now move on to the food.
Coffee-in-a-cup is not the norm here. Do order something that you've never had before!
The texture of this roasted highland pumpkin soup reminded me of soft boil eggs - goey and thick. This tasted rich, with a hint of spiciness, enough to tickle the taste buds.
Smoked Duck with Couscous. Rm20.
Smoked duck! I'm sold! Couscous topped with a thick cut of smoked duck, kitchen-made orange marmalade and raisin. A tweak: the raisins - bit too much, it could do better without.
Going around the plate - prawn and caviar, feta cheese, mashed eggs and pineapple salsa, neatly arranged on avocado shells. My favorite - feta cheese and avocado, those were creamy and delectable.
An interesting combination - juicy peeled tomato, sliced fresh mozzarella, drizzled with what I thought tasted like basil vinaigrette. Frankly, this was not my fancy, but do order if you're a fan of tomatoes or cheese.
An unusual order at a cafe - soaked oat groats (similar to overnight oats) with julienne applies, strawberries, apple compote and honey, that gave a sweet and seemingly healthier finish.
Now, where should I start? Juicy Australian beef tenderloin or the German spaetzle (think - tiny pasta) weaved with chicken ham underneath? On top, thyme-boiled quail eggs and asparagus, drizzled in hollandaise sauce.
Like the former, there were similar elements on this plate but let me tell you this - the grilled salmon was perfect - moist, lightly charred and nicely flaked. Easily one of the favorites of the table.
Scrambled Eggs, Steak Tenderloin with Underground Bun. Rm24.
Deliciously grilled tenderloin minute steak that tasted juicy and flavorsome. Opt for either scrambled eggs or a fried egg and the deep fried onion shreds on top were clear winners too! Definitely one of my top picks.
Where are the lobsters? Baby lobsters perhaps. Only order if you're a fan of fancy-pancy eggs benedict.
Nutella Chocolate Cake (Rm12). Chocolate Cake (Rm12). Banana Cake (Rm12).
My top pick - Nutella chocolate cake.
This is it. The gigantic and impressive dessert that made everyone gawked. A mountain-like meringue with refreshing mint chocolate chip in the middle, on a crumbly biscuit base. For me, this felt like a compulsory order here, meant to be shared of course.
What I think would work in favor of the masses - thin the meringue walls and thicken the biscuit base please! Watch the video of it being flamed here.
"Underground Societe | Underground Grenade"
I have always enjoyed the sight of a table laden full of food. Don't you too?
"Underground Societe | Table of Happiness"
Overall Rating: 7.5/10. Today's feast felt great. I have to give them this - creativity with a hint of sophistication. Although I have to add that one of the dangerous things of being ambitious with fusion offerings - the balance of flavors and textures. It would either clash or complement. Most of the dishes I sampled today, complemented each other. That said, some could've been better. I, for one, love to be surprised with elements that I'd never thought would work well together, but most importantly, do not confuse the masses.
The appetizers that we had was great for sharing and the Grilled Atlantic Salmon as well as the Underground Burger, were some of my favorites of the meal. Also, the Underground Grenade is the dessert that everyone should order here. I would definitely be back to try out their dinner menu (if its not already obvious, today's posting is on their breakfast menu, from 11am - 6pm). On that note, this is also a rare cafe in town that opens till pass midnight. They close at 2am.

ABC to cut staff, then resonate referentially
in a week where a batch of redundancies were announced, management proves that it's pulling it weight with a bit of 'value' adding, writes an ABC insider.
At the ABC, in a week where a batch of redundancies were announced, management proves that it's pulling it weight with a bit of "value" adding…
From: Mark Scott
Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 3:22:28 PM
Subject: Launch of ABC Values staff consultation process
I'd like to inform you of a new and exciting initiative that is currently underway to identify and implement a new set of workplace values within the ABC. This initiative is designed to update the current values, developed in 2000, with a set of 4 or 5 values which reflect both the inherent and aspirational values of the ABC. Each value would be communicated with a short phrase to explain the meaning. Our ABC values need to:
Reference ethical behaviour
Reflect the positive aspects of the existing ABC culture
Resonate with staff who are proud to work for the ABC
Be enduring — have a link to the past, present and future aspirations of the ABC
Be memorable — to assist easy recall
Once the new values are in place, they will be proactively used to support a workplace culture where people can do their best work. Initial work by the People & Learning Values project team has shortlisted 10 values for wider consideration. These 10 values are:
Innovation or Creativity
There will be a period of consultation between 7 October and 7 November seeking your feedback in relation to both the meaning of the above values and which values should form part of the final set. The consultation process is also designed to enable you to suggest other values for inclusion in the final set. Given the importance of this project to all staff I'd encourage everyone to be involved in the consultation process, be that via one of the many focus groups which will be run in your state/territory or via the online Wiki available at http://intech.corp.abc.net.au/values/index.php/Main_Page
Your State/Territory Director will email you shortly with details of the focus groups to be held in your location.

