Vicente Francisco Soca Barreto (Canelones; 24 de julio de 1856 - Montevideo; 29 de marzo de 1922) fue un médico y político uruguayo.

Biografía
Hijo de una familia que procedía de las Islas Canarias y recientemente afincada en el país. Sus padres fueron Victorio Soca y Bárbara Barreto.

Fue huérfano de padre desde muy niño y criado con dedicación por un amigo de la familia que sustentó sus primeros años de educación. Después de cursar estudios elementales y el bachillerato, Soca inició estudios superiores de medicina, graduándose en Montevideo, previamente había realizado un viaje a Barcelona. Un tío materno suyo respaldó su perfeccionamiento en la Universidad de París, donde incorporado al ejercicio de su profesión amplió conocimientos, escribiendo en aquella circunstancia un trabajo de gran valor científico que fue publicado en las más prestigiosas revistas de la materia.

Casado el 5 de abril de 1905 con Luisa Blanco Acevedo, hermana del Doctor Eduardo Blanco Acevedo, con quien tuvo a su única hija, la poetisa Susana Soca.

Actividad científica
Retorna a la patria y funda una clínica para niños, dispersando sus inquietudes en diversas actividades docentes hasta llegar al Decanato de la Facultad de Medicina y al Rectorado de la Universidad, siendo honrado en el año 1917 con el título de Miembro de la Academia de Medicina de París, la más alta distinción que puede recibir un médico extranjero.
Su sólida capacidad para la acción le permite colaborar en el progreso cívico de la República como integrante de la Cámara de Diputados, del Senado cuya presidencia ejerciera y del Consejo Nacional de Administración.

Su laboriosa personalidad científica había superado las fronteras del Uruguay, para convertirse en una figura de relieve mundial; diversas publicaciones recogieron sus magníficos trabajos de esforzado investigador.

Actividad política
Fue militante del Partido Colorado y llegó a integrar las Cámaras de Diputados y la de Senadores en varias oportunidades.

Muerte
Quebrantada su salud, el 29 de marzo de 1922, luego de un ataque cerebrovascular, dejó de existir, rodeado de la gratitud y la conmovida admiración de su pueblo. Descansa en el Panteón Nacional del Cementerio Central de Montevideo, junto a grandes figuras del Uruguay por los méritos de su producción científica.

Homenajes
En el departamento de Canelones, una ciudad, el hospital de la ciudad de Canelones, una importante avenida y una plaza de Montevideo, llevan su nombre como homenaje.

Migraine headache is a very specific type of headache accompanied by neurological symptoms.
Some migraine sufferers note that their headache may be triggered by certain foods, such as alcohol, sulfites, and chocolate; missing meals or rest; emotional stress; and over-stimulating lights, sound or smells.
Some notice a "prodrome": a symptom that signals the headache is beginning. This symptom may be a vision change, a smell, an eye movement, ear ringing, dizziness, or a specific pain that precedes the typical headache pattern.
The head pain is often one-sided and throbbing in nature. Associated symptoms include flashes of light behind the eye (scotomata); sensitivity to light, sound, and/or smells; nausea and/or vomiting; other visual disturbances; and neck stiffness. Most people find they must stop activity and lay in a quiet, dark room. Many find sleep helps relieve or improve symptoms, although not always.
Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Trigger Point Therapy, Neurological Scalp Acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, and/ or pharmaceuticals may all be used to combat this difficult condition.

Ron ThompsonThe 2014 National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) Derby featured the finals in Non-Pro competition on June 27: the $78,000-added Level 4, $60,000-added Level 3; $32,500-added Level 2, $15,000-added Level 1 and $5,000-added Prime Time divisions. Out of the original 217 horses and 650 entries, the top 56 horse-and-rider teams qualified to compete in the finals at Oklahoma State Fair Park in Oklahoma City. This year's Derby finals were the richest ever, paying approximately $322,000 to owners and nominators.
Thompson, of Whitesboro, Texas, owns Taris Dreamer, a 2009 gelding that has earned nearly $140,000 in NRHA competition. Together, they have won an NRHA Futurity Prime Time Non-Pro Championship, a National Reining Breeders Classic (NRBC) Level 4 Non-Pro Championship and two NRBC Prime Time Non-Pro championships. In 2011, the gelding was consigned to the NRHA/Markel Insurance Futurity Prospect Sale. During this year's Derby finals, they won $15,344 in the Level 4 and $2,660 for winning the Prime Time. Werner Hermus nominated Taris Dreamer (Magnum Chic Dream x Taris San Cutter) and earned the $808 nominator incentive.
Made By Magnum & Lyndsey JordanIn addition to the Level 4 honors, Jordan and Made By Magnum took home the Levels 3 and 2 Non-Pro championships. Jordan, of Georgetown, Ky., owns the 2010 stallion by Magnum Chic Dream and out of Ready Make Cowboy. Made By Magnum, also nominated by Jordan, has earned nearly $30,500 in NRHA monies, including a third place in the Level 2 Open division at the 2013 NRHA Futurity with Robin Schoeller. Jordan has won $46,300 in NRHA competition, an Adequan North American Affiliate Championship, a Limited Non-Pro World Championship, plus an NRHA Collegiate Reining Championship. Their derby paycheck amounted to $39,416, including the 5 percent nominator incentive.
With a score of 220.5, Jack Medows, of Cuba, Mo., and Surprizentheprincess (Jerry Lees Surprise x Princess In Diamonds) clenched the Level 1 Non-Pro Championship. They placed third in Levels 3 and 2, as well as fourth in Level 4. Medows' mother, Amy, owns the 2009 mare that was nominated by Clinton Anderson. Medows won $27,706, including the 5 percent Jack Medows & Surprizentheprincessnominator incentive for Anderson.
The Youth Non-Pro Championship was determined in the go-round earlier in the week. The championship honors went to Genevieve Shifrin, of Aspen, Colo., and Bella Juice (Smart Like Juice x Bella Conquistador) for owner/nominator Cache Performance Horses LLC.
The NRHA congratulated Magnum Chic Dream, owned by Viola Scott, for the performance of his offspring – Taris Dreamer and Made By Magnum – in the Non-Pro finals. Magnum Chic Dream earned $2,500 and an NRHA Sire & Dam bronze for his foals' efforts. Colonels Smoking Gun (Gunner) was also recognized for Check Out My Guns' finish and was awarded $500 from the NRHA Sire & Dam Program.