As a long time Aunty fan I am staggered – no affronted – that a supposed "manager" inside ABC could key such pap, let alone send it to staff. This is another doom signal along with the lunatics who keep telling me there is a great program on another part of Aunty that I cant watch until I spend money on some enabling item. This manager should be sent to staff the outer suburban shop selling such items – where he may pick up the bespoke skills that he obviously lacks.

Dir; Lee Cronin. Starring; Seana Kerslake, James Quinn Markey, Katy Outinen. R. Color. 90 min.
In my experience the only good horror films are focused more on atmosphere than shock value, which is why most horror films are lazy. Irish director Lee Cronin's "The Hole in the Ground", his latest low budget slow burn of a creep fest, is an intriguing ride. In no ways original, it is well crafted with layered undertones of paranoia and a mothers dread of making the wrong decisions.
We open with a child looking into a contortionist style mirror in a fun house during the unnamed town's county fair. His young mother Sarah O'Neill (relative unknown Seana Kerslake) watches the visual representation of the boy she knows and the boy she does not recognize.
While returning to their new home in the woods Sarah and her son Chris (James Quinn Markey) nearly get into a serious accident when a crazed old woman is standing in the middle of the street staring at them. When Sarah approaches her the woman says nothing. The ominous feeling of unsettlement begins.
Sarah and her son are running from the past. While not explicitly said, it appears Sarah was in an abusive relationship with a rich man who she was able to extract some amount of money from and is now hiding in a small town in hopes of keeping her son safe. She loves him and lives in a constant fear for his safety. Things start off rocky with Chris entering a new school and Sarah working at a local shop to keep busy. One night/early morning Sarah awakens and her son has disappeared. Delirious, she rushes to the woods searching before stumbling upon a, well yes, a giant hole in the ground.
Just as she is on the phone with the police, Chris suddenly turns up. Something has changed. The formerly depressed over missing his father and hating school child has turned into a model citizen. While coming home one afternoon the crazy old woman from earlier stops them once again. Revealed to be one Noreen Brady (legendary European actress Kati Outinen, look her up), people in town have talked about how she went crazy after a tragic "accident" that took her son's life. Brady attacks the O'Neill's car yelling that the Chris we see is not her real son. Brady's husband Des (James Cosmos from Game of Thrones fame) runs out to calm the woman down.
The unsettling series of events is building for Sarah when crazy old Noreen is found dead with her head buried in the dirt and also when returning to the hole she finds her sons most beloved action figure stuffed in the dirt. Chris is getting hostile at home. Reality is becoming blurred for Sarah, who's doctor is concerned that she isn't taking her "medication".
The final act is admittedly underwhelming and predictable. But so are all horror films. We know what is actually going on within twenty minutes so the reveal has a bit of a "meh" feel to it. Spoiler alert, have you ever seen "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"? That does not take away from the extraordinary atmospheric feeling that this film presents.
"The Hole in the Ground" is much more about mental state than the cookie cutter story that it is. A broken woman questioning if she is going insane when she sees her sons face after having gone through a horrible situation. Finding a balance between smothering and protecting your child. Cinematographer Tom Comerford uses subtle camera movements and angles to somehow make the prison of the mind visual.
There have been better recent low budget horror films about family dynamics. "Hereditary" and "It Comes at Night" are two great examples. That does not change the fact that "The Hole in the Ground" is a fascinating view from a distance of how ones mind works as a young mother disguised as a midnight chiller.

The SUCK FACTOR, how it works. We have flipped the rating system upside down. If a film is classic, it gets a 0. Meaning that movie has 0 SUCKS. If a film is complete trash you must avoid at all costs, it gets a 7, meaning this movie really SUCKS!

Around 2:00 a.m. this morning, State Troopers responded to a single vehicle 18-wheeler crash on a private road off US 71 just north of LA 514 in Red River Parish that claimed the life of a Bossier City man.
The preliminary investigation revealed a 2009 Freightliner 18-wheeler driven by 43-year-old Antorian Devol Johnson was traveling west on a private oil field road. The vehicle stalled while driving on an uphill grade and began to roll back downhill. The brakes were engaged but the vehicle slid off the road into a ravine and rolled over. Johnson was wearing a seat belt but sustained fatal injuries in the crash. He was pronounced dead on scene by the Red River Parish Coroner's office.
In 2019, Troop G has investigated three fatal crashes resulting in three deaths.

Saint Mary's Hospital refinances $15M in old debt
Chad Wable, left,president and CEO of Saint Mary's Hospital in Waterbury, speaks in December with Naugatuck Mayor Bob Mezzo and Ron Pugliese, president and CEO of the Naugatuck Econoimic Development Corp. about Saint Mary's Hospital's intention to become the anchor tenant in a new medical office facility that will be constructed in downtown Naugatuck. Wable said Thursday that the hospital's refinancing of $15 million in debt frees up capital for projects like the one in Naugatuck. Paul Singley Republican-American

Wable said Thursday that the hospital's refinancing of $15 million in debt frees up capital for projects like the one in Naugatuck. Paul Singley Republican-American
WATERBURY — Saint Mary's Health System, parent of Saint Mary's Hospital, strengthened its financial situation last month by refinancing $15 million in long-term debt, hospital officials said Thursday.
Chad Wable, the health system's president and chief executive officer, and Ralph W. Becker, the system's vice president and chief financial officer, said the nonprofit organization was able to refinance tax-exempt bonds at a much more favorable rate. The bonds were at least 20 years old and carried a fixed interest rate of 5.6 percent, they said.
"The net actual debt we owed was $15 million. We were able to get a conventional five-year loan for $15 million at a variable rate," which currently is less than 1.5 percent, Becker said.
"We estimate the net savings at $2.6 million over the next five years," he said.
The refinancing was arranged with Watebury-based Webster Bank, whose chairman and CEO, James C. Smith, is also a member of the board of directors for Saint Mary's Health System.
The refinancing deal was completed on April 13, and included closing costs of $10,000.
Becker said that was a bargain. "If we had gone out to refinance with tax-exempt debt, it would have (cost) at least a half-million dollars or more."
While the bonds totaled $15 million, the organization also was required to hold $5 million in reserve related to the debt, meaning the refinancing also freed up that money for other uses, they said.
Wable said the health system now has the option to pay of the debt more quickly, while also relieving the organization of restrictions that came with holding the tax-exempt bonds.
"Holding onto tax-exempt bonds opens us up to the credit agencies and various bond covenants that could be restrictive to our operation," he said. "Sometimes they don't let you sign onto longer-term leases, sometimes you have to meet certain liquidity ratios. It makes you very conservative in spending capital."
The refinancing comes at a good time for the hospital, which is six months into implementing a new "strategic plan," Wable said. That plan involves recruiting new physicians and investing in facility relocations and expansions.
The state, for example, in September approved Saint Mary's plan to relocate its magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, center from Chase Parkway to the hospital at 56 Franklin St. Also, the hospital said in December it intends to bring doctors' offices, outpatient treatment facilities and other ambulatory care offices to a 25,000- to 30,000-square-foot medical complex in Naugatuck. The hospital also recently relocated its physical therapy office to East Main Street, and wants to open a new urgent care center on West Main next month.
Refinancing the old debt will allow the hospital to move "aggressively" on these projects, Wable said.
"I give our team a lot of credit," he said. "These moves we've made … creates a lot of stability for Saint Mary's, and hopefully for Waterbury when it comes to health care."

Q: How to access and then compare the values of individual cells in a pandas dataframe? I have two dataframes df and df1 both have 2 columns one with an object and another with a numerical value. If the objects in certain cells are the same I will add the two numbers together and print them. I tried this but I am getting a syntax error on the first line.
if(df.at[0,'obj'] == df1.at[0,'obj'])
  print((df.at[0,'num'] + df1.at[0,'num']))

The data frames are
import pandas as pd
dict0 = {"obj" : ["AB", "BC", "CD", "AF", "GD"],
        "num" : [20, 15, 10, 12, 8]
       }
dict1 = {"obj" : ["AB", "BD", "CZ", "AF", "GD"],
        "num" : [12, 33, 15, 7, 11]
       }

df = pd.DataFrame(dict0)
df1 = pd.DataFrame(dict1)

I would really appreciate it if you could help me with this.

A: With your shown samples, could you please try following.
df  =  df.set_index('obj')
df1  =  df1.set_index('obj')
(df + df1).dropna()

OR with a single shot without saving into df's:
(df.set_index('obj') + df1.set_index('obj')).dropna()

My kids are still young enough that I can pretty much dress them in whatever I want. At ten months, Alex will definitely wear whatever I stick him in. My oldest is three years old but he's still a bit all over the place. Tonight, I asked him what he wanted to dress up as. He immediately said dragon. Totally convinced. I asked him again oh, two minutes later. Curious George. Another two minutes? Monster.
So needless to say I'll just pick something I'm pretty sure he'll be excited about wearing and run with that.
The costumes I've shown here are the most absolutely adorable costumes ever (& OK the Edward Scissorhands one is a bit creepy but just look at that kids expression). Some photos are just here for inspiration but most can either be purchased or made through a DIY tutorial. I was sure to get this out early enough to give you all time to either order or get going on the DIY.
Get ready to dress up your kid.
I always love watching what the kids come to the door wearing. Last year my favourite was the Ice Bucket Challenge. What a creative kid!
What do you think? What's your favourite and what are you going to dress your children up as this year?

Available in several colours with a satin finish, the product is always with a cap with the logo of the brand, except for the version metallic. A good way to customize a product that will follow you for years in all your escapades and your appointments.


I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We did - and it was awesome to have our new sink up and running for our guests!
My boyfriend is in the process of renovating a home and is nearly finished (having gutted it and started almost completely over) - just needs to do the finish work, etc. So it was nice to get the powder room done.
Anyways, I'm attaching a photo of your sink! The vanity and medicine cabinet are handmade and stained to look old, so the copper sink looks perfect with it. And the design is perfect - it looks a bit like a shell - and we are near the beach, so it works well.
I appreciate your help and will recommend you and your company if/when the opportunity arises.