Massive job losses in the United States, over eight million since the onset of the "Great Recession," call for job creation measures through fiscal expansion. In this paper we analyze the job creation potential of social service–delivery sectors—early childhood development and home-based health care—as compared to other proposed alternatives in infrastructure construction and energy. Our microsimulation results suggest that investing in the care sector creates more jobs in total, at double the rate of infrastructure investment. The second finding is that these jobs are more effective in reaching disadvantaged workers—those from poor households and with lower levels of educational attainment. Job creation in these sectors can easily be rolled out. States already have mechanisms and implementation capacity in place. All that is required is policy recalibration to allow funds to be channeled into sectors that deliver jobs both more efficiently and more equitably.

CONCESSION STREET SECRETS
The year 1868 is a tough time to be intersexual, especially if you're a woman—and in love.
Eliza Malkins, printer at the Kingston British Whig newspaper, is secretly in love with reporter Alex O'Shea. Although they are best friends with a shared passion for many things, including the mystery novel Alex is writing, Eliza would never dare to voice her feelings for fear of being rejected due to her unique anatomical makeup.
Their relationship takes an unexpected turn when, while on assignment in Ottawa, Alex encounters a vulnerable young woman who has escaped from confinement in her own house. The further he is drawn into the mysterious young woman's world, the more compelled he feels to protect her from the dark forces that seem to be draining her life right before his eyes. Before he can enact his plan to rescue her, however, he finds himself embroiled in a murder mystery that seems like it came right out of one of the novels he enjoys, with one significant twist: he's the primary suspect. Desperate to help her friend, Eliza sheds her identity as a woman and takes on the persona of Timothy Fairlight, detective. Her investigative skills are put to the ultimate test as she seeks to save her beloved from the hangman's noose. Not only that, for the first time in her life, her identity as intersex becomes an asset rather than a liability.

"BRIGHT DEEP"
"Lovers of fantasy and magic will warm to this coming-of-age tale filled with wizardry and spells." -Kirkus Reviews
RALPH F. SMITH
This novel emanates from author Ralph F. Smith's love of mysteries in nineteenth-century novels by authors like Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins. However, he was inspired, in particular, by a Victorian-era photo of a dead bride that he stumbled across. It was common for such photos to be taken, but almost always, live people would also be in the picture. Where was the woman's husband or fiancé? Ralph thought there had to be a story behind that photo, and his imagination set to work, developing a murder mystery novel. Ralph's previous publications include the coming-of-age fantasy novel Bright Deep (2013) as well as numerous short stories and poems in various journals and anthologies. He also wrote and performed a series of first-person narratives on Saskatchewan history for CBC Radio. He lives in Ottawa with his wife, Dr. Fionnuala O'Kelly.

A land of nomadic horsemen and arid steppes that stretch to either jagged mountains or the massive Gobi Desert, Mongolia's cold, windy landscape evokes images of Genghis Khan and Mongol hordes. Traditional and exotic, Mongolian culture still revolves around a nomadic heritage with the family ger(yurt) at the centre, and horses the only transport. In the capital of Ulaanbaatar, Russian, Chinese, and Tibetan influences mix, and Tibetan Buddhist monasteries are infused with Mongolian Shamanism. Every year the capital hosts the colourful Naadam festival, where thousands flock to compete in the "three manly games" of wrestling, archery, and cross-country horse racing, said to be tests of a warrior's courage and strength.
The three sports are called "Danshig" games. They became the great celebration of the new nation, where the nobility got together to dedicate to the Jabzundamba Khutugtu, the new head of state.
Genghis Khan's nine horse tails, representing the nine tribes of the Mongols, are still ceremonially transported from Sukhbaatar Square to the Stadium to open the Naadam festivities. At these opening and closing ceremonies, there are impressive parades of mounted cavalry, athletes and monks.

Won't you be my conservation neighbor?
Let's say you're the head of a land trust with a detailed map outlining the network of lands and waters you need to protect so that fish, wildlife, and natural splendor may endure in your community for generations to come. If the next town over decided to site a housing development on priority habitat just beyond your group's boundary, would that affect wildlife movement within? Would you even learn about the plan in time to suggest an alternative?
The 12 Rivers Initiative isn't waiting for the ominous rumble of bulldozers in the distance. Last year, the Maine-based conservation partnership applied for a grant from the Open Space Institute (OSI) to reexamine their long-term conservation planning through the lens of regional climate data. The objective wasn't just to refine conservation priorities within their boundaries; it was to better align with conservation priorities outside of them.