Does Your Business Need To lease Finance New or Used Pallet Lifting And Moving Equipment?
Pallet moving and lifting equipment can be financed via a warehouse leasing program for both news and used equipment.
The more standardized types of pallet moving and lifting equipment, the more leasing options are going to be available to the business owner. On the contrary, the specialized or customized the item being considered for acquisition, the greater the challenge that could exist with respect to securing financing as there may not as active a resale market for the item compared to more commodity type unit. This effectively increases the lessor risk of loss if the asset ever needed to be resold to cover off lessee default.
For the most part, pallet lifting and moving equipment are fairly standardized items which makes equipment leasing readily available in most cases.
Because there is such a large range of pallet moving and lifting assets, different leasing companies will be more relevant for different dollar amounts.
For instance, there is a slice of the equipment leasing market that will only look at deals under $100,000 while at the other end, there are leasing companies that will not consider a deal under $500,000.
Because of the standardized nature of most pallet equipment, there is a strong resale market as well which lends itself to equipment leasing companies being prepared to offer equipment leasing commitments as they have a clear and well known liquidation pathway in place for the assets in the even that they need to dispose of any items that are financed after the lease has commenced.
The better the condition and newer a used asset, the more likely it will be for the business to secure a longer repayment term, supported by the lessor's assessment of the remaining useful life for a specific piece or pieces of pallet moving and lifting equipment.
To learn more about the equipment leasing options you may have for pallet moving and lifting equipment, give us a call so we can go through your requirements with you and provide equipment leasing options for your consideration. We'll make sure you get all you questions answered as soon as possible.

Home to Anthony Gaudi's surreal landmarks, a laid back atmosphere and lots of tasty Catalan dishes, Barcelona feasts the eye more than one could imagine as you find yourself immersed in art, taste and architecture.
Aside the ever popular quest for their independence, Catalans are an interesting bunch putting all of their energy in whatever they do. As you stroll around the city during your next city-break escape, take note of the below tips to keep away from the touristic path.
Barrio Gotico is the old town of Roman influence, offering a picturesque walk through the medieval history of the city and the small alleys. Early in the evening, impromptu fiestas are set up so make sure you pass by. If you're after some authentic espadrillas (alpargatas in their original name) visit La Manual Alpagatera - they may not speak English at all but they sell stylish pairs for both women and men at just 12 EUR each!
El Born is almost adjacent to the port, this neighbourhood was revived in the last decade or so, now filled with many options for drinks and restaurants. During the day it also offers the attraction of Park de la Ciutadella, home to famous music concerts. Lively attraction and tasty eats at the Santa Caterina market. At night, Passeig del Born is a nice small square filled with many options - the place to go. For the sweetooth, go grab some of their confectionery at Farggi.
White sand, vibrant seafront restaurants and beach tourists flock this area to catch a glimpse of the sea or for a bite of the famous paella, a specialty in the area.
Famed as the ideal Olympic city for its reuse of the Olympic sites after the games, Barcelona has sustained a good use of the Olympic village that offers great 360 views around the city. Montjuic is definitely a must see destination with a diverse mix of nature art and fun. Those that love art would definitely have to stop at Fundacio Miro. The cable car up to the Montjuic top is also good but the walk down through the Palacio Nacional leading to Plaza Espanya is even better!
Gracia has a nice feel around this old village feel neighbourhood with small streets and rustic storefronts. For the brave ones there's also Parc Guell that albeit small, offers a pleasant break from the busy streets around the city.
Diagonal is one of the most central avenues of the city, featuring many options for shopping but also good eateries. Probably the busiest monument of the city, along with other famous Gaudi creations, La Sagrada Familia is a must. Interesting walk up to the top through the narrow and steep stairways of this gothic architecture church offering great views around.
One last stop at Casa Batlló is a must, to witness one of the greatest Gaudi creations. A colourful apartment block with a surreal curved designed roof!
La Sagrada Familia - one of the most visited landmarks of the whole world, this is Antoni Gaudí's renowned unfinished church, featuring a museum and magnificent city views. The walk up can be tough if you're not used to low ceilings and narrow staircases but it's definitely worth it!
Mercado de la Boqueria - on the busy and touristic street of La Rambla, probably the only spot you need to see. Great atmosphere in this lively market where you're surrounded by fresh produce and a colorful setting!
Cupcakes Barcelona - great place for brunch; try the blue spirulina smoothie bowl for something different!
El National - fantastic decor and tasty food! Have your camera ready!
Toto - old fashioned open kitchen style restaurant!

Christmas!? | What is Freedom?
Hope all of you had a good Christmas. I certainly had a very enjoyble day, from being woken at 8am by Linda's excited parents, to an awesome dinner where I ate loads, to trying out my new Gorilla Tripod. We were notciably absent from any sort of Church activity I'm ny required to do much in Portlethen services, and Linda's parents Church had no Christmas day service. So the only service we were at was the 8pm at Penicuik North Kirk, the Church Jonnie's Dad is minister at. It was a really good service, lovely songs and readings, I found myself thinking back to my experiences in Israel alot. Wondering wat things were like for the people we met in the unreconized villages, in Bethlehem, what it would be like to be in a country where the majority of the population don't celebrate or care about Christmas…mostly I wondered about the people we saw/met/heard of that would celebrate today for Jesus, and Jesus alone, because they don't really have much else. I found myself thinking that, in many ways, they must have a much more authentic experience/vew of Christmas than those of us in the west, they don't have as many consumeristic trappings vying for their attention at this time of year, there seems to be so much more space and time made for the worship aspect of Christmas. Maybe thats just something I need to work on and not the whole western world! Jonnie's Dad kicked of all these thoughts with his talk, he was speaking about how so many of us fall into the trap of celebrating Christmas without really remembering Jesus…quite thought provoking.
It was a wierd Christmas, family wise. It didn't really feel like Christmas to most of us, until today. I don't think any of us realised how much we were going to miss Iona. It was sad to think about how this was meant to be her first Christmas…….
« Trip to the Holy Land….Sabbath & The unrecognised village…..


My deepest condolences, hon. I wish I'd known, . . . I would have reached out to see if you were okay, to maybe ease a bit of that loneliness. Glad to hear you've gotten to the stage where memories have some inspiration within the pain. I'll be thinking of you today.

In Memoriam: Bob Sasseen

University Community Remembers Former Long-Time President
Date published: July 26, 2017
"Liberal education has the potential to touch souls, to form character, to deepen understanding, as well as to develop the intellectual skills required by the world today," wrote Robert Francis "Bob" Sasseen, university president from 1981 to 1995, in the University of Dallas 1990 annual report.
The university community mourns the passing and remains forever grateful for the dedication and contributions of Sasseen, who is credited with stabilizing the university during his tenure as president. He passed away on June 14 in Salem, Oregon, at age 85.
According to University Historian Sybil Novinski, Sasseen gave his heart to the University of Dallas, coming on board at a time of significant change and financial difficulty and providing the needed leadership of a steadying hand. Before his arrival, the administration had launched a $15 million capital campaign to build new science laboratories. Under Sasseen's oversight and cultivation of donors, including Beatrice Haggerty, the campaign expanded to $20 million and completed not only the Patrick E. Haggerty Science Building but also the award-winning Chapel of the Incarnation (now the Church of the Incarnation). Other campus improvements during Sasseen's tenure included updating of all the Irving campus utility systems, which had been in dire need of overhaul.
Many of Sasseen's achievements as president can be credited to his connection with both university benefactors and the faculty. He shared a bond with and admired the faculty, and it was under Sasseen's presidency that the Faculty Senate was formed, as well as other crucial university councils and boards. Sasseen appointed the university's first provost, fellow political philosopher John Edward (Jack) Paynter; together the two reviewed many aspects of the institution, giving particular attention to the Institute of Philosophic Studies and the Rome Program. Toward the end of his presidency, Sasseen also secured the Eugene Constantin Campus as the permanent home of the Rome Program.
"The University of Dallas was blessed to have Bob Sasseen as its second long-term president," said Novinski. "He provided structures for the university, which was still a quite young institution at the time, outlining systems and processes to continue carrying the university's legacy for future generations."
A devout Catholic, Sasseen earned a bachelor's degree at the University of Notre Dame and master's and doctoral degrees at the University of Chicago after serving stateside during the Korean War. He taught at Marquette University, the University of Santa Clara and San Jose State University, becoming acting associate academic vice president and dean of faculty at San Jose State in 1972, before his appointment as president of the University of Dallas in July 1981. Once his tenure as president ended, he returned to teaching for a time before retiring fully.
Sasseen was drawn to the University of Dallas by its mission as a Catholic university, and in his presidency, he always strove to promote and further this mission. As he wrote in a 1995 review of The Challenge and Promise of a Catholic University (a collection of essays by University of Notre Dame professors), "The nihilism and relativism now dominant in the contemporary academy are not accidental. They are the fruit of its original founding in the opposition of reason and faith. If that is true, the modern university cannot be taken as the model of a great university. The rebirth of the Catholic university in America requires a better model and a truer vision. It requires a vision that unites faith and reason at the core of the university, perfecting it in the manner grace perfects nature, in the way that faith supports and illumines reason in its quest for truth and wisdom."
"As president of the University of Dallas, Bob Sasseen continuously emphasized the quality and distinctiveness of the UD curriculum and experience," said Chairman and Professor of Politics Richard Dougherty. "That articulation of the high mission of the university ('A place for leaders,' as the tagline said) was a welcome beacon in higher education. In his latter years, as he returned to the classroom, students marveled at his energy and inquisitiveness, which indicated a nimble mind at work. Bob's encouragement to me went a long way toward prompting me to finish my own degree, and for that I will be forever thankful."
Sasseen is survived by three sons, two daughters, a sister and seven grandchildren. His obituary in the Dallas Morning News can be found here. As the 2017-18 school year commences, the Mass of the Holy Spirit will be celebrated for him in the Church of the Incarnation on August 22 at 5 p.m.
"Bob was a man of vision who people trusted immensely," said Novinski.