"We saw this as an opportunity to approach land trusts at the edges of our landscape to talk about where conservation corridors should go once they leave our map," said Anna Fiedler, Director of Conservation for Midcoast Conservancy, one of the eight land trusts that comprise the 12 Rivers partnership.
12 Rivers is one example of how conservation groups working across a relatively small area are having a meaningful impact on the larger landscape by incorporating climate change into long-term planning. Building on its partnership with the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative, OSI is now offering support for land trusts across the eastern United States, helping them integrate climate change into their conservation plans through workshops and outreach support available across the region in partnership with the Land Trust Alliance.
With guidance from Gillian Davies of the BSC group, Fiedler's colleague Ruth Indrick, Project Coordinator at Kennebec Estuary Land Trust, created a map highlighting overlapping priority areas identified by combining the Terrestrial Resilience and Regional Flow datasets developed by The Nature Conservancy and the Index of Ecological Integrity developed by the Designing Sustainable Landscapes Project at UMass Amherst. Together these datasets can help practitioners identify sites in the Northeast with characteristics necessary to support biodiversity and wildlife movement into the future, and all three are available for anyone to access in the Land Protection in a Changing Climate gallery in the North Atlantic LCC's Conservation Planning Atlas.
The 12 Rivers Initiative created a new conservation plan designed to support habitat for wildlife and community needs, like working lands and recreation, across an 825,000-acre landscape in Maine using the best available data in the region.
Idrick and Fiedler then presented this co-occurrence model along with individual maps depicting each dataset at a workshop for staff from all eight land trusts of 12 Rivers, as well as for those along the boundaries.
"We talked about what we envisioned for planning, shared maps with the lands committee at each land trust so they could ground truth what the models showed, and agreed to reexamine the edges and corridors with new information provided by our neighbors." said Fiedler. "Mapping is a great tool, but it's important to use local knowledge to put it to the test."
It's also good diplomacy. "The conversation really strengthened our relationships with the land trusts at our borders," she said.
The map has provided scientific reinforcement for the direction the partnership is heading. "The data showed us that we already had a solid conservation plan in place, but by making sure it is aligned with new knowledge, it shows that we are looking ahead," said Fiedler. "That's really valuable when going to donors and funders."
While 12 Rivers is still in the process of realigning its conservation plan based on input from partners and neighbors, the mapping exercise itself has initiated important conversations as the partnership looks ahead. "We are seeing now that the bulk of the effort moving forward will be communicating about it," said Fiedler. "We are incorporating more climate change context into our work, and we are looking for ways to talk about it that keeps a range of different people engaged, without using the kinds of buzzwords that can close the conversation."

In addition to addressing sensitivity to language, they are trying to make it real for their members. Fiedler explained that during a second workshop, in which they shared the maps with board members and staff from all 12 Rivers partner land trusts, they also asked attendees to take part in a role-playing activity. Everyone paired up and pretended to be either a skeptical landowner or a member of a land trust who was trying to convince that landowner it was critical to conserve his or her property.
"Most people didn't even use the phrase 'climate change' in their conversations," explained Fiedler. "Rather, they said that finding some common ground with the other person was the best way to get through to them."
It seems just like in productive conservation, productive communication demands meeting people on their terms, even if that's beyond where your own map ends.
Since the staffs of land trusts within 12 Rivers approach donors and community members as representatives of their own organizations, it's important that they are equipped with consistent messages about the climate data at the foundation of their shared plan. As such, Fiedler said the circuit rider helped them develop initial messaging about their work based on research from the Yale Program on Climate Communication. OSI is considering providing further support to 12 Rivers to advance their climate communications.
"It's wonderful to have that kind of support," said Fiedler. "I'm glad they understand that communication is critical to long-term planning."

Storm proofers: Preparing a New Jersey refuge for the next big event
Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge
When Hurricane Sandy hit at the end of October, 2012, the refuge staff at Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in Basking Ridge, N.J., just 26 miles west of Manhattan's Times Square, thought they were prepared. Winter hadn't yet fully kicked in, and most of its buildings were equipped with generators that would provide backup power.
But no one expected that the severity of damage to the regional power grid would leave the refuge and general area without electricity for nearly two weeks. With numerous blocked roads and regional fuel shortages, trucks scheduled to deliver propane and diesel fuel were delayed, adding additional stress to an already difficult situation.
"We had to go as far as Pennsylvania to get fuel for the generators," says refuge manager Bill Koch. "Some local gas stations that had fuel and the power to pump it were rationing at limits insufficient to our needs."

Faced with the likelihood that there will be more frequent, intense storms like Hurricane Sandy in years to come, Koch and his staff have been planning and preparing the refuge for the next big one. Thanks to funding from the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, a propane tank at the refuge's visitor center will be replaced by a permanent natural gas pipeline that will feed furnaces and generators. Solar-powered systems will be installed at headquarters and the visitor center. A gas line and generators will also be installed at the refuge's dormitory and one of the living quarters. These measures will assure both uninterrupted heat and emergency electricity for headquarters, the dormitory, staff housing and the visitor center.

The headquarters and visitor center solar-powered systems will be installed on new metal roofs which will be more durable, longer-lasting and recyclable. A small diesel generator will be installed at a heated public restroom, to prevent the recurrence of frozen pipes.
"We are in the planning and design stage of doing everything we can to become more self-sufficient," says Koch.

Ever see a red knot in action?
Our videographers Keith Shannon and Beth Decker took a road trip from our Hadley, Mass., office down to the Delaware Bay to catch these amazing shorebirds in action.
Red knots are ruddy-breasted shorebirds just about the size of a robin. On wingspans of 20 inches, red knots fly more than 9,300 miles from south to north every spring and repeat the trip in reverse every autumn. When they make their last major stop at Delaware Bay, they must nearly double their weight to make the last leg to the Arctic. One bird, called B95 after his leg band number, has been nicknamed the Moonbird, as researchers figure his 20 or more years of migrations would have taken him to the moon and at least halfway back.
Scientists in countries across the shorebird's range share concern for the red knot and expect the species to be particularly affected by global climate change, which will be greatest at the latitudes where it breeds and winters.
It's more important than ever to know understand this species, which is why our biologists are studying the birds to figure out exactly where they go when they leave the U.S. Hear how they do it in this post by biologists Stephanie Koch and Susi vonOettingen, "Linking red knots from Monomoy to Cuba and beyond." Furl, smear, jiggle, twinkle and fire. It's all in a day of red knot banding.
Read two recent news stories on the red knot, from The Washington Post and McClatchy Newspapers.

*** Please note that this document is for reference only and is considered by the farmer before practicing outdoors.
Free flying is a complex issue that requires the knowledge of the parrot to be very high. Do not encourage uninitiated people to fly freely by flying freely with great risk that the Parrot may fly away even today's leading trainers. But they limit the risk to the lowest level. With good training specialists, the risky situation is very good.
Many of you have been raising parrots even when they grow parrots. But when grown up they are not as docile as we would like, some individuals may even return to bite the farmer, even though you have tried the best care possible for it. What you did wrong here is that your care is not right. First, I have to tell you the difference between "feeding as fully as possible" and "feeding on science." In fact, you are trying to meet the nutritional needs of the parrots by making a variety of dishes for them to fill up bowls of food so that the parrot does not get hungry … It is because of that that is lost. the connection between you and the pet. The parrot does not depend on you.
Through these facilities I built a more scientific way of feeding and still secured the growth of the parrot's body and simultaneously stimulated their intelligent movement.
I divided my food into 2 meals a day (1-8 am, 2-6 pm). The amount of food they consumed during the day was about 20% of their body weight. The amount of food can change a little depending on what food it is that the calories in that little or more that adjust to increase or decrease a little food.
I would give a 1/3 cup of breakfast (supper should be vegetables, fruits, bulbs, high fiber foods) and dinner would be a meal that would be 2/3 (food It is recommended to feed grain, starchy foods and oils.
When I give advice about food management, some people are mistaken about starving a bird so that the bird can hear you. Actually, the nature of the two issues is to increase the focus of the parrot's training, but the two issues are completely different.
It is before training people or starving them to be more obedient. This is a negative way for people to control the parrot in a matter of moments.
The meal is divided into two clear and fixed meals so that the parrot is not starved to eat one-two-day meals as if the dog or cat is in the house.
When meal and time are fixed, the body of the parrot, the digestive organs regulate the enzyme digestion, based on a recurring biological cycle schedule.
For example, with the average weight of gray parrots giving them the freedom to eat 4.5g – 5.5g so my ideal weight here is that I can manage them at 4.5g or a little lower. So they will listen to you when you train and still maintain good health for the bird.
Before half-an-hour meal we take parrots to eat as a reward for training.
Dress for the Parrot flying between you and strangers to enhance your social life. The parrot will not fear strangers and will not fly when you meet strangers.
-You can train some parrots for training and rewards that will help you to have a better relationship with the Parrots.
– Play with them always feel comfortable for them.
-The children like to play with colorful toys.
– Some of your actions that make them angry should know that they do not like and need to be taboo. Avoid that and continue teasing them will be bad impression on you.
After you have mastered and completed all of the above, is it time for you to ask the question? Well, to be able to release the freedom without risk, before you master the above processes, you need to check that their behavior is safe enough to release the strings.
For example, I had a gray parrot after completing the steps I started tracking and counting the number of times I dropped the guarded rope and the area in my yard would drop the rope at the level if the bird flies in In the yard, the rope tied. Passing the patio area will be stretched. So when the parrot is not strained, then the parrot flies to meet the requirements and I count it as a successful flight. continue the same day the next line not stretched I counted as 2 times successful fly. continue to count so successful flight times 3, successful flight times 4, ……. But once you have tied the strings in successive times, you will begin to recalculate from the unsuccessful level so keep checking so until 50 successive "successful" drops you can take off. freehand rope 50 times flying parrots in control, then surely 51 times (the first unleash – the first free flight) will also be in control.
Post-trasses still interleave with the release of several strings in the freezes, which can then be dropped completely while flying.
– When the fly free fly successfully, but want to bring to another place. You do not need to recalculate 50 successes but just count the 10 successful times that you can untie!

'I thought I was being invited to a democratic country': Linda Sarsour reacts to Mayor Bowman's comments
Megan Benedictson, Digital Videojournalist

An activist invited to speak in Winnipeg said she was shocked by recent comments from Mayor Brian Bowman, who earlier this week called for her to be removed from a panel discussion Friday night.
"I thought I was being invited to a democratic country where the Canadian people enjoy freedom of speech and want to afford it to everyone and I was quite shocked that a mayor would be denouncing a person he does not know," said Linda Sarsour at a media conference Friday, flanked by supporters from a number of social justice organizations.
On Tuesday Bowman said it was not appropriate to give Sarsour, a Palestinian-American who helped organize the Women's March movement, as his office put it, a platform "to further propagate anti-Semitic views and hate."
At the media conference, Harold Shuster of Independent Jewish Voices, was among those who spoke in support of Sarsour.
"On Tuesday, Mayor Bowman condemned Sarsour for attacking the foundation of Israel's right to exist, suggesting this and other supposed transgressions to be a sign of her anti-Semitic views and hate," said Shuster. "Memo to Brian Bowman: Sarsour is a Palestinian whose land is currently being occupied and actively colonized by an Israeli state that discriminates against her by law. Is it any wonder why anyone, let alone a Palestinian, might challenge the nature of such a state."
Sarsour said prior to denouncing her participation in the panel discussion event, being put on by the Social Planning Council of Winnipeg, Bowman did not attempt to speak with her.
She also told media the mayor of any city should take into consideration the views of all communities that make up that city, and it was unfair and unjust to target her.
"But to blame a woman of colour, a mother, an organizer in the United States, for me, is beyond the pale," she said, adding that she is still glad to have been invited to speak in Winnipeg.
"I'm very excited and honoured to be here with the Social Planning Council and I'm very honoured to be here with members of the Jewish community, who I have built a long-term, 20-year relationship in the United States with them, so I was quite shocked and dismayed by the mayor's remarks," she said.
A protest of the event is expected to take place at 6:30 p.m. Friday.
The panel discussion, titled "Sorry Not Sorry: Unapologetically Working for Social Justice," is set to get underway at 7 p.m. at the Ukrainian Labour Temple.