A Scottish old timer is talking to a young man in a bar.
"Lad, look out there to the field. Do ye see that fence? Look how well it's built. I built that fence stone by stone with me own two hands. Piled it for months. But do they call me MacGregor-the-Fence-Builder? Nooo…" blurts the old man.
"Look here at the bar. Do ye see how smooth and just it is? I planed that surface down with me own achin' back. I carved that wood with me own hard labor for eight days. But do they call me MacGregor-the-Bar-builder? Nooo…" claims the old man.
Then the old man points out the window. "Eh, Laddy, look out to sea. Do ye see that pier that stretches out as far as the eye can see? I built that pier with the sweat off me back. I nailed it board by board. But do they call me MacGregor-the-Pier-Builder? Nooo…" says the old man.

"Want to win, hold on to the truth"– Patriarch Philaret
Interview with Patriarch of Kyiv and All Rus-Ukraine Philaret by Oleksandr Hnydyuk for Delegate Magazine.
"Want to win, hold on to the truth"– Patriarch Philaret, 4/19/2021
You overcame the coronavirus last September. At a respectable age. You turned 92 this year. How are you feeling? I know that you are actively working and serving more than young bishops.
I must say that I really feel young. You see, I serve continuously, I work all day without breaks. So I can only thank God for giving me strength. And once it gives strength, you have to work.
You have spent more than thirty years fighting for autocephaly. Today you criticize Tomos for autocephaly. They even left the OCU [Orthodox Church of Ukraine]. Many do not understand why this happened? Can you clarify the situation?
I feel that they do not understand why they asked for a Tomos, they received it, and the Patriarch suddenly left the Church for which he fought to get a Tomos. What is the reason? The reason is that the Tomos was given, but not the one that other churches have. Other churches have complete independence from the Patriarch of Constantinople, and we have been given a Tomos in which our dependence on the Patriarch of Constantinople has been recorded. We do not need such "independence" with dependence. We want to have complete independence. And what is our dependence on the Patriarch of Constantinople? First, that the UOC was given the name not by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, but by the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. Many people think: "Well, what's the difference: the UOC or the Orthodox Church of Ukraine?" And there is a difference. It is that this name limits the activities of the autocephalous church to the territory of Ukraine, and Ukrainians living outside Ukraine, no longer subordinate to the leadership of this church. And we wanted the Ukrainian diaspora to belong to the UOC, just as the diaspora of other churches belongs to their own churches. For example, does the Russian Church have its own diaspora around the world? It has. Bulgarian has, Romanian has, Serbian has. That is, all churches have their diaspora outside their canonical territory, and we, Ukrainians, are forbidden, and Constantinople has appropriated this diaspora. Therefore, we do not agree with this Tomos and left the church that accepted and obeyed this Tomos. Because it follows that in Ukraine today one part is dependent on Moscow, although it has autonomy and independence in management, is Metropolitan Onufriy, and the other part is headed by Metropolitan Epiphanius, having Tomos, i.e., autocephaly, dependent on the Patriarch of Constantinople. And we want to have our own independent church. I want to draw attention to why the Patriarch of Constantinople did not give the UOC a Tomos in the status of a patriarchate, but only a metropolitanate, and he fought for it very actively. The reason is that the patriarchate is a truly independent church, because the patriarchatecannot be part of another patriarchate, and the metropolis can. Therefore, one Ukrainian metropolitanate belongs to Moscow, and the other, with the status of autocephaly, is subordinated to the Patriarch of Constantinople. Realizing this, we have come out and maintain the status of patriarchy, full independence, and we believe that this church will win in the future.
Metropolitan Epiphanius was your disciple. He became the head of the OCU not without your help (at the Unification Council in December 2018), and then a certain conflict arose. Why did this happen?
I want to make such a digression. In the IV century the holy father Gregory the Theologian was known, and he had a disciple Maximus Cynic (Cynic). He raised him and brought him to the bishop. And when this Maximus became a bishop, he decided to overthrow his teacher Gregory the Theologian and become the patriarch of Constantinople. And then they began to ask Gregory the Theologian, how did it happen that you raised him, and he wants to overthrow you and take your place? And Gregory said: "I am not God and did not know what was going on in the soul of this Maxim Cynic." Similarly, I did not know what was going on in the soul of Metropolitan Epiphanius. If I had not supported him, he would never have become not only the head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. He would never have been the Metropolitan of Kyiv. But I did not know what he was like. And now he showed his insides, like Maxim Tsynik.
Is it true that when Tomos was brought to Kyiv in January 2019, you were not invited to the ceremony of receiving him in Sofia, Kyiv?
It's true. And I want to add why we have such a relationship with Metropolitan Epiphanius. Because thanks to me he became the head, and, becoming the head, left me completely. He never served with me, did not communicate with me, did not ask for advice. Did he think that he could do without the Patriarch? And most importantly, he renounced the status of patriarchy. And because he renounced this status, I left this church and now retain the Ukrainian Patriarchate. I believe that patriarchy has a future.
As you said, according to Tomos, the OCU has lost the right to take care of the Ukrainian diaspora, so the parishes must pass to Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople. Are there any parishes left with you? What is their position?
All the parishes that exist in Europe are subordinate to me as Patriarch. That is, after leaving the OCU, I restored the UOC of the Kyiv Patriarchate, but did not restore it by my order, but convened the Local Council on June 20, 2019. That is, there was a supreme governing body of the Local Orthodox Church, which had bishops, though few, but there were those who remained faithful to me, the clergy and the laity. We restored and continued the existence of the UOC-Kyiv Patriarchate. And because we are a patriarchate, we left this OCU. I repeat, today there is one metropolitanate subordinated to Moscow, another in the status of autocephaly, which is under the influence of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, and a third church, which is a truly independent Ukrainian church.
The current topic is the events in the United States. The Kyiv Patriarchate has its parishes in America, and the OCU forbids them from having a Tomos position. Tomos handed them over to the Patriarch of Constantinople. Are you planning to pay a pastoral visit to the United States? And what are the further prospects for the development of UOC-KP parishes in the United States?
Since the Kyiv Patriarchate exists, all Ukrainian parishes in Europe have remained part of the Kyiv Patriarchate. In the United States, the vast majority of parishes remained in the Kyiv Patriarchate, mostly, but some parishes found themselves outside the church. Why do I say "outside the church", because they do not have the right to be part of the OCU, that is, the church headed by Metropolitan Epiphanius, because in Tomos it is clearly stated: "limited to Ukraine", and they are outside Ukraine. And so these parishes found themselves outside the church. They do not have a bishop. And where there is none, there is no church. But the vast majority of parishes in America belong to the Kyiv Patriarchate, i.e., the Kyiv Patriarchate has parishes in Ukraine, Europe and the United States.
I am not planning a trip to the United States yet, because now there is a coronavirus, and everyone knows that moving from one country to another is problematic. So, given such conditions, I did not plan [a trip] in the near future. But online we communicate and hold a conference with the clergy who remained in the Kyiv Patriarchate. That is, we have connections with parishes, we have cooperation, but at a distance. The Vicariate of the UOC-KP in the United States, headed by Archpriest Bohdan Zhoba, is active. The main Cathedral of the Kyiv Patriarchate is located in Philadelphia.
You once met with current US President Joe Biden in Washington. What is your impression of communicating with him?
If he had not been worthy, if he had not been an intelligent man, he would not have become President of the United States of America. And so he has these qualities, so the American people elected him president. I had a very pleasant impression from meeting him. The man is open. And most importantly, he treats Ukraine and the Ukrainian people well. And this isvery important for us at a time when Ukraine is actually waging an undeclared war with Russia. For his activities aimed at supporting Ukraine, I presented Joe Biden with the Order of the UOC-KP of St. Prince Volodymyr. I pray for Biden because he asked for it himself. The fact is that after the visit Biden wrote me a letter asking me to mention him in prayer. He wrote it by hand. He also admitted that it was a great honor for him to be awarded the Order of the Kyiv Patriarchate.
Recently, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and Metropolitan of the OCU Epiphanius invited Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople to visit Kyiv this year and take part in the celebration of the 30th anniversary of Ukraine's Independence. Representatives of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate are categorically against. What is your attitude to the arrival of Patriarch Bartholomew in Ukraine?
We have our position on this and even expressed it in a special statement. We are convinced that this visit should be filled with a real historical mission and weight, and not just a trip. The episcopate, clergy and faithful of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate will once again be happy to welcome Patriarch Bartholomew as a guest on Ukrainian soil if he presents Tomos during his visit to grant the Ukrainian Orthodox Church patriarchate status. This will be a long-awaited act of justice and will ensure the real autocephaly of our Church. Only in the status of a patriarchate will the Ukrainian church be able to fully fulfill its mission of spiritual care over all Ukrainians living in Ukraine and abroad. Our Church addressed the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelensky and representatives of the Ukrainian authorities with a request to raise before Patriarch Bartholomew on the eve of his visit the issue of granting a new Thomas, which would fully correspond to the historical place and significance of the Ukrainian Church in world Orthodoxy. This will contribute to the true independence of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the consolidation of society and the unification of all Orthodox Ukrainians under one Patriarchal omophorion.
You were born and raised in Donbass. How do you see the fate of the territories occupied by Russia? Will they return to Ukraine?