Is that a 'controversial' statement?
Days after releasing the follow-up to the critically acclaimed The Satanist, Behemoth's Adam "Nergal" Darski ('Nergal' is the Mesopotamian God of Death, pestilence, and plague, and the lord of the underworld), has been hitting the 'talk show' circuit. I Loved You At Your Darkest was released last Friday, and while it hasn't been hailed as the classic The Satanist immediately was, it's not meeting with much backlash either.
And here's the first track on The Satanist.
"Culturally, hipsters make the world evolve. Am I hipster myself? I don't know because I try to run away from any definitions. People love to put stickers on your forehead, and my own forehead there's a lot of space so I always get more than one. It's cool. If it makes your life easier, it's cool with me, but trust me, if I'm a hipster then fine, I'm a hipster and a billion other things at the same time. I throw the card out and I do it because that's what the complexity of human nature is all about. We're very complex beings and you people, you bashers and accusers, you better learn that. The sooner you learn about that the happier and less frustrated you're going to be, the less violent and aggressive you're going to be towards other people because it's all about yourself.
To be clear, Nergal did not endorse Hitler or the Nazis, and nor am I; the assertion that Hitler and the Nazis were simply not human beings, and should therefore be subjectively tossed aside, is one of the most dangerous thoughts of our time, because it leaves us with nothing but ignorance (on a moral or ethical level, at the very least) regarding one the most horrific situations in the history of our species. That was a pretty big thing, what happened between 1932 and 1945, and to ignore the potential lessons learned from it, out of fear or anxiety or what have you, is equivalent to the child who refuses to eat anything after she tasted a lemon for the first time and didn't like it: sooner or later, you have to handle what you fear; we're running away from what makes us who we are, and the fact that part of what we are is not perfect, and potentially evil, whether we like it or not, whether we realize it or not (hipsters).
Last week, Hillary Clinton called for incivility if the Democrats don't win in the midterms. Eric Holder suggested 'when they go low, we kick 'em!' The president of the United States today called an ex-lover 'horseface' and reveled in the fact that her defamation lawsuit was thrown out, to which she responded by making fun of his genitalia, and one of the frontrunners for the Democratic 2020 presidential nomination provided 'proof' that she was Native American (less than .1% Native American, to be exact) so she could claim 'diversity' and so convince her constituents that she 'really cares' about the underrepresented, because, apparently, DNA is the the only way to know that.
So what are you going to do about it? I'm going to go home and drink a beer, conspire to bring down the patriarchy from the comfort of my own bean-bag chair snugged cozily by the fire. You gonna get pissed off at me for bringing that up, bruh? Call up the church and let them know that, once again, those craaazy metalheads are turning us all into satanists? Or maybe just call the cops on me for my long hair and my disgusting Pantera t-shirt.
This leather jacket is gonna need another patch.

Another bishop restricts eulogies
Sermons for the older form, Extraordinary Form, Requiem Mass are to be pronounced only with the permission of the local bishop and are to be delivered after Mass concludes, while wearing no vestments.
There is a lot of wisdom in this, especially in the older form of Mass which people knew well. First, the Church herself presented what she knows we need to hear as we all march equally toward heaven through the doors of death. In the traditional Requiem, we are equal.
Also, consider the possibilities of putting your foot wrong in a delicate moment or having a sermon turn into a political harangue or emotional outburst. You can multiply examples of things that can and do go wrong.
And they can and do go wrong, often very wrong, when in the Novus Ordo eulogies are given at funerals.
This is why some bishops are wising up and beginning to restrict, in a more direct way, eulogies at funerals. For a good example of that, and some background on the Church's law, go HERE. Bp. Morlino of Madison issued directives about this for the Diocese of Madison.
Bishop issues rules for funerals to stop 'dumbing down' of Mass
The Bishop of Meath in Ireland has issued new guidelines for funerals to counter the "dumbing down" of the Mass.
The guidelines clarified that eulogies had no place during a liturgy, but should take place outside the church.
They received some criticism, including from the Association of Catholic Priests (ACP). [To avoid the offense implied in this abbreviation, which we all know is a type of .45 cal ammo, it is better to use Ass.CP.]
In a statement Bishop Michael Smith thanked his priests for upholding the dignity of the funeral liturgy "often in difficult circumstances".
Quoting a book by the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, he said secular culture tended towards the "materialistic trivialisation of death". Cardinal Ratzinger, he said, wrote that: "Death is to be deprived of its character as a place where the metaphysical breaks through. Death is rendered banal so as to quell the unsettling questions that arise from it." [Example: covering graveside dirt with artificial turf.]
Bishop Smith said the funeral liturgy had a clear focus. "It is a prayer of petition for the deceased, a prayer commending the deceased to God's tender mercy and compassion, a prayer rooted in the hope engendered by the Death and Resurrection of Christ."
Eulogies, therefore, as well as secular songs, poems and readings, "should not take place" during the Mass, the bishop said. He added that priests should only engage with the family about the Mass, not with a "funeral planner". [Depending on the "funeral planner", of course.]
His guidelines were criticised by ACP spokesman Fr Sean McDonagh, who said he "doesn't really understand" the reasoning behind the directive. He said: "As far as I can see there is no way that eulogies interfere with the integrity of the Eucharist. [aka "Mass"] Most of them are totally appropriate for funerals." [The Church disagrees.]