Of course, they will return, because this is Ukrainian land. And the proof that Donbass is Ukrainian land, not Russian, is villages. There is not a single non-Ukrainian village in Donbass, there is not a single Russian village in Donbass. Well, if there are no Russian villages, only Ukrainian ones, then whose land? Ukrainian. And since Donbass is an industrial region, at the end of the 19th century people from all over the Russian Empire and then the Soviet Union began to come to work in factories, mines, and factories. Therefore, Donbass was settled by the Russian population. But they do not have the right to own Ukrainian land on Ukrainian soil. For example, there are many Ukrainians in Canada, even a Ukrainian who was the Prime Minister of Canada. We cannot say that, since there are many Ukrainians in Canada, Canada needs to join Ukraine. So why does Russia want to join Ukraine because that there are many Russians? This will not work. The Ukrainian people will not allow this. When the war in Donbass began, Galicians did not want to go there to defend Ukraine, Ukrainian land, they said, let the Easterners defend their own land. I then turned to them, to the Galicians, and said: if you want to live peacefully in Galicia, then go and defend Galicia in the Donbass. And if you do not defend Galicia in the Donbass, then Putin will come to you tomorrow, and you will fight in Galicia, defending your homes. And they listened. And since then, the volunteers have gone east. And we will return those areas. Not all of Donbass, only a third of the districts are subordinated to these so-called republics, and through them to Russia. I believe that the time will come when they will be forced to leave this territory. Ukraine was and will be united. I have no doubt about that. Besides, we are not alone. Europe with us, with us the United States, which supports us in this. Russia cannot resist such a force. Russia will fight for a while, and then will be forced to leave. Because this war has economic consequences, and the whole world will see what happens in Russia. It is not profitable, because it entails an economic downturn. Therefore, we will live until the time when Russia will be forced to leave Donbass, and the current leadership will be forced to return to a single Ukrainian government.
What are your current contacts with the authorities? Do you meet with the President, the Prime Minister, the ministers?
I met, but now I do not meet. Why? Because Metropolitan Epiphanius, together with former President Poroshenko, deregistered the Kyiv Patriarchate, illegally, without my knowledge. And since we are not registered now, the President cannot meet with us either, because he is told that we seem to exist outside the law. That is why we are now trying to restore the registration of the Kyiv Patriarchate through the courts and through various figures, state and public. Recently, the court ordered the State Bureau of Investigation to initiate criminal proceedings against representatives of the former government involved in the illegal deregistration of the Kyiv Patriarchate. I hope we will achieve this. Because we defend the truth, and the truth always wins. He who does not follow the path of truth will sooner or later be cast out.
The question of the Patriarchal residence selected by Epiphanius. Is it true that the building where we are now and which you built in the 1970s, Metropolitan Epiphanius has now rewritten for himself without your consent?
Tell me, does the person who re-registered this property of the Kyiv Patriarchate have a conscience at the OCU? Besides secretly, without my knowledge. I believe that this person is unscrupulous. This is the worst when a person loses conscience. We will fight, and I believe we will win. Our property is ours and will be ours. And he is only ashamed, this will be the result of his actions. Two people committed this crime: Epiphanius and former President Poroshenko. Poroshenko is a deceiver, and Epiphanius is unscrupulous. And where there is truth, there is God, and where there is God, there is victory. Want to win, hold on to the truth, and God will be with you. And He will help you win. And if you do not keep the truth and God, you can temporarily celebrate victory, like the Soviet Union, which celebrated its victory for 70 years, living a lie, and then disintegrated in an instant, because the truth still won. So it will be here.
In general, in your opinion, how should two very important institutions – the church and the state – interact, and should this happen at all? (As we can see from the example of neighboring Poland, the state maintains very close ties with the church and takes a rather conservative position on this).
The state must take care of its own affairs, and the church, which is separated from the state, must take care of its own. But since the church is within the state, and the same people belong to both the state and the church, there must be interaction. The church should promote the establishment of the state, and the state should promote normal church life. Not interfering in each other's affairs but interacting. Because it is often said that you are separated from the state, and then why do so and so. For example, when the war in Donbass started, our army was disarmed and there was no one to defend it, we, as a church, appealed to the people to help, but also to raise funds and help the army. Then they gathered this volunteer movement, and the army became combat-ready. But the church has not and should not interfere in state policy. We are on this road. We do not interfere in the policy of the state, but we cooperate in the development of our Ukrainian state.
Today, Ukrainians, like the rest of the world, are experiencing the consequences of the corona crisis. I am sure that it is important for millions of Ukrainians to hear certain instructions from you on how to get through this, of course, difficult period.
The question is very complicated because, you see, the coronavirus has turned the world upside down, everything has changed. We can't say when it will end. Because it depends first of all on God. God has allowed such trouble, but the cause of this trouble is ourselves -the people. For their sins, for their lies. We created all this and now we are reaping what we have sown. Now it needs to be fixed. And to correct means to live in truth, to love one another, to help, to live in peace and harmony, not to incite enmity. And the Lord, seeing our good intentions, will stop it.