Palladio says:
What, don't all Catholics go to heaven?
Seriously, I just heard a someone in the Church say (shan't say who, shan't say where) "We know that [they: dead guys] are in heaven." Perhaps a moment of weakness, on my part, of understanding that person, who shall remain nameless, unless people convince me to say who.
P. S. From Caeremoniale Romanvm:
It is always a good time to think about death:
Dies irae, dies illa
solvet saeclum in favilla:
teste David cum Sibylla.
Quantus tremor est futurus,
quando iudex est venturus,
cuncta stricte discussurus!
Tuba mirum spargens sonum
per sepulcra regionum,
coget omnes ante thronum.
Mors stupebit et natura,
cum resurget creatura,
iudicanti responsura.
Liber scriptus proferetur,
in quo totum continetur,
unde mundus iudicetur.
Iudex ergo cum sedebit,
quidquid latet apparebit:
nil inultum remanebit.
Quid sum miser tunc dicturus?
Quem patronum rogaturus,
cum vix iustus sit securus?
Rex tremendae majestatis,
qui salvandos salvas gratis,
salva me fons pietatis.
Recordare, Iesu pie,
quod sum causa tuae viae:
ne me perdas illa die.
Quaerens me, sedisti lassus:
redemisti Crucem passus:
tantus labor non sit cassus.
Iuste iudex ultionis,
donum fac remissionis
ante diem rationis.
Ingemisco, tamquam reus:
culpa rubet vultus meus:
supplicanti parce, Deus.
Qui Mariam absolvisti,
et latronem exaudisti,
mihi quoque spem dedisti.
Preces meae non sunt dignae:
sed tu bonus fac benigne,
ne perenni cremer igne.
Inter oves locum praesta,
et ab haedis me sequestra,
statuens in parte dextra.
Confutatis maledictis,
flammis acribus addictis:
voca me cum benedictis.
Oro supplex et acclinis,
cor contritum quasi cinis:
gere curam mei finis.
Lacrimosa dies illa,
qua resurget ex favilla
iudicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce, Deus:
pie Iesu Domine,
dona eis requiem.

Cool chasuble.
A priest in Louisville was sued several years ago by a funeral director when he implemented policies that more fully conformed to Church teaching and liturgical law. Fr. Leger says the TLM almost daily, and has a radio show on local Catholic radio. He can be quite blunt, sometimes a little bit facetious, but Father is virtually always on the mark. I am so blessed to serve for him, and be around him. Deo gratias! http://www.deathcarelaw.com/uploads/file/courier-journal.pdf
Cantor says:
At my brother-in-law's funeral last year, the priest announced at the end of the Gospel reading that we would now take a 'pause' in the Mass so that the children of the deceased might share with us. When they were finished, he moved to the ambo for his sermon and we continued.
It felt somehow like I was attending St. VCR.
Joe Magarac says:
I have been part of a number of parishes where this would have been good practice at all Masses, not just TLM requiem Masses.
I read somewhere that in the Middle Ages, sermons were rare and you needed a special license to preach one; most priests just said the Mass without any sermon and gave religious instruction outside the Mass as needed. Most priests today are not natural homilists and are scared to say anything controversial, which makes me wonder if a return to that former practice (if it existed) would be a good idea.
I'm reminded of my late devout and housebound grandmother-in-law, who would watch daily Mass on EWTN but mute the homily. When asked why, she smiled sweetly and said "I don't like to hear them talk."
VexillaRegis says:
MattR: Interesting. Who won?
StWinefride says:
Palladio, I'll add some music!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up0t2ZDfX7E
Also, a Catholic Funeral is not a celebration of the life of the person who has died.
Absolutely love that chasuble!!
StWinefride, thanks. I will hold out for a simple majority, however. God bless.
The Motley Monk says:
Gosh…who needs a homily if one can gaze upon the lesson taught by that chasuable? That's got to be one of my all-time favorites!
Of course, the lesson would be lost if the priest was reading the Mass facing the people.
The mandatory Sunday homily is in keeping with the excessively didactic view of the Mass that also prompted celebration in the vernacular. I wouldn't miss most of the ones being preached these days if they were discontinued.
AA Cunningham says:
Does the ACP think that the GIRM is simply a "suggestion"?
382. At Funeral Masses there should usually be a short Homily, but to the exclusion of a funeral eulogy of any kind.
AvantiBev says:
This past Saturday we had the viewing, Funeral Mass (Novus Ordo) and burial of my Aunt Syl who died at age 96 on August 4th. She had spent the last few years of her life in an assisted living facility near her only daughter in Ohio. However, the funeral was in the small town of NW Indiana where she had grown up, married and raised her family, and worked; working part-time into her late 80's.
My cousin arranged for Catholic priest's prayers at the funeral home during the wake and, before we proceeded to the church for Mass, she had an old and dear friend of my aunt give a brief eulogy casket side. He and his wife had known my Aunt for years and his talk brought both smiles, chuckles and tears as he really captured the woman so many of us had known and loved.
Turns out he was a assistant pastor at the town's Congregational Church. If only the priest that said the Mass had been as warm and articulate as him; alas, the priest though elderly himself, was new to the parish so had not met my Aunt who had been in Ohio when he was appointed. But at the very least his Novus Ordo Mass was not as goofy as the church's interior design and he followed the rubrics even if his monotone delivery was rather pro forma and sleep inducing.
I would imagine that the priest was happy for the Congregationalist's knowledge of my Aunt and his stories about her as it added a personable and comforting tone to the day. I know the rest of us, both family and town residents, appreciated it.

The Masked Chicken says:
I don't really fault the people in the pew on this one, since too many years of abuse have made it seem like a eulogy is almost mandatory. The priests of the diocese or the bishop should do a better job informing the funeral directors and the loved ones what is permitted at the Mass and burial during their conversations with them at the funeral home. Often, the people who have lost a loved one are from out of town meeting with a priest they don't know. It is, primarily, the priest's responsibility to know the contents of the funeral mass and to clearly, but kindly, communicate them to the bereaved, who, often, are in shock.

HeatherPA says:
Another compelling reason to have your precise, very specific funeral instructions thrice printed- one for your estate lawyer or to place with your will in the home safe, one for the parish files, one for the funeral home doing the internment. It is the best way to (hopefully) ensure your wishes will be kept and high drama hijinks do not ensue, regardless of the circumstances of death- which we all are in the dark about in reference to ourselves.
Also, go to confession.
iPadre says:
No eulogies here! A friend of my aunts wanted to do one at my grandmothers funeral and I gave them a choice I will say the Mass or the person does the eulogy. Take the eulogy and find another priest! Of course, I did the Mass and NO eulogy.
Beautiful pianeta, by the way.
Volanges says:
I hate eulogies and canonizations at funerals as much as the next person posting here. But since the US Order of Christian Funerals allows for someone to speak of the deceased after Communion and before the Final Commendation, if I remember the placement correctly, I always associated GIRM 382, juxtaposing a homily and a eulogy, to be addressing what the priest must/must not do, rather than a eulogy by the family or friends.
The Canadian Order of Christian Funerals has that same 'family speak of the deceased' moment incorporated into the Funeral Vigil rather than the Funeral Mass.
frjim4321 says:
The funeral servers and I have a little joke going. I've told them that 90% of eulogies are NOT about the deceased, but they are about the person delivering the eulogy. This rule holds almost every time. Whenever the eulogy person starts talking about him/herself it's all we can do to not laugh out loud.
I've been trying to get a handle on this by requesting that eulogies are typed out in advance, no more than three pages double spaced. And they should be about the deceased, not about the person giving the eulogy.
This has been a really big problem in Ireland for a long time; if we don't get a handle on it in the US it will get much worse here also.
jhayes says:
The issue is where in the service a eulogy may occur. Not in the homily, but just before the commendation. As the Order of Christian Funerals provides: "A member or a friend of the family may speak in remembrance of the deceased before the final commendation begins." (OCF # 170)
That is for the USA. It may be different in other countries.

Our Archbishop wrote a Pastoral Letter earlier this year on funerals.
http://www.aod.org/being-catholic/prayer-and-worship/christian-funerals/pastoral-letter/
Then about two months ago I attended the funeral for a priest who died far too young (40yrs) and the entire "homily" was nothing but eulogy. The Archbishop was the main celebrant, the eulogy was given by the deceased priest's best friend (also a priest). After reading the Pastoral Letter of February, I was extremely saddened that his words were not heeded. I kept wondering what the Archbishop had to be thinking as he sat there listening to his Pastoral Letter essentially discarded.
So while I think it is wonderful that the Bishop in question is doing this — actual execution of his directive is what ultimately makes the difference.
I'm just looking for them to walk the talk — not a lot to ask, I don't think.
In the last couple of years, I have been to two celebrations of the "Funeral Liturgy Outside of Mass", where the priest (deacon in one case) came to the funeral home and celebrated the Liturgy there without the Eucharist. These included several lengthy "recollections" of the deceased by family members and friends.
I would have preferred they had a Funeral Mass in a church. This may be a reason not to be too restrictive about eulogies at the Funeral Mass.
I think, Dan, there's something about words of remembrance after communion in the rite?
Imrahil says:
Dear @Joe Magarac
which makes me wonder if a return to that former practice (if it existed) would be a good idea.
I wonder.
I think, though, that it would suffice to achieve the same effect (by which I do not say whether it should be done) to simply exempt the homily from the Sunday obligation again.
I keep sometimes thinking that we have to endure the sermon first to be rewarded with participation in the Sacrifice afterwards. Nevertheless, things being as they are it is the sermon which makes the first attempt to the question "what is Catholicism about".
And speaking can be trained, think of Demosthenes.
VexillaRegis, good question. I don't know as I moved here two years after the fact, but I wish we had more priests like him in our archdiocese, that's for sure.
rbbadger says:
My home parish generally has a rosary for the deceased the night before the funeral along with a wake. It is after the rosary that the family is allowed to say their eulogies if they so desire. The eulogies never take place during the Mass. Also, my former pastor felt very strongly that there should be the opportunity for confession to be made available after the rosary and before the funeral mass the day before. As he told me, funerals are a time when people are often most open to returning to the sacraments if they've been away for a while. His sermons for funerals were generally the same. They all tended to focus on the Four Last Things, which a funeral Mass ought to remind of us anyway.
Hidden One says:
Is there anywhere one could buy a chasuble like that now? Black vestments are getting more popular around here every year….
Jim R says:
The last 2 funerals I attended were at the same church with the same priest. In both cases the decedent and family were practicing Catholics. In each case the priest: (i) invited everyone to communion; (ii) told everyone to sit for the Eucharistic Prayer despite kneelers (not that kneelers really matter….); (iii) ad libbed large parts of the Mass; (iv) said the Our Father in the customary Protestant form; (v) and "canonized" the decedent during the homily/eulogy….
The only people confused were the Catholics who couldn't tell what the priest would do next – the Protestants in attendance didn't know what to expect or expect to know it. The only people who felt unwelcome were the Catholics who saw the Mass manhandled leaving all sorts of questions in their minds – the Protestants sort of expected a Catholic service with which they expected to be unfamiliar, but got one closer to a typical generic Presbyetrian/Epsicopal service with a few oddities.
I'm glad some Bishops are focusing on the eulogies…I just wish we were far enough along the road here toward "do the red/say the black" to worry about the eulogies. sigh
When my time comes, all I want is a traditional requiem Mass. Of course I'd like it sung, but I don't think I'm going to get that where I live. But I have always disliked eulogies and I'll be glad to spare my mourners one. I really like how the Mass makes it about God and man, not God and one particular man.
DanW said:
Why don't you follow the GRIM?
Certainly sounds like the appropriate document!
MikeToo says:
I went to a funeral at a Jesuit parish just over a year ago. They had a sermon from the priest and a eulogy from member of the family. The priest said we can pray to the deceased sine he is now in heaven. The family member talked about the deceased's spirituality and good works and said that she knows we can't proclaim he was in heaven with certainty.
stwilliam says:
We live in a drive-through country and eulogies within the Holy Mass are part of that so-called culture. A funeral home or a family home is perfect setting for eulogizing. If something indelicate or objectionable is said during a eulogy at a funeral home or in a private home, the people there can deal with it. And if the eulogies go on too long at the Funeral Home, they can leave for that reason as well – no harm, no foul.
When I am asked about eulogies, I recommend them but in their appropriate place and not in the Church. If they like they can have a eulogy at the cemetery once the rites have finished. Then, people can vote with their feet if they choose. They need to plan the times and places for eulogies and put that in the obit. Let people know. If it is important to them, they will show up.
Instead, people want it all to be in one place, like a drive-through window. Therefore they load up the Holy Mass as if it were a donkey and it's too much for the poor beast to carry.
In the end if you live with eulogies within the walls of the Church sooner or later the Priest is going to have to be the policeman. No thanks! We have enough problems with which to contend.
It is best to agree with the family that eulogies are allowed and then direct them to some place other than the Church and the Funeral Rites. It is also best to have stated as much in writing in the Sunday bulletin from time-to-time.
However, people can and do find reasons to be insulted no matter which way you guide them. So be content that this way is the path which protects the Holy Mass and those who really care about Our Lord and the family. With eulogies at the Funeral Home and not in the Church, the Priest cannot be pulled into the chaos which often accompanies grief at such a time. Fr. Paul, St. William, Greenville, TX
It wouldn't bother me a bit if homilies were eliminated totally.
Marc M says:
The "Ass.CP" line made me snort my tea. Thanks.
Interesting Slightly-off-topic Point, a thought of the day, if you will;
The picture of that Chasuble that Father has attached, is actually strictly forbidden by the Ceremoniale Episcoporum; "Omnia paramenta, tam altaris, quam celebrantis, et ministrorum, librorum, et faldistorii sint nigra, et in his nullae imagines mortuorum, vel cruces albae ponantur"
A few Documents from the Congregation for Sacred Rites expressly forbade the use of such vestments that depict an actual corpse throughout the 19th Century. Moreover, the Cer Ep also contains a rubric that forbids the use of "White Crosses" – and there is debate on this issue whether this applies to "white crosses" or "white crossbones" – which can also be seen on this Chasuble.
The Chasuble is an amazing work of art, rest-assured, and that one in particular is a great reminder of how in death we loose all worldly possessions and wealth and we are all judged as bare souls and no more. The depiction plays a great and symbolic role in Christian Art, but in all honesty I would not be keen to say how well such a vestment portrays the great Paschal Mystery that one witnesses at the Holy Sacrifice of Mass. Certainly, it is fascinating to think such of the very true depiction we are given from such art, and such things are to be held still as Sacred, surely.
Back to the topic:
Eulogies are not a good idea, a Priest friend of mine had a horrible experience during his first public celebration of a Requiem Mass in the Novus Ordo. He had a member of the family who came up to the Pulpit to give a eulogy and the man publicly ridiculed the person that the Mass was offered for, and he embarrassed his family. Moreover, the man had a briefcase with him, from which he pulled out highly inappropriate items belonging to the dead person, such as underpants and soap. At which point the ushers thankfully removed him from the pulpit after Father gave the nod. I pray for that man still.
Ban laypeople giving eulogies.
Would a WDTPRS Poll on this matter be apt?
edm says:
Jamie,
I admire the work done on the chasuble but agree totally with your comments. Bring on the black…but not this.
Your explanation was both thorough and succinct.
Gratias says:
If our bishops allowed the TLM for funerals then we would have a way of propagating the Catholic Faith, if only once. Go try getting a traditional requiem mass in Los Angeles.
manwithblackhat says:
When my Dad died in February of 2012, my family was lucky. They had (in all humility) me.
The planning began several months before, with everything meticulously appointed. The "ordinary form," but with a good bit of Latin chant, the Roman Canon, and the "In Paradisum." I went to the pastor, knowing what the normative practice was there: "Father, this is not a celebration of Dad's life. We are mourning his death. I don't want happy songs and gathering around the altar. I want weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth." We got that for the most part. We also used the program to call for silence before Mass, to prevent the love fest that I had to witness at one a few weeks earlier. What we did not get, thankfully, was a eulogy, as I managed to convince my family that it was not permitted.
We didn't get dark vestments either, but that's another story …
Closer to home, and in my own diocese, I do not believe eulogies are permitted, although they manage to make exceptions for priests and certain prominent laics of the diocese. I've never read where earthly accomplishments were a sign of "heroic sanctity," and I wish that jurisdictions which forbid eulogies would demonstrate some consistency, even with "famous" people. It would demonstrate their sincerity, and spare them having to insult our intelligence.
Nonetheless, I hope those I leave behind will save their praises for the wake. As was the case with Dad's passing, there will most assuredly be drinking there.
Magash says:
In the Archdiocese of Louisville matter the priest and funeral director settled out of court. According to the Louisville Herald [the story is behind a pay wall] the diocese agreed to allow the funeral director to use his own organist (who according to the story had left the parish over a dispute about whether she should be allowed to play the organ from an area next to the sanctuary or be required to be in the choir loft.) It is not clear from the story but it appears that the priest reinstitution the use of the loft. There were supporting quotes from a 70 year old woman of how the priest was so anti VII and how they'd complained to the diocese about him.
The funeral director was to be allowed to select the music, as long as it conformed to Church requirements, a way for both parties to save face. Also the pastor agreed to allow other priest to to officiate at funerals. No word on eulogies though.
The most interesting part for me was the contention by the judge that the parties should come to an arrangement because in his view the case, if litigated, had the potential to go all the way to the USSC over first amendment rights issues. Bereft of the anti-Catholic clamoring by people quoted in the story it look to me like the Archdiocese gave the funeral director a way to save face without making any real concessions at all. Father can still veto inappropriate music, and a pastor always has the authority to allow or prohibit any priest with valid faculties from using his church.
Magash: Thank you for researching that intriguing case! A diplomatic solution, I think.
